    000:000 English: Young's Literal Translation
01O 001:001 In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the  earth -- 
01O 001:002 the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on  the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the  face of the waters, 
01O 001:003 and God saith, `Let light be;' and light is. 
01O 001:004 And God seeth the light that [it is] good, and God  separateth between the light and the darkness, 
01O 001:005 and God calleth to the light `Day,' and to the darkness He  hath called `Night;' and there is an evening, and there is a  morning -- day one. 
01O 001:006 And God saith, `Let an expanse be in the midst of the  waters, and let it be separating between waters and waters.' 
01O 001:007 And God maketh the expanse, and it separateth between the  waters which [are] under the expanse, and the waters which  [are] above the expanse: and it is so. 
01O 001:008 And God calleth to the expanse `Heavens;' and there is an  evening, and there is a morning -- day second. 
01O 001:009 And God saith, `Let the waters under the heavens be  collected unto one place, and let the dry land be seen:' and it  is so. 
01O 001:010 And God calleth to the dry land `Earth,' and to the  collection of the waters He hath called `Seas;' and God seeth  that [it is] good. 
01O 001:011 And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb  sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making  fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so. 
01O 001:012 And the earth bringeth forth tender grass, herb sowing seed  after its kind, and tree making fruit (whose seed [is] in  itself) after its kind; and God seeth that [it is] good; 
01O 001:013 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day  third. 
01O 001:014 And God saith, `Let luminaries be in the expanse of the  heavens, to make a separation between the day and the night,  then they have been for signs, and for seasons, and for days  and years, 
01O 001:015 and they have been for luminaries in the expanse of the  heavens to give light upon the earth:' and it is so. 
01O 001:016 And God maketh the two great luminaries, the great luminary  for the rule of the day, and the small luminary -- and the  stars -- for the rule of the night; 
01O 001:017 and God giveth them in the expanse of the heavens to give  light upon the earth, 
01O 001:018 and to rule over day and over night, and to make a  separation between the light and the darkness; and God seeth  that [it is] good; 
01O 001:019 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day  fourth. 
01O 001:020 And God saith, `Let the waters teem with the teeming living  creature, and fowl let fly on the earth on the face of the  expanse of the heavens.' 
01O 001:021 And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living  creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with,  after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and  God seeth that [it is] good. 
01O 001:022 And God blesseth them, saying, `Be fruitful, and multiply,  and fill the waters in the seas, and the fowl let multiply in  the earth:' 
01O 001:023 and there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day  fifth. 
01O 001:024 And God saith, `Let the earth bring forth the living  creature after its kind, cattle and creeping thing, and beast  of the earth after its kind:' and it is so. 
01O 001:025 And God maketh 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 God seeth that [it is] good. 
01O 001:026 And God saith, `Let Us make man in Our image, according to  Our likeness, and let them rule over fish of the sea, and over  fowl of the heavens, and over cattle, and over all the earth,  and over every creeping thing that is creeping on the earth.' 
01O 001:027 And God prepareth the man in His image; in the image of God  He prepared him, a male and a female He prepared them. 
01O 001:028 And God blesseth them, and God saith to them, `Be fruitful,  and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over  fish of the sea, and over fowl of the heavens, and over every  living thing that is creeping upon the earth.' 
01O 001:029 And God saith, `Lo, I have given to you every herb sowing  seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree  in which [is] the fruit of a tree sowing seed, to you it is for  food; 
01O 001:030 and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the  heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which  [is] breath of life, every green herb [is] for food:' and it is  so. 
01O 001:031 And God seeth all that He hath done, and lo, very good; and  there is an evening, and there is a morning -- day the sixth. 
01O 002:001 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their  host; 
01O 002:002 and God completeth by the seventh day His work which He hath  made, and ceaseth by the seventh day from all His work which He  hath made. 
01O 002:003 And God blesseth the seventh day, and sanctifieth it, for in  it He hath ceased from all His work which God had prepared for  making. 
01O 002:004 These [are] births of the heavens and of the earth in their  being prepared, in the day of Jehovah God's making earth and  heavens; 
01O 002:005 and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb  of the field yet sprouteth, for Jehovah God hath not rained  upon the earth, and a man there is not to serve the ground, 
01O 002:006 and a mist goeth up from the earth, and hath watered the  whole face of the ground. 
01O 002:007 And Jehovah God formeth the man -- dust from the ground, and  breatheth into his nostrils breath of life, and the man  becometh a living creature. 
01O 002:008 And Jehovah God planteth a garden in Eden, at the east, and  He setteth there the man whom He hath formed; 
01O 002:009 and Jehovah God causeth to sprout from the ground every tree  desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the tree of  life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of  good and evil. 
01O 002:010 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and  from thence it is parted, and hath become four chief [rivers]; 
01O 002:011 the name of the one [is] Pison, it [is] that which is  surrounding the whole land of the Havilah where the gold [is], 
01O 002:012 and the gold of that land [is] good, there [is] the bdolach  and the shoham stone; 
01O 002:013 and the name of the second river [is] Gibon, it [is] that  which is surrounding the whole land of Cush; 
01O 002:014 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that  which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is Phrat. 
01O 002:015 And Jehovah God taketh the man, and causeth him to rest in  the garden of Eden, to serve it, and to keep it. 
01O 002:016 And Jehovah God layeth a charge on the man, saying, `Of  every tree of the garden eating thou dost eat; 
01O 002:017 and of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou dost  not eat of it, for in the day of thine eating of it -- dying  thou dost die.' 
01O 002:018 And Jehovah God saith, `Not good for the man to be alone, I  do make to him an helper -- as his counterpart.' 
01O 002:019 And Jehovah God formeth from the ground every beast of the  field, and every fowl of the heavens, and bringeth in unto the  man, to see what he doth call it; and whatever the man calleth  a living creature, that [is] its name. 
01O 002:020 And the man calleth names to all the cattle, and to fowl of  the heavens, and to every beast of the field; and to man hath  not been found an helper -- as his counterpart. 
01O 002:021 And Jehovah God causeth a deep sleep to fall upon the man,  and he sleepeth, and He taketh one of his ribs, and closeth up  flesh in its stead. 
01O 002:022 And Jehovah God buildeth up the rib which He hath taken out  of the man into a woman, and bringeth her in unto the man; 
01O 002:023 and the man saith, `This [is] the [proper] step! bone of my  bone, and flesh of my flesh!' for this it is called Woman, for  from a man hath this been taken; 
01O 002:024 therefore doth a man leave his father and his mother, and  hath cleaved unto his wife, and they have become one flesh. 
01O 002:025 And they are both of them naked, the man and his wife, and  they are not ashamed of themselves. 
01O 003:001 And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the  field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman,  `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of  the garden?' 
01O 003:002 And the woman saith unto the serpent, `Of the fruit of the  trees of the garden we do eat, 
01O 003:003 and of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the  garden God hath said, Ye do not eat of it, nor touch it, lest  ye die.' 
01O 003:004 And the serpent saith unto the woman, `Dying, ye do not die, 
01O 003:005 for God doth know that in the day of your eating of it --  your eyes have been opened, and ye have been as God, knowing  good and evil.' 
01O 003:006 And the woman seeth that the tree [is] good for food, and  that it [is] pleasant to the eyes, and the tree is desirable to  make [one] wise, and she taketh of its fruit and eateth, and  giveth also to her husband with her, and he doth eat; 
01O 003:007 and the eyes of them both are opened, and they know that  they [are] naked, and they sew fig-leaves, and make to  themselves girdles. 
01O 003:008 And they hear the sound of Jehovah God walking up and down  in the garden at the breeze of the day, and the man and his  wife hide themselves from the face of Jehovah God in the midst  of the trees of the garden. 
01O 003:009 And Jehovah God calleth unto the man, and saith to him,  `Where [art] thou?' 
01O 003:010 and he saith, `Thy sound I have heard in the garden, and I  am afraid, for I am naked, and I hide myself.' 
01O 003:011 And He saith, `Who hath declared to thee that thou [art]  naked? of the tree of which I have commanded thee not to eat,  hast thou eaten?' 
01O 003:012 and the man saith, `The woman whom Thou didst place with me  -- she hath given to me of the tree -- and I do eat.' 
01O 003:013 And Jehovah God saith to the woman, `What [is] this thou  hast done?' and the woman saith, `The serpent hath caused me to  forget -- and I do eat.' 
01O 003:014 And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast  done this, cursed [art] thou above all the cattle, and above  every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust  thou dost eat, all days of thy life; 
01O 003:015 and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between  thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and  thou dost bruise him -- the heel.' 
01O 003:016 Unto the woman He said, `Multiplying I multiply thy sorrow  and thy conception, in sorrow dost thou bear children, and  toward thy husband [is] thy desire, and he doth rule over  thee.' 
01O 003:017 And to the man He said, `Because thou hast hearkened to the  voice of thy wife, and dost eat of the tree concerning which I  have charged thee, saying, Thou dost not eat of it, cursed [is]  the ground on thine account; in sorrow thou dost eat of it all  days of thy life, 
01O 003:018 and thorn and bramble it doth bring forth to thee, and thou  hast eaten the herb of the field; 
01O 003:019 by the sweat of thy face thou dost eat bread till thy  return unto the ground, for out of it hast thou been taken, for  dust thou [art], and unto dust thou turnest back.' 
01O 003:020 And the man calleth his wife's name Eve: for she hath been  mother of all living. 
01O 003:021 And Jehovah God doth make to the man and to his wife coats  of skin, and doth clothe them. 
01O 003:022 And Jehovah God saith, `Lo, the man was as one of Us, as to  the knowledge of good and evil; and now, lest he send forth his  hand, and have taken also of the tree of life, and eaten, and  lived to the age,' -- 
01O 003:023 Jehovah God sendeth him forth from the garden of Eden to  serve the ground from which he hath been taken; 
01O 003:024 yea, he casteth out the man, and causeth to dwell at the  east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flame of the  sword which is turning itself round to guard the way of the  tree of life. 
01O 004:001 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and  beareth Cain, and saith, `I have gotten a man by Jehovah;' 
01O 004:002 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is  feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground. 
01O 004:003 And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth  from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah; 
01O 004:004 and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female  firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah  looketh unto Abel and unto his present, 
01O 004:005 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and  it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen. 
01O 004:006 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Why hast thou displeasure? and  why hath thy countenance fallen? 
01O 004:007 Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou  dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and  unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.' 
01O 004:008 And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, [`Let us go into the  field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field,  that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him. 
01O 004:009 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, `Where [is] Abel thy brother?'  and he saith, `I have not known; my brother's keeper -- I?' 
01O 004:010 And He saith, `What hast thou done? the voice of thy  brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground; 
01O 004:011 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath  opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy  hand; 
01O 004:012 when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its  strength to thee -- a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art  in the earth.' 
01O 004:013 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, `Greater is my punishment than  to be borne; 
01O 004:014 lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the  ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer,  even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been -- every  one finding me doth slay me.' 
01O 004:015 And Jehovah saith to him, `Therefore -- of any slayer of  Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a  token that none finding him doth slay him. 
01O 004:016 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the  land, moving about east of Eden; 
01O 004:017 and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth  Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of  the city, according to the name of his son -- Enoch. 
01O 004:018 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael;  and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath  begotten Lamech. 
01O 004:019 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the  one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah. 
01O 004:020 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those  inhabiting tents and purchased possessions; 
01O 004:021 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father  of every one handling harp and organ. 
01O 004:022 And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every  artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is]  Naamah. 
01O 004:023 And Lamech saith to his wives: -- `Adah and Zillah, hear my  voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I  have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt; 
01O 004:024 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy  and sevenfold.' 
01O 004:025 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and  calleth his name Seth, `for God hath appointed for me another  seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him. 
01O 004:026 And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he  calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching  in the name of Jehovah. 
01O 005:001 This [is] an account of the births of Adam: In the day of  God's preparing man, in the likeness of God He hath made him; 
01O 005:002 a male and a female He hath prepared them, and He blesseth  them, and calleth their name Man, in the day of their being  prepared. 
01O 005:003 And Adam liveth an hundred and thirty years, and begetteth  [a son] in his likeness, according to his image, and calleth  his name Seth. 
01O 005:004 And the days of Adam after his begetting Seth are eight  hundred years, and he begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:005 And all the days of Adam which he lived are nine hundred and  thirty years, and he dieth. 
01O 005:006 And Seth liveth an hundred and five years, and begetteth  Enos. 
01O 005:007 And Seth liveth after his begetting Enos eight hundred and  seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:008 And all the days of Seth are nine hundred and twelve years,  and he dieth. 
01O 005:009 And Enos liveth ninety years, and begetteth Cainan. 
01O 005:010 And Enos liveth after his begetting Cainan eight hundred  and fifteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:011 And all the days of Enos are nine hundred and five years,  and he dieth. 
01O 005:012 And Cainan liveth seventy years, and begetteth Mahalaleel. 
01O 005:013 And Cainan liveth after his begetting Mahalaleel eight  hundred and forty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:014 And all the days of Cainan are nine hundred and ten years,  and he dieth. 
01O 005:015 And Mahalaleel liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth  Jared. 
01O 005:016 And Mahalaleel liveth after his begetting Jared eight  hundred and thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:017 And all the days of Mahalaleel are eight hundred and ninety  and five years, and he dieth. 
01O 005:018 And Jared liveth an hundred and sixty and two years, and  begetteth Enoch. 
01O 005:019 And Jared liveth after his begetting Enoch eight hundred  years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:020 And all the days of Jared are nine hundred and sixty and  two years, and he dieth. 
01O 005:021 And Enoch liveth five and sixty years, and begetteth  Methuselah. 
01O 005:022 And Enoch walketh habitually with God after his begetting  Methuselah three hundred years, and begetteth sons and  daughters. 
01O 005:023 And all the days of Enoch are three hundred and sixty and  five years. 
01O 005:024 And Enoch walketh habitually with God, and he is not, for  God hath taken him. 
01O 005:025 And Methuselah liveth an hundred and eighty and seven  years, and begetteth Lamech. 
01O 005:026 And Methuselah liveth after his begetting Lamech seven  hundred and eighty and two years, and begetteth sons and  daughters. 
01O 005:027 And all the days of Methuselah are nine hundred and sixty  and nine years, and he dieth. 
01O 005:028 And Lamech liveth an hundred and eighty and two years, and  begetteth a son, 
01O 005:029 and calleth his name Noah, saying, `This [one] doth comfort  us concerning our work, and concerning the labour of our hands,  because of the ground which Jehovah hath cursed.' 
01O 005:030 And Lamech liveth after his begetting Noah five hundred and  ninety and five years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 005:031 And all the days of Lamech are seven hundred and seventy  and seven years, and he dieth. 
01O 005:032 And Noah is a son of five hundred years, and Noah begetteth  Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 
01O 006:001 And it cometh to pass that mankind have begun to multiply on  the face of the ground, and daughters have been born to them, 
01O 006:002 and sons of God see the daughters of men that they [are]  fair, and they take to themselves women of all whom they have  chosen. 
01O 006:003 And Jehovah saith, `My Spirit doth not strive in man -- to  the age; in their erring they [are] flesh:' and his days have  been an hundred and twenty years. 
01O 006:004 The fallen ones were in the earth in those days, and even  afterwards when sons of God come in unto daughters of men, and  they have borne to them -- they [are] the heroes, who, from of  old, [are] the men of name. 
01O 006:005 And Jehovah seeth that abundant [is] the wickedness of man  in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his  heart only evil all the day; 
01O 006:006 and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth,  and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart. 
01O 006:007 And Jehovah saith, `I wipe away man whom I have prepared  from off the face of the ground, from man unto beast, unto  creeping thing, and unto fowl of the heavens, for I have  repented that I have made them.' 
01O 006:008 And Noah found grace in the eyes of Jehovah. 
01O 006:009 These [are] births of Noah: Noah [is] a righteous man;  perfect he hath been among his generations; with God hath Noah  walked habitually. 
01O 006:010 And Noah begetteth three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 
01O 006:011 And the earth is corrupt before God, and the earth is  filled [with] violence. 
01O 006:012 And God seeth the earth, and lo, it hath been corrupted,  for all flesh hath corrupted its way on the earth. 
01O 006:013 And God said to Noah, `An end of all flesh hath come before  Me, for the earth hath been full of violence from their  presence; and lo, I am destroying them with the earth. 
01O 006:014 `Make for thyself an ark of gopher-wood; rooms dost thou  make with the ark, and thou hast covered it within and without  with cypress; 
01O 006:015 and this [is] that which thou dost with it: three hundred  cubits [is] the length of the ark, fifty cubits its breadth,  and thirty cubits its height; 
01O 006:016 a window dost thou make for the ark, and unto a cubit thou  dost restrain it from above; and the opening of the ark thou  dost put in its side, -- lower, second, and third [stories]  dost thou make it. 
01O 006:017 `And I, lo, I am bringing in the deluge of waters on the  earth to destroy all flesh, in which [is] a living spirit, from  under the heavens; all that [is] in the earth doth expire. 
01O 006:018 `And I have established My covenant with thee, and thou  hast come in unto the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife,  and thy son's wives with thee; 
01O 006:019 and of all that liveth, of all flesh, two of every [sort]  thou dost bring in unto the ark, to keep alive with thee; male  and female are they. 
01O 006:020 Of the fowl after its kind, and of the cattle after their  kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two  of every [sort] they come in unto thee, to keep alive. 
01O 006:021 `And thou, take to thyself of all food that is eaten; and  thou hast gathered unto thyself, and it hath been to thee and  to them for food.' 
01O 006:022 And Noah doth according to all that God hath commanded him;  so hath he done. 
01O 007:001 And Jehovah saith to Noah, `Come in, thou and all thy house,  unto the ark, for thee I have seen righteous before Me in this  generation; 
01O 007:002 of all the clean beasts thou dost take to thee seven pairs,  a male and its female; and of the beasts which are not clean  two, a male and its female; 
01O 007:003 also, of fowl of the heavens seven pairs, a male and a  female, to keep alive seed on the face of all the earth; 
01O 007:004 for after other seven days I am sending rain on the earth  forty days and forty nights, and have wiped away all the  substance that I have made from off the face of the ground.' 
01O 007:005 And Noah doth according to all that Jehovah hath commanded  him: 
01O 007:006 and Noah [is] a son of six hundred years, and the deluge of  waters hath been upon the earth. 
01O 007:007 And Noah goeth in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons'  wives with him, unto the ark, from the presence of the waters  of the deluge; 
01O 007:008 of the clean beasts and of the beasts that [are] not clean,  and of the fowl, and of every thing that is creeping upon the  ground, 
01O 007:009 two by two they have come in unto Noah, unto the ark, a male  and a female, as God hath commanded Noah. 
01O 007:010 And it cometh to pass, after the seventh of the days, that  waters of the deluge have been on the earth. 
01O 007:011 In the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, in the  second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, in this day  have been broken up all fountains of the great deep, and the  net-work of the heavens hath been opened, 
01O 007:012 and the shower is on the earth forty days and forty nights. 
01O 007:013 In this self-same day went in Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and  Japheth, sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of  his sons with them, unto the ark; 
01O 007:014 they, and every living creature after its kind, and every  beast after its kind, and every creeping thing that is creeping  on the earth after its kind, and every fowl after its kind,  every bird -- every wing. 
01O 007:015 And they come in unto Noah, unto the ark, two by two of all  the flesh in which [is] a living spirit; 
01O 007:016 and they that are coming in, male and female of all flesh,  have come in as God hath commanded him, and Jehovah doth close  [it] for him. 
01O 007:017 And the deluge is forty days on the earth, and the waters  multiply, and lift up the ark, and it is raised up from off the  earth; 
01O 007:018 and the waters are mighty, and multiply exceedingly upon  the earth; and the ark goeth on the face of the waters. 
01O 007:019 And the waters have been very very mighty on the earth, and  covered are all the high mountains which [are] under the whole  heavens; 
01O 007:020 fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and  the mountains are covered; 
01O 007:021 and expire doth all flesh that is moving on the earth,  among fowl, and among cattle, and among beasts, and among all  the teeming things which are teeming on the earth, and all  mankind; 
01O 007:022 all in whose nostrils [is] breath of a living spirit -- of  all that [is] in the dry land -- have died. 
01O 007:023 And wiped away is all the substance that is on the face of  the ground, from man unto beast, unto creeping thing, and unto  fowl of the heavens; yea, they are wiped away from the earth,  and only Noah is left, and those who [are] with him in the ark; 
01O 007:024 and the waters are mighty on the earth a hundred and fifty  days. 
01O 008:001 And God remembereth Noah, and every living thing, and all  the cattle which [are] with him in the ark, and God causeth a  wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subside, 
01O 008:002 and closed are the fountains of the deep and the net-work of  the heavens, and restrained is the shower from the heavens. 
01O 008:003 And turn back do the waters from off the earth, going on and  returning; and the waters are lacking at the end of a hundred  and fifty days. 
01O 008:004 And the ark resteth, in the seventh month, in the  seventeenth day of the month, on mountains of Ararat; 
01O 008:005 and the waters have been going and becoming lacking till the  tenth month; in the tenth [month], on the first of the month,  appeared the heads of the mountains. 
01O 008:006 And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah  openeth the window of the ark which he made, 
01O 008:007 and he sendeth forth the raven, and it goeth out, going out  and turning back till the drying of the waters from off the  earth. 
01O 008:008 And he sendeth forth the dove from him to see whether the  waters have been lightened from off the face of the ground, 
01O 008:009 and the dove hath not found rest for the sole of her foot,  and she turneth back unto him, unto the ark, for waters [are]  on the face of all the earth, and he putteth out his hand, and  taketh her, and bringeth her in unto him, unto the ark. 
01O 008:010 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and addeth to send  forth the dove from the ark; 
01O 008:011 and the dove cometh in unto him at even-time, and lo, an  olive leaf torn off in her mouth; and Noah knoweth that the  waters have been lightened from off the earth. 
01O 008:012 And he stayeth yet other seven days, and sendeth forth the  dove, and it added not to turn back unto him any more. 
01O 008:013 And it cometh to pass in the six hundredth and first year,  in the first [month], in the first of the month, the waters  have been dried from off the earth; and Noah turneth aside the  covering of the ark, and looketh, and lo, the face of the  ground hath been dried. 
01O 008:014 And in the second month, in the seven and twentieth day of  the month, the earth hath become dry. 
01O 008:015 And God speaketh unto Noah, saying, `Go out from the ark,  thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with  thee; 
01O 008:016 every living thing that [is] with thee, of all flesh, among  fowl, and among cattle, and among every creeping thing which is  creeping on the earth, bring out with thee; 
01O 008:017 and they have teemed in the earth, and been fruitful, and  have multiplied on the earth.' 
01O 008:018 And Noah goeth out, and his sons, and his wife, and his  sons' wives with him; 
01O 008:019 every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl; every  creeping thing on the earth, after their families, have gone  out from the ark. 
01O 008:020 And Noah buildeth an altar to Jehovah, and taketh of every  clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and causeth  burnt-offerings to ascend on the altar; 
01O 008:021 and Jehovah smelleth the sweet fragrance, and Jehovah saith  unto His heart, `I continue not to disesteem any more the  ground because of man, though the imagination of the heart of  man [is] evil from his youth; and I continue not to smite any  more all living, as I have done; 
01O 008:022 during all days of the earth, seed-time and harvest, and  cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night, do not  cease.' 
01O 009:001 And God blesseth Noah, and his sons, and saith to them, `Be  fruitful, and multiply, and fill the earth; 
01O 009:002 and your fear and your dread is on every beast of the earth,  and on every fowl of the heavens, on all that creepeth on the  ground, and on all fishes of the sea -- into your hand they  have been given. 
01O 009:003 Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food;  as the green herb I have given to you the whole; 
01O 009:004 only flesh in its life -- its blood -- ye do not eat. 
01O 009:005 `And only your blood for your lives do I require; from the  hand of every living thing I require it, and from the hand of  man, from the hand of every man's brother I require the life of  man; 
01O 009:006 whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man is his blood shed: for in  the image of God hath He made man. 
01O 009:007 And ye, be fruitful and multiply, teem in the earth, and  multiply in it.' 
01O 009:008 And God speaketh unto Noah, and unto his sons with him,  saying, 
01O 009:009 `And I, lo, I am establishing My covenant with you, and with  your seed after you, 
01O 009:010 and with every living creature which [is] with you, among  fowl, among cattle, and among every beast of the earth with  you, from all who are going out of the ark -- to every beast of  the earth. 
01O 009:011 And I have established My covenant with you, and all flesh  is not any more cut off by waters of a deluge, and there is not  any more a deluge to destroy the earth.' 
01O 009:012 And God saith, `This is a token of the covenant which I am  giving between Me and you, and every living creature that [is]  with you, to generations age-during; 
01O 009:013 My bow I have given in the cloud, and it hath been for a  token of a covenant between Me and the earth; 
01O 009:014 and it hath come to pass (in My sending a cloud over the  earth) that the bow hath been seen in the cloud, 
01O 009:015 and I have remembered My covenant which is between Me and  you, and every living creature among all flesh, and the waters  become no more a deluge to destroy all flesh; 
01O 009:016 and the bow hath been in the cloud, and I have seen it --  to remember the covenant age-during between God and every  living creature among all flesh which [is] on the earth.' 
01O 009:017 And God saith unto Noah, `This [is] a token of the covenant  which I have established between Me and all flesh that [is]  upon the earth.' 
01O 009:018 And the sons of Noah who are going out of the ark are Shem,  and Ham, and Japheth; and Ham is father of Canaan. 
01O 009:019 These three [are] sons of Noah, and from these hath all the  earth been overspread. 
01O 009:020 And Noah remaineth a man of the ground, and planteth a  vineyard, 
01O 009:021 and drinketh of the wine, and is drunken, and uncovereth  himself in the midst of the tent. 
01O 009:022 And Ham, father of Canaan, seeth the nakedness of his  father, and declareth to his two brethren without. 
01O 009:023 And Shem taketh -- Japheth also -- the garment, and they  place on the shoulder of them both, and go backward, and cover  the nakedness of their father; and their faces [are] backward,  and their father's nakedness they have not seen. 
01O 009:024 And Noah awaketh from his wine, and knoweth that which his  young son hath done to him, 
01O 009:025 and saith: `Cursed [is] Canaan, Servant of servants he is  to his brethren.' 
01O 009:026 And he saith: `Blessed of Jehovah my God [is] Shem, And  Canaan is servant to him. 
01O 009:027 God doth give beauty to Japheth, And he dwelleth in tents  of Shem, And Canaan is servant to him.' 
01O 009:028 And Noah liveth after the deluge three hundred and fifty  years; 
01O 009:029 and all the days of Noah are nine hundred and fifty years,  and he dieth. 
01O 010:001 And these [are] births of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and  Japheth; and born to them are sons after the deluge. 
01O 010:002 `Sons of Japheth [are] Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and  Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. 
01O 010:003 And sons of Gomer [are] Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and  Togarmah. 
01O 010:004 And sons of Javan [are] Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and  Dodanim. 
01O 010:005 By these have the isles of the nations been parted in their  lands, each by his tongue, by their families, in their nations. 
01O 010:006 And sons of Ham [are] Cush, and Mitzraim, and Phut, and  Canaan. 
01O 010:007 And sons of Cush [are] Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and  Raamah, and Sabtechah; and sons of Raamah [are] Sheba and  Dedan. 
01O 010:008 And Cush hath begotten Nimrod; 
01O 010:009 he hath begun to be a hero in the land; he hath been a hero  in hunting before Jehovah; therefore it is said, `As Nimrod the  hero [in] hunting before Jehovah.' 
01O 010:010 And the first part of his kingdom is Babel, and Erech, and  Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar; 
01O 010:011 from that land he hath gone out to Asshur, and buildeth  Nineveh, even the broad places of the city, and Calah, 
01O 010:012 and Resen, between Nineveh and Calah; it [is] the great  city. 
01O 010:013 And Mitzraim hath begotten the Ludim, and the Anamim, and  the Lehabim, and the Naphtuhim, 
01O 010:014 and the Pathrusim, and the Casluhim, (whence have come out  Philistim,) and the Caphtorim. 
01O 010:015 And Canaan hath begotten Sidon his first-born, and Heth, 
01O 010:016 and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 
01O 010:017 and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 
01O 010:018 and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite; and  afterwards have the families of the Canaanite been scattered. 
01O 010:019 And the border of the Canaanite is from Sidon, [in] thy  coming towards Gerar, unto Gaza; [in] thy coming towards Sodom,  and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, unto Lasha. 
01O 010:020 These [are] sons of Ham, by their families, by their  tongues, in their lands, in their nations. 
01O 010:021 As to Shem, father of all sons of Eber, brother of Japheth  the elder, he hath also begotten: 
01O 010:022 Sons of Shem [are] Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and  Lud, and Aram. 
01O 010:023 And sons of Aram [are] Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash. 
01O 010:024 And Arphaxad hath begotten Salah, and Salah hath begotten  Eber. 
01O 010:025 And to Eber have two sons been born; the name of the one  [is] Peleg (for in his days hath the earth been divided,) and  his brother's name [is] Joktan. 
01O 010:026 And Joktan hath begotten Almodad, and Sheleph, and  Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 
01O 010:027 and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah, 
01O 010:028 and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba, 
01O 010:029 and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] sons of  Joktan; 
01O 010:030 and their dwelling is from Mesha, [in] thy coming towards  Sephar, a mount of the east. 
01O 010:031 These [are] sons of Shem, by their families, by their  tongues, in their lands, by their nations. 
01O 010:032 These [are] families of the sons of Noah, by their births,  in their nations, and by these have the nations been parted in  the earth after the deluge. 
01O 011:001 And the whole earth is of one pronunciation, and of the  same words, 
01O 011:002 and it cometh to pass, in their journeying from the east,  that they find a valley in the land of Shinar, and dwell there; 
01O 011:003 and they say each one to his neighbour, `Give help, let us  make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly:' and the brick is to  them for stone, and the bitumen hath been to them for mortar. 
01O 011:004 And they say, `Give help, let us build for ourselves a city  and tower, and its head in the heavens, and make for ourselves  a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.' 
01O 011:005 And Jehovah cometh down to see the city and the tower which  the sons of men have builded; 
01O 011:006 and Jehovah saith, `Lo, the people [is] one, and one  pronunciation [is] to them all, and this it hath dreamed of  doing; and now, nothing is restrained from them of that which  they have purposed to do. 
01O 011:007 Give help, let us go down, and mingle there their  pronunciation, so that a man doth not understand the  pronunciation of his companion.' 
01O 011:008 And Jehovah doth scatter them from thence over the face of  all the earth, and they cease to build the city; 
01O 011:009 therefore hath [one] called its name Babel, for there hath  Jehovah mingled the pronunciation of all the earth, and from  thence hath Jehovah scattered them over the face of all the  earth. 
01O 011:010 These [are] births of Shem: Shem [is] a son of an hundred  years, and begetteth Arphaxad two years after the deluge. 
01O 011:011 And Shem liveth after his begetting Arphaxad five hundred  years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:012 And Arphaxad hath lived five and thirty years, and  begetteth Salah. 
01O 011:013 And Arphaxad liveth after his begetting Salah four hundred  and three years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:014 And Salah hath lived thirty years, and begetteth Eber. 
01O 011:015 And Salah liveth after his begetting Eber four hundred and  three years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:016 And Eber liveth four and thirty years, and begetteth  Peleg. 
01O 011:017 And Eber liveth after his begetting Peleg four hundred and  thirty years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:018 And Peleg liveth thirty years, and begetteth Reu. 
01O 011:019 And Peleg liveth after his begetting Reu two hundred and  nine years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:020 And Reu liveth two and thirty years, and begetteth Serug. 
01O 011:021 And Reu liveth after his begetting Serug two hundred and  seven years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:022 And Serug liveth thirty years, and begetteth Nahor. 
01O 011:023 And Serug liveth after his begetting Nahor two hundred  years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:024 And Nahor liveth nine and twenty years, and begetteth  Terah. 
01O 011:025 And Nahor liveth after his begetting Terah an hundred and  nineteen years, and begetteth sons and daughters. 
01O 011:026 And Terah liveth seventy years, and begetteth Abram,  Nahor, and Haran. 
01O 011:027 And these [are] births of Terah: Terah hath begotten  Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran hath begotten Lot; 
01O 011:028 and Haran dieth in the presence of Terah his father, in  the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees. 
01O 011:029 And Abram and Nahor take to themselves wives; the name of  Abram's wife [is] Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife [is]  Milcah, daughter of Haran, father of Milcah, and father of  Iscah. 
01O 011:030 And Sarai is barren -- she hath no child. 
01O 011:031 And Terah taketh Abram his son, and Lot, son of Haran, his  son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, wife of Abram his  son, and they go out with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go  towards the land of Canaan; and they come unto Charan, and  dwell there. 
01O 011:032 And the days of Terah are two hundred and five years, and  Terah dieth in Charan. 
01O 012:001 And Jehovah saith unto Abram, `Go for thyself, from thy  land, and from thy kindred, and from the house of thy father,  unto the land which I shew thee. 
01O 012:002 And I make thee become a great nation, and bless thee, and  make thy name great; and be thou a blessing. 
01O 012:003 And I bless those blessing thee, and him who is  disesteeming thee I curse, and blessed in thee have been all  families of the ground.' 
01O 012:004 And Abram goeth on, as Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and  Lot goeth with him, and Abram [is] a son of five and seventy  years in his going out from Charan. 
01O 012:005 And Abram taketh Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son,  and all their substance that they have gained, and the persons  that they have obtained in Charan; and they go out to go  towards the land of Canaan; and they come in to the land of  Canaan. 
01O 012:006 And Abram passeth over into the land, unto the place  Shechem, unto the oak of Moreh; and the Canaanite [is] then in  the land. 
01O 012:007 And Jehovah appeareth unto Abram, and saith, `To thy seed I  give this land;' and he buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, who  hath appeared unto him. 
01O 012:008 And he removeth from thence towards a mountain at the east  of Beth-El, and stretcheth out the tent (Beth-El at the west,  and Hai at the east), and he buildeth there an altar to  Jehovah, and preacheth in the name of Jehovah. 
01O 012:009 And Abram journeyeth, going on and journeying towards the  south. 
01O 012:010 And there is a famine in the land, and Abram goeth down  towards Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [is] grievous in  the land; 
01O 012:011 and it cometh to pass as he hath drawn near to enter  Egypt, that he saith unto Sarai his wife, `Lo, I pray thee, I  have known that thou [art] a woman of beautiful appearance; 
01O 012:012 and it hath come to pass that the Egyptians see thee, and  they have said, `This [is] his wife,' and they have slain me,  and thee they keep alive: 
01O 012:013 say, I pray thee, thou [art] my sister, so that it is well  with me because of thee, and my soul hath lived for thy sake.' 
01O 012:014 And it cometh to pass, at the entering of Abram into  Egypt, that the Egyptians see the woman that she [is] exceeding  fair; 
01O 012:015 and princes of Pharaoh see her, and praise her unto  Pharaoh, and the woman is taken [to] Pharaoh's house; 
01O 012:016 and to Abram he hath done good because of her, and he hath  sheep and oxen, and he-asses, and men-servants, and handmaids,  and she-asses, and camels. 
01O 012:017 And Jehovah plagueth Pharaoh and his house -- great  plagues -- for the matter of Sarai, Abram's wife. 
01O 012:018 And Pharaoh calleth for Abram, and saith, `What [is] this  thou hast done to me? why hast thou not declared to me that she  [is] thy wife? 
01O 012:019 Why hast thou said, She [is] my sister, and I take her to  myself for a wife? and now, lo, thy wife, take and go.' 
01O 012:020 And Pharaoh chargeth men concerning him, and they send him  away, and his wife, an all that he hath. 
01O 013:001 And Abram goeth up from Egypt (he and his wife, and all  that he hath, and Lot with him) towards the south; 
01O 013:002 and Abram [is] exceedingly wealthy in cattle, in silver,  and in gold. 
01O 013:003 And he goeth on his journeyings from the south, even unto  Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the  commencement, between Bethel and Hai -- 
01O 013:004 unto the place of the altar which he made there at the  first, and there doth Abram preach in the name of Jehovah. 
01O 013:005 And also to Lot, who is going with Abram, there hath been  sheep and oxen and tents; 
01O 013:006 and the land hath not suffered them to dwell together, for  their substance hath been much, and they have not been able to  dwell together; 
01O 013:007 and there is a strife between those feeding Abram's cattle  and those feeding Lot's cattle; and the Canaanite and the  Perizzite [are] then dwelling in the land. 
01O 013:008 And Abram saith unto Lot, `Let there not, I pray thee, be  strife between me and thee, and between my shepherds and thy  shepherds, for we [are] men -- brethren. 
01O 013:009 Is not all the land before thee? be parted, I pray thee,  from me; if to the left, then I to the right; and if to the  right, then I to the left.' 
01O 013:010 And Lot lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the whole circuit  of the Jordan that it [is] all a watered country (before  Jehovah's destroying Sodom and Gomorrah, as Jehovah's garden,  as the land of Egypt,) in thy coming toward Zoar, 
01O 013:011 and Lot chooseth for himself the whole circuit of the  Jordan; and Lot journeyeth from the east, and they are parted  -- a man from his companion; 
01O 013:012 Abram hath dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot hath dwelt  in the cities of the circuit, and tenteth unto Sodom; 
01O 013:013 and the men of Sodom [are] evil, and sinners before  Jehovah exceedingly. 
01O 013:014 And Jehovah said unto Abram, after Lot's being parted from  him, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and look from the place  where thou [art], northward, and southward, and eastward, and  westward; 
01O 013:015 for the whole of the land which thou are seeing, to thee I  give it, and to thy seed -- to the age. 
01O 013:016 And I have set thy seed as dust of the earth, so that, if  one is able to number the dust of the earth, even thy seed is  numbered; 
01O 013:017 rise, go up and down through the land, to its length, and  to its breadth, for to thee I give it.' 
01O 013:018 And Abram tenteth, and cometh, and dwelleth among the oaks  of Mamre, which [are] in Hebron, and buildeth there an altar to  Jehovah. 
01O 014:001 And it cometh to pass in the days of Amraphel king of  Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and  Tidal king of Goyim, 
01O 014:002 they have made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha  king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of  Zeboim, and the king of Bela, which [is] Zoar. 
01O 014:003 All these have been joined together unto the valley of  Siddim, which [is] the Salt Sea; 
01O 014:004 twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and the thirteenth  year they rebelled. 
01O 014:005 And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings  who [are] with him, and they smite the Rephaim in Ashteroth  Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh  Kiriathaim, 
01O 014:006 and the Horites in their mount Seir, unto El-Paran, which  [is] by the wilderness; 
01O 014:007 and they turn back and come in unto En-Mishpat, which [is]  Kadesh, and smite the whole field of the Amalekite, and also  the Amorite who is dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar. 
01O 014:008 And the king of Sodom goeth out, and the king of Gomorrah,  and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboim, and the king of  Bela, which [is] Zoar; and they set the battle in array with  them in the valley of Siddim, 
01O 014:009 with Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goyim,  and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four  kings with the five. 
01O 014:010 And the valley of Siddim [is] full of bitumen-pits; and  the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah flee, and fall there, and those  left have fled to the mountain. 
01O 014:011 And they take the whole substance of Sodom and Gomorrah,  and the whole of their food, and go away; 
01O 014:012 and they take Lot, Abram's brother's son (seeing he is  dwelling in Sodom), and his substance, and go away. 
01O 014:013 And one who is escaping cometh and declareth to Abram the  Hebrew, and he is dwelling among the oaks of Mamre the Amorite,  brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner, and they [are] Abram's  allies. 
01O 014:014 And Abram heareth that his brother hath been taken  captive, and he draweth out his trained domestics, three  hundred and eighteen, and pursueth unto Dan. 
01O 014:015 And he divideth himself against them by night, he and his  servants, and smiteth them, and pursueth them unto Hobah, which  [is] at the left of Damascus; 
01O 014:016 and he bringeth back the whole of the substance, and also  Lot his brother and his substance hath he brought back, and  also the women and the people. 
01O 014:017 And the king of Sodom goeth out to meet him (after his  turning back from the smiting of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings  who [are] with him), unto the valley of Shaveh, which [is] the  king's valley. 
01O 014:018 And Melchizedek king of Salem hath brought out bread and  wine, and he [is] priest of God Most High; 
01O 014:019 and he blesseth him, and saith, `Blessed [is] Abram to God  Most High, possessing heaven and earth; 
01O 014:020 and blessed [is] God Most High, who hath delivered thine  adversaries into thy hand;' and he giveth to him a tenth of  all. 
01O 014:021 And the king of Sodom saith unto Abram, `Give to me the  persons, and the substance take to thyself,' 
01O 014:022 and Abram saith unto the king of Sodom, `I have lifted up  my hand unto Jehovah, God Most High, possessing heaven and  earth -- 
01O 014:023 from a thread even unto a shoe-latchet I take not of  anything which thou hast, that thou say not, I -- I have made  Abram rich; 
01O 014:024 save only that which the young men have eaten, and the  portion of the men who have gone with me -- Aner, Eshcol, and  Mamre -- they take their portion.' 
01O 015:001 After these things hath the word of Jehovah been unto Abram  in a vision, saying, `Fear not, Abram, I [am] a shield to thee,  thy reward [is] exceeding great.' 
01O 015:002 And Abram saith, `Lord Jehovah, what dost Thou give to me,  and I am going childless? and an acquired son in my house is  Demmesek Eliezer.' 
01O 015:003 And Abram saith, `Lo, to me Thou hast not given seed, and  lo, a domestic doth heir me.' 
01O 015:004 And lo, the word of Jehovah [is] unto him, saying, `This  [one] doth not heir thee; but he who cometh out from thy  bowels, he doth heir thee;' 
01O 015:005 and He bringeth him out without, and saith, `Look  attentively, I pray thee, towards the heavens, and count the  stars, if thou art able to count them;' and He saith to him,  `Thus is thy seed.' 
01O 015:006 And he hath believed in Jehovah, and He reckoneth it to him  -- righteousness. 
01O 015:007 And He saith unto him, `I [am] Jehovah who brought thee out  from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to thee this land to possess  it;' 
01O 015:008 and he saith, `Lord Jehovah, whereby do I know that I  possess it?' 
01O 015:009 And He saith unto him, `Take for Me a heifer of three  years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years,  and a turtle-dove, and a young bird;' 
01O 015:010 and he taketh to him all these, and separateth them in the  midst, and putteth each piece over against its fellow, but the  bird he hath not divided; 
01O 015:011 and the ravenous birds come down upon the carcases, and  Abram causeth them to turn back. 
01O 015:012 And the sun is about to go in, and deep sleep hath fallen  upon Abram, and lo, a terror of great darkness is falling upon  him; 
01O 015:013 and He saith to Abram, `knowing -- know that thy seed is a  sojourner in a land not theirs, and they have served them, and  they have afflicted them four hundred years, 
01O 015:014 and the nation also whom they serve I judge, and after  this they go out with great substance; 
01O 015:015 and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou  art buried in a good old age; 
01O 015:016 and the fourth generation doth turn back hither, for the  iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete.' 
01O 015:017 And it cometh to pass -- the sun hath gone in, and thick  darkness hath been -- and lo, a furnace of smoke, and a lamp of  fire, which hath passed over between those pieces. 
01O 015:018 In that day hath Jehovah made with Abram a covenant,  saying, `To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of  Egypt unto the great river, the river Phrat, 
01O 015:019 with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite, 
01O 015:020 and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim, 
01O 015:021 and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite,  and the Jebusite.' 
01O 016:001 And Sarai, Abram's wife, hath not borne to him, and she  hath an handmaid, an Egyptian, and her name [is] Hagar; 
01O 016:002 and Sarai saith unto Abram, `Lo, I pray thee, Jehovah hath  restrained me from bearing, go in, I pray thee, unto my  handmaid; perhaps I am built up from her;' and Abram hearkeneth  to the voice of Sarai. 
01O 016:003 And Sarai, Abram's wife, taketh Hagar the Egyptian, her  handmaid, at the end of the tenth year of Abram's dwelling in  the land of Canaan, and giveth her to Abram her husband, to him  for a wife, 
01O 016:004 and he goeth in unto Hagar, and she conceiveth, and she  seeth that she hath conceived, and her mistress is lightly  esteemed in her eyes. 
01O 016:005 And Sarai saith unto Abram, `My violence [is] for thee; I  -- I have given mine handmaid into thy bosom, and she seeth  that she hath conceived, and I am lightly esteemed in her eyes;  Jehovah doth judge between me and thee.' 
01O 016:006 And Abram saith unto Sarai, `Lo, thine handmaid [is] in  thine hand, do to her that which is good in thine eyes;' and  Sarai afflicted her, and she fleeth from her presence. 
01O 016:007 And a messenger of Jehovah findeth her by the fountain of  water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way [to] Shur, 
01O 016:008 and he saith, `Hagar, Sarai's handmaid, whence hast thou  come, and whither dost thou go?' and she saith, `From the  presence of Sarai, my mistress, I am fleeing.' 
01O 016:009 And the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Turn back unto  thy mistress, and humble thyself under her hands;' 
01O 016:010 and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Multiplying I  multiply thy seed, and it is not numbered from multitude;' 
01O 016:011 and the messenger of Jehovah saith to her, `Behold thou  [art] conceiving, and bearing a son, and hast called his name  Ishmael, for Jehovah hath hearkened unto thine affliction; 
01O 016:012 and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and  every one's hand against him -- and before the face of all his  brethren he dwelleth.' 
01O 016:013 And she calleth the name of Jehovah who is speaking unto  her, `Thou [art], O God, my beholder;' for she said, `Even here  have I looked behind my beholder?' 
01O 016:014 therefore hath one called the well, `The well of the  Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered. 
01O 016:015 And Hagar beareth to Abram a son; and Abram calleth the  name of his son, whom Hagar hath borne, Ishmael; 
01O 016:016 and Abram [is] a son of eighty and six years in Hagar's  bearing Ishmael to Abram. 
01O 017:001 And Abram is a son of ninety and nine years, and Jehovah  appeareth unto Abram, and saith unto him, `I [am] God Almighty,  walk habitually before Me, and be thou perfect; 
01O 017:002 and I give My covenant between Me and thee, and multiply  thee very exceedingly.' 
01O 017:003 And Abram falleth upon his face, and God speaketh with him,  saying, 
01O 017:004 `I -- lo, My covenant [is] with thee, and thou hast become  father of a multitude of nations; 
01O 017:005 and thy name is no more called Abram, but thy name hath  been Abraham, for father of a multitude of nations have I made  thee; 
01O 017:006 and I have made thee exceeding fruitful, and made thee  become nations, and kings go out from thee. 
01O 017:007 `And I have established My covenant between Me and thee,  and thy seed after thee, to their generations, for a covenant  age-during, to become God to thee, and to thy seed after thee; 
01O 017:008 and I have given to thee, and to thy seed after thee, the  land of thy sojournings, the whole land of Canaan, for a  possession age-during, and I have become their God.' 
01O 017:009 And God saith unto Abraham, `And thou dost keep My  covenant, thou and thy seed after thee, to their generations; 
01O 017:010 this [is] My covenant which ye keep between Me and you,  and thy seed after thee: Every male of you [is] to be  circumcised; 
01O 017:011 and ye have circumcised the flesh of your foreskin, and it  hath become a token of a covenant between Me and you. 
01O 017:012 `And a son of eight days is circumcised by you; every male  to your generations, born in the house, or bought with money  from any son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed; 
01O 017:013 he is certainly circumcised who [is] born in thine house,  or bought with thy money; and My covenant hath become in your  flesh a covenant age-during; 
01O 017:014 and an uncircumcised one, a male, the flesh of whose  foreskin is not circumcised, even that person hath been cut off  from his people; My covenant he hath broken.' 
01O 017:015 And God saith unto Abraham, `Sarai thy wife -- thou dost  not call her name Sarai, for Sarah [is] her name; 
01O 017:016 and I have blessed her, and have also given to thee a son  from her; and I have blessed her, and she hath become  nations -- kings of peoples are from her.' 
01O 017:017 And Abraham falleth upon his face, and laugheth, and saith  in his heart, `To the son of an hundred years is one born? or  doth Sarah -- daughter of ninety years -- bear?' 
01O 017:018 And Abraham saith unto God, `O that Ishmael may live  before Thee;' 
01O 017:019 and God saith, `Sarah thy wife is certainly bearing a son  to thee, and thou hast called his name Isaac, and I have  established My covenant with him, for a covenant age-during, to  his seed after him. 
01O 017:020 As to Ishmael, I have heard thee; lo, I have blessed him,  and made him fruitful, and multiplied him, very exceedingly;  twelve princes doth he beget, and I have made him become a  great nation; 
01O 017:021 and My covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah doth  bear to thee at this appointed time in the next year;' 
01O 017:022 and He finisheth speaking with him, and God goeth up from  Abraham. 
01O 017:023 And Abraham taketh Ishmael his son, and all those born in  his house, and all those bought with his money -- every male  among the men of Abraham's house -- and circumciseth the flesh  of their foreskin, in this self-same day, as God hath spoken  with him. 
01O 017:024 And Abraham [is] a son of ninety and nine years in the  flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; 
01O 017:025 and Ishmael his son [is] a son of thirteen years in the  flesh of his foreskin being circumcised; 
01O 017:026 in this self-same day hath Abraham been circumcised, and  Ishmael his son; 
01O 017:027 and all the men of his house -- born in the house, and  bought with money from the son of a stranger -- have been  circumcised with him. 
01O 018:001 And Jehovah appeareth unto him among the oaks of Mamre, and  he is sitting at the opening of the tent, about the heat of the  day; 
01O 018:002 and he lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, three men  standing by him, and he seeth, and runneth to meet them from  the opening of the tent, and boweth himself towards the earth, 
01O 018:003 And he saith, `My Lord, if, I pray thee, I have found grace  in thine eyes, do not, I pray thee, pass on from thy servant; 
01O 018:004 let, I pray thee, a little water be accepted, and wash your  feet, and recline under the tree; 
01O 018:005 and I bring a piece of bread, and support ye your heart;  afterwards pass on, for therefore have ye passed over unto your  servant;' and they say, `So mayest thou do as thou has spoken.' 
01O 018:006 And Abraham hasteth towards the tent, unto Sarah, and  saith, `Hasten three measures of flour-meal, knead, and make  cakes;' 
01O 018:007 and Abraham ran unto the herd, and taketh a son of the  herd, tender and good, and giveth unto the young man, and he  hasteth to prepare it; 
01O 018:008 and he taketh butter and milk, and the son of the herd  which he hath prepared, and setteth before them; and he is  standing by them under the tree, and they do eat. 
01O 018:009 And they say unto him, `Where [is] Sarah thy wife?' and he  saith, `Lo -- in the tent;' 
01O 018:010 and he saith, `returning I return unto thee, about the  time of life, and lo, to Sarah thy wife a son.' 
01O 018:011 And Sarah is hearkening at the opening of the tent, which  is behind him; 
01O 018:012 and Abraham and Sarah [are] aged, entering into days --  the way of women hath ceased to be to Sarah; 
01O 018:013 and Sarah laugheth in her heart, saying, `After I have  waxed old I have had pleasure! -- my lord also [is] old!' 
01O 018:014 And Jehovah saith unto Abraham, `Why [is] this? Sarah hath  laughed, saying, Is it true really -- I bear -- and I am aged?  Is any thing too wonderful for Jehovah? at the appointed time I  return unto thee, about the time of life, and Sarah hath a  son.' 
01O 018:015 And Sarah denieth, saying, `I did not laugh;' for she hath  been afraid; and He saith, `Nay, but thou didst laugh.' 
01O 018:016 And the men rise from thence, and look on the face of  Sodom, and Abraham is going with them to send them away; 
01O 018:017 and Jehovah said, `Am I concealing from Abraham that which  I am doing, 
01O 018:018 and Abraham certainly becometh a nation great and mighty,  and blessed in him have been all nations of the earth? 
01O 018:019 for I have known him, that he commandeth his children, and  his house after him (and they have kept the way of Jehovah), to  do righteousness and judgment, that Jehovah may bring on  Abraham that which He hath spoken concerning him.' 
01O 018:020 And Jehovah saith, `The cry of Sodom and Gomorrah --  because great; and their sin -- because exceeding grievous: 
01O 018:021 I go down now, and see whether according to its cry which  is coming unto Me they have done completely -- and if not -- I  know;' 
01O 018:022 and the men turn from thence, and go towards Sodom; and  Abraham is yet standing before Jehovah. 
01O 018:023 And Abraham draweth nigh and saith, `Dost Thou also  consume righteous with wicked? 
01O 018:024 peradventure there are fifty righteous in the midst of the  city; dost Thou also consume, and not bear with the place for  the sake of the fifty -- the righteous who [are] in its midst? 
01O 018:025 Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put  to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been -- as  the righteous so the wicked -- far be it from Thee; doth the  Judge of all the earth not do justice?' 
01O 018:026 And Jehovah saith, `If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in  the midst of the city, then have I borne with all the place for  their sake.' 
01O 018:027 And Abraham answereth and saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have  willed to speak unto the Lord, and I -- dust and ashes; 
01O 018:028 peradventure there are lacking five of the fifty righteous  -- dost Thou destroy for five the whole of the city?'  and He saith, `I destroy [it] not, if I find there forty and  five.' 
01O 018:029 And he addeth again to speak unto Him and saith,  `Peradventure there are found there forty?' and He saith, `I do  [it] not, because of the forty.' 
01O 018:030 And he saith, `Let it not be, I Pray thee, displeasing to  the Lord, and I speak: peradventure there are found there  thirty?' and He saith, `I do [it] not, if I find there thirty.' 
01O 018:031 And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have willed to speak  unto the Lord: peradventure there are found there twenty?' and  He saith, `I do not destroy [it], because of the twenty.' 
01O 018:032 And he saith, `Let it not be, I pray Thee, displeasing to  the Lord, and I speak only this time: peradventure there are  found there ten?' and He saith, `I do not destroy [it], because  of the ten.' 
01O 018:033 And Jehovah goeth on, when He hath finished speaking unto  Abraham, and Abraham hath turned back to his place. 
01O 019:001 And two of the messengers come towards Sodom at even, and  Lot is sitting at the gate of Sodom, and Lot seeth, and riseth  to meet them, and boweth himself -- face to the earth, 
01O 019:002 and he saith, `Lo, I pray you, my lords, turn aside, I pray  you, unto the house of your servant, and lodge, and wash your  feet -- then ye have risen early and gone on your way;' and  they say, `Nay, but in the broad place we do lodge.' 
01O 019:003 And he presseth on them greatly, and they turn aside unto  him, and come in unto his house; and he maketh for them a  banquet, and hath baked unleavened things; and they do eat. 
01O 019:004 Before they lie down, the men of the city -- men of Sodom  -- have come round about against the house, from young even  unto aged, all the people from the extremity; 
01O 019:005 and they call unto Lot and say to him, `Where [are] the men  who have come in unto thee to-night? bring them out unto us,  and we know them.' 
01O 019:006 And Lot goeth out unto them, to the opening, and the door  hath shut behind him, 
01O 019:007 and saith, `Do not, I pray you, my brethren, do evil; 
01O 019:008 lo, I pray you, I have two daughters, who have not known  any one; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do to  them as [is] good in your eyes; only to these men do not  anything, for therefore have they come in within the shadow of  my roof.' 
01O 019:009 And they say, `Come nigh hither;' they say also, `This one  hath come in to sojourn, and he certainly judgeth! now, we do  evil to thee more than [to] them;' and they press against the  man, against Lot greatly, and come nigh to break the door. 
01O 019:010 And the men put forth their hand, and bring in Lot unto  them, into the house, and have shut the door; 
01O 019:011 and the men who [are] at the opening of the house they  have smitten with blindness, from small even unto great, and  they weary themselves to find the opening. 
01O 019:012 And the men say unto Lot, `Whom hast thou here still?  son-in-law, thy sons also, and thy daughters, and all whom thou  hast in the city, bring out from this place; 
01O 019:013 for we are destroying this place, for their cry hath been  great [before] the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah doth send us to  destroy it.' 
01O 019:014 And Lot goeth out, and speaketh unto his sons-in-law,  those taking his daughters, and saith, `Rise, go out from this  place, for Jehovah is destroying the city;' and he is as [one]  mocking in the eyes of his sons-in-law. 
01O 019:015 And when the dawn hath ascended, then the messengers press  upon Lot, saying, `Rise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters  who are found present, lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of  the city.' 
01O 019:016 And he lingereth, and the men lay hold on his hand, and on  the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters,  through the mercy of Jehovah unto him, and they bring him out,  and cause him to rest without the city. 
01O 019:017 And it cometh to pass when he hath brought them out  without, that he saith, `Escape for thy life; look not  expectingly behind thee, nor stand thou in all the circuit; to  the mountain escape, lest thou be consumed.' 
01O 019:018 And Lot saith unto them, `Not [so], I pray thee, my lord; 
01O 019:019 lo, I pray thee, thy servant hath found grace in thine  eyes, and thou dost make great thy kindness which thou hast  done with me by saving my life, and I am unable to escape to  the mountain, lest the evil cleave [to] me, and I have died; 
01O 019:020 lo, I pray thee, this city [is] near to flee thither, and  it [is] little; let me escape, I pray thee, thither, (is it not  little?) and my soul doth live.' 
01O 019:021 And he saith unto him, `Lo, I have accepted thy face also  for this thing, without overthrowing the city [for] which thou  hast spoken; 
01O 019:022 haste, escape thither, for I am not able to do anything  till thine entering thither;' therefore hath he calleth the  name of the city Zoar. 
01O 019:023 The sun hath gone out on the earth, and Lot hath entered  into Zoar, 
01O 019:024 and Jehovah hath rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah  brimstone and fire from Jehovah, from the heavens; 
01O 019:025 and He overthroweth these cities, and all the circuit, and  all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which is shooting  up from the ground. 
01O 019:026 And his wife looketh expectingly from behind him, and she  is -- a pillar of salt! 
01O 019:027 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, unto the place  where he hath stood [before] the face of Jehovah; 
01O 019:028 and he looketh on the face of Sodom and Gomorrah, and on  all the face of the land of the circuit, and seeth, and lo, the  smoke of the land went up as smoke of the furnace. 
01O 019:029 And it cometh to pass, in God's destroying the cities of  the circuit, that God remembereth Abraham, and sendeth Lot out  of the midst of the overthrow in the overthrowing of the cities  in which Lot dwelt. 
01O 019:030 And Lot goeth up out of Zoar, and dwelleth in the  mountain, and his two daughters with him, for he hath been  afraid of dwelling in Zoar, and he dwelleth in a cave, he and  his two daughters. 
01O 019:031 And the first-born saith unto the younger, `Our father  [is] old, and a man there is not in the earth to come in unto  us, as [is] the way of all the earth; 
01O 019:032 come, we cause our father to drink wine, and lie with him,  and preserve from our father -- a seed.' 
01O 019:033 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night;  and the first-born goeth in, and lieth with her father, and he  hath not known in her lying down, or in her rising up. 
01O 019:034 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the first-born  saith unto the younger, `Lo, I have lain yesterday-night with  my father: we cause him to drink wine also to-night, and go  thou in, lie with him, and we preserve from our father -- a  seed.' 
01O 019:035 And they cause their father to drink wine on that night  also, and the younger riseth and lieth with him, and he hath  not known in her lying down, or in her rising up. 
01O 019:036 And the two daughters of Lot conceive from their father, 
01O 019:037 and the first-born beareth a son, and calleth his name  Moab; he [is] father of Moab unto this day; 
01O 019:038 as to the younger, she also hath born a son, and calleth  his name Ben-Ammi: he [is] father of the Beni-Ammon unto this  day. 
01O 020:001 And Abraham journeyeth from thence toward the land of the  south, and dwelleth between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourneth in  Gerar; 
01O 020:002 and Abraham saith concerning Sarah his wife, `She is my  sister;' and Abimelech king of Gerar sendeth and taketh Sarah. 
01O 020:003 And God cometh in unto Abimelech in a dream of the night,  and saith to him, `Lo, thou [art] a dead man, because of the  woman whom thou hast taken -- and she married to a husband.' 
01O 020:004 And Abimelech hath not drawn near unto her, and he saith,  `Lord, also a righteous nation dost thou slay? 
01O 020:005 hath not he himself said to me, She [is] my sister! and  she, even she herself, said, He [is] my brother; in the  integrity of my heart, and in the innocency of my hands, I have  done this.' 
01O 020:006 And God saith unto him in the dream, `Yea, I -- I have  known that in the integrity of thy heart thou hast done this,  and I withhold thee, even I, from sinning against Me, therefore  I have not suffered thee to come against her; 
01O 020:007 and now send back the man's wife, for he [is] inspired, and  he doth pray for thee, and live thou; and if thou do not send  back, know that dying thou dost die, thou, and all that thou  hast.' 
01O 020:008 And Abimelech riseth early in the morning, and calleth for  all his servants, and speaketh all these words in their ears;  and the men fear exceedingly; 
01O 020:009 and Abimelech calleth for Abraham, and saith to him, `What  hast thou done to us? and what have I sinned against thee, that  thou hast brought upon me, and upon my kingdom, a great sin?  works which are not done thou hast done with me.' 
01O 020:010 Abimelech also saith unto Abraham, `What hast thou seen  that thou hast done this thing?' 
01O 020:011 And Abraham saith, `Because I said, `Surely the fear of  God is not in this place, and they have slain me for the sake  of my wife; 
01O 020:012 and also, truly she is my sister, daughter of my father,  only not daughter of my mother, and she becometh my wife; 
01O 020:013 and it cometh to pass, when God hath caused me to wander  from my father's house, that I say to her, This [is] thy  kindness which thou dost with me: at every place whither we  come, say of me, He [is] my brother.' 
01O 020:014 And Abimelech taketh sheep and oxen, and servants and  handmaids, and giveth to Abraham, and sendeth back to him Sarah  his wife; 
01O 020:015 and Abimelech saith, `Lo, my land [is] before thee, where  it is good in thine eyes, dwell;' 
01O 020:016 and to Sarah he hath said, `Lo, I have given a thousand  silverlings to thy brother; lo, it is to thee a covering of  eyes, to all who are with thee;' and by all this she is  reasoned with. 
01O 020:017 And Abraham prayeth unto God, and God healeth Abimelech  and his wife, and his handmaids, and they bear: 
01O 020:018 for Jehovah restraining had restrained every womb of the  house of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. 
01O 021:001 And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and  Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken; 
01O 021:002 and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his  old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with  him; 
01O 021:003 and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him,  whom Sarah hath born to him -- Isaac; 
01O 021:004 and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of  eight days, as God hath commanded him. 
01O 021:005 And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son  being born to him, 
01O 021:006 and Sarah saith, `God hath made laughter for me; every one  who is hearing laugheth for me.' 
01O 021:007 She saith also, `Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath  suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?' 
01O 021:008 And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a  great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned; 
01O 021:009 and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she  hath borne to Abraham, mocking, 
01O 021:010 and she saith to Abraham, `Cast out this handmaid and her  son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my  son -- with Isaac.' 
01O 021:011 And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for  his son's sake; 
01O 021:012 and God saith unto Abraham, `Let it not be wrong in thine  eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all  that Sarah saith unto thee -- hearken to her voice, for in  Isaac is a seed called to thee. 
01O 021:013 As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set  him, because he [is] thy seed.' 
01O 021:014 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread,  and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on  her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth  on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba; 
01O 021:015 and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth  the lad under one of the shrubs. 
01O 021:016 And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar  off, about a bow-shot, for she said, `Let me not look on the  death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up  her voice, and weepeth. 
01O 021:017 And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger  of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her,  `What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the  voice of the youth where he [is]; 
01O 021:018 rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy  hand, for for a great nation I set him.' 
01O 021:019 And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water,  and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth  the youth to drink; 
01O 021:020 and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in  the wilderness, and is an archer; 
01O 021:021 and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother  taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt. 
01O 021:022 And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh  -- Phichol also, head of his host -- unto Abraham, saying, `God  [is] with thee in all that thou art doing; 
01O 021:023 and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me,  or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the  kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and  with the land in which thou hast sojourned.' 
01O 021:024 And Abraham saith, `I -- I do swear.' 
01O 021:025 And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter  of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken  violently away, 
01O 021:026 and Abimelech saith, `I have not known who hath done this  thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I  have not heard save to-day.' 
01O 021:027 And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to  Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant; 
01O 021:028 and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by  themselves. 
01O 021:029 And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, `What [are] they --  these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?' 
01O 021:030 And he saith, `For -- the seven lambs thou dost accept  from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have  digged this well;' 
01O 021:031 therefore hath he called that place `Beer-Sheba,' for  there have both of them sworn. 
01O 021:032 And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech  riseth -- Phichol also, head of his host -- and they turn back  unto the land of the Philistines; 
01O 021:033 and [Abraham] planteth a tamarask in Beer-Sheba, and  preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during; 
01O 021:034 and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many  days. 
01O 022:001 And it cometh to pass after these things that God hath  tried Abraham, and saith unto him, `Abraham;' and he saith,  `Here [am] I.' 
01O 022:002 And He saith, `Take, I pray thee, thy son, thine only one,  whom thou hast loved, even Isaac, and go for thyself unto the  land of Moriah, and cause him to ascend there for a  burnt-offering on one of the mountains of which I speak unto  thee.' 
01O 022:003 And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and saddleth his  ass, and taketh two of his young men with him, and Isaac his  son, and he cleaveth the wood of the burnt-offering, and riseth  and goeth unto the place of which God hath spoken to him. 
01O 022:004 On the third day -- Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and seeth  the place from afar; 
01O 022:005 and Abraham saith unto his young men, `Remain by yourselves  here with the ass, and I and the youth go yonder and worship,  and turn back unto you.' 
01O 022:006 And Abraham taketh the wood of the burnt-offering, and  placeth on Isaac his son, and he taketh in his hand the fire,  and the knife; and they go on both of them together. 
01O 022:007 And Isaac speaketh unto Abraham his father, and saith, `My  father,' and he saith, `Here [am] I, my son.' And he saith,  `Lo, the fire and the wood, and where the lamb for a  burnt-offering?' 
01O 022:008 and Abraham saith, `God doth provide for Himself the lamb  for a burnt-offering, my son;' and they go on both of them  together. 
01O 022:009 And they come in unto the place of which God hath spoken to  him, and there Abraham buildeth the altar, and arrangeth the  wood, and bindeth Isaac his son, and placeth him upon the altar  above the wood; 
01O 022:010 and Abraham putteth forth his hand, and taketh the knife  -- to slaughter his son. 
01O 022:011 And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto him from the  heavens, and saith, `Abraham, Abraham;' and he saith, `Here  [am] I;' 
01O 022:012 and He saith, `Put not forth thine hand unto the youth,  nor do anything to him, for now I have known that thou art  fearing God, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only one,  from Me.' 
01O 022:013 And Abraham lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a  ram behind, seized in a thicket by its horns; and Abraham  goeth, and taketh the ram, and causeth it to ascend for a  burnt-offering instead of his son; 
01O 022:014 and Abraham calleth the name of that place  `Jehovah-Jireh,' because it is said this day in the mount,  `Jehovah doth provide.' 
01O 022:015 And the messenger of Jehovah calleth unto Abraham a second  time from the heavens, 
01O 022:016 and saith, `By Myself I have sworn -- the affirmation of  Jehovah -- that because thou hast done this thing, and hast not  withheld thy son, thine only one -- 
01O 022:017 that blessing I bless thee, and multiplying I multiply thy  seed as stars of the heavens, and as sand which [is] on the  sea-shore; and thy seed doth possess the gate of his enemies; 
01O 022:018 and blessed themselves in thy seed have all nations of the  earth, because that thou hast hearkened to My voice.' 
01O 022:019 And Abraham turneth back unto his young men, and they rise  and go together unto Beer-Sheba; and Abraham dwelleth in  Beer-Sheba. 
01O 022:020 And it cometh to pass after these things that it is  declared to Abraham, saying, `Lo, Milcah hath borne, even she,  sons to Nahor thy brother: 
01O 022:021 Huz his first-born, and Buz his brother; and Kemuel father  of Aram, 
01O 022:022 and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and  Bethuel; 
01O 022:023 and Bethuel hath begotten Rebekah;' these eight hath  Milcah borne to Nahor, Abraham's brother; 
01O 022:024 and his concubine, whose name [is] Reumah, she also hath  borne Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maachah. 
01O 023:001 And the life of Sarah is a hundred and twenty and seven  years -- years of the life of Sarah; 
01O 023:002 and Sarah dieth in Kirjath-Arba, which [is] Hebron, in the  land of Caanan, and Abraham goeth in to mourn for Sarah, and to  bewail her. 
01O 023:003 And Abraham riseth up from the presence of his dead, and  speaketh unto the sons of Heth, saying, 
01O 023:004 `A sojourner and a settler I [am] with you; give to me a  possession of a burying-place with you, and I bury my dead from  before me.' 
01O 023:005 And the sons of Heth answer Abraham, saying to him, 
01O 023:006 `Hear us, my lord; a prince of God [art] thou in our midst;  in the choice of our burying-places bury thy dead: none of us  his burying-place doth withhold from thee, from burying thy  dead.' 
01O 023:007 And Abraham riseth and boweth himself to the people of the  land, to the sons of Heth, 
01O 023:008 and he speaketh with them, saying, `If it is your desire to  bury my dead from before me, hear me, and meet for me with  Ephron, son of Zoar; 
01O 023:009 and he giveth to me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath,  which [is] in the extremity of his field; for full money doth  he give it to me, in your midst, for a possession of a  burying-place.' 
01O 023:010 And Ephron is sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth,  and Ephron the Hittite answereth Abraham in the ears of the  sons of Heth, of all those entering the gate of his city,  saying, 
01O 023:011 `Nay, my lord, hear me: the field I have given to thee,  and the cave that [is] in it, to thee I have given it; before  the eyes of the sons of my people I have given it to thee --  bury thy dead.' 
01O 023:012 And Abraham boweth himself before the people of the land, 
01O 023:013 and speaketh unto Ephron in the ears of the people of the  land, saying, `Only -- if thou wouldst hear me -- I have given  the money of the field -- accept from me, and I bury my dead  there.' 
01O 023:014 And Ephron answereth Abraham, saying to him, 
01O 023:015 `My lord, hear me: the land -- four hundred shekels of  silver; between me and thee, what [is] it? -- thy dead bury.' 
01O 023:016 And Abraham hearkeneth unto Ephron, and Abraham weigheth  to Ephron the silver which he hath spoken of in the ears of the  sons of Heth, four hundred silver shekels, passing with the  merchant. 
01O 023:017 And established are the field of Ephron, which [is] in  Machpelah, which [is] before Mamre, the field and the cave  which [is] in it, and all the trees which [are] in the field,  which [are] in all its border round about, 
01O 023:018 to Abraham by purchase, before the eyes of the sons of  Heth, among all entering the gate of his city. 
01O 023:019 And after this hath Abraham buried Sarah his wife at the  cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre (which [is]  Hebron), in the land of Canaan; 
01O 023:020 and established are the field, and the cave which [is] in  it, to Abraham for a possession of a burying-place, from the  sons of Heth. 
01O 024:001 And Abraham [is] old, he hath entered into days, and  Jehovah hath blessed Abraham in all [things]; 
01O 024:002 and Abraham saith unto his servant, the eldest of his  house, who is ruling over all that he hath, `Put, I pray thee,  thy hand under my thigh, 
01O 024:003 and I cause thee to swear by Jehovah, God of the heavens,  and God of the earth, that thou dost not take a wife for my son  from the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I am  dwelling; 
01O 024:004 but unto my land and unto my kindred dost thou go, and hast  taken a wife for my son, for Isaac.' 
01O 024:005 And the servant saith unto him, `It may be the woman is not  willing to come after me unto this land; do I at all cause thy  son to turn back unto the land from whence thou camest out?' 
01O 024:006 And Abraham saith unto him, `Take heed to thyself, lest  thou cause my son to turn back thither; 
01O 024:007 Jehovah, God of the heavens, who hath taken me from the  house of my father, and from the land of my birth, and who hath  spoken to me, and who hath sworn to me, saying, To thy seed I  give this land, He doth send His messenger before thee, and  thou hast taken a wife for my son from thence; 
01O 024:008 and if the woman be not willing to come after thee, then  thou hast been acquitted from this mine oath: only my son thou  dost not cause to turn back thither.' 
01O 024:009 And the servant putteth his hand under the thigh of Abraham  his lord, and sweareth to him concerning this matter. 
01O 024:010 And the servant taketh ten camels of the camels of his  lord and goeth, also of all the goods of his lord in his hand,  and he riseth, and goeth unto Aram-Naharaim, unto the city of  Nahor; 
01O 024:011 and he causeth the camels to kneel at the outside of the  city, at the well of water, at even-time, at the time of the  coming out of the women who draw water. 
01O 024:012 And he saith, `Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, cause to  meet, I pray Thee, before me this day -- (and do kindness with  my lord Abraham; 
01O 024:013 lo, I am standing by the fountain of water, and daughters  of the men of the city are coming out to draw water; 
01O 024:014 and it hath been, the young person unto whom I say,  Incline, I pray thee, thy pitcher, and I drink, and she hath  said, Drink, and I water also thy camels) -- her Thou hast  decided for Thy servant, for Isaac; and by it I know that Thou  hast done kindness with my lord.' 
01O 024:015 And it cometh to pass, before he hath finished speaking,  that lo, Rebekah (who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, wife  of Nahor, brother of Abraham) is coming out, and her pitcher on  her shoulder, 
01O 024:016 and the young person [is] of very good appearance, a  virgin, and a man hath not known her; and she goeth down to the  fountain, and filleth her pitcher, and cometh up. 
01O 024:017 And the servant runneth to meet her, and saith, `Let me  swallow, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher;' 
01O 024:018 and she saith, `Drink, my lord;' and she hasteth, and  letteth down her pitcher upon her hand, and giveth him drink. 
01O 024:019 And she finisheth giving him drink, and saith, `Also for  thy camels I draw till they have finished drinking;' 
01O 024:020 and she hasteth, and emptieth her pitcher into the  drinking-trough, and runneth again unto the well to draw, and  draweth for all his camels. 
01O 024:021 And the man, wondering at her, remaineth silent, to know  whether Jehovah hath made his way prosperous or not. 
01O 024:022 And it cometh to pass when the camels have finished  drinking, that the man taketh a golden ring (whose weight [is]  a bekah), and two bracelets for her hands (whose weight [is]  ten [bekahs] of gold), 
01O 024:023 and saith, `Whose daughter [art] thou? declare to me, I  pray thee, is the house of thy father a place for us to lodge  in?' 
01O 024:024 And she saith unto him, `I [am] daughter of Bethuel, son  of Milcah, whom she hath borne to Nahor.' 
01O 024:025 She saith also unto him, `Both straw and provender [are]  abundant with us, also a place to lodge in.' 
01O 024:026 And the man boweth, and doth obeisance to Jehovah, 
01O 024:027 and saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham,  who hath not left off His kindness and His truth with my lord;  -- I [being] in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my  lord's brethren.' 
01O 024:028 And the young person runneth, and declareth to the house  of her mother according to these words. 
01O 024:029 And Rebekah hath a brother, and his name [is] Laban, and  Laban runneth unto the man who [is] without, unto the fountain; 
01O 024:030 yea, it cometh to pass, when he seeth the ring, and the  bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heareth the  words of Rebekah his sister, saying, `Thus hath the man spoken  unto me,' that he cometh in unto the man, and lo, he is  standing by the camels by the fountain. 
01O 024:031 And he saith, `Come in, O blessed one of Jehovah, why  standest thou without, and I -- I have prepared the house and  place for the camels!' 
01O 024:032 And he bringeth in the man into the house, and looseth the  camels, and giveth straw and provender for the camels, and  water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men who [are] with  him: 
01O 024:033 and setteth before him to eat; but he saith, `I do not eat  till I have spoken my word;' and he saith, `Speak.' 
01O 024:034 And he saith, `I [am] Abraham's servant; 
01O 024:035 and Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and he is  great; and He giveth to him flock, and herd, and silver, and  gold, and men-servants, and maid-servants, and camels, and  asses; 
01O 024:036 and Sarah, my lord's wife, beareth a son to my lord, after  she hath been aged, and he giveth to him all that he hath. 
01O 024:037 `And my lord causeth me to swear, saying, Thou dost not  take a wife to my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in  whose land I am dwelling. 
01O 024:038 If not -- unto the house of my father thou dost go, and  unto my family, and thou hast taken a wife for my son. 
01O 024:039 `And I say unto my lord, It may be the woman doth not come  after me; 
01O 024:040 and he saith unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked  habitually, doth send His messenger with thee, and hath  prospered thy way, and thou hast taken a wife for my son from  my family, and from the house of my father; 
01O 024:041 then art thou acquitted from my oath, when thou comest  unto my family, and if they give not [one] to thee; then thou  hast been acquitted from my oath. 
01O 024:042 `And I come to-day unto the fountain, and I say, Jehovah,  God of my lord Abraham, if Thou art, I pray Thee, making  prosperous my way in which I am going -- 
01O 024:043 (lo, I am standing by the fountain of water), then the  virgin who is coming out to draw, and I have said unto her,  Let me drink, I pray thee, a little water from thy pitcher, 
01O 024:044 and she hath said unto me, Both drink thou, and also for  thy camels I draw -- she is the woman whom Jehovah hath decided  for my lord's son. 
01O 024:045 `Before I finish speaking unto my heart, then lo, Rebekah  is coming out, and her pitcher on her shoulder, and she goeth  down to the fountain, and draweth; and I say unto her, Let me  drink, I pray thee, 
01O 024:046 and she hasteth and letteth down her pitcher from off her  and saith, Drink, and thy camels also I water; and I drink, and  the camels also she hath watered. 
01O 024:047 `And I ask her, and say, Whose daughter [art] thou? and  she saith, Daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah hath  borne to him, and I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets  on her hands, 
01O 024:048 and I bow, and do obeisance before Jehovah, and I bless  Jehovah, God of my lord Abraham, who hath led me in the true  way to receive the daughter of my lord's brother for his son. 
01O 024:049 `And now, if ye are dealing kindly and truly with my lord,  declare to me; and if not, declare to me; and I turn unto the  right or unto the left.' 
01O 024:050 And Laban answereth -- Bethuel also -- and they say, `The  thing hath gone out from Jehovah; we are not able to speak unto  thee bad or good; 
01O 024:051 lo, Rebekah [is] before thee, take and go, and she is a  wife to thy lord's son, as Jehovah hath spoken.' 
01O 024:052 And it cometh to pass, when the servant of Abraham hath  heard their words, that he boweth himself towards the earth  before Jehovah; 
01O 024:053 and the servant taketh out vessels of silver, and vessels  of gold, and garments, and giveth to Rebekah; precious things  also he hath given to her brother and to her mother. 
01O 024:054 And they eat and drink, he and the men who [are] with him,  and lodge all night; and they rise in the morning, and he  saith, `Send me to my lord;' 
01O 024:055 and her brother saith -- her mother also -- `Let the young  person abide with us a week or ten days, afterwards doth she  go.' 
01O 024:056 And he saith unto them, `Do not delay me, seeing Jehovah  hath prospered my way; send me away, and I go to my lord;' 
01O 024:057 and they say, `Let us call for the young person, and ask  at her mouth;' 
01O 024:058 and they call for Rebekah, and say unto her, `Dost thou go  with this man?' and she saith, `I go.' 
01O 024:059 And they send away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse,  and Abraham's servant, and his men; 
01O 024:060 and they bless Rebekah, and say to her, `Thou [art] our  sister; become thou thousands of myriads, and thy seed doth  possess the gate of those hating it.' 
01O 024:061 And Rebekah and her young women arise, and ride on the  camels, and go after the man; and the servant taketh Rebekah  and goeth. 
01O 024:062 And Isaac hath come in from the entrance of the Well of  the Living One, my Beholder; and he is dwelling in the land of  the south, 
01O 024:063 and Isaac goeth out to meditate in the field, at the  turning of the evening, and he lifteth up his eyes, and  looketh, and lo, camels are coming. 
01O 024:064 And Rebekah lifteth up her eyes, and seeth Isaac, and  alighteth from off the camel; 
01O 024:065 and she saith unto the servant, `Who [is] this man who is  walking in the field to meet us?' and the servant saith, `It  [is] my lord;' and she taketh the veil, and covereth herself. 
01O 024:066 And the servant recounteth to Isaac all the things that he  hath done, 
01O 024:067 and Isaac bringeth her in unto the tent of Sarah his  mother, and he taketh Rebekah, and she becometh his wife, and  he loveth her, and Isaac is comforted after [the death of] his  mother. 
01O 025:001 And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife, and her name [is]  Keturah; 
01O 025:002 and she beareth to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and  Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 
01O 025:003 And Jokshan hath begotten Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of  Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim; 
01O 025:004 and the sons of Midian [are] Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch,  and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah. 
01O 025:005 And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac; 
01O 025:006 and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath,  Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his  son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country. 
01O 025:007 And these [are] the days of the years of the life of  Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years; 
01O 025:008 and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and  satisfied, and is gathered unto his people. 
01O 025:009 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of  Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite,  which [is] before Mamre -- 
01O 025:010 the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth --  there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife. 
01O 025:011 And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God  blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the  Living One, my Beholder. 
01O 025:012 And these [are] births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom  Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham; 
01O 025:013 and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their  names, according to their births: first-born of Ishmael,  Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 
01O 025:014 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 
01O 025:015 Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 
01O 025:016 these are sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their  villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to  their peoples. 
01O 025:017 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a  hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth,  and is gathered unto his people; 
01O 025:018 and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which [is]  before Egypt, in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of  all his brethren hath he fallen. 
01O 025:019 And these [are] births of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham  hath begotten Isaac; 
01O 025:020 and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah,  daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram, sister of  Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife. 
01O 025:021 And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for  she [is] barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah  his wife conceiveth, 
01O 025:022 and the children struggle together within her, and she  saith, `If [it is] right -- why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to  seek Jehovah. 
01O 025:023 And Jehovah saith to her, `Two nations [are] in thy womb,  and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one]  people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth  serve the younger.' 
01O 025:024 And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins [are] in  her womb; 
01O 025:025 and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they  call his name Esau; 
01O 025:026 and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is  taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and  Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them. 
01O 025:027 And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with]  hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man,  inhabiting tents; 
01O 025:028 and Isaac loveth Esau, for [his] hunting [is] in his  mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob. 
01O 025:029 And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the  field, and he [is] weary; 
01O 025:030 and Esau saith unto Jacob, `Let me eat, I pray thee, some  of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one]  called his name Edom [Red]; 
01O 025:031 and Jacob saith, `Sell to-day thy birthright to me.' 
01O 025:032 And Esau saith, `Lo, I am going to die, and what is this  to me -- birthright?' 
01O 025:033 and Jacob saith, `Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to  him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob; 
01O 025:034 and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of  lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth;  and Esau despiseth the birthright. 
01O 026:001 And there is a famine in the land, besides the first famine  which was in the days of Abraham, and Isaac goeth unto  Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar. 
01O 026:002 And Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith, `Go not down  towards Egypt, tabernacle in the land concerning which I speak  unto thee, 
01O 026:003 sojourn in this land, and I am with thee, and bless thee,  for to thee and to thy seed I give all these lands, and I have  established the oath which I have sworn to Abraham thy father; 
01O 026:004 and I have multiplied thy seed as stars of the heavens, and  I have given to thy seed all these lands; and blessed  themselves in thy seed have all nations of the earth; 
01O 026:005 because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and  keepeth My charge, My commands, My statutes, and My laws.' 
01O 026:006 And Isaac dwelleth in Gerar; 
01O 026:007 and men of the place ask him of his wife, and he saith,  `She [is] my sister:' for he hath been afraid to say, `My wife  -- lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, for she [is]  of good appearance.' 
01O 026:008 And it cometh to pass, when the days have been prolonged to  him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looketh  through the window, and seeth, and lo, Isaac is playing with  Rebekah his wife. 
01O 026:009 And Abimelech calleth for Isaac, and saith, `Lo, she [is]  surely thy wife; and how hast thou said, She [is] my sister?'  and Isaac saith unto him, `Because I said, Lest I die for her.' 
01O 026:010 And Abimelech saith, `What [is] this thou hast done to us?  as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and  thou hadst brought upon us guilt;' 
01O 026:011 and Abimelech commandeth all the people, saying, `He who  cometh against this man or against his wife, dying doth die.' 
01O 026:012 And Isaac soweth in that land, and findeth in that year a  hundredfold, and Jehovah blesseth him; 
01O 026:013 and the man is great, and goeth on, going on and becoming  great, till that he hath been very great, 
01O 026:014 and he hath possession of a flock, and possession of a  herd, and an abundant service; and the Philistines envy him, 
01O 026:015 and all the wells which his father's servants digged in  the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines have stopped  them, and fill them with dust. 
01O 026:016 And Abimelech saith unto Isaac, `Go from us; for thou hast  become much mightier than we;' 
01O 026:017 and Isaac goeth from thence, and encampeth in the valley  of Gerar, and dwelleth there; 
01O 026:018 and Isaac turneth back, and diggeth the wells of water  which they digged in the days of Abraham his father, which the  Philistines do stop after the death of Abraham, and he calleth  to them names according to the names which his father called  them. 
01O 026:019 And Isaac's servants dig in the valley, and find there a  well of living water, 
01O 026:020 and shepherds of Gerar strive with shepherds of Isaac,  saying, `The water [is] ours;' and he calleth the name of the  well `Strife,' because they have striven habitually with him; 
01O 026:021 and they dig another well, and they strive also for it,  and he calleth its name `Hatred.' 
01O 026:022 And he removeth from thence, and diggeth another well, and  they have not striven for it, and he calleth its name  Enlargements, and saith, `For -- now hath Jehovah given  enlargement to us, and we have been fruitful in the land.' 
01O 026:023 And he goeth up from thence [to] Beer-Sheba, 
01O 026:024 and Jehovah appeareth unto him during that night, and  saith, `I [am] the God of Abraham thy father, fear not, for I  [am] with thee, and have blessed thee, and have multiplied thy  seed, because of Abraham My servant;' 
01O 026:025 and he buildeth there an altar, and preacheth in the name  of Jehovah, and stretcheth out there his tent, and there  Isaac's servants dig a well. 
01O 026:026 And Abimelech hath gone unto him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath  his friend, and Phichol head of his host; 
01O 026:027 and Isaac saith unto them, `Wherefore have ye come unto  me, and ye have hated me, and ye send me away from you?' 
01O 026:028 And they say, `We have certainly seen that Jehovah hath  been with thee, and we say, `Let there be, we pray thee, an  oath between us, between us and thee, and let us make a  covenant with thee; 
01O 026:029 do not evil with us, as we have not touched thee, and as  we have only done good with thee, and send thee away in peace;  thou [art] now blessed of Jehovah.' 
01O 026:030 And he maketh for them a banquet, and they eat and drink, 
01O 026:031 and rise early in the morning, and swear one to another,  and Isaac sendeth them away, and they go from him in peace. 
01O 026:032 And it cometh to pass during that day that Isaac's  servants come and declare to him concerning the circumstances  of the well which they have digged, and say to him, `We have  found water;' 
01O 026:033 and he calleth it Shebah, [oath,] therefore the name of  the city [is] Beer-Sheba, [well of the oath,] unto this day. 
01O 026:034 And Esau is a son of forty years, and he taketh a wife,  Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath, daughter  of Elon the Hittite, 
01O 026:035 and they are a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to  Rebekah. 
01O 027:001 And it cometh to pass that Isaac [is] aged, and his eyes  are too dim for seeing, and he calleth Esau his elder son, and  saith unto him, `My son;' and he saith unto him, `Here [am] I.' 
01O 027:002 And he saith, `Lo, I pray thee, I have become aged, I have  not known the day of my death; 
01O 027:003 and now, take up, I pray thee, thy instruments, thy quiver,  and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt for me  provision, 
01O 027:004 and make for me tasteful things, [such] as I have loved,  and bring in to me, and I do eat, so that my soul doth bless  thee before I die.' 
01O 027:005 And Rebekah is hearkening while Isaac is speaking unto Esau  his son; and Esau goeth to the field to hunt provision -- to  bring in; 
01O 027:006 and Rebekah hath spoken unto Jacob her son, saying, `Lo, I  have heard thy father speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying, 
01O 027:007 Bring for me provision, and make for me tasteful things,  and I do eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death. 
01O 027:008 `And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to that which I am  commanding thee: 
01O 027:009 Go, I pray thee, unto the flock, and take for me from  thence two good kids of the goats, and I make them tasteful  things for thy father, [such] as he hath loved; 
01O 027:010 and thou hast taken in to thy father, and he hath eaten,  so that his soul doth bless thee before his death. 
01O 027:011 And Jacob saith unto Rebekah his mother, `Lo, Esau my  brother [is] a hairy man, and I a smooth man, 
01O 027:012 it may be my father doth feel me, and I have been in his  eyes as a deceiver, and have brought upon me disesteem, and not  a blessing;' 
01O 027:013 and his mother saith to him, `On me thy disesteem, my son;  only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.' 
01O 027:014 And he goeth, and taketh, and bringeth to his mother, and  his mother maketh tasteful things, [such] as his father hath  loved; 
01O 027:015 and Rebekah taketh the desirable garments of Esau her  elder son, which [are] with her in the house, and doth put on  Jacob her younger son; 
01O 027:016 and the skins of the kids of the goats she hath put on his  hands, and on the smooth of his neck, 
01O 027:017 and she giveth the tasteful things, and the bread which  she hath made, into the hand of Jacob her son. 
01O 027:018 And he cometh in unto his father, and saith, `My father;'  and he saith, `Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?' 
01O 027:019 And Jacob saith unto his father, `I [am] Esau thy  first-born; I have done as thou hast spoken unto me; rise, I  pray thee, sit, and eat of my provision, so that thy soul doth  bless me.' 
01O 027:020 And Isaac saith unto his son, `What [is] this thou hast  hasted to find, my son?' and he saith, `That which Jehovah thy  God hath caused to come before me.' 
01O 027:021 And Isaac saith unto Jacob, `Come nigh, I pray thee, and I  feel thee, my son, whether thou [art] he, my son Esau, or not.' 
01O 027:022 And Jacob cometh nigh unto Isaac his father, and he  feeleth him, and saith, `The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and  the hands hands of Esau.' 
01O 027:023 And he hath not discerned him, for his hands have been  hairy, as the hands of Esau his brother, and he blesseth him, 
01O 027:024 and saith, `Thou art he -- my son Esau?' and he saith, `I  [am].' 
01O 027:025 And he saith, `Bring nigh to me, and I do eat of my son's  provision, so that my soul doth bless thee;' and he bringeth  nigh to him, and he eateth; and he bringeth to him wine, and he  drinketh. 
01O 027:026 And Isaac his father saith to him, `Come nigh, I pray  thee, and kiss me, my son;' 
01O 027:027 and he cometh nigh, and kisseth him, and he smelleth the  fragrance of his garments, and blesseth him, and saith, `See,  the fragrance of my son [is] as the fragrance of a field which  Jehovah hath blessed; 
01O 027:028 and God doth give to thee of the dew of heaven, and of the  fatness of the earth, and abundance of corn and wine; 
01O 027:029 peoples serve thee, and nations bow themselves to thee, be  thou mighty over thy brethren, and the sons of thy mother bow  themselves to thee; those who curse thee [are] cursed, and  those who bless thee [are] blessed.' 
01O 027:030 And it cometh to pass, as Isaac hath finished blessing  Jacob, and Jacob is only just going out from the presence of  Isaac his father, that Esau his brother hath come in from his  hunting; 
01O 027:031 and he also maketh tasteful things, and bringeth to his  father, and saith to his father, `Let my father arise, and eat  of his son's provision, so that thy soul doth bless me.' 
01O 027:032 And Isaac his father saith to him, `Who [art] thou?' and  he saith, `I [am] thy son, thy first-born, Esau;' 
01O 027:033 and Isaac trembleth a very great trembling, and saith,  `Who, now, [is] he who hath provided provision, and bringeth in  to me, and I eat of all before thou comest in, and I bless him?  -- yea, blessed is he.' 
01O 027:034 When Esau heareth the words of his father, then he crieth  a very great and bitter cry, and saith to his father, `Bless  me, me also, O my father;' 
01O 027:035 and he saith, `Thy brother hath come with subtilty, and  taketh thy blessing.' 
01O 027:036 And he saith, `Is it because [one] called his name Jacob  that he doth take me by the heel these two times? my birthright  he hath taken; and lo, now, he hath taken my blessing;' he  saith also, `Hast thou not kept back a blessing for me?' 
01O 027:037 And Isaac answereth and saith to Esau, `Lo, a mighty one  have I set him over thee, and all his brethren have I given to  him for servants, and [with] corn and wine have I sustained  him; and for thee now, what shall I do, my son?' 
01O 027:038 And Esau saith unto his father, `One blessing hast thou my  father? bless me, me also, O my father;' and Esau lifteth up  his voice, and weepeth. 
01O 027:039 And Isaac his father answereth and saith unto him, `Lo, of  the fatness of the earth is thy dwelling, and of the dew of the  heavens from above; 
01O 027:040 and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou  serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou  hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.' 
01O 027:041 And Esau hateth Jacob, because of the blessing with which  his father blessed him, and Esau saith in his heart, `The days  of mourning [for] my father draw near, and I slay Jacob my  brother.' 
01O 027:042 And the words of Esau her elder son are declared to  Rebekah, and she sendeth and calleth for Jacob her younger son,  and saith unto him, `Lo, Esau thy brother is comforting himself  in regard to thee -- to slay thee; 
01O 027:043 and now, my son, hearken to my voice, and rise, flee for  thyself unto Laban my brother, to Haran, 
01O 027:044 and thou hast dwelt with him some days, till thy brother's  fury turn back, 
01O 027:045 till thy brother's anger turn back from thee, and he hath  forgotten that which thou hast done to him, and I have sent and  taken thee from thence; why am I bereaved even of you both the  same day?' 
01O 027:046 And Rebekah saith unto Isaac, `I have been disgusted with  my life because of the presence of the daughters of Heth; if  Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these -- from  the daughters of the land -- why do I live?' 
01O 028:001 And Isaac calleth unto Jacob, and blesseth him, and  commandeth him, and saith to him, `Thou dost not take a wife of  the daughters of Caanan; 
01O 028:002 rise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel, thy  mother's father, and take for thyself from thence a wife, of  the daughters of Laban, thy mother's brother; 
01O 028:003 and God Almighty doth bless thee, and make thee fruitful,  and multiply thee, and thou hast become an assembly of peoples; 
01O 028:004 and He doth give to thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee  and to thy seed with thee, to cause thee to possess the land of  thy sojournings, which God gave to Abraham.' 
01O 028:005 And Isaac sendeth away Jacob, and he goeth to Padan-Aram,  unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, brother of Rebekah,  mother of Jacob and Esau. 
01O 028:006 And Esau seeth that Isaac hath blessed Jacob, and hath sent  him to Padan-Aram to take to himself from thence a wife -- in  his blessing him that he layeth a charge upon him, saying, Thou  dost not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan -- 
01O 028:007 that Jacob hearkeneth unto his father and unto his  mother, and goeth to Padan-Aram -- 
01O 028:008 and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the  eyes of Isaac his father, 
01O 028:009 and Esau goeth unto Ishmael, and taketh Mahalath, daughter  of Ishmael, Abraham's son, sister of Nebajoth, unto his wives,  to himself, for a wife. 
01O 028:010 And Jacob goeth out from Beer-Sheba, and goeth toward  Haran, 
01O 028:011 and he toucheth at a [certain] place, and lodgeth there,  for the sun hath gone in, and he taketh of the stones of the  place, and maketh [them] his pillows, and lieth down in that  place. 
01O 028:012 And he dreameth, and lo, a ladder set up on the earth, and  its head is touching the heavens; and lo, messengers of God are  going up and coming down by it; 
01O 028:013 and lo, Jehovah is standing upon it, and He saith, `I [am]  Jehovah, God of Abraham thy father, and God of Isaac; the land  on which thou art lying, to thee I give it, and to thy seed; 
01O 028:014 and thy seed hath been as the dust of the land, and thou  hast broken forth westward, and eastward, and northward, and  southward, and all families of the ground have been blessed in  thee and in thy seed. 
01O 028:015 `And lo, I [am] with thee, and have kept thee  whithersoever thou goest, and have caused thee to turn back  unto this ground; for I leave thee not till that I have surely  done that which I have spoken to thee.' 
01O 028:016 And Jacob awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `Surely  Jehovah is in this place, and I knew not;' 
01O 028:017 and he feareth, and saith, `How fearful [is] this place;  this is nothing but a house of God, and this a gate of the  heavens.' 
01O 028:018 And Jacob riseth early in the morning, and taketh the  stone which he hath made his pillows, and maketh it a standing  pillar, and poureth oil upon its top, 
01O 028:019 and he calleth the name of that place Bethel, [house of  God,] and yet, Luz [is] the name of the city at the first. 
01O 028:020 And Jacob voweth a vow, saying, `Seeing God is with me,  and hath kept me in this way which I am going, and hath given  to me bread to eat, and a garment to put on -- 
01O 028:021 when I have turned back in peace unto the house of my  father, and Jehovah hath become my God, 
01O 028:022 then this stone which I have made a standing pillar is a  house of God, and all that Thou dost give to me -- tithing I  tithe to Thee.' 
01O 029:001 And Jacob lifteth up his feet, and goeth towards the land  of the sons of the east; 
01O 029:002 and he looketh, and lo, a well in the field, and lo, there  three droves of a flock crouching by it, for from that well  they water the droves, and the great stone [is] on the mouth of  the well. 
01O 029:003 (When thither have all the droves been gathered, and they  have rolled the stone from off the mouth of the well, and have  watered the flock, then they have turned back the stone on the  mouth of the well to its place.) 
01O 029:004 And Jacob saith to them, `My brethren, from whence [are]  ye?' and they say, `We [are] from Haran.' 
01O 029:005 And he saith to them, `Have ye known Laban, son of Nahor?'  and they say, `We have known.' 
01O 029:006 And he saith to them, `Hath he peace?' and they say,  `Peace; and lo, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.' 
01O 029:007 And he saith, `Lo, the day [is] still great, [it is] not  time for the cattle to be gathered; water ye the flock, and go,  delight yourselves.' 
01O 029:008 And they say, `We are not able, till that all the droves be  gathered together, and they have rolled away the stone from the  mouth of the well, and we have watered the flock.' 
01O 029:009 He is yet speaking with them, and Rachel hath come with the  flock which her father hath, for she [is] shepherdess; 
01O 029:010 and it cometh to pass when Jacob hath seen Rachel,  daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban  his mother's brother, that Jacob cometh nigh and rolleth the  stone from off the mouth of the well, and watereth the flock of  Laban his mother's brother. 
01O 029:011 And Jacob kisseth Rachel, and lifteth up his voice, and  weepeth, 
01O 029:012 and Jacob declareth to Rachel that he [is] her father's  brother, and that he [is] Rebekah's son, and she runneth and  declareth to her father. 
01O 029:013 And it cometh to pass, when Laban heareth the report of  Jacob his sister's son, that he runneth to meet him, and  embraceth him, and kisseth him, and bringeth him in unto his  house; and he recounteth to Laban all these things, 
01O 029:014 and Laban saith to him, `Only my bone and my flesh [art]  thou;' and he dwelleth with him a month of days. 
01O 029:015 And Laban saith to Jacob, `Is it because thou [art] my  brother that thou hast served me for nought? declare to me what  [is] thy hire.' 
01O 029:016 And Laban hath two daughters, the name of the elder [is]  Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel, 
01O 029:017 and the eyes of Leah [are] tender, and Rachel hath been  fair of form and fair of appearance. 
01O 029:018 And Jacob loveth Rachel, and saith, `I serve thee seven  years for Rachel thy younger daughter:' 
01O 029:019 and Laban saith, `It is better for me to give her to thee  than to give her to another man; dwell with me;' 
01O 029:020 and Jacob serveth for Rachel seven years; and they are in  his eyes as some days, because of his loving her. 
01O 029:021 And Jacob saith unto Laban, `Give up my wife, for my days  have been fulfilled, and I go in unto her;' 
01O 029:022 and Laban gathereth all the men of the place, and maketh a  banquet. 
01O 029:023 And it cometh to pass in the evening, that he taketh Leah,  his daughter, and bringeth her in unto him, and he goeth in  unto her; 
01O 029:024 and Laban giveth to her Zilpah, his maid-servant, to Leah  his daughter, a maid-servant. 
01O 029:025 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that lo, it [is]  Leah; and he saith unto Laban, `What [is] this thou hast done  to me? for Rachel have I not served with thee? and why hast  thou deceived me?' 
01O 029:026 And Laban saith, `It is not done so in our place, to give  the younger before the first-born; 
01O 029:027 fulfil the week of this one, and we give to thee also this  one, for the service which thou dost serve with me yet seven  other years.' 
01O 029:028 And Jacob doth so, and fulfilleth the week of this one,  and he giveth to him Rachel his daughter, to him for a wife; 
01O 029:029 and Laban giveth to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his  maid-servant, for a maid-servant to her. 
01O 029:030 And he goeth in also unto Rachel, and he also loveth  Rachel more than Leah; and he serveth with him yet seven other  years. 
01O 029:031 And Jehovah seeth that Leah [is] the hated one, and He  openeth her womb, and Rachel [is] barren; 
01O 029:032 and Leah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his  name Reuben, for she said, `Because Jehovah hath looked on mine  affliction; because now doth my husband love me.' 
01O 029:033 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith,  `Because Jehovah hath heard that I [am] the hated one, He also  giveth to me even this [one];' and she calleth his name Simeon. 
01O 029:034 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith,  `Now [is] the time, my husband is joined unto me, because I  have born to him three sons,' therefore hath [one] called his  name Levi. 
01O 029:035 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and saith  this time, `I praise Jehovah;' therefore hath she called his  name Judah; and she ceaseth from bearing. 
01O 030:001 And Rachel seeth that she hath not borne to Jacob, and  Rachel is envious of her sister, and saith unto Jacob, `Give me  sons, and if there is none -- I die.' 
01O 030:002 And Jacob's anger burneth against Rachel, and he saith, `Am  I in stead of God who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the  womb?' 
01O 030:003 And she saith, `Lo, my handmaid Bilhah, go in unto her, and  she doth bear on my knees, and I am built up, even I, from  her;' 
01O 030:004 and she giveth to him Bilhah her maid-servant for a wife,  and Jacob goeth in unto her; 
01O 030:005 and Bilhah conceiveth, and beareth to Jacob a son, 
01O 030:006 and Rachel saith, `God hath decided for me, and also hath  hearkened to my voice, and giveth to me a son;' therefore hath  she called his name Dan. 
01O 030:007 And Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant, conceiveth again, and  beareth a second son to Jacob, 
01O 030:008 and Rachel saith, `With wrestlings of God I have wrestled  with my sister, yea, I have prevailed;' and she calleth his  name Napthali. 
01O 030:009 And Leah seeth that she hath ceased from bearing, and she  taketh Zilpah her maid-servant, and giveth her to Jacob for a  wife; 
01O 030:010 and Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth to Jacob a son, 
01O 030:011 and Leah saith, `A troop is coming;' and she calleth his  name Gad. 
01O 030:012 And Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant, beareth a second son to  Jacob, 
01O 030:013 and Leah saith, `Because of my happiness, for daughters  have pronounced me happy;' and she calleth his name Asher. 
01O 030:014 And Reuben goeth in the days of wheat-harvest, and findeth  love-apples in the field, and bringeth them in unto Leah, his  mother, and Rachel saith unto Leah, `Give to me, I pray thee,  of the love-apples of thy son.' 
01O 030:015 And she saith to her, `Is thy taking my husband a little  thing, that thou hast taken also the love-apples of my son?'  and Rachel saith, `Therefore doth he lie with thee to-night,  for thy son's love-apples.' 
01O 030:016 And Jacob cometh in from the field at evening; and Leah  goeth to meet him, and saith, `Unto me dost thou come in, for  hiring I have hired thee with my son's love-apples;' and he  lieth with her during that night. 
01O 030:017 And God hearkeneth unto Leah, and she conceiveth, and  beareth to Jacob a son, a fifth, 
01O 030:018 and Leah saith, `God hath given my hire, because I have  given my maid-servant to my husband;' and she calleth his name  Issachar. 
01O 030:019 And conceive again doth Leah, and she beareth a sixth son  to Jacob, 
01O 030:020 and Leah saith, `God hath endowed me -- a good dowry; this  time doth my husband dwell with me, for I have borne to him six  sons;' and she calleth his name Zebulun; 
01O 030:021 and afterwards hath she born a daughter, and calleth her  name Dinah. 
01O 030:022 And God remembereth Rachel, and God hearkeneth unto her,  and openeth her womb, 
01O 030:023 and she conceiveth and beareth a son, and saith, `God hath  gathered up my reproach;' 
01O 030:024 and she calleth his name Joseph, saying, `Jehovah is  adding to me another son.' 
01O 030:025 And it cometh to pass, when Rachel hath borne Joseph, that  Jacob saith unto Laban, `Send me away, and I go unto my place,  and to my land; 
01O 030:026 give up my wives and my children, for whom I have served  thee, and I go; for thou -- thou hast known my service which I  have served thee.' 
01O 030:027 And Laban saith unto him, `If, I pray thee, I have found  grace in thine eyes -- I have observed diligently that Jehovah  doth bless me for thy sake.' 
01O 030:028 He saith also, `Define thy hire to me, and I give.' 
01O 030:029 And he saith unto him, `Thou -- thou hast known that which  I have served thee [in], and that which thy substance was with  me; 
01O 030:030 for [it is] little which thou hast had at my appearance,  and it breaketh forth into a multitude, and Jehovah blesseth  thee at my coming; and now, when do I make, I also, for mine  own house?' 
01O 030:031 And he saith, `What do I give to thee?' And Jacob saith,  `Thou dost not give me anything; if thou do for me this thing,  I turn back; I have delight; thy flock I watch; 
01O 030:032 I pass through all thy flock to-day to turn aside from  thence every sheep speckled and spotted, and every brown sheep  among the lambs, and speckled and spotted among the goats --  and it hath been my hire; 
01O 030:033 and my righteousness hath answered for me in the day to  come, when it cometh in for my hire before thy face; -- every  one which is not speckled and spotted among [my] goats, and  brown among [my] lambs -- it is stolen with me.' 
01O 030:034 And Laban saith, `Lo, O that it were according to thy  word;' 
01O 030:035 and he turneth aside during that day the ring-straked and  the spotted he-goats, and all the speckled and the spotted  she-goats, every one that [hath] white in it, and every brown  one among the lambs, and he giveth into the hand of his sons, 
01O 030:036 and setteth a journey of three days between himself and  Jacob; and Jacob is feeding the rest of the flock of Laban. 
01O 030:037 And Jacob taketh to himself a rod of fresh poplar, and of  the hazel and chesnut, and doth peel in them white peelings,  making bare the white that [is] on the rods, 
01O 030:038 and setteth up the rods which he hath peeled in the  gutters in the watering troughs (when the flock cometh in to  drink), over-against the flock, that they may conceive in their  coming in to drink; 
01O 030:039 and the flocks conceive at the rods, and the flock beareth  ring-straked, speckled, and spotted ones. 
01O 030:040 And the lambs hath Jacob parted, and he putteth the face  of the flock towards the ring-straked, also all the brown in  the flock of Laban, and he setteth his own droves by  themselves, and hath not set them near Laban's flock. 
01O 030:041 And it hath come to pass whenever the strong ones of the  flock conceive, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the  flock in the gutters, to cause them to conceive by the rods, 
01O 030:042 and when the flock is feeble, he doth not set [them]; and  the feeble ones have been Laban's, and the strong ones Jacob's. 
01O 030:043 And the man increaseth very exceedingly, and hath many  flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and  asses. 
01O 031:001 And he heareth the words of Laban's sons, saying, `Jacob  hath taken all that our father hath; yea, from that which our  father hath, he hath made all this honour;' 
01O 031:002 and Jacob seeth the face of Laban, and lo, it is not with  him as heretofore. 
01O 031:003 And Jehovah saith unto Jacob, `Turn back unto the land of  thy fathers, and to thy kindred, and I am with thee.' 
01O 031:004 And Jacob sendeth and calleth for Rachel and for Leah to  the field unto his flock; 
01O 031:005 and saith to them, `I am beholding your father's face --  that it is not towards me as heretofore, and the God of my  father hath been with me, 
01O 031:006 and ye -- ye have known that with all my power I have  served your father, 
01O 031:007 and your father hath played upon me, and hath changed my  hire ten times; and God hath not suffered him to do evil with  me. 
01O 031:008 `If he say thus: The speckled are thy hire, then bare all  the flock speckled ones; and if he say thus: The ring-straked  are thy hire, then bare all the flock ring-straked; 
01O 031:009 and God taketh away the substance of your father, and doth  give to me. 
01O 031:010 `And it cometh to pass at the time of the flock  conceiving, that I lift up mine eyes and see in a dream, and  lo, the he-goats, which are going up on the flock, [are]  ring-straked, speckled, and grisled; 
01O 031:011 and the messenger of God saith unto me in the dream,  Jacob, and I say, Here [am] I. 
01O 031:012 `And He saith, Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see  -- all the he-goats which are going up on the flock [are]  ring-straked, speckled, and grisled, for I have seen all that  Laban is doing to thee; 
01O 031:013 I [am] the God of Bethel where thou hast anointed a  standing pillar, where thou hast vowed a vow to me; now, arise,  go out from this land, and turn back unto the land of thy  birth.' 
01O 031:014 And Rachel answereth -- Leah also -- and saith to him,  `Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our  father? 
01O 031:015 have we not been reckoned strangers to him? for he hath  sold us, and he also utterly consumeth our money; 
01O 031:016 for all the wealth which God hath taken away from our  father, it [is] ours, and our children's; and now, all that God  hath said unto thee -- do.' 
01O 031:017 And Jacob riseth, and lifteth up his sons and his wives on  the camels, 
01O 031:018 and leadeth all his cattle, and all his substance which he  hath acquired, the cattle of his getting, which he hath  acquired in Padan-Aram, to go unto Isaac his father, to the  land of Canaan. 
01O 031:019 And Laban hath gone to shear his flock, and Rachel  stealeth the teraphim which her father hath; 
01O 031:020 and Jacob deceiveth the heart of Laban the Aramaean,  because he hath not declared to him that he is fleeing; 
01O 031:021 and he fleeth, he and all that he hath, and riseth, and  passeth over the River, and setteth his face [toward] the mount  of Gilead. 
01O 031:022 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob hath  fled, 
01O 031:023 and he taketh his brethren with him, and pursueth after  him a journey of seven days, and overtaketh him in the mount of  Gilead. 
01O 031:024 And God cometh in unto Laban the Aramaean in a dream of  the night, and saith to him, `Take heed to thyself lest thou  speak with Jacob from good unto evil.' 
01O 031:025 And Laban overtaketh Jacob; and Jacob hath fixed his tent  in the mount; and Laban with his brethren have fixed [theirs]  in the mount of Gilead. 
01O 031:026 And Laban saith to Jacob, `What hast thou done that thou  dost deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives  of the sword? 
01O 031:027 Why hast thou hidden thyself to flee, and deceivest me,  and hast not declared to me, and I send thee away with joy and  with songs, with tabret and with harp, 
01O 031:028 and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters?  -- now thou hast acted foolishly in doing [so]; 
01O 031:029 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your  father yesternight hath spoken unto me, saying, Take heed to  thyself from speaking with Jacob from good unto evil. 
01O 031:030 `And now, thou hast certainly gone, because thou hast been  very desirous for the house of thy father; why hast thou stolen  my gods?' 
01O 031:031 And Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `Because I was  afraid, for I said, Lest thou take violently away thy daughters  from me; 
01O 031:032 with whomsoever thou findest thy gods -- he doth not live;  before our brethren discern for thyself what [is] with me, and  take to thyself:' and Jacob hath not known that Rachel hath  stolen them. 
01O 031:033 And Laban goeth into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent  of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and hath  not found; and he goeth out from the tent of Leah, and goeth  into the tent of Rachel. 
01O 031:034 And Rachel hath taken the teraphim, and putteth them in  the furniture of the camel, and sitteth upon them; and Laban  feeleth all the tent, and hath not found; 
01O 031:035 and she saith unto her father, `Let it not be displeasing  in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at thy  presence, for the way of women [is] on me;' and he searcheth,  and hath not found the teraphim. 
01O 031:036 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he striveth with  Laban; and Jacob answereth and saith to Laban, `What [is] my  transgression? what my sin, that thou hast burned after me? 
01O 031:037 for thou hast felt all my vessels: what hast thou found of  all the vessels of thy house? set here before my brethren, and  thy brethren, and they decide between us both. 
01O 031:038 `These twenty years I [am] with thee: thy ewes and thy  she-goats have not miscarried, and the rams of thy flock I have  not eaten; 
01O 031:039 the torn I have not brought in unto thee -- I, I repay it  -- from my hand thou dost seek it; I have been deceived by day,  and I have been deceived by night; 
01O 031:040 I have been [thus]: in the day consumed me hath drought,  and frost by night, and wander doth my sleep from mine eyes. 
01O 031:041 `This [is] to me twenty years in thy house: I have served  thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for  thy flock; and thou changest my hire ten times; 
01O 031:042 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the  Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now empty thou hadst  sent me away; mine affliction and the labour of my hands hath  God seen, and reproveth yesternight.' 
01O 031:043 And Laban answereth and saith unto Jacob, `The daughters  [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my  flock, and all that thou art seeing [is] mine; and to my  daughters -- what do I to these to-day, or to their sons whom  they have born? 
01O 031:044 and now, come, let us make a covenant, I and thou, and it  hath been for a witness between me and thee.' 
01O 031:045 And Jacob taketh a stone, and lifteth it up [for] a  standing pillar; 
01O 031:046 and Jacob saith to his brethren, `Gather stones,' and they  take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap; 
01O 031:047 and Laban calleth it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob hath  called it Galeed. 
01O 031:048 And Laban saith, `This heap [is] witness between me and  thee to-day;' therefore hath he called its name Galeed; 
01O 031:049 Mizpah also, for he said, `Jehovah doth watch between me  and thee, for we are hidden one from another; 
01O 031:050 if thou afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my  daughters -- there is no man with us -- see, God [is] witness  between me and thee.' 
01O 031:051 And Laban saith to Jacob, `Lo, this heap, and lo, the  standing pillar which I have cast between me and thee; 
01O 031:052 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is]  witness, that I do not pass over this heap unto thee, and that  thou dost not pass over this heap and this standing pillar unto  me -- for evil; 
01O 031:053 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, doth judge  between us -- the God of their father,' and Jacob sweareth by  the Fear of his father Isaac. 
01O 031:054 And Jacob sacrificeth a sacrifice in the mount, and  calleth to his brethren to eat bread, and they eat bread, and  lodge in the mount; 
01O 031:055 and Laban riseth early in the morning, and kisseth his  sons and his daughters, and blesseth them; and Laban goeth on,  and turneth back to his place. 
01O 032:001 And Jacob hath gone on his way, and messengers of God come  upon him; 
01O 032:002 and Jacob saith, when he hath seen them, `This [is] the  camp of God;' and he calleth the name of that place `Two  Camps.' 
01O 032:003 And Jacob sendeth messengers before him unto Esau his  brother, towards the land of Seir, the field of Edom, 
01O 032:004 and commandeth them, saying, `Thus do ye say to my lord, to  Esau: Thus said thy servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned,  and I tarry until now; 
01O 032:005 and I have ox, and ass, flock, and man-servant, and  maid-servant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace  in his eyes.' 
01O 032:006 And the messengers turn back unto Jacob, saying, `We came  in unto thy brother, unto Esau, and he also is coming to meet  thee, and four hundred men with him;' 
01O 032:007 and Jacob feareth exceedingly, and is distressed, and he  divideth the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the  herd, and the camels, into two camps, 
01O 032:008 and saith, `If Esau come in unto the one camp, and have  smitten it -- then the camp which is left hath been for an  escape.' 
01O 032:009 And Jacob saith, `God of my father Abraham, and God of my  father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land,  and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee: 
01O 032:010 I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the  truth which Thou hast done with thy servant -- for, with my  staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two  camps. 
01O 032:011 `Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother,  from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and  have smitten me -- mother beside sons; 
01O 032:012 and Thou -- Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee,  and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not  numbered because of the multitude.' 
01O 032:013 And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from  that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his  brother: 
01O 032:014 she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two  hundred, and rams twenty, 
01O 032:015 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty,  and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten; 
01O 032:016 and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove  by itself, and saith unto his servants, `Pass over before me,  and a space ye do put between drove and drove.' 
01O 032:017 And he commandeth the first, saying, `When Esau my brother  meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose [art] thou?  and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee? 
01O 032:018 then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it [is] a  present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also [is] behind  us.' 
01O 032:019 And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also  all who are going after the droves, saying, `According to this  manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him, 
01O 032:020 and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob [is] behind  us;' for he said, `I pacify his face with the present which is  going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he  lifteth up my face;' 
01O 032:021 and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath  lodged during that night in the camp. 
01O 032:022 And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and  his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth  over the passage of Jabbok; 
01O 032:023 and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the  brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over. 
01O 032:024 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till  the ascending of the dawn; 
01O 032:025 and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh  against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's  thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with him; 
01O 032:026 and he saith, `Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:'  and he saith, `I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed  me.' 
01O 032:027 And he saith unto him, `What [is] thy name?' and he saith,  `Jacob.' 
01O 032:028 And he saith, `Thy name is no more called Jacob, but  Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and  dost prevail.' 
01O 032:029 And Jacob asketh, and saith, `Declare, I pray thee, thy  name;' and he saith, `Why [is] this, thou askest for My name?'  and He blesseth him there. 
01O 032:030 And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for `I  have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;' 
01O 032:031 and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel,  and he is halting on his thigh; 
01O 032:032 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which  shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day,  because He came against the hollow of Jacob's thigh, against  the sinew which shrank. 
01O 033:001 And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is  coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the  children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two  maid-servants; 
01O 033:002 and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first,  and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last. 
01O 033:003 And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself  to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his  brother, 
01O 033:004 and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and  falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep; 
01O 033:005 and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the  children, and saith, `What [are] these to thee?' And he saith,  `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.' 
01O 033:006 And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children,  and bow themselves; 
01O 033:007 and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow  themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel,  and they bow themselves. 
01O 033:008 And he saith, `What to thee [is] all this camp which I have  met?' and he saith, `To find grace in the eyes of my lord.' 
01O 033:009 And Esau saith, `I have abundance, my brother, let it be to  thyself that which thou hast.' 
01O 033:010 And Jacob saith, `Nay, I pray thee, if, I pray thee, I  have found grace in thine eyes, then thou hast received my  present from my hand, because that I have seen thy face, as the  seeing of the face of God, and thou art pleased with me; 
01O 033:011 receive, I pray thee, my blessing, which is brought to  thee, because God hath favoured me, and because I have all  [things];' and he presseth on him, and he receiveth, 
01O 033:012 and saith, `Let us journey and go on, and I go on before  thee.' 
01O 033:013 And he saith unto him, `My lord knoweth that the children  [are] tender, and the suckling flock and the herd [are] with  me; when they have beaten them one day, then hath all the flock  died. 
01O 033:014 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant,  and I -- I lead on gently, according to the foot of the work  which [is] before me, and to the foot of the children, until  that I come unto my lord, to Seir.' 
01O 033:015 And Esau saith, `Let me, I pray thee, place with thee some  of the people who [are] with me;' and he said, `Why [is] this?  I find grace in the eyes of my lord.' 
01O 033:016 And turn back on that day doth Esau on his way to Seir; 
01O 033:017 and Jacob hath journeyed to Succoth, and buildeth to  himself a house, and for his cattle hath made booths, therefore  hath he called the name of the place Succoth. 
01O 033:018 And Jacob cometh in to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which  [is] in the land of Canaan, in his coming from Padan-Aram, and  encampeth before the city, 
01O 033:019 and he buyeth the portion of the field where he hath  stretched out his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor,  father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah; 
01O 033:020 and he setteth up there an altar, and proclaimeth at it  God -- the God of Israel. 
01O 034:001 And Dinah, daughter of Leah, whom she hath borne to Jacob,  goeth out to look on the daughters of the land, 
01O 034:002 and Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, a prince of the land,  seeth her, and taketh her, and lieth with her, and humbleth  her; 
01O 034:003 and his soul cleaveth to Dinah, daughter of Jacob, and he  loveth the young person, and speaketh unto the heart of the  young person. 
01O 034:004 And Shechem speaketh unto Hamor his father, saying, `Take  for me this damsel for a wife.' 
01O 034:005 And Jacob hath heard that he hath defiled Dinah his  daughter, and his sons were with his cattle in the field, and  Jacob kept silent till their coming. 
01O 034:006 And Hamor, father of Shechem, goeth out unto Jacob to speak  with him; 
01O 034:007 and the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they  heard, and the men grieve themselves, and it [is] very  displeasing to them, for folly he hath done against Israel, to  lie with the daughter of Jacob -- and so it is not done. 
01O 034:008 And Hamor speaketh with them, saying, `Shechem, my son, his  soul hath cleaved to your daughter; give her, I pray you, to  him for a wife, 
01O 034:009 and join ye in marriage with us; your daughters ye give to  us, and our daughters ye take to yourselves, 
01O 034:010 and with us ye dwell, and the land is before you; dwell ye  and trade [in] it, and have possessions in it.' 
01O 034:011 And Shechem saith unto her father, and unto her brethren,  `Let me find grace in your eyes, and that which ye say unto me,  I give; 
01O 034:012 multiply on me exceedingly dowry and gift, and I give as  ye say unto me, and give to me the young person for a wife.' 
01O 034:013 And the sons of Jacob answer Shechem and Hamor his father  deceitfully, and they speak (because he defiled Dinah their  sister), 
01O 034:014 and say unto them, `We are not able to do this thing, to  give our sister to one who hath a foreskin: for it [is] a  reproach to us. 
01O 034:015 `Only for this we consent to you; if ye be as we, to have  every male of you circumcised, 
01O 034:016 then we have given our daughters to you, and your  daughters we take to ourselves, and we have dwelt with you, and  have become one people; 
01O 034:017 and if ye hearken not unto us to be circumcised, then we  have taken our daughter, and have gone.' 
01O 034:018 And their words are good in the eyes of Hamor, and in the  eyes of Shechem, Hamor's son; 
01O 034:019 and the young man delayed not to do the thing, for he had  delight in Jacob's daughter, and he is honourable above all the  house of his father. 
01O 034:020 And Hamor cometh -- Shechem his son also -- unto the gate  of their city, and they speak unto the men of their city,  saying, 
01O 034:021 `These men are peaceable with us; then let them dwell in  the land, and trade [in] it; and the land, lo, [is] wide before  them; their daughters let us take to ourselves for wives, and  our daughters give to them. 
01O 034:022 `Only for this do the men consent to us, to dwell with us,  to become one people, in every male of us being circumcised, as  they are circumcised; 
01O 034:023 their cattle, and their substance, and all their beasts --  are they not ours? only let us consent to them, and they dwell  with us.' 
01O 034:024 And unto Hamor, and unto Shechem his son, hearken do all  those going out of the gate of his city, and every male is  circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city. 
01O 034:025 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, in their being  pained, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's  brethren, take each his sword, and come in against the city  confidently, and slay every male; 
01O 034:026 and Hamor, and Shechem his son, they have slain by the  mouth of the sword, and they take Dinah out of Shechem's house,  and go out. 
01O 034:027 Jacob's sons have come in upon the wounded, and they spoil  the city, because they had defiled their sister; 
01O 034:028 their flock and their herd, and their asses, and that  which [is] in the city, and that which [is] in the field, have  they taken; 
01O 034:029 and all their wealth, and all their infants, and their  wives they have taken captive, and they spoil also all that  [is] in the house. 
01O 034:030 And Jacob saith unto Simeon and unto Levi, `Ye have  troubled me, by causing me to stink among the inhabitants of  the land, among the Canaanite, and among the Perizzite: and I  [am] few in number, and they have been gathered against me, and  have smitten me, and I have been destroyed, I and my house.' 
01O 034:031 And they say, `As a harlot doth he make our sister?' 
01O 035:001 And God saith unto Jacob, `Rise, go up to Bethel, and dwell  there, and make there an altar to God, who appeared unto thee  in thy fleeing from the face of Esau thy brother.' 
01O 035:002 And Jacob saith unto his household, and unto all who [are]  with him, `Turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in  your midst, and cleanse yourselves, and change your garments; 
01O 035:003 and we rise, and go up to Bethel, and I make there an altar  to God, who is answering me in the day of my distress, and is  with me in the way that I have gone.' 
01O 035:004 And they give unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger that  [are] in their hand, and the rings that [are] in their ears,  and Jacob hideth them under the oak which [is] by Shechem; 
01O 035:005 and they journey, and the terror of God is on the cities  which [are] round about them, and they have not pursued after  the sons of Jacob. 
01O 035:006 And Jacob cometh in to Luz which [is] in the land of Canaan  (it [is] Bethel), he and all the people who [are] with him, 
01O 035:007 and he buildeth there an altar, and proclaimeth at the  place the God of Bethel: for there had God been revealed unto  him, in his fleeing from the face of his brother. 
01O 035:008 And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, dieth, and she is buried at  the lower part of Bethel, under the oak, and he calleth its  name `Oak of weeping.' 
01O 035:009 And God appeareth unto Jacob again, in his coming from  Padan-Aram, and blesseth him; 
01O 035:010 and God saith to him, `Thy name [is] Jacob: thy name is no  more called Jacob, but Israel is thy name;' and He calleth his  name Israel. 
01O 035:011 And God saith to him, `I [am] God Almighty; be fruitful  and multiply, a nation and an assembly of nations is from thee,  and kings from thy loins go out; 
01O 035:012 and the land which I have given to Abraham and to Isaac --  to thee I give it, yea to thy seed after thee I give the land.' 
01O 035:013 And God goeth up from him, in the place where He hath  spoken with him. 
01O 035:014 And Jacob setteth up a standing pillar in the place where  He hath spoken with him, a standing pillar of stone, and he  poureth on it an oblation, and he poureth on it oil; 
01O 035:015 and Jacob calleth the name of the place where God spake  with him Bethel. 
01O 035:016 And they journey from Bethel, and there is yet a kibrath  of land before entering Ephratha, and Rachel beareth, and is  sharply pained in her bearing; 
01O 035:017 and it cometh to pass, in her being sharply pained in her  bearing, that the midwife saith to her, `Fear not, for this  also [is] a son for thee.' 
01O 035:018 And it cometh to pass in the going out of her soul (for  she died), that she calleth his name Ben-Oni; and his father  called him Benjamin; 
01O 035:019 and Rachel dieth, and is buried in the way to Ephratha,  which [is] Bethlehem, 
01O 035:020 and Jacob setteth up a standing pillar over her grave;  which [is] the standing pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. 
01O 035:021 And Israel journeyeth, and stretcheth out his tent beyond  the tower of Edar; 
01O 035:022 and it cometh to pass in Israel's dwelling in that land,  that Reuben goeth, and lieth with Bilhah his father's  concubine; and Israel heareth. 
01O 035:023 And the sons of Jacob are twelve. Sons of Leah: Jacob's  first-born Reuben, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and  Issachar, and Zebulun. 
01O 035:024 Sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin. 
01O 035:025 And sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maid-servant: Dan and  Naphtali. 
01O 035:026 And sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid-servant: Gad and Asher.  These [are] sons of Jacob, who have been born to him in  Padan-Aram. 
01O 035:027 And Jacob cometh unto Isaac his father, at Mamre, the city  of Arba (which [is] Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac have  sojourned. 
01O 035:028 And the days of Isaac are a hundred and eighty years, 
01O 035:029 and Isaac expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his  people, aged and satisfied with days; and bury him do Esau and  Jacob his sons. 
01O 036:001 And these [are] births of Esau, who [is] Edom. 
01O 036:002 Esau hath taken his wives from the daughters of Canaan:  Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah daughter of  Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 
01O 036:003 and Bashemath daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebajoth. 
01O 036:004 And Adah beareth to Esau, Eliphaz; and Bashemath hath born  Reuel; 
01O 036:005 and Aholibamah hath born Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.  These [are] sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of  Canaan. 
01O 036:006 And Esau taketh his wives, and his sons, and his daughters,  and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his  beasts, and all his substance which he hath acquired in the  land of Canaan, and goeth into the country from the face of  Jacob his brother; 
01O 036:007 for their substance was more abundant than to dwell  together, and the land of their sojournings was not able to  bear them because of their cattle; 
01O 036:008 and Esau dwelleth in mount Seir: Esau is Edom. 
01O 036:009 And these [are] births of Esau, father of Edom, in mount  Seir. 
01O 036:010 These [are] the names of the sons of Esau: Eliphaz son of  Adah, wife of Esau; Reuel son of Bashemath, wife of Esau. 
01O 036:011 And the sons of Eliphaz are Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam,  and Kenaz; 
01O 036:012 and Timnath hath been concubine to Eliphaz son of Esau,  and she beareth to Eliphaz, Amalek; these [are] sons of Adah  wife of Esau. 
01O 036:013 And these [are] sons of Reuel: Nahath and Zerah, Shammah  and Mizzah; these were sons of Bashemath wife of Esau. 
01O 036:014 And these have been the sons of Aholibamah daughter of  Anah, daughter of Zibeon, wife of Esau; and she beareth to  Esau, Jeush and Jaalam and Korah.

01O 036:021 and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan; these [are] chiefs of  the Horites, sons of Seir, in the land of Edom. 
01O 036:022 And the sons of Lotan are Hori and Heman; and a sister of  Lotan [is] Timna.

01O 036:024 And these [are] sons of Zibeon, both Ajah and Anah: it  [is] Anah that hath found the Imim in the wilderness, in his  feeding the asses of Zibeon his father. 
01O 036:025 And these [are] sons of Anah: Dishon, and Aholibamah  daughter of Anah. 
01O 036:026 And these [are] sons of Dishon: Hemdan, and Eshban, and  Ithran, and Cheran.

01O 036:031 And these [are] the kings who have reigned in the land of  Edom before the reigning of a king over the sons of Israel. 
01O 036:032 And Bela son of Beor reigneth in Edom, and the name of his  city [is] Dinhabah;

01O 037:001 And Jacob dwelleth in the land of his father's sojournings  -- in the land of Canaan. 
01O 037:002 These [are] births of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seventeen  years, hath been enjoying himself with his brethren among the  flock, (and he [is] a youth,) with the sons of Bilhah, and with  the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and Joseph bringeth in  an account of their evil unto their father. 
01O 037:003 And Israel hath loved Joseph more than any of his sons, for  he [is] a son of his old age, and hath made for him a long  coat; 
01O 037:004 and his brethren see that their father hath loved him more  than any of his brethren, and they hate him, and have not been  able to speak [to] him peaceably. 
01O 037:005 And Joseph dreameth a dream, and declareth to his brethren,  and they add still more to hate him. 
01O 037:006 And he saith unto them, `Hear ye, I pray you, this dream  which I have dreamed: 
01O 037:007 that, lo, we are binding bundles in the midst of the field,  and lo, my bundle hath arisen, and hath also stood up, and lo,  your bundles are round about, and bow themselves to my bundle.' 
01O 037:008 And his brethren say to him, `Dost thou certainly reign  over us? dost thou certainly rule over us?' and they add still  more to hate him, for his dreams, and for his words. 
01O 037:009 And he dreameth yet another dream, and recounteth it to his  brethren, and saith, `Lo, I have dreamed a dream again, and lo,  the sun and the moon, and eleven stars, are bowing themselves  to me.' 
01O 037:010 And he recounteth unto his father, and unto his brethren;  and his father pusheth against him, and saith to him, `What  [is] this dream which thou hast dreamt? do we certainly come --  I, and thy mother, and thy brethren -- to bow ourselves to  thee, to the earth?' 
01O 037:011 and his brethren are zealous against him, and his father  hath watched the matter. 
01O 037:012 And his brethren go to feed the flock of their father in  Shechem, 
01O 037:013 and Israel saith unto Joseph, `Are not thy brethren  feeding in Shechem? come, and I send thee unto them;' and he  saith to him, `Here [am] I;' 
01O 037:014 and he saith to him, `Go, I pray thee, see the peace of  thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back  word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he  cometh to Shechem. 
01O 037:015 And a man findeth him, and lo, he is wandering in the  field, and the man asketh him, saying, `What seekest thou?' 
01O 037:016 and he saith, `My brethren I am seeking, declare to me, I  pray thee, where they are feeding?' 
01O 037:017 And the man saith, `They have journeyed from this, for I  have heard some saying, Let us go to Dothan,' and Joseph goeth  after his brethren, and findeth them in Dothan. 
01O 037:018 And they see him from afar, even before he draweth near  unto them, and they conspire against him to put him to death. 
01O 037:019 And they say one unto another, `Lo, this man of the dreams  cometh; 
01O 037:020 and now, come, and we slay him, and cast him into one of  the pits, and have said, An evil beast hath devoured him; and  we see what his dreams are.' 
01O 037:021 And Reuben heareth, and delivereth him out of their hand,  and saith, `Let us not smite the life;' 
01O 037:022 and Reuben saith unto them, `Shed no blood; cast him into  this pit which [is] in the wilderness, and put not forth a hand  upon him,' -- in order to deliver him out of their hand, to  bring him back unto his father. 
01O 037:023 And it cometh to pass, when Joseph hath come unto his  brethren, that they strip Joseph of his coat, the long coat  which [is] upon him, 
01O 037:024 and take him and cast him into the pit, and the pit [is]  empty, there is no water in it. 
01O 037:025 And they sit down to eat bread, and they lift up their  eyes, and look, and lo, a company of Ishmaelites coming from  Gilead, and their camels bearing spices, and balm, and myrrh,  going to take [them] down to Egypt. 
01O 037:026 And Judah saith unto his brethren, `What gain when we slay  our brother, and have concealed his blood? 
01O 037:027 Come, and we sell him to the Ishmaelites, and our hands  are not on him, for he [is] our brother -- our flesh;' and his  brethren hearken. 
01O 037:028 And Midianite merchantmen pass by and they draw out and  bring up Joseph out of the pit, and sell Joseph to the  Ishmaelites for twenty silverlings, and they bring Joseph into  Egypt. 
01O 037:029 And Reuben returneth unto the pit, and lo, Joseph is not  in the pit, and he rendeth his garments, 
01O 037:030 and he returneth unto his brethren, and saith, `The lad is  not, and I -- whither am I going?' 
01O 037:031 And they take the coat of Joseph, and slaughter a kid of  the goats, and dip the coat in the blood, 
01O 037:032 and send the long coat, and they bring [it] in unto their  father, and say, `This have we found; discern, we pray thee,  whether it [is] thy son's coat or not?' 
01O 037:033 And he discerneth it, and saith, `My son's coat! an evil  beast hath devoured him; torn -- torn is Joseph!' 
01O 037:034 And Jacob rendeth his raiment, and putteth sackcloth on  his loins, and becometh a mourner for his son many days, 
01O 037:035 and all his sons and all his daughters rise to comfort  him, and he refuseth to comfort himself, and saith, `For -- I  go down mourning unto my son, to Sheol,' and his father weepeth  for him. 
01O 037:036 And the Medanites have sold him unto Egypt, to Potiphar, a  eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners. 
01O 038:001 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Judah goeth down  from his brethren, and turneth aside unto a man, an Adullamite,  whose name [is] Hirah; 
01O 038:002 and Judah seeth there the daughter of a man, a Canaanite,  whose name [is] Shuah, and taketh her, and goeth in unto her. 
01O 038:003 And she conceiveth, and beareth a son, and he calleth his  name Er; 
01O 038:004 and she conceiveth again, and beareth a son, and calleth  his name Onan; 
01O 038:005 and she addeth again, and beareth a son, and calleth his  name Shelah; and he was in Chezib in her bearing him. 
01O 038:006 And Judah taketh a wife for Er, his first-born, and her  name [is] Tamar; 
01O 038:007 and Er, Judah's first-born, is evil in the eyes of Jehovah,  and Jehovah doth put him to death. 
01O 038:008 And Judah saith to Onan, `Go in unto the wife of thy  brother, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother;' 
01O 038:009 and Onan knoweth that the seed is not [reckoned] his; and  it hath come to pass, if he hath gone in unto his brother's  wife, that he hath destroyed [it] to the earth, so as not to  give seed to his brother; 
01O 038:010 and that which he hath done is evil in the eyes of  Jehovah, and He putteth him also to death. 
01O 038:011 And Judah saith to Tamar his daughter-in-law, `Abide a  widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son groweth up;'  for he said, `Lest he die -- even he -- like his brethren;' and  Tamar goeth and dwelleth at her father's house. 
01O 038:012 And the days are multiplied, and the daughter of Shuah,  Judah's wife, dieth; and Judah is comforted, and goeth up unto  his sheep-shearers, he and Hirah his friend the Adullamite, to  Timnath. 
01O 038:013 And it is declared to Tamar, saying, `Lo, thy husband's  father is going up to Timnath to shear his flock;' 
01O 038:014 and she turneth aside the garments of her widowhood from  off her, and covereth herself with a vail, and wrappeth herself  up, and sitteth in the opening of Enayim, which [is] by the way  to Timnath, for she hath seen that Shelah hath grown up, and  she hath not been given to him for a wife. 
01O 038:015 And Judah seeth her, and reckoneth her for a harlot, for  she hath covered her face, 
01O 038:016 and he turneth aside unto her by the way, and saith,  `Come, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee,' (for he hath not  known that she [is] his daughter-in-law); and she saith, `What  dost thou give to me, that thou mayest come in unto me?' 
01O 038:017 and he saith, `I -- I send a kid of the goats from the  flock.' And she saith, `Dost thou give a pledge till thou send  [it]?' 
01O 038:018 and he saith, `What [is] the pledge that I give to thee?'  and she saith, `Thy seal, and thy ribbon, and thy staff which  [is] in thy hand;' and he giveth to her, and goeth in unto her,  and she conceiveth to him; 
01O 038:019 and she riseth, and goeth, and turneth aside her vail from  off her, and putteth on the garments of her widowhood. 
01O 038:020 And Judah sendeth the kid of the goats by the hand of his  friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the hand of  the woman, and he hath not found her. 
01O 038:021 And he asketh the men of her place, saying, `Where [is]  the separated one -- she in Enayim, by the way?' and they say,  `There hath not been in this [place] a separated one.' 
01O 038:022 And he turneth back unto Judah, and saith, `I have not  found her; and the men of the place also have said, There hath  not been in this [place] a separated one,' 
01O 038:023 and Judah saith, `Let her take to herself, lest we become  despised; lo, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.' 
01O 038:024 And it cometh to pass about three months [after], that it  is declared to Judah, saying, `Tamar thy daughter-in-law hath  committed fornication; and also, lo, she hath conceived by  fornication:' and Judah saith, `Bring her out -- and she is  burnt.' 
01O 038:025 She is brought out, and she hath sent unto her husband's  father, saying, `To a man whose these [are], I [am] pregnant;'  and she saith, `Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these -- the  seal, and the ribbons, and the staff.' 
01O 038:026 And Judah discerneth and saith, `She hath been more  righteous than I, because that I did not give her to Shelah my  son;' and he hath not added to know her again. 
01O 038:027 And it cometh to pass in the time of her bearing, that lo,  twins [are] in her womb; 
01O 038:028 and it cometh to pass in her bearing, that [one] giveth  out a hand, and the midwife taketh and bindeth on his hand a  scarlet thread, saying, `This hath come out first.' 
01O 038:029 And it cometh to pass as he draweth back his hand, that  lo, his brother hath come out, and she saith, `What! thou hast  broken forth -- on thee [is] the breach;' and he calleth his  name Pharez; 
01O 038:030 and afterwards hath his brother come out, on whose hand  [is] the scarlet thread, and he calleth his name Zarah. 
01O 039:001 And Joseph hath been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, a  eunuch of Pharaoh, head of the executioners, an Egyptian man,  buyeth him out of the hands of the Ishmaelites who have brought  him thither. 
01O 039:002 And Jehovah is with Joseph, and he is a prosperous man, and  he is in the house of his lord the Egyptian, 
01O 039:003 and his lord seeth that Jehovah is with him, and all that  he is doing Jehovah is causing to prosper in his hand, 
01O 039:004 and Joseph findeth grace in his eyes and serveth him, and  he appointeth him over his house, and all that he hath he hath  given into his hand. 
01O 039:005 And it cometh to pass from the time that he hath appointed  him over his house, and over all that he hath, that Jehovah  blesseth the house of the Egyptian for Joseph's sake, and the  blessing of Jehovah is on all that he hath, in the house, and  in the field; 
01O 039:006 and he leaveth all that he hath in the hand of Joseph, and  he hath not known anything that he hath, except the bread which  he is eating. And Joseph is of a fair form, and of a fair  appearance. 
01O 039:007 And it cometh to pass after these things, that his lord's  wife lifteth up her eyes unto Joseph, and saith, `Lie with me;' 
01O 039:008 and he refuseth, and saith unto his lord's wife, `Lo, my  lord hath not known what [is] with me in the house, and all  that he hath he hath given into my hand; 
01O 039:009 none is greater in this house than I, and he hath not  withheld from me anything, except thee, because thou [art] his  wife; and how shall I do this great evil? -- then have I sinned  against God.' 
01O 039:010 And it cometh to pass at her speaking unto Joseph day [by]  day, that he hath not hearkened unto her, to lie near her, to  be with her; 
01O 039:011 and it cometh to pass about this day, that he goeth into  the house to do his work, and there is none of the men of the  house there in the house, 
01O 039:012 and she catcheth him by his garment, saying, `Lie with  me;' and he leaveth his garment in her hand, and fleeth, and  goeth without. 
01O 039:013 And it cometh to pass when she seeth that he hath left his  garment in her hand, and fleeth without, 
01O 039:014 that she calleth for the men of her house, and speaketh to  them, saying, `See, he hath brought in to us a man, a Hebrew,  to play with us; he hath come in unto me, to lie with me, and I  call with a loud voice, 
01O 039:015 and it cometh to pass, when he heareth that I have lifted  up my voice and call, that he leaveth his garment near me, and  fleeth, and goeth without.' 
01O 039:016 And she placeth his garment near her, until the coming in  of his lord unto his house. 
01O 039:017 And she speaketh unto him according to these words,  saying, `The Hebrew servant whom thou hast brought unto us,  hath come in unto me to play with me; 
01O 039:018 and it cometh to pass, when I lift my voice and call, that  he leaveth his garment near me, and fleeth without.' 
01O 039:019 And it cometh to pass when his lord heareth the words of  his wife, which she hath spoken unto him, saying, `According to  these things hath thy servant done to me,' that his anger  burneth; 
01O 039:020 and Joseph's lord taketh him, and putteth him unto the  round-house, a place where the king's prisoners [are] bound;  and he is there in the round-house. 
01O 039:021 And Jehovah is with Joseph, and stretcheth out kindness  unto him, and putteth his grace in the eyes of the chief of the  round-house; 
01O 039:022 and the chief of the round-house giveth into the hand of  Joseph all the prisoners who [are] in the round-house, and of  all that they are doing there, he hath been doer; 
01O 039:023 the chief of the round-house seeth not anything under his  hand, because Jehovah [is] with him, and that which he is doing  Jehovah is causing to prosper. 
01O 040:001 And it cometh to pass, after these things -- the butler of  the king of Egypt and the baker have sinned against their lord,  against the king of Egypt; 
01O 040:002 and Pharaoh is wroth against his two eunuchs, against the  chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers, 
01O 040:003 and giveth them in charge in the house of the chief of the  executioners, unto the round-house, the place where Joseph [is]  a prisoner, 
01O 040:004 and the chief of the executioners chargeth Joseph with  them, and he serveth them; and they are days in charge. 
01O 040:005 And they dream a dream both of them, each his dream in one  night, each according to the interpretation of his dream, the  butler and the baker whom the king of Egypt hath, who [are]  prisoners in the round-house. 
01O 040:006 And Joseph cometh in unto them in the morning, and seeth  them, and lo, they [are] morose; 
01O 040:007 and he asketh Pharaoh's eunuchs who [are] with him in  charge in the house of his lord, saying, `Wherefore [are] your  faces sad to-day?' 
01O 040:008 And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there  is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not  interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.' 
01O 040:009 And the chief of the butlers recounteth his dream to  Joseph, and saith to him, `In my dream, then lo, a vine [is]  before me! 
01O 040:010 and in the vine [are] three branches, and it [is] as it  were flourishing; gone up hath its blossom, its clusters have  ripened grapes; 
01O 040:011 and Pharaoh's cup [is] in my hand, and I take the grapes  and press them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I give the cup into  the hand of Pharaoh.' 
01O 040:012 And Joseph saith to him, `This [is] its interpretation:  the three branches are three days; 
01O 040:013 yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head, and  hath put thee back on thy station, and thou hast given the cup  of Pharaoh into his hand, according to the former custom when  thou wast his butler. 
01O 040:014 `Surely if thou hast remembered me with thee, when it is  well with thee, and hast done (I pray thee) kindness with me,  and hast made mention of me unto Pharaoh, then hast thou  brought me out from this house, 
01O 040:015 for I was really stolen from the land of the Hebrews; and  here also have I done nothing that they have put me in the  pit.' 
01O 040:016 And the chief of the bakers seeth that he hath interpreted  good, and he saith unto Joseph, `I also [am] in a dream, and  lo, three baskets of white bread [are] on my head, 
01O 040:017 and in the uppermost basket [are] of all [kinds] of  Pharaoh's food, work of a baker; and the birds are eating them  out of the basket, from off my head.' 
01O 040:018 And Joseph answereth and saith, `This [is] its  interpretation: the three baskets are three days; 
01O 040:019 yet, within three days doth Pharaoh lift up thy head from  off thee, and hath hanged thee on a tree, and the birds have  eaten thy flesh from off thee.' 
01O 040:020 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, Pharaoh's  birthday, that he maketh a banquet to all his servants, and  lifteth up the head of the chief of the butlers, and the head  of the chief of the bakers among his servants, 
01O 040:021 and he putteth back the chief of the butlers to his  butlership, and he giveth the cup into the hand of Pharaoh; 
01O 040:022 and the chief of the bakers he hath hanged, as Joseph hath  interpreted to them; 
01O 040:023 and the chief of the butlers hath not remembered Joseph,  but forgetteth him. 
01O 041:001 And it cometh to pass, at the end of two years of days that  Pharaoh is dreaming, and lo, he is standing by the River, 
01O 041:002 and lo, from the River coming up are seven kine, of fair  appearance, and fat [in] flesh, and they feed among the reeds; 
01O 041:003 and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them out of  the River, of bad appearance, and lean [in] flesh, and they  stand near the kine on the edge of the River, 
01O 041:004 and the kine of bad appearance and lean [in] flesh eat up  the seven kine of fair appearance, and fat -- and Pharaoh  awaketh. 
01O 041:005 And he sleepeth, and dreameth a second time, and lo, seven  ears are coming up on one stalk, fat and good, 
01O 041:006 and lo, seven ears, thin, and blasted with an east wind,  are springing up after them; 
01O 041:007 and the thin ears swallow the seven fat and full ears --  and Pharaoh awaketh, and lo, a dream. 
01O 041:008 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that his spirit is  moved, and he sendeth and calleth all the scribes of Egypt, and  all its wise men, and Pharaoh recounteth to them his dream, and  there is no interpreter of them to Pharaoh. 
01O 041:009 And the chief of the butlers speaketh with Pharaoh, saying,  `My sin I mention this day: 
01O 041:010 Pharaoh hath been wroth against his servants, and giveth  me into charge in the house of the chief of the executioners,  me and the chief of the bakers; 
01O 041:011 and we dream a dream in one night, I and he, each  according to the interpretation of his dream we have dreamed. 
01O 041:012 And there [is] with us a youth, a Hebrew, servant to the  chief of the executioners, and we recount to him, and he  interpreteth to us our dreams, [to] each according to his dream  hath he interpreted, 
01O 041:013 and it cometh to pass, as he hath interpreted to us so it  hath been, me he put back on my station, and him he hanged.' 
01O 041:014 And Pharaoh sendeth and calleth Joseph, and they cause him  to run out of the pit, and he shaveth, and changeth his  garments, and cometh in unto Pharaoh. 
01O 041:015 And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed,  and there is no interpreter of it, and I -- I have heard  concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to  interpret it,' 
01O 041:016 and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me -- God  doth answer Pharaoh with peace.' 
01O 041:017 And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph: `In my dream, lo, I am  standing by the edge of the River, 
01O 041:018 and lo, out of the River coming up are seven kine, fat  [in] flesh, and of fair form, and they feed among the reeds; 
01O 041:019 and lo, seven other kine are coming up after them, thin,  and of very bad form, and lean [in] flesh; I have not seen like  these in all the land of Egypt for badness. 
01O 041:020 `And the lean and the bad kine eat up the first seven fat  kine, 
01O 041:021 and they come in unto their midst, and it hath not been  known that they have come in unto their midst, and their  appearance [is] bad as at the commencement; and I awake. 
01O 041:022 `And I see in my dream, and lo, seven ears are coming up  on one stalk, full and good; 
01O 041:023 and lo, seven ears, withered, thin, blasted with an east  wind, are springing up after them; 
01O 041:024 and the thin ears swallow the seven good ears; and I tell  unto the scribes, and there is none declaring to me.' 
01O 041:025 And Joseph saith unto Pharaoh, `The dream of Pharaoh is  one: that which God is doing he hath declared to Pharaoh; 
01O 041:026 the seven good kine are seven years, and the seven good  ears are seven years, the dream is one; 
01O 041:027 and the seven thin and bad kine which are coming up after  them are seven years, and the seven empty ears, blasted with an  east wind, are seven years of famine; 
01O 041:028 this [is] the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: That  which God is doing, he hath shewn Pharaoh. 
01O 041:029 `Lo, seven years are coming of great abundance in all the  land of Egypt, 
01O 041:030 and seven years of famine have arisen after them, and all  the plenty is forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine  hath finished the land, 
01O 041:031 and the plenty is not known in the land because of that  famine afterwards, for it [is] very grievous. 
01O 041:032 `And because of the repeating of the dream unto Pharaoh  twice, surely the thing is established by God, and God is  hastening to do it. 
01O 041:033 `And now, let Pharaoh provide a man, intelligent and wise,  and set him over the land of Egypt; 
01O 041:034 let Pharaoh make and appoint overseers over the land, and  receive a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of  plenty, 
01O 041:035 and they gather all the food of these good years that are  coming, and heap up corn under the hand of Pharaoh -- food in  the cities; and they have kept [it], 
01O 041:036 and the food hath been for a store for the land, for the  seven years of famine which are in the land of Egypt; and the  land is cut off by the famine.' 
01O 041:037 And the thing is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the  eyes of all his servants, 
01O 041:038 and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like  this, a man in whom the spirit of God [is]?' 
01O 041:039 and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee  to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou; 
01O 041:040 thou -- thou art over my house, and at thy mouth do all my  people kiss; only in the throne I am greater than thou.' 
01O 041:041 And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `See, I have put thee over  all the land of Egypt.' 
01O 041:042 And Pharaoh turneth aside his seal-ring from off his hand,  and putteth it on the hand of Joseph, and clotheth him [with]  garments of fine linen, and placeth a chain of gold on his  neck, 
01O 041:043 and causeth him to ride in the second chariot which he  hath, and they proclaim before him, `Bow the knee!' and -- to  put him over all the land of Egypt. 
01O 041:044 And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `I [am] Pharaoh, and  without thee a man doth not lift up his hand and his foot in  all the land of Egypt;' 
01O 041:045 and Pharaoh calleth Joseph's name Zaphnath-Paaneah, and he  giveth to him Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On,  for a wife, and Joseph goeth out over the land of Egypt. 
01O 041:046 And Joseph [is] a son of thirty years in his standing  before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and Joseph goeth out from the  presence of Pharaoh, and passeth over through all the land of  Egypt; 
01O 041:047 and the land maketh in the seven years of plenty by  handfuls. 
01O 041:048 And he gathereth all the food of the seven years which  have been in the land of Egypt, and putteth food in the cities;  the food of the field which [is] round about [each] city hath  he put in its midst; 
01O 041:049 and Joseph gathereth corn as sand of the sea, multiplying  exceedingly, until that he hath ceased to number, for there is  no number. 
01O 041:050 And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine  cometh, whom Asenath daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On,  hath borne to him, 
01O 041:051 and Joseph calleth the name of the first-born Manasseh:  `for, God hath made me to forget all my labour, and all the  house of my father;' 
01O 041:052 and the name of the second he hath called Ephraim: `for,  God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of mine  affliction.' 
01O 041:053 And the seven years of plenty are completed which have  been in the land of Egypt, 
01O 041:054 and the seven years of famine begin to come, as Joseph  said, and famine is in all the lands, but in all the land of  Egypt hath been bread; 
01O 041:055 and all the land of Egypt is famished, and the people  crieth unto Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh saith to all the  Egyptians, `Go unto Joseph; that which he saith to you -- do.' 
01O 041:056 And the famine has been over all the face of the land, and  Joseph openeth all [places] which have [corn] in them, and  selleth to the Egyptians; and the famine is severe in the land  of Egypt, 
01O 041:057 and all the earth hath come to Egypt, to buy, unto Joseph,  for the famine was severe in all the earth. 
01O 042:001 And Jacob seeth that there is corn in Egypt, and Jacob  saith to his sons, `Why do you look at each other?' 
01O 042:002 he saith also, `Lo, I have heard that there is corn in  Egypt, go down thither, and buy for us from thence, and we live  and do not die;' 
01O 042:003 and the ten brethren of Joseph go down to buy corn in  Egypt, 
01O 042:004 and Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob hath not sent with  his brethren, for he said, `Lest mischief meet him.' 
01O 042:005 And the sons of Israel come to buy in the midst of those  coming, for the famine hath been in the land of Canaan, 
01O 042:006 and Joseph is the ruler over the land, he who is selling to  all the people of the land, and Joseph's brethren come and bow  themselves to him -- face to the earth. 
01O 042:007 And Joseph seeth his brethren, and discerneth them, and  maketh himself strange unto them, and speaketh with them sharp  things, and saith unto them, `From whence have ye come?' and  they say, `From the land of Canaan -- to buy food.' 
01O 042:008 And Joseph discerneth his brethren, but they have not  discerned him, 
01O 042:009 and Joseph remembereth the dreams which he dreamed of them,  and saith unto them, `Ye [are] spies; to see the nakedness of  the land ye have come.' 
01O 042:010 And they say unto him, `No, my lord, but thy servants have  come to buy food; 
01O 042:011 we [are] all of us sons of one man, we [are] right men;  thy servants have not been spies;' 
01O 042:012 and he saith unto them, `No, but the nakedness of the land  ye have come to see;' 
01O 042:013 and they say, `Thy servants [are] twelve brethren; we  [are] sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and lo, the young  one [is] with our father to-day, and the one is not.' 
01O 042:014 And Joseph saith unto them, `This [is] that which I have  spoken unto you, saying, Ye [are] spies, 
01O 042:015 by this ye are proved: Pharaoh liveth! if ye go out from  this -- except by your young brother coming hither; 
01O 042:016 send one of you, and let him bring your brother, and ye,  remain ye bound, and let your words be proved, whether truth be  with you: and if not -- Pharaoh liveth! surely ye [are] spies;' 
01O 042:017 and he removeth them unto charge three days. 
01O 042:018 And Joseph saith unto them on the third day, `This do and  live; God I fear! 
01O 042:019 if ye [are] right men, let one of your brethren be bound  in the house of your ward, and ye, go, carry in corn [for] the  famine of your houses, 
01O 042:020 and your young brother ye bring unto me, and your words  are established, and ye die not;' and they do so. 
01O 042:021 And they say one unto another, `Verily we [are] guilty  concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his  soul, in his making supplication unto us, and we did not  hearken: therefore hath this distress come upon us.' 
01O 042:022 And Reuben answereth them, saying, `Spake I not unto you,  saying, Sin not against the lad? and ye hearkened not; and his  blood also, lo, it is required.' 
01O 042:023 And they have not known that Joseph understandeth, for the  interpreter [is] between them; 
01O 042:024 and he turneth round from them, and weepeth, and turneth  back unto them, and speaketh unto them, and taketh from them  Simeon, and bindeth him before their eyes. 
01O 042:025 And Joseph commandeth, and they fill their vessels [with]  corn, also to put back the money of each unto his sack, and to  give to them provision for the way; and one doth to them so. 
01O 042:026 And they lift up their corn upon their asses, and go from  thence, 
01O 042:027 and the one openeth his sack to give provender to his ass  at a lodging-place, and he seeth his money, and lo, it [is] in  the mouth of his bag, 
01O 042:028 and he saith unto his brethren, `My money hath been put  back, and also, lo, in my bag:' and their heart goeth out, and  they tremble, one to another saying, `What [is] this God hath  done to us!' 
01O 042:029 And they come in unto Jacob their father, to the land of  Canaan, and they declare to him all the things meeting them,  saying, 
01O 042:030 `The man, the lord of the land, hath spoken with us sharp  things, and maketh us as spies of the land; 
01O 042:031 and we say unto him, We [are] right men, we have not been  spies, 
01O 042:032 we [are] twelve brethren, sons of our father, the one is  not, and the young one [is] to-day with our father in the land  of Canaan. 
01O 042:033 `And the man, the lord of the land, saith unto us, By this  I know that ye [are] right men -- one of your brethren leave  with me, and [for] the famine of your houses take ye and go, 
01O 042:034 and bring your young brother unto me, and I know that ye  [are] not spies, but ye [are] right men; your brother I give to  you, and ye trade with the land.' 
01O 042:035 And it cometh to pass, they are emptying their sacks, and  lo, the bundle of each man's silver [is] in his sack, and they  see their bundles of silver, they and their father, and are  afraid; 
01O 042:036 and Jacob their father saith unto them, `Me ye have  bereaved; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and Benjamin ye  take -- against me have been all these.' 
01O 042:037 And Reuben speaketh unto his father, saying, `My two sons  thou dost put to death, if I bring him not in unto thee; give  him into my hand, and I -- I bring him back unto thee;' 
01O 042:038 and he saith, `My son doth not go down with you, for his  brother [is] dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief  hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought  down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.' 
01O 043:001 And the famine [is] severe in the land; 
01O 043:002 and it cometh to pass, when they have finished eating the  corn which they brought from Egypt, that their father saith  unto them, `Turn back, buy for us a little food.' 
01O 043:003 And Judah speaketh unto him, saying, `The man protesting  protested to us, saying, Ye do not see my face without your  brother [being] with you; 
01O 043:004 if thou art sending our brother with us, we go down, and  buy for thee food, 
01O 043:005 and if thou art not sending -- we do not go down, for the  man said unto us, Ye do not see my face without your brother  [being] with you.' 
01O 043:006 And Israel saith, `Why did ye evil to me, by declaring to  the man that ye had yet a brother?' 
01O 043:007 and they say, `The man asked diligently concerning us, and  concerning our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have  ye a brother? and we declare to him according to the tenor of  these things; do we certainly know that he will say, Bring down  your brother?' 
01O 043:008 And Judah saith unto Israel his father, `Send the youth  with me, and we arise, and go, and live, and do not die, both  we, and thou, and our infants. 
01O 043:009 I -- I am surety [for] him, from my hand thou dost require  him; if I have not brought him in unto thee, and set him before  thee -- then I have sinned against thee all the days; 
01O 043:010 for if we had not lingered, surely now we had returned  these two times.' 
01O 043:011 And Israel their father saith unto them, `If so, now, this  do: take of the praised thing of the land in your vessels, and  take down to the man a present, a little balm, and a little  honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds; 
01O 043:012 and double money take in your hand, even the money which  is brought back in the mouth of your bags, ye take back in your  hand, it may be it [is] an oversight. 
01O 043:013 `And take your brother, and rise, turn back unto the man; 
01O 043:014 and God Almighty give to you mercies before the man, so  that he hath sent to you your other brother and Benjamin; and  I, when I am bereaved -- I am bereaved.' 
01O 043:015 And the men take this present, double money also they have  taken in their hand, and Benjamin; and they rise, and go down  to Egypt, and stand before Joseph; 
01O 043:016 and Joseph seeth Benjamin with them, and saith to him who  [is] over his house, `Bring the men into the house, and  slaughter an animal, and make ready, for with me do the men eat  at noon.' 
01O 043:017 And the man doth as Joseph hath said, and the man bringeth  in the men into the house of Joseph, 
01O 043:018 and the men are afraid because they have been brought into  the house of Joseph, and they say, `For the matter of the money  which was put back in our bags at the commencement are we  brought in -- to roll himself upon us, and to throw himself on  us, and to take us for servants -- our asses also.' 
01O 043:019 And they come nigh unto the man who [is] over the house of  Joseph, and speak unto him at the opening of the house, 
01O 043:020 and say, `O, my lord, we really come down at the  commencement to buy food; 
01O 043:021 and it cometh to pass, when we have come in unto the  lodging-place, and open our bags, that lo, each one's money  [is] in the mouth of his bag, our money in its weight, and we  bring it back in our hand; 
01O 043:022 and other money have we brought down in our hand to buy  food; we have not known who put our money in our bags.' 
01O 043:023 And he saith, `Peace to you, fear not: your God and the  God of your father hath given to you hidden treasure in your  bags, your money came unto me;' and he bringeth out Simeon unto  them. 
01O 043:024 And the man bringeth in the men into Joseph's house, and  giveth water, and they wash their feet; and he giveth provender  for their asses, 
01O 043:025 and they prepare the present until the coming of Joseph at  noon, for they have heard that there they do eat bread. 
01O 043:026 And Joseph cometh into the house, and they bring to him  the present which [is] in their hand, into the house, and bow  themselves to him, to the earth; 
01O 043:027 and he asketh of them of peace, and saith, `Is your father  well? the aged man of whom ye have spoken, is he yet alive?' 
01O 043:028 and they say, `Thy servant our father [is] well, he is yet  alive;' and they bow, and do obeisance. 
01O 043:029 And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Benjamin his  brother, his mother's son, and saith, `Is this your young  brother, of whom ye have spoken unto me?' and he saith, `God  favour thee, my son.' 
01O 043:030 And Joseph hasteth, for his bowels have been moved for his  brother, and he seeketh to weep, and entereth the inner  chamber, and weepeth there; 
01O 043:031 and he washeth his face, and goeth out, and refraineth  himself, and saith, `Place bread.' 
01O 043:032 And they place for him by himself, and for them by  themselves, and for the Egyptians who are eating with him by  themselves: for the Egyptians are unable to eat bread with the  Hebrews, for it [is] an abomination to the Egyptians. 
01O 043:033 And they sit before him, the first-born according to his  birthright, and the young one according to his youth, and the  men wonder one at another; 
01O 043:034 and he lifteth up gifts from before him unto them, and the  gift of Benjamin is five hands more than the gifts of all of  them; and they drink, yea, they drink abundantly with him. 
01O 044:001 And he commandeth him who [is] over his house, saying,  `Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as they are able to  bear, and put the money of each in the mouth of his bag; 
01O 044:002 and my cup, the silver cup, thou dost put in the mouth of  the bag of the young one, and his corn-money;' and he doth  according to the word of Joseph which he hath spoken. 
01O 044:003 The morning is bright, and the men have been sent away,  they and their asses -- 
01O 044:004 they have gone out of the city -- they have not gone far  off -- and Joseph hath said to him who [is] over his house,  `Rise, pursue after the men; and thou hast overtaken them, and  thou hast said unto them, Why have ye recompensed evil for  good? 
01O 044:005 Is not this that with which my lord drinketh? and he  observeth diligently with it; ye have done evil [in] that which  ye have done.' 
01O 044:006 And he overtaketh them, and speaketh unto them these words, 
01O 044:007 and they say unto him, `Why doth my lord speak according to  these words? far be it from thy servants to do according to  this word; 
01O 044:008 lo, the money which we found in the mouth of our bags we  brought back unto thee from the land of Canaan, and how do we  steal from the house of thy lord silver or gold? 
01O 044:009 with whomsoever of thy servants it is found, he hath died,  and we also are to my lord for servants.' 
01O 044:010 And he saith, `Now, also, according to your words, so it  [is]; he with whom it is found becometh my servant, and ye are  acquitted;' 
01O 044:011 and they hasten and take down each his bag to the earth,  and each openeth his bag; 
01O 044:012 and he searcheth -- at the eldest he hath begun, and at  the youngest he hath completed -- and the cup is found in the  bag of Benjamin; 
01O 044:013 and they rend their garments, and each ladeth his ass, and  they turn back to the city. 
01O 044:014 And Judah -- his brethren also -- cometh in unto the house  of Joseph, and he is yet there, and they fall before him to the  earth; 
01O 044:015 and Joseph saith to them, `What [is] this deed that ye  have done? have ye not known that a man like me doth diligently  observe?' 
01O 044:016 And Judah saith, `What do we say to my lord? what do we  speak? and what -- do we justify ourselves? God hath found out  the iniquity of thy servants; lo, we [are] servants to my lord,  both we, and he in whose hand the cup hath been found;' 
01O 044:017 and he saith, `Far be it from me to do this; the man in  whose hand the cup hath been found, he becometh my servant; and  ye, go ye up in peace unto your father.' 
01O 044:018 And Judah cometh nigh unto him, and saith, `O, my lord,  let thy servant speak, I pray thee, a word in the ears of my  lord, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant -- for  thou art as Pharaoh. 
01O 044:019 My lord hath asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father  or brother? 
01O 044:020 and we say unto my lord, We have a father, an aged one,  and a child of old age, a little one; and his brother died, and  he is left alone of his mother, and his father hath loved him. 
01O 044:021 `And thou sayest unto thy servants, Bring him down unto  me, and I set mine eye upon him; 
01O 044:022 and we say unto my lord, The youth is not able to leave  his father, when he hath left his father, then he hath died; 
01O 044:023 and thou sayest unto thy servants, If your young brother  come not down with you, ye add not to see my face. 
01O 044:024 `And it cometh to pass, that we have come up unto thy  servant my father, that we declare to him the words of my lord; 
01O 044:025 and our father saith, Turn back, buy for us a little food, 
01O 044:026 and we say, We are not able to go down; if our young  brother is with us, then we have gone down; for we are not able  to see the man's face, and our young brother not with us. 
01O 044:027 `And thy servant my father saith unto us, Ye -- ye have  known that two did my wife bare to me, 
01O 044:028 and the one goeth out from me, and I say, Surely he is  torn -- torn! and I have not seen him since; 
01O 044:029 when ye have taken also this from my presence, and  mischief hath met him, then ye have brought down my grey hairs  with evil to sheol. 
01O 044:030 `And now, at my coming in unto thy servant my father, and  the youth not with us (and his soul is bound up in his soul), 
01O 044:031 then it hath come to pass when he seeth that the youth is  not, that he hath died, and thy servants have brought down the  grey hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to sheol; 
01O 044:032 for thy servant obtained the youth by surety from my  father, saying, If I bring him not in unto thee -- then I have  sinned against my father all the days. 
01O 044:033 `And now, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of  the youth a servant to my lord, and the youth goeth up with his  brethren, 
01O 044:034 for how do I go up unto my father, and the youth not with  me? lest I look on the evil which doth find my father.' 
01O 045:001 And Joseph hath not been able to refrain himself before all  those standing by him, and he calleth, `Put out every man from  me;' and no man hath stood with him when Joseph maketh himself  known unto his brethren, 
01O 045:002 and he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians  hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth. 
01O 045:003 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I [am] Joseph, is my  father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to  answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence. 
01O 045:004 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `Come nigh unto me, I  pray you,' and they come nigh; and he saith, `I [am] Joseph,  your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt; 
01O 045:005 and now, be not grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your  eyes that ye sold me hither, for to preserve life hath God sent  me before you. 
01O 045:006 `Because these two years the famine [is] in the heart of  the land, and yet [are] five years, [in] which there is neither  ploughing nor harvest; 
01O 045:007 and God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in  the land, and to give life to you by a great escape; 
01O 045:008 and now, ye -- ye have not sent me hither, but God, and He  doth set me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his  house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 
01O 045:009 `Haste, and go up unto my father, then ye have said to him,  Thus said Joseph thy son, God hath set me for lord to all  Egypt; come down unto me, stay not, 
01O 045:010 and thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near  unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock,  and thy herd, and all that thou hast, 
01O 045:011 and I have nourished thee there -- for yet [are] five  years of famine -- lest thou become poor, thou and thy  household, and all that thou hast. 
01O 045:012 `And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother  Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which is speaking unto you; 
01O 045:013 and ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt,  and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought  down my father hither.' 
01O 045:014 And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and  weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck; 
01O 045:015 and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them;  and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him. 
01O 045:016 And the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh,  saying, `Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in  the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, 
01O 045:017 and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `Say unto thy brethren,  This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of  Canaan, 
01O 045:018 and take your father, and your households, and come unto  me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye  the fat of the land. 
01O 045:019 `Yea, thou -- thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take  for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your  infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father,  and come; 
01O 045:020 and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of  all the land of Egypt [is] yours.' 
01O 045:021 And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to  them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision  for the way; 
01O 045:022 to all of them hath he given -- to each changes of  garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred  silverlings, and five changes of garments; 
01O 045:023 and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of  the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and  bread, even food for his father for the way. 
01O 045:024 And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he  saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.' 
01O 045:025 And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of  Canaan, unto Jacob their father, 
01O 045:026 and they declare to him, saying, `Joseph [is] yet alive,'  and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his  heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them. 
01O 045:027 And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he  hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph  hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob  their father; 
01O 045:028 and Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I  go and see him before I die.' 
01O 046:001 And Israel journeyeth, and all that he hath, and cometh in  to Beer-Sheba, and sacrificeth sacrifices to the God of his  father Isaac; 
01O 046:002 and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and  saith, `Jacob, Jacob;' and he saith, `Here [am] I.' 
01O 046:003 And He saith, `I [am] God, God of thy father, be not afraid  of going down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee  there; 
01O 046:004 I -- I go down with thee to Egypt, and I -- I also  certainly bring thee up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine  eyes.' 
01O 046:005 And Jacob riseth from Beer-Sheba, and the sons of Israel  bear away Jacob their father, And their infants, and their  wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh hath sent to bear him, 
01O 046:006 and they take their cattle, and their goods which they have  acquired in the land of Canaan, and come into Egypt -- Jacob,  and all his seed with him, 
01O 046:007 his sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and  his sons' daughters, yea, all his seed he brought with him into  Egypt. 
01O 046:008 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are  coming into Egypt: Jacob and his sons, Jacob's first-born,  Reuben. 
01O 046:009 And sons of Reuben: Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and  Carmi. 
01O 046:010 And sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and  Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul son of the Canaanitess. 
01O 046:011 And sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 
01O 046:012 And sons of Judah: Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez,  and Zarah, (and Er and Onan die in the land of Canaan.) And  sons of Pharez are Hezron and Hamul. 
01O 046:013 And sons of Issachar: Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and  Shimron. 
01O 046:014 And sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel. 
01O 046:015 These [are] sons of Leah whom she bare to Jacob in  Padan-Aram, and Dinah his daughter; all the persons of his sons  and his daughters [are] thirty and three. 
01O 046:016 And sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon,  Eri, and Arodi, and Areli. 
01O 046:017 And sons of Asher: Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and  Beriah, and Serah their sister. And sons of Beriah: Heber and  Malchiel. 
01O 046:018 These [are] sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his  daughter, and she beareth these to Jacob -- sixteen persons. 
01O 046:019 Sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin. 
01O 046:020 And born to Joseph in the land of Egypt (whom Asenath  daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On, hath borne to him) [are]  Manasseh and Ephraim. 
01O 046:021 And sons of Benjamin: Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera,  and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard. 
01O 046:022 These [are] sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob; all  the persons [are] fourteen. 
01O 046:023 And sons of Dan: Hushim. 
01O 046:024 And sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and  Shillem. 
01O 046:025 These [are] sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his  daughter; and she beareth these to Jacob -- all the persons  [are] seven. 
01O 046:026 All the persons who are coming to Jacob to Egypt, coming  out of his thigh, apart from the wives of Jacob's sons, all the  persons [are] sixty and six. 
01O 046:027 And the sons of Joseph who have been born to him in Egypt  [are] two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who  are coming into Egypt [are] seventy. 
01O 046:028 And Judah he hath sent before him unto Joseph, to direct  before him to Goshen, and they come into the land of Goshen; 
01O 046:029 and Joseph harnesseth his chariot, and goeth up to meet  Israel his father, to Goshen, and appeareth unto him, and  falleth on his neck, and weepeth on his neck again; 
01O 046:030 and Israel saith unto Joseph, `Let me die this time, after  my seeing thy face, for thou [art] yet alive.' 
01O 046:031 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, and unto the house of  his father, `I go up, and declare to Pharaoh, and say unto him,  My brethren, and the house of my father who [are] in the land  of Canaan have come in unto me; 
01O 046:032 and the men [are] feeders of a flock, for they have been  men of cattle; and their flock, and their herd, and all that  they have, they have brought.' 
01O 046:033 `And it hath come to pass when Pharaoh calleth for you,  and hath said, What [are] your works? 
01O 046:034 that ye have said, Thy servants have been men of cattle  from our youth, even until now, both we and our fathers, -- in  order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for the  abomination of the Egyptians is every one feeding a flock.' 
01O 047:001 And Joseph cometh, and declareth to Pharaoh, and saith, `My  father, and my brethren, and their flock, and their herd, and  all they have, have come from the land of Canaan, and lo, they  [are] in the land of Goshen.' 
01O 047:002 And out of his brethren he hath taken five men, and setteth  them before Pharaoh; 
01O 047:003 and Pharaoh saith unto his brethren, `What [are] your  works?' and they say unto Pharaoh, `Thy servants [are] feeders  of a flock, both we and our fathers;' 
01O 047:004 and they say unto Pharaoh, `To sojourn in the land we have  come, for there is no pasture for the flock which thy servants  have, for grievous [is] the famine in the land of Canaan; and  now, let thy servants, we pray thee, dwell in the land of  Goshen.' 
01O 047:005 And Pharaoh speaketh unto Joseph, saying, `Thy father and  thy brethren have come unto thee: 
01O 047:006 the land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land  cause thy father and thy brethren to dwell -- they dwell in the  land of Goshen, and if thou hast known, and there are among  them men of ability, then thou hast set them heads over the  cattle I have.' 
01O 047:007 And Joseph bringeth in Jacob his father, and causeth him to  stand before Pharaoh; and Jacob blesseth Pharaoh. 
01O 047:008 And Pharaoh saith unto Jacob, `How many [are] the days of  the years of thy life?' 
01O 047:009 And Jacob saith unto Pharaoh, `The days of the years of my  sojournings [are] an hundred and thirty years; few and evil  have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not  reached the days of the years of the life of my fathers, in the  days of their sojournings.' 
01O 047:010 And Jacob blesseth Pharaoh, and goeth out from before  Pharaoh. 
01O 047:011 And Joseph settleth his father and his brethren, and  giveth to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best  of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh commanded; 
01O 047:012 and Joseph nourisheth his father, and his brethren, and  all the house of his father [with] bread, according to the  mouth of the infants. 
01O 047:013 And there is no bread in all the land, for the famine [is]  very grievous, and the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan are  feeble because of the famine; 
01O 047:014 and Joseph gathereth all the silver that is found in the  land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn that  they are buying, and Joseph bringeth the silver into the house  of Pharaoh. 
01O 047:015 And the silver is consumed out of the land of Egypt, and  out of the land of Canaan, and all the Egyptians come in unto  Joseph, saying, `Give to us bread -- why do we die before thee,  though the money hath ceased?' 
01O 047:016 and Joseph saith, `Give your cattle; and I give to you for  your cattle, if the money hath ceased.' 
01O 047:017 And they bring in their cattle unto Joseph, and Joseph  giveth to them bread, for the horses, and for the cattle of the  flock, and for the cattle of the herd, and for the asses; and  he tendeth them with bread, for all their cattle, during that  year. 
01O 047:018 And that year is finished, and they come in unto him on  the second year, and say to him, `We do not hide from my lord,  that since the money hath been finished, and possession of the  cattle [is] unto my lord, there hath not been left before my  lord save our bodies, and our ground; 
01O 047:019 why do we die before thine eyes, both we and our ground?  buy us and our ground for bread, and we and our ground are  servants to Pharaoh; and give seed, and we live, and die not,  and the ground is not desolate.' 
01O 047:020 And Joseph buyeth all the ground of Egypt for Pharaoh, for  the Egyptians have sold each his field, for the famine hath been  severe upon them, and the land becometh Pharaoh's; 
01O 047:021 as to the people he hath removed them to cities from the  [one] end of the border of Egypt even unto its [other] end. 
01O 047:022 Only the ground of the priests he hath not bought, for the  priests have a portion from Pharaoh, and they have eaten their  portion which Pharaoh hath given to them, therefore they have  not sold their ground. 
01O 047:023 And Joseph saith unto the people, `Lo, I have bought you  to-day and your ground for Pharaoh; lo, seed for you, and ye  have sown the ground, 
01O 047:024 and it hath come to pass in the increases, that ye have  given a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the parts are for  yourselves, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for  those who [are] in your houses, and for food for your infants.' 
01O 047:025 And they say, `Thou hast revived us; we find grace in the  eyes of my lord, and have been servants to Pharaoh;' 
01O 047:026 and Joseph setteth it for a statute unto this day,  concerning the ground of Egypt, [that] Pharaoh hath a fifth;  only the ground of the priests alone hath not become Pharaoh's. 
01O 047:027 And Israel dwelleth in the land of Egypt, in the land of  Goshen, and they have possession in it, and are fruitful, and  multiply exceedingly; 
01O 047:028 and Jacob liveth in the land of Egypt seventeen years, and  the days of Jacob, the years of his life, are an hundred and  forty and seven years. 
01O 047:029 And the days of Israel are near to die, and he calleth for  his son, for Joseph, and saith to him, `If, I pray thee, I have  found grace in thine eyes, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my  thigh, and thou hast done with me kindness and truth; bury me  not, I pray thee, in Egypt, 
01O 047:030 and I have lain with my fathers, and thou hast borne me  out of Egypt, and buried me in their burying-place.' And he  saith, `I -- I do according to thy word;' 
01O 047:031 and he saith, `Swear to me;' and he sweareth to him, and  Israel boweth himself on the head of the bed. 
01O 048:001 And it cometh to pass, after these things, that [one] saith  to Joseph, `Lo, thy father is sick;' and he taketh his two sons  with him, Manasseh and Ephraim. 
01O 048:002 And [one] declareth to Jacob, and saith, `Lo, thy son  Joseph is coming unto thee;' and Israel doth strengthen  himself, and sit upon the bed. 
01O 048:003 And Jacob saith unto Joseph, `God Almighty hath appeared  unto me, in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blesseth me, 
01O 048:004 and saith unto me, Lo, I am making thee fruitful, and have  multiplied thee, and given thee for an assembly of peoples, and  given this land to thy seed after thee, a possession  age-during. 
01O 048:005 `And now, thy two sons, who are born to thee in the land of  Egypt, before my coming unto thee to Egypt, mine they [are];  Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon they are mine; 
01O 048:006 and thy family which thou hast begotten after them are  thine; by the name of their brethren they are called in their  inheritance. 
01O 048:007 `And I -- in my coming in from Padan-[Aram] Rachel hath  died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, while yet a  kibrath of land to enter Ephrata, and I bury her there in the  way of Ephrata, which [is] Bethlehem.' 
01O 048:008 And Israel seeth the sons of Joseph, and saith, `Who [are]  these?' 
01O 048:009 and Joseph saith unto his father, `They [are] my sons, whom  God hath given to me in this [place];' and he saith, `Bring  them, I pray thee, unto me, and I bless them.' 
01O 048:010 And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is  unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he  kisseth them, and cleaveth to them; 
01O 048:011 and Israel saith unto Joseph, `To see thy face I had not  thought, and lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.' 
01O 048:012 And Joseph bringeth them out from between his knees, and  boweth himself on his face to the earth; 
01O 048:013 and Joseph taketh them both, Ephraim in his right hand  towards Israel's left, and Manasseh in his left towards  Israel's right, and bringeth [them] nigh to him. 
01O 048:014 And Israel putteth out his right hand, and placeth [it]  upon the head of Ephraim, who [is] the younger, and his left  hand upon the head of Manasseh; he hath guided his hands  wisely, for Manasseh [is] the first-born. 
01O 048:015 And he blesseth Joseph, and saith, `God, before whom my  fathers Abraham and Isaac walked habitually: God who is feeding  me from my being unto this day: 
01O 048:016 the Messenger who is redeeming me from all evil doth bless  the youths, and my name is called upon them, and the name of my  fathers Abraham and Isaac; and they increase into a multitude  in the midst of the land.' 
01O 048:017 And Joseph seeth that his father setteth his right hand on  the head of Ephraim, and it is wrong in his eyes, and he  supporteth the hand of his father to turn it aside from off the  head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh; 
01O 048:018 and Joseph saith unto his father, `Not so, my father, for  this [is] the first-born; set thy right hand on his head.' 
01O 048:019 And his father refuseth, and saith, `I have known, my son,  I have known; he also becometh a people, and he also is great,  and yet, his young brother is greater than he, and his seed is  the fulness of the nations;' 
01O 048:020 and he blesseth them in that day, saying, `By thee doth  Israel bless, saying, God set thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh;'  and he setteth Ephraim before Manasseh. 
01O 048:021 And Israel saith unto Joseph, `Lo, I am dying, and God  hath been with you, and hath brought you back unto the land of  your fathers; 
01O 048:022 and I -- I have given to thee one portion above thy  brethren, which I have taken out of the hand of the Amorite by  my sword and by my bow.' 
01O 049:001 And Jacob calleth unto his sons and saith, `Be gathered  together, and I declare to you that which doth happen with you  in the latter end of the days. 
01O 049:002 `Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And hearken unto  Israel your father. 
01O 049:003 Reuben! my first-born thou, My power, and beginning of my  strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of  strength; 
01O 049:004 Unstable as water, thou art not abundant; For thou hast  gone up thy father's bed; Then thou hast polluted: My couch he  went up! 
01O 049:005 Simeon and Levi [are] brethren! Instruments of violence --  their espousals! 
01O 049:006 Into their secret, come not, O my soul! Unto their assembly  be not united, O mine honour; For in their anger they slew a  man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince. 
01O 049:007 Cursed [is] their anger, for [it is] fierce, And their  wrath, for [it is] sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter  them in Israel. 
01O 049:008 Judah! thou -- thy brethren praise thee! Thy hand [is] on  the neck of thine enemies, Sons of thy father bow themselves to  thee. 
01O 049:009 A lion's whelp [is] Judah, For prey, my son, thou hast gone  up; He hath bent, he hath crouched as a lion, And as a lioness;  who causeth him to arise? 
01O 049:010 The sceptre turneth not aside from Judah, And a lawgiver  from between his feet, Till his Seed come; And his [is] the  obedience of peoples. 
01O 049:011 Binding to the vine his ass, And to the choice vine the  colt of his ass, He hath washed in wine his clothing, And in  the blood of grapes his covering; 
01O 049:012 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk! 
01O 049:013 Zebulun at a haven of the seas doth dwell, And he [is] for  a haven of ships; And his side [is] unto Zidon. 
01O 049:014 Issacher [is] a strong ass, Crouching between the two  folds; 
01O 049:015 And he seeth rest that [it is] good, And the land that [it  is] pleasant, And he inclineth his shoulder to bear, And is to  tribute a servant. 
01O 049:016 Dan doth judge his people, As one of the tribes of Israel; 
01O 049:017 Dan is a serpent by the way, An adder by the path, Which  is biting the horse's heels, And its rider falleth backward. 
01O 049:018 For Thy salvation I have waited, Jehovah! 
01O 049:019 Gad! a troop assaulteth him, But he assaulteth last. 
01O 049:020 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he giveth dainties of  a king. 
01O 049:021 Naphtali [is] a hind sent away, Who is giving beauteous  young ones. 
01O 049:022 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain,  Daughters step over the wall; 
01O 049:023 And embitter him -- yea, they have striven, Yea, hate him  do archers; 
01O 049:024 And his bow abideth in strength, And strengthened are the  arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob,  Whence is a shepherd, a son of Israel. 
01O 049:025 By the God of thy father who helpeth thee, And the Mighty  One who blesseth thee, Blessings of the heavens from above,  Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and  womb; -- 
01O 049:026 Thy father's blessings have been mighty Above the  blessings of my progenitors, Unto the limit of the heights  age-during They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown  of the one Separate [from] his brethren. 
01O 049:027 Benjamin! a wolf teareth; In the morning he eateth prey,  And at evening he apportioneth spoil.' 
01O 049:028 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel, and this [is]  that which their father hath spoken unto them, and he blesseth  them; each according to his blessing he hath blessed them. 
01O 049:029 And he commandeth them, and saith unto them, `I am being  gathered unto my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave  which [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite; 
01O 049:030 in the cave which [is] in the field of Machpelah, which  [is] on the front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which  Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a  possession of a burying-place; 
01O 049:031 (there they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they  buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah); 
01O 049:032 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in  it, [is] from Sons of Heth.' 
01O 049:033 And Jacob finisheth commanding his sons, and gathereth up  his feet unto the bed, and expireth, and is gathered unto his  people. 
01O 050:001 And Joseph falleth on his father's face, and weepeth over  him, and kisseth him; 
01O 050:002 and Joseph commandeth his servants, the physicians, to  embalm his father, and the physicians embalm Israel; 
01O 050:003 and they fulfil for him forty days, for so they fulfil the  days of the embalmed, and the Egyptians weep for him seventy  days. 
01O 050:004 And the days of his weeping pass away, and Joseph speaketh  unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, `If, I pray you, I have  found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of  Pharaoh, saying, 
01O 050:005 My father caused me to swear, saying, Lo, I am dying; in my  burying-place which I have prepared for myself in the land of  Canaan, there dost thou bury me; and now, let me go up, I pray  thee, and bury my father, and return;' 
01O 050:006 and Pharaoh saith, `Go up and bury thy father, as he caused  thee to swear.' 
01O 050:007 And Joseph goeth up to bury his father, and go up with him  do all the servants of Pharaoh, elders of his house, and all  the elders of the land of Egypt, 
01O 050:008 and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and the  house of his father; only their infants, and their flock, and  their herd, have they left in the land of Goshen; 
01O 050:009 and there go up with him both chariot and horsemen, and the  camp is very great. 
01O 050:010 And they come unto the threshing-floor of Atad, which [is]  beyond the Jordan, and they lament there, a lamentation great  and very grievous; and he maketh for his father a mourning  seven days, 
01O 050:011 and the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, see the  mourning in the threshing-floor of Atad, and say, `A grievous  mourning [is] this to the Egyptians;' therefore hath [one]  called its name `The mourning of the Egyptians,' which [is]  beyond the Jordan. 
01O 050:012 And his sons do to him so as he commanded them, 
01O 050:013 and his sons bear him away to the land of Canaan, and bury  him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought  with the field for a possession of a burying-place, from Ephron  the Hittite, on the front of Mamre. 
01O 050:014 And Joseph turneth back to Egypt, he and his brethren, and  all who are going up with him to bury his father, after his  burying his father. 
01O 050:015 And the brethren of Joseph see that their father is dead,  and say, `Peradventure Joseph doth hate us, and doth certainly  return to us all the evil which we did with him.' 
01O 050:016 And they give a charge for Joseph, saying, `Thy father  commanded before his death, saying, 
01O 050:017 Thus ye do say to Joseph, I pray thee, bear, I pray thee,  with the transgression of thy brethren, and their sin, for they  have done thee evil; and now, bear, we pray thee, with the  transgression of the servants of the God of thy father;' and  Joseph weepeth in their speaking unto him. 
01O 050:018 And his brethren also go and fall before him, and say,  `Lo, we [are] to thee for servants.' 
01O 050:019 And Joseph saith unto them, `Fear not, for [am] I in the  place of God? 
01O 050:020 As for you, ye devised against me evil -- God devised it  for good, in order to do as [at] this day, to keep alive a  numerous people; 
01O 050:021 and now, fear not: I do nourish you and your infants;' and  he comforteth them, and speaketh unto their heart. 
01O 050:022 And Joseph dwelleth in Egypt, he and the house of his  father, and Joseph liveth a hundred and ten years, 
01O 050:023 and Joseph looketh on Ephraim's sons of the third  [generation]; sons also of Machir, son of Manasseh, have been  born on the knees of Joseph. 
01O 050:024 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I am dying, and God  doth certainly inspect you, and hath caused you to go up from  this land, unto the land which He hath sworn to Abraham, to  Isaac, and to Jacob.' 
01O 050:025 And Joseph causeth the sons of Israel to swear, saying,  `God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my  bones from this [place].' 
01O 050:026 And Joseph dieth, a son of an hundred and ten years, and  they embalm him, and he is put into a coffin in Egypt.  
02O 001:001 And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who are  coming into Egypt with Jacob; a man and his household have they  come; 
02O 001:002 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 
02O 001:003 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 
02O 001:004 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 
02O 001:005 And all the persons coming out of the thigh of Jacob are  seventy persons; as to Joseph, he was in Egypt. 
02O 001:006 And Joseph dieth, and all his brethren, and all that  generation; 
02O 001:007 and the sons of Israel have been fruitful, and they teem,  and multiply, and are very very mighty, and the land is filled  with them. 
02O 001:008 And there riseth a new king over Egypt, who hath not known  Joseph, 
02O 001:009 and he saith unto his people, `Lo, the people of the sons of  Israel [is] more numerous and mighty than we; 
02O 001:010 give help! let us act wisely concerning it, lest it  multiply, and it hath come to pass, when war happeneth, that it  hath been joined, even it, unto those hating us, and hath  fought against us, and hath gone out up of the land.' 
02O 001:011 And they set over it princes of tribute, so as to afflict  it with their burdens, and it buildeth store-cities for  Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses; 
02O 001:012 and as they afflict it, so it multiplieth, and so it  breaketh forth, and they are vexed because of the sons of  Israel; 
02O 001:013 and the Egyptians cause the sons of Israel to serve with  rigour, 
02O 001:014 and make their lives bitter in hard service, in clay, and  in brick, and in every [kind] of service in the field; all  their service in which they have served [is] with rigour. 
02O 001:015 And the king of Egypt speaketh to the midwives, the  Hebrewesses, (of whom the name of the one [is] Shiphrah, and  the name of the second Puah), 
02O 001:016 and saith, `When ye cause the Hebrew women to bear, and  have looked on the children; if it [is] a son -- then ye have  put him to death; and if it [is] a daughter -- then she hath  lived.' 
02O 001:017 And the midwives fear God, and have not done as the king of  Egypt hath spoken unto them, and keep the lads alive; 
02O 001:018 and the king of Egypt calleth for the midwives, and saith  to them, `Wherefore have ye done this thing, and keep the lads  alive?' 
02O 001:019 And the midwives say unto Pharaoh, `Because the Hebrew  women [are] not as the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively;  before the midwife cometh in unto them -- they have borne!' 
02O 001:020 And God doth good to the midwives, and the people multiply,  and are very mighty; 
02O 001:021 and it cometh to pass, because the midwives have feared  God, that He maketh for them households; 
02O 001:022 and Pharaoh layeth a charge on all his people, saying,  `Every son who is born -- into the River ye do cast him, and  every daughter ye do keep alive.' 
02O 002:001 And there goeth a man of the house of Levi, and he taketh  the daughter of Levi, 
02O 002:002 and the woman conceiveth, and beareth a son, and she seeth  him that he [is] fair, and she hideth him three months, 
02O 002:003 and she hath not been able any more to hide him, and she  taketh for him an ark of rushes, and daubeth it with bitumen  and with pitch, and putteth the lad in it, and putteth [it] in  the weeds by the edge of the River; 
02O 002:004 and his sister stationeth herself afar off, to know what is  done to him. 
02O 002:005 And a daughter of Pharaoh cometh down to bathe at the River,  and her damsels are walking by the side of the River, and she  seeth the ark in the midst of the weeds, and sendeth her  handmaid, and she taketh it, 
02O 002:006 and openeth, and seeth him -- the lad, and lo, a child  weeping! and she hath pity on him, and saith, `This is [one] of  the Hebrews' children.' 
02O 002:007 And his sister saith unto the daughter of Pharaoh, `Do I go?  when I have called for thee a suckling woman of the Hebrews,  then she doth suckle the lad for thee;' 
02O 002:008 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, `Go;' and the  virgin goeth, and calleth the mother of the lad, 
02O 002:009 and the daughter of Pharaoh saith to her, `Take this lad  away, and suckle him for me, and I -- I give thy hire;' and the  woman taketh the lad, and suckleth him. 
02O 002:010 And the lad groweth, and she bringeth him in to the  daughter of Pharaoh, and he is to her for a son, and she  calleth his name Moses, and saith, `Because -- from the water I  have drawn him.' 
02O 002:011 And it cometh to pass, in those days, that Moses is grown,  and he goeth out unto his brethren, and looketh on their  burdens, and seeth a man, an Egyptian, smiting a man, a Hebrew,  [one] of his brethren, 
02O 002:012 and he turneth hither and thither, and seeth that there is  no man, and smiteth the Egyptian, and hideth him in the sand. 
02O 002:013 And he goeth out on the second day, and lo, two men,  Hebrews, striving! and he saith to the wrong-doer, `Why dost  thou smite thy neighbour?' 
02O 002:014 and he saith, `Who set thee for a head and a judge over us?  to slay me art thou saying [it], as thou hast slain the  Egyptian?' and Moses feareth, and saith, `Surely the thing hath  been known.' 
02O 002:015 And Pharaoh heareth of this thing, and seeketh to slay  Moses, and Moses fleeth from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelleth  in the land of Midian, and dwelleth by the well. 
02O 002:016 And to a priest of Midian [are] seven daughters, and they  come and draw, and fill the troughs, to water the flock of  their father, 
02O 002:017 and the shepherds come and drive them away, and Moses  ariseth, and saveth them, and watereth their flock. 
02O 002:018 And they come in to Reuel their father, and he saith,  `Wherefore have ye hastened to come in to-day?' 
02O 002:019 and they say, `A man, an Egyptian, hath delivered us out of  the hand of the shepherds, and also hath diligently drawn for  us, and watereth the flock;' 
02O 002:020 and he saith unto his daughters, `And where [is] he? why  [is] this? -- ye left the man! call for him, and he doth eat  bread.' 
02O 002:021 And Moses is willing to dwell with the man, and he giveth  Zipporah his daughter to Moses, 
02O 002:022 and she beareth a son, and he calleth his name Gershom, for  he said, `A sojourner I have been in a strange land.' 
02O 002:023 And it cometh to pass during these many days, that the king  of Egypt dieth, and the sons of Israel sigh because of the  service, and cry, and their cry goeth up unto God, because of  the service; 
02O 002:024 and God heareth their groaning, and God remembereth His  covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob; 
02O 002:025 and God seeth the sons of Israel, and God knoweth. 
02O 003:001 And Moses hath been feeding the flock of Jethro his  father-in-law, priest of Midian, and he leadeth the flock  behind the wilderness, and cometh in unto the mount of God, to  Horeb; 
02O 003:002 and there appeareth unto him a messenger of Jehovah in a  flame of fire, out of the midst of the bush, and he seeth, and  lo, the bush is burning with fire, and the bush is not  consumed. 
02O 003:003 And Moses saith, `Let me turn aside, I pray thee, and I see  this great appearance; wherefore is the bush not burned?' 
02O 003:004 and Jehovah seeth that he hath turned aside to see, and God  calleth unto him out of the midst of the bush, and saith,  `Moses, Moses;' and he saith, `Here [am] I.' 
02O 003:005 And He saith, `Come not near hither: cast thy shoes from off  thy feet, for the place on which thou art standing is holy  ground.' 
02O 003:006 He saith also, `I [am] the God of thy father, God of  Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob;' and Moses hideth his  face, for he is afraid to look towards God. 
02O 003:007 And Jehovah saith, `I have certainly seen the affliction of  My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard,  because of its exactors, for I have known its pains; 
02O 003:008 and I go down to deliver it out of the hand of the  Egyptians, and to cause it to go up out of the land, unto a  land good and broad, unto a land flowing with milk and honey  -- unto the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the  Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite. 
02O 003:009 `And now, lo, the cry of the sons of Israel hath come in  unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the  Egyptians are oppressing them, 
02O 003:010 and now, come, and I send thee unto Pharaoh, and bring thou  out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.' 
02O 003:011 And Moses saith unto God, `Who [am] I, that I go unto  Pharaoh, and that I bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt?' 
02O 003:012 and He saith, `Because I am with thee, and this [is] to  thee the sign that I have sent thee: in thy bringing out the  people from Egypt -- ye do serve God on this mount.' 
02O 003:013 And Moses saith unto God, `Lo, I am coming unto the sons of  Israel, and have said to them, The God of your fathers hath  sent me unto you, and they have said to me, What [is] His  name? what do I say unto them?' 
02O 003:014 And God saith unto Moses, `I AM THAT WHICH I AM;' He saith  also, `Thus dost thou say to the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent  me unto you.' 
02O 003:015 And God saith again unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto  the sons of Israel, Jehovah, God of your fathers, God of  Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you;  this [is] My name -- to the age, and this My memorial, to  generation -- generation. 
02O 003:016 `Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast  said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth  unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have  certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in  Egypt; 
02O 003:017 and I say, I bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt,  unto the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the  Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite,  unto a land flowing [with] milk and honey. 
02O 003:018 `And they have hearkened to thy voice, and thou hast  entered, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt,  and ye have said unto him, Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, hath  met with us; and now, let us go, we pray thee, a journey of  three days into the wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our  God. 
02O 003:019 `And I -- I have known that the king of Egypt doth not  permit you to go, unless by a strong hand, 
02O 003:020 and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with  all My wonders, which I do in its midst -- and afterwards he  doth send you away. 
02O 003:021 `And I have given the grace of this people in the eyes of  the Egyptians, and it hath come to pass, when ye go, ye go not  empty; 
02O 003:022 and [every] woman hath asked from her neighbour, and from  her who is sojourning in her house, vessels of silver, and  vessels of gold, and garments, and ye have put [them] on your  sons and on your daughters, and have spoiled the Egyptians.' 
02O 004:001 And Moses answereth and saith, `And, if they do not give  credence to me, nor hearken to my voice, and say, Jehovah hath  not appeared unto thee?' 
02O 004:002 And Jehovah saith unto him, `What [is] this in thy hand?'  and he saith, `A rod;' 
02O 004:003 and He saith, `Cast it to the earth;' and he casteth it to  the earth, and it becometh a serpent -- and Moses fleeth from  its presence. 
02O 004:004 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Put forth thy hand, and lay  hold on the tail of it;' and he putteth forth his hand, and  layeth hold on it, and it becometh a rod in his hand -- 
02O 004:005 `-- so that they believe that Jehovah, God of their fathers,  hath appeared unto thee, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, and God  of Jacob.' 
02O 004:006 And Jehovah saith to him again, `Put in, I pray thee, thy  hand into thy bosom;' and he putteth in his hand into his  bosom, and he bringeth it out, and lo, his hand [is] leprous as  snow; 
02O 004:007 and He saith, `Put back thy hand unto thy bosom;' and he  putteth back his hand unto his bosom, and he bringeth it out  from his bosom, and lo, it hath turned back as his flesh -- 
02O 004:008 `-- and it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence  to thee, and hearken not to the voice of the first sign, that  they have given credence to the voice of the latter sign. 
02O 004:009 `And it hath come to pass, if they do not give credence even  to these two signs, nor hearken to thy voice, that thou hast  taken of the waters of the River, and hast poured on the dry  land, and the waters which thou takest from the River have  been, yea, they have become -- blood on the dry land.' 
02O 004:010 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `O, my Lord, I [am] not a man  of words, either yesterday, or before, or since Thy speaking  unto Thy servant, for I [am] slow of mouth, and slow of  tongue.' 
02O 004:011 And Jehovah saith unto him, `Who appointed a mouth for man?  or who appointeth the dumb, or deaf, or open, or blind? is it  not I, Jehovah? 
02O 004:012 and now, go, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and have  directed thee that which thou speakest;' 
02O 004:013 and he saith, `O, my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand  Thou dost send.' 
02O 004:014 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Moses, and He  saith, `Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I have known that  he speaketh well, and also, lo, he is coming out to meet thee;  when he hath seen thee, then he hath rejoiced in his heart, 
02O 004:015 and thou hast spoken unto him, and hast set the words in  his mouth, and I -- I am with thy mouth, and with his mouth,  and have directed you that which ye do; 
02O 004:016 and he, he hath spoken for thee unto the people, and it  hath come to pass, he -- he is to thee for a mouth, and thou --  thou art to him for God; 
02O 004:017 and this rod thou dost take in thy hand, with which thou  doest the signs.' 
02O 004:018 And Moses goeth and turneth back unto Jethro his  father-in-law, and saith to him, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I  turn back unto my brethren who [are] in Egypt, and I see  whether they are yet alive.' And Jethro saith to Moses, `Go in  peace.' 
02O 004:019 And Jehovah saith unto Moses in Midian, `Go, turn back to  Egypt, for all the men have died who seek thy life;' 
02O 004:020 and Moses taketh his wife, and his sons, and causeth them  to ride on the ass, and turneth back to the land of Egypt, and  Moses taketh the rod of God in his hand. 
02O 004:021 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `In thy going to turn back to  Egypt, see -- all the wonders which I have put in thy hand --  that thou hast done them before Pharaoh, and I -- I strengthen  his heart, and he doth not send the people away; 
02O 004:022 and thou hast said unto Pharaoh, Thus said Jehovah, My son,  My first-born [is] Israel, 
02O 004:023 and I say unto thee, Send away My son, and he doth serve  Me; and -- thou dost refuse to send him away -- lo, I am  slaying thy son, thy first-born.' 
02O 004:024 And it cometh to pass in the way, in a lodging place, that  Jehovah meeteth him, and seeketh to put him to death; 
02O 004:025 and Zipporah taketh a flint, and cutteth off the foreskin  of her son, and causeth [it] to touch his feet, and saith,  `Surely a bridegroom of blood [art] thou to me;' 
02O 004:026 and He desisteth from him: then she said, `A bridegroom of  blood,' in reference to the circumcision. 
02O 004:027 And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `Go to meet Moses into the  wilderness;' and he goeth, and meeteth him in the mount of God,  and kisseth him, 
02O 004:028 and Moses declareth to Aaron all the words of Jehovah with  which He hath sent him, and all the signs with which He hath  charged him. 
02O 004:029 And Moses goeth -- Aaron also -- and they gather all the  elders of the sons of Israel, 
02O 004:030 and Aaron speaketh all the words which Jehovah hath spoken  unto Moses, and doth the signs before the eyes of the people; 
02O 004:031 and the people believe when they hear that Jehovah hath  looked after the sons of Israel, and that He hath seen their  affliction; and they bow and do obeisance. 
02O 005:001 And afterwards have Moses and Aaron entered, and they say  unto Pharaoh, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Send My people  away, and they keep a feast to Me in the wilderness;' 
02O 005:002 and Pharaoh saith, `Who [is] Jehovah, that I hearken to His  voice, to send Israel away? I have not known Jehovah, and  Israel also I do not send away.' 
02O 005:003 And they say, `The God of the Hebrews hath met with us, let  us go, we pray thee, a journey of three days into the  wilderness, and we sacrifice to Jehovah our God, lest He meet  us with pestilence or with sword.' 
02O 005:004 And the king of Egypt saith unto them, `Why, Moses and  Aaron, do ye free the people from its works? go to your  burdens.' 
02O 005:005 Pharaoh also saith, `Lo, numerous now [is] the people of the  land, and ye have caused them to cease from their burdens!' 
02O 005:006 And Pharaoh commandeth, on that day, the exactors among the  people and its authorities, saying, 
02O 005:007 `Ye do not add to give straw to the people for the making of  the bricks, as heretofore -- they go and have gathered straw  for themselves; 
02O 005:008 and the proper quantity of the bricks which they are making  heretofore ye do put on them, ye do not diminish from it, for  they are remiss, therefore they are crying, saying, Let us go,  let us sacrifice to our God; 
02O 005:009 let the service be heavy on the men, and let them work at  it, and not be dazzled by lying words.' 
02O 005:010 And the exactors of the people, and its authorities, go  out, and speak unto the people, saying, `Thus said Pharaoh, I  do not give you straw, 
02O 005:011 ye -- go ye, take for yourselves straw where ye find [it],  for there is nothing of your service diminished.' 
02O 005:012 And the people is scattered over all the land of Egypt, to  gather stubble for straw, 
02O 005:013 and the exactors are making haste, saying, `Complete your  works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there is straw.' 
02O 005:014 And the authorities of the sons of Israel, whom the  exactors of Pharaoh have placed over them, are beaten, saying,  `Wherefore have ye not completed your portion in making brick  as heretofore, both yesterday and to-day?' 
02O 005:015 And the authorities of the sons of Israel come in and cry  unto Pharaoh, saying, `Why dost thou thus to thy servants? 
02O 005:016 Straw is not given to thy servants, and they are saying to  us, Make bricks, and lo, thy servants are smitten -- and thy  people hath sinned.' 
02O 005:017 And he saith, `Remiss -- ye are remiss, therefore ye are  saying, Let us go, let us sacrifice to Jehovah; 
02O 005:018 and now, go, serve; and straw is not given to you, and the  measure of bricks ye do give.' 
02O 005:019 And the authorities of the sons of Israel see them in  affliction, saying, `Ye do not diminish from your bricks; the  matter of a day in its day.' 
02O 005:020 And they meet Moses and Aaron standing to meet them, in  their coming out from Pharaoh, 
02O 005:021 and say unto them, `Jehovah look upon you, and judge,  because ye have caused our fragrance to stink in the eyes of  Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants -- to give a sword  into their hand to slay us.' 
02O 005:022 And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, `Lord, why  hast Thou done evil to this people? why [is] this? -- Thou hast  sent me! 
02O 005:023 and since I have come unto Pharaoh, to speak in Thy name,  he hath done evil to this people, and Thou hast not at all  delivered Thy people.' 
02O 006:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Now dost thou see that which  I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he doth send them away,  yea, with a strong hand he doth cast them out of his land.' 
02O 006:002 And God speaketh unto Moses, and saith unto him, `I [am]  Jehovah, 
02O 006:003 and I appear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as  God Almighty; as to My name Jehovah, I have not been known to  them; 
02O 006:004 and also I have established My covenant with them, to give  to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings,  wherein they have sojourned; 
02O 006:005 and also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel,  whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My  covenant. 
02O 006:006 `Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I [am] Jehovah, and I  have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians,  and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed  you by a stretched-out arm, and by great judgments, 
02O 006:007 and have taken you to Me for a people, and I have been to  you for God, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God,  who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the  Egyptians; 
02O 006:008 and I have brought you in unto the land which I have lifted  up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and  have given it to you -- a possession; I [am] Jehovah.' 
02O 006:009 And Moses speaketh so unto the sons of Israel, and they  hearkened not unto Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh  service. 
02O 006:010 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 006:011 `Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he doth send  the sons of Israel out of his land; 
02O 006:012 and Moses speaketh before Jehovah, saying, `Lo, the sons of  Israel have not hearkened unto me, and how doth Pharaoh hear  me, and I of uncircumcised lips?' 
02O 006:013 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and  chargeth them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of  Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt. 
02O 006:014 These [are] heads of the house of their fathers: Sons of  Reuben first-born of Israel [are] Hanoch, and Phallu, Hezron,  and Carmi: these [are] families of Reuben. 
02O 006:015 And sons of Simeon [are] Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and  Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul, son of the Canaanitess: these  [are] families of Simeon. 
02O 006:016 And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi, as to their  births: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the  life of Levi [are] a hundred and thirty and seven years. 
02O 006:017 The sons of Gershon [are] Libni, and Shimi, as to their  families. 
02O 006:018 And the sons of Kohath [are] Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron,  and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath [are] a  hundred and thirty and three years. 
02O 006:019 And the sons of Merari [are] Mahli and Mushi: these [are]  families of Levi, as to their births. 
02O 006:020 And Amram taketh Jochebed his aunt to himself for a wife,  and she beareth to him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the  life of Amram [are] a hundred and thirty and seven years. 
02O 006:021 And sons of Izhar [are] Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. 
02O 006:022 And sons of Uzziel [are] Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri. 
02O 006:023 And Aaron taketh Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of  Naashon, to himself for a wife, and she beareth to him Nadab,  and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 
02O 006:024 And sons of Korah [are] Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph:  these [are] families of the Korhite. 
02O 006:025 And Eleazar, Aaron's son, hath taken to him [one] of the  daughters of Putiel for a wife to himself, and she beareth to  him Phinehas: these [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites,  as to their families. 
02O 006:026 This [is] Aaron -- and Moses -- to whom Jehovah said,  `Bring ye out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by  their hosts;' 
02O 006:027 these are they who are speaking unto Pharaoh king of Egypt,  to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt, this [is] Moses --  and Aaron. 
02O 006:028 And it cometh to pass in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto  Moses in the land of Egypt, 
02O 006:029 that Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, `I [am] Jehovah,  speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking unto  thee.' 
02O 006:030 And Moses saith before Jehovah, `Lo, I [am] of  uncircumcised lips, and how doth Pharaoh hearken unto me?' 
02O 007:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `See, I have given thee a god  to Pharaoh, and Aaron thy brother is thy prophet; 
02O 007:002 thou -- thou dost speak all that I command thee, and Aaron  thy brother doth speak unto Pharaoh, and he hath sent the sons  of Israel out of his land. 
02O 007:003 `And I harden the heart of Pharaoh, and have multiplied My  signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt, 
02O 007:004 and Pharaoh doth not hearken, and I have put My hand on  Egypt, and have brought out My hosts, My people, the sons of  Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments; 
02O 007:005 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My  stretching out My hand against Egypt; and I have brought out  the sons of Israel from their midst.' 
02O 007:006 And Moses doth -- Aaron also -- as Jehovah commanded them;  so have they done; 
02O 007:007 and Moses [is] a son of eighty years, and Aaron [is] a son  of eighty and three years, in their speaking unto Pharaoh. 
02O 007:008 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 
02O 007:009 `When Pharaoh speaketh unto you, saying, Give for yourselves  a wonder; then thou hast said unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and  cast before Pharaoh -- it becometh a monster.' 
02O 007:010 And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they  do so as Jehovah hath commanded; and Aaron casteth his rod  before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it becometh a  monster. 
02O 007:011 And Pharaoh also calleth for wise men, and for sorcerers;  and the scribes of Egypt, they also, with their flashings, do  so, 
02O 007:012 and they cast down each his rod, and they become monsters,  and the rod of Aaron swalloweth their rods; 
02O 007:013 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not  hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken. 
02O 007:014 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The heart of Pharaoh hath  been hard, he hath refused to send the people away; 
02O 007:015 go unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he is going out to the  water, and thou hast stood to meet him by the edge of the  River, and the rod which was turned to a serpent thou dost take  in thy hand, 
02O 007:016 and thou hast said unto him: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews,  hath sent me unto thee, saying, Send My people away, and they  serve Me in the wilderness; and lo, thou hast not hearkened  hitherto. 
02O 007:017 `Thus said Jehovah: By this thou knowest that I [am]  Jehovah; lo, I am smiting with the rod which [is] in my hand,  on the waters which [are] in the River, and they have been  turned to blood, 
02O 007:018 and the fish that [are] in the River die, and the River  hath stank, and the Egyptians have been wearied of drinking  waters from the River.' 
02O 007:019 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Take thy  rod, and stretch out thy hand against the waters of Egypt,  against their streams, against their rivers, and against their  ponds, and against all their collections of waters; and they  are blood -- and there hath been blood in all the land of  Egypt, both in [vessels of] wood, and in [those of] stone.' 
02O 007:020 And Moses and Aaron do so, as Jehovah hath commanded, and  he lifteth up [his hand] with the rod, and smiteth the waters  which [are] in the River, before the eyes of Pharaoh, and  before the eyes of his servants, and all the waters which [are]  in the River are turned to blood, 
02O 007:021 and the fish which [is] in the River hath died, and the  River stinketh, and the Egyptians have not been able to drink  water from the River; and the blood is in all the land of  Egypt. 
02O 007:022 And the scribes of Egypt do so with their flashings, and  the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not hearkened unto  them, as Jehovah hath spoken, 
02O 007:023 and Pharaoh turneth and goeth in unto his house, and hath  not set his heart even to this; 
02O 007:024 and all the Egyptians seek water round about the river to  drink, for they have not been able to drink of the waters of  the River. 
02O 007:025 And seven days are completed after Jehovah's smiting the  River, 
02O 008:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh: and thou  hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My people away, and  they serve Me; 
02O 008:002 and if thou art refusing to send away, lo, I am smiting all  thy border with frogs; 
02O 008:003 and the River hath teemed [with] frogs, and they have gone  up and gone into thy house, and into the inner-chamber of thy  bed, and on thy couch, and into the house of thy servants, and  among thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy  kneading-troughs; 
02O 008:004 yea, on thee, and on thy people, and on all thy servants do  the frogs go up.' 
02O 008:005 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Stretch out  thy hand, with thy rod, against the streams, against the  rivers, and against the ponds, and cause the frogs to come up  against the land of Egypt.' 
02O 008:006 And Aaron stretcheth out his hand against the waters of  Egypt, and the frog cometh up, and covereth the land of Egypt; 
02O 008:007 and the scribes do so with their flashings, and cause the  frogs to come up against the land of Egypt. 
02O 008:008 And Pharaoh calleth for Moses and for Aaron, and saith,  `Make supplication unto Jehovah, that he turn aside the frogs  from me, and from my people, and I send the people away, and  they sacrifice to Jehovah.' 
02O 008:009 And Moses saith to Pharaoh, `Beautify thyself over me; when  do I make supplication for thee, and for thy servants, and for  thy people, to cut off the frogs from thee and from thy houses  -- only in the River they do remain?' 
02O 008:010 and he saith, `To-morrow.' And he saith, According to thy  word [it is], so that thou knowest that there is none like  Jehovah our God, 
02O 008:011 and the frogs have turned aside from thee, and from thy  houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; only in  the River they do remain.' 
02O 008:012 And Moses -- Aaron also -- goeth out from Pharaoh, and  Moses crieth unto Jehovah, concerning the matter of the frogs  which He hath set on Pharaoh; 
02O 008:013 and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and the  frogs die out of the houses, out of the courts, and out of the  fields, 
02O 008:014 and they heap them up together, and the land stinketh. 
02O 008:015 And Pharaoh seeth that there hath been a respite, and he  hath hardened his heart, and hath not hearkened unto them, as  Jehovah hath spoken. 
02O 008:016 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto Aaron, Stretch out  thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, and it hath become  gnats in all the land of Egypt.' 
02O 008:017 And they do so, and Aaron stretcheth out his hand with his  rod, and smiteth the dust of the land, and the gnats are on man  and on beast; all the dust of the land hath been gnats in all  the land of Egypt. 
02O 008:018 And the scribes do so with their flashings, to bring out  the gnats, and they have not been able, and the gnats are on  man and on beast; 
02O 008:019 and the scribes say unto Pharaoh, `It [is] the finger of  God;' and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not  hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken. 
02O 008:020 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Rise early in the morning,  and station thyself before Pharaoh, lo, he is going out to the  waters, and thou hast said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Send My  people away, and they serve Me; 
02O 008:021 for, if thou art not sending My people away, lo, I am  sending against thee, and against thy servants, and against thy  people, and against thy houses, the beetle, and the houses of  the Egyptians have been full of the beetle, and also the ground  on which they are. 
02O 008:022 `And I have separated in that day the land of Goshen, in  which My people are staying, that the beetle is not there, so  that thou knowest that I [am] Jehovah in the midst of the  land, 
02O 008:023 and I have put a division between My people and thy people:  to-morrow is this sign.' 
02O 008:024 And Jehovah doth so, and the grievous beetle entereth the  house of Pharaoh, and the house of his servants, and in all the  land of Egypt the land is corrupted from the presence of the  beetle. 
02O 008:025 And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and to Aaron, and saith,  `Go, sacrifice to your God in the land;' 
02O 008:026 and Moses saith, `Not right to do so, for the abomination  of the Egyptians we do sacrifice to Jehovah our God; lo, we  sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes --  and they do not stone us! 
02O 008:027 A journey of three days we go into the wilderness, and have  sacrificed to Jehovah our God, as He saith unto us.' 
02O 008:028 And Pharaoh saith, `I send you away, and ye have sacrificed  to Jehovah your God in the wilderness, only go not very far  off; make ye supplication for me;' 
02O 008:029 and Moses saith, `Lo, I am going out from thee, and have  made supplication unto Jehovah, and the beetle hath turned  aside from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people --  to-morrow, only let not Pharaoh add to deceive -- in not  sending the people away to sacrifice to Jehovah.' 
02O 008:030 And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication  unto Jehovah, 
02O 008:031 and Jehovah doth according to the word of Moses, and  turneth aside the beetle from Pharaoh, from his servants, and  from his people -- there hath not been left one; 
02O 008:032 and Pharaoh hardeneth his heart also at this time, and hath  not sent the people away. 
02O 009:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, and thou  hast spoken unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews,  Send My people away, and they serve me, 
02O 009:002 for, if thou art refusing to send away, and art still  keeping hold upon them, 
02O 009:003 lo, the hand of Jehovah is on thy cattle which [are] in the  field, on horses, on asses, on camels, on herd, and on flock --  a pestilence very grievous. 
02O 009:004 `And Jehovah hath separated between the cattle of Israel and  the cattle of Egypt, and there doth not die a thing of all the  sons of Israel's; 
02O 009:005 and Jehovah setteth an appointed time, saying, To-morrow  doth Jehovah do this thing in the land.' 
02O 009:006 And Jehovah doth this thing on the morrow, and all the  cattle of Egypt die, and of the cattle of the sons of Israel  not one hath died; 
02O 009:007 and Pharaoh sendeth, and lo, not even one of the cattle of  Israel hath died, and the heart of Pharaoh is hard, and he  hath not sent the people away. 
02O 009:008 And Jehovah saith unto Moses and unto Aaron, `Take to you  the fulness of your hands [of] soot of a furnace, and Moses  hath sprinkled it towards the heavens, before the eyes of  Pharaoh, 
02O 009:009 and it hath become small dust over all the land of Egypt,  and it hath become on man and on cattle a boil breaking forth  [with] blains, in all the land of Egypt.' 
02O 009:010 And they take the soot of the furnace, and stand before  Pharaoh, and Moses sprinkleth it towards the heavens, and it is  a boil [with] blains, breaking forth, on man and on beast; 
02O 009:011 and the scribes have not been able to stand before Moses,  because of the boil, for the boil hath been on the scribes, and  on all the Egyptians. 
02O 009:012 And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath  not hearkened unto them, as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses. 
02O 009:013 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Rise early in the morning,  and station thyself before Pharaoh, and thou hast said unto  him, Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Send My people  away, and they serve Me, 
02O 009:014 for, at this time I am sending all My plagues unto thy  heart, and on thy servants, and on thy people, so that thou  knowest that there is none like Me in all the earth, 
02O 009:015 for now I have put forth My hand, and I smite thee, and thy  people, with pestilence, and thou art hidden from the earth. 
02O 009:016 `And yet for this I have caused thee to stand, so as to  show thee My power, and for the sake of declaring My Name in  all the earth; 
02O 009:017 still thou art exalting thyself against My people -- so as  not to send them away; 
02O 009:018 lo, I am raining about [this] time to-morrow hail very  grievous, such as hath not been in Egypt, even from the day of  its being founded, even until now. 
02O 009:019 `And, now, send, strengthen thy cattle and all that thou  hast in the field; every man and beast which is found in the  field, and is not gathered into the house -- come down on them  hath the hail, and they have died.' 
02O 009:020 He who is fearing the word of Jehovah among the servants of  Pharaoh hath caused his servants and his cattle to flee unto  the houses; 
02O 009:021 and he who hath not set his heart unto the word of Jehovah  leaveth his servants and his cattle in the field. 
02O 009:022 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch forth thy hand  towards the heavens, and there is hail in all the land of  Egypt, on man, and on beast, and on every herb of the field in  the land of Egypt.' 
02O 009:023 And Moses stretcheth out his rod towards the heavens, and  Jehovah hath given voices and hail, and fire goeth towards the  earth, and Jehovah raineth hail on the land of Egypt, 
02O 009:024 and there is hail, and fire catching itself in the midst of  the hail, very grievous, such as hath not been in all the land  of Egypt since it hath become a nation. 
02O 009:025 And the hail smiteth in all the land of Egypt all that [is]  in the field, from man even unto beast, and every herb of the  field hath the hail smitten, and every tree of the field it  hath broken; 
02O 009:026 only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel [are],  there hath been no hail. 
02O 009:027 And Pharaoh sendeth, and calleth for Moses and for Aaron,  and saith unto them, `I have sinned this time, Jehovah [is] the  Righteous, and I and my people [are] the Wicked, 
02O 009:028 make ye supplication unto Jehovah, and plead that there be  no voices of God and hail, and I send you away, and ye add not  to remain.' 
02O 009:029 And Moses saith unto him, `At my going out of the city, I  spread my palms unto Jehovah -- the voices cease, and the hail  is not any more, so that thou knowest that the earth [is]  Jehovah's; 
02O 009:030 but thou and thy servants -- I have known that ye are not  yet afraid of the face of Jehovah God.' 
02O 009:031 And the flax and the barley have been smitten, for the  barley [is] budding, and the flax forming flowers, 
02O 009:032 and the wheat and the rye have not been smitten, for they  are late. 
02O 009:033 And Moses goeth out from Pharaoh, [from] the city, and  spreadeth his hands unto Jehovah, and the voices and the hail  cease, and rain hath not been poured out to the earth; 
02O 009:034 and Pharaoh seeth that the rain hath ceased, and the hail  and the voices, and he continueth to sin, and hardeneth his  heart, he and his servants; 
02O 009:035 and the heart of Pharaoh is strong, and he hath not sent  the sons of Israel away, as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of  Moses. 
02O 010:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go in unto Pharaoh, for I  have declared hard his heart, and the heart of his servants, so  that I set these My signs in their midst, 
02O 010:002 and so that thou recountest in the ears of thy son, and of  thy son's son, that which I have done in Egypt, and My signs  which I have set among them, and ye have known that I [am]  Jehovah.' 
02O 010:003 And Moses cometh in -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh, and they  say unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of the Hebrews, Until  when hast thou refused to be humbled at My presence? send My  people away, and they serve Me, 
02O 010:004 for if thou art refusing to send My people away, lo, I am  bringing in to-morrow the locust into thy border, 
02O 010:005 and it hath covered the eye of the land, and none is able  to see the land, and it hath eaten the remnant of that which is  escaped, which is left to you from the hail, and it hath eaten  every tree which is springing for you out of the field; 
02O 010:006 and they have filled thy houses, and the houses of all thy  servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians, which neither  thy fathers nor thy father's fathers have seen, since the day  of their being on the ground unto this day,' -- and he turneth  and goeth out from Pharaoh. 
02O 010:007 And the servants of Pharaoh say unto him, `Until when doth  this [one] become a snare to us? send the men away, and they  serve Jehovah their God; knowest thou not yet that Egypt hath  perished?' 
02O 010:008 And Moses is brought back -- Aaron also -- unto Pharaoh,  and he saith unto them, `Go, serve Jehovah your God; -- who  and who [are] those going?' 
02O 010:009 And Moses saith, `With our young ones, and with our aged  ones, we go, with our sons, and with our daughters, with our  flock, and our herd, we go, for we have a festival to  Jehovah.' 
02O 010:010 And he saith unto them, `Be it so, Jehovah [be] with you  when I send you and your infants away; see -- for evil [is]  before your faces; 
02O 010:011 not so! go now, ye who [are] men, and serve Jehovah, for  that ye are seeking;' and [one] casteth them out from the  presence of Pharaoh. 
02O 010:012 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand  against the land of Egypt for the locust, and it goeth up  against the land of Egypt, and doth eat every herb of the land  -- all that the hail hath left.' 
02O 010:013 And Moses stretcheth out his rod against the land of  Egypt, and Jehovah hath led an east wind over the land all that  day, and all the night; the morning hath been, and the east  wind hath lifted up the locust. 
02O 010:014 And the locust goeth up against all the land of Egypt, and  resteth in all the border of Egypt -- very grievous: before it  there hath not been such a locust as it, and after it there is  none such; 
02O 010:015 and it covereth the eye of all the land, and the land is  darkened; and it eateth every herb of the land, and all the  fruit of the trees which the hail hath left, and there hath  not been left any green thing in the trees, or in the herb of  the field, in all the land of Egypt.' 
02O 010:016 And Pharaoh hasteth to call for Moses and for Aaron, and  saith, `I have sinned against Jehovah your God, and against  you, 
02O 010:017 and now, bear with, I pray you, my sin, only this time,  and make ye supplication to Jehovah your God, that He turn  aside from off me only this death.' 
02O 010:018 And he goeth out from Pharaoh, and maketh supplication  unto Jehovah, 
02O 010:019 and Jehovah turneth a very strong sea wind, and it lifteth  up the locust, and bloweth it into the Red Sea -- there hath  not been left one locust in all the border of Egypt; 
02O 010:020 and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he  hath not sent the sons of Israel away. 
02O 010:021 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand  towards the heavens, and there is darkness over the land of  Egypt, and the darkness is felt.' 
02O 010:022 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the heavens, and  there is darkness -- thick darkness in all the land of Egypt  three days; 
02O 010:023 they have not seen one another, and none hath risen from  his place three days; and to all the sons of Israel there hath  been light in their dwellings.' 
02O 010:024 And Pharaoh calleth unto Moses and saith, `Go ye, serve  Jehovah, only your flock and your herd are stayed, your infants  also go with you;' 
02O 010:025 and Moses saith, `Thou also dost give in our hand  sacrifices and burnt-offerings, and we have prepared for  Jehovah our God; 
02O 010:026 and also our cattle doth go with us, there is not left a  hoof, for from it we do take to serve Jehovah our God; and we  -- we know not how we do serve Jehovah till our going thither.' 
02O 010:027 And Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh, and he  hath not been willing to send them away; 
02O 010:028 and Pharaoh saith to him, `Go from me, take heed to  thyself, add not to see my face, for in the day thou seest my  face thou diest;' 
02O 010:029 and Moses saith, `Rightly hast thou spoken, I add not any  more to see thy face.' 
02O 011:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `One plague more I do bring  in on Pharaoh, and on Egypt, afterwards he doth send you away  from this; when he is sending you away, he surely casteth you  out altogether from this [place]; 
02O 011:002 speak, I pray thee, in the ears of the people, and they ask  -- each man from his neighbour, and each woman from her  neighbour, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold.' 
02O 011:003 And Jehovah giveth the grace of the people in the eyes of  the Egyptians; also the man Moses [is] very great in the land  of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh, and in the  eyes of the people. 
02O 011:004 And Moses saith, `Thus said Jehovah, About midnight I am  going out into the midst of Egypt, 
02O 011:005 and every first-born in the land of Egypt hath died, from  the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto  the first-born of the maid-servant who [is] behind the  millstones, and all the first-born of beasts; 
02O 011:006 and there hath been a great cry in all the land of Egypt,  such as there hath not been, and such as there is not again. 
02O 011:007 `And against all the sons of Israel a dog sharpeneth not  its tongue, from man even unto beast, so that ye know that  Jehovah doth make a separation between the Egyptians and  Israel; 
02O 011:008 and all these thy servants have come down unto me, and  bowed themselves to me, saying, Go out, thou and all the people  who [are] at thy feet; and afterwards I do go out;' -- and he  goeth out from Pharaoh in the heat of anger. 
02O 011:009 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pharaoh doth not hearken  unto you, so as to multiply My wonders in the land of Egypt;' 
02O 011:010 and Moses and Aaron have done all these wonders before  Pharaoh, and Jehovah strengtheneth Pharaoh's heart, and he hath  not sent the sons of Israel out of his land. 
02O 012:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, in the land  of Egypt, saying, 
02O 012:002 `This month [is] to you the chief of months -- it [is] the  first to you of the months of the year; 
02O 012:003 speak ye unto all the company of Israel, saying, In the  tenth of this month -- they take to them each man a lamb for  the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house. 
02O 012:004 `(And if the household be too few for a lamb, then hath he  taken, he and his neighbour who is near unto his house, for the  number of persons, each according to his eating ye do count for  the lamb,) 
02O 012:005 a lamb, a perfect one, a male, a son of a year, let be to  you; from the sheep or from the goats ye do take [it]. 
02O 012:006 `And it hath become a charge to you, until the fourteenth  day of this month, and the whole assembly of the company of  Israel have slaughtered it between the evenings; 
02O 012:007 and they have taken of the blood, and have put on the two  side-posts, and on the lintel over the houses in which they eat  it. 
02O 012:008 `And they have eaten the flesh in this night, roast with  fire; with unleavened things and bitters they do eat it; 
02O 012:009 ye do not eat of it raw, or boiled at all in water, but  roast with fire, its head with its legs, and with its inwards; 
02O 012:010 and ye do not leave of it till morning, and that which is  remaining of it till morning with fire ye do burn. 
02O 012:011 `And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on  your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in  haste; it is Jehovah's passover, 
02O 012:012 and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during  this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of  Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I  do judgments; I [am] Jehovah. 
02O 012:013 `And the blood hath become a sign for you on the houses  where ye [are], and I have seen the blood, and have passed over  you, and a plague is not on you for destruction in My smiting  in the land of Egypt. 
02O 012:014 `And this day hath become to you a memorial, and ye have  kept it a feast to Jehovah to your generations; -- a statute  age-during; ye keep it a feast. 
02O 012:015 Seven days ye eat unleavened things; only -- in the first  day ye cause leaven to cease out of your houses; for any one  eating anything fermented from the first day till the seventh  day, even that person hath been cut off from Israel. 
02O 012:016 `And in the first day [is] a holy convocation, and in the  seventh day ye have a holy convocation; any work is not done in  them, only that which is eaten by any person -- it alone is  done by you, 
02O 012:017 and ye have observed the unleavened things, for in this  self-same day I have brought out your hosts from the land of  Egypt, and ye have observed this day to your generations -- a  statute age-during. 
02O 012:018 `In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month,  in the evening, ye do eat unleavened things until the one and  twentieth day of the month, at evening; 
02O 012:019 seven days leaven is not found in your houses, for any  [one] eating anything fermented -- that person hath been cut  off from the company of Israel, among the sojourners or among  the natives of the land; 
02O 012:020 anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye  do eat unleavened things.' 
02O 012:021 And Moses calleth for all the elders of Israel, and saith  unto them, `Draw out and take for yourselves [from] the flock,  for your families, and slaughter the passover-sacrifice; 
02O 012:022 and ye have taken a bunch of hyssop, and have dipped [it]  in the blood which [is] in the basin, and have struck [it] on  the lintel, and on the two side-posts, from the blood which  [is] in the basin, and ye, ye go not out each from the opening  of his house till morning. 
02O 012:023 `And Jehovah hath passed on to smite the Egyptians, and  hath seen the blood on the lintel, and on the two side-posts,  and Jehovah hath passed over the opening, and doth not permit  the destruction to come into your houses to smite. 
02O 012:024 `And ye have observed this thing, for a statute to thee,  and to thy sons -- unto the age; 
02O 012:025 and it hath been, when ye come in unto the land which  Jehovah giveth to you, as He hath spoken, that ye have kept  this service; 
02O 012:026 and it hath come to pass when your sons say unto you, What  [is] this service ye have? 
02O 012:027 that ye have said, A sacrifice of passover it [is] to  Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in  Egypt, in His smiting the Egyptians, and our houses He  delivered.' 
02O 012:028 And the people bow and do obeisance, and the sons of  Israel go and do as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron; so have  they done. 
02O 012:029 And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath  smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the  first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the  first-born of the captive who [is] in the prison-house, and  every first-born of beasts. 
02O 012:030 And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and  all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there  is not a house where there is not [one] dead, 
02O 012:031 and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and  saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and  the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your  word; 
02O 012:032 both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken,  and go; then ye have blessed also me.' 
02O 012:033 And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to  send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all  dead;' 
02O 012:034 and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented,  their kneading-troughs [are] bound up in their garments on  their shoulder. 
02O 012:035 And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of  Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and  vessels of gold, and garments; 
02O 012:036 and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes  of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil  the Egyptians. 
02O 012:037 And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth,  about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants; 
02O 012:038 and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock  and herd -- very much cattle. 
02O 012:039 And they bake with the dough which they have brought out  from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for  they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to  delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves. 
02O 012:040 And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have  dwelt in Egypt [is] four hundred and thirty years; 
02O 012:041 and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and  thirty years -- yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day --  all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt. 
02O 012:042 A night of watchings it [is] to Jehovah, to bring them out  from the land of Egypt; it [is] this night to Jehovah of  watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations. 
02O 012:043 And Jehovah saith unto Moses and Aaron, `This [is] a  statute of the passover; Any son of a stranger doth not eat of  it; 
02O 012:044 and any man's servant, the purchase of money, when thou  hast circumcised him -- then he doth eat of it; 
02O 012:045 a settler or hired servant doth not eat of it; 
02O 012:046 in one house it is eaten, thou dost not carry out of the  house [any] of the flesh without, and a bone ye do not break of  it; 
02O 012:047 all the company of Israel do keep it. 
02O 012:048 `And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and hath made  a passover to Jehovah, every male of his [is] to be  circumcised, and then he doth come near to keep it, and he hath  been as a native of the land, but any uncircumcised one doth  not eat of it; 
02O 012:049 one law is to a native, and to a sojourner who is  sojourning in your midst.' 
02O 012:050 And all the sons of Israel do as Jehovah commanded Moses  and Aaron; so have they done. 
02O 012:051 And it cometh to pass in this self-same day, Jehovah hath  brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their  hosts. 
02O 013:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 013:002 `Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among  the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it [is] Mine.' 
02O 013:003 And Moses saith unto the people, `Remember this day [in]  which ye have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants,  for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought you out from  this, and any thing fermented is not eaten; 
02O 013:004 To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib. 
02O 013:005 `And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the  land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite,  and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to  thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and  honey, that thou hast done this service in this month. 
02O 013:006 `Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the  seventh day [is] a feast to Jehovah; 
02O 013:007 unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing  fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with  thee in all thy border. 
02O 013:008 `And thou hast declared to thy son in that day, saying,  `[It is] because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out  from Egypt, 
02O 013:009 and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a  memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in  thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out  from Egypt; 
02O 013:010 and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season  from days to days. 
02O 013:011 `And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the  land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy  fathers, and hath given it to thee, 
02O 013:012 that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass  over to Jehovah, and every firstling -- the increase of beasts  which thou hast: the males [are] Jehovah's. 
02O 013:013 `And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a  lamb, and if thou dost not ransom [it], then thou hast beheaded  it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost  ransom. 
02O 013:014 `And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter,  saying, What [is] this? that thou hast said unto him, By  strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a  house of servants; 
02O 013:015 yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to  send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the  land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the  first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all  opening a womb who [are] males, and every first-born of my sons  I ransom; 
02O 013:016 and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for  frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath  Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.' 
02O 013:017 And it cometh to pass in Pharaoh's sending the people  away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the  Philistines, for it [is] near; for God said, `Lest the people  repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards  Egypt;' 
02O 013:018 and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness  of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up  from the land of Egypt. 
02O 013:019 And Moses taketh the bones of Joseph with him, for he  certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, `God  doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones  from this with you.' 
02O 013:020 And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the  extremity of the wilderness, 
02O 013:021 and Jehovah is going before them by day in a pillar of a  cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of  fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night; 
02O 013:022 He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the  pillar of the fire by night, [from] before the people. 
02O 014:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 014:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they turn back and  encamp before Pi-Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, before  Baal-Zephon; over-against it ye do encamp by the sea, 
02O 014:003 and Pharaoh hath said of the sons of Israel, They are  entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut upon them; 
02O 014:004 and I have strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hath  pursued after them, and I am honoured on Pharaoh, and on all  his force, and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah;'  and they do so. 
02O 014:005 And it is declared to the king of Egypt that the people  hath fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants is  turned against the people, and they say, `What [is] this we  have done? that we have sent Israel away from our service.' 
02O 014:006 And he harnesseth his chariot, and his people he hath taken  with him, 
02O 014:007 and he taketh six hundred chosen chariots, even all the  chariots of Egypt, and captains over them all; 
02O 014:008 and Jehovah strengtheneth the heart of Pharaoh king of  Egypt, and he pursueth after the sons of Israel, and the sons  of Israel are going out with a high hand, 
02O 014:009 and the Egyptians pursue after them, and all the chariot  horses of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his force, overtake  them, encamping by the sea, by Pi-Hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon. 
02O 014:010 And Pharaoh hath drawn near, and the sons of Israel lift  up their eyes, and lo, the Egyptians are journeying after  them, and they fear exceedingly, and the sons of Israel cry  unto Jehovah. 
02O 014:011 And they say unto Moses, `Because there are no graves in  Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in a wilderness? what is  this thou hast done to us -- to bring us out from Egypt? 
02O 014:012 Is not this the word which we spake unto thee in Egypt,  saying, Cease from us, and we serve the Egyptians; for better  for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in a wilderness?' 
02O 014:013 And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, station  yourselves, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He doth for  you to-day; for, as ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye add  no more to see them -- to the age; 
02O 014:014 Jehovah doth fight for you, and ye keep silent.' 
02O 014:015 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `What? thou criest unto Me  -- speak unto the sons of Israel, and they journey; 
02O 014:016 and thou, lift up thy rod, and stretch out thy hand  towards the sea, and cleave it, and the sons of Israel go into  the midst of the sea on dry land. 
02O 014:017 `And I -- lo, I am strengthening the heart of the  Egyptians, and they go in after them, and I am honoured on  Pharaoh, and on all his force, on his chariots, and on his  horsemen; 
02O 014:018 and the Egyptians have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My  being honoured on Pharaoh, on his chariots, and on his  horsemen.' 
02O 014:019 And the messenger of God, who is going before the camp of  Israel, journeyeth and goeth at their rear; and the pillar of  the cloud journeyeth from their front, and standeth at their  rear, 
02O 014:020 and cometh in between the camp of the Egyptians and the  camp of Israel, and the cloud and the darkness are, and he  enlighteneth the night, and the one hath not drawn near unto  the other all the night. 
02O 014:021 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and  Jehovah causeth the sea to go on by a strong east wind all the  night, and maketh the sea become dry ground, and the waters are  cleaved, 
02O 014:022 and the sons of Israel go into the midst of the sea, on  dry land, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their right  and on their left. 
02O 014:023 And the Egyptians pursue, and go in after them (all the  horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen) unto the  midst of the sea, 
02O 014:024 and it cometh to pass, in the morning watch, that Jehovah  looketh unto the camp of the Egyptians through the pillar of  fire and of the cloud, and troubleth the camp of the Egyptians, 
02O 014:025 and turneth aside the wheels of their chariots, and they  lead them with difficulty, and the Egyptians say, `Let us flee  from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them  against the Egyptians.' 
02O 014:026 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Stretch out thy hand toward  the sea, and the waters turn back on the Egyptians, on their  chariots, and on their horsemen.' 
02O 014:027 And Moses stretcheth out his hand towards the sea, and the  sea turneth back, at the turning of the morning, to its  perennial flow, and the Egyptians are fleeing at its coming,  and Jehovah shaketh off the Egyptians in the midst of the sea, 
02O 014:028 and the waters turn back, and cover the chariots and the  horsemen, even all the force of Pharaoh, who are coming in  after them into the sea -- there hath not been left of them  even one. 
02O 014:029 And the sons of Israel have gone on dry land in the midst  of the sea, and the waters [are] to them a wall, on their  right and on their left; 
02O 014:030 and Jehovah saveth Israel in that day out of the hand of  the Egyptians, and Israel seeth the Egyptians dead on the  sea-shore, 
02O 014:031 and Israel seeth the great hand with which Jehovah hath  wrought against the Egyptians, and the people fear Jehovah,  and remain stedfast in Jehovah, and in Moses His servant. 
02O 015:001 Then singeth Moses and the sons of Israel this song to  Jehovah, and they speak, saying: -- `I sing to Jehovah, For  triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath  thrown into the sea. 
02O 015:002 My strength and song is JAH, And He is become my salvation:  This [is] my God, and I glorify Him; God of my father, and I  exalt Him. 
02O 015:003 Jehovah [is] a man of battle; Jehovah [is] His name. 
02O 015:004 Chariots of Pharaoh and his force He hath cast into the  sea; And the choice of his captains Have sunk in the Red Sea! 
02O 015:005 The depths do cover them; They went down into the depths as  a stone. 
02O 015:006 Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Is become honourable in power;  Thy right hand, O Jehovah, Doth crush an enemy. 
02O 015:007 And in the abundance of Thine excellency Thou throwest down  Thy withstanders, Thou sendest forth Thy wrath -- It consumeth  them as stubble. 
02O 015:008 And by the spirit of Thine anger Have waters been heaped  together; Stood as a heap have flowings; Congealed have been  depths In the heart of a sea. 
02O 015:009 The enemy said, I pursue, I overtake; I apportion spoil;  Filled is my soul with them; I draw out my sword; My hand  destroyeth them: -- 
02O 015:010 Thou hast blown with Thy wind The sea hath covered them;  They sank as lead in mighty waters. 
02O 015:011 Who [is] like Thee among the gods, O Jehovah? Who [is]  like Thee -- honourable in holiness -- Fearful in praises --  doing wonders? 
02O 015:012 Thou hast stretched out Thy right hand -- Earth swalloweth  them! 
02O 015:013 Thou hast led forth in Thy kindness The people whom Thou  hast redeemed. Thou hast led on in Thy strength Unto Thy holy  habitation. 
02O 015:014 Peoples have heard, they are troubled; Pain hath seized  inhabitants of Philistia. 
02O 015:015 Then have chiefs of Edom been troubled: Mighty ones of  Moab -- Trembling doth seize them! Melted have all inhabitants  of Canaan! 
02O 015:016 Fall on them doth terror and dread; By the greatness of  Thine arm They are still as a stone, Till Thy people pass over,  O Jehovah; Till the people pass over Whom Thou hast purchased. 
02O 015:017 Thou dost bring them in, And dost plant them In a mountain  of Thine inheritance, A fixed place for Thy dwelling Thou hast  made, O Jehovah; A sanctuary, O Lord, Thy hands have  established; 
02O 015:018 Jehovah reigneth -- to the age, and for ever!' 
02O 015:019 For the horse of Pharaoh hath gone in with his chariots  and with his horsemen into the sea, and Jehovah turneth back on  them the waters of the sea, and the sons of Israel have gone on  dry land in the midst of the sea. 
02O 015:020 And Miriam the inspired one, sister of Aaron, taketh the  timbrel in her hand, and all the women go out after her, with  timbrels and with choruses; 
02O 015:021 and Miriam answereth to them: -- `Sing ye to Jehovah, For  Triumphing He hath triumphed; The horse and its rider He hath  thrown into the sea!' 
02O 015:022 And Moses causeth Israel to journey from the Red Sea, and  they go out unto the wilderness of Shur, and they go three days  in the wilderness, and have not found water, 
02O 015:023 and they come in to Marah, and have not been able to drink  the waters of Marah, for they [are] bitter; therefore hath  [one] called its name Marah. 
02O 015:024 And the people murmur against Moses, saying, `What do we  drink?' 
02O 015:025 and he crieth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah sheweth him a  tree, and he casteth unto the waters, and the waters become  sweet. There He hath made for them a statute, and an  ordinance, and there He hath tried them, 
02O 015:026 and He saith, `If thou dost really hearken to the voice of  Jehovah thy God, and dost that which is right in His eyes, and  hast hearkened to His commands, and kept all His statutes: none  of the sickness which I laid on the Egyptians do I lay on thee,  for I, Jehovah, am healing thee. 
02O 015:027 And they come to Elim, and there [are] twelve fountains of  water, and seventy palm trees; and they encamp there by the  waters. 
02O 016:001 And they journey from Elim, and all the company of the sons  of Israel come in unto the wilderness of Sin, which [is]  between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second  month of their going out from the land of Egypt. 
02O 016:002 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur against  Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness; 
02O 016:003 and the sons of Israel say unto them, `Oh that we had died  by the hand of Jehovah in the land of Egypt, in our sitting by  the flesh-pot, in our eating bread to satiety -- for ye have  brought us out unto this wilderness to put all this assembly to  death with hunger.' 
02O 016:004 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am raining to you  bread from the heavens -- and the people have gone out and  gathered the matter of a day in its day -- so that I try them  whether they walk in My law, or not; 
02O 016:005 and it hath been on the sixth day, that they have prepared  that which they bring in, and it hath been double above that  which they gather day [by] day.' 
02O 016:006 And Moses saith -- Aaron also -- unto all the sons of  Israel, `Evening -- and ye have known that Jehovah hath brought  you out from the land of Egypt; 
02O 016:007 and morning -- and ye have seen the honour of Jehovah, in  His hearing your murmurings against Jehovah, and what [are]  we, that ye murmur against us?' 
02O 016:008 And Moses saith, `In Jehovah's giving to you in the evening  flesh to eat, and bread in the morning to satiety -- in  Jehovah's hearing your murmurings, which ye are murmuring  against Him, and what [are] we? your murmurings [are] not  against us, but against Jehovah.' 
02O 016:009 And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Say unto all the company of  the sons of Israel, Come ye near before Jehovah, for He hath  heard your murmurings;' 
02O 016:010 and it cometh to pass, when Aaron is speaking unto all the  company of the sons of Israel, that they turn towards the  wilderness, and lo, the honour of Jehovah is seen in the cloud. 
02O 016:011 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 016:012 `I have heard the murmurings of the sons of Israel; speak  unto them, saying, Between the evenings ye eat flesh, and in  the morning ye are satisfied [with] bread, and ye have known  that I [am] Jehovah your God.' 
02O 016:013 And it cometh to pass in the evening, that the quail  cometh up, and covereth the camp, and in the morning there hath  been the lying of dew round about the camp, 
02O 016:014 and the lying of the dew goeth up, and lo, on the face of  the wilderness a thin, bare thing, thin as hoar-frost on the  earth. 
02O 016:015 And the sons of Israel see, and say one unto another,  `What [is] it?' for they have not known what it [is]; and Moses  saith unto them, `It [is] the bread which Jehovah hath given to  you for food. 
02O 016:016 `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded: Gather  of it each according to his eating, an omer for a poll; and the  number of your persons, take ye each for those in his tent.' 
02O 016:017 And the sons of Israel do so, and they gather, he who is  [gathering] much, and he who is [gathering] little; 
02O 016:018 and they measure with an omer, and he who is [gathering]  much hath nothing over, and he who is [gathering] little hath  no lack, each according to his eating they have gathered. 
02O 016:019 And Moses saith unto them, `Let no man leave of it till  morning;' 
02O 016:020 and they have not hearkened unto Moses, and some of them  do leave of it till morning, and it bringeth up worms and  stinketh; and Moses is wroth with them. 
02O 016:021 And they gather it morning by morning, each according to  his eating; when the sun hath been warm, then it hath melted. 
02O 016:022 And it cometh to pass on the sixth day, they have gathered  a second bread, two omers for one, and all the princes of the  company come in, and declare to Moses. 
02O 016:023 And he saith unto them, `It [is] that which Jehovah hath  spoken [of]; a rest -- a holy sabbath to Jehovah -- [is]  to-morrow; that which ye bake, bake; and that which ye boil,  boil; and all that is over, let rest for yourselves in charge  till the morning.' 
02O 016:024 And they let it rest until the morning, as Moses hath  commanded, and it hath not stank, and a worm hath not been in  it. 
02O 016:025 And Moses saith, `Eat it to-day, for to-day [is] a sabbath  to Jehovah; to-day ye find it not in the field: 
02O 016:026 six days ye do gather it, and in the seventh day -- the  sabbath -- in it there is none.' 
02O 016:027 And it cometh to pass on the seventh day, some of the  people have gone out to gather, and have not found. 
02O 016:028 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `How long have ye refused to  keep My commands, and My laws? 
02O 016:029 see, because Jehovah hath given to you the sabbath,  therefore He is giving to you on the sixth day bread of two  days; abide ye each [in] his place, no one doth go out from his  place on the seventh day.' 
02O 016:030 And the people rest on the seventh day, 
02O 016:031 and the house of Israel call its name Manna, and it [is]  as coriander seed, white; and its taste [is] as a cake with  honey. 
02O 016:032 And Moses saith, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath  commanded: Fill the omer with it, for a charge for your  generations, so that they see the bread which I have caused you  to eat in the wilderness, in My bringing you out from the land  of Egypt.' 
02O 016:033 And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take one pot, and put there  the fulness of the omer of manna, and let it rest before  Jehovah, for a charge for your generations;' 
02O 016:034 as Jehovah hath given commandment unto Moses, so doth  Aaron let it rest before the Testimony, for a charge. 
02O 016:035 And the sons of Israel have eaten the manna forty years,  until their coming in unto the land to be inhabited; the manna  they have eaten till their coming in unto the extremity of the  land of Canaan. 
02O 016:036 and the omer is a tenth of the ephah. 
02O 017:001 And all the company of the sons of Israel journey from the  wilderness of Sin, on their journeyings, by the command of  Jehovah, and encamp in Rephidim, and there is no water for the  people to drink; 
02O 017:002 and the people strive with Moses, and say, `Give us water,  and we drink.' And Moses saith to them, `What? -- ye strive  with me, what? -- ye try Jehovah?' 
02O 017:003 and the people thirst there for water, and the people  murmur against Moses, and say, `Why [is] this? -- thou hast  brought us up out of Egypt, to put us to death, also our sons  and our cattle, with thirst.' 
02O 017:004 And Moses crieth to Jehovah, saying, `What do I to this  people? yet a little, and they have stoned me.' 
02O 017:005 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Pass over before the people,  and take with thee of the elders of Israel, and thy rod with  which thou hast smitten the River take in thy hand, and thou  hast gone: 
02O 017:006 Lo, I am standing before thee there on the rock in Horeb,  and thou hast smitten on the rock, and waters have come out  from it, and the people have drunk.' And Moses doth so before  the eyes of the elders of Israel, 
02O 017:007 and he calleth the name of the place Massah, and Meribah,  because of the `strife' of the sons of Israel, and because of  their `trying' Jehovah, saying, `Is Jehovah in our midst or  not?' 
02O 017:008 And Amalek cometh, and fighteth with Israel in Rephidim, 
02O 017:009 and Moses saith unto Joshua, `Choose for us men, and go  out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I am standing on the top of  the hill, and the rod of God in my hand.' 
02O 017:010 And Joshua doth as Moses hath said to him, to fight with  Amalek, and Moses, Aaron, and Hur, have gone up [to] the top  of the height; 
02O 017:011 and it hath come to pass, when Moses lifteth up his hand,  that Israel hath been mighty, and when he letteth his hands  rest, that Amalek hath been mighty. 
02O 017:012 And the hands of Moses [are] heavy, and they take a stone,  and set [it] under him, and he sitteth on it: and Aaron and  Hur have taken hold on his hands, on this side one, and on  that one, and his hands are stedfast till the going in of the  sun; 
02O 017:013 and Joshua weakeneth Amalek and his people by the mouth of  the sword. 
02O 017:014 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write this, a memorial in a  Book, and set [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I do utterly  wipe away the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens;' 
02O 017:015 and Moses buildeth an altar, and calleth its name  Jehovah-Nissi, 
02O 017:016 and saith, `Because a hand [is] on the throne of Jah, war  [is] to Jehovah with Amalek from generation -- generation.' 
02O 018:001 And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses,  heareth all that God hath done for Moses, and for Israel his  people, that Jehovah hath brought out Israel from Egypt, 
02O 018:002 and Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, taketh Zipporah, wife  of Moses, besides her parents, 
02O 018:003 and her two sons, of whom the name of the one [is] Gershom,  for he said, `a sojourner I have been in a strange land:' 
02O 018:004 and the name of the other [is] Eliezer, for, `the God of my  father [is] for my help, and doth deliver me from the sword of  Pharaoh.' 
02O 018:005 And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, cometh, and his sons,  and his wife, unto Moses, unto the wilderness where he is  encamping -- the mount of God; 
02O 018:006 and he saith unto Moses, `I, thy father-in-law, Jethro, am  coming unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.' 
02O 018:007 And Moses goeth out to meet his father-in-law, and boweth  himself, and kisseth him, and they ask one at another of  welfare, and come into the tent; 
02O 018:008 and Moses recounteth to his father-in-law all that Jehovah  hath done to Pharaoh, and to the Egyptians, on account of  Israel, all the travail which hath found them in the way, and  Jehovah doth deliver them. 
02O 018:009 And Jethro rejoiceth for all the good which Jehovah hath  done to Israel, whom He hath delivered from the hand of the  Egyptians; 
02O 018:010 and Jethro saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, who hath  delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians, and from the hand  of Pharaoh -- who hath delivered this people from under the  hand of the Egyptians; 
02O 018:011 now I have known that Jehovah [is] greater than all the  gods, for in the thing they have acted proudly -- [He is] above  them!' 
02O 018:012 And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, taketh a  burnt-offering and sacrifices for God; and Aaron cometh in,  and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with the  father-in-law of Moses, before God. 
02O 018:013 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Moses sitteth to  judge the people, and the people stand before Moses, from the  morning unto the evening; 
02O 018:014 and the father-in-law of Moses seeth all that he is doing  to the people, and saith, `What [is] this thing which thou art  doing to the people? wherefore art thou sitting by thyself, and  all the people standing by thee from morning till evening?' 
02O 018:015 And Moses saith to his father-in-law, `Because the people  come unto me to seek God; 
02O 018:016 when they have a matter, it hath come unto me, and I have  judged between a man and his neighbour, and made known the  statutes of God, and His laws.' 
02O 018:017 And the father-in-law of Moses saith unto him, `The thing  which thou art doing [is] not good; 
02O 018:018 thou dost surely wear away, both thou, and this people  which [is] with thee, for the thing is too heavy for thee,  thou art not able to do it by thyself. 
02O 018:019 `Now, hearken to my voice, I counsel thee, and God is with  thee: be thou for the people over-against God, and thou hast  brought in the things unto God; 
02O 018:020 and thou hast warned them [concerning] the statutes and  the laws, and hast made known to them the way in which they go,  and the work which they do. 
02O 018:021 `And thou -- thou dost provide out of all the people men of  ability, fearing God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain, and  hast placed [these] over them, heads of thousands, heads of  hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens, 
02O 018:022 and they have judged the people at all times; and it hath  come to pass, every great matter they bring in unto thee, and  every small matter they judge themselves; and lighten it from  off thyself, and they have borne with thee. 
02O 018:023 If thou dost this thing, and God hath commanded thee, then  thou hast been able to stand, and all this people also goeth  in unto its place in peace.' 
02O 018:024 And Moses hearkeneth to the voice of his father-in-law,  and doth all that he said, 
02O 018:025 and Moses chooseth men of ability out of all Israel, and  maketh them chiefs over the people, heads of thousands, heads  of hundreds, heads of fifties, and heads of tens, 
02O 018:026 and they have judged the people at all times; the hard  matter they bring in unto Moses, and every small matter they  judge themselves. 
02O 018:027 And Moses sendeth his father-in-law away, and he goeth  away unto his own land. 
02O 019:001 In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel  from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the  wilderness of Sinai, 
02O 019:002 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of  Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth  there before the mount. 
02O 019:003 And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto  him out of the mount, saying, `Thus dost thou say to the house  of Jacob, and declare to the sons of Israel, 
02O 019:004 Ye -- ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians,  and I bear you on eagles' wings, and bring you in unto Myself. 
02O 019:005 `And now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have  kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than  all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine; 
02O 019:006 and ye -- ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy  nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the  sons of Israel.' 
02O 019:007 And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people,  and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath  commanded him; 
02O 019:008 and all the people answer together and say, `All that  Jehovah hath spoken we do;' and Moses returneth the words of  the people unto Jehovah. 
02O 019:009 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, I am coming unto thee in  the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My  speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;' and  Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah. 
02O 019:010 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go unto the people; and  thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have  washed their garments, 
02O 019:011 and have been prepared for the third day; for on the third  day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people,  on mount Sinai. 
02O 019:012 `And thou hast made a border [for] the people round about,  saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or  coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the  mount is certainly put to death; 
02O 019:013 a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned  or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the  drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.' 
02O 019:014 And Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and  sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments; 
02O 019:015 and he saith unto the people, `Be ye prepared for the  third day, come not nigh unto a woman.' 
02O 019:016 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is  morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy  cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong;  and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble. 
02O 019:017 And Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the  camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the  mount, 
02O 019:018 and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of  Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth  up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth  exceedingly; 
02O 019:019 and the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong;  Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice. 
02O 019:020 And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of  the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the  mount, and Moses goeth up. 
02O 019:021 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go down, protest to the  people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many  of them have fallen; 
02O 019:022 and also the priests who are coming nigh unto Jehovah do  sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.' 
02O 019:023 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `The people [is] unable to  come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou -- Thou hast protested to  us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast  sanctified it.' 
02O 019:024 And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go, descend, then thou hast  come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the  people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He  break forth upon them.' 
02O 019:025 And Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them:  -- 
02O 020:001 `And God speaketh all these words, saying, 
02O 020:002 I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the  land of Egypt, out of a house of servants. 
02O 020:003 `Thou hast no other Gods before Me. 
02O 020:004 `Thou dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any  likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the  earth beneath, or which [is] in the waters under the earth. 
02O 020:005 Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I,  Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of  fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth,  of those hating Me, 
02O 020:006 and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and  keeping My commands. 
02O 020:007 `Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a  vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His  name for a vain thing. 
02O 020:008 `Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it; 
02O 020:009 six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work, 
02O 020:010 and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God;  thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter,  thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy  sojourner who is within thy gates, -- 
02O 020:011 for six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth,  the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh  day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth  sanctify it. 
02O 020:012 `Honour thy father and thy mother, so that thy days are  prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to  thee. 
02O 020:013 `Thou dost not murder. 
02O 020:014 `Thou dost not commit adultery. 
02O 020:015 `Thou dost not steal. 
02O 020:016 `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false  testimony. 
02O 020:017 `Thou dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou  dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant,  or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is]  thy neighbour's.' 
02O 020:018 And all the people are seeing the voices, and the flames,  and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the  people see, and move, and stand afar off, 
02O 020:019 and say unto Moses, `Speak thou with us, and we hear, and  let not God speak with us, lest we die.' 
02O 020:020 And Moses saith unto the people, `Fear not, for to try you  hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your  faces -- that ye sin not.' 
02O 020:021 And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh  unto the thick darkness where God [is]. 
02O 020:022 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Thus dost thou say unto the  sons of Israel: Ye -- ye have seen that from the heavens I have  spoken with you; 
02O 020:023 ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold  ye do not make to yourselves. 
02O 020:024 `An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast  sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings,  thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name  to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed thee. 
02O 020:025 `And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost  not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over  it, then thou dost pollute it; 
02O 020:026 neither dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy  nakedness be not revealed upon it. 
02O 021:001 `And these [are] the judgments which thou dost set before  them: 
02O 021:002 `When thou buyest a Hebrew servant -- six years he doth  serve, and in the seventh he goeth out as a freeman for nought; 
02O 021:003 if by himself he cometh in, by himself he goeth out; if he  [is] owner of a wife, then his wife hath gone out with him; 
02O 021:004 if his lord give to him a wife, and she hath borne to him  sons or daughters -- the wife and her children are her lord's,  and he goeth out by himself. 
02O 021:005 `And if the servant really say: I have loved my lord, my  wife, and my sons -- I do not go out free; 
02O 021:006 then hath his lord brought him nigh unto God, and hath  brought him nigh unto the door, or unto the side-post, and his  lord hath bored his ear with an awl, and he hath served him --  to the age. 
02O 021:007 `And when a man selleth his daughter for a handmaid, she  doth not go out according to the going out of the men-servants; 
02O 021:008 if evil in the eyes of her lord, so that he hath not  betrothed her, then he hath let her be ransomed; to a strange  people he hath not power to sell her, in his dealing  treacherously with her. 
02O 021:009 `And if to his son he betroth her, according to the right  of daughters he doth to her. 
02O 021:010 `If another [woman] he take for him, her food, her  covering, and her habitation, he doth not withdraw; 
02O 021:011 and if these three he do not to her, then she hath gone  out for nought, without money. 
02O 021:012 `He who smiteth a man so that he hath died, is certainly  put to death; 
02O 021:013 as to him who hath not laid wait, and God hath brought to  his hand, I have even set for thee a place whither he doth  flee. 
02O 021:014 `And when a man doth presume against his neighbour to slay  him with subtilty, from Mine altar thou dost take him to die. 
02O 021:015 `And he who smiteth his father or his mother is certainly  put to death. 
02O 021:016 `And he who stealeth a man, and hath sold him, and he hath  been found in his hand, is certainly put to death. 
02O 021:017 `And he who is reviling his father or his mother is  certainly put to death. 
02O 021:018 `And when men contend, and a man hath smitten his  neighbour with a stone, or with the fist, and he die not, but  hath fallen on the bed; 
02O 021:019 if he rise, and hath gone up and down without on his  staff, then hath the smiter been acquitted; only his cessation  he giveth, and he is thoroughly healed. 
02O 021:020 `And when a man smiteth his man-servant or his handmaid,  with a rod, and he hath died under his hand -- he is certainly  avenged; 
02O 021:021 only if he remain a day, or two days, he is not avenged,  for he [is] his money. 
02O 021:022 `And when men strive, and have smitten a pregnant woman,  and her children have come out, and there is no mischief, he is  certainly fined, as the husband of the woman doth lay upon him,  and he hath given through the judges; 
02O 021:023 and if there is mischief, then thou hast given life for  life, 
02O 021:024 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for  foot, 
02O 021:025 burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe. 
02O 021:026 `And when a man smiteth the eye of his man-servant, or the  eye of his handmaid, and hath destroyed it, as a freeman he  doth send him away for his eye; 
02O 021:027 and if a tooth of his man-servant or a tooth of his  handmaid he knock out, as a freeman he doth send him away for  his tooth. 
02O 021:028 `And when an ox doth gore man or woman, and they have  died, the ox is certainly stoned, and his flesh is not eaten,  and the owner of the ox [is] acquitted; 
02O 021:029 and if the ox is [one] accustomed to gore heretofore, and  it hath been testified to its owner, and he doth not watch it,  and it hath put to death a man or woman, the ox is stoned, and  its owner also is put to death. 
02O 021:030 `If atonement is laid upon him, then he hath given the  ransom of his life, according to all that is laid upon him; 
02O 021:031 whether it gore a son or gore a daughter, according to  this judgment it is done to him. 
02O 021:032 `If the ox gore a man-servant or a handmaid, thirty silver  shekels he doth give to their lord, and the ox is stoned. 
02O 021:033 `And when a man doth open a pit, or when a man doth dig a  pit, and doth not cover it, and an ox or ass hath fallen  thither, -- 
02O 021:034 the owner of the pit doth repay, money he doth give back  to its owner, and the dead is his. 
02O 021:035 `And when a man's ox doth smite the ox of his neighbour,  and it hath died, then they have sold the living ox, and halved  its money, and also the dead one they do halve; 
02O 021:036 or, it hath been known that the ox is [one] accustomed to  gore heretofore, and its owner doth not watch it, he certainly  repayeth ox for ox, and the dead is his. 
02O 022:001 `When a man doth steal an ox or sheep, and hath slaughtered  it or sold it, five of the herd he doth repay for the ox, and  four of the flock for the sheep. 
02O 022:002 `If in the breaking through, the thief is found, and he  hath been smitten, and hath died, there is no blood for him; 
02O 022:003 if the sun hath risen upon him, blood [is] for him, he doth  certainly repay; if he have nothing, then he hath been sold for  his theft; 
02O 022:004 if the theft is certainly found in his hand alive, whether  ox, or ass, or sheep -- double he repayeth. 
02O 022:005 `When a man depastureth a field or vineyard, and hath sent  out his beast, and it hath pastured in the field of another,  [of] the best of his field, and the best of his vineyard, he  doth repay. 
02O 022:006 `When fire goeth forth, and hath found thorns, and a stack,  or the standing corn, or the field, hath been consumed, he who  causeth the burning doth certainly repay. 
02O 022:007 `When a man doth give unto his neighbour silver, or vessels  to keep, and it hath been stolen out of the man's house; if the  thief is found, he repayeth double. 
02O 022:008 `If the thief is not found, then the master of the house  hath been brought near unto God, whether he hath not put forth  his hand against the work of his neighbour; 
02O 022:009 for every matter of transgression, for ox, for ass, for  sheep, for raiment, for any lost thing of which it is said that  it is his; unto God cometh the matter of them both; he whom God  doth condemn, he repayeth double to his neighbour. 
02O 022:010 `When a man doth give unto his neighbour an ass, or ox, or  sheep, or any beast to keep, and it hath died, or hath been  hurt, or taken captive, none seeing -- 
02O 022:011 an oath of Jehovah is between them both, that he hath not  put forth his hand against the work of his neighbour, and its  owner hath accepted, and he doth not repay; 
02O 022:012 but if it is certainly stolen from him, he doth repay to  its owner; 
02O 022:013 if it is certainly torn, he bringeth it in -- a witness;  the torn thing he doth not repay. 
02O 022:014 `And when a man doth ask [anything] from his neighbour,  and it hath been hurt or hath died -- its owner not being with  it -- he doth certainly repay; 
02O 022:015 if its owner [is] with it, he doth not repay, -- if it  [is] a hired thing, it hath come for its hire. 
02O 022:016 `And when a man doth entice a virgin who [is] not  betrothed, and hath lain with her, he doth certainly endow her  to himself for a wife; 
02O 022:017 if her father utterly refuse to give her to him, money he  doth weigh out according to the dowry of virgins. 
02O 022:018 `A witch thou dost not keep alive. 
02O 022:019 `Whoever lieth with a beast is certainly put to death. 
02O 022:020 `He who is sacrificing to a god, save to Jehovah alone, is  devoted. 
02O 022:021 `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, nor crush him, for  sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt. 
02O 022:022 `Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict; 
02O 022:023 if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry  unto Me, I certainly hear his cry; 
02O 022:024 and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the  sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans. 
02O 022:025 `If thou dost lend My poor people with thee money, thou  art not to him as a usurer; thou dost not lay on him usury; 
02O 022:026 if thou dost at all take in pledge the garment of thy  neighbour, during the going in of the sun thou dost return it  to him: 
02O 022:027 for it alone is his covering, it [is] his garment for his  skin; wherein doth he lie down? and it hath come to pass, when  he doth cry unto Me, that I have heard, for I [am] gracious. 
02O 022:028 `God thou dost not revile, and a prince among thy people  thou dost not curse. 
02O 022:029 `Thy fulness and thy liquids thou dost not delay; the  first-born of thy sons thou dost give to Me; 
02O 022:030 so thou dost to thine ox, to thy sheep; seven days it is  with its dam, on the eighth day thou dost give it to Me. 
02O 022:031 `And ye are holy men to Me, and flesh torn in the field ye  do not eat, to a dog ye do cast it. 
02O 023:001 `Thou dost not lift up a vain report; thou dost not put thy  hand with a wicked man to be a violent witness. 
02O 023:002 `Thou art not after many to evil, nor dost thou testify  concerning a strife, to turn aside after many to cause [others]  to turn aside; 
02O 023:003 and a poor man thou dost not honour in his strife. 
02O 023:004 `When thou meetest thine enemy's ox or his ass going  astray, thou dost certainly turn it back to him; 
02O 023:005 when thou seest the ass of him who is hating thee crouching  under its burden, then thou hast ceased from leaving [it] to  it -- thou dost certainly leave [it] with him. 
02O 023:006 `Thou dost not turn aside the judgment of thy needy one in  his strife; 
02O 023:007 from a false matter thou dost keep far off, and an innocent  and righteous man thou dost not slay; for I do not justify a  wicked man. 
02O 023:008 `And a bribe thou dost not take; for the bribe bindeth the  open-[eyed], and perverteth the words of the righteous. 
02O 023:009 `And a sojourner thou dost not oppress, and ye -- ye have  known the soul of the sojourner, for sojourners ye have been in  the land of Egypt. 
02O 023:010 `And six years thou dost sow thy land, and hast gathered  its increase; 
02O 023:011 and the seventh thou dost release it, and hast left it,  and the needy of thy people have eaten, and their leaving doth  the beast of the field eat; so dost thou to thy vineyard -- to  thine olive-yard. 
02O 023:012 `Six days thou dost do thy work, and on the seventh day  thou dost rest, so that thine ox and thine ass doth rest, and  the son of thine handmaid and the sojourner is refreshed; 
02O 023:013 and in all that which I have said unto you ye do take  heed; and the name of other gods ye do not mention; it is not  heard on thy mouth. 
02O 023:014 `Three times thou dost keep a feast to Me in a year; 
02O 023:015 the Feast of Unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days  thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at  the time appointed [in] the month of Abib; for in it thou hast  come forth out of Egypt, and ye do not appear [in] My presence  empty; 
02O 023:016 and the Feast of Harvest, the first fruits of thy works  which thou sowest in the field; and the Feast of the  In-Gathering, in the outgoing of the year, in thy gathering  thy works out of the field. 
02O 023:017 `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the  face of the Lord Jehovah. 
02O 023:018 `Thou dost not sacrifice on a fermented thing the blood of  My sacrifice, and the fat of My festival doth not remain till  morning; 
02O 023:019 the beginning of the first-fruits of thy ground thou dost  bring into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a  kid in its mother's milk. 
02O 023:020 `Lo, I am sending a messenger before thee to keep thee in  the way, and to bring thee in unto the place which I have  prepared; 
02O 023:021 be watchful because of his presence, and hearken to his  voice, rebel not against him, for he beareth not with your  transgression, for My name [is] in his heart; 
02O 023:022 for, if thou diligently hearken to his voice, and hast  done all that which I speak, then I have been at enmity with  thine enemies, and have distressed those distressing thee. 
02O 023:023 `For My messenger goeth before thee, and hath brought thee  in unto the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and  the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I have cut  them off. 
02O 023:024 `Thou dost not bow thyself to their gods, nor serve them,  nor do according to their doings, but dost utterly devote them,  and thoroughly break their standing pillars. 
02O 023:025 `And ye have served Jehovah your God, and He hath blessed  thy bread and thy water, and I have turned aside sickness from  thine heart; 
02O 023:026 there is not a miscarrying and barren one in thy land; the  number of thy days I fulfil: 
02O 023:027 My terror I send before thee, and I have put to death all  the people among whom thou comest, and I have given the neck of  all thine enemies unto thee. 
02O 023:028 `And I have sent the hornet before thee, and it hath cast  out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before  thee; 
02O 023:029 I cast them not out from before thee in one year, lest the  land be a desolation, and the beast of the field hath  multiplied against thee; 
02O 023:030 little [by] little I cast them out from before thee, till  thou art fruitful, and hast inherited the land. 
02O 023:031 `And I have set thy border from the Red Sea, even unto the  sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness unto the River:  for I give into your hand the inhabitants of the land, and thou  hast cast them out from before thee; 
02O 023:032 thou dost not make a covenant with them, and with their  gods; 
02O 023:033 they do not dwell in thy land, lest they cause thee to sin  against Me when thou servest their gods, when it becometh a  snare to thee.' 
02O 024:001 And unto Moses He said, `Come up unto Jehovah, thou, and  Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel,  and ye have bowed yourselves afar off;' 
02O 024:002 and Moses hath drawn nigh by himself unto Jehovah; and they  draw not nigh, and the people go not up with him. 
02O 024:003 And Moses cometh in, and recounteth to the people all the  words of Jehovah, and all the judgments, and all the people  answer -- one voice, and say, `All the words which Jehovah hath  spoken we do.' 
02O 024:004 And Moses writeth all the words of Jehovah, and riseth  early in the morning, and buildeth an altar under the hill, and  twelve standing pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel; 
02O 024:005 and he sendeth the youths of the sons of Israel, and they  cause burnt-offerings to ascend, and sacrifice sacrifices of  peace-offerings to Jehovah -- calves. 
02O 024:006 And Moses taketh half of the blood, and putteth in basins,  and half of the blood hath he sprinkled on the altar; 
02O 024:007 and he taketh the Book of the Covenant, and proclaimeth in  the ears of the people, and they say, `All that which Jehovah  hath spoken we do, and obey.' 
02O 024:008 And Moses taketh the blood, and sprinkleth on the people,  and saith, `Lo, the blood of the covenant which Jehovah hath  made with you, concerning all these things.' 
02O 024:009 And Moses goeth up, Aaron also, Nadab and Abihu, and  seventy of the elders of Israel, 
02O 024:010 and they see the God of Israel, and under His feet [is] as  the white work of the sapphire, and as the substance of the  heavens for purity; 
02O 024:011 and unto those of the sons of Israel who are near He hath  not put forth His hand, and they see God, and eat and drink. 
02O 024:012 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Come up unto Me to the  mount, and be there, and I give to thee the tables of stone,  and the law, and the command, which I have written to direct  them.' 
02O 024:013 And Moses riseth -- Joshua his minister also -- and Moses  goeth up unto the mount of God; 
02O 024:014 and unto the elders he hath said, `Abide ye for us in this  [place], until that we turn back unto you, and lo, Aaron and  Hur [are] with you -- he who hath matters doth come nigh unto  them.' 
02O 024:015 And Moses goeth up unto the mount, and the cloud covereth  the mount; 
02O 024:016 and the honour of Jehovah doth tabernacle on mount Sinai,  and the cloud covereth it six days, and He calleth unto Moses  on the seventh day from the midst of the cloud. 
02O 024:017 And the appearance of the honour of Jehovah [is] as a  consuming fire on the top of the mount, before the eyes of the  sons of Israel; 
02O 024:018 and Moses goeth into the midst of the cloud, and goeth up  unto the mount, and Moses is on the mount forty days and forty  nights. 
02O 025:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 025:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they take for Me a  heave-offering; from every man whose heart impelleth him ye do  take My heave-offering. 
02O 025:003 `And this [is] the heave-offering which ye take from them;  gold, and silver, and brass, 
02O 025:004 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats'  [hair], 
02O 025:005 and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim  wood, 
02O 025:006 oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for  the perfume of the spices, 
02O 025:007 shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for  a breastplate. 
02O 025:008 `And they have made for Me a sanctuary, and I have  tabernacled in their midst; 
02O 025:009 according to all that which I am shewing thee, the pattern  of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so  ye do make [it]. 
02O 025:010 `And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and  a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a  cubit and a half its height; 
02O 025:011 and thou hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, within and  without thou dost overlay it, and thou hast made on it a ring  of gold round about. 
02O 025:012 `And thou hast cast for it four rings of gold, and hast  put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side,  and two rings on its second side; 
02O 025:013 and thou hast made staves of shittim wood, and hast  overlaid them [with] gold, 
02O 025:014 and hast brought the staves into the rings on the sides of  the ark, to bear the ark by them, 
02O 025:015 in the rings of the ark are the staves, they are not  turned aside from it; 
02O 025:016 and thou hast put unto the ark the testimony which I give  unto thee. 
02O 025:017 `And thou hast made a mercy-seat of pure gold, two cubits  and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth; 
02O 025:018 and thou hast made two cherubs of gold, beaten work dost  thou make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; 
02O 025:019 and make thou one cherub at the end on this side, and one  cherub at the end on that; at the mercy-seat ye do make the  cherubs on its two ends. 
02O 025:020 `And the cherubs have been spreading out wings on high,  covering the mercy-seat over with their wings, and their faces  [are] one towards another -- towards the mercy-seat are the  faces of the cherubs. 
02O 025:021 `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark above, and  unto the ark thou dost put the testimony which I give unto  thee; 
02O 025:022 and I have met with thee there, and have spoken with thee  from off the mercy-seat (from between the two cherubs, which  [are] on the ark of the testimony) all that which I command  thee concerning the sons of Israel. 
02O 025:023 `And thou hast made a table of shittim wood, two cubits  its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its  height, 
02O 025:024 and hast overlaid it [with] pure gold, and hast made for  it a crown of gold round about, 
02O 025:025 and hast made for it a border of a handbreadth round  about, and hast made a crown of gold to its border round about. 
02O 025:026 `And thou hast made to it four rings of gold, and hast put  the rings on the four corners, which [are] to its four feet; 
02O 025:027 over-against the border are the rings for places for  staves to bear the table; 
02O 025:028 and thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast  overlaid them with gold, and the table hath been borne with  them; 
02O 025:029 and thou hast made its dishes, and its bowls, and its  covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; of pure gold  thou dost make them; 
02O 025:030 and thou hast put on the table bread of the presence  before Me continually. 
02O 025:031 `And thou hast made a candlestick of pure gold, of beaten  work is the candlestick made; its base, and its branch, its  calyxes, its knops, and its flowers are of the same; 
02O 025:032 and six branches are coming out of its sides, three  branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three  branches of the candlestick out of the second side; 
02O 025:033 three calyxes made like almonds in the one branch, a knop  and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one  branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches which are  coming out from the candlestick. 
02O 025:034 `And in the candlestick [are] four calyxes made like  almonds, its knops and its flowers; 
02O 025:035 and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop  under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches  of the same, [are] to the six branches which are coming out of  the candlestick; 
02O 025:036 their knops and their branches are of the same, all of it  one beaten work of pure gold; 
02O 025:037 and thou hast made its seven lamps, and [one] hath caused  its lights to go up, and it hath given light over-against its  front. 
02O 025:038 `And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold; 
02O 025:039 of a talent of pure gold he doth make it, with all these  vessels. 
02O 025:040 And see thou and do [them] by their pattern which thou art  shewn in the mount. 
02O 026:001 `And thou dost make the tabernacle: ten curtains of twined  linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet; [with] cherubs, work  of a designer, thou dost make them; 
02O 026:002 the length of the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the  cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit,  one measure [is] to all the curtains; 
02O 026:003 five of the curtains are joining one unto another, and five  curtains are joining one to another. 
02O 026:004 `And thou hast made loops of blue upon the edge of the one  curtain, at the end in the joining; and so thou makest in the  edge of the outermost curtain, in the joining of the second. 
02O 026:005 fifty loops thou dost make in the one curtain, and fifty  loops thou dost make in the edge of the curtain which [is] in  the joining of the second, causing the loops to take hold one  unto another; 
02O 026:006 and thou hast made fifty hooks of gold, and hast joined the  curtains one to another by the hooks, and the tabernacle hath  been one. 
02O 026:007 `And thou hast made curtains of goats' [hair], for a tent  over the tabernacle; thou dost make eleven curtains: 
02O 026:008 the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and  the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure  [is] to the eleven curtains; 
02O 026:009 and thou hast joined the five curtains apart, and the six  curtains apart, and hast doubled the six curtains over-against  the front of the tent. 
02O 026:010 `And thou hast made fifty loops on the edge of the one  curtain, the outermost in the joining, and fifty loops on the  edge of the curtain which is joining the second; 
02O 026:011 and thou hast made fifty hooks of brass, and hast brought  in the hooks into the loops, and hast joined the tent, and it  hath been one. 
02O 026:012 `And the superfluity in the curtains of the tent -- the  half of the curtain which is superfluous -- hath spread over  the hinder part of the tabernacle; 
02O 026:013 and the cubit on this side, and the cubit on that, in the  superfluity in the length of the curtains of the tent, is  spread out over the sides of the tabernacle, on this and on  that, to cover it; 
02O 026:014 and thou hast made a covering for the tent, of rams' skins  made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above. 
02O 026:015 `And thou hast made the boards for the tabernacle, of  shittim wood, standing up; 
02O 026:016 ten cubits [is] the length of the board, and a cubit and a  half the breadth of the one board; 
02O 026:017 two handles [are] to the one board, joined one unto  another; so thou dost make for all the boards of the  tabernacle; 
02O 026:018 and thou hast made the boards of the tabernacle: twenty  boards for the south side southward; 
02O 026:019 and forty sockets of silver thou dost make under the  twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two  handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two  handles. 
02O 026:020 `And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north  side, [are] twenty boards, 
02O 026:021 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the  one board, and two sockets under another board. 
02O 026:022 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward, thou dost  make six boards. 
02O 026:023 And two boards thou dost make for the corners of the  tabernacle in the two sides. 
02O 026:024 And they are pairs beneath, and together they are pairs  above its head unto the one ring; so is it for them both, they  are for the two corners. 
02O 026:025 And they have been eight boards, and their sockets of  silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board,  and two sockets under another board. 
02O 026:026 `And thou hast made bars of shittim wood: five for the  boards of the one side of the tabernacle, 
02O 026:027 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the  tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the  tabernacle at the two sides, westward; 
02O 026:028 and one hath caused the middle bar in the midst of the  boards to reach from end unto end; 
02O 026:029 and the boards thou dost overlay [with] gold, and their  rings thou dost make of gold places for bars, and hast  overlaid their bars with gold; 
02O 026:030 and thou hast raised up the tabernacle according to its  fashion which thou hast been shewn in the mount. 
02O 026:031 `And thou hast made a vail of blue, and purple, and  scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; he maketh it  [with] cherubs; 
02O 026:032 and thou hast put it on four pillars of shittim wood,  overlaid [with] gold, their pegs [are] of gold, on four  sockets of silver. 
02O 026:033 `And thou hast put the vail under the hooks, and hast  brought in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony;  and the vail hath made a separation for you between the holy  and the holy of holies. 
02O 026:034 `And thou hast put the mercy-seat on the ark of the  testimony, in the holy of holies. 
02O 026:035 `And thou hast set the table at the outside of the vail,  and the candlestick over-against the table on the side of the  tabernacle southward, and the table thou dost put on the north  side. 
02O 026:036 `And thou hast made a covering for the opening of the  tent, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of  an embroiderer; 
02O 026:037 and thou hast made for the covering five pillars of  shittim [wood], and hast overlaid them [with] gold, their pegs  [are] of gold, and thou hast cast for them five sockets of  brass. 
02O 027:001 `And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits  the length, and five cubits the breadth -- the altar is square  -- and three cubits its height. 
02O 027:002 And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns  are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it [with] brass. 
02O 027:003 And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its  shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even  all its vessels thou dost make of brass. 
02O 027:004 `And thou hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and  hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four  extremities, 
02O 027:005 and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and  the net hath been unto the middle of the altar. 
02O 027:006 `And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim  wood, and hast overlaid them [with] brass. 
02O 027:007 And the staves have been brought into the rings, and the  staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it. 
02O 027:008 Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been  shewed thee in the mount, so do they make [it]. 
02O 027:009 `And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the  south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a  hundred by the cubit [is] the length for the one side, 
02O 027:010 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of  brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of  silver; 
02O 027:011 and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred  [cubits] in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty  sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their  fillets [are] of silver. 
02O 027:012 `And [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are]  hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets  ten. 
02O 027:013 And [for] the breadth of the court at the east side,  eastward, [are] fifty cubits. 
02O 027:014 And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their  pillars three, and their sockets three. 
02O 027:015 And at the second side [are] hangings fifteen [cubits],  their pillars three, and their sockets three. 
02O 027:016 `And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty  cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work  of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four. 
02O 027:017 All the pillars of the court round about [are] filleted  [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets  brass. 
02O 027:018 `The length of the court [is] a hundred by the cubit, and  the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of  twined linen, and their sockets [are] brass, 
02O 027:019 even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its  service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court,  [are] brass. 
02O 027:020 `And thou -- thou dost command the sons of Israel, and  they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to  cause the lamp to go up continually; 
02O 027:021 in the tent of meeting, at the outside of the vail, which  [is] over the testimony, doth Aaron -- his sons also --  arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah -- a  statute age-during to their generations, from the sons of  Israel. 
02O 028:001 `And thou, bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and  his sons with him, from the midst of the sons of Israel, for  his being priest to Me, [even] Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,  Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron; 
02O 028:002 and thou hast made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for  honour and for beauty; 
02O 028:003 and thou -- thou dost speak unto all the wise of heart,  whom I have filled [with] a spirit of wisdom, and they have  made the garments of Aaron to sanctify him for his being  priest to Me. 
02O 028:004 `And these [are] the garments which they make: a  breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an  embroidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; yea, they have made  holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for his  being priest to Me. 
02O 028:005 `And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and  the scarlet, and the linen, 
02O 028:006 and have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and  scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; 
02O 028:007 it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is  joined. 
02O 028:008 `And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on him, according  to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and  scarlet, and twined linen. 
02O 028:009 `And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened  on them the names of the sons of Israel; 
02O 028:010 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the  remaining six on the second stone, according to their births; 
02O 028:011 the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet,  thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of  Israel; turned round, embroidered [with] gold, thou dost make  them. 
02O 028:012 `And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the  ephod -- stones of memorial to the sons of Israel -- and Aaron  hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders,  for a memorial. 
02O 028:013 `And thou hast made embroidered things of gold, 
02O 028:014 and two chains of pure gold, wreathed work thou dost make  them, work of thick bands, and thou hast put the thick chains  on the embroidered things. 
02O 028:015 `And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a  designer; according to the work of the ephod thou dost make it;  of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen thou  dost make it; 
02O 028:016 it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its  breadth. 
02O 028:017 `And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of  stone; a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle [is] the first  row; 
02O 028:018 and the second row [is] emerald, sapphire, and diamond; 
02O 028:019 and the third row [is] opal, agate, and amethyst; 
02O 028:020 and the fourth row [is] beryl, and onyx, and jasper;  embroidered with gold are they in their settings, 
02O 028:021 and the stones are according to the names of the sons of  Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet,  each by his name are they for the twelve tribes. 
02O 028:022 `And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains,  work of thick bands, of pure gold; 
02O 028:023 and thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold,  and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate; 
02O 028:024 and thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two  rings at the ends of the breastplate; 
02O 028:025 and the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on  the two embroidered things, and thou hast put [them] on the  shoulders of the ephod over-against its face. 
02O 028:026 `And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them  on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is]  over-against the ephod within; 
02O 028:027 and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on  the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its  front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the  ephod, 
02O 028:028 and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings  of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of  the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod. 
02O 028:029 `And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in  the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto  the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually. 
02O 028:030 `And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the  Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of  Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the  judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah  continually. 
02O 028:031 `And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely  of blue, 
02O 028:032 and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a  border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the  opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent. 
02O 028:033 `And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and  purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold  in their midst round about; 
02O 028:034 a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a  pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe round about. 
02O 028:035 `And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound  hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before  Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die. 
02O 028:036 `And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened  on it -- openings of a signet -- `Holy to Jehovah;' 
02O 028:037 and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on  the mitre -- over-against the front of the mitre it is; 
02O 028:038 and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath  borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel  do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his  forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before  Jehovah. 
02O 028:039 `And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast  made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make -- work of  an embroiderer. 
02O 028:040 `And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou  hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for  them, for honour and for beauty; 
02O 028:041 and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his  sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated  their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been  priests to Me. 
02O 028:042 `And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked  flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs; 
02O 028:043 and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their  going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh  unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not  bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him,  and to his seed after him. 
02O 029:001 `And this [is] the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow  them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the  herd, and two rams, perfect ones, 
02O 029:002 and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with  oil, of fine wheaten flour thou dost make them, 
02O 029:003 and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them  near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams. 
02O 029:004 `And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the  opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with  water; 
02O 029:005 and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron  with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod,  and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of  the ephod, 
02O 029:006 and hast set the mitre on his head, and hast put the holy  crown on the mitre, 
02O 029:007 and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured [it] on  his head, and hast anointed him. 
02O 029:008 `And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them  [with] coats, 
02O 029:009 and hast girded them [with] a girdle (Aaron and his sons),  and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been  theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the  hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons, 
02O 029:010 and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of  meeting, and Aaron hath laid -- his sons also -- their hands  on the head of the bullock. 
02O 029:011 `And thou hast slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah, at  the opening of the tent of meeting, 
02O 029:012 and hast taken of the blood of the bullock, and hast put  [it] on the horns of the altar with thy finger, and all the  blood thou dost pour out at the foundation of the altar; 
02O 029:013 and thou hast taken all the fat which is covering the  inwards, and the redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys,  and the fat which [is] on them, and hast made perfume on the  altar; 
02O 029:014 and the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung,  thou dost burn with fire at the outside of the camp; it [is] a  sin-offering. 
02O 029:015 `And the one ram thou dost take, and Aaron and his sons  have laid their hands on the head of the ram, 
02O 029:016 and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken its  blood, and hast sprinkled [it] on the altar round about, 
02O 029:017 and the ram thou dost cut into its pieces, and hast washed  its inwards, and its legs, and hast put [them] on its pieces,  and on its head; 
02O 029:018 and thou hast made perfume with the whole ram on the  altar. It [is] a burnt-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance;  a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah. 
02O 029:019 `And thou hast taken the second ram, and Aaron hath laid  -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the ram, 
02O 029:020 and thou hast slaughtered the ram, and hast taken of its  blood, and hast put 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  hast sprinkled the blood on the altar round about; 
02O 029:021 and thou hast taken of the blood which [is] on the altar,  and of the anointing oil, and hast sprinkled on Aaron, and on  his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons  with him, and he hath been hallowed, he, and his garments, and  his sons, and the garments of his sons with him. 
02O 029:022 `And thou hast taken from the ram the fat, and the fat  tail, and the fat which is covering the inwards, and the  redundance on the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat which  [is] on them, and the right leg, for it [is] a ram of  consecration, 
02O 029:023 and one round cake of bread, and one cake of oiled bread,  and one thin cake out of the basket of the unleavened things  which [is] before Jehovah. 
02O 029:024 `And thou hast set the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on  the hands of his sons, and hast waved them -- a wave-offering  before Jehovah; 
02O 029:025 and thou hast taken them out of their hand, and hast made  perfume on the altar beside the burnt-offering, for sweet  fragrance before Jehovah; a fire-offering it [is] to Jehovah. 
02O 029:026 `And thou hast taken the breast from the ram of the  consecration which [is] for Aaron, and hast waved it -- a  wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath become thy portion; 
02O 029:027 and thou hast sanctified the breast of the wave-offering,  and the leg of the heave-offering, which hath been waved, and  which hath been lifted up from the ram of the consecration, of  that which [is] for Aaron, and of that which [is] for his sons; 
02O 029:028 and it hath been for Aaron and for his sons, by a statute  age-during from the sons of Israel, for it [is] a  heave-offering; and it is a heave offering from the sons of  Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace-offerings -- their  heave-offering to Jehovah. 
02O 029:029 `And the holy garments which are Aaron's, are for his sons  after him, to be anointed in them, and to consecrate in them  their hand; 
02O 029:030 seven days doth the priest in his stead (of his sons) put  them on, when he goeth in unto the tent of meeting, to minister  in the sanctuary. 
02O 029:031 `And the ram of the consecration thou dost take, and hast  boiled its flesh in the holy place; 
02O 029:032 and Aaron hath eaten -- his sons also -- the flesh of the  ram, and the bread which [is] in the basket, at the opening of  the tent of meeting; 
02O 029:033 and they have eaten those things by which there is  atonement to consecrate their hand, to sanctify them; and a  stranger doth not eat -- for they [are] holy; 
02O 029:034 and if there be left of the flesh of the consecration or  of the bread till the morning, then thou hast burned that  which is left with fire; it is not eaten, for it [is] holy. 
02O 029:035 `And thou hast done thus to Aaron and to his sons,  according to all that I have commanded thee; seven days thou  dost consecrate their hand; 
02O 029:036 and a bullock, a sin-offering, thou dost prepare daily for  the atonements, and thou hast atoned for the altar, in thy  making atonement on it, and hast anointed it to sanctify it; 
02O 029:037 seven days thou dost make atonement for the altar, and  hast sanctified it, and the altar hath been most holy; all that  is coming against the altar is holy. 
02O 029:038 `And this [is] that which thou dost prepare on the altar;  two lambs, sons of a year, daily continually; 
02O 029:039 the one lamb thou dost prepare in the morning, and the  second lamb thou dost prepare between the evenings; 
02O 029:040 and a tenth [deal] of fine flour, mixed with beaten oil, a  fourth part of a hin, and a libation, a fourth part of a hin,  of wine, [is] for the one lamb. 
02O 029:041 `And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the  evenings; according to the present of the morning, and  according to its libation, thou dost prepare for it, for sweet  fragrance, a fire-offering, to Jehovah: -- 
02O 029:042 a continual burnt-offering for your generations, at the  opening of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah, whither I am  met with you, to speak unto thee there, 
02O 029:043 and I have met there with the sons of Israel, and it hath  been sanctified by My honour. 
02O 029:044 `And I have sanctified the tent of meeting, and the altar,  and Aaron and his sons I sanctify for being priests to Me, 
02O 029:045 and I have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel,  and have become their God, 
02O 029:046 and they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, who  hath brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I may  tabernacle in their midst; I [am] Jehovah their God. 
02O 030:001 `And thou hast made an altar [for] making perfume; [of]  shittim wood thou dost make it; 
02O 030:002 a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth, (it is  square), and two cubits its height; its horns [are] of the  same. 
02O 030:003 `And thou hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its  sides round about, and its horns; and thou hast made to it a  crown of gold round about; 
02O 030:004 and two rings of gold thou dost make to it under its crown;  on its two ribs thou dost make [them], on its two sides, and  they have become places for staves, to bear it with them. 
02O 030:005 `And thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast  overlaid them with gold; 
02O 030:006 and thou hast put it before the vail, which [is] by the ark  of the testimony, before the mercy-seat which [is] over the  testimony, whither I am met with thee. 
02O 030:007 `And Aaron hath made perfume on it, perfume of spices,  morning by morning; in his making the lamps right he doth  perfume it, 
02O 030:008 and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the  evenings, he doth perfume it; a continual perfume before  Jehovah to your generations. 
02O 030:009 `Ye do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and  burnt-offering, and present, and libation ye do not pour out on  it; 
02O 030:010 and Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a  year, by the blood of the sin-offering of atonements; once in  a year doth he make atonement for it, to your generations; it  [is] most holy to Jehovah.' 
02O 030:011 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 030:012 `When thou takest up the sum of the sons of Israel for  their numbers, then they have given each an atonement [for] his  soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague  among them in their being numbered. 
02O 030:013 `This they do give, every one passing over unto those  numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the  shekel [is] twenty gerahs); half a shekel [is] the  heave-offering to Jehovah; 
02O 030:014 every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of  twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of  Jehovah; 
02O 030:015 the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish  from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to  make atonement for your souls. 
02O 030:016 `And thou hast taken the atonement-money from the sons of  Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of  meeting; and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial  before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.' 
02O 030:017 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 030:018 `And thou hast made a laver of brass (and its base of  brass), for washing; and thou hast put it between the tent of  meeting and the altar, and hast put water there; 
02O 030:019 and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and  their feet, 
02O 030:020 in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash  [with] water, and die not; or in their drawing nigh unto the  altar to minister, to perfume a fire-offering to Jehovah, 
02O 030:021 then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they  die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, to him  and to his seed to their generations.' 
02O 030:022 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 030:023 `And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey  five hundred [shekels]; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that,  two hundred and fifty; and spice-cane two hundred and fifty; 
02O 030:024 and cassia five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary,  and olive oil a hin; 
02O 030:025 and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound  mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil. 
02O 030:026 `And thou hast anointed with it the tent of meeting, and  the ark of the testimony, 
02O 030:027 and the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and  its vessels, and the altar of perfume, 
02O 030:028 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and  the laver and its base; 
02O 030:029 and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most  holy; all that is coming against them is holy; 
02O 030:030 and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast  sanctified them for being priests to Me. 
02O 030:031 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, A  holy anointing oil is this to Me, to your generations; 
02O 030:032 on flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper  proportion ye make none like it; it [is] holy; it is holy to  you; 
02O 030:033 a man who compoundeth [any] like it, or who putteth of it  on a stranger -- hath even been cut off from his people.' 
02O 030:034 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take to thee spices,  stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense;  they are part for part; 
02O 030:035 and thou hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a  compounder, salted, pure, holy; 
02O 030:036 and thou hast beaten [some] of it small, and hast put of  it before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, whither I am  met with thee; most holy it is to you. 
02O 030:037 `As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper  proportion ye do not make to yourselves, holy it is to thee to  Jehovah; 
02O 030:038 a man who maketh [any] like it -- to be refreshed by it --  hath even been cut off from his people.' 
02O 031:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 031:002 `See, I have called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of  Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 
02O 031:003 and I fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in  understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, 
02O 031:004 to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in  brass, 
02O 031:005 and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of  wood to work in all work. 
02O 031:006 `And I, lo, I have given with him Aholiab, son of  Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every  wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all  that which I have commanded thee. 
02O 031:007 `The tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the  mercy-seat which [is] on it, and all the vessels of the tent, 
02O 031:008 and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick  and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume, 
02O 031:009 and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels,  and the laver and its base, 
02O 031:010 and the coloured garments, and the holy garments for Aaron  the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests  in; 
02O 031:011 and the anointing oil, and the perfume of the spices for  the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee --  they do.' 
02O 031:012 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
02O 031:013 `And thou, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only, My  sabbaths ye do keep, for it [is] a sign between Me and you, to  your generations, to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying you; 
02O 031:014 and ye have kept the sabbath, for it [is] holy to you, he  who is polluting it is certainly put to death -- for any who  doeth work in it -- that person hath even been cut off from  the midst of his people. 
02O 031:015 `Six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a  sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the  sabbath-day is certainly put to death, 
02O 031:016 and the sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep  the sabbath to their generations [is] a covenant age-during, 
02O 031:017 between Me and the sons of Israel it [is] a sign -- to the  age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and  in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.' 
02O 031:018 And He giveth unto Moses, when He finisheth speaking with  him in mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of  stone, written by the finger of God. 
02O 032:001 And the people see that Moses is delaying to come down from  the mount, and the people assemble against Aaron, and say unto  him, `Rise, make for us gods who go before us, for this Moses  -- the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt -- we  have not known what hath happened to him.' 
02O 032:002 And Aaron saith unto them, `Break off the rings of gold  which [are] in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your  daughters, and bring in unto me;' 
02O 032:003 and all the people themselves break off the rings of gold  which [are] in their ears, and bring in unto Aaron, 
02O 032:004 and he receiveth from their hand, and doth fashion it with  a graving tool, and doth make it a molten calf, and they say,  `These thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land  of Egypt.' 
02O 032:005 And Aaron seeth, and buildeth an altar before it, and Aaron  calleth, and saith, `A festival to Jehovah -- to-morrow;' 
02O 032:006 and they rise early on the morrow, and cause  burnt-offerings to ascend, and bring nigh peace-offerings; and  the people sit down to eat and to drink, and rise up to play. 
02O 032:007 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go, descend, for thy people  whom thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt hath done  corruptly, 
02O 032:008 they have turned aside hastily from the way that I have  commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf,  and bow themselves to it, and sacrifice to it, and say, These  thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of  Egypt.' 
02O 032:009 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `I have seen this people, and  lo, it [is] a stiff-necked people; 
02O 032:010 and now, let Me alone, and My anger doth burn against  them, and I consume them, and I make thee become a great  nation.' 
02O 032:011 And Moses appeaseth the face of Jehovah his God, and  saith, `Why, O Jehovah, doth Thine anger burn against Thy  people, whom Thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt  with great power and with a strong hand? 
02O 032:012 why do the Egyptians speak, saying, For evil He brought  them out to slay them among mountains, and to consume them from  off the face of the ground? turn back from the heat of Thine  anger, and repent of the evil against Thy people. 
02O 032:013 `Be mindful of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, Thy  servants, to whom Thou hast sworn by Thyself, and unto whom  Thou speakest: I multiply your seed as stars of the heavens,  and all this land, as I have said, I give to your seed, and  they have inherited to the age;' 
02O 032:014 and Jehovah repenteth of the evil which He hath spoken of  doing to His people. 
02O 032:015 And Moses turneth, and goeth down from the mount, and the  two tables of the testimony [are] in his hand, tables written  on both their sides, on this and on that [are] they written; 
02O 032:016 and the tables are the work of God, and the writing is the  writing of God, graven on the tables. 
02O 032:017 And Joshua heareth the voice of the people in their  shouting, and saith unto Moses, `A noise of battle in the  camp!' 
02O 032:018 and he saith, `It is not the voice of the crying of might,  nor is it the voice of the crying of weakness -- a voice of  singing I am hearing.' 
02O 032:019 And it cometh to pass, when he hath drawn near unto the  camp, that he seeth the calf, and the dancing, and the anger of  Moses burneth, and he casteth out of his hands the tables, and  breaketh them under the mount; 
02O 032:020 and he taketh the calf which they have made, and burneth  [it] with fire, and grindeth until [it is] small, and  scattereth on the face of the waters, and causeth the sons of  Israel to drink. 
02O 032:021 And Moses saith unto Aaron, `What hath this people done to  thee, that thou hast brought in upon it a great sin?' 
02O 032:022 and Aaron saith, `Let not the anger of my lord burn; thou  -- thou hast known the people that it [is] in evil; 
02O 032:023 and they say to me, Make for us gods, who go before us,  for this Moses -- the man who brought us up out of the land of  Egypt -- we have not known what hath happened to him; 
02O 032:024 and I say to them, Whoso hath gold, let them break [it]  off, and they give to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this  calf cometh out.' 
02O 032:025 And Moses seeth the people that it [is] unbridled, for  Aaron hath made it unbridled for contempt among its  withstanders, 
02O 032:026 and Moses standeth in the gate of the camp, and saith,  `Who [is] for Jehovah? -- unto me!' and all the sons of Levi  are gathered unto him; 
02O 032:027 and he saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel,  Put each his sword by his thigh, pass over and turn back from  gate to gate through the camp, and slay each his brother, and  each his friend, and each his relation.' 
02O 032:028 And the sons of Levi do according to the word of Moses,  and there fall of the people on that day about three thousand  men, 
02O 032:029 and Moses saith, `Consecrate your hand to-day to Jehovah,  for a man [is] against his son, and against his brother, so as  to bring on you to-day a blessing.' 
02O 032:030 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Moses saith  unto the people, `Ye -- ye have sinned a great sin, and now I  go up unto Jehovah, if so be I atone for your sin.' 
02O 032:031 And Moses turneth back unto Jehovah, and saith, `Oh this  people hath sinned a great sin, that they make to themselves a  god of gold; 
02O 032:032 and now, if Thou takest away their sin -- and if not --  blot me, I pray thee, out of Thy book which Thou hast written.' 
02O 032:033 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Whoso hath sinned against  Me -- I blot him out of My book; 
02O 032:034 and now, go, lead the people whithersoever I have spoken  to thee of; lo, My messenger goeth before thee, and in the day  of my charging -- then I have charged upon them their sin.' 
02O 032:035 And Jehovah plagueth the people, because they made the  calf which Aaron made. 
02O 033:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, `Go, ascend from this  [place], thou and the people, whom thou hast brought up out of  the land of Egypt, unto the land which I have sworn to  Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy seed I give  it,' 
02O 033:002 (and I have sent before thee a messenger, and have cast out  the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite,  the Hivite, and the Jebusite,) 
02O 033:003 unto a land flowing with milk and honey, for I do not go up  in thy midst, for thou [art] a stiff-necked people -- lest I  consume thee in the way.' 
02O 033:004 And the people hear this sad thing, and mourn; and none put  his ornaments on him. 
02O 033:005 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Say unto the sons of Israel,  Ye [are] a stiff-necked people; one moment -- I come up into  thy midst, and have consumed thee; and now, put down thine  ornaments from off thee, and I know what I do to thee;' 
02O 033:006 and the sons of Israel take off their ornaments at mount  Horeb. 
02O 033:007 And Moses taketh the tent, and hath stretched it out at the  outside of the camp, afar off from the camp, and hath called  it, `Tent of Meeting;' and it hath come to pass, every one  seeking Jehovah goeth out unto the tent of meeting, which [is]  at the outside of the camp. 
02O 033:008 And it hath come to pass, at the going out of Moses unto  the tent, all the people rise, and have stood, each at the  opening of his tent, and have looked expectingly after Moses,  until his going into the tent. 
02O 033:009 And it hath come to pass, at the going in of Moses to the  tent, the pillar of the cloud cometh down, and hath stood at  the opening of the tent, and He hath spoken with Moses; 
02O 033:010 and all the people have seen the pillar of the cloud  standing at the opening of the tent, and all the people have  risen and bowed themselves, each at the opening of his tent. 
02O 033:011 And Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses face unto face, as a  man speaketh unto his friend; and he hath turned back unto the  camp, and his minister Joshua, son of Nun, a youth, departeth  not out of the tent. 
02O 033:012 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `See, Thou art saying unto  me, Bring up this people, and Thou hast not caused me to know  whom Thou dost send with me; and Thou hast said, I have known  thee by name, and also thou hast found grace in Mine eyes. 
02O 033:013 `And now, if, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine  eyes, cause me to know, I pray Thee, Thy way, and I know Thee,  so that I find grace in Thine eyes, and consider that this  nation [is] Thy people;' 
02O 033:014 and He saith, `My presence doth go, and I have given rest  to thee.' 
02O 033:015 And he saith unto Him, `If Thy presence is not going --  take us not up from this [place]; 
02O 033:016 and in what is it known now, that I have found grace in  Thine eyes -- I and Thy people -- is it not in Thy going with  us? and we have been distinguished -- I and Thy people -- from  all the people who [are] on the face of the ground.' 
02O 033:017 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Even this thing which thou  hast spoken I do; for thou hast found grace in Mine eyes, and I  know thee by name.' 
02O 033:018 And he saith, `Shew me, I pray Thee, Thine honour;' 
02O 033:019 and He saith, `I cause all My goodness to pass before thy  face, and have called concerning the Name of Jehovah before  thee, and favoured him whom I favour, and loved him whom I  love.' 
02O 033:020 He saith also, `Thou art unable to see My face, for man  doth not see Me, and live;' 
02O 033:021 Jehovah also saith, `Lo, a place [is] by Me, and thou hast  stood on the rock, 
02O 033:022 and it hath come to pass, in the passing by of Mine  honour, that I have set thee in a cleft of the rock, and spread  out My hands over thee, until My passing by, 
02O 033:023 and I have turned aside My hands, and thou hast seen My  back parts, and My face is not seen.' 
02O 034:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Hew for thyself two tables  of stone like the first, and I have written on the tables the  words which were on the first tables which thou hast broken; 
02O 034:002 and be prepared at morning, and thou hast come up in the  morning unto mount Sinai, and hast stood before Me there, on  the top of the mount, 
02O 034:003 and no man cometh up with thee, and also no man is seen in  all the mount, also the flock and the herd do not feed  over-against that mount.' 
02O 034:004 And he heweth two tables of stone like the first, and Moses  riseth early in the morning, and goeth up unto mount Sinai, as  Jehovah commanded him, and he taketh in his hand two tables of  stone. 
02O 034:005 And Jehovah cometh down in a cloud, and stationeth Himself  with him there, and calleth in the Name of Jehovah, 
02O 034:006 and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth:  `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger,  and abundant in kindness and truth, 
02O 034:007 keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and  transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging  iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on  a third [generation], and on a fourth.' 
02O 034:008 And Moses hasteth, and boweth to the earth, and doth  obeisance, 
02O 034:009 and saith, `If, I pray Thee, I have found grace in Thine  eyes, O my Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee, go in our midst (for  it [is] a stiff-necked people), and thou hast forgiven our  iniquity and our sin, and hast inherited us.' 
02O 034:010 And He saith, `Lo, I am making a covenant: before all thy  people I do wonders, which have not been done in all the earth,  or in any nation, and all the people in whose midst thou [art]  have seen the work of Jehovah, for it [is] fearful that which I  am doing with thee. 
02O 034:011 `Observe for thyself that which I am commanding thee  to-day: lo, I am casting out from before thee the Amorite, and  the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the  Hivite, and the Jebusite; 
02O 034:012 take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the  inhabitant of the land into which thou art going, lest it  become a snare in thy midst; 
02O 034:013 for their altars ye break down, and their standing pillars  ye shiver, and its shrines ye cut down; 
02O 034:014 for ye do not bow yourselves to another god -- for  Jehovah, whose name [is] Zealous, is a zealous God. 
02O 034:015 `Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitant of the  land, and they have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have  sacrificed to their gods, and [one] hath called to thee, and  thou hast eaten of his sacrifice, 
02O 034:016 and thou hast taken of their daughters to thy sons, and  their daughters have gone a-whoring after their gods, and have  caused thy sons to go a-whoring after their gods; 
02O 034:017 a molten god thou dost not make to thyself. 
02O 034:018 `The feast of unleavened things thou dost keep; seven days  thou dost eat unleavened things, as I have commanded thee, at  an appointed time, the month of Abib: for in the month of Abib  thou didst come out from Egypt. 
02O 034:019 `All opening a womb [are] Mine, and every firstling of thy  cattle born a male, ox or sheep; 
02O 034:020 and the firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb;  and if thou dost not ransom, then thou hast beheaded it; every  first-born of thy sons thou dost ransom, and they do not  appear before Me empty. 
02O 034:021 `Six days thou dost work, and on the seventh day thou dost  rest; in ploughing-time and in harvest thou dost rest. 
02O 034:022 `And a feast of weeks thou dost observe for thyself;  first-fruits of wheat-harvest; and the feast of in-gathering,  at the revolution of the year. 
02O 034:023 `Three times in a year do all thy males appear before the  Lord Jehovah, God of Israel; 
02O 034:024 for I dispossess nations from before thee, and have  enlarged thy border, and no man doth desire thy land in thy  going up to appear before Jehovah thy God three times in a  year. 
02O 034:025 `Thou dost not slaughter with a fermented thing the blood  of My sacrifice; and the sacrifice of the feast of the passover  doth not remain till morning: 
02O 034:026 the first of the first-fruits of the land thou dost bring  into the house of Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in  its mother's milk.' 
02O 034:027 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Write for thyself these  words, for, according to the tenor of these words I have made  with thee a covenant, and with Israel.' 
02O 034:028 And he is there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights;  bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk; and he  writeth on the tables the matters of the covenant -- the ten  matters. 
02O 034:029 And it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from  mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony [are] in the  hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses  hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His  speaking with him, 
02O 034:030 and Aaron seeth -- all the sons of Israel also -- Moses,  and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid  of coming nigh unto him. 
02O 034:031 And Moses calleth unto them, and Aaron and all the princes  in the company return unto him, and Moses speaketh unto them; 
02O 034:032 and afterwards have all the sons of Israel come nigh, and  he chargeth them with all that Jehovah hath spoken with him in  mount Sinai. 
02O 034:033 And Moses finisheth speaking with them, and putteth on his  face a vail; 
02O 034:034 and in the going in of Moses before Jehovah to speak with  Him, he turneth aside the vail until his coming out; and he  hath come out and hath spoken unto the sons of Israel that  which he is commanded; 
02O 034:035 and the sons of Israel have seen the face of Moses that  the skin of the face of Moses hath shone, and Moses hath put  back the vail on his face until his going in to speak with Him. 
02O 035:001 And Moses assembleth all the company of the sons of Israel,  and saith unto them, `These [are] the things which Jehovah hath  commanded -- to do them: 
02O 035:002 Six days is work done, and on the seventh day there is to  you a holy [day], a sabbath of rest to Jehovah; any who doeth  work in it is put to death; 
02O 035:003 ye do not burn a fire in any of your dwellings on the  sabbath-day.' 
02O 035:004 And Moses speaketh unto all the company of the sons of  Israel, saying, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath  commanded, saying, 
02O 035:005 Take ye from among you a heave-offering to Jehovah; every  one whose heart [is] willing doth bring it, -- the  heave-offering of Jehovah, -- gold, and silver, and brass, 
02O 035:006 and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats'  [hair], 
02O 035:007 and rams' skins made red, and badgers' skins, and shittim  wood, 
02O 035:008 and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil,  and for the spice perfume, 
02O 035:009 and shoham stones, and stones for settings, for an ephod,  and for a breastplate. 
02O 035:010 `And all the wise-hearted among you come in, and make all  that Jehovah hath commanded: 
02O 035:011 `The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its hooks,  and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets, 
02O 035:012 `The ark and its staves, the mercy-seat, and the vail of  the covering, 
02O 035:013 `The table and its staves, and all its vessels, and the  bread of the presence, 
02O 035:014 `And the candlestick for the light, and its vessels, and  its lamps, and the oil for the light, 
02O 035:015 `And the altar of perfume, and its staves, and the  anointing oil, and the spice perfume, and the covering of the  opening at the opening of the tabernacle, 
02O 035:016 `The altar of burnt-offering and the brazen grate which it  hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base, 
02O 035:017 `The hangings of the court, its pillars, and their  sockets, and the covering of the gate of the court, 
02O 035:018 `The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court,  and their cords, 
02O 035:019 `The coloured garments, to do service in the sanctuary,  the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his  sons to act as priest in.' 
02O 035:020 And all the company of the sons of Israel go out from the  presence of Moses, 
02O 035:021 and they come in -- every man whom his heart hath lifted  up, and every one whom his spirit hath made willing -- they  have brought in the heave-offering of Jehovah for the work of  the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy  garments. 
02O 035:022 And they come in -- the men with the women -- every  willing-hearted one -- they have brought in nose-ring, and  ear-ring, and seal-ring, and necklace, all golden goods, even  every one who hath waved a wave-offering of gold to Jehovah. 
02O 035:023 And every man with whom hath been found blue, and purple,  and scarlet, and linen, and goats' [hair], and rams' skins  made red, and badgers' skins, have brought [them] in; 
02O 035:024 every one lifting up a heave-offering of silver and brass  have brought in the heave-offering of Jehovah; and every one  with whom hath been found shittim wood for any work of the  service brought [it] in. 
02O 035:025 And every wise-hearted woman hath spun with her hands, and  they bring in yarn, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and  the linen; 
02O 035:026 and all the women whose heart hath lifted them up in  wisdom, have spun the goats' [hair]. 
02O 035:027 And the princes have brought in the shoham stones, and the  stones for settings, for the ephod, and for the breastplate, 
02O 035:028 and the spices, and the oil for the light, and for the  anointing oil, and for the spice perfume; 
02O 035:029 every man and woman (whom their heart hath made willing to  bring in for all the work which Jehovah commanded to be done by  the hand of Moses) [of] the sons of Israel brought in a  willing-offering to Jehovah. 
02O 035:030 And Moses saith unto the sons of Israel, `See, Jehovah  hath called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the  tribe of Judah, 
02O 035:031 and He doth fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom,  in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, 
02O 035:032 even to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and  in brass, 
02O 035:033 and in graving of stones for settings, and in graving of  wood to work in any work of design. 
02O 035:034 `And to direct He hath put in his heart, he and Aholiab,  son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; 
02O 035:035 He hath filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work,  of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in  purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who do any work,  and of designers of designs. 
02O 036:001 And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in  whom Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding to know to do  every work of the service of the sanctuary, have done  according to all that Jehovah commanded. 
02O 036:002 And Moses calleth unto Bezaleel, and unto Aholiab, and unto  every wise-hearted man in whose heart Jehovah hath given  wisdom, every one whom his heart lifted up, to come near unto  the work to do it. 
02O 036:003 And they take from before Moses all the heave-offering  which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the  service of the sanctuary to do it; and still they have brought  in unto him a willing-offering morning by morning. 
02O 036:004 And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the  sanctuary, come each from his work which they are doing, 
02O 036:005 and speak unto Moses, saying, `The people are multiplying  to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work  which Jehovah commanded to make.' 
02O 036:006 And Moses commandeth, and they cause a voice to pass over  through the camp, saying, `Let not man or woman make any more  work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary;' and the people  are restrained from bringing, 
02O 036:007 and the work hath been sufficient for them, for all the  work, to do it, and to leave. 
02O 036:008 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work  make the tabernacle; ten curtains of twined linen, and blue,  and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubs, work of a designer, he  hath made them. 
02O 036:009 The length of the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the  cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit;  one measure [is] to all the curtains.

02O 036:012 fifty loops he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty  loops hath he made in the end of the curtain which [is] in the  joining of the second; the loops are taking hold one on  another. 
02O 036:013 And he maketh fifty hooks of gold, and joineth the  curtains one unto another by the hooks, and the tabernacle is  one. 
02O 036:014 And he maketh curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over  the tabernacle; eleven curtains he hath made them;

02O 040:009 and hast taken the anointing oil, and anointed the  tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and hallowed it, and all  its vessels, and it hath been holy; 
02O 040:010 and thou hast anointed the altar of the burnt-offering,  and all its vessels, and sanctified the altar, and the altar  hath been most holy; 
02O 040:011 and thou hast anointed the laver and its base, and  sanctified it. 
02O 040:012 `And thou hast brought near Aaron and his sons unto the  opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with  water; 
02O 040:013 and thou hast clothed Aaron with the holy garments, and  anointed him, and sanctified him, and he hath acted as priest  to Me. 
02O 040:014 `And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them  with coats, 
02O 040:015 and anointed them as thou hast anointed their father, and  they have acted as priests to Me, and their anointing hath  been to be to them for a priesthood age-during, to their  generations.' 
02O 040:016 And Moses doth according to all that Jehovah hath  commanded him; so he hath done. 
02O 040:017 And it cometh to pass, in the first month, in the second  year, in the first of the month, the tabernacle hath been  raised up; 
02O 040:018 and Moses raiseth up the tabernacle, and setteth its  sockets, and placeth its boards, and placeth its bars, and  raiseth its pillars, 
02O 040:019 and spreadeth the tent over the tabernacle, and putteth  the covering of the tent upon it above, as Jehovah hath  commanded Moses. 
02O 040:020 And he taketh and putteth the testimony unto the ark, and  setteth the staves on the ark, and putteth the mercy-seat on  the ark above; 
02O 040:021 and bringeth in the ark unto the tabernacle, and placeth  the vail of the covering, and covereth over the ark of the  testimony, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
02O 040:022 And he putteth the table in the tent of meeting, on the  side of the tabernacle northward, at the outside of the vail, 
02O 040:023 and setteth in order upon it the arrangement of bread,  before Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
02O 040:024 And he putteth the candlestick in the tent of meeting,  over-against the table, on the side of the tabernacle  southward, 
02O 040:025 and causeth the lamps to go up before Jehovah, as Jehovah  hath commanded Moses. 
02O 040:026 And he setteth the golden altar in the tent of meeting,  before the vail, 
02O 040:027 and maketh perfume on it -- spice-perfume -- as Jehovah  hath commanded Moses. 
02O 040:028 And he setteth the covering of the opening to the  tabernacle, 
02O 040:029 and the altar of the burnt-offering he hath set at the  opening of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and causeth  the burnt-offering to go up upon it, and the present, as  Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
02O 040:030 And he putteth the laver between the tent of meeting and  the altar, and putteth water there for washing, 
02O 040:031 and Moses and Aaron and his sons have washed their hands  and their feet at the same; 
02O 040:032 in their going in unto the tent of meeting, and in their  drawing near unto the altar, they wash, as Jehovah hath  commanded Moses. 
02O 040:033 And he raiseth up the court round about the tabernacle,  and about the altar, and placeth the covering of the gate of  the court; and Moses completeth the work. 
02O 040:034 And the cloud covereth the tent of meeting, and the honour  of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle; 
02O 040:035 and Moses hath not been able to go in unto the tent of  meeting, for the cloud hath tabernacled on it, and the honour  of Jehovah hath filled the tabernacle. 
02O 040:036 And in the going up of the cloud from off the tabernacle  the sons of Israel journey in all their journeys; 
02O 040:037 and if the cloud go not up then they journey not, until  the day of its going up: 
02O 040:038 for the cloud of Jehovah [is] on the tabernacle by day,  and fire is in it by night, before the eyes of all the house of  Israel in all their journeys.  
03O 001:001 And Jehovah calleth unto Moses, and speaketh unto him out of  the tent of meeting, saying, 
03O 001:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, Any man of you when he doth bring near an offering to  Jehovah, out of the cattle -- out of the herd, or out of the  flock -- ye do bring near your offering. 
03O 001:003 `If his offering [is] a burnt-offering out of the herd -- a  male, a perfect one, he doth bring near, unto the opening of  the tent of meeting he doth bring it near, at his pleasure,  before Jehovah; 
03O 001:004 and he hath laid his hand on the head of the burnt-offering,  and it hath been accepted for him to make atonement for him; 
03O 001:005 and he hath slaughtered the son of the herd before Jehovah;  and sons of Aaron, the priests, have brought the blood near,  and sprinkled the blood on the altar round about, which [is] at  the opening of the tent of meeting. 
03O 001:006 `And he hath stripped the burnt-offering, and hath cut it  into its pieces; 
03O 001:007 and the sons of Aaron the priest have put fire on the altar,  and arranged wood on the fire; 
03O 001:008 and sons of Aaron, the priests, have arranged the pieces,  with the head and the fat, on the wood, which [is] on the fire,  which [is] on the altar; 
03O 001:009 and its inwards and its legs he doth wash with water; and  the priest hath made perfume with the whole on the altar, a  burnt-offering, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 
03O 001:010 `And if his offering [is] out of the flock -- out of the  sheep or out of the goats -- for a burnt-offering, a male, a  perfect one, he doth bring near, 
03O 001:011 and he hath slaughtered it by the side of the altar  northward, before Jehovah; and sons of Aaron, the priests, have  sprinkled its blood on the altar round about; 
03O 001:012 and he hath cut it into its pieces, and its head and its  fat, and the priest hath arranged them on the wood, which [is]  on the fire, which [is] on the altar; 
03O 001:013 and the inwards and the legs he doth wash with water, and  the priest hath brought the whole near, and hath made perfume  on the altar; it [is] a burnt-offering, a fire-offering of  sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 
03O 001:014 `And if his offering [is] a burnt-offering out of the fowl  to Jehovah, than he hath brought near his offering out of the  turtle-doves or out of the young pigeons, 
03O 001:015 and the priest hath brought it near unto the altar, and  hath wrung off its head, and hath made perfume on the altar,  and its blood hath been wrung out by the side of the altar; 
03O 001:016 and he hath turned aside its crop with its feathers, and  hath cast it near the altar, eastward, unto the place of ashes; 
03O 001:017 and he hath cleaved it with its wings (he doth not separate  [it]), and the priest hath made it a perfume on the altar, on  the wood, which [is] on the fire; it [is] a burnt-offering, a  fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 
03O 002:001 `And when a person bringeth near an offering, a present to  Jehovah, of flour is his offering, and he hath poured on it  oil, and hath put on it frankincense; 
03O 002:002 and he hath brought it in unto the sons of Aaron, the  priests, and he hath taken from thence the fulness of his hand  of its flour and of its oil, besides all its frankincense, and  the priest hath made perfume with its memorial on the altar, a  fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah; 
03O 002:003 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his  sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of Jehovah. 
03O 002:004 `And when thou bringest near an offering, a present baked in  an oven, [it is of] unleavened cakes of flour mixed with oil,  or thin unleavened cakes anointed with oil. 
03O 002:005 `And if thine offering [is] a present [made] on the girdel,  it is of flour, mixed with oil, unleavened; 
03O 002:006 divide thou it into parts, and thou hast poured on it oil;  it [is] a present. 
03O 002:007 `And if thine offering [is] a present [made] on the  frying-pan, of flour with oil it is made, 
03O 002:008 and thou hast brought in the present which is made of these  to Jehovah, and [one] hath brought it near unto the priest, and  he hath brought it nigh unto the altar, 
03O 002:009 and the priest hath lifted up from the present its memorial,  and hath made perfume on the altar, a fire-offering of sweet  fragrance to Jehovah; 
03O 002:010 and the remnant of the present [is] for Aaron and for his  sons, most holy, of the fire-offerings of Jehovah. 
03O 002:011 No present which ye bring near to Jehovah is made  fermented, for with any leaven or any honey ye perfume no  fire-offering to Jehovah. 
03O 002:012 `An offering of first-[fruits] -- ye bring them near to  Jehovah, but on the altar they go not up, for sweet fragrance. 
03O 002:013 And every offering -- thy present -- with salt thou dost  season, and thou dost not let the salt of the covenant of thy  God cease from thy present; with all thine offerings thou dost  bring near salt. 
03O 002:014 `And if thou bring near a present of first-ripe [fruits] to  Jehovah, -- of green ears, roasted with fire, beaten out [corn]  of a fruitful field thou dost bring near the present of thy  first-ripe [fruits], 
03O 002:015 and thou hast put on it oil, and laid on it frankincense,  it [is] a present; 
03O 002:016 and the priest hath made perfume with its memorial from its  beaten out [corn], and from its oil, besides all its  frankincense -- a fire-offering to Jehovah. 
03O 003:001 `And if his offering [is] a sacrifice of peace-offerings, if  out of the herd he is bringing near, whether male or female, a  perfect one he doth bring near before Jehovah, 
03O 003:002 and he hath laid his hand on the head of his offering, and  hath slaughtered it at the opening of the tent of meeting, and  sons of Aaron, the priests, have sprinkled the blood on the  altar round about. 
03O 003:003 `And he hath brought near from the sacrifice of the  peace-offerings a fire-offering to Jehovah, the fat which is  covering the inwards, and all the fat which [is] on the  inwards, 
03O 003:004 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which  [is] on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside  the kidneys he doth turn it aside), 
03O 003:005 and sons of Aaron have made it a perfume on the altar, on  the burnt-offering which [is] on the wood, which [is] on the  fire -- a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 
03O 003:006 `And if his offering [is] out of the flock for a sacrifice  of peace-offerings to Jehovah, male or female, a perfect one he  doth bring near; 
03O 003:007 if a sheep he is bringing near [for] his offering, then he  hath brought it near before Jehovah, 
03O 003:008 and hath laid his hand on the head of his offering, and hath  slaughtered it before the tent of meeting, and sons of Aaron  have sprinkled its blood on the altar round about. 
03O 003:009 `And he hath brought near from the sacrifice of the  peace-offerings a fire-offering to Jehovah, its fat, the whole  fat tail (over-against the bone he doth turn it aside), and the  fat which is covering the inwards, and all the fat which [is]  on the inwards, 
03O 003:010 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which  [is] on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver, (beside  the kidneys he doth turn it aside), 
03O 003:011 and the priest hath made it a perfume on the altar -- bread  of a fire-offering to Jehovah. 
03O 003:012 `And if his offering [is] a goat, then he hath brought it  near before Jehovah, 
03O 003:013 and hath laid his hand on its head, and hath slaughtered it  before the tent of meeting, and sons of Aaron have sprinkled  its blood on the altar round about; 
03O 003:014 and he hath brought near from it his offering, a  fire-offering to Jehovah, the fat which is covering the  inwards, and all the fat which [is] on the inwards,

03O 003:016 and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar --  bread of a fire-offering, for sweet fragrance; all the fat [is]  Jehovah's. 
03O 003:017 `A statute age-during to your generations in all your  dwellings: any fat or any blood ye do not eat.' 
03O 004:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 004:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, When a person doth  sin through ignorance against any of the commands of Jehovah  [regarding things] which are not to be done, and hath done  [something] against one of these -- 
03O 004:003 `If the priest who is anointed doth sin according to the  guilt of the people, then he hath brought near for his sin  which he hath sinned a bullock, a son of the herd, a perfect  one, to Jehovah, for a sin-offering, 
03O 004:004 and he hath brought in the bullock unto the opening of the  tent of meeting before Jehovah, and hath laid his hand on the  head of the bullock, and hath slaughtered the bullock before  Jehovah. 
03O 004:005 `And the priest who is anointed hath taken of the blood of  the bullock, and hath brought it in unto the tent of meeting, 
03O 004:006 and the priest hath dipped his finger in the blood, and  sprinkled of the blood seven times before Jehovah, at the front  of the vail of the sanctuary; 
03O 004:007 and the priest hath put of the blood on the horns of the  altar of spice-perfume before Jehovah, which [is] in the tent  of meeting, and all the blood of the bullock he doth pour out  at the foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering, which  [is] at the opening of the tent of meeting. 
03O 004:008 `And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he doth  lift up from it, the fat which is covering over the inwards,  and all the fat which [is] on the inwards,

03O 004:010 as it is lifted up from the ox of the sacrifice of the  peace-offerings; and the priest hath made them a perfume on the  altar of the burnt-offering. 
03O 004:011 `And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, besides  its head, and besides its legs, and its inwards, and its dung  -- 
03O 004:012 he hath even brought out the whole bullock unto the outside  of the camp, unto a clean place, unto the place of the pouring  out of the ashes, and he hath burnt it on the wood with fire;  beside the place of the pouring out of the ashes it is burnt. 
03O 004:013 `And if the whole company of Israel err ignorantly, and the  thing hath been hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they  have done [something against] one of all the commands of  Jehovah [concerning things] which are not to be done, and have  been guilty;

03O 004:024 and he hath laid his hand on the head of the goat, and hath  slaughtered it in the place where he doth slaughter the  burnt-offering before Jehovah; it [is] a sin-offering. 
03O 004:025 `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin-offering  with his finger, and hath put on the horns of the altar of the  burnt-offering, and its blood he doth pour out at the  foundation of the altar of the burnt-offering,

03O 005:012 and he hath brought it in unto the priest, and the priest  hath taken a handful from it -- the fulness of his hand -- its  memorial -- and hath made perfume on the altar, according to  the fire-offerings of Jehovah; it [is] a sin-offering. 
03O 005:013 `And the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin  which he hath sinned against one of these, and it hath been  forgiven him, and [the remnant] hath been to the priest, like  the present.' 
03O 005:014 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 005:015 `When a person committeth a trespass, and hath sinned  through ignorance against the holy things of Jehovah, then he  hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, a ram, a perfect  one, out of the flock, at thy valuation [in] silver -- shekels  by the shekel of the sanctuary -- for a guilt-offering. 
03O 005:016 `And that which he hath sinned against the holy thing he  repayeth, and its fifth is adding to it, and hath given it to  the priest, and the priest maketh atonement for him with the  ram of the guilt-offering, and it hath been forgiven him.

03O 005:018 `Then he hath brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the  flock, at thy valuation, for a guilt-offering, unto the priest;  and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his ignorance  in which he hath erred and he hath not known, and it hath been  forgiven him; 
03O 005:019 it [is] a guilt-offering; he hath been certainly guilty  before Jehovah.' 
03O 006:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 006:002 `When any person doth sin, and hath committed a trespass  against Jehovah, and hath lied to his fellow concerning a  deposit, or concerning fellowship, or concerning violent  robbery, or hath oppressed his fellow; 
03O 006:003 or hath found a lost thing, and hath lied concerning it, and  hath sworn to a falsehood, concerning one of all [these] which  man doth, sinning in them: 
03O 006:004 `Then it hath been, when he sinneth, and hath been guilty,  that he hath returned the plunder which he hath taken violently  away, or the thing which he hath got by oppression, or the  deposit which hath been deposited with him, or the lost thing  which he hath found; 
03O 006:005 or all that concerning which he sweareth falsely, he hath  even repaid it in its principal, and its fifth he is adding to  it; to him whose it [is] he giveth it in the day of his  guilt-offering. 
03O 006:006 `And his guilt-offering he bringeth in to Jehovah, a ram, a  perfect one, out of the flock, at thy estimation, for a  guilt-offering, unto the priest, 
03O 006:007 and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah,  and it hath been forgiven him, concerning one thing of all that  he doth, by being guilty therein.' 
03O 006:008 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 006:009 `Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This [is] a law of the  burnt-offering (it [is] the burnt-offering, because of the  burning on the altar all the night unto the morning, and the  fire of the altar is burning on it,)

03O 006:019 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 006:020 `This [is] an offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they  bring near to Jehovah in the day of his being anointed; a tenth  of the ephah of flour [for] a continual present, half of it in  the morning, and half of it in the evening;

03O 006:026 `The priest who is making atonement with it doth eat it, in  the holy place it is eaten, in the court of the tent of  meeting; 
03O 006:027 all that cometh against its flesh is holy, and when [any]  of its blood is sprinkled on the garment, that on which it is  sprinkled thou dost wash in the holy place; 
03O 006:028 and an earthen vessel in which it is boiled is broken, and  if in a brass vessel it is boiled, then it is scoured and  rinsed with water. 
03O 006:029 `Every male among the priests doth eat it -- it [is] most  holy; 
03O 006:030 and no sin-offering, [any] of whose blood is brought in  unto the tent of meeting to make atonement in the sanctuary is  eaten; with fire it is burnt. 
03O 007:001 `And this [is] a law of the guilt-offering: it [is] most  holy; 
03O 007:002 in the place where they slaughter the burnt-offering they do  slaughter the guilt-offering, and its blood [one] doth sprinkle  on the altar round about, 
03O 007:003 and all its fat he bringeth near out of it, the fat tail,  and the fat which is covering the inwards, 
03O 007:004 and the two kidneys, and the fat which [is] on them, which  [is] on the flanks, and the redundance above the liver (beside  the kidneys he doth turn it aside); 
03O 007:005 and the priest hath made them a perfume on the altar, a  fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a guilt-offering. 
03O 007:006 `Every male among the priests doth eat it; in the holy place  it is eaten -- it [is] most holy; 
03O 007:007 as [is] a sin-offering, so [is] a guilt-offering; one law  [is] for them; the priest who maketh atonement by it -- it is  his. 
03O 007:008 `And the priest who is bringing near any man's  burnt-offering, the skin of the burnt-offering which he hath  brought near, it is the priest's, his own; 
03O 007:009 and every present which is baked in an oven, and every one  done in a frying-pan, and on a girdel, [is] the priest's who is  bringing it near; it is his; 
03O 007:010 and every present, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the  sons of Aaron -- one as another. 
03O 007:011 `And this [is] a law of the sacrifice of the  peace-offerings which [one] bringeth near to Jehovah: 
03O 007:012 if for a thank-offering he bring it near, then he hath  brought near with the sacrifice of thank-offering unleavened  cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes anointed with  oil, and of fried flour cakes mixed with oil; 
03O 007:013 besides the cakes, fermented bread he doth bring near  [with] his offering, besides the sacrifice of thank-offering of  his peace-offerings; 
03O 007:014 and he hath brought near out of it one of the whole  offering -- a heave-offering to Jehovah; to the priest who is  sprinkling the blood of the peace-offerings -- it is his; 
03O 007:015 as to the flesh of the sacrifice of the thank-offering of  his peace-offerings, in the day of his offering it is eaten; he  doth not leave of it till morning. 
03O 007:016 `And if the sacrifice of his offering [is] a vow or  free-will offering, in the day of his bringing near his  sacrifice it is eaten; and on the morrow also the remnant of it  is eaten; 
03O 007:017 and the remnant of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third  day with fire is burnt; 
03O 007:018 and if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his  peace-offerings be really eaten on the third day, it is not  pleasing; for him who is bringing it near it is not reckoned;  it is an abominable thing, and the person who is eating of it  his iniquity doth bear. 
03O 007:019 `And the flesh which cometh against any unclean thing is  not eaten; with fire it is burnt; as to the flesh, every clean  one doth eat of the flesh; 
03O 007:020 and the person who eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of  the peace-offerings which [are] Jehovah's, and his uncleanness  upon him, even that person hath been cut off from his people. 
03O 007:021 `And when a person cometh against any thing unclean, of the  uncleanness of man, or of the uncleanness of beasts, or of any  unclean teeming creature, and hath eaten of the flesh of the  sacrifice of the peace-offerings which [are] Jehovah's, even  that person hath been cut off from his people.' 
03O 007:022 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 007:023 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Any fat of ox and  sheep and goat ye do not eat; 
03O 007:024 and the fat of a carcase, and the fat of a torn thing is  prepared for any work, but ye do certainly not eat it; 
03O 007:025 for whoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which [one]  bringeth near a fire-offering to Jehovah, even the person who  eateth hath been cut off from his people. 
03O 007:026 `And any blood ye do not eat in all your dwellings, of  fowl, or of beast; 
03O 007:027 any person who eateth any blood, even that person hath been  cut off from his people.' 
03O 007:028 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 007:029 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, He who is bringing  near the sacrifice of his peace-offerings to Jehovah doth bring  in his offering to Jehovah from the sacrifice of his  peace-offerings; 
03O 007:030 his own hands do bring in the fire-offerings of Jehovah,  the fat beside the breast, it he doth bring in with the breast,  to wave it -- a wave-offering before Jehovah. 
03O 007:031 `And the priest hath made perfume with the fat on the  altar, and the breast hath been Aaron's and his sons; 
03O 007:032 and the right leg ye do make a heave-offering to the priest  of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; 
03O 007:033 he of the sons of Aaron who is bringing near the blood of  the peace-offerings, and the fat, his is the right leg for a  portion. 
03O 007:034 `For the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the  heave-offering, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the  sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and I give them to Aaron  the priest, and to his sons, by a statute age-during, from the  sons of Israel.' 
03O 007:035 This [is] the anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his  sons out of the fire-offerings of Jehovah, in the day he hath  brought them near to act as priest to Jehovah, 
03O 007:036 which Jehovah hath commanded to give to them in the day of  His anointing them, from the sons of Israel -- a statute  age-during to their generations. 
03O 007:037 This [is] the law for burnt-offering, for present, and for  sin-offering, and for guilt-offering, and for consecrations,  and for a sacrifice of the peace-offerings, 
03O 007:038 which Jehovah hath commanded Moses in Mount Sinai, in the  day of his commanding the sons of Israel to bring near their  offerings to Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai. 
03O 008:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 008:002 `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 things, 
03O 008:003 and all the company assemble thou unto the opening of the  tent of meeting.' 
03O 008:004 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and the  company is assembled unto the opening of the tent of meeting, 
03O 008:005 and Moses saith unto the company, `This [is] the thing which  Jehovah hath commanded to do.' 
03O 008:006 And Moses bringeth near Aaron and his sons, and doth bathe  them with water, 
03O 008:007 and doth put on him the coat, and doth gird him with the  girdle, and doth clothe him with the upper robe, and doth put  on him the ephod, and doth gird him with the girdle of the  ephod, and doth bind [it] to him with it, 
03O 008:008 and doth put on him the breastplate, and doth put unto the  breastplate the Lights and the Perfections, 
03O 008:009 and doth put the mitre on his head, and doth put on the  mitre, over-against its front, the golden flower of the holy  crown, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
03O 008:010 And Moses taketh the anointing oil, and anointeth the  tabernacle, and all that [is] in it, and sanctifieth them; 
03O 008:011 and he sprinkleth of it on the altar seven times, and  anointeth the altar, and all its vessels, and the laver, and  its base, to sanctify them; 
03O 008:012 and he poureth of the anointing oil on the head of Aaron,  and anointeth him to sanctify him. 
03O 008:013 And Moses bringeth near the sons of Aaron, and doth clothe  them [with] coats, and girdeth them [with] girdles, and bindeth  for them turbans, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
03O 008:014 And he bringeth nigh the bullock of the sin-offering, and  Aaron layeth -- his sons also -- their hands on the head of the  bullock of the sin-offering, 
03O 008:015 and [one] slaughtereth, and Moses taketh the blood, and  putteth on the horns of the altar round about with his finger,  and cleanseth the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at  the foundation of the altar, and sanctifieth it, to make  atonement upon it. 
03O 008:016 And he taketh all the fat that [is] on the inwards, and the  redundance above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat,  and Moses maketh Perfume on the altar, 
03O 008:017 and the bullock, and its skin, and its flesh, and its  dung, he hath burnt with fire, at the outside of the camp, as  Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
03O 008:018 And he bringeth near the ram of the burnt-offering, and  Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the head of the ram, 
03O 008:019 and [one] slaughtereth, and Moses sprinkleth the blood on  the altar round about; 
03O 008:020 and the ram he hath cut into its pieces, and Moses maketh  perfume with the head, and the pieces, and the fat, 
03O 008:021 and the inwards and the legs he hath washed with water, and  Moses maketh perfume with the whole ram on the altar; it [is] a  burnt-offering, for sweet fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to  Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
03O 008:022 And he bringeth near the second ram, a ram of the  consecrations, and Aaron and his sons lay their hands on the  head of the ram, 
03O 008:023 and [one] slaughtereth, and Moses taketh of its blood, and  putteth on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the thumb  of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot; 
03O 008:024 and he bringeth near the sons of Aaron, and Moses putteth  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 sprinkleth the blood on the altar round about, 
03O 008:025 and taketh the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that  [is] on the inwards, and the redundance above the liver, and  the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right leg; 
03O 008:026 and out of the basket of unleavened things, which [is]  before Jehovah, he hath taken one unleavened cake, and one cake  of oiled bread, and one thin cake, and putteth [them] on the  fat, and on the right leg; 
03O 008:027 and putteth the whole on the hands of Aaron, and on the  hands of his sons, and waveth them -- a wave-offering before  Jehovah. 
03O 008:028 And Moses taketh them from off their hands, and maketh  perfume on the altar, on the burnt-offering, they [are]  consecrations for sweet fragrance; it [is] a fire-offering to  Jehovah; 
03O 008:029 and Moses taketh the breast, and waveth it -- a  wave-offering before Jehovah; of the ram of the consecrations  it hath been to Moses for a portion, as Jehovah hath commanded  Moses. 
03O 008:030 And Moses taketh of the anointing oil, and of the blood  which [is] on the altar, and sprinkleth on Aaron, on his  garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with  him, and he sanctifieth Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and  the garments of his sons with him. 
03O 008:031 And Moses saith unto Aaron, and unto his sons, `Boil ye the  flesh at the opening of the tent of meeting, and there ye do  eat it and the bread which [is] in the basket of the  consecrations, as I have commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons  do eat it. 
03O 008:032 `And the remnant of the flesh and of the bread with fire ye  burn; 
03O 008:033 and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye go not out  seven days, till the day of the fulness, the days of your  consecration -- for seven days he doth consecrate your hand; 
03O 008:034 as he hath done on this day, Jehovah hath commanded to do,  to make atonement for you; 
03O 008:035 and at the opening of the tent of meeting ye abide, by  day and by night seven days, and ye have kept the charge of  Jehovah, and die not, for so I have been commanded.' 
03O 008:036 And Aaron doth -- his sons also -- all the things which  Jehovah hath commanded by the hand of Moses. 
03O 009:001 And it cometh to pass on the eighth day, Moses hath called  for Aaron and for his sons, and for the elders of Israel, 
03O 009:002 and he saith unto Aaron, `Take to thyself a calf, a son of  the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering,  perfect ones, and bring near before Jehovah. 
03O 009:003 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, Take  ye a kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and a calf, and a  lamb, sons of a year, perfect ones, for a burnt-offering, 
03O 009:004 and a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, to sacrifice  before Jehovah, and a present mixed with oil; for to-day  Jehovah hath appeared unto you.' 
03O 009:005 And they take that which Moses hath commanded unto the front  of the tent of meeting, and all the company draw near and stand  before Jehovah; 
03O 009:006 and Moses saith, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath  commanded; do [it], and the honour of Jehovah doth appear unto  you.' 
03O 009:007 And Moses saith unto Aaron, `Draw near unto the altar, and  make thy sin-offering, and thy burnt-offering, and make  atonement for thyself, and for the people, and make the  offering of the people, and make atonement for them, as Jehovah  hath commanded.' 
03O 009:008 And Aaron draweth near unto the altar, and slaughtereth the  calf of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself; 
03O 009:009 and the sons of Aaron bring the blood near unto him, and he  dippeth his finger in the blood, and putteth [it] on the horns  of the altar, and the blood he hath poured out at the  foundation of the altar; 
03O 009:010 and the fat, and the kidneys, and the redundance of the  liver, of the sin-offering, he hath made a perfume on the  altar, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses; 
03O 009:011 and the flesh and the skin he hath burnt with fire, at the  outside of the camp. 
03O 009:012 And he slaughtereth the burnt-offering, and the sons of  Aaron have presented unto him the blood, and he sprinkleth it  on the altar round about; 
03O 009:013 and the burnt-offering they have presented unto him, by its  pieces, and the head, and he maketh perfume on the altar; 
03O 009:014 and he washeth the inwards and the legs, and maketh perfume  for the burnt-offering on the altar. 
03O 009:015 And he bringeth near the offering of the people, and taketh  the goat of the sin-offering which [is] for the people, and  slaughtered it, and maketh it a sin-offering, like the first; 
03O 009:016 and he bringeth near the burnt-offering, and maketh it,  according to the ordinance; 
03O 009:017 and he bringeth near the present, and filleth his palm with  it, and maketh perfume on the altar, apart from the  burnt-offering of the morning. 
03O 009:018 And he slaughtereth the bullock and the ram, a sacrifice of  the peace-offerings, which [are] for the people, and sons of  Aaron present the blood unto him (and he sprinkleth it on the  altar round about), 
03O 009:019 and the fat of the bullock, and of the ram, the fat tail,  and the covering [of the inwards], and the kidneys, and the  redundance above the liver, 
03O 009:020 and they set the fat on the breasts, and he maketh perfume  with the fat on the altar; 
03O 009:021 and the breasts, and the right leg hath Aaron waved -- a  wave-offering before Jehovah, as He hath commanded Moses. 
03O 009:022 And Aaron lifteth up his hand towards the people, and  blesseth them, and cometh down from making the sin-offering,  and the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings. 
03O 009:023 And Moses goeth in -- Aaron also -- unto the tent of  meeting, and they come out, and bless the people, and the  honour of Jehovah appeareth unto all the people; 
03O 009:024 and fire cometh out from before Jehovah, and consumeth on  the altar the burnt-offering, and the fat; and all the people  see, and cry aloud, and fall on their faces. 
03O 010:001 And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, take each his  censer, and put in them fire, and put on it perfume, and bring  near before Jehovah strange fire, which He hath not commanded  them; 
03O 010:002 and fire goeth out from before Jehovah, and consumeth them,  and they die before Jehovah. 
03O 010:003 And Moses saith unto Aaron, `It [is] that which Jehovah  hath spoken, saying, By those drawing near to Me I am  sanctified, and in the face of all the people I am honoured;'  and Aaron is silent. 
03O 010:004 And Moses calleth unto Mishael and unto Elzaphan, sons of  Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, and saith unto them, `Come near, bear  your brethren from the front of the sanctuary unto the outside  of the camp;' 
03O 010:005 and they come near, and bear them in their coats unto the  outside of the camp, as Moses hath spoken. 
03O 010:006 And Moses saith unto Aaron, and to Eleazar, and to Ithamar  his sons, `Your heads ye do not uncover, and your garments ye  do not rend, that ye die not, and on all the company He be  wroth; as to your brethren, the whole house of Israel, they  bewail the burning which Jehovah hath kindled; 
03O 010:007 and from the opening of the tent of meeting ye do not go  out, lest ye die, for the anointing oil of Jehovah [is] upon  you;' and they do according to the word of Moses. 
03O 010:008 And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron, saying, 
03O 010:009 `Wine and strong drink thou dost not drink, thou, and thy  sons with thee, in your going in unto the tent of meeting, and  ye die not -- a statute age-during to your generations; 
03O 010:010 so as to make a separation between the holy and the  common, and between the unclean and the pure; 
03O 010:011 and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes which  Jehovah hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.' 
03O 010:012 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar, and unto  Ithamar his sons, who are left, `Take ye the present that is  left from the fire-offerings of Jehovah, and eat it unleavened  near the altar, for it [is] most holy, 
03O 010:013 and ye have eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] thy  portion, and the portion of thy sons, from the fire-offerings  of Jehovah; for so I have been commanded. 
03O 010:014 `And the breast of the wave-offering, and the leg of the  heave-offering, ye do eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons,  and thy daughters with thee; for thy portion and the portion of  thy sons they have been given, out of the sacrifices of  peace-offerings of the sons of Israel; 
03O 010:015 the leg of the heave-offering, and breast of the  wave-offering, besides fire-offerings of the fat, they do bring  in to wave a wave-offering before Jehovah, and it hath been to  thee, and to thy sons with thee, by a statute age-during, as  Jehovah hath commanded.' 
03O 010:016 And the goat of the sin-offering hath Moses diligently  sought, and lo, it is burnt, and he is wroth against Eleazar,  and against Ithamar, sons of Aaron, who are left, saying, 
03O 010:017 `Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin-offering in the holy  place, for it [is] most holy -- and it He hath given to you to  take away the iniquity of the company, to make atonement for  them before Jehovah? 
03O 010:018 lo, its blood hath not been brought in unto the holy place  within; eating ye do eat it in the holy place, as I have  commanded.' 
03O 010:019 And Aaron speaketh unto Moses, `Lo, to-day they have  brought near their sin-offering and their burnt-offering before  Jehovah; and [things] like these meet me, yet I have eaten a  sin-offering to-day; is it good in the eyes of Jehovah?' 
03O 010:020 And Moses hearkeneth, and it is good in his eyes. 
03O 011:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying unto  them, 
03O 011:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, This [is] the beast  which ye do eat out of all the beasts which [are] on the earth: 
03O 011:003 any dividing a hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hoofs,  bringing up the cud, among the beasts, it ye do eat. 
03O 011:004 `Only, this ye do not eat -- of those bringing up the cud,  and of those dividing the hoof -- the camel, though it is  bringing up the cud, yet the hoof not dividing -- it [is]  unclean to you; 
03O 011:005 and the rabbit, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the  hoof it divideth not -- unclean it [is] to you; 
03O 011:006 and the hare, though it is bringing up the cud, yet the  hoof hath not divided -- unclean it [is] to you; 
03O 011:007 and the sow, though it is dividing the hoof, and cleaving  the cleft of the hoof, yet the cud it bringeth not up --  unclean it [is] to you. 
03O 011:008 `Of their flesh ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye  do not come -- unclean they [are] to you. 
03O 011:009 `This ye do eat of all which [are] in the waters; any one  that hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in  the brooks, them ye do eat; 
03O 011:010 and any one that hath not fins and scales in the seas, and  in the brooks, of any teeming creature of the waters, and of  any creature which liveth, which [is] in the waters -- an  abomination they [are] to you; 
03O 011:011 yea, an abomination they are to you; of their flesh ye do  not eat, and their carcase ye abominate. 
03O 011:012 `Any one that hath not fins and scales in the waters -- an  abomination it [is] to you. 
03O 011:013 `And these ye do abominate of the fowl; they are not  eaten, an abomination they [are]: the eagle, and the ossifrage,  and the ospray, 
03O 011:014 and the vulture, and the kite after its kind, 
03O 011:015 every raven after its kind, 
03O 011:016 and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the  hawk after its kind,

03O 011:018 and the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 
03O 011:019 and the stork, the heron after its kind, and the lapwing,  and the bat. 
03O 011:020 `Every teeming creature which is flying, which is going on  four -- an abomination it [is] to you. 
03O 011:021 `Only -- this ye do eat of any teeming thing which is  flying, which is going on four, which hath legs above its feet,  to move with them on the earth; 
03O 011:022 these of them ye do eat: the locust after its kind, and  the bald locust after its kind, and the beetle after its kind,  and the grasshopper after its kind; 
03O 011:023 and every teeming thing which is flying, which hath four  feet -- an abomination it [is] to you. 
03O 011:024 `And by these ye are made unclean, any one who is coming  against their carcase is unclean till the evening;

03O 011:036 `Only -- a fountain or pit, a collection of water, is  clean, but that which is coming against their carcase is  unclean; 
03O 011:037 and when [any] of their carcase falleth on any sown seed  which is sown -- it [is] clean; 
03O 011:038 and when water is put on the seed, and [any] of its  carcase hath fallen on it -- unclean it [is] to you. 
03O 011:039 `And when any of the beasts which are to you for food  dieth, he who is coming against its carcase is unclean till the  evening; 
03O 011:040 and he who is eating of its carcase doth wash his  garments, and hath been unclean till the evening; and he who is  lifting up its carcase doth wash his garments, and hath been  unclean till the evening. 
03O 011:041 `And every teeming thing which is teeming on the earth is  an abomination, it is not eaten; 
03O 011:042 any thing going on the belly, and any going on four, unto  every multiplier of feet, to every teeming thing which is  teeming on the earth -- ye do not eat them, for they [are] an  abomination; 
03O 011:043 ye do not make yourselves abominable with any teeming  thing which is teeming, nor do ye make yourselves unclean with  them, so that ye have been unclean thereby. 
03O 011:044 `For I [am] Jehovah your God, and ye have sanctified  yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] holy; and ye do  not defile your persons with any teeming thing which is  creeping on the earth; 
03O 011:045 for I [am] Jehovah who am bringing you up out of the land  of Egypt to become your God; and ye have been holy, for I [am]  holy. 
03O 011:046 `This [is] a law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of  every living creature which is moving in the waters, and of  every creature which is teeming on the earth, 
03O 011:047 to make separation between the unclean and the pure, and  between the beast that is eaten, and the beast that is not  eaten.' 
03O 012:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 012:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she  giveth seed, and hath born a male, then she hath been unclean  seven days, according to the days of separation for her  sickness she is unclean; 
03O 012:003 and in the eighth day is the flesh of his foreskin  circumcised; 
03O 012:004 and thirty and three days she doth abide in the blood of  her cleansing; against any holy thing she doth not come, and  unto the sanctuary she doth not go in, till the fulness of the  days of her cleansing. 
03O 012:005 `And if a female she bear, then she hath been unclean two  weeks, as in her separation; and sixty and six days she doth  abide for the blood of her cleansing. 
03O 012:006 `And in the fulness of the days of her cleansing for son or  for daughter she doth bring in a lamb, a son of a year, for a  burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a  sin-offering, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, unto the  priest; 
03O 012:007 and he hath brought it near before Jehovah, and hath made  atonement for her, and she hath been cleansed from the fountain  of her blood; this [is] the law of her who is bearing, in  regard to a male or to a female. 
03O 012:008 `And if her hand find not the sufficiency of a sheep, then  she hath taken two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, one for  a burnt-offering, and one for a sin-offering, and the priest  hath made atonement for her, and she hath been cleansed.' 
03O 013:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
03O 013:002 `When a man hath in the skin of his flesh a rising, or  scab, or bright spot, and it hath become in the skin of his  flesh a leprous plague, then he hath been brought in unto Aaron  the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests; 
03O 013:003 and the priest hath seen the plague in the skin of the  flesh, and the hair in the plague hath turned white, and the  appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh  -- it [is] a plague of leprosy, and the priest hath seen him,  and hath pronounced him unclean. 
03O 013:004 `And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh,  and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair  hath not turned white, then hath the priest shut up [him who  hath] the plague seven days. 
03O 013:005 `And the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, and lo,  the plague hath stood in his eyes, the plague hath not spread  in the skin, and the priest hath shut him up a second seven  days. 
03O 013:006 `And the priest hath seen him on the second seventh day,  and lo, the plague is become weak, and the plague hath not  spread in the skin -- and the priest hath pronounced him clean,  it [is] a scab, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been  clean. 
03O 013:007 `And if the scab spread greatly in the skin, after his  being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he hath been  seen a second time by the priest; 
03O 013:008 and the priest hath seen, and lo, the scab hath spread in  the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is]  leprosy. 
03O 013:009 `When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he hath been  brought in unto the priest, 
03O 013:010 and the priest hath seen, and lo, a white rising in the  skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a quickening of  raw flesh [is] in the rising, -- 
03O 013:011 an old leprosy it [is] in the skin of his flesh, and the  priest hath pronounced him unclean; he doth not shut him up,  for he [is] unclean. 
03O 013:012 `And if the leprosy break out greatly in the skin, and the  leprosy hath covered all the skin of [him who hath] the plague,  from his head even unto his feet, to all that appeareth to the  eyes of the priest, 
03O 013:013 then hath the priest seen, and lo, the leprosy hath  covered all his flesh, and he hath pronounced [him who hath]  the plague clean; it hath all turned white; he [is] clean. 
03O 013:014 `And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him he is  unclean; 
03O 013:015 and the priest hath seen the raw flesh, and hath  pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it [is]  leprosy. 
03O 013:016 Or when the raw flesh turneth back, and hath been turned  to white, then he hath come in unto the priest, 
03O 013:017 and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the plague hath been  turned to white, and the priest hath pronounced clean [him who  hath] the plague; he [is] clean. 
03O 013:018 `And when flesh hath in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it  hath been healed, 
03O 013:019 and there hath been in the place of the ulcer a white  rising, or a bright white spot, very red, then it hath been  seen by the priest, 
03O 013:020 and the priest hath seen, and lo, its appearance [is]  lower than the skin, and its hair hath turned white, and the  priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy  -- in an ulcer it hath broken out. 
03O 013:021 `And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair  in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and is become weak,  then hath the priest shut him up seven days; 
03O 013:022 and if it spread greatly in the skin, then hath the priest  pronounced him unclean, it [is] a plague; 
03O 013:023 and if in its place the bright spot stay -- it hath not  spread -- it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest  hath pronounced him clean. 
03O 013:024 `Or when flesh hath in its skin a fiery burning, and the  quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, hath been  very red or white, 
03O 013:025 and the priest hath seen it, and lo, the hair hath turned  white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than  the skin; leprosy it [is], in the burning it hath broken out,  and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of  leprosy. 
03O 013:026 `And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair  on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it  is become weak, then the priest hath shut him up seven days; 
03O 013:027 and the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, if it  spread greatly in the skin, then the priest hath pronounced him  unclean; a plague of leprosy it [is]. 
03O 013:028 `And if the bright spot stay in its place, it hath not  spread in the skin, and is become weak; a rising of the burning  it [is], and the priest hath pronounced him clean; for it [is]  inflammation of the burning. 
03O 013:029 `And when a man (or a woman) hath in him a plague in the  head or in the beard, 
03O 013:030 then hath the priest seen the plague, and lo, its  appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it a thin shining  hair, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a  scall -- it [is] a leprosy of the head or of the beard. 
03O 013:031 `And when the priest seeth the plague of the scall, and  lo, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no  black hair in it, then hath the priest shut up [him who hath]  the plague of the scall seven days. 
03O 013:032 `And the priest hath seen the plague on the seventh day,  and lo, the scall hath not spread, and a shining hair hath not  been in it, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than  the skin, 
03O 013:033 then he hath shaved himself, but the scall he doth not  shave; and the priest hath shut up [him who hath] the scall a  second seven days. 
03O 013:034 And the priest hath seen the scall on the seventh day, and  lo, the scall hath not spread in the skin, and its appearance  is not deeper than the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him  clean, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean. 
03O 013:035 `And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his  cleansing, 
03O 013:036 and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the scall hath  spread in the skin, the priest seeketh not for the shining  hair, he is unclean; 
03O 013:037 and if in his eyes the scall hath stayed, and black hair  hath sprung up in it, the scall hath been healed -- he [is]  clean -- and the priest hath pronounced him clean. 
03O 013:038 `And when a man or woman hath in the skin of their flesh  bright spots, white bright spots, 
03O 013:039 and the priest hath seen, and lo, in the skin of their  flesh white weak bright spots, it [is] a freckled spot broken  out in the skin; he [is] clean. 
03O 013:040 `And when a man's head [is] polished, he [is] bald, he  [is] clean; 
03O 013:041 and if from the corner of his face his head is polished,  he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean. 
03O 013:042 `And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the  bald forehead, a very red white plague, it [is] a leprosy  breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald  forehead; 
03O 013:043 and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the rising of the  very red white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the  bald forehead, [is] as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin  of the flesh, 
03O 013:044 he [is] a leprous man, he [is] unclean; the priest doth  pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head. 
03O 013:045 `As to the leper in whom [is] the plague, his garments are  rent, and his head is uncovered, and he covereth over the upper  lip, and `Unclean! unclean!' he calleth; 
03O 013:046 all the days that the plague [is] in him he is unclean; he  [is] unclean, alone he doth dwell, at the outside of the camp  [is] his dwelling. 
03O 013:047 `And when there is in any garment a plague of leprosy, --  in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen, 
03O 013:048 or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in  a skin, or in any work of skin, 
03O 013:049 and the plague hath been very green or very red in the  garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in  any vessel of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it hath  been shewn the priest. 
03O 013:050 `And the priest hath seen the plague, and hath shut up  [that which hath] the plague, seven days; 
03O 013:051 and he hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and the  plague hath spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the  woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work; the  plague [is] a fretting leprosy, it [is] unclean. 
03O 013:052 `And he hath burnt the garment, or the warp, or the woof,  in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague  is; for it [is] a fretting leprosy; with fire it is burnt. 
03O 013:053 `And if the priest see, and lo, the plague hath not spread  in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any  vessel of skin, 
03O 013:054 then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that  in which the plague [is], and he hath shut it up a second seven  days. 
03O 013:055 And the priest hath seen [that which hath] the plague  after it hath been washed, and lo, the plague hath not changed  its aspect, and the plague hath not spread, -- it [is] unclean;  with fire thou dost burn it; it [is] a fretting in its  back-part or in its front-part. 
03O 013:056 `And if the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague [is]  become weak after it hath been washed, then he hath rent it out  of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out  of the woof; 
03O 013:057 and if it still be seen in the garment, or in the warp, or  in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a fretting; with  fire thou dost burn it -- that in which the plague [is]. 
03O 013:058 `And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel  of skin which thou dost wash when the plague hath turned aside  from them, then it hath been washed a second time, and hath  been clean. 
03O 013:059 `This [is] the law of a plague of leprosy [in] a garment  of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any  vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it  unclean.' 
03O 014:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 014:002 `This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing,  that he hath been brought in unto the priest, 
03O 014:003 and the priest hath gone out unto the outside of the camp,  and the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague of leprosy hath  ceased from the leper, 
03O 014:004 and the priest hath commanded, and he hath taken for him  who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood,  and scarlet, and hyssop. 
03O 014:005 `And the priest hath commanded, and he hath slaughtered the  one bird upon an earthen vessel, over running water; 
03O 014:006 [as to] the living bird, he taketh it, and the cedar wood,  and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and hath dipped them and the  living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the  running water, 
03O 014:007 and he hath sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the  leprosy seven times, and hath pronounced him clean, and hath  sent out the living bird on the face of the field. 
03O 014:008 `And he who is to be cleansed hath washed his garments, and  hath shaved all his hair, and hath bathed with water, and hath  been clean, and afterwards he doth come in unto the camp, and  hath dwelt at the outside of his tent seven days. 
03O 014:009 `And it hath been, on the seventh day -- he shaveth all his  hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his  hair he doth shave, and he hath washed his garments, and hath  bathed his flesh with water, and hath been clean. 
03O 014:010 `And on the eighth day he taketh two lambs, perfect ones,  and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three  tenth deals of flour [for] a present, mixed with oil, and one  log of oil. 
03O 014:011 `And the priest who is cleansing hath caused the man who  is to be cleansed to stand with them before Jehovah, at the  opening of the tent of meeting, 
03O 014:012 and the priest hath taken the one he-lamb, and hath  brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and  hath waved them -- a wave offering before Jehovah. 
03O 014:013 `And he hath slaughtered the lamb in the place where he  slaughtereth the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the  holy place; for like the sin-offering the guilt-offering is to  the priest; it [is] most holy. 
03O 014:014 `And the priest hath taken of the blood of the  guilt-offering, and the priest hath put on the tip of the right  ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right  hand, and on the great toe of his right foot; 
03O 014:015 and the priest hath taken of the log of oil, and hath  poured on the left palm of the priest, 
03O 014:016 and the priest hath dipped his right finger in the oil  which [is] on his left palm, and hath sprinkled of the oil with  his finger seven times before Jehovah. 
03O 014:017 `And of the residue of the oil which [is] on his palm, the  priest putteth on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be  cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great  toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt-offering; 
03O 014:018 and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the  priest, he putteth on the head of him who is to be cleansed,  and the priest hath made atonement for him before Jehovah. 
03O 014:019 `And the priest hath made the sin-offering, and hath made  atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness,  and afterwards he doth slaughter the burnt-offering; 
03O 014:020 and the priest hath caused the burnt-offering to ascend,  also the present, on the altar, and the priest hath made  atonement for him, and he hath been clean. 
03O 014:021 `And if he [is] poor, and his hand is not reaching [these  things], then he hath taken one lamb -- a guilt-offering, for a  wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth deal of  flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil, 
03O 014:022 and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand  reacheth to, and one hath been a sin-offering, and the one a  burnt-offering; 
03O 014:023 and he hath brought them in on the eighth day for his  cleansing unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of  meeting, before Jehovah. 
03O 014:024 `And the priest hath taken the lamb of the guilt-offering,  and the log of oil, and the priest hath waved them -- a  wave-offering before Jehovah; 
03O 014:025 and he hath slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering,  and the priest hath taken of the blood of the guilt-offering,  and hath put on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be  cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great  toe of his right foot; 
03O 014:026 and the priest doth pour of the oil on the left palm of  the priest; 
03O 014:027 and the priest hath sprinkled with his right finger of the  oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before Jehovah. 
03O 014:028 `And the priest hath put of the oil which [is] on his  palm, on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed,  and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his  right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering; 
03O 014:029 and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the  priest he doth put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to  make atonement for him, before Jehovah. 
03O 014:030 `And he hath made the one of the turtle-doves, or of the  young pigeons (from that which his hand reacheth to, 
03O 014:031 [even] that which his hand reacheth to), the one a  sin-offering, and the one a burnt offering, besides the  present, and the priest hath made atonement for him who is to  be cleansed before Jehovah. 
03O 014:032 This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy,  whose hand reacheth not to his cleansing.' 
03O 014:033 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
03O 014:034 `When ye come in unto the land of Canaan, which I am  giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of  leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession; 
03O 014:035 then hath he whose the house [is] come in and declared to  the priest, saying, As a plague hath appeared to me in the  house; 
03O 014:036 and the priest hath commanded, and they have prepared the  house before the priest cometh in to see the plague (that all  which [is] in the house be not unclean), and afterwards doth  the priest come in to see the house; 
03O 014:037 and he hath seen the plague, and lo, the plague [is] in  the walls of the house, hollow strakes, very green or very red,  and their appearance [is] lower than the wall, 
03O 014:038 and the priest hath gone out of the house unto the opening  of the house, and hath shut up the house seven days. 
03O 014:039 `And the priest hath turned back on the seventh day, and  hath seen, and lo, the plague hath spread in the walls of the  house, 
03O 014:040 and the priest hath commanded, and they have drawn out the  stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them unto the  outside of the city, unto an unclean place; 
03O 014:041 and the house he doth cause to be scraped within round  about, and they have poured out the clay which they have  scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place; 
03O 014:042 and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] in  unto the place of the stones, and other clay he taketh and hath  daubed the house. 
03O 014:043 `And if the plague return, and hath broken out in the  house, after he hath drawn out the stones, and after the  scraping of the house, and after the daubing; 
03O 014:044 then hath the priest come in and seen, and lo, the plague  hath spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the  house; it [is] unclean. 
03O 014:045 `And he hath broken down the house, its stones, and its  wood, and all the clay of the house, and he hath brought [them]  forth unto the outside of the city, unto an unclean place. 
03O 014:046 `And he who is going in unto the house all the days he  hath shut it up, is unclean till the evening; 
03O 014:047 and he who is lying in the house doth wash his garments;  and he who is eating in the house doth wash his garments. 
03O 014:048 `And if the priest certainly come in, and hath seen, and  lo, the plague hath not spread in the house after the daubing  of the house, then hath the priest pronounced the house clean,  for the plague hath been healed. 
03O 014:049 `And he hath taken for the cleansing of the house two  birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop; 
03O 014:050 and he hath slaughtered the one bird upon an earthen  vessel, over running water; 
03O 014:051 and he hath taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the  scarlet, and the living bird, and hath dipped them in the blood  of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and hath  sprinkled upon the house seven times. 
03O 014:052 `And he hath cleansed the house 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; 
03O 014:053 and he hath sent away the living bird unto the outside of  the city unto the face of the field, and hath made atonement  for the house, and it hath been clean. 
03O 014:054 `This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for  scall, 
03O 014:055 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 
03O 014:056 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot,  -- 
03O 014:057 to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of  being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.' 
03O 015:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
03O 015:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and ye have said unto them,  When there is an issue out of the flesh of any man, [for] his  issue he [is] unclean; 
03O 015:003 and this is his uncleanness in his issue -- his flesh hath  run with his issue, or his flesh hath stopped from his issue;  it [is] his uncleanness. 
03O 015:004 `All the bed on which he lieth who hath the issue is  unclean, and all the vessel on which he sitteth is unclean;

03O 015:006 `And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sitteth  who hath the issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed  with water, and been unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:007 `And he who is coming against the flesh of him who hath the  issue, doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and  hath been unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:008 `And when he who hath the issue spitteth on him who is  clean, then he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with  water, and been unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:009 `And all the saddle on which he rideth who hath the issue  is unclean; 
03O 015:010 and any one who is coming against anything which is under  him is unclean till the evening, and he who is bearing them  doth wash his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been  unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:011 `And anyone against whom he cometh who hath the issue (and  his hands hath not rinsed with water) hath even washed his  garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean till the  evening. 
03O 015:012 `And the earthen vessel which he who hath the issue cometh  against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with  water. 
03O 015:013 `And when he who hath the issue is clean from his issue,  then he hath numbered to himself seven days for his cleansing,  and hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with  running water, and been clean. 
03O 015:014 `And on the eighth day he taketh to himself two  turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath come in before  Jehovah unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath given  them unto the priest; 
03O 015:015 and the priest hath made them, one a sin-offering, and the  one a burnt-offering; and the priest hath made atonement for  him before Jehovah, because of his issue. 
03O 015:016 `And when a man's seed of copulation goeth out from him,  then he hath bathed with water all his flesh, and been unclean  till the evening. 
03O 015:017 `And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed of  copulation, hath also been washed with water, and been unclean  till the evening. 
03O 015:018 `And a woman with whom a man lieth with seed of  copulation, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean  till the evening. 
03O 015:019 `And when a woman hath an issue -- blood is her issue in  her flesh -- seven days she is in her separation, and any one  who is coming against her is unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:020 `And anything on which she lieth in her separation is  unclean, and anything on which she sitteth is unclean; 
03O 015:021 and any one who is coming against her bed doth wash his  garments, and hath bathed with water, and been unclean till the  evening. 
03O 015:022 `And any one who is coming against any vessel on which she  sitteth doth wash his garments, and hath washed with water, and  been unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:023 `And if it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she  is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean till the  evening. 
03O 015:024 `And if a man really lie with her, and her separation is  on him, then he hath been unclean seven days, and all the bed  on which he lieth is unclean. 
03O 015:025 `And when a woman's issue of blood floweth many days  within the time of her separation, or when it floweth over her  separation -- all the days of the issue of her uncleanness are  as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean. 
03O 015:026 `All the bed on which she lieth all the days of her issue  is as the bed of her separation to her, and all the vessel on  which she sitteth is unclean as the uncleanness of her  separation; 
03O 015:027 and any one who is coming against them is unclean, and  hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and been  unclean till the evening. 
03O 015:028 `And if she hath been clean from her issue, then she hath  numbered to herself seven days, and afterwards she is clean; 
03O 015:029 and on the eighth day she taketh to herself two  turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, and hath brought them in  unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting; 
03O 015:030 and the priest hath made the one a sin-offering, and the  one a burnt-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for  her before Jehovah, because of the issue of her uncleanness. 
03O 015:031 `And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their  uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their  defiling My tabernacle which [is] in their midst. 
03O 015:032 `This [is] the law of him who hath an issue, and of him  whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, for uncleanness  thereby, 
03O 015:033 and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who  hath an issue, the issue of a male or of a female, and of a man  who lieth with an unclean woman.' 
03O 016:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, after the death of the two  sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before Jehovah, and they  die; 
03O 016:002 yea, Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto Aaron thy  brother, and he cometh not in at all times unto the sanctuary  within the vail, unto the front of the mercy-seat, which [is]  upon the ark, and he dieth not, for in a cloud I am seen upon  the mercy-seat. 
03O 016:003 `With this doth Aaron come in unto the sanctuary; with a  bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a  burnt-offering; 
03O 016:004 a holy linen coat he putteth on, and linen trousers are on  his flesh, and with a linen girdle he girdeth himself, and with  a linen mitre he wrappeth himself up; they [are] holy garments;  and he hath bathed with water his flesh, and hath put them on. 
03O 016:005 `And from the company of the sons of Israel he taketh two  kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a  burnt-offering; 
03O 016:006 and Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the sin-offering  which is his own, and hath made atonement for himself, and for  his house; 
03O 016:007 and he hath taken the two goats, and hath caused them to  stand before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting. 
03O 016:008 `And Aaron hath given lots over the two goats, one lot for  Jehovah, and one lot for a goat of departure; 
03O 016:009 and Aaron hath brought near the goat on which the lot for  Jehovah hath gone up, and hath made it a sin-offering. 
03O 016:010 `And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure  hath gone up is caused to stand living before Jehovah to make  atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into  the wilderness. 
03O 016:011 `And Aaron hath brought near the bullock of the  sin-offering which is his own, and hath made atonement for  himself, and for his house, and hath slaughtered the bullock of  the sin-offering which [is] his own, 
03O 016:012 and hath taken the fulness of the censer of burning coals  of fire from off the altar, from before Jehovah, and the  fulness of his hands of thin spice-perfume, and hath brought  [it] within the vail; 
03O 016:013 and he hath put the perfume on the fire before Jehovah,  and the cloud of the perfume hath covered the mercy-seat which  [is] on the testimony, and he dieth not. 
03O 016:014 `And he hath taken of the blood of the bullock, and hath  sprinkled with his finger on the front of the mercy-seat  eastward; even at the front of the mercy-seat he doth sprinkle  seven times of the blood with his finger. 
03O 016:015 `And he hath slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering  which [is] the people's, and hath brought in its blood unto the  inside of the vail, and hath done with its blood as he hath  done with the blood of the bullock, and hath sprinkled it on  the mercy-seat, and at the front of the mercy-seat, 
03O 016:016 and he hath made atonement for the sanctuary because of  the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their  transgressions in all their sins; and so he doth for the tent  of meeting which is tabernacling with them in the midst of  their uncleannesses. 
03O 016:017 `And no man is in the tent of meeting in his going in to  make atonement in the sanctuary, till his coming out; and he  hath made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all  the assembly of Israel. 
03O 016:018 `And he hath gone out unto the altar which [is] before  Jehovah, and hath made atonement for it; and he hath taken of  the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and  hath put on the horns of the altar round about; 
03O 016:019 and he hath sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger  seven times, and hath cleansed it, and hath hallowed it from  the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel. 
03O 016:020 `And he hath ceased from making atonement [for] the  sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, and hath  brought near the living goat; 
03O 016:021 and Aaron hath laid his two hands on the head of the  living goat, and hath confessed over it all the iniquities of  the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their  sins, and hath put them on the head of the goat, and hath sent  [it] away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness; 
03O 016:022 and the goat hath borne on him all their iniquities unto a  land of separation. `And he hath sent the goat away into the  wilderness, 
03O 016:023 and Aaron hath come in unto the tent of meeting, and hath  stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his  going in unto the sanctuary, and hath placed them there; 
03O 016:024 and he hath bathed his flesh with water in the holy place,  and hath put on his garments, and hath come out, and hath made  his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and  hath made atonement for himself and for the people; 
03O 016:025 and with the fat of the sin-offering he doth make perfume  on the altar. 
03O 016:026 `And he who is sending away the goat for a goat of  departure doth wash his garments, and hath bathed his flesh  with water, and afterwards he cometh in unto the camp. 
03O 016:027 `And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the  sin-offering, whose blood hath been brought in to make  atonement in the sanctuary, doth [one] bring out unto the  outside of the camp, and they have burnt with fire their skins,  and their flesh, and their dung; 
03O 016:028 and he who is burning them doth wash his garments, and  hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards he cometh in  unto the camp. 
03O 016:029 `And it hath been to you for a statute age-during, in the  seventh month, in the tenth of the month, ye humble yourselves,  and do no work -- the native, and the sojourner who is  sojourning in your midst; 
03O 016:030 for on this day he maketh atonement for you, to cleanse  you; from all your sins before Jehovah ye are clean; 
03O 016:031 it [is] to you a sabbath of rest, and ye have humbled  yourselves -- a statute age-during. 
03O 016:032 `And the priest whom he doth anoint, and whose hand he  doth consecrate to act as priest instead of his father, hath  made atonement, and hath put on the linen garments, the holy  garments; 
03O 016:033 and he hath made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and  [for] the tent of meeting, even [for] the altar he doth make  atonement; yea, for the priests, and for all the people of the  assembly he maketh atonement. 
03O 016:034 `And this hath been to you for a statute age-during, to  make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their  sins, once in a year;' and he doth as Jehovah hath commanded  Moses. 
03O 017:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 017:002 `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the sons  of Israel; and thou hast said unto them, This [is] the thing  which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, 
03O 017:003 Any man of the house of Israel who slaughtereth ox, or  lamb, or goat, in the camp, or who slaughtereth at the outside  of the camp, 
03O 017:004 and unto the opening of the tent of meeting hath not  brought it in to bring near an offering to Jehovah before the  tabernacle of Jehovah, blood is reckoned to that man -- blood  he hath shed -- and that man hath been cut off from the midst  of his people; 
03O 017:005 so that the sons of Israel do bring in their sacrifices  which they are sacrificing on the face of the field, yea, they  have brought them in to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent  of meeting, unto the priest, and they have sacrificed  sacrifices of peace-offerings to Jehovah with them. 
03O 017:006 `And the priest hath sprinkled the blood upon the altar of  Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting, and hath made  perfume with the fat for sweet fragrance to Jehovah; 
03O 017:007 and they sacrifice not any more their sacrifices to goats  after which they are going a-whoring; a statute age-during is  this to them, to their generations. 
03O 017:008 `And unto them thou sayest: Any man of the house of Israel,  or of the sojourners, who sojourneth in your midst, who causeth  burnt-offering or sacrifice to ascend, 
03O 017:009 and unto the opening of the tent of meeting doth not bring  it in to make it to Jehovah -- that man hath been cut off from  his people. 
03O 017:010 `And any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners,  who is sojourning in your midst, who eateth any blood, I have  even set My face against the person who is eating the blood,  and have cut him off from the midst of his people; 
03O 017:011 for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have  given it to you on the altar, to make atonement for your souls;  for it [is] the blood which maketh atonement for the soul. 
03O 017:012 `Therefore I have said to the sons of Israel, No person  among you doth eat blood, and the sojourner who is sojourning  in your midst doth not eat blood; 
03O 017:013 and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners,  who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or  fowl, which is eaten -- hath even poured out its blood, and  hath covered it with dust; 
03O 017:014 for [it is] the life of all flesh, its blood is for its  life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do  not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating  it is cut off. 
03O 017:015 `And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among  natives or among sojourners -- hath both washed his garments,  and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the  evening -- then he hath been clean; 
03O 017:016 and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not -- then he  hath borne his iniquity.' 
03O 018:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 018:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, I [am] Jehovah your God; 
03O 018:003 according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have  dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of  Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their  statutes ye walk not. 
03O 018:004 `My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in  them; I [am] Jehovah your God; 
03O 018:005 and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man  doth and liveth in them; I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 018:006 `None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near  to uncover nakedness; I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 018:007 `The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy  mother thou dost not uncover, she [is] thy mother; thou dost  not uncover her nakedness. 
03O 018:008 `The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not  uncover; it [is] the nakedness of thy father. 
03O 018:009 `The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or  daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost  not uncover their nakedness. 
03O 018:010 `The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's  daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs  [is] thy nakedness. 
03O 018:011 `The nakedness of a daughter of thy father's wife,  begotten of thy father, she [is] thy sister; thou dost not  uncover her nakedness. 
03O 018:012 `The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not  uncover; she [is] a relation of thy father. 
03O 018:013 `The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not  uncover; for she [is] thy mother's relation. 
03O 018:014 `The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not  uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she [is] thine  aunt. 
03O 018:015 `The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not  uncover; she [is] thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her  nakedness. 
03O 018:016 `The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not  uncover; it [is] thy brother's nakedness. 
03O 018:017 `The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not  uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou  dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they [are] her  relations; it [is] wickedness. 
03O 018:018 `And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an  adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life. 
03O 018:019 `And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness  thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness. 
03O 018:020 `And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy  seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her. 
03O 018:021 `And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the  Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I [am]  Jehovah. 
03O 018:022 `And with a male thou dost not lie as one lieth with a  woman; abomination it [is]. 
03O 018:023 `And with any beast thou dost not give thy copulation, for  uncleanness with it; and a woman doth not stand before a beast  to lie down with it; confusion it [is]. 
03O 018:024 `Ye are not defiled with all these, for with all these  have the nations been defiled which I am sending away from  before you; 
03O 018:025 and the land is defiled, and I charge its iniquity upon  it, and the land vomiteth out its inhabitants: 
03O 018:026 and ye -- ye have kept My statutes and My judgments, and  do not [any] of all these abominations, the native and the  sojourner who is sojourning in your midst, 
03O 018:027 (for all these abominations have the men of the land done  who [are] before you, and the land is defiled), 
03O 018:028 and the land doth not vomit you out in your defiling it,  as it hath vomited out the nation which [is] before you; 
03O 018:029 for any one who doth [any] of all these abominations --  even the persons who are doing [so], have been cut off from the  midst of their people; 
03O 018:030 and ye have kept My charge, so as not to do [any] of the  abominable statutes which have been done before you, and ye do  not defile yourselves with them; I [am] Jehovah your God.' 
03O 019:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 019:002 `Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou  hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah,  your God. 
03O 019:003 `Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths  ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.

03O 019:009 `And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not  completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of  thy harvest thou dost not gather,

03O 019:013 `Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder;  the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till  morning. 
03O 019:014 `Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou  dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of  thy God; I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 019:015 `Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift  up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in  righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

03O 019:019 `My statutes ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to  gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with  diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth  not go up upon thee. 
03O 019:020 `And when a man lieth with a woman with seed of  copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not  really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an  investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is]  not free. 
03O 019:021 `And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah,  unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a  guilt-offering, 
03O 019:022 and the priest hath made atonement for him with the ram of  the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath  sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which  he hath sinned. 
03O 019:023 `And when ye come in unto the land, and have planted all  [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as  uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you  uncircumcised, it is not eaten, 
03O 019:024 and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy -- praises  for Jehovah. 
03O 019:025 And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit -- to add to you  its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God. 
03O 019:026 `Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor  observe clouds. 
03O 019:027 `Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the  corner of thy beard.

03O 020:016 `And a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with  it -- thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are  certainly put to death; their blood [is] on them. 
03O 020:017 `And a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father  or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and  she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut  off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness  of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth. 
03O 020:018 `And a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered  her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath  uncovered the fountain of her blood, -- even both of them have  been cut off from the midst of their people. 
03O 020:019 `And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, and of thy  father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he  hath made bare; their iniquity they bear. 
03O 020:020 `And a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his  uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they  die. 
03O 020:021 `And a man who taketh his brother's wife -- it [is]  impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered;  childless they are. 
03O 020:022 `And ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments,  and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I  am bringing you in to dwell in it; 
03O 020:023 and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am  sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and  I am wearied with them; 
03O 020:024 and I say to you, Ye -- ye do possess their ground, and I  -- I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and  honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath separated you from the  peoples. 
03O 020:025 `And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and  the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye  do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by  anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated  to you for unclean; 
03O 020:026 and ye have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and  I separate you from the peoples to become Mine. 
03O 020:027 `And a man or woman -- when there is in them a familiar  spirit, or who [are] wizards -- are certainly put to death;  with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.' 
03O 021:001 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Speak unto the priests, sons  of Aaron, and thou hast said unto them, For [any] person [a  priest] is not defiled among his people, 
03O 021:002 except for his 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. 
03O 021:003 and for his sister, the virgin, who is near unto him, who  hath not been to a man; for her he is defiled. 
03O 021:004 `A master [priest] doth not defile himself among his people  -- to pollute himself; 
03O 021:005 they do not make baldness on their head, and the corner of  their beard they do not shave, and in their flesh they do not  make a cutting; 
03O 021:006 they are holy to their God, and they pollute not the name  of their God, for the fire-offerings of Jehovah, bread of their  God, they are bringing near, and have been holy. 
03O 021:007 `A woman, a harlot, or polluted, they do not take, and a  woman cast out from her husband they do not take, for he [is]  holy to his God; 
03O 021:008 and thou hast sanctified him, for the bread of thy God he  is bringing near; he is holy to thee; for holy [am] I, Jehovah,  sanctifying you. 
03O 021:009 `And a daughter of any priest when she polluteth herself by  going a-whoring -- her father she is polluting; with fire she  is burnt. 
03O 021:010 `And the high priest of his brethren, on whose head is  poured the anointing oil, and hath consecrated his hand to put  on the garments, his head doth not uncover, nor rend his  garments, 
03O 021:011 nor beside any dead person doth he come; for his father  and for his mother he doth not defile himself; 
03O 021:012 nor from the sanctuary doth he go out, nor doth he pollute  the sanctuary of his God, for the separation of the anointing  oil of his God [is] on him; I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 021:013 `And he taketh a wife in her virginity; 
03O 021:014 widow, or cast out, or polluted one -- a harlot -- these  he doth not take, but a virgin of his own people he doth take  [for] a wife, 
03O 021:015 and he doth not pollute his seed among his people; for I  [am] Jehovah, sanctifying him.' 
03O 021:016 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 021:017 `Speak unto Aaron, saying, No man of thy seed to their  generations in whom there is blemish doth draw near to bring  near the bread of his God, 
03O 021:018 for no man in whom [is] blemish doth draw near -- a man  blind, or lame or dwarfed, or enlarged, 
03O 021:019 or a man in whom there is a breach in the foot, or a  breach in the hand, 
03O 021:020 or hump-backed, or a dwarf, or with a mixture in his eye,  or a scurvy person, or scabbed, or broken-testicled. 
03O 021:021 `No man in whom is blemish (of the seed of Aaron the  priest) doth come nigh to bring near the fire-offerings of  Jehovah; blemish [is] in him; the bread of his God he doth not  come nigh to bring near. 
03O 021:022 `Bread of his God -- of the most holy things, and of the  holy things -- he doth eat; 
03O 021:023 only, unto the vail he doth not enter, and unto the altar  he doth not draw nigh; for blemish [is] in him; and he doth not  pollute My sanctuaries; for I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying them.' 
03O 021:024 And Moses speaketh unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto  all the sons of Israel. 
03O 022:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 022:002 `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and they are  separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, and they  pollute not My holy name in what they are hallowing to Me; I  [am] Jehovah. 
03O 022:003 `Say unto them, To your generations, any man who draweth  near, out of all your seed, unto the holy things which the sons  of Israel do sanctify to Jehovah, and his uncleanness on him --  even that person hath been cut off from before Me; I [am]  Jehovah. 
03O 022:004 `Any man of the seed of Aaron, and is leprous or hath an  issue -- of the holy things he doth not eat till that he is  clean; and he who is coming against any uncleanness of a  person, or a man whose seed of copulation goeth out from him, 
03O 022:005 or a man who cometh against any teeming thing which is  unclean to him, or against a man who is unclean to him, even  any of his uncleanness -- 
03O 022:006 the person who cometh against it -- hath even been unclean  till the evening, and doth not eat of the holy things, but hath  bathed his flesh with water, 
03O 022:007 and the sun hath gone in, and he hath been clean, and  afterwards he doth eat of the holy things, for it [is] his  food; 
03O 022:008 a carcase or torn thing he doth not eat, for uncleanness  thereby; I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 022:009 `And they have kept My charge, and bear no sin for it, that  they have died for it when they pollute it; I [am] Jehovah  sanctifying them. 
03O 022:010 `And no stranger doth eat of the holy thing; a settler of  a priest and an hireling doth not eat of the holy thing; 
03O 022:011 and when a priest buyeth a person, the purchase of his  money, he doth eat of it, also one born in his house; they do  eat of his bread. 
03O 022:012 `And a priest's daughter, when she is a strange man's, --  she, of the heave-offering of the holy things doth not eat; 
03O 022:013 and a priest's daughter, when she is a widow, or cast out,  and hath no seed, and hath turned back unto the house of her  father, as [in] her youth, of her father's bread she doth eat;  but no stranger doth eat of it. 
03O 022:014 `And when a man doth eat of a holy thing through  ignorance, then he hath added its fifth part to it, and hath  given [it] to the priest, with the holy thing; 
03O 022:015 and they do not pollute the holy things of the sons of  Israel -- that which they lift up to Jehovah, 
03O 022:016 nor have caused them to bear the iniquity of the  guilt-offering in their eating their holy things; for I [am]  Jehovah, sanctifying them.' 
03O 022:017 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 022:018 `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the  sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Any man of the  house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who bringeth  near his offering, of all his vows, or of all his willing  offerings which they bring near to Jehovah for a  burnt-offering; 
03O 022:019 at your pleasure a perfect one, a male of the herd, of the  sheep or of the goats; 
03O 022:020 nothing in which [is] blemish do ye bring near, for it is  not for a pleasing thing for you. 
03O 022:021 `And when a man bringeth near a sacrifice of  peace-offerings to Jehovah, to complete a vow, or for a  willing-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it is perfect  for a pleasing thing: no blemish is in it; 
03O 022:022 blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy,  or scabbed -- ye do not bring these near to Jehovah, and a  fire-offering ye do not make of them on the altar to Jehovah. 
03O 022:023 `As to an ox or a sheep enlarged or dwarfed -- a  willing-offering ye do make it, but for a vow it is not  pleasing. 
03O 022:024 As to a bruised, or beaten, or enlarged, or cut thing --  ye do not bring [it] near to Jehovah; even in your land ye do  not do it. 
03O 022:025 And from the hand of a son of a stranger ye do not bring  near the bread of your God, of any of these, for their  corruption [is] in them; blemish [is] in them; they are not  pleasing for you.' 
03O 022:026 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 022:027 `When ox or lamb or goat is born, and it hath been seven  days under its dam, then from the eighth day and henceforth, it  is pleasing for an offering, a fire-offering to Jehovah; 
03O 022:028 but an ox or sheep -- it and its young one, ye do not  slaughter in one day. 
03O 022:029 `And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to  Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice, 
03O 022:030 on that day it is eaten, ye do not leave of it till  morning; I [am] Jehovah; 
03O 022:031 and ye have kept my commands, and have done them; I [am]  Jehovah; 
03O 022:032 and ye do not pollute My holy name, and I have been  hallowed in the midst of the sons of Israel; I [am] Jehovah,  sanctifying you, 
03O 022:033 who am bringing you up out of the land of Egypt, to become  your God; I [am] Jehovah.' 
03O 023:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 023:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy  convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons: 
03O 023:003 six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a  sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a  sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings. 
03O 023:004 `These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy  convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons: 
03O 023:005 in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between  the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah; 
03O 023:006 and on the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of  unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye  do eat; 
03O 023:007 on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no  servile work; 
03O 023:008 and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven  days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no  servile work.' 
03O 023:009 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 023:010 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you,  and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the  beginning of your harvest unto the priest, 
03O 023:011 then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your  acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave  it. 
03O 023:012 `And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf  a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to  Jehovah, 
03O 023:013 and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a  fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its  drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin. 
03O 023:014 `And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat  until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering  of your God -- a statute age-during to your generations, in all  your dwellings. 
03O 023:015 `And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the  sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the  wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths; 
03O 023:016 unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty  days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah; 
03O 023:017 out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a  wave-offering, two [loaves], of two tenth deals of flour they  are, [with] yeast they are baken, first-[fruits] to Jehovah. 
03O 023:018 `And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs,  perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the  herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with  their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet  fragrance to Jehovah. 
03O 023:019 `And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a  sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of  peace-offerings, 
03O 023:020 and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the  first-[fruits] -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the  two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest; 
03O 023:021 and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy  convocation is to you, ye do no servile work -- a statute  age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations. 
03O 023:022 `And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost  not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the  gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and  to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah [am] your  God.' 
03O 023:023 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 023:024 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh  month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial  of shouting, a holy convocation; 
03O 023:025 ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a  fire-offering to Jehovah.' 
03O 023:026 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 023:027 `Only -- on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of  atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled  yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; 
03O 023:028 and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day  of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your  God. 
03O 023:029 `For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day  hath even been cut off from his people; 
03O 023:030 and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I  have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people; 
03O 023:031 ye do no work -- a statute age-during to your generations  in all your dwellings. 
03O 023:032 It [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled  yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till  evening ye do keep your sabbath.' 
03O 023:033 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 023:034 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth  day of this seventh month [is] a feast of booths seven days to  Jehovah; 
03O 023:035 on the first day [is] a holy convocation, ye do no servile  work, 
03O 023:036 seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on  the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought  near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a restraint, ye do no  servile work. 
03O 023:037 `These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye  proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to  Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and  libations, a thing of a day in its day, 
03O 023:038 apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your  gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your  willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah. 
03O 023:039 `Only -- in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in  your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast  of Jehovah seven days; on the first day [is] a sabbath, and on  the eighth day a sabbath; 
03O 023:040 and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit  of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick  trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah  your God seven days. 
03O 023:041 `And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a  year -- a statute age-during to your generations; in the  seventh month ye keep it a feast. 
03O 023:042 `In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in  Israel dwell in booths, 
03O 023:043 so that your generations do know that in booths I caused  the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the  land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.' 
03O 023:044 And Moses speaketh [concerning] the appointed seasons of  Jehovah unto the sons of Israel. 
03O 024:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 024:002 `Command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure  olive oil, beaten, for the lamp, to cause a light to go up  continually; 
03O 024:003 at the outside of the vail of the testimony in the tent of  meeting doth Aaron arrange it from evening till morning before  Jehovah continually -- a statute age-during to your  generations; 
03O 024:004 by the pure candlestick he doth arrange the lights before  Jehovah continually. 
03O 024:005 `And thou hast taken flour, and hast baked twelve cakes  with it, two tenth deals are in the one cake, 
03O 024:006 and thou hast set them two ranks (six in the rank) on the  pure table before Jehovah, 
03O 024:007 and thou hast put on the rank pure frankincense, and it  hath been to the bread for a memorial, a fire-offering to  Jehovah. 
03O 024:008 `On each sabbath-day he arrangeth it before Jehovah  continually, from the sons of Israel -- a covenant age-during; 
03O 024:009 and it hath been to Aaron, and to his sons, and they have  eaten it in the holy place, for it [is] most holy to him, from  the fire-offerings of Jehovah -- a statute age-during.' 
03O 024:010 And a son of an Israelitish woman goeth out (and he [is]  son of an Egyptian man), in the midst of the sons of Israel,  and strive in the camp do the son of the Israelitish woman and  a man of Israel, 
03O 024:011 and the son of the Israelitish woman execrateth the Name,  and revileth; and they bring him in unto Moses; and his  mother's name [is] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of  Dan; 
03O 024:012 and he causeth him to rest in charge -- to explain to  them by the mouth of Jehovah. 
03O 024:013 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 024:014 `Bring out the reviler unto the outside of the camp; and  all those hearing have laid their hands on his head, and all  the company have stoned him. 
03O 024:015 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When  any man revileth his God -- then he hath borne his sin; 
03O 024:016 and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly  put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him;  as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put  to death. 
03O 024:017 `And when a man smiteth any soul of man, he is certainly  put to death. 
03O 024:018 `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, body for body. 
03O 024:019 `And when a man putteth a blemish in his fellow, as he  hath done so it is done to him; 
03O 024:020 breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he  putteth a blemish in a man so it is done in him. 
03O 024:021 `And he who smiteth a beast repayeth it, and he who  smiteth [the life of] man is put to death; 
03O 024:022 one judgment is to you; as a sojourner so is a native; for  I [am] Jehovah your God.' 
03O 024:023 And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and they bring  out the reviler unto the outside of the camp, and stone him  with stones; and the sons of Israel have done as Jehovah hath  commanded Moses. 
03O 025:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in mount Sinai, saying, 
03O 025:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you,  then hath the land kept a sabbath to Jehovah. 
03O 025:003 `Six years thou dost sow thy field, and six years thou dost  prune thy vineyard, and hast gathered its increase, 
03O 025:004 and in the seventh year a sabbath of rest is to the land, a  sabbath to Jehovah; thy field thou dost not sow, and thy  vineyard thou dost not prune; 
03O 025:005 the spontaneous growth of thy harvest thou dost not reap,  and the grapes of thy separated thing thou dost not gather, a  year of rest it is to the land. 
03O 025:006 `And the sabbath of the land hath been to you for food, to  thee, and to thy man-servant, and to thy handmaid, and to thy  hireling, and to thy settler, who are sojourning with thee; 
03O 025:007 and to thy cattle, and to the beast which [is] in thy land,  is all thine increase for food. 
03O 025:008 `And thou hast numbered to thee seven sabbaths of years,  seven years seven times, and the days of the seven sabbaths of  years have been to thee nine and forty years, 
03O 025:009 and thou hast caused a trumpet of shouting to pass over in  the seventh month, in the tenth of the month; in the day of the  atonements ye do cause a trumpet to pass over through all your  land; 
03O 025:010 and ye have hallowed the year, the fiftieth year; and ye  have proclaimed liberty in the land to all its inhabitants; a  jubilee it is to you; and ye have turned back each unto his  possession; yea, each unto his family ye do turn back. 
03O 025:011 `A jubilee it [is], the fiftieth year, a year it is to  you; ye sow not, nor reap its spontaneous growth, nor gather  its separated things; 
03O 025:012 for a jubilee it [is], holy it is to you; out of the field  ye eat its increase; 
03O 025:013 in the year of this jubilee ye turn back each unto his  possession. 
03O 025:014 `And when thou sellest anything to thy fellow, or buyest  from the hand of thy fellow, ye do not oppress one another; 
03O 025:015 by the number of years after the jubilee thou dost buy  from thy fellow; by the number of the years of increase he doth  sell to thee; 
03O 025:016 according to the multitude of the years thou dost multiply  its price, and according to the fewness of the years thou dost  diminish its price; for a number of increases he is selling to  thee; 
03O 025:017 and ye do not oppress one another, and thou hast been  afraid of thy God; for I [am] Jehovah your God. 
03O 025:018 `And ye have done My statutes, and My judgments ye keep,  and have done them, and ye have dwelt on the land confidently, 
03O 025:019 and the land hath given its fruit, and ye have eaten to  satiety, and have dwelt confidently on it. 
03O 025:020 `And when ye say, What do we eat in the seventh year, lo,  we do not sow, nor gather our increase? 
03O 025:021 then I have commanded My blessing on you in the sixth  year, and it hath made the increase for three years; 
03O 025:022 and ye have sown the eighth year, and have eaten of the  old increase; until the ninth year, until the coming in of its  increase, ye do eat the old. 
03O 025:023 `And the land is not sold -- to extinction, for the land  [is] Mine, for sojourners and settlers [are] ye with Me; 
03O 025:024 and in all the land of your possession a redemption ye do  give to the land. 
03O 025:025 `When thy brother becometh poor, and hath sold his  possession, then hath his redeemer who is near unto him come,  and he hath redeemed the sold thing of his brother; 
03O 025:026 and when a man hath no redeemer, and his own hand hath  attained, and he hath found as sufficient [for] its redemption, 
03O 025:027 then he hath reckoned the years of its sale, and hath  given back that which is over to the man to whom he sold [it],  and he hath returned to his possession. 
03O 025:028 `And if his hand hath not found sufficiency to give back  to him, then hath his sold thing been in the hand of him who  buyeth it till the year of jubilee; and it hath gone out in the  jubilee, and he hath returned to his possession. 
03O 025:029 `And when a man selleth a dwelling-house [in] a walled  city, then hath his right of redemption been until the  completion of a year from its selling; days -- is his right of  redemption; 
03O 025:030 and if it is not redeemed until the fulness to him of a  perfect year, then hath the house which [is] in a walled city  been established to extinction to the buyer of it, to his  generations; it goeth not out in the jubilee; 
03O 025:031 and a house of the villages which have no wall round  about, on the field of the country is reckoned; redemption is  to it, and in the jubilee it goeth out. 
03O 025:032 `As to cities of the Levites -- houses of the cities of  their possession -- redemption age-during is to the Levites; 
03O 025:033 as to him who redeemeth from the Levites, both the sale of  a house and the city of his possession have gone out in the  jubilee, for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their  possession in the midst of the sons of Israel. 
03O 025:034 And a field, a suburb of their cities, is not sold; for a  possession age-during it [is] to them. 
03O 025:035 `And when thy brother is become poor, and his hand hath  failed with thee, then thou hast kept hold on him, sojourner  and settler, and he hath lived with thee; 
03O 025:036 thou takest no usury from him, or increase; and thou hast  been afraid of thy God; and thy brother hath lived with thee; 
03O 025:037 thy money thou givest not to him in usury, and for  increase thou givest not thy food; 
03O 025:038 I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out of the  land of Egypt, to give to you the land of Canaan, to become  your God. 
03O 025:039 `And when thy brother becometh poor with thee, and he hath  been sold to thee, thou dost not lay on him servile service; 
03O 025:040 as an hireling, as a settler, he is with thee, till the  year of the jubilee he doth serve with thee, -- 
03O 025:041 then he hath gone out from thee, he and his sons with him,  and hath turned back unto his family; even unto the possession  of his fathers he doth turn back. 
03O 025:042 `For they [are] My servants, whom I have brought out from  the land of Egypt: they are not sold [with] the sale of a  servant; 
03O 025:043 thou rulest not over him with rigour, and thou hast been  afraid of thy God. 
03O 025:044 `And thy man-servant and thy handmaid whom thou hast [are]  of the nations who [are] round about you; of them ye buy  man-servant and handmaid, 
03O 025:045 and also of the sons of the settlers who are sojourning  with you, of them ye buy, and of their families who [are] with  you, which they have begotten in your land, and they have been  to you for a possession; 
03O 025:046 and ye have taken them for inheritance to your sons after  you, to occupy [for] a possession; to the age ye lay service  upon them, but upon your brethren, the sons of Israel, one with  another, thou dost not rule over him with rigour. 
03O 025:047 `And when the hand of a sojourner or settler with thee  attaineth [riches], and thy brother with him hath become poor,  and he hath been sold to a sojourner, a settler with thee, or  to the root of the family of a sojourner, 
03O 025:048 after he hath been sold, there is a right of redemption to  him; one of his brethren doth redeem him, 
03O 025:049 or his uncle, or a son of his uncle, doth redeem him, or  any of the relations of his flesh, of his family, doth redeem  him, or -- his own hand hath attained -- then he hath been  redeemed. 
03O 025:050 `And he hath reckoned with his buyer from the year of his  being sold to him till the year of jubilee, and the money of  his sale hath been by the number of years; as the days of an  hireling it is with him. 
03O 025:051 `If yet many years, according to them he giveth back his  redemption [money], from the money of his purchase. 
03O 025:052 `And if few are left of the years till the year of  jubilee, then he hath reckoned with him, according to his years  he doth give back his redemption [money]; 
03O 025:053 as an hireling, year by year, he is with him, and he doth  not rule him with rigour before thine eyes. 
03O 025:054 `And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he hath  gone out in the year of jubilee, he and his sons with him. 
03O 025:055 For to Me [are] the sons of Israel servants; My servants  they [are], whom I have brought out of the land of Egypt; I,  Jehovah, [am] your God. 
03O 026:001 `Ye do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or  standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of  imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it;  for I [am] Jehovah your God. 
03O 026:002 `My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence;  I [am] Jehovah. 
03O 026:003 `If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and  have done them, 
03O 026:004 then I have given your rains in their season, and the land  hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its  fruit; 
03O 026:005 and reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and  the gathering doth reach the sowing-[time]; and ye have eaten  your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land. 
03O 026:006 `And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down,  and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil  beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass  over into your land. 
03O 026:007 `And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen  before you by the sword; 
03O 026:008 and five of you have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of  you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you  by the sword. 
03O 026:009 `And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful,  and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with  you; 
03O 026:010 and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the  new ye bring out. 
03O 026:011 `And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul  doth not loathe you; 
03O 026:012 and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have  become your God, and ye -- ye are become My people; 
03O 026:013 I [am] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the  land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break  the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect. 
03O 026:014 `And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these  commands; 
03O 026:015 and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your  soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands -- to your  breaking My covenant -- 
03O 026:016 I also do this to you, and I have appointed over you  trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming  eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have  sowed, and your enemies have eaten it; 
03O 026:017 and I have set My face against you, and ye have been  smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled  over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you. 
03O 026:018 `And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, -- then I have  added to chastise you seven times for your sins; 
03O 026:019 and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have  made your heavens as iron, and your earth as brass; 
03O 026:020 and consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your  land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth  not give its fruit. 
03O 026:021 `And if ye walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not  willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague  seven times, according to your sins, 
03O 026:022 and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath  bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you  few, and your ways have been desolate. 
03O 026:023 `And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have  walked with Me [in] opposition, 
03O 026:024 then I have walked -- I also -- with you in opposition,  and have smitten you, even I, seven times for your sins; 
03O 026:025 and I have brought in on you a sword, executing the  vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your  cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have  been given into the hand of an enemy. 
03O 026:026 `In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women  have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your  bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied. 
03O 026:027 `And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked  with Me in opposition, 
03O 026:028 then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and  have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins. 
03O 026:029 `And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of  your daughters ye do eat. 
03O 026:030 And I have destroyed your high places, and cut down your  images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your  idols, and My soul hath loathed you; 
03O 026:031 and I have made your cities a waste, and have made  desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet  fragrances; 
03O 026:032 and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who  are dwelling in it, have been astonished at it. 
03O 026:033 And you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after  you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your  cities are a waste. 
03O 026:034 `Then doth the land enjoy its sabbaths -- all the days of  the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies -- then doth  the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths; 
03O 026:035 all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it  hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on it. 
03O 026:036 `And those who are left of you -- I have also brought a  faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and  the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they  have fled -- flight from a sword -- and they have fallen, and  there is none pursuing. 
03O 026:037 And they have stumbled one on another, as from the face of  a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing  before your enemies, 
03O 026:038 and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of  your enemies hath consumed you. 
03O 026:039 `And those who are left of you -- they consume away in  their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the  iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away. 
03O 026:040 `And -- they have confessed their iniquity, and the  iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have  trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me,  in opposition, 
03O 026:041 also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them  into the land of their enemies -- or then their uncircumcised  heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their  iniquity, -- 
03O 026:042 then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also  My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I  remember, and the land I remember. 
03O 026:043 `And -- the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its  sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the  punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My  judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul  loathed, 
03O 026:044 and also even this, in their being in the land of their  enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to  consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am]  Jehovah their God; -- 
03O 026:045 then I have remembered for them the covenant of the  ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before  the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.' 
03O 026:046 These [are] the statutes, and the judgments, and the laws,  which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in  mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses. 
03O 027:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
03O 027:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When a man maketh a wonderful vow, by thy valuation the  persons [are] Jehovah's. 
03O 027:003 When thy valuation hath been of the male from a son of  twenty years even unto a son of sixty years, then hath been thy  valuation fifty shekels of silver by the shekel of the  sanctuary. 
03O 027:004 And if it [is] a female -- then hath thy valuation been  thirty shekels; 
03O 027:005 and if from a son of five years even unto a son of twenty  years -- then hath thy valuation been of the male twenty  shekels, and for the female, ten shekels; 
03O 027:006 and if from a son of a month even unto a son of five years  -- then hath thy valuation been of the male five shekels of  silver, and for the female thy valuation [is] three shekels of  silver; 
03O 027:007 and if from a son of sixty years and above -- if a male,  then hath thy valuation been fifteen shekels, and for a female,  ten shekels. 
03O 027:008 `And if he is poorer than thy valuation, then he hath  presented himself before the priest, and the priest hath valued  him; according to that which the hand of him who is vowing doth  reach doth the priest value him. 
03O 027:009 `And if [it is] a beast of which they bring near an  offering to Jehovah, all that [one] giveth of it to Jehovah is  holy; 
03O 027:010 he doth not change it nor exchange it, a good for a bad,  or a bad for a good; and if he really change beast for beast,  -- then it hath been -- it and its exchange is holy. 
03O 027:011 `And if [it is] any unclean beast of which they do not  bring near an offering to Jehovah, then he hath presented the  beast before the priest, 
03O 027:012 and the priest hath valued it; whether good or bad,  according to thy valuation, O priest, so it is; 
03O 027:013 and if he really redeem it, then he hath added its fifth  to thy valuation. 
03O 027:014 `And when a man sanctifieth his house, a holy thing to  Jehovah, then hath the priest valued it, whether good or bad;  as the priest doth value it so it standeth; 
03O 027:015 and if he who is sanctifying doth redeem his house, then  he hath added a fifth of the money of thy valuation to it, and  it hath become his. 
03O 027:016 `And if of the field of his possession a man sanctify to  Jehovah, then hath thy valuation been according to its seed; a  homer of barley-seed at fifty shekels of silver; 
03O 027:017 if from the year of the jubilee he sanctify his field,  according to thy valuation it standeth; 
03O 027:018 and if after the jubilee he sanctify his field, then hath  the priest reckoned to him the money according to the years  which are left, unto the year of the jubilee, and it hath been  abated from thy valuation. 
03O 027:019 `And if he really redeem the field -- he who is  sanctifying it -- then he hath added a fifth of the money of  thy valuation to it, and it hath been established to him; 
03O 027:020 and if he do not redeem the field, or if he hath sold the  field to another man, it is not redeemed any more; 
03O 027:021 and the field hath been, in its going out in the jubilee,  holy to Jehovah as a field which is devoted; to the priest is  its possession. 
03O 027:022 `And if the field of his purchase (which [is] not of the  fields of his possession) [one] sanctify to Jehovah -- 
03O 027:023 then hath the priest reckoned to him the amount of thy  valuation unto the year of jubilee, and he hath given thy  valuation in that day -- a holy thing to Jehovah; 
03O 027:024 in the year of the jubilee the field returneth to him from  whom he bought it, to him whose [is] the possession of the  land. 
03O 027:025 And all thy valuation is by the shekel of the sanctuary:  twenty gerahs is the shekel. 
03O 027:026 `Only, a firstling which is Jehovah's firstling among  beasts -- no man doth sanctify it, whether ox or sheep; it [is]  Jehovah's. 
03O 027:027 And if among the unclean beasts, then he hath ransomed  [it] at thy valuation, and he hath added its fifth to it; and  if it is not redeemed, then it hath been sold at thy valuation. 
03O 027:028 `Only, no devoted thing which a man devoteth to Jehovah,  of all that he hath, of man, and beast, and of the field of his  possession, is sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is most  holy to Jehovah. 
03O 027:029 `No devoted thing, which is devoted of man, is ransomed,  it is surely put to death. 
03O 027:030 And all tithe of the land, of the seed of the land, of the  fruit of the tree, is Jehovah's -- holy to Jehovah. 
03O 027:031 `And if a man really redeem [any] of his tithe, its fifth  he addeth to it. 
03O 027:032 `And all the tithe of the herd and of the flock -- all  that passeth by under the rod -- the tenth is holy to Jehovah; 
03O 027:033 he enquireth not between good and bad, nor doth he change  it; and if he really change it -- then it hath been -- it and  its exchange is holy; it is not redeemed.' 
03O 027:034 These [are] the commands which Jehovah hath commanded  Moses for the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai.  
04O 001:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,  in the tent of meeting, on the first of the second month, in  the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt,  saying: 
04O 001:002 `Take ye up the sum of all the company of the sons of Israel  by their families, by the house of their fathers, in the number  of names -- every male by their polls; 
04O 001:003 from a son of twenty years and upward, every one going out  to the host in Israel, ye do number them by their hosts, thou  and Aaron; 
04O 001:004 and with you there is a man for a tribe, each is a head to  the house of his fathers. 
04O 001:005 `And these [are] the names of the men who stand with you:  `For Reuben -- Elizur son of Shedeur. 
04O 001:006 `For Simeon -- Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 
04O 001:007 `For Judah -- Nahshon son of Amminadab. 
04O 001:008 `For Issachar -- Nathaneel son of Zuar. 
04O 001:009 `For Zebulun -- Eliab son of Helon. 
04O 001:010 `For the sons of Joseph -- for Ephraim: Elishama son of  Ammihud: for Manasseh -- Gamaliel son of Pedahzur. 
04O 001:011 `For Benjamin -- Abidan son of Gideoni. 
04O 001:012 `For Dan -- Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 
04O 001:013 `For Asher -- Pagiel son of Ocran. 
04O 001:014 `For Gad -- Eliasaph son of Deuel. 
04O 001:015 `For Naphtali -- Ahira son of Enan.' 
04O 001:016 These [are] those called of the company, princes of the  tribes of their fathers; they [are] heads of the thousands of  Israel. 
04O 001:017 And Moses taketh -- Aaron also -- these men, who were  defined by name, 
04O 001:018 and all the company they assembled on the first of the  second month, and they declare their births, by their families,  by the house of their fathers, in the number of names from a  son of twenty years and upward, by their polls, 
04O 001:019 as Jehovah hath commanded Moses; and he numbereth them in  the wilderness of Sinai. 
04O 001:020 And the sons of Reuben, Israel's first-born -- their  births, by their families, by the house of their fathers, in  the number of names, by their polls, every male from a son of  twenty years and upward, every one going out to the host -- 
04O 001:021 their numbered ones, for the tribe of Reuben, are six and  forty thousand and five hundred.

04O 001:047 And the Levites, for the tribe of their fathers, have not  numbered themselves in their midst,

04O 001:049 `Only, the tribe of Levi thou dost not number, and their  sum thou dost not take up in the midst of the sons of Israel; 
04O 001:050 and thou, appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the  testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all that it hath;  they bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels, and they serve  it; and round about the tabernacle they encamp. 
04O 001:051 `And in the journeying of the tabernacle, the Levites take  it down, and in the encamping of the tabernacle, the Levites  raise it up; and the stranger who is coming near is put to  death.' 
04O 001:052 And the sons of Israel have encamped, each by his camp, and  each by his standard, by their hosts;

04O 001:054 And the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah  hath commanded Moses; so they have done. 
04O 002:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 002:002 `Each by his standard, with ensigns of the house of their  fathers, do the sons of Israel encamp; over-against round about  the tent of meeting they encamp.' 
04O 002:003 And those encamping eastward towards the sun-rising, [are  of] the standard of the camp of Judah, by their hosts; and the  prince of the sons of Judah [is] Nahshon, son of Amminadab; 
04O 002:004 and his host, and their numbered ones, [are] four and  seventy thousand and six hundred. 
04O 002:005 And those encamping by him [are of] the tribe of Issachar;  and the prince of the sons of Issachar [is] Nethaneel son of  Zuar;

04O 003:010 `And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have  kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is put  to death.' 
04O 003:011 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 003:012 `And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the  sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among  the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been Mine; 
04O 003:013 for Mine [is] every first-born, in the day of My smiting  every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to  Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine  they are; I [am] Jehovah.' 
04O 003:014 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai,  saying, 
04O 003:015 `Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by  their families; every male from a son of a month and upward  thou dost number them.'

04O 003:040 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Number every first-born male  of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and  take up the number of their names; 
04O 003:041 and thou hast taken the Levites for Me (I [am] Jehovah),  instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the  cattle of the Levites instead of every firstling among the  cattle of the sons of Israel.' 
04O 003:042 And Moses numbereth, as Jehovah hath commanded him, all the  first-born among the sons of Israel. 
04O 003:043 And all the first-born -- male -- by the number of names,  from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are  two and twenty thousand two hundred and seventy and three. 
04O 003:044 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 003:045 `Take the Levites instead of every first-born among the  sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their  cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] Jehovah. 
04O 003:046 `And [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy  and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born of  the sons of Israel, 
04O 003:047 thou hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll -- by  the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the  shekel [is]; 
04O 003:048 and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons,  whereby those over and above are ransomed.' 
04O 003:049 And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above  those ransomed by the Levites; 
04O 003:050 from the first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the  money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five -- by  the shekel of the sanctuary; 
04O 003:051 and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and  to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah  hath commanded Moses. 
04O 004:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 004:002 `Take up the sum of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the  sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers; 
04O 004:003 from a son of thirty years and upward, even till a son of  fifty years, every one going in to the host, to do work in the  tent of meeting. 
04O 004:004 `This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of  meeting, the holy of holies: 
04O 004:005 that Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of  the camp, and have taken down the vail of the hanging, and have  covered with it the ark of the testimony; 
04O 004:006 and have put on it a covering of badger skin, and have  spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its  staves. 
04O 004:007 `And on the table of the presence they spread a garment of  blue, and have put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the  bowls, and the cups of the libation, and the bread of  continuity is on it, 
04O 004:008 and they have spread over them a garment of scarlet, and  have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed  its staves, 
04O 004:009 and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the  candlestick of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and  its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels wherewith they  minister to it; 
04O 004:010 and they have put it and all its vessels unto a covering of  badger skin, and have put [it] on the bar. 
04O 004:011 `And on the golden altar they spread a garment of blue, and  have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed  its staves; 
04O 004:012 and have taken all the vessels of ministry wherewith they  minister in the sanctuary, and have put [them] unto a garment  of blue, and have covered them with a covering of badger skin,  and have put [them] on the bar, 
04O 004:013 and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread  over it a garment of purple; 
04O 004:014 and have put on it all its vessels wherewith they minister  about it, the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the  bowls, all the vessels of the altar, and have spread on it a  covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves: 
04O 004:015 `And Aaron hath finished -- his sons also -- covering the  sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, in the  journeying of the camp, and afterwards do the sons of Kohath  come in to bear [it], and they do not come unto the holy thing,  that they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons  of Kohath in the tent of meeting. 
04O 004:016 `And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest,  [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-perfume, and the  present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of  all the tabernacle, and of all that [is] in it, in the  sanctuary, and in its vessels.' 
04O 004:017 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 004:018 `Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the  Kohathite from the midst of the Levites; 
04O 004:019 but this do to them, and they have lived, and do not die in  their drawing nigh the holy of holies: -- Aaron and his sons go  in, and have set them, each man to his service, and unto his  burden, 
04O 004:020 and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed,  that they have died.' 
04O 004:021 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 004:022 `Take up the sum of the sons of Gershon also by the house  of their fathers, by their families; 
04O 004:023 from a son of thirty years and upward, till a son of fifty  years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to serve  the host, to do the service in the tent of meeting. 
04O 004:024 `This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite,  to serve -- and for burden, 
04O 004:025 and they have borne the curtains of the tabernacle, and the  tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of the badger  [skin] which [is] on it above, and the vail at the opening of  the tent of meeting, 
04O 004:026 and the hangings of the court, and the vail at the opening  of the gate of the court which [is] by the tabernacle, and by  the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of  their service, and all that is made for them -- and they have  served. 
04O 004:027 `By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of  the sons of the Gershonite in all their burden, and in all  their service; and ye have laid a charge on them concerning the  charge of all their burden. 
04O 004:028 This [is] the service of the families of the sons of the  Gershonite in the tent of meeting; and their charge [is] under  the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 
04O 004:029 `The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of  their fathers, thou dost number them; 
04O 004:030 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of  fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to  the host, to do the service of the tent of meeting. 
04O 004:031 `And this [is] the charge of their burden, of all their  service in the tent of meeting; the boards of the tabernacle,  and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, 
04O 004:032 and the pillars of the court round about, and their  sockets, and their pins, and their cords, of all their vessels,  and of all their service; and by name ye do number the vessels  of the charge of their burden. 
04O 004:033 `This [is] the service of the families of the sons of  Merari, for all their service, in the tent of meeting, by the  hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.' 
04O 004:034 And Moses numbereth -- Aaron also, and the princes of the  company -- the sons of the Kohathite, by their families, and by  the house of their fathers, 
04O 004:035 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of  fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service  in the tent of meeting, 
04O 004:036 and their numbered ones, by their families, are two  thousand seven hundred and fifty. 
04O 004:037 These [are] those numbered of the families of the  Kohathite, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting,  whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of Jehovah, by  the hand of Moses. 
04O 004:038 And those numbered of the sons of Gershon, by their  families, and by the house of their fathers,

04O 004:040 even their numbered ones, by their families, by the house  of their fathers, are two thousand and six hundred and thirty. 
04O 004:041 These [are] those numbered of the families of the sons of  Gershon, every one who is serving in the tent of meeting, whom  Moses and Aaron numbered by the command of Jehovah. 
04O 004:042 And those numbered of the families of the sons of Merari,  by their families, by the house of their fathers, 
04O 004:043 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of  fifty years, every one who is going in to the host, for service  in the tent of meeting, 
04O 004:044 even their numbered ones, by their families, are three  thousand and two hundred. 
04O 004:045 These [are] those numbered of the families of the sons of  Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, by the command of  Jehovah, by the hand of Moses. 
04O 004:046 All those numbered, whom Moses numbered -- Aaron also, and  the princes of Israel -- of the Levites, by their families, and  by the house of their fathers, 
04O 004:047 from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of  fifty years, every one who is going in to do the work of the  service, even the service of burden in the tent of meeting, 
04O 004:048 even their numbered ones are eight thousand and five  hundred and eighty; 
04O 004:049 by the command of Jehovah hath [one] numbered them, by the  hand of Moses, each man by his service, and by his burden, with  his numbered ones, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
04O 005:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 005:002 `Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp  every leper, and every one with an issue, and every one defiled  by a body; 
04O 005:003 from male unto female ye do send out; unto the outside of  the camp ye do send them; and they defile not their camps in  the midst of which I do tabernacle.' 
04O 005:004 And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out unto  the outside of the camp; as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses so  have the sons of Israel done. 
04O 005:005 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 005:006 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, Man or woman, when they do  any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against  Jehovah, and that person [is] guilty, 
04O 005:007 and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then  he hath restored his guilt in its principal, and its fifth is  adding to it, and hath given [it] to him in reference to whom  he hath been guilty. 
04O 005:008 `And if the man have no redeemer to restore the guilt to,  the guilt which is restored [is] Jehovah's, the priest's, apart  from the ram of the atonements, whereby he maketh atonement for  him. 
04O 005:009 `And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sons  of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becometh his; 
04O 005:010 and any man's hallowed things become his; that which any  man giveth to the priest becometh his.' 
04O 005:011 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 005:012 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When any man's wife turneth aside, and hath committed  against him a trespass, 
04O 005:013 and a man hath lain with her [with] the seed of copulation,  and it hath been hid from the eyes of her husband, and  concealed, and she hath been defiled, and there is no witness  against her, and she hath not been caught, 
04O 005:014 and a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath  been jealous of his wife, and she hath been defiled; -- or, a  spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been  jealous of his wife, and she hath not been defiled -- 
04O 005:015 `Then hath the man brought in his wife unto the priest, and  he hath brought in her offering for her, a tenth of the ephah  of barley meal, he doth not pour on it oil, nor doth he put on  it frankincense, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present  of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity. 
04O 005:016 `And the priest hath brought her near, and hath caused her  to stand before Jehovah, 
04O 005:017 and the priest hath taken holy water in an earthen vessel,  and of the dust which is on the floor of the tabernacle doth  the priest take, and hath put [it] into the water, 
04O 005:018 and the priest hath caused the woman to stand before  Jehovah, and hath uncovered the woman's head, and hath given  into her hands the present of the memorial, it [is] a present  of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest are the bitter  waters which cause the curse. 
04O 005:019 `And the priest hath caused her to swear, and hath said  unto the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast  not turned aside [to] uncleanness under thy husband, be free  from these bitter waters which cause the curse; 
04O 005:020 and thou, if thou hast turned aside under thy husband, and  if thou hast been defiled, and any man doth give his copulation  to thee besides thy husband -- 
04O 005:021 (then the priest hath caused the woman to swear with an  oath of execration, and the priest hath said to the woman) --  Jehovah doth give thee for an execration, and for a curse, in  the midst of thy people, in Jehovah's giving thy thigh to fall,  and thy belly to swell, 
04O 005:022 and these waters which cause the curse have gone into thy  bowels, to cause the belly to swell, and the thigh to fall; and  the woman hath said, Amen, Amen. 
04O 005:023 `And the priest hath written these execrations in a book,  and hath blotted [them] out with the bitter waters, 
04O 005:024 and hath caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which  cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have  entered into her for bitter things. 
04O 005:025 `And the priest hath taken out of the hand of the woman the  present of jealousy, and hath waved the present before Jehovah,  and hath brought it near unto the altar; 
04O 005:026 and the priest hath taken a handful of the present, its  memorial, and hath made perfume on the altar, and afterwards  doth cause the woman to drink the water: 
04O 005:027 yea, he hath caused her to drink the water, and it hath  come to pass, if she hath been defiled, and doth commit a  trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the  curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly hath  swelled, and her thigh hath fallen, and the woman hath become  an execration in the midst of her people. 
04O 005:028 `And if the woman hath not been defiled, and is clean, then  she hath been acquitted, and hath been sown [with] seed. 
04O 005:029 `This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife turneth aside  under her husband, and hath been defiled, 
04O 005:030 or when a spirit of jealousy passeth over a man, and he  hath been jealous of his wife, then he hath caused the woman to  stand before Jehovah, and the priest hath done to her all this  law, 
04O 005:031 and the man hath been acquitted from iniquity, and that  woman doth bear her iniquity.' 
04O 006:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 006:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When a man or woman doeth singularly, by vowing a vow of  a Nazarite, to be separate to Jehovah; 
04O 006:003 from wine and strong drink he doth keep separate; vinegar of  wine, and vinegar of strong drink he doth not drink, and any  juice of grapes he doth not drink, and grapes moist or dry he  doth not eat; 
04O 006:004 all days of his separation, of anything which is made of the  wine-vine, from kernels even unto husk, he doth not eat. 
04O 006:005 `All days of the vow of his separation a razor doth not pass  over his head; till the fulness of the days which he doth  separate to Jehovah he is holy; grown up hath the upper part of  the hair of his head. 
04O 006:006 `All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead  person he doth not go; 
04O 006:007 for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for  his sister -- he is not unclean for them at their death, for  the separation of his God [is] on his head; 
04O 006:008 all days of his separation he [is] holy to Jehovah. 
04O 006:009 `And when the dead dieth beside him in an instant, suddenly,  and he hath defiled the head of his separation, then he hath  shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day  he doth shave it, 
04O 006:010 and on the eighth day he bringeth in two turtle-doves or  two young pigeons unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent  of meeting, 
04O 006:011 and the priest hath prepared one for a sin-offering, and  one for a burnt-offering, and hath made atonement for him,  because of that which he hath sinned by the body, and he hath  hallowed his head on that day; 
04O 006:012 and he hath separated to Jehovah the days of his  separation, and he hath brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for  a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his  separation hath been defiled. 
04O 006:013 `And this [is] the law of the Nazarite; in the day of the  fulness of the days of his separation doth [one] bring him in  unto the opening of the tent of meeting, 
04O 006:014 and he hath brought near his offering to Jehovah, one  he-lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering,  and one she-lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a  sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings, 
04O 006:015 and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed  with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with  oil, and their present, and their libations. 
04O 006:016 `And the priest hath brought [them] near before Jehovah,  and hath made his sin-offering and his burnt-offering; 
04O 006:017 and the ram he maketh a sacrifice of peace-offerings to  Jehovah, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the  priest hath made its present and its libation. 
04O 006:018 `And the Nazarite hath shaved (at the opening of the tent  of meeting) the head of his separation, and hath taken the hair  of the head of his separation, and hath put [it] on the fire  which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings. 
04O 006:019 `And the priest hath taken the boiled shoulder from the  ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin  unleavened cake, and hath put on the palms of the Nazarite  after his shaving his separation; 
04O 006:020 and the priest hath waved them, a wave-offering before  Jehovah; it [is] holy to the priest, besides the breast of the  wave-offering, and besides the leg of the heave-offering; and  afterwards doth the Nazarite drink wine. 
04O 006:021 `This [is] the law of the Nazarite, who voweth his offering  to Jehovah for his separation, apart from that which his hand  attaineth; according to his vow which he voweth so he doth by  the law of his separation.' 
04O 006:022 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 006:023 `Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do  bless the sons of Israel, saying to them, 
04O 006:024 `Jehovah bless thee and keep thee; 
04O 006:025 `Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour  thee; 
04O 006:026 `Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for  thee -- peace. 
04O 006:027 `And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I  -- I do bless them.' 
04O 007:001 And it cometh to pass on the day of Moses' finishing setting  up the tabernacle, that he anointeth it, and sanctifieth it,  and all its vessels, and the altar, and all its vessels, and he  anointeth them, and sanctifieth them, 
04O 007:002 and the princes of Israel (heads of the house of their  fathers, they [are] princes of the tribes, they who are  standing over those numbered) bring near, 
04O 007:003 yea, they bring their offering before Jehovah, six waggons  covered, and twelve oxen -- a waggon for two of the princes,  and an ox for one -- and they bring them near before the  tabernacle. 
04O 007:004 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 007:005 `Receive from them, and they have been to do the service of  the tent of meeting, and thou hast given them unto the Levites,  each according to his service.' 
04O 007:006 And Moses taketh the waggons and the oxen, and giveth them  unto the Levites. 
04O 007:007 The two of the waggons and the four of the oxen he hath  given to the sons of Gershon, according to their service, 
04O 007:008 and the four of the waggons and the eight of the oxen he  hath given to the sons of Merari, according to their service,  by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest; 
04O 007:009 and to the sons of Kohath he hath not given, for the service  of the sanctuary [is] on them: on the shoulder they bear. 
04O 007:010 And the princes bring near the dedication of the altar in  the day of its being anointed; yea, the princes bring near  their offering before the altar. 
04O 007:011 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `One prince a day -- one  prince a day -- do they bring near their offering for the  dedication of the altar.' 
04O 007:012 And he who is bringing near on the first day his offering  is Nahshon son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah.

04O 008:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 008:002 `Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy  causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the  candlestick do the seven lights give light.' 
04O 008:003 And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick  he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded  Moses. 
04O 008:004 And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of  gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as  the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the  candlestick. 
04O 008:005 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 008:006 `Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and  thou hast cleansed them. 
04O 008:007 `And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon  them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass  over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and  cleansed themselves, 
04O 008:008 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its  present, flour mixed with oil, -- and a second bullock a son of  the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering, 
04O 008:009 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of  meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons  of Israel, 
04O 008:010 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and  the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites, 
04O 008:011 and Aaron hath waved the Levites -- a wave-offering before  Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been -- for  doing the service of Jehovah. 
04O 008:012 `And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the  bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a  burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites, 
04O 008:013 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and  before his sons, and hast waved them -- a wave-offering to  Jehovah; 
04O 008:014 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the  sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine; 
04O 008:015 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of  meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them -- a  wave-offering. 
04O 008:016 `For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the  sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb -- the  first-born of all -- from the sons of Israel I have taken them  to Myself; 
04O 008:017 for Mine [is] every first-born among the sons of Israel,  among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every  first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself; 
04O 008:018 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among  the sons of Israel: 
04O 008:019 `And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons,  from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the  sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement  for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons  of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the  sanctuary.' 
04O 008:020 And Moses doth -- Aaron also, and all the company of the  sons of Israel -- to the Levites according to all that Jehovah  hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons  of Israel done to them. 
04O 008:021 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their  garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah,  and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them, 
04O 008:022 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service  in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as  Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they  have done to them. 
04O 008:023 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 008:024 `This [is] that which [is] the Levites': from a son of five  and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in  the service of the tent of meeting, 
04O 008:025 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host  of the service, and doth not serve any more, 
04O 008:026 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of  meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou  dost to the Levites concerning their charge.' 
04O 009:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai,  in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in  the first month, saying, 
04O 009:002 `Also, the sons of Israel prepare the passover in its  appointed season; 
04O 009:003 in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings ye  prepare it in its appointed season; according to all its  statutes, and according to all its ordinances ye prepare it.' 
04O 009:004 And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel to prepare the  passover, 
04O 009:005 and they prepare the passover in the first [month], on the  fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the  wilderness of Sinai; according to all that Jehovah hath  commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done. 
04O 009:006 And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a  man, and they have not been able to prepare the passover on  that day, and they come near before Moses, and before Aaron, on  that day, 
04O 009:007 and those men say unto him, `We are defiled by the body of a  man; why are we withheld so as not to bring near the offering  of Jehovah in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of  Israel?' 
04O 009:008 And Moses saith unto them, `Stand ye, and I hear what  Jehovah hath commanded concerning you.' 
04O 009:009 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 009:010 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is  unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your  generations), yet he hath prepared a passover to Jehovah; 
04O 009:011 in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the  evenings they prepare it; with unleavened and bitter things  they eat it; 
04O 009:012 they do not leave of till morning; and a bone they do not  break in it: according to all the statute of the passover they  prepare it. 
04O 009:013 `And the man who is clean, and hath not been on a journey,  and hath ceased to prepare the passover, even that person hath  been cut off from his people; because the offering of Jehovah  he hath not brought near, in its appointed season, that man  doth bear his sin. 
04O 009:014 `And when a sojourner sojourneth with you, then he hath  prepared a passover to Jehovah, according to the statute of the  passover, and according to its ordinance, so he doth; one  statute is to you, even to a sojourner, and to a native of the  land.' 
04O 009:015 And in the day of the raising up of the tabernacle hath the  cloud covered the tabernacle, even the tent of the testimony;  and in the evening there is on the tabernacle as an appearance  of fire till morning; 
04O 009:016 so it is continually; the cloud covereth it, also the  appearance of fire by night. 
04O 009:017 And according to the going up of the cloud from off the  tent and afterwards do the sons of Israel journey; and in the  place where the cloud doth tabernacle, there do the sons of  Israel encamp; 
04O 009:018 by the command of Jehovah the sons of Israel journey, and  by the command of Jehovah they encamp; all the days that the  cloud doth tabernacle over the tabernacle they encamp. 
04O 009:019 And in the cloud prolonging itself over the tabernacle many  days, then have the sons of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah,  and journey not, 
04O 009:020 and so when the cloud is a number of days over the  tabernacle; by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the  command of Jehovah they journey. 
04O 009:021 And so when the cloud is from evening till morning, when  the cloud hath gone up in the morning, then they have  journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud hath gone  up, then they have journeyed. 
04O 009:022 Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud  prolonging itself over the tabernacle, to tabernacle over it,  the sons of Israel encamp, and journey not; and in its being  lifted up they journey; 
04O 009:023 by the command of Jehovah they encamp, and by the command  of Jehovah they journey; the charge of Jehovah they have kept,  by the command of Jehovah in the hand of Moses. 
04O 010:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 010:002 `Make to thee two trumpets of silver; beaten work thou dost  make them, and they have been to thee for the convocation of  the company, and for the journeying of the camps; 
04O 010:003 and they have blown with them, and all the company have met  together unto thee, unto the opening of the tent of meeting. 
04O 010:004 And if with one they blow, then have the princes, heads of  the thousands of Israel, met together unto thee; 
04O 010:005 `And ye have blown -- a shout, and the camps which are  encamping eastward have journeyed. 
04O 010:006 `And ye have blown -- a second shout, and the camps which  are encamping southward have journeyed; a shout they blow for  their journeys. 
04O 010:007 `And in the assembling of the assembly ye blow, and do not  shout; 
04O 010:008 and sons of Aaron, the priests, blow with the trumpets; and  they have been to you for a statute age-during to your  generations. 
04O 010:009 `And when ye go into battle in your land against the  adversary who is distressing you, then ye have shouted with the  trumpets, and ye have been remembered before Jehovah your God,  and ye have been saved from your enemies. 
04O 010:010 `And in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed  seasons, and in the beginnings of your months, ye have blown  also with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the  sacrifices of your peace-offerings, and they have been to you  for a memorial before your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.' 
04O 010:011 And it cometh to pass -- in the second year, in the second  month, in the twentieth of the month -- the cloud hath gone up  from off the tabernacle of the testimony, 
04O 010:012 and the sons of Israel journey in their journeyings from  the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud doth tabernacle in the  wilderness of Paran; 
04O 010:013 and they journey at first, by the command of Jehovah, in  the hand of Moses. 
04O 010:014 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah  journeyeth in the first [place], by their hosts, and over its  host [is] Nahshon son of Amminadab. 
04O 010:015 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar  [is] Nathaneel son of Zuar. 
04O 010:016 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun [is]  Eliab son of Helon; 
04O 010:017 And the tabernacle hath been taken down, and the sons of  Gershon and the sons of Merari have journeyed, bearing the  tabernacle. 
04O 010:018 And the standard of the camp of Reuben hath journeyed, by  their hosts, and over its host [is] Elizur son of Shedeur. 
04O 010:019 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon [is]  Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 
04O 010:020 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad [is]  Eliasaph son of Deuel; 
04O 010:021 And the Kohathites have journeyed, bearing the tabernacle,  and the [others] have raised up the tabernacle until their  coming in. 
04O 010:022 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim hath  journeyed, by their hosts, and over its host [is] Elishama son  of Ammihud. 
04O 010:023 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh  [is] Gamalial son of Pedahzur. 
04O 010:024 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin  [is] Abidan son of Gideoni. 
04O 010:025 And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan hath  journeyed (rearward to all the camps), by their hosts, and over  its host [is] Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai. 
04O 010:026 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher [is]  Pagiel son of Ocran. 
04O 010:027 And over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali  [is] Ahira son of Enan. 
04O 010:028 These [are] journeyings of the sons of Israel by their  hosts -- and they journey. 
04O 010:029 And Moses saith to Hobab son of Raguel the Midianite,  father-in-law of Moses, `We are journeying unto the place of  which Jehovah hath said, I give it to you; go with us, and we  have done good to thee; for Jehovah hath spoken good concerning  Israel.' 
04O 010:030 And he saith unto him, `I do not go; but unto my land and  unto my kindred do I go.' 
04O 010:031 And he saith, `I pray thee, forsake us not, because thou  hast known our encamping in the wilderness, and thou hast been  to us for eyes; 
04O 010:032 and it hath come to pass when thou goest with us, yea, it  hath come to pass -- that good which Jehovah doth kindly with  us -- it we have done kindly to thee.' 
04O 010:033 And they journey from the mount of Jehovah a journey of  three days; and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is  journeying before them the journey of three days, to spy out  for them a resting-place; 
04O 010:034 and the cloud of Jehovah [is] on them by day, in their  journeying from the camp. 
04O 010:035 And it cometh to pass in the journeying of the ark, that  Moses saith, `Rise, O Jehovah, and Thine enemies are scattered,  and those hating Thee flee from Thy presence.' 
04O 010:036 And in its resting he saith, `Return, O Jehovah, [to] the  myriads, the thousands of Israel.' 
04O 011:001 And the people is evil, as those sighing habitually in the  ears of Jehovah, and Jehovah heareth, and His anger burneth,  and the fire of Jehovah burneth among them, and consumeth in  the extremity of the camp. 
04O 011:002 And the people cry unto Moses, and Moses prayeth unto  Jehovah, and the fire is quenched; 
04O 011:003 and he calleth the name of that place Taberah, for the fire  of Jehovah hath `burned' among them. 
04O 011:004 And the rabble who [are] in its midst have lusted greatly,  and the sons of Israel also turn back and weep, and say, `Who  doth give us flesh? 
04O 011:005 We have remembered the fish which we do eat in Egypt for  nought, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the  onions, and the garlick; 
04O 011:006 and now our soul [is] dry, there is not anything, save the  manna, before our eyes.' 
04O 011:007 And the manna is as coriander seed, and its aspect as the  aspect of bdolach; 
04O 011:008 the people have turned aside and gathered [it], and ground  [it] with millstones, or beat [it] in a mortar, and boiled  [it] in a pan, and made it cakes, and its taste hath been as  the taste of the moisture of oil. 
04O 011:009 And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the  manna descendeth upon it. 
04O 011:010 And Moses heareth the people weeping by its families, each  at the opening of his tent, and the anger of Jehovah burneth  exceedingly, and in the eyes of Moses [it is] evil. 
04O 011:011 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Why hast Thou done evil to  Thy servant? and why have I not found grace in Thine eyes -- to  put the burden of all this people upon me? 
04O 011:012 I -- have I conceived all this people? I -- have I  begotten it, that Thou sayest unto me, Carry it in thy bosom as  the nursing father beareth the suckling, unto the ground which  Thou hast sworn to its fathers? 
04O 011:013 Whence have I flesh to give to all this people? for they  weep unto me, saying, Give to us flesh, and we eat. 
04O 011:014 I am not able -- I alone -- to bear all this people, for  [it is] too heavy for me; 
04O 011:015 and if thus Thou art doing to me -- slay me, I pray Thee;  slay, if I have found grace in thine eyes, and let me not look  on mine affliction.' 
04O 011:016 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Gather to Me seventy men of  the elders of Israel, whom thou hast known that they are elders  of the people, and its authorities; and thou hast taken them  unto the tent of meeting, and they have stationed themselves  there with thee, 
04O 011:017 and I have come down and spoken with thee there, and have  kept back of the Spirit which [is] upon thee, and have put on  them, and they have borne with thee some of the burden of the  people, and thou dost not bear [it] thyself alone. 
04O 011:018 `And unto the people thou dost say, Sanctify yourselves  for to-morrow, and ye have eaten flesh (for ye have wept in the  ears of Jehovah, saying, Who doth give us flesh? for we [had]  good in Egypt) -- and Jehovah hath given to you flesh, and ye  have eaten. 
04O 011:019 Ye do not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor  ten days, nor twenty days; -- 
04O 011:020 unto a month of days, till that it come out from your  nostrils, and it hath become to you an abomination; because  that ye have loathed Jehovah, who [is] in your midst, and weep  before Him, saying, Why is this? -- we have come out of Egypt!' 
04O 011:021 And Moses saith, `Six hundred thousand footmen [are] the  people in whose midst I [am]; and Thou, Thou hast said, Flesh I  give to them, and they have eaten, a month of days! 
04O 011:022 Is flock and herd slaughtered for them, that one hath  found for them? -- are all the fishes of the sea gathered for  them -- that one hath found for them?' 
04O 011:023 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Is the hand of Jehovah  become short? now thou dost see whether My word meeteth thee or  not.' 
04O 011:024 And Moses goeth out, and speaketh unto the people the  words of Jehovah, and gathereth seventy men of the elders of  the people, and causeth them to stand round about the tent, 
04O 011:025 and Jehovah cometh down in the cloud, and speaketh unto  him, and keepeth back of the Spirit which [is] on him, and  putteth on the seventy men of the elders; and it cometh to pass  at the resting of the Spirit on them, that they prophesy, and  do not cease. 
04O 011:026 And two of the men are left in the camp, the name of the  one [is] Eldad, and the name of the second Medad, and the  spirit resteth upon them, (and they are among those written,  and have not gone out to the tent), and they prophesy in the  camp; 
04O 011:027 and the young man runneth, and declareth to Moses, and  saith, `Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.' 
04O 011:028 And Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, [one] of his  young men, answereth and saith, `My lord Moses, restrain them.' 
04O 011:029 And Moses saith to him, `Art thou zealous for me? O that  all Jehovah's people were prophets! that Jehovah would put His  Spirit upon them!' 
04O 011:030 And Moses is gathered unto the camp, he and the elders of  Israel. 
04O 011:031 And a spirit hath journeyed from Jehovah, and cutteth off  quails from the sea, and leaveth by the camp, as a day's  journey here, and as a day's journey there, round about the  camp, and about two cubits, on the face of the land. 
04O 011:032 And the people rise all that day, and all the night, and  all the day after, and gather the quails -- he who hath least  hath gathered ten homers -- and they spread them out for  themselves round about the camp. 
04O 011:033 The flesh is yet between their teeth -- it is not yet cut  off -- and the anger of Jehovah hath burned among the people,  and Jehovah smiteth among the people -- a very great smiting; 
04O 011:034 and [one] calleth the name of that place  Kibroth-Hattaavah, for there they have buried the people who  lust. 
04O 011:035 From Kibroth-Hattaavah have the people journeyed to  Hazeroth, and they are in Hazeroth. 
04O 012:001 And Miriam speaketh -- Aaron also -- against Moses  concerning the circumstance of the Cushite woman whom he had  taken: for a Cushite woman he had taken; 
04O 012:002 and they say, `Only by Moses hath Jehovah spoken? also by  us hath he not spoken?' and Jehovah heareth. 
04O 012:003 And the man Moses [is] very humble, more than any of the  men who [are] on the face of the ground. 
04O 012:004 And Jehovah saith suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and  unto Miriam, `Come out ye three unto the tent of meeting;' and  they three come out. 
04O 012:005 And Jehovah cometh down in the pillar of the cloud, and  standeth at the opening of the tent, and calleth Aaron and  Miriam, and they come out both of them. 
04O 012:006 And He saith, `Hear, I pray you, My words: If your prophet  is of Jehovah -- in an appearance unto him I make Myself known;  in a dream I speak with him; 
04O 012:007 not so My servant Moses; in all My house he [is] stedfast; 
04O 012:008 mouth unto mouth I speak with him, and [by] an appearance,  and not in riddles; and the form of Jehovah he beholdeth  attentively; and wherefore have ye not been afraid to speak  against My servant -- against Moses?' 
04O 012:009 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against them, and He goeth  on, 
04O 012:010 and the cloud hath turned aside from off the tent, and lo,  Miriam [is] leprous as snow; and Aaron turneth unto Miriam, and  lo, leprous! 
04O 012:011 And Aaron saith unto Moses, `O, my lord, I pray thee, lay  not upon us sin [in] which we have been foolish, and [in] which  we have sinned; 
04O 012:012 let her not, I pray thee, be as [one] dead, when in his  coming out from the womb of his mother -- the half of his flesh  is consumed.' 
04O 012:013 And Moses crieth unto Jehovah, saying, `O God, I pray  Thee, give, I pray Thee, healing to her.' 
04O 012:014 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `And her father had but spat  in her face -- is she not ashamed seven days? she is shut out  seven days at the outside of the camp, and afterwards she is  gathered.' 
04O 012:015 And Miriam is shut out at the outside of the camp seven  days, and the people hath not journeyed till Miriam is  gathered; 
04O 012:016 and afterwards have the people journeyed from Hazeroth,  and they encamp in the wilderness of Paran. 
04O 013:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 013:002 `Send for thee men, and they spy the land of Canaan, which  I am giving to the sons of Israel; one man, one man for the  tribe of his fathers ye do send, every one a prince among  them.' 
04O 013:003 And Moses sendeth them from the wilderness of Paran by the  command of Jehovah; all of them [are] men, heads of the sons of  Israel they are, 
04O 013:004 and these their names: For the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son  of Zaccur. 
04O 013:005 For the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori. 
04O 013:006 For the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh. 
04O 013:007 For the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph. 
04O 013:008 For the tribe of Ephraim, Oshea, son of Nun. 
04O 013:009 For the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu. 
04O 013:010 For the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi. 
04O 013:011 For the tribe of Joseph, (for the tribe of Manasseh,)  Gaddi son of Susi. 
04O 013:012 For the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli. 
04O 013:013 For the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael. 
04O 013:014 For the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vopshi. 
04O 013:015 For the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi. 
04O 013:016 These [are] the names of the men whom Moses hath sent to  spy the land; and Moses calleth Hoshea son of Nun, Jehoshua. 
04O 013:017 And Moses sendeth them to spy the land of Canaan, and  saith unto them, `Go ye up this [way] into the south, and ye  have gone up the mountain, 
04O 013:018 and have seen the land what it [is], and the people which  is dwelling on it, whether it [is] strong or feeble; whether it  [is] few or many; 
04O 013:019 and what the land [is] in which it is dwelling, whether it  [is] good or bad; and what [are] the cities in which it is  dwelling, whether in camps or in fortresses; 
04O 013:020 And what the land [is], whether it [is] fat or lean;  whether there is wood in it or not; and ye have strengthened  yourselves, and have taken of the fruit of the land;' and the  days [are] days of the first-fruits of grapes. 
04O 013:021 And they go up and spy the land, from the wilderness of  Zin unto Rehob at the going in to Hamath; 
04O 013:022 and they go up by the south, and come in unto Hebron, and  there [are] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, children of Anak (and  Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt), 
04O 013:023 and they come in unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down  thence a branch and one cluster of grapes, and they bear it on  a staff by two, also [some] of the pomegranates, and of the  figs. 
04O 013:024 That place hath [one] called Brook of Eshcol, because of  the cluster which the sons of Israel cut from thence. 
04O 013:025 And they turn back from spying the land at the end of  forty days. 
04O 013:026 And they go and come in unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and  unto all the company of the sons of Israel, unto the wilderness  of Paran, to Kadesh; and they bring them and all the company  back word, and shew them the fruit of the land. 
04O 013:027 And they recount to him, and say, `We came in unto the  land whither thou hast sent us, and also it [is] flowing with  milk and honey -- and this [is] its fruit; 
04O 013:028 only, surely the people which is dwelling in the land [is]  strong; and the cities are fenced, very great; and also  children of Anak we have seen there. 
04O 013:029 Amalek is dwelling in the land of the south, and the  Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite is dwelling in the  hill country, and the Canaanite is dwelling by the sea, and by  the side of the Jordan.' 
04O 013:030 And Caleb stilleth the people concerning Moses, and saith,  `Let us certainly go up -- and we have possessed it; for we are  thoroughly able for it.' 
04O 013:031 And the men who have gone up with him said, `We are not  able to go up against the people, for it [is] stronger than  we;' 
04O 013:032 and they bring out an evil account of the land which they  have spied unto the sons of Israel, saying, `The land into  which we passed over to spy it, is a land eating up its  inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are]  men of stature; 
04O 013:033 and there we saw the Nephilim, sons of Anak, of the  Nephilim; and we are in our own eyes as grasshoppers; and so we  were in their eyes.' 
04O 014:001 And all the company lifteth up and give forth their voice,  and the people weep during that night; 
04O 014:002 and all the sons of Israel murmur against Moses, and  against Aaron, and all the company say unto them, `O that we  had died in the land of Egypt, or in this wilderness, O that we  had died! 
04O 014:003 and why is Jehovah bringing us in unto this land to fall by  the sword? our wives and our infants are become a prey; is it  not good for us to turn back to Egypt?' 
04O 014:004 And they say one unto another, `Let us appoint a head, and  turn back to Egypt.' 
04O 014:005 And Moses falleth -- Aaron also -- on their faces, before  all the assembly of the company of the sons of Israel. 
04O 014:006 And Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, of those  spying the land, have rent their garments, 
04O 014:007 and they speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel,  saying, `The land into which we have passed over to spy it,  [is] a very very good land; 
04O 014:008 if Jehovah hath delighted in us, then He hath brought us in  unto this land, and hath given it to us, a land which is  flowing with milk and honey; 
04O 014:009 only, against Jehovah rebel not ye: and ye, fear not ye the  people of the land, for our bread they [are]; their defence  hath turned aside from off them, and Jehovah [is] with us; fear  them not.' 
04O 014:010 And all the company say to stone them with stones, and the  honour of Jehovah hath appeared in the tent of meeting unto all  the sons of Israel. 
04O 014:011 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Until when doth this people  despise Me? and until when do they not believe in Me, for all  the signs which I have done in its midst? 
04O 014:012 I smite it with pestilence, and dispossess it, and make  thee become a nation greater and mightier than it.' 
04O 014:013 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, `Then have the Egyptians  heard! for Thou hast brought up with Thy power this people out  of their midst, 
04O 014:014 and they have said [it] unto the inhabitant of this land,  they have heard that Thou, Jehovah, [art] in the midst of this  people, that eye to eye Thou art seen -- O Jehovah, and Thy  cloud is standing over them, -- and in a pillar of cloud Thou  art going before them by day, and in a pillar of fire by night. 
04O 014:015 `And Thou hast put to death this people as one man, and  the nations who have heard Thy fame have spoken, saying, 
04O 014:016 From Jehovah's want of ability to bring in this people  unto the land which He hath sworn to them -- He doth slaughter  them in the wilderness. 
04O 014:017 `And now, let, I pray Thee, the power of my Lord be great,  as Thou hast spoken, saying: 
04O 014:018 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and of great kindness; bearing  away iniquity and transgression, and not entirely acquitting,  charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on a third [generation],  and on a fourth; -- 
04O 014:019 forgive, I pray Thee, the iniquity of this people,  according to the greatness of Thy kindness, and as Thou hast  borne with this people from Egypt, even until now.' 
04O 014:020 And Jehovah saith, `I have forgiven, according to thy  word; 
04O 014:021 and yet, I live -- and it is filled -- the whole earth --  [with] the honour of Jehovah; 
04O 014:022 for all the men who are seeing My honour, and My signs,  which I have done in Egypt, and in the wilderness, and try Me  these ten times, and have not hearkened to My voice -- 
04O 014:023 they see not the land which I have sworn to their fathers,  yea, none of those despising Me see it; 
04O 014:024 and My servant Caleb, because there hath been another  spirit with him, and he is fully after Me -- I have brought him  in unto the land whither he hath entered, and his seed doth  possess it. 
04O 014:025 `And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the  valley; to-morrow turn ye and journey for yourselves into the  wilderness -- the way of the Red Sea.' 
04O 014:026 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 014:027 `Until when hath this evil company that which they are  murmuring against Me? the murmurings of the sons of Israel,  which they are murmuring against Me, I have heard; 
04O 014:028 say unto them, I live -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- if,  as ye have spoken in Mine ears -- so I do not to you; 
04O 014:029 in this wilderness do your carcases fall, even all your  numbered ones, to all your number, from a son of twenty years  and upward, who have murmured against Me; 
04O 014:030 ye -- ye come not in unto the land which I have lifted up  My hand to cause you to tabernacle in it, except Caleb son of  Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun. 
04O 014:031 `As to your infants -- of whom ye have said, A spoil they  are become -- I have even brought them in, and they have known  the land which ye have kicked against; 
04O 014:032 as to you -- your carcases do fall in this wilderness, 
04O 014:033 and your sons are evil in the wilderness forty years, and  have borne your whoredoms till your carcases are consumed in  the wilderness; 
04O 014:034 by the number of the days [in] which ye spied the land,  forty days, -- a day for a year, a day for a year -- ye do bear  your iniquities, forty years, and ye have known my breaking  off; 
04O 014:035 I [am] Jehovah, I have spoken; if I do not this to all  this evil company who are meeting against me; -- in this  wilderness they are consumed, and there they die.' 
04O 014:036 And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they  turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by  bringing out an evil account concerning the land, 
04O 014:037 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die  by the plague before Jehovah; 
04O 014:038 and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have  lived of those men who go to spy out the land. 
04O 014:039 And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of  Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly, 
04O 014:040 and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top  of the mountain, saying, `Here we [are], and we have come up  unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have  sinned.' 
04O 014:041 And Moses saith, `Why [is] this? -- ye are transgressing  the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper; 
04O 014:042 go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are  not smitten before your enemies; 
04O 014:043 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before  you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have  turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.' 
04O 014:044 And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain,  and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not  departed out of the midst of the camp. 
04O 014:045 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in  that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down --  unto Hormah. 
04O 015:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 015:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When ye come in unto the land of your dwellings, which I  am giving to you, 
04O 015:003 then ye have prepared a fire-offering to Jehovah, a  burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, at separating a vow or  free-will-offering, or in your appointed things, to make a  sweet fragrance to Jehovah, out of the herd, or out of the  flock. 
04O 015:004 `And he who is bringing near his offering to Jehovah hath  brought near a present of flour, a tenth deal, mixed with a  fourth of the hin of oil; 
04O 015:005 and wine for a libation, a fourth of the hin thou dost  prepare for the burnt-offering or for a sacrifice, for the one  lamb; 
04O 015:006 or for a ram thou dost prepare a present of flour,  two-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a third of the hin; 
04O 015:007 and wine for a libation, a third part of the hin, thou dost  bring near -- a sweet fragrance to Jehovah. 
04O 015:008 `And when thou makest a son of the herd a burnt-offering or  a sacrifice, at separating a vow or peace-offerings to Jehovah, 
04O 015:009 then he hath brought near for the son of the herd a present  of flour, three-tenth deals, mixed with oil, a half of the hin; 
04O 015:010 and wine thou bringest near for a libation, a half of the  hin -- a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah; 
04O 015:011 thus it is done for the one ox, or for the one ram, or for  a lamb of the sheep or of the goats. 
04O 015:012 `According to the number that ye prepare, so ye do to  each, according to their number; 
04O 015:013 every native doth thus with these, at bringing near a  fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah; 
04O 015:014 and when a sojourner sojourneth with you, or whoso [is] in  your midst to your generations, and he hath made a  fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah, as ye do so he  doth. 
04O 015:015 `One statute is for you of the congregation and for the  sojourner who is sojourning, a statute age-during to your  generations: as ye [are] so is the sojourner before Jehovah; 
04O 015:016 one law and one ordinance is to you and to the sojourner  who is sojourning with you.' 
04O 015:017 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 015:018 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, In your coming in unto the land whither I am bringing you  in, 
04O 015:019 then it hath been, in your eating of the bread of the  land, ye heave up a heave-offering to Jehovah; 
04O 015:020 the beginning of your dough a cake ye heave up -- a  heave-offering; as the heave-offering of a threshing-floor, so  ye do heave it. 
04O 015:021 Of the beginning of your dough ye do give to Jehovah a  heave-offering -- to your generations. 
04O 015:022 `And when ye err, and do not all these commands which  Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, 
04O 015:023 the whole that Jehovah hath charged upon you by the hand  of Moses, from the day that Jehovah hath commanded, and  henceforth, to your generations, 
04O 015:024 then it hath been, if from the eyes of the company it hath  been done in ignorance, that all the company have prepared one  bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for sweet  fragrance to Jehovah, and its present, and its libation,  according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a  sin-offering. 
04O 015:025 `And the priest hath made atonement for all the company of  the sons of Israel, and it hath been forgiven them, for it [is]  ignorance, and they -- they have brought in their offering, a  fire-offering to Jehovah, even their sin-offering before  Jehovah for their ignorance; 
04O 015:026 and it hath been forgiven to all the company of the sons  of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their  midst; for to all the company [it is done] in ignorance. 
04O 015:027 `And if one person sin in ignorance, then he hath brought  near a she-goat, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering; 
04O 015:028 and the priest hath made atonement for the person who is  erring, in his sinning in ignorance before Jehovah, by making  atonement for him, and it hath been forgiven him; 
04O 015:029 for the native among the sons of Israel, and for the  sojourner who is sojourning in their midst -- one law is to  you, for him who is doing [anything] through ignorance. 
04O 015:030 `And the person who doth [aught] with a high hand -- of  the native or of the sojourner -- Jehovah he is reviling, and  that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people; 
04O 015:031 because the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command  hath broken -- that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity  [is] on him.' 
04O 015:032 And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they  find a man gathering wood on the sabbath-day, 
04O 015:033 and those finding him gathering wood bring him near unto  Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto all the company, 
04O 015:034 and they place him in ward, for it [is] not explained what  is [to be] done to him. 
04O 015:035 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `The man is certainly put to  death, all the company stoning him with stones, at the outside  of the camp.' 
04O 015:036 And all the company bring him out unto the outside of the  camp, and stone him with stones, and he dieth, as Jehovah hath  commanded Moses. 
04O 015:037 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 015:038 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, and they have made for themselves fringes on the skirts  of their garments, to their generations, and they have put on  the fringe of the skirt a ribbon of blue, 
04O 015:039 and it hath been to you for a fringe, and ye have seen it,  and have remembered all the commands of Jehovah, and have done  them, and ye search not after your heart, and after your eyes,  after which ye are going a-whoring; 
04O 015:040 so that ye remember and have done all My commands, and ye  have been holy to your God; 
04O 015:041 I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from  the land of Egypt to become your God; I, Jehovah, [am] your  God.' 
04O 016:001 And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, taketh  both Dathan and Abiram sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth,  sons of Reuben, 
04O 016:002 and they rise up before Moses, with men of the sons of  Israel, two hundred and fifty, princes of the company, called  of the convention, men of name, 
04O 016:003 and they are assembled against Moses and against Aaron, and  say unto them, `Enough of you! for all the company -- all of  them [are] holy, and in their midst [is] Jehovah; and wherefore  do ye lift yourselves up above the assembly of Jehovah?' 
04O 016:004 And Moses heareth, and falleth on his face, 
04O 016:005 and he speaketh unto Korah, and unto all his company,  saying, `Morning! -- and Jehovah is knowing those who are his,  and him who is holy, and hath brought near unto Him; even him  whom He doth fix on He bringeth near unto Him. 
04O 016:006 This do: take to yourselves censers, Korah, and all his  company, 
04O 016:007 and put in them fire, and put on them perfume, before  Jehovah to-morrow, and it hath been, the man whom Jehovah  chooseth, he [is] the holy one; -- enough of you, sons of  Levi.' 
04O 016:008 And Moses saith unto Korah, `Hear ye, I pray you, sons of  Levi; 
04O 016:009 is it little to you that the God of Israel hath separated  you from the company of Israel to bring you near unto Himself,  to do the service of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand  before the company to serve them? -- 
04O 016:010 yea, He doth bring thee near, and all thy brethren the  sons of Levi with thee -- and ye have sought also the  priesthood! 
04O 016:011 Therefore, thou and all thy company who are met [are]  against Jehovah; and Aaron, what [is] he, that ye murmur  against him?' 
04O 016:012 And Moses sendeth to call for Dathan and for Abiram sons  of Eliab, and they say, `We do not come up; 
04O 016:013 is it little that thou hast brought us up out of a land  flowing with milk and honey to put us to death in a wilderness  that thou also certainly makest thyself prince over us? 
04O 016:014 Yea, unto a land flowing with milk and honey thou hast not  brought us in, nor dost thou give to us an inheritance of field  and vineyard; the eyes of these men dost thou pick out? we do  not come up.' 
04O 016:015 And it is very displeasing to Moses, and he saith unto  Jehovah, `Turn not Thou unto their present; not one ass from  them have I taken, nor have I afflicted one of them.' 
04O 016:016 And Moses saith unto Korah, `Thou and all thy company, be  ye before Jehovah, thou, and they, and Aaron, to-morrow; 
04O 016:017 and take ye each his censer, and ye have put on them  perfume, and brought near before Jehovah, each his censer, two  hundred and fifty censers; and thou and Aaron, each his  censer.' 
04O 016:018 And they take each his censer, and put on them fire, and  lay on them perfume, and they stand at the opening of the tent  of meeting, with Moses and Aaron. 
04O 016:019 And Korah assembleth against them all the company unto the  opening of the tent of meeting, and the honour of Jehovah is  seen by all the company. 
04O 016:020 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 016:021 `Be ye separated from the midst of this company, and I  consume them in a moment;' 
04O 016:022 and they fall on their faces, and say, `God, God of the  spirits of all flesh -- the one man sinneth, and against all  the company Thou art wroth!' 
04O 016:023 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 016:024 `Speak unto the company, saying, Go ye up from round about  the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.' 
04O 016:025 And Moses riseth, and goeth unto Dathan and Abiram, and  the elders of Israel go after him, 
04O 016:026 and he speaketh unto the company, saying, `Turn aside, I  pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and come not  against anything that they have, lest ye be consumed in all  their sins.' 
04O 016:027 And they go up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan and  Abiram, from round about, and Dathan, and Abiram have come out,  standing at the opening of their tents, and their wives, and  their sons, and their infants. 
04O 016:028 And Moses saith, `By this ye do know that Jehovah hath  sent me to do all these works, that [they are] not from my own  heart; 
04O 016:029 if according to the death of all men these die -- or the  charge of all men is charged upon them -- Jehovah hath not sent  me; 
04O 016:030 and if a strange thing Jehovah do, and the ground hath  opened her mouth and swallowed them, and all that they have,  and they have gone down alive to Sheol -- then ye have known  that these men have despised Jehovah.' 
04O 016:031 And it cometh to pass at his finishing speaking all these  words, that the ground which [is] under them cleaveth, 
04O 016:032 and the earth openeth her mouth, and swalloweth them, and  their houses, and all the men who [are] for Korah, and all the  goods, 
04O 016:033 and they go down, they, and all that they have, alive to  Sheol, and the earth closeth over them, and they perish from  the midst of the assembly; 
04O 016:034 and all Israel who [are] round about them have fled at  their voice, for they said, `Lest the earth swallow us;' 
04O 016:035 and fire hath come out from Jehovah, and consumeth the two  hundred and fifty men bringing near the perfume. 
04O 016:036 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 016:037 `Say unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he lifteth  up the censers from the midst of the burning, and the fire  scatter thou yonder, for they have been hallowed, 
04O 016:038 [even] the censers of these sinners against their own  souls; and they have made them spread-out plates, a covering for  the altar, for they have brought them near before Jehovah, and  they are hallowed; and they are become a sign to the sons of  Israel.' 
04O 016:039 And Eleazar the priest taketh the brazen censers which  they who are burnt had brought near, and they spread them out,  a covering for the altar -- 
04O 016:040 a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a stranger who  is not of the seed of Aaron doth not draw near to make a  perfume before Jehovah, and is not as Korah, and as his  company, -- as Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses to him. 
04O 016:041 And all the company of the sons of Israel murmur, on the  morrow, against Moses and against Aaron, saying, `Ye -- ye have  put to death the people of Jehovah.' 
04O 016:042 And it cometh to pass, in the company being assembled  against Moses and against Aaron, that they turn towards the  tent of meeting, and lo, the cloud hath covered it, and the  honour of Jehovah is seen; 
04O 016:043 and Moses cometh -- Aaron also -- unto the front of the  tent of meeting. 
04O 016:044 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 016:045 `Get you up from the midst of this company, and I consume  them in a moment;' and they fall on their faces, 
04O 016:046 and Moses saith unto Aaron, `Take the censer, and put on  it fire from off the altar, and place perfume, and go, hasten  unto the company, and make atonement for them, for the wrath  hath gone out from the presence of Jehovah -- the plague hath  begun.' 
04O 016:047 And Aaron taketh as Moses hath spoken, and runneth unto  the midst of the assembly, and lo, the plague hath begun among  the people; and he giveth the perfume, and maketh atonement for  the people, 
04O 016:048 and standeth between the dead and the living, and the  plague is restrained; 
04O 016:049 and those who die by the plague are fourteen thousand and  seven hundred, apart from those who die for the matter of  Korah; 
04O 016:050 and Aaron turneth back unto Moses, unto the opening of the  tent of meeting, and the plague hath been restrained. 
04O 017:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 017:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and take from them each a  rod, for a father's house, from all their princes, for the  house of their fathers, twelve rods; the name of each thou dost  write on his rod, 
04O 017:003 and Aaron's name thou dost write on the tribe of Levi; for  one rod [is] for the head of their fathers' house: 
04O 017:004 and thou hast placed them in the tent of meeting, before  the testimony, where I meet with you. 
04O 017:005 `And it hath come to pass, the man's rod on whom I fix doth  flourish, and I have caused to cease from off me the murmurings  of the sons of Israel, which they are murmuring against you.' 
04O 017:006 And Moses speaketh unto the sons of Israel, and all their  princes give unto him one rod for a prince, one rod for a  prince, for their fathers' house, twelve rods, and the rod of  Aaron [is] in the midst of their rods; 
04O 017:007 and Moses placeth the rods before Jehovah, in the tent of  the testimony. 
04O 017:008 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Moses goeth in  unto the tent of the testimony, and lo, the rod of Aaron hath  flourished for the house of Levi, and is bringing out  flourishing, and doth blossom blossoms, and doth produce  almonds; 
04O 017:009 and Moses bringeth out all the rods from before Jehovah,  unto all the sons of Israel, and they look, and take each his  rod. 
04O 017:010 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Put back the rod of Aaron,  before the testimony, for a charge, for a sign to the sons of  rebellion, and thou dost remove their murmurings from off me,  and they do not die;' 
04O 017:011 and Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him; so he hath  done. 
04O 017:012 And the sons of Israel speak unto Moses, saying, `Lo, we  have expired; we have perished; we have all of us perished; 
04O 017:013 any who is at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of  Jehovah dieth; have we not been consumed -- to expire?' 
04O 018:001 And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `Thou, and thy sons, and the  house of thy father with thee, do bear the iniquity of the  sanctuary; and thou, and thy sons with thee, do bear the  iniquity of your priesthood; 
04O 018:002 and also thy brethren, the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy  father, bring near with thee, and they are joined unto thee,  and serve thee, even thou and thy sons with thee, before the  tent of the testimony. 
04O 018:003 `And they have kept thy charge, and the charge of all the  tent; only, unto the vessels of the sanctuary and unto the  altar they do not come near, and they die not, either they or  you; 
04O 018:004 and they have been joined unto thee, and have kept the  charge of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent;  and a stranger doth not come near unto you; 
04O 018:005 and ye have kept the charge of the sanctuary, and the  charge of the altar, and there is no more wrath against the  sons of Israel. 
04O 018:006 `And I, lo, I have taken your brethren the Levites from the  midst of the sons of Israel; to you a gift they are given by  Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting; 
04O 018:007 and thou, and thy sons with thee, do keep your priesthood,  for everything of the altar, and within the vail, and ye have  served; a service of gift I make your priesthood; and the  stranger who is coming near is put to death.' 
04O 018:008 And Jehovah speaketh unto Aaron: `And I, lo, I have given  to thee the charge of My heave-offerings, of all the hallowed  things of the sons of Israel -- to thee I have given them for  the anointing, and to thy sons, by a statute age-during. 
04O 018:009 This is thine of the most holy things, from the fire: all  their offering, to all their present, and to all their  sin-offering, and to all their guilt-offering, which they give  back to Me, is most holy to thee, and to thy sons; 
04O 018:010 in the holy of holies thou dost eat it; every male doth  eat it; holy it is to thee. 
04O 018:011 `And this [is] thine: the heave-offering of their gift, to  all the wave-offerings of the sons of Israel, to thee I have  given them, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by  a statute age-during; every clean one in thy house doth eat it; 
04O 018:012 all the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine,  and wheat -- their first-[fruits] which they give to Jehovah --  to thee I have given them. 
04O 018:013 `The first-fruits of all that [is] in their land, which  they bring in to Jehovah, are thine; every clean one in thy  house doth eat it; 
04O 018:014 every devoted thing in Israel is thine, 
04O 018:015 every one opening a womb of all flesh which they bring  near to Jehovah, among man and among beast, is thine; only,  thou dost certainly ransom the first-born of man, and the  firstling of the unclean beast thou dost ransom. 
04O 018:016 `And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, thou dost  ransom with thy valuation, of silver, five shekels, by the  shekel of the sanctuary, twenty gerahs it [is]. 
04O 018:017 `Only, the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a  sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou dost not ransom, holy  they [are]: their blood thou dost sprinkle on the altar, and of  their fat thou makest perfume, a fire-offering of sweet  fragrance to Jehovah, 
04O 018:018 and their flesh is thine, as the breast of the  wave-offering, and as the right leg, it is thine; 
04O 018:019 all the heave-offerings of the holy things which the sons  of Israel lift up to Jehovah I have given to thee and to thy  sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute age-during,  a covenant of salt, age-during it [is] before Jehovah, to thee  and to thy seed with thee.' 
04O 018:020 And Jehovah saith unto Aaron, `In their land thou dost not  inherit, and a portion thou hast not in their midst: I [am] thy  portion, and thine inheritance in the midst of the sons of  Israel; 
04O 018:021 and to the sons of Levi, lo, I have given all the tenth in  Israel for inheritance in exchange for their service which they  are serving -- the service of the tent of meeting. 
04O 018:022 `And the sons of Israel come no more near unto the tent of  meeting, to bear sin, to die, 
04O 018:023 and the Levites have done the service of the tent of  meeting, and they -- they bear their iniquity; a statute  age-during to your generations, that in the midst of the sons  of Israel they have no inheritance; 
04O 018:024 but the tithe of the sons of Israel which they lift up to  Jehovah, a heave-offering, I have given to the Levites for  inheritance; therefore I have said of them, In the midst of the  sons of Israel they have no inheritance.' 
04O 018:025 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 018:026 `And unto the Levites thou dost speak; and thou hast said  unto them, When ye take from the sons of Israel the tithe which  I have given to you from them, for your inheritance, then ye  have lifted up from it the heave-offering of Jehovah, a tithe  of the tithe; 
04O 018:027 and your heave-offering hath been reckoned to you as corn  from the threshing-floor, and as fulness from the wine-vat; 
04O 018:028 so ye do lift up -- ye also -- the heave-offering of  Jehovah from all your tithes which ye receive from the sons of  Israel; and ye have given from it the heave-offering of Jehovah  to Aaron the priest; 
04O 018:029 out of all your gifts ye do lift up the whole  heave-offering of Jehovah; out of all its fat, -- its hallowed  part -- out of it. 
04O 018:030 `And thou hast said unto them, In your lifting up its fat  out of it, then it hath been reckoned to the Levites, as  increase of a threshing-floor, and as increase of a wine-vat; 
04O 018:031 and ye have eaten it in every place, ye and your  households, for it [is] your hire in exchange for your service  in the tent of meeting; 
04O 018:032 and ye bear no sin for it, in your lifting up its fat out  of it, and the holy things of the sons of Israel ye do not  pollute, and ye die not.' 
04O 019:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying, 
04O 019:002 `This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath  commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they  bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no  blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up; 
04O 019:003 and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath  brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath  slaughtered it before him. 
04O 019:004 `And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his  finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent  of meeting of her blood seven times; 
04O 019:005 and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and  her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn; 
04O 019:006 and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and  scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the  cow; 
04O 019:007 and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed  his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the  camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening; 
04O 019:008 and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water,  and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the  evening. 
04O 019:009 `And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and  hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and  it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge  for waters of separation -- it [is] a [cleansing]; 
04O 019:010 and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath  washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it  hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is  sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during. 
04O 019:011 `He who is coming against the dead body of any man -- is  unclean seven days; 
04O 019:012 he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on  the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on  the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean. 
04O 019:013 Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body  of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself -- the tabernacle  of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off  from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him;  he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him. 
04O 019:014 `This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one  who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent,  is unclean seven days; 
04O 019:015 and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread  upon it is unclean. 
04O 019:016 `And every one who cometh, on the face of the field,  against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against  a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days; 
04O 019:017 and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of  the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running  water unto a vessel; 
04O 019:018 and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it]  in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the  vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who  is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against  the dead, or against a grave. 
04O 019:019 `And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the  third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the  seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed  with water, and hath been clean in the evening. 
04O 019:020 `And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself,  even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the  assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water  of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean. 
04O 019:021 `And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that  he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his  garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation  is unclean till the evening, 
04O 019:022 and all against which the unclean person cometh is  unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean  till the evening.' 
04O 020:001 And the sons of Israel come in, -- all the company -- to  the wilderness of Zin, in the first month, and the people abide  in Kadesh, and Miriam dieth there, and is buried there. 
04O 020:002 And there hath been no water for the company, and they are  assembled against Moses, and against Aaron, 
04O 020:003 and the people strive with Moses, and speak, saying, `And  oh that we had expired when our brethren expired before  Jehovah! 
04O 020:004 and why have ye brought in the assembly of Jehovah unto  this wilderness to die there, we and our beasts? 
04O 020:005 and why hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to bring us in  unto this evil place? no place of seed, and fig, and vine, and  pomegranate; and water there is none to drink. 
04O 020:006 And Moses and Aaron go in from the presence of the assembly  unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and fall on their  faces, and the honour of Jehovah is seen by them. 
04O 020:007 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 020:008 `Take the rod, and assemble the company, thou and Aaron thy  brother; and ye have spoken unto the rock before their eyes,  and it hath given its water, and thou hast brought out to them  water from the rock, and hast watered the company, and their  beasts.' 
04O 020:009 And Moses taketh the rod from before Jehovah, as He hath  commanded him, 
04O 020:010 and Moses and Aaron assemble the assembly unto the front  of the rock, and he saith to them, `Hear, I pray you, O rebels,  from this rock do we bring out to you water?' 
04O 020:011 and Moses lifteth up his hand, and smiteth the rock with  his rod twice; and much water cometh out, and the company  drink, also their beasts. 
04O 020:012 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, and unto Aaron, `Because ye  have not believed in Me to sanctify Me before the eyes of the  sons of Israel, therefore ye do not bring in this assembly unto  the land which I have given to them.' 
04O 020:013 These [are] waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel  have `striven' with Jehovah, and He is sanctified upon them. 
04O 020:014 And Moses sendeth messengers from Kadesh unto the king of  Edom, `Thus said thy brother Israel, Thou -- thou hast known  all the travail which hath found us; 
04O 020:015 that our fathers go down to Egypt, and we dwell in Egypt  many days, and the Egyptians do evil to us and to our fathers; 
04O 020:016 and we cry unto Jehovah, and He heareth our voice, and  sendeth a messenger, and is bringing us out of Egypt; and lo,  we [are] in Kadesh, a city [in] the extremity of thy border. 
04O 020:017 Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land; we pass  not over through a field, or through a vineyard, nor do we  drink waters of a well; the way of the king we go, we turn not  aside -- right or left -- till that we pass over thy border.' 
04O 020:018 And Edom saith unto him, `Thou dost not pass over through  me, lest with sword I come out to meet thee.' 
04O 020:019 And the sons of Israel say unto him, `In the highway we  go, and if of thy waters we drink -- I and my cattle -- then I  have given their price; only (it is nothing) on my feet I pass  over.' 
04O 020:020 And he saith, `Thou dost not pass over;' and Edom cometh  out to meet him with much people, and with a strong hand; 
04O 020:021 and Edom refuseth to suffer Israel to pass over through  his border, and Israel turneth aside from off him. 
04O 020:022 And the sons of Israel, the whole company, journey from  Kadesh, and come in unto mount Hor, 
04O 020:023 and Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron in mount  Hor, on the border of the land of Edom, saying, 
04O 020:024 `Aaron is gathered unto his people, for he doth not go in  unto the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because  that ye provoked My mouth at the waters of Meribah. 
04O 020:025 `Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and cause them to go up  mount Hor, 
04O 020:026 and strip Aaron of his garments, and thou hast clothed  [with] them Eleazar his son, and Aaron is gathered, and doth  die there.' 
04O 020:027 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded, and they go up  unto mount Hor before the eyes of all the company, 
04O 020:028 and Moses strippeth Aaron of his garments, and clotheth  with them Eleazar his son, and Aaron dieth there on the top of  the mount; and Moses cometh down -- Eleazar also -- from the  mount, 
04O 020:029 and all the company see that Aaron hath expired, and they  bewail Aaron thirty days -- all the house of Israel. 
04O 021:001 And the Canaanite -- king Arad -- dwelling in the south,  heareth that Israel hath come the way of the Atharim, and he  fighteth against Israel, and taketh [some] of them captive. 
04O 021:002 And Israel voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, `If Thou  dost certainly give this people into my hand, then I have  devoted their cities;' 
04O 021:003 and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Israel, and giveth  up the Canaanite, and he devoteth them and their cities, and  calleth the name of the place Hormah. 
04O 021:004 And they journey from mount Hor, the way of the Red Sea, to  compass the land of Edom, and the soul of the people is short  in the way, 
04O 021:005 and the people speak against God, and against Moses, `Why  hast thou brought us up out of Egypt to die in a wilderness?  for there is no bread, and there is no water, and our soul hath  been weary of this light bread.' 
04O 021:006 And Jehovah sendeth among the people the burning serpents,  and they bite the people, and much people of Israel die; 
04O 021:007 and the people come in unto Moses and say, `We have sinned,  for we have spoken against Jehovah, and against thee; pray unto  Jehovah, and He doth turn aside from us the serpent;' and Moses  prayeth in behalf of the people. 
04O 021:008 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Make for thee a burning  [serpent], and set it on an ensign; and it hath been, every one  who is bitten and hath seen it -- he hath lived. 
04O 021:009 And Moses maketh a serpent of brass, and setteth it on the  ensign, and it hath been, if the serpent hath bitten any man,  and he hath looked expectingly unto the serpent of brass -- he  hath lived. 
04O 021:010 And the sons of Israel journey, and encamp in Oboth. 
04O 021:011 And they journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in  the wilderness that [is] on the front of Moab, at the rising of  the sun. 
04O 021:012 From thence they have journeyed, and encamp in the valley  of Zared. 
04O 021:013 From thence they have journeyed, and encamp beyond Arnon,  which [is] in the wilderness which is coming out of the border  of the Amorite, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab  and the Amorite; 
04O 021:014 therefore it is said in a book, `The wars of Jehovah,' --  `Waheb in Suphah, And the brooks of Arnon; 
04O 021:015 And the spring of the brooks, Which turned aside to the  dwelling of Ar, And hath leaned to the border of Moab.' 
04O 021:016 And from thence [they journeyed] to Beer; it [is] the well  [concerning] which Jehovah said to Moses, `Gather the people,  and I give to them -- water.' 
04O 021:017 Then singeth Israel this song, concerning the well -- they  have answered to it: 
04O 021:018 `A well -- digged it have princes, Prepared it have nobles  of the people, With the lawgiver, with their staves.' And from  the wilderness [they journeyed] to Mattanah, 
04O 021:019 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to  Bamoth, 
04O 021:020 and from Bamoth in the valley which [is] in the field of  Moab [to] the top of Pisgah, which hath looked on the front of  the wilderness. 
04O 021:021 And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon king of the  Amorite, saying, 
04O 021:022 `Let me pass through thy land, we do not turn aside into a  field, or into a vineyard, we do not drink waters of a well; in  the king's way we go, till that we pass over thy border.' 
04O 021:023 And Sihon hath not suffered Israel to pass through his  border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and cometh out to  meet Israel into the wilderness, and cometh in to Jahaz, and  fighteth against Israel. 
04O 021:024 And Israel smiteth him by the mouth of the sword, and  possesseth his land from Arnon unto Jabbok -- unto the sons of  Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [is] strong. 
04O 021:025 And Israel taketh all these cities, and Israel dwelleth in  all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in all its  villages; 
04O 021:026 for Heshbon is a city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he  hath fought against the former king of Moab, and taketh all his  land out of his hand, unto Arnon; 
04O 021:027 therefore those using similes say -- `Enter ye Heshbon,  Let the city of Sihon be built and ready, 
04O 021:028 For fire hath gone out from Heshbon, A flame from the city  of Sihon, It hath consumed Ar of Moab, Owners of the high  places of Arnon. 
04O 021:029 Wo to thee, O Moab, Thou hast perished, O people of  Chemosh, He hath given his sons who escape -- Also his  daughters -- Into captivity, to a king of the Amorite -- Sihon! 
04O 021:030 And we shoot them, Perished hath Heshbon unto Dibon, And  we make desolate unto Nophah, Which [is] unto Medeba.' 
04O 021:031 And Israel dwelleth in the land of the Amorite, 
04O 021:032 and Moses sendeth to spy out Jaazer, and they capture its  villages, and dispossess the Amorite who [is] there, 
04O 021:033 and turn and go up the way of Bashan, and Og king of  Bashan cometh out to meet them, he and all his people, to  battle, [at] Edrei. 
04O 021:034 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Fear him not, for into thy  hand I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and  thou hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the  Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon.' 
04O 021:035 And they smite him, and his sons, and all his people,  until he hath not left to him a remnant, and they possess his  land. 
04O 022:001 And the sons of Israel journey and encamp in the plains of  Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho. 
04O 022:002 And Balak son of Zippor seeth all that Israel hath done to  the Amorite, 
04O 022:003 and Moab is exceedingly afraid of the presence of the  people, for it [is] numerous; and Moab is vexed by the presence  of the sons of Israel, 
04O 022:004 and Moab saith unto the elders of Midian, `Now doth the  assembly lick up all that is round about us, as the ox licketh  up the green thing of the field.' And Balak son of Zippor [is]  king of Moab at that time, 
04O 022:005 and he sendeth messengers unto Balaam son of Beor, to  Pethor, which [is] by the River of the land of the sons of his  people, to call for him, saying, `Lo, a people hath come out of  Egypt; lo, it hath covered the eye of the land, and it is  abiding over-against me; 
04O 022:006 and now, come, I pray thee, curse for me this people, for  it [is] mightier than I; it may be I prevail -- we smite it --  and I cast it out from the land; for I have known -- that which  thou blessest is blessed, and that which thou cursest is  cursed.' 
04O 022:007 And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian go, and  divinations in their hand, and they come in unto Balaam, and  speak unto him the words of Balak, 
04O 022:008 and he saith unto them, `Lodge here to-night, and I have  brought you back word, as Jehovah speaketh unto me;' and the  princes of Moab abide with Balaam. 
04O 022:009 And God cometh in unto Balaam, and saith, `Who [are] these  men with thee?' 
04O 022:010 And Balaam saith unto God, `Balak, son of Zippor, king of  Moab, hath sent unto me: 
04O 022:011 Lo, the people that is coming out from Egypt and covereth  the eye of the land, -- now come, pierce it for me; it may be I  am able to fight against it, and have cast it out;' 
04O 022:012 and God saith unto Balaam, `Thou dost not go with them;  thou dost not curse the people; for it [is] blessed.' 
04O 022:013 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saith unto the  princes of Balak, `Go unto your land, for Jehovah is refusing  to suffer me to go with you;' 
04O 022:014 and the princes of Moab rise, and come in unto Balak, and  say, `Balaam is refusing to come with us.' 
04O 022:015 And Balak addeth yet to send princes, more numerous and  honoured than these, 
04O 022:016 and they come in unto Balaam, and say to him, `Thus said  Balak son of Zippor, Be not, I pray thee, withheld from coming  unto me, 
04O 022:017 for very greatly I honour thee, and all that thou sayest  unto me I do; and come, I pray thee, pierce for me this  people.' 
04O 022:018 And Balaam answereth and saith unto the servants of Balak,  `If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of silver  and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of Jehovah my  God, to do a little or a great thing; 
04O 022:019 and, now, abide, I pray you, in this [place], you also,  to-night; and I know what Jehovah is adding to speak with me.' 
04O 022:020 And God cometh in unto Balaam, by night, and saith to him,  `If to call for thee the men have come, rise, go with them, and  only the thing which I speak unto thee -- it thou dost do.' 
04O 022:021 And Balaam riseth in the morning, and saddleth his ass,  and goeth with the princes of Moab, 
04O 022:022 and the anger of God burneth because he is going, and a  messenger of Jehovah stationeth himself in the way for an  adversary to him, and he is riding on his ass, and two of his  servants [are] with him, 
04O 022:023 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah standing in the  way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the ass turneth aside  out of the way, and goeth into a field, and Balaam smiteth the  ass to turn it aside into the way. 
04O 022:024 And the messenger of Jehovah standeth in a narrow path of  the vineyards -- a wall on this [side] and a wall on that -- 
04O 022:025 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and is pressed  unto the wall, and presseth Balaam's foot unto the wall, and he  addeth to smite her; 
04O 022:026 and the messenger of Jehovah addeth to pass over, and  standeth in a strait place where there is no way to turn aside  -- right or left -- 
04O 022:027 and the ass seeth the messenger of Jehovah, and croucheth  under Balaam, and the anger of Balaam burneth, and he smiteth  the ass with a staff. 
04O 022:028 And Jehovah openeth the mouth of the ass, and she saith to  Balaam, `What have I done to thee that thou hast smitten me  these three times?' 
04O 022:029 and Balaam saith to the ass, `Because thou hast rolled  thyself against me; oh that there were a sword in my hand, for  now I had slain thee;' 
04O 022:030 and the ass saith unto Balaam, `Am not I thine ass, upon  which thou hast ridden since [I was] thine unto this day? have  I at all been accustomed to do to thee thus?' and he saith,  `No.' 
04O 022:031 And Jehovah uncovereth the eyes of Balaam, and he seeeth  the messenger of Jehovah standing in the way, and his drawn  sword in his hand, and he boweth and doth obeisance, to his  face; 
04O 022:032 and the messenger of Jehovah saith unto him, `Wherefore  hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? lo, I -- I have  come out for an adversary, for [thy] way hath been perverse  before me, 
04O 022:033 and the ass seeth me, and turneth aside at my presence  these three times; unless she had turned aside from my  presence, surely now also, thee I had slain, and her kept  alive.' 
04O 022:034 And Balaam saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, `I have  sinned, for I did not know that thou [art] standing to meet me  in the way; and now, if evil in thine eyes -- I turn back by  myself.' 
04O 022:035 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Balaam, `Go with  the men; and only the word which I speak unto thee -- it thou  dost speak;' and Balaam goeth with the princes of Balak. 
04O 022:036 And Balak heareth that Balaam hath come, and goeth out to  meet him, unto a city of Moab, which [is] on the border of  Arnon, which [is] in the extremity of the border; 
04O 022:037 and Balak saith unto Balaam, `Did I not diligently sent  unto thee to call for thee? why didst thou not come unto me? am  I not truly able to honour thee?' 
04O 022:038 And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Lo, I have come unto thee;  now -- am I at all able to speak anything? the word which God  setteth in my mouth -- it I do speak.' 
04O 022:039 And Balaam goeth with Balak, and they come to  Kirjath-Huzoth, 
04O 022:040 and Balak sacrificeth oxen and sheep, and sendeth to  Balaam, and to the princes who [are] with him; 
04O 022:041 and it cometh to pass in the morning, that Balak taketh  Balaam, and causeth him to go up the high places of Baal, and  he seeth from thence the extremity of the people. 
04O 023:001 And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Build for me in this [place]  seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven  bullocks and seven rams.' 
04O 023:002 And Balak doth as Balaam hath spoken, and Balak -- Balaam  also -- offereth a bullock and a ram on the altar, 
04O 023:003 and Balaam saith to Balak, `Station thyself by thy  burnt-offering and I go on, it may be Jehovah doth come to meet  me, and the thing which He sheweth me -- I have declared to  thee;' and he goeth [to] a high place. 
04O 023:004 And God cometh unto Balaam, and he saith unto Him, `The  seven altars I have arranged, and I offer a bullock and a ram  on the altar;' 
04O 023:005 and Jehovah putteth a word in the mouth of Balaam, and  saith, `Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost speak.' 
04O 023:006 And he turneth back unto him, and lo, he is standing by his  burnt-offering, he and all the princes of Moab. 
04O 023:007 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `From Aram he doth  lead me -- Balak king of Moab; From mountains of the east: Come --  curse for me Jacob, And come -- be indignant [with] Israel. 
04O 023:008 What -- do I pierce? -- God hath not pierced! And what --  am I indignant? -- Jehovah hath not been indignant! 
04O 023:009 For from the top of rocks I see it, And from heights I  behold it; Lo a people! alone it doth tabernacle, And among  nations doth not reckon itself. 
04O 023:010 Who hath counted the dust of Jacob, And the number of the  fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of upright ones, And let  my last end be like his!' 
04O 023:011 And Balak saith unto Balaam, `What hast thou done to me?  to pierce mine enemies I have taken thee -- and lo, thou hast  certainly blessed;' 
04O 023:012 and he answereth and saith, `That which Jehovah doth put  in my mouth -- it do I not take heed to speak?' 
04O 023:013 And Balak saith unto him, `Come, I pray thee, with me unto  another place, whence thou dost see it, only its extremity thou  dost see, and all of it thou dost not see, and pierce it for me  thence;' 
04O 023:014 and he taketh him [to] the field of Zophim, unto the top  of Pisgah, and buildeth seven altars, and offereth a bullock  and a ram on the altar. 
04O 023:015 And he saith unto Balak, `Station thyself here by thy  burnt-offering, and I -- I meet [Him] there;' 
04O 023:016 and Jehovah cometh unto Balaam, and setteth a word in his  mouth, and saith, `Turn back unto Balak, and thus thou dost  speak.' 
04O 023:017 And he cometh unto him, and lo, he is standing by his  burnt-offering, and the princes of Moab with him, and Balak  saith to him: `What hath Jehovah spoken?' 
04O 023:018 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `Rise, Balak, and  hear; Give ear unto me, son of Zippor! 
04O 023:019 God [is] not a man -- and lieth, And a son of man -- and  repenteth! Hath He said -- and doth He not do [it]? And spoken  -- and doth He not confirm it? 
04O 023:020 Lo, to bless I have received: Yea, He blesseth, and I  [can]not reverse it. 
04O 023:021 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, Nor hath He seen  perverseness in Israel; Jehovah his God [is] with him, And a  shout of a king [is] in him. 
04O 023:022 God is bringing them out from Egypt, As the swiftness of a  Reem is to him; 
04O 023:023 For no enchantment [is] against Jacob, Nor divination  against Israel, At the time it is said of Jacob and Israel,  What hath God wrought! 
04O 023:024 Lo, the people as a lioness riseth, And as a lion he  lifteth himself up, He lieth not down till he eateth prey, And  blood of pierced ones doth drink.' 
04O 023:025 And Balak saith unto Balaam, `Neither pierce it at all,  nor bless it at all;' 
04O 023:026 and Balaam answereth and saith unto Balak, `Have I not  spoken unto thee, saying, All that Jehovah speaketh -- it I  do?' 
04O 023:027 And Balak saith unto Balaam, `Come, I pray thee, I take  thee unto another place; it may be it is right in the eyes of  God -- to pierce it for me from thence.' 
04O 023:028 And Balak taketh Balaam to the top of Peor, which is  looking on the front of the wilderness, 
04O 023:029 and Balaam saith unto Balak, `Build for me in this [place]  seven altars, and make ready for me in this [place] seven  bullocks and seven rams;' 
04O 023:030 and Balak doth as Balaam said, and he offereth a bullock  and a ram on an altar. 
04O 024:001 And Balaam seeth that [it is] good in the eyes of Jehovah  to bless Israel, and he hath not gone as time by time to meet  enchantments, and he setteth towards the wilderness his face; 
04O 024:002 and Balaam lifteth up his eyes, and seeth Israel  tabernacling, by its tribes, and the Spirit of God is upon him, 
04O 024:003 and he taketh up his simile, and saith: `An affirmation of  Balaam son of Beor -- And an affirmation of the man whose eyes  are shut -- 
04O 024:004 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God -- Who  a vision of the Almighty seeth, Falling -- and eyes uncovered: 
04O 024:005 How good have been thy tents, O Jacob, Thy tabernacles, O  Israel; 
04O 024:006 As valleys they have been stretched out, As gardens by a  river; As aloes Jehovah hath planted, As cedars by waters; 
04O 024:007 He maketh water flow from his buckets, And his seed [is] in  many waters; And higher than Agag [is] his king, And exalted is  his kingdom. 
04O 024:008 God is bringing him out of Egypt; As the swiftness of a  Reem is to him, He eateth up nations his adversaries, And their  bones he breaketh, And [with] his arrows he smiteth, 
04O 024:009 He hath bent, he hath lain down as a lion, And as a  lioness: who doth raise him up? He who is blessing thee [is]  blessed, And he who is cursing thee [is] cursed.' 
04O 024:010 And the anger of Balak burneth against Balaam, and he  striketh his hands; and Balak saith unto Balaam, `To pierce  mine enemies I called thee, and lo, thou hast certainly blessed  -- these three times; 
04O 024:011 and now, flee for thyself unto thy place; I have said, I  do greatly honour thee, and lo, Jehovah hath kept thee back  from honour.' 
04O 024:012 And Balaam saith unto Balak, `Did I not also unto thy  messengers whom thou hast sent unto me, speak, saying, 
04O 024:013 If Balak doth give to me the fulness of his house of  silver and gold, I am not able to pass over the command of  Jehovah, to do good or evil of mine own heart -- that which  Jehovah speaketh -- it I speak? 
04O 024:014 and, now, lo, I am going to my people; come, I counsel  thee [concerning] that which this people doth to thy people, in  the latter end of the days.' 
04O 024:015 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `An affirmation of  Balaam son of Beor -- And an affirmation of the man whose eyes  [are] shut -- 
04O 024:016 An affirmation of him who is hearing sayings of God -- And  knowing knowledge of the Most High; A vision of the Almighty he  seeth, Falling -- and eyes uncovered: 
04O 024:017 I see it, but not now; I behold it, but not near; A star  hath proceeded from Jacob, And a sceptre hath risen from  Israel, And hath smitten corners of Moab, And hath destroyed  all sons of Sheth. 
04O 024:018 And Edom hath been a possession, And Seir hath been a  possession, [for] its enemies, And Israel is doing valiantly; 
04O 024:019 And [one] doth rule out of Jacob, And hath destroyed a  remnant from Ar.' 
04O 024:020 And he seeth Amalek, and taketh up his simile, and saith:  `A beginning of the Goyim [is] Amalek; And his latter end --  for ever he perisheth.' 
04O 024:021 And he seeth the Kenite, and taketh up his simile, and  saith: `Enduring [is] thy dwelling, And setting in a rock thy  nest, 
04O 024:022 But the Kenite is for a burning; Till when doth Asshur  keep thee captive?' 
04O 024:023 And he taketh up his simile, and saith: `Alas! who doth  live when God doth this? 
04O 024:024 And -- ships [are] from the side of Chittim, And they have  humbled Asshur, And they have humbled Eber, And it also for  ever is perishing.' 
04O 024:025 And Balaam riseth, and goeth, and turneth back to his  place, and Balak also hath gone on his way. 
04O 025:001 And Israel dwelleth in Shittim, and the people begin to go  a-whoring unto daughters of Moab, 
04O 025:002 and they call for the people to the sacrifices of their  gods, and the people eat, and bow themselves to their gods, 
04O 025:003 and Israel is joined to Baal-Peor, and the anger of Jehovah  burneth against Israel. 
04O 025:004 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take all the chiefs of the  people, and hang them before Jehovah -- over-against the sun;  and the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah doth turn back from  Israel.' 
04O 025:005 And Moses saith unto the judges of Israel, `Slay ye each  his men who are joined to Baal-Peor.' 
04O 025:006 And lo, a man of the sons of Israel hath come, and bringeth  in unto his brethren the Midianitess, before the eyes of Moses,  and before the eyes of all the company of the sons of Israel,  who are weeping at the opening of the tent of meeting; 
04O 025:007 and Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, the priest,  seeth, and riseth from the midst of the company, and taketh a  javelin in his hand, 
04O 025:008 and goeth in after the man of Israel unto the hollow place,  and pierceth them both, the man of Israel and the woman -- unto  her belly, and the plague is restrained from the sons of  Israel; 
04O 025:009 and the dead by the plague are four and twenty thousand. 
04O 025:010 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 025:011 `Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, hath  turned back My fury from the sons of Israel, by his being  zealous with My zeal in their midst, and I have not consumed  the sons of Israel in My zeal. 
04O 025:012 `Therefore say, Lo, I am giving to him My covenant of  peace, 
04O 025:013 and it hath been to him and to his seed after him a  covenant of a priesthood age-during, because that he hath been  zealous for his God, and doth make atonement for the sons of  Israel.' 
04O 025:014 And the name of the man of Israel who is smitten, who hath  been smitten with the Midianitess, [is] Zimri son of Salu,  prince of the house of a father of the Simeonite; 
04O 025:015 and the name of the woman who is smitten, the Midianitess,  [is] Cozbi daughter of Zur, head of a people -- of the house of  a father in Midian [is] he. 
04O 025:016 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 025:017 `Distress the Midianites, and ye have smitten them, 
04O 025:018 for they are adversaries to you with their frauds, [with]  which they have acted fraudulently to you, concerning the  matter of Peor, and concerning the matter of Cozbi, daughter of  a prince of Midian, their sister, who is smitten in the day of  the plague for the matter of Peor.' 
04O 026:001 And it cometh to pass, after the plague, that Jehovah  speaketh unto Moses, and unto Eleazar son of Aaron the priest,  saying, 
04O 026:002 `Take up the sum of all the company of the sons of Israel,  from a son of twenty years and upward, by the house of their  fathers, every one going out to the host in Israel.' 
04O 026:003 And Moses speaketh -- Eleazar the priest also -- with them,  in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying,

04O 026:065 for Jehovah said of them, `They do certainly die in the  wilderness;' and there hath not been left of them a man save  Caleb son of Jephunneh, and Joshua son of Nun.

04O 027:003 `Our father died in the wilderness, and he -- he was not in  the midst of the company who were met together against Jehovah  in the company of Korah, but for his own sin he died, and had  no sons; 
04O 027:004 why is the name of our father withdrawn from the midst of  his family because he hath no son? give to us a possession in  the midst of the brethren of our father;' 
04O 027:005 and Moses bringeth near their cause before Jehovah. 
04O 027:006 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 027:007 `Rightly are the daughters of Zelophehad speaking; thou  dost certainly give to them a possession of an inheritance in  the midst of their father's brethren, and hast caused to pass  over the inheritance of their father to them. 
04O 027:008 `And unto the sons of Israel thou dost speak, saying, When  a man dieth, and hath no son, then ye have caused his  inheritance to pass over to his daughter; 
04O 027:009 and if he have no daughter, then ye have given his  inheritance to his brethren; 
04O 027:010 and if he have no brethren, then ye have given his  inheritance to his father's brethren; 
04O 027:011 and if his father have no brethren, then ye have given his  inheritance to his relation who is near unto him of his family,  and he hath possessed it;' and it hath been to the sons of  Israel for a statute of judgment, as Jehovah hath commanded  Moses. 
04O 027:012 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Go up unto this mount  Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the sons of  Israel; 
04O 027:013 and thou hast seen it, and thou hast been gathered unto  thy people, also thou, as Aaron thy brother hath been gathered, 
04O 027:014 because ye provoked My mouth in the wilderness of Zin, in  the strife of the company -- to sanctify Me at the waters  before their eyes;' they [are] waters of Meribah, in Kadesh, in  the wilderness of Zin. 
04O 027:015 And Moses speaketh unto Jehovah, saying, 
04O 027:016 `Jehovah -- God of the spirits of all flesh -- appoint a  man over the company, 
04O 027:017 who goeth out before them, and who cometh in before them,  and who taketh them out, and who bringeth them in, and the  company of Jehovah is not as sheep which have no shepherd.' 
04O 027:018 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Take to thee Joshua son of  Nun, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and thou hast laid thine  hand upon him, 
04O 027:019 and hast caused him to stand before Eleazar the priest,  and before all the company, and hast charged him before their  eyes, 
04O 027:020 and hast put of thine honour upon him, so that all the  company of the sons of Israel do hearken. 
04O 027:021 `And before Eleazar the priest he standeth, and he hath  asked for him by the judgment of the Lights before Jehovah; at  His word they go out, and at His word they come in; he, and all  the sons of Israel with him, even all the company.' 
04O 027:022 And Moses doth as Jehovah hath commanded him, and taketh  Joshua, and causeth him to stand before Eleazar the priest, and  before all the company, 
04O 027:023 and layeth his hands upon him, and chargeth him, as  Jehovah hath spoken by the hand of Moses. 
04O 028:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 028:002 `Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them,  My offering, My bread for My fire-offerings, My sweet  fragrance, ye take heed to bring near to Me in its appointed  season. 
04O 028:003 `And thou hast said to them, This [is] the fire-offering  which ye bring near to Jehovah: two lambs, sons of a year,  perfect ones, daily, a continual burnt-offering; 
04O 028:004 the one lamb thou preparest in the morning, and the second  lamb thou preparest between the evenings; 
04O 028:005 and a tenth of the ephah of flour for a present, mixed with  beaten oil, a fourth of the hin;

04O 028:008 `And the second lamb thou dost prepare between the  evenings; as the present of the morning, and as its libation  thou preparest -- a fire-offering, a sweet fragrance to  Jehovah. 
04O 028:009 `And on the sabbath-day, two lambs, sons of a year, perfect  ones, and two-tenth deals of flour, a present, mixed with oil,  and its libation;

04O 029:036 and ye have brought near a burnt-offering, a  fire-offering, a sweet fragrance, to Jehovah; one bullock, one  ram, seven lambs, sons of a year, perfect ones; 
04O 029:037 their present, and their libations, for the bullock, for  the ram, and for the lambs, in their number, according to the  ordinance; 
04O 029:038 and one goat, a sin-offering; apart from the continual  burnt-offering, and its present, and its libation. 
04O 029:039 `These ye prepare to Jehovah in your appointed seasons,  apart from your vows, and your free-will offerings, for your  burnt-offerings, and for your presents, and for your libations,  and for your peace-offerings.' 
04O 029:040 And Moses saith unto the sons of Israel according to all  that Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
04O 030:001 And Moses speaketh unto the heads of the tribes of the sons  of Israel, saying, `This [is] the thing which Jehovah hath  commanded: 
04O 030:002 `When a man voweth a vow to Jehovah, or hath sworn an oath  to bind a bond on his soul, he doth not pollute his word;  according to all that is going out from his mouth he doth. 
04O 030:003 `And when a woman voweth a vow to Jehovah, and hath bound a  bond in the house of her father in her youth, 
04O 030:004 and her father hath heard her vow, and her bond which she  hath bound on her soul, and her father hath kept silent at her,  then have all her vows been established, and every bond which  she hath bound on her soul is established. 
04O 030:005 `And if her father hath disallowed her in the day of his  hearing, none of her vows and her bonds which she hath bound on  her soul is established, and Jehovah is propitious to her, for  her father hath disallowed her. 
04O 030:006 `And if she be at all to a husband, and her vows [are] on  her, or a wrongful utterance [on] her lips, which she hath  bound on her soul, 
04O 030:007 and her husband hath heard, and in the day of his hearing,  he hath kept silent at her, then have her vows been  established, and her bonds which she hath bound on her soul are  established. 
04O 030:008 `And if in the day of her husband's hearing he disalloweth  her, then he hath broken her vow which [is] on her, and the  wrongful utterance of her lips which she hath bound on her  soul, and Jehovah is propitious to her. 
04O 030:009 `As to the vow of a widow or cast-out woman, all that she  hath bound on her soul is established on her. 
04O 030:010 `And if [in] the house of her husband she hath vowed, or  hath bound a bond on her soul with an oath, 
04O 030:011 and her husband hath heard, and hath kept silent at her --  he hath not disallowed her -- then have all her vows been  established, and every bond which she hath bound on her soul is  established. 
04O 030:012 `And if her husband doth certainly break them in the day  of his hearing, none of the outgoing of her lips concerning her  vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, is established -- her  husband hath broken them -- and Jehovah is propitious to her. 
04O 030:013 `Every vow and every oath -- a bond to humble a soul --  her husband doth establish it, or her husband doth break it; 
04O 030:014 and if her husband certainly keep silent at her, from day  unto day, then he hath established all her vows, or all her  bonds which [are] upon her; he hath established them, for he  hath kept silent at her in the day of his hearing; 
04O 030:015 and if he doth at all break them after his hearing, then  he hath borne her iniquity.' 
04O 030:016 These [are] the statutes which Jehovah hath commanded  Moses between a man and his wife, between a father and his  daughter, in her youth, [in] the house of her father. 
04O 031:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 031:002 `Execute the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the  Midianites -- afterwards thou art gathered unto thy people.' 
04O 031:003 And Moses speaketh unto the people, saying, `Be ye armed  some of you for the host, and they are against Midian, to put  the vengeance of Jehovah on Midian; 
04O 031:004 a thousand for a tribe -- a thousand for a tribe, to all  the tribes of Israel -- ye do send to the host.' 
04O 031:005 And there are given out of the thousands of Israel a  thousand for a tribe, twelve thousand armed ones of the host; 
04O 031:006 and Moses sendeth them, a thousand for a tribe, to the  host, them and Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, to the host;  and the holy vessels, and the trumpets of the shouting, in his  hand. 
04O 031:007 And they war against Midian, as Jehovah hath commanded  Moses, and slay every male; 
04O 031:008 and the kings of Midian they have slain, besides their  pierced ones, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five  kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor, they have slain with  the sword. 
04O 031:009 And the sons of Israel take captive the women of Midian,  and their infants; and all their cattle, and all their  substance, and all their wealth they have plundered; 
04O 031:010 and all their cities, with their habitations, and all  their towers, they have burnt with fire. 
04O 031:011 And they take all the spoil, and all the prey, among man  and among beast; 
04O 031:012 and they bring in, unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the  priest, and unto the company of the sons of Israel, the  captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto the camp, unto the  plains of Moab, which [are] by Jordan, [near] Jericho. 
04O 031:013 And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of  the company, go out to meet them, unto the outside of the camp, 
04O 031:014 and Moses is wroth against the inspectors of the force,  chiefs of the thousands, and chiefs of the hundreds, who are  coming in from the host of the battle. 
04O 031:015 And Moses saith unto them, `Have ye kept alive every  female? 
04O 031:016 lo, they -- they have been to the sons of Israel, through  the word of Balaam, to cause a trespass against Jehovah in the  matter of Peor, and the plague is in the company of Jehovah. 
04O 031:017 `And now, slay ye every male among the infants, yea, every  woman known of man by the lying of a male ye have slain; 
04O 031:018 and all the infants among the women, who have not known  the lying of a male, ye have kept alive for yourselves. 
04O 031:019 `And ye, encamp ye at the outside of the camp seven days  -- any who hath slain a person, and any who hath come against a  pierced one, ye cleanse yourselves on the third day, and on the  seventh day -- ye and your captives; 
04O 031:020 and every garment, and every skin vessel, and every work  of goats' [hair], and every wooden vessel, ye yourselves  cleanse.' 
04O 031:021 And Eleazar the priest saith unto the men of the host who  go in to battle, `This [is] the statute of the law which  Jehovah hath commanded Moses: 
04O 031:022 only, the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the  tin, and the lead, 
04O 031:023 every thing which may go into fire, ye cause to pass over  through fire, and it hath been clean; only, with the water of  separation it is cleansed, and all that may not go into fire,  ye cause to pass over through water; 
04O 031:024 and ye have washed your garments on the seventh day, and  have been clean, and afterwards ye come in unto the camp.' 
04O 031:025 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 031:026 `Take up the sum of the prey of the captives, among man  and among beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of  the fathers of the company; 
04O 031:027 and thou hast halved the prey between those handling the  battle who go out to the host and all the company; 
04O 031:028 and thou hast raised a tribute to Jehovah from the men of  war, who go out to the host, one body out of five hundred, of  man, and of the herd, and of the asses, and of the flock; 
04O 031:029 from their half ye do take, and thou hast given to Eleazar  the priest -- the heave-offering of Jehovah. 
04O 031:030 `And from the sons of Israel's half thou dost take one  possession out of fifty, of man, of the herd, of the asses, and  of the flock, of all the cattle, and thou hast given them to  the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.' 
04O 031:031 And Moses doth -- Eleazar the priest also -- as Jehovah  hath commanded Moses. 
04O 031:032 And the prey, the residue of the spoil which the people of  the host have spoiled, is of the flock six hundred thousand,  and seventy thousand, and five thousand; 
04O 031:033 and of the herd two and seventy thousand; 
04O 031:034 and of asses one and sixty thousand; 
04O 031:035 and of human beings -- of the women who have not known the  lying of a male -- all the persons [are] two and thirty  thousand. 
04O 031:036 And the half -- the portion of those who go out into the  host -- the number of the flock is three hundred thousand, and  thirty thousand, and seven thousand and five hundred. 
04O 031:037 And the tribute to Jehovah of the sheep is six hundred  five and seventy; 
04O 031:038 and the herd [is] six and thirty thousand, and their  tribute to Jehovah [is] two and seventy; 
04O 031:039 and the asses [are] thirty thousand and five hundred, and  their tribute to Jehovah [is] one and sixty; 
04O 031:040 and the human beings [are] sixteen thousand, and their  tribute to Jehovah [is] two and thirty persons. 
04O 031:041 And Moses giveth the tribute -- Jehovah's heave-offering  -- to Eleazar the priest, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
04O 031:042 And of the sons of Israel's half, which Moses halved from  the men who war -- 
04O 031:043 and the company's half is, of the flock three hundred  thousand, and thirty thousand, seven thousand and five hundred; 
04O 031:044 and of the herd six and thirty thousand; 
04O 031:045 and of asses thirty thousand and five hundred; 
04O 031:046 and of human beings sixteen thousand -- 
04O 031:047 Moses taketh from the sons of Israel's half the one  possession from the fifty, of man and of beast, and giveth them  to the Levites keeping the charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah,  as Jehovah hath commanded Moses. 
04O 031:048 And the inspectors whom the thousands of the host hath,  (heads of the thousands and heads of the hundreds), draw near  unto Moses, 
04O 031:049 and they say unto Moses, `Thy servants have taken up the  sum of the men of war who [are] with us, and not a man of us  hath been missed; 
04O 031:050 and we bring near Jehovah's offering, each that which he  hath found, vessels of gold -- chain, and bracelet, seal-ring,  [ear]-ring, and bead -- to make atonement for ourselves before  Jehovah.' 
04O 031:051 And Moses receiveth -- Eleazar the priest also -- the gold  from them, every made vessel, 
04O 031:052 and all the gold of the heave-offering which they have  lifted up to Jehovah is sixteen thousand seven hundred and  fifty shekels, from heads of the thousands, and from heads of  the hundreds; 
04O 031:053 (the men of the host have spoiled each for himself); 
04O 031:054 and Moses taketh -- Eleazar the priest also -- the gold  from the heads of the thousands and of the hundreds, and they  bring it in unto the tent of meeting -- a memorial for the sons  of Israel before Jehovah. 
04O 032:001 And much cattle hath been to the sons of Reuben and to the  sons of Gad, very many; and they see the land of Jazer, and the  land of Gilead, and lo, the place [is] a place [for] cattle; 
04O 032:002 and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Reuben, come in and  speak unto Moses, and unto Eleazar the priest, and unto the  princes of the company, saying: 
04O 032:003 `Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon,  and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon -- 
04O 032:004 the land which Jehovah hath smitten before the company of  Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle.' 
04O 032:005 And they say, `If we have found grace in thine eyes, let  this land be given to thy servants for a possession; cause us  not to pass over the Jordan.' 
04O 032:006 And Moses saith to the sons of Gad and to the sons of  Reuben, `Do your brethren go in to the battle, and ye -- do ye  sit here? 
04O 032:007 and why discourage ye the heart of the sons of Israel from  passing over unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them? 
04O 032:008 `Thus did your fathers in my sending them from  Kadesh-Barnea to see the land; 
04O 032:009 and they go up unto the valley of Eshcol, and see the land,  and discourage the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go  in unto the land which Jehovah hath given to them; 
04O 032:010 and the anger of Jehovah burneth in that day, and He  sweareth, saying, 
04O 032:011 They do not see -- the men who are coming up out of Egypt  from a son of twenty years and upward -- the ground which I  have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, for they have  not been fully after Me; 
04O 032:012 save Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua son  of Nun, for they have been fully after Jehovah; 
04O 032:013 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He  causeth them to wander in the wilderness forty years, until the  consumption of all the generation which is doing the evil thing  in the eyes of Jehovah. 
04O 032:014 `And lo, ye have risen in the stead of your fathers, an  increase of men -- sinners, to add yet to the fury of the anger  of Jehovah toward Israel; 
04O 032:015 when ye turn back from after Him, then He hath added yet  to leave him in the wilderness, and ye have done corruptly to  all this people.' 
04O 032:016 And they come nigh unto him, and say, `Folds for the flock  we build for our cattle here, and cities for our infants; 
04O 032:017 and we -- we are armed hasting before the sons of Israel  till that we have brought them in unto their place; and our  infants have dwelt in the cities of defence because of the  inhabitants of the land; 
04O 032:018 we do not turn back unto our houses till the sons of  Israel have inherited each his inheritance, 
04O 032:019 for we do not inherit with them beyond the Jordan and  yonder, for our inheritance hath come unto us beyond the Jordan  at the [sun]-rising.' 
04O 032:020 And Moses saith unto them, `If ye do this thing: if ye are  armed before Jehovah for battle, 
04O 032:021 and every armed one of you hath passed over the Jordan  before Jehovah, till his dispossessing His enemies from before  Him, 
04O 032:022 and the land hath been subdued before Jehovah -- then  afterwards ye do turn back, and have been acquitted by Jehovah,  and by Israel; and this land hath been to you for a possession  before Jehovah. 
04O 032:023 `And if ye do not so, lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah,  and know ye your sin, that it doth find you; 
04O 032:024 build for yourselves cities for your infants, and folds  for your flock, and that which is going out from your mouth do  ye.' 
04O 032:025 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben speak unto  Moses, saying, `Thy servants do as my lord is commanding; 
04O 032:026 our infants, our wives, our cattle, and all our beasts,  are there in cities of Gilead, 
04O 032:027 and thy servants pass over, every armed one of the host,  before Jehovah, to battle, as my lord is saying.' 
04O 032:028 And Moses commandeth concerning them Eleazar the priest,  and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the  tribes of the sons of Israel; 
04O 032:029 and Moses saith unto them, `If the sons of Gad and the  sons of Reuben pass over with you the Jordan, every one armed  for battle, before Jehovah, and the land hath been subdued  before you, then ye have given to them the land of Gilead for a  possession; 
04O 032:030 and if they do not pass over armed with you, then they  have possessions in your midst in the land of Canaan.' 
04O 032:031 And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answer, saying,  `That which Jehovah hath spoken unto thy servants -- so we do; 
04O 032:032 we -- we pass over armed before Jehovah [to] the land of  Canaan, and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance  beyond the Jordan.' 
04O 032:033 And Moses giveth to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the  sons of Reuben, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh son of  Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the  kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land by its cities, in the  borders, the cities of the land round about. 
04O 032:034 And the sons of Gad build Dihon, and Ataroth, and Aroer, 
04O 032:035 and Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah, 
04O 032:036 and Beth-Nimrah, and Beth-Haran, cities of defence, and  sheepfolds. 
04O 032:037 And the sons of Reuben have build Heshbon, and Elealeh,  and Kirjathaim, 
04O 032:038 and Nebo, and Baal-Meon (changed in name), and Shibmah,  and they call by [these] names the names of the cities which  they have built. 
04O 032:039 And sons of Machir son of Manasseh go to Gilead, and  capture it, and dispossess the Amorite, who [is] in it; 
04O 032:040 and Moses giveth Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he  dwelleth in it. 
04O 032:041 And Jair son of Manasseh hath gone and captureth their  towns, and calleth them `Towns of Jair;' 
04O 032:042 and Nobah hath gone and captureth Kenath, and its  villages, and calleth it Nobah, by his own name. 
04O 033:001 These [are] journeys of the sons of Israel who have come  out of the land of Egypt, by their hosts, by the hand of Moses  and Aaron; 
04O 033:002 and Moses writeth their outgoings, by their journeys, by  the command of Jehovah; and these [are] their journeys, by  their outgoings: 
04O 033:003 And they journey from Rameses in the first month, on the  fifteenth day of the first month, on the morrow of the passover  have the sons of Israel gone out with a high hand, before the  eyes of all the Egyptians -- 
04O 033:004 and the Egyptians are burying those whom Jehovah hath  smitten among them, every first-born, and on their gods hath  Jehovah done judgments -- 
04O 033:005 and the sons of Israel journey from Rameses, and encamp in  Succoth. 
04O 033:006 And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham, which  [is] in the extremity of the wilderness; 
04O 033:007 and they journey from Etham, and turn back on Pi-Hahiroth,  which [is] on the front of Baal-Zephon, and they encamp before  Migdol. 
04O 033:008 And they journey from Pi-Hahiroth, and pass over through  the midst of the sea, into the wilderness, and go a journey of  three days in the wilderness of Etham, and encamp in Marah. 
04O 033:009 And they journey from Marah, and come in to Elim, and in  Elim [are] twelve fountains of waters, and seventy palm trees,  and they encamp there; 
04O 033:010 and they journey from Elim, and encamp by the Red Sea. 
04O 033:011 And they journey from the Red Sea, and encamp in the  wilderness of Sin; 
04O 033:012 and they journey from the wilderness of Sin, and encamp in  Dophkah. 
04O 033:013 And they journey from Dophkah, and encamp in Alush; 
04O 033:014 and they journey from Alush, and encamp in Rephidim; and  there was there no water for the people to drink. 
04O 033:015 And they journey from Rephidim, and encamp in the  wilderness of Sinai; 
04O 033:016 and they journey from the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp  in Kibroth-Hattaavah. 
04O 033:017 And they journey from Kibroth-Hattaavah, and encamp in  Hazeroth; 
04O 033:018 and they journey from Hazeroth, and encamp in Rithmah. 
04O 033:019 And they journey from Rithmah, and encamp in Rimmon-Parez; 
04O 033:020 and they journey from Rimmon-Parez, and encamp in Libnah. 
04O 033:021 And they journey from Libnah, and encamp in Rissah; 
04O 033:022 and they journey from Rissah, and encamp in Kehelathah. 
04O 033:023 And they journey from Kehelathah, and encamp in mount  Shapher; 
04O 033:024 and they journey from mount Shapher, and encamp in  Haradah. 
04O 033:025 And they journey from Haradah, and encamp in Makheloth; 
04O 033:026 and they journey from Makheloth, and encamp in Tahath. 
04O 033:027 And they journey from Tahath, and encamp in Tarah; 
04O 033:028 and they journey from Tarah, and encamp in Mithcah. 
04O 033:029 And they journey from Mithcah, and encamp in Hashmonah; 
04O 033:030 and they journey from Hashmonah, and encamp in Moseroth. 
04O 033:031 And they journey from Moseroth, and encamp in Bene-Jaakan; 
04O 033:032 and they journey from Bene-Jaakan, and encamp at  Hor-Hagidgad. 
04O 033:033 And they journey from Hor-Hagidgad, and encamp in  Jotbathah; 
04O 033:034 and they journey from Jotbathah, and encamp in Ebronah. 
04O 033:035 And they journey from Ebronah, and encamp in Ezion-Gaber; 
04O 033:036 and they journey from Ezion-Gaber, and encamp in the  wilderness of Zin, which [is] Kadesh. 
04O 033:037 And they journey from Kadesh, and encamp in mount Hor, in  the extremity of the land of Edom. 
04O 033:038 And Aaron the priest goeth up unto mount Hor, by the  command of Jehovah, and dieth there, in the fortieth year of  the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in  the fifth month, on the first of the month; 
04O 033:039 and Aaron [is] a son of a hundred and twenty and three  years in his dying in mount Hor. 
04O 033:040 And the Canaanite -- king Arad -- who is dwelling in the  south, in the land of Canaan, heareth of the coming of the sons  of Israel. 
04O 033:041 And they journey from mount Hor, and encamp in Zalmonah; 
04O 033:042 and they journey from Zalmonah, and encamp in Punon. 
04O 033:043 And they journey from Punon, and encamp in Oboth; 
04O 033:044 and they journey from Oboth, and encamp in Ije-Abarim, in  the border of Moab. 
04O 033:045 And they journey from Iim, and encamp in Dibon-Gad;

04O 033:048 and they journey from the mountains of Abarim, and encamp  in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho. 
04O 033:049 And they encamp by the Jordan from Beth-Jeshimoth, unto  Abel-Shittim, in the plains of Moab. 
04O 033:050 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by  Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying, 
04O 033:051 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When ye are passing over the Jordan unto the land of  Canaan, 
04O 033:052 then ye have dispossessed all the inhabitants of the land  from before you, and have destroyed all their imagery, yea, all  their molten images ye destroy, and all their high places ye  lay waste, 
04O 033:053 and ye have possessed the land, and dwelt in it, for to  you I have given the land -- to possess it. 
04O 033:054 `And ye have inherited the land by lot, by your families;  to the many ye increase their inheritance, and to the few ye  diminish their inheritance; whither the lot goeth out to him,  it is his; by the tribes of your fathers ye inherit. 
04O 033:055 `And if ye do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land  from before you, then it hath been, those whom ye let remain of  them, [are] for pricks in your eyes, and for thorns in your  sides, and they have distressed you on the land in which ye are  dwelling, 
04O 033:056 and it hath come to pass, as I thought to do to them -- I  do to you.' 
04O 034:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 034:002 `Command the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them,  When ye are coming in unto the land of Canaan -- this [is] the  land which falleth to you by inheritance, the land of Canaan,  by its borders -- 
04O 034:003 then hath the south quarter been to you from the wilderness  of Zin, by the sides of Edom, yea, the south border hath been  to you from the extremity of the Salt Sea, eastward; 
04O 034:004 and the border hath turned round to you from the south to  the ascent of Akrabbim, and hath passed on to Zin, and its  outgoings have been from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it  hath gone out at Hazar-Addar, and hath passed on to Azmon; 
04O 034:005 and the border hath turned round from Azmon to the brook of  Egypt, and its outgoings have been at the sea. 
04O 034:006 `As to the west border, even the great sea hath been to you  a border; this is to you the west border. 
04O 034:007 `And this is to you the north border: from the great sea ye  mark out for yourselves mount Hor; 
04O 034:008 from mount Hor ye mark out to go in to Hamath, and the  outgoings of the border have been to Zedad; 
04O 034:009 and the border hath gone out to Ziphron, and its outgoings  have been at Hazar-Enan; this is to you the north border. 
04O 034:010 `And ye have marked out for yourselves for the border  eastward, from Hazar-Enan to Shepham; 
04O 034:011 and the border hath gone down from Shepham to Riblah, on  the east of Ain, and the border hath gone down, and hath  smitten against the shoulder of the sea of Chinnereth eastward; 
04O 034:012 and the border hath gone down to the Jordan, and its  outgoings have been at the Salt Sea; this is for you the land  by its borders round about.' 
04O 034:013 And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, saying, `This  [is] the land which ye inherit by lot, which Jehovah hath  commanded to give to the nine tribes and the half of the tribe; 
04O 034:014 for the tribe of the sons of Reuben have received, by the  house of their fathers; and the tribe of the children of Gad,  by the house of their fathers; and the half of the tribe of  Manasseh have received their inheritance; 
04O 034:015 the two tribes and the half of the tribe have received  their inheritance beyond the Jordan, [near] Jericho, eastward,  at the [sun]-rising.' 
04O 034:016 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 034:017 `These [are] the names of the men who give to you the  inheritance of the land: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son of  Nun, 
04O 034:018 and one prince -- one prince -- for a tribe ye do take to  give the land by inheritance. 
04O 034:019 `And these [are] the names of the men: of the tribe of  Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh; 
04O 034:020 and of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of  Aminihud; 
04O 034:021 of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon; 
04O 034:022 and of the tribe of the sons of Dan, the prince Bukki son  of Jogli; 
04O 034:023 of the sons of Joseph, of the tribe of the sons of  Manasseh, the prince Hanniel son of Ephod; 
04O 034:024 and of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, the prince Kemuel  son of Shiphtan; 
04O 034:025 and of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, the prince  Elizaphan son of Parnach; 
04O 034:026 and of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the prince  Paltiel son of Azzan; 
04O 034:027 and of the tribe of the sons of Asher, the prince Ahihud  son of Shelomi; 
04O 034:028 and of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the prince  Pedahel son of Ammihud.' 
04O 034:029 These [are] those whom Jehovah hath commanded to give the  sons of Israel inheritance in the land of Canaan. 
04O 035:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in the plains of Moab, by  Jordan, [near] Jericho, saying, 
04O 035:002 `Command the sons of Israel, and they have given to the  Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to  inhabit; also a suburb for the cities round about them ye do  give to the Levites. 
04O 035:003 And the cities have been to them to inhabit, and their  suburbs are for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all  their beasts. 
04O 035:004 `And the suburbs of the cities which ye give to the Levites  [are], from the wall of the city and without, a thousand cubits  round about. 
04O 035:005 And ye have measured from the outside of the city, the east  quarter, two thousand by the cubit, and the south quarter, two  thousand by the cubit, and the west quarter, two thousand by  the cubit, and the north quarter, two thousand by the cubit;  and the city [is] in the midst; this is to them the suburbs of  the cities. 
04O 035:006 `And the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] the six  cities of refuge, which ye give for the fleeing thither of the  man-slayer, and besides them ye give forty and two cities; 
04O 035:007 all the cities which ye give to the Levites [are] forty and  eight cities, them and their suburbs. 
04O 035:008 And the cities which ye give [are] of the possession of the  sons of Israel, from the many ye multiply, and from the few ye  diminish; each, according to his inheritance which they  inherit, doth give of his cities to the Levites.' 
04O 035:009 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, 
04O 035:010 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto  them, When ye are passing over the Jordan to the land of  Canaan, 
04O 035:011 and have prepared to yourselves cities -- cities of refuge  they are to you -- then fled thither hath a man-slayer, smiting  a person unawares, 
04O 035:012 and the cities have been to you for a refuge from the  redeemer, and the man-slayer doth not die till his standing  before the company for judgment. 
04O 035:013 `As to the cities which ye give -- six [are] cities of  refuge to you; 
04O 035:014 the three of the cities ye give beyond the Jordan, and the  three of the cities ye give in the land of Canaan; cities of  refuge they are. 
04O 035:015 To sons of Israel, and to a sojourner, and to a settler in  their midst, are these six cities for a refuge, for the fleeing  thither of any one smiting a person unawares. 
04O 035:016 `And if with an instrument of iron he hath smitten him,  and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the murderer is certainly put  to death. 
04O 035:017 `And if with a stone [in] the hand, wherewith he dieth, he  hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer: the  murderer is certainly put to death. 
04O 035:018 `Or with a wooden instrument [in] the hand, wherewith he  dieth, he hath smitten him, and he dieth, he [is] a murderer:  the murderer is certainly put to death. 
04O 035:019 `The redeemer of blood himself doth put the murderer to  death; in his coming against him he doth put him to death. 
04O 035:020 `And if in hatred he thrust him through, or hath cast  [anything] at him by lying in wait, and he dieth; 
04O 035:021 or in enmity he hath smitten him with his hand, and he  dieth; the smiter is certainly put to death; he [is] a  murderer; the redeemer of blood doth put the murderer to death  in his coming against him. 
04O 035:022 `And if, in an instant, without enmity, he hath thrust him  through, or hath cast at him any instrument, without lying in  wait; 
04O 035:023 or with any stone wherewith he dieth, without seeing, and  causeth [it] to fall upon him, and he dieth, and he [is] not  his enemy, nor seeking his evil; 
04O 035:024 then have the company judged between the smiter and the  redeemer of blood, by these judgments. 
04O 035:025 `And the company have delivered the man-slayer out of the  hand of the redeemer of blood, and the company have caused him  to turn back unto the city of his refuge, whither he hath fled,  and he hath dwelt in it till the death of the chief priest, who  hath been anointed with the holy oil. 
04O 035:026 `And if the man-slayer at all go out [from] the border of  the city of his refuge whither he fleeth, 
04O 035:027 and the redeemer of blood hath found him at the outside of  the border of the city of his refuge, and the redeemer of blood  hath slain the man-slayer, blood is not for him; 
04O 035:028 for in the city of his refuge he doth dwell till the death  of the chief priest; and after the death of the chief priest  doth the man-slayer turn back unto the city of his possession. 
04O 035:029 `And these things have been to you for a statute of  judgment to your generations, in all your dwellings: 
04O 035:030 whoso smiteth a person, by the mouth of witnesses doth  [one] slay the murderer; and one witness doth not testify  against a person -- to die. 
04O 035:031 `And ye take no atonement for the life of a murderer who  [is] condemned -- to die, for he is certainly put to death; 
04O 035:032 and ye take no atonement for him to flee unto the city of  his refuge, to turn back to dwell in the land, until the death  of the priest. 
04O 035:033 `And ye profane not the land which ye [are] in, for blood  profaneth the land; as to the land, it is not pardoned for  blood which is shed in it except by the blood of him who  sheddeth it; 
04O 035:034 and ye defile not the land in which ye are dwelling, in  the midst of which I do tabernacle, for I Jehovah do tabernacle  in the midst of the sons of Israel.' 
04O 036:001 And the heads of the fathers of the families of the sons of  Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, of the families of the  sons of Joseph, come near, and speak before Moses, and before  the princes, heads of the fathers of the sons of Israel, 
04O 036:002 and say, Jehovah commanded my lord to give the land for  inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord hath been  commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our  brother to his daughters. 
04O 036:003 `And -- they have been to one of the sons of the [other]  tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, and their inheritance  hath been withdrawn from the inheritance of our fathers, and  hath been added to the inheritance of the tribe which is  theirs, and from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn, 
04O 036:004 and if it is the jubilee of the sons of Israel, then hath  their inheritance been added to the inheritance of the tribe  which is theirs, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our  fathers is their inheritance withdrawn.' 
04O 036:005 And Moses commandeth the sons of Israel, by the command of  Jehovah, saying, `Rightly are the tribe of the sons of Joseph  speaking; 
04O 036:006 this [is] the thing which Jehovah hath commanded concerning  the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, To those good in their  eyes let them be for wives; only, to a family of the tribe of  their fathers let them be for wives; 
04O 036:007 and the inheritance of the sons of Israel doth not turn  round from tribe unto tribe; for each to the inheritance of the  tribe of his fathers, do the sons of Israel cleave. 
04O 036:008 `And every daughter possessing an inheritance, of the  tribes of the sons of Israel, is to one of the family of the  tribe of her father for a wife, so that the sons of Israel  possess each the inheritance of his fathers, 
04O 036:009 and the inheritance doth not turn round from [one] tribe to  another tribe; for each to his inheritance do they cleave, the  tribes of the sons of Israel.' 
04O 036:010 As Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the daughters of  Zelophehad done, 
04O 036:011 and Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah,  daughters of Zelophehad, are to the sons of their fathers'  brethren for wives; 
04O 036:012 [to men] of the families of the sons of Manasseh, son of  Joseph, they have been for wives, and their inheritance is with  the tribe of the family of their father. 
04O 036:013 These [are] the commands and the judgments which Jehovah  hath commanded, by the hand of Moses, concerning the sons of  Israel, in the plains of Moab, by Jordan, [near] Jericho.  
05O 001:001 These [are] the words which Moses hath spoken unto all  Israel, beyond the Jordan, in the wilderness, in the plain  over-against Suph, between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and  Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab; 
05O 001:002 eleven days' from Horeb, the way of mount Seir, unto  Kadesh-Barnea. 
05O 001:003 And it cometh to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh  month, on the first of the month hath Moses spoken unto the  sons of Israel according to all that Jehovah hath commanded him  concerning them; 
05O 001:004 after his smiting Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling  in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth  in Edrei, 
05O 001:005 beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, hath Moses begun to  explain this law, saying: 
05O 001:006 `Jehovah our God hath spoken unto us in Horeb, saying,  Enough to you -- of dwelling in this mount; 
05O 001:007 turn ye and journey for you, and enter the mount of the  Amorite, and unto all its neighbouring places, in the plain, in  the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and  in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of  Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Phrat; 
05O 001:008 see, I have set before you the land; go in and possess the  land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to  Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after  them. 
05O 001:009 `And I speak unto you at that time, saying, I am not able by  myself to bear you; 
05O 001:010 Jehovah your God hath multiplied you, and lo, ye [are]  to-day as the stars of the heavens for multitude; 
05O 001:011 Jehovah, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as ye  [are], a thousand times, and doth bless you as He hath spoken  to you. 
05O 001:012 `How do I bear by myself your pressure, and your burden,  and your strife? 
05O 001:013 Give for yourselves men, wise and intelligent, and known to  your tribes, and I set them for your heads; 
05O 001:014 and ye answer me and say, Good [is] the thing which thou  hast spoken -- to do. 
05O 001:015 `And I take the heads of your tribes, men, wise and known,  and I appoint them heads over you, princes of thousands, and  princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of  tens, and authorities, for your tribes. 
05O 001:016 And I command your judges at that time, saying, Hearkening  between your brethren -- then ye have judged righteousness  between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner; 
05O 001:017 ye do not discern faces in judgment; as the little so the  great ye do hear; ye are not afraid of the face of any, for the  judgment is God's, and the thing which is too hard for you, ye  bring near unto me, and I have heard it; 
05O 001:018 and I command you, at that time, all the things which ye  do. 
05O 001:019 `And we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great  and fearful wilderness which ye have seen -- the way of the  hill-country of the Amorite, as Jehovah our God hath commanded  us, and we come in unto Kadesh-Barnea. 
05O 001:020 `And I say unto you, Ye have come in unto the hill-country  of the Amorite, which Jehovah our God is giving to us; 
05O 001:021 see, Jehovah thy God hath set before thee the land; go up,  possess, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee;  fear not, nor be affrighted. 
05O 001:022 `And ye come near unto me, all of you, and say, Let us send  men before us, and they search for us the land, and they bring  us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it,  and the cities unto which we come in; 
05O 001:023 and the thing is good in mine eyes, and I take of you  twelve men, one man for a tribe. 
05O 001:024 `And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come in  unto the valley of Eshcol, and spy it, 
05O 001:025 and they take with their hand of the fruit of the land, and  bring down unto us, and bring us back word, and say, Good is  the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us. 
05O 001:026 `And ye have not been willing to go up, and ye provoke the  mouth of Jehovah your God, 
05O 001:027 and murmur in your tents, and say, In Jehovah's hating us  He hath brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into  the hand of the Amorite -- to destroy us; 
05O 001:028 whither are we going up? our brethren have melted our  heart, saying, A people greater and taller than we, cities  great and fenced to heaven, and also sons of Anakim -- we have  seen there. 
05O 001:029 `And I say unto you, Be not terrified, nor be afraid of  them; 
05O 001:030 Jehovah your God, who is going before you -- He doth fight  for you, according to all that He hath done with you in Egypt  before your eyes, 
05O 001:031 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen that Jehovah  thy God hath borne thee as a man beareth his son, in all the  way which ye have gone, till your coming in unto this place. 
05O 001:032 `And in this thing ye are not stedfast in Jehovah your God, 
05O 001:033 who is going before you in the way to search out to you a  place for your encamping, in fire by night, to shew you in the  way in which ye go, and in a cloud by day. 
05O 001:034 `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, and is wroth,  and sweareth, saying, 
05O 001:035 Not one of these men of this evil generation doth see the  good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers, 
05O 001:036 save Caleb son of Jephunneh -- he doth see it, and to him I  give the land on which he hath trodden, and to his sons,  because that he hath been fully after Jehovah. 
05O 001:037 `Also with me hath Jehovah been angry for your sake,  saying, Also, thou dost not go in thither; 
05O 001:038 Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before thee, he goeth in  thither; him strengthen thou; for he doth cause Israel to  inherit. 
05O 001:039 `And your infants, of whom ye have said, For a prey they  are, and your sons who have not known to-day good and evil,  they go in thither, and to them I give it, and they possess it; 
05O 001:040 and ye, turn for yourselves, and journey toward the  wilderness, the way of the Red Sea. 
05O 001:041 `And ye answer and say unto me, We have sinned against  Jehovah; we -- we go up, and we have fought, according to all  that which Jehovah our God hath commanded us; and ye gird on  each his weapons of war, and ye are ready to go up into the  hill-country; 
05O 001:042 and Jehovah saith unto me, Say to them, Ye do not go up,  nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and ye are not smitten  before your enemies. 
05O 001:043 `And I speak unto you, and ye have not hearkened, and  provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and act proudly, and go up into  the hill-country; 
05O 001:044 and the Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country cometh  out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and smite  you in Seir -- unto Hormah. 
05O 001:045 `And ye turn back and weep before Jehovah, and Jehovah hath  not hearkened to your voice, nor hath he given ear unto you; 
05O 001:046 and ye dwell in Kadesh many days, according to the days  which ye had dwelt. 
05O 002:001 `And we turn, and journey into the wilderness, the way of  the Red Sea, as Jehovah hath spoken unto me, and we go round  the mount of Seir many days. 
05O 002:002 `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, 
05O 002:003 Enough to you -- is the going round of this mount; turn for  yourselves northward. 
05O 002:004 `And the people command thou, saying, Ye are passing over  into the border of your brethren, sons of Esau, who are  dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and ye have been  very watchful, 
05O 002:005 ye do not strive with them, for I do not give to you of  their land even the treading of the sole of a foot; for a  possession to Esau I have given mount Seir. 
05O 002:006 `Food ye buy from them with money, and have eaten; and also  water ye buy from them with money, and have drunk, 
05O 002:007 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in all the work of thy  hands; He hath known thy walking in this great wilderness these  forty years; Jehovah thy God [is] with thee; thou hast not  lacked anything. 
05O 002:008 `And we pass by from our brethren, sons of Esau, who are  dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath, and by  Ezion-Gaber; and we turn, and pass over the way of the  wilderness of Moab; 
05O 002:009 and Jehovah saith unto me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir  thyself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give to thee  of their land [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have  given Ar [for] a possession.' 
05O 002:010 `The Emim formerly have dwelt in it, a people great, and  numerous, and tall, as the Anakim; 
05O 002:011 Rephaim they are reckoned, they also, as the Anakim; and  the Moabites call them Emim. 
05O 002:012 And in Seir have the Horim dwelt formerly; and the sons of  Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and  dwell in their stead, as Israel hath done to the land of his  possession, which Jehovah hath given to them; 
05O 002:013 now, rise ye, and pass over for yourselves the brook Zered;  and we pass over the brook Zered. 
05O 002:014 `And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until  that we have passed over the brook Zered, [are] thirty and  eight years, till the consumption of all the generation of the  men of battle from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah hath sworn  to them; 
05O 002:015 and also the hand of Jehovah hath been against them, to  destroy them from the midst of the camp, till they are  consumed. 
05O 002:016 `And it cometh to pass, when all the men of battle have  finished dying from the midst of the people, 
05O 002:017 that Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, 
05O 002:018 Thou art passing over to-day the border of Moab, even Ar, 
05O 002:019 and thou hast come near over-against the sons of Ammon,  thou dost not distress them, nor stir up thyself against them,  for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to  thee [for] a possession; for to the sons of Lot I have given it  [for] a possession. 
05O 002:020 `A land of Rephaim it is reckoned, even it; Rephaim dwelt  in it formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim; 
05O 002:021 a people great, and numerous, and tall, as the Anakim, and  Jehovah destroyeth them before them, and they dispossess them,  and dwell in their stead, 
05O 002:022 as He hath done for the sons of Esau, who are dwelling in  Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they  dispossess them, and dwell in their stead, unto this day. 
05O 002:023 `As to the Avim who are dwelling in Hazerim unto Azzah, the  Caphtorim -- who are coming out from Caphtor -- have destroyed  them, and dwell in their stead. 
05O 002:024 `Rise ye, journey and pass over the brook Arnon; see, I  have given into thy hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite,  and his land; begin to possess, and stir up thyself against him  [in] battle. 
05O 002:025 This day I begin to put thy dread and thy fear on the face  of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear thy fame, and  have trembled and been pained because of thee. 
05O 002:026 `And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth,  unto Sihon king of Heshbon, -- words of peace -- saying, 
05O 002:027 Let me pass over through thy land; in the several ways I  go; I turn not aside -- right or left -- 
05O 002:028 food for money thou dost sell me, and I have eaten; and  water for money thou dost give to me, and I have drunk; only,  let me pass over on my feet, -- 
05O 002:029 as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, and the  Moabites who are dwelling in Ar, have done to me -- till that I  pass over the Jordan, unto the land which Jehovah our God is  giving to us. 
05O 002:030 `And Sihon king of Heshbon hath not been willing to let us  pass over by him, for Jehovah thy God hath hardened his spirit,  and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into thy hand as  at this day. 
05O 002:031 `And Jehovah saith unto me, See, I have begun to give  before thee Sihon and his land; begin to possess -- to possess  his land. 
05O 002:032 `And Sihon cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to  battle to Jahaz; 
05O 002:033 and Jehovah our God giveth him before us, and we smite him,  and his sons, and all his people; 
05O 002:034 and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the  whole city, men, and the women, and the infants -- we have not  left a remnant; 
05O 002:035 only, the cattle we have spoiled for ourselves, and the  spoil of the cities which we have captured. 
05O 002:036 `From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, and  the city which [is] by the brook, even unto Gilead there hath  not been a city which [is] too high for us; the whole hath  Jehovah our God given before us. 
05O 002:037 `Only, unto the land of the sons of Ammon thou hast not  drawn near, any part of the brook Jabbok, and cities of the  hill-country, and anything which Jehovah our God hath [not]  commanded. 
05O 003:001 `And we turn, and go up the way to Bashan, and Og king of  Bashan cometh out to meet us, he and all his people, to battle,  [to] Edrei. 
05O 003:002 `And Jehovah saith unto me, Fear him not, for into thy hand  I have given him, and all his people, and his land, and thou  hast done to him as thou hast done to Sihon king of the Amorite  who is dwelling in Heshbon. 
05O 003:003 `And Jehovah our God giveth into our hands also Og king of  Bashan, and all his people, and we smite him till there hath  not been left to him a remnant; 
05O 003:004 and we capture all his cities at that time, there hath not  been a city which we have not taken from them, sixty cities,  all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan. 
05O 003:005 All these [are] cities fenced with high walls, two-leaved  doors and bar, apart from cities of villages very many; 
05O 003:006 and we devote them, as we have done to Sihon king of  Heshbon, devoting every city, men, the women, and the infants; 
05O 003:007 and all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we have  spoiled for ourselves. 
05O 003:008 `And we take, at that time, the land out of the hand of the  two kings of the Amorite, which is beyond the Jordan, from the  brook Arnon unto mount Hermon; 
05O 003:009 (Sidonians call Hermon, Sirion; and the Amorites call it  Senir,) 
05O 003:010 all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all  Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in  Bashan, 
05O 003:011 for only Og king of Bashan had been left of the remnant of  the Rephaim; lo, his bedstead [is] a bedstead of iron; is it  not in Rabbath of the sons of Ammon? nine cubits its length,  and four cubits its breadth, by the cubit of a man. 
05O 003:012 `And this land we have possessed, at that time; from Aroer,  which [is] by the brook Arnon, and the half of mount Gilead,  and its cities, I have given to the Reubenite, and to the  Gadite; 
05O 003:013 and the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I  have given to the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of  Argob, to all that Bashan, called the land of Rephaim. 
05O 003:014 `Jair son of Manasseh hath taken all the region of Argob,  unto the border of Geshuri, and Maachathi, and calleth them by  his own name, Bashan-Havoth-Jair, unto this day. 
05O 003:015 And to Machir I have given Gilead. 
05O 003:016 `And to the Reubenite and to the Gadite I have given from  Gilead even unto the brook Arnon, the middle of the valley and  the border, even unto Jabbok the brook, the border of the sons  of Ammon, 
05O 003:017 and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border, from  Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, the salt sea, under  the springs of Pisgah, at the [sun]-rising. 
05O 003:018 `And I command you, at that time, saying, Jehovah your God  hath given to you this land to possess it; armed ye pass over  before your brethren the sons of Israel, all the sons of might. 
05O 003:019 Only, your wives, and your infants, and your cattle -- I  have known that ye have much cattle -- do dwell in your cities  which I have given to you, 
05O 003:020 till that Jehovah give rest to your brethren like  yourselves, and they also have possessed the land which Jehovah  your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan, then ye have  turned back each to his possession, which I have given to you. 
05O 003:021 `And Jehoshua I have commanded at that time, saying, Thine  eyes are seeing all that which Jehovah your God hath done to  these two kings -- so doth Jehovah to all the kingdoms whither  thou are passing over; 
05O 003:022 fear them not, for Jehovah your God, He is fighting for  you. 
05O 003:023 `And I entreat for grace unto Jehovah, at that time,  saying, 
05O 003:024 Lord Jehovah, Thou -- Thou hast begun to shew Thy servant  Thy greatness, and Thy strong hand; for who [is] a God in the  heavens or in earth who doth according to Thy works, and  according to Thy might? 
05O 003:025 Let me pass over, I pray Thee, and see the good land which  [is] beyond the Jordan, this good hill-country, and Lebanon. 
05O 003:026 `And Jehovah sheweth himself wroth with me, for your sake,  and hath not hearkened unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me,  Enough for thee; add not to speak unto Me any more about this  thing: 
05O 003:027 go up [to] the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes  westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and see  with thine eyes -- for thou dost not pass over this Jordan; 
05O 003:028 and charge Jehoshua, and strengthen him, and harden him,  for he doth pass over before this people, and he doth cause  them to inherit the land which thou seest. 
05O 003:029 `And we dwell in a valley over-against Beth-Peor. 
05O 004:001 `And now, Israel, hearken unto the statutes, and unto the  judgments which I am teaching you to do, so that ye live, and  have gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah God of your  fathers is giving to you. 
05O 004:002 Ye do not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor  diminish from it, to keep the commands of Jehovah your God  which I am commanding you. 
05O 004:003 `Your eyes are seeing that which Jehovah hath done in  Baal-Peor, for every man who hath gone after Baal-Peor, Jehovah  thy God hath destroyed him from thy midst; 
05O 004:004 and ye who are cleaving to Jehovah your God, [are] alive,  all of you, to-day. 
05O 004:005 `See, I have taught you statutes and judgments, as Jehovah  my God hath commanded me -- to do so, in the midst of the land  whither ye are going in to possess it; 
05O 004:006 and ye have kept and done [them] (for it [is] your wisdom  and your understanding) before the eyes of the peoples who hear  all these statutes, and they have said, Only, a people wise and  understanding [is] this great nation. 
05O 004:007 `For which [is] the great nation that hath God near unto it,  as Jehovah our God, in all we have called unto him? 
05O 004:008 and which [is] the great nation which hath righteous  statutes and judgments according to all this law which I am  setting before you to-day? 
05O 004:009 `Only, take heed to thyself, and watch thy soul exceedingly,  lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and  lest they turn aside from thy heart, all days of thy life; and  thou hast made them known to thy sons, and to thy sons' sons. 
05O 004:010 `The day when thou hast stood before Jehovah thy God in  Horeb -- in Jehovah's saying unto me, Assemble to Me the  people, and I cause them to hear My words, so that they learn  to fear Me all the days that they are alive on the ground, and  their sons they teach; -- 
05O 004:011 and ye draw near and stand under the mountain, and the  mountain is burning with fire unto the heart of the heavens --  darkness, cloud, yea, thick darkness: 
05O 004:012 `And Jehovah speaketh unto you out of the midst of the  fire; a voice of words ye are hearing and a similitude ye are  not seeing, only a voice; 
05O 004:013 and He declareth to you His covenant, which He hath  commanded you to do, the Ten Matters, and He writeth them upon  two tables of stone. 
05O 004:014 `And me hath Jehovah commanded at that time to teach you  statutes and judgments, for your doing them in the land whither  ye are passing over to possess it; 
05O 004:015 and ye have been very watchful of your souls, for ye have  not seen any similitude in the day of Jehovah's speaking unto  you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 
05O 004:016 lest ye do corruptly, and have made to you a graven image,  a similitude of any figure, a form of male or female -- 
05O 004:017 a form of any beast which [is] in the earth -- a form of  any winged bird which flieth in the heavens -- 
05O 004:018 a form of any creeping thing on the ground -- a form of any  fish which [is] in the waters under the earth; 
05O 004:019 `And lest thou lift up thine eyes towards the heavens, and  hast seen the sun, and the moon, and the stars, all the host of  the heavens, and thou hast been forced, and hast bowed thyself  to them, and served them, which Jehovah thy God hath  apportioned to all the peoples under the whole heavens. 
05O 004:020 `And you hath Jehovah taken, and He is bringing you out  from the iron furnace, from Egypt, to be to Him for a people --  an inheritance, as [at] this day. 
05O 004:021 `And Jehovah hath shewed himself wroth with me because of  your words, and sweareth to my not passing over the Jordan, and  to my not going in unto the good land which Jehovah thy God is  giving to thee -- an inheritance; 
05O 004:022 for I am dying in this land; I am not passing over the  Jordan, and ye are passing over, and have possessed this good  land. 
05O 004:023 `Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of  Jehovah your God, which He hath made with you, and have made to  yourselves a graven image, a similitude of anything  [concerning] which Jehovah thy God hath charged thee: 
05O 004:024 for Jehovah thy God is a fire consuming -- a zealous God. 
05O 004:025 `When thou begettest sons and sons' sons, and ye have  become old in the land, and have done corruptly, and have made  a graven image, a similitude of anything, and have done the  evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger: -- 
05O 004:026 I have caused to testify against you this day the heavens  and the earth, that ye do perish utterly hastily from off the  land whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it; ye  do not prolong days upon it, but are utterly destroyed; 
05O 004:027 and Jehovah hath scattered you among the peoples, and ye  have been left few in number among the nations, whither Jehovah  leadeth you, 
05O 004:028 and ye have served there gods, work of man's hands, wood  and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 
05O 004:029 `And -- ye have sought from thence Jehovah thy God, and  hast found, when thou seekest Him with all thy heart, and with  all thy soul, 
05O 004:030 in distress [being] to thee, and all these things have  found thee, in the latter end of the days, and thou hast turned  back unto Jehovah thy God, and hast hearkened to His voice; 
05O 004:031 for a merciful God [is] Jehovah thy God; He doth not fail  thee, nor destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers,  which He hath sworn to them. 
05O 004:032 `For, ask, I pray thee, at the former days which have been  before thee, from the day that God prepared man on the earth,  and from the [one] end of the heavens even unto the [other] end  of the heavens, whether there hath been as this great thing --  or hath been heard like it? 
05O 004:033 Hath a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the  midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, thou -- and doth live? 
05O 004:034 Or hath God tried to go in to take to Himself, a nation  from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by  wonders, and by war, and by a strong hand, and by a  stretched-out arm, and by great terrors -- according to all  that Jehovah your God hath done to you, in Egypt, before your  eyes? 
05O 004:035 Thou, thou hast been shewn [it], to know that Jehovah He  [is] God; there is none else besides Him. 
05O 004:036 `From the heavens He hath caused thee to hear His voice, to  instruct thee, and on earth He hath shewed thee His great fire,  and His words thou hast heard out of the midst of the fire. 
05O 004:037 `And because that He hath loved thy fathers, He doth also  fix on their seed after them, and doth bring thee out, in His  presence, by His great power, from Egypt: 
05O 004:038 to dispossess nations greater and stronger than thou, from  thy presence, to bring thee in to give to thee their land -- an  inheritance, as [at] this day. 
05O 004:039 `And thou hast known to-day, and hast turned [it] back unto  thy heart, that Jehovah He [is] God, in the heavens above, and  on the earth beneath -- there is none else; 
05O 004:040 and thou hast kept His statutes and His commands which I am  commanding thee to-day, so that it is well to thee, and to thy  sons after thee, and so that thou prolongest days on the ground  which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- all the days.' 
05O 004:041 Then Moses separateth three cities beyond the Jordan,  towards the sun-rising, 
05O 004:042 for the fleeing thither of the man-slayer, who slayeth his  neighbour unknowingly, and he is not hating him heretofore, and  he hath fled unto one of these cities, and he hath lived: 
05O 004:043 Bezer, in the wilderness, in the land of the plain, of the  Reubenite; and Ramoth, in Gilead, of the Gadite; and Golan, in  Bashan, of the Manassahite. 
05O 004:044 And this [is] the law which Moses hath set before the sons  of Israel; 
05O 004:045 these [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the  judgments, which Moses hath spoken unto the sons of Israel, in  their coming out of Egypt, 
05O 004:046 beyond the Jordan, in the valley over-against Beth-Peor, in  the land of Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in  Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel have smitten, in  their coming out of Egypt, 
05O 004:047 and they possess his land, and the land of Og king of  Bashan, two kings of the Amorite who [are] beyond the Jordan,  [towards] the sun-rising; 
05O 004:048 from Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the brook Arnon, even  unto mount Sion, which [is] Hermon -- 
05O 004:049 and all the plain beyond the Jordan eastward, even unto the  sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah. 
05O 005:001 And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them,  `Hear, Israel, the statutes and the judgments which I am  speaking in your ears to-day, and ye have learned them, and  have observed to do them. 
05O 005:002 Jehovah our God made with us a covenant in Horeb; 
05O 005:003 not with our fathers hath Jehovah made this covenant, but  with us; we -- these -- here to-day -- all of us alive. 
05O 005:004 Face to face hath Jehovah spoken with you, in the mount, out  of the midst of the fire; 
05O 005:005 I am standing between Jehovah and you, at that time, to  declare to you the word of Jehovah, for ye have been afraid  from the presence of the fire, and ye have not gone up into the  mount; saying: 
05O 005:006 `I Jehovah [am] thy God, who hath brought thee out from the  land of Egypt, from a house of servants. 
05O 005:007 `Thou hast no other gods in My presence. 
05O 005:008 `Thou dost not make to thee a graven image, any similitude  which [is] in the heavens above, and which [is] in the earth  beneath, and which [is] in the waters under the earth; 
05O 005:009 thou dost not bow thyself to them nor serve them, for I  Jehovah thy God [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of  fathers on children, and on a third [generation], and on a  fourth, to those hating Me; 
05O 005:010 and doing kindness to thousands, to those loving Me, and to  those keeping My commands. 
05O 005:011 `Thou dost not take up the Name of Jehovah thy God for a  vain thing, for Jehovah doth not acquit him who taketh up His  Name for a vain thing. 
05O 005:012 `Observe the day of the sabbath -- to sanctify it, as  Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee; 
05O 005:013 six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy work, 
05O 005:014 and the seventh day [is] a sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou  dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and  thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thine ox, and thine ass,  and all thy cattle, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy  gates; so that thy man-servant, and thy handmaid doth rest  like thyself; 
05O 005:015 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in  the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God is bringing thee out  thence by a strong hand, and by a stretched-out arm; therefore  hath Jehovah thy God commanded thee to keep the day of the  sabbath. 
05O 005:016 `Honour thy father and thy mother, as Jehovah thy God hath  commanded thee, so that thy days are prolonged, and so that it  is well with thee, on the ground which Jehovah thy God is  giving to thee. 
05O 005:017 `Thou dost not murder. 
05O 005:018 `Thou dost not commit adultery. 
05O 005:019 `Thou dost not steal. 
05O 005:020 `Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour -- a false  testimony. 
05O 005:021 `Thou dost not desire thy neighbour's wife; nor dost thou  covet thy neighbour's house, his field, and his man-servant,  and his handmaid, his ox, and his ass, and anything which [is]  thy neighbour's. 
05O 005:022 `These words hath Jehovah spoken unto all your assembly, in  the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of  the thick darkness -- a great voice; and He hath not added, and  He writeth them on two tables of stone, and giveth them unto  me. 
05O 005:023 `And it cometh to pass as ye hear the voice out of the  midst of the darkness, and of the mountain burning with fire,  that ye come near unto me, all the heads of your tribes, and  your elders, 
05O 005:024 and say, Lo, Jehovah our God hath shewed us His honour, and  His greatness; and His voice we have heard out of the midst of  the fire; this day we have seen that God doth speak with man --  and he hath lived. 
05O 005:025 `And, now, why do we die? for consume us doth this great  fire -- if we add to hear the voice of Jehovah our God any more  -- then we have died. 
05O 005:026 For who of all flesh [is] he who hath heard the voice of  the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire like us --  and doth live? 
05O 005:027 Draw near thou, and hear all that which Jehovah our God  saith, and thou, thou dost speak unto us all that which Jehovah  our God speaketh unto thee, and we have hearkened, and done it. 
05O 005:028 `And Jehovah heareth the voice of your words, in your  speaking unto me, and Jehovah saith unto me, I have heard the  voice of the words of this people which they have spoken unto  thee; they have done well [in] all that they have spoken. 
05O 005:029 O that their heart had been thus to them, to fear Me, and  to keep My commands all the days, that it may be well with  them, and with their sons -- to the age! 
05O 005:030 `Go, say to them, Turn back for yourselves, to your tents; 
05O 005:031 and thou here stand thou with Me, and let Me speak unto  thee all the command, and the statutes, and the judgments which  thou dost teach them, and they have done in the land which I am  giving to them to possess it. 
05O 005:032 `And ye have observed to do as Jehovah your God hath  commanded you, ye turn not aside -- right or left; 
05O 005:033 in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you ye  walk, so that ye live, and [it is] well with you, and ye have  prolonged days in the land which ye possess. 
05O 006:001 `And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments  which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in  the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it, 
05O 006:002 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His  statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou,  and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so  that thy days are prolonged. 
05O 006:003 `And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it  may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply  exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to  thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey. 
05O 006:004 `Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah; 
05O 006:005 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and  with all thy soul, and with all thy might, 
05O 006:006 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been  on thine heart, 
05O 006:007 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them  in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way,  and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up, 
05O 006:008 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have  been for frontlets between thine eyes, 
05O 006:009 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and  on thy gates. 
05O 006:010 `And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in  unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham,  to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee -- cities great and  good, which thou hast not built, 
05O 006:011 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not  filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards  and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast  eaten, and been satisfied; 
05O 006:012 `Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath  brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of  servants; 
05O 006:013 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve,  and by His name thou dost swear; 
05O 006:014 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples  who [are] round about you; 
05O 006:015 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst -- lest  the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath  destroyed thee from off the face of the ground. 
05O 006:016 `Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah; 
05O 006:017 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and  His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee, 
05O 006:018 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes  of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in  and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy  fathers, 
05O 006:019 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as  Jehovah hath spoken. 
05O 006:020 `When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the  testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah  our God hath commanded you? 
05O 006:021 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to  Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a  high hand; 
05O 006:022 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on  Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes; 
05O 006:023 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in,  to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers. 
05O 006:024 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear  Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us  alive, as [at] this day; 
05O 006:025 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all  this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us. 
05O 007:001 `When Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land  whither thou art going in to possess it, and He hath cast out  many nations from thy presence, the Hittite, and the  Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the  Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more  numerous and mighty than thou, 
05O 007:002 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and thou  hast smitten them -- thou dost utterly devote them -- thou dost  not make with them a covenant, nor dost thou favour them. 
05O 007:003 `And thou dost not join in marriage with them; thy daughter  thou dost not give to his son, and his daughter thou dost not  take to thy son, 
05O 007:004 for he doth turn aside thy son from after Me, and they have  served other gods, and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against  you, and hath destroyed thee hastily. 
05O 007:005 `But thus thou dost to them: their altars ye break down, and  their standing pillars ye shiver, and their shrines ye cut  down, and their graven images ye burn with fire; 
05O 007:006 for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God; on thee  hath Jehovah thy God fixed, to be to Him for a peculiar people,  out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground. 
05O 007:007 `Not because of your being more numerous than any of the  peoples hath Jehovah delighted in you, and fixeth on you, for  ye [are] the least of all the peoples, 
05O 007:008 but because of Jehovah's loving you, and because of His  keeping the oath which He hath sworn to your fathers, hath  Jehovah brought you out by a strong hand, and doth ransom you  from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of  Egypt. 
05O 007:009 `And thou hast known that Jehovah thy God He [is] God, the  faithful God, keeping the covenant, and the kindness, to those  loving Him, and to those keeping His commands -- to a thousand  generations, 
05O 007:010 and repaying to those hating Him, unto their face, to  destroy them; He delayeth not to him who is hating Him -- unto  his face, He repayeth to him -- 
05O 007:011 and thou hast kept the command, and the statutes, and the  judgments, which I am commanding thee to-day to do them. 
05O 007:012 `And it hath been, because ye hear these judgments, and  have kept, and done them, that Jehovah thy God hath kept to  thee the covenant and the kindness which He hath sworn to thy  fathers, 
05O 007:013 and hath loved thee, and blessed thee, and multiplied thee,  and hath blessed the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy  ground, thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil, the increase  of thine oxen, and the wealth of thy flock, on the ground which  He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee. 
05O 007:014 `Blessed art thou above all the peoples, there is not in  thee a barren man or a barren woman -- nor among your cattle; 
05O 007:015 and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee every sickness, and  none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou hast known) doth  He put on thee, and He hath put them on all hating thee. 
05O 007:016 `And thou hast consumed all the peoples whom Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee; thine eye hath no pity on them, and thou  dost not serve their gods, for a snare it [is] to thee. 
05O 007:017 `When thou sayest in thine heart, These nations [are] more  numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them? -- 
05O 007:018 thou art not afraid of them; thou dost surely remember that  which Jehovah thy God hath done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt, 
05O 007:019 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, and the signs,  and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched-out  arm, with which Jehovah thy God hath brought thee out; so doth  Jehovah thy God to all the peoples of whose presence thou art  afraid. 
05O 007:020 `And also the locust doth Jehovah thy God send among them,  till the destruction of those who are left, and of those who  are hidden from thy presence; 
05O 007:021 thou art not terrified by their presence, for Jehovah thy  God [is] in thy midst, a God great and fearful. 
05O 007:022 `And Jehovah thy God hath cast out these nations from thy  presence little [by] little, (thou art not able to consume them  hastily, lest the beast of the field multiply against thee), 
05O 007:023 and Jehovah thy God hath given them before thee, and  destroyed them -- a great destruction -- till their  destruction; 
05O 007:024 and He hath given their kings into thy hand, and thou hast  destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man doth  station himself in thy presence till thou hast destroyed them. 
05O 007:025 `The graven images of their gods ye do burn with fire; thou  dost not desire the silver and gold on them, nor hast thou  taken [it] to thyself, lest thou be snared by it, for the  abomination of Jehovah thy God it [is]; 
05O 007:026 and thou dost not bring in an abomination unto thy house --  or thou hast been devoted like it; -- thou dost utterly detest  it, and thou dost utterly abominate it; for it [is] devoted. 
05O 008:001 `All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye  observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone  in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your  fathers; 
05O 008:002 and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God  hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in  order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in  thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not. 
05O 008:003 `And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth  cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even  thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know  that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of  the mouth of Jehovah man doth live. 
05O 008:004 `Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot  hath not swelled these forty years, 
05O 008:005 and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man  chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee, 
05O 008:006 and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk  in His ways, and to fear Him. 
05O 008:007 `For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a  land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming  out in valley and in mountain: 
05O 008:008 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and  pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey; 
05O 008:009 a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou  dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron,  and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass; 
05O 008:010 and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed  Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee. 
05O 008:011 `Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so  as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes  which I am commanding thee to-day; 
05O 008:012 lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses  dost build, and hast inhabited; 
05O 008:013 and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and  gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be  multiplied: 
05O 008:014 `And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten  Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt,  out of a house of servants; 
05O 008:015 who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible  wilderness -- burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst --  where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters  from the flinty rock; 
05O 008:016 who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which  thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in  order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end), 
05O 008:017 and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of  my hand, hath made for me this wealth: 
05O 008:018 `And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is]  who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to  establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as  [at] this day. 
05O 008:019 `And it hath been -- if thou really forget Jehovah thy God,  and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed  thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do  utterly perish; 
05O 008:020 as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your  presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of  Jehovah your God. 
05O 009:001 `Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to  go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself;  cities great and fenced in the heavens; 
05O 009:002 a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou -- thou  hast known, (and thou -- thou hast heard: Who doth station  himself before sons of Anak?) 
05O 009:003 and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who  is passing over before thee -- a fire consuming; He doth  destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou  hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah  hath spoken to thee. 
05O 009:004 `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God's  driving them away from before thee), saying, For my  righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land,  seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah  dispossessing them from thy presence; 
05O 009:005 not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy  heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the  wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing  them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which  Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to  Jacob; 
05O 009:006 and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is  Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it,  for a people stiff of neck thou [art]. 
05O 009:007 `Remember -- do not forget -- that [with] which thou hast  made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day  that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming  in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah; 
05O 009:008 even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah  sheweth Himself angry against you -- to destroy you. 
05O 009:009 `In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of  stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with  you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights;  bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk; 
05O 009:010 and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written  with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words  which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the  midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly. 
05O 009:011 `And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty  nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone --  tables of the covenant, 
05O 009:012 and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this,  for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out  of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I  have commanded them -- they have made to themselves a molten  thing! 
05O 009:013 `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this  people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is]; 
05O 009:014 desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name  from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more  mighty and numerous than it. 
05O 009:015 `And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is  burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two  hands, 
05O 009:016 and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God;  ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside  hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you. 
05O 009:017 `And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my  two hands, and break them before your eyes, 
05O 009:018 and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days  and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not  drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing  the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry. 
05O 009:019 `For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury  with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you;  and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time. 
05O 009:020 `And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to  destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time; 
05O 009:021 and your sin, which ye have made -- the calf -- I have  taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till  that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook  which is going down out of the mount. 
05O 009:022 `And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah,  ye have been making Jehovah wroth: 
05O 009:023 and in Jehovah's sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go  up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye  provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given  credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice; 
05O 009:024 rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing  you. 
05O 009:025 `And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the  forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said --  to destroy you; 
05O 009:026 and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not  Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in  Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a  strong hand; 
05O 009:027 be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of  Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its  wickedness, and unto its sin; 
05O 009:028 lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out,  Because of Jehovah's want of ability to bring them in unto the  land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating  them, He brought them out to put them to death in the  wilderness; 
05O 009:029 and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou  hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out  arm! 
05O 010:001 `At that time hath Jehovah said unto me, Grave for thee two  tables of stone, like the first, and come up unto Me, into the  mount, and thou hast made for thee an ark of wood, 
05O 010:002 and I write on the tables the words which were on the first  tables, which thou hast broken, and thou hast placed them in  the ark; 
05O 010:003 and I make an ark of shittim wood, and grave two tables of  stone like the first, and go up to the mount, and the two  tables in my hand. 
05O 010:004 `And He writeth on the tables, according to the first  writing, the Ten Matters, which Jehovah hath spoken unto you in  the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the  assembly, and Jehovah giveth them unto me, 
05O 010:005 and I turn and come down from the mount, and put the tables  in the ark which I had made, and they are there, as Jehovah  commanded me. 
05O 010:006 `And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the  sons of Jaakan to Mosera, there Aaron died, and he is buried  there, and Eleazar his son doth act as priest in his stead; 
05O 010:007 thence they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to  Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water. 
05O 010:008 `At that time hath Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to  bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before  Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day, 
05O 010:009 therefore there hath not been to Levi a portion and  inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his  inheritance, as Jehovah thy God hath spoken to him. 
05O 010:010 `And I -- I have stood in the mount, as the former days,  forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto me  also at that time; Jehovah hath not willed to destroy thee. 
05O 010:011 `And Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go to journey before the  people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn  to their fathers to give to them. 
05O 010:012 `And now, Israel, what is Jehovah thy God asking from  thee, except to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all His ways,  and to love Him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy  heart, and with all thy soul, 
05O 010:013 to keep the commands of Jehovah, and His statutes which I  am commanding thee to-day, for good to thee? 
05O 010:014 `Lo, to Jehovah thy God [are] the heavens and the heavens  of the heavens, the earth and all that [is] in it; 
05O 010:015 only in thy fathers hath Jehovah delighted -- to love  them, and He doth fix on their seed after them -- on you, out  of all the peoples as [at] this day; 
05O 010:016 and ye have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and  your neck ye do not harden any more; 
05O 010:017 for Jehovah your God -- He [is] God of the gods, and Lord  of the lords; God, the great, the mighty, and the fearful; who  accepteth not persons, nor taketh a bribe; 
05O 010:018 He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and  loving the sojourner, to give to him bread and raiment. 
05O 010:019 `And ye have loved the sojourner, for sojourners ye were  in the land of Egypt. 
05O 010:020 `Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, Him thou dost serve, and  to Him thou dost cleave, and by His name thou dost swear. 
05O 010:021 He [is] thy praise, and He [is] thy God, who hath done  with thee these great and fearful [things] which thine eyes  have seen: 
05O 010:022 with seventy persons did thy fathers go down to Egypt, and  now hath Jehovah thy God made thee as stars of the heavens for  multitude. 
05O 011:001 `And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge,  and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the  days; 
05O 011:002 and ye have known to-day -- for it is not your sons who  have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of  Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His  stretched-out arm, 
05O 011:003 and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the  midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land; 
05O 011:004 and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its  horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of  the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after  them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day; 
05O 011:005 and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till  your coming in unto this place; 
05O 011:006 and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons  of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth  and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all  that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all  Israel: 
05O 011:007 `-- But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great  work of Jehovah, which He hath done; 
05O 011:008 and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee  to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed  the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, 
05O 011:009 and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah  hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed --  a land flowing with milk and honey. 
05O 011:010 `For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is  not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou  sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of  the green herb; 
05O 011:011 but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,  [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it  drinketh water; 
05O 011:012 a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually  [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning  of the year even unto the latter end of the year. 
05O 011:013 `And it hath been -- if thou hearken diligently unto My  commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your  God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your  soul -- 
05O 011:014 that I have given the rain of your land in its season --  sprinkling and gathered -- and thou hast gathered thy corn, and  thy new wine, and thine oil, 
05O 011:015 and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and  thou hast eaten, and been satisfied. 
05O 011:016 `Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and  ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed  yourselves to them, 
05O 011:017 and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He  hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the  ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily  from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you. 
05O 011:018 `And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on  your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and  they have been for frontlets between your eyes; 
05O 011:019 and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them  in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and  in thy lying down, and in thy rising up, 
05O 011:020 and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and  on thy gates, 
05O 011:021 so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your  sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to  give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth. 
05O 011:022 `For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am  commanding you -- to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk  in all His ways, and to cleave to Him, 
05O 011:023 then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from  before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier  than you; 
05O 011:024 every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is  yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the  river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border; 
05O 011:025 no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread  and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the  land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you. 
05O 011:026 `See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a  reviling: 
05O 011:027 the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah  your God, which I am commanding you to-day; 
05O 011:028 and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands  of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which  I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye  have not known. 
05O 011:029 `And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in  unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that  thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling  on mount Ebal; 
05O 011:030 are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the  going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is  dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of  Moreh? 
05O 011:031 for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the  land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have  possessed it, and dwelt in it, 
05O 011:032 and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments  which I am setting before you to day. 
05O 012:001 `These [are] the statutes and the judgments which ye  observe to do in the land which Jehovah, God of thy fathers,  hath given to thee to possess it, all the days that ye are  living on the ground: 
05O 012:002 ye do utterly destroy all the places where the nations  which ye are dispossessing served their gods, on the high  mountains, and on the heights, and under every green tree; 
05O 012:003 and ye have broken down their altars, and shivered their  standing pillars, and their shrines ye burn with fire, and  graven images of their gods ye cut down, and have destroyed  their name out of that place. 
05O 012:004 `Ye do not do so to Jehovah your God; 
05O 012:005 but unto the place which Jehovah your God doth choose out  of all your tribes to put His name there, to His tabernacle ye  seek, and thou hast entered thither, 
05O 012:006 and hast brought in thither your burnt-offerings, and your  sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your  hand, and your vows, and your free-will offerings, and the  firstlings of your herd and of your flock; 
05O 012:007 and ye have eaten there before Jehovah your God, and have  rejoiced in every putting forth of your hand, ye and your  households, with which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee. 
05O 012:008 `Ye do not do according to all that we are doing here  to-day, each anything that is right in his own eyes, 
05O 012:009 for ye have not come in hitherto unto the rest, and unto  the inheritance, which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee; 
05O 012:010 and ye have passed over the Jordan, and have dwelt in the  land which Jehovah your God is causing you to inherit, and He  hath given rest to you from all your enemies round about, and  ye have dwelt confidently: 
05O 012:011 `And it hath been, the place on which Jehovah your God  doth fix to cause His name to tabernacle there, thither ye  bring in all that which I am commanding you, your  burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the  heave-offering of your hand, and all the choice of your vows  which ye vow to Jehovah; 
05O 012:012 and ye have rejoiced before Jehovah your God, ye, and your  sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your  handmaids, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, for he  hath no part and inheritance with you. 
05O 012:013 `Take heed to thee, lest thou cause thy burnt-offerings to  ascend in any place which thou seest, 
05O 012:014 except in the place which Jehovah doth choose in one of  thy tribes, there thou dost cause thy burnt-offerings to  ascend, and there thou dost do all that which I am commanding  thee. 
05O 012:015 `Only, with all the desire of thy soul thou dost  sacrifice, and hast eaten flesh according to the blessing of  Jehovah thy God which He hath given to thee, in all thy gates;  the unclean and the clean do eat it, as of the roe, and as of  the hart. 
05O 012:016 `Only, the blood ye do not eat -- on the earth thou dost  pour it as water; 
05O 012:017 thou art not able to eat within thy gates the tithe of thy  corn, and of thy new wine, and thine oil, and the firstlings of  thy herd and of thy flock, and any of thy vows which thou  vowest, and thy free-will offerings, and heave-offering of thy  hand; 
05O 012:018 but before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it, in the place  which Jehovah thy God doth fix on, thou, and thy son, and thy  daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the  Levite who [is] within thy gates, and thou hast rejoiced before  Jehovah thy God in every putting forth of thy hand; 
05O 012:019 take heed to thee lest thou forsake the Levite all thy  days on thy ground. 
05O 012:020 `When Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath  spoken to thee, and thou hast said, Let me eat flesh -- for thy  soul desireth to eat flesh -- of all the desire of thy soul  thou dost eat flesh. 
05O 012:021 `When the place is far from thee which Jehovah thy God  doth choose to put His name there, then thou hast sacrificed of  thy herd and of thy flock which Jehovah hath given to thee, as  I have commanded thee, and hast eaten within thy gates, of all  the desire of thy soul; 
05O 012:022 only, as the roe and the hart is eaten, so dost thou eat  it; the unclean and the clean doth alike eat it. 
05O 012:023 `Only, be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood [is]  the life, and thou dost not eat the life with the flesh; 
05O 012:024 thou dost not eat it, on the earth thou dost pour it as  water; 
05O 012:025 thou dost not eat it, in order that it may be well with  thee, and with thy sons after thee, when thou dost that which  [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah. 
05O 012:026 `Only, thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou  dost take up, and hast gone in unto the place which Jehovah  doth choose, 
05O 012:027 and thou hast made thy burnt-offerings -- the flesh and  the blood -- on the altar of Jehovah thy God; and the blood of  thy sacrifices is poured out by the altar of Jehovah thy God,  and the flesh thou dost eat. 
05O 012:028 Observe, and thou hast obeyed all these words which I am  commanding thee, in order that it may be well with thee and  with thy sons after thee -- to the age, when thou dost that  which [is] good and right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God. 
05O 012:029 `When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations -- whither  thou art going in to possess them -- from thy presence, and  thou hast possessed them, and hast dwelt in their land -- 
05O 012:030 take heed to thee, lest thou be snared after them, after  their being destroyed out of thy presence, and lest thou  enquire about their gods, saying, How do these nations serve  their gods, and I do so -- even I? 
05O 012:031 `Thou dost not do so to Jehovah thy God; for every  abomination of Jehovah which He is hating they have done to  their gods, for even their sons and their daughters they burn  with fire to their gods. 
05O 012:032 The whole thing which I am commanding you -- it ye observe  to do; thou dost not add unto it, nor diminish from it. 
05O 013:001 `When there ariseth in your midst a prophet, or a dreamer  of a dream, and he hath given unto thee a sign or wonder, 
05O 013:002 and the sign and the wonder hath come which he hath spoken  of unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods (which thou  hast not known), and serve them, 
05O 013:003 thou dost not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or  unto that dreamer of the dream, for Jehovah your God is trying  you, to know whether ye are loving Jehovah your God with all  your heart, and with all your soul; 
05O 013:004 after Jehovah your God ye walk, and Him ye fear, and His  commands ye keep, and to His voice ye hearken, and Him ye  serve, and to Him ye cleave. 
05O 013:005 `And that prophet, or that dreamer of the dream, is put to  death, for he hath spoken apostacy against Jehovah your God  (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and hath  ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of  the way in which Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee to walk,  and thou hast put away the evil thing from thy midst. 
05O 013:006 `When thy brother -- son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy  daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who [is] as  thine own soul -- doth move thee, in secret, saying, Let us go  and serve other gods -- (which thou hast not known, thou and  thy fathers, 
05O 013:007 of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you, who  are near unto thee, or who are far off from thee, from the end  of the earth even unto the end of the earth) -- 
05O 013:008 thou dost not consent to him, nor hearken unto him, nor  doth thine eye have pity on him, nor dost thou spare, nor dost  thou cover him over. 
05O 013:009 `But thou dost surely kill him; thy hand is on him, in the  first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the  people last; 
05O 013:010 and thou hast stoned him with stones, and he hath died,  for he hath sought to drive thee away from Jehovah thy God, who  is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of  servants; 
05O 013:011 and all Israel do hear and fear, and add not to do like  this evil thing in thy midst. 
05O 013:012 `When thou hearest, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee to dwell there, [one] saying, 
05O 013:013 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of thy midst,  and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let  us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known -- 
05O 013:014 and thou hast enquired, and searched, and asked  diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this  abomination hath been done in thy midst: 
05O 013:015 `Thou dost surely smite the inhabitants of that city by  the mouth of the sword; devoting it, and all that [is] in it,  even its cattle, by the mouth of the sword; 
05O 013:016 and all its spoil thou dost gather unto the midst of its  broad place, and hast burned with fire the city and all its  spoil completely, before Jehovah thy God, and it hath been a  heap age-during, it is not built any more; 
05O 013:017 and there doth not cleave to thy hand any of the devoted  thing, so that Jehovah doth turn back from the fierceness of  His anger, and hath given to thee mercies, and loved thee, and  multiplied thee, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, 
05O 013:018 when thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to  keep all his commands which I am commanding thee to-day, to do  that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God. 
05O 014:001 `Sons ye [are] to Jehovah your God; ye do not cut  yourselves, nor make baldness between your eyes for the dead; 
05O 014:002 for a holy people [art] thou to Jehovah thy God, and on  thee hath Jehovah fixed to be to Him for a people, a peculiar  treasure, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the  ground. 
05O 014:003 `Thou dost not eat any abominable thing; 
05O 014:004 `this [is] the beast which ye do eat: ox, lamb of the  sheep, or kid of the goats, 
05O 014:005 hart, and roe, and fallow deer, and wild goat, and pygarg,  and wild ox, and chamois; 
05O 014:006 and every beast dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft  into two hoofs, bringing up the cud, among the beasts -- it ye  do eat. 
05O 014:007 `Only, this ye do not eat, of those bringing up the cud,  and of those dividing the cloven hoof: the camel, and the hare,  and the rabbit, for they are bringing up the cud but the hoof  have not divided; unclean they [are] to you; 
05O 014:008 and the sow, for it is dividing the hoof, and not  [bringing] up the cud, unclean it [is] to you; of their flesh  ye do not eat, and against their carcase ye do not come. 
05O 014:009 `This ye do eat of all that [are] in the waters; all that  hath fins and scales ye do eat; 
05O 014:010 and anything which hath not fins and scales ye do not eat;  unclean it [is] to you. 
05O 014:011 `Any clean bird ye do eat; 
05O 014:012 and these [are] they of which ye do not eat: the eagle,  and the ossifrage, and the ospray, 
05O 014:013 and the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after its  kind, 
05O 014:014 and every raven after its kind; 
05O 014:015 and the owl, and the night-hawk, and the cuckoo, and the  hawk after its kind; 
05O 014:016 the [little] owl, and the [great] owl, and the swan, 
05O 014:017 and the pelican, and the gier-eagle, and the cormorant, 
05O 014:018 and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the  lapwing, and the bat; 
05O 014:019 and every teeming thing which is flying, unclean it [is]  to you; they are not eaten; 
05O 014:020 any clean fowl ye do eat. 
05O 014:021 `Ye do not eat of any carcase; to the sojourner who [is]  within thy gates thou dost give it, and he hath eaten it; or  sell [it] to a stranger; for a holy people thou [art] to  Jehovah thy God; thou dost not boil a kid in its mother's milk. 
05O 014:022 `Thou dost certainly tithe all the increase of thy seed  which the field is bringing forth year by year; 
05O 014:023 and thou hast eaten before Jehovah thy God, in the place  where He doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle, the tithe  of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the  firstlings of thy herd, and of thy flock, so that thou dost  learn to fear Jehovah thy God all the days. 
05O 014:024 `And when the way is too much for thee, that thou art not  able to carry it -- when the place is too far off from thee  which Jehovah thy God doth choose to put His name there, when  Jehovah thy God doth bless thee; -- 
05O 014:025 then thou hast given [it] in money, and hast bound up the  money in thy hand, and gone unto the place on which Jehovah thy  God doth fix; 
05O 014:026 and thou hast given the money for any thing which thy soul  desireth, for oxen, and for sheep, and for wine, and for strong  drink, and for any thing which thy soul asketh, and thou hast  eaten there before Jehovah thy God, and thou hast rejoiced,  thou and thy house. 
05O 014:027 As to the Levite who [is] within thy gates, thou dost not  forsake him, for he hath no portion and inheritance with thee. 
05O 014:028 `At the end of three years thou dost bring out all the  tithe of thine increase in that year, and hast placed [it]  within thy gates; 
05O 014:029 and come in hath the Levite (for he hath no part and  inheritance with thee), and the sojourner, and the fatherless,  and the widow, who [are] within thy gates, and they have eaten,  and been satisfied, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in  all the work of thy hand which thou dost. 
05O 015:001 `At the end of seven years thou dost make a release, 
05O 015:002 and this [is] the matter of the release: Every owner of a  loan [is] to release his hand which he doth lift up against his  neighbour, he doth not exact of his neighbour and of his  brother, but hath proclaimed a release to Jehovah; 
05O 015:003 of the stranger thou mayest exact, and that which is thine  with thy brother doth thy hand release; 
05O 015:004 only when there is no needy one with thee, for Jehovah doth  greatly bless thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving  to thee -- an inheritance to possess it. 
05O 015:005 `Only, if thou dost diligently hearken to the voice of  Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all this command which I am  commanding thee to-day, 
05O 015:006 for Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee as He hath spoken to  thee; and thou hast lent [to] many nations, and thou hast not  borrowed; and thou hast ruled over many nations, and over thee  they do not rule. 
05O 015:007 `When there is with thee any needy one of one of thy  brethren, in one of thy cities, in thy land which Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee, thou dost not harden thy heart, nor shut  thy hand from thy needy brother; 
05O 015:008 for thou dost certainly open thy hand to him, and dost  certainly lend him sufficient for his lack which he lacketh. 
05O 015:009 `Take heed to thee lest there be a word in thy heart --  worthless, saying, Near [is] the seventh year, the year of  release; and thine eye is evil against thy needy brother, and  thou dost not give to him, and he hath called concerning thee  unto Jehovah, and it hath been in thee sin; 
05O 015:010 thou dost certainly give to him, and thy heart is not sad  in thy giving to him, for because of this thing doth Jehovah  thy God bless thee in all thy works, and in every putting forth  of thy hand; 
05O 015:011 because the needy one doth not cease out of the land,  therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Thou dost certainly  open thy hand to thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy  one, in thy land. 
05O 015:012 `When thy brother is sold to thee, a Hebrew or a  Hebrewess, and he hath served thee six years -- then in the  seventh year thou dost send him away free from thee. 
05O 015:013 And when thou dost send him away free from thee, thou dost  not send him away empty; 
05O 015:014 thou dost certainly encircle him out of thy flock, and out  of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy wine-vat; [of] that  which Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee thou dost give to him, 
05O 015:015 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in  the land of Egypt, and Jehovah thy God doth ransom thee;  therefore I am commanding thee this thing to-day. 
05O 015:016 `And it hath been, when he saith unto thee, I go not out  from thee -- because he hath loved thee, and thy house, because  [it is] good for him with thee -- 
05O 015:017 then thou hast taken the awl, and hast put [it] through  his ear, and through the door, and he hath been to thee a  servant age-during; and also to thy handmaid thou dost do so. 
05O 015:018 `It is not hard in thine eyes, in thy sending him away  free from thee; for the double of the hire of an hireling he  hath served thee six years, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed  thee in all that thou dost. 
05O 015:019 `Every firstling that is born in thy herd and in thy flock  -- the male thou dost sanctify to Jehovah thy God; thou dost  not work with the firstling of thine ox, nor shear the  firstling of thy flock; 
05O 015:020 before Jehovah thy God thou dost eat it year by year, in  the place which Jehovah doth choose, thou and thy house. 
05O 015:021 `And when there is in it a blemish, lame, or blind, any  evil blemish, thou dost not sacrifice it to Jehovah thy God; 
05O 015:022 within thy gates thou dost eat it, the unclean and the  clean alike, as the roe, and as the hart. 
05O 015:023 Only, its blood thou dost not eat; on the earth thou dost  pour it as water. 
05O 016:001 `Observe the month of Abib -- and thou hast made a passover  to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy  God brought thee out of Egypt by night; 
05O 016:002 and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of  the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth  choose to cause His name to tabernacle there. 
05O 016:003 `Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days  thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction;  for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that  thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of  Egypt all days of thy life; 
05O 016:004 and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border  seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou  dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning. 
05O 016:005 `Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of  thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, 
05O 016:006 except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to  cause His name to tabernacle -- there thou dost sacrifice the  passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season  of thy coming out of Egypt; 
05O 016:007 and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which  Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and  gone to thy tents; 
05O 016:008 six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the  seventh day [is] a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do  no work. 
05O 016:009 `Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning  of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost begin to number  seven weeks, 
05O 016:010 and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God,  a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost  give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee. 
05O 016:011 And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and  thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy  handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and the  sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in thy  midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause  His name to tabernacle there, 
05O 016:012 and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in  Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes. 
05O 016:013 `The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days,  in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy  wine-vat; 
05O 016:014 and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son,  and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and  the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the  widow, who [are] within thy gates. 
05O 016:015 Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the  place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless  thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and  thou hast been only rejoicing. 
05O 016:016 `Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear  before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose -- in  the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and  in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah  empty; 
05O 016:017 each according to the gift of his hand, according to the  blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee. 
05O 016:018 `Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all  thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy  tribes; and they have judged the people -- a righteous  judgment. 
05O 016:019 Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern  faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the  wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. 
05O 016:020 Righteousness -- righteousness thou dost pursue, so that  thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God  is giving to thee. 
05O 016:021 `Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near  the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself, 
05O 016:022 and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image  which Jehovah thy God is hating. 
05O 017:001 `Thou dost not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God ox or sheep in  which there is a blemish -- any evil thing; for it [is] the  abomination of Jehovah thy God. 
05O 017:002 `When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities  which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who  doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by  transgressing His covenant, 
05O 017:003 and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself  to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host  of the heavens, which I have not commanded -- 
05O 017:004 and it hath been declared to thee, and thou hast heard, and  hast searched diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is  established; this abomination hath been done in Israel -- 
05O 017:005 `Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who  hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates -- the man or the  woman -- and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have  died. 
05O 017:006 By the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses is he  who is dead put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth  of one witness; 
05O 017:007 the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to  put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou  hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst. 
05O 017:008 `When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between  blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and  stroke -- matters of strife within thy gates -- then thou hast  risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth  fix, 
05O 017:009 and hast come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto  the judge who is in those days, and hast inquired, and they  have declared to thee the word of judgment, 
05O 017:010 and thou hast done according to the tenor of the word  which they declare to thee ([they] of that place which Jehovah  doth choose; and thou hast observed to do according to all that  they direct thee. 
05O 017:011 `According to the tenor of the law which they direct thee,  and according to the judgment which they say to thee thou dost  do; thou dost not turn aside from the word which they declare  to thee, right or left. 
05O 017:012 And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to  hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah  thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou  hast put away the evil thing from Israel, 
05O 017:013 and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume  any more. 
05O 017:014 `When thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God  is giving to thee, and hast possessed it, and dwelt in it, and  thou hast said, Let me set over me a king like all the nations  which [are] round about me, -- 
05O 017:015 thou dost certainly set over thee a king on whom Jehovah  doth fix; from the midst of thy brethren thou dost set over  thee a king; thou art not able to set over thee a stranger, who  is not thy brother. 
05O 017:016 `Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause  the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses,  seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in  this way any more. 
05O 017:017 And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart  doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply  to himself -- exceedingly. 
05O 017:018 `And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his  kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law,  on a book, from [that] before the priests the Levites, 
05O 017:019 and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days  of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to  keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them; 
05O 017:020 so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so  as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that  he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the  midst of Israel. 
05O 018:001 `There is not to the priests the Levites -- all the tribe  of Levi -- a portion and inheritance with Israel;  fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat, 
05O 018:002 and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren;  Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him. 
05O 018:003 `And this is the priest's right from the people, from those  sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even  given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the  stomach; 
05O 018:004 the first of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil,  and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to  him; 
05O 018:005 for on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy  tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his  sons continually. 
05O 018:006 `And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of  all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the  desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah doth choose, 
05O 018:007 then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God,  like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there  before Jehovah, 
05O 018:008 portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things,  with the fathers. 
05O 018:009 `When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to  the abominations of those nations: 
05O 018:010 there is not found in thee one causing his son and his  daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an  observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer, 
05O 018:011 and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a  wizard, and one seeking unto the dead. 
05O 018:012 `For the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing  these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God  dispossessing them from thy presence. 
05O 018:013 Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God, 
05O 018:014 for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers  of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou -- not so  hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee. 
05O 018:015 `A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to  me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee -- unto him ye  hearken; 
05O 018:016 according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God,  in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to  hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me  not see any more, and I die not; 
05O 018:017 and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they  have spoken; 
05O 018:018 a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their  brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth,  and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him; 
05O 018:019 and it hath been -- the man who doth not hearken unto My  words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him. 
05O 018:020 `Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My  name -- that which I have not commanded him to speak -- and who  speaketh in the name of other gods -- even that prophet hath  died. 
05O 018:021 `And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the  word which Jehovah hath not spoken? -- 
05O 018:022 that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah,  and the thing is not, and cometh not -- it [is] the word which  Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken  it; -- thou art not afraid of him. 
05O 019:001 `When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land  Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded  them, and dwelt in their cities, and in their houses, 
05O 019:002 three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of  thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it. 
05O 019:003 Thou dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into  three parts the border of thy land which Jehovah thy God doth  cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither  of every man-slayer. 
05O 019:004 `And this [is] the matter of the man-slayer who fleeth  thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour  unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore, 
05O 019:005 even he who cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to  hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree,  and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his  neighbour, and he hath died -- he doth flee unto one of these  cities, and hath lived, 
05O 019:006 lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when  his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is  great), and hath smitten him -- the life, and he hath no  sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore; 
05O 019:007 therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Three cities thou  dost separate to thee. 
05O 019:008 `And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath  sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which  He hath spoken to give to thy fathers -- 
05O 019:009 when thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am  commanding thee to-day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in  His ways all the days -- then thou hast added to thee yet three  cities to these three; 
05O 019:010 and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land  which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an inheritance, and  there hath been upon thee blood. 
05O 019:011 `And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in  wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him -- the  life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these  cities, 
05O 019:012 then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from  thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood,  and he hath died; 
05O 019:013 thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the  innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee. 
05O 019:014 `Thou dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which  they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which  thou dost inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving  to thee to possess it. 
05O 019:015 `One witness doth not rise against a man for any iniquity,  and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; by the mouth of  two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, is a thing  established. 
05O 019:016 `When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to  testify against him apostacy, 
05O 019:017 then have both the men who have the strife stood before  Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those  days, 
05O 019:018 and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the  witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified  against his brother: 
05O 019:019 `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his  brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy  midst, 
05O 019:020 and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do  any more according to this evil thing in thy midst; 
05O 019:021 and thine eye doth not pity -- life for life, eye for eye,  tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. 
05O 020:001 `When thou goest out to battle against thine enemy, and  hast seen horse and chariot -- a people more numerous than thou  -- thou art not afraid of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] with  thee, who is bringing thee up out of the land of Egypt; 
05O 020:002 and it hath been, in your drawing near unto the battle,  that the priest hath come nigh, and spoken unto the people, 
05O 020:003 and said unto them, Hear, Israel, ye are drawing near  to-day to battle against your enemies, let not your hearts be  tender, fear not, nor make haste, nor be terrified at their  presence, 
05O 020:004 for Jehovah your God [is] He who is going with you, to  fight for you with your enemies -- to save you. 
05O 020:005 `And the authorities have spoken unto the people, saying,  Who [is] the man that hath built a new house, and hath not  dedicated it? -- let him go and turn back to his house, lest he  die in battle, and another man dedicate it. 
05O 020:006 `And who [is] the man that hath planted a vineyard, and  hath not made it common? -- let him go and turn back to his  house, lest he die in battle, and another man make it common. 
05O 020:007 `And who [is] the man that hath betrothed a woman, and hath  not taken her? -- let him go and turn back to his house, lest  he die in battle, and another man take her. 
05O 020:008 `And the authorities have added to speak unto the people,  and said, Who [is] the man that is afraid and tender of heart?  -- let him go and turn back to his house, and the heart of his  brethren doth not melt like his heart; 
05O 020:009 and it hath come to pass as the authorities finish to speak  unto the people, that they have appointed princes of the hosts  at the head of the people. 
05O 020:010 `When thou drawest near unto a city to fight against it,  then thou hast called unto it for Peace, 
05O 020:011 and it hath been, if Peace it answer thee, and hath opened  to thee, then it hath come to pass -- all the people who are  found in it are to thee for tributaries, and have served thee. 
05O 020:012 `And if it doth not make peace with thee, and hath made  with thee war, then thou hast laid siege against it, 
05O 020:013 and Jehovah thy God hath given it into thy hand, and thou  hast smitten every male of it by the mouth of the sword. 
05O 020:014 Only, the women, and the infants, and the cattle, and all  that is in the city, all its spoil, thou dost seize for  thyself, and thou hast eaten the spoil of thine enemies which  Jehovah thy God hath given to thee. 
05O 020:015 So thou dost do to all the cities which are very far off  from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations. 
05O 020:016 `Only, of the cities of these peoples which Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee [for] an inheritance, thou dost not keep  alive any breathing; 
05O 020:017 for thou dost certainly devote the Hittite, and the  Amorite, the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the  Jebusite, as Jehovah thy God hath commanded thee, 
05O 020:018 so that they teach you not to do according to all their  abominations which they have done to their gods, and ye have  sinned against Jehovah your God. 
05O 020:019 `When thou layest siege unto a city many days, to fight  against it, to capture it, thou dost not destroy its trees to  force an axe against them, for of them thou dost eat, and them  thou dost not cut down -- for man's [is] the tree of the field  -- to go in at thy presence in the siege. 
05O 020:020 Only, the tree, which thou knowest that it [is] not a  fruit-tree, it thou dost destroy, and hast cut down, and hast  built a bulwark against the city which is making with thee war  till thou hast subdued it. 
05O 021:001 `When one is found slain on the ground which Jehovah thy  God is giving to thee to possess it -- fallen in a field -- it  is not known who hath smitten him, 
05O 021:002 then have thine elders and thy judges gone out and measured  unto the cities which [are] round about the slain one, 
05O 021:003 and it hath been, the city which [is] near unto the slain  one, even the elders of that city have taken a heifer of the  herd, which hath not been wrought with, which hath not drawn in  the yoke, 
05O 021:004 and the elders of that city have brought down the heifer  unto a hard valley, which is not tilled nor sown, and have  beheaded there the heifer in the valley. 
05O 021:005 `And the priests, sons of Levi, have come nigh -- for on  them hath Jehovah thy God fixed to serve Him, and to bless in  the name of Jehovah, and by their mouth is every strife, and  every stroke -- 
05O 021:006 and all the elders of that city, who are near unto the  slain one, do wash their hands over the heifer which is  beheaded in the valley, 
05O 021:007 and they have answered and said, Our hands have not shed  this blood, and our eyes have not seen -- 
05O 021:008 receive atonement for Thy people Israel, whom Thou hast  ransomed, O Jehovah, and suffer not innocent blood in the midst  of Thy people Israel; and the blood hath been pardoned to them, 
05O 021:009 and thou dost put away the innocent blood out of thy midst,  for thou dost that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah. 
05O 021:010 `When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and  Jehovah thy God hath given them into thy hand, and thou hast  taken captive its captivity, 
05O 021:011 and hast seen in the captivity a woman of fair form, and  hast delighted in her, and hast taken to thee for a wife, 
05O 021:012 then thou hast brought her in unto the midst of thy  household, and she hath shaved her head, and prepared her  nails, 
05O 021:013 and turned aside the raiment of her captivity from off  her, and hath dwelt in thy house, and bewailed her father and  her mother a month of days, and afterwards thou dost go in unto  her and hast married her, and she hath been to thee for a wife: 
05O 021:014 `And it hath been -- if thou hast not delighted in her,  that thou hast sent her away at her desire, and thou dost not  at all sell her for money; thou dost not tyrannize over her,  because that thou hast humbled her. 
05O 021:015 `When a man hath two wives, the one loved and the other  hated, and they have borne to him sons (the loved one and the  hated one), and the first-born son hath been to the hated one; 
05O 021:016 then it hath been, in the day of his causing his sons to  inherit that which he hath, he is not able to declare  first-born the son of the loved one, in the face of the son of  the hated one -- the first-born. 
05O 021:017 But the first-born, son of the hated one, he doth  acknowledge, to give to him a double portion of all that is  found with him, for he [is] the beginning of his strength; to  him [is] the right of the first-born. 
05O 021:018 `When a man hath a son apostatizing and rebellious -- he  is not hearkening to the voice of his father, and to the voice  of his mother, and they have chastised him, and he doth not  hearken unto them -- 
05O 021:019 then laid hold on him have his father and his mother, and  they have brought him out unto the elders of his city, and unto  the gate of his place, 
05O 021:020 and have said unto the elders of his city, Our son -- this  one -- is apostatizing and rebellious; he is not hearkening to  our voice -- a glutton and drunkard; 
05O 021:021 and all the men of his city have stoned him with stones,  and he hath died, and thou hast put away the evil out of thy  midst, and all Israel do hear and fear. 
05O 021:022 `And when there is in a man a sin -- a cause of death, and  he hath been put to death, and thou hast hanged him on a tree, 
05O 021:023 his corpse doth not remain on the tree, for thou dost  certainly bury him in that day -- for a thing lightly esteemed  of God [is] the hanged one -- and thou dost not defile thy  ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee -- an  inheritance. 
05O 022:001 `Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep  driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost  certainly turn them back to thy brother; 
05O 022:002 and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast  not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy  house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and  thou hast given it back to him; 
05O 022:003 and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his  garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother's,  which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able  to hide thyself. 
05O 022:004 `Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox,  falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost  certainly raise [them] up with him. 
05O 022:005 `The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a  man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of  Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these. 
05O 022:006 `When a bird's nest cometh before thee in the way, in any  tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on  the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with  the young ones; 
05O 022:007 thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young  ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and  thou hast prolonged days. 
05O 022:008 `When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a  parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house  when one falleth from it. 
05O 022:009 `Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest  the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase  of the vineyard, be separated. 
05O 022:010 `Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together. 
05O 022:011 `Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen  together. 
05O 022:012 `Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy  covering with which thou dost cover [thyself]. 
05O 022:013 `When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and  hated her, 
05O 022:014 and laid against her actions of words, and brought out  against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken,  and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of  virginity: 
05O 022:015 `Then hath the father of the damsel -- and her mother --  taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel  unto the elders of the city in the gate, 
05O 022:016 and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My  daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate  her; 
05O 022:017 and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not  found to thy daughter tokens of virginity -- and these [are]  the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have  spread out the garment before the elders of the city. 
05O 022:018 `And the elders of that city have taken the man, and  chastise him, 
05O 022:019 and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the  father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name  on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not  able to send her away all his days. 
05O 022:020 `And if this thing hath been truth -- tokens of virginity  have not been found for the damsel -- 
05O 022:021 then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of  her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city  with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in  Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father's house; and thou hast  put away the evil thing out of thy midst. 
05O 022:022 `When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a  husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is  lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away  the evil thing out of Israel. 
05O 022:023 `When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and  a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her; 
05O 022:024 then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that  city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: -- the  damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and  the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and  thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst. 
05O 022:025 `And if in a field the man find the damsel who is  betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with  her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone; 
05O 022:026 and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel  hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour  and hath murdered him -- the life, so [is] this thing; 
05O 022:027 for in a field he found her, she hath cried -- the damsel  who is betrothed -- and she hath no saviour. 
05O 022:028 `When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not  betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they  have been found, 
05O 022:029 then hath the man who is lying with her given to the  father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a  wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send  her away all his days. 
05O 022:030 `A man doth not take his father's wife, nor uncover his  father's skirt. 
05O 023:001 `One wounded, bruised, or cut in the member doth not enter  into the assembly of Jehovah; 
05O 023:002 a bastard doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even  a tenth generation of him doth not enter into the assembly of  Jehovah. 
05O 023:003 `An Ammonite and a Moabite doth not enter into the assembly  of Jehovah; even a tenth generation of them doth not enter into  the assembly of Jehovah -- to the age; 
05O 023:004 because that they have not come before you with bread and  with water in the way, in your coming out from Egypt, and  because he hath hired against thee Balaam son of Beor, of  Pethor of Aram-Naharaim, to revile thee; 
05O 023:005 and Jehovah thy God hath not been willing to hearken unto  Balaam, and Jehovah thy God doth turn for thee the reviling to  a blessing, because Jehovah thy God hath loved thee; 
05O 023:006 thou dost not seek their peace and their good all thy days  -- to the age. 
05O 023:007 `Thou dost not abominate an Edomite, for thy brother he  [is]; thou dost not abominate an Egyptian, for a sojourner thou  hast been in his land;

05O 023:009 `When a camp goeth out against thine enemies, then thou  hast kept from every evil thing. 
05O 023:010 `When there is in thee a man who is not clean, from an  accident at night -- then he hath gone out unto the outside of  the camp -- he doth not come in unto the midst of the camp -- 
05O 023:011 and it hath been, at the turning of the evening, he doth  bathe with water, and at the going in of the sun he doth come  in unto the midst of the camp. 
05O 023:012 `And a station thou hast at the outside of the camp, and  thou hast gone out thither without, 
05O 023:013 and a nail thou hast on thy staff, and it hath been, in  thy sitting without, that thou hast digged with it, and turned  back, and covered thy filth; 
05O 023:014 for Jehovah thy God is walking up and down in the midst of  thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give thine enemies before  thee, and thy camp hath been holy, and He doth not see in thee  the nakedness of anything, and hath turned back from after  thee. 
05O 023:015 `Thou dost not shut up a servant unto his lord, who is  delivered unto thee from his lord; 
05O 023:016 with thee he doth dwell, in thy midst, in the place which  he chooseth within one of thy gates, where it is pleasing to  him; thou dost not oppress him. 
05O 023:017 `There is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor  is there a whoremonger among the sons of Israel; 
05O 023:018 thou dost not bring a gift of a whore, or a price of a  dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God, for any vow; for the  abomination of Jehovah thy God [are] even both of them. 
05O 023:019 `Thou dost not lend in usury to thy brother; usury of  money, usury of food, usury of anything which is lent on usury. 
05O 023:020 To a stranger thou mayest lend in usury, and to thy  brother thou dost not lend in usury, so that Jehovah thy God  doth bless thee in every putting forth of thy hand on the land  whither thou goest in to possess it. 
05O 023:021 `When thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou dost not  delay to complete it; for Jehovah thy God doth certainly  require it from thee, and it hath been in thee -- sin. 
05O 023:022 `And when thou forbearest to vow, it is not in thee a sin. 
05O 023:023 The produce of thy lips thou dost keep, and hast done  [it], as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God; a  free-will-offering, which thou hast spoken with thy mouth. 
05O 023:024 `When thou comest in unto the vineyard of thy neighbour,  then thou hast eaten grapes, according to thy desire, thy  sufficiency; but into thy vessel thou dost not put [any]. 
05O 023:025 When thou comest in among the standing-corn of thy  neighbour, then thou hast plucked the ears with thy hand, but a  sickle thou dost not wave over the standing-corn of thy  neighbour. 
05O 024:001 `When a man doth take a wife, and hath married her, and it  hath been, if she doth not find grace in his eyes (for he hath  found in her nakedness of anything), and he hath written for  her a writing of divorce, and given [it] into her hand, and  sent her out of his house, 
05O 024:002 and she hath gone out of his house, and hath gone and been  another man's, 
05O 024:003 and the latter man hath hated her, and written for her a  writing of divorce, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her  out of his house, or when the latter man dieth, who hath taken  her to himself for a wife: 
05O 024:004 `Her former husband who sent her away is not able to turn  back to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she hath  become defiled; for an abomination it [is] before Jehovah, and  thou dost not cause the land to sin which Jehovah thy God is  giving to thee -- an inheritance. 
05O 024:005 `When a man taketh a new wife, he doth not go out into the  host, and [one] doth not pass over unto him for anything; free  he is at his own house one year, and hath rejoiced his wife  whom he hath taken. 
05O 024:006 `None doth take in pledge millstones, and rider, for life  it [is] he is taking in pledge. 
05O 024:007 `When a man is found stealing a person, of his brethren, of  the sons of Israel, and hath tyrannized over him, and sold him,  then hath that thief died, and thou hast put away the evil  thing out of thy midst.

05O 026:009 and he bringeth us in unto this place, and giveth to us  this land -- a land flowing with milk and honey. 
05O 026:010 `And now, lo, I have brought in the first of the fruits of  the ground which thou hast given to me, O Jehovah; -- and thou  hast placed it before Jehovah thy God, and bowed thyself before  Jehovah thy God, 
05O 026:011 and rejoiced in all the good which Jehovah thy God hath  given to thee, and to thy house, thou, and the Levite, and the  sojourner who [is] in thy midst. 
05O 026:012 `When thou dost complete to tithe all the tithe of thine  increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then thou  hast given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless,  and to the widow, and they have eaten within thy gates, and  been satisfied, 
05O 026:013 and thou hast said before Jehovah thy God, I have put away  the separated thing out of the house, and also have given it to  the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the  widow, according to all Thy command which Thou hast commanded  me; I have not passed over from Thy commands, nor have I  forgotten. 
05O 026:014 I have not eaten in mine affliction of it, nor have I put  away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the  dead; I have hearkened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have  done according to all that Thou hast commanded me; 
05O 026:015 look from Thy holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless  Thy people Israel, and the ground which Thou hast given to us,  as Thou hast sworn to our fathers -- a land flowing [with] milk  and honey. 
05O 026:016 `This day Jehovah thy God is commanding thee to do these  statutes and judgments; and thou hast hearkened and done them  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, 
05O 026:017 Jehovah thou hast caused to promise to-day to become thy  God, and to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His  commands, and His judgments, and to hearken to His voice. 
05O 026:018 `And Jehovah hath caused thee to promise to-day to become  His people, a peculiar treasure, as He hath spoken to thee, and  to keep all His commands; 
05O 026:019 so as to make thee uppermost above all the nations whom He  hath made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for  thy being a holy people to Jehovah thy God, as He hath spoken. 
05O 027:001 `And Moses -- the elders of Israel also -- commandeth the  people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you  to-day; 
05O 027:002 and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan  unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that  thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them  with plaister, 
05O 027:003 and written on them all the words of this law in thy  passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah  thy God is giving to thee -- a land flowing with milk and  honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee. 
05O 027:004 `And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye  raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in  mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister, 
05O 027:005 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of  stones, thou dost not wave over them iron. 
05O 027:006 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy  God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah  thy God, 
05O 027:007 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and  rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, 
05O 027:008 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well  engraved.' 
05O 027:009 And Moses speaketh -- the priests, the Levites, also --  unto all Israel, saying, `Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this  day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God; 
05O 027:010 and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God,  and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding  thee to-day.' 
05O 027:011 And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying, 
05O 027:012 `These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim,  in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah,  and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin. 
05O 027:013 And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal:  Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 
05O 027:014 `And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of  Israel -- a loud voice: 
05O 027:015 `Cursed [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image,  the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer,  and hath put [it] in a secret place, -- and all the people have  answered and said, Amen. 
05O 027:016 `Cursed [is] He who is making light of his father and his  mother, -- and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:017 `Cursed [is] he who is removing his neighbour's border, --  and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:018 `Cursed [is] he who is causing the blind to err in the  way, -- and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:019 `Cursed [is] he who is turning aside the judgment of  fatherless, sojourner, and widow, -- and all the people have  said, Amen. 
05O 027:020 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his father's wife, for  he hath uncovered his father's skirt, -- and all the people  have said, Amen. 
05O 027:021 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with any beast, -- and all  the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:022 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his sister, daughter of  his father, or daughter of his mother, -- and all the people  have said, Amen. 
05O 027:023 `Cursed [is] he who is lying with his mother-in-law, --  and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:024 `Cursed [is] he who is smiting his neighbour in secret, --  and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:025 `Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to smite a person,  innocent blood, -- and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 027:026 `Cursed [is] he who doth not establish the words of this  law, to do them, -- and all the people have said, Amen. 
05O 028:001 `And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the  voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands  which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath  made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth, 
05O 028:002 and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken  thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy  God: 
05O 028:003 `Blessed [art] thou in the city, and blessed [art] thou in  the field. 
05O 028:004 `Blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy  ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen,  and wealth of thy flock. 
05O 028:005 `Blessed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough. 
05O 028:006 `Blessed [art] thou in thy coming in, and blessed [art]  thou in thy going out. 
05O 028:007 `Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against  thee -- smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto  thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee. 
05O 028:008 `Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy  storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath  blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to  thee. 
05O 028:009 `Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people,  as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of  Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways; 
05O 028:010 and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of  Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee. 
05O 028:011 `And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit  of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit  of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy  fathers to give to thee. 
05O 028:012 `Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure -- the  heavens -- to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to  bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many  nations, and thou -- thou dost not borrow. 
05O 028:013 `And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail;  and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou  dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am  commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do, 
05O 028:014 and thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am  commanding you to-day -- right or left -- to go after other  gods, to serve them. 
05O 028:015 `And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice  of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His  statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these  revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee: 
05O 028:016 `Cursed [art] thou in the city, and cursed [art] thou in  the field. 
05O 028:017 `Cursed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough. 
05O 028:018 `Cursed [is] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy  land, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock. 
05O 028:019 `Cursed [art] thou in thy coming in, and cursed [art] thou  in thy going out. 
05O 028:020 `Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the  rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost,  till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because  of the evil of thy doings [by] which thou hast forsaken Me. 
05O 028:021 `Jehovah doth cause to cleave to thee the pestilence, till  He consume thee from off the ground whither thou art going in  to possess it. 
05O 028:022 `Jehovah doth smite thee with consumption, and with fever,  and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with  sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have  pursued thee till thou perish 
05O 028:023 `And thy heavens which [are] over thy head have been  brass, and the earth which [is] under thee iron; 
05O 028:024 Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land -- dust and ashes;  from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art  destroyed. 
05O 028:025 `Jehovah giveth thee smitten before thine enemies; in one  way thou goest out unto them, and in seven ways dost flee  before them, and thou hast been for a trembling to all kingdoms  of the earth; 
05O 028:026 and thy carcase hath been for food to every fowl of the  heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and there is none  causing trembling. 
05O 028:027 `Jehovah doth smite thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and with  emerods, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which thou art not  able to be healed. 
05O 028:028 `Jehovah doth smite thee with madness, and with blindness,  and with astonishment of heart; 
05O 028:029 and thou hast been gropling at noon, as the blind gropeth  in darkness; and thou dost not cause thy ways to prosper; and  thou hast been only oppressed and plundered all the days, and  there is no saviour. 
05O 028:030 `A woman thou dost betroth, and another man doth lie with  her; a house thou dost build, and dost not dwell in it; a  vineyard thou dost plant, and dost not make it common; 
05O 028:031 thine ox [is] slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou dost  not eat of it; thine ass [is] taken violently away from before  thee, and it is not given back to thee; thy sheep [are] given  to thine enemies, and there is no saviour for thee. 
05O 028:032 `Thy sons and thy daughters [are] given to another people,  and thine eyes are looking and consuming for them all the day,  and thy hand is not to God! 
05O 028:033 The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labour, eat up doth a  people whom thou hast not known; and thou hast been only  oppressed and bruised all the days; 
05O 028:034 and thou hast been mad, because of the sight of thine eyes  which thou dost see. 
05O 028:035 `Jehovah doth smite thee with an evil ulcer, on the knees,  and on the legs (of which thou art not able to be healed), from  the sole of thy foot even unto thy crown. 
05O 028:036 `Jehovah doth cause thee to go, and thy king whom thou  raisest up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known,  thou and thy fathers, and thou hast served there other gods,  wood and stone; 
05O 028:037 and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and  for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead  thee. 
05O 028:038 `Much seed thou dost take out into the field, and little  thou dost gather in, for the locust doth consume it; 
05O 028:039 vineyards thou dost plant, and hast laboured, and wine  thou dost not drink nor gather, for the worm doth consume it; 
05O 028:040 olives are to thee in all thy border, and oil thou dost  not pour out, for thine olive doth fall off. 
05O 028:041 `Sons and daughters thou dost beget, and they are not with  thee, for they go into captivity; 
05O 028:042 all thy trees and the fruit of thy ground doth the locust  possess; 
05O 028:043 the sojourner who [is] in thy midst goeth up above thee  very high, and thou goest down very low; 
05O 028:044 he doth lend [to] thee, and thou dost not lend [to] him;  he is for head, and thou art for tail. 
05O 028:045 `And come upon thee have all these curses, and they have  pursued thee, and overtaken thee, till thou art destroyed,  because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy  God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which he hath  commanded thee; 
05O 028:046 and they have been on thee for a sign and for a wonder,  also on thy seed -- to the age. 
05O 028:047 `Because that thou hast not served Jehovah thy God with  joy, and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of  all things -- 
05O 028:048 thou hast served thine enemies, whom Jehovah sendeth  against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and  in lack of all things; and he hath put a yoke of iron on thy  neck, till He hath destroyed thee. 
05O 028:049 `Jehovah doth lift up against thee a nation, from afar,  from the end of the earth, as the eagle it flieth; a nation  whose tongue thou hast not heard, 
05O 028:050 a nation -- fierce of countenance -- which accepteth not  the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour; 
05O 028:051 and it hath eaten the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit  of thy ground, till thou art destroyed; which leaveth not to  thee corn, new wine, and oil, increase of thine oxen, and  wealth of thy flock, till it hath destroyed thee. 
05O 028:052 `And it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, till thy  walls come down, the high and the fenced ones in which thou art  trusting, in all thy land; yea, it hath laid siege to thee in  all thy gates, in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath  given to thee; 
05O 028:053 and thou hast eaten the fruit of thy body, flesh of thy  sons and thy daughters (whom Jehovah thy God hath given to  thee), in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine  enemies do straiten thee. 
05O 028:054 `The man who is tender in thee, and who [is] very delicate  -- his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of  his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaveth, 
05O 028:055 against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons  whom he eateth, because he hath nothing left to him, in the  siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth  straiten thee in all thy gates. 
05O 028:056 `The tender woman in thee, and the delicate, who hath not  tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of  delicateness and because of tenderness -- her eye is evil  against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and  against her daughter, 
05O 028:057 and against her seed which cometh out from between her  feet, even against her sons whom she doth bear, for she doth  eat them for the lacking of all things in secret, in the siege  and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee  within thy gates. 
05O 028:058 `If thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law  which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and  fearful name -- Jehovah thy God -- 
05O 028:059 then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the  strokes of thy seed -- great strokes, and stedfast, and evil  sicknesses, and stedfast. 
05O 028:060 `And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of  Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they  have cleaved to thee; 
05O 028:061 also every sickness and every stroke which is not written  in the book of this law; Jehovah doth cause them to go up upon  thee till thou art destroyed, 
05O 028:062 and ye have been left with few men, instead of which ye  have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou  hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God. 
05O 028:063 `And it hath been, as Jehovah hath rejoiced over you to do  you good, and to multiply you, so doth Jehovah rejoice over you  to destroy you, and to lay you waste; and ye have been pulled  away from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess  it; 
05O 028:064 and Jehovah hath scattered thee among all the peoples,  from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth; and  thou hast served there other gods which thou hast not known,  thou and thy fathers -- wood and stone. 
05O 028:065 `And among those nations thou dost not rest, yea, there is  no resting-place for the sole of thy foot, and Jehovah hath  given to thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and  grief of soul; 
05O 028:066 and thy life hath been hanging in suspense before thee,  and thou hast been afraid by night and by day, and dost not  believe in thy life; 
05O 028:067 in the morning thou sayest, O that it were evening! and in  the evening thou sayest, O that it were morning! from the fear  of thy heart, with which thou art afraid, and from the sight of  thine eyes which thou seest. 
05O 028:068 `And Jehovah hath brought thee back to Egypt with ships,  by a way of which I said to thee, Thou dost not add any more to  see it, and ye have sold yourselves there to thine enemies, for  men-servants and for maid-servants, and there is no buyer.' 
05O 029:001 These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath  commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of  Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb. 
05O 029:002 And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Ye  -- ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your  eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants,  and to all his land; 
05O 029:003 the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and  those great wonders; 
05O 029:004 and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes  to see, and ears to hear, till this day, 
05O 029:005 and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your  garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath  not worn away from off thy foot; 
05O 029:006 bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have  not drunk, so that ye know that I [am] Jehovah your God. 
05O 029:007 `And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon  -- also Og king of Bashan -- doth come out to meet us, to  battle, and we smite them, 
05O 029:008 and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the  Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of  Manasseh; 
05O 029:009 and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them,  so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper. 
05O 029:010 `Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your  God -- your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your  authorities -- every man of Israel; 
05O 029:011 your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who [is] in  the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the  drawer of thy water -- 
05O 029:012 for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God,  and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee  to-day; 
05O 029:013 in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and  He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He  hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 
05O 029:014 `And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this  oath; 
05O 029:015 but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before  Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day, 
05O 029:016 for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and  how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have  passed by; 
05O 029:017 and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and  stone, silver and gold, which [are] with them, 
05O 029:018 lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or  tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to  go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a  root fruitful of gall and wormwood: 
05O 029:019 `And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath,  and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace,  though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end  the fulness with the thirst. 
05O 029:020 Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then  doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that  man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in  this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the  heavens, 
05O 029:021 and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the  tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant  which is written in this book of the law. 
05O 029:022 `And the latter generation of your sons who rise after  you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have  said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its  sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, -- 
05O 029:023 ([with] brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is  not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any  herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and  Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His  fury,) -- 
05O 029:024 yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah  done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger? 
05O 029:025 `And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the  covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with  them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt, 
05O 029:026 and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to  them -- gods which they have not known, and which He hath not  apportioned to them; 
05O 029:027 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to  bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book, 
05O 029:028 and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in  anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto  another land, as [at] this day. 
05O 029:029 `The things hidden [are] to Jehovah our God, and the  things revealed [are] to us and to our sons -- to the age, to  do all the words of this law. 
05O 030:001 `And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee,  the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee,  and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the  nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away, 
05O 030:002 and hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to  His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day,  thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul -- 
05O 030:003 then hath Jehovah thy God turned back [to] thy captivity,  and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out  of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee. 
05O 030:004 `If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens,  thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth  take thee; 
05O 030:005 and Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land  which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it,  and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy  fathers. 
05O 030:006 `And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the  heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart,  and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life; 
05O 030:007 and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine  enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee. 
05O 030:008 `And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice  of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am  commanding thee to-day; 
05O 030:009 and Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant 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  turneth back to rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over  thy fathers, 
05O 030:010 for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to  keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the  book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God,  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul. 
05O 030:011 `For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is  not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off. 
05O 030:012 It is not in the heavens, -- saying, Who doth go up for us  into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to  hear it -- that we may do it. 
05O 030:013 And it [is] not beyond the sea, -- saying, Who doth pass  over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth  cause us to hear it -- that we may do it? 
05O 030:014 For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in  thy heart -- to do it. 
05O 030:015 `See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and  death and evil, 
05O 030:016 in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy  God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His  statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and  multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land  whither thou art going in to possess it. 
05O 030:017 `And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken,  and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other  gods, and served them, 
05O 030:018 I have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly  perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art  passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it. 
05O 030:019 `I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens  and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the  blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that  thou dost live, thou and thy seed, 
05O 030:020 to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to  cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy  days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy  fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.' 
05O 031:001 And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel, 
05O 031:002 and he saith unto them, `A son of a hundred and twenty  years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to  come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over  this Jordan, 
05O 031:003 `Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth  destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed  them; Joshua -- he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath  spoken, 
05O 031:004 and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and  to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He  destroyed. 
05O 031:005 And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have  done to them according to all the command which I have  commanded you; 
05O 031:006 be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified  because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with  thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.' 
05O 031:007 And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the  eyes of all Israel, `Be strong and courageous, for thou -- thou  dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath  sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou -- thou dost  cause them to inherit it; 
05O 031:008 and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is  with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not,  nor be affrighted.' 
05O 031:009 And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests  (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel, 
05O 031:010 and Moses commandeth them, saying, `At the end of seven  years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast  of booths, 
05O 031:011 in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah  in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law  before all Israel, in their ears. 
05O 031:012 `Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the  infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that  they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your  God, and observed to do all the words of this law; 
05O 031:013 and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have  learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are  living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to  possess it.' 
05O 031:014 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thy days have drawn  near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of  meeting, and I charge him;' and Moses goeth -- Joshua also --  and they station themselves in the tent of meeting, 
05O 031:015 and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud;  and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the  tent. 
05O 031:016 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thou art lying down  with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone  a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the  midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My  covenant which I made with it; 
05O 031:017 and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I  have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath  been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found  it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God  is not in my midst -- these evils have found me? 
05O 031:018 and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil  which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods. 
05O 031:019 `And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons  of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me  for a witness against the sons of Israel, 
05O 031:020 and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to  their fathers -- flowing with milk and honey, and they have  eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto  other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and  broken My covenant. 
05O 031:021 `And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet  it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness;  for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I  have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I  bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.' 
05O 031:022 And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it  the sons of Israel, 
05O 031:023 and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, `Be strong  and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto  the land which I have sworn to them, and I -- I am with thee.' 
05O 031:024 And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the  words of this law on a book till their completion, 
05O 031:025 that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah, saying, 
05O 031:026 `Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the  side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it  hath been there against thee for a witness; 
05O 031:027 for I -- I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck;  lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have  been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death. 
05O 031:028 `Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your  authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause  to testify against them the heavens and the earth, 
05O 031:029 for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly,  and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and  evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do  the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with  the work of your hands.' 
05O 031:030 And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of  Israel the words of this song, till their completion: -- 
05O 032:001 `Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And thou dost hear, O  earth, sayings of my mouth! 
05O 032:002 Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings;  As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb, 
05O 032:003 For the Name of Jehovah I proclaim, Ascribe ye greatness to  our God! 
05O 032:004 The Rock! -- perfect [is] His work, For all His ways [are]  just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and  upright [is] He. 
05O 032:005 It hath done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not His  sons', A generation perverse and crooked! 
05O 032:006 To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise?  Is not He thy father -- thy possessor? He made thee, and doth  establish thee. 
05O 032:007 Remember days of old -- Understand the years of many  generations -- Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine  elders, and they say to thee: 
05O 032:008 In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His  separating sons of Adam -- He setteth up the borders of the  peoples By the number of the sons of Israel. 
05O 032:009 For Jehovah's portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line  of His inheritance. 
05O 032:010 He findeth him in a land -- a desert, And in a void -- a  howling wilderness, He turneth him round -- He causeth him to  understand -- He keepeth him as the apple of His eye. 
05O 032:011 As an eagle waketh up its nest, Over its young ones  fluttereth, Spreadeth its wings -- taketh them, Beareth them on  its pinions; -- 
05O 032:012 Jehovah alone doth lead him, And there is no strange god  with him. 
05O 032:013 He maketh him ride on high places of earth, And he eateth  increase of the fields, And He maketh him suck honey from a  rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock; 
05O 032:014 Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of  lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of  kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink  wine! 
05O 032:015 And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat  -- thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth  God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation. 
05O 032:016 They make Him zealous with strangers, With abominations  they make Him angry. 
05O 032:017 They sacrifice to demons -- no god! Gods they have not  known -- New ones -- from the vicinity they came; Not feared  them have your fathers! 
05O 032:018 The Rock that begat thee thou forgettest, And neglectest  God who formeth thee. 
05O 032:019 And Jehovah seeth and despiseth -- For the provocation of  His sons and His daughters. 
05O 032:020 And He saith: I hide My face from them, I see what [is]  their latter end; For a froward generation [are] they, Sons in  whom is no stedfastness. 
05O 032:021 They have made Me zealous by `no-god,' They made Me angry  by their vanities; And I make them zealous by `no-people,' By a  foolish nation I make them angry. 
05O 032:022 For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth  unto Sheol -- the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase,  And setteth on fire foundations of mountains. 
05O 032:023 I gather upon them evils, Mine arrows I consume upon them. 
05O 032:024 Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat, and bitter  destruction. And the teeth of beasts I send upon them, With  poison of fearful things of the dust. 
05O 032:025 Without bereave doth the sword, And at the inner-chambers  -- fear, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair. 
05O 032:026 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance  to cease from man; 
05O 032:027 If not -- the anger of an enemy I fear, Lest their  adversaries know -- Lest they say, Our hand is high, And  Jehovah hath not wrought all this. 
05O 032:028 For a nation lost to counsels [are] they, And there is no  understanding in them. 
05O 032:029 If they were wise -- They deal wisely [with] this; They  attend to their latter end: 
05O 032:030 How doth one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to  flee! If not -- that their rock hath sold them, And Jehovah  hath shut them up? 
05O 032:031 For not as our Rock [is] their rock, (And our enemies  [are] judges!) 
05O 032:032 For of the vine of Sodom their vine [is], And of the  fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall -- They  have bitter clusters; 
05O 032:033 The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom  of asps. 
05O 032:034 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures? 
05O 032:035 Mine [are] vengeance and recompense, At the due time --  doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And  haste do things prepared for them. 
05O 032:036 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants  doth repent Himself. For He seeth -- the going away of power,  And none is restrained and left. 
05O 032:037 And He hath said, Where [are] their gods -- The rock in  which they trusted; 
05O 032:038 Which the fat of their sacrifices do eat, They drink the  wine of their libation! Let them arise and help you, Let it be  for you a hiding-place! 
05O 032:039 See ye, now, that I -- I [am] He, And there is no god with  Me: I put to death, and I keep alive; I have smitten, and I  heal; And there is not from My hand a deliverer, 
05O 032:040 For I lift up unto the heavens My hand, And have said, I  live -- to the age! 
05O 032:041 If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My  hand doth lay hold on judgment, I turn back vengeance to Mine  adversaries, And to those hating Me -- I repay! 
05O 032:042 I make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword  devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive,  From the head of the freemen of the enemy. 
05O 032:043 Sing ye nations -- [with] his people, For the blood of His  servants He avengeth, And vengeance He turneth back on His  adversaries, And hath pardoned His land -- His people.' 
05O 032:044 And Moses cometh and speaketh all the words of this song  in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun; 
05O 032:045 and Moses finisheth to speak all these words unto all  Israel, 
05O 032:046 and saith unto them, `Set your heart to all the words  which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your  sons to observe to do all the words of this law, 
05O 032:047 for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your  life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither  ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.' 
05O 032:048 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in this self-same day,  saying, 
05O 032:049 `Go up unto this mount Abarim, mount Nebo, which [is] in  the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see  the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for  a possession; 
05O 032:050 and die in the mount whither thou art going up, and be  gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath died in the  mount Hor, and is gathered unto his people: 
05O 032:051 `Because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the sons  of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of  Zin -- because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the sons of  Israel; 
05O 032:052 but over-against thou seest the land, and thither thou  dost not go in, unto the land which I am giving to the sons of  Israel.' 
05O 033:001 And this [is] the blessing [with] which Moses the man of  God blessed the sons of Israel before his death, 
05O 033:002 and he saith: -- `Jehovah from Sinai hath come, And hath  risen from Seir for them; He hath shone from mount Paran, And  hath come [with] myriads of holy ones; At His right hand [are]  springs for them. 
05O 033:003 Also He [is] loving the peoples; All His holy ones [are] in  thy hand, And they -- they sat down at thy foot, [Each] He  lifteth up at thy words. 
05O 033:004 A law hath Moses commanded us, A possession of the assembly  of Jacob. 
05O 033:005 And he is in Jeshurun king, In the heads of the people  gathering together, The tribes of Israel! 
05O 033:006 Let Reuben live, and not die, And let his men be a number. 
05O 033:007 And this [is] for Judah; and he saith: -- Hear, O Jehovah,  the voice of Judah, And unto his people do Thou bring him in;  His hand hath striven for him, And an help from his adversaries  art Thou. 
05O 033:008 And of Levi he said: -- Thy Thummim and thy Urim [are] for  thy pious one, Whom Thou hast tried in Massah, Thou dost strive  with Him at the waters of Meribah; 
05O 033:009 Who is saying of his father and his mother, I have not seen  him; And his brethren he hath not discerned, And his sons he  hath not known; For they have observed Thy saying, And Thy  covenant they keep. 
05O 033:010 They teach Thy judgments to Jacob, And Thy law to Israel;  They put perfume in Thy nose, And whole burnt-offering on Thine  altar. 
05O 033:011 Bless, O Jehovah, his strength, And the work of his hands  Thou acceptest, Smite the loins of his withstanders, And of  those hating him -- that they rise not! 
05O 033:012 Of Benjamin he said: -- The beloved of Jehovah doth  tabernacle confidently by him, Covering him over all the day;  Yea, between his shoulders He doth tabernacle. 
05O 033:013 And of Joseph he said: -- Blessed of Jehovah [is] his  land, By precious things of the heavens, By dew, and by the  deep crouching beneath, 
05O 033:014 And by precious things -- fruits of the sun, And by  precious things -- cast forth by the moons, 
05O 033:015 And by chief things -- of the ancient mountains, And by  precious things -- of the age-during heights, 
05O 033:016 And by precious things -- of earth and its fulness, And  the good pleasure Of Him who is dwelling in the bush, -- Let it  come for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of him Who is  separate from his brethren. 
05O 033:017 His honour [is] a firstling of his ox, And his horns [are]  horns of a reem; By them peoples he doth push together To the  ends of earth; And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, And they  [are] the thousands of Manasseh. 
05O 033:018 And of Zebulun he said: -- Rejoice, O Zebulun, in thy  going out, And, O Issachar, in thy tents; 
05O 033:019 Peoples [to] the mountain they call, There they sacrifice  righteous sacrifices; For the abundance of the seas they suck,  And hidden things hidden in the sand. 
05O 033:020 And of Gad he said: -- Blessed of the Enlarger [is] Gad,  As a lioness he doth tabernacle, And hath torn the arm -- also  the crown! 
05O 033:021 And he provideth the first part for himself, For there the  portion of the lawgiver is covered, And he cometh [with] the  heads of the people; The righteousness of Jehovah he hath done,  And His judgments with Israel. 
05O 033:022 And of Dan he said: -- Dan [is] a lion's whelp; he doth  leap from Bashan. 
05O 033:023 And of Naphtali he said: -- O Naphtali, satisfied with  pleasure, And full of the blessing of Jehovah, West and south  possess thou. 
05O 033:024 And of Asher he said: -- Blessed with sons [is] Asher, Let  him be accepted by his brethren, And dipping in oil his foot. 
05O 033:025 Iron and brass [are] thy shoes, And as thy days -- thy  strength. 
05O 033:026 There is none like the God of Jeshurun, Riding the heavens  in thy help, And in His excellency the skies. 
05O 033:027 A habitation [is] the eternal God, And beneath [are] arms  age-during. And He casteth out from thy presence the enemy, and  saith, `Destroy!' 
05O 033:028 And Israel doth tabernacle [in] confidence alone; The eye  of Jacob [is] unto a land of corn and wine; Also His heavens  drop down dew. 
05O 033:029 O thy happiness, O Israel! who is like thee? A people  saved by Jehovah, The shield of thy help, And He who [is] the  sword of thine excellency: And thine enemies are subdued for  thee, And thou on their high places dost tread.' 
05O 034:001 And Moses goeth up from the plains of Moab unto mount Nebo,  the top of Pisgah, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and  Jehovah sheweth him all the land -- Gilead unto Dan, 
05O 034:002 and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh,  and all the land of Judah unto the further sea, 
05O 034:003 and the south, and the circuit of the valley of Jericho,  the city of palms, unto Zoar. 
05O 034:004 And Jehovah saith unto him, `This [is] the land which I  have sworn to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, To thy  seed I give it; I have caused thee to see with thine eyes, and  thither thou dost not pass over.' 
05O 034:005 And Moses, servant of the Lord, dieth there, in the land of  Moab, according to the command of Jehovah; 
05O 034:006 and He burieth him in a valley in the land of Moab,  over-against Beth-Peor, and no man hath known his burying place  unto this day. 
05O 034:007 And Moses [is] a son of a hundred and twenty years when he  dieth; his eye hath not become dim, nor hath his moisture fled. 
05O 034:008 And the sons of Israel bewail Moses in the plains of Moab  thirty days; and the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses  are completed. 
05O 034:009 And Joshua son of Nun is full of the spirit of wisdom, for  Moses had laid his hands upon him, and the sons of Israel  hearken unto him, and do as Jehovah commanded Moses. 
05O 034:010 And there hath not arisen a prophet any more in Israel  like Moses, whom Jehovah hath known face unto face, 
05O 034:011 in reference to all the signs and the wonders which  Jehovah sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to  all his servants, and to all his land, 
05O 034:012 and in reference to all the strong hand, and to all the  great fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.  
06O 001:001 And it cometh to pass after the death of Moses, servant of  Jehovah, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua son of Nun, minister  of Moses, saying, 
06O 001:002 `Moses my servant is dead, and now, rise, pass over this  Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I am  giving to them, to the sons of Israel. 
06O 001:003 `Every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth, to you  I have given it, as I have spoken unto Moses. 
06O 001:004 From this wilderness and Lebanon, and unto the great river,  the river Phrath, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the  great Sea -- the going in of the sun -- is your border. 
06O 001:005 `No man doth station himself before thee all days of thy  life; as I have been with Moses, I am with thee, I do not fail  thee, nor forsake thee; 
06O 001:006 be strong and courageous, for thou -- thou dost cause this  people to inherit the land which I have sworn to their fathers  to give to them. 
06O 001:007 `Only, be strong and very courageous, to observe to do  according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded thee;  thou dost not turn aside from it right or left, so that thou  dost act wisely in every [place] whither thou goest; 
06O 001:008 the book of this law doth not depart out of thy mouth, and  thou hast meditated in it by day and by night, so that thou  dost observe to do according to all that is written in it, for  then thou dost cause thy way to prosper, and then thou dost act  wisely. 
06O 001:009 `Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not  terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in  every [place] whither thou goest.' 
06O 001:010 And Joshua commandeth the authorities of the people,  saying, 
06O 001:011 `Pass over into the midst of the camp, and command the  people, saying, Prepare for yourselves provision, for within  three days ye are passing over this Jordan, to go in to possess  the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you to possess  it.' 
06O 001:012 And to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of  the tribe of Manasseh, hath Joshua spoken, saying, 
06O 001:013 `Remember the word which Moses, servant of Jehovah,  commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving rest to you,  and He hath given to you this land; 
06O 001:014 your wives, your infants, and your substance, abide in the  land which Moses hath given to you beyond the Jordan, and ye --  ye pass over by fifties, before your brethren, all the mighty  ones of valour, and have helped them, 
06O 001:015 till that Jehovah giveth rest to your brethren as to  yourselves, and they have possessed, even they, the land which  Jehovah your God is giving to them; then ye have turned back to  the land of your possession, and have possessed it, which  Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the Jordan,  [at] the sun-rising.' 
06O 001:016 And they answer Joshua, saying, `All that thou hast  commanded us we do; and unto every [place] whither thou dost  send us, we go; 
06O 001:017 according to all that we hearkened unto Moses [in], so we  hearken unto thee; surely Jehovah thy God is with thee as He  hath been with Moses. 
06O 001:018 Any man who doth provoke thy mouth, and doth not hear thy  words, in all that thou dost command him, is put to death;  only, be strong and courageous.' 
06O 002:001 And Joshua son of Nun sendeth from Shittim, two men, spies,  silently, saying, `Go, see the land -- and Jericho;' and they  go and come into the house of a woman, a harlot, and her name  [is] Rahab, and they lie down there. 
06O 002:002 And it is told to the king of Jericho, saying, `Lo, men have  come in hither to-night, from the sons of Israel, to search the  land. 
06O 002:003 And the king of Jericho sendeth unto Rahab, saying, `Bring  out the men who are coming in unto thee, who have come into thy  house, for to search the whole of the land they have come in. 
06O 002:004 And the woman taketh the two men, and hideth them, and saith  thus: `The men came in unto me, and I have not known whence  they [are]; 
06O 002:005 and it cometh to pass -- the gate is to [be] shut -- in the  dark, and the men have gone out; I have not known whither the  men have gone; pursue ye, hasten after them, for ye overtake  them;' 
06O 002:006 and she hath caused them to go up on the roof, and hideth  them with the flax wood, which is arranged for her on the roof. 
06O 002:007 And the men have pursued after them the way of the Jordan,  by the fords, and the gate they have shut afterwards, when the  pursuers have gone out after them. 
06O 002:008 And -- before they lie down -- she hath gone up unto them on  the roof, 
06O 002:009 and she saith unto the men, `I have known that Jehovah hath  given to you the land, and that your terror hath fallen upon  us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted at  your presence. 
06O 002:010 `For we have heard how Jehovah dried up the waters of the  Red Sea at your presence, in your going out of Egypt, and that  which ye have done to the two kings of the Amorite who [are]  beyond the Jordan; to Sihon and to Og whom ye devoted. 
06O 002:011 And we hear, and melt doth our heart, and there hath not  stood any more spirit in [any] man, from your presence, for  Jehovah your God, He [is] God in the heavens above, and on the  earth beneath. 
06O 002:012 `And now, swear ye, I pray you, to me by Jehovah -- because  I have done with you kindness -- that ye have done, even ye,  kindness with the house of my father, and have given to me a  true token, 
06O 002:013 and have kept alive my father, and my mother, and my  brothers, and my sisters, and all that they have, and have  delivered our souls from death.' 
06O 002:014 And the men say to her, `Our soul for yours -- to die; if  ye declare not this our matter, then it hath been, in Jehovah's  giving to us this land, that we have done with thee kindness  and truth.' 
06O 002:015 And she causeth them to go down by a rope through the  window, for her house [is] in the side of the wall, and in the  wall she [is] dwelling; 
06O 002:016 and she saith to them, `To the mountain go, lest the  pursuers come upon you; and ye have been hidden there three  days till the turning back of the pursuers, and afterwards ye  go on your way.' 
06O 002:017 And the men say unto her, `We are acquitted of this thine  oath which thou hast caused us to swear: 
06O 002:018 lo, we are coming into the land, this line of scarlet  thread thou dost bind to the window by which thou hast caused  us to go down, and thy father, and thy mother, and thy  brethren, and all the house of thy father thou dost gather unto  thee, to the house; 
06O 002:019 and it hath been, any one who goeth out from the doors of  thy house without, his blood [is] on his head, and we are  innocent; and any one who is with thee in the house, his blood  [is] on our head, if a hand is on him; 
06O 002:020 and if thou declare this our matter, then we have been  acquitted from thine oath which thou hast caused us to swear.' 
06O 002:021 And she saith, `According unto your words, so it [is];' and  she sendeth them away, and they go; and she bindeth the scarlet  line to the window. 
06O 002:022 And they go, and come in to the mountain, and abide there  three days until the pursuers have turned back; and the  pursuers seek in all the way, and have not found. 
06O 002:023 And the two men turn back, and come down from the hill, and  pass over, and come in unto Joshua son of Nun, and recount to  him all that hath come upon them; 
06O 002:024 and they say unto Joshua, `Surely Jehovah hath given into  our hand all the land; and also, all the inhabitants of the  land have melted at our presence.' 
06O 003:001 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and they journey  from Shittim, and come in unto the Jordan, he and all the sons  of Israel, and they lodge there before they pass over. 
06O 003:002 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days, that the  authorities pass over into the midst of the camp, 
06O 003:003 and command the people, saying, `When ye see the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah your God, and the priests, the Levites,  bearing it, then ye journey from your place, and have gone  after it; 
06O 003:004 only, a distance is between you and it, about two thousand  cubits by measure; ye do not come near unto it, so that ye know  the way in which ye go, for ye have not passed over in the way  heretofore.' 
06O 003:005 And Joshua saith unto the people, `Sanctify yourselves, for  to-morrow doth Jehovah do in your midst wonders.' 
06O 003:006 And Joshua speaketh unto the priests, saying, `Take up the  ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people;' and they  take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people. 
06O 003:007 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `This day I begin to make  thee great in the eyes of all Israel, so that they know that as  I was with Moses I am with thee; 
06O 003:008 and thou, thou dost command the priests bearing the ark of  the covenant, saying, When ye come unto the extremity of the  waters of the Jordan -- in the Jordan ye stand.' 
06O 003:009 And Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, `Come nigh hither,  and hear the words of Jehovah your God; 
06O 003:010 and Joshua saith, `By this ye know that the living God [is]  in your midst, and He doth certainly dispossess from before you  the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the  Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the  Jebusite: 
06O 003:011 lo, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is  passing over before you into Jordan; 
06O 003:012 and now, take for you twelve men out of the tribes of  Israel, one man -- one man for a tribe; 
06O 003:013 and it hath been, at the resting of the soles of the feet  of the priests bearing the ark of Jehovah, Lord of all the  earth, in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan  are cut off -- the waters which are coming down from above --  and they stand -- one heap.' 
06O 003:014 And it cometh to pass, in the journeying of the people from  their tents to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests bearing  the ark of the covenant before the people, 
06O 003:015 and at those bearing the ark coming in unto the Jordan, and  the feet of the priests bearing the ark have been dipped in the  extremity of the waters (and the Jordan is full over all its  banks all the days of harvest) -- 
06O 003:016 that the waters stand; those coming down from above have  risen -- one heap, very far above Adam the city, which [is] at  the side of Zaretan; and those going down by the sea of the  plain, the Salt Sea, have been completely cut off; and the  people have passed through over-against Jericho; 
06O 003:017 and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah  stand on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan -- established,  and all Israel are passing over on dry ground till that all the  nation hath completed to pass over the Jordan. 
06O 004:001 And it cometh to pass, when all the nation hath completed to  pass over the Jordan, that Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua,  saying, 
06O 004:002 `Take for you out of the people twelve men, one man -- one  man out of a tribe; 
06O 004:003 and command ye them, saying, Take up for you from this  [place], from the midst of the Jordan, from the established  standing-place of the feet of the priests, twelve stones, and  ye have removed them over with you, and placed them in the  lodging-place in which ye lodge to-night.' 
06O 004:004 And Joshua calleth unto the twelve men whom he prepared out  of the sons of Israel, one man -- one man out of a tribe; 
06O 004:005 and Joshua saith to them, `Pass over before the ark of  Jehovah your God unto the midst of the Jordan and lift up for  you each, one stone on his shoulder, according to the number of  the tribes of the sons of Israel, 
06O 004:006 so that this is a sign in your midst, when your children ask  hereafter, saying, What [are] these stones to you? 
06O 004:007 that ye have said to them, Because the waters of the Jordan  were cut off, at the presence of the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah; in its passing over into the Jordan were the waters  of the Jordan cut off; and these stones have been for a  memorial to the sons of Israel -- to the age.' 
06O 004:008 And the sons of Israel do so as Joshua commanded, and take  up twelve stones out of the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah  hath spoken unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes  of the sons of Israel, and remove them over with them unto the  lodging-place, and place them there, 
06O 004:009 even the twelve stones hath Joshua raised up out of the  midst of the Jordan, the place of the standing of the feet of  the priests bearing the ark of the covenant, and they are there  unto this day. 
06O 004:010 And the priests bearing the ark are standing in the midst  of the Jordan till the completion of the whole thing which  Jehovah commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to  all that Moses commanded Joshua, and the people haste and pass  over. 
06O 004:011 And it cometh to pass when all the people have completed to  pass over, that the ark of Jehovah passeth over, and the  priests, in the presence of the people; 
06O 004:012 and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half  of the tribe of Manasseh, pass over, by fifties, before the  sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken unto them; 
06O 004:013 about forty thousand, armed ones of the host, passed over  before Jehovah for battle, unto the plains of Jericho. 
06O 004:014 On that day hath Jehovah made Joshua great in the eyes of  all Israel, and they reverence him, as they reverenced Moses,  all days of his life. 
06O 004:015 And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying, 
06O 004:016 `Command the priests bearing the ark of the testimony, and  they come up out of the Jordan.' 
06O 004:017 And Joshua commandeth the priests, saying, `Come ye up out  of the Jordan.' 
06O 004:018 And it cometh to pass, in the coming up of the priests  bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the midst of  the Jordan -- the soles of the feet of the priests have been  drawn up into the dry ground -- and the waters of the Jordan  turn back to their place, and go as heretofore over all its  banks. 
06O 004:019 And the people have come up out of the Jordan on the tenth  of the first month, and encamp in Gilgal, in the extremity east  of Jericho; 
06O 004:020 and these twelve stones, which they have taken out of the  Jordan, hath Joshua raised up in Gilgal. 
06O 004:021 And he speaketh unto the sons of Israel, saying, `When your  sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, What [are] these  stones? 
06O 004:022 then ye have caused your sons to know, saying, On dry land  Israel passed over this Jordan; 
06O 004:023 because Jehovah your God dried up the waters of the Jordan  at your presence, till your passing over, as Jehovah your God  did to the Red Sea which He dried up at our presence till our  passing over; 
06O 004:024 so that all the people of the land do know the hand of  Jehovah that it [is] strong, so that ye have reverenced Jehovah  your God all the days.' 
06O 005:001 And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite  which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the  kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that  Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence  of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart  is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit  because of the presence of the sons of Israel. 
06O 005:002 At that time said Jehovah unto Joshua, `Make for thee knives  of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a second  time;' 
06O 005:003 and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth  the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins. 
06O 005:004 And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth  [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males,  all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in  their coming out of Egypt, 
06O 005:005 for all the people who are coming out were circumcised, and  all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in  their coming out from Egypt, they have not circumcised; 
06O 005:006 for forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the  wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are  coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah,  to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which  Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing  with milk and honey, are consumed; 
06O 005:007 and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua  circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have  not circumcised them in the way. 
06O 005:008 And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to  be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp  till their recovering; 
06O 005:009 and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `To-day I have rolled the  reproach of Egypt from off you;' and [one] calleth the name of  that place Gilgal unto this day. 
06O 005:010 And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the  passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the  plains of Jericho; 
06O 005:011 and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of  the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this  self-same day; 
06O 005:012 and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of  the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to  the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of  Canaan in that year. 
06O 005:013 And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he  lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing  over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua  goeth unto him, and saith to him, `Art thou for us or for our  adversaries?' 
06O 005:014 And He saith, `No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah's host; now  I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and  doth obeisance, and saith to Him, `What is my Lord speaking  unto His servant?' 
06O 005:015 And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, `Cast  off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art  standing is holy;' and Joshua doth so; 
06O 006:001 (And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up, because of  the presence of the sons of Israel -- none going out, and none  coming in;) 
06O 006:002 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `See, I have given into thy  hand Jericho and its king -- mighty ones of valour, 
06O 006:003 and ye have compassed the city -- all the men of battle --  going round the city once; thus thou dost six days; 
06O 006:004 and seven priests do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee  before the ark, and on the seventh day ye compass the city  seven times, and the priests blow with the trumpets, 
06O 006:005 and it hath been, in the prolongation of the horn of the  jubilee, in your hearing the voice of the trumpet,  all the people shout -- a great shout, and the wall of the  city hath fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each  over-against him.' 
06O 006:006 And Joshua son of Nun calleth unto the priests, and saith  unto them, `Bear ye the ark of the covenant, and seven priests  do bear seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of  Jehovah;' 
06O 006:007 and He said unto the people, `Pass over, and compass the  city, and he who is armed doth pass over before the ark of  Jehovah.' 
06O 006:008 And it cometh to pass, when Joshua speaketh unto the people,  that the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee  before Jehovah have passed over and blown with the trumpets,  and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is going after them; 
06O 006:009 and he who is armed is going before the priests blowing the  trumpets, and he who is gathering up is going after the ark,  going on and blowing with the trumpets; 
06O 006:010 and the people hath Joshua commanded, saying, `Ye do not  shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor doth there go out  from your mouth a word, till the day of my saying unto you,  Shout ye -- then ye have shouted.' 
06O 006:011 And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round  once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp. 
06O 006:012 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests  bear the ark of Jehovah, 
06O 006:013 and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee  before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have  blown with the trumpets -- and he who is armed is going before  them, and he who is gathering up is going behind  the ark of Jehovah -- going on and blowing with the trumpets. 
06O 006:014 And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn  back to the camp; thus they have done six days. 
06O 006:015 And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise  early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city,  according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they  have compassed the city seven times); 
06O 006:016 and it cometh to pass, at the seventh time, the priests  have blown with the trumpets, and Joshua saith unto the people,  `Shout ye, for Jehovah hath given to you the city; 
06O 006:017 and the city hath been devoted, it and all that [is] in it,  to Jehovah; only Rahab the harlot doth live, she and all who  [are] with her in the house, for she hid the messengers whom we  sent; 
06O 006:018 and surely ye have kept from the devoted thing, lest ye  devote [yourselves], and have taken from the devoted thing, and  have made the camp of Israel become a devoted thing, and have  troubled it; 
06O 006:019 and all the silver and gold, and vessels of brass and iron,  holy they [are] to Jehovah; into the treasury of Jehovah they  come.' 
06O 006:020 And the people shout, and blow with the trumpets, and it  cometh to pass when the people hear the voice of the trumpet,  that the people shout -- a great shout, and the wall falleth  under it, and the people goeth up into the city, each  over-against him, and they capture the city; 
06O 006:021 and they devote all that [is] in the city, from man even  unto woman, from young even unto aged, even unto ox, and sheep,  and ass, by the mouth of the sword. 
06O 006:022 And to the two men who are spying the land Joshua said, `Go  into the house of the woman, the harlot, and bring out thence  the woman, and all whom she hath, as ye have sworn to her.' 
06O 006:023 And the young man, the spies, go in and bring out Rahab,  and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all whom  she hath; yea, all her families they have brought out, and  place them at the outside of the camp of Israel. 
06O 006:024 And the city they have burnt with fire, and all that [is]  in it; only, the silver and the gold, and the vessels of brass,  and of iron, they have given [to] the treasury of the house of  Jehovah; 
06O 006:025 and Rahab the harlot, and the house of her father, and all  whom she hath, hath Joshua kept alive; and she dwelleth in the  midst of Israel unto this day, for she hid the messengers whom  Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 
06O 006:026 And Joshua adjureth [them] at that time, saying, `Cursed  [is] the man before Jehovah who raiseth up and hath built this  city, [even] Jericho; in his first-born he doth lay its  foundation, and in his youngest he doth set up its doors;' 
06O 006:027 and Jehovah is with Joshua, and his fame is in all the  land. 
06O 007:001 And the sons of Israel commit a trespass in the devoted  thing, and Achan, son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of  the tribe of Judah, taketh of the devoted thing, and the anger  of Jehovah burneth against the sons of Israel. 
06O 007:002 And Joshua sendeth men from Jericho to Ai, which [is] near  Beth-Aven, on the east of Bethel, and speaketh unto them,  saying, `Go up and spy the land;' and the men go up and spy  Ai, 
06O 007:003 and they turn back unto Joshua, and say unto him, `Let not  all the people go up; let about two thousand men, or about  three thousand men, go up, and they smite Ai; cause not all  the people to labour thither; for they [are] few.' 
06O 007:004 And there go up of the people thither about three thousand  men, and they flee before the men of Ai, 
06O 007:005 and the men of Ai smite of them about thirty and six men,  and pursue them before the gate unto Shebarim, and they smite  them in Morad; and the heart of the people is melted, and becometh  water. 
06O 007:006 And Joshua rendeth his garments, and falleth on his face to  the earth before the ark of Jehovah till the evening, he and  the elders of Israel, and they cause dust to go up on their  head. 
06O 007:007 And Joshua saith, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, why hast Thou at all  caused this people to pass over the Jordan, to give us into the  hand of the Amorite to destroy us? -- and oh that we had been  willing -- and we dwell beyond the Jordan! 
06O 007:008 Oh, Lord, what do I say, after that Israel hath turned the  neck before its enemies? 
06O 007:009 and the Canaanite and all the inhabitants of the land do  hear, and have come round against us, and cut off our name out  of the earth; and what dost Thou do for Thy great name?' 
06O 007:010 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Rise for thee, why [is]  this? -- thou [art] falling on thy face? 
06O 007:011 Israel hath sinned, and also they have transgressed My  covenant which I commanded them, and also taken of the devoted  thing, and also stolen, and also deceived, and also put [it]  among their vessels, 
06O 007:012 and the sons of Israel have not been able to stand before  their enemies; the neck they turn before their enemies, for  they have become a devoted thing; I add not to be with you --  if ye destroy not the devoted thing out of your midst. 
06O 007:013 `Rise, sanctify the people, and thou hast said, Sanctify  yourselves for to-morrow; for thus said Jehovah, God of  Israel, A devoted thing [is] in thy midst, O Israel, thou art  not able to stand before thine enemies till your turning aside  of the devoted thing out of your midst; 
06O 007:014 and ye have been brought near in the morning by your  tribes, and it hath been, the tribe which Jehovah doth capture  doth draw near by families, and the family which Jehovah doth  capture doth draw near by households, and the household which  Jehovah doth capture doth draw near by men; 
06O 007:015 and it hath been, he who is captured with the devoted thing  is burnt with fire, he and all that he hath, because he hath  transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he hath done  folly in Israel.' 
06O 007:016 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and bringeth Israel  near by its tribes, and the tribe of Judah is captured; 
06O 007:017 and he bringeth near the family of Judah, and he captureth  the family of the Zarhite; and he bringeth near the family of  the Zarhite by men, and Zabdi is captured; 
06O 007:018 and he bringeth near his household by men, and Achan -- son  of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah --  is captured. 
06O 007:019 And Joshua saith unto Achan, `My son, put, I pray thee,  honour on Jehovah, God of Israel, and give to Him thanks, and  declare, I pray thee, to me, what thou hast done -- hide not  from me.' 
06O 007:020 And Achan answereth Joshua, and saith, `Truly I have sinned  against Jehovah, God of Israel, and thus and thus I have done; 
06O 007:021 and I see among the spoil a goodly robe of Shinar, and two  hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold, whose weight  [is] fifty shekels, and I desire them, and take them; and lo,  they [are] hid in the earth, in the midst of my tent, and the  silver under it.' 
06O 007:022 And Joshua sendeth messengers, and they run unto the tent,  and lo, it is hidden in his tent, and the silver under it; 
06O 007:023 and they take them out of the midst of the tent, and bring  them in unto Joshua, and unto all the sons of Israel, and pour  them out before Jehovah. 
06O 007:024 And Joshua taketh Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and  the robe, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his  daughters, and his ox, and his ass, and his flock, and his  tent, and all that he hath, and all Israel with him, and they  cause them to go up the valley of Achor. 
06O 007:025 And Joshua saith, `What! thou hast troubled us! -- Jehovah  doth trouble thee this day;' and all Israel cast stones at  him, and they burn them with fire, and they stone them with  stones, 
06O 007:026 and they raise up over him a great heap of stones unto this  day, and Jehovah turneth back from the heat of His anger,  therefore hath [one] called the name of that place `Valley of  Achor' till this day. 
06O 008:001 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Fear not, nor be affrighted,  take with thee all the people of war, and rise, go up to Ai;  see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people,  and his city, and his land, 
06O 008:002 and thou hast done to Ai and to her king as thou hast done  to Jericho and to her king; only, its spoil and its cattle ye  spoil for yourselves; set for thee an ambush for the city at  its rear.' 
06O 008:003 And Joshua riseth, and all the people of war, to go up to  Ai, and Joshua chooseth thirty thousand men, mighty ones of  valour, and sendeth them away by night, 
06O 008:004 and commandeth them, saying, `See, ye are liers in wait  against the city, at the rear of the city, ye go not very far  off from the city, and all of you have been prepared, 
06O 008:005 and I and all the people who [are] with me draw near unto  the city, and it hath come to pass when they come out to meet  us as at the first, and we have fled before them, 
06O 008:006 and they have come out after us till we have drawn them out  of the city, for they say, They are fleeing before us as at the  first, and we have fled before them, 
06O 008:007 and ye rise from the ambush, and have occupied the city, and  Jehovah your God hath given it into your hand; 
06O 008:008 and it hath been, when ye capture the city, ye burn the city  with fire, according to the word of Jehovah ye do, see, I have  commanded you.' 
06O 008:009 And Joshua sendeth them away, and they go unto the ambush,  and abide between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai; and Joshua  lodgeth on that night in the midst of the people. 
06O 008:010 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and inspecteth the  people, and goeth up, he and the elders of Israel, before the  people to Ai; 
06O 008:011 and all the people of war who [are] with him have gone up,  and draw nigh and come in over-against the city, and encamp on  the north of Ai; and the valley [is] between him and Ai. 
06O 008:012 And he taketh about five thousand men, and setteth them an  ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city; 
06O 008:013 and they set the people, all the camp which [is] on the  north of the city, and its rear on the west of the city, and  Joshua goeth on that night into the midst of the valley. 
06O 008:014 And it cometh to pass, when the king of Ai seeth [it], that  hasten, and rise early, and go out do the men of the city to  meet Israel for battle, he and all his people, at the appointed  season, at the front of the plain, and he hath not known that  an ambush [is] against him, on the rear of the city. 
06O 008:015 And Joshua and all Israel [seem] stricken before them, and  flee the way of the wilderness, 
06O 008:016 and all the people who [are] in the city are called to  pursue after them, and they pursue after Joshua, and are drawn  away out of the city, 
06O 008:017 and there hath not been left a man in Ai and Bethel who  hath not gone out after Israel, and they leave the city open,  and pursue after Israel. 
06O 008:018 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Stretch out with the  javelin which [is] in thy hand towards Ai, for into thy hand I  give it;' and Joshua stretcheth out with the javelin which [is]  in his hand toward the city, 
06O 008:019 and the ambush hath risen [with] haste, out of its place,  and they run at the stretching out of his hand, and go into the  city, and capture it, and hasten, and burn the city with fire. 
06O 008:020 And the men of Ai look behind them, and see, and lo, the  smoke of the city hath gone up unto the heavens, and there hath  not been in them power to flee hither and thither -- and the  people who are fleeing to the wilderness have turned against  the pursuer, -- 
06O 008:021 and Joshua and all Israel have seen that the ambush hath  captured the city, and that the smoke of the city hath gone up,  and they turn back and smite the men of Ai; 
06O 008:022 and these have come out from the city to meet them, and  they are in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on  that, and they smite them till he hath not left to them a  remnant and escaped one; 
06O 008:023 and the king of Ai they caught alive, and bring him near  unto Joshua. 
06O 008:024 And it cometh to pass, at Israel's finishing to slay all  the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which  they pursued them (and they fall all of them by the mouth of  the sword till their consumption), that all Israel turn back to  Ai, and smite it by the mouth of the sword; 
06O 008:025 and all who fall during the day, of men and of women, are  twelve thousand -- all men of Ai. 
06O 008:026 And Joshua hath not brought back his hand which he  stretched out with the javelin till that he hath devoted all  the inhabitants of Ai; 
06O 008:027 only, the cattle and the spoil of that city have Israel  spoiled for themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which  He commanded Joshua. 
06O 008:028 And Joshua burneth Ai, and maketh it a heap age-during -- a  desolation unto this day; 
06O 008:029 and the king of Ai he hath hanged on the tree till  even-time, and at the going in of the sun hath Joshua  commanded, and they take down his carcase from the tree, and  cast it unto the opening of the gate of the city, and raise  over it a great heap of stones till this day. 
06O 008:030 Then doth Joshua build an altar to Jehovah, God of Israel,  in mount Ebal, 
06O 008:031 as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded the sons of Israel,  as it is written in the book of the law of Moses -- an altar of  whole stones, over which he hath not waved iron -- and they  cause to go up upon it burnt-offerings to Jehovah, and  sacrifice peace-offerings; 
06O 008:032 and he writeth there on the stones the copy of the law of  Moses, which he hath written in the presence of the sons of  Israel. 
06O 008:033 And all Israel, and its elders, and authorities, and its  judges, are standing on this side and on that of the ark,  over-against the priests, the Levites, bearing the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah, as well the sojourner as the native, half  of them over-against mount Gerizim, and the half of them  over-against mount Ebal, as Moses servant of Jehovah commanded  to bless the people of Israel at the first. 
06O 008:034 And afterwards he hath proclaimed all the words of the law,  the blessing and the reviling, according to all that is written  in the book of the law; 
06O 008:035 there hath not been a thing of all that Moses commanded  which Joshua hath not proclaimed before all the assembly of  Israel, and the women, and the infants, and the sojourner who  is going in their midst. 
06O 009:001 And it cometh to pass, when all the kings who [are] beyond  the Jordan, in the hill-country, and in the low-country, and in  every haven of the great sea, over-against Lebanon, the  Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the  Hivite, and the Jebusite, hear -- 
06O 009:002 that they gather themselves together to fight with Joshua,  and with Israel -- one mouth. 
06O 009:003 And the inhabitants of Gibeon have heard that which Joshua  hath done to Jericho and to Ai, 
06O 009:004 and they work, even they, with subtilty, and go, and feign  to be ambassadors, and take old sacks for their asses, and  wine-bottles, old, and rent, and bound up, 
06O 009:005 and sandals, old and patched, on their feet, and old  garments upon them, and all the bread of their provision is dry  -- it was crumbs. 
06O 009:006 And they go unto Joshua, unto the camp at Gilgal, and say  unto him, and unto the men of Israel, `From a land far off we  have come, and now, make with us a covenant;' 
06O 009:007 and the men of Israel say unto the Hivite, `It may be in our  midst ye are dwelling, and how do we make with thee a  covenant?' 
06O 009:008 and they say unto Joshua, `Thy servants we [are].' And  Joshua saith unto them, `Who [are] ye? and whence come ye?' 
06O 009:009 And they say unto him, `From a land very far off have thy  servants come, for the name of Jehovah thy God, for we have  heard His fame, and all that He hath done in Egypt, 
06O 009:010 and all that He hath done to the two kings of the Amorite  who [are] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to  Og king of Bashan, who [is] in Ashtaroth. 
06O 009:011 `And our elders, and all the inhabitants of our land speak  unto us, saying, Take in your hand provision for the way, and  go to meet them, and ye have said unto them, Your servants we  [are], and now, make with us a covenant; 
06O 009:012 this our bread -- hot we provided ourselves with it out of  our houses, on the day of our coming out to go unto you, and  now, lo, it is dry, and hath been crumbs; 
06O 009:013 and these [are] the wine-bottles which we filled, new, and  lo, they have rent; and these, our garments and our sandals,  have become old, from the exceeding greatness of the way.' 
06O 009:014 And the men take of their provision, and the mouth of  Jehovah have not asked; 
06O 009:015 and Joshua maketh with them peace, and maketh with them a  covenant, to keep them alive; and swear to them do the princes  of the company. 
06O 009:016 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three days after that  they have made with them a covenant, that they hear that they  [are] their neighbours -- that in their midst they are  dwelling. 
06O 009:017 And the sons of Israel journey and come in unto their  cities on the third day -- and their cities [are] Gibeon, and  Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-Jearim -- 
06O 009:018 and the sons of Israel have not smitten them, for sworn to  them have the princes of the company by Jehovah God of Israel,  and all the company murmur against the princes. 
06O 009:019 And all the princes say unto all the company, `We -- we  have sworn to them by Jehovah, God of Israel; and now, we are  not able to come against them; 
06O 009:020 this we do to them, and have kept them alive, and wrath is  not upon us, because of the oath which we have sworn to them.' 
06O 009:021 And the princes say unto them, `They live, and are hewers  of wood and drawers of water for all the company, as the  princes spake to them.' 
06O 009:022 And Joshua calleth for them, and speaketh unto them,  saying, `Why have ye deceived us, saying, We are very far from  you, and ye in our midst dwelling? 
06O 009:023 and now, cursed are ye, and none of you is cut off [from  being] a servant, even hewers of wood and drawers of water, for  the house of my God.' 
06O 009:024 And they answer Joshua and say, `Because it was certainly  declared to thy servants, that Jehovah thy God commanded Moses  His servant to give to you all the land, and to destroy all the  inhabitants of the land from before you; and we fear greatly  for ourselves because of you, and we do this thing; 
06O 009:025 and now, lo, we [are] in thy hand, as [it is] good, and as  [it is] right in thine eyes to do to us -- do.' 
06O 009:026 And he doth to them so, and delivereth them from the hand  of the sons of Israel, and they have not slain them; 
06O 009:027 and Joshua maketh them on that day hewers of wood and  drawers of water for the company, and for the altar of Jehovah,  unto this day, at the place which He doth choose. 
06O 010:001 And it cometh to pass, when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem  heareth that Joshua hath captured Ai, and doth devote it (as he  had done to Jericho and to her king so he hath done to Ai and  to her king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon have made  peace with Israel, and are in their midst, -- 
06O 010:002 that they are greatly afraid, because Gibeon [is] a great  city, as one of the royal cities, and because it [is] greater  than Ai, and all its men -- heroes. 
06O 010:003 And Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sendeth unto Hoham king  of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king  of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, 
06O 010:004 `Come up unto me, and help me, and we smite Gibeon, for it  hath made peace with Joshua, and with the sons of Israel.' 
06O 010:005 And five kings of the Amorite (the king of Jerusalem, the  king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the  king of Eglon) are gathered together, and go up, they and all  their camps, and encamp against Gibeon, and fight against it. 
06O 010:006 And the men of Gibeon send unto Joshua, unto the camp at  Gilgal, saying, `Let not thy hand cease from thy servants; come  up unto us [with] haste, and give safety to us, and help us;  for all the kings of the Amorite, dwelling in the hill-country,  have been assembled against us.' 
06O 010:007 And Joshua goeth up from Gilgal, he, and all the people of  war with him, even all the mighty men of valour. 
06O 010:008 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of them, for  into thy hand I have given them, there doth not stand a man of  them in thy presence.' 
06O 010:009 And Joshua cometh in unto them suddenly (all the night he  hath gone up from Gilgal), 
06O 010:010 and Jehovah doth crush them before Israel, and it smiteth  them -- a great smiting -- at Gibeon, and pursueth them the way  of the ascent of Beth-Horon, and smiteth them unto Azekah, and  unto Makkedah. 
06O 010:011 And it cometh to pass, in their fleeing from the face of  Israel -- they [are] in the descent of Beth-Horon -- and  Jehovah hath cast upon them great stones out of the heavens,  unto Azekah, and they die; more are they who have died by the  hailstones than they whom the sons of Israel have slain by the  sword. 
06O 010:012 Then speaketh Joshua to Jehovah in the day of Jehovah's  giving up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he saith,  before the eyes of Israel, `Sun -- in Gibeon stand still; and  moon -- in the valley of Ajalon;' 
06O 010:013 and the sun standeth still, and the moon hath stood -- till  the nation taketh vengeance [on] its enemies; is it not written  on the Book of the Upright, `and the sun standeth in the midst  of the heavens, and hath not hasted to go in -- as a perfect  day?' 
06O 010:014 And there hath not been like that day before it or after  it, for Jehovah's hearkening to the voice of a man; for Jehovah  is fighting for Israel. 
06O 010:015 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the  camp at Gilgal. 
06O 010:016 And these five kings flee, and are hidden in a cave at  Makkedah, 
06O 010:017 and it is declared to Joshua, saying, `The five kings have  been found hidden in a cave at Makkedah.' 
06O 010:018 And Joshua saith, `Roll great stones unto the mouth of the  cave, and appoint over it men to watch them; 
06O 010:019 and ye, stand not, pursue after your enemies, and ye have  smitten the hindmost of them; suffer them not to go in unto  their cities, for Jehovah your God hath given them into your  hand.' 
06O 010:020 And it cometh to pass, when Joshua and the sons of Israel  finish to smite them -- a very great smiting, till they are  consumed, and the remnant who have remained of them go in unto  the fenced cities, 
06O 010:021 that all the people turn back to the camp, unto Joshua,  [at] Makkedah, in peace; none moved sharply his tongue against  the sons of Israel. 
06O 010:022 And Joshua saith, `Open ye the mouth of the cave, and  bring out unto me these five kings from the cave;' 
06O 010:023 and they do so, and bring out unto him these five kings  from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the  king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. 
06O 010:024 And it cometh to pass, when they bring out these kings  unto Joshua, that Joshua calleth unto every man of Israel, and  saith unto the captains of the men of war, who have gone with  him, `Draw near, set your feet on the necks of these kings;'  and they draw near, and set their feet on their necks. 
06O 010:025 And Joshua saith unto them, `Fear not, nor be affrighted;  be strong and courageous; for thus doth Jehovah do to all your  enemies with whom ye are fighting;' 
06O 010:026 and Joshua smiteth them afterwards, and putteth them to  death, and hangeth them on five trees; and they are hanging on  the trees till the evening. 
06O 010:027 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the going in of the  sun, Joshua hath commanded, and they take them down from off  the trees, and cast them unto the cave where they had been hid,  and put great stones on the mouth of the cave till this very  day. 
06O 010:028 And Makkedah hath Joshua captured on that day, and he  smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and its king he hath  devoted, them and every person who [is] in it -- he hath not  left a remnant; and he doth to the king of Makkedah as he did  to the king of Jericho. 
06O 010:029 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from  Makkedah [to] Libnah, and fighteth with Libnah; 
06O 010:030 and Jehovah giveth also it into the hand of Israel, and  its king, and it smiteth it by the mouth of the sword, and  every person who [is] in it -- it left not in it a remnant; and  it doth to its king as it did to the king of Jericho. 
06O 010:031 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from  Libnah to Lachish, and encampeth against it, and fighteth  against it; 
06O 010:032 And Jehovah giveth Lachish into the hand of Israel, and it  captureth it on the second day, and smiteth it by the mouth of  the sword, and every person who [is] in it, according to all  that it did to Libnah. 
06O 010:033 Than hath Horam king of Gezer come up to help Lachish, and  Joshua smiteth him and his people, till he hath not left to him a  remnant. 
06O 010:034 And Joshua passeth over, and all Israel with him, from  Lachish to Eglon, and they encamp against it, and fight against  it, 
06O 010:035 and capture it on that day, and smite it by the mouth of  the sword, and every person who [is] in it on that day he hath  devoted, according to all that he did to Lachish. 
06O 010:036 And Joshua goeth up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon  to Hebron, and they fight against it, 
06O 010:037 and capture it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword,  and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [is] in  it -- he hath not left a remnant -- according to all that he  did to Eglon -- and doth devote it, and every person who [is]  in it. 
06O 010:038 And Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, to  Debir, and fighteth against it, 
06O 010:039 and captureth it, and its king, and all its cities, and  they smite them by the mouth of the sword, and devote every  person who [is] in it -- he hath not left a remnant; as he did  to Hebron so he did to Debir, and to its king, and as he did to  Libnah, and to its king. 
06O 010:040 And Joshua smiteth all the land of the hill-country, and  of the south, and of the low-country, and of the springs, and  all their kings -- he hath not left a remnant, and all that  doth breathe he hath devoted, as Jehovah, God of Israel,  commanded. 
06O 010:041 And Joshua smiteth them from Kadesh-Barnea, even unto  Gaza, and all the land of Goshen, even unto Gibeon; 
06O 010:042 and all these kings and their land hath Joshua captured  [at] one time, for Jehovah, God of Israel, is fighting for  Israel. 
06O 010:043 and Joshua turneth back, and all Israel with him, unto the  camp at Gilgal. 
06O 011:001 And it cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth,  that he sendeth unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of  Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph, 
06O 011:002 and unto the kings who [are] on the north in the  hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the  low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west, 
06O 011:003 [to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the  Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite  in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land  of Mizpeh -- 
06O 011:004 and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a  people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for  multitude, and horse and charioteer very many; 
06O 011:005 and all these kings are met together, and they come and  encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. 
06O 011:006 And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of their  presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them  wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their  chariots burn with fire.' 
06O 011:007 And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him,  against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on  them; 
06O 011:008 and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they  smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto  Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and  they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant; 
06O 011:009 and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their  horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire. 
06O 011:010 And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor,  and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly  [is] head of all these kingdoms; 
06O 011:011 and they smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of  the sword; he hath devoted -- he hath not left any one  breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt with fire; 
06O 011:012 and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings,  hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the  sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah,  commanded. 
06O 011:013 Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill,  Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua  burnt; 
06O 011:014 and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have  the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human  being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their  destroying them; they have not left any one breathing. 
06O 011:015 As Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses  command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned  aside a thing of all that Jehovah commanded Moses. 
06O 011:016 And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all  the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and  the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands, 
06O 011:017 from the mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and  unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon;  and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and  putteth them to death. 
06O 011:018 Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war; 
06O 011:019 there hath not been a city which made peace with the sons  of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole  they have taken in battle; 
06O 011:020 for from Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart,  to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that  they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah  commanded Moses. 
06O 011:021 And Joshua cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim  from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even  from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country  of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them. 
06O 011:022 There hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of  Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left. 
06O 011:023 And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all  that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for  an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their  tribes; and the land hath rest from war. 
06O 012:001 And these [are] kings of the land whom the sons of Israel  have smitten, and possess their land, beyond the Jordan, at the  sun-rising, from the brook Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the  plain eastward. 
06O 012:002 Sihon, king of the Amorite, who is dwelling in Heshbon,  ruling from Aroer which [is] on the border of the brook Arnon,  and the middle of the brook, and half of Gilead, and unto Jabok  the brook, the border of the Bene-Ammon; 
06O 012:003 And the plain unto the sea of Chinneroth eastward, and unto  the sea of the plain (the salt sea) eastward, the way to  Beth-Jeshimoth, and from the south under the springs of Pisgah. 
06O 012:004 And the border of Og king of Bashan (of the remnant of the  Rephaim), who is dwelling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, 
06O 012:005 and ruling in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all  Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurite, and the Maachathite,  and the half of Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. 
06O 012:006 Moses, servant of Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have  smitten them, and Moses, servant of Jehovah, giveth it -- a  possession to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half  of the tribe of Manasseh. 
06O 012:007 And these [are] kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons  of Israel have smitten beyond the Jordan westward, from  Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, and unto the mount of  Halak, which is going up to Seir; and Joshua giveth it to the  tribes of Israel -- a possession according to their divisions; 
06O 012:008 in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the  plain, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the  south; the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the  Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: 
06O 012:009 The king of Jericho, one; The king of Ai, which [is] beside  Bethel, one; 
06O 012:010 The king of Jerusalem, one; The king of Hebron, one; 
06O 012:011 The king of Jarmuth, one; The king of Lachish, one; 
06O 012:012 The king of Eglon, one; The king of Gezer, one; 
06O 012:013 The king of Debir, one; The king of Geder, one; 
06O 012:014 The king of Hormah, one; The king of Arad, one; 
06O 012:015 The king of Libnah, one; The king of Adullam, one; 
06O 012:016 The king of Mekkedah, one; The king of Beth-El, one; 
06O 012:017 The king of Tappuah, one; The king of Hepher, one; 
06O 012:018 The king of Aphek, one; The king of Lasharon, one; 
06O 012:019 The king of Madon, one; The king of Hazor, one; 
06O 012:020 The king of Shimron-Meron, one; The king of Achshaph, one; 
06O 012:021 The king of Taanach, one; The king of Megiddo, one; 
06O 012:022 The king of Kedesh, one; The king of Jokneam of Carmel,  one; 
06O 012:023 The king of Dor, at the elevation of Dor, one; The king of  the Goyim of Gilgal, one; 
06O 012:024 The king of Tirzah, one; all the kings [are] thirty and  one. 
06O 013:001 And Joshua is old, entering into days, and Jehovah saith  unto him, `Thou hast become aged, thou hast entered into days;  as to the land, very much hath been left to possess. 
06O 013:002 `This [is] the land that is left; all the circuits of the  Philistines, and all Geshuri, 
06O 013:003 from Sihor which [is] on the front of Egypt, and unto the  border of Ekron northward, to the Canaanite it is reckoned,  five princes of the Philistines, the Gazathite, and the  Ashdothite, the Eshkalonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite,  also the Avim. 
06O 013:004 `From the south, all the land of the Canaanite, and Mearah,  which [is] to the Sidonians, unto Aphek, unto the border of the  Amorite; 
06O 013:005 and the land of the Giblite, and all Lebanon, at the  sun-rising, from Baal-Gad under mount Hermon, unto the going in  to Hamath: 
06O 013:006 all the inhabitants of the hill-country, from Lebanon unto  Misrephoth-Maim, all the Sidonians: I -- I dispossess them  before the sons of Israel; only, cause it to fall to Israel for  an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. 
06O 013:007 `And now, apportion this land for an inheritance to the  nine tribes, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh,' -- 
06O 013:008 with it the Reubenite, and the Gadite, have received their  inheritance, which Moses hath given to them beyond the Jordan  eastward, as Moses servant of Jehovah hath given to them; 
06O 013:009 from Aroer, which [is] on the edge of the brook Arnon, and  the city which [is] in the midst of the brook, and all the  plain of Medeba unto Dihon, 
06O 013:010 and all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorite, who  reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the Bene-Ammon, 
06O 013:011 and Gilead, and the border of the Geshurite, and of the  Maachathite, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah; 
06O 013:012 all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth  and in Edrei; he was left of the remnant of the Rephaim, and  Moses doth smite them, and dispossess them; 
06O 013:013 and the sons of Israel dispossessed not the Geshurite, and  the Maachathite; and Geshur and Maachath dwell in the midst of  Israel unto this day. 
06O 013:014 Only, to the tribe of Levi he hath not given an  inheritance; fire-offerings of Jehovah, God of Israel, is its  inheritance, as He hath spoken to it. 
06O 013:015 And Moses giveth to the tribe of the sons of Reuben, for  their families; 
06O 013:016 and the border is to them from Aroer, which [is] on the  edge of the brook Arnon, and the city which [is] in the midst  of the brook, and all the plain by Medeba, 
06O 013:017 Heshbon, and all its cities which [are] in the plain,  Dibon, and Bamoth-Baal, and Beth-Baal-Meon, 
06O 013:018 and Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 
06O 013:019 and Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-Shahar, in the  mount of the valley, 
06O 013:020 and Beth-Peor, and the springs of Pisgah, and  Beth-Jeshimoth, 
06O 013:021 and all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of  Sihon king of the Amorite, who reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses  smote, with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and  Hur, and Reba, princes of Sihon, inhabitants of the land. 
06O 013:022 And Balaam, son of Beor, the diviner, have the sons of  Israel slain with the sword, among their wounded ones. 
06O 013:023 And the border of the sons of Reuben is the Jordan, and  [its] border; this [is] the inheritance of the sons of Reuben,  for their families, the cities and their villages. 
06O 013:024 And Moses giveth to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad,  for their families; 
06O 013:025 and the border is to them Jazer, and all the cities of  Gilead, and the half of the land of the Bene-Ammon, unto Aroer  which [is] on the front of Rabbah, 
06O 013:026 and from Heshbon unto Ramath-Mispeh, and Betonim, and from  Mahanaim unto the border of Debir, 
06O 013:027 and in the valley, Beth-Aram, and Beth-Nimrah, and  Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of  Heshbon, the Jordan and [its] border, unto the extremity of the  sea of Chinnereth, beyond the Jordan, eastward. 
06O 013:028 This [is] the inheritance of the sons of Gad, for their  families, the cities and their villages. 
06O 013:029 And Moses giveth to the half of the tribe of Manasseh; and  it is to the half of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, for  their families. 
06O 013:030 And their border is from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the  kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the small towns of Jair,  which [are] in Bashan, sixty cities; 
06O 013:031 and the half of Gilead, and Ashteroth, and Edrei, cities  of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [are] to the sons of Machir,  son of Manasseh, to the half of the sons of Machir, for their  families. 
06O 013:032 These [are] they whom Moses caused to inherit in the  plains of Moab, beyond the Jordan, [by] Jericho, eastward; 
06O 013:033 and to the tribe of Levi Moses gave not an inheritance;  Jehovah, God of Israel, Himself [is] their inheritance, as He  hath spoken to them. 
06O 014:001 And these [are] they [of] the sons of Israel who inherited  in the land of Canaan, whom Eleazar the priest, and Joshua son  of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons  of Israel, caused to inherit; 
06O 014:002 by lot [is] their inheritance, as Jehovah commanded by the  hand of Moses, for the nine of the tribes, and the half of the  tribe; 
06O 014:003 for Moses hath given the inheritance of two of the tribes,  and of half of the tribe, beyond the Jordan, and to the Levites  he hath not given an inheritance in their midst; 
06O 014:004 for the sons of Joseph hath been two tribes, Manasseh and  Ephraim, and they have not given a portion to the Levites in  the land, except cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for  their cattle, and for their possessions; 
06O 014:005 as Jehovah commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel  done, and they apportion the land. 
06O 014:006 And the sons of Judah come nigh unto Joshua in Gilgal, and  Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenezzite saith unto him, `Thou hast  known the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses the man of  God, concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-Barnea: 
06O 014:007 a son of forty years [am] I in Moses, servant of Jehovah,  sending me from Kadesh-Barnea, to spy the land, and I bring him  back word as with my heart; 
06O 014:008 and my brethren who have gone up with me have caused the  heart of the people to melt, and I have been fully after  Jehovah my God; 
06O 014:009 and Moses sweareth in that day, saying, If not -- the land  on which thy foot hath trodden, to thee it is for inheritance,  and to thy sons -- to the age, for thou hast been fully after  Jehovah my God. 
06O 014:010 `And, now, lo, Jehovah hath kept me alive, as He hath  spoken, these forty and five years, since Jehovah spake this  word unto Moses, when Israel went in the wilderness; and now,  lo, I [am] to-day a son of five and eighty years; 
06O 014:011 yet [am] I to-day strong as in the day of Moses' sending  me; as my power then, so [is] my power now, for battle, and to  go out, and to come in. 
06O 014:012 `And now, give to me this hill-country, of which Jehovah  spake in that day, for thou didst hear in that day, for Anakim  [are] there, and cities, great, fenced; if so be Jehovah [is]  with me, then I have dispossessed them, as Jehovah hath  spoken.' 
06O 014:013 And Joshua blesseth him, and giveth Hebron to Caleb son of  Jephunneh for an inheritance, 
06O 014:014 therefore hath Hebron been to Caleb son of Jephunneh the  Kenezzite for an inheritance unto this day, because that he was  fully after Jehovah, God of Israel; 
06O 014:015 and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba (he [is]  the great man among the Anakim); and the land hath rest from  war. 
06O 015:001 And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah, for their  families, is unto the border of Edom; the wilderness of Zin  southward, at the extremity of the south; 
06O 015:002 and to them the south border is at the extremity of the  salt sea, from the bay which is looking southward; 
06O 015:003 and it hath gone out unto the south to Maaleh-Akrabbim, and  passed over to Zin, and gone up on the south to Kadesh-Barnea,  and passed over [to] Hezron, and gone up to Adar, and turned  round to Karkaa, 
06O 015:004 and passed over [to] Azmon, and gone out [at] the brook of  Egypt, and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea;  this is to you the south border. 
06O 015:005 And the east border [is] the salt sea, unto the extremity  of the Jordan, and the border at the north quarter [is] from  the bay of the sea, at the extremity of the Jordan; 
06O 015:006 and the border hath gone up [to] Beth-Hoglah, and passed  over on the north of Beth-Arabah, and the border hath gone up  [to] the stone of Bohan son of Reuben: 
06O 015:007 and the border hath gone up towards Debir from the valley  of Achor, and northward looking unto Gilgal, which [is]  over-against the ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south of  the brook, and the border hath passed over unto the waters of  En-Shemesh, and its outgoings have been unto En-Rogel; 
06O 015:008 and the border hath gone up the valley of the son of  Hinnom, unto the side of the Jebusite on the south (it [is]  Jerusalem), and the border hath gone up unto the top of the  hill-country which [is] on the front of the valley of Hinnom  westward, which [is] in the extremity of the valley of the  Rephaim northward; 
06O 015:009 and the border hath been marked out, from the top of the  hill-country unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and  hath gone out unto the cities of mount Ephron, and the border  hath been marked out [to] Baalah, (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim); 
06O 015:010 and the border hath gone round from Baalah westward, unto  mount Seir, and passed over unto the side of mount Jearim (it  [is] Chesalon), on the north, and gone down [to] Beth-Shemesh,  and passed over to Timnah; 
06O 015:011 and the border hath gone out unto the side of Ekron  northward, and the border hath been marked out [to] Shicron,  and hath passed over to mount Baalah, and gone out [to]  Jabneel; and the outgoings of the border have been at the sea. 
06O 015:012 And the west border [is] to the great sea, and [its]  border; this [is] the border of the sons of Judah round about  for their families. 
06O 015:013 And to Caleb son of Jephunneh hath he given a portion in  the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the command of  Jehovah to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba, father of Anak --  it [is] Hebron. 
06O 015:014 And Caleb is dispossessing thence the three sons of Anak,  Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, children of Anak, 
06O 015:015 and he goeth up thence unto the inhabitants of Debir; and  the name of Debir formerly is Kirjath-Sepher. 
06O 015:016 And Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sephar, and hath  captured it -- I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a  wife.' 
06O 015:017 And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, doth capture  it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a wife. 
06O 015:018 And it cometh to pass, in her coming in, that she  persuadeth him to ask from her father a field, and she lighteth  from off the ass, and Caleb saith to her, `What -- to thee?' 
06O 015:019 And she saith, `Give to me a blessing; when the land of  the south thou hast given me, then thou hast given to me  springs of waters;' and he giveth to her the upper springs and  the lower springs. 
06O 015:020 This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of  Judah, for their families. 
06O 015:021 And the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons  of Judah are unto the border of Edom in the south, Kabzeel, and  Eder, and Jagur,

06O 016:001 And the lot for the sons of Joseph goeth out from Jordan  [by] Jericho, to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the  wilderness going up from Jericho in the hill-country of  Beth-El, 
06O 016:002 and hath gone out from Beth-El to Luz, and passed over unto  the border of Archi [to] Ataroth,

06O 016:008 From Tappuah the border goeth westward unto the brook of  Kanah, and its outgoings have been at the sea: this [is] the  inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, for their  families. 
06O 016:009 And the separate cities of the sons of Ephraim [are] in the  midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the  cities and their villages; 
06O 016:010 and they have not dispossessed the Canaanite who is  dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelleth in the midst of  Ephraim unto this day, and is to tribute -- a servant. 
06O 017:001 And the lot is for the tribe of Manasseh (for he [is]  first-born of Joseph), for Machir first-born of Manasseh,  father of Gilead, for he hath been a man of war, and his are  Gilead and Bashan. 
06O 017:002 And there is for the sons of Manasseh who are left, for  their families; for the sons of Abiezer, and for the sons of  Helek, and for the sons of Asriel, and for the sons of Shechem,  and for the sons of Hepher, and for the sons of Shemida; these  [are] the children of Manasseh son of Joseph -- the males -- by  their families.

06O 017:004 and they draw near before Eleazar the priest, and  before Joshua son of Nun, and before the princes,  saying, `Jehovah commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance  in the midst of our brethren;' and he giveth to them, at the  command of Jehovah, an inheritance in the midst of the brethren  of their father. 
06O 017:005 And ten portions fall [to] Manasseh, apart from the land of  Gilead and Bashan, which [are] beyond the Jordan; 
06O 017:006 for the daughters of Manasseh have inherited an inheritance  in the midst of his sons, and the land of Gilead hath been to  the sons of Manasseh who are left.

06O 017:012 And the sons of Manasseh have not been able to occupy  these cities, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in this  land, 
06O 017:013 and it cometh to pass when the sons of Israel have been  strong, that they put the Canaanite to tribute, and have not  utterly dispossessed him. 
06O 017:014 And the sons of Joseph speak with Joshua, saying,  `Wherefore hast thou given to me an inheritance -- one lot and  one portion, and I a numerous people? hitherto hath Jehovah  blessed me.' 
06O 017:015 And Joshua saith unto them, `If thou [art] a numerous  people, go up for thee to the forest, then thou hast prepared  for thee there, in the land of the Perizzite, and of the  Rephaim, when mount Ephraim hath been narrow for thee.' 
06O 017:016 And the sons of Joseph say, `The hill is not found to us,  and a chariot of iron [is] with every Canaanite who is dwelling  in the land of the valley -- to him who [is] in Beth-Shean and  its towns, and to him who [is] in the valley of Jezreel.' 
06O 017:017 And Joshua speaketh unto the house of Joseph, to Ephraim  and to Manasseh, saying, `Thou [art] a numerous people, and  hast great power; thou hast not one lot [only], 
06O 017:018 because the mountain is thine; because it [is] a forest --  thou hast prepared it, and its outgoings have been thine;  because thou dost dispossess the Canaanite, though it hath  chariots of iron -- though it [is] strong.' 
06O 018:001 And all the company of the sons of Israel are assembled  [at] Shiloh, and they cause the tent of meeting to tabernacle  there, and the land hath been subdued before them. 
06O 018:002 And there are left among the sons of Israel who have not  shared their inheritance, seven tribes, 
06O 018:003 and Joshua saith unto the sons of Israel, `Till when are ye  remiss to go in to possess the land which He hath given to you,  Jehovah, God of your fathers? 
06O 018:004 Give for you three men for a tribe, and I send them, and  they rise and go up and down through the land, and describe it  according to their inheritance, and come in unto me, 
06O 018:005 and they have divided it into seven portions -- Judah doth  stay by its border on the south, and the house of Joseph do  stay by their border on the north -- 
06O 018:006 and ye describe the land [in] seven portions, and have  brought [it] in unto me hither, and I have cast for you a lot  here before Jehovah our God; 
06O 018:007 for there is no portion to the Levites in your midst, for  the priesthood of Jehovah [is] their inheritance, and Gad, and  Reuben, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh received their  inheritance beyond the Jordan eastward, which Moses servant of  Jehovah gave to them.' 
06O 018:008 And the men rise and go; and Joshua commandeth those who  are going to describe the land, saying, `Go, and walk up and  down through the land, and describe it, and turn back unto me,  and here I cast for you a lot before Jehovah in Shiloh.' 
06O 018:009 And the men go, and pass over through the land, and  describe it by cities, in seven portions, on a book, and they  come in unto Joshua, unto the camp, [at] Shiloh. 
06O 018:010 And Joshua casteth for them a lot in Shiloh before  Jehovah, and there Joshua apportioneth the land to the sons of  Israel, according to their divisions. 
06O 018:011 And a lot goeth up [for] the tribe of the sons of  Benjamin, for their families; and the border of their lot goeth  out between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph. 
06O 018:012 And the border is to them at the north side from the  Jordan, and the border hath gone up unto the side of Jericho on  the north, and gone up through the hill-country westward, and  its outgoings have been at the wilderness of Beth-Aven; 
06O 018:013 and the border hath gone over thence to Luz, unto the side  of Luz (it [is] Beth-El) southward, and the border hath gone  down [to] Atroth-Addar, by the hill that [is] on the south of  the lower Beth-Horon; 
06O 018:014 and the border hath been marked out, and hath gone round  to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which [is] at  the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been  unto Kirjath-Baal (it [is] Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons  of Judah: this [is] the west quarter. 
06O 018:015 And the south quarter [is] from the end of Kirjath-Jearim,  and the border hath gone out westward, and gone out unto the  fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; 
06O 018:016 and the border hath come down unto the extremity of the  hill which [is] on the front of the valley of the  son of Hinnom, which [is] in the valley of the  Rephaim northward, and hath gone down  the valley of Hinnom unto the side of Jebusi  southward, and gone down [to] En-Rogel, 
06O 018:017 and hath been marked out on the north, and gone out to  En-Shemesh, and gone out unto Geliloth, which [is] over-against  the ascent of Adummim, and gone down [to] the stone of Bohan  son of Reuben, 
06O 018:018 and passed over unto the side over-against Arabah  northward, and gone down to Arabah; 
06O 018:019 and the border hath passed over unto the side of  Beth-Hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border have  been unto the north bay of the salt sea, unto the south  extremity of the Jordan; this [is] the south border;

06O 019:051 These [are] the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and  Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes  of the sons of Israel, have caused to inherit by lot, in  Shiloh, before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting;  and they finish to apportion the land. 
06O 020:001 And Jehovah speaketh unto Joshua, saying, 
06O 020:002 `Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Give for you cities  of refuge, as I have spoken unto you by the hand of Moses, 
06O 020:003 for the fleeing thither of a man-slayer smiting life  inadvertently, without knowledge; and they have been to you for  a refuge from the redeemer of blood. 
06O 020:004 `When [one] hath fled unto one of these cities, and hath  stood [at] the opening of the gate of the city, and hath spoken  in the ears of the elders of that city his matter, then they  have gathered him into the city unto them, and have given to  him a place, and he hath dwelt with them. 
06O 020:005 `And when the redeemer of blood doth pursue after him, then  they do not shut up the man-slayer into his hand, for without  knowledge he hath smitten his neighbour, and is not hating him  hitherto; 
06O 020:006 and he hath dwelt in that city till his standing before the  company for judgment, till the death of the chief priest who is  in those days -- then doth the man-slayer turn back and hath  come unto his city, and unto his house, unto the city whence he  fled.' 
06O 020:007 And they sanctify Kedesh in Galilee, in the hill-country of  Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and  Kirjath-Arba (it [is] Hebron), in the hill-country of Judah; 
06O 020:008 and beyond the Jordan, [at] Jericho eastward, they have  given Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain, out of the tribe  of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and  Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. 
06O 020:009 These have been cities of meeting for all the sons of  Israel, and for a sojourner who is sojourning in their midst,  for the fleeing thither of any one smiting life inadvertently,  and he doth not die by the hand of the redeemer of blood till  his standing before the company. 
06O 021:001 And the heads of the fathers of the Levites draw nigh unto  Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua son of Nun, and unto the  heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, 
06O 021:002 and they speak unto them in Shiloh, in the land of Canaan,  saying, `Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses to give to us  cities to dwell in, and their suburbs for our cattle.' 
06O 021:003 And the sons of Israel give to the Levites, out of their  inheritance, at the command of Jehovah, these cities and their  suburbs:

06O 021:008 And the sons of Israel give to the Levites these cities and  their suburbs, as Jehovah commanded by the hand of Moses, by  lot. 
06O 021:009 And they give out of the tribe of the sons of Judah, and  out of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, these cities which are  called by name; 
06O 021:010 and they are for the sons of Aaron, of the families of the  Kohathite, of the sons of Levi, for theirs hath been the first  lot;

06O 021:041 All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the  possession of the sons of Israel [are] forty and eight cities,  and their suburbs. 
06O 021:042 These cities are each city and its suburbs round about it;  so to all these cities. 
06O 021:043 And Jehovah giveth to Israel the whole of the land which  He hath sworn to give to their fathers, and they possess it, and  dwell in it; 
06O 021:044 and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about, according to  all that which He hath sworn to their fathers, and there hath  not stood a man in their presence of all their enemies, the  whole of their enemies hath Jehovah given into their hand; 
06O 021:045 there hath not fallen a thing of all the good thing which  Jehovah spake unto the house of Israel -- the whole hath come. 
06O 022:001 Then Joshua calleth for the Reubenite, and for the Gadite,  and for the half of the tribe of Manasseh, 
06O 022:002 and saith unto them, `Ye -- ye have kept the whole of that  which Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, and ye hearken  to my voice, to all that I have commanded you; 
06O 022:003 ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this  day, and have kept the charge -- the command of Jehovah your  God. 
06O 022:004 `And, now, Jehovah your God hath given rest to your  brethren, as He spake to them; and now, turn ye, and go for  yourselves to your tents, unto the land of your possession,  which Moses, servant of Jehovah, hath given to you beyond the  Jordan. 
06O 022:005 Only, be very watchful to do the command and the law which  Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded you, to love Jehovah your  God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and  to cleave to Him, and to serve Him, with all your heart, and  with all your soul.' 
06O 022:006 And Joshua blesseth them, and sendeth them away, and they  go unto their tents. 
06O 022:007 And to the half of the tribe of Manasseh hath Moses given,  in Bashan, and to its [other] half hath Joshua given with their  brethren beyond the Jordan westward; and also when Joshua hath  sent them away unto their tents, then he doth bless them, 
06O 022:008 and speak unto them, saying, `With great riches turn ye  back unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver,  and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very  much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your  brethren.' 
06O 022:009 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half  of the tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of  Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go  unto the land of Gilead, unto the land of their possession, in  which they have possession, according to the command of  Jehovah, by the hand of Moses; 
06O 022:010 and they come in unto the districts of the Jordan, which  [are] in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, and the  sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of Manasseh, build there  an altar by the Jordan -- a great altar for appearance. 
06O 022:011 And the sons of Israel hear, saying, `Lo, the sons of  Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half of the tribe of  Manasseh, have built the altar over-against the land of Canaan,  on the districts of the Jordan, at the passage of the sons of  Israel.' 
06O 022:012 And the sons of Israel hear, and all the company of the  sons of Israel is assembled at Shiloh, to go up against them to  war; 
06O 022:013 and the sons of Israel send unto the sons of Reuben, and  unto the sons of Gad, and unto the half of the tribe of  Manasseh -- unto the land of Gilead -- Phinehas son of Eleazar  the priest, 
06O 022:014 and ten princes with him, one prince, one prince, for a  house of a father, for all the tribes of Israel, and each of  them a head of a house of their fathers, for the thousands of  Israel. 
06O 022:015 And they come in unto the sons of Reuben, and unto the  sons of Gad, and unto the half of the tribe of Manasseh, unto  the land of Gilead, and speak with them, saying, 
06O 022:016 `Thus said all the company of Jehovah, What [is] this  trespass which ye have trespassed against the God of Israel, to  turn back to-day from after Jehovah, by your building for you  an altar, for your rebelling to-day against Jehovah? 
06O 022:017 Is the iniquity of Peor little to us, from which we have  not been cleansed till this day -- and the plague is in the  company of Jehovah, 
06O 022:018 that ye turn back to-day from after Jehovah? and it hath  been -- ye rebel to-day against Jehovah -- and to-morrow  against all the company of Israel He is wroth. 
06O 022:019 `And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean,  pass over for you unto the land of the possession of Jehovah,  where the tabernacle of Jehovah hath tabernacled, and have  possession in our midst; and against Jehovah rebel not, and  against us rebel not, by your building for you an altar,  besides the altar of Jehovah our God. 
06O 022:020 Did not Achan son of Zerah commit a trespass in the  devoted thing, and on all the company of Israel there was  wrath? and he alone expired not in his iniquity.' 
06O 022:021 And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half  of the tribe of Manasseh, answer and speak with the heads of  the thousands of Israel: 
06O 022:022 `The God of gods -- Jehovah, the God of gods -- Jehovah,  He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and  if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us this  day!) 
06O 022:023 [we are] building for ourselves an altar to turn back from  after Jehovah, and if to cause to go up on it burnt-offering  and present, and if to make on it peace-offerings -- Jehovah  Himself doth require [it]. 
06O 022:024 `And if not, from fear of [this] thing we have done it,  saying, Hereafter your sons do speak to ours sons, saying, What  to you and to Jehovah God of Israel? 
06O 022:025 for a border hath Jehovah put between us and you, O sons  of Reuben, and sons of Gad -- Jordan; ye have no portion in  Jehovah -- and your sons have caused our sons to cease, not to  fear Jehovah. 
06O 022:026 `And we say, Pray let us prepare for ourselves to build  the altar -- not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice -- 
06O 022:027 but a witness it [is] between us and you, and between our  generations after us, to do the service of Jehovah before Him  with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our  peace-offerings, and your sons do not say hereafter to our  sons, Ye have no portion in Jehovah. 
06O 022:028 `And we say, And it hath been, when they say [so] unto us,  and unto our generations hereafter, that we have said, See the  pattern of the altar of Jehovah, which our fathers made -- not  for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice -- but a witness it [is]  between us and you. 
06O 022:029 `Far be it from us to rebel against Jehovah, and to turn  back to-day from after Jehovah, to build an altar for  burnt-offering, for present, and for sacrifice, apart from the  altar of Jehovah our God, which [is] before His tabernacle.' 
06O 022:030 And Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the company,  and the heads of the thousands of Israel, who [are] with him,  hear the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad,  and the sons of Manasseh have spoken, and it is good in their  eyes. 
06O 022:031 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest saith unto the sons  of Reuben, and unto the sons of Gad, and unto the sons of  Manasseh, `To-day we have known that Jehovah [is] in our midst,  because ye have not committed against Jehovah this trespass --  then ye have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of  Jehovah.' 
06O 022:032 And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes,  turn back from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad,  out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, unto the  sons of Israel, and bring them back word; 
06O 022:033 and the thing is good in the eyes of the sons of Israel,  and the sons of Israel bless God, and have not said to go up  against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of  Reuben, and the sons of Gad, are dwelling in. 
06O 022:034 And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaim  concerning the altar, that `it [is] a witness between us that  Jehovah [is] God.' 
06O 023:001 And it cometh to pass, many days after that Jehovah hath  given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that  Joshua is old, entering into days, 
06O 023:002 and Joshua calleth for all Israel, for its elders, and for  its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and  saith unto them, `I have become old; I have entered into days; 
06O 023:003 and ye -- ye have seen all that Jehovah your God hath done  to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God [is]  He who is fighting for you; 
06O 023:004 see, I have caused to fall to you these nations who are  left for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan, (and  all the nations which I cut off), and the great sea, the going  in of the sun. 
06O 023:005 `As to Jehovah your God, He doth thrust them from your  presence, and hath dispossessed them from before you, and ye  have possessed their land, as Jehovah your God hath spoken to  you, 
06O 023:006 and ye have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that  is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn  aside from it right or left, 
06O 023:007 so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left  with you; and of the name of their gods ye do not make mention,  nor do ye swear, nor do ye serve them, nor do ye bow yourselves  to them; 
06O 023:008 but to Jehovah your God ye do cleave, as ye have done till  this day. 
06O 023:009 And Jehovah is dispossessing from before you nations great  and mighty; as for you, none hath stood in your presence till  this day; 
06O 023:010 one man of you doth pursue a thousand, for Jehovah your  God [is] He who is fighting for you, as He hath spoken to you; 
06O 023:011 and ye have been very watchful for yourselves to love  Jehovah your God. 
06O 023:012 `But -- if ye at all turn back and have cleaved to the  remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and  intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you, 
06O 023:013 know certainly that Jehovah your God is not continuing to  dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to  you for a gin, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your  sides, and for thorns in your eyes, till ye perish from off  this good ground which Jehovah your God hath given to you. 
06O 023:014 `And lo, I am going, to-day, in the way of all the earth,  and ye have known -- with all your heart, and with all your  soul -- that there hath not fallen one thing of all the good  things which Jehovah your God hath spoken concerning you; the  whole have come to you; there hath not failed of it one thing. 
06O 023:015 `And it hath been, as there hath come upon you all the  good thing which Jehovah your God hath spoken unto you, so doth  Jehovah bring upon you the whole of the evil thing, till His  destroying you from off this good ground which Jehovah your God  hath given to you; 
06O 023:016 in your transgressing the covenant of Jehovah your God  which He commanded you, and ye have gone and served other gods,  and bowed yourselves to them, then hath the anger of Jehovah  burned against you, and ye have perished hastily from off the  good land which He hath given to you.' 
06O 024:001 And Joshua gathereth all the tribes of Israel to Shechem,  and calleth for the elders of Israel, and for its heads, and for  its judges, and for its authorities, and they station themselves  before God. 
06O 024:002 And Joshua saith unto all the people, `Thus said Jehovah,  God of Israel, Beyond the River have your fathers dwelt of old  -- Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor -- and they  serve other gods; 
06O 024:003 and I take your father Abraham from beyond the River, and  cause him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiply  his seed, and give to him Isaac. 
06O 024:004 And I give to Isaac, Jacob and Esau; and I give to Esau  mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons have gone  down to Egypt. 
06O 024:005 And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have  done in its midst, and afterwards I have brought you out. 
06O 024:006 And I bring out your fathers from Egypt, and ye go into the  sea, and the Egyptians pursue after your fathers, with chariot  and with horsemen, to the Red Sea; 
06O 024:007 and they cry unto Jehovah, and He setteth thick darkness  between you and the Egyptians, and bringeth on them the sea,  and covereth them, and your eyes see that which I have done in  Egypt; and ye dwell in a wilderness many days. 
06O 024:008 `And I bring you in unto the land of the Amorite who is  dwelling beyond the Jordan, and they fight with you, and I give  them into your hand, and ye possess their land, and I destroy  them out of your presence. 
06O 024:009 `And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, riseth and fighteth  against Israel, and sendeth and calleth for Balaam son of Beor,  to revile you, 
06O 024:010 and I have not been willing to hearken to Balaam, and he  doth greatly bless you, and I deliver you out of his hand. 
06O 024:011 `And ye pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho,  and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho -- the  Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite,  and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite -- and I give  them into your hand. 
06O 024:012 And I send before you the hornet, and it casteth them out  from your presence -- two kings of the Amorite -- not by thy  sword, nor by thy bow. 
06O 024:013 `And I give to you a land for which thou hast not  laboured, and cities which ye have not built, and ye dwell in  them; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye have not planted ye  are eating. 
06O 024:014 `And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, in perfection  and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served  beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah; 
06O 024:015 and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah -- choose for  you to-day whom ye do serve; -- whether the gods whom your  fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of  the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house  -- we serve Jehovah.' 
06O 024:016 And the people answer and say, `Far be it from us to  forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods; 
06O 024:017 for Jehovah our God [is] He who is bringing us and our  fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of  servants, and who hath done before our eyes these great signs,  and doth keep us in all the way in which we have gone, and  among all the peoples through whose midst we passed; 
06O 024:018 and Jehovah casteth out the whole of the peoples, even the  Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also do  serve Jehovah, for He [is] our God.' 
06O 024:019 And Joshua saith unto the people, `Ye are not able to  serve Jehovah, for a God most holy He [is]; a zealous God He  [is]; He doth not bear with your transgression and with your  sins. 
06O 024:020 When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a  stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and  consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.' 
06O 024:021 And the people saith unto Joshua, `No, but Jehovah we do  serve.' 
06O 024:022 And Joshua saith unto the people, `Witnesses ye are  against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to  serve Him (and they say, `Witnesses!') 
06O 024:023 and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are]  in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of  Israel.' 
06O 024:024 And the people say unto Joshua, `Jehovah our God we serve,  and to His voice we hearken.' 
06O 024:025 And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day,  and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem. 
06O 024:026 And Joshua writeth these words in the Book of the Law of  God, and taketh a great stone, and raiseth it up there under  the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of Jehovah. 
06O 024:027 And Joshua saith unto all the people, `Lo, this stone is  against us for a witness, for it hath heard all the sayings of  Jehovah which He hath spoken with us, and it hath been against  you for a witness, lest ye lie against your God.' 
06O 024:028 And Joshua sendeth the people away, each to his  inheritance. 
06O 024:029 And it cometh to pass, after these things, that Joshua son  of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten  years, 
06O 024:030 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in  Timnath-Serah, which [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, on  the north of the hill of Gaash. 
06O 024:031 And Israel serveth Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all  the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, and who  knew all the work of Jehovah which He did to Israel. 
06O 024:032 And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought  up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the portion of the  field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor father of  Shechem, with a hundred kesitah; and they are to the sons of  Joseph for an inheritance. 
06O 024:033 And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they bury him in the  hill of Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the  hill-country of Ephraim.  
07O 001:001 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Joshua, that the  sons of Israel ask at Jehovah, saying, `Who doth go up for us  unto the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?' 
07O 001:002 And Jehovah saith, `Judah doth go up; lo, I have given the  land into his hand.' 
07O 001:003 And Judah saith to Simeon his brother, `Go up with me into  my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite -- and I have gone,  even I, with thee into thy lot;' and Simeon goeth with him. 
07O 001:004 And Judah goeth up, and Jehovah giveth the Canaanite and the  Perizzite into their hand, and they smite them in Bezek -- ten  thousand men; 
07O 001:005 and they find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him,  and smite the Canaanite and the Perizzite. 
07O 001:006 And Adoni-Bezek fleeth, and they pursue after him, and seize  him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes, 
07O 001:007 and Adoni-Bezek saith, `Seventy kings -- their thumbs and  their great toes cut off -- have been gathering under my table;  as I have done so hath God repaid to me;' and they bring him in  to Jerusalem, and he dieth there. 
07O 001:008 And the sons of Judah fight against Jerusalem, and capture  it, and smite it by the mouth of the sword, and the city they  have sent into fire; 
07O 001:009 and afterwards have the sons of Judah gone down to fight  against the Canaanite, inhabiting the hill-country, and the  south, and the low country; 
07O 001:010 and Judah goeth unto the Canaanite who is dwelling in  Hebron (and the name of Hebron formerly [is] Kirjath-Arba), and  they smite Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai. 
07O 001:011 And he goeth thence unto the inhabitants of Debir (and the  name of Debir formerly [is] Kirjath-Sepher), 
07O 001:012 and Caleb saith, `He who smiteth Kirjath-Sepher -- and hath  captured it -- then I have given to him Achsah my daughter for a  wife.' 
07O 001:013 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, doth  capture it, and he giveth to him Achsah his daughter for a  wife. 
07O 001:014 And it cometh to pass in her coming in, that she persuadeth  him to ask from her father the field, and she lighteth from off  the ass, and Caleb saith to her, `What -- to thee?' 
07O 001:015 And she saith to him, `Give to me a blessing; when the  south land thou hast given me -- then thou hast given to me  springs of water; and Caleb giveth to her the upper springs and  the lower springs. 
07O 001:016 And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have  gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah [to]  the wilderness of Judah, which [is] in the south of Arad, and  they go and dwell with the people. 
07O 001:017 And Judah goeth with Simeon his brother, and they smite the  Canaanite inhabiting Zephath, and devote it; and [one] calleth  the name of the city Hormah. 
07O 001:018 And Judah captureth Gaza and its border, and Askelon and  its border, and Ekron and its border; 
07O 001:019 and Jehovah is with Judah, and he occupieth the  hill-country, but not to dispossess the inhabitants of the  valley, for they have chariots of iron. 
07O 001:020 And they give to Caleb Hebron, as Moses hath spoken, and he  dispossesseth thence the three sons of Anak. 
07O 001:021 And the Jebusite, inhabiting Jerusalem, the sons of  Benjamin have not dispossessed; and the Jebusite dwelleth with  the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, till this day. 
07O 001:022 And the house of Joseph go up -- even they -- to Beth-El, and  Jehovah [is] with them; 
07O 001:023 and the house of Joseph cause [men] to spy about Beth-El  (and the name of the city formerly is Luz), 
07O 001:024 and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and  say to him, `Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance of the city,  and we have done with thee kindness.' 
07O 001:025 And he sheweth them the entrance of the city, and they  smite the city by the mouth of the sword, and the man and all  his family they have sent away; 
07O 001:026 and the man goeth to the land of the Hittites, and buildeth  a city, and calleth its name Luz -- it [is] its name unto this  day. 
07O 001:027 And Manasseh hath not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns,  and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its  towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the  inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is  desirous to dwell in that land; 
07O 001:028 and it cometh to pass, when Israel hath been strong, that  he setteth the Canaanite to tribute, and hath not utterly  dispossessed it. 
07O 001:029 And Ephraim hath not dispossessed the Canaanite who is  dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelleth in its midst, in  Gezer. 
07O 001:030 Zebulun hath not dispossessed the inhabitants of Kitron,  and the inhabitants of Nahalol, and the Canaanite dwelleth in  its midst, and they become tributary. 
07O 001:031 Asher hath not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and  the inhabitants of Zidon, and Ahlab, and Achzib, and Helbah,  and Aphik, and Rehob; 
07O 001:032 and the Asherite dwelleth in the midst of the Canaanite,  the inhabitants of the land, for it hath not dispossessed them. 
07O 001:033 Naphtali hath not dispossessed the inhabitants of  Beth-Shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, and he  dwelleth in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the  land; and the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath  have become tributary to them. 
07O 001:034 And the Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for  they have not suffered them to go down to the valley; 
07O 001:035 and the Amorite is desirous to dwell in mount Heres, in  Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and the hand of the house of Joseph  is heavy, and they become tributary; 
07O 001:036 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of  Akrabbim, from the rock and upward. 
07O 002:001 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim, 
07O 002:002 and saith, `I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring  you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and  say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye -- ye  make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land -- their  altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My  voice -- what [is] this ye have done? 
07O 002:003 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your  presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their  gods are to you for a snare.' 
07O 002:004 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah  speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the  people lift up their voice and weep, 
07O 002:005 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice  there to Jehovah. 
07O 002:006 And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel  go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land; 
07O 002:007 and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all  the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw  all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel. 
07O 002:008 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a  hundred and ten years, 
07O 002:009 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in  Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of  mount Gaash; 
07O 002:010 and also all that generation have been gathered unto their  fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not  known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel. 
07O 002:011 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of  Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, 
07O 002:012 and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth  them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of  the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow  themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah, 
07O 002:013 yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to  Ashtaroth. 
07O 002:014 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He  giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and  He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and  they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies; 
07O 002:015 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of  Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath  spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are  distressed -- greatly. 
07O 002:016 And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the  hand of their spoilers; 
07O 002:017 and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but  have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to  them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in]  which their fathers walked to obey the commands of  Jehovah -- they have not done so. 
07O 002:018 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges -- then was Jehovah  with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies  all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of  their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of  those thrusting them away. 
07O 002:019 And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge -- they  turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go  after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them;  they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff  way. 
07O 002:020 And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He  saith, `Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant  which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My  voice -- 
07O 002:021 I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of  the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth, 
07O 002:022 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping  the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or  not.' 
07O 002:023 And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess  them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua. 
07O 003:001 And these [are] the nations which Jehovah left, to try  Israel by them, all who have not known all the wars of Canaan; 
07O 003:002 (only for the sake of the generations of the sons of  Israel's knowing, to teach them war, only those who formerly  have not known them) -- 
07O 003:003 five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and  the Zidonian, and the Hivite inhabiting mount Lebanon, from  mount Baal-Hermon unto the entering in of Hamath; 
07O 003:004 and they are to prove Israel by them, to know whether they  obey the commands of Jehovah that He commanded their fathers by  the hand of Moses. 
07O 003:005 And the sons of Israel have dwelt in the midst of the  Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and  the Hivite, and the Jebusite, 
07O 003:006 and take their daughters to them for wives, and their  daughters have given to their sons, and they serve their gods; 
07O 003:007 and the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of  Jehovah, and forget Jehovah their God, and serve the Baalim and  the shrines. 
07O 003:008 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He  selleth them into the hand of Chushan-Rishathaim king of  Aram-Naharaim, and the sons of Israel serve Chushan-Rishathaim  eight years; 
07O 003:009 and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah raiseth  a saviour to the sons of Israel, and he saveth them -- Othniel  son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother; 
07O 003:010 and the Spirit of Jehovah is upon him, and he judgeth  Israel, and goeth out to battle, and Jehovah giveth unto his  hand Chushan-Rishathaim king of Aram, and strong is his hand  against Chushan-Rishathaim; 
07O 003:011 and the land resteth forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz  dieth, 
07O 003:012 and the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes  of Jehovah; and Jehovah strengtheneth Eglon king of Moab  against Israel, because that they have done the evil thing in  the eyes of Jehovah; 
07O 003:013 and he gathereth unto him the Bene-Ammon and Amalek, and  goeth and smiteth Israel, and they possess the city of palms; 
07O 003:014 and the sons of Israel serve Eglon king of Moab eighteen  years. 
07O 003:015 And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, and Jehovah  raiseth to them a saviour, Ehud son of Gera, a Benjamite (a  man -- shut of his right hand), and the sons of Israel send by  his hand a present to Eglon king of Moab; 
07O 003:016 and Ehud maketh for himself a sword, and it hath two mouths  (a cubit [is] its length), and he girdeth it under his long  robe on his right thigh; 
07O 003:017 and he bringeth near the present to Eglon king of Moab, and  Eglon [is] a very fat man. 
07O 003:018 And it cometh to pass, when he hath finished to bring near  the present, that he sendeth away the people bearing the  present, 
07O 003:019 and he himself hath turned back from the graven images  which [are] at Gilgal, and saith, `A secret word I have unto  thee, O king;' and he saith, `Hush!' and go out from him do all  those standing by him. 
07O 003:020 And Ehud hath come unto him, and he is sitting in the upper  chamber of the wall which he hath for himself, and Ehud saith,  `A word of God I have unto thee;' and he riseth from off the  throne; 
07O 003:021 and Ehud putteth forth his left hand, and taketh the sword  from off his right thigh, and striketh it into his belly; 
07O 003:022 and the haft also goeth in after the blade, and the fat  shutteth on the blade, that he hath not drawn the sword out of  his belly, and it goeth out at the fundament. 
07O 003:023 And Ehud goeth out at the porch, and shutteth the doors of  the upper chamber upon him, and hath bolted [it]; 
07O 003:024 and he hath gone out, and his servants have come in, and  look, and lo, the doors of the upper chamber are bolted, and  they say, `He is only covering his feet in the inner chamber of  the wall.' 
07O 003:025 And they stay till confounded, and lo, he is not opening  the doors of the upper chamber, and they take the key, and  open, and lo, their lord is fallen to the earth -- dead. 
07O 003:026 And Ehud escaped during their tarrying, and hath passed by  the images, and is escaped to Seirath. 
07O 003:027 And it cometh to pass, in his coming in, that he bloweth  with a trumpet in the hill-country of Ephraim, and go down with  him do the sons of Israel from the hill-country, and he before  them; 
07O 003:028 and he saith unto them, `Pursue after me, for Jehovah hath  given your enemies, the Moabites, into your hand;' and they go  down after him, and capture the passages of the Jordan towards  Moab, and have not permitted a man to pass over. 
07O 003:029 And they smite Moab at that time, about ten thousand men,  all robust, and every one a man of valour, and not a man hath  escaped, 
07O 003:030 and Moab is humbled in that day under the hand of Israel;  and the land resteth eighty years. 
07O 003:031 And after him hath been Shamgar son of Anath, and he  smiteth the Philistines -- six hundred men -- with an ox-goad, and  he saveth -- he also -- Israel. 
07O 004:001 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes  of Jehovah when Ehud is dead, 
07O 004:002 and Jehovah selleth them into the hand of Jabin king of  Canaan, who hath reigned in Hazor, and the head of his host  [is] Sisera, and he is dwelling in Harosheth of the Goyim; 
07O 004:003 and the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, for he hath nine  hundred chariots of iron, and he hath oppressed the sons of  Israel mightily twenty years. 
07O 004:004 And Deborah, a woman inspired, wife of Lapidoth, she is  judging Israel at that time, 
07O 004:005 and she is dwelling under the palm-tree of Deborah, between  Ramah and Beth-El, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the sons  of Israel go up unto her for judgment. 
07O 004:006 And she sendeth and calleth for Barak son of Abinoam, out of  Kedesh-Naphtali, and saith unto him, `Hath not Jehovah, God of  Israel, commanded? go, and thou hast drawn towards mount Tabor,  and hast taken with thee ten thousand men, out of the sons of  Naphtali, and out of the sons of Zebulun, 
07O 004:007 and I have drawn unto thee, unto the brook Kishon, Sisera,  head of the host of Jabin, and his chariot, and his multitude,  and have given him into thy hand.' 
07O 004:008 And Barak saith unto her, `If thou dost go with me, then I  have gone; and if thou dost not go with me, I do not go;' 
07O 004:009 and she saith, `I do certainly go with thee; only, surely  thy glory is not on the way which thou art going, for into the  hand of a woman doth Jehovah sell Sisera;' and Deborah riseth  and goeth with Barak to Kedesh. 
07O 004:010 And Barak calleth Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he  goeth up -- at his feet [are] ten thousand men -- and Deborah goeth  up with him. 
07O 004:011 And Heber the Kenite hath been separated from the Kenite,  from the sons of Hobab father-in-law of Moses, and he  stretcheth out his tent unto the oak in Zaanaim, which [is] by  Kedesh. 
07O 004:012 And they declare to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam hath  gone up to mount Tabor, 
07O 004:013 and Sisera calleth all his chariots, nine hundred chariots  of iron, and all the people who [are] with him, from Harosheth  of the Goyim, unto the brook Kishon. 
07O 004:014 And Deborah saith unto Barak, `Rise, for this [is] the day  in which Jehovah hath given Sisera into thy hand; hath not  Jehovah gone out before thee?' And Barak goeth down from mount  Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. 
07O 004:015 And Jehovah destroyeth Sisera, and all the chariots, and  all the camp, by the mouth of the sword, before Barak, and  Sisera cometh down from off the chariot, and fleeth on his  feet. 
07O 004:016 And Barak hath pursued after the chariots and after the  camp, unto Harosheth of the Goyim, and all the camp of Sisera  falleth by the mouth of the sword -- there hath not been left  even one. 
07O 004:017 And Sisera hath fled on his feet unto the tent of Jael wife  of Heber the Kenite, for peace [is] between Jabin king of Hazor  and the house of Heber the Kenite; 
07O 004:018 and Jael goeth out to meet Sisera, and saith unto him,  `Turn aside, my lord, turn aside unto me, fear not;' and he  turneth aside unto her, into the tent, and she covereth him  with a coverlet. 
07O 004:019 And he saith unto her, `Give me to drink, I pray thee, a  little water, for I am thirsty;' and she openeth the bottle of  milk, and giveth him to drink, and covereth him. 
07O 004:020 And he saith unto her, `Stand at the opening of the tent,  and it hath been, if any doth come in, and hath asked thee, and  said, Is there a man here? that thou hast said, There is not.' 
07O 004:021 And Jael wife of Heber taketh the pin of the tent, and  taketh the hammer in her hand, and goeth unto him gently, and  striketh the pin into his temples, and it fasteneth in the  earth -- and he hath been fast asleep, and is weary -- and he  dieth. 
07O 004:022 And lo, Barak is pursuing Sisera, and Jael cometh out to  meet him, and saith to him, `Come, and I shew thee the man whom  thou art seeking;' and he cometh in unto her, and lo, Sisera is  fallen -- dead, and the pin in his temples. 
07O 004:023 And God humbleth on that day Jabin king of Canaan before  the sons of Israel, 
07O 004:024 and the hand of the sons of Israel goeth, going on and  becoming hard on Jabin king of Canaan, till that they have cut  off Jabin king of Canaan. 
07O 005:001 And Deborah singeth -- also Barak son of Abinoam -- on that day,  saying: -- 
07O 005:002 `For freeing freemen in Israel, For a people willingly  offering themselves Bless ye Jehovah. 
07O 005:003 Hear, ye kings; give ear, ye princes, I, to Jehovah, I -- I do  sing, I sing praise to Jehovah, God of Israel. 
07O 005:004 Jehovah, in Thy going forth out of Seir, In Thy stepping out  of the field of Edom, Earth trembled, also the heavens dropped,  Also thick clouds dropped water. 
07O 005:005 Hills flowed from the face of Jehovah, This one -- Sinai --  From the face of Jehovah, God of Israel. 
07O 005:006 In the days of Shamgar son of Anath -- In the days of Jael --  The ways have ceased, And those going in the paths go [in]  crooked ways. 
07O 005:007 Villages ceased in Israel -- they ceased, Till that I  arose -- Deborah, That I arose, a mother in Israel. 
07O 005:008 He chooseth new gods, Then war [is] at the gates! A shield  is not seen -- and a spear Among forty thousand in Israel. 
07O 005:009 My heart [is] to the lawgivers of Israel, Who are offering  themselves willingly among the people, Bless ye Jehovah! 
07O 005:010 Riders on white asses -- Sitters on a long robe -- And  walkers by the way -- meditate! 
07O 005:011 By the voice of shouters Between the places of drawing  water, There they give out righteous acts of Jehovah, Righteous  acts of His villages in Israel, Then ruled in the gates have  the people of Jehovah. 
07O 005:012 Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song; Rise,  Barak, and take captive thy captivity, Son of Abinoam. 
07O 005:013 Then him who is left of the honourable ones He caused to  rule the people of Jehovah, He caused me to rule among the  mighty. 
07O 005:014 Out of Ephraim their root [is] against Amalek. After thee,  Benjamin, among thy peoples. Out of Machir came down lawgivers,  And out of Zebulun those drawing with the reed of a writer. 
07O 005:015 And princes in Issachar [are] with Deborah, Yea, Issachar  [is] right with Barak, Into the valley he was sent on his feet.  In the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the decrees of heart! 
07O 005:016 Why hast thou abode between the boundaries, To hear lowings  of herds? For the divisions of Reuben, Great [are] the searchings  of heart! 
07O 005:017 Gilead beyond the Jordan did tabernacle, And Dan -- why doth  he sojourn [in] ships? Asher hath abode at the haven of the  seas, And by his creeks doth tabernacle. 
07O 005:018 Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death,  Naphtali also -- on high places of the field. 
07O 005:019 Kings came -- they fought; Then fought kings of Canaan, In  Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo; Gain of money they took not! 
07O 005:020 From the heavens they fought: The stars from their highways  fought with Sisera. 
07O 005:021 The brook Kishon swept them away, The brook most  ancient -- the brook Kishon. Thou dost tread down strength, O my  soul! 
07O 005:022 Then broken were the horse-heels, By pransings -- pransings  of its mighty ones. 
07O 005:023 Curse Meroz -- said a messenger of Jehovah, Cursing, curse ye  its inhabitants, For they came not to the help of Jehovah, To  the help of Jehovah among the mighty! 
07O 005:024 Blessed above women is Jael, Wife of Heber the Kenite,  Above women in the tent she is blessed. 
07O 005:025 Water he asked -- milk she gave; In a lordly dish she brought  near butter. 
07O 005:026 Her hand to the pin she sendeth forth, And her right hand  to the labourers' hammer, And she hammered Sisera -- she smote  his head, Yea, she smote, and it passed through his temple. 
07O 005:027 Between her feet he bowed -- He fell, he lay down; Between  her feet he bowed, he fell; Where he bowed, there he  fell -- destroyed. 
07O 005:028 Through the window she hath looked out -- Yea, she crieth  out -- the mother of Sisera, Through the lattice: Wherefore is  his chariot delaying to come? Wherefore tarried have the steps  of his chariot? 
07O 005:029 The wise ones, her princesses, answer her, Yea, she  returneth her sayings to herself: 
07O 005:030 Do they not find? -- they apportion spoil, A female -- two  females -- for every head, Spoil of finger-work for Sisera, Spoil  of embroidered finger-work, Finger-work -- a pair of embroidered  things, For the necks of the spoil! 
07O 005:031 So do all Thine enemies perish, O Jehovah, And those loving  Him [are] As the going out of the sun in its might!' and the  land resteth forty years. 
07O 006:001 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of  Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Midian seven  years, 
07O 006:002 and the hand of Midian is strong against Israel, from the  presence of Midian have the sons of Israel made for themselves  the flowings which [are] in the mountains, and the caves, and  the strongholds. 
07O 006:003 And it hath been, if Israel hath sowed, that Midian hath  come up, and Amalek, and the sons of the east, yea, they have  come up against him, 
07O 006:004 and encamp against them, and destroy the increase of the  land till thine entering Gaza; and they leave no sustenance in  Israel, either sheep, or ox, or ass; 
07O 006:005 for they and their cattle come up, with their tents; they  come in as the fulness of the locust for multitude, and of them  and of their cattle there is no number, and they come into the  land to destroy it. 
07O 006:006 And Israel is very weak from the presence of Midian, and the  sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah. 
07O 006:007 And it cometh to pass when the sons of Israel have cried  unto Jehovah, concerning Midian, 
07O 006:008 that Jehovah sendeth a man, a prophet, unto the sons of  Israel, and he saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of  Israel, I -- I have brought you up out of Egypt, and I bring you  out from a house of servants, 
07O 006:009 and I deliver you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out  of the hand of all your oppressors, and I cast them out from  your presence, and I give to you their land, 
07O 006:010 and I say to you, I [am] Jehovah your God, ye do not fear  the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling: -- and ye  have not hearkened to My voice.' 
07O 006:011 And the messenger of Jehovah cometh and sitteth under the  oak which [is] in Ophrah, which [is] to Joash the Abi-Ezrite,  and Gideon his son is beating out wheat in the wine-press, to  remove [it] from the presence of the Midianites; 
07O 006:012 and the messenger of Jehovah appeareth unto him, and saith  unto him, `Jehovah [is] with thee, O mighty one of valour.' 
07O 006:013 And Gideon saith unto him, `O, my lord -- and Jehovah is with  us! -- and why hath all this found us? and where [are] all His  wonders which our fathers recounted to us, saying, Hath not  Jehovah brought us up out of Egypt? and now Jehovah hath left  us, and doth give us into the hand of Midian.' 
07O 006:014 And Jehovah turneth unto him and saith, `Go in this -- thy  power; and thou hast saved Israel out of the hand of  Midian -- have not I sent thee.' 
07O 006:015 And he saith unto him, `O, my lord, wherewith do I save  Israel? lo, my chief [is] weak in Manasseh, and I the least in  the house of my father.' 
07O 006:016 And Jehovah saith unto him, `Because I am with thee -- thou  hast smitten the Midianites as one man.' 
07O 006:017 And he saith unto Him, `If, I pray Thee, I have found grace  in Thine eyes, then Thou hast done for me a sign that Thou art  speaking with me. 
07O 006:018 Move not, I pray Thee, from this, till my coming in unto  Thee, and I have brought out my present, and put it before  Thee;' and he saith, `I -- I do abide till thy return.' 
07O 006:019 And Gideon hath gone in, and prepareth a kid of the goats,  and of an ephah of flour unleavened things; the flesh he hath  put in a basket, and the broth he hath put in a pot, and he  bringeth out unto Him, unto the place of the oak, and bringeth  [it] nigh. 
07O 006:020 And the messenger of God saith unto him, `Take the flesh  and the unleavened things, and place on this rock -- and the  broth pour out;' and he doth so. 
07O 006:021 And the messenger of Jehovah putteth forth the end of the  staff which [is] in His hand, and cometh against the flesh, and  against the unleavened things, and the fire goeth up out of the  rock and consumeth the flesh and the unleavened things -- and the  messenger of Jehovah hath gone from his eyes. 
07O 006:022 And Gideon seeth that He [is] a messenger of Jehovah, and  Gideon saith, `Alas, Lord Jehovah! because that I have seen a  messenger of Jehovah face to face!' 
07O 006:023 And Jehovah saith to him, `Peace to thee; fear not; thou  dost not die.' 
07O 006:024 And Gideon buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and calleth  it Jehovah-Shalom, unto this day it [is] yet in Ophrah of the  Abi-Ezrites. 
07O 006:025 And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith to  him, `Take the young ox which [is] to thy father, and the  second bullock of seven years, and thou hast thrown down the  altar of Baal which [is] to thy father, and the shrine which  [is] by it thou dost cut down, 
07O 006:026 and thou hast built an altar to Jehovah thy God on the top  of this stronghold, by the arrangement, and hast taken the  second bullock, and caused to ascend a burnt-offering with the  wood of the shrine which thou cuttest down.' 
07O 006:027 And Gideon taketh ten men of his servants, and doth as  Jehovah hath spoken unto him, and it cometh to pass, because he  hath been afraid of the house of his father, and the men of the  city, to do [it] by day, that he doth [it] by night. 
07O 006:028 And the men of the city rise early in the morning, and lo,  broken down hath been the altar of Baal, and the shrine which  is by it hath been cut down, and the second bullock hath been  offered on the altar which is built. 
07O 006:029 And they say one to another, `Who hath done this thing?'  and they inquire and seek, and they say, `Gideon son of Joash  hath done this thing.' 
07O 006:030 And the men of the city say unto Joash, `Bring out thy son,  and he dieth, because he hath broken down the altar of Baal,  and because he hath cut down the shrine which [is] by it.' 
07O 006:031 And Joash saith to all who have stood against him, `Ye, do  ye plead for Baal? ye -- do ye save him? he who pleadeth for him  is put to death during the morning; if he [is] a god he himself  doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his altar.' 
07O 006:032 And he calleth him, on that day, Jerubbaal, saying, `The  Baal doth plead against him, because he hath broken down his  altar.' 
07O 006:033 And all Midian and Amalek and the sons of the east have  been gathered together, and pass over, and encamp in the valley  of Jezreel, 
07O 006:034 and the Spirit of Jehovah hath clothed Gideon, and he  bloweth with a trumpet, and Abi-Ezer is called after him; 
07O 006:035 and messengers he hath sent into all Manasseh, and it also  is called after him; and messengers he hath sent into Asher,  and into Zebulun, and into Naphtali, and they come up to meet  them. 
07O 006:036 And Gideon saith unto God, `If Thou art Saviour of Israel  by my hand, as Thou hast spoken, 
07O 006:037 lo, I am placing the fleece of wool in the threshing-floor:  if dew is on the fleece alone, and on all the earth  drought -- then I have known that Thou dost save Israel by my  hand, as Thou hast spoken;' 
07O 006:038 and it is so, and he riseth early on the morrow, and  presseth the fleece, and wringeth dew out of the fleece -- the  fulness of the bowl, of water. 
07O 006:039 And Gideon saith unto God, `Let not Thine anger burn  against me, and I speak only this time; let me try, I pray  Thee, only this time with the fleece -- let there be, I pray  Thee, drought on the fleece alone, and on all the earth let  there be dew.' 
07O 006:040 And God doth so on that night, and there is drought on the  fleece alone, and on all the earth there hath been dew. 
07O 007:001 And Jerubbaal (he [is] Gideon) riseth early, and all the  people who [are] with him, and they encamp by the well of  Harod, and the camp of Midian hath been on the south of him, on  the height of Moreh, in the valley. 
07O 007:002 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, `Too many [are] the people  who [are] with thee for My giving Midian into their hand, lest  Israel beautify itself against Me, saying, My hand hath given  salvation to me; 
07O 007:003 and now, call, I pray thee, in the ears of the people,  saying, Whoso [is] afraid and trembling, let him turn back and  go early from mount Gilead;' and there turn back of the people  twenty and two thousand, and ten thousand have been left. 
07O 007:004 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, `Yet [are] the people too  many; bring them down unto the water, and I refine it for thee  there; and it hath been, he of whom I say unto thee, This doth  go with thee -- he doth go with thee; and any of whom I say  unto thee, This doth not go with thee -- he doth not go.' 
07O 007:005 And he bringeth down the people unto the water, and Jehovah  saith unto Gideon, `Every one who lappeth with his tongue of  the water as the dog lappeth -- thou dost set him apart; also  every one who boweth on his knees to drink.' 
07O 007:006 And the number of those lapping with their hand unto their  mouth is three hundred men, and all the rest of the people have  bowed down on their knees to drink water. 
07O 007:007 And Jehovah saith unto Gideon, `By the three hundred men who  are lapping I save you, and have given Midian into thy hand,  and all the people go, each to his place.' 
07O 007:008 And the people take the provision in their hand, and their  trumpets, and every man of Israel he hath sent away, each to  his tents; and on the three hundred men he hath kept hold, and  the camp of Midian hath been by him at the lower part of the  valley. 
07O 007:009 And it cometh to pass, on that night, that Jehovah saith  unto him, `Rise, go down into the camp, for I have given it  into thy hand; 
07O 007:010 and if thou art afraid to go down -- go down, thou and Phurah  thy young man, unto the camp, 
07O 007:011 and thou hast heard what they speak, and afterwards are thy  hands strengthened, and thou hast gone down against the camp.'  And he goeth down, he and Phurah his young man, unto the  extremity of the fifties who [are] in the camp; 
07O 007:012 and Midian and Amalek, and all the sons of the east are  lying in the valley, as the locust for multitude, and of their  camels there is no number, as sand which [is] on the sea-shore  for multitude. 
07O 007:013 And Gideon cometh in, and lo, a man is recounting to his  companion a dream, and saith, `Lo, a dream I have dreamed, and  lo, a cake of barley-bread is turning itself over into the camp  of Midian, and it cometh in unto the tent, and smiteth it, and  it falleth, and turneth it upwards, and the tent hath fallen.' 
07O 007:014 And his companion answereth and saith, `This is nothing  save the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel; God  hath given into his hand Midian and all the camp.' 
07O 007:015 And it cometh to pass, when Gideon heareth the narration of  the dream and its interpretation, that he boweth himself, and  turneth back unto the camp of Israel, and saith, `Rise ye, for  Jehovah hath given into your hand the camp of Midian.' 
07O 007:016 And he divideth the three hundred men [into] three  detachments, and putteth trumpets into the hand of all of them,  and empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers. 
07O 007:017 And he saith unto them, `Look at me, and thus do; and lo, I  am coming into the extremity of the camp -- and it hath been -- as  I do so ye do; 
07O 007:018 and I have blown with a trumpet -- I and all who [are] with  me, and ye have blown with trumpets, even ye, round about all  the camp, and have said, For Jehovah and for Gideon.' 
07O 007:019 And Gideon cometh -- and the hundred men who [are] with  him -- into the extremity of the camp, [at] the beginning of the  middle watch (it hath only just confirmed the watchmen), and  they blow with trumpets -- dashing in pieces also the pitchers  which [are] in their hand; 
07O 007:020 and the three detachments blow with trumpets, and break the  pitchers, and keep hold with their left hand on the lamps, and  with their right hand on the trumpets to blow, and they cry,  `The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon.' 
07O 007:021 And they stand each in his place, round about the camp, and  all the camp runneth, and they shout, and flee; 
07O 007:022 and the three hundred blow the trumpets, and Jehovah  setteth the sword of each against his companion, even through  all the camp; and the camp fleeth unto Beth-Shittah, at  Zererath, unto the border of Abel-Meholah, by Tabbath. 
07O 007:023 And the men of Israel are called from Naphtali, and from  Asher, and from all Manasseh, and pursue after Midian. 
07O 007:024 And messengers hath sent Gideon into all the hill-country  of Ephraim, saying, `Come down to meet Midian, and capture  before them the waters unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan;' and  every man of Ephraim is called, and they capture the waters  unto Beth-Barah, and the Jordan, 
07O 007:025 and they capture two of the heads of Midian, Oreb, and  Zeeb, and slay Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they have  slain at the wine-vat of Zeeb, and they pursue unto Midian; and  the heads of Oreb and Zeeb they have brought in unto Gideon  beyond the Jordan. 
07O 008:001 And the men of Ephraim say unto him, `What [is] this thing  thou hast done to us -- not to call for us when thou didst go to  fight with Midian?' and they strive with him severely; 
07O 008:002 and he saith unto them, `What have I done now like you? are  not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the harvest of  Abi-Ezer? 
07O 008:003 Into your hand hath God given the heads of Midian, Oreb and  Zeeb; and what have I been able to do like you?' Then their  temper desisted from off him in his speaking this thing. 
07O 008:004 And Gideon cometh in unto the Jordan, passing over, he and  the three hundred men who [are] with him -- wearied, and  pursuing, 
07O 008:005 and he saith to the men of Succoth, `Give, I pray you, cakes  of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they [are]  wearied, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna kings of  Midian.' 
07O 008:006 And the heads of Succoth say, `Is the hand of Zebah and  Zalmunna now in thy hand, that we give to thy host bread?' 
07O 008:007 And Gideon saith, `Therefore -- in Jehovah's giving Zebah and  Zalmunna into my hand -- I have threshed your flesh with the  thorns of the wilderness, and with the threshing instruments.' 
07O 008:008 And he goeth up thence [to] Penuel, and speaketh unto them  thus; and the men of Penuel answer him as the men of Succoth  answered. 
07O 008:009 And he speaketh also to the men of Penuel, saying, `In my  turning back in peace, I break down this tower.' 
07O 008:010 And Zebah and Zalmunna [are] in Karkor, and their camps  with them, about fifteen thousand, all who are left of all the  camp of the sons of the east; and those falling [are] a hundred  and twenty thousand men, drawing sword. 
07O 008:011 And Gideon goeth up the way of those who tabernacle in  tents, on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smiteth the camp,  and the camp was confident; 
07O 008:012 and Zebab and Zalmunna flee, and he pursueth after them,  and captureth the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and  all the camp he hath caused to tremble. 
07O 008:013 And Gideon son of Joash turneth back from the battle, at  the going up of the sun, 
07O 008:014 and captureth a young man of the men of Succoth, and asketh  him, and he describeth unto him the heads of Succoth, and its  elders -- seventy and seven men. 
07O 008:015 And he cometh in unto the men of Succoth, and saith, `Lo  Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye reproached me, saying, Is the  hand of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thy hand that we give to thy  men who [are] wearied bread?' 
07O 008:016 And he taketh the elders of the city, and the thorns of the  wilderness, and the threshing instruments, and teacheth by them  the men of Succoth, 
07O 008:017 and the tower of Penuel he hath broken down, and slayeth  the men of the city. 
07O 008:018 And he saith unto Zebah and unto Zalmunna, `How -- the men  whom ye slew in Tabor?' and they say, `As thou -- so they, one -- as  the form of the king's sons.' 
07O 008:019 And he saith, `My brethren -- sons of my mother -- they;  Jehovah liveth, if ye had kept them alive -- I had not slain  you.' 
07O 008:020 And he saith to Jether his first-born, `Rise, slay them;'  and the young man hath not drawn his sword, for he hath been  afraid, for he [is] yet a youth. 
07O 008:021 And Zebah saith -- also Zalmunna -- `Rise thou, and fall upon  us; for as the man -- his might;' and Gideon riseth, and slayeth  Zebah and Zalmunna, and taketh their round ornaments which [are]  on the necks of their camels. 
07O 008:022 And the men of Israel say unto Gideon, `Rule over us, both  thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, for thou hast saved us  from the hand of Midian.' 
07O 008:023 And Gideon saith unto them, `I do not rule over you, nor  doth my son rule over you; Jehovah doth rule over you.' 
07O 008:024 And Gideon saith unto them, `Let me ask of you a petition,  and give ye to me each the ring of his prey, for they have  rings of gold, for they [are] Ishmaelites.' 
07O 008:025 And they say, `We certainly give;' and they spread out the  garment, and cast thither each the ring of his prey; 
07O 008:026 and the weight of the rings of gold which he asked is a  thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, apart from the  round ornaments, and the drops, and the purple garments, which  [are] on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains which  [are] on the necks of their camels, 
07O 008:027 and Gideon maketh it into an ephod, and setteth it up in  his city, in Ophrah, and all Israel go a-whoring after it  there, and it is to Gideon and to his house for a snare. 
07O 008:028 And Midian is humbled before the sons of Israel, and have  not added to lift up their head; and the land resteth forty  years in the days of Gideon. 
07O 008:029 And Jerubbaal son of Joash goeth and dwelleth in his own  house, 
07O 008:030 and to Gideon there have been seventy sons, coming out of  his loin, for he had many wives; 
07O 008:031 and his concubine, who [is] in Shechem, hath born to  him -- even she -- a son, and he appointeth his name Abimelech. 
07O 008:032 And Gideon son of Joash dieth, in a good old age, and is  buried in the burying-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of  the Abi-Ezrite. 
07O 008:033 And it cometh to pass, when Gideon [is] dead, that the sons  of Israel turn back and go a-whoring after the Baalim, and set  over them Baal-Berith for a god; 
07O 008:034 and the sons of Israel have not remembered Jehovah their  God, who is delivering them out of the hand of all their  enemies round about, 
07O 008:035 neither have they done kindness with the house of  Jerubbaal -- Gideon -- according to all the good which he did with  Israel. 
07O 009:001 and Abimelech son of Jerubbaal goeth to Shechem, unto his  mother's brethren, and speaketh unto them, and unto all the  family of the house of his mother's father, saying, 
07O 009:002 `Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the masters of  Shechem, Which [is] good for you -- the ruling over you of  seventy men (all the sons of Jerubbaal), or the ruling over you  of one man? -- and ye have remembered that I [am] your bone and  your flesh.' 
07O 009:003 And his mother's brethren speak concerning him, in the ears  of all the masters of Shechem, all these words, and their heart  inclineth after Abimelech, for they said, `He [is] our brother;' 
07O 009:004 and they give to him seventy silverings out of the house of  Baal-Berith, and Abimelech hireth with them men, vain and  unstable, and they go after him; 
07O 009:005 and he goeth into the house of his father at Ophrah, and  slayeth his brethren, sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one  stone; and Jotham, youngest son of Jerubbaal, is left, for he  was hidden. 
07O 009:006 And all the masters of Shechem are gathered together, and  all the house of Millo, and come and cause Abimelech to reign  for king at the oak of the camp which [is] in Shechem; 
07O 009:007 and they declare [it] to Jotham, and he goeth and standeth  on the top of mount Gerizim, and lifteth up his voice, and  calleth, and saith to them, `Hearken unto me, O masters of  Shechem, and God doth hearken unto you: 
07O 009:008 `The trees have diligently gone to anoint over them a king,  and they say to the olive, Reign thou over us. 
07O 009:009 And the olive saith to them, Have I ceased from my fatness,  by which they honour gods and men, that I have gone to stagger  over the trees? 
07O 009:010 And the trees say to the fig, Come thou, reign over us. 
07O 009:011 And the fig saith to them, Have I ceased from my sweetness,  and my good increase, that I have gone to stagger over the  trees? 
07O 009:012 `And the trees say to the vine, Come thou, reign over us. 
07O 009:013 And the vine saith to them, Have I ceased from my new wine,  which is rejoicing gods and men, that I have gone to stagger  over the trees? 
07O 009:014 And all the trees say unto the bramble, Come thou, reign  over us. 
07O 009:015 And the bramble saith unto the trees, If in truth ye are  anointing me for king over you, come, take refuge in my shadow;  and if not -- fire cometh out from the bramble, and devoureth the  cedars of Lebanon. 
07O 009:016 `And, now, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted, when  ye make Abimelech king; and if ye have done good with  Jerubbaal, and with his house; and if according to the deed of  his hands ye have done to him -- 
07O 009:017 because my father hath fought for you, and doth cast away  his life from [him], and deliver you from the hand of Midian; 
07O 009:018 and ye have risen against the house of my father to-day,  and slay his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and cause  Abimelech son of his handmaid to reign over the masters of  Shechem, because he [is] your brother -- 
07O 009:019 yea, if in truth and in sincerity ye have acted with  Jerubbaal and with his house this day, rejoice ye in Abimelech,  and he doth rejoice -- even he -- in you; 
07O 009:020 and if not -- fire cometh out from Abimelech and devoureth  the masters of Shechem and the house of Millo, and fire cometh  out from the masters of Shechem and from the house of Millo,  and devoureth Abimelech.' 
07O 009:021 And Jotham hasteth, and fleeth, and goeth to Beer, and  dwelleth there, from the face of Abimelech his brother. 
07O 009:022 And Abimelech is prince over Israel three years, 
07O 009:023 and God sendeth an evil spirit between Abimelech and the  masters of Shechem, and the masters of Shechem deal  treacherously with Abimelech, 
07O 009:024 for the coming in of the violence [to] the seventy sons of  Jerubbaal, and of their blood to place [it] on Abimelech their  brother, who slew them, and on the masters of Shechem, who  strengthened his hands to slay his brethren. 
07O 009:025 And the masters of Shechem set for him ambushes on the top  of the hills, and rob every one who passeth over by them in the  way, and it is declared to Abimelech. 
07O 009:026 And Gaal son of Ebed cometh -- also his brethren -- and they  pass over into Shechem, and the masters of Shechem trust in  him, 
07O 009:027 and go out into the field, and gather their vineyards, and  tread, and make praises, and go into the house of their god,  and eat and drink, and revile Abimelech. 
07O 009:028 And Gaal son of Ebed saith, `Who [is] Abimelech, and who  [is] Shechem, that we serve him? is [he] not son of Jerubbaal?  and Zebul his commander? Serve ye the men of Hamor father of  Shechem, and wherefore do we serve him -- we? 
07O 009:029 and oh that this people were in my hand -- then I turn  Abimelech aside;' and he saith to Abimelech, `Increase thy  host, and come out.' 
07O 009:030 And Zebul, prince of the city, heareth the words of Gaal  son of Ebed, and his anger burneth, 
07O 009:031 and he sendeth messengers unto Abimelech deceitfully,  saying, `Lo, Gaal son of Ebed and his brethren are coming into  Shechem, and lo, they are fortifying the city against thee; 
07O 009:032 and, now, rise by night, thou and the people who [are] with  thee, and lay wait in the field, 
07O 009:033 and it hath been, in the morning, about the rising of the  sun, thou dost rise early, and hast pushed against the city;  and lo, he and the people who [are] with him are going out unto  thee -- and thou hast done to him as thy hand doth find.' 
07O 009:034 And Abimelech riseth, and all the people who [are] with  him, by night, and they lay wait against Shechem -- four  detachments; 
07O 009:035 and Gaal son of Ebed goeth out, and standeth at the opening  of the gate of the city, and Abimelech riseth -- also the people  who [are] with him -- from the ambush, 
07O 009:036 and Gaal seeth the people, and saith unto Zebul, `Lo,  people are coming down from the top of the hills;' and Zebul  saith unto him, `The shadow of the hills thou art seeing like  men.' 
07O 009:037 And Gaal addeth yet to speak, and saith, `Lo, people are  coming down from the high part of the land, and another  detachment is coming by the way of the oak of Meonenim.' 
07O 009:038 And Zebul saith unto him, `Where [is] now thy mouth, in  that thou sayest, Who [is] Abimelech that we serve him? is not  this the people against which thou hast kicked? go out, I pray  thee now, and fight against it.' 
07O 009:039 And Gaal goeth out before the masters of Shechem, and  fighteth against Abimelech, 
07O 009:040 and Abimelech pursueth him, and he fleeth from his  presence, and many fall wounded -- unto the opening of the gate. 
07O 009:041 And Abimelech abideth in Arumah, and Zebul casteth out Gaal  and his brethren from dwelling in Shechem. 
07O 009:042 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the people go  out to the field, and they declare [it] to Abimelech, 
07O 009:043 and he taketh the people, and divideth them into three  detachments, and layeth wait in a field, and looketh, and lo,  the people are coming out from the city, and he riseth against  them, and smiteth them. 
07O 009:044 And Abimelech and the detachments who [are] with him have  pushed on, and stand at the opening of the gate of the city,  and the two detachments have pushed against all who are in the  field, and smite them, 
07O 009:045 and Abimelech hath fought against the city all that day,  and captureth the city, and the people who [are] in it he hath  slain, and he breaketh down the city, and soweth it [with]  salt. 
07O 009:046 And all the masters of the tower of Shechem hear, and go in  unto the high place of the house of the god Berith, 
07O 009:047 and it is declared to Abimelech that all the masters of the  tower of Shechem have gathered themselves together, 
07O 009:048 and Abimelech goeth up to mount Zalmon, he and all the  people who [are] with him, and Abimelech taketh the great axe  in his hand, and cutteth off a bough of the trees, and lifteth  it up, and setteth [it] on his shoulder, and saith unto the  people who [are] with him, `What ye have seen I have  done -- haste, do ye like it.' 
07O 009:049 And all the people also cut down each one his bough, and go  after Abimelech, and set [them] at the high place, and burn by  these the high place with fire, and also all the men of the  tower of Shechem die, about a thousand men and women. 
07O 009:050 And Abimelech goeth unto Thebez, and encampeth against  Thebez, and captureth it, 
07O 009:051 and a strong tower hath been in the midst of the city, and  thither flee do all the men and the women, and all the masters  of the city, and they shut [it] behind them, and go up on the  roof of the tower. 
07O 009:052 And Abimelech cometh unto the tower, and fighteth against  it, and draweth nigh unto the opening of the tower to burn it  with fire, 
07O 009:053 and a certain woman doth cast a piece of a rider on the  head of Abimelech, and breaketh his skull, 
07O 009:054 and he calleth hastily unto the young man bearing his  weapons, and saith to him, `Draw thy sword, and thou hast put  me to death, lest they say of me -- A woman slew him;' and his  young man pierced him through, and he dieth. 
07O 009:055 And the men of Israel see that Abimelech [is] dead, and go  each one to his place; 
07O 009:056 and God turneth back the evil of Abimelech which he did to  his father to slay his seventy brethren; 
07O 009:057 and all the evil of the men of Shechem hath God turned back  on their head, and come unto them doth the cursing of Jotham  son of Jerubbaal. 
07O 010:001 And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son  of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in  Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim, 
07O 010:002 and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth,  and is buried in Shamir. 
07O 010:003 And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he  judgeth Israel twenty and two years, 
07O 010:004 and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and  they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this  day), which [are] in the land of Gilead; 
07O 010:005 and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon. 
07O 010:006 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes  of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods  of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the  gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and  forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him; 
07O 010:007 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He  selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the  hand of the Bene-Ammon, 
07O 010:008 and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that  year -- eighteen years all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond  the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead. 
07O 010:009 And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also  against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of  Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress. 
07O 010:010 And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, `We have  sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and  serve the Baalim.' 
07O 010:011 And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, `[Have I] not  [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the  Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines? 
07O 010:012 And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed  you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand; 
07O 010:013 and ye -- ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods,  therefore I add not to save you. 
07O 010:014 Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed;  they -- they save you in the time of your adversity.' 
07O 010:015 And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, `We have sinned,  do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only  deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.' 
07O 010:016 And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their  midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the  misery of Israel. 
07O 010:017 And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in  Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and  encamp in Mizpah. 
07O 010:018 And the people -- heads of Gilead -- say one unto another,  `Who [is] the man that doth begin to fight against the  Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.' 
07O 011:001 And Jephthah the Gileadite hath been a mighty man of  valour, and he [is] son of a woman, a harlot; and Gilead  begetteth Jephthah, 
07O 011:002 and the wife of Gilead beareth to him sons, and the wife's  sons grow up and cast out Jephthah, and say to him, `Thou dost  not inherit in the house of our father; for son of another  woman [art] thou.' 
07O 011:003 And Jephthah fleeth from the face of his brethren, and  dwelleth in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves  together unto Jephthah, and they go out with him. 
07O 011:004 And it cometh to pass, after a time, that the Bene-Ammon  fight with Israel, 
07O 011:005 and it cometh to pass, when the Bene-Ammon have fought with  Israel, that the elders of Gilead go to take Jephthah from the  land of Tob; 
07O 011:006 and they say unto Jephthah, `Come, and thou hast been to us  for captain, and we fight against the Bene-Ammon.' 
07O 011:007 And Jephthah saith to the elders of Gilead, `Have not ye  hated me? and ye cast me out from the house of my father, and  wherefore have ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?' 
07O 011:008 and the elders of Gilead say unto Jephthah, `Therefore,  now, we have turned back unto thee; and thou hast gone with us,  and fought against the Bene-Ammon, and thou hast been to us for  head -- to all the inhabitants of Gilead.' 
07O 011:009 And Jephthah saith unto the elders of Gilead, `If ye are  taking me back to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah  hath given them before me -- I, am I to you for a head?' 
07O 011:010 And the elders of Gilead say unto Jephthah, `Jehovah is  hearkening between us -- if according to thy word we do not so.' 
07O 011:011 And Jephthah goeth with the elders of Gilead, and the  people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah  speaketh all his words before Jehovah in Mizpeh. 
07O 011:012 And Jephthah sendeth messengers unto the king of the  Bene-Ammon, saying, `What -- to me and to thee, that thou hast  come in unto me, to fight in my land.' 
07O 011:013 And the king of the Bene-Ammon saith unto the messengers  of Jephthah, `Because Israel took my land in his coming up out  of Egypt, from Arnon, and unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan;  and now, restore them in peace.' 
07O 011:014 And Jephthah addeth yet and sendeth messengers unto the  king of the Bene-Ammon, 
07O 011:015 and saith to him, `Thus said Jephthah, Israel took not the  land of Moab, and the land of the Bene-Ammon, 
07O 011:016 for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goeth in the  wilderness unto the Red Sea, and cometh in to Kadesh, 
07O 011:017 and Israel sendeth messengers unto the king of Edom,  saying, Let me pass over, I pray thee, through thy land, and  the king of Edom hearkened not; and also unto the king of Moab  hath [Israel] sent, and he hath not been willing; and Israel  abideth in Kadesh, 
07O 011:018 and he goeth through the wilderness, and compasseth the  land of Edom and the land of Moab, and cometh in at the rising  of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon,  and have not come into the border of Moab, for Arnon [is] the  border of Moab. 
07O 011:019 `And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon, king of the  Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel saith to him, Let us pass  over, we pray thee, through thy land, unto my place, 
07O 011:020 and Sihon hath not trusted Israel to pass over through his  border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and they encamp in  Jahaz, and fight with Israel; 
07O 011:021 and Jehovah, God of Israel, giveth Sihon and all his  people into the hand of Israel, and they smite them, and Israel  possesseth all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that  land, 
07O 011:022 and they possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon,  and unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and unto the  Jordan. 
07O 011:023 `And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, hath dispossessed the  Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and thou  wouldst possess it! 
07O 011:024 That which Chemosh thy god causeth thee to possess -- dost  thou not possess it? and all that which Jehovah our God hath  dispossessed from our presence, -- it we do possess. 
07O 011:025 `And now, [art] thou at all better than Balak son of  Zippor, king of Moab? did he at all strive with Israel? did he  at all fight against them? 
07O 011:026 In Israel's dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in  Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by  the sides of Arnon three hundred years -- and wherefore have ye  not delivered them in that time? 
07O 011:027 And I -- I have not sinned against thee, and thou art doing  with me evil -- to fight against me. Jehovah, the Judge, doth  judge to-day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.' 
07O 011:028 And the king of the Bene-Ammon hath not hearkened unto the  words of Jephthah which he sent unto him, 
07O 011:029 and the Spirit of Jehovah is on Jephthah, and he passeth  over Gilead and Manasseh, and passeth over Mizpeh of Gilead,  and from Mizpeh of Gilead he hath passed over to the  Bene-Ammon. 
07O 011:030 And Jephthah voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, `If Thou  dost at all give the Bene-Ammon into my hand -- 
07O 011:031 then it hath been, that which at all cometh out from the  doors of my house to meet me in my turning back in peace from  the Bene-Ammon -- it hath been to Jehovah, or I have offered up  for it -- a burnt-offering.' 
07O 011:032 And Jephthah passeth over unto the Bene-Ammon to fight  against them, and Jehovah giveth them into his hand, 
07O 011:033 and he smiteth them from Aroer, and unto thy going in to  Minnith, twenty cities, and unto the meadow of the vineyards -- a  very great smiting; and the Bene-Ammon are humbled at the  presence of the sons of Israel. 
07O 011:034 And Jephthah cometh into Mizpeh, unto his house, and lo,  his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with  choruses, and save her alone, he hath none, son or daughter. 
07O 011:035 And it cometh to pass, when he seeth her, that he rendeth  his garments, and saith, `Alas, my daughter, thou hast caused me  greatly to bend, and thou hast been among those troubling me;  and I -- I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I am not able  to turn back.' 
07O 011:036 And she saith unto him, `My father -- thou hast opened thy  mouth unto Jehovah, do to me as it hath gone out from thy  mouth, after that Jehovah hath done for thee vengeance on thine  enemies, on the Bene-Ammon.' 
07O 011:037 And she saith unto her father, `Let this thing be done to  me; desist from me two months, and I go on, and have gone down  on the hills, and I weep for my virginity -- I and my friends.' 
07O 011:038 And he saith, `Go;' and he sendeth her away two months,  and she goeth, she and her friends, and she weepeth for her  virginity on the hills; 
07O 011:039 and it cometh to pass at the end of two months that she  turneth back unto her father, and he doth to her his vow which  he hath vowed, and she knew not a man; and it is a statute in  Israel: 
07O 011:040 from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to  the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in a year. 
07O 012:001 And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over  northward, and say to Jephthah, `Wherefore has thou passed over  to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to  go with thee? thy house we burn over thee with fire.' 
07O 012:002 And Jephthah saith unto them, `A man of great strife I have  been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and  ye have not saved me out of their hand, 
07O 012:003 and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in  my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth  them into my hand -- and why have ye come up unto me this day to  fight against me?' 
07O 012:004 And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth  with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they  said, `Fugitives of Ephraim [are] ye Gileadites, in the midst  of Ephraim -- in the midst of Manasseh.' 
07O 012:005 And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim,  and it hath been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say,  `Let me pass over,' and the men of Gilead say to him, `An  Ephramite thou?' and he saith, `No;' 
07O 012:006 that they say to him, `Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;' and  he saith, `Sibboleth,' and is not prepared to speak right -- and  they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the  Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two  chiefs. 
07O 012:007 And Jephthah judged Israel six years, and Jephthah the  Gileadite dieth, and is buried in [one of] the cities of  Gilead. 
07O 012:008 And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judgeth Israel, 
07O 012:009 and he hath thirty sons and thirty daughters, he hath sent  without and thirty daughters hath brought in to his sons from  without; and he judgeth Israel seven years. 
07O 012:010 And Ibzan dieth, and is buried in Beth-Lehem. 
07O 012:011 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judgeth Israel, and he  judgeth Israel ten years, 
07O 012:012 and Elon the Zebulunite dieth, and is buried in Aijalon,  in the land of Zebulun. 
07O 012:013 And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite,  judgeth Israel, 
07O 012:014 and he hath forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on  seventy ass-colts, and he judgeth Israel eight years. 
07O 012:015 And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dieth, and is  buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country  of the Amalekite. 
07O 013:001 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes  of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of the  Philistines forty years. 
07O 013:002 And there is a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the  Danite, and his name [is] Manoah, his wife [is] barren, and hath  not borne; 
07O 013:003 and a messenger of Jehovah appeareth unto the woman, and  saith unto her, `Lo, I pray thee, thou [art] barren, and hast  not borne; when thou hast conceived, then thou hast borne a  son. 
07O 013:004 And, now, take heed, I pray thee, and do not drink wine,  and strong drink, and do not eat any unclean thing, 
07O 013:005 for, lo, thou art conceiving and bearing a son, and a razor  doth not go up on his head, for a Nazarite to God is the youth  from the womb, and he doth begin to save Israel out of the hand  of the Philistines.' 
07O 013:006 And the woman cometh and speaketh to her husband, saying,  `A man of God hath come unto me, and his appearance [is] as the  appearance of a messenger of God, very fearful, and I have not  asked him whence he [is], and his name he hath not declared to  me; 
07O 013:007 and he saith to me, Lo, thou art pregnant, and bearing a  son, and now do not drink wine and strong drink, and do not eat  any unclean thing, for a Nazarite to God is the youth from the  womb till the day of his death.' 
07O 013:008 And Manoah maketh entreaty unto Jehovah, and saith, `O, my  Lord, the man of God whom Thou didst send, let him come in, I  pray thee, again unto us, and direct us what we do to the youth  who is born.' 
07O 013:009 And God hearkeneth to the voice of Manoah, and the  messenger of God cometh again unto the woman, and she [is]  sitting in a field, and Manoah her husband is not with her, 
07O 013:010 and the woman hasteth, and runneth, and declareth to her  husband, and saith unto him, `Lo, he hath appeared unto me -- the  man who came on [that] day unto me.' 
07O 013:011 And Manoah riseth, and goeth after his wife, and cometh  unto the man, and saith to him, `Art thou the man who spake  unto the woman?' and he saith, `I [am].' 
07O 013:012 And Manoah saith, `Now let thy words come to pass; what is  the custom of the youth -- and his work?' 
07O 013:013 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Manoah, `Of all  that I said unto the woman let her take heed; 
07O 013:014 of anything which cometh out from the wine-vine she doth  not eat, and wine and strong drink she doth not drink, and any  unclean thing she doth not eat; all that I have commanded her  she doth observe.' 
07O 013:015 And Manoah saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, `Let us  detain thee, we pray thee, and prepare before thee a kid of the  goats.' 
07O 013:016 And the messenger of Jehovah saith unto Manoah, `If thou  detain me -- I do not eat of thy bread; and if thou prepare a  burnt-offering -- to Jehovah thou dost offer it;' for Manoah hath  not known that He [is] a messenger of Jehovah. 
07O 013:017 And Manoah saith unto the messenger of Jehovah, `What [is]  thy name? when thy words come to pass, then we have honoured  thee.' 
07O 013:018 And the messenger of Jehovah saith to him, `Why [is]  this -- thou dost ask for My name? -- and it [is] Wonderful.' 
07O 013:019 And Manoah taketh the kid of the goats, and the present,  and offereth on the rock to Jehovah, and He is doing  wonderfully, and Manoah and his wife are looking on, 
07O 013:020 and it cometh to pass, in the going up of the flame from  off the altar toward the heavens, that the messenger of Jehovah  goeth up in the flame of the altar, and Manoah and his wife are  looking on, and they fall on their faces to the earth, 
07O 013:021 and the messenger of Jehovah hath not added again to  appear unto Manoah, and unto his wife, then hath Manoah known  that He [is] a messenger of Jehovah. 
07O 013:022 And Manoah saith unto his wife, `We certainly die, for we  have seen God.' 
07O 013:023 And his wife saith to him, `If Jehovah were desirous to  put us to death, He had not received from our hands  burnt-offering and present, nor shewed us all these things, nor  as [at this] time caused us to hear [anything] like this.' 
07O 013:024 And the woman beareth a son, and calleth his name Samson,  and the youth groweth, and Jehovah doth bless him, 
07O 013:025 and the Spirit of Jehovah beginneth to move him in the  camp of Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol. 
07O 014:001 And Samson goeth down to Timnath, and seeth a woman in  Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines, 
07O 014:002 and cometh up and declareth to his father, and to his  mother, and saith, `A woman I have seen in Timnath, of the  daughters of the Philistines; and now, take her for me for a  wife.' 
07O 014:003 And his father saith to him -- also his mother, `Is there not  among the daughters of thy brethren, and among all my people, a  woman, that thou art going to take a woman from the  uncircumcised Philistines?' and Samson saith unto his father,  `Take her for me, for she is right in mine eyes.' 
07O 014:004 And his father and his mother have not known that from  Jehovah it [is], that a meeting he is seeking of the  Philistines; and at that time the Philistines are ruling over  Israel. 
07O 014:005 And Samson goeth down -- also his father and his mother, to  Timnath, and they come unto the vineyards of Timnath, and lo, a  lion's whelp roareth at meeting him, 
07O 014:006 and the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him, and he  rendeth it as the rending of a kid, and there is nothing in his  hand, and he hath not declared to his father and to his mother  that which he hath done. 
07O 014:007 And he goeth down and speaketh to the woman, and she is  right in the eyes of Samson; 
07O 014:008 and he turneth back after [some] days to take her, and  turneth aside to see the carcase of the lion, and lo, a company  of bees [are] in the body of the lion -- and honey. 
07O 014:009 And he taketh it down on to his hands, and goeth on, going  and eating; and he goeth unto his father, and unto his mother,  and giveth to them, and they eat, and he hath not declared to  them that from the body of the lion he took down the honey. 
07O 014:010 And his father goeth down unto the woman, and Samson  maketh there a banquet, for so the young men do; 
07O 014:011 and it cometh to pass when they see him, that they take  thirty companions, and they are with him. 
07O 014:012 And Samson saith to them, `Let me, I pray you, put forth  to you a riddle; if ye certainly declare it to me [in] the  seven days of the banquet, and have found [it] out, then I have  given to you thirty linen shirts, and thirty changes of  garments; 
07O 014:013 and if ye are not able to declare [it] to me, then ye have  given to me thirty linen shirts, and thirty changes of  garments.' And they say to him, `Put forth thy riddle, and we  hear it!' 
07O 014:014 And he saith to them: `Out of the eater came forth meat,  And out of the strong came forth sweetness;' and they were not  able to declare the riddle [in] three days. 
07O 014:015 And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they say  to Samson's wife, `Entice thy husband, that he declare to us  the riddle, lest we burn thee and the house of thy father with  fire; to possess us have ye called for us? is it not?' 
07O 014:016 And Samson's wife weepeth for it, and saith, `Thou hast  only hated me, and hast not loved me; the riddle thou hast put  forth to the sons of my people -- and to me thou hast not  declared it;' and he saith to her, `Lo, to my father and to my  mother I have not declared [it] -- and to thee I declare [it]!' 
07O 014:017 And she weepeth for it the seven days [in] which their  banquet hath been, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day  that he declareth [it] to her, for she hath distressed him; and  she declareth the riddle to the sons of her people. 
07O 014:018 And the men of the city say to him on the seventh day,  before the sun goeth in: -- `What [is] sweeter than honey? And  what stronger than a lion?' And he saith to them: `Unless ye  had ploughed with my heifer, Ye had not found out my riddle.' 
07O 014:019 And the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him, and he  goeth down to Ashkelon, and smiteth of them thirty men, and  taketh their armour, and giveth the changes to those declaring  the riddle; and his anger burneth, and he goeth up to the house  of his father; 
07O 014:020 and Samson's wife becometh his companion's, who [is] his  friend. 
07O 015:001 And it cometh to pass, after [some] days, in the days of  wheat-harvest, that Samson looketh after his wife, with a kid  of the goats, and saith, `I go in unto my wife, to the inner  chamber;' and her father hath not permitted him to go in, 
07O 015:002 and her father saith, I certainly said, that thou didst  certainly hate her, and I give her to thy companion; is not her  sister -- the young one -- better than she? Let her be, I pray  thee, to thee, instead of her.' 
07O 015:003 And Samson saith of them, `I am more innocent this time  than the Philistines, though I am doing with them evil.' 
07O 015:004 And Samson goeth and catcheth three hundred foxes, and  taketh torches, and turneth tail unto tail, and putteth a torch  between the two tails, in the midst, 
07O 015:005 and kindleth fire in the torches, and sendeth [them] out  into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burneth [it]  from heap even unto standing corn, even unto  vineyard -- olive-yard. 
07O 015:006 And the Philistines say, `Who hath done this?' And they  say, `Samson, son-in-law of the Timnite, because he hath taken  away his wife, and giveth her to his companion;' and the  Philistines go up, and burn her and her father with fire. 
07O 015:007 And Samson saith to them, `Though ye do thus, nevertheless  I am avenged on you, and afterwards I cease!' 
07O 015:008 And he smiteth them hip and thigh -- a great smiting, and  goeth down and dwelleth in the cleft of the rock Etam. 
07O 015:009 And the Philistines go up, and encamp in Judah, and are  spread out in Lehi, 
07O 015:010 and the men of Judah say, `Why have ye come up against  us?' and they say, `To bind Samson we have come up, to do to  him as he hath done to us.' 
07O 015:011 And three thousand men of Judah go down unto the cleft of  the rock Etam, and say to Samson, `Hast thou now known that the  Philistines are rulers over us? and what [is] this thou hast  done to us?' And he saith to them, `As they did to me, so I did  to them.' 
07O 015:012 And they say to him, `To bind thee we have come down -- to  give thee into the hand of the Philistines.' And Samson saith  to them, `Swear to me, lest ye fall upon me yourselves.' 
07O 015:013 And they speak to him, saying, No, but we certainly bind  thee, and have given thee into their hand, and we certainly do  not put thee to death;' and they bind him with two thick bands,  new ones, and bring him up from the rock. 
07O 015:014 He hath come unto Lehi -- and the Philistines have shouted  at meeting him -- and the Spirit of Jehovah prospereth over him,  and the thick bands which [are] on his arms are as flax which  they burn with fire, and his bands are wasted from off his  hands, 
07O 015:015 and he findeth a fresh jaw-bone of an ass, and putteth  forth his hand and taketh it, and smiteth with it -- a thousand  men. 
07O 015:016 And Samson saith, `With a jaw-bone of the ass -- an ass  upon asses -- with a jaw-bone of the ass I have smitten a  thousand men.' 
07O 015:017 And it cometh to pass when he finisheth speaking, that he  casteth away the jaw-bone out of his hand, and calleth that  place Ramath-Lehi; 
07O 015:018 and he thirsteth exceedingly, and calleth unto Jehovah,  and saith, `Thou -- Thou hast given by the hand of Thy servant  this great salvation; and now, I die with thirst, and have  fallen into the hand of the uncircumcised.' 
07O 015:019 And God cleaveth the hollow place which [is] in Lehi, and  waters come out of it, and he drinketh, and his spirit cometh  back, and he reviveth; therefore hath [one] called its name  `The fountain of him who is calling,' which [is] in Lehi unto  this day. 
07O 015:020 And he judgeth Israel in the days of the Philistines  twenty years. 
07O 016:001 And Samson goeth to Gaza, and seeth there a woman, a  harlot, and goeth in unto her; 
07O 016:002 [it is told] to the Gazathites, saying, `Samson hath come  in hither;' and they go round and lay wait for him all the  night at the gate of the city, and keep themselves silent all  the night, saying, `Till the light of the morning -- then we have  slain him.' 
07O 016:003 And Samson lieth down till the middle of the night, and  riseth in the middle of the night, and layeth hold on the doors  of the gate of the city, and on the two side posts, and  removeth them with the bar, and putteth on his shoulders, and  taketh them up unto the top of the hill, which [is] on the  front of Hebron. 
07O 016:004 And it cometh to pass afterwards that he loveth a woman in  the valley of Sorek, and her name [is] Delilah, 
07O 016:005 and the princes of the Philistines come up unto her, and  say to her, `Entice him, and see wherein his great power [is],  and wherein we are able for him -- and we have bound him to  afflict him, and we -- we give to thee, each one, eleven hundred  silverlings.' 
07O 016:006 And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Declare, I pray thee, to  me, wherein thy great power [is], and wherewith thou art bound,  to afflict thee.' 
07O 016:007 And Samson saith unto her, `If they bind me with seven  green withs which have not been dried, then I have been weak,  and have been as one of the human race.' 
07O 016:008 And the princes of the Philistines bring up to her seven  green withs which have not been dried, and she bindeth him with  them. 
07O 016:009 And the ambush is abiding with her in an inner chamber, and  she saith unto him, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and  he breaketh the withs as a thread of tow is broken in its  smelling fire, and his power hath not been known. 
07O 016:010 And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Lo, thou hast played upon  me, and speakest unto me lies; now, declare, I pray thee, to  me, wherewith thou art bound.' 
07O 016:011 And he saith unto her, `If they certainly bind me with  thick bands, new ones, by which work hath not been done, then I  have been weak, and have been as one of the human race.' 
07O 016:012 And Delilah taketh thick bands, new ones, and bindeth him  with them, and saith unto him, `Philistines [are] upon thee,  Samson;' and the ambush is abiding in an inner chamber, and he  breaketh them from off his arms as a thread. 
07O 016:013 And Delilah saith unto Samson, `Hitherto thou hast played  upon me, and dost speak unto me lies; declare to me wherewith  thou art bound.' And he saith unto her, `If thou weavest the  seven locks of my head with the web.' 
07O 016:014 And she fixeth [it] with the pin, and saith unto him,  `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and he awaketh out of  his sleep, and journeyeth with the pin of the weaving machine,  and with the web. 
07O 016:015 And she saith unto him, `How dost thou say, I have loved  thee, and thy heart is not with me? these three times thou hast  played upon me, and hast not declared to me wherein thy great  power [is].' 
07O 016:016 And it cometh to pass, because she distressed him with her  words all the days, and doth urge him, and his soul is grieved  to death, 
07O 016:017 that he declareth to her all his heart, and saith to her,  `A razor hath not gone up on my head, for a Nazarite to God I  [am] from the womb of my mother; if I have been shaven, then  hath my power turned aside from me, and I have been weak, and  have been as any of the human race.' 
07O 016:018 And Delilah seeth that he hath declared to her all his  heart, and she sendeth and calleth for the princes of the  Philistines, saying, `Come up this time, for he hath declared  to me all his heart;' and the princes of the Philistines have  come up unto her, and bring up the money in their hand. 
07O 016:019 and she maketh him sleep on her knees, and calleth for a  man, and shaveth the seven locks of his head, and beginneth to  afflict him, and his power turneth aside from off him; 
07O 016:020 and she saith, `Philistines [are] upon thee, Samson;' and  he awaketh out of his sleep, and saith, `I go out as time by  time, and shake myself;' and he hath not known that Jehovah  hath turned aside from off him. 
07O 016:021 And the Philistines seize him, and pick out his eyes, and  bring him down to Gaza, and bind him with two brazen fetters;  and he is grinding in the prison-house. 
07O 016:022 And the hair of his head beginneth to shoot up, when he  hath been shaven, 
07O 016:023 and the princes of the Philistines have been gathered  together to sacrifice a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and  to rejoice; and they say, `Our god hath given into our hand  Samson our enemy.' 
07O 016:024 And the people see him, and praise their god, for they  said, `Our god hath given in our hand our enemy, and he who is  laying waste our land, and who multiplied our wounded.' 
07O 016:025 And it cometh to pass, when their heart [is] glad, that  they say, `Call for Samson, and he doth play before us;' and  they call for Samson out of the prison-house, and he playeth  before them, and they cause him to stand between the pillars. 
07O 016:026 And Samson saith unto the young man who is keeping hold on  his hand, `Let me alone, and let me feel the pillars on which  the house is established, and I lean upon them.' 
07O 016:027 And the house hath been full of men and of women, and  thither [are] all the princes of the Philistines, and on the  roof [are] about three thousand men and women, who are looking  on the playing of Samson. 
07O 016:028 And Samson calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, `Lord Jehovah,  remember me, I pray Thee, and strengthen me, I pray Thee, only  this time, O God; and I am avenged -- vengeance at once --  because of my two eyes, on the Philistines.' 
07O 016:029 And Samson turneth aside [to] the two middle pillars, on  which the house is established, and on which it is supported,  [to] the one with his right hand, and one with his left; 
07O 016:030 and Samson saith, `Let me die with the Philistines,' and  he inclineth himself powerfully, and the house falleth on the  princes, and on all the people who [are] in it, and the dead  whom he hath put to death in his death are more than those whom  he put to death in his life. 
07O 016:031 And his brethren come down, and all the house of his  father, and lift him up, and bring him up, and bury him between  Zorah and Eshtaol, in the burying-place of Manoah his father;  and he hath judged Israel twenty years. 
07O 017:001 And there is a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, and his  name [is] Micah, 
07O 017:002 and he saith to his mother, `The eleven hundred silverlings  which have been taken of thine, and [of which] thou hast sworn,  and also spoken in mine ears; lo, the silver [is] with me, I  have taken it;' and his mother saith, `Blessed [is] my son of  Jehovah.' 
07O 017:003 And he giveth back the eleven hundred silverlings to his  mother, and his mother saith, `I had certainly sanctified the  silver to Jehovah, from my hand, for my son, to make a graven  image, and a molten image; and now, I give it back to thee.' 
07O 017:004 And he giveth back the money to his mother, and his mother  taketh two hundred silverlings, and giveth them to a refiner,  and he maketh them a graven image, and a molten image, and it  is in the house of Micah. 
07O 017:005 As to the man Micah, he hath a house of gods, and he maketh  an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrateth the hand of one of his  sons, and he is to him for a priest; 
07O 017:006 in those days there is no king in Israel, each that which  is right in his own eyes doth. 
07O 017:007 And there is a young man of Beth-Lehem-Judah, of the family  of Judah, and he [is] a Levite, and he [is] a sojourner there. 
07O 017:008 And the man goeth out of the city, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah,  to sojourn where he doth find, and cometh to the hill-country  of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, to work his way. 
07O 017:009 And Micah saith to him, `Whence comest thou?' and he saith  unto him, `A Levite [am] I, of Beth-Lehem-Judah, and I am going  to sojourn where I do find.' 
07O 017:010 And Micah saith to him, `Dwell with me, and be to me for a  father and for a priest, and I give to thee ten silverlings for  the days, and a suit of garments, and thy sustenance;' and the  Levite goeth [in]. 
07O 017:011 And the Levite is willing to dwell with the man, and the  young man is to him as one of his sons. 
07O 017:012 And Micah consecrateth the hand of the Levite, and the  young man is to him for a priest, and he is in the house of  Micah, 
07O 017:013 and Micah saith, `Now I have known that Jehovah doth good  to me, for the Levite hath been to me for a priest.' 
07O 018:001 In those days there is no king in Israel, and in those days  the tribe of the Danite is seeking for itself an inheritance to  inhabit, for [that] hath not fallen to it unto that day in the  midst of the tribes of Israel by inheritance. 
07O 018:002 And the sons of Dan send, out of their family, five men of  them, men, sons of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to  traverse the land, and to search it, and they say unto them,  `Go, search the land;' and they come into the hill-country of  Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and lodge there. 
07O 018:003 They [are] with the household of Micah, and they have  discerned the voice of the young man, the Levite, and turn  aside there, and say to him, `Who hath brought thee hither? and  what art thou doing in this [place?] and what to thee here?' 
07O 018:004 And he saith unto them, `Thus and thus hath Micah done to  me; and he hireth me, and I am to him for a priest.' 
07O 018:005 And they say to him, `Ask, we pray thee, at God, and we  know whether our way is prosperous on which we are going.' 
07O 018:006 And the priest saith to them, `Go in peace; over-against  Jehovah [is] your way in which ye go.' 
07O 018:007 And the five men go, and come in to Laish, and see the  people which [is] in its midst, dwelling confidently, according  to the custom of Zidonians, quiet and confident; and there is  none putting to shame in the land in [any] thing, possessing  restraint, and they [are] far off from the Zidonians, and have  no word with [any] man. 
07O 018:008 And they come in unto their brethren, at Zorah and Eshtaol,  and their brethren say to them, `What -- ye?' 
07O 018:009 And they say, `Rise, and we go up against them, for we have  seen the land, and lo, very good; and ye are keeping silent! be  not slothful to go -- to enter to possess the land. 
07O 018:010 When ye go, ye come in unto a people confident, and the  land [is] large on both hands, for God hath given it into your  hand, a place where there is no lack of anything which [is] in  the land.' 
07O 018:011 And there journey thence, of the family of the Danite,  from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, six hundred men girded with  weapons of war. 
07O 018:012 And they go up and encamp in Kirjath-Jearim, in Judah,  therefore they have called that place, `Camp of Dan,' till this  day; lo, behind Kirjath-Jearim. 
07O 018:013 And they pass over thence [to] the hill-country of  Ephraim, and come in unto the house of Micah. 
07O 018:014 And the five men, those going to traverse the land of  Laish, answer and say unto their brethren, `Have ye known that  there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and graven  image, and molten image? and now, know what ye do.' 
07O 018:015 And they turn aside thither, and come in unto the house of  the young man the Levite, the house of Micah, and ask of him of  welfare, -- 
07O 018:016 (and the six hundred men girded with their weapons of war,  who [are] of the sons of Dan, are standing at the opening of  the gate), -- 
07O 018:017 yea, the five men, those going to traverse the land, go  up -- they have come in thither -- they have taken the graven image,  and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image -- and the  priest is standing at the opening of the gate, and the six  hundred men who are girded with weapons of war -- 
07O 018:018 yea, these have entered the house of Micah, and take the  graven image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten  image; and the priest saith unto them, `What are ye doing?' 
07O 018:019 and they say to him, `Keep silent, lay thy hand on thy  mouth, and go with us, and be to us for a father and for a  priest: is it better thy being a priest to the house of one  man, or thy being priest to a tribe and to a family in Israel?' 
07O 018:020 And the heart of the priest is glad, and he taketh the  ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and goeth into  the midst of the people, 
07O 018:021 and they turn and go, and put the infants, and the cattle,  and the baggage, before them. 
07O 018:022 They have been far off from the house of Micah -- and the  men who [are] in the houses which [are] near the house of Micah  have been called together, and overtake the sons of Dan, 
07O 018:023 and call unto the sons of Dan, and they turn round their  faces, and say to Micah, `What -- to thee that thou hast been  called together?' 
07O 018:024 And he saith, `My gods which I made ye have taken, and the  priest, and ye go; and what to me more? and what [is] this ye  say unto me, What -- to thee!' 
07O 018:025 And the sons of Dan say unto him, `Let not thy voice be  heard with us, lest men bitter in soul fall upon you, and thou  hast gathered thy life, and the life of thy household;' 
07O 018:026 and the sons of Dan go on their way, and Micah seeth that  they are stronger than he, and turneth, and goeth back unto his  house. 
07O 018:027 And they have taken that which Micah had made, and the  priest whom he had, and come in against Laish, against a people  quiet and confident, and smite them by the mouth of the sword,  and the city have burnt with fire, 
07O 018:028 and there is no deliverer, for it [is] far off from Zidon,  and they have no word with [any] man, and it [is] in the valley  which [is] by Beth-Rehob; and they build the city, and dwell in  it, 
07O 018:029 and call the name of the city Dan, by the name of Dan  their father, who was born to Israel; and yet Laish [is] the  name of the city at the first. 
07O 018:030 And the sons of Dan raise up for themselves the graven  image, and Jonathan son of Gershom, son of Manasseh, he and his  sons have been priests to the tribe of the Danite, till the day  of the removal of [the people] of the land. 
07O 018:031 And they appoint for them the graven image of Micah, which  he had made, all the days of the house of God being in Shiloh. 
07O 019:001 And it cometh to pass, in those days, when there is no king  in Israel, that there is a man a Levite, a sojourner in the  sides of the hill-country of Ephraim, and he taketh to him a  wife, a concubine, out of Beth-Lehem-Judah; 
07O 019:002 and commit whoredom against him doth his concubine, and she  goeth from him unto the house of her father, unto  Beth-Lehem-Judah, and is there days -- four months. 
07O 019:003 And her husband riseth and goeth after her, to speak unto  her heart, to bring her back, and his young man [is] with him,  and a couple of asses; and she bringeth him into the house of  her father, and the father of the young woman seeth him, and  rejoiceth to meet him. 
07O 019:004 And keep hold on him doth his father-in-law, father of the  young woman, and he abideth with him three days, and they eat  and drink, and lodge there. 
07O 019:005 And it cometh to pass, on the fourth day, that they rise  early in the morning, and he riseth to go, and the father of  the young woman saith unto his son-in-law, `Support thy heart  with a morsel of bread, and afterward ye go on.' 
07O 019:006 And they sit and eat both of them together, and drink, and  the father of the young woman saith unto the man, `Be willing,  I pray thee, and lodge all night, and let thy heart be glad.' 
07O 019:007 And the man riseth to go, and his father-in-law presseth on  him, and he turneth back and lodgeth there. 
07O 019:008 And he riseth early in the morning, on the fifth day, to  go, and the father of the young woman saith, `Support, I pray  thee, thy heart;' and they have tarried till the turning of the  day, and they eat, both of them. 
07O 019:009 And the man riseth to go, he and his concubine, and his  young man, and his father-in-law, father of the young woman,  saith to him, `Lo, I pray thee, the day hath fallen toward  evening, lodge all night, I pray thee; lo, the declining of the  day! lodge here, and let thine heart be glad -- and ye have risen  early to-morrow for your journey, and thou hast gone to thy  tent.' 
07O 019:010 And the man hath not been willing to lodge all night, and  he riseth, and goeth, and cometh in till over-against Jebus (It  [is] Jerusalem), and with him [are] a couple of asses saddled;  and his concubine [is] with him. 
07O 019:011 They [are] near Jebus, and the day hath gone greatly down,  and the young man saith unto his lord, `Come, I pray thee, and  we turn aside unto this city of the Jebusite, and lodge in it.' 
07O 019:012 And his lord saith unto him, `Let us not turn aside unto  the city of a stranger, that is not of the sons of Israel,  thither, but we have passed over unto Gibeah.' 
07O 019:013 And he saith to his young man, `Come, and we draw near to  one of the places, and have lodged in Gibeah, or in Ramah.' 
07O 019:014 And they pass over, and go on, and the sun goeth in upon  them near Gibeah, which is to Benjamin; 
07O 019:015 and they turn aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah, and  he goeth in and sitteth in a broad place of the city, and there  is no man gathering them into the house to lodge. 
07O 019:016 And lo, a man, an aged one, hath come from his work from  the field in the evening, and the man [is] of the hill-country  of Ephraim, and he [is] a sojourner in Gibeah, and the men of  the place [are] Benjamites. 
07O 019:017 And he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the man, the  traveller, in a broad place of the city, and the aged man saith,  `Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?' 
07O 019:018 And he saith unto him, `We are passing over from  Beth-Lehem-Judah unto the sides of the hill-country of  Ephraim -- thence I [am], and I go unto Beth-Lehem-Judah; and to  the house of Jehovah I am going, and there is no man gathering  me into the house, 
07O 019:019 and both straw and provender are for our asses, and also  bread and wine there are for me, and for thy handmaid, and for  the young man with thy servants; there is no lack of anything.' 
07O 019:020 And the old man saith, `Peace to thee; only, all thy lack  [is] on me, only in the broad place lodge not.' 
07O 019:021 And he bringeth him in to his house, and mixeth [food] for  the asses, and they wash their feet, and eat and drink. 
07O 019:022 They are making their heart glad, and lo, men of the city,  men -- sons of worthlessness -- have gone round about the house,  beating on the door, and they speak unto the old man, the  master of the house, saying, `Bring out the man who hath come  unto thine house, and we know him.' 
07O 019:023 And the man, the master of the house, goeth out unto them,  and saith unto them, `Nay, my brethren, do not evil, I pray  you, after that this man hath come in unto my house, do not  this folly; 
07O 019:024 lo, my daughter, the virgin, and his concubine, let me  bring them out, I pray you, and humble ye them, and do to them  that which is good in your eyes, and to this man do not this  foolish thing.' 
07O 019:025 And the men have not been willing to hearken to him, and  the man taketh hold on his concubine, and bringeth [her] out  unto them without, and they know her, and roll themselves upon  her all the night, till the morning, and send her away in the  ascending of the dawn; 
07O 019:026 and the woman cometh in at the turning of the morning, and  falleth at the opening of the man's house, where her lord [is],  till the light. 
07O 019:027 And her lord riseth in the morning, and openeth the doors  of the house, and goeth out to go on his way, and lo, the  woman, his concubine, is fallen at the opening of the house,  and her hands [are] on the threshold, 
07O 019:028 and he saith unto her, `Rise, and we go;' and there is  none answering, and he taketh her on the ass, and the man  riseth and goeth to his place, 
07O 019:029 and cometh in unto his house, and taketh the knife, and  layeth hold on his concubine, and cutteth her in pieces to her  bones -- into twelve pieces, and sendeth her into all the border  of Israel. 
07O 019:030 And it hath come to pass, every one who seeth hath said,  `There hath not been -- yea, there hath not been seen like this,  from the day of the coming up of the sons of Israel out of the  land of Egypt till this day; set your [heart] upon it, take  counsel, and speak.' 
07O 020:001 And all the sons of Israel go out, and the company is  assembled as one man, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and the  land of Gilead, unto Jehovah, at Mizpeh. 
07O 020:002 And the chiefs of all the people, of all the tribes of  Israel, station themselves in the assembly of the people of  God, four hundred thousand footmen drawing sword. 
07O 020:003 And the sons of Benjamin hear that the sons of Israel have  gone up to Mizpeh. And the sons of Israel say, `Speak ye, how  hath this evil been?' 
07O 020:004 And the man, the Levite, husband of the woman who hath been  murdered, answereth and saith, `Into Gibeah (which [is] to  Benjamin) I have come, I and my concubine, to lodge; 
07O 020:005 and rise against me do the masters of Gibeah -- and they go  round the house against me by night -- me they thought to slay,  and my concubine they have humbled, and she dieth; 
07O 020:006 and I lay hold on my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and  send her into all the country of the inheritance of Israel; for  they have done wickedness and folly in Israel; 
07O 020:007 lo, ye [are] all sons of Israel; give for you a word and  counsel here.' 
07O 020:008 And all the people rise as one man, saying, `None of us  doth go to his tent, and none of us doth turn aside to his  house; 
07O 020:009 and now, this [is] the thing which we do to Gibeah -- against  it by lot! 
07O 020:010 and we have taken ten men of a hundred, of all the tribes  of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a  myriad, to receive provision for the people, to do, at their  coming to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly which  it hath done in Israel.' 
07O 020:011 And every man of Israel is gathered unto the city, as one  man -- companions. 
07O 020:012 And the tribes of Israel send men among all the tribes of  Benjamin, saying, `What [is] this evil which hath been among  you? 
07O 020:013 And now, give up the men -- sons of worthlessness -- which  [are] in Gibeah, and we put them to death, and we put away evil  from Israel.' And [the sons of] Benjamin have not been willing  to hearken to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel; 
07O 020:014 and the sons of Benjamin are gathered out of the cities to  Gibeah, to go out to battle with the sons of Israel. 
07O 020:015 And the sons of Benjamin number themselves on that day;  out of the cities [are] twenty and six thousand men drawing  sword, apart from the inhabitants of Gibeah, [who] numbered  themselves, seven hundred chosen men; 
07O 020:016 among all this people [are] seven hundred chosen men,  bound of their right hand, each of these slinging with a stone  at the hair, and he doth not err. 
07O 020:017 And the men of Israel numbered themselves, apart from  Benjamin, four hundred thousand men, drawing sword, each of  these a man of war. 
07O 020:018 And they rise and go up to Beth-El, and ask of God, and  the sons of Israel say, `Who doth go up for us at the  commencement to battle with the sons of Benjamin?' and Jehovah  saith, `Judah -- at the commencement.' 
07O 020:019 And the sons of Israel rise in the morning, and encamp  against Gibeah, 
07O 020:020 and the men of Israel go out to battle with Benjamin, and  the men of Israel set themselves in array with them, [for]  battle against Gibeah, 
07O 020:021 and the sons of Benjamin come out from Gibeah, and destroy  in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men -- to the  earth. 
07O 020:022 And the people, the men of Israel, strengthen themselves,  and add to set the battle in array in the place where they  arranged themselves on the first day. 
07O 020:023 And the sons of Israel go up and weep before Jehovah till  the evening, and ask of Jehovah, saying, `Do I add to draw nigh  to battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother?' And Jehovah  saith, `Go up against him.' 
07O 020:024 And the sons of Israel draw near unto the sons of Benjamin  on the second day, 
07O 020:025 and Benjamin cometh out to meet them from Gibeah on the  second day, and destroy among the sons of Israel again eighteen  thousand men -- to the earth; all these are drawing sword. 
07O 020:026 And all the sons of Israel go up, even all the people, and  come in to Beth-El, and weep, and sit there before Jehovah, and  fast on that day till the evening, and cause to ascend  burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before Jehovah. 
07O 020:027 And the sons of Israel ask of Jehovah, -- and there [is] the  ark of the covenant of God in those days, 
07O 020:028 and Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron, is standing  before it in those days -- saying, `Do I add again to go out to  battle with the sons of Benjamin, my brother, or do I cease?'  And Jehovah saith, `Go up, for to-morrow I give him into thy  hand.' 
07O 020:029 And Israel setteth liers in wait against Gibeah, round  about, 
07O 020:030 and the sons of Israel go up against the sons of Benjamin,  on the third day, and arrange themselves against Gibeah, as  time by time. 
07O 020:031 And the sons of Benjamin come out to meet the people; they  have been drawn away out of the city, and begin to smite [some]  of the people -- wounded as time by time, in the highways (of  which one is going up to Beth-El, and the other to Gibeah in  the field), [are] about thirty men of Israel. 
07O 020:032 And the sons of Benjamin say, `They are smitten before us  as at the beginning;' but the sons of Israel said, `Let us  flee, and draw them away out of the city, unto the highways.' 
07O 020:033 And all the men of Israel have risen from their place, and  arrange themselves at Baal-Tamar, and the ambush of Israel is  coming forth out of its place, out of the meadow of Gibeah. 
07O 020:034 And they come in over against Gibeah -- ten thousand chosen  men out of all Israel -- and the battle [is] grievous, and they  have not known that the evil is striking against them. 
07O 020:035 And Jehovah smiteth Benjamin before Israel, and the sons  of Israel destroy in Benjamin, on that day, twenty and five  thousand, and a hundred men; all these [are] drawing sword. 
07O 020:036 And the sons of Benjamin see that they have been  smitten -- and the men of Israel give place to Benjamin, for they  have trusted unto the ambush which they had set against Gibeah, 
07O 020:037 and the ambush have hasted, and push against Gibeah, and  the ambush draweth itself out, and smiteth the whole of the  city by the mouth of the sword. 
07O 020:038 And there was the appointed sign to the men of Israel with  the ambush -- their causing to go up a great volume of smoke from  the city. 
07O 020:039 And the men of Israel turn in battle, and Benjamin hath  begun to smite the wounded among the men of Israel, about  thirty men, for they said, `Surely they are utterly smitten  before us, as [at] the first battle; 
07O 020:040 and the volume hath begun to go up from the city -- a pillar  of smoke -- and Benjamin turneth behind, and lo, gone up hath the  perfection of the city toward the heavens. 
07O 020:041 And the men of Israel have turned, and the men of Benjamin  are troubled, for they have seen that the evil hath stricken  against them -- 
07O 020:042 and they turn before the men of Israel unto the way of the  wilderness, and the battle hath followed them; and those who  [are] from the city are destroying them in their midst; 
07O 020:043 they have compassed the Benjamites -- they have pursued them  -- with ease they have trodden them down till over-against Gibeah,  at the sun-rising. 
07O 020:044 And there fall of Benjamin eighteen thousand men -- the  whole of these [are] men of valour; 
07O 020:045 and they turn and flee toward the wilderness, unto the  rock of Rimmon; and they glean of them in the highways five  thousand men, and follow after them unto Gidom, and smite of  them two thousand men. 
07O 020:046 And all those falling of Benjamin are twenty and five  thousand men drawing sword, on that day -- the whole of these  [are] men of valour; 
07O 020:047 and there turn and flee into the wilderness, unto the rock  of Rimmon six hundred men, and they dwell in the rock Rimmon  four months. 
07O 020:048 And the men of Israel have turned back unto the sons of  Benjamin, and smite them by the mouth of the sword out of the  city, -- men unto cattle, unto all that is found; also all the  cities which are found they have sent into fire. 
07O 021:001 And the men of Israel have sworn in Mizpeh, saying, `None  of us doth give his daughter to Benjamin for a wife.' 
07O 021:002 And the people come in to Beth-El, and sit there till the  evening before God, and lift up their voice, and weep -- a  great weeping, 
07O 021:003 and say, `Why, O Jehovah, God of Israel, hath this been in  Israel -- to be lacking to-day, from Israel, one tribe?' 
07O 021:004 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the people rise  early, and build there an altar, and cause to ascend  burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. 
07O 021:005 And the sons of Israel say, `Who [is] he that hath not come  up in the assembly out of all the tribes of Israel unto  Jehovah?' for the great oath hath been concerning him who hath  not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh, saying, `He is surely put  to death.' 
07O 021:006 And the sons of Israel repent concerning Benjamin their  brother, and say, `There hath been to-day cut off one tribe  from Israel, 
07O 021:007 what do we do for them -- for those who are left -- for wives,  and we -- we have sworn by Jehovah not to give to them of our  daughters for wives?' 
07O 021:008 And they say, `Who is [that] one out of the tribes of  Israel who hath not come up unto Jehovah to Mizpeh?' and lo,  none hath come in unto the camp from Jabesh-Gilead -- unto the  assembly. 
07O 021:009 And the people numbered themselves, and lo, there is not  there a man of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead. 
07O 021:010 And the company send there twelve thousand men of the sons  of valour, and command them, saying, `Go -- and ye have smitten  the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead by the mouth of the sword,  even the women and the infants. 
07O 021:011 And this [is] the thing which ye do; every male, and every  woman knowing the lying of a male, ye devote.' 
07O 021:012 And they find out of the inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead four  hundred young women, virgins, who have not known man by the  lying of a male, and they bring them in unto the camp at  Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan. 
07O 021:013 And all the company send, and speak, unto the sons of  Benjamin who [are] in the rock Rimmon, and proclaim to them  peace; 
07O 021:014 and Benjamin turneth back at that time, and they give to  them the women whom they have kept alive of the women of  Jabesh-Gilead, and they have not found for [all of] them so. 
07O 021:015 And the people repented concerning Benjamin, for Jehovah  had made a breach among the tribes of Israel. 
07O 021:016 And the elders of the company say, `What do we do to the  remnant for wives -- for the women have been destroyed out of  Benjamin?' 
07O 021:017 And they say, `A possession of an escaped party [is] to  Benjamin, and a tribe is not blotted out from Israel; 
07O 021:018 and we -- we are not able to give to them wives out of our  daughters, for the sons of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed  [is] he who is giving a wife to Benjamin.' 
07O 021:019 And they say, `Lo, a festival of Jehovah [is] in Shiloh,  from time to time, which [is] on the north of Beth-El, at the  rising of the sun, by the highway which is going up from  Beth-El to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.' 
07O 021:020 And they command the sons of Benjamin, saying, `Go -- and ye  have laid wait in the vineyards, 
07O 021:021 and have seen, and lo, if the daughters of Shiloh come out  to dance in dances -- then ye have gone out from the vineyards,  and caught for you each his wife out of the daughters of  Shiloh, and gone to the land of Benjamin; 
07O 021:022 and it hath been, when their fathers or their brethren  come in to plead unto us, that we have said unto them, Favour  us [by] them, for we have not taken [to] each his wife in  battle, for ye -- ye have not given to them at this time [that]  ye are guilty.' 
07O 021:023 And the sons of Benjamin do so, and take women according  to their number, out of the dancers whom they have taken  violently away; and they go, and turn back unto their  inheritance, and build the cities, and dwell in them. 
07O 021:024 And the sons of Israel go up and down thence at that time,  each to his tribe, and to his family; and they go out thence  each to his inheritance. 
07O 021:025 In those days there is no king in Israel; each doth that  which is right in his own eyes.  
08O 001:001 And it cometh to pass, in the days of the judging of the  judges, that there is a famine in the land, and there goeth a  man from Beth-Lehem-Judah to sojourn in the fields of Moab, he,  and his wife, and his two sons. 
08O 001:002 And the name of the man [is] Elimelech, and the name of his  wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion,  Ephrathites from Beth-Lehem-Judah; and they come into the  fields of Moab, and are there. 
08O 001:003 And Elimelech husband of Naomi dieth, and she is left, she  and her two sons; 
08O 001:004 and they take to them wives, Moabitesses: the name of the  one [is] Orpah, and the name of the second Ruth; and they dwell  there about ten years. 
08O 001:005 And they die also, both of them -- Mahlon and Chilion -- and the  woman is left of her two children and of her husband. 
08O 001:006 And she riseth, she and her daughters-in-law, and turneth  back from the fields of Moab, for she hath heard in the fields  of Moab that God hath looked after His people, -- to give to them  bread. 
08O 001:007 And she goeth out from the place where she hath been, and  her two daughters-in-law with her, and they go in the way to  turn back unto the land of Judah. 
08O 001:008 And Naomi saith to her two daughters-in-law, `Go, turn back,  each to the house of her mother; Jehovah doth with you kindness  as ye have done with the dead, and with me; 
08O 001:009 Jehovah doth grant to you, and find ye rest each in the  house of her husband;' and she kisseth them, and they lift up  their voice and weep. 
08O 001:010 And they say to her, `Surely with thee we go back to thy  people.' 
08O 001:011 And Naomi saith, `Turn back, my daughters; why do ye go  with me? are there yet to me sons in my bowels that they have  been to you for husbands? 
08O 001:012 Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too aged to be to a  husband; though I had said, There is for me hope, also, I have  been to-night to a husband, and also I have borne sons: 
08O 001:013 for them do ye wait till that they grow up? for them do ye  shut yourselves up, not to be to a husband? nay, my daughters,  for more bitter to me than to you, for the hand of Jehovah hath  gone out against me.' 
08O 001:014 And they lift up their voice, and weep again, and Orpah  kisseth her mother-in-law, and Ruth hath cleaved to her. 
08O 001:015 And she saith, `Lo, thy sister-in-law hath turned back unto  her people, and unto her god, turn thou back after thy  sister-in-law.' 
08O 001:016 And Ruth saith, `Urge me not to leave thee -- to turn back  from after thee; for whither thou goest I go, and where thou  lodgest I lodge; thy people [is] my people, and thy God my God. 
08O 001:017 Where thou diest I die, and there I am buried; thus doth  Jehovah to me, and thus doth He add -- for death itself doth part  between me and thee.' 
08O 001:018 And she seeth that she is strengthening herself to go with  her, and she ceaseth to speak unto her; 
08O 001:019 and they go both of them till their coming in to Beth-Lehem;  and it cometh to pass at their coming in to Beth-Lehem, that  all the city is moved at them, and they say, `Is this Naomi?' 
08O 001:020 And she saith unto them, `Call me not Naomi; call me Mara,  for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly to me, 
08O 001:021 I went out full, and empty hath Jehovah brought me back,  why do ye call me Naomi, and Jehovah hath testified against me,  and the Almighty hath done evil to me?' 
08O 001:022 And Naomi turneth back, and Ruth the Moabitess her  daughter-in-law with her, who hath turned back from the fields  of Moab, and they have come in to Beth-Lehem at the  commencement of barley-harvest. 
08O 002:001 And Naomi hath an acquaintance of her husband's, a man  mighty in wealth, of the family of Elimelech, and his name [is]  Boaz. 
08O 002:002 And Ruth the Moabitess saith unto Naomi, `Let me go, I pray  thee, into the field, and I gather among the ears of corn after  him in whose eyes I find grace;' and she saith to her, `Go, my  daughter.' 
08O 002:003 And she goeth and cometh and gathereth in a field after the  reapers, and her chance happeneth -- the portion of the field is  Boaz's who [is] of the family of Elimelech. 
08O 002:004 And lo, Boaz hath come from Beth-Lehem, and saith to the  reapers, `Jehovah [is] with you;' and they say to him,  `Jehovah doth bless thee.' 
08O 002:005 And Boaz saith to his young man who is set over the reapers,  `Whose [is] this young person?' 
08O 002:006 And the young man who is set over the reapers answereth and  saith, `A young woman -- Moabitess -- she [is], who came back with  Naomi from the fields of Moab, 
08O 002:007 and she saith, Let me glean, I pray thee -- and I have  gathered among the sheaves after the reapers; and she cometh  and remaineth since the morning and till now; she sat in the  house a little. 
08O 002:008 And Boaz saith unto Ruth, `Hast thou not heard, my daughter?  go not to glean in another field, and also, pass not over from  this, and thus thou dost cleave to my young women: 
08O 002:009 thine eyes [are] on the field which they reap, and thou hast  gone after them; have not I charged the young men not to touch  thee? when thou art athirst then thou hast gone unto the  vessels, and hast drunk from that which the young men draw.' 
08O 002:010 And she falleth on her face, and boweth herself to the  earth, and saith unto him, `Wherefore have I found grace in  thine eyes, to discern me, and I a stranger?' 
08O 002:011 And Boaz answereth and saith to her, `It hath thoroughly  been declared to me all that thou hast done with thy  mother-in-law, after the death of thy husband, and thou dost  leave thy father, and thy mother, and the land of thy birth,  and dost come in unto a people which thou hast not known  heretofore. 
08O 002:012 Jehovah doth recompense thy work, and thy reward is  complete from Jehovah, God of Israel, under whose wings thou  hast come to take refuge.' 
08O 002:013 And she saith, `Let me find grace in thine eyes, my lord,  because thou hast comforted me, and because thou hast spoken  unto the heart of thy maid-servant, and I -- I am not as one of  thy maid-servants.' 
08O 002:014 And Boaz saith to her, `At meal-time come nigh hither, and  thou hast eaten of the bread, and dipped thy morsel in the  vinegar.' And she sitteth at the side of the reapers, and he  reacheth to her roasted corn, and she eateth, and is satisfied,  and leaveth. 
08O 002:015 And she riseth to glean, and Boaz chargeth his young men,  saying, `Even between the sheaves she doth glean, and ye do not  cause her to blush; 
08O 002:016 and also ye do surely cast to her of the handfuls -- and have  left, and she hath gleaned, and ye do not push against her.' 
08O 002:017 And she gleaneth in the field till the evening, and beateth  out that which she hath gleaned, and it is about an ephah of  barley; 
08O 002:018 and she taketh [it] up, and goeth into the city, and her  mother-in-law seeth that which she hath gleaned, and she  bringeth out and giveth to her that which she left from her  satiety. 
08O 002:019 And her mother-in-law saith to her, `Where hast thou  gleaned to-day? and where hast thou wrought? may he who is  discerning thee be blessed.' And she declareth to her  mother-in-law with whom she hath wrought, and saith, `The name  of the man with whom I have wrought to-day [is] Boaz.' 
08O 002:020 And Naomi saith to her daughter-in-law, `Blessed [is] he of  Jehovah who hath not forsaken His kindness with the living and  with the dead;' and Naomi saith to her, `The man is a relation  of ours; he [is] of our redeemers.' 
08O 002:021 And Ruth the Moabitess saith, `Also he surely said unto me,  Near the young people whom I have thou dost cleave till they  have completed the whole of the harvest which I have.' 
08O 002:022 And Naomi saith unto Ruth her daughter-in-law, `Good, my  daughter, that thou goest out with his young women, and they  come not against thee in another field.' 
08O 002:023 And she cleaveth to the young women of Boaz to glean, till  the completion of the barley-harvest, and of the wheat-harvest,  and she dwelleth with her mother-in-law. 
08O 003:001 And Naomi her mother-in-law saith to her, `My daughter, do  not I seek for thee rest, that it may be well with thee? 
08O 003:002 and now, is not Boaz of our acquaintance, with whose young  women thou hast been? lo, he is winnowing the threshing-floor  of barley to-night, 
08O 003:003 and thou hast bathed, and anointed thyself, and put thy  garments upon thee, and gone down to the threshing-floor; let  not thyself be known to the man till he complete to eat and to  drink; 
08O 003:004 and it cometh to pass when he lieth down, that thou hast  known the place where he lieth down, and hast gone in, and  uncovered his feet, and lain down, -- and he doth declare to thee  that which thou dost do.' 
08O 003:005 And she saith unto her, `All that thou sayest -- I do.' 
08O 003:006 And she goeth down [to] the threshing-floor, and doth  according to all that her mother-in-law commanded her 
08O 003:007 And Boaz eateth and drinketh, and his heart is glad; and he  goeth in to lie down at the end of the heap; and she cometh in  gently, and uncovereth his feet, and lieth down. 
08O 003:008 And it cometh to pass, at the middle of the night, that the  man trembleth, and turneth himself, and lo, a woman is lying at  his feet. 
08O 003:009 And he saith, `Who [art] thou?' and she saith, `I [am] Ruth  thy handmaid, and thou hast spread thy skirt over thy handmaid,  for thou [art] a redeemer.' 
08O 003:010 And he saith, `Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah, my daughter;  thou hast dealt more kindly at the latter end than at the  beginning -- not to go after the young men, either poor or rich. 
08O 003:011 And now, my daughter, fear not, all that thou sayest I do  to thee, for all the gate of my people doth know that thou  [art] a virtuous woman. 
08O 003:012 And now, surely, true, that I [am] a redeemer, but also  there is a redeemer nearer than I. 
08O 003:013 Lodge to night, and it hath been in the morning, if he doth  redeem thee, well: he redeemeth; and if he delight not to  redeem thee, then I have redeemed thee -- I; Jehovah liveth! lie  down till the morning.' 
08O 003:014 And she lieth down at his feet till the morning, and riseth  before one doth discern another; and he saith, `Let it not be  known that the woman hath come into the floor.' 
08O 003:015 And he saith, `Give the covering which [is] on thee, and  keep hold on it;' and she keepeth hold on it, and he measureth  six [measures] of barley, and layeth [it] on her; and he goeth  into the city. 
08O 003:016 And she cometh in unto her mother-in-law, and she saith,  `Who [art] thou, my daughter?' and she declareth to her all  that the man hath done to her. 
08O 003:017 And she saith, `These six [measures] of barley he hath  given to me, for he said, Thou dost not go in empty unto thy  mother-in-law.' 
08O 003:018 And she saith, `Sit still, my daughter, till thou dost know  how the matter falleth, for the man doth not rest except he  hath completed the matter to-day.' 
08O 004:001 And Boaz hath gone up to the gate, and sitteth there, and  lo, the redeemer is passing by of whom Boaz had spoken, and he  saith, `Turn aside, sit down here, such a one, such a one;' and  he turneth aside and sitteth down. 
08O 004:002 And he taketh ten men of the elders of the city, and saith,  `Sit down here;' and they sit down. 
08O 004:003 And he saith to the redeemer, `A portion of the field which  [is] to our brother, to Elimelech, hath Naomi sold, who hath  come back from the fields of Moab; 
08O 004:004 and I said, I uncover thine ear, saying, Buy before the  inhabitants, and before the elders of my people; if thou dost  redeem -- redeem, and if none doth redeem -- declare to me, and I  know, for there is none save thee to redeem, and I after thee.'  And he saith, I redeem [it].' 
08O 004:005 And Boaz saith, `In the day of thy buying the field from the  hand of Naomi, then from Ruth the Moabitess, wife of the dead,  thou hast bought [it], to raise up the name of the dead over  his inheritance.' 
08O 004:006 And the redeemer saith, `I am not able to redeem [it] for  myself, lest I destroy mine inheritance; redeem for  thyself -- thou -- my right of redemption, for I am not able to  redeem.' 
08O 004:007 And this [is] formerly in Israel for redemption and for  changing, to establish anything: a man hath drawn off his  sandal, and given [it] to his neighbour, and this [is] the  testimony in Israel. 
08O 004:008 And the redeemer saith to Boaz, `Buy [it] for thyself,' and  draweth off his sandal. 
08O 004:009 And Boaz saith to the elders, and [to] all the people,  `Witnesses [are] ye to-day that I have bought all that [is] to  Elimelech, and all that [is] to Chilion and Mahlon, from the  hand of Naomi; 
08O 004:010 and also Ruth the Moabitess, wife of Mahlon, I have bought  to myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead over his  inheritance; and the name of the dead is not cut off from among  his brethren, and from the gate of his place; witnesses ye  [are] to-day.' 
08O 004:011 And all the people who [are] in the gate say -- also the  elders -- `Witnesses! Jehovah make the woman who is coming in  unto thy house as Rachel and as Leah, both of whom built the  house of Israel; and do thou virtuously in Ephrathah, and  proclaim the Name in Beth-Lehem; 
08O 004:012 and let thy house be as the house of Pharez (whom Tamar  bare to Judah), of the seed which Jehovah doth give to thee of  this young woman.' 
08O 004:013 And Boaz taketh Ruth, and she becometh his wife, and he  goeth in unto her, and Jehovah giveth to her conception, and  she beareth a son. 
08O 004:014 And the women say unto Naomi, `Blessed [is] Jehovah who  hath not let a redeemer cease to thee to-day, and his name is  proclaimed in Israel, 
08O 004:015 and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a  nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath  loved thee -- who is better to thee than seven sons -- hath borne  him.' 
08O 004:016 And Naomi taketh the lad, and layeth him in her bosom, and  is to him for a nurse; 
08O 004:017 and the neighbouring women give to him a name, saying,  `There hath been a son born to Naomi,' and they call his name  Obed; he [is] father of Jesse, father of David. 
08O 004:018 And these are genealogies of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron, 
08O 004:019 and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminidab, 
08O 004:020 and Amminidab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon, 
08O 004:021 and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed, 
08O 004:022 and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.  
09O 001:001 And there is a certain man of Ramathaim-Zophim, of the  hill-country of Ephraim, and his name [is] Elkanah, son of  Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, and  Ephrathite, 
09O 001:002 and he hath two wives, the name of the one [is] Hannah, and  the name of the second Peninnah, and Peninnah hath children,  and Hannah hath no children. 
09O 001:003 And that man hath gone up out of his city from time to time,  to bow himself, and to sacrifice, before Jehovah of Hosts, in  Shiloh, and there [are] two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,  priests to Jehovah. 
09O 001:004 And the day cometh, and Elkanah sacrificeth, and he hath  given to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her  daughters, portions, 
09O 001:005 and to Hannah he giveth a certain portion -- double, for he  hath loved Hannah, and Jehovah hath shut her womb; 
09O 001:006 and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to  make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb. 
09O 001:007 And so he doth year by year, from the time of her going up  into the house of Jehovah, so it provoketh her, and she  weepeth, and doth not eat. 
09O 001:008 And Elkanah her husband saith to her, `Hannah, why weepest  thou? and why dost thou not eat? and why is thy heart  afflicted? am I not better to thee than ten sons?' 
09O 001:009 And Hannah riseth after eating in Shiloh, and after  drinking, and Eli the priest is sitting on the throne by the  side-post of the temple of Jehovah. 
09O 001:010 And she is bitter in soul, and prayeth unto Jehovah, and  weepeth greatly, 
09O 001:011 and voweth a vow, and saith, `Jehovah of Hosts, if Thou  dost certainly look on the affliction of Thy handmaid, and hast  remembered me, and dost not forget Thy handmaid, and hast given  to Thy handmaid seed of men -- then I have given him to Jehovah  all days of his life, and a razor doth not go up upon his  head.' 
09O 001:012 And it hath been, when she multiplied praying before  Jehovah, that Eli is watching her mouth, 
09O 001:013 and Hannah, she is speaking to her heart, only her lips are  moving, and her voice is not heard, and Eli reckoneth her to be  drunken. 
09O 001:014 And Eli saith unto her, `Until when are thou drunken? turn  aside thy wine from thee.' 
09O 001:015 And Hannah answereth and saith, `No, my lord, A woman  sharply pained in spirit I [am], and wine and strong drink I  have not drunk, and I pour out my soul before Jehovah; 
09O 001:016 put not thy handmaid before a daughter of worthlessness,  for from the abundance of my meditation, and of my provocation,  I have spoken hitherto.' 
09O 001:017 And Eli answereth and saith, `Go in peace, and the God of  Israel doth give thy petition which thou hast asked of Him.' 
09O 001:018 And she saith, `Let thy handmaid find grace in thine eyes;'  and the woman goeth on her way, and eateth, and her countenance  hath not been [sad] for it any more. 
09O 001:019 And they rise early in the morning, and bow themselves  before Jehovah, and turn back, and come in unto their house in  Ramah, and Elkanah knoweth Hannah his wife, and Jehovah  remembereth her; 
09O 001:020 and it cometh to pass, at the revolution of the days, that  Hannah conceiveth, and beareth a son, and calleth his name  Samuel, `for, from Jehovah I have asked him.' 
09O 001:021 And the man Elkanah goeth up, and all his house, to  sacrifice to Jehovah the sacrifice of the days, and his vow. 
09O 001:022 And Hannah hath not gone up, for she said to her husband,  `Till the youth is weaned -- then I have brought him in, and he  hath appeared before the face of Jehovah, and dwelt there -- unto  the age.' 
09O 001:023 And Elkanah her husband saith to her, `Do that which is  good in thine eyes; abide till thy weaning him; only, Jehovah  establish His word;' and the woman abideth and suckleth her son  till she hath weaned him, 
09O 001:024 and she causeth him to go up with her when she hath weaned  him, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle  of wine, and she bringeth him into the house of Jehovah at  Shiloh, and the youth [is but] a youth. 
09O 001:025 And they slaughter the bullock, and bring in the youth unto  Eli, 
09O 001:026 and she saith, `O, my lord, thy soul liveth! my lord, I  [am] the woman who stood with thee in this [place], to pray  unto Jehovah; 
09O 001:027 for this youth I prayed, and Jehovah doth give to me my  petition which I asked of Him; 
09O 001:028 and also I have caused him to be asked for Jehovah, all the  days that he hath lived -- he is asked for Jehovah;' and he  boweth himself there before Jehovah. 
09O 002:001 And Hannah prayeth, and saith: `My heart hath exulted in  Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been  large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced in Thy salvation. 
09O 002:002 There is none holy like Jehovah, For there is none save  Thee, And there is no rock like our God. 
09O 002:003 Ye multiply not -- ye speak haughtily -- The old saying goeth  out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge [is] Jehovah, And  by Him actions are weighed. 
09O 002:004 Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded  on strength. 
09O 002:005 The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have  ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding  with sons hath languished. 
09O 002:006 Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth  down to Sheol, and bringeth up. 
09O 002:007 Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low,  yea, He maketh high. 
09O 002:008 He raiseth from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth  up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne  of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah [are]  the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable  world. 
09O 002:009 The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in  darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty. 
09O 002:010 Jehovah -- broken down are His adversaries, Against them in  the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth,  And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth the horn of His  anointed.' 
09O 002:011 And Elkanah goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth  hath been serving Jehovah, [in] the presence of Eli the priest; 
09O 002:012 and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have  not known Jehovah. 
09O 002:013 And the custom of the priests with the people [is]: any man  sacrificing a sacrifice -- then hath the servant of the priest  come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth  in his hand, 
09O 002:014 and hath struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron,  or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for  himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there,  in Shiloh. 
09O 002:015 Also before they make perfume with the fat -- then hath the  priest's servant come in, and said to the man who is  sacrificing, `Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth  not take of thee flesh boiled, but raw;' 
09O 002:016 and the man saith unto him, `Let them surely make a perfume  (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul  desireth;' and he hath said to him, `Surely now thou dost give;  and if not -- I have taken by strength.' 
09O 002:017 And the sin of the young men is very great [in] the  presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of  Jehovah. 
09O 002:018 And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of Jehovah, a  youth girt [with] an ephod of linen; 
09O 002:019 and a small upper coat doth his mother make to him, and she  hath brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up  with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time. 
09O 002:020 And Eli blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, `Jehovah  doth appoint for thee seed of this woman, for the petition  which she asked for Jehovah;' and they have gone to their  place. 
09O 002:021 When Jehovah hath looked after Hannah, then she conceiveth  and beareth three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel  groweth up with Jehovah. 
09O 002:022 And Eli [is] very old, and hath heard all that his sons do  to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are  assembling [at] the opening of the tent of meeting, 
09O 002:023 and he saith to them, `Why do ye things like these? for I  am hearing of your evil words from all the people -- these! 
09O 002:024 Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good  causing the people of Jehovah to transgress. -- 
09O 002:025 If a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but  if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they  hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath  delighted to put them to death. 
09O 002:026 And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is]  good both with Jehovah, and also with men. 
09O 002:027 And there cometh a man of God unto Eli, and saith unto him,  `Thus said Jehovah, Was I really revealed unto the house of thy  father in their being in Egypt, before Pharaoh's house, 
09O 002:028 even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me  for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to  bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of thy father  all the fire-offerings of the sons of Israel? 
09O 002:029 Why do ye kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which  I commanded [in] My habitation, and dost honour thy sons above  Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every  offering of Israel, of My people? 
09O 002:030 `Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I  certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk  up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of  Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I  honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed. 
09O 002:031 `Lo, days [are] coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and  the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not in  thy house; 
09O 002:032 and thou hast beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in  all that He doth good with Israel, and there is not an old man  in thy house all the days. 
09O 002:033 `And the man I cut not off of thine from Mine altar, [is]  to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy soul; and all the  increase of thy house do die men; 
09O 002:034 and this [is] to thee the sign that cometh unto thy two  sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas -- in one day they die both of  them; 
09O 002:035 and I have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My  heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a  stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine  anointed all the days; 
09O 002:036 and it hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth  come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake  of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the  priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.' 
09O 003:001 And the youth Samuel is serving Jehovah before Eli, and the  word of Jehovah hath been precious in those days -- there is no  vision broken forth. 
09O 003:002 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Eli is lying down  in his place, and his eyes have begun to be dim -- he is not able  to see. 
09O 003:003 And the lamp of God is not yet extinguished, and Samuel is  lying down in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of God [is], 
09O 003:004 and Jehovah calleth unto Samuel, and he saith, `Here [am]  I.' 
09O 003:005 And he runneth unto Eli, and saith, `Here [am] I, for thou  hast called for me;' and he saith, `I called not; turn back,  lie down;' and he goeth and lieth down. 
09O 003:006 And Jehovah addeth to call again Samuel, and Samuel riseth  and goeth unto Eli, and saith, `Here [am] I, for thou hast  called for me;' and he saith, `I have not called, my son, turn  back, lie down.' 
09O 003:007 And Samuel hath not yet known Jehovah, and the word of  Jehovah is not yet revealed unto him. 
09O 003:008 And Jehovah addeth to call Samuel the third time, and he  riseth and goeth unto Eli, and saith, `Here [am] I, for thou  hast called for me;' and Eli understandeth that Jehovah is  calling to the youth. 
09O 003:009 And Eli saith to Samuel, `Go, lie down, and it hath been, if  He doth call unto thee, that thou hast said, Speak, Jehovah,  for Thy servant is hearing;' and Samuel goeth and lieth down in  his place. 
09O 003:010 And Jehovah cometh, and stationeth Himself, and calleth as  time by time, `Samuel, Samuel;' and Samuel saith, `Speak, for  Thy servant if hearing.' 
09O 003:011 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Lo, I am doing a thing in  Israel, at which the two ears of every one hearing it do  tingle. 
09O 003:012 In that day I establish unto Eli all that I have spoken  unto his house, beginning and completing; 
09O 003:013 and I have declared to him that I am judging his house -- to  the age, for the iniquity which he hath known, for his sons are  making themselves vile, and he hath not restrained them, 
09O 003:014 and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the  iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice,  and by offering -- unto the age.' 
09O 003:015 And Samuel lieth till the morning, and openeth the doors of  the house of Jehovah, and Samuel is afraid of declaring the  vision unto Eli. 
09O 003:016 And Eli calleth Samuel, and saith, `Samuel, my son;' and he  saith, `Here [am] I.' 
09O 003:017 And he saith, `What [is] the word which He hath spoken unto  thee? I pray thee, hide it not from me; so doth God do to  thee, and so doth He add, if thou hidest from me a word of all  the words that He hath spoken unto thee.' 
09O 003:018 And Samuel declareth to him the whole of the words, and  hath not hid from him; and he saith, `It [is] Jehovah; that  which is good in His eyes He doth.' 
09O 003:019 And Samuel groweth up, and Jehovah hath been with him, and  hath not let fall any of his words to the earth; 
09O 003:020 and all Israel know, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, that  Samuel is established for a prophet to Jehovah. 
09O 003:021 And Jehovah addeth to appear in Shiloh, for Jehovah hath  been revealed unto Samuel, in Shiloh, by the word of Jehovah. 
09O 004:001 And the word of Samuel is to all Israel, and Israel goeth  out to meet the Philistines for battle, and they encamp by  Eben-Ezer, and the Philistines have encamped in Aphek, 
09O 004:002 and the Philistines set themselves in array to meet Israel,  and the battle spreadeth itself, and Israel is smitten before  the Philistines, and they smite among the ranks in the field  about four thousand men. 
09O 004:003 And the people cometh in unto the camp, and the elders of  Israel say, `Why hath Jehovah smitten us to-day before the  Philistines? we take unto us from Shiloh the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah, and it cometh into our midst, and He doth  save us out of the hand of our enemies.' 
09O 004:004 And the people sendeth to Shiloh, and they take up thence  the ark of the covenant of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the  cherubs, and there [are] two sons of Eli, with the ark of the  covenant of God, Hophni and Phinehas. 
09O 004:005 And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah unto the camp, that all Israel shout -- a  great shout -- and the earth is moved. 
09O 004:006 And the Philistines hear the noise of the shouting, and say,  `What [is] the noise of this great shout in the camp of the  Hebrews?' and they perceive that the ark of Jehovah hath come  in unto the camp. 
09O 004:007 And the Philistines are afraid, for they said, `God hath  come in unto the camp;' and they say, `Wo to us, for there hath  not been like this heretofore. 
09O 004:008 Wo to us, who doth deliver us out of the hand of these  honourable gods? these [are] the gods who are smiting the  Egyptians with every plague in the wilderness. 
09O 004:009 Strengthen yourselves, and become men, O Philistines, lest  ye do service to Hebrews, as they have done to you -- then ye  have become men, and have fought.' 
09O 004:010 And the Philistines fight, and Israel is smitten, and they  flee each to his tents, and the blow is very great, and there  fall of Israel thirty thousand footmen; 
09O 004:011 and the ark of God hath been taken, and the two sons of Eli  have died, Hophni and Phinehas. 
09O 004:012 And a man of Benjamin runneth out of the ranks, and cometh  into Shiloh, on that day, and his long robes [are] rent, and  earth on his head; 
09O 004:013 and he cometh in, and lo, Eli is sitting on the throne by  the side of the way, watching, for his heart hath been  trembling for the ark of God, and the man hath come in to  declare [it] in the city, and all the city crieth out. 
09O 004:014 And Eli heareth the noise of the cry, and saith,  `What -- the noise of this tumult!' And the man hasted, and  cometh in, and declareth to Eli. 
09O 004:015 And Eli is a son of ninety and eight years, and his eyes  have stood, and he hath not been able to see. 
09O 004:016 And the man saith unto Eli, `I [am] he who hath come out of  the ranks, and I out of the ranks have fled to-day;' and he  saith, `What hath been the matter, my son?' 
09O 004:017 And he who is bearing tidings answereth and saith, `Israel  hath fled before the Philistines, and also a great slaughter  hath been among the people, and also thy two sons have  died -- Hophni and Phinehas -- and the ark of God hath been  captured.' 
09O 004:018 And it cometh to pass, at his mentioning the ark of God,  that he falleth from off the throne backward, by the side of  the gate, and his neck is broken, and he dieth, for the man  [is] old and heavy, and he hath judged Israel forty years. 
09O 004:019 And his daughter-in-law, wife of Phinehas, [is] pregnant,  about to bear, and she heareth the report of the taking of the  ark of God, that her father-in-law and her husband have died,  and she boweth, and beareth, for her pains have turned upon  her. 
09O 004:020 And at the time of her death, when the women who are  standing by her say, `Fear not, for a son thou hast borne,' she  hath not answered, nor set her heart [to it]; 
09O 004:021 and she calleth the youth I-Chabod, saying, `Honour hath  removed from Israel,' because of the taking of the ark of God,  and because of her father-in-law and her husband. 
09O 004:022 And she saith, `Honour hath removed from Israel, for the  ark of God hath been taken.' 
09O 005:001 And the Philistines have taken the ark of God, and bring it  in from Eben-Ezer to Ashdod, 
09O 005:002 and the Philistines take the ark of God and bring it into  the house of Dagon, and set it near Dagon. 
09O 005:003 And the Ashdodites rise early on the morrow, and lo, Dagon  is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of Jehovah;  and they take Dagon, and put it back to its place. 
09O 005:004 And they rise early in the morning on the morrow, and lo,  Dagon is fallen on its face to the earth, before the ark of  Jehovah, and the head of Dagon, and the two palms of its hands  are cut off at the threshold, only the fishy part hath been  left to him; 
09O 005:005 therefore the priests of Dagon, and all those coming into  the house of Dagon, tread not on the threshold of Dagon, in  Ashdod, till this day. 
09O 005:006 And the hand of Jehovah is heavy on the Ashdodites, and He  maketh them desolate, and smiteth them with emerods, Ashdod and  its borders. 
09O 005:007 And the men of Ashdod see that [it is] so, and have said,  `The ark of the God of Israel doth not abide with us, for hard  hath been His hand upon us, and upon Dagon our god.' 
09O 005:008 And they send and gather all the princes of the Philistines  unto them, and say, `What do we do to the ark of the God of  Israel?' and they say, `To Gath let the ark of the God of  Israel be brought round;' and they bring round the ark of the  God of Israel; 
09O 005:009 and it cometh to pass after they have brought it round, that  the hand of Jehovah is against the city -- a very great  destruction; and He smiteth the men of the city, from small  even unto great; and break forth on them do emerods. 
09O 005:010 And they send the ark of God to Ekron, and it cometh to  pass, at the coming in of the ark of God to Ekron, that the  Ekronites cry out, saying, `They have brought round unto us the  ark of the God of Israel, to put us to death -- and our people.' 
09O 005:011 And they send and gather all the princes of the  Philistines, and say, `Send away the ark of the God of Israel,  and it turneth back to its place, and it doth not put us to  death -- and our people;' for there hath been a deadly  destruction throughout all the city, very heavy hath the hand  of God been there, 
09O 005:012 and the men who have not died have been smitten with  emerods, and the cry of the city goeth up into the heavens. 
09O 006:001 And the ark of Jehovah is in the field of the Philistines  seven months, 
09O 006:002 and the Philistines call for priests and for diviners,  saying, `What do we do to the ark of Jehovah? let us know  wherewith we send it to its place?' 
09O 006:003 And they say, `If ye are sending away the ark of the God of  Israel, ye do not send it away empty; for ye do certainly send  back to Him a guilt-offering; then ye are healed, and it hath  been known to you why His hand doth not turn aside from you.' 
09O 006:004 And they say, `What [is] the guilt-offering which we send  back to Him?' and they say, `The number of the princes of the  Philistines -- five golden emerods, and five golden mice -- for one  plague [is] to you all, and to your princes, 
09O 006:005 and ye have made images of your emerods, and images of your  mice that are corrupting the land, and have given honour to the  God of Israel; it may be He doth lighten His hand from off you,  and from off your gods, and from off your land; 
09O 006:006 and why do ye harden your heart as the Egyptians and Pharaoh  hardened their heart? do they not -- when He hath rolled Himself  upon them -- send them away, and they go? 
09O 006:007 `And now, take and make one new cart, and two suckling kine,  on which a yoke hath not gone up, and ye have bound the kine in  the cart, and caused their young ones to turn back from after  them to the house, 
09O 006:008 and ye have taken the ark of Jehovah, and put it on the  cart, and the vessels of gold which ye have returned to Him -- a  guilt-offering -- ye put in a coffer on its side, and have sent  it away, and it hath gone; 
09O 006:009 and ye have seen, if the way of its own border it goeth up  to Beth-Shemesh -- He hath done to us this great evil; and if  not, then we have known that His hand hath not come against us;  an accident it hath been to us.' 
09O 006:010 And the men do so, and take two suckling kine, and bind  them in the cart, and their young ones they have shut up in the  house; 
09O 006:011 and they place the ark of Jehovah upon the cart, and the  coffer, and the golden mice, and the images of their emerods. 
09O 006:012 And the kine go straight in the way, on the way to  Beth-Shemesh, in one highway they have gone, going and lowing,  and have not turned aside right or left; and the princes of the  Philistines are going after them unto the border of  Beth-Shemesh. 
09O 006:013 And the Beth-Shemeshites are reaping their wheat-harvest in  the valley, and they lift up their eyes, and see the ark, and  rejoice to see [it]. 
09O 006:014 And the cart hath come in unto the field of Joshua the  Beth-Shemeshite, and standeth there, and there [is] a great  stone, and they cleave the wood of the cart, and the kine they  have caused to ascend -- a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 
09O 006:015 And the Levites have taken down the ark of Jehovah, and the  coffer which [is] with it, in which [are] the vessels of gold,  and place [them] on the great stone; and the men of  Beth-Shemesh have caused to ascend burnt-offerings and  sacrifice sacrifices in that day to Jehovah; 
09O 006:016 and the five princes of the Philistines have seen [it], and  turn back [to] Ekron, on that day. 
09O 006:017 And these [are] the golden emerods which the Philistines  have sent back -- a guilt-offering to Jehovah: for Ashdod one,  for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one; 
09O 006:018 and the golden mice -- the number of all the cities of the  Philistines -- for the five princes, from the fenced city even  unto the hamlet of the villages, even unto the great meadow on  which they placed the ark of Jehovah -- [are] unto this day in  the field of Joshua the Beth-Shemeshite. 
09O 006:019 And He smiteth among the men of Beth-Shemesh, for they  looked into the ark of Jehovah, yea, He smiteth among the  people seventy men -- fifty chief men; and the people mourn,  because Jehovah smote among the people -- a great smiting. 
09O 006:020 And the men of Beth-Shemesh say, `Who is able to stand  before Jehovah, this holy God? and unto whom doth He go up from  us?' 
09O 006:021 And they send messengers unto the inhabitants of  Kirjath-Jearim, saying, `The Philistines have sent back the  ark of Jehovah; come down, take it up unto you.' 
09O 007:001 And the men of Kirjath-Jearim come and bring up the ark of  Jehovah, and bring it in unto the house of Abinadab, in the  height, and Eleazar his son they have sanctified to keep the  ark of Jehovah. 
09O 007:002 And it cometh to pass, from the day of the dwelling of the  ark in Kirjath-Jearim, that the days are multiplied -- yea, they  are twenty years -- and wail do all the house of Israel after  Jehovah. 
09O 007:003 And Samuel speaketh unto all the house of Israel, saying,  `If with all your heart ye are turning back unto Jehovah -- turn  aside the gods of the stranger from your midst, and Ashtaroth;  and prepare your heart unto Jehovah, and serve Him only, and He  doth deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.' 
09O 007:004 And the sons of Israel turn aside the Baalim and Ashtaroth,  and serve Jehovah alone; 
09O 007:005 and Samuel saith, `Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I pray  for you unto Jehovah.' 
09O 007:006 And they are gathered to Mizpeh, and draw water, and pour  out before Jehovah, and fast on that day, and say there, `We  have sinned against Jehovah;' and Samuel judgeth the sons of  Israel in Mizpeh. 
09O 007:007 And the Philistines hear that the sons of Israel have  gathered themselves to Mizpeh; and the princes of the  Philistines go up against Israel, and the sons of Israel hear,  and are afraid of the presence of the Philistines. 
09O 007:008 And the sons of Israel say unto Samuel, `Keep not silent for  us from crying unto Jehovah our God, and He doth save us out of  the hand of the Philistines.' 
09O 007:009 And Samuel taketh a fat lamb, and causeth it to go up -- a  burnt-offering whole to Jehovah; and Samuel crieth unto Jehovah  for Israel, and Jehovah answereth him; 
09O 007:010 and Samuel is causing the burnt-offering to go up -- and the  Philistines have drawn nigh to battle against Israel -- and  Jehovah doth thunder with a great noise, on that day, upon the  Philistines, and troubleth them, and they are smitten before  Israel. 
09O 007:011 And the men of Israel go out from Mizpeh, and pursue the  Philistines, and smite them unto the place of Beth-Car. 
09O 007:012 And Samuel taketh a stone, and setteth [it] between Mizpeh  and Shen, and calleth its name Eben-Ezer, saying, `Hitherto  hath Jehovah helped us.' 
09O 007:013 And the Philistines are humbled, and have not added any  more to come into the border of Israel, and the hand of Jehovah  is on the Philistines all the days of Samuel. 
09O 007:014 And the cities which the Philistines have taken from Israel  are restored to Israel -- from Ekron even unto Gath -- and their  border hath Israel delivered out of the hand of the  Philistines; and there is peace between Israel and the Amorite. 
09O 007:015 And Samuel judgeth Israel all the days of his life, 
09O 007:016 and he hath gone from year to year, and gone round Beth-El,  and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel [in] all these  places; 
09O 007:017 and his returning [is] to Ramath, for there [is] his  house, and there he hath judged Israel, and he buildeth there  an altar to Jehovah. 
09O 008:001 And it cometh to pass, when Samuel [is] aged, that he maketh  his sons judges over Israel. 
09O 008:002 And the name of his first-born son is Joel, and the name of  his second Abiah, judges in Beer-Sheba: 
09O 008:003 and his sons have not walked in his ways, and turn aside  after the dishonest gain, and take a bribe, and turn aside  judgment. 
09O 008:004 And all the elders of Israel gather themselves together, and  come in unto Samuel to Ramath, 
09O 008:005 and say unto him, `Lo, thou hast become aged, and thy sons  have not walked in thy ways; now, appoint to us a king, to  judge us, like all the nations.' 
09O 008:006 And the thing is evil in the eyes of Samuel, when they have  said, `Give to us a king to judge us;' and Samuel prayeth unto  Jehovah. 
09O 008:007 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Hearken to the voice of the  people, to all that they say unto thee, for thee they have not  rejected, but Me they have rejected, from reigning over them. 
09O 008:008 According to all the works that they have done from the day  of My bringing them up out of Egypt, even unto this day, when  they forsake Me, and serve other gods -- so they are doing also  to thee. 
09O 008:009 And now, hearken to their voice; only, surely thou dost  certainly protest to them, and hast declared to them the custom  of the king who doth reign over them.' 
09O 008:010 And Samuel speaketh all the words of Jehovah unto the  people who are asking from him a king, 
09O 008:011 and saith, `This is the custom of the king who doth reign  over you: Your sons he doth take, and hath appointed for  himself among his chariots, and among his horsemen, and they  have run before his chariots; 
09O 008:012 also to appoint for himself heads of thousands, and heads  of fifties; also to plow his plowing, and to reap his reaping;  and to make instruments of his war, and instruments of his  charioteer. 
09O 008:013 `And your daughters he doth take for perfumers, and for  cooks, and for bakers; 
09O 008:014 and your fields, and your vineyards, and your  olive-yards -- the best -- he doth take, and hath given to his  servants. 
09O 008:015 And your seed and your vineyards he doth tithe, and hath  given to his eunuchs, and to his servants. 
09O 008:016 And your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and your  young men -- the best, and your asses, he doth take, and hath  prepared for his own work; 
09O 008:017 your flock he doth tithe, and ye are to him for servants. 
09O 008:018 And ye have cried out in that day because of the king whom  ye have chosen for yourselves, and Jehovah doth not answer you  in that day.' 
09O 008:019 And the people refuse to hearken to the voice of Samuel,  and say, `Nay, but a king is over us, 
09O 008:020 and we have been, even we, like all the nations; and our  king hath judged us, and gone out before us, and fought our  battles.' 
09O 008:021 And Samuel heareth all the words of the people, and  speaketh them in the ears of Jehovah; 
09O 008:022 and Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Hearken to their voice,  and thou hast caused to reign over them a king.' And Samuel  saith unto the men of Israel, `Go ye each to his city.' 
09O 009:001 And there is a man of Benjamin, and his name [is] Kish, son  of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, a  Benjamite, mighty of valour, 
09O 009:002 and he hath a son, and his name [is] Saul, a choice youth  and goodly, and there is not a man among the sons of Israel  goodlier than he -- from his shoulder and upward, higher than any  of the people. 
09O 009:003 And the asses of Kish, father of Saul, are lost, and Kish  saith unto Saul his son, `Take, I pray thee, with thee, one of  the young men, and rise, go, seek the asses.' 
09O 009:004 And he passeth over through the hill-country of Ephraim, and  passeth over through the land of Shalisha, and they have not  found; and they pass over through the land of Shaalim, and they  are not; and he passeth over through the land of Benjamin, and  they have not found. 
09O 009:005 They have come in unto the land of Zuph, and Saul hath said  to his young man who [is] with him, `Come, and we turn back,  lest my father leave off from the asses, and hath been  sorrowful for us.' 
09O 009:006 And he saith to him, `Lo, I pray thee, a man of God [is] in  this city, and the man is honoured; all that he speaketh doth  certainly come; now, we go there, it may be he doth declare to  us our way on which we have gone.' 
09O 009:007 And Saul saith to his young man, `And lo, we go, and what do  we bring in to the man? for the bread hath gone from our  vessels, and a present there is not to bring in to the man of  God -- what [is] with us?' 
09O 009:008 And the young man addeth to answer Saul, and saith, `Lo,  there is found with me a fourth of a shekel of silver: and I  have given to the man of God, and he hath declared to us our  way.' 
09O 009:009 Formerly in Israel, thus said the man in his going to seek  God, `Come and we go unto the seer,' for the `prophet' of  to-day is called formerly `the seer.' 
09O 009:010 And Saul saith to his young man, `Thy word [is] good; come,  we go;' and they go unto the city where the man of God [is]. 
09O 009:011 They are going up in the ascent of the city, and have found  young women going out to draw water, and say to them, `Is the  seer in this [place]?' 
09O 009:012 And they answer them and say, `He is; lo, before thee!  haste, now, for to-day he hath come in to the city, for the  people hath a stated sacrifice in a high place. 
09O 009:013 At your going in to the city so ye do find him, before he  doth go up in to the high place to eat; for the people do not  eat till his coming, for he doth bless the sacrifice;  afterwards they eat, who are called, and now, go up, for at  this time ye find him.' 
09O 009:014 And they go up in to the city; they are coming in to the  midst of the city, and lo, Samuel is coming out to meet them,  to go up to the high place; 
09O 009:015 and Jehovah had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before  the coming of Saul, saying, 
09O 009:016 `At this time tomorrow, I send unto thee a man out of the  land of Benjamin -- and thou hast anointed him for leader over My  people Israel, and he hath saved My people out of the hand of  the Philistines; for I have seen My people, for its cry hath  come in unto Me.' 
09O 009:017 When Samuel hath seen Saul, then hath Jehovah answered him,  `Lo, the man of whom I have spoken unto thee; this [one] doth  restrain My people.' 
09O 009:018 And Saul draweth nigh to Samuel in the midst of the gate,  and saith, `Declare, I pray thee, to me, where [is] this -- the  seer's house?' 
09O 009:019 And Samuel answereth Saul and saith, `I [am] the seer; go  up before me into the high place, and ye have eaten with me  to-day, and I have sent thee away in the morning, and all that  [is] in thy heart I declare to thee. 
09O 009:020 As to the asses which are lost to thee this day three days,  set not thy heart to them, for they have been found; and to  whom [is] all the desire of Israel?' is it not to thee and to  all thy father's house?' 
09O 009:021 And Saul answereth and saith, `Am not I a Benjamite -- of the  smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of  all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? and why hast thou  spoken unto me according to this word?' 
09O 009:022 And Samuel taketh Saul, and his young man, and bringeth  them in to the chamber, and giveth to them a place at the head  of those called; and they [are] about thirty men. 
09O 009:023 And Samuel saith to the cook, `Give the portion which I  gave to thee, of which I said unto thee, `Set it by thee?' 
09O 009:024 (and the cook lifteth up the leg, and that which [is] on  it, and setteth before Saul), and he saith, `Lo, that which is  left; set [it] before thee -- eat, for to this appointed season  it is kept for thee, saying, The people I have called;' and  Saul eateth with Samuel on that day. 
09O 009:025 And they come down from the high place to the city, and he  speaketh with Saul on the roof. 
09O 009:026 And they rise early, and it cometh to pass, at the  ascending of the dawn, that Samuel calleth unto Saul, on the  roof, saying, `Rise, and I send thee away;' and Saul riseth,  and they go out, both of them -- he and Samuel, without. 
09O 009:027 They are going down in the extremity of the city, and  Samuel hath said unto Saul, `Say to the young man that he pass  on before us (and he passeth on), and thou, stand at this time,  and I cause thee to hear the word of God.' 
09O 010:001 And Samuel taketh the vial of the oil, and poureth on his  head, and kisseth him, and saith, `Is it not because Jehovah  hath appointed thee over His inheritance for leader? 
09O 010:002 In thy going to-day from me -- then thou hast found two men  by the grave of Rachel, in the border of Benjamin, at Zelzah,  and they have said unto thee, The asses have been found which  thou hast gone to seek; and lo, thy father hath left the matter  of the asses, and hath sorrowed for you, saying, What do I do  for my son? 
09O 010:003 `And thou hast passed on thence, and beyond, and hast come  in unto the oak of Tabor, and found thee there have three men  going up unto God to Beth-El, one bearing three kids, and one  bearing three cakes of bread, and one bearing a bottle of wine, 
09O 010:004 and they have asked of thee of welfare, and given to thee  two loaves, and thou hast received from their hand. 
09O 010:005 `Afterwards thou dost come unto the hill of God, where the  garrison of the Philistines [is], and it cometh to pass, at thy  coming in thither to the city, that thou hast met a band of  prophets coming down from the high place, and before them  psaltery, and tabret, and pipe, and harp, and they are  prophesying; 
09O 010:006 and prospered over thee hath the Spirit of Jehovah, and  thou hast prophesied with them, and hast been turned to another  man; 
09O 010:007 and it hath been, when these signs come to thee -- do for  thyself as thy hand findeth, for God [is] with thee. 
09O 010:008 `And thou hast gone down before me to Gilgal, and lo, I am  going down unto thee, to cause to ascend burnt-offerings, to  sacrifice sacrifices of peace-offerings; seven days thou dost  wait till my coming in unto thee, and I have made known to thee  that which thou dost do.' 
09O 010:009 And it hath been, at his turning his shoulder to go from  Samuel, that God turneth to him another heart, and all these  signs come on that day, 
09O 010:010 and they come in thither to the height, and lo, a band of  prophets -- to meet him, and prosper over him doth the Spirit of  God, and he prophesieth in their midst. 
09O 010:011 And it cometh to pass, all his acquaintance heretofore,  see, and lo, with prophets he hath prophesied, and the people  say one unto another, `What [is] this hath happened to the son  of Kish? is Saul also among the prophets?' 
09O 010:012 And a man thence answereth and saith, `And who [is] their  father?' therefore it hath been for a simile, `Is Saul also  among the prophets?' 
09O 010:013 And he ceaseth from prophesying, and cometh in to the high  place, 
09O 010:014 and the uncle of Saul saith unto him, and unto his young  man, `Whither went ye?' and he saith, `To seek the asses; and  we see that they are not, and we come in unto Samuel.' 
09O 010:015 And the uncle of Saul saith, `Declare, I pray thee, to me,  what Samuel said to you?' 
09O 010:016 And Saul saith unto his uncle, `He certainly declared to  us that the asses were found;' and of the matter of the kingdom  he hath not declared to him that which Samuel said. 
09O 010:017 And Samuel calleth the people unto Jehovah to Mizpeh, 
09O 010:018 and saith unto the sons of Israel, `Thus said Jehovah, God  of Israel, I have brought up Israel out of Egypt, and I deliver  you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of  all the kingdoms who are oppressing you; 
09O 010:019 and ye to-day have rejected your God, who [is] Himself  your saviour out of all your evils and your distresses, and ye  say, `Nay, but -- a king thou dost set over us; and now, station  yourselves before Jehovah, by your tribes, and by your  thousands.' 
09O 010:020 And Samuel bringeth near the whole tribes of Israel, and  the tribe of Benjamin is captured, 
09O 010:021 and he bringeth near the tribe of Benjamin by its  families, and the family of Matri is captured, and Saul son of  Kish is captured, and they seek him, and he hath not been  found. 
09O 010:022 And they ask again at Jehovah, `Hath the man yet come  hither?' and Jehovah saith, `Lo, he hath been hidden near the  vessels.' 
09O 010:023 And they run and bring him thence, and he stationed  himself in the midst of the people, and he is higher than any  of the people from his shoulder and upward. 
09O 010:024 And Samuel saith unto all the people, `Have ye seen him on  whom Jehovah hath fixed, for there is none like him among all  the people?' And all the people shout, and say, `Let the king  live!' 
09O 010:025 And Samuel speaketh unto the people the right of the  kingdom, and writeth in a book, and placeth before Jehovah; and  Samuel sendeth all the people away, each to his house. 
09O 010:026 And also Saul hath gone to his house, to Gibeah, and the  force go with him whose heart God hath touched; 
09O 010:027 and the sons of worthlessness have said, `What! this one  doth save us!' and they despise him, and have not brought to  him a present; and he is as one deaf. 
09O 011:001 And Nahash the Ammonite cometh up, and encampeth against  Jabesh-Gilead, and all the men of Jabesh say unto Nahash, `Make  with us a covenant, and we serve thee.' 
09O 011:002 And Nahash the Ammonite saith unto them, `For this I  covenant with you, by picking out to you every right eye -- and  I have put it a reproach on all Israel.' 
09O 011:003 And the elders of Jabesh say to him, `Let us alone seven  days, and we send messengers into all the border of Israel: and  if there is none saving us -- then we have come out unto thee.' 
09O 011:004 And the messengers come to Gibeah of Saul, and speak the  words in the ears of the people, and all the people lift up  their voice and weep; 
09O 011:005 and lo, Saul hath come after the herd out of the field, and  Saul saith, `What -- to the people, that they weep?' and they  recount to him the words of the men of Jabesh. 
09O 011:006 And the Spirit of God doth prosper over Saul, in his  hearing these words, and his anger burneth greatly, 
09O 011:007 and he taketh a couple of oxen, and cutteth them in pieces,  and sendeth through all the border of Israel, by the hand of  the messengers, saying, `He who is not coming out after Saul  and after Samuel -- thus it is done to his oxen;' and the fear of  Jehovah falleth on the people, and they come out as one man. 
09O 011:008 And he inspecteth them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel are  three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand. 
09O 011:009 And they say to the messengers who are coming, `Thus do ye  say to the men of Jabesh-Gilead: To-morrow ye have safety -- by  the heat of the sun;' and the messengers come and declare to  the men of Jabesh, and they rejoice; 
09O 011:010 and the men of Jabesh say [to the Ammonites], `To-morrow  we come out unto you, and ye have done to us according to all  that [is] good in your eyes.' 
09O 011:011 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that Saul putteth  the people in three detachments, and they come into the midst  of the camp in the morning-watch, and smite Ammon till the heat  of the day; and it cometh to pass that those left are  scattered, and there have not been left of them two together. 
09O 011:012 And the people say unto Samuel, `Who is he that saith,  Saul doth reign over us! give ye up the men, and we put them  to death.' 
09O 011:013 And Saul saith, `There is no man put to death on this day,  for to-day hath Jehovah wrought salvation in Israel.' 
09O 011:014 And Samuel saith unto the people, `Come and we go to  Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there;' 
09O 011:015 and all the people go to Gilgal, and cause Saul to reign  there before Jehovah in Gilgal, and sacrifice there sacrifices  of peace-offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul  rejoiceth -- and all the men of Israel -- very greatly. 
09O 012:001 And Samuel saith unto all Israel, `Lo, I have hearkened to  your voice, to all that ye said to me, and I cause to reign over  you a king, 
09O 012:002 and now, lo, the king is walking habitually before you, and  I have become aged and gray-headed, and my sons, lo, they [are]  with you, and I have walked habitually before you from my youth  till this day. 
09O 012:003 `Lo, here [am] I; testify against me, over-against Jehovah,  and over-against His anointed; whose ox have I taken, and whose  ass have I taken, and whom have I oppressed; whom have I  bruised, and of whose hand have I taken a ransom, and hide mine  eyes with it? -- and I restore to you.' 
09O 012:004 And they say, `Thou hast not oppressed us, nor hast thou  crushed us, nor hast thou taken from the hand of any one anything.' 
09O 012:005 And he saith unto them, `A witness [is] Jehovah against  you: and a witness [is] His anointed this day, that ye have not  found anything in my hand;' and they say, `A witness.' 
09O 012:006 And Samuel saith unto the people, `Jehovah -- He who made  Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your fathers out of the  land of Egypt! 
09O 012:007 and, now, station yourselves, and I judge you before  Jehovah, with all the righteous acts of Jehovah, which He did  with you, and with your fathers. 
09O 012:008 `When Jacob hath come in to Egypt, and your fathers cry  unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sendeth Moses and Aaron, and they  bring out your fathers from Egypt, and cause them to dwell in  this place, 
09O 012:009 and they forget Jehovah their God, and He selleth them into  the hand of Sisera, head of the host of Hazor, and into the  hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab,  and they fight against them, 
09O 012:010 and they cry unto Jehovah, and say, We have sinned,  because we have forsaken Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and  Ashtaroth, and now, deliver us out of the hand of our enemies,  and we serve Thee. 
09O 012:011 `And Jehovah sendeth Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah,  and Samuel, and delivereth you out of the hand of your enemies  round about, and ye dwell confidently. 
09O 012:012 `And ye see that Nahash king of the Bene-Ammon hath come  against you, and ye say to me, Nay, but a king doth reign over  us; and Jehovah your God [is] your king! 
09O 012:013 And, now, lo, the king whom ye have chosen -- whom ye have  asked! and lo, Jehovah hath placed over you a king. 
09O 012:014 `If ye fear Jehovah, and have served Him, and hearkened to  His voice, then ye do not provoke the mouth of Jehovah, and ye  have been -- both ye and the king who hath reigned over you --  after Jehovah your God. 
09O 012:015 `And if ye do not hearken to the voice of Jehovah -- then ye  have provoked the mouth of Jehovah, and the hand of Jehovah  hath been against you, and against your fathers. 
09O 012:016 `Also now, station yourselves and see this great thing  which Jehovah is doing before your eyes; 
09O 012:017 is it not wheat-harvest to-day? I call unto Jehovah, and  He doth give voices and rain; and know ye and see that your  evil is great which ye have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask  for you a king.' 
09O 012:018 And Samuel calleth unto Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth voices  and rain, on that day, and all the people greatly fear Jehovah  and Samuel; 
09O 012:019 and all the people say unto Samuel, `Pray for thy servants  unto Jehovah thy God, and we do not die, for we have added to  all our sins evil to ask for us a king.' 
09O 012:020 And Samuel saith unto the people, `Fear not; ye have done  all this evil; only, turn not aside from after Jehovah -- and ye  have served Jehovah with all your heart, 
09O 012:021 and ye do not turn aside after the vain things which do  not profit nor deliver, for they [are] vain, 
09O 012:022 for Jehovah doth not leave His people, on account of His  great name; for Jehovah hath been pleased to make you to Him  for a people. 
09O 012:023 `I, also, far be it from me to sin against Jehovah, by  ceasing to pray for you, and I have directed you in the good  and upright way; 
09O 012:024 only, fear ye Jehovah, and ye have served Him in truth  with all your heart, for see that which He hath made great with  you; 
09O 012:025 and if ye really do evil, both ye and your king are  consumed.' 
09O 013:001 A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years  he hath reigned over Israel, 
09O 013:002 and Saul chooseth for himself three thousand [men] out of  Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the  hill-country of Beth-El; and a thousand have been with Jonathan  in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath  sent each to his tents. 
09O 013:003 And Jonathan smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which  [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown  with a trumpet through all the land, saying, `Let the Hebrews  hear.' 
09O 013:004 And all Israel have heard, saying, `Saul hath smitten the  garrison of the Philistines,' and also, `Israel hath been  abhorred by the Philistines;' and the people are called after  Saul to Gilgal. 
09O 013:005 And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with  Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen,  and a people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for  multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of  Beth-Aven. 
09O 013:006 And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed,  that the people hath been oppressed, and the people hide  themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high  places, and in pits. 
09O 013:007 And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad  and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people  have trembled after him. 
09O 013:008 And he waiteth seven days, according to the appointment  with Samuel, and Samuel hath not come to Gilgal, and the people  are scattered from off him. 
09O 013:009 And Saul saith, `Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and  the peace-offerings;' and he causeth the burnt-offering to  ascend. 
09O 013:010 And it cometh to pass at his completing to cause the  burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul  goeth out to meet him, to bless him; 
09O 013:011 and Samuel saith, `What hast thou done?' And Saul saith,  `Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and  thou hadst not come at the appointment of the days, and the  Philistines are gathered to Michmash, 
09O 013:012 and I say, Now do the Philistines come down unto me to  Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; and I  force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.' 
09O 013:013 And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Thou hast been foolish; thou  hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He  commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom  over Israel unto the age; 
09O 013:014 and, now, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought  for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah  chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept  that which Jehovah commanded thee.' 
09O 013:015 And Samuel riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of  Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth the people who are found with  him, about six hundred men, 
09O 013:016 and Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who are  found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the  Philistines have encamped in Michmash. 
09O 013:017 And the destroyer goeth out from the camp of the  Philistines -- three detachments; the one detachment turneth unto  the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual; 
09O 013:018 and the one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and  the one detachment turneth the way of the border which is  looking on the valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness. 
09O 013:019 And an artificer is not found in all the land of Israel,  for the Philistines said, `Lest the Hebrews make sword or  spear;' 
09O 013:020 and all Israel go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each  his ploughshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock; 
09O 013:021 and there hath been the file for mattocks, and for  coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to  set up the goads. 
09O 013:022 And it hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath  not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people  who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan -- and there is found to  Saul and to Jonathan his son. 
09O 013:023 And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the  passage of Michmash. 
09O 014:001 And the day cometh that Jonathan son of Saul saith unto the  young man bearing his weapons, `Come, and we pass over unto the  station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of  this;' and to his father he hath not declared [it]. 
09O 014:002 And Saul is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the  pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with  him, about six hundred men, 
09O 014:003 and Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of I-Chabod, son of  Phinehas son of Eli priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, bearing an  ephod; and the people knew not that Jonathan hath gone. 
09O 014:004 And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over  unto the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on  the one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the  name of the one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 
09O 014:005 The one edge [is] fixed on the north over-against Michmash,  and the one on the south over-against Gibeah. 
09O 014:006 And Jonathan saith unto the young man bearing his weapons,  `Come, and we pass over unto the station of these  uncircumcised; it may be Jehovah doth work for us, for there  is no restraint to Jehovah to save by many or by few.' 
09O 014:007 And the bearer of his weapons saith to him, `Do all that  [is] in thy heart; turn for thee; lo, I [am] with thee, as  thine own heart.' 
09O 014:008 And Jonathan saith, `Lo, we are passing over unto the men,  and are revealed unto them; 
09O 014:009 if thus they say unto us, `Stand still till we have come  unto you,' then we have stood in our place, and do not go up  unto them; 
09O 014:010 and if thus they say, `Come up against us,' then we have  gone up, for Jehovah hath given them into our hand, and this to  us [is] the sign. 
09O 014:011 And revealed are both of them unto the station of the  Philistines, and the Philistines say, `Lo, Hebrews are coming  out of the holes where they have hid themselves.' 
09O 014:012 And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer  of his weapons, and say, `Come up unto us, and we cause you to  know something.' And Jonathan saith unto the bearer of his  weapons, `Come up after me, for Jehovah hath given them into  the hand of Israel.' 
09O 014:013 And Jonathan goeth up on his hands, and on his feet, and  the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before  Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting to death  after him. 
09O 014:014 And the first smiting which Jonathan and the bearer of his  weapons have smitten is of about twenty men, in about half a  furrow of a yoke of a field, 
09O 014:015 and there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and  among all the people, the station and the destroyers have  trembled -- even they, and the earth shaketh, and it becometh a  trembling of God. 
09O 014:016 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and  lo, the multitude hath melted away, and it goeth on, and is  beaten down. 
09O 014:017 And Saul saith to the people who [are] with him, `Inspect,  I pray you, and see; who hath gone from us?' and they inspect,  and lo, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not. 
09O 014:018 And Saul saith to Ahiah, `Bring nigh the ark of God;' for  the ark of God hath been on that day with the sons of Israel. 
09O 014:019 And it cometh to pass, while Saul spake unto the priest,  that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goeth  on, going on and becoming great, and Saul saith unto the  priest, `Remove thy hand.' 
09O 014:020 And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him,  and they come in unto the battle, and, lo, the sword of each  hath been against his neighbour -- a very great destruction. 
09O 014:021 And the Hebrews [who] have been for the Philistines as  heretofore, who had gone up with them into the camp, have  turned round, even they, to be with Israel who [are] with Saul  and Jonathan, 
09O 014:022 and all the men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in  the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines  have fled, and they pursue -- even they -- after them in battle. 
09O 014:023 And Jehovah saveth Israel on that day, and the battle hath  passed over to Beth-Aven. 
09O 014:024 And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day,  and Saul adjureth the people, saying, `Cursed [is] the man who  eateth food till the evening, and I have been avenged of mine  enemies;' and none of the people hath tasted food. 
09O 014:025 And all [they of] the land have come into a forest, and  there is honey on the face of the field; 
09O 014:026 and the people come in unto the forest, and lo, the honey  dropped, and none is moving his hand unto his mouth, for the  people feared the oath. 
09O 014:027 And Jonathan hath not heard of his father's adjuring the  people, and putteth forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his  hand, and dippeth it in the honeycomb, and bringeth back his  hand unto his mouth -- and his eyes see! 
09O 014:028 And a man of the people answereth and saith, `Thy father  certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who  eateth food to-day; and the people are weary.' 
09O 014:029 And Jonathan saith, `My father hath troubled the land;  see, I pray you, that mine eyes have become bright because I  tasted a little of this honey. 
09O 014:030 How much more if the people had well eaten to-day of the  spoil of its enemies which it hath found, for now, the smiting  hath not been great among the Philistines.' 
09O 014:031 And they smite on that day among the Philistines from  Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary, 
09O 014:032 and the people make unto the spoil, and take sheep, and  oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the  people eat with the blood. 
09O 014:033 And they declare to Saul, saying, `Lo, the people are  sinning against Jehovah, to eat with the blood.' And he saith,  `Ye have dealt treacherously, roll unto me to-day a great  stone.' 
09O 014:034 And Saul saith, `Be ye scattered among the people, and ye  have said to them, Bring ye nigh unto me each his ox, and each  his sheep; and ye have slain [them] in this place, and eaten,  and ye do not sin against Jehovah to eat with the blood.' And  all the people bring nigh each his ox, in his hand, that night,  and slaughter [them] there. 
09O 014:035 And Saul buildeth an alter to Jehovah; with it he hath  begun to build altars to Jehovah. 
09O 014:036 And Saul saith, `Let us go down after the Philistines by  night, and we prey upon them till the light of the morning,  and leave not a man of them.' And they say, `All that is good  in thine eyes do.' And the priest saith, `Let us draw near  hither unto God.' 
09O 014:037 And Saul asketh of God, `Do I go down after the  Philistines? dost Thou give them into the hand of Israel?'  and He hath not answered him on that day. 
09O 014:038 And Saul saith, `Draw ye nigh hither all, the chiefs of  the people, and know and see in what this sin hath been to-day; 
09O 014:039 for, Jehovah liveth, who is saving Israel: surely if it  be in Jonathan my son, surely he doth certainly die;' and none  is answering him out of all the people. 
09O 014:040 And he saith unto all Israel, `Ye -- ye are on one side,  and I and Jonathan my son are on another side;' and the people  say unto Saul, `That which is good in thine eyes do.' 
09O 014:041 And Saul saith unto Jehovah, God of Israel, `Give  perfection;' and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the  people went out. 
09O 014:042 And Saul saith, `Cast between me and Jonathan my son;'  and Jonathan is captured. 
09O 014:043 And Saul saith unto Jonathan, `Declare to me, what hast  thou done?' and Jonathan declareth to him, and saith, `I  certainly tasted with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand a  little honey; lo, I die!' 
09O 014:044 And Saul saith, `Thus doth God do, and thus doth He add,  for thou dost certainly die, Jonathan.' 
09O 014:045 And the people say unto Saul, `Doth Jonathan die who  wrought this great salvation in Israel? -- a profanation!  Jehovah liveth, if there falleth from the hair of his head to  the earth, for with God he hath wrought this day;' and the  people rescue Jonathan, and he hath not died. 
09O 014:046 And Saul goeth up from after the Philistines, and the  Philistines have gone to their place; 
09O 014:047 and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fighteth  round about against all his enemies, against Moab, and against  the Bene-Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of  Zobah, and against the Philistines, and whithersoever he  turneth he doth vex [them]. 
09O 014:048 And he maketh a force, and smiteth Amalek, and delivereth  Israel out of the hand of its spoiler. 
09O 014:049 And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and  Melchi-Shua; as to the name of his two daughters, the name of  the first-born [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal; 
09O 014:050 and the name of the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of  Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of  Ner, uncle of Saul; 
09O 014:051 and Kish [is] father of Saul, and Ner father of Abner [is]  son of Ahiel. 
09O 014:052 And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days  of Saul; when Saul hath seen any mighty man, and any son of  valour, then he doth gather him unto himself. 
09O 015:001 And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Me did Jehovah send to anoint  thee for king over His people, over Israel; and now, hearken to  the voice of the words of Jehovah: 
09O 015:002 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have looked after that which  Amalek did to Israel, that which he laid for him in the way in  his going up out of Egypt. 
09O 015:003 Now, go, and thou hast smitten Amalek, and devoted all that  it hath, and thou hast no pity on it, and hast put to death  from man unto woman, from infant unto suckling, from ox unto  sheep, from camel unto ass.' 
09O 015:004 And Saul summoneth the people, and inspecteth them in  Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand [are]  men of Judah. 
09O 015:005 And Saul cometh in unto a city of Amalek, and layeth wait  in a valley; 
09O 015:006 and Saul saith unto the Kenite, `Go, turn aside, go down  from the midst of Amalek, lest I consume thee with it, and  thou didst kindness with all the sons of Israel, in their going  up out of Egypt;' and the Kenite turneth aside from the midst  of Amalek. 
09O 015:007 And Saul smiteth Amalek from Havilah -- thy going in to Shur,  which [is] on the front of Egypt, 
09O 015:008 and he catcheth Agag king of Amalek alive, and all the  people he hath devoted by the mouth of the sword; 
09O 015:009 and Saul hath pity -- also the people -- on Agag, and on the  best of the flock, and of the herd, and of the seconds, and on  the lambs, and on all that [is] good, and have not been willing  to devote them; and all the work, despised and wasted -- it they  devoted. 
09O 015:010 And the word of Jehovah is unto Samuel, saying, 
09O 015:011 `I have repented that I caused Saul to reign for king, for  he hath turned back from after Me, and My words he hath not  performed;' and it is displeasing to Samuel, and he crieth  unto Jehovah all the night. 
09O 015:012 And Samuel riseth early to meet Saul in the morning, and  it is declared to Samuel, saying, `Saul hath come in to  Carmel, and lo, he is setting up to himself a monument, and  goeth round, and passeth over, and goeth down to Gilgal.' 
09O 015:013 And Samuel cometh in unto Saul, and Saul saith to him,  `Blessed [art] thou of Jehovah; I have performed the word of  Jehovah.' 
09O 015:014 And Samuel saith, `And what [is] the noise of this flock  in mine ears -- and the noise of the herd which I am hearing?' 
09O 015:015 And Saul saith, `From Amalek they have brought them,  because the people had pity on the best of the flock, and of  the herd, in order to sacrifice to Jehovah thy God, and the  remnant we have devoted.' 
09O 015:016 And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Desist, and I declare to  thee that which Jehovah hath spoken unto me to-night;' and he  saith to him, `Speak.' 
09O 015:017 And Samuel saith, `Art not thou, if thou [art] little in  thine own eyes, head of the tribes of Israel? and Jehovah doth  anoint thee for king over Israel, 
09O 015:018 and Jehovah sendeth thee in the way, and saith, Go, and  thou hast devoted the sinners, the Amalekite, and fought  against them till they are consumed; 
09O 015:019 and why hast thou not hearkened to the voice of  Jehovah -- and dost fly unto the spoil, and dost do the evil  thing in the eyes of Jehovah?' 
09O 015:020 And Saul saith unto Samuel, `Because -- I have hearkened to  the voice of Jehovah, and I go in the way which Jehovah hath  sent me, and bring in Agag king of Amalek, and Amalek I have  devoted; 
09O 015:021 and the people taketh of the spoil of the flock and herd,  the first part of the devoted thing, for sacrifice to Jehovah  thy God in Gilgal.' 
09O 015:022 And Samuel saith, `Hath Jehovah had delight in  burnt-offerings and sacrifices as [in] hearkening to the voice  of Jehovah? lo, hearkening than sacrifice is better; to give  attention than fat of rams; 
09O 015:023 for a sin of divination [is] rebellion, and iniquity and  teraphim [is] stubbornness; because thou hast rejected the word  of Jehovah, He also doth reject thee from [being] king.' 
09O 015:024 And Saul saith unto Samuel, `I have sinned, for I passed  over the command of Jehovah, and thy words; because I have  feared the people, I also hearken to their voice; 
09O 015:025 and now, bear, I pray thee, with my sin, and turn back  with me, and I bow myself to Jehovah.' 
09O 015:026 And Samuel saith unto Saul, `I do not turn back with  thee; for thou hast rejected the word of Jehovah, and Jehovah  doth reject thee from being king over Israel.' 
09O 015:027 And Samuel turneth round to go, and he layeth hold on the  skirt of his upper robe -- and it is rent! 
09O 015:028 And Samuel saith unto him, `Jehovah hath rent the kingdom  of Israel from thee to-day, and given it to thy neighbour who  is better than thou; 
09O 015:029 and also, the Pre-eminence of Israel doth not lie nor  repent, for He [is] not a man to be penitent.' 
09O 015:030 And he saith, `I have sinned; now, honour me, I pray  thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and  turn back with me; and I have bowed myself to Jehovah thy God.' 
09O 015:031 And Samuel turneth back after Saul, and Saul boweth  himself to Jehovah; 
09O 015:032 and Samuel saith, `Bring ye nigh unto me Agag king of  Amalek,' and Agag cometh unto him daintily, and Agag saith,  `Surely the bitterness of death hath turned aside.' 
09O 015:033 And Samuel saith, `As thy sword bereaved women -- so is thy  mother bereaved above women;' and Samuel heweth Agag in pieces  before Jehovah in Gilgal. 
09O 015:034 And Samuel goeth to Ramath, and Saul hath gone unto his  house -- to Gibeah of Saul. 
09O 015:035 And Samuel hath not added to see Saul till the day of his  death, for Samuel mourned for Saul, and Jehovah repented that  He had caused Saul to reign over Israel. 
09O 016:001 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Till when art thou  mourning for Saul, and I have rejected him from reigning over  Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and go, I send thee unto Jesse  the Beth-Lehemite, for I have seen among his sons for Myself a  king. 
09O 016:002 And Samuel saith, `How do I go? when Saul hath heard,  then he hath slain me.' And Jehovah saith, `A heifer of the  herd thou dost take in thy hand, and hast said, To sacrifice to  Jehovah I have come; 
09O 016:003 and thou hast called for Jesse in the sacrifice, and I  cause thee to know that which thou dost do, and thou hast  anointed to Me him of whom I speak unto thee.' 
09O 016:004 And Samuel doth that which Jehovah hath spoken, and cometh  in to Beth-Lehem, and the elders of the city tremble to meet  him, and [one] saith, `Is thy coming peace?' 
09O 016:005 and he saith, `Peace; to sacrifice to Jehovah I have come,  sanctify yourselves, and ye have come in with me to the  sacrifice;' and he sanctifieth Jesse and his sons, and calleth  them to the sacrifice. 
09O 016:006 And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, that he seeth  Eliab, and saith, `Surely, before Jehovah [is] His anointed.' 
09O 016:007 And Jehovah saith unto Samuel, `Look not unto his  appearance, and unto the height of his stature, for I have  rejected him; for [it is] not as man seeth -- for man looketh at  the eyes, and Jehovah looketh at the heart.' 
09O 016:008 And Jesse calleth unto Abinadab, and causeth him to pass by  before Samuel; and he saith, `Also on this Jehovah hath not  fixed.' 
09O 016:009 And Jesse causeth Shammah to pass by, and he saith, `Also  on this Jehovah hath not fixed.' 
09O 016:010 And Jesse causeth seven of his sons to pass by before  Samuel, and Samuel saith to Jesse, `Jehovah hath not fixed on  these.' 
09O 016:011 And Samuel saith unto Jesse, `Are the young men  finished?' and he saith, `Yet hath been left the youngest;  and lo, he delighteth himself among the flock;' and Samuel  saith unto Jesse, `Send and take him, for we do not turn round  till his coming in hither.' 
09O 016:012 And he sendeth, and bringeth him in, and he [is] ruddy,  with beauty of eyes, and of good appearance; and Jehovah saith,  `Rise, anoint him, for this [is] he.' 
09O 016:013 And Samuel taketh the horn of oil, and anointeth him in  the midst of his brethren, and prosper over David doth the  Spirit of Jehovah from that day and onwards; and Samuel riseth  and goeth to Ramath. 
09O 016:014 And the Spirit of Jehovah turned aside from Saul, and a  spirit of sadness from Jehovah terrified him; 
09O 016:015 and the servants of Saul say unto him, `Lo, we pray thee,  a spirit of sadness [from] God is terrifying thee; 
09O 016:016 let our lord command, we pray thee, thy servants before  thee, they seek a skilful man, playing on a harp, and it hath  come to pass, in the spirit of sadness [from] God being upon  thee, that he hath played with his hand, and [it is] well with  thee.' 
09O 016:017 And Saul saith unto his servants, `Provide, I pray you,  for me a man playing well -- then ye have brought [him] in unto  me.' 
09O 016:018 And one of the servants answereth and saith, `Lo, I have  seen a son of Jesse the Beth-Lehemite, skilful in playing, and  a mighty virtuous man, and a man of battle, and intelligent in  word, and a man of form, and Jehovah [is] with him.' 
09O 016:019 And Saul sendeth messengers unto Jesse, and saith, `Send  unto me David thy son, who [is] with the flock.' 
09O 016:020 And Jesse taketh an ass, [with] bread, and a bottle of  wine, and one kid of the goats, and sendeth by the hand of  David his son unto Saul. 
09O 016:021 And David cometh in unto Saul, and standeth before him,  and he loveth him greatly; and he is a bearer of his weapons. 
09O 016:022 And Saul sendeth unto Jesse, saying, `Let David, I pray  thee, stand before me, for he hath found grace in mine eyes.' 
09O 016:023 And it hath come to pass, in the spirit of [sadness from]  God being on Saul, that David hath taken the harp, and played  with his hand, and Saul hath refreshment and gladness, and the  spirit of sadness hath turned aside from off him. 
09O 017:001 And the Philistines gather their camps to battle, and are  gathered to Shochoh, which [is] to Judah, and encamp between  Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-Dammim; 
09O 017:002 and Saul and the men of Israel have been gathered, and  encamp by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array to  meet the Philistines. 
09O 017:003 And the Philistines are standing on the mountain on this  side, and the Israelites are standing on the mountain on that  side, and the valley [is] between them. 
09O 017:004 And there goeth out a man of the duellists from the camps  of the Philistines, Goliath [is] his name, from Gath; his  height [is] six cubits and a span, 
09O 017:005 and a helmet of brass [is] on his head, and [with] a scaled  coat of mail he [is] clothed, and the weight of the coat of  mail [is] five thousand shekels of brass, 
09O 017:006 and a frontlet of brass [is] on his feet, and a javelin of  brass between his shoulders, 
09O 017:007 and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers', and  the flame of his spear [is] six hundred shekels of iron, and  the bearer of the buckler is going before him. 
09O 017:008 And he standeth and calleth unto the ranks of Israel, and  saith to them, `Why are ye come out to set in array the  battle? [am] not I the Philistine, and ye servants to Saul?  choose for you a man, and let him come down unto me; 
09O 017:009 if he be able to fight with me, and have smitten me, then  we have been to you for servants; and if I am able for him, and  have smitten him, then ye have been to us for servants, and  have served us.' 
09O 017:010 And the Philistine saith, `I have reproached the ranks  of Israel this day; give to me a man, and we fight together.' 
09O 017:011 And Saul heareth -- and all Israel -- these words of the  Philistine, and they are broken down and greatly afraid. 
09O 017:012 And David [is] son of this Ephrathite of Beth-Lehem-Judah,  whose name [is] Jesse, and he hath eight sons, and the man in  the days of Saul hath become aged among men; 
09O 017:013 and the three eldest sons of Jesse go, they have gone  after Saul to battle; and the name of his three sons who have  gone into battle [are] Eliab the first-born, and his second  Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 
09O 017:014 And David is the youngest, and the three eldest have gone  after Saul, 
09O 017:015 and David is going and returning from Saul, to feed the  flock of his father at Beth-Lehem. 
09O 017:016 And the Philistine draweth nigh, morning and evening, and  stationeth himself forty days. 
09O 017:017 And Jesse saith to David his son, `Take, I pray thee, to  thy brethren, an ephah of this roasted [corn], and these ten  loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren; 
09O 017:018 and these ten cuttings of the cheese thou dost take in to  the head of the thousand, and thy brethren thou dost inspect  for welfare, and their pledge dost receive.' 
09O 017:019 And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel [are] in the  valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines. 
09O 017:020 And David riseth early in the morning, and leaveth the  flock to a keeper, and lifteth up, and goeth, as Jesse  commanded him, and he cometh in to the path, and to the force  which is going out unto the rank, and they have shouted for  battle; 
09O 017:021 and Israel and the Philistines set in array rank to meet  rank. 
09O 017:022 And David letteth down the goods from off him on the hand  of a keeper of the goods, and runneth into the rank, and cometh  and asketh of his brethren of welfare. 
09O 017:023 And he is speaking with them, and lo, a man of the  duellists is coming up, Goliath the Philistine [is] his name, of  Gath, out of the ranks of the Philistines, and he speaketh  according to those words, and David heareth; 
09O 017:024 and all the men of Israel when they see the man flee from  his presence, and are greatly afraid. 
09O 017:025 And the men of Israel say, `Have ye seen this man who is  coming up? for, to reproach Israel he is coming up, and it  hath been -- the man who smiteth him, the king doth enrich him  with great riches, and his daughter he doth give to him, and  his father's house doth make free in Israel.' 
09O 017:026 And David speaketh unto the men who are standing by him,  saying, `What is done to the man who smiteth this Philistine,  and hath turned aside reproach from Israel? for who [is] this  uncircumcised Philistine that he hath reproached the ranks of  the living God?' 
09O 017:027 And the people speak to him according to this word,  saying, `Thus it is done to the man who smiteth him.' 
09O 017:028 And Eliab, his eldest brother, heareth when he speaketh  unto the men, and the anger of Eliab burneth against David, and  he saith, `Why [is] this -- thou hast come down! and to whom  hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I have known  thy pride, and the evil of thy heart -- for, to see the battle  thou hast come down.' 
09O 017:029 And David saith, `What have I done now? is it not a  word?' 
09O 017:030 And he turneth round from him unto another, and saith  according to this word, and the people return him word as the  first word. 
09O 017:031 And the words which David hath spoken are heard, and they  declare before Saul, and he receiveth him; 
09O 017:032 and David saith unto Saul, `Let no man's heart fall  because of him, thy servant doth go, and hath fought with this  Philistine.' 
09O 017:033 And Saul saith unto David, `Thou art not able to go unto  this Philistine, to fight with him, for a youth thou [art], and  he a man of war from his youth.' 
09O 017:034 And David saith unto Saul, `A shepherd hath thy servant  been to his father among the sheep, and the lion hath come -- and  the bear -- and hath taken away a sheep out of the drove, 
09O 017:035 and I have gone out after him, and smitten him, and  delivered out of his mouth, and he riseth against me, and I  have taken hold on his beard, and smitten him, and put him to  death. 
09O 017:036 Both the lion and the bear hath thy servant smitten, and  this uncircumcised Philistine hath been as one of them, for he  hath reproached the ranks of the living God.' 
09O 017:037 And David saith, `Jehovah, who delivered me out of the  paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He doth  deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.' And Saul saith  unto David, `Go, and Jehovah is with thee.' 
09O 017:038 And Saul clotheth David with his long robe, and hath put a  helmet of brass on his head, and doth clothe him with a coat of  mail. 
09O 017:039 And David girded his sword above his long robe, and  beginneth to go, for he hath not tried [it]; and David saith  unto Saul, `I am not able to go with these, for I had not  tried;' and David turneth them aside from off him. 
09O 017:040 And he taketh his staff in his hand, and chooseth for him  five smooth stones from the brook, and putteth them in the  shepherds' habiliments that he hath, even in the scrip, and his  sling [is] in his hand, and he draweth nigh unto the  Philistine. 
09O 017:041 And the Philistine goeth on, going and drawing near unto  David, and the man bearing the buckler [is] before him, 
09O 017:042 and the Philistine looketh attentively, and seeth David,  and despiseth him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair  appearance. 
09O 017:043 And the Philistine saith unto David, `Am I a dog that  thou art coming unto me with staves?' and the Philistine  revileth David by his gods, 
09O 017:044 and the Philistine saith unto David, `Come unto me, and I  give thy flesh to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of  the field.' 
09O 017:045 And David saith unto the Philistine, `Thou art coming unto  me with sword, and with spear, and with buckler, and I am  coming unto thee in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, God of the  ranks of Israel, which thou hast reproached. 
09O 017:046 This day doth Jehovah shut thee up into my hand -- and I  have smitten thee, and turned aside thy head from off thee, and  given the carcase of the camp of the Philistines this day to  the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and all  the earth do know that God is for Israel. 
09O 017:047 and all this assembly do know that not by sword and by  spear doth Jehovah save, that the battle [is] Jehovah's, and He  hath given you into our hand.' 
09O 017:048 And it hath come to pass, that the Philistine hath risen,  and goeth, and draweth near to meet David, and David hasteth  and runneth to the rank to meet the Philistine, 
09O 017:049 and David putteth forth his hand unto the vessel, and  taketh thence a stone, and slingeth, and smiteth the Philistine  on his forehead, and the stone sinketh into his forehead, and  he falleth on his face to the earth. 
09O 017:050 And David is stronger than the Philistine with a sling and  with a stone, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to  death, and there is no sword in the hand of David, 
09O 017:051 and David runneth and standeth over the Philistine, and  taketh his sword, and draweth it out of its sheath, and putteth  him to death, and cutteth off with it his head; and the  Philistines see that their hero [is] dead, and flee. 
09O 017:052 And the men of Israel rise -- also Judah -- and shout, and  pursue the Philistines till thou enter the valley, and unto the  gates of Ekron, and the wounded of the Philistines fall in  the way of Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron, 
09O 017:053 and the sons of Israel turn back from burning after the  Philistines, and spoil their camps. 
09O 017:054 And David taketh the head of the Philistine, and bringeth  it in to Jerusalem, and his weapons he hath put in his own  tent. 
09O 017:055 And when Saul seeth David going out to meet the  Philistine, he hath said unto Abner, head of the host, `Whose  son [is] this -- the youth, Abner?' and Abner saith, `Thy soul  liveth, O king, I have not known.' 
09O 017:056 And the king saith, `Ask thou whose son this [is] -- the  young man.' 
09O 017:057 And when David turneth back from smiting the Philistine,  then Abner taketh him and bringeth him in before Saul, and the  head of the Philistine in his hand; 
09O 017:058 and Saul saith unto him, `Whose son [art] thou, O youth?'  and David saith, `Son of thy servant Jesse, the  Beth-Lehemite.' 
09O 018:001 And it cometh to pass, when he finisheth to speak unto  Saul, that the soul of Jonathan hath been bound to the soul of  David, and Jonathan loveth him as his own soul. 
09O 018:002 And Saul taketh him on that day, and hath not permitted him  to turn back to the house of his father. 
09O 018:003 And Jonathan maketh -- also David -- a covenant, because he  loveth him as his own soul, 
09O 018:004 and Jonathan strippeth himself of the upper robe which [is]  upon him, and giveth it to David, and his long robe, even  unto his sword, and unto his bow, and unto his girdle. 
09O 018:005 And David goeth out whithersoever Saul doth send him; he  acted wisely, and Saul setteth him over the men of war, and it  is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of  the servants of Saul. 
09O 018:006 And it cometh to pass, in their coming in, in David's  returning from smiting the Philistine, that the women come out  from all the cities of Israel to sing -- also the dancers -- to  meet Saul the king, with tabrets, with joy, and with  three-stringed instruments; 
09O 018:007 and the women answer -- those playing, and say, `Saul hath  smitten among his thousands, And David among his myriads.' 
09O 018:008 And it is displeasing to Saul exceedingly, and this thing  is evil in his eyes, and he saith, `They have given to David  myriads, and to me they have given the thousands, and more to  him [is] only the kingdom;' 
09O 018:009 and Saul is eyeing David from that day and thenceforth. 
09O 018:010 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the spirit of  sadness [from] God prospereth over Saul, and he prophesieth in  the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as  day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul, 
09O 018:011 and Saul casteth the javelin, and saith, `I smite through  David, even through the wall;' and David turneth round out of  his presence twice. 
09O 018:012 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for Jehovah  hath been with him, and from Saul He hath turned aside; 
09O 018:013 and Saul turneth him aside from him, and appointeth him to  himself head of a thousand, and he goeth out an cometh in,  before the people. 
09O 018:014 And David is in all his ways acting wisely, and Jehovah  [is] with him, 
09O 018:015 and Saul seeth that he is acting very wisely, and is  afraid of him, 
09O 018:016 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out  and coming in before them. 
09O 018:017 And Saul saith unto David, `Lo, my elder daughter  Merab -- her I give to thee for a wife; only, be to me for a son  of valour, and fight the battles of Jehovah;' and Saul said,  `Let not my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines  be upon him.' 
09O 018:018 And David saith unto Saul, `Who [am] I? and what my  life -- the family of my father in Israel -- that I am son-in-law  to the king?' 
09O 018:019 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab  daughter of Saul to David, that she hath been given to Adriel  the Meholathite for a wife. 
09O 018:020 And Michal daughter of Saul loveth David, and they declare  to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes, 
09O 018:021 and Saul saith, `I give her to him, and she is to him for  a snare, and the hand of the Philistines is on him;' and Saul  saith unto David, `By the second -- thou dost become my  son-in-law to-day.' 
09O 018:022 And Saul commandeth his servants, `Speak unto David  gently, saying, Lo, the king hath delighted in thee, and all  his servants have loved thee, and now, be son-in-law to the  king.' 
09O 018:023 And the servants of Saul speak in the ears of David these  words, and David saith, `Is it a light thing in your eyes to  be son-in-law to the king -- and I a poor man, and lightly  esteemed?' 
09O 018:024 And the servants of Saul declare to him, saying,  `According to these words hath David spoken.' 
09O 018:025 And Saul saith, `Thus do ye say to David, There is no  delight to the king in dowry, but in a hundred foreskins of the  Philistines -- to be avenged on the enemies of the king;' and  Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the  Philistines. 
09O 018:026 And his servants declare to David these words, and the  thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law to the  king; and the days have not been full, 
09O 018:027 and David riseth and goeth, he and his men, and smiteth  among the Philistines two hundred men, and David bringeth in  their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be  son-in-law to the king; and Saul giveth to him Michal his  daughter for a wife. 
09O 018:028 And Saul seeth and knoweth that Jehovah [is] with David,  and Michal daughter of Saul hath loved him, 
09O 018:029 and Saul addeth to be afraid of the presence of David yet;  and Saul is an enemy with David all the days. 
09O 018:030 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it cometh  to pass from the time of their coming out, David hath acted  more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is  very precious. 
09O 019:001 And Saul speaketh unto Jonathan his son, and unto all his  servants, to put David to death, 
09O 019:002 and Jonathan son of Saul delighted exceedingly in David,  and Jonathan declareth to David, saying, `Saul my father is  seeking to put thee to death, and, now, take heed, I pray thee,  in the morning, and thou hast abode in a secret place, and been  hidden, 
09O 019:003 and I -- I go out, and have stood by the side of my father in  the field where thou [art], and I speak of thee unto my father,  and have seen what [is coming], and have declared to thee.' 
09O 019:004 And Jonathan speaketh good of David unto Saul his father,  and saith unto him, `Let not the king sin against his servant,  against David, because he hath not sinned against thee, and  because his works for thee [are] very good; 
09O 019:005 yea, he putteth his life in his hand, and smiteth the  Philistine, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation for all  Israel; thou hast seen, and dost rejoice, and why dost thou sin  against innocent blood, to put David to death for nought?' 
09O 019:006 And Saul hearkeneth to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul  sweareth, `Jehovah liveth -- he doth not die.' 
09O 019:007 And Jonathan calleth for David, and Jonathan declareth to  him all these words, and Jonathan bringeth in David unto Saul,  and he is before him as heretofore. 
09O 019:008 And there addeth to be war, and David goeth out and  fighteth against the Philistines, and smiteth among them -- a  great smiting, and they flee from his face. 
09O 019:009 And a spirit of sadness [from] Jehovah is unto Saul, and he  is sitting in his house, and his javelin in his hand, and David  is playing with the hand, 
09O 019:010 and Saul seeketh to smite with the javelin through David,  and through the wall, and he freeth himself from the presence  of Saul, and he smiteth the javelin through the wall; and David  hath fled and escapeth during that night. 
09O 019:011 And Saul sendeth messengers unto the house of David to  watch him, and to put him to death in the morning; and Michal  his wife declareth to David, saying, `If thou art not  delivering thy life to-night -- tomorrow thou art put to death.' 
09O 019:012 And Michal causeth David to go down through the window,  and he goeth on, and fleeth, and escapeth; 
09O 019:013 and Michal taketh the teraphim, and layeth on the bed, and  the mattress of goats' [hair] she hath put [for] his pillows,  and covereth with a garment. 
09O 019:014 And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and she saith,  `He [is] sick.' 
09O 019:015 And Saul sendeth the messengers to see David, saying,  `Bring him up in the bed unto me,' -- to put him to death. 
09O 019:016 And the messengers come in, and lo, the teraphim [are] on  the bed, and the mattress of goats' [hair], [for] his pillows. 
09O 019:017 And Saul saith unto Michal, `Why thus hast thou deceived  me -- that thou dost send away mine enemy, and he is escaped?'  and Michal saith unto Saul, `He said unto me, Send me away:  why do I put thee to death?' 
09O 019:018 And David hath fled, and is escaped, and cometh in unto  Samuel to Ramath, and declareth to him all that Saul hath done  to him, and he goeth, he and Samuel, and they dwell in Naioth. 
09O 019:019 And it is declared to Saul, saying, `Lo, David [is] in  Naioth in Ramah.' 
09O 019:020 And Saul sendeth messengers to take David, and they see  the assembly of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing,  set over them, and the Spirit of God is on Saul's messengers,  and they prophesy -- they also. 
09O 019:021 And they declare [it] to Saul, and he sendeth other  messengers, and they prophesy -- they also; and Saul addeth and  sendeth messengers a third time, and they prophesy -- they also. 
09O 019:022 And he goeth -- he also -- to Ramath, and cometh in unto the  great well which [is] in Sechu, and asketh, and saith, `Where  [are] Samuel and David?' and [one] saith, `Lo, in Naioth in  Ramah.' 
09O 019:023 And he goeth thither -- unto Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit  of God is upon him -- him also; and he goeth, going on, and he  prophesyeth till his coming in to Naioth in Ramah, 
09O 019:024 and he strippeth off -- he also -- his garments, and  prophesieth -- he also -- before Samuel, and falleth down naked all  that day and all the night; therefore they say, `Is Saul also  among the prophets?' 
09O 020:001 And David fleeth from Naioth in Ramah, and cometh, and  saith before Jonathan, `What have I done? what [is] mine  iniquity? and what my sin before thy father, that he is  seeking my life?' 
09O 020:002 And he saith to him, `Far be it! thou dost not die; lo,  my father doth not do anything great or small and doth not  uncover mine ear; and wherefore doth my father hide from me  this thing? this [thing] is not.' 
09O 020:003 And David sweareth again, and saith, `Thy father hath  certainly known that I have found grace in thine eyes, and he  saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; and yet,  Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, but -- as a step between me  and death.' 
09O 020:004 And Jonathan saith to David, `What doth thy soul say? -- and  I do it for thee.' 
09O 020:005 And David saith unto Jonathan, `Lo, the new moon [is]  to-morrow; and I do certainly sit with the king to eat; and  thou hast sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field till  the third evening; 
09O 020:006 if thy father at all look after me, and thou hast said,  David asked earnestly of me to run to Beth-Lehem his city, for  a sacrifice of the days [is] there for all the family. 
09O 020:007 If thus he say: Good; peace [is] for thy servant; and if it  be very displeasing to him -- know that the evil hath been  determined by him; 
09O 020:008 and thou hast done kindness, to thy servant, for into a  covenant of Jehovah thou hast brought thy servant with  thee; -- and if there is in me iniquity, put thou me to death;  and unto thy father, why is this -- thou dost bring me in?' 
09O 020:009 And Jonathan saith, `Far be it from thee! for I certainly  do not know that the evil hath been determined by my father to  come upon thee, and I do not declare it to thee.' 
09O 020:010 And David saith unto Jonathan, `Who doth declare to me?  or what [if] thy father doth answer thee sharply?' 
09O 020:011 And Jonathan saith unto David, `Come, and we go out into  the field;' and they go out both of them into the field. 
09O 020:012 And Jonathan saith unto David, `Jehovah, God of  Israel -- when I search my father, about [this] time to-morrow  [or] the third [day], and lo, good [is] towards David, and I  do not then send unto thee, and have uncovered thine ear -- 
09O 020:013 thus doth Jehovah do to Jonathan, and thus doth He add;  when the evil concerning thee is good to my father, then I have  uncovered thine ear, and sent thee away, and thou hast gone in  peace, and Jehovah is with thee, as he was with my father; 
09O 020:014 and not only while I am alive dost thou do with me the  kindness of Jehovah, and I die not, 
09O 020:015 but thou dost not cut off thy kindness from my house unto  the age, nor in Jehovah's cutting off the enemies of David,  each one from off the face of the ground.' 
09O 020:016 And Jonathan covenanteth with the house of David, and  Jehovah hath sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David; 
09O 020:017 and Jonathan addeth to cause David to swear, because he  loveth him, for with the love of his own soul he hath loved  him. 
09O 020:018 And Jonathan saith to him, `To-morrow [is] new moon, and  thou hast been looked after, for thy seat is looked after; 
09O 020:019 and on the third day thou dost certainly come down, and  hast come in unto the place where thou wast hidden in the day  of the work, and hast remained near the stone Ezel. 
09O 020:020 `And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out  for myself at a mark; 
09O 020:021 and lo, I send the youth: Go, find the arrows. If I at  all say to the youth, Lo, the arrows [are] on this side of  thee -- take them, -- then come thou, for peace [is] for thee,  and there is nothing; Jehovah liveth. 
09O 020:022 And if thus I say to the young man, Lo, the arrows [are]  beyond thee, -- go, for Jehovah hath sent thee away; 
09O 020:023 as to the thing which we have spoken, I and thou, lo,  Jehovah [is] between me and thee -- unto the age.' 
09O 020:024 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon,  and the king sitteth down by the food to eat, 
09O 020:025 and the king sitteth on his seat, as time by time, on a  seat by the wall, and Jonathan riseth, and Abner sitteth at the  side of Saul, and David's place is looked after. 
09O 020:026 And Saul hath not spoken anything on that day, for he  said, `It [is] an accident; he is not clean -- surely not clean.' 
09O 020:027 And it cometh to pass on the second morrow of the new  moon, that David's place is looked after, and Saul saith unto  Jonathan his son, `Wherefore hath the son of Jesse not come in,  either yesterday or to-day, unto the food?' 
09O 020:028 And Jonathan answereth Saul, `David hath been earnestly  asked of me unto Beth-Lehem, 
09O 020:029 and he saith, Send me away, I pray thee, for a family  sacrifice we have in the city, and my brother himself hath  given command to me, and now, if I have found grace in thine  eyes, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren;  therefore he hath not come unto the table of the king.' 
09O 020:030 And the anger of Saul burneth against Jonathan, and he  saith to him, `Son of a perverse rebellious woman! have I not  known that thou art fixing on the son of Jesse to thy shame,  and to the shame of the nakedness of thy mother? 
09O 020:031 for all the days that the son of Jesse liveth on the  ground thou art not established, thou and thy kingdom; and now,  send and bring him unto me, for he [is] a son of death.' 
09O 020:032 And Jonathan answereth Saul his father, and saith unto  him, `Why is he put to death? what hath he done?' 
09O 020:033 And Saul casteth the javelin at him to smite him, and  Jonathan knoweth that it hath been determined by his father to  put David to death. 
09O 020:034 And Jonathan riseth from the table in the heat of anger,  and hath not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he  hath been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame. 
09O 020:035 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goeth  out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little  youth [is] with him. 
09O 020:036 And he saith to his youth, `Run, find, I pray thee, the  arrows which I am shooting;' the youth is running, and he hath  shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him. 
09O 020:037 And the youth cometh unto the place of the arrow which  Jonathan hath shot, and Jonathan calleth after the youth, and  saith, `Is not the arrow beyond thee?' 
09O 020:038 and Jonathan calleth after the youth, `Speed, haste, stand  not;' and Jonathan's youth gathereth the arrows, and cometh  unto his lord. 
09O 020:039 And the youth hath not known anything, only Jonathan and  David knew the word. 
09O 020:040 And Jonathan giveth his weapons unto the youth whom he  hath, and saith to him, `Go, carry into the city.' 
09O 020:041 The youth hath gone, and David hath risen from Ezel, at  the south, and falleth on his face to the earth, and boweth  himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep  one with another, till David exerted himself; 
09O 020:042 and Jonathan saith to David, `Go in peace, in that we  have sworn -- we two -- in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah is  between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed -- unto the  age;' and he riseth and goeth; and Jonathan hath gone in to  the city. 
09O 021:001 And David cometh in to Nob, unto Ahimelech the priest, and  Ahimelech trembleth at meeting David, and saith to him,  `Wherefore [art] thou thyself alone, and no man with thee?' 
09O 021:002 And David saith to Ahimelech the priest, `The king hath  commanded me a matter, and he saith unto me, Let no man know  anything of the matter about which I am sending thee, and which  I have commanded thee; and the young men I have caused to know  at such and such a place; 
09O 021:003 and now, what is there under thy hand? five loaves give  into my hand, or that which is found.' 
09O 021:004 And the priest answereth David, and saith, `There is no  common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the  youths have been kept only from women.' 
09O 021:005 And David answereth the priest, and saith to him, `Surely,  if women have been restrained from us as heretofore in my going  out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a  common way: and also, surely to-day it is sanctified in the  vessel.' 
09O 021:006 And the priest giveth to him the holy thing, for there was  no bread there except the bread of the Presence which is turned  aside from the presence of Jehovah to put hot bread in the day  of its being taken away. 
09O 021:007 And there [is] a man of the servants of Saul on that day  detained before Jehovah, and his name [is] Doeg the Edomite,  chief of the shepherds whom Saul hath. 
09O 021:008 And David saith to Ahimelech, `And is there not here under  thy hand spear or sword? for neither my sword nor my vessels  have I taken in my hand, for the matter of the king was  urgent.' 
09O 021:009 And the priest saith, `The sword of Goliath the Philistine,  whom thou didst smite in the valley of Elah, lo, it is wrapt in  a garment behind the ephod, if it thou dost take to thyself,  take; for there is none other save it in this [place].' And  David saith, `There is none like it -- give it to me.' 
09O 021:010 And David riseth and fleeth on that day from the face of  Saul, and cometh in unto Achish king of Gath; 
09O 021:011 and the servants of Achish say unto him, `Is not this  David king of the land? is it not of this one they sing in  dances, saying, `Saul smote among his thousands, and David  among his myriads?' 
09O 021:012 And David layeth these words in his heart, and is  exceedingly afraid of the face of Achish king of Gath, 
09O 021:013 and changeth his behaviour before their eyes, and feigneth  himself mad in their hand, and scribbleth on the doors of the  gate, and letteth down his spittle unto his beard. 
09O 021:014 And Achish saith unto his servants, `Lo, ye see a man  acting as a madman; why do ye bring him in unto me? 
09O 021:015 A lack of madmen [have] I, that ye have brought in this  one to act as a madman by me! doth this one come in unto my  house?' 
09O 022:001 And David goeth thence, and is escaped unto the cave of  Adullam, and his brethren hear, and all the house of his  father, and go down unto him thither; 
09O 022:002 and gather themselves unto him do every man in distress,  and every man who hath an exactor, and every man bitter in  soul, and he is over them for head, and there are with him  about four hundred men. 
09O 022:003 And David goeth thence to Mizpeh of Moab, and saith unto  the king of Moab, `Let, I pray thee, my father and my mother  go out with you, till that I know what God doth for me;' 
09O 022:004 and he leadeth them before the king of Moab, and they dwell  with him all the days of David's being in the fortress. 
09O 022:005 And Gad the prophet saith unto David, `Thou dost not abide  in a fortress, go, and thou hast entered for thee the land of  Judah;' and David goeth and entereth the forest of Hareth. 
09O 022:006 And Saul heareth that David hath become known, and the men  who [are] with him, and Saul is abiding in Gibeah, under the  grove in Ramah, and his spear [is] in his hand, and all his  servants standing by him. 
09O 022:007 And Saul saith to his servants who are standing by him,  `Hear, I pray you, ye Benjamites; also to all of you doth the  son of Jesse give fields and vineyards! all of you he doth  appoint heads of thousands and heads of hundreds! 
09O 022:008 for ye have conspired all of you against me, and there is  none uncovering mine ear about my son's covenanting with the  son of Jesse, and there is none of you grieving for me, and  uncovering mine ear, that my son hath raised up my servant  against me, to lie in wait as [at] this day.' 
09O 022:009 And answer doth Doeg the Edomite, who is set over the  servants of Saul, and saith, `I have seen the son of Jesse  coming in to Nob, unto Ahimelech son of Ahitub, 
09O 022:010 and he asketh for him at Jehovah, and provision hath given  to him, and the sword of Goliath the Philistine hath given to  him. 
09O 022:011 And the king sendeth to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub, the  priest, and all the house of his father, the priests, who [are]  in Nob, and they come all of them unto the king; 
09O 022:012 and Saul saith, `Hear, I pray thee, son of Ahitub;' and  he saith, `Here [am] I, my lord.' 
09O 022:013 And Saul saith unto him, `Why have ye conspired against  me, thou and the son of Jesse, by thy giving to him bread and a  sword, and to ask for him at God, to rise against me, to lie in  wait, as [at] this day?' 
09O 022:014 And Ahimelech answereth the king and saith, `And who  among all thy servants [is] as David -- faithful, and son-in-law  of the king, and hath turned aside unto thy council, and is  honoured in thy house? 
09O 022:015 To-day have I begun to ask for him at God? far be it from  me! let not the king lay anything against his servant, against  any of the house of my father, for thy servant hath known  nothing of all this, less or more.' 
09O 022:016 And the king saith, `Thou dost surely die, Ahimelech,  thou, and all the house of thy father.' 
09O 022:017 And the king saith to runners, those standing by him,  `Turn round, and put to death the priests of Jehovah, because  their hand also [is] with David, and because they have known  that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered mine ear;' and the  servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their  hand to come against the priests of Jehovah. 
09O 022:018 And the king saith to Doeg, `Turn round thou, and come  against the priests;' and Doeg the Edomite turneth round, and  cometh himself against the priests, and putteth to death in  that day eighty and five men bearing a linen ephod, 
09O 022:019 and Nob, the city of the priests, he hath smitten by the  mouth of the sword, from man even unto woman, from infant even  unto suckling, and ox, and ass, and sheep, by the mouth of the  sword. 
09O 022:020 And there escapeth one son of Ahimelech, son of Ahitub,  and his name [is] Abiathar, and he fleeth after David, 
09O 022:021 and Abiathar declareth to David that Saul hath slain the  priests of Jehovah. 
09O 022:022 And David saith to Abiathar, `I have known on that day  when Doeg the Edomite [is] there, that he doth certainly  declare [it] to Saul; I have brought [it] round to every  person of the house of thy father; 
09O 022:023 dwell with me; fear not; for he who seeketh my life  seeketh thy life; for a charge [art] thou with me.' 
09O 023:001 And they declare to David, saying, `Lo, the Philistines  are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the  threshing-floors.' 
09O 023:002 And David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `Do I go? -- and have I  smitten among these Philistines?' And Jehovah saith unto  David, `Go, and thou hast smitten among the Philistines, and  saved Keilah.' 
09O 023:003 And David's men say unto him, `Lo, we here in Judah are  afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, unto the ranks  of the Philistines?' 
09O 023:004 And David addeth again to ask at Jehovah, and Jehovah  answereth him, and saith, `Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am  giving the Philistines into thy hand.' 
09O 023:005 And David goeth, and his men, to Keilah, and fighteth with  the Philistines, and leadeth away their cattle, and smiteth  among them -- a great smiting, and David saveth the inhabitants  of Keilah. 
09O 023:006 And it cometh to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of  Ahimelech unto David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his  hand. 
09O 023:007 And it is declared to Saul that David hath come in to  Keilah, and Saul saith, `God hath made him known for my hand,  for he hath been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and  bar.' 
09O 023:008 And Saul summoneth the whole of the people to battle, to go  down to Keilah, to lay siege unto David and unto his men. 
09O 023:009 And David knoweth that against him Saul is devising the  evil, and saith unto Abiathar the priest, `Bring nigh the  ephod.' 
09O 023:010 And David saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, Thy servant  hath certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come in unto  Keilah, to destroy the city on mine account. 
09O 023:011 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand?  doth Saul come down as Thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of  Israel, declare, I pray Thee, to Thy servant.' And Jehovah  saith, `He doth come down.' 
09O 023:012 And David saith, `Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up,  and my men, into the hand of Saul?' And Jehovah saith, `They  shut [thee] up.' 
09O 023:013 And David riseth -- and his men -- about six hundred men, and  they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up  and down; and to Saul it hath been declared that David hath  escaped from Keilah, and he ceaseth to go out. 
09O 023:014 And David abideth in the wilderness, in fortresses, and  abideth in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and  Saul seeketh him all the days, and God hath not given him into  his hand. 
09O 023:015 And David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life,  and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest. 
09O 023:016 And Jonathan son of Saul riseth, and goeth unto David to  the forest, and strengtheneth his hand in God, 
09O 023:017 and saith unto him, `Fear not, for the hand of Saul my  father doth not find thee, and thou dost reign over Israel, and  I am to thee for second, and also so knoweth Saul my father.' 
09O 023:018 And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and  David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone to his  house. 
09O 023:019 And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, `Is  not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest,  in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the  desolate place? 
09O 023:020 And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come  down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of  the king.' 
09O 023:021 And Saul saith, `Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, for ye have  pity on me; 
09O 023:022 go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place  where his foot is; who hath seen him there? for [one] hath  said unto me, He is very subtile. 
09O 023:023 And see and know of all the hiding-places where he hideth  himself, and ye have turned back unto me prepared, and I have  gone with you, and it hath been, if he is in the land, that I  have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.' 
09O 023:024 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and  his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the  south of the desolate place. 
09O 023:025 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare to  David, and he goeth down the rock, and abideth in the  wilderness of Maon; and Saul heareth, and pursueth after David  [to] the wilderness of Maon. 
09O 023:026 And Saul goeth on this side of the mountain, and David and  his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hastened to  go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are compassing  David and his men, to catch them. 
09O 023:027 And a messenger hath come in unto Saul, saying, `Haste,  and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.' 
09O 023:028 And Saul turneth back from pursuing after David, and goeth  to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place  `The Rock of Divisions.' 
09O 023:029 And David goeth up thence, and abideth in fortresses [at]  En-gedi. 
09O 024:001 And it cometh to pass when Saul hath turned back from after  the Philistines, that they declare to him, saying, `Lo, David  [is] in the wilderness of En-gedi.' 
09O 024:002 And Saul taketh three thousand chosen men out of all  Israel, and goeth to seek David and his men, on the front of  the rocks of the wild goats, 
09O 024:003 and he cometh in unto folds of the flock, on the way, and  there [is] a cave, and Saul goeth in to cover his feet; and  David and his men in the sides of the cave are abiding. 
09O 024:004 And the men of David say unto him, `Lo, the day of which  Jehovah said unto thee, Lo, I am giving thine enemy into thy  hand, and thou hast done to him as it is good in thine eyes;'  and David riseth and cutteth off the skirt of the upper robe  which [is] on Saul -- gently. 
09O 024:005 And it cometh to pass afterwards that the heart of David  smiteth him, because that he hath cut off the skirt which [is]  on Saul, 
09O 024:006 and he saith to his men, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah;  I do not do this thing to my lord -- to the anointed of  Jehovah -- to put forth my hand against him, for the anointed of  Jehovah he [is].' 
09O 024:007 And David subdueth his men by words, and hath not permitted  them to rise against Saul; and Saul hath risen from the cave,  and goeth on the way; 
09O 024:008 and David riseth afterwards, and goeth out from the cave,  and calleth after Saul, saying, `My lord, O king!' And Saul  looketh attentively behind him, and David boweth -- face to the  earth -- and doth obeisance. 
09O 024:009 And David saith to Saul, `Why dost thou hear the words of  man, saying, Lo, David is seeking thine evil? 
09O 024:010 Lo, this day have thine eyes seen how that Jehovah hath  given thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and [one] said to  slay thee, and [mine eye] hath pity on thee, and I say, I do  not put forth my hand against my lord, for the anointed of  Jehovah he [is]. 
09O 024:011 `And, my father, see, yea see the skirt of thine upper  robe in my hand; for by cutting off the skirt of thy upper  robe, and I have not slain thee, know and see that there is not  in my hand evil and transgression, and I have not sinned  against thee, and thou art hunting my soul to take it! 
09O 024:012 `Jehovah doth judge between me and thee, and Jehovah hath  avenged me of thee, and my hand is not on thee; 
09O 024:013 as saith the simile of the ancients, From the wicked goeth  out wickedness, and my hand is not on thee. 
09O 024:014 `After whom hath the king of Israel come out? after whom  art thou pursuing? -- after a dead dog! after one flea! 
09O 024:015 And Jehovah hath been for judge, and hath judged between  me and thee, yea, he seeth and pleadeth my cause, and doth  deliver me out of thy hand.' 
09O 024:016 And it cometh to pass, when David completeth to speak  these words unto Saul, that Saul saith, `Is this thy voice, my  son David?' and Saul lifteth up his voice, and weepeth. 
09O 024:017 And he saith unto David, `More righteous thou [art] than  I; for thou hast done me good, and I have done thee evil; 
09O 024:018 and thou hast declared to-day how that thou hast done good  with me, how that Jehovah shut me up into thy hand, and thou  didst not slay me, 
09O 024:019 and that a man doth find his enemy, and hath sent him away  in a good manner; and Jehovah doth repay thee good for that  which thou didst to me this day. 
09O 024:020 `And, now, lo, I have known that thou dost certainly  reign, and the kingdom of Israel hath stood in thy hand; 
09O 024:021 and, now, swear to me by Jehovah -- thou dost not cut off my  seed after me, nor dost thou destroy my name from the house of  my father.' 
09O 024:022 And David sweareth to Saul, and Saul goeth unto his  house, and David and his men have gone up unto the fortress. 
09O 025:001 And Samuel dieth, and all Israel are gathered, and mourn  for him, and bury him in his house, in Ramah; and David riseth  and goeth down unto the wilderness of Paran. 
09O 025:002 And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel;  and the man [is] very great, and he hath three thousand sheep,  and a thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel. 
09O 025:003 And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his  wife Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of  fair form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in] doings; and he  [is] a Calebite. 
09O 025:004 And David heareth in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing  his flock, 
09O 025:005 and David sendeth ten young men, and David saith to the  young men, `Go ye up to Carmel, and ye have come in unto  Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare, 
09O 025:006 and said thus: To life! and thou, peace; and thy house,  peace; and all that thou hast -- peace! 
09O 025:007 and, now, I have heard that thou hast shearers; now, the  shepherds whom thou hast have been with us, we have not put  them to shame, nor hath anything been looked after by them, all  the days of their being in Carmel. 
09O 025:008 `Ask thy young men, and they declare to thee, and the young  men find grace in thine eyes, for on a good day we have come;  give, I pray thee, that which thy hand findeth, to thy  servants, and to thy son, to David.' 
09O 025:009 And the young men of David come in, and speak unto Nabal  according to all these words, in the name of David -- and rest. 
09O 025:010 And Nabal answereth the servants of David and saith, `Who  [is] David, and who the son of Jesse? to-day have servants  been multiplied who are breaking away each from his master; 
09O 025:011 and I have taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh,  which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men  whom I have not known whence they [are]!' 
09O 025:012 And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn  back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these  words. 
09O 025:013 And David saith to his men, `Gird ye on each his sword;'  and they gird on each his sword, and David also girdeth on his  sword, and there go up after David about four hundred men, and  two hundred have remained by the vessels. 
09O 025:014 And to Abigail wife of Nabal hath one young man of the  youths declared, saying, `Lo, David hath sent messengers out  of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flieth upon them; 
09O 025:015 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to  shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we  have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field; 
09O 025:016 a wall they have been unto us both by night and by day,  all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock. 
09O 025:017 `And, now, know and consider what thou dost; for evil  hath been determined against our lord, and against all his  house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken  to.' 
09O 025:018 And Abigail hasteth, and taketh two hundred loaves, and  two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five  measures of roasted corn, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and  two hundred bunches of figs, and setteth [them] on the asses. 
09O 025:019 And she saith to her young men, `Pass over before me;  lo, after you I am coming;' and to her husband Nabal she hath  not declared [it]; 
09O 025:020 and it hath come to pass, she is riding on the ass and is  coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and lo,  David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meeteth  them. 
09O 025:021 And David said, `Only, in vain I have kept all that this  [one] hath in the wilderness, and nothing hath been looked  after of all that he hath, and he turneth back to me evil for  good; 
09O 025:022 thus doth God do to the enemies of David, and thus He doth  add, if I leave of all that he hath till the light of the  morning -- of those sitting on the wall.' 
09O 025:023 And Abigail seeth David, and hasteth and cometh down from  off the ass, and falleth before David on her face, and boweth  herself to the earth, 
09O 025:024 and falleth at his feet and saith, `On me, my lord, the  iniquity; and let, I pray thee, thy handmaid speak in thine  ear, and hear the words of thy handmaid. 
09O 025:025 `Let not, I pray thee, my lord set his heart to this man  of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he;  Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, thine  handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom thou didst  send; 
09O 025:026 and now, my lord, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, in  that Jehovah hath withheld thee from coming in with blood, and  to save thy hand to thee -- now let thine enemies be as Nabal,  even those seeking evil unto my lord. 
09O 025:027 `And, now, this blessing which thy maid-servant hath  brought to my lord -- it hath been given to the young men who are  going up and down at the feet of my lord. 
09O 025:028 `Bear, I pray thee, with the transgression of thy  handmaid, for Jehovah doth certainly make to my lord a stedfast  house; for the battles of Jehovah hath my lord fought, and evil  is not found in thee [all] thy days. 
09O 025:029 And man riseth to pursue thee and to seek thy soul, and  the soul of my lord hath been bound in the bundle of life with  Jehovah thy God; as to the soul of thine enemies, He doth  sling them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling. 
09O 025:030 `And it hath been, when Jehovah doth to my lord according  to all the good which He hath spoken concerning thee, and  appointed thee for leader over Israel, 
09O 025:031 that this is not to thee for a stumbling-block, and for an  offence of heart to my lord -- either to shed blood for nought,  or my lord's restraining himself; and Jehovah hath done good to  my lord, and thou hast remembered thy handmaid.' 
09O 025:032 And David saith to Abigail, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of  Israel, who hath sent thee this day to meet me, 
09O 025:033 and blessed [is] thy discretion, and blessed [art] thou in  that thou hast restrained me this day from coming in with  blood, and to restrain my hand to myself. 
09O 025:034 And yet, Jehovah liveth, God of Israel, who hath kept me  back from doing evil with thee, for unless thou hadst hasted,  and dost come to meet me, surely there had not been left to  Nabal till the light of the morning, of those sitting on the  wall.' 
09O 025:035 And David receiveth from her hand that which she hath  brought to him, and to her he hath said, `Go up in peace to  thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and accept thy  face.' 
09O 025:036 And Abigail cometh in unto Nabal, and lo, he hath a  banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart  of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk unto excess,  and she hath not declared to him anything, less or more, till  the light of the morning. 
09O 025:037 And it cometh to pass in the morning, when the wine is  gone out from Nabal, that his wife declareth to him these  things, and his heart dieth within him, and he hath been as a  stone. 
09O 025:038 And it cometh to pass, [in] about ten days, that Jehovah  smiteth Nabal, and he dieth, 
09O 025:039 and David heareth that Nabal [is] dead, and saith,  `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach  from the hand of Nabal, and His servant hath kept back from  evil, and the wickedness of Nabal hath Jehovah turned back on  his own head;' and David sendeth and speaketh with Abigail, to  take her to him for a wife. 
09O 025:040 And the servants of David come in unto Abigail at Carmel,  and speak unto her, saying, `David hath sent us unto thee to  take thee to him for a wife.' 
09O 025:041 And she riseth and boweth herself -- face to the earth -- and  saith, `Lo, thy handmaid [is] for a maid-servant to wash the  feet of the servants of my lord.' 
09O 025:042 And Abigail hasteth and riseth, and rideth on the ass;  and five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she  goeth after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife. 
09O 025:043 And Ahinoam hath David taken from Jezreel, and they  are -- even both of them -- to him for wives; 
09O 025:044 and Saul gave Michal his daughter, wife to David, to  Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim. 
09O 026:001 And the Ziphites come in unto Saul, at Gibeah, saying, `Is  not David hiding himself in the height of Hachilah, on the  front of the desert?' 
09O 026:002 And Saul riseth, and goeth down unto the wilderness of  Ziph, and with him three thousand men, chosen ones of Israel,  to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph. 
09O 026:003 And Saul encampeth in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on  the front of the desert, by the way, and David is abiding in  the wilderness, and he seeth that Saul hath come after him in  to the wilderness; 
09O 026:004 and David sendeth spies, and knoweth that Saul hath come  unto Nachon, 
09O 026:005 and David riseth, and cometh in unto the place where Saul  hath encamped, and David seeth the place where Saul hath lain,  and Abner son of Ner, head of his host, and Saul is lying in  the path, and the people are encamping round about him. 
09O 026:006 And David answereth and saith unto Ahimelech the Hittite,  and unto Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, `Who  doth go down with me unto Saul, unto the camp?' and Abishai  saith, `I -- I go down with thee.' 
09O 026:007 And David cometh -- and Abishai -- unto the people by night,  and lo, Saul is lying sleeping in the path, and his spear  struck into the earth at his pillow, and abner and the people  are lying round about him. 
09O 026:008 And Abishai saith unto David, `God hath shut up to-day  thine enemy into thy hand; and, now, let me smite him, I pray  thee, with a spear, even into the earth at once -- and I do  repeat [it] to him.' 
09O 026:009 And David saith unto Abishai, `Destroy him not; for who  hath put forth his hand against the anointed of Jehovah, and  been acquitted?' 
09O 026:010 And David saith, `Jehovah liveth; except Jehovah doth  smite him, or his day come that he hath died, or into battle he  go down, and hath been consumed -- 
09O 026:011 far be it from me, by Jehovah, from putting forth my hand  against the anointed of Jehovah; and, now, take, I pray thee,  the spear which [is] at his pillow, and the cruse of water, and  we go away.' 
09O 026:012 And David taketh the spear, and the cruse of water at the  pillow of Saul, and they go away, and there is none seeing, and  there is none knowing, and there is none awaking, for all of  them are sleeping, for a deep sleep [from] Jehovah hath fallen  upon them. 
09O 026:013 And David passeth over to the other side, and standeth on  the top of the hill afar off -- great [is] the place between  them; 
09O 026:014 and David calleth unto the people, and unto Abner son of  Ner, saying, `Dost thou not answer, Abner?' and Abner  answereth and saith, `Who [art] thou [who] hast called unto  the king?' 
09O 026:015 And David saith unto Abner, `Art not thou a man? and who  [is] like thee in Israel? but why hast thou not watched over  thy lord the king? for one of the people had come in to  destroy the king, thy lord. 
09O 026:016 Not good is this thing which thou hast done; Jehovah  liveth, but ye [are] sons of death, in that ye have not watched  over your lord, over the anointed of Jehovah; and now, see  where the king's spear [is], and the cruse of water which [is]  at his bolster.' 
09O 026:017 And Saul discerneth the voice of David, and saith, `Is  this thy voice, my son David?' and David saith, `My voice, my  lord, O king!' 
09O 026:018 and he saith, `Why [is] this -- my lord is pursuing after  his servant? for what have I done, and what [is] in my hand  evil? 
09O 026:019 And, now, let, I pray thee, my lord the king hear the  words of his servant: if Jehovah hath moved thee against me,  let Him accept a present; and if the sons of men -- cursed [are]  they before Jehovah, for they have cast me out to-day from  being admitted into the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go,  serve other gods. 
09O 026:020 `And now, let not my blood fall to the earth over-against  the face of Jehovah, for the king of Israel hath come out to  seek one flea, as [one] pursueth the partridge in mountains.' 
09O 026:021 And Saul saith, `I have sinned; turn back, my son David,  for I do evil to thee no more, because that my soul hath been  precious in thine eyes this day; lo, I have acted foolishly,  and do err very greatly.' 
09O 026:022 And David answereth and saith, `Lo, the king's spear;  and let one of the young men pass over, and receive it; 
09O 026:023 and Jehovah doth turn back to each his righteousness and  his faithfulness, in that Jehovah hath given thee to-day into  [my] hand, and I have not been willing to put forth my hand  against the anointed of Jehovah, 
09O 026:024 and lo, as thy soul hath been great this day in mine eyes,  so is my soul great in the eyes of Jehovah, and He doth deliver  me out of all distress.' 
09O 026:025 And Saul saith unto David, `Blessed [art] thou, my son  David, also working thou dost work, and also prevailing thou  dost prevail.' And David goeth on his way, and Saul hath  turned back to his place. 
09O 027:001 And David saith unto his heart, `Now am I consumed one day  by the hand of Saul; there is nothing for me better than that  I diligently escape unto the land of the Philistines, and Saul  hath been despairing of me -- of seeking me any more in all the  border of Israel, and I have escaped out of his hand.' 
09O 027:002 And David riseth, and passeth over, he and six hundred men  who [are] with him, unto Achish son of Maoch king of Gath; 
09O 027:003 and David dwelleth with Achish in Gath, he and his men,  each one with his household, [even] David and his two wives,  Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the  Carmelitess. 
09O 027:004 And it is declared to Saul that David hath fled to Gath,  and he hath not added any more to seek him. 
09O 027:005 And David saith unto Achish, `If, I pray thee, I have  found grace in thine eyes, they give to me a place in one of  the cities of the field, and I dwell there, yea, why doth thy  servant dwell in the royal city with thee?' 
09O 027:006 And Achish giveth to him in that day Ziklag, therefore hath  Ziklag been to the kings of Judah till this day. 
09O 027:007 And the number of the days which David hath dwelt in the  field of the Philistines [is] days and four months; 
09O 027:008 and David goeth up and his men, and they push unto the  Geshurite, and the Gerizite, and the Amalekite, (for they are  inhabitants of the land from of old), as thou comest in to Shur  and unto the land of Egypt, 
09O 027:009 and David hath smitten the land, and doth not keep alive  man and woman, and hath taken sheep, and oxen, and asses, and  camels, and garments, and turneth back, and cometh in unto  Achish. 
09O 027:010 And Achish saith, `Whither have ye pushed to-day?' and  David saith, `Against the south of Judah, and against the  south of the Jerahmeelite, and unto the south of the Kenite.' 
09O 027:011 Neither man nor woman doth David keep alive, to bring in  [word] to Gath, saying, `Lest they declare [it] against us,  saying, Thus hath David done, and thus [is] his custom all the  days that he hath dwelt in the fields of the Philistines.' 
09O 027:012 And Achish believeth in David, saying, `He hath made  himself utterly abhorred among his people, in Israel, and hath  been to me for a servant age-during.' 
09O 028:001 And it cometh to pass in those days, that the Philistines  gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and  Achish saith unto David, `Thou dost certainly know that with  me thou dost go out into the camp, thou and thy men.' 
09O 028:002 And David saith unto Achish, `Therefore -- thou dost know  that which thy servant dost do.' And Achish saith unto David,  `Therefore -- keeper of my head I do appoint thee all the days.' 
09O 028:003 And Samuel hath died, and all Israel mourn for him, and  bury him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul hath turned aside  those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the  land. 
09O 028:004 And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp  in Shunem, and Saul gathereth all Israel, and they encamp in  Gilboa, 
09O 028:005 and Saul seeth the camp of the Philistines, and feareth,  and his heart trembleth greatly, 
09O 028:006 and Saul asketh at Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not answered  him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets. 
09O 028:007 And Saul saith to his servants, `Seek for me a woman  possessing a familiar spirit, and I go unto her, and inquire of  her;' and his servants say unto him, `Lo, a woman possessing  a familiar spirit in En-dor.' 
09O 028:008 And Saul disguiseth himself and putteth on other garments,  and goeth, he and two of the men with him, and they come in  unto the woman by night, and he saith, `Divine, I pray thee,  to me by the familiar spirit, and cause to come up to me him  whom I say unto thee.' 
09O 028:009 And the woman saith unto him, `Lo, thou hast known that  which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those having  familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why  art thou laying a snare for my soul -- to put me to death?' 
09O 028:010 And Saul sweareth to her by Jehovah, saying, `Jehovah  liveth, punishment doth not meet thee for this thing.' 
09O 028:011 And the woman saith, `Whom do I bring up to thee?' and he  saith, `Samuel -- bring up to me.' 
09O 028:012 And the woman seeth Samuel, and crieth with a loud voice,  and the woman speaketh unto Saul, saying, `Why hast thou  deceived me -- and thou Saul?' 
09O 028:013 And the king saith to her, `Do not fear; for what hast  thou seen?' and the woman saith unto Saul, `Gods I have seen  coming up out of the earth.' 
09O 028:014 And he saith to her, `What [is] his form?' and she  saith, `An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an  upper robe;' and Saul knoweth that he [is] Samuel, and  boweth -- face to thee earth -- and doth obeisance. 
09O 028:015 And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Why hast thou troubled me,  to bring me up?' And Saul saith, `I have great distress, and  the Philistines are fighting against me, God hath turned aside  from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the hand  of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for thee to let me  know what I do.' 
09O 028:016 And Samuel saith, `And why dost thou ask me, and Jehovah  hath turned aside from thee, and is thine enemy? 
09O 028:017 And Jehovah doth for Himself as He hath spoken by my hand,  and Jehovah rendeth the kingdom out of thy hand, and giveth it  to thy neighbour -- to David. 
09O 028:018 Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah,  nor didst the fierceness of His anger on Amalek -- therefore this  thing hath Jehovah done to thee this day; 
09O 028:019 yea, Jehovah giveth also Israel with thee into the hand of  the Philistines, and tomorrow thou and thy sons [are] with me;  also the camp of Israel doth Jehovah give into the hand of the  Philistines.' 
09O 028:020 And Saul hasteth and falleth -- the fulness of his  stature -- to the earth, and feareth greatly because of the words  of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten  bread all the day, and all the night. 
09O 028:021 And the woman cometh in unto Saul, and seeth that he hath  been greatly troubled, and saith unto him, `Lo, thy  maid-servant hath hearkened to thy voice, and I put my soul in  my hand, and I obey thy words which thou hast spoken unto me; 
09O 028:022 and now, hearken, I pray thee, also thou, to the voice of  thy maid-servant, and I set before thee a morsel of bread, and  eat, and there is in thee power when thou goest in the way.' 
09O 028:023 And he refuseth, and saith, `I do not eat;' and his  servants urge on him, and also the woman, and he hearkeneth to  their voice, and riseth from the earth, and sitteth on the bed. 
09O 028:024 And the woman hath a calf of the stall in the house, and  she hasteth and slaughtereth it, and taketh flour, and  kneadeth, and baketh it unleavened things, 
09O 028:025 and bringeth nigh before Saul, and before his servants,  and they eat, and rise, and go on, during that night. 
09O 029:001 And the Philistines gather all their camps to Aphek, and  the Israelites are encamping at a fountain which [is] in  Jezreel, 
09O 029:002 and the princes of the Philistines are passing on by  hundreds, and by thousands, and David and his men are passing  on in the rear with Achish. 
09O 029:003 And the heads of the Philistines say, `What [are] these  Hebrews?' and Achish saith unto the heads of the Philistines,  `Is not this David servant of Saul king of Israel, who hath  been with me these days or these years, and I have not found in  him anything [wrong] from the day of his falling away till this  day.' 
09O 029:004 And the heads of the Philistines are wroth against him, and  the heads of the Philistines say to him, `Send back the man,  and he doth turn back unto his place whither thou hast  appointed him, and doth not go down with us into battle, and is  not to us for an adversary in battle; and wherewith doth this  one reconcile himself unto his lord -- is it not with the heads  of those men?' 
09O 029:005 Is not this David, of whom they answer in choruses, saying,  Saul hath smitten among his thousands, and David among his  myriads?' 
09O 029:006 And Achish calleth unto David, and saith unto him,  `Jehovah liveth, surely thou [art] upright, and good in mine  eyes is thy going out, and thy coming in, with me in the camp,  for I have not found in thee evil from the day of thy coming in  unto me till this day; and in the eyes of the princes thou art  not good; 
09O 029:007 and now, turn back, and go in peace, and thou dost do no  evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.' 
09O 029:008 And David saith unto Achish, `But what have I done? and  what hast thou found in thy servant from the day that I have  been before thee till this day -- that I go not in and have  fought against the enemies of my lord the king?' 
09O 029:009 And Achish answereth and saith unto David, `I have known  that thou [art] good in mine eyes as a messenger of God; only,  the princes of the Philistines have said, He doth not go up  with us into battle; 
09O 029:010 and now, rise thou early in the morning, and the servants  of thy lord who have come with thee, when ye have risen early  in the morning, and have light, then go ye.' 
09O 029:011 And David riseth early, he and his men, to go in the  morning, to turn back unto the land of the Philistines, and  the Philistines have gone up to Jezreel. 
09O 030:001 And it cometh to pass, in the coming in of David and his  men to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites have  pushed unto the south, and unto Ziklag, and smite Ziklag, and  burn it with fire, 
09O 030:002 and they take captive the women who [are] in it; from  small unto great they have not put any one to death, and they  lead away, and go on their way. 
09O 030:003 And David cometh in -- and his men -- unto the city, and lo,  burnt with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their  daughters have been taken captive! 
09O 030:004 And David lifteth up -- and the people who [are] with  him -- their voice and weep, till that they have no power to  weep. 
09O 030:005 And the two wives of David have been taken captive, Ahinoam  the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite; 
09O 030:006 and David hath great distress, for the people have said to  stone him, for the soul of all the people hath been bitter,  each for his sons and for his daughters; and David doth  strengthen himself in Jehovah his God. 
09O 030:007 And David saith unto Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech,  `Bring nigh, I pray thee, to me the ephod;' and Abiathar  bringeth nigh the ephod unto David, 
09O 030:008 and David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `I pursue after this  troop -- do I overtake it?' And He saith to him, `Pursue, for  thou dost certainly overtake, and dost certainly deliver.' 
09O 030:009 And David goeth on, he and six hundred men who [are] with  him, and they come in unto the brook of Besor, and those left  have stood still, 
09O 030:010 and David pursueth, he and four hundred men, (and two  hundred men stand still who have been too faint to pass over  the brook of Besor), 
09O 030:011 and they find a man, an Egyptian, in the field, and take  him unto David, and give to him bread, and he eateth, and they  cause him to drink water, 
09O 030:012 and give to him a piece of a bunch of dried figs, and two  bunches of raisins, and he eateth, and his spirit returneth unto  him, for he hath not eaten bread nor drunk water three days and  three nights. 
09O 030:013 And David saith to him, `Whose [art] thou? and whence  [art] thou?' And he saith, `An Egyptian youth I [am], servant  to a man, an Amalekite, and my lord forsaketh me, for I have  been sick three days, 
09O 030:014 we pushed [to] the south of the Cherethite, and against  that which [is] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb, and  Ziklag we burned with fire.' 
09O 030:015 And David saith unto him, `Dost thou bring me down unto  this troop?' and he saith, `Swear to me by God -- thou dost not  put me to death, nor dost thou shut me up into the hand of my  lord -- and I bring thee down unto this troop.' 
09O 030:016 And he bringeth him down, and lo, they are spread out over  the face of all the earth, eating, and drinking, and feasting,  with all the great spoil which they have taken out of the land  of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah. 
09O 030:017 And David smiteth them from the twilight even unto the  evening of the morrow, and there hath not escaped of them a  man, except four hundred young men who have ridden on the  camels, and are fled. 
09O 030:018 And David delivereth all that the Amalekites have taken;  also his two wives hath David delivered. 
09O 030:019 And there hath not lacked to them [anything], from small  unto great, and unto sons and daughters, and from the spoil,  even unto all that they had taken to themselves, the whole hath  David brought back, 
09O 030:020 and David taketh the whole of the flock, and of the herd,  they have led on before these cattle, and they say, `This [is]  David's spoil.' 
09O 030:021 And David cometh in unto the two hundred men who were too  faint to go after David, and whom they cause to abide at the  brook of Besor, and they go out to meet David, and to meet the  people who [are] with him, and David approacheth the people,  and asketh of them of welfare. 
09O 030:022 And every bad and worthless man, of the men who have gone  with David, answereth, yea, they say, `Because that they have  not gone with us we do not give to them of the spoil which we  have delivered, except each his wife and his children, and they  lead away and go. 
09O 030:023 And David saith, `Ye do not do so, my brethren, with that  which Jehovah hath given to us, and He doth preserve us, and  doth give the troop which cometh against us into our hand; 
09O 030:024 and who doth hearken to you in this thing? for as the  portion of him who was brought down into battle, so also [is]  the portion of him who is abiding by the vessels -- alike they  share.' 
09O 030:025 And it cometh to pass from that day and forward, that he  appointeth it for a statute and for an ordinance for Israel  unto this day. 
09O 030:026 And David cometh in unto Ziklag, and sendeth of the spoil  to the elders of Judah, to his friends, (saying, `Lo, for you  a blessing, of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah),' 
09O 030:027 to those in Beth-El, and to those in South Ramoth, and to  those in Jattir, 
09O 030:028 and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to  those in Eshtemoa, 
09O 030:029 and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the  Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites, 
09O 030:030 and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to  those in Athach, 
09O 030:031 and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David  had gone up and down, he and his men. 
09O 031:001 And the Philistines are fighting against Israel, and the  men of Israel flee from the face of the Philistines, and fall  wounded in mount Gilboa, 
09O 031:002 and the Philistines follow Saul and his sons, and the  Philistines smite Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchishua, sons  of Saul. 
09O 031:003 And the battle is hard against Saul, and the archers find  him -- men with bow -- and he is pained greatly by the archers; 
09O 031:004 and Saul saith to the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy  sword, and pierce me with it, lest they come -- these  uncircumcised -- and have pierced me, and rolled themselves on  me;' and the bearer of his weapons hath not been willing, for  he is greatly afraid, and Saul taketh the sword, and falleth  upon it. 
09O 031:005 And the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead,  and he falleth -- he also -- on his sword, and dieth with him; 
09O 031:006 and Saul dieth, and three of his sons, and the bearer of  his weapons, also all his men, on that day together. 
09O 031:007 And they see -- the men of Israel, who [are] beyond the  valley, and who [are] beyond the Jordan -- that the men of  Israel have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and  they forsake the cities and flee, and Philistines come in, and  dwell in them. 
09O 031:008 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that the Philistines  come to strip the wounded, and they find Saul and his three  sons fallen on mount Gilboa, 
09O 031:009 and they cut off his head, and strip off his weapons, and  send into the land of the Philistines round about, to proclaim  tidings [in] the house of their idols, and [among] the people; 
09O 031:010 and they place his weapons [in] the house of Ashtaroth,  and his body they have fixed on the wall of Beth-Shan. 
09O 031:011 And they hear regarding it -- the inhabitants of  Jabesh-Gilead -- that which the Philistines have done to Saul, 
09O 031:012 and all the men of valour arise, and go all the night, and  take the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, from the  wall of Beth-Shan, and come in to Jabesh, and burn them there, 
09O 031:013 and they take their bones, and bury [them] under the  tamarisk in Jabesh, and fast seven days.  
10O 001:001 And it cometh to pass, after the death of Saul, that David  hath returned from smiting the Amalekite, and David dwelleth in  Ziklag two days, 
10O 001:002 and it cometh to pass, on the third day, that lo, a man hath  come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] rent,  and earth on his head; and it cometh to pass, in his coming in  unto David, that he falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance. 
10O 001:003 And David saith to him, `Whence comest thou?' and he saith  unto him, `Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.' 
10O 001:004 And David saith unto him, `What hath been the matter? declare,  I pray thee, to me.' And he saith, that `The people hath fled  from the battle, and also a multitude hath fallen of the  people, and they die; and also Saul and Jonathan his son have  died.' 
10O 001:005 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him,  `How hast thou known that Saul and Jonathan his son [are]  dead?' 
10O 001:006 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him saith, I  happened to meet in mount Gilboa, and lo, Saul is leaning on  his spear; and lo, the chariots and those possessing horses  have followed him; 
10O 001:007 and he turneth behind him, and seeth me, and calleth unto  me, and I say, Here [am] I. 
10O 001:008 And he saith to me, Who [art] thou? and I say unto him, An  Amalekite I [am].' 
10O 001:009 `And he saith unto me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and put  me to death, for seized me hath the arrow, for all my soul [is]  still in me. 
10O 001:010 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that  he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which  [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and  bring them in unto my lord hither.' 
10O 001:011 And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and  also all the men who [are] with him, 
10O 001:012 and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for  Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah,  and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the  sword. 
10O 001:013 And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to  him, `Whence [art] thou?' and he saith, `Son of a sojourner, an  Amalekite, I [am].' 
10O 001:014 And David saith unto him, `How wast thou not afraid to put  forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?' 
10O 001:015 And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, `Draw  nigh -- fall upon him;' and he smiteth him, and he dieth; 
10O 001:016 and David saith unto him, `Thy blood [is] on thine own  head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I -- I  put to death the anointed of Jehovah.' 
10O 001:017 And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and  over Jonathan his son; 
10O 001:018 and he saith to teach the sons of Judah `The Bow;' lo, it  is written on the book of the Upright: -- 
10O 001:019 `The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded;  How have the mighty fallen! 
10O 001:020 Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the  streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice -- The daughters of the  Philistines, Lest they exult -- The daughters of the  Uncircumcised! 
10O 001:021 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields  of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield  of the mighty, The shield of Saul -- without the anointed with  oil. 
10O 001:022 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty,  The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of  Saul doth not return empty. 
10O 001:023 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their  lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than  eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been  mightier! 
10O 001:024 Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you  [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold  on your clothing. 
10O 001:025 How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle!  Jonathan! on thy high places wounded! 
10O 001:026 I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very  pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above  the love of women! 
10O 001:027 How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war  perish!' 
10O 002:001 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that David asketh at  Jehovah, saying, `Do I go up into one of the cities of Judah?'  and Jehovah saith unto him, `Go up.' And David saith, `Whither  do I go up?' and He saith, `To Hebron.' 
10O 002:002 And David goeth up thither, and also his two wives, Ahinoam  the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite; 
10O 002:003 and his men who [are] with him hath David brought up -- a man  and his household -- and they dwell in the cities of Hebron. 
10O 002:004 And the men of Judah come, and anoint there David for king  over the house of Judah; and they declare to David, saying,  `The men of Jabesh-Gilead [are] they who buried Saul.' 
10O 002:005 And David sendeth messengers unto the men of Jabesh-Gilead,  and saith unto them, `Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, in that ye  have done this kindness with your lord, with Saul, that ye bury  him. 
10O 002:006 `And, now, Jehovah doth with you kindness and truth, and  also, I do with you this good because ye have done this thing; 
10O 002:007 and now, are your hands strong, and be ye for sons of  valour, for your lord Saul. [is] dead, and also -- me have the  house of Judah anointed for king over them.' 
10O 002:008 And Abner, son of Ner, head of the host which Saul hath,  hath taken Ish-Bosheth, son of Saul, and causeth him to pass  over to Mahanaim, 
10O 002:009 and causeth him to reign over Gilead, and over the Ashurite,  and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over  Israel -- all of it. 
10O 002:010 A son of forty years, [is] Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, in his  reigning over Israel, and two years he hath reigned, only the  house of Judah have been after David. 
10O 002:011 And the number of the days that David hath been king in  Hebron, over the house of Judah, is seven years and six months. 
10O 002:012 And Abner son of Ner goeth out, and servants of Ish-Bosheth  son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 
10O 002:013 And Joab son of Zeruiah, and servants of David, have gone  out, and they meet by the pool of Gibeon together, and sit  down, these by the pool on this [side], and these by the pool on  that. 
10O 002:014 And Abner saith unto Joab, `Let the youths rise, I pray  thee, and they play before us;' and Joab saith, `Let them  rise.' 
10O 002:015 And they rise and pass over, in number twelve of Benjamin,  even of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of  David. 
10O 002:016 And they lay hold, each on the head of his companion, and  his sword [is] in the side of his companion, and they fall  together, and [one] calleth that place Helkath-Hazzurim, which  [is] in Gibeon, 
10O 002:017 and the battle is very hard on that day, and Abner is  smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 
10O 002:018 And there are there three sons of Zeruiah, Joab, and  Abishai, and Asahel, and Asahel [is] light on his feet, as one  of the roes which [are] in the field, 
10O 002:019 And Asahel pursueth after Abner, and hath not turned aside  to go to the right or to the left, from after Abner. 
10O 002:020 And Abner looketh behind him, and saith, `Art thou  he -- Asahel?' and he saith, `I [am].' 
10O 002:021 And Abner saith to him, `Turn thee aside to thy right hand  or to thy left, and seize for thee one of the youths, and take  to thee his armour;' and Asahel hath not been willing to turn  aside from after him. 
10O 002:022 And Abner addeth again, saying unto Asahel, `Turn thee  aside from after me, why do I smite thee to the earth? and how  do I lift up my face unto Joab thy brother?' 
10O 002:023 And he refuseth to turn aside, and Abner smiteth him with  the hinder part of the spear unto the fifth [rib], and the  spear cometh out from behind him, and he falleth there, and  dieth under it; and it cometh to pass, every one who hath come  unto the place where Asahel hath fallen and dieth -- they stand  still. 
10O 002:024 And Joab and Abishai pursue after Abner, and the sun hath  gone in, and they have come in unto the height of Ammah, which  [is] on the front of Giah, the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. 
10O 002:025 And the sons of Benjamin gather themselves together after  Abner, and become one troop, and stand on the top of a certain  height, 
10O 002:026 and Abner calleth unto Joab, and saith, `For ever doth the  sword consume? hast thou not known that it is bitterness in the  latter end? and till when dost thou not say to the people to  turn back from after their brethren?' 
10O 002:027 And Joab saith, `God liveth! for unless thou hadst spoken,  surely then from the morning had the people gone up each from  after his brother.' 
10O 002:028 And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and all the people stand  still, and pursue no more after Israel, nor have they added any  more to fight. 
10O 002:029 And Abner and his men have gone through the plain all that  night, and pass over the Jordan, and go on [through] all  Bithron, and come in to Mahanaim. 
10O 002:030 And Joab hath turned back from after Abner, and gathereth  all the people, and there are lacking of the servants of David  nineteen men, and Asahel; 
10O 002:031 and the servants of David have smitten of Benjamin, even  among the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men -- they died. 
10O 002:032 And they lift up Asahel, and bury him in the burying-place  of his father, which [is] in Beth-Lehem, and they go all the  night -- Joab and his men -- and it is light to them in Hebron. 
10O 003:001 And the war is long between the house of Saul and the house  of David, and David is going on and [is] strong, and the house  of Saul are going on and [are] weak. 
10O 003:002 And there are born to David sons in Hebron, and his  first-born is Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, 
10O 003:003 and his second [is] Chileab, of Abigail wife of Nabal the  Carmelite, and the third [is] Absalom son of Maacah daughter of  Talmai king of Geshur, 
10O 003:004 and the fourth [is] Adonijah son of Haggith, and the fifth  [is] Shephatiah son of Abital, 
10O 003:005 and the sixth [is] Ithream, of Eglah wife of David; these  have been born to David in Hebron. 
10O 003:006 And it cometh to pass, in the war being between the house of  Saul and the house of David, that Abner hath been strengthening  himself in the house of Saul, 
10O 003:007 and Saul hath a concubine, and her name [is] Rizpah daughter  of Aiah, and [Ish-Bosheth] saith unto Abner, `Wherefore hast  thou gone in unto the concubine of my father?' 
10O 003:008 And it is displeasing to Abner exceedingly, because of the  words of Ish-Bosheth, and he saith, `The head of a dog [am]  I -- that in reference to Judah to-day I do kindness with the  house of Saul thy father, unto his brethren, and unto his  friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of  David -- that thou chargest against me iniquity concerning the  woman to-day? 
10O 003:009 thus doth God to Abner, and thus He doth add to him, surely  as Jehovah hath sworn to David -- surely so I do to him: 
10O 003:010 to cause the kingdom to pass over from the house of Saul,  and to raise up the throne of David over Israel, and over  Judah, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba.' 
10O 003:011 And he is not able any more to turn back Abner a word,  because of his fearing him. 
10O 003:012 And Abner sendeth messengers unto David for himself, saying,  `Whose [is] the land?' saying, `Make thy covenant with me, and  lo, my hand [is] with thee, to bring round unto thee all  Israel.' 
10O 003:013 And he saith, `Good -- I make with thee a covenant; only, one  thing I am asking of thee, that is, Thou dost not see my face,  except thou dost first bring in Michal, daughter of Saul in thy  coming into see my face.' 
10O 003:014 And David sendeth messengers unto Ish-Bosheth son of Saul,  saying, `Give up my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself  with a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.' 
10O 003:015 And Ish-Bosheth sendeth, and taketh her from a man, from  Phaltiel son of Laish, 
10O 003:016 and her husband goeth with her, going on and weeping behind  her, unto Bahurim, and Abner saith unto him, `Go, turn back;'  and he turneth back. 
10O 003:017 And the word of Abner was with the elders of Israel,  saying, `Heretofore ye have been seeking David for king over  you, 
10O 003:018 and now, do [it], for Jehovah hath spoken of David saying,  By the hand of David my servant -- to save My people Israel out  of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all  their enemies.' 
10O 003:019 And Abner speaketh also in the ears of Benjamin, and Abner  goeth also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that  [is] good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of all the  house of Benjamin, 
10O 003:020 and Abner cometh in unto David, to Hebron, and with him  twenty men, and David maketh for Abner, and for the men who  [are] with him, a banquet. 
10O 003:021 And Abner saith unto David, `I arise, and go, and gather  unto my lord the king the whole of Israel, and they make with  thee a covenant, and thou hast reigned over all that thy soul  desireth;' and David sendeth away Abner, and he goeth in peace. 
10O 003:022 And lo, the servants of David, and Joab, have come from the  troop, and much spoil have brought with them, and Abner is not  with David in Hebron, for he hath sent him away, and he goeth  in peace; 
10O 003:023 and Joab and all the host that [is] with him have come, and  they declare to Joab, saying, `Abner son of Ner hath come unto  the king, and he sendeth him away, and he goeth in peace.' 
10O 003:024 And Joab cometh unto the king, and saith, `What hast thou  done? lo, Abner hath come unto thee! why [is] this -- thou hast  sent him away, and he is really gone? 
10O 003:025 Thou hast known Abner son of Ner, that to deceive thee he  came, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all  that thou art doing.' 
10O 003:026 And Joab goeth out from David, and sendeth messengers after  Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah, and  David knew not. 
10O 003:027 And Abner turneth back to Hebron, and Joab turneth him  aside unto the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and  smiteth him there in the fifth [rib] -- and he dieth -- for the  blood of Asahel his brother. 
10O 003:028 And David heareth afterwards and saith, `Acquitted [am] I,  and my kingdom, by Jehovah, unto the age, from the blood of  Abner son of Ner; 
10O 003:029 it doth stay on the head of Joab, and on all the house of  his father, and there is not cut off from the house of Joab one  having an issue, and leprous, and laying hold on a staff, and  falling by a sword, and lacking bread.' 
10O 003:030 And Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because that he  put to death Asahel their brother, in Gibeon, in battle. 
10O 003:031 And David saith unto Joab, and unto all the people who  [are] with him, `Rend your garments, and gird on sackcloth, and  mourn before Abner;' and king David is going after the bier. 
10O 003:032 And they bury Abner in Hebron, and the king lifteth up his  voice, and weepeth at the grave of Abner, and all the people  weep; 
10O 003:033 and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: -- `As the  death of a fool doth Abner die? 
10O 003:034 Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought  nigh! As one falling before sons of evil -- Thou hast fallen!'  and all the people add to weep over him. 
10O 003:035 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while  yet day, and David sweareth, saying, `Thus doth God to me, and  thus He doth add, for -- before the going in of the sun, I  taste no bread or any other thing.' 
10O 003:036 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in  their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes  of all the people; 
10O 003:037 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that  it hath not been from the king -- to put to death Abner son of  Ner. 
10O 003:038 And the king saith unto his servants, `Do ye not know that  a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel? 
10O 003:039 and I to-day [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these  men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; Jehovah doth  recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.' 
10O 004:001 And the son of Saul heareth that Abner [is] dead in Hebron,  and his hands are feeble, and all Israel have been troubled. 
10O 004:002 And two men, heads of troops, have been [to] the son of  Saul, the name of the one [is] Baanah, and the name of the  second Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of  Benjamin, for also Beeroth is reckoned to Benjamin, 
10O 004:003 and the Beerothites flee to Gittaim, and are there  sojourners unto this day. 
10O 004:004 And to Jonathan son of Saul [is] a son -- lame; he was a son  of five years at the coming in of the rumour of [the death of]  Saul and Jonathan, out of Jezreel, and his nurse lifteth him  up, and fleeth, and it cometh to pass in her hasting to flee,  that he falleth, and becometh lame, and his name [is]  Mephibosheth. 
10O 004:005 And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah,  go, and come in at the heat of the day unto the house of  Ish-Bosheth, and he is lying down -- the lying down of noon; 
10O 004:006 and thither they have come, unto the midst of the house,  taking wheat, and they smite him unto the fifth [rib], and  Rechab and Baanah his brother have escaped; 
10O 004:007 yea, they come in to the house, and he is lying on his bed,  in the inner part of his bed-chamber, and they smite him, and  put him to death, and turn aside his head, and they take his  head, and go the way of the plain all the night, 
10O 004:008 and bring in the head of Ish-Bosheth unto David in Hebron,  and say unto the king, `Lo, the head of Ish-Bosheth, son of  Saul, thine enemy, who sought thy life; and Jehovah doth give to  my lord the king vengeance this day, of Saul and of his  seed.' 
10O 004:009 And David answereth Rechab and Baanah his brother, sons of  Rimmon the Beerothite, and saith to them, `Jehovah liveth, who  hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity, 
10O 004:010 when one is declaring to me, saying, Lo, Saul is dead, and  he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, then I take hold  on him, and slay him in Ziklag, instead of my giving to him  [for] the tidings. 
10O 004:011 Also -- when wicked men have slain the righteous man in his  own house, on his bed; and now, do not I require his blood of  your hand, and have taken you away from the earth?' 
10O 004:012 And David commandeth the young men, and they slay them, and  cut off their hands and their feet, and hang [them] over the  pool in Hebron, and the head of Ish-Bosheth they have taken,  and bury [it] in the burying-place of Abner in Hebron. 
10O 005:001 And all the tribes of Israel come unto David, to Hebron, and  speak, saying, `Lo, we [are] thy bone and thy flesh; 
10O 005:002 also heretofore, in Saul's being king over us, thou hast  been he who is bringing out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah  saith to thee, Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art  for leader over Israel.' 
10O 005:003 And all the elders of Israel come unto the king, to Hebron,  and king David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before  Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel. 
10O 005:004 A son of thirty years [is] David in his being king; forty  years he hath reigned; 
10O 005:005 in Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months,  and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years, over all  Israel and Judah. 
10O 005:006 And the king goeth, and his men, to Jerusalem, unto the  Jebusite, the inhabitant of the land, and they speak to David,  saying, `Thou dost not come in hither, except thou turn aside  the blind and the lame;' saying, `David doth not come in  hither.' 
10O 005:007 And David captureth the fortress of Zion, it [is] the city  of David. 
10O 005:008 And David saith on that day, `Any one smiting the Jebusite,  (let him go up by the watercourse), and the lame and the  blind -- the hated of David's soul,' -- because the blind and lame  say, `He doth not come into the house.' 
10O 005:009 And David dwelleth in the fortress, and calleth it -- City of  David, and David buildeth round about, from Millo and inward, 
10O 005:010 and David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah,  God of Hosts, [is] with him. 
10O 005:011 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and  cedar-trees, and artificers of wood, and artificers of stone,  for walls, and they build a house for David, 
10O 005:012 and David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for  king over Israel, and that He hath lifted up his kingdom,  because of His people Israel. 
10O 005:013 And David taketh again concubines and wives out of  Jerusalem, after his coming from Hebron, and there are born  again to David sons and daughters. 
10O 005:014 And these [are] the names of those born to him in  Jerusalem: Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon, 
10O 005:015 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 
10O 005:016 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet. 
10O 005:017 And the Philistines hear that they have anointed David for  king over Israel, and all the Philistines come up to seek  David, and David heareth, and goeth down unto the fortress, 
10O 005:018 and the Philistines have come, and are spread out in the  valley of Rephaim. 
10O 005:019 And David asketh of Jehovah, saying, `Do I go up unto the  Philistines? dost Thou give them into my hand?' And Jehovah  saith unto David, `Go up, for I certainly give the Philistines  into thy hand.' 
10O 005:020 And David cometh in to Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them  there, and saith, `Jehovah hath broken forth [on] mine enemies  before me, as the breaking forth of waters;' therefore he hath  called the name of that place Baal-Perazim. 
10O 005:021 And they forsake there their idols, and David and his men  lift them up. 
10O 005:022 And the Philistines add again to come up, and are spread  out in the valley of Rephaim, 
10O 005:023 and David asketh of Jehovah, and He saith, `Thou dost not  go up, turn round unto their rear, and thou hast come to them  over-against the mulberries, 
10O 005:024 and it cometh to pass, in thy hearing the sound of a  stepping in the tops of the mulberries, then thou dost move  sharply, for then hath Jehovah gone out before thee to smite in  the camp of the Philistines.' 
10O 005:025 And David doth so, as Jehovah commanded him, and smiteth  the Philistines from Geba unto thy coming to Gazer. 
10O 006:001 And David gathered again every chosen one in Israel, thirty  thousand, 
10O 006:002 and David riseth and goeth, and all the people who [are]  with him, from Baale-Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God,  whose name hath been called -- the name of Jehovah of Hosts,  inhabiting the cherubs -- upon it. 
10O 006:003 And they cause the ark of God to ride on a new cart, and  lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is] in the  height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new  cart; 
10O 006:004 and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which [is]  in the height, with the ark of God, and Ahio is going before  the ark, 
10O 006:005 and David and all the house of Israel are playing before  Jehovah, with all kinds of [instruments] of fir-wood, even with  harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with  cornets, and with cymbals. 
10O 006:006 And they come unto the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah  putteth forth [his hand] unto the ark of God, and layeth hold  on it, for they released the oxen; 
10O 006:007 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Uzzah, and God  smiteth him there for the error, and he dieth there by the ark  of God. 
10O 006:008 And it is displeasing to David, because that Jehovah hath  broken forth a breach upon Uzzah, and [one] calleth that place  Perez-Uzzah, unto this day; 
10O 006:009 and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth  the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?' 
10O 006:010 And David hath not been willing to turn aside unto himself  the ark of Jehovah, to the city of David, and David turneth it  aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite, 
10O 006:011 and the ark of Jehovah doth inhabit the house of Obed-Edom  the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blesseth Obed-Edom and  all his house. 
10O 006:012 And it is declared to king David, saying, `Jehovah hath  blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath, because  of the ark of God;' and David goeth and bringeth up the ark of  God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with joy. 
10O 006:013 And it cometh to pass, when those bearing the ark of  Jehovah have stepped six steps, that he sacrificeth an ox and a  fatling. 
10O 006:014 And David is dancing with all strength before Jehovah, and  David is girded with a linen ephod, 
10O 006:015 and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the  ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the voice of a trumpet, 
10O 006:016 and it hath come to pass, the ark of Jehovah hath come in  to the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul, hath looked  through the window, and seeth king David moving and dancing  before Jehovah, and despiseth him in her heart. 
10O 006:017 And they bring in the ark of Jehovah, and set it up in its  place, in the midst of the tent which David hath spread out for  it, and David causeth to ascend burnt-offerings before Jehovah,  and peace-offerings. 
10O 006:018 And David finisheth from causing to ascend the  burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the  people in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, 
10O 006:019 and he apportioneth to all the people, to all the multitude  of Israel, from man even unto woman, to each, one cake of  bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go,  each to his house. 
10O 006:020 And David turneth back to bless his house, and Michal  daughter of Saul goeth out to meet David, and saith, `How  honourable to-day was the king of Israel, who was uncovered  to-day before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one  of the vain ones is openly uncovered!' 
10O 006:021 And David saith unto Michal, `-- Before Jehovah, who fixed  on me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me  leader over the people of Jehovah, and over Israel, -- yea, I  played before Jehovah; 
10O 006:022 and I have been more vile than this, and have been low in  mine eyes, and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of,  with them I am honoured.' 
10O 006:023 As to Michal daughter of Saul, she had no child till the  day of her death. 
10O 007:001 And it cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and  Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, from all his  enemies, 
10O 007:002 that the king saith unto Nathan the prophet, `See, I pray  thee, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of God is  dwelling in the midst of the curtain.' 
10O 007:003 And Nathan saith unto the king, `All that [is] in thine  heart -- go, do, for Jehovah [is] with thee.' 
10O 007:004 And it cometh to pass in that night, that the word of  Jehovah is unto Nathan, saying, 
10O 007:005 `Go, and thou hast said unto My servant, unto David, Thus  said Jehovah, Dost thou build for Me a house for My dwelling  in? 
10O 007:006 for I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My  bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this  day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a tabernacle. 
10O 007:007 During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among  all the sons of Israel, a word have I spoken with one of the  tribes of Israel which I commanded to feed my people Israel,  saying, `Why have ye not built to Me a house of cedars? 
10O 007:008 and now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David: `Thus  said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place,  from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel; 
10O 007:009 and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut  off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee  a great name, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the  earth, 
10O 007:010 and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and  have planted it, and it hath tabernacled in its place, and it  is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness do not  add to afflict it any more, as in the beginning, 
10O 007:011 even from the day that I appointed judges over My people  Israel; and I have given rest to thee from all thine enemies,  and Jehovah hath declared to thee that Jehovah doth make for  thee a house. 
10O 007:012 `When thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy  fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth  out from thy bowels, and have established his kingdom; 
10O 007:013 He doth build a house for My Name, and I have established  the throne of his kingdom unto the age. 
10O 007:014 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom  in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of  men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam, 
10O 007:015 and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned  it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee, 
10O 007:016 and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age  before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.' 
10O 007:017 According to all these words, and according to all this  vision, so spake Nathan unto David. 
10O 007:018 And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and  saith, `Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou  hast brought me hitherto? 
10O 007:019 And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and  Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar  off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah. 
10O 007:020 And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou,  Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah. 
10O 007:021 Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast  done all this greatness, to cause Thy servant to know [it]. 
10O 007:022 Therefore Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is  none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, according to all  that we have heard with our ears. 
10O 007:023 `And who [is] as Thy people, as Israel -- one nation in the  earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to  make for Him a name -- and to do for you the greatness -- even  fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom  Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt -- [among the] nations  and their gods? 
10O 007:024 Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee  for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them  for God. 
10O 007:025 `And now, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken  concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto  the age, and do as Thou hast spoken; 
10O 007:026 And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts  [is] God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is  established before Thee, 
10O 007:027 For Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast  uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for  thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto  Thee this prayer; 
10O 007:028 And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thy  words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this  goodness, 
10O 007:029 And now, begin and bless the house of Thy servant, to be  unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken,  and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed -- to the  age.' 
10O 008:001 And it cometh to pass afterwards that David smiteth the  Philistines, and humbleth them, and David taketh the bridle of  the metropolis out of the hand of the Philistines. 
10O 008:002 And he smiteth Moab, and measureth them with a line, causing  them to lie down on the earth, and he measureth two lines to  put to death, and the fulness of the line to keep alive, and  the Moabites are to David for servants, bearers of a present. 
10O 008:003 And David smiteth Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, in  his going to bring back his power by the River [Euphrates;] 
10O 008:004 and David captureth from him a thousand and seven hundred  horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David destroyeth  utterly the whole of the charioteers, only he leaveth of them a  hundred charioteers. 
10O 008:005 And Aram of Damascus cometh to give help to Hadadezer king  of Zobah, and David smiteth of Aram twenty and two thousand  men; 
10O 008:006 and David putteth garrisons in Aram of Damascus, and Aram is  to David for a servant, bearing a present; and Jehovah saveth  David whithersoever he hath gone; 
10O 008:007 and David taketh the shields of gold which were on the  servants of Hadadezer, and bringeth them to Jerusalem; 
10O 008:008 and from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, hath  king David taken very much brass. 
10O 008:009 And Toi king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten all  the force of Hadadezer, 
10O 008:010 and Toi sendeth Joram his son unto king David to ask of him  of welfare, and to bless him, (because that he hath fought  against Hadadezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars [with]  Toi had Hadadezer been), and in his hand have been vessels of  silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass, 
10O 008:011 also them did king David sanctify to Jehovah, with the  silver and the gold which he sanctified of all the nations  which he subdued: 
10O 008:012 of Aram, and of Moab, and of the Bene-Ammon, and of the  Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer son  of Rehob king of Zobah. 
10O 008:013 And David maketh a name in his turning back from his  smiting Aram in the valley of Salt -- eighteen thousand; 
10O 008:014 and he putteth in Edom garrisons -- in all Edom he hath put  garrisons, and all Edom are servants to David; and Jehovah  saveth David whithersoever he hath gone. 
10O 008:015 And David reigneth over all Israel, and David is doing  judgment and righteousness to all his people, 
10O 008:016 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and Jehoshaphat  son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer, 
10O 008:017 and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech son of Abiathar,  [are] priests, and Seraiah [is] scribe, 
10O 008:018 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is over] both the Cherethite  and the Pelethite, and the sons of David have been ministers. 
10O 009:001 And David saith, `Is there yet any left to the house of  Saul, and I do with him kindness because of Jonathan?' 
10O 009:002 And the house of Saul hath a servant, and his name [is]  Ziba, and they call for him unto David; and the king saith unto  him, `Art thou Ziba?' and he saith, `Thy servant.' 
10O 009:003 And the king saith, `Is there not yet a man to the house of  Saul, and I do with him the kindness of God?' And Ziba saith  unto the king, `Jonathan hath yet a son -- lame.' 
10O 009:004 And the king saith to him, `Where [is] he?' and Ziba saith  unto the king, `Lo, he [is] in the house of Machir, son of  Ammiel, in Lo-Debar.' 
10O 009:005 And king David sendeth, and taketh him out of the house of  Machir son of Ammiel, of Lo-Debar, 
10O 009:006 and Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, cometh unto  David, and falleth on his face, and doth obeisance, and David  saith, `Mephibosheth;' and he saith, `Lo, thy servant.' 
10O 009:007 And David saith to him, `Be not afraid; for I certainly do  with thee kindness because of Jonathan thy father, and have  given back to thee all the field of Saul thy father, and thou  dost eat bread at my table continually.' 
10O 009:008 And he boweth himself, and saith, `What [is] thy servant,  that thou hast turned unto the dead dog -- such as I?' 
10O 009:009 And the king calleth unto Ziba servant of Saul, and saith  unto him, `All that was to Saul and to all his house, I have  given to the son of thy lord, 
10O 009:010 and thou hast served for him the land, thou and thy sons,  and thy servants, and hast brought in, and there hath been to  the son of thy lord bread, and he hath eaten it; and  Mephibosheth son of thy lord doth eat continually bread at my  table;' and Ziba hath fifteen sons and twenty servants. 
10O 009:011 And Ziba saith unto the king, `According to all that my  lord the king commandeth his servant, so doth thy servant;' as  to Mephibosheth, `he is eating at my table ([saith the king])  as one of the sons of the king.' 
10O 009:012 And Mephibosheth hath a young son, and his name [is] Micha,  and every one dwelling in the house of Ziba [are] servants to  Mephibosheth. 
10O 009:013 And Mephibosheth is dwelling in Jerusalem, for at the table  of the king he is eating continually, and he [is] lame of his  two feet. 
10O 010:001 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the king of the  Bene-Ammon dieth, and Hanun his son reigneth in his stead, 
10O 010:002 and David saith, `I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash,  as his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth to  comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father,  and the servants of David come in to the land of the  Bene-Ammon. 
10O 010:003 And the heads of the Bene-Ammon say unto Hanun their lord,  `Is David honouring thy father in thine eyes because he hath  sent to thee comforters? for to search the city, and to spy it,  and to overthrow it, hath not David sent his servants unto  thee?' 
10O 010:004 And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth off the  half of their beard, and cutteth off their long robes in the  midst -- unto their buttocks, and sendeth them away; 
10O 010:005 and they declare [it] to David, and he sendeth to meet  them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king  saith, `Abide in Jericho till your beard doth spring up -- then  ye have returned.' 
10O 010:006 And the Bene-Ammon see that they have been abhorred by  David, and the Bene-Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and  Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah  [with] a thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men; 
10O 010:007 and David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host -- the  mighty men. 
10O 010:008 And the Bene-Ammon come out, and set battle in array, at  the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and  Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] by themselves in the field; 
10O 010:009 and Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto  him before and behind, and he chooseth of all the chosen in  Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram, 
10O 010:010 and the rest of the people he hath given into the hand of  Abishai his brother, and setteth in array to meet the  Bene-Ammon. 
10O 010:011 And he saith, `If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast  been to me for salvation, and if the Bene-Ammon be stronger  than thou, then I have come to give salvation to thee; 
10O 010:012 be strong and strengthen thyself for our people, and for  the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in  His eyes.' 
10O 010:013 And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him,  to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence; 
10O 010:014 and the Bene-Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they  flee from the presence of Abishai, and go in to the city; and  Joab turneth back from the Bene-Ammon, and cometh in to  Jerusalem. 
10O 010:015 And Aram seeth that it is smitten before Israel, and they  are gathered together; 
10O 010:016 and Hadadezer sendeth, and bringeth out Aram which [is]  beyond the River, and they come in to Helam, and Shobach head  of the host of Hadadezer [is] before them. 
10O 010:017 And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel,  and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in to Helam, and Aram  setteth itself in array to meet David, and they fight with him; 
10O 010:018 and Aram fleeth from the presence of Israel, and David  slayeth of Aram seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand  horsemen, and Shobach head of its host he hath smitten, and he  dieth there. 
10O 010:019 And all the kings -- servants of Hadadezer -- see that they  have been smitten before Israel, and make peace with Israel,  and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help any more the  Bene-Ammon. 
10O 011:001 And it cometh to pass, at the revolution of the year -- at  the time of the going out of the messengers -- that David sendeth  Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel, and they  destroy the Bene-Ammon, and lay siege against Rabbah. And David  is dwelling in Jerusalem, 
10O 011:002 and it cometh to pass, at evening-time, that David riseth  from off his couch, and walketh up and down on the roof of the  king's house, and seeth from the roof a woman bathing, and the  woman [is] of very good appearance, 
10O 011:003 and David sendeth and inquireth about the woman, and saith,  `Is not this Bath-Sheba, daughter of Eliam, wife of Uriah the  Hittite?' 
10O 011:004 And David sendeth messengers, and taketh her, and she  cometh unto him, and he lieth with her -- and she is purifying  herself from her uncleanness -- and she turneth back unto her  house; 
10O 011:005 and the woman conceiveth, and sendeth, and declareth to  David, and saith, `I [am] conceiving.' 
10O 011:006 And David sendeth unto Joab, `Send unto me Uriah the  Hittite,' and Joab sendeth Uriah unto David; 
10O 011:007 and Uriah cometh unto him, and David asketh of the  prosperity of Joab, and of the prosperity of the people, and of  the prosperity of the war. 
10O 011:008 And David saith to Uriah, `Go down to thy house, and wash  thy feet;' and Uriah goeth out of the king's house, and there  goeth out after him a gift from the king, 
10O 011:009 and Uriah lieth down at the opening of the king's house,  with all the servants of his lord, and hath not gone down unto  his house. 
10O 011:010 And they declare to David, saying, `Uriah hath not gone  down unto his house;' and David saith unto Uriah, `Hast thou  not come from a journey? wherefore hast thou not gone down unto  thy house?' 
10O 011:011 And Uriah saith unto David, `The ark, and Israel, and  Judah, are abiding in booths, and my lord Joab, and the  servants of my lord, on the face of the field are encamping;  and I -- I go in unto my house to eat and to drink, and to lie  with my wife! -- thy life, and the life of thy soul -- if I do this  thing.' 
10O 011:012 And David saith unto Uriah, `Abide in this [place] also  to-day, and to-morrow I send thee away;' and Uriah abideth in  Jerusalem, on that day, and on the morrow, 
10O 011:013 and David calleth for him, and he eateth before him, and  drinketh, and he causeth him to drink, and he goeth out in the  evening to lie on his couch with the servants of his lord, and  unto his house he hath not gone down. 
10O 011:014 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that David writeth a  letter unto Joab, and sendeth by the hand of Uriah; 
10O 011:015 and he writeth in the letter, saying, `Place ye Uriah  over-against the front of the severest battle, and ye have  turned back from after him, and he hath been smitten, and hath  died.' 
10O 011:016 And it cometh to pass in Joab's watching of the city, that  he appointeth Uriah unto the place where he knew that valiant  men [are]; 
10O 011:017 and the men of the city go out and fight with Joab, and  there fall [some] of the people, of the servants of David; and  there dieth also Uriah the Hittite. 
10O 011:018 And Joab sendeth and declareth to David all the matters of  the war, 
10O 011:019 and commandeth the messenger, saying, `At thy finishing  all the matters of the war to speak unto the king, 
10O 011:020 then, it hath been, if the king's fury ascend, and he hath  said to thee, Wherefore did ye draw nigh unto the city to  fight? did ye not know that they shoot from off the wall? 
10O 011:021 Who smote Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman  cast on him a piece of a rider from the wall, and he dieth in  Thebez? why drew ye nigh unto the wall? that thou hast said,  Also thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.' 
10O 011:022 And the messenger goeth, and cometh in, and declareth to  David all that with which Joab sent him, 
10O 011:023 and the messenger saith unto David, `Surely the men have  been mighty against us, and come out unto us into the field,  and we are upon them unto the opening of the gate, 
10O 011:024 and those shooting shoot at thy servants from off the  wall, and [some] of the servants of the king are dead, and  also, thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead. 
10O 011:025 And David saith unto the messenger, `Thus dost thou say  unto Joab, Let not this thing be evil in thine eyes; for thus  and thus doth the sword devour; strengthen thy warfare against  the city, and throw it down -- and strengthen thou him.' 
10O 011:026 And the wife of Uriah heareth that Uriah her husband [is]  dead, and lamenteth for her lord; 
10O 011:027 and the mourning passeth by, and David sendeth and  gathereth her unto his house, and she is to him for a wife, and  beareth to him a son; and the thing which David hath done is  evil in the eyes of Jehovah. 
10O 012:001 And Jehovah sendeth Nathan unto David, and he cometh unto  him, and saith to him: `Two men have been in one city; One rich  and one poor; 
10O 012:002 The rich hath flocks and herds very many; 
10O 012:003 And the poor one hath nothing, Except one little ewe-lamb,  Which he hath bought, and keepeth alive, And it groweth up  with him, And with his sons together; Of his morsel it eateth,  And from his cup it drinketh, And in his bosom it lieth, And it  is to him as a daughter; 
10O 012:004 And there cometh a traveller to the rich man, And he  spareth to take Of his own flock, and of his own herd, To  prepare for the traveller Who hath come to him, And he taketh  the ewe-lamb of the poor man, And prepareth it for the man Who  hath come unto him.' 
10O 012:005 And the anger of David burneth against the man exceedingly,  and he saith unto Nathan, `Jehovah liveth, surely a son of  death [is] the man who is doing this, 
10O 012:006 and the ewe-lamb he doth repay fourfold, because that he  hath done this thing, and because that he had no pity.' 
10O 012:007 And Nathan saith unto David, `Thou [art] the man! Thus said  Jehovah, God of Israel, I anointed thee for king over Israel,  and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; 
10O 012:008 and I give to thee the house of thy lord, and the wives of  thy lord, into thy bosom, and I give to thee the house of  Israel and of Judah; and if little, then I add to thee such and  such [things]. 
10O 012:009 `Wherefore hast thou despised the word of Jehovah, to do  the evil thing in His eyes? Uriah the Hittite thou hast smitten  by the sword, and his wife thou hast taken to thee for a wife,  and him thou hast slain by the sword of the Bene-Ammon. 
10O 012:010 `And now, the sword doth not turn aside from thy house  unto the age, because thou hast despised Me, and dost take the  wife of Uriah the Hittite to be to thee for a wife; 
10O 012:011 thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am raising up against thee evil,  out of thy house, and have taken thy wives before thine eyes,  and given to thy neighbour, and he hath lain with thy wives  before the eyes of this sun; 
10O 012:012 for thou hast done [it] in secret, and I do this thing  before all Israel, and before the sun.' 
10O 012:013 And David saith unto Nathan, `I have sinned against  Jehovah.' And Nathan saith unto David, `Also -- Jehovah hath  caused thy sin to pass away; thou dost not die; 
10O 012:014 only, because thou hast caused the enemies of Jehovah  greatly to despise by this thing, also the son who is born to  thee doth surely die.' 
10O 012:015 And Nathan goeth unto his house, and Jehovah smiteth the  lad, whom the wife of Uriah hath born to David, and it is  incurable; 
10O 012:016 and David seeketh God for the youth, and David keepeth a  fast, and hath gone in and lodged, and lain on the earth. 
10O 012:017 And the elders of his house rise against him, to raise him  up from the earth, and he hath not been willing, nor hath he  eaten with them bread; 
10O 012:018 and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the lad  dieth, and the servants of David fear to declare to him that  the lad is dead, for they said, `Lo, in the lad being alive we  spake unto him, and he did not hearken to our voice; and how do  we say unto him, The lad is dead? -- then he hath done evil.' 
10O 012:019 And David seeth that his servants are whispering, and  David understandeth that the lad is dead, and David saith unto  his servants, `Is the lad dead?' and they say, `Dead.' 
10O 012:020 And David riseth from the earth, and doth bathe and anoint  [himself], and changeth his raiment, and cometh in to the house  of Jehovah, and boweth himself, and cometh unto his house, and  asketh and they place for him bread, and he eateth. 
10O 012:021 And his servants say unto him, `What [is] this thing thou  hast done? because of the living lad thou hast fasted and dost  weep, and when the lad is dead thou hast risen and dost eat  bread.' 
10O 012:022 And he saith, `While the lad is alive I have fasted, and  weep, for I said, Who knoweth? -- Jehovah doth pity me, and the  lad hath lived; 
10O 012:023 and now, he hath died, why [is] this -- I fast? am I able to  bring him back again? I am going unto him, and he doth not turn  back unto me.' 
10O 012:024 And David comforteth Bath-Sheba his wife, and goeth in  unto her, and lieth with her, and she beareth a son, and he  calleth his name Solomon; and Jehovah hath loved him, 
10O 012:025 and sendeth by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and calleth  his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah. 
10O 012:026 And Joab fighteth against Rabbah of the Bene-Ammon, and  captureth the royal city, 
10O 012:027 and Joab sendeth messengers unto David, and saith, `I have  fought against Rabbah -- also I have captured the city of waters; 
10O 012:028 and now, gather the rest of the people, and encamp against  the city, and capture it, lest I capture the city, and my name  hath been called upon it.' 
10O 012:029 And David gathereth all the people, and goeth to Rabbah,  and fighteth against it, and captureth it; 
10O 012:030 and he taketh the crown of their king from off his head,  and its weight [is] a talent of gold, and precious stones, and  it is on the head of David; and the spoil of the city he hath  brought out, very much; 
10O 012:031 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and  setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to  axes of iron, and hath caused them to pass over into the  brick-kiln; and so he doth to all the cities of the Bene-Ammon;  and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem. 
10O 013:001 And it cometh to pass afterwards that Absalom son of David  hath a fair sister, and her name [is] Tamar, and Amnon son of  David loveth her. 
10O 013:002 And Amnon hath distress -- even to become sick, because of  Tamar his sister, for she [is] a virgin, and it is hard in the  eyes of Amnon to do anything to her. 
10O 013:003 And Amnon hath a friend, and his name [is] Jonadab, son of  Shimeah, David's brother, and Jonadab [is] a very wise man, 
10O 013:004 and saith to him, `Wherefore [art] thou thus lean, O king's  son, morning by morning? dost thou not declare to me?' And Amnon  saith to him, `Tamar -- sister of Absalom my brother -- I am  loving.' 
10O 013:005 And Jonadab saith to him, `Lie down on thy couch, and feign  thyself sick, and thy father hath come in to see thee, and thou  hast said unto him, `Let, I pray thee, Tamar my sister come in  and give me bread to eat; and she hath made the food before  mine eyes so that I see [it], and have eaten from her hand.' 
10O 013:006 And Amnon lieth down, and feigneth himself sick, and the  king cometh in to see him, and Amnon saith unto the king, `Let,  I pray thee, Tamar my sister come, and she maketh before mine  eyes two cakes, and I eat from her hand.' 
10O 013:007 And David sendeth unto Tamar, to the house, saying, `Go, I  pray thee, to the house of Amnon thy brother, and make for him  food.' 
10O 013:008 And Tamar goeth to the house of Amnon her brother, and he  is lying down, and she taketh the dough, and kneadeth, and  maketh cakes before his eyes, and cooketh the cakes, 
10O 013:009 and taketh the frying-pan, and poureth out before him, and  he refuseth to eat, and Amnon saith, `Take ye out every one  from me;' and they go out every one from him. 
10O 013:010 And Amnon saith unto Tamar, `Bring the food into the inner  chamber, and I eat from thy hand;' and Tamar taketh the cakes  that she hath made, and bringeth in to Amnon her brother, into  the inner chamber, 
10O 013:011 and she bringeth nigh unto him to eat, and he layeth hold  on her, and saith to her, `Come, lie with me, my sister.' 
10O 013:012 And she saith to him, `Nay, my brother, do not humble me,  for it is not done so in Israel; do not this folly. 
10O 013:013 And I -- whither do I cause my reproach to go? and  thou -- thou art as one of the fools in Israel; and now, speak, I  pray thee, unto the king; for he doth not withhold me from  thee.' 
10O 013:014 And he hath not been willing to hearken to her voice, and  is stronger than she, and humbleth her, and lieth with her. 
10O 013:015 And Amnon hateth her -- a very great hatred -- that greater  [is] the hatred with which he hath hated her than the love with  which he loved her, and Amnon saith to her, `Rise, go.' 
10O 013:016 And she saith to him, `Because of the circumstances this  evil is greater than the other that thou hast done with me -- to  send me away;' and he hath not been willing to hearken to her, 
10O 013:017 and calleth his young man, his servant, and saith, `Send  away, I pray thee, this one from me without, and bolt the door  after her;' 
10O 013:018 -- and upon her [is] a long coat, for such upper robes do  daughters of the king who [are] virgins put on, -- and his  servant taketh her out without, and hath bolted the door after  her. 
10O 013:019 And Tamar taketh ashes for her head, and the long coat  that [is] on her she hath rent, and putteth her hand on her  head, and goeth, going on and crying; 
10O 013:020 and Absalom her brother saith unto her, `Hath Amnon thy  brother been with thee? and now, my sister, keep silent, he  [is] thy brother; set not thy heart to this thing;' and Tamar  dwelleth -- but desolate -- in the house of Absalom her brother. 
10O 013:021 And king David hath heard all these things, and it is very  displeasing to him; 
10O 013:022 and Absalom hath not spoken with Amnon either evil or  good, for Absalom is hating Amnon, because that he humbled  Tamar his sister. 
10O 013:023 And it cometh to pass, after two years of days, that  Absalom hath shearers in Baal-Hazor, which [is] with Ephraim,  and Absalom calleth for all the sons of the king. 
10O 013:024 And Absalom cometh unto the king, and saith, `Lo, I pray  thee, thy servant hath shearers, let the king go, I pray thee,  and his servants, with thy servant.' 
10O 013:025 And the king saith unto Absalom, `Nay, my son, let us not  all go, I pray thee, and we are not too heavy on thee;' and he  presseth on him, and he hath not been willing to go, and he  blesseth him. 
10O 013:026 And Absalom saith, `If not -- let, I pray thee, Amnon my  brother go with us;' and the king saith to him, `Why doth he go  with thee?' 
10O 013:027 and Absalom urgeth on him, and he sendeth with him Amnon,  and all the sons of the king. 
10O 013:028 And Absalom commandeth his young men, saying, `See, I pray  thee, when the heart of Amnon [is] glad with wine, and I have  said unto you, Smite Amnon, that ye have put him to death; fear  not; is it not because I have commanded you? be strong, yea,  become sons of valour.' 
10O 013:029 And the young men of Absalom do to Amnon as Absalom  commanded, and rise do all the sons of the king, and they ride,  each on his mule, and flee. 
10O 013:030 And it cometh to pass -- they [are] in the way -- and the  report hath come unto David, saying, `Absalom hath smitten all  the sons of the king, and there is not left of them one;' 
10O 013:031 and the king riseth, and rendeth his garments, and lieth  on the earth, and all his servants are standing by [with] rent  garments. 
10O 013:032 And Jonadab son of Shimeah, David's brother, answereth and  saith, `Let not my lord say, The whole of the young men, the  sons of the king, they have put to death; for Amnon alone [is]  dead, for by the command of Absalom it hath been appointed from  the day of his humbling Tamar his sister; 
10O 013:033 and now, let not my lord the king lay unto his heart the  word, saying, All the sons of the king have died, for Amnon  alone [is] dead.' 
10O 013:034 And Absalom fleeth, and the young man who is watching  lifteth up his eyes and looketh, and lo, much people are coming  by the way behind him, on the side of the hill. 
10O 013:035 And Jonadab saith unto the king, `Lo, the sons of the king  have come; as the word of thy servant, so it hath been.' 
10O 013:036 And it cometh to pass at his finishing to speak, that lo,  the sons of the king have come, and they lift up their voice,  and weep, and also the king and all his servants have wept -- a  very great weeping. 
10O 013:037 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth unto Talmai, son of  Ammihud, king of Geshur, and [David] mourneth for his son all  the days. 
10O 013:038 And Absalom hath fled, and goeth to Geshur, and is there  three years; 
10O 013:039 and [the soul of] king David determineth to go out unto  Absalom, for he hath been comforted for Amnon, for [he is]  dead. 
10O 014:001 And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king  [is] on Absalom, 
10O 014:002 and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman,  and saith unto her, `Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and  put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not  thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days  mourning for the dead, 
10O 014:003 and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him,  according to this word;' and Joab putteth the words into her  mouth. 
10O 014:004 And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth  on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, `Save,  O king.' 
10O 014:005 And the king saith to her, `What -- to thee?' and she saith,  `Truly a widow woman [am] I, and my husband dieth, 
10O 014:006 and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of  them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and  the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death; 
10O 014:007 and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy  maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and  we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath  slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my  coal which is left -- so as not to set to my husband a name and  remnant on the face of the ground.' 
10O 014:008 And the king saith unto the woman, `Go to thine house, and  I give charge concerning thee.' 
10O 014:009 And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, `On me, my  lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father;  and the king and his throne [are] innocent.' 
10O 014:010 And the king saith, `He who speaketh [aught] unto thee,  and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any  more to come against thee.' 
10O 014:011 And she saith, `Let, I pray thee, the king remember by  Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy,  and they destroy not my son;' and he saith, `Jehovah liveth; if  there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.' 
10O 014:012 And the woman saith, `Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant  speak unto my lord the king a word;' and he saith, `Speak.' 
10O 014:013 And the woman saith, `And why hast thou thought thus  concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this  thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back  his outcast; 
10O 014:014 for we do surely die, and [are] as water which is running  down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not  accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast  is not outcast by Him. 
10O 014:015 `And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord  this word, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and thy  maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king;  it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid, 
10O 014:016 for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of  the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together  out of the inheritance of God, 
10O 014:017 and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of  my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is]  my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and  Jehovah thy God is with thee.' 
10O 014:018 And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, `Do not,  I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;' and  the woman saith, `Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.' 
10O 014:019 And the king saith, `Is the hand of Joab with thee in all  this?' And the woman answereth and saith, `Thy soul liveth, my  lord, O king, none [doth turn] to the right or to the left from  all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he  commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all  these words; 
10O 014:020 in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath  thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord [is] wise,  according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that  [is] in the land.' 
10O 014:021 And the king saith unto Joab, `Lo, I pray thee, thou hast  done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.' 
10O 014:022 And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth  obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, `To-day hath  thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my  lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his  servant.' 
10O 014:023 And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in  Absalom to Jerusalem, 
10O 014:024 and the king saith, `Let him turn round unto his house,  and my face he doth not see.' And Absalom turneth round unto  his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen. 
10O 014:025 And like Absalom there was no man [so] fair in all Israel,  to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his  crown there was no blemish in him; 
10O 014:026 and in his polling his head -- and it hath been at the end  of year by year that he polleth [it], for it [is] heavy on him,  and he hath polled it -- he hath even weighed out the hair of his  head -- two hundred shekels by the king's weight. 
10O 014:027 And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one  daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of a fair  appearance. 
10O 014:028 And Absalom dwelleth in Jerusalem two years of days, and  the face of the king he hath not seen; 
10O 014:029 and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king,  and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth  again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come. 
10O 014:030 And he saith unto his servants, `See, the portion of Joab  [is] by the side of mine, and he hath barley there; go, and  burn it with fire;' and the servants of Absalom burn the  portion with fire. 
10O 014:031 And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and  saith unto him, `Why have thy servants burned the portion that  I have with fire?' 
10O 014:032 And Absalom saith unto Joab, `Lo, I sent unto thee,  saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why  have I come in from Geshur? -- good for me while I [am]  there -- and now, let me see the king's face, and if there is in  me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.' 
10O 014:033 And Joab cometh unto the king, and declareth [it] to him,  and he calleth unto Absalom, and he cometh unto the king, and  boweth himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the  king, and the king giveth a kiss to Absalom. 
10O 015:001 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Absalom prepareth  for himself a chariot, and horses, and fifty men are running  before him; 
10O 015:002 and Absalom hath risen early, and stood by the side of the  way of the gate, and it cometh to pass, every man who hath a  pleading to come unto the king for judgment, that Absalom  calleth unto him, and saith, `Of what city [art] thou?' and he  saith, `Of one of the tribes of Israel [is] thy servant.' 
10O 015:003 And Absalom saith unto him, `See, thy matters [are] good  and straightforward -- and there is none hearkening to thee from  the king.' 
10O 015:004 And Absalom saith, `Who doth make me a judge in the land,  that unto me doth come every man who hath a plea and  judgment? -- then I have declared him righteous.' 
10O 015:005 And it hath come to pass, in the drawing nearing of any one  to bow himself to him, that he hath put forth his hand, and  laid hold on him, and given a kiss to him; 
10O 015:006 and Absalom doth according to this thing to all Israel who  come in for judgment unto the king, and Absalom stealeth the  heart of the men of Israel. 
10O 015:007 And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty years, that  Absalom saith unto the king, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I  complete my vow, that I vowed to Jehovah in Hebron, 
10O 015:008 for a vow hath thy servant vowed in my dwelling in Geshur,  in Aram, saying, If Jehovah doth certainly bring me back to  Jerusalem, then I have served Jehovah.' 
10O 015:009 And the king saith to him, `Go in peace;' and he riseth and  goeth to Hebron, 
10O 015:010 and Absalom sendeth spies through all the tribes of  Israel, saying, `At your hearing the voice of the trumpet, then  ye have said, Absalom hath reigned in Hebron.' 
10O 015:011 And with Absalom have gone two hundred men, out of  Jerusalem, invited ones, and they are going in their  simplicity, and have not known anything; 
10O 015:012 and Absalom sendeth Ahithophel the Gilonite, a counsellor  of David, out of his city, out of Gilo, in his sacrificing  sacrifices; and the conspiracy is strong, and the people are  going and increasing with Absalom. 
10O 015:013 And he who is declaring tidings cometh in unto David,  saying, `The heart of the men of Israel hath been after  Absalom.' 
10O 015:014 And David saith to all his servants who [are] with him in  Jerusalem, `Rise, and we flee, for we have no escape from the  face of Absalom; haste to go, lest he hasten, and have  overtaken us, and forced on us evil, and smitten the city by  the mouth of the sword.' 
10O 015:015 And the servants of the king say unto the king, `According  to all that my lord the king chooseth -- lo, thy servants [do].' 
10O 015:016 And the king goeth out, and all his household at his feet,  and the king leaveth ten women -- concubines -- to keep the house. 
10O 015:017 And the king goeth out, and all the people at his feet,  and they stand still at the farthest off house. 
10O 015:018 And all his servants are passing on at his side, and all  the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittites,  six hundred men who came at his feet from Gath, are passing on  at the front of the king. 
10O 015:019 And the king saith unto Ittai the Gittite, `Why dost thou  go -- thou also -- with us? turn back -- and abide with the king, for  thou [art] a stranger, and also an exile thou -- to thy place. 
10O 015:020 Yesterday [is] thy coming in, and to-day I move thee to go  with us, and I am going on that which I am going! -- turn back,  and take back thy brethren with thee, -- kindness and truth.' 
10O 015:021 And Ittai answereth the king and saith, `Jehovah liveth,  and my lord the king liveth, surely in the place where my lord  the king is -- if for death, if for life, surely there is thy  servant.' 
10O 015:022 And David saith unto Ittai, `Go and pass over;' and Ittai  the Gittite passeth over, and all his men, and all the infants  who [are] with him. 
10O 015:023 And all the land are weeping -- a great voice, and all the  people are passing over; and the king is passing over through  the brook Kidron, and all the people are passing over on the  front of the way of the wilderness; 
10O 015:024 and lo, also Zadok, and all the Levites with him, bearing  the ark of the covenant of God, and they make the ark of God  firm, and Abiathar goeth up, till the completion of all the  people to pass over out of the city. 
10O 015:025 And the king saith to Zadok, `Take back the ark of God to  the city; if I find grace in the eyes of Jehovah, then He hath  brought me back, and shewn me it and His habitation; 
10O 015:026 and if thus He say, I have not delighted in thee; here  [am] I, He doth to me as [is] good in His eyes.' 
10O 015:027 And the king saith unto Zadok the priest, `Art thou a  seer? turn back to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz thy son, and  Jonathan son of Abiathar, your two sons with you; 
10O 015:028 see ye, I am tarrying in the plains of the wilderness till  the coming in of a word from you to declare to me.' 
10O 015:029 And Zadok taketh back -- and Abiathar -- the ark of God to  Jerusalem, and they abide there. 
10O 015:030 And David is going up in the ascent of the olives, going  up and weeping, and he hath the head covered, and he is going  barefooted, and all the people who [are] with him have covered  each his head, and have gone up, going up and weeping; 
10O 015:031 and David declared, saying, `Ahithophel [is] among the  conspirators with Absalom;' and David saith, `Make foolish, I  pray Thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Jehovah.' 
10O 015:032 And it cometh to pass, David hath come unto the top, where  he boweth himself to God, and lo, to meet him [is] Hushai the  Archite, his coat rent, and earth on his head; 
10O 015:033 and David saith to him, `If thou hast passed on with me  then thou hast been on me for a burden, 
10O 015:034 and if to the city thou dost turn back, and hast said to  Absalom, Thy servant I am, O king; servant of thy father I [am]  also hitherto, and now, I [am] also thy servant; then thou hast  made void for me the counsel of Ahithophel; 
10O 015:035 and are there not with thee there Zadok and Abiathar the  priests? and it hath been, the whole of the matter that thou  hearest from the house of the king thou dost declare to Zadok  and to Abiathar the priests. 
10O 015:036 Lo, there with them [are] their two sons, Ahimaaz to  Zadok, and Jonathan to Abiathar, and ye have sent by their hand  unto me anything that ye hear.' 
10O 015:037 And Hushai, David's friend, cometh in to the city, and  Absalom cometh in to Jerusalem. 
10O 016:001 And David hath passed on a little from the top, and lo,  Ziba, servant of Mephibosheth -- to meet him, and a couple of  asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves, and a hundred  bunches of raisins, and a hundred [of] summer-fruit, and a  bottle of wine. 
10O 016:002 And the king saith unto Ziba, `What -- these to thee?' and  Ziba saith, `The asses for the household of the king to ride  on, and the bread and the summer-fruit for the young men to  eat, and the wine for the wearied to drink in the wilderness.' 
10O 016:003 And the king saith, `And where [is] the son of thy lord?'  and Ziba saith unto the king, `Lo, he is abiding in Jerusalem,  for he said, To-day do the house of Israel give back to me the  kingdom of my father.' 
10O 016:004 And the king saith to Ziba, `Lo, thine [are] all that  Mephibosheth hath;' and Ziba saith, `I have bowed myself -- I  find grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king.' 
10O 016:005 And king David hath come in unto Bahurim, and lo, thence a  man is coming out, of the family of the house of Saul, and his  name [is] Shimei, son of Gera, he cometh out, coming out and  reviling; 
10O 016:006 and he stoneth David with stones, and all the servants of  king David, and all the people, and all the mighty men on his  right and on his left. 
10O 016:007 And thus said Shimei in his reviling, `Go out, go out, O  man of blood, and man of worthlessness! 
10O 016:008 Jehovah hath turned back on thee all the blood of the house  of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned, and Jehovah doth  give the kingdom in to the hand of Absalom thy son; and lo,  thou [art] in thine evil, for a man of blood thou [art].' 
10O 016:009 And Abishai son of Zeruiah saith unto the king, `Why doth  this dead dog revile my lord the king? let me pass over, I pray  thee, and I turn aside his head.' 
10O 016:010 And the king saith, `What -- to me and to you, O sons of  Zeruiah? for -- let him revile; even because Jehovah hath said to  him, Revile David; and who saith, Wherefore hast Thou done so?' 
10O 016:011 And David saith unto Abishai, and unto all his servants,  `Lo, my son who came out of my bowels is seeking my life, and  also surely now the Benjamite; leave him alone, and let him  revile, for Jehovah hath said [so] to him; 
10O 016:012 it may be Jehovah doth look on mine affliction, and  Jehovah hath turned back to me good for his reviling this day.' 
10O 016:013 And David goeth with his men in the way, and Shimei is  going at the side of the hill over-against him, going on, and  he revileth, and stoneth with stones over-against him, and hath  dusted with dust. 
10O 016:014 And the king cometh in, and all the people who [are] with  him, wearied, and they are refreshed there. 
10O 016:015 And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, have  come in to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him, 
10O 016:016 and it cometh to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's  friend, hath come unto Absalom, that Hushai saith unto Absalom,  `Let the king live! let the king live!' 
10O 016:017 And Absalom saith unto Hushai, `This thy kindness with thy  friend! why hast thou not gone with thy friend?' 
10O 016:018 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, `Nay, for he whom Jehovah  hath chosen, and this people, even all the men of Israel, his I  am, and with him I abide; 
10O 016:019 and secondly, for whom do I labour? is it not before his  son? as I served before thy father so am I before thee.' 
10O 016:020 And Absalom saith unto Ahithophel, `Give for you counsel  what we do.' 
10O 016:021 And Ahithophel saith unto Absalom, `Go in unto the  concubines of thy father, whom he left to keep the house, and  all Israel hath heard that thou hast been abhorred by thy  father, and the hands of all who [are] with thee have been  strong.' 
10O 016:022 And they spread out for Absalom the tent on the roof, and  Absalom goeth in unto the concubines of his father before the  eyes of all Israel. 
10O 016:023 And the counsel of Ahithophel which he counselled in those  days [is] as [when] one inquireth at the word of God; so [is]  all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom. 
10O 017:001 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, `Let me choose, I pray  thee, twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David  to-night, 
10O 017:002 and come upon him, and he weary and feeble-handed, and I  have caused him to tremble, and all the people have fled who  [are] with him, and I have smitten the king by himself, 
10O 017:003 and I bring back all the people unto thee -- as the turning  back of the whole [is] the man whom thou art seeking -- all the  people are peace. 
10O 017:004 And the thing is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the  eyes of all the elders of Israel. 
10O 017:005 And Absalom saith, `Call, I pray thee, also for Hushai the  Archite, and we hear what [is] in his mouth -- even he.' 
10O 017:006 And Hushai cometh in unto Absalom, and Absalom speaketh  unto him, saying, `According to this word hath Ahithophel  spoken; do we do his word? if not, thou -- speak thou.' 
10O 017:007 And Hushai saith unto Absalom, `Not good [is] the counsel  that Ahithophel hath counselled at this time.' 
10O 017:008 And Hushai saith, `Thou hast known thy father and his men,  that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a  bereaved bear in a field, and thy father [is] a man of war, and  doth not lodge with the people; 
10O 017:009 lo, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the  places, and it hath been, at the falling among them at the  commencement, that the hearer hath heard, and said, There hath  been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom; 
10O 017:010 and he also, the son of valour, whose heart [is] as the  heart of the lion, doth utterly melt, for all Israel doth know  that thy father is a hero, and sons of valour [are] those with  him. 
10O 017:011 `So that I have counselled: Let all Israel be diligently  gathered unto thee, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, as the sand  that [is] by the sea for multitude, and thou thyself art going  in the midst; 
10O 017:012 and we have come in unto him in one of the places where he  is found, and we [are] upon him as the dew falleth on the  ground, and there hath not been left of him and of all the men  who [are] with him even one. 
10O 017:013 And if unto a city he is gathered, then they have caused  all Israel to bear unto that city ropes, and we have drawn it  unto the brook till that there hath not been found there even a  stone.' 
10O 017:014 And Absalom saith -- and all the men of Israel -- `Better [is]  the counsel of Hushai the Archite than the counsel of  Ahithophel;' and Jehovah willed to make void the good counsel  of Ahithophel for the sake of Jehovah's bringing unto Absalom  the evil. 
10O 017:015 And Hushai saith unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the priests,  `Thus and thus hath Ahithophel counselled Absalom and the  elders of Israel, and thus and thus I have counselled; 
10O 017:016 and now, send hastily, and declare to David, saying, Lodge  not to-night in the plains of the wilderness, and also,  certainly pass over, lest there be a swallowing up of the king  and of all the people who are with him.' 
10O 017:017 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the  maid-servant hath gone and declared to them -- and they go and  have declared [it] to king David -- for they are not able to be  seen to go in to the city. 
10O 017:018 And a youth seeth them, and declareth to Absalom; and they  go on both of them hastily, and come in unto the house of a man  in Bahurim, and he hath a well in his court, and they go down  there, 
10O 017:019 and the woman taketh and spreadeth the covering over the  face of the well, and spreadeth on it the ground corn, and the  thing hath not been known. 
10O 017:020 And the servants of Absalom come in unto the woman to the  house, and say, `Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?' and the  woman saith to them, `They passed over the brook of water;' and  they seek, and have not found, and turn back to Jerusalem. 
10O 017:021 And it cometh to pass, after their going on, that they  come up out of the well, and go and declare to king David, and  say unto David, `Rise ye, and pass over hastily the waters, for  thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.' 
10O 017:022 And David riseth, and all the people who [are] with him,  and they pass over the Jordan, till the light of the morning,  till one hath not been lacking who hath not passed over the  Jordan. 
10O 017:023 And Ahithophel hath seen that his counsel was not done,  and he saddleth the ass, and riseth and goeth unto his house,  unto his city, and giveth charge unto his household, and  strangleth himself, and dieth, and he is buried in the  burying-place of his father. 
10O 017:024 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the  Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him; 
10O 017:025 and Amasa hath Absalom set instead of Joab over the host,  and Amasa [is] a man's son whose name is Ithra the Israelite  who hath gone in unto Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of  Zeruiah, mother of Joab; 
10O 017:026 and Israel encampeth with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead. 
10O 017:027 And it cometh to pass at the coming in of David to  Mahanaim, that Shobi, son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the  Bene-Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Lo-Debar, and  Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim, 
10O 017:028 couch, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and  barley, and flour, and roasted [corn], and beans, and lentiles,  and roasted [pulse], 
10O 017:029 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, have  brought nigh for David, and for the people who [are] with him  to eat, for they said, `Thy people [is] hungry, and weary, and  thirsty, in the wilderness.' 
10O 018:001 And David inspecteth the people who [are] with him, and  setteth over them heads of thousands and heads of hundreds, 
10O 018:002 and David sendeth the third of the people by the hand of  Joab, and the third by the hand of Abishai, son of Zeruiah,  brother of Joab, and the third by the hand of Ittai the  Gittite, and the king saith unto the people, `I certainly go  out -- I also -- with you.' 
10O 018:003 And the people say, `Thou dost not go out, for if we  utterly flee, they do not set [their] heart upon us; and if  half of us die, they do not set [their] heart unto us -- for now  like us [are] ten thousand; and now, better that thou be to us  from the city for an helper.' 
10O 018:004 And the king saith unto them, `That which is good in your  eyes I do;' and the king standeth at the side of the gate, and  all the people have gone out by hundreds and by thousands, 
10O 018:005 and the king chargeth Joab, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying,  `Gently -- for me, for the youth, for Absalom;' and all the  people heard in the king's charging all the heads concerning  Absalom. 
10O 018:006 And the people goeth out into the field to meet Israel, and  the battle is in a forest of Ephraim; 
10O 018:007 and smitten there are the people of Israel before the  servants of David, and the smiting there is great on that  day -- twenty thousand; 
10O 018:008 and the battle is there scattered over the face of all the  land, and the forest multiplieth to devour among the people  more than those whom the sword hath devoured in that day. 
10O 018:009 And Absalom meeteth before the servants of David, and  Absalom is riding on the mule, and the mule cometh in under an  entangled bough of the great oak, and his head taketh hold on  the oak, and he is placed between the heavens and the earth,  and the mule that [is] under him hath passed on. 
10O 018:010 And one man seeth, and declareth to Joab, and saith, `Lo,  I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.' 
10O 018:011 And Joab saith to the man who is declaring [it] to him,  `And lo, thou hast seen -- and wherefore didst thou not smite him  there to the earth -- and on me to give to thee ten silverlings  and one girdle?' 
10O 018:012 And the man saith unto Joab, `Yea, though I am weighing on  my hand a thousand silverlings, I do not put forth my hand unto  the son of the king; for in our ears hath the king charged  thee, and Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Observe ye who [is]  against the youth -- against Absalom; 
10O 018:013 or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter  is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself  over-against.' 
10O 018:014 And Joab saith, `Not right -- I tarry before thee;' and he  taketh three darts in his hand, and striketh them into the  heart of Absalom, while he [is] alive, in the midst of the oak. 
10O 018:015 And they go round -- ten youths bearing weapons of Joab -- and  smite Absalom, and put him to death. 
10O 018:016 And Joab bloweth with a trumpet, and the people turneth  back from pursuing after Israel, for Joab hath kept back the  people; 
10O 018:017 and they take Absalom and cast him in the forest unto the  great pit, and set up over him a very great heap of stones, and  all Israel have fled -- each to his tent. 
10O 018:018 And Absalom hath taken, and setteth up for himself in his  life, the standing-pillar that [is] in the king's valley, for  he said, `I have no son to cause my name to be remembered;' and  he calleth the standing-pillar by his own name, and it is  called `The monument of Absalom' unto this day. 
10O 018:019 And Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, `Let me run, I pray thee,  and I bear the king tidings, for Jehovah hath delivered him out  of the hand of his enemies;' 
10O 018:020 and Joab saith to him, `Thou art not a man of tidings this  day, but thou hast borne tidings on another day, and this day  thou dost not bear tidings, because the king's son [is] dead.' 
10O 018:021 And Joab saith to Cushi, `Go, declare to the king that  which thou hast seen;' and Cushi boweth himself to Joab, and  runneth. 
10O 018:022 And Ahimaaz son of Zadok addeth again, and saith unto  Joab, `And whatever it be, let me run, I pray thee, I also,  after the Cushite.' And Joab saith, `Why [is] this -- thou art  running, my son, and for thee there are no tidings found?' -- 
10O 018:023 `And, whatever it be, [said he,] let me run.' And he saith  to him, `Run;' and Ahimaaz runneth the way of the circuit, and  passeth by the Cushite. 
10O 018:024 And David is sitting between the two gates, and the  watchman goeth unto the roof of the gate, unto the wall, and  lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, a man running by  himself. 
10O 018:025 And the watchman calleth, and declareth to the king, and  the king saith, `If by himself, tidings [are] in his mouth;'  and he cometh, coming on and drawing near. 
10O 018:026 And the watchman seeth another man running, and the  watchman calleth unto the gatekeeper, and saith, `Lo, a man  running by himself;' and the king saith, `Also this one is  bearing tidings.' 
10O 018:027 And the watchman saith, `I see the running of the first as  the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.' And the king saith, `This  [is] a good man, and with good tidings he cometh.' 
10O 018:028 And Ahimaaz calleth and saith unto the king, `Peace;' and  he boweth himself to the king, on his face, to the earth, and  saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah thy God who hath shut up the men  who lifted up their hand against my lord the king.' 
10O 018:029 And the king saith, `Peace to the youth -- to Absalom?' And  Ahimaaz saith, `I saw the great multitude, at the sending away  of the servant of the king, even thy servant [by] Joab, and I  have not known what [it is].' 
10O 018:030 And the king saith, `Turn round, station thyself here;'  and he turneth round and standeth still. 
10O 018:031 And lo, the Cushite hath come, and the Cushite saith,  `Let tidings be proclaimed, my lord, O king; for Jehovah hath  delivered thee to-day out of the hand of all those rising up  against thee.' 
10O 018:032 And the king saith unto the Cushite, `Peace to the  youth -- to Absalom?' And the Cushite saith, `Let them be -- as the  youth -- the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen  up against thee for evil.' 
10O 018:033 And the king trembleth, and goeth up on the upper chamber  of the gate, and weepeth, and thus he hath said in his going,  `My son! Absalom my son; my son Absalom; oh that I had died for  thee, Absalom, my son, my son.' 
10O 019:001 And it is declared to Joab, `Lo, the king is weeping and  mourning for Absalom;' 
10O 019:002 and the salvation on that day becometh mourning to all the  people, for the people hath heard on that day, saying, `The  king hath been grieved for his son.' 
10O 019:003 And the people stealeth away, on that day, to go in to the  city, as the people steal away, who are ashamed, in their  fleeing in battle; 
10O 019:004 and the king hath covered his face, yea, the king crieth -- a  loud voice -- `My son Absalom, Absalom, my son, my son.' 
10O 019:005 And Joab cometh in unto the king to the house, and saith,  `Thou hast put to shame to-day the faces of all thy servants,  those delivering thy life to-day, and the life of thy sons, and  of thy daughters, and the life of thy wives, and the life of  thy concubines, 
10O 019:006 to love thine enemies, and to hate those loving thee, for  thou hast declared to-day that thou hast no princes and  servants, for I have known to-day that if Absalom [were] alive,  and all of us to-day dead, that then it were right in thine  eyes. 
10O 019:007 `And now, rise, go out and speak unto the heart of thy  servants, for by Jehovah I have sworn, that -- thou art not going  out -- there doth not lodge a man with thee to-night; and this  [is] worse for thee than all the evil that hath come upon thee  from thy youth till now.' 
10O 019:008 And the king riseth, and sitteth in the gate, and to all  the people they have declared, saying, `Lo, the king is sitting  in the gate;' and all the people come in before the king, and  Israel hath fled, each to his tents. 
10O 019:009 And it cometh to pass, all the people are contending  through all the tribes of Israel, saying, `The king delivered  us out of the hand of our enemies, yea, he himself delivered us  out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he hath fled out of  the land because of Absalom, 
10O 019:010 and Absalom whom we anointed over us [is] dead in battle,  and now, why are ye silent -- to bring back the king?' 
10O 019:011 And king David sent unto Zadok and unto Abiathar the  priests, saying, `Speak ye unto the elders of Judah, saying,  Why are ye last to bring back the king unto his house? (and the  word of all Israel hath come unto the king, unto his house;) 
10O 019:012 my brethren ye [are], my bone and my flesh ye [are], and  why are ye last to bring back the king? 
10O 019:013 And to Amasa say ye, Art not thou my bone and my flesh?  Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add, if thou art not  head of the host before me all the days instead of Joab.' 
10O 019:014 And he inclineth the heart of all the men of Judah as one  man, and they send unto the king, `Turn back, thou, and all thy  servants.' 
10O 019:015 And the king turneth back, and cometh in unto the Jordan,  and Judah hath come to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring  the king over the Jordan, 
10O 019:016 and Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite, who [is] from  Bahurim, hasteth, and cometh down with the men of Judah, to  meet king David, 
10O 019:017 and a thousand men [are] with him from Benjamin, and Ziba  servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his  twenty servants with him, and they have gone prosperously over  the Jordan before the king. 
10O 019:018 And passed over hath the ferry-boat to carry over the  household of the king, and to do that which [is] good in his  eyes, and Shimei son of Gera hath fallen before the king in his  passing over into Jordan, 
10O 019:019 and saith unto the king, `Let not my lord impute to me  iniquity; neither do thou remember that which thy servant did  perversely in the day that my lord the king went out from  Jerusalem, -- for the king to set [it] unto his heart; 
10O 019:020 for thy servant hath known that I have sinned; and lo, I  have come to-day, first of all the house of Joseph, to go down  to meet my lord the king.' 
10O 019:021 And Abishai son of Zeruiah answereth and saith, `For this  is not Shimei put to death -- because he reviled the anointed of  Jehovah?' 
10O 019:022 And David saith, `What -- to me and to you, O sons of  Zeruiah, that ye are to me to-day for an adversary? to-day is  any man put to death in Israel? for have I not known that  to-day I [am] king over Israel?' 
10O 019:023 And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou dost not die;' and  the king sweareth to him. 
10O 019:024 And Mephibosheth son of Saul hath come down to meet the  king -- and he prepared not his feet, nor did he prepare his  upper lip, yea, his garments he washed not, even from the day  of the going away of the king, till the day that he came in  peace -- 
10O 019:025 and it cometh to pass, when he hath come to Jerusalem to  meet the king, that the king saith to him, `Why didst thou not  go with me, Mephibosheth?' 
10O 019:026 And he saith, `My lord, O king, my servant deceived me,  for thy servant said, I saddle for me the ass, and ride on it,  and go with the king, for thy servant [is] lame; 
10O 019:027 and he uttereth slander against thy servant unto my lord  the king, and my lord the king [is] as a messenger of God; and  do thou that which is good in thine eyes, 
10O 019:028 for all the house of my father have been nothing except  men of death before my lord the king, and thou dost set thy  servant among those eating at thy table, and what right have I  any more -- even to cry any more unto the king?' 
10O 019:029 And the king saith to him, `Why dost thou speak any more  of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba -- share ye the  field.' 
10O 019:030 And Mephibosheth saith unto the king, `Yea, the whole let  him take, after that my lord the king hath come in peace unto  his house.' 
10O 019:031 And Barzillai the Gileadite hath gone down from Rogelim,  and passeth over the Jordan with the king, to send him away  over the Jordan; 
10O 019:032 and Barzillai [is] very aged, a son of eighty years, and  he hath sustained the king in his abiding in Mahanaim, for he  [is] a very great man; 
10O 019:033 and the king saith unto Barzillai, `Pass thou over with  me, and I have sustained thee with me in Jerusalem.' 
10O 019:034 And Barzillai saith unto the king, `How many [are] the  days of the years of my life, that I go up with the king to  Jerusalem? 
10O 019:035 A son of eighty years I [am] to-day; do I know between  good and evil? doth thy servant taste that which I am eating,  and that which I drink? do I hearken any more to the voice of  singers and songstresses? and why is thy servant any more for a  burden unto my lord the king? 
10O 019:036 As a little thing, thy servant doth pass over the Jordan  with the king, and why doth the king recompense me this  recompense? 
10O 019:037 Let, I pray thee, thy servant turn back again, and I die  in mine own city, near the burying-place of my father and of my  mother, -- and lo, thy servant Chimham, let him pass over with my  lord the king, and do thou to him that which [is] good in thine  eyes.' 
10O 019:038 And the king saith, `With me doth Chimham go over, and I  do to him that which [is] good in thine eyes, yea, all that  thou dost fix on me I do to thee.' 
10O 019:039 And all the people pass over the Jordan, and the king hath  passed over, and the king giveth a kiss to Barzillai, and  blesseth him, and he turneth back to his place. 
10O 019:040 And the king passeth over to Gilgal, and Chimham hath  passed over with him, and all the people of Judah, and they  bring over the king, and also the half of the people of Israel. 
10O 019:041 And, lo, all the men of Israel are coming unto the king,  and they say unto the king, `Wherefore have they stolen  thee -- our brethren, the men of Judah?' (and they bring the king  and his household over the Jordan, and all the men of David  with him). 
10O 019:042 And all the men of Judah answer against the men of Israel,  `Because the king [is] near unto us, and why [is] this -- ye are  displeased about this matter? have we at all eaten of the  king's [substance?] a gift hath he lifted up to us?' 
10O 019:043 And the men of Israel answer the men of Judah, and say,  `Ten parts we have in the king, and also in David more than  you; and wherefore have ye lightly esteemed us, that our word  hath not been first to bring back our king?' And the word of  the men of Judah is sharper than the word of the men of Israel. 
10O 020:001 And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness,  and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he  bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, `We have no portion in  David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each to  his tents, O Israel.' 
10O 020:002 And every man of Israel goeth up from after David, after  Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their  king, from the Jordan even unto Jerusalem. 
10O 020:003 And David cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the  king taketh the ten women-concubines -- whom he had left to keep  the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth  them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up  unto the day of their death, in widowhood living. 
10O 020:004 And the king saith unto Amasa, `Call for me the men of  Judah [in] three days, and thou, stand here,' 
10O 020:005 and Amasa goeth to call Judah, and tarrieth beyond the  appointed time that he had appointed him; 
10O 020:006 and David saith unto Abishai, `Now doth Sheba son of Bichri  do evil to us more than Absalom; thou, take the servants of thy  lord, and pursue after him, lest he have found for himself  fenced cities, and delivered himself [from] our eye.' 
10O 020:007 And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite,  and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from  Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri; 
10O 020:008 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and  Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; his long  robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle -- a sword [is]  fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out,  and it falleth. 
10O 020:009 And Joab saith to Amasa, `Art thou [in] peace, my brother?'  and the right hand of Joab layeth hold on the beard of Amasa to  give a kiss to him; 
10O 020:010 and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that [is] in  the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth  [rib], and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath  not repeated [it] to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai  his brother have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri. 
10O 020:011 And a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and  saith, `He who hath delight in Joab, and he who [is] for  David -- after Joab!' 
10O 020:012 And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the  highway, and the man seeth that all the people have stood  still, and he bringeth round Amasa out of the highway to the  field, and casteth over him a garment, when he hath seen that  every one who hath come by him -- hath stood still. 
10O 020:013 When he hath been removed out of the highway, every man  hath passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri. 
10O 020:014 And he passeth over through all the tribes of Israel to  Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are  assembled, and go in also after him, 
10O 020:015 and they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of  Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mount against the city, and it  standeth in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab  are destroying, to cause the wall to fall. 
10O 020:016 And a wise woman calleth out of the city, `Hear, hear;  say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, and I speak unto  thee.' 
10O 020:017 And he cometh near unto her, and the woman saith, `Art  thou Joab?' and he saith, `I [am].' And she saith to him, `Hear  the words of thy handmaid;' and he saith, `I am hearing.' 
10O 020:018 and she speaketh, saying, `They spake often in former  times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they  finished. 
10O 020:019 I [am] of the peaceable -- faithful ones of Israel; thou art  seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost  thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah? 
10O 020:020 And Joab answereth and saith, `Far be it -- far be it from  me; I do not swallow up nor destroy. 
10O 020:021 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of  Ephraim -- Sheba son of Bichri his name -- hath lifted up his hand  against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and  I go away from the city.' And the woman saith unto Joab, `Lo,  his head is cast unto thee over the wall.' 
10O 020:022 And the woman cometh unto all the people in her wisdom,  and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it]  unto Joab, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and they are  scattered from the city, each to his tents, and Joab hath  turned back to Jerusalem unto the king. 
10O 020:023 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son  of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite, 
10O 020:024 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of  Ahilud [is] the remembrancer, 
10O 020:025 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are]  priests, 
10O 020:026 and also, Ira the Jairite hath been minister to David. 
10O 021:001 And there is a famine in the days of David three years,  year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and  Jehovah saith, `For Saul and for the bloody house, because that  he put to death the Gibeonites.' 
10O 021:002 And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto  them -- as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of  Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of  Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his  zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah -- 
10O 021:003 yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, `What do I do for  you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the  inheritance of Jehovah.' 
10O 021:004 And the Gibeonites say to him, `We have no silver and gold  by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in  Israel;' and he saith, `What ye are saying I do to you.' 
10O 021:005 And they say unto the king, `The man who consumed us, and  who devised against us -- we have been destroyed from stationing  ourselves in all the border of Israel -- 
10O 021:006 let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have  hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen  of Jehovah.' And the king saith, `I do give;' 
10O 021:007 and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son  of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them,  between David and Jonathan son of Saul; 
10O 021:008 and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of  Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the  five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel  son of Barzillai the Meholathite, 
10O 021:009 and giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they  hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall  together, and they have been put to death in the days of  harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of  barley-harvest. 
10O 021:010 And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and  stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the  commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon  them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the  heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by  night. 
10O 021:011 And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of  Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done, 
10O 021:012 and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the  bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of  Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of  Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the  Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa; 
10O 021:013 and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones  of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those hanged, 
10O 021:014 and bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the  land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his  father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is  entreated for the land afterwards. 
10O 021:015 And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David  goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the  Philistines; and David is weary, 
10O 021:016 and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the  giant -- the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels]  weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one -- speaketh of  smiting David, 
10O 021:017 and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth  the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of  David to him, saying, `Thou dost not go out again with us to  battle, nor quench the lamp of Israel.' 
10O 021:018 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again  in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite  smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant. 
10O 021:019 And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and  Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a  brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is]  like a beam of weavers. 
10O 021:020 And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of  stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes  of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also  hath been born to the giant, 
10O 021:021 and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son  of Shimeah, brother of David; 
10O 021:022 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they  fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 
10O 022:001 And David speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the  day Jehovah hath delivered him out of the hand of all his  enemies, and out of the hand of Saul, 
10O 022:002 and he saith: `Jehovah [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a  deliverer to me, 
10O 022:003 My God [is] my rock -- I take refuge in Him; My shield, and  the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My  Saviour, from violence Thou savest me! 
10O 022:004 The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am  saved. 
10O 022:005 When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the  worthless terrify me, 
10O 022:006 The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been  the snares of death. 
10O 022:007 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call,  And He heareth from His temple my voice, And my cry [is] in His  ears, 
10O 022:008 And shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the  heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath wrath! 
10O 022:009 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth  devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it. 
10O 022:010 And He inclineth heaven, and cometh down, And thick  darkness [is] under His feet. 
10O 022:011 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And is seen on  the wings of the wind. 
10O 022:012 And He setteth darkness Round about Him -- tabernacles,  Darkness of waters -- thick clouds of the skies. 
10O 022:013 From the brightness before Him Were brands of fire  kindled! 
10O 022:014 Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High  giveth forth His voice. 
10O 022:015 And He sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them;  Lightning, and troubleth them; 
10O 022:016 And seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are  foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, From the  breath of the spirit of His anger. 
10O 022:017 He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out of  many waters. 
10O 022:018 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating  me, For they were stronger than I. 
10O 022:019 They are before me in a day of my calamity, And Jehovah is  my support, 
10O 022:020 And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth me out  for He delighted in me. 
10O 022:021 Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness,  According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. 
10O 022:022 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done  wickedly against my God. 
10O 022:023 For all His judgments [are] before me, As to His statutes,  I turn not from them. 
10O 022:024 And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from mine  iniquity. 
10O 022:025 And Jehovah returneth to me, According to my  righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes. 
10O 022:026 With the kind Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect  man Thou shewest Thyself perfect, 
10O 022:027 With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the  perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler. 
10O 022:028 And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the  high causest to fall. 
10O 022:029 For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth  lighten my darkness. 
10O 022:030 For by Thee I run -- a troop, By my God I leap a wall. 
10O 022:031 God! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried,  A shield He [is] to all those trusting in Him. 
10O 022:032 For who is God save Jehovah? And who a Rock save our God? 
10O 022:033 God -- my bulwark, [my] strength, And He maketh perfect my  way; 
10O 022:034 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth  me to stand, 
10O 022:035 Teaching my hands for battle, And brought down was a bow  of brass by mine arms, 
10O 022:036 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy  lowliness maketh me great. 
10O 022:037 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not  slidden. 
10O 022:038 I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not  till they are consumed. 
10O 022:039 And I consume them, and smite them, And they rise not, and  fall under my feet. 
10O 022:040 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou  causest my withstanders to bow under me. 
10O 022:041 And mine enemies -- Thou givest to me the neck, Those hating  me -- and I cut them off. 
10O 022:042 They look, and there is no saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He  hath not answered them. 
10O 022:043 And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the  streets I beat them small -- I spread them out! 
10O 022:044 And -- Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people,  Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known  do serve me. 
10O 022:045 Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing  of the ear they hearken to me. 
10O 022:046 Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their  close places. 
10O 022:047 Jehovah liveth, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is  my God -- The Rock of my salvation. 
10O 022:048 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down  peoples under me, 
10O 022:049 And bringing me forth from mine enemies, Yea, above my  withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou  deliverest me. 
10O 022:050 Therefore I confess Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to  Thy name I sing praise. 
10O 022:051 Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing  loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his  seed -- unto the age!' 
10O 023:001 And these [are] the last words of David: -- `The affirmation  of David son of Jesse -- And the affirmation of the man raised  up -- Concerning the Anointed of the God of Jacob, And the  Sweetness of the Songs of Israel: 
10O 023:002 The Spirit of Jehovah hath spoken by me, And His word [is]  on my tongue. 
10O 023:003 He said -- the God of Israel -- to me, He spake -- the Rock of  Israel: He who is ruling over man [is] righteous, He is ruling  in the fear of God. 
10O 023:004 And as the light of morning he riseth, A morning sun -- no  clouds! By the shining, by the rain, Tender grass of the earth! 
10O 023:005 For -- not so [is] my house with God; For -- a covenant  age-during He made with me, Arranged in all things, and kept;  For -- all my salvation, and all desire, For -- He hath not caused  [it] to spring up. 
10O 023:006 As to the worthless -- As a thorn driven away [are] all of  them, For -- not by hand are they taken; 
10O 023:007 And the man who cometh against them Is filled with iron and  the staff of a spear, And with fire they are utterly burnt In  the cessation.' 
10O 023:008 These [are] the names of the mighty ones whom David hath:  sitting in the seat [is] the Tachmonite, head of the  captains -- he [is] Adino, who hardened himself against eight  hundred -- wounded at one time. 
10O 023:009 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, of  the three mighty men with David; in their exposing themselves  among the Philistines -- they have been gathered there to battle,  and the men of Israel go up -- 
10O 023:010 he hath arisen, and smiteth among the Philistines till  that his hand hath been weary, and his hand cleaveth unto the  sword, and Jehovah worketh a great salvation on that day, and  the people turn back after him only to strip off. 
10O 023:011 And after him [is] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite, and  the Philistines are gathered into a company, and there is there  a portion of the field full of lentiles, and the people hath  fled from the presence of the Philistines, 
10O 023:012 and he stationeth himself in the midst of the portion, and  delivereth it, and smiteth the Philistines, and Jehovah worketh  a great salvation. 
10O 023:013 And three of the thirty heads go down and come unto the  harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the company  of the Philistines are encamping in the valley of Rephaim, 
10O 023:014 and David [is] then in a fortress, and the station of the  Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem, 
10O 023:015 and David longeth and saith, `Who doth give me a drink of  the water of the well of Beth-Lehem, which [is] by the gate?' 
10O 023:016 And the three mighty ones cleave through the camp of the  Philistines, and draw water out of the well of Beth-Lehem,  which [is] by the gate, and take [it] up, and bring in unto  David; and he was not willing to drink it, and poureth it out  to Jehovah, 
10O 023:017 and saith, `Far be it from me, O Jehovah, to do this; is  it the blood of the men who are going with their lives?' and he  was not willing to drink it; these [things] did the three  mighty ones. 
10O 023:018 And Abishai brother of Joab, son of Zeruiah, he [is] head  of three, and he is lifting up his spear against three  hundred -- wounded, and he hath a name among three. 
10O 023:019 Of the three is he not the honoured? and he becometh their  head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come. 
10O 023:020 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada (son of a man of valour, great  in deeds from Kabzeel), he hath smitten two lion-like men of  Moab, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the midst  of the pit in a day of snow. 
10O 023:021 And he hath smitten the Egyptian man, a man of appearance,  and in the hand of the Egyptian [is] a spear, and he goeth down  unto him with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of  the hand of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear. 
10O 023:022 These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath  a name among three mighty. 
10O 023:023 Of the thirty he is honoured, and unto the three he came  not; and David setteth him over his guard. 
10O 023:024 Asahel brother of Joab [is] of the thirty; Elhanan son of  Dodo of Beth-Lehem. 
10O 023:025 Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite, 
10O 023:026 Helez the Paltite, Ira son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, 
10O 023:027 Abiezer the Annethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite, 
10O 023:028 Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite, 
10O 023:029 Heleb son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai son of Ribai  from Gibeah of the sons of Benjamin, 
10O 023:030 Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash, 
10O 023:031 Abi-Albon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite, 
10O 023:032 Eliahba the Shaalbonite, [of] the sons of Jashen,  Jonathan, 
10O 023:033 Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite, 
10O 023:034 Eliphelet son of Ahasbai, son of the Maachathite, Eliam  son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, 
10O 023:035 Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite, 
10O 023:036 Igal son of Nathan from Zobah, Bani the Gadite, 
10O 023:037 Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, bearer of the  weapons of Joab son of Zeruiah, 
10O 023:038 Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite, 
10O 023:039 Uriah the Hittite; in all thirty and seven. 
10O 024:001 And the anger of Jehovah addeth to burn against Israel, and  [an adversary] moveth David about them, saying, `Go, number  Israel and Judah.' 
10O 024:002 And the king saith unto Joab, head of the host that [is]  with him, `Go to and fro, I pray thee, through all the tribes  of Israel, from Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, and inspect ye the  people -- and I have known the number of the people.' 
10O 024:003 And Joab saith unto the king, `Yea, Jehovah thy God doth  add unto the people, as they are, a hundred times, and the eyes  of my lord the king are seeing; and my lord the king, why is he  desirous of this thing?' 
10O 024:004 And the word of the king is severe towards Joab, and  against the heads of the force, and Joab goeth out, and the  heads of the force, [from] before the king to inspect the  people, even Israel; 
10O 024:005 and they pass over the Jordan, and encamp in Aroer, on the  right of the city that [is] in the midst of the brook of Gad,  and unto Jazer, 
10O 024:006 and they come in to Gilead, and unto the land of  Tahtim-Hodshi, and they come in to Dan-Jaan, and round about  unto Zidon, 
10O 024:007 and they come in to the fortress of Tyre, and all the  cities of the Hivite, and of the Canaanite, and go out unto the  south of Judah, to Beer-Sheba. 
10O 024:008 And they go to and fro through all the land, and come in at  the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem, 
10O 024:009 and Joab giveth the account of the inspection of the people  unto the king, and Israel is eight hundred thousand men of  valour, drawing sword, and the men of Judah five hundred  thousand men. 
10O 024:010 And the heart of David smiteth him, after that he hath  numbered the people, and David saith unto Jehovah, `I have  sinned greatly in that which I have done, and now, O Jehovah,  cause to pass away, I pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant,  for I have acted very foolishly.' 
10O 024:011 And David riseth in the morning, and the word of Jehovah  hath been unto Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying, 
10O 024:012 `Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, Thus said Jehovah:  Three -- I am lifting up for thee, choose thee one of them, and I  do [it] to thee.' 
10O 024:013 And Gad cometh in unto David, and declareth to him, and  saith to him, `Do seven years of famine come in to thee in thy  land? or three months art thou fleeing before thine  adversary -- and he pursuing thee? or are three days' pestilence  in thy land? now, know and see what word I take back to Him  sending me.' 
10O 024:014 And David saith unto Gad, `I have great distress, let us  fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for many [are] His  mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.' 
10O 024:015 And Jehovah giveth a pestilence on Israel from the morning  even unto the time appointed, and there die of the people, from  Dan even unto Beer-Sheba, seventy thousand men, 
10O 024:016 and the messenger putteth forth his hand to Jerusalem to  destroy it, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil, and  saith to the messenger who is destroying among the people,  `Enough, now, cease thy hand;' and the messenger of Jehovah was  near the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 
10O 024:017 And David speaketh unto Jehovah, when he seeth the  messenger who is smiting among the people, and saith, `Lo, I  have sinned, yea, I have done perversely; and these -- the  flock -- what have they done? Let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on  me, and on the house of my father.' 
10O 024:018 And Gad cometh in unto David on that day, and saith to  him, `Go up, raise to Jehovah an altar in the threshing-floor  of Araunah the Jebusite;' 
10O 024:019 and David goeth up, according to the word of Gad, as  Jehovah commanded. 
10O 024:020 And Araunah looketh, and seeth the king and his servants  passing over unto him, and Araunah goeth out and boweth himself  to the king -- his face to the earth. 
10O 024:021 And Araunah saith, `Wherefore hath my lord the king come  unto his servant?' and David saith, `To buy from thee the  threshing-floor, to build an altar to Jehovah, and the plague  is restrained from the people.' 
10O 024:022 And Araunah saith unto David, `Let my lord the king take  and cause to ascend that which is good in his eyes; see, the  oxen for a burnt-offering, and the threshing instruments, and  the instruments of the oxen, for wood;' 
10O 024:023 the whole hath Araunah given, [as] a king to a king; and  Araunah saith unto the king, `Jehovah thy God doth accept  thee.' 
10O 024:024 And the king saith unto Araunah, `Nay, for I do surely buy  from thee for a price, and I do not cause to ascend to Jehovah  my God burnt-offerings for nought;' and David buyeth the  threshing-floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver, 
10O 024:025 and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and causeth  to ascend burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and Jehovah is  entreated for the land, and the plague is restrained from  Israel. 
11O 001:001 And king David [is] old, entering into days, and they cover  him with garments, and he hath no heat, 
11O 001:002 and his servants say to him, `Let them seek for my lord the  king a young woman, a virgin, and she hath stood before the  king, and is to him a companion, and hath lain in thy bosom,  and my lord the king hath heat.' 
11O 001:003 And they seek a fair young woman in all the border of  Israel, and find Abishag the Shunammite, and bring her in to  the king, 
11O 001:004 and the young woman [is] very very fair, and she is to the  king a companion, and serveth him, and the king hath not known  her. 
11O 001:005 And Adonijah son of Haggith is lifting himself up, saying,  `I do reign;' and he prepareth for himself a chariot and  horsemen, and fifty men running before him, 
11O 001:006 and his father hath not grieved him [all] his days, saying,  `Wherefore thus hast thou done?' and he also [is] of a very  good form, and [his mother] bare him after Absalom. 
11O 001:007 And his words are with Joab son of Zeruiah, and with  Abiathar the priest, and they help after Adonijah; 
11O 001:008 and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and  Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty ones  whom David hath, have not been with Adonijah. 
11O 001:009 And Adonijah sacrificeth sheep and oxen and fatlings near  the stone of Zoheleth, that [is] by En-Rogel, and calleth all  his brethren, sons of the king, and for all the men of Judah,  servants of the king; 
11O 001:010 and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty ones,  and Solomon his brother, he hath not called. 
11O 001:011 And Nathan speaketh unto Bath-Sheba, mother of Solomon,  saying, `Hast thou not heard that Adonijah son of Haggith hath  reigned, and our lord David hath not known? 
11O 001:012 and now, come, let me counsel thee, I pray thee, and  deliver thy life, and the life of thy son Solomon; 
11O 001:013 go and enter in unto king David, and thou hast said unto  him, Hast thou not, my lord, O king, sworn to thy handmaid,  saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth  sit on my throne? and wherefore hath Adonijah reigned? 
11O 001:014 Lo, thou are yet speaking there with the king, and I come  in after thee, and have completed thy words.' 
11O 001:015 And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto the king, to the inner  chamber, and the king [is] very aged, and Abishag the  Shunammite is serving the king: 
11O 001:016 and Bath-Sheba boweth and doth obeisance to the king, and  the king saith, `What -- to thee?' 
11O 001:017 And she saith to him, `My lord, thou hast sworn by Jehovah  thy God to thy handmaid: Surely Solomon thy son doth reign  after me, and he doth sit on my throne; 
11O 001:018 and now, lo, Adonijah hath reigned, and now, my lord, O  king, thou hast not known; 
11O 001:019 and he sacrificeth ox, and fatling, and sheep in abundance,  and calleth for all the sons of the king, and for Abiathar the  priest, and for Joab head of the host -- and for Solomon thy  servant he hath not called. 
11O 001:020 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on  thee, to declare to them who doth sit on the throne of my lord  the king after him; 
11O 001:021 and it hath been, when my lord the king lieth with his  fathers, that I have been, I and my son Solomon -- [reckoned]  sinners.' 
11O 001:022 And lo, she is yet speaking with the king, and Nathan the  prophet hath come in; 
11O 001:023 and they declare to the king, saying, `Lo, Nathan the  prophet;' and he cometh in before the king, and boweth himself  to the king, on his face to the earth. 
11O 001:024 And Nathan saith, `My lord, O king, thou hast said,  Adonijah doth reign after me, and he doth sit on my throne; 
11O 001:025 for he hath gone down to-day, and doth sacrifice ox, and  fatling, and sheep, in abundance, and calleth for all the sons  of the king, and for the heads of the host, and for Abiathar  the priest, and lo, they are eating and drinking before him,  and they say, Let king Adonijah live! 
11O 001:026 `And for me -- me, thy servant, and for Zadok the priest,  and for Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, and for Solomon thy servant,  he hath not called; 
11O 001:027 if from my lord the king this thing hath been, then thou  hast not caused thy servant to know who doth sit on the throne  of my lord the king after him.' 
11O 001:028 And king David answereth and saith, `Call for me for  Bath-Sheba;' and she cometh in before the king, and standeth  before the king. 
11O 001:029 And the king sweareth and saith, `Jehovah liveth, who hath  redeemed my soul out of all adversity; 
11O 001:030 surely as I sware to thee by Jehovah, God of Israel,  saying, Surely Solomon thy son doth reign after me, and he doth  sit on my throne in my stead; surely so I do this day.' 
11O 001:031 And Bath-Sheba boweth -- face to the earth -- and doth  obeisance to the king, and saith, `Let my lord, king David,  live to the age.' 
11O 001:032 And king David saith, `Call for me for Zadok the priest,  and for Nathan the prophet, and for Benaiah son of Jehoiada;'  and they come in before the king. 
11O 001:033 And the king saith to them, `Take with you the servants of  your lord, and ye have caused Solomon my son to ride on mine  own mule, and caused him to go down unto Gihon, 
11O 001:034 and anointed him there hath Zadok the priest -- and Nathan  the prophet -- for king over Israel, and ye have blown with a  trumpet, and said, Let king Solomon live; 
11O 001:035 and ye have come up after him, and he hath come in and hath  sat on my throne, and he doth reign in my stead, and him I have  appointed to be leader over Israel, and over Judah.' 
11O 001:036 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answereth the king, and saith,  `Amen! so doth Jehovah, God of my lord the king, say; 
11O 001:037 as Jehovah hath been with my lord the king, so is He with  Solomon, and doth make his throne greater than the throne of my  lord king David.' 
11O 001:038 And Zadok the priest goeth down, and Nathan the prophet,  and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite, and the  Pelethite, and they cause Solomon to ride on the mule of king  David, and cause him to go unto Gihon, 
11O 001:039 and Zadok the priest taketh the horn of oil out of the  tent, and anointeth Solomon, and they blow with a trumpet, and  all the people say, `Let king Solomon live.' 
11O 001:040 And all the people come up after him, and the people are  piping with pipes, and rejoicing -- great joy, and the earth  rendeth with their voice. 
11O 001:041 And Adonijah heareth, and all those called, who [are] with  him, and they have finished to eat, and Joab heareth the noise  of the trumpet, and saith, `Wherefore [is] the noise of the  city roaring?' 
11O 001:042 He is yet speaking, and lo, Jonathan son of Abiathar the  priest hath come in, and Adonijah saith, `Come in, for a man of  valour thou [art], and thou bearest good tidings.' 
11O 001:043 And Jonathan answereth and saith to Adonijah, `Verily our  lord king David hath caused Solomon to reign, 
11O 001:044 and the king sendeth with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan  the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethite,  and the Pelethite, and they cause him to ride on the king's  mule, 
11O 001:045 and they anoint him -- Zadok the priest and Nathan the  prophet -- for king in Gihon, and are come up thence rejoicing,  and the city is moved; it [is] the noise that ye have heard. 
11O 001:046 `And also Solomon hath sat on the throne of the kingdom, 
11O 001:047 and also the servants of the king have come into bless our  lord king David, saying, Thy God doth make the name of Solomon  better than thy name, and his throne greater than thy throne;  and the king boweth himself on the bed, 
11O 001:048 and also thus hath the king said, Blessed [is] Jehovah, God  of Israel, who hath given to-day [one] sitting on my throne,  and mine eyes seeing.' 
11O 001:049 And they tremble, and rise -- all those called who [are]  for Adonijah -- and go, each on his way; 
11O 001:050 and Adonijah feareth because of Solomon, and riseth, and  goeth, and layeth hold on the horns of the altar. 
11O 001:051 And it is declared to Solomon, saying, `Lo, Adonijah  feareth king Solomon, and lo, he hath laid hold on the horns of  the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me as to-day -- he  doth not put to death his servant by the sword.' 
11O 001:052 And Solomon saith, `If he becometh a virtuous man -- there  doth not fall of his hair to the earth, and if evil is found in  him -- then he hath died.' 
11O 001:053 And king Solomon sendeth, and they bring him down from off  the altar, and he cometh in and boweth himself to king Solomon,  and Solomon saith to him, `Go to thy house.' 
11O 002:001 And draw near do the days of David to die, and he chargeth  Solomon his son, saying, 
11O 002:002 `I am going in the way of all the earth, and thou hast been  strong, and become a man, 
11O 002:003 and kept the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways,  to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His  testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, so that thou  dost wisely all that thou dost, and whithersoever thou turnest, 
11O 002:004 so that Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake unto  me, saying, If thy sons observe their way to walk before Me in  truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying,  There is not cut off a man of thine from the throne of Israel. 
11O 002:005 `And also, thou hast known that which he did to me -- Joab  son of Zeruiah -- that which he did to two heads of the hosts  of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether --  that he slayeth them, and maketh the blood of war in peace, and  putteth the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins,  and in his sandals that [are] on his feet; 
11O 002:006 and thou hast done according to thy wisdom, and dost not let  his old age go down in peace to Sheol. 
11O 002:007 `And to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite thou dost do  kindness, and they have been among those eating at thy table,  for so they drew near unto me in my fleeing from the face of  Absalom thy brother. 
11O 002:008 `And lo, with thee [is] Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of  Bahurim, and he reviled me -- a grievous reviling -- in the day  of my going to Mahanaim; and he hath come down to meet me at  the Jordan, and I swear to him by Jehovah, saying, I do not put  thee to death by the sword; 
11O 002:009 and now, acquit him not, for a wise man thou [art], and thou  hast known that which thou dost to him, and hast brought down  his old age with blood to Sheol.' 
11O 002:010 And David lieth down with his fathers, and is buried in the  city of David, 
11O 002:011 and the days that David hath reigned over Israel [are]  forty years, in Hebron he hath reigned seven years, and in  Jerusalem he hath reigned thirty and three years. 
11O 002:012 And Solomon hath sat on the throne of David his father, and  his kingdom is established greatly, 
11O 002:013 and Adonijah son of Haggith cometh in unto Bath-Sheba,  mother of Solomon, and she saith, `Is thy coming peace?' and he  saith, `Peace.' 
11O 002:014 And he saith, `I have a word unto thee,' and she saith,  `Speak.' 
11O 002:015 And he saith, `Thou hast known that the kingdom was mine,  and towards me set their faces had all Israel for reigning, and  the kingdom is turned round about, and is my brother's, for  from Jehovah it was his; 
11O 002:016 and now, one petition I am asking of thee -- turn not back  my face;' and she saith unto him, `Speak.' 
11O 002:017 And he saith, `Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king, for  he doth not turn back thy face, and he doth give to me Abishag  the Shunammite for a wife.' 
11O 002:018 And Bath-Sheba saith, `Good; I do speak for thee unto the  king.' 
11O 002:019 And Bath-Sheba cometh in unto king Solomon to speak to him  for Adonijah, and the king riseth to meet her, and boweth  himself to her, and sitteth on his throne, and placeth a throne  for the mother of the king, and she sitteth at his right hand. 
11O 002:020 And she saith, `One small petition I ask of thee, turn not  back my face;' and the king saith to her, `Ask, my mother, for  I do not turn back thy face.' 
11O 002:021 And she saith, `Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to  Adonijah thy brother for a wife.' 
11O 002:022 And king Solomon answereth and saith to his mother, `And  why art thou asking Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? also  ask for him the kingdom -- for he [is] mine elder brother --  even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of  Zeruiah.' 
11O 002:023 And king Solomon sweareth by Jehovah, saying, `Thus doth  God to me, and thus He doth add -- surely against his soul hath  Adonijah spoken this word; 
11O 002:024 and now, Jehovah liveth, who hath established me, and  causeth me to sit on the throne of David my father, and who  hath made for me an house as He spake -- surely to-day is  Adonijah put to death.' 
11O 002:025 And king Solomon sendeth by the hand of Benaiah son of  Jehoiada, and he falleth upon him, and he dieth. 
11O 002:026 And to Abiathar the priest said the king, `To Anathoth go,  unto thy fields; for a man of death thou [art], but in this day  I do not put thee to death, because thou hast borne the ark of  the Lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou wast  afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.' 
11O 002:027 And Solomon casteth out Abiathar from being priest to  Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah which He spake  concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 
11O 002:028 And the report hath come unto Joab -- for Joab hath turned  aside after Adonijah, though after Absalom he did not turn  aside -- and Joab fleeth unto the tent of Jehovah, and layeth  hold on the horns of the altar. 
11O 002:029 And it is declared to king Solomon that Joab hath fled unto  the tent of Jehovah, and lo, near the altar; and Solomon  sendeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, `Go, fall upon him.' 
11O 002:030 And Benaiah cometh in unto the tent of Jehovah, and saith  unto him, `Thus said the king, Come out;' and he saith, `Nay,  but here I die.' And Benaiah bringeth back the king word,  saying, `Thus spake Joab, yea, thus he answered me.' 
11O 002:031 And the king saith to him, `Do as he hath spoken, and fall  upon him, and thou hast buried him, and turned aside the  causeless blood which Joab shed, from off me, and from off the  house of my father; 
11O 002:032 and Jehovah hath turned back his blood on his own head, who  hath fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and  slayeth them with the sword, -- and my father David knew not --  Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of  Jether, head of the host of Judah; 
11O 002:033 yea, turned back hath their blood on the head of Joab, and  on the head of his seed to the age; and for David, and for his  seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace  unto the age, from Jehovah.' 
11O 002:034 And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goeth up and falleth upon him,  and putteth him to death, and he is buried in his own house in  the wilderness, 
11O 002:035 and the king putteth Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his stead  over the host, and Zadok the priest hath the king put in the  stead of Abiathar. 
11O 002:036 And the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith to  him, `Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and thou hast dwelt  there, and dost not go out thence any where; 
11O 002:037 and it hath been, in the day of thy going out, and thou  hast passed over the brook Kidron, thou dost certainly know  that thou dost surely die -- thy blood is on thy head.' 
11O 002:038 And Shimei saith to the king, `The word [is] good; as my  lord the king hath spoken so doth thy servant do;' and Shimei  dwelleth in Jerusalem many days. 
11O 002:039 And it cometh to pass, at the end of three years, that flee  do two of the servants of Shimei unto Achish son of Maachah,  king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, `Lo, thy  servants [are] in Gath;' 
11O 002:040 and Shimei riseth, and saddleth his ass, and goeth to Gath,  unto Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goeth and  bringeth his servants from Gath. 
11O 002:041 And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei hath gone from  Jerusalem to Gath, and doth return, 
11O 002:042 and the king sendeth and calleth for Shimei, and saith unto  him, `Have I not caused thee to swear by Jehovah -- and I  testify against thee, saying, In the day of thy going out, and  thou hast gone anywhere, thou dost certainly know that thou  dost surely die; and thou sayest unto me, The word I have heard  [is] good? 
11O 002:043 and wherefore hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and  the charge that I charged upon thee?' 
11O 002:044 And the king saith unto Shimei, `Thou hast known all the  evil that thy heart hath known, which thou didest to David my  father, and Jehovah hath turned back thine evil on thy head, 
11O 002:045 and king Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is  established before Jehovah unto the age.' 
11O 002:046 And the king chargeth Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goeth  out and falleth on him, and he dieth, and the kingdom is  established in the hand of Solomon. 
11O 003:001 And Solomon joineth in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt,  and taketh the daughter of Pharaoh, and bringeth her in unto  the city of David, till he completeth to build his own house,  and the house of Jehovah, and the wall of Jerusalem round  about. 
11O 003:002 Only, the people are sacrificing in high places, for there  hath not been built a house for the name of Jehovah till those  days. 
11O 003:003 And Solomon loveth Jehovah, to walk in the statutes of David  his father -- only, in high places he is sacrificing and making  perfume -- 
11O 003:004 and the king goeth to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it  [is] the great high place; a thousand burnt-offerings cause to  ascend doth Solomon on that altar. 
11O 003:005 In Gibeon hath Jehovah appeared unto Solomon, in a dream of  the night, and God saith, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?' 
11O 003:006 And Solomon saith, `Thou hast done with Thy servant David my  father great kindness, as he walked before Thee in truth and in  righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with Thee, and Thou  dost keep for him this great kindness, and dost give to him a  son sitting on his throne, as [at] this day. 
11O 003:007 And now, O Jehovah my God, Thou hast caused thy servant to  reign instead of David my father; and I [am] a little child, I  do not know to go out and to come in; 
11O 003:008 and Thy servant [is] in the midst of thy people, whom Thou  hast chosen, a people numerous, that is not numbered nor  counted for multitude, 
11O 003:009 and Thou hast given to Thy servant an understanding heart,  to judge Thy people, to discern between good and evil; for who  is able to judge this Thy great people?' 
11O 003:010 And the thing is good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon  hath asked this thing, 
11O 003:011 and God saith unto him, `Because that thou hast asked this  thing, and hast not asked for thee many days, nor asked for  thee riches, nor asked the life of thine enemies, and hast  asked for thee discernment to understand judgment, 
11O 003:012 lo, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given to  thee a heart, wise and understanding, that like thee there hath  not been before thee, and after thee there doth not arise like  thee; 
11O 003:013 and also, that which thou hast not asked I have given to  thee, both riches and honour, that there hath not been like  thee a man among the kings all thy days; 
11O 003:014 and if thou dost walk in My ways to keep My statutes, and  My commands, as David thy father walked, then I have prolonged  thy days.' 
11O 003:015 And Solomon awaketh, and lo, a dream; and he cometh in to  Jerusalem, and standeth before the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah, and causeth to ascend burnt-offerings, and maketh  peace-offerings. And he maketh a banquet for all his servants, 
11O 003:016 then come in do two women, harlots, unto the king, and  stand before him, 
11O 003:017 and the one woman saith, `O, my lord, I and this woman are  dwelling in one house, and I bring forth with her, in the  house; 
11O 003:018 and it cometh to pass on the third day of my bringing  forth, that this woman also bringeth forth, and we [are]  together, there is no stranger with us in the house, save we  two, in the house. 
11O 003:019 And the son of this woman dieth at night, because she hath  lain upon it, 
11O 003:020 and she riseth in the middle of the night, and taketh my  son from beside me -- and thy handmaid is asleep -- and layeth  it in her bosom, and her dead son she hath laid in my bosom; 
11O 003:021 and I rise in the morning to suckle my son, and lo, dead;  and I consider concerning it in the morning, and lo, it was not  my son whom I did bear.' 
11O 003:022 And the other woman saith, `Nay, but my son [is] the  living, and thy son the dead;' and this [one] saith, `Nay, but  thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.' And they speak  before the king. 
11O 003:023 And the king saith, `This [one] saith, This [is] my son,  the living, and thy son [is] the dead; and that [one] saith,  Nay, but thy son [is] the dead, and my son the living.' 
11O 003:024 And the king saith, `Take for me a sword;' and they bring  the sword before the king, 
11O 003:025 and the king saith, `Cut the living child into two, and  give the half to the one, and the half to the other.' 
11O 003:026 And the woman whose son [is] the living one saith unto the  king (for her bowels yearned over her son), yea, she saith, `O,  my lord, give to her the living child, and put it not at all to  death;' and this [one] saith, `Let it be neither mine or thine  -- cut [it].' 
11O 003:027 And the king answereth and saith, `Give ye to her the  living child, and put it not at all to death; she [is] its  mother.' 
11O 003:028 And all Israel hear of the judgment that the king hath  judged, and fear because of the king, for they have seen that  the wisdom of God [is] in his heart, to do judgment. 
11O 004:001 And king Solomon is king over all Israel, 
11O 004:002 and these [are] the heads whom he hath: Azariah son of Zadok  [is] the priest; 
11O 004:003 Elihoreph and Ahiah sons of Shisha [are] scribes;  Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer; 
11O 004:004 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the host; and Zadok  and Abiathar [are] priests; 
11O 004:005 and Azariah son of Nathan [is] over the officers; and Zabud  son of Nathan [is] minister, friend of the king; 
11O 004:006 And Ahishar [is] over the household, and Adoniram son of  Abda [is] over the tribute. 
11O 004:007 And Solomon hath twelve officers over all Israel, and they  have sustained the king and his household -- a month in the  year is on each one for sustenance; 
11O 004:008 and these [are] their names: Ben-Hur in the hill-country of  Ephraim; 
11O 004:009 Ben-Dekar in Makaz, and Shaalbim, and Beth-Shemesh, and  Elon-Beth-Hanan. 
11O 004:010 Ben-Hesed [is] in Aruboth, hath Sochoh and all the land of  Hepher; 
11O 004:011 Ben-Abinadab [hath] all the elevation of Dor, Taphath  daughter of Solomon became his wife. 
11O 004:012 Baana Ben-Ahilud [hath] Taanach and Megiddo, and all  Beth-Shean, which [is] by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from  Beth-Shean unto Abel-Meholah, unto beyond Jokneam. 
11O 004:013 Ben-Geber, in Ramoth-Gilead, hath the small towns of Jair  son of Manasseh, which [are] in Gilead; he hath a portion of  Argob that [is] in Bashan, sixty great cities [with] wall and  brazen bar. 
11O 004:014 Ahinadab son of Iddo [hath] Mahanaim. 
11O 004:015 Ahimaaz [is] in Naphtali; he also hath taken Basemath  daughter of Solomon for a wife. 
11O 004:016 Baanah Ben-Hushai [is] in Asher, and in Aloth. 
11O 004:017 Jehoshaphat Ben-Paruah [is] in Issachar. 
11O 004:018 Shimei Ben-Elah [is] in Benjamin. 
11O 004:019 Geber Ben-Uri [is] in the land of Gilead, the land of Sihon  king of the Amorite, and of Og king of Bashan: and one officer  who [is] in the land. 
11O 004:020 Judah and Israel [are] many, as the sand that [is] by the  sea for multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing. 
11O 004:021 And Solomon hath been ruling over all the kingdoms, from  the River [to] the land of the Philistines and unto the border  of Egypt: they are bringing nigh a present, and serving  Solomon, all days of his life. 
11O 004:022 And the provision of Solomon for one day is thirty cors of  flour, and sixty cors of meal; 
11O 004:023 ten fat oxen, and twenty feeding oxen, and a hundred sheep,  apart from hart, and roe, and fallow-deer, and fatted beasts of  the stalls, 
11O 004:024 for he is ruling over all beyond the river, from Tiphsah  and unto Gaza, over all the kings beyond the river, and he hath  peace from all his servants round about. 
11O 004:025 And Judah dwelleth -- and Israel -- in confidence, each  under his vine, and under his fig-tree, from Dan even unto  Beer-Sheba, all the days of Solomon. 
11O 004:026 And Solomon hath forty thousand stalls of horses for his  chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen. 
11O 004:027 And these officers have sustained king Solomon and every  one drawing near unto the table of king Solomon, each [in] his  month; they let nothing be lacking. 
11O 004:028 And the barley and the straw, for horses and for  dromedaries, they bring in unto the place where they are, each  according to his ordinance. 
11O 004:029 And God giveth wisdom to Solomon, and understanding, very  much, and breadth of heart, as the sand that [is] on the edge  of the sea; 
11O 004:030 and the wisdom of Solomon is greater than the wisdom of any  of the sons of the east, and than all the wisdom of Egypt; 
11O 004:031 and he is wiser than all men, than Ethan the Ezrahite, and  Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, sons of Mahol, and his name is  in all the nations round about. 
11O 004:032 And he speaketh three thousand similes, and his songs [are]  five, and the chief one; 
11O 004:033 and he speaketh concerning the trees, from the cedar that  [is] in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that is coming out in the  wall, and he speaketh concerning the cattle, and concerning the  fowl, and concerning the creeping things, and concerning the  fishes, 
11O 004:034 and there come out of all the peoples to hear the wisdom of  Solomon, from all kings of the earth who have heard of his  wisdom. 
11O 005:001 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon,  for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his  father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days; 
11O 005:002 and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying, 
11O 005:003 `Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able  to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the  wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting  them under the soles of his feet. 
11O 005:004 `And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about,  there is no adversary nor evil occurrence, 
11O 005:005 and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah  my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son  whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the  house for My name. 
11O 005:006 `And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of  Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of  thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest,  for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted  with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.' 
11O 005:007 And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of  Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, `Blessed  [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over  this numerous people.' 
11O 005:008 And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that  which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning  cedar-wood, and fir-wood, 
11O 005:009 my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make  them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto  me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them]  up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my  house.' 
11O 005:010 And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees,  all his desire, 
11O 005:011 and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of  wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus  doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year. 
11O 005:012 And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to  him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they  make a covenant both of them. 
11O 005:013 And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel,  and the tribute is thirty thousand men, 
11O 005:014 and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by  changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own  house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute. 
11O 005:015 And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and  eighty thousand hewing in the mountain, 
11O 005:016 apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are]  over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling  over the people who are working in the business. 
11O 005:017 And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones,  precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn  stones; 
11O 005:018 and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and  the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build  the house. 
11O 006:001 And it cometh to pass, in the four hundred and eightieth  year of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of  Egypt, in the fourth year -- in the month of Zif, it [is] the  second month -- of the reigning of Solomon over Israel, that he  buildeth the house for Jehovah. 
11O 006:002 As to the house that king Solomon hath built for Jehovah,  sixty cubits [is] its length, and twenty its breadth, and  thirty cubits its height. 
11O 006:003 As to the porch on the front of the temple of the house,  twenty cubits [is] its length on the front of the breadth of  the house; ten by the cubit [is] its breadth on the front of  the house; 
11O 006:004 and he maketh for the house windows of narrow lights. 
11O 006:005 And he buildeth against the wall of the house a couch round  about, [even] the walls of the house round about, of the temple  and of the oracle, and maketh sides round about. 
11O 006:006 The lowest couch, five by the cubit [is] its breadth; and  the middle, six by the cubit [is] its breadth; and the third,  seven by the cubit [is] its breadth, for withdrawings he hath  put to the house round about, without -- not to lay hold on the  walls of the house. 
11O 006:007 And the house, in its being built, of perfect stone brought  [thither] hath been built, and hammer, and the axe -- any  instrument of iron -- was not heard in the house, in its being  built. 
11O 006:008 The opening of the middle side [is] at the right shoulder of  the house, and with windings they go up on the middle one, and  from the middle one unto the third. 
11O 006:009 And he buildeth the house, and completeth it, and covereth  the house [with] beams and rows of cedars. 
11O 006:010 And he buildeth the couch against all the house, five  cubits [is] its height, and it taketh hold of the house by  cedar-wood. 
11O 006:011 And the word of Jehovah is unto Solomon, saying, 
11O 006:012 `This house that thou art building -- if thou dost walk in  My statutes, and My judgments dost do, yea, hast done all My  commands, to walk in them, then I have established My word with  thee, which I spake unto David thy father, 
11O 006:013 and have tabernacled in the midst of the sons of Israel,  and do not forsake My people Israel.' 
11O 006:014 And Solomon buildeth the house and completeth it; 
11O 006:015 and he buildeth the walls of the house within with beams of  cedar, from the floor of the house unto the walls of the  ceiling; he hath overlaid with wood the inside, and covereth  the floor of the house with ribs of fir. 
11O 006:016 And he buildeth the twenty cubits on the sides of the house  with ribs of cedar, from the floor unto the walls; and he  buildeth for it within, for the oracle, for the holy of holies. 
11O 006:017 And forty by the cubit was the house, it [is] the temple  before [it]. 
11O 006:018 And the cedar for the house within [is] carvings of knobs  and openings of flowers; the whole [is] cedar, there is not a  stone seen. 
11O 006:019 And the oracle in the midst of the house within he hath  prepared, to put there the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 
11O 006:020 And before the oracle [is] twenty cubits in length, and  twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits [is] its height;  and he overlayeth it with gold refined, and overlayeth the  altar with cedar. 
11O 006:021 And Solomon overlayeth the house within with gold refined,  and causeth [it] to pass over in chains of gold before the  oracle, and overlayeth it with gold. 
11O 006:022 And the whole of the house he hath overlaid with gold, till  the completion of all the house; and the whole of the altar  that the oracle hath, he hath overlaid with gold. 
11O 006:023 And he maketh within the oracle two cherubs, of the  oil-tree, ten cubits [is] their height; 
11O 006:024 and five cubits [is] the one wing of the cherub, and five  cubits the second wing of the cherub, ten cubits from the ends  of its wings even unto the ends of its wings; 
11O 006:025 and ten by the cubit [is] the second cherub, one measure  and one form [are] to the two cherubs, 
11O 006:026 the height of the one cherub [is] ten by the cubit, and so  [is] the second cherub; 
11O 006:027 and he setteth the cherubs in the midst of the inner house,  and they spread out the wings of the cherubs, and a wing of the  one cometh against the wall, and a wing of the second cherub is  coming against the second wall, and their wings [are] unto the  midst of the house, coming wing against wing; 
11O 006:028 and he overlayeth the cherubs with gold, 
11O 006:029 and all the walls of the house round about he hath carved  with openings of carvings, cherubs, and palm trees, and  openings of flowers, within and without. 
11O 006:030 And the floor of the house he hath overlaid with gold,  within and without; 
11O 006:031 as to the opening of the oracle, he made doors of the  oil-tree; the lintel, side-posts, a fifth. 
11O 006:032 And the two doors [are] of the oil-tree, and he hath carved  upon them carvings of cherubs, and palm-trees, and openings of  flowers, and overlaid with gold, and he causeth the gold to go  down on the cherubs and on the palm-trees. 
11O 006:033 And so he hath made for the opening of the temple,  side-posts of the oil-tree, from the fourth. 
11O 006:034 And the two doors [are] of fir-tree, the two sides of the  one door are revolving, and the two hangings of the second door  are revolving. 
11O 006:035 And he hath carved cherubs, and palms, and openings of  flowers, and overlaid with straightened gold the graved work. 
11O 006:036 And he buildeth the inner court, three rows of hewn work,  and a row of beams of cedar. 
11O 006:037 In the fourth year hath the house of Jehovah been founded,  in the month Zif, 
11O 006:038 and in the eleventh year, in the month Bul -- [that is] the  eighth month -- hath the house been finished in all its  matters, and in all its ordinances, and he buildeth it seven  years. 
11O 007:001 And his own house hath Solomon built thirteen years, and he  finisheth all his house. 
11O 007:002 And he buildeth the house of the forest of Lebanon; a  hundred cubits [is] its length, and fifty cubits its breadth,  and thirty cubits its height, on four rows of cedar pillars,  and cedar-beams on the pillars; 
11O 007:003 and [it is] covered with cedar above, on the sides that  [are] on the forty and five pillars, fifteen in the row. 
11O 007:004 And windows [are] in three rows, and sight [is] over-against  sight three times. 
11O 007:005 And all the openings and the side-posts [are] square --  windows; and sight [is] over-against sight three times. 
11O 007:006 And the porch of the pillars he hath made; fifty cubits its  length, and thirty cubits its breadth, and the porch [is]  before them, and pillars and a thick place [are] before them. 
11O 007:007 And the porch of the throne where he judgeth -- the porch of  judgment -- he hath made, and [it is] covered with cedar from  the floor unto the floor. 
11O 007:008 As to his house where he dwelleth, the other court [is]  within the porch -- as this work it hath been; and a house he  maketh for the daughter of Pharaoh -- whom Solomon hath taken  -- like this porch. 
11O 007:009 All these [are] of precious stone, according to the measures  of hewn work, sawn with a saw, within and without, even from  the foundation unto the coping, and at the outside, unto the  great court. 
11O 007:010 And the foundation [is] of precious stone, great stones,  stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits; 
11O 007:011 and above [are] precious stone, according to the measures  of hewn work, and cedar; 
11O 007:012 and the great court round about [is] three rows of hewn  work, and a row of cedar-beams, even for the inner court of the  house of Jehovah, and for the porch of the house. 
11O 007:013 And king Solomon sendeth and taketh Hiram out of Tyre -- 
11O 007:014 he [is] son of a woman, a widow, of the tribe of Naphtali,  and his father a man of Tyre, a worker in brass, and he is  filled with the wisdom and the understanding, and the knowledge  to do all work in brass -- and he cometh unto king Solomon, and  doth all his work. 
11O 007:015 And he formeth the two pillars of brass; eighteen cubits  [is] the height of the one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits  doth compass the second pillar. 
11O 007:016 And two chapiters he hath made to put on the tops of the  pillars, cast in brass; five cubits the height of the one  chapiter, and five cubits the height of the second chapiter. 
11O 007:017 Nets of net-work, wreaths of chain-work [are] for the  chapiters that [are] on the top of the pillars, seven for the  one chapiter, and seven for the second chapiter. 
11O 007:018 And he maketh the pillars, and two rows round about on the  one net-work, to cover the chapiters that [are] on the top,  with the pomegranates, and so he hath made for the second  chapiter. 
11O 007:019 And the chapiters that [are] on the top of the pillars  [are] of lily-work in the porch, four cubits; 
11O 007:020 and the chapiters on the two pillars also above,  over-against the protuberance that [is] beside the net; and the  pomegranates [are] two hundred, in rows round about on the  second chapiter. 
11O 007:021 And he raiseth up the pillars for the porch of the temple,  and he raiseth up the right pillar, and calleth its name  Jachin, and he raiseth up the left pillar, and calleth its name  Boaz; 
11O 007:022 and on the top of the pillars [is] lily-work; and the work  of the pillars [is] completed. 
11O 007:023 And he maketh the molten sea, ten by the cubit from its  edge unto its edge; [it is] round all about, and five by the  cubit [is] its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth  compass it round about; 
11O 007:024 and knops beneath its brim round about are compassing it,  ten by the cubit, going round the sea round about; in two rows  [are] the knops, cast in its being cast. 
11O 007:025 It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and  three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three  facing the east, and the sea [is] upon them above, and all  their hinder parts [are] inward. 
11O 007:026 And its thickness [is] an handbreadth, and its edge as the  work of the edge of a cup, flowers of lilies; two thousand  baths it containeth. 
11O 007:027 And he maketh the ten bases of brass; four by the cubit  [is] the length of the one base, and four by the cubit its  breadth, and three by the cubit its height. 
11O 007:028 And this [is] the work of the base: they have borders, and  the borders [are] between the joinings; 
11O 007:029 and on the borders that [are] between the joinings [are]  lions, oxen, and cherubs, and on the joinings a base above, and  beneath the lions and the oxen [are] additions -- sloping work. 
11O 007:030 And four wheels of brass [are] to the one base, and axles  of brass; and its four corners have shoulders -- under the  laver [are] the molten shoulders, beside each addition. 
11O 007:031 And its mouth within the chapiter and above [is] by the  cubit, and its mouth [is] round, the work of the base, a cubit  and half a cubit; and also on its mouth [are] carvings and  their borders, square, not round. 
11O 007:032 And the four wheels [are] under the borders, and the spokes  of the wheels [are] in the base, and the height of the one  wheel [is] a cubit and half a cubit. 
11O 007:033 And the work of the wheels [is] as the work of the wheel of  a chariot, their spokes, and their axles, and their felloes,  and their naves; the whole [is] molten. 
11O 007:034 And four shoulders [are] unto the four corners of the one  base; out of the base [are] its shoulders. 
11O 007:035 And in the top of the base [is] the half of a cubit in the  height all round about; and on the top of the base its spokes  and its borders [are] of the same. 
11O 007:036 And he openeth on the tablets of its spokes, and on its  borders, cherubs, lions, and palm-trees, according to the void  space of each, and additions round about. 
11O 007:037 Thus he hath made the ten bases; one casting, one measure,  one form, have they all. 
11O 007:038 And he maketh ten lavers of brass; forty baths doth the one  laver contain, four by the cubit [is] the one laver, one laver  on the one base [is] to the ten bases; 
11O 007:039 and he putteth the five bases on the right side of the  house, and five on the left side of the house, and the sea he  hath put on the right side of the house, eastward --  over-against the south. 
11O 007:040 And Hiram maketh the lavers, and the shovels, and the  bowls; and Hiram completeth to do all the work that he made for  king Solomon, [for] the house of Jehovah; 
11O 007:041 pillars two, and bowls of the chapiters that [are] on the  top of the pillars two, and the nets two, to cover the two  bowls of the chapiters that [are] on the top of the pillars; 
11O 007:042 and the pomegranates four hundred for the two nets, two  rows of pomegranates for the one net, to cover the two bowls of  the chapiters that [are] on the front of the pillars; 
11O 007:043 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases; 
11O 007:044 and the one sea, the twelve oxen under the sea, 
11O 007:045 and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls; and all these  vessels, that Hiram hath made to king Solomon [for] the house  of Jehovah, [are] of brass -- polished. 
11O 007:046 In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in  the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zarthan. 
11O 007:047 And Solomon placeth the whole of the vessels; because of  the very great abundance, the weight of the brass hath not been  searched out. 
11O 007:048 And Solomon maketh all the vessels that [are] in the house  of Jehovah: the altar of gold, and the table -- on which [is]  the bread of the Presence -- of gold, 
11O 007:049 and the candlesticks, five on the right, and five on the  left, before the oracle, of refined gold, and the flowers, and  the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, 
11O 007:050 and the basins, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the  spoons, and the censers, of refined gold, and the hinges for  the doors of the inner-house, for the holy of holies, for the  doors of the house of the temple, of gold. 
11O 007:051 And it is complete -- all the work that king Solomon hath  made [for] the house of Jehovah, and Solomon bringeth in the  sanctified things of David his father; the silver, and the  gold, and the vessels he hath put in the treasuries of the  house of Jehovah. 
11O 008:001 Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the  heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of  Israel, unto king Solomon, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of  the covenant of Jehovah from the city of David -- it [is] Zion; 
11O 008:002 and all the men of Israel are assembled unto king Solomon,  in the month of Ethanim, in the festival -- [is] the seventh  month. 
11O 008:003 And all the elders of Israel come in, and the priests lift  up the ark, 
11O 008:004 and bring up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting,  and all the holy vessels that [are] in the tent, yea, the  priests and the Levites bring them up. 
11O 008:005 And king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are met  unto him [are] with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and  oxen, that are not counted nor numbered for multitude. 
11O 008:006 And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah  unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of  holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs; 
11O 008:007 for the cherubs are spreading forth two wings unto the place  of the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its  staves from above; 
11O 008:008 and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves  are seen from the holy [place] on the front of the oracle, and  are not seen without, and they are there unto this day. 
11O 008:009 There is nothing in the ark, only the two tables of stone  which Moses put there in Horeb, when Jehovah covenanted with  the sons of Israel in their going out of the land of Egypt. 
11O 008:010 And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from  the holy [place], that the cloud hath filled the house of  Jehovah, 
11O 008:011 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister  because of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath filled the  house of Jehovah. 
11O 008:012 Then said Solomon, `Jehovah hath said to dwell in thick  darkness; 
11O 008:013 I have surely built a house of habitation for Thee; a fixed  place for Thine abiding to the ages.' 
11O 008:014 And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole  assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel is standing. 
11O 008:015 And he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who  spake by His mouth with David my father, and by His hand hath  fulfilled [it], saying, 
11O 008:016 From the day that I brought out My people, even Israel,  from Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of all the tribes of  Israel, to build a house for My name being there; and I fix on  David to be over My people Israel. 
11O 008:017 `And it is with the heart of David my father to build a  house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, 
11O 008:018 and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it  hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou  hast done well that it hath been with thy heart; 
11O 008:019 only, thou dost not build the house, but thy son who is  coming out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name. 
11O 008:020 `And Jehovah doth establish His word which He spake, and I  am risen up instead of David my father, and sit on the throne  of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and build the house for the name  of Jehovah, God of Israel, 
11O 008:021 and set there a place for the ark, where [is] the covenant  of Jehovah which He made with our fathers in His bringing them  out from the land of Egypt.' 
11O 008:022 And Solomon standeth before the altar of Jehovah,  over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth his  hands towards the heavens, 
11O 008:023 and saith, `Jehovah, God of Israel, there is not a God like  Thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, keeping  the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants, those walking  before Thee with all their heart, 
11O 008:024 who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which  Thou spakest to him; yea, Thou speakest with Thy mouth, and  with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as [at] this day. 
11O 008:025 `And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant  David my father that which Thou spakest to him, saying, There  is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the  throne of Israel -- only, if thy sons watch their way, to walk  before Me as thou hast walked before Me. 
11O 008:026 `And now, O God of Israel, let it be established, I pray  Thee, Thy word which Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, David my  father. 
11O 008:027 But, is it true? -- God dwelleth on the earth! lo, the  heavens, and the heavens of the heavens do not contain Thee,  how much less this house which I have builded! 
11O 008:028 `Then thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and  unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the  cry and unto the prayer which Thy servant is praying before  Thee to-day, 
11O 008:029 for Thine eyes being open towards this house night and day,  towards the place of which Thou hast said, My Name is there; to  hearken unto the prayer which Thy servant prayeth towards this  place. 
11O 008:030 `Then Thou hast hearkened unto the supplication of Thy  servant, and of Thy people Israel, which they pray towards this  place; yea, Thou dost hearken in the place of Thy dwelling, in  the heavens -- and Thou hast hearkened, and hast forgiven, 
11O 008:031 that which a man sinneth against his neighbour, and he hath  lifted up upon him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath  hath come in before Thine altar in this house, 
11O 008:032 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast done, and hast  judged Thy servants, to declare wicked the wicked, to put his  way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to  give him according to his righteousness. 
11O 008:033 `In Thy people Israel being smitten before an enemy,  because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back unto  Thee, and have confessed Thy name, and prayed, and made  supplication unto Thee in this house, 
11O 008:034 then thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the  sin of Thy people Israel, and brought them back unto the ground  that Thou gavest to their fathers. 
11O 008:035 `In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain,  because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards  this place, and confessed Thy name, and from their sin turn  back, for Thou dost afflict them, 
11O 008:036 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the  sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, for Thou  directest them the good way in which they go, and hast given  rain on Thy land which Thou hast given to Thy people for  inheritance. 
11O 008:037 `Famine -- when it is in the land; pestilence -- when it  is; blasting, mildew, locust; caterpillar -- when it is; when  its enemy hath distressed it in the land [in] its gates, any  plague, any sickness, -- 
11O 008:038 any prayer, any supplication that [is] of any man of all  Thy people Israel, who know each the plague of his own heart,  and hath spread his hands towards this house, 
11O 008:039 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of  Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast done, and hast given  to each according to all his ways, whose heart Thou knowest,  (for Thou hast known -- Thyself alone -- the heart of all the  sons of man), 
11O 008:040 so that they fear Thee all the days that they are living on  the face of the ground that Thou hast given to our fathers. 
11O 008:041 `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people  Israel, and hath come from a land afar off for Thy name's sake  -- 
11O 008:042 (for they hear of Thy great name, and of Thy strong hand,  and of Thy stretched-out arm) -- and he hath come in and prayed  towards this house, 
11O 008:043 Thou dost hear in the heavens, the settled place of Thy  dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger  calleth unto Thee for, in order that all the peoples of the  earth may know Thy name, to fear Thee like Thy people Israel,  and to know that Thy name hath been called on this house which  I have builded. 
11O 008:044 `When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemy,  in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto  Jehovah the way of the city which thou hast fixed on, and of  the house which I have builded for Thy name; 
11O 008:045 then Thou hast heard in the heavens their prayer and their  supplication, and hast maintained their cause. 
11O 008:046 `When they sin against Thee (for there is not a man who  sinneth not), and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast  given them up before an enemy, and they have taken captive  their captivity unto the land of the enemy far off or near; 
11O 008:047 and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land  whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and  made supplication unto Thee, in the land of their captors,  saying, We have sinned and done perversely -- we have done  wickedly; 
11O 008:048 yea, they have turned back unto Thee, with all their heart,  and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies who have  taken them captive, and have prayed unto Thee the way of their  land, which Thou gavest to their fathers, the city which Thou  hast chosen, and the house which I have builded for Thy name: 
11O 008:049 `Then Thou hast heard in the heavens, the settled place of  Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and hast  maintained their cause, 
11O 008:050 and hast forgiven Thy people who have sinned against Thee,  even all their transgressions which they have transgressed  against Thee, and hast given them mercies before their captors,  and they have had mercy [on] them -- 
11O 008:051 (for Thy people and Thy inheritance [are] they, whom Thou  didst bring out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of  iron) -- 
11O 008:052 for Thine eyes being open unto the supplication of Thy  servant, and unto the supplication of Thy people Israel, to  hearken unto them in all they call unto Thee for; 
11O 008:053 for Thou hast separated them to Thyself for an inheritance,  out of all the peoples of the earth, as Thou didst speak by the  hand of Moses Thy servant, in Thy bringing out our fathers from  Egypt, O Lord Jehovah.' 
11O 008:054 And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to pray unto  Jehovah all this prayer and supplication, he hath risen from  before the altar of Jehovah, from bending on his knees, and his  hands spread out to the heavens, 
11O 008:055 and he standeth and blesseth all the assembly of Israel  [with] a loud voice, saying, 
11O 008:056 `Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath given rest to His people  Israel, according to all that He hath spoken; there hath not  fallen one word of all His good word, which He spake by the  hand of Moses his servant. 
11O 008:057 `Jehovah our God is with us as He hath been with our  fathers; He doth not forsake us nor leave us; 
11O 008:058 to incline our heart unto Himself, to walk in all His ways,  and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments,  which He commanded our fathers; 
11O 008:059 and these my words with which I have made supplication  before Jehovah, are near unto Jehovah our God by day and by  night, to maintain the cause of His servant, and the cause of  His people Israel, the matter of a day in its day; 
11O 008:060 for all the peoples of the earth knowing that Jehovah, He  [is] God; there is none else; 
11O 008:061 and your heart hath been perfect with Jehovah our God, to  walk in His statutes, and to keep His commands, as [at] this  day.' 
11O 008:062 And the king and all Israel with him are sacrificing a  sacrifice before Jehovah; 
11O 008:063 and Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of peace-offerings,  which he hath sacrificed to Jehovah, oxen, twenty and two  thousand, and sheep, a hundred and twenty thousand; and the  king and all the sons of Israel dedicate the house of Jehovah. 
11O 008:064 On that day hath the king sanctified the middle of the  court that [is] before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made  there the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat of the  peace-offerings; for the altar of brass that [is] before  Jehovah [is] too little to contain the burnt-offering, and the  present, and the fat of the peace-offerings. 
11O 008:065 And Solomon maketh, at that time, the festival -- and all  Israel with him, a great assembly from the entering in of  Hamath unto the brook of Egypt -- before Jehovah our God, seven  days and seven days; fourteen days. 
11O 008:066 On the eighth day he hath sent the people away, and they  bless the king, and go to their tents, rejoicing and glad of  heart for all the good that Jehovah hath done to David His  servant, and to Israel His people. 
11O 009:001 And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the  house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire  of Solomon that he delighted to do, 
11O 009:002 that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He  appeared unto him in Gibeon, 
11O 009:003 and Jehovah saith unto him, `I have heard thy prayer and thy  supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me;  I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name  there -- unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been  there all the days. 
11O 009:004 `And thou -- if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father  walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do  according to all that I have commanded thee -- My statutes and  My judgments thou dost keep -- 
11O 009:005 then I have established the throne of thy kingdom over  Israel -- to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying,  There is not cut off to thee a man from [being] on the throne  of Israel. 
11O 009:006 `If ye at all turn back -- you and your sons -- from after  Me, and keep not My commands -- My statutes, that I have set  before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed  yourselves to them, 
11O 009:007 then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that  I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My  name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a  simile and for a byword among all the peoples; 
11O 009:008 as to this house, [that] is high, every one passing by it is  astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath  Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house? 
11O 009:009 and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah  their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of  Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to  them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon  them all this evil.' 
11O 009:010 And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that  Solomon hath built the two houses, the house of Jehovah, and  the house of the king. 
11O 009:011 Hiram king of Tyre hath assisted Solomon with cedar-trees,  and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire;  then doth king Solomon give to Hiram twenty cities in the land  of Galilee. 
11O 009:012 And Hiram cometh out from Tyre to see the cities that  Solomon hath given to him, and they have not been right in his  eyes, 
11O 009:013 and he saith, `What [are] these cities that thou hast given  to me, my brother?' and one calleth them the land of Cabul unto  this day. 
11O 009:014 And Hiram sendeth to the king a hundred and twenty talents  of gold. 
11O 009:015 And this [is] the matter of the tribute that king Solomon  hath lifted up, to build the house of Jehovah, and his own  house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and  Megiddo, and Gezer, 
11O 009:016 (Pharaoh king of Egypt hath gone up and doth capture Gezer,  and doth burn it with fire, and the Canaanite who is dwelling  in the city he hath slain, and giveth it [with] presents to his  daughter, wife of Solomon.) 
11O 009:017 And Solomon buildeth Gezer, and Beth-Horon the lower, 
11O 009:018 and Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land; 
11O 009:019 and all the cities of stores that king Solomon hath, and  the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and  the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem,  and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion. 
11O 009:020 The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the  Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are]  not of the sons of Israel -- 
11O 009:021 their sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the  sons of Israel have not been able to devote -- he hath even  lifted up [on] them a tribute of service unto this day. 
11O 009:022 And out of the sons of Israel Solomon hath not appointed a  servant, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and  his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and  his horsemen. 
11O 009:023 These [are] the heads of the officers who [are] over the  work of Solomon, fifty and five hundred, those ruling among the  people who are labouring in the work. 
11O 009:024 Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the city of  David unto her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he  built Millo. 
11O 009:025 And Solomon caused to ascend, three times in a year,  burnt-offerings and peace-offerings on the altar that he built  to Jehovah, and he perfumed it with that which [is] before  Jehovah, and finished the house. 
11O 009:026 And a navy hath king Solomon made in Ezion-Geber, that is  beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, in the land of  Edom. 
11O 009:027 And Hiram sendeth in the navy his servants, shipmen knowing  the sea, with servants of Solomon, 
11O 009:028 and they come in to Ophir and take thence gold, four  hundred and twenty talents, and bring [it] in unto king  Solomon. 
11O 010:001 And the queen of Sheba is hearing of the fame of Solomon  concerning the name of Jehovah, and cometh to try him with  enigmas, 
11O 010:002 and she cometh to Jerusalem, with a very great company,  camels bearing spices, and very much gold, and precious stone,  and she cometh unto Solomon, and speaketh unto him all that  hath been with her heart. 
11O 010:003 And Solomon declareth to her all her matters -- there hath  not been a thing hid from the king that he hath not declared to  her. 
11O 010:004 And the queen of Sheba seeth all the wisdom of Solomon, and  the house that he built, 
11O 010:005 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants,  and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his  butlers, and his burnt-offering that he causeth to ascend in  the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been in her any more  spirit. 
11O 010:006 And she saith unto the king, `True hath been the word that  I heard in my land, concerning thy matters and thy wisdom; 
11O 010:007 and I gave no credence to the words till that I have come,  and my eyes see, and lo, it was not declared to me -- the half;  thou hast added wisdom and goodness unto the report that I  heard. 
11O 010:008 O the happiness of thy men, O the happiness of thy servants  -- these -- who are standing before thee continually, who are  hearing thy wisdom! 
11O 010:009 Jehovah thy God is blessed who delighted in thee, to put  thee on the throne of Israel; in Jehovah's loving Israel to the  age He doth set thee for king, to do judgment and  righteousness. 
11O 010:010 And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of  gold, and spices very many, and precious stone; there came not  like that spice any more for abundance that the queen of Sheba  gave to king Solomon. 
11O 010:011 And also, the navy of Hiram that bore gold from Ophir,  brought in from Ophir almug-trees very many, and precious  stone; 
11O 010:012 and the king maketh the almug-trees a support for the  house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and  psalteries for singers; there have not come such almug-trees,  nor have there been seen [such] unto this day. 
11O 010:013 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire  that she asked, apart from that which he gave to her as a  memorial of king Solomon, and she turneth and goeth to her  land, she and her servants. 
11O 010:014 And the weight of the gold that hath come to Solomon in  one year is six hundred sixty and six talents of gold, 
11O 010:015 apart from [that of] the tourists, and of the traffic of  the merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the  governors of the land. 
11O 010:016 And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed  gold -- six hundred of gold go up on the one target; 
11O 010:017 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold -- three pounds  of gold go up on the one shield; and the king putteth them [in]  the house of the forest of Lebanon. 
11O 010:018 And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and  overlayeth it with refined gold; 
11O 010:019 six steps hath the throne, and a round top [is] to the  throne behind it, and hands [are] on this [side] and on that,  unto the place of the sitting, and two lions are standing near  the hands, 
11O 010:020 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps, on  this [side] and on that; it hath not been made so for any  kingdom. 
11O 010:021 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of  gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon  [are] of refined gold -- there are none of silver; it was not  reckoned in the days of Solomon for anything, 
11O 010:022 for a navy of Tarshish hath the king at sea with a navy of  Hiram; once in three years cometh the navy of Tarshish, bearing  gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks. 
11O 010:023 And king Solomon is greater than any of the kings of the  earth for riches and for wisdom, 
11O 010:024 and all the earth is seeking the presence of Solomon, to  hear his wisdom that God hath put into his heart, 
11O 010:025 and they are bringing each his present, vessels of silver,  and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices,  horses, and mules, the matter of a year in a year. 
11O 010:026 And Solomon gathereth chariots, and horsemen, and he hath  a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand  horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariot, and  with the king in Jerusalem. 
11O 010:027 And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and  the cedars he hath made as the sycamores that [are] in the low  country, for abundance. 
11O 010:028 And the outgoing of the horses that king Solomon hath  [is] from Egypt, and from Keveh; merchants of the king take  from Keveh at a price; 
11O 010:029 and a chariot cometh up and cometh out of Egypt for six  hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and  so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of  Aram; by their hand they bring out. 
11O 011:001 And king Solomon hath loved many strange women, and the  daughter of Pharaoh, females of Moab, Ammon, Edom, Zidon, [and]  of the Hittites, 
11O 011:002 of the nations of which Jehovah said unto the sons of  Israel, `Ye do not go in to them, and they do not go in to you;  surely they turn aside your heart after their gods;' to them  hath Solomon cleaved for love. 
11O 011:003 And he hath women, princesses, seven hundred, and  concubines three hundred; and his wives turn aside his heart. 
11O 011:004 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the old age of  Solomon, his wives have turned aside his heart after other  gods, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God,  like the heart of David his father. 
11O 011:005 And Solomon goeth after Ashtoreth god[dess] of the  Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites; 
11O 011:006 and Solomon doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  hath not been fully after Jehovah, like David his father. 
11O 011:007 Then doth Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the  abomination of Moab, in the hill that [is] on the front of  Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon; 
11O 011:008 and so he hath done for all his strange women, who are  perfuming and sacrificing to their gods. 
11O 011:009 And Jehovah sheweth Himself angry with Solomon, for his  heart hath turned aside from Jehovah, God of Israel, who had  appeared unto him twice, 
11O 011:010 and given a charge unto him concerning this thing, not to  go after other gods; and he hath not kept that which Jehovah  commanded, 
11O 011:011 and Jehovah saith to Solomon, `Because that this hath been  with thee, and thou hast not kept My covenant and My statutes  that I charged upon thee, I surely rend the kingdom from thee,  and have given it to thy servant. 
11O 011:012 `Only, in thy days I do it not, for the sake of David thy  father; out of the hand of thy son I rend it; 
11O 011:013 only all the kingdom I do not rend away; one tribe I give  to thy son, for the sake of David My servant, and for the sake  of Jerusalem, that I have chosen.' 
11O 011:014 And Jehovah raiseth up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the  Edomite; of the seed of the king [is] he in Edom; 
11O 011:015 and it cometh to pass, in David's being with Edom, in the  going up of Joab head of the host to bury the slain, that he  smiteth every male in Edom -- 
11O 011:016 for six months did Joab abide there, and all Israel, till  the cutting off of every male in Edom -- 
11O 011:017 and Hadad fleeth, he and certain Edomites, of the servants  of his father, with him, to go in to Egypt, and Hadad [is] a  little youth, 
11O 011:018 and they rise out of Midian, and come into Paran, and take  men with them out of Paran, and come in to Egypt, unto Pharaoh  king of Egypt, and he giveth to him a house, and bread hath  commanded for him, and land hath given to him. 
11O 011:019 And Hadad findeth grace in the eyes of Pharaoh  exceedingly, and he giveth to him a wife, the sister of his own  wife, sister of Tahpenes the mistress; 
11O 011:020 and the sister of Tahpenes beareth to him Genubath his  son, and Tahpenes weaneth him within the house of Pharaoh, and  Genubath is in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of  Pharaoh. 
11O 011:021 And Hadad hath heard in Egypt that David hath lain with  his fathers, and that Joab head of the host is dead, and Hadad  saith unto Pharaoh, `Send me away, and I go unto my land.' 
11O 011:022 And Pharaoh saith to him, `But, what art thou lacking with  me, that lo, thou art seeking to go unto thine own land?' and  he saith, `Nay, but thou dost certainly send me away.' 
11O 011:023 And God raiseth to him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliadah,  who hath fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah, his lord, 
11O 011:024 and gathereth unto himself men, and is head of a troop in  David's slaying them, and they go to Damascus, and dwell in it,  and reign in Damascus; 
11O 011:025 and he is an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon,  (besides the evil that Hadad [did]), and he cutteth off in  Israel, and reigneth over Aram. 
11O 011:026 And Jeroboam son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda -- the  name of whose mother [is] Zeruah, a widow woman -- servant to  Solomon, he also lifteth up a hand against the king; 
11O 011:027 and this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand  against the king: Solomon built Millo -- he shut up the breach  of the city of David his father, 
11O 011:028 and the man Jeroboam [is] mighty in valour, and Solomon  seeth the young man that he is doing business, and appointeth  him over all the burden of the house of Joseph. 
11O 011:029 And it cometh to pass, at that time, that Jeroboam hath  gone out from Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet,  findeth him in the way, and he is covering himself with a new  garment; and both of them [are] by themselves in a field, 
11O 011:030 and Ahijah layeth hold on the new garment that [is] on  him, and rendeth it -- twelve pieces, 
11O 011:031 and saith to Jeroboam, `Take to thee ten pieces, for thus  said Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, I am rending the kingdom out  of the hand of Solomon, and have given to thee the ten tribes, 
11O 011:032 and the one tribe he hath for My servant David's sake, and  for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have fixed on, out of  all the tribes of Israel. 
11O 011:033 `Because they have forsaken Me, and bow themselves to  Ashtoreth, god[dess] of the Zidonians, to Chemosh god of Moab,  and to Milcom god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in  My ways, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes, and My  statutes and My judgments, like David his father. 
11O 011:034 `And I do not take the whole of the kingdom out of his  hand, for prince I make him all days of his life, for the sake  of David My servant whom I chose, who kept My commands and My  statutes; 
11O 011:035 and I have taken the kingdom out of the hand of his son,  and given it to thee -- the ten tribes; 
11O 011:036 and to his son I give one tribe, for there being a lamp to  David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city  that I have chosen to Myself to put My name there. 
11O 011:037 `And thee I take, and thou hast reigned over all that thy  soul desireth, and thou hast been king over Israel; 
11O 011:038 and it hath been, if thou dost hear all that I command  thee, and hast walked in My ways, and done that which is right  in Mine eyes, to keep My statutes and My commands, as did David  My servant, that I have been with thee, and have built for thee  a stedfast house, as I built for David, and have given to thee  Israel, 
11O 011:039 and I humble the seed of David for this; only, not all the  days.' 
11O 011:040 And Solomon seeketh to put Jeroboam to death, and Jeroboam  riseth and fleeth to Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and he  is in Egypt till the death of Solomon. 
11O 011:041 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, and all that he  did, and his wisdom, are they not written on the book of the  matters of Solomon? 
11O 011:042 And the days that Solomon hath reigned in Jerusalem over  all Israel [are] forty years, 
11O 011:043 and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the  city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son in  his stead. 
11O 012:001 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for to Shechem hath all  Israel come to make him king. 
11O 012:002 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's hearing  (and he [is] yet in Egypt where he hath fled from the presence  of Solomon the king, and Jeroboam dwelleth in Egypt), 
11O 012:003 that they send and call for him; and they come -- Jeroboam  and all the assembly of Israel -- and speak unto Rehoboam,  saying, 
11O 012:004 `Thy father made hard our yoke, and thou, now, make light  [some] of the hard service of thy father, and his heavy yoke  that he put upon us, and we serve thee.' 
11O 012:005 And he saith unto them, `Go -- yet three days, and come  back unto me;' and the people go. 
11O 012:006 And king Rehoboam consulteth with the elders who have been  standing in the presence of Solomon his father, in his being  alive, saying, `How are ye counselling to answer this people?' 
11O 012:007 And they speak unto him, saying, `If, to-day, thou art  servant to this people, and hast served them, and answered  them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to  thee servants all the days.' 
11O 012:008 And he forsaketh the counsel of the elders which they  counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up  with him, who are standing before him; 
11O 012:009 and he saith unto them, `What are ye counselling, and we  answer this people, who have spoken unto me, saying, Lighten  [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?' 
11O 012:010 And they speak unto him -- the lads who had grown up with  him -- saying, `Thus dost thou say to this people who have  spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and  thou, make [it] light upon us; thus dost thou speak unto them,  My little [finger] is thicker than the loins of my father; 
11O 012:011 and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I add to  your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I -- I  chastise you with scorpions.' 
11O 012:012 And they come -- Jeroboam and all the people -- unto  Rehoboam, on the third day, as the king had spoken, saying,  `Come back unto me on the third day.' 
11O 012:013 And the king answereth the people sharply, and forsaketh  the counsel of the elders which they counselled him, 
11O 012:014 and speaketh unto them, according to the counsel of the  lads, saying, `My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to  your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I -- I  chastise you with scorpions;' 
11O 012:015 and the king hearkened not unto the people, for the  revolution was from Jehovah, in order to establish His word  that Jehovah spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite unto  Jeroboam son of Nebat. 
11O 012:016 And all Israel see that the king hath not hearkened unto  them, and the people send the king back word, saying, `What  portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in the  son of Jesse; to thy tents, O Israel; now see thy house, O  David!' and Israel goeth to its tents. 
11O 012:017 As to the sons of Israel, those dwelling in the cities of  Judah -- over them reign doth Rehoboam. 
11O 012:018 And king Rehoboam sendeth Adoram who [is] over the  tribute, and all Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and  king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot  to flee to Jerusalem; 
11O 012:019 and Israel transgresseth against the house of David unto  this day. 
11O 012:020 And it cometh to pass, at all Israel's hearing that  Jeroboam hath returned, that they send and call him unto the  company, and cause him to reign over all Israel; none hath been  after the house of David save the tribe of Judah alone. 
11O 012:021 And Rehoboam cometh to Jerusalem, and assembleth all the  house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty  thousand chosen warriors, to fight with the house of Israel, to  bring back the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon. 
11O 012:022 And the word of God is unto Shemaiah a man of God, saying, 
11O 012:023 `Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and  unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and the rest of the  people, saying, 
11O 012:024 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your  brethren the sons of Israel; turn back each to his house, for  from Me hath this thing been;' and they hear the word of  Jehovah, and turn back to go according to the word of Jehovah. 
11O 012:025 And Jeroboam buildeth Shechem in the hill-country of  Ephraim, and dwelleth in it, and goeth out thence, and buildeth  Penuel; 
11O 012:026 and Jeroboam saith in his heart, `Now doth the kingdom  turn back to the house of David -- 
11O 012:027 if this people go up to make sacrifices in the house of  Jehovah in Jerusalem, then hath the heart of this people turned  back unto their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they  have slain me, and turned back unto Rehoboam king of Judah.' 
11O 012:028 And the king taketh counsel, and maketh two calves of  gold, and saith unto them, `Enough to you of going up to  Jerusalem; lo, thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of  the land of Egypt.' 
11O 012:029 And he setteth the one in Beth-El, and the other he hath  put in Dan, 
11O 012:030 and this thing becometh a sin, and the people go before  the one -- unto Dan. 
11O 012:031 And he maketh the house of high places, and maketh priests  of the extremities of the people, who were not of the sons of  Levi; 
11O 012:032 and Jeroboam maketh a festival in the eighth month, in the  fifteenth day of the month, like the festival that [is] in  Judah, and he offereth on the altar -- so did he in Beth-El --  to sacrifice to the calves which he made, and he hath appointed  in Beth-El the priests of the high places that he made. 
11O 012:033 And he offereth up on the altar that he made in Beth-El,  on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he  devised of his own heart, and he maketh a festival to the sons  of Israel, and offereth on the altar -- to make perfume. 
11O 013:001 And lo, a man of God hath come from Judah, by the word of  Jehovah, unto Beth-El, and Jeroboam is standing by the altar --  to make perfume; 
11O 013:002 and he calleth against the altar, by the word of Jehovah,  and saith, `Altar! altar! thus said Jehovah, Lo, a son is born  to the house of David -- Josiah his name -- and he hath  sacrificed on thee the priests of the high places who are  making perfume on thee, and bones of man are burnt on thee.' 
11O 013:003 And he hath given on that day a sign, saying, `This [is]  the sign that Jehovah hath spoken, Lo, the altar is rent, and  the ashes poured forth that [are] on it.' 
11O 013:004 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the word of  the man of God that he calleth against the altar in Beth-El,  that Jeroboam putteth forth his hand from off the altar,  saying, `Catch him;' and his hand is dried up that he hath put  forth against him, and he is not able to bring it back unto  him, 
11O 013:005 and the altar is rent, and the ashes poured forth from the  altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by  the word of Jehovah. 
11O 013:006 And the king answereth and saith unto the man of God,  `Appease, I pray thee, the face of Jehovah thy God, and pray  for me, and my hand doth come back unto me;' and the man of God  appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and the hand of the king cometh  back unto him, and it is as at the beginning. 
11O 013:007 And the king speaketh unto the man of God, `Come in with me  to the house, and refresh thyself, and I give to thee a gift.' 
11O 013:008 And the man of God saith unto the king, `If thou dost give  to me the half of thine house, I do not go in with thee, nor do  I eat bread, nor do I drink water, in this place; 
11O 013:009 for so He commanded me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Thou  dost not eat bread nor drink water, nor turn back in the way  that thou hast come.' 
11O 013:010 And he goeth on in another way, and hath not turned back  in the way in which he came in unto Beth-El. 
11O 013:011 And a certain aged prophet is dwelling in Beth-El, and his  son cometh and recounteth to him all the deed that the man of  God hath done to-day in Beth-El, the words that he hath spoken  unto the king, -- yea, they recount them to their father. 
11O 013:012 And their father saith unto them, `Where [is] this -- the  way he hath gone?' and his sons see the way that the man of God  hath gone who came from Judah. 
11O 013:013 And he saith unto his sons, `Saddle for me the ass,' and  they saddle for him the ass, and he rideth on it, 
11O 013:014 and goeth after the man of God, and findeth him sitting  under the oak, and saith unto him, `Art thou the man of God who  hast come from Judah?' and he saith, `I [am].' 
11O 013:015 And he saith unto him, `Come with me to the house, and eat  bread.' 
11O 013:016 And he saith, `I am not able to turn back with thee, and  to go in with thee, nor do I eat bread or drink with thee water  in this place, 
11O 013:017 for a word [is] unto me by the word of Jehovah, Thou dost  not eat bread nor drink there water, thou dost not turn back to  go in the way in which thou camest.' 
11O 013:018 And he saith to him, `I also [am] a prophet like thee, and  a messenger spake unto me by the word of Jehovah, saying, Bring  him back with thee unto thy house, and he doth eat bread and  drink water;' -- he hath lied to him. 
11O 013:019 And he turneth back with him, and eateth bread in his  house, and drinketh water. 
11O 013:020 And it cometh to pass -- they are sitting at the table --  and a word of Jehovah is unto the prophet who brought him back, 
11O 013:021 and he calleth unto the man of God who came from Judah,  saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Because that thou hast provoked the  mouth of Jehovah, and hast not kept the command that Jehovah  thy God charged thee, 
11O 013:022 and turnest back and dost eat bread and drink water in the  place of which He said unto thee, Thou dost not eat bread nor  drink water -- thy carcase cometh not in unto the burying-place  of thy fathers.' 
11O 013:023 And it cometh to pass, after his eating bread, and after  his drinking, that he saddleth for him the ass, for the prophet  whom he had brought back, 
11O 013:024 and he goeth, and a lion findeth him in the way, and  putteth him to death, and his carcase is cast in the way, and  the ass is standing near it, and the lion is standing near the  carcase. 
11O 013:025 And lo, men are passing by, and see the carcase cast in  the way, and the lion standing near the carcase, and they come  and speak [of it] in the city in which the old prophet is  dwelling. 
11O 013:026 And the prophet who brought him back out of the way  heareth and saith, `It [is] the man of God who provoked the  mouth of Jehovah, and Jehovah giveth him to the lion, and it  destroyeth him, and putteth him to death, according to the word  of Jehovah that he spake to him.' 
11O 013:027 And he speaketh unto his sons saying, `Saddle for me the  ass,' and they saddle [it]. 
11O 013:028 And he goeth and findeth his carcase cast in the way, and  the ass and the lion are standing near the carcase -- the lion  hath not eaten the carcase nor destroyed the ass. 
11O 013:029 And the prophet taketh up the carcase of the man of God,  and placeth it on the ass, and bringeth it back, and the old  prophet cometh in unto the city to mourn and to bury him, 
11O 013:030 and he placeth his carcase in his own grave, and they  mourn for him, `Oh, my brother!' 
11O 013:031 And it cometh to pass, after his burying him, that he  speaketh unto his sons, saying, `At my death -- ye have buried  me in the burying-place in which the man of God is buried; near  his bones place my bones; 
11O 013:032 for the word certainly cometh to pass that he called by  the word of Jehovah concerning the altar which [is] Beth-El,  and concerning all the houses of the high places that [are] in  cities of Samaria.' 
11O 013:033 After this thing Jeroboam hath not turned from his evil  way, and turneth back, and maketh of the extremities of the  people priests of high places; he who is desirous he  consecrateth his hand, and he is of the priests of the high  places. 
11O 013:034 And in this thing is the sin of the house of Jeroboam,  even to cut [it] off, and to destroy [it] from off the face of  the ground. 
11O 014:001 At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam sick, 
11O 014:002 and Jeroboam saith to his wife, `Rise, I pray thee, and  change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of  Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah  the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] king over this people; 
11O 014:003 and thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and  a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare  to thee what becometh of the youth.' 
11O 014:004 And the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to  Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not  able to see, for his eyes have stood because of his age. 
11O 014:005 And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, `Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is  coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is  sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to  pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.' 
11O 014:006 And it cometh to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her  feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, `Come in,  wife of Jeroboam, why is this -- thou art making thyself  strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing: 
11O 014:007 Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel,  Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the  people, and appoint thee leader over my people Israel, 
11O 014:008 and rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it  to thee, -- and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept  My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do  only that which [is] right in Mine eyes, 
11O 014:009 and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and  goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to  provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast behind thy back: 
11O 014:010 `Therefore, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of  Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the  wall -- shut up and left -- in Israel, and have put away the  posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the  dung till its consumption; 
11O 014:011 him who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and  him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for  Jehovah hath spoken. 
11O 014:012 `And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy  feet to the city -- hath the lad died; 
11O 014:013 and all Israel have mourned for him, and buried him, for  this one -- by himself -- cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave,  because there hath been found in him a good thing towards  Jehovah, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 
11O 014:014 `And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who  cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day -- and what? -- even  now! 
11O 014:015 And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by  the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground  that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the  River, because that they made their shrines, provoking Jehovah  to anger; 
11O 014:016 and He giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam  that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin.' 
11O 014:017 And the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to  Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the  youth dieth; 
11O 014:018 and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel,  according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of  His servant Ahijah the prophet. 
11O 014:019 And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, how he fought,  and how he reigned, lo, they are written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel. 
11O 014:020 And the days that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two  years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his  son in his stead. 
11O 014:021 And Rehoboam son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son  of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and  seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that  Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of  Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess. 
11O 014:022 And Judah doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their  sins that they have sinned. 
11O 014:023 And they build -- also they -- for themselves high places,  and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, and  under every green tree; 
11O 014:024 and also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have  done according to all the abominations of the nations that  Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel. 
11O 014:025 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam,  gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem, 
11O 014:026 and he taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and  the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath  taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon made. 
11O 014:027 And king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass,  and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the  runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king, 
11O 014:028 and it cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to  the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought  them back unto the chamber of the runners. 
11O 014:029 And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he  did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the  kings of Judah? 
11O 014:030 And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the  days; 
11O 014:031 and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried with  his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother  [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in  his stead. 
11O 015:001 And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat,  reigned hath Abijam over Judah; 
11O 015:002 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of  his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom; 
11O 015:003 and he walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did  before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah  his God, as the heart of David his father; 
11O 015:004 but for David's sake hath Jehovah his God given to him a  lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to  establish Jerusalem, 
11O 015:005 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of  Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him  all days of his life -- only in the matter of Uriah the  Hittite; 
11O 015:006 and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the  days of his life. 
11O 015:007 And the rest of the matters of Abijam, and all that he did,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam and Jeroboam; 
11O 015:008 and Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the  city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead. 
11O 015:009 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel  reigned hath Asa over Judah, 
11O 015:010 and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and  the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom. 
11O 015:011 And Asa doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah,  like David his father, 
11O 015:012 and removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth  aside all the idols that his fathers made; 
11O 015:013 and also Maachah his mother -- he turneth her aside from  being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine,  and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by  the brook Kidron; 
11O 015:014 and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart  of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah all his days, 
11O 015:015 and he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father,  and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, silver,  and gold, and vessels. 
11O 015:016 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel  all their days, 
11O 015:017 and Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and  buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming in  to Asa king of Judah. 
11O 015:018 And Asa taketh all the silver and the gold that are left  in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of  the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his  servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of  Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in  Damascus, saying, 
11O 015:019 `A covenant [is] between me and thee, between my father  and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and  gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he  goeth up from off me.' 
11O 015:020 And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the  heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and  smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all  Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali; 
11O 015:021 and it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth  from building Ramah, and dwelleth in Tirzah. 
11O 015:022 And king Asa hath summoned all Judah -- there is none  exempt -- and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood,  that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth with them Geba of  Benjamin, and Mizpah. 
11O 015:023 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might,  and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not  written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?  Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet; 
11O 015:024 and Asa lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his  fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his  son reigneth in his stead. 
11O 015:025 And Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the  second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth over Israel  two years, 
11O 015:026 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth  in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to  sin. 
11O 015:027 And conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the  house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which  [is] to the Philistines -- and Nadab and all Israel are laying  siege against Gibbethon -- 
11O 015:028 yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa  king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead. 
11O 015:029 And it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten  the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to  Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of  Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the  Shilonite, 
11O 015:030 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that  he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he  provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel. 
11O 015:031 And the rest of the matters of Nadab, and all that he did,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Israel? 
11O 015:032 And war hath been between Asa and Baasha king of Israel  all their days. 
11O 015:033 In the third year of Asa king of Judah reigned hath Baasha  son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years, 
11O 015:034 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused  Israel to sin. 
11O 016:001 And a word of Jehovah is unto Jehu son of Hanani, against  Baasha, saying, 
11O 016:002 `Because that I have raised thee up out of the dust, and  appoint thee leader over My people Israel, and thou walkest in  the way of Jeroboam, and causest My people Israel to sin -- to  provoke Me to anger with their sins; 
11O 016:003 lo, I am putting away the posterity of Baasha, even the  posterity of his house, and have given up thy house as the  house of Jeroboam son of Nebat; 
11O 016:004 him who dieth of Baasha in a city do the dogs eat, and him  who dieth of his in a field do fowl of the heavens eat.' 
11O 016:005 And the rest of the matters of Baasha, and that which he  did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
11O 016:006 And Baasha lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Tirzah,  and Elah his son reigneth in his stead. 
11O 016:007 And also by the hand of Jehu son of Hanani the prophet a  word of Jehovah hath been concerning Baasha, and concerning his  house, and concerning all the evil that he did in the eyes of  Jehovah to provoke Him to anger with the work of his hands, to  be like the house of Jeroboam, and concerning that for which he  smote him. 
11O 016:008 In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah reigned  hath Elah son of Baasha over Israel in Tirzah, two years; 
11O 016:009 and conspire against him doth his servant Zimri (head of  the half of the chariots) and he [is] in Tirzah drinking -- a  drunkard in the house of Arza, who [is] over the house in  Tirzah. 
11O 016:010 And Zimri cometh in and smiteth him, and putteth him to  death, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and  reigneth in his stead; 
11O 016:011 and it cometh to pass in his reigning, at his sitting on  his throne, he hath smitten the whole house of Baasha; he hath  not left to him any sitting on the wall, and of his redeemers,  and of his friends. 
11O 016:012 And Zimri destroyeth the whole house of Baasha, according  to the word of Jehovah, that He spake concerning Baasha, by the  hand of Jehu the prophet: 
11O 016:013 concerning all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah  his son, that they sinned, and that they caused Israel to sin  to provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, with their vanities. 
11O 016:014 And the rest of the matters of Elah, and all that he did,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Israel? 
11O 016:015 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah,  reigned hath Zimri seven days in Tirzah; and the people are  encamping against Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines; 
11O 016:016 and the people who are encamping hear, saying, `Zimri hath  conspired, and also hath smitten the king;' and all Israel  cause Omri head of the host to reign over Israel on that day in  the camp. 
11O 016:017 And Omri goeth up, and all Israel with him, from  Gibbethon, and they lay siege to Tirzah. 
11O 016:018 And it cometh to pass, at Zimri's seeing that the city  hath been captured, that he cometh in unto a high place of the  house of the king, and burneth over him the house of the king  with fire, and dieth, 
11O 016:019 for his sins that he sinned, to do the evil thing in the  eyes of Jehovah, to walk in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin  that he did, to cause Israel to sin; 
11O 016:020 and the rest of the matters of Zimri, and his conspiracy  that he made, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
11O 016:021 Then are the sons of Israel parted into halves; half of  the people hath been after Tibni son of Ginath to cause him to  reign, and the half after Omri; 
11O 016:022 and stronger are the people that are after Omri than the  people that are after Tibni son of Ginath, and Tibni dieth, and  Omri reigneth. 
11O 016:023 In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah reigned  hath Omri over Israel twelve years; in Tirzah he hath reigned  six years, 
11O 016:024 and he buyeth the mount Samaria from Shemer, with two  talents of silver, and buildeth [on] the mount, and calleth the  name of the city that he hath built by the name of Shemer, lord  of the hill -- Samaria. 
11O 016:025 And Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  doth evil above all who [are] before him, 
11O 016:026 and walketh in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and  in his sin that he caused Israel to sin, to provoke Jehovah,  God of Israel, with their vanities. 
11O 016:027 And the rest of the matters of Omri that he did, and his  might that he got, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
11O 016:028 And Omri lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria,  and Ahab his son reigneth in his stead. 
11O 016:029 And Ahab son of Omri hath reigned over Israel in the  thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab son of  Omri reigneth over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years, 
11O 016:030 and Ahab son of Omri doth the evil thing in the eyes of  Jehovah above all who [are] before him. 
11O 016:031 And it cometh to pass -- hath it been light his walking in  the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat? -- then he taketh a wife,  Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Zidonians, and goeth  and serveth Baal, and boweth himself to it, 
11O 016:032 and raiseth up an altar for Baal, in the house of the  Baal, that he built in Samaria; 
11O 016:033 and Ahab maketh the shrine, and Ahab addeth to do so as to  provoke Jehovah, God of Israel, above all the kings of Israel  who have been before him. 
11O 016:034 In his days hath Hiel the Beth-Elite built Jericho; in  Abiram his first-born he laid its foundation, and in Segub his  youngest he set up its doors, according to the word of Jehovah  that He spake by the hand of Joshua son of Nun. 
11O 017:001 And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead,  saith unto Ahab, `Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I  have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except  according to my word.' 
11O 017:002 And the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying, 
11O 017:003 `Go from this [place]; and thou hast turned for thee  eastward, and been hidden by the brook Cherith, that [is] on  the front of the Jordan, 
11O 017:004 and it hath been, from the brook thou dost drink, and the  ravens I have commanded to sustain thee there.' 
11O 017:005 And he goeth and doth according to the word of Jehovah,  yea, he goeth and dwelleth by the brook Cherith, that [is] on  the front of the Jordan, 
11O 017:006 and the ravens are bringing to him bread and flesh in the  morning, and bread and flesh in the evening, and of the brook  he drinketh. 
11O 017:007 And it cometh to pass, at the end of days, that the brook  drieth up, for there hath been no rain in the land, 
11O 017:008 and the word of Jehovah is unto him, saying, 
11O 017:009 `Rise, go to Zarephath, that [is] to Zidon, and thou hast  dwelt there; lo, I have commanded there a widow woman to  sustain thee.' 
11O 017:010 And he riseth, and goeth to Zarephath, and cometh in unto  the opening of the city, and lo there, a widow woman gathering  sticks, and he calleth unto her, and saith, `Bring, I pray  thee, to me, a little water in a vessel, and I drink.' 
11O 017:011 And she goeth to bring [it], and he calleth unto her and  saith, `Bring, I pray thee, to me a morsel of bread in thy  hand.' 
11O 017:012 And she saith, `Jehovah thy God liveth, I have not a cake,  but the fulness of the hand of meal in a pitcher, and a little  oil in a dish; and lo, I am gathering two sticks, and have gone  in and prepared it for myself, and for my son, and we have  eaten it -- and died.' 
11O 017:013 And Elijah saith unto her, `Fear not, go, do according to  thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first  place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for  thy son make -- last; 
11O 017:014 for thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, The pitcher of meal  is not consumed, and the dish of oil is not lacking, till the  day of Jehovah's giving a shower on the face of the ground.' 
11O 017:015 And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah,  and she eateth, she and he, and her household -- days; 
11O 017:016 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil  did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by  the hand of Elijah. 
11O 017:017 And it cometh to pass, after these things, the son of the  woman, mistress of the house, hath been sick, and his sickness  is very severe till that no breath hath been left in him. 
11O 017:018 And she saith unto Elijah, `What -- to me and to thee, O  man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be  remembered, and to put my son to death!' 
11O 017:019 And he saith unto her, `Give to me thy son;' and he taketh  him out of her bosom, and taketh him up unto the upper chamber  where he is abiding, and layeth him on his own bed, 
11O 017:020 and crieth unto Jehovah, and saith, `Jehovah my God, also  on the widow with whom I am sojourning hast Thou done evil --  to put her son to death?' 
11O 017:021 And he stretcheth himself out on the lad three times, and  calleth unto Jehovah, and saith, `O Jehovah my God, let turn  back, I pray Thee, the soul of this lad into his midst;' 
11O 017:022 and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the  soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth. 
11O 017:023 And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the  upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and  Elijah saith, `See, thy son liveth!' 
11O 017:024 And the woman saith unto Elijah, `Now, this I have known,  that a man of God thou [art], and the word of Jehovah in thy  mouth [is] truth.' 
11O 018:001 And the days are many, and the word of Jehovah hath been  unto Elijah in the third year, saying, `Go, appear unto Ahab,  and I give rain on the face of the ground;' 
11O 018:002 and Elijah goeth to appear unto Ahab. And the famine is  severe in Samaria, 
11O 018:003 and Ahab calleth unto Obadiah, who [is] over the house --  and Obadiah hath been fearing Jehovah greatly, 
11O 018:004 and it cometh to pass, in Jezebel's cutting off the  prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah taketh a hundred prophets,  and hideth them, fifty men in a cave, and hath sustained them  with bread and water -- 
11O 018:005 and Ahab saith unto Obadiah, `Go through the land, unto all  fountains of waters, and unto all the brooks, if so be we find  hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of  the cattle.' 
11O 018:006 And they apportion to themselves the land, to pass over  into it; Ahab hath gone in one way by himself, and Obadiah hath  gone in another way by himself; 
11O 018:007 and Obadiah [is] in the way, and lo, Elijah -- to meet him;  and he discerneth him, and falleth on his face, and saith, `Art  thou he -- my lord Elijah?' 
11O 018:008 And he saith to him, `I [am]; go, say to thy lord, Lo,  Elijah.' 
11O 018:009 And he saith, `What have I sinned, that thou art giving thy  servant into the hand of Ahab -- to put me to death? 
11O 018:010 Jehovah thy God liveth, if there is a nation and kingdom  whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and they said, He  is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear,  that it doth not find thee; 
11O 018:011 and now, thou art saying, Go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah; 
11O 018:012 and it hath been, I go from thee, and the Spirit of  Jehovah doth lift thee up, whither I know not, and I have come  to declare to Ahab, and he doth not find thee, and he hath  slain me; and thy servant is fearing Jehovah from my youth. 
11O 018:013 `Hath it not been declared to my lord that which I have  done in Jezebel's slaying the prophets of Jehovah, that I hide  of the prophets of Jehovah a hundred men, fifty by fifty in a  cave, and sustained them with bread and water? 
11O 018:014 and now thou art saying, Go, say to my lord, Lo, Elijah --  and he hath slain me!' 
11O 018:015 And Elijah saith, `Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I  have stood, surely to-day I appear unto him.' 
11O 018:016 And Obadiah goeth to meet Ahab, and declareth [it] to him,  and Ahab goeth to meet Elijah, 
11O 018:017 and it cometh to pass at Ahab's seeing Elijah, that Ahab  saith unto him, `Art thou he -- the troubler of Israel?' 
11O 018:018 And he saith, `I have not troubled Israel, but thou and  the house of thy father, in your forsaking the commands of  Jehovah, and thou goest after the Baalim; 
11O 018:019 and now, send, gather unto me all Israel, unto the mount  of Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and  the prophets of the shrine, four hundred -- eating at the table  of Jezebel.' 
11O 018:020 And Ahab sendeth among all the sons of Israel, and  gathereth the prophets unto the mount of Carmel; 
11O 018:021 and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith,  `Till when are ye leaping on the two branches? -- if Jehovah  [is] God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;' and the  people have not answered him a word. 
11O 018:022 And Elijah saith unto the people, `I -- I have been left a  prophet of Jehovah -- by myself; and the prophets of Baal [are]  four hundred and fifty men; 
11O 018:023 and let them give to us two bullocks, and they choose for  themselves the one bullock, and cut it in pieces, and place  [it] on the wood, and place no fire; and I -- I prepare the  other bullock, and have put [it] on the wood, and fire I do not  place; -- 
11O 018:024 and ye have called in the name of your god, and I -- I  call in the name of Jehovah, and it hath been, the god who  answereth by fire -- He [is] the God.' And all the people  answer and say, `Good [is] the word.' 
11O 018:025 And Elijah saith to the prophets of Baal, `Choose for you  the one bullock, and prepare first, for ye [are] the multitude,  and call ye in the name of your god, and place no fire.' 
11O 018:026 And they take the bullock that [one] gave to them, and  prepare, and call in the name of Baal from the morning even  till the noon, saying, `O Baal, answer us!' and there is no  voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar  that one had made. 
11O 018:027 And it cometh to pass, at noon, that Elijah playeth on  them, and saith, `Call with a loud voice, for he [is] a god,  for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be  he is asleep, an doth awake.' 
11O 018:028 And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves,  according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, till  a flowing of blood [is] on them; 
11O 018:029 and it cometh to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that  they feign themselves prophets till the going up of the  present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering,  and there is none attending. 
11O 018:030 And Elijah saith to all the people, `Come nigh unto me;'  and all the people come nigh unto him, and he repaireth the  altar of Jehovah that is broken down; 
11O 018:031 and Elijah taketh twelve stones, according to the number  of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of  Jehovah was, saying, `Israel is thy name;' 
11O 018:032 and he buildeth with the stones an altar, in the name of  Jehovah, and maketh a trench, as about the space of two  measures of seed, round about the altar. 
11O 018:033 And he arrangeth the wood, and cutteth in pieces the  bullock, and placeth [it] on the wood, and saith, `Fill ye four  pitchers of water, and pour on the burnt-offering, and on the  wood; 
11O 018:034 and he saith, `Do [it] a second time;' and they do [it] a  second time; and he saith, `Do [it] a third time;' and they do  [it] a third time; 
11O 018:035 and the water goeth round about the altar, and also, the  trench he hath filled with water. 
11O 018:036 And it cometh to pass, at the going up of the  [evening-]present, that Elijah the prophet cometh nigh and  saith, `Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to-day let  it be known that Thou [art] God in Israel, and I Thy servant,  that by Thy word I have done the whole of these things; 
11O 018:037 answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, and this people doth know  that Thou [art] Jehovah God; and Thou hast turned their heart  backward.' 
11O 018:038 And there falleth a fire of Jehovah, and consumeth the  burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and  the water that [is] in the trench it hath licked up. 
11O 018:039 And all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say,  `Jehovah, He [is] the God, Jehovah, He [is] the God.' 
11O 018:040 And Elijah saith to them, `Catch ye the prophets of Baal;  let not a man escape of them;' and they catch them, and Elijah  bringeth them down unto the stream Kishon, and doth slaughter  them there. 
11O 018:041 And Elijah saith to Ahab, `Go up, eat and drink, because  of the sound of the noise of the shower.' 
11O 018:042 And Ahab goeth up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah hath  gone up unto the top of Carmel, and he stretcheth himself out  on the earth, and he placeth his face between his knees, 
11O 018:043 and saith unto his young man, `Go up, I pray thee, look  attentively the way of the sea;' and he goeth up and looketh  attentively, and saith, `There is nothing;' and he saith, `Turn  back,' seven times. 
11O 018:044 And it cometh to pass, at the seventh, that he saith, `Lo,  a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the  sea.' And he saith, `Go up, say unto Ahab, `Bind -- and go  down, and the shower doth not restrain thee.' 
11O 018:045 And it cometh to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens  have become black -- thick clouds and wind -- and the shower is  great; and Ahab rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, 
11O 018:046 and the hand of Jehovah hath been on Elijah, and he  girdeth up his loins, and runneth before Ahab, till thine  entering Jezreel. 
11O 019:001 And Ahab declareth to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all  how he slew all the prophets by the sword, 
11O 019:002 and Jezebel sendeth a messenger unto Elijah, saying, `Thus  doth the gods, and thus do they add, surely about this time  to-morrow, I make thy life as the life of one of them.' 
11O 019:003 And he feareth, and riseth, and goeth for his life, and  cometh in to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah's, and leaveth his  young man there, 
11O 019:004 and he himself hath gone into the wilderness a day's  Journey, and cometh and sitteth under a certain retem-tree, and  desireth his soul to die, and saith, `Enough, now, O Jehovah,  take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.' 
11O 019:005 And he lieth down and sleepeth under a certain retem-tree,  and lo, a messenger cometh against him, and saith to him,  `Rise, eat;' 
11O 019:006 and he looketh attentively, and lo, at his bolster a cake  [baken on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eateth,  and drinketh, and turneth, and lieth down. 
11O 019:007 And the messenger of Jehovah turneth back a second time,  and cometh against him, and saith, `Rise, eat, for the way is  too great for thee;' 
11O 019:008 and he riseth, and eateth, and drinketh, and goeth in the  power of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount  of God -- Horeb. 
11O 019:009 And he cometh in there, unto the cave, and lodgeth there,  and lo, the word of Jehovah [is] unto him, and saith to him,  `What -- to thee, here, Elijah?' 
11O 019:010 And he saith, `I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God  of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant --  Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have  slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek  my life -- to take it.' 
11O 019:011 And He saith, `Go out, and thou hast stood in the mount  before Jehovah.' And lo, Jehovah is passing by, and a wind --  great and strong -- is rending mountains, and shivering rocks  before Jehovah: -- not in the wind [is] Jehovah; and after the  wind a shaking: -- not in the shaking [is] Jehovah; 
11O 019:012 and after the shaking a fire: -- not in the fire [is]  Jehovah; and after the fire a voice still small; 
11O 019:013 and it cometh to pass, at Elijah's hearing [it], that he  wrappeth his face in his robe, and goeth out, and standeth at  the opening of the cave, and lo, unto him [is] a voice, and it  saith, `What -- to thee, here, Elijah?' 
11O 019:014 And he saith, `I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God  of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Thy covenant,  Thine altars they have thrown down, and Thy prophets they have  slain by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek  my life -- to take it.' 
11O 019:015 And Jehovah saith unto him, `Go turn back on thy way to  the wilderness of Damascus, and thou hast gone in, and anointed  Hazael for king over Aram, 
11O 019:016 and Jehu son of Nimshi thou dost anoint for king over  Israel, and Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, thou dost  anoint for prophet in thy stead. 
11O 019:017 `And it hath been, him who is escaped from the sword of  Hazael, put to death doth Jehu, and him who is escaped from the  sword of Jehu put to death doth Elisha; 
11O 019:018 and I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees  that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that hath not  kissed him.' 
11O 019:019 And he goeth thence, and findeth Elisha son of Shaphat,  and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is]  with the twelfth; and Elijah passeth over unto him, and casteth  his robe upon him, 
11O 019:020 and he forsaketh the oxen, and runneth after Elijah, and  saith, `Let me give a kiss, I pray thee, to my father and to my  mother, and I go after thee.' And he saith to him, `Go, turn  back, for what have I done to thee?' 
11O 019:021 And he turneth back from after him, and taketh the yoke of  oxen, and sacrificeth it, and with instruments of the oxen he  hath boiled their flesh, and giveth to the people, and they  eat, and he riseth, and goeth after Elijah, and serveth him. 
11O 020:001 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and  thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and  he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with  it, 
11O 020:002 and sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to the  city, 
11O 020:003 and saith to him, `Thus said Ben-Hadad, `Thy silver and thy  gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons -- the best -- are  mine.' 
11O 020:004 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, `According to  thy word, my lord, O king: I [am] thine, and all that I have.' 
11O 020:005 And the messengers turn back and say, `Thus spake  Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver,  and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost  give; 
11O 020:006 for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto  thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy  servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes  they place in their hand, and have taken away.' 
11O 020:007 And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the  land, and saith, `Know, I pray you, and see that evil this  [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my  sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not  from him.' 
11O 020:008 And all the elders and all the people say unto him, `Do not  hearken, nor consent.' 
11O 020:009 And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, `Say to my  lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at  the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the  messengers go and take him back word. 
11O 020:010 And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, `Thus do the  gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria  suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.' 
11O 020:011 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, `Speak ye: let  not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing  [his armour].' 
11O 020:012 And it cometh to pass at the hearing of this word -- and  he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths -- that he  saith unto his servants, `Set yourselves;' and they set  themselves against the city. 
11O 020:013 And lo, a certain prophet hath come nigh unto Ahab king of  Israel, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, `Hast thou seen all this  great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and  thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.' 
11O 020:014 And Ahab saith, `By whom?' and he saith, `Thus said  Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and  he saith, `Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, `Thou.' 
11O 020:015 And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the  provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after  them he hath inspecteth the whole of the people, all the sons  of Israel, seven thousand, 
11O 020:016 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking --  drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two  kings, helping him. 
11O 020:017 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at  the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him,  saying, `Men have come out of Samaria.' 
11O 020:018 And he saith, `If for peace they have come out -- catch  them alive; and if for battle they have come out -- alive catch  them.' 
11O 020:019 And these have gone out of the city -- the young men of  the heads of the provinces -- and the force that [is] after  them, 
11O 020:020 and smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel  pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse,  and the horsemen; 
11O 020:021 and the king of Israel goeth out, and smiteth the horses,  and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans a  great smiting. 
11O 020:022 And the prophet cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and  saith to him, `Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that  which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram  is coming up against thee.' 
11O 020:023 And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him, `Gods  of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than  we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain -- are we not  stronger than they? 
11O 020:024 `And this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of  his place, and set captains in their stead; 
11O 020:025 and thou, number to thee a force as the force that is  fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot,  and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than  they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth so. 
11O 020:026 And it cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that  Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to  battle with Israel, 
11O 020:027 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported,  and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them,  like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have filled the  land. 
11O 020:028 And there cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the  king of Israel, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, Because that the  Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not  God of valleys -- I have given the whole of this great  multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am]  Jehovah.' 
11O 020:029 And they encamp one over-against another seven days, and  it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth  near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram -- a hundred thousand  footmen in one day. 
11O 020:030 And those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall  falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and  Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the  innermost part. 
11O 020:031 And his servants say unto him, `Lo, we pray thee, we have  heard that the kings of the house of Israel -- that they are  kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins,  and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel;  it may be he doth keep thee alive.' 
11O 020:032 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on  their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say,  `Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;'  and he saith, `Is he yet alive? he [is] my brother.' 
11O 020:033 And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it  from him, and say, `Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, `Go  ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he  causeth him to come up on the chariot. 
11O 020:034 And he saith unto him, `The cities that my father took  from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for  thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' -- `and I, with  a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant,  and sendeth him away. 
11O 020:035 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto  his neighbour by the word of Jehovah, `Smite me, I pray thee;'  and the man refuseth to smite him, 
11O 020:036 and he saith to him, `Because that thou hast not hearkened  to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the  lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion  findeth him, and smiteth him. 
11O 020:037 And he findeth another man, and saith, `Smite me, I pray  thee;' and the man smiteth him, smiting and wounding, 
11O 020:038 and the prophet goeth and standeth for the king on the  way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on his eyes. 
11O 020:039 And it cometh to pass -- the king is passing by -- that he  hath cried unto the king, and saith, `Thy servant went out into  the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and  bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be  at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a  talent of silver thou dost weigh out; 
11O 020:040 and it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and  thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him,  Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [it].' 
11O 020:041 And he hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his  eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] of  the prophets, 
11O 020:042 and he saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, Because thou  hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy  life hath been for his life, and thy people for his people;' 
11O 020:043 and the king of Israel goeth unto his house, sulky and  wroth, and cometh in to Samaria. 
11O 021:001 And it cometh to pass, after these things, a vineyard hath  been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the  palace of Ahab king of Samaria, 
11O 021:002 and Ahab speaketh unto Naboth, saying, `Give to me thy  vineyard, and it is to me for a garden of green herbs, for it  [is] near by my house, and I give to thee in its stead a better  vineyard than it; if good in thine eyes, I give to thee silver  -- its price.' 
11O 021:003 And Naboth saith unto Ahab, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah,  my giving the inheritance of my fathers to thee;' 
11O 021:004 and Ahab cometh in unto his house, sulky and wroth, because  of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite hath spoken unto him  when he saith, `I do not give to thee the inheritance of my  fathers,' and he lieth down on his bed, and turneth round his  face, and hath not eaten bread. 
11O 021:005 And Jezebel his wife cometh in unto him, and speaketh unto  him, `What [is] this? -- thy spirit sulky, and thou art not  eating bread!' 
11O 021:006 And he saith unto her, `Because I speak unto Naboth the  Jezreelite, and say to him, Give to me thy vineyard for money,  or if thou desire, I give to thee a vineyard in its stead; and  he saith, I do not give to thee my vineyard.' 
11O 021:007 And Jezebel his wife saith unto him, `Thou now dost execute  rule over Israel! rise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad,  -- I do give to thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.' 
11O 021:008 And she writeth letters in the name of Ahab, and sealeth  with his seal, and sendeth the letters unto the elders, and  unto the freemen, who are in his city, those dwelling with  Naboth, 
11O 021:009 and she writeth in the letters, saying, `Proclaim a fast,  and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people, 
11O 021:010 and cause two men -- sons of worthlessness -- to sit  over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, Thou hast  blessed God and Melech; and they have brought him out, and  stoned him, and he dieth.' 
11O 021:011 And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen who  are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel hath sent unto them, as  written in the letters that she sent unto them, 
11O 021:012 they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at  the head of the people, 
11O 021:013 and two men -- sons of worthlessness -- come in, and sit  over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him,  even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed God and  Melech;' and they take him out to the outside of the city, and  stone him with stones, and he dieth; 
11O 021:014 and they send unto Jezebel, saying, `Naboth was stoned,  and is dead.' 
11O 021:015 And it cometh to pass, at Jezebel's hearing that Naboth  hath been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel saith unto Ahab,  `Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he  refused to give to thee for money, for Naboth is not alive but  dead.' 
11O 021:016 And it cometh to pass, at Ahab's hearing that Naboth is  dead, that Ahab riseth to go down unto the vineyard of Naboth  the Jezreelite, to possess it. 
11O 021:017 And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite,  saying, 
11O 021:018 `Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in  Samaria, -- lo, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone  down to possess it, 
11O 021:019 and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah,  Hast thou murdered, and also possessed? and thou hast spoken  unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, In the place where the  dogs licked the blood of Naboth, do the dogs lick thy blood,  even thine.' 
11O 021:020 And Ahab saith unto Elijah, `Hast thou found me, O mine  enemy?' and he saith, `I have found -- because of thy selling  thyself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah; 
11O 021:021 lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away  thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall,  and restrained, and left, in Israel, 
11O 021:022 and given up thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of  Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the  provocation with which thou hast provoked [Me], and dost cause  Israel to sin. 
11O 021:023 `And also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs  do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel; 
11O 021:024 him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him  who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat; 
11O 021:025 surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to  do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife  hath moved, 
11O 021:026 and he doth very abominably to go after the idols,  according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah dispossessed  from the presence of the sons of Israel.' 
11O 021:027 And it cometh to pass, at Ahab's hearing these words, that  he rendeth his garments, and putteth sackcloth on his flesh,  and fasteth, and lieth in sackcloth, and goeth gently. 
11O 021:028 And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite,  saying, 
11O 021:029 `Hast thou seen that Ahab hath been humbled before Me?  because that he hath been humbled before Me, I bring not in the  evil in his days; in the days of his son I bring in the evil on  his house.' 
11O 022:001 And they sit still three years, there is no war between  Aram and Israel, 
11O 022:002 and it cometh to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat  king of Judah cometh down unto the king of Israel, 
11O 022:003 and the king of Israel saith unto his servants, `Have ye  not known that ours [is] Ramoth-Gilead? and we are keeping  silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram!' 
11O 022:004 And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Dost thou go with me to  battle [to] Ramoth-Gilead?' and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king  of Israel, `As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as  my horses, so thy horses.' 
11O 022:005 And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I  pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;' 
11O 022:006 and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four  hundred men, and saith unto them, `Do I go against  Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?' and they say, `Go  up, and the Lord doth give [it] into the hand of the king.' 
11O 022:007 And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of  Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?' 
11O 022:008 And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet -- one  man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth  not prophesy concerning me good, but evil -- Micaiah son of  Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.' 
11O 022:009 And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and  saith, `Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.' 
11O 022:010 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are  sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a  threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all  the prophets are prophesying before them. 
11O 022:011 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of  iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push  the Aramaeans till they are consumed;' 
11O 022:012 and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, `Go up to  Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into  the hand of the king.' 
11O 022:013 And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath  spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, I pray thee, the words of the  prophets, with one mouth, [are] good towards the king; let it  be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them -- and  thou hast spoken good.' 
11O 022:014 And Micaiah saith, `Jehovah liveth; surely that which  Jehovah saith unto me -- it I speak.' 
11O 022:015 And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto  him, `Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we  forbear?' and he saith unto him, `Go up, and prosper, and  Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.' 
11O 022:016 And the king saith unto him, `How many times am I adjuring  thee that thou speak nothing unto me but truth in the name of  Jehovah?' 
11O 022:017 And he saith, `I have seen all Israel scattered on the  hills as sheep that have no shepherd, and Jehovah saith, These  have no master; they turn back each to his house in peace.' 
11O 022:018 And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Have I not  said unto thee, He doth not prophesy of me good, but evil?' 
11O 022:019 And he saith, `Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah; I have  seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of the  heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left; 
11O 022:020 and Jehovah saith, Who doth entice Ahab, and he doth go up  and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? and this one saith thus, and that  one is saying thus. 
11O 022:021 `And the spirit goeth out, and standeth before Jehovah,  and saith, I -- I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, By  what? 
11O 022:022 and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of  falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou  dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so. 
11O 022:023 And now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the  mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken  concerning thee -- evil.' 
11O 022:024 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth  Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where [is] this -- he hath  passed over -- the Spirit of Jehovah -- from me to speak with  thee?' 
11O 022:025 And Micaiah saith, `Lo, thou art seeing on that day, when  thou goest in to the innermost chamber to be hidden.' 
11O 022:026 And the king of Israel saith, `Take Micaiah, and turn him  back unto Amon head of the city, and unto Joash son of the  king, 
11O 022:027 and thou hast said, Thus said the king, Place ye this one  in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of  oppression, and water of oppression, till my coming in peace.' 
11O 022:028 And Micaiah saith, `If thou at all return in peace --  Jehovah hath not spoken by me;' and he saith, `Hear, O peoples,  all of them.' 
11O 022:029 And the king of Israel goeth up, and Jehoshaphat king of  Judah, to Ramoth-Gilead. 
11O 022:030 And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat to disguise  himself, and to go into battle, `And thou, put on thy  garments.' And the king of Israel disguiseth himself, and goeth  into battle. 
11O 022:031 And the king of Aram commanded the heads of the  charioteers whom he hath -- thirty and two -- saying, `Ye do  not fight with small or with great, but with the king of Israel  by himself.' 
11O 022:032 And it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers  seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, `He [is] only the king of  Israel;' and they turn aside to him to fight, and Jehoshaphat  crieth out, 
11O 022:033 and it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers  seeing that he [is] not the king of Israel, that they turn back  from after him. 
11O 022:034 And a man hath drawn with a bow, in his simplicity, and  smiteth the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of  mail, and he saith to his charioteer, `Turn thy hand, and take  me out from the camp, for I have become sick.' 
11O 022:035 And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king hath  been caused to stand in the chariot, over-against Aram, and he  dieth in the evening, and the blood of the wound runneth out  unto the midst of the chariot, 
11O 022:036 and he causeth the cry to pass over through the camp, at  the going in of the sun, saying, `Each unto his city, and each  unto his land.' 
11O 022:037 And the king dieth, and cometh into Samaria, and they bury  the king in Samaria; 
11O 022:038 and [one] rinseth the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and  the dogs lick his blood -- when the armour they had washed --  according to the word of Jehovah that He spake. 
11O 022:039 And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did,  and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that  he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of  the kings of Israel? 
11O 022:040 And Ahab lieth with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son  reigneth in his stead. 
11O 022:041 And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath reigned over Judah in the  fourth year of Ahab king of Israel, 
11O 022:042 Jehoshaphat [is] a son of thirty and five years in his  reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in  Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of  Shilhi. 
11O 022:043 And he walketh in all the way of Asa his father, he hath  not turned aside from it, to do that which [is] right in the  eyes of Jehovah; only the high places have not turned aside,  yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high  places. 
11O 022:044 And Jehoshaphat maketh peace with the king of Israel; 
11O 022:045 and the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, and his might  that he got, and with which he fought, are they not written on  the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
11O 022:046 And the remnant of the whoremongers who were left in the  days of Asa his father he took away out of the land; 
11O 022:047 and there is no king in Edom; he set up a king. 
11O 022:048 Jehoshaphat made ships at Tarshish to go to Ophir for  gold, and they went not, for the ships were broken in  Ezion-Geber. 
11O 022:049 Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, `Let my  servants go with thy servants in the ships;' and Jehoshaphat  was not willing. 
11O 022:050 And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with  his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his  son reigneth in his stead. 
11O 022:051 Ahaziah son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel in Samaria in  the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigneth  over Israel two years, 
11O 022:052 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  walketh in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother,  and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to  sin, 
11O 022:053 and serveth the Baal, and boweth himself to it, and  provoketh Jehovah, God of Israel, according to all that his  father had done.  
12O 001:001 And Moab transgresseth against Israel after the death of  Ahab, 
12O 001:002 and Ahaziah falleth through the lattice in his upper chamber  that [is] in Samaria, and is sick, and sendeth messengers, and  saith unto them, `Go ye, inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron if  I recover from this sickness.' 
12O 001:003 And a messenger of Jehovah hath spoken unto Elijah the  Tishbite, `Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of  Samaria, and speak unto them, Is it because there is not a God  in Israel -- ye are going to inquire of Baal Zebub god of  Ekron? 
12O 001:004 and therefore, thus said Jehovah, The bed whither thou hast  gone up, thou dost not come down from it, for thou dost  certainly die;' and Elijah goeth on. 
12O 001:005 And the messengers turn back unto him, and he saith unto  them, `What [is] this -- ye have turned back!' 
12O 001:006 And they say unto him, `A man hath come up to meet us, and  saith unto us, Go, turn back unto the king who sent you, and ye  have said unto him, Thus said Jehovah, Is it because there is  not a God in Israel -- thou art sending to inquire of  Baal-Zebub god of Ekron? therefore, the bed whither thou hast  gone up, thou dost not come down from it, for thou dost  certainly die.' 
12O 001:007 And he saith unto them, `What [is] the fashion of the man  who hath come up to meet you, and speaketh unto you these  words?' 
12O 001:008 And they say unto him, `A man -- hairy, and a girdle of skin  girt about his loins;' and he saith, `He [is] Elijah the  Tishbite.' 
12O 001:009 And he sendeth unto him a head of fifty and his fifty, and  he goeth up unto him (and lo, he is sitting on the top of the  hill), and he speaketh unto him, `O man of God, the king hath  spoken, Come down.' 
12O 001:010 And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto the head of the  fifty, `And if I [am] a man of God, fire doth come down from  the heavens, and consume thee and thy fifty;' and fire cometh  down from the heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty. 
12O 001:011 And he turneth and sendeth unto him another head of fifty  and his fifty, and he answereth and speaketh unto him, `O man  of God, thus said the king, Haste, come down.' 
12O 001:012 And Elijah answereth and speaketh unto them, `If I [am] a  man of God, fire doth come down from the heavens, and consume  thee and thy fifty;' and fire of God cometh down from the  heavens, and consumeth him and his fifty. 
12O 001:013 And he turneth and sendeth a third head of fifty and his  fifty, and the third head of fifty goeth up, and cometh in, and  boweth on his knees over-against Elijah, and maketh  supplication unto him, and speaketh unto him, `O man of God,  let be precious, I pray thee, my soul and the soul of thy  servants -- these fifty -- in thine eyes. 
12O 001:014 Lo, come down hath fire from the heavens, and consumeth the  two heads of the former fifties and their fifties; and, now,  let my soul be precious in thine eyes.' 
12O 001:015 And a messenger of Jehovah speaketh unto Elijah, `Go down  with him, be not afraid of him;' and he riseth and goeth down  with him unto the king, 
12O 001:016 and speaketh unto him, `Thus said Jehovah, Because that  thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron  -- is it because there is not a God in Israel to inquire of His  word? therefore, the bed whither thou hast gone up -- thou dost  not come down from it, for thou dost certainly die.' 
12O 001:017 And he dieth, according to the word of Jehovah that Elijah  spake, and Jehoram reigneth in his stead, in the second year of  Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, for he had no son. 
12O 001:018 And the rest of the matters of Ahaziah that he did, are  they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of  Israel? 
12O 002:001 And it cometh to pass, at Jehovah's taking up Elijah in a  whirlwind to the heavens, that Elijah goeth, and Elisha, from  Gilgal, 
12O 002:002 and Elijah saith unto Elisha, `Abide, I pray thee, here, for  Jehovah hath sent me unto Beth-El;' and Elisha saith, `Jehovah  liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go down  to Beth-El. 
12O 002:003 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out unto  Elisha, and say unto him, `Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah  is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, `I also have  known -- keep silent.' 
12O 002:004 And Elijah saith to him, `Elisha, abide, I pray thee, here,  for Jehovah hath sent me to Jericho;' and he saith, `Jehovah  liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they come in  to Jericho. 
12O 002:005 And sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come nigh unto  Elisha, and say unto him, `Hast thou known that to-day Jehovah  is taking thy lord from thy head?' and he saith, `I also have  known -- keep silent.' 
12O 002:006 And Elijah saith to him, `Abide, I pray thee, here, for  Jehovah hath sent me to the Jordan;' and he saith, `Jehovah  liveth, and thy soul liveth, if I leave thee;' and they go on  both of them, 
12O 002:007 -- and fifty men of the sons of the prophets have gone on,  and stand over-against afar off -- and both of them have stood  by the Jordan. 
12O 002:008 And Elijah taketh his robe, and wrappeth [it] together, and  smiteth the waters, and they are halved, hither and thither,  and they pass over both of them on dry land. 
12O 002:009 And it cometh to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah  hath said unto Elisha, `Ask, what do I do for thee before I am  taken from thee?' and Elisha saith, `Then let there be, I pray  thee, a double portion of thy spirit unto me;' 
12O 002:010 and he saith, `Thou hast asked a hard thing; if thou dost  see me taken from thee, it is to thee so; and if not, it is  not.' 
12O 002:011 And it cometh to pass, they are going, going on and  speaking, and lo, a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and  they separate between them both, and Elijah goeth up in a  whirlwind, to the heavens. 
12O 002:012 And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, `My father, my  father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen;' and he hath  not seen him again; and he taketh hold on his garments, and  rendeth them into two pieces. 
12O 002:013 And he taketh up the robe of Elijah, that fell from off  him, and turneth back and standeth on the edge of the Jordan, 
12O 002:014 and he taketh the robe of Elijah that fell from off him,  and smiteth the waters, and saith, `Where [is] Jehovah, God of  Elijah -- even He?' and he smiteth the waters, and they are  halved, hither and thither, and Elisha passeth over. 
12O 002:015 And they see him -- the sons of the prophets who [are] in  Jericho -- over-against, and they say, `Rested hath the spirit  of Elijah on Elisha;' and they come to meet him, and bow  themselves to him to the earth, 
12O 002:016 and say unto him, `Lo, we pray thee, there are with thy  servants fifty men, sons of valour: let them go, we pray thee,  and they seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Jehovah hath taken  him up, and doth cast him on one of the hills, or into one of  the valleys;' and he saith, `Ye do not send.' 
12O 002:017 And they press upon him, till he is ashamed, and he saith,  `Send ye;' and they send fifty men, and they seek three days,  and have not found him; 
12O 002:018 and they turn back unto him -- and he is abiding in Jericho  -- and he saith unto them, `Did I not say unto you, Do not go?' 
12O 002:019 And the men of the city say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee,  the site of the city [is] good, as my lord seeth, and the  waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.' 
12O 002:020 And he saith, `Bring to me a new dish, and place there  salt;' and they bring [it] unto him, 
12O 002:021 and he goeth out unto the source of the waters, and casteth  there salt, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, I have given healing  to these waters; there is not thence any more death and  sterility.' 
12O 002:022 And the waters are healed unto this day, according to the  word of Elisha, that he spake. 
12O 002:023 And he goeth up thence to Beth-El, and he is going up in  the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and  scoff at him, and say to him, `Go up, bald-head! go up,  bald-head!' 
12O 002:024 And he looketh behind him, and seeth them, and declareth  them vile in the name of Jehovah, and two bears come out of the  forest, and rend of them forty and two lads. 
12O 002:025 And he goeth thence unto the hill of Carmel, and thence he  hath turned back to Samaria. 
12O 003:001 And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in  Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah,  and he reigneth twelve years, 
12O 003:002 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not  like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the  standing-pillar of Baal that his father made; 
12O 003:003 only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused  Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from  it. 
12O 003:004 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered  to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred  thousand rams, [with] wool, 
12O 003:005 and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of  Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel. 
12O 003:006 And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and  inspecteth all Israel, 
12O 003:007 and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah,  saying, `The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost  thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, `I go up,  as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so  thy horses. 
12O 003:008 And he saith, `Where [is] this -- the way we go up?' and he  saith, `The way of the wilderness of Edom.' 
12O 003:009 And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the  king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there  hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are]  at their feet, 
12O 003:010 and the king of Israel saith, `Alas, for Jehovah hath  called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of  Moab.' 
12O 003:011 And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of  Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants  of the king of Israel answereth and saith, `Here [is] Elisha  son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.' 
12O 003:012 And Jehoshaphat saith, `The word of Jehovah is with him;'  and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat,  and the king of Edom. 
12O 003:013 And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, `What -- to me  and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the  prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him,  `Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give  them into the hand of Moab.' 
12O 003:014 And Elisha saith, `Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I  have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I  am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee; 
12O 003:015 and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the  playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him, 
12O 003:016 and he saith, `Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches  -- ditches; 
12O 003:017 for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see  rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk --  ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. 
12O 003:018 `And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he  hath given Moab into your hand, 
12O 003:019 and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice  city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains  of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.' 
12O 003:020 And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of  the [morning]-present, that lo, waters are coming in from the  way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters, 
12O 003:021 and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to  fight against them, and they are called together, from every  one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the  border. 
12O 003:022 And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone  on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the  waters red as blood, 
12O 003:023 and say, `Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely  destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for  spoil, Moab!' 
12O 003:024 And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the  Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from  their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab, 
12O 003:025 and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion  they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every  fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to  fall -- till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the  slingers go round and smite it. 
12O 003:026 And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too  strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men,  drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and  they have not been able, 
12O 003:027 and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his  stead, and causeth him to ascend -- a burnt-offering on the  wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey  from off him, and turn back to the land. 
12O 004:001 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets  hath cried unto Elisha, saying, `Thy servant, my husband, is  dead, and thou hast known that thy servant was fearing Jehovah,  and the lender hath come to take my two children to him for  servants.' 
12O 004:002 And Elisha saith unto her, `What do I do for thee? declare  to me, what hast thou in the house?' and she saith, `Thy  maid-servant hath nothing in the house except a pot of oil.' 
12O 004:003 And he saith, `Go, ask for thee vessels from without, from  all thy neighbours -- empty vessels -- let [them] not be few; 
12O 004:004 and thou hast entered, and shut the door upon thee, and upon  thy sons, and hast poured out into all these vessels, and the  full ones thou dost remove.' 
12O 004:005 And she goeth from him, and shutteth the door upon her, and  upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is  pouring out, 
12O 004:006 and it cometh to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that  she saith unto her son, `Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and  he saith unto her, `There is not a vessel more;' and the oil  stayeth. 
12O 004:007 And she cometh and declareth to the man of God, and he  saith, `Go, sell the oil, and repay thy loan; and thou [and]  thy sons do live of the rest.' 
12O 004:008 And the day cometh that Elisha passeth over unto Shunem, and  there [is] a great woman, and she layeth hold on him to eat  bread, and it cometh to pass, at the time of his passing over,  he turneth aside thither to eat bread, 
12O 004:009 and she saith unto her husband, `Lo, I pray thee, I have  known that a holy man of God he is, passing over by us  continually; 
12O 004:010 let us make, I pray thee, a little upper chamber of the  wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high  seat, and a candlestick; and it hath been, in his coming in  unto us, he doth turn aside thither.' 
12O 004:011 And the day cometh, that he cometh in thither, and turneth  aside unto the upper chamber, and lieth there, 
12O 004:012 and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, `Call for this  Shunammite;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth before  him. 
12O 004:013 And he saith to him, `Say, I pray thee, unto her, Lo, thou  hast troubled thyself concerning us with all this trouble; what  -- to do for thee? is it to speak for thee unto the king, or  unto the head of the host?' and she saith, `In the midst of my  people I am dwelling.' 
12O 004:014 And he saith, `And what -- to do for her?' and Gehazi  saith, `Verily she hath no son, and her husband [is] aged.' 
12O 004:015 And he saith, `Call for her;' and he calleth for her, and  she standeth at the opening, 
12O 004:016 and he saith, `At this season, according to the time of  life, thou art embracing a son;' and she saith, `Nay, my lord,  O man of God, do not lie unto thy maid-servant.' 
12O 004:017 And the woman conceiveth and beareth a son, at this season,  according to the time of life, that Elisha spake of unto her. 
12O 004:018 And the lad groweth, and the day cometh that he goeth out  unto his father, unto the reapers, 
12O 004:019 and he saith unto his father, `My head, my head;' and he  saith unto the young man, `Bear him unto his mother;' 
12O 004:020 and he beareth him, and bringeth him in unto his mother,  and he sitteth on her knees till the noon, and dieth. 
12O 004:021 And she goeth up, and layeth him on the bed of the man of  God, and shutteth [the door] upon him, and goeth out, 
12O 004:022 and calleth unto her husband, and saith, `Send, I pray  thee, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I  run unto the man of God, and return.' 
12O 004:023 And he saith, `Wherefore art thou going unto him to-day? --  neither new moon nor sabbath!' and she saith, `Peace [to  thee]!' 
12O 004:024 And she saddleth the ass, and saith unto her young man,  `Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have  said [so] to thee.' 
12O 004:025 And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the  hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God's  seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his  young man, `Lo, this Shunammite; 
12O 004:026 now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is  there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there  peace to the lad?' and she saith, `Peace.' 
12O 004:027 And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and  layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her  away, and the man of God saith, `Let her alone, for her soul  [is] bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden [it] from me, and  hath not declared [it] to me.' 
12O 004:028 And she saith, `Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not  say, Do not deceive me?' 
12O 004:029 And he saith to Gehazi, `Gird up thy loins, and take my  staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost  not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not  answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the  youth.' 
12O 004:030 And the mother of the youth saith, `Jehovah liveth, and thy  soul liveth -- if I leave thee;' and he riseth and goeth after  her. 
12O 004:031 And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff  on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is  no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to  him, saying, `The youth hath not awaked.' 
12O 004:032 And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is  dead, laid on his bed, 
12O 004:033 and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and  prayeth unto Jehovah. 
12O 004:034 And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his  mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on  his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of  the lad becometh warm; 
12O 004:035 and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither  and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him,  and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth  his eyes. 
12O 004:036 And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, `Call unto this  Shunammite;' and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him,  and he saith, `Lift up thy son.' 
12O 004:037 And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth  herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out. 
12O 004:038 And Elisha hath turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is]  in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before  him, and he saith to his young man, `Set on the great pot, and  boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.' 
12O 004:039 And one goeth out unto the field to gather herbs, and  findeth a vine of the field, and gathereth of it gourds of the  field -- the fulness of his garment -- and cometh in and  splitteth [them] into the pot of pottage, for they knew [them]  not; 
12O 004:040 and they pour out for the men to eat, and it cometh to pass  at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and  say, `Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!' and they have not  been able to eat. 
12O 004:041 And he saith, `Then bring ye meal;' and he casteth into the  pot, and saith, `Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and  there was no evil thing in the pot. 
12O 004:042 And a man hath come from Baal-Shalishah, and bringeth in to  the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley,  and full ears of corn in its husk, and he saith, `Give to the  people, and they eat.' 
12O 004:043 And his minister saith, `What -- do I give this before a  hundred men?' and he saith, `Give to the people, and they eat,  for thus said Jehovah, Eat and leave;' 
12O 004:044 and he giveth before them, and they eat and leave,  according to the word of Jehovah. 
12O 005:001 And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a  great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for by him had  Jehovah given salvation to Aram, and the man was mighty in  valour -- leprous. 
12O 005:002 And the Aramaeans have gone out [by] troops, and they take  captive out of the land of Israel a little damsel, and she is  before the wife of Naaman, 
12O 005:003 and she saith unto her mistress, `O that my lord [were]  before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he doth recover  him from his leprosy.' 
12O 005:004 And [one] goeth in and declareth to his lord, saying, `Thus  and thus she hath spoken, the damsel who [is] from the land of  Israel.' 
12O 005:005 And the king of Aram saith, `Go thou, enter, and I send a  letter unto the king of Israel;' and he goeth and taketh in his  hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold,  and ten changes of garments. 
12O 005:006 And he bringeth in the letter unto the king of Israel,  saying, `And now, at the coming in of this letter unto thee,  lo, I have sent unto thee Naaman my servant, and thou hast  recovered him from his leprosy.' 
12O 005:007 And it cometh to pass, at the king of Israel's reading the  letter, that he rendeth his garments, and saith, `Am I God, to  put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending unto  me to recover a man from his leprosy? for surely know, I pray  you, and see, for he is presenting himself to me.' 
12O 005:008 And it cometh to pass, at Elisha the man of God's hearing  that the king of Israel hath rent his garments, that he sendeth  unto the king, saying, `Why hast thou rent thy garments? let  him come, I pray thee, unto me, and he doth know that there is  a prophet in Israel.' 
12O 005:009 And Naaman cometh, with his horses and with his chariot, and  standeth at the opening of the house for Elisha; 
12O 005:010 and Elisha sendeth unto him a messenger, saying, `Go, and  thou hast washed seven times in Jordan, and thy flesh doth turn  back to thee -- and be thou clean. 
12O 005:011 And Naaman is wroth, and goeth on, and saith, `Lo, I said,  Unto me he doth certainly come out, and hath stood and called  in the name of Jehovah his God, and waved his hand over the  place, and recovered the leper. 
12O 005:012 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than  all the waters of Israel? do I not wash in them and I have been  clean?' and he turneth and goeth on in fury. 
12O 005:013 And his servants come nigh, and speak unto him, and say,  `My father, a great thing had the prophet spoken unto thee --  dost thou not do [it]? and surely, when he hath said unto thee,  Wash, and be clean.' 
12O 005:014 And he goeth down and dippeth in Jordan seven times,  according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh doth  turn back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean. 
12O 005:015 And he turneth back unto the man of God, he and all his  camp, and cometh in, and standeth before him, and saith, `Lo, I  pray thee, I have known that there is not a God in all the  earth except in Israel; and now, take, I pray thee, a blessing  from thy servant.' 
12O 005:016 And he saith, `Jehovah liveth, before whom I have stood --  if I take [it];' and he presseth on him to take, and he  refuseth. 
12O 005:017 And Naaman saith, `If not -- let be given, I pray thee, to  thy servant, a couple of mules' burden of earth, for thy  servant doth make no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other  gods, but to Jehovah. 
12O 005:018 For this thing Jehovah be propitious to thy servant, in the  coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself  there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in]  the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of  Rimmon Jehovah be propitious, I pray thee, to thy servant in  this thing.' 
12O 005:019 And he saith to him, `Go in peace.' And he goeth from him a  kibrath of land, 
12O 005:020 And Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, saith, `Lo,  my lord hath spared Naaman this Aramaean, not to receive from  his hand that which he brought; Jehovah liveth; surely if I  have run after him, then I have taken from him something.' 
12O 005:021 And Gehazi pursueth after Naaman, and Naaman seeth one  running after him, and alighteth from off the chariot to meet  him, and saith, `Is there peace?' 
12O 005:022 And he saith, `Peace; my lord hath sent me, saying, Lo,  now, this, come unto me have two young men from the  hill-country of Ephraim, of the sons of the prophets; give, I  pray thee, to them, a talent of silver, and two changes of  garments.' 
12O 005:023 And Naaman saith, `Be pleased, take two talents;' and he  urgeth on him, and bindeth two talents of silver in two purses,  and two changes of garments, and giveth unto two of his young  men, and they bear before him; 
12O 005:024 and he cometh in unto the high place, and taketh out of  their hand, and layeth up in the house, and sendeth away the  men, and they go. 
12O 005:025 And he hath come in, and doth stand by his lord, and Elisha  saith unto him, `Whence -- Gehazi?' and he saith, `Thy servant  went not hither or thither.' 
12O 005:026 And he saith unto him, `My heart went not when the man  turned from off his chariot to meet thee; is it a time to take  silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock,  and herd, and men-servants, and maid-servants? 
12O 005:027 yea, the leprosy of Naaman doth cleave to thee, and to thy  seed, -- to the age;' and he goeth out from before him --  leprous as snow. 
12O 006:001 And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, `Lo, we pray thee,  the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for  us; 
12O 006:002 let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence  each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell  there;' and he saith, `Go.' 
12O 006:003 And the one saith, `Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy  servants;' and he saith, `I -- I go.' 
12O 006:004 And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and  cut down the trees, 
12O 006:005 and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the  iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith,  `Alas! my lord, and it asked!' 
12O 006:006 And the man of God saith, `Whither hath it fallen?' and he  sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth  thither, and causeth the iron to swim, 
12O 006:007 and saith, `Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand  and taketh it. 
12O 006:008 And the king of Aram hath been fighting against Israel, and  taketh counsel with his servants, saying, `At such and such a  place [is] my encamping.' 
12O 006:009 And the man of God sendeth unto the king of Israel, saying,  `Take heed of passing by this place, for thither are the  Aramaeans coming down; 
12O 006:010 and the king of Israel sendeth unto the place of which the  man of God spake to him, and warned him, and he is preserved  there not once nor twice. 
12O 006:011 And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about  concerning this thing, and he calleth unto his servants, and  saith unto them, `Do ye not declare to me who of us [is] for  the king of Israel?' 
12O 006:012 And one of his servants saith, `Nay, my lord, O king, for  Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declareth to the king  of Israel the words that thou speakest in the inner part of thy  bed-chamber.' 
12O 006:013 And he saith, `Go ye and see where he [is], and I send and  take him;' and it is declared to him, saying, `Lo -- in  Dothan.' 
12O 006:014 And he sendeth thither horses and chariot, and a heavy  force, and they come in by night, and go round against the  city. 
12O 006:015 And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth  out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and  chariot, and his young man saith unto him, `Alas! my lord, how  do we do?' 
12O 006:016 And he saith, `Fear not, for more [are] they who [are] with  us than they who [are] with them.' 
12O 006:017 And Elisha prayeth, and saith, `Jehovah, open, I pray Thee,  his eyes, and he doth see;' and Jehovah openeth the eyes of the  young man, and he seeth, and lo, the hill is full of horses and  chariots of fire, round about Elisha. 
12O 006:018 And they come down unto it, and Elisha prayeth unto  Jehovah, and saith, `Smite, I pray Thee, this nation with  blindness;' and He smiteth them with blindness, according to  the word of Elisha. 
12O 006:019 And Elisha saith unto them, `This [is] not the way, nor  [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you unto the man  whom ye seek;' and he leadeth them to Samaria. 
12O 006:020 And it cometh to pass, at their coming in to Samaria, that  Elisha saith, `Jehovah, open the eyes of these, and they see;'  and Jehovah openeth their eyes, and they see, and lo, in the  midst of Samaria! 
12O 006:021 And the king of Israel saith unto Elisha, at his seeing  them, `Do I smite -- do I smite -- my father?' 
12O 006:022 And he saith, `Thou dost not smite; those whom thou hast  taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow art thou smiting?  set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and  go unto their lord.' 
12O 006:023 And he prepareth for them great provision, and they eat and  drink, and he sendeth them away, and they go unto their lord:  and troops of Aram have not added any more to come in to the  land of Israel. 
12O 006:024 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Ben-Hadad king of  Aram gathereth all his camp, and goeth up, and layeth siege to  Samaria, 
12O 006:025 and there is a great famine in Samaria, and lo, they are  laying siege to it, till the head of an ass is at eighty  silverlings, and a forth of the cab of dovesdung at five  silverlings. 
12O 006:026 And it cometh to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on  the wall, and a woman hath cried unto him, saying, `Save, my  lord, O king.' 
12O 006:027 And he saith, `Jehovah doth not save thee -- whence do I  save thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-vat?' 
12O 006:028 And the king saith to her, `What -- to thee?' and she  saith, `This woman said unto me, Give thy son, and we eat him  to-day, and my son we eat to-morrow; 
12O 006:029 and we boil my son and eat him, and I say unto her on the  next day, Give thy son, and we eat him; and she hideth her  son.' 
12O 006:030 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of  the woman, that he rendeth his garments, and he is passing by  on the wall, and the people see, and lo, the sackcloth [is] on  his flesh within. 
12O 006:031 And he saith, `Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add  -- if it remain -- the head of Elisha son of Shaphat -- upon  him this day.' 
12O 006:032 And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elders are  sitting with him, and [the king] sendeth a man from before him;  before the messenger doth come unto him, even he himself said  unto the elders, `Have ye seen that this son of the murderer  hath sent to turn aside my head? see, at the coming in of the  messenger, shut the door, and ye have held him fast at the  door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?' 
12O 006:033 He is yet speaking with them, and lo, the messenger is  coming down unto him, and he saith, `Lo, this [is] the evil  from Jehovah: what -- do I wait for Jehovah any more?' 
12O 007:001 And Elisha saith, `Hear ye a word of Jehovah: thus said  Jehovah, About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine flour  [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in  the gate of Samaria.' 
12O 007:002 And the captain whom the king hath, by whose hand he hath  been supported, answereth the man of God and saith, `Lo,  Jehovah is making windows in the heavens -- shall this thing  be?' and he saith, `Lo, thou art seeing it with thine eyes, and  thereof thou dost not eat.' 
12O 007:003 And four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate,  and they say one unto another, `What -- we are sitting here  till we have died; 
12O 007:004 if we have said, We go in to the city, then the famine [is]  in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here,  then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of  Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to  death -- we have died.' 
12O 007:005 And they rise in the twilight, to go in unto the camp of  Aram, and they come in unto the extremity of the camp of Aram,  and lo, there is not a man there, 
12O 007:006 seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise  of chariot and a noise of horse -- a noise of great force, and  they say one unto another, `Lo, the king of Israel hath hired  against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt,  to come against us.' 
12O 007:007 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their  tents, and their horses, and their asses -- the camp as it [is]  -- and flee for their life. 
12O 007:008 And these lepers come in unto the extremity of the camp, and  come in unto one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up thence  silver, and gold, and garments, and go and hide; and they turn  back and go in unto another tent, and lift up thence, and go  and hide. 
12O 007:009 And they say one unto another, `We are not doing right this  day; a day of tidings it [is], and we are keeping silent; and  -- we have waited till the light of the morning, then hath  punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to  the house of the king.' 
12O 007:010 And they come in, and call unto the gatekeeper of the  city, and declare for themselves, saying, `We have come in unto  the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not there a man, or sound of  man, but the bound horse, and the bound ass, and tents as they  [are].' 
12O 007:011 and he calleth the gatekeepers, and they declare to the  house of the king within. 
12O 007:012 And the king riseth by night, and saith unto his servants,  `Let me declare, I pray you, to you that which the Aramaeans  have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they  are gone out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying,  When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and  unto the city we enter.' 
12O 007:013 And one of his servants answereth and saith, `Then let them  take, I pray thee, five of the horses that are left, that have  been left in it -- lo, they [are] as all the multitude of  Israel who have been left in it; lo, they are as all the  multitude of Israel who have been consumed -- and we send and  see.' 
12O 007:014 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sendeth  after the camp of Aram, saying, `Go, and see.' 
12O 007:015 And they go after them unto the Jordan, and lo, all the way  is full of garments and vessels that the Aramaeans have cast  away in their haste, and the messengers turn back and declare  to the king. 
12O 007:016 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there  is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of  barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah. 
12O 007:017 And the king hath appointed the captain, by whose hand he  is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in  the gate, and he dieth, as the man of God spake, which he spake  in the coming down of the king unto him, 
12O 007:018 yea, it cometh to pass, according to the speaking of the  man of God unto the king, saying, `Two measures of barley at a  shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this  time to-morrow, in the gate of Samaria;' 
12O 007:019 and the captain answereth the man of God, and saith, `And  lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens -- it is according  to this word?' and he saith, `Lo, thou art seeing with thine  eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat;' 
12O 007:020 and it cometh to him so, and the people tread him down in  the gate, and he dieth. 
12O 008:001 And Elisha spake unto the woman whose son he had revived,  saying, `Rise and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn where  thou dost sojourn, for Jehovah hath called for a famine, and  also, it is coming unto the land seven years.' 
12O 008:002 And the woman riseth, and doth according to the word of the  man of God, and goeth, she and her household, and sojourneth in  the land of the Philistines seven years. 
12O 008:003 And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven years, that the  woman turneth back from the land of the Philistines, and goeth  out to cry unto the king, for her house, and for her field. 
12O 008:004 And the king is speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of  God, saying, `Recount, I pray thee, to me, the whole of the  great things that Elisha hath done.' 
12O 008:005 And it cometh to pass, he is recounting to the king how he  had revived the dead, and lo, the woman whose son he had  revived is crying unto the king, for her house and for her  field, and Gehazi saith, `My lord, O king, this [is] the woman,  and this her son, whom Elisha revived.' 
12O 008:006 And the king asketh at the woman, and she recounteth to him,  and the king appointeth to her a certain eunuch, saying, `Give  back all that she hath, and all the increase of the field from  the day of her leaving the land even till now.' 
12O 008:007 And Elisha cometh in to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram  is sick, and it is declared to him, saying, `The man of God  hath come hither.' 
12O 008:008 And the king saith unto Hazael, `Take in thy hand a present,  and go to meet the man of God, and thou hast sought Jehovah by  him, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?' 
12O 008:009 And Hazael goeth to meet him, and taketh a present in his  hand, even of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty  camels, and he cometh in and standeth before him, and saith,  `Thy son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, hath sent me unto thee,  saying, Do I revive from this sickness?' 
12O 008:010 And Elisha saith unto him, `Go, say, Thou dost certainly  not revive, seeing Jehovah hath shewed me that he doth surely  die.' 
12O 008:011 And he setteth his face, yea, he setteth [it] till he is  ashamed, and the man of God weepeth. 
12O 008:012 And Hazael saith, `Wherefore is my lord weeping?' and he  saith, `Because I have known the evil that thou dost to the  sons of Israel -- their fenced places thou dost send into fire,  and their young men with sword thou dost slay, and their  sucklings thou dost dash to pieces, and their pregnant women  thou dost rip up.' 
12O 008:013 And Hazael saith, `But what, [is] thy servant the dog, that  he doth this great thing?' And Elisha saith, `Jehovah hath  shewed me thee -- king of Aram.' 
12O 008:014 And he goeth from Elisha, and cometh in unto his lord, and  he saith unto him, `What said Elisha to thee?' and he saith,  `He said to me, Thou dost certainly recover.' 
12O 008:015 And it cometh to pass on the morrow, that he taketh the  coarse cloth, and dippeth in water, and spreadeth on his face,  and he dieth, and Hazael reigneth in his stead. 
12O 008:016 And in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel  -- and Jehoshaphat [is] king of Judah -- hath Jehoram son of  Jehoshaphat king of Judah reigned; 
12O 008:017 a son of thirty and two years was he in his reigning, and  eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem. 
12O 008:018 And he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did  the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a  wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, 
12O 008:019 and Jehovah was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake  of David his servant, as He said to him, to give to him a lamp  -- to his sons all the days. 
12O 008:020 In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of  Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them, 
12O 008:021 and Joram passeth over to Zair, and all the chariots with  him, and he himself hath risen by night, and smiteth Edom, that  is coming round about unto him, and the heads of the chariots,  and the people fleeth to its tents; 
12O 008:022 and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah till this  day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time. 
12O 008:023 And the rest of the matters of Joram, and all that he did,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Judah? 
12O 008:024 And Joram lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his  fathers in the city of David, and reign doth Ahaziah his son in  his stead. 
12O 008:025 In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel  reigned hath Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah; 
12O 008:026 a son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning,  and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his  mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri king of Israel, 
12O 008:027 and he walketh in the way of the house of Ahab, and doth  the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab,  for he [is] son-in-law of the house of Ahab. 
12O 008:028 And he goeth with Joram son of Ahab to battle with Hazael  king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and the Aramaeans smite Joram, 
12O 008:029 and Joram the king turneth back to be healed in Jezreel of  the wounds with which the Arameans smite him in Ramah, in his  fighting with Hazael king of Aram, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram  king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram son of Ahab in  Jezreel, for he is sick. 
12O 009:001 And Elisha the prophet hath called to one of the sons of the  prophets, and saith to him, `Gird up thy loins, and take this  vial of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-Gilead, 
12O 009:002 and thou hast gone in there, and see thou there Jehu son of  Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, and thou hast gone in, and caused  him to rise out of the midst of his brethren, and brought him  in to the inner part of an inner-chamber, 
12O 009:003 and taken the vial of oil, and poured on his head, and said,  Thus said Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel;  and thou hast opened the door, and fled, and dost not wait.' 
12O 009:004 And the young man goeth -- the young man the prophet -- to  Ramoth-Gilead, 
12O 009:005 and cometh in, and lo, chiefs of the force are sitting, and  he saith, `I have a word unto thee, O chief!' and Jehu saith,  `Unto which of all of us?' and he saith, `Unto thee, O chief.' 
12O 009:006 And he riseth and cometh in to the house, and he poureth the  oil on his head, and saith to him, `Thus said Jehovah, God of  Israel, I have anointed thee for king unto the people of  Jehovah, unto Israel, 
12O 009:007 and thou hast smitten the house of Ahab thy lord, and I have  required the blood of My servants the prophets, and the blood  of all the servants of Jehovah, from the hand of Jezebel; 
12O 009:008 and perished hath all the house of Ahab, and I have cut off  to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in  Israel, 
12O 009:009 and I have given up the house of Ahab like the house of  Jeroboam son of Nebat, and as the house of Baasha son of  Ahijah, 
12O 009:010 and Jezebel do the dogs eat in the portion of Jezreel, and  there is none burying;' and he openeth the door and fleeth. 
12O 009:011 And Jehu hath gone out unto the servants of his lord, and  [one] saith to him, `Is there peace? wherefore came this madman  unto thee?' and he saith unto them, `Ye have known the man and  his talk.' 
12O 009:012 And they say, `False, declare, we pray thee, to us;' and he  saith, `Thus and thus spake he unto me, saying, Thus said  Jehovah, I have anointed thee for king unto Israel.' 
12O 009:013 And they haste and take each his garment, and put [it]  under him at the top of the stairs, and blow with a trumpet,  and say, `Reigned hath Jehu!' 
12O 009:014 And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, conspireth  against Joram -- (and Joram was keeping in Ramoth-Gilead, he  and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram, 
12O 009:015 and king Joram turneth back to be healed in Jezreel, of the  wounds with which the Aramaeans smite him, in his fighting with  Hazael king of Aram) -- and Jehu saith, `If it is your mind,  let not an escaped one go out from the city, to go to declare  [it] in Jezreel.' 
12O 009:016 And Jehu rideth, and goeth to Jezreel, for Joram is lying  there, and Ahaziah king of Judah hath gone down to see Joram. 
12O 009:017 And the watchman is standing on the tower in Jezreel, and  seeth the company of Jehu in his coming, and saith, `A company  I see;' and Joram saith, `Take a rider and send to meet them,  and let him say, Is there peace?' 
12O 009:018 and the rider on the horse goeth to meet him, and saith,  `Thus said the king, Is there peace?' and Jehu saith, `What --  to thee and to peace? turn round behind me.' And the watchman  declareth, saying, `The messenger came unto them, and he hath  not returned.' 
12O 009:019 And he sendeth a second rider on a horse, and he cometh in  unto them, and saith, `Thus said the king, Is there peace?' and  Jehu saith, `What -- to thee and to peace? turn round behind  me.' 
12O 009:020 And the watchman declareth, saying, `He came unto them, and  he hath not returned, and the driving [is] like the driving of  Jehu son of Nimshi, for with madness he driveth.' 
12O 009:021 And Jehoram saith, `Harness;' and his chariot is harnessed,  and Jehoram king of Israel goeth out, and Ahaziah king of  Judah, each in his chariot, and they go out to meet Jehu, and  find him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. 
12O 009:022 And it cometh to pass, at Jehoram's seeing Jehu, that he  saith, `Is there peace, Jehu?' and he saith, `What [is] the  peace, while the whoredoms of Jezebel thy mother, and her  witchcrafts, are many?' 
12O 009:023 And Jehoram turneth his hands, and fleeth, and saith unto  Ahaziah, `Deceit, O Ahaziah!' 
12O 009:024 And Jehu hath filled his hand with a bow, and smiteth  Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow goeth out from his  heart, and he boweth down in his chariot. 
12O 009:025 And [Jehu] saith unto Bidkar his captain, `Lift up, cast  him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite --  for, remember, I and thou were riding together after Ahab his  father, and Jehovah lifted upon him this burden: 
12O 009:026 Have I not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons  seen yesternight -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- yea, I have  recompensed to thee in this portion -- the affirmation of  Jehovah; -- and now, lift up, cast him into the portion,  according to the word of Jehovah.' 
12O 009:027 And Ahaziah king of Judah hath seen, and fleeth the way of  the garden-house, and Jehu pursueth after him, and saith,  `Smite him -- also him -- in the chariot,' in the going up to  Gur, that [is] Ibleam, and he fleeth to Megiddo, and dieth  there, 
12O 009:028 and his servants carry him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and  bury him in his burying-place, with his fathers, in the city of  David. 
12O 009:029 And in the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab reign did  Ahaziah over Judah. 
12O 009:030 And Jehu cometh in to Jezreel, and Jezebel hath heard, and  putteth her eyes in paint and maketh right her head, and  looketh out through the window. 
12O 009:031 And Jehu hath come into the gate, and she saith, `Was there  peace [to] Zimri -- slayer of his lord?' 
12O 009:032 And he lifteth up his face unto the window, and saith, `Who  [is] with me? -- who?' and look out unto him do two [or] three  eunuchs; 
12O 009:033 And he saith, `Let her go;' and they let her go, and [some]  of her blood is sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses, and  he treadeth her down. 
12O 009:034 And he cometh in, and eateth, and drinketh, and saith,  `Look after, I pray you, this cursed one, and bury her, for she  [is] a king's daughter.' 
12O 009:035 And they go to bury her, and have not found of her except  the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands. 
12O 009:036 And they turn back, and declare to him, and he saith, `The  word of Jehovah it [is], that He spake by the hand of this  servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel  do the dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel, 
12O 009:037 and the carcase of Jezebel hath been as dung on the face of  the field in the portion of Jezreel, that they say not, This  [is] Jezebel.' 
12O 010:001 And Ahab hath seventy sons in Samaria, and Jehu writeth  letters, and sendeth to Samaria, unto the heads of Jezreel, the  elders, and unto the supporters of Ahab, saying, 
12O 010:002 `And now, at the coming in of this letter unto you, and  with you [are] sons of your lord, and with you [are] the  chariots and the horses, and a fenced city, and the armour, 
12O 010:003 and ye have seen the best and the uprightest of the sons of  your lord, and have set [him] on the throne of his father, and  fight ye for the house of your lord.' 
12O 010:004 And they fear very greatly, and say, `Lo, the two kings  have not stood before him, and how do we stand -- we?' 
12O 010:005 And he who [is] over the house, and he who [is] over the  city, and the elders, and the supporters, send unto Jehu,  saying, `Thy servants we [are], and all that thou sayest unto  us we do; we do not make any one king -- that which [is] good  in thine eyes do.' 
12O 010:006 And he writeth unto them a letter a second time, saying,  `If ye [are] for me, and to my voice are hearkening, take the  heads of the men -- the sons of your lord, and come unto me  about this time to-morrow, to Jezreel;' and the sons of the  king [are] seventy men, with the great ones of the city those  bringing them up. 
12O 010:007 And it cometh to pass, at the coming in of the letter unto  them, that they take the sons of the king, and slaughter  seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and send unto him  to Jezreel, 
12O 010:008 and the messenger cometh in, and declareth to him, saying,  `They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king,' and  he saith, `Make them two heaps at the opening of the gate till  the morning.' 
12O 010:009 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that he goeth out,  and standeth, and saith unto all the people, `Righteous are ye;  lo, I have conspired against my lord, and slay him -- and who  smote all these? 
12O 010:010 Know ye now, that nothing doth fall of the word of Jehovah  to the earth that Jehovah spake against the house of Ahab, and  Jehovah hath done that which He spake by the hand of His  servant Elijah.' 
12O 010:011 And Jehu smiteth all those left to the house of Ahab in  Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his  priests, till he hath not left to him a remnant. 
12O 010:012 And he riseth, and cometh in and goeth to Samaria; he [is]  at the shepherds' shearing-house in the way, 
12O 010:013 and Jehu hath found the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah,  and saith, `Who [are] ye?' and they say, `Brethren of Ahaziah  we [are], and we go down to salute the sons of the king, and  the sons of the mistress.' 
12O 010:014 And he saith, `Catch them alive;' and they catch them  alive, and slaughter them at the pit of the shearing-house,  forty and two men, and he hath not left a man of them. 
12O 010:015 And he goeth thence, and findeth Jehonadab son of Rechab  -- to meet him, and blesseth him, and saith unto him, `Is thy  heart right, as my heart [is] with thy heart?' and Jehonadab  saith, `It is;' -- `Then it is; give thy hand;' and he giveth  his hand, and he causeth him to come up into him into the  chariot, 
12O 010:016 and saith, `Come with me, and look on my zeal for  Jehovah;' and they cause him to ride in his chariot. 
12O 010:017 And he cometh in to Samaria, and smiteth all those left to  Ahab in Samaria, till his destroying him, according to the word  of Jehovah that He spake unto Elisha. 
12O 010:018 And Jehu gathereth the whole of the people, and saith unto  them, `Ahab served Baal a little -- Jehu doth serve him much: 
12O 010:019 and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and  all his priests, call ye unto me; let not a man be lacking, for  a great sacrifice I have for Baal; every one who is lacking --  he doth not live;' and Jehu hath done [it] in subtilty, in  order to destroy the servants of Baal. 
12O 010:020 And Jehu saith, `Sanctify a restraint for Baal;' and they  proclaim [it]. 
12O 010:021 And Jehu sendeth into all Israel, and all the servants of  Baal come in, and there hath not been left a man who hath not  come in; and they come in to the house of Baal, and the house  of Baal is full -- mouth to mouth. 
12O 010:022 And he saith to him who [is] over the wardrobe, `Bring out  clothing to all servants of Baal;' and he bringeth out to them  the clothing. 
12O 010:023 And Jehu goeth in, and Jehonadab son of Rechab, to the  house of Baal, and saith to the servants of Baal, `Search and  see, lest there be here with you of the servants of Jehovah --  but, the servants of Baal by themselves.' 
12O 010:024 And they come in to make sacrifices and burnt-offerings,  and Jehu hath set for himself in an out-place eighty men, and  saith, `The man who letteth escape [any] of the men whom I am  bringing in unto your hand -- his soul for his soul.' 
12O 010:025 And it cometh to pass at his finishing to make the  burnt-offering, that Jehu saith to the runners, and to the  captains, `Go in, smite them, let none come out;' and they  smite them by the mouth of the sword, and the runners and the  captains cast [them] out; and they go unto the city, to the  house of Baal, 
12O 010:026 and bring out the standing-pillars of the house of Baal,  and burn them, 
12O 010:027 and break down the standing-pillar of Baal, and break down  the house of Baal, and appoint it for a draught-house unto this  day. 
12O 010:028 And Jehu destroyeth Baal out of Israel, 
12O 010:029 only -- the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused  Israel to sin, Jehu hath not turned aside from after them --  the calves of gold that [are] at Beth-El, and in Dan. 
12O 010:030 And Jehovah saith unto Jehu, `Because that thou hast done  well, to do that which [is] right in Mine eyes -- according to  all that [is] in My heart thou hast done to the house of Ahab  -- the sons of the fourth [generation] do sit for thee on the  throne of Israel.' 
12O 010:031 And Jehu hath not taken heed to walk in the law of  Jehovah, God of Israel, with all his heart, he hath not turned  aside from the sins of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin. 
12O 010:032 In those days hath Jehovah begun to cut off [some] in  Israel, and Hazael smiteth them in all the border of Israel, 
12O 010:033 from the Jordan, at the sun-rising, the whole land of  Gilead, of the Gadite, and the Reubenite, and the Manassahite  (from Aroer, that [is] by the brook Arnon), even Gilead and  Bashan. 
12O 010:034 And the rest of the matters of Jehu, and all that he did,  and all his might, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
12O 010:035 And Jehu lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in  Samaria, and reign doth Jehoahaz his son in his stead. 
12O 010:036 And the days that Jehu hath reigned over Israel [are]  twenty and eight years, in Samaria. 
12O 011:001 And Athaliah [is] mother of Ahaziah, and she hath seen that  her son [is] dead, and she riseth, and destroyeth all the seed  of the kingdom; 
12O 011:002 and Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah,  taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him out of the midst  of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his  nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him  from the presence of Athaliah, and he hath not been put to  death, 
12O 011:003 and he is with her, in the house of Jehovah, hiding  himself, six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land. 
12O 011:004 And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada sent and taketh the  heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners,  and bringeth them in unto him, to the house of Jehovah, and  maketh with them a covenant, and causeth them to swear in the  house of Jehovah, and sheweth them the son of the king, 
12O 011:005 and commandeth them, saying, `This [is] the thing that ye  do; The third of you [are] going in on the sabbath, and keepers  of the charge of the house of the king, 
12O 011:006 and the third [is] at the gate of Sur, and the third at the  gate behind the runners, and ye have kept the charge of the  house pulled down; 
12O 011:007 and two parts of you, all going out on the sabbath -- they  have kept the charge of the house of Jehovah about the king, 
12O 011:008 and ye have compassed the king round about, each with his  weapons in his hand, and he who is coming unto the ranges is  put to death; and be ye with the king in his going out and in  his coming in.' 
12O 011:009 And the heads of the hundreds do according to all that  Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take each his men going in  on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, and come  in unto Jehoiada the priest, 
12O 011:010 and the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds the  spears and the shields that king David had, that [are] in the  house of Jehovah. 
12O 011:011 And the runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand,  from the right shoulder of the house unto the left shoulder of  the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king round  about; 
12O 011:012 and he bringeth out the son of the king, and putteth on  him the crown, and the testimony, and they make him king, and  anoint him, and smite the hand, and say, `Let the king live.' 
12O 011:013 And Athaliah heareth the voice of the runners [and] of the  people, and she cometh in unto the people, to the house of  Jehovah, 
12O 011:014 and looketh, and lo, the king is standing by the pillar,  according to the ordinance, and the heads, and the trumpets,  [are] by the king, and all the people of the land are  rejoicing, and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah rendeth her  garments, and calleth, `Conspiracy! conspiracy!' 
12O 011:015 And Jehoiada the priest commandeth the heads of the  hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, `Bring  her out unto the outside of the ranges, and him who is going  after her, put to death by the sword:' for the priest had said,  `Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.' 
12O 011:016 And they make for her sides, and she entereth the way of  the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is  put to death there. 
12O 011:017 And Jehoiada maketh the covenant between Jehovah and the  king and the people, to be for a people to Jehovah, and between  the king and the people. 
12O 011:018 And all the people of the land go in to the house of Baal,  and break it down, its altars and its images they have  thoroughly broken, and Mattan priest of Baal they have slain  before the altars; and the priest setteth inspectors over the  house of Jehovah, 
12O 011:019 and taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the  executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land,  and they bring down the king from the house of Jehovah, and  come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the  king, and he sitteth on the throne of the kings. 
12O 011:020 And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city [is]  quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword in the  house of the king; 
12O 011:021 a son of seven years is Jehoash in his reigning. 
12O 012:001 In the seventh year of Jehu reigned hath Jehoash, and forty  years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother  [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba, 
12O 012:002 and Jehoash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah  all his days in which Jehoiada the priest directed him, 
12O 012:003 only, the high places have not turned aside, still are the  people sacrificing and making perfume in high places. 
12O 012:004 And Jehoash saith unto the priests, `All the money of the  sanctified things that is brought in to the house of Jehovah,  the money of him who is passing over, each the money of his  valuation, all the money that it goeth up on the heart of a man  to bring in to the house of Jehovah, 
12O 012:005 do the priests take to them, each from his acquaintance,  and they strengthen the breach of the house, in all [places]  where there is found a breach.' 
12O 012:006 And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and third year of king  Jehoash, the priests have not strengthened the breach of the  house, 
12O 012:007 and king Jehoash calleth to Jehoiada the priest, and to the  priests, and saith unto them, `Wherefore are ye not  strengthening the breach of the house? and now, receive no  money from your acquaintances, but for the breach of the house  give it.' 
12O 012:008 And the priests consent not to receive money from the  people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house, 
12O 012:009 and Jehoiada the priest taketh a chest, and pierceth a hole  in its lid, and putteth it near the altar, on the right side,  as one cometh in to the house of Jehovah, and the priests  keeping the threshold have put there all the money that is  brought in to the house of Jehovah. 
12O 012:010 And it cometh to pass, at their seeing that the money [is]  abundant in the chest, that there goeth up a scribe of the  king, and of the high priest, and they bind [it] up, and count  the money that is found [in] the house of Jehovah, 
12O 012:011 and have given the weighed money into the hands of those  doing the work, those inspecting the house of Jehovah, and they  bring it out to those working in the wood, and to builders who  are working in the house of Jehovah, 
12O 012:012 and to those [repairing] the wall, and to hewers of stone,  and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the breach of the  house of Jehovah, and for all that goeth out on the house, to  strengthen it. 
12O 012:013 Only, there is not made for the house of Jehovah basins of  silver, snuffers, bowls, trumpets, any vessel of gold, and  vessel of silver, out of the money that is brought into the  house of Jehovah; 
12O 012:014 for to those doing the work they give it, and they have  strengthened with it the house of Jehovah, 
12O 012:015 and they do not reckon with the men into whose hand they  give the money to give to those doing the work, for in  faithfulness they are dealing. 
12O 012:016 The money of a trespass-offering, and the money of  sin-offerings is not brought in to the house of Jehovah -- for  the priests it is. 
12O 012:017 Then go up doth Hazael king of Aram, and fighteth against  Gath, and captureth it, and Hazael setteth his face to go up  against Jerusalem; 
12O 012:018 and Jehoash king of Judah taketh all the sanctified things  that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings  of Judah, had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, and  all the gold that is found in the treasures of the house of  Jehovah and of the house of the king, and sendeth to Hazael  king of Aram, and he goeth up from off Jerusalem. 
12O 012:019 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Judah? 
12O 012:020 And his servants rise, and make a conspiracy, and smite  Joash in the house of Millo, that is going down to Silla: 
12O 012:021 yea, Jozachar son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad son of  Shemer, his servants, have smitten him, and he dieth, and they  bury him with his fathers in the city of David, and reign doth  Amaziah his son, in his stead. 
12O 013:001 In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king  of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in  Samaria -- seventeen years, 
12O 013:002 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and  goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused  Israel to sin -- he turned not aside from it, 
12O 013:003 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He  giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the  hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days. 
12O 013:004 And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah  hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel,  for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, -- 
12O 013:005 and Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out  from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in  their tents as heretofore; 
12O 013:006 only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house  of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked,  and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, -- 
12O 013:007 for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty  horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the  king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for  threshing. 
12O 013:008 And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he  did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of the kings of Israel? 
12O 013:009 And Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in  Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead. 
12O 013:010 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah  reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria --  sixteen years, 
12O 013:011 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath  not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat,  that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked. 
12O 013:012 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did,  and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah,  are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings  of Israel? 
12O 013:013 And Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on  his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings of  Israel. 
12O 013:014 And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he  dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and  weepeth on his face, and saith, `My father, my father, the  chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.' 
12O 013:015 And Elisha saith to him, `Take bow and arrows:' and he  taketh unto him bow and arrows. 
12O 013:016 And he saith to the king of Israel, `Place thy hand on the  bow;' and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on  the hands of the king, 
12O 013:017 and saith, `Open the window eastward;' and he openeth, and  Elisha saith, `Shoot,' and he shooteth; and he saith, `An arrow  of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against  Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.' 
12O 013:018 And he saith, `Take the arrows,' and he taketh; and he  saith to the king of Israel, `Smite to the earth;' and he  smiteth three times, and stayeth. 
12O 013:019 And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, `By  smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till  consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.' 
12O 013:020 And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab  come in to the land, at the coming in of the year, 
12O 013:021 and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo,  they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of  Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of  Elisha, and liveth, and riseth on his feet. 
12O 013:022 And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days  of Jehoahaz, 
12O 013:023 and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto  them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and  Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast  them from His presence as yet. 
12O 013:024 And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad  his son in his stead, 
12O 013:025 and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities  out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken  out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath  Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities of Israel. 
12O 014:001 In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel  reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah; 
12O 014:002 a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and  twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the  name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem, 
12O 014:003 and he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah,  only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his  father did he hath done, 
12O 014:004 only, the high places have not turned aside -- yet are the  people sacrificing and making perfume in high places. 
12O 014:005 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in  his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting the king  his father, 
12O 014:006 and the sons of those smiting [him] he hath not put to  death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that  Jehovah commanded, saying, `Fathers are not put to death for  sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for  his own sin is put to death.' 
12O 014:007 He hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt -- ten  thousand, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calleth its name  Joktheel unto this day, 
12O 014:008 then hath Amaziah sent messengers unto Jehoash son of  Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, `Come, we look  one another in the face.' 
12O 014:009 And Jehoash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of  Judah, saying, `The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto  the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my  son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is]  in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn. 
12O 014:010 Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath  lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why  dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou,  and Judah with thee?' 
12O 014:011 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash  king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and  Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's, 
12O 014:012 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee each to  his tent.

12O 014:014 and hath taken all the gold and the silver, and all the  vessels that are found in the house of Jehovah, and in the  treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the  pledges, and turneth back to Samaria. 
12O 014:015 And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and  his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are  they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of  Israel?

12O 014:026 for Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel -- very  bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left,  and there is no helper to Israel;

12O 015:032 In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel  reigned hath Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah. 
12O 015:033 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and  sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his  mother [is] Jerusha daughter of Zadok, 
12O 015:034 and he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that Uzziah his father did he hath done. 
12O 015:035 Only, the high places have not turned aside -- yet are the  people sacrificing and making perfume in high places; he hath  built the high gate of the house of Jehovah. 
12O 015:036 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all that he  did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the  kings of Judah? 
12O 015:037 In those days hath Jehovah begun to send against Judah  Rezin king of Amram and Pekah son of Remaliah. 
12O 015:038 And Jotham lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his  fathers, in the city of David his father, and reign doth Ahaz  his son in his stead. 
12O 016:001 In the seventeenth year of Pekah son of Remaliah reigned  hath Ahaz son of Jotham king of Judah. 
12O 016:002 A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and  sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not  done that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah his God, like  David his father, 
12O 016:003 and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, and also  his son he hath caused to pass over into fire, according to the  abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the  presence of the sons of Israel, 
12O 016:004 and he sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and  on the heights, and under every green tree. 
12O 016:005 Then doth Rezin king of Aram go up, and Pekah son of  Remaliah king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle, and they lay  siege to Ahaz, and they have not been able to fight. 
12O 016:006 At that time hath Rezin king of Aram brought back Elath to  Aram, and casteth out the Jews from Elath, and the Aramaeans  have come in to Elath, and dwell there unto this day. 
12O 016:007 And Ahaz sendeth messengers unto Tiglath-Pileser king of  Asshur, saying, `Thy servant and thy son [am] I; come up and  save me out of the hand of the king of Aram, and out of the  hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.' 
12O 016:008 And Ahaz taketh the silver and the gold that is found in  the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the  king, and sendeth to the king of Asshur -- a bribe. 
12O 016:009 And hearken unto him doth the king of Asshur, and the king  of Asshur goeth up unto Damascus, and seizeth it, and removeth  [the people of] it to Kir, and Rezin he hath put to death. 
12O 016:010 And king Ahaz goeth to meet Tiglath-Pileser king of Asshur  [at] Damascus, and seeth the altar that [is] in Damascus, and  king Ahaz sendeth unto Urijah the priest the likeness of the  altar, and its pattern, according to all its work, 
12O 016:011 and Urijah the priest buildeth the altar according to all  that king Ahaz hath sent from Damascus; so did Urijah the  priest till the coming in of king Ahaz from Damascus. 
12O 016:012 And the king cometh in from Damascus, and the king seeth  the altar, and the king draweth near on the altar, and offereth  on it, 
12O 016:013 and perfumeth his burnt-offering, and his present, and  poureth out his libation, and sprinkleth the blood of the  peace-offerings that he hath, on the altar. 
12O 016:014 As to the altar of brass that [is] before Jehovah -- he  bringeth [it] near from the front of the house, from between  the altar and the house of Jehovah, and putteth it on the side  of the altar, northward. 
12O 016:015 And king Ahaz commandeth him -- Urijah the priest --  saying, `On the great altar perfume the burnt-offering of the  morning, and the present of the evening, and the burnt-offering  of the king, and his present, and the burnt-offering of all the  people of the land, and their present, and their libations; and  all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the  sacrifice, on it thou dost sprinkle, and the altar of brass is  to me to inquire [by].' 
12O 016:016 And Urijah the priest doth according to all that king Ahaz  commanded. 
12O 016:017 And king Ahaz cutteth off the borders of the bases, and  turneth aside from off them the laver, and the sea he hath  taken down from off the brazen oxen that [are] under it, and  putteth it on a pavement of stones. 
12O 016:018 And the covered place for the sabbath that they built in  the house, and the entrance of the king without, he turned  [from] the house of Jehovah, because of the king of Asshur. 
12O 016:019 And the rest of the matters of Ahaz that he did, are they  not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of  Judah? 
12O 016:020 And Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his  fathers, in the city of David, and reign doth Hezekiah his son  in his stead. 
12O 017:001 In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah reigned hath  Hoshea son of Elah in Samaria, over Israel -- nine years, 
12O 017:002 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only,  not as the kings of Israel who were before him; 
12O 017:003 against him came up Shalmaneser king of Asshur, and Hoshea  is to him a servant, and doth render to him a present. 
12O 017:004 And the king of Asshur findeth in Hoshea a conspiracy, in  that he hath sent messengers unto So king of Egypt, and hath  not caused a present to go up to the king of Asshur, as year by  year, and the king of Asshur restraineth him, and bindeth him  in a house of restraint. 
12O 017:005 And the king of Asshur goeth up into all the land, and he  goeth up to Samaria, and layeth siege against it three years; 
12O 017:006 in the ninth year of Hoshea hath the king of Asshur  captured Samaria, and removeth Israel to Asshur, and causeth  them to dwell in Halah, and in Habor, [by] the river Gozan, and  [in] the cities of the Medes. 
12O 017:007 And it cometh to pass, because the sons of Israel have  sinned against Jehovah their God -- who bringeth them up out of  the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt  -- and fear other gods, 
12O 017:008 and walk in the statutes of the nations that Jehovah  dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, and of  the kings of Israel that they made; 
12O 017:009 and the sons of Israel do covertly things that [are] not  right against Jehovah their God, and build for them high places  in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers unto the  fenced city, 
12O 017:010 and set up for them standing-pillars and shrines on every  high height, and under every green tree, 
12O 017:011 and make perfume there in all high places, like the  nations that Jehovah removed from their presence, and do evil  things to provoke Jehovah, 
12O 017:012 and serve the idols, of which Jehovah said to them, `Ye do  not do this thing;' 
12O 017:013 And Jehovah testifieth against Israel, and against Judah,  by the hand of every prophet, and every seer, saying, `Turn  back from your evil ways, and keep My commands, My statutes,  according to all the law that I commanded your fathers, and  that I sent unto you by the hand of My servants the prophets;' 
12O 017:014 and they have not hearkened, and harden their neck, like  the neck of their fathers, who did not remain stedfast in  Jehovah their God, 
12O 017:015 and reject His statutes and His covenant that He made with  their fathers, and His testimonies that He testified against  them, and go after the vain thing, and become vain, and after  the nations that are round about them, of whom Jehovah  commanded them not to do like them; 
12O 017:016 And they forsake all the commands of Jehovah their God,  and make to them a molten image -- two calves, and make a  shrine, and bow themselves to all the host of the heavens, and  serve Baal, 
12O 017:017 and cause their sons and their daughters to pass over  through fire, and divine divinations, and use enchantments, and  sell themselves to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to  provoke Him; 
12O 017:018 That Jehovah sheweth himself very angry against Israel,  and turneth them aside from His presence; none hath been left,  only the tribe of Judah by itself. 
12O 017:019 Also Judah hath not kept the commands of Jehovah their  God, and they walk in the statutes of Israel that they had  made. 
12O 017:020 And Jehovah kicketh against all the seed of Israel, and  afflicteth them, and giveth them into the hand of spoilers,  till that He hath cast them out of His presence, 
12O 017:021 for He hath rent Israel from the house of David, and they  make Jeroboam son of Nebat king, and Jeroboam driveth Israel  from after Jehovah, and hath caused them to sin a great sin, 
12O 017:022 and the sons of Israel walk in all the sins of Jeroboam  that he did, they have not turned aside therefrom, 
12O 017:023 till that Jehovah hath turned Israel aside from His  presence, as He spake by the hand of all His servants the  prophets, and Israel is removed from off its land to Asshur,  unto this day. 
12O 017:024 And the king of Asshur bringeth in from Babylon and from  Cutha, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and  causeth [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the  sons of Israel, and they possess Samaria, and dwell in its  cities; 
12O 017:025 and it cometh to pass, at the commencement of their  dwelling there, they have not feared Jehovah, and Jehovah doth  send among them the lions, and they are destroying among them. 
12O 017:026 And they speak to the king of Asshur, saying, `The nations  that thou hast removed, and dost place in the cities of Samaria,  have not known the custom of the God of the land, and He  sendeth among them the lions, and lo, they are destroying them,  as they do not know the custom of the God of the land.' 
12O 017:027 And the king of Asshur commandeth, saying, `Cause to go  thither one of the priests whom ye removed thence, and they go  and dwell there, and he doth teach them the custom of the God  of the land.' 
12O 017:028 And one of the priests whom they removed from Samaria  cometh in, and dwelleth in Beth-El, and he is teaching them how  they do fear Jehovah, 
12O 017:029 and they are making each nation its gods, and place [them]  in the houses of the high places that the Samaritans have made,  each nation in their cities where they are dwelling. 
12O 017:030 And the men of Babylon have made Succoth-Benoth, and the  men of Cuth have made Nergal, and the men of Hamath have made  Ashima, 
12O 017:031 and the Avites have made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the  Sepharvites are burning their sons with fire to Adrammelech and  Anammelech, gods of Sepharvim. 
12O 017:032 And they are fearing Jehovah, and make to themselves from  their extremities priests of high places, and they are acting  for them in the house of the high places. 
12O 017:033 Jehovah they are fearing, and their gods they are serving,  according to the custom of the nations whence they removed  them. 
12O 017:034 Unto this day they are doing according to the former  customs -- they are not fearing Jehovah, and are not doing  according to their statutes, and according to their ordinances,  and according to the law, and according to the command, that  Jehovah commanded the sons of Jacob whose name He made Israel, 
12O 017:035 and Jehovah maketh with them a covenant, and chargeth  them, saying, `Ye do not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to  them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them, 
12O 017:036 but Jehovah who brought you up out of the land of Egypt  with great power, and with a stretched-out arm, Him ye do fear,  and to Him ye bow yourselves, and to Him ye do sacrifice; 
12O 017:037 and the statutes, and the judgments, and the law, and the  command, that He wrote for you, ye observe to do all the days,  and ye do not fear other gods; 
12O 017:038 and the covenant that I have made with you ye do not  forget, and ye do not fear other gods; 
12O 017:039 but Jehovah your God ye do fear, and He doth deliver you  out of the hand of all your enemies;' 
12O 017:040 and they have not hearkened, but according to their former  custom they are doing, 
12O 017:041 and these nations are fearing Jehovah, and their graven  images they have served, both their sons and their sons' sons;  as their fathers did, they are doing unto this day. 
12O 018:001 And it cometh to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of  Elah king of Israel, reigned hath Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of  Judah; 
12O 018:002 a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and  twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the  name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah. 
12O 018:003 And he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that David his father did, 
12O 018:004 he hath turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces  the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrine, and beaten down  the brazen serpent that Moses made, for unto these days were  the sons of Israel making perfume to it, and he calleth it `a  piece of brass.' 
12O 018:005 In Jehovah, God of Israel, he hath trusted, and after him  there hath not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor  [among any] who were before him; 
12O 018:006 and he cleaveth to Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from  after Him, and keepeth His commands that Jehovah commanded  Moses. 
12O 018:007 And Jehovah hath been with him, in every place where he  goeth out he acteth wisely, and he rebelleth against the king  of Asshur, and hath not served him; 
12O 018:008 he hath smitten the Philistines unto Gaza, and its borders,  from a tower of watchers unto the fenced city. 
12O 018:009 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of king Hezekiah  -- it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of  Israel -- come up hath Shalmaneser king of Asshur against  Samaria, and layeth siege to it, 
12O 018:010 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the  sixth year of Hezekiah -- it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king  of Israel -- hath Samaria been captureth, 
12O 018:011 and the king of Asshur removeth Israel to Asshur, and  placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and  [in] cities of the Medes, 
12O 018:012 because that they have not hearkened to the voice of  Jehovah their God, and transgress His covenant -- all that He  commanded Moses, servant of Jehovah -- yea, they have not  hearkened nor done [it]. 
12O 018:013 And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah hath  Sennacherib king of Asshur come up against all the fenced  cities of Judah, and seizeth them, 
12O 018:014 and Hezekiah king of Judah sendeth unto the king of Asshur  to Lachish, saying, `I have sinned, turn back from off me; that  which thou puttest on me I bear;' and the king of Asshur layeth  on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver, and  thirty talents of gold, 
12O 018:015 and Hezekiah giveth all the silver that is found in the  house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the  king; 
12O 018:016 at that time hath Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple  of Jehovah, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had  overlaid, and giveth them to the king of Asshur. 
12O 018:017 And the king of Asshur sendeth Tartan, and the chief of  the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, unto  king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up  and come in to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand  by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of  the fuller's field. 
12O 018:018 And they call unto the king, and go out unto them doth  Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna  the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer. 
12O 018:019 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, `Say, I pray  you, unto Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of  Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided? 
12O 018:020 Thou hast said: Only a word of the lips! counsel and might  [are] for battle; now, on whom hast thou trusted that thou hast  rebelled against me? 
12O 018:021 `Now, lo, thou hast trusted for thee on the staff of this  broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone  into his hand, and pierced it! -- so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt  to all those trusting on him. 
12O 018:022 `And when ye say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have  trusted, is it not He whose high places and whose altars  Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to  Jerusalem, Before this altar do ye bow yourselves in Jerusalem? 
12O 018:023 `And, now, give a pledge for thee, I pray thee, to my lord  the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if  thou art able to give for thee riders on them. 
12O 018:024 And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the  least of the servants of my lord, that thou dost trust for thee  on Egypt for chariot, and for horsemen? 
12O 018:025 Now, without Jehovah have I come up against this place to  destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and  thou hast destroyed it.' 
12O 018:026 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah saith -- and Shebna, and Joah  -- to the chief of the butlers, `Speak, we pray thee, unto thy  servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding, and do not  speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are]  on the wall.' 
12O 018:027 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, `For thy  lord, and unto thee, hath my lord sent me to speak these words?  is it not for the men, those sitting on the wall to eat their  own dung and to drink their own water, with you?' 
12O 018:028 And the chief of the butlers standeth and calleth with a  great voice [in] Jewish, and speaketh and saith, `Hear ye a  word of the great king, the king of Asshur: 
12O 018:029 thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he  is not able to deliver you out of his hand; 
12O 018:030 and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying,  Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, and this city is not given  into the hand of the king of Asshur. 
12O 018:031 `Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of  Asshur, Make with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat  ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye  each the waters of his own well, 
12O 018:032 till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like  your own land, a land of corn and new wine, a land of bread and  vineyards, a land of oil olive, and honey, and live, and die  not; and do not hearken unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you,  saying, Jehovah doth deliver us. 
12O 018:033 `Have the gods of the nations delivered at all each his  land out of the hand of the king of Asshur? 
12O 018:034 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods  of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered  Samaria out of my hand? 
12O 018:035 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have  delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver  Jerusalem out of my hand?' 
12O 018:036 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him  a word, for the command of the king is, saying, `Do not answer  him.' 
12O 018:037 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house,  cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the  remembrancer, unto Hezekiah, with rent garments, and they  declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers. 
12O 019:001 And it cometh to pass, at king Hezekiah's hearing, that he  rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and  entereth the house of Jehovah, 
12O 019:002 and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna  the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves  with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz, 
12O 019:003 and they say unto him, `Thus said Hezekiah -- A day of  distress, and rebuke, and despising [is] this day; for come  have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bring  forth. 
12O 019:004 `It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear all the words of the  chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord  hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided  concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou  hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.' 
12O 019:005 And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah, 
12O 019:006 and Isaiah saith to them, `Thus do ye say unto your lord:  Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou  hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have  reviled Me. 
12O 019:007 Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a  report, and hath turned back to his land, and I have caused him  to fall by the sword in his land.' 
12O 019:008 And the chief of the butlers turneth back and findeth the  king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that  he hath journeyed from Lachish. 
12O 019:009 And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying,  `Lo, he hath come out to fight with thee;' and he turneth and  sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying, 
12O 019:010 `Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let  not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying,  Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur. 
12O 019:011 Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have  done to all the lands -- to devote them; and thou art  delivered! 
12O 019:012 did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers  destroyed -- Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of  Eden, who [are] in Thelassar? 
12O 019:013 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and  the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?' 
12O 019:014 And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the  messengers, and readeth them, and goeth up to the house of  Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah. 
12O 019:015 And Hezekiah prayeth before Jehovah, and saith, `O  Jehovah, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God  Himself -- Thyself alone -- to all the kingdoms of the earth:  Thou hast made the heavens and the earth. 
12O 019:016 Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah,  Thine eyes, and see; and hear Thou the words of Sennacherib  with which he hath sent him to reproach the living God. 
12O 019:017 `Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste the  nations, and their land, 
12O 019:018 and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods,  but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them. 
12O 019:019 And now, O Jehovah our God, save us, we pray Thee, out of  his hand, and know do all kingdoms of the earth that Thou [art]  Jehovah God -- Thyself alone.' 
12O 019:020 And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying,  `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed  unto Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard: 
12O 019:021 this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him:  `Trampled on thee -- laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter  of Zion Behind thee shaken the head -- Hath the daughter of  Jerusalem? 
12O 019:022 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom  lifted up a voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes --  Against the Holy One of Israel! 
12O 019:023 By the hand of thy messengers Thou hast reproached the  Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come  up to a high place of mountains -- The sides of Lebanon, And I  cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And  I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel. 
12O 019:024 I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with  the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark. 
12O 019:025 Hast thou not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old  that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becometh a  desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fenced cities, 
12O 019:026 And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were  broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the  field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the  roofs, And blasted corn -- before it hath risen up! 
12O 019:027 And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming  in, I have known, And thine anger towards Me; 
12O 019:028 Because of thine anger towards Me, And thy noise -- it  came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My  bridle in thy lips, And have caused thee to turn back, In the  way in which thou camest. 
12O 019:029 And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] the  spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced,  And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards,  and eat their fruits. 
12O 019:030 And it hath continued -- The escaped of the house of Judah  That hath been left -- to take root beneath, And hath made  fruit upward. 
12O 019:031 For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from  mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah [of Hosts] doth this. 
12O 019:032 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of  Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot  there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor  doth he pour out against it a mount. 
12O 019:033 In the way that he cometh in -- In it he turneth back, And  unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah  -- 
12O 019:034 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine  own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.' 
12O 019:035 And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of  Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred  eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning,  and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses. 
12O 019:036 And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and  turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh; 
12O 019:037 and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house  of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar [his sons] have  smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land  of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead. 
12O 020:001 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come  unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and saith unto  him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou  art dying, and dost not live.' 
12O 020:002 And he turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth  unto Jehovah, saying, 
12O 020:003 `I pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have  walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect  heart, and that which [is] good in Thine eyes I have done;' and  Hezekiah weepeth -- a great weeping. 
12O 020:004 And it cometh to pass -- Isaiah hath not gone out to the  middle court -- that the word of Jehovah hath been unto him,  saying, 
12O 020:005 `Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My  people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have  heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to  thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah; 
12O 020:006 and I have added to thy days fifteen years, and out of the  hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and  have covered over this city for Mine own sake, and for the sake  of David My servant.' 
12O 020:007 And Isaiah saith, `Take ye a cake of figs;' and they take  and lay [it] on the boil, and he reviveth. 
12O 020:008 And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `What [is] the sign that  Jehovah doth give healing to me, that I have gone up on the  third day to the house of Jehovah?' 
12O 020:009 And Isaiah saith, `This [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah,  that Jehovah doth the thing that He hath spoken -- The shadow  hath gone on ten degrees, or it doth turn back ten degrees?' 
12O 020:010 And Hezekiah saith, `It hath been light for the shadow to  incline ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow turn backward ten  degrees.' 
12O 020:011 And Isaiah the prophet calleth unto Jehovah, and He  bringeth back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down  in the degrees of Ahaz -- backward ten degrees. 
12O 020:012 At that time hath Berodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of  Babylon sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he heard  that Hezekiah had been sick; 
12O 020:013 and Hezekiah hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth them all  the house of his treasury, the silver, and the gold, and the  spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his  vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasuries; there  hath not been a thing that Hezekiah hath not shewed them, in  his house, and in all his dominion. 
12O 020:014 And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and  saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto  thee?' And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come  -- from Babylon.' 
12O 020:015 And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?' and Hezekiah  saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been  a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.' 
12O 020:016 And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah: 
12O 020:017 Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in  thy house, and that thy father have treasured up till this day,  to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah; 
12O 020:018 and of thy sons who go out from thee, whom thou begettest,  they take away, and they have been eunuchs in the palace of the  king of Babylon.' 
12O 020:019 And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of  Jehovah that thou hast spoken;' and he saith, `Is it not -- if  peace and truth are in my days?' 
12O 020:020 And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his  might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and bringeth  in the waters to the city, are they not written on the book of  the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
12O 020:021 And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and reign doth  Manasseh his son in his stead. 
12O 021:001 A son of twelve years [is] Manasseh in his reigning, and  fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name  of his mother [is] Hephzi-Bah; 
12O 021:002 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to the abominations of the nations that Jehovah  dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel, 
12O 021:003 and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah  his father destroyed, and raiseth altars for Baal, and maketh a  shrine, as did Ahab king of Israel, and boweth himself to all  the host of the heavens, and serveth them. 
12O 021:004 And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah, of which  Jehovah said, `In Jerusalem I put My name.' 
12O 021:005 And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in  the two courts of the house of Jehovah; 
12O 021:006 and he hath caused his son to pass through fire, and  observed clouds, and used enchantment, and dealt with a  familiar spirit and wizards; he hath multiplied to do the evil  thing in the eyes of Jehovah -- to provoke to anger. 
12O 021:007 And he setteth the graven image of the shrine that he made  in the house of which Jehovah said unto David and unto Solomon  his son, `In this house, and in Jerusalem, that I have chosen  out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name -- to the age; 
12O 021:008 and I do not add to cause the foot of Israel to move from  the ground that I gave to their fathers, only, if they observe  to do according to all that I commanded them, and to all the  law that My servant Moses commanded them.' 
12O 021:009 And they have not hearkened, and Manasseh causeth them to  err, to do the evil thing above the nations that Jehovah  destroyed from the presence of the sons of Israel. 
12O 021:010 And Jehovah speaketh by the hand of his servants the  prophets, saying, 
12O 021:011 `Because that Manasseh king of Judah hath done these  abominations -- he hath done evil above all that the Amorites  have done who [are] before him, and causeth also Judah to sin  by his idols; 
12O 021:012 therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Lo, I am  bringing in evil on Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever heareth  of it, tingle do his two ears. 
12O 021:013 And I have stretched out over Jerusalem the line of  Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and wiped  Jerusalem as one wipeth the dish -- he hath wiped, and hath  turned [it] on its face. 
12O 021:014 `And I have left the remnant of Mine inheritance, and  given them into the hand of their enemies, and they have been  for a prey and for a spoil to all their enemies, 
12O 021:015 because that they have done the evil thing in Mine eyes,  and are provoking Me to anger from the day that their fathers  came out of Egypt, even unto this day.' 
12O 021:016 And also, innocent blood hath Manasseh shed very much,  till that he hath filled Jerusalem -- mouth to mouth; apart  from his sin that he hath caused Judah to sin, to do the evil  thing in the eyes of Jehovah. 
12O 021:017 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and all that he  did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written on the  book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? 
12O 021:018 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the  garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza, and reign doth Amon  his son in his stead. 
12O 021:019 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning,  and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his  mother [is] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah, 
12O 021:020 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did  Manasseh his father, 
12O 021:021 and walketh in all the way that his father walked in, and  serveth the idols that his father served, and boweth himself to  them, 
12O 021:022 and forsaketh Jehovah, God of his fathers, and hath not  walked in the way of Jehovah. 
12O 021:023 And the servants of Amon conspire against him, and put the  king to death in his own house, 
12O 021:024 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring  against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his  son to reign in his stead. 
12O 021:025 And the rest of the matters of Amon that he did, are they  not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of  Judah? 
12O 021:026 and [one] burieth him in his burying-place in the garden  of Uzza, and reign doth Josiah his son in his stead. 
12O 022:001 A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and  thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name  of his mother [is] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Boskath, 
12O 022:002 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and  walketh in all the way of David his father, and hath not turned  aside -- right or left. 
12O 022:003 And it cometh to pass, in the eighteenth year of king  Josiah, the king hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, son of  Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of Jehovah, saying, 
12O 022:004 `Go up unto Hilkiah the high priest, and he doth complete  the silver that is brought into the house of Jehovah, that the  keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people, 
12O 022:005 and they give it into the hand of the doers of the work,  the overseers, in the house of Jehovah, and they give it to the  doers of the work that [is] in the house of Jehovah, to  strengthen the breach of the house, 
12O 022:006 to artificers, and to builders, and [to repairers of] the  wall, and to buy wood and hewn stones to strengthen the house; 
12O 022:007 only, the silver that is given into their hand is not  reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are dealing. 
12O 022:008 And Hilkiah the high priest saith unto Shaphan the scribe,  `A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and  Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, and he readeth it. 
12O 022:009 And Shaphan the scribe cometh in unto the king, and  bringeth the king back word, and saith, `Thy servants have  poured out the silver that hath been found in the house, and  give it into the hand of the doers of the work, the inspectors,  in the house of Jehovah.' 
12O 022:010 And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, `A  book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth  it before the king. 
12O 022:011 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of  the book of the law, that he rendeth his garments, 
12O 022:012 and the king commandeth Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son  of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe,  and Asahiah servant of the king, saying, 
12O 022:013 `Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for the people, and for all  Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found, for  great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is kindled against us,  because that our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of  this book, to do according to all that is written for us.' 
12O 022:014 And Hilkiah the priest goeth, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and  Shaphan, and Asahiah, unto Huldah the prophetess, wife of  Shallum, son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the garments,  and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the second, and they speak  unto her. 
12O 022:015 And she saith unto them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of  Israel, Say to the man who hath sent you unto me: 
12O 022:016 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil unto this  place and on its inhabitants, all the words of the book that  the king of Judah hath read, 
12O 022:017 because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to  other gods, so as to provoke Me to anger with every work of  their hands, and My wrath hath been kindled against this place,  and it is not quenched. 
12O 022:018 `And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to seek  Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him, Thus said Jehovah, God of  Israel, The words that thou hast heard -- 
12O 022:019 because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled  because of Jehovah, in thy hearing that which I have spoken  against this place, and against its inhabitants, to be for a  desolation, and for a reviling, and dost rend thy garments, and  weep before Me -- I also have heard -- the affirmation of  Jehovah -- 
12O 022:020 therefore, lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and  thou hast been gathered unto thy grave in peace, and thine eyes  do not look on any of the evil that I am bringing in on this  place;' and they bring the king back word. 
12O 023:001 And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the  elders of Judah and Jerusalem, 
12O 023:002 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every  man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him,  and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from  small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of  the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah. 
12O 023:003 And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the  covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His  commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the  heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this  covenant that are written on this book, and all the people  stand in the covenant. 
12O 023:004 And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the  priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold,  to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that  are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of  the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem,  in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El. 
12O 023:005 And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the  kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high  places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem,) and those  making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the  planets, and to all the host of the heavens. 
12O 023:006 And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to  the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it  at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth  its dust on the grave of the sons of the people. 
12O 023:007 And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that  [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving  houses for the shrine. 
12O 023:008 And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of  Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made  perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the  high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate  of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man's left hand at  the gate of the city; 
12O 023:009 only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the  altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened  things in the midst of their brethren. 
12O 023:010 And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of  the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his  daughter to pass over through fire to Molech. 
12O 023:011 And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah  have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of  Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is]  in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with  fire. 
12O 023:012 And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber  of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that  Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath  the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their  dust unto the brook Kidron. 
12O 023:013 And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem,  that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that  Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of  the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom  abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled. 
12O 023:014 And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and  cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of  men; 
12O 023:015 and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place  that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin,  both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and  doth burn the high place -- he hath beat it small to dust, and  hath burnt the shrine. 
12O 023:016 And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there  in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the  graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it,  according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God  proclaimed, who proclaimed these things. 
12O 023:017 And he saith, `What [is] this sign that I see?' and the  men of the city say unto him, `The grave of the man of God who  hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou  hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.' 
12O 023:018 And he saith, `Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;'  and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet  who came out of Samaria. 
12O 023:019 And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in  the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke  to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according  to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El. 
12O 023:020 And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who  [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon  them, and turneth back to Jerusalem. 
12O 023:021 And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying,  `Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on  this book of the covenant.' 
12O 023:022 Surely there hath not been made like this passover from  the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of  the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah; 
12O 023:023 but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this  passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem. 
12O 023:024 And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards,  and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that  were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah  put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are  written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the  house of Jehovah. 
12O 023:025 And like him there hath not been before him a king who  turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his  soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of  Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him. 
12O 023:026 Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of  His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah,  because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked  him, 
12O 023:027 and Jehovah saith, `Also Judah I turn aside from my  presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this  city that I have chosen -- Jerusalem, and the house of which I  said, My name is there.' 
12O 023:028 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he  did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the  kings of Judah? 
12O 023:029 In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up  against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah  goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo,  when he seeth him. 
12O 023:030 And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and  bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and  the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint  him, and cause him to reign instead of his father. 
12O 023:031 A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his  reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and  the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of  Libnah, 
12O 023:032 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that his fathers did, 
12O 023:033 and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of  Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on  the land -- a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold. 
12O 023:034 And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign  instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to  Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to  Egypt, and dieth there. 
12O 023:035 And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to  Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the  command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he  exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land,  to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh. 
12O 023:036 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his  reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and  the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of  Rumah, 
12O 023:037 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that his fathers did. 
12O 024:001 In his days hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up,  and Jehoiakim is to him a servant three years; and he turneth  and rebelleth against him, 
12O 024:002 and Jehovah sendeth against him the troops of the  Chaldeans, and the troops of Aram, and the troops of Moab, and  the troops of the sons of Ammon, and He sendeth them against  Judah to destroy it, according to the word of Jehovah, that He  spake by the hand of His servants the prophets; 
12O 024:003 only, by the command of Jehovah it hath been against Judah  to turn [them] aside from His presence, for the sins of  Manasseh, according to all that he did, 
12O 024:004 and also the innocent blood that he hath shed, and he  filleth Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah was not  willing to forgive. 
12O 024:005 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and all that he  did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the  kings of Judah? 
12O 024:006 And Jehoiakim lieth with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his  son reigneth in his stead. 
12O 024:007 And the king of Egypt hath not added any more to go out  from his own land, for the king of Babylon hath taken, from the  brook of Egypt unto the river Phrat, all that had been to the  king of Egypt. 
12O 024:008 A son of eighteen years [is] Jehoiachin in his reigning,  and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of  his mother [is] Nehushta, daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem, 
12O 024:009 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that his fathers did. 
12O 024:010 At that time come up have servants of Nebuchadnezzar king  of Babylon to Jerusalem, and the city goeth into siege, 
12O 024:011 and Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon cometh against the  city, and his servants are laying siege to it, 
12O 024:012 and Jehoiachin king of Judah goeth out unto the king of  Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his chiefs,  and his eunuchs, and the king of Babylon taketh him in the  eighth year of his reign, 
12O 024:013 and bringeth out thence all the treasures of the house of  Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and  cutteth in pieces all the vessels of gold that Solomon king of  Israel made in the temple of Jehovah, as Jehovah had spoken. 
12O 024:014 And he hath removed all Jerusalem, and all the chiefs, and  all the mighty ones of valour -- ten thousand [is] the removal  -- and every artificer and smith, none hath been left save the  poor of the people of the land. 
12O 024:015 And he removeth Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the mother of  the king, and the wives of the king, and his eunuchs, and the  mighty ones of the land -- he hath caused a removal to go from  Jerusalem to Babylon, 
12O 024:016 and all the men of valour seven thousand, and the  artificers and the smiths a thousand, the whole [are] mighty  men, warriors; and the king of Babylon bringeth them in a  captivity to Babylon. 
12O 024:017 And the king of Babylon causeth Mattaniah his father's  brother to reign in his stead, and turneth his name to  Zedekiah. 
12O 024:018 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his  reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and  the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of  Libnah, 
12O 024:019 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah  according to all that Jehoiakim did, 
12O 024:020 for, by the anger of Jehovah it hath been against  Jerusalem and against Judah, till he cast them out from His  presence, that Zedekiah rebelleth against the king of Babylon. 
12O 025:001 And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in  the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, he and all his force, against  Jerusalem, and encampeth against it, and buildeth against it a  fortification round about. 
12O 025:002 And the city entereth into siege till the eleventh year of  king Zedekiah, 
12O 025:003 on the ninth of the month -- when the famine is severe in  the city, and there hath not been bread for the people of the  land, 
12O 025:004 then the city is broken up, and all the men of war [go] by  night the way of the gate, between the two walls that [are] by  the garden of the king, and the Chaldeans [are] against the  city round about, and [the king] goeth the way of the plain. 
12O 025:005 And the force of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and  overtake him in the plains of Jericho, and all his force have  been scattered from him; 
12O 025:006 and they seize the king, and bring him up unto the king of  Babylon, to Riblah, and they speak with him -- judgment.

13O 010:003 And the battle [is] heavy on Saul, and those shooting with  the bow find him, and he is wounded by those shooting, 
13O 010:004 and Saul saith unto the bearer of his weapons, `Draw thy  sword, and pierce me with it, lest these uncircumcised come --  and have abused me.' And the bearer of his weapons hath not  been willing, for he feareth exceedingly, and Saul taketh the  sword, and falleth upon it; 
13O 010:005 and the bearer of his weapons seeth that Saul [is] dead,  and falleth, he also, on the sword, and dieth; 
13O 010:006 and Saul dieth, and his three sons, and all his house --  together they died. 
13O 010:007 And all the men of Israel who [are] in the valley see that  they have fled, and that Saul and his sons have died, and they  forsake their cities and flee, and the Philistines come and  dwell in them. 
13O 010:008 And it cometh to pass, on the morrow, that the Philistines  come to strip the wounded, and find Saul and his sons fallen in  mount Gilboa, 
13O 010:009 and strip him, and bear away his head, and his weapons, and  send into the land of the Philistines round about to proclaim  tidings [to] their idols and the people, 
13O 010:010 and put his weapons in the house of their gods, and his  skull they have fixed in the house of Dagon. 
13O 010:011 And all Jabesh-Gilead hear of all that the Philistines  have done to Saul, 
13O 010:012 and all the men of valour rise and bear away the body of  Saul, and the bodies of his sons, and bring them in to Jabesh,  and bury their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fast seven  days. 
13O 010:013 And Saul dieth because of his trespass that he trespassed  against Jehovah, against the word of Jehovah that he kept not,  and also for asking at a familiar spirit -- to inquire, -- 
13O 010:014 and he inquired not at Jehovah, and He putteth him to  death, and turneth round the kingdom to David son of Jesse. 
13O 011:001 And gathered are all Israel unto David to Hebron, saying,  `Lo, thy bone and thy flesh [are] we; 
13O 011:002 even in time past, even in Saul's being king, it is thou  who art taking out and bringing in Israel, and Jehovah thy God  saith to thee: Thou dost feed My people Israel, and thou art  leader over My people Israel.' 
13O 011:003 And all the elders of Israel come in unto the king to  Hebron, and David maketh with them a covenant in Hebron before  Jehovah, and they anoint David for king over Israel, according  to the word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel. 
13O 011:004 And David goeth, and all Israel, to Jerusalem -- it [is]  Jebus -- and there the Jebusite, the inhabitants of the land. 
13O 011:005 And the inhabitants of Jebus say to David, `Thou dost not  come in hither;' and David captureth the fortress of Zion -- it  [is] the city of David. 
13O 011:006 And David saith, `Whoever smiteth the Jebusite first doth  become head and prince;' and go up first doth Joab son of  Zeruiah and becometh head. 
13O 011:007 And David dwelleth in the fortress, therefore they have  called it, `City of David;' 
13O 011:008 and he buildeth the city round about, from Millo, and unto  the circumference, and Joab restoreth the rest of the city. 
13O 011:009 And David goeth, going on and becoming great, and Jehovah  of Hosts [is] with him. 
13O 011:010 And these [are] heads of the mighty ones whom David hath,  who are strengthening themselves with him in his kingdom, with  all Israel, to cause him to reign, according to the word of  Jehovah, over Israel. 
13O 011:011 And this [is] an account of the mighty ones whom David  hath: Jashobeam son of a Hachmonite [is] head of the thirty; he  is lifting up his spear against three hundred -- wounded, at  one time. 
13O 011:012 And after him [is] Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, he  [is] among the three mighty; 
13O 011:013 he hath been with David in Pas-Dammim, and the Philistines  have been gathered there to battle, and a portion of the field  is full of barley, and the people have fled from the face of  the Philistines, 
13O 011:014 and they station themselves in the midst of the portion,  and deliver it, and smite the Philistines, and Jehovah saveth  -- a great salvation. 
13O 011:015 And three of the thirty heads go down on the rock unto  David, unto the cave of Adullam, and the host of the  Philistines is encamping in the valley of Rephaim, 
13O 011:016 and David [is] then in the fortress, and the station of  the Philistines [is] then in Beth-Lehem, 
13O 011:017 and David longeth, and saith, `Who doth give me to drink  water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the gate!' 
13O 011:018 And the three break through the camp of the Philistines,  and draw water from the well of Beth-Lehem, that [is] at the  gate, and bear and bring in unto David, and David hath not been  willing to drink it, and poureth it out to Jehovah, 
13O 011:019 and saith, `Far be it from me, by my God, to do this; the  blood of these men do I drink with their lives? for with their  lives they have brought it;' and he was not willing to drink  it; these [things] did the three mighty ones. 
13O 011:020 And Abishai brother of Joab, he hath been head of the  three: and he is lifting up his spear against three hundred --  wounded, and hath a name among three. 
13O 011:021 Of the three by the two he is honoured, and becometh their  head; and unto the [first] three he hath not come. 
13O 011:022 Benaiah son of Jehoiada, son of a man of valour, of great  deeds, from Kabzeel: he hath smitten the two lion-like  Moabites, and he hath gone down and smitten the lion in the  midst of the pit, in the day of snow. 
13O 011:023 And he hath smitten the man, the Egyptian -- a man of  measure, five by the cubit -- and in the hand of the Egyptian  [is] a spear like a beam of weavers, and he goeth down unto him  with a rod, and taketh violently away the spear out of the hand  of the Egyptian, and slayeth him with his own spear. 
13O 011:024 These [things] hath Benaiah son of Jehoiada done, and hath  a name among the three mighty ones. 
13O 011:025 Of the thirty, lo, he [is] honoured, and unto the [first]  three he hath not come, and David setteth him over his guard. 
13O 011:026 And the mighty ones of the forces [are] Asahel brother of  Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Beth-Lehem,

13O 012:001 And these [are] those coming in unto David to Ziklag, while  shut up because of Saul son of Kish, and they [are] among the  mighty ones, helping the battle, 
13O 012:002 armed with bow, right and left handed, with stones, and  with arrows, with bows, of the brethren of Saul, of Benjamin. 
13O 012:003 The head [is] Ahiezer, and Joash, sons of Shemaab the  Gibeathite, and Jeziel, and Pelet, sons of Azmaveth, and  Berachah, and Jehu the Antothite, 
13O 012:004 and Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty one among the thirty,  and over the thirty, and Jeremiah, and Jahaziel, and Johanan,  and Josabad the Gederathite.

13O 012:008 And of the Gadite there have been separated unto David, to  the fortress, to the wilderness, mighty of valour, men of the  host for battle, setting in array target and buckler, and their  faces the face of the lion, and as roes on the mountains for  speed: 
13O 012:009 Ezer the head, Obadiah the second, Eliab the third, 
13O 012:010 Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth, 
13O 012:011 Attai the sixth, Eliel the seventh,

13O 012:013 Jeremiah the tenth, Machbannai the eleventh. 
13O 012:014 These [are] of the sons of Gad, heads of the host, one of  a hundred [is] the least, and the greatest, of a thousand; 
13O 012:015 these [are] they who have passed over the Jordan in the  first month, -- and it is full over all its banks -- and cause  all [they of] the valley to flee to the east and to the west. 
13O 012:016 And there come of the sons of Benjamin and Judah unto the  stronghold to David, 
13O 012:017 and David goeth out before them, and answereth and saith  to them, `If for peace ye have come in unto me, to help me, I  have a heart to unite with you; and if to betray me to mine  adversaries -- without violence in my hands -- the God of our  fathers doth see and reprove.' 
13O 012:018 And the Spirit hath clothed Amasai, head of the captains:  `To thee, O David, and with thee, O son of Jesse -- peace!  peace to thee, and peace to thy helper, for thy God hath helped  thee;' and David receiveth them, and putteth them among the  heads of the troop. 
13O 012:019 And of Manasseh there have fallen unto David in his coming  with the Philistines against Israel to battle -- and they  helped them not, for by counsel the princes of the Philistines  sent him away, saying, `With our heads he doth fall unto his  master Saul.' -- 
13O 012:020 In his going unto Ziglag there have fallen unto him of  Manasseh, Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and  Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zillthai, heads of the thousands that  [are] of Manasseh; 
13O 012:021 and they have helped with David over the troop, for mighty  of valour [are] all of them, and they are captains in the host, 
13O 012:022 for at that time, day by day, they come in unto David to  help him, till it is a great camp, like a camp of God. 
13O 012:023 And these [are] the numbers of the head, of the armed men  of the host; they have come in unto David to Hebron to turn  round the kingdom of Saul unto him, according to the mouth of  Jehovah. 
13O 012:024 The sons of Judah, bearing target and spear, [are] six  thousand and eight hundred, armed ones of the host.

13O 012:026 Of the sons of Levi [are] four thousand and six hundred; 
13O 012:027 and Jehoiada [is] the leader of the Aaronite, and with him  [are] three thousand and seven hundred, 
13O 012:028 and Zadok, a young man, mighty of valour, and of the house  of his father [are] twenty and two heads.

13O 012:030 And of the sons of Ephraim [are] twenty thousand and eight  hundred, mighty of valour, men of name, according to the house  of their fathers. 
13O 012:031 And of the half of the tribe of Manasseh [are] eighteen  thousand, who have been defined by name, to come in to cause  David to reign. 
13O 012:032 And of the sons of Issachar, having understanding for the  times, to know what Israel should do; their heads [are] two  hundred, and all their brethren [are] at their command. 
13O 012:033 Of Zebulun, going forth to the host, arranging battle with  all instruments of battle, [are] fifty thousand, and keeping  rank without a double heart. 
13O 012:034 And of Naphtali, a thousand heads, and with them, with  target and spear, [are] thirty and seven thousand. 
13O 012:035 And of the Danite, arranging battle, [are] twenty and  eight thousand and six hundred. 
13O 012:036 And of Asher, going forth to the host, to arrange battle,  [are] forty thousand. 
13O 012:037 And from beyond the Jordan, of the Reubenite, and of the  Gadite, and of the half of the tribe of Manasseh, with all  instruments of the host for battle, [are] a hundred and twenty  thousand. 
13O 012:038 All these [are] men of war, keeping rank -- with a perfect  heart they have come to Hebron, to cause David to reign over  all Israel, and also all the rest of Israel [are] of one heart,  to cause David to reign, 
13O 012:039 and they are there, with David, three days, eating and  drinking, for their brethren have prepared for them. 
13O 012:040 And also those near unto them, unto Issachar, and Zebulun,  and Naphtali, are bringing in bread on asses, and on camels,  and on mules, and on oxen -- food of fine flour, fig-cakes and  grape-cakes, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep, in  abundance, for joy [is] in Israel. 
13O 013:001 And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and  of the hundreds, every leader, 
13O 013:002 and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, `If unto you  it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth -- we  send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel,  and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of  their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us, 
13O 013:003 and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we  sought Him not in the days of Saul.' 
13O 013:004 And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right  in the eyes of all the people. 
13O 013:005 And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even  unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from  Kirjath-Jearim, 
13O 013:006 and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto  Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark  of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is  called on. 
13O 013:007 And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house  of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart, 
13O 013:008 and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all  strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries,  and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 
13O 013:009 And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and  Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were  released, 
13O 013:010 and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He  smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the  ark, and he dieth there before God. 
13O 013:011 And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made  a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place `Breach of Uzza'  unto this day. 
13O 013:012 And David feareth God on that day, saying, `How do I bring  in unto me the ark of God?' 
13O 013:013 And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto  the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of  Obed-Edom the Gittite. 
13O 013:014 And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of  Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the  house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath. 
13O 014:001 And Huram king of Tyre sendeth messengers unto David, and  cedar-wood, and artificers of walls, and artificers of wood, to  build to him a house. 
13O 014:002 And David knoweth that Jehovah hath established him for  king over Israel, because of the lifting up on high of his  kingdom, for the sake of His people Israel. 
13O 014:003 And David taketh again wives in Jerusalem, and David  begetteth again sons and daughters; 
13O 014:004 and these [are] the names of the children whom he hath in  Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, 
13O 014:005 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, 
13O 014:006 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, 
13O 014:007 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet. 
13O 014:008 And the Philistines hear that David hath been anointed for  king over all Israel, and all the Philistines go up to seek  David, and David heareth, and goeth out before them. 
13O 014:009 And the Philistines have come, and rush into the valley of  Rephaim, 
13O 014:010 and David asketh of God, saying, `Do I go up against the  Philistines -- and hast Thou given them into my hand?' And  Jehovah saith to him, `Go up, and I have given them into thy  hand.' 
13O 014:011 And they go up into Baal-Perazim, and David smiteth them  there, and David saith, `God hath broken up mine enemies by my  hand, like the breaking up of waters;' therefore they have  called the name of that place Baal-Perazim. 
13O 014:012 And they leave there their gods, and David speaketh, and  they are burnt with fire. 
13O 014:013 And the Philistines add again, and rush into the valley, 
13O 014:014 and David asketh again of God, and God saith to him, `Do  not go up after them, turn round from them, and thou hast come  to them from over-against the mulberries; 
13O 014:015 and it cometh to pass, when thou hearest the sound of the  stepping at the heads of the mulberries, then thou goest out  into battle, for God hath gone out before thee to smite the  camp of the Philistines.' 
13O 014:016 And David doth as God commanded him, and they smite the  camp of the Philistines from Gibeon even unto Gazer; 
13O 014:017 and the name of David goeth out into all the lands, and  Jehovah hath put his fear on all the nations. 
13O 015:001 And he maketh for himself houses in the city of David, and  prepareth a place for the ark of God, and stretcheth out for it  a tent. 
13O 015:002 Then said David, `None [are] to carry the ark of God,  except the Levites, for on them hath Jehovah fixed to carry the  ark of God, and to serve Him -- unto the age.' 
13O 015:003 And David assembleth all Israel unto Jerusalem, to bring  up the ark of Jehovah unto its place that he had prepared for  it. 
13O 015:004 And David gathereth the sons of Aaron, and the Levites. 
13O 015:005 Of sons of Kohath: Uriel the chief, and his brethren, a  hundred and twenty. 
13O 015:006 Of sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brethren, two  hundred and twenty. 
13O 015:007 Of sons of Gershom: Joel the chief, and his brethren, a  hundred and thirty. 
13O 015:008 Of sons of Elizaphan: Shemaiah the chief, and his brethren,  two hundred. 
13O 015:009 Of sons of Hebron: Eliel the chief, and his brethren,  eighty. 
13O 015:010 Of sons of Uzziel: Amminadab the chief, and his brethren,  a hundred and twelve. 
13O 015:011 And David calleth to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests,  and to the Levites, to Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and  Eliel, and Amminadab, 
13O 015:012 and saith to them, `Ye [are] heads of the fathers of the  Levites; sanctify yourselves, ye and your brethren, and ye have  brought up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel, unto [the place]  I have prepared for it; 
13O 015:013 because at the first [it was] not ye, Jehovah our God made  a breach upon us, because we sought Him not according to the  ordinance.' 
13O 015:014 And the priests and the Levites sanctify themselves, to  bring up the ark of Jehovah, God of Israel; 
13O 015:015 and sons of the Levites bear the ark of God, as Moses  commanded, according to the word of Jehovah, on their shoulder,  with staves, above them. 
13O 015:016 And David saith to the heads of the Levites to appoint  their brethren the singers, with instruments of song,  psalteries, and harps, and cymbals, sounding, to lift up with  the voice for joy. 
13O 015:017 And the Levites appoint Heman son of Joel, and of his  brethren, Asaph son of Berechiah, and of the sons of Merari  their brethren, Ethan son of Kushaiah; 
13O 015:018 and with them their brethren, the seconds [in 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  gatekeepers; 
13O 015:019 and the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, with cymbals of  brass to sound, 
13O 015:020 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jeheil, and  Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries  besides virgins, 
13O 015:021 and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and  Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps, on the octave,  to oversee. 
13O 015:022 And Chenaniah, head of the Levites, [is] over the burden;  he instructeth about the burden, for he [is] intelligent. 
13O 015:023 And Berechiah and Elkanah [are] gatekeepers for the ark. 
13O 015:024 And Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amasai,  and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests, are  blowing with trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and  Jehiah [are] gatekeepers for the ark. 
13O 015:025 And it is David, and the elders of Israel, and the heads  of the thousands, who are going to bring up the ark of the  covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy; 
13O 015:026 and it cometh to pass, in God's helping the Levites  bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, that they sacrifice  seven bullocks and seven rams. 
13O 015:027 And David is wrapped in an upper robe of fine linen, and  all the Levites who are bearing the ark, and the singers, and  Chenaniah head of the burden of the singers; and on David [is]  an Ephod of linen. 
13O 015:028 And all Israel are bringing up the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of a cornet, and with  trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding with psalteries and harps, 
13O 015:029 and it cometh to pass, the ark of the covenant of Jehovah  is entering in unto the city of David, and Michal daughter of  Saul is looking through the window, and seeth king David  dancing and playing, and despiseth him in her heart. 
13O 016:001 And they bring in the ark of God, and set it up in the  midst of the tent that David hath stretched out for it, and  they bring near burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God; 
13O 016:002 and David ceaseth from offering the burnt-offering and the  peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of  Jehovah, 
13O 016:003 and giveth a portion to every man of Israel, both man and  woman: to each a cake of bread, and a measure of wine, and a  grape-cake. 
13O 016:004 And he putteth before the ark of Jehovah, of the Levites,  ministers, even to make mention of, and to thank, and to give  praise to Jehovah, God of Israel, 
13O 016:005 Asaph the head, and his second Zechariah; Jeiel, and  Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and  Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with instruments of  psalteries, and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals is sounding; 
13O 016:006 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests [are] with trumpets  continually before the ark of the covenant of God. 
13O 016:007 On that day then hath David given at the beginning to give  thanks to Jehovah by the hand of Asaph and his brethren: -- 
13O 016:008 Give thanks to Jehovah, call in His name, Make known among  the peoples His doings. 
13O 016:009 Sing ye to Him, sing psalms to Him, Meditate on all His  wonders. 
13O 016:010 Boast yourselves in His holy name, Rejoice doth the heart  of those seeking Jehovah. 
13O 016:011 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek His face  continually. 
13O 016:012 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs, and the  judgments of His mouth, 
13O 016:013 O seed of Israel, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen  ones! 
13O 016:014 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His  judgments. 
13O 016:015 Remember ye to the age His covenant, The word He commanded  -- To a thousand generations, 
13O 016:016 Which He hath made with Abraham, And His oath -- to Isaac, 
13O 016:017 And He establisheth it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel  -- a covenant age-during. 
13O 016:018 Saying: To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of  your inheritance, 
13O 016:019 When ye are few of number, As a little thing, and  sojourners in it. 
13O 016:020 And they go up and down, From nation unto nation, And from  a kingdom unto another people. 
13O 016:021 He hath not suffered any to oppress them, And reproveth on  their account kings: 
13O 016:022 Come not against Mine anointed ones, And against My  prophets do not evil. 
13O 016:023 Sing to Jehovah, all the earth, Proclaim from day unto day  His salvation. 
13O 016:024 Rehearse among nations His glory, Among all the peoples  His wonders. 
13O 016:025 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And fearful  He [is] above all gods. 
13O 016:026 For all gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah the  heavens hath made. 
13O 016:027 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and joy  [are] in His place. 
13O 016:028 Ascribe to Jehovah, ye families of peoples, Ascribe to  Jehovah honour and strength. 
13O 016:029 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a  present, and come before Him. Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the  beauty of holiness. 
13O 016:030 Be pained before Him, all the earth: 
13O 016:031 Also, established is the world, It is not moved! The  heavens rejoice, and the earth is glad, And they say among  nations: Jehovah hath reigned. 
13O 016:032 Roar doth the sea, and its fulness, Exult doth the field,  and all that [is] in it, 
13O 016:033 Then sing do trees of the forest, From the presence of  Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth! 
13O 016:034 Give thanks to Jehovah, for good, For to the age, [is] His  kindness, 
13O 016:035 And say, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us,  and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy  name, To triumph in Thy praise. 
13O 016:036 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age and unto  the age;' And all the people say, `Amen,' and have given praise  to Jehovah. 
13O 016:037 And he leaveth there before the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah, for Asaph and for his brethren, to minister before the  ark continually, according to the matter of a day in its day, 
13O 016:038 both Obed-Edom and their brethren, sixty and eight, and  Obed-Edom son of Jeduthun, and Hosah for gatekeepers, 
13O 016:039 and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before  the tabernacle of Jehovah, in a high place that [is] in Gibeon, 
13O 016:040 to cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah, on the  altar of burnt-offering continually, morning and evening, and  for all that is written in the law of Jehovah, that He charged  on Israel. 
13O 016:041 And with them [are] Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest of  those chosen, who were defined by name, to give thanks to  Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness, 
13O 016:042 and with them -- Heman and Jeduthun -- [are] trumpets and  cymbals for those sounding, and instruments of the song of God,  and the sons of Jeduthun [are] at the gate. 
13O 016:043 And all the people go, each to his house, and David  turneth round to bless his house. 
13O 017:001 And it cometh to pass as David sat in his house, that David  saith unto Nathan the prophet, `Lo, I am dwelling in a house of  cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah [is] under  curtains;' 
13O 017:002 and Nathan saith unto David, `All that [is] in thy heart  do, for God [is] with thee.' 
13O 017:003 And it cometh to pass on that night that a word of God is  unto Nathan, saying, 
13O 017:004 `Go, and thou hast said unto David My servant, Thus said  Jehovah, Thou dost not build for Me the house to dwell in: 
13O 017:005 for I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought  up Israel till this day, and I am from tent unto tent: and from  the tabernacle, 
13O 017:006 whithersoever I have walked up and down among all Israel, a  word spake I, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded  to feed My people, saying, Why have ye not built for Me a house  of cedars? 
13O 017:007 `And now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David, Thus  said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the habitation,  from after the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel, 
13O 017:008 and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and I  cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for  thee a name like the name of the great ones who [are] in the  earth. 
13O 017:009 `And I have prepared a place for My people Israel, and  planted it, and it hath dwelt in its place, and is not troubled  any more, and the sons of perverseness add not to wear it out as  at first, 
13O 017:010 yea, even from the days that I appointed judges over My  people Israel. `And I have humbled all thine enemies, and I  declare to thee that a house doth Jehovah build for thee, 
13O 017:011 and it hath come to pass, when thy days have been  fulfilled to go with thy fathers, that I have raised up thy  seed after thee, who is of thy sons, and I have established his  kingdom, 
13O 017:012 he doth build for Me a house, and I have established his  throne unto the age; 
13O 017:013 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son, and  My kindness I turn not aside from him as I turned it aside from  him who was before thee, 
13O 017:014 and I have established him in My house, and in My kingdom  unto the age, and his throne is established unto the age.' 
13O 017:015 According to all these words, and according to all this  vision, so spake Nathan unto David. 
13O 017:016 And David the king cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah,  and saith, `Who [am] I, O Jehovah God, and what my house, that  Thou hast brought me hitherto? 
13O 017:017 And this is small in Thine eyes, O God, and Thou speakest  concerning the house of thy servant afar off, and hast seen me  as a type of the man who is on high, O Jehovah God! 
13O 017:018 `What doth David add more unto Thee for the honour of Thy  servant; and Thou Thy servant hast known. 
13O 017:019 O Jehovah, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine  own heart Thou hast done all this greatness, to make known all  these great things. 
13O 017:020 O Jehovah, there is none like Thee, and there is no god  save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 
13O 017:021 `And who [is] as Thy people Israel, one nation in the  earth whom God hath gone to ransom to Him for a people, to make  for Thee a name great and fearful, to cast out from the  presence of Thy people whom Thou hast ransomed out of Egypt --  nations? 
13O 017:022 Yea, Thou dost appoint Thy people Israel to Thee for a  people unto the age, and Thou, O Jehovah, hast been to them for  God. 
13O 017:023 `And now, O Jehovah, the word that Thou hast spoken  concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, let be  stedfast unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken; 
13O 017:024 and let it be stedfast, and Thy name is great unto the  age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, is God to Israel,  and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee; 
13O 017:025 for Thou, O my God, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy  servant -- to build to him a house, therefore hath Thy servant  found to pray before Thee. 
13O 017:026 `And now, Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thou  speakest concerning Thy servant this goodness; 
13O 017:027 and now, Thou hast been pleased to bless the house of Thy  servant, to be to the age before Thee; for Thou, O Jehovah,  hast blessed, and it is blessed to the age.' 
13O 018:001 And it cometh to pass after this, that David smiteth the  Philistines, and humbleth them, and taketh Gath and its small  towns out of the hand of the Philistines; 
13O 018:002 and he smiteth Moab, and the Moabites are servants to  David, bringing a present. 
13O 018:003 And David smiteth Hadarezer king of Zobah, at Hamath, in  his going to establish his power by the river Phrat, 
13O 018:004 and David captureth from him a thousand chariots, and seven  thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen, and David  destroyeth utterly all the chariots, and leaveth of them a  hundred chariots [only]. 
13O 018:005 And Aram of Damascus cometh in to give help to Hadarezer  king of Zobah, and David smiteth in Aram twenty and two  thousand men, 
13O 018:006 and David putteth [garrisons] in Aram of Damascus, and the  Aramaeans are to David for servants, bearing a present, and  Jehovah giveth salvation to David whithersoever he hath gone. 
13O 018:007 And David taketh the shields of gold that have been on the  servants of Hadarezer, and bringeth them in to Jerusalem; 
13O 018:008 and from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, hath  David taken very much brass; with it hath Solomon made the  brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 
13O 018:009 And Tou king of Hamath heareth that David hath smitten the  whole force of Hadarezer king of Zobah, 
13O 018:010 and he sendeth Hadoram his son unto king David, to ask of  him of peace, and to bless him (because that he hath fought  against Hadarezer, and smiteth him, for a man of wars with Tou  had Hadarezer been,) and all kinds of vessels, of gold, and  silver, and brass; 
13O 018:011 also them hath king David sanctified to Jehovah with the  silver and the gold that he hath taken from all the nations,  from Edom, and from Moab, and from the sons of Ammon, and from  the Philistines, and from Amalek. 
13O 018:012 And Abishai son of Zeruiah hath smitten Edom in the valley  of salt -- eighteen thousand, 
13O 018:013 and he putteth in Edom garrisons, and all the Edomites are  servants to David; and Jehovah saveth David whithersoever he  hath gone. 
13O 018:014 And David reigneth over all Israel, and he is doing  judgment and righteousness to all his people, 
13O 018:015 and Joab son of Zeruiah [is] over the host, and  Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] remembrancer, 
13O 018:016 and Zadok son of Ahitub, and Abimelech son of Abiathar,  [are] priests, and Shavsha [is] scribe, 
13O 018:017 and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite and  the Pelethite, and the elder sons of David [are] at the hand of  the king. 
13O 019:001 And it cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of the  sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth in his stead, 
13O 019:002 and David saith, `I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash,  for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth  messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the  servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon,  unto Hanun, to comfort him, 
13O 019:003 and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, `Is David  honouring thy father, in thine eyes, because he hath sent to  thee comforters? in order to search, and to overthrow, and to  spy out, the land, have not his servants come in unto thee?' 
13O 019:004 And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth them,  and cutteth their long robes in the midst, unto the buttocks,  and sendeth them away. 
13O 019:005 And [some] go, and declare to David concerning the men, and  he sendeth to meet them -- for the men have been greatly  ashamed -- and the king saith, `Dwell in Jericho till that your  beard is grown, then ye have returned.' 
13O 019:006 And the sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves  abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a  thousand talents of silver, to hire to them, from Aram-Naharaim,  and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen; 
13O 019:007 and they hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and  the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp  before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of  their cities, and come in to the battle. 
13O 019:008 And David heareth, and sendeth Joab, and all the host of  the mighty men, 
13O 019:009 and the sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at  the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] by  themselves in the field. 
13O 019:010 And Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto  him, before and behind, and he chooseth out of all the choice  in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram, 
13O 019:011 and the remnant of the people he hath given into the hand  of Abishai his brother, and they set in array to meet the sons  of Ammon. 
13O 019:012 And he saith, `If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast  been to me for salvation; and if the sons of Ammon be stronger  than thou, then I have saved thee; 
13O 019:013 be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people,  and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is  good in His eyes.' 
13O 019:014 And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him,  before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face; 
13O 019:015 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and  they flee -- they also -- from the face of Abishai his brother,  and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in to Jerusalem. 
13O 019:016 And Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel,  and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the  River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] before  them. 
13O 019:017 And it is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel,  and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and  setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the  battle to meet Aram, and they fight with him; 
13O 019:018 and Aram fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth  of Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand  footmen, and Shophach head of the host he hath put to death. 
13O 019:019 And the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been  smitten before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve  him, and Aram hath not been willing to help the sons of Ammon  any more. 
13O 020:001 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year  -- at the time of the going out of the messengers -- that Joab  leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of  the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah -- David  is abiding in Jerusalem -- and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and  breaketh it down. 
13O 020:002 And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head,  and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a  precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of  the city he hath brought out very much, 
13O 020:003 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and  setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to  axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon,  and David turneth back, and all the people, to Jerusalem. 
13O 020:004 And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war  in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the  Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and  they are humbled. 
13O 020:005 And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan  son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the  wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers. 
13O 020:006 And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of  measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty  and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant. 
13O 020:007 And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son  of Shimea, brother of David. 
13O 020:008 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the  hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. 
13O 021:001 And there standeth up an adversary against Israel, and  persuadeth David to number Israel, 
13O 021:002 And David saith unto Joab, and unto the heads of the  people, `Go, number Israel from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, and  bring unto me, and I know their number.' 
13O 021:003 And Joab saith, `Jehovah doth add to His people as they are  a hundred times; are they not, my lord, O king, all of them to  my lord for servants? why doth my lord seek this? why is he for  a cause of guilt to Israel?' 
13O 021:004 And the word of the king [is] severe against Joab, and Joab  goeth out, and goeth up and down in all Israel, and cometh in  to Jerusalem. 
13O 021:005 And Joab giveth the account of the numbering of the people  unto David, and all Israel is a thousand thousand and a hundred  thousand, each drawing sword, and Judah [is] four hundred and  seventy thousand, each drawing sword. 
13O 021:006 And Levi and Benjamin he hath not numbered in their midst,  for the word of the king was abominable with Joab. 
13O 021:007 And it is evil in the eyes of God concerning this thing,  and He smiteth Israel, 
13O 021:008 and David saith unto God, `I have sinned exceedingly, in  that I have done this thing; and now, cause to pass away, I  pray Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant, for I have acted very  foolishly.' 
13O 021:009 And Jehovah speaketh unto Gad, seer of David, saying: 
13O 021:010 `Go, and thou hast spoken unto David, saying, Thus said  Jehovah, Three -- I am stretching out unto thee; choose for  thee one of these, and I do [it] to thee.' 
13O 021:011 And Gad cometh in unto David, and saith to him, `Thus said  Jehovah, Take for thee -- 
13O 021:012 either for three years -- famine, or three months to be  consumed from the face of thine adversaries, even the sword of  thine enemies to overtake, or three days the sword of Jehovah,  even pestilence in the land, and a messenger of Jehovah  destroying in all the border of Israel; and now, see; what word  do I return to Him who is sending me?' 
13O 021:013 And David saith unto Gad, `I am greatly distressed, let me  fall, I pray thee, into the hand of Jehovah, for very many  [are] His mercies, and into the hand of man let me not fall.' 
13O 021:014 And Jehovah giveth a pestilence in Israel, and there fall  of Israel seventy thousand men, 
13O 021:015 and God sendeth a messenger to Jerusalem to destroy it,  and as he is destroying Jehovah hath seen, and is comforted  concerning the evil, and saith to the messenger who [is]  destroying, `Enough, now, cease thy hand.' And the messenger of  Jehovah is standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the  Jebusite, 
13O 021:016 and David lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the messenger of  Jehovah standing between the earth and the heavens, and his  sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem, and  David falleth, and the elders, covered with sackcloth, on their  faces. 
13O 021:017 And David saith unto God, `Did not I -- I say to number  the people? Yea, I it [is] who have sinned, and done great  evil: and these, the flock, what did they? O Jehovah, my God,  let, I pray Thee, Thy hand be on me, and on the house of my  father, and not on Thy people -- to be plagued.' 
13O 021:018 And the messenger of Jehovah spake unto Gad, saying for  David, `Surely David doth go up to raise an altar to Jehovah in  the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.' 
13O 021:019 And David goeth up by the word of Gad, that he spake in  the name of Jehovah. 
13O 021:020 And Ornan turneth back, and seeth the messenger, and his  four sons [are] with him, hiding themselves, and Ornan is  threshing wheat. 
13O 021:021 And David cometh in unto Ornan, and Ornan looketh  attentively, and seeth David, and goeth out from the  threshing-floor, and boweth himself to David -- face to the  earth. 
13O 021:022 And David saith unto Ornan, `Give to me the place of the  threshing-floor, and I build in it an altar to Jehovah; for  full silver give it to me, and the plague is restrained from  the people.' 
13O 021:023 And Ornan saith unto David, `Take to thee -- and my lord  the king doth that which is good in his eyes: see, I have given  the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing instruments for  wood, and the wheat for a present; the whole I have given.' 
13O 021:024 And king David saith to Ornan, `Nay, for I surely buy for  full silver; for I do not lift up that which is thine to  Jehovah, so as to offer a burnt-offering without cost.' 
13O 021:025 And David giveth to Ornan for the place shekels of gold  [in] weight six hundred; 
13O 021:026 and David buildeth there an altar to Jehovah, and offereth  burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and calleth unto Jehovah,  and He answereth him with fire from the heavens on the altar of  the burnt-offering. 
13O 021:027 And Jehovah saith to the messenger, and he turneth back  his sword unto its sheath. 
13O 021:028 At that time when David seeth that Jehovah hath answered  him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he  sacrificeth there; 
13O 021:029 and the tabernacle of Jehovah that Moses made in the  wilderness, and the altar of the burnt-offering, [are] at that  time in a high place, in Gibeon; 
13O 021:030 and David is not able to go before it to seek God, for he  hath been afraid because of the sword of the messenger of  Jehovah. 
13O 022:001 And David saith, `This is the house of Jehovah God, and  this the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.' 
13O 022:002 And David saith to gather the sojourners who [are] in the  land of Israel, and appointeth hewers to hew hewn-stones to  build a house of God. 
13O 022:003 And iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates,  and for couplings, hath David prepared, and brass in abundance  -- there is no weighing. 
13O 022:004 And cedar-trees even without number, for the Zidonians and  the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David. 
13O 022:005 And David saith, `Solomon my son [is] a youth and tender,  and the house to be built to Jehovah [is] to be made  exceedingly great, for name and for beauty to all the lands;  let me prepare, I pray Thee, for it;' and David prepareth in  abundance before his death. 
13O 022:006 And he calleth for Solomon his son, and chargeth him to  build a house to Jehovah, God of Israel, 
13O 022:007 and David saith to Solomon his son, `As for me, it hath  been with my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my  God, 
13O 022:008 and the word of Jehovah [is] against me, saying, Blood in  abundance thou hast shed, and great wars thou hast made: thou  dost not build a house to My name, for much blood thou hast  shed to the earth before Me. 
13O 022:009 `Lo, a son is born to thee; he is a man of rest, and I have  given rest to him from all his enemies round about, for Solomon  is his name, and peace and quietness I give unto Israel in his  days; 
13O 022:010 he doth build a house to My name, and he is to Me for a  son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the  throne of his kingdom over Israel unto the age. 
13O 022:011 `Now, my son, Jehovah is with thee, and thou hast  prospered, and hast built the house of Jehovah thy God, as He  spake concerning thee. 
13O 022:012 Only, Jehovah give to thee wisdom and understanding, and  charge thee concerning Israel, even to keep the law of Jehovah  thy God; 
13O 022:013 then thou dost prosper, if thou dost observe to do the  statutes and the judgments that Jehovah charged Moses with  concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor  be cast down. 
13O 022:014 `And lo, in mine affliction, I have prepared for the house  of Jehovah of gold talents a hundred thousand, and of silver a  thousand thousand talents; and of brass and of iron there is no  weighing, for in abundance it hath been, and wood and stones I  have prepared, and to them thou dost add. 
13O 022:015 `And with thee in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and  artificers of stone and of wood, and every skilful man for every  work. 
13O 022:016 To the gold, to the silver, and to the brass, and to the  iron, there is no number; arise and do, and Jehovah is with  thee.' 
13O 022:017 And David giveth charge to all heads of Israel to give  help to Solomon his son, 
13O 022:018 `Is not Jehovah your God with you? yea, He hath given rest  to you round about, for He hath given into my hand the  inhabitants of the land, and subdued hath been the land before  His people. 
13O 022:019 `Now, give your heart and your soul to seek to Jehovah  your God, and rise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to  bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy  vessels of God, to the house that is built to the name of  Jehovah.' 
13O 023:001 And David is old, and satisfied with days, and causeth his  son Solomon to reign over Israel, 
13O 023:002 and gathereth all the heads of Israel, and the priests, and  the Levites; 
13O 023:003 and the Levites are numbered from a son of thirty years and  upward, and their number, by their polls, is of mighty men  thirty and eight thousand. 
13O 023:004 Of these to preside over the work of the house of Jehovah  [are] twenty and four thousand, and officers and judges six  thousand, 
13O 023:005 and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand giving  praise to Jehovah, `with instruments that I made for praising,'  [saith David.] 
13O 023:006 And David distributeth them into courses: Of the sons of  Levi: of Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 
13O 023:007 Of the Gershonite: Laadan and Shimei. 
13O 023:008 Sons of Laadan: the head [is] Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel,  three.

13O 023:010 And sons of Shimei [are] Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and  Beriah; these [are] sons of Shimei, four. 
13O 023:011 And Jahath is the head, and Zizah the second, and Jeush  and Beriah have not multiplied sons, and they become the house  of a father by one numbering. 
13O 023:012 Sons of Kohath [are] Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel,  four. 
13O 023:013 Sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron is separated for  his sanctifying the holy of holies, he and his sons -- unto the  age, to make perfume before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless  in His name -- unto the age.

13O 023:024 These [are] sons of Levi, by the house of their fathers,  heads of the fathers, by their appointments, in the number of  names, by their polls, doing the work for the service of the  house of Jehovah, from a son of twenty years and upward, 
13O 023:025 for David said, `Jehovah, God of Israel, hath given rest  to His people, and He doth tabernacle in Jerusalem unto the  age;' 
13O 023:026 and also of the Levites, `None [are] to bear the  tabernacle and all its vessels for its service;' 
13O 023:027 for by the last words of David they [took] the number of  the sons of Levi from a son of twenty years and upward, 
13O 023:028 for their station [is] at 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 cleansing of every holy thing,  and the work of the service of the house of God,

13O 023:032 And they have kept the charge of the tent of meeting, and  the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the sons of  Aaron, their brethren, for the service of the house of Jehovah.

13O 026:028 and all that Samuel the seer, and Saul son of Kish, and  Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah sanctified, every one  sanctifying [any thing -- it is] by the side of Shelomith and  his brethren.

13O 027:024 Joab son of Zeruiah hath begun to number -- and hath not  finished -- and there is for this wrath against Israel, and the  number hath not gone up in the account of the Chronicles of  king David.

13O 028:002 And David the king riseth on his feet, and saith, `Hear me,  my brethren and my people, I -- with my heart -- to build a  house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for  the footstool of our God, and I prepared to build, 
13O 028:003 and God hath said to me, Thou dost not build a house to My  name, for a man of wars thou [art], and blood thou hast shed. 
13O 028:004 `And Jehovah, God of Israel, doth fix on me out of all the  house of my father to be for king over Israel to the age, for  on Judah He hath fixed for a leader, and in the house of Judah,  the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, on me,  [me] He hath been pleased to make king over all Israel; 
13O 028:005 and out of all my sons -- for many sons hath Jehovah given  to me -- He also fixeth on Solomon my son, to sit on the throne  of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel, 
13O 028:006 and saith to me, Solomon thy son, he doth build My house,  and My courts, for I have fixed on him to Me for a son, and I  -- I am to him for a father, 
13O 028:007 and I have established his kingdom to the age, if he is  strong to do My commands, and My judgments, as at this day. 
13O 028:008 `And now, before the eyes of all Israel, the assembly of  Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, keep and seek all the  commands of Jehovah your God, so that ye possess this good  land, and have caused your sons to inherit after you unto the  age. 
13O 028:009 `And thou, Solomon, my son, know the God of thy father, and  serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind, for  all hearts is Jehovah seeking, and every imagination of the  thoughts He is understanding; if thou dost seek Him, He is  found of thee, and if thou dost forsake Him, He casteth thee  off for ever. 
13O 028:010 See, now, for Jehovah hath fixed on thee to build a house  for a sanctuary; be strong, and do.' 
13O 028:011 And David giveth to Solomon his son the pattern of the  porch, and of its houses, and of its treasures, and of its  upper chambers, and of its innermost chambers, and of the house  of the atonement; 
13O 028:012 and the pattern of all that hath been by the Spirit with  him, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the  chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of God,  and for the treasures of the things sacrificed; 
13O 028:013 and for the courses of the priests and of the Levites, and  for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and  for all vessels of service of the house of Jehovah, 
13O 028:014 even gold by weight, for [things of] gold, for all  instruments of service and service; for all instruments of  silver by weight, for all instruments of service and service; 
13O 028:015 and [by] weight for the candlesticks of gold, and their  lamps of gold, by weight [for] candlestick and candlestick, and  its lamps; and for the candlesticks of silver, by weight for a  candlestick and its lamps, according to the service of  candlestick and candlestick; 
13O 028:016 and the gold [by] weight for tables of the arrangement,  for table and table, and silver for the tables of silver; 
13O 028:017 and the forks, and the bowls, and the cups of pure gold,  and for the basins of gold, by weight for basin and basin, and  for the basins of silver, by weight for basin and basin, 
13O 028:018 and for the altar of perfume refined gold by weight, and  for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubs of gold --  spreading and covering over the ark of the covenant of Jehovah. 
13O 028:019 The whole [is] in writing from the hand of Jehovah, `He  caused me to understand all the work of the pattern,' [said  David.] 
13O 028:020 And David saith to Solomon his son, `Be strong, and  courageous, and do; do not fear nor be affrighted, for Jehovah  God, my God, [is] with thee; He doth not fail thee, nor forsake  thee, unto the completion of all the work of the service of the  house of Jehovah. 
13O 028:021 `And lo, courses of the priests and of the Levites [are]  for all the service of the house of God; and with thee in all  work [is] every willing one with wisdom, for every service; and  the heads and all the people [are] according to all thy words.' 
13O 029:001 And David the king saith to all the assembly, `Solomon my  son -- the one on whom God hath fixed -- [is] young and tender,  and the work [is] great, for not for man is the palace, but for  Jehovah God; 
13O 029:002 and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my  God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [those  of] silver, and the brass for [those of] brass, the iron for  [those of] iron, and the wood for [those of] wood, shoham  stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse  colours, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white  marble, in abundance. 
13O 029:003 `And again, because of my delighting in the house of my  God, the substance I have -- a peculiar treasure of gold and  silver -- I have given for the house of my God, even over and  above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary: 
13O 029:004 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and  seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls  of the houses, 
13O 029:005 even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [those of]  silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who  [is] he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand  to-day to Jehovah?' 
13O 029:006 And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes  of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds,  even to the heads of the work of the king, offer willingly. 
13O 029:007 And they give for the service of the house of God, of gold  -- talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver --  talents ten thousand, and of brass -- a myriad and eight  thousand talents; and of iron -- a hundred thousand talents; 
13O 029:008 and he with whom stones are found hath given to the  treasury of the house of Jehovah, by the hand of Jehiel the  Gershonite. 
13O 029:009 And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly,  for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to  Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced -- great joy. 
13O 029:010 And David blesseth Jehovah before the eyes of all the  assembly, and David saith, `Blessed [art] Thou, Jehovah, God of  Israel our father, from age even unto age. 
13O 029:011 To Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the greatness, and the might, and  the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in  the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the  kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head; 
13O 029:012 and the riches, and the honour [are] from before Thee, and  Thou art ruling over all, and in Thy hand [is] power and might,  and in Thy hand, to make great, and to give strength to all. 
13O 029:013 `And now, our God, we are giving thanks to Thee, and  giving praise to Thy beauteous name; 
13O 029:014 yea, because, who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we  retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee [is] the  whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to Thee; 
13O 029:015 for sojourners we [are] before Thee, and settlers, like  all our fathers; as a shadow [are] our days on the land, and  there is none abiding. 
13O 029:016 `O Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared  to build to Thee a house, for Thy holy name, [is] out of Thy  hand, and of Thee [is] the whole. 
13O 029:017 `And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart,  and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart,  have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are  found here I have seen with joy to offer willingly to Thee. 
13O 029:018 `O Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our  fathers, keep this to the age for the imagination of the  thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart  unto Thee; 
13O 029:019 and to Solomon my son give a perfect heart, to keep Thy  commands, Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and to do the  whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.' 
13O 029:020 And David saith to all the assembly, `Bless, I pray you,  Jehovah your God;' and all the assembly bless Jehovah, God of  their fathers, and bow and do obeisance to Jehovah, and to the  king. 
13O 029:021 And they sacrifice to Jehovah sacrifices, and cause to  ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the morrow of that day,  bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, lambs a thousand, and  their oblations, even sacrifices in abundance, for all Israel. 
13O 029:022 And they eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with  great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second  time, and anoint [him] before Jehovah for leader, and Zadok for  priest. 
13O 029:023 And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king  instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel  hearken unto him, 
13O 029:024 and all the heads, and the mighty men, and also all the  sons of king David have given a hand under Solomon the king; 
13O 029:025 and Jehovah maketh Solomon exceedingly great before the  eyes of all Israel, and putteth upon him the honour of the  kingdom that hath not been on any king over Israel before him. 
13O 029:026 And David son of Jesse hath reigned over all Israel, 
13O 029:027 and the days that he hath reigned over Israel [are] forty  years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he  reigned thirty and three; 
13O 029:028 and he dieth in a good old age, satisfied with days,  riches, and honour, and reign doth Solomon his son in his  stead. 
13O 029:029 And the matters of David the king, the first and the last,  lo, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and  beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the  matters of Gad the seer, 
13O 029:030 with all his reign, and his might, and the times that went  over him, and over Israel, and over all kingdoms of the lands.  
14O 001:001 And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his  kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him  exceedingly great. 
14O 001:002 And Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands,  and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one  of all Israel, heads of the fathers, 
14O 001:003 and they go -- Solomon, and all the assembly with him -- to  the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's  tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, made in the  wilderness, 
14O 001:004 but the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim,  when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent  in Jerusalem; 
14O 001:005 and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur  made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and  the assembly seek to it. 
14O 001:006 And Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before  Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to  ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings. 
14O 001:007 In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to  him, `Ask -- what do I give to thee?' 
14O 001:008 And Solomon saith to God, `Thou hast done with David my  father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign in his  stead. 
14O 001:009 Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father  stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people  numerous as the dust of the earth; 
14O 001:010 now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before  this people, and I come in, for who doth judge this Thy great  people?' 
14O 001:011 And God saith to Solomon, `Because that this hath been with  thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour,  and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not  asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that  thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to  reign -- 
14O 001:012 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches  and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been  so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not  so.' 
14O 001:013 And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in  Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and  reigneth over Israel, 
14O 001:014 and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a  thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand  horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots,  and with the king in Jerusalem. 
14O 001:015 And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as  stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the  low country, for abundance. 
14O 001:016 And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from  Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at a  price, 
14O 001:017 and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for  six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred,  and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram  -- by their hand they bring out. 
14O 002:001 And Solomon saith to build a house for the name of Jehovah,  and a house for his kingdom, 
14O 002:002 and Solomon numbereth seventy thousand men bearing burden,  and eighty thousand men hewing in the mountain, and overseers  over them -- three thousand and six hundred. 
14O 002:003 And Solomon sendeth unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, `When  thou hast dealt with David my father, then thou dost send to  him cedars to build for him a house to dwell in; 
14O 002:004 lo, I am building a house to the name of Jehovah my God, to  sanctify [it] to Him, to make perfume before Him, perfume of  spices, and a continual arrangement, and burnt-offerings at  morning and at evening, at sabbaths, and at new moons, and at  appointed seasons of Jehovah our God; to the age this [is] on  Israel. 
14O 002:005 `And the house that I am building [is] great, for greater  [is] our God than all gods; 
14O 002:006 and who doth retain strength to build to Him a house, for  the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, do not contain  Him? and who [am] I that I do build to Him a house, except to  make perfume before Him? 
14O 002:007 `And now, send to me a wise man to work in gold, and in  silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson,  and blue, and knowing to grave gravings with the wise men who  [are] with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father  prepared; 
14O 002:008 and send to me cedar-trees, firs, and algums from Lebanon,  for I have known that thy servants know to cut down trees of  Lebanon, and lo, my servants [are] with thy servants, 
14O 002:009 even to prepare for me trees in abundance, for the house  that I am building [is] great and wonderful. 
14O 002:010 `And lo, to hewers, to those cutting the trees, I have  given beaten wheat to thy servants, cors twenty thousand, and  barley, cors twenty thousand, and wine, baths twenty thousand,  and oil, baths twenty thousand.' 
14O 002:011 And Huram king of Tyre saith in writing, and sendeth unto  Solomon: `In the love of Jehovah to His people He hath given  thee king over them.' 
14O 002:012 And Huram saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who  made the heavens and the earth, who hath given to David the  king a wise son, knowing wisdom and understanding, who doth  build a house for Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom. 
14O 002:013 `And now, I have sent a wise man having understanding, of  Huram my father, 
14O 002:014 (son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a  man of Tyre), knowing to work in gold, and in silver, in brass,  in iron, in stones, and in wood, in purple, in blue, and in  fine linen, and in crimson, and to grave any graving, and to  devise any device that is given to him, with thy wise men, and  the wise men of my lord David thy father. 
14O 002:015 `And, now, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the  wine, as my lord said, let him send to his servants, 
14O 002:016 and we -- we cut trees out of Lebanon, according to all thy  need, and bring them in to thee -- floats by sea, to Joppa, and  thou dost take them up to Jerusalem.' 
14O 002:017 And Solomon numbereth all the men, the sojourners who [are]  in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his  father numbered them, and they are found a hundred and fifty  thousand, and three thousand, and six hundred; 
14O 002:018 and he maketh of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and  eighty thousand hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and  six hundred overseers, to cause the people to work. 
14O 003:001 And Solomon beginneth to build the house of Jehovah, in  Jerusalem, in the mount of Moriah, where He appeared to David  his father, in the place that David had prepared, in the  threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, 
14O 003:002 and he beginneth to build in the second [day], in the second  month, in the fourth year of his reign. 
14O 003:003 And [in] these hath Solomon been instructed to build the  house of God: The length [in] cubits by the former measure [is]  sixty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 
14O 003:004 As to the porch that [is] on the front, the length [is] by  the front of the breadth of the house, twenty cubits, and the  height a hundred and twenty, and he overlayeth it within with  pure gold. 
14O 003:005 And the large house he hath covered with fir-trees, and he  doth cover it with good gold, and causeth to ascend on it palms  and chains, 
14O 003:006 and he overlayeth the house with precious stone for beauty,  and the gold [is] gold of Parvaim, 
14O 003:007 and he covereth the house, the beams, the thresholds, and  its walls, and its doors, with gold, and hath graved cherubs on  the walls. 
14O 003:008 And he maketh the most holy house: its length [is] by the  front of the breadth of the house twenty cubits, and its  breadth twenty cubits, and he covereth it with good gold, to  six hundred talents; 
14O 003:009 and the weight of the nails [is] fifty shekels of gold, and  the upper chambers he hath covered with gold. 
14O 003:010 And he maketh in the most holy house two cherubs, image  work, and he overlayeth them with gold; 
14O 003:011 as to the wings of the cherubs, their length [is] twenty  cubits, the wing of the one [is] five cubits, touching the wall  of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits, touching the  wing of the other cherub. 
14O 003:012 And the wing of the other cherub [is] five cubits touching  the wall of the house, and the other wing [is] five cubits,  adhering to the wing of the other cherub. 
14O 003:013 The wings of these cherubs are spreading forth twenty  cubits, and they are standing on their feet and their faces  [are] inward. 
14O 003:014 And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and crimson,  and fine linen, and causeth cherubs to go up on it. 
14O 003:015 And he maketh at the front of the house two pillars, thirty  and five cubits in length, and the ornament that [is] on their  heads five cubits. 
14O 003:016 And he maketh chains in the oracle, and putteth on the  heads of the pillars, and maketh a hundred pomegranates, and  putteth on the chains. 
14O 003:017 And he raiseth up the pillars on the front of the temple,  one on the right, and one on the left, and calleth the name of  that on the right Jachin, and the name of that on the left  Boaz. 
14O 004:001 And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length,  and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height. 
14O 004:002 And he maketh the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its  edge unto its edge, round in compass, and five by the cubit its  height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth compass it,  round about. 
14O 004:003 And the likeness of oxen [is] under it, all round about  encompassing it, ten in the cubit, compassing the sea round  about; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast. 
14O 004:004 It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and  three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three  facing the east, and the sea [is] upon them above, and all  their hinder parts [are] within. 
14O 004:005 And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the  work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; taking hold --  baths three thousand it containeth. 
14O 004:006 And he maketh ten lavers, and putteth five on the right, and  five on the left, to wash with them; the work of the  burnt-offering they purge with them; and the sea [is] for  priests to wash with. 
14O 004:007 And he maketh the ten candlesticks of gold, according to  their ordinance, and placeth in the temple, five on the right,  and five on the left. 
14O 004:008 And he maketh ten tables, and placeth in the temple, five on  the right, and five on the left; and he maketh bowls of gold a  hundred. 
14O 004:009 And he maketh the court of the priests, and the great court,  and doors for the court, and their doors he hath overlaid with  brass. 
14O 004:010 And the sea he hath placed on the right shoulder eastward,  over-against the south. 
14O 004:011 And Huram maketh the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls,  and Huram finisheth to make the work that he made for king  Solomon in the house of God; 
14O 004:012 two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of  the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of  the crowns that [are] on the heads of the pillars; 
14O 004:013 and the pomegranates four hundred to the two wreaths, two  rows of pomegranates to the one wreath, to cover the two bowls  of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars. 
14O 004:014 And the bases he hath made; and the lavers he hath made on  the bases; 
14O 004:015 the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it, 
14O 004:016 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their  vessels, hath Huram his father made for king Solomon, for the  house of Jehovah, of brass purified. 
14O 004:017 In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in  the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah. 
14O 004:018 And Solomon maketh all these vessels in great abundance,  that the weight of the brass hath not been searched out. 
14O 004:019 And Solomon maketh all the vessels that [are for] the house  of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them [is]  bread of the presence; 
14O 004:020 and the candlesticks, and their lamps, for their burning  according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined; 
14O 004:021 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold -- it  [is] the perfection of gold; 
14O 004:022 and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the  censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its  innermost doors to the holy of holies, and the doors of the  house to the temple, of gold. 
14O 005:001 And all the work that Solomon made for the house of Jehovah  is finished, and Solomon bringeth in the sanctified things of  David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the  vessels he hath put among the treasures of the house of God. 
14O 005:002 Then doth Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the  heads of the tribes, princes of the fathers of the sons of  Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of  Jehovah from the city of David -- it [is] Zion. 
14O 005:003 And assembled unto the king are all the men of Israel in the  feast -- it [is] the seventh month; 
14O 005:004 and all the elders of Israel come in, and the Levites lift  up the ark, 
14O 005:005 and they bring up the ark, and the tent of meeting, and all  the vessels of the sanctuary that [are] in the tent; brought  them up have the priests, the Levites; 
14O 005:006 and king Solomon and all the company of Israel who are  convened unto him before the ark are sacrificing sheep and  oxen, that are not counted nor numbered from multitude. 
14O 005:007 And the priests bring in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah  unto its place, unto the oracle of the house, unto the holy of  holies, unto the place of the wings of the cherubs; 
14O 005:008 and the cherubs are spreading out wings over the place of  the ark, and the cherubs cover over the ark, and over its  staves, from above; 
14O 005:009 and they lengthen the staves, and the heads of the staves  are seen out of the ark on the front of the oracle, and they  are not seen without; and it is there unto this day. 
14O 005:010 There is nothing in the ark but the two tables that Moses  gave in Horeb, where Jehovah covenanted with the sons of  Israel, in their going out from Egypt. 
14O 005:011 And it cometh to pass, in the going out of the priests from  the sanctuary -- for all the priests who are present have  sanctified themselves, there is none to watch by courses, 
14O 005:012 and the Levites, the singers, to all of them, to Asaph, to  Heman, to Jeduthun, and to their sons, and to their brethren,  clothed in white linen, with cymbals, and with psalteries, and  harps, are standing on the east of the altar, and with them  priests, to a hundred and twenty, blowing with trumpets -- 
14O 005:013 yea, it cometh to pass, as one [are] trumpeters and  singers, to sound -- one voice -- to praise and to give thanks  to Jehovah, and at the lifting up of the sound with trumpets,  and with cymbals, and with instruments of song, and at giving  praise to Jehovah, for good, for to the age [is] His kindness,  that the house is filled with a cloud -- the house of Jehovah, 
14O 005:014 and the priests have not been able to stand to minister  from the presence of the cloud, for the honour of Jehovah hath  filled the house of God. 
14O 006:001 Then said Solomon, `Jehovah said -- to dwell in thick  darkness, 
14O 006:002 and I -- I have built a house of habitation for Thee, and a  fixed place for Thy dwelling to the ages.' 
14O 006:003 And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole  assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is  standing, 
14O 006:004 and he saith, `Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath  spoken with His mouth with David my father, and with His hands  hath fulfilled [it], saying: 
14O 006:005 `From the day that I brought out My people from the land of  Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of  Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not  fixed on a man to be leader over My people Israel; 
14O 006:006 and I fix on Jerusalem for My name being there, and I fix on  David to be over My people Israel. 
14O 006:007 `And it is with the heart of David my father to build a  house for the name of Jehovah God of Israel, 
14O 006:008 and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath  been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast  done well that it hath been with thy heart, 
14O 006:009 but thou dost not build the house, for thy son who cometh  forth out from thy loins, he doth build the house for My name. 
14O 006:010 `And Jehovah doth establish His word that He spake, and I  rise up in the stead of David my father, and sit on the throne  of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and I build the house for the name  of Jehovah, God of Israel, 
14O 006:011 and I place there the ark, where [is] the covenant of  Jehovah that He made with the sons of Israel.' 
14O 006:012 And he standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against  all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth out his hand, -- 
14O 006:013 for Solomon hath made a scaffold of brass, and putteth it  in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five  cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he  standeth upon it, and kneeleth on his knees over-against all  the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth forth his hands towards  the heavens -- 
14O 006:014 and saith, `O Jehovah God of Israel, there is not like Thee  a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and  the kindness for Thy servants who are walking before Thee with  all their heart; 
14O 006:015 who hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which  Thou didst speak to him; yea, Thou dost speak with Thy mouth,  and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as at this day. 
14O 006:016 `And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant  David my father that which Thou didst speak to him, saying,  There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on  the throne of Israel, only, if thy sons watch their way to walk  in My law, as thou hast walked before Me. 
14O 006:017 `And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel, is Thy word stedfast  that Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, to David, 
14O 006:018 (for is it true? -- God dwelleth with man on the earth! Lo,  the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain  Thee, how much less this house that I have built?) 
14O 006:019 `And Thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and  unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the  cry and unto the prayer that Thy servant is praying before  Thee, 
14O 006:020 for Thine eyes being open towards this house by day and by  night, towards the place that Thou hast said to put Thy name  there, to hearken unto the prayer that Thy servant prayeth  towards this place. 
14O 006:021 `And Thou hast hearkened unto the supplications of Thy  servant, and of Thy people Israel, that they pray towards this  place, and Thou dost hear from the place of Thy dwelling, from  the heavens, and hast hearkened, and forgiven. 
14O 006:022 `If a man doth sin against his neighbour, and he hath  lifted up on him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath  hath come in before Thine altar in this house -- 
14O 006:023 then Thou dost hear from the heavens, and hast done, and  hast judged Thy servants, to give back to the wicked, to put  his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to  give to him according to his righteousness. 
14O 006:024 `And if Thy people Israel is smitten before an enemy,  because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back and  confessed Thy name, and prayed and made supplication before  Thee in this house -- 
14O 006:025 then Thou dost hear from the heavens, and hast forgiven the  sin of Thy people Israel, and caused them to turn back unto the  ground that Thou hast given to them, and to their fathers. 
14O 006:026 `In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain,  because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards  this place, and confessed Thy name -- from their sin they turn  back because Thou dost afflict them -- 
14O 006:027 then Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the  sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, because Thou  directest them unto the good way in which they walk, and hast  given rain on Thy land that Thou hast given to Thy people for  an inheritance. 
14O 006:028 `Famine, when it is in the land, pestilence, when it is,  blasting, and mildew, locust, and caterpillar, when they are,  when its enemies have distressed it in the land -- its gates,  any plague and any sickness; 
14O 006:029 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for  all Thy people Israel, when they know each his own plague, and  his own pain, and he hath spread out his hands towards this  house: 
14O 006:030 then Thou dost hear from the heavens, the settled place of  Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast given to each  according to all his ways (because Thou knowest his heart, for  Thou -- Thou only -- hast known the heart of the sons of men), 
14O 006:031 so that they fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, all the days  that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast  given to our fathers. 
14O 006:032 `And also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people  Israel, and he hath come from a land afar off for the sake of  Thy great name, and Thy strong hand, and Thy stretched-out arm,  and they have come in and prayed towards this house: 
14O 006:033 then Thou dost hear from the heavens, from the settled  place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the  stranger calleth unto Thee for: so that all the peoples of the  earth do know Thy name, so as to fear Thee, as Thy people  Israel, and to know that Thy name is called on this house that  I have built. 
14O 006:034 `When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemies  in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto  Thee the way of this city that Thou hast fixed on, and the  house that I have built for Thy name: 
14O 006:035 then Thou hast heard from the heavens their prayer and  their supplication, and hast maintained their cause. 
14O 006:036 `When they sin against Thee -- for there is not a man who  sinneth not -- and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast  given them before an enemy, and taken them captive have their  captors, unto a land far off or near; 
14O 006:037 and they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land  whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and  made supplication unto Thee in the land of their captivity,  saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done  wickedly; 
14O 006:038 yea, they have turned back unto Thee with all their heart,  and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity,  whither they have taken them captive, and they have prayed the  way of their land that Thou hast given to their fathers, and of  the city that Thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have  built for Thy name: 
14O 006:039 then Thou hast heard from the heavens, from the settled  place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications,  and hast maintained their cause, and forgiven Thy people who  have sinned against Thee. 
14O 006:040 `Now, my God, let, I beseech Thee, Thine eyes be open, and  Thine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place: 
14O 006:041 and now, rise, O Jehovah God, to Thy rest, Thou, and the  ark of Thy strength; Thy priests, O Jehovah God, are clothed  with salvation, and Thy saints rejoice in the goodness, 
14O 006:042 O Jehovah God, turn not back the face of Thine anointed, be  mindful of the kind acts of David Thy servant.' 
14O 007:001 And at Solomon's finishing to pray, then the fire hath come  down from the heavens, and consumeth the burnt-offering and the  sacrifices, and the honour of Jehovah hath filled the house, 
14O 007:002 and the priests have not been able to go in unto the house  of Jehovah, because the honour of Jehovah hath filled the  house of Jehovah. 
14O 007:003 And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of  the fire, and the honour of Jehovah on the house, and they bow  -- faces to the earth -- on the pavement, and do obeisance, and  give thanks to Jehovah, for good, for to the age [is] His  kindness. 
14O 007:004 And the king and all the people are sacrificing a  sacrifice before Jehovah, 
14O 007:005 and king Solomon sacrificeth the sacrifice of the herd,  twenty and two thousand, and of the flock, a hundred and twenty  thousand, and the king and all the people dedicate the house of  God. 
14O 007:006 And the priests over their charges are standing, and the  Levites with instruments of the song of Jehovah -- that David  the king made, to give thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is]  His kindness, in David's praising by their hand -- and the  priests are blowing trumpets over-against them, and all Israel  are standing. 
14O 007:007 And Solomon sanctifieth the middle of the court that [is]  before the house of Jehovah, for he hath made there the  burnt-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings: for the  altar of brass that Solomon made hath not been able to contain  the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat. 
14O 007:008 And solomon maketh the feast at that time seven days, and  all Israel with him -- a very great assembly -- from the  entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt. 
14O 007:009 And they make on the eighth day a restraint, because the  dedication of the altar they have made seven days, and the  feast seven days. 
14O 007:010 And on the twenty and third day of the seventh month he  hath sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in  heart, for the goodness that Jehovah hath done to David, and  to Solomon, and to Israel His people. 
14O 007:011 And Solomon finisheth the house of Jehovah, and the house  of the king; and all that hath come on the heart of Solomon to  do in the house of Jehovah, and in his own house, he hath  caused to prosper. 
14O 007:012 And Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon by night, and saith to  him, `I have heard thy prayer, and have fixed on this place to  Me for a house of sacrifice. 
14O 007:013 If I restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I  lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send  pestilence among My people -- 
14O 007:014 and My people on whom My name is called be humbled, and  pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways,  then I -- I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and  heal their land. 
14O 007:015 `Now, Mine eyes are open, and Mine ears attentive, to the  prayer of this place; 
14O 007:016 and now, I have chosen and sanctified this house for My  name being there unto the age; yea, Mine eyes and My heart have  been there all the days. 
14O 007:017 `And thou, if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father  walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded  thee, and My statutes and My judgments dost keep -- 
14O 007:018 then I have established the throne of thy kingdom, as I  covenanted with David thy father, saying, There is not cut off  a man to thee -- a ruler in Israel; 
14O 007:019 and if ye turn back -- ye -- and have forsaken My statutes,  and My commands, that I have placed before you, and have gone  and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them -- then I  have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to them, 
14O 007:020 and this house that I have sanctified for My name, I cast  from before My face, and make it for a proverb, and for a  byword, among all the peoples. 
14O 007:021 `And this house that hath been high, to every one passing  by it, is an astonishment, and he hath said, Wherefore hath  Jehovah done thus to this land, and to this house? 
14O 007:022 and they have said, Because that they have forsaken  Jehovah, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the  land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves  to them, and serve them, therefore He hath brought upon them  all this evil.' 
14O 008:001 And it cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that  Solomon hath built the house of Jehovah, and his own house. 
14O 008:002 As to the cities that Huram hath given to Solomon, Solomon  hath built them, and there he causeth the sons of Israel to  dwell. 
14O 008:003 And Solomon goeth to Hamath-Zobah, and layeth hold upon  it; 
14O 008:004 and he buildeth Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities  of store that he hath built in Hamath. 
14O 008:005 And he buildeth Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the  lower -- cities of defence, with walls, two-leaved doors, and  bar -- 
14O 008:006 and Baalath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had,  and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the  horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to  build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his  dominion. 
14O 008:007 All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite,  and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are  not of Israel -- 
14O 008:008 of their sons who have been left after them in the land,  whom the sons of Israel consumed not -- doth Solomon lift up a  tribute unto this day. 
14O 008:009 And none of the sons of Israel hath Solomon made servants  for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his  captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen; 
14O 008:010 and these [are] heads of the officers whom king Solomon  hath, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among the people. 
14O 008:011 And the daughter of Pharaoh hath Solomon brought up from  the city of David to the house that he built for her, for he  said, `My wife doth not dwell in the house of David king of  Israel, for they are holy unto whom hath come the ark of  Jehovah.' 
14O 008:012 Then hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to  Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he built before the porch, 
14O 008:013 even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend  according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new  moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year -- in  the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and  in the feast of booths. 
14O 008:014 And he establisheth, according to the ordinance of David  his father, the courses of the priests over their service, and  of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister  over-against the priests, according to the matter of a day in  its day, and the gatekeepers in their courses at gate and gate,  for so [is] the command of David the man of God. 
14O 008:015 And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the  king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to  any matter, and to the treasures. 
14O 008:016 And all the work of Solomon is prepared till the day of the  foundation of the house of Jehovah, and till its completion;  perfect is the house of Jehovah. 
14O 008:017 Then hath Solomon gone to Ezion-Geber, and unto Elath, on  the border of the sea, in the land of Edom; 
14O 008:018 and Huram sendeth to him, by the hand of his servants,  ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants  of Solomon to Ophir, and take thence four hundred and fifty  talents of gold, and bring in unto king Solomon. 
14O 009:001 And the queen of Sheba hath heard of the fame of Solomon,  and cometh in to try Solomon with acute sayings, to Jerusalem,  with a very great company, and camels bearing spices and gold  in abundance, and precious stone; and she cometh in unto  Solomon, and speaketh with him all that hath been with her  heart, 
14O 009:002 and Solomon declareth to her all her matters, and there hath  not been hid a thing from Solomon that he hath not declared to  her. 
14O 009:003 And the queen of Sheba seeth the wisdom of Solomon, and the  house that he hath built, 
14O 009:004 and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants,  and the standing of his ministers, and their clothing, and his  stewards, and their clothing, an his burnt-offering that he  offered up in the house of Jehovah, and there hath not been any  more spirit in her. 
14O 009:005 And she saith unto the king, `True [is] the word that I  heard in my land concerning thy matters and concerning thy  wisdom, 
14O 009:006 and I have given no credence to their words, till that I  have come, and mine eyes see, and lo, there hath not been  declared to me the half of the abundance of thy wisdom -- thou  hast added unto the report that I heard. 
14O 009:007 `O the happiness of thy men, and the happiness of thy  servants -- these -- who are standing before thee continually,  and hearing thy wisdom. 
14O 009:008 Let Jehovah thy God be blessed who hath delighted in thee,  to put thee on His throne for king for Jehovah thy God; in the  love of thy God to Israel, to establish it to the age, He hath  put thee over them for king, to do judgment and righteousness.' 
14O 009:009 And she giveth to the king a hundred and twenty talents of  gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stone; and  there hath not been any such spice as the queen of Sheba hath  given to king Solomon. 
14O 009:010 And also, servants of Huram, and servants of Solomon, who  brought in gold from Ophir, have brought in algum-trees and  precious stone. 
14O 009:011 And the king maketh the algum-trees staircases for the  house of Jehovah, and for the house of the king, and harps and  psalteries for singers; and there have been none seen like  these before in the land of Judah. 
14O 009:012 And king Solomon hath given to the queen of Sheba all her  desire that she asked, apart from that which she had brought  unto the king, and she turneth and goeth to her land, she and  her servants. 
14O 009:013 And the weight of the gold that is coming to Solomon in one  year is six hundred and sixty and six talents of gold, 
14O 009:014 apart from [what] the tourists, and the merchants, are  bringing in; and all the kings of Arabia, and the governors of  the land, are bringing in gold and silver to Solomon. 
14O 009:015 And king Solomon maketh two hundred targets of alloyed  gold, six hundred [shekels] of alloyed gold he causeth to go up  on the one target; 
14O 009:016 and three hundred shields of alloyed gold, three hundred  [shekels] of gold he causeth to go up on the one shield, and  the king putteth them in the house of the forest of Lebanon. 
14O 009:017 And the king maketh a great throne of ivory, and overlayeth  it with pure gold; 
14O 009:018 and six steps [are] to the throne, and a footstool of gold,  to the throne they are fastened, and hands [are] on this [side]  and on that on the place of the sitting, and two lions are  standing near the hands, 
14O 009:019 and twelve lions are standing there on the six steps on  this [side], and on that: it hath not been made so for any  kingdom. 
14O 009:020 And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon [are] of gold,  and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon [are]  of refined gold -- silver is not reckoned in the days of  Solomon for anything; 
14O 009:021 for ships of the king are going to Tarshish, with servants  of Huram: once in three years come do the ships of Tarshish  bearing gold, and silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. 
14O 009:022 And king Solomon becometh greater than any of the kings of  the earth for riches and wisdom; 
14O 009:023 and all the kings of the earth are seeking the presence of  Solomon to hear his wisdom that God hath put in his heart, 
14O 009:024 and they are bringing in each his present, vessels of  silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, harness, and spices,  horses, and mules, a rate year by year. 
14O 009:025 And there are to Solomon four thousand stalls for horses  and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placed them  in cities of the chariot, and with the king in Jerusalem. 
14O 009:026 And he is ruling over all the kings from the River even  unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt. 
14O 009:027 And the king maketh the silver in Jerusalem as stones, and  the cedars he hath made as sycamores, that [are] in the low  country, for abundance, 
14O 009:028 and they are bringing out horses from Egypt to Solomon, and  from all the lands. 
14O 009:029 And the rest of the matters of Solomon, the first and the  last, are they not written beside the matters of Nathan the  prophet, and beside the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and  with the visions of Iddo the seer concerning Jeroboam son of  Nebat? 
14O 009:030 And Solomon reigneth in Jerusalem over all Israel forty  years, 
14O 009:031 and Solomon lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in  the city of David his father, and reign doth Rehoboam his son  in his stead. 
14O 010:001 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for [to] Shechem have all  Israel come to cause him to reign. 
14O 010:002 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's -- who  [is] in Egypt because he hath fled from the face of Solomon the  king -- hearing, that Jeroboam turneth back out of Egypt; 
14O 010:003 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam cometh in, and  all Israel, and speak unto Rehoboam, saying, 
14O 010:004 `Thy father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light  [somewhat] of the sharp service of thy father, and of his heavy  yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.' 
14O 010:005 And he saith unto them, `Yet three days -- then return ye  unto me;' and the people go. 
14O 010:006 And king Rehoboam consulteth with the aged men who have  been standing before Solomon his father in his being alive,  saying, `How are ye counselling to answer this people?' 
14O 010:007 And they speak unto him, saying, `If thou dost become good  to this people, and hast been pleased with them, and spoken  unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all  the days.' 
14O 010:008 And he forsaketh the counsel of the aged men that they  counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up  with him, those standing before him, 
14O 010:009 and he saith unto them, `What are ye counselling, and we  answer this people that have spoken unto me, saying, Make light  [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?' 
14O 010:010 And the lads who have grown up with him, speak with him,  saying, `Thus dost thou say to the people who have spoken unto  thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make  light [somewhat] of our yoke; thus dost thou say unto them, My  little finger is thicker than the loins of my father; 
14O 010:011 and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I -- I  add unto your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I  -- with scorpions.' 
14O 010:012 And Jeroboam cometh in, and all the people, unto Rehoboam  on the third day, as the king spake, saying, `Return unto me on  the third day.' 
14O 010:013 And the king answereth them sharply, and king Rehoboam  forsaketh the counsel of the aged men, 
14O 010:014 and speaketh unto them according to the counsel of the  lads, saying, `My father made your yoke heavy, and I -- I add  unto it; my father chastised you with whips, and I -- with  scorpions.' 
14O 010:015 And the king hath not hearkened unto the people, for the  revolution hath been from God, for the sake of Jehovah's  establishing His word that He spake by the hand of Abijah the  Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat. 
14O 010:016 And all Israel have seen that the king hath not hearkened  to them, and the people send back [to] the king, saying, `What  portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in a son  of Jesse; each to thy tents, O Israel; now, see thy house --  David,' and all Israel go to their tents. 
14O 010:017 As to the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of  Judah -- Rehoboam reigneth over them. 
14O 010:018 And king Rehoboam sendeth Hadoram, who [is] over the  tribute, and the sons of Israel cast at him stones, and he  dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up  into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem; 
14O 010:019 and Israel transgress against the house of David unto this  day. 
14O 011:001 And Rehoboam cometh in to Jerusalem, and assembleth the  house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand  chosen warriors, to fight with Israel, to bring back the  kingdom to Rehoboam. 
14O 011:002 And a word of Jehovah is unto Shemaiah, a man of God,  saying, 
14O 011:003 `Speak unto Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, and unto  all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 
14O 011:004 Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not go up nor fight with your  brethren, turn back each to his house, for from Me hath this  thing been;' and they hear the words of Jehovah, and turn back  from going against Jeroboam. 
14O 011:005 And Rehoboam dwelleth in Jerusalem, and buildeth cities for  a bulwark in Judah, 
14O 011:006 yea, he buildeth Beth-Lehem and Etam, and Tekoa, 
14O 011:007 and Beth-Zur, and Shocho, and Adullam, 
14O 011:008 and Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph, 
14O 011:009 and Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah, 
14O 011:010 and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, that [are] in Judah  and in Benjamin, cities of bulwarks. 
14O 011:011 And he strengtheneth the bulwarks, and putteth in them  leaders, and treasures of food, and oil, and wine, 
14O 011:012 and in every city and city targets and spears, and  strengtheneth them very greatly; and he hath Judah and  Benjamin. 
14O 011:013 And the priests, and the Levites, that [are] in all  Israel, have stationed themselves by him, out of all their  border, 
14O 011:014 for the Levites have left their suburbs and their  possession, and they come to Judah and to Jerusalem, for  Jeroboam and his sons have cast them off from acting as priests  to Jehovah, 
14O 011:015 and he establisheth to him priests for high places, and  for goats, and for calves, that he made -- 
14O 011:016 and after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, those  giving their heart to seek Jehovah, God of Israel, have come in  to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah, God of their father. 
14O 011:017 And they strengthen the kingdom of Judah, and strengthen  Rehoboam son of Solomon, for three years, because they walked  in the way of David and Solomon for three years. 
14O 011:018 And Rehoboam taketh to him a wife, Mahalath, child of  Jerimoth son of David, [and] Abigail daughter of Eliab, son of  Jesse. 
14O 011:019 And she beareth to him sons, Jeush, and Shamaria, and  Zaham. 
14O 011:020 And after her he hath taken Maachah daughter of Absalom,  and she beareth to him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and  Shelomith. 
14O 011:021 And Rehoboam loveth Maachah daughter of Absalom above all  his wives and his concubines -- for eighteen wives he hath  taken, and sixty concubines -- and he begetteth twenty and  eight sons, and sixty daughters. 
14O 011:022 And Rehoboam appointeth for head Abijah son of Maachah,  for leader among his brethren, for to cause him to reign. 
14O 011:023 And he hath understanding, and spreadeth out of all his  sons to all lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all cities of the  bulwarks, and giveth to them provision in abundance; and he  asketh a multitude of wives. 
14O 012:001 And it cometh to pass, at the establishing of the kingdom  of Rehoboam, and at his strengthening himself, he hath forsaken  the law of Jehovah, and all Israel with him. 
14O 012:002 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam,  come up hath Shishak king of Egypt against Jerusalem -- because  they trespassed against Jehovah -- 
14O 012:003 with a thousand and two hundred chariots, and with sixty  thousand horsemen, and there is no number to the people who  have come with him out of Egypt -- Lubim, Sukkiim, and Cushim  -- 
14O 012:004 and he captureth the cities of the bulwarks that [are] to  Judah, and cometh in unto Jerusalem. 
14O 012:005 And Shemaiah the prophet hath come in unto Rehoboam and the  heads of Judah who have been gathered unto Jerusalem from the  presence of Shishak, and saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, Ye  have forsaken Me, and also, I have left you in the hand of  Shishak;' 
14O 012:006 and the heads of Israel are humbled, and the king, and they  say, `Righteous [is] Jehovah.' 
14O 012:007 And when Jehovah seeth that they have been humbled, a word  of Jehovah hath been unto Shemaiah, saying, `They have been  humbled; I do not destroy them, and I have given to them as a  little thing for an escape, and I pour not out My fury in  Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak; 
14O 012:008 but they become servants to him, and they know My service,  and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.' 
14O 012:009 And Shishak king of Egypt cometh up against Jerusalem, and  taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures  of the house of the king -- the whole he hath taken -- and he  taketh the shields of gold that Solomon had made; 
14O 012:010 and king Rehoboam maketh in their stead shields of brass,  and hath given [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the  runners who are keeping the opening of the house of the king; 
14O 012:011 and it cometh to pass, from the time of the going in of  the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners have come in and  lifted them up, and brought them back unto the chamber of the  runners. 
14O 012:012 And in his being humbled, turned back from him hath the  wrath of Jehovah, so as not to destroy to completion; and also,  in Judah there have been good things. 
14O 012:013 And king Rehoboam strengtheneth himself in Jerusalem, and  reigneth; for a son of forty and two years [is] Rehoboam in his  reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the  city that Jehovah hath chosen to put His name there, out of all  the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah  the Ammonitess, 
14O 012:014 and he doth the evil thing, for he hath not prepared his  heart to seek Jehovah. 
14O 012:015 And the matters of Rehoboam, the first and the last, are  they not written among the matters of Shemaiah the prophet, and  of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogy? And the wars of  Rehoboam and Jeroboam [are] all the days; 
14O 012:016 and Rehoboam lieth with his fathers, and is buried in the  city of David, and reign doth Abijah his son in his stead. 
14O 013:001 In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam -- Abijah reigneth  over Judah; 
14O 013:002 three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, (and the name of  his mother [is] Michaiah daughter of Uriel, from Gibeah,) and  war hath been between Abijah and Jeroboam. 
14O 013:003 And Abijah directeth the war with a force of mighty men of  war, four hundred thousand chosen men, and Jeroboam hath set in  array with him battle, with eight hundred thousand chosen men,  mighty of valour. 
14O 013:004 And Abijah riseth up on the hill of Zemaraim that [is] in  the hill-country of Ephraim, and saith, `Hear me, Jeroboam and  all Israel! 
14O 013:005 Is it not for you to know that Jehovah, God of Israel, hath  given the kingdom to David over Israel to the age, to him and  to his sons -- a covenant of salt? 
14O 013:006 and rise up doth Jeroboam, son of Nebat, servant of Solomon  son of David, and rebelleth against his lord! 
14O 013:007 `And there are gathered unto him vain men, sons of  worthlessness, and they strengthen themselves against Rehoboam  son of Solomon, and Rehoboam was a youth, and tender of heart,  and hath not strengthened himself against them. 
14O 013:008 `And now, ye are saying to strengthen yourselves before the  kingdom of Jehovah in the hand of the sons of David, and ye  [are] a numerous multitude, and with you calves of gold that  Jeroboam hath made to you for gods. 
14O 013:009 `Have ye not cast out the priests of Jehovah, the sons of  Aaron, and the Levites, and make to you priests like the  peoples of the lands? every one who hath come to fill his hand  with a bullock, a son of the herd, and seven rams, even he hath  been a priest to No-gods! 
14O 013:010 `As for us, Jehovah [is] our God, and we have not forsaken  Him, and priests are ministering to Jehovah, sons of Aaron and  the Levites, in the work, 
14O 013:011 and are making perfume to Jehovah, burnt-offerings morning  by morning, and evening by evening, and perfume of spices, and  the arrangement of bread [is] on the pure table, and the  candlestick of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening,  for we are keeping the charge of Jehovah our God, and ye -- ye  have forsaken Him. 
14O 013:012 `And lo, with us -- at [our] head -- [is] God, and His  priests and trumpets of shouting to shout against you; O sons  of Israel, do not fight with Jehovah, God of your fathers, for  ye do not prosper.' 
14O 013:013 And Jeroboam hath brought round the ambush to come in from  behind them, and they are before Judah, and the ambush [is]  behind them. 
14O 013:014 And Judah turneth, and lo, against them [is] the battle,  before and behind, and they cry to Jehovah, and the priests are  blowing with trumpets, 
14O 013:015 and the men of Judah shout -- and it cometh to pass, at  the shouting of the men of Judah, that God hath smitten  Jeroboam, and all Israel, before Abijah and Judah. 
14O 013:016 And the sons of Israel flee from the face of Judah, and  God giveth them into their hand, 
14O 013:017 and Abijah and his people smite among them a great  smiting, and there fall wounded of Israel five hundred thousand  chosen men. 
14O 013:018 And the sons of Israel are humbled at that time, and the  sons of Judah are strong, for they have leant on Jehovah, God  of their fathers. 
14O 013:019 And Abijah pursueth after Jeroboam, and captureth from him  cities, Beth-El and its small towns, and Jeshanah and its small  towns, and Ephraim and its small towns. 
14O 013:020 And Jeroboam hath not retained power any more in the days  of Abijah, and Jehovah smiteth him, and he dieth. 
14O 013:021 And Abijah strengtheneth himself, and taketh to him  fourteen wives, and begetteth twenty and two sons, and sixteen  daughters, 
14O 013:022 and the rest of the matters of Abijah, and his ways, and  his words, are written in the `Inquiry' of the prophet Iddo. 
14O 014:001 And Abijah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the  city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead: in his  days was the land quiet ten years. 
14O 014:002 And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right,  in the eyes of Jehovah his God, 
14O 014:003 and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high  places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the  shrines, 
14O 014:004 and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers,  and to do the law and the command; 
14O 014:005 and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high  places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him. 
14O 014:006 And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land  hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years,  because Jehovah hath given rest to him. 
14O 014:007 And he saith to Judah, `Let us build these cities, and  compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and  bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought  Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round  about;' and they build and prosper. 
14O 014:008 And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out  of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing  shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all  these [are] mighty of valour. 
14O 014:009 And come out unto them doth Zerah the Cushite with a force  of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he  cometh in unto Mareshah, 
14O 014:010 and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array  in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 
14O 014:011 And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, `Jehovah!  it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those  who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we  have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this  multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou [art]; let him not prevail  with Thee -- mortal man! 
14O 014:012 And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before  Judah, and the Cushim flee, 
14O 014:013 and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even  to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no  preserving, because they have been broken before Jehovah, and  before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil, 
14O 014:014 and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of  Jehovah hath been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for  abundant spoil hath been in them; 
14O 014:015 and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they  capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to  Jerusalem. 
14O 015:001 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God, 
14O 015:002 and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, `Hear, me,  Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah [is] with you -- in  your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you,  and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you; 
14O 015:003 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and  without a teaching priest, and without law, 
14O 015:004 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of  Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them, 
14O 015:005 and in those times there is no peace to him who is going  out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on  all the inhabitants of the lands, 
14O 015:006 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city  by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity; 
14O 015:007 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for  there is a reward for your work.' 
14O 015:008 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded  the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the  abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and  Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the  hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that  [is] before the porch of Jehovah, 
14O 015:009 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners  with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon --  for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in  their seeing that Jehovah his God [is] with him. 
14O 015:010 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of  the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa, 
14O 015:011 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they  have brought in -- oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven  thousand, 
14O 015:012 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of  their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul, 
14O 015:013 and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of  Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto  woman. 
14O 015:014 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with  shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets, 
14O 015:015 and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all  their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they  have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth  rest to them round about. 
14O 015:016 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king -- he hath  removed her from [being] mistress, in that she hath made for a  shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible  thing, and beateth [it] small, and burneth [it] by the brook  Kidron: 
14O 015:017 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel;  only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days. 
14O 015:018 And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father,  and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and  gold, and vessels. 
14O 015:019 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of  the reign of Asa. 
14O 016:001 In the thirty and sixth year of the reign of Asa, come up  hath Baasha king of Israel, against Judah, and buildeth Ramah,  so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of  Judah. 
14O 016:002 And Asa bringeth out silver and gold from the treasures of  the house of Jehovah, and of the house of the king, and sendeth  unto Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus,  saying, 
14O 016:003 `A covenant [is] between me and thee, and between my father  and thy father, lo, I have sent to thee silver and gold; go,  break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he doth go  up from off me.' 
14O 016:004 And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the  heads of the forces that he hath unto cities of Israel, and  they smite Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores,  cities of Naphtali. 
14O 016:005 And it cometh to pass, at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth  from building Ramah, and letteth his work rest; 
14O 016:006 and Asa the king hath taken all Judah, and they bear away  the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and  he buildeth with them Geba and Mizpah. 
14O 016:007 And at that time hath Hanani the seer come in unto Asa king  of Judah, and saith unto him, `Because of thy leaning on the  king of Aram, and thou hast not leaned on Jehovah thy God,  therefore hath the force of the king of Aram escaped from thy  hand. 
14O 016:008 Did not the Cushim and the Lubim become a very great force  for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? and in thy  leaning on Jehovah He gave them into thy hand, 
14O 016:009 for Jehovah -- His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to  show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect  towards Him; thou hast been foolish concerning this, because --  henceforth there are with thee wars.' 
14O 016:010 And Asa is angry at the seer, and giveth him to the house  of torture, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa  oppresseth [some] of the people at that time. 
14O 016:011 And lo, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, lo,  they are written on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 
14O 016:012 And Asa is diseased -- in the thirty and ninth year of his  reign -- in his feet, till his disease is excessive, and also  in his disease he hath not sought Jehovah, but among  physicians. 
14O 016:013 And Asa lieth with his fathers, and dieth in the forty and  first year of his reign, 
14O 016:014 and they bury him in [one of] his graves, that he had  prepared for himself in the city of David, and they cause him  to lie on a bed that [one] hath filled [with] spices, and  divers kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn for  him a burning -- very great. 
14O 017:001 And Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead, and he  strengtheneth himself against Israel, 
14O 017:002 and putteth a force in all the fenced cities of Judah, and  putteth garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of  Ephraim that Asa his father had captured. 
14O 017:003 And Jehovah is with Jehoshaphat, for he hath walked in the  first ways of David his father, and hath not sought to Baalim, 
14O 017:004 for to the God of his father he hath sought, and in His  commands he hath walked, and not according to the work of  Israel. 
14O 017:005 And Jehovah doth establish the kingdom in his hand, and all  Judah give a present to Jehoshaphat, and he hath riches and  honour in abundance, 
14O 017:006 and his heart is high in the ways of Jehovah, and again he  hath turned aside the high places and the shrines out of Judah. 
14O 017:007 And in the third year of his reign he hath sent for his  heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and  for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah, 
14O 017:008 and with them the Levites, Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and  Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehonathan, and  Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah, the Levites; and with  them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests. 
14O 017:009 And they teach in Judah, and with them [is] the Book of the  Law of Jehovah, and they go round about into all cities of  Judah, and teach among the people. 
14O 017:010 And here is a fear of Jehovah on all kingdoms of the lands  that [are] round about Judah, and they have not fought with  Jehoshaphat; 
14O 017:011 and of the Philistines they are bringing in to Jehoshaphat  a present, and tribute silver; also, the Arabians are bringing  to him a flock, rams seven thousand an seven hundred, and  he-goats seven thousand and seven hundred. 
14O 017:012 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and  he buildeth in Judah palaces and cities of store, 
14O 017:013 and he hath much work in cities of Judah; and men of war,  mighty of valour, [are] in Jerusalem. 
14O 017:014 And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their  fathers: Of Judah, heads of thousands, Adnah the head, and with  him mighty ones of valour, three hundred chiefs. 
14O 017:015 And at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two  hundred and eighty chiefs. 
14O 017:016 And at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is  willingly offering himself to Jehovah, and with him two hundred  chiefs, mighty of valour. 
14O 017:017 And of Benjamin: mighty of valour, Eliada, and with him,  armed with bow and shield, two hundred chiefs. 
14O 017:018 And at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and  eighty chiefs, armed ones of the host. 
14O 017:019 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom  the king put in the cities of fortress, in all Judah. 
14O 018:001 And Jehoshaphat hath riches and honour in abundance, and  joineth affinity to Ahab, 
14O 018:002 and goeth down at the end of [certain] years unto Ahab to  Samaria, and Ahab sacrificeth for him sheep and oxen in  abundance, and for the people who [are] with him, and  persuadeth him to go up unto Ramoth-Gilead. 
14O 018:003 And Ahab king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat king of  Judah, `Dost thou go with me [to] Ramoth-Gilead?' And he saith  to him, `As I -- so thou, and as thy people -- my people, even  with thee in battle.' 
14O 018:004 And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I  pray thee, this day, the word of Jehovah.' 
14O 018:005 And the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, four hundred  men, and saith unto them, `Do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead to  battle, or do I forbear?' And they say, `Go up, and God doth  give [it] into the hand of the king.' 
14O 018:006 And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of  Jehovah still, and we seek from him?' 
14O 018:007 And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Still --  one man to seek Jehovah from him, and I -- I have hated him,  for he is not prophesying concerning me of good, but all his  days of evil, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat  saith, `Let not the king say so.' 
14O 018:008 And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain officer, and  saith, `Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.' 
14O 018:009 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are  sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, and they  are sitting in a threshing-floor at the opening of the gate of  Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them. 
14O 018:010 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of  iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, 
14O 018:011 With these thou dost push Aram till thou hast consumed  them.' And all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, `Go up  [to] Ramath-Gilead and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it]  into the hand of the king.' 
14O 018:012 And the messenger who hath gone to call for Micaiah hath  spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, the words of the prophets -- one  mouth -- [are] good towards the king, and let, I pray thee, thy  word be like one of theirs: and thou hast spoken good.' 
14O 018:013 And Micaiah saith `Jehovah liveth, surely that which my  God saith, it I speak.' 
14O 018:014 And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto  him, `Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I  forbear?' And he saith, `Go ye up, and prosper, and they are  given into your hand.' 
14O 018:015 And the king saith unto him, `How many times am I adjuring  thee, that thou speak unto me only truth in the name of  Jehovah?' 
14O 018:016 And he saith, `I have seen all Israel scattered on the  mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd, and Jehovah saith,  There are no masters to these, they turn back each to his house  in peace.' 
14O 018:017 And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Did I not  say unto thee, He doth not prophesy concerning me good, but  rather of evil?' 
14O 018:018 And he saith, `Therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah: I  have seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of  the heavens standing on His right and His left; 
14O 018:019 and Jehovah saith, Who doth entice Ahab king of Israel,  and he doth go up and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? And this speaker  saith thus, and that speaker thus. 
14O 018:020 And go out doth the spirit, and stand before Jehovah, and  saith, I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, With what? 
14O 018:021 and he saith, I go out, and have become a spirit of  falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He saith, Thou  dost entice, and also, thou art able; go out and do so. 
14O 018:022 And, now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in  the mouth of these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken  concerning thee -- evil.' 
14O 018:023 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah cometh nigh, and smiteth  Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where [is] this -- the way  the Spirit of Jehovah passed over from me to speak with thee?' 
14O 018:024 And Micaiah saith, `Lo, thou dost see in that day, that  thou dost enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.' 
14O 018:025 And the king of Israel saith, `Take ye Micaiah, and turn  him back unto Amon head of the city, and unto Joash son of the  king, 
14O 018:026 and ye have said, Thus said the king, Put ye this [one] in  the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of  oppression, and water of oppression, till my return in peace.' 
14O 018:027 And Micaiah saith, `If thou dost certainly return in  peace, Jehovah hath not spoken by me;' and he saith, `Hear ye,  O peoples, all of them!' 
14O 018:028 And the king of Israel goeth up, and Jehoshaphat king of  Judah, unto Ramoth-Gilead; 
14O 018:029 and the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat to disguise  himself, and to go into battle, `And thou, put on thy  garments.' And the king of Israel disguiseth himself, and they  go into battle. 
14O 018:030 And the king of Aram hath commanded the heads of the  charioteers whom he hath, saying, `Ye do not fight with small  or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.' 
14O 018:031 And it cometh to pass at the heads of the charioteers  seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, `The king of Israel he  is,' and they turn round against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat  crieth out, and Jehovah hath helped him, and God enticeth them  from him, 
14O 018:032 yea, it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers  seeing that it hath not been the king of Israel -- they turn  back from after him. 
14O 018:033 And a man hath drawn with a bow, in his simplicity, and  smiteth the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of  mail, and he saith to the charioteer, `Turn thy hand, and thou  hast brought me out of the camp, for I have become sick.' 
14O 018:034 And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king of  Israel hath been stayed up in the chariot over-against Aram  till the evening, and he dieth at the time of the going in of  the sun. 
14O 019:001 And Jehoshaphat king of Judah turneth back unto his house  in peace to Jerusalem, 
14O 019:002 and go out unto his presence doth Jehu son of Hanani, the  seer, and saith unto king Jehoshaphat, `To give help to the  wicked, and to those hating Jehovah, dost thou love? and for  this against thee [is] wrath from before Jehovah, 
14O 019:003 but good things have been found with thee, for thou hast  put away the shrines out of the land, and hast prepared thy  heart to seek God.' 
14O 019:004 And Jehoshaphat dwelleth in Jerusalem, and he turneth back  and goeth out among the people from Beer-Sheba unto the  hill-country of Ephraim, and bringeth them back unto Jehovah,  God of their fathers. 
14O 019:005 And he establisheth judges in the land, in all the fenced  cities of Judah, for every city, 
14O 019:006 and saith unto the judges, `See what ye are doing -- for  not for man do ye judge, but for Jehovah, who [is] with you in  the matter of judgment; 
14O 019:007 and now, let fear of Jehovah be upon you, observe and do,  for there is not with Jehovah our God perverseness, and  acceptance of faces, and taking of a bribe.' 
14O 019:008 And also in Jerusalem hath Jehoshaphat appointed of the  Levites, and of the priests, and of the heads of the fathers of  Israel, for the judgment of Jehovah, and for strife; and they  turn back to Jerusalem, 
14O 019:009 and he layeth a charge upon them, saying, `Thus do ye do in  the fear of Jehovah, in faithfulness, and with a perfect heart, 
14O 019:010 and any strife that cometh in unto you of your brethren  who are dwelling in their cities, between blood and blood,  between law and command, statutes, and judgments, then ye have  warned them and they become not guilty before Jehovah, and  wrath hath not been on you and on your brethren; thus do ye do,  and ye are not guilty. 
14O 019:011 `And, lo, Amariah the head priest [is] over you for every  matter of Jehovah, and Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of  the house of Judah, [is] for every matter of the king, and  officers the Levites [are] before you; be strong and do, and  Jehovah is with the good.' 
14O 020:001 And it cometh to pass after this, the sons of Moab have  come in, and the sons of Ammon, and with them of the peoples,  against Jehoshaphat to battle. 
14O 020:002 And they come in and declare to Jehoshaphat, saying, `Come  against thee hath a great multitude from beyond the sea, from  Aram, and lo, they [are] in Hazezon-Tamar -- it [is] En-Gedi.' 
14O 020:003 And Jehoshaphat feareth, and setteth his face to seek to  Jehovah, and proclaimeth a fast over all Judah; 
14O 020:004 and Judah is gathered to inquire of Jehovah; also, from all  the cities of Judah they have come in to seek Jehovah. 
14O 020:005 And Jehoshaphat standeth in the assembly of Judah and  Jerusalem, in the house of Jehovah, at the front of the new  court, 
14O 020:006 and saith, `O Jehovah, God of our fathers, art not Thou --  God in the heavens? yea, Thou art ruling over all kingdoms of  the nations, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and there is  none with Thee to station himself. 
14O 020:007 `Art not Thou our God? Thou hast dispossessed the  inhabitants of this land from before Thy people Israel, and  dost give it to the seed of Abraham Thy friend to the age, 
14O 020:008 and they dwell in it, and build to Thee in it a sanctuary  for Thy name, saying, 
14O 020:009 If evil doth come upon us -- sword, judgment, and  pestilence, and famine -- we stand before this house, and  before Thee, for Thy name [is] in this house, and cry unto Thee  out of our distress, and Thou dost hear and save. 
14O 020:010 `And now, lo, sons of Ammon, and Moab, and mount Seir,  whom Thou didst not grant to Israel to go in against in their  coming out of the land of Egypt, for they turned aside from off  them and destroyed them not, 
14O 020:011 and lo, they are recompensing to us -- to come in to drive  us out of Thy possession, that Thou hast caused us to possess. 
14O 020:012 `O our God, dost Thou not execute judgment upon them? for  there is no power in us before this great multitude that hath  come against us, and we know not what we do, but on Thee [are]  our eyes.' 
14O 020:013 And all Judah are standing before Jehovah, also their  infants, their wives, and their sons. 
14O 020:014 And upon Jahaziel, son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son  of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph,  hath the Spirit of Jehovah been, in the midst of the assembly, 
14O 020:015 and he saith, `Attend, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of  Jerusalem, and O king Jehoshaphat, Thus said Jehovah to you, Ye  fear not, nor are afraid of the face of this great multitude,  for not for you [is] the battle, but for God. 
14O 020:016 To-morrow, go ye down against them, lo, they are coming up  by the ascent of Ziz, and ye have found them in the end of the  valley, the front of the wilderness of Jeruel. 
14O 020:017 Not for you to fight in this; station yourselves, stand,  and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and  Jerusalem -- be not afraid nor fear ye -- to-morrow go out  before them, and Jehovah [is] with you.' 
14O 020:018 And Jehoshaphat boweth -- face to the earth -- and all  Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have fallen before  Jehovah, to bow themselves to Jehovah. 
14O 020:019 And the Levites, of the sons of the Kohathites, and of the  sons of the Korhites, rise to give praise to Jehovah, God of  Israel, with a loud voice on high. 
14O 020:020 And they rise early in the morning, and go out to the  wilderness of Tekoa, and in their going out Jehoshaphat hath  stood and saith, `Hear me, O Judah, and inhabitants of  Jerusalem, remain stedfast in Jehovah your God, and be  stedfast; remain stedfast in His prophets, and prosper.' 
14O 020:021 And he taketh counsel with the people, and appointeth  singers to Jehovah, and those giving praise to the honour of  holiness, in the going out before the armed [men], and saying,  `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, for to the age [is] His kindness.' 
14O 020:022 And at the time they have begun with singing and praise,  Jehovah hath put ambushments against the sons of Ammon, Moab,  and mount Seir, who are coming in to Judah, and they are  smitten, 
14O 020:023 and the sons of Ammon stand up, and Moab, against the  inhabitants of mount Seir, to devote and to destroy, and at  their finishing with the inhabitants of Seir, they helped, a  man against his neighbour, to destroy. 
14O 020:024 And Judah hath come in unto the watch-tower, to the  wilderness, and they look unto the multitude, and lo, they  [are] carcases fallen to the earth, and there is none escaped, 
14O 020:025 and Jehoshaphat cometh in, and his people, to seize their  spoil, and they find among them, in abundance, both goods and  carcases, and desirable vessels, and they take spoil to  themselves without prohibition, and they are three days seizing  the spoil, for it [is] abundant. 
14O 020:026 And on the fourth day they have been assembled at the  valley of Blessing, for there they blessed Jehovah: therefore  they have called the name of that place, `Valley of Blessing,'  unto this day. 
14O 020:027 And they turn back, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and  Jehoshaphat at their head, to go back unto Jerusalem with joy,  for Jehovah hath made them rejoice over their enemies. 
14O 020:028 And they come in to Jerusalem with psalteries, and with  harps, and with trumpets, unto the house of Jehovah. 
14O 020:029 And there is a fear of God on all kingdoms of the lands in  their hearing that Jehovah hath fought with the enemies of  Israel, 
14O 020:030 and the kingdom of Jehoshaphat is quiet, and his God  giveth rest to him round about. 
14O 020:031 And Jehoshaphat reigneth over Judah, a son of thirty and  five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath  reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah  daughter of Shilhi. 
14O 020:032 And he walketh in the way of his father Asa, and hath not  turned aside from it, to do that which is right in the eyes of  Jehovah. 
14O 020:033 Only, the high places have not turned aside, and still the  people have not prepared their heart for the God of their  fathers. 
14O 020:034 And the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, the first and  the last, lo, they are written among the matters of Jehu son of  Hanani, who hath been mentioned on the book of the kings of  Israel. 
14O 020:035 And after this hath Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined  himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, (he did wickedly in [so]  doing), 
14O 020:036 and he joineth him with himself to make ships to go to  Tarshish, and they make ships in Ezion-Geber, 
14O 020:037 and prophesy doth Eliezer son of Dodavah, of Mareshah,  against Jehoshaphat, saying, `For thy joining thyself with  Ahaziah, Jehovah hath broken up thy works;' and the ships are  broken, and have not retained [power] to go unto Tarshish. 
14O 021:001 And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with  his fathers in the city of David, and Jehoram his son reigneth  in his stead. 
14O 021:002 And he hath brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and  Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and  Shephatiah; all these [are] sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel, 
14O 021:003 and their father giveth to them many gifts of silver and of  gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah, and  the kingdom he hath given to Jehoram, for He [is] the  first-born. 
14O 021:004 And Jehoram riseth up over the kingdom of his father, and  strengtheneth himself, and slayeth all his brethren with the  sword, and also -- of the heads of Israel. 
14O 021:005 A son of thirty and two years [is] Jehoram in his reigning,  and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, 
14O 021:006 and he walketh in the way of the kings of Israel, as did  the house of Ahab, for a daughter of Ahab hath been to him for  a wife, and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, 
14O 021:007 and Jehovah hath not been willing to destroy the house of  David, for the sake of the covenant that He made with David,  and as He had said to give to him a lamp, and to his sons --  all the days. 
14O 021:008 In his days hath Edom revolted from under the hand of  Judah, and cause a king to reign over them; 
14O 021:009 and Jehoram passeth over with his heads, and all the  chariots with him, and it cometh to pass, he hath risen by  night and smiteth the Edomites who are coming round against  him, and the princes of the chariots, 
14O 021:010 and Edom revolteth from under the hand of Judah unto this  day; then doth Libnah revolt at that time from under his hand,  because he hath forsaken Jehovah, God of his fathers, 
14O 021:011 also, he hath made high places in the mountains of Judah,  and causeth the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit whoredom,  and compelleth Judah. 
14O 021:012 And there cometh in unto him a writing from Elijah the  prophet, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father,  Because that thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat  thy father, and in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 
14O 021:013 and thou dost walk in the way of the kings of Israel, and  dost cause Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit  whoredom like the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also thy  brethren, the house of thy father, who are better than thyself,  thou hast slain; 
14O 021:014 lo, Jehovah is smiting -- a great smiting -- among thy  people, and among thy sons, and among thy wives, and among all  thy goods -- 
14O 021:015 and thou, with many sicknesses, with disease of thy  bowels, till thy bowels come out, by the sickness, day by day.' 
14O 021:016 And Jehovah waketh up against Jehoram the spirit of the  Philistines, and of the Arabians, who [are] beside the Cushim, 
14O 021:017 and they come up into Judah, and rend it, and take captive  all the substance that is found at the house of the king, and  also his sons, and his wives, and there hath not been left to  him a son except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons. 
14O 021:018 And after all this hath Jehovah plagued him in his bowels  by a disease for which there is no healing, 
14O 021:019 and it cometh to pass, from days to days, and at the time  of the going out of the end of two years, his bowels have gone  out with his sickness, and he dieth of sore diseases, and his  people have not made for him a burning like the burning of his  fathers. 
14O 021:020 A son of thirty and two [years] was he in his reigning,  and eight years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he goeth  without desire, and they bury him in the city of David, and not  in the graves of the kings. 
14O 022:001 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest  son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop  slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp,) and Ahaziah  son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth. 
14O 022:002 A son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning,  and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his  mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri; 
14O 022:003 he also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for  his mother hath been his counsellor to do wickedly. 
14O 022:004 And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the  house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the  death of his father, for destruction to him. 
14O 022:005 Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with  Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael  king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram; 
14O 022:006 and he turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the  wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his  fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram  king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in  Jezreel, for he [is] sick; 
14O 022:007 and from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come  unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram  unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off the  house of Ahab. 
14O 022:008 And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with  the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons  of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth  them. 
14O 022:009 And he seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is  hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put  him to death, and bury him, for they said, `He [is] son of  Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there  is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the  kingdom. 
14O 022:010 And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is  dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the  kingdom of the house of Judah. 
14O 022:011 And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of  Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the  king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into  the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter  of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath  been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah,  and she hath not put him to death. 
14O 022:012 And he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six  years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land. 
14O 023:001 And in the seventh year hath Jehoiada strengthened himself,  and taketh the heads of the hundreds, even Azariah son of  Jeroham, and Ishmael son of Jehohanan, and Azariah son of Obed,  and Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zichri, with  him into covenant. 
14O 023:002 And they go round about in Judah, and gather the Levites  out of all the cities of Judah, and heads of the fathers of  Israel, and come in unto Jerusalem, 
14O 023:003 and all the assembly make a covenant in the house of God  with the king, and he saith to them, `Lo, the son of the king  doth reign, as Jehovah spake concerning the sons of David. 
14O 023:004 `This [is] the thing that ye do: The third of you, going in  on the sabbath, of the priests, and of the Levites, [are] for  gatekeepers of the thresholds, 
14O 023:005 and the third [are] at the house of the king, and the third  at the gate of the foundation, and all the people [are] in the  courts of the house of Jehovah. 
14O 023:006 `And none doth enter the house of Jehovah except the  priests, and those ministering of the Levites (they go in for  they [are] holy), and all the people keep the watch of Jehovah: 
14O 023:007 and the Levites have compassed the king round about, each  with his weapon in his hand, and he who hath gone in unto the  house is put to death; and be ye with the king in his coming in  and in his going out.' 
14O 023:008 And the Levites and all Judah do according to all that  Jehoiada the priest hath commanded, and take each his men going  in on the sabbath, with those going out on the sabbath, for  Jehoiada the priest hath not let away the courses. 
14O 023:009 And Jehoiada the priest giveth to the heads of the hundreds  the spears, and the shields, and the bucklers that [are] king  David's, that [are] in the house of God; 
14O 023:010 and he stationeth the whole of the people, and each his  dart in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house unto the  left shoulder of the house, at the altar, and at the house, by  the king, round about. 
14O 023:011 And they bring out the son of the king, and put upon him  the crown, and the testimony, and cause him to reign; and  Jehoiada and his sons anoint him, and say, `Let the king live!' 
14O 023:012 And Athaliah heareth the voice of the people who are  running, and who are praising the king, and she cometh in unto  the people in the house of Jehovah, 
14O 023:013 and seeth, and lo, the king is standing by his pillar in  the entrance, and the heads, and the trumpets [are] by the  king, and all the people of the land rejoicing and shouting  with trumpets, and the singers with instruments of song, and  the teachers, to praise, and Athaliah rendeth her garments, and  saith, `Conspiracy, conspiracy.' 
14O 023:014 And Jehoiada the priest bringeth out the heads of the  hundreds, inspectors of the force, and saith unto them, `Take  her out from within the rows, and he who hath gone after her is  put to death by the sword;' for the priest said, `Put her not  to death [in] the house of Jehovah.' 
14O 023:015 And they make for her sides, and she cometh in unto the  entrance of the gate of the horses at the house of the king,  and they put her to death there. 
14O 023:016 And Jehoiada maketh a covenant between him, and between  all the people, and between the king, to be for a people to  Jehovah; 
14O 023:017 and all the people enter the house of Baal, and break it  down, yea, his altars and his images they have broken, and  Mattan priest of Baal they have slain before the altars. 
14O 023:018 And Jehoiada putteth the offices of the house of Jehovah  into the hand of the priests the Levites whom David had  apportioned over the house of Jehovah, to cause to ascend the  burnt-offerings of Jehovah, as written in the law of Moses,  with joy, and with singing, by the hands of David; 
14O 023:019 and he stationeth the gatekeepers over the gates of the  house of Jehovah, and the unclean in anything doth not go in. 
14O 023:020 And he taketh the heads of the hundreds, and the  honourable ones, and the rulers among the people, and all the  people of the land, and bringeth down the king from the house  of Jehovah, and they come in through the high gate to the house  of the king, and cause the king to sit on the throne of the  kingdom. 
14O 023:021 And all the people of the land rejoice, and the city hath  been quiet, and Athaliah they have put to death by the sword. 
14O 024:001 A son of seven years [is] Joash in his reigning, and forty  years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother  [is] Zibiah of Beer-Sheba. 
14O 024:002 And Joash doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah  all the days of Jehoiada the priest. 
14O 024:003 And Jehoiada taketh for him two wives, and he begetteth  sons and daughters. 
14O 024:004 And it cometh to pass after this, it hath been with the  heart of Joash to renew the house of Jehovah, 
14O 024:005 and he gathereth the priests and the Levites, and saith to  them, `Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all  Israel money to strengthen the house of your God sufficiently  year by year, and ye, ye do haste to the matter;' and the  Levites have not hasted. 
14O 024:006 And the king calleth for Jehoiada the head, and saith to  him, `Wherefore hast thou not required of the Levites to bring  in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the tribute of Moses,  servant of Jehovah, and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent  of the testimony? 
14O 024:007 for sons of Athaliah, the wicked one, have broken up the  house of God, and also, all the holy things of the house of  Jehovah they have prepared for Baalim.' 
14O 024:008 And the king speaketh, and they make one chest, and put it  at the gate of the house of Jehovah without, 
14O 024:009 and give an intimation in Judah and in Jerusalem to bring  in to Jehovah the tribute of Moses, servant of God, [laid] on  Israel in the wilderness. 
14O 024:010 And all the heads, and all the people rejoice, and they  bring in, and cast into the chest, unto completion. 
14O 024:011 And it cometh to pass, at the time one bringeth in the  chest for the inspection of the king by the hand of the  Levites, and at their seeing that the money [is] abundant, that  a scribe of the king hath come in, and an officer of the  head-priest, and they empty the chest, and take it up and turn  it back unto its place; thus they have done day by day, and  gather money in abundance. 
14O 024:012 And the king and Jehoiada give it unto the doers of the  work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and they are  hiring hewers and artificers to renew the house of Jehovah, and  also -- to artificers in iron and brass to strengthen the house  of Jehovah. 
14O 024:013 And those doing the business work, and there goeth up  lengthening to the work by their hand, and they establish the  house of God, by its proper measure, and strengthen it. 
14O 024:014 And at their completing [it], they have brought in before  the king and Jehoiada the rest of the money, and they make it  vessels for the house of Jehovah, vessels of serving, and of  offering up, and spoons, even vessels of gold and silver; and  they are causing burnt-offerings to ascend in the house of  Jehovah continually, all the days of Jehoiada. 
14O 024:015 And Jehoiada is aged and satisfied with days, and dieth --  a son of a hundred and thirty years in his death, 
14O 024:016 and they bury him in the city of David, with the kings,  for he hath done good in Israel, and with God, and his house. 
14O 024:017 And after the death of Jehoiada come in have heads of  Judah, and bow themselves to the king; then hath the king  hearkened unto them, 
14O 024:018 and they forsake the house of Jehovah, God of their  fathers, and serve the shrines and the idols, and there is  wrath upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their guilt. 
14O 024:019 And He sendeth among them prophets, to bring them back  unto Jehovah, and they testify against them, and they have not  given ear; 
14O 024:020 and the Spirit of God hath clothed Zechariah son of  Jehoiada the priest, and he standeth over-against the people,  and saith to them, `Thus said God, Why are ye transgressing the  commands of Jehovah, and prosper not? because ye have forsaken  Jehovah -- He doth forsake you.' 
14O 024:021 And they conspire against him, and stone him with stones  by the command of the king, in the court of the house of  Jehovah, 
14O 024:022 and Joash the king hath not remembered the kindness that  Jehoiada his father did with him, and slayeth his son, and in  his death he said, `Jehovah doth see, and require.' 
14O 024:023 And it cometh to pass, at the turn of the year, come up  hath the force of Aram against him, and they come in unto Judah  and Jerusalem, and destroy all the heads of the people from the  people, and all their spoil they have sent to the king of  Damascus, 
14O 024:024 for with few men have the force of Aram come in, and  Jehovah hath given into their hand a mighty force for  multitude, because they have forsaken Jehovah, God of their  fathers; and with Joash they have executed judgments. 
14O 024:025 And in their going from him -- for they left him with many  diseases -- his servants themselves have conspired against him,  for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slay him  on his bed, and he dieth; and they bury him in the city of  David, and have not buried him in the graves of the kings. 
14O 024:026 And these [are] those conspiring against him, Zabad son of  Shimeath the Ammonitess, and Jehozabad son of Shimrith the  Moabitess. 
14O 024:027 As to his sons, and the greatness of the burden upon him,  and the foundation of the house of God, lo, they are written on  the `Inquiry' of the book of the Kings; and reign doth Amaziah  his son in his stead. 
14O 025:001 A son of twenty and five years hath Amaziah reigned, and  twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the  name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem, 
14O 025:002 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah --  only, not with a perfect heart. 
14O 025:003 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong  upon him, that he slayeth his servants, those smiting the king  his father, 
14O 025:004 and their sons he hath not put to death, but [did] as is  written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah  commanded, saying, `Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die  not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.' 
14O 025:005 And Amaziah gathereth Judah, and appointeth them, according  to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands, and  for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he  inspecteth them from a son of twenty years and upward, and  findeth them three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to  the host, holding spear and target. 
14O 025:006 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones  of valour, with a hundred talents of silver; 
14O 025:007 and a man of God hath come in unto him, saying, `O king,  the host of Israel doth not go with thee; for Jehovah is not  with Israel -- all the sons of Ephraim; 
14O 025:008 but if thou art going -- do [it], be strong for battle, God  doth cause thee to stumble before an enemy, for there is power  in God to help, and to cause to stumble.' 
14O 025:009 And Amaziah saith to the man of God, `And what -- to do for  the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?'  And the man of God saith, `Jehovah hath more to give to thee  than this.' 
14O 025:010 And Amaziah separateth them -- for the troop that hath  come in unto him from Ephraim to go to their own place, and  their anger doth burn mightily against Judah, and they turn  back to their place in the heat of anger. 
14O 025:011 And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his  people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons  of Seir -- ten thousand. 
14O 025:012 And ten thousand alive have the sons of Judah taken  captive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast  them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been  broken. 
14O 025:013 And the sons of the troop that Amaziah hath sent back from  going with him to battle -- they rush against cities of Judah,  from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon, and smite of them three  thousand, and seize much prey. 
14O 025:014 And it cometh to pass, after the coming in of Amaziah from  smiting the Edomites, that he bringeth in the gods of the sons  of Seir, and establisheth them to him for gods, and before them  doth bow himself, and to them he maketh perfume. 
14O 025:015 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He  sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, `Why hast  thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered  their people out of thy hand?' 
14O 025:016 And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he  saith to him, `For a counsellor to the king have we appointed  thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet  ceaseth, and saith, `I have known that God hath counselled to  destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not  hearkened to my counsel.' 
14O 025:017 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto  Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, 
14O 025:018 `Come, we look one another in the face.' And Joash king of  Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, `The thorn  that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in  Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and  pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and  treadeth down the thorn. 
14O 025:019 Thou hast said, Lo, I have smitten Edom; and thy heart  hath lifted thee up to boast; now, abide in thy house, why dost  thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and  Judah with thee?' 
14O 025:020 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it [is] in  order to give them into hand, because they have sought the gods  of Edom; 
14O 025:021 and go up doth Joash king of Israel, and they look one  another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in  Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's, 
14O 025:022 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee -- each  to his tents. 
14O 025:023 And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz,  hath Joash king of Israel caught in Beth-Shemesh, and bringeth  him in to Jerusalem, and breaketh down in the wall of Jerusalem  from the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, four  hundred cubits, 
14O 025:024 and [taketh] all the gold, and the silver, and all the  vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and  the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the  pledges, and turneth back to Samaria. 
14O 025:025 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the  death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years; 
14O 025:026 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the  last, lo, are they not written on the books of the kings of  Judah and Israel? 
14O 025:027 And from the time that Amaziah hath turned aside from  after Jehovah -- they make a conspiracy against him in  Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to  Lachish, and put him to death there, 
14O 025:028 and lift him up on the horses, and bury him with his  fathers in the city of Judah. 
14O 026:001 And all the people of Judah take Uzziah (and he [is] a son  of sixteen years), and cause him to reign instead of his father  Amaziah. 
14O 026:002 He hath built Eloth, and restoreth it to Judah after the  king's lying with his fathers. 
14O 026:003 A son of sixteen years [is] Uzziah in his reigning, and  fifty and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name  of his mother [is] Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 
14O 026:004 And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that Amaziah his father did, 
14O 026:005 and he is as one seeking God in the days of Zechariah who  hath understanding in visions of God: and in the days of his  seeking Jehovah, God hath caused him to prosper. 
14O 026:006 And he goeth forth, and fighteth with the Philistines, and  breaketh down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the  wall of Ashdod, and buildeth cities about Ashdod, and among the  Philistines. 
14O 026:007 And God helpeth him against the Philistines, and against  the Arabians who are dwelling in Gur-Baal and the Mehunim. 
14O 026:008 And the Ammonites give a present to Uzziah, and his name  goeth unto the entering in of Egypt, for he strengthened  himself greatly. 
14O 026:009 And Uzziah buildeth towers in Jerusalem, by the gate of the  corner, and by the gate of the valley, and by the angle, and  strengtheneth them; 
14O 026:010 and he buildeth towers in the wilderness, and diggeth many  wells, for he had much cattle, both in the low country and in  the plain, husbandmen and vine-dressers in the mountains, and in  Carmel; for he was a lover of the ground. 
14O 026:011 And Uzziah hath a force, making war, going forth to the  host, by troops, in the number of their reckoning by the hand  of Jeiel the scribe and Masseiah the officer, by the hand of  Hananiah [one] of the heads of the king. 
14O 026:012 The whole number of heads of the fathers of the mighty  ones of valour [is] two thousand and six hundred; 
14O 026:013 and by their hand [is] the force of the host, three  hundred thousand, and seven thousand, and five hundred  warriors, with mighty power to give help to the king against  the enemy. 
14O 026:014 And Uzziah prepareth for them, for all the host, shields,  and spears, and helmets, and coats of mail, and bows, even to  stones of the slings. 
14O 026:015 And he maketh in Jerusalem inventions -- a device of an  inventor -- to be on the towers, and on the corners, to shoot  with arrows and with great stones, and his name goeth out unto  a distance, for he hath been wonderfully helped till that he  hath been strong. 
14O 026:016 And at his being strong his heart hath been high unto  destruction, and he trespasseth against Jehovah his God, and  goeth in unto the temple of Jehovah to make perfume upon the  altar of perfume. 
14O 026:017 And Azariah the priest goeth in after him, and with him  priests of Jehovah eighty, sons of valour, 
14O 026:018 and they stand up against Uzziah the king, and say to him,  `Not for thee, O Uzziah, to make perfume to Jehovah, but for  priests, sons of Aaron, who are sanctified to make perfume; go  forth from the sanctuary, for thou hast trespassed, and [it is]  not to thee for honour from Jehovah God.' 
14O 026:019 And Uzziah is wroth, and in his hand [is] a censer to make  perfume, and in his being wroth with the priests -- the leprosy  hath risen in his forehead, before the priests, in the house of  Jehovah, from beside the altar of perfume. 
14O 026:020 And Azariah the head priest looketh unto him, and all the  priests, and lo, he [is] leprous in his forehead, and they  hasten him thence, and also he himself hath hastened to go out,  for Jehovah hath plagued him. 
14O 026:021 And Uzziah the king is a leper unto the day of his death,  and inhabiteth a separate house -- a leper, for he hath been  cut off from the house of Jehovah, and Jotham his son [is] over  the house of the king, judging the people of the land. 
14O 026:022 And the rest of the matters of Uzziah, the first and the  last, hath Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet written; 
14O 026:023 and Uzziah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him with  his fathers, in the field of the burying-place that the kings  have, for they said, `He [is] a leper;' and reign doth Jotham  his son in his stead. 
14O 027:001 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jotham in his reigning,  and sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of  his mother [is] Jerushah daughter of Zadok. 
14O 027:002 And he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that Uzziah his father did; only, he hath not  come in unto the temple of Jehovah; and again are the people  doing corruptly. 
14O 027:003 He hath built the upper gate of the house of Jehovah, and  in the wall of Ophel he hath built abundantly; 
14O 027:004 and cities he hath built in the hill-country of Judah, and  in the forests he hath built palaces and towers. 
14O 027:005 And he hath fought with the king of the sons of Ammon, and  prevaileth over them, and the sons of Ammon give to him in that  year a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand cors of  wheat, and of barley ten thousand; this have the sons of Ammon  returned to him both in the second year, and in the third. 
14O 027:006 And Jotham doth strengthen himself, for he hath prepared  his ways before Jehovah his God. 
14O 027:007 And the rest of the matters of Jotham, and all his battles,  and his ways, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of  Israel and Judah. 
14O 027:008 A son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and  sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem; 
14O 027:009 and Jotham lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the  city of David, and reign doth Ahaz his son in his stead. 
14O 028:001 A son of twenty years [is] Ahaz in his reigning, and  sixteen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he hath not  done that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, as David his  father, 
14O 028:002 and walketh in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also,  molten images hath made for Baalim, 
14O 028:003 and himself hath made perfume in the valley of the son of  Hinnom, and burneth his sons with fire according to the  abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the  presence of the sons of Israel, 
14O 028:004 and sacrificeth and maketh perfume in high places, and on  the heights, and under every green tree. 
14O 028:005 And Jehovah his God giveth him into the hand of the king of  Aram, and they smite him, and take captive from him a great  captivity, and bring [them] in to Damascus, and also into the  hand of the king of Israel he hath been given, and he smiteth  him -- a great smiting. 
14O 028:006 And Pekah son of Remaliah slayeth in Judah a hundred and  twenty thousand in one day (the whole [are] sons of valour),  because of their forsaking Jehovah, God of their fathers. 
14O 028:007 And Zichri, a mighty one of Ephraim, slayeth Maaseiah son  of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah  second to the king. 
14O 028:008 And the sons of Israel take captive of their brethren, two  hundred thousand, wives, sons and daughters, and also much  spoil they have seized from them, and they bring in the spoil  to Samaria. 
14O 028:009 And there hath been there a prophet of Jehovah (Oded [is]  his name), and he goeth out before the host that hath come in  to Samaria, and saith to them, `Lo, in the fury of Jehovah God  of your fathers against Judah, He hath given them into your  hand, and ye slay among them in rage -- unto the heavens it  hath come; 
14O 028:010 and now, sons of Judah and Jerusalem ye are saying to  subdue for men-servants and for maid-servants to you; but are  there not with you causes of guilt before Jehovah your God? 
14O 028:011 and now, hear me, and send back the captives whom ye have  taken captive of your brethren, for the heat of the anger of  Jehovah [is] upon you.' 
14O 028:012 And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah  son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah  son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those  coming in from the host, 
14O 028:013 and say to them, `Ye do not bring in the captives hither,  for, to guilt against Jehovah on us, ye are saying to add unto  our sin and unto our guilt? for abundant [is] the guilt we  have, and the fierceness of anger on Israel.' 
14O 028:014 And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before  the heads and all the assembly; 
14O 028:015 and the men who have been expressed by name rise and take  hold on the captives, and all their naked ones they have  clothed from the spoil, yea, they clothe them, and shoe them,  and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them  on asses, even every feeble one, and bring them in to Jericho,  the city of palms, near their brethren, and turn back to  Samaria. 
14O 028:016 At that time hath king Ahaz sent unto the king of Asshur  to give help to him; 
14O 028:017 and again the Edomites have come, and smite in Judah, and  take captive a captivity. 
14O 028:018 And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the  low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture  Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its  villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its  villages, and dwell there, 
14O 028:019 for Jehovah hath humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of  Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass  against Jehovah. 
14O 028:020 And Tilgath-Pilneser king of Asshur cometh in unto him,  and doth distress him, and hath not strengthened him, 
14O 028:021 though Ahaz hath taken a portion [out] of the house of  Jehovah, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the  princes, and giveth to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to  him. 
14O 028:022 And in the time of his distress -- he addeth to trespass  against Jehovah, (this king Ahaz), 
14O 028:023 and he sacrificeth to the gods of Damascus -- those  smiting him, and saith, `Because the gods of the kings of Aram  are helping them, to them I sacrifice, and they help me,' and  they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to all  Israel. 
14O 028:024 And Ahaz gathereth the vessels of the house of God, and  cutteth in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shutteth  the doors of the house of Jehovah, and maketh to himself altars  in every corner in Jerusalem. 
14O 028:025 And in every city and city of Judah he hath made high  places to make perfume to other gods, and provoketh Jehovah,  God of his fathers. 
14O 028:026 And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first  and the last, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of  Judah and Israel. 
14O 028:027 And Ahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the  city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him in to the graves  of the kings of Israel, and reign doth Hezekiah his son in his  stead. 
14O 029:001 Hezekiah hath reigned -- a son of twenty and five years,  and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the  name of his mother [is] Abijah daughter of Zechariah; 
14O 029:002 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that David his father did. 
14O 029:003 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month,  hath opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and  strengtheneth them, 
14O 029:004 and bringeth in the priests and the Levites, and gathereth  them to the broad place to the east. 
14O 029:005 And he saith to them, `Hear me, O Levites, now, sanctify  yourselves, and sanctify the house of Jehovah, God of your  fathers, and bring out the impurity from the sanctuary, 
14O 029:006 for our fathers have trespassed, and done that which is  evil in the eyes of Jehovah our God, and forsake him, and turn  round their faces from the tabernacle of Jehovah, and give the  neck. 
14O 029:007 `Also -- they have shut the doors of the porch, and quench  the lamps, and perfume they have not made, and burnt-offering  have not caused to ascend in the sanctuary to the God of  Israel, 
14O 029:008 and the wrath of Jehovah is on Judah and Jerusalem, and He  giveth them for a trembling, for an astonishment, and for a  hissing, as ye are seeing with your eyes. 
14O 029:009 And lo, fallen have our fathers by the sword, and our sons,  and our daughters, and our wives [are] in captivity for this. 
14O 029:010 `Now -- with my heart -- to make a covenant before  Jehovah, God of Israel, and the fierceness of His anger doth  turn back from us. 
14O 029:011 My sons, be not now at rest, for on you hath Jehovah fixed  to stand before Him, to serve Him, and to be to Him ministering  and making perfume.' 
14O 029:012 And the Levites rise -- Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son  of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathite; and of the sons of  Merari: Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehalelel; and of  the Gershonite: Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah; 
14O 029:013 and of the sons of Elizaphan: Shimri, and Jeiel; and of  the sons of Asaph: Zechariah and Mattaniah; 
14O 029:014 and of the sons of Heman: Jehiel and Shimei; and of the  sons of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel -- 
14O 029:015 and they gather their brethren, and sanctify themselves,  and come in, according to the command of the king in the  matters of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah, 
14O 029:016 and the priests come in to the inner part of the house of  Jehovah to cleanse [it], and bring out all the uncleanness that  they have found in the temple of Jehovah to the court of the  house of Jehovah, and the Levites receive [it], to take [it]  out to the brook Kidron without. 
14O 029:017 And they begin on the first of the first month to  sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month they have come to  the porch of Jehovah, and they sanctify the house of Jehovah in  eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they  have finished. 
14O 029:018 And they come in within unto Hezekiah the king, and say,  `We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of  the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and the table of the  arrangement, and all its vessels, 
14O 029:019 and all the vessels that king Ahaz cast away in his reign  -- in his trespass -- we have prepared and sanctified, and lo,  they [are] before the altar of Jehovah.' 
14O 029:020 And Hezekiah the king riseth early, and gathereth the  heads of the city, and goeth up to the house of Jehovah; 
14O 029:021 and they bring in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and  seven lambs, and seven young he-goats, for a sin-offering for  the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah; and he saith  to sons of Aaron, the priests, to cause [them] to ascend on the  altar of Jehovah. 
14O 029:022 And they slaughter the oxen, and the priests receive the  blood, and sprinkle on the altar; and they slaughter the rams,  and sprinkle the blood on the altar; and they slaughter the  lambs, and sprinkle the blood on the altar; 
14O 029:023 and they bring nigh the he-goats of the sin-offering  before the king and the assembly, and they lay their hands upon  them; 
14O 029:024 and the priests slaughter them, and make a sin-offering  with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all  Israel, for `For all Israel,' said the king, `[is] the  burnt-offering and the sin-offering.' 
14O 029:025 And he appointeth the Levites in the house of Jehovah with  cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, by the command of  David, and of Gad, seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet,  for by the hand of Jehovah [is] the command, by the hand of His  prophets; 
14O 029:026 and the Levites stand with the instruments of David, and  the priests with the trumpets. 
14O 029:027 And Hezekiah saith to cause the burnt-offering to ascend  on the altar; and at the time the burnt-offering began -- began  the song of Jehovah, and the trumpets, even by the hands of the  instruments of David king of Israel. 
14O 029:028 And all the assembly are doing obeisance, and the singers  singing, and the trumpeters blowing; the whole [is] till the  completion of the burnt-offering. 
14O 029:029 And at the completion of the offering up bowed have the  king and all those found with him, and do obeisance. 
14O 029:030 And Hezekiah the king saith, and the princes, to the  Levites to give praise to Jehovah in the words of David, and of  Asaph the seer, and they praise -- unto joy, and they bow, and  do obeisance. 
14O 029:031 And Hezekiah answereth and saith, `Now ye have filled your  hand to Jehovah, come nigh, and bring in sacrifices and  thank-offerings to the house of Jehovah;' and the assembly  bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings, and every  willing-hearted one -- burnt-offerings. 
14O 029:032 And the number of the burnt-offerings that the assembly  have brought in, is seventy oxen, a hundred rams, lambs two  hundred; for a burnt-offering to Jehovah [are] all these. 
14O 029:033 And the sanctified things [are] oxen six hundred, and  sheep three thousand. 
14O 029:034 Only, the priests have become few, and have not been able  to strip the whole of the burnt-offerings, and their brethren  the Levites strengthen them till the completion of the work,  and till the priests sanctify themselves, for the Levites [are]  more upright of heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. 
14O 029:035 And also, burnt-offerings [are] in abundance, with fat of  the peace-offerings, and with oblations for the burnt-offering;  and the service of the house of Jehovah is established, 
14O 029:036 and rejoice doth Hezekiah and all the people, because of  God's giving preparation to the people, for the thing hath been  suddenly. 
14O 030:001 And Hezekiah sendeth unto all Israel and Judah, and also  letters he hath written unto Ephraim and Manasseh, to come in  to the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, to make a passover to  Jehovah, God of Israel. 
14O 030:002 And the king taketh counsel, and his heads, and all the  assembly in Jerusalem, to make the passover in the second  month, 
14O 030:003 for they have not been able to make it at that time, for  the priests have not sanctified themselves sufficiently, and  the people have not been gathered to Jerusalem. 
14O 030:004 And the thing is right in the eyes of the king, and in the  eyes of all the assembly, 
14O 030:005 and they establish the thing, to cause to pass over an  intimation into all Israel, from Beer-Sheba even unto Dan, to  come in to make a passover to Jehovah, God of Israel, in  Jerusalem, for not for a long time had they done as it is  written. 
14O 030:006 And the runners go with letters from the hand of the king  and his heads, into all Israel and Judah, even according to the  command of the king, saying, `O sons of Israel, turn back unto  Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and He doth turn  back unto the escaped part that is left of you from the hand of  the kings of Asshur; 
14O 030:007 and do not be like your fathers, and like your brethren,  who trespassed against Jehovah, God of their fathers, and He  giveth them to desolation, as ye do see. 
14O 030:008 `Now, harden not your neck like your fathers, give a hand  to Jehovah, and come in to His sanctuary, that He hath  sanctified to the age, and serve Jehovah your God, and the  fierceness of His anger doth turn back from you; 
14O 030:009 for in your turning back unto Jehovah, your brethren and  your sons have mercies before their captors, even to return to  this land, for gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah your God, and  He doth not turn aside the face from you, if ye turn back unto  Him.' 
14O 030:010 And the runners are passing over from city to city, in the  land of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun: and they are  laughing at them, and mocking at them, 
14O 030:011 only, certain from Asher, and Manasseh, and from Zebulun,  have been humbled, and come in to Jerusalem. 
14O 030:012 Also, in Judah hath the hand of God been to give to them  one heart to do the command of the king and of the heads, in  the matter of Jehovah; 
14O 030:013 and much people are gathered to Jerusalem, to make the  feast of unleavened things in the second month -- a mighty  assembly for multitude. 
14O 030:014 And they arise and turn aside the altars that [are] in  Jerusalem, and all the perfume altars they have turned aside,  and cast [them] to the brook Kidron; 
14O 030:015 and they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth  of the second month, and the priests and the Levites have been  ashamed, and sanctify themselves, and bring in burnt-offerings  to the house of Jehovah. 
14O 030:016 And they stand on their station according to their  ordinance; according to the law of Moses the man of God the  priests are sprinkling the blood out of the hand of the  Levites, 
14O 030:017 for many [are] in the assembly who have not sanctified  themselves, and the Levites [are] over the slaughtering of the  passover-offerings for every one not clean, to sanctify [him]  to Jehovah: 
14O 030:018 for a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim and  Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, have not been cleansed, but  have eaten the passover otherwise than it is written; but  Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, `Jehovah, who [is] good, doth  receive atonement for every one 
14O 030:019 who hath prepared his heart to seek God -- Jehovah, God of  his fathers -- yet not according to the cleansing of the  sanctuary;' 
14O 030:020 and Jehovah hearkeneth unto Hezekiah, and healeth the  people. 
14O 030:021 And the sons of Israel, those found in Jerusalem, make the  feast of unleavened things seven days with great joy; and  giving praise to Jehovah day by day are the Levites and the  priests, with instruments of praise before Jehovah. 
14O 030:022 And Hezekiah speaketh unto the heart of all the Levites,  those giving good understanding concerning Jehovah, and they  eat the appointed thing seven days; sacrificing sacrifices of  peace-offerings, and making confession to Jehovah, God of their  fathers. 
14O 030:023 And all the assembly take counsel to keep other seven  days, and they keep seven days [with] joy; 
14O 030:024 for Hezekiah king of Judah hath presented to the assembly  a thousand bullocks, and seven thousand sheep; and the heads  have presented to the assembly bullocks a thousand, and sheep  ten thousand; and priests sanctify themselves in abundance. 
14O 030:025 And all the assembly of Judah rejoice, and the priests,  and the Levites, and all the assembly, those coming in from  Israel, and the sojourners, those coming in from the land of  Israel, and those dwelling in Judah, 
14O 030:026 and there is great joy in Jerusalem; for from the days of  Solomon son of David king of Israel there is not like this in  Jerusalem, 
14O 030:027 and the priests, the Levites, rise and bless the people,  and their voice is heard, and their prayer cometh in to His  holy habitation, to the heavens. 
14O 031:001 And at the completion of all this, gone out have all Israel  who are found present to the cities of Judah, and break the  standing-pillars, and cut down the shrines, and break down the  high places and the altars, out of all Judah and Benjamin, and  in Ephraim and Manasseh, even to completion, and all the sons  of Israel turn back, each to his Possession, to their cities. 
14O 031:002 And Hezekiah appointeth the courses of the priests, and of  the Levites, by their courses, each according to his service,  of the priests and of the Levites, for burnt-offering, and for  peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to give  praise in the gates of the camps of Jehovah. 
14O 031:003 And a portion of the king, from his substance, [is] for  burnt-offerings, for burnt-offerings of the morning, and of the  evening, and the burnt-offerings of sabbaths, and of new moons,  and of appointed seasons, as it is written in the law of  Jehovah. 
14O 031:004 And he saith to the people, to the inhabitants of  Jerusalem, to give the portion of the priests, and of the  Levites, so that they are strengthened in the law of Jehovah; 
14O 031:005 and at the spreading forth of the thing have the sons of  Israel multiplied the first-fruit of corn, new wine, and oil,  and honey, and of all the increase of the field, and the tithe  of the whole in abundance they have brought in. 
14O 031:006 And the sons of Israel and Judah, those dwelling in cities  of Judah, they also a tithe of herd and flock, and a tithe of  the holy things that are sanctified to Jehovah their God, have  brought in, and they give -- heaps, heaps; 
14O 031:007 in the third month they have begun to lay the foundation of  the heaps, and in the seventh month they have finished. 
14O 031:008 And Hezekiah and the heads come in and see the heaps, and  bless Jehovah and His people Israel, 
14O 031:009 and Hezekiah inquireth at the priests and the Levites  concerning the heaps, 
14O 031:010 and Azariah the head priest, of the house of Zadok,  speaketh unto him, and saith, `From the beginning of the  bringing of the heave-offering to the house of Jehovah, [there  is] to eat, and to be satisfied, and to leave abundantly, for  Jehovah hath blessed His people, and that left [is] this  store.' 
14O 031:011 And Hezekiah saith to prepare chambers in the house of  Jehovah, and they prepare, 
14O 031:012 and they bring in the heave-offering, and the tithe, and  the holy things faithfully; and over them is a leader, Conaniah  the Levite, and Shimei his brother [is] second; 
14O 031:013 and Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and  Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath,  and Benaiah, [are] inspectors under the hand of Conaniah and  Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king,  and Azariah leader of the house of God. 
14O 031:014 And Kore son of Imnah the Levite, the gatekeeper at the  east, [is] over the willing-offerings of God, to give the  heave-offering of Jehovah, and the most holy things. 
14O 031:015 And by his hand [are] Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and  Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in cities of the priests,  faithfully to give to their brethren in courses, as the great  so the small, 
14O 031:016 apart from their genealogy, to males from a son of three  years and upward, to every one who hath gone in to the house of  Jehovah, by the matter of a day in its day, for their service  in their charges, according to their courses; 
14O 031:017 and the genealogy of the priests by the house of their  fathers, and of the Levites, from a son of twenty years and  upward, in their charges, in their courses; 
14O 031:018 and to the genealogy among all their infants, their wives,  and their sons, and their daughters to all the congregation,  for in their faithfulness they sanctify themselves in holiness. 
14O 031:019 And to sons of Aaron, the priests, in the fields of the  suburb of their cities, in every city and city, [are] men who  have been defined by name, to give portions to every male among  the priests, and to every one who reckoned himself by genealogy  among the Levites. 
14O 031:020 And Hezekiah doth thus in all Judah, and doth that which  is good, and that which is right, and that which is true,  before Jehovah his God; 
14O 031:021 and in every work that he hath begun for the service of  the house of God, and for the law, and for the command, to seek  to his God, with all his heart he hath wrought and prospered. 
14O 032:001 After these things and this truth, come hath Sennacherib  king of Asshur, yea, he cometh in to Judah, and encampeth  against the cities of the bulwarks, and saith to rend them unto  himself. 
14O 032:002 And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face  [is] to the battle against Jerusalem, 
14O 032:003 and he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones,  to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside  of the city -- and they help him, 
14O 032:004 and much people are gathered, and they stop all the  fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the  land, saying, `Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found  much water?' 
14O 032:005 And he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the  wall that is broken, and causeth [it] to ascend unto the  towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and  strengtheneth Millo, [in] the city of David, and maketh darts  in abundance, and shields. 
14O 032:006 And he putteth heads of war over the people, and gathereth  them unto him, unto the broad place of a gate of the city, and  speaketh unto their heart, saying, 
14O 032:007 `Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be cast down  from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all  the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than  with him. 
14O 032:008 With him [is] an arm of flesh, and with us [is] Jehovah our  God, to help us, and to fight our battles;' and the people are  supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. 
14O 032:009 After this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his  servants to Jerusalem -- and he [is] by Lachish, and all his  power with him -- against Hezekiah king of Judah, and against  all Judah, who [are] in Jerusalem, saying, 
14O 032:010 `Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye  trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem? 
14O 032:011 `Is not Hezekiah persuading you, to give you up to die by  famine, and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God doth deliver us  from the hand of the king of Asshur? 
14O 032:012 Hath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places,  and His altars, and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying,  Before one altar ye bow yourselves, and on it ye make perfume? 
14O 032:013 `Do ye not know what I have done -- I and my fathers -- to  all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the  lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand? 
14O 032:014 Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers  have devoted to destruction [is] he who hath been able to  deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to  deliver you out of my hand? 
14O 032:015 `And, now, let not Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you  thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and  kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand, and from  the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God doth not deliver  you from my hand!' 
14O 032:016 And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God,  and against Hezekiah His servant, 
14O 032:017 and letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah,  God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, `As the gods  of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their  people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver  His people from my hand.' 
14O 032:018 And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish, against  the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten  them, and to trouble them, that they may capture the city, 
14O 032:019 and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the  gods of the peoples of the land -- work of the hands of man. 
14O 032:020 And Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the  prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens, 
14O 032:021 and Jehovah sendeth a messenger, and cutteth off every  mighty one of valour -- both leader and head -- in the camp of  the king of Asshur, and he turneth back with shame of face to  his land, and entereth the house of his god, and those coming  out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword. 
14O 032:022 And Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of  Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur, and from  the hand of all, and He leadeth them round about; 
14O 032:023 and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to  Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and  he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this. 
14O 032:024 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick even unto death, and  he prayeth unto Jehovah, and He speaketh to him, and a wonder  hath appointed for him; 
14O 032:025 and Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed  [done] unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is  wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem; 
14O 032:026 and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he  and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of Jehovah hath  not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah. 
14O 032:027 And Hezekiah hath riches and honour very much, and  treasures he hath made to himself of silver, and of gold, and  of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all  [kinds] of desirable vessels, 
14O 032:028 and storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine,  and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for  stalls; 
14O 032:029 and cities he hath made for himself, and possessions of  flocks and herds in abundance, for God hath given to him very  much substance. 
14O 032:030 And Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the  waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the  city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work; 
14O 032:031 and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those  sending unto him to inquire of the wonder that hath been in the  land, God hath left him to try him, to know all in his heart, 
14O 032:032 And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and his kind  acts, lo, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz  the prophet, on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 
14O 032:033 And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in  the uppermost of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah  and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honour to him at his  death, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead. 
14O 033:001 A son of twelve years is Manasseh in his reigning, and  fifty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem; 
14O 033:002 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the  abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the  presence of the sons of Israel, 
14O 033:003 and he turneth and buildeth the high places that Hezekiah  his father hath broken down, and raiseth altars for Baalim, and  maketh shrines, and boweth himself to all the host of the  heavens, and serveth them. 
14O 033:004 And he hath built altars in the house of Jehovah of which  Jehovah had said, `In Jerusalem is My name to the age.' 
14O 033:005 And he buildeth altars to all the host of the heavens in  the two courts of the house of Jehovah. 
14O 033:006 And he hath caused his sons to pass over through fire in  the valley of the son of Hinnom, and observed clouds and used  enchantments and witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit,  and a wizard; he hath multiplied to do the evil thing in the  eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger. 
14O 033:007 And he placeth the graven image of the idol that he made in  the house of God, of which God said unto David, and unto  Solomon his son, `In this house, and in Jerusalem that I have  chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I put My name to the  age, 
14O 033:008 and I add not to turn aside the foot of Israel from off the  ground that I appointed to your fathers, only, if they watch to  do all that I have commanded them -- to all the law, and the  statutes, and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.' 
14O 033:009 And Manasseh maketh Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem  to err, to do evil above the nations that Jehovah destroyed  from the presence of the sons of Israel. 
14O 033:010 And Jehovah speaketh unto Manasseh and unto his people,  and they have not attended, 
14O 033:011 and Jehovah bringeth in against them the heads of the host  that the king of Asshur hath, and they capture Manasseh among  the thickets, and bind him with brazen fetters, and cause him  to go to Babylon. 
14O 033:012 And when he is in distress he hath appeased the face of  Jehovah his God, and is humbled exceedingly before the God of  his fathers, 
14O 033:013 and prayeth unto Him, and He is entreated of him, and  heareth his supplication, and bringeth him back to Jerusalem,  to his kingdom, and Manasseh knoweth that Jehovah -- He [is]  God. 
14O 033:014 And after this he hath built an outer wall to the city of  David, on the west of Gihon, in the valley, and at the entering  in at the fish-gate, and it hath gone round to the tower, and  he maketh it exceeding high, and he putteth heads of the force  in all the cities of the bulwarks in Judah. 
14O 033:015 And he turneth aside the gods of the stranger, and the  idol, out of the house of Jehovah, and all the altars that he  had built in the mount of the house of Jehovah and in  Jerusalem, and casteth [them] to the outside of the city. 
14O 033:016 And he buildeth the altar of Jehovah, and sacrificeth upon  it sacrifices of peace-offerings and thank-offering, and saith  to Judah to serve Jehovah, God of Israel; 
14O 033:017 but still the people are sacrificing in high places, only  -- to Jehovah their God. 
14O 033:018 And the rest of the matters of Manasseh, and his prayer  unto his God, and the matters of the seers, those speaking unto  him in the name of Jehovah, God of Israel, lo, they are [on the  book of] the matters of the kings of Israel; 
14O 033:019 and his prayer, and his entreaty, and all his sin, and his  trespass, and the places in which he had built high places, and  established the shrines and the graven images before his being  humbled, lo, they are written beside the matters of Hozai. 
14O 033:020 And Manasseh lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in  his own house, and reign doth Amon his son in his stead. 
14O 033:021 A son of twenty and two years [is] Amon in his reigning,  and two years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, 
14O 033:022 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, as did  Manasseh his father, and to all the graven images that Manasseh  his father had made hath Amon sacrificed, and serveth them, 
14O 033:023 and hath not been humbled before Jehovah, like the  humbling of Manasseh his father, for Amon himself hath  multiplied guilt. 
14O 033:024 And his servants conspire against him, and put him to  death in his own house, 
14O 033:025 and the people of the land smite all those conspiring  against king Amon, and the people of the land cause Josiah his  son to reign in his stead. 
14O 034:001 A son of eight years [is] Josiah in his reigning, and  thirty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, 
14O 034:002 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah, and  walketh in the ways of David his father, and hath not turned  aside -- right or left. 
14O 034:003 And in the eighth year of his reign (and he yet a youth),  he hath begun to seek to the God of David his father, and in  the twelfth year he hath begun to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem  from the high places, and the shrines, and the graven images,  and the molten images. 
14O 034:004 And they break down before him the altars of the Baalim,  and the images that [are] on high above them he hath cut down,  and the shrines, and the graven images, and the molten images,  he hath broken and beaten small, and streweth on the surface of  the graves of those sacrificing to them, 
14O 034:005 and the bones of the priests he hath burnt on their altars,  and cleanseth Judah and Jerusalem, 
14O 034:006 and in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon,  even unto Naphtali, with their tools, round about. 
14O 034:007 And he breaketh down the altars and the shrines, and the  graven images he hath beaten down very small, and all the images  he hath cut down in all the land of Israel, and turneth back to  Jerusalem. 
14O 034:008 And in the eighteenth year of his reign, to purify the land  and the house he hath sent Shaphan son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah  head of the city, and Joah son of Johaz the remembrancer, to  strengthen the house of Jehovah his God. 
14O 034:009 And they come in unto Hilkiah the high priest, and they  give the money that is brought in to the house of God, that the  Levites, keeping the threshold, have gathered from the hand of  Manasseh, and Ephraim, and from all the remnant of Israel, and  from all Judah, and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
14O 034:010 and they give [it] into the hand of the workmen, those  appointed over the house of Jehovah, and they give it [to] the  workmen who are working in the house of Jehovah, to repair and  to strengthen the house; 
14O 034:011 and they give [it] to artificers, and to builders, to buy  hewn stones, and wood for couplings and for beams to the houses  that the kings of Judah had destroyed. 
14O 034:012 And the men are working faithfully in the business, and  over them are appointed Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the  sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the  Kohathite, to overlook; and of the Levites, every one  understanding about instruments of song, 
14O 034:013 and over the burden-bearers, and overseers of every one  doing work for service and service; and of the Levites [are]  scribes, and officers, and gatekeepers. 
14O 034:014 And in their bringing out the money that is brought in to  the house of Jehovah, hath Hilkiah the priest found the book of  the law of Jehovah by the hand of Moses, 
14O 034:015 and Hilkiah answereth and saith unto Shaphan the scribe,  `A book of the law I have found in the house of Jehovah;' and  Hilkiah giveth the book unto Shaphan, 
14O 034:016 and Shaphan bringeth in the book unto the king, and  bringeth the king back word again, saying, `All that hath been  given into the hand of thy servants they are doing, 
14O 034:017 and they pour out the money that is found in the house of  Jehovah, and give it into the hand of those appointed, and into  the hands of those doing the work.' 
14O 034:018 And Shaphan the scribe declareth to the king, saying, `A  book hath Hilkiah the priest given to me;' and Shaphan readeth  in it before the king. 
14O 034:019 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of  the law, that he rendeth his garments, 
14O 034:020 and the king commandeth Hilkiah, and Ahikam son of  Shaphan, and Abdon son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and  Asaiah, servant of the king, saying, 
14O 034:021 `Go, seek Jehovah for me, and for him who is left in  Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is  found, for great [is] the fury of Jehovah that is poured on us,  because that our fathers kept not the word of Jehovah, to do  according to all that is written on this book.' 
14O 034:022 And Hilkiah goeth, and they of the king, unto Huldah the  prophetess, wife of Shallum son of Tikvath, son of Hasrah,  keeper of the garments, and she is dwelling in Jerusalem in the  Second, and they speak unto her thus. 
14O 034:023 And she saith to them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel,  Say to the man who hath sent you unto me, 
14O 034:024 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am bringing in evil on this  place, and on its inhabitants, all the execrations that are  written on the book that they read before the king of Judah; 
14O 034:025 because that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to  other gods, so as to provoke Me with all the works of their  hands, and poured out is My fury upon this place, and it is not  quenched. 
14O 034:026 `And unto the king of Judah, who is sending you to inquire  of Jehovah, thus do ye say unto him: Thus said Jehovah God of  Israel, whose words thou hast heard: 
14O 034:027 Because thy heart [is] tender, and thou art humbled before  God in thy hearing His words concerning this place, and  concerning its inhabitants, and art humbled before Me, and dost  rend thy garments, and weep before Me: even I also have heard  -- the affirmation of Jehovah. 
14O 034:028 Lo, I am gathering thee unto thy fathers, and thou hast  been gathered unto thy graves in peace, and thine eyes do not  look on all the evil that I am bringing upon this place, and  upon its inhabitants;' and they bring the king back word. 
14O 034:029 And the king sendeth and gathereth all the elders of Judah  and Jerusalem, 
14O 034:030 and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every  man of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the  priests, and the Levites, even all the people, from great even  unto small, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the  book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah. 
14O 034:031 And the king standeth on his station, and maketh the  covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His  commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his  heart, and with all his soul, to do the words of the covenant  that are written on this book. 
14O 034:032 And he presenteth every one who is found in Jerusalem and  Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem do according to the  covenant of God, the God of their fathers. 
14O 034:033 And Josiah turneth aside all the abominations out of all  the lands that the sons of Israel have, and causeth every one  who is found in Israel to serve, to serve Jehovah their God;  all his days they turned not aside from after Jehovah, God of  their fathers. 
14O 035:001 And Josiah maketh in Jerusalem a passover to Jehovah, and  they slaughter the passover-offering on the fourteenth of the  first month, 
14O 035:002 and he stationeth the priests over their charges, and  strengtheneth them for the service of the house of Jehovah, 
14O 035:003 and saith to the Levites -- who are teaching all Israel --  who are sanctified to Jehovah, `Put the holy ark in the house  that Solomon son of David king of Israel built; it is not to  you a burden on the shoulder. `Now, serve Jehovah your God, and  His people Israel, 
14O 035:004 and prepare, by the house of your fathers, according to  your courses, by the writing of David king of Israel, and by  the writing of Solomon his son, 
14O 035:005 and stand in the sanctuary, by the divisions of the house  of the fathers of your brethren, sons of the people, and the  portion of the house of a father of the Levites, 
14O 035:006 and slaughter the passover-offering and sanctify  yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to  the word of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.' 
14O 035:007 And Josiah lifteth up to the sons of the people a flock of  lambs and young goats, the whole for passover-offerings, for  every one who is found, to the number of thirty thousand, and  oxen three thousand: these [are] from the substance of the  king. 
14O 035:008 And his heads, for a willing-offering to the people, to the  priests, and to the Levites, have lifted up; Hilkiah, and  Zechariah, and Jehiel, leaders in the house of God, to the  priests have given for passover-offerings two thousand and six  hundred, and oxen three hundred; 
14O 035:009 and Conaniah, and Shemaiah, and Nethaneel, his brethren,  and Hashabiah, and Jeiel, and Jozabad, heads of the Levites,  have lifted up to the Levites, for passover-offerings, five  thousand, and oxen five hundred. 
14O 035:010 And the service is prepared, and the priests stand on  their station, and the Levites on their courses, according to  the command of the king, 
14O 035:011 and they slaughter the passover-offering, and the priests  sprinkle out of their hand, and the Levites are striping; 
14O 035:012 and they turn aside the burnt-offering, to put them by the  divisions of the house of the fathers of the sons of the  people, to bring near to Jehovah, as it is written in the book  of Moses -- and so to the oxen. 
14O 035:013 And they cook the passover with fire, according to the  ordinance, and the sanctified things they have cooked in pots,  and in kettles, and in pans -- for all the sons of the people. 
14O 035:014 And afterward they have prepared for themselves, and for  the priests: for the priests, sons of Aaron, [are] in the  offering up of the burnt-offering and of the fat till night;  and the Levites have prepared for themselves, and for the  priests, sons of Aaron. 
14O 035:015 And the singers, sons of Asaph, [are] on their station,  according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and  Jeduthun seer of the king, and the gate keepers [are] at gate  and gate; it is not for them to turn aside from off their  service, for their brethren the Levites have prepared for them. 
14O 035:016 And all the service of Jehovah is prepared on that day, to  keep the passover, and to cause to ascend burnt-offering upon  the altar of Jehovah, according to the command of king Josiah. 
14O 035:017 And the sons of Israel who are found make the passover at  that time, and the feast of unleavened things, seven days. 
14O 035:018 And there hath not been made a passover like it in Israel  from the days of Samuel the prophet, and none of the kings of  Israel made such a passover as Josiah hath made, and the  priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who are  found, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
14O 035:019 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah hath this  passover been made. 
14O 035:020 After all this, when Josiah hath prepared the house, come  up hath Necho king of Egypt, to fight against Carchemish by  Phrat, and Josiah goeth forth to meet him; 
14O 035:021 and he sendeth unto him messengers, saying, `What -- to me  and to thee, O king of Judah? not against thee do I come  to-day, but unto the house with which I have war, and God said  to haste me; cease for thee from God who [is] with me, and He  doth not destroy thee.' 
14O 035:022 And Josiah hath not turned round his face from him, but to  fight against him hath disguised himself, and hath not  hearkened unto the words of Necho, from the mouth of God, and  cometh in to fight in the valley of Megiddo; 
14O 035:023 and the archers shoot at king Josiah, and the king saith  to his servants, `Remove me, for I have become very sick.' 
14O 035:024 And his servants remove him from the chariot, and cause  him to ride on the second chariot that he hath, and cause him  to go to Jerusalem, and he dieth, and is buried in the graves  of his fathers, and all Judah and Jerusalem are mourning for  Josiah, 
14O 035:025 and Jeremiah lamenteth for Josiah, and all the singers and  the songstresses speak in their lamentations of Josiah unto  this day, and set them for a statute on Israel, and lo, they  are written beside the lamentations. 
14O 035:026 And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and his kind acts,  according as it is written in the law of Jehovah, 
14O 035:027 even his matters, the first and the last, lo, they are  written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 
14O 036:001 And the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and  cause him to reign instead of his father in Jerusalem. 
14O 036:002 A son of three and twenty years [is] Jehoahaz in his  reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, 
14O 036:003 and turn him aside doth the king of Egypt in Jerusalem, and  fineth the land a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of  gold; 
14O 036:004 and the king of Egypt causeth Eliakim his brother to reign  over Judah and Jerusalem, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim;  and Jehoahaz his brother hath Necho taken, and bringeth him in  to Egypt. 
14O 036:005 A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his  reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he  doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God; 
14O 036:006 against him hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon come up,  and bindeth him in brazen fetters to take him away to Babylon. 
14O 036:007 And of the vessels of the house of Jehovah hath  Nebuchadnezzar brought in to Babylon, and putteth them in his  temple in Babylon. 
14O 036:008 And the rest of the matters of Jehoiakim, and his  abominations that he hath done, and that which is found against  him, lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel  and Judah, and reign doth Jehoiachin his son in his stead. 
14O 036:009 A son of eight years is Jehoiachin in his reigning, and  three months and ten days he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and he  doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah; 
14O 036:010 and at the turn of the year hath king Nebuchadnezzar sent  and bringeth him in to Babylon, with the desirable vessels of  the house of Jehovah, and causeth Zedekiah his brother to reign  over Judah and Jerusalem. 
14O 036:011 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his  reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem; 
14O 036:012 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah his God,  he hath not been humbled before Jeremiah the prophet [speaking]  from the mouth of Jehovah; 
14O 036:013 and also, against king Nebuchadnezzar he hath rebelled,  who had caused him to swear by God, and he hardeneth his neck,  and strengtheneth his heart, against turning back unto Jehovah,  God of Israel. 
14O 036:014 Also, all the heads of the priests, and the people, having  multiplied to commit a trespass according to all the  abominations of the nations, and they defile the house of  Jehovah that He hath sanctified in Jerusalem. 
14O 036:015 And Jehovah, God of their fathers, sendeth unto them by  the hand of His messengers -- rising early and sending -- for  He hath had pity on His people, and on His habitation, 
14O 036:016 and they are mocking at the messengers of God, and  despising His words, and acting deceitfully with His prophets,  till the going up of the fury of Jehovah against His people --  till there is no healing. 
14O 036:017 And He causeth to go up against them the king of the  Chaldeans, and he slayeth their chosen ones by the sword in the  house of their sanctuary, and hath had no pity on young man and  virgin, old man and very aged -- the whole He hath given into  his hand. 
14O 036:018 And all the vessels of the house of God, the great and the  small, and the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the  treasures of the king and of his princes -- the whole he hath  brought in to Babylon. 
14O 036:019 And they burn the house of God, and break down the wall of  Jerusalem, and all its palaces they have burnt with fire, and  all its desirable vessels -- to destruction. 
14O 036:020 And he removeth those left of the sword unto Babylon, and  they are to him and to his sons for servants, till the reigning  of the kingdom of Persia, 
14O 036:021 to fulfil the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah,  till the land hath enjoyed its sabbaths; all the days of the  desolation it kept sabbath -- to the fulness of seventy years. 
14O 036:022 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the  completion of the word of Jehovah in the mouth of Jeremiah,  hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and  he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and  also in writing, saying, 
14O 036:023 `Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth  hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid  a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is]  in Judah; who is among you of all His people? Jehovah his God  [is] with him, and he doth go up.'  
15O 001:001 And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, at the  completion of the word of Jehovah from the mouth of Jeremiah,  hath Jehovah waked up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and  he causeth an intimation to pass over into all his kingdom, and  also in writing, saying, 
15O 001:002 `Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All kingdoms of the earth  hath Jehovah, God of the heavens, given to me, and He hath laid  a charge on me to build to Him a house in Jerusalem, that [is]  in Judah; 
15O 001:003 who [is] among you of all His people? His God is with him,  and he doth go up to Jerusalem, that [is] in Judah, and build  the house of Jehovah, God of Israel -- He [is] God -- that [is]  in Jerusalem. 
15O 001:004 `And every one who is left, of any of the places where he  [is] a sojourner, assist him do the men of his place with  silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, along  with a free-will offering for the house of God, that [is] in  Jerusalem.' 
15O 001:005 And heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin rise, and the  priests and the Levites, even every one whose spirit God hath  waked, to go up to build the house of Jehovah, that [is] in  Jerusalem; 
15O 001:006 and all those round about them have strengthened [them] with  their hands, with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and  with beasts, and with precious things, apart from all that hath  been offered willingly. 
15O 001:007 And the king Cyrus hath brought out the vessels of the house  of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar hath brought out of Jerusalem,  and putteth them in the house of his gods; 
15O 001:008 yea, Cyrus king of Persia bringeth them out by the hand of  Mithredath the treasurer, and numbereth them to Sheshbazzar the  prince of Judah. 
15O 001:009 And this [is] their number: dishes of gold thirty, dishes of  silver a thousand, knives nine and twenty,

15O 003:004 And they make the feast of the booths as it is written, and  the burnt-offering of the day daily in number according to the  ordinance, the matter of a day in its day; 
15O 003:005 and after this a continual burnt-offering, and for new  moons, and for all appointed seasons of Jehovah that are  sanctified; and for every one who is willingly offering a  willing-offering to Jehovah. 
15O 003:006 From the first day of the seventh month they have begun to  cause burnt-offerings to ascend to Jehovah, and the temple of  Jehovah hath not been founded, 
15O 003:007 and they give money to hewers and to artificers, and food,  and drink, and oil to Zidonians and to Tyrians, to bring in  cedar-trees from Lebanon unto the sea of Joppa, according to  the permission of Cyrus king of Persia concerning them. 
15O 003:008 And in the second year of their coming in unto the house of  God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of  Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their  brethren the priests and the Levites, and all those coming from  the captivity to Jerusalem, and they appoint the Levites from a  son of twenty years and upward, to overlook the work of the  house of Jehovah. 
15O 003:009 And Jeshua standeth, [and] his sons, and his brethren,  Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah together, to overlook those  doing the work in the house of God; the sons of Henadad, [and]  their sons and their brethren the Levites. 
15O 003:010 And those building have founded the temple of Jehovah, and  they appoint the priests, clothed, with trumpets, and the  Levites, sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, by  means of [the instruments of] David king of Israel. 
15O 003:011 And they respond in praising and in giving thanks to  Jehovah, for good, for to the age His kindness [is] over  Israel, and all the people have shouted -- a great shout --  in giving praise to Jehovah, because the house of Jehovah  hath been founded. 
15O 003:012 And many of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of  the fathers, the aged men who had seen the first house -- in  this house being founded before their eyes -- are weeping with  a loud voice, and many with a shout, in joy, lifting up the  voice; 
15O 003:013 and the people are not discerning the noise of the shout of  joy from the noise of the weeping of the people, for the people  are shouting -- a great shout -- and the noise hath been heard  unto a distance. 
15O 004:001 And adversaries of Judah and Benjamin hear that the sons of  the captivity are building a temple to Jehovah, God of Israel, 
15O 004:002 and they draw nigh unto Zerubbabel, and unto heads of the  fathers, and say to them, `Let us build with you; for, like  you, we seek to your God, and we are not sacrificing since the  days of Esar-Haddon king of Asshur, who brought us up hither.' 
15O 004:003 And Zerubbabel saith to them, also Jeshua, and the rest of  the heads of the fathers of Israel, `Not for you, and for us,  to build a house to our God; but we ourselves together do build  to Jehovah God of Israel, as the king Cyrus, king of Persia,  commanded us.' 
15O 004:004 And it cometh to pass, the people of the land are making the  hands of the people of Judah feeble, and troubling them in  building, 
15O 004:005 and are hiring against them counsellors to make void their  counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even till the  reign of Darius king of Persia. 
15O 004:006 And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the commencement of his  reign, they have written an accusation against the inhabitants  of Judah and Jerusalem; 
15O 004:007 and in the days of Artaxerxes have Bishlam, Mithredath,  Tabeel, and the rest of his companions written unto Artaxerxes  king of Persia, and the writing of the letter is written in  Aramaean, and interpreted in Aramaean. 
15O 004:008 Rehum counsellor, and Shimshai scribe have written a letter  concerning Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king, thus: 
15O 004:009 Then Rehum counsellor, and Shimshai scribe, and the rest of  their companions, Dinaites, and Apharsathchites, Tarpelites,  Apharsites, Archevites, Babylonians, Susanchites, (who are  Elamites), 
15O 004:010 and the rest of the nations that the great and honourable  Asnapper removed and set in the city of Samaria, and the rest  beyond the river, and at such a time: 
15O 004:011 This [is] a copy of a letter that they have sent unto him,  unto Artaxerxes the king: `Thy servants, men beyond the river,  and at such a time; 
15O 004:012 Be it known to the king, that the Jews who have come up  from thee unto us, have come in to Jerusalem, the rebellious  and base city they are building, and the walls they have  finished, and the foundations they join. 
15O 004:013 `Now, be it known to the king, that if this city be builded,  and the walls finished, toll, tribute, and custom they do not  give; and at length [to] the kings it doth cause loss. 
15O 004:014 Now, because that the salt of the palace [is] our salt, and  the nakedness of the king we have no patience to see, therefore  we have sent and made known to the king; 
15O 004:015 so that he doth seek in the book of the records of thy  fathers, and thou dost find in the book of the records, and  dost know, that this city [is] a rebellious city, and causing  loss [to] kings and provinces, and makers of sedition [are] in  its midst from the days of old, therefore hath this city been  wasted. 
15O 004:016 We are making known to the king that, if this city be  builded and the walls finished, by this means a portion beyond  the river thou hast none.' 
15O 004:017 An answer hath the king sent unto Rehum counsellor, and  Shimshai scribe, and the rest of their companions who are  dwelling in Samaria, and the rest beyond the river, `Peace, and  at such a time: 
15O 004:018 The letter that ye sent unto us, explained, hath been read  before me, 
15O 004:019 and by me a decree hath been made, and they sought, and  have found that this city from the days of old against kings is  lifting up itself, and rebellion and sedition is made in it, 
15O 004:020 and mighty kings have been over Jerusalem, even rulers over  all beyond the river, and toll, tribute, and custom is given to  them. 
15O 004:021 `Now, make ye a decree to cause these men to cease, and  this city is not builded, till by me a decree is made. 
15O 004:022 And beware ye of negligence in doing this; why doth the  hurt become great to the loss of the kings?' 
15O 004:023 Then from the time that a copy of the letter of king  Artaxerxes is read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and  their companions, they have gone in haste to Jerusalem, unto  the Jews, and caused them to cease by force and strength; 
15O 004:024 then ceased the service of the house of God that [is] in  Jerusalem, and it ceased till the second year of the reign of  Darius king of Persia. 
15O 005:001 And prophesied have the prophets, (Haggai the prophet, and  Zechariah son of Iddo) unto the Jews who [are] in Judah and in  Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel -- unto them. 
15O 005:002 Then have Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua son of  Jozadak, risen, and begun to build the house of God, that [is]  in Jerusalem, and with them are the prophets of God supporting  them. 
15O 005:003 At that time come to them hath Tatnai, governor beyond the  river, and Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, and thus they  are saying to them, `Who hath made for you a decree this house  to build, and this wall to finish?' 
15O 005:004 Then thus we have said to them, `What [are] the names of the  men who are building this building?' 
15O 005:005 And the eye of their God hath been upon the elders of the  Jews, and they have not caused them to cease till the matter  goeth to Darius, and then they send back a letter concerning  this thing. 
15O 005:006 The copy of a letter that Tatnai, governor beyond the river,  hath sent, and Shethar-Boznai and his companions, the  Apharsachites who [are] beyond the river, unto Darius the king. 
15O 005:007 A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in  it: 
15O 005:008 `To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that  we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of  God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed  in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in  their hand. 
15O 005:009 Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to  them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and  this wall to finish? 
15O 005:010 And also their names we have asked of them, to let thee  know, that we might write the names of the men who [are] at  their head. 
15O 005:011 `And thus they have returned us word, saying, We [are]  servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are building the  house that was built many years before this, that a great king  of Israel built and finished: 
15O 005:012 but after that our fathers made the God of heaven angry, he  gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the  Chaldean, and this house he destroyed, and the people he  removed to Babylon; 
15O 005:013 but in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the  king made a decree to build this house of God, 
15O 005:014 and also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and  silver, that Nebuchadnezzar had taken forth out of the temple  that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of  Babylon, them hath Cyrus the king brought forth out of the  temple of Babylon, and they have been given to [one],  Sheshbazzar [is] his name, whom he made governor, 
15O 005:015 and said to him, These vessels lift up, go, put them down  in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and the house of God is  builded on its place. 
15O 005:016 Then hath this Sheshbazzar come -- he hath laid the  foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and  from thence even till now it hath been building, and is not  finished. 
15O 005:017 `And now, if to the king it be good, let search be made in  the treasure-house of the king, that [is] there in Babylon,  whether it be that of Cyrus the king there was made a decree to  build this house of God in Jerusalem, and the will of the king  concerning this thing he doth send unto us.' 
15O 006:001 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the  house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon, 
15O 006:002 and there hath been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is]  in the province of Media, a roll, and a record thus written  within it [is]: 
15O 006:003 `In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king hath  made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: the  house let be builded in the place where they are sacrificing  sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty  cubits, its breadth sixty cubits; 
15O 006:004 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and the  outlay let be given out of the king's house. 
15O 006:005 `And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and  silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that  [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back,  and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its  place, and put [them] down in the house of God. 
15O 006:006 `Now, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and  their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the  river, be ye far from hence; 
15O 006:007 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of  the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build this house of God  on its place. 
15O 006:008 `And by me is made a decree concerning that which ye do with  the elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of  the riches of the king, that [are] of the tribute beyond the  river, speedily let the outlay be given to these men, that they  cease not; 
15O 006:009 and what they are needing -- both young bullocks, and rams,  and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of heaven, wheat,  salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who  [are] in Jerusalem -- let be given to them day by day without  fail, 
15O 006:010 that they be bringing near sweet savours to the God of  heaven, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons. 
15O 006:011 `And by me is made a decree, that any one who changeth this  thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised  up, let him be smitten on it, and his house let be made a  dunghill for this. 
15O 006:012 And God, who caused His name to dwell there, doth cast down  any king and people that putteth forth his hand to change, to  destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have  made a decree; speedily let it be done.' 
15O 006:013 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai,  and their companions, according to that which Darius the king  hath sent, so they have done speedily; 
15O 006:014 and the elders of the Jews are building and prospering  through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah son  of Iddo, and they have built and finished by the decree of  the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and  Artaxerxes king of Persia. 
15O 006:015 And this house hath gone out till the third day of the  month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius  the king. 
15O 006:016 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and  the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a  dedication of this house of God with joy, 
15O 006:017 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of  God, bullocks a hundred, rams two hundred, lambs four hundred;  and young he-goats for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve,  according to the number of the tribes of Israel; 
15O 006:018 and they have established the priests in their divisions,  and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that  [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses. 
15O 006:019 And the sons of the captivity make the passover on the  fourteenth of the first month, 
15O 006:020 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together  -- all of them [are] pure -- and they slaughter the passover  for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brethren the  priests, and for themselves. 
15O 006:021 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity,  and every one who is separated from the uncleanness of the  nations of the land unto them, to seek to Jehovah, God of  Israel, do eat, 
15O 006:022 and they make the feast of unleavened things seven days  with joy, for Jehovah made them to rejoice, and turned round  the heart of the king of Asshur unto them, to strengthen their  hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel. 
15O 007:001 And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of  Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah, 
15O 007:002 son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub, 
15O 007:003 son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth, 
15O 007:004 son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki, 
15O 007:005 son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron  the head priest; 
15O 007:006 Ezra himself hath come up from Babylon, and he [is] a scribe  ready in the law of Moses, that Jehovah God of Israel gave, and  the king giveth to him -- according to the hand of Jehovah his  God upon him -- all his request. 
15O 007:007 And there go up of the sons of Israel, and of the priests,  and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the  Nethinim, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the  king. 
15O 007:008 And he cometh in to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [is  in] the seventh year of the king, 
15O 007:009 for on the first of the month he hath founded the ascent  from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he hath come  in unto Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon  him, 
15O 007:010 for Ezra hath prepared his heart to seek the law of  Jehovah, and to do, and to teach in Israel statute and  judgment. 
15O 007:011 And this [is] a copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes  gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of  the commands of Jehovah, and of His statutes on Israel: 
15O 007:012 `Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a perfect  scribe of the law of the God of heaven, and at such a time: 
15O 007:013 By me hath been made a decree that every one who is  willing, in my kingdom, of the people of Israel and of its  priests and Levites, to go to Jerusalem with thee, doth go; 
15O 007:014 because that from the king and his seven counsellors thou  art sent, to inquire concerning Judah and concerning Jerusalem,  with the law of God that [is] in thy hand, 
15O 007:015 and to carry silver and gold that the king and his  counsellors willingly offered to the God of Israel, whose  tabernacle [is] in Jerusalem, 
15O 007:016 and all the silver and gold that thou findest in all the  province of Babylon, with the free-will offerings of the  people, and of the priests, offering willingly, for the house  of their God that [is] in Jerusalem, 
15O 007:017 therefore thou dost speedily buy with this money, bullocks,  rams, lambs, and their presents, and their libations, and dost  bring them near to the altar of the house of your God that [is]  in Jerusalem, 
15O 007:018 and that which to thee and to thy brethren is good to do  with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of  your God ye do.' 
15O 007:019 `And the vessels that are given to thee, for the service of  the house of thy God, make perfect before the God of Jerusalem; 
15O 007:020 and the rest of the needful things of the house of thy God,  that it falleth to thee to give, thou dost give from the  treasure-house of the king. 
15O 007:021 `And by me -- I Artaxerxes the king -- is made a decree to  all treasurers who [are] beyond the river, that all that Ezra  the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, doth ask of  you, be done speedily: 
15O 007:022 Unto silver a hundred talents, and unto wheat a hundred  cors, and unto wine a hundred baths, and unto oil a hundred  baths, and salt without reckoning; 
15O 007:023 all that [is] by the decree of the God of heaven, let be  done diligently for the house of the God of heaven; for why is  there wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons? 
15O 007:024 `And to you we are making known, that upon any of the  priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, and  servants of the house of God, tribute and custom there is no  authority to lift up. 
15O 007:025 `And thou, Ezra, according to the wisdom of thy God, that  [is] in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may be  judges to all the people who are beyond the river, to all  knowing the law of thy God, and he who hath not known ye cause  to know; 
15O 007:026 and any who doth not do the law of thy God, and the law of  the king, speedily is judgment done upon him, whether to death,  or to banishment, or to confiscation of riches, and to bonds.' 
15O 007:027 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of our fathers, who hath given  such a thing as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the  house of Jehovah that [is] in Jerusalem, 
15O 007:028 and unto me hath stretched out kindness before the king and  his counsellors, and before all the mighty heads of the king:  and I have strengthened myself as the hand of Jehovah my God  [is] upon me, and I gather out of Israel heads to go up with  me. 
15O 008:001 And these [are] heads of their fathers, and the genealogy of  those going up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king,  from Babylon. 
15O 008:002 From the sons of Phinehas: Gershom; from the sons of  Ithamar: Daniel; from the sons of David: Hattush; 
15O 008:003 from the sons of Shechaniah, from the sons of Pharosh:  Zechariah, and with him, reckoning themselves by genealogy, of  males a hundred and fifty. 
15O 008:004 From the sons of Pahath-Moab: Elihoenai son of Zerahiah, and  with him two hundred who are males. 
15O 008:005 From the sons of Shechaniah: the son of Jahaziel, and with  him three hundred who are males. 
15O 008:006 And from the sons of Adin: Ebed son of Jonathan, and with  him fifty who are males. 
15O 008:007 And from the sons of Elam: Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and  with him seventy who are males. 
15O 008:008 And from the sons of Shephatiah: Zebadiah son of Michael,  and with him eighty who are males. 
15O 008:009 From the sons of Joab: Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him  two hundred and eighteen who are males. 
15O 008:010 And from the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and  with him a hundred and sixty who are males. 
15O 008:011 And from the sons of Bebai: Zechariah son of Bebai, and  with him twenty and eight who are males. 
15O 008:012 And from the sons of Azgad: Johanan son of Hakkatan, and  with him a hundred and ten who are males. 
15O 008:013 And from the younger sons of Adonikam -- and these [are]  their names -- Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them  sixty who are males. 
15O 008:014 And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with  them seventy who are males. 
15O 008:015 And I gather them unto the river that is going unto Ahava,  and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the  people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have  found none there; 
15O 008:016 and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for  Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and  for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, and  for Elnathan, men of understanding; 
15O 008:017 and I charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia,  and put in their mouth words to speak unto Iddo, [and] his  brethren the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us  ministrants for the house of our God. 
15O 008:018 And they bring to us, according to the good hand of our God  upon us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of  Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his  brethren, eighteen; 
15O 008:019 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of  Merari, his brethren, and their sons, twenty; 
15O 008:020 and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for  the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim,  all of them defined by name. 
15O 008:021 And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict  ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us,  and for our infants, and for all our substance, 
15O 008:022 for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen  to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the  king, saying, `The hand of our God [is] upon all seeking Him  for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] upon all  forsaking Him.' 
15O 008:023 And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He is  entreated of us. 
15O 008:024 And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even  Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brethren ten, 
15O 008:025 and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the  vessels, a heave-offering of the house of our God, that the  king, and his counsellors, and his heads, and all Israel --  those present -- lifted up; 
15O 008:026 and I weigh to their hand, of silver, talents six hundred and  fifty, and of vessels of silver a hundred talents, of gold a  hundred talents, 
15O 008:027 and basins of gold twenty, of a thousand drams, and two  vessels of good shining brass, desirable as gold. 
15O 008:028 And I say unto them, `Ye [are] holy to Jehovah, and the  vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a  willing-offering to Jehovah, God of your fathers; 
15O 008:029 watch, and keep, till ye weigh before the heads of the  priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of  Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.' 
15O 008:030 And the priests and the Levites took the weight of the  silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring to  Jerusalem to the house of our God. 
15O 008:031 And we journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the  first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God hath  been upon us, and He delivereth us from the hand of the enemy  and the lier in wait by the way; 
15O 008:032 and we come in to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days. 
15O 008:033 And on the fourth day hath been weighed the silver, and the  gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, unto the hand  of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son  of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah  son of Binnui, the Levites: 
15O 008:034 by number, by weight of every one, and all the weight is  written at that time. 
15O 008:035 Those coming in of the captives -- sons of the removal --  have brought near burnt-offerings to the God of Israel,  bullocks twelve, for all Israel, rams ninety and six, lambs  seventy and seven, young he-goats for a sin-offering twelve --  the whole a burnt-offering to Jehovah; 
15O 008:036 and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of  the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have  lifted up the people and the house of God. 
15O 009:001 And at the completion of these things, drawn nigh unto me  have the heads, saying, `The people of Israel, and the priests,  and the Levites, have not been separated from the peoples of  the lands, as to their abominations, even the Canaanite, the  Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite, the Ammonite, the Moabite,  the Egyptian, and the Amorite, 
15O 009:002 for they have taken of their daughters to them, and to their  sons, and the holy seed have mingled themselves among the  peoples of the lands, and the hand of the heads and of the  seconds have been first in this trespass.' 
15O 009:003 And at my hearing this word, I have rent my garment and my  upper robe, and pluck out of the hair of my head, and of my  beard, and sit astonished, 
15O 009:004 and unto me are gathered every one trembling at the words of  the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the removal, and  I am sitting astonished till the present of the evening. 
15O 009:005 And at the present of the evening I have risen from mine  affliction, and at my rending my garment and my upper robe, then  I bow down on my knees, and spread out my hands unto Jehovah my  God, 
15O 009:006 and say, `O my God, I have been ashamed, and have blushed to  lift up, O my God, my face unto Thee, for our iniquities have  increased over the head, and our guilt hath become great unto  the heavens. 
15O 009:007 `From the days of our fathers we [are] in great guilt unto  this day, and in our iniquities we have been given -- we, our  kings, our priests -- into the hand of the kings of the lands,  with sword, with captivity, and with spoiling, and with shame  of face, as [at] this day. 
15O 009:008 `And now, as a small moment hath grace been from Jehovah our  God, to leave to us an escape, and to give to us a nail in His  holy place, by our God's enlightening our eyes, and by giving  us a little quickening in our servitude; 
15O 009:009 for servants we [are], and in our servitude our God hath not  forsaken us, and stretcheth out unto us kindness before the  kings of Persia, to give to us a quickening to lift up the  house of our God, and to cause its wastes to cease, and to give  to us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem. 
15O 009:010 `And now, what do we say, O our God, after this? for we  have forsaken Thy commands, 
15O 009:011 that Thou hast commanded by the hands of thy servants the  prophets, saying, The land into which ye are going to possess  it, [is] a land of impurity, by the impurity of the people of  the lands, by their abominations with which they have filled it  -- from mouth unto mouth -- by their uncleanness; 
15O 009:012 and now, your daughters ye do not give to their sons, and  their daughters ye do not take to your sons, and ye do not seek  their peace, and their good -- unto the age, so that ye are  strong, and have eaten the good of the land, and given  possession to your sons unto the age. 
15O 009:013 `And after all that hath come upon us for our evil works,  and for our great guilt (for Thou, O our God, hast kept back of  the rod from our iniquities, and hast given to us an escape  like this), 
15O 009:014 do we turn back to break Thy commands, and to join  ourselves in marriage with the people of these abominations?  art not Thou angry against us -- even to consumption -- till  there is no remnant and escaped part? 
15O 009:015 `O Jehovah, God of Israel, righteous [art] Thou, for we  have been left an escape, as [it is] this day; lo, we [are]  before Thee in our guilt, for there is none to stand before  Thee concerning this.' 
15O 010:001 And at Ezra's praying, and at his making confession,  weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there  have been gathered unto him out of Israel an assembly very  great -- men and women and children -- for the people have  wept, multiplying weeping. 
15O 010:002 And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam,  answereth and saith to Ezra, `We -- we have trespassed against  our God, and we settle strange women of the peoples of the  land; and now there is hope for Israel concerning this, 
15O 010:003 and now, let us make a covenant with our God, to cause all  the women to go out, and that which is born of them, by the  counsel of the Lord, and of those trembling at the command of  our God, and according to law it is done; 
15O 010:004 rise, for on thee [is] the matter, and we [are] with thee;  be strong, and do.' 
15O 010:005 And Ezra riseth, and causeth the heads of the priests, the  Levites, and all Israel, to swear to do according to this word  -- and they swear. 
15O 010:006 And Ezra riseth from before the house of God, and goeth  unto the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib; yea, he goeth  there, bread he hath not eaten, and water he hath not drunk,  for he is mourning because of the trespass of the removal. 
15O 010:007 And they cause a voice to pass over into Judah and  Jerusalem, to all sons of the removal, to be gathered to  Jerusalem, 
15O 010:008 and every one who cometh not in by the third day, according  to the counsel of the heads and of the elders, all his  substance is devoted, and himself separated from the assembly  of the removal. 
15O 010:009 And gathered are all the men of Judah and Benjamin to  Jerusalem by the third day, it [is] the ninth month, on the  twentieth of the month, and all the people sit in the broad  place of the house of God, trembling on account of the matter  and of the showers. 
15O 010:010 And Ezra the priest riseth, and saith unto them, `Ye -- ye  have trespassed, and ye settle strange women, to add to the  guilt of Israel; 
15O 010:011 and, now, make confession to Jehovah, God of your fathers,  and do His good pleasure, and be separated from the peoples of  the land, and from the strange women.' 
15O 010:012 And all the assembly answer and say [with] a great voice,  `Right; according to thy word -- on us to do; 
15O 010:013 but the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of  showers, and there is no power to stand without, and the work  [is] not for one day, nor for two, for we have multiplied to  transgress in this thing. 
15O 010:014 `Let, we pray thee, our heads of all the assembly stand,  and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled strange  wives, do come in at the times appointed, and with them the  elders of city and city, and its judges, till the turning back  of the fury of the wrath of our God from us, for this thing.' 
15O 010:015 Only Jonathan son of Asahel, and Jahaziah son of Tikvah,  stood against this, and Meshullam, and Shabbethai the Levite,  helped them. 
15O 010:016 And the sons of the removal do so, and Ezra the priest,  [and] men, heads of the fathers, for the house of their  fathers, are separated, even all of them by name, and they sit  on the first day of the tenth month, to examine the matter; 
15O 010:017 and they finish with all the men who have settled strange  women unto the first day of the first month. 
15O 010:018 And there are found of the sons of the priests that have  settled strange women: of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak,  and his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and  Gedaliah; 
15O 010:019 and they give their hand to send out their wives, and,  being guilty, a ram of the flock, for their guilt. 
15O 010:020 And of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah; 
15O 010:021 and of the sons of Harim: Masseiah, and Elijah, and  Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah;

15O 010:026 And of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel,  and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah. 
15O 010:027 And of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah,  and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza. 
15O 010:028 And of the sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai,  Athlai. 
15O 010:029 And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah,  Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.

15O 010:036 Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib, 
15O 010:037 Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau, 
15O 010:038 and Bani, and Binnui, Shimei, 
15O 010:039 and Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah, 
15O 010:040 Machnadbai, Shashai, Sharai, 
15O 010:041 Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah, 
15O 010:042 Shallum, Amariah, Joseph. 
15O 010:043 Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina,  Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah; 
15O 010:044 all these have taken strange women, and there are of them  women -- who adopt sons.  
16O 001:001 Words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah. And it cometh to pass,  in the month of Chisleu, the twentieth year, and I have been in  Shushan the palace, 
16O 001:002 and come in doth Hanani, one of my brethren, he and men of  Judah, and I ask them concerning the Jews, the escaped part  that have been left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem; 
16O 001:003 and they say to me, `Those left, who have been left of the  captivity there in the province, [are] in great evil, and in  reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its  gates have been burnt with fire.' 
16O 001:004 And it cometh to pass, at my hearing these words, I have sat  down, and I weep and mourn [for] days, and I am fasting and  praying before the God of the heavens. 
16O 001:005 And I say, `I beseech thee, O Jehovah, God of the heavens,  God, the great and the fearful, keeping the covenant and  kindness for those loving Him, and for those keeping His  commands, 
16O 001:006 let Thine ear be, I pray Thee, attentive, and Thine eyes  open, to hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, that I am  praying before Thee to-day, by day and by night, concerning the  sons of Israel Thy servants, and confessing concerning the sins  of the sons of Israel, that we have sinned against Thee; yea, I  and the house of my father have sinned; 
16O 001:007 we have acted very corruptly against Thee, and have not kept  the commands, and the statutes, and the judgments, that Thou  didst command Moses Thy servant. 
16O 001:008 `Remember, I pray Thee, the word that Thou didst command  Moses Thy servant, saying, Ye -- ye trespass -- I scatter you  among peoples; 
16O 001:009 and ye have turned back unto Me, and kept My commands, and  done them -- if your outcast is in the end of the heavens,  thence I gather them, and have brought them in unto the place  that I have chosen to cause My name to tabernacle there. 
16O 001:010 And they [are] Thy servants, and Thy people, whom Thou hast  ransomed by Thy great power, and by Thy strong hand. 
16O 001:011 `I beseech Thee, O Lord, let, I pray Thee, Thine ear be  attentive unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto the prayer  of Thy servants, those delighting to fear Thy Name; and give  prosperity, I pray Thee, to Thy servant to-day, and give him  for mercies before this man;' and I have been butler to the  king. 
16O 002:001 And it cometh to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth  year of Artaxerxes the king, wine [is] before him, and I lift  up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad  before him; 
16O 002:002 and the king saith to me, `Wherefore [is] thy face sad, and  thou not sick? this is nothing except sadness of heart;' and I  fear very much, 
16O 002:003 and say to the king, `Let the king to the age live!  wherefore should not my face be sad, when the city, the place  of the graves of my fathers, [is] a waste, and its gates have  been consumed with fire?' 
16O 002:004 And the king saith to me, `For what art thou seeking?' and I  pray unto the God of the heavens, 
16O 002:005 and say to the king, `If to the king [it be] good, and if  thy servant be pleasing before thee, that thou send me unto  Judah, unto the city of the graves of my fathers, and I built it.' 
16O 002:006 And the king saith to me (and the queen is sitting near  him), `How long is thy journey? and when dost thou return?' and  it is good before the king, and he sendeth me away, and I set  to him a time. 
16O 002:007 And I say to the king, `If to the king [it be] good, letters  let be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that  they let me pass over till that I come in unto Judah: 
16O 002:008 and a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the  king hath, that he give to me trees for beams [for] the gates  of the palace that the house hath, and for the wall of the city,  and for the house into which I enter;' and the king giveth to  me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. 
16O 002:009 And I come in unto the governors beyond the River, and give  to them the letters of the king; and the king sendeth with me  heads of a force, and horsemen; 
16O 002:010 and Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant,  the Ammonite, and it is evil to them -- a great evil -- that a  man hath come in to seek good for the sons of Israel. 
16O 002:011 And I come in unto Jerusalem, and I am there three days, 
16O 002:012 and I rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not  declared to a man what my God is giving unto my heart to do for  Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on  which I am riding. 
16O 002:013 And I go out through the gate of the valley by night, and  unto the front of the fountain of the dragon, and unto the gate  of the dunghill, and I am measuring about the walls of  Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with  fire. 
16O 002:014 And I pass over unto the gate of the fountain, and unto the  pool of the king, and there is no place for the beast under me  to pass over, 
16O 002:015 and I am going up through the brook by night, and am  measuring about the wall, and turn back, and come in through  the gate of the valley, and turn back. 
16O 002:016 And the prefects have not known whither I have gone, and  what I am doing; and to the Jews, and to the priests, and to  the freemen, and to the prefects, and to the rest of those  doing the work, hitherto I have not declared [it]; 
16O 002:017 and I say unto them, `Ye are seeing the evil that we are  in, in that Jerusalem [is] waste, and its gates have been burnt  with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are  not any more a reproach.' 
16O 002:018 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon  me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they  say, `Let us rise, and we have built;' and they strengthen  their hands for good. 
16O 002:019 And Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant,  the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, and they mock at us, and  despise us, and say, `What [is] this thing that ye are doing?  against the king are ye rebelling?' 
16O 002:020 And I return them word, and say to them, `The God of the  heavens -- He doth give prosperity to us, and we His servants  rise and have built; and to you there is no portion, and right,  and memorial in Jerusalem.' 
16O 003:001 And Eliashib the high priest riseth, and his brethren the  priests, and they build the sheep-gate; they have sanctified it,  and set up its doors, even unto the tower of Meah they have  sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel; 
16O 003:002 and by his hand have men of Jericho built; and by their hand  hath Zaccur son of Imri built; 
16O 003:003 and the fish-gate have sons of Hassenaah built, they have  walled it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars. 
16O 003:004 And by their hand hath Merimoth son of Urijah, son of Koz,  strengthened; and by his hand hath Meshullam son of Berechiah,  son of Meshezabeel, strengthened; and by his hand hath Zadok son  of Baana strengthened; 
16O 003:005 and by his hand have the Tekoites strengthened, and their  honourable ones have not brought in their neck to the service  of their Lord. 
16O 003:006 And the old gate have Jehoiada son of Paseah, and Meshullam  son of Besodeiah, strengthened; they have walled it, and set up  its doors, and its locks, and its bars. 
16O 003:007 And by their hand hath Melatiah the Gibeonite strengthened,  and Jadon the Meronothite, men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, to the  throne of the governor beyond the River. 
16O 003:008 By his hand hath Uzziel son of Harhaiah of the refiners  strengthened; and by his hand hath Hananiah son of [one of] the  compounders strengthened; and they leave Jerusalem unto the  broad wall. 
16O 003:009 And by their hand hath Rephaiah son of Hur, head of the half  of the district of Jerusalem, strengthened. 
16O 003:010 And by their hand hath Jedaiah son of Harumaph  strengthened, and over-against his own house; and by his hand  hath Hattush son of Hashabniah strengthened. 
16O 003:011 A second measure hath Malchijah son of Harim strengthened,  and Hashub son of Pahath-Moab, even the tower of the furnaces. 
16O 003:012 And by his hand hath Shallum son of Halohesh, head of the  half of the district of Jerusalem, strengthened, he and his  daughters. 
16O 003:013 The gate of the valley hath Hanun strengthened, and the  inhabitants of Zanoah; they have built it, and set up its  doors, its locks, and its bars, and a thousand cubits in the  wall unto the dung-gate. 
16O 003:014 And the dung-gate hath Malchijah son of Rechab, head of the  district of Beth-Haccerem, strengthened; he doth built it, and  set up its doors, its locks, and its bars. 
16O 003:015 And the gate of the fountain hath Shallum son of Col-Hozeh,  head of the district of Mizpah, strengthened: he doth build it,  and cover it, and set up its doors, its locks, and its bars,  and the wall of the pool of Siloah, to the garden of the king,  and unto the steps that are going down from the city of David. 
16O 003:016 After him hath Nehemiah son of Azbuk, head of the half of  the district of Beth-Zur, strengthened, unto over-against the  graves of David, and unto the pool that is made, and unto the  house of the mighty ones. 
16O 003:017 After him have the Levites strengthened, [and] Rehum son of  Bani: by his hand hath Hashabiah, head of the half of the  district of Keilah, strengthened, for his district. 
16O 003:018 After him have their brethren strengthened, [and] Bavvai  son of Henadad, head of the half of the district of Keilah. 
16O 003:019 And Ezer son of Jeshua, head of Mizpah, doth strengthen, by  his hand, a second measure, from over-against the ascent of the  armoury at the angle. 
16O 003:020 After him hath Baruch son of Zabbai hastened to strengthen  a second measure from the angle unto the opening of the house  of Eliashib the high priest. 
16O 003:021 After him hath Meremoth son of Urijah, son of Koz,  strengthened, a second measure, from the opening of the house  of Eliashib even unto the completion of the house of Eliashib.

16O 003:023 After them hath Benjamin strengthened, and Hashub,  over-against their house; after him hath Azariah son of  Maaseiah, son of Ananiah, strengthened, near his house. 
16O 003:024 After him hath Binnui son of Henadad strengthened, a second  measure, from the house of Azariah unto the angle, and unto the  corner. 
16O 003:025 Palal son of Uzai, from over-against the angle, and the  tower that is going out from the upper house of the king that  [is] at the court of the prison; after him Pedaiah son of  Parosh. 
16O 003:026 And the Nethinim have been dwelling in Ophel, unto  over-against the water-gate at the east, and the tower that  goeth out.

16O 003:032 And between the ascent of the corner and the sheep-gate,  have the refiners and the merchants strengthened. 
16O 004:001 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard that we are  building the wall, that it is displeasing to him, and he is  very angry and mocketh at the Jews, 
16O 004:002 and saith before his brethren and the force of Samaria, yea,  he saith, `What [are] the weak Jews doing? are they left to  themselves? do they sacrifice? do they complete in a day? do  they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish? -- and  they burnt!' 
16O 004:003 And Tobiah the Ammonite [is] by him and saith, `Also, that  which they are building -- if a fox doth go up, then it hath  broken down their stone wall.' 
16O 004:004 Hear, O our God, for we have been despised; and turn back  their reproach on their own head, and give them for a spoil in  a land of captivity; 
16O 004:005 and do not cover over their iniquity, and their sin from  before Thee let not be blotted out, for they have provoked to  anger -- over-against those building. 
16O 004:006 And we build the wall, and all the wall is joined -- unto  its half, and the people have a heart to work. 
16O 004:007 And it cometh to pass, when Sanballat hath heard, and  Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the  Ashdodites, that lengthening hath gone up to the walls of  Jerusalem, that the breeches have begun to be stopped, then it  is very displeasing to them, 
16O 004:008 and they conspire, all of them together, to come in to fight  against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury. 
16O 004:009 And we pray unto our God, and appoint a watch against them,  by day and by night, because of them. 
16O 004:010 And Judah saith, `The power of the burden-bearers hath  become feeble, and the rubbish [is] abundant, and we are not  able to build on the wall.' 
16O 004:011 And our adversaries say, `They do not know, nor see, till  that we come in to their midst, and have slain them, and caused  the work to cease.' 
16O 004:012 And it cometh to pass, when the Jews have come who are  dwelling near them, that they say to us ten times from all the  places whither ye return -- [they are] against us. 
16O 004:013 And I appoint at the lowest of the places, at the back of  the wall, in the clear places, yea, I appoint the people, by  their families, with their swords, their spears, and their  bows. 
16O 004:014 And I see, and rise up, and say unto the freemen, and unto  the prefects, and unto the rest of the people, `Be not afraid  of them; the Lord, the great and the fearful, remember ye, and  fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your  wives, and your houses.' 
16O 004:015 And it cometh to pass, when our enemies have heard that it  hath been known to us, and God doth frustrate their counsel,  and we turn back, all of us, unto the wall, each unto his work; 
16O 004:016 yea, it cometh to pass, from that day, half of my servants  are working in the business, and half of them are keeping hold  of both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of  mail; and the heads [are] behind all the house of Judah. 
16O 004:017 The builders on the wall, and the bearers of the burden,  those lading, [each] with one of his hands is working in the  business, and one is laying hold of the missile. 
16O 004:018 And the builders [are] each with his sword, girded on his  loins, and building, and he who is blowing with a trumpet [is]  beside me. 
16O 004:019 And I say unto the freemen, and unto the prefects, and unto  the rest of the people, `The work is abundant, and large, and  we are separated on the wall, far off one from another; 
16O 004:020 in the place that ye hear the voice of the trumpet thither  ye are gathered unto us; our God doth fight for us.' 
16O 004:021 And we are working in the business, and half of them are  keeping hold of the spears, from the going up of the dawn till  the coming forth of the stars. 
16O 004:022 Also, at that time I said to the people, `Let each with his  servant lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, and they have been to  us by night a guard, and by day [for] the work:' 
16O 004:023 and there are none -- I and my brethren and my servants,  the men of the guard who [are] after me -- there are none of us  putting off our garments, each [hath] his vessel of water. 
16O 005:001 And there is a great cry of the people and their wives,  concerning their brethren the Jews, 
16O 005:002 yea, there are who are saying, `Our sons, and our daughters,  we -- are many, and we receive corn, and eat, and live.' 
16O 005:003 And there are who are saying, `Our fields, and our  vineyards, and our houses, we are pledging, and we receive corn  for the famine.' 
16O 005:004 And there are who are saying, `We have borrowed money for  the tribute of the king, [on] our fields, and our vineyards; 
16O 005:005 and now, as the flesh of our brethren [is] our flesh, as  their sons [are] our sons, and lo, we are subduing our sons and  our daughters for servants, and there are of our daughters  subdued, and our hand hath no might, and our fields and our  vineyards [are] to others.' 
16O 005:006 And it is very displeasing to me when I have heard their cry  and these words, 
16O 005:007 and my heart reigneth over me, and I strive with the  freemen, and with the prefects, and say to them, `Usury one  upon another ye are exacting;' and I set against them a great  assembly, 
16O 005:008 and say to them, `We have acquired our brethren the Jews,  those sold to the nations, according to the ability that [is]  in us, and ye also sell your brethren, and they have been sold  to us!' and they are silent, and have not found a word. 
16O 005:009 And I say, `Not good [is] the thing that ye are doing; in  the fear of our God do ye not walk, because of the reproach of  the nations our enemies? 
16O 005:010 And also, I, my brethren, and my servants, are exacting of  them silver and corn; let us leave off, I pray you, this usury. 
16O 005:011 Give back, I pray you, to them, as to-day, their fields,  their vineyards, their olive-yards, and their houses, and the  hundredth [part] of the money, and of the corn, of the new  wine, and of the oil, that ye are exacting of them.' 
16O 005:012 And they say, `We give back, and of them we seek nothing;  so we do as thou art saying.' And I call the priests, and cause  them to swear to do according to this thing; 
16O 005:013 also, my lap I have shaken, and I say, `Thus doth God shake  out every man, who doth not perform this thing, from his house,  and from his labour; yea, thus is he shaken out and empty;' and  all the assembly say, `Amen,' and praise Jehovah; and the  people do according to this thing. 
16O 005:014 Also, from the day that he appointed me to be their  governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even  unto the thirty and second year of Artaxerxes the king --  twelve years -- I, and my brethren, the bread of the governor  have not eaten: 
16O 005:015 the former governors who [are] before me have made  themselves heavy on the people, and take of them in bread and  wine, besides in silver forty shekels; also, their servants  have ruled over the people -- and I have not done so, because  of the fear of God. 
16O 005:016 And also, in the work of this wall I have done mightily,  even a field we have not bought, and all my servants are  gathered there for the work; 
16O 005:017 and of the Jews, and of the prefects, a hundred and fifty  men, and those coming in unto us of the nations that [are]  round about us, [are] at my table; 
16O 005:018 and that which hath been prepared for one day [is] one ox,  six fat sheep, also fowls have been prepared for me, and once  in ten days of all wines abundantly, and with this, the bread  of the governor I have not sought, for heavy is the service on  this people. 
16O 005:019 Remember for me, O my God, for good, all that I have done  for this people. 
16O 006:001 And it cometh to pass, when it hath been heard by Sanballat,  and Tobiah, and by Geshem the Arabian, and by the rest of our  enemies, that I have builded the wall, and there hath not been  left in it a breach, (also, till that time the doors I had not  set up in the gates,) 
16O 006:002 that Sanballat sendeth, also Geshem, unto me, saying, `Come  and we meet together in the villages, in the valley of Ono;'  and they are thinking to do to me evil. 
16O 006:003 And I send unto them messengers, saying, `A great work I am  doing, and I am not able to come down; why doth the work cease  when I let it alone, and have come down unto you?' 
16O 006:004 and they send unto me, according to this word, four times,  and I return them [word] according to this word. 
16O 006:005 And Sanballat sendeth unto me, according to this word, a  fifth time, his servant, and an open letter in his hand; 
16O 006:006 it is written in it, `Among the nations it hath been heard,  and Gashmu is saying: Thou and the Jews are thinking to rebel,  therefore thou art building the wall, and thou hast been to  them for a king -- according to these words! 
16O 006:007 And also, prophets thou hast appointed to call for thee in  Jerusalem, saying, A king [is] in Judah, and now it is heard by  the king according to these words; and now come, and we take  counsel together.' 
16O 006:008 And I send unto him, saying, `It hath not been according to  these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou  art devising them;' 
16O 006:009 for all of them are making us afraid, saying, `Their hands  are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;' and now,  strengthen Thou my hands. 
16O 006:010 And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah,  son of Mehetabeel -- and he is restrained -- and he saith, `Let  us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and  we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay  thee -- yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.' 
16O 006:011 And I say, `A man such as I -- doth he flee? and who as I,  that doth go in unto the temple, and live? -- I do not go in.' 
16O 006:012 And I discern, and lo, God hath not sent him, for in the  prophecy he hath spoken unto me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired  him, 
16O 006:013 so that he [is] an hireling, that I may fear and do so, and  I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that  they may reproach me. 
16O 006:014 Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat,  according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the  prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been  making me afraid. 
16O 006:015 And the wall is completed in the twenty and fifth of Elul,  on the fifty and second day; 
16O 006:016 and it cometh to pass, when all our enemies have heard, and  all the nations who are round about us see, that they fall  greatly in their own eyes, and know that by our God hath this  work been done. 
16O 006:017 Also, in those days the freemen of Judah are multiplying  their letters going unto Tobiah, and those of Tobiah are coming  in unto them; 
16O 006:018 for many in Judah are sworn to him, for he [is] son-in-law  to Shechaniah son of Arah, and Jehohanan his son hath taken the  daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah; 
16O 006:019 also, his good deeds they have been saying before me, and  my words they have been taking out to him; letters hath Tobiah  sent to make me afraid. 
16O 007:001 And it cometh to pass, when the wall hath been built, that I  set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the  singers, and the Levites, 
16O 007:002 and I charge Hanani my brother, and Hananiah head of the  palace, concerning Jerusalem -- for he [is] as a man of truth,  and fearing God above many -- 
16O 007:003 and I say to them, `Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened  till the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let  them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the  inhabitants of Jerusalem, each in his guard, and each  over-against his house.' 
16O 007:004 And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the  people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses builded; 
16O 007:005 and my God putteth it unto my heart, and I gather the  freeman, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy,  and I find a book of the genealogy of those coming up at the  beginning, and I find written in it: -- 
16O 007:006 These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the  captives of the removal that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon  removed -- and they turn back to Jerusalem and to Judah, each  to his city -- 
16O 007:007 who are coming in with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah,  Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth,  Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. Number of the men of the people of  Israel:

16O 007:060 All the Nethinim and the sons of the servants of Solomon  [are] three hundred ninety and two. 
16O 007:061 And these [are] those coming up from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha,  Cherub, Addon, and Immer -- and they have not been able to  declare the house of their fathers, and their seed, whether  they [are] of Israel -- 
16O 007:062 sons of Delaiah, sons of Tobiah, sons of Nekoda, six  hundred forty and two. 
16O 007:063 And of the priests: sons of Habaiah sons of Koz, sons of  Barzillai, who hath taken from the daughters of Barzillai the  Gileadite a wife, and is called by their name. 
16O 007:064 These have sought their register among those reckoning  themselves by genealogy, and it hath not been found, and they  are redeemed from the priesthood, 
16O 007:065 and the Tirshatha saith to them that they eat not of the  most holy things till the standing up of the priest with Urim  and Thummim. 
16O 007:066 All the assembly together [is] four myriads two thousand  three hundred and sixty, 
16O 007:067 apart from their servants and their handmaids -- these  [are] seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven; and of  them [are] singers and songstresses, two hundred forty and  five.

16O 007:069 camels, four hundred thirty and five; asses, six thousand  seven hundred and twenty. 
16O 007:070 And from the extremity of the heads of the fathers they  have given to the work; the Tirshatha hath given to the  treasure, of gold, drams a thousand, bowls fifty, priests'  coats thirty and five hundred. 
16O 007:071 And of the heads of the fathers they have given to the  treasure of the work, of gold, drams two myriads, and of  silver, pounds two thousand and two hundred. 
16O 007:072 And that which the rest of the people have given [is] of  gold, drams two myriads, and of silver, pounds two thousand,  and of priests coats, sixty and seven. 
16O 007:073 And they dwell -- the priests, and the Levites, and the  gatekeepers, and the singers, and [some] of the people, and the  Nethinim, and all Israel -- in their cities, and the seventh  month cometh, and the sons of Israel [are] in their cities. 
16O 008:001 And all the people are gathered as one man unto the broad  place that [is] before the water-gate, and they say to Ezra the  scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, that Jehovah  commanded Israel. 
16O 008:002 And Ezra the priest bringeth the law before the assembly,  both of men and women, and every one intelligent to hear, on  the first day of the seventh month, 
16O 008:003 and he readeth in it before the broad place that [is] before  the water-gate, from the light till the middle of the day,  over-against the men, and the women, and those intelligent, and  the ears of all the people [are] unto the book of the law. 
16O 008:004 And Ezra the scribe standeth on a tower of wood that they  made for the purpose, and Mattithiah standeth near him, and  Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on  his right; and on his left Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchijah,  and Hashum, and Hashbaddana, Zechariah, Meshullam. 
16O 008:005 And Ezra openeth the book before the eyes of all the people  -- for above all the people he hath been -- and at his opening  [it] all the people have stood up, 
16O 008:006 and Ezra blesseth Jehovah, the great God, and all the people  answer, `Amen, Amen,' with lifting up of their hands, and they  bow and do obeisance to Jehovah -- faces to the earth. 
16O 008:007 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub,  Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan,  Pelaiah, and the Levites, giving the people understanding in the  law, and the people, [are] on their station, 
16O 008:008 and they read in the book, in the law of God, explaining --  so as to give the meaning, and they give understanding to the  convocation. 
16O 008:009 And Nehemiah -- he [is] the Tirshatha -- saith (and Ezra the  priest, the scribe, and the Levites who are instructing the  people) to all the people, `To-day is holy to Jehovah your God,  do not mourn, nor weep:' for all the people are weeping at  their hearing the words of the law. 
16O 008:010 And he saith to them, `Go, eat fat things, and drink sweet  things, and sent portions to him for whom nothing is prepared,  for to-day [is] holy to our Lord, and be not grieved, for the  joy of Jehovah is your strength.' 
16O 008:011 And the Levites are keeping all the people silent, saying,  `Be silent, for to-day [is] holy, and be not grieved.' 
16O 008:012 And all the people go to eat, and to drink, and to send  portions, and to make great joy, because they have understood  concerning the words that they made known to them. 
16O 008:013 And on the second day have been gathered heads of the  fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto  Ezra the scribe, even to act wisely concerning the words of the  law. 
16O 008:014 And they find written in the law that Jehovah commanded by  the hand of Moses, that the sons of Israel dwell in booths in  the feast, in the seventh month, 
16O 008:015 and that they proclaim and cause to pass over all their  cities, (and in Jerusalem,) saying, `Go ye out to the mount,  and bring leaves of the olive, and leaves of the oil tree, and  leaves of the myrtle, and leaves of the palms, and leaves of  thick trees, to make booths as it is written.' 
16O 008:016 And the people go out, and bring in, and make for  themselves booths, each on his roof, and in their courts, and  in the courts of the house of God, and in the broad place of  the water-gate, and in the broad place of the gate of Ephraim. 
16O 008:017 And they make -- all the assembly of the captives of the  captivity -- booths, and they sit in booths; for the sons of  Israel had not done, from the days of Jeshua son of Nun, so  unto that day, and there is very great joy. 
16O 008:018 And he readeth in the book of the law of God day by day,  from the first day till the last day, and they make a feast  seven days, and on the eighth day a restraint, according to the  ordinance. 
16O 009:001 And in the twenty and fourth day of this month have the sons  of Israel been gathered, with fasting, and with sackcloth, and  earth upon them; 
16O 009:002 and the seed of Israel are separated from all sons of a  stranger, and stand and confess concerning their sins, and the  iniquities of their fathers, 
16O 009:003 and rise up on their station, and read in the book of the  law of Jehovah their God a fourth of the day, and a fourth they  are confessing and bowing themselves to Jehovah their God. 
16O 009:004 And there stand up on the ascent, of the Levites, Jeshua,  and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani,  and they cry with a loud voice unto Jehovah their God. 
16O 009:005 And the Levites say, [even] Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani,  Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, `Rise,  bless Jehovah your God, from the age unto the age, and they  bless the name of Thine honour that [is] exalted above all  blessing and praise. 
16O 009:006 Thou [art] He, O Jehovah, Thyself -- Thou hast made the  heavens, the heavens of the heavens, and all their host, the  earth and all that [are] on it, the seas and all that [are] in  them, and Thou art keeping all of them alive, and the host of  the heavens to Thee are bowing themselves. 
16O 009:007 `Thou [art] He, O Jehovah God, who didst fix on Abraham, and  didst bring him out from Ur of the Chaldeans, and didst make  his name Abraham, 
16O 009:008 and didst find his heart stedfast before Thee, so as to make  with him the covenant, to give the land of the Canaanite, the  Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and  the Girgashite, to give [it] to his seed. `And Thou dost  establish Thy words, for Thou [art] righteous, 
16O 009:009 and dost see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and  their cry hast heard by the sea of Suph, 
16O 009:010 and dost give signs and wonders on Pharaoh, and on all his  servants, and on all the people of his land, for Thou hast  known that they have acted proudly against them, and Thou  makest to Thee a name as [at] this day. 
16O 009:011 And the sea Thou hast cleaved before them, and they pass  over into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and their  pursuers Thou hast cast into the depths, as a stone, into the  strong waters. 
16O 009:012 And by a pillar of cloud Thou hast led them by day, and by  a pillar of fire by night, to lighten to them the way in which  they go. 
16O 009:013 `And on mount Sinai Thou hast come down, even to speak with  them from the heavens, and Thou dost give to them right  judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commands. 
16O 009:014 And Thy holy sabbath Thou hast made known to them, and  commands, and statutes, and law, Thou hast commanded for them,  by the hand of Moses Thy servant; 
16O 009:015 and bread from the heavens Thou hast given to them for  their hunger, and water from a rock hast brought out to them  for their thirst, and dost say to them to go in to possess the  land that Thou hast lifted up Thy hand to give to them. 
16O 009:016 `And they and our fathers have acted proudly, and harden  their neck, and have not hearkened unto Thy commands, 
16O 009:017 yea, they refuse to hearken, and have not remembered Thy  wonders that Thou hast done with them, and harden their neck  and appoint a head, to turn back to their service, in their  rebellion; and Thou [art] a God of pardons, gracious, and  merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in kindness, and hast  not forsaken them. 
16O 009:018 `Also, when they have made to themselves a molten calf, and  say, this [is] thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt, and  do great despisings, 
16O 009:019 and Thou, in Thine abundant mercies, hast not forsaken them  in the wilderness -- the pillar of the cloud hath not turned  aside from off them by day, to lead them in the way, and the  pillar of the fire by night, to give light to them and the way  in which they go. 
16O 009:020 `And Thy good Spirit Thou hast given, to cause them to act  wisely; and Thy manna Thou hast not withheld from their mouth,  and water Thou hast given to them for their thirst, 
16O 009:021 and forty years Thou hast nourished them in a wilderness;  they have not lacked; their garments have not worn out, and  their feet have not swelled. 
16O 009:022 `And Thou givest to them kingdoms, and peoples, and dost  apportion them to the corner, and they possess the land of  Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og  king of Bashan. 
16O 009:023 And their sons Thou hast multiplied as the stars of the  heavens, and bringest them in unto the land that Thou hast said  to their fathers to go in to possess. 
16O 009:024 `And the sons come in, and possess the land, and Thou  humblest before them the inhabitants of the land, the  Canaanites, and givest them into their hand, and their kings,  and the peoples of the land, to do with them according to their  pleasure. 
16O 009:025 And they capture fenced cities, and fat ground, and possess  houses full of all good, digged-wells, vineyards, and  olive-yards, and fruit-trees in abundance, and they eat, and  are satisfied, and become fat, and delight themselves in Thy  great goodness. 
16O 009:026 `And they are disobedient, and rebel against Thee, and cast  Thy law behind their back, and Thy prophets they have slain,  who testified against them, to bring them back unto Thee, and  they do great despisings, 
16O 009:027 and Thou givest them into the hand of their adversaries, and  they distress them, and in the time of their distress they cry  unto Thee, and Thou, from the heavens, dost hear, and,  according to Thine abundant mercies, dost give to them  saviours, and they save them out of the hand of their  adversaries. 
16O 009:028 `And when they have rest, they turn back to do evil before  Thee, and Thou dost leave them in the hand of their enemies,  and they rule over them; and they turn back, and call Thee, and  Thou from the heavens dost hear, and dost deliver them,  according to Thy mercies, many times, 
16O 009:029 and dost testify against them, to bring them back unto Thy  law; and they -- they have acted proudly, and have not  hearkened to Thy commands, and against Thy judgments have  sinned, -- which man doth and hath lived in them -- and they  give a refractory shoulder, and their neck have hardened, and  have not hearkened. 
16O 009:030 `And Thou drawest over them many years, and testifiest  against them by Thy Spirit, by the hand of Thy prophets, and  they have not given ear, and Thou dost give them into the hand  of peoples of the lands, 
16O 009:031 and in Thine abundant mercies Thou hast not made them a  consumption, nor hast forsaken them; for a God, gracious and  merciful, [art] Thou. 
16O 009:032 `And now, O our God -- God, the great, the mighty, and the  fearful, keeping the covenant and the kindness -- let not all  the travail that hath found us be little before Thee, for our  kings, for our heads, and for our priests, and for our  prophets, and for our fathers, and for all Thy people, from the  days of the kings of Asshur unto this day; 
16O 009:033 and Thou [art] righteous concerning all that hath come upon  us, for truth Thou hast done, and we have done wickedly; 
16O 009:034 and our kings, our heads, our priests, and our fathers,  have not done Thy law, nor attended unto Thy commands, and to  Thy testimonies, that Thou hast testified against them; 
16O 009:035 and they, in their kingdom, and in Thine abundant goodness,  that Thou hast given to them, and in the land, the large and the  fat, that Thou hast set before them, have not served Thee, nor  turned back from their evil doings. 
16O 009:036 `Lo, we -- to-day -- [are] servants, and the land that Thou  hast given to our fathers, to eat its fruit and its good -- lo,  we [are] servants on it, 
16O 009:037 and its increase it is multiplying to the kings whom Thou  hast set over us in our sins; and over our bodies they are  ruling, and over our cattle, according to their pleasure, and  we [are] in great distress. 
16O 009:038 And for all this we are making a stedfast covenant, and are  writing, and over him who is sealed [are] our heads, our  Levites, our priests.' 
16O 010:001 And over those sealed [are] Nehemiah the Tirshatha, son of  Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,

16O 010:028 And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the  gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and every one who hath  been separated from the peoples of the lands unto the law of  God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every  knowing intelligent one, 
16O 010:029 are laying hold on their brethren, their honourable ones,  and coming in to an execration, and in to an oath, to walk in  the law of God, that was given by the hand of Moses, servant of  God, and to observe and to do all the commands of Jehovah our  Lord, and His judgments, and His statutes; 
16O 010:030 and that we give not our daughters to the peoples of the  land, and their daughters we take not to our sons; 
16O 010:031 and the peoples of the land who are bringing in the wares  and any corn on the sabbath-day to sell, we receive not of them  on the sabbath, and on a holy day, and we leave the seventh  year, and usury on every hand. 
16O 010:032 And we have appointed for ourselves commands, to put on  ourselves the third of a shekel in a year, for the service of  the house of our God, 
16O 010:033 for bread of the arrangement, and the continual present,  and the continual burnt-offering of the sabbaths, of the new  moons, for appointed seasons, and for holy things, and for  sin-offerings, to make atonement for Israel, even all the work  of the house of our God. 
16O 010:034 And the lots we have caused to fall for the offering of  wood, [among] the priests, the Levites, and the people, to  bring in to the house of our God, by the house of our fathers,  at times appointed, year by year, to burn on the altar of  Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law, 
16O 010:035 and to bring in the first fruits of our ground, and the  first fruits of all fruit of every tree, year by year, to the  house of Jehovah, 
16O 010:036 and the firstlings of our sons, and of our cattle, as it  is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and our  flocks, to bring in to the house of our God, to the priests who  are ministering in the house of our God. 
16O 010:037 And the beginning of our dough, and our heave-offerings,  and the fruit of every tree, of new wine, and of oil, we bring  in to the priests, unto the chambers of the house of our God,  and the tithe of our ground to the Levites; and they -- the  Levites -- have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage; 
16O 010:038 and the priest, son of Aaron, hath been with the Levites  in the tithing of the Levites, and the Levites bring up the  tithe of the tithe to the house of our God unto the chambers,  to the treasure-house; 
16O 010:039 for unto the chambers do they bring in -- the sons of  Israel and the sons of Levi -- the heave-offering of the corn,  the new wine, and the oil, and there [are] vessels of the  sanctuary, and the priests, those ministering, and the  gatekeepers, and the singers, and we do not forsake the house  of our God. 
16O 011:001 And the heads of the people dwell in Jerusalem, and the  rest of the people have caused to fall lots to bring in one out  of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in  the cities, 
16O 011:002 and the people give a blessing to all the men who are  offering themselves willingly to dwell in Jerusalem.

16O 012:011 and Joiada hath begotten Jonathan, and Jonathan hath  begotten Jaddua.

16O 012:022 The Levites, in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan,  and Jaddua, are written, heads of fathers, and of the priests,  in the kingdom of Darius the Persian. 
16O 012:023 Sons of Levi, heads of the fathers, are written on the  book of the Chronicles even till the days of Johanan son of  Eliashib; 
16O 012:024 and heads of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua  son of Kadmiel, and their brethren, [are] over-against them, to  give praise, to give thanks, by command of David the man of  God, charge over-against charge. 
16O 012:025 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon,  Akkub, [are] gatekeepers, keeping charge in the gatherings of  the gates. 
16O 012:026 These [are] in the days of Joiakim son of Jeshua, son of  Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the  priest, the scribe. 
16O 012:027 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought  the Levites out of all their places, to bring them in to  Jerusalem, to make the dedication even with gladness, and with  thanksgivings, and with singing, [with] cymbals, psalteries, and  with harps; 
16O 012:028 and sons of the singers are gathered together even from  the circuit round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of  Netophathi, 
16O 012:029 and from the house of Gilgal, and from fields of Geba and  Azmaveth, for villages have the singers built for themselves  round about Jerusalem; 
16O 012:030 and the priests and the Levites are cleansed, and they  cleanse the people, and the gates, and the wall. 
16O 012:031 And I bring up the heads of Judah upon the wall, and  appoint two great thanksgiving companies and processions. At  the right, on the wall, to the dung-gate; 
16O 012:032 and after them goeth Hoshaiah, and half of the heads of  Judah, 
16O 012:033 and Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam, 
16O 012:034 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah; 
16O 012:035 and of the sons of the priests with trumpets, Zechariah  son of Jonathan, son of Shemaiah, son of Mattaniah, son of  Michaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph, 
16O 012:036 and his brethren Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai,  Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with instruments of song of  David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe [is] before them; 
16O 012:037 and by the gate of the fountain and over-against them,  they have gone up by the steps of the city of David, at the  going up of the wall beyond the house of David, and unto the  water-gate eastward. 
16O 012:038 And the second thanksgiving company that is going  over-against, and I after it, and half of the people on the  wall from beyond the tower of the furnaces and unto the broad  wall, 
16O 012:039 and from beyond the gate of Ephraim, and by the old-gate,  and by the fish-gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower  of Meah, and unto the sheep-gate -- and they have stood at the  prison-gate. 
16O 012:040 And the two thanksgiving companies stand in the house of  God, and I and half of the prefects with me, 
16O 012:041 and the priests, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah,  Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets, 
16O 012:042 and Masseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and  Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer, and the singers  sound, and Jezrahiah the inspector; 
16O 012:043 and they sacrifice on that day great sacrifices and  rejoice, for God hath made them rejoice [with] great joy, and  also, the women and the children have rejoiced, and the joy of  Jerusalem is heard -- unto a distance. 
16O 012:044 And certain are appointed on that day over the chambers  for treasures, for heave-offerings, for first-fruits, and for  tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the  portions of the law for priests, and for Levites, for the joy  of Judah [is] over the priests, and over the Levites, who are  standing up. 
16O 012:045 And the singers and the gatekeepers keep the charge of  their God, even the charge of the cleansing -- according to the  command of David [and] Solomon his son, 
16O 012:046 for in the days of David and Asaph of old [were] heads of  the singers, and a song of praise and thanksgiving to God. 
16O 012:047 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days  of Nehemiah, are giving the portions of the singers, and of the  gatekeepers, the matter of a day in its day, and are  sanctifying to the Levites, and the Levites are sanctifying to  the sons of Aaron. 
16O 013:001 On that day there was read in the book of Moses, in the  ears of the people, and it hath been found written in it that  an Ammonite and Moabite doth not come into the assembly of God  -- unto the age, 
16O 013:002 because they have not come before the sons of Israel with  bread and with water, and hire against them Balaam to revile  them, and our God turneth the reviling into a blessing. 
16O 013:003 And it cometh to pass, at their hearing the law, that they  separate all the mixed people from Israel. 
16O 013:004 And before this Eliashib the priest, appointed over  chambers of the house of our God, [is] a relation of Tobiah, 
16O 013:005 and he maketh for him a great chamber, and there they were  formerly putting the present, the frankincense, and the  vessels, and the tithe of the corn, the new wine, and the oil  -- the commanded thing of the Levites, and the singers, and the  gatekeepers -- and the heave-offering of the priests. 
16O 013:006 And during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the  thirty and second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon did I come  unto the king, and at the end of days I have asked of the king, 
16O 013:007 and I come in to Jerusalem, and understand concerning the  evil that Eliashib hath done for Tobiah, to make to him a  chamber in the courts of the house of God, 
16O 013:008 and it is very displeasing to me, and I cast all the  vessels of the house of Tobiah without, out of the chamber, 
16O 013:009 and I speak, and they cleanse the chambers, and I bring  back thither the vessels of the house of God with the present  and the frankincense. 
16O 013:010 And I know that the portions of the Levites have not been  given, and they flee each to his field -- the Levites and the  singers, doing the work. 
16O 013:011 And I strive with the prefects, and say, `Wherefore hath  the house of God been forsaken?' and I gather them, and set  them on their station; 
16O 013:012 and all Judah have brought in the tithe of the corn, and  of the new wine, and of the oil, to the treasuries. 
16O 013:013 And I appoint treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah  the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites;  and by their hand [is] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah,  for stedfast they have been reckoned, and on them [it is] to  give a portion to their brethren. 
16O 013:014 Be mindful of me, O my God, for this, and do not blot out  my kind acts that I have done, for the house of my God, and for  its charges. 
16O 013:015 In those days I have seen in Judah those treading  wine-vats on sabbath, and bringing in the sheaves, and lading  on the asses, and also, wine, grapes, and figs, and every  burden, yea, they are bringing in to Jerusalem on the  sabbath-day, and I testify in the day of their selling  provision. 
16O 013:016 And the Tyrians have dwelt in it, bringing in fish, and  every ware, and selling on sabbath to the sons of Judah and in  Jerusalem. 
16O 013:017 And I strive with the freemen of Judah, and say to them,  `What [is] this evil thing that ye are doing, and polluting the  sabbath-day? 
16O 013:018 Thus did not your fathers do? and our God bringeth in on  us all this evil, and on this city, and ye are adding  fierceness on Israel, to pollute the sabbath.' 
16O 013:019 And it cometh to pass, when the gates of Jerusalem have  been dark before the sabbath, that I speak, and the doors are  shut, and I say, that they do not open them till after the  sabbath; and of my servants I have stationed at the gates;  there doth not come in a burden on the sabbath-day. 
16O 013:020 And they lodge -- the merchants and sellers of all ware --  at the outside of Jerusalem, once or twice, 
16O 013:021 and I testify against them, and say unto them, `Wherefore  are ye lodging over-against the wall? if ye repeat [it], a hand  I put forth upon you;' from that time they have not come in on  the sabbath. 
16O 013:022 And I say to the Levites, that they be cleansed, and,  coming in, keeping the gates, to sanctify the sabbath-day.  Also, this, remember for me, O my God, and have pity on me,  according to the abundance of Thy kindness. 
16O 013:023 Also, in those days, I have seen the Jews [who] have  settled women of Ashdod, of Ammon, of Moab. 
16O 013:024 And of their sons, half are speaking Ashdoditish -- and  are not knowing to speak Jewish -- and according to the  language of people and people. 
16O 013:025 And I strive with them, and declare them vile, and smite  certain of them, and pluck off their hair, and cause them to  swear by God, `Ye do not give your daughters to their sons, nor  do ye take of their daughters to your sons, and to yourselves. 
16O 013:026 `By these did not Solomon king of Israel sin? and among  the many nations there was no king like him, and beloved by his  God he was, and God maketh him king over all Israel -- even him  did the strange women cause to sin. 
16O 013:027 And to you do we hearken to do all this great evil, to  trespass against our God, to settle strange women?' 
16O 013:028 And [one] of the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the high  priest, [is] son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite, and I cause  him to flee from off me. 
16O 013:029 Be mindful of them, O my God, for the redeemed of the  priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the  Levites. 
16O 013:030 And I have cleansed them from every stranger, and appoint  charges to priests and to Levites, each in his work, 
16O 013:031 and for the wood-offering at appointed times, and for  first-fruits. Be mindful of me, O my God, for good.  
17O 001:001 And it cometh to pass, in the days of Ahasuerus -- he [is]  Ahasuerus who is reigning from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and  twenty and a hundred provinces -- 
17O 001:002 in those days, at the sitting of the king Ahasuerus on the  throne of his kingdom, that [is] in Shushan the palace, 
17O 001:003 in the third year of his reign, he hath made a banquet to  all his heads and his servants; of the force of Persia and  Media, the chiefs and heads of the provinces [are] before him, 
17O 001:004 in his shewing the wealth of the honour of his kingdom, and  the glory of the beauty of his greatness, many days -- eighty  and a hundred days. 
17O 001:005 And at the fulness of these days hath the king made to all  the people who are found in Shushan the palace, from great even  unto small, a banquet, seven days, in the court of the garden  of the house of the king -- 
17O 001:006 white linen, white cotton, and blue, fastened with cords of  fine linen and purple on rings of silver, and pillars of  marble, couches of gold, and of silver, on a pavement of  smaragdus, and white marble, and mother-of-pearl, and black  marble -- 
17O 001:007 and the giving of drink in vessels of gold, and the vessels  [are] divers vessels, and the royal wine [is] abundant, as a  memorial of the king. 
17O 001:008 And the drinking [is] according to law, none is pressing,  for so hath the king appointed for every chief one of his  house, to do according to the pleasure of man and man. 
17O 001:009 Also Vashti the queen hath made a banquet for women, in the  royal house that the king Ahasuerus hath. 
17O 001:010 On the seventh day, as the heart of the king is glad with  wine, he hath said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and  Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who are  ministering in the presence of the king Ahasuerus, 
17O 001:011 to bring in Vashti the queen before the king, with a royal  crown, to shew the peoples and the heads her beauty, for she  [is] of good appearance, 
17O 001:012 and the queen Vashti refuseth to come in at the word of the  king that [is] by the hand of the eunuchs, and the king is very  wroth, and his fury hath burned in him. 
17O 001:013 And the king saith to wise men, knowing the times -- for so  [is] the word of the king before all knowing law and judgment, 
17O 001:014 and he who is near unto him [is] Carshena, Shethar,  Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, Memucan, seven heads of  Persia and Media seeing the face of the king, who are sitting  first in the kingdom -- 
17O 001:015 `According to law, what -- to do with queen Vashti, because  that she hath not done the saying of the king Ahasuerus by the  hand of the eunuchs?' 
17O 001:016 And Memucan saith before the king and the heads, `Not  against the king by himself hath Vashti the queen done  perversely, but against all the heads, and against all the  peoples that [are] in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus; 
17O 001:017 for go forth doth the word of the queen unto all the women,  to render their husbands contemptible in their eyes, in their  saying, The king Ahasuerus said to bring in Vashti the queen  before him, and she did not come; 
17O 001:018 yea, this day do princesses of Persia and Media, who have  heard the word of the queen, say [so] to all heads of the king,  even according to the sufficiency of contempt and wrath. 
17O 001:019 `If to the king [it be] good, there goeth forth a royal  word from before him, and it is written with the laws of Persia  and Media, and doth not pass away, that Vashti doth not come in  before the king Ahasuerus, and her royalty doth the king give  to her companion who [is] better than she; 
17O 001:020 and the sentence of the king that he maketh hath been heard  in all his kingdom -- for it [is] great -- and all the wives  give honour to their husbands, from great even unto small.' 
17O 001:021 And the thing is good in the eyes of the king, and of the  princes, and the king doth according to the word of Memucan, 
17O 001:022 and sendeth letters unto all provinces of the king, unto  province and province according to its writing, and unto people  and people according to its tongue, for every man being head in  his own house -- and speaking according to the language of his  people. 
17O 002:001 After these things, at the ceasing of the fury of the king  Ahasuerus, he hath remembered Vashti, and that which she did,  and that which hath been decreed concerning her; 
17O 002:002 and servants of the king, his ministers, say, `Let them seek  for the king young women, virgins, of good appearance, 
17O 002:003 and the king doth appoint inspectors in all provinces of his  kingdom, and they gather every young woman -- virgin, of good  appearance -- unto Shushan the palace, unto the house of the  women, unto the hand of Hege eunuch of the king, keeper of the  women, and to give their purifications, 
17O 002:004 and the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king doth  reign instead of Vashti;' and the thing is good in the eyes of  the king, and he doth so. 
17O 002:005 A man, a Jew, there hath been in Shushan the palace, and his  name [is] Mordecai son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a  Benjamite -- 
17O 002:006 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the removal that  was removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar  king of Babylon removed -- 
17O 002:007 and he is supporting Hadassah -- she [is] Esther -- daughter  of his uncle, for she hath neither father nor mother, and the  young woman [is] of fair form, and of good appearance, and at  the death of her father and her mother hath Mordecai taken her  to him for a daughter. 
17O 002:008 And it cometh to pass, in the word of the king, even his  law, being heard, and in many young women being gathered unto  Shushan the palace, unto the hand of Hegai, that Esther is  taken unto the house of the king, unto the hand of Hegai,  keeper of the women, 
17O 002:009 and the young woman is good in his eyes, and she receiveth  kindness before him, and he hasteneth her purifications and her  portions -- to give to her, and the seven young women who are  provided -- to give to her, from the house of the king, and he  changeth her and her young women to a good [place in] the house  of the women. 
17O 002:010 Esther hath not declared her people, and her kindred, for  Mordecai hath laid a charge on her that she doth not declare  [it]; 
17O 002:011 and during every day Mordecai is walking up and down before  the court of the house of the women to know the welfare of  Esther, and what is done with her. 
17O 002:012 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of each young woman to  come in unto the king Ahasuerus, at the end of there being to  her -- according to the law of the women -- twelve months, for  so they fulfil the days of their purifications; six months with  oil of myrrh, and six months with spices, and with the  purifications of women, 
17O 002:013 and with this the young woman hath come in unto the king,  all that she saith is given to her, to go in with her, out of  the house of the women, unto the house of the king; 
17O 002:014 in the evening she hath gone in, and in the morning she  hath turned back unto the second house of the women, unto the  hand of Shaashgaz eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines;  she cometh not in any more unto the king except the king hath  delighted in her, and she hath been called by name. 
17O 002:015 And in the drawing nigh of the turn of Esther -- daughter  of Abihail, uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to him for a  daughter -- to come in unto the king, she hath not sought a  thing except that which Hegai eunuch of the king, keeper of the  women, saith, and Esther is receiving grace in the eyes of all  seeing her. 
17O 002:016 And Esther is taken unto the king Ahasuerus, unto his royal  house, in the tenth month -- it [is] the month of Tebeth -- in  the seventh year of his reign, 
17O 002:017 and the king loveth Esther above all the women, and she  receiveth grace and kindness before him above all the virgins,  and he setteth a royal crown on her head, and causeth her to  reign instead of Vashti, 
17O 002:018 and the king maketh a great banquet to all his heads and  his servants -- the banquet of Esther -- and a release to the  provinces hath made, and giveth gifts as a memorial of the  king. 
17O 002:019 And in the virgins being gathered a second time, then  Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the king; 
17O 002:020 Esther is not declaring her kindred and her people, as  Mordecai hath laid a charge upon her, and the saying of  Mordecai Esther is doing as when she was truly with him. 
17O 002:021 In those days, when Mordecai is sitting in the gate of the  king, hath Bigthan been wroth, and Teresh, (two of the eunuchs  of the king, the keepers of the threshold,) and they seek to  put forth a hand on king Ahasuerus, 
17O 002:022 and the thing is known to Mordecai, and he declareth [it]  to Esther the queen, and Esther speaketh to the king in the  name of Mordecai, 
17O 002:023 and the thing is sought out, and found, and they are hanged  both of them on a tree, and it is written in the book of the  Chronicles before the king. 
17O 003:001 After these things hath the king Ahasuerus exalted Haman son  of Hammedatha the Agagite, and lifteth him up, and setteth his  throne above all the heads who [are] with him, 
17O 003:002 and all servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the  king, are bowing and doing obeisance to Haman, for so hath the  king commanded for him; and Mordecai doth not bow nor do  obeisance. 
17O 003:003 And the servants of the king, who [are] in the gate of the  king, say to Mordecai, `Wherefore [art] thou transgressing the  command of the king?' 
17O 003:004 And it cometh to pass, in their speaking unto him, day by  day, and he hath not hearkened unto them, that they declare  [it] to Haman, to see whether the words of Mordecai do stand,  for he hath declared to them that he [is] a Jew. 
17O 003:005 And Haman seeth that Mordecai is not bowing and doing  obeisance to him, and Haman is full of fury, 
17O 003:006 and it is contemptible in his eyes to put forth a hand on  Mordecai by himself, for they have declared to him the people  of Mordecai, and Haman seeketh to destroy all the Jews who  [are] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus -- the people of  Mordecai. 
17O 003:007 In the first month -- it [is] the month of Nisan -- in the  twelfth year of the king Ahasuerus, hath one caused to fall Pur  (that [is] the lot) before Haman, from day to day, and from  month to month, [to] the twelfth, it [is] the month of Adar. 
17O 003:008 And Haman saith to the king Ahasuerus, `There is one people  scattered and separated among the peoples, in all provinces of  thy kingdom, and their laws [are] diverse from all people, and  the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is  not profitable to suffer them; 
17O 003:009 if to the king [it be] good, let it be written to destroy  them, and ten thousand talents of silver I weigh into the hands  of those doing the work, to bring [it] in unto the treasuries  of the king.' 
17O 003:010 And the king turneth aside his signet from off his hand,  and giveth it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary  of the Jews; 
17O 003:011 and the king saith to Haman, `The silver is given to thee,  and the people, to do with it as [it is] good in thine eyes.' 
17O 003:012 And scribes of the king are called, on the first month, on  the thirteenth day of it, and it is written according to all  that Haman hath commanded, unto lieutenants of the king, and  unto the governors who [are] over province and province, and  unto the heads of people and people, province and province,  according to its writing, and people and people according to  its tongue, in the name of the king Ahasuerus it hath been  written and sealed with the signet of the king, 
17O 003:013 and letters to be sent by the hand of the runners unto all  provinces of the king, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy all  the Jews, from young even unto old, infant and women, on one  day, on the thirteenth of the twelfth month -- it [is] the  month of Adar -- and their spoil to seize, 
17O 003:014 a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and  province is revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this  day. 
17O 003:015 The runners have gone forth, hastened by the word of the  king, and the law hath been given in Shushan the palace, and  the king and Haman have sat down to drink, and the city Shushan  is perplexed. 
17O 004:001 And Mordecai hath known all that hath been done, and  Mordecai rendeth his garments, and putteth on sackcloth and  ashes, and goeth forth into the midst of the city and crieth --  a cry loud and bitter, 
17O 004:002 and he cometh in unto the front of the gate of the king, but  none is to come in unto the gate of the king with a  sackcloth-garment. 
17O 004:003 And in every province and province, the place where the word  of the king, even his law, is coming, a great mourning have the  Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and lamenting: sackcloth and  ashes are spread for many. 
17O 004:004 And young women of Esther come in and her eunuchs, and  declare [it] to her, and the queen is exceedingly pained, and  sendeth garments to clothe Mordecai, and to turn aside his  sackcloth from off him, and he hath not received [them]. 
17O 004:005 And Esther calleth to Hatach, of the eunuchs of the king,  whom he hath stationed before her, and giveth him a charge for  Mordecai, to know what this [is], and wherefore this [is]. 
17O 004:006 And Hatach goeth out unto Mordecai, unto a broad place of  the city, that [is] before the gate of the king, 
17O 004:007 and Mordecai declareth to him all that hath met him, and the  explanation of the money that Haman said to weigh to the  treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them, 
17O 004:008 and the copy of the writing of the law that had been given  in Shushan to destroy them he hath given to him, to shew  Esther, and to declare [it] to her, and to lay a charge on her  to go in unto the king, to make supplication to him, and to  seek from before him, for her people. 
17O 004:009 And Hatach cometh in and declareth to Esther the words of  Mordecai, 
17O 004:010 and Esther speaketh to Hatach, and chargeth him for  Mordecai: 
17O 004:011 `All servants of the king, and people of the provinces of  the king, do know that any man and woman, who cometh in unto  the king, unto the inner court, who is not called -- one law  [of] his [is] to put [them] to death, apart from him to whom  the king holdeth out the golden sceptre, then he hath lived;  and I -- I have not been called to come in unto the king these  thirty days.' 
17O 004:012 And they declare to Mordecai the words of Esther, 
17O 004:013 and Mordecai speaketh to send back unto Esther: `Do not  think in thy soul to be delivered [in] the house of the king,  more than all the Jews, 
17O 004:014 but if thou keep entirely silent at this time, respite and  deliverance remaineth to the Jews from another place, and thou  and the house of thy fathers are destroyed; and who knoweth  whether for a time like this thou hast come to the kingdom?' 
17O 004:015 And Esther speaketh to send back unto Mordecai: 
17O 004:016 `Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast  for me, and do not eat nor drink three days, by night and by  day; also I and my young women do fast likewise, and so I go in  unto the king, that [is] not according to law, and when I have  perished -- I have perished.' 
17O 004:017 And Mordecai passeth on, and doth according to all that  Esther hath charged upon him. 
17O 005:001 And it cometh to pass on the third day, that Esther putteth  on royalty, and standeth in the inner-court of the house of the  king over-against the house of the king, and the king is  sitting on his royal throne, in the royal-house, over-against  the opening of the house, 
17O 005:002 and it cometh to pass, at the king's seeing Esther the queen  standing in the court, she hath received grace in his eyes, and  the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre that [is] in  his hand, and Esther draweth near, and toucheth the top of the  sceptre. 
17O 005:003 And the king saith to her, `What -- to thee Esther, O queen?  and what thy request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is  given to thee.' 
17O 005:004 And Esther saith, `If unto the king [it be] good, the king  doth come in, and Haman, to-day, unto the banquet that I have  made for him;' 
17O 005:005 and the king saith, `Haste ye Haman -- to do the word of  Esther;' and the king cometh in, and Haman, unto the banquet  that Esther hath made. 
17O 005:006 And the king saith to Esther, during the banquet of wine,  `What [is] thy petition? and it is given to thee; and what thy  request? unto the half of the kingdom -- and it is done.' 
17O 005:007 And Esther answereth and saith, `My petition and my request  [is]: 
17O 005:008 if I have found grace in the eyes of the king, and if unto  the king [it be] good, to give my petition, and to perform my  request, the king doth come, and Haman, unto the banquet that I  make for them, and to-morrow I do according to the word of the  king.' 
17O 005:009 And Haman goeth forth on that day rejoicing and glad in  heart, and at Haman's seeing Mordecai in the gate of the king,  and he hath not risen nor moved for him, then is Haman full of  fury against Mordecai. 
17O 005:010 And Haman forceth himself, and cometh in unto his house,  and sendeth, and bringeth in his friends, and Zeresh his wife, 
17O 005:011 and Haman recounteth to them the glory of his wealth, and  the abundance of his sons, and all that with which the king  made him great, and with which he lifted him up above the heads  and servants of the king. 
17O 005:012 And Haman saith, `Yea, Esther the queen brought none in  with the king, unto the feast that she made, except myself, and  also for to-morrow I am called to her, with the king, 
17O 005:013 and all this is not profitable to me, during all the time  that I am seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting in the gate of the  king.' 
17O 005:014 And Zeresh his wife saith to him, and all his friends, `Let  them prepare a tree, in height fifty cubits, and in the morning  speak to the king, and they hang Mordecai on it, and go thou in  with the king unto the banquet rejoicing;' and the thing is  good before Haman, and he prepareth the tree. 
17O 006:001 On that night hath the sleep of the king fled away, and he  saith to bring in the book of memorials of the Chronicles, and  they are read before the king, 
17O 006:002 and it is found written that Mordecai had declared  concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of the king,  of the keepers of the threshold, who sought to put forth a hand  on king Ahasuerus. 
17O 006:003 And the king saith, `What honour and greatness hath been  done to Mordecai for this?' And the servants of the king, his  ministers, say, `Nothing hath been done with him.' 
17O 006:004 And the king saith, `Who [is] in the court?' -- and Haman  hath come in to the outer court of the house of the king, to  say to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree that he had  prepared for him -- 
17O 006:005 and the servants of the king say unto him, `Lo, Haman is  standing in the court;' and the king saith, `Let him come in.' 
17O 006:006 And Haman cometh in, and the king saith to him, `What -- to  do with the man in whose honour the king hath delighted?' And  Haman saith in his heart, `To whom doth the king delight to do  honour more than myself?' 
17O 006:007 And Haman saith unto the king, `The man in whose honour the  king hath delighted, 
17O 006:008 let them bring in royal clothing that the king hath put on  himself, and a horse on which the king hath ridden, and that  the royal crown be put on his head, 
17O 006:009 and to give the clothing and the horse into the hand of a  man of the heads of the king, the chiefs, and they have  clothed the man in whose honour the king hath delighted, and  caused him to ride on the horse in a broad place of the city,  and called before him: Thus it is done to the man in whose  honour the king hath delighted.' 
17O 006:010 And the king saith to Haman, `Haste, take the clothing and  the horse, as thou hast spoken, and do so to Mordecai the Jew,  who is sitting in the gate of the king; there doth not fall a  thing of all that thou hast spoken.' 
17O 006:011 And Haman taketh the clothing, and the horse, and clothed  Mordecai, and causeth him to ride in a broad place of the city,  and calleth before him, `Thus it is done to the man in whose  honour the king hath delighted.' 
17O 006:012 And Mordecai turneth back unto the gate of the king, and  Haman hath been hastened unto his house mourning, and with  covered head, 
17O 006:013 and Haman recounteth to Zeresh his wife, and to all his  friends, all that hath met him, and his wise men say to him,  and Zeresh his wife, `If Mordecai [is] of the seed of the Jews,  before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou art not able for him,  but dost certainly fall before him.' 
17O 006:014 They are yet speaking with him, and eunuchs of the king  have come, and haste to bring in Haman unto the banquet that  Esther hath made. 
17O 007:001 And the king cometh in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the  queen, 
17O 007:002 and the king saith to Esther also on the second day, during  the banquet of wine, `What [is] thy petition, Esther, O queen?  and it is given to thee; and what thy request? unto the half of  the kingdom -- and it is done.' 
17O 007:003 And Esther the queen answereth and saith, `If I have found  grace in thine eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good,  let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my  request; 
17O 007:004 for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay,  and to destroy; and if for men-servants and for maid-servants  we had been sold I had kept silent -- but the adversity is not  equal to the loss of the king.' 
17O 007:005 And the king Ahasuerus saith, yea, he saith to Esther the  queen, `Who [is] he -- this one? and where [is] this one? -- he  whose heart hath filled him to do so?' 
17O 007:006 And Esther saith, `The man -- adversary and enemy -- [is]  this wicked Haman;' and Haman hath been afraid at the presence  of the king and of the queen. 
17O 007:007 And the king hath risen, in his fury, from the banquet of  wine, unto the garden of the house, and Haman hath remained to  seek for his life from Esther the queen, for he hath seen that  evil hath been determined against him by the king. 
17O 007:008 And the king hath turned back out of the garden of the house  unto the house of the banquet of wine, and Haman is falling on  the couch on which Esther [is], and the king saith, `Also to  subdue the queen with me in the house?' the word hath gone out  from the mouth of the king, and the face of Haman they have  covered. 
17O 007:009 And Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, saith before the king,  `Also lo, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spake good  for the king, is standing in the house of Haman, in height  fifty cubits;' and the king saith, `Hang him upon it.' 
17O 007:010 And they hang Haman upon the tree that he had prepared for  Mordecai, and the fury of the king hath lain down. 
17O 008:001 On that day hath the king Ahasuerus given to Esther the  queen the house of Haman, adversary of the Jews, and Mordecai  hath come in before the king, for Esther hath declared what he  [is] to her, 
17O 008:002 and the king turneth aside his signet, that he hath caused  to pass away from Haman, and giveth it to Mordecai, and Esther  setteth Mordecai over the house of Haman. 
17O 008:003 And Esther addeth, and speaketh before the king, and falleth  before his feet, and weepeth, and maketh supplication to him,  to cause the evil of Haman the Agagite to pass away, and his  device that he had devised against the Jews; 
17O 008:004 and the king holdeth out to Esther the golden sceptre, and  Esther riseth, and standeth before the king, 
17O 008:005 and saith, `If to the king [it be] good, and if I have found  grace before him, and the thing hath been right before the  king, and I [be] good in his eyes, let it be written to bring  back the letters -- a device of Haman son of Hammedatha the  Agagite -- that he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all  provinces of the king, 
17O 008:006 for how do I endure when I have looked on the evil that doth  find my people? and how do I endure when I have looked on the  destruction of my kindred?' 
17O 008:007 And the king Ahasuerus saith to Esther the queen, and to  Mordecai the Jew, `Lo, the house of Haman I have given to  Esther, and him they have hanged on the tree, because that he  put forth his hand on the Jews, 
17O 008:008 and ye, write ye for the Jews, as [it is] good in your eyes,  in the name of the king, and seal with the signet of the king  -- for the writing that is written in the name of the king, and  sealed with the signet of the king, there is none to turn back.' 
17O 008:009 And the scribes of the king are called, at that time, in the  third month -- it [is] the month of Sivan -- in the three and  twentieth of it, and it is written, according to all that  Mordecai hath commanded, unto the Jews, and unto the  lieutenants, and the governors, and the heads of the provinces,  that [are] from Hodu even unto Cush, seven and twenty and a  hundred provinces -- province and province according to its  writing, and people and people according to its tongue, and  unto the Jews according to their writing, and according to  their tongue. 
17O 008:010 And he writeth in the name of the king Ahasuerus, and  sealeth with the signet of the king, and sendeth letters by the  hand of the runners with horses, riders of the dromedary, the  mules, the young mares, 
17O 008:011 that the king hath given to the Jews who [are] in every  city and city, to be assembled, and to stand for their life, to  cut off, to slay, and to destroy the whole force of the people  and province who are distressing them, infants and women, and  their spoil to seize. 
17O 008:012 In one day, in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, on  the thirteenth of the twelfth month -- it [is] the month of  Adar -- 
17O 008:013 a copy of the writing to be made law in every province and  province is revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews being  ready at this day to be avenged of their enemies. 
17O 008:014 The runners, riding on the dromedary, [and] the mules, have  gone out, hastened and pressed by the word of the king, and the  law hath been given in Shushan the palace. 
17O 008:015 And Mordecai went out from before the king, in royal  clothing of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a  garment of fine linen and purple, and the city of Shushan hath  rejoiced and been glad; 
17O 008:016 to the Jews hath been light, and gladness, and joy, and  honour, 
17O 008:017 and in every province and province, and in every city and  city, the place where the word of the king, even his law, is  coming, gladness and joy [are] to the Jews, a banquet, and a  good day; and many of the peoples of the land are becoming  Jews, for a fear of the Jews hath fallen upon them. 
17O 009:001 And in the twelfth month -- it [is] the month of Adar -- on  the thirteenth day of it, in which the word of the king, even  his law, hath come to be done, in the day that the enemies of  the Jews had hoped to rule over them, and it is turned that the  Jews rule over those hating them -- 
17O 009:002 the Jews have been assembled in their cities, in all  provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to put forth a hand on those  seeking their evil, and no man hath stood in their presence,  for their fear hath fallen on all the peoples. 
17O 009:003 And all heads of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the  governors, and those doing the work that the king hath, are  lifting up the Jews, for a fear of Mordecai hath fallen upon  them; 
17O 009:004 for great [is] Mordecai in the house of the king, and his  fame is going into all the provinces, for the man Mordecai is  going on and becoming great. 
17O 009:005 And the Jews smite among all their enemies -- a smiting of  the sword, and slaughter, and destruction -- and do with those  hating them according to their pleasure, 
17O 009:006 and in Shushan the palace have the Jews slain and destroyed  five hundred men; 
17O 009:007 and Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha, 
17O 009:008 and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 
17O 009:009 and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha, 
17O 009:010 ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, adversary of the Jews,  they have slain, and on the prey they have not put forth their  hand. 
17O 009:011 On that day hath come the number of the slain in Shushan  the palace before the king, 
17O 009:012 and the king saith to Esther the queen, `In Shushan the  palace have the Jews slain and destroyed five hundred men, and  the ten sons of Haman; in the rest of the provinces of the king  what have they done? and what [is] thy petition? and it is  given to thee; and what thy request again? and it is done.' 
17O 009:013 And Esther saith, `If to the king [it be] good, let it be  given also to-morrow, to the Jews who [are] in Shushan, to do  according to the law of to-day; and the ten sons of Haman they  hang on the tree.' 
17O 009:014 And the king saith -- `to be done so;' and a law is given  in Shushan, and the ten sons of Haman they have hanged. 
17O 009:015 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan are assembled also on the  fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they slay in Shushan  three hundred men, and on the prey they have not put forth  their hand. 
17O 009:016 And the rest of the Jews, who [are] in the provinces of the  king, have been assembled, even to stand for their life, and to  rest from their enemies, and to slay among those hating them  five and seventy thousand, and on the prey they have not put  forth their hand; 
17O 009:017 on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar, even to rest on  the fourteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet and of  joy. 
17O 009:018 And the Jews who [are] in Shushan have been assembled, on  the thirteenth day of it, and on the fourteenth of it, even to  rest on the fifteenth of it, and to make it a day of banquet  and of joy. 
17O 009:019 Therefore the Jews of the villages, who are dwelling in  cities of the villages, are making the fourteenth day of the  month of Adar -- joy and banquet, and a good day, and of sending  portions one to another. 
17O 009:020 And Mordecai writeth these things, and sendeth letters unto  all the Jews who [are] in all provinces of the king Ahasuerus,  who are near and who are far off, 
17O 009:021 to establish on them, to be keeping the fourteenth day of  the month of Adar, and the fifteenth day of it, in every year  and year, 
17O 009:022 as days on which the Jews have rested from their enemies,  and the month that hath been turned to them from sorrow to joy,  and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of banquet  and of joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts  to the needy. 
17O 009:023 And the Jews have received that which they had begun to do,  and that which Mordecai hath written unto them, 
17O 009:024 because Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, adversary of  all the Jews, had devised concerning the Jews to destroy them,  and had caused to fall Pur -- that [is] the lot -- to crush  them and to destroy them; 
17O 009:025 and in her coming in before the king, he said with the  letter, `Let his evil device that he devised against the Jews  turn back upon his own head,' and they have hanged him and his  sons on the tree, 
17O 009:026 therefore they have called these days Purim -- by the name  of the lot -- therefore, because of all the words of this  letter, and what they have seen concerning this, and what hath  come unto them, 
17O 009:027 the Jews have established and received upon them, and upon  their seed, and upon all those joined unto them, and it doth  not pass away, to be keeping these two days according to their  writing, and according to their season, in every year and year; 
17O 009:028 and these days are remembered and kept in every generation  and generation, family and family, province and province, and  city and city, and these days of Purim do not pass away from  the midst of the Jews, and their memorial is not ended from  their seed. 
17O 009:029 And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, writeth, and  Mordecai the Jew, with all might, to establish this second  letter of Purim, 
17O 009:030 and he sendeth letters unto all the Jews, unto the seven  and twenty and a hundred provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus  -- words of peace and truth -- 
17O 009:031 to establish these days of Purim, in their seasons, as  Mordecai the Jew hath established on them, and Esther the  queen, and as they had established on themselves, and on their  seed -- matters of the fastings, and of their cry. 
17O 009:032 And a saying of Esther hath established these matters of  Purim, and it is written in the Book. 
17O 010:001 And the king Ahasuerus setteth a tribute on the land and  the isles of the sea; 
17O 010:002 and all the work of his strength, and his might, and the  explanation of the greatness of Mordecai with which the king  made him great, are they not written on the book of the  Chronicles of Media and Persia? 
17O 010:003 For Mordecai the Jew [is] second to king Ahasuerus, and a  great man of the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his  brethren, seeking good for his people, and speaking peace to  all his seed. 
18O 001:001 A man there hath been in the land of Uz -- Job his name --  and that man hath been perfect and upright -- both fearing God,  and turning aside from evil. 
18O 001:002 And there are borne to him seven sons and three daughters, 
18O 001:003 and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three  thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five  hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is  greater than any of the sons of the east. 
18O 001:004 And his sons have gone and made a banquet -- the house of  each [in] his day -- and have sent and called to their three  sisters to eat and to drink with them; 
18O 001:005 and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of  the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath  risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend  burnt-offerings -- the number of them all -- for Job said,  `Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.'  Thus doth Job all the days. 
18O 001:006 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station  themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary  in their midst. 
18O 001:007 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence comest thou?'  And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to  and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.' 
18O 001:008 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy  heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in  the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning  aside from evil?' 
18O 001:009 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `For nought  is Job fearing God? 
18O 001:010 Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and  for all that he hath -- round about? 
18O 001:011 The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance  hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy  hand, and strike against anything that he hath -- if not: to  Thy face he doth bless Thee!' 
18O 001:012 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, all that he hath  [is] in thy hand, only unto him put not forth thy hand.' And  the Adversary goeth out from the presence of Jehovah. 
18O 001:013 And the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating,  and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the  first-born. 
18O 001:014 And a messenger hath come in unto Job and saith, `The oxen  have been plowing, and the she-asses feeding by their sides, 
18O 001:015 and Sheba doth fall, and take them, and the young men they  have smitten by the mouth of the sword, and I am escaped --  only I alone -- to declare [it] to thee.' 
18O 001:016 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and  saith, `Fire of God hath fallen from the heavens, and burneth  among the flock, and among the young men, and consumeth them,  and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare [it] to thee.' 
18O 001:017 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and  saith, `Chaldeans made three heads, and rush on the camels, and  take them, and the young men they have smitten by the mouth of  the sword, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare [it]  to thee.' 
18O 001:018 While this [one] is speaking another also hath come and  saith, `Thy sons and thy daughters are eating, and drinking  wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born. 
18O 001:019 And lo, a great wind hath come from over the wilderness,  and striketh against the four corners of the house, and it  falleth on the young men, and they are dead, and I am escaped  -- only I alone -- to declare [it] to thee.' 
18O 001:020 And Job riseth, and rendeth his robe, and shaveth his head,  and falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance, 
18O 001:021 and he saith, `Naked came I forth from the womb of my  mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and  Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.' 
18O 001:022 In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God. 
18O 002:001 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station  themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary  in their midst to station himself by Jehovah. 
18O 002:002 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence camest thou?'  And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to  and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.' 
18O 002:003 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy  heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the  land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside  from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and  thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!' 
18O 002:004 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `A skin for a  skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life. 
18O 002:005 Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his  bone and unto his flesh -- if not: unto Thy face he doth bless  Thee!' 
18O 002:006 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, he [is] in thy  hand; only his life take care of.' 
18O 002:007 And the Adversary goeth forth from the presence of Jehovah,  and smiteth Job with a sore ulcer from the sole of his foot  unto his crown. 
18O 002:008 And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it,  and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes. 
18O 002:009 And his wife saith to him, `Still thou art keeping hold on  thine integrity: bless God and die.' 
18O 002:010 And he saith unto her, `As one of the foolish women  speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and  the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned  with his lips. 
18O 002:011 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that  hath come upon him, and they come in each from his place --  Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the  Naamathite -- and they are met together to come in to bemoan  him, and to comfort him; 
18O 002:012 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not  discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and rend  each his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads -- heavenward. 
18O 002:013 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven  nights, and there is none speaking unto him a word when they  have seen that the pain hath been very great. 
18O 003:001 After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day. 
18O 003:002 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 003:003 Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that  hath said: `A man-child hath been conceived.' 
18O 003:004 That day -- let it be darkness, Let not God require it from  above, Nor let light shine upon it. 
18O 003:005 Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud  tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of  days. 
18O 003:006 That night -- let thick darkness take it, Let it not be  united to days of the year, Into the number of months let it  not come. 
18O 003:007 Lo! that night -- let it be gloomy, Let no singing come into  it. 
18O 003:008 Let the cursers of day mark it, Who are ready to wake up  Leviathan. 
18O 003:009 Let the stars of its twilight be dark, Let it wait for  light, and there is none, And let it not look on the eyelids of  the dawn. 
18O 003:010 Because it hath not shut the doors Of the womb that was  mine! And hide misery from mine eyes. 
18O 003:011 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come  forth and gasp! 
18O 003:012 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what [are] breasts,  that I suck? 
18O 003:013 For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept --  then there is rest to me, 
18O 003:014 With kings and counsellors of earth, These building wastes  for themselves. 
18O 003:015 Or with princes -- they have gold, They are filling their  houses [with] silver. 
18O 003:016 (Or as a hidden abortion I am not, As infants -- they have  not seen light.) 
18O 003:017 There the wicked have ceased troubling, And there rest do  the wearied in power. 
18O 003:018 Together prisoners have been at ease, They have not heard  the voice of an exactor, 
18O 003:019 Small and great [are] there the same. And a servant [is]  free from his lord. 
18O 003:020 Why giveth He to the miserable light, and life to the  bitter soul? 
18O 003:021 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it  above hid treasures. 
18O 003:022 Who are glad -- unto joy, They rejoice when they find a  grave. 
18O 003:023 To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut  up? 
18O 003:024 For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as  waters [are] my roarings. 
18O 003:025 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was  afraid of doth come to me. 
18O 003:026 I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest --  and trouble cometh! 
18O 004:001 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 004:002 Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to  keep in words who is able? 
18O 004:003 Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest  strong. 
18O 004:004 The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees  thou dost strengthen. 
18O 004:005 But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It  striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled. 
18O 004:006 Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the  perfection of thy ways? 
18O 004:007 Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished?  And where have the upright been cut off? 
18O 004:008 As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of  misery, reap it! 
18O 004:009 From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of  His anger consumed. 
18O 004:010 The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And  teeth of young lions have been broken. 
18O 004:011 An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of  the lioness do separate. 
18O 004:012 And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth  mine ear a little of it. 
18O 004:013 In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of  deep sleep on men, 
18O 004:014 Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my  bones caused to fear. 
18O 004:015 And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the  hair of my flesh; 
18O 004:016 It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude  [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear: 
18O 004:017 `Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a  man cleaner? 
18O 004:018 Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His  messengers setteth praise.' 
18O 004:019 Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose  foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.) 
18O 004:020 From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any  regarding, for ever they perish. 
18O 004:021 Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die,  and not in wisdom! 
18O 005:001 Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of  the holy ones dost thou turn? 
18O 005:002 For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to  death the simple, 
18O 005:003 I -- I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his  habitation straightway, 
18O 005:004 Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the  gate, And there is no deliverer. 
18O 005:005 Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns  taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth. 
18O 005:006 For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the  ground springeth up misery. 
18O 005:007 For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly. 
18O 005:008 Yet I -- I inquire for God, And for God I give my word, 
18O 005:009 Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful,  till there is no numbering. 
18O 005:010 Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending  waters on the out-places. 
18O 005:011 To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been  high [in] safety. 
18O 005:012 Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not  execute wisdom. 
18O 005:013 Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of  wrestling ones was hastened, 
18O 005:014 By day they meet darkness, And as night -- they grope at  noon. 
18O 005:015 And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a  strong hand the needy, 
18O 005:016 And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut  her mouth. 
18O 005:017 Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And  the chastisement of the Mighty despise not, 
18O 005:018 For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His  hands heal. 
18O 005:019 In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil  striketh not on thee. 
18O 005:020 In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle  from the hands of the sword. 
18O 005:021 When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not  afraid of destruction, When it cometh. 
18O 005:022 At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast  of the earth, Thou art not afraid. 
18O 005:023 (For with sons of the field [is] thy covenant, And the  beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.) 
18O 005:024 And thou hast known that thy tent [is] peace, And inspected  thy habitation, and errest not, 
18O 005:025 And hast known that numerous [is] Thy seed, And thine  offspring as the herb of the earth; 
18O 005:026 Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of  a stalk in its season. 
18O 005:027 Lo, this -- we searched it out -- it [is] right, hearken;  And thou, know for thyself! 
18O 006:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 006:002 O that my provocation were thoroughly weighed, And my  calamity in balances They would lift up together! 
18O 006:003 For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore  my words have been rash. 
18O 006:004 For arrows of the Mighty [are] with me, Whose poison is  drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves [for]  me! 
18O 006:005 Brayeth a wild ass over tender grass? Loweth an ox over his  provender? 
18O 006:006 Eaten is an insipid thing without salt? Is there sense in  the drivel of dreams? 
18O 006:007 My soul is refusing to touch! They [are] as my sickening  food. 
18O 006:008 O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope! 
18O 006:009 That God would please -- and bruise me, Loose His hand and  cut me off! 
18O 006:010 And yet it is my comfort, (And I exult in pain -- He doth  not spare,) That I have not hidden The sayings of the Holy One. 
18O 006:011 What [is] my power that I should hope? And what mine end  That I should prolong my life? 
18O 006:012 Is my strength the strength of stones? Is my flesh brazen? 
18O 006:013 Is not my help with me, And substance driven from me? 
18O 006:014 To a despiser of his friends [is] shame, And the fear of  the Mighty he forsaketh. 
18O 006:015 My brethren have deceived as a brook, As a stream of brooks  they pass away. 
18O 006:016 That are black because of ice, By them doth snow hide  itself. 
18O 006:017 By the time they are warm they have been cut off, By its  being hot they have been Extinguished from their place. 
18O 006:018 Turn aside do the paths of their way, They ascend into  emptiness, and are lost. 
18O 006:019 Passengers of Tema looked expectingly, Travellers of Sheba  hoped for them. 
18O 006:020 They were ashamed that one hath trusted, They have come  unto it and are confounded. 
18O 006:021 Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and  are afraid. 
18O 006:022 Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe  for me? 
18O 006:023 And, Deliver me from the hand of an adversary? And, From  the hand of terrible ones ransom me? 
18O 006:024 Shew me, and I -- I keep silent, And what I have erred, let  me understand. 
18O 006:025 How powerful have been upright sayings, And what doth  reproof from you reprove? 
18O 006:026 For reproof -- do you reckon words? And for wind -- sayings  of the desperate. 
18O 006:027 Anger on the fatherless ye cause to fall, And are strange  to your friend. 
18O 006:028 And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie? 
18O 006:029 Turn back, I pray you, let it not be perverseness, Yea,  turn back again -- my righteousness [is] in it. 
18O 006:030 Is there in my tongue perverseness? Discerneth not my  palate desirable things? 
18O 007:001 Is there not a warfare to man on earth? And as the days of  an hireling his days? 
18O 007:002 As a servant desireth the shadow, And as a hireling  expecteth his wage, 
18O 007:003 So I have been caused to inherit months of vanity, And  nights of misery they numbered to me. 
18O 007:004 If I lay down then I said, `When do I rise!' And evening  hath been measured, And I have been full of tossings till dawn. 
18O 007:005 Clothed hath been my flesh [with] worms, And a clod of dust,  My skin hath been shrivelled and is loathsome, 
18O 007:006 My days swifter than a weaving machine, And they are  consumed without hope. 
18O 007:007 Remember Thou that my life [is] a breath, Mine eye turneth  not back to see good. 
18O 007:008 The eye of my beholder beholdeth me not. Thine eyes [are]  upon me -- and I am not. 
18O 007:009 Consumed hath been a cloud, and it goeth, So he who is going  down to Sheol cometh not up. 
18O 007:010 He turneth not again to his house, Nor doth his place  discern him again. 
18O 007:011 Also I -- I withhold not my mouth -- I speak in the  distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul. 
18O 007:012 A sea-[monster] am I, or a dragon, That thou settest over  me a guard? 
18O 007:013 When I said, `My bed doth comfort me,' He taketh away in my  talking my couch. 
18O 007:014 And thou hast affrighted me with dreams, And from visions  thou terrifiest me, 
18O 007:015 And my soul chooseth strangling, Death rather than my  bones. 
18O 007:016 I have wasted away -- not to the age do I live. Cease from  me, for my days [are] vanity. 
18O 007:017 What [is] man that Thou dost magnify him? And that Thou  settest unto him Thy heart? 
18O 007:018 And inspectest him in the mornings, In the evenings dost  try him? 
18O 007:019 How long dost Thou not look from me? Thou dost not desist  till I swallow my spittle. 
18O 007:020 I have sinned, what do I to Thee, O watcher of man? Why  hast Thou set me for a mark to Thee, And I am for a burden to  myself -- and what? 
18O 007:021 Thou dost not take away my transgression, And cause to pass  away mine iniquity, Because now, for dust I lie down: And Thou  hast sought me -- and I am not! 
18O 008:001 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 008:002 Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind --  sayings of thy mouth? 
18O 008:003 Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert  justice? 
18O 008:004 If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them  away, By the hand of their transgression, 
18O 008:005 If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest  supplication, 
18O 008:006 If pure and upright thou [art], Surely now He waketh for  thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness. 
18O 008:007 And thy beginning hath been small, And thy latter end is  very great. 
18O 008:008 For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to  a search of their fathers, 
18O 008:009 (For of yesterday we [are], and we know not, For a shadow  [are] our days on earth.) 
18O 008:010 Do they not shew thee -- speak to thee, And from their  heart bring forth words? 
18O 008:011 `Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without  water? 
18O 008:012 While it [is] in its budding -- uncropt, Even before any  herb it withereth. 
18O 008:013 So [are] the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of  the profane doth perish, 
18O 008:014 Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider  his trust. 
18O 008:015 He leaneth on his house -- and it standeth not: He taketh  hold on it -- and it abideth not. 
18O 008:016 Green he [is] before the sun, And over his garden his  branch goeth out. 
18O 008:017 By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he  looketh for. 
18O 008:018 If [one] doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath  feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee! 
18O 008:019 Lo, this [is] the joy of his way, And from the dust others  spring up.' 
18O 008:020 Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the  hand of evil doers. 
18O 008:021 While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with  shouting, 
18O 008:022 Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the  wicked is not! 
18O 009:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 009:002 Truly I have known that [it is] so, And what -- is man  righteous with God? 
18O 009:003 If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him  one of a thousand. 
18O 009:004 Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened  toward Him and is at peace? 
18O 009:005 Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath  overturned them in His anger. 
18O 009:006 Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move  themselves. 
18O 009:007 Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars  He sealeth up. 
18O 009:008 Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the  heights of the sea, 
18O 009:009 Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the  south. 
18O 009:010 Doing great things till there is no searching, And  wonderful, till there is no numbering. 
18O 009:011 Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on,  and I attend not to it. 
18O 009:012 Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto  Him, `What dost Thou?' 
18O 009:013 God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have  proud helpers. 
18O 009:014 How much less do I -- I answer Him? Choose out my words  with Him? 
18O 009:015 Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my  judgment I make supplication. 
18O 009:016 Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe  that He giveth ear [to] my voice. 
18O 009:017 Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied  my wounds for nought. 
18O 009:018 He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me  with bitter things. 
18O 009:019 If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who  doth convene me? 
18O 009:020 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked,  Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse. 
18O 009:021 Perfect I am! -- I know not my soul, I despise my life. 
18O 009:022 It is the same thing, therefore I said, `The perfect and  the wicked He is consuming.' 
18O 009:023 If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of  the innocent He laugheth. 
18O 009:024 Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The  face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who [is] he? 
18O 009:025 My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled,  they have not seen good, 
18O 009:026 They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth  on food. 
18O 009:027 Though I say, `I forget my talking, I forsake my corner,  and I brighten up!' 
18O 009:028 I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou  dost not acquit me. 
18O 009:029 I -- I am become wicked; why [is] this? [In] vain I labour. 
18O 009:030 If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with  soap my hands, 
18O 009:031 Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have  abominated me. 
18O 009:032 But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together  into judgment. 
18O 009:033 If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand  on us both. 
18O 009:034 He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth  not make me afraid, 
18O 009:035 I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with  myself. 
18O 010:001 My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking  to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul. 
18O 010:002 I say unto God, `Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou  dost strive [with] me. 
18O 010:003 Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou  despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the  wicked hast shone? 
18O 010:004 Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth -- seest Thou? 
18O 010:005 As the days of man [are] Thy days? Thy years as the days of  a man? 
18O 010:006 That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin  seekest? 
18O 010:007 For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no  deliverer from Thy hand. 
18O 010:008 Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me  together round about, And Thou swallowest me up! 
18O 010:009 Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And  unto dust Thou dost bring me back. 
18O 010:010 Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle  me? 
18O 010:011 Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and  sinews dost fence me. 
18O 010:012 Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy  inspection hath preserved my spirit. 
18O 010:013 And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known  that this [is] with Thee. 
18O 010:014 If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine  iniquity dost not acquit me, 
18O 010:015 If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I  lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction, 
18O 010:016 And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou  turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me. 
18O 010:017 Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply  Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me. 
18O 010:018 And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I  expire, and the eye doth not see me. 
18O 010:019 As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am  brought, 
18O 010:020 Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I  brighten up a little, 
18O 010:021 Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and  death-shade, 
18O 010:022 A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and  no order, And the shining [is] as thick darkness.' 
18O 011:001 And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 011:002 Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips  justified? 
18O 011:003 Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none  is causing blushing! 
18O 011:004 And thou sayest, `Pure [is] my discourse, And clean I have  been in Thine eyes.' 
18O 011:005 And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with  thee. 
18O 011:006 And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath  foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, [Some] of  thine iniquity. 
18O 011:007 By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find  out the Mighty One? 
18O 011:008 Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than  Sheol! -- what knowest thou? 
18O 011:009 Longer than earth [is] its measure, And broader than the  sea. 
18O 011:010 If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost  reverse it? 
18O 011:011 For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity,  And one doth not consider [it]! 
18O 011:012 And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is  born. 
18O 011:013 If thou -- thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread  out unto Him thy hands, 
18O 011:014 If iniquity [is] in thy hand, put it far off, And let not  perverseness dwell in thy tents. 
18O 011:015 For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou  hast been firm, and fearest not. 
18O 011:016 For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou  rememberest. 
18O 011:017 And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the  morning thou art. 
18O 011:018 And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched  -- in confidence thou liest down, 
18O 011:019 And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And  many have entreated thy face; 
18O 011:020 And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath  perished from them, And their hope [is] a breathing out of soul! 
18O 012:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 012:002 Truly -- ye [are] the people, And with you doth wisdom die. 
18O 012:003 I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than  you, And with whom is there not like these? 
18O 012:004 A laughter to his friend I am: `He calleth to God, and He  answereth him,' A laughter [is] the perfect righteous one. 
18O 012:005 A torch -- despised in the thoughts of the secure Is  prepared for those sliding with the feet. 
18O 012:006 At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God  have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought. 
18O 012:007 And yet, ask, I pray thee, [One of] the beasts, and it doth  shew thee, And a fowl of the heavens, And it doth declare to  thee. 
18O 012:008 Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of  the sea recount to thee: 
18O 012:009 `Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah  hath done this? 
18O 012:010 In whose hand [is] the breath of every living thing, And  the spirit of all flesh of man.' 
18O 012:011 Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for  itself? 
18O 012:012 With the very aged [is] wisdom, And [with] length of days  understanding. 
18O 012:013 With Him [are] wisdom and might, To him [are] counsel and  understanding. 
18O 012:014 Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth  against a man, And it is not opened. 
18O 012:015 Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And  he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land. 
18O 012:016 With Him [are] strength and wisdom, His the deceived and  deceiver. 
18O 012:017 Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He  maketh foolish. 
18O 012:018 The bands of kings He hath opened, And He bindeth a girdle  on their loins. 
18O 012:019 Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He  overthroweth. 
18O 012:020 Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of  the aged He taketh away. 
18O 012:021 Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the  mighty He made feeble. 
18O 012:022 Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out  to light death-shade. 
18O 012:023 Magnifying the nations, and He destroyeth them, Spreading  out the nations, and He quieteth them. 
18O 012:024 Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the  land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy -- no way! 
18O 012:025 They feel darkness, and not light, He causeth them to  wander as a drunkard. 
18O 013:001 Lo, all -- hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it  attendeth to it. 
18O 013:002 According to your knowledge I have known -- also I. I am  not fallen more than you. 
18O 013:003 Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I  delight. 
18O 013:004 And yet, ye [are] forgers of falsehood, Physicians of  nought -- all of you, 
18O 013:005 O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to  you for wisdom. 
18O 013:006 Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my  lips attend, 
18O 013:007 For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak  deceit? 
18O 013:008 His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive? 
18O 013:009 Is [it] good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at  a man, ye mock at Him? 
18O 013:010 He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces. 
18O 013:011 Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall  upon you? 
18O 013:012 Your remembrances [are] similes of ashes, For high places  of clay your heights. 
18O 013:013 Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth  what? 
18O 013:014 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put  in my hand? 
18O 013:015 Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His  face I argue. 
18O 013:016 Also -- He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane  cometh not before Him. 
18O 013:017 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your  ears. 
18O 013:018 Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have  known that I am righteous. 
18O 013:019 Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep  silent and gasp. 
18O 013:020 Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I  am not hidden. 
18O 013:021 Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not  terrify me. 
18O 013:022 And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and  answer Thou me. 
18O 013:023 How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and  my sin let me know. 
18O 013:024 Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy  to Thee? 
18O 013:025 A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble  dost Thou pursue? 
18O 013:026 For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me  to possess iniquities of my youth: 
18O 013:027 And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my  paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print, 
18O 013:028 And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath  a moth consumed him. 
18O 014:001 Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble! 
18O 014:002 As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he  fleeth as a shadow and standeth not. 
18O 014:003 Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring  me into judgment with Thee. 
18O 014:004 Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 
18O 014:005 If determined are his days, The number of his months [are]  with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over; 
18O 014:006 Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as  an hireling his day. 
18O 014:007 For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again  it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease. 
18O 014:008 If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth  die in the dust, 
18O 014:009 From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made  a crop as a plant. 
18O 014:010 And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and  where [is] he? 
18O 014:011 Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh  waste and dry. 
18O 014:012 And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing  out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their  sleep. 
18O 014:013 O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the  turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me. 
18O 014:014 If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I  wait, till my change come. 
18O 014:015 Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy  hands Thou hast desire. 
18O 014:016 But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over  my sin. 
18O 014:017 Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest  up mine iniquity. 
18O 014:018 And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is  removed from its place. 
18O 014:019 Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away  the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed. 
18O 014:020 Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is  changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away. 
18O 014:021 Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are  little, and he attendeth not to them. 
18O 014:022 Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him  doth mourn.' 
18O 015:001 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 015:002 Doth a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill  [with] an east wind his belly? 
18O 015:003 To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit  in them? 
18O 015:004 Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish  meditation before God. 
18O 015:005 For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth  the tongue of the subtile. 
18O 015:006 Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips  testify against thee. 
18O 015:007 The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast  thou formed? 
18O 015:008 Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And  withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom? 
18O 015:009 What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou  -- and it is not with us? 
18O 015:010 Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us --  Greater than thy father [in] days. 
18O 015:011 Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle  word [is] with thee, 
18O 015:012 What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are  thine eyes high? 
18O 015:013 For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought  out words from thy mouth: 
18O 015:014 What [is] man that he is pure, And that he is righteous,  one born of woman? 
18O 015:015 Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the  heavens have not been pure in His eyes. 
18O 015:016 Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as  water perverseness. 
18O 015:017 I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and  declare: 
18O 015:018 Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their  fathers. 
18O 015:019 To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed  not over into their midst: 
18O 015:020 `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few  years have been laid up for the terrible one. 
18O 015:021 A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace doth a  destroyer come to him. 
18O 015:022 He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched [is]  he for the sword. 
18O 015:023 He is wandering for bread -- `Where [is] it?' He hath  known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness. 
18O 015:024 Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over  him As a king ready for a boaster. 
18O 015:025 For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the  Mighty he maketh himself mighty. 
18O 015:026 He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his  shields. 
18O 015:027 For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh  vigour over [his] confidence. 
18O 015:028 And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in,  That have been ready to become heaps. 
18O 015:029 He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he  stretch out on earth their continuance. 
18O 015:030 He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth  a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His  mouth! 
18O 015:031 Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived,  For vanity is his recompence. 
18O 015:032 Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is  not green. 
18O 015:033 He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off  as an olive his blossom. 
18O 015:034 For the company of the profane [is] gloomy, And fire hath  consumed tents of bribery. 
18O 015:035 To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart  doth prepare deceit. 
18O 016:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 016:002 I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters [are]  ye all. 
18O 016:003 Is there an end to words of wind? Or what doth embolden  thee that thou answerest? 
18O 016:004 I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my  soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at  you with my head. 
18O 016:005 I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips  might be sparing. 
18O 016:006 If I speak, my pain is not restrained, And I cease -- what  goeth from me? 
18O 016:007 Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my  company, 
18O 016:008 And Thou dost loathe me, For a witness it hath been, And  rise up against me doth my failure, In my face it testifieth. 
18O 016:009 His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at  me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me. 
18O 016:010 They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they  have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set  themselves. 
18O 016:011 God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of  the wicked turneth me over. 
18O 016:012 At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid  hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth  me to him for a mark. 
18O 016:013 Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins,  and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall. 
18O 016:014 He breaketh me -- breach upon breach, He runneth upon me  as a mighty one. 
18O 016:015 Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the  dust my horn. 
18O 016:016 My face is foul with weeping, And on mine eyelids [is]  death-shade. 
18O 016:017 Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer [is] pure. 
18O 016:018 O earth, do not thou cover my blood! And let there not be  a place for my cry. 
18O 016:019 Also, now, lo, in the heavens [is] my witness, And my  testifier in the high places. 
18O 016:020 My interpreter [is] my friend, Unto God hath mine eye  dropped: 
18O 016:021 And he reasoneth for a man with God, And a son of man for  his friend. 
18O 016:022 When a few years do come, Then a path I return not do I  go. 
18O 017:001 My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished --  graves [are] for me. 
18O 017:002 If not -- mockeries [are] with me. And in their  provocations mine eye lodgeth. 
18O 017:003 Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that  striketh hand with me? 
18O 017:004 For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding,  Therefore Thou dost not exalt them. 
18O 017:005 For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his  sons are consumed. 
18O 017:006 And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder  before them I am. 
18O 017:007 And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow  all of them. 
18O 017:008 Astonished are the upright at this, And the innocent  against the profane Stirreth himself up. 
18O 017:009 And the righteous layeth hold [on] his way, And the clean  of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all. 
18O 017:010 Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you  a wise man. 
18O 017:011 My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off,  The possessions of my heart! 
18O 017:012 Night for day they appoint, Light [is] near because of  darkness. 
18O 017:013 If I wait -- Sheol [is] my house, In darkness I have  spread out my couch. 
18O 017:014 To corruption I have called: -- `Thou [art] my father.'  `My mother' and `my sister' -- to the worm. 
18O 017:015 And where [is] now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold  it? 
18O 017:016 [To] the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the  dust we may rest. 
18O 018:001 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 018:002 When do ye set an end to words? Consider ye, and afterwards  do we speak. 
18O 018:003 Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been  defiled in your eyes! 
18O 018:004 (He is tearing himself in his anger.) For thy sake is earth  forsaken? And removed is a rock from its place? 
18O 018:005 Also, the light of the wicked is extinguished. And there  doth not shine a spark of his fire. 
18O 018:006 The light hath been dark in his tent, And his lamp over him  is extinguished. 
18O 018:007 Straitened are the steps of his strength, And cast him down  doth his own counsel. 
18O 018:008 For he is sent into a net by his own feet, And on a snare  he doth walk habitually. 
18O 018:009 Seize on the heel doth a gin, Prevail over him do the  designing. 
18O 018:010 Hidden in the earth is his cord, And his trap on the path. 
18O 018:011 Round about terrified him have terrors, And they have  scattered him -- at his feet. 
18O 018:012 Hungry is his sorrow, And calamity is ready at his side. 
18O 018:013 It consumeth the parts of his skin, Consume his parts doth  death's first-born. 
18O 018:014 Drawn from his tent is his confidence, And it causeth him  to step to the king of terrors. 
18O 018:015 It dwelleth in his tent -- out of his provender, Scattered  over his habitation is sulphur. 
18O 018:016 From beneath his roots are dried up, And from above cut  off is his crop. 
18O 018:017 His memorial hath perished from the land, And he hath no  name on the street. 
18O 018:018 They thrust him from light unto darkness, And from the  habitable earth cast him out. 
18O 018:019 He hath no continuator, Nor successor among his people,  And none is remaining in his dwellings. 
18O 018:020 At this day westerns have been astonished And easterns  have taken fright. 
18O 018:021 Only these [are] tabernacles of the perverse, And this the  place God hath not known. 
18O 019:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 019:002 Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words? 
18O 019:003 These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make  yourselves strange to me -- 
18O 019:004 And also -- truly, I have erred, With me doth my error  remain. 
18O 019:005 If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide  against me my reproach; 
18O 019:006 Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net  against me hath set round, 
18O 019:007 Lo, I cry out -- violence, and am not answered, I cry  aloud, and there is no judgment. 
18O 019:008 My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths  darkness He placeth. 
18O 019:009 Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth  the crown from my head. 
18O 019:010 He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth  like a tree my hope. 
18O 019:011 And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to  Him as His adversaries. 
18O 019:012 Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against  me their way, And encamp round about my tent. 
18O 019:013 My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine  acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me. 
18O 019:014 Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have  forgotten me, 
18O 019:015 Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon  me: An alien I have been in their eyes. 
18O 019:016 To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With  my mouth I make supplication to him. 
18O 019:017 My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the  sons of my [mother's] womb. 
18O 019:018 Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak  against me. 
18O 019:019 Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I  have loved, Have been turned against me. 
18O 019:020 To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I  deliver myself with the skin of my teeth. 
18O 019:021 Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath  stricken against me. 
18O 019:022 Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not  satisfied? 
18O 019:023 Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth  grant that in a book they may be graven? 
18O 019:024 With a pen of iron and lead -- For ever in a rock they may  be hewn. 
18O 019:025 That -- I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last,  For the dust he doth rise. 
18O 019:026 And after my skin hath compassed this [body], Then from my  flesh I see God: 
18O 019:027 Whom I -- I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and  not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom. 
18O 019:028 But ye say, `Why do we pursue after him?' And the root of  the matter hath been found in me. 
18O 019:029 Be ye afraid because of the sword, For furious [are] the  punishments of the sword, That ye may know that [there is] a  judgment. 
18O 020:001 And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 020:002 Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my  sensations in me. 
18O 020:003 The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine  understanding Doth cause me to answer: 
18O 020:004 This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of  man on earth? 
18O 020:005 That the singing of the wicked [is] short, And the joy of  the profane for a moment, 
18O 020:006 Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head  against a cloud he strike -- 
18O 020:007 As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say:  `Where [is] he?' 
18O 020:008 As a dream he fleeth, and they find him not, And he is  driven away as a vision of the night, 
18O 020:009 The eye hath not seen him, and addeth not. And not again  doth his place behold him. 
18O 020:010 His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his  wealth. 
18O 020:011 His bones have been full of his youth, And with him on the  dust it lieth down. 
18O 020:012 Though he doth sweeten evil in his mouth, Doth hide it  under his tongue, 
18O 020:013 Hath pity on it, and doth not forsake it, And keep it back  in the midst of his palate, 
18O 020:014 His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps  [is] in his heart. 
18O 020:015 Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his  belly God driveth it out. 
18O 020:016 Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a  viper. 
18O 020:017 He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and  butter. 
18O 020:018 He is giving back [what] he laboured for, And doth not  consume [it]; As a bulwark [is] his exchange, and he exults  not. 
18O 020:019 For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath  taken violently away, And he doth not build it. 
18O 020:020 For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his  desirable thing he delivereth not himself. 
18O 020:021 There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good  doth not stay. 
18O 020:022 In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every  perverse hand doth meet him. 
18O 020:023 It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth  forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth  on him in his eating. 
18O 020:024 He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow  of brass. 
18O 020:025 One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a  glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him [are]  terrors. 
18O 020:026 All darkness is hid for his treasures, Consume him doth a  fire not blown, Broken is the remnant in his tent. 
18O 020:027 Reveal do the heavens his iniquity, And earth is raising  itself against him. 
18O 020:028 Remove doth the increase of his house, Poured forth in a  day of His anger. 
18O 020:029 This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God. And an  inheritance appointed him by God. 
18O 021:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 021:002 Hear ye diligently my word, And this is your consolation. 
18O 021:003 Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking -- ye may  deride. 
18O 021:004 I -- to man [is] my complaint? and if [so], wherefore May  not my temper become short? 
18O 021:005 Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth. 
18O 021:006 Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And  my flesh hath taken fright. 
18O 021:007 Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea,  they have been mighty in wealth. 
18O 021:008 Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And  their offspring before their eyes. 
18O 021:009 Their houses [are] peace without fear, Nor [is] a rod of  God upon them. 
18O 021:010 His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow  bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry. 
18O 021:011 They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their  children skip, 
18O 021:012 They lift [themselves] up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice  at the sound of an organ. 
18O 021:013 They wear out in good their days, And in a moment [to]  Sheol go down. 
18O 021:014 And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the  knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired. 
18O 021:015 What [is] the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we  profit when we meet with Him?' 
18O 021:016 Lo, not in their hand [is] their good, (The counsel of the  wicked Hath been far from me.) 
18O 021:017 How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come  on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His  anger. 
18O 021:018 They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane  hath stolen away, 
18O 021:019 God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth  recompense unto him -- and he knoweth. 
18O 021:020 His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the  Mighty he drinketh. 
18O 021:021 For what [is] his delight in his house after him, And the  number of his months cut off? 
18O 021:022 To God doth [one] teach knowledge, And He the high doth  judge? 
18O 021:023 This [one] dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease  and quiet. 
18O 021:024 His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones  doth moisten. 
18O 021:025 And this [one] dieth with a bitter soul, And have not  eaten with gladness. 
18O 021:026 Together -- on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth  cover them over. 
18O 021:027 Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me  ye do wrongfully. 
18O 021:028 For ye say, `Where [is] the house of the noble? And where  the tent -- The tabernacles of the wicked?' 
18O 021:029 Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their  signs do ye not know? 
18O 021:030 That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day  of wrath they are brought. 
18O 021:031 Who doth declare to his face his way? And [for] that which  he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him? 
18O 021:032 And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a  watch is kept. 
18O 021:033 Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after  him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering. 
18O 021:034 And how do ye comfort me [with] vanity, And in your  answers hath been left trespass? 
18O 022:001 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 022:002 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself  is profitable? 
18O 022:003 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous?  is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways? 
18O 022:004 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason [with] thee? He  entereth with thee into judgment: 
18O 022:005 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to  thine iniquities. 
18O 022:006 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the  garments of the naked Thou dost strip off. 
18O 022:007 Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the  hungry thou withholdest bread. 
18O 022:008 As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted  of face -- he dwelleth in it. 
18O 022:009 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the  fatherless are bruised. 
18O 022:010 Therefore round about thee [are] snares, And trouble thee  doth fear suddenly. 
18O 022:011 Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters  doth cover thee. 
18O 022:012 Is not God high [in] heaven? And see the summit of the  stars, That they are high. 
18O 022:013 And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through  thickness doth He judge? 
18O 022:014 Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not  see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually, 
18O 022:015 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of  iniquity have trodden? 
18O 022:016 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out  on their foundation. 
18O 022:017 Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth  the Mighty One to them? 
18O 022:018 And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the  counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.) 
18O 022:019 See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent  mocketh at them, 
18O 022:020 `Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their  excellency hath fire consumed.' 
18O 022:021 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace,  Thereby thine increase [is] good. 
18O 022:022 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His  sayings in thy heart. 
18O 022:023 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up,  Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents. 
18O 022:024 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the  valleys a covering. 
18O 022:025 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver [is]  strength to thee. 
18O 022:026 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost  lift up unto God thy face, 
18O 022:027 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear  thee, And thy vows thou completest. 
18O 022:028 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee,  And on thy ways hath light shone. 
18O 022:029 For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.' And  the bowed down of eyes he saveth. 
18O 022:030 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been  delivered By the cleanness of thy hands. 
18O 023:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 023:002 Also -- to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been  heavy because of my sighing. 
18O 023:003 O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His  seat, 
18O 023:004 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with]  arguments. 
18O 023:005 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He  saith to me. 
18O 023:006 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No!  surely He putteth [it] in me. 
18O 023:007 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for  ever from my judge. 
18O 023:008 Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I  perceive him not. 
18O 023:009 [To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is  covered [on] the right, and I behold not. 
18O 023:010 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as  gold I go forth. 
18O 023:011 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept,  and turn not aside, 
18O 023:012 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my  allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth. 
18O 023:013 And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And  His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it]. 
18O 023:014 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things  [are] with Him. 
18O 023:015 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider,  and am afraid of Him. 
18O 023:016 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath  troubled me. 
18O 023:017 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me  He covered thick darkness. 
18O 024:001 Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden,  And those knowing Him have not seen His days. 
18O 024:002 The borders they reach, A drove they have taken violently  away, Yea, they do evil. 
18O 024:003 The ass of the fatherless they lead away, They take in  pledge the ox of the widow, 
18O 024:004 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid  the poor of the earth. 
18O 024:005 Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about  their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself --  food for young ones. 
18O 024:006 In a field his provender they reap, And the vineyard of the  wicked they glean. 
18O 024:007 The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing. And there  is no covering in the cold. 
18O 024:008 From the inundation of hills they are wet, And without a  refuge -- have embraced a rock. 
18O 024:009 They take violently away From the breast the orphan, And on  the poor they lay a pledge. 
18O 024:010 Naked, they have gone without clothing, And hungry -- have  taken away a sheaf. 
18O 024:011 Between their walls they make oil, Wine-presses they have  trodden, and thirst. 
18O 024:012 Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced  ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise. 
18O 024:013 They have been among rebellious ones of light, They have  not discerned His ways, Nor abode in His paths. 
18O 024:014 At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor  and needy, And in the night he is as a thief. 
18O 024:015 And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight,  Saying, `No eye doth behold me.' And he putteth the face in  secret. 
18O 024:016 He hath dug in the darkness -- houses; By day they shut  themselves up, They have not known light. 
18O 024:017 When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he  discerneth the terrors of death shade. 
18O 024:018 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their  portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards. 
18O 024:019 Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol [those  who] have sinned. 
18O 024:020 Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm,  No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness. 
18O 024:021 Treating evil the barren [who] beareth not, And [to] the  widow he doth no good, 
18O 024:022 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and  none believeth in life. 
18O 024:023 He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his  eyes [are] on their ways. 
18O 024:024 High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they  have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as  the head of an ear of corn cut off. 
18O 024:025 And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of  nothing my word? 
18O 025:001 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: -- 
18O 025:002 The rule and fear [are] with Him, Making peace in His high  places. 
18O 025:003 Is their [any] number to His troops? And on whom ariseth  not His light? 
18O 025:004 And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure  -- born of a woman? 
18O 025:005 Lo -- unto the moon, and it shineth not, And stars have not  been pure in His eyes. 
18O 025:006 How much less man -- a grub, And the son of man -- a worm! 
18O 026:001 And Job answereth and saith: -- 
18O 026:002 What -- thou hast helped the powerless, Saved an arm not  strong! 
18O 026:003 What -- thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise  plans in abundance made known. 
18O 026:004 With whom hast thou declared words? And whose breath came  forth from thee? 
18O 026:005 The Rephaim are formed, Beneath the waters, also their  inhabitants. 
18O 026:006 Naked [is] Sheol over-against Him, And there is no covering  to destruction. 
18O 026:007 Stretching out the north over desolation, Hanging the earth  upon nothing, 
18O 026:008 Binding up the waters in His thick clouds, And the cloud is  not rent under them. 
18O 026:009 Taking hold of the face of the throne, Spreading over it  His cloud. 
18O 026:010 A limit He hath placed on the waters, Unto the boundary of  light with darkness. 
18O 026:011 Pillars of the heavens do tremble, And they wonder because  of His rebuke. 
18O 026:012 By His power He hath quieted the sea, And by His  understanding smitten the proud. 
18O 026:013 By His Spirit the heavens He beautified, Formed hath His  hand the fleeing serpent. 
18O 026:014 Lo, these [are] the borders of His way, And how little a  matter is heard of Him, And the thunder of His might Who doth  understand? 
18O 027:001 And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: -- 
18O 027:002 God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty --  He made my soul bitter. 
18O 027:003 For all the while my breath [is] in me, And the spirit of  God in my nostrils. 
18O 027:004 My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not  utter deceit. 
18O 027:005 Pollution to me -- if I justify you, Till I expire I turn  not aside mine integrity from me. 
18O 027:006 On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it  go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live. 
18O 027:007 As the wicked is my enemy, And my withstander as the  perverse. 
18O 027:008 For what [is] the hope of the profane, When He doth cut  off? When God doth cast off his soul? 
18O 027:009 His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him? 
18O 027:010 On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all  times? 
18O 027:011 I shew you by the hand of God, That which [is] with the  Mighty I hide not. 
18O 027:012 Lo, ye -- all of you -- have seen, And why [is] this -- ye  are altogether vain? 
18O 027:013 This [is] the portion of wicked man with God, And the  inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive. 
18O 027:014 If his sons multiply -- for them [is] a sword. And his  offspring [are] not satisfied [with] bread. 
18O 027:015 His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not  weep. 
18O 027:016 If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare  clothing, 
18O 027:017 He prepareth -- and the righteous putteth [it] on, And the  silver the innocent doth apportion. 
18O 027:018 He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a  watchman hath made. 
18O 027:019 Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he  hath opened, and he is not. 
18O 027:020 Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him  away hath a whirlwind. 
18O 027:021 Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it  frighteneth him from his place, 
18O 027:022 And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand  he diligently fleeth. 
18O 027:023 It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from  his place. 
18O 028:001 Surely there is for silver a source, And a place for the  gold they refine; 
18O 028:002 Iron from the dust is taken, And [from] the firm stone  brass. 
18O 028:003 An end hath he set to darkness, And to all perfection he  is searching, A stone of darkness and death-shade. 
18O 028:004 A stream hath broken out from a sojourner, Those forgotten  of the foot, They were low, from man they wandered. 
18O 028:005 The earth! from it cometh forth bread, And its under-part  is turned like fire. 
18O 028:006 A place of the sapphire [are] its stones, And it hath dust  of gold. 
18O 028:007 A path -- not known it hath a ravenous fowl, Nor scorched  it hath an eye of the kite, 
18O 028:008 Nor trodden it have the sons of pride, Not passed over it  hath the fierce lion. 
18O 028:009 Against the flint he sent forth his hand, He overturned  from the root mountains. 
18O 028:010 Among rocks, brooks he hath cleaved, And every precious  thing hath his eye seen. 
18O 028:011 From overflowing floods he hath bound, And the hidden  thing bringeth out [to] light. 
18O 028:012 And the wisdom -- whence is it found? And where [is] this,  the place of understanding? 
18O 028:013 Man hath not known its arrangement, Nor is it found in the  land of the living. 
18O 028:014 The deep hath said, `It [is] not in me,' And the sea hath  said, `It is not with me.' 
18O 028:015 Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its  price. 
18O 028:016 It is not valued with pure gold of Ophir, With precious  onyx and sapphire, 
18O 028:017 Not equal it do gold and crystal, Nor [is] its exchange a  vessel of fine gold. 
18O 028:018 Corals and pearl are not remembered, The acquisition of  wisdom [is] above rubies. 
18O 028:019 Not equal it doth the topaz of Cush, With pure gold it is  not valued. 
18O 028:020 And the wisdom -- whence doth it come? And where [is]  this, the place of understanding? 
18O 028:021 It hath been hid from the eyes of all living. And from the  fowl of the heavens It hath been hidden. 
18O 028:022 Destruction and death have said: `With our ears we have  heard its fame.' 
18O 028:023 God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place. 
18O 028:024 For He to the ends of the earth doth look, Under the whole  heavens He doth see, 
18O 028:025 To make for the wind a weight, And the waters He meted out  in measure. 
18O 028:026 In His making for the rain a limit, And a way for the  brightness of the voices, 
18O 028:027 Then He hath seen and declareth it, He hath prepared it,  and also searched it out, 
18O 028:028 And He saith to man: -- `Lo, fear of the Lord, that [is]  wisdom, And to turn from evil [is] understanding.' 
18O 029:001 And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: -- 
18O 029:002 Who doth make me as [in] months past, As [in] the days of  God's preserving me? 
18O 029:003 In His causing His lamp to shine on my head, By His light I  walk [through] darkness. 
18O 029:004 As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of  God upon my tent. 
18O 029:005 When yet the Mighty One [is] with me. Round about me -- my  young ones, 
18O 029:006 When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock [is]  with me rivulets of oil. 
18O 029:007 When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I  prepare my seat. 
18O 029:008 Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged  have risen -- they stood up. 
18O 029:009 Princes have kept in words, And a hand they place on their  mouth. 
18O 029:010 The voice of leaders hath been hidden, And their tongue to  the palate hath cleaved. 
18O 029:011 For the ear heard, and declareth me happy, And the eye  hath seen, and testifieth [to] me. 
18O 029:012 For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the  fatherless who hath no helper. 
18O 029:013 The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart  of the widow I cause to sing. 
18O 029:014 Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe  and a diadem my justice. 
18O 029:015 Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame [am]  I. 
18O 029:016 A father I [am] to the needy, And the cause I have not  known I search out. 
18O 029:017 And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his  teeth I cast away prey. 
18O 029:018 And I say, `With my nest I expire, And as the sand I  multiply days.' 
18O 029:019 My root is open unto the waters, And dew doth lodge on my  branch. 
18O 029:020 My honour [is] fresh with me, And my bow in my hand is  renewed. 
18O 029:021 To me they have hearkened, Yea, they wait, and are silent  for my counsel. 
18O 029:022 After my word they change not, And on them doth my speech  drop, 
18O 029:023 And they wait as [for] rain for me, And their mouth they  have opened wide [As] for the latter rain. 
18O 029:024 I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light  of my face cause not to fall. 
18O 029:025 I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in  a troop, When mourners he doth comfort. 
18O 030:001 And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I,  Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock. 
18O 030:002 Also -- the power of their hands, why [is it] to me? On  them hath old age perished. 
18O 030:003 With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry  place, Formerly a desolation and waste, 
18O 030:004 Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots [is]  their food. 
18O 030:005 From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them  as a thief), 
18O 030:006 In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth  and clefts. 
18O 030:007 Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered  together. 
18O 030:008 Sons of folly -- even sons without name, They have been  smitten from the land. 
18O 030:009 And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a  byword. 
18O 030:010 They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And  from before me have not spared to spit. 
18O 030:011 Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the  bridle from before me, They have cast away. 
18O 030:012 On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have  cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of  calamity. 
18O 030:013 They have broken down my path, By my calamity they profit,  `He hath no helper.' 
18O 030:014 As a wide breach they come, Under the desolation have  rolled themselves. 
18O 030:015 He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind  mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed  away. 
18O 030:016 And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do  days of affliction. 
18O 030:017 At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids  do not lie down. 
18O 030:018 By the abundance of power, Is my clothing changed, As the  mouth of my coat it doth gird me. 
18O 030:019 Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes. 
18O 030:020 I cry unto Thee, And Thou dost not answer me, I have  stood, and Thou dost consider me. 
18O 030:021 Thou art turned to be fierce to me, With the strength of  Thy hand, Thou oppresest me. 
18O 030:022 Thou dost lift me up, On the wind Thou dost cause me to  ride, And Thou meltest -- Thou levellest me. 
18O 030:023 For I have known To death Thou dost bring me back, And  [to] the house appointed for all living. 
18O 030:024 Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand,  Though in its ruin they have safety. 
18O 030:025 Did not I weep for him whose day is hard? Grieved hath my  soul for the needy. 
18O 030:026 When good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for  light, and darkness cometh. 
18O 030:027 My bowels have boiled, and have not ceased, Gone before me  have days of affliction. 
18O 030:028 Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an  assembly I cry. 
18O 030:029 A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to  daughters of the ostrich. 
18O 030:030 My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned  from heat, 
18O 030:031 And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound  of weeping. 
18O 031:001 A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to  a virgin? 
18O 031:002 And what [is] the portion of God from above? And the  inheritance of the Mighty from the heights? 
18O 031:003 Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers  of iniquity? 
18O 031:004 Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number? 
18O 031:005 If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to  deceit, 
18O 031:006 He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know  my integrity. 
18O 031:007 If my step doth turn aside from the way, And after mine  eyes hath my heart gone, And to my hands cleaved hath blemish, 
18O 031:008 Let me sow -- and another eat, And my products let be  rooted out. 
18O 031:009 If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening  of my neighbour I laid wait, 
18O 031:010 Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others  bend. 
18O 031:011 For it [is] a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity; 
18O 031:012 For a fire it [is], to destruction it consumeth, And among  all mine increase doth take root, 
18O 031:013 If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my  handmaid, In their contending with me, 
18O 031:014 Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth  inspect, What do I answer Him? 
18O 031:015 Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare  us in the womb doth One. 
18O 031:016 If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the  widow do consume, 
18O 031:017 And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not  eat of it, 
18O 031:018 (But from my youth He grew up with me as [with] a father,  And from the belly of my mother I am led.) 
18O 031:019 If I see [any] perishing without clothing, And there is no  covering to the needy, 
18O 031:020 If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of  my sheep He doth not warm himself, 
18O 031:021 If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in  [him] the gate of my court, 
18O 031:022 My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the  bone be broken. 
18O 031:023 For a dread unto me [is] calamity [from] God, And because  of His excellency I am not able. 
18O 031:024 If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold  have said, `My trust,' 
18O 031:025 If I rejoice because great [is] my wealth, And because  abundance hath my hand found, 
18O 031:026 If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon  walking, 
18O 031:027 And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss  my mouth, 
18O 031:028 It also [is] a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God  above. 
18O 031:029 If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up  myself when evil found him, 
18O 031:030 Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an  oath his life. 
18O 031:031 If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his  flesh, we are not satisfied.' 
18O 031:032 In the street doth not lodge a stranger, My doors to the  traveller I open. 
18O 031:033 If I have covered as Adam my transgressions, To hide in my  bosom mine iniquity, 
18O 031:034 Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of  families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of  the opening. 
18O 031:035 Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One  doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written. 
18O 031:036 If not -- on my shoulder I take it up, I bind it a crown  on myself. 
18O 031:037 The number of my steps I tell Him, As a leader I approach  Him. 
18O 031:038 If against me my land doth cry out, And together its  furrows weep, 
18O 031:039 If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of  its possessors, I have caused to breathe out, 
18O 031:040 Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of  barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished. 
18O 032:001 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is]  righteous in his own eyes, 
18O 032:002 and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the  Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger  burned, because of his justifying himself more than God; 
18O 032:003 and against his three friends hath his anger burned,  because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job. 
18O 032:004 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for  they are older than he in days. 
18O 032:005 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the  three men, and his anger burneth. 
18O 032:006 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith:  -- Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have  feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion. 
18O 032:007 I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom. 
18O 032:008 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One  Doth cause them to understand. 
18O 032:009 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand  judgment. 
18O 032:010 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion  -- even I. 
18O 032:011 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your  reasons, Till ye search out sayings. 
18O 032:012 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for  Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you. 
18O 032:013 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him  away, not man. 
18O 032:014 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your  sayings I do not answer him. 
18O 032:015 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They  removed from themselves words. 
18O 032:016 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have  stood still, They have not answered any more.) 
18O 032:017 I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I. 
18O 032:018 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the  spirit of my breast, 
18O 032:019 Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it  is broken up. 
18O 032:020 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips  and answer. 
18O 032:021 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto  man give flattering titles, 
18O 032:022 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a  little doth my Maker take me away. 
18O 033:001 And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my  words give ear. 
18O 033:002 Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath  spoken in the palate. 
18O 033:003 Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And  knowledge have my lips clearly spoken. 
18O 033:004 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the  Mighty doth quicken me. 
18O 033:005 If thou art able -- answer me, Set in array before me --  station thyself. 
18O 033:006 Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I  -- I also, have been formed. 
18O 033:007 Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee  is not heavy. 
18O 033:008 Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of  words I hear: 
18O 033:009 `Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I  have no iniquity. 
18O 033:010 Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me  for an enemy to Him, 
18O 033:011 He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my  paths.' 
18O 033:012 Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee,  that greater is God than man. 
18O 033:013 Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all  His matters He answereth not? 
18O 033:014 For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold  it.) 
18O 033:015 In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep  sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed. 
18O 033:016 Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their  instruction sealeth: 
18O 033:017 To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He  concealeth. 
18O 033:018 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life  from passing away by a dart. 
18O 033:019 And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the  strife of his bones [is] enduring. 
18O 033:020 And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable  food. 
18O 033:021 His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his  bones, they were not seen! 
18O 033:022 And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to  those causing death. 
18O 033:023 If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a  thousand, To declare for man his uprightness: 
18O 033:024 Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going  down to the pit, I have found an atonement.' 
18O 033:025 Fresher [is] his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the  days of his youth. 
18O 033:026 He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him.  And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man  His righteousness. 
18O 033:027 He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I  have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me. 
18O 033:028 He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And  my life on the light looketh.' 
18O 033:029 Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man, 
18O 033:030 To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened  with the light of the living. 
18O 033:031 Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do  speak. 
18O 033:032 If there are words -- answer me, Speak, for I have a  desire to justify thee. 
18O 033:033 If there are not -- hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I  teach thee wisdom. 
18O 034:001 And Elihu answereth and saith: 
18O 034:002 Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear  to me. 
18O 034:003 For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat. 
18O 034:004 Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among  ourselves what [is] good. 
18O 034:005 For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath  turned aside my right, 
18O 034:006 Against my right do I lie? Mortal [is] mine arrow --  without transgression.' 
18O 034:007 Who [is] a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water, 
18O 034:008 And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity,  So as to go with men of wickedness. 
18O 034:009 For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he  delighteth himself with God.' 
18O 034:010 Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from  God to do wickedness, And [from] the Mighty to do perverseness: 
18O 034:011 For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to  the path of each He doth cause him to find. 
18O 034:012 Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth  not pervert judgment. 
18O 034:013 Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath  placed all the habitable world? 
18O 034:014 If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath  unto Him He gathereth. 
18O 034:015 Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth. 
18O 034:016 And if [there is] understanding, hear this, Give ear to  the voice of my words. 
18O 034:017 Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost  thou condemn? 
18O 034:018 Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes --  `Wicked?' 
18O 034:019 That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath  known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands [are]  all of them. 
18O 034:020 [In] a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people,  and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand. 
18O 034:021 For His eyes [are] on the ways of each, And all his steps  He doth see. 
18O 034:022 There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of  iniquity to be hidden there; 
18O 034:023 For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in  judgment, 
18O 034:024 He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth  others in their stead. 
18O 034:025 Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned  by night, And they are bruised. 
18O 034:026 As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of  beholders. 
18O 034:027 Because that against right They have turned aside from  after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely, 
18O 034:028 To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the  cry of the afflicted He heareth. 
18O 034:029 And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the  face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to  a man, [It is] the same. 
18O 034:030 From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a  people; 
18O 034:031 For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not  corruptly, 
18O 034:032 Besides [that which] I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I  have done -- I do not add?' 
18O 034:033 By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That  thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak. 
18O 034:034 Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening  to me. 
18O 034:035 Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words  [are] not with wisdom. 
18O 034:036 My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of  answers for men of iniquity, 
18O 034:037 For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he  vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God. 
18O 035:001 And Elihu answereth and saith: -- 
18O 035:002 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My  righteousness [is] more than God's?' 
18O 035:003 For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I  profit from my sin?' 
18O 035:004 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee, 
18O 035:005 Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the  clouds, They have been higher than thou. 
18O 035:006 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy  transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him? 
18O 035:007 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or  what from thy hand doth He receive? 
18O 035:008 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son  of man thy righteousness. 
18O 035:009 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry  out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty. 
18O 035:010 And none said, `Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in  the night, 
18O 035:011 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than  the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.' 
18O 035:012 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the  pride of evil doers. 
18O 035:013 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not  behold it. 
18O 035:014 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment  [is] before Him, and stay for Him. 
18O 035:015 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His  anger, And He hath not known in great extremity. 
18O 035:016 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without  knowledge words he multiplieth. 
18O 036:001 And Elihu addeth and saith: -- 
18O 036:002 Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God [are]  words. 
18O 036:003 I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe  righteousness. 
18O 036:004 For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in  knowledge [is] with thee. 
18O 036:005 Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power  [and] heart. 
18O 036:006 He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor  appointeth; 
18O 036:007 He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from]  kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they  are high, 
18O 036:008 And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of  affliction, 
18O 036:009 Then He declareth to them their work, And their  transgressions, Because they have become mighty, 
18O 036:010 And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith  that they turn back from iniquity. 
18O 036:011 If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in  good, And their years in pleasantness. 
18O 036:012 And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away,  And expire without knowledge. 
18O 036:013 And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when  He hath bound them. 
18O 036:014 Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the  defiled. 
18O 036:015 He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And  uncovereth in oppression their ear. 
18O 036:016 And also He moved thee from a strait place, [To] a broad  place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy  table Hath been full of fatness. 
18O 036:017 And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled,  Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury, 
18O 036:018 Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an  atonement turn thee not aside. 
18O 036:019 Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces  of power. 
18O 036:020 Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their  stead. 
18O 036:021 Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou  hast fixed Rather than [on] affliction. 
18O 036:022 Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who [is] like Him  -- a teacher? 
18O 036:023 Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou  hast done iniquity?' 
18O 036:024 Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld. 
18O 036:025 All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from  afar. 
18O 036:026 Lo, God [is] high, And we know not the number of His  years, Yea, there [is] no searching. 
18O 036:027 When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine  rain according to its vapour, 
18O 036:028 Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly. 
18O 036:029 Yea, doth [any] understand The spreadings out of a cloud?  The noises of His tabernacle? 
18O 036:030 Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the  sea He hath covered, 
18O 036:031 For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in  abundance. 
18O 036:032 By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a  charge over it in meeting, 
18O 036:033 He sheweth by it [to] his friend substance, Anger against  perversity. 
18O 037:001 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its  place. 
18O 037:002 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the  sound from His mouth goeth forth. 
18O 037:003 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is]  over the skirts of the earth. 
18O 037:004 After it roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice  of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His  voice is heard. 
18O 037:005 God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great  things and we know not. 
18O 037:006 For to snow He saith, `Be [on] the earth.' And the small  rain and great rain of His power. 
18O 037:007 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by  all men of His work. 
18O 037:008 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its  habitations it doth continue. 
18O 037:009 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from  scatterings winds -- cold, 
18O 037:010 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of  waters is straitened, 
18O 037:011 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud  doth His light. 
18O 037:012 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their  doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable  earth. 
18O 037:013 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He  doth cause it to come. 
18O 037:014 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God. 
18O 037:015 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to  shine the light of His cloud? 
18O 037:016 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of  the Perfect in knowledge? 
18O 037:017 How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth  from the south? 
18O 037:018 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds --  strong as a hard mirror! 
18O 037:019 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array  because of darkness. 
18O 037:020 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken,  surely he is swallowed up. 
18O 037:021 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in  the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them. 
18O 037:022 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful  honour. 
18O 037:023 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and  judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness, 
18O 037:024 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of  heart. 
18O 038:001 And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith:  -- 
18O 038:002 Who [is] this -- darkening counsel, By words without  knowledge? 
18O 038:003 Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and  cause thou Me to know. 
18O 038:004 Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast  known understanding. 
18O 038:005 Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath  stretched out upon it a line? 
18O 038:006 On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its  corner-stone? 
18O 038:007 In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons  of God shout for joy, 
18O 038:008 And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth,  from the womb it goeth out. 
18O 038:009 In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its  swaddling band, 
18O 038:010 And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors, 
18O 038:011 And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command  is placed On the pride of thy billows.' 
18O 038:012 Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou  the dawn to know its place? 
18O 038:013 To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked  are shaken out of it, 
18O 038:014 It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station  themselves as clothed. 
18O 038:015 And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm  lifted up is broken. 
18O 038:016 Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching  the deep Hast thou walked up and down? 
18O 038:017 Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of  death-shade dost thou see? 
18O 038:018 Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of  earth! Declare -- if thou hast known it all. 
18O 038:019 Where [is] this -- the way light dwelleth? And darkness,  where [is] this -- its place? 
18O 038:020 That thou dost take it unto its boundary, And that thou  dost understand The paths of its house. 
18O 038:021 Thou hast known -- for then thou art born And the number  of thy days [are] many! 
18O 038:022 Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the  treasures of hail dost thou see? 
18O 038:023 That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of  conflict and battle. 
18O 038:024 Where [is] this, the way light is apportioned? It  scattereth an east wind over the earth. 
18O 038:025 Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for  the lightning of the voices? 
18O 038:026 To cause [it] to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness --  no man in it. 
18O 038:027 To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to  shoot up The produce of the tender grass? 
18O 038:028 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of  dew? 
18O 038:029 From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of  the heavens, Who hath begotten it? 
18O 038:030 As a stone waters are hidden, And the face of the deep is  captured. 
18O 038:031 Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the  attractions of Kesil dost thou open? 
18O 038:032 Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for  her sons dost thou comfort? 
18O 038:033 Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou  appoint Its dominion in the earth? 
18O 038:034 Dost thou lift up to the cloud thy voice, And abundance of  water doth cover thee? 
18O 038:035 Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto  thee, `Behold us?' 
18O 038:036 Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given  To the covered part understanding? 
18O 038:037 Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of  the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down, 
18O 038:038 In the hardening of dust into hardness, And clods cleave  together? 
18O 038:039 Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young  lions fulfil? 
18O 038:040 When they bow down in dens -- Abide in a thicket for a  covert? 
18O 038:041 Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young  ones cry unto God? They wander without food. 
18O 039:001 Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats  of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark! 
18O 039:002 Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast  known the time of their bringing forth! 
18O 039:003 They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely,  Their pangs they cast forth. 
18O 039:004 Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they  have gone out, And have not returned to them. 
18O 039:005 Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of  the wild ass who opened? 
18O 039:006 Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings  the barren land, 
18O 039:007 He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an  exactor he heareth not. 
18O 039:008 The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And after every  green thing he seeketh. 
18O 039:009 Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib? 
18O 039:010 Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow [with] his thick band?  Doth he harrow valleys after thee? 
18O 039:011 Dost thou trust in him because great [is] his power? And  dost thou leave unto him thy labour? 
18O 039:012 Dost thou trust in him That he doth bring back thy seed?  And [to] thy threshing-floor doth gather [it]? 
18O 039:013 The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion  of the ostrich or hawk. 
18O 039:014 For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she  doth warm them, 
18O 039:015 And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast  of the field tread it down. 
18O 039:016 Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain [is]  her labour without fear. 
18O 039:017 For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not  given a portion To her in understanding: 
18O 039:018 At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth  at the horse and at his rider. 
18O 039:019 Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his  neck [with] a mane? 
18O 039:020 Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of  his snorting [is] terrible. 
18O 039:021 They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth  forth to meet the armour. 
18O 039:022 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth  not back from the face of the sword. 
18O 039:023 Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and  a halbert. 
18O 039:024 With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And  remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet. 
18O 039:025 Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth  smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting. 
18O 039:026 By thine understanding flieth a hawk? Spreadeth he his  wings to the south? 
18O 039:027 At thy command goeth an eagle up high? Or lifteth he up  his nest? 
18O 039:028 A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a  rock, and fortress. 
18O 039:029 From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his  eyes look attentively, 
18O 039:030 And his brood gulph up blood, And where the pierced [are]  -- there [is] he! 
18O 040:001 And Jehovah doth answer Job, and saith: -- 
18O 040:002 Is the striver with the Mighty instructed? The reprover of  God, let him answer it. 
18O 040:003 And Job answereth Jehovah, and saith: -- 
18O 040:004 Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I  have placed on my mouth. 
18O 040:005 Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add  not. 
18O 040:006 And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith:  -- 
18O 040:007 Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, I ask thee, and  cause thou Me to know. 
18O 040:008 Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me,  That thou mayest be righteous? 
18O 040:009 And an arm like God hast thou? And with a voice like Him  dost thou thunder? 
18O 040:010 Put on, I pray thee, excellency and loftiness, Yea, honour  and beauty put on. 
18O 040:011 Scatter abroad the wrath of thine anger, And see every  proud one, and make him low. 
18O 040:012 See every proud one -- humble him, And tread down the  wicked in their place. 
18O 040:013 Hide them in the dust together, Their faces bind in  secret. 
18O 040:014 And even I -- I do praise thee, For thy right hand giveth  salvation to thee. 
18O 040:015 Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as  an ox he eateth. 
18O 040:016 Lo, I pray thee, his power [is] in his loins, And his  strength in the muscles of his belly. 
18O 040:017 He doth bend his tail as a cedar, The sinews of his thighs  are wrapped together, 
18O 040:018 His bones [are] tubes of brass, His bones [are] as a bar  of iron. 
18O 040:019 He [is] a beginning of the ways of God, His Maker bringeth  nigh his sword; 
18O 040:020 For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of  the field play there. 
18O 040:021 Under shades he lieth down, In a secret place of reed and  mire. 
18O 040:022 Cover him do shades, [with] their shadow, Cover him do  willows of the brook. 
18O 040:023 Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is  confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth. 
18O 040:024 Before his eyes doth [one] take him, With snares doth  [one] pierce the nose? 
18O 041:001 Dost thou draw leviathan with an angle? And with a rope  thou lettest down -- his tongue? 
18O 041:002 Dost thou put a reed in his nose? And with a thorn pierce  his jaw? 
18O 041:003 Doth he multiply unto thee supplications? Doth he speak  unto thee tender things? 
18O 041:004 Doth he make a covenant with thee? Dost thou take him for a  servant age-during? 
18O 041:005 Dost thou play with him as a bird? And dost thou bind him  for thy damsels? 
18O 041:006 (Feast upon him do companions, They divide him among the  merchants!) 
18O 041:007 Dost thou fill with barbed irons his skin? And with  fish-spears his head? 
18O 041:008 Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle -- do not add! 
18O 041:009 Lo, the hope of him is found a liar, Also at his appearance  is not one cast down? 
18O 041:010 None so fierce that he doth awake him, And who [is] he  before Me stationeth himself? 
18O 041:011 Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole  heavens it [is] mine. 
18O 041:012 I do not keep silent concerning his parts, And the matter  of might, And the grace of his arrangement. 
18O 041:013 Who hath uncovered the face of his clothing? Within his  double bridle who doth enter? 
18O 041:014 The doors of his face who hath opened? Round about his  teeth [are] terrible. 
18O 041:015 A pride -- strong ones of shields, Shut up -- a close  seal. 
18O 041:016 One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter  between them. 
18O 041:017 One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are  not separated. 
18O 041:018 His sneezings cause light to shine, And his eyes [are] as  the eyelids of the dawn. 
18O 041:019 Out of his mouth do flames go, sparks of fire escape. 
18O 041:020 Out of his nostrils goeth forth smoke, As a blown pot and  reeds. 
18O 041:021 His breath setteth coals on fire, And a flame from his  mouth goeth forth. 
18O 041:022 In his neck lodge doth strength, And before him doth grief  exult. 
18O 041:023 The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him --  it is not moved. 
18O 041:024 His heart [is] firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the lower  piece. 
18O 041:025 From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings  they keep themselves free. 
18O 041:026 The sword of his overtaker standeth not, Spear -- dart --  and lance. 
18O 041:027 He reckoneth iron as straw, brass as rotten wood. 
18O 041:028 The son of the bow doth not cause him to flee, Turned by  him into stubble are stones of the sling. 
18O 041:029 As stubble have darts been reckoned, And he laugheth at  the shaking of a javelin. 
18O 041:030 Under him [are] sharp points of clay, He spreadeth gold on  the mire. 
18O 041:031 He causeth to boil as a pot the deep, The sea he maketh as  a pot of ointment. 
18O 041:032 After him he causeth a path to shine, One thinketh the  deep to be hoary. 
18O 041:033 There is not on the earth his like, That is made without  terror. 
18O 041:034 Every high thing he doth see, He [is] king over all sons  of pride. 
18O 042:001 And Job answereth Jehovah and saith: -- 
18O 042:002 Thou hast known that [for] all things Thou art able, And  not withheld from Thee is [any] device: 
18O 042:003 `Who [is] this, hiding counsel without knowledge?'  Therefore, I have declared, and understand not, Too wonderful  for me, and I know not. 
18O 042:004 `Hear, I pray thee, and I -- I do speak, I ask thee, and  cause thou me to know.' 
18O 042:005 By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye  hath seen Thee. 
18O 042:006 Therefore do I loathe [it], And I have repented on dust and  ashes. 
18O 042:007 And it cometh to pass after Jehovah's speaking these words  unto Job, that Jehovah saith unto Eliphaz the Temanite, `Burned  hath Mine anger against thee, and against thy two friends,  because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My  servant Job. 
18O 042:008 And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go  ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to  ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for  surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly,  because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My  servant Job. 
18O 042:009 And they go -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the  Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite -- and do as Jehovah hath spoken  unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job. 
18O 042:010 And Jehovah hath turned [to] the captivity of Job in his  praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add [to] all that Job  hath -- to double. 
18O 042:011 And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his  sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread  with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him  concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and  they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold. 
18O 042:012 And Jehovah hath blessed the latter end of Job more than  his beginning, and he hath fourteen thousand of a flock, and six  thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand  she-asses. 
18O 042:013 And he hath seven sons and three daughters; 
18O 042:014 and he calleth the name of the one Jemima, and the name of  the second Kezia, and the name of the third Keren-Happuch. 
18O 042:015 And there have not been found women fair as the daughters  of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an  inheritance in the midst of their brethren. 
18O 042:016 And Job liveth after this a hundred and forty years, and  seeth his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations; 
18O 042:017 and Job dieth, aged and satisfied [with] days. 
19O 001:001 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the  counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not  stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat; 
19O 001:002 But -- in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His  law he doth meditate by day and by night: 
19O 001:003 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water,  That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not  wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper. 
19O 001:004 Not so the wicked: But -- as chaff that wind driveth away! 
19O 001:005 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in  the company of the righteous, 
19O 001:006 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way  of the wicked is lost! 
19O 002:001 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples  meditate vanity? 
19O 002:002 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have  been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah: 
19O 002:003 `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick  bands.' 
19O 002:004 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth  mock at them. 
19O 002:005 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath  He doth trouble them: 
19O 002:006 `And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy  hill.' 
19O 002:007 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My  Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth. 
19O 002:008 Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy  possession -- the ends of earth. 
19O 002:009 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a  potter Thou dost crush them.' 
19O 002:010 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of  earth, 
19O 002:011 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. 
19O 002:012 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way,  When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all  trusting in Him! 
19O 003:001 A Psalm of David, in his fleeing from the face of Absalom  his son. Jehovah, how have my distresses multiplied! Many are  rising up against me. 
19O 003:002 Many are saying of my soul, `There is no salvation for him  in God.' Selah. 
19O 003:003 And Thou, O Jehovah, [art] a shield for me, My honour, and  lifter up of my head. 
19O 003:004 My voice [is] unto Jehovah: I call: And He answereth me from  his holy hill, Selah. 
19O 003:005 I -- I have lain down, and I sleep, I have waked, for  Jehovah sustaineth me. 
19O 003:006 I am not afraid of myriads of people, That round about they  have set against me. 
19O 003:007 Rise, O Jehovah! save me, my God. Because Thou hast smitten  All mine enemies [on] the cheek. The teeth of the wicked Thou  hast broken. 
19O 003:008 Of Jehovah [is] this salvation; On Thy people [is] Thy  blessing! Selah. 
19O 004:001 To the Overseer with Stringed Instruments. -- A Psalm of  David. In my calling answer Thou me, O God of my righteousness.  In adversity Thou gavest enlargement to me; Favour me, and hear  my prayer. 
19O 004:002 Sons of men! till when [is] my glory for shame? Ye love a vain  thing, ye seek a lie. Selah. 
19O 004:003 And know ye that Jehovah Hath separated a saintly one to  Himself. Jehovah heareth in my calling to Him. 
19O 004:004 `Tremble ye, and do not sin;' Say ye [thus] in your heart  on your bed, And be ye silent. Selah. 
19O 004:005 Sacrifice ye sacrifices of righteousness, And trust ye unto  Jehovah. 
19O 004:006 Many are saying, `Who doth show us good?' Lift on us the  light of Thy face, O Jehovah, 
19O 004:007 Thou hast given joy in my heart, From the time their corn  and their wine Have been multiplied. 
19O 004:008 In peace together I lie down and sleep, For Thou, O Jehovah,  alone, In confidence dost cause me to dwell! 
19O 005:001 To the Overseer, `Concerning the Inheritances.' -- A Psalm  of David. My sayings hear, O Jehovah, Consider my meditation. 
19O 005:002 Be attentive to the voice of my cry, My king and my God, For  unto Thee I pray habitually. 
19O 005:003 Jehovah, [at] morning Thou hearest my voice, [At] morning I  set in array for Thee, And I look out. 
19O 005:004 For not a God desiring wickedness [art] Thou, Evil  inhabiteth Thee not. 
19O 005:005 The boastful station not themselves before Thine eyes: Thou  hast hated all working iniquity. 
19O 005:006 Thou destroyest those speaking lies, A man of blood and  deceit Jehovah doth abominate. 
19O 005:007 And I, in the abundance of Thy kindness, I enter Thy house,  I bow myself toward Thy holy temple in Thy fear. 
19O 005:008 O Jehovah, lead me in Thy righteousness, Because of those  observing me, Make straight before me Thy way, 
19O 005:009 For there is no stability in their mouth. Their heart [is]  mischiefs, An open grave [is] their throat, Their tongue they  make smooth. 
19O 005:010 Declare them guilty, O God, Let them fall from their own  counsels, In the abundance of their transgressions Drive them  away, Because they have rebelled against Thee. 
19O 005:011 And rejoice do all trusting in Thee, To the age they sing,  and Thou coverest them over, And those loving Thy name exult in  Thee. 
19O 005:012 For Thou blessest the righteous, O Jehovah, As a buckler  with favour dost compass him! 
19O 006:001 To the Overseer with stringed instruments, on the octave. --  A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, in Thine anger reprove me not, Nor  in Thy fury chastise me. 
19O 006:002 Favour me, O Jehovah, for I [am] weak, Heal me, O Jehovah,  For troubled have been my bones, 
19O 006:003 And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah,  till when? 
19O 006:004 Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy  kindness' sake. 
19O 006:005 For there is not in death Thy memorial, In Sheol, who doth  give thanks to Thee? 
19O 006:006 I have been weary with my sighing, I meditate through all  the night [on] my bed, With my tear my couch I waste. 
19O 006:007 Old from provocation is mine eye, It is old because of all  mine adversaries, 
19O 006:008 Turn from me all ye workers of iniquity, For Jehovah heard  the voice of my weeping, 
19O 006:009 Jehovah hath heard my supplication, Jehovah my prayer  receiveth. 
19O 006:010 Ashamed and troubled greatly are all mine enemies, They  turn back -- ashamed [in] a moment! 
19O 007:001 `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah  concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in  Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver  me. 
19O 007:002 Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no  deliverer. 
19O 007:003 O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity  in my hands, 
19O 007:004 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary  without cause, 
19O 007:005 An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down  to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah. 
19O 007:006 Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath  of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast  commanded: 
19O 007:007 And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high  turn Thou back, 
19O 007:008 Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah,  According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity  on me, 
19O 007:009 Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And  establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins  is the righteous God. 
19O 007:010 My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart! 
19O 007:011 God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all  times. 
19O 007:012 If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath  trodden -- He prepareth it, 
19O 007:013 Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His  arrows for burning pursuers He maketh. 
19O 007:014 Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived  perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood. 
19O 007:015 A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth  into a ditch he maketh. 
19O 007:016 Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown  his violence cometh down. 
19O 007:017 I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise  the name of Jehovah Most High! 
19O 008:001 To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David. Jehovah,  our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest  thine honour on the heavens. 
19O 008:002 From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded  strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a  self-avenger. 
19O 008:003 For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars  that Thou didst establish. 
19O 008:004 What [is] man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that  Thou inspectest him? 
19O 008:005 And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour  and majesty compassest him. 
19O 008:006 Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All  Thou hast placed under his feet. 
19O 008:007 Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field, 
19O 008:008 Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through  the paths of the seas! 
19O 008:009 Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! 
19O 009:001 To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of  David. I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all  Thy wonders, 
19O 009:002 I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High. 
19O 009:003 In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish  from Thy face. 
19O 009:004 For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat  on a throne, A judge of righteousness. 
19O 009:005 Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked,  Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever. 
19O 009:006 O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As  to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial  with them. 
19O 009:007 And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment  His throne. 
19O 009:008 And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the  peoples in uprightness. 
19O 009:009 And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of  adversity. 
19O 009:010 They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not  forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah. 
19O 009:011 Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye  among the peoples His acts, 
19O 009:012 For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He  hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted. 
19O 009:013 Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating  me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death, 
19O 009:014 So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the  daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation. 
19O 009:015 Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they  hid hath their foot been captured. 
19O 009:016 Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work  of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah. 
19O 009:017 The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting  God. 
19O 009:018 For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the  humble lost to the age. 
19O 009:019 Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be  judged before Thy face. 
19O 009:020 Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know  they [are] men! Selah. 
19O 010:001 Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide  in times of adversity, 
19O 010:002 Through the pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They  are caught in devices that they devised. 
19O 010:003 Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul,  And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised  Jehovah. 
19O 010:004 The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth  not. `God is not!' [are] all his devices. 
19O 010:005 Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments  before him, All his adversaries -- he puffeth at them. 
19O 010:006 He hath said in his heart, `I am not moved,' To generation  and generation not in evil. 
19O 010:007 Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under  his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity, 
19O 010:008 He doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places  he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch  secretly, 
19O 010:009 He lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert.  He lieth in wait to catch the poor, He catcheth the poor,  drawing him into his net. 
19O 010:010 He is bruised -- he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones  hath the afflicted. 
19O 010:011 He said in his heart, `God hath forgotten, He hath hid His  face, He hath never seen.' 
19O 010:012 Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the  humble. 
19O 010:013 Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in  his heart, `It is not required.' 
19O 010:014 Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest;  By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it],  Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper. 
19O 010:015 Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his  wickedness, find none; 
19O 010:016 Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations  have perished out of His land! 
19O 010:017 The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou  preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend, 
19O 010:018 To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to  oppress -- man of the earth! 
19O 011:001 To the Overseer. -- By David. In Jehovah I trusted, how say  ye to my soul, `They moved [to] Thy mountain for the bird? 
19O 011:002 For lo, the wicked tread a bow, They have prepared their  arrow on the string, To shoot in darkness at the upright in  heart. 
19O 011:003 When the foundations are destroyed, The righteous -- what  hath he done? 
19O 011:004 `Jehovah [is] in his holy temple: Jehovah -- in the heavens  [is] His throne. His eyes see -- His eyelids try the sons of  men. 
19O 011:005 Jehovah the righteous doth try. And the wicked and the  lover of violence, Hath His soul hated, 
19O 011:006 He poureth on the wicked snares, fire, and brimstone, And a  horrible wind [is] the portion of their cup. 
19O 011:007 For righteous [is] Jehovah, Righteousness He hath loved,  The upright doth His countenance see!' 
19O 012:001 To the Overseer, on the octave. -- A Psalm of David. Save,  Jehovah, for the saintly hath failed, For the stedfast have  ceased From the sons of men: 
19O 012:002 Vanity they speak each with his neighbour, Lip of flattery!  With heart and heart they speak. 
19O 012:003 Jehovah doth cut off all lips of flattery, A tongue  speaking great things, 
19O 012:004 Who said, `By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips [are] our  own; who [is] lord over us?' 
19O 012:005 Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the  groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in  safety [him who] doth breathe for it. 
19O 012:006 Sayings of Jehovah [are] pure sayings; Silver tried in a  furnace of earth refined sevenfold. 
19O 012:007 Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from  this generation to the age. 
19O 012:008 Around the wicked walk continually, According as vileness  is exalted by sons of men! 
19O 013:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Till when, O Jehovah,  Dost Thou forget me? -- for ever? Till when dost Thou hide Thy  face from me? 
19O 013:002 Till when do I set counsels in my soul? Sorrow inn my heart  daily? Till when is mine enemy exalted over me? 
19O 013:003 Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten  mine eyes, lest I sleep in death, 
19O 013:004 Lest mine enemy say, `I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy  when I am moved. 
19O 013:005 And I, in Thy kindness I have trusted, Rejoice doth my  heart in Thy salvation. 
19O 013:006 I do sing to Jehovah, For He hath conferred benefits upon  me! 
19O 014:001 To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his  heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done  abominable actions, There is not a doer of good. 
19O 014:002 Jehovah from the heavens Hath looked on the sons of men, To  see if there is a wise one -- seeking God. 
19O 014:003 The whole have turned aside, Together they have been  filthy: There is not a doer of good, not even one. 
19O 014:004 Have all working iniquity not known? Those consuming my  people have eaten bread, Jehovah they have not called. 
19O 014:005 There they have feared a fear, For God [is] in the  generation of the righteous. 
19O 014:006 The counsel of the poor ye cause to stink, Because Jehovah  [is] his refuge. 
19O 014:007 `Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When  Jehovah doth turn back [To] a captivity of His people, Jacob  doth rejoice -- Israel is glad! 
19O 015:001 A Psalm of David. Jehovah, who doth sojourn in Thy tent?  Who doth dwell in Thy holy hill? 
19O 015:002 He who is walking uprightly, And working righteousness, And  speaking truth in his heart. 
19O 015:003 He hath not slandered by his tongue, He hath not done to  his friend evil; And reproach he hath not lifted up Against his  neighbour. 
19O 015:004 Despised in his eyes [is] a rejected one, And those fearing  Jehovah he doth honour. He hath sworn to suffer evil, and  changeth not; 
19O 015:005 His silver he hath not given in usury, And a bribe against  the innocent Hath not taken; Whoso is doing these is not moved  to the age! 
19O 016:001 A Secret Treasure of David. Preserve me, O God, for I did  trust in Thee. 
19O 016:002 Thou hast said to Jehovah, `My Lord Thou [art];' My good  [is] not for thine own sake; 
19O 016:003 For the holy ones who [are] in the land, And the  honourable, all my delight [is] in them. 
19O 016:004 Multiplied are their griefs, [Who] have hastened backward;  I pour not out their libations of blood, Nor do I take up their  names on my lips. 
19O 016:005 Jehovah [is] the portion of my share, and of my cup, Thou  -- Thou dost uphold my lot. 
19O 016:006 Lines have fallen to me in pleasant places, Yea, a  beauteous inheritance [is] for me. 
19O 016:007 I bless Jehovah who hath counselled me; Also [in] the  nights my reins instruct me. 
19O 016:008 I did place Jehovah before me continually, Because -- at my  right hand I am not moved. 
19O 016:009 Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth  rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently: 
19O 016:010 For Thou dost not leave my soul to Sheol, Nor givest thy  saintly one to see corruption. 
19O 016:011 Thou causest me to know the path of life; Fulness of joys  [is] with Thy presence, Pleasant things by Thy right hand for  ever! 
19O 017:001 A Prayer of David. Hear, O Jehovah, righteousness, attend  my cry, Give ear [to] my prayer, without lips of deceit. 
19O 017:002 From before thee my judgment doth go out; Thine eyes do see  uprightly. 
19O 017:003 Thou hast proved my heart, Thou hast inspected by night,  Thou hast tried me, Thou findest nothing; My thoughts pass not  over my mouth. 
19O 017:004 As to doings of man, Through a word of Thy lips I have  observed The paths of a destroyer; 
19O 017:005 To uphold my goings in Thy paths, My steps have not  slidden. 
19O 017:006 I -- I called Thee, for Thou dost answer me, O God, incline  Thine ear to me, hear my speech. 
19O 017:007 Separate wonderfully Thy kindness, O Saviour of the  confiding, By Thy right hand, from withstanders. 
19O 017:008 Keep me as the apple, the daughter of the eye; In shadow of  Thy wings thou dost hide me. 
19O 017:009 From the face of the wicked who spoiled me. Mine enemies in  soul go round against me. 
19O 017:010 Their fat they have closed up, Their mouths have spoken  with pride: 
19O 017:011 `Our steps now have compassed [him];' Their eyes they set  to turn aside in the land. 
19O 017:012 His likeness as a lion desirous to tear, As a young lion  dwelling in secret places. 
19O 017:013 Arise, O Jehovah, go before his face, Cause him to bend.  Deliver my soul from the wicked, Thy sword, 
19O 017:014 From men, Thy hand, O Jehovah, From men of the world,  their portion [is] in life, And [with] Thy hidden things Thou  fillest their belly, They are satisfied [with] sons; And have  left their abundance to their sucklings. 
19O 017:015 I -- in righteousness, I see Thy face; I am satisfied, in  awaking, [with] Thy form! 
19O 018:001 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David, who  hath spoken to Jehovah the words of this song in the day  Jehovah delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and  from the hand of Saul, and he saith: -- I love Thee, O Jehovah,  my strength. 
19O 018:002 Jehovah [is] my rock, and my bulwark, And my deliverer, My  God [is] my rock, I trust in Him: My shield, and a horn of my  salvation, My high tower. 
19O 018:003 The `Praised One' I call Jehovah, And from my enemies I am  saved. 
19O 018:004 Compassed me have cords of death, And streams of the  worthless make me afraid. 
19O 018:005 Cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been  snares of death. 
19O 018:006 In mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I cry. He  heareth from His temple my voice, And My cry before Him cometh  into His ears. 
19O 018:007 And shake and tremble doth the earth, And foundations of  hills are troubled, And they shake -- because He hath wrath. 
19O 018:008 Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils, And fire from His mouth  consumeth, Coals have been kindled by it. 
19O 018:009 And He inclineth the heavens, and cometh down, And thick  darkness [is] under His feet. 
19O 018:010 And He rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, And He flieth on  wings of wind. 
19O 018:011 He maketh darkness His secret place, Round about Him His  tabernacle, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 
19O 018:012 From the brightness over-against Him His thick clouds have  passed on, Hail and coals of fire. 
19O 018:013 And thunder in the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most  High giveth forth His voice, Hail and coals of fire. 
19O 018:014 And He sendeth His arrows and scattereth them, And much  lightning, and crusheth them. 
19O 018:015 And seen are the streams of waters, And revealed are  foundations of the earth. From Thy rebuke, O Jehovah, From the  breath of the spirit of Thine anger. 
19O 018:016 He sendeth from above -- He taketh me, He draweth me out  of many waters. 
19O 018:017 He delivereth me from my strong enemy, And from those  hating me, For they have been stronger than I. 
19O 018:018 They go before me in a day of my calamity And Jehovah is  for a support to me. 
19O 018:019 And He bringeth me forth to a large place, He draweth me  out, because He delighted in me. 
19O 018:020 Jehovah doth recompense me According to my righteousness,  According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me. 
19O 018:021 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not done  wickedly against my God. 
19O 018:022 For all His judgments [are] before me, And His statutes I  turn not from me. 
19O 018:023 And I am perfect with him, And I keep myself from mine  iniquity. 
19O 018:024 And Jehovah doth return to me, According to my  righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands,  Over-against his eyes. 
19O 018:025 With the kind Thou showest Thyself kind, With a perfect  man showest Thyself perfect. 
19O 018:026 With the pure Thou showest Thyself pure, And with the  perverse showest Thyself a wrestler, 
19O 018:027 For Thou a poor people savest, And the eyes of the high  causest to fall. 
19O 018:028 For Thou -- Thou lightest my lamp, Jehovah my God  enlighteneth my darkness. 
19O 018:029 For by Thee I run -- a troop! And by my God I leap a wall. 
19O 018:030 God! perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried,  A shield [is] He to all those trusting in Him. 
19O 018:031 For who [is] God besides Jehovah? And who [is] a rock save  our God? 
19O 018:032 God! who is girding me [with] strength, And He maketh  perfect my way. 
19O 018:033 Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth  me to stand. 
19O 018:034 Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of brass was  brought down by my arms. 
19O 018:035 And Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy  right hand doth support me, And Thy lowliness maketh me great. 
19O 018:036 Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not  slidden. 
19O 018:037 I pursue mine enemies, and overtake them, And turn back  not till they are consumed. 
19O 018:038 I smite them, and they are not able to rise, They fall  under my feet, 
19O 018:039 And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Causest my  withstanders to bow under me. 
19O 018:040 As to mine enemies -- Thou hast given to me the neck, As  to those hating me -- I cut them off. 
19O 018:041 They cry, and there is no saviour, On Jehovah, and He doth  not answer them. 
19O 018:042 And I beat them as dust before wind, As mire of the  streets I empty them out. 
19O 018:043 Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of the people,  Thou placest me for a head of nations, A people I have not  known do serve me. 
19O 018:044 At the hearing of the ear they hearken to me, Sons of a  stranger feign obedience to me, 
19O 018:045 Sons of a stranger fade away, And are slain out of their  close places. 
19O 018:046 Jehovah liveth -- and blessed [is] my rock, And exalted is  the God of my salvation. 
19O 018:047 God -- who is giving vengeance to me, And He subdueth  peoples under me, 
19O 018:048 My deliverer from mine enemies, Above my withstanders Thou  raisest me, From a man of violence dost deliver me. 
19O 018:049 Therefore I confess Thee among nations, O Jehovah, And to  Thy name I sing praise, 
19O 018:050 Magnifying the salvation of His king, And doing kindness  to His anointed, To David, and to his seed -- unto the age! 
19O 019:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. The heavens [are]  recounting the honour of God, And the work of His hands The  expanse [is] declaring. 
19O 019:002 Day to day uttereth speech, And night to night sheweth  knowledge. 
19O 019:003 There is no speech, and there are no words. Their voice  hath not been heard. 
19O 019:004 Into all the earth hath their line gone forth, And to the  end of the world their sayings, For the sun He placed a tent in  them, 
19O 019:005 And he, as a bridegroom, goeth out from his covering, He  rejoiceth as a mighty one To run the path. 
19O 019:006 From the end of the heavens [is] his going out, And his  revolution [is] unto their ends, And nothing is hid from his  heat. 
19O 019:007 The law of Jehovah [is] perfect, refreshing the soul, The  testimonies of Jehovah [are] stedfast, Making wise the simple, 
19O 019:008 The precepts of Jehovah [are] upright, Rejoicing the heart,  The command of Jehovah [is] pure, enlightening the eyes, 
19O 019:009 The fear of Jehovah [is] clean, standing to the age, The  judgments of Jehovah [are] true, They have been righteous --  together. 
19O 019:010 They are more desirable than gold, Yea, than much fine  gold; and sweeter than honey, Even liquid honey of the comb. 
19O 019:011 Also -- Thy servant is warned by them, `In keeping them  [is] a great reward.' 
19O 019:012 Errors! who doth understand? From hidden ones declare me  innocent, 
19O 019:013 Also -- from presumptuous ones keep back Thy servant, Let  them not rule over me, Then am I perfect, And declared innocent  of much transgression, 
19O 019:014 Let the sayings of my mouth, And the meditation of my  heart, Be for a pleasing thing before Thee, O Jehovah, my rock,  and my redeemer! 
19O 020:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah doth answer  thee, In a day of adversity, The name of the God of Jacob doth  set thee on high, 
19O 020:002 He doth send thy help from the sanctuary, And from Zion  doth support thee, 
19O 020:003 He doth remember all thy presents, And thy burnt-offering doth reduce to ashes. Selah. 
19O 020:004 He doth give to thee according to thy heart, And all thy  counsel doth fulfil. 
19O 020:005 We sing of thy salvation, And in the name of our God set up  a banner. Jehovah doth fulfil all thy requests. 
19O 020:006 Now I have known That Jehovah hath saved His anointed, He  answereth him from His holy heavens, With the saving might of  His right hand. 
19O 020:007 Some of chariots, and some of horses, And we of the name of  Jehovah our God Make mention. 
19O 020:008 They -- they have bowed and have fallen, And we have risen  and station ourselves upright. 
19O 020:009 O Jehovah, save the king, He doth answer us in the day we  call! 
19O 021:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Jehovah, in Thy  strength is the king joyful, In Thy salvation how greatly he  rejoiceth. 
19O 021:002 The desire of his heart Thou gavest to him, And the request  of his lips Thou hast not withheld. Selah. 
19O 021:003 For Thou puttest before him blessings of goodness, Thou  settest on his head a crown of fine gold. 
19O 021:004 Life he hath asked from Thee, Thou hast given to him --  length of days, Age-during -- and for ever. 
19O 021:005 Great [is] his honour in Thy salvation, Honour and majesty  Thou placest on him. 
19O 021:006 For Thou makest him blessings for ever, Thou dost cause him  to rejoice with joy, By Thy countenance. 
19O 021:007 For the king is trusting in Jehovah, And in the kindness of  the Most High He is not moved. 
19O 021:008 Thy hand cometh to all Thine enemies, Thy right hand doth  find Thy haters. 
19O 021:009 Thou makest them as a furnace of fire, At the time of Thy  presence. Jehovah in His anger doth swallow them, And fire doth  devour them. 
19O 021:010 Their fruit from earth Thou destroyest, And their seed  from the sons of men. 
19O 021:011 For they stretched out against Thee evil, They devised a  wicked device, they prevail not, 
19O 021:012 For Thou makest them a butt, When Thy strings Thou  preparest against their faces. 
19O 021:013 Be Thou exalted, O Jehovah in, Thy strength, We sing and  we praise Thy might! 
19O 022:001 To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm  of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from  my salvation, The words of my roaring? 
19O 022:002 My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by  night, and there is no silence to me. 
19O 022:003 And Thou [art] holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel. 
19O 022:004 In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou  dost deliver them. 
19O 022:005 Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they  trusted, and were not ashamed. 
19O 022:006 And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and  despised of the people. 
19O 022:007 All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip  -- shake the head, 
19O 022:008 `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver  him, for he delighted in him.' 
19O 022:009 For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing  me to trust, On the breasts of my mother. 
19O 022:010 On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of  my mother Thou [art] my God. 
19O 022:011 Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no  helper. 
19O 022:012 Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have  compassed me, 
19O 022:013 They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing  and roaring. 
19O 022:014 As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves  have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in  the midst of my bowels. 
19O 022:015 Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue  is cleaving to my jaws. 
19O 022:016 And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For  surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed  me, Piercing my hands and my feet. 
19O 022:017 I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look  upon me, 
19O 022:018 They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my  clothing they cause a lot to fall. 
19O 022:019 And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to  help me haste. 
19O 022:020 Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine  only one. 
19O 022:021 Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns  of the high places Thou hast answered me! 
19O 022:022 I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the  assembly I praise Thee. 
19O 022:023 Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob,  honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel. 
19O 022:024 For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction  of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in  his crying unto Him He heareth. 
19O 022:025 Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I  complete before His fearers. 
19O 022:026 The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do  those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever. 
19O 022:027 Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the  earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the  nations, 
19O 022:028 For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among  nations. 
19O 022:029 And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow  themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he  [who] hath not revived his soul. 
19O 022:030 A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the  generation. 
19O 022:031 They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that  is borne, that He hath made! 
19O 023:001 A Psalm of David. Jehovah [is] my shepherd, I do not lack, 
19O 023:002 In pastures of tender grass He causeth me to lie down, By  quiet waters He doth lead me. 
19O 023:003 My soul He refresheth, He leadeth me in paths of  righteousness, For His name's sake, 
19O 023:004 Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no  evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they  comfort me. 
19O 023:005 Thou arrangest before me a table, Over-against my  adversaries, Thou hast anointed with oil my head, My cup is  full! 
19O 023:006 Only -- goodness and kindness pursue me, All the days of my  life, And my dwelling [is] in the house of Jehovah, For a  length of days! 
19O 024:001 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its  fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it. 
19O 024:002 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He  doth establish it. 
19O 024:003 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in  His holy place? 
19O 024:004 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted  up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit. 
19O 024:005 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from  the God of his salvation. 
19O 024:006 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy  face, O Jacob! Selah. 
19O 024:007 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors  age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! 
19O 024:008 Who [is] this -- `the king of glory?' Jehovah -- strong and  mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle. 
19O 024:009 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors  age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! 
19O 024:010 Who [is] He -- this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts --  He [is] the king of glory! Selah. 
19O 025:001 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, my soul I lift up. 
19O 025:002 My God, in Thee I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed, Let  not mine enemies exult over me. 
19O 025:003 Also let none waiting on Thee be ashamed, Let the  treacherous dealers without cause be ashamed. 
19O 025:004 Thy ways, O Jehovah, cause me to know, Thy paths teach Thou  me. 
19O 025:005 Cause me to tread in Thy truth, and teach me, For Thou  [art] the God of my salvation, Near Thee I have waited all the  day. 
19O 025:006 Remember Thy mercies, O Jehovah, And Thy kindnesses, for  from the age [are] they. 
19O 025:007 Sins of my youth, and my transgressions, Do not Thou  remember. According to Thy kindness be mindful of me, For Thy  goodness' sake, O Jehovah. 
19O 025:008 Good and upright [is] Jehovah, Therefore He directeth  sinners in the way. 
19O 025:009 He causeth the humble to tread in judgment, And teacheth  the humble His way. 
19O 025:010 All the paths of Jehovah [are] kindness and truth, To  those keeping His covenant, And His testimonies. 
19O 025:011 For Thy name's sake, O Jehovah, Thou hast pardoned mine  iniquity, for it [is] great. 
19O 025:012 Who [is] this -- the man fearing Jehovah? He directeth him  in the way He doth choose. 
19O 025:013 His soul in good doth remain, And his seed doth possess  the land. 
19O 025:014 The secret of Jehovah [is] for those fearing Him, And His  covenant -- to cause them to know. 
19O 025:015 Mine eyes [are] continually unto Jehovah, For He bringeth  out from a net my feet. 
19O 025:016 Turn Thou unto me, and favour me, For lonely and afflicted  [am] I. 
19O 025:017 The distresses of my heart have enlarged themselves, From  my distresses bring me out. 
19O 025:018 See mine affliction and my misery, And bear with all my  sins. 
19O 025:019 See my enemies, for they have been many, And with violent  hatred they have hated me. 
19O 025:020 Keep my soul, and deliver me, Let me not be ashamed, for I  trusted in Thee. 
19O 025:021 Integrity and uprightness do keep me, For I have waited  [on] Thee. 
19O 025:022 Redeem Israel, O God, from all his distresses! 
19O 026:001 By David. Judge me, O Jehovah, for I in mine integrity have  walked, And in Jehovah I have trusted, I slide not. 
19O 026:002 Try me, O Jehovah, and prove me, Purified [are] my reins  and my heart. 
19O 026:003 For Thy kindness [is] before mine eyes, And I have walked  habitually in Thy truth. 
19O 026:004 I have not sat with vain men, And with dissemblers I enter  not. 
19O 026:005 I have hated the assembly of evil doers, And with the  wicked I sit not. 
19O 026:006 I wash in innocency my hands, And I compass Thine altar, O  Jehovah. 
19O 026:007 To sound with a voice of confession, And to recount all Thy  wonders. 
19O 026:008 Jehovah, I have loved the habitation of Thy house, And the  place of the tabernacle of Thine honour. 
19O 026:009 Do not gather with sinners my soul, And with men of blood  my life, 
19O 026:010 In whose hand [is] a wicked device, And their right hand  [is] full of bribes. 
19O 026:011 And I, in mine integrity I walk, Redeem me, and favour me. 
19O 026:012 My foot hath stood in uprightness, In assemblies I bless  Jehovah! 
19O 027:001 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I  fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I  afraid? 
19O 027:002 When evil doers come near to me to eat my flesh, My  adversaries and mine enemies to me, They have stumbled and  fallen. 
19O 027:003 Though a host doth encamp against me, My heart doth not  fear, Though war riseth up against me, In this I [am]  confident. 
19O 027:004 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in  the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the  pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple. 
19O 027:005 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He  hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth  me up. 
19O 027:006 And now, lifted up is my head, Above my enemies -- my  surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of  shouting, I sing, yea, I sing praise to Jehovah. 
19O 027:007 Hear, O Jehovah, my voice -- I call, And favour me, and  answer me. 
19O 027:008 To Thee said my heart `They sought my face, Thy face, O  Jehovah, I seek.' 
19O 027:009 Hide not Thy face from me, Turn not aside in anger Thy  servant, My help Thou hast been. Leave me not, nor forsake me,  O God of my salvation. 
19O 027:010 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then doth  Jehovah gather me. 
19O 027:011 Shew me, O Jehovah, Thy way, And lead me in a path of  uprightness, For the sake of my beholders. 
19O 027:012 Give me not to the will of my adversaries, For risen  against me have false witnesses, And they breathe out violence  to me. 
19O 027:013 I had not believed to look on the goodness of Jehovah In  the land of the living! 
19O 027:014 Look unto Jehovah -- be strong, And He doth strengthen thy  heart, Yea, look unto Jehovah! 
19O 028:001 By David. Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, My rock, be not  silent to me! Lest Thou be silent to me, And I have been  compared With those going down to the pit. 
19O 028:002 Hear the voice of my supplications, In my crying unto Thee,  In my lifting up my hands toward thy holy oracle. 
19O 028:003 Draw me not with the wicked, And with workers of iniquity,  Speaking peace with their neighbours, And evil in their heart. 
19O 028:004 Give to them according to their acting, And according to  the evil of their doings. According to the work of their hands  give to them. Return their deed to them. 
19O 028:005 For they attend not to the doing of Jehovah, And unto the  work of His hands. He throweth them down, And doth not build  them up. 
19O 028:006 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath heard the voice of my  supplications. 
19O 028:007 Jehovah [is] my strength, and my shield, In Him my heart  trusted, and I have been helped. And my heart exulteth, And  with my song I thank Him. 
19O 028:008 Jehovah [is] strength to him, Yea, the strength of the  salvation of His anointed [is] He. 
19O 028:009 Save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, And feed  them, and carry them to the age! 
19O 029:001 A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Jehovah, ye sons of the  mighty, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength. 
19O 029:002 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Bow yourselves  to Jehovah, In the beauty of holiness. 
19O 029:003 The voice of Jehovah [is] on the waters, The God of glory  hath thundered, Jehovah [is] on many waters. 
19O 029:004 The voice of Jehovah [is] with power, The voice of Jehovah  [is] with majesty, 
19O 029:005 The voice of Jehovah [is] shivering cedars, Yea, Jehovah  shivers the cedars of Lebanon. 
19O 029:006 And He causeth them to skip as a calf, Lebanon and Sirion  as a son of Reems, 
19O 029:007 The voice of Jehovah is hewing fiery flames, 
19O 029:008 The voice of Jehovah paineth a wilderness, Jehovah paineth  the wilderness of Kadesh. 
19O 029:009 The voice of Jehovah paineth the oaks, And maketh bare the  forests, And in His temple every one saith, `Glory.' 
19O 029:010 Jehovah on the deluge hath sat, And Jehovah sitteth king  -- to the age, 
19O 029:011 Jehovah strength to his people giveth, Jehovah blesseth  His people with peace! 
19O 030:001 A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David.  I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast  not let mine enemies rejoice over me. 
19O 030:002 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal  me. 
19O 030:003 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast  kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. 
19O 030:004 Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at  the remembrance of His holiness, 
19O 030:005 For -- a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His  good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing. 
19O 030:006 And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to  the age. 
19O 030:007 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength  to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have  been troubled. 
19O 030:008 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make  supplication. 
19O 030:009 `What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto  corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth? 
19O 030:010 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to  me.' 
19O 030:011 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast  loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy. 
19O 030:012 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O  Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee! 
19O 031:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I  have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy  righteousness deliver me. 
19O 031:002 Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for  a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me. 
19O 031:003 For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake  lead me and tend me. 
19O 031:004 Bring me out from the net that they hid for me, For Thou  [art] my strength. 
19O 031:005 Into Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me,  Jehovah God of truth. 
19O 031:006 I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward  Jehovah have been confident. 
19O 031:007 I rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast  seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul. 
19O 031:008 And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy,  Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place. 
19O 031:009 Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my  soul, and my body Have become old by provocation. 
19O 031:010 For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in  sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength,  And my bones have become old. 
19O 031:011 Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to  my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances,  Those seeing me without -- fled from me. 
19O 031:012 I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as  a perishing vessel. 
19O 031:013 For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round  about. In their being united against me, To take my life they  have devised, 
19O 031:014 And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said,  `Thou [art] my God.' 
19O 031:015 In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my  enemies, And from my pursuers. 
19O 031:016 Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy  kindness. 
19O 031:017 O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee,  let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. 
19O 031:018 Let lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking  against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt. 
19O 031:019 How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for  those fearing Thee, 
19O 031:020 Thou hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons  of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence,  From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle,  From the strife of tongues. 
19O 031:021 Blessed [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His  kindness To me in a city of bulwarks. 
19O 031:022 And I -- I have said in my haste, `I have been cut off  from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my  supplications, In my crying unto Thee. 
19O 031:023 Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the  faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer. 
19O 031:024 Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are  waiting for Jehovah! 
19O 032:001 By David. -- An Instruction. O the happiness of him whose  transgression [is] forgiven, Whose sin is covered. 
19O 032:002 O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not  iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. 
19O 032:003 When I have kept silence, become old have my bones, Through  my roaring all the day. 
19O 032:004 When by day and by night Thy hand is heavy upon me, My  moisture hath been changed Into the droughts of summer. Selah. 
19O 032:005 My sin I cause Thee to know, And mine iniquity I have not  covered. I have said, `I confess concerning My transgressions  to Jehovah,' And Thou -- Thou hast taken away, The iniquity of  my sin. Selah. 
19O 032:006 For this doth every saintly one pray to Thee, As the time  to find. Surely at an overflowing of many waters, Unto him they  come not. 
19O 032:007 Thou [art] a hiding-place for me, From distress Thou dost  keep me, [With] songs of deliverance dost compass me. Selah. 
19O 032:008 I cause thee to act wisely, And direct thee in the way that  thou goest, I cause mine eye to take counsel concerning thee. 
19O 032:009 Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding,  With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near  unto thee. 
19O 032:010 Many [are] the pains of the wicked; As to him who is  trusting in Jehovah, Kindness doth compass him. 
19O 032:011 Be glad in Jehovah, and rejoice, ye righteous, And sing,  all ye upright of heart! 
19O 033:001 Sing, ye righteous, in Jehovah, For upright ones praise  [is] comely. 
19O 033:002 Give ye thanks to Jehovah with a harp, With psaltery of ten  strings sing praise to Him, 
19O 033:003 Sing ye to Him a new song, Play skilfully with shouting. 
19O 033:004 For upright [is] the word of Jehovah, And all His work [is]  in faithfulness. 
19O 033:005 Loving righteousness and judgment, Of the kindness of  Jehovah is the earth full. 
19O 033:006 By the word of Jehovah The heavens have been made, And by  the breath of His mouth all their host. 
19O 033:007 Gathering as a heap the waters of the sea, Putting in  treasuries the depths. 
19O 033:008 Afraid of Jehovah are all the earth, Of Him are all the  inhabitants of the world afraid. 
19O 033:009 For He hath said, and it is, He hath commanded, and it  standeth. 
19O 033:010 Jehovah made void the counsel of nations, He disallowed  the thoughts of the peoples. 
19O 033:011 The counsel of Jehovah to the age standeth, The thoughts  of His heart to all generations. 
19O 033:012 O the happiness of the nation whose God [is] Jehovah, Of  the people He did choose, For an inheritance to Him. 
19O 033:013 From the heavens hath Jehovah looked, He hath seen all the  sons of men. 
19O 033:014 From the fixed place of His dwelling, He looked unto all  inhabitants of the earth; 
19O 033:015 Who is forming their hearts together, Who is attending  unto all their works. 
19O 033:016 The king is not saved by the multitude of a force. A  mighty man is not delivered, By abundance of power. 
19O 033:017 A false thing [is] the horse for safety, And by the  abundance of his strength He doth not deliver. 
19O 033:018 Lo, the eye of Jehovah [is] to those fearing Him, To those  waiting for His kindness, 
19O 033:019 To deliver from death their soul, And to keep them alive  in famine. 
19O 033:020 Our soul hath waited for Jehovah, Our help and our shield  [is] He, 
19O 033:021 For in Him doth our heart rejoice, For in His holy name we  have trusted. 
19O 033:022 Let Thy kindness, O Jehovah, be upon us, As we have waited  for Thee! 
19O 034:001 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech,  and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at  all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth. 
19O 034:002 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble  and rejoice. 
19O 034:003 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His  name together. 
19O 034:004 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears  did deliver me. 
19O 034:005 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright,  And their faces are not ashamed. 
19O 034:006 This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his  distresses saved him. 
19O 034:007 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who  fear Him, And He armeth them. 
19O 034:008 Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of  the man who trusteth in Him. 
19O 034:009 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to  those fearing Him. 
19O 034:010 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking  Jehovah lack not any good, 
19O 034:011 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do  teach you. 
19O 034:012 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see  good? 
19O 034:013 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking  deceit. 
19O 034:014 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue  it. 
19O 034:015 The eyes of Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears  unto their cry. 
19O 034:016 (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off  from earth their memorial.) 
19O 034:017 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their  distresses delivered them. 
19O 034:018 Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised  of spirit He saveth. 
19O 034:019 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all  doth Jehovah deliver him. 
19O 034:020 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been  broken. 
19O 034:021 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the  righteous are desolate. 
19O 034:022 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none  trusting in Him are desolate! 
19O 035:001 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my  fighters, 
19O 035:002 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help, 
19O 035:003 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to  my soul, `Thy salvation I [am].' 
19O 035:004 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned  backward and confounded, Those devising my evil. 
19O 035:005 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah  driving away. 
19O 035:006 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of  Jehovah their pursuer. 
19O 035:007 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without  cause they digged for my soul. 
19O 035:008 Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net  that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it. 
19O 035:009 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His  salvation. 
19O 035:010 All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering  the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from  his plunderer.' 
19O 035:011 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known  they ask me. 
19O 035:012 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul, 
19O 035:013 And I -- in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I  have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom  returneth. 
19O 035:014 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually,  As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down. 
19O 035:015 And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been  gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I  have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased; 
19O 035:016 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me  their teeth. 
19O 035:017 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from  their desolations, From young lions my only one. 
19O 035:018 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I  praise Thee. 
19O 035:019 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those  hating me without cause wink the eye. 
19O 035:020 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the  land, Deceitful words they devise, 
19O 035:021 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha,  aha, our eye hath seen.' 
19O 035:022 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not  far from me, 
19O 035:023 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to  my plea. 
19O 035:024 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God,  And they do not rejoice over me. 
19O 035:025 They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do  not say, `We swallowed him up.' 
19O 035:026 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are  rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are  magnifying themselves against me. 
19O 035:027 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness,  And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is  desiring the peace of His servant.' 
19O 035:028 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy  praise! 
19O 036:001 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The  transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear  of God is not before his eyes, 
19O 036:002 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his  iniquity to be hated. 
19O 036:003 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased  to act prudently -- to do good. 
19O 036:004 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a  way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.' 
19O 036:005 O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy  faithfulness [is] unto the clouds. 
19O 036:006 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments  [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah. 
19O 036:007 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men  In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. 
19O 036:008 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the  stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink. 
19O 036:009 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see  light. 
19O 036:010 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy  righteousness to the upright of heart. 
19O 036:011 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked  let not move me. 
19O 036:012 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been  overthrown, And have not been able to arise! 
19O 037:001 By David. Do not fret because of evil doers, Be not envious  against doers of iniquity, 
19O 037:002 For as grass speedily they are cut off, And as the  greenness of the tender grass do fade. 
19O 037:003 Trust in Jehovah, and do good, Dwell [in] the land, and  enjoy faithfulness, 
19O 037:004 And delight thyself on Jehovah, And He giveth to thee the  petitions of thy heart. 
19O 037:005 Roll on Jehovah thy way, And trust upon Him, and He  worketh, 
19O 037:006 And hath brought out as light thy righteousness, And thy  judgment as noon-day. 
19O 037:007 Be silent for Jehovah, and stay thyself for Him, Do not  fret because of him Who is making prosperous his way, Because  of a man doing wicked devices. 
19O 037:008 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only  to do evil. 
19O 037:009 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah,  they possess the land. 
19O 037:010 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast  considered his place, and it is not. 
19O 037:011 And the humble do possess the land, And they have  delighted themselves In the abundance of peace. 
19O 037:012 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing  against him his teeth. 
19O 037:013 The Lord doth laugh at him, For He hath seen that his day  cometh. 
19O 037:014 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden  their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter  the upright of the way. 
19O 037:015 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their  bows are shivered. 
19O 037:016 Better [is] the little of the righteous, Than the store of  many wicked. 
19O 037:017 For the arms of the wicked are shivered, And Jehovah is  sustaining the righteous. 
19O 037:018 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect, And their  inheritance is -- to the age. 
19O 037:019 They are not ashamed in a time of evil, And in days of  famine they are satisfied. 
19O 037:020 But the wicked perish, and the enemies of Jehovah, As the  preciousness of lambs, Have been consumed, In smoke they have  been consumed. 
19O 037:021 The wicked is borrowing and repayeth not, And the  righteous is gracious and giving. 
19O 037:022 For His blessed ones do possess the land, And His reviled  ones are cut off. 
19O 037:023 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, They have been  prepared, And his way he desireth. 
19O 037:024 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For Jehovah is  sustaining his hand. 
19O 037:025 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not  seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread. 
19O 037:026 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is]  for a blessing. 
19O 037:027 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age. 
19O 037:028 For Jehovah is loving judgment, And He doth not forsake  His saintly ones, To the age they have been kept, And the seed  of the wicked is cut off. 
19O 037:029 The righteous possess the land, And they dwell for ever on  it. 
19O 037:030 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And his tongue  speaketh judgment. 
19O 037:031 The law of his God [is] his heart, His steps do not slide. 
19O 037:032 The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking  to put him to death. 
19O 037:033 Jehovah doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in  his being judged. 
19O 037:034 Look unto Jehovah, and keep His way, And He doth exalt  thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou  seest! 
19O 037:035 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green  native plant, 
19O 037:036 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him,  and he is not found! 
19O 037:037 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter  end of each [is] peace. 
19O 037:038 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end  of the wicked was cut off. 
19O 037:039 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from Jehovah,  Their strong place in a time of adversity. 
19O 037:040 And Jehovah doth help them and deliver them, He delivereth  them from the wicked, And saveth them, Because they trusted in  Him! 
19O 038:001 A Psalm of David, `To cause to remember.' Jehovah, in Thy  wrath reprove me not, Nor in Thy fury chastise me. 
19O 038:002 For Thine arrows have come down on me, And Thou lettest  down upon me Thy hand. 
19O 038:003 Soundness is not in my flesh, Because of Thine indignation,  Peace is not in my bones because of my sin. 
19O 038:004 For mine iniquities have passed over my head, As a heavy  burden -- too heavy for me. 
19O 038:005 Stunk -- become corrupt have my wounds, Because of my  folly. 
19O 038:006 I have been bent down, I have been bowed down -- unto  excess, All the day I have gone mourning. 
19O 038:007 For my flanks have been full of drought, And soundness is  not in my flesh. 
19O 038:008 I have been feeble and smitten -- unto excess, I have  roared from disquietude of heart. 
19O 038:009 Lord, before Thee [is] all my desire, And my sighing from  Thee hath not been hid. 
19O 038:010 My heart [is] panting, my power hath forsaken me, And the  light of mine eyes, Even they are not with me. 
19O 038:011 My lovers and my friends over-against my plague stand. And  my neighbours afar off have stood. 
19O 038:012 And those seeking my soul lay a snare, And those seeking  my evil Have spoken mischievous things, And they do deceits  meditate all the day. 
19O 038:013 And I, as deaf, hear not. And as a dumb one who openeth  not his mouth. 
19O 038:014 Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are  no reproofs. 
19O 038:015 Because for Thee, O Jehovah, I have waited, Thou dost  answer, O Lord my God. 
19O 038:016 When I said, `Lest they rejoice over me, In the slipping  of my foot against me they magnified themselves. 
19O 038:017 For I am ready to halt, And my pain [is] before me  continually. 
19O 038:018 For mine iniquity I declare, I am sorry for my sin. 
19O 038:019 And mine enemies [are] lively, They have been strong, and  those hating me without cause, Have been multiplied. 
19O 038:020 And those paying evil for good accuse me, Because of my  pursuing good. 
19O 038:021 Do not forsake me, O Jehovah, My God, be not far from me, 
19O 038:022 Haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation! 
19O 039:001 To the Overseer, to Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. I have  said, `I observe my ways, Against sinning with my tongue, I  keep for my mouth a curb, while the wicked [is] before me.' 
19O 039:002 I was dumb [with] silence, I kept silent from good, and my  pain is excited. 
19O 039:003 Hot [is] my heart within me, In my meditating doth the fire  burn, I have spoken with my tongue. 
19O 039:004 `Cause me to know, O Jehovah, mine end, And the measure of  my days -- what it [is],' I know how frail I [am]. 
19O 039:005 Lo, handbreadths Thou hast made my days, And mine age [is]  as nothing before Thee, Only, all vanity [is] every man set up.  Selah. 
19O 039:006 Only, in an image doth each walk habitually, Only, [in]  vain, they are disquieted, He heapeth up and knoweth not who  gathereth them. 
19O 039:007 And, now, what have I expected? O Lord, my hope -- it [is]  of Thee. 
19O 039:008 From all my transgressions deliver me, A reproach of the  fool make me not. 
19O 039:009 I have been dumb, I open not my mouth, Because Thou -- Thou  hast done [it]. 
19O 039:010 Turn aside from off me Thy stroke, From the striving of  Thy hand I have been consumed. 
19O 039:011 With reproofs against iniquity, Thou hast corrected man,  And dost waste as a moth his desirableness, Only, vanity [is]  every man. Selah. 
19O 039:012 Hear my prayer, O Jehovah, And [to] my cry give ear, Unto  my tear be not silent, For a sojourner I [am] with Thee, A  settler like all my fathers. 
19O 039:013 Look from me, and I brighten up before I go and am not! 
19O 040:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently  expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry, 
19O 040:002 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation --  from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is  establishing my steps. 
19O 040:003 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, `Praise to our God.'  Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah. 
19O 040:004 O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust,  And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to  lies. 
19O 040:005 Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy  thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I  declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered. 
19O 040:006 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast  prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked. 
19O 040:007 Then said I, `Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it  is written of me, 
19O 040:008 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law  [is] within my heart. 
19O 040:009 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great  assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast  known. 
19O 040:010 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my  heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have  not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly. 
19O 040:011 Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy  kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me. 
19O 040:012 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have  mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have  been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken  me. 
19O 040:013 Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my  help make haste. 
19O 040:014 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking  my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are  ashamed, who are desiring my evil. 
19O 040:015 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying  to me, `Aha, aha.' 
19O 040:016 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those  loving Thy salvation say continually, `Jehovah is magnified.' 
19O 040:017 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My  help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not. 
19O 041:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O the happiness of  him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth  Jehovah deliver him. 
19O 041:002 Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in  the land, And Thou givest him not into the will of his enemies. 
19O 041:003 Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou  hast turned in his weakness. 
19O 041:004 I -- I said, `O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did  sin against Thee,' 
19O 041:005 Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth -- his name hath  perished! 
19O 041:006 And if he came to see -- vanity he speaketh, His heart  gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out -- at the street he  speaketh. 
19O 041:007 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they  devise evil to me: 
19O 041:008 A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay  down he riseth not again. 
19O 041:009 Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread,  made great the heel against me, 
19O 041:010 And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I  give recompence to them. 
19O 041:011 By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me,  Because my enemy shouteth not over me. 
19O 041:012 As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me,  And causest me to stand before Thee to the age. 
19O 041:013 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age -- and  unto the age. Amen and Amen. 
19O 042:001 To the Overseer. -- An Instruction. By sons of Korah. As a  hart doth pant for streams of water, So my soul panteth toward  Thee, O God. 
19O 042:002 My soul thirsted for God, for the living God, When do I  enter and see the face of God? 
19O 042:003 My tear hath been to me bread day and night, In their  saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?' 
19O 042:004 These I remember, and pour out my soul in me, For I pass  over into the booth, I go softly with them unto the house of  God, With the voice of singing and confession, The multitude  keeping feast! 
19O 042:005 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? Yea, art thou  troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him: The  salvation of my countenance -- My God! 
19O 042:006 In me doth my soul bow itself, Therefore I remember Thee  from the land of Jordan, And of the Hermons, from the hill  Mizar. 
19O 042:007 Deep unto deep is calling At the noise of Thy  water-spouts, All Thy breakers and Thy billows passed over me. 
19O 042:008 By day Jehovah commandeth His kindness, And by night a song  [is] with me, A prayer to the God of my life. 
19O 042:009 I say to God my rock, `Why hast Thou forgotten me? Why go I  mourning in the oppression of an enemy? 
19O 042:010 With a sword in my bones Have mine adversaries reproached  me, In their saying unto me all the day, `Where [is] thy God?' 
19O 042:011 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou  troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The  salvation of my countenance, and my God! 
19O 043:001 Judge me, O God, And plead my cause against a nation not  pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver  me, 
19O 043:002 For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast  me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of  an enemy? 
19O 043:003 Send forth Thy light and Thy truth, They -- they lead me,  they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto Thy tabernacles. 
19O 043:004 And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my  rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a harp, O God, my God. 
19O 043:005 What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou  troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The  salvation of my countenance, and my God! 
19O 044:001 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O  God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to  us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old. 
19O 044:002 Thou, [with] Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou  dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them  away. 
19O 044:003 For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their  arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine  arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst  accepted them. 
19O 044:004 Thou [art] He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of  Jacob. 
19O 044:005 By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down  our withstanders, 
19O 044:006 For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save  me. 
19O 044:007 For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those  hating us Thou hast put to shame. 
19O 044:008 In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age  we thank. Selah. 
19O 044:009 In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And  goest not forth with our hosts. 
19O 044:010 Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And  those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves. 
19O 044:011 Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou  hast scattered us. 
19O 044:012 Thou sellest Thy people -- without wealth, And hast not  become great by their price. 
19O 044:013 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a  reproach to our surrounders. 
19O 044:014 Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the  head among peoples. 
19O 044:015 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of  my face hath covered me. 
19O 044:016 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because  of an enemy and a self-avenger. 
19O 044:017 All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we  dealt falsely in Thy covenant. 
19O 044:018 We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our  step from Thy path. 
19O 044:019 But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost  cover us over with death-shade. 
19O 044:020 If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our  hands to a strange God, 
19O 044:021 Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets  of the heart. 
19O 044:022 Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day,  Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter. 
19O 044:023 Stir up -- why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not  off for ever. 
19O 044:024 Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions  and our oppression, 
19O 044:025 For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth  hath our belly. 
19O 044:026 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for thy kindness' sake. 
19O 045:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.' -- By sons of Korah.  -- An Instruction. -- A song of loves. My heart hath indited a  good thing, I am telling my works to a king, My tongue [is] the  pen of a speedy writer. 
19O 045:002 Thou hast been beautified above the sons of men, Grace hath  been poured into thy lips, Therefore hath God blessed thee to  the age. 
19O 045:003 Gird Thy sword upon the thigh, O mighty, Thy glory and Thy  majesty! 
19O 045:004 As to Thy majesty -- prosper! -- ride! Because of truth,  and meekness -- righteousness, And Thy right hand showeth Thee  fearful things. 
19O 045:005 Thine arrows [are] sharp, -- Peoples fall under Thee -- In  the heart of the enemies of the king. 
19O 045:006 Thy throne, O God, [is] age-during, and for ever, A sceptre  of uprightness [Is] the sceptre of Thy kingdom. 
19O 045:007 Thou hast loved righteousness and hatest wickedness,  Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee, Oil of joy above  thy companions. 
19O 045:008 Myrrh and aloes, cassia! all thy garments, Out of palaces  of ivory Stringed instruments have made thee glad. 
19O 045:009 Daughters of kings [are] among thy precious ones, A queen  hath stood at thy right hand, In pure gold of Ophir. 
19O 045:010 Hearken, O daughter, and see, incline thine ear, And  forget thy people, and thy father's house, 
19O 045:011 And the king doth desire thy beauty, Because he [is] thy  lord -- bow thyself to him, 
19O 045:012 And the daughter of Tyre with a present, The rich of the  people do appease thy face. 
19O 045:013 All glory [is] the daughter of the king within, Of  gold-embroidered work [is] her clothing. 
19O 045:014 In divers colours she is brought to the king, Virgins --  after her -- her companions, Are brought to thee. 
19O 045:015 They are brought with joy and gladness, They come into the  palace of the king. 
19O 045:016 Instead of thy fathers are thy sons, Thou dost appoint  them for princes in all the earth. 
19O 045:017 I make mention of Thy name in all generations, Therefore  do peoples praise Thee, To the age, and for ever! 
19O 046:001 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. `For the Virgins.' --  A song. God [is] to us a refuge and strength, A help in  adversities found most surely. 
19O 046:002 Therefore we fear not in the changing of earth, And in the  slipping of mountains Into the heart of the seas. 
19O 046:003 Roar -- troubled are its waters, Mountains they shake in  its pride. Selah. 
19O 046:004 A river -- its rivulets rejoice the city of God, Thy holy  place of the tabernacles of the Most High. 
19O 046:005 God [is] in her midst -- she is not moved, God doth help  her at the turn of the morn! 
19O 046:006 Troubled have been nations, Moved have been kingdoms, He  hath given forth with His voice, earth melteth. 
19O 046:007 Jehovah of Hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God  of Jacob. Selah. 
19O 046:008 Come ye, see the works of Jehovah, Who hath done  astonishing things in the earth, 
19O 046:009 Causing wars to cease, Unto the end of the earth, the bow  he shivereth, And the spear He hath cut asunder, Chariots he  doth burn with fire. 
19O 046:010 Desist, and know that I [am] God, I am exalted among  nations, I am exalted in the earth. 
19O 046:011 Jehovah of hosts [is] with us, A tower for us [is] the God  of Jacob! Selah. 
19O 047:001 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. All ye  peoples, clap the hand, Shout to God with a voice of singing, 
19O 047:002 For Jehovah Most High [is] fearful, A great king over all  the earth. 
19O 047:003 He leadeth peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 
19O 047:004 He doth choose for us our inheritance, The excellency of  Jacob that He loves. Selah. 
19O 047:005 God hath gone up with a shout, Jehovah with the sound of a  trumpet. 
19O 047:006 Praise God -- praise -- give praise to our king, praise. 
19O 047:007 For king of all the earth [is] God, Give praise, O  understanding one. 
19O 047:008 God hath reigned over nations, God hath sat on His holy  throne, 
19O 047:009 Nobles of peoples have been gathered, [With] the people of  the God of Abraham, For to God [are] the shields of earth,  Greatly hath He been exalted! 
19O 048:001 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah. Great [is] Jehovah, and  praised greatly, In the city of our God -- His holy hill. 
19O 048:002 Beautiful [for] elevation, A joy of all the land, [is]  Mount Zion, The sides of the north, the city of a great king. 
19O 048:003 God in her high places is known for a tower. 
19O 048:004 For, lo, the kings met, they passed by together, 
19O 048:005 They have seen -- so they have marvelled, They have been  troubled, they were hastened away. 
19O 048:006 Trembling hath seized them there, Pain, as of a travailing  woman. 
19O 048:007 By an east wind Thou shiverest ships of Tarshish. 
19O 048:008 As we have heard, so we have seen, In the city of Jehovah  of hosts, In the city of our God, God doth establish her -- to  the age. Selah. 
19O 048:009 We have thought, O God, of Thy kindness, In the midst of  Thy temple, 
19O 048:010 As [is] Thy name, O God, so [is] Thy praise, Over the ends  of the earth, Righteousness hath filled Thy right hand. 
19O 048:011 Rejoice doth Mount Zion, The daughters of Judah are  joyful, For the sake of Thy judgments. 
19O 048:012 Compass Zion, and go round her, count her towers, 
19O 048:013 Set your heart to her bulwark, Consider her high places,  So that ye recount to a later generation, 
19O 048:014 That this God [is] our God -- To the age and for ever, He  -- he doth lead us over death! 
19O 049:001 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Hear this,  all ye peoples, Give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world. 
19O 049:002 Both low and high, together rich and needy. 
19O 049:003 My mouth speaketh wise things, And the meditations of my  heart [are] things of understanding. 
19O 049:004 I incline to a simile mine ear, I open with a harp my  riddle: 
19O 049:005 Why do I fear in days of evil? The iniquity of my  supplanters doth compass me. 
19O 049:006 Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of  their riches, Do shew themselves foolish. 
19O 049:007 A brother doth no one at all ransom, He doth not give to  God his atonement. 
19O 049:008 And precious [is] the redemption of their soul, And it hath  ceased -- to the age. 
19O 049:009 And still he liveth for ever, He seeth not the pit. 
19O 049:010 For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and  brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth. 
19O 049:011 Their heart [is]: Their houses [are] to the age, Their  tabernacles to all generations. They proclaimed their names  over the lands. 
19O 049:012 And man in honour doth not remain, He hath been like the  beasts, they have been cut off. 
19O 049:013 This their way [is] folly for them, And their posterity  with their sayings are pleased. Selah. 
19O 049:014 As sheep for Sheol they have set themselves, Death doth  afflict them, And the upright rule over them in the morning,  And their form [is] for consumption. Sheol [is] a dwelling for  him. 
19O 049:015 Only, God doth ransom my soul from the hand of Sheol, For  He doth receive me. Selah. 
19O 049:016 Fear not, when one maketh wealth, When the honour of his  house is abundant, 
19O 049:017 For at his death he receiveth nothing, His honour goeth  not down after him. 
19O 049:018 For his soul in his life he blesseth, (And they praise  thee when thou dost well for thyself.) 
19O 049:019 It cometh to the generation of his fathers, For ever they  see not the light. 
19O 049:020 Man in honour, who understandest not, Hath been like the  beasts, they have been cut off! 
19O 050:001 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods -- Jehovah -- hath  spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun  unto its going in. 
19O 050:002 From Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shone. 
19O 050:003 Our God cometh, and is not silent, Fire before Him doth  devour, And round about him it hath been very tempestuous. 
19O 050:004 He doth call unto the heavens from above, And unto the  earth, to judge His people. 
19O 050:005 Gather ye to Me My saints, Making covenant with Me over a  sacrifice. 
19O 050:006 And the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself  [is] judge. Selah. 
19O 050:007 Hear, O My people, and I speak, O Israel, and I testify  against thee, God, thy God [am] I. 
19O 050:008 Not for thy sacrifices do I reprove thee, Yea, thy  burnt-offerings [Are] before Me continually. 
19O 050:009 I take not from thy house a bullock, From thy folds  he goats. 
19O 050:010 For Mine [is] every beast of the forest, The cattle on the  hills of oxen. 
19O 050:011 I have known every fowl of the mountains, And the wild  beast of the field [is] with Me. 
19O 050:012 If I am hungry I tell not to thee, For Mine [is] the world  and its fulness. 
19O 050:013 Do I eat the flesh of bulls, And drink the blood of  he-goats? 
19O 050:014 Sacrifice to God confession, And complete to the Most High  thy vows. 
19O 050:015 And call Me in a day of adversity, I deliver thee, and  thou honourest Me. 
19O 050:016 And to the wicked hath God said: What to thee -- to  recount My statutes? That thou liftest up My covenant on thy  mouth? 
19O 050:017 Yea, thou hast hated instruction, And dost cast My words  behind thee. 
19O 050:018 If thou hast seen a thief, Then thou art pleased with him,  And with adulterers [is] thy portion. 
19O 050:019 Thy mouth thou hast sent forth with evil, And thy tongue  joineth deceit together, 
19O 050:020 Thou sittest, against thy brother thou speakest, Against a  son of thy mother givest slander. 
19O 050:021 These thou didst, and I kept silent, Thou hast thought  that I am like thee, I reprove thee, and set in array before  thine eyes. 
19O 050:022 Understand this, I pray you, Ye who are forgetting God,  Lest I tear, and there is no deliverer. 
19O 050:023 He who is sacrificing praise honoureth Me, As to him who  maketh a way, I cause him to look on the salvation of God! 
19O 051:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David, in the coming inn  unto him of Nathan the prophet, when he hath gone in unto  Bath-Sheba. Favour me, O God, according to Thy kindness,  According to the abundance of Thy mercies, Blot out my  transgressions. 
19O 051:002 Thoroughly wash me from mine iniquity, And from my sin  cleanse me, 
19O 051:003 For my transgressions I do know, And my sin [is] before me  continually. 
19O 051:004 Against Thee, Thee only, I have sinned, And done the evil  thing in Thine eyes, So that Thou art righteous in Thy words,  Thou art pure in Thy judging. 
19O 051:005 Lo, in iniquity I have been brought forth, And in sin doth  my mother conceive me. 
19O 051:006 Lo, truth Thou hast desired in the inward parts, And in the  hidden part Wisdom Thou causest me to know. 
19O 051:007 Thou cleansest me with hyssop and I am clean, Washest me,  and than snow I am whiter. 
19O 051:008 Thou causest me to hear joy and gladness, Thou makest  joyful bones Thou hast bruised. 
19O 051:009 Hide Thy face from my sin. And all mine iniquities blot  out. 
19O 051:010 A clean heart prepare for me, O God, And a right spirit  renew within me. 
19O 051:011 Cast me not forth from Thy presence, And Thy Holy Spirit  take not from me. 
19O 051:012 Restore to me the joy of Thy salvation, And a willing  spirit doth sustain me. 
19O 051:013 I teach transgressors Thy ways, And sinners unto Thee do  return. 
19O 051:014 Deliver me from blood, O God, God of my salvation, My  tongue singeth of Thy righteousness. 
19O 051:015 O Lord, my lips thou dost open, And my mouth declareth Thy  praise. 
19O 051:016 For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give [it],  Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not. 
19O 051:017 The sacrifices of God [are] a broken spirit, A heart  broken and bruised, O God, Thou dost not despise. 
19O 051:018 Do good in Thy good pleasure with Zion, Thou dost build  the walls of Jerusalem. 
19O 051:019 Then Thou desirest sacrifices of righteousness,  Burnt-offering, and whole burnt-offering, Then they offer  bullocks on thine altar! 
19O 052:001 To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming  in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to  him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What,  boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is]  all the day. 
19O 052:002 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor,  working deceit. 
19O 052:003 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking  righteousness. Selah. 
19O 052:004 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful  tongue. 
19O 052:005 Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and  pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of  the land of the living. Selah. 
19O 052:006 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him. 
19O 052:007 `Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And  trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his  mischiefs.' 
19O 052:008 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted  in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever, 
19O 052:009 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I  wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints! 
19O 053:001 To the Overseer. -- `On a disease.' -- An instruction, by  David. A fool said in his heart, `There is no God.' They have  done corruptly, Yea, they have done abominable iniquity, There  is none doing good. 
19O 053:002 God from the heavens looked on the sons of men, To see if  there be an understanding one, [One] seeking God. 
19O 053:003 Every one went back, together they became filthy, There is  none doing good -- not even one. 
19O 053:004 Have not workers of iniquity known, Those eating my people  have eaten bread, God they have not called. 
19O 053:005 There they feared a fear -- there was no fear, For God hath  scattered the bones of him Who is encamping against thee, Thou  hast put to shame, For God hath despised them. 
19O 053:006 Who doth give from Zion the salvation of Israel? When God  turneth back [to] a captivity of His people, Jacob doth rejoice  -- Israel is glad! 
19O 054:001 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An  instruction, by David, in the coming in of the Ziphim, and they  say to Saul, `Is not David hiding himself with us?' O God, by  Thy name save me, and by Thy might judge me. 
19O 054:002 O God, hear my prayer, Give ear to the sayings of my mouth, 
19O 054:003 For strangers have risen up against me And terrible ones  have sought my soul, They have not set God before them. Selah. 
19O 054:004 Lo, God [is] a helper to me, The Lord [is] with those  supporting my soul, 
19O 054:005 Turn back doth the evil thing to mine enemies, In Thy truth  cut them off. 
19O 054:006 With a free will-offering I sacrifice to Thee, I thank Thy  name, O Jehovah, for [it is] good, 
19O 054:007 For, from all adversity He delivered me, And on mine  enemies hath mine eye looked! 
19O 055:001 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An  instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And  hide not from my supplication. 
19O 055:002 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and  make a noise, 
19O 055:003 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression  of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in  anger they hate me. 
19O 055:004 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have  fallen on me. 
19O 055:005 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me. 
19O 055:006 And I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly  away and rest, 
19O 055:007 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah. 
19O 055:008 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a  whirlwind. 
19O 055:009 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence  and strife in a city. 
19O 055:010 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both  iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst, 
19O 055:011 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not  from its street. 
19O 055:012 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is  hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from  him. 
19O 055:013 But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and  mine acquaintance. 
19O 055:014 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we  walk in company. 
19O 055:015 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol --  alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. 
19O 055:016 I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me. 
19O 055:017 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a  noise, and He heareth my voice, 
19O 055:018 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to  me, For with the multitude they were with me. 
19O 055:019 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old.  Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God, 
19O 055:020 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He  hath polluted his covenant. 
19O 055:021 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is]  war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn  [swords]. 
19O 055:022 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth  sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the  righteous. 
19O 055:023 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of  destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their  days, And I -- I do trust in Thee! 
19O 056:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Dumb Dove far off.' -- A secret  treasure of David, in the Philistines' taking hold of him in  Gath. Favour me, O God, for man swallowed me up, All the day  fighting he oppresseth me, 
19O 056:002 Mine enemies have swallowed up all the day, For many [are]  fighting against me, O most High, 
19O 056:003 The day I am afraid I am confident toward Thee. 
19O 056:004 In God I praise His word, in God I have trusted, I fear not  what flesh doth to me. 
19O 056:005 All the day they wrest my words, Concerning me all their  thoughts [are] for evil, 
19O 056:006 They assemble, they hide, they watch my heels, When they  have expected my soul. 
19O 056:007 By iniquity they escape, In anger the peoples put down, O  God. 
19O 056:008 My wandering Thou hast counted, Thou -- place Thou my tear  in Thy bottle, Are they not in Thy book? 
19O 056:009 Then turn back do mine enemies in the day I call. This I  have known, that God [is] for me. 
19O 056:010 In God I praise the word, In Jehovah I praise the word. 
19O 056:011 In God I trusted, I fear not what man doth to me, 
19O 056:012 On me, O God, [are] Thy vows, I repay thank-offerings to  Thee. 
19O 056:013 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, Dost Thou not  my feet from falling? To walk habitually before God in the  light of the living! 
19O 057:001 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure of  David, in his fleeing from the face of Saul into a cave. Favour  me, O God, favour me, For in Thee is my soul trusting, And in  the shadow of Thy wings I trust, Until the calamities pass  over. 
19O 057:002 I call to God Most High, To God [who] is perfecting for me. 
19O 057:003 He sendeth from the heaven, and saveth me, He reproached --  who is panting after me. Selah. God sendeth forth His kindness  and His truth. 
19O 057:004 My soul [is] in the midst of lions, I lie down [among]  flames -- sons of men, Their teeth [are] a spear and arrows,  And their tongue a sharp sword. 
19O 057:005 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, Above all the  earth Thine honour. 
19O 057:006 A net they have prepared for my steps, Bowed down hath my  soul, They have digged before me a pit, They have fallen into  its midst. Selah. 
19O 057:007 Prepared is my heart, O God, Prepared is my heart, I sing  and praise. 
19O 057:008 Awake, mine honour, awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the  morning dawn. 
19O 057:009 I thank Thee among the peoples, O Lord, I praise Thee among  the nations. 
19O 057:010 For great unto the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto the  clouds Thy truth. 
19O 057:011 Be thou exalted above the heavens, O God. Above all the  earth Thine honour! 
19O 058:001 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A secret treasure, by  David. Is it true, O dumb one, righteously ye speak? Uprightly  ye judge, O sons of men? 
19O 058:002 Even in heart ye work iniquities, In the land the violence  of your hands ye ponder. 
19O 058:003 The wicked have been estranged from the womb, They have  erred from the belly, speaking lies. 
19O 058:004 Their poison [is] as poison of a serpent, As a deaf asp  shutting its ear, 
19O 058:005 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of whisperers, A charmer  of charms most skilful. 
19O 058:006 O God, break their teeth in their mouth, The jaw-teeth of  young lions break down, O Jehovah. 
19O 058:007 They are melted as waters, They go up and down for  themselves, His arrow proceedeth as they cut themselves off. 
19O 058:008 As a snail that melteth he goeth on, [As] an untimely birth  of a woman, They have not seen the sun. 
19O 058:009 Before your pots discern the bramble, As well the raw as  the heated He whirleth away. 
19O 058:010 The righteous rejoiceth that he hath seen vengeance, His  steps he washeth in the blood of the wicked. 
19O 058:011 And man saith: `Surely fruit [is] for the righteous:  Surely there is a God judging in the earth!' 
19O 059:001 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not,' by David. -- A secret  treasure, in Saul's sending, and they watch the house to put  him to death. Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God, From my  withstanders set me on high. 
19O 059:002 Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood  save me. 
19O 059:003 For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me  are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah. 
19O 059:004 Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up  to meet me, and see. 
19O 059:005 And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to  inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of  iniquity. Selah. 
19O 059:006 They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog,  And go round about the city. 
19O 059:007 Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their  lips, for `Who heareth?' 
19O 059:008 And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at  all the nations. 
19O 059:009 O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower  -- the God of my kindness. 
19O 059:010 God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine  enemies. 
19O 059:011 Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy  strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield. 
19O 059:012 The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they  are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they  recount. 
19O 059:013 Consume in fury, consume and they are not, And they know  that God is ruling in Jacob, To the ends of the earth. Selah. 
19O 059:014 And they turn back at evening, They make a noise like a  dog, And they go round about the city. 
19O 059:015 They -- they wander for food, If they are not satisfied --  then they murmur. 
19O 059:016 And I -- I sing [of] Thy strength, And I sing at morn [of]  Thy kindness, For thou hast been a tower to me, And a refuge  for me in a day of adversity. 
19O 059:017 O my Strength, unto Thee I sing praise, For God [is] my  tower, the God of my kindness! 
19O 060:001 To the Overseer. -- `Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a  secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with  Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and  smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt -- twelve thousand. O God,  Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us -- hadst been  angry! -- Thou dost turn back to us. 
19O 060:002 Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it,  Heal its breaches, for it hath moved. 
19O 060:003 Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused  us to drink wine of trembling. 
19O 060:004 Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be  lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. Selah. 
19O 060:005 That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy  right hand, and answer us. 
19O 060:006 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult -- I apportion  Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, 
19O 060:007 Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is]  the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver, 
19O 060:008 Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe,  Shout, concerning me, O Philistia. 
19O 060:009 Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me  unto Edom? 
19O 060:010 Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost  Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts! 
19O 060:011 Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the  deliverance of man. 
19O 060:012 In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our  adversaries! 
19O 061:001 To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. -- By David.  Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer. 
19O 061:002 From the end of the land unto Thee I call, In the  feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost  lead me. 
19O 061:003 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength  because of the enemy. 
19O 061:004 I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret  place of Thy wings. Selah. 
19O 061:005 For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast  appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name. 
19O 061:006 Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as  generation and generation. 
19O 061:007 He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth  appoint -- they keep him. 
19O 061:008 So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by  day! 
19O 062:001 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of David. Only --  toward God [is] my soul silent, From Him [is] my salvation. 
19O 062:002 Only -- He [is] my rock, and my salvation, My tower, I am  not much moved. 
19O 062:003 Till when do ye devise mischief against a man? Ye are  destroyed all of you, As a wall inclined, a hedge that is cast  down. 
19O 062:004 Only -- from his excellency They have consulted to drive  away, They enjoy a lie, with their mouth they bless, And with  their heart revile. Selah. 
19O 062:005 Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him [is] my  hope. 
19O 062:006 Only -- He [is] my rock and my salvation, My tower, I am  not moved. 
19O 062:007 On God [is] my salvation, and my honour, The rock of my  strength, my refuge [is] in God. 
19O 062:008 Trust in Him at all times, O people, Pour forth before Him  your heart, God [is] a refuge for us. Selah. 
19O 062:009 Only -- vanity [are] the low, a lie the high. In balances  to go up they than vanity [are] lighter. 
19O 062:010 Trust not in oppression, And in robbery become not vain,  Wealth -- when it increaseth -- set not the heart. 
19O 062:011 Once hath God spoken, twice I heard this, That `strength  [is] with God.' 
19O 062:012 And with Thee, O Lord, [is] kindness, For Thou dost  recompense to each, According to his work! 
19O 063:001 A Psalm of David, in his being in the wilderness of Judah.  O God, Thou [art] my God, earnestly do I seek Thee, Thirsted  for Thee hath my soul, Longed for Thee hath my flesh, In a land  dry and weary, without waters. 
19O 063:002 So in the sanctuary I have seen Thee, To behold Thy  strength and Thine honour. 
19O 063:003 Because better [is] Thy kindness than life, My lips do  praise Thee. 
19O 063:004 So I bless Thee in my life, in Thy name I lift up my hands. 
19O 063:005 As [with] milk and fatness is my soul satisfied, And [with]  singing lips doth my mouth praise. 
19O 063:006 If I have remembered Thee on my couch, In the watches -- I  meditate on Thee. 
19O 063:007 For Thou hast been a help to me, And in the shadow of Thy  wings I sing. 
19O 063:008 Cleaved hath my soul after Thee, On me hath Thy right hand  taken hold. 
19O 063:009 And they who for desolation seek my soul, Go in to the  lower parts of the earth. 
19O 063:010 They cause him to run on the edge of the sword, A portion  for foxes they are. 
19O 063:011 And the king doth rejoice in God, Boast himself doth every  one swearing by Him, But stopped is the mouth of those speaking  lies! 
19O 064:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my  voice, in my meditation, From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest  my life, 
19O 064:002 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the  tumult of workers of iniquity. 
19O 064:003 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their  arrow -- a bitter word. 
19O 064:004 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot  him, and fear not. 
19O 064:005 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount  of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?' 
19O 064:006 They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching  search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep. 
19O 064:007 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been  their wounds, 
19O 064:008 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own  tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away. 
19O 064:009 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed  they have considered wisely. 
19O 064:010 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in  Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart! 
19O 065:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. A Song. To Thee,  silence -- praise, O God, [is] in Zion, And to Thee is a vow  completed. 
19O 065:002 Hearer of prayer, to Thee all flesh cometh. 
19O 065:003 Matters of iniquities were mightier than I, Our  transgressions -- Thou dost cover them. 
19O 065:004 O the happiness of [him whom] Thou choosest, And drawest  near, he inhabiteth Thy courts, We are satisfied with the  goodness of Thy house, Thy holy temple. 
19O 065:005 By fearful things in righteousness Thou answerest us, O God  of our salvation, The confidence of all far off ends of earth  and sea. 
19O 065:006 Establishing mountains by His power, He hath been girded  with might, 
19O 065:007 Restraining the noise of seas, the noise of their billows,  And the multitude of the peoples. 
19O 065:008 And the inhabitants of the uttermost parts From Thy signs  are afraid, The outgoings of morning and evening Thou causest  to sing. 
19O 065:009 Thou hast inspected the earth, and waterest it, Thou makest  it very rich, the rivulet of God [is] full of water, Thou  preparest their corn, When thus Thou dost prepare it, 
19O 065:010 Its ridges have been filled, Deepened hath been its  furrow, With showers Thou dost soften it, Its springing up Thou  blessest. 
19O 065:011 Thou hast crowned the year of Thy goodness, And Thy paths  drop fatness. 
19O 065:012 Drop do the pastures of a wilderness, And joy of the  heights Thou girdest on. 
19O 065:013 Clothed have lambs the flock, And valleys are covered with  corn, They shout -- yea, they sing! 
19O 066:001 To the Overseer. -- A Song, a Psalm. Shout ye to God, all  the earth. 
19O 066:002 Praise ye the honour of His name, Make ye honourable His  praise. 
19O 066:003 Say to God, `How fearful [are] Thy works, By the abundance  of Thy strength, Thine enemies feign obedience to Thee. 
19O 066:004 All the earth do bow to Thee, They sing praise to Thee,  they praise Thy name.' Selah. 
19O 066:005 Come ye, and see the works of God, Fearful acts toward the  sons of men. 
19O 066:006 He hath turned a sea to dry land, Through a river they pass  over on foot, There do we rejoice in Him. 
19O 066:007 Ruling by His might to the age, His eyes among the nations  do watch, The refractory exalt not themselves. Selah. 
19O 066:008 Bless, ye peoples, our God, And sound the voice of His  praise, 
19O 066:009 Who hath placed our soul in life, And suffered not our feet  to be moved. 
19O 066:010 For Thou hast tried us, O God, Thou hast refined us as the  refining of silver. 
19O 066:011 Thou hast brought us into a net, Thou hast placed pressure  on our loins. 
19O 066:012 Thou hast caused man to ride at our head. We have entered  into fire and into water, And Thou bringest us out to a watered  place. 
19O 066:013 I enter Thy house with burnt-offerings, I complete to Thee  my vows, 
19O 066:014 For opened were my lips, And my mouth spake in my  distress: 
19O 066:015 `Burnt-offerings of fatlings I offer to Thee, With perfume  of rams, I prepare a bullock with he-goats.' Selah. 
19O 066:016 Come, hear, all ye who fear God, And I recount what he did  for my soul. 
19O 066:017 Unto Him [with] my mouth I have called, And exaltation  [is] under my tongue. 
19O 066:018 Iniquity, if I have seen in my heart, The Lord doth not  hear. 
19O 066:019 But God hath heard, He hath attended to the voice of my  prayer. 
19O 066:020 Blessed [is] God, Who hath not turned aside my prayer, And  His loving-kindness, from me! 
19O 067:001 To the Overseer, with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm, a  Song. God doth favour us and bless us, Doth cause His face to  shine with us. Selah. 
19O 067:002 For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of  Thy salvation. 
19O 067:003 Praise Thee do peoples, O God, Praise Thee do peoples, all  of them. 
19O 067:004 Rejoice and sing do nations, For Thou judgest peoples  uprightly, And peoples on earth comfortest. Selah. 
19O 067:005 Confess Thee do peoples, O God, Confess Thee do peoples --  all of them. 
19O 067:006 Earth hath given her increase, God doth bless us -- our  God, 
19O 067:007 God doth bless us, and all ends of earth fear Him! 
19O 068:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm, a song of David. Rise doth God  -- scattered are His enemies! And those hating Him flee from  His face. 
19O 068:002 As the driving away of smoke Thou drivest away, As the  melting of wax before fire, The wicked perish at the presence  of God. 
19O 068:003 And the righteous rejoice, they exult before God, And they  joy with gladness. 
19O 068:004 Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for  Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah [is] His name, and exult  before Him. 
19O 068:005 Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, [Is] God  in His holy habitation. 
19O 068:006 God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out  bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have  inhabited a dry place. 
19O 068:007 O God, in Thy going forth before Thy people, In Thy  stepping through the wilderness, Selah. 
19O 068:008 The earth hath shaken, Yea, the heavens have dropped before  God, This Sinai -- before God, the God of Israel. 
19O 068:009 A shower of free-will gifts thou shakest out, O God. Thine  inheritance, when it hath been weary, Thou hast established it. 
19O 068:010 Thy company have dwelt in it, Thou preparest in Thy  goodness for the poor, O God. 
19O 068:011 The Lord doth give the saying, The female proclaimers  [are] a numerous host. 
19O 068:012 Kings of hosts flee utterly away, And a female inhabitant  of the house apportioneth spoil. 
19O 068:013 Though ye do lie between two boundaries, Wings of a dove  covered with silver, And her pinions with yellow gold. 
19O 068:014 When the Mighty spreadeth kings in it, It doth snow in  Salmon. 
19O 068:015 A hill of God [is] the hill of Bashan, A hill of heights  [is] the hill of Bashan. 
19O 068:016 Why do ye envy, O high hills, The hill God hath desired  for His seat? Jehovah also doth tabernacle for ever. 
19O 068:017 The chariots of God [are] myriads, thousands of changes,  The Lord [is] among them, in Sinai, in the sanctuary. 
19O 068:018 Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast taken captive  captivity, Thou hast taken gifts for men, That even the  refractory may rest, O Jah God. 
19O 068:019 Blessed [is] the Lord, day by day He layeth on us. God  Himself [is] our salvation. Selah. 
19O 068:020 God Himself [is] to us a God for deliverances, And Jehovah  Lord hath the outgoings of death. 
19O 068:021 Only -- God doth smite The head of His enemies, The hairy  crown of a habitual walker in his guilt. 
19O 068:022 The Lord said: `From Bashan I bring back, I bring back  from the depths of the sea. 
19O 068:023 So that thou dashest thy foot in blood, [In the blood of]  enemies -- the tongue of Thy dogs.' 
19O 068:024 They have seen Thy goings, O God, Goings of my God, my  king, in the sanctuary. 
19O 068:025 Singers have been before, Behind [are] players on  instruments, In the midst virgins playing with timbrels. 
19O 068:026 In assemblies bless ye God, The Lord -- from the fountain  of Israel. 
19O 068:027 There [is] little Benjamin their ruler, Heads of Judah  their defence, Heads of Zebulun -- heads of Naphtali. 
19O 068:028 Thy God hath commanded thy strength, Be strong, O God,  this Thou hast wrought for us. 
19O 068:029 Because of Thy temple at Jerusalem, To Thee do kings bring  a present. 
19O 068:030 Rebuke a beast of the reeds, a company of bulls, With  calves of the peoples, Each humbling himself with pieces of  silver, Scatter Thou peoples delighting in conflicts. 
19O 068:031 Come do fat ones out of Egypt, Cush causeth her hands to  run to God. 
19O 068:032 Kingdoms of the earth, sing ye to God, Praise ye the Lord.  Selah. 
19O 068:033 To him who is riding on the heavens of the heavens of old,  Lo, He giveth with His voice a strong voice. 
19O 068:034 Ascribe ye strength to God, Over Israel [is] His  excellency, and His strength in the clouds. 
19O 068:035 Fearful, O God, out of Thy sanctuaries, The God of Israel  Himself, Giving strength and might to the people. Blessed [is]  God! 
19O 069:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O  God, for come have waters unto the soul. 
19O 069:002 I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have  come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown  me. 
19O 069:003 I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my  throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God. 
19O 069:004 Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs  of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies,  That which I took not away -- I bring back. 
19O 069:005 O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And  my desolations from Thee have not been hid. 
19O 069:006 Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O  Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush  because of me, O God of Israel. 
19O 069:007 For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath  covered my face. 
19O 069:008 A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to  sons of my mother. 
19O 069:009 For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches  of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me. 
19O 069:010 And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a  reproach to me. 
19O 069:011 And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a  simile. 
19O 069:012 Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And  those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments. 
19O 069:013 And I -- my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good  pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in  the truth of Thy salvation. 
19O 069:014 Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be  delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters. 
19O 069:015 Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep  swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me. 
19O 069:016 Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness,  According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me, 
19O 069:017 And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in  distress -- haste, answer me. 
19O 069:018 Be near unto my soul -- redeem it, Because of mine enemies  ransom me. 
19O 069:019 Thou -- Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my  blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries. 
19O 069:020 Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look  for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I  have found none. 
19O 069:021 And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me  to drink vinegar. 
19O 069:022 Their table before them is for a snare, And for a  recompence -- for a trap. 
19O 069:023 Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins  continually shake Thou. 
19O 069:024 Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of  Thine anger doth seize them. 
19O 069:025 Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no  dweller. 
19O 069:026 For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount  of the pain of Thy pierced ones. 
19O 069:027 Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not  into Thy righteousness. 
19O 069:028 They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the  righteous are not written. 
19O 069:029 And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God,  doth set me on high. 
19O 069:030 I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him  with thanksgiving, 
19O 069:031 And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock --  horned -- hoofed. 
19O 069:032 The humble have seen -- they rejoice, Ye who seek God --  and your heart liveth. 
19O 069:033 For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones  He hath not despised. 
19O 069:034 The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every  moving thing in them. 
19O 069:035 For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of  Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it. 
19O 069:036 And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving  His name dwell in it! 
19O 070:001 To the Overseer, by David. -- `To cause to remember.' O  God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste. 
19O 070:002 Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul,  Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil. 
19O 070:003 Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying,  `Aha, aha.' 
19O 070:004 Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let  those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.' 
19O 070:005 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and  my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not! 
19O 071:001 In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed  to the age. 
19O 071:002 In Thy righteousness Thou dost deliver me, And dost cause  me to escape, Incline unto me Thine ear, and save me. 
19O 071:003 Be to me for a rock -- a habitation, To go in continually,  Thou hast given command to save me, For my rock and my bulwark  [art] Thou. 
19O 071:004 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked,  From the hand of the perverse and violent. 
19O 071:005 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my  youth. 
19O 071:006 By Thee I have been supported from the womb, From my  mother's bowels Thou dost cut me out, In Thee [is] my praise  continually. 
19O 071:007 As a wonder I have been to many, And Thou [art] my strong  refuge. 
19O 071:008 Filled is my mouth [with] Thy praise, All the day [with]  Thy beauty. 
19O 071:009 Cast me not off at the time of old age, According to the  consumption of my power forsake me not. 
19O 071:010 For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those  watching my soul have taken counsel together, 
19O 071:011 Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for  there is no deliverer.' 
19O 071:012 O God, be not far from me, O my God, for my help make  haste. 
19O 071:013 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my  soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are  seeking my evil, 
19O 071:014 And I continually do wait with hope, And have added unto  all Thy praise. 
19O 071:015 My mouth recounteth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy  salvation, For I have not known the numbers. 
19O 071:016 I come in the might of the Lord Jehovah, I mention Thy  righteousness -- Thine only. 
19O 071:017 God, Thou hast taught me from my youth, And hitherto I  declare Thy wonders. 
19O 071:018 And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me  not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one  that cometh Thy might. 
19O 071:019 And Thy righteousness, O God, [is] unto the heights,  Because Thou hast done great things, O God, who [is] like Thee? 
19O 071:020 Because Thou hast showed me many and sad distresses, Thou  turnest back -- Thou revivest me, And from the depths of the  earth, Thou turnest back -- Thou bringest me up. 
19O 071:021 Thou dost increase my greatness, And Thou surroundest --  Thou comfortest me, 
19O 071:022 I also thank Thee with a vessel of psaltery, Thy truth, O  my God, I sing to Thee with a harp, O Holy One of Israel, 
19O 071:023 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to Thee, And my soul  that Thou hast redeemed, 
19O 071:024 My tongue also all the day uttereth Thy righteousness,  Because ashamed -- because confounded, Have been those seeking  my evil! 
19O 072:001 By Solomon. O God, Thy judgments to the king give, And Thy  righteousness to the king's son. 
19O 072:002 He judgeth Thy people with righteousness, And Thy poor with  judgment. 
19O 072:003 The mountains bear peace to the people, And the heights by  righteousness. 
19O 072:004 He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to  the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor. 
19O 072:005 They fear Thee with the sun, and before the moon,  Generation -- generations. 
19O 072:006 He cometh down as rain on mown grass, As showers --  sprinkling the earth. 
19O 072:007 Flourish in his days doth the righteous, And abundance of  peace till the moon is not. 
19O 072:008 And he ruleth from sea unto sea, And from the river unto  the ends of earth. 
19O 072:009 Before him bow do the inhabitants of the dry places, And  his enemies lick the dust. 
19O 072:010 Kings of Tarshish and of the isles send back a present.  Kings of Sheba and Seba a reward bring near. 
19O 072:011 And all kings do bow themselves to him, All nations do  serve him, 
19O 072:012 For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when  he hath no helper, 
19O 072:013 He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the  needy he saveth, 
19O 072:014 From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And  precious is their blood in his eyes. 
19O 072:015 And he liveth, and giveth to him of the gold of Sheba, And  prayeth for him continually, All the day he doth bless him. 
19O 072:016 There is a handful of corn in the earth, On the top of  mountains, Shake like Lebanon doth its fruit, And they flourish  out of the city as the herb of the earth. 
19O 072:017 His name is to the age, Before the sun is his name  continued, And they bless themselves in him, All nations do  pronounce him happy. 
19O 072:018 Blessed is Jehovah God, God of Israel, He alone is doing  wonders, 
19O 072:019 And blessed [is] the Name of His honour to the age, And  the whole earth is filled [with] His honour. Amen, and amen! 
19O 072:020 The prayers of David son of Jesse have been ended. 
19O 073:001 A Psalm of Asaph. Only -- good to Israel [is] God, to the  clean of heart. And I -- as a little thing, My feet have been  turned aside, 
19O 073:002 As nothing, have my steps slipped, For I have been envious  of the boastful, 
19O 073:003 The peace of the wicked I see, That there are no bands at  their death, 
19O 073:004 And their might [is] firm. 
19O 073:005 In the misery of mortals they are not, And with common men  they are not plagued. 
19O 073:006 Therefore hath pride encircled them, Violence covereth them  as a dress. 
19O 073:007 Their eye hath come out from fat. The imaginations of the  heart transgressed; 
19O 073:008 They do corruptly, And they speak in the wickedness of  oppression, From on high they speak. 
19O 073:009 They have set in the heavens their mouth, And their tongue  walketh in the earth. 
19O 073:010 Therefore do His people return hither, And waters of  fulness are wrung out to them. 
19O 073:011 And they have said, `How hath God known? And is there  knowledge in the Most High?' 
19O 073:012 Lo, these [are] the wicked and easy ones of the age, They  have increased strength. 
19O 073:013 Only -- a vain thing! I have purified my heart, And I wash  in innocency my hands, 
19O 073:014 And I am plagued all the day, And my reproof [is] every  morning. 
19O 073:015 If I have said, `I recount thus,' Lo, a generation of Thy  sons I have deceived. 
19O 073:016 And I think to know this, Perverseness it [is] in mine  eyes, 
19O 073:017 Till I come in to the sanctuaries of God, I attend to  their latter end. 
19O 073:018 Only, in slippery places Thou dost set them, Thou hast  caused them to fall to desolations. 
19O 073:019 How have they become a desolation as in a moment, They  have been ended -- consumed from terrors. 
19O 073:020 As a dream from awakening, O Lord, In awaking, their image  Thou despisest. 
19O 073:021 For my heart doth show itself violent, And my reins prick  themselves, 
19O 073:022 And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been  with Thee. 
19O 073:023 And I [am] continually with Thee, Thou hast laid hold on  my right hand. 
19O 073:024 With Thy counsel Thou dost lead me, And after honour dost  receive me. 
19O 073:025 Whom have I in the heavens? And with Thee none I have  desired in earth. 
19O 073:026 Consumed hath been my flesh and my heart, The rock of my  heart and my portion [is] God to the age. 
19O 073:027 For, lo, those far from Thee do perish, Thou hast cut off  every one, Who is going a whoring from Thee. 
19O 073:028 And I -- nearness of God to me [is] good, I have placed in  the Lord Jehovah my refuge, To recount all Thy works! 
19O 074:001 An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for  ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock of Thy pasture. 
19O 074:002 Remember Thy company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou  didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion --  Thou didst dwell in it. 
19O 074:003 Lift up Thy steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything  the enemy did wickedly in the sanctuary. 
19O 074:004 Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy  meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns. 
19O 074:005 He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of  wood -- axes. 
19O 074:006 And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they  break down, 
19O 074:007 They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they  polluted the tabernacle of Thy name, 
19O 074:008 They said in their hearts, `Let us oppress them together,'  They did burn all the meeting-places of God in the land. 
19O 074:009 Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet,  Nor with us is one knowing how long. 
19O 074:010 Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an  enemy despise thy name for ever? 
19O 074:011 Why dost Thou turn back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand?  From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it]. 
19O 074:012 And God [is] my king of old, Working salvation in the  midst of the earth. 
19O 074:013 Thou hast broken by Thy strength a sea-[monster], Thou  hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters, 
19O 074:014 Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him  food, For the people of the dry places. 
19O 074:015 Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried  up perennial flowings. 
19O 074:016 Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast  prepared a light giver -- the sun. 
19O 074:017 Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and  winter Thou hast formed them. 
19O 074:018 Remember this -- an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a  foolish people have despised Thy name. 
19O 074:019 Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The  company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever. 
19O 074:020 Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of  earth, Have been full of habitations of violence. 
19O 074:021 Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and  needy praise Thy name, 
19O 074:022 Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a  fool all the day. 
19O 074:023 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, The noise of  Thy withstanders is going up continually! 
19O 075:001 To the Overseer. -- `Destroy not.' -- A Psalm of Asaph. --  A Song. We have given thanks to Thee, O God, We have given  thanks, and near [is] Thy name, They have recounted Thy  wonders. 
19O 075:002 When I receive an appointment, I -- I do judge uprightly. 
19O 075:003 Melted is the earth and all its inhabitants, I -- I have  pondered its pillars. Selah. 
19O 075:004 I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the  wicked, `Raise not up a horn.' 
19O 075:005 Raise not up on high your horn, (Ye speak with a stiff  neck.) 
19O 075:006 For not from the east, or from the west, Nor from the  wilderness -- [is] elevation. 
19O 075:007 But God [is] judge, This He maketh low -- and this He  lifteth up. 
19O 075:008 For a cup [is] in the hand of Jehovah, And the wine hath  foamed, It is full of mixture, and He poureth out of it, Only  its dregs wring out, and drink, Do all the wicked of the earth, 
19O 075:009 And I -- I declare [it] to the age, I sing praise to the  God of Jacob. 
19O 075:010 And all horns of the wicked I cut off, Exalted are the  horns of the righteous! 
19O 076:001 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- A Psalm of  Asaph. -- A Song. In Judah [is] God known, in Israel His name  [is] great. 
19O 076:002 And His tabernacle is in Salem, And His habitation in Zion. 
19O 076:003 There he hath shivered arrows of a bow, Shield, and sword,  and battle. Selah. 
19O 076:004 Bright [art] Thou, honourable above hills of prey. 
19O 076:005 Spoiled themselves have the mighty of heart, They have  slept their sleep, And none of the men of might found their  hands. 
19O 076:006 From Thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, Both rider and horse have  been fast asleep. 
19O 076:007 Thou, fearful [art] Thou, And who doth stand before Thee,  Since Thou hast been angry! 
19O 076:008 From heaven Thou hast sounded judgment, Earth hath feared,  and hath been still, 
19O 076:009 In the rising of God to judgment, To save all the humble of  earth. Selah. 
19O 076:010 For the fierceness of man praiseth Thee, The remnant of  fierceness Thou girdest on. 
19O 076:011 Vow and complete to Jehovah your God, All ye surrounding  him. They bring presents to the Fearful One. 
19O 076:012 He doth gather the spirit of leaders, Fearful to the kings  of earth! 
19O 077:001 To the Overseer, for Jeduthun. -- A Psalm of Asaph. My  voice [is] to God, and I cry, my voice [is] to God, And He hath  given ear unto me. 
19O 077:002 In a day of my distress the Lord I sought, My hand by night  hath been spread out, And it doth not cease, My soul hath  refused to be comforted. 
19O 077:003 I remember God, and make a noise, I meditate, and feeble is  my spirit. Selah. 
19O 077:004 Thou hast taken hold of the watches of mine eyes, I have  been moved, and I speak not. 
19O 077:005 I have reckoned the days of old, The years of the ages. 
19O 077:006 I remember my music in the night, With my heart I meditate,  and my spirit doth search diligently: 
19O 077:007 To the ages doth the Lord cast off? Doth He add to be  pleased no more? 
19O 077:008 Hath His kindness ceased for ever? The saying failed to all  generations? 
19O 077:009 Hath God forgotten [His] favours? Hath He shut up in anger  His mercies? Selah. 
19O 077:010 And I say: `My weakness is, The changes of the right hand  of the Most High.' 
19O 077:011 I mention the doings of Jah, For I remember of old Thy  wonders, 
19O 077:012 And I have meditated on all Thy working, And I talk  concerning Thy doings. 
19O 077:013 O God, in holiness [is] Thy way, Who [is] a great god like  God? 
19O 077:014 Thou [art] the God doing wonders. Thou hast made known  among the peoples Thy strength, 
19O 077:015 Thou hast redeemed with strength Thy people, The sons of  Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 
19O 077:016 The waters have seen Thee, O God, The waters have seen  Thee, They are afraid -- also depths are troubled. 
19O 077:017 Poured out waters have thick clouds, The skies have given  forth a noise, Also -- Thine arrows go up and down. 
19O 077:018 The voice of Thy thunder [is] in the spheres, Lightnings  have lightened the world, The earth hath trembled, yea, it  shaketh. 
19O 077:019 In the sea [is] Thy way, And Thy paths [are] in many  waters, And Thy tracks have not been known. 
19O 077:020 Thou hast led as a flock Thy people, By the hand of Moses  and Aaron! 
19O 078:001 An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law,  Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth. 
19O 078:002 I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things  of old, 
19O 078:003 That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have  recounted to us. 
19O 078:004 We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation  recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His  wonders that He hath done. 
19O 078:005 And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath  placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them  known to their sons. 
19O 078:006 So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do  rise and recount to their sons, 
19O 078:007 And place in God their confidence, And forget not the  doings of God, But keep His commands. 
19O 078:008 And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate  and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart,  Nor stedfast with God [is] its spirit. 
19O 078:009 Sons of Ephraim -- armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a  day of conflict. 
19O 078:010 They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law  they have refused to walk, 
19O 078:011 And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed  them. 
19O 078:012 Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of  Egypt -- the field of Zoan. 
19O 078:013 He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He  causeth waters to stand as a heap. 
19O 078:014 And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night  with a light of fire. 
19O 078:015 He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink -- as  the great deep. 
19O 078:016 And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters  to come down as rivers. 
19O 078:017 And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most  High in the dry place. 
19O 078:018 And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their  lust. 
19O 078:019 And they speak against God -- they said: `Is God able to  array a table in a wilderness?' 
19O 078:020 Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams  overflow. `Also -- bread [is] He able to give? Doth He prepare  flesh for His people?' 
19O 078:021 Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself  wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also  hath gone up against Israel, 
19O 078:022 For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted  in His salvation. 
19O 078:023 And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the  heavens He hath opened. 
19O 078:024 And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven  He hath given to them. 
19O 078:025 Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to  them to satiety. 
19O 078:026 He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And  leadeth by His strength a south wind, 
19O 078:027 And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the  seas -- winged fowl, 
19O 078:028 And causeth [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Round  about His tabernacles. 
19O 078:029 And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire  He bringeth to them. 
19O 078:030 They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet [is]  their food in their mouth, 
19O 078:031 And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He  slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to  bend. 
19O 078:032 With all this they have sinned again, And have not  believed in His wonders. 
19O 078:033 And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in  trouble. 
19O 078:034 If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back,  and sought God earnestly, 
19O 078:035 And they remember that God [is] their rock, And God Most  High their redeemer. 
19O 078:036 And -- they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their  tongue do lie to Him, 
19O 078:037 And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they  have not been stedfast in His covenant. 
19O 078:038 And He -- the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and  destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And  waketh not up all His fury. 
19O 078:039 And He remembereth that they [are] flesh, A wind going on  -- and it returneth not. 
19O 078:040 How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve  Him in the desolate place? 
19O 078:041 Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of  Israel have limited. 
19O 078:042 They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them  from the adversary. 
19O 078:043 When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the  field of Zoan, 
19O 078:044 And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods  they drink not. 
19O 078:045 He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them,  And the frog, and it destroyeth them, 
19O 078:046 And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their  labour to the locust. 
19O 078:047 He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores  with frost, 
19O 078:048 And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their  cattle to the burning flames. 
19O 078:049 He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and  indignation, and distress -- A discharge of evil messengers. 
19O 078:050 He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their  soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered  up. 
19O 078:051 And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit  of the strong in tents of Ham. 
19O 078:052 And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth  them as a drove in a wilderness, 
19O 078:053 And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been  afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered. 
19O 078:054 And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary,  This mountain His right hand had got, 
19O 078:055 And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them  to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of  Israel to dwell in their tents, 
19O 078:056 And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His  testimonies have not kept. 
19O 078:057 And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their  fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow, 
19O 078:058 And make Him angry with their high places, And with their  graven images make Him zealous, 
19O 078:059 God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh  exceedingly against Israel. 
19O 078:060 And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had  placed among men, 
19O 078:061 And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty  into the hand of an adversary, 
19O 078:062 And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His  inheritance shewed Himself angry. 
19O 078:063 His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not  been praised. 
19O 078:064 His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows  weep not. 
19O 078:065 And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying  aloud from wine. 
19O 078:066 And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach  age-during He hath put on them, 
19O 078:067 And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the  tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed. 
19O 078:068 And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that  He loved, 
19O 078:069 And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the  earth, He founded it to the age. 
19O 078:070 And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from  the folds of a flock, 
19O 078:071 From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule  over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance. 
19O 078:072 And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his  heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them! 
19O 079:001 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, nations have come into Thy  inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made  Jerusalem become heaps, 
19O 079:002 They gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the  fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild  beast of the earth. 
19O 079:003 They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem,  And there is none burying. 
19O 079:004 We have been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a  derision to our surrounders. 
19O 079:005 Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy  doth burn as fire. 
19O 079:006 Pour Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And  on kingdoms that have not called in Thy name. 
19O 079:007 For [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have  made desolate. 
19O 079:008 Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste,  let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak. 
19O 079:009 Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of  Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy  name's sake. 
19O 079:010 Why do the nations say, `Where [is] their God?' Let be  known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the  blood of Thy servants that is shed. 
19O 079:011 Let the groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee,  According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of  death. 
19O 079:012 And turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their  bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they reproached Thee, O Lord. 
19O 079:013 And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give  thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy  praise! 
19O 080:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Lilies.' A testimony of Asaph.  -- A Psalm. Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Leading Joseph as a  flock, Inhabiting the cherubs -- shine forth, 
19O 080:002 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin, and Manasseh, Wake up Thy  might, and come for our salvation. 
19O 080:003 O God, cause us to turn back, And cause Thy face to shine,  and we are saved. 
19O 080:004 Jehovah, God of Hosts, till when? Thou hast burned against  the prayer of Thy people. 
19O 080:005 Thou hast caused them to eat bread of tears, And causest  them to drink With tears a third time. 
19O 080:006 Thou makest us a strife to our neighbors, And our enemies  mock at it. 
19O 080:007 God of Hosts, turn us back, And cause Thy face to shine,  and we are saved. 
19O 080:008 A vine out of Egypt Thou dost bring, Thou dost cast out  nations, and plantest it. 
19O 080:009 Thou hast looked before it, and dost root it, And it  filleth the land, 
19O 080:010 Covered have been hills [with] its shadow, And its boughs  [are] cedars of God. 
19O 080:011 It sendeth forth its branches unto the sea, And unto the  river its sucklings. 
19O 080:012 Why hast Thou broken down its hedges, And all passing by  the way have plucked it? 
19O 080:013 A boar out of the forest doth waste it, And a wild beast  of the fields consumeth it. 
19O 080:014 God of Hosts, turn back, we beseech Thee, Look from  heaven, and see, and inspect this vine, 
19O 080:015 And the root that Thy right hand planted, And the branch  Thou madest strong for Thee, 
19O 080:016 Burnt with fire -- cut down, From the rebuke of Thy face  they perish. 
19O 080:017 Let Thy hand be on the man of Thy right hand, On the son  of man Thou hast strengthened for Thyself. 
19O 080:018 And we do not go back from Thee, Thou dost revive us, and  in Thy name we call. 
19O 080:019 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, turn us back, Cause Thy face to  shine, and we are saved! 
19O 081:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith.' By Asaph. Cry aloud  to God our strength, Shout to the God of Jacob. 
19O 081:002 Lift up a song, and give out a timbrel, A pleasant harp  with psaltery. 
19O 081:003 Blow in the month a trumpet, In the new moon, at the day of  our festival, 
19O 081:004 For a statute to Israel it [is], An ordinance of the God of  Jacob. 
19O 081:005 A testimony on Joseph He hath placed it, In his going forth  over the land of Egypt. A lip, I have not known -- I hear. 
19O 081:006 From the burden his shoulder I turned aside, His hands from  the basket pass over. 
19O 081:007 In distress thou hast called and I deliver thee, I answer  thee in the secret place of thunder, I try thee by the waters  of Meribah. Selah. 
19O 081:008 Hear, O My people, and I testify to thee, O Israel, if thou  dost hearken to me: 
19O 081:009 There is not in thee a strange god, And thou bowest not  thyself to a strange god. 
19O 081:010 I [am] Jehovah thy God, Who bringeth thee up out of the  land of Egypt. Enlarge thy mouth, and I fill it. 
19O 081:011 But, My people hearkened not to My voice, And Israel hath  not consented to Me. 
19O 081:012 And I send them away in the enmity of their heart, They  walk in their own counsels. 
19O 081:013 O that My people were hearkening to Me, Israel in My ways  would walk. 
19O 081:014 As a little thing their enemies I cause to bow, And  against their adversaries I turn back My hand, 
19O 081:015 Those hating Jehovah feign obedience to Him, But their  time is -- to the age. 
19O 081:016 He causeth him to eat of the fat of wheat, And [with]  honey from a rock I satisfy thee! 
19O 082:001 -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God,  In the midst God doth judge. 
19O 082:002 Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the  wicked lift up? Selah. 
19O 082:003 Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the  poor declare righteous. 
19O 082:004 Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked  deliver them. 
19O 082:005 They knew not, nor do they understand, In darkness they  walk habitually, Moved are all the foundations of earth. 
19O 082:006 I -- I have said, `Gods ye [are], And sons of the Most High  -- all of you, 
19O 082:007 But as man ye die, and as one of the heads ye fall, 
19O 082:008 Rise, O God, judge the earth, For Thou hast inheritance  among all the nations! 
19O 083:001 A Song, -- A Psalm of Asaph. O God, let there be no silence  to Thee, Be not silent, nor be quiet, O God. 
19O 083:002 For, lo, Thine enemies do roar, And those hating Thee have  lifted up the head, 
19O 083:003 Against Thy people they take crafty counsel, And consult  against Thy hidden ones. 
19O 083:004 They have said, `Come, And we cut them off from [being] a  nation, And the name of Israel is not remembered any more.' 
19O 083:005 For they consulted in heart together, Against Thee a  covenant they make, 
19O 083:006 Tents of Edom, and Ishmaelites, Moab, and the Hagarenes, 
19O 083:007 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek, Philistia with inhabitants of  Tyre, 
19O 083:008 Asshur also is joined with them, They have been an arm to  sons of Lot. Selah. 
19O 083:009 Do to them as [to] Midian, As [to] Sisera, as [to] Jabin,  at the stream Kishon. 
19O 083:010 They were destroyed at Endor, They were dung for the  ground! 
19O 083:011 Make their nobles as Oreb and as Zeeb, And as Zebah and  Zalmunna all their princes, 
19O 083:012 Who have said, `Let us occupy for ourselves The comely  places of God.' 
19O 083:013 O my God, make them as a rolling thing, As stubble before  wind. 
19O 083:014 As a fire doth burn a forest, And as a flame setteth hills  on fire, 
19O 083:015 So dost Thou pursue them with Thy whirlwind, And with Thy  hurricane troublest them. 
19O 083:016 Fill their faces [with] shame, And they seek Thy name, O  Jehovah. 
19O 083:017 They are ashamed and troubled for ever, Yea, they are  confounded and lost. 
19O 083:018 And they know that Thou -- (Thy name [is] Jehovah -- by  Thyself,) [Art] the Most High over all the earth! 
19O 084:001 To the Overseer. -- `On the Gittith By sons of Korah.' -- A  Psalm. How beloved Thy tabernacles, Jehovah of Hosts! 
19O 084:002 My soul desired, yea, it hath also been consumed, For the  courts of Jehovah, My heart and my flesh cry aloud unto the  living God, 
19O 084:003 (Even a sparrow hath found a house, And a swallow a nest  for herself, Where she hath placed her brood,) Thine altars, O  Jehovah of Hosts, My king and my God. 
19O 084:004 O the happiness of those inhabiting Thy house, Yet do they  praise Thee. Selah. 
19O 084:005 O the happiness of a man whose strength is in Thee,  Highways [are] in their heart. 
19O 084:006 Those passing through a valley of weeping, A fountain do  make it, Blessings also cover the director. 
19O 084:007 They go from strength unto strength, He appeareth unto God  in Zion. 
19O 084:008 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, hear my prayer, Give ear, O God of  Jacob. Selah. 
19O 084:009 Our shield, see, O God, And behold the face of Thine  anointed, 
19O 084:010 For good [is] a day in Thy courts, O Teacher! I have  chosen rather to be at the threshold, In the house of my God,  Than to dwell in tents of wickedness. 
19O 084:011 For a sun and a shield [is] Jehovah God, Grace and honour  doth Jehovah give. He withholdeth not good To those walking in  uprightness. 
19O 084:012 Jehovah of Hosts! O the happiness of a man trusting in  Thee. 
19O 085:001 To the Overseer. -- By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast  accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the  captivity of Jacob. 
19O 085:002 Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast  covered all their sin. Selah. 
19O 085:003 Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back  from the fierceness of Thine anger. 
19O 085:004 Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void  Thine anger with us. 
19O 085:005 To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out  Thine anger To generation and generation? 
19O 085:006 Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people  do rejoice in Thee. 
19O 085:007 Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou  dost give to us. 
19O 085:008 I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace  unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to  folly. 
19O 085:009 Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That  honour may dwell in our land. 
19O 085:010 Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have  kissed, 
19O 085:011 Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from  heaven looketh out, 
19O 085:012 Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth  give its increase. 
19O 085:013 Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps  for a way! 
19O 086:001 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer  me, for I [am] poor and needy. 
19O 086:002 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant -- who is  trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God. 
19O 086:003 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day. 
19O 086:004 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my  soul I lift up. 
19O 086:005 For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in  kindness to all calling Thee. 
19O 086:006 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my  supplications. 
19O 086:007 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer  me. 
19O 086:008 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like  Thy works there are none. 
19O 086:009 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves  before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name. 
19O 086:010 For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God  Thyself alone. 
19O 086:011 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart  doth rejoice to fear Thy name. 
19O 086:012 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I  honour Thy name to the age. 
19O 086:013 For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast  delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. 
19O 086:014 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company  of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before  them, 
19O 086:015 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow  to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. 
19O 086:016 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy  servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid. 
19O 086:017 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and  are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou  hast comforted me! 
19O 087:001 By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song. His foundation [is]  in holy mountains. 
19O 087:002 Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the  tabernacles of Jacob. 
19O 087:003 Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah. 
19O 087:004 I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo,  Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This [one] was born there. 
19O 087:005 And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He,  the Most High, doth establish her. 
19O 087:006 Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples,  `This [one] was born there.' Selah. 
19O 087:007 Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains  [are] in Thee! 
19O 088:001 A Song, a Psalm, by sons of Korah, to the Overseer,  `Concerning the Sickness of Afflictions.' -- An instruction, by  Heman the Ezrahite. O Jehovah, God of my salvation, Daily I  have cried, nightly before Thee, 
19O 088:002 My prayer cometh in before Thee, Incline Thine ear to my  loud cry, 
19O 088:003 For my soul hath been full of evils, And my life hath come  to Sheol. 
19O 088:004 I have been reckoned with those going down [to] the pit, I  have been as a man without strength. 
19O 088:005 Among the dead -- free, As pierced ones lying in the grave,  Whom Thou hast not remembered any more, Yea, they by Thy hand  have been cut off. 
19O 088:006 Thou hast put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in  depths. 
19O 088:007 Upon me hath Thy fury lain, And [with] all Thy breakers  Thou hast afflicted. Selah. 
19O 088:008 Thou hast put mine acquaintance far from me, Thou hast made  me an abomination to them, Shut up -- I go not forth. 
19O 088:009 Mine eye hath grieved because of affliction, I called Thee,  O Jehovah, all the day, I have spread out unto Thee my hands. 
19O 088:010 To the dead dost Thou do wonders? Do Rephaim rise? do they  thank Thee? Selah. 
19O 088:011 Is Thy kindness recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness  in destruction? 
19O 088:012 Are Thy wonders known in the darkness? And Thy  righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 
19O 088:013 And I, unto Thee, O Jehovah, I have cried, And in the  morning doth my prayer come before Thee. 
19O 088:014 Why, O Jehovah, castest Thou off my soul? Thou hidest Thy  face from me. 
19O 088:015 I [am] afflicted, and expiring from youth, I have borne  Thy terrors -- I pine away. 
19O 088:016 Over me hath Thy wrath passed, Thy terrors have cut me  off, 
19O 088:017 They have surrounded me as waters all the day, They have  gone round against me together, 
19O 088:018 Thou hast put far from me lover and friend, Mine  acquaintance [is] the place of darkness! 
19O 089:001 An instruction, by Ethan the Ezrahite. Of the kind acts of  Jehovah, to the age I sing, To all generations I make known Thy  faithfulness with my mouth, 
19O 089:002 For I said, `To the age is kindness built, The heavens!  Thou dost establish Thy faithfulness in them.' 
19O 089:003 I have made a covenant for My chosen, I have sworn to David  My servant: 
19O 089:004 `Even to the age do I establish thy seed, And have built to  generation and generation thy throne. Selah. 
19O 089:005 and the heavens confess Thy wonders, O Jehovah, Thy  faithfulness also [is] in an assembly of holy ones. 
19O 089:006 For who in the sky, Compareth himself to Jehovah? Is like  to Jehovah among sons of the mighty? 
19O 089:007 God is very terrible, In the secret counsel of His holy  ones, And fearful over all surrounding Him. 
19O 089:008 O Jehovah, God of Hosts, Who [is] like Thee -- a strong  Jah? And Thy faithfulness [is] round about Thee. 
19O 089:009 Thou [art] ruler over the pride of the sea, In the lifting  up of its billows Thou dost restrain them. 
19O 089:010 Thou hast bruised Rahab, as one wounded. With the arm of  Thy strength Thou hast scattered Thine enemies. 
19O 089:011 Thine [are] the heavens -- the earth also [is] Thine, The  habitable world and its fulness, Thou hast founded them. 
19O 089:012 North and south Thou hast appointed them, Tabor and Hermon  in Thy name do sing. 
19O 089:013 Thou hast an arm with might, Strong is Thy hand -- high  Thy right hand. 
19O 089:014 Righteousness and judgment [Are] the fixed place of Thy  throne, Kindness and truth go before Thy face. 
19O 089:015 O the happiness of the people knowing the shout, O  Jehovah, in the light of Thy face they walk habitually. 
19O 089:016 In Thy name they rejoice all the day, And in Thy  righteousness they are exalted, 
19O 089:017 For the beauty of their strength [art] Thou, And in Thy  good will is our horn exalted, 
19O 089:018 For of Jehovah [is] our shield, And of the Holy One of  Israel our king. 
19O 089:019 Then Thou hast spoken in vision, To Thy saint, yea, Thou  sayest, I have placed help upon a mighty one, Exalted a chosen  one out of the people, 
19O 089:020 I have found David My servant, With My holy oil I have  anointed him. 
19O 089:021 With whom My hand is established, My arm also doth  strengthen him. 
19O 089:022 An enemy exacteth not upon him, And a son of perverseness  afflicteth him not. 
19O 089:023 And I have beaten down before him his adversaries, And  those hating him I plague, 
19O 089:024 And My faithfulness and kindness [are] with him, And in My  name is his horn exalted. 
19O 089:025 And I have set on the sea his hand, And on the rivers his  right hand. 
19O 089:026 He proclaimeth me: `Thou [art] my Father, My God, and the  rock of my salvation.' 
19O 089:027 I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of  the earth. 
19O 089:028 To the age I keep for him My kindness, And My covenant  [is] stedfast with him. 
19O 089:029 And I have set his seed for ever, And his throne as the  days of the heavens. 
19O 089:030 If his sons forsake My law, And in My judgments do not  walk; 
19O 089:031 If My statutes they pollute, And My commands do not keep, 
19O 089:032 I have looked after with a rod their transgression, And  with strokes their iniquity, 
19O 089:033 And My kindness I break not from him, Nor do I deal  falsely in My faithfulness. 
19O 089:034 I profane not My covenant, And that which is going forth  from My lips I change not. 
19O 089:035 Once I have sworn by My holiness, I lie not to David, 
19O 089:036 His seed is to the age, And his throne [is] as the sun  before Me, 
19O 089:037 As the moon it is established -- to the age, And the  witness in the sky is stedfast. Selah. 
19O 089:038 And Thou, Thou hast cast off, and dost reject, Thou hast  shown Thyself wroth With Thine anointed, 
19O 089:039 Hast rejected the covenant of Thy servant, Thou hast  polluted to the earth his crown, 
19O 089:040 Thou hast broken down all his hedges, Thou hast made his  fenced places a ruin. 
19O 089:041 Spoiled him have all passing by the way, He hath been a  reproach to his neighbours, 
19O 089:042 Thou hast exalted the right hand of his adversaries, Thou  hast caused all his enemies to rejoice. 
19O 089:043 Also -- Thou turnest back the sharpness of his sword, And  hast not established him in battle, 
19O 089:044 Hast caused [him] to cease from his brightness, And his  throne to the earth hast cast down. 
19O 089:045 Thou hast shortened the days of his youth, Hast covered  him over [with] shame. Selah. 
19O 089:046 Till when, O Jehovah, art Thou hidden? For ever doth Thy  fury burn as fire? 
19O 089:047 Remember, I pray Thee, what [is] life-time? Wherefore in  vain hast Thou created All the sons of men? 
19O 089:048 Who [is] the man that liveth, and doth not see death? He  delivereth his soul from the hand of Sheol. Selah. 
19O 089:049 Where [are] Thy former kindnesses, O Lord. Thou hast sworn  to David in Thy faithfulness, 
19O 089:050 Remember, O Lord, the reproach of Thy servants, I have  borne in my bosom all the strivings of the peoples, 
19O 089:051 Wherewith Thine enemies reproached, O Jehovah, Wherewith  they have reproached The steps of Thine anointed. 
19O 089:052 Blessed [is] Jehovah to the age. Amen, and amen! 
19O 090:001 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou  -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation, 
19O 090:002 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the  earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God. 
19O 090:003 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn  back, ye sons of men. 
19O 090:004 For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For  it passeth on, yea, a watch by night. 
19O 090:005 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning  as grass he changeth. 
19O 090:006 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening  it is cut down, and hath withered. 
19O 090:007 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we  have been troubled. 
19O 090:008 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things  at the light of Thy face, 
19O 090:009 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our  years as a meditation. 
19O 090:010 Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by  reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement  labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly  away. 
19O 090:011 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy  fear -- Thy wrath? 
19O 090:012 To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the  heart to wisdom. 
19O 090:013 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy  servants. 
19O 090:014 Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and  rejoice all our days. 
19O 090:015 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou  hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil. 
19O 090:016 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on  their sons. 
19O 090:017 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us,  And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our  hands establish it! 
19O 091:001 He who is dwelling In the secret place of the Most High, In  the shade of the Mighty lodgeth habitually, 
19O 091:002 He is saying of Jehovah, `My refuge, and my bulwark, my God,  I trust in Him,' 
19O 091:003 For He delivereth thee from the snare of a fowler, From a  calamitous pestilence. 
19O 091:004 With His pinion He covereth thee over, And under His wings  thou dost trust, A shield and buckler [is] His truth. 
19O 091:005 Thou art not afraid of fear by night, Of arrow that flieth  by day, 
19O 091:006 Of pestilence in thick darkness that walketh, Of  destruction that destroyeth at noon, 
19O 091:007 There fall at thy side a thousand, And a myriad at thy  right hand, Unto thee it cometh not nigh. 
19O 091:008 But with thine eyes thou lookest, And the reward of the  wicked thou seest, 
19O 091:009 (For Thou, O Jehovah, [art] my refuge,) The Most High thou  madest thy habitation. 
19O 091:010 Evil happeneth not unto thee, And a plague cometh not near  thy tent, 
19O 091:011 For His messengers He chargeth for thee, To keep thee in  all thy ways, 
19O 091:012 On the hands they bear thee up, Lest thou smite against a  stone thy foot. 
19O 091:013 On lion and asp thou treadest, Thou trampest young lion  and dragon. 
19O 091:014 Because in Me he hath delighted, I also deliver him -- I  set him on high, Because he hath known My name. 
19O 091:015 He doth call Me, and I answer him, I [am] with him in  distress, I deliver him, and honour him. 
19O 091:016 With length of days I satisfy him, And I cause him to look  on My salvation! 
19O 092:001 A Psalm. -- A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks  to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High, 
19O 092:002 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy  faithfulness in the nights. 
19O 092:003 On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp. 
19O 092:004 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work,  Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing. 
19O 092:005 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have  been Thy thoughts. 
19O 092:006 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not  this; -- 
19O 092:007 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all  workers of iniquity -- For their being destroyed for ever and  ever! 
19O 092:008 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah. 
19O 092:009 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies,  do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity. 
19O 092:010 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed  with fresh oil. 
19O 092:011 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up  against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear. 
19O 092:012 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in  Lebanon he groweth. 
19O 092:013 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of  our God do flourish. 
19O 092:014 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are  they, 
19O 092:015 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is  no perverseness in Him! 
19O 093:001 Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah  put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the  world, unmoved. 
19O 093:002 Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou  [art]. 
19O 093:003 Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up  their voice, Floods lift up their breakers. 
19O 093:004 Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea,  mighty on high [is] Jehovah, 
19O 093:005 Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house  comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days! 
19O 094:001 God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth. 
19O 094:002 Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence  on the proud. 
19O 094:003 Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the  wicked exult? 
19O 094:004 They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity  do boast themselves. 
19O 094:005 Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance  they afflict. 
19O 094:006 Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they  murder. 
19O 094:007 And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob  doth not consider.' 
19O 094:008 Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when  do ye act wisely? 
19O 094:009 He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth  the eye doth He not see? 
19O 094:010 He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who  is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah. 
19O 094:011 He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity. 
19O 094:012 O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah,  And out of Thy law teachest him, 
19O 094:013 To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is  digged for the wicked. 
19O 094:014 For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance  forsaketh not. 
19O 094:015 For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it  all the upright of heart, 
19O 094:016 Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth  himself for me with workers of iniquity? 
19O 094:017 Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost  inhabited silence. 
19O 094:018 If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O  Jehovah, supporteth me. 
19O 094:019 In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts  delight my soul. 
19O 094:020 Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of  perverseness by statute? 
19O 094:021 They decree against the soul of the righteous, And  innocent blood declare wicked. 
19O 094:022 And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for  a rock -- my refuge, 
19O 094:023 And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their  wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off! 
19O 095:001 Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our  salvation. 
19O 095:002 We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we  shout to Him. 
19O 095:003 For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all  gods. 
19O 095:004 In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the  strong places of hills [are] His. 
19O 095:005 Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the  dry land. 
19O 095:006 Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before  Jehovah our Maker. 
19O 095:007 For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, And  the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken, 
19O 095:008 Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of  Massah in the wilderness, 
19O 095:009 Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have  seen My work. 
19O 095:010 Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A  people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My  ways:' 
19O 095:011 Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest  -- !' 
19O 096:001 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth. 
19O 096:002 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day  His salvation. 
19O 096:003 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His  wonders. 
19O 096:004 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He  [is] over all gods. 
19O 096:005 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah  made the heavens. 
19O 096:006 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in  His sanctuary. 
19O 096:007 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to  Jehovah honour and strength. 
19O 096:008 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a  present and come in to His courts. 
19O 096:009 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be  afraid of His presence, all the earth. 
19O 096:010 Say among nations, `Jehovah hath reigned, Also --  established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in  uprightness.' 
19O 096:011 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its  fulness roar. 
19O 096:012 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do  all trees of the forest, 
19O 096:013 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to  judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the  peoples in His faithfulness! 
19O 097:001 Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles  rejoice. 
19O 097:002 Cloud and darkness [are] round about Him, Righteousness and  judgment the basis of His throne. 
19O 097:003 Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His  adversaries. 
19O 097:004 Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath  seen, and is pained. 
19O 097:005 Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of  all the earth. 
19O 097:006 The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples  have seen His honour. 
19O 097:007 Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting  themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods. 
19O 097:008 Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are  joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah. 
19O 097:009 For Thou, Jehovah, [art] Most High over all the earth,  Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods. 
19O 097:010 Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of  His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them. 
19O 097:011 Light [is] sown for the righteous, And for the upright of  heart -- joy. 
19O 097:012 Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the  remembrance of his holiness! 
19O 098:001 A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath  done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy  arm. 
19O 098:002 Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of  the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness, 
19O 098:003 He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to  the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation  of our God. 
19O 098:004 Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry  aloud, and sing. 
19O 098:005 Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise, 
19O 098:006 With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the  king Jehovah. 
19O 098:007 Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the  inhabitants in it. 
19O 098:008 Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud, 
19O 098:009 Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He  judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in  uprightness! 
19O 099:001 Jehovah hath reigned, peoples tremble, The Inhabitant of  the cherubs, the earth shaketh. 
19O 099:002 Jehovah in Zion [is] great, And high He [is] over all the  peoples. 
19O 099:003 They praise Thy name, `Great, and fearful, holy [it] is.' 
19O 099:004 And the strength of the king Hath loved judgment, Thou --  Thou hast established uprightness; Judgment and righteousness  in Jacob, Thou -- Thou hast done. 
19O 099:005 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His  footstool, holy [is] He. 
19O 099:006 Moses and Aaron among His priests, And Samuel among those  proclaiming His name. They are calling unto Jehovah, And He  doth answer them. 
19O 099:007 In a pillar of cloud He speaketh unto them, They have kept  His testimonies, And the statute He hath given to them. 
19O 099:008 O Jehovah, our God, Thou hast afflicted them, A God  forgiving Thou hast been to them, And taking vengeance on their  actions. 
19O 099:009 Exalt ye Jehovah our God, And bow yourselves at His holy  hill, For holy [is] Jehovah our God! 
19O 100:001 A Psalm of Thanksgiving. Shout to Jehovah, all the earth. 
19O 100:002 Serve Jehovah with joy, come before him with singing. 
19O 100:003 Know that Jehovah He [is] God, He made us, and we are His,  His people -- and the flock of His pasture. 
19O 100:004 Enter ye His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with  praise, Give ye thanks to Him, bless ye His Name. 
19O 100:005 For good [is] Jehovah, to the age His kindness, And to  generation and generation His faithfulness! 
19O 101:001 A Psalm of David. Kindness and judgment I sing, To Thee, O  Jehovah, I sing praise. 
19O 101:002 I act wisely in a perfect way, When dost Thou come in unto  me? I walk habitually in the integrity of my heart, In the  midst of my house. 
19O 101:003 I set not before mine eyes a worthless thing, The work of  those turning aside I have hated, It adhereth not to me. 
19O 101:004 A perverse heart turneth aside from me, Wickedness I know  not. 
19O 101:005 Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off,  The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not. 
19O 101:006 Mine eyes are on the faithful of the land, To dwell with  me, Whoso is walking in a perfect way, he serveth me. 
19O 101:007 He dwelleth not in my house who is working deceit, Whoso  is speaking lies Is not established before mine eyes. 
19O 101:008 At morning I cut off all the wicked of the land, To cut  off from the city of Jehovah All the workers of iniquity! 
19O 102:001 A Prayer of the afflicted when he is feeble, and before  Jehovah poureth out his plaint. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, yea,  my cry to Thee cometh. 
19O 102:002 Hide not Thou Thy face from me, In a day of mine  adversity, Incline unto me Thine ear, In the day I call, haste,  answer me. 
19O 102:003 For consumed in smoke have been my days, And my bones as a  fire-brand have burned. 
19O 102:004 Smitten as the herb, and withered, is my heart, For I have  forgotten to eat my bread. 
19O 102:005 From the voice of my sighing Hath my bone cleaved to my  flesh. 
19O 102:006 I have been like to a pelican of the wilderness, I have  been as an owl of the dry places. 
19O 102:007 I have watched, and I am As a bird alone on the roof. 
19O 102:008 All the day mine enemies reproached me, Those mad at me  have sworn against me. 
19O 102:009 Because ashes as bread I have eaten, And my drink with  weeping have mingled, 
19O 102:010 From Thine indignation and Thy wrath, For Thou hast  lifted me up, And dost cast me down. 
19O 102:011 My days as a shadow [are] stretched out, And I -- as the  herb I am withered. 
19O 102:012 And Thou, O Jehovah, to the age abidest, And Thy memorial  to all generations. 
19O 102:013 Thou -- Thou risest -- Thou pitiest Zion, For the time to  favour her, For the appointed time hath come. 
19O 102:014 For Thy servants have been pleased with her stones, And  her dust they favour. 
19O 102:015 And nations fear the name of Jehovah, And all kings of  the earth Thine honour, 
19O 102:016 For Jehovah hath builded Zion, He hath been seen in His  honour, 
19O 102:017 He turned unto the prayer of the destitute, And He hath  not despised their prayer. 
19O 102:018 This is written for a later generation, And the people  created do praise Jah. 
19O 102:019 For He hath looked From the high place of His sanctuary.  Jehovah from heaven unto earth looked attentively, 
19O 102:020 To hear the groan of the prisoner, To loose sons of  death, 
19O 102:021 To declare in Zion the name of Jehovah, And His praise in  Jerusalem, 
19O 102:022 In the peoples being gathered together, And the kingdoms  -- to serve Jehovah. 
19O 102:023 He hath humbled in the way my power, He hath shortened my  days. 
19O 102:024 I say, `My God, take me not up in the midst of my days,'  Through all generations [are] Thine years. 
19O 102:025 Beforetime the earth Thou didst found, And the work of  Thy hands [are] the heavens. 
19O 102:026 They -- They perish, and Thou remainest, And all of them  as a garment become old, As clothing Thou changest them, And  they are changed. 
19O 102:027 And Thou [art] the same, and Thine years are not  finished. 
19O 102:028 The sons of Thy servants do continue, And their seed  before Thee is established! 
19O 103:001 By David. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And all my inward  parts -- His Holy Name. 
19O 103:002 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah, And forget not all His  benefits, 
19O 103:003 Who is forgiving all thine iniquities, Who is healing all  thy diseases, 
19O 103:004 Who is redeeming from destruction thy life, Who is  crowning thee -- kindness and mercies, 
19O 103:005 Who is satisfying with good thy desire, Renew itself as an  eagle doth thy youth. 
19O 103:006 Jehovah is doing righteousness and judgments For all the  oppressed. 
19O 103:007 He maketh known His ways to Moses, To the sons of Israel  His acts. 
19O 103:008 Merciful and gracious [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and  abundant in mercy. 
19O 103:009 Not for ever doth He strive, Nor to the age doth He watch. 
19O 103:010 Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor  according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us. 
19O 103:011 For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth,  His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him. 
19O 103:012 As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us  our transgressions. 
19O 103:013 As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on  those fearing Him. 
19O 103:014 For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are]  dust. 
19O 103:015 Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the  field so he flourisheth; 
19O 103:016 For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its  place doth not discern it any more. 
19O 103:017 And the kindness of Jehovah [Is] from age even unto age  on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons, 
19O 103:018 To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering  His precepts to do them. 
19O 103:019 Jehovah in the heavens Hath established His throne, And  His kingdom over all hath ruled. 
19O 103:020 Bless Jehovah, ye His messengers, Mighty in power --  doing His word, To hearken to the voice of His Word. 
19O 103:021 Bless Jehovah, all ye His hosts, His ministers -- doing  His pleasure. 
19O 103:022 Bless Jehovah, all ye His works, In all places of His  dominion. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! 
19O 104:001 Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been  very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on. 
19O 104:002 Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out  the heavens as a curtain, 
19O 104:003 Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the  waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking  on wings of wind, 
19O 104:004 Making His messengers -- the winds, His ministers -- the  flaming fire. 
19O 104:005 He hath founded earth on its bases, It is not moved to the  age and for ever. 
19O 104:006 The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above  hills do waters stand. 
19O 104:007 From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder  haste away. 
19O 104:008 They go up hills -- they go down valleys, Unto a place  Thou hast founded for them. 
19O 104:009 A border Thou hast set, they pass not over, They turn not  back to cover the earth. 
19O 104:010 Who is sending forth fountains in valleys, Between hills  they go on. 
19O 104:011 They water every beast of the field, Wild asses break  their thirst. 
19O 104:012 By them the fowl of the heavens doth dwell, From between  the branches They give forth the voice. 
19O 104:013 Watering hills from His upper chambers, From the fruit of  Thy works is the earth satisfied. 
19O 104:014 Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the  service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth, 
19O 104:015 And wine -- it rejoiceth the heart of man, To cause the  face to shine from oil, And bread -- the heart of man it  supporteth. 
19O 104:016 Satisfied [are] the trees of Jehovah, Cedars of Lebanon  that He hath planted, 
19O 104:017 Where birds do make nests, The stork -- the firs [are]  her house. 
19O 104:018 The high hills [are] for wild goats, Rocks [are] a refuge  for conies, 
19O 104:019 He made the moon for seasons, The sun hath known his  place of entrance. 
19O 104:020 Thou settest darkness, and it is night, In it doth every  beast of the forest creep. 
19O 104:021 The young lions are roaring for prey, And to seek from  God their food. 
19O 104:022 The sun riseth, they are gathered, And in their dens they  crouch. 
19O 104:023 Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till  evening. 
19O 104:024 How many have been Thy works, O Jehovah, All of them in  wisdom Thou hast made, Full is the earth of thy possessions. 
19O 104:025 This, the sea, great and broad of sides, There [are]  moving things -- innumerable, Living creatures -- small with  great. 
19O 104:026 There do ships go: leviathan, That Thou hast formed to  play in it. 
19O 104:027 All of them unto Thee do look, To give their food in its  season. 
19O 104:028 Thou dost give to them -- they gather, Thou dost open Thy  hand -- they [are] satisfied [with] good. 
19O 104:029 Thou hidest Thy face -- they are troubled, Thou gatherest  their spirit -- they expire, And unto their dust they turn  back. 
19O 104:030 Thou sendest out Thy Spirit, they are created, And Thou  renewest the face of the ground. 
19O 104:031 The honour of Jehovah is to the age, Jehovah rejoiceth in  His works, 
19O 104:032 Who is looking to earth, and it trembleth, He cometh  against hills, and they smoke. 
19O 104:033 I sing to Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God  while I exist. 
19O 104:034 Sweet is my meditation on Him, I -- I do rejoice in  Jehovah. 
19O 104:035 Consumed are sinners from the earth, And the wicked are  no more. Bless, O my soul, Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah! 
19O 105:001 Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make  known among the peoples His acts. 
19O 105:002 Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all  His wonders. 
19O 105:003 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those  seeking Jehovah rejoiceth. 
19O 105:004 Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face  continually. 
19O 105:005 Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the  judgments of His mouth. 
19O 105:006 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His  chosen ones. 
19O 105:007 He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His  judgments. 
19O 105:008 He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He  commanded to a thousand generations, 
19O 105:009 That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac, 
19O 105:010 And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel  -- a covenant age-during, 
19O 105:011 Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion  of your inheritance,' 
19O 105:012 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners  in it. 
19O 105:013 And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a  kingdom unto another people. 
19O 105:014 He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth  for their sakes kings. 
19O 105:015 `Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do  not evil.' 
19O 105:016 And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of  bread He hath broken. 
19O 105:017 He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph  been sold. 
19O 105:018 They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath  entered his soul, 
19O 105:019 Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of  Jehovah hath tried him. 
19O 105:020 The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the  peoples, and draweth him out. 
19O 105:021 He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all  his possessions. 
19O 105:022 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he  maketh wise. 
19O 105:023 And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned  in the land of Ham. 
19O 105:024 And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it  mightier than its adversaries. 
19O 105:025 He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire  against His servants. 
19O 105:026 He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed  on. 
19O 105:027 They have set among them the matters of His signs, And  wonders in the land of Ham. 
19O 105:028 He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not  provoked His word. 
19O 105:029 He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to  death their fish. 
19O 105:030 Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner  chambers of their kings. 
19O 105:031 He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their  border. 
19O 105:032 He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in  their land. 
19O 105:033 And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth  the trees of their border. 
19O 105:034 He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm  -- innumerable, 
19O 105:035 And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it  consumeth the fruit of their ground. 
19O 105:036 And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The  first-fruit of all their strength, 
19O 105:037 And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is  not in its tribes a feeble one. 
19O 105:038 Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear  had fallen upon them. 
19O 105:039 He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to  enlighten the night. 
19O 105:040 They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread  of heaven satisfieth them. 
19O 105:041 He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone  on in dry places -- a river. 
19O 105:042 For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His  servant, 
19O 105:043 And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing  His chosen ones. 
19O 105:044 And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the  labour of peoples they possess, 
19O 105:045 That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may  keep. Praise ye Jehovah! 
19O 106:001 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to  the age, [is] His kindness. 
19O 106:002 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all  His praise? 
19O 106:003 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing  righteousness at all times. 
19O 106:004 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people,  Look after me in Thy salvation. 
19O 106:005 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the  joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance. 
19O 106:006 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely,  we have done wickedly. 
19O 106:007 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy  wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind  acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph. 
19O 106:008 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His  might, 
19O 106:009 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And  causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness. 
19O 106:010 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating,  And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy. 
19O 106:011 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not  been left. 
19O 106:012 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise, 
19O 106:013 They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not  waited for His counsel. 
19O 106:014 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a  desert. 
19O 106:015 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness  into their soul. 
19O 106:016 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron,  Jehovah's holy one. 
19O 106:017 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth  over the company of Abiram. 
19O 106:018 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on  fire the wicked. 
19O 106:019 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten  image, 
19O 106:020 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating  herbs. 
19O 106:021 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great  things in Egypt, 
19O 106:022 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things  by the sea of Suph. 
19O 106:023 And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen  one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath  from destroying. 
19O 106:024 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not  given credence to His word. 
19O 106:025 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened  to the voice of Jehovah. 
19O 106:026 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall  in a wilderness, 
19O 106:027 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to  scatter them through lands. 
19O 106:028 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices  of the dead, 
19O 106:029 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague  breaketh forth upon them, 
19O 106:030 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the  plague is restrained, 
19O 106:031 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all  generations -- unto the age. 
19O 106:032 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is  evil to Moses for their sakes, 
19O 106:033 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh  wrongfully with his lips. 
19O 106:034 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said  to them, 
19O 106:035 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works, 
19O 106:036 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare. 
19O 106:037 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to  destroyers, 
19O 106:038 And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and  of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of  Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood. 
19O 106:039 And they are defiled with their works, And commit  whoredom in their habitual doings. 
19O 106:040 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people,  And He doth abominate His inheritance. 
19O 106:041 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those  hating them rule over them, 
19O 106:042 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled  under their hand. 
19O 106:043 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their  counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity. 
19O 106:044 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their  cry, 
19O 106:045 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted,  According to the abundance of His kindness. 
19O 106:046 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their  captors. 
19O 106:047 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the  nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy  praise. 
19O 106:048 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even  unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!' 
19O 107:001 `Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is]  His kindness:' 
19O 107:002 Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the  hand of an adversary. 
19O 107:003 And from the lands hath gathered them, From east and from  west, From north, and from the sea. 
19O 107:004 They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, A  city of habitation they have not found. 
19O 107:005 Hungry -- yea -- thirsty, Their soul in them becometh  feeble, 
19O 107:006 And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their  distress He delivereth them, 
19O 107:007 And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a  city of habitation. 
19O 107:008 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to  the sons of men. 
19O 107:009 For He hath satisfied a longing soul, And a hungry soul  hath filled [with] goodness. 
19O 107:010 Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of  affliction and of iron, 
19O 107:011 Because they changed the saying of God, And the counsel  of the Most High despised. 
19O 107:012 And He humbleth with labour their heart, They have been  feeble, and there is no helper. 
19O 107:013 And they cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their  distresses He saveth them. 
19O 107:014 He bringeth them out from the dark place, And  death-shade, And their bands He draweth away. 
19O 107:015 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to  the sons of men. 
19O 107:016 For He hath broken doors of brass, And bars of iron He  hath cut. 
19O 107:017 Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their  iniquities, afflict themselves. 
19O 107:018 All food doth their soul abominate, And they come nigh  unto the gates of death, 
19O 107:019 And cry unto Jehovah in their adversity, From their  distresses He saveth them, 
19O 107:020 He sendeth His word and healeth them, And delivereth from  their destructions. 
19O 107:021 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to  the sons of men, 
19O 107:022 And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And  recount His works with singing. 
19O 107:023 Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in  many waters, 
19O 107:024 They have seen the works of Jehovah, And His wonders in  the deep. 
19O 107:025 And He saith, and appointeth a tempest, And it lifteth up  its billows, 
19O 107:026 They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the  depths, Their soul in evil is melted. 
19O 107:027 They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all  their wisdom is swallowed up. 
19O 107:028 And they cry to Jehovah in their adversity, And from  their distresses He bringeth them out. 
19O 107:029 He establisheth a whirlwind to a calm, And hushed are  their billows. 
19O 107:030 And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leadeth  them to the haven of their desire. 
19O 107:031 They confess to Jehovah His kindness, And His wonders to  the sons of men, 
19O 107:032 And they exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And in  the seat of the elders praise Him. 
19O 107:033 He maketh rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of  waters become dry land. 
19O 107:034 A fruitful land becometh a barren place, For the  wickedness of its inhabitants. 
19O 107:035 He maketh a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry  land become fountains of waters. 
19O 107:036 And He causeth the hungry to dwell there, And they  prepare a city of habitation. 
19O 107:037 And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make  fruits of increase. 
19O 107:038 And He blesseth them, and they multiply exceedingly, And  their cattle He doth not diminish. 
19O 107:039 And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint,  evil, and sorrow. 
19O 107:040 He is pouring contempt upon nobles, And causeth them to  wander in vacancy -- no way. 
19O 107:041 And setteth on high the needy from affliction, And  placeth families as a flock. 
19O 107:042 The upright do see and rejoice, And all perversity hath  shut her mouth. 
19O 107:043 Who [is] wise, and observeth these? They understand the  kind acts of Jehovah! 
19O 108:001 A Song, a Psalm of David. Prepared is my heart, O God, I  sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour. 
19O 108:002 Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn. 
19O 108:003 I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise Thee  among the nations. 
19O 108:004 For great above the heavens [is] Thy kindness, And unto  the clouds Thy truth. 
19O 108:005 Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all  the earth Thy honour. 
19O 108:006 That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy  right hand, and answer us. 
19O 108:007 God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult, I apportion  Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure, 
19O 108:008 Mine [is] Gilead, mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the  strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver, 
19O 108:009 Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe,  Over Philistia I shout habitually. 
19O 108:010 Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me  unto Edom? 
19O 108:011 Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not  out, O God, with our hosts! 
19O 108:012 Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation  of man. 
19O 108:013 In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our  adversaries! 
19O 109:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. O God of my praise,  be not silent, 
19O 109:002 For the mouth of wickedness, and the mouth of deceit,  Against me they have opened, They have spoken with me -- A  tongue of falsehood, and words of hatred! 
19O 109:003 They have compassed me about, And they fight me without  cause. 
19O 109:004 For my love they oppose me, and I -- prayer! 
19O 109:005 And they set against me evil for good, And hatred for my  love. 
19O 109:006 Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary  standeth at his right hand. 
19O 109:007 In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer  is for sin. 
19O 109:008 His days are few, his oversight another taketh, 
19O 109:009 His sons are fatherless, and his wife a widow. 
19O 109:010 And wander continually do his sons, Yea, they have  begged, And have sought out of their dry places. 
19O 109:011 An exactor layeth a snare for all that he hath, And  strangers spoil his labour. 
19O 109:012 He hath none to extend kindness, Nor is there one showing  favour to his orphans. 
19O 109:013 His posterity is for cutting off, In another generation  is their name blotted out. 
19O 109:014 The iniquity of his fathers Is remembered unto Jehovah,  And the sin of his mother is not blotted out. 
19O 109:015 They are before Jehovah continually, And He cutteth off  from earth their memorial. 
19O 109:016 Because that he hath not remembered to do kindness, And  pursueth the poor man and needy, And the smitten of heart -- to  slay, 
19O 109:017 And he loveth reviling, and it meeteth him, And he hath  not delighted in blessing, And it is far from him. 
19O 109:018 And he putteth on reviling as his robe, And it cometh in  as water into his midst, And as oil into his bones. 
19O 109:019 It is to him as apparel -- he covereth himself, And for a  continual girdle he girdeth it on. 
19O 109:020 This [is] the wage of mine accusers from Jehovah, And of  those speaking evil against my soul. 
19O 109:021 And Thou, O Jehovah Lord, Deal with me for Thy name's  sake, Because Thy kindness [is] good, deliver me. 
19O 109:022 For I [am] poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced  in my midst. 
19O 109:023 As a shadow when it is stretched out I have gone, I have  been driven away as a locust. 
19O 109:024 My knees have been feeble from fasting, And my flesh hath  failed of fatness. 
19O 109:025 And I -- I have been a reproach to them, They see me,  they shake their head. 
19O 109:026 Help me, O Jehovah my God, Save me, according to Thy  kindness. 
19O 109:027 And they know that this [is] Thy hand, Thou, O Jehovah,  Thou hast done it. 
19O 109:028 They revile, and Thou dost bless, They have risen, and  are ashamed, And Thy servant doth rejoice. 
19O 109:029 Mine accusers put on blushing, and are covered, As an  upper robe [is] their shame. 
19O 109:030 I thank Jehovah greatly with my mouth, And in the midst  of many I praise Him, 
19O 109:031 For He standeth at the right hand of the needy, To save  from those judging his soul. 
19O 110:001 A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord:  `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy  footstool.' 
19O 110:002 The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule  in the midst of thine enemies. 
19O 110:003 Thy people [are] free-will gifts in the day of Thy  strength, in the honours of holiness, From the womb, from the  morning, Thou hast the dew of thy youth. 
19O 110:004 Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou [art] a  priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.' 
19O 110:005 The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His  anger. 
19O 110:006 He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the  carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth. 
19O 110:007 From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth  lift up the head! 
19O 111:001 Praise ye Jah! I thank Jehovah with the whole heart, In  the secret meeting of the upright, And of the company. 
19O 111:002 Great [are] the works of Jehovah, Sought out by all  desiring them. 
19O 111:003 Honourable and majestic is His work, And His righteousness  is standing for ever. 
19O 111:004 A memorial He hath made of His wonders, Gracious and  merciful [is] Jehovah. 
19O 111:005 Prey He hath given to those fearing Him, He remembereth to  the age His covenant. 
19O 111:006 The power of His works He hath declared to His people, To  give to them the inheritance of nations. 
19O 111:007 The works of His hands [are] true and just, Stedfast [are]  all His appointments. 
19O 111:008 They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in  truth and uprightness. 
19O 111:009 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed  to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name. 
19O 111:010 The beginning of wisdom [is] fear of Jehovah, Good  understanding have all doing them, His praise [is] standing for  ever! 
19O 112:001 Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In  His commands he hath delighted greatly. 
19O 112:002 Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the  upright is blessed. 
19O 112:003 Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his  righteousness is standing for ever. 
19O 112:004 Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and  merciful, and righteous. 
19O 112:005 Good [is] the man -- gracious and lending, He sustaineth  his matters in judgment. 
19O 112:006 For -- to the age he is not moved; For a memorial  age-during is the righteous. 
19O 112:007 Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart,  confident in Jehovah. 
19O 112:008 Sustained is his heart -- he feareth not, Till that he  look on his adversaries. 
19O 112:009 He hath scattered -- hath given to the needy, His  righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with  honour. 
19O 112:010 The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he  gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth  perish! 
19O 113:001 Praise ye Jah! Praise, ye servants of Jehovah. Praise the  name of Jehovah. 
19O 113:002 The name of Jehovah is blessed, From henceforth, and unto  the age. 
19O 113:003 From the rising of the sun unto its going in, Praised [is]  the name of Jehovah. 
19O 113:004 High above all nations [is] Jehovah, Above the heavens  [is] his honour. 
19O 113:005 Who [is] as Jehovah our God, He is exalting [Himself] to  sit? 
19O 113:006 He is humbling [Himself] to look On the heavens and on the  earth. 
19O 113:007 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill  He exalteth the needy. 
19O 113:008 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His  people. 
19O 113:009 Causing the barren one of the house to sit, A joyful  mother of sons; praise ye Jah! 
19O 114:001 In the going out of Israel from Egypt, The house of Jacob  from a strange people, 
19O 114:002 Judah became His sanctuary, Israel his dominion. 
19O 114:003 The sea hath seen, and fleeth, The Jordan turneth  backward. 
19O 114:004 The mountains have skipped as rams, Heights as sons of a  flock. 
19O 114:005 What -- to thee, O sea, that thou fleest? O Jordan, thou  turnest back! 
19O 114:006 O mountains, ye skip as rams! O heights, as sons of a  flock! 
19O 114:007 From before the Lord be afraid, O earth, From before the  God of Jacob, 
19O 114:008 He is turning the rock to a pool of waters, The flint to a  fountain of waters! 
19O 115:001 Not to us, O Jehovah, not to us, But to Thy name give  honour, For Thy kindness, for Thy truth. 
19O 115:002 Why do the nations say, `Where, pray, [is] their God. 
19O 115:003 And our God [is] in the heavens, All that He hath pleased  He hath done. 
19O 115:004 Their idols [are] silver and gold, work of man's hands, 
19O 115:005 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have, and  they see not, 
19O 115:006 Ears they have, and they hear not, A nose they have, and  they smell not, 
19O 115:007 Their hands, but they handle not, Their feet, and they  walk not; 
19O 115:008 Nor do they mutter through their throat, Like them are  their makers, Every one who is trusting in them. 
19O 115:009 O Israel, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their shield  [is] He.' 
19O 115:010 O house of Aaron, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and their  shield [is] He.' 
19O 115:011 Ye fearing Jehovah, trust in Jehovah, `Their help and  their shield [is] He.' 
19O 115:012 Jehovah hath remembered us, He blesseth, He blesseth the  house of Israel, He blesseth the house of Aaron, 
19O 115:013 He blesseth those fearing Jehovah, The small with the  great. 
19O 115:014 Jehovah addeth to you, to you, and to your sons. 
19O 115:015 Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, 
19O 115:016 The heavens -- the heavens [are] Jehovah's, And the earth  He hath given to sons of men, 
19O 115:017 The dead praise not Jah, Nor any going down to silence. 
19O 115:018 And we, we bless Jah, From henceforth, and unto the age.  Praise ye Jah! 
19O 116:001 I have loved, because Jehovah heareth My voice, my  supplication, 
19O 116:002 Because He hath inclined His ear to me, And during my days  I call. 
19O 116:003 Compassed me have cords of death, And straits of Sheol  have found me, Distress and sorrow I find. 
19O 116:004 And in the name of Jehovah I call: I pray Thee, O Jehovah,  deliver my soul, 
19O 116:005 Gracious [is] Jehovah, and righteous, Yea, our God [is]  merciful, 
19O 116:006 A preserver of the simple [is] Jehovah, I was low, and to  me He giveth salvation. 
19O 116:007 Turn back, O my soul, to thy rest, For Jehovah hath  conferred benefits on thee. 
19O 116:008 For Thou hast delivered my soul from death, My eyes from  tears, my feet from overthrowing. 
19O 116:009 I walk habitually before Jehovah In the lands of the  living. 
19O 116:010 I have believed, for I speak, I -- I have been afflicted  greatly. 
19O 116:011 I said in my haste, `Every man [is] a liar.' 
19O 116:012 What do I return to Jehovah? All His benefits [are] upon  me. 
19O 116:013 The cup of salvation I lift up, And in the name of  Jehovah I call. 
19O 116:014 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before  all His people. 
19O 116:015 Precious in the eyes of Jehovah [is] the death for His  saints. 
19O 116:016 Cause [it] to come, O Jehovah, for I [am] Thy servant. I  [am] Thy servant, son of Thy handmaid, Thou hast opened my  bonds. 
19O 116:017 To Thee I sacrifice a sacrifice of thanks, And in the  name of Jehovah I call. 
19O 116:018 My vows to Jehovah let me complete, I pray you, before  all His people, 
19O 116:019 In the courts of the house of Jehovah, In thy midst, O  Jerusalem, praise ye Jah! 
19O 117:001 Praise Jehovah, all ye nations, Glorify Him, all ye  peoples. 
19O 117:002 For mighty to us hath been His kindness, And the truth of  Jehovah [is] to the age. Praise ye Jah! 
19O 118:001 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 118:002 I pray you, let Israel say, That, to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 118:003 I pray you, let the house of Aaron say, That, to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 118:004 I pray you, let those fearing Jehovah say, That, to the  age [is] His kindness. 
19O 118:005 From the straitness I called Jah, Jah answered me in a  broad place. 
19O 118:006 Jehovah [is] for me, I do not fear what man doth to me. 
19O 118:007 Jehovah [is] for me among my helpers, And I -- I look on  those hating me. 
19O 118:008 Better to take refuge in Jehovah than to trust in man, 
19O 118:009 Better to take refuge in Jehovah, Than to trust in  princes. 
19O 118:010 All nations have compassed me about, In the name of  Jehovah I surely cut them off. 
19O 118:011 They have compassed me about, Yea, they have compassed me  about, In the name of Jehovah I surely cut them off. 
19O 118:012 They compassed me about as bees, They have been  extinguished as a fire of thorns, In the name of Jehovah I  surely cut them off. 
19O 118:013 Thou hast sorely thrust me to fall, And Jehovah hath  helped me. 
19O 118:014 My strength and song [is] Jah, And He is to me for  salvation. 
19O 118:015 A voice of singing and salvation, [Is] in the tents of  the righteous, The right hand of Jehovah is doing valiantly. 
19O 118:016 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, The right hand of  Jehovah is doing valiantly. 
19O 118:017 I do not die, but live, And recount the works of Jah, 
19O 118:018 Jah hath sorely chastened me, And to death hath not given  me up. 
19O 118:019 Open ye to me gates of righteousness, I enter into them  -- I thank Jah. 
19O 118:020 This [is] the gate to Jehovah, The righteous enter into  it. 
19O 118:021 I thank Thee, for Thou hast answered me, And art to me  for salvation. 
19O 118:022 A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a  corner. 
19O 118:023 From Jehovah hath this been, It [is] wonderful in our  eyes, 
19O 118:024 This [is] the day Jehovah hath made, We rejoice and are  glad in it. 
19O 118:025 I beseech Thee, O Jehovah, save, I pray Thee, I beseech  Thee, O Jehovah, prosper, I pray Thee. 
19O 118:026 Blessed [is] he who is coming In the name of Jehovah, We  blessed you from the house of Jehovah, 
19O 118:027 God [is] Jehovah, and He giveth to us light, Direct ye  the festal-sacrifice with cords, Unto the horns of the altar. 
19O 118:028 My God Thou [art], and I confess Thee, My God, I exalt  Thee. 
19O 118:029 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is]  His kindness! 
19O 119:001 [Aleph.] O the happiness of those perfect in the way, They  are walking in the law of Jehovah, 
19O 119:002 O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the  whole heart they seek Him. 
19O 119:003 Yea, they have not done iniquity, In His ways they have  walked. 
19O 119:004 Thou hast commanded us Thy precepts to keep diligently, 
19O 119:005 O that my ways were prepared to keep Thy statutes, 
19O 119:006 Then I am not ashamed In my looking unto all Thy commands. 
19O 119:007 I confess Thee with uprightness of heart, In my learning  the judgments of Thy righteousness. 
19O 119:008 Thy statutes I keep, leave me not utterly! 
19O 119:009 [Beth.] With what doth a young man purify his path? To  observe -- according to Thy word. 
19O 119:010 With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from  Thy commands. 
19O 119:011 In my heart I have hid Thy saying, That I sin not before  Thee. 
19O 119:012 Blessed [art] Thou, O Jehovah, teach me Thy statutes. 
19O 119:013 With my lips I have recounted All the judgments of Thy  mouth. 
19O 119:014 In the way of Thy testimonies I have joyed, As over all  wealth. 
19O 119:015 In Thy precepts I meditate, And I behold attentively Thy  paths. 
19O 119:016 In Thy statutes I delight myself, I do not forget Thy  word. 
19O 119:017 [Gimel.] Confer benefits on Thy servant, I live, and I  keep Thy word. 
19O 119:018 Uncover mine eyes, and I behold wonders out of Thy law. 
19O 119:019 A sojourner I [am] on earth, Hide not from me Thy  commands. 
19O 119:020 Broken hath my soul for desire Unto Thy judgments at all  times. 
19O 119:021 Thou hast rebuked the cursed proud, Who are erring from  Thy commands. 
19O 119:022 Remove from me reproach and contempt, For Thy testimonies  I have kept. 
19O 119:023 Princes also sat -- against me they spoke, Thy servant  doth meditate in Thy statutes, 
19O 119:024 Thy testimonies also [are] my delight, The men of my  counsel! 
19O 119:025 [Daleth.] Cleaved to the dust hath my soul, Quicken me  according to Thy word. 
19O 119:026 My ways I have recounted, And Thou answerest me, teach me  Thy statutes, 
19O 119:027 The way of Thy precepts cause me to understand, And I  meditate in Thy wonders. 
19O 119:028 My soul hath dropped from affliction, Establish me  according to Thy word. 
19O 119:029 The way of falsehood turn aside from me And with Thy law  favour me. 
19O 119:030 The way of faithfulness I have chosen, Thy judgments I  have compared, 
19O 119:031 I have adhered to Thy testimonies, O Jehovah, put me not  to shame. 
19O 119:032 The way of Thy commands I run, For Thou dost enlarge my  heart! 
19O 119:033 [He.] Show me, O Jehovah, the way of Thy statutes, And I  keep it -- [to] the end. 
19O 119:034 Cause me to understand, and I keep Thy law, And observe  it with the whole heart. 
19O 119:035 Cause me to tread in the path of Thy commands, For in it  I have delighted. 
19O 119:036 Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, And not unto  dishonest gain. 
19O 119:037 Remove mine eyes from seeing vanity, In Thy way quicken  Thou me. 
19O 119:038 Establish to Thy servant Thy saying, That [is] concerning  Thy fear. 
19O 119:039 Remove my reproach that I have feared, For Thy judgments  [are] good. 
19O 119:040 Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness  quicken Thou me, 
19O 119:041 [Waw.] And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy  salvation according to Thy saying. 
19O 119:042 And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have  trusted in Thy word. 
19O 119:043 And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word  of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped. 
19O 119:044 And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever. 
19O 119:045 And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts  I have sought. 
19O 119:046 And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not  ashamed. 
19O 119:047 And I delight myself in Thy commands, That I have loved, 
19O 119:048 And I lift up my hands unto Thy commands, That I have  loved, And I do meditate on Thy statutes! 
19O 119:049 [Zain.] Remember the word to Thy servant, On which Thou  hast caused me to hope. 
19O 119:050 This [is] my comfort in mine affliction, That Thy saying  hath quickened me. 
19O 119:051 The proud have utterly scorned me, From Thy law I have  not turned aside. 
19O 119:052 I remembered Thy judgments of old, O Jehovah, And I  comfort myself. 
19O 119:053 Horror hath seized me, Because of the wicked forsaking  Thy law. 
19O 119:054 Songs have been to me Thy statutes, In the house of my  sojournings. 
19O 119:055 I have remembered in the night Thy name, O Jehovah, And I  do keep Thy law. 
19O 119:056 This hath been to me, That Thy precepts I have kept! 
19O 119:057 [Cheth.] My portion [is] Jehovah; I have said -- to keep  Thy words, 
19O 119:058 I appeased Thy face with the whole heart, Favour me  according to Thy saying. 
19O 119:059 I have reckoned my ways, And turn back my feet unto Thy  testimonies. 
19O 119:060 I have made haste, And delayed not, to keep Thy commands. 
19O 119:061 Cords of the wicked have surrounded me, Thy law I have  not forgotten. 
19O 119:062 At midnight I rise to give thanks to Thee, For the  judgments of Thy righteousness. 
19O 119:063 A companion I [am] to all who fear Thee, And to those  keeping Thy precepts. 
19O 119:064 Of Thy kindness, O Jehovah, the earth is full, Thy  statutes teach Thou me! 
19O 119:065 [Teth.] Good Thou didst with Thy servant, O Jehovah,  According to Thy word. 
19O 119:066 The goodness of reason and knowledge teach me, For in Thy  commands I have believed. 
19O 119:067 Before I am afflicted, I -- I am erring, And now Thy  saying I have kept. 
19O 119:068 Good Thou [art], and doing good, Teach me Thy statutes. 
19O 119:069 Forged against me falsehood have the proud, I with the  whole heart keep Thy precepts. 
19O 119:070 Insensate as fat hath been their heart, I -- in Thy law I  have delighted. 
19O 119:071 Good for me that I have been afflicted, That I might  learn Thy statutes. 
19O 119:072 Better to me [is] the law of Thy mouth Than thousands of  gold and silver! 
19O 119:073 [Yod.] Thy hands made me and establish me, Cause me to  understand, and I learn Thy commands. 
19O 119:074 Those fearing Thee see me and rejoice, Because for Thy  word I have hoped.

19O 119:077 Meet me do Thy mercies, and I live, For Thy law [is] my  delight. 
19O 119:078 Ashamed are the proud, For [with] falsehood they dealt  perversely with me. I meditate in Thy precepts. 
19O 119:079 Those fearing Thee turn back to me, And those knowing Thy  testimonies. 
19O 119:080 My heart is perfect in Thy statutes, So that I am not  ashamed. 
19O 119:081 [Kaph.] Consumed for Thy salvation hath been my soul, For  Thy word I have hoped. 
19O 119:082 Consumed have been mine eyes for Thy word, Saying, `When  doth it comfort me?' 
19O 119:083 For I have been as a bottle in smoke, Thy statutes I have  not forgotten. 
19O 119:084 How many [are] the days of Thy servant? When dost Thou  execute Against my pursuers judgment? 
19O 119:085 The proud have digged for me pits, That [are] not  according to Thy law. 
19O 119:086 All Thy commands [are] faithfulness, [With] falsehood  they have pursued me, Help Thou me. 
19O 119:087 Almost consumed me on earth have they, And I -- I have  not forsaken Thy precepts. 
19O 119:088 According to Thy kindness quicken Thou me, And I keep the  testimony of Thy mouth! 
19O 119:089 [Lamed.] To the age, O Jehovah, Thy word is set up in the  heavens. 
19O 119:090 To all generations Thy faithfulness, Thou didst establish  earth, and it standeth. 
19O 119:091 According to Thine ordinances They have stood this day,  for the whole [are] Thy servants. 
19O 119:092 Unless Thy law [were] my delights, Then had I perished in  mine affliction. 
19O 119:093 To the age I forget not Thy precepts, For by them Thou  hast quickened me. 
19O 119:094 I [am] Thine, save Thou me, For Thy precepts I have  sought. 
19O 119:095 Thy wicked waited for me to destroy me, Thy testimonies I  understand. 
19O 119:096 Of all perfection I have seen an end, Broad [is] Thy  command -- exceedingly! 
19O 119:097 [Mem.] O how I have loved Thy law! All the day it [is] my  meditation. 
19O 119:098 Than mine enemies Thy command maketh me wiser, For it  [is] before me to the age.

19O 119:100 Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have  kept. 
19O 119:101 From every evil path I restrained my feet, So that I  keep Thy word. 
19O 119:102 From Thy judgments I turned not aside, For Thou -- Thou  hast directed me. 
19O 119:103 How sweet to my palate hath been Thy saying, Above honey  to my mouth. 
19O 119:104 From Thy precepts I have understanding, Therefore I have  hated every false path! 
19O 119:105 [Nun.] A lamp to my foot [is] Thy word, And a light to  my path.

19O 119:107 I have been afflicted very much, O Jehovah, quicken me,  according to Thy word. 
19O 119:108 Free-will-offerings of my mouth, Accept, I pray Thee, O  Jehovah, And Thy judgments teach Thou me. 
19O 119:109 My soul [is] in my hand continually, And Thy law I have  not forgotten. 
19O 119:110 The wicked have laid a snare for me, And from thy  precepts I wandered not. 
19O 119:111 I have inherited Thy testimonies to the age, For the joy  of my heart [are] they. 
19O 119:112 I have inclined my heart To do Thy statutes, to the age  -- [to] the end! 
19O 119:113 [Samech.] Doubting ones I have hated, And Thy law I have  loved. 
19O 119:114 My hiding place and my shield [art] Thou, For Thy word I  have hoped. 
19O 119:115 Turn aside from me, ye evil-doers, And I keep the  commands of my God. 
19O 119:116 Sustain me according to Thy saying, And I live, and Thou  puttest me not to shame Because of my hope. 
19O 119:117 Support Thou me, and I am saved, And I look on Thy  statutes continually. 
19O 119:118 Thou hast trodden down All going astray from Thy  statutes, For falsehood [is] their deceit. 
19O 119:119 Dross! Thou hast caused to cease All the wicked of the  earth; Therefore I have loved Thy testimonies. 
19O 119:120 Trembled from Thy fear hath my flesh, And from Thy  judgments I have been afraid! 
19O 119:121 [Ain.] I have done judgment and righteousness, Leave me  not to mine oppressors. 
19O 119:122 Make sure Thy servant for good, Let not the proud  oppress me. 
19O 119:123 Mine eyes have been consumed for Thy salvation. And for  the saying of Thy righteousness. 
19O 119:124 Do with Thy servant according to Thy kindness. And Thy  statutes teach Thou me. 
19O 119:125 Thy servant [am] I -- cause me to understand, And I know  Thy testimonies. 
19O 119:126 Time for Jehovah to work! they have made void Thy law. 
19O 119:127 Therefore I have loved Thy commands Above gold -- even  fine gold. 
19O 119:128 Therefore all my appointments I have declared wholly  right, Every path of falsehood I have hated! 
19O 119:129 [Pe.] Wonderful [are] Thy testimonies, Therefore hath my  soul kept them. 
19O 119:130 The opening of Thy words enlighteneth, Instructing the  simple. 
19O 119:131 My mouth I have opened, yea, I pant, For, for Thy  commands I have longed. 
19O 119:132 Look unto me, and favour me, As customary to those  loving Thy name. 
19O 119:133 My steps establish by Thy saying, And any iniquity doth  not rule over me. 
19O 119:134 Ransom me from the oppression of man, And I observe Thy  precepts, 
19O 119:135 Thy face cause to shine on Thy servant, And teach me Thy  statutes. 
19O 119:136 Rivulets of waters have come down mine eyes, Because  they have not kept Thy law! 
19O 119:137 [Tzade.] Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And upright  [are] Thy judgments. 
19O 119:138 Thou hast appointed Thy testimonies, Righteous and  exceeding faithful, 
19O 119:139 Cut me off hath my zeal, For mine adversaries forgot Thy  words. 
19O 119:140 Tried [is] thy saying exceedingly, And Thy servant hath  loved it. 
19O 119:141 Small I [am], and despised, Thy precepts I have not  forgotten. 
19O 119:142 Thy righteousness [is] righteousness to the age, And Thy  law [is] truth. 
19O 119:143 Adversity and distress have found me, Thy commands [are]  my delights. 
19O 119:144 The righteousness of Thy testimonies [is] to Cause me to  understand, and I live! 
19O 119:145 [Koph.] I have called with the whole heart, Answer me, O  Jehovah, Thy statutes I keep, 
19O 119:146 I have called Thee, save Thou me, And I do keep Thy  testimonies. 
19O 119:147 I have gone forward in the dawn, and I cry, For Thy word  I have hoped. 
19O 119:148 Mine eyes have gone before the watches, To meditate in  Thy saying. 
19O 119:149 My voice hear, according to Thy kindness, Jehovah,  according to Thy judgment quicken me. 
19O 119:150 Near have been my wicked pursuers, From Thy law they  have been far off. 
19O 119:151 Near [art] Thou, O Jehovah, And all Thy commands [are]  truth. 
19O 119:152 Of old I have known Thy testimonies, That to the age  Thou hast founded them! 
19O 119:153 [Resh.] See my affliction, and deliver Thou me, For Thy  law I have not forgotten. 
19O 119:154 Plead my plea, and redeem me, According to Thy saying  quicken me. 
19O 119:155 Far from the wicked [is] salvation, For Thy statutes  they have not sought. 
19O 119:156 Thy mercies [are] many, O Jehovah, According to Thy  judgments quicken me. 
19O 119:157 Many [are] my pursuers, and adversaries, From Thy  testimonies I have not turned aside. 
19O 119:158 I have seen treacherous ones, And grieve myself, Because  Thy saying they have not kept. 
19O 119:159 See, for thy precepts I have loved, Jehovah, According  to Thy kindness quicken me. 
19O 119:160 The sum of Thy word [is] truth, And to the age [is]  every judgment of Thy righteousness! 
19O 119:161 [Shin.] Princes have pursued me without cause, And  because of Thy words was my heart afraid. 
19O 119:162 I do rejoice concerning Thy saying, As one finding  abundant spoil. 
19O 119:163 Falsehood I have hated, yea I abominate [it], Thy law I  have loved. 
19O 119:164 Seven [times] in a day I have praised Thee, Because of  the judgments of Thy righteousness. 
19O 119:165 Abundant peace have those loving Thy law, And they have  no stumbling-block. 
19O 119:166 I have waited for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy  commands I have done. 
19O 119:167 Kept hath my soul Thy testimonies, And I do love them  exceedingly. 
19O 119:168 I have kept Thy precepts and Thy testimonies, For all my  ways are before Thee! 
19O 119:169 [Taw.] My loud cry cometh near before Thee, O Jehovah;  According to Thy word cause me to understand. 
19O 119:170 My supplication cometh in before Thee, According to Thy  saying deliver Thou me. 
19O 119:171 My lips do utter praise, For Thou dost teach me Thy  statutes. 
19O 119:172 My tongue doth sing of Thy saying, For all Thy commands  [are] righteous. 
19O 119:173 Thy hand is for a help to me, For Thy commands I have  chosen. 
19O 119:174 I have longed for Thy salvation, O Jehovah, And Thy law  [is] my delight. 
19O 119:175 My soul liveth, and it doth praise Thee, And Thy  judgments do help me. 
19O 119:176 I wandered as a lost sheep, seek Thy servant, For Thy  precepts I have not forgotten! 
19O 120:001 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have  called, And He answereth me. 
19O 120:002 O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a  deceitful tongue! 
19O 120:003 What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O  deceitful tongue! 
19O 120:004 Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals. 
19O 120:005 Wo to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with  tents of Kedar. 
19O 120:006 Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace. 
19O 120:007 I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war! 
19O 121:001 A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills,  Whence doth my help come? 
19O 121:002 My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth, 
19O 121:003 He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver  slumbereth not. 
19O 121:004 Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving  Israel. 
19O 121:005 Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy  right hand, 
19O 121:006 By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night. 
19O 121:007 Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve  thy soul. 
19O 121:008 Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From  henceforth even unto the age! 
19O 122:001 A Song of the Ascents, by David. I have rejoiced in those  saying to me, `To the house of Jehovah we go.' 
19O 122:002 Our feet have been standing in thy gates, O Jerusalem! 
19O 122:003 Jerusalem -- the builded one -- [Is] as a city that is  joined to itself together. 
19O 122:004 For thither have tribes gone up, Tribes of Jah, companies  of Israel, To give thanks to the name of Jehovah. 
19O 122:005 For there have sat thrones of judgment, Thrones of the  house of David. 
19O 122:006 Ask ye the peace of Jerusalem, At rest are those loving  thee. 
19O 122:007 Peace is in thy bulwark, rest in thy high places, 
19O 122:008 For the sake of my brethren and my companions, Let me  speak, I pray thee, `Peace [be] in thee.' 
19O 122:009 For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God, I seek good  for thee! 
19O 123:001 A Song of the Ascents. Unto Thee I have lifted up mine  eyes, O dweller in the heavens. 
19O 123:002 Lo, as eyes of men-servants [Are] unto the hand of their  masters, As eyes of a maid-servant [Are] unto the hand of her  mistress, So [are] our eyes unto Jehovah our God, Till that He  doth favour us. 
19O 123:003 Favour us, O Jehovah, favour us, For greatly have we been  filled with contempt, 
19O 123:004 Greatly hath our soul been filled With the scorning of the  easy ones, With the contempt of the arrogant! 
19O 124:001 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Save [for] Jehovah -- who  hath been for us, (Pray, let Israel say), 
19O 124:002 Save [for] Jehovah -- who hath been for us, In the rising  up of man against us, 
19O 124:003 Then alive they had swallowed us up, In the burning of  their anger against us, 
19O 124:004 Then the waters had overflowed us, The stream passed over  our soul, 
19O 124:005 Then passed over our soul had the proud waters. 
19O 124:006 Blessed [is] Jehovah who hath not given us, A prey to  their teeth. 
19O 124:007 Our soul as a bird hath escaped from a snare of fowlers,  The snare was broken, and we have escaped. 
19O 124:008 Our help [is] in the name of Jehovah, Maker of the heavens  and earth! 
19O 125:001 A Song of the Ascents. Those trusting in Jehovah [are] as  Mount Zion, It is not moved -- to the age it abideth. 
19O 125:002 Jerusalem! mountains [are] round about her, And Jehovah  [is] round about His people, From henceforth even unto the age. 
19O 125:003 For the rod of wickedness resteth not On the lot of the  righteous, That the righteous put not forth on iniquity their  hands. 
19O 125:004 Do good, O Jehovah, to the good, And to the upright in  their hearts. 
19O 125:005 As to those turning [to] their crooked ways, Jehovah  causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel! 
19O 126:001 A Song of the Ascents. In Jehovah's turning back [to] the  captivity of Zion, We have been as dreamers. 
19O 126:002 Then filled [with] laughter is our mouth, And our tongue  [with] singing, Then do they say among nations, `Jehovah did  great things with these.' 
19O 126:003 Jehovah did great things with us, We have been joyful. 
19O 126:004 Turn again, O Jehovah, [to] our captivity, As streams in  the south. 
19O 126:005 Those sowing in tears, with singing do reap, 
19O 126:006 Whoso goeth on and weepeth, Bearing the basket of seed,  Surely cometh in with singing, bearing his sheaves! 
19O 127:001 A Song of the Ascents, by Solomon. If Jehovah doth not  build the house, In vain have its builders laboured at it, If  Jehovah doth not watch a city, In vain hath a watchman waked. 
19O 127:002 Vain for you who are rising early, Who delay sitting,  eating the bread of griefs, So He giveth to His beloved one  sleep. 
19O 127:003 Lo, an inheritance of Jehovah [are] sons, A reward [is]  the fruit of the womb. 
19O 127:004 As arrows in the hand of a mighty one, So [are] the sons  of the young men. 
19O 127:005 O the happiness of the man Who hath filled his quiver with  them, They are not ashamed, For they speak with enemies in the  gate! 
19O 128:001 A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one  fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways. 
19O 128:002 The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art]  thou, and good [is] to thee. 
19O 128:003 Thy wife [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy  house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table. 
19O 128:004 Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah. 
19O 128:005 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the  good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life, 
19O 128:006 And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel! 
19O 129:001 A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my  youth, Pray, let Israel say: 
19O 129:002 Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not  prevailed over me. 
19O 129:003 Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long  their furrows. 
19O 129:004 Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the  wicked. 
19O 129:005 Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion. 
19O 129:006 They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn  out withereth, 
19O 129:007 That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom  of a binder of sheaves. 
19O 129:008 And the passers by have not said, `The blessing of Jehovah  [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!' 
19O 130:001 A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee,  Jehovah. 
19O 130:002 Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the  voice of my supplications. 
19O 130:003 If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand? 
19O 130:004 But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be  feared. 
19O 130:005 I hoped [for] Jehovah -- hoped hath my soul, And for His  word I have waited. 
19O 130:006 My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for  morning, Watching for morning! 
19O 130:007 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is]  kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption. 
19O 130:008 And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities! 
19O 131:001 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Jehovah, my heart hath  not been haughty, Nor have mine eyes been high, Nor have I  walked in great things, And in things too wonderful for me. 
19O 131:002 Have I not compared, and kept silent my soul, As a weaned  one by its mother? As a weaned one by me [is] my soul. 
19O 131:003 Israel doth wait on Jehovah, From henceforth, and unto the  age! 
19O 132:001 A Song of the Ascents. Remember, Jehovah, for David, all  his afflictions. 
19O 132:002 Who hath sworn to Jehovah. He hath vowed to the Mighty One  of Jacob: 
19O 132:003 `If I enter into the tent of my house, If I go up on the  couch of my bed, 
19O 132:004 If I give sleep to mine eyes, To mine eyelids -- slumber, 
19O 132:005 Till I do find a place for Jehovah, Tabernacles for the  Mighty One of Jacob. 
19O 132:006 `Lo, we have heard it in Ephratah, We have found it in the  fields of the forest. 
19O 132:007 We come in to His tabernacles, We bow ourselves at His  footstool. 
19O 132:008 Arise, O Jehovah, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy  strength, 
19O 132:009 Thy priests do put on righteousness, And Thy pious ones  cry aloud. 
19O 132:010 For the sake of David Thy servant, Turn not back the face  of Thine anointed. 
19O 132:011 Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back  from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for  thee. 
19O 132:012 If thy sons keep My covenant, And My testimonies that I  teach them, Their sons also for ever and ever, Do sit on the  throne for thee. 
19O 132:013 For Jehovah hath fixed on Zion, He hath desired [it] for  a seat to Himself, 
19O 132:014 This [is] My rest for ever and ever, Here do I sit, for I  have desired it. 
19O 132:015 Her provision I greatly bless, Her needy ones I satisfy  [with] bread, 
19O 132:016 And her priests I clothe [with] salvation, And her pious  ones do sing aloud. 
19O 132:017 There I cause to spring up a horn for David, I have  arranged a lamp for Mine anointed. 
19O 132:018 His enemies I do clothe [with] shame, And upon him doth  his crown flourish! 
19O 133:001 A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how  pleasant The dwelling of brethren -- even together! 
19O 133:002 As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the  beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes, 
19O 133:003 As dew of Hermon -- That cometh down on hills of Zion, For  there Jehovah commanded the blessing -- Life unto the age! 
19O 134:001 A Song of the Ascents. Lo, bless Jehovah, all servants of  Jehovah, Who are standing in the house of Jehovah by night. 
19O 134:002 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, And bless ye  Jehovah. 
19O 134:003 Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, The maker of the  heavens and earth! 
19O 135:001 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye the name of Jehovah, Praise, ye  servants of Jehovah, 
19O 135:002 Who are standing in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of  the house of our God. 
19O 135:003 Praise ye Jah! for Jehovah [is] good, Sing praise to His  name, for [it is] pleasant. 
19O 135:004 For Jacob hath Jah chosen for Himself, Israel for His  peculiar treasure. 
19O 135:005 For I have known that great [is] Jehovah, Yea, our Lord  [is] above all gods. 
19O 135:006 All that Jehovah pleased He hath done, In the heavens and  in earth, In the seas and all deep places, 
19O 135:007 Causing vapours to ascend from the end of the earth,  Lightnings for the rain He hath made, Bringing forth wind from  His treasures. 
19O 135:008 Who smote the first-born of Egypt, From man unto beast. 
19O 135:009 He sent tokens and wonders into thy midst, O Egypt, On  Pharaoh and on all his servants. 
19O 135:010 Who smote many nations, and slew strong kings, 
19O 135:011 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, And Og king of Bashan,  And all kingdoms of Canaan. 
19O 135:012 And He gave their land an inheritance, An inheritance to  Israel His people, 
19O 135:013 O Jehovah, Thy name [is] to the age, O Jehovah, Thy  memorial to all generations. 
19O 135:014 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants  comforteth Himself. 
19O 135:015 The idols of the nations [are] silver and gold, Work of  the hands of man. 
19O 135:016 A mouth they have, and they speak not, Eyes they have,  and they see not, 
19O 135:017 Ears they have, and they give not ear, Nose -- there is  no breath in their mouth! 
19O 135:018 Like them are their makers, Every one who is trusting in  them. 
19O 135:019 O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah, O house of Aaron,  bless ye Jehovah, 
19O 135:020 O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah, Those fearing Jehovah,  bless ye Jehovah. 
19O 135:021 Blessed [is] Jehovah from Zion, Inhabiting Jerusalem --  praise ye Jah! 
19O 136:001 Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 136:002 Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 136:003 Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 136:004 To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the  age [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:005 To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:006 To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:007 To Him making great lights, For to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 136:008 The sun to rule by day, For to the age [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:009 The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 136:010 To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:011 And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the  age [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:012 By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:013 To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age  [is] His kindness, 
19O 136:014 And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the  age [is] His kindness, 
19O 136:015 And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph,  For to the age [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:016 To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:017 To Him smiting great kings, For to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 136:018 Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 136:019 Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 136:020 And Og king of Bashan, For to the age [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:021 And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:022 An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age [is]  His kindness. 
19O 136:023 Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:024 And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age  [is] His kindness. 
19O 136:025 Giving food to all flesh, For to the age [is] His  kindness. 
19O 136:026 Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age  [is] His kindness! 
19O 137:001 By rivers of Babylon -- There we did sit, Yea, we wept  when we remembered Zion. 
19O 137:002 On willows in its midst we hung our harps. 
19O 137:003 For there our captors asked us the words of a song, And  our spoilers -- joy: `Sing ye to us of a song of Zion.' 
19O 137:004 How do we sing the song of Jehovah, On the land of a  stranger? 
19O 137:005 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, my right hand forgetteth! 
19O 137:006 My tongue doth cleave to my palate, If I do not remember  thee, If I do not exalt Jerusalem above my chief joy. 
19O 137:007 Remember, Jehovah, for the sons of Edom, The day of  Jerusalem, Those saying, `Rase, rase to its foundation!' 
19O 137:008 O daughter of Babylon, O destroyed one, O the happiness of  him who repayeth to thee thy deed, That thou hast done to us. 
19O 137:009 O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy  sucklings on the rock! 
19O 138:001 By David. I confess Thee, with all my heart, Before the  gods I do praise Thee. 
19O 138:002 I bow myself toward Thy holy temple, And I confess Thy  name, For Thy kindness, and for Thy truth, For Thou hast made  great Thy saying above all Thy name. 
19O 138:003 In the day I called, when Thou dost answer me, Thou dost  strengthen me in my soul [with] strength. 
19O 138:004 O Jehovah, all kings of earth confess Thee, When they have  heard the sayings of Thy mouth. 
19O 138:005 And they sing in the ways of Jehovah, For great [is] the  honour of Jehovah. 
19O 138:006 For high [is] Jehovah, and the lowly He seeth, And the  haughty from afar He knoweth. 
19O 138:007 If I walk in the midst of distress Thou quickenest me,  Against the anger of mine enemies Thou sendest forth Thy hand,  And Thy right hand doth save me. 
19O 138:008 Jehovah doth perfect for me, O Jehovah, Thy kindness [is]  to the age, The works of Thy hands let not fall! 
19O 139:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm by David. Jehovah, Thou hast  searched me, and knowest. 
19O 139:002 Thou -- Thou hast known my sitting down, And my rising up,  Thou hast attended to my thoughts from afar. 
19O 139:003 My path and my couch Thou hast fanned, And [with] all my  ways hast been acquainted. 
19O 139:004 For there is not a word in my tongue, Lo, O Jehovah, Thou  hast known it all! 
19O 139:005 Behind and before Thou hast besieged me, And Thou dost  place on me Thy hand. 
19O 139:006 Knowledge too wonderful for me, It hath been set on high,  I am not able for it. 
19O 139:007 Whither do I go from Thy Spirit? And whither from Thy face  do I flee? 
19O 139:008 If I ascend the heavens -- there Thou [art], And spread  out a couch in Sheol, lo, Thee! 
19O 139:009 I take the wings of morning, I dwell in the uttermost part  of the sea, 
19O 139:010 Also there Thy hand doth lead me, And Thy right hand doth  hold me. 
19O 139:011 And I say, `Surely darkness bruiseth me, Then night [is]  light to me. 
19O 139:012 Also darkness hideth not from Thee, And night as day  shineth, as [is] darkness so [is] light. 
19O 139:013 For Thou -- Thou hast possessed my reins, Thou dost cover  me in my mother's belly. 
19O 139:014 I confess Thee, because that [with] wonders I have been  distinguished. Wonderful [are] Thy works, And my soul is  knowing [it] well. 
19O 139:015 My substance was not hid from Thee, When I was made in  secret, Curiously wrought in the lower part of earth. 
19O 139:016 Mine unformed substance Thine eyes saw, And on Thy book  all of them are written, The days they were formed -- And not  one among them. 
19O 139:017 And to me how precious have been Thy thoughts, O God, how  great hath been their sum! 
19O 139:018 I recount them! than the sand they are more, I have  waked, and I am still with Thee. 
19O 139:019 Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood,  turn aside from me! 
19O 139:020 Who exchange Thee for wickedness, Lifted up to vanity  [are] Thine enemies. 
19O 139:021 Do not I hate, Jehovah, those hating Thee? And with Thy  withstanders grieve myself? 
19O 139:022 [With] perfect hatred I have hated them, Enemies they  have become to me. 
19O 139:023 Search me, O God, and know my heart, Try me, and know my  thoughts, 
19O 139:024 And see if a grievous way be in me, And lead me in a way  age-during! 
19O 140:001 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O  Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest  me. 
19O 140:002 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they  assemble [for] wars. 
19O 140:003 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an  adder [is] under their lips. Selah. 
19O 140:004 Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From  one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow  my steps. 
19O 140:005 The proud hid a snare for me -- and cords, They spread a  net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me.  Selah. 
19O 140:006 I have said to Jehovah, `My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah,  the voice of my supplications.' 
19O 140:007 O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast  covered my head in the day of armour. 
19O 140:008 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His  wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah. 
19O 140:009 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their  lips covereth them. 
19O 140:010 They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire  He doth cast them, Into deep pits -- they arise not. 
19O 140:011 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of  violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing. 
19O 140:012 I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of  the afflicted, The judgment of the needy. 
19O 140:013 Only -- the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The  upright do dwell with Thy presence! 
19O 141:001 A Psalm, by David. O Jehovah, I have called Thee, haste to  me, Give ear [to] my voice when I call to Thee. 
19O 141:002 My prayer is prepared -- incense before Thee, The lifting  up of my hands -- the evening present. 
19O 141:003 Set, O Jehovah, a watch for my mouth, Watch Thou over the  door of my lips. 
19O 141:004 Incline not my heart to an evil thing, To do habitually  actions in wickedness, With men working iniquity, Yea, I eat  not of their pleasant things. 
19O 141:005 The righteous doth beat me [in] kindness. And doth reprove  me, Oil of the head my head disalloweth not, For still my  prayer [is] about their vexations. 
19O 141:006 Their judges have been released by the sides of a rock,  And they have heard my sayings, For they have been pleasant. 
19O 141:007 As one tilling and ripping up in the land, Have our bones  been scattered at the command of Saul. 
19O 141:008 But to Thee, O Jehovah, my Lord, [are] mine eyes, In Thee  I have trusted, Make not bare my soul. 
19O 141:009 Keep me from the gin they laid for me, Even snares of  workers of iniquity. 
19O 141:010 The wicked fall in their nets together, till I pass over! 
19O 142:001 An Instruction of David, a Prayer when he is in the cave.  My voice [is] unto Jehovah, I cry, My voice [is] unto Jehovah,  I entreat grace. 
19O 142:002 I pour forth before Him my meditation, My distress before  Him I declare. 
19O 142:003 When my spirit hath been feeble in me, Then Thou hast  known my path; In the way [in] which I walk, They have hid a  snare for me. 
19O 142:004 Looking on the right hand -- and seeing, And I have none  recognizing; Perished hath refuge from me, There is none  inquiring for my soul. 
19O 142:005 I have cried unto thee, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou  [art] my refuge, My portion in the land of the living.' 
19O 142:006 Attend Thou unto my loud cry, For I have become very low,  Deliver Thou me from my pursuers, For they have been stronger  than I. 
19O 142:007 Bring forth from prison my soul to confess Thy name, The  righteous do compass me about, When Thou conferrest benefits  upon me! 
19O 143:001 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, hear my prayer, Give ear unto  my supplications, In Thy faithfulness answer me -- in Thy  righteousness. 
19O 143:002 And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one  living is justified before Thee. 
19O 143:003 For an enemy hath pursued my soul, He hath bruised to the  earth my life, He hath caused me to dwell in dark places, As  the dead of old. 
19O 143:004 And my spirit in me is become feeble, Within me is my  heart become desolate. 
19O 143:005 I have remembered days of old, I have meditated on all  Thine acts, On the work of Thy hand I muse. 
19O 143:006 I have spread forth my hands unto Thee, My soul [is] as a  weary land for Thee. Selah. 
19O 143:007 Haste, answer me, O Jehovah, My spirit hath been consumed,  Hide not Thou Thy face from me, Or I have been compared with  those going down [to] the pit. 
19O 143:008 Cause me to hear in the morning Thy kindness, For in Thee  I have trusted, Cause me to know the way that I go, For unto  Thee I have lifted up my soul. 
19O 143:009 Deliver me from mine enemies, O Jehovah, Near Thee I am  covered. 
19O 143:010 Teach me to do Thy good pleasure, For Thou [art] my God  -- Thy Spirit [is] good, Lead me into a land of uprightness. 
19O 143:011 For Thy name's sake O Jehovah, Thou dost quicken me, In  Thy righteousness, Thou bringest out from distress my soul, 
19O 143:012 And in Thy kindness cuttest off mine enemies, And hast  destroyed all the adversaries of my soul, For I [am] Thy  servant! 
19O 144:001 By David. Blessed [is] Jehovah my rock, who is teaching My  hands for war, my fingers for battle. 
19O 144:002 My kind one, and my bulwark, My tower, and my deliverer,  My shield, and in whom I have trusted, Who is subduing my  people under me! 
19O 144:003 Jehovah, what [is] man that Thou knowest him? Son of man,  that Thou esteemest him? 
19O 144:004 Man to vanity hath been like, His days [are] as a shadow  passing by. 
19O 144:005 Jehovah, incline Thy heavens and come down, Strike against  mountains, and they smoke. 
19O 144:006 Send forth lightning, and scatter them, Send forth Thine  arrows, and trouble them, 
19O 144:007 Send forth Thy hand from on high, Free me, and deliver me  from many waters, From the hand of sons of a stranger, 
19O 144:008 Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their right  hand [is] a right hand of falsehood. 
19O 144:009 O God, a new song I sing to Thee, On a psaltery of ten  strings I sing praise to Thee. 
19O 144:010 Who is giving deliverance to kings, Who is freeing David  His servant from the sword of evil. 
19O 144:011 Free me, and deliver me From the hand of sons of a  stranger, Because their mouth hath spoken vanity, And their  right hand [is] a right hand of falsehood, 
19O 144:012 Because our sons [are] as plants, Becoming great in their  youth, Our daughters as hewn stones, Polished -- the likeness  of a palace, 
19O 144:013 Our garners [are] full, bringing out from kind to kind,  Our flocks are bringing forth thousands, Ten thousands in our  out-places, 
19O 144:014 Our oxen are carrying, there is no breach, And there is  no outgoing, And there is no crying in our broad places. 
19O 144:015 O the happiness of the people that is thus, O the  happiness of the people whose God [is] Jehovah! 
19O 145:001 Praise by David. I exalt Thee, my God, O king, And bless  Thy name to the age and for ever. 
19O 145:002 Every day do I bless Thee, And praise Thy name to the age  and for ever. 
19O 145:003 Great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, And of His  greatness there is no searching. 
19O 145:004 Generation to generation praiseth Thy works, And Thy  mighty acts they declare. 
19O 145:005 The honour -- the glory of Thy majesty, And the matters of  Thy wonders I declare. 
19O 145:006 And the strength of Thy fearful acts they tell, And Thy  greatness I recount. 
19O 145:007 The memorial of the abundance of Thy goodness they send  forth. And Thy righteousness they sing. 
19O 145:008 Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and  great in kindness. 
19O 145:009 Good [is] Jehovah to all, And His mercies [are] over all  His works. 
19O 145:010 Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints  do bless Thee. 
19O 145:011 The honour of Thy kingdom they tell, And [of] Thy might  they speak, 
19O 145:012 To make known to sons of men His mighty acts, The honour  of the majesty of His kingdom. 
19O 145:013 Thy kingdom [is] a kingdom of all ages, And Thy dominion  [is] in all generations. 
19O 145:014 Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up  all who are bowed down. 
19O 145:015 The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to  them their food in its season, 
19O 145:016 Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every  living thing. 
19O 145:017 Righteous [is] Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all  His works. 
19O 145:018 Near [is] Jehovah to all those calling Him, To all who  call Him in truth. 
19O 145:019 The desire of those fearing Him He doth, And their cry He  heareth, and saveth them. 
19O 145:020 Jehovah preserveth all those loving Him, And all the  wicked He destroyeth. 
19O 145:021 The praise of Jehovah my mouth speaketh, And all flesh  doth bless His holy name, To the age and for ever! 
19O 146:001 Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah. 
19O 146:002 I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God  while I exist. 
19O 146:003 Trust not in princes -- in a son of man, For he hath no  deliverance. 
19O 146:004 His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In  that day have his thoughts perished. 
19O 146:005 O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his  help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God, 
19O 146:006 Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in  them, Who is keeping truth to the age, 
19O 146:007 Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the  hungry. 
19O 146:008 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the  eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah  is loving the righteous, 
19O 146:009 Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and  widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth  upside down. 
19O 146:010 Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to  generation and generation, Praise ye Jah! 
19O 147:001 Praise ye Jah! For [it is] good to praise our God, For  pleasant -- comely [is] praise. 
19O 147:002 Building Jerusalem [is] Jehovah, The driven away of Israel  He gathereth. 
19O 147:003 Who is giving healing to the broken of heart, And is  binding up their griefs. 
19O 147:004 Appointing the number of the stars, To all them He giveth  names. 
19O 147:005 Great [is] our Lord, and abundant in power, Of His  understanding there is no narration. 
19O 147:006 Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the  wicked unto the earth. 
19O 147:007 Answer ye to Jehovah with thanksgiving, Sing ye to our God  with a harp. 
19O 147:008 Who is covering the heavens with clouds, Who is preparing  for the earth rain, Who is causing grass to spring up [on]  mountains, 
19O 147:009 Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens  that call. 
19O 147:010 Not in the might of the horse doth He delight, Not in the  legs of a man is He pleased. 
19O 147:011 Jehovah is pleased with those fearing Him, With those  waiting for His kindness. 
19O 147:012 Glorify, O Jerusalem, Jehovah, Praise thy God, O Zion. 
19O 147:013 For He did strengthen the bars of thy gates, He hath  blessed thy sons in thy midst. 
19O 147:014 Who is making thy border peace, [With] the fat of wheat  He satisfieth Thee. 
19O 147:015 Who is sending forth His saying [on] earth, Very speedily  doth His word run. 
19O 147:016 Who is giving snow like wool, Hoar-frost as ashes He  scattereth. 
19O 147:017 Casting forth His ice like morsels, Before His cold who  doth stand? 
19O 147:018 He sendeth forth His word and melteth them, He causeth  His wind to blow -- the waters flow. 
19O 147:019 Declaring His words to Jacob, His statutes and His  judgments to Israel. 
19O 147:020 He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they  have not known them. Praise ye Jah! 
19O 148:001 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye Jehovah from the heavens, Praise  ye Him in high places. 
19O 148:002 Praise ye Him, all His messengers, Praise ye Him, all His  hosts. 
19O 148:003 Praise ye Him, sun and moon, Praise ye Him, all stars of  light. 
19O 148:004 Praise ye Him, heavens of heavens, And ye waters that are  above the heavens. 
19O 148:005 They do praise the name of Jehovah, For He commanded, and  they were created. 
19O 148:006 And He establisheth them for ever to the age, A statute He  gave, and they pass not over. 
19O 148:007 Praise ye Jehovah from the earth, Dragons and all deeps, 
19O 148:008 Fire and hail, snow and vapour, Whirlwind doing His word; 
19O 148:009 The mountains and all heights, Fruit tree, and all cedars, 
19O 148:010 The wild beast, and all cattle, Creeping thing, and  winged bird, 
19O 148:011 Kings of earth, and all peoples, Chiefs, and all judges  of earth, 
19O 148:012 Young men, and also maidens, Aged men, with youths, 
19O 148:013 They praise the name of Jehovah, For His name alone hath  been set on high, His honour [is] above earth and heavens. 
19O 148:014 And He exalteth the horn of His people, The praise of all  His saints, Of the sons of Israel, a people near Him. Praise ye  Jah! 
19O 149:001 Praise ye Jah! Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, His praise  in an assembly of saints. 
19O 149:002 Israel doth rejoice in his Maker, Sons of Zion do joy in  their king. 
19O 149:003 They praise His name in a dance, With timbrel and harp  sing praise to Him. 
19O 149:004 For Jehovah is pleased with His people, He beautifieth the  humble with salvation. 
19O 149:005 Exult do saints in honour, They sing aloud on their beds. 
19O 149:006 The exaltation of God [is] in their throat, And a  two-edged sword in their hand. 
19O 149:007 To do vengeance among nations, Punishments among the  peoples. 
19O 149:008 To bind their kings with chains, And their honoured ones  with fetters of iron, 
19O 149:009 To do among them the judgment written, An honour it [is]  for all his saints. Praise ye Jah! 
19O 150:001 Praise ye Jah! Praise ye God in His holy place, Praise Him  in the expanse of His strength. 
19O 150:002 Praise Him in His mighty acts, Praise Him according to the  abundance of His greatness. 
19O 150:003 Praise Him with blowing of trumpet, Praise Him with  psaltery and harp. 
19O 150:004 Praise Him with timbrel and dance, Praise Him with  stringed instruments and organ. 
19O 150:005 Praise Him with cymbals of sounding, Praise Him with  cymbals of shouting. 
19O 150:006 All that doth breathe doth praise Jah! Praise ye Jah! 
20O 001:001 Proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel: 
20O 001:002 For knowing wisdom and instruction, For understanding  sayings of intelligence, 
20O 001:003 For receiving the instruction of wisdom, Righteousness,  judgment, and uprightness, 
20O 001:004 For giving to simple ones -- prudence, To a youth --  knowledge and discretion. 
20O 001:005 (The wise doth hear and increaseth learning, And the  intelligent doth obtain counsels.) 
20O 001:006 For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the  wise and their acute sayings. 
20O 001:007 Fear of Jehovah [is] a beginning of knowledge, Wisdom and  instruction fools have despised! 
20O 001:008 Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not  the law of thy mother, 
20O 001:009 For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to  thy neck. 
20O 001:010 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing. 
20O 001:011 If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch  secretly for the innocent without cause, 
20O 001:012 We swallow them as Sheol -- alive, And whole -- as those  going down [to] the pit, 
20O 001:013 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with]  spoil, 
20O 001:014 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is -- to all of  us.' 
20O 001:015 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from  their path, 
20O 001:016 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed  blood. 
20O 001:017 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any  bird. 
20O 001:018 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly  for their own lives. 
20O 001:019 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The  life of its owners it taketh. 
20O 001:020 Wisdom in an out-place crieth aloud, In broad places she  giveth forth her voice, 
20O 001:021 At the head of the multitudes she calleth, In the openings  of the gates, In the city her sayings she saith: 
20O 001:022 `Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have  scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge? 
20O 001:023 Turn back at my reproof, lo, I pour forth to you my spirit,  I make known my words with you. 
20O 001:024 Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my  hand, and none is attending, 
20O 001:025 And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not  desired. 
20O 001:026 I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear  cometh, 
20O 001:027 When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as  a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress. 
20O 001:028 Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me  earnestly, and find me not. 
20O 001:029 Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of  Jehovah have not chosen. 
20O 001:030 They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised  all my reproof, 
20O 001:031 And they eat of the fruit of their way, And from their own  counsels they are filled. 
20O 001:032 For the turning of the simple slayeth them, And the  security of the foolish destroyeth them. 
20O 001:033 And whoso is hearkening to me dwelleth confidently, And  [is] quiet from fear of evil!' 
20O 002:001 My son, if thou dost accept my sayings, And my commands dost  lay up with thee, 
20O 002:002 To cause thine ear to attend to wisdom, Thou inclinest thy  heart to understanding, 
20O 002:003 For, if for intelligence thou callest, For understanding  givest forth thy voice, 
20O 002:004 If thou dost seek her as silver, And as hid treasures  searchest for her, 
20O 002:005 Then understandest thou fear of Jehovah, And knowledge of  God thou findest. 
20O 002:006 For Jehovah giveth wisdom, From His mouth knowledge and  understanding. 
20O 002:007 Even to lay up for the upright substance, A shield for those  walking uprightly. 
20O 002:008 To keep the paths of judgment, And the way of His saints He  preserveth. 
20O 002:009 Then understandest thou righteousness, And judgment, and  uprightness -- every good path. 
20O 002:010 For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul  is pleasant, 
20O 002:011 Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth  keep thee, 
20O 002:012 To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward  things, 
20O 002:013 Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of  darkness, 
20O 002:014 Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness  of the wicked, 
20O 002:015 Whose paths [are] crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their  ways. 
20O 002:016 To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger  who hath made smooth her sayings, 
20O 002:017 Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant  of her God hath forgotten. 
20O 002:018 For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim  her paths. 
20O 002:019 None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the  paths of life. 
20O 002:020 That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of  the righteous dost keep. 
20O 002:021 For the upright do inhabit the earth, And the perfect are  left in it, 
20O 002:022 And the wicked from the earth are cut off, And treacherous  dealers plucked out of it! 
20O 003:001 My son! my law forget not, And my commands let thy heart  keep, 
20O 003:002 For length of days and years, Life and peace they do add to  thee. 
20O 003:003 Let not kindness and truth forsake thee, Bind them on thy  neck, Write them on the tablet of thy heart, 
20O 003:004 And find grace and good understanding In the eyes of God and  man. 
20O 003:005 Trust unto Jehovah with all thy heart, And unto thine own  understanding lean not. 
20O 003:006 In all thy ways know thou Him, And He doth make straight thy  paths. 
20O 003:007 Be not wise in thine own eyes, Fear Jehovah, and turn aside  from evil. 
20O 003:008 Healing it is to thy navel, And moistening to thy bones. 
20O 003:009 Honour Jehovah from thy substance, And from the beginning of  all thine increase; 
20O 003:010 And filled are thy barns [with] plenty, And [with] new wine  thy presses break forth. 
20O 003:011 Chastisement of Jehovah, my son, despise not, And be not  vexed with His reproof, 
20O 003:012 For whom Jehovah loveth He reproveth, Even as a father the  son He is pleased with. 
20O 003:013 O the happiness of a man [who] hath found wisdom, And of a  man [who] bringeth forth understanding. 
20O 003:014 For better [is] her merchandise Than the merchandise of  silver, And than gold -- her increase. 
20O 003:015 Precious she [is] above rubies, And all thy pleasures are  not comparable to her. 
20O 003:016 Length of days [is] in her right hand, In her left [are]  wealth and honour. 
20O 003:017 Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, And all her paths  [are] peace. 
20O 003:018 A tree of life she [is] to those laying hold on her, And  whoso is retaining her [is] happy. 
20O 003:019 Jehovah by wisdom did found the earth, He prepared the  heavens by understanding. 
20O 003:020 By His knowledge depths have been rent, And clouds do drop  dew. 
20O 003:021 My son! let them not turn from thine eyes, Keep thou wisdom  and thoughtfulness, 
20O 003:022 And they are life to thy soul, and grace to thy neck. 
20O 003:023 Then thou goest thy way confidently, And thy foot doth not  stumble. 
20O 003:024 If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast  lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep. 
20O 003:025 Be not afraid of sudden fear, And of the desolation of the  wicked when it cometh. 
20O 003:026 For Jehovah is at thy side, And He hath kept thy foot from  capture. 
20O 003:027 Withhold not good from its owners, When thy hand [is]  toward God to do [it]. 
20O 003:028 Say not thou to thy friend, `Go, and return, and to-morrow  I give,' And substance with thee. 
20O 003:029 Devise not against thy neighbour evil, And he sitting  confidently with thee. 
20O 003:030 Strive not with a man without cause, If he have not done  thee evil. 
20O 003:031 Be not envious of a man of violence, Nor fix thou on any of  his ways. 
20O 003:032 For an abomination to Jehovah [is] the perverted, And with  the upright [is] His secret counsel. 
20O 003:033 The curse of Jehovah [is] in the house of the wicked. And  the habitation of the righteous He blesseth. 
20O 003:034 If the scorners He doth scorn, Yet to the humble He doth  give grace. 
20O 003:035 Honour do the wise inherit, And fools are bearing away  shame! 
20O 004:001 Hear, ye sons, the instruction of a father, And give  attention to know understanding. 
20O 004:002 For good learning I have given to you, My law forsake not. 
20O 004:003 For, a son I have been to my father -- tender, And an only  one before my mother. 
20O 004:004 And he directeth me, and he saith to me: `Let thy heart  retain my words, Keep my commands, and live. 
20O 004:005 Get wisdom, get understanding, Do not forget, nor turn away  From the sayings of my mouth. 
20O 004:006 Forsake her not, and she doth preserve thee, Love her, and  she doth keep thee. 
20O 004:007 The first thing [is] wisdom -- get wisdom, And with all thy  getting get understanding. 
20O 004:008 Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee,  when thou dost embrace her. 
20O 004:009 She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty  she doth give thee freely. 
20O 004:010 Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And years of life  [are] multiplied to thee. 
20O 004:011 In a way of wisdom I have directed thee, I have caused thee  to tread in paths of uprightness. 
20O 004:012 In thy walking thy step is not straitened, And if thou  runnest, thou stumblest not. 
20O 004:013 Lay hold on instruction, do not desist, Keep her, for she  [is] thy life. 
20O 004:014 Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in  a way of evil doers. 
20O 004:015 Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and  pass on. 
20O 004:016 For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep  hath been taken violently away, If they cause not [some] to  stumble. 
20O 004:017 For they have eaten bread of wickedness, And wine of  violence they drink. 
20O 004:018 And the path of the righteous [is] as a shining light,  Going and brightening till the day is established, 
20O 004:019 The way of the wicked [is] as darkness, They have not known  at what they stumble. 
20O 004:020 My son, to my words give attention, To my sayings incline  thine ear, 
20O 004:021 Let them not turn aside from thine eyes, Preserve them in  the midst of thy heart. 
20O 004:022 For life they [are] to those finding them, And to all their  flesh healing. 
20O 004:023 Above every charge keep thy heart, For out of it [are] the  outgoings of life. 
20O 004:024 Turn aside from thee a froward mouth, And perverse lips put  far from thee, 
20O 004:025 Thine eyes do look straightforward, And thine eyelids look  straight before thee. 
20O 004:026 Ponder thou the path of thy feet, And all thy ways [are]  established. 
20O 004:027 Incline not [to] the right or to the left, Turn aside thy  foot from evil! 
20O 005:001 My son! to my wisdom give attention, To mine understanding  incline thine ear, 
20O 005:002 To observe thoughtfulness, And knowledge do thy lips keep. 
20O 005:003 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And smoother  than oil [is] her mouth, 
20O 005:004 And her latter end [is] bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a sword  [with] mouths. 
20O 005:005 Her feet are going down to death, Sheol do her steps take  hold of. 
20O 005:006 The path of life -- lest thou ponder, Moved have her paths  -- thou knowest not. 
20O 005:007 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And turn not from sayings  of my mouth. 
20O 005:008 Keep far from off her thy way, And come not near unto the  opening of her house, 
20O 005:009 Lest thou give to others thy honour, And thy years to the  fierce, 
20O 005:010 Lest strangers be filled [with] thy power, And thy labours  in the house of a stranger, 
20O 005:011 And thou hast howled in thy latter end, In the consumption  of thy flesh and thy food, 
20O 005:012 And hast said, `How have I hated instruction, And reproof  hath my heart despised, 
20O 005:013 And I have not hearkened to the voice of my directors, And  to my teachers have not inclined mine ear. 
20O 005:014 As a little thing I have been all evil, In the midst of an  assembly and a company. 
20O 005:015 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, Even flowing ones  out of thine own well. 
20O 005:016 Let thy fountains be scattered abroad, In broad places  rivulets of waters. 
20O 005:017 Let them be to thee for thyself, And not to strangers with  thee. 
20O 005:018 Let thy fountain be blessed, And rejoice because of the  wife of thy youth, 
20O 005:019 A hind of loves, and a roe of grace! Let her loves satisfy  thee at all times, In her love magnify thyself continually. 
20O 005:020 And why dost thou magnify thyself, My son, with a stranger?  And embrace the bosom of a strange woman? 
20O 005:021 For over-against the eyes of Jehovah are the ways of each,  And all his paths He is pondering. 
20O 005:022 His own iniquities do capture the wicked, And with the  ropes of his sin he is holden. 
20O 005:023 He dieth without instruction, And in the abundance of his  folly magnifieth himself! 
20O 006:001 My son! if thou hast been surety for thy friend, Hast  stricken for a stranger thy hand, 
20O 006:002 Hast been snared with sayings of thy mouth, Hast been  captured with sayings of thy mouth, 
20O 006:003 Do this now, my son, and be delivered, For thou hast come  into the hand of thy friend. Go, trample on thyself, and  strengthen thy friend, 
20O 006:004 Give not sleep to thine eyes, And slumber to thine eyelids, 
20O 006:005 Be delivered as a roe from the hand, And as a bird from the  hand of a fowler. 
20O 006:006 Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise; 
20O 006:007 Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler, 
20O 006:008 She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in  harvest her food. 
20O 006:009 Till when, O slothful one, dost thou lie? When dost thou  arise from thy sleep? 
20O 006:010 A little sleep, a little slumber, A little clasping of the  hands to rest, 
20O 006:011 And thy poverty hath come as a traveller, And thy want as  an armed man. 
20O 006:012 A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking [with]  perverseness of mouth, 
20O 006:013 Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing  with his fingers, 
20O 006:014 Frowardness [is] in his heart, devising evil at all times,  Contentions he sendeth forth. 
20O 006:015 Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is  broken -- and no healing. 
20O 006:016 These six hath Jehovah hated, Yea, seven [are] abominations  to His soul. 
20O 006:017 Eyes high -- tongues false --  And hands shedding innocent  blood -- 
20O 006:018 A heart devising thoughts of vanity --  Feet hasting to run  to evil -- 
20O 006:019 A false witness [who] doth breathe out lies --  And one  sending forth contentions between brethren. 
20O 006:020 Keep, my son, the command of thy father, And leave not the  law of thy mother. 
20O 006:021 Bind them on thy heart continually, Tie them on thy neck. 
20O 006:022 In thy going up and down, it leadeth thee, In thy lying  down, it watcheth over thee, And thou hast awaked -- it talketh  [with] thee. 
20O 006:023 For a lamp [is] the command, And the law a light, And a way  of life [are] reproofs of instruction, 
20O 006:024 To preserve thee from an evil woman, From the flattery of  the tongue of a strange woman. 
20O 006:025 Desire not her beauty in thy heart, And let her not take  thee with her eyelids. 
20O 006:026 For a harlot consumeth unto a cake of bread, And an  adulteress the precious soul hunteth. 
20O 006:027 Doth a man take fire into his bosom, And are his garments  not burnt? 
20O 006:028 Doth a man walk on the hot coals, And are his feet not  scorched? 
20O 006:029 So [is] he who hath gone in unto the wife of his neighbour,  None who doth touch her is innocent. 
20O 006:030 They do not despise the thief, When he stealeth to fill his  soul when he is hungry, 
20O 006:031 And being found he repayeth sevenfold, All the substance of  his house he giveth. 
20O 006:032 He who committeth adultery [with] a woman lacketh heart, He  is destroying his soul who doth it. 
20O 006:033 A stroke and shame he doth find, And his reproach is not  wiped away, 
20O 006:034 For jealousy [is] the fury of a man, And he doth not spare  in a day of vengeance. 
20O 006:035 He accepteth not the appearance of any atonement, Yea, he  doth not consent, Though thou dost multiply bribes! 
20O 007:001 My son! keep my sayings, And my commands lay up with thee. 
20O 007:002 Keep my commands, and live, And my law as the pupil of thine  eye. 
20O 007:003 Bind them on thy fingers, Write them on the tablet of thy  heart. 
20O 007:004 Say to wisdom, `My sister Thou [art].' And cry to  understanding, `Kinswoman!' 
20O 007:005 To preserve thee from a strange woman, From a stranger who  hath made smooth her sayings. 
20O 007:006 For, at a window of my house, Through my casement I have  looked out, 
20O 007:007 And I do see among the simple ones, I discern among the  sons, A young man lacking understanding, 
20O 007:008 Passing on in the street, near her corner, And the way [to]  her house he doth step, 
20O 007:009 In the twilight -- in the evening of day, In the darkness of  night and blackness. 
20O 007:010 And, lo, a woman to meet him --  (A harlot's dress, and  watchful of heart, 
20O 007:011 Noisy she [is], and stubborn, In her house her feet rest  not. 
20O 007:012 Now in an out-place, now in broad places, And near every  corner she lieth in wait) -- 
20O 007:013 And she laid hold on him, and kissed him, She hath hardened  her face, and saith to him, 
20O 007:014 `Sacrifices of peace-offerings [are] by me, To-day I have  completed my vows. 
20O 007:015 Therefore I have come forth to meet thee, To seek earnestly  thy face, and I find thee. 
20O 007:016 [With] ornamental coverings I decked my couch, Carved works  -- cotton of Egypt. 
20O 007:017 I sprinkled my bed -- myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 
20O 007:018 Come, we are filled [with] loves till the morning, We  delight ourselves in loves. 
20O 007:019 For the man is not in his house, He hath gone on a long  journey. 
20O 007:020 A bag of money he hath taken in his hand, At the day of the  new moon he cometh to his house.' 
20O 007:021 She turneth him aside with the abundance of her speech,  With the flattery of her lips she forceth him. 
20O 007:022 He is going after her straightway, As an ox unto the  slaughter he cometh, And as a fetter unto the chastisement of a  fool, 
20O 007:023 Till an arrow doth split his liver, As a bird hath hastened  unto a snare, And hath not known that it [is] for its life. 
20O 007:024 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, And give attention to  sayings of my mouth. 
20O 007:025 Let not thy heart turn unto her ways, Do not wander in her  paths, 
20O 007:026 For many [are] the wounded she caused to fall, And mighty  [are] all her slain ones. 
20O 007:027 The ways of Sheol -- her house, Going down unto inner  chambers of death! 
20O 008:001 Doth not wisdom call? And understanding give forth her  voice? 
20O 008:002 At the head of high places by the way, Between the paths she  hath stood, 
20O 008:003 At the side of the gates, at the mouth of the city, The  entrance of the openings, she crieth aloud, 
20O 008:004 `Unto you, O men, I call, And my voice [is] unto the sons of  men. 
20O 008:005 Understand, ye simple ones, prudence, And ye fools,  understand the heart, 
20O 008:006 Hearken, for noble things I speak, And the opening of my  lips [is] uprightness. 
20O 008:007 For truth doth my mouth utter, And an abomination to my lips  [is] wickedness. 
20O 008:008 In righteousness [are] all the sayings of my mouth, Nothing  in them is froward and perverse. 
20O 008:009 All of them [are] plain to the intelligent, And upright to  those finding knowledge. 
20O 008:010 Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge  rather than choice gold. 
20O 008:011 For better [is] wisdom than rubies, Yea, all delights are  not comparable with it. 
20O 008:012 I, wisdom, have dwelt with prudence, And a knowledge of  devices I find out. 
20O 008:013 The fear of Jehovah [is] to hate evil; Pride, and  arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated. 
20O 008:014 Mine [is] counsel and substance, I [am] understanding, I  have might. 
20O 008:015 By me kings reign, and princes decree righteousness, 
20O 008:016 By me do chiefs rule, and nobles, All judges of the earth. 
20O 008:017 I love those loving me, And those seeking me earnestly do  find me. 
20O 008:018 Wealth and honour [are] with me, Lasting substance and  righteousness. 
20O 008:019 Better [is] my fruit than gold, even fine gold, And mine  increase than choice silver. 
20O 008:020 In a path of righteousness I cause to walk, In midst of  paths of judgment, 
20O 008:021 To cause my lovers to inherit substance, Yea, their  treasures I fill. 
20O 008:022 Jehovah possessed me -- the beginning of His way, Before  His works since then. 
20O 008:023 From the age I was anointed, from the first, From former  states of the earth. 
20O 008:024 In there being no depths, I was brought forth, In there  being no fountains heavy [with] waters, 
20O 008:025 Before mountains were sunk, Before heights, I was brought  forth. 
20O 008:026 While He had not made the earth, and out-places, And the top  of the dusts of the world. 
20O 008:027 In His preparing the heavens I [am] there, In His decreeing  a circle on the face of the deep, 
20O 008:028 In His strengthening clouds above, In His making strong  fountains of the deep, 
20O 008:029 In His setting for the sea its limit, And the waters  transgress not His command, In His decreeing the foundations of  earth, 
20O 008:030 Then I am near Him, a workman, And I am a delight -- day by  day. Rejoicing before Him at all times, 
20O 008:031 Rejoicing in the habitable part of His earth, And my  delights [are] with the sons of men. 
20O 008:032 And now, ye sons, hearken to me, Yea, happy are they who  keep my ways. 
20O 008:033 Hear instruction, and be wise, and slight not. 
20O 008:034 O the happiness of the man hearkening to me, To watch at my  doors day by day, To watch at the door-posts of my entrance. 
20O 008:035 For whoso is finding me, hath found life, And bringeth out  good-will from Jehovah. 
20O 008:036 And whoso is missing me, is wronging his soul, All hating  me have loved death! 
20O 009:001 Wisdom hath builded her house, She hath hewn out her pillars  -- seven. 
20O 009:002 She hath slaughtered her slaughter, She hath mingled her  wine, Yea, she hath arranged her table. 
20O 009:003 She hath sent forth her damsels, She crieth on the tops of  the high places of the city: 
20O 009:004 `Who [is] simple? let him turn aside hither.' Whoso lacketh  heart: she hath said to him, 
20O 009:005 `Come, eat of my bread, And drink of the wine I have  mingled. 
20O 009:006 Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of  understanding. 
20O 009:007 The instructor of a scorner Is receiving for it -- shame,  And a reprover of the wicked -- his blemish. 
20O 009:008 Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee, Give reproof to  the wise, and he loveth thee. 
20O 009:009 Give to the wise, and he is wiser still, Make known to the  righteous, And he increaseth learning. 
20O 009:010 The commencement of wisdom [is] the fear of Jehovah, And a  knowledge of the Holy Ones [is] understanding. 
20O 009:011 For by me do thy days multiply, And added to thee are years  of life. 
20O 009:012 If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself,  And thou hast scorned -- thyself bearest [it]. 
20O 009:013 A foolish woman [is] noisy, Simple, and hath not known  what. 
20O 009:014 And she hath sat at the opening of her house, On a throne  -- the high places of the city, 
20O 009:015 To call to those passing by the way, Who are going straight  [on] their paths. 
20O 009:016 `Who [is] simple? let him turn aside hither.' And whoso  lacketh heart -- she said to him, 
20O 009:017 `Stolen waters are sweet, And hidden bread is pleasant.' 
20O 009:018 And he hath not known that Rephaim [are] there, In deep  places of Sheol her invited ones! 
20O 010:001 Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son causeth a father to  rejoice, And a foolish son [is] an affliction to his mother. 
20O 010:002 Treasures of wickedness profit not, And righteousness  delivereth from death. 
20O 010:003 Jehovah causeth not the soul of the righteous to hunger,  And the desire of the wicked He thrusteth away. 
20O 010:004 Poor [is] he who is working -- a slothful hand, And the  hand of the diligent maketh rich. 
20O 010:005 Whoso is gathering in summer [is] a wise son, Whoso is  sleeping in harvest [is] a son causing shame. 
20O 010:006 Blessings [are] for the head of the righteous, And the  mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. 
20O 010:007 The remembrance of the righteous [is] for a blessing, And  the name of the wicked doth rot. 
20O 010:008 The wise in heart accepteth commands, And a talkative fool  kicketh. 
20O 010:009 Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And  whoso is perverting his ways is known. 
20O 010:010 Whoso is winking the eye giveth grief, And a talkative  fool kicketh. 
20O 010:011 A fountain of life [is] the mouth of the righteous, And  the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence. 
20O 010:012 Hatred awaketh contentions, And over all transgressions  love covereth. 
20O 010:013 In the lips of the intelligent is wisdom found, And a rod  [is] for the back of him who is lacking understanding. 
20O 010:014 The wise lay up knowledge, and the mouth of a fool [is]  near ruin. 
20O 010:015 The wealth of the rich [is] his strong city, The ruin of  the poor [is] their poverty. 
20O 010:016 The wage of the righteous [is] for life, The increase of  the wicked for sin. 
20O 010:017 A traveller to life [is] he who is keeping instruction,  And whoso is forsaking rebuke is erring. 
20O 010:018 Whoso is covering hatred with lying lips, And whoso is  bringing out an evil report is a fool. 
20O 010:019 In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And  whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise. 
20O 010:020 The tongue of the righteous [is] chosen silver, The heart  of the wicked -- as a little thing. 
20O 010:021 The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack  of heart die. 
20O 010:022 The blessing of Jehovah -- it maketh rich, And He addeth  no grief with it. 
20O 010:023 To execute inventions [is] as play to a fool, And wisdom  to a man of understanding. 
20O 010:024 The feared thing of the wicked it meeteth him, And the  desire of the righteous is given. 
20O 010:025 As the passing by of a hurricane, So the wicked is not,  And the righteous is a foundation age-during. 
20O 010:026 As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is]  the slothful to those sending him. 
20O 010:027 The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the  wicked are shortened. 
20O 010:028 The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation  of the wicked perisheth. 
20O 010:029 The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin  to workers of iniquity. 
20O 010:030 The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked  inhabit not the earth. 
20O 010:031 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, And the tongue  of frowardness is cut out. 
20O 010:032 The lips of the righteous know a pleasing thing, And the  mouth of the wicked perverseness! 
20O 011:001 Balances of deceit [are] an abomination to Jehovah, And a  perfect weight [is] His delight. 
20O 011:002 Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly [is]  wisdom. 
20O 011:003 The integrity of the upright leadeth them, And the  perverseness of the treacherous destroyeth them. 
20O 011:004 Wealth profiteth not in a day of wrath, And righteousness  delivereth from death. 
20O 011:005 The righteousness of the perfect maketh right his way, And  by his wickedness doth the wicked fall. 
20O 011:006 The righteousness of the upright delivereth them, And in  mischief the treacherous are captured. 
20O 011:007 In the death of a wicked man, hope perisheth, And the  expectation of the iniquitous hath been lost. 
20O 011:008 The righteous from distress is drawn out, And the wicked  goeth in instead of him. 
20O 011:009 With the mouth a hypocrite corrupteth his friend, And by  knowledge the righteous are drawn out. 
20O 011:010 In the good of the righteous a city exulteth, And in the  destruction of the wicked [is] singing. 
20O 011:011 By the blessing of the upright is a city exalted, And by  the mouth of the wicked thrown down. 
20O 011:012 Whoso is despising his neighbour lacketh heart, And a man  of understanding keepeth silence. 
20O 011:013 A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful  of spirit is covering the matter. 
20O 011:014 Without counsels do a people fall, And deliverance [is] in  a multitude of counsellors. 
20O 011:015 Evil [one] suffereth when he hath been surety [for] a  stranger, And whoso is hating suretyship is confident. 
20O 011:016 A gracious woman retaineth honour, And terrible [men]  retain riches. 
20O 011:017 A kind man is rewarding his own soul, And the fierce is  troubling his own flesh. 
20O 011:018 The wicked is getting a lying wage, And whoso is sowing  righteousness -- a true reward. 
20O 011:019 Rightly [is] righteousness for life, And whoso is pursuing  evil -- for his own death. 
20O 011:020 An abomination to Jehovah [are] the perverse of heart, And  the perfect of the way [are] His delight. 
20O 011:021 Hand to hand, the wicked is not acquitted, And the seed of  the righteous hath escaped. 
20O 011:022 A ring of gold in the nose of a sow --  A fair woman and  stubborn of behaviour. 
20O 011:023 The desire of the righteous [is] only good, The hope of  the wicked [is] transgression. 
20O 011:024 There is who is scattering, and yet is increased, And who  is keeping back from uprightness, only to want. 
20O 011:025 A liberal soul is made fat, And whoso is watering, he also  is watered. 
20O 011:026 Whoso is withholding corn, the people execrate him, And a  blessing [is] for the head of him who is selling. 
20O 011:027 Whoso is earnestly seeking good Seeketh a pleasing thing,  And whoso is seeking evil -- it meeteth him. 
20O 011:028 Whoso is confident in his wealth he falleth, And as a  leaf, the righteous flourish. 
20O 011:029 Whoso is troubling his own house inheriteth wind, And a  servant [is] the fool to the wise of heart. 
20O 011:030 The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life, And whoso  is taking souls [is] wise. 
20O 011:031 Lo, the righteous in the earth is recompensed, Surely also  the wicked and the sinner! 
20O 012:001 Whoso is loving instruction, is loving knowledge, And whoso  is hating reproof [is] brutish. 
20O 012:002 The good bringeth forth favour from Jehovah, And the man of  wicked devices He condemneth. 
20O 012:003 A man is not established by wickedness, And the root of the  righteous is not moved. 
20O 012:004 A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband, And as  rottenness in his bones [is] one causing shame. 
20O 012:005 The thoughts of the righteous [are] justice, The counsels  of the wicked -- deceit. 
20O 012:006 The words of the wicked [are]: `Lay wait for blood,' And  the mouth of the upright delivereth them. 
20O 012:007 Overthrow the wicked, and they are not, And the house of  the righteous standeth. 
20O 012:008 According to his wisdom is a man praised, And the perverted  of heart becometh despised. 
20O 012:009 Better [is] the lightly esteemed who hath a servant, Than  the self-honoured who lacketh bread. 
20O 012:010 The righteous knoweth the life of his beast, And the  mercies of the wicked [are] cruel. 
20O 012:011 Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied [with] bread, And  whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart, 
20O 012:012 The wicked hath desired the net of evil doers, And the  root of the righteous giveth. 
20O 012:013 In transgression of the lips [is] the snare of the wicked,  And the righteous goeth out from distress. 
20O 012:014 From the fruit of the mouth [is] one satisfied [with]  good, And the deed of man's hands returneth to him. 
20O 012:015 The way of a fool [is] right in his own eyes, And whoso is  hearkening to counsel [is] wise. 
20O 012:016 The fool -- in a day is his anger known, And the prudent  is covering shame. 
20O 012:017 Whoso uttereth faithfulness declareth righteousness, And a  false witness -- deceit. 
20O 012:018 A rash speaker is like piercings of a sword, And the  tongue of the wise is healing. 
20O 012:019 The lip of truth is established for ever, And for a moment  -- a tongue of falsehood. 
20O 012:020 Deceit [is] in the heart of those devising evil, And to  those counselling peace [is] joy. 
20O 012:021 No iniquity is desired by the righteous, And the wicked  have been full of evil. 
20O 012:022 An abomination to Jehovah [are] lying lips, And stedfast  doers [are] his delight. 
20O 012:023 A prudent man is concealing knowledge, And the heart of  fools proclaimeth folly. 
20O 012:024 The hand of the diligent ruleth, And slothfulness becometh  tributary. 
20O 012:025 Sorrow in the heart of a man boweth down, And a good word  maketh him glad. 
20O 012:026 The righteous searcheth his companion, And the way of the  wicked causeth them to err. 
20O 012:027 The slothful roasteth not his hunting, And the wealth of a  diligent man is precious. 
20O 012:028 In the path of righteousness [is] life, And in the way of  [that] path [is] no death! 
20O 013:001 A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner --  he hath not heard rebuke. 
20O 013:002 From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul  of the treacherous -- violence. 
20O 013:003 Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is  opening wide his lips -- ruin to him! 
20O 013:004 The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the  soul of the diligent is made fat. 
20O 013:005 A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth  abhorrence, and is confounded. 
20O 013:006 Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And  wickedness overthroweth a sin offering. 
20O 013:007 There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who  is making himself poor, and wealth [is] abundant. 
20O 013:008 The ransom of a man's life [are] his riches, And the poor  hath not heard rebuke. 
20O 013:009 The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the  wicked is extinguished. 
20O 013:010 A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the  counselled [is] wisdom. 
20O 013:011 Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering  by the hand becometh great. 
20O 013:012 Hope prolonged is making the heart sick, And a tree of  life [is] the coming desire. 
20O 013:013 Whoso is despising the Word is destroyed for it, And whoso  is fearing the Command is repayed. 
20O 013:014 The law of the wise [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside  from snares of death. 
20O 013:015 Good understanding giveth grace, And the way of the  treacherous [is] hard. 
20O 013:016 Every prudent one dealeth with knowledge, And a fool  spreadeth out folly. 
20O 013:017 A wicked messenger falleth into evil, And a faithful  ambassador is healing. 
20O 013:018 Whoso is refusing instruction -- poverty and shame, And  whoso is observing reproof is honoured. 
20O 013:019 A desire accomplished is sweet to the soul, And an  abomination to fools [is]: Turn from evil. 
20O 013:020 Whoso is walking with wise men is wise, And a companion of  fools suffereth evil. 
20O 013:021 Evil pursueth sinners, And good recompenseth the  righteous. 
20O 013:022 A good man causeth sons' sons to inherit, And laid up for  the righteous [is] the sinner's wealth. 
20O 013:023 Abundance of food -- the tillage of the poor, And  substance is consumed without judgment. 
20O 013:024 Whoso is sparing his rod is hating his son, And whoso is  loving him hath hastened him chastisement. 
20O 013:025 The righteous is eating to the satiety of his soul, And  the belly of the wicked lacketh! 
20O 014:001 Every wise woman hath builded her house, And the foolish  with her hands breaketh it down. 
20O 014:002 Whoso is walking in his uprightness is fearing Jehovah, And  the perverted [in] his ways is despising Him. 
20O 014:003 In the mouth of a fool [is] a rod of pride, And the lips of  the wise preserve them. 
20O 014:004 Without oxen a stall [is] clean, And great [is] the  increase by the power of the ox. 
20O 014:005 A faithful witness lieth not, And a false witness breatheth  out lies. 
20O 014:006 A scorner hath sought wisdom, and it is not, And knowledge  to the intelligent [is] easy. 
20O 014:007 Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the  lips of knowledge. 
20O 014:008 The wisdom of the prudent [is] to understand his way, And  the folly of fools [is] deceit. 
20O 014:009 Fools mock at a guilt-offering, And among the upright -- a  pleasing thing. 
20O 014:010 The heart knoweth its own bitterness, And with its joy a  stranger doth not intermeddle. 
20O 014:011 The house of the wicked is destroyed, And the tent of the  upright flourisheth. 
20O 014:012 There is a way -- right before a man, And its latter end  [are] ways of death. 
20O 014:013 Even in laughter is the heart pained, And the latter end  of joy [is] affliction. 
20O 014:014 From his ways is the backslider in heart filled, And a  good man -- from his fruits. 
20O 014:015 The simple giveth credence to everything, And the prudent  attendeth to his step. 
20O 014:016 The wise is fearing and turning from evil, And a fool is  transgressing and is confident. 
20O 014:017 Whoso is short of temper doth folly, And a man of wicked  devices is hated. 
20O 014:018 The simple have inherited folly, And the prudent are  crowned [with] knowledge. 
20O 014:019 The evil have bowed down before the good, And the wicked  at the gates of the righteous. 
20O 014:020 Even of his neighbour is the poor hated, And those loving  the rich [are] many. 
20O 014:021 Whoso is despising his neighbour sinneth, Whoso is  favouring the humble, O his happiness. 
20O 014:022 Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and  truth [are] to those devising good, 
20O 014:023 In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips  [is] only to want. 
20O 014:024 The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools  [is] folly. 
20O 014:025 A true witness is delivering souls, And a deceitful one  breatheth out lies. 
20O 014:026 In the fear of Jehovah [is] strong confidence, And to His  sons there is a refuge. 
20O 014:027 The fear of Jehovah [is] a fountain of life, To turn aside  from snares of death. 
20O 014:028 In the multitude of a people [is] the honour of a king,  And in lack of people the ruin of a prince. 
20O 014:029 Whoso is slow to anger [is] of great understanding, And  whoso is short in temper is exalting folly. 
20O 014:030 A healed heart [is] life to the flesh, And rottenness to  the bones [is] envy. 
20O 014:031 An oppressor of the poor reproacheth his Maker, And whoso  is honouring Him Is favouring the needy. 
20O 014:032 In his wickedness is the wicked driven away, And trustful  in his death [is] the righteous. 
20O 014:033 In the heart of the intelligent wisdom doth rest. And in  the midst of fools it is known. 
20O 014:034 Righteousness exalteth a nation, And the goodliness of  peoples [is] a sin-offering. 
20O 014:035 The favour of a king [is] to a wise servant, And an object  of his wrath is one causing shame! 
20O 015:001 A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word  raiseth up anger. 
20O 015:002 The tongue of the wise maketh knowledge good, And the mouth  of fools uttereth folly. 
20O 015:003 In every place are the eyes of Jehovah, Watching the evil  and the good. 
20O 015:004 A healed tongue [is] a tree of life, And perverseness in it  -- a breach in the spirit. 
20O 015:005 A fool despiseth the instruction of his father, And whoso  is regarding reproof is prudent. 
20O 015:006 [In] the house of the righteous [is] abundant strength, And  in the increase of the wicked -- trouble. 
20O 015:007 The lips of the wise scatter knowledge, And the heart of  fools [is] not right. 
20O 015:008 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] an abomination to Jehovah,  And the prayer of the upright [is] His delight. 
20O 015:009 An abomination to Jehovah [is] the way of the wicked, And  whoso is pursuing righteousness He loveth. 
20O 015:010 Chastisement [is] grievous to him who is forsaking the  path, Whoso is hating reproof dieth. 
20O 015:011 Sheol and destruction [are] before Jehovah, Surely also  the hearts of the sons of men. 
20O 015:012 A scorner loveth not his reprover, Unto the wise he goeth  not. 
20O 015:013 A joyful heart maketh glad the face, And by grief of heart  is the spirit smitten. 
20O 015:014 The heart of the intelligent seeketh knowledge, And the  mouth of fools enjoyeth folly. 
20O 015:015 All the days of the afflicted [are] evil, And gladness of  heart [is] a perpetual banquet. 
20O 015:016 Better [is] a little with the fear of Jehovah, Than much  treasure, and tumult with it. 
20O 015:017 Better [is] an allowance of green herbs and love there,  Than a fatted ox, and hatred with it. 
20O 015:018 A man of fury stirreth up contention, And the slow to  anger appeaseth strife. 
20O 015:019 The way of the slothful [is] as a hedge of briers, And the  path of the upright is raised up. 
20O 015:020 A wise son rejoiceth a father. And a foolish man is  despising his mother. 
20O 015:021 Folly is joy to one lacking heart, And a man of  intelligence directeth [his] going. 
20O 015:022 Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a  multitude of counsellors it is established. 
20O 015:023 Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word  in its season -- how good! 
20O 015:024 A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside  from Sheol beneath. 
20O 015:025 The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He  setteth up the border of the widow. 
20O 015:026 An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness,  And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness. 
20O 015:027 A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is  hating gifts liveth. 
20O 015:028 The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the  mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things. 
20O 015:029 Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the  righteous He heareth. 
20O 015:030 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report  maketh fat the bone. 
20O 015:031 An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge  among the wise. 
20O 015:032 Whoso is refusing instruction is despising his soul, And  whoso is hearing reproof Is getting understanding. 
20O 015:033 The fear of Jehovah [is] the instruction of wisdom, And  before honour [is] humility! 
20O 016:001 Of man [are] arrangements of the heart, And from Jehovah an  answer of the tongue. 
20O 016:002 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, And Jehovah  is pondering the spirits. 
20O 016:003 Roll unto Jehovah thy works, And established are thy  purposes, 
20O 016:004 All things hath Jehovah wrought for Himself, And also the  wicked [worketh] for a day of evil. 
20O 016:005 An abomination to Jehovah [is] every proud one of heart,  Hand to hand he is not acquitted. 
20O 016:006 In kindness and truth pardoned is iniquity, And in the fear of  Jehovah Turn thou aside from evil. 
20O 016:007 When a man's ways please Jehovah, even his enemies, He  causeth to be at peace with him. 
20O 016:008 Better [is] a little with righteousness, Than abundance of  increase without justice. 
20O 016:009 The heart of man deviseth his way, And Jehovah establisheth  his step. 
20O 016:010 An oath [is] on the lips of a king, In judgment his mouth  trespasseth not. 
20O 016:011 A just beam and balances [are] Jehovah's, His work [are]  all the stones of the bag. 
20O 016:012 An abomination to kings [is] doing wickedness, For by  righteousness is a throne established. 
20O 016:013 The delight of kings [are] righteous lips, And whoso is  speaking uprightly he loveth, 
20O 016:014 The fury of a king [is] messengers of death, And a wise  man pacifieth it. 
20O 016:015 In the light of a king's face [is] life, And his good-will  [is] as a cloud of the latter rain. 
20O 016:016 To get wisdom -- how much better than gold, And to get  understanding to be chosen than silver! 
20O 016:017 A highway of the upright [is], `Turn from evil,' Whoso is  preserving his soul is watching his way. 
20O 016:018 Before destruction [is] pride, And before stumbling -- a  haughty spirit.' 
20O 016:019 Better is humility of spirit with the poor, Than to  apportion spoil with the proud. 
20O 016:020 The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting  in Jehovah, O his happiness. 
20O 016:021 To the wise in heart is called, `Intelligent,' And  sweetness of lips increaseth learning. 
20O 016:022 A fountain of life [is] understanding to its possessors,  The instruction of fools is folly. 
20O 016:023 The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And  by his lips he increaseth learning, 
20O 016:024 Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the  soul, and healing to the bone. 
20O 016:025 There is a way right before a man, And its latter end --  ways of death. 
20O 016:026 A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth  hath caused [him] to bend over it. 
20O 016:027 A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips -- as a  burning fire. 
20O 016:028 A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is  separating a familiar friend. 
20O 016:029 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him  to go in a way not good. 
20O 016:030 Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his  lips he hath accomplished evil. 
20O 016:031 A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of  righteousness it is found. 
20O 016:032 Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the  ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city. 
20O 016:033 Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all  its judgment! 
20O 017:001 Better [is] a dry morsel, and rest with it, Than a house  full of the sacrifices of strife. 
20O 017:002 A wise servant ruleth over a son causing shame, And in the  midst of brethren He apportioneth an inheritance. 
20O 017:003 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold, And  the trier of hearts [is] Jehovah. 
20O 017:004 An evil doer is attentive to lips of vanity, Falsehood is  giving ear to a mischievous tongue. 
20O 017:005 Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker,  Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted. 
20O 017:006 Sons' sons [are] the crown of old men, And the glory of  sons [are] their fathers. 
20O 017:007 Not comely for a fool is a lip of excellency, Much less for  a noble a lip of falsehood. 
20O 017:008 A stone of grace [is] the bribe in the eyes of its  possessors, Whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. 
20O 017:009 Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso  is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend. 
20O 017:010 Rebuke cometh down on the intelligent More than a hundred  stripes on a fool. 
20O 017:011 An evil man seeketh only rebellion, And a fierce messenger  is sent against him. 
20O 017:012 The meeting of a bereaved bear by a man, And -- not a fool  in his folly. 
20O 017:013 Whoso is returning evil for good, Evil moveth not from his  house. 
20O 017:014 The beginning of contention [is] a letting out of waters,  And before it is meddled with leave the strife. 
20O 017:015 Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the  righteous, Even both of these [are] an abomination to Jehovah. 
20O 017:016 Why [is] this -- a price in the hand of a fool to buy  wisdom, And a heart there is none? 
20O 017:017 At all times is the friend loving, And a brother for  adversity is born. 
20O 017:018 A man lacking heart is striking hands, A surety he  becometh before his friend. 
20O 017:019 Whoso is loving transgression is loving debate, Whoso is  making high his entrance is seeking destruction. 
20O 017:020 The perverse of heart findeth not good, And the turned in  his tongue falleth into evil. 
20O 017:021 Whoso is begetting a fool hath affliction for it, Yea, the  father of a fool rejoiceth not. 
20O 017:022 A rejoicing heart doth good to the body, And a smitten  spirit drieth the bone. 
20O 017:023 A bribe from the bosom the wicked taketh, To turn aside  the paths of judgment. 
20O 017:024 The face of the intelligent [is] to wisdom, And the eyes  of a fool -- at the end of the earth. 
20O 017:025 A provocation to his father [is] a foolish son, And  bitterness to her that bare him. 
20O 017:026 Also, to fine the righteous is not good, To smite nobles  for uprightness. 
20O 017:027 One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And  the cool of temper [is] a man of understanding. 
20O 017:028 Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is  shutting his lips intelligent! 
20O 018:001 For [an object of] desire he who is separated doth seek,  With all wisdom he intermeddleth. 
20O 018:002 A fool delighteth not in understanding, But -- in  uncovering his heart. 
20O 018:003 With the coming of the wicked come also hath contempt, And  with shame -- reproach. 
20O 018:004 Deep waters [are] the words of a man's mouth, The fountain  of wisdom [is] a flowing brook. 
20O 018:005 Acceptance of the face of the wicked [is] not good, To turn  aside the righteous in judgment. 
20O 018:006 The lips of a fool enter into strife, And his mouth for  stripes calleth. 
20O 018:007 The mouth of a fool [is] ruin to him, And his lips [are]  the snare of his soul. 
20O 018:008 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds,  And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart. 
20O 018:009 He also that is remiss in his work, A brother he [is] to a  destroyer. 
20O 018:010 A tower of strength [is] the name of Jehovah, Into it the  righteous runneth, and is set on high. 
20O 018:011 The wealth of the rich [is] the city of his strength, And  as a wall set on high in his own imagination. 
20O 018:012 Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before  honour [is] humility. 
20O 018:013 Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is  to him and shame. 
20O 018:014 The spirit of a man sustaineth his sickness, And a smitten  spirit who doth bear? 
20O 018:015 The heart of the intelligent getteth knowledge, And the  ear of the wise seeketh knowledge. 
20O 018:016 The gift of a man maketh room for him, And before the  great it leadeth him. 
20O 018:017 Righteous [is] the first in his own cause, His neighbour  cometh and hath searched him. 
20O 018:018 The lot causeth contentions to cease, And between the  mighty it separateth. 
20O 018:019 A brother transgressed against is as a strong city, And  contentions as the bar of a palace. 
20O 018:020 From the fruit of a man's mouth is his belly satisfied,  [From the] increase of his lips he is satisfied. 
20O 018:021 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue, And those  loving it eat its fruit. 
20O 018:022 [Whoso] hath found a wife hath found good, And bringeth  out good-will from Jehovah. 
20O 018:023 [With] supplications doth the poor speak, And the rich  answereth fierce things. 
20O 018:024 A man with friends [is] to show himself friendly, And  there is a lover adhering more than a brother! 
20O 019:001 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the  perverse [in] his lips, who [is] a fool. 
20O 019:002 Also, without knowledge the soul [is] not good, And the  hasty in feet is sinning. 
20O 019:003 The folly of man perverteth his way, And against Jehovah is  his heart wroth. 
20O 019:004 Wealth addeth many friends, And the poor from his neighbour  is separated. 
20O 019:005 A false witness is not acquitted, Whoso breatheth out lies  is not delivered. 
20O 019:006 Many entreat the face of the noble, And all have made  friendship to a man of gifts. 
20O 019:007 All the brethren of the poor have hated him, Surely also  his friends have been far from him, He is pursuing words --  they are not! 
20O 019:008 Whoso is getting heart is loving his soul, He is keeping  understanding to find good. 
20O 019:009 A false witness is not acquitted, And whoso breatheth out  lies perisheth. 
20O 019:010 Luxury is not comely for a fool, Much less for a servant  to rule among princes. 
20O 019:011 The wisdom of a man hath deferred his anger, And his glory  [is] to pass over transgression. 
20O 019:012 The wrath of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, And  as dew on the herb his good-will. 
20O 019:013 A calamity to his father [is] a foolish son, And the  contentions of a wife [are] a continual dropping. 
20O 019:014 House and wealth [are] the inheritance of fathers, And  from Jehovah [is] an understanding wife. 
20O 019:015 Sloth causeth deep sleep to fall, And an indolent soul  doth hunger. 
20O 019:016 Whoso is keeping the command is keeping his soul, Whoso is  despising His ways dieth. 
20O 019:017 Whoso is lending [to] Jehovah is favouring the poor, And  his deed He repayeth to him. 
20O 019:018 Chastise thy son, for there is hope, And to put him to  death lift not up thy soul. 
20O 019:019 A man of great wrath is bearing punishment, For, if thou  dost deliver, yet again thou dost add. 
20O 019:020 Hear counsel and receive instruction, So that thou art  wise in thy latter end. 
20O 019:021 Many [are] the purposes in a man's heart, And the counsel  of Jehovah it standeth. 
20O 019:022 The desirableness of a man [is] his kindness, And better  [is] the poor than a liar. 
20O 019:023 The fear of Jehovah [is] to life, And satisfied he  remaineth -- he is not charged with evil. 
20O 019:024 The slothful hath hidden his hand in a dish, Even unto his  mouth he bringeth it not back. 
20O 019:025 A scorner smite, and the simple acts prudently, And give  reproof to the intelligent, He understandeth knowledge. 
20O 019:026 Whoso is spoiling a father causeth a mother to flee, A son  causing shame, and bringing confusion. 
20O 019:027 Cease, my son, to hear instruction --  To err from sayings  of knowledge. 
20O 019:028 A worthless witness scorneth judgment, And the mouth of  the wicked swalloweth iniquity. 
20O 019:029 Judgments have been prepared for scorners, And stripes for  the back of fools! 
20O 020:001 Wine [is] a scorner -- strong drink [is] noisy, And any  going astray in it is not wise. 
20O 020:002 The fear of a king [is] a growl as of a young lion, He who  is causing him to be wroth is wronging his soul. 
20O 020:003 An honour to a man is cessation from strife, And every fool  intermeddleth. 
20O 020:004 Because of winter the slothful plougheth not, He asketh in  harvest, and there is nothing. 
20O 020:005 Counsel in the heart of a man [is] deep water, And a man of  understanding draweth it up. 
20O 020:006 A multitude of men proclaim each his kindness, And a man of  stedfastness who doth find? 
20O 020:007 The righteous is walking habitually in his integrity, O the  happiness of his sons after him! 
20O 020:008 A king sitting on a throne of judgment, Is scattering with  his eyes all evil, 
20O 020:009 Who saith, `I have purified my heart, I have been cleansed  from my sin?' 
20O 020:010 A stone and a stone, an ephah and an ephah, Even both of  them [are] an abomination to Jehovah. 
20O 020:011 Even by his actions a youth maketh himself known, Whether  his work be pure or upright. 
20O 020:012 A hearing ear, and a seeing eye, Jehovah hath made even  both of them. 
20O 020:013 Love not sleep, lest thou become poor, Open thine eyes --  be satisfied [with] bread. 
20O 020:014 `Bad, bad,' saith the buyer, And going his way then he  boasteth himself. 
20O 020:015 Substance, gold, and a multitude of rubies, Yea, a  precious vessel, [are] lips of knowledge. 
20O 020:016 Take his garment when a stranger hath been surety, And for  strangers pledge it. 
20O 020:017 Sweet to a man [is] the bread of falsehood, And afterwards  is his mouth filled [with] gravel. 
20O 020:018 Purposes by counsel thou dost establish, And with plans  make thou war. 
20O 020:019 A revealer of secret counsels is the busybody, And for a  deceiver [with] his lips make not thyself surety. 
20O 020:020 Whoso is vilifying his father and his mother, Extinguished  is his lamp in blackness of darkness. 
20O 020:021 An inheritance gotten wrongly at first, Even its latter  end is not blessed. 
20O 020:022 Do not say, `I recompense evil,' Wait for Jehovah, and He  delivereth thee. 
20O 020:023 An abomination to Jehovah [are] a stone and a stone, And  balances of deceit [are] not good. 
20O 020:024 From Jehovah [are] the steps of a man, And man -- how  understandeth he his way? 
20O 020:025 A snare to a man [is] he hath swallowed a holy thing, And  after vows to make inquiry. 
20O 020:026 A wise king is scattering the wicked, And turneth back on  them the wheel. 
20O 020:027 The breath of man [is] a lamp of Jehovah, Searching all  the inner parts of the heart. 
20O 020:028 Kindness and truth keep a king, And he hath supported by  kindness his throne. 
20O 020:029 The beauty of young men is their strength, And the honour  of old men is grey hairs. 
20O 020:030 The bandages of a wound thou removest with the evil, Also  the plagues of the inner parts of the heart! 
20O 021:001 Rivulets of waters [is] the heart of a king in the hand of  Jehovah, Wherever He pleaseth He inclineth it. 
20O 021:002 Every way of a man [is] right in his own eyes, And Jehovah  is pondering hearts. 
20O 021:003 To do righteousness and judgment, Is chosen of Jehovah  rather than sacrifice. 
20O 021:004 Loftiness of eyes, and breadth of heart, Tillage of the  wicked [is] sin. 
20O 021:005 The purposes of the diligent [are] only to advantage, And  of every hasty one, only to want. 
20O 021:006 The making of treasures by a lying tongue, [Is] a vanity  driven away of those seeking death. 
20O 021:007 The spoil of the wicked catcheth them, Because they have  refused to do judgment. 
20O 021:008 Froward [is] the way of a man who is vile, And the pure --  upright [is] his work. 
20O 021:009 Better to sit on a corner of the roof, Than [with] a woman  of contentions and a house of company. 
20O 021:010 The soul of the wicked hath desired evil, Not gracious in  his eyes is his neighbour. 
20O 021:011 When the scorner is punished, the simple becometh wise,  And in giving understanding to the wise He receiveth knowledge. 
20O 021:012 The Righteous One is acting wisely Towards the house of  the wicked, He is overthrowing the wicked for wickedness. 
20O 021:013 Whoso is shutting his ear from the cry of the poor, He  also doth cry, and is not answered. 
20O 021:014 A gift in secret pacifieth anger, And a bribe in the bosom  strong fury. 
20O 021:015 To do justice [is] joy to the righteous, But ruin to  workers of iniquity. 
20O 021:016 A man who is wandering from the way of understanding, In  an assembly of Rephaim resteth. 
20O 021:017 Whoso [is] loving mirth [is] a poor man, Whoso is loving  wine and oil maketh no wealth. 
20O 021:018 The wicked [is] an atonement for the righteous, And for  the upright the treacherous dealer. 
20O 021:019 Better to dwell in a wilderness land, Than [with] a woman  of contentions and anger. 
20O 021:020 A treasure to be desired, and oil, [Is] in the habitation  of the wise, And a foolish man swalloweth it up. 
20O 021:021 Whoso is pursuing righteousness and kindness, Findeth  life, righteousness, and honour. 
20O 021:022 A city of the mighty hath the wise gone up, And bringeth  down the strength of its confidence. 
20O 021:023 Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from  adversities his soul. 
20O 021:024 Proud, haughty, scorner [is] his name, Who is working in  the wrath of pride. 
20O 021:025 The desire of the slothful slayeth him, For his hands have  refused to work. 
20O 021:026 All the day desiring he hath desired, And the righteous  giveth and withholdeth not. 
20O 021:027 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, Much more  when in wickedness he bringeth it. 
20O 021:028 A false witness doth perish, And an attentive man for ever  speaketh. 
20O 021:029 A wicked man hath hardened by his face, And the upright --  he prepareth his way. 
20O 021:030 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, Nor counsel,  over-against Jehovah. 
20O 021:031 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the  deliverance [is] of Jehovah! 
20O 022:001 A name is chosen rather than much wealth, Than silver and  than gold -- good grace. 
20O 022:002 Rich and poor have met together, The Maker of them all [is]  Jehovah. 
20O 022:003 The prudent hath seen the evil, and is hidden, And the  simple have passed on, and are punished. 
20O 022:004 The end of humility [is] the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and  honour, and life. 
20O 022:005 Thorns -- snares [are] in the way of the perverse, Whoso is  keeping his soul is far from them. 
20O 022:006 Give instruction to a youth about his way, Even when he is  old he turneth not from it. 
20O 022:007 The rich over the poor ruleth, And a servant [is] the  borrower to the lender. 
20O 022:008 Whoso is sowing perverseness reapeth sorrow, And the rod of  his anger weareth out. 
20O 022:009 The good of eye -- he is blessed, For he hath given of his  bread to the poor. 
20O 022:010 Cast out a scorner -- and contention goeth out, And strife  and shame cease. 
20O 022:011 Whoso is loving cleanness of heart, Grace [are] his lips,  a king [is] his friend. 
20O 022:012 The eyes of Jehovah have kept knowledge, And He  overthroweth the words of the treacherous. 
20O 022:013 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] without, In the midst  of the broad places I am slain.' 
20O 022:014 A deep pit [is] the mouth of strange women, The abhorred  of Jehovah falleth there. 
20O 022:015 Folly is bound up in the heart of a youth, The rod of  chastisement putteth it far from him. 
20O 022:016 He is oppressing the poor to multiply to him, He is giving  to the rich -- only to want. 
20O 022:017 Incline thine ear, and hear words of the wise, And thy  heart set to my knowledge, 
20O 022:018 For they are pleasant when thou dost keep them in thy  heart, They are prepared together for thy lips. 
20O 022:019 That thy trust may be in Jehovah, I caused thee to know  to-day, even thou. 
20O 022:020 Have I not written to thee three times With counsels and  knowledge? 
20O 022:021 To cause thee to know the certainty of sayings of truth,  To return sayings of truth to those sending thee. 
20O 022:022 Rob not the poor because he [is] poor, And bruise not the  afflicted in the gate. 
20O 022:023 For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the  soul of their spoilers. 
20O 022:024 Shew not thyself friendly with an angry man, And with a  man of fury go not in, 
20O 022:025 Lest thou learn his paths, And have received a snare to  thy soul. 
20O 022:026 Be not thou among those striking hands, Among sureties  [for] burdens. 
20O 022:027 If thou hast nothing to pay, Why doth he take thy bed from  under thee? 
20O 022:028 Remove not a border of olden times, That thy fathers have  made. 
20O 022:029 Hast thou seen a man speedy in his business? Before kings  he doth station himself, He stations not himself before obscure  men! 
20O 023:001 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Thou considerest  diligently that which [is] before thee, 
20O 023:002 And thou hast put a knife to thy throat, If thou [art] a  man of appetite. 
20O 023:003 Have no desire to his dainties, seeing it [is] lying food. 
20O 023:004 Labour not to make wealth, From thine own understanding  cease, Dost thou cause thine eyes to fly upon it? Then it is  not. 
20O 023:005 For wealth maketh to itself wings, As an eagle it flieth to  the heavens. 
20O 023:006 Eat not the bread of an evil eye, And have no desire to his  dainties, 
20O 023:007 For as he hath thought in his soul, so [is] he, `Eat and  drink,' saith he to thee, And his heart [is] not with thee. 
20O 023:008 Thy morsel thou hast eaten thou dost vomit up, And hast  marred thy words that [are] sweet. 
20O 023:009 In the ears of a fool speak not, For he treadeth on the  wisdom of thy words. 
20O 023:010 Remove not a border of olden times, And into fields of the  fatherless enter not, 
20O 023:011 For their Redeemer [is] strong, He doth plead their cause  with thee. 
20O 023:012 Bring in to instruction thy heart, And thine ear to  sayings of knowledge. 
20O 023:013 Withhold not from a youth chastisement, When thou smitest  him with a rod he dieth not. 
20O 023:014 Thou with a rod smitest him, And his soul from Sheol thou  deliverest. 
20O 023:015 My son, if thy heart hath been wise, My heart rejoiceth,  even mine, 
20O 023:016 And my reins exult when thy lips speak uprightly. 
20O 023:017 Let not thy heart be envious at sinners, But -- in the  fear of Jehovah all the day. 
20O 023:018 For, is there a posterity? Then thy hope is not cut off. 
20O 023:019 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, And make happy in the way  thy heart, 
20O 023:020 Be not thou among quaffers of wine, Among gluttonous ones  of flesh, 
20O 023:021 For the quaffer and glutton become poor, And drowsiness  clotheth with rags. 
20O 023:022 Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy  mother when she hath become old. 
20O 023:023 Truth buy, and sell not, Wisdom, and instruction, and  understanding, 
20O 023:024 The father of the righteous rejoiceth greatly, The  begetter of the wise rejoiceth in him. 
20O 023:025 Rejoice doth thy father and thy mother, Yea, she that bare  thee is joyful. 
20O 023:026 Give, my son, thy heart to me, And let thine eyes watch my  ways. 
20O 023:027 For a harlot [is] a deep ditch, And a strange woman [is] a  strait pit. 
20O 023:028 She also, as catching prey, lieth in wait, And the  treacherous among men she increaseth. 
20O 023:029 Who hath wo? who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? who  hath plaint? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of  eyes? 
20O 023:030 Those tarrying by the wine, Those going in to search out  mixed wine. 
20O 023:031 See not wine when it showeth itself red, When it giveth in  the cup its colour, It goeth up and down through the upright. 
20O 023:032 Its latter end -- as a serpent it biteth, And as a  basilisk it stingeth. 
20O 023:033 Thine eyes see strange women, And thy heart speaketh  perverse things. 
20O 023:034 And thou hast been as one lying down in the heart of the  sea, And as one lying down on the top of a mast. 
20O 023:035 `They smote me, I have not been sick, They beat me, I have  not known. When I awake -- I seek it yet again!' 
20O 024:001 Be not envious of evil men, And desire not to be with them. 
20O 024:002 For destruction doth their heart meditate, And perverseness  do their lips speak. 
20O 024:003 By wisdom is a house builded, And by understanding it  establisheth itself. 
20O 024:004 And by knowledge the inner parts are filled, [With] all  precious and pleasant wealth. 
20O 024:005 Mighty [is] the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is  strengthening power, 
20O 024:006 For by plans thou makest for thyself war, And deliverance  [is] in a multitude of counsellors. 
20O 024:007 Wisdom [is] high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his  mouth. 
20O 024:008 Whoso is devising to do evil, Him they call a master of  wicked thoughts. 
20O 024:009 The thought of folly [is] sin, And an abomination to man  [is] a scorner. 
20O 024:010 Thou hast shewed thyself weak in a day of adversity,  Straitened is thy power, 
20O 024:011 If [from] delivering those taken to death, And those  slipping to the slaughter -- thou keepest back. 
20O 024:012 When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.' Is not the  Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy  soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to  his work. 
20O 024:013 Eat my son, honey that [is] good, And the honeycomb --  sweet to thy palate. 
20O 024:014 So [is] the knowledge of wisdom to thy soul, If thou hast  found that there is a posterity And thy hope is not cut off. 
20O 024:015 Lay not wait, O wicked one, At the habitation of the  righteous. Do not spoil his resting-place. 
20O 024:016 For seven [times] doth the righteous fall and rise, And  the wicked stumble in evil. 
20O 024:017 In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his  stumbling let not thy heart be joyful, 
20O 024:018 Lest Jehovah see, and [it be] evil in His eyes, And He  hath turned from off him His anger. 
20O 024:019 Fret not thyself at evil doers, Be not envious at the  wicked, 
20O 024:020 For there is not a posterity to the evil, The lamp of the  wicked is extinguished. 
20O 024:021 Fear Jehovah, my son, and the king, With changers mix not  up thyself, 
20O 024:022 For suddenly doth their calamity rise, And the ruin of  them both -- who knoweth! 
20O 024:023 These also are for the wise: --  To discern faces in  judgment is not good. 
20O 024:024 Whoso is saying to the wicked, `Thou [art] righteous,'  Peoples execrate him -- nations abhor him. 
20O 024:025 And to those reproving it is pleasant, And on them cometh  a good blessing. 
20O 024:026 Lips he kisseth who is returning straightforward words. 
20O 024:027 Prepare in an out-place thy work, And make it ready in the  field -- go afterwards, Then thou hast built thy house. 
20O 024:028 Be not a witness for nought against thy neighbour, Or thou  hast enticed with thy lips. 
20O 024:029 Say not, `As he did to me, so I do to him, I render to  each according to his work.' 
20O 024:030 Near the field of a slothful man I passed by, And near the  vineyard of a man lacking heart. 
20O 024:031 And lo, it hath gone up -- all of it -- thorns! Covered  its face have nettles, And its stone wall hath been broken  down. 
20O 024:032 And I see -- I -- I do set my heart, I have seen -- I have  received instruction, 
20O 024:033 A little sleep -- a little slumber --  A little folding of  the hands to lie down. 
20O 024:034 And thy poverty hath come [as] a traveller, And thy want  as an armed man! 
20O 025:001 Also these are Proverbs of Solomon, that men of Hezekiah  king of Judah transcribed: -- 
20O 025:002 The honour of God [is] to hide a thing, And the honour of  kings to search out a matter. 
20O 025:003 The heavens for height, and the earth for depth, And the  heart of kings -- [are] unsearchable. 
20O 025:004 Take away dross from silver, And a vessel for the refiner  goeth forth, 
20O 025:005 Take away the wicked before a king, And established in  righteousness is his throne. 
20O 025:006 Honour not thyself before a king, And in the place of the  great stand not. 
20O 025:007 For better [that] he hath said to thee, `Come thou up  hither,' Than [that] he humble thee before a noble, Whom thine  eyes have seen. 
20O 025:008 Go not forth to strive, haste, turn, What dost thou in its  latter end, When thy neighbour causeth thee to blush? 
20O 025:009 Thy cause plead with thy neighbour, And the secret counsel  of another reveal not, 
20O 025:010 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report  turn not back. 
20O 025:011 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken  at its fit times. 
20O 025:012 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the  wise reprover to an attentive ear. 
20O 025:013 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a  faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his  masters he refresheth. 
20O 025:014 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man  boasting himself in a false gift. 
20O 025:015 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue  breaketh a bone. 
20O 025:016 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be  satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it. 
20O 025:017 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be  satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee. 
20O 025:018 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man  testifying against his neighbour a false testimony. 
20O 025:019 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, [Is] the confidence of  the treacherous in a day of adversity. 
20O 025:020 Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, [Is as]  vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart. 
20O 025:021 If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat  bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water. 
20O 025:022 For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth  recompense to thee. 
20O 025:023 A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue --  indignant faces. 
20O 025:024 Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than [with] a woman  of contentions, and a house of company. 
20O 025:025 [As] cold waters for a weary soul, So [is] a good report  from a far country. 
20O 025:026 A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, [Is] the  righteous falling before the wicked. 
20O 025:027 The eating of much honey is not good, Nor a searching out  of one's own honour -- honour. 
20O 025:028 A city broken down without walls, [Is] a man without  restraint over his spirit! 
20O 026:001 As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, So honour [is]  not comely for a fool. 
20O 026:002 As a bird by wandering, as a swallow by flying, So reviling  without cause doth not come. 
20O 026:003 A whip is for a horse, a bridle for an ass, And a rod for  the back of fools. 
20O 026:004 Answer not a fool according to his folly, Lest thou be like  to him -- even thou. 
20O 026:005 Answer a fool according to his folly, Lest he be wise in  his own eyes. 
20O 026:006 He is cutting off feet, he is drinking injury, Who is  sending things by the hand of a fool. 
20O 026:007 Weak have been the two legs of the lame, And a parable in  the mouth of fools. 
20O 026:008 As one who is binding a stone in a sling, So [is] he who is  giving honour to a fool. 
20O 026:009 A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a  parable in the mouth of fools. 
20O 026:010 Great [is] the Former of all, And He is rewarding a fool,  And is rewarding transgressors. 
20O 026:011 As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating  his folly. 
20O 026:012 Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a  fool than of him! 
20O 026:013 The slothful hath said, `A lion [is] in the way, A lion  [is] in the broad places.' 
20O 026:014 The door turneth round on its hinge, And the slothful on  his bed. 
20O 026:015 The slothful hath hid his hand in a dish, He is weary of  bringing it back to his mouth. 
20O 026:016 Wiser [is] the slothful in his own eyes, Than seven [men]  returning a reason. 
20O 026:017 Laying hold on the ears of a dog, [Is] a passer-by making  himself wrath for strife not his own. 
20O 026:018 As [one] pretending to be feeble, Who is casting sparks,  arrows, and death, 
20O 026:019 So hath a man deceived his neighbour, And hath said, `Am  not I playing?' 
20O 026:020 Without wood is fire going out, And without a tale-bearer,  contention ceaseth, 
20O 026:021 Coal to burning coals, and wood to fire, And a man of  contentions to kindle strife. 
20O 026:022 The words of a tale-bearer [are] as self-inflicted wounds,  And they have gone down [to] the inner parts of the heart. 
20O 026:023 Silver of dross spread over potsherd, [Are] burning lips  and an evil heart. 
20O 026:024 By his lips doth a hater dissemble, And in his heart he  placeth deceit, 
20O 026:025 When his voice is gracious trust not in him, For seven  abominations [are] in his heart. 
20O 026:026 Hatred is covered by deceit, Revealed is its wickedness in  an assembly. 
20O 026:027 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And the roller of  a stone, to him it turneth. 
20O 026:028 A lying tongue hateth its bruised ones, And a flattering  mouth worketh an overthrow! 
20O 027:001 Boast not thyself of to-morrow, For thou knowest not what a  day bringeth forth. 
20O 027:002 Let another praise thee, and not thine own mouth, A  stranger, and not thine own lips. 
20O 027:003 A stone [is] heavy, and the sand [is] heavy, And the anger  of a fool Is heavier than they both. 
20O 027:004 Fury [is] fierce, and anger [is] overflowing, And who  standeth before jealousy? 
20O 027:005 Better [is] open reproof than hidden love. 
20O 027:006 Faithful are the wounds of a lover, And abundant the kisses  of an enemy. 
20O 027:007 A satiated soul treadeth down a honeycomb, And [to] a  hungry soul every bitter thing [is] sweet. 
20O 027:008 As a bird wandering from her nest, So [is] a man wandering  from his place. 
20O 027:009 Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart, And the sweetness  of one's friend -- from counsel of the soul. 
20O 027:010 Thine own friend, and the friend of thy father, forsake  not, And the house of thy brother enter not In a day of thy  calamity, Better [is] a near neighbour than a brother afar off. 
20O 027:011 Be wise, my son, and rejoice my heart. And I return my  reproacher a word. 
20O 027:012 The prudent hath seen the evil, he is hidden, The simple  have passed on, they are punished. 
20O 027:013 Take his garment, when a stranger hath been surety, And  for a strange woman pledge it. 
20O 027:014 Whoso is saluting his friend with a loud voice, In the  morning rising early, A light thing it is reckoned to him. 
20O 027:015 A continual dropping in a day of rain, And a woman of  contentions are alike, 
20O 027:016 Whoso is hiding her hath hidden the wind, And the ointment  of his right hand calleth out. 
20O 027:017 Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of  his friend. 
20O 027:018 The keeper of a fig-tree eateth its fruit, And the  preserver of his master is honoured. 
20O 027:019 As [in] water the face [is] to face, So the heart of man  to man. 
20O 027:020 Sheol and destruction are not satisfied, And the eyes of  man are not satisfied. 
20O 027:021 A refining pot [is] for silver, and a furnace for gold,  And a man according to his praise. 
20O 027:022 If thou dost beat the foolish in a mortar, Among washed  things -- with a pestle, His folly turneth not aside from off  him. 
20O 027:023 Know well the face of thy flock, Set thy heart to the  droves, 
20O 027:024 For riches [are] not to the age, Nor a crown to generation  and generation. 
20O 027:025 Revealed was the hay, and seen the tender grass, And  gathered the herbs of mountains. 
20O 027:026 Lambs [are] for thy clothing, And the price of the field  [are] he-goats, 
20O 027:027 And a sufficiency of goats' milk [is] for thy bread, For  bread to thy house, and life to thy damsels! 
20O 028:001 The wicked have fled and there is no pursuer. And the  righteous as a young lion is confident. 
20O 028:002 By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by  an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged. 
20O 028:003 A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping  rain, and there is no bread. 
20O 028:004 Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping  the law plead against them. 
20O 028:005 Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah  understand all. 
20O 028:006 Better [is] the poor walking in his integrity, Than the  perverse of ways who is rich. 
20O 028:007 Whoso is keeping the law is an intelligent son, And a  friend of gluttons, Doth cause his father to blush. 
20O 028:008 Whoso is multiplying his wealth by biting and usury, For  one favouring the poor doth gather it. 
20O 028:009 Whoso is turning his ear from hearing the law, Even his  prayer [is] an abomination. 
20O 028:010 Whoso is causing the upright to err in an evil way, Into  his own pit he doth fall, And the perfect do inherit good. 
20O 028:011 A rich man is wise in his own eyes, And the intelligent  poor searcheth him. 
20O 028:012 In the exulting of the righteous the glory [is] abundant,  And in the rising of the wicked man is apprehensive. 
20O 028:013 Whoso is covering his transgressions prospereth not, And  he who is confessing and forsaking hath mercy. 
20O 028:014 O the happiness of a man fearing continually, And whoso is  hardening his heart falleth into evil. 
20O 028:015 A growling lion, and a ranging bear, [Is] the wicked ruler  over a poor people. 
20O 028:016 A leader lacking understanding multiplieth oppressions,  Whoso is hating dishonest gain prolongeth days. 
20O 028:017 A man oppressed with the blood of a soul, Unto the pit  fleeth, none taketh hold on him. 
20O 028:018 Whoso is walking uprightly is saved, And the perverted of  ways falleth at once. 
20O 028:019 Whoso is tilling his ground is satisfied [with] bread, And  whoso is pursuing vanity, Is filled [with] poverty. 
20O 028:020 A stedfast man hath multiplied blessings, And whoso is  hasting to be rich is not acquitted. 
20O 028:021 To discern faces is not good, And for a piece of bread  doth a man transgress. 
20O 028:022 Troubled for wealth [is] the man [with] an evil eye, And  he knoweth not that want doth meet him. 
20O 028:023 Whoso is reproving a man afterwards findeth grace, More  than a flatterer with the tongue. 
20O 028:024 Whoso is robbing his father, or his mother, And is saying,  `It is not transgression,' A companion he is to a destroyer. 
20O 028:025 Whoso is proud in soul stirreth up contention, And whoso  is trusting on Jehovah is made fat. 
20O 028:026 Whoso is trusting in his heart is a fool, And whoso is  walking in wisdom is delivered. 
20O 028:027 Whoso is giving to the poor hath no lack, And whoso is  hiding his eyes multiplied curses. 
20O 028:028 In the rising of the wicked a man is hidden, And in their  destruction the righteous multiply! 
20O 029:001 A man often reproved, hardening the neck, Is suddenly  broken, and there is no healing. 
20O 029:002 In the multiplying of the righteous the people rejoice, And  in the ruling of the wicked the people sigh. 
20O 029:003 A man loving wisdom rejoiceth his father, And a friend of  harlots destroyeth wealth. 
20O 029:004 A king by judgment establisheth a land, And one receiving  gifts throweth it down. 
20O 029:005 A man taking a portion above his neighbour, Spreadeth a net  for his own steps. 
20O 029:006 In the transgression of the evil [is] a snare, And the  righteous doth sing and rejoice. 
20O 029:007 The righteous knoweth the plea of the poor, The wicked  understandeth not knowledge. 
20O 029:008 Men of scorning ensnare a city, And the wise turn back  anger. 
20O 029:009 A wise man is judged by the foolish man, And he hath been  angry, And he hath laughed, and there is no rest. 
20O 029:010 Men of blood hate the perfect, And the upright seek his  soul. 
20O 029:011 A fool bringeth out all his mind, And the wise till  afterwards restraineth it. 
20O 029:012 A ruler who is attending to lying words, All his ministers  [are] wicked. 
20O 029:013 The poor and the man of frauds have met together, Jehovah  is enlightening the eyes of them both. 
20O 029:014 a king that is judging truly the poor, His throne for ever  is established. 
20O 029:015 A rod and reproof give wisdom, And a youth let away is  shaming his mother. 
20O 029:016 In the multiplying of the wicked transgression  multiplieth, And the righteous on their fall do look. 
20O 029:017 Chastise thy son, and he giveth thee comfort, Yea, he  giveth delights to thy soul. 
20O 029:018 Without a Vision is a people made naked, And whoso is  keeping the law, O his happiness! 
20O 029:019 By words a servant is not instructed though he understand,  And there is nothing answering. 
20O 029:020 Thou hast seen a man hasty in his words! More hope of a  fool than of him. 
20O 029:021 Whoso is bringing up his servant delicately, from youth,  [At] his latter end also he is continuator. 
20O 029:022 An angry man stirreth up contention, And a furious man is  multiplying transgression. 
20O 029:023 The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit  upholdeth honour. 
20O 029:024 Whoso is sharing with a thief is hating his own soul,  Execration he heareth, and telleth not. 
20O 029:025 Fear of man causeth a snare, And the confident in Jehovah  is set on high. 
20O 029:026 Many are seeking the face of a ruler, And from Jehovah  [is] the judgment of each. 
20O 029:027 An abomination to the righteous [is] the perverse man, And  an abomination to the wicked [is] the upright in the way! 
20O 030:001 Words of a Gatherer, son of an obedient one, the  declaration, an affirmation of the man: --  I have wearied  myself [for] God, I have wearied myself [for] God, and am  consumed. 
20O 030:002 For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the  understanding of a man. 
20O 030:003 Nor have I learned wisdom, Yet the knowledge of Holy Ones I  know. 
20O 030:004 Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered  the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who  established all ends of the earth? What [is] His name? and what  His son's name? Surely thou knowest! 
20O 030:005 Every saying of God [is] tried, A shield He [is] to those  trusting in Him. 
20O 030:006 Add not to His words, lest He reason with thee, And thou  hast been found false. 
20O 030:007 Two things I have asked from Thee, Withhold not from me  before I die. 
20O 030:008 Vanity and a lying word put far from me, Poverty or wealth  give not to me, Cause me to eat the bread of my portion, 
20O 030:009 Lest I become satiated, and have denied, And have said,  `Who [is] Jehovah?' And lest I be poor, and have stolen, And  have laid hold of the name of my God. 
20O 030:010 Accuse not a servant unto his lord, Lest he disesteem  thee, and thou be found guilty. 
20O 030:011 A generation [is], that lightly esteemeth their father,  And their mother doth not bless. 
20O 030:012 A generation -- pure in their own eyes, But from their own  filth not washed. 
20O 030:013 A generation -- how high are their eyes, Yea, their  eyelids are lifted up. 
20O 030:014 A generation -- swords [are] their teeth, And knives --  their jaw-teeth, To consume the poor from earth, And the needy  from [among] men. 
20O 030:015 To the leech [are] two daughters, `Give, give, Lo, three  things are not satisfied, Four have not said `Sufficiency;' 
20O 030:016 Sheol, and a restrained womb, Earth -- it [is] not  satisfied [with] water, And fire -- it hath not said,  `Sufficiency,' 
20O 030:017 An eye that mocketh at a father, And despiseth to obey a  mother, Dig it out do ravens of the valley, And eat it do young  eagles. 
20O 030:018 Three things have been too wonderful for me, Yea, four  that I have not known: 
20O 030:019 The way of the eagle in the heavens, The way of a serpent  on a rock, The way of a ship in the heart of the sea, And the  way of a man in youth. 
20O 030:020 So -- the way of an adulterous woman, She hath eaten and  hath wiped her mouth, And hath said, `I have not done  iniquity.' 
20O 030:021 For three things hath earth been troubled, And for four --  it is not able to bear: 
20O 030:022 For a servant when he reigneth, And a fool when he is  satisfied with bread, 
20O 030:023 For a hated one when she ruleth, And a maid-servant when  she succeedeth her mistress. 
20O 030:024 Four [are] little ones of earth, And they are made wiser  than the wise: 
20O 030:025 The ants [are] a people not strong, And they prepare in  summer their food, 
20O 030:026 Conies [are] a people not strong, And they place in a rock  their house, 
20O 030:027 A king there is not to the locust, And it goeth out --  each one shouting, 
20O 030:028 A spider with two hands taketh hold, And is in the palaces  of a king. 
20O 030:029 Three there are going well, Yea, four are good in going: 
20O 030:030 An old lion -- mighty among beasts, That turneth not back  from the face of any, 
20O 030:031 A girt one of the loins, or a he-goat, And a king -- no  rising up with him. 
20O 030:032 If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if  thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth! 
20O 030:033 For the churning of milk bringeth out butter, And the  wringing of the nose bringeth out blood, And the forcing of  anger bringeth out strife! 
20O 031:001 Words of Lemuel a king, a declaration that his mother  taught him: 
20O 031:002 `What, my son? and what, son of my womb? And what, son of  my vows? 
20O 031:003 Give not to women thy strength, And thy ways to wiping away  of kings. 
20O 031:004 Not for kings, O Lemuel, Not for kings, to drink wine, And  for princes a desire of strong drink. 
20O 031:005 Lest he drink, and forget the decree, And change the  judgment of any of the sons of affliction. 
20O 031:006 Give strong drink to the perishing, And wine to the bitter  in soul, 
20O 031:007 He drinketh, and forgetteth his poverty, And his misery he  remembereth not again. 
20O 031:008 Open thy mouth for the dumb, For the right of all sons of  change. 
20O 031:009 Open thy mouth, judge righteously, Both the cause of the  poor and needy!' 
20O 031:010 A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies [is]  her price. 
20O 031:011 The heart of her husband hath trusted in her, And spoil he  lacketh not. 
20O 031:012 She hath done him good, and not evil, All days of her  life. 
20O 031:013 She hath sought wool and flax, And with delight she  worketh [with] her hands. 
20O 031:014 She hath been as ships of the merchant, From afar she  bringeth in her bread. 
20O 031:015 Yea, she riseth while yet night, And giveth food to her  household, And a portion to her damsels. 
20O 031:016 She hath considered a field, and taketh it, From the fruit  of her hands she hath planted a vineyard. 
20O 031:017 She hath girded with might her loins, And doth strengthen  her arms. 
20O 031:018 She hath perceived when her merchandise [is] good, Her  lamp is not extinguished in the night. 
20O 031:019 Her hands she hath sent forth on a spindle, And her hands  have held a distaff. 
20O 031:020 Her hand she hath spread forth to the poor, Yea, her hands  she sent forth to the needy. 
20O 031:021 She is not afraid of her household from snow, For all her  household are clothed [with] scarlet. 
20O 031:022 Ornamental coverings she hath made for herself, Silk and  purple [are] her clothing. 
20O 031:023 Known in the gates is her husband, In his sitting with  elders of the land. 
20O 031:024 Linen garments she hath made, and selleth, And a girdle  she hath given to the merchant. 
20O 031:025 Strength and honour [are] her clothing, And she rejoiceth  at a latter day. 
20O 031:026 Her mouth she hath opened in wisdom, And the law of  kindness [is] on her tongue. 
20O 031:027 She [is] watching the ways of her household, And bread of  sloth she eateth not. 
20O 031:028 Her sons have risen up, and pronounce her happy, Her  husband, and he praiseth her, 
20O 031:029 `Many [are] the daughters who have done worthily, Thou  hast gone up above them all.' 
20O 031:030 The grace [is] false, and the beauty [is] vain, A woman  fearing Jehovah, she may boast herself. 
20O 031:031 Give ye to her of the fruit of her hands, And her works do  praise her in the gates! 
21O 001:001 Words of a preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: 
21O 001:002 Vanity of vanities, said the Preacher, Vanity of vanities:  the whole [is] vanity. 
21O 001:003 What advantage [is] to man by all his labour that he  laboureth at under the sun? 
21O 001:004 A generation is going, and a generation is coming, and the  earth to the age is standing. 
21O 001:005 Also, the sun hath risen, and the sun hath gone in, and unto  its place panting it is rising there. 
21O 001:006 Going unto the south, and turning round unto the north,  turning round, turning round,  the wind is going, and by its  circuits the wind hath returned. 
21O 001:007 All the streams are going unto the sea, and the sea is not  full; unto a place whither the streams are going, thither they  are turning back to go. 
21O 001:008 All these things are wearying; a man is not able to speak,  the eye is not satisfied by seeing, nor filled is the ear from  hearing. 
21O 001:009 What [is] that which hath been? it [is] that which is, and  what [is] that which hath been done? it [is] that which is  done, and there is not an entirely new thing under the sun. 
21O 001:010 There is a thing of which [one] saith: `See this, it [is]  new!' already it hath been in the ages that were before us! 
21O 001:011 There is not a  remembrance of former [generations]; and  also of the latter that are, there is no  remembrance of them  with those that are at the last. 
21O 001:012 I, a preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. 
21O 001:013 And I have given my heart to seek and to search out by  wisdom concerning all that hath been done under the heavens. It  [is] a sad travail God hath given to the sons of man to be  humbled by it. 
21O 001:014 I have seen all the works that have been done under the  sun, and lo, the whole [is] vanity and vexation of spirit! 
21O 001:015 A crooked thing [one] is not able to make straight, and a  lacking thing is not able to be numbered. 
21O 001:016 I -- I spake with my heart, saying, `I, lo, I have  magnified and added wisdom above every one who hath been before  me at Jerusalem, and my heart hath seen abundantly wisdom and  knowledge. 
21O 001:017 And I give my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and  folly: I have known that even this [is] vexation of spirit; 
21O 001:018 for, in abundance of wisdom [is] abundance of sadness, and  he who addeth knowledge addeth pain.' 
21O 002:001 I said in my heart, `Pray, come, I try thee with mirth, and  look thou on gladness;' and lo, even it [is] vanity. 
21O 002:002 Of laughter I said, `Foolish!' and of mirth, `What [is] this  it is doing?' 
21O 002:003 I have sought in my heart to draw out with wine my appetite,  (and my heart leading in wisdom), and to take hold on folly  till that I see where [is] this -- the good to the sons of man  of that which they do under the heavens, the number of the days  of their lives. 
21O 002:004 I made great my works, I builded for me houses, I planted  for me vineyards. 
21O 002:005 I made for me gardens and paradises, and I planted in them  trees of every fruit. 
21O 002:006 I made for me pools of water, to water from them a forest  shooting forth trees. 
21O 002:007 I got men-servants, and maid-servants, and sons of the house  were to me; also, I had much substance -- herd and flock --  above all who had been before me in Jerusalem. 
21O 002:008 I gathered for me also silver and gold, and the peculiar  treasure of kings and of the provinces. I prepared for me  men-singers and women-singers, and the luxuries of the sons of  man -- a wife and wives. 
21O 002:009 And I became great, and increased above every one who had  been before me in Jerusalem; also, my wisdom stood with me. 
21O 002:010 And all that mine eyes asked I kept not back from them; I  withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart rejoiced  because of all my labour, and this hath been my portion, from  all my labour, 
21O 002:011 and I have looked on all my works that my hands have done,  and on the labour that I have laboured to do, and lo, the whole  [is] vanity and vexation of spirit, and there is no advantage  under the sun! 
21O 002:012 And I turned to see wisdom, and madness, and folly, but  what [is] the man who cometh after the king? that which [is]  already -- they have done it! 
21O 002:013 And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom  above  folly, like the advantage of the light above  the darkness. 
21O 002:014 The wise! -- his eyes [are] in his head, and the fool in  darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth  with them all; 
21O 002:015 and I said in my heart, `As it happeneth with the fool, it  happeneth also with me, and why am I then more wise?' And I  spake in my heart, that also this [is] vanity: 
21O 002:016 That there is no remembrance to the wise -- with the fool  -- to the age, for that which [is] already, [in] the days that  are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the  fool! 
21O 002:017 And I have hated life, for sad to me [is] the work that  hath been done under the sun, for the whole [is] vanity and  vexation of spirit. 
21O 002:018 And I have hated all my labour that I  labour at under the  sun, because I leave it to a man who is after me. 
21O 002:019 And who knoweth whether he is wise or foolish? yet he doth  rule over all my labour that I have laboured at, and that I  have done wisely under  the sun! this also [is] vanity. 
21O 002:020 And I turned round to cause my heart to despair concerning  all the labour that I laboured at under the sun. 
21O 002:021 For there is a man whose labour [is] in wisdom, and in  knowledge, and in equity, and to a man who hath not laboured  therein he giveth it -- his portion! Even this [is] vanity and  a great evil. 
21O 002:022 For what hath been to a man by all his labour, and by the  thought of his heart that he laboured at under the sun? 
21O 002:023 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail sadness; even  at night his heart hath not lain down; this also [is] vanity. 
21O 002:024 There is nothing good in a man who eateth, and hath drunk,  and hath shewn his soul good in his labour. This also I have  seen that it [is] from the hand of God. 
21O 002:025 For who eateth and who hasteth out more than I? 
21O 002:026 For to a man who [is] good before Him, He hath  given  wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; and to a sinner He hath given  travail, to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before  God. Even this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. 
21O 003:001 To everything -- a season, and a time to every delight under  the heavens: 
21O 003:002 A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant,  And a time to eradicate the planted. 
21O 003:003 A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down,  And a time to build up. 
21O 003:004 A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a  time to skip. 
21O 003:005 A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A  time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing. 
21O 003:006 A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a  time to cast away. 
21O 003:007 A time to rend, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And  a time to speak. 
21O 003:008 A time to love, And a time to hate. A time of war, And a  time of peace. 
21O 003:009 What advantage hath the doer in that which he is labouring  at? 
21O 003:010 I have seen the travail that God hath given to the sons of  man to be humbled by it. 
21O 003:011 The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that  knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth  not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even  unto the end. 
21O 003:012 I have known that there is no good for them except to  rejoice and to do good during their life, 
21O 003:013 yea, even every man who eateth and hath drunk and seen good  by all his labour, it [is] a gift of God. 
21O 003:014 I have known that all that God doth is to the age, to it  nothing is to be added, and from it nothing is to be withdrawn;  and God hath wrought that they do fear before Him. 
21O 003:015 What is that which hath been? already it is, and that which  [is] to be hath already been, and God requireth that which is  pursued. 
21O 003:016 And again, I have seen under the sun the place of judgment  -- there [is] the wicked; and the place of righteousness --  there [is] the wicked. 
21O 003:017 I said in my heart, `The righteous and the wicked doth God  judge, for a time [is] to every matter and for every work  there.' 
21O 003:018 I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man  that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves  [are] beasts. 
21O 003:019 For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to]  the beasts, even one event [is] to them; as the death of this,  so [is] the death of that; and one spirit [is] to all, and the  advantage of man above the beast is nothing, for the whole [is]  vanity. 
21O 003:020 The whole are going unto one place, the whole have been  from the dust, and the whole are turning back unto the dust. 
21O 003:021 Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that is going up  on high, and the spirit of the beast that is going down below  to the earth? 
21O 003:022 And I have seen that there is nothing better than that man  rejoice in his works, for it [is] his portion; for who doth  bring him in to look on that which is after him? 
21O 004:001 And I have turned, and I see all the oppressions that are  done under the sun, and lo, the tear of the oppressed, and they  have no comforter; and at the hand of their oppressors [is]  power, and they have no comforter. 
21O 004:002 And I am praising the dead who have already died above the  living who are yet alive. 
21O 004:003 And better than both of them [is] he who hath not yet been,  in that he hath not seen the evil work that hath been done  under the sun. 
21O 004:004 And I have seen all the labour, and all the benefit of the  work, because for it a man is the envy of his neighbour. Even  this [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. 
21O 004:005 The fool is clasping his hands, and eating his own flesh: 
21O 004:006 `Better [is] a handful [with] quietness, than two handfuls  [with] labour and vexation of spirit.' 
21O 004:007 And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun: 
21O 004:008 There is one, and there is not a second; even son or brother  he hath not, and there is no end to all his labour! His eye  also is not satisfied with riches, and [he saith not], `For  whom am I labouring and bereaving my soul of good?' This also  is vanity, it is a sad travail. 
21O 004:009 The two [are] better than the one, in that they have a good  reward by their labour. 
21O 004:010 For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but wo  to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him  up! 
21O 004:011 Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath  one heat? 
21O 004:012 And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against  him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken. 
21O 004:013 Better is a poor and wise youth than an old and foolish  king, who hath not known to be warned any more. 
21O 004:014 For from a house of prisoners he hath come out to reign,  for even in his own kingdom he hath been poor. 
21O 004:015 I have seen all the living, who are walking under the sun,  with the second youth who doth stand in his place; 
21O 004:016 there is no end to all the people, to all who were before  them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is  vanity and vexation of spirit. 
21O 005:001 Keep thy feet when thou goest unto a house of God, and draw  near to hear rather than to give of fools the sacrifice, for  they do not know they do evil. 
21O 005:002 Cause not thy mouth to hasten, and let not thy heart hasten  to bring out a word before God, for God is in the heavens, and  thou on the earth, therefore let thy words be few. 
21O 005:003 For the dream hath come by abundance of business, and the  voice of a fool by abundance of words. 
21O 005:004 When thou vowest a vow to God, delay not to complete it, for  there is no pleasure in fools; that which thou vowest --  complete. 
21O 005:005 Better that thou do not vow, than that thou dost vow and  dost not complete. 
21O 005:006 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin, nor say  before the messenger, that `it [is] an error,' why is God wroth  because of thy voice, and hath destroyed the work of thy hands? 
21O 005:007 For, in the abundance of dreams both vanities and words  abound; but fear thou God. 
21O 005:008 If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of  judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not  marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing,  and high ones [are] over them. 
21O 005:009 And the abundance of a land is for all. A king for a field  is served. 
21O 005:010 Whoso is loving silver is not satisfied [with] silver, nor  he who is in love with stores [with] increase. Even this [is]  vanity. 
21O 005:011 In the multiplying of good have its consumers been  multiplied, and what benefit [is] to its possessor except the  sight of his eyes? 
21O 005:012 Sweet [is] the sleep of the labourer whether he eat little  or much; and the sufficiency of the wealthy is not suffering  him to sleep. 
21O 005:013 There is a painful evil I have seen under the sun: wealth  kept for its possessor, for his evil. 
21O 005:014 And that wealth hath been lost in an evil business, and he  hath begotten a son and there is nothing in his hand! 
21O 005:015 As he came out from the belly of his mother, naked he  turneth back to go as he came, and he taketh not away anything  of his labour, that doth go in his hand. 
21O 005:016 And this also [is] a painful evil, just as he came, so he  goeth, and what advantage [is] to him who laboureth for wind? 
21O 005:017 Also all his days in darkness he consumeth, and sadness,  and wrath, and sickness abound. 
21O 005:018 Lo, that which I have seen: [It is] good, because  beautiful, to eat, and to drink, and to see good in all one's  labour that he laboureth at under the sun, the number of the  days of his life that God hath given to him, for it [is] his  portion. 
21O 005:019 Every man also to whom God hath given wealth and riches,  and hath given him power to eat of it, and to accept his  portion, and to rejoice in his labour, this is a gift of God. 
21O 005:020 For he doth not much remember the days of his life, for God  is answering through the joy of his heart. 
21O 006:001 There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it [is]  great on man: 
21O 006:002 A man to whom God giveth wealth, and riches, and honour, and  there is no lack to his soul of all that he desireth, and God  giveth him not power to eat of it, but a stranger eateth it;  this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease. 
21O 006:003 If a man doth beget a hundred, and live many years, and is  great, because they are the days of his years, and his soul is  not satisfied from the goodness, and also he hath not had a  grave, I have said, `Better than he [is] the untimely birth.' 
21O 006:004 For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in  darkness his name is covered, 
21O 006:005 Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this  than that. 
21O 006:006 And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet  good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go? 
21O 006:007 All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the soul  is not filled. 
21O 006:008 For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to  the poor who knoweth to walk before the living? 
21O 006:009 Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the going of the  soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. 
21O 006:010 What [is] that which hath been? already is its name called,  and it is known that it [is] man, and he is not able to contend  with him who is stronger than he. 
21O 006:011 For there are many things multiplying vanity; what  advantage [is] to man? 
21O 006:012 For who knoweth what [is] good for a man in life, the  number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh  them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him  under the sun? 
21O 007:001 Better [is] a name than good perfume, And the day of death  than the day of birth. 
21O 007:002 Better to go unto a house of mourning,  Than to go unto a  house of banqueting, For that is the end of all men, And the  living layeth [it] unto his heart. 
21O 007:003 Better [is] sorrow than laughter, For by the sadness of the  face the heart becometh better. 
21O 007:004 The heart of the wise [is] in a house of mourning, And the  heart of fools in a house of mirth. 
21O 007:005 Better to hear a rebuke of a wise man, Than [for] a man to  hear a song of fools, 
21O 007:006 For as the noise of thorns under the pot, So [is] the  laughter of a fool, even this [is] vanity. 
21O 007:007 Surely oppression maketh the wise mad, And a gift destroyeth  the heart. 
21O 007:008 Better [is] the latter end of a thing than its beginning,  Better [is] the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit. 
21O 007:009 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry, For anger in the  bosom of fools resteth. 
21O 007:010 Say not thou, `What was it, That the former days were  better than these?' For thou hast not asked wisely of this. 
21O 007:011 Wisdom [is] good with an inheritance, And an advantage [it  is] to those beholding the sun. 
21O 007:012 For wisdom [is] a defense, money [is] a defence, And the  advantage of the knowledge of wisdom [is], She reviveth her  possessors. 
21O 007:013 See the work of God, For who is able to make straight that  which  He made crooked? 
21O 007:014 In a day of prosperity be in gladness, And in a day of evil  consider. Also this over-against that hath God made, To the  intent that man doth not find anything after him. 
21O 007:015 The whole I have considered in the days of my vanity. There  is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is  a wrong-doer prolonging [himself] in his wrong. 
21O 007:016 Be not over-righteous, nor show thyself too wise, why art  thou desolate? 
21O 007:017 Do not much wrong, neither be thou a fool, why dost thou  die within thy time? 
21O 007:018 [It is] good that thou dost lay hold on this, and also,  from that withdrawest not thy hand, for whoso is fearing God  goeth out with them all. 
21O 007:019 The wisdom giveth strength to a wise man, more than wealth  the rulers who have been in a city. 
21O 007:020 Because there is not a righteous man on earth that doth  good and sinneth not. 
21O 007:021 Also to all the words that they speak give not thy heart,  that thou hear not thy servant reviling thee. 
21O 007:022 For many times also hath thy heart known that thou thyself  also hast reviled others. 
21O 007:023 All this I have tried by wisdom; I have said, `I am wise,'  and it [is] far from me. 
21O 007:024 Far off [is] that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth  find it? 
21O 007:025 I have turned round, also my heart, to know and to search,  and to seek out wisdom, and reason, and to know the wrong of  folly, and of foolishness the madness. 
21O 007:026 And I am finding more bitter than death, the woman whose  heart [is] nets and snares, her hands [are] bands; the good  before God escapeth from her, but the sinner is captured by  her. 
21O 007:027 See, this I have found, said the Preacher, one to one, to  find out the reason 
21O 007:028 (that still my soul had sought, and I had not found), One  man, a teacher, I have found, and a woman among all these I  have not found. 
21O 007:029 See, this alone I have found, that God made man upright,  and they -- they have sought out many devices. 
21O 008:001 Who [is] as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of  a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the  hardness of his face is changed. 
21O 008:002 I pray thee, the commandment of a king keep, even for the  sake of the oath of God. 
21O 008:003 Be not troubled at his presence, thou mayest go, stand not  in an evil thing, for all that he pleaseth he doth. 
21O 008:004 Where the word of a king [is] power [is], and who saith to  him, `What dost thou?' 
21O 008:005 Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing, and time  and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth. 
21O 008:006 For to every delight there is a time and a judgment, for the  misfortune of man is great upon him. 
21O 008:007 For he knoweth not that which shall be, for when it shall be  who declareth to him? 
21O 008:008 There is no man ruling over the spirit to restrain the  spirit, and there is no authority over the day of death, and  there is no discharge in battle, and wickedness delivereth not  its possessors. 
21O 008:009 All this I have seen so as to give my heart to every work  that hath been done under the sun; a time that man hath ruled  over man to his own evil. 
21O 008:010 And so I have seen the wicked buried, and they went in,  even from the Holy Place they go, and they are forgotten in the  city whether they had so done. This also [is] vanity. 
21O 008:011 Because sentence hath not been done [on] an evil work  speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of man is full within  them to do evil. 
21O 008:012 Though a sinner is doing evil a hundred [times], and  prolonging [himself] for it, surely also I know that there is  good to those fearing God, who fear before Him. 
21O 008:013 And good is not to the wicked, and he doth not prolong days  as a shadow, because he is not fearing before God. 
21O 008:014 There is a vanity that hath been done upon the earth, that  there are righteous ones unto whom it is coming according to  the work of the wicked, and there are wicked ones unto whom it  is coming according to the work of the righteous. I have said  that this also [is] vanity. 
21O 008:015 And I have praised mirth because there is no good to man  under the sun except to eat and to drink, and to rejoice, and  it remaineth with him of his labour the days of his life that  God hath given to him under the sun. 
21O 008:016 When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the business  that hath been done on the earth, (for there is also a  spectator in whose eyes sleep is not by day and by night), 
21O 008:017 then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able  to find out the work that hath been done under the sun, because  though man labour to seek, yet he doth not find; and even  though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find. 
21O 009:001 But all this I have laid unto my heart, so as to clear up  the whole of this, that the righteous and the wise, and their  works, [are] in the hand of God, neither love nor hatred doth  man know, the whole [is] before them. 
21O 009:002 The whole [is] as to the whole; one event is to the  righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and  to the unclean, and to him who is sacrificing, and to him who  is not sacrificing; as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner, he  who is swearing as he who is fearing an oath. 
21O 009:003 This [is] an evil among all that hath been done under the  sun, that one event [is] to all, and also the heart of the sons  of man is full of evil, and madness [is] in their heart during  their life, and after it -- unto the dead. 
21O 009:004 But [to] him who is joined unto all the living there is  confidence, for to a living dog it [is] better than to the dead  lion. 
21O 009:005 For the living know that they die, and the dead know not  anything, and there is no more to them a reward, for their  remembrance hath been forgotten. 
21O 009:006 Their love also, their hatred also, their envy also, hath  already perished, and they have no more a portion to the age in  all that hath been done under the sun. 
21O 009:007 Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a glad heart thy  wine, for already hath God been pleased with thy works. 
21O 009:008 At all times let thy garments be white, and let not perfume  be lacking on thy head. 
21O 009:009 See life with the wife whom thou hast loved, all the days of  the life of thy vanity, that He hath given to thee under the  sun, all the days of thy vanity, for it [is] thy portion in  life, even of thy labour that thou art labouring at under the  sun. 
21O 009:010 All that thy hand findeth to do, with thy power do, for  there is no work, and device, and knowledge, and wisdom in  Sheol whither thou art going. 
21O 009:011 I have turned so as to see under the sun, that not to the  swift [is] the race, nor to the mighty the battle, nor even to  the wise bread, nor even to the intelligent wealth, nor even to  the skilful grace, for time and chance happen with them all. 
21O 009:012 For even man knoweth not his time; as fish that are taken  hold of by an evil net, and as birds that are taken hold of by  a snare, like these [are] the sons of man snared at an evil  time, when it falleth upon them suddenly. 
21O 009:013 This also I have seen: wisdom under the sun, and it is  great to me. 
21O 009:014 A little city, and few men in it, and a great king hath  come unto it, and hath surrounded it, and hath built against it  great bulwarks; 
21O 009:015 and there hath been found in it a poor wise man, and he  hath delivered the city by his wisdom, and men have not  remembered that poor man! 
21O 009:016 And I said, `Better [is] wisdom than might, and the wisdom  of the poor is despised, and his words are not heard.' -- 
21O 009:017 The words of the wise in quiet are heard, More than the cry  of a ruler over fools. 
21O 009:018 Better [is] wisdom than weapons of conflict,  And one  sinner destroyeth much good! 
21O 010:001 Dead flies cause a perfumer's perfume To send forth a  stink; The precious by reason of wisdom -- By reason of honour  -- a little folly! 
21O 010:002 The heart of the wise [is] at his right hand, And the heart  of a fool at his left. 
21O 010:003 And also, when he that is a fool Is walking in the way, his  heart is lacking, And he hath said to every one, `He [is] a  fool.' 
21O 010:004 If the spirit of the ruler go up against thee, Thy place  leave not, For yielding quieteth great sinners. 
21O 010:005 There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error  that goeth out from the ruler, 
21O 010:006 He hath set the fool in many high places, And the rich in a  low place do sit. 
21O 010:007 I have seen servants on horses, And princes walking as  servants on the earth. 
21O 010:008 Whoso is digging a pit falleth into it, And whoso is  breaking a hedge, a serpent biteth him. 
21O 010:009 Whoso is removing stones is grieved by them, Whoso is  cleaving trees endangered by them. 
21O 010:010 If the iron hath been blunt, And he the face hath not  sharpened, Then doth he increase strength, And wisdom [is]  advantageous to make right. 
21O 010:011 If the serpent biteth without enchantment, Then there is  no advantage to a master of the tongue. 
21O 010:012 Words of the mouth of the wise [are] gracious, And the  lips of a fool swallow him up. 
21O 010:013 The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] folly, And  the latter end of his mouth [Is] mischievous madness. 
21O 010:014 And the fool multiplieth words: `Man knoweth not that  which is, And that which is after him, who doth declare to  him?' 
21O 010:015 The labour of the foolish wearieth him, In that he hath  not known to go unto the city. 
21O 010:016 Wo to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a youth, And thy  princes do eat in the morning. 
21O 010:017 Happy art thou, O land, When thy king [is] a son of  freemen, And thy princes do eat in due season, For might, and  not for drunkenness. 
21O 010:018 By slothfulness is the wall brought low, And by idleness  of the hands doth the house drop. 
21O 010:019 For mirth they are making a feast, And wine maketh life  joyful, And the silver answereth with all. 
21O 010:020 Even in thy mind a king revile not, And in the inner parts  of thy bed-chamber Revile not the rich: For a fowl of the  heavens causeth the voice to go, And a possessor of wings  declareth the word. 
21O 011:001 Send forth thy bread on the face of the waters, For in the  multitude of the days thou dost find it. 
21O 011:002 Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, For thou  knowest not what evil is on the earth. 
21O 011:003 If the thick clouds are full of rain, On the earth they  empty [themselves]; And if a tree doth fall in the south or to  the north, The place where the tree falleth, there it is. 
21O 011:004 Whoso is observing the wind soweth not, And whoso is  looking on the thick clouds reapeth not. 
21O 011:005 As thou knowest not what [is] the way of the spirit, How --  bones in the womb of the full one, So thou knowest not the work  of God who maketh the whole. 
21O 011:006 In the morning sow thy seed, And at even withdraw not thy  hand, For thou knowest not which is right, this or that, Or  whether both of them alike [are] good. 
21O 011:007 Sweet also [is] the light, And good for the eyes to see the  sun. 
21O 011:008 But, if man liveth many years, In all of them let him  rejoice, And remember the days of darkness, For they are many!  all that is coming [is] vanity. 
21O 011:009 Rejoice, O young man, in thy childhood, And let thy heart  gladden thee in days of thy youth, And walk in the ways of thy  heart, And in the sight of thine eyes, And know thou that for  all these, Doth God bring thee into judgment. 
21O 011:010 And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to  pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age [are]  vanity! 
21O 012:001 Remember also thy Creators in days of thy youth, While that  the evil days come not, Nor the years have arrived, that thou  sayest, `I have no pleasure in them.' 
21O 012:002 While that the sun is not darkened, and the light, And the  moon, and the stars, And the thick clouds returned after the  rain. 
21O 012:003 In the day that keepers of the house tremble, And men of  strength have bowed themselves, And grinders have ceased,  because they have become few. And those looking out at the  windows have become dim, 
21O 012:004 And doors have been shut in the street. When the noise of  the grinding is low, And [one] riseth at the voice of the bird,  And all daughters of song are bowed down. 
21O 012:005 Also of that which is high they are afraid, And of the low  places in the way, And the almond-tree is despised, And the  grasshopper is become a burden, And want is increased, For man  is going unto his home age-during, And the mourners have gone  round through the street. 
21O 012:006 While that the silver cord is not removed, And the golden  bowl broken, And the pitcher broken by the fountain, And the  wheel broken at the well. 
21O 012:007 And the dust returneth to the earth as it was, And the  spirit returneth to God who gave it. 
21O 012:008 Vanity of vanities, said the preacher, the whole [is]  vanity. 
21O 012:009 And further, because the preacher was wise, he still taught   the people knowledge, and gave ear, and sought out -- he made  right many similes. 
21O 012:010 The preacher sought to find out pleasing words,  and,  written [by] the upright, words of truth. 
21O 012:011 Words of the wise [are] as goads, and as fences planted  [by] the masters of collections, they have been given by one  shepherd. 
21O 012:012 And further, from these, my son, be warned;  the making of  many books hath no end, and much study [is] a weariness of the  flesh. 
21O 012:013 The end of the whole matter let us hear: -- `Fear God, and  keep His commands, for this [is] the whole of man. 
21O 012:014 For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every  hidden thing, whether good or bad.' 
22O 001:001 The Song of Songs, that [is] Solomon's. 
22O 001:002 Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth, For better [are]  thy loves than wine. 
22O 001:003 For fragrance [are] thy perfumes good. Perfume emptied out  -- thy name, Therefore have virgins loved thee! 
22O 001:004 Draw me: after thee we run, The king hath brought me into  his inner chambers, We do joy and rejoice in thee, We mention  thy loves more than wine, Uprightly they have loved thee! 
22O 001:005 Dark [am] I, and comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As tents of  Kedar, as curtains of Solomon. 
22O 001:006 Fear me not, because I [am] very dark, Because the sun hath  scorched me, The sons of my mother were angry with me, They  made me keeper of the vineyards, My vineyard -- my own -- I  have not kept. 
22O 001:007 Declare to me, thou whom my soul hath loved, Where thou  delightest, Where thou liest down at noon, For why am I as one  veiled, By the ranks of thy companions? 
22O 001:008 If thou knowest not, O fair among women, Get thee forth by  the traces of the flock, And feed thy kids by the shepherds'  dwellings! 
22O 001:009 To my joyous one in chariots of Pharaoh, I have compared  thee, my friend, 
22O 001:010 Comely have been thy cheeks with garlands, Thy neck with  chains. 
22O 001:011 Garlands of gold we do make for thee, With studs of silver! 
22O 001:012 While the king [is] in his circle, My spikenard hath given  its fragrance. 
22O 001:013 A bundle of myrrh [is] my beloved to me, Between my breasts  it lodgeth. 
22O 001:014 A cluster of cypress [is] my beloved to me, In the  vineyards of En-Gedi! 
22O 001:015 Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, Lo, thou [art] fair, thine  eyes [are] doves! 
22O 001:016 Lo, thou [art] fair, my love, yea, pleasant, Yea, our couch  [is] green, 
22O 001:017 The beams of our houses [are] cedars, Our rafters [are]  firs, I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys! 
22O 002:001 As a lily among the thorns, 
22O 002:002 So [is] my friend among the daughters! 
22O 002:003 As a citron among trees of the forest, So [is] my beloved  among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his  fruit [is] sweet to my palate. 
22O 002:004 He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner  over me [is] love, 
22O 002:005 Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I  [am] sick with love. 
22O 002:006 His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace  me. 
22O 002:007 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or  by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till  she please! 
22O 002:008 The voice of my beloved! lo, this -- he is coming, Leaping  on the mountains, skipping on the hills. 
22O 002:009 My beloved [is] like to a roe, Or to a young one of the  harts. Lo, this -- he is standing behind our wall, Looking from  the windows, Blooming from the lattice. 
22O 002:010 My beloved hath answered and said to me, `Rise up, my  friend, my fair one, and come away, 
22O 002:011 For lo, the winter hath passed by, The rain hath passed  away -- it hath gone. 
22O 002:012 The flowers have appeared in the earth, The time of the  singing hath come, And the voice of the turtle was heard in our  land, 
22O 002:013 The fig-tree hath ripened her green figs, And the  sweet-smelling vines have given forth fragrance, Rise, come, my  friend, my fair one, yea, come away. 
22O 002:014 My dove, in clefts of the rock, In a secret place of the  ascent, Cause me to see thine appearance, Cause me to hear thy  voice, For thy voice [is] sweet, and thy appearance comely. 
22O 002:015 Seize ye for us foxes, Little foxes -- destroyers of  vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards. 
22O 002:016 My beloved [is] mine, and I [am] his, Who is delighting  among the lilies, 
22O 002:017 Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled  away, Turn, be like, my beloved, To a roe, or to a young one of  the harts, On the mountains of separation! 
22O 003:001 On my couch by night, I sought him whom my soul hath loved;  I sought him, and I found him not! 
22O 003:002 -- Pray, let me rise, and go round the city, In the streets  and in the broad places, I seek him whom my soul hath loved! --  I sought him, and I found him not. 
22O 003:003 The watchmen have found me, (Who are going round about the  city), `Him whom my soul have loved saw ye?' 
22O 003:004 But a little I passed on from them, Till I found him whom my  soul hath loved! I seized him, and let him not go, Till I  brought him in unto the house of my mother -- And the chamber  of her that conceived me. 
22O 003:005 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes or  by the hinds of the field, Stir not up nor wake the love till  she please! 
22O 003:006 Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, Like palm-trees  of smoke, Perfumed [with] myrrh and frankincense, From every  powder of the merchant? 
22O 003:007 Lo, his couch, that [is] Solomon's, Sixty mighty ones [are]  around it, Of the mighty of Israel, 
22O 003:008 All of them holding sword, taught of battle, Each his sword  by his thigh, for fear at night. 
22O 003:009 A palanquin king Solomon made for himself, Of the wood of  Lebanon, 
22O 003:010 Its pillars he made of silver, Its bottom of gold, its seat  of purple, Its midst lined [with] love, By the daughters of  Jerusalem. 
22O 003:011 Go forth, and look, ye daughters of Zion, On king Solomon,  with the crown, With which his mother crowned him, In the day  of his espousals, And in the day of the joy of his heart! 
22O 004:001 Lo, thou [art] fair, my friend, lo, thou [art] fair, Thine  eyes [are] doves behind thy veil, Thy hair as a row of the  goats That have shone from mount Gilead, 
22O 004:002 Thy teeth as a row of the shorn ones That have come up from  the washing, For all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved  one is not among them. 
22O 004:003 As a thread of scarlet [are] thy lips, And thy speech [is]  comely, As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind  thy veil, 
22O 004:004 As the tower of David [is] thy neck, built for an armoury,  The chief of the shields are hung on it, All shields of the  mighty. 
22O 004:005 Thy two breasts [are] as two fawns, Twins of a roe, that are  feeding among lilies. 
22O 004:006 Till the day doth break forth, And the shadows have fled  away, I will get me unto the mountain of myrrh, And unto the  hill of frankincense. 
22O 004:007 Thou [art] all fair, my friend, And a blemish there is not  in thee. Come from Lebanon, O spouse, 
22O 004:008 Come from Lebanon, come thou in. Look from the top of Amana,  From the top of Shenir and Hermon, From the habitations of  lions, From the mountains of leopards. 
22O 004:009 Thou hast emboldened me, my sister-spouse, Emboldened me  with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck. 
22O 004:010 How wonderful have been thy loves, my sister-spouse, How  much better have been thy loves than wine, And the fragrance of  thy perfumes than all spices. 
22O 004:011 Thy lips drop honey, O spouse, Honey and milk [are] under  thy tongue, And the fragrance of thy garments [Is] as the  fragrance of Lebanon. 
22O 004:012 A garden shut up [is] my sister-spouse, A spring shut up --  a fountain sealed. 
22O 004:013 Thy shoots a paradise of pomegranates, With precious  fruits, 
22O 004:014 Cypresses with nard -- nard and saffron, Cane and cinnamon,  With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, with all chief  spices. 
22O 004:015 A fount of gardens, a well of living waters, And flowings  from Lebanon! 
22O 004:016 Awake, O north wind, and come, O south, Cause my garden to  breathe forth, its spices let flow, Let my beloved come to his  garden, And eat its pleasant fruits! 
22O 005:001 I have come in to my garden, my sister-spouse, I have  plucked my myrrh with my spice, I have eaten my comb with my  honey, I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends,  drink, Yea, drink abundantly, O beloved ones! 
22O 005:002 I am sleeping, but my heart waketh: The sound of my beloved  knocking! `Open to me, my sister, my friend, My dove, my  perfect one, For my head is filled [with] dew, My locks [with]  drops of the night.' 
22O 005:003 I have put off my coat, how do I put it on? I have washed my  feet, how do I defile them? 
22O 005:004 My beloved sent his hand from the net-work, And my bowels  were moved for him. 
22O 005:005 I rose to open to my beloved, And my hands dropped myrrh,  Yea, my fingers flowing myrrh, On the handles of the lock. 
22O 005:006 I opened to my beloved, But my beloved withdrew -- he passed  on, My soul went forth when he spake, I sought him, and found  him not. I called him, and he answered me not. 
22O 005:007 The watchmen who go round about the city, Found me, smote  me, wounded me, Keepers of the walls lifted up my veil from off  me. 
22O 005:008 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my  beloved -- What do ye tell him? that I [am] sick with love! 
22O 005:009 What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, O fair among  women? What [is] thy beloved above [any] beloved, That thus  thou hast adjured us? 
22O 005:010 My beloved [is] clear and ruddy, Conspicuous above a  myriad! 
22O 005:011 His head [is] pure gold -- fine gold, His locks flowing,  dark as a raven, 
22O 005:012 His eyes as doves by streams of water, Washing in milk,  sitting in fulness. 
22O 005:013 His cheeks as a bed of the spice, towers of perfumes, His  lips [are] lilies, dropping flowing myrrh, 
22O 005:014 His hands rings of gold, set with beryl, His heart bright  ivory, covered with sapphires, 
22O 005:015 His limbs pillars of marble, Founded on sockets of fine  gold, His appearance as Lebanon, choice as the cedars. 
22O 005:016 His mouth is sweetness -- and all of him desirable, This  [is] my beloved, and this my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem! 
22O 006:001 Whither hath thy beloved gone, O fair among women? Whither  hath thy beloved turned, And we seek him with thee? 
22O 006:002 My beloved went down to his garden, To the beds of the  spice, To delight himself in the gardens, and to gather lilies. 
22O 006:003 I [am] my beloved's, and my beloved [is] mine, Who is  delighting himself among the lilies. 
22O 006:004 Fair [art] thou, my friend, as Tirzah, Comely as Jerusalem,  Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts. 
22O 006:005 Turn round thine eyes from before me, Because they have made  me proud. Thy hair [is] as a row of the goats, That have shone  from Gilead, 
22O 006:006 Thy teeth as a row of the lambs, That have come up from the  washing, Because all of them are forming twins, And a bereaved  one is not among them. 
22O 006:007 As the work of the pomegranate [is] thy temple behind thy  veil. 
22O 006:008 Sixty are queens, and eighty concubines, And virgins without  number. 
22O 006:009 One is my dove, my perfect one, One she [is] of her mother,  The choice one she [is] of her that bare her, Daughters saw,  and pronounce her happy, Queens and concubines, and they praise  her. 
22O 006:010 `Who [is] this that is looking forth as morning, Fair as  the moon -- clear as the sun, Awe-inspiring as bannered hosts?' 
22O 006:011 Unto a garden of nuts I went down, To look on the buds of  the valley, To see whither the vine had flourished, The  pomegranates had blossomed -- 
22O 006:012 I knew not my soul, It made me -- chariots of my people  Nadib. 
22O 006:013 Return, return, O Shulammith! Return, return, and we look  upon thee. What do ye see in Shulammith? 
22O 007:001 As the chorus of `Mahanaim.' How beautiful were thy feet  with sandals, O daughter of Nadib. The turnings of thy sides  [are] as ornaments, Work of the hands of an artificer. 
22O 007:002 Thy waist [is] a basin of roundness, It lacketh not the  mixture, Thy body a heap of wheat, fenced with lilies, 
22O 007:003 Thy two breasts as two young ones, twins of a roe, 
22O 007:004 Thy neck as a tower of the ivory, Thine eyes pools in  Heshbon, near the gate of Bath-Rabbim, Thy face as a tower of  Lebanon looking to Damascus, 
22O 007:005 Thy head upon thee as Carmel, And the locks of thy head as  purple, The king is bound with the flowings! 
22O 007:006 How fair and how pleasant hast thou been, O love, in  delights. 
22O 007:007 This thy stature hath been like to a palm, And thy breasts  to clusters. 
22O 007:008 I said, `Let me go up on the palm, Let me lay hold on its  boughs, Yea, let thy breasts be, I pray thee, as clusters of  the vine, And the fragrance of thy face as citrons, 
22O 007:009 And thy palate as the good wine --' Flowing to my beloved  in uprightness, Strengthening the lips of the aged! 
22O 007:010 I [am] my beloved's, and on me [is] his desire. 
22O 007:011 Come, my beloved, we go forth to the field, 
22O 007:012 We lodge in the villages, we go early to the vineyards, We  see if the vine hath flourished, The sweet smelling-flower hath  opened. The pomegranates have blossomed, There do I give to  thee my loves; 
22O 007:013 The mandrakes have given fragrance, And at our openings all  pleasant things, New, yea, old, my beloved, I laid up for thee! 
22O 008:001 Who doth make thee as a brother to me, Sucking the breasts  of my mother? I find thee without, I kiss thee, Yea, they do  not despise me, 
22O 008:002 I lead thee, I bring thee in unto my mother's house, She  doth teach me, I cause thee to drink of the perfumed wine, Of  the juice of my pomegranate, 
22O 008:003 His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace  me. 
22O 008:004 I have adjured you, daughters of Jerusalem, How ye stir up,  And how ye wake the love till she please! 
22O 008:005 Who [is] this coming from the wilderness, Hasting herself  for her beloved? Under the citron-tree I have waked thee, There  did thy mother pledge thee, There she gave a pledge [that] bare  thee. 
22O 008:006 Set me as a seal on thy heart, as a seal on thine arm, For  strong as death is love, Sharp as Sheol is jealousy, Its  burnings [are] burnings of fire, a flame of Jah! 
22O 008:007 Many waters are not able to quench the love, And floods do  not wash it away. If one give all the wealth of his house for  love, Treading down -- they tread upon it. 
22O 008:008 We have a little sister, and breasts she hath not, What do  we do for our sister, In the day that it is told of her? 
22O 008:009 If she is a wall, we build by her a palace of silver. And if  she is a door, We fashion by her board-work of cedar. 
22O 008:010 I [am] a wall, and my breasts as towers, Then I have been  in his eyes as one finding peace. 
22O 008:011 Solomon hath a vineyard in Baal-Hamon, He hath given the  vineyard to keepers, Each bringeth for its fruit a thousand  silverlings; 
22O 008:012 My vineyard -- my own -- is before me, The thousand [is]  for thee, O Solomon. And the two hundred for those keeping its  fruit. O dweller in gardens! 
22O 008:013 The companions are attending to thy voice, Cause me to  hear. Flee, my beloved, and be like to a roe, 
22O 008:014 Or to a young one of the harts on mountains of spices! 
23O 001:001 The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen  concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham,  Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 
23O 001:002 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath  spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they -- they  transgressed against Me. 
23O 001:003 An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its  master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood. 
23O 001:004 Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy [with] iniquity, A seed  of evil doers, sons -- corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah,  They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away  backward. 
23O 001:005 Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostacy!  Every head is become diseased, and every heart [is] sick. 
23O 001:006 From the sole of the foot -- unto the head, There is no  soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They  have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with  ointment. 
23O 001:007 Your land [is] a desolation, your cities burnt with fire,  Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a  desolation as overthrown by strangers! 
23O 001:008 And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a  vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers -- as a city  besieged. 
23O 001:009 Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly --  as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like! 
23O 001:010 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to  the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah, 
23O 001:011 `Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah,  I have been satiated [with] burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of  fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have  not desired. 
23O 001:012 When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this  of your hand, To trample My courts? 
23O 001:013 Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense -- an  abomination it [is] to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of  convocation! Rendure not iniquity -- and a restraint! 
23O 001:014 Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated,  They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of  bearing. 
23O 001:015 And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes  from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your  hands of blood have been full. 
23O 001:016 Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings,  from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good. 
23O 001:017 Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the  fatherless, strive [for] the widow. 
23O 001:018 Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your  sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are  red as crimson, as wool they shall be! 
23O 001:019 If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land  ye consume, 
23O 001:020 And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, [By] the sword ye are  consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. 
23O 001:021 How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it  [with] judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it -- now murderers. 
23O 001:022 Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with  water. 
23O 001:023 Thy princes [are] apostates, and companions of thieves,  Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless  they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them. 
23O 001:024 Therefore -- the affirmation of the Lord -- Jehovah of  Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine  adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies, 
23O 001:025 And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity  thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin, 
23O 001:026 And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy  counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A  city of righteousness -- a faithful city.' 
23O 001:027 Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in  righteousness. 
23O 001:028 And the destruction of transgressors and sinners [is]  together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed. 
23O 001:029 For [men] are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have  desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye  have chosen. 
23O 001:030 For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden  that hath no water. 
23O 001:031 And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark,  And burned have both of them together, And there is none  quenching! 
23O 002:001 The thing that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen concerning Judah  and Jerusalem: 
23O 002:002 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days,  Established is the mount of Jehovah's house, Above the top of  the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the heights, And  flowed unto it have all the nations. 
23O 002:003 And gone have many peoples and said, `Come, and we go up  unto the mount of Jehovah, Unto the house of the God of Jacob,  And He doth teach us of His ways, And we walk in His paths, For  from Zion goeth forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from  Jerusalem. 
23O 002:004 And He hath judged between the nations, And hath given a  decision to many peoples, And they have beat their swords to  ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks, Nation doth  not lift up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn any more --  war. 
23O 002:005 O house of Jacob, come, And we walk in the light of  Jehovah.' 
23O 002:006 For Thou hast left Thy people, the house of Jacob. For they  have been filled from the east, And [are] sorcerers like the  Philistines, And with the children of strangers strike hands. 
23O 002:007 And its land is full of silver and gold, And there is no end  to its treasures, And its land is full of horses, And there is  no end to its chariots, 
23O 002:008 And its land is full of idols, To the work of its hands it  boweth itself, To that which its fingers have made, 
23O 002:009 And the low boweth down, and the high is humbled, And Thou  acceptest them not. 
23O 002:010 Enter into a rock, and be hidden in dust, Because of the  fear of Jehovah, And because of the honour of His excellency. 
23O 002:011 The haughty eyes of man have been humbled, And bowed down  hath been the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah  alone been in that day. 
23O 002:012 For a day [is] to Jehovah of Hosts, For every proud and  high one, And for every lifted up and low one, 
23O 002:013 And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted  ones, And for all oaks of Bashan, 
23O 002:014 And for all the high mountains, And for all the exalted  heights, 
23O 002:015 And for every high tower, And for every fenced wall, 
23O 002:016 And for all ships of Tarshish, And for all desirable  pictures. 
23O 002:017 And bowed down hath been the haughtiness of man, And  humbled the loftiness of men, And set on high hath Jehovah  alone been in that day. 
23O 002:018 And the idols -- they completely pass away. 
23O 002:019 And [men] have entered into caverns of rocks, And into  caves of dust, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of  the honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the  earth. 
23O 002:020 In that day doth man cast his idols of silver, And his  idols of gold, That they have made for him to worship, To  moles, and to bats, 
23O 002:021 To enter into cavities of the rocks, And into clefts of the  high places, Because of the fear of Jehovah, And because of the  honour of His excellency, In His rising to terrify the earth. 
23O 002:022 Cease for you from man, Whose breath [is] in his nostrils,  For -- in what is he esteemed? 
23O 003:001 For, lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is turning aside from  Jerusalem, And from Judah, stay and staff, Every stay of bread,  and every stay of water. 
23O 003:002 Hero and man of war, judge and prophet, And diviner and  elder, 
23O 003:003 Head of fifty, and accepted of faces, And counsellor, and  the wise of artificers, And the intelligent of charmers. 
23O 003:004 And I have made youths their heads, And sucklings rule over  them. 
23O 003:005 And the people hath exacted -- man upon man, Even a man on  his neighbour, Enlarge themselves do the youths against the  aged, And the lightly esteemed against the honoured. 
23O 003:006 When one layeth hold on his brother, [Of] the house of his  father, [by] the garment, `Come, a ruler thou art to us, And  this ruin [is] under thy hand.' 
23O 003:007 He lifteth up, in that day, saying: `I am not a binder up,  And in my house is neither bread nor garment, Ye do not make me  a ruler of the people.' 
23O 003:008 For stumbled hath Jerusalem, and Judah hath fallen, For  their tongue and their doings [are] against Jehovah, To provoke  the eyes of His glory. 
23O 003:009 The appearance of their faces witnessed against them, And  their sin, as Sodom, they declared, They have not hidden! Wo to  their soul, For they have done to themselves evil. 
23O 003:010 Say ye to the righteous, that [it is] good, Because the  fruit of their doings they eat. 
23O 003:011 Wo to the wicked -- evil, Because the deed of his hand is  done to him. 
23O 003:012 My people -- its exactors [are] sucklings, And women have  ruled over it. My people -- thy eulogists are causing to err,  And the way of thy paths swallowed up. 
23O 003:013 Jehovah hath stood up to plead, And He is standing to judge  the peoples. 
23O 003:014 Jehovah into judgment doth enter With elders of His people,  and its heads: `And ye, ye have consumed the vineyard, Plunder  of the poor [is] in your houses. 
23O 003:015 What -- to you? ye bruise My people, And the faces of the  poor ye grind.' An affirmation of the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts,  And Jehovah saith: 
23O 003:016 `Because that daughters of Zion have been haughty, And they  walk stretching out the neck, And deceiving [with] the eyes,  Walking and mincing they go, And with their feet they make a  tinkling, 
23O 003:017 The Lord also hath scabbed The crown of the head of  daughters of Zion, And Jehovah their simplicity exposeth. 
23O 003:018 In that day doth the Lord turn aside The beauty of the  tinkling ornaments, And of the embroidered works, And of the  round tires like moons, 
23O 003:019 Of the drops, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, 
23O 003:020 Of the bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, And of the  bands, And of the perfume boxes, and the amulets, 
23O 003:021 Of the seals, and of the nose-rings, 
23O 003:022 Of the costly apparel, and of the mantles, And of the  coverings, and of the purses, 
23O 003:023 Of the mirrors, and of the linen garments, And of the  hoods, and of the vails, 
23O 003:024 And it hath been, instead of spice is muck, And instead of  a girdle, a rope, And instead of curled work, baldness, And  instead of a stomacher a girdle of sackcloth. 
23O 003:025 For instead of glory, thy men by sword do fall, And thy  might in battle. 
23O 003:026 And lamented and mourned have her openings, Yea, she hath  been emptied, on the earth she sitteth! 
23O 004:001 And taken hold have seven women on one man, In that day,  saying, `Our own bread we do eat, And our own raiment we put  on, Only, let thy name be called over us, Remove thou our  reproach.' 
23O 004:002 In that day is the Shoot of Jehovah for desire and for  honour, And the fruit of the earth For excellence and for  beauty to the escaped of Israel. 
23O 004:003 And it hath been, he who is left in Zion, And he who is  remaining in Jerusalem, `Holy' is said of him, Of every one who  is written for life in Jerusalem. 
23O 004:004 If the Lord hath washed away The filth of daughters of Zion,  And the blood of Jerusalem purgeth from her midst, By the  spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 
23O 004:005 Then hath Jehovah prepared Over every fixed place of Mount  Zion, And over her convocations, A cloud by day, and smoke, And  the shining of a flaming fire by night, That, over all honour a  safe-guard, 
23O 004:006 And a covering may be, For a shadow by day from drought, And  for a refuge, and for a hiding place, From inundation and from  rain! 
23O 005:001 Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my  beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a  fruitful hill, 
23O 005:002 And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth  it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And  also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the  yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones! 
23O 005:003 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge,  I pray you, between me and my vineyard. 
23O 005:004 What -- to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in  it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it  yieldeth bad ones! 
23O 005:005 And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am  doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been  for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a  treading-place. 
23O 005:006 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And  gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a  charge, From raining upon it rain. 
23O 005:007 Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of  Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth  for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a  cry. 
23O 005:008 Wo [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they  bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by  yourselves In the midst of the land! 
23O 005:009 By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a  desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant! 
23O 005:010 For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer  of seed yieldeth an ephah. 
23O 005:011 Wo [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink  they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them! 
23O 005:012 And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have  been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not,  Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen. 
23O 005:013 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its  honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of  thirst. 
23O 005:014 Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her  mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its  multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one -- into her. 
23O 005:015 And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the  eyes of the haughty become low, 
23O 005:016 And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God  sanctified in righteousness, 
23O 005:017 And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste  places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume. 
23O 005:018 Wo [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity,  And as [with] thick ropes of the cart -- sin. 
23O 005:019 Who are saying, `Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work,  that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel  Draw near and come, and we know.' 
23O 005:020 Wo [to] those saying to evil `good,' And to good `evil,'  Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting  bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. 
23O 005:021 Wo [to] the wise in their own eyes, And -- before their own  faces -- intelligent! 
23O 005:022 Wo [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to  mingle strong drink. 
23O 005:023 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the  righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him. 
23O 005:024 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And  flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as  dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of  Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised. 
23O 005:025 Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His  people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth  it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in  the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not  turn back, And still His hand is stretched out! 
23O 005:026 And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed  to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it  cometh. 
23O 005:027 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not  slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its  loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals. 
23O 005:028 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of  its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a  hurricane! 
23O 005:029 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young  lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away  safely, and there is none delivering. 
23O 005:030 And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a  sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo,  darkness -- distress, And light hath been darkened by its  abundance! 
23O 006:001 In the year of the death of king Uzziah -- I see the Lord,  sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is  filling the temple. 
23O 006:002 Seraphs are standing above it: six wings hath each one; with  two [each] covereth its face, and with two [each] covereth its  feet, and with two [each] flieth. 
23O 006:003 And this one hath called unto that, and hath said: `Holy,  Holy, Holy, [is] Jehovah of Hosts, The fulness of all the earth  [is] His glory.' 
23O 006:004 And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of  him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke. 
23O 006:005 And I say, `Wo to me, for I have been silent, For a man --  unclean of lips [am] I, And in midst of a people unclean of  lips I am dwelling, Because the King, Jehovah of Hosts, have my  eyes seen.' 
23O 006:006 And flee unto me doth one of the seraphs, and in his hand a  burning coal, (with tongs he hath taken [it] from off the  altar,) 
23O 006:007 and he striketh against my mouth, and saith: `Lo, this hath  stricken against thy lips, And turned aside is thine iniquity,  And thy sin is covered.' 
23O 006:008 And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying: `Whom do I send?  and who doth go for Us?' And I say, `Here [am] I, send me.' 
23O 006:009 And He saith, `Go, and thou hast said to this people, Hear  ye -- to hear, and ye do not understand, And see ye -- to see,  and ye do not know. 
23O 006:010 Declare fat the heart of this people, And its ears declare  heavy, And its eyes declare dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes,  And with its ears hear, and its heart consider, And it hath  turned back, and hath health.' 
23O 006:011 And I say, `Till when, O Lord?' And He saith, `Surely till  cities have been wasted without inhabitant, And houses without  man, And the ground be wasted -- a desolation, 
23O 006:012 And Jehovah hath put man far off, And great [is] the  forsaken part in the heart of the land. 
23O 006:013 And yet in it a tenth, and it hath turned, And hath been  for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling,  Have substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!' 
23O 007:001 And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham,  son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram,  and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to  battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it. 
23O 007:002 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, `Aram hath  been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his  people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the  presence of wind. 
23O 007:003 And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, `Go forth, I pray thee, to  meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the  conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's  field, 
23O 007:004 and thou hast said unto him: `Take heed, and be quiet, fear  not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails  of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and  Aram, And the son of Remaliah. 
23O 007:005 Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and  the son of Remaliah, saying: 
23O 007:006 We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto  ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst -- The son  of Tabeal. 
23O 007:007 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it  be! 
23O 007:008 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus  [is] Rezin, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken  from [being] a people. 
23O 007:009 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of  Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence,  Surely ye are not stedfast.' 
23O 007:010 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying: 
23O 007:011 `Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the  request, or make [it] high upwards.' 
23O 007:012 And Ahaz saith, `I do not ask nor try Jehovah.' 
23O 007:013 And he saith, `Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a  little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God? 
23O 007:014 Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the  Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath  called his name Immanuel, 
23O 007:015 Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse  evil, and to fix on good. 
23O 007:016 For before the youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix  on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of  her two kings. 
23O 007:017 Jehovah bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the  house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day  of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of  Asshur. 
23O 007:018 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss  for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt,  And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur. 
23O 007:019 And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate  valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And  on all the commendable things. 
23O 007:020 In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired  beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair  of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth. 
23O 007:021 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive  a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock, 
23O 007:022 And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the  yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth  every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land. 
23O 007:023 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where  there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for  briers and for thorns. 
23O 007:024 With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the  land is brier and thorn. 
23O 007:025 And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order,  Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath  been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of  sheep!' 
23O 008:001 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Take to thee a great tablet, and  write upon it with a graving tool of man, To haste spoil, enjoy  prey.' 
23O 008:002 And I cause faithful witnesses to testify to me, Uriah the  priest, and Zechariah son of Jeberechiah. 
23O 008:003 And I draw near unto the prophetess, and she conceiveth, and  beareth a son; and Jehovah saith unto me, `Call his name  Maher-shalal-hash-baz, 
23O 008:004 for before the youth doth know to cry, My father, and My  mother, one taketh away the wealth of Damascus and the spoil of  Samaria, before the king of Asshur.' 
23O 008:005 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto me again, saying: 
23O 008:006 `Because that this people hath refused The waters of Shiloah  that go softly, And is rejoicing with Rezin and the son of  Remaliah, 
23O 008:007 Therefore, lo, the Lord is bringing up on them, The waters  of the river, the mighty and the great, (The king of Asshur,  and all his glory,) And it hath gone up over all its streams,  And hath gone on over all its banks. 
23O 008:008 And it hath passed on into Judah, It hath overflown and  passed over, Unto the neck it cometh, And the stretching out of  its wings Hath been the fulness of the breadth of thy land, O  Emmanu-El! 
23O 008:009 Be friends, O nations, and be broken, And give ear, all ye  far off ones of earth, Gird yourselves, and be broken, Gird  yourselves, and be broken. 
23O 008:010 Take counsel, and it is broken, Speak a word, and it doth  not stand, Because of Emmanu-El!' 
23O 008:011 For thus hath Jehovah spoken unto me with strength of hand,  and instructeth me against walking in the way of this people,  saying, 
23O 008:012 `Ye do not say, A confederacy, To all to whom this people  saith, A confederacy, And its fear ye do not fear, Nor declare  fearful. 
23O 008:013 Jehovah of Hosts -- Him ye do sanctify, And He [is] your  Fear, and He your Dread, 
23O 008:014 And He hath been for a sanctuary, And for a stone of  stumbling, and for a rock of falling, To the two houses of  Israel, For a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of  Jerusalem. 
23O 008:015 And many among them have stumbled and fallen, And been  broken, and snared, and captured. 
23O 008:016 Bind up the testimony, Seal the law among My disciples. 
23O 008:017 And I have waited for Jehovah, Who is hiding His face from  the house of Jacob, And I have looked for Him. 
23O 008:018 Lo, I, and the children whom Jehovah hath given to me,  [Are] for signs and for wonders in Israel, From Jehovah of  Hosts, who is dwelling in Mount Zion. 
23O 008:019 And when they say unto you, `Seek unto those having  familiar spirits, And unto wizards, who chatter and mutter,  Doth not a people seek unto its God? -- For the living unto the  dead! 
23O 008:020 To the law and to the testimony! If not, let them say after  this manner, `That there is no dawn to it.' 
23O 008:021 -- And it hath passed over into it, hardened and hungry,  And it hath come to pass, That it is hungry, and hath been  wroth, And made light of its king, and of its God, And hath  looked upwards. 
23O 008:022 And unto the land it looketh attentively, And lo, adversity  and darkness! -- Dimness, distress, and thick darkness is  driven away, But not the dimness for which she is in distress! 
23O 009:001 As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the  land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the  sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. 
23O 009:002 The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great  light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon  them. 
23O 009:003 Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its  joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As  [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil. 
23O 009:004 Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its  shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the  day of Midian. 
23O 009:005 For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment  rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning -- fuel of fire. 
23O 009:006 For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to  us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call  his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity,  Prince of Peace. 
23O 009:007 To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there  is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To  establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in  righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of  Jehovah of Hosts doth this. 
23O 009:008 A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in  Israel. 
23O 009:009 And the people have known -- all of it, Ephraim, and the  inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart,  saying, 
23O 009:010 `Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have  been cut down, and cedars we renew.' 
23O 009:011 And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above  him, And his enemies he joineth together, 
23O 009:012 Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they  devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned  back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out. 
23O 009:013 And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is  smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought. 
23O 009:014 And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch  and reed -- the same day, 
23O 009:015 Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet,  teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail. 
23O 009:016 And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And  its eulogised ones are consumed. 
23O 009:017 Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And  its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is]  profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly.  With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His  hand is stretched out. 
23O 009:018 For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it  devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they  lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke! 
23O 009:019 In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been  consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his  brother hath no pity, 
23O 009:020 And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he  devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each  the flesh of his own arm they devour. 
23O 009:021 Manasseh -- Ephraim, and Ephraim -- Manasseh, Together they  [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His  anger. And still His hand is stretched out! 
23O 010:001 Wo [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers  who have prescribed perverseness. 
23O 010:002 To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently  away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows  may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil. 
23O 010:003 And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation?  -- from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And  where do ye leave your honour? 
23O 010:004 Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one,  And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not  turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched  out. 
23O 010:005 Wo [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their  hand [is] Mine indignation. 
23O 010:006 Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a  people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize  prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out  places. 
23O 010:007 And he -- he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not  so, For -- to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations  not a few. 
23O 010:008 For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings? 
23O 010:009 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not  Samaria as Damascus? 
23O 010:010 As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing,  and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than  Samaria, 
23O 010:011 Do I not -- as I have done to Samaria, And to her  worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous  things? 
23O 010:012 And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all  His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the  fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And  concerning the glory of the height of his eyes. 
23O 010:013 For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought,  And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove  borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled,  And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants, 
23O 010:014 And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the  peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I --  I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or  opening mouth, or whispering.' 
23O 010:015 -- Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing  with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking  it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up  that which is not wood! 
23O 010:016 Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his  fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning  As the burning of a fire. 
23O 010:017 And the light of Israel hath been for a fire, And his Holy  One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And  his brier in one day. 
23O 010:018 And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From  soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the  fainting of a standard-bearer. 
23O 010:019 And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a  youth doth write them. 
23O 010:020 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of  Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any  more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy  One of Israel, in truth. 
23O 010:021 A remnant returneth -- a remnant of Jacob, Unto the Mighty  God. 
23O 010:022 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A  remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined,  Overflowing [with] righteousness. 
23O 010:023 For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, Jehovah of  Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land. 
23O 010:024 Therefore, thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Be not  afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a  rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee,  in the way of Egypt. 
23O 010:025 For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been  completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out. 
23O 010:026 And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like  the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over  the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt. 
23O 010:027 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his  burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck,  And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity. 
23O 010:028 He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into  Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels. 
23O 010:029 They have gone over the passage, Geba they have made a  lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled. 
23O 010:030 Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give  attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth. 
23O 010:031 Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high  places have hardened themselves. 
23O 010:032 Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth the mount  of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem. 
23O 010:033 Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with  violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty  are become low, 
23O 010:034 And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with  iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth! 
23O 011:001 And a rod hath come out from the stock of Jesse, And a  branch from his roots is fruitful. 
23O 011:002 Rested on him hath the Spirit of Jehovah, The spirit of  wisdom and understanding, The spirit of counsel and might, The  spirit of knowledge and fear of Jehovah. 
23O 011:003 To refresh him in the fear of Jehovah, And by the sight of  his eyes he judgeth not, Nor by the hearing of his ears  decideth. 
23O 011:004 And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided  in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth  with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he  putteth the wicked to death. 
23O 011:005 And righteousness hath been the girdle of his loins, And  faithfulness -- the girdle of his reins. 
23O 011:006 And a wolf hath sojourned with a lamb, And a leopard with a  kid doth lie down, And calf, and young lion, and fatling [are]  together, And a little youth is leader over them. 
23O 011:007 And cow and bear do feed, Together lie down their young  ones, And a lion as an ox eateth straw. 
23O 011:008 And played hath a suckling by the hole of an asp, And on  the den of a cockatrice Hath the weaned one put his hand. 
23O 011:009 Evil they do not, nor destroy in all My holy mountain, For  full hath been the earth with the knowledge of Jehovah, As the  waters are covering the sea. 
23O 011:010 And there hath been, in that day, A root of Jesse that is  standing for an ensign of peoples, Unto him do nations seek,  And his rest hath been -- honour! 
23O 011:011 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The Lord addeth a  second time his power, To get the remnant of His people that is  left, From Asshur, and from Egypt, And from Pathros, and from  Cush, And from Elam, and from Shinar, And from Hamath, and from  isles of the sea, 
23O 011:012 And He hath lifted up an ensign to nations, And gathereth  the driven away of Israel, And the scattered of Judah He  assembleth, From the four wings of the earth. 
23O 011:013 And turned aside hath the envy of Ephraim, And the  adversaries of Judah are cut off, Ephraim doth not envy Judah,  And Judah doth not distress Ephraim. 
23O 011:014 And they have flown on the shoulder of the Philistines  westward, Together they spoil the sons of the east, Edom and  Moab sending forth their hand, And sons of Ammon obeying them. 
23O 011:015 And Jehovah hath devoted to destruction The tongue of the  sea of Egypt, And hath waved His hand over the river, In the  terror of his wind, And hath smitten it at the seven streams,  And hath caused [men] to tread [it] with shoes. 
23O 011:016 And there hath been a highway, For the remnant of His  people that is left, from Asshur, As there was for Israel in  the day of his coming up out of the land of Egypt! 
23O 012:001 And thou hast said in that day: `I thank thee, O Jehovah,  Though Thou hast been angry with me, Turn back doth Thine  anger, And Thou dost comfort me. 
23O 012:002 Lo, God [is] my salvation, I trust, and fear not, For my  strength and song [is] Jah Jehovah, And He is to me for  salvation. 
23O 012:003 And ye have drawn waters with joy Out of the fountains of  salvation, 
23O 012:004 And ye have said in that day, Give ye praise to Jehovah,  call in His name. Make known among the peoples His acts. Make  mention that set on high is His name. 
23O 012:005 Praise ye Jehovah, for excellence He hath done, Known is  this in all the earth. 
23O 012:006 Cry aloud, and sing, O inhabitant of Zion, For great in thy  midst [is] the Holy One of Israel!' 
23O 013:001 The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz hath seen: 
23O 013:002 `On a high mountain lift ye up an ensign, Raise the voice  to them, wave the hand, And they go in to the openings of  nobles. 
23O 013:003 I have given charge to My sanctified ones, Also I have  called My mighty ones for Mine anger, Those rejoicing at Mine  excellency.' 
23O 013:004 A voice of a multitude in the mountains, A likeness of a  numerous people, A voice of noise from the kingdoms of nations  who are gathered, Jehovah of Hosts inspecting a host of battle! 
23O 013:005 They are coming in from a land afar off, From the end of  the heavens, Jehovah and the instruments of His indignation, To  destroy all the land. 
23O 013:006 Howl ye, for near [is] the day of Jehovah, As destruction  from the Mighty it cometh. 
23O 013:007 Therefore, all hands do fail, And every heart of man doth  melt. 
23O 013:008 And they have been troubled, Pains and pangs they take, As  a travailing woman they are pained, A man at his friend they  marvel, The appearance of flames -- their faces! 
23O 013:009 Lo, the day of Jehovah doth come, Fierce, with wrath, and  heat of anger, To make the land become a desolation, Yea, its  sinning ones He destroyeth from it. 
23O 013:010 For the stars of the heavens, and their constellations,  Cause not their light to shine, Darkened hath been the sun in  its going out, And the moon causeth not its light to come  forth. 
23O 013:011 And I have appointed on the world evil, And on the wicked  their iniquity, And have caused to cease the excellency of the  proud, And the excellency of the terrible I make low. 
23O 013:012 I make man more rare than fine gold, And a common man than  pure gold of Ophir. 
23O 013:013 Therefore the heavens I cause to tremble, And the earth  doth shake from its place, In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts,  And in a day of the heat of his anger. 
23O 013:014 And it hath been, as a roe driven away, And as a flock  that hath no gatherer, Each unto his people -- they turn, And  each unto his land -- they flee. 
23O 013:015 Every one who is found is thrust through, And every one  who is added falleth by sword. 
23O 013:016 And their sucklings are dashed to pieces before their  eyes, Spoiled are their houses, and their wives lain with. 
23O 013:017 Lo, I am stirring up against them the Medes, Who silver  esteem not, And gold -- they delight not in it. 
23O 013:018 And bows dash young men to pieces, And the fruit of the  womb they pity not, On sons their eye hath no pity. 
23O 013:019 And Babylon, the beauty of kingdoms, The glory, the  excellency of the Chaldeans, Hath been as overthrown by God,  With Sodom and with Gomorrah. 
23O 013:020 She doth not sit for ever, Nor continueth unto many  generations, Nor doth Arab pitch tent there, And shepherds lie  not down there. 
23O 013:021 And Ziim have lain down there, And full have been their  houses of howlings, And dwelt there have daughters of an  ostrich, And goats do skip there. 
23O 013:022 And Aiim have responded in his forsaken habitations, And  dragons in palaces of delight, And near to come [is] her time,  And her days are not drawn out! 
23O 014:001 Because Jehovah loveth Jacob, And hath fixed again on  Israel, And given them rest on their own land, And joined hath  been the sojourner to them, And they have been admitted to the  house of Jacob. 
23O 014:002 And peoples have taken them, And have brought them in unto  their place, And the house of Israel have inherited them, On  the land of Jehovah, For men-servants and for maid-servants,  And they have been captors of their captors, And have ruled  over their exactors. 
23O 014:003 And it hath come to pass, In the day of Jehovah's giving  rest to thee, From thy grief, and from thy trouble, And from  the sharp bondage, That hath been served upon thee, 
23O 014:004 That thou hast taken up this simile Concerning the king of  Babylon, and said, How hath the exactor ceased, 
23O 014:005 Ceased hath the golden one. Broken hath Jehovah the staff  of the wicked, The sceptre of rulers. 
23O 014:006 He who is smiting peoples in wrath, A smiting without  intermission, He who is ruling in anger nations, Pursuing  without restraint! 
23O 014:007 At rest -- quiet hath been all the earth, They have broken  forth [into] singing. 
23O 014:008 Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon --  [saying]: Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up  against us. 
23O 014:009 Sheol beneath hath been troubled at thee, To meet thy  coming in, It is waking up for thee Rephaim, All chiefs ones of  earth, It hath raised up from their thrones All kings of  nations. 
23O 014:010 All of them answer and say unto thee, Even thou hast  become weak like us! Unto us thou hast become like! 
23O 014:011 Brought down to Sheol hath been thine excellency, The  noise of thy psaltery, Under thee spread out hath been the  worm, Yea, covering thee is the worm. 
23O 014:012 How hast thou fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son  of the dawn! Thou hast been cut down to earth, O weakener of  nations. 
23O 014:013 And thou saidst in thy heart: the heavens I go up, Above  stars of God I raise my throne, And I sit in the mount of  meeting in the sides of the north. 
23O 014:014 I go up above the heights of a thick cloud, I am like to  the Most High. 
23O 014:015 Only -- unto Sheol thou art brought down, Unto the sides  of the pit. 
23O 014:016 Thy beholders look to thee, to thee they attend, Is this  the man causing the earth to tremble, Shaking kingdoms? 
23O 014:017 He hath made the world as a wilderness, And his cities he  hath broken down, Of his bound ones he opened not the house. 
23O 014:018 All kings of nations -- all of them, Have lain down in  honour, each in his house, 
23O 014:019 And -- thou hast been cast out of thy grave, As an  abominable branch, raiment of the slain, Thrust through ones of  the sword, Going down unto the sons of the pit, As a carcase  trodden down. 
23O 014:020 Thou art not united with them in burial, For thy land thou  hast destroyed, Thy people thou hast slain, Not named to the  age is the seed of evil doers. 
23O 014:021 Prepare ye for his sons slaughter; Because of the iniquity  of their fathers, They rise not, nor have possessed the land,  Nor filled the face of the world [with] cities. 
23O 014:022 And I have risen up against them, (The affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts,) And have cut off, in reference to Babylon,  Name and remnant, and continuator and successor, The  affirmation of Jehovah. 
23O 014:023 And have made it for a possession of a bittern, And ponds  of waters, And daubed it with the mire of destruction, The  affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts! 
23O 014:024 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts, saying, `As I thought -- so  hath it not been? And as I counselled -- it standeth; 
23O 014:025 To break Asshur in My land, And on My mountains I tread  him down, And turned from off them hath his yoke, Yea, his  burden from off their shoulder turneth aside. 
23O 014:026 This [is] the counsel that is counselled for all the  earth, And this [is] the hand that is stretched out for all the  nations. 
23O 014:027 For Jehovah of Hosts hath purposed, And who doth make  void? And His hand that is stretched out, Who doth turn it  back?' 
23O 014:028 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden: 
23O 014:029 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, That broken hath  been the rod of thy smiter, For from the root of a serpent  cometh out a viper, And its fruit [is] a flying saraph. 
23O 014:030 And delighted have the first-born of the poor, And the  needy in confidence lie down, And I have put to death with  famine thy root, And thy remnant it slayeth. 
23O 014:031 Howl, O gate; cry, O city, Melted art thou, Philistia, all  of thee, For from the north smoke hath come, And there is none  alone in his set places. 
23O 014:032 And what doth one answer the messengers of a nation? `That  Jehovah hath founded Zion, And in it do the poor of His people  trust!' 
23O 015:001 The burden of Moab. Because in a night destroyed was Ar of  Moab -- It hath been cut off, Because in a night destroyed was  Kir of Moab -- It hath been cut off. 
23O 015:002 He hath gone up to Bajith and Dibon, The high places -- to  weep, On Nebo and on Medeba Moab howleth, On all its heads [is]  baldness, every beard cut off. 
23O 015:003 In its out-places they girded on sackcloth, On its  pinnacles, and in its broad places, Every one howleth -- going  down with weeping. 
23O 015:004 And cry doth Heshbon and Elealeh, Unto Jahaz heard hath  been their voice, Therefore the armed ones of Moab do shout,  His life hath been grievous to him. 
23O 015:005 My heart [is] toward Moab, Cry do her fugitives unto Zoar,  a heifer of the third [year], For -- the ascent of Luhith --  With weeping he goeth up in it, For, in the way of Horonaim, A  cry of destruction they wake up. 
23O 015:006 For, the waters of Nimrim are desolations, For, withered  hath been the hay, Finished hath been the tender grass, A green  thing there hath not been. 
23O 015:007 Therefore the abundance he made, and their store, Unto the  brook of the willows they carry. 
23O 015:008 For gone round hath the cry the border of Moab, Unto Eglaim  [is] its howling, And to Beer-Elim [is] its howling. 
23O 015:009 For the waters of Dimon have been full of blood, For I set  on Dimon additions, For the escaped of Moab a lion, And for the  remnant of Adamah! 
23O 016:001 Send ye a lamb [to] the ruler of the land, From Selah in  the wilderness, Unto the mount of the daughter of Zion. 
23O 016:002 And it hath come to pass, As a wandering bird, a nest cast  out, Are daughters of Moab, [at] fords of Arnon. 
23O 016:003 Bring ye in counsel, do judgment, Make as night thy shadow  in the midst of noon, Hide outcasts, the wanderer reveal not. 
23O 016:004 Sojourn in thee do My outcasts, O Moab, Be a secret  hiding-place to them, From the face of a destroyer, For ceased  hath the extortioner, Finished hath been a destroyer, Consumed  the treaders down out of the land. 
23O 016:005 And established in kindness is the throne, And [one] hath  sat on it in truth, in the tent of David, Judging and seeking  judgment, and hasting righteousness. 
23O 016:006 We have heard of the pride of Moab -- very proud, His  pride, and his arrogance, and his wrath, Not right [are] his  devices. 
23O 016:007 Therefore howl doth Moab for Moab, all of it doth howl, For  the grape-cakes of Kir-Hareseth it meditateth, Surely they are  smitten. 
23O 016:008 Because fields of Heshbon languish, The vine of Sibmah,  Lords of nations did beat her choice vines, Unto Jazer they  have come, They have wandered in a wilderness, Her plants have  spread themselves, They have passed over a sea. 
23O 016:009 Therefore I weep with the weeping of Jazer, The vine of  Sibmah, I water thee [with] my tear, O Heshbon and Elealeh, For  -- for thy summer fruits, and for thy harvest, The shouting  hath fallen. 
23O 016:010 And removed have been gladness and joy from the fruitful  field, And in vineyards they sing not, nor shout, Wine in the  presses treadeth not the treader, Shouting I have caused to  cease. 
23O 016:011 Therefore my bowels for Moab as a harp do sound, And mine  inward parts for Kir-Haresh. 
23O 016:012 And it hath come to pass, when it hath been seen, That  weary hath been Moab on the high place, And he hath come unto  his sanctuary to pray, And is not able. 
23O 016:013 This [is] the word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moab from  that time, 
23O 016:014 And now hath Jehovah spoken, saying, `In three years, as  years of an hireling, Lightly esteemed is the honour of Moab,  With all the great multitude, And the remnant [is] little,  small, not mighty!' 
23O 017:001 The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from  [being] a city, And it hath been a heap -- a ruin. 
23O 017:002 Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and  they have lain down, And there is none troubling. 
23O 017:003 And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom  from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the  sons of Israel, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts! 
23O 017:004 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the  honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean. 
23O 017:005 And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of  the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath  come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of  Rephaim, 
23O 017:006 And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of  an olive, Two -- three berries on the top of a branch,  Four -- five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of  Jehovah, God of Israel! 
23O 017:007 In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to  the Holy One of Israel look, 
23O 017:008 And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own  hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not -- the  shrines and the images. 
23O 017:009 In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken  thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left,  Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation. 
23O 017:010 Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And  the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou  plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest  it, 
23O 017:011 In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in  the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the  harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain. 
23O 017:012 Wo [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of  seas they sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the  wasting of mighty waters they are wasted. 
23O 017:013 Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He  hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been  pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing  before a hurricane. 
23O 017:014 At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This  [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our  plunderers! 
23O 018:001 Ho, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers  of Cush, 
23O 018:002 That is sending by sea ambassadors, Even with implements of  reed on the face of the waters, -- Go, ye light messengers,  Unto a nation drawn out and peeled, Unto a people fearful from  its beginning and onwards, A nation meeting out by line, and  treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled. 
23O 018:003 All ye inhabitants of the world, And ye dwellers of earth,  At the lifting up of an ensign on hills ye look, And at the  blowing of a trumpet ye hear. 
23O 018:004 For thus said Jehovah unto me, `I rest, and I look on My  settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of  dew in the heat of harvest. 
23O 018:005 For before harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the  blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then hath [one] cut the  sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches he hath turned  aside, cut down. 
23O 018:006 They are left together to the ravenous fowl of the  mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And summered on them  hath the ravenous fowl, And every beast of the earth wintereth  on them. 
23O 018:007 At that time brought is a present to Jehovah of Hosts, A  nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the  beginning hitherto, A nation meting out by line, and treading  down, Whose land floods have spoiled, Unto the place of the  name of Jehovah of Hosts -- mount Zion!' 
23O 019:001 The burden of Egypt. Lo, Jehovah is riding on a swift thick  cloud, And He hath entered Egypt, And moved have been the idols  of Egypt at His presence, And the heart of Egypt melteth in its  midst. 
23O 019:002 And I armed Egyptians against Egyptians, And they fought,  each against his brother, And each against his neighbour, City  against city, kingdom against kingdom. 
23O 019:003 And emptied out hath been in its midst the spirit of Egypt.  And its counsel I swallow up, And they have sought unto the  idols, And unto the charmers, And unto those having familiar  spirits, And unto the wizards. 
23O 019:004 And I have delivered the Egyptians Into the hand of a hard  lord, And a strong king doth rule over them, An affirmation of  the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts. 
23O 019:005 And failed have waters from the sea, And a river is wasted  and dried up. 
23O 019:006 And they have turned away the flowings, Weak and dried up  have been brooks of the bulwark, Reed and flag have withered. 
23O 019:007 Exposed things by the brook, by the edge of the brook, And  every sown thing of the brook, hath withered, It hath been  driven away, and is not. 
23O 019:008 And lamented have the fishers, And mourned have all casting  angle into a brook, And those spreading nets on the face of the  waters have languished. 
23O 019:009 And ashamed have been makers of fine flax, And weavers of  net-works. 
23O 019:010 And its foundations have been smitten, All making wages  [are] afflicted in soul. 
23O 019:011 Only, fools [are] the princes of Zoan, The counsel of the  wise ones of the counsellors of Pharaoh hath become brutish.  How say ye unto Pharaoh, `A son of the wise am I, a son of  kings of antiquity?' 
23O 019:012 Where [are] they now, thy wise ones? Yea, let them tell to  thee, I pray thee, And they know what Jehovah of Hosts hath  counselled against Egypt! 
23O 019:013 Foolish have been princes of Zoan, Lifted up have been  princes of Noph, And they have caused Egypt to err, The chief  of her tribes. 
23O 019:014 Jehovah hath mingled in her midst A spirit of  perverseness, And they have caused Egypt to err in all its  work, As a drunkard erreth in his vomit. 
23O 019:015 And there is no work to Egypt, That head or tail, branch  or reed, may do. 
23O 019:016 In that day is Egypt like women, And it hath mourned, and  been afraid, Because of the waving of the hand of Jehovah of  Hosts, That He is waving over it. 
23O 019:017 And the land of Judah hath been to Egypt for a cause of  staggering, Every one who doth mention it, for himself feareth,  Because of the counsel of Jehovah of Hosts, That He is  counselling against it. 
23O 019:018 In that day there are five cities in the land of Egypt,  Speaking the lip of Canaan, And swearing to Jehovah of Hosts,  `The city of destruction,' is said of one. 
23O 019:019 In that day there is an altar to Jehovah In the midst of  the land of Egypt, And a standing pillar near its border to  Jehovah, 
23O 019:020 And it hath been for a sign and for a testimony, To  Jehovah of Hosts in the land of Egypt, For they cry unto  Jehovah from the face of oppressors, And He sendeth to them a  saviour, Even a great one, and hath delivered them. 
23O 019:021 And known hath been Jehovah to Egypt, And the Egyptians  have known Jehovah in that day, And done sacrifice and present,  And vowed a vow to Jehovah, and completed [it]. 
23O 019:022 And Jehovah hath smitten Egypt, smiting and healing, And  they have turned back unto Jehovah, And He hath been entreated  of them, And hath healed them. 
23O 019:023 In that day is a highway out of Egypt to Asshur, And come  in have the Assyrians to Egypt, And the Egyptians into Asshur,  And the Egyptians have served with the Assyrians. 
23O 019:024 In that day is Israel third, After Egypt, and after  Asshur, A blessing in the heart of the earth. 
23O 019:025 In that Jehovah of Hosts did bless it, saying, `Blessed  [is] My people -- Egypt, And the work of My hands -- Asshur,  And Mine inheritance -- Israel!' 
23O 020:001 In the year of the coming in of Tartan to Ashdod, when  Sargon king of Asshur sendeth him, and he fighteth against  Ashdod, and captureth it, 
23O 020:002 at that time spake Jehovah by the hand of Isaiah son of  Amoz, saying, `Go, and thou hast loosed the sackcloth from off  thy loins, and thy sandal thou dost draw from off thy foot,'  and he doth so, going naked and barefoot. 
23O 020:003 And Jehovah saith, `As My servant Isaiah hath gone naked  and barefoot three years, a sign and a wonder for Egypt and for  Cush, 
23O 020:004 so doth the king of Asshur lead the captivity of Egypt, and  the removal of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot, with  seat uncovered -- the nakedness of Egypt; 
23O 020:005 and they have been affrighted and ashamed of Cush their  confidence, and of Egypt their beauty, 
23O 020:006 and the inhabitant of this isle hath said in that day --  Lo, thus [is] our trust, Whither we have fled for help, To be  delivered from the king of Asshur, And how do we escape -- we?' 
23O 021:001 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. `Like hurricanes  in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath  come, From a fearful land. 
23O 021:002 A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous  dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is  destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I  have caused to cease. 
23O 021:003 Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain,  Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have  been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing. 
23O 021:004 Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The  twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me, 
23O 021:005 Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink,  rise, ye heads, anoint the shield, 
23O 021:006 For thus said the Lord unto me: `Go, station the watchman,  That which he seeth let him declare.' 
23O 021:007 And he hath seen a chariot -- a couple of horsemen, The  rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given  attention -- He hath increased attention! 
23O 021:008 And he crieth -- a lion, `On a watch-tower my lord, I am  standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed  whole nights. 
23O 021:009 And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of  horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: `Fallen, fallen hath  Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken  to the earth. 
23O 021:010 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I  heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to  you!' 
23O 021:011 The burden of Dumah. Unto me is [one] calling from Seir  `Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?' 
23O 021:012 The watchman hath said, `Come hath morning, and also  night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.' 
23O 021:013 The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O  travellers of Dedanim. 
23O 021:014 To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the  land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive. 
23O 021:015 For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face  of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow,  And from the face of the grievousness of battle. 
23O 021:016 For thus said the Lord unto me: `Within a year, as years  of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar. 
23O 021:017 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of  the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath  spoken!' 
23O 022:001 The burden of the Valley of Vision. What -- to thee, now,  that thou hast gone up, All of thee -- to the roofs? 
23O 022:002 Full of stirs -- a noisy city -- an exulting city, Thy  pierced are not pierced of the sword, Nor dead in battle. 
23O 022:003 All thy rulers fled together from the bow, Bound have been  all found of thee, They have been kept bound together, Afar off  they have fled. 
23O 022:004 Therefore I said, `Look ye from me, I am bitter in my  weeping, Haste not to comfort me, For the destruction of the  daughter of my people.' 
23O 022:005 For a day of noise, and of treading down, And of  perplexity, [is] to the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In the valley  of vision, digging down a wall, And crying unto the mountain. 
23O 022:006 And Elam hath borne a quiver, In a chariot of men --  horsemen, And Kir hath exposed a shield. 
23O 022:007 And it cometh to pass, The choice of thy valleys have been  full of chariots, And the horsemen place themselves diligently  at the gate. 
23O 022:008 And one removeth the covering of Judah, And thou lookest in  that day Unto the armour of the house of the forest, 
23O 022:009 And the breaches of the city of David ye have seen, For  they have become many, And ye gather the waters of the lower  pool, 
23O 022:010 And the houses of Jerusalem ye did number, And ye break  down the houses to fence the wall. 
23O 022:011 And a ditch ye made between the two walls, For the waters  of the old pool, And ye have not looked unto its Maker, And its  Framer of old ye have not seen. 
23O 022:012 And call doth the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, In that day, to  weeping and to lamentation, And to baldness and to girding on  of sackcloth, 
23O 022:013 And lo, joy and gladness, slaying of oxen, And  slaughtering of sheep, Eating of flesh, and drinking of wine,  Eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. 
23O 022:014 And revealed it hath been in mine ears, [By] Jehovah of  Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said  the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts. 
23O 022:015 Thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts: `Go, enter in unto  this steward, Unto Shebna, who [is] over the house: 
23O 022:016 What -- to thee here? And who -- to thee here? That thou  hast hewn out to thee here -- a sepulchre? Hewing on high his  sepulchre, Graving in a rock a dwelling for himself. 
23O 022:017 Lo, Jehovah is casting thee up and down, A casting up and  down, O mighty one, 
23O 022:018 And thy coverer covering, wrapping round, Wrappeth thee  round, O babbler, On a land broad of sides -- there thou diest,  And there the chariots of thine honour [Are] the shame of the  house of thy lord. 
23O 022:019 And I have thrust thee from thy station, And from thine  office he throweth thee down. 
23O 022:020 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That I have called  to my servant, To Eliakim son of Hilkiah. 
23O 022:021 And I have clothed him with thy coat, And with thy girdle  I strengthen him, And thy garment I give into his hand, And he  hath been for a father to the inhabitant of Jerusalem, And to  the house of Judah. 
23O 022:022 And I have placed the key Of the house of David on his  shoulder, And he hath opened, and none is shutting, And hath  shut, and none is opening. 
23O 022:023 And I have fixed him a nail in a stedfast place, And he  hath been for a throne of honour To the house of his father. 
23O 022:024 And they have hanged on him All the honour of the house of  his father, The offspring and the issue, All vessels of small  quality, From vessels of basins to all vessels of flagons. 
23O 022:025 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Moved  is the nail that is fixed In a stedfast place, Yea, it hath  been cut down, and hath fallen, And cut off hath been the  burden that [is] on it, For Jehovah hath spoken!' 
23O 023:001 The Burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For it hath  been destroyed, Without house, without entrance, From the land  of Chittim it was revealed to them. 
23O 023:002 Be silent, ye inhabitants of the isle, Trader of Zidon,  passing the sea, they filled thee. 
23O 023:003 And in many waters [is] the seed of Sihor, The harvest of  the brook [is] her increase, And she is a mart of nations. 
23O 023:004 Be ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea spake, The strength of the  sea, saying: `I have not been pained, nor have I brought forth,  Nor have I nourished young men, [nor] brought up virgins.' 
23O 023:005 As [at] the report of Egypt they are pained, So [at] the  report of Tyre. 
23O 023:006 Pass over to Tarshish, howl, ye inhabitants of the isle, 
23O 023:007 Is this your exulting one? From the days of old [is] her  antiquity, Carry her do her own feet afar off to sojourn. 
23O 023:008 Who hath counselled this against Tyre, The crowning one,  whose traders [are] princes, Her merchants the honoured of  earth?' 
23O 023:009 Jehovah of Hosts hath counselled it, To pollute the  excellency of all beauty, To make light all the honoured of  earth. 
23O 023:010 Pass through thy land as a brook, Daughter of Tarshish,  there is no more a girdle. 
23O 023:011 His hand He hath stretched out over the sea, He hath  caused kingdoms to tremble, Jehovah hath charged concerning the  merchant one, To destroy her strong places. 
23O 023:012 And He saith, `Thou dost not add any more to exult, O  oppressed one, virgin daughter of Zidon, To Chittim arise, pass  over, Even there -- there is no rest for thee.' 
23O 023:013 Lo, the land of the Chaldeans -- this people was not,  Asshur founded it for the Ziim, They raised its watch-towers,  They lifted up her palaces, -- He hath appointed her for a  ruin! 
23O 023:014 Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, For your strength hath been  destroyed. 
23O 023:015 And it hath come to pass, in that day, That forgotten is  Tyre seventy years, According to the days of one king. At the  end of seventy years there is to Tyre as the song of the  harlot. 
23O 023:016 Take a harp, go round the city, O forgotten harlot, play  well, Multiply song that thou mayest be remembered. 
23O 023:017 And it hath come to pass, At the end of seventy years  Jehovah inspecteth Tyre, And she hath repented of her gift,  That she committed fornication With all kingdoms of the earth  on the face of the ground. 
23O 023:018 And her merchandise and her gift have been holy to  Jehovah, Not treasured up nor stored, For to those sitting  before Jehovah is her merchandise, To eat to satiety, and for a  lasting covering! 
23O 024:001 Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste,  And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its  inhabitants. 
23O 024:002 And it hath been -- as a people so a priest, As the servant  so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the  buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the  usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself. 
23O 024:003 Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For  Jehovah hath spoken this word: 
23O 024:004 Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the  world, Languished have they -- the high place of the people of  the land. 
23O 024:005 And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants,  Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a  statute, They have made void a covenant age-during. 
23O 024:006 Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the  inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have  been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left. 
23O 024:007 Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have  all the joyful of heart. 
23O 024:008 Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of  exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp. 
23O 024:009 With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to  those drinking it. 
23O 024:010 It was broken down -- a city of emptiness, Shut hath been  every house from entrance. 
23O 024:011 A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been  all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land. 
23O 024:012 Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is  the gate smitten. 
23O 024:013 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of  the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when  harvest hath been finished, 
23O 024:014 They -- they lift up their voice, They sing of the  excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea. 
23O 024:015 Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the  sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel. 
23O 024:016 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of  the righteous. And I say, `Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is]  to me, wo [is] to me.' Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously,  Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously. 
23O 024:017 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant  of the land. 
23O 024:018 And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise  of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up  from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For  windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of  the land. 
23O 024:019 Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken  hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land. 
23O 024:020 Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath  been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its  transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise. 
23O 024:021 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a  charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on  the kings of the land on the land. 
23O 024:022 And they have been gathered -- A gathering of bound ones  in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a  multitude of days are inspected. 
23O 024:023 And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been  the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and  in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders -- honour! 
23O 025:001 O Jehovah, my God [art] Thou, I exalt Thee, I confess Thy  name, For Thou hast done a wonderful thing, Counsels of old,  stedfastness, O stedfast One. 
23O 025:002 For Thou didst make of a city a heap, Of a fenced city a  ruin, A high place of strangers from [being] a city, To the age  it is not built. 
23O 025:003 Therefore honour Thee do a strong people, A city of the  terrible nations feareth Thee. 
23O 025:004 For Thou hast been a stronghold for the poor, A stronghold  for the needy in his distress, A refuge from storm, a shadow  from heat, When the spirit of the terrible [is] as a storm -- a  wall. 
23O 025:005 As heat in a dry place, The noise of strangers Thou  humblest, Heat with the shadow of a thick cloud, The singing of  the terrible is humbled. 
23O 025:006 And made hath Jehovah of Hosts, For all the peoples in this  mount, A banquet of fat things, a banquet of preserved things,  Fat things full of marrow, preserved things refined. 
23O 025:007 And swallowed up hath He in this mountain The face of the  wrapping that is wrapped over all the peoples, And of the  covering that is spread over all the nations. 
23O 025:008 He hath swallowed up death in victory, And wiped hath the  Lord Jehovah, The tear from off all faces, And the reproach of  His people He turneth aside from off all the earth, For Jehovah  hath spoken. 
23O 025:009 And [one] hath said in that day, `Lo, this [is] our God, We  waited for Him, and He saveth us, This [is] Jehovah, we have  waited for Him, We joy and rejoice in His salvation.' 
23O 025:010 For rest doth the hand of Jehovah on this mountain, And  trodden down is Moab under Him, As trodden down is straw on a  dunghill. 
23O 025:011 And he spread out his hands in its midst, As spread out  doth the swimmer to swim; And He hath humbled his excellency  With the machinations of his hands. 
23O 025:012 And the fortress of the high place of thy walls He hath  bowed down -- He hath made low, He hath caused [it] to come to  the earth, -- unto dust. 
23O 026:001 In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We  have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark. 
23O 026:002 Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation,  Preserving stedfastness. 
23O 026:003 An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace -- peace!  For in Thee it is confident. 
23O 026:004 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a  rock of ages, 
23O 026:005 For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high  He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it  to come unto the dust, 
23O 026:006 Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor -- steps of the  weak. 
23O 026:007 The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One,  The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder. 
23O 026:008 Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have  waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the  desire of the soul. 
23O 026:009 [With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my  spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments  [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned  righteousness. 
23O 026:010 The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned  righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth  perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah. 
23O 026:011 O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand -- they see not, They see  the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire --  Thine adversaries, consumeth them. 
23O 026:012 O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works  also Thou hast wrought for us. 
23O 026:013 O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only,  by Thee we make mention of Thy name. 
23O 026:014 Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore  Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest  all their memory. 
23O 026:015 Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added  to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off  all the ends of earth. 
23O 026:016 O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured  out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them. 
23O 026:017 When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is  pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy  face, O Jehovah. 
23O 026:018 We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought  forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth,  Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall. 
23O 026:019 `Thy dead live -- My dead body they rise. Awake and sing,  ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And  the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall. 
23O 026:020 Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut  thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the  indignation pass over. 
23O 026:021 For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the  iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed  hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her  slain!' 
23O 027:001 In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword --  the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan -- a  fleeing serpent, And on leviathan -- a crooked serpent, And He  hath slain the dragon that [is] in the sea. 
23O 027:002 In that day, `A desirable vineyard,' respond ye to her, 
23O 027:003 I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest  any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it! 
23O 027:004 Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier -- a thorn in  battle? I step into it, I burn it at once. 
23O 027:005 Or -- he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace  with Me, Peace he doth make with Me. 
23O 027:006 Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth  blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the  face of the world [with] increase. 
23O 027:007 As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the  slaying of his slain doth He slay? 
23O 027:008 In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He  hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind, 
23O 027:009 Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And  this [is] all the fruit -- To take away his sin, in His setting  all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces,  They rise not -- shrines and images. 
23O 027:010 For the fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and  forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And  there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches. 
23O 027:011 In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are  coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of  understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its  Former doth not favour it. 
23O 027:012 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth  Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt,  And ye are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel. 
23O 027:013 And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a  great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of  Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed  themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount -- in Jerusalem! 
23O 028:001 Wo [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And  the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the  head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine. 
23O 028:002 Lo, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of  hail -- a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters  overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand. 
23O 028:003 By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of  Ephraim, 
23O 028:004 And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is]  on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit  before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it [is] yet in  his hand he swalloweth it. 
23O 028:005 In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and  for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people. 
23O 028:006 And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the  judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to  the gate. 
23O 028:007 And even these through wine have erred, And through strong  drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong  drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered  because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They  have stumbled judicially. 
23O 028:008 For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth -- without  place! 
23O 028:009 By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause  to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed  from breasts, 
23O 028:010 For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on  line, A little here, a little there, 
23O 028:011 For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak  unto this people. 
23O 028:012 Unto whom He hath said, `This [is] the rest, give ye rest  to the weary, And this -- the refreshing:' And they have not  been willing to hear, 
23O 028:013 And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule,  rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a  little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And  been broken, and snared, and captured. 
23O 028:014 Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning,  Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem. 
23O 028:015 Because ye have said: `We have made a covenant with death,  And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing  scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have  made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.' 
23O 028:016 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I am laying a  foundation in Zion, A stone -- a tried stone, a corner stone  precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not  make haste. 
23O 028:017 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for  a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the  secret hiding-place do waters overflow. 
23O 028:018 And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And  your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing  scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a  treading-place. 
23O 028:019 From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For  morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it  hath been only a trembling to consider the report. 
23O 028:020 For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one's self  out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one's  self up in. 
23O 028:021 For as [at] mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As [at] the  valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work -- strange [is]  His work, And to do His deed -- strange [is] His deed.' 
23O 028:022 And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be  your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have  heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, [Is] for all the land. 
23O 028:023 Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying: 
23O 028:024 The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth  and harroweth his ground! 
23O 028:025 Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then  scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the  principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its  own border? 
23O 028:026 And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct  him. 
23O 028:027 For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches,  And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a  staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod. 
23O 028:028 Bread-[corn] is beaten small, For not for ever doth he  sorely thresh it, Nor crushed [it] hath a wheel of his cart,  Nor do his hoofs beat it small. 
23O 028:029 Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath  made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great! 
23O 029:001 Wo [to] Ariel, Ariel, The city of the encampment of David!  Add year to year, let festivals go round. 
23O 029:002 And I have sent distress to Ariel, And it hath been  lamentation and mourning, And it hath been to me as Ariel. 
23O 029:003 And I encamped, O babbler, against thee, And I laid siege  against thee -- a camp. And I raised up against thee bulwarks. 
23O 029:004 And thou hast been low, From the earth thou speakest, And  from the dust makest thy saying low, And thy voice hath been  from the earth, As one having a familiar spirit, And from the  dust thy saying whisperest, 
23O 029:005 And as small dust hath been The multitude of those  scattering thee, And as chaff passing on the multitude of the  terrible, And it hath been at an instant -- suddenly. 
23O 029:006 By Jehovah of Hosts thou art inspected, With thunder, and  with an earthquake, And great noise, hurricane, and whirlwind,  And flame of devouring fire. 
23O 029:007 And as a dream, a vision of night, hath been The multitude  of all the nations Who are warring against Ariel, And all its  warriors, and its bulwark, Even of those distressing her. 
23O 029:008 And it hath been, as when the hungry dreameth, And lo, he  is eating, And he hath waked, and empty [is] his soul, And as  when the thirsty dreameth, And lo, he is drinking, and he hath  waked, And lo, he is weary, and his soul is longing, So is the  multitude of all the nations Who are warring against mount  Zion. 
23O 029:009 Tarry and wonder, look ye, yea, look, Be drunk, and not  with wine, Stagger, and not with strong drink. 
23O 029:010 For poured out on you hath Jehovah a spirit of deep sleep,  And He closeth your eyes -- the prophets, And your heads -- the  seers -- He covered. 
23O 029:011 And the vision of the whole is to you, As words of the  sealed book, That they give unto one knowing books, Saying,  `Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, `I am not able,  for it [is] sealed;' 
23O 029:012 And the book is given to him who hath not known books,  Saying, `Read this, we pray thee,' And he hath said, `I have  not known books.' 
23O 029:013 And the Lord saith: Because drawn near hath this people,  with its mouth, And with its lips they have honoured Me, And  its heart it hath put far off from Me, And their fear of Me is  -- A precept of men is taught! 
23O 029:014 Therefore, lo, I am adding to do wonderfully with this  people, A wonder, and a marvel, And perished hath the wisdom of  its wise ones, And the understanding of its intelligent ones  hideth itself.' 
23O 029:015 Wo [to] those going deep from Jehovah to hide counsel, And  whose works have been in darkness. And they say, `Who is seeing  us? And who is knowing us?' 
23O 029:016 Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the  work saith of its maker, `He hath not made me?' And the framed  thing said of its framer, `He did not understand?' 
23O 029:017 Is it not yet a very little, And turned hath Lebanon to a  fruitful field, And the fruitful field for a forest is  reckoned? 
23O 029:018 And heard in that day have the deaf the words of a book,  And out of thick darkness, and out of darkness, The eyes of the  blind do see. 
23O 029:019 And the humble have added joy in Jehovah, And the poor  among men In the Holy One of Israel rejoice. 
23O 029:020 For ceased hath the terrible one, And consumed hath been  the scorner, And cut off have been all watching for iniquity, 
23O 029:021 Causing men to sin in word, And for a reprover in the gate  lay a snare, And turn aside into emptiness the righteous. 
23O 029:022 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Who ransomed Abraham,  Concerning the house of Jacob: `Not now ashamed is Jacob, Nor  now doth his face become pale, 
23O 029:023 For in his seeing his children, The work of My hand, in  his midst, They sanctify My name, And have sanctified the Holy  One of Jacob, And the God of Israel they declare fearful. 
23O 029:024 And the erring in spirit have known understanding, And  murmurers learn doctrine!' 
23O 030:001 Wo [to] apostate sons, The affirmation of Jehovah! To do  counsel, and not from Me, And to spread out a covering, and not  of My spirit, So as to add sin to sin. 
23O 030:002 Who are walking to go down to Egypt, And My mouth have not  asked, To be strong in the strength of Pharaoh, And to trust in  the shadow of Egypt. 
23O 030:003 And the strength of Pharaoh Hath been to you for shame, And  the trust in the shadow of Egypt confusion, 
23O 030:004 For in Zoan were his princes, And his messengers reach  Hanes. 
23O 030:005 All he made ashamed of a people that profit not, Neither  for help, not for profit, But for shame, and also for reproach! 
23O 030:006 The burden of the beasts of the south. Into a land of  adversity and distress, Of young lion and of old lion, Whence  [are] viper and flying saraph, They carry on the shoulder of  asses their wealth, And on the hump of camels their treasures,  Unto a people not profitable. 
23O 030:007 Yea, Egyptians [are] vanity, and in vain do help, Therefore  I have cried concerning this: `Their strength [is] to sit  still.' 
23O 030:008 No, go in, write it on a tablet with them, And on a book  engrave it, And it is for a latter day, for a witness unto the  age, 
23O 030:009 That a rebellious people [is] this, sons -- liars, Sons not  willing to hear the law of Jehovah. 
23O 030:010 Who have said to seers, `Ye do not see,' And to prophets,  `Ye do not prophesy to us Straightforward things, Speak to us  smooth things, prophesy deceits, 
23O 030:011 Turn aside from the way, decline from the path, Cause to  cease from before us the Holy One of Israel.' 
23O 030:012 Therefore, thus said the Holy One of Israel, Because of  your kicking against this word, And ye trust in oppression, And  perverseness, and rely on it, 
23O 030:013 Therefore is this iniquity to you as a breach falling,  Swelled out in a wall set on high, Whose destruction suddenly,  at an instant cometh. 
23O 030:014 And He hath broken it As the breaking of the potters'  bottle, Beaten down -- He doth not spare, Nor is there found,  in its beating down, A potsherd to take fire from the burning,  And to draw out waters from a ditch. 
23O 030:015 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel:  `In returning and rest ye are saved, In keeping quiet and in  confidence is your might, And ye have not been willing. 
23O 030:016 And ye say, No, for on a horse we flee? Therefore ye flee,  And on the swift we ride! Therefore swift are your pursuers. 
23O 030:017 One thousand because of the rebuke of one, Because of the  rebuke of five ye flee, Till ye have been surely left as a pole  On the top of the mountain, And as an ensign on the height. 
23O 030:018 And therefore doth wait Jehovah to favour you, And  therefore He is exalted to pity you, For a God of judgment [is]  Jehovah, O the blessedness of all waiting for Him. 
23O 030:019 For the people in Zion dwell in Jerusalem, Weep thou not,  weeping, Pitying, He pitieth thee at the voice of thy cry, When  He heareth He answereth thee. 
23O 030:020 And the Lord hath given to you bread of adversity, And  water of oppression. And thy directors remove no more, And  thine eyes have seen thy directors, 
23O 030:021 And thine ear heareth a word behind thee, Saying, `This  [is] the way, go ye in it,' When ye turn to the right, And when  ye turn to the left. 
23O 030:022 And ye have defiled the covering of Thy graven images of  silver, And the ephod of thy molten image of gold, Thou  scatterest them as a sickening thing, `Go out,' thou sayest to  it. 
23O 030:023 And He hath given rain [for] thy seed, With which thou  dost sow the ground, And bread, the increase of the ground, And  it hath been fat and plenteous, Enjoy do thy cattle in that day  an enlarged pasture. 
23O 030:024 And the oxen and the young asses serving the ground,  Fermented provender do eat, That one is winnowing with shovel  and fan. 
23O 030:025 And there hath been on every high mount, And on every  exalted hill, Rivulets -- streams of waters, In a day of much  slaughter, in the falling of towers. 
23O 030:026 And the light of the moon hath been as the light of the  sun, And the light of the sun is sevenfold, As the light of  seven days, In the day of Jehovah's binding up the breach of  His people, When the stroke of its wound He healeth. 
23O 030:027 Lo, the name of Jehovah is coming from far, Burning is His  anger, and great the flame, His lips have been full of  indignation, And His tongue [is] as a devouring fire. 
23O 030:028 And His breath [is] as an overflowing stream, Unto the  neck it divideth, To sift nations with a sieve of vanity, And a  bridle causing to err, [Is] on the jaws of the peoples. 
23O 030:029 Singing is to you as in a night sanctified for a festival,  And joy of heart as he who is going with a pipe, To go in to  the mountain of Jehovah, Unto the rock of Israel. 
23O 030:030 And caused to be heard hath Jehovah The honour of His  voice, And the coming down of His arm He doth shew with the  raging of anger, And the flame of a consuming fire, Scattering,  and inundation, and hailstone. 
23O 030:031 For from the voice of Jehovah broken down [is] Asshur,  With a rod He smiteth. 
23O 030:032 And every passage of the settled staff, That Jehovah  causeth to rest on him, Hath been with tabrets, and with harps,  And in battles of shaking he hath fought with it. 
23O 030:033 For, arranged from former time is Tophet, Even it for the  king is prepared, He hath made deep, He hath made large, Its  pile [is] fire and much wood, The breath of Jehovah, As a  stream of brim stone, is burning in it! 
23O 031:001 Wo [to] those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses  lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen,  because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of  Israel, And Jehovah have not sought. 
23O 031:002 And He also [is] wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words  He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of  evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity. 
23O 031:003 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses  [are] flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His  hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped  one, And together all of them are consumed. 
23O 031:004 For thus said Jehovah unto me: `As growl doth the lion and  the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a  multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted,  And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth  Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height. 
23O 031:005 As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over  Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing  to escape.' 
23O 031:006 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened  apostacy. 
23O 031:007 For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and  his idols of gold, That your hands made to you -- a sin. 
23O 031:008 And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a  sword -- not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for  himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become  tributary. 
23O 031:009 And [to] his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted  by the ensign have been his princes -- an affirmation of  Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in  Jerusalem! 
23O 032:001 Lo, for righteousness doth a king reign, As to princes, for  judgment they rule. 
23O 032:002 And each hath been as a hiding-place [from] wind, And as a  secret hiding-place [from] inundation, As rivulets of waters in  a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land. 
23O 032:003 And not dazzled are the eyes of beholders, And the ears of  hearers do attend. 
23O 032:004 And the heart of those hastened Understandeth to know, And  the tongue of stammerers hasteth to speak clearly. 
23O 032:005 A fool is no more called `noble,' And to a miser it is not  said, `rich;' 
23O 032:006 For a fool speaketh folly, And his heart doth iniquity, to  do profanity, And to speak concerning Jehovah error, To empty  the soul of the hungry, Yea, drink of the thirsty he causeth to  lack. 
23O 032:007 And the miser -- his instruments [are] evil, He hath  counselled wicked devices, To corrupt the poor with lying  sayings, Even when the needy speaketh justly. 
23O 032:008 And the noble counselled noble things, And he for noble  things riseth up. 
23O 032:009 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident  ones, give ear [to] my saying, 
23O 032:010 Days and a year ye are troubled, O confident ones, For  consumed hath been harvest, The gathering cometh not. 
23O 032:011 Tremble ye women, ye easy ones, Be troubled, ye confident  ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins, 
23O 032:012 For breasts they are lamenting, For fields of desire, for  the fruitful vine. 
23O 032:013 Over the ground of my people thorn -- brier goeth up,  Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city, 
23O 032:014 Surely the palace hath been left, The multitude of the  city forsaken, Fort and watch-tower hath been for dens unto the  age, A joy of wild asses -- a pasture of herds; 
23O 032:015 Till emptied out on us is the Spirit from on high, And a  wilderness hath become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field  for a forest is reckoned. 
23O 032:016 And dwelt in the wilderness hath judgment, And  righteousness in the fruitful field remaineth. 
23O 032:017 And a work of the righteousness hath been peace, And a  service of the righteousness -- Keeping quiet and confidence  unto the age. 
23O 032:018 And dwelt hath My people in a peaceful habitation, And in  stedfast tabernacles, And in quiet resting-places. 
23O 032:019 And it hath hailed in the going down of the forest, And in  the valley is the city low. 
23O 032:020 Happy [are] ye sowing by all waters, Sending forth the  foot of the ox and the ass! 
23O 033:001 Wo, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and  they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish,  O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing  treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee. 
23O 033:002 O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their  arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity. 
23O 033:003 From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine  exaltation scattered have been nations. 
23O 033:004 And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the  caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running  on it. 
23O 033:005 Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He  filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness, 
23O 033:006 And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength  of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah -- it [is]  His treasure. 
23O 033:007 Lo, `Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of  peace do weep bitterly. 
23O 033:008 Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth  along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised  enemies, He hath not esteemed a man. 
23O 033:009 Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been  Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking  are Bashan and Carmel. 
23O 033:010 Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am  lifted up. 
23O 033:011 Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! -- fire  devoureth you. 
23O 033:012 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as  sweepings, with fire they burn. 
23O 033:013 Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye  near ones, My might. 
23O 033:014 Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling  the profane: Who doth dwell for us -- consuming fire, Who doth  dwell for us -- burnings of the age? 
23O 033:015 Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly,  Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from  taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood,  And shutting his eyes from looking on evil, 
23O 033:016 He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his  high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast. 
23O 033:017 A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land  afar off. 
23O 033:018 Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is  counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is  counting the towers? 
23O 033:019 The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip  than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no  understanding. 
23O 033:020 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see  Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not  removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are  broken. 
23O 033:021 But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers --  streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And  a mighty ship doth not pass over it. 
23O 033:022 For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our  king -- He doth save us. 
23O 033:023 Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly  their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned  hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil. 
23O 033:024 Nor doth an inhabitant say, `I was sick,' The people that  is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity! 
23O 034:001 Come near, ye nations, to hear, And ye peoples, give  attention, Hear doth the earth and its fulness, The world, and  all its productions. 
23O 034:002 For wrath [is] to Jehovah against all the nations, And fury  against all their host, He hath devoted them to destruction, He  hath given them to slaughter. 
23O 034:003 And their wounded are cast out, And their carcases cause  their stench to ascend, And melted have been mountains from  their blood. 
23O 034:004 And consumed have been all the host of the heavens, And  rolled together as a book have been the heavens, And all their  hosts do fade, As the fading of a leaf of a vine, And as the  fading one of a fig-tree. 
23O 034:005 For soaked in the heavens was My sword, Lo, on Edom it  cometh down, On the people of My curse for judgment. 
23O 034:006 A sword [is] to Jehovah -- it hath been full of blood, It  hath been made fat with fatness, With blood of lambs and  he-goats. With fat of kidneys of rams, For a sacrifice [is] to  Jehovah in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 
23O 034:007 And come down have reems with them, And bullocks with  bulls, And soaked hath been their land from blood, And their  dust from fatness is made fat. 
23O 034:008 (For a day of vengeance [is] to Jehovah, A year of  recompences for Zion's strife,) 
23O 034:009 And turned have been her streams to pitch, And her dust to  brimstone, And her land hath become burning pitch. 
23O 034:010 By night and by day she is not quenched, To the age go up  doth her smoke, From generation to generation she is waste, For  ever and ever, none is passing into her. 
23O 034:011 And possess her do pelican and hedge-hog, And owl and  raven dwell in her, And He hath stretched out over her A line  of vacancy, and stones of emptiness. 
23O 034:012 [To] the kingdom her freemen they call, But there are none  there, And all her princes are at an end. 
23O 034:013 And gone up her palaces have thorns, Nettle and bramble  [are] in her fortresses, And it hath been a habitation of  dragons, A court for daughters of an ostrich. 
23O 034:014 And met have Ziim with Aiim, And the goat for its  companion calleth, Only there rested hath the night-owl, And  hath found for herself a place of rest. 
23O 034:015 There made her nest hath the bittern, Yea, she layeth, and  hath hatched, And hath gathered under her shadow, Only there  gathered have been vultures, Each with its companion. 
23O 034:016 Seek out of the book of Jehovah, and read, One of these  hath not been lacking, None hath missed its companion, For My  mouth -- it hath commanded, And His spirit -- He hath gathered  them. 
23O 034:017 And He hath cast for them a lot, And His hand hath  apportioned [it] to them by line, Unto the age they possess it,  To all generations they dwell in it! 
23O 035:001 They joy from the wilderness and dry place, And rejoice  doth the desert, and flourish as the rose, 
23O 035:002 Flourishing it doth flourish, and rejoice, Yea, [with] joy  and singing, The honour of Lebanon hath been given to it, The  beauty of Carmel and Sharon, They -- they see the honour of  Jehovah, The majesty of our God. 
23O 035:003 Strengthen ye the feeble hands, Yea, the stumbling knees  strengthen. 
23O 035:004 Say to the hastened of heart, `Be strong, Fear not, lo,  your God; vengeance cometh, The recompence of God, He Himself  doth come and save you.' 
23O 035:005 Then opened are eyes of the blind, And ears of the deaf are  unstopped, 
23O 035:006 Then leap as a hart doth the lame, And sing doth the tongue  of the dumb, For broken up in a wilderness have been waters,  And streams in a desert. 
23O 035:007 And the mirage hath become a pond, And the thirsty land  fountains of waters, In the habitation of dragons, Its place of  couching down, a court for reed and rush. 
23O 035:008 And a highway hath been there, and a way, And the `way of  holiness' is called to it, Not pass over it doth the unclean,  And He Himself [is] by them, Whoso is going in the way -- even  fools err not. 
23O 035:009 No lion is there, yea, a destructive beast Ascendeth it  not, it is not found there, And walked have the redeemed, 
23O 035:010 And the ransomed of Jehovah return, And have entered Zion  with singing. And joy age-during on their head, Joy and  gladness they attain, And fled away have sorrow and sighing! 
23O 036:001 And it cometh to pass, in the fourteenth year of king  Hezekiah, come up hath Sennacherib king of Asshur against all  the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them. 
23O 036:002 And the king of Asshur sendeth Rabshakeh from Lachish to  Jerusalem, unto the king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, and he  standeth by the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of  the fuller's field, 
23O 036:003 and go forth unto him doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is]  over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph,  the remembrancer. 
23O 036:004 And Rabshakeh saith unto them, `Say ye, I pray you, unto  Hezekiah, `Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What  [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided? 
23O 036:005 I have said: Only, a word of the lips! counsel and might  [are] for battle: now, on whom hast thou trusted, that thou  hast rebelled against me? 
23O 036:006 `Lo, thou hast trusted on the staff of this broken reed --  on Egypt -- which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his  hand, and pierced it -- so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all  those trusting on him. 
23O 036:007 `And dost thou say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have  trusted? is it not He, whose high places and whose altars  Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to  Jerusalem, Before this altar ye do bow yourselves? 
23O 036:008 `And now, negotiate, I pray thee, with my lord the king of  Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art  able to put for thee riders on them. 
23O 036:009 And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the  least of the servants of my lord, and dost trust for thee on  Egypt, for chariot and for horsemen? 
23O 036:010 And now, without Jehovah have I come up against this land  to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up unto this land, and  thou hast destroyed it.' 
23O 036:011 And Eliakim saith -- and Shebna and Joah -- unto  Rabshakeh, `Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in]  Aramaean, for we are understanding; and do not speak unto us  [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.' 
23O 036:012 And Rabshakeh saith, `Unto thy lord, and unto thee, hath  my lord sent me to speak these words? is it not for the men --  those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink  their own water with you?' 
23O 036:013 And Rabshakeh standeth and calleth with a great voice [in]  Jewish, and saith, `Hear ye the words of the great king, the  king of Asshur: 
23O 036:014 Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he  is not able to deliver you; 
23O 036:015 and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying,  Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, this city is not given into  the hand of the king of Asshur. 
23O 036:016 `Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of  Asshur, Make ye with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and  eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye  each the waters of his own well, 
23O 036:017 till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like  your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and  vineyards; 
23O 036:018 lest Hezekiah doth persuade you, saying, Jehovah doth  deliver us. `Have the gods of the nations delivered each his  land out of the hand of the king of Asshur? 
23O 036:019 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods  of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand? 
23O 036:020 Who among all the gods of these lands [are] they who have  delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver  Jerusalem out of my hand?' 
23O 036:021 And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word,  for a command of the king is, saying, `Do not answer him.' 
23O 036:022 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house,  cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the  remembrancer, unto Hezekiah with rent garments, and they  declare to him the words of Rabshakeh. 
23O 037:001 And it cometh to pass, at the king Hezekiah's hearing, that  he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth,  and entereth the house of Jehovah, 
23O 037:002 and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna  the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves  with sackcloth, unto Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, 
23O 037:003 and they say unto him, `Thus said Hezekiah, A day of  distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for come  have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bear. 
23O 037:004 `It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear the words of Rabshakeh  with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to  reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words  that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer  for the remnant that is found.' 
23O 037:005 And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah, 
23O 037:006 and Isaiah saith unto them, `Thus do ye say unto your lord,  Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou  hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have  reviled Me. 
23O 037:007 Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a  report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused  him to fall by the sword in his land.' 
23O 037:008 And Rabshakeh turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur  fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath  journeyed from Lachish. 
23O 037:009 And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying,  `He hath come out to fight with thee;' and he heareth, and  sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying, 
23O 037:010 `Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let  not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying,  Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur. 
23O 037:011 Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have  done to all the lands -- to devote them -- and thou art  delivered! 
23O 037:012 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers  destroyed -- Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of  Eden, who [are] in Telassar? 
23O 037:013 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and  the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?' 
23O 037:014 And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the  messengers, and readeth them, and Hezekiah goeth up to the  house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah. 
23O 037:015 And Hezekiah prayeth unto Jehovah, saying, 
23O 037:016 `Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs,  Thou [art] God Himself -- Thyself alone -- to all kingdoms of  the earth, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth. 
23O 037:017 Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah,  Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib  that he hath sent to reproach the living God. 
23O 037:018 `Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the  lands and their land, 
23O 037:019 so as to put their gods into fire -- for they [are] no  gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone -- and they  destroy them. 
23O 037:020 And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all  kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou [art] Jehovah, Thyself  alone.' 
23O 037:021 And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying,  `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed  unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur -- 
23O 037:022 this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him:  Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of  Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of  Jerusalem. 
23O 037:023 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom  lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes  Against the Holy One of Israel. 
23O 037:024 By the hand of thy servants Thou hast reviled the Lord,  and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a  high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the  height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the  high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel. 
23O 037:025 I -- I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the  sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark. 
23O 037:026 Hast thou not heard from afar? -- it I did, From days of  old -- that I formed it. Now, I have brought it in, And it is  to make desolate, Ruinous heaps -- fenced cities, 
23O 037:027 And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken  down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field,  And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And  blasted corn, before it hath risen up. 
23O 037:028 And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming  in, I have known, And thy anger towards Me. 
23O 037:029 Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise -- it came  up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My  bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the  way in which thou camest. 
23O 037:030 -- And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is]  self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth,  And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards,  and eat their fruit. 
23O 037:031 And it hath continued -- the escaped Of the house of Judah  that hath been left -- To take root beneath, And it hath made  fruit upward. 
23O 037:032 For from Jerusalem goeth forth a remnant, And an escape  from mount Zion, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this. 
23O 037:033 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of  Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot  there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor  doth he pour out against it a mount. 
23O 037:034 In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto  this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah, 
23O 037:035 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine  own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.' 
23O 037:036 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the  camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and  [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are]  dead corpses. 
23O 037:037 And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king  of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh. 
23O 037:038 And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house  of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have  smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land  of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead. 
23O 038:001 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come  in unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, and saith  unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for  thou [art] dying, and dost not live.' 
23O 038:002 And Hezekiah turneth round his face unto the wall, and  prayeth unto Jehovah, 
23O 038:003 and saith, `I pray thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee,  how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a  perfect heart, and that which [is] good in thine eyes I have  done;' and Hezekiah weepeth -- a great weeping. 
23O 038:004 And a word of Jehovah is unto Isaiah, saying, 
23O 038:005 Go, and thou hast said to Hezekiah, Thus said Jehovah, God  of David thy father, `I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy  tear, lo, I am adding to thy days fifteen years, 
23O 038:006 and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee  and this city, and have covered over this city. 
23O 038:007 And this [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah  doth this thing that He hath spoken. 
23O 038:008 Lo, I am bringing back the shadow of the degrees that it  hath gone down on the degrees of Ahaz, by the sun, backward ten  degrees:' and the sun turneth back ten degrees in the degrees  that it had gone down. 
23O 038:009 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah concerning his being  sick, when he reviveth from his sickness: 
23O 038:010 `I -- I said in the cutting off of my days, I go in to the  gates of Sheol, I have numbered the remnant of mine years. 
23O 038:011 I said, I do not see Jah -- Jah! In the land of the  living, I do not behold man any more, With the inhabitants of  the world. 
23O 038:012 My sojourning hath departed, And been removed from me as a  shepherd's tent, I have drawn together, as a weaver, my life,  By weakness it cutteth me off, From day unto night Thou dost  end me. 
23O 038:013 I have set [Him] till morning as a lion, So doth He break  all my bones, From day unto night Thou dost end me. 
23O 038:014 As a crane -- a swallow -- so I chatter, I mourn as a  dove, Drawn up have been mine eyes on high, O Jehovah,  oppression [is] on me, be my surety. 
23O 038:015 -- What do I say? seeing He said to me, And He Himself  hath wrought, I go softly all my years for the bitterness of my  soul. 
23O 038:016 Lord, by these do [men] live, And by all in them [is] the  life of my spirit, And Thou savest me, make me also to live, 
23O 038:017 Lo, to peace He changed for me bitterness, And Thou hast  delighted in my soul without corruption, For Thou hast cast  behind Thy back all my sins. 
23O 038:018 For Sheol doth not confess Thee, Death doth not praise  Thee, Those going down to the pit hope not for Thy truth. 
23O 038:019 The living, the living, he doth confess Thee. 
23O 038:020 Like myself to-day -- a father to sons Doth make known of  Thy faithfulness, O Jehovah -- to save me: And my songs we sing  all days of our lives In the house of Jehovah.' 
23O 038:021 And Isaiah saith, `Let them take a bunch of figs, and  plaster over the ulcer, and he liveth.' 
23O 038:022 And Hezekiah saith, `What [is] the sign that I go up to  the house of Jehovah!' 
23O 039:001 At that time hath Merodach-Baladan, son of Baladan, king of  Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, when he  heareth that he hath been sick, and is become strong. 
23O 039:002 And Hezekiah rejoiceth over them, and sheweth them the  house of his spices, the silver, and the gold, and the spices,  and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and  all that hath been found in his treasures; there hath not been  a thing in his house, and in all his dominion, that Hezekiah  hath not shewed them. 
23O 039:003 And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and  saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto  thee?' And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come  unto me -- from Babylon.' 
23O 039:004 And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?' and Hezekiah  saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been  a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.' 
23O 039:005 And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah of  Hosts: 
23O 039:006 Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in  thy house, and that thy fathers have treasured up till this  day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah; 
23O 039:007 and of thy sons who come forth from thee, whom thou  begettest, they take, and they have been eunuchs in a palace of  the king of Babylon.' 
23O 039:008 And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of  Jehovah that thou hast spoken;' and he saith, `Because there  is peace and truth in my days.' 
23O 040:001 Comfort ye, comfort ye, My people, saith your God. 
23O 040:002 Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and call to her, That her  warfare hath been completed, That accepted hath been her  punishment, That she hath received from the hand of Jehovah  Double for all her sins. 
23O 040:003 A voice is crying -- in a wilderness -- Prepare ye the way  of Jehovah, Make straight in a desert a highway to our God. 
23O 040:004 Every valley is raised up, And every mountain and hill  become low, And the crooked place hath become a plain, And the  entangled places a valley. 
23O 040:005 And revealed hath been the honour of Jehovah, And seen [it]  have all flesh together, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken. 
23O 040:006 A voice is saying, `Call,' And he said, `What do I call?'  All flesh [is] grass, and all its goodliness [is] As a flower  of the field: 
23O 040:007 Withered hath grass, faded the flower, For the Spirit of  Jehovah blew upon it, Surely the people [is] grass; 
23O 040:008 Withered hath grass, faded the flower, But a word of our  God riseth for ever. 
23O 040:009 On a high mountain get thee up, O Zion, Proclaiming  tidings, Lift up with power thy voice, O Jerusalem, proclaiming  tidings, Lift up, fear not, say to cities of Judah, `Lo, your  God.' 
23O 040:010 Lo, the Lord Jehovah with strength cometh, And His arm is  ruling for Him, Lo, His hire [is] with Him, and His wage before  Him. 
23O 040:011 As a shepherd His flock He feedeth, With His arm He  gathereth lambs, And in His bosom He carrieth [them]: Suckling  ones He leadeth. 
23O 040:012 Who hath measured in the hollow of his hand the waters?  And the heavens by a span hath meted out, And comprehended in a  measure the dust of the earth, And hath weighed in scales the  mountains, And the hills in a balance? 
23O 040:013 Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, [being] His  counsellor, doth teach Him! 
23O 040:014 With whom consulted He, That he causeth Him to understand?  And teacheth Him in the path of judgment, And teacheth Him  knowledge? And the way of understanding causeth Him to know? 
23O 040:015 Lo, nations as a drop from a bucket, And as small dust of  the balance, have been reckoned, Lo, isles as a small thing He  taketh up. 
23O 040:016 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, Nor its beasts  sufficient for a burnt-offering. 
23O 040:017 All the nations [are] as nothing before Him, Less than  nothing and emptiness, They have been reckoned to Him. 
23O 040:018 And unto whom do ye liken God, And what likeness do ye  compare to Him? 
23O 040:019 The graven image poured out hath a artizan, And a refiner  with gold spreadeth it over, And chains of silver he is  refining. 
23O 040:020 He who is poor [by] heave-offerings, A tree not rotten  doth choose, A skilful artizan he seeketh for it, To establish  a graven image -- not moved. 
23O 040:021 Do ye not know -- do ye not hear? Hath it not been  declared from the first to you? Have ye not understood [From]  the foundations of the earth? 
23O 040:022 He who is sitting on the circle of the earth, And its  inhabitants [are] as grasshoppers, He who is stretching out as  a thin thing the heavens, And spreadeth them as a tent to dwell  in. 
23O 040:023 He who is making princes become nothing, Judges of earth  as emptiness hath made; 
23O 040:024 Yea, they have not been planted, Yea, they have not been  sown, Yea, not taking root in the earth is their stock, And  also He hath blown upon them, and they wither, And a whirlwind  as stubble taketh them away. 
23O 040:025 And unto whom do ye liken Me, And [am] I equal? saith the  Holy One. 
23O 040:026 Lift up on high your eyes, And see -- who hath prepared  these? He who is bringing out by number their host, To all of  them by name He calleth, By abundance of strength (And [he is]  strong in power) not one is lacking. 
23O 040:027 Why sayest thou, O Jacob? and speakest thou, O Israel? `My  way hath been hid from Jehovah, And from my God my judgment  passeth over.' 
23O 040:028 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard? The God of the  age -- Jehovah, Preparer of the ends of the earth, Is not  wearied nor fatigued, There is no searching of His  understanding. 
23O 040:029 He is giving power to the weary, And to those not strong  He increaseth might. 
23O 040:030 Even youths are wearied and fatigued, And young men  utterly stumble, 
23O 040:031 But those expecting Jehovah pass [to] power, They raise up  the pinion as eagles, They run and are not fatigued, They go on  and do not faint! 
23O 041:001 Keep silent towards Me, O isles, And the peoples pass on  [to] power, They come nigh, then they speak, `Together -- to  judgment we draw near.' 
23O 041:002 Who stirred up from the east a righteous one? He calleth  him to His foot, He giveth before him nations, And kings He  causeth him to rule, He giveth [them] as dust [to] his sword,  As driven stubble [to] his bow. 
23O 041:003 He pursueth them, he passeth over in safety A path with his  feet he entereth not. 
23O 041:004 Who hath wrought and done, Calling the generations from the  first? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last I [am] He. 
23O 041:005 Seen have isles and fear, ends of the earth tremble, They  have drawn near, yea, they come. 
23O 041:006 Each his neighbour they help, And to his brother he saith,  `Be strong.' 
23O 041:007 And strengthen doth an artizan the refiner, A smoother  [with] a hammer, Him who is beating [on] an anvil, Saying, `For  joining it [is] good,' And he strengtheneth it with nails, it  is not moved! 
23O 041:008 -- And thou, O Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have  chosen, Seed of Abraham, My lover, 
23O 041:009 Whom I have taken hold of, from the ends of the earth, And  from its near places I have called thee, And I say to thee, My  servant Thou [art], I have chosen thee, and not rejected thee. 
23O 041:010 Be not afraid, for with thee I [am], Look not around, for  I [am] thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped  thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My  righteousness. 
23O 041:011 Lo, all those displeased with thee, They are ashamed and  blush, They are as nothing, yea, perish Do the men who strive  with thee. 
23O 041:012 Thou seekest them, and findest them not, The men who  debate with thee, They are as nothing, yea, as nothing, The men  who war with thee. 
23O 041:013 For I, Jehovah thy God, Am strengthening thy right hand,  He who is saying to thee, `Fear not, I have helped thee.' 
23O 041:014 Fear not, O worm Jacob, ye men of Israel, I helped thee,  an affirmation of Jehovah, Even thy redeemer, the Holy One of  Israel. 
23O 041:015 Lo, I have set thee for a new sharp threshing instrument,  Possessing teeth, thou threshest mountains, And beatest small,  and hills as chaff thou makest. 
23O 041:016 Thou winnowest them, and a wind lifteth them up, And a  whirlwind scattereth them, And thou -- thou rejoicest in  Jehovah, In the Holy One of Israel dost boast thyself. 
23O 041:017 The poor and the needy are seeking water, And there is  none, Their tongue with thirst hath failed, I, Jehovah do  answer them, The God of Israel -- I forsake them not. 
23O 041:018 I open on high places rivers, And in midst of valleys  fountains, I make a wilderness become a pond of water, And a  dry land become springs of water. 
23O 041:019 I give in a wilderness the cedar, Shittah, and myrtle, and  oil-tree, I set in a desert the fir-pine and box-wood together. 
23O 041:020 So that they see, and know, And regard, and act wisely  together, For the hand of Jehovah hath done this, And the Holy  One of Israel hath prepared it. 
23O 041:021 Bring near your cause, saith Jehovah, Bring nigh your  mighty ones, saith the king of Jacob. 
23O 041:022 They bring nigh, and declare to us that which doth happen,  The first things -- what they [are] declare ye, And we set our  heart, and know their latter end, Or the coming things cause us  to hear. 
23O 041:023 Declare the things that are coming hereafter, And we know  that ye [are] gods, Yea, ye may do good or do evil, And we look  around and see [it] together. 
23O 041:024 Lo, ye [are] of nothing, and your work of nought, An  abomination -- it fixeth on you. 
23O 041:025 I have stirred up [one] from the north, And he cometh,  From the rising of the sun he calleth in My name, And he cometh  in [on] prefects as [on] clay, And as a potter treadeth down  mire. 
23O 041:026 Who hath declared from the first, and we know? And  beforetime, and we say, `Righteous?' yea, there is none  declaring, Yea, there is none proclaiming, Yea, there is none  hearing your sayings. 
23O 041:027 First to Zion, Behold, behold them, And to Jerusalem one  proclaiming tidings I give, 
23O 041:028 And I see that there is no man, Yea, of these that there  is no counsellor, And I ask them, and they return word: 
23O 041:029 `Lo, all of them [are] vanity, Nought [are] their works,  Wind and emptiness their molten images!' 
23O 042:001 Lo, My servant, I take hold on him, My chosen one -- My  soul hath accepted, I have put My Spirit upon him, Judgment to  nations he bringeth forth. 
23O 042:002 He doth not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause his voice to be  heard, in the street. 
23O 042:003 A bruised reed he breaketh not, And dim flax he quencheth  not, To truth he bringeth forth judgment. 
23O 042:004 He doth not become weak nor bruised, Till he setteth  judgment in the earth, And for his law isles wait with hope. 
23O 042:005 Thus said God, Jehovah, preparing The heavens, and  stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its  productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to  those walking in it. 
23O 042:006 I, Jehovah, did call thee in righteousness, And I lay hold  on thy hand, and keep thee, And I give thee for a covenant of a  people, And a light of nations. 
23O 042:007 To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth from prison  the bound one, From the house of restraint those sitting in  darkness. 
23O 042:008 I [am] Jehovah, this [is] My name, And Mine honour to  another I give not, Nor My praise to graven images. 
23O 042:009 The former things, lo, have come, And new things I am  declaring, Before they spring up I cause you to hear. 
23O 042:010 Sing to Jehovah a new song, His praise from the end of the  earth, Ye who are going down to the sea, and its fulness,  Isles, and their inhabitants. 
23O 042:011 The wilderness and its cities do lift up [the voice], The  villages Kedar doth inhabit, Sing do the inhabitants of Sela,  From the top of mountains they cry. 
23O 042:012 They ascribe to Jehovah honour, And His praise in the  isles they declare. 
23O 042:013 Jehovah as a mighty one goeth forth. As a man of war He  stirreth up zeal, He crieth, yea, He shrieketh, Against His  enemies He showeth Himself mighty. 
23O 042:014 I have kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain  myself, As a travailing woman I cry out, I desolate and swallow  up together. 
23O 042:015 I make waste mountains and hills, And all their herbs I  dry up, And I have made rivers become isles, And ponds I dry  up. 
23O 042:016 And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not  known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I  make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled  places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to  them, And I have not forsaken them. 
23O 042:017 Removed backward -- utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in  a graven image, Those saying to a molten image, `Ye [are] our  gods.' 
23O 042:018 Ye deaf, hear; and ye blind, look to see. 
23O 042:019 Who [is] blind but My servant? And deaf as My messenger I  send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Yea, blind, as the  servant of Jehovah? 
23O 042:020 Seeing many things, and thou observest not, Opening ears,  and he heareth not. 
23O 042:021 Jehovah hath delight for the sake of His righteousness, He  magnifieth law, and maketh honourable. 
23O 042:022 And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes  -- all of them, And in houses of restraint they were hidden,  They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil,  and none is saying, `Restore.' 
23O 042:023 Who among you giveth ear [to] this? Attendeth, and heareth  afterwards. 
23O 042:024 Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the  spoilers? Is it not Jehovah -- He against whom we sinned? Yea,  they have not been willing in His ways to walk, Nor have they  hearkened to His law. 
23O 042:025 And He poureth on him fury, His anger, and the strength of  battle, And it setteth him on fire round about, And he hath not  known, And it burneth against him, and he layeth it not to  heart! 
23O 043:001 And now, thus said Jehovah, Thy Creator, O Jacob, and thy  Fashioner, O Israel, Be not afraid, for I have redeemed thee, I  have called on thy name -- thou [art] Mine. 
23O 043:002 When thou passest into waters, I [am] with thee, And into  floods, they do not overflow thee, When thou goest into fire,  thou art not burnt, And a flame doth not burn against thee. 
23O 043:003 For I -- Jehovah thy God, The Holy One of Israel, thy  Saviour, I have appointed Egypt thine atonement, Cush and Seba  in thy stead. 
23O 043:004 Since thou wast precious in Mine eyes, Thou wast honoured,  and I have loved thee, And I appoint men in thy stead, And  peoples instead of thy life. 
23O 043:005 Be not afraid, for I [am] with thee, From the east I bring  in thy seed, And from the west I gather thee. 
23O 043:006 I am saying to the north, `Give up,' And to the south,  `Restrain not.' Bring in My sons from afar, And My daughters  from the end of the earth. 
23O 043:007 Every one who is called by My name, Even for My honour I  have created him, I have formed him, yea, I have made him. 
23O 043:008 He brought out a blind people who have eyes, And deaf ones  who have ears. 
23O 043:009 All the nations have been gathered together, And the  peoples are assembled, Who among them declareth this, And  former things causeth us to hear? They give their witnesses,  And they are declared righteous, And they hear and say,  `Truth.' 
23O 043:010 Ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation of Jehovah, And My  servant whom I have chosen, So that ye know and give credence  to Me, And understand that I [am] He, Before Me there was no  God formed, And after Me there is none. 
23O 043:011 I -- I [am] Jehovah, And besides Me there is no saviour. 
23O 043:012 I -- I declared, and saved, and proclaimed, And there is  no stranger with you, And ye [are] My witnesses, an affirmation  of Jehovah, And I [am] God. 
23O 043:013 Even from the day I [am] He, And there is no deliverer  from My hand, I work, and who doth turn it back? 
23O 043:014 Thus said Jehovah, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel:  `For your sake I have sent to Babylon, And caused bars to  descend -- all of them, And the Chaldeans, whose song [is] in  the ships. 
23O 043:015 I [am] Jehovah, your Holy One, Creator of Israel, your  King.' 
23O 043:016 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving in the sea a way, And in  the strong waters a path. 
23O 043:017 Who is bringing forth chariot and horse, A force, even a  strong one: `Together they lie down -- they rise not, They have  been extinguished, As flax they have been quenched.' 
23O 043:018 Remember not former things, And ancient things consider  not. 
23O 043:019 Lo, I am doing a new thing, now it springeth up, Do ye not  know it? Yea, I put in a wilderness a way, In a desolate place  -- floods. 
23O 043:020 Honour me doth the beast of the field, Dragons and  daughters of an ostrich, For I have given in a wilderness  waters, Floods in a desolate place, To give drink to My people  -- My chosen. 
23O 043:021 This people I have formed for Myself, My praise they  recount. 
23O 043:022 And Me thou hast not called, O Jacob, For thou hast been  wearied of me, O Israel, 
23O 043:023 Thou hast not brought in to Me, The lamb of thy  burnt-offerings, And [with] thy sacrifices thou hast not  honoured Me, I have not caused thee to serve with a present,  Nor wearied thee with frankincense. 
23O 043:024 Thou hast not bought for Me with money sweet cane, And  [with] the fat of thy sacrifices hast not filled Me, Only --  thou hast caused Me to serve with thy sins, Thou hast wearied  Me with thine iniquities. 
23O 043:025 I -- I [am] He who is blotting out Thy transgressions for  Mine own sake, And thy sins I do not remember. 
23O 043:026 Cause me to remember -- we are judged together, Declare  thou that thou mayest be justified. 
23O 043:027 Thy first father sinned, And thine interpreters  transgressed against me, 
23O 043:028 And I pollute princes of the sanctuary, And I give Jacob  to destruction, and Israel to revilings! 
23O 044:001 And now, hear, O Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have  fixed on: 
23O 044:002 Thus said Jehovah, thy Maker, and thy Former, From the womb  He doth help thee; Fear not, my servant Jacob, And Jeshurun,  whom I have fixed on. 
23O 044:003 For I pour waters on a thirsty one, And floods on a dry  land, I pour My Spirit on thy seed, And My blessing on thine  offspring. 
23O 044:004 And they have sprung up as among grass, As willows by  streams of water. 
23O 044:005 This [one] saith, For Jehovah I [am], And this calleth  [himself] by the name of Jacob, And this [one] writeth [with]  his hand, `For Jehovah,' and by the name of Israel surnameth  himself. 
23O 044:006 Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer,  Jehovah of Hosts: `I [am] the first, and I the last, And  besides Me there is no God. 
23O 044:007 And who as I, doth call and declare it, And arrange it for  Me, Since My placing the people of antiquity, And things that  are coming, And those that do come, declare they to them? 
23O 044:008 Fear not, nor be afraid, Have I not from that time caused  thee to hear, and declared? And ye [are] My witnesses, Is there  a God besides Me? yea, there is none, A Rock I have not known. 
23O 044:009 Framers of a graven image [are] all of them emptiness, And  their desirable things do not profit, And their own witnesses  they [are], They see not, nor know, that they may be ashamed. 
23O 044:010 Who hath formed a god, And a molten image poured out --  not profitable? 
23O 044:011 Lo, all his companions are ashamed, As to artizans -- they  [are] of men, All of them gather together, they stand up, They  fear, they are ashamed together. 
23O 044:012 He hath wrought iron [with] an axe, And hath wrought with  coals, And with hammers doth form it, And doth work it by his  powerful arm, Yea, he is hungry, and there is no power, He doth  not drink water, and he is wearied. 
23O 044:013 He hath wrought [with] wood, He hath stretched out a rule,  He doth mark it out with a line, He maketh it with carving  tools, And with a compass he marketh it out, And maketh it  according to the form of a man, According to the beauty of a  man, To remain in the house. 
23O 044:014 Cutting down to himself cedars, He taketh also a cypress,  and an oak, And he strengtheneth [it] for himself Among the  trees of a forest, He hath planted an ash, and the shower doth  nourish [it]. 
23O 044:015 And it hath been for man to burn, And he taketh of them,  and becometh warm, Yea, he kindleth [it], and hath baked bread,  Yea, he maketh a god, and boweth himself, He hath made it a  graven image, And he falleth down to it. 
23O 044:016 Half of it he hath burnt in the fire, By [this] half of it  he eateth flesh, He roasteth a roasting, and is satisfied, Yea,  he is warm, and saith: `Aha, I have become warm, I have enjoyed  the light. 
23O 044:017 And its remnant for a god he hath made -- For his graven  image, He falleth down to it, and worshippeth, And prayeth unto  it, and he saith, `Deliver me, for my god thou [art].' 
23O 044:018 They have not known, nor do they understand, For He hath  daubed their eyes from seeing, Their heart from acting wisely. 
23O 044:019 And none doth turn [it] back unto his heart, Nor hath  knowledge nor understanding to say, `Half of it I have burned  in the fire, Yea, also, I have baked bread over its coals, I  roast flesh and I eat, And its remnant for an abomination I  make, To the stock of a tree I fall down.' 
23O 044:020 Feeding on ashes, the heart is deceived, It hath turned  him aside, And he delivereth not his soul, nor saith: `Is there  not a lie in my right hand?' 
23O 044:021 Remember these, O Jacob, and Israel, For My servant thou  [art], I formed thee, a servant to Me thou [art], O Israel,  thou dost not forget Me. 
23O 044:022 I have blotted out, as [by] a thick cloud, Thy  transgressions, And as [by] a cloud thy sins, Return unto Me,  for I have redeemed thee. 
23O 044:023 Sing, O heavens, for Jehovah hath wrought, Shout, O lower  parts of earth, Break forth, O mountains, with singing, Forest,  and every tree in it, For Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, And in  Israel He doth beautify Himself. 
23O 044:024 Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, And thy framer from the  womb: `I [am] Jehovah, doing all things, Stretching out the  heavens by Myself, Spreading out the earth -- who [is] with Me? 
23O 044:025 Making void the tokens of devisers, And diviners it maketh  mad, Turning the wise backward, And their knowledge it maketh  foolish. 
23O 044:026 Confirming the word of His servant, The counsel of His  messengers it perfecteth, Who is saying of Jerusalem, She is  inhabited, And of cities of Judah, They shall be built, and her  wastes I raise up, 
23O 044:027 Who is saying to the deep, Be dry, and thy rivers I cause  to dry up, 
23O 044:028 Who is saying of Cyrus, My shepherd, And all my delight He  doth perfect, So as to say of Jerusalem, Thou art built, And of  the temple, Thou art founded. 
23O 045:001 Thus said Jehovah, To His anointed, to Cyrus, Whose right  hand I have laid hold on, To subdue nations before him, Yea,  loins of kings I loose, To open before him two-leaved doors,  Yea, gates are not shut: 
23O 045:002 `I go before thee, and crooked places make straight,  Two-leaved doors of brass I shiver, And bars of iron I cut  asunder, 
23O 045:003 And have given to thee treasures of darkness, Even  treasures of secret places, So that thou knowest that I,  Jehovah, Who am calling on thy name -- [am] the God of Israel. 
23O 045:004 For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen,  I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not  known Me. 
23O 045:005 I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is  no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me. 
23O 045:006 So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the  west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, and there  is none else, 
23O 045:007 Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and  preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing all these things.' 
23O 045:008 Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause  righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful,  Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah,  have prepared it. 
23O 045:009 Wo [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd  with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer,  `What dost thou?' And thy work, `He hath no hands?' 
23O 045:010 Wo [to] him who is saying to a father, `What dost thou  beget?' Or to a wife, `What dost thou bring forth? 
23O 045:011 Thus said Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, and his Former:  Ask Me of the things coming concerning My sons, Yea, concerning  the work of My hands, ye command Me.' 
23O 045:012 I made earth, and man on it prepared, I -- My hands  stretched out the heavens, And all their host I have commanded. 
23O 045:013 I have stirred him up in righteousness, And all his ways I  make straight, He doth build My city, and My captivity doth  send out, Not for price, nor for bribe, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
23O 045:014 Thus said Jehovah, `The labour of Egypt, And the  merchandise of Cush, And of the Sebaim -- men of measure, Unto  thee pass over, and thine they are, After thee they go, in  fetters they pass over, And unto thee they bow themselves, Unto  thee they pray: Only in thee [is] God, And there is none else,  no [other] God. 
23O 045:015 Surely Thou [art] a God hiding Thyself, God of Israel --  Saviour! 
23O 045:016 They have been ashamed, And they have even blushed -- all  of them, Together gone in confusion have those carving images. 
23O 045:017 Israel hath been saved in Jehovah, A salvation age-during!  Ye are not ashamed nor confounded Unto the ages of eternity! 
23O 045:018 For thus said Jehovah, Creator of heaven, He is God,  Former of earth, and its Maker, He established it -- not empty  He prepared it, For inhabiting He formed it: `I [am] Jehovah,  and there is none else. 
23O 045:019 Not in secret have I spoken, in a dark place of the earth,  I have not said to the seed of Jacob, In vain seek ye Me, I  [am] Jehovah, speaking righteousness, Declaring uprightness. 
23O 045:020 Be gathered, and come in, Come nigh together, ye escaped  of the nations, They have not known, Who are lifting up the  wood of their graven image, And praying unto a god [that]  saveth not. 
23O 045:021 Declare ye, and bring near, Yea, they take counsel  together, Who hath proclaimed this from of old? From that time  hath declared it? Is it not I -- Jehovah? And there is no other  god besides Me, A God righteous and saving, there is none save  Me. 
23O 045:022 Turn to Me, and be saved, all ends of the earth, For I  [am] God, and there is none else. 
23O 045:023 By Myself I have sworn, Gone out from my mouth in  righteousness hath a word, And it turneth not back, That to Me,  bow doth every knee, every tongue swear. 
23O 045:024 Only in Jehovah, said hath one, Have I righteousness and  strength, Unto Him he cometh in, And ashamed are all those  displeased with Him. 
23O 045:025 In Jehovah are all the seed of Israel justified, And they  boast themselves.' 
23O 046:001 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have  been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a  burden to the weary. 
23O 046:002 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not  been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity  have gone. 
23O 046:003 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of  Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the  womb, 
23O 046:004 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I  made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver. 
23O 046:005 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me,  that we may be like? 
23O 046:006 -- They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the  beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god,  They fall down, yea, they bow themselves. 
23O 046:007 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause  him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he  moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not,  From his adversity he saveth him not. 
23O 046:008 Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O  transgressors, to the heart. 
23O 046:009 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there  is none else, God -- and there is none like Me. 
23O 046:010 Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of  old that which hath not been done, Saying, `My counsel doth  stand, And all My delight I do.' 
23O 046:011 Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the  man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I  have formed [it], yea, I do it. 
23O 046:012 Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from  righteousness. 
23O 046:013 I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off,  And My salvation -- it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion  salvation, To Israel My glory! 
23O 047:001 Come down, and sit on the dust, O virgin daughter of  Babylon, Sit on the earth, there is no throne, O daughter of  the Chaldeans, For no more do they cry to thee, `O tender and  delicate one.' 
23O 047:002 Take millstones, and grind flour, Remove thy veil, draw up  the skirt, Uncover the leg, pass over the floods. 
23O 047:003 Revealed is thy nakedness, yea, seen is thy reproach,  Vengeance I take, and I meet not a man. 
23O 047:004 Our redeemer [is] Jehovah of Hosts, His name [is] the Holy  One of Israel. 
23O 047:005 Sit silent, and go into darkness, O daughter of the  Chaldeans, For no more do they cry to thee, `Mistress of  kingdoms.' 
23O 047:006 I have been wroth against My people, I have polluted Mine  inheritance And I give them into thy hand, Thou hast not  appointed for them mercies, On the aged thou hast made thy yoke  very heavy, 
23O 047:007 And thou sayest, `To the age I am mistress,' While thou  hast not laid these things to thy heart, Thou hast not  remembered the latter end of it. 
23O 047:008 And now, hear this, O luxurious one, Who is sitting  confidently -- Who is saying in her heart, `I [am], and none  else, I sit not a widow, nor know bereavement.' 
23O 047:009 And come in to thee do these two things, In a moment, in  one day, childlessness and widowhood, According to their  perfection they have come upon thee, In the multitude of thy  sorceries, In the exceeding might of thy charms. 
23O 047:010 And thou art confident in thy wickedness, Thou hast said,  `There is none seeing me,' Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, It is  turning thee back, And thou sayest in thy heart, `I [am], and  none else.' 
23O 047:011 And come in on thee hath evil, Thou knowest not its  rising, And fall on thee doth mischief, Thou art not able to  pacify it, And come on thee suddenly doth desolation, Thou  knowest not. 
23O 047:012 Stand, I pray thee, in thy charms, And in the multitude of  thy sorceries, In which thou hast laboured from thy youth, It  may be thou art able to profit, It may be thou dost terrify! 
23O 047:013 Thou hast been wearied in the multitude of thy counsels,  Stand up, I pray thee, and save thee, Let the charmers of the  heavens, Those looking on the stars, Those teaching concerning  the months, From those things that come on thee! 
23O 047:014 Lo, they have been as stubble! Fire hath burned them, They  deliver not themselves from the power of the flame, There is  not a coal to warm them, a light to sit before it. 
23O 047:015 So have they been to thee with whom thou hast laboured,  Thy merchants from thy youth, Each to his passage they have  wandered, Thy saviour is not! 
23O 048:001 Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, Who are called by the name  of Israel, And from the waters of Judah came out, Who are  swearing by the name of Jehovah, And of the God of Israel make  mention, Not in truth nor in righteousness. 
23O 048:002 For from the Holy City they have been called, And on the  God of Israel been supported, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
23O 048:003 The former things from that time I declared, And from my  mouth they have gone forth, And I proclaim them, Suddenly I  have done, and it cometh. 
23O 048:004 From my knowing that thou art obstinate, And a sinew of  iron thy neck, And thy forehead brass, 
23O 048:005 And I declare to thee from that time, Before it cometh I  have caused thee to hear, Lest thou say, `Mine idol hath done  them, And my graven image, And my molten image did command  them. 
23O 048:006 Thou hast heard, see the whole of it, And ye, do ye not  declare? I have caused thee to hear new things from this time,  And things reserved that ye knew not. 
23O 048:007 Now they have been produced and not from that time, Yea,  before the day, and thou hast not heard them, Lest thou say,  `Lo, I have known them.' 
23O 048:008 Yea, thou hast not heard, Yea, thou hast not known, Yea,  from that time not opened hath thine ear, For I have known thou  dealest treacherously, And `Transgressor from the belly,' One  is crying to thee. 
23O 048:009 For My name's sake I defer Mine anger, And My praise I  restrain for thee, So as not to cut thee off. 
23O 048:010 Lo, I have refined thee, and not with silver, I have  chosen thee in a furnace of affliction. 
23O 048:011 For My sake, for Mine own sake, I do [it], For how is it  polluted? And Mine honour to another I give not. 
23O 048:012 Hearken to me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one, I [am]  He, I [am] first, and I [am] last; 
23O 048:013 Also, My hand hath founded earth, And My right hand  stretched out the heavens, I am calling unto them, they stand  together. 
23O 048:014 Be gathered all of you, and hear, Who among them did  declare these things? Jehovah hath loved him, He doth His  pleasure on Babylon, And His arm [is on] the Chaldeans. 
23O 048:015 I -- I have spoken, yea, I have called him, I have brought  him in, And he hath made prosperous his way. 
23O 048:016 Come ye near unto me, hear this, Not from the beginning in  secret spake I, From the time of its being, there [am] I, And  now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and His Spirit. 
23O 048:017 Thus said Jehovah, thy redeemer, The Holy One of Israel,  `I [am] Jehovah thy God, teaching thee to profit, Causing thee  to tread in the way thou goest. 
23O 048:018 O that thou hadst attended to My commands, Then as a river  is thy peace, And thy righteousness as billows of the sea, 
23O 048:019 And as sand is thy seed, And the offspring of thy bowels  as its gravel, Not cut off nor destroyed his name before Me. 
23O 048:020 Go out from Babylon, flee from the Chaldeans, With a voice  of singing declare, Cause ye this to be heard, Bring it forth  unto the end of the earth, Say, Redeemed hath Jehovah His  servant Jacob. 
23O 048:021 And they have not thirsted in waste places, He hath caused  them to go on, Waters from a rock he hath caused to flow to  them, Yea, he cleaveth a rock, and flow do waters. 
23O 048:022 There is no peace, said Jehovah, to the wicked! 
23O 049:001 Hearken, O isles, unto me, And attend, O peoples, from  afar, Jehovah from the womb hath called me, From the bowels of  my mother He hath made mention of my name. 
23O 049:002 And he maketh my mouth as a sharp sword, In the shadow of  His hand He hath hid me, And He maketh me for a clear arrow, In  His quiver He hath hid me. 
23O 049:003 And He saith to me, `My servant Thou art, O Israel, In whom  I beautify Myself.' 
23O 049:004 And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and  vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment [is] with Jehovah,  And my wage with my God. 
23O 049:005 And now, said Jehovah, who is forming me from the belly for  a servant to Him, To bring back Jacob unto Him, (Though Israel  is not gathered, Yet I am honoured in the eyes of Jehovah, And  my God hath been my strength.) 
23O 049:006 And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That thou art to  Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the  preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given thee for a  light of nations, To be My salvation unto the end of the  earth.' 
23O 049:007 Thus said Jehovah, Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, To the  despised in soul, To the abominated of a nation, To the servant  of rulers: `Kings see, and have risen, princes, and worship,  For the sake of Jehovah, who is faithful, The Holy of Israel,  and He chooseth thee.' 
23O 049:008 Thus said Jehovah: `In a time of good pleasure I answered  thee, And in a day of salvation I helped thee, And I keep thee,  and give thee, For a covenant of the people, To establish the  earth, To cause to inherit desolate inheritances. 
23O 049:009 To say to the bound, Go out, To those in darkness, Be  uncovered. On the ways they feed, And in all high places is  their pasture. 
23O 049:010 They do not hunger, nor thirst, Nor smite them doth mirage  and sun, For He who is pitying them doth lead them, And by  fountains of waters doth tend them. 
23O 049:011 And I have made all My mountains for a way, And My  highways are lifted up. 
23O 049:012 Lo, these from afar come in, And lo, these from the north,  and from the sea, And these from the land of Sinim. 
23O 049:013 Sing, O heavens, and joy, O earth, And break forth, O  mountains, with singing, For comforted hath Jehovah His people,  And His afflicted ones He doth pity. 
23O 049:014 And Zion saith, `Jehovah hath forsaken me, And my Lord  hath forgotten me.' 
23O 049:015 Forget doth a woman her suckling, The loved one -- the son  of her womb? Yea, these forget -- but I -- I forget not thee. 
23O 049:016 Lo, on the palms of the hand I have graven thee, Thy walls  [are] before Me continually. 
23O 049:017 Hastened have those building thee, Those destroying thee,  and laying thee waste, go out from thee. 
23O 049:018 Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have  been gathered, They have come to thee. I live, an affirmation  of Jehovah! Surely all of them as an ornament thou puttest on,  And thou bindest them on like a bride. 
23O 049:019 Because thy wastes, and thy desolate places, And the land  of thy ruins, Surely now are straitened because of inhabitants,  And far off have been those consuming thee. 
23O 049:020 Again do the sons of thy bereavement say in thine ears:  `The place is too strait for me, Come nigh to me -- and I  dwell.' 
23O 049:021 And thou hast said in thy heart: `Who hath begotten for me  -- these? And I bereaved and gloomy, A captive, and turned  aside, And these -- who hath nourished? Lo, I -- I was left by  myself, these -- whence [are] they? 
23O 049:022 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Lo, I lift up unto nations My  hand, And unto peoples I raise up Mine ensign, And they have  brought thy sons in the bosom, And thy daughters on the shoulder  are carried. 
23O 049:023 And kings have been thy nursing fathers, And their  princesses thy nursing mothers; Face to the earth -- they bow  down to thee, And the dust of thy feet they lick up, And thou  hast known that I [am] Jehovah, That those expecting Me are not  ashamed. 
23O 049:024 Is prey taken from the mighty? And the captive of the  righteous delivered? 
23O 049:025 For thus said Jehovah: Even the captive of the mighty is  taken, And the prey of the terrible is delivered, And with thy  striver I strive, and thy sons I save. 
23O 049:026 And I have caused thine oppressors to eat their own flesh,  And as new wine they drink their own blood, And known have all  flesh that I, Jehovah, Thy saviour, and thy redeemer, [Am] the  Mighty One of Jacob!' 
23O 050:001 Thus said Jehovah: `Where [is] this -- the bill of your  mother's divorce, Whom I sent away? Or to which of My creditors  have I sold you? Lo, for your iniquities ye have been sold, And  for your transgressions Hath your mother been sent away. 
23O 050:002 Wherefore have I come, and there is no one? I called, and  there is none answering, Hath My hand been at all short of  redemption? And is there not in me power to deliver? Lo, by My  rebuke I dry up a sea, I make rivers a wilderness, Their fish  stinketh, for there is no water, And dieth with thirst. 
23O 050:003 I clothe the heavens [with] blackness, And sackcloth I make  their covering. 
23O 050:004 The Lord Jehovah hath given to me The tongue of taught  ones, To know to aid the weary [by] a word, He waketh morning  by morning, He waketh for me an ear to hear as taught ones. 
23O 050:005 The Lord Jehovah opened for me the ear, And I rebelled not  -- backward I moved not. 
23O 050:006 My back I have given to those smiting, And my cheeks to  those plucking out, My face I hid not from shame and spitting. 
23O 050:007 And the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Therefore I have  not been ashamed, Therefore I have set my face as a flint, And  I know that I am not ashamed. 
23O 050:008 Near [is] He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with  me? We stand together, who [is] mine opponent? Let him come  nigh unto me. 
23O 050:009 Lo, the Lord Jehovah giveth help to me, Who [is] he that  declareth me wicked? Lo, all of them as a garment wear out, A  moth doth eat them. 
23O 050:010 Who [is] among you, fearing Jehovah, Hearkening to the  voice of His servant, That hath walked in dark places, And  there is no brightness for him? Let him trust in the name of  Jehovah, And lean upon his God. 
23O 050:011 Lo, all ye kindling a fire, girding on sparks, Walk ye in  the light of your fire, And in the sparks ye have caused to  burn, From my hand hath this been to you, In grief ye lie down! 
23O 051:001 Hearken unto Me, ye pursuing righteousness, Seeking  Jehovah, Look attentively unto the rock -- ye have been hewn,  And unto the hole of the pit -- ye have been digged. 
23O 051:002 Look attentively unto Abraham your father, And unto Sarah  -- she bringeth you forth, For -- one -- I have called him, And  I bless him, and multiply him. 
23O 051:003 For Jehovah hath comforted Zion, He hath comforted all her  wastes, And He setteth her wilderness as Eden, And her desert  as a garden of Jehovah, Joy, yea, gladness is found in her,  Confession, and the voice of song. 
23O 051:004 Attend unto Me, O My people, And, O My nation, unto Me give  ear. For a law from Me goeth out, And My judgment to the light,  Peoples I do cause to rest. 
23O 051:005 Near [is] My righteousness, Gone out hath My salvation and  Mine arms, Peoples they judge, on Me isles do wait, Yea, on  Mine arm they do wait with hope. 
23O 051:006 Lift ye up to the heavens your eyes, And look attentively  unto the earth beneath, For the heavens as smoke have vanished,  And the earth as a garment weareth out, And its inhabitants as  gnats do die, And My salvation is to the age, And My  righteousness is not broken. 
23O 051:007 Hearken unto Me, ye who know righteousness, A people, in  whose heart [is] My law, Fear ye not the reproach of men, And  for their reviling be not affrighted, 
23O 051:008 For as a garment eat them doth a moth, And as wool eat them  doth a worm, And My righteousness is to the age, And My  salvation to all generations. 
23O 051:009 Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of Jehovah, Awake, as  [in] days of old, generations of the ages, Art not Thou it that  is hewing down Rahab, Piercing a dragon! 
23O 051:010 Art not Thou it that is drying up a sea, Waters of a great  deep? That hath made deep places of a sea A way for the passing  of the redeemed? 
23O 051:011 And the ransomed of Jehovah turn back, And they have come  to Zion with singing, And joy age-during [is] on their head,  Gladness and joy they attain, Fled away have sorrow and  sighing, 
23O 051:012 I -- I [am] He -- your comforter, Who [art] thou -- and  thou art afraid of man? he dieth! And of the son of man --  grass he is made! 
23O 051:013 And thou dost forget Jehovah thy maker, Who is stretching  out the heavens, and founding earth, And thou dost fear  continually all the day, Because of the fury of the oppressor,  As he hath prepared to destroy. And where [is] the fury of the  oppressor? 
23O 051:014 Hastened hath a wanderer to be loosed, And he doth not die  at the pit, And his bread is not lacking. 
23O 051:015 And I [am] Jehovah thy God, Quieting the sea, when its  billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
23O 051:016 And I put My words in thy mouth, And with the shadow of My  hand have covered thee, To plant the heavens, and to found  earth, And to say to Zion, `My people [art] thou.' 
23O 051:017 Stir thyself, stir thyself, rise, Jerusalem, Who hast  drunk from the hand of Jehovah The cup of His fury, The goblet,  the cup of trembling, thou hast drunk, Thou hast wrung out. 
23O 051:018 There is not a leader to her Out of all the sons she hath  borne, And there is none laying hold on her hand Out of all the  sons she hath nourished. 
23O 051:019 These two are meeting thee, who is moved for thee?  Spoiling and destruction -- Famine and sword, who -- I comfort  thee? 
23O 051:020 Thy sons have been wrapt up, they have lain down, At the  head of all out places, as a wild ox [in] a net, They are full  of the fury of Jehovah, The rebuke of Thy God. 
23O 051:021 Therefore, hear, I pray thee, this, O afflicted and  drunken one, and not with wine, 
23O 051:022 Thus said thy Lord Jehovah, and thy God, He pleadeth [for]  his people: `Lo, I have taken out of thy hand the cup of  trembling, The goblet, the cup of My fury, Thou dost not add to  drink it any more. 
23O 051:023 And I have put it into the hand of those afflicting thee,  Who have said to thy soul, Bow down, and we pass over, And thou  makest as the earth thy body, And as the street to those  passing by!' 
23O 052:001 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion, Put on the  garments of thy beauty, Jerusalem -- the Holy City; For enter  no more into thee again, Do the uncircumcised and unclean. 
23O 052:002 Shake thyself from dust, arise, sit, O Jerusalem, Bands of  thy neck have loosed themselves, O captive, daughter of Zion. 
23O 052:003 For thus said Jehovah: `For nought ye have been sold, And  not by money are ye redeemed.' 
23O 052:004 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: `To Egypt My people went  down at first to sojourn there, And Asshur -- for nought he  hath oppressed it. 
23O 052:005 And now, what -- to Me here, An affirmation of Jehovah,  That taken is My people for nought? Its rulers cause howling,  -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And continually all the day My  name is despised. 
23O 052:006 Therefore doth My people know My name, Therefore, in that  day, Surely I [am] He who is speaking, behold Me.' 
23O 052:007 How comely on the mountains, Have been the feet of one  proclaiming tidings, Sounding peace, proclaiming good tidings,  Sounding salvation, Saying to Zion, `Reigned hath thy God.' 
23O 052:008 The voice of thy watchmen! They have lifted up the voice,  together they cry aloud, Because eye to eye they see, in  Jehovah's turning back [to] Zion. 
23O 052:009 Break forth, sing together, O wastes of Jerusalem, For  Jehovah hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem. 
23O 052:010 Jehovah hath made bare His holy arm Before the eyes of all  the nations, And seen have all the ends of the earth, The  salvation of our God. 
23O 052:011 Turn aside, turn aside, go out thence, The unclean touch  not, go out from her midst, Be ye pure, who are bearing the  weapons of Jehovah. 
23O 052:012 For not in haste do ye go out, Yea, with flight ye go not  on, For going before you [is] Jehovah, And gathering you [is]  the God of Israel! 
23O 052:013 Lo, My servant doth act wisely, He is high, and hath been  lifted up, And hath been very high. 
23O 052:014 As astonished at thee have been many, (So marred by man  his appearance, And his form by sons of men.) 
23O 052:015 So doth he sprinkle many nations. Concerning him kings  shut their mouth, For that which was not recounted to them they  have seen, And that which they had not heard they have  understood! 
23O 053:001 Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm  of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed? 
23O 053:002 Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a  root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we  observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him. 
23O 053:003 He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and  acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us,  He is despised, and we esteemed him not. 
23O 053:004 Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains -- he  hath carried them, And we -- we have esteemed him plagued,  Smitten of God, and afflicted. 
23O 053:005 And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our  iniquities, The chastisement of our peace [is] on him, And by  his bruise there is healing to us. 
23O 053:006 All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we  have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The  punishment of us all. 
23O 053:007 It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth  not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as  a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his  mouth. 
23O 053:008 By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his  generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from  the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is  plagued, 
23O 053:009 And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the  rich [are] his high places, Because he hath done no violence,  Nor [is] deceit in his mouth. 
23O 053:010 And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him  sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth  seed -- he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his  hand doth prosper. 
23O 053:011 Of the labour of his soul he seeth -- he is satisfied,  Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous  one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear. 
23O 053:012 Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with  the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to  death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he  the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he  intercedeth. 
23O 054:001 Sing, O barren, she hath not borne! Break forth with  singing, and cry aloud, She hath not brought forth! For more  [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married  one, said Jehovah. 
23O 054:002 Enlarge the place of thy tent, And the curtains of thy  tabernacles they stretch out, Restrain not -- lengthen thy  cords, And thy pins make strong. 
23O 054:003 For right and left thou breakest forth, And thy seed doth  nations possess, 
23O 054:004 And desolate cities they cause to be inhabited. Fear not,  for thou art not ashamed, Nor blush, for thou art not  confounded, For the shame of thy youth thou forgettest, And the  reproach of thy widowhood Thou dost not remember any more. 
23O 054:005 For thy Maker [is] thy husband, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His  name, And thy Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, `God of all  the earth,' He is called. 
23O 054:006 For, as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, Called thee  hath Jehovah, Even a youthful wife when she is refused, said  thy God. 
23O 054:007 In a small moment I have forsaken thee, And in great  mercies I do gather thee, 
23O 054:008 In overflowing wrath I hid my face [for] a moment from  thee, And in kindness age-during I have loved thee, Said thy  Redeemer -- Jehovah! 
23O 054:009 For, the waters of Noah [is] this to Me, In that I have  sworn -- the waters of Noah Do not pass again over the earth --  So I have sworn, Wrath is not upon thee, Nor rebuke against  thee. 
23O 054:010 For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My  kindness from thee departeth not, And the covenant of My peace  removeth not, Said hath thy loving one -- Jehovah. 
23O 054:011 O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Lo, I am laying  with cement thy stones, And have founded thee with sapphires, 
23O 054:012 And have made of agate thy pinnacles, And thy gates of  carbuncle stones, And all thy border of stones of delight, 
23O 054:013 And all thy sons are taught of Jehovah, And abundant [is]  the peace of thy sons. 
23O 054:014 In righteousness thou establishest thyself, Be far from  oppression, for thou fearest not, And from ruin, for it cometh  not near unto thee. 
23O 054:015 Lo, he doth diligently assemble without My desire, Who  hath assembled near thee? By thee he falleth! 
23O 054:016 Lo, I -- I have prepared an artizan, Blowing on a fire of  coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have  prepared a destroyer to destroy. 
23O 054:017 No weapon formed against thee prospereth, And every tongue  rising against thee, In judgment thou condemnest. This [is] the  inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, And their righteousness  from me, an affirmation of Jehovah! 
23O 055:001 Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who  hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without  money and without price, wine and milk. 
23O 055:002 Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your  labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently  unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in  fatness. 
23O 055:003 Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul  doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind  acts of David -- that are stedfast. 
23O 055:004 Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and  commander to peoples. 
23O 055:005 Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation  who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy  God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified  thee. 
23O 055:006 Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He  is near, 
23O 055:007 Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity  his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him,  And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon. 
23O 055:008 For not My thoughts [are] your thoughts, Nor your ways My  ways, -- an affirmation of Jehovah, 
23O 055:009 For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high  have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your  thoughts. 
23O 055:010 For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the  heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth,  And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given  seed to the sower, and bread to the eater, 
23O 055:011 So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not  back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And  prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it. 
23O 055:012 For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought  in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with]  singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand. 
23O 055:013 Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the  brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a  name, For a sign age-during -- it is not cut off! 
23O 056:001 Thus said Jehovah: `Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness,  For near [is] My salvation to come, And My righteousness to be  revealed.' 
23O 056:002 O the happiness of a man who doth this, And of a son of man  who keepeth hold on it, Keeping the sabbath from polluting it,  And keeping his hand from doing any evil. 
23O 056:003 Nor speak let a son of the stranger, Who is joined unto  Jehovah, saying: `Jehovah doth certainly separate me from His  people.' Nor say let the eunuch, `Lo, I am a tree dried up,' 
23O 056:004 For thus said Jehovah of the eunuchs, Who do keep My  sabbaths, And have fixed on that which I desired, And are  keeping hold on My covenant: 
23O 056:005 I have given to them in My house, And within My walls a  station and a name, Better than sons and than daughters, A name  age-during I give to him That is not cut off. 
23O 056:006 And sons of the stranger, who are joined to Jehovah, To  serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, To be to Him for  servants, Every keeper of the sabbath from polluting it, And  those keeping hold on My covenant. 
23O 056:007 I have brought them unto My holy mountain, And caused them  to rejoice in My house of prayer, Their burnt-offerings and  their sacrifices [Are] for a pleasing thing on Mine altar, For  My house, `A house of prayer,' Is called for all the peoples. 
23O 056:008 An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Who is gathering the  outcasts of Israel: `Again I gather to him -- to his gathered  ones.' 
23O 056:009 Every beast of the field, Come to devour, every beast in  the forest. 
23O 056:010 Blind [are] his watchmen -- all of them, They have not  known, All of them [are] dumb dogs, they are not able to bark,  Dozing, lying down, loving to slumber. 
23O 056:011 And the dogs [are] strong of desire, They have not known  sufficiency, And they [are] shepherds! They have not known  understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each  to his dishonest gain from his quarter: 
23O 056:012 `Come ye, I take wine, And we drink, quaff strong drink,  And as this day hath been to-morrow, Great -- exceeding  abundant!' 
23O 057:001 The righteous hath perished, And there is none laying [it]  to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any  considering that from the face of evil Gathered is the  righteous one. 
23O 057:002 He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is  going straightforward. 
23O 057:003 And ye, come near hither, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an  adulterer, Even thou dost commit whoredom. 
23O 057:004 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge ye  the mouth? Prolong ye the tongue? Are not ye children of  transgression? a false seed? 
23O 057:005 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree,  Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the  rocks. 
23O 057:006 Among the smooth things of a brook [is] thy portion, They  -- they [are] thy lot, Also to them thou hast poured out an  oblation, Thou hast caused a present to ascend, For these  things am I comforted? 
23O 057:007 On a mountain, high and exalted, Thou hast set thy couch,  Also thither thou hast gone up to make a sacrifice. 
23O 057:008 And behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy  memorial, For from Me thou hast removed, and goest up, Thou  hast enlarged thy couch, And dost covenant for thyself among  them, Thou hast loved their couch, the station thou sawest, 
23O 057:009 And goest joyfully to the king in ointment, And dost  multiply thy perfumes, And sendest thine ambassadors afar off,  And humblest thyself unto Sheol. 
23O 057:010 In the greatness of thy way thou hast laboured, Thou hast  not said, `It is desperate.' The life of thy hand thou hast  found, Therefore thou hast not been sick. 
23O 057:011 And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou  liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid [it] to  thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou  fearest not? 
23O 057:012 I declare thy righteousness, and thy works, And they do  not profit thee. 
23O 057:013 When thou criest, let thy gatherings deliver thee, And all  of them carry away doth wind, Take away doth vanity, And whoso  is trusting in Me inheriteth the land, And doth possess My holy  mountain. 
23O 057:014 And he hath said, `Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift  a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.' 
23O 057:015 For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting  eternity, and holy [is] His name: `In the high and holy place I  dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the  spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,' 
23O 057:016 For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth,  For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have  made. 
23O 057:017 For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth,  and I smite him, Hiding -- and am wroth, And he goeth on  turning back in the way of his heart. 
23O 057:018 His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And  recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones. 
23O 057:019 Producing the fruit of the lips, `Peace, peace,' to the  far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah. 
23O 057:020 And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For to rest it  is not able, And its waters cast out filth and mire. 
23O 057:021 There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked! 
23O 058:001 Call with the throat, restrain not, As a trumpet lift up  thy voice, And declare to My people their transgression, And to  the house of Jacob their sins; 
23O 058:002 Seeing -- Me day by day they seek, And the knowledge of My  ways they desire, As a nation that righteousness hath done, And  the judgment of its God hath not forsaken, They ask of me  judgments of righteousness, The drawing near of God they  desire: 
23O 058:003 `Why have we fasted, and Thou hast not seen? We have  afflicted our soul, and Thou knowest not.' Lo, in the day of  your fast ye find pleasure, And all your labours ye exact. 
23O 058:004 Lo, for strife and debate ye fast, And to smite with the  fist of wickedness, Ye fast not as [to]-day, To sound in the high  place your voice. 
23O 058:005 Like this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man's  afflicting his soul? To bow as a reed his head, And sackcloth  and ashes spread out? This dost thou call a fast, And a  desirable day -- to Jehovah? 
23O 058:006 Is not this the fast that I chose -- To loose the bands of  wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send  out the oppressed free, And every yoke ye draw off? 
23O 058:007 Is it not to deal to the hungry thy bread, And the mourning  poor bring home, That thou seest the naked and cover him, And  from thine own flesh hide not thyself? 
23O 058:008 Then broken up as the dawn is thy light, And thy health in  haste springeth up, Gone before thee hath thy righteousness,  The honour of Jehovah doth gather thee. 
23O 058:009 Then thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and  He saith, `Behold Me.' If thou turn aside from thy midst the  yoke, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of  vanity, 
23O 058:010 And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the  afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath  thy light, And thy thick darkness [is] as noon. 
23O 058:011 And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied  in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast  been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose  waters lie not. 
23O 058:012 And they have built out of thee the wastes of old, The  foundations of many generations thou raisest up, And one  calleth thee, `Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to  rest in.' 
23O 058:013 If thou dost turn from the sabbath thy foot, Doing thine  own pleasure on My holy day, And hast cried to the sabbath, `A  delight,' To the holy of Jehovah, `Honoured,' And hast honoured  it, without doing thine own ways, Without finding thine own  pleasure, And speaking a word. 
23O 058:014 Then dost thou delight thyself on Jehovah, And I have  caused thee to ride on high places of earth, And have caused  thee to eat the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth  of Jehovah hath spoken! 
23O 059:001 Lo, the hand of Jehovah Hath not been shortened from  saving, Nor heavy his ear from hearing. 
23O 059:002 But your iniquities have been separating Between you and  your God, And your sins have hidden The Presence from you --  from hearing. 
23O 059:003 For your hands have been polluted with blood, And your  fingers with iniquity, Your lips have spoken falsehood, Your  tongue perverseness doth mutter. 
23O 059:004 There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none  pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking  falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity. 
23O 059:005 Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider  they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the  crushed hatcheth a viper. 
23O 059:006 Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover  themselves with their works, Their works [are] works of  iniquity, And a deed of violence [is] in their hands. 
23O 059:007 Their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent  blood, Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and  destruction [are] in their highways. 
23O 059:008 A way of peace they have not known, And there is no  judgment in their paths, Their paths they have made perverse  for themselves, No treader in it hath known peace. 
23O 059:009 Therefore hath judgment been far from us, And righteousness  reacheth us not, We wait for light, and lo, darkness, For  brightness -- in thick darkness we go, 
23O 059:010 We feel like the blind [for] the wall, Yea, as without  eyes we feel, We have stumbled at noon as at twilight, In  desolate places as the dead. 
23O 059:011 We make a noise as bears -- all of us, And as doves we coo  sorely; We wait for judgment, and there is none, For salvation  -- it hath been far from us. 
23O 059:012 For our transgressions have been multiplied before Thee,  And our sins have testified against us, For our transgressions  [are] with us, And our iniquities -- we have known them. 
23O 059:013 Transgressing, and lying against Jehovah, And removing  from after our God, Speaking oppression and apostacy,  Conceiving and uttering from the heart Words of falsehood. 
23O 059:014 And removed backward is judgment, And righteousness afar  off standeth, For truth hath been feeble in the street, And  straightforwardness is not able to enter, 
23O 059:015 And the truth is lacking, And whoso is turning aside from  evil, Is making himself a spoil. And Jehovah seeth, and it is  evil in His eyes, That there is no judgment. 
23O 059:016 And He seeth that there is no man, And is astonished that  there is no intercessor, And His own arm giveth salvation to  Him, And His righteousness -- it sustained Him. 
23O 059:017 And He putteth on righteousness as a breastplate, And an  helmet of salvation on His head, And He putteth on garments of  vengeance [for] clothing, And is covered, as [with] an  upper-robe, [with] zeal. 
23O 059:018 According to deeds -- so He repayeth. Fury to His  adversaries, [their] deed to His enemies, To the isles [their]  deed He repayeth. 
23O 059:019 And they fear from the west the name of Jehovah, And from  the rising of the sun -- His honour, When come in as a flood  doth an adversary, The Spirit of Jehovah hath raised an ensign  against him. 
23O 059:020 And come to Zion hath a redeemer, Even to captives of  transgression in Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
23O 059:021 And I -- this [is] My covenant with them, said Jehovah, My  Spirit that [is] on thee, And My words that I have put in thy  mouth, Depart not from thy mouth, And from the mouth of thy  seed, And from the mouth of thy seed's seed, said Jehovah, From  henceforth unto the age! 
23O 060:001 Arise, be bright, for come hath thy light, And the honour  of Jehovah hath risen on thee. 
23O 060:002 For, lo, the darkness doth cover the earth, And thick  darkness the peoples, And on thee rise doth Jehovah, And His  honour on thee is seen. 
23O 060:003 And come have nations to thy light, And kings to the  brightness of thy rising. 
23O 060:004 Lift up round about thine eyes and see, All of them have  been gathered, they have come to thee, Thy sons from afar do  come, And thy daughters on the side are supported. 
23O 060:005 Then thou seest, and hast become bright, And thine heart  hath been afraid and enlarged, For turn unto thee doth the  multitude of the sea, The forces of nations do come to thee. 
23O 060:006 A company of camels covereth thee, Dromedaries of Midian  and Ephah, All of them from Sheba do come, Gold and  frankincense they bear, And of the praises of Jehovah they  proclaim the tidings. 
23O 060:007 All the flock of Kedar are gathered to thee, The rams of  Nebaioth do serve thee, They ascend for acceptance Mine altar,  And the house of My beauty I beautify. 
23O 060:008 Who [are] these -- as a thick cloud they fly, And as doves  unto their windows? 
23O 060:009 Surely for Me isles do wait, And ships of Tarshish first,  To bring thy sons from afar, Their silver and their gold with  them, To the name of Jehovah thy God, And to the Holy One of  Israel, Because He hath beautified thee. 
23O 060:010 And sons of a stranger have built thy walls, And their  kings do serve thee, For in My wrath I have smitten thee, And  in My good pleasure I have pitied thee. 
23O 060:011 And opened have thy gates continually, By day and by night  they are not shut, To bring unto thee the force of nations,  Even their kings are led. 
23O 060:012 For the nation and the kingdom that do not serve thee  perish, Yea, the nations are utterly wasted. 
23O 060:013 The honour of Lebanon unto thee doth come, Fir, pine, and  box together, To beautify the place of My sanctuary, And the  place of My feet I make honourable. 
23O 060:014 And come unto thee, bowing down, Have sons of those  afflicting thee, And bowed themselves to the soles of thy feet  Have all despising thee, And they have cried to thee: `City of  Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.' 
23O 060:015 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, And none passing  through, I have made thee for an excellency age-during, A joy  of generation and generation. 
23O 060:016 And thou hast sucked the milk of nations, Yea, the breast  of kings thou suckest, And thou hast known that I, Jehovah, Thy  Saviour, and Thy Redeemer, [Am] the Mighty One of Jacob. 
23O 060:017 Instead of the brass I bring in gold, And instead of the  iron I bring in silver, And instead of the wood brass, And  instead of the stone iron, And I have made thy inspection  peace, And thy exactors righteousness. 
23O 060:018 Violence is not heard any more in thy land, Spoiling and  destruction in thy borders, And thou hast called `Salvation'  thy walls, And thy gates, `Praise.' 
23O 060:019 To thee no more is the sun for a light by day, And for  brightness the moon giveth not light to thee, And Jehovah hath  become to thee A light age-during, and thy God thy beauty. 
23O 060:020 Thy sun goeth no more in, And thy moon is not removed, For  Jehovah becometh to thee a light age-during. And the days of  thy mourning have been completed. 
23O 060:021 And thy people [are] all of them righteous, To the age  they possess the earth, A branch of My planting, A work of My  hands, to be beautified. 
23O 060:022 The little one doth become a chief, And the small one a  mighty nation, I, Jehovah, in its own time do hasten it! 
23O 061:001 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah [is] on me, Because Jehovah  did anoint me To proclaim tidings to the humble, He sent me to  bind the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives liberty, And  to bound ones an opening of bands. 
23O 061:002 To proclaim the year of the good pleasure of Jehovah, And  the day of vengeance of our God, To comfort all mourners. 
23O 061:003 To appoint to mourners in Zion, To give to them beauty  instead of ashes, The oil of joy instead of mourning, A  covering of praise for a spirit of weakness, And He is calling  to them, `Trees of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah -- to  be beautified.' 
23O 061:004 And they have built the wastes of old, The desolations of  the ancients they raise up, And they have renewed waste cities,  The desolations of generation and generation. 
23O 061:005 And strangers have stood and fed your flock, Sons of a  foreigner [are] your husbandmen, And your vine-dressers. 
23O 061:006 And ye are called `Priests of Jehovah,' `Ministers of our  God,' is said of you, The strength of nations ye consume, And  in their honour ye do boast yourselves. 
23O 061:007 Instead of your shame and confusion, A second time they  sing of their portion, Therefore in their land A second time do  they take possession, Joy age-during [is] for them. 
23O 061:008 For I [am] Jehovah, loving judgment, Hating plunder for a  burnt-offering, And I have given their wage in truth, And a  covenant age-during I make for them. 
23O 061:009 And known among nations hath been their seed, And their  offspring in the midst of the peoples, All their beholders  acknowledge them, For they [are] a seed Jehovah hath blessed. 
23O 061:010 I greatly rejoice in Jehovah, Joy doth my soul in my God,  For He clothed me with garments of salvation, With a robe of  righteousness covereth Me, As a bridegroom prepareth ornaments,  And as a bride putteth on her jewels. 
23O 061:011 For, as the earth bringeth forth her shoots, And as a  garden causeth its sown things to shoot up, So the Lord Jehovah  causeth righteousness and praise To shoot up before all the  nations! 
23O 062:001 For Zion's sake I am not silent, And for Jerusalem's sake I  do not rest, Till her righteousness go out as brightness, And  her salvation, as a torch that burneth. 
23O 062:002 And nations have seen thy righteousness, And all kings  thine honour, And He is giving to thee a new name, That the  mouth of Jehovah doth define. 
23O 062:003 And thou hast been a crown of beauty in the hand of  Jehovah, And a diadem of royalty in the hand of thy God, 
23O 062:004 It is not said of thee any more, `Forsaken!' And of thy  land it is not said any more, `Desolate,' For to thee is cried,  `My delight [is] in her,' And to thy land, `Married,' For  Jehovah hath delighted in thee, And thy land is married. 
23O 062:005 For a young man doth marry a virgin, Thy Builders do marry  thee, With the joy of a bridegroom over a bride, Rejoice over  thee doth thy God. 
23O 062:006 `On thy walls, O Jerusalem, I have appointed watchmen, All  the day, and all the night, Continually, they are not silent.'  O ye remembrancers of Jehovah, Keep not silence for yourselves, 
23O 062:007 And give not silence to Him, Till He establish, and till He  make Jerusalem A praise in the earth. 
23O 062:008 Sworn hath Jehovah by His right hand, Even by the arm of  His strength: `I give not thy corn any more [as] food for thine  enemies, Nor do sons of a stranger drink thy new wine, For  which thou hast laboured. 
23O 062:009 For, those gathering it do eat it, and have praised  Jehovah, And those collecting it do drink it in My holy  courts.' 
23O 062:010 Pass ye on, pass on through the gates, Prepare ye the way  of the people, Raise up, raise up the highway, clear it from  stones, Lift up an ensign over the peoples. 
23O 062:011 Lo, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth:  `Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy salvation hath come,'  Lo, his hire [is] with him, and his wage before him. 
23O 062:012 And they have cried to them, `People of the Holy One,  Redeemed of Jehovah,' Yea, to thee is called, `Sought out one,  a city not forsaken!' 
23O 063:001 `Who [is] this coming from Edom? With dyed garments from  Bozrah? This that is honourable in his clothing, Travelling in  the abundance of his power?' -- `I, speaking in righteousness,  mighty to save.' 
23O 063:002 `Wherefore [is] thy clothing red? And thy garments as  treading in a wine fat?' 
23O 063:003 -- `A wine-press I have trodden by myself, And of the  peoples there is no one with me, And I tread them in mine  anger, And I trample them in my fury, Sprinkled is their  strength on my garments, And all my clothing I have polluted. 
23O 063:004 For the day of vengeance [is] in my heart, And the year of  my redeemed hath come. 
23O 063:005 And I look attentively, and there is none helping, And I am  astonished that there is none supporting, And give salvation to  me doth mine own arm. And my wrath -- it hath supported me. 
23O 063:006 And I tread down peoples in mine anger, And I make them  drunk in my fury, And I bring down to earth their strength. 
23O 063:007 The kind acts of Jehovah I make mention of, The praises of  Jehovah, According to all that Jehovah hath done for us, And  the abundance of the goodness to the house of Israel, That He  hath done for them, According to His mercies, And according to  the abundance of His kind acts. 
23O 063:008 And He saith, Only My people they [are], Sons -- they lie  not, and He is to them for a saviour. 
23O 063:009 In all their distress [He is] no adversary, And the  messenger of His presence saved them, In His love and in His  pity He redeemed them, And He doth lift them up, And beareth  them all the days of old. 
23O 063:010 And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He  turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against  them. 
23O 063:011 And He remembereth the days of old, Moses -- his people.  Where [is] He who is bringing them up from the sea, The  shepherd of his flock? Where [is] He who is putting in its  midst His Holy Spirit? 
23O 063:012 Leading by the right hand of Moses, the arm of His glory,  Cleaving waters from before them, To make to Himself a name  age-during. 
23O 063:013 Leading them through the depths, As a horse in a plain  they stumble not. 
23O 063:014 As a beast into a valley goeth down, The Spirit of Jehovah  causeth him to rest, So hast Thou led Thy people, To make to  Thyself a glorious name. 
23O 063:015 Look attentively from the heavens, And see from Thy holy  and beauteous habitation, Where [is] Thy zeal and Thy might?  The multitude of Thy bowels and Thy mercies Towards me have  refrained themselves. 
23O 063:016 For Thou [art] our Father, For Abraham hath not known us,  And Israel doth not acknowledge us, Thou, O Jehovah, [art] our  Father, Our redeemer from the age, [is] Thy name. 
23O 063:017 Why causest Thou us to wander, O Jehovah, from Thy ways?  Thou hardenest our heart from Thy fear, Turn back for Thy  servants' sake, The tribes of Thine inheritance. 
23O 063:018 For a little while did Thy holy people possess, Our  adversaries have trodden down Thy sanctuary. 
23O 063:019 We have been from of old, Thou hast not ruled over them,  Not called is Thy name upon them! 
23O 064:001 Didst Thou not rend the heavens? Thou didst come down, From  thy presence did mountains flow, 
23O 064:002 (As fire kindleth stubble -- Fire causeth water to boil,)  To make known Thy name to Thine adversaries, From Thy presence  do nations tremble. 
23O 064:003 In Thy doing fearful things -- we expect not, Thou didst  come down, From Thy presence did mountains flow. 
23O 064:004 Even from antiquity [men] have not heard, They have not  given ear, Eye hath not seen a God save Thee, He doth work for  those waiting for Him. 
23O 064:005 Thou hast met with the rejoicer And the doer of  righteousness, In Thy ways they remember Thee, Lo, Thou hast  been wroth when we sin, By them [is] continuance, and we are  saved. 
23O 064:006 And we are as unclean -- all of us, And as a garment  passing away, all our righteous acts; And we fade as a leaf --  all of us. And our iniquities as wind do take us away. 
23O 064:007 And there is none calling in Thy name, Stirring up himself  to lay hold on Thee, For Thou hast hid Thy face from us, And  thou meltest us away by our iniquities. 
23O 064:008 And now, O Jehovah, thou [art] our Father, We [are] the  clay, and Thou our Framer, And the work of Thy hand -- all of  us. 
23O 064:009 Be not wroth, O Jehovah, very sore, Nor for ever remember  iniquity, Lo, look attentively, we beseech Thee, Thy people  [are] we all. 
23O 064:010 Thy holy cities have been a wilderness, Zion a wilderness  hath been, Jerusalem a desolation. 
23O 064:011 Our holy and our beautiful house, Where praise Thee did  our fathers, Hath become burnt with fire, And all our desirable  things have become a waste. 
23O 064:012 For these dost Thou refrain Thyself, Jehovah? Thou art  silent, and dost afflict us very sore!' 
23O 065:001 I have been inquired of by those who asked not, I have been  found by those who sought Me not, I have said, `Behold Me,  behold Me,' Unto a nation not calling in My name. 
23O 065:002 I have spread out My hands all the day Unto an apostate  people, Who are going in the way not good after their own  thoughts. 
23O 065:003 The people who are provoking Me to anger, To My face  continually, Sacrificing in gardens, and making perfume on the  bricks: 
23O 065:004 Who are dwelling among sepulchres, And lodge in reserved  places, Who are eating flesh of the sow, And a piece of  abominable things -- their vessels. 
23O 065:005 Who are saying, `Keep to thyself, come not nigh to me, For  I have declared thee unholy.' These [are] a smoke in Mine  anger, A fire burning all the day. 
23O 065:006 Lo, it is written before Me: `I am not silent, but have  recompensed; And I have recompensed into their bosom, 
23O 065:007 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers  together, said Jehovah, Who have made perfume on the mountains,  And on the heights have reproached Me, And I have measured  their former work into their bosom.' 
23O 065:008 Thus said Jehovah: As the new wine is found in the cluster,  And one hath said, `Destroy it not for a blessing [is] in it,'  So I do for My servants' sake, not to destroy the whole. 
23O 065:009 And I have brought out from Jacob a seed, And from Judah a  possessor of My mount, And possess it do My chosen ones, And My  servants do dwell there. 
23O 065:010 And Sharon hath been for the habitation of a flock, And  the valley of Achor for the lying down of a herd, For My people  who have sought Me. 
23O 065:011 And ye [are] those forsaking Jehovah, Who are forgetting  My holy mountain, Who are setting in array for Gad a table, And  who are filling for Meni a mixture. 
23O 065:012 And I have numbered you for the sword, And all of you for  slaughter bow down, Because I called, and ye have not answered,  I have spoken, and ye have not hearkened, And ye do the evil  thing in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not -- fixed. 
23O 065:013 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, My servants do  eat, and ye do hunger, Lo, My servants do drink, and ye do  thirst, Lo, My servants rejoice, and ye are ashamed, 
23O 065:014 Lo, My servants sing from joy of heart, And ye cry from  pain of heart, And from breaking of spirit ye do howl. 
23O 065:015 And ye have left your name For an oath for My chosen ones,  And the Lord Jehovah hath put thee to death, And to His  servants He giveth another name. 
23O 065:016 So that he who is blessing himself in the earth, Doth  bless himself In the God of faithfulness, And he who is  swearing in the earth, Doth swear by the God of faithfulness,  Because the former distresses have been forgotten, And because  they have been hid from Mine eyes. 
23O 065:017 For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And  the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the  heart. 
23O 065:018 But joy ye, and rejoice for ever, that I [am] Creator,  For, lo, I am creating Jerusalem a rejoicing, And her people a  joy. 
23O 065:019 And I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, And have joyed in My  people, And not heard in her any more Is the voice of weeping,  and the voice of crying. 
23O 065:020 There is not thence any more a suckling of days, And an  aged man who doth not complete his days, For the youth a  hundred years old dieth, And the sinner, a hundred years old,  is lightly esteemed. 
23O 065:021 And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted  vineyards, and eaten their fruit. 
23O 065:022 They do not build, and another inhabit, They do not plant,  and another eat, For as the days of a tree [are] the days of My  people, And the work of their hands wear out do My chosen ones. 
23O 065:023 They labour not for a vain thing, Nor do they bring forth  for trouble, For the seed of the blessed of Jehovah [are] they,  And their offspring with them. 
23O 065:024 And it hath come to pass, They do not yet call, and I  answer, They are yet speaking, and I hear. 
23O 065:025 Wolf and lamb do feed as one, And a lion as an ox eateth  straw, As to the serpent -- dust [is] its food, They do no  evil, nor destroy, In all My holy mountain, said Jehovah! 
23O 066:001 Thus said Jehovah: The heavens [are] My throne, And the  earth My footstool, Where [is] this -- the house that ye build  for Me? And where [is] this -- the place -- My rest? 
23O 066:002 And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are,  An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look  attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is  trembling at My word. 
23O 066:003 Whoso slaughtereth the ox smiteth a man, Whoso sacrificeth  the lamb beheadeth a dog, Whoso is bringing up a present -- The  blood of a sow, Whoso is making mention of frankincense, Is  blessing iniquity. Yea, they have fixed on their own ways, And  in their abominations their soul hath delighted. 
23O 066:004 I also -- I fix on their vexations, And their fears I bring  in to them, Because I have called, and there is none answering,  I spake, and they have not hearkened, And they do the evil  things in Mine eyes, And on that which I desired not -- fixed. 
23O 066:005 Hear a word of Jehovah, Ye who are trembling unto His word,  Said have your brethren who are hating you, Who are driving you  out, for My name's sake: `Honoured is Jehovah, and we look on  your joy,' But they are ashamed. 
23O 066:006 A voice of noise [is] from the city, a voice from the  temple, The voice of Jehovah, giving recompence to His enemies. 
23O 066:007 Before she is pained she hath brought forth, Before a pang  cometh to her, She hath delivered a male. 
23O 066:008 Who hath heard anything like this? Who hath seen anything  like these? Is earth caused to bring forth in one day? Born is  a nation at once? For she hath been pained, Zion also hath  borne her sons. 
23O 066:009 `Do I bring to the birth, And not cause to bring forth?'  saith Jehovah, `Am not I He who is causing to beget? I have  also restrained,' said thy God. 
23O 066:010 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, And be glad in her, all ye  loving her, Rejoice ye with her for joy, All ye are mourning  for her, 
23O 066:011 So that ye suck, and have been satisfied, From the breast  of her consolations, So that ye wring out, and have delighted  yourselves From the abundance of her honour. 
23O 066:012 For thus said Jehovah: `Lo, I am stretching out to her  peace as a river, And as an overflowing stream the honour of  nations, And ye have sucked, on the side ye are carried, And on  the knees ye are dandled. 
23O 066:013 As one whom his mother comforteth, so do I comfort you,  Yea, in Jerusalem ye are comforted. 
23O 066:014 And ye have seen, and rejoiced hath your heart, And your  bones as tender grass do flourish, And the hand of Jehovah hath  been known unto His servants, And He hath been indignant with  His enemies. 
23O 066:015 For, lo, Jehovah in fire cometh, And as a hurricane His  chariots, To refresh in fury His anger, And His rebuke in  flames of fire. 
23O 066:016 For by fire and by His sword, Doth Jehovah do judgment  with all flesh. And many have been Jehovah's pierced ones.' 
23O 066:017 Those sanctifying and cleansing themselves at the gardens,  After Ahad in the midst, Eating flesh of the sow, And of the  abomination, and of the mouse, Together are consumed, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
23O 066:018 And I -- their works and their thoughts, I come to gather  all the nations and tongues, And they have come and seen My  honour. 
23O 066:019 And I have set among them a sign, And have sent out of  them those escaping unto the nations, (Tarshish, Pul, and Lud,  drawing bow, Tubal and Javan, the isles that are far off,) Who  have not heard My fame, nor seen Mine honour, And they have  declared Mine honour among nations. 
23O 066:020 And they have brought all your brethren out of all the  nations, A present to Jehovah, On horses, and on chariot, and  on litters, And on mules, and on dromedaries, Unto My holy  mountain Jerusalem, said Jehovah, As the sons of Israel bring  the present in a clean vessel, Into the house of Jehovah. 
23O 066:021 And also of them I take for priests, For Levites, said  Jehovah. 
23O 066:022 For, as the new heavens and the new earth that I am  making, Are standing before Me, An affirmation of Jehovah! So  remain doth your seed and your name. 
23O 066:023 And it hath been from month to month, And from sabbath to  sabbath, Come do all flesh to bow themselves before Me, Said  Jehovah. 
23O 066:024 And they have gone forth, And looked on the carcases of  the men Who are transgressing against me, For their worm dieth  not, And their fire is not quenched, And they have been an  abhorrence to all flesh! 
24O 001:001 Words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, of the priests who [are]  in Anathoth, in the land of Benjamin, 
24O 001:002 unto whom the word of Jehovah hath been in the days of  Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of  his reign, 
24O 001:003 and it is in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of  Judah, till the completion of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son  of Josiah, king of Judah, till the removal of Jerusalem in the  fifth month. 
24O 001:004 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
24O 001:005 `Before I form thee in the belly, I have known thee; and  before thou comest forth from the womb I have separated thee, a  prophet to nations I have made thee.' 
24O 001:006 And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah! lo, I have not known -- to  speak, for I [am] a youth.' 
24O 001:007 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Do not say, I [am] a youth, for  to all to whom I send thee thou goest, and all that I command  thee thou speakest. 
24O 001:008 Be not afraid of their faces, for with thee [am] I to  deliver thee, -- an affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 001:009 And Jehovah putteth forth His hand, and striketh against my  mouth, and Jehovah saith unto me, `Lo, I have put my words in  thy mouth. 
24O 001:010 See, I have charged thee this day concerning the nations,  and concerning the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to break down,  and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.' 
24O 001:011 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `What art  thou seeing, Jeremiah?' And I say, `A rod of an almond tree I  am seeing.' 
24O 001:012 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Thou hast well seen: for I am  watching over My word to do it.' 
24O 001:013 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time,  saying, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `A blown pot I am  seeing, and its face [is] from the north.' 
24O 001:014 And Jehovah saith unto me, `From the north is the evil  loosed against all inhabitants of the land. 
24O 001:015 For, lo, I am calling for all families of the kingdoms of  the north, -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and they have come,  and put each his throne at the opening of the gates of  Jerusalem, and by its walls round about, and by all cities of  Judah. 
24O 001:016 And I have spoken My judgments with them concerning all  their evil, in that they have forsaken Me, and make perfume to  other gods, and bow themselves to the works of their own hands. 
24O 001:017 `And thou, thou dost gird up thy loins, and hast arisen,  and spoken unto them all that I command thee: be not affrighted  because of them, lest I affright thee before them. 
24O 001:018 And I, lo, I have given thee this day for a fenced city,  and for an iron pillar, and for brazen walls over all the land,  to the kings of Judah, to its heads, to its priests, and to the  people of the land; 
24O 001:019 and they have fought against thee, and they prevail not  against thee; for with thee [am] I, -- an affirmation of  Jehovah -- to deliver thee. 
24O 002:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
24O 002:002 `Go, and thou hast called in the ears of Jerusalem, saying,  Thus said Jehovah: I have remembered for thee The kindness of  thy youth, the love of thine espousals, Thy going after Me in a  wilderness, in a land not sown. 
24O 002:003 Holy [is] Israel to Jehovah, The first-fruit of His  increase, All consuming him are guilty, Evil cometh in unto  them, an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 002:004 Hear a word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, And all ye  families of the house of Israel. 
24O 002:005 Thus said Jehovah: What -- have your fathers found in Me  perversity, That they have gone far off from Me, And go after  the vanity, and become vain, 
24O 002:006 And have not said, Where [is] Jehovah, Who bringeth us up  out of the land of Egypt, Who leadeth us in a wilderness, In a  land of deserts and pits, In a dry land, and of death-shade, In  a land -- none hath passed through it, Nor dwelt hath man  there?' 
24O 002:007 Yea, I bring you in to a land of fruitful fields, To eat its  fruit and its goodness, And ye come in and defile My land, And  Mine inheritance have made an abomination. 
24O 002:008 The priests have not said, `Where [is] Jehovah?' And those  handling the law have not known Me. And the shepherds  transgressed against Me, And the prophets have prophesied by  Baal, And after those who profit not have gone. 
24O 002:009 Therefore, yet I plead with you, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And with your sons' sons I plead. 
24O 002:010 For, pass to the isles of Chittim, and see, And to Kedar  send, and consider well, And see if there hath been like this: 
24O 002:011 Hath a nation changed gods? (And they [are] no gods!) And  My people hath changed its honour For that which doth not  profit. 
24O 002:012 Be astonished, ye heavens, at this, Yea, be frightened, be  greatly wasted, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 002:013 For two evils hath My people done, Me they have forsaken, a  fountain of living waters, To hew out for themselves wells --  broken wells, That contain not the waters. 
24O 002:014 A servant [is] Israel? Is he a child of the house?  Wherefore hath he been for a prey? 
24O 002:015 Against him roar do young lions, They have given forth  their voice, And make his land become a desolation, His cities  have been burnt without inhabitant. 
24O 002:016 Also sons of Noph and Tahapanes Consume thee -- the crown  of the head! 
24O 002:017 Dost thou not do this to thyself? [By] thy forsaking  Jehovah thy God, At the time He is leading thee in the way? 
24O 002:018 And now, what -- to thee in the way of Egypt, To drink the  waters of Sihor? And what -- to thee in the way of Asshur, To  drink the waters of the River? 
24O 002:019 Instruct thee doth thy wickedness, And thy backslidings  reprove thee, Know and see that an evil and a bitter thing [Is]  thy forsaking Jehovah thy God, And My fear not being on thee,  An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts. 
24O 002:020 For from of old thou hast broken thy yoke, Drawn away thy  bands, and sayest, `I do not serve,' For, on every high height,  and under every green tree, Thou art wandering -- a harlot. 
24O 002:021 And I planted thee a choice vine, wholly a true seed, And  how hast thou been turned to Me, To the degenerate shoots of a  strange vine? 
24O 002:022 But though thou dost wash with nitre, And dost multiply to  thyself soap, Marked is thine iniquity before Me, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
24O 002:023 How sayest thou, `I have not been defiled, After the Baalim  I have not gone?' See thy way in a valley, know what thou hast  done, A swift dromedary winding her ways, 
24O 002:024 A wild ass accustomed to a wilderness, In the desire of her  soul she hath swallowed up wind, Her meeting -- who doth turn  her back? None seeking her do weary themselves, In her month  they find her. 
24O 002:025 Withhold thy foot from being unshod, And thy throat from  thirst, And thou sayest, `It is incurable, No, for I have loved  strangers, and after them I go.' 
24O 002:026 As the shame of a thief when he is found, So put to shame  have been the house of Israel, They, their kings, their heads,  And their priests, and their prophets, 
24O 002:027 Saying to wood, `My father [art] thou!' And to a stone,  `Thou hast brought me forth,' For they turned unto me the back  and not the face, And in the time of their vexation, They say,  `Arise Thou, and save us.' 
24O 002:028 And where [are] thy gods, that thou hast made to thyself?  Let them arise, if they may save thee, In the time of thy  vexation, For -- the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O  Judah, 
24O 002:029 Why do ye strive with Me? All of you have transgressed  against Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 002:030 In vain I have smitten your sons, Instruction they have not  accepted, Devoured hath your sword your prophets, As a  destroying lion. 
24O 002:031 O generation, see ye the word of Jehovah: A wilderness have  I been to Israel? A land of thick darkness? Wherefore have My  people said, `We mourned, We come not in again unto Thee.' 
24O 002:032 Doth a virgin forget her ornaments? A bride her bands? And  My people have forgotten Me days without number. 
24O 002:033 What -- dost thou make pleasing thy ways to seek love?  Therefore even the wicked thou hast taught thy ways. 
24O 002:034 Also in thy skirts hath been found the blood of innocent  needy souls, Not by digging have I found them, but upon all  these. 
24O 002:035 And thou sayest, `Because I have been innocent, Surely  turned back hath His anger from me?' Lo, I have been judged  with thee, Because of thy saying, `I have not sinned.' 
24O 002:036 What? thou art very vile to repeat thy way, Even of Egypt  thou art ashamed, As thou hast been ashamed of Asshur, 
24O 002:037 Also from this thou goest out, And thy hands on thy head,  For Jehovah hath kicked at thy confidences, And thou dost not  give prosperity to them! 
24O 003:001 Saying, `Lo, one sendeth away his wife, And she hath gone  from him, And she hath been to another man, Doth he turn back  unto her again? Greatly defiled is not that land? And thou hast  committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn again to Me, an  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 003:002 Lift thine eyes to the high places, and see, Where hast thou  not been lain with? On the ways thou hast sat for them, As an  Arab in a wilderness, And thou defilest the land, By thy  fornications, and by thy wickedness. 
24O 003:003 And withheld are showers, and gathered rain hath not been.  The forehead of a whorish woman thou hast, Thou hast refused to  be ashamed. 
24O 003:004 Hast thou not henceforth called to Me, `My father, Thou  [art] the leader of my youth? 
24O 003:005 Doth He keep to the age? watch for ever?' Lo, these things  thou hast spoken, And thou dost the evil things, and  prevailest. 
24O 003:006 And Jehovah saith unto me, in the days of Josiah the king,  `Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? She is  going on every high mountain, and unto the place of every green  tree, and committeth fornication there. 
24O 003:007 And I say, after her doing all these, Unto Me thou dost turn  back, and she hath not turned back, and see [it] doth her  treacherous sister Judah. 
24O 003:008 And I see when (for all the causes whereby backsliding  Israel committed adultery) I have sent her away, and I give the  bill of her divorce unto her, that treacherous Judah her sister  hath not feared, and goeth and committeth fornication -- she  also. 
24O 003:009 And it hath come to pass, from the vileness of her  fornication, that the land is defiled, and she committeth  fornication with stone and with wood. 
24O 003:010 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not  turned back unto Me with all her heart, but with falsehood, an  affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 003:011 And Jehovah saith unto me: `Justified herself hath  backsliding Israel, More than treacherous Judah. 
24O 003:012 Go, and thou hast proclaimed these words toward the north,  and hast said, Turn back, O backsliding Israel, An affirmation  of Jehovah! I cause not Mine anger to fall upon you, For I [am]  kind, an affirmation of Jehovah, I watch not to the age. 
24O 003:013 Only, know thine iniquity, For against Jehovah thy God thou  hast transgressed, And thou dost scatter thy ways to strangers,  Under every green tree, And to My voice thou hast not  hearkened, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 003:014 Turn back, O backsliding sons, An affirmation of Jehovah.  For I have ruled over you, And taken you one of a city, and two  of a family, And have brought you to Zion, 
24O 003:015 And I have given to you shepherds According to Mine own  heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding. 
24O 003:016 And it hath come to pass, when ye are multiplied, And have  been fruitful in the land, In those days -- an affirmation of  Jehovah, They say not any more, `The ark of the covenant of  Jehovah,' Nor doth it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember  concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again. 
24O 003:017 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, `O throne of Jehovah,'  And gathered unto her hath been all the nations, For the name  of Jehovah, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go any more after the  stubbornness of their evil heart. 
24O 003:018 In those days do the house of Judah Go unto the house of  Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, unto  the land That I caused your fathers to inherit. 
24O 003:019 And I have said, How do I put thee among the sons, And give  to thee a desirable land, A beauteous inheritance of the hosts  of nations, And I say, My father -- ye do call to Me, And from  after Me ye do not turn back. 
24O 003:020 But -- a woman hath deceived her friend, So ye have dealt  treacherously with Me, O house of Israel, an affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 003:021 A voice on high places is heard -- weeping, Supplications  of the sons of Israel, For they have made perverse their way,  They have forgotten Jehovah their God. 
24O 003:022 Turn back, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to  cease. -- Behold us, we have come to Thee, For Thou [art]  Jehovah our God. 
24O 003:023 Surely in vain from the heights, The multitude of mountains  -- Surely in Jehovah our God [is] the salvation of Israel. 
24O 003:024 And the shameful thing hath devoured The labour of our  fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons  and their daughters. 
24O 003:025 We have lain down in our shame, and cover us doth our  confusion, For against Jehovah our God we have sinned, We, and  our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, Nor have we  hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God! 
24O 004:001 If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah,  unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine  abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan. 
24O 004:002 And thou hast sworn -- Jehovah liveth, In truth, in  judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him  have nations, And in Him they boast themselves. 
24O 004:003 For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to  Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the  thorns. 
24O 004:004 Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of  your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem,  Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none  quenching, Because of the evil of your doings. 
24O 004:005 Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, `Blow  a trumpet in the land,' Call ye fully, and say ye: `Be  gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.' 
24O 004:006 Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not  still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great  destruction. 
24O 004:007 Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of  nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To  make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste,  without inhabitant. 
24O 004:008 For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce  anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us. 
24O 004:009 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah: `Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of  the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the  prophets do wonder.' 
24O 004:010 And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely  forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you,  And struck hath a sword unto the soul!' 
24O 004:011 At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem:  `A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,' The way of the  daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing,) 
24O 004:012 A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak  judgments with them. 
24O 004:013 Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his  chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Wo to us,  for we have been spoiled. 
24O 004:014 Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be  saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy  strength? 
24O 004:015 For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from  mount Ephraim. 
24O 004:016 Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem:  `Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give  forth against cities of Judah their voice. 
24O 004:017 As the keepers of a field They have been against her round  about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of  Jehovah.' 
24O 004:018 Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is]  thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy  heart. 
24O 004:019 My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my  heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For  the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul -- a shout of  battle! 
24O 004:020 Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath  been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a  moment -- my curtains. 
24O 004:021 Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a  trumpet? 
24O 004:022 For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known,  Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise  [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known. 
24O 004:023 I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto  the heavens, and their light is not. 
24O 004:024 I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are  trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly. 
24O 004:025 I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the  heavens have fled. 
24O 004:026 I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a  wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because  of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger. 
24O 004:027 For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a  completion I make not. 
24O 004:028 For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the  heavens above, because I have spoken -- I have purposed, And I  have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it. 
24O 004:029 From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with  the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets,  And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And  there is no one dwelling in them. 
24O 004:030 And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest  on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold.  For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make  thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life  they do seek. 
24O 004:031 For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as  of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter  of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands,  `Wo to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!' 
24O 005:001 Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you,  and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If  there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness -- Then am I  propitious to her. 
24O 005:002 And if they say, `Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood  they swear. 
24O 005:003 Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast  smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed  them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their  faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back. 
24O 005:004 And I -- I said, `Surely these [are] poor, They have been  foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The  judgment of their God. 
24O 005:005 I get me to the great, and I speak with them, For they have  known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.' Surely  they together have broken the yoke, They have drawn away the  bands. 
24O 005:006 Therefore smitten them hath a lion out of the forest, A wolf  of the deserts doth spoil them, A leopard is watching over  their cities, Every one who is going out of them is torn, For  many have been their transgressions, Mighty have been their  backslidings. 
24O 005:007 For this I am not propitious to thee, Thy sons have forsaken  Me, And are satisfied by that which is not god, I satisfy them,  and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They  gather themselves together. 
24O 005:008 Fed horses -- they have been early risers, Each to the wife  of his neighbour they neigh. 
24O 005:009 For these do I not lay a charge? An affirmation of Jehovah,  And on a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself? 
24O 005:010 Go ye up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make  not, Turn aside her branches, for they [are] not Jehovah's, 
24O 005:011 For dealt treacherously against Me have the house of  Israel, And the house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 005:012 They have lied against Jehovah, And they say, `[It is] not  He, Nor come in against us doth evil, Yea, sword and famine we  do not see. 
24O 005:013 And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them,'  -- thus it is done by them. 
24O 005:014 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, Because of your  speaking this word, Lo, I am making My words in thy mouth  become fire, And this people wood, and it hath devoured them. 
24O 005:015 Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house  of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation -- strong it  [is], a nation -- from of old it [is], A nation -- thou knowest  not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh. 
24O 005:016 Its quiver [is] as an open sepulchre, All of them -- mighty  ones. 
24O 005:017 And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They  consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock,  and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It  maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting -- by  the sword. 
24O 005:018 And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not  make you a completion. 
24O 005:019 And it hath come to pass, when ye say, `For what hath  Jehovah our God done to us all these?' That thou hast said unto  them, `As ye have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a  foreigner in your land, So do ye serve strangers in a land not  yours. 
24O 005:020 Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, And sound ye it in  Judah, saying, 
24O 005:021 Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without  heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and  they hear not. 
24O 005:022 Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My  presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of  the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They  shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its  billows, and they pass not over. 
24O 005:023 And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They  have turned aside, and they go on. 
24O 005:024 And they have not said in their heart, `Let us fear, we  pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling  and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest  He keepeth for us.' 
24O 005:025 Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have  kept the good from you. 
24O 005:026 For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh  about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap -- men  they capture. 
24O 005:027 As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of  deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich. 
24O 005:028 They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have  overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged,  The judgment of the fatherless -- and they prosper, And the  judgment of the needy they have not judged. 
24O 005:029 For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a  nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself? 
24O 005:030 An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land. 
24O 005:031 The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear  rule by their means, And My people have loved [it] so, And what  do they at its latter end? 
24O 006:001 Strengthen yourselves, sons of Benjamin, From the midst of  Jerusalem, And in Tekoa blow ye a trumpet, And over  Beth-Haccerem lift ye up a flame, For evil hath been seen from  the north, And great destruction. 
24O 006:002 The comely and the delicate one I have cut off, The daughter  of Zion. 
24O 006:003 Unto her come do shepherds and their droves, They have  stricken tents by her round about, They have fed each [in] his  own station. 
24O 006:004 Sanctify ye against her the battle, Rise, and we go up at  noon. Wo to us, for turned hath the day, For stretched out are  the shades of evening, 
24O 006:005 `Rise, and we go up by night, And we destroy her palaces.' 
24O 006:006 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Cut down her wood, And pour  out against Jerusalem a mount, She [is] the city to be  inspected, Wholly -- she is oppression in her midst. 
24O 006:007 As the digging of a well, is [for] its waters, So she hath  digged [for] her wickedness, Violence and spoil is heard in  her, Before My face continually [are] sickness and smiting. 
24O 006:008 Be instructed, O Jerusalem, Lest My soul be alienated from  thee, Lest I make thee a desolation, a land not inhabited. 
24O 006:009 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They surely glean, as a vine,  the remnant of Israel, Put back thy hand, as a gatherer to the  baskets. 
24O 006:010 To whom do I speak, and testify, and they hear? Lo, their  ear [is] uncircumcised, And they are not able to attend. Lo, a  word of Jehovah hath been to them for a reproach, They delight  not in it. 
24O 006:011 And with the fury of Jehovah I have been filled, (I have  been weary of containing,) To pour [it] on the suckling in the  street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even  husband with wife are captured, An elder with one full of days, 
24O 006:012 And their houses have been turned to others, Fields and  wives together, For I stretch out My hand against the  inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 006:013 For from their least unto their greatest, Every one is  gaining dishonest gain, And from prophet even unto priest,  Every one is dealing falsely, 
24O 006:014 And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people  slightly, Saying, `Peace, peace!' and there is no peace. 
24O 006:015 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Yea, they are  not at all ashamed, Yea, blushing they have not known,  Therefore they do fall among those falling, In the time I have  inspected them, They stumble, said Jehovah. 
24O 006:016 Thus said Jehovah: Stand ye by the ways and see, and ask  for paths of old, Where [is] this -- the good way? and go ye in  it, And find rest for yourselves. And they say, `We do not go.' 
24O 006:017 And I have raised up for you watchmen, Attend ye to the  voice of the trumpet. And they say, `We do not attend.' 
24O 006:018 Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O company, That which  [is] upon them. 
24O 006:019 Hear, O earth, lo, I am bringing evil on this people, The  fruit of their devices, For to My words they gave no attention,  And My law -- they kick against it. 
24O 006:020 Why [is] this to Me? frankincense from Sheba cometh, And  the sweet cane from a land afar off, Your burnt-offerings [are]  not for acceptance, And your sacrifices have not been sweet to  Me. 
24O 006:021 Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I do give to this people  stumbling blocks, And stumbled against them have fathers and  sons together, The neighbour and his friend do perish. 
24O 006:022 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, a people hath come from a north  country, And a great nation is stirred up from the sides of the  earth. 
24O 006:023 Bow and javelin they take hold of, Fierce it [is], and they  have no mercy, Their voice as a sea doth sound, And on horses  they ride, set in array as a man of war, Against thee, O  daughter of Zion. 
24O 006:024 `We have heard its sound, feeble have been our hands,  Distress hath seized us, pain as of a travailing woman. 
24O 006:025 Go not forth to the field, And in the way walk not, For a  sword hath the enemy, fear [is] round about. 
24O 006:026 O daughter of My people, Gird on sackcloth, and roll  thyself in ashes, The mourning of an only one make for thee, A  lamentation most bitter, For suddenly come doth the spoiler  against us. 
24O 006:027 A watch-tower I have given thee, Among My people a  fortress, And thou knowest, and hast tried their way. 
24O 006:028 All of them are turned aside by apostates, Walking  slanderously -- brass and iron, All of them are corrupters. 
24O 006:029 The bellows have been burnt, By fire hath the lead been  consumed, In vain hath a refiner refined, And the wicked have  not been drawn away. 
24O 006:030 `Silver rejected,' they have called to them, For Jehovah  hath kicked against them! 
24O 007:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, 
24O 007:002 Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast  proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of  Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to  bow before Jehovah: 
24O 007:003 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways,  and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place. 
24O 007:004 Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood,  saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The  temple of Jehovah [are] they! 
24O 007:005 For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If  ye do judgment thoroughly Between a man and his neighbour, 
24O 007:006 Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And  innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods  do not walk, for evil to yourselves, 
24O 007:007 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land  that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age. 
24O 007:008 Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of  falsehood, so as not to profit. 
24O 007:009 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing  to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other  gods whom ye knew not. 
24O 007:010 And ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on  which My name is called, And have said, `We have been  delivered,' In order to do all these abominations. 
24O 007:011 A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is  called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 007:012 But go ye, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh,  Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I  have done to it, For the wickedness of My people Israel. 
24O 007:013 And now, because of your doing all these works, An  affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and  speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye  have not answered, 
24O 007:014 I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye  are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your  fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh. 
24O 007:015 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out  all your brethren, The whole seed of Ephraim. 
24O 007:016 And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for  them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee  not. 
24O 007:017 Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah,  and in streets of Jerusalem? 
24O 007:018 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing  the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make  cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to  other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger. 
24O 007:019 Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah,  Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces? 
24O 007:020 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and  My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on  tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath  burned, and it is not quenched. 
24O 007:021 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your  burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye flesh. 
24O 007:022 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command  them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt,  Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice, 
24O 007:023 But this thing I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My  voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye -- ye are to Me  for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command  you, So that it is well for you. 
24O 007:024 And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And  they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil  heart, And are for backward, and not for forward. 
24O 007:025 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of  Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the  prophets, Daily rising early and sending, 
24O 007:026 And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their  ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their  fathers. 
24O 007:027 And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do  not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they  do not answer thee. 
24O 007:028 And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that  hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have  they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it  hath been cut off from their mouth. 
24O 007:029 Cut off thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high  places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth  the generation of His wrath. 
24O 007:030 For the sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine  eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their  abominations in the house On which My name is called -- to  defile it, 
24O 007:031 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the  valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their  daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come  up on My heart. 
24O 007:032 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And it is not said any more, `The Tophet,' And `Valley of the  son of Hinnom,' But `Valley of the slaughter,' And they have  buried in Tophet -- without place. 
24O 007:033 And the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl  of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none  troubling. 
24O 007:034 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from  streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of  gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land  doth become a desolation! 
24O 008:001 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, They bring the  bones of the kings of Judah, And the bones of its princes, And  the bones of the priests, And the bones of the prophets, And  the bones of inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves, 
24O 008:002 And have spread them to sun, and to moon, And to all the  host of the heavens, that they have loved, And that they have  served, And that they have walked after, And that they have  sought, And to which they have bowed themselves, They are not  gathered, nor buried, They are for dung on the face of the  ground. 
24O 008:003 And chosen is death rather than life By all the remnant who  are left of this evil family, In all the remaining places,  whither I have driven them, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 
24O 008:004 And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, Do they  fall, and not rise? Doth he turn back, and not return? 
24O 008:005 Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem Turned back -- a  perpetual backsliding? They have kept hold on deceit, They have  refused to turn back. 
24O 008:006 I have given attention, yea, I hearken, They do not speak  right, No man hath repented of his wickedness, Saying, What  have I done? Every one hath turned to his courses, As a horse  is rushing into battle. 
24O 008:007 Even a stork in the heavens hath known her seasons, And  turtle, and swallow, and crane, Have watched the time of their  coming, And -- My people have not known the judgment of  Jehovah. 
24O 008:008 How do ye say, We [are] wise, And the law of Jehovah [is]  with us? Surely, lo, falsely it hath wrought, The false pen of  scribes. 
24O 008:009 Ashamed have been the wise, They have been affrighted, and  are captured, Lo, against a word of Jehovah they kicked, And  the wisdom of what -- have they? 
24O 008:010 Therefore, I give their wives to others, Their fields to  dispossessors, For from the least even unto the greatest, Every  one is gaining dishonest gain, From prophet even unto priest,  every one is dealing falsely. 
24O 008:011 And they heal the breach of the daughter of my people  slightly, Saying, Peace, peace! and there is no peace. 
24O 008:012 They were ashamed when they did abomination! Yea, they are  not at all ashamed, And blushing they have not known,  Therefore, they do fall among falling ones, In the time of  their inspection they stumble, said Jehovah. 
24O 008:013 I utterly consume them, an affirmation of Jehovah, There  are no grapes in the vine, Yea, there are no figs in the  fig-tree, And the leaf hath faded, And the strength they have  passeth from them. 
24O 008:014 Wherefore are we sitting still? Be gathered, and we go in  to the fenced cities, And we are silent there, For Jehovah our  God hath made us silent, Yea, He causeth us to drink water of  gall, For we have sinned against Jehovah. 
24O 008:015 Looking for peace -- and there is no good, For a time of  healing, and lo, terror. 
24O 008:016 From Dan hath been heard the snorting of his horses, From  the voice of the neighings of his mighty ones, Trembled hath  all the land, And they come in and consume the land and its  fulness, The city and the inhabitants in it. 
24O 008:017 For, lo, I am sending among you serpents, Vipers that have  no charmer, And they have bitten you, an affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 008:018 My refreshing for me [is] sorrow, For me my heart [is]  sick. 
24O 008:019 Lo, the voice of a cry of the daughter of my people from a  land afar off, Is Jehovah not in Zion? is her king not in her?  Wherefore have they provoked Me with their graven images, With  the vanities of a foreigner? 
24O 008:020 Harvest hath passed, summer hath ended, And we -- we have  not been saved. 
24O 008:021 For a breach of the daughter of my people have I been  broken, I have been black, astonishment hath seized me. 
24O 008:022 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?  For wherefore hath not the health of the daughter of my people  gone up? 
24O 009:001 Who doth make my head waters, And mine eye a fountain of  tears? And I weep by day and by night, For the wounded of the  daughter of my people. 
24O 009:002 Who doth give me in a wilderness A lodging-place of  travellers? And I leave my people, and go from them, For all of  them [are] adulterers, An assembly of treacherous ones. 
24O 009:003 And they bend their tongue, their bow [is] a lie, And not  for stedfastness have they been mighty in the land, For from  evil unto evil they have gone forth, And Me they have not  known, An affirmation of Jehovah! 
24O 009:004 Each of his friend -- beware ye, And on any brother, do not  trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every  friend slanderously doth walk, 
24O 009:005 And each at his friend they mock, And truth they do not  speak, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, To commit  iniquity they have laboured. 
24O 009:006 thy dwelling [is] in the midst of deceit, Through deceit  they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 009:007 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am refining  them, and have tried them, For how do I do because of the  daughter of My people? 
24O 009:008 A slaughtering arrow [is] their tongue, Deceit it hath  spoken in its mouth, Peace with its neighbour it speaketh, And  in its heart it layeth its ambush, 
24O 009:009 For these things do not I see after them? An affirmation of  Jehovah, Against a nation such as this doth not My soul avenge  itself? 
24O 009:010 For the mountains I lift up weeping and wailing, And for  the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, For they have  been burnt up without any passing over, Nor have they heard the  voice of cattle, From the fowl of the heavens unto the beast  they have fled, they have gone. 
24O 009:011 And I make Jerusalem become heaps, A habitation of dragons,  And the cities of Judah I make a desolation, Without  inhabitant. 
24O 009:012 Who [is] the wise man? and he understandeth this, And he to  whom the mouth of Jehovah spake? And he doth declare it, For  what hath the land perished? It hath been burnt up as a  wilderness, Without any passing through. 
24O 009:013 And Jehovah saith: Because of their forsaking My law that I  set before them, And they have not hearkened to My voice nor  walked in it, 
24O 009:014 And they walk after the stubbornness of their heart, And  after the Baalim, that their fathers taught them, 
24O 009:015 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I  am causing them -- this people -- to eat wormwood, And I have  caused them to drink water of gall, 
24O 009:016 And I have scattered them among nations Which they knew  not, they and their fathers, And have sent after them the  sword, Till I have consumed them. 
24O 009:017 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Consider ye, and call for  mourning women, And they come, And to the wise women send, and  they come, 
24O 009:018 And they hasten, and lift up for us a wailing. And run down  our eyes do tears, And from our eyelids do waters flow. 
24O 009:019 For -- a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: How have we  been spoiled! We have been greatly ashamed, Because we have  forsaken the land, Because they have cast down our tabernacles. 
24O 009:020 But hear, ye women, a word of Jehovah, And your ear  receiveth a word of His mouth, And teach ye your daughters  wailing, and each her neighbour lamentation. 
24O 009:021 For death hath come up into our windows, It hath come into  our palaces, To cut off the suckling from without, Young men  from the broad places. 
24O 009:022 Speak thus -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And fallen hath  the carcase of man, As dung on the face of the field, And as a  handful after the reaper, And there is none gathering. 
24O 009:023 Thus said Jehovah: Let not the wise boast himself in his  wisdom, Nor let the mighty boast himself in his might, Let not  the rich boast himself in his riches, 
24O 009:024 But -- in this let the boaster boast himself, In  understanding and knowing Me, For I [am] Jehovah, doing  kindness, Judgment, and righteousness, in the earth, For in  these I have delighted, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 009:025 Lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And I  have laid a charge on all circumcised in the foreskin, 
24O 009:026 On Egypt, and on Judah, and on Edom, And on the sons of  Ammon, and on Moab, And on all cutting the corner [of the  beard], Who are dwelling in the wilderness, For all the nations  [are] uncircumcised, And all the house of Israel [are]  uncircumcised in heart! 
24O 010:001 Hear ye the word, O house of Israel, That Jehovah hath  spoken for you. 
24O 010:002 Thus said Jehovah: Unto the way of the nations accustom not  yourselves, And by the signs of the heavens be not affrighted,  For the nations are affrighted by them. 
24O 010:003 For the statutes of the peoples are vanity, For a tree from  a forest hath one cut, Work of the hands of an artificer, with  an axe, 
24O 010:004 With silver and with gold they beautify it, With nails and  with hammers they fix it, And it doth not stumble. 
24O 010:005 As a palm they [are] stiff, and they speak not, They are  surely borne, for they step not, Be not afraid of them, for  they do no evil, Yea, also to do good is not in them. 
24O 010:006 Because there is none like Thee, O Jehovah, Great [art]  Thou, and great Thy name in might. 
24O 010:007 Who doth not fear Thee, king of the nations? For to Thee it  is becoming, For among all the wise of the nations, And in all  their kingdom there is none like Thee. 
24O 010:008 And in one they are brutish and foolish, An instruction of  vanities [is] the tree itself. 
24O 010:009 Spread-out silver from Tarshish is brought, And gold from  Uphaz, Work of an artizan, and of the hands of a refiner, Blue  and purple [is] their clothing, Work of the skilful -- all of  them. 
24O 010:010 And Jehovah [is] a God of truth, He [is] a living God, and  a king age-during, From His wrath shake doth the earth, And  nations endure not His indignation. 
24O 010:011 Thus do ye say to them, The gods Who the heavens and earth  have not made, They do perish from the earth, And from under  these heavens. 
24O 010:012 The maker of the earth by His power, The establisher of  the world by His wisdom, Who, by His understanding, stretched  forth the heavens, 
24O 010:013 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [is]  in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end  of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And bringeth  out wind from His treasures. 
24O 010:014 Brutish is every man by knowledge, Put to shame is every  refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his molten image. And  there is no breath in them. 
24O 010:015 Vanity [are] they, work of erring ones, In the time of  their inspection they perish. 
24O 010:016 Not like these [is] the Portion of Jacob, For framer of  all things [is] He, And Israel [is] the rod of His inheritance,  Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
24O 010:017 Gather from the land thy merchandise, O dweller in the  bulwark, 
24O 010:018 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am slinging out the  inhabitants of the land at this time, And have been an  adversary to them, So that they are found out. 
24O 010:019 Wo to me for my breaking, Grievious hath been my smiting,  And I said, Only, this [is] my sickness, and I bear it. 
24O 010:020 My tent hath been spoiled, And all my cords have been  broken, My sons have gone out from me, and they are not, There  is none stretching out any more my tent, And raising up my  curtains. 
24O 010:021 For the shepherds have become brutish, And Jehovah they  have not sought, Therefore they have not acted wisely, And all  their flock is scattered. 
24O 010:022 A voice of a report, lo, it hath come, Even a great  shaking from the north country, To make the cities of Judah a  desolation, A habitation of dragons. 
24O 010:023 I have known, O Jehovah, that not of man [is] his way, Not  of man the going and establishing of his step. 
24O 010:024 Chastise me, O Jehovah, only in judgment, Not in Thine  anger, lest Thou make me small. 
24O 010:025 Pour out Thy fury on the nations that have not known Thee,  And on the families that have not called in Thy name, For they  have eaten up Jacob, Yea, they have eaten him up, yea, they  consume him, And his habitation they have made desolate! 
24O 011:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: 
24O 011:002 `Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken  unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 
24O 011:003 and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of  Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this  covenant, 
24O 011:004 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing  them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace,  saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According  to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people,  And I am to you for God, 
24O 011:005 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your  fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as  this day. And I answer and say, `Amen, O Jehovah.' 
24O 011:006 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Proclaim all these words in the  cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear  ye the words of this covenant, And ye have done them. 
24O 011:007 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day  of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt -- till this  day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice, 
24O 011:008 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And  they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I  bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded  to do, and they did not.' 
24O 011:009 And Jehovah saith unto me: `A conspiracy is found in the  men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
24O 011:010 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first  fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after  other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of  Judah, Have made void My covenant, that I made with their  fathers. 
24O 011:011 Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto  them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have  cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them. 
24O 011:012 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have  gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are  making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In  the time of their vexation. 
24O 011:013 For -- the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O  Judah, And -- the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have  placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to  Baal. 
24O 011:014 And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost  thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in  the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation. 
24O 011:015 What -- to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness  with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou  dost evil, then thou exultest. 
24O 011:016 `An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah  called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled  fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches. 
24O 011:017 And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken  evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and  of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To  provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal. 
24O 011:018 And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou  hast showed me their doings. 
24O 011:019 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I  have not known That against me they have devised devices: We  destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land  of the living, And his name is not remembered again. 
24O 011:020 And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying  reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto  Thee I have revealed my cause.' 
24O 011:021 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of  Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in  the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands. 
24O 011:022 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: `Lo, I am seeing  after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their  daughters die by famine, 
24O 011:023 And they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of  Anathoth, The year of their inspection!' 
24O 012:001 Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee,  Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of  the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers. 
24O 012:002 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go  on, yea, they have made fruit, Near [art] Thou in their mouth,  And far off from their reins. 
24O 012:003 And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and  hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to  slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter. 
24O 012:004 Till when doth the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole  field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it,  Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He doth  not see our latter end.' 
24O 012:005 For -- with footmen thou hast run, And they weary thee, And  how dost thou fret thyself with horses! Even in the land of  peace, [In which] thou art confident -- And how dost thou in  the rising of Jordan! 
24O 012:006 For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even  they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they -- they called  after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee  good things. 
24O 012:007 I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I  have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies. 
24O 012:008 Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest, She  gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated  her. 
24O 012:009 A speckled fowl [is] Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl  round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the  field, Come ye for food. 
24O 012:010 Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden  down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a  wilderness -- a desolation. 
24O 012:011 He hath made it become a desolation, The desolation hath  mourned unto Me, Desolated hath been all the land, But there is  no one laying it to heart. 
24O 012:012 On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For  the sword of Jehovah is consuming, From the end of the land  even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh. 
24O 012:013 They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become  sick -- they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your  increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah. 
24O 012:014 Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours, who  are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people --  Israel -- to inherit: `Lo, I am plucking them from off their  ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst. 
24O 012:015 And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back,  and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his  inheritance, and each to his land. 
24O 012:016 And it hath come to pass, If they learn well the ways of  My people, To swear by My name, `Jehovah liveth,' As they  taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up  in the midst of My people. 
24O 012:017 And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that  nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Jehovah!' 
24O 013:001 Thus said Jehovah unto me, `Go, and thou hast got for thee  a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into  water thou dost not cause it to enter:' 
24O 013:002 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and  I place [it] on my loins. 
24O 013:003 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time,  saying, 
24O 013:004 `Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy  loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of  the rock; 
24O 013:005 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me. 
24O 013:006 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that  Jehovah saith unto me, `Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the  girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;' 
24O 013:007 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the  place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred,  it is not profitable for anything. 
24O 013:008 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Thus said  Jehovah: 
24O 013:009 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great  excellency of Jerusalem. 
24O 013:010 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in  the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to  serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is -- as this  girdle, that is not profitable for anything. 
24O 013:011 For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I  caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the  whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me  for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty,  And they have not hearkened. 
24O 013:012 And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah,  God of Israel, `Every bottle is full of wine,' And they have  said unto thee: `Do we not certainly know that every bottle is  full of wine?' 
24O 013:013 And thou hast said unto them, `Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am  filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit  for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And  all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness, 
24O 013:014 And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers  and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not  pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them. 
24O 013:015 Hear, and give ear -- be not haughty, For Jehovah hath  spoken. 
24O 013:016 Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause  darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And  ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade,  And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness. 
24O 013:017 And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul  weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear  cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken  captive. 
24O 013:018 Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low  -- sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown  of your beauty. 
24O 013:019 The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is  none opening, Judah hath been removed -- all of her, She hath  been removed completely -- 
24O 013:020 Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north,  Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock? 
24O 013:021 What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou  -- thou hast taught them [to be] over thee -- leaders for head?  Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman? 
24O 013:022 And when thou dost say in thy heart, `Wherefore have these  met me?' For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts  been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence. 
24O 013:023 Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots?  Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil. 
24O 013:024 And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of  the wilderness. 
24O 013:025 This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me --  an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And  dost trust in falsehood. 
24O 013:026 I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy  shame hath been seen. 
24O 013:027 Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy  whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine  abominations. Wo to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed,  after when [is it] again? 
24O 014:001 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah  concerning the matters of the dearths: 
24O 014:002 Mourned hath Judah, and her gates have languished, They  have mourned to the earth, And the cry of Jerusalem hath gone  up. 
24O 014:003 And their honourable ones have sent their little ones to  the water, They have come unto ditches, They have not found  water, They have turned back -- their vessels empty! They have  been ashamed, And have blushed and covered their head. 
24O 014:004 Because the ground hath been broken, For there hath been no  rain in the land, Ashamed have been husbandmen, They have  covered their head. 
24O 014:005 For even the hind in the field hath brought forth -- to  forsake [it!] For there hath been no grass. 
24O 014:006 And wild asses have stood on high places, They have  swallowed up wind like dragons, Consumed have been their eyes,  for there is no herb. 
24O 014:007 Surely our iniquities have testified against us, O Jehovah,  work for Thy name's sake, For many have been our backslidings,  Against Thee we have sinned. 
24O 014:008 O Hope of Israel -- its saviour in time of trouble, Why art  Thou as a sojourner in the land? And as a traveller turned  aside to lodge? 
24O 014:009 Why art Thou as one dumb? As a mighty one not able to save?  And Thou [art] in our midst, O Jehovah, And Thy name over us is  called, leave us not. 
24O 014:010 Thus said Jehovah concerning this people: Well they have  loved to wander, Their feet they have not restrained, And  Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their  iniquity, And inspect their sin. 
24O 014:011 And Jehovah saith unto me: Thou dost not pray for this  people for good, 
24O 014:012 When they fast, I hearken not unto their cry, And when  they cause to ascend burnt-offering and present, I accept them  not, For by sword, and by famine, And by pestilence, I am  consuming them. 
24O 014:013 And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, Lo, the prophets are saying  to them: Ye do not see a sword, yea, famine is not to you, For  true peace I give to you in this place.' 
24O 014:014 And Jehovah saith unto me: Falsehood the prophets are  prophesying in My name, I did not send them, nor command them,  Nor have I spoken unto them: A false vision, and divination,  and vanity, And the deceit of their own heart, they are  prophesying to you. 
24O 014:015 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets who  are prophesying in My name, and I have not sent them, and they  are saying, Sword and famine is not in this land: By sword and  by famine are these prophets consumed. 
24O 014:016 And the people to whom they are prophesying, Are cast into  out-places of Jerusalem, Because of the famine, and of the  sword, And they have none burying them, Them, their wives, and  their sons, and their daughters, And I have poured out upon  them this evil. 
24O 014:017 And thou hast said unto them this word: Tears come down  mine eyes night and day, And they do not cease, For, [with] a  great breach, Broken hath been the virgin daughter of my  people, A very grievous stroke. 
24O 014:018 If I have gone forth to the field, Then, lo, the pierced  of the sword! And if I have entered the city, Then, lo, the  diseased of famine! For both prophet and priest have gone up  and down Unto a land that they knew not. 
24O 014:019 Hast Thou utterly rejected Judah? Zion hath Thy soul  loathed? Wherefore hast Thou smitten us, And there is no  healing to us? Looking for peace, and there is no good, And for  a time of healing, and lo, terror. 
24O 014:020 We have known, O Jehovah, our wickedness, The iniquity of  our fathers, For we have sinned against Thee. 
24O 014:021 Do not despise, for Thy name's sake, Dishonour not the  throne of Thine honour, Remember, break not Thy covenant with  us. 
24O 014:022 Are there among the vanities of the nations any causing  rain? And do the heavens give showers? Art not Thou He, O  Jehovah our God? And we wait for thee, for Thou -- Thou hast  done all these! 
24O 015:001 And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should  stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from  before My face, and they go out. 
24O 015:002 And it hath come to pass, when they say to thee, Whither do  we go out? that thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah:  Those who [are] for death -- to death, And those who are for  the sword, to the sword, And those who are for famine, to  famine, And those who are for captivity, to captivity. 
24O 015:003 And I have appointed over them four kinds, an affirmation  of Jehovah, The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the  fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and  to devour. 
24O 015:004 And I have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of  the earth, Because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah,  For that which he did in Jerusalem. 
24O 015:005 For who hath pity on thee, O Jerusalem? And who doth bemoan  for thee? And who turneth aside to ask of thy welfare? 
24O 015:006 Thou -- thou hast left Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah,  Backward thou goest, And I stretch out My hand against thee,  And I destroy thee, I have been weary of repenting, 
24O 015:007 And I scatter them with a fan, in the gates the land, I  bereaved, I have destroyed My people, From their ways they  turned not back. 
24O 015:008 Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas,  I brought in to them -- against the mother -- A young man -- a  spoiler -- at noon. I caused to fall upon her suddenly, wrath  and trouble. 
24O 015:009 Languished hath the bearer of seven, She hath breathed out  her spirit, Gone in hath her sun while yet day, It hath been  ashamed and confounded, And their residue to the sword I give  up before their enemies, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 015:010 Wo to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of  strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not  lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me -- All of them  are reviling me. 
24O 015:011 Jehovah said, Did I not direct thee for good? Did not I  intercede for thee in a time of evil, And in a time of  adversity, with the enemy? 
24O 015:012 Doth one break iron -- northern iron, and brass? 
24O 015:013 Thy strength and thy treasures For a prey I do give -- not  for price, Even for all thy sins, and in all thy borders. 
24O 015:014 And I have caused thine enemies To pass over into the land  -- Thou hast not known, For a fire hath been kindled in Mine  anger, Against you it doth burn. 
24O 015:015 Thou, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect  me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy  long-suffering take me not away, Know -- I have borne for Thee  reproach. 
24O 015:016 Thy words have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is  to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy  name is called on me, O Jehovah, God of Hosts. 
24O 015:017 I have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult,  because of thy hand, -- Alone I have sat, For [with]  indignation Thou hast filled me. 
24O 015:018 Why hath my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable?  It hath refused to be healed, Thou art surely to me as a  failing stream, Waters not stedfast. 
24O 015:019 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: If thou turnest back, then I  bring thee back, Before Me thou dost stand, And if thou  bringest out the precious from the vile, As My mouth thou art!  They -- they turn back unto thee, And thou dost not turn back  unto them. 
24O 015:020 And I have made thee to this people For a wall -- brazen  -- fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not  prevail against thee, For with thee [am] I to save thee, And to  deliver thee -- an affirmation of Jehovah, 
24O 015:021 And I have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And  I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible! 
24O 016:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
24O 016:002 Thou dost not take to thee a wife, Nor hast thou sons and  daughters in this place. 
24O 016:003 For thus said Jehovah, Of the sons and of the daughters who  are born in this place, And of their mothers -- those bearing  them, And of their fathers -- those begetting them in this  land: 
24O 016:004 Of painful deaths they die, They are not lamented, nor are  they buried, For dung on the face of the ground they are, And  by sword and by famine are consumed, And their carcase hath  been for food To the fowl of the heavens, And to the beast of  the earth. 
24O 016:005 For thus said Jehovah: Do not enter the house of a  mourning-feast, Nor go to lament nor bemoan for them, For I  have removed My peace from this people, An affirmation of  Jehovah, The kindness and the mercies. 
24O 016:006 And died have great and small in this land, They are not  buried, and none lament for them, Nor doth any cut himself, nor  become bald for them. 
24O 016:007 Nor do they deal out to them for mourning, To comfort him  concerning the dead, Nor cause them to drink a cup of  consolations For his father and for his mother. 
24O 016:008 A house of banqueting thou dost not enter, To sit with  them, to eat and to drink, 
24O 016:009 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am  causing to cease from this place, Before your eyes, and in your  days, The voice of joy, and the voice of rejoicing, The voice  of bridegroom and voice of bride. 
24O 016:010 And it hath come to pass when thou declarest to this  people all these words, and they have said unto thee, `For what  hath Jehovah spoken against us all this great evil? yea, what  [is] our iniquity, and what our sin, that we have sinned  against Jehovah our God?' 
24O 016:011 Then thou hast said unto them: Because that your fathers  have forsaken Me, An affirmation of Jehovah, And go after other  gods, and serve them, And they bow themselves to them, And Me  have forsaken, and My law not kept, 
24O 016:012 Ye also have done evil above your fathers, And lo, ye are  walking each after the stubbornness of his evil heart, So as  not to hearken unto Me. 
24O 016:013 And I have cast you from off this land, On to a land that  ye have not known, Ye and your fathers, And ye have served  there other gods by day and by night, Where I do not give to  you grace. 
24O 016:014 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And it is not said any more: `Jehovah liveth, who brought up  The sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt,' 
24O 016:015 But, `Jehovah liveth, who brought up The sons of Israel  out of the land of the north, And out of all the lands whither  He drove them,' And I have brought them back to their land,  That I gave to their fathers. 
24O 016:016 Lo, I am sending for many fishers, An affirmation of  Jehovah, And they have fished them, And after this I send for  many hunters, And they have hunted them from off every  mountain, And from off every hill, and from holes of the rocks. 
24O 016:017 For Mine eyes [are] upon all their ways, They have not  been hidden from My face, Nor hath their iniquity been  concealed from before Mine eyes. 
24O 016:018 And I have recompensed a first -- A second time -- their  iniquity and their sin, Because of their polluting My land,  With the carcase of their detestable things, Yea, their  abominable things have filled Mine inheritance. 
24O 016:019 O Jehovah, my strength, and my fortress, And my refuge in  a day of adversity, Unto Thee nations do come from the ends of  earth, And say, Only falsehood did our fathers inherit, Vanity,  and none among them is profitable. 
24O 016:020 Doth man make for himself gods, And they -- no gods? 
24O 016:021 Therefore, lo, I am causing them to know at this time, I  cause them to know My hand and My might, And they have known  that My name [is] Jehovah! 
24O 017:001 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, With the  point of a diamond, Graven on the tablet of their heart, And on  the horns of your altars, 
24O 017:002 As their sons remember their altars and their shrines, By  the green tree, by the high hills. 
24O 017:003 O My mountain in the field -- thy strength, All thy  treasures -- for a prey I give, Thy high places for sin in all  thy borders. 
24O 017:004 And thou hast let go -- even through thyself, Of thine  inheritance that I gave to thee, And I have caused thee to  serve thine enemies, In a land that thou hast not known, For a  fire ye have kindled in Mine anger, Unto the age it doth burn. 
24O 017:005 Thus said Jehovah: Cursed [is] the man who doth trust in  man, And hath made flesh his arm, And from Jehovah whose heart  turneth. 
24O 017:006 And he hath been as a naked thing in a desert, And doth not  see when good cometh, And hath inhabited parched places in a  wilderness, A salt land, and not inhabited. 
24O 017:007 Blessed [is] the man who trusteth in Jehovah, And whose  confidence hath been Jehovah. 
24O 017:008 And hath been as a tree planted by waters, And by a rivulet  he sendeth forth his roots, And he doth not see when heat  cometh, And his leaf hath been green, And in a year of dearth  he is not sorrowful, Nor doth he cease from making fruit. 
24O 017:009 Crooked [is] the heart above all things, And it [is]  incurable -- who doth know it? 
24O 017:010 I Jehovah do search the heart, try the reins, Even to give  to each according to his way, According to the fruit of his  doings. 
24O 017:011 A partridge hatching, and not bringing forth, [Is] one  making wealth, and not by right, In the midst of his days he  doth forsake it, And in his latter end -- he is a fool. 
24O 017:012 A throne of honour on high from the beginning, The place  of our sanctuary, 
24O 017:013 The hope of Israel [is] Jehovah, All forsaking Thee are  ashamed, And `My apostates' in the earth are written, For they  have forsaken Jehovah, A fountain of living waters. 
24O 017:014 Heal me, O Jehovah, and I am healed, Save me, and I am  saved, for my praise [art] Thou. 
24O 017:015 Lo, they are saying unto me: `Where [is] the word of  Jehovah? pray, let it come.' 
24O 017:016 And I hastened not from feeding after Thee, And the  desperate day I have not desired, Thou -- Thou hast known, The  produce of my lips, before Thy face it hath been, 
24O 017:017 Be not Thou to me for a terror, My hope [art] Thou in a  day of evil. 
24O 017:018 Let my pursuers be ashamed, and let not me be ashamed --  me! Let them be affrighted, and let not me be affrighted -- me!  Bring in on them a day of evil, And a second time [with]  destruction destroy them. 
24O 017:019 Thus said Jehovah unto me: `Go, and thou hast stood in the  gate of the sons of the people, by which kings of Judah come  in, and by which they go out, and in all gates of Jerusalem, 
24O 017:020 and thou hast said unto them: Hear a word of Jehovah, ye  kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all inhabitants of  Jerusalem, who are coming in by these gates, 
24O 017:021 Thus said Jehovah, Take ye heed to yourselves, And ye bear  not a burden on the day of rest, Nor have ye brought [it] in by  the gates of Jerusalem. 
24O 017:022 Nor do ye take out a burden from your houses on the day of  rest, Yea, any work ye do not do, And ye have sanctified the  day of rest, As I have commanded your fathers. 
24O 017:023 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And  they stiffen their neck not to hear, And not to receive  instruction. 
24O 017:024 And it hath been, if ye certainly hearken unto Me, An  affirmation of Jehovah, So as not to bring in a burden By the  gates of this city on the day of rest, And to sanctify the day  of rest, So as not to do in it any work -- 
24O 017:025 Then entered by the gates of this city have kings and  princes, Sitting on the throne of David, Riding in a chariot,  and on horses, They, and their princes, the man of Judah, And  inhabitants of Jerusalem, And this city hath remained to the  age. 
24O 017:026 And they have come in from cities of Judah, And from  suburbs of Jerusalem, And from the land of Benjamin, And from  the low country, And from the hill-country, and from the south,  Bringing in burnt-offering, and sacrifice, And present, and  frankincense, And bringing praise [to] the house of Jehovah. 
24O 017:027 And if ye do not hearken unto me to sanctify the day of  rest, And so as not to bear a burden, And to come in at the  gates of Jerusalem on the day of rest, Then I have kindled a  fire in its gates, And it hath consumed the high places of  Jerusalem, And it is not quenched!' 
24O 018:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, 
24O 018:002 Rise, and thou hast gone down [to] the potter's house, and  there I cause thee to hear My words; 
24O 018:003 and I go down [to] the potter's house, and lo, he is doing  a work on the stones, 
24O 018:004 and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the  hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another  vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make. 
24O 018:005 And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying: 
24O 018:006 As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of  Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of  the potter, So [are] ye in My hand, O house of Israel. 
24O 018:007 The moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning a  kingdom, To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy, 
24O 018:008 And that nation hath turned from its evil, Because I have  spoken against it, Then I have repented of the evil that I  thought to do to it. 
24O 018:009 And the moment I speak concerning a nation, And concerning  a kingdom, to build, and to plant, 
24O 018:010 And it hath done the evil thing in Mine eyes, So as not to  hearken to My voice, Then I have repented of the good That I  have spoken of doing to it. 
24O 018:011 And now, speak, I pray thee, unto men of Judah, And  against inhabitants of Jerusalem, Saying: Thus said Jehovah:  Lo, I am framing against you evil, And devising against you a  device, Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way And amen  your ways and your doings. 
24O 018:012 And they have said, It is incurable, For after our own  devices we do go, And each the stubbornness of his evil heart  we do. 
24O 018:013 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ask, I pray you, among the  nations, Who hath heard like these? A very horrible thing hath  the virgin of Israel done. 
24O 018:014 Doth snow of Lebanon Cease from the rock of the field?  Failed are the cold strange waters that flow? 
24O 018:015 But My people have forgotten Me, to a vain thing they make  perfume, And they cause them to stumble in their ways -- paths  of old, To walk in paths -- a way not raised up, 
24O 018:016 To make their land become a desolation, A hissing  age-during, Every passer by it is astonished, And bemoaneth  with his head. 
24O 018:017 As an east wind I scatter them before an enemy, The neck,  and not the face, I shew them, In the day of their calamity.' 
24O 018:018 And they say, Come, And we devise against Jeremiah  devices, For law doth not perish from the priest, Nor counsel  from the wise, Nor the word from the prophet, Come, and we  smite him with the tongue, And we do not attend to any of his  words. 
24O 018:019 Give attention, O Jehovah, unto me, And hearken to the  voice of those contending with me. 
24O 018:020 Is evil recompensed instead of good, That they have dug a  pit for my soul? Remember my standing before Thee to speak good  of them, To turn back Thy wrath from them. 
24O 018:021 Therefore, give up their sons to famine, And cause them to  run on the sides of the sword, And their wives are bereaved and  widows, And their men are slain by death, Their young men  smitten by sword in battle, 
24O 018:022 A cry is heard from their houses, For Thou bringest  against them suddenly a troop, For they dug a pit to capture  me, And snares they have hidden for my feet. 
24O 018:023 And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known, All their counsel  against me [is] for death, Thou dost not cover over their  iniquity, Nor their sin from before Thee blottest out, And they  are made to stumble before Thee, In the time of Thine anger  work against them! 
24O 019:001 Thus said Jehovah, `Go, and thou hast got a potter's  earthen vessel, and of the elders of the people, and of the  elders of the priests, 
24O 019:002 and thou hast gone forth unto the valley of the son of  Hinnom, that [is] at the opening of the gate of the pottery,  and hast proclaimed there the words that I speak unto thee, 
24O 019:003 and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah,  and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God  of Israel: `Lo, I am bringing in evil on this place, at which  the ears of every one who is hearing it do tingle, 
24O 019:004 because that they have forsaken Me, and make known this  place, and make perfume in it to other gods, that they knew  not, they and their fathers, and the kings of Judah, and they  have filled this place [with] innocent blood, 
24O 019:005 and have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons  with fire, burnt-offerings to Baal, that I commanded not, nor  spake of, nor did it come up on My heart. 
24O 019:006 `Therefore, lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of  Jehovah -- and this place is not called any more, Tophet, and  Valley of the son of Hinnom, but, Valley of slaughter. 
24O 019:007 And I have made void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in  this place, and have caused them to fall by the sword before  their enemies, and by the hand of those seeking their life, and  I have given their carcase for food to the fowl of the heavens,  and to the beast of the earth, 
24O 019:008 and I have made this city for a desolation, and for a  hissing, every passer by it is astonished, and doth hiss for  all its plagues. 
24O 019:009 And I have caused them to eat the flesh of their sons, and  the flesh of their daughters, and each the flesh of his friend  they do eat, in the siege and in the straitness with which  straiten them do their enemies, and those seeking their life. 
24O 019:010 `And thou hast broken the bottle before the eyes of the  men who are going with thee, 
24O 019:011 and hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Thus  do I break this people and this city, as one breaketh the  potter's vessel, that is not able to be repaired again, and in  Tophet they bury -- without place to bury; 
24O 019:012 so I do to this place -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and  to its inhabitants, so as to make this city as Tophet; 
24O 019:013 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings  of Judah, have been -- as the place of Tophet -- defiled, even  all the houses on whose roofs they have made perfume to all the  host of the heavens, so as to pour out oblations to other  gods.' 
24O 019:014 And Jeremiah cometh in from Tophet, whither Jehovah had  sent him to prophesy, and he standeth in the court of the house  of Jehovah, and he saith unto all the people: 
24O 019:015 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am  bringing in unto this city, and on all its cities, all the evil  that I have spoken against it, for they have hardened their  neck -- not to hear My words!' 
24O 020:001 And Pashhur son of Immer the priest -- who also [is]  overseer, leader in the house of Jehovah -- heareth Jeremiah  prophesying these things, 
24O 020:002 and Pashhur smiteth Jeremiah the prophet, and putteth him  unto the stocks, that [are] by the high gate of Benjamin, that  [is] by the house of Jehovah. 
24O 020:003 and it cometh to pass on the morrow, that Pashhur bringeth  out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah saith unto him, `Not  Pashhur hath Jehovah called thy name, but -- Magor-Missabib. 
24O 020:004 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am making thee for a fear to  thyself, And to all loving thee, And they have fallen by the  sword of their enemies, and thine eyes are beholding, And all  Judah I give into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he hath  removed them to Babylon, And he hath smitten them with the  sword. 
24O 020:005 And I have given all the strength of this city, And all its  labour, and all its precious things, Yea, all the treasures of  the kings of Judah I do give into the hand of their enemies,  And they have spoiled them, and taken them, And have brought  them into Babylon. 
24O 020:006 And thou, Pashhur, and all dwelling in thy house, Do go  into captivity. and Babylon thou dost enter, And there thou  diest, and there thou art buried, Thou and all loving thee, To  whom thou hast prophesied falsely.' 
24O 020:007 Thou hast persuaded me, O Jehovah, and I am persuaded; Thou  hast hardened me, and dost prevail, I have been for a laughter  all the day, Every one is mocking at me, 
24O 020:008 Because from the time I speak I cry out, `Violence and  destruction,' I cry, For the word of Jehovah hath been to me  For reproach and for derision all the day. 
24O 020:009 And I said, `I do not mention Him, Nor do I speak any more  in His name,' And it hath been in my heart As a burning fire  shut up in my bones, And I have been weary of containing, And I  am not able. 
24O 020:010 For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear [is] round  about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are  watching [for] my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we  prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.' 
24O 020:011 And Jehovah [is] with me, as a terrible mighty one,  Therefore my persecutors stumble and prevail not, They have  been exceedingly ashamed, For they have not acted wisely,  Confusion age-during is not forgotten. 
24O 020:012 And, O Jehovah of Hosts, trier of the righteous, Beholder  of reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance out of them, For  unto Thee I have revealed my cause. 
24O 020:013 Sing ye to Jehovah, praise Jehovah, For He hath delivered  the soul of the needy From the hand of evil doers. 
24O 020:014 Cursed [is] the day in which I was born, The day that my  mother bare me, Let it not be blessed! 
24O 020:015 Cursed [is] the man who bore tidings [to] my father,  saying, `Born to thee hath been a child -- a male,' Making him  very glad! 
24O 020:016 Then hath that man been as the cities, That Jehovah  overthrew, and repented not, And he hath heard a cry at  morning, And a shout at time of noon. 
24O 020:017 Because he hath not put me to death from the womb, And my  mother is to me -- my grave, And her womb a pregnancy  age-during. 
24O 020:018 Why [is] this? from the womb I have come out, To see  labour and sorrow, Yea, consumed in shame are my days! 
24O 021:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the  king Zedekiah's sending unto him Pashhur son of Malchiah, and  Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying, 
24O 021:002 `Inquire, we pray thee, for us at Jehovah, for  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath fought against us; perhaps  Jehovah doth deal with us according to all His wonders, and  doth cause him to go up from off us.' 
24O 021:003 And Jeremiah saith unto them, `Thus do ye say unto  Zedekiah, 
24O 021:004 Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Lo, I am turning round  the weapons of battle That [are] in your hand, With which ye do  fight the king of Babylon, And the Chaldeans, who are laying  siege against you, At the outside of the wall, And I have  gathered them into the midst of this city, 
24O 021:005 And I -- I have fought against you, With a stretched-out  hand, and with a strong arm, And in anger, and in fury, and in  great wrath, 
24O 021:006 And I have smitten the inhabitants of this city, Both man  and beast, By a great pestilence do they die. 
24O 021:007 And after this -- an affirmation of Jehovah, I give  Zedekiah king of Judah, And his servants, and the people, And  those left in this city, From the pestilence, from the sword,  and from the famine, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of  Babylon, And into the hand of their enemies, And into the hand  of those seeking their life, And he hath smitten them by the  mouth of the sword, He hath no pity on them, Nor doth he spare,  nor hath he mercy. 
24O 021:008 And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo,  I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death! 
24O 021:009 Whoso is abiding in this city -- dieth, By sword, and by  famine, and by pestilence, And whoso is going forth, And hath  fallen unto the Chaldeans, Who are laying siege against you --  liveth, And his life hath been to him for a spoil. 
24O 021:010 For I have set My face against this city for evil, And not  for good -- an affirmation of Jehovah. Into the hand of the  king of Babylon it is given, And he hath burned it with fire. 
24O 021:011 And as to the house of the king of Judah, Hear ye a word  of Jehovah; 
24O 021:012 O house of David, thus said Jehovah: Decide ye judgment at  morning, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the  oppressor, Lest My fury go forth as fire, And hath burned, and  none is quenching, Because of the evil of your doings. 
24O 021:013 Lo, I [am] against thee -- an affirmation of Jehovah, O  inhabitant of the valley, rock of the plain, Who are saying,  Who cometh down against us? And who cometh into our  habitations? 
24O 021:014 And I have laid a charge against you, According to the  fruit of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have  kindled a fire in its forest, And it hath consumed -- all its  suburbs! 
24O 022:001 Thus said Jehovah, `Go down [to] the house of the king of  Judah, and thou hast spoken there this word, and hast said, 
24O 022:002 Hear a word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who art sitting on  the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people,  who are coming in at these gates, 
24O 022:003 Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And  deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And  sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And  innocent blood ye do not shed in this place. 
24O 022:004 For, if ye certainly do this thing, Then come in by the  gates of this house Have kings sitting for David on his throne,  Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his  people. 
24O 022:005 And if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn  -- an affirmation of Jehovah, That this house is for a  desolation. 
24O 022:006 For thus said Jehovah, Concerning the house of the king of  Judah: Gilead [art] thou to Me -- head of Lebanon, If not -- I  make thee a wilderness, Cities not inhabited. 
24O 022:007 And I have separated for thee destroyers, Each with his  weapons, And they have cut down the choice of thy cedars, And  have cast them on the fire. 
24O 022:008 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have  said, each to his neighbour, For what hath Jehovah done thus to  this great city? 
24O 022:009 And they have said, `Because that they have forsaken The  covenant of Jehovah their God, And bow themselves to other  gods, and serve them.' 
24O 022:010 Ye do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep ye  sore for the traveller, For he doth not return again, Nor hath  he seen the land of his birth. 
24O 022:011 For thus said Jehovah concerning Shallum son of Josiah  king of Judah, who is reigning instead of Josiah his father,  who hath gone forth from this place: He doth not turn back  hither again; 
24O 022:012 For in the place whither they have removed him he dieth,  And this land he doth not see again. 
24O 022:013 Wo to him who is building his house by unrighteousness,  And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth  service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him. 
24O 022:014 Who is saying, `I build for myself a large house, And airy  upper chambers,' And he hath cut out for himself its windows,  Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermillion. 
24O 022:015 Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in  cedar? Thy father -- did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did  judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him. 
24O 022:016 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is]  well -- is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 022:017 But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy  dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on  oppression, and on doing of violence. 
24O 022:018 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of  Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my  brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord,  and Ah, his honour. 
24O 022:019 The burial of an ass -- he is buried, Dragged and cast out  thence to the gates of Jerusalem. 
24O 022:020 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And in Bashan give forth thy  voice, And cry from Abarim, For destroyed have been all loving  thee. 
24O 022:021 I have spoken unto thee in thine ease, Thou hast said, `I  do not hearken,' This [is] thy way from thy youth, For thou  hast not hearkened to My voice. 
24O 022:022 All thy friends consume doth wind, And thy lovers into  captivity do go, Surely then thou art ashamed, And hast blushed  for all thy wickedness. 
24O 022:023 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How  gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain -- as of  a travailing woman. 
24O 022:024 I live -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of  Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely  thence I draw thee away, 
24O 022:025 And I have given thee into the hand of those seeking thy  life, And into hands of which thou art afraid, Into the hand of  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the  Chaldeans. 
24O 022:026 And I have cast thee, And thy mother who bore thee, unto  another country, Where ye were not born, and there do ye die. 
24O 022:027 And to the land whither they are lifting up their soul to  return, Thither they do not return. 
24O 022:028 A grief -- a despised broken thing -- is this man Coniah?  A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Wherefore have they  been cast up and down, He and his seed, Yea, they were cast on  to a land that they knew not? 
24O 022:029 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of Jehovah, 
24O 022:030 Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man --  he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth  prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again in  Judah! 
24O 023:001 Wo to shepherds destroying, And scattering the flock of My  pasture, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:002 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Against the  shepherds who feed My people, Ye have scattered My flock, and  drive them away, And have not inspected them, Lo, I am charging  on you the evil of your doings, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:003 And I do gather the remnant of My flock Out of all the  lands whither I drove them, And have brought them back unto  their fold, And they have been fruitful, and multiplied. 
24O 023:004 And I have raised for them shepherds, And they have fed  them, And they fear no more, nor are affrighted, Nor are they  lacking -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:005 Lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And I  have raised to David a righteous shoot, And a king hath reigned  and acted wisely, And done judgment and righteousness in the  earth. 
24O 023:006 In his days is Judah saved, and Israel dwelleth  confidently, And this his name that Jehovah proclaimeth him,  `Our Righteousness.' 
24O 023:007 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And they do not say any more, Jehovah liveth who brought up The  sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, 
24O 023:008 But -- Jehovah liveth, who brought up, And who brought in,  the seed of the house of Israel, From the land of the north,  And from all the lands whither I drove them, And they have  dwelt on their own ground! 
24O 023:009 In reference to the prophets: Broken hath been my heart in  my midst, Fluttered have all my bones, I have been as a man --  a drunkard, And as a man -- wine hath passed over him, Because  of Jehovah, and of His holy words. 
24O 023:010 For of adulterers hath the land been full, For because of  these hath the land mourned, Dried up hath been the pleasant  places of the wilderness, And their course is evil, and their  might -- not right. 
24O 023:011 For both prophet and priest have been profane, Yea, in My  house I found their wickedness, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:012 Therefore is their way to them as slippery places, Into  thick darkness they are driven, And they have fallen in it, For  I bring in against them evil, The year of their inspection, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:013 And in prophets of Samaria I have seen folly, They have  prophesied by Baal, And cause my people -- Israel -- to err. 
24O 023:014 And in prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing,  Committing adultery, and walking falsely, Yea, they  strengthened the hands of evil doers, So that they have not  turned back Each from his wickedness, They have been to me --  all of them -- as Sodom, And its inhabitants as Gomorrah. 
24O 023:015 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, concerning the  prophets: Lo, I am causing them to eat wormwood, And have  caused them to drink water of gall, For, from prophets of  Jerusalem Hath profanity gone forth to all the land. 
24O 023:016 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Ye do not hearken unto the  words Of the prophets who are prophesying to you, They are  making you vain things, A vision of their own heart they speak,  Not from the mouth of Jehovah. 
24O 023:017 Saying diligently to those despising The word of Jehovah:  Peace is for you, And [to] every one walking in the  stubbornness of his heart they have said: Evil doth not come in  unto you. 
24O 023:018 For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah, And seeth  and heareth His word? Who hath regarded My word, and  hearkeneth? 
24O 023:019 Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah -- Fury hath gone out, even a  piercing whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth. 
24O 023:020 The anger of Jehovah doth not turn back Till His doing,  and till His establishing, The thoughts of His heart, In the  latter end of the days ye attend to it With understanding. 
24O 023:021 I have not sent the prophets, and they have run, I have  not spoken unto them, and they have prophesied. 
24O 023:022 But -- if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My  people to hear My words, And they turn them back from their  evil way, And from the evil of their doings. 
24O 023:023 A God near [am] I -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And not a  God afar off? 
24O 023:024 Is any one hidden in secret places, And I see him not? an  affirmation of Jehovah, Do not I fill the heavens and the  earth? An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:025 I have heard that which the prophets said, Who prophesy in  My name falsehood, saying, `I have dreamed, I have dreamed.' 
24O 023:026 Till when is it in the heart of the prophets? The prophets  of falsehood, Yea, prophets of the deceit of their heart, 
24O 023:027 Who are devising to cause My people To forget My name by  their dreams, That they recount each to his neighbour, As their  fathers forgot my name for Baal. 
24O 023:028 The prophet with whom [is] a dream, Let him recount the  dream, And he with whom [is] My word, Let him truly speak My  word. What -- to the straw with the corn? An affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 023:029 Is it not thus? My word [is] as a fire, An affirmation of  Jehovah. And as a hammer -- it breaketh in pieces a rock. 
24O 023:030 Therefore, lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation  of Jehovah, Stealing My words each from his neighbour. 
24O 023:031 Lo, I [am] against the prophets, An affirmation of  Jehovah, Who are making smooth their tongue, And they affirm --  an affirmation. 
24O 023:032 Lo, I [am] against the prophets of false dreams, An  affirmation of Jehovah, And they recount them, and cause my  people to err, By their falsehoods, and by their instability,  And I -- I have not sent them, Nor have I commanded them, And  they are not at all profitable to this people, An affirmation  of Jehovah. 
24O 023:033 And when this people, or the prophet, Or a priest, doth  ask thee, saying, What [is] the burden of Jehovah? Then thou  hast said unto them: Ye [are] the burden, and I have left you,  An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 023:034 And the prophet, and the priest, and the people, That  saith, The burden of Jehovah, I have seen after that man, and  after his house. 
24O 023:035 Thus do ye say each unto his neighbour, And each unto his  brother: What hath Jehovah answered? And what hath Jehovah  spoken? 
24O 023:036 And the burden of Jehovah ye do not mention any more, For  the burden to each is -- His word, And ye have overturned the  words of the living God, Jehovah of Hosts, our God. 
24O 023:037 Thus dost thou say unto the prophet What hath Jehovah  answered thee? And what hath Jehovah spoken? 
24O 023:038 And if the burden of Jehovah ye say, Therefore thus said  Jehovah: Because of your saying this word, The burden of  Jehovah, And I do send unto you, saying, Ye do not say, The  burden of Jehovah. 
24O 023:039 Therefore, lo, I -- I have taken you utterly away, And I  have sent you out, And the city that I gave to you, And to your  fathers, from before My face, 
24O 023:040 And I have put on you reproach age-during, And shame  age-during that is not forgotten! 
24O 024:001 Jehovah hath shewed me, and lo, two baskets of figs,  appointed before the temple of Jehovah, -- after the removing  by Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, of Jeconiah, son of  Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the heads of Judah, and the  artizan, and the smith, from Jerusalem, when he bringeth them  into Babylon -- 
24O 024:002 In the one basket [are] figs very good, like the first-ripe  figs, and in the other basket [are] figs very bad, that are not  eaten for badness. 
24O 024:003 And Jehovah saith unto me, `What art thou seeing,  Jeremiah?' and I say, `Figs, the good figs [are] very good, and  the bad [are] very bad, that are not eaten for badness.' 
24O 024:004 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
24O 024:005 Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Like these good figs so  do I acknowledge The removed of Judah -- that I sent from this  place, [To] the land of the Chaldeans -- for good. 
24O 024:006 And I have set Mine eyes on them for good, And have brought  them back to this land, And built them up, and I throw not  down, And have planted them, and pluck not up. 
24O 024:007 And have given to them a heart to know Me, For I [am]  Jehovah, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to  them for God, For they turned back unto Me with all their  heart. 
24O 024:008 And like the bad figs, that are not eaten for badness,  Surely thus said Jehovah: So do I make Zedekiah king of Judah,  And his heads, and the remnant of Jerusalem, Who are left in  this land, And who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, 
24O 024:009 And I have given them for a trembling, For evil -- to all  kingdoms of the earth, For a reproach, and for a simile, For a  byword, and for a reviling, In all the places whither I drive  them. 
24O 024:010 And I have sent against them the sword, The famine and the  pestilence, Till their consumption from off the ground, That I  gave to them and to their fathers! 
24O 025:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the  people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah  king of Judah, -- it [is] the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king  of Babylon, -- 
24O 025:002 Which Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken concerning all the  people of Judah, even unto all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,  saying: 
24O 025:003 `From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of  Judah, and unto this day -- this three and twentieth year --  hath the word of Jehovah been unto me, and I speak unto you,  rising early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened; 
24O 025:004 And Jehovah hath sent unto you all His servants, the  prophets, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,  nor inclined your ear to hear, saying: 
24O 025:005 `Turn back, I pray you, each from his evil way, and from  the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that Jehovah  hath given to you and to your fathers from age unto age, 
24O 025:006 And ye do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow  yourselves to them, nor do ye provoke Me to anger with the work  of your hands, and I do no evil to you; 
24O 025:007 And ye have not hearkened unto Me -- an affirmation of  Jehovah -- so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your  hands for evil to you. 
24O 025:008 `Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Because that ye have  not obeyed My words, 
24O 025:009 Lo, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the  north -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- even unto Nebuchadrezzar  king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against  this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these  nations round about, and have devoted them, and appointed them  for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for wastes  age-during. 
24O 025:010 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and  the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise  of millstones, and the light of lamps. 
24O 025:011 And all this land hath been for a waste, for an  astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon  seventy years. 
24O 025:012 `And it hath come to pass, at the fulness of seventy  years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that  nation -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- their iniquity, and  against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for  desolations age-during. 
24O 025:013 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I  have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, that  Jeremiah hath prophesied concerning all the nations. 
24O 025:014 For laid service on them -- also them -- have many nations  and great kings, and I have given recompence to them according  to their doing, and according to the work of their hands. 
24O 025:015 `For thus said Jehovah God of Israel unto me, Take the  wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and thou hast caused all  the nations to drink it unto whom I am sending thee; 
24O 025:016 And they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shewn  themselves foolish, because of the sword that I am sending  among them. 
24O 025:017 `And I take the cup out of the hand of Jehovah, and cause  all the nations to drink unto whom Jehovah sent me: 
24O 025:018 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its  heads, To give them to waste, to astonishment, To hissing, and  to reviling, as [at] this day. 
24O 025:019 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads,  and all his people, 
24O 025:020 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of  Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And  Ashkelon, and Gazzah, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod, 
24O 025:021 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon, 
24O 025:022 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Zidon, And  the kings of the isle that [is] beyond the sea, 
24O 025:023 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of  the beard], 
24O 025:024 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the  mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness, 
24O 025:025 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And  all the kings of Media, 
24O 025:026 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off,  one unto another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are]  on the face of the ground, And king Sheshach drinketh after  them. 
24O 025:027 And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts  God of Israel, Drink ye, yea drink abundantly, And vomit, and  fall, and rise not, Because of the sword that I am sending  among you. 
24O 025:028 And it hath come to pass, When they refuse to receive the  cup out of thy hand to drink, That thou hast said unto them:  Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do certainly drink. 
24O 025:029 For lo, in the city over which My name is called, I am  beginning to do evil, And ye -- ye are entirely acquitted! Ye  are not acquitted, for a sword I am proclaiming, For all  inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 
24O 025:030 And thou, thou dost prophesy unto them all these words,  and hast said unto them: Jehovah from the high place doth roar,  And from His holy habitation giveth forth His voice, He surely  roareth for His habitation, A shout as of treaders down, God  answereth all the inhabitants of the land, 
24O 025:031 Wasting hath come unto the end of the earth, For a  controversy hath Jehovah with nations, He hath executed  judgment for all flesh, The wicked! He hath given them to the  sword, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 025:032 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, evil is going out from  nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the  sides of the earth. 
24O 025:033 And the pierced of Jehovah have been in that day, From the  end of the earth even unto the end of the earth, They are not  lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For dung on the face of the  ground they are. 
24O 025:034 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, ye  honourable of the flock, For full have been your days, For  slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And ye have fallen as  a desirable vessel. 
24O 025:035 And perished hath refuge from the shepherds, And escape  from the honourable of the flock. 
24O 025:036 A voice [is] of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of  the honourable of the flock, For Jehovah is spoiling their  pasture. 
24O 025:037 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because  of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah. 
24O 025:038 He hath forsaken, as a young lion, His covert, Surely  their land hath become a desolation, Because of the oppressing  fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger! 
24O 026:001 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah,  king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, saying: 
24O 026:002 `Thus said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of  Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of  Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of  Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto  them, thou dost not diminish a word. 
24O 026:003 If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil  way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am  thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings. 
24O 026:004 `And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do  not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you, 
24O 026:005 To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I  am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have  not hearkened, 
24O 026:006 Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I  give up for a reviling to all nations of the earth.' 
24O 026:007 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear  Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah, 
24O 026:008 And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's  speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all  the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the  people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely die, 
24O 026:009 Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah,  saying, `As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is  wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled  unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah. 
24O 026:010 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up  from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit  in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah. 
24O 026:011 And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and  unto all the people, saying, `Judgment of death [is] for this  man, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard  with your ears.' 
24O 026:012 And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the  people, saying, `Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this  house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye have  heard; 
24O 026:013 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to  the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent  concerning the evil that He hath spoken against you. 
24O 026:014 `And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and  as is right in your eyes; 
24O 026:015 Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to  death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and  on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah  sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.' 
24O 026:016 And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and  unto the prophets, `There is not for this man a judgment of  death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto  us.' 
24O 026:017 And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak  unto all the assembly of the people, saying, 
24O 026:018 `Micah the Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of  Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of  Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed  field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is  for high places of a forest. 
24O 026:019 `Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and  all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face  of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He  spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our  souls. 
24O 026:020 `And also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of  Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he  prophesieth against this city, and against this land according  to all the words of Jeremiah, 
24O 026:021 And the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all  the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to  death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth  in to Egypt. 
24O 026:022 And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt -- Elnathan  son of Achbor, and men with him unto Egypt -- 
24O 026:023 And they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in  unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and  casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the people.' 
24O 026:024 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with  Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people  to put him to death. 
24O 027:001 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah,  king of Judah, hath this word been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah,  saying, 
24O 027:002 `Thus said Jehovah unto me, Make to thee bands and yokes, 
24O 027:003 And thou hast put them on thy neck, and hast sent them unto  the king of Edom, and unto the king of Moab, and unto the king  of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre, and unto the  king of Zidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming in to  Jerusalem, unto Zedekiah king of Judah; 
24O 027:004 And thou hast commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus  said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, 
24O 027:005 Thus do ye say unto your lords, I -- I have made the earth  with man, and the cattle that [are] on the face of the earth,  by My great power, and by My stretched-out arm, and I have  given it to whom it hath been right in Mine eyes. 
24O 027:006 `And now, I -- I have given all these lands into the hand  of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and also the  beast of the field I have given to him to serve him; 
24O 027:007 And served him have all the nations, and his son, and his  son's son, till the coming in of the time of his land, also it;  and done service for him have many nations and great kings. 
24O 027:008 And it hath come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that  do not serve him -- Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon -- and that  which putteth not its neck into the yoke of the king of  Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I  lay a charge on that nation -- an affirmation of Jehovah --  till I consume them by his hand. 
24O 027:009 `And ye, ye do not hearken unto your prophets, and unto  your diviners, and unto your dreamers, and unto your observers  of clouds, and unto your sorcerers who are speaking unto you,  saying, Ye do not serve the king of Babylon, -- 
24O 027:010 For falsehood they are prophesying to you, so as to remove  you far from off your ground, and I have driven you out, and ye  have perished. 
24O 027:011 And the nation that causeth its neck to enter into the  yoke of the king of Babylon, and hath served him -- I have left  it on its ground -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and it hath  tilled it, and dwelt in it.' 
24O 027:012 And unto Zedekiah king of Judah I have spoken according to  all these words, saying, `Cause your necks to enter into the  yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and  live. 
24O 027:013 Why do ye die, thou and thy people, by sword, by famine,  and by pestilence, as Jehovah hath spoken concerning the nation  that doth not serve the king of Babylon? 
24O 027:014 `And ye do not hearken unto the words of the prophets who  are speaking unto you, saying, Ye do not serve the king of  Babylon, -- for falsehood they are prophesying to you. 
24O 027:015 For I have not sent them -- an affirmation of Jehovah --  and they are prophesying in My name falsely, so as to drive you  out, and ye have perished, ye, and the prophets who are  prophesying to you.' 
24O 027:016 And unto the priests, and unto all this people, I have  spoken, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Ye do not hearken unto the  words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Lo,  the vessels of the house of Jehovah are brought back from  Babylon now in haste, for falsehood they are prophesying to  you. 
24O 027:017 Ye do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon,  and live. Why is this city a waste? 
24O 027:018 `And, if they be prophets, and if a word of Jehovah be  with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Jehovah of  Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of  Jehovah, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in  Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon. 
24O 027:019 For thus said 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, 
24O 027:020 That Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath not taken, in his  removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem  to Babylon with all the freemen of Judah and Jerusalem, 
24O 027:021 Surely thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel,  concerning the vessels that are left of the house of Jehovah,  and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem: 
24O 027:022 To Babylon they are brought, and there they are till the  day of My inspecting them -- an affirmation of Jehovah; then I  have brought them up, and have brought them back unto this  place.' 
24O 028:001 And it cometh to pass, in that year, in the beginning of  the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the  fifth month, spoken unto me hath Hananiah son of Azur the  prophet, who [is] of Gibeon, in the house of Jehovah, before  the eyes of the priests, and all the people, saying, 
24O 028:002 `Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, I have  broken the yoke of the king of Babylon; 
24O 028:003 Within two years of days I am bringing back unto this place  all the vessels of the house of Jehovah that Nebuchadnezzar  king of Babylon hath taken from this place, and doth carry to  Babylon, 
24O 028:004 And Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the  removed of Judah, who are entering Babylon, I am bringing back  unto this place -- an affirmation of Jehovah; for I do break  the yoke of the king of Babylon.' 
24O 028:005 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet,  before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the  people who are standing in the house of Jehovah, 
24O 028:006 Yea, Jeremiah the prophet saith, `Amen! so may Jehovah do;  Jehovah establish thy words that thou hast prophesied, to bring  back the vessels of the house of Jehovah and all the removal  from Babylon, unto this place. 
24O 028:007 `Only, hear, I pray thee, this word that I am speaking in  thine ears, and in the ears of all the people. 
24O 028:008 The prophets who have been before me, and before thee, from  of old, even they prophesy concerning many lands, and  concerning great kingdoms, of battle, and of evil, and of  pestilence. 
24O 028:009 The prophet who doth prophesy of peace -- by the coming in  of the word of the prophet, known is the prophet that Jehovah  hath truly sent him.' 
24O 028:010 And Hananiah the prophet taketh the yoke from off the neck  of Jeremiah the prophet, and breaketh it, 
24O 028:011 And Hananiah speaketh before the eyes of all the people,  saying, `Thus said Jehovah, Thus I break the yoke of  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, within two years of days, from  off the neck of all the nations;' and Jeremiah the prophet  goeth on his way. 
24O 028:012 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah after the  breaking, by Hananiah the prophet, of the yoke from off the  neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, 
24O 028:013 `Go, and thou hast spoken unto Hananiah, saying, Thus said  Jehovah, Yokes of wood thou hast broken, and I have made  instead of them yokes of iron; 
24O 028:014 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, A yoke of  iron I have put on the neck of all these nations to serve  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they have served him, and  also the beast of the field I have given to him.' 
24O 028:015 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto Hananiah the prophet,  `Hear, I pray thee, O Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, and  thou hast caused this people to trust on falsehood. 
24O 028:016 Therefore thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am casting thee from  off the face of the ground; this year thou diest, for apostacy  thou hast spoken concerning Jehovah.' 
24O 028:017 And Hananiah the prophet dieth in that year, in the  seventh month. 
24O 029:001 And these [are] words of the letter that Jeremiah the  prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the remnant of the elders of  the removal, and unto the priests, and unto the prophets, and  unto all the people -- whom Nebuchadnezzar removed from  Jerusalem to Babylon, 
24O 029:002 After the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the  mistress, and the officers, heads of Judah and Jerusalem, and  the artificer, and the smith, from Jerusalem -- 
24O 029:003 By the hand of Eleasah son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of  Hilkijah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Nebuchadnezzar  king of Babylon -- to Babylon, saying, 
24O 029:004 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, to all the  removal that I removed from Jerusalem to Babylon, 
24O 029:005 Build ye houses, and abide; and plant ye gardens, and eat  their fruit; 
24O 029:006 Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take for  your sons wives, and your daughters give to husbands, and they  bear sons and daughters; and multiply there, and ye are not  few; 
24O 029:007 And seek the peace of the city whither I have removed you,  and pray for it unto Jehovah, for in its peace ye have peace. 
24O 029:008 `For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Let not  your prophets who [are] in your midst, and your diviners, lift  you up, nor hearken ye unto their dreams, thay ye are causing  [them] to dream; 
24O 029:009 For with falsehood they are prophesying to you in My name;  I have not sent them, an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 029:010 `For thus said Jehovah, Surely at the fulness of Babylon  -- seventy years -- I inspect you, and have established towards  you My good word, to bring you back unto this place. 
24O 029:011 For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking towards  you -- an affirmation of Jehovah; thoughts of peace, and not of  evil, to give to you posterity and hope. 
24O 029:012 `And ye have called Me, and have gone, and have prayed  unto Me, and I have hearkened unto you, 
24O 029:013 And ye have sought Me, and have found, for ye seek Me with  all your heart; 
24O 029:014 And I have been found of you -- an affirmation of Jehovah;  and I have turned back [to] your captivity, and have gathered  you out of all the nations, and out of all the places whither I  have driven you -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and I have  brought you back unto the place whence I removed you. 
24O 029:015 `Because ye have said, Jehovah hath raised up to us  prophets in Babylon, 
24O 029:016 Surely thus said Jehovah concerning the king who is  sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people  that is dwelling in this city, your brethren who went not forth  with you in the removal; 
24O 029:017 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Lo, I am sending among them  the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and I have given  them up as figs that [are] vile, that are not eaten for  badness. 
24O 029:018 And I have pursued after them with sword, with famine, and  with pestilence, and have given them for a trembling to all  kingdoms of the earth, for a curse and for an astonishment, and  for a hissing, and for a reproach among all the nations whither  I have driven them, 
24O 029:019 Because that they have not hearkened unto My words -- an  affirmation of Jehovah -- that I sent unto them by My servants  the prophets, rising early and sending, and ye hearkened not --  an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 029:020 `And ye, hear ye a word of Jehovah, all ye of the  captivity that I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon, 
24O 029:021 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning Ahab  son of Kolaiah, and concerning Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who  are prophesying to you in My name falsehood: Lo, I am giving  them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he  hath smitten them before your eyes, 
24O 029:022 And taken from them hath been a reviling by all the  removed of Judah that [are] in Babylon, saying, Jehovah doth  set thee as Zedekiah, and as Ahab, whom the king of Babylon  roasted with fire; 
24O 029:023 Because that they have done folly in Israel, and commit  adultery with the wives of their neighbours, and speak a word  in My name falsely that I have not commanded them, and I [am]  He who knoweth and a witness -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 029:024 `And unto Shemaiah the Nehelamite thou dost speak, saying, 
24O 029:025 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying, Because  that thou hast sent in thy name letters unto all the people who  [are] in Jerusalem, and unto Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the  priest, and unto all the priests, saying, 
24O 029:026 Jehovah hath made thee priest instead of Jehoiada the  priest, for there being inspectors of the house of Jehovah, for  every one mad and making himself a prophet, and thou hast put  him unto the torture and unto the stocks. 
24O 029:027 And now, why hast thou not pushed against Jeremiah of  Anathoth, who is making himself a prophet to you? 
24O 029:028 Because that he hath sent unto us to Babylon, saying, It  [is] long, build ye houses, and abide; and plant ye gardens,  and eat their fruit.' 
24O 029:029 And Zephaniah the priest readeth this letter in the ears  of Jeremiah the prophet. 
24O 029:030 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying, 
24O 029:031 `Send unto all the removal, saying, Thus said Jehovah  concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, Because that Shemaiah  prophesied to you, and I -- I have not sent him, and he doth  cause you to trust on falsehood, 
24O 029:032 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am seeing after  Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and after his seed, he hath none  dwelling in the midst of this people, nor doth he look on the  good that I am doing to My people -- an affirmation of Jehovah  -- for apostacy he hath spoken against Jehovah.' 
24O 030:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying, 
24O 030:002 `Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee  all the words that I have spoken unto thee on a book. 
24O 030:003 For, lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah --  and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel  and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back  unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess  it.' 
24O 030:004 And these [are] the words that Jehovah hath spoken  concerning Israel and concerning Judah: 
24O 030:005 Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have  heard, Fear -- and there is no peace. 
24O 030:006 Ask, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth?  Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a  travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness? 
24O 030:007 Wo! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a  time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved. 
24O 030:008 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy  bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers. 
24O 030:009 And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their  king whom I raise up to them. 
24O 030:010 And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation  of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving  thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity,  And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there  is none troubling. 
24O 030:011 For with thee [am] I, An affirmation of Jehovah -- to save  thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have  scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have  chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee. 
24O 030:012 For thus said Jehovah: Incurable is thy breach, grievous  thy stroke, 
24O 030:013 There is none judging thy cause to bind up, Healing  medicines there are none for thee. 
24O 030:014 all loving thee have forgotten thee, Thee they do not  seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote thee, The  chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of thy  iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins! 
24O 030:015 What! -- thou criest concerning thy breach! Incurable [is]  thy pain, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have  been thy sins! I have done these to thee. 
24O 030:016 Therefore all consuming thee are consumed, And all thine  adversaries -- all of them -- Into captivity do go, And thy  spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers I give  up to plunder. 
24O 030:017 For I increase health to thee, And from thy strokes I do  heal thee, An affirmation of Jehovah, For `Outcast' they have  called to thee, `Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.' 
24O 030:018 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of  the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the  city hath been built on its heap, And the palace according to  its ordinance remaineth. 
24O 030:019 And gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice  of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not  few, And made them honourable, and they are not small. 
24O 030:020 And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company  before Me is established, And I have seen after all his  oppressors. 
24O 030:021 And his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler  from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near,  And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who hath  pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 030:022 And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for  God. 
24O 030:023 Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah -- Fury hath gone forth -- a  cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth. 
24O 030:024 The fierceness of the anger of Jehovah Doth not turn back  till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His  heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it! 
24O 031:001 At that time, an affirmation of Jehovah, I am for God to  all families of Israel, And they -- they are to Me for a  people. 
24O 031:002 Thus said Jehovah: Found grace in the wilderness Hath a  people remaining from the sword Going to cause it to rest --  Israel. 
24O 031:003 From afar Jehovah hath appeared to me, With love age-during  I have loved thee, Therefore I have drawn thee [with] kindness. 
24O 031:004 Again do I build thee, And thou hast been built, O virgin  of Israel, Again thou puttest on thy tabrets, And hast gone out  in the chorus of the playful. 
24O 031:005 Again thou dost plant vineyards In mountains of Samaria,  Planters have planted, and made common. 
24O 031:006 For there is a day, Cried have watchmen on mount Ephraim,  `Rise, and we go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God; 
24O 031:007 For thus said Jehovah: Sing, O ye to Jacob, [with] joy, And  cry aloud at the head of the nations, Sound ye, praise ye, and  say, Save, O Jehovah, thy people, the remnant of Israel. 
24O 031:008 Lo, I am bringing them in from the north country, And have  gathered them from the sides of the earth, Among them [are]  blind and lame, Conceiving and travailing one -- together, A  great assembly -- they turn back hither. 
24O 031:009 With weeping they come in, And with supplications I bring  them, I cause them to go unto streams of waters, In a right way  -- they stumble not in it, For I have been to Israel for a  father, And Ephraim -- My first-born [is] he. 
24O 031:010 Hear a word of Jehovah, O nations, And declare ye among  isles afar off, and say: He who is scattering Israel doth  gather him, And hath kept him as a shepherd [doth] his flock, 
24O 031:011 For Jehovah hath ransomed Jacob, And redeemed him from a  hand stronger than he. 
24O 031:012 And they have come in, And have sung in the high place of  Zion, And flowed unto the goodness of Jehovah, For wheat, and  for new wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and  herd, And their soul hath been as a watered garden, And they  add not to grieve any more. 
24O 031:013 Then rejoice doth a virgin in a chorus, Both young men and  old men -- together, And I have turned their mourning to joy,  And have comforted them, And gladdened them above their sorrow, 
24O 031:014 And satisfied the soul of the priests [with] fatness, And  My people with My goodness are satisfied, An affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 031:015 Thus said Jehovah, A voice in Ramah is heard, wailing,  weeping most bitter, Rachel is weeping for her sons, She hath  refused to be comforted for her sons, because they are not. 
24O 031:016 Thus said Jehovah: Withhold thy voice from weeping, and  thine eyes from tears, For there is a reward for thy work, An  affirmation of Jehovah, And they have turned back from the land  of the enemy. 
24O 031:017 And there is hope for thy latter end, An affirmation of  Jehovah, And the sons have turned back [to] their border. 
24O 031:018 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, `Thou hast  chastised me, And I am chastised, as a heifer not taught, Turn  me back, and I turn back, For thou [art] Jehovah my God. 
24O 031:019 For after my turning back I repented, And after my being  instructed I struck on the thigh, I have been ashamed, I have  also blushed, For I have borne the reproach of my youth. 
24O 031:020 A precious son is Ephraim to Me? A child of delights? For  since My speaking against him, I do thoroughly remember him  still, Therefore have My bowels been moved for him, I do  greatly love him, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 031:021 Set up for thee signs, make for thee heaps, Set thy heart  to the highway, the way thou wentest, Turn back, O virgin of  Israel, Turn back unto these thy cities. 
24O 031:022 Till when dost thou withdraw thyself, O backsliding  daughter? For Jehovah hath prepared a new thing in the land,  Woman doth compass man. 
24O 031:023 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Still they say  this word in the land of Judah, And in its cities, In My  turning back [to] their captivity, Jehovah doth bless thee,  habitation of righteousness, Mountain of holiness. 
24O 031:024 And dwelt in Judah have husbandmen, and in all its cities  together, And they have journeyed in order. 
24O 031:025 For I have satiated the weary soul, And every grieved soul  I have filled.' 
24O 031:026 On this I have awaked, and I behold, and my sleep hath  been sweet to me. 
24O 031:027 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have  sown the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, With seed of  man, and seed of beast. 
24O 031:028 And it hath been, as I watched over them to pluck up, And  to break down, and to throw down, And to destroy, and to  afflict; So do I watch over them to build, and to plant, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 031:029 In those days they do not say any more: Fathers have eaten  unripe fruit, And the sons' teeth are blunted. 
24O 031:030 But -- each for his own iniquity doth die, Every man who  is eating the unripe fruit, Blunted are his teeth. 
24O 031:031 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have  made with the house of Israel And with the house of Judah a new  covenant, 
24O 031:032 Not like the covenant that I made with their fathers, In  the day of My laying hold on their hand, To bring them out of  the land of Egypt, In that they made void My covenant, And I  ruled over them -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 031:033 For this [is] the covenant that I make, With the house of  Israel, after those days, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have  given My law in their inward part, And on their heart I do  write it, And I have been to them for God, And they are to me  for a people. 
24O 031:034 And they do not teach any more Each his neighbour, and  each his brother, Saying, Know ye Jehovah, For they all know  Me, from their least unto their greatest, An affirmation of  Jehovah; For I pardon their iniquity, And of their sin I make  mention no more. 
24O 031:035 Thus said Jehovah, Who is giving the sun for a light by  day, The statutes of moon and stars for a light by night,  Quieting the sea when its billows roar, Jehovah of Hosts [is]  His name: 
24O 031:036 If these statutes depart from before Me, An affirmation of  Jehovah, Even the seed of Israel doth cease From being a nation  before Me all the days. 
24O 031:037 Thus said Jehovah: If the heavens above be measured, And  the foundations of earth below searched, Even I kick against  all the seed of Israel, For all that they have done, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 031:038 Lo, days [are coming], an affirmation of Jehovah, And the  city hath been built to Jehovah, From the tower of Hananeel to  the gate of the corner. 
24O 031:039 And gone out again hath the measuring line Over-against  it, unto the height of Gareb, And it hath compassed to Goah. 
24O 031:040 And all the valley of the carcases and of the ashes, And  all the fields unto the brook Kidron, Unto the corner of the  horse-gate eastward, [Are] holy to Jehovah, it is not plucked  up, Nor is it thrown down any more to the age! 
24O 032:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the  tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah -- it [is] the eighteenth  year of Nebuchadrezzar, 
24O 032:002 And then the forces of the king of Babylon are laying siege  against Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet hath been shut up  in the court of the prison that [is] in the house of the king  of Judah, 
24O 032:003 Where Zedekiah king of Judah hath shut him up, saying,  `Wherefore art thou prophesying, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Lo,  I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and  he hath captured it; 
24O 032:004 And Zedekiah king of Judah doth not escape out of the hand  of the Chaldeans, but is certainly given into the hand of the  king of Babylon, and his mouth hath spoken with his mouth, and  his eyes see his eyes, 
24O 032:005 And [to] Babylon he leadeth Zedekiah, and there he is till  My inspecting him, -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- because ye  fight with the Chaldeans, ye do not prosper.' 
24O 032:006 And Jeremiah saith, `A word of Jehovah hath been unto me  saying, 
24O 032:007 Lo, Hanameel son of Shallum, thine uncle, is coming unto  thee, saying, Buy for thee my field that [is] in Anathoth, for  thine [is] the right of redemption -- to buy. 
24O 032:008 And Hanameel, my uncle's son, cometh in unto me, according  to the word of Jehovah, unto the court of the prison, and saith  unto me, `Buy, I pray thee, my field that [is] in Anathoth,  that [is] in the land of Benjamin, for thine [is] the right of  possession, and thine of redemption -- buy for thee.' And I  know that it [is] the word of Jehovah, 
24O 032:009 And I buy the field, that [is] in Anathoth, from Hanameel,  my uncle's son, and I weigh to him the money -- seventeen  shekels of silver. 
24O 032:010 And I write in a book, and seal, and cause witnesses to  testify, and weigh the silver in balances; 
24O 032:011 And I take the purchase-book, the sealed one, according to  law and custom, and the open one. 
24O 032:012 And I give the purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah,  son of Maaseiah, before the eyes of Hanameel, my uncle's son,  and before the eyes of the witnesses, those writing in the  purchase-book, before the eyes of all the Jews who are sitting  in the court of the prison. 
24O 032:013 And I charge Baruch before their eyes, saying, 
24O 032:014 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Take these  books, this purchase-book, both the sealed one and the open  one, and thou hast put them in an earthen vessel, that they may  remain many days; 
24O 032:015 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Again are  houses and fields and vineyards bought in this land.' 
24O 032:016 And I pray unto Jehovah -- after my giving the  purchase-book unto Baruch son of Neriah -- saying, 
24O 032:017 `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, Thou hast made the heavens and the  earth by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm; there  is nothing too wonderful for Thee: 
24O 032:018 Doing kindness to thousands, and recompensing iniquity of  fathers into the bosom of their sons after them; God, the  great, the mighty, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, 
24O 032:019 Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes  are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each  according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his  doings: 
24O 032:020 In that thou hast done signs and wonders in the land of  Egypt unto this day, and in Israel, and among men, and Thou  dost make for Thee a name as [at] this day. 
24O 032:021 `And Thou bringest forth Thy people Israel from the land  of Egypt, with signs and with wonders, and by a strong hand,  and by a stretched-out arm, and by great fear, 
24O 032:022 And thou givest to them this land that thou didst swear to  their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and  honey, 
24O 032:023 And they come in, and possess it, and they have not  hearkened to Thy voice, and in Thy law have not walked, all  that which Thou didst lay a charge on them to do they have not  done, and Thou dost proclaim [to] them all this evil. 
24O 032:024 `Lo, the mounts -- they have come in to the city to  capture it, and the city hath been given into the hand of the  Chaldeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword,  and the famine, and the pestilence; and that which Thou hast  spoken hath come to pass, and lo, Thou art seeing; 
24O 032:025 Yet Thou hast said unto me, O Lord Jehovah, Buy for thee  the field with money, and cause witnesses to testify -- and the  city hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!' 
24O 032:026 And the word of Jehovah is unto Jeremiah, saying: 
24O 032:027 `Lo, I [am] Jehovah, God of all flesh: For Me is anything  too wonderful? 
24O 032:028 `Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving this city  into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he hath captured it; 
24O 032:029 And come in have the Chaldeans who are fighting against  this city, and they have set this city on fire, and have burned  it, and the houses on whose roofs they made perfume to Baal,  and poured out libations to other gods, so as to provoke Me to  anger. 
24O 032:030 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been  only doing evil in Mine eyes, from their youth; for the sons of  Israel are only provoking Me with the work of their hands -- an  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 032:031 `For a cause of Mine anger, and a cause of My fury, hath  this city been to Me, even from the day that they built it, and  unto this day -- to turn it aside from before My face, 
24O 032:032 Because of all the evil of the sons of Israel, and of the  sons of Judah that they have done, so as to provoke Me -- they,  their kings, their heads, their priests, and their prophets,  and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
24O 032:033 And they turn unto Me the neck, and not the face, and  teaching them, rising early and teaching, and they are not  hearkening to accept instruction. 
24O 032:034 `And they set their abominations in the house over which  My name is called, so as to defile it; 
24O 032:035 And they build the high places of Baal, that [are] in the  valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their  daughters to pass through to Molech, which I did not command  them, nor did it come up on my heart to do this abomination, so  as to cause Judah to sin. 
24O 032:036 `And now, therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Israel,  concerning this city, of which ye are saying, It hath been  given into the hand of the king of Babylon by sword, and by  famine, and by pestilence, 
24O 032:037 Lo, I am gathering them out of all the lands whither I  have driven them in Mine anger, and in My fury, and in great  wrath, and I have brought them back unto this place, and have  caused them to dwell confidently; 
24O 032:038 and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them  for God; 
24O 032:039 and I have given to them one heart, and one way, to fear  Me all the days, for good to them, and to their sons after  them: 
24O 032:040 and I have made for them a covenant age-during, in that I  turn not back from after them for My doing them good, and My  fear I put in their heart, so as not to turn aside from me; 
24O 032:041 and I have rejoiced over them to do them good, and have  planted them in this land in truth, with all my heart, and with  all My soul. 
24O 032:042 `For thus said Jehovah: As I brought in unto this people  all this great evil, so I am bringing in on them all the good  that I am speaking concerning them; 
24O 032:043 and bought hath been the field in this land of which ye  are saying, A desolation it [is], without man and beast, it  hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 
24O 032:044 Fields with money they buy, so as to write in a book, and  to seal, and to cause witnesses to testify, in the land of  Benjamin, and in suburbs of Jerusalem, and in cities of Judah,  and in cities of the hill-country, and in cities of the low  country, and in cities of the south, for I turn back their  captivity -- an affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 033:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time  -- and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison --  saying: 
24O 033:002 Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at  establishing it, Jehovah [is] His name: 
24O 033:003 Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee  great and fenced things -- thou hast not known them. 
24O 033:004 For thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses  of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah,  that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool; 
24O 033:005 they are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill  them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine  anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face  from this city, because of all their evil: 
24O 033:006 Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed  them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth. 
24O 033:007 And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the  captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first, 
24O 033:008 And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have  sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities,  That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed  against Me. 
24O 033:009 And it hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and  for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the  good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have  trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am  doing to it. 
24O 033:010 Thus said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye  are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In  cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are  desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without  beast, 
24O 033:011 Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of  bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying,  Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness  [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house  of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at  the first, said Jehovah. 
24O 033:012 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place  -- that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities  -- a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down. 
24O 033:013 In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the  low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of  Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of  Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the  numberer, said Jehovah. 
24O 033:014 Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have  established the good word That I spake unto the house of  Israel, And concerning the house of Judah. 
24O 033:015 In those days, and at that time, I cause to shoot up to  David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and  righteousness in the earth. 
24O 033:016 In those days is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell  confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her:  `Our Righteousness.' 
24O 033:017 For thus said Jehovah: `Not cut off to David is one  sitting on the throne of the house of Israel, 
24O 033:018 And to the priests -- the Levites, Not cut off from before  Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a  present, and making sacrifice -- all the days.' 
24O 033:019 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying, 
24O 033:020 `Thus said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day,  And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and  nightly in their season, 
24O 033:021 Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that  he hath not a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites  the priests, My ministers. 
24O 033:022 As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand  of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My  servant, And the Levites My ministers.' 
24O 033:023 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying: 
24O 033:024 `Hast thou not considered what this people have spoken,  saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject  them, And my people they despise -- So that they are no more a  people before them! 
24O 033:025 Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and  nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed  -- 
24O 033:026 Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject,  Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham,  Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and  have pitied them.' 
24O 034:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah -- and  Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his force, and all  kingdoms of the land of the dominion of his hand, and all the  peoples are fighting against Jerusalem, and against all its  cities -- saying: 
24O 034:002 `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel: Go, and thou hast spoken  unto Zedekiah king of Judah, and hast said unto him, Thus said  Jehovah: Lo, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of  Babylon, and he hath burned it with fire, 
24O 034:003 and thou, thou dost not escape out of his hand, for thou  art certainly caught, and into his hand thou art given, and  thine eyes see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and his mouth  with thy mouth speaketh, and Babylon thou enterest. 
24O 034:004 `Only, hear a word of Jehovah, O Zedekiah king of Judah,  Thus said Jehovah unto thee: Thou dost not die by sword, 
24O 034:005 in peace thou diest, and with the burnings of thy fathers,  the former kings who have been before thee, so they make a  burning for thee; and Ah, lord, they lament for thee, for the  word I have spoken -- an affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 034:006 And Jeremiah the prophet speaketh unto Zedekiah king of  Judah all these words in Jerusalem, 
24O 034:007 and the forces of the king of Babylon are fighting against  Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that are left --  against Lachish, and against Azekah, for these have been left  among the cities of Judah, cities of fortresses. 
24O 034:008 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after  the making by the king Zedekiah of a covenant with all the  people who [are] in Jerusalem, to proclaim to them liberty, 
24O 034:009 to send out each his man-servant, and each his maid-servant  -- the Hebrew and the Hebrewess -- free, so as not to lay  service on them, any on a Jew his brother; 
24O 034:010 and hearken do all the heads, and all the people who have  come in to the covenant to send forth each his man-servant and  each his maid-servant free, so as not to lay service on them  any more, yea, they hearken, and send them away; 
24O 034:011 and they turn afterwards, and cause the men-servants and  the maid-servants to return, whom they had sent forth free, and  they subdue them for men-servants and for maid-servants. 
24O 034:012 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah from Jehovah,  saying: 
24O 034:013 `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, I -- I made a covenant  with your fathers in the day of My bringing them forth from the  land of Egypt, from a house of servants, saying, 
24O 034:014 At the end of seven years ye do send forth each his  brother, the Hebrew, who is sold to thee, and hath served thee  six years, yea, thou hast sent him forth free from thee: and  your fathers hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear. 
24O 034:015 `And ye turn back, ye to-day, and ye do that which is  right in Mine eyes, to proclaim liberty each to his neighbour,  and ye make a covenant before Me in the house over which My  name is called. 
24O 034:016 And -- ye turn back, and pollute My name, and ye cause  each his man-servant and each his maid-servant, whom he had  sent forth free, (at their pleasure,) to return, and ye subdue  them to be to you for men-servants and for maid-servants. 
24O 034:017 `Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Ye have not hearkened unto  Me to proclaim freedom, each to his brother, and each to his  neighbour; lo, I am proclaiming to you liberty -- an  affirmation of Jehovah -- unto the sword, unto the pestilence,  and unto the famine, and I have given you for a trembling to  all kingdoms of the earth. 
24O 034:018 `And I have given the men who are transgressing My  covenant, who have not established the words of the covenant  that they have made before Me, by the calf, that they have cut  in two, and pass through between its pieces -- 
24O 034:019 heads of Judah, and heads of Jerusalem, the officers, and  the priests, and all the people of the land those passing  through between the pieces of the calf -- 
24O 034:020 yea, I have given them into the hand of their enemies, and  into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their carcase  hath been for food to the fowl of the heavens, and to the beast  of the earth. 
24O 034:021 `And Zedekiah king of Judah, and his heads, I give into  the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking  their soul, and into the hand of the forces of the king of  Babylon, that are going up from off you. 
24O 034:022 Lo, I am commanding -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- and  have brought them back unto this city, and they have fought  against it, and captured it, and burned it with fire, and the  cities of Judah I do make a desolation -- without inhabitant.' 
24O 035:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, in the  days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying: 
24O 035:002 `Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and thou hast spoken  with them, and brought them into the house of Jehovah, unto one  of the chambers, and caused them to drink wine.' 
24O 035:003 And I take Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah, son of Habazziniah,  and his brethren, and all his sons, and all the house of the  Rechabites, 
24O 035:004 and bring them into the house of Jehovah, unto the chamber  of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [is]  near to the chamber of the princes, that [is] above the chamber  of Maaseiah son of Shallum, keeper of the threshold; 
24O 035:005 and I put before the sons of the house of the Rechabites  goblets full of wine, and cups, and I say unto them, Drink ye  wine. 
24O 035:006 And they say, `We do not drink wine: for Jonadab son of  Rechab, our father, charged us, saying, Ye do not drink wine,  ye and your sons -- unto the age; 
24O 035:007 and a house ye do not build, and seed ye do not sow, and a  vineyard ye do not plant, nor have ye any; for in tents do ye  dwell all your days, that ye may live many days on the face of  the ground whither ye are sojourning. 
24O 035:008 `And we hearken to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab, our  father, to all that he commanded us, not to drink wine all our  days, we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters; 
24O 035:009 nor to build houses for our dwelling; and vineyard, and  field, and seed, we have none; 
24O 035:010 and we dwell in tents, and we hearken, and we do according  to all that Jonadab our father commanded us; 
24O 035:011 and it cometh to pass, in the coming up of Nebuchadrezzar  king of Babylon unto the land, that we say, Come, and we enter  Jerusalem, because of the force of the Chaldeans, and because  of the force of Aram -- and we dwell in Jerusalem.' 
24O 035:012 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, saying:  `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: 
24O 035:013 `Go, and thou hast said to the men of Judah, and to the  inhabitants of Jerusalem: Do ye not receive instruction? -- to  hearken unto My words -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 035:014 Performed have been the words of Jonadab son of Rechab,  when he commanded his sons not to drink wine, and they have not  drunk unto this day, for they have obeyed the command of their  father; and I -- I have spoken unto you, rising early and  speaking, and ye have not hearkened unto Me. 
24O 035:015 And I send unto you all My servants the prophets, rising  early and sending, saying: Turn back, I pray you, each from his  evil way, and amend your doings, yea, ye do not walk after  other gods, to serve them, and dwell ye on the ground that I  have given to you and to your fathers; and ye have not inclined  your ear, nor hearkened unto Me. 
24O 035:016 `Because the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have performed  the command of their father, that he commanded them, and this  people have not hearkened unto Me, 
24O 035:017 therefore thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel:  Lo, I am bringing in unto Judah, and unto all inhabitants of  Jerusalem, all the evil that I have spoken against them,  because I have spoken unto them, and they have not hearkened,  yea, I call to them, and they have not answered.' 
24O 035:018 And to the house of the Rechabites said Jeremiah: `Thus  said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Because that ye have  hearkened unto the command of Jonadab your father, and ye  observe all his commands, and do according to all that he  commanded you; 
24O 035:019 therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Of  Jonadab son of Rechab one standing before me is not cut off all  the days.' 
24O 036:001 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son  of Josiah king of Judah, this word hath been unto Jeremiah from  Jehovah, saying: 
24O 036:002 `Take to thee a roll of a book, and thou hast written on it  all the words that I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel,  and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the  day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this  day; 
24O 036:003 if so be the house of Israel do hear all the evil that I am  thinking of doing to them, so that they turn back each from is  evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to  their sin.' 
24O 036:004 And Jeremiah calleth Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch  writeth from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah,  that He hath spoken unto him, on a roll of a book. 
24O 036:005 And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, `I am restrained, I  am not able to enter the house of Jehovah; 
24O 036:006 but thou hast entered -- and thou hast read in the roll  that thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah, in  the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, in the day of  the fast, and also in the ears of all Judah who are coming in  from their cities thou dost read them; 
24O 036:007 if so be their supplication doth fall before Jehovah, and  they turn back each from his evil way, for great [is] the anger  and the fury that Jehovah hath spoken concerning this people.' 
24O 036:008 And Baruch son of Neriah doth according to all that  Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, to read in the book the  words of Jehovah in the house of Jehovah. 
24O 036:009 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son  of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, proclaimed a fast  before Jehovah have all the people in Jerusalem, and all the  people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem; 
24O 036:010 and Baruch readeth in the book the words of Jeremiah in  the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan  the scribe, in the higher court, at the opening of the new gate  of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people. 
24O 036:011 And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heareth all  the words of Jehovah from off the book, 
24O 036:012 and he goeth down [to] the house of the king, unto the  chamber of the scribe, and lo, there are all the heads sitting:  Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan  son of Acbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of  Hananiah, and all the heads. 
24O 036:013 And declare to them doth Micaiah all the words that he  hath heard, when Baruch readeth in the book in the ears of the  people; 
24O 036:014 and all the heads send unto Baruch, Jehudi son of  Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, `The roll in  which thou hast read in the ears of the people take in thy  hand, and come.' And Baruch son of Neriah taketh the roll in  his hand and cometh in unto them, 
24O 036:015 and they say unto him, `Sit down, we pray thee, and read  it in our ears,' and Baruch readeth in their ears, 
24O 036:016 and it cometh to pass, when they hear all the words, they  have been afraid one at another, and say unto Baruch, `We do  surely declare to the king all these words.' 
24O 036:017 And they asked Baruch, saying, `Declare, we pray thee, to  us, how didst thou write all these words -- from his mouth?' 
24O 036:018 And Baruch saith to them, `From his mouth, he pronounceth  unto me all these words, and I am writing on the book with  ink.' 
24O 036:019 And the heads say unto Baruch, `Go, be hidden, thou and  Jeremiah, and let no one know where ye [are].' 
24O 036:020 And they go in unto the king, to the court, and the roll  they have laid up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and  they declare in the ears of the king all the words. 
24O 036:021 And the king sendeth Jehudi to take the roll, and he  taketh it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi  readeth it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the  heads who are standing by the king; 
24O 036:022 and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth  month, and the stove before him is burning, 
24O 036:023 and it cometh to pass, when Jehudi readeth three or four  leaves, he cutteth it out with the scribe's knife, and hath  cast unto the fire, that [is] on the stove, till the  consumption of all the roll by the fire that [is] on the stove. 
24O 036:024 And the king and all his servants who are hearing all  these words have not been afraid, nor rent their garments. 
24O 036:025 And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have  interceded with the king not to burn the roll, and he hath not  hearkened unto them. 
24O 036:026 And the king commandeth Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and  Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take  Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Jehovah doth  hide them. 
24O 036:027 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah -- after the  king's burning the roll, even the words that Baruch hath  written from the mouth of Jeremiah -- saying: 
24O 036:028 `Turn, take to thee another roll, and write on it all the  former words that were on the first roll, that Jehoiakim king  of Judah burnt, 
24O 036:029 and unto Jehoiakim king of Judah thou dost say: Thus said  Jehovah, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Wherefore hast thou  written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely cometh in,  and hath destroyed this land, and caused to cease from it man  and beast? 
24O 036:030 `Therefore, thus said Jehovah, concerning Jehoiakim king  of Judah: He hath none sitting on the throne of David, and his  carcase is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night; 
24O 036:031 and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his  servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on  the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto the men of Judah, all  the evil that I have spoken unto them, and they hearkened not.' 
24O 036:032 And Jeremiah hath taken another roll, and giveth it unto  Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writeth on it from the  mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king  of Judah hath burnt in the fire; and again there were added  unto them many words like these. 
24O 037:001 And reign doth king Zedekiah son of Josiah instead of  Coniah son of Jehoiakim whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had  caused to reign in the land of Judah, 
24O 037:002 and he hath not hearkened, he, and his servants, and the  people of the land, unto the words of Jehovah, that He spake by  the hand of Jeremiah the prophet. 
24O 037:003 And Zedekiah the king sendeth Jehucal son of Shelemiah, and  Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, unto Jeremiah the  prophet, saying, `Pray, we beseech thee, for us unto Jehovah  our God.' 
24O 037:004 And Jeremiah is coming in and going out in the midst of the  people, (and they have not put him in the prison-house), 
24O 037:005 and the force of Pharaoh hath come out of Egypt, and the  Chaldeans, who are laying siege against Jerusalem, hear their  report, and go up from off Jerusalem. 
24O 037:006 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet,  saying: 
24O 037:007 `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Thus do ye say unto the  king of Judah, who is sending you unto Me, to seek Me: Lo, the  force of Pharaoh that is coming out to you for help hath turned  back to its land, to Egypt, 
24O 037:008 and the Chaldeans have turned back, and fought against this  city, and captured it, and burnt it with fire. 
24O 037:009 `Thus said Jehovah: Lift not up your souls saying, The  Chaldeans surely go from off us, for they do not go; 
24O 037:010 for though ye had smitten all the force of the Chaldeans  who are fighting with you, and there were left of them wounded  men -- each in his tent -- they rise, and have burnt this city  with fire.' 
24O 037:011 And it hath come to pass, in the going up of the force of  the Chaldeans from off Jerusalem, because of the force of  Pharaoh, 
24O 037:012 that Jeremiah goeth out from Jerusalem to go [to] the land  of Benjamin, to receive a portion thence in the midst of the  people. 
24O 037:013 And it cometh to pass, he is at the gate of Benjamin, and  there [is] a master of the ward -- and his name is Irijah son  of Shelemiah, son of Hananiah -- and he catcheth Jeremiah the  prophet, saying, `Unto the Chaldeans thou art falling.' 
24O 037:014 And Jeremiah saith, `Falsehood -- I am not falling unto  the Chaldeans;' and he hath not hearkened unto him, and Irijah  layeth hold on Jeremiah, and bringeth him in unto the heads, 
24O 037:015 and the heads are wroth against Jeremiah, and have smitten  him, and put him in the prison-house -- the house of Jonathan  the scribe, for it they had made for a prison-house. 
24O 037:016 When Jeremiah hath entered into the house of the dungeon,  and unto the cells, then Jeremiah dwelleth there many days, 
24O 037:017 and the king Zedekiah sendeth, and taketh him, and the  king asketh him in his house in secret, and saith, `Is there a  word from Jehovah?' And Jeremiah saith, `There is,' and he  saith, `Into the hand of the king of Babylon thou art given.' 
24O 037:018 And Jeremiah saith unto the king Zedekiah, `What have I  sinned against thee, and against thy servants, and against this  people, that ye have given me unto a prison-house? 
24O 037:019 And where [are] your prophets who prophesied to you,  saying, The king of Babylon doth not come in against you, and  against this land? 
24O 037:020 And now, hearken, I pray thee, my lord, O king, let my  supplication fall, I pray thee, before thee, and cause me not  to return [to] the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I die not  there.' 
24O 037:021 And the king Zedekiah commandeth, and they commit Jeremiah  into the court of the prison, also to give to him a cake of  bread daily from the bakers' street, till the consumption of  all the bread of the city, and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court  of the prison. 
24O 038:001 And Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur,  and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchiah, hear  the words that Jeremiah is speaking unto all the people,  saying, 
24O 038:002 `Thus said Jehovah: He who is remaining in this city dieth,  by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, and he who is going  forth unto the Chaldeans liveth, and his soul hath been to him  for a prey, and he liveth. 
24O 038:003 Thus said Jehovah: This city is certainly given into the  hand of the force of the king of Babylon, and he hath captured  it.' 
24O 038:004 And the heads say unto the king, `Let, we pray thee, this  man be put to death, because that he is making feeble the hands  of the men of war, who are left in this city, and the hands of  all the people, by speaking unto them according to these words,  for this man is not seeking for the peace of this people, but  for its evil.' 
24O 038:005 And the king Zedekiah saith, `Lo, he [is] in your hand: for  the king is not able for you [in] anything.' 
24O 038:006 And they take Jeremiah, and cast him into the pit of  Malchiah son of the king, that [is] in the court of the prison,  and they send down Jeremiah with cords; and in the pit there is  no water, but mire, and Jeremiah sinketh in the mire. 
24O 038:007 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [is] in the  king's house, heareth that they have put Jeremiah into the pit;  and the king is sitting at the gate of Benjamin, 
24O 038:008 and Ebed-Melech goeth forth from the king's house, and  speaketh unto the king, saying, 
24O 038:009 `My lord, O king, these men have done evil [in] all that  they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast  into the pit, and he dieth in his place because of the famine,  for there is no more bread in the city.' 
24O 038:010 And the king commandeth Ebed-Melech the Cushite, saying,  `Take with thee from this thirty men, and thou hast brought up  Jeremiah the prophet from the pit, before he dieth.' 
24O 038:011 And Ebed-Melech taketh the men with him, and entereth the  house of the king, unto the place of the treasury, and taketh  thence worn-out clouts, and worn-out rags, and sendeth them  unto Jeremiah unto the pit by cords. 
24O 038:012 And Ebed-Melech the Cushite saith unto Jeremiah, `Put, I  pray thee, the worn-out clouts and rags under thine arm-holes,  at the place of the cords,' and Jeremiah doth so, 
24O 038:013 and they draw out Jeremiah with cords, and bring him up  out of the pit, and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the  prison. 
24O 038:014 And the king Zedekiah sendeth, and taketh Jeremiah the  prophet unto him, unto the third entrance that [is] in the  house of Jehovah, and the king saith unto Jeremiah, `I am  asking thee a thing, do not hide from me anything.' 
24O 038:015 And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, `When I declare to thee,  dost thou not surely put me to death? and when I counsel thee,  thou dost not hearken unto me.' 
24O 038:016 And the king Zedekiah sweareth unto Jeremiah in secret,  saying, `Jehovah liveth, He who made for us this soul, I do not  put thee to death, nor give thee unto the hand of these men who  are seeking thy soul.' 
24O 038:017 And Jeremiah saith unto Zedekiah, `Thus said Jehovah, God  of Hosts, God of Israel: If thou dost certainly go forth unto  the heads of the king of Babylon, then hath thy soul lived, and  this city is not burned with fire, yea, thou hast lived, thou  and thy house. 
24O 038:018 And if thou dost not go forth unto the heads of the king  of Babylon, then hath this city been given into the hand of the  Chaldeans, and they have burnt it with fire, and thou dost not  escape from their hand.' 
24O 038:019 And the king Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, `I am fearing  the Jews who have fallen unto the Chaldeans, lest they give me  into their hand, and they have insulted me.' 
24O 038:020 And Jeremiah saith, `They do not give thee up; hearken, I  pray thee, to the voice of Jehovah, to that which I am speaking  unto thee, and it is well for thee, and thy soul doth live. 
24O 038:021 `And if thou art refusing to go forth, this [is] the thing  that Jehovah hath shewn me: 
24O 038:022 That, lo, all the women who have been left in the house of  the king of Judah are brought forth unto the heads of the king  of Babylon, and lo, they are saying: Persuaded thee, and  prevailed against thee, Have thine allies, Sunk into mire have  thy feet, They have been turned backward. 
24O 038:023 `And all thy wives, and thy sons, are brought forth unto  the Chaldeans, and thou dost not escape from their hand, for by  the hand of the king of Babylon thou art caught, and this city  is burnt with fire.' 
24O 038:024 And Zedekiah saith unto Jeremiah, `Let no man know of  these words, and thou dost not die; 
24O 038:025 and when the heads hear that I have spoken with thee, and  they have come in unto thee, and have said unto thee, Declare  to us, we pray thee, what thou didst speak unto the king, do  not hide [it] from us, and we do not put thee to death, and  what the king spake unto thee, 
24O 038:026 then thou hast said unto them, I am causing my  supplication to fall before the king, not to cause me to return  to the house of Jonathan, to die there.' 
24O 038:027 And all the heads come in unto Jeremiah, and ask him, and  he declareth to them according to all these words that the king  commanded, and they keep silent from him, for the matter was  not heard; 
24O 038:028 and Jeremiah dwelleth in the court of the prison till the  day that Jerusalem hath been captured, and he was [there] when  Jerusalem was captured. 
24O 039:001 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth  month, come hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his  force unto Jerusalem, and they lay siege against it; 
24O 039:002 in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, in  the ninth of the month, hath the city been broken up; 
24O 039:003 and come in do all the heads of the king of Babylon, and  they sit at the middle gate, Nergal-Sharezer, Samgar-Nebo,  Sarsechim, chief of the eunuchs, Nergal-Sharezer, chief of the  Mages, and all the rest of the heads of the king of Babylon. 
24O 039:004 And it cometh to pass, when Zedekiah king of Judah, and all  the men of war, have seen them, that they flee and go forth by  night from the city, the way of the king's garden, through the  gate between the two walls, and he goeth forth the way of the  plain. 
24O 039:005 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after them, and  overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and they take him,  and bring him up unto Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to  Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh with him --  judgments. 
24O 039:006 And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah,  in Riblah, before his eyes, yea, all the freemen of Judah hath  the king of Babylon slaughtered. 
24O 039:007 And the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth  him with brazen fetters, to bring him in to Babylon. 
24O 039:008 And the house of the king, and the house of the people,  have the Chaldeans burnt with fire, and the walls of Jerusalem  they have broken down. 
24O 039:009 And the remnant of the people who are left in the city, and  those falling who have fallen to him, and the remnant of the  people who are left, hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the  executioners, removed [to] Babylon. 
24O 039:010 And of the poor people, who have nothing, hath  Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, left in the land of  Judah, and he giveth to them vineyards and fields on the same  day. 
24O 039:011 And Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon giveth a charge  concerning Jeremiah, by the hand of Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the  executioners, saying, 
24O 039:012 `Take him, and place thine eyes upon him, and do no evil  thing to him, but as he speaketh unto thee, so do with him.' 
24O 039:013 And Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners sendeth, and  Nebushazban, chief of the eunuchs, and Nergal-Sharezer, chief  of the Mages, and all the chiefs of the king of Babylon; 
24O 039:014 yea, they send and take Jeremiah out of the court of the  prison, and give him unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of  Shaphan, to carry him home, and he dwelleth in the midst of the  people. 
24O 039:015 And unto Jeremiah hath a word of Jehovah been -- in his  being detained in the court of the prison -- saying: 
24O 039:016 `Go, and thou hast spoken to Ebed-Melech the Cushite,  saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am  bringing in My words unto this city for evil, and not for good,  and they have been before thee in that day. 
24O 039:017 And I have delivered thee in that day -- an affirmation of  Jehovah -- and thou art not given into the hand of the men of  whose face thou art afraid, 
24O 039:018 for I do certainly deliver thee, and by sword thou fallest  not, and thy life hath been to thee for a spoil, for thou hast  trusted in Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 040:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, after  Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, hath sent him from  Ramah, in his taking him -- and he a prisoner in chains -- in  the midst of all the removal of Jerusalem and of Judah, who are  removed to Babylon. 
24O 040:002 And the chief of the executioners taketh Jeremiah, and  saith unto him, `Jehovah thy God hath spoken this evil  concerning this place, 
24O 040:003 and Jehovah bringeth [it] in, and doth as He spake, because  ye have sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened to His  voice, even this thing hath been to you. 
24O 040:004 `And now, lo, I have loosed thee to-day from the chains  that [are] on thy hand; if good in thine eyes to come with me  [to] Babylon, come, and I keep mine eye upon thee: and if evil  in thine eyes to come with me to Babylon, forbear; see, all the  land [is] before thee, whither [it be] good, and whither [it  be] right in thine eyes to go -- go.' -- 
24O 040:005 and while he doth not reply -- `Or turn back unto Gedaliah  son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath  appointed over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him in the  midst of the people, or whithersoever it is right in thine eyes  to go -- go.' And the chief of the executioners giveth to him  for the way, and a gift, and sendeth him away, 
24O 040:006 and Jeremiah cometh in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to  Mizpah, and dwelleth with him, in the midst of the people who  are left in the land. 
24O 040:007 And all the heads of the forces that [are] in the field  hear, they and their men, that the king of Babylon hath  appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam over the land, and that he  hath charged him [with] men, and women, and infants, and of the  poor of the land, of those who have not been removed to  Babylon; 
24O 040:008 and they come in unto Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael son  of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan sons of Kareah, and  Seraiah son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the  Netophathite, and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and  their men. 
24O 040:009 And swear to them doth Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of  Shaphan, and to their men, saying, `Be not afraid of serving  the Chaldeans, abide in the land, and serve the king of  Babylon, and it is well for you; 
24O 040:010 and I, lo, I am dwelling in Mizpah, to stand before the  Chaldeans who are come in unto us, and ye, gather ye wine, and  summer fruit, and oil, and put in your vessels, and dwell in  your cities that ye have taken.' 
24O 040:011 And also all the Jews who [are] in Moab, and among the  sons of Ammon, and in Edom, and who [are] in all the lands,  have heard that the king of Babylon hath given a remnant to  Judah, and that he hath appointed over them Gedaliah son of  Ahikam, son of Shaphan, 
24O 040:012 and all the Jews from all the places whither they have  been driven, turn back and enter the land of Judah, unto  Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and they gather wine and summer fruit --  very much. 
24O 040:013 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces  that [are] in the field, have come in unto Gedaliah to Mizpah, 
24O 040:014 and they say unto him, `Dost thou really know that Baalis  king of the sons of Ammon hath sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to  smite thy soul?' And Gedaliah son of Ahikam hath not given to  them credence. 
24O 040:015 And Johanan son of Kareah hath spoken unto Gedaliah in  secret, in Mizpah, saying, `Let me go, I pray thee, and I smite  Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and no one doth know; why doth he  smite thy soul? and scattered have been all Judah who are  gathered unto thee, and perished hath the remnant of Judah.' 
24O 040:016 And Gedaliah son of Ahikam saith unto Johanan son of  Kareah, `Thou dost not do this thing, for falsehood thou art  speaking concerning Ishmael.' 
24O 041:001 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh month, come hath  Ishmael son of Nethaniah, son of Elishama, of the seed royal,  and of the chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, unto  Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and they eat there bread  together in Mizpah. 
24O 041:002 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah riseth, and the ten men who  have been with him, and they smite Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son  of Shaphan, with the sword, and he putteth him to death whom  the king of Babylon hath appointed over the land. 
24O 041:003 And all the Jews who have been with him, with Gedaliah, in  Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who have been found there -- the men  of war -- hath Ishmael smitten. 
24O 041:004 And it cometh to pass, on the second day of the putting of  Gedaliah to death, (and no one hath known,) 
24O 041:005 that men come in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from  Samaria -- eighty men -- with shaven beards, and rent garments,  and cutting themselves, and an offering and frankincense in  their hand, to bring in to the house of Jehovah. 
24O 041:006 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah goeth forth to meet them, from  Mizpah, going on and weeping, and it cometh to pass, at meeting  them, that he saith unto them, `Come in unto Gedaliah son of  Ahikam.' 
24O 041:007 And it cometh to pass, at their coming in unto the midst of  the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah doth slaughter them, at  the midst of the pit, he and the men who [are] with him. 
24O 041:008 And ten men have been found among them, and they say unto  Ishmael, `Do not put us to death, for we have things hidden in  the field -- wheat, and barley, and oil, and honey.' And he  forbeareth, and hath not put them to death in the midst of  their brethren. 
24O 041:009 And the pit whither Ishmael hath cast all the carcases of  the men whom he hath smitten along with Gedaliah, is that which  the king Asa made because of Baasha king of Israel -- it hath  Ishmael son of Nethaniah filled with the pierced. 
24O 041:010 And Ishmael taketh captive all the remnant of the people  who [are] in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the  people who are left in Mizpah, whom Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the  executioners, hath committed [to] Gedaliah son of Ahikam, and  Ishmael son of Nethaniah taketh them captive, and goeth to pass  over unto the sons of Ammon. 
24O 041:011 And hear doth Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of  the forces that [are] with him, of all the evil that Ishmael  son of Nethaniah hath done, 
24O 041:012 and they take all the men, and go to fight with Ishmael  son of Nethaniah, and they find him at the great waters that  [are] in Gibeon. 
24O 041:013 And it cometh to pass, when all the people who [are] with  Ishmael see Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the  forces who [are] with him, that they rejoice. 
24O 041:014 And all the people whom Ishmael hath taken captive from  Mizpah turn round, yea, they turn back, and go unto Johanan son  of Kareah. 
24O 041:015 And Ishmael son of Nethaniah hath escaped, with eight men,  from the presence of Johanan, and he goeth unto the sons of  Ammon. 
24O 041:016 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces  who [are] with him, take all the remnant of the people whom he  hath brought back from Ishmael son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah --  after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam -- mighty ones, men  of war, and women, and infants, and eunuchs, whom he had  brought back from Gibeon, 
24O 041:017 and they go and abide in the habitations of Chimham, that  [are] near Beth-Lehem, to go to enter Egypt, 
24O 041:018 from the presence of the Chaldeans, for they have been  afraid of them, for Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten  Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had appointed  over the land. 
24O 042:001 And they come nigh -- all the heads of the forces, and  Johanan son of Kareah, and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all  the people from the least even unto the greatest -- 
24O 042:002 and they say unto Jeremiah the prophet, `Let, we pray thee,  our supplication fall before thee, and pray for us unto Jehovah  thy God, for all this remnant; for we have been left a few out  of many, as thine eyes do see us; 
24O 042:003 and Jehovah thy God doth declare to us the way in which we  walk, and the thing that we do.' 
24O 042:004 And Jeremiah the prophet saith unto them, `I have heard:  lo, I am praying unto Jehovah your God according to your words,  and it hath come to pass, the whole word that Jehovah answereth  you, I declare to you -- I do not withhold from you a word.' 
24O 042:005 And they have said to Jeremiah, `Jehovah is against us for  a witness true and faithful, if -- according to all the word  with which Jehovah thy God doth send thee unto us -- we do not  so. 
24O 042:006 Whether good or evil, to the voice of Jehovah our God, to  whom we are sending thee, we do hearken; because it is good for  us when we hearken to the voice of Jehovah our God.' 
24O 042:007 And it cometh to pass, at the end of ten days, that there  is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah, 
24O 042:008 and he calleth unto Johanan son of Kareah, and unto all the  heads of the forces that [are] with him, and to all the people,  from the least even unto the greatest, 
24O 042:009 and he saith unto them, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel,  unto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall before  Him: 
24O 042:010 `If ye do certainly dwell in this land, then I have  builded you up, and I throw not down; and I have planted you,  and I pluck not up; for I have repented concerning the evil  that I have done to you. 
24O 042:011 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, whom ye are afraid  of; be not afraid of him -- an affirmation of Jehovah -- for  with you [am] I, to save you, and to deliver you from his hand. 
24O 042:012 And I give to you mercies, and he hath pitied you, and  caused you to turn back unto your own ground. 
24O 042:013 `And if ye are saying, We do not dwell in this land -- not  to hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, 
24O 042:014 saying, No; but the land of Egypt we enter, that we see no  war, and the sound of a trumpet do not hear, and for bread be  not hungry; and there do we dwell. 
24O 042:015 And now, therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, O remnant  of Judah: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: If ye  really set your faces to enter Egypt, and have gone in to  sojourn there, 
24O 042:016 then it hath come to pass, the sword that ye are afraid  of, doth there overtake you, in the land of Egypt; and the  hunger, because of which ye are sorrowful, doth there cleave  after you in Egypt, and there ye die. 
24O 042:017 `Thus are all the men who have set their faces to enter  Egypt to sojourn there; they die -- by sword, by hunger, and by  pestilence, and there is not to them a remnant and an escaped  one, because of the evil that I am bringing in upon them; 
24O 042:018 for thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: As poured  out hath been Mine anger and My fury on the inhabitants of  Jerusalem, so poured out is My fury upon you in your entering  Egypt, and ye have been for an execration, and for an  astonishment, and for a reviling, and for a reproach, and ye do  not see any more this place. 
24O 042:019 `Jehovah hath spoken against you, O remnant of Judah, do  not enter Egypt: know certainly that I have testified against  you to-day; 
24O 042:020 for ye have shewed yourselves perverse in your souls, for  ye sent me unto Jehovah your God, saying, Pray for us unto  Jehovah our God, and according to all that Jehovah our God  saith, so declare to us, and we have done [it]; 
24O 042:021 and I declare to you to-day, and ye have not hearkened to  the voice of Jehovah your God, and to anything with which He  hath sent me unto you. 
24O 042:022 And now, know ye certainly that by sword, by famine, and  by pestilence ye die, in the place that ye have desired to go  in to sojourn there.' 
24O 043:001 And it cometh to pass, when Jeremiah doth finish to speak  unto all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, with  which Jehovah their God hath sent him unto them -- all these  words -- 
24O 043:002 that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah,  and all the proud men, speak unto Jeremiah, saying, `Falsehood  thou art speaking; Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say,  Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there; 
24O 043:003 for Baruch son of Neriah is moving thee against us, in  order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us  to death, and to remove us to Babylon.' 
24O 043:004 And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces,  and all the people, have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah,  to dwell in the land of Judah; 
24O 043:005 and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces,  take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the  nations whither they were driven to sojourn in the land of  Judah, 
24O 043:006 the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters  of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the  executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of  Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah, 
24O 043:007 and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not  hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and they enter unto  Tahpanhes. 
24O 043:008 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes,  saying, 
24O 043:009 `Take in thy hand great stones, and thou hast hidden them,  in the clay, in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the  house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of  Judah, 
24O 043:010 and thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts,  God of Israel: `Lo, I am sending, and I have taken  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his  throne above these stones that I have hid, and he hath  stretched out his pavilion over them, 
24O 043:011 and he hath come, and smitten the land of Egypt -- those  who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity  to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword. 
24O 043:012 And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of  Egypt, and it hath burned them, and he hath taken them captive,  and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as cover himself  doth the shepherd with his garment, and he hath gone forth  thence in peace; 
24O 043:013 and he hath broken the standing pillars of the house of  the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the  gods of Egypt he doth burn with fire.' 
24O 044:001 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah concerning all the  Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt -- who are dwelling  in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of  Pathros -- saying, 
24O 044:002 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Ye -- ye have  seen all the evil that I have brought in on Jerusalem, and on  all the cities of Judah, and lo, they [are] a waste this day,  and there is none dwelling in them, 
24O 044:003 because of their wickedness that they have done, by  provoking Me to anger, by going to make perfume, by serving  other gods, that they knew not, they, ye, and your fathers. 
24O 044:004 `And I send unto you all my servants, the prophets, rising  early and sending, saying: I pray you, do not this abomination  that I have hated -- 
24O 044:005 and they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, to turn  back from their wickedness, not to make perfume to other gods, 
24O 044:006 and poured out is My fury, and Mine anger, and it burneth  in cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, and they are  for a waste, for a desolation, as [at] this day. 
24O 044:007 `And, now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Why  are ye doing great evil unto your own souls, to cut off to you  man and woman, infant and suckling, from the midst of Judah, so  as not to leave to you a remnant: 
24O 044:008 by provoking Me to anger by the works of your hands, by  making perfume to other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye  are going in to sojourn, so as to cut yourselves off, and so as  to your being for a reviling and for a reproach among all  nations of the earth? 
24O 044:009 `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, that they have done in the land of Judah, and in streets  of Jerusalem? 
24O 044:010 They have not been humbled unto this day, nor have they  been afraid, nor have they walked in My law, and in My  statutes, that I have set before you and before your fathers. 
24O 044:011 `Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo,  I am setting my face against you for evil, even to cut off all  Judah, 
24O 044:012 and I have taken the remnant of Judah, who have set their  faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they  have all been consumed in the land of Egypt; they fall by  sword, by famine they are consumed, from the least even unto  the greatest, by sword and by famine they die, and they have  been for an execration, for an astonishment, and for a  reviling, and for a reproach. 
24O 044:013 `And I have seen after those dwelling in the land of  Egypt, as I saw after Jerusalem, with sword, with famine, and  with pestilence, 
24O 044:014 and there is not an escaped and remaining one of the  remnant of Judah, who are entering into the land of Egypt to  sojourn there, even to turn back to the land of Judah, whither  they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell, for they do  not turn back, except those escaping.' 
24O 044:015 And they answer Jeremiah -- all the men who are knowing  that their wives are making perfume to other gods, and all the  women who are remaining, a great assembly, even all the people  who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros -- saying: 
24O 044:016 `The word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of  Jehovah -- we are not hearkening unto thee; 
24O 044:017 for we certainly do everything that hath gone out of our  mouth, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour  out to her libations, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our  kings, and our heads, in cities of Judah, and in streets of  Jerusalem, and -- we are satisfied with bread, and we are well,  and evil we have not seen. 
24O 044:018 `And from the time we have ceased to make perfume to the  queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her libations, we have  lacked all, and by sword and by famine we have been consumed, 
24O 044:019 and when we are making perfume to the queen of the  heavens, and pouring out to her libations -- without our  husbands have we made for her cakes to idolize her, and to pour  out to her libations?' 
24O 044:020 And Jeremiah saith unto all the people, concerning the men  and concerning the women, and concerning all the people who are  answering him, saying: 
24O 044:021 `The perfume that ye made in the cities of Judah, and in  the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and  your heads, and the people of the land, hath not Jehovah  remembered it? yea, it cometh up on His heart. 
24O 044:022 And Jehovah is not able any more to accept [you], because  of the evil of your doings, because of the abominations that ye  have done, and your land is for a waste, and for an  astonishment, and for a reviling, without inhabitant, as [at]  this day. 
24O 044:023 `Because that ye have made perfume, and because ye have  sinned against Jehovah, and have not hearkened to the voice of  Jehovah, and in His law, and in His statutes, and in His  testimonies ye have not walked, therefore hath this evil met  you as [at] this day.' 
24O 044:024 And Jeremiah saith unto all the people, and unto all the  women, `Hear ye a word of Jehovah, all Judah who [are] in the  land of Egypt, 
24O 044:025 Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, saying: Ye and  your wives both speak with your mouth, and with your hands have  fulfilled, saying: We certainly execute our vows that we have  vowed, to make perfume to the queen of the heavens, and to pour  out to her libations, ye do certainly establish your vows, and  certainly execute your vows. 
24O 044:026 `Therefore, hear ye a word of Jehovah, all Judah who are  dwelling in the land of Egypt: Lo, I -- I have sworn by My  great name, said Jehovah, My name is no more proclaimed by the  mouth of any man of Judah, saying, Live doth the Lord Jehovah  -- in all the land of Egypt. 
24O 044:027 Lo, I am watching over them for evil, and not for good,  and consumed have been all the men of Judah who [are] in the  land of Egypt, by sword and by famine, till their consumption. 
24O 044:028 `And the escaped of the sword turn back out of the land of  Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number, and known have all  the remnant of Judah who are coming into the land of Egypt to  sojourn there, whose word is established, Mine or theirs. 
24O 044:029 `And this [is] to you the sign -- an affirmation of  Jehovah -- that I am seeing after you in this place, so that ye  know that My words are certainly established against you for  evil; 
24O 044:030 Thus said Jehovah, Lo, I am giving Pharaoh-Hophra king of  Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of those  seeking his life, as I have given Zedekiah king of Judah into  the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and who  is seeking his life.' 
24O 045:001 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath spoken unto Baruch  son of Neriah, in his writing these words on a book from the  mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of  Josiah king of Judah, saying: 
24O 045:002 `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning thee, O  Baruch: 
24O 045:003 `Thou hast said, Wo to me, now, for Jehovah hath added  sorrow to my pain, I have been wearied with my sighing, and  rest I have not found. 
24O 045:004 Thus dost thou say unto him: Thus said Jehovah: Lo, that  which I have built I am throwing down, and that which I have  planted I am plucking up, even the whole land itself. 
24O 045:005 And thou -- thou seekest for thee great things -- do not  seek, for lo, I am bringing in evil on all flesh -- an  affirmation of Jehovah -- and I have given to thee thy life for  a spoil, in all places whither thou goest.' 
24O 046:001 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the  prophet concerning the nations, 
24O 046:002 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of  Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year  of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: 
24O 046:003 `Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to  battle. 
24O 046:004 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station  yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats  of mail. 
24O 046:005 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed -- They are turned  backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a  refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round  about -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 046:006 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward,  by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen. 
24O 046:007 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his  waters shake themselves! 
24O 046:008 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake  themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy  the city and the inhabitants in it. 
24O 046:009 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go  forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud  handling -- treading the bow. 
24O 046:010 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of  vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath  devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from  their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts,  In the land of the north, by the river Phrat. 
24O 046:011 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of  Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is  none for thee. 
24O 046:012 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled  the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together  they have fallen -- both of them!' 
24O 046:013 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the  prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of  Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt: 
24O 046:014 `Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in  Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for  thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee, 
24O 046:015 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not  stood, because Jehovah thrust him away. 
24O 046:016 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon  his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our  people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the  oppressing sword. 
24O 046:017 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a  desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time. 
24O 046:018 I live -- an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts  [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as  Carmel by the sea -- he cometh in, 
24O 046:019 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of  Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up,  without inhabitant. 
24O 046:020 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth  come into her. 
24O 046:021 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the  stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they  have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on  them, The time of their inspection. 
24O 046:022 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go,  And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees. 
24O 046:023 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah  -- for it is not searched, For they have been more than the  grasshopper, And they have no numbering. 
24O 046:024 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been  given into the hand of the people of the north. 
24O 046:025 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing  after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after  her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after  those trusting in him, 
24O 046:026 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their  life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And  into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited,  As [in] days of old -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 046:027 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art]  thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar,  And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath  turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there  is none disturbing. 
24O 046:028 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation  of Jehovah -- for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all  the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not  make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not  entirely acquit thee!' 
24O 047:001 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah  concerning the Philistines, before Pharaoh smiteth Gaza: 
24O 047:002 `Thus said Jehovah: Lo, waters are coming up from the  north, And have been for an overflowing stream, And they  overflow the land and its fulness, The city, and the  inhabitants in it, And men have cried out, And howled hath  every inhabitant of the land. 
24O 047:003 From the sound of the stamping of the hoofs of his mighty  ones, From the rushing of his chariot, the noise of his wheels,  Fathers have not turned unto sons, From feebleness of hands, 
24O 047:004 Because of the day that hath come to spoil all the  Philistines, To cut off to Tyre and to Zidon every helping  remnant. For Jehovah is spoiling the Philistines, The remnant  of the isle of Caphtor. 
24O 047:005 Come hath baldness unto Gaza, Cut off hath been Ashkelon, O  remnant of their valley, Till when dost thou cut thyself? 
24O 047:006 Ho, sword of Jehovah, till when art thou not quiet? Be  removed unto thy sheath, rest and cease. 
24O 047:007 How shall it be quiet, And Jehovah hath given a charge to  it, Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? There hath He  appointed it!' 
24O 048:001 Concerning Moab: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of  Israel: Wo unto Nebo, for it is spoiled, Put to shame, captured  hath been Kiriathaim, Put to shame hath been the high tower,  Yea, it hath been broken down. 
24O 048:002 There is no more praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised  against it evil: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation,  Also, O Madmen, thou art cut off, After thee goeth a sword. 
24O 048:003 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great  destruction. 
24O 048:004 Destroyed hath been Moab, Caused a cry to be heard have her  little ones. 
24O 048:005 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Go up doth weeping,  For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries a cry of desolation  have heard. 
24O 048:006 Flee ye, deliver yourselves, Ye are as a naked thing in a  wilderness. 
24O 048:007 For, because of thy trusting in thy works, And in thy  treasures, even thou art captured, And gone out hath Chemosh in  a removal, His priests and his heads together. 
24O 048:008 And come in doth a spoiler unto every city, And no city  doth escape, And perished hath the valley, And destroyed been  the plain, as Jehovah said. 
24O 048:009 Give wings to Moab, for she utterly goeth out, And her  cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them. 
24O 048:010 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of Jehovah  slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword  from blood. 
24O 048:011 Secure is Moab from his youth, And at rest [is] he for his  preserved things, And he hath not been emptied out from vessel  unto vessel, And into captivity he hath not gone, Therefore  hath his taste remained in him, And his fragrance hath not been  changed. 
24O 048:012 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And I have sent to him wanderers, And they have caused him to  wander, And his vessels they empty out, And his bottles they  dash in pieces. 
24O 048:013 And ashamed hath been Moab because of Chemosh, As the  house of Israel have been ashamed Because of Beth-El their  confidence. 
24O 048:014 How do ye say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for  battle? 
24O 048:015 Spoiled is Moab, and her cities hath one gone up, And the  choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An  affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
24O 048:016 Near is the calamity of Moab to come, And his affliction  hath hasted exceedingly. 
24O 048:017 Bemoan for him, all ye round about him, And all knowing  his name, say ye: How hath it been broken, the staff of  strength, The rod of beauty. 
24O 048:018 Come down from honour, sit in thirst, O inhabitant,  daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab hath come up to thee,  He hath destroyed thy fenced places. 
24O 048:019 On the way stand, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask  the fugitive and escaped, Say, What hath happened? 
24O 048:020 Put to shame hath been Moab, For it hath been broken down,  Howl and cry, declare ye in Arnon, For spoiled is Moab, 
24O 048:021 And judgment hath come in unto the land of the plain --  unto Holon, And unto Jahazah, and on Mephaath, 
24O 048:022 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on  Kirathaim, 
24O 048:023 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon, 
24O 048:024 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the  land of Moab, The far off and the near. 
24O 048:025 Cut down hath been the horn of Moab, And his arm hath been  broken, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 048:026 Declare ye him drunk, For against Jehovah he made himself  great And Moab hath stricken in his vomit, And he hath been for  a derision -- even he. 
24O 048:027 And was not Israel the derision to thee? Among thieves was  he found? For since thy words concerning him, Thou dost bemoan  thyself. 
24O 048:028 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, Ye inhabitants of  Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit's  mouth. 
24O 048:029 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceeding proud!  His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the  height of his heart, 
24O 048:030 I -- I have known, an affirmation of Jehovah, His wrath,  and [it is] not right, His devices -- not right they have done. 
24O 048:031 Therefore for Moab I howl, even for Moab -- all of it, I  cry for men of Kir-Heres, it doth mourn, 
24O 048:032 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for thee, O vine of  Sibmah, Thy branches have passed over a sea, Unto the sea of  Jazer they have come, On thy summer fruits, and on thy harvest,  A spoiler hath fallen. 
24O 048:033 And removed hath been joy and gladness From the fruitful  field, Even from the land of Moab, And wine from wine-presses I  have caused to cease, Shouting doth not proceed, The shouting  [is] no shouting! 
24O 048:034 Because of the cry of Heshbon unto Elealeh, Unto Jahaz  they have given their voice, From Zoar unto Horonaim, A heifer  of the third [year], For even waters of Nimrim become  desolations. 
24O 048:035 And I have caused to cease to Moab, An affirmation of  Jehovah, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is  making perfume to his god. 
24O 048:036 Therefore my heart for Moab as pipes doth sound, And my  heart for men of Kir-Heres As pipes doth sound, Therefore the  abundance he made did perish. 
24O 048:037 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On  all hands cuttings, and on the loins -- sackcloth. 
24O 048:038 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it  -- [is] lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in  which there is no pleasure, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 048:039 How hath it been broken down! they have howled, How hath  Moab turned the neck ashamed, And Moab hath been for a  derision. And for a terror to all round about her. 
24O 048:040 For thus said Jehovah: Lo, as an eagle he doth flee, And  hath spread his wings unto Moab. 
24O 048:041 Captured have been the cities, And the strongholds are  caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Hath been in that  day as the heart of a distressed woman. 
24O 048:042 And Moab hath been destroyed from [being] a people, For  against Jehovah he exerted himself. 
24O 048:043 Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [are] for thee, O inhabitant  of Moab -- an affirmation of Jehovah, 
24O 048:044 Whoso is fleeing because of the fear falleth into the  snare, And whoso is coming up from the snare is captured by the  gin, For I bring in unto her -- unto Moab -- The year of their  inspection, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 048:045 In the shadow of Heshbon stood powerless have fugitives,  For fire hath gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within  Sihon, And it consumeth the corner of Moab, And the crown of  the sons of Shaon. 
24O 048:046 Wo to thee, O Moab, Perished hath the people of Chemosh,  For thy sons were taken with the captives, And thy daughters  with the captivity. 
24O 048:047 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the  latter end of the days, An affirmation of Jehovah! Hitherto  [is] the judgment of Moab. 
24O 049:001 Concerning the sons of Ammon: `Thus said Jehovah: Sons --  hath Israel none? heir -- hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam  possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt? 
24O 049:002 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of  battle, And it hath been for a heap -- a desolation, And her  daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its  heirs, Said hath Jehovah. 
24O 049:003 Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah,  gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For  Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes  together. 
24O 049:004 What -- dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy  valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her  treasures: Who doth come in unto me? 
24O 049:005 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye  have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer  of the wandering. 
24O 049:006 And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of  Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.' 
24O 049:007 Concerning Edom: `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no  more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent?  Vanished hath their wisdom? 
24O 049:008 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For  the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I  inspected him. 
24O 049:009 If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave  gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their  sufficiency! 
24O 049:010 For I -- I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his  secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is]  his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not. 
24O 049:011 Leave thine orphans -- I do keep alive, And thy widows --  on Me trust ye, 
24O 049:012 For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink  of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is  entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly  drinkest. 
24O 049:013 For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah,  That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a  reviling -- is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes  age-during. 
24O 049:014 A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador  among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against  her, And rise ye for battle. 
24O 049:015 For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised  among men. 
24O 049:016 Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy  heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place  of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From  thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 049:017 And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her  is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues. 
24O 049:018 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its  neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn  in her doth a son of man. 
24O 049:019 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the  Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I  cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning  her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me?  And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me? 
24O 049:020 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath  counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath  devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do  not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he  not their habitation? 
24O 049:021 From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The  cry -- at the sea of Suph is its voice heard. 
24O 049:022 Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth  his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath  been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!' 
24O 049:023 Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad,  For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in  the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able. 
24O 049:024 Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear  strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a  travailing woman. 
24O 049:025 How is it not left -- the city of praise, The city of my  joy! 
24O 049:026 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And  all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts. 
24O 049:027 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus,  And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!' 
24O 049:028 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor,  that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: `Thus said  Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of  the east. 
24O 049:029 Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains,  and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for  themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round  about. 
24O 049:030 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of  Hazor -- an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against  you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth  against them a device. 
24O 049:031 Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling  confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved  doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell. 
24O 049:032 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude  of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every  wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its  passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 049:033 And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A  desolation -- unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor  sojourn in it doth a son of man!' 
24O 049:034 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the  prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of  Zedekiah king of Judah, saying: 
24O 049:035 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of  Elam, The beginning of their might. 
24O 049:036 And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four  ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these  winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not  in. 
24O 049:037 And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And  before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against  them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed  them; 
24O 049:038 And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed  thence King and princes -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 049:039 And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I  turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of  Jehovah!' 
24O 050:001 The word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Babylon,  concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah  the prophet: 
24O 050:002 `Declare ye among nations, and sound, And lift up an  ensign, sound, do not hide, Say ye: Captured hath been Babylon,  Put to shame hath been Bel, Broken hath been Merodach, Put to  shame have been her grievous things, Broken have been her  idols. 
24O 050:003 For come up against her hath a nation from the north, It  maketh her land become a desolation, And there is not an  inhabitant in it. From man even unto beast, They have moved,  they have gone. 
24O 050:004 In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of Jehovah,  Come in do sons of Israel, They and sons of Judah together,  Going on and weeping they go, And Jehovah their God they seek. 
24O 050:005 [To] Zion they ask the way, Thitherward [are] their faces:  Come in, and we are joined unto Jehovah, A covenant age-during  -- not forgotten. 
24O 050:006 A perishing flock hath My people been, Their shepherds have  caused them to err, [To] the mountains causing them to go back,  From mountain unto hill they have gone, They have forgotten  their crouching-place. 
24O 050:007 All finding them have devoured them, And their adversaries  have said: We are not guilty, Because that they sinned against  Jehovah, The habitation of righteousness, And the hope of their  fathers -- Jehovah. 
24O 050:008 Move ye from the midst of Babylon, And from the land of the  Chaldeans go out. And be as he-goats before a flock. 
24O 050:009 For, lo, I am stirring up, And am causing to come up  against Babylon, An assembly of great nations from a land of  the north, And they have set in array against her, From thence  she is captured, Its arrow -- as a skilful hero -- returneth  not empty, 
24O 050:010 And Chaldea hath been for a spoil, All her spoilers are  satisfied, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 050:011 Because thou rejoicest, because thou exultest, O spoilers  of Mine inheritance, Because thou increasest as a heifer [at]  the tender grass, And dost cry aloud as bulls, 
24O 050:012 Ashamed hath been your mother greatly, Confounded hath she  been that bare you, Lo, the hindermost of nations [is] a  wilderness, A dry land, and a desert. 
24O 050:013 Because of the wrath of Jehovah it is not inhabited, And  it hath been a desolation -- all of it. Every passer by at  Babylon is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her  plagues. 
24O 050:014 Set yourselves in array against Babylon round about, All  ye treading a bow, Shoot at her, have no pity on the arrow, For  against Jehovah she hath sinned. 
24O 050:015 Shout against her round about, She hath given forth her  hand, Fallen have her foundations, Thrown down have been her  walls, For it [is] the vengeance of Jehovah, Be avenged of her,  as she did -- do ye to her. 
24O 050:016 Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him handling the  sickle in the time of harvest, Because of the oppressing sword,  Each unto his people -- they turn, And each to his land -- they  flee. 
24O 050:017 A scattered sheep is Israel, lions have driven away, At  first, devour him did the king of Asshur, And now, at last,  broken his bone Hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon. 
24O 050:018 Therefore thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I  am seeing after the king of Babylon, And after his land, As I  have seen after the king of Asshur; 
24O 050:019 And I have brought back Israel unto his habitation, And he  hath fed on Carmel, and on Bashan. And in mount Ephraim, and on  Gilead is his soul satisfied. 
24O 050:020 In those days, and at that time, An affirmation of  Jehovah, Sought is the iniquity of Israel, and it is not, And  the sin of Judah, and it is not found, For I am propitious to  those whom I leave! 
24O 050:021 Against the land of Merathaim: Go up against it, and unto  the inhabitants of Pekod, Waste and devote their posterity, An  affirmation of Jehovah, And do according to all that I have  commanded thee. 
24O 050:022 A noise of battle [is] in the land, and of great  destruction. 
24O 050:023 How hath it been cut and broken, The hammer of the whole  earth! How hath Babylon been for a desolation among nations! 
24O 050:024 I have laid a snare for thee, And also -- thou art  captured, O Babylon, And thou -- thou hast known, Thou hast  been found, and also art caught, For against Jehovah thou hast  stirred thyself up. 
24O 050:025 Jehovah hath opened His treasury, And He bringeth out the  weapons of His indignation, For a work [is] to the Lord Jehovah  of Hosts, In the land of the Chaldeans. 
24O 050:026 Come ye in to her from the extremity, Open ye her  storehouses, Raise her up as heaps, and devote her, Let her  have no remnant. 
24O 050:027 Slay all her kine, they go down to slaughter, Wo [is] on  them, for come hath their day, The time of their inspection. 
24O 050:028 A voice of fugitives and escaped ones [Is] from the land  of Babylon, To declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our  God, The vengeance of His temple. 
24O 050:029 Summon unto Babylon archers, all treading the bow, Encamp  against her round about, Let [her] have no escape; Recompense  to her according to her work, According to all that she did --  do to her, For unto Jehovah she hath been proud, Unto the Holy  One of Israel. 
24O 050:030 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And  all her men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah. 
24O 050:031 Lo, I [am] against thee, O pride, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah of Hosts, For thy day hath come, the time of thy  inspection. 
24O 050:032 And stumbled hath pride, And he hath fallen, and hath no  raiser up, And I have kindled a fire in his cities, And it hath  devoured all round about him. 
24O 050:033 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Oppressed are the sons of  Israel, And the sons of Judah together, And all their captors  have kept hold on them, They have refused to send them away. 
24O 050:034 Their Redeemer [is] strong, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His  name, He doth thoroughly plead their cause, So as to cause the  land to rest, And He hath given trouble to the inhabitants of  Babylon. 
24O 050:035 A sword [is] for the Chaldeans, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And it [is] on the inhabitants of Babylon, And on her heads,  and on her wise men; 
24O 050:036 A sword [is] on the princes, And they have become foolish;  A sword [is] on her mighty ones, And they have been broken  down; 
24O 050:037 A sword [is] on his horses and on his chariot, And on all  the rabble who [are] in her midst, And they have become women;  A sword [is] on her treasuries, And they have been spoiled; 
24O 050:038 A sword [is] on her waters, and they have been dried up,  For it [is] a land of graven images, And in idols they do boast  themselves. 
24O 050:039 Therefore dwell do Ziim with Iim, Yea, dwelt in her have  daughters of the ostrich, And it is not inhabited any more for  ever, Nor dwelt in unto all generations. 
24O 050:040 As overthrown by God with Sodom, And with Gomorrah, and  with its neighbours, An affirmation of Jehovah, none doth dwell  there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man. 
24O 050:041 Lo, a people hath come from the north, Even a great  nation, And many kings are stirred up from the sides of the  earth. 
24O 050:042 Bow and halbert they seize, Cruel [are] they, and they  have no mercy, Their voice as a sea soundeth, and on horses  they ride, Set in array as a man for battle, Against thee, O  daughter of Babylon. 
24O 050:043 Heard hath the king of Babylon their report, And feeble  have been his hands, Distress hath seized him; pain as a  travailing woman. 
24O 050:044 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the  Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I  cause them to run from off her. And who is chosen? on her I lay  a charge, For who [is] like Me? And who doth convene Me? And  who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me? 
24O 050:045 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He  counselled concerning Babylon, And His devices that He hath  devised Concerning the land of the Chaldeans; Drag them out do  not little ones of the flock, Doth He not make desolate over  them the habitation? 
24O 050:046 From the voice: Captured was Babylon, Hath the earth been  shaken, And a cry among nations hath been heard! 
24O 051:001 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up against Babylon,  And the inhabitants of Leb -- My withstanders, A destroying  wind, 
24O 051:002 And I have sent to Babylon fanners, And they have fanned  it, and they empty its land, For they have been against it,  Round about -- in the day of evil. 
24O 051:003 Let not the treader tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in  his coat of mail, Nor have ye pity on her young men, Devote ye  to destruction all her host. 
24O 051:004 And fallen have the wounded in the land of the Chaldeans,  And the pierced-through in her streets. 
24O 051:005 For, not forsaken is Israel and Judah, By its God -- by  Jehovah of Hosts, For their land hath been full of guilt,  Against the Holy One of Israel. 
24O 051:006 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, And deliver ye each his  soul, Be not cut off in its iniquity, For a time of vengeance  it [is] to Jehovah, Recompence He is rendering to her. 
24O 051:007 A golden cup [is] Babylon in the hand of Jehovah, Making  drunk all the earth, Of its wine drunk have nations, Therefore  boast themselves do nations. 
24O 051:008 Suddenly hath Babylon fallen, Yea, it is broken, howl ye  for it, Take balm for her pain, if so be it may be healed. 
24O 051:009 We healed Babylon, and she was not healed, Forsake her, and  we go, each to his land, For come unto the heavens hath its  judgment, And it hath been lifted up unto the clouds. 
24O 051:010 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousnesses, Come, and  we recount in Zion the work of Jehovah our God. 
24O 051:011 Cleanse ye the arrows, fill the shields, Stirred up hath  Jehovah the spirit of the kings of Madia, For against Babylon  His device [is] to destroy it, For the vengeance of Jehovah it  [is], The vengeance of His temple. 
24O 051:012 Unto the walls of Babylon lift up an ensign, Strengthen  the watch, Establish the watchers, prepare the ambush, For  Jehovah hath both devised and done that which He spake,  Concerning the inhabitants of Babylon. 
24O 051:013 O dweller on many waters, abundant in treasures, Come in  hath thine end, the measure of thy dishonest gain. 
24O 051:014 Sworn hath Jehovah of Hosts by Himself, That, Surely I  have filled thee [with] men as the cankerworm, And they have  cried against thee -- shouting. 
24O 051:015 The maker of earth by His power, The establisher of the  world by His wisdom, Who by His understanding stretched out the  heavens, 
24O 051:016 At the voice He giveth forth, A multitude of waters [are]  in the heavens, And He causeth vapours to come up from the end  of the earth, Lightnings for rain He hath made, And He bringeth  out wind from His treasures. 
24O 051:017 Brutish hath been every man by knowledge, Put to shame  hath been every refiner by a graven image, For false [is] his  molten image, And there is no breath in them. 
24O 051:018 Vanity [are] they -- work of errors, In the time of their  inspection they perish. 
24O 051:019 Not like these [is] the portion of Jacob, For He [is]  former of all things, And [Israel is] the rod of His  inheritance, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
24O 051:020 An axe [art] thou to me -- weapons of war, And I have  broken in pieces by thee nations, And I have destroyed by thee  kingdoms, 
24O 051:021 And I have broken in pieces by thee horse and its rider,  And I have broken in pieces by thee chariot and its charioteer, 
24O 051:022 And I have broken in pieces by thee man and woman, And I  have broken in pieces by thee old and young, And I have broken  in pieces by thee young man and virgin, 
24O 051:023 And I have broken in pieces by thee shepherd and his  drove, And I have broken in pieces by thee husbandman and his  team, And I have broken in pieces by thee governors and  prefects. 
24O 051:024 And I have recompensed to Babylon, And to all inhabitants  of Chaldea, All the evil that they have done in Zion, Before  your eyes -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 051:025 Lo, I [am] against thee, O destroying mount, An  affirmation of Jehovah, That is destroying all the earth, And I  have stretched out My hand against thee, And I have rolled thee  from the rocks, And given thee for a burnt mountain. 
24O 051:026 And they take not out of thee a stone for a corner, And a  stone for foundations, For desolations age-during art thou, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 051:027 Lift ye up an ensign in the land, Blow a trumpet among  nations, Sanctify against it nations, Summon against it the  kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, Appoint against it an  infant head, Cause the horse to ascend as the rough cankerworm. 
24O 051:028 Sanctify against it the nations with the kings of Media,  Its governors and all its prefects, And all the land of its  dominion. 
24O 051:029 And shake doth the land, and it is pained, For stood  against Babylon have the purposes of Jehovah, To make the land  of Babylon a desolation without inhabitant. 
24O 051:030 Ceased have the mighty of Babylon to fight, They have  remained in strongholds, Failed hath their might, they have  become woman, They have burnt her tabernacles, Broken have been  her bars. 
24O 051:031 Runner to meet runner doth run, And announcer to meet  announcer, To announce to the king of Babylon, For, captured  hath been his city -- at the extremity. 
24O 051:032 And the passages have been captured, And the reeds they  have burnt with fire, And the men of war have been troubled. 
24O 051:033 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, The  daughter of Babylon [is] as a threshing-floor, The time of her  threshing -- yet a little, And come hath the time of her  harvest. 
24O 051:034 Devoured us, crushed us, hath Nebuchadrezzar king of  Babylon, He hath set us [as] an empty vessel, He hath swallowed  us as a dragon, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, He  hath driven us away. 
24O 051:035 My wrong, and [that of] my flesh [is] on Babylon, Say doth  the inhabitant of Zion, And my blood [is] on the inhabitants of  Chaldea, Say doth Jerusalem. 
24O 051:036 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am pleading thy cause,  And I have avenged thy vengeance, And dried up its sea, and  made its fountains dry. 
24O 051:037 And Babylon hath been for heaps, A habitation of dragons,  An astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant. 
24O 051:038 Together as young lions they roar, They have shaken  themselves as lions' whelps. 
24O 051:039 In their heat I make their banquets, And I have caused  them to drink, so that they exult, And have slept a sleep  age-during, And awake not -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 051:040 I cause them to go down as lambs to slaughter, As rams  with he-goats. 
24O 051:041 How hath Sheshach been captured, Yea, caught is the praise  of the whole earth, How hath Babylon been for an astonishment  among nations. 
24O 051:042 Come up against Babylon hath the sea, With a multitude of  its billows it hath been covered. 
24O 051:043 Its cities have been for a desolation, A dry land, and a  wilderness, A land -- none doth dwell in them, Nor pass over  into them doth a son of man. 
24O 051:044 And I have seen after Bel in Babylon, And I have brought  forth that which he swallowed -- from his mouth, And flow no  more unto him do nations, Also the wall of Babylon hath fallen. 
24O 051:045 Go forth from its midst, O My people, And deliver ye, each  his soul, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah, 
24O 051:046 And lest your heart be tender, And ye be afraid of the  report that is heard in the land, And come in a year hath the  report, And after it in a year the report, And violence [is] in  the land, ruler against ruler; 
24O 051:047 Therefore, lo, days are coming, And I have seen after the  graven images of Babylon. And all its land is ashamed, And all  its pierced ones do fall in its midst. 
24O 051:048 And cried aloud against Babylon Have heavens and earth,  and all that [is] in them, For, from the north come to it do  the spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 051:049 Even Babylon [is] to fall, ye pierced of Israel, Even they  of Babylon have fallen, Ye pierced of all the earth. 
24O 051:050 Ye escaped of the sword, go on, stand not, Remember ye  from afar Jehovah, And let Jerusalem come up on your heart. 
24O 051:051 We have been ashamed, for we heard reproach, Covered hath  shame our faces, For come in have strangers, against the  sanctuaries of the house of Jehovah. 
24O 051:052 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And I have seen after its graven images, And in all its land  groan doth the wounded. 
24O 051:053 Because Babylon goeth up to the heavens, And because it  fenceth the high place of its strength, From Me come into it do  spoilers, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
24O 051:054 A voice of a cry [is] from Babylon, And of great  destruction from the land of the Chaldean. 
24O 051:055 For Jehovah is spoiling Babylon, And hath destroyed out of  it a great voice, And sounded have its billows as many waters,  Given forth a noise hath their voice. 
24O 051:056 For come in against it -- against Babylon -- hath a  spoiler, And captured have been its mighty ones, Broken have  been their bows, For the God of recompences -- Jehovah -- doth  certainly repay. 
24O 051:057 And I have caused its princes to drink, And its wise men,  its governors, And its prefects, and its mighty ones, And they  have slept a sleep age-during, And they awake not -- an  affirmation of the king, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name. 
24O 051:058 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, the wall of Babylon -- The  broad one -- is utterly made bare, And her high gates with fire  are burnt, And peoples labour in vain, And nations in fire, and  have been weary! 
24O 051:059 The word that Jeremiah the prophet hath commanded Seraiah  son of Neriah, son of Maaseiah, in his going with Zedekiah king  of Judah to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign -- and  Seraiah [is] a quiet prince; 
24O 051:060 and Jeremiah writeth all the evil that cometh unto Babylon  on one book -- all these words that are written concerning  Babylon. 
24O 051:061 And Jeremiah saith unto Seraiah, `When thou dost enter  Babylon, then thou hast seen, and hast read all these words, 
24O 051:062 and hast said: Jehovah, Thou, Thou hast spoken concerning  this place, to cut it off, that there is none dwelling in it,  from man even unto cattle, for it is a desolation age-during. 
24O 051:063 And it hath come to pass, when thou dost finish reading  this book, thou dost bind to it a stone, and hast cast it into  the midst of Phrat, 
24O 051:064 and said, Thus sink doth Babylon, and it doth not arise,  because of the evil that I am bringing in against it, and they  have been weary.' Hitherto [are] words of Jeremiah. 
24O 052:001 A son of twenty and one years [is] Zedekiah in his  reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and  the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of  Libnah. 
24O 052:002 and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah,  according to all that Jehoiakim hath done, 
24O 052:003 for, because of the anger of Jehovah, it hath been in  Jerusalem and Judah till He hath cast them from before His  face, and Zedekiah doth rebel against the king of Babylon. 
24O 052:004 And it cometh to pass, in the ninth year of his reign, in  the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, come hath  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon -- he and all his force --  against Jerusalem, and they encamp against it, and build  against it a fortification round about; 
24O 052:005 and the city cometh into siege till the eleventh year of  king Zedekiah. 
24O 052:006 In the fourth month, in the ninth of the month, when the  famine is severe in the city, and there hath been no bread for  the people of the land, 
24O 052:007 then is the city broken up, and all the men of war flee,  and go forth from the city by night, the way of the gate  between the two walls, that [is] by the king's garden -- and  the Chaldeans [are] by the city round about -- and they go the  way of the plain. 
24O 052:008 And the forces of the Chaldeans pursue after the king, and  overtake Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, and all his forces  have been scattered from him, 
24O 052:009 and they capture the king, and bring him up unto the king  of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he speaketh  with him -- judgments. 
24O 052:010 And the king of Babylon slaughtereth the sons of Zedekiah  before his eyes, and also all the princes of Judah hath he  slaughtered in Riblah; 
24O 052:011 and the eyes of Zedekiah he hath blinded, and he bindeth  him in brazen fetters, and the king of Babylon bringeth him to  Babylon, and putteth him in the house of inspection unto the  day of his death. 
24O 052:012 And in the fifth month, in the tenth of the month -- it  [is] the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon  -- come hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners; he hath  stood before the king of Babylon in Jerusalem, 
24O 052:013 and he burneth the house of Jehovah, and the house of the  king, and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house  he hath burned with fire, 
24O 052:014 and all the walls of Jerusalem round about broken down  have all the forces of the Chaldeans that [are] with the chief  of the executioners. 
24O 052:015 And of the poor of the people, and the remnant of the  people who are left in the city, and those who are falling  away, who have fallen unto the king of Babylon, and the remnant  of the multitude, hath Nebuzar-Adan chief of the executioners,  removed; 
24O 052:016 and of the poor of the land hath Nebuzar-Adan, chief of  the executioners, left for vine-dressers and for husbandmen. 
24O 052:017 And the pillars of brass that [are] to the house of  Jehovah, and the bases, and the brasen sea that [is] in the  house of Jehovah, have the Chaldeans broken, and they bear away  all the brass of them to Babylon; 
24O 052:018 and the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the  bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass with which  they minister, they have taken away; 
24O 052:019 and the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the  pots, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups, the  gold of that which [is] gold, and the silver of that which [is]  silver, hath the chief of the executioners taken. 
24O 052:020 The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve brazen oxen  that [are] beneath the bases, that king Solomon made for the  house of Jehovah, there was no weighing of the brass of all  these vessels. 
24O 052:021 As to the pillars, eighteen cubits [is] the height of the  one pillar, and a cord of twelve cubits doth compass it, and  its thickness [is] four fingers hollow. 
24O 052:022 And the chapiter upon it [is] of brass, and the height of  the one chapiter [is] five cubits, and net-work and pomegranates  [are] on the chapiter round about, the whole [is] of brass; and  like these have the second pillar, and pomegranates. 
24O 052:023 And the pomegranates are ninety and six on a side, all the  pomegranates [are] a hundred on the net-work round about. 
24O 052:024 And the chief of the executioners taketh Seraiah the head  priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers  of the threshold, 
24O 052:025 and out of the city he hath taken a certain eunuch, who  hath been inspector over the men of war, and seven men of those  seeing the king's face, who have been found in the city, and  the head scribe of the host, who mustereth the people of the  land, and sixty men of the people of the land, who are found in  the midst of the city; 
24O 052:026 and Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, taketh them,  and bringeth them unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, 
24O 052:027 and the king of Babylon smiteth them, and putteth them to  death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, and he removeth Judah  from off its own ground. 
24O 052:028 This [is] the people whom Nebuchadrezzar hath removed: in  the seventh year, of Jews, three thousand and twenty and three; 
24O 052:029 in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar -- from  Jerusalem, souls, eight hundred thirty and two; 
24O 052:030 in the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar, hath  Nebuzar-Adan chief of the guard removed of Jewish souls, seven  hundred forty and five; all the souls [are] four thousand and  six hundred. 
24O 052:031 And it cometh to pass, in the thirty and seventh year of  the removal of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month,  in the twenty and fifth of the month, hath Evil-Merodach king  of Babylon lifted up, in the year of his reign, the head of  Jehoiachin king of Judah, and bringeth him out from the house  of restraint, 
24O 052:032 and speaketh with him good things, and setteth his throne  above the throne of the kings who [are] with him in Babylon, 
24O 052:033 and he hath changed his prison garments, and he hath eaten  bread before him continually, all the days of his life. 
24O 052:034 And his allowance -- a continual allowance -- hath been  given to him by the king of Babylon, the matter of a day in its  day, till the day of his death -- all days of his life.  
25O 001:001 How hath she sat alone, The city abounding with people! She  hath been as a widow, The mighty among nations! Princes among  provinces, She hath become tributary! 
25O 001:002 She weepeth sore in the night, And her tear [is] on her  cheeks, There is no comforter for her out of all her lovers,  All her friends dealt treacherously by her, They have been to  her for enemies. 
25O 001:003 Removed hath Judah because of affliction, And because of the  abundance of her service; She hath dwelt among nations, She  hath not found rest, All her pursuers have overtaken her  between the straits. 
25O 001:004 The ways of Zion are mourning, Without any coming at the  appointed time, All her gates are desolate, her priests sigh,  Her virgins are afflicted -- and she hath bitterness. 
25O 001:005 Her adversaries have become chief, Her enemies have been at  ease, For Jehovah hath afflicted her, For the abundance of her  transgressions, Her infants have gone captive before the  adversary. 
25O 001:006 And go out from the daughter of Zion doth all her honour,  Her princes have been as harts -- They have not found pasture,  And they go powerless before a pursuer. 
25O 001:007 Remembered hath Jerusalem [In] the days of her affliction  and her mournings, all her desirable things that were from the  days of old, In the falling of her people into the hand of an  adversary, And she hath no helper; Seen her have adversaries,  They have laughed at her cessation. 
25O 001:008 A sin hath Jerusalem sinned, Therefore impure she hath  become, All who honoured her have esteemed her lightly, For  they have seen her nakedness, Yea, she herself hath sighed and  turneth backward. 
25O 001:009 Her uncleanness [is] in her skirts, She hath not remembered  her latter end, And she cometh down wonderfully, There is no  comforter for her. See, O Jehovah, mine affliction, For exerted  himself hath an enemy. 
25O 001:010 His hand spread out hath an adversary On all her desirable  things, For she hath seen -- Nations have entered her  sanctuary, Concerning which Thou didst command, `They do not  come into the assembly to thee.' 
25O 001:011 All her people are sighing -- seeking bread, They have  given their desirable things For food to refresh the body; See,  O Jehovah, and behold attentively, For I have been lightly  esteemed. 
25O 001:012 [Is it] nothing to you, all ye passing by the way? Look  attentively, and see, If there is any pain like my pain, That  He is rolling to me? Whom Jehovah hath afflicted In the day of  the fierceness of His anger. 
25O 001:013 From above He hath sent fire into my bone, And it subdueth  it, He hath spread a net for my feet, He hath turned me  backward, He hath made me desolate -- all the day sick. 
25O 001:014 Bound hath been the yoke of my transgressions by His hand,  They are wrapped together, They have gone up on my neck, He  hath caused my power to stumble, The Lord hath given me into  hands, I am not able to rise. 
25O 001:015 Trodden down all my mighty ones hath the Lord in my midst,  He proclaimed against me an appointed time, To destroy my young  men, A wine-press hath the Lord trodden, To the virgin daughter  of Judah. 
25O 001:016 For these I am weeping, My eye, my eye, is running down  with waters, For, far from me hath been a comforter, Refreshing  my soul, My sons have been desolate, For mighty hath been an  enemy. 
25O 001:017 Spread forth hath Zion her hands, There is no comforter for  her, Jehovah hath charged concerning Jacob, His neighbours  [are] his adversaries, Jerusalem hath become impure among them. 
25O 001:018 Righteous is Jehovah, For His mouth I have provoked. Hear,  I pray you, all ye peoples, and see my pain, My virgins and my  young men have gone into captivity. 
25O 001:019 I called for my lovers, they -- they have deceived me, My  priests and my elders in the city have expired; When they have  sought food for themselves, Then they give back their soul. 
25O 001:020 See, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, My bowels have  been troubled, Turned hath been my heart in my midst, For I  have greatly provoked, From without bereaved hath the sword, In  the house [it is] as death. 
25O 001:021 They have heard that I have sighed, There is no comforter  for me, All my enemies have heard of my calamity, They have  rejoiced that Thou hast done [it], Thou hast brought in the day  Thou hast called, And they are like to me. 
25O 001:022 Come in doth all their evil before Thee, And one is doing  to them as Thou hast done to me, For all my transgressions, For  many [are] my sighs, and my heart [is] sick! 
25O 002:001 How doth the Lord cloud in His anger the daughter of Zion,  He hath cast from heaven [to] earth the beauty of Israel, And  hath not remembered His footstool in the day of His anger. 
25O 002:002 Swallowed up hath the Lord, He hath not pitied any of the  pleasant places of Jacob, He hath broken down in His wrath The  fortresses of the daughter of Judah, He hath caused to come to  the earth, He polluted the kingdom and its princes. 
25O 002:003 He hath cut off in the heat of anger every horn of Israel,  He hath turned backward His right hand From the face of the  enemy, And He burneth against Jacob as a flaming fire, It hath  devoured round about. 
25O 002:004 He hath trodden His bow as an enemy, Stood hath His right  hand as an adversary, And He slayeth all the desirable ones of  the eye, In the tent of the daughter of Zion, He hath poured  out as fire His fury. 
25O 002:005 The Lord hath been as an enemy, He hath swallowed up Israel,  He hath swallowed up all her palaces, He hath destroyed His  fortresses, And He multiplieth in the daughter of Judah  Mourning and moaning. 
25O 002:006 And He shaketh as a garden His tabernacle, He hath destroyed  His appointed place, Jehovah hath forgotten in Zion the  appointed time and sabbath, And despiseth, in the indignation  of His anger, king and priest. 
25O 002:007 The Lord hath cast off His altar, He hath rejected His  sanctuary, He hath shut up into the hand of the enemy The walls  of her palaces, A noise they have made in the house of Jehovah  Like a day of appointment. 
25O 002:008 Devised hath Jehovah to destroy the wall of the daughter of  Zion, He hath stretched out a line, He hath not turned His hand  from destroying, And He causeth bulwark and wall to mourn,  Together -- they have been weak. 
25O 002:009 Sunk into the earth have her gates, He hath destroyed and  broken her bars, Her king and her princes [are] among the  nations, There is no law, also her prophets Have not found  vision from Jehovah. 
25O 002:010 Sit on the earth -- keep silent do the elders of the  daughter of Zion, They have caused dust to go up on their head,  They have girded on sackcloth, Put down to the earth their head  have the virgins of Jerusalem. 
25O 002:011 Consumed by tears have been my eyes, Troubled have been my  bowels, Poured out to the earth hath been my liver, For the  breach of the daughter of my people; In infant and suckling  being feeble, In the broad places of the city, 
25O 002:012 To their mothers they say, `Where [are] corn and wine?' In  their becoming feeble as a pierced one In the broad places of  the city, In their soul pouring itself out into the bosom of  their mothers. 
25O 002:013 What do I testify [to] thee, what do I liken to thee, O  daughter of Jerusalem? What do I equal to thee, and I comfort  thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? For great as a sea [is] thy  breach, Who doth give healing to thee? 
25O 002:014 Thy prophets have seen for thee a false and insipid thing,  And have not revealed concerning thine iniquity, To turn back  thy captivity, And they see for thee false burdens and causes  of expulsion. 
25O 002:015 Clapped hands at thee have all passing by the way, They  have hissed -- and they shake the head At the daughter of  Jerusalem: `Is this the city of which they said: The perfection  of beauty, a joy to all the land?' 
25O 002:016 Opened against thee their mouth have all thine enemies,  They have hissed, yea, they gnash the teeth, They have said:  `We have swallowed [her] up, Surely this [is] the day that we  looked for, We have found -- we have seen.' 
25O 002:017 Jehovah hath done that which He devised, He hath fulfilled  His saying That He commanded from the days of old, He hath  broken down and hath not pitied, And causeth an enemy to  rejoice over thee, He lifted up the horn of thine adversaries. 
25O 002:018 Cried hath their heart unto the Lord; O wall of the  daughter of Zion, Cause to go down as a stream tears daily and  nightly, Give not rest to thyself, Let not the daughter of  thine eye stand still. 
25O 002:019 Arise, cry aloud in the night, At the beginning of the  watches. Pour out as water thy heart, Over against the face of  the Lord, Lift up unto Him thy hands, for the soul of thine  infants, Who are feeble with hunger at the head of all  out-places. 
25O 002:020 See, O Jehovah, and look attentively, To whom Thou hast  acted thus, Do women eat their fruit, infants of a handbreadth?  Slain in the sanctuary of the Lord are priest and prophet? 
25O 002:021 Lain on the earth [in] out-places have young and old, My  virgins and my young men have fallen by the sword, Thou hast  slain in a day of Thine anger, Thou hast slaughtered -- Thou  hast not pitied. 
25O 002:022 Thou dost call as [at] a day of appointment, My fears from  round about, And there hath not been in the day of the anger of  Jehovah, An escaped and remaining one, They whom I stretched  out and nourished, My enemy hath consumed! 
25O 003:001 I [am] the man [who] hath seen affliction By the rod of His  wrath. 
25O 003:002 Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without  light. 
25O 003:003 Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all  the day. 
25O 003:004 He hath worn out my flesh and my skin. He hath broken my  bones. 
25O 003:005 He hath built up against me, And setteth round poverty and  weariness. 
25O 003:006 In dark places He hath caused me to dwell, As the dead of  old. 
25O 003:007 He hath hedged me about, and I go not out, He hath made  heavy my fetter. 
25O 003:008 Also when I call and cry out, He hath shut out my prayer. 
25O 003:009 He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made  crooked. 
25O 003:010 A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret  hiding-places. 
25O 003:011 My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces,  He hath made me a desolation. 
25O 003:012 He hath trodden His bow, And setteth me up as a mark for an  arrow. 
25O 003:013 He hath caused to enter into my reins The sons of His  quiver. 
25O 003:014 I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the  day. 
25O 003:015 He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me  [with] wormwood. 
25O 003:016 And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me  with ashes. 
25O 003:017 And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten  prosperity. 
25O 003:018 And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from  Jehovah. 
25O 003:019 Remember my affliction and my mourning, Wormwood and gall! 
25O 003:020 Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me. 
25O 003:021 This I turn to my heart -- therefore I hope. 
25O 003:022 The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed,  For not ended have His mercies. 
25O 003:023 New every morning, abundant [is] thy faithfulness. 
25O 003:024 My portion [is] Jehovah, hath my soul said, Therefore I  hope for Him. 
25O 003:025 Good [is] Jehovah to those waiting for Him, To the soul  [that] seeketh Him. 
25O 003:026 Good! when one doth stay and stand still For the salvation  of Jehovah. 
25O 003:027 Good for a man that he beareth a yoke in his youth. 
25O 003:028 He sitteth alone, and is silent, For He hath laid [it] upon  him. 
25O 003:029 He putteth in the dust his mouth, if so be there is hope. 
25O 003:030 He giveth to his smiter the cheek, He is filled with  reproach. 
25O 003:031 For the Lord doth not cast off to the age. 
25O 003:032 For though He afflicted, yet He hath pitied, According to  the abundance of His kindness. 
25O 003:033 For He hath not afflicted with His heart, Nor doth He  grieve the sons of men. 
25O 003:034 To bruise under one's feet any bound ones of earth, 
25O 003:035 To turn aside the judgment of a man, Over-against the face  of the Most High, 
25O 003:036 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord hath not approved. 
25O 003:037 Who [is] this -- he hath said, and it is, [And] the Lord  hath not commanded [it]? 
25O 003:038 From the mouth of the Most High Go not forth the evils and  the good. 
25O 003:039 What -- sigh habitually doth a living man, A man for his  sin? 
25O 003:040 We search our ways, and investigate, And turn back unto  Jehovah. 
25O 003:041 We lift up our heart on the hands unto God in the heavens. 
25O 003:042 We -- we have transgressed and rebelled, Thou -- Thou hast  not forgiven. 
25O 003:043 Thou hast covered Thyself with anger, And dost pursue us;  Thou hast slain -- Thou hast not pitied. 
25O 003:044 Thou hast covered Thyself with a cloud, So that prayer doth  not pass through. 
25O 003:045 Offscouring and refuse Thou dost make us In the midst of  the peoples. 
25O 003:046 Opened against us their mouth have all our enemies. 
25O 003:047 Fear and a snare hath been for us, Desolation and  destruction. 
25O 003:048 Rivulets of water go down my eye, For the destruction of  the daughter of my people. 
25O 003:049 Mine eye is poured out, And doth not cease without  intermission, 
25O 003:050 Till Jehovah looketh and seeth from the heavens, 
25O 003:051 My eye affecteth my soul, Because of all the daughters of  my city. 
25O 003:052 Hunted me sore as a bird have my enemies without cause. 
25O 003:053 They have cut off in a pit my life, And they cast a stone  against me. 
25O 003:054 Flowed have waters over my head, I have said, I have been  cut off. 
25O 003:055 I called Thy name, O Jehovah, from the lower pit. 
25O 003:056 My voice Thou hast heard, Hide not Thine ear at my  breathing -- at my cry. 
25O 003:057 Thou hast drawn near in the day I call Thee, Thou hast  said, Fear not. 
25O 003:058 Thou hast pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul, Thou  hast redeemed my life. 
25O 003:059 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, my overthrow, Judge Thou my  cause. 
25O 003:060 Thou hast seen all their vengeance, All their thoughts of  me. 
25O 003:061 Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, All their  thoughts against me, 
25O 003:062 The lips of my withstanders, Even their meditation against  me all the day. 
25O 003:063 Their sitting down, and their rising up, Behold  attentively, I [am] their song. 
25O 003:064 Thou returnest to them the deed, O Jehovah, According to  the work of their hands. 
25O 003:065 Thou givest to them a covered heart, Thy curse to them. 
25O 003:066 Thou pursuest in anger, and destroyest them, From under the  heavens of Jehovah! 
25O 004:001 How is the gold become dim, Changed the best -- the pure  gold? Poured out are stones of the sanctuary At the head of all  out-places. 
25O 004:002 The precious sons of Zion, Who are comparable with fine  gold, How have they been reckoned earthen bottles, Work of the  hands of a potter. 
25O 004:003 Even dragons have drawn out the breast, They have suckled  their young ones, The daughter of my people is become cruel,  Like the ostriches in a wilderness. 
25O 004:004 Cleaved hath the tongue of a suckling unto his palate with  thirst, Infants asked bread, a dealer out they have none. 
25O 004:005 Those eating of dainties have been desolate in out-places,  Those supported on scarlet have embraced dunghills. 
25O 004:006 And greater is the iniquity of the daughter of my people,  Than the sin of Sodom, That was overturned as [in] a moment,  And no hands were stayed on her. 
25O 004:007 Purer were her Nazarites than snow, Whiter than milk,  ruddier of body than rubies, Of sapphire their form. 
25O 004:008 Darker than blackness hath been their visage, They have not  been known in out-places, Cleaved hath their skin unto their  bone, It hath withered -- it hath been as wood. 
25O 004:009 Better have been the pierced of a sword Than the pierced of  famine, For these flow away, pierced through, Without the  increase of the field. 
25O 004:010 The hands of merciful women have boiled their own children,  They have been for food to them, In the destruction of the  daughter of my people. 
25O 004:011 Completed hath Jehovah His fury, He hath poured out the  fierceness of His anger, And he kindleth a fire in Zion, And it  devoureth her foundations. 
25O 004:012 Believe not did the kings of earth, And any of the  inhabitants of the world, That come would an adversary and  enemy Into the gates of Jerusalem. 
25O 004:013 Because of the sins of her prophets, The iniquities of her  priests, Who are shedding in her midst the blood of the  righteous, 
25O 004:014 They have wandered naked in out-places, They have been  polluted with blood, Without [any] being able to touch their  clothing, 
25O 004:015 `Turn aside -- unclean,' they called to them, `Turn aside,  turn aside, touch not,' For they fled -- yea, they have  wandered, They have said among nations: `They do not add to  sojourn.' 
25O 004:016 The face of Jehovah hath divided them, He doth not add to  behold them, The face of priests they have not lifted up,  Elders they have not favoured. 
25O 004:017 While we exist -- consumed are our eyes for our vain help,  In our watch-tower we have watched for a nation [that] saveth  not. 
25O 004:018 They have hunted our steps from going in our broad-places,  Near hath been our end, fulfilled our days, For come hath our  end. 
25O 004:019 Swifter have been our pursuers, Than the eagles of the  heavens, On the mountains they have burned [after] us, In the  wilderness they have laid wait for us. 
25O 004:020 The breath of our nostrils -- the anointed of Jehovah, Hath  been captured in their pits, of whom we said: `In his shadow we  do live among nations.' 
25O 004:021 Joy and rejoice, O daughter of Edom, Dwelling in the land  of Uz, Even unto thee pass over doth a cup, Thou art drunk, and  makest thyself naked. 
25O 004:022 Completed [is] thy iniquity, daughter of Zion, He doth not  add to remove thee, He hath inspected thy iniquity, O daughter  of Edom, He hath removed [thee] because of thy sins! 
25O 005:001 Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look  attentively, and see our reproach. 
25O 005:002 Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to  foreigners. 
25O 005:003 Orphans we have been -- without a father, our mothers [are]  as widows. 
25O 005:004 Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth  come. 
25O 005:005 For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured -- there  hath been no rest for us. 
25O 005:006 [To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be  satisfied with bread. 
25O 005:007 Our fathers have sinned -- they are not, We their iniquities  have borne. 
25O 005:008 Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from  their hand. 
25O 005:009 With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword  of the wilderness. 
25O 005:010 Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the  raging of the famine. 
25O 005:011 Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins -- in cities of  Judah. 
25O 005:012 Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders  have not been honoured. 
25O 005:013 Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood  have stumbled. 
25O 005:014 The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their  song. 
25O 005:015 Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath  been our dancing. 
25O 005:016 Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Wo [is] now to us,  for we have sinned. 
25O 005:017 For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes  been dim. 
25O 005:018 For the mount of Zion -- that is desolate, Foxes have gone  up on it. 
25O 005:019 Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to  generation and generation. 
25O 005:020 Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for  length of days! 
25O 005:021 Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew  our days as of old. 
25O 005:022 For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth  against us -- exceedingly?  
26O 001:001 And it cometh to pass, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth  [month], in the fifth of the month, and I [am] in the midst of  the Removed by the river Chebar, the heavens have been opened,  and I see visions of God. 
26O 001:002 In the fifth of the month -- it is the fifth year of the  removal of the king Jehoiachin -- 
26O 001:003 hath the word of Jehovah certainly been unto Ezekiel son of  Buzi the priest, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river  Chebar, and there is on him there a hand of Jehovah. 
26O 001:004 And I look, and lo, a tempestuous wind is coming from the  north, a great cloud, and fire catching itself, and brightness  to it round about, and out of its midst as the colour of  copper, out of the midst of the fire. 
26O 001:005 And out of its midst [is] a likeness of four living  creatures, and this [is] their appearance; a likeness of man  [is] to them, 
26O 001:006 and four faces [are] to each, and four wings [are] to each  of them, 
26O 001:007 and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their  feet [is] as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as  the colour of bright brass; 
26O 001:008 and hands of man under their wings -- on their four sides,  and their faces and their wings -- [are] to them four; 
26O 001:009 joining one unto another [are] their wings, they turn not  round in their going, each straight forward they go. 
26O 001:010 As to the likeness of their faces, the face of a man, and  the face of a lion, toward the right [are] to them four, and  the face of an ox on the left [are] to them four, and the face  of an eagle [are] to them four. 
26O 001:011 And their faces and their wings are separate from above, to  each [are] two joining together, and two are covering their  bodies. 
26O 001:012 And each straight forward they go, whither the spirit is to  go, they go, they turn not round in their going. 
26O 001:013 As to the likeness of the living creatures, their  appearances [are] as coals of fire -- burning as the appearance  of lamps; it is going up and down between the living creatures,  and brightness [is] to the fire, and out of the fire is going  forth lightning. 
26O 001:014 And the living creatures are running, and turning back, as  the appearance of the flash. 
26O 001:015 And I see the living creatures, and lo, one wheel [is] in  the earth, near the living creatures, at its four faces. 
26O 001:016 The appearance of the wheels and their works [is] as the  colour of beryl, and one likeness [is] to them four, and their  appearances and their works [are] as it were the wheel in the  midst of the wheel. 
26O 001:017 On their four sides, in their going they go, they turn not  round in their going. 
26O 001:018 As to their rings, they are both high and fearful, and  their rings [are] full of eyes round about them four. 
26O 001:019 And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels go  beside them, and in the living creatures being lifted up from  off the earth, lifted up are the wheels. 
26O 001:020 Whither the spirit is to go, they go, thither the spirit  [is] to go, and the wheels are lifted up over-against them, for  a living spirit [is] in the wheels. 
26O 001:021 In their going, they go; and in their standing, they stand;  and in their being lifted up from off the earth, lifted up are  the wheels over-against them; for a living spirit [is] in the  wheels. 
26O 001:022 And a likeness [is] over the heads of the living creatures  of an expanse, as the colour of the fearful ice, stretched out  over their heads from above. 
26O 001:023 And under the expanse their wings [are] straight, one  toward the other, to each are two covering on this side, and to  each are two covering on that side -- their bodies. 
26O 001:024 And I hear the noise of their wings, as the noise of many  waters, as the noise of the Mighty One, in their going -- the  noise of tumult, as the noise of a camp, in their standing they  let fall their wings. 
26O 001:025 And there is a voice from above the expanse, that [is]  above their head: in their standing they let fall their wings. 
26O 001:026 And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an  appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne,  and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance  of man upon it from above. 
26O 001:027 And I see as the colour of copper, 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 have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] to  it round about. 
26O 001:028 As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of  rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about. 
26O 002:001 It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of  Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice  speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet,  and I speak with thee.' 
26O 002:002 And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken  unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him  who is speaking unto me. 
26O 002:003 And He saith unto Me, `Son of man, I am sending thee unto  the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have  rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed  against Me, unto this self-same day. 
26O 002:004 And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I  am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the  Lord Jehovah: 
26O 002:005 and they -- whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for  a rebellious house they [are] -- have known that a prophet hath  been in their midst. 
26O 002:006 `And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of  their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with  thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou  art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for  they [are] a rebellious house, 
26O 002:007 And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear  or whether they forbear, for they [are] rebellious. 
26O 002:008 `And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto  thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open  thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.' 
26O 002:009 And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo,  in it a roll of a book, 
26O 002:010 and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front  and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning,  and wo! 
26O 003:001 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, that which thou findest  eat, eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.' 
26O 003:002 And I open my mouth, and He causeth me to eat this roll. 
26O 003:003 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, thy belly thou dost feed,  and thy bowels thou dost fill with this roll that I am giving  unto thee;' and I eat it, and it is in my mouth as honey for  sweetness. 
26O 003:004 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, go, enter in unto the  house of Israel, and thou hast spoken with My words unto them. 
26O 003:005 For, not unto a people deep of lip and heavy of tongue [art]  thou sent -- unto the house of Israel; 
26O 003:006 not unto many peoples, deep of lip and heavy of tongue,  whose words thou dost not understand. If I had not sent thee  unto them -- they, they do hearken unto thee, 
26O 003:007 but the house of Israel are not willing to hearken unto  thee, for they are not willing to hearken unto Me, for all the  house of Israel are brazen-faced and strong-hearted. 
26O 003:008 `Lo, I have made thy face strong against their face, and thy  forehead strong against their forehead. 
26O 003:009 As an adamant harder than a rock I have made thy forehead;  thou dost not fear them, nor art thou affrighted before them,  for a rebellious house [are] they.' 
26O 003:010 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, all My words, that I  speak unto thee, receive with thy heart, and with thine ears  hear; 
26O 003:011 and go, enter in unto the Removed, unto the sons of thy  people, and thou hast spoken unto them, and hast said unto  them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: whether they hear, or whether  they forbear.' 
26O 003:012 And lift me up doth a spirit, and I hear behind me a noise,  a great rushing -- `Blessed [is] the honour of Jehovah from His  place!' -- 
26O 003:013 even a noise of the wings of the living creatures touching  one another, and a noise of the wheels over-against them, even  a noise of a great rushing. 
26O 003:014 And a spirit hath lifted me up, and doth take me away, and  I go bitterly, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of  Jehovah on me [is] strong. 
26O 003:015 And I come in unto the Removed, at Tel-Ahib, who are  dwelling at the river Chebar, and where they are dwelling I  also dwell seven days, causing astonishment in their midst. 
26O 003:016 And it cometh to pass, at the end of seven days, 
26O 003:017 that there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of  man, a watchman I have given thee to the house of Israel, and  thou hast heard from My mouth a word, and hast warned them from  Me. 
26O 003:018 In My saying to the wicked: Thou dost surely die; and thou  hast not warned him, nor hast spoken to warn the wicked from  his wicked way, so that he doth live; he -- the wicked -- in  his iniquity dieth, and his blood from thy hand I require. 
26O 003:019 And thou, because thou hast warned the wicked, and he hath  not turned back from his wickedness, and from his wicked way,  he in his iniquity dieth, and thou thy soul hast delivered. 
26O 003:020 `And in the turning back of the righteous from his  righteousness, and he hath done perversity, and I have put a  stumbling-block before him, he dieth; because thou hast not  warned him, in his sin he dieth, and not remembered is his  righteousness that he hath done, and his blood from thy hand I  require. 
26O 003:021 And thou, because thou hast warned him -- the righteous --  that the righteous sin not, and he hath not sinned, he surely  liveth, because he hath been warned; and thou thy soul hast  delivered.' 
26O 003:022 And there is on me there a hand of Jehovah, and He saith to  me, `Rise, go forth to the valley, and there I do speak with  thee.' 
26O 003:023 And I rise and go forth unto the valley, and lo, there the  honour of Jehovah is standing as the honour that I had seen by  the river Chebar, and I fall on my face. 
26O 003:024 And come into me doth a spirit, and causeth me to stand on  my feet, and He speaketh with me, and saith unto me, `Go in, be  shut up in the midst of thy house. 
26O 003:025 `And thou, son of man, lo, they have put on thee thick  bands, and have bound thee with them, and thou goest not forth  in their midst; 
26O 003:026 and thy tongue I cause to cleave unto thy palate, and thou  hast been dumb, and art not to them for a reprover, for a  rebellious house [are] they. 
26O 003:027 And in My speaking with thee, I do open thy mouth, and thou  hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah; the hearer  doth hear, and the forbearer doth forbear; for a rebellious  house [are] they. 
26O 004:001 `And thou, son of man, take to thee a brick, and thou hast  put it before thee, and hast graven on it a city -- Jerusalem, 
26O 004:002 and hast placed against it a siege, and builded against it a  fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed  against it camps, yea, set thou against it battering-rams round  about. 
26O 004:003 And thou, take to thee an iron pan, and thou hast made it a  wall of iron between thee and the city; and thou hast prepared  thy face against it, and it hath been in a siege, yea, thou  hast laid siege against it. A sign it [is] to the house of  Israel. 
26O 004:004 `And thou, lie on thy left side, and thou hast placed the  iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days  that thou liest on it, thou bearest their iniquity. 
26O 004:005 And I -- I have laid on thee the years of their iniquity,  the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou  hast borne the iniquity of the house of Israel. 
26O 004:006 And thou hast completed these, and hast lain on thy right  side, a second time, and hast borne the iniquity of the house  of Judah forty days -- a day for a year -- a day for a year I  have appointed to thee. 
26O 004:007 `And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face,  and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast prophesied  concerning it. 
26O 004:008 And lo, I have put on thee thick bands, and thou dost not  turn from side to side till thy completing the days of thy  siege. 
26O 004:009 `And thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and  lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one  vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days  that thou art lying on thy side -- three hundred and ninety  days -- thou dost eat it. 
26O 004:010 And thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty  shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it. 
26O 004:011 `And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the  hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it]. 
26O 004:012 A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung -- the  filth of man -- thou dost bake before their eyes. 
26O 004:013 And Jehovah saith, `Thus do the sons of Israel eat their  defiled bread among the nations whither I drive them.' 
26O 004:014 And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled,  and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth,  even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.' 
26O 004:015 And He saith unto me, `See, I have given to thee bullock's  dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy bread by  it.' 
26O 004:016 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lo, I am breaking the  staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by  weight and with fear; and water by measure and with  astonishment, they do drink; 
26O 004:017 so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished  one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity. 
26O 005:001 `And thou, son of man, take to thee a sharp weapon, the  barber's razor thou dost take to thee, and thou hast caused  [it] to pass over thy head, and over thy beard, and thou hast  taken to thee weighing scales, and apportioned them. 
26O 005:002 A third part with fire thou dost burn in the midst of the  city, at the fulness of the days of the siege; and thou hast  taken the third part, thou dost smite with a weapon round about  it; and the third part thou dost scatter to the wind, and a  weapon I draw out after them. 
26O 005:003 And thou hast taken thence a few in number -- and hast bound  them in thy skirts; 
26O 005:004 and of them thou dost take again, and hast cast them unto  the midst of the fire, and hast burned them in the fire -- out  of it cometh forth a fire unto all the house of Israel. 
26O 005:005 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: this [is] Jerusalem, In the  midst of the nations I have set her, And round about her [are]  the lands. 
26O 005:006 And she changeth My judgments into wickedness more than the  nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] round  about her, For against My judgments they have kicked, And My  statutes -- they have not walked in them. 
26O 005:007 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your  multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, In My  statutes ye have not walked, And My judgments ye have not done,  According to the judgments of the nations That [are] round about  you ye have not done. 
26O 005:008 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against  thee, even I, And I have done in thy midst judgments, Before  the eyes of the nations. 
26O 005:009 And I have done in thee that which I have not done, And that  which I do not its like again, Because of all thine  abominations. 
26O 005:010 Therefore fathers do eat sons in thy midst, And sons eat  their fathers, And I have done in thee judgments, And have  scattered all thy remnant to every wind. 
26O 005:011 Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:  Because My sanctuary thou hast defiled, With all thy detestable  things, And with all thine abominations, Mine eye pitieth not,  and I also spare not. Do not even I also diminish? 
26O 005:012 Thy third part -- by pestilence they die, And by famine are  consumed in thy midst, And the third part, by sword they fall  round about thee, And the third part, to every wind I scatter,  And a sword I draw out after them. 
26O 005:013 And completed hath been Mine anger, And I have caused My  fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have  known that I, Jehovah, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing  My fury on them. 
26O 005:014 And I give thee for a waste, And for a reproach among  nations that [are] round about thee, Before the eyes of every  passer by. 
26O 005:015 And it hath been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction  and an astonishment, To nations that [are] round about thee, In  My doing in thee judgments, In anger and fury, and in furious  reproofs, I, Jehovah, have spoken. 
26O 005:016 In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That  have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And  famine I am adding upon you, And I have broken to you the staff  of bread. 
26O 005:017 And I have sent on you famine and evil beasts, And they  have bereaved thee, And pestilence and blood pass over on thee,  And a sword I do bring in against thee, I, Jehovah, have  spoken!' 
26O 006:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 006:002 `Son of man, set thy face unto mountains of Israel, and  prophesy concerning them: 
26O 006:003 And thou hast said: Mountains of Israel, Hear ye a word of  the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah To the mountains,  and to the hills, To the streams, and to the valleys, Lo, I, I  am bringing in against you a sword, And I have destroyed your  high places. 
26O 006:004 And desolated have been your altars, And broken your images,  And I have caused your wounded to fall before your idols, 
26O 006:005 And put the carcases of the sons of Israel before their  idols, And scattered your bones round about your altars. 
26O 006:006 In all your dwellings the cities are laid waste, And the  high places are desolate, So that waste and desolate are your  altars, And broken and ceased have your idols, And cut down  have been your images, And blotted out have been your works. 
26O 006:007 And fallen hath the wounded in your midst, And ye have known  that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 006:008 And I have caused [some] to remain, In their being to you  the escaped of the sword among nations, In your being scattered  through lands. 
26O 006:009 And remembered Me have your escaped among nations, Whither  they have been taken captive, Because I have been broken with  their heart that is going a-whoring, That hath turned aside  from off Me, And with their eyes they are going a-whoring after  their idols, And they have been loathsome in their own faces,  For the evils that they have done -- all their abominations. 
26O 006:010 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, Not for nought  have I spoken to do to them this evil. 
26O 006:011 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `Smite with thy palm, and stamp  with thy foot, And say: Alas, for all the evil abominations of  the house of Israel, Who by sword, by famine, and by  pestilence do fall. 
26O 006:012 The far-off by pestilence dieth, And the near by sword  falleth, And the left and the besieged by famine dieth, And I  have completed my fury upon them. 
26O 006:013 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In their wounded  being in the midst of their idols, Round about their altars, On  every high hill, on all tops of mountains, And under every  green tree, and under every thick oak, The place where they  gave sweet fragrance to all their idols. 
26O 006:014 And I have stretched out my hand against them, And have  made the land a desolation, Even a desolation from the  wilderness to Diblath, In all their dwellings, And they have  known that I [am] Jehovah!' 
26O 007:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `And thou,  son of man, Thus said the Lord Jehovah to the ground of Israel: 
26O 007:002 An end, come hath the end on the four corners of the land. 
26O 007:003 Now [is] the end unto thee, And I have sent Mine anger upon  thee, And judged thee according to thy ways, And set against  thee all thine abominations. 
26O 007:004 And no pity on thee hath Mine eye, nor do I spare, For thy  ways against thee I do set, And thine abominations are in thy  midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 007:005 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Evil, a single evil, lo, it hath  come. 
26O 007:006 An end hath come, come hath the end, It hath waked for thee,  lo, it hath come. 
26O 007:007 Come hath the morning unto thee, O inhabitant of the land!  Come hath the time, near [is] a day of trouble, And not the  shouting of mountains. 
26O 007:008 Now, shortly I pour out My fury on thee, And have completed  Mine anger against thee, And judged thee according to thy ways,  And set against thee all thine abominations. 
26O 007:009 And not pity doth Mine eye, nor do I spare, According to thy  ways unto thee I give, And thine abominations are in thy midst,  And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah the smiter. 
26O 007:010 Lo, the day, lo, it hath come, Gone forth hath the morning,  Blossomed hath the rod, flourished the pride. 
26O 007:011 The violence hath risen to a rod of wickedness, There is  none of them, nor of their multitude, Nor of their noise, nor  is there wailing for them. 
26O 007:012 Come hath the time, arrived hath the day, The buyer doth  not rejoice, And the seller doth not become a mourner, For  wrath [is] unto all its multitude. 
26O 007:013 For the seller to the sold thing turneth not, And yet among  the living [is] their life, For the vision [is] unto all its  multitude, It doth not turn back, And none by his iniquity doth  strengthen his life. 
26O 007:014 They have blown with a trumpet to prepare the whole, And  none is going to battle, For My wrath [is] unto all its  multitude. 
26O 007:015 The sword [is] without, And the pestilence and the famine  within, He who is in a field by sword dieth, And he who is in a  city, Famine and pestilence devour him. 
26O 007:016 And escaped away have their fugitives, And they have been  on the mountains As doves of the valleys, All of them make a  noising -- each for his iniquity. 
26O 007:017 All the hands are feeble, and all knees go -- waters. 
26O 007:018 And they have girded on sackcloth, And covered them hath  trembling, And unto all faces [is] shame, And on all their  heads -- baldness. 
26O 007:019 Their silver into out-places they cast, And their gold  impurity becometh. Their silver and their gold is not able to  deliver them, In a day of the wrath of Jehovah, Their soul they  do not satisfy, And their bowels they do not fill, For the  stumbling-block of their iniquity it hath been. 
26O 007:020 As to the beauty of his ornament, For excellency He set it,  And the images of their abominations, Their detestable things  -- they made in it, Therefore I have given it to them for  impurity, 
26O 007:021 And I have given it into the hand of the strangers for a  prey, And to the wicked of the land for a spoil, And they have  polluted it. 
26O 007:022 And I have turned My face from them, And they have polluted  My hidden place, Yea, come into it have destroyers, and  polluted it. 
26O 007:023 Make the chain; for the land Hath been full of bloody  judgments, And the city hath been full of violence. 
26O 007:024 And I have brought in the wicked of the nations, And they  have possessed their houses, And I have caused to cease the  excellency of the strong, And polluted have been those  sanctifying them. 
26O 007:025 Destruction hath come, And they have sought peace, and  there is none. 
26O 007:026 Mischief on mischief cometh, and report is on report, And  they have sought a vision from a prophet, And law doth perish  from the priest, And counsel from the elders, 
26O 007:027 The king doth become a mourner, And a prince putteth on  desolation, And the hands of the people of the land are  troubled, From their own way I deal with them, And with their  own judgments I judge them, And they have known that I [am]  Jehovah!' 
26O 008:001 And it cometh to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth  [month], in the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house,  and elders of Judah are sitting before me, and fall on me there  doth a hand of the Lord Jehovah, 
26O 008:002 and I look, and lo, 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  colour of copper. 
26O 008:003 And He putteth forth a form of a hand, and taketh me by a  lock of my head, and lift me up doth a spirit between the earth  and the heavens, and it bringeth me in to Jerusalem in visions  of God, unto the opening of the inner gate that is facing the  north, where [is] the seat of the figure of jealousy that is  making jealous, 
26O 008:004 and lo, there the honour of the God of Israel, as the  appearance that I saw in the valley. 
26O 008:005 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, lift up, I pray thee,  thine eyes the way of the north.' And I lift up mine eyes the  way of the north, and lo, on the north of the gate of the altar  this figure of jealousy, at the entrance. 
26O 008:006 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, art thou seeing what they  are doing? the great abominations that the house of Israel are  doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and again thou  dost turn, thou dost see great abominations.' 
26O 008:007 And He bringeth me in unto an opening of the court, and I  look, and lo, a hole in the wall; 
26O 008:008 and He saith unto me, `Son of man, dig, I pray thee, through  the wall;' and I dig through the wall, and lo, an opening. 
26O 008:009 And He saith to me, `Go in, and see the evil abominations  that they are doing here.' 
26O 008:010 And I go in, and look, and lo, every form of creeping  thing, and detestable beast -- and all the Idols of the house  of Israel -- graved on the wall, all round about, 
26O 008:011 and seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel -- and  Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst -- are  standing before them, and each his censer in his hand, and the  abundance of the cloud of perfume is going up. 
26O 008:012 And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man, that  which elders of the house of Israel are doing in darkness, each  in the inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying,  Jehovah is not seeing us, Jehovah hath forsaken the land?' 
26O 008:013 And He saith unto me, `Again thou dost turn, thou dost see  great abominations that they are doing.' 
26O 008:014 And He bringeth me in unto the opening of the gate of the  house of Jehovah that [is] at the north, and lo, there the  women are sitting weeping for Tammuz. 
26O 008:015 And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man? again  thou dost turn, thou dost see greater abominations than these.' 
26O 008:016 And He bringeth me in unto the inner court of the house of  Jehovah, and lo, at the opening of the temple of Jehovah,  between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their  backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces eastward,  and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun. 
26O 008:017 And He saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man? hath it  been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination  that they have done here, that they have filled the land with  violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? and lo, they  are putting forth the branch unto their nose! 
26O 008:018 And I also deal in fury, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I  spare, and they have cried in Mine ears -- a loud voice -- and  I do not hear them.' 
26O 009:001 And He crieth in mine ears -- a loud voice -- saying, `Drawn  near have inspectors of the city, and each his destroying  weapon in his hand.' 
26O 009:002 And lo, six men are coming from the way of the upper gate,  that is facing the north, and each his slaughter-weapon in his  hand, and one man in their midst is clothed with linen, and a  scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and they come in, and stand near  the brazen altar. 
26O 009:003 And the honour of the God of Israel hath gone up from off  the cherub, on which it hath been, unto the threshold of the  house. 
26O 009:004 And He calleth unto the man who is clothed with linen, who  hath the scribe's inkhorn at his loins, and Jehovah saith unto  him, `Pass on into the midst of the city, into the midst of  Jerusalem, and thou hast made a mark on the foreheads of the  men who are sighing and who are groaning for all the  abominations that are done in its midst.' 
26O 009:005 And to the others he said in mine ears, `Pass on into the  city after him, and smite; your eye doth not pity, nor do ye  spare; 
26O 009:006 aged, young man, and virgin, and infant, and women, ye do  slay -- to destruction; and against any man on whom [is] the  mark ye do not go nigh, and from My sanctuary ye begin.' 
26O 009:007 And they begin among the aged men who [are] before the  house, and He saith unto them, `Defile the house, and fill the  courts with the wounded, go forth.' And they have gone forth  and have smitten in the city. 
26O 009:008 And it cometh to pass, as they are smiting, and I -- I am  left -- that I fall on my face, and cry, and say, `Ah, Lord  Jehovah, art Thou destroying all the remnant of Israel, in Thy  pouring out Thy wrath on Jerusalem?' 
26O 009:009 And He saith unto me, `The iniquity of the house of Israel  and Judah [is] very very great, and the land is full of blood,  and the city hath been full of perverseness, for they have  said: Jehovah hath forsaken the land, and Jehovah is not  seeing. 
26O 009:010 And I also, Mine eye doth not pity, nor do I spare; their  way on their own head I have put.' 
26O 009:011 And lo, the man clothed with linen, at whose loins [is] the  inkhorn, is bringing back word, saying, `I have done as Thou  hast commanded me.' 
26O 010:001 And I look, and lo, on the expanse that [is] above the head  of the cherubs, as a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the  likeness of a throne, He hath been seen over them. 
26O 010:002 And He speaketh unto the man clothed with linen, and saith,  `Go in unto the midst of the wheel, unto the place of the  cherub, and fill thy hands with coals of fire from between the  cherubs, and scatter over the city.' And he goeth in before  mine eyes. 
26O 010:003 And the cherubs are standing on the right side of the  house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud hath filled  the inner court, 
26O 010:004 and become high doth the honour of Jehovah above the  cherub, over the threshold of the house, and the house is  filled with the cloud, and the court hath been filled with the  brightness of the honour of Jehovah. 
26O 010:005 And a noise of the wings of the cherubs hath been heard  unto the outer court, as the voice of God -- the Mighty One --  in His speaking. 
26O 010:006 And it cometh to pass, in His commanding the man clothed  with linen, saying, `Take fire from between the wheel, from  between the cherubs,' and he goeth in and standeth near the  wheel, 
26O 010:007 that the [one] cherub putteth forth his hand from between  the cherubs unto the fire that [is] between the cherubs, and  lifteth up, and giveth into the hands of him who is clothed  with linen, and he receiveth, and cometh forth. 
26O 010:008 And there appeareth in the cherubs the form of a hand of  man under their wings, 
26O 010:009 and I look, and lo, four wheels near the cherubs, one wheel  near the one cherub, and another wheel near the other cherub,  and the appearance of the wheels [is] as the colour of a beryl  stone. 
26O 010:010 As to their appearances, one likeness [is] to them four,  as it were the wheel in the midst of the wheel. 
26O 010:011 In their going, on their four sides they go; they turn not  round in their going, for to the place whither the head  turneth, after it they go, they turn not round in their going. 
26O 010:012 And all their flesh, and their backs, and their hands, and  their wings, and the wheels, are full of eyes round about; to  them four [are] their wheels. 
26O 010:013 To the wheels -- to them is one calling in mine ears, `O  wheel!' 
26O 010:014 And four faces [are] to each; the face of the one [is] the  face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man,  and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face  of an eagle. 
26O 010:015 And the cherubs are lifted up, it [is] the living creature  that I saw by the river Chebar. 
26O 010:016 And in the going of the cherubs, the wheels go beside  them; and in the cherubs lifting up their wings to be high  above the earth, the wheels turn not round, even they, from  being beside them. 
26O 010:017 In their standing they stand, and in their exaltation they  are exalted with them: for the living spirit [is] in them. 
26O 010:018 And go forth doth the honour of Jehovah from off the  threshold of the house, and standeth over the cherubs, 
26O 010:019 and the cherubs lift up their wings, and are lifted up  from the earth before mine eyes; in their going forth, the  wheels also [are] over-against them, and he standeth at the  opening of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the  honour of the God of Israel [is] over them from above. 
26O 010:020 It [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of  Israel by the river Chebar, and I know that they are cherubs. 
26O 010:021 Four faces [are] to each, and four wings to each, and the  likeness of the hands of man [is] under their wings. 
26O 010:022 As to the likeness of their faces, they [are] the faces  that I saw by the river Chebar, their appearances and  themselves; each straight forward they go. 
26O 011:001 And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto  the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east,  and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I  see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of  Benaiah, heads of the people. 
26O 011:002 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these [are] the men who  are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this  city; 
26O 011:003 who are saying, It [is] not near -- to build houses, it  [is] the pot, and we the flesh. 
26O 011:004 Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.' 
26O 011:005 And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith  unto me, `Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house  of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known. 
26O 011:006 Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its  out-places with the wounded. 
26O 011:007 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye  placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot,  And you he hath brought out from its midst. 
26O 011:008 A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you,  An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 011:009 And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into  the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments. 
26O 011:010 By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do  judge you, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 011:011 It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for  flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you. 
26O 011:012 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes  ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And  according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about  you -- ye have done!' 
26O 011:013 And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah  son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry -- a  loud voice -- and say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art  making of the remnant of Israel.' 
26O 011:014 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 011:015 `Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy  kindred, and all the house of Israel -- all of it, [are] they  to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from  Jehovah; 
26O 011:016 it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance;  therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them  afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through  lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands  whither they have gone in. 
26O 011:017 Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have  assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from  the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given  to you the ground of Israel. 
26O 011:018 And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its  detestable things, And all its abominations -- out of it. 
26O 011:019 And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do  give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of  their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh. 
26O 011:020 So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they  keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a  people, And I am to them for God. 
26O 011:021 As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their  detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head  I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 011:022 And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are]  over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is]  over them above. 
26O 011:023 And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of  the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east  of the city. 
26O 011:024 And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to  Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God,  and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen; 
26O 011:025 and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah  that He hath shewed me. 
26O 012:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 012:002 `Son of man, in the midst of the rebellious house thou art  dwelling, that have eyes to see, and they have not seen; ears  they have to hear, and they have not heard; for a rebellious  house [are] they. 
26O 012:003 And thou, son of man, make to thee vessels of removal, and  remove by day before their eyes, and thou hast removed from thy  place unto another place before their eyes, it may be they  consider, for a rebellious house they [are]. 
26O 012:004 And thou hast brought forth thy vessels as vessels of  removal by day before their eyes, and thou, thou dost go forth  at even before their eyes, as the goings forth of a removal. 
26O 012:005 Before their eyes dig for thee through the wall, and thou  hast brought forth by it. 
26O 012:006 Before their eyes on the shoulder thou dost bear, in the  darkness thou dost bring forth, thy face thou dost cover, and  thou dost not see the earth, for a type I have given thee to  the house of Israel.' 
26O 012:007 And I do so, as I have been commanded; my vessels I have  brought forth as vessels of removal by day, and at even I have  dug for me through the wall with the hand; in the darkness I  have brought forth, on the shoulder I have borne away, before  their eyes. 
26O 012:008 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the morning,  saying, 
26O 012:009 `Son of man, have they not said unto thee -- the house of  Israel -- the rebellious house -- What art thou doing? 
26O 012:010 say unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: `The prince  [is] this burden in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who  are in their midst. 
26O 012:011 Say: I [am] your type; as I have done so it is done to  them, into a removal, into a captivity, they do go. 
26O 012:012 As to the prince who [is] in their midst, on the shoulder  he beareth in the darkness, and he goeth forth, through the  wall they dig to bring forth by it, his face he covereth, that  he may not look on the very surface of the land. 
26O 012:013 And I have spread My net for him, and he hath been caught  in My snare, and I have brought him in to Babylon, the land of  the Chaldeans, and it he doth not see -- and there doth he die. 
26O 012:014 `And all who are round about him to help him, and all his  bands, I do scatter to every wind, and a sword I draw out after  them. 
26O 012:015 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, in My scattering  them among nations, and I have spread them through lands; 
26O 012:016 and I have left of them, a few in number, from the sword,  from the famine, and from the pestilence, so that they recount  all their abominations among the nations whither they have  come, and they have known that I [am] Jehovah.' 
26O 012:017 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 012:018 `Son of man, thy bread in haste thou dost eat, and thy  water with trembling and with fear thou dost drink; 
26O 012:019 and thou hast said unto the people of the land, Thus said  the Lord Jehovah concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem,  concerning the land of Israel: Their bread with fear they do  eat, and their water with astonishment drink, because its land  is desolate, because of its fulness, because of the violence of  all who are dwelling in it. 
26O 012:020 And the cities that are inhabited are laid waste, and the  land is a desolation, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.' 
26O 012:021 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 012:022 `Son of man, what [is] this simile to you, concerning the  land of Israel, saying, Prolonged are the days, and perished  hath every vision? 
26O 012:023 therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I  have caused this simile to cease, And they use it not as a  simile again in Israel, But speak to them: Drawn near have the  days, And spoken hath every vision. 
26O 012:024 For there is no more any vain vision, and flattering  divination, In the midst of the house of Israel. 
26O 012:025 For I [am] Jehovah, I speak, The word that I speak -- it  is done, It is not prolonged any more, For, in your days, O  rebellious house, I speak a word, and I have done it, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 012:026 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 012:027 `Son of man, lo, the house of Israel are saying, The  vision that he is seeing [is] for many days, and of times far  off he is prophesying, 
26O 012:028 therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: None  of my words are prolonged any more, When I speak a word -- it  is done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 013:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 013:002 `Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who  are prophesying, and thou hast said to those prophesying from  their own heart: Hear ye a word of Jehovah: 
26O 013:003 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo unto the prophets who are  foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have  seen nothing. 
26O 013:004 As foxes in the wastes, Thy prophets, O Israel, have been. 
26O 013:005 Ye have not gone up into breaches, Nor do ye make a fence  for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of  Jehovah. 
26O 013:006 They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are  saying: An affirmation of Jehovah, And Jehovah hath not sent  them, And they have hoped to establish a word. 
26O 013:007 A vain vision have ye not seen, And a lying divination  spoken, When ye say: An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have not  spoken? 
26O 013:008 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because ye have  spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, lo, I [am] against  you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 013:009 And My hand hath been on the prophets, Who are seeing  vanity, and who are divining a lie, In the assembly of My  people they are not, And in the writing of the house of Israel  they are not written, And unto the ground of Israel they come  not, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 013:010 Because, even because, they did cause My people to err,  Saying, Peace! and there is no peace, And that one is building  a wall, And lo, they are daubing it with chalk. 
26O 013:011 Say to those daubing with chalk -- It falleth, There hath  been an overflowing shower, And ye, O hailstones, do fall, And  a tempestuous wind doth rend, 
26O 013:012 And lo, fallen hath the wall! Doth not one say unto you,  Where [is] the daubing that ye daubed? 
26O 013:013 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have rent with a  tempestuous wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in  Mine anger, And hailstones in My fury -- to consume. 
26O 013:014 And I have broken down the wall that ye daubed with chalk,  And have caused it to come unto the earth, And revealed hath  been its foundation, And it hath fallen, And ye have been  consumed in its midst, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 013:015 And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those  daubing it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And  those daubing it are not; 
26O 013:016 The prophets of Israel who are prophesying concerning  Jerusalem, And who are seeing for her a vision of peace, And  there is no peace, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 013:017 And thou, son of man, set thy face against the daughters  of thy people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and  prophesy concerning them, 
26O 013:018 And thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo to  those sowing pillows for all joints of the arm, And to those  making the kerchiefs For the head of every stature -- to hunt  souls, The souls do ye hunt of My people? And the souls ye have  do ye keep alive? 
26O 013:019 Yea, ye pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of  barley, And for pieces of bread, to put to death Souls that  should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live,  By your lying to My people -- hearkening to lies. 
26O 013:020 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against  your pillows, With which ye are hunting there the souls of the  flourishing, And I have rent them from off your arms, And have  sent away the souls that ye are hunting, The souls of the  flourishing. 
26O 013:021 And I have torn your kerchiefs, And delivered My people  out of your hand, And they are no more in your hand for a prey,  And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 013:022 Because of paining the heart of the righteous with  falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the  hands of the wicked, So as not to turn back from his evil way,  To keep him alive, 
26O 013:023 Therefore, vanity ye do not see, And divination ye do not  divine again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand,  And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah!' 
26O 014:001 And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and  sit before me. 
26O 014:002 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 014:003 `Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on  their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they  have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all by  them? 
26O 014:004 `Therefore, speak with them, and thou hast said unto them:  Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel  who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the  stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face,  and hath gone in unto the prophet -- I Jehovah have given an  answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols, 
26O 014:005 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in  that they have become estranged from off me by their idols --  all of them. 
26O 014:006 `Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord  Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and  from all your abominations turn back your faces, 
26O 014:007 for every one of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners  who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and  doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the  stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face,  and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning  Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for Myself; 
26O 014:008 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a  sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of  My people, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 014:009 `And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a  word -- I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have  stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from  the midst of My people Israel. 
26O 014:010 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the  inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet; 
26O 014:011 so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from  after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their  transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am  to them for God -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 014:012 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 014:013 `Son of man, the land -- when it sinneth against Me to  commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it,  and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine,  and cut off from it man and beast -- 
26O 014:014 and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel,  and Job -- they by their righteousness deliver their own soul  -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 014:015 `If an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it  hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any  passing through because of the beast -- 
26O 014:016 these three men in its midst: I live -- an affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah -- neither sons nor daughters do they deliver;  they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation. 
26O 014:017 `Or -- a sword I bring in against that land, and I have  said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have  cut off from it man and beast -- 
26O 014:018 and these three men in its midst: I live -- an affirmation  of the Lord Jehovah -- they deliver not sons and daughters, for  they alone are delivered. 
26O 014:019 `Or -- pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured  out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it man and  beast -- 
26O 014:020 and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- neither son nor daughter do  they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own  soul. 
26O 014:021 `For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore  judgments -- sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence  -- I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and  beast, 
26O 014:022 yet, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are  brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth  unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and  have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in  against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it. 
26O 014:023 And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and  their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done  all that which I have done in her -- an affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah.' 
26O 015:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 015:002 `Son of man, What is the vine-tree more than any tree? The  vine-branch that hath been, Among trees of the forest? 
26O 015:003 Is wood taken from it to use for work? Do they take of it a  pin to hang any vessel on it? 
26O 015:004 Lo, to the fire it hath been given for fuel, Its two ends  hath the fire eaten, And its midst hath been scorched! Is it  profitable for work? 
26O 015:005 Lo, in its being perfect it is not used for work, How much  less, when fire hath eaten of it, And it is scorched, Hath it  been used yet for work? 
26O 015:006 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: As the vine-tree  among trees of the forest, That I have given to the fire for  fuel, So I have given the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 
26O 015:007 And I have set My face against them, From the fire they  have gone forth, And the fire doth consume them, And ye have  known that I [am] Jehovah, In My setting My face against them. 
26O 015:008 And I have made the land a desolation, Because they have  committed a trespass, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 016:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 016:002 `Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations, and  thou hast said: 
26O 016:003 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Jerusalem: Thy birth and thy  nativity [Are] of the land of the Canaanite, Thy father the  Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite. 
26O 016:004 As to thy nativity, in the day thou wast born, Thou -- thy  navel hath not been cut, And in water thou wast not washed for  ease, And thou hast not been salted at all, And thou hast not  been swaddled at all. 
26O 016:005 No eye hath had pity on thee, to do to thee any of these,  To have compassion on thee, And thou art cast on the face of  the field, With loathing of thy person. In the day thou hast  been born -- thou! 
26O 016:006 And I do pass over by thee, And I see thee trodden down in  thy blood, And I say to thee in thy blood, Live, And I say to  thee in thy blood, Live. 
26O 016:007 A myriad -- as the shoot of the field I have made thee, And  thou art multiplied, and art great, And comest in with an  excellent adornment, Breasts have been formed, and thy hair  hath grown -- And thou, naked and bare! 
26O 016:008 And I pass over by thee, and I see thee, And lo, thy time  [is] a time of loves, And I spread My skirt over thee, And I  cover thy nakedness, And I swear to thee, and come in to a  covenant with thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And  thou dost become Mine. 
26O 016:009 And I do wash thee with water, And I wash away thy blood  from off thee, And I anoint thee with perfume. 
26O 016:010 And I clothe thee with embroidery, And I shoe thee with  badger's skin, And I gird thee with fine linen, And I cover  thee with figured silk. 
26O 016:011 And I adorn thee with adornments, And I give bracelets for  thy hands, And a chain for thy neck. 
26O 016:012 And I give a ring for thy nose, And rings for thine ears,  And a crown of beauty on thy head. 
26O 016:013 And thou dost put on gold and silver, And thy clothing  [is] fine linen, And figured silk and embroidery, Fine flour,  and honey, and oil thou hast eaten, And thou art very very  beautiful, And dost go prosperously to the kingdom. 
26O 016:014 And go forth doth thy name among nations, Because of thy  beauty -- for it [is] complete, In My honour that I have set  upon thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 016:015 And thou dost trust in thy beauty, And goest a-whoring  because of thy renown, And dost pour out thy whoredoms On every  passer by -- to him it is. 
26O 016:016 And thou dost take of thy garments, And dost make to thee  spotted high-places, And dost go a-whoring upon them, They are  not coming in -- nor shall it be! 
26O 016:017 And thou dost take thy beauteous vessels Of My gold and My  silver that I gave to thee, And dost make to thee images of a  male, And dost go a-whoring with them, 
26O 016:018 And dost take the garments of thy embroidery, And thou  dost cover them, And My oil and My perfume thou hast set before  them. 
26O 016:019 And My bread, that I gave to thee, Fine flour, and oil,  and honey, that I caused thee to eat. Thou hast even set it  before them, For a sweet fragrance -- thus it is, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 016:020 And thou dost take thy sons and thy daughters Whom thou  hast born to Me, And dost sacrifice them to them for food. Is  it a little thing because of thy whoredoms, 
26O 016:021 That thou dost slaughter My sons, And dost give them up in  causing them to pass over to them? 
26O 016:022 And with all thine abominations and thy whoredoms, Thou  hast not remembered the days of thy youth, When thou wast naked  and bare, Trodden down in thy blood thou wast! 
26O 016:023 And it cometh to pass, after all thy wickedness, (Wo,  wo, to thee -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah), 
26O 016:024 That thou dost build to thee an arch, And dost make to  thee a high place in every broad place. 
26O 016:025 At every head of the way thou hast built thy high place,  And thou dost make thy beauty abominable, And dost open wide  thy feet to every passer by, And dost multiply thy whoredoms, 
26O 016:026 And dost go a-whoring unto sons of Egypt, Thy neighbours  -- great of appetite! And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms, To  provoke Me to anger. 
26O 016:027 And lo, I have stretched out My hand against thee, And I  diminish thy portion, And give thee to the desire of those  hating thee, The daughters of the Philistines, Who are ashamed  of thy wicked way. 
26O 016:028 And thou goest a-whoring unto sons of Asshur, Without thy  being satisfied, And thou dost go a-whoring with them, And also  -- thou hast not been satisfied. 
26O 016:029 And thou dost multiply thy whoredoms On the land of Canaan  -- toward Chaldea, And even with this thou hast not been  satisfied. 
26O 016:030 How weak [is] thy heart, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah, In thy doing all these, The work of a domineering  whorish woman. 
26O 016:031 In thy building thine arch at the head of every way, Thy  high place thou hast made in every broad place, And -- hast not  been as a whore deriding a gift. 
26O 016:032 The wife who committeth adultery -- Under her husband --  doth receive strangers. 
26O 016:033 To all whores they give a gift, And -- thou hast given thy  gifts to all thy lovers, And dost bribe them to come in unto  thee, From round about -- in thy whoredoms. 
26O 016:034 And the contrary is in thee from women in thy whoredoms,  That after thee none doth go a-whoring; And in thy giving a  gift, And a gift hath not been given to thee; And thou art  become contrary. 
26O 016:035 Therefore, O whore, hear a word of Jehovah, 
26O 016:036 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy brass being  poured forth, And thy nakedness is revealed in thy whoredoms  near thy lovers, And near all the idols of thy abominations,  And according to the blood of thy sons, Whom thou hast given to  them; 
26O 016:037 Therefore, lo, I am assembling all thy lovers, To whom  thou hast been sweet, And all whom thou hast loved, Besides all  whom thou hast hated; And I have assembled them by thee round  about, And have revealed thy nakedness to them, And they have  seen all thy nakedness. 
26O 016:038 And I have judged thee -- judgments of adultresses, And of  women shedding blood, And have given thee blood, fury, and  jealousy. 
26O 016:039 And I have given thee into their hand, And they have  thrown down thine arch, And they have broken down thy high  places, And they have stript thee of thy garments, And they  have taken thy beauteous vessels, And they have left thee naked  and bare. 
26O 016:040 And have caused an assembly to come up against thee, And  stoned thee with stones, And thrust thee through with their  swords, 
26O 016:041 And burnt thy houses with fire, And done in thee judgments  before the eyes of many women, And I have caused thee to cease  from going a-whoring, And also a gift thou givest no more. 
26O 016:042 And I have caused My fury against thee to rest, And My  jealousy hath turned aside from thee, And I have been quiet,  and I am not angry any more. 
26O 016:043 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth,  And dost give trouble to Me in all these, Lo, even I also thy  way at first gave up, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And I  did not this thought for all thine abominations. 
26O 016:044 Lo, every one using a simile, Doth use a simile concerning  thee, saying: As the mother -- her daughter! 
26O 016:045 Thy mother's daughter thou [art], Loathing her husband and  her sons, And thy sisters' sister thou [art], Who loathed their  husbands and their sons, Your mother [is] a Hittite, and your  father an Amorite. 
26O 016:046 And thine elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her  daughters, Who is dwelling at thy left hand, And thy younger  sister, who is dwelling on thy right hand, [is] Sodom and her  daughters. 
26O 016:047 And -- in their ways thou hast not walked, And according  to their abominations done, As a little thing it hath been  loathed, And thou dost more corruptly than they in all thy  ways. 
26O 016:048 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Sodom thy  sister hath not done -- she and her daughters -- As thou hast  done -- thou and thy daughters. 
26O 016:049 Lo, this hath been the iniquity of Sodom thy sister,  Arrogancy, fulness of bread, and quiet ease, Have been to her  and to her daughters, And the hand of the afflicted and needy  She hath not strengthened. 
26O 016:050 And they are haughty and do abomination before Me, And I  turn them aside when I have seen. 
26O 016:051 As to Samaria, as the half of thy sins -- she hath not  sinned, And thou dost multiply thine abominations more than  they, And dost justify thy sisters by all thy abominations that  thou hast done. 
26O 016:052 Thou also -- bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to  thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more  abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And  thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying  thy sisters. 
26O 016:053 And I have turned back [to] their captivity, The captivity  of Sodom and her daughters, And the captivity of Samaria and  her daughters, And the captivity of thy captives in their  midst, 
26O 016:054 So that thou dost bear thy shame, And hast been ashamed of  all that thou hast done, In thy comforting them. 
26O 016:055 And thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, Do turn back to  their former state, And Samaria and her daughters Do turn back  to their former state, And thou and thy daughters do turn back  to your former state. 
26O 016:056 And thy sister Sodom hath not been for a report in thy  mouth, In the day of thine arrogancy, 
26O 016:057 Before thy wickedness is revealed, As [at] the time of the  reproach of the daughters of Aram, And of all her neighbours,  the daughters of the Philistines, Who are despising thee round  about. 
26O 016:058 Thy devices and thine abominations, Thou hast borne them,  an affirmation of Jehovah. 
26O 016:059 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have dealt with thee as  thou hast done, In that thou hast despised an oath -- to break  covenant. 
26O 016:060 And I -- I have remembered My covenant with thee, In the  days of thy youth, And I have established for thee a covenant  age-during. 
26O 016:061 And thou hast remembered thy ways, And thou hast been  ashamed, In thy receiving thy sisters -- Thine elder with thy  younger, And I have given them to thee for daughters, And not  by thy covenant. 
26O 016:062 And I -- I have established My covenant with thee, And  thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 016:063 So that thou dost remember, And thou hast been ashamed,  And there is not to thee any more an opening of the mouth  because of thy shame, In My receiving atonement for thee, For  all that thou hast done, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 017:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 017:002 `Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use a simile unto the  house of Israel, 
26O 017:003 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The great  eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that hath  diverse colours, Hath come in unto Lebanon, And it taketh the  foliage of the cedar, 
26O 017:004 The top of its tender twigs it hath cropped, And it  bringeth it in to the land of Canaan. In a city of merchants it  hath placed it. 
26O 017:005 And it taketh of the seed of the land, And doth put it in a  field of seed, To take by many waters, In a conspicuous place  it hath set it. 
26O 017:006 And it springeth up, and becometh a spreading vine, humble  of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its  roots are under it, And it becometh a vine, and maketh boughs,  And sendeth forth beauteous branches. 
26O 017:007 And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and  abounding with feathers, And lo, this vine hath bent its roots  toward him, And its thin shoots it hath sent out toward him, To  water it from the furrows of its planting, 
26O 017:008 On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make  branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine. 
26O 017:009 Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth -- its roots  doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is  withered? [In] all the leaves of its springing it withereth,  And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it  up by its roots. 
26O 017:010 And lo, the planted thing -- doth it prosper? When come  against it doth the east wind, Doth it not utterly wither? On  the furrows of its springing it withereth.' 
26O 017:011 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 017:012 `Say, I pray thee, to the rebellious house, Have ye not  known what these [are]? Say, Lo, come hath the king of Babylon  to Jerusalem, And he taketh its king, and its princes, And  bringeth them to himself to Babylon. 
26O 017:013 And he taketh of the seed of the kingdom, And maketh with  him a covenant, And bringeth him in to an oath, And the mighty  of the land he hath taken, 
26O 017:014 That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift  itself up, To keep his covenant -- that it may stand. 
26O 017:015 And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to  Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper?  doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken  covenant and escaped? 
26O 017:016 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Doth he not  -- in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose  oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With  him -- in the midst of Babylon -- die? 
26O 017:017 And not with a great force, and with a numerous assembly,  Doth Pharaoh maintain him in battle, By pouring out a mount,  and in building a fortification, To cut off many souls. 
26O 017:018 And he despised the oath -- to break covenant, And lo, he  hath given his hand, And all these he hath done, he escapeth  not. 
26O 017:019 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live -- Mine oath  that he hath despised, And My covenant that he hath broken,  Have I not put it on his head? 
26O 017:020 And I have spread out for him My snare, And he hath been  caught in My net, And I have brought him in to Babylon, And  pleaded with him there his trespass, That he hath trespassed  against Me. 
26O 017:021 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, By sword do  fall, and those remaining, To every wind they are spread out,  And ye have known that I, Jehovah, have spoken. 
26O 017:022 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have taken of the foliage of  the high cedar, And I have set [it], From the top of its tender  shoots a tender one I crop, And I -- I have planted [it] on a  mountain high and lofty. 
26O 017:023 In a mountain -- the high place of Israel, I plant it, And  it hath borne boughs, and yielded fruit, And become a goodly  cedar, And dwelt under it have all birds of every wing, In the  shade of its thin shoots they dwell. 
26O 017:024 And known have all trees of the field That I, Jehovah,  have made low the high tree, I have set on high the low tree, I  have dried up the moist tree, And I have caused the dry tree to  flourish, I, Jehovah, have spoken, and have done [it]!' 
26O 018:001 `And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 018:002 `What -- to you, ye -- using this simile Concerning the  ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the  sons' teeth are blunted? 
26O 018:003 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no  more the use of this simile in Israel. 
26O 018:004 Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So  also the soul of the son -- they are Mine, The soul that is  sinning -- it doth die. 
26O 018:005 And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and  righteousness, 
26O 018:006 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not  lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, And the wife of  his neighbour defiled not, And to a separated woman cometh not  near, 
26O 018:007 A man -- he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he  doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the  hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover with a garment, 
26O 018:008 In usury he doth not give, and increase taketh not, From  perversity he turneth back his hand, True judgment he doth  between man and man. 
26O 018:009 In My statutes he doth walk, And My judgments he hath kept  -- to deal truly, Righteous [is] he, he surely liveth, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 018:010 And -- he hath begotten a son, A burglar -- a shedder of  blood, And he hath made a brother of one of these, 
26O 018:011 And he all those hath not done, For even on the mountains  he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour he hath defiled, 
26O 018:012 The afflicted and needy he hath oppressed, Plunder he hath  taken violently away, A pledge he doth not return, And unto the  idols he hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he hath done! 
26O 018:013 In usury he hath given, and increase taken, And he liveth:  he doth not live, All these abominations he hath done, He doth  surely die, his blood is on him. 
26O 018:014 And -- lo, he hath begotten a son, And he seeth all the  sins of his father, That he hath done, and he feareth, And doth  not do like them, 
26O 018:015 On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath  not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, The wife of  his neighbour he hath not defiled, 
26O 018:016 A man -- he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not  bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the  hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered with a garment, 
26O 018:017 From the afflicted he hath turned back his hand, Usury and  increase he hath not taken, My judgments he hath done, In My  statutes he hath walked, He doth not die for the iniquity of  his father, He doth surely live. 
26O 018:018 His father -- because he used oppression, Did violently  Plunder a brother, And that which [is] not good did in the  midst of his people, And lo, he is dying in his iniquity. 
26O 018:019 And ye have said, Wherefore hath not the son, Borne of the  iniquity of the father? And -- the son judgment and  righteousness hath done, All My statutes he hath kept, And he  doeth them, he surely liveth. 
26O 018:020 The soul that doth sin -- it doth die. A son doth not bear  of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of  the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is  on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him. 
26O 018:021 And the wicked -- when he turneth back From all his sins  that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath  done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth  not die. 
26O 018:022 All his transgressions that he hath done Are not  remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he  liveth. 
26O 018:023 Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation  of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way  -- And he hath lived? 
26O 018:024 And in the turning back of the righteous from his  righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all  the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth -- thus he  liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not  remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for  his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth die. 
26O 018:025 And ye have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord.  Hear, I pray you, O house of Israel, My way -- is it not  pondered? Are not your ways unpondered? 
26O 018:026 In the turning back of the righteous from his  righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by  them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth. 
26O 018:027 And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness  that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He  his soul doth keep alive. 
26O 018:028 And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions  that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die, 
26O 018:029 And the house of Israel have said, Not pondered is the way  of the Lord, My ways -- are they not pondered? O house of  Israel -- are not your ways unpondered? 
26O 018:030 Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house  of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back,  yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And  iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block, 
26O 018:031 Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye  have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new  spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel? 
26O 018:032 For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live! 
26O 019:001 And thou, lift up a lamentation unto princes of Israel, 
26O 019:002 and thou hast said: What [is] thy mother? -- a lioness,  Among lions she hath crouched down, In the midst of young lions  she hath multiplied her whelps. 
26O 019:003 And she bringeth up one of her whelps, A young lion it hath  been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath devoured. 
26O 019:004 And hear of it do nations, In their pit it hath been  caught, And they bring it in with chains unto the land of  Egypt. 
26O 019:005 And she seeth, that stayed -- perished hath her hope, And  she taketh one of her whelps, A young lion she hath made it. 
26O 019:006 And it goeth up and down in the midst of lions, A young  lion it hath been, And it learneth to tear prey, man it hath  devoured. 
26O 019:007 And it knoweth his forsaken habitations, And their cities  it hath laid waste, And desolate is the land and its fulness,  Because of the voice of his roaring. 
26O 019:008 And set against it do nations Round about from the  provinces. And they spread out for it their net, In their pit  it hath been caught. 
26O 019:009 And they put it in prison -- in chains, And they bring it  unto the king of Babylon, They bring it in unto bulwarks, So  that its voice is not heard any more On mountains of Israel. 
26O 019:010 Thy mother [is] as a vine in thy blood by waters planted,  Fruitful and full of boughs it hath been, Because of many  waters. 
26O 019:011 And it hath strong rods for sceptres of rulers, And high  is its stature above thick branches, And it appeareth in its  height In the multitude of its thin shoots. 
26O 019:012 And it is plucked up in fury, To the earth it hath been  cast, And the east wind hath dried up its fruit, Broken and  withered hath been the rod of its strength, Fire hath consumed  it. 
26O 019:013 And now -- it is planted in a wilderness, In a land dry  and thirsty. 
26O 019:014 And go forth doth fire from a rod of its boughs, Its fruit  it hath devoured, And it hath no rod of strength -- a sceptre  to rule, Lamentation it [is] -- and it is for a lamentation!' 
26O 020:001 And it cometh to pass, in the seventh year, in the fifth  [month], in the tenth of the month, come in have certain of the  elders of Israel to seek Jehovah, and they sit before me; 
26O 020:002 and there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 020:003 `Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel, and thou hast  said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To seek Me are ye  coming in? I live -- I am not sought by you -- an affirmation  of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 020:004 Dost thou judge them? Dost thou judge, son of man? The  abominations of their fathers cause them to know, 
26O 020:005 and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:  In the day of My fixing on Israel, I lift up My hand, To the  seed of the house of Jacob, And am known to them in the land of  Egypt, And I lift up My hand to them, Saying, I [am] Jehovah  your God. 
26O 020:006 In that day I did lift up My hand to them, To bring them  forth from the land of Egypt, Unto a land that I spied out for  them, Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the  lands, 
26O 020:007 And I say unto them, Let each cast away the detestable  things of his eyes, And with the idols of Egypt be not defiled,  I [am] Jehovah your God. 
26O 020:008 And -- they rebel against Me, And have not been willing to  hearken to Me, Each, the detestable things of their eyes, They  have not cast away, And the idols of Egypt have not forsaken,  And I say -- to pour out My fury on them, To complete Mine  anger against them, In the midst of the land of Egypt. 
26O 020:009 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it]  before the eyes of the nations, In whose midst they [are],  Before whose eyes I became known to them, To bring them out  from the land of Egypt. 
26O 020:010 And I bring them out of the land of Egypt, And I bring  them in unto the wilderness, 
26O 020:011 And I give to them My statutes, And my judgments I caused  them to know, Which the man who doth -- liveth by them. 
26O 020:012 And also My sabbaths I have given to them, To be for a  sign between Me and them, To know that I [am] Jehovah their  sanctifier. 
26O 020:013 And -- rebel against me do the house of Israel in the  wilderness, In My statutes they have not walked, And My  judgments they have despised, Which the man who doth -- liveth  by them. And My sabbaths they have greatly polluted, And I say  to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them. 
26O 020:014 And I do [it] for My name's sake, Not to pollute [it]  before the eyes of the nations, Before whose eyes I brought  them forth. 
26O 020:015 And also, I, I have lifted up My hand to them in the  wilderness, Not to bring them in to the land that I had given,  Flowing with milk and honey, A beauty it [is] to all the lands, 
26O 020:016 Because against My judgments they did kick, And in My  statutes they have not walked, And My sabbaths they have  polluted, For after their idols their heart is going. 
26O 020:017 And Mine eye hath pity on them -- against destroying them,  And I have not made of them an end in the wilderness. 
26O 020:018 And I say to their sons in the wilderness: In the statutes  of your fathers ye walk not, And their judgments ye do not  observe, And with their idols ye are not defiled. 
26O 020:019 I [am] Jehovah your God, in My statutes walk, And My  judgments observe, and do them, 
26O 020:020 And My sabbaths sanctify, And they have been for a sign  between Me and you, To know that I, Jehovah, [am] your God. 
26O 020:021 And -- the sons rebel against Me, In My statutes they have  not walked, And My judgments they have not observed -- to do  them, Which the man who doth -- liveth by them. My sabbaths  they have polluted, And I say to pour out My fury upon them, To  complete Mine anger against them in the wilderness. 
26O 020:022 And I have turned back My hand, And I do [it] for My  name's sake, Not to pollute [it] before the eyes of the  nations, Before whose eyes I brought them out. 
26O 020:023 I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the  wilderness, To scatter them among nations, And to spread them  through lands. 
26O 020:024 Because My judgments they have not done, And My statutes  they have despised, And My sabbaths they have polluted, And  after idols of their fathers have their eyes been. 
26O 020:025 And I also, I have given to them statutes not good, And  judgments by which they do not live. 
26O 020:026 And I defile them by their own gifts, By causing to pass  away every opener of a womb, So that I make them desolate, So  that they know that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 020:027 Therefore, speak unto the house of Israel, son of man, and  thou hast said unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Still in  this have your fathers reviled Me, In their committing against  Me a trespass. 
26O 020:028 And I bring them in unto the land, That I did lift up My  hand to give to them, And they see every high hill, and every  thick tree, And they sacrifice there their sacrifices, And give  there the provocation of their offering, And make there their  sweet fragrance, And they pour out there their libations. 
26O 020:029 And I say unto them: What [is] the high place whither ye  are going in? And its name is called `high place' to this day. 
26O 020:030 Therefore, say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the  Lord Jehovah: In the way of your fathers are ye defiled? And  after their detestable things go a-whoring? 
26O 020:031 And in the offering of your gifts, In causing your sons to  pass through fire, Ye are defiled by all your idols to this  day, And I am sought by you, O house of Israel! I live -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I am not sought by you. 
26O 020:032 And that which is going up on your mind, It is not at all  -- in that ye are saying: We will be as the nations, as the  families of the lands, To serve wood and stone. 
26O 020:033 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Do not I,  with a strong hand, And with a stretched-out arm, And with fury  poured out -- rule over you? 
26O 020:034 And I have brought you forth from the peoples, And  assembled you from the lands In which ye have been scattered,  With a strong hand and with a stretched-out arm, And with fury  poured out. 
26O 020:035 And I have brought you in unto the wilderness of the  peoples, And have been judged with you there face to face. 
26O 020:036 As I was judged with your fathers, In the wilderness of  the land of Egypt, So I am judged with you, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 020:037 And I have caused you to pass under the rod, And brought  you into the bond of the covenant, 
26O 020:038 And cleared out from you the rebels, And them  transgressing against Me, From the land of their sojournings I  bring them out, And unto the land of Israel they come not, And  ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 020:039 And ye, O house of Israel, thus said the Lord Jehovah:  Each his idols -- go -- serve ye, And, afterwards, if ye are  not hearkening to me, And My holy name ye do not pollute any  more by your gifts, and by your idols. 
26O 020:040 For, in My holy mountain, In the mountain of the height of  Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, There serve Me do  all the house of Israel, All of it, in the land -- there I  accept them, And there I do seek your heave-offerings, And with  the first-fruit of your gifts, With all your holy things. 
26O 020:041 With sweet fragrance I do accept you, In My bringing you  out from the peoples, And I have assembled you from the lands  In which ye have been scattered, And I have been sanctified in  you Before the eyes of the nations. 
26O 020:042 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My bringing you  to the ground of Israel, Unto the land that I did lift up My  hand To give it to your fathers, 
26O 020:043 And ye have remembered there your ways, And all your  doings, In which ye have been defiled, And ye have been  loathsome in your own faces, For all your evils that ye have  done. 
26O 020:044 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My dealing with  you for My name's sake, Not according to your evil ways, And  according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 020:045 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 020:046 Son of man, set thy face the way of Teman, and prophesy  unto the south, and prophesy unto the forest of the field --  the south; 
26O 020:047 and thou hast said to the forest of the south: Hear a word  of Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am kindling in  thee a fire, And it hath devoured in thee every moist tree, and  every dry tree, Not quenched is the glowing flames, And burnt  by it have been all faces from south to north. 
26O 020:048 And seen have all flesh, that I, Jehovah, have kindled it  -- it is not quenched.' 
26O 020:049 And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, They are saying of me, Is he  not using similes? 
26O 021:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 021:002 `Son of man, set thy face unto Jerusalem, and prophesy unto  the holy places, and prophesy unto the ground of Israel; 
26O 021:003 and thou hast said unto the ground of Israel: Thus said  Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, And have brought out My sword  from its scabbard, And have cut off from thee righteous and  wicked. 
26O 021:004 Because that I have cut off from thee righteous and wicked,  Therefore go out doth My sword from its scabbard, Unto all  flesh, from south to north. 
26O 021:005 And known have all flesh that I, Jehovah, Have brought out  My sword from its scabbard, It doth not turn back any more. 
26O 021:006 And thou, son of man, sigh with breaking of loins, yea,  with bitterness thou dost sigh before their eyes, 
26O 021:007 and it hath come to pass, when they say unto thee, For what  art thou sighing? that thou hast said: Because of the report,  for it is coming, And melted hath every heart, And feeble hath  been all hands, And weak is every spirit, And all knees go --  waters, Lo, it is coming, yea, it hath been, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 021:008 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 021:009 `Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said, Thus said  Jehovah, say: A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also polished. 
26O 021:010 So as to slaughter a slaughter it is sharpened. So as to  have brightness it is polished, Desire hath rejoiced the  sceptre of my son, It is despising every tree. 
26O 021:011 And he giveth it for polishing, For laying hold of by the  hand. It is sharpened -- the sword -- and polished, To give it  into the hand of a slayer. 
26O 021:012 Cry and howl, son of man, For it hath been among My  people, It [is] among all the princes of Israel, Cast unto the  sword have been My people. Therefore strike on thy thigh, 
26O 021:013 Because [it is] a trier, And what if even the sceptre it  is despising? It shall not be, an affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah. 
26O 021:014 And thou, son of man, prophesy, And smite hand on hand,  And bent is the sword a third time, The sword of the wounded!  It [is] the sword of the wounded -- the great one, That is  entering the inner chamber to them. 
26O 021:015 To melt the heart, and to multiply the ruins, By all their  gates I have set the point of a sword. Ah, it is made for  brightness, Wrapt up for slaughter. 
26O 021:016 Take possession of the right, place thyself at the left,  Whither thy face is appointed. 
26O 021:017 And I also, I smite My hand on my hand, And have caused My  fury to rest; I, Jehovah, have spoken.' 
26O 021:018 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 021:019 `And thou, son of man, appoint for thee two ways, for the  coming in of the sword of the king of Babylon; from one land  they come forth, both of them, and a station prepare thou, at  the top of the way of the city prepare [it]. 
26O 021:020 A way appoint for the coming of the sword, Unto Rabbath of  the sons of Ammon, And to Judah, in Jerusalem -- the fenced. 
26O 021:021 For stood hath the king of Babylon at the head of the way,  At the top of the two ways, to use divination, He hath moved  lightly with the arrows, He hath asked at the teraphim, He hath  looked on the liver. 
26O 021:022 At his right hath been the divination -- Jerusalem, To  place battering-rams, To open the mouth with slaughter, To lift  up a voice with shouting, To place battering-rams against the  gates, To pour out a mount, to build a fortification. 
26O 021:023 And it hath been to them as a false divination in their  eyes, Who have sworn oaths to them, And he is causing iniquity  to be remembered to be caught. 
26O 021:024 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your  causing your iniquity to be remembered, In your transgressions  being revealed, For your sins being seen, in all your doings,  Because of your being remembered, By the hand ye are caught. 
26O 021:025 And thou, wounded, wicked one, Prince of Israel, whose day  hath come, In the time of the iniquity of the end! 
26O 021:026 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn aside the mitre, and bear  away the crown, This -- not this -- the low make high, And the  high make low. 
26O 021:027 An overturn, overturn, overturn, I make it, Also this hath  not been till the coming of Him, Whose [is] the judgment, and I  have given it. 
26O 021:028 And thou, son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus  said the Lord Jehovah concerning the sons of Ammon, and  concerning their reproach: and thou hast said: A sword, a  sword, open for slaughter, Polished to the utmost for  brightness! 
26O 021:029 In the seeing for thee of a vain thing, In the divining  for thee of a lie, To put thee on the necks of the wounded of  the wicked, whose day hath come, In the time of the iniquity of  the end. 
26O 021:030 Turn [it] back unto its scabbard, In the place where thou  wast produced, In the land of thy birth I do judge thee. 
26O 021:031 And I have poured on thee Mine indignation, With fire of  My wrath I blow against thee, And have given thee into the hand  of brutish men -- artificers of destruction. 
26O 021:032 To the fire thou art for fuel, Thy blood is in the midst  of the land, Thou art not remembered, For I, Jehovah, have  spoken!' 
26O 022:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 022:002 `And thou, son of man, dost thou judge? dost thou judge the  city of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its  abominations, 
26O 022:003 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city is  shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And  it hath made idols on it for defilement. 
26O 022:004 By thy blood that thou hast shed thou hast been guilty, And  by thine idols that thou hast made thou hast been defiled, And  thou causest thy days to draw near, And art come in unto thine  years, Therefore I have given thee a reproach to nations, And a  derision to all the lands. 
26O 022:005 The near and the far-off from thee scoff at thee, O defiled  of name -- abounding in trouble. 
26O 022:006 Lo, princes of Israel -- each according to his arm Have  been in thee to shed blood. 
26O 022:007 Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner  they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they  oppressed in thee. 
26O 022:008 My holy things thou hast despised, And My sabbaths thou  hast polluted. 
26O 022:009 Men of slander have been in thee to shed blood, And on the  mountains they have eaten in thee, Wickedness they have done in  thy midst. 
26O 022:010 The nakedness of a father hath one uncovered in thee, The  defiled of impurity they humbled in thee. 
26O 022:011 And each with the wife of his neighbour hath done  abomination, And each his daughter-in-law hath defiled through  wickedness, And each his sister, his father's daughter, hath  humbled in thee. 
26O 022:012 A bribe they have taken in thee to shed blood, Usury and  increase thou hast taken, And cuttest off thy neighbour by  oppression, And Me thou hast forgotten, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah! 
26O 022:013 And lo, I have smitten My hand, Because of thy dishonest  gain that thou hast gained, And for thy blood that hath been in  thy midst. 
26O 022:014 Doth thy heart stand -- are thy hands strong, For the days  that I am dealing with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken and have  done [it]. 
26O 022:015 And I have scattered thee among nations, And have spread  thee out among lands, And consumed thy uncleanness out of thee. 
26O 022:016 And thou hast been polluted in thyself Before the eyes of  nations, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.' 
26O 022:017 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of  man, 
26O 022:018 The house of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them  [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a  furnace -- dross hath silver been, 
26O 022:019 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your all  becoming dross, Therefore, lo, I am gathering you unto the  midst of Jerusalem, 
26O 022:020 A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and  tin, Unto the midst of a furnace -- to blow on it fire, to melt  it, So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let  rest, and have melted you. 
26O 022:021 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of  My wrath, And ye have been melted in its midst. 
26O 022:022 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are  ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, I  have poured out My fury upon you.' 
26O 022:023 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 022:024 `Son of man, say to it, Thou [art] a land, It [is] not  cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation. 
26O 022:025 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, as a  roaring lion tearing prey; The soul they have devoured, Wealth  and glory they have taken, Its widows have multiplied in its  midst. 
26O 022:026 Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy  things, Between holy and common they have not made separation,  And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known,  And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am  pierced in their midst. 
26O 022:027 Its princes in its midst [are] as wolves, Tearing prey, to  shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest  gain. 
26O 022:028 And its prophets have daubed for them with chalk, Seeing a  vain thing, and divining for them a lie, Saying, `Thus said the  Lord Jehovah:' And Jehovah hath not spoken. 
26O 022:029 The people of the land have used oppression, And have  taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have  oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed -- without judgment. 
26O 022:030 And I seek of them a man making a fence, And standing in  the breach before Me, In behalf of the land -- not to destroy  it, And I have not found. 
26O 022:031 And I pour out on them mine indignation, By fire of My  wrath I have consumed them, Their way on their own head I have  put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 023:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Son of  man, 
26O 023:002 Two women were daughters of one mother, 
26O 023:003 And they go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have  gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And  there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity. 
26O 023:004 And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her  sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to  their names -- Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is]  Aholibah. 
26O 023:005 And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on  her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians, 
26O 023:006 Clothed with blue -- governors and prefects, Desirable  young men all of them, Horsemen, riding on horses, 
26O 023:007 And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the  sons of Asshur, All of them -- even all on whom she doted, By  all their idols she hath been defiled. 
26O 023:008 And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For  with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves  of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her. 
26O 023:009 Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers,  Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she doted. 
26O 023:010 They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her  daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain,  And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with  her. 
26O 023:011 And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her  doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the  whoredoms of her sister. 
26O 023:012 On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects,  Neighbouring ones -- clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on  horses, Desirable young men all of them. 
26O 023:013 And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them  both. 
26O 023:014 And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved  men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead, 
26O 023:015 Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread  out on their heads, The appearance of rulers -- all of them,  The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their  birth. 
26O 023:016 And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And  sendeth messengers to them, to Chaldea. 
26O 023:017 And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of  loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is  defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them. 
26O 023:018 And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her  nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated  was My soul from off her sister. 
26O 023:019 And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of  her youth, When she went a-whoring in the land of Egypt. 
26O 023:020 And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the  flesh of asses, And the issue of horses -- their issue. 
26O 023:021 Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing  out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy  youth. 
26O 023:022 Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I  am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath  been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from  round about. 
26O 023:023 Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and  Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men,  governors and prefects, All of them -- rulers and proclaimed  ones, Riding on horses, all of them. 
26O 023:024 And they have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and  wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and  helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set  before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments. 
26O 023:025 And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have  dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn  aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and  thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by  fire. 
26O 023:026 And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have  taken thy beauteous jewels. 
26O 023:027 And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And  thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up  thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again. 
26O 023:028 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into  a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast  alienated. 
26O 023:029 And they have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have  taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare,  And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the  wickedness of thy whoredoms. 
26O 023:030 To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after  nations, Because thou hast been defiled with their idols, 
26O 023:031 In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have  given her cup into thy hand. 
26O 023:032 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou  dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter  and for scorn,) Abundant to contain. 
26O 023:033 With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of  astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy sister Samaria. 
26O 023:034 And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its  earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou  pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah, 
26O 023:035 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast  forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou  also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.' 
26O 023:036 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, Dost thou judge  Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then to them their abominations. 
26O 023:037 For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their  hands, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their  sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for  food. 
26O 023:038 Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My  sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted. 
26O 023:039 And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They  also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And  lo, thus they have done in the midst of My house, 
26O 023:040 And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom  a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou  hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment. 
26O 023:041 And thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table  arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it. 
26O 023:042 And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And  unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the  wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a  beauteous crown on their heads. 
26O 023:043 And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they  commit her whoredoms -- she also! 
26O 023:044 And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish  woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah --  the wicked women. 
26O 023:045 As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of  adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For  they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands. 
26O 023:046 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an  assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling. 
26O 023:047 And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And  cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they  do slay, And their houses with fire they burn. 
26O 023:048 And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And  instructed have been all the women, And they do not according  to your wickedness. 
26O 023:049 And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of  your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord  Jehovah! 
26O 024:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year,  in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying, 
26O 024:002 `Son of man, write for thee the name of the day -- this  self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem  in this self-same day -- 
26O 024:003 and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast  said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot,  to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water, 
26O 024:004 To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and  shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in. 
26O 024:005 The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the  bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its  midst. 
26O 024:006 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the city of  blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come  out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not  fallen on it hath a lot. 
26O 024:007 For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a  rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To  cover it over with dust. 
26O 024:008 To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her  blood on a clear place of a rock -- not to be covered. 
26O 024:009 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the city of  blood, yea, I -- I make great the pile. 
26O 024:010 Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the  flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt. 
26O 024:011 And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its  brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its  uncleanness, Consumed is its scum. 
26O 024:012 [With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance  of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum. 
26O 024:013 In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have  cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine  uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My  fury to rest on thee. 
26O 024:014 I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done  [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According  to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged  thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 024:015 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 024:016 `Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine  eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let  thy tear come. 
26O 024:017 Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning,  thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy  feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of  men thou dost not eat.' 
26O 024:018 And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife  dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been  commanded. 
26O 024:019 And the people say unto me, `Dost thou not declare to us  what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?' 
26O 024:020 And I say unto them, `A word of Jehovah hath been unto me,  saying: 
26O 024:021 Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:  Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your  strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul,  And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword  they do fall. 
26O 024:022 And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are  not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat. 
26O 024:023 And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are]  on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have  wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto  another. 
26O 024:024 And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all  that he hath done ye do; In its coming in -- ye have known that  I [am] the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 024:025 And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking  from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire  of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their  daughters? 
26O 024:026 In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause  the ears to hear. 
26O 024:027 In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou  speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to  them for a type. And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.' 
26O 025:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 025:002 `Son of man, set thy face unto the sons of Ammon, and  prophesy against them; 
26O 025:003 and thou hast said to the sons of Ammon: Hear ye a word of  the Lord Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy  saying, Aha, to My sanctuary, Because it hath been polluted,  And unto the ground of Israel, Because it hath been desolate,  And unto the house of Judah, Because they have gone into a  removal: 
26O 025:004 Therefore, lo, I am giving thee to sons of the east for a  possession, And they set their towers in thee, And have placed  in thee their tabernacles. They eat thy fruit, and they drink  thy milk, 
26O 025:005 And I have given Rabbah for a habitation of camels, And the  sons of Ammon for the crouching of a flock, And ye have known  that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 025:006 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy clapping the  hand, And of thy stamping with the foot, And thou rejoicest  with all thy despite in soul Against the ground of Israel, 
26O 025:007 Therefore, lo, I -- I have stretched out My hand against  thee, And have given thee for a portion to nations, And I have  cut thee off from the peoples, And caused thee to perish from  the lands; I destroy thee, and thou hast known that I [am]  Jehovah. 
26O 025:008 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the saying of Moab  and Seir: Lo, as all the nations [is] the house of Judah; 
26O 025:009 Therefore, lo, I am opening the shoulder of Moab -- From  the cities -- from his cities -- from his frontier, The beauty  of the land, Beth-Jeshimoth, Baal-Meon, and Kiriathaim, 
26O 025:010 To the sons of the east, with the sons of Ammon, And I  have given it for a possession, So that the sons of Ammon are  not remembered among nations. 
26O 025:011 And in Moab I do judgments, And they have known that I  [am] Jehovah. 
26O 025:012 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of Edom,  In taking vengeance on the house of Judah, Yea, they are very  guilty, And they have taken vengeance on them. 
26O 025:013 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have stretched  out My hand against Edom, And I have cut off from it man and  beast, And given it up -- a waste, from Teman even to Dedan, By  sword they do fall. 
26O 025:014 And I have given My vengeance on Edom, By the hand of My  people Israel, And they have done in Edom, According to My  anger, and according to My fury, And they have known My  vengeance, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 025:015 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of the doings of the  Philistines in vengeance, And they take vengeance with despite  in soul, To destroy -- the enmity age-during! 
26O 025:016 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stretching  out My hand against the Philistines, And I have cut off the  Cherethim, And destroyed the remnant of the haven of the sea, 
26O 025:017 And done upon them great vengeance with furious reproofs,  And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving out My  vengeance on them! 
26O 026:001 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first  of the month, there hath been a word of Jehovah unto me,  saying: `Son of man, 
26O 026:002 Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath  been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round  unto me, I am filled -- she hath been laid waste, 
26O 026:003 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against  thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many  nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up. 
26O 026:004 And they have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have  broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her,  And made her for a clear place of a rock. 
26O 026:005 A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea,  For I -- I have spoken -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,  And she hath been for a spoil to nations. 
26O 026:006 And her daughters who [are] in the field, by sword they are  slain, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, 
26O 026:007 For, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto  Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north -- a king  of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even  an assembly, and a numerous people. 
26O 026:008 Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he  hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee  a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler. 
26O 026:009 And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy  walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons. 
26O 026:010 From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their  dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake  do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into  a city broken-up. 
26O 026:011 With hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places,  Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy  strength to the earth come down. 
26O 026:012 And they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered  thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy  desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood,  and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place. 
26O 026:013 And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the  voice of thy harps is heard no more. 
26O 026:014 And I have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A  spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any  more, For I, Jehovah, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah. 
26O 026:015 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Do not -- from the  noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the  slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake? 
26O 026:016 And come down from off their thrones have all princes of  the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their  embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the  earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they  have been astonished at thee, 
26O 026:017 And have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to  thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas,  The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her  inhabitants, Who put their terror on all her inhabitants! 
26O 026:018 Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled  have been the isles that [are] in the sea, at thine outgoing. 
26O 026:019 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: In my making thee a city  wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing  up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great  waters. 
26O 026:020 And I have caused thee to go down, With those going down  to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to  dwell in the land, The lower parts -- in wastes of old, With  those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited,  And I have given beauty in the land of the living. 
26O 026:021 Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art  sought, and art not found any more -- to the age, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 027:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 027:002 `And thou, son of man, lift up concerning Tyre a  lamentation, and thou hast said to Tyre: 
26O 027:003 O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the  peoples unto many isles, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre,  thou -- thou hast said: I [am] the perfection of beauty. 
26O 027:004 In the heart of the seas [are] thy borders, Thy builders  have perfected thy beauty. 
26O 027:005 Of firs of Senir they have built to thee all thy  double-boarded ships, Of cedars of Lebanon they have taken to  make a mast for thee, 
26O 027:006 Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars, Thy bench they have  made of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from isles of Chittim. 
26O 027:007 Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt hath been thy  sail, To be to thee for an ensign, Of blue and purple from  isles of Elishah hath been thy covering. 
26O 027:008 Inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad have been rowers to thee,  Thy wise men, O Tyre, have been in thee, They [are] thy pilots. 
26O 027:009 Elders of Gebal and its wise men have been in thee,  Strengthening thy breach; All ships of the sea and their  mariners, Have been in thee, to trade [with] thy merchandise. 
26O 027:010 Persian and Lud and Phut Have been in thy forces -- thy  men of war. Shield and helmet they hung up in thee, They --  they have given out thine honour. 
26O 027:011 The sons of Arvad, and thy force, [Are] on thy walls round  about, And short swordsmen in thy towers have been, Their  shields they have hung up on thy walls round about, They --  they have perfected thy beauty. 
26O 027:012 Tarshish [is] thy merchant, Because of the abundance of  all wealth, For silver, iron, tin, and lead, They have given  out thy remnants. 
26O 027:013 Javan, Tubal, and Meshech -- they [are] thy merchants, For  persons of men, and vessels of brass, They have given out thy  merchandise. 
26O 027:014 They of the house of Togarmah, [For] horses, and riding  steeds, and mules, They have given out thy remnants. 
26O 027:015 Sons of Dedan [are] thy merchants, Many isles [are] the  mart of thy hand, Horns of ivory and ebony they sent back thy  reward. 
26O 027:016 Aram [is] thy merchant, Because of the abundance of thy  works, For emerald, purple, and embroidery, And fine linen, and  coral, and agate, They have given out thy remnants. 
26O 027:017 Judah and the land of Israel -- they [are] thy merchants,  For wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, And honey, and oil, and balm,  They have given out thy merchandise. 
26O 027:018 Damascus [is] thy merchant, For the abundance of thy  works, Because of the abundance of all wealth, For wine of  Helbon, and white wool. 
26O 027:019 Vedan and Javan go about with thy remnants, They have  given shining iron, cassia, and cane, In thy merchandise it  hath been. 
26O 027:020 Dedan [is] thy merchant, For clothes of freedom for  riding. 
26O 027:021 Arabia, and all princes of Kedar, They [are] the traders  of thy hand, For lambs, and rams, and he-goats, In these thy  merchants. 
26O 027:022 Merchants of Sheba and Raamah -- they [are] thy merchants,  For the chief of all spices, And for every precious stone, and  gold, They have given out thy remnants. 
26O 027:023 Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, merchants of Sheba, Asshur --  Chilmad -- [are] thy merchants, 
26O 027:024 They [are] thy merchants for perfect things, For wrappings  of blue, and embroidery, And for treasuries of rich apparel,  With cords bound and girded, for thy merchandise, 
26O 027:025 Ships of Tarshish [are] thy double walls of thy  merchandise, And thou art filled and honoured greatly, In the  heart of the seas. 
26O 027:026 Into great waters have they brought thee, Those rowing  thee, The east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas. 
26O 027:027 Thy wealth and thy remnants, Thy merchandise, thy  mariners, And thy pilots, strengtheners of thy breach, And the  traders of thy merchandise, And all thy men of war, who [are]  in thee, And in all thine assembly that [is] in thy midst, Fall  into the heart of the seas in the day of thy fall, 
26O 027:028 At the voice of the cry of thy pilots shake do the  suburbs. 
26O 027:029 And come down from their ships have all handling an oar,  Mariners, all the pilots of the sea, on the land they stand, 
26O 027:030 And have sounded for thee with their voice, And cry  bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, In ashes they  do roll themselves. 
26O 027:031 And they have made for thee baldness, And they have girded  on sackcloth, And they have wept for thee, In bitterness of  soul -- a bitter mourning. 
26O 027:032 And lifted up for thee have their sons a lamentation, And  they have lamented over thee, who [is] as Tyre? As the cut-off  one in the midst of the sea? 
26O 027:033 With the outgoing of thy remnants from the seas, Thou  hast filled many peoples, With the abundance of thy riches, and  thy merchandise, Thou hast made rich things of earth. 
26O 027:034 The time of [thy] being broken by the seas in the depths  of the waters, Thy merchandise and all thy assembly in thy  midst have fallen. 
26O 027:035 All inhabitants of the isles have been astonished at thee,  And their kings have been sore afraid, They have been troubled  in countenance. 
26O 027:036 Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for thee, Wastes  thou hast been, and thou art not -- to the age!' 
26O 028:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 028:002 `Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre: Thus said the Lord  Jehovah: Because thy heart hath been high, And thou dost say: A  god I [am], The habitation of God I have inhabited, In the  heart of the seas, And thou [art] man, and not God, And thou  givest out thy heart as the heart of God, 
26O 028:003 Lo, thou [art] wiser than Daniel, No hidden thing have they  concealed from thee. 
26O 028:004 By thy wisdom and by thine understanding Thou hast made for  thee wealth, And makest gold and silver in thy treasuries. 
26O 028:005 By the abundance of thy wisdom, Through thy merchandise,  Thou hast multiplied thy wealth, And high is thy heart through  thy wealth. 
26O 028:006 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of thy  giving out thy heart as the heart of God, 
26O 028:007 Therefore, lo, I am bringing in against thee strangers, The  terrible of the nations, And they have drawn out their swords  Against the beauty of thy wisdom, And they have pierced thy  brightness. 
26O 028:008 To destruction they bring thee down, Thou diest by the  deaths of the wounded, in the heart of the seas. 
26O 028:009 Dost thou really say, `I [am] God,' Before him who is  slaying thee? And thou [art] man, and not God, In the hand of  him who is piercing thee. 
26O 028:010 The deaths of the uncircumcised thou diest, By the hand of  strangers, for I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah.' 
26O 028:011 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 028:012 `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for the king of Tyre,  And thou hast said to him: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Thou art  sealing up a measurement, Full of wisdom, and perfect in  beauty. 
26O 028:013 In Eden, the garden of God, thou hast been, Every precious  stone thy covering, Ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and  jasper, Sapphire, emerald, and carbuncle, and gold, The  workmanship of thy tabrets, and of thy pipes, In thee in the  day of thy being produced, have been prepared. 
26O 028:014 Thou [art] an anointed cherub who is covering, And I have  set thee in the holy mount, God thou hast been, In the midst of  stones of fire thou hast walked up and down. 
26O 028:015 Perfect [art] thou in thy ways, From the day of thy being  produced, Till perversity hath been found in thee. 
26O 028:016 By the abundance of thy merchandise They have filled thy  midst with violence, And thou dost sin, And I thrust thee from  the mount of God, And I destroy thee, O covering cherub, From  the midst of the stones of fire. 
26O 028:017 High hath been thy heart, because of thy beauty, Thou hast  corrupted thy wisdom because of thy brightness, On the earth I  have cast thee, Before kings I have set thee, to look on thee, 
26O 028:018 From the abundance of thy iniquity, By the perversity of  thy traffic, Thou hast polluted thy sanctuaries, And I bring  forth fire from thy midst, It hath devoured thee, And I make  thee become ashes on the earth, Before the eyes of all  beholding thee. 
26O 028:019 All knowing thee among the peoples Have been astonished at  thee, Wastes thou hast been, and thou art not -- to the age.' 
26O 028:020 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 028:021 `Son of man, set thy face unto Zidon, and prophesy  concerning it; 
26O 028:022 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am]  against thee, O Zidon, And I have been honoured in thy midst,  And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My doing in her  judgments, And I have been sanctified in her. 
26O 028:023 And I have sent into her pestilence, And blood into her  out-places, The wounded hath been judged in her midst, By the  sword upon her round about, And they have known that I [am]  Jehovah. 
26O 028:024 And there is no more to the house of Israel A pricking  brier, and paining thorn, Of all round about them -- despising  them, And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 028:025 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In My gathering the house of  Israel, Out of the peoples among whom they were scattered, I  have been sanctified in them, Before the eyes of the nations,  And they have dwelt on their ground, That I gave to My servant,  to Jacob, 
26O 028:026 And they have dwelt on it confidently, And builded houses,  and planted vineyards, And dwelt confidently -- in My doing  judgments, On all those despising them round about, And they  have known that I, Jehovah, [am] their God!' 
26O 029:001 In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], in the twelfth of  the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me, saying, 
26O 029:002 `Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt,  and prophesy concerning him, and concerning Egypt -- all of it. 
26O 029:003 Speak, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo,  I [am] against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt! The great dragon  that is crouching in the midst of his floods, Who hath said, My  flood [is] my own, And I -- I have made it [for] myself. 
26O 029:004 And I have put hooks in thy jaws, And I have caused the  fish of thy floods to cleave to thy scales, And I have caused  thee to come up from the midst of thy floods, And every fish of  thy floods to thy scales doth cleave. 
26O 029:005 And I have left thee in the wilderness, Thou and every fish  of thy floods, On the face of the field thou dost fall, Thou  art not gathered nor assembled, To the beast of the earth and  to the fowl of the heavens I have given thee for food. 
26O 029:006 And known have all inhabitants of Egypt That I [am]  Jehovah, Because of their being a staff of reed to the house of  Israel. 
26O 029:007 In their taking hold of thee by thy hand, -- thou art  crushed, And hast rent to them all the shoulder, And in their  leaning on thee thou art broken, And hast caused all their  thighs to stand. 
26O 029:008 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing  in against thee a sword, And have cut off from thee man and  beast. 
26O 029:009 And the land of Egypt hath been for a desolation and a  waste, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. Because he  said: The flood [is] mine, and I made [it]. 
26O 029:010 Therefore, lo, I [am] against thee, and against thy  floods, And have given the land of Egypt for wastes, A waste, a  desolation, from Migdol to Syene, And unto the border of Cush. 
26O 029:011 Not pass over into it doth a foot of man, Yea, the foot of  beast doth not pass into it, Nor is it inhabited forty years. 
26O 029:012 And I have made the land of Egypt a desolation, In the  midst of desolate lands, And its cities, in the midst of waste  cities, Are a desolation forty years, And I have scattered the  Egyptians among nations, And I have dispersed them through  lands. 
26O 029:013 But thus said the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years  I gather the Egyptians Out of the peoples whither they have  been scattered, 
26O 029:014 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Egypt, And I  have brought them back [To] the land of Pathros, to the land of  their birth, And they have been there a low kingdom. 
26O 029:015 Of the kingdoms it is lowest, And it lifteth not up itself  any more above the nations, And I have made them few, So as not  to rule among nations. 
26O 029:016 And it is no more to the house of Israel for a confidence,  Bringing iniquity to remembrance, By their turning after them,  And they have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 029:017 And it cometh to pass, in the twenty and seventh year, in  the first [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of  Jehovah been unto me, saying: 
26O 029:018 `Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Hath caused  his force to serve a great service against Tyre, Every head  [is] bald -- every shoulder peeled, And reward he had none, nor  his force, out of Tyre, For the service that he served against  it. 
26O 029:019 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, I am giving to  Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt, And he hath  taken away its store, And hath taken its spoil, and taken its  prey, And it hath been a reward to his force. 
26O 029:020 His wage for which he laboured I have given to him, The  land of Egypt -- in that they wrought for Me, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 029:021 In that day I cause to shoot up a horn to the house of  Israel, And to thee I give an opening of the mouth in their  midst, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!' 
26O 030:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 030:002 `Son of man, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the  Lord Jehovah: Howl ye, ha! for the day! 
26O 030:003 For near [is] a day, near [is] a day to Jehovah! A day of  clouds, the time of nations it is. 
26O 030:004 And come in hath a sword to Egypt, And there hath been  great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And  they have taken its store, And broken down have been its  foundations. 
26O 030:005 Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And  the sons of the land of the covenant with them by sword do  fall, 
26O 030:006 Thus said Jehovah: And -- fallen have supporters of Egypt,  And come down hath the arrogance of her strength, From Migdol  to Syene, by sword they fall in her, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah. 
26O 030:007 And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate  lands, And its cities are in the midst of wasted cities. 
26O 030:008 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My giving fire  against Egypt, And broken have been all her helpers. 
26O 030:009 In that day go forth do messengers from before Me in ships,  To trouble confident Cush, And there hath been great pain among  them, As the day of Egypt, for lo, it hath come. 
26O 030:010 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I have caused the multitude of  Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, 
26O 030:011 He and his people with him -- the terrible of nations, Are  brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their  swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the  wounded. 
26O 030:012 And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the  land into the hand of evil doers, And I have made desolate the  land, And its fulness, by the hand of strangers, I, Jehovah,  have spoken. 
26O 030:013 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And -- I have destroyed idols,  And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And a prince of the  land of Egypt there is no more, And I give fear in the land of  Egypt. 
26O 030:014 And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire  against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No, 
26O 030:015 And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of  Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No. 
26O 030:016 And I have given fire against Egypt, Greatly pained is  Sin, and No is to be rent, And Noph hath daily distresses. 
26O 030:017 The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth by sword do fall, And  these into captivity do go. 
26O 030:018 And in Tehaphnehes hath the day been dark, In My breaking  there the yokes of Egypt, And ceased in her hath the excellency  of her strength, She -- a cloud doth cover her, And her  daughters into captivity do go. 
26O 030:019 And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known  that I [am] Jehovah.' 
26O 030:020 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first  [month], in the seventh of the month, hath a word of Jehovah  been unto me, saying: `Son of man, 
26O 030:021 The arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, I have broken, And lo,  it hath not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to  bind it, To strengthen it -- to lay hold on the sword. 
26O 030:022 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against  Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong  one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out  of his hand, 
26O 030:023 And scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have  spread them through lands, 
26O 030:024 And strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And I  have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms  of Pharaoh, And he hath groaned the groans of a pierced one --  before him. 
26O 030:025 And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon,  And the arms of Pharaoh do fall down, And they have known that  I [am] Jehovah, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king  of Babylon, And he hath stretched it out toward the land of  Egypt. 
26O 030:026 And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I  have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am]  Jehovah!' 
26O 031:001 And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third  [month], in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been  unto me, saying: 
26O 031:002 `Son of man, say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and unto his  multitude: To whom hast thou been like in thy greatness? 
26O 031:003 Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading  bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its  foliage been. 
26O 031:004 Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with  its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits  it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field. 
26O 031:005 Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of  the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his  branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth, 
26O 031:006 In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens,  And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the  field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations. 
26O 031:007 And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin  shoots, For his root hath been by great waters. 
26O 031:008 Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not  been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as  his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto  him in his beauty, 
26O 031:009 Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots,  And envy him do all trees of Eden that [are] in the garden of  God. 
26O 031:010 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou  hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between  thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness, 
26O 031:011 I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth  sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out. 
26O 031:012 And cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and  they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his  thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of  the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the  land, and they leave him. 
26O 031:013 On his ruin dwell do all fowls of the heavens, And on his  boughs have been all the beasts of the field, 
26O 031:014 In order that none of the trees of the waters May become  haughty because of their stature, Nor give their foliage  between thickets, Nor any drinking waters stand up unto them in  their haughtiness, For all of them are given up to death, Unto  the earth -- the lower part, In the midst of the sons of men,  Unto those going down to the pit. 
26O 031:015 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of his going down  to sheol I have caused mourning, I have covered for him the  deep, and diminish its flowings, And restrained are many  waters, And I make Lebanon black for him, And all trees of the  field have been covered for him. 
26O 031:016 From the sound of his fall I have caused nations to shake,  In My causing him to go down to sheol, With those going down to  the pit, And comforted in the earth -- the lower part, are all  trees of Eden, The choice and the good of Lebanon, All drinking  waters. 
26O 031:017 Also they with him have gone down to sheol, Unto the  pierced of the sword, And -- his arm -- they dwelt in his shade  in the midst of nations. 
26O 031:018 Unto whom hast thou been thus like, In honour and in  greatness among the trees of Eden, And thou hast been brought  down with the trees of Eden, Unto the earth -- the lower part,  In the midst of the uncircumcised thou liest, With the pierced  of the sword? It [is] Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 032:001 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth  month, in the first of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been  unto me, saying, 
26O 032:002 `Son of man, lift up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of  Egypt, and thou hast said unto him: A young lion of nations  thou hast been like, And thou [art] as a dragon in the seas,  And thou comest forth with thy flowings, And dost trouble the  waters with thy feet, And thou dost foul their flowings. 
26O 032:003 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And -- I have spread out for  thee My net, With an assembly of many peoples, And they have  brought thee up in My net. 
26O 032:004 And I have left thee in the land, On the face of the field  I do cast thee out, And have caused to dwell upon thee every  fowl of the heavens, And have satisfied out of thee the beasts  of the whole earth. 
26O 032:005 And I have put thy flesh on the mountains, And filled the  valleys [with] thy hugeness, 
26O 032:006 And watered the land with thy flowing, From thy blood --  unto the mountains, And streams are filled from thee. 
26O 032:007 And in quenching thee I have covered the heavens, And have  made black their stars, The sun with a cloud I do cover, And  the moon causeth not its light to shine. 
26O 032:008 All luminaries of light in the heavens, I make black over  thee, And I have given darkness over thy land, An affirmation  of the Lord Jehovah, 
26O 032:009 And I have vexed the heart of many peoples, In My bringing  in thy destruction among nations, Unto lands that thou hast not  known. 
26O 032:010 And I have made many peoples astonished at thee, And their  kings are afraid at thee with trembling, In My brandishing My  sword before their faces, And they have trembled every moment,  Each for his life -- in the day of thy fall. 
26O 032:011 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: A sword of the king of  Babylon entereth thee, 
26O 032:012 By swords of the mighty I cause thy multitude to fall, The  terrible of nations -- all of them, And they have spoiled the  excellency of Egypt, And destroyed hath been all her multitude. 
26O 032:013 And I have destroyed all her beasts, From beside many  waters, And trouble them not doth a foot of man any more, Yea,  the hoofs of beasts trouble them not. 
26O 032:014 Then do I cause their waters to sink, And their rivers as  oil I cause to go, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 032:015 In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, And desolated  hath been the land of its fulness, In My smiting all the  inhabitants in it, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 032:016 A lamentation it [is], and they have lamented her,  Daughters of the nations do lament her, For Egypt, and for all  her multitude, they lament her, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah.' 
26O 032:017 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year, in the  fifteenth of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been unto me,  saying, 
26O 032:018 `Son of man, Wail for the multitude of Egypt, And cause it  to go down, It -- and the daughters of honourable nations, Unto  the earth -- the lower parts, With those going down to the pit. 
26O 032:019 Than whom hast thou been more pleasant? Go down, and be  laid with the uncircumcised. 
26O 032:020 In the midst of the pierced of the sword they fall, [To]  the sword she hath been given, They drew her out, and all her  multitude. 
26O 032:021 Speak to him do the gods of the mighty out of the midst of  sheol, With his helpers -- they have gone down, They have lain  with the uncircumcised, The pierced of the sword. 
26O 032:022 There [is] Asshur, and all her assembly, Round about him  [are] his graves, All of them [are] wounded, who are falling by  sword, 
26O 032:023 Whose graves are appointed in the sides of the pit, And  her assembly is round about her grave, All of them wounded,  falling by sword, Because they gave terror in the land of the  living. 
26O 032:024 There [is] Elam, and all her multitude, Round about [is]  her grave, All of them wounded, who are falling by sword, Who  have gone down uncircumcised unto the earth -- the lower parts,  Because they gave their terror in the land of the living, And  they bear their shame with those going down to the pit. 
26O 032:025 In the midst of the wounded they have appointed a bed for  her with all her multitude, Round about him [are] her graves,  All of them uncircumcised, pierced of the sword, For their  terror was given in the land of the living, And they bear their  shame with those going down to the pit, In the midst of the  pierced he hath been put. 
26O 032:026 There [is] Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude, Round  about him [are] her graves, All of them uncircumcised, pierced  of the sword, For they gave their terror in the land of the  living, 
26O 032:027 And they lie not with the mighty, Who are falling of the  uncircumcised, Who have gone down to sheol with their weapons  of war, And they put their swords under their heads, And their  iniquities are on their bones, For the terror of the mighty  [is] in the land of the living. 
26O 032:028 And thou, in the midst of the uncircumcised art broken,  And dost lie with the pierced of the sword. 
26O 032:029 There [is] Edom, her kings, and all her princes, Who have  been given up in their might, With the pierced of the sword,  They with the uncircumcised do lie, And with those going down  to the pit. 
26O 032:030 There [are] princes of the north, All of them, and every  Zidonian, Who have gone down with the pierced in their terror,  Of their might they are ashamed, And they lie uncircumcised  with the pierced of the sword, And they bear their shame with  those going down to the pit. 
26O 032:031 Then doth Pharaoh see, And he hath been comforted for all  his multitude, The pierced of the sword -- Pharaoh and all his  force, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 032:032 For I have given his terror in the land of the living, And  he hath been laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, With  the pierced of the sword -- Pharaoh, and all his multitude, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 033:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 033:002 `Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou  hast said unto them: A land -- when I bring in against it a  sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of  their borders, And made him to them for a watchman. 
26O 033:003 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And  hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people, 
26O 033:004 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he  hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh  him away, His blood is on his head. 
26O 033:005 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken  warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul  hath delivered. 
26O 033:006 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he  hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been  warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them -- a  soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the  hand of the watchman I require. 
26O 033:007 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house  of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou  hast warned them from Me. 
26O 033:008 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one -- thou dost  surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from  his way, He -- the wicked -- in his iniquity doth die, And his  blood from thy hand I require. 
26O 033:009 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to  turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He  in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered. 
26O 033:010 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel:  Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and  our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How,  then, do we live? 
26O 033:011 Say unto them, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But -- in  the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn  back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O  house of Israel? 
26O 033:012 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The  righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day  of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth  not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his  wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the  day of his sinning. 
26O 033:013 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And -- he  hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity,  All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his  perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die. 
26O 033:014 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And --  he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and  righteousness, 
26O 033:015 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth,) In  the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do  perversity, He surely liveth -- he doth not die. 
26O 033:016 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him,  Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live. 
26O 033:017 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord  is not pondered, As to them -- their way is not pondered. 
26O 033:018 In the turning back of the righteous from his  righteousness, And he hath done perversity -- he dieth for it. 
26O 033:019 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness,  And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth. 
26O 033:020 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered,  Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.' 
26O 033:021 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year -- in the tenth  [month], in the fifth of the month -- of our removal, come in  unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, `The  city hath been smitten.' 
26O 033:022 And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening,  before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my  mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is  my mouth, and I have not been silent again. 
26O 033:023 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 033:024 `Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground  of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham -- and  he possesseth the land, and we [are] many -- to us hath the  land been given for a possession. 
26O 033:025 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With  the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols,  And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit! 
26O 033:026 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination,  Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye  possess! 
26O 033:027 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:  I live -- do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword  fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast  I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in  caves by pestilence die. 
26O 033:028 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment,  And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated  have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through. 
26O 033:029 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the  land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their  abominations that they have done. 
26O 033:030 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are  speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the  houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother,  Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that  cometh out from Jehovah. 
26O 033:031 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people,  And they sit before thee -- My people, And have heard thy  words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth  they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is  going. 
26O 033:032 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A  pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they  have heard thy words, and they are not doing them. 
26O 033:033 And in its coming in -- lo, it hath come, And they have  known that a prophet hath been in their midst!' 
26O 034:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 034:002 `Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel,  prophesy, and thou hast said unto them: To the shepherds, thus  said the Lord Jehovah: Wo [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who  have been feeding themselves! The flock do not the shepherds  feed? 
26O 034:003 The fat ye do eat, and the wool ye put on, The fed one ye  slaughter, the flock ye feed not. 
26O 034:004 The weak ye have not strengthened, And the sick one ye have  not healed, And the broken ye have not bound up, And the driven  away have not brought back, And the lost ye have not sought,  And with might ye have ruled them and with rigour. 
26O 034:005 And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for  food to every beast of the field, Yea, they are scattered. 
26O 034:006 Go astray do My flock on all the mountains, And on every  high hill, And on all the face of the land have My flock been  scattered, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking. 
26O 034:007 Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah: 
26O 034:008 I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, If not,  because of My flock being for a prey, Yea, My flock is for food  to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And  My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds do  feed themselves, And My flock they have not fed. 
26O 034:009 Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of Jehovah: 
26O 034:010 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against the  shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And  caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And no more do the  shepherds feed themselves, And I have delivered My flock from  their mouth, And they are not to them for food. 
26O 034:011 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I -- even I, have  required My flock, And I have sought it out. 
26O 034:012 As a shepherd's searching of his drove, In the day of his  being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I do seek My  flock, And have delivered them out of all places, Whither they  have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness. 
26O 034:013 And brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered  them from the lands, And brought them unto their own ground,  And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by  all dwellings of the land. 
26O 034:014 With good pasture I do feed them, And on mountains of the  high place of Israel is their habitation, There do they lie  down in a good habitation, And fat pastures they enjoy on  mountains of Israel. 
26O 034:015 I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 034:016 The lost I seek, and the driven away bring back, And the  broken I bind up, and the sick I strengthen, And the fat and  the strong I destroy, I feed it with judgment. 
26O 034:017 And you, My flock, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am  judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and he-goats. 
26O 034:018 Is it a little thing for you -- the good pasture ye enjoy,  And the remnant of your pasture ye tread down with your feet,  And a depth of waters ye do drink, And the remainder with your  feet ye trample, 
26O 034:019 And My flock the trodden thing of your feet consumeth, And  the trampled thing of your feet drinketh? 
26O 034:020 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah to them: Lo, I --  even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep. 
26O 034:021 Because with side and with shoulder ye thrust away, And  with your horns push all the diseased, Till ye have scattered  them to the out-place, 
26O 034:022 And I have given safety to My flock, And they are not any  more for prey, And I have judged between sheep and sheep. 
26O 034:023 And have raised up over them one shepherd, And he hath fed  them -- my servant David, He doth feed them, and he is their  shepherd, 
26O 034:024 And I, Jehovah, I am their God, And My servant David  prince in their midst, I, Jehovah, have spoken. 
26O 034:025 And I have made for them a covenant of peace, And caused  evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt in a  wilderness confidently, And they have slept in forests. 
26O 034:026 And I have given them, and the suburbs of my hill, a  blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season,  Showers of blessing they are. 
26O 034:027 And given hath the tree of the field its fruit, And the  land doth give her increase, And they have been on their land  confident, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My  breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them  from the hand of those laying service on them. 
26O 034:028 And they are no more a prey to nations, And the beast of  the earth devoureth them not, And they have dwelt confidently,  And there is none troubling. 
26O 034:029 And I have raised for them a plant for renown, And they  are no more consumed by hunger in the land, And they bear no  more the shame of the nations. 
26O 034:030 And they have known that I, Jehovah, their God, [am] with  them, And they -- the house of Israel -- My people, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 034:031 And ye, My flock, the flock of My pasture, Men ye [are] --  I [am] your God, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 035:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 035:002 `Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy  against it, 
26O 035:003 and thou hast said to it: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I  [am] against thee, O mount Seir, And have stretched out My hand  against thee, And made thee a desolation and an astonishment. 
26O 035:004 Thy cities a waste I make, and thou art a desolation, And  thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 035:005 Because of thy having an enmity age-during, And thou dost  saw the sons of Israel, By the hands of the sword, In the time  of their calamity, In the time of the iniquity of the end: 
26O 035:006 Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,  Surely for blood I do appoint thee, And blood doth pursue thee,  If blood thou hast not hated, Blood also doth pursue thee. 
26O 035:007 And I have given mount Seir for a desolation and an  astonishment, And have cut off from it him who is passing over  and him who is returning, 
26O 035:008 And filled his mountains with his wounded, Thy hills, and  thy valleys, and all thy streams, The pierced of the sword fall  into them. 
26O 035:009 Desolations age-during I make thee, And thy cities do not  return, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 035:010 Because of thy saying: The two nations and the two lands  are mine, and we have possessed it, And Jehovah hath been there; 
26O 035:011 Therefore, I live -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,  And I have done according to thine anger, And according to  thine envy, With which thou hast wrought, Because of thy hatred  against them, And I have been known among them when I judge  thee. 
26O 035:012 And thou hast known that I -- Jehovah, I have heard all  thy despisings that thou hast spoken Against mountains of  Israel, saying: A desolation, to us they were given for food. 
26O 035:013 And ye magnify yourselves against Me with your mouth, And  have made abundant against Me your words, I -- I have heard. 
26O 035:014 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: According to the rejoicing of  the whole land, A desolation I make of thee. 
26O 035:015 According to thy joy at the inheritance of the house of  Israel because of desolation, So I do to thee -- a desolation  thou art, O mount Seir, and all Edom -- all of it, And they  have known that I [am] Jehovah! 
26O 036:001 And thou, son of man, prophesy unto mountains of Israel,  and thou hast said, O mountains of Israel, hear a word of  Jehovah. 
26O 036:002 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because the enemy said against  you, Aha, and the high places of old for a possession have been  to us, 
26O 036:003 therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord  Jehovah: Because, even because, of desolating, And of  swallowing you up from round about, For your being a possession  to the remnant of the nations, And ye are taken up on the tip  of the tongue, And [are] an evil report of the people. 
26O 036:004 Therefore, O mountains of Israel, Hear a word of the Lord  Jehovah: Thus said the Lord Jehovah, to mountains, and to  hills, To streams, and to valleys, And to wastes that [are]  desolate, And to cities that are forsaken, That have been for a  prey, And for a scorn, to the remnant of the nations who [are]  round about. 
26O 036:005 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Have I not, in the  fire of My jealousy, Spoken against the remnant of the nations,  And against Edom -- all of it, Who gave My land to themselves  for a possession, With the joy of the whole heart -- with  despite of soul, For the sake of casting it out for a prey? 
26O 036:006 Therefore, prophesy concerning the ground of Israel, And  thou hast said to mountains, and to hills, To streams, and to  valleys, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I, in My jealousy, and  in My fury, I have spoken, Because the shame of nations ye have  borne. 
26O 036:007 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: I -- I have lifted  up My hand, Do not -- the nations who [are] with you from round  about -- they their own shame bear? 
26O 036:008 And ye, O mountains of Israel, Your branch ye give out, and  your fruits ye bear for My people Israel, For they have drawn  near to come. 
26O 036:009 For, lo, I [am] for you, and have turned to you, And ye  have been tilled and sown. 
26O 036:010 And I have multiplied on you men, All the house of Israel  -- all of it, And the cities have been inhabited, And the  wastes are built. 
26O 036:011 And I have multiplied on you man and beast, And they have  multiplied and been fruitful, And I have caused you to dwell  according to your former states, And I have done better than at  your beginnings, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah. 
26O 036:012 And I have caused man to walk over you, -- My people  Israel, And they possess thee, and thou hast been to them for  an inheritance, And thou dost add no more to bereave them. 
26O 036:013 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because they are saying to  you: A devourer of men [art] thou, And a bereaver of thy  nations thou hast been, 
26O 036:014 Therefore, man thou devourest no more, And thy nations  thou causest not to stumble any more, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah. 
26O 036:015 And I proclaim not unto thee any more the shame of the  nations, And the reproach of peoples thou bearest no more, And  thy nations stumble not any more, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah.' 
26O 036:016 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 036:017 `Son of man, The house of Israel are dwelling on their  land, And they defile it by their way and by their doings, As  the uncleanness of a separated one hath their way been before  Me. 
26O 036:018 And I do pour out My fury upon them For the blood that  they shed on the land, And with their idols they have defiled  it. 
26O 036:019 And I scatter them among nations, And they are spread  through lands, According to their way, and according to their  doings, I have judged them. 
26O 036:020 And one goeth in unto the nations whither they have gone,  And they pollute My holy name by saying to them, The people of  Jehovah [are] these, And from His land they have gone forth. 
26O 036:021 And I have pity on My holy name, That the house of Israel  have polluted among nations whither they have gone in. 
26O 036:022 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord  Jehovah: Not for your sake am I working, O house of Israel, But  -- for My holy name, That ye have polluted among nations  whither ye have gone in. 
26O 036:023 And I have sanctified My great name, That is profaned  among nations, That ye have polluted in your midst, And known  have the nations that I [am] Jehovah, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah, In My being sanctified in you before your eyes. 
26O 036:024 And I have taken you out of the nations, And have gathered  you out of all the lands, And I have brought you in unto your  land, 
26O 036:025 And I have sprinkled over you clean water, And ye have  been clean; From all your uncleannesses, and from all your  idols, I do cleanse you. 
26O 036:026 And I have given to you a new heart, And a new spirit I  give in your midst, And I have turned aside the heart of stone  out of your flesh, And I have given to you a heart of flesh. 
26O 036:027 And My Spirit I give in your midst, And I have done this,  so that in My statutes ye walk, And My judgments ye keep, and  have done them. 
26O 036:028 And ye have dwelt in the land that I have given to your  fathers, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I -- I am to  you for God. 
26O 036:029 And I have saved you from all your uncleannesses, And I  have called unto the corn, and multiplied it, And I have put no  famine upon you. 
26O 036:030 And I have multiplied the fruit of the tree, And the  increase of the field, So that ye receive not any more a  reproach of famine among nations. 
26O 036:031 And ye have remembered your ways that [are] evil, And your  doings that [are] not good, And have been loathsome in your own  faces, For your iniquities, and for your abominations. 
26O 036:032 Not for your sake am I working, An affirmation of the Lord  Jehovah, Be it known to you, Be ashamed and confounded, because  of your ways, O house of Israel. 
26O 036:033 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the day of My cleansing you  from all your iniquities, I have caused the cities to be  inhabited, And the wastes have been built, 
26O 036:034 And the desolate land is tilled, Instead of which it was a  desolation before the eyes of every passer by, 
26O 036:035 And they have said: This land, that was desolated, Hath  been as the garden of Eden, And the cities -- the wasted, And  the desolated, and the broken down, Fenced places have  remained. 
26O 036:036 And known have the nations who are left round about you,  That I Jehovah have built the thrown down, I have planted the  desolated: I Jehovah have spoken, and I have done [it]. 
26O 036:037 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Yet this I am required, By the  house of Israel to do to them, I multiply them as a flock of  men, 
26O 036:038 As a flock of holy ones, as a flock of Jerusalem, In her  appointed seasons, So are the waste cities full of flocks of  men, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah!' 
26O 037:001 There hath been upon me a hand of Jehovah, and He taketh me  forth in the Spirit of Jehovah, and doth place me in the midst  of the valley, and it is full of bones, 
26O 037:002 and He causeth me to pass over by them, all round about,  and lo, very many [are] on the face of the valley, and lo, very  dry. 
26O 037:003 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, do these bones live?'  And I say, `O Lord Jehovah, Thou -- Thou hast known.' 
26O 037:004 And He saith unto me, `Prophesy concerning these bones, and  thou hast said unto them: O dry bones, hear a word of Jehovah: 
26O 037:005 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Lo, I am  bringing into you a spirit, and ye have lived, 
26O 037:006 and I have given on you sinews, and cause flesh to come up  upon you, and covered you over with skin, and given in you a  spirit, and ye have lived, and ye have known that I [am]  Jehovah.' 
26O 037:007 And I have prophesied as I have been commanded, and there  is a noise, as I am prophesying, and lo, a rushing, and draw  near do the bones, bone unto its bone. 
26O 037:008 And I beheld, and lo, on them [are] sinews, and flesh hath  come up, and cover them doth skin over above -- and spirit  there is none in them. 
26O 037:009 And He saith unto me: `Prophesy unto the Spirit, prophesy,  son of man, and thou hast said unto the Spirit: Thus said the  Lord Jehovah: From the four winds come in, O Spirit, and  breathe on these slain, and they do live.' 
26O 037:010 And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit  cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet -- a  very very great force. 
26O 037:011 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the  whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our  bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by  ourselves. 
26O 037:012 Therefore, prophesy, and thou hast said unto them, thus  said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am opening your graves, And have  brought you up out of your graves, O My people, And brought you  in unto the land of Israel. 
26O 037:013 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My opening your  graves, And in My bringing you up out of your graves, O My  people. 
26O 037:014 And I have given My Spirit in you, and ye have lived, And  I have caused you to rest on your land, And ye have known that  I Jehovah, I have spoken, and I have done [it], An affirmation  of Jehovah.' 
26O 037:015 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
26O 037:016 `And thou, son of man, take to thee one stick, and write  on it, For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions;  and take another stick, and write on it, For Joseph, the stick  of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions, 
26O 037:017 and bring them near one unto another, to thee, for one  stick, and they have become one in thy hand. 
26O 037:018 `And when sons of thy people speak unto thee, saying, Dost  thou not declare to us what these [are] to thee? 
26O 037:019 Speak unto them, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am  taking the stick of Joseph, that [is] in the hand of Ephraim,  and the tribes of Israel his companions, and have given them  unto him, with the stick of Judah, and have made them become  one stick, and they have been one in My hand. 
26O 037:020 And the sticks on which thou writest have been in thy hand  before thine eyes, 
26O 037:021 and speak thou unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo,  I am taking the sons of Israel, From among the nations whither  they have gone, And have gathered them from round about, And I  have brought them in unto their land. 
26O 037:022 And I have made them become one nation in the land, on  mountains of Israel, And one king is to them all for king, And  they are no more as two nations, Nor are they divided any more  into two kingdoms again. 
26O 037:023 Nor are they defiled any more with their idols, And with  their abominations, And with any of their transgressions, And I  have saved them out of all their dwellings, In which they have  sinned, And I have cleansed them, And they have been to Me for  a people, And I -- I am to them for God. 
26O 037:024 And My servant David [is] king over them, And one shepherd  have they all, And in My judgments they go, And My statutes  they keep, and have done them. 
26O 037:025 And they have dwelt on the land that I gave to My servant,  to Jacob, In which your fathers have dwelt, And they have dwelt  on it, they and their sons, And their son's sons -- unto the  age, And David My servant [is] their prince -- to the age. 
26O 037:026 And I have made to them a covenant of peace, A covenant  age-during it is with them, And I have placed them, and  multiplied them, And placed My sanctuary in their midst -- to  the age. 
26O 037:027 And My tabernacle hath been over them, And I have been to  them for God, And they have been to Me for a people. 
26O 037:028 And known have the nations that I Jehovah am sanctifying  Israel, In My sanctuary being in their midst -- to the age!' 
26O 038:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 
26O 038:002 `Son of man, set thy face unto Gog, of the land of Magog,  prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy concerning  him, 
26O 038:003 and thou hast said: Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am]  against thee, O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, 
26O 038:004 And I have turned thee back, And I have put hooks in thy  jaws, And have brought thee out, and all thy force, Horses and  horsemen, Clothed in perfection all of them, A numerous  assembly, [with] buckler and shield, Handling swords -- all of  them. 
26O 038:005 Persia, Cush, and Phut, with them, All of them [with]  shield and helmet. 
26O 038:006 Gomer and all its bands, The house of Togarmah of the sides  of the north, And all its bands, many peoples with thee, 
26O 038:007 Be prepared, yea, prepare for thee, Thou and all thine  assemblies who are assembled unto thee, And thou hast been to  them for a guard. 
26O 038:008 After many days thou art appointed, In the latter end of  the years thou comest in unto a land brought back from sword,  [A people] gathered out of many peoples, Upon mountains of  Israel, That have been for a perpetual waste, And it from the  peoples hath been brought out, And dwelt safely have all of  them. 
26O 038:009 And thou hast gone up -- as wasting thou comest in, As a  cloud to cover the land art thou, Thou and all thy bands, and  many peoples with thee. 
26O 038:010 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And it hath come to pass in  that day, Come up do things on thy heart, And thou hast thought  an evil thought, 
26O 038:011 And thou hast said: I go up against a land of unwalled  villages, I go in to those at rest, dwelling confidently, All  of them are dwelling without walls, And bar and doors they have  not. 
26O 038:012 To take a spoil, and to take a prey, To turn back thy hand  on inhabited wastes, And on a people gathered out of nations,  Making cattle and substance, Dwelling on a high part of the  land. 
26O 038:013 Sheba, and Dedan, and merchants of Tarshish, And all its  young lions say to thee: To take a spoil art thou come in? To  take a prey assembled thine assembly? To bear away silver and  gold? To take away cattle and substance? To take a great spoil? 
26O 038:014 Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and thou hast said to  Gog: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In that day, in the dwelling  of My people Israel safely, Dost thou not know? 
26O 038:015 And thou hast come in out of thy place, From the sides of  the north, Thou and many peoples with thee, Riding on horses --  all of them, A great assembly, and a numerous force. 
26O 038:016 And thou hast come up against My people Israel, As a cloud  to cover the land, In the latter end of the days it is, And I  have brought thee in against My land, In order that the nations  may know Me, In My being sanctified in thee before their eyes,  O Gog. 
26O 038:017 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Art thou he of whom I spake in  former days, By the hand of My servants, prophets of Israel,  Who are prophesying in those days -- years, To bring thee in  against them? 
26O 038:018 And it hath come to pass, in that day, In the day of the  coming in of Gog against the land of Israel, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah, Come up doth My fury in My face, 
26O 038:019 And in My zeal, in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Is  there not in that day a great rushing on the land of Israel? 
26O 038:020 And rushed from My presence have fishes of the sea, And  the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the field, And every  creeping thing that is creeping on the ground, And all men who  [are] on the face of the ground, And thrown down have been the  mountains, And fallen have the ascents, And every wall to the  earth falleth. 
26O 038:021 And I have called against him, to all My mountains a  sword, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, The sword of each is  against his brother. 
26O 038:022 And I have been judged with him, With pestilence and with  blood, And an overflowing rain and hailstones, Fire and  brimstone I rain on him, and on his bands, And on many peoples  who [are] with him. 
26O 038:023 And I have magnified Myself, and sanctified Myself, And I  have been known before the eyes of many nations, And they have  known that I [am] Jehovah! 
26O 039:001 And thou, son of man, prophesy concerning Gog, and thou  hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee,  O Gog, Prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, 
26O 039:002 And have turned thee back, and enticed thee, And caused  thee to come up from the sides of the north, And brought thee  in against mountains of Israel, 
26O 039:003 And have smitten thy bow out of thy left hand, Yea, thine  arrows out of thy right I cause to fall. 
26O 039:004 On mountains of Israel thou fallest, Thou, and all thy  bands, and the peoples who [are] with thee, To ravenous fowl --  a bird of every wing, And [to] a beast of the field, I have  given thee for food. 
26O 039:005 On the face of the field thou fallest, for I have spoken,  An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 039:006 And I have sent a fire against Magog, And against the  confident inhabitants of the isles, And they have known that I  [am] Jehovah. 
26O 039:007 And My holy name I make known in the midst of My people  Israel, And I pollute not My holy name any more, And known have  the nations that I, Jehovah, the Holy One, [am] in Israel. 
26O 039:008 Lo, it hath come, and it hath been done, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah, It [is] the day of which I spake. 
26O 039:009 And gone out have the inhabitants of cities of Israel, And  they have burned and kindled [a fire], With armour, and shield,  and buckler, With bow, and with arrows, And with hand-staves,  and with javelins, And they have caused a fire to burn with  them seven years, 
26O 039:010 And they do not take wood out of the field, Nor do they  hew out of the forests, For with armour they cause the fire to  burn, And they have spoiled their spoilers, And they have  plundered their plunderers, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 039:011 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I give to Gog a  place there -- a grave in Israel, the valley of those passing  by, east of the sea, and it is stopping those passing by, and  they have buried there Gog, and all his multitude, and have  cried, O valley of the multitude of Gog! 
26O 039:012 And the house of Israel have buried them -- in order to  cleanse the land -- seven months. 
26O 039:013 Yea, all the people of the land have buried them, and it  hath been to them for a name -- the day of My being honoured --  an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 039:014 And men for continual employment they separate, passing on  through the land, burying with those passing by those who are  left on the face of the earth, to cleanse it: at the end of  seven months they search. 
26O 039:015 And those passing by have passed through the land, and  seen a bone of man, and one hath constructed near it a sign  till those burying have buried it in the valley of the  multitude of Gog. 
26O 039:016 And also the name of the city [is] The multitude; and they  have cleansed the land. 
26O 039:017 And thou, son of man, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Say to  the bird -- every wing, and to every beast of the field: Be  assembled and come in, Be gathered from round about, For My  sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you, A great sacrifice on  mountains of Israel, And ye have eaten flesh, and drunk blood. 
26O 039:018 Flesh of the mighty ye do eat, And blood of princes of the  earth ye drink, Of rams, of lambs, and of he-goats, Of calves,  fatlings of Bashan -- all of them. 
26O 039:019 And ye have eaten fat to satiety, And ye have drunk blood  -- to drunkenness, Of My sacrifice that I sacrificed for you. 
26O 039:020 And ye have been satisfied at My table with horse and  rider, Mighty man, and every man of war, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah. 
26O 039:021 And I have given My honour among nations, And seen have  all the nations My Judgment that I have done, And My hand that  I have laid on them. 
26O 039:022 And known have the house of Israel that I [am] Jehovah  their God, From that day and henceforth. 
26O 039:023 And known have the nations that for their iniquity,  Removed have the house of Israel, Because they have trespassed  against Me, And I do hide My face from them, And give them into  the hand of their adversaries, And they fall by sword -- all of  them. 
26O 039:024 According to their uncleanness, And according to their  transgressions, I have done with them, And I do hide My face  from them. 
26O 039:025 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Now do I bring back  the captivity of Jacob, And I have pitied all the house of  Israel, And have been zealous for My holy name. 
26O 039:026 And they have forgotten their shame, And all their  trespass that they trespassed against Me, In their dwelling on  their land confidently and none troubling. 
26O 039:027 In My bringing them back from the peoples, I have  assembled them from the lands of their enemies, And I have been  sanctified in them before the eyes of the many nations, 
26O 039:028 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah their God, In My  removing them unto the nations, And I have gathered them unto  their land, And I leave none of them any more there. 
26O 039:029 And I hide not any more My face from them, In that I have  poured out My spirit on the house of Israel, An affirmation of  the Lord Jehovah!' 
26O 040:001 In the twenty and fifth year of our removal, in the  beginning of the year, in the tenth of the month, in the  fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in this  self-same day hath a hand of Jehovah been upon me, and He  bringeth me in thither; 
26O 040:002 in visions of God He hath brought me in unto the land of  Israel, and causeth me to rest on a very high mountain, and  upon it [is] as the frame of a city on the south. 
26O 040:003 And He bringeth me in thither, and lo, a man, his  appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in  his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate, 
26O 040:004 and the man speaketh unto me: `Son of man, see with thine  eyes, And with thine ears hear, And set thy heart to all that I  am shewing thee, For, in order to shew [it] thee, Thou hast  been brought in hither, Declare all that thou art seeing to the  house of Israel.' 
26O 040:005 And lo, a wall on the outside of the house all round about,  and in the hand of the man a measuring-reed, six cubits by a  cubit and a handbreadth, and he measureth the breadth of the  building one reed, and the height one reed. 
26O 040:006 And he cometh in unto the gate whose front [is] eastward,  and he goeth up by its steps, and he measureth the threshold of  the gate one reed broad, even the one threshold one reed broad, 
26O 040:007 and the little chamber one reed long and one reed broad,  and between the little chambers five cubits, and the threshold  of the gate, from the side of the porch of the gate from  within, one reed.

26O 040:010 and the little chambers of the gate eastward, three on  this side, and three on that side; one measure [is] to them  three, and one measure [is] to the posts, on this side and on  that side. 
26O 040:011 And he measureth the breadth of the opening of the gate  ten cubits, the length of the gate thirteen cubits; 
26O 040:012 and a border before the little chambers, one cubit, and  one cubit [is] the border on this side, and the little chamber  [is] six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side. 
26O 040:013 And he measureth the gate from the roof of the [one]  little chamber to the roof of another; the breadth twenty and  five cubits, opening over-against opening. 
26O 040:014 And he maketh the posts of sixty cubits, even unto the  post of the court, the gate all round about; 
26O 040:015 and by the front of the gate of the entrance, by the front  of the porch of the inner gate, fifty cubits; 
26O 040:016 and narrow windows [are] unto the little chambers, and  unto their posts at the inside of the gate all round about --  and so to the arches -- and windows all round about [are] at  the inside, and at the post [are] palm-trees. 
26O 040:017 And he bringeth me in unto the outer court, and lo,  chambers and a pavement made for the court all round about --  thirty chambers on the pavement -- 
26O 040:018 and the pavement unto the side of the gates over-against  the length of the gates [is] the lower pavement; 
26O 040:019 and he measureth the breadth from before the lower gate,  to the front of the inner court, on the outside, a hundred  cubits, eastward and northward. 
26O 040:020 As to the gate of the outer court whose front [is]  northward, he hath measured its length and its breadth; 
26O 040:021 and its little chambers, three on this side, and three on  that side, and its posts and its arches have been according to  the measure of the first gate, fifty cubits its length, and the  breadth five and twenty by the cubit; 
26O 040:022 and its windows, and its arches, and its palm-trees [are]  according to the measure of the gate whose face [is] eastward,  and by seven steps they go up on it, and its arches [are]  before them. 
26O 040:023 And the gate of the inner court [is] over-against the gate  at the north and at the east; and he measureth from gate unto  gate, a hundred cubits. 
26O 040:024 And he causeth me to go southward, and lo, a gate  southward, and he hath measured its posts and its arches  according to these measures; 
26O 040:025 and windows [are] to it and to its arches all round about,  like these windows, fifty cubits the length, and the breadth  five and twenty cubits; 
26O 040:026 and seven steps [are] its ascent, and its arches [are]  before them, and palm-trees [are] to it, one on this side, and  one on that side, at its posts; 
26O 040:027 and the gate of the inner court [is] southward, and he  measureth from gate unto gate southward, a hundred cubits. 
26O 040:028 And he bringeth me in unto the inner court by the south  gate, and he measureth the south gate according to these  measures; 
26O 040:029 and its little chambers, and its posts, and its arches  [are] according to these measures, and windows [are] to it and  to its arches all round about; fifty cubits the length, and the  breadth twenty and five cubits.

26O 040:035 And he bringeth me in unto the north gate, and hath  measured according to these measures; 
26O 040:036 its little chambers, its posts, and its arches; and  windows [are] to it all round about: the length fifty cubits,  and the breadth five and twenty cubits; 
26O 040:037 and its posts [are] to the outer court, and palm-trees  [are] unto its posts, on this side and on that side, and eight  steps [are] its ascent. 
26O 040:038 And the chamber and its opening [is] by the posts of the  gates, there they purge the burnt-offering. 
26O 040:039 And in the porch of the gate [are] two tables on this  side, and two tables on that side, to slaughter on them the  burnt-offering, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering; 
26O 040:040 and at the side without, at the going up to the opening of  the north gate, [are] two tables; and at the other side that  [is] at the porch of the gate, [are] two tables; 
26O 040:041 four tables [are] on this side, and four tables on that  side, at the side of the gate, eight tables on which they  slaughter. 
26O 040:042 And the four tables for burnt-offering [are] of hewn  stone: the length one cubit and a half, and the breadth one  cubit and a half, and the height one cubit: on them they place  the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt-offering  and the sacrifice. 
26O 040:043 And the boundaries [are] one handbreadth, prepared within  all round about: and on the tables [is] the flesh of the  offering. 
26O 040:044 And on the outside of the inner gate [are] chambers of the  singers, in the inner court, that [are] at the side of the  north gate, and their fronts [are] southward, one at the side  of the east gate [hath] the front northward. 
26O 040:045 And he speaketh unto me: `This chamber, whose front [is]  southward, [is] for priests keeping charge of the house; 
26O 040:046 and the chamber, whose front [is] northward, [is] for  priests keeping charge of the altar: they [are] sons of Zadok,  who are drawing near of the sons of Levi unto Jehovah, to serve  Him.' 
26O 040:047 And he measureth the court: the length a hundred cubits,  and the breadth a hundred cubits, square, and the altar [is]  before the house. 
26O 040:048 And he bringeth me in unto the porch of the house, and he  measureth 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; 
26O 040:049 the length of the porch twenty cubits, and the breadth  eleven cubits; and by the steps whereby they go up unto it: and  pillars [are] at the posts, one on this side, and one on that  side. 
26O 041:001 And he bringeth me in unto the temple, and he measureth the  posts, six cubits the breadth on this side, and six cubits the  breadth on that side -- the breadth of the tent. 
26O 041:002 And the breadth of the opening [is] ten cubits; and the  sides of the opening [are] five cubits on this side, and five  cubits on that side; and he measureth its length forty cubits,  and the breadth twenty cubits. 
26O 041:003 And he hath gone inward, and measureth the post of the  opening two cubits, and the opening six cubits, and the breadth  of the opening seven cubits. 
26O 041:004 And he measureth its length twenty cubits, and the breadth  twenty cubits, unto the front of the temple, and he saith unto  me, `This [is] the holy of holies.' 
26O 041:005 And he measureth the wall of the house six cubits, and the  breadth of the side-chamber four cubits, all round the house  round about. 
26O 041:006 And the side-chambers [are] side-chamber by side-chamber,  three and thirty times; and they are entering into the wall --  which the house hath for the side-chambers all round about --  to be taken hold of, and they are not taken hold of by the wall  of the house. 
26O 041:007 And a broad place and a turning place still upwards [are]  to the side-chambers, for the turning round of the house [is]  still upwards all round about the house: therefore the breadth  of the house [is] upwards, and so the lower one goeth up unto  the higher by the midst. 
26O 041:008 And I have looked at the house, the height all round about:  the foundations of the side-chambers [are] the fulness of the  reed, six cubits by the joining. 
26O 041:009 The breadth of the wall that [is] to the side-chamber at  the outside [is] five cubits; and that which is left [is] the  place of the side-chambers that [are] to the house. 
26O 041:010 And between the chambers [is] a breadth of twenty cubits  round about the house, all round about. 
26O 041:011 And the opening of the side-chamber [is] to the place  left, one opening northward, and one opening southward, and the  breadth of the place that is left [is] five cubits all round  about. 
26O 041:012 As to the building that [is] at the front of the separate  place [at] the corner westward, the breadth [is] seventy  cubits, and the wall of the building five cubits broad all  round about, and its length ninety cubits. 
26O 041:013 And he hath measured the house, the length [is] a hundred  cubits; and the separate place, and the building, and its  walls, the length [is] a hundred cubits; 
26O 041:014 and the breadth of the front of the house, and of the  separate place eastward, a hundred cubits. 
26O 041:015 And he hath measured the length of the building unto the  front of the separate place that [is] at its hinder part, and  its galleries on this side and on that side, a hundred cubits,  and the inner temple and the porches of the court, 
26O 041:016 the thresholds, and the narrow windows, and the galleries  round about them three, over-against the threshold, a ceiling  of wood all round about, and the ground unto the windows and  the covered windows, 
26O 041:017 over above the opening, and unto the inner-house, and at  the outside, and by all the wall all round about within and  without [by] measure. 
26O 041:018 And it is made [with] cherubs and palm-trees, and a  palm-tree [is] between cherub and cherub, and two faces [are]  to the cherub; 
26O 041:019 and the face of man [is] unto the palm-tree on this side,  and the face of a young lion unto the palm-tree on that side;  it is made unto all the house all round about. 
26O 041:020 from the earth unto above the opening [are] the cherubs  and the palm-trees made, and [on] the wall of the temple. 
26O 041:021 Of the temple the side post [is] square, and of the front  of the sanctuary, the appearance [is] as the appearance. 
26O 041:022 Of the altar, the wood [is] three cubits in height, and  its length two cubits; and its corners [are] to it, and its  length, and its walls [are] of wood, and he speaketh unto me,  `This [is] the table that [is] before Jehovah.' 
26O 041:023 And two doors [are] to the temple and to the sanctuary; 
26O 041:024 and two leaves [are] to the doors, two turning leaves  [are] to the doors, two to the one door, and two leaves to the  other. 
26O 041:025 And made on them, on the doors of the temple, [are]  cherubs and palm-trees as are made on the walls, and a  thickness of wood [is] at the front of the porch on the  outside. 
26O 041:026 And narrow windows and palm-trees [are] on this side, and  on that side, at the sides of the porch, and the side-chambers  of the house, and the thick places. 
26O 042:001 And he bringeth me forth unto the outer court, the way  northward, and he bringeth me in unto the chamber that [is]  over-against the separate place, and that [is] over-against the  building at the north. 
26O 042:002 At the front of the length [is] a hundred cubits [at] the  north opening, and the breadth fifty cubits. 
26O 042:003 Over-against the twenty [cubits] that are to the inner  court, and over-against the pavement that [is] to the outer  court, [is] gallery over-against gallery, in the three  [storeys]. 
26O 042:004 And at the front of the chambers [is] a walk of ten cubits  in breadth unto the inner part, a way of one cubit, and their  openings [are] at the north. 
26O 042:005 And the upper chambers [are] short, for the galleries  contain more than these, than the lower, and than the middle  one, of the building; 
26O 042:006 for they [are] threefold, and they have no pillars as the  pillars of the court, therefore it hath been kept back -- more  than the lower and than the middle one -- from the ground. 
26O 042:007 As to the wall that [is] at the outside, over-against the  chambers, the way of the outer-court at the front of the  chambers, its length [is] fifty cubits; 
26O 042:008 for the length of the chambers that [are] to the outer  court [is] fifty cubits, and of those on the front of the  temple a hundred cubits. 
26O 042:009 And under these chambers [is] the entrance from the east,  in one's going into them from the outer court. 
26O 042:010 In the breadth of the wall of the court eastward, unto the  front of the separate place, and unto the front of the  building, [are] chambers. 
26O 042:011 And the way before them [is] as the appearance of the  chambers that [are] northward, according to their length so  [is] their breadth, and all their outlets, and according to  their fashions, and according to their openings. 
26O 042:012 And according to the openings of the chambers that [are]  southward [is] an opening at the head of the way, the way  directly in the front of the wall eastward in entering them. 
26O 042:013 And he saith unto me, `The north chambers, the south  chambers, that [are] at the front of the separate place, they  [are] holy chambers, where the priests (who [are] near to  Jehovah) eat the most holy things, there they place the most  holy things, and the present, and the sin-offering, and the  guilt-offering, for the place [is] holy. 
26O 042:014 In the priests' going in, they come not out from the  sanctuary unto the outer court, and there they place their  garments with which they minister, for they [are] holy, and  have put on other garments, and have drawn near unto that which  [is] for the people.' 
26O 042:015 And he hath finished the measurements of the inner house,  and hath brought me forth the way of the gate whose front [is]  eastward, and he hath measured it all round about. 
26O 042:016 He hath measured the east side with the measuring-reed,  five hundred reeds, with the measuring-reed round about. 
26O 042:017 He hath measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with  the measuring reed round about. 
26O 042:018 The south side he hath measured, five hundred reeds, with  the measuring-reed. 
26O 042:019 He hath turned round unto the west side, he hath measured  five hundred reeds with the measuring-reed. 
26O 042:020 At the four sides he hath measured it, a wall [is] to it  all round about, the length five hundred, and the breadth five  hundred, to separate between the holy and the profane place. 
26O 043:001 And he causeth me to go to the gate, the gate that is  looking eastward. 
26O 043:002 And lo, the honour of the God of Israel hath come from the  way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many  waters, and the earth hath shone from His honour. 
26O 043:003 And according to the appearance [is] the appearance that I  saw, as the appearance that I saw in my coming in to destroy  the city, and the appearances [are] as the appearance that I  saw at the river Chebar, and I fall on my face. 
26O 043:004 And the honour of Jehovah hath come in unto the house, the  way of the gate whose face [is] eastward. 
26O 043:005 And take me up doth the Spirit, and bringeth me in unto the  inner court, and lo, the honour of Jehovah hath filled the  house. 
26O 043:006 And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man  hath been standing near me, 
26O 043:007 and He saith unto me: `Son of man, the place of My throne,  And the place of the soles of My feet, Where I dwell in the  midst of the sons of Israel to the age, Defile no more do the  house of Israel My holy name, They, and their kings, by their  whoredom, And by the carcases of their kings -- their high  places. 
26O 043:008 In their putting their threshold with My threshold, And  their door-post near My door-post, And the wall between Me and  them, And they have defiled My holy name, By their abominations  that they have done, And I consume them in Mine anger. 
26O 043:009 Now do they put far off their whoredom, And the carcases of  their kings -- from Me, And I have dwelt in their midst to the  age. 
26O 043:010 Thou, son of man, Shew the house of Israel the house, And  they are ashamed of their iniquities, And they have measured  the measurement. 
26O 043:011 And since they have been ashamed of all that they have  done, The form of the house, and its measurement, And its  outlets, and its inlets, and all its forms, And all its  statutes, even all its forms, And all its laws cause them to  know, And write [it] before their eyes, And they observe all  its forms, And all its statutes, and have done them. 
26O 043:012 This [is] a law of the house: on the top of the mountain,  all its border all round about [is] most holy; lo, this [is] a  law of the house. 
26O 043:013 `And these [are] measures of the altar by cubits: The  cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth, and the centre [is] a  cubit, and a cubit the breadth; and its border on its edge  round about [is] one span, and this [is] the upper part of the  altar. 
26O 043:014 And from the centre of the ground unto the lower border  [is] two cubits, and the breadth one cubit, and from the lesser  border unto the greater border four cubits, and the breadth a  cubit. 
26O 043:015 `And the altar [is] four cubits, and from the altar and  upward [are] four horns. 
26O 043:016 And the altar [is] twelve long by twelve broad, square in  its four squares. 
26O 043:017 And the border [is] fourteen long by fourteen broad, at  its four squares, and the border round about it [is] half a  cubit, and the centre to it [is] a cubit round about, and its  steps are looking eastward.' 
26O 043:018 And He saith unto me, `Son of man, Thus said the Lord  Jehovah: These [are] statutes of the altar in the day of its  being made to cause burnt-offering to go up on it, and to  sprinkle on it blood. 
26O 043:019 And thou hast given unto the priests, the Levites, who  [are] of the seed of Zadok -- who are near unto Me, an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, to serve Me -- a calf from the  herd, for a sin-offering. 
26O 043:020 And thou hast taken of its blood, and hast put it on its  four horns, and on the four corners of its border, and on the  border round about, and hast cleansed it, and purified it. 
26O 043:021 And thou hast taken the bullock of the sin-offering, and  hast burnt it in the appointed place of the house at the  outside of the sanctuary. 
26O 043:022 And on the second day thou dost bring near a kid of the  goats, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and they have  cleansed the altar, as they cleansed [it] for the bullock. 
26O 043:023 In thy finishing cleansing, thou dost bring near a calf, a  son of the herd, a perfect one, and a ram out of the flock, a  perfect one. 
26O 043:024 And thou hast brought them near before Jehovah, and the  priests have cast upon them salt, and have caused them to go  up, a burnt-offering to Jehovah. 
26O 043:025 Seven days thou dost prepare a goat for a sin-offering  daily, and a bullock, a son of the herd, and a ram out of the  flock, perfect ones, do they prepare. 
26O 043:026 Seven days they purify the altar, and have cleansed it,  and filled their hand. 
26O 043:027 And the days are completed, and it hath come to pass on  the eighth day, and henceforth, the priests prepare on the  altar your burnt-offerings and your peace-offerings, and I have  accepted you -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.' 
26O 044:001 And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the  outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut. 
26O 044:002 And Jehovah saith unto me, `This gate is shut, it is not  opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel,  hath come in by it, and it hath been shut. 
26O 044:003 The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread  before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh  in, and by its way he goeth out.' 
26O 044:004 And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the  front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour  of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face. 
26O 044:005 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Son of man, set thy heart, and  see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am  speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of  Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to  the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the  sanctuary, 
26O 044:006 and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of  Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you -- of all  your abominations, O house of Israel. 
26O 044:007 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of  heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to  pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat,  and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations, 
26O 044:008 and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye  set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you. 
26O 044:009 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger,  uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in  unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the  midst of the sons of Israel, 
26O 044:010 but -- the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the  wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their  idols, and they have borne their iniquity. 
26O 044:011 And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers  at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they  slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and  they stand before them to serve them. 
26O 044:012 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have  been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity,  therefore I have lifted up my hand against them -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah -- and they have borne their  iniquity. 
26O 044:013 And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to  draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies,  and they have borne their shame and their abominations that  they have done, 
26O 044:014 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for  all its service and for all that is done in it. 
26O 044:015 `And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have  kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of  Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and  have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah: 
26O 044:016 they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My  table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge. 
26O 044:017 And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates  of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool  cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the  inner court and within. 
26O 044:018 Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on  their loins, they are not restrained with sweat. 
26O 044:019 And in their going forth unto the outer court -- unto the  outer court unto the people -- they strip off their garments,  in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy  chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not  sanctify the people in their own garments. 
26O 044:020 And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not  send forth; they certainly poll their heads. 
26O 044:021 And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the  inner court. 
26O 044:022 And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them  for wives: but -- virgins of the seed of the house of Israel,  and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take. 
26O 044:023 `And My people they direct between holy and common, and  between unclean and clean they cause them to discern. 
26O 044:024 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment;  with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in  all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they  sanctify. 
26O 044:025 And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but  for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for  brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile  themselves. 
26O 044:026 `And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him. 
26O 044:027 And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto  the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near  his sin-offering -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 044:028 And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their  inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel;  I [am] their possession. 
26O 044:029 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering,  they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs. 
26O 044:030 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every  heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the  priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to  cause a blessing to rest on thy house. 
26O 044:031 Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the  beasts, the priests do not eat. 
26O 045:001 And in your causing the land to fall in inheritance, ye  lift up a heave-offering to Jehovah, a holy [portion] of the  land: the length -- five and twenty thousand [is] the length,  and the breadth ten thousand; it [is] holy in all its border  round about. 
26O 045:002 There is of this for the sanctuary five hundred by five  hundred, square, round about; and fifty cubits of suburb [is]  to it round about. 
26O 045:003 And by this measure thou dost measure: the length [is] five  and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand: and in it is  the sanctuary, the holy of holies. 
26O 045:004 The holy [portion] of the land it [is]; for priests,  ministrants of the sanctuary, it is, who are drawing near to  serve Jehovah; and it hath been to them a place for houses, and  a holy place for a sanctuary. 
26O 045:005 `And of the five and twenty thousand of length, and of the  ten thousand of breadth, there is to the Levites, ministrants  of the house, for them -- for a possession -- twenty chambers. 
26O 045:006 `And of the possession of the city ye give five thousand of  breadth, and of length five and twenty thousand, over-against  the heave-offering of the holy [portion]: to all the house of  Israel it is. 
26O 045:007 As to the prince, on this side, and on that side, of the  heave-offering of the holy place, and of the possession of the  city, at the front of the heave-offering of the holy place, and  at the front of the possession of the city, from the west  corner westward, and from the east corner eastward -- and the  length [is] over-against one of the portions from the west  border unto the east border -- 
26O 045:008 of the land there is to him for a possession in Israel, and  My princes do not oppress any more My people, and the land they  give to the house of Israel according to their tribes. 
26O 045:009 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you -- princes of  Israel; violence and spoil turn aside, and judgment and  righteousness do; lift up your exactions from off My people  -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 045:010 Just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath -- ye  have. 
26O 045:011 The ephah and the bath is of one measure, for the bath to  bear a tenth of the homer, and the ephah a tenth of the homer:  according to the homer is its measurement. 
26O 045:012 And, the shekel [is] twenty gerah: twenty shekels, five  and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels -- is your maneh. 
26O 045:013 `This [is] the heave-offering that ye lift up; a sixth  part of the ephah of a homer of wheat, also ye have given a  sixth part of the ephah of a homer of barley, 
26O 045:014 and the portion of oil, the bath of oil, a tenth part of  the bath out of the cor, a homer of ten baths -- for ten baths  [are] a homer; 
26O 045:015 and one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of  the watered country of Israel, for a present, and for a  burnt-offering, and for peace-offerings, to make atonement by  them -- an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 045:016 All the people of the land are at this heave-offering for  the prince in Israel. 
26O 045:017 And on the prince are the burnt-offerings, and the  present, and the libation, in feasts, and in new moons, and in  sabbaths, in all appointed times of the house of Israel: he  doth make the sin-offering, and the present, and the  burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, to make atonement for  the house of Israel. 
26O 045:018 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: In the first [month], in the  first of the month, thou dost take a bullock, a son of the  herd, a perfect one, and hast cleansed the sanctuary: 
26O 045:019 and the priest hath taken of the blood of the sin  offering, and hath put on the door-post of the house, and on  the four corners of the border of the altar, and on the post of  the gate of the inner court. 
26O 045:020 And so thou dost do on the seventh of the month, because  of each erring one, and because of the simple one -- and ye  have purified the house. 
26O 045:021 `In the first [month], in the fourteenth day of the month,  ye have the passover, a feast of seven days, unleavened food is  eaten. 
26O 045:022 And the prince hath prepared on that day, for himself, and  for all the people of the land, a bullock, a sin-offering. 
26O 045:023 And the seven days of the feast he prepareth a  burnt-offering to Jehovah, seven bullocks, and seven rams,  perfect ones, daily seven days, and a sin-offering, a kid of the  goats, daily. 
26O 045:024 And a present of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for  a ram, he doth prepare, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 
26O 045:025 In the seventh [month], in the fifteenth day of the month,  in the feast, he doth according to these things seven days; as  the sin-offering so the burnt-offering, and as the present so  also the oil. 
26O 046:001 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The gate of the inner court  that is looking eastward is shut the six days of work, and on  the day of rest it is opened, and in the day of the new moon it  is opened; 
26O 046:002 and come in hath the prince the way of the porch of the  gate at the outside, and he hath stood by the post of the gate,  and the priests have made his burnt-offering, and his  peace-offerings, and he hath bowed himself by the opening of  the gate, and hath gone forth, and the gate is not shut till  the evening. 
26O 046:003 And bowed themselves have the people of the land at the  opening of that gate, on sabbaths, and on new moons, before  Jehovah. 
26O 046:004 `And the burnt-offering that the prince bringeth near to  Jehovah on the day of rest [is] six lambs, perfect ones, and a  ram, a perfect one. 
26O 046:005 And the present [is] an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs  a present, the gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 
26O 046:006 And on the day of the new moon a bullock, a son of the  herd, a perfect one, and six lambs and a ram, they are perfect. 
26O 046:007 And with an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, he  prepareth a present, and for the lambs as his hand attaineth,  and of oil a hin for an ephah. 
26O 046:008 `And in the coming in of the prince, the way of the porch  of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out. 
26O 046:009 And in the coming in of the people of the land before  Jehovah at appointed times, he who hath come in the way of the  north gate to bow himself, goeth out the way of the south gate,  and he who hath come in the way of the south gate, goeth out by  the way of the north gate: he doth not turn back the way of the  gate by which he came in, but over-against it he goeth out. 
26O 046:010 And the prince in their midst in their coming in cometh  in, and in their going out he goeth out. 
26O 046:011 `And in feasts, and in appointed times, the present is an  ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for lambs the  gift of his hand, and of oil a hin for an ephah. 
26O 046:012 And when the prince maketh a free-will burnt-offering, or  free-will peace-offerings, to Jehovah, then he hath opened for  himself the gate that is looking eastward, and he hath made his  burnt-offering and his peace-offerings as he doth in the day of  rest, and he hath gone out, and he hath shut the gate after his  going out. 
26O 046:013 `And a lamb, son of a year, a perfect one, thou dost make  a burnt-offering daily to Jehovah; morning by morning thou dost  make it. 
26O 046:014 And a present thou dost make for it morning by morning, a  sixth part of the ephah, and of oil a third part of the hin, to  temper with the fine flour, a present to Jehovah, by a statute  age-during -- continually; 
26O 046:015 and prepare ye the lamb, and the present, and the oil,  morning by morning, a continual burnt-offering. 
26O 046:016 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: When the prince giveth a gift  to any of his sons, his inheritance it [is], to his sons it  [is]; their possession it [is] by inheritance. 
26O 046:017 And when he giveth a gift out of his inheritance to one of  his servants, then it hath been to him till the year of  freedom, and it hath turned back to the prince, only the  inheritance of his sons is theirs. 
26O 046:018 And the prince doth not take of the inheritance of the  people to oppress them, out of their possession, out of his own  possession he doth cause his sons to inherit, so that My people  are not scattered each from his possession.' 
26O 046:019 And he bringeth me in through the entrance that [is] by  the side of the gate, unto the holy chambers, unto the priests,  that are looking northward, and lo, there [is] a place in their  two sides westward. 
26O 046:020 And he saith unto me, `This [is] the place where the  priests do boil the guilt-offering and the sin-offering, where  they bake the present, so as not to bring [it] out unto the  outer court, to sanctify the people.' 
26O 046:021 And he bringeth me out unto the outer court, and causeth  me to pass over unto the four corners of the court, and lo, a  court in a corner of the court, a court in a corner of the  corner. 
26O 046:022 In the four corners of the court [are] perfume courts,  forty long, and thirty broad, one measure [is] to the four  corners. 
26O 046:023 And a row [is] round about in them, round about to them  four, and made with boilers under the rows round about. 
26O 046:024 And he saith unto me, `These [are] the houses of those  boiling where the ministrants of the house boil the sacrifice  of the people.' 
26O 047:001 And he causeth me to turn back unto the opening of the  house; and lo, water is coming forth from under the threshold  of the house eastward, for the front of the house [is]  eastward, and the water is coming down from beneath, from the  right side of the house, from the south of the altar. 
26O 047:002 And he causeth me to go out the way of the gate northward,  and causeth me to turn round the way without, unto the gate  that [is] without, the way that is looking eastward, and lo,  water is coming forth from the right side. 
26O 047:003 In the going out of the man eastward, and a line in his  hand, then he measureth a thousand by the cubit, and he causeth  me to pass over into water -- water to the ankles. 
26O 047:004 And he measureth a thousand, and causeth me to pass over  into water -- water to the knees. And he measureth a thousand,  and causeth me to pass over -- water to the loins. 
26O 047:005 And he measureth a thousand -- a stream that I am not able  to pass over; for risen have the waters -- waters to swim in --  a stream that is not passed over. 
26O 047:006 And he saith unto me, `Hast thou seen, son of man?' and he  leadeth me, and bringeth me back unto the edge of the stream. 
26O 047:007 In my turning back, then, lo, at the edge of the stream  [are] very many trees, on this side and on that side. 
26O 047:008 And he saith unto me, `These waters are going forth unto  the east circuit, and have gone down unto the desert, and have  entered the sea; unto the sea they are brought forth, and the  waters have been healed. 
26O 047:009 And it hath come to pass, every living creature that  teemeth, whithersoever the streams come, doth live: and there  hath been great abundance of fish, for these waters have come  thither, and they are healed; and every thing whither the  stream cometh hath lived. 
26O 047:010 And it hath come to pass, fishers do stand by it, from  En-Gedi even unto En-Eglaim; a spreading place of nets they  are; according to their own kind is their fish, as the fish of  the great sea, very many. 
26O 047:011 Its miry and its marshy places -- they are not healed; to  salt they have been given up. 
26O 047:012 And by the stream there cometh up on its edge, on this  side and on that side, every [kind of] fruit-tree whose leaf  fadeth not, and not consumed is its fruit, according to its  months it yieldeth first-fruits, because its waters from the  sanctuary are coming forth; and its fruits hath been for food,  and its leaf for medicine. 
26O 047:013 `Thus said the Lord Jehovah: This [is] the border whereby  ye inherit the land, according to the twelve tribes of Israel;  Joseph [hath] portions. 
26O 047:014 And ye have inherited it, one as well as another, in that  I have lifted up My hand to give it to your fathers; and this  land hath fallen to you in inheritance. 
26O 047:015 `And this [is] the border of the land at the north  quarter; from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, at the coming  in to Zedad: 
26O 047:016 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, that [is] between the border of  Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, that [is] at  the coast of Havran. 
26O 047:017 And the border from the sea hath been Hazar-Enan, the  border of Damascus, and Zaphon at the north, and the border of  Hamath: and [this is] the north quarter. 
26O 047:018 `And the east quarter [is] from between Havran, and  Damascus, and Gilead, and the land of Israel, [to] the Jordan;  from the border over-against the eastern sea ye measure: and  [this is] the east quarter. 
26O 047:019 `And the south quarter southward [is] from Tamar unto the  waters of Meriboth-Kadesh, the stream unto the great sea: and  [this is] the south quarter southward. 
26O 047:020 `And the west quarter [is] the great sea, from the border  till over-against the coming in to Hamath: this [is] the west  quarter. 
26O 047:021 `And ye have divided this land to you, according to the  tribes of Israel; 
26O 047:022 and it hath come to pass, ye separate it for an  inheritance to yourselves, and to the sojourners who are  sojourning in your midst, who have begotten sons in your midst,  and they have been to you as native, with the sons of Israel,  with you they are separated for an inheritance in the midst of  the tribes of Israel. 
26O 047:023 And it hath come to pass, in the tribe with which the  sojourner sojourneth, there ye give his inheritance -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 048:001 And these [are] the names of the tribes: From the north end  unto the side of the way of Hethlon, at the coming in to  Hamath, Hazar-Enan, the border of Damascus northward, unto the  side of Hamath, and they have been his -- side east and west,  Dan one, 
26O 048:002 and by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west  side, Asher one, 
26O 048:003 and by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto  the west side, Naphtali one, 
26O 048:004 and by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the  west side, Manasseh one, 
26O 048:005 and by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the  west side, Ephraim one, 
26O 048:006 and by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto  the west side, Reuben one, 
26O 048:007 and by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the  west side, Judah one, 
26O 048:008 and by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the  west side is the heave-offering that ye lift up, five and  twenty thousand broad and long, as one of the parts, from the  east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary hath been in  its midst. 
26O 048:009 The heave-offering that ye lift up to Jehovah [is] five and  twenty thousand long, and broad ten thousand. 
26O 048:010 And of these is the holy heave-offering for the priests,  northward five and twenty thousand, and westward [in] breadth  ten thousand, and eastward [in] breadth ten thousand, and  southward [in] length five and twenty thousand: and the  sanctuary of Jehovah hath been in its midst. 
26O 048:011 For the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok,  who have kept My charge, who erred not in the erring of the  sons of Israel, as the Levites erred, 
26O 048:012 even the heave-offering hath been to them, out of the  heave-offering of the land, most holy, by the border of the  Levites. 
26O 048:013 `And [to] the Levites over-against the border of the  priests [are] five and twenty thousand [in] length, and [in]  breadth ten thousand, all the length [is] five and twenty  thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. 
26O 048:014 And they do not sell of it, nor exchange, nor cause to  pass away the first-fruit of the land: for [it is] holy to  Jehovah. 
26O 048:015 And the five thousand that is left in the breadth, on the  front of the five and twenty thousand, is common -- for the  city, for dwelling, and for suburb, and the city hath been in  its midst. 
26O 048:016 And these [are] its measures: the north side five hundred,  and four thousand, and the south side five hundred, and four  thousand, and on the east side five hundred, and four thousand,  and the west side five hundred, and four thousand. 
26O 048:017 And the suburb to the city hath been northward, fifty and  two hundred, and southward, fifty and two hundred, and  eastward, fifty and two hundred, and westward, fifty and two  hundred. 
26O 048:018 `And the residue in length over-against the heave-offering  of the holy [portion is] ten thousand eastward, and ten  thousand westward, and it hath been over-against the  heave-offering of the holy [portion], and its increase hath  been for food to the servants of the city, 
26O 048:019 even [to] him who is serving the city, they serve it out  of all the tribes of Israel. 
26O 048:020 All the heave-offering [is] five and twenty thousand by  five and twenty thousand, square do ye lift up the  heave-offering of the holy [portion] with the possession of the  city. 
26O 048:021 `And the residue [is] for the prince, on this side and  on that side of the heave-offering of the holy [portion], and of  the possession of the city, on the front of the five and twenty  thousand of the heave-offering unto the east border, and  westward, on the front of the five and twenty thousand on the  west border, over-against the portions of the prince; and the  heave-offering of the holy [portion], and the sanctuary of the  house, hath been in its midst. 
26O 048:022 And from the possession of the Levites, from the  possession of the city, in the midst of that which is to the  prince, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin,  there is to the prince. 
26O 048:023 `As to the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the  west side, Benjamin one, 
26O 048:024 and by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the  west side, Simeon one, 
26O 048:025 and by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the  west side, Issachar one, 
26O 048:026 and by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the  west side, Zebulun one, 
26O 048:027 and by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the  west side, Gad one, 
26O 048:028 and by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the  border hath been from Tamar [to] the waters of Meriboth-Kadesh,  the stream by the great sea. 
26O 048:029 This [is] the land that ye separate by inheritance to the  tribes of Israel, and these [are] their portions -- an  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
26O 048:030 `And these [are] the outgoings of the city on the north  side, five hundred, and four thousand measures. 
26O 048:031 And the gates of the city [are] according to 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. 
26O 048:032 And on the east side five hundred, and four thousand, and  three gates: the gate of Joseph one, the gate of Benjamin one,  the gate of Dan one. 
26O 048:033 And the south side five hundred, and four thousand  measures, and three gates: the gate of Simeon one, the gate of  Issachar one, the gate of Zebulun one. 
26O 048:034 The west side five hundred, and four thousand, their gates  three: the gate of Gad one, the gate of Asher one, the gate of  Naphtali one. 
26O 048:035 Round about [is] eighteen thousand, and the renown of the  city [is] from the day Jehovah [is] there.'  
27O 001:001 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah,  come hath Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Jerusalem, and  layeth siege against it; 
27O 001:002 and the Lord giveth into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah,  and some of the vessels of the house of God, and he bringeth  them in [to] the land of Shinar, [to] the house of his god, and  the vessels he hath brought in [to] the treasure-house of his  god. 
27O 001:003 And the king saith, to Ashpenaz master of his eunuchs, to  bring in out of the sons of Israel, (even of the royal seed,  and of the chiefs,) 
27O 001:004 lads in whom there is no blemish, and of good appearance,  and skilful in all wisdom, and possessing knowledge, and  teaching thought, and who have ability to stand in the palace  of the king, and to teach them the literature and language of  the Chaldeans. 
27O 001:005 And the king doth appoint for them a rate, day by day, of  the king's portion of food, and of the wine of his drinking, so  as to nourish them three years, that at the end thereof they  may stand before the king. 
27O 001:006 And there are among them out of the sons of Judah, Daniel,  Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 
27O 001:007 and the chief of the eunuchs setteth names on them, and he  setteth on Daniel, Belteshazzar; and on Hananiah, Shadrach; and  on Mishael, Meshach; and on Azariah, Abed-Nego. 
27O 001:008 And Daniel purposeth in his heart that he will not pollute  himself with the king's portion of food, and with the wine of  his drinking, and he seeketh of the chief of the eunuchs that  he may not pollute himself. 
27O 001:009 And God giveth Daniel for kindness and for mercies before  the chief of the eunuchs; 
27O 001:010 and the chief of the eunuchs saith to Daniel, `I am fearing  my lord the king, who hath appointed your food and your drink,  for why doth he see your faces sadder than [those of] the lads  which [are] of your circle? then ye have made my head indebted  to the king,' 
27O 001:011 And Daniel saith unto the Meltzar, whom the chief of the  eunuchs hath appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and  Azariah, 
27O 001:012 `Try, I pray thee, thy servants, ten days; and they give to  us of the vegetables, and we eat, and water, and we drink; 
27O 001:013 and our appearance is seen before thee, and the appearance  of the lads who are eating the king's portion of food, and as  thou seest -- deal with thy servants.' 
27O 001:014 And he hearkeneth to them, to this word, and trieth them  ten days: 
27O 001:015 and at the end of ten days their appearance hath appeared  better and fatter in flesh then any of the lads who are eating  the king's portion of food. 
27O 001:016 And the Meltzar is taking away their portion of food, and  the wine of their drink, and is giving to them vegetables. 
27O 001:017 As to these four lads, God hath given to them knowledge and  understanding in every [kind of] literature, and wisdom; and  Daniel hath given instruction about every [kind of] vision and  dreams. 
27O 001:018 And at the end of the days that the king had said to bring  them in, bring them in doth the chief of the eunuchs before  Nebuchadnezzar. 
27O 001:019 And the king speaketh with them, and there hath none been  found among them all like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and  Azariah, and they stand before the king; 
27O 001:020 and [in] any matter of wisdom [and] understanding that the  king hath sought of them, he findeth them ten hands above all  the scribes, the enchanters, who [are] in all his kingdom. 
27O 001:021 And Daniel is unto the first year of Cyrus the king. 
27O 002:001 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar,  dreamed hath Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and his spirit doth move  itself, and his sleep hath been against him; 
27O 002:002 and the king saith to call for scribes, and for enchanters,  and for sorcerers, and for Chaldeans, to declare to the king  his dreams. And they come in and stand before the king; 
27O 002:003 and the king saith to them, `A dream I have dreamed, and  moved is my spirit to know the dream.' 
27O 002:004 And the Chaldeans speak to the king [in] Aramaean, `O king,  to the ages live, tell the dream to thy servants, and the  interpretation we do shew.' 
27O 002:005 The king hath answered and said to the Chaldeans, `The thing  from me is gone; if ye do not cause me to know the dream and  its interpretation, pieces ye are made, and your houses are  made dunghills; 
27O 002:006 and if the dream and its interpretation ye do shew, gifts,  and fee, and great glory ye receive from before me, therefore  the dream and its interpretation shew ye me.' 
27O 002:007 They have answered a second time, and are saying, `Let the  king tell the dream to his servants, and the interpretation we  do shew. 
27O 002:008 The king hath answered and said, `Of a truth I know that  time ye are gaining, because that ye have seen that the thing  is gone from me, 
27O 002:009 [so] that, if the dream ye do not cause me to know -- one is  your sentence, seeing a word lying and corrupt ye have prepared  to speak before me, till that the time is changed, therefore  the dream tell ye to me, then do I know that its interpretation  ye do shew me.' 
27O 002:010 The Chaldeans have answered before the king, and are  saying, `There is not a man on the earth who is able to shew  the king's matter; therefore, no king, chief, and ruler, hath  asked such a thing as this of any scribe, and enchanter, and  Chaldean; 
27O 002:011 and the thing that the king is asking [is] precious, and  others are there not that do shew it before the king, save the  gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.' 
27O 002:012 Therefore the king hath been angry and very wroth, and hath  said to destroy all the wise men of Babylon; 
27O 002:013 And the sentence hath gone forth, and the wise men are  being slain, and they have sought Daniel and his companions to  be slain. 
27O 002:014 Then Daniel hath replied [with] counsel and discretion to  Arioch chief of the executioners of the king, who hath gone  forth to slay the wise men of Babylon. 
27O 002:015 He hath answered and said to Arioch the king's captain,  `Wherefore [is] the sentence so urgent from before the king?'  Then Arioch hath made the thing known to Daniel, 
27O 002:016 and Daniel hath gone up, and sought of the king that he  would give him time to shew the interpretation to the king. 
27O 002:017 Then Daniel to his house hath gone, and to Hananiah,  Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, he hath made the thing  known, 
27O 002:018 and to seek mercies from before the God of the heavens  concerning this secret, that they destroy not Daniel and his  companions with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 
27O 002:019 Then to Daniel, in a vision of the night, the secret hath  been revealed. Then hath Daniel blessed the God of the heavens. 
27O 002:020 Daniel hath answered and said, `Let the name of God be  blessed from age even unto age, for wisdom and might -- for  they are His. 
27O 002:021 And He is changing times and seasons, He is causing kings  to pass away, and He is raising up kings; He is giving wisdom  to the wise, and knowledge to those possessing understanding. 
27O 002:022 He is revealing deep and hidden things; He hath known what  [is] in darkness, and light with Him hath dwelt. 
27O 002:023 Thee, O God of my fathers, I am thanking and praising, for  wisdom and might Thou hast given to me; and now, Thou hast  caused me to know that which we have sought from Thee, for the  king's matter Thou hast caused us to know.' 
27O 002:024 Therefore Daniel hath gone up unto Arioch, whom the king  hath appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he hath  gone, and thus hath said to him, `The wise men of Babylon thou  dost not destroy, bring me up before the king, and the  interpretation to the king I do shew.' 
27O 002:025 Then Arioch in haste hath brought up Daniel before the  king, and thus hath said to him -- `I have found a man of the  sons of the Removed of Judah, who the interpretation to the  king doth make known.' 
27O 002:026 The king hath answered and said to Daniel, whose name [is]  Belteshazzar, `Art thou able to cause me to know the dream that  I have seen, and its interpretation?' 
27O 002:027 Daniel hath answered before the king and said, `The secret  that the king is asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the  scribes, the soothsayers, are not able to shew to the king; 
27O 002:028 but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets,  and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which [is]  to be in the latter end of the days. `Thy dream and the visions  of thy head on thy bed are these: 
27O 002:029 Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up  [concerning] that which [is] to be after this, and the Revealer  of secrets hath caused thee to know that which [is] to be. 
27O 002:030 As to me -- not for [any] wisdom that is in me above any  living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent  that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the  thoughts of thy heart thou dost know. 
27O 002:031 `Thou, O king, wast looking, and lo, a certain great image.  This image [is] mighty, and its brightness excellent; it is  standing over-against thee, and its appearance [is] terrible. 
27O 002:032 This image! its head [is] of good gold, its breasts and its  arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass; 
27O 002:033 its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron, and part  of them of clay. 
27O 002:034 Thou wast looking till that a stone hath been cut out  without hands, and it hath smitten the image on its feet, that  [are] of iron and of clay, and it hath broken them small; 
27O 002:035 then broken small together have been the iron, the clay,  the brass, the silver, and the gold, and they have been as  chaff from the summer threshing-floor, and carried them away  hath the wind, and no place hath been found for them: and the  stone that smote the image hath become a great mountain, and  hath filled all the land. 
27O 002:036 This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we do tell  before the king. 
27O 002:037 `Thou, O king, art a king of kings, for the God of the  heavens a kingdom, strength, and might, and glory, hath given  to thee; 
27O 002:038 and whithersoever sons of men are dwelling, the beast of  the field, and the fowl of the heavens, He hath given into thy  hand, and hath caused thee to rule over them all; thou [art]  this head of gold. 
27O 002:039 And after thee doth rise up another kingdom lower than  those, and another third kingdom of brass, that doth rule  overall the earth. 
27O 002:040 And the fourth kingdom is strong as iron, because that iron  is breaking small, and making feeble, all [things], even as  iron that is breaking all these, it beateth small and breaketh. 
27O 002:041 As to that which thou hast seen: the feet and toes, part of  them potter's clay, and part of them iron, the kingdom is  divided: and some of the standing of the iron [is] to be in it,  because that thou hast seen the iron mixed with miry clay. 
27O 002:042 As to the toes of the feet, part of them iron, and part of  them clay: some part of the kingdom is strong, and some part of  it is brittle. 
27O 002:043 Because thou hast seen iron mixed with miry clay, they are  mixing themselves with the seed of men: and they are not  adhering one with another, even as iron is not mixed with clay. 
27O 002:044 `And in the days of these kings raise up doth the God of  the heavens a kingdom that is not destroyed -- to the age, and  its kingdom to another people is not left: it beateth small and  endeth all these kingdoms, and it standeth to the age. 
27O 002:045 Because that thou hast seen that out of the mountain cut  hath been a stone without hands, and it hath beaten small the  iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great  God hath made known to the king that which [is] to be after  this; and the dream [is] true, and its interpretation stedfast. 
27O 002:046 Then hath king Nebuchadnezzar fallen on his face, and to  Daniel he hath done obeisance, and present, and sweet things,  he hath said to pour out to him. 
27O 002:047 The king hath answered Daniel and said, `Of a truth [it is]  that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a  revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this  secret.' 
27O 002:048 Then the king hath made Daniel great, and many great gifts  he hath given to him, and hath caused him to rule over all the  province of Babylon, and chief of the perfects over all the  wise men of Babylon. 
27O 002:049 And Daniel hath sought from the king, and he hath appointed  over the work of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach,  and Abed-Nego, and Daniel [is] in the gate of the king. 
27O 003:001 Nebuchadnezzar the king hath made an image of gold, its  height sixty cubits, its breadth six cubits; he hath raised it  up in the valley of Dura, in the province of Babylon; 
27O 003:002 and Nebuchadnezzar the king hath sent to gather the satraps,  the prefects, and the governors, the honourable judges, the  treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers  of the province, to come to the dedication of the image that  Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up. 
27O 003:003 Then are gathered the satraps, the prefects, and the  governors, the honourable judges, the treasurers, the  counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the province,  to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king  hath raised up: and they are standing before the image that  Nebuchadnezzar hath raised up. 
27O 003:004 And a crier is calling mightily: `To you they are saying: O  peoples, nations, and languages! 
27O 003:005 at the time that ye hear the voice of the cornet, the flute,  the harp, the sackbut, the psaltery, the symphony, and all  kinds of music, ye fall down and do obeisance to the golden  image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up: 
27O 003:006 and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, in that hour  he is cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.' 
27O 003:007 Therefore at that time, when all the peoples are hearing the  voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the  psaltery, and all kinds of music, falling down are all the  peoples, nations and languages, doing obeisance to the golden  image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath raised up. 
27O 003:008 Therefore at that time drawn near have certain Chaldeans,  and accused the Jews; 
27O 003:009 they have answered, yea, they are saying to Nebuchadnezzar  the king, `O king, to the ages live! 
27O 003:010 Thou, O king, hast made a decree that every man who doth  hear the voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut,  the psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, doth  fall down and do obeisance to the golden image; 
27O 003:011 and whoso doth not fall down and do obeisance, is cast into  the midst of a burning fiery furnace. 
27O 003:012 There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the  work of the province of Babylon -- Shadrach, Meshach, and  Abed-Nego, these men have not made of thee, O king, [any]  regard; thy gods they are not serving, and to the golden image  thou hast raised up -- are not making obeisance.' 
27O 003:013 Then Nebuchadnezzar, in anger and fury, hath said to bring  in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. Then these men have been  brought in before the king. 
27O 003:014 Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and said to them, `Is [it] a  laid plan, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego -- my gods ye are  not serving, and to the golden image that I have raised up ye  are not doing obeisance? 
27O 003:015 Now, lo, ye are ready, so that at the time that ye hear the  voice of the cornet, the flute, the harp, the sackbut, the  psaltery, and the symphony, and all kinds of music, ye fall  down and do obeisance to the image that I have made! -- and lo,  ye do no obeisance -- in that hour ye are cast into the midst  of a burning fiery furnace; who is that God who doth deliver  you out of my hands?' 
27O 003:016 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego have answered, yea, they  are saying to the king Nebuchadnezzar, `We have no need  concerning this matter to answer thee. 
27O 003:017 Lo, it is; our God whom we are serving, is able to deliver  us from a burning fiery furnace; and from thy hand, O king, He  doth deliver. 
27O 003:018 And lo -- not! be it known to thee, O king, that thy gods  we are not serving, and to the golden image thou hast raised up  we do no obeisance.' 
27O 003:019 Then Nebuchadnezzar hath been full of fury, and the  expression of his face hath been changed concerning Shadrach,  Meshach, and Abed-Nego; he answered and said to heat the  furnace seven times above that which it is seen to be heated; 
27O 003:020 and to certain mighty men who [are] in his force he hath  said to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, to cast into the  burning fiery furnace. 
27O 003:021 Then these men have been bound in their coats, their  tunics, and their turbans, and their clothing, and have been  cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 
27O 003:022 Therefore, because that the word of the king is urgent, and  the furnace heated exceedingly, those men who have taken up  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego -- killed them hath the spark  of the fire. 
27O 003:023 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, have  fallen down in the midst of the burning fiery furnace -- bound. 
27O 003:024 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king hath been astonished, and hath  risen in haste; he hath answered and said to his counsellors,  `Have we not cast three men into the midst of the fire --  bound?' They have answered and are saying to the king,  `Certainly, O king.' 
27O 003:025 He answered and hath said, `Lo, I am seeing four men loose,  walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and  the appearance of the fourth [is] like to a son of the gods.' 
27O 003:026 Then Nebuchadnezzar hath drawn near to the gate of the  burning fiery furnace; he hath answered and said, `Shadrach,  Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of God Most High come forth,  yea, come;' then come forth do Shadrach, Meshach, and  Abed-Nego, from the midst of the fire; 
27O 003:027 and gathered together, the satraps, the prefects, and the  governors, and the counsellors of the king, are seeing these  men, that the fire hath no power over their bodies, and the  hair of their head hath not been singed, and their coats have  not changed, and the smell of fire hath not passed on them. 
27O 003:028 Nebuchadnezzar hath answered and hath said, `Blessed [is]  the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who hath sent His  messenger, and hath delivered His servants who trusted on Him,  and the word of the king changed, and gave up their bodies that  they might not serve nor do obeisance to any god except to  their own God. 
27O 003:029 And by me a decree is made, that any people, nation, and  language, that doth speak erroneously concerning the God of  Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, pieces he is made, and its  house is made a dunghill, because that there is no other god  who is able thus to deliver.' 
27O 003:030 Then the king hath caused Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,  to prosper in the province of Babylon. 
27O 004:001 `Nebuchadnezzar the king to all peoples, nations, and  languages, who are dwelling in all the earth: Your peace be  great! 
27O 004:002 The signs and wonders that God Most High hath done with me,  it is good before me to shew. 
27O 004:003 His signs how great! and His wonders how mighty! His kingdom  [is] a kingdom age-during, and His rule [is] with generation  and generation. 
27O 004:004 `I, Nebuchadnezzar, have been at rest in my house, and  flourishing in my palace: 
27O 004:005 a dream I have seen, and it maketh me afraid, and the  conceptions on my bed, and the visions of my head, do trouble  me. 
27O 004:006 And by me a decree is made, to cause all the wise men of  Babylon to come up before me, that the interpretation of the  dream they may cause me to know. 
27O 004:007 Then coming up are the scribes, the enchanters, the  Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and the dream I have told  before them, and its interpretation they are not making known  to me. 
27O 004:008 And at last come up before me hath Daniel, whose name [is]  Belteshazzar -- according to the name of my god -- and in whom  [is] the spirit of the holy gods, and the dream before him I  have told: 
27O 004:009 `O Belteshazzar, master of the scribes, as I have known that  the spirit of the holy gods [is] in thee, and no secret doth  press thee, the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its  interpretation, tell. 
27O 004:010 As to the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and  lo, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [is]  great: 
27O 004:011 become great hath the tree, yea, strong, and its height  doth reach to the heavens, and its vision to the end of the  whole land; 
27O 004:012 its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food for  all [is] in it: under it take shade doth the beast of the  field, and in its boughs dwell do the birds of the heavens, and  of it fed are all flesh. 
27O 004:013 `I was looking, in the visions of my head on my bed, and  lo, a sifter, even a holy one, from the heavens is coming down. 
27O 004:014 He is calling mightily, and thus hath said, Cut down the  tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and  scatter its budding, move away let the beast from under it, and  the birds from off its branches; 
27O 004:015 but the stump of its roots leave in the earth, even with a  band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field, and  with the dew of the heavens is it wet, and with the beasts [is]  his portion in the herb of the earth; 
27O 004:016 his heart from man's is changed, and the heart of a beast  is given to him, and seven times pass over him; 
27O 004:017 by the decree of the sifters [is] the sentence, and by the  saying of the holy ones the requirement, to the intent that the  living may know that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of  men, and to whom He willeth He giveth it, and the lowest of men  He doth raise up over it. 
27O 004:018 `This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O  Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the  wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the  interpretation, and thou [art] able, for the spirit of the holy  gods [is] in thee. 
27O 004:019 `Then Daniel, whose name [is] Belteshazzar, hath been  astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the  king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream  and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered  and said, My lord, the dream -- to those hating thee, and its  interpretation -- to thine enemies! 
27O 004:020 The tree that thou hast seen, that hath become great and  strong, and its height doth reach to the heavens, and its  vision to all the land, 
27O 004:021 and its leaves [are] fair, and its budding great, and food  for all [is] in it, under it dwell doth the beast of the field,  and on its boughs sit do the birds of the heavens. 
27O 004:022 `Thou it [is], O king, for thou hast become great and  mighty, and thy greatness hath become great, and hath reached  to the heavens, and thy dominion to the end of the earth; 
27O 004:023 and that which the king hath seen -- a sifter, even a holy  one, coming down from the heavens, and he hath said, Cut down  the tree, and destroy it; but the stump of its roots leave in  the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender  grass of the field, and with the dew of the heavens it is wet,  and with the beast of the field [is] his portion, till that  seven times pass over him. 
27O 004:024 `This [is] the interpretation, O king, and the decree of  the Most High it [is] that hath come against my lord the king: 
27O 004:025 and they are driving thee away from men, and with the beast  of the field is thy dwelling, and the herb as oxen they do  cause thee to eat, and by the dew of the heavens they are  wetting thee, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou  knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and  to whom He willeth He giveth it. 
27O 004:026 And that which they said -- to leave the stump of the roots  of the tree; thy kingdom for thee abideth, after that thou  knowest that the heavens are ruling. 
27O 004:027 `Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee,  and thy sins by righteousness break off, and thy perversity by  pitying the poor, lo, it is a lengthening of thine ease. 
27O 004:028 `All -- hath come on Nebuchadnezzar the king. 
27O 004:029 `At the end of twelve months, on the palace of the kingdom  of Babylon he hath been walking; 
27O 004:030 the king hath answered and said, Is not this that great  Babylon that I have built, for the house of the kingdom, in the  might of my strength, and for the glory of mine honour? 
27O 004:031 `While the word is [in] the king's mouth a voice from the  heavens hath fallen: To thee they are saying: O Nebuchadnezzar  the king, the kingdom hath passed from thee, 
27O 004:032 and from men they are driving thee away, and with the beast  of the field [is] thy dwelling, the herb as oxen they do cause  thee to eat, and seven times do pass over thee, till that thou  knowest that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and  to whom He willeth He giveth it. 
27O 004:033 `In that hour the thing hath been fulfilled on  Nebuchadnezzar, and from men he is driven, and the herb as oxen  he eateth, and by the dew of the heavens his body is wet, till  that his hair as eagles' hath become great, and his nails as  birds.' 
27O 004:034 `And at the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, mine eyes to  the heavens have lifted up, and mine understanding unto me  returneth, and the Most High I have blessed, and the Age-during  Living One I have praised and honoured, whose dominion [is] a  dominion age-during, and His kingdom with generation and  generation; 
27O 004:035 and all who are dwelling on the earth as nothing are  reckoned, and according to his will He is doing among the  forces of the heavens and those dwelling on the earth, and  there is none that doth clap with his hand, and saith to Him,  What hast Thou done? 
27O 004:036 `At that time my understanding doth return unto me, and for  the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my brightness doth  return unto me, and to me my counsellors and my great men do  seek, and over my kingdom I have been made right, and abundant  greatness hath been added to me. 
27O 004:037 `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and  honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works [are]  truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is  able to humble.' 
27O 005:001 Belshazzar the king hath made a great feast to a thousand of  his great men, and before the thousand he is drinking wine; 
27O 005:002 Belshazzar hath said -- while tasting the wine -- to bring  in the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his  father had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that  drink with them may the king, and his great men, his wives, and  his concubines. 
27O 005:003 Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been  taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in  Jerusalem, and drunk with them have the king and his great men,  his wives and his concubines; 
27O 005:004 they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and  of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. 
27O 005:005 In that hour come forth have fingers of a man's hand, and  they are writing over-against the candlestick, on the plaster  of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the  extremity of the hand that is writing; 
27O 005:006 then the king's countenance hath changed, and his thoughts  do trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his  knees are smiting one against another. 
27O 005:007 Call doth the king mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the  Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. Answered hath the king, and  said to the wise men of Babylon, that, `Any man who doth read  this writing, and its interpretation doth shew me, purple he  putteth on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and third  in the kingdom he doth rule.' 
27O 005:008 Then coming up are all the wise men of the king, and they  are not able to read the writing, and the interpretation to  make known to the king; 
27O 005:009 then the king Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his  countenance is changing in him, and his great men are  perplexed. 
27O 005:010 The queen, on account of the words of the king and his  great men, to the banquet-house hath come up. Answered hath the  queen, and said, `O king, to the ages live; let not thy  thoughts trouble thee, nor thy countenance be changed: 
27O 005:011 there is a man in thy kingdom in whom [is] the spirit of  the holy gods: and, in the days of thy father, light, and  understanding, and wisdom -- as the wisdom of the gods -- was  found in him; and king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, chief of the  scribes, enchanters, Chaldeans, soothsayers, established him --  thy father, O king -- 
27O 005:012 because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and  understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of enigmas,  and loosing of knots was found in him, in Daniel, whose name  the king made Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and the  interpretation he doth show.' 
27O 005:013 Then Daniel hath been caused to come up before the king;  answered hath the king, and said to Daniel, `Thou art that  Daniel who [art] of the sons of the Removed of Judah, whom the  king my father brought in out of Judah? 
27O 005:014 And I have heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods [is]  in thee, and light, and understanding, and excellent wisdom  have been found in thee. 
27O 005:015 `And now, caused to come up before me have been the wise  men, the enchanters, that this writing they may read, and its  interpretation to cause me to know: and they are not able to  shew the interpretation of the thing: 
27O 005:016 and I -- I have heard of thee, that thou art able to give  interpretations, and to loose knots: now, lo -- thou art able  to read the writing, and its interpretation to cause me to know  -- purple thou dost put on, and a bracelet of gold [is] on thy  neck, and third in the kingdom thou dost rule.' 
27O 005:017 Then hath Daniel answered and said before the king, `Thy  gifts be to thyself, and thy fee to another give; nevertheless,  the writing I do read to the king, and the interpretation I  cause him to know; 
27O 005:018 thou, O king, God Most High, a kingdom, and greatness, and  glory, and honour, gave to Nebuchadnezzar thy father: 
27O 005:019 and because of the greatness that He gave to him, all  peoples, nations, and languages were trembling and fearing  before him: whom he willed he was slaying, and whom he willed  he was keeping alive, and whom he willed he was raising up, and  whom he willed he was making low; 
27O 005:020 and when his heart was high, and his spirit was strong to  act proudly, he hath been caused to come down from the throne  of his kingdom, and his glory they have caused to pass away  from him, 
27O 005:021 and from the sons of men he is driven, and his heart with  the beasts hath been like, and with the wild asses [is] his  dwelling; the herb like oxen they cause him to eat, and by the  dew of the heavens is his body wet, till that he hath known  that God Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and whom He  willeth He raiseth up over it. 
27O 005:022 `And thou, his son, Belshazzar, hast not humbled thy heart,  though all this thou hast known; 
27O 005:023 and against the Lord of the heavens thou hast lifted up  thyself; and the vessels of His house they have brought in  before thee, and thou, and thy great men, thy wives, and thy  concubines, are drinking wine with them, and gods of silver,  and of gold, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone, that are  not seeing, nor hearing, nor knowing, thou hast praised: and  the God in whose hand [is] thy breath, and all thy ways, Him  thou hast not honoured. 
27O 005:024 `Then from before Him sent is the extremity of the hand,  and the writing is noted down; 
27O 005:025 and this [is] the writing that is noted down: Numbered,  Numbered, Weighed, and Divided. 
27O 005:026 This [is] the interpretation of the thing: Numbered -- God  hath numbered thy kingdom, and hath finished it. 
27O 005:027 Weighed -- Thou art weighed in the balances, and hast been  found lacking. 
27O 005:028 Divided -- Divided is thy kingdom, and it hath been given  to the Medes and Persians.' 
27O 005:029 Then hath Belshazzar said, and they have clothed Daniel  with purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and they  have proclaimed concerning him that he is the third ruler in  the kingdom. 
27O 005:030 In that night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans is slain, 
27O 005:031 and Darius the Mede hath received the kingdom, when a son  of sixty and two years. 
27O 006:001 It hath been good before Darius, and he hath established  over the kingdom satraps -- a hundred and twenty -- that they  may be throughout the whole kingdom, 
27O 006:002 and higher than they three presidents, of whom Daniel [is]  first, that these satraps may give to them an account, and the  king have no loss. 
27O 006:003 Then this Daniel hath been overseer over the presidents and  satraps, because that an excellent spirit [is] in him, and the  king hath thought to establish him over the whole kingdom. 
27O 006:004 Then the presidents and satraps have been seeking to find a  cause of complaint against Daniel concerning the kingdom, and  any cause of complaint and corruption they are not able to  find, because that he [is] faithful, and any error and  corruption have not been found in him. 
27O 006:005 Then these men are saying, `We do not find against this  Daniel any cause of complaint, except we have found [it]  against him in the law of his God.' 
27O 006:006 Then these presidents and satraps have assembled near the  king, and thus they are saying to him: `O king Darius, to the  ages live! 
27O 006:007 Taken counsel have all the presidents of the kingdom, the  prefects, and the satraps, the counsellors, and the governors,  to establish a royal statute, and to strengthen an interdict,  that any who seeketh a petition from any god and man until  thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of lions. 
27O 006:008 Now, O king, thou dost establish the interdict, and sign the  writing, that it is not to be changed, as a law of Media and  Persia, that doth not pass away.' 
27O 006:009 Therefore king Darius hath signed the writing and interdict. 
27O 006:010 And Daniel, when he hath known that the writing is signed,  hath gone up to his house, and the window being opened for him,  in his upper chamber, over-against Jerusalem, three times in a  day he is kneeling on his knees, and praying, and confessing  before his God, because that he was doing [it] before this. 
27O 006:011 Then these men have assembled, and found Daniel praying and  entreating grace before his God; 
27O 006:012 then they have come near, yea, they are saying before the  king concerning the king's interdict: `Hast thou not signed an  interdict, that any man who seeketh from any god and man until  thirty days, save of thee, O king, is cast into a den of  lions?' Answered hath the king, and said, `The thing [is]  certain as a law of Media and Persia, that doth not pass away.' 
27O 006:013 Then they have answered, yea, they are saying before the  king, that, `Daniel, who [is] of the sons of the Removed of  Judah, hath not placed on thee, O king, [any] regard, nor on  the interdict that thou hast signed, and three times in a day  he is seeking his petition.' 
27O 006:014 Then the king, when he hath heard the matter, is greatly  displeased at himself, and on Daniel he hath set the heart to  deliver him, and till the going up of the sun he was arranging  to deliver him. 
27O 006:015 Then these men have assembled near the king, and are saying  to the king, `know, O king, that the law of Media and Persia  [is]: That any interdict and statute that the king doth  establish is not to be changed.' 
27O 006:016 Then the king hath said, and they have brought Daniel, and  have cast [him] into a den of lions. The king hath answered and  said to Daniel, `Thy God, whom thou art serving continually,  Himself doth deliver thee.' 
27O 006:017 And a stone hath been brought and placed at the mouth of  the den, and the king hath sealed it with his signet, and with  the signet of his great men, that the purpose be not changed  concerning Daniel. 
27O 006:018 Then hath the king gone to his palace, and he hath passed  the night fasting, and dahavan have not been brought up before  him, and his sleep hath fled [from] off him. 
27O 006:019 Then doth the king rise in the early morning, at the light,  and in haste to the den of lions he hath gone; 
27O 006:020 and at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a  grieved voice, he crieth. The king hath answered and said to  Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, thy God, whom thou  art serving continually, is He able to deliver thee from the  lions?' 
27O 006:021 Then Daniel hath spoken with the king: `O king, to the ages  live: 
27O 006:022 my God hath sent His messenger, and hath shut the lions'  mouths, and they have not injured me: because that before Him  purity hath been found in me; and also before thee, O king,  injury I have not done.' 
27O 006:023 Then was the king very glad for him, and he hath commanded  Daniel to be taken up out of the den, and Daniel hath been  taken up out of the den, and no injury hath been found in him,  because he hath believed in his God. 
27O 006:024 And the king hath said, and they have brought those men who  had accused Daniel, and to the den of lions they have cast  them, they, their sons, and their wives; and they have not come  to the lower part of the den till that the lions have power  over them, and all their bones they have broken small. 
27O 006:025 Then Darius the king hath written to all the peoples,  nations, and languages, who are dwelling in all the land: `Your  peace be great! 
27O 006:026 From before me is made a decree, that in every dominion of  my kingdom they are trembling and fearing before the God of  Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and abiding to the ages,  and His kingdom that which [is] not destroyed, and His dominion  [is] unto the end. 
27O 006:027 A deliverer, and rescuer, and doer of signs and wonders in  the heavens and in earth [is] He who hath delivered Daniel from  the paw of the lions.' 
27O 006:028 And this Daniel hath prospered in the reign of Darius, and  in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. 
27O 007:001 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel hath  seen a dream, and the visions of his head on his bed, then the  dream he hath written, the chief of the things he hath said. 
27O 007:002 Answered hath Daniel and said, `I was seeing in my vision by  night, and lo, the four winds of the heavens are coming forth  to the great sea; 
27O 007:003 and four great beasts are coming up from the sea, diverse  one from another. 
27O 007:004 The first [is] like a lion, and it hath an eagle's wings. I  was seeing till that its wings have been plucked, and it hath  been lifted up from the earth, and on feet as a man it hath  been caused to stand, and a heart of man is given to it. 
27O 007:005 And lo, another beast, a second, like to a bear, and to the  same authority it hath been raised, and three ribs [are] in its  mouth, between its teeth, and thus they are saying to it, Rise,  consume much flesh. 
27O 007:006 `After this I was seeing, and lo, another like a leopard,  and it hath four wings of a fowl on its back, and four heads  hath the beast, and dominion is given to it. 
27O 007:007 `After this I was seeing in the visions of the night, and  lo, a fourth beast, terrible and fearful, and exceedingly  strong; and it hath iron teeth very great, it hath consumed,  yea, it doth break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath  trampled; and it [is] diverse from all the beasts that [are]  before it; and it hath ten horns. 
27O 007:008 `I was considering about the horns, and lo, another horn, a  little one, hath come up between them, and three of the first  horns have been eradicated from before it, and lo, eyes as the  eyes of man [are] in this horn, and a mouth speaking great  things. 
27O 007:009 `I was seeing till that thrones have been thrown down, and  the Ancient of Days is seated, His garment as snow [is] white,  and the hair of his head [is] as pure wool, His throne flames  of fire, its wheels burning fire. 
27O 007:010 A flood of fire is proceeding and coming forth from before  Him, a thousand thousands do serve Him, and a myriad of myriads  before Him do rise up, the Judge is seated, and the books have  been opened. 
27O 007:011 `I was seeing, then, because of the voice of the great  words that the horn is speaking, I was seeing till that the  beast is slain, and his body hath been destroyed, and given to  the burning fire; 
27O 007:012 and the rest of the beasts have caused their dominion to  pass away, and a prolongation in life is given to them, till a  season and a time. 
27O 007:013 `I was seeing in the visions of the night, and lo, with the  clouds of the heavens as a son of man was [one] coming, and  unto the Ancient of Days he hath come, and before Him they have  brought him near. 
27O 007:014 And to him is given dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and  all peoples, nations, and languages do serve him, his dominion  [is] a dominion age-during, that passeth not away, and his  kingdom that which is not destroyed. 
27O 007:015 `Pierced hath been my spirit -- I, Daniel -- in the midst  of the sheath, and the visions of my head trouble me; 
27O 007:016 I have drawn near unto one of those standing, and the  certainty I seek from him of all this; and he hath said to me,  yea, the interpretation of the things he hath caused me to  know: 
27O 007:017 `These great beasts, that [are] four, [are] four kings,  they rise up from the earth; 
27O 007:018 and receive the kingdom do the saints of the Most High, and  they strengthen the kingdom unto the age, even unto the age of  the ages. 
27O 007:019 `Then I wished for certainty concerning the fourth beast,  that was diverse from them all, fearful exceedingly; its teeth  of iron, and its nails of brass, it hath devoured, it doth  break small, and the remnant with its feet it hath trampled; 
27O 007:020 and concerning the ten horns that [are] in its heads, and  of the other that came up, and before which three have fallen,  even of that horn that hath eyes, and a mouth speaking great  things, and whose appearance [is] great above its companions. 
27O 007:021 `I was seeing, and this horn is making war with the saints,  and hath prevailed over them, 
27O 007:022 till that the Ancient of Days hath come, and judgment is  given to the saints of the Most High, and the time hath come,  and the saints have strengthened the kingdom. 
27O 007:023 `Thus he said: The fourth beast is the fourth kingdom in  the earth, that is diverse from all kingdoms, and it consumeth  all the earth, and treadeth it down, and breaketh it small. 
27O 007:024 And the ten horns out of the kingdom [are] ten kings, they  rise, and another doth rise after them, and it is diverse from  the former, and three kings it humbleth; 
27O 007:025 and words as an adversary of the Most High it doth speak,  and the saints of the Most High it doth wear out, and it hopeth  to change seasons and law; and they are given into its hand,  till a time, and times, and a division of a time. 
27O 007:026 `And the Judge is seated, and its dominion they cause to  pass away, to cut off, and to destroy -- unto the end; 
27O 007:027 and the kingdom, and the dominion, even the greatness of  the kingdom under the whole heavens, is given to the people --  the saints of the Most High, His kingdom [is] a kingdom  age-during, and all dominions do serve and obey Him. 
27O 007:028 `Hitherto [is] the end of the matter. I, Daniel, greatly do  my thoughts trouble me, and my countenance is changed on me,  and the matter in my heart I have kept. 
27O 008:001 `In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a  vision hath appeared unto me -- I Daniel -- after that which  had appeared unto me at the beginning. 
27O 008:002 And I see in a vision, and it cometh to pass, in my seeing,  and I [am] in Shushan the palace that [is] in Elam the  province, and I see in a vision, and I have been by the stream  Ulai. 
27O 008:003 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain ram is  standing before the stream, and it hath two horns, and the two  horns [are] high; and the one [is] higher than the other, and  the high one is coming up last. 
27O 008:004 I have seen the ram pushing westward, and northward, and  southward, and no living creatures do stand before it, and  there is none delivering out of its hand, and it hath done  according to its pleasure, and hath exerted itself. 
27O 008:005 `And I have been considering, and lo, a young he-goat hath  come from the west, over the face of the whole earth, whom none  is touching in the earth; as to the young he-goat, a  conspicuous horn [is] between its eyes. 
27O 008:006 And it cometh unto the ram possessing the two horns, that I  had seen standing before the stream, and runneth unto it in the  fury of its power. 
27O 008:007 And I have seen it coming near the ram, and it becometh  embittered at it, and smiteth the ram, and breaketh its two  horns, and there hath been no power in the ram to stand before  it, and it casteth it to the earth, and trampleth it down, and  there hath been no deliverer to the ram out of its power. 
27O 008:008 `And the young he-goat hath exerted itself very much, and  when it is strong, broken hath been the great horn; and come up  doth a vision of four in its place, at the four winds of the  heavens. 
27O 008:009 And from the one of them come forth hath a little horn, and  it exerteth itself greatly toward the south, and toward the  east, and toward the beauteous [land]; 
27O 008:010 yea, it exerteth unto the host of the heavens, and causeth  to fall to the earth of the host, and of the stars, and  trampleth them down. 
27O 008:011 And unto the prince of the host it exerteth itself, and by  it taken away hath been the continual [sacrifice], and thrown  down the base of his sanctuary. 
27O 008:012 And the host is given up, with the continual [sacrifice],  through transgression, and it throweth down truth to the earth,  and it hath worked, and prospered. 
27O 008:013 `And I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a certain holy  one saith to the wonderful numberer who is speaking: Till when  [is] the vision of the continual [sacrifice], and of the  transgression, an astonishment, to make both sanctuary and host  a treading down? 
27O 008:014 And he saith unto me, Till evening -- morning two thousand  and three hundred, then is the holy place declared right. 
27O 008:015 `And it cometh to pass in my seeing -- I, Daniel -- the  vision, that I require understanding, and lo, standing  over-against me [is] as the appearance of a mighty one. 
27O 008:016 And I hear a voice of man between [the banks of] Ulai, and  he calleth and saith: Gabriel, cause this [one] to understand  the appearance. 
27O 008:017 And he cometh in near my station, and at his coming in I  have been afraid, and I fall on my face, and he saith unto me:  Understand, son of man, for at the time of the end [is] the  vision. 
27O 008:018 And in his speaking with me, I have been in a trance on my  face, on the earth; and he cometh against me, and causeth me to  stand on my station, 
27O 008:019 and saith: Lo, I -- I am causing thee to know that which is  in the latter end of the indignation; for, at the appointed  time [is] the end. 
27O 008:020 `The ram that thou hast seen possessing two horns, [are]  the kings of Media and Persia. 
27O 008:021 And the young he-goat, the hairy one, [is] the king of  Javan; and the great horn that [is] between its eyes is the  first king; 
27O 008:022 and that being broken, stand up do four in its place, four  kingdoms from the nation do stand up, and not in its power. 
27O 008:023 `And in the latter end of their kingdom, about the  perfecting of the transgressors, stand up doth a king, fierce  of face, and understanding hidden things; 
27O 008:024 and his power hath been mighty, and not by his own power;  and wonderful things he destroyeth, and he hath prospered, and  wrought, and destroyed mighty ones, and the people of the Holy  Ones. 
27O 008:025 `And by his understanding he hath also caused deceit to  prosper in his hand, and in his heart he exerteth himself, and  by ease he destroyeth many; and against the prince of princes  he standeth -- and without hand he is broken. 
27O 008:026 And the appearance of the evening and of the morning, that  is told, is true; and thou, hide thou the vision, for [it is]  after many days.' 
27O 008:027 And I, Daniel, have been, yea, I became sick [for] days, and  I rise, and do the king's work, and am astonished at the  appearance, and there is none understanding. 
27O 009:001 In the first year of Darius, son of Ahasuerus, of the seed  of the Medes, who hath been made king over the kingdom of the  Chaldeans, 
27O 009:002 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, have understood  by books the number of the years, (in that a word of Jehovah  hath been unto Jeremiah the prophet,) concerning the fulfilling  of the wastes of Jerusalem -- seventy years; 
27O 009:003 and I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek [by] prayer and  supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes. 
27O 009:004 And I pray to Jehovah my God, and confess, and say: `I  beseech Thee, O Lord God, the great and the fearful, keeping  the covenant and the kindness to those loving Him, and to those  keeping His commands; 
27O 009:005 we have sinned, and done perversely, and done wickedly, and  rebelled, to turn aside from Thy commands, and from Thy  judgments: 
27O 009:006 and we have not hearkened unto Thy servants, the prophets,  who have spoken in Thy name unto our kings, our heads, and our  fathers, and to all the people of the land. 
27O 009:007 `To Thee, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and to us the  shame of face, as [at] this day, to the men of Judah, and to  the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near,  and who are far off, in all the lands whither Thou hast driven  them, in their trespass that they have trespassed against Thee. 
27O 009:008 `O Lord, to us [is] the shame of face, to our kings, to our  heads, and to our fathers, in that we have sinned against Thee. 
27O 009:009 `To the Lord our God [are] the mercies and the  forgivenesses, for we have rebelled against Him, 
27O 009:010 and have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah our God, to  walk in His laws, that He hath set before us by the hand of His  servants the prophets; 
27O 009:011 and all Israel have transgressed Thy law, to turn aside so  as not to hearken to Thy voice; and poured on us is the  execration, and the oath, that is written in the law of Moses,  servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. 
27O 009:012 `And He confirmeth His words that He hath spoken against  us, and against our judges who have judged us, to bring in upon  us great evil, in that it hath not been done under the whole  heavens as it hath been done in Jerusalem, 
27O 009:013 as it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil hath  come upon us, and we have not appeased the face of Jehovah our  God to turn back from our iniquities, and to act wisely in Thy  truth. 
27O 009:014 And Jehovah doth watch for the evil, and bringeth it upon  us, for righteous [is] Jehovah our God concerning all His works  that He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice. 
27O 009:015 And now, O Lord our God, who hast brought forth Thy people  from the land of Egypt by a strong hand, and dost make for Thee  a name as at this day, we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 
27O 009:016 `O Lord, according to all Thy righteous acts, let turn  back, I pray Thee, Thine anger and Thy fury from Thy city  Jerusalem, Thy holy mount, for by our sins, and by the  iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people [are] for a  reproach to all our neighbours; 
27O 009:017 and now, hearken, O our God, unto the prayer of Thy  servant, and unto his supplication, and cause Thy face to shine  on Thy sanctuary that [is] desolate, for the Lord's sake. 
27O 009:018 `Incline, O my God, Thine ear, and hear, open Thine eyes  and see our desolations, and the city on which Thy name is  called; for not for our righteous acts are we causing our  supplications to fall before Thee, but for Thy mercies that  [are] many. 
27O 009:019 O lord, hear, O Lord, forgive; O Lord, attend and do; do  not delay, for Thine own sake, O my God, for Thy name is called  on Thy city, and on Thy people.' 
27O 009:020 And while I am speaking, and praying, and confessing my  sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and causing my  supplication to fall before Jehovah my God, for the holy mount  of my God, 
27O 009:021 yea, while I am speaking in prayer, then that one Gabriel,  whom I had seen in vision at the commencement, being caused to  fly swiftly, is coming unto me at the time of the evening  present. 
27O 009:022 And he giveth understanding, and speaketh with me, and  saith, `O Daniel, now I have come forth to cause thee to  consider understanding wisely; 
27O 009:023 at the commencement of thy supplications hath the word come  forth, and I have come to declare [it], for thou [art] greatly  desired, and understand thou concerning the matter, and  consider concerning the appearance. 
27O 009:024 `Seventy weeks are determined for thy people, and for thy  holy city, to shut up the transgression, and to seal up sins,  and to cover iniquity, and to bring in righteousness  age-during, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint  the holy of holies. 
27O 009:025 And thou dost know, and dost consider wisely, from the  going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem till  Messiah the Leader [is] seven weeks, and sixty and two weeks:  the broad place hath been built again, and the rampart, even in  the distress of the times. 
27O 009:026 And after the sixty and two weeks, cut off is Messiah, and  the city and the holy place are not his, the Leader who hath  come doth destroy the people; and its end [is] with a flood,  and till the end [is] war, determined [are] desolations. 
27O 009:027 And he hath strengthened a covenant with many -- one week,  and [in] the midst of the week he causeth sacrifice and present  to cease, and by the wing of abominations he is making  desolate, even till the consummation, and that which is  determined is poured on the desolate one.' 
27O 010:001 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a thing is  revealed to Daniel, whose name is called Belteshazzar, and the  thing [is] true, and the warfare [is] great: and he hath  understood the thing, and hath understanding about the  appearance. 
27O 010:002 `In those days, I, Daniel, have been mourning three weeks  of days; 
27O 010:003 desirable bread I have not eaten, and flesh and wine hath  not come in unto my mouth, and I have not anointed myself at  all, till the completion of three weeks of days. 
27O 010:004 `And in the twenty and fourth day of the first month, I  have been by the side of the great river, that [is] Hiddekel: 
27O 010:005 and I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a certain one  clothed in linen, and his loins girt with pure gold of Uphaz, 
27O 010:006 and his body as a beryl, and his face as the appearance of  lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his  feet as the aspect of bright brass, and the voice of his words  as the voice of a multitude. 
27O 010:007 `And I have seen -- I, Daniel, by myself -- the appearance:  and the men who have been with me have not seen the appearance,  but a great trembling hath fallen on them, and they flee to be  hidden; 
27O 010:008 and I have been left by myself, and I see this great  appearance, and there hath been no power left in me, and my  honour hath been turned in me to corruption, yea, I have not  retained power. 
27O 010:009 `And I hear the voice of his words, and when I hear the  voice of his words, then I have been in a trance on my face,  and my face [is] to the earth; 
27O 010:010 and lo, a hand hath come against me, and shaketh me on my  knees and the palms of my hands. 
27O 010:011 `And he saith unto me: Daniel, man greatly desired, attend  to the words that I am speaking unto thee, and stand on thy  station, for now I have been sent unto thee. `And when he  speaketh with me this word, I have stood trembling. 
27O 010:012 And he saith unto me: Do not fear, Daniel, for from the  first day that thou didst give thy heart to understand, and to  humble thyself before thy God, thy words have been heard, and I  have come because of thy words. 
27O 010:013 `And the head of the kingdom of Persia is standing  over-against me twenty and one days, and lo, Michael, first of  the chief heads, hath come in to help me, and I have remained  there near the kings of Persia; 
27O 010:014 and I have come to cause thee to understand that which  doth happen to thy people in the latter end of the days, for  yet the vision [is] after days. 
27O 010:015 `And when he speaketh with me about these things, I have  set my face toward the earth, and have been silent; 
27O 010:016 and lo, as the manner of the sons of men, he is striking  against my lips, and I open my mouth, and I speak, and say unto  him who is standing over-against me: My lord, by the appearance  turned have been my pangs against me, and I have retained no  power. 
27O 010:017 And how is the servant of this my lord able to speak with  this my lord? as for me, henceforth there remaineth in me no  power, yea, breath hath not been left in me. 
27O 010:018 `And he addeth, and striketh against me, as the appearance  of a man, and strengtheneth me, 
27O 010:019 and he saith: Do not fear, O man greatly desired, peace to  thee, be strong, yea, be strong; and when he speaketh with me,  I have strengthened myself, and I say, Let my lord speak, for  thou hast strengthened me. 
27O 010:020 And he saith, Hast thou known why I have come unto thee?  and now I turn back to fight with the head of Persia; yea, I am  going forth, and lo, the head of Javan hath come; 
27O 010:021 but I declare to thee that which is noted down in the  Writing of Truth, and there is not one strengthening himself  with me, concerning these, except Michael your head. 
27O 011:001 `And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing  [is] for a strengthener, and for a stronghold to him; 
27O 011:002 and, now, truth I declare to thee, Lo, yet three kings are  standing for Persia, and the fourth doth become far richer than  all, and according to his strength by his riches he stirreth up  the whole, with the kingdom of Javan. 
27O 011:003 And a mighty king hath stood, and he hath ruled a great  dominion, and hath done according to his will; 
27O 011:004 and according to his standing is his kingdom broken, and  divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his  posterity, nor according to his dominion that he ruled, for his  kingdom is plucked up -- and for others apart from these. 
27O 011:005 `And a king of the south -- even of his princes -- doth  become strong, and doth prevail against him, and hath ruled; a  great dominion [is] his dominion. 
27O 011:006 `And at the end of years they do join themselves together,  and a daughter of the king of the south doth come in unto the  king of the north to do upright things; and she doth not retain  the power of the arm; and he doth not stand, nor his arm; and  she is given up, she, and those bringing her in, and her child,  and he who is strengthening her in [these] times. 
27O 011:007 `And [one] hath stood up from a branch of her roots, [in]  his station, and he cometh in unto the bulwark, yea, he cometh  into a stronghold of the king of the south, and hath wrought  against them, and hath done mightily; 
27O 011:008 and also their gods, with their princes, with their  desirable vessels of silver and gold, into captivity he  bringeth [into] Egypt; and he doth stand more years than the  king of the north. 
27O 011:009 `And the king of the south hath come into the kingdom, and  turned back unto his own land; 
27O 011:010 and his sons stir themselves up, and have gathered a  multitude of great forces, and he hath certainly come in, and  overflowed, and passed through, and he turneth back, and they  stir themselves up unto his stronghold. 
27O 011:011 And the king of the south doth become embittered, and hath  gone forth and fought with him, with the king of the north, and  hath caused a great multitude to stand, and the multitude hath  been given into his hand, 
27O 011:012 and he hath carried away the multitude, his heart is high,  and he hath caused myriads to fall, and he doth not become  strong. 
27O 011:013 `And the king of the north hath turned back, and hath  caused a multitude to stand, greater than the first, and at the  end of the times a second time he doth certainly come in with a  great force, and with much substance; 
27O 011:014 and in those times many do stand up against the king of  the south, and sons of the destroyers of thy people do lift  themselves up to establish the vision -- and they have  stumbled. 
27O 011:015 `And the king of the north cometh in, and poureth out a  mount, and hath captured fenced cities; and the arms of the  south do not stand, nor the people of his choice, yea, there is  no power to stand. 
27O 011:016 And he who is coming unto him doth according to his will,  and there is none standing before him; and he standeth in the  desirable land, and [it is] wholly in his hand. 
27O 011:017 And he setteth his face to go in with the strength of his  whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he hath wrought,  and the daughter of women he giveth to him, to corrupt her; and  she doth not stand, nor is for him. 
27O 011:018 `And he turneth back his face to the isles, and hath  captured many; and a prince hath caused his reproach of himself  to cease; without his reproach he turneth [it] back to him. 
27O 011:019 And he turneth back his face to the strongholds of his  land, and hath stumbled and fallen, and is not found. 
27O 011:020 `And stood up on his station hath [one] causing an exactor  to pass over the honour of the kingdom, and in a few days he is  destroyed, and not in anger, nor in battle. 
27O 011:021 `And stood up on his station hath a despicable one, and  they have not given unto him the honour of the kingdom, and he  hath come in quietly, and hath strengthened the kingdom by  flatteries. 
27O 011:022 And the arms of the flood are overflowed from before him,  and are broken; and also the leader of the covenant. 
27O 011:023 And after they join themselves unto him, he worketh  deceit, and hath increased, and hath been strong by a few of  the nation. 
27O 011:024 Peaceably even into the fertile places of the province He  cometh, and he hath done that which his fathers did not, nor  his fathers' fathers; prey, and spoil, and substance, to them  he scattereth, and against fenced places he deviseth his  devices, even for a time. 
27O 011:025 `And he stirreth up his power and his heart against the  king of the south with a great force, and the king of the south  stirreth himself up to battle with a very great and mighty  force, and standeth not, for they devise devices against him, 
27O 011:026 and those eating his portion of food destroy him, and his  force overfloweth, and fallen have many wounded. 
27O 011:027 `And both of the kings' hearts [are] to do evil, and at  one table they speak lies, and it doth not prosper, for yet the  end [is] at a time appointed. 
27O 011:028 And he turneth back [to] his land with great substance,  and his heart [is] against the holy covenant, and he hath  wrought, and turned back to his land. 
27O 011:029 At the appointed time he turneth back, and hath come  against the south, and it is not as the former, and as the  latter. 
27O 011:030 And ships of Chittim have come in against him, and he hath  been pained, and hath turned back, and hath been insolent  toward the holy covenant, and hath wrought, and turned back,  and he understandeth concerning those forsaking the holy  covenant. 
27O 011:031 And strong ones out of him stand up, and have polluted the  sanctuary, the stronghold, and have turned aside the continual  [sacrifice], and appointed the desolating abomination. 
27O 011:032 And those acting wickedly [against] the covenant, he  defileth by flatteries; and the people knowing their God are  strong, and have wrought. 
27O 011:033 And the teachers of the people give understanding to many;  and they have stumbled by sword, and by flame, by captivity,  and by spoil -- days. 
27O 011:034 And in their stumbling, they are helped -- a little help,  and joined to them have been many with flatteries. 
27O 011:035 And some of the teachers do stumble for refining by them,  and for purifying, and for making white -- till the end of the  time, for [it is] yet for a time appointed. 
27O 011:036 `And the king hath done according to his will, and  exalteth himself, and magnifieth himself against every god, and  against the God of gods he speaketh wonderful things, and hath  prospered till the indignation hath been completed, for that  which is determined hath been done. 
27O 011:037 And unto the God of his fathers he doth not attend, nor to  the desire of women, yea, to any god he doth not attend, for  against all he magnifieth himself. 
27O 011:038 And to the god of strongholds, on his station, he giveth  honour; yea, to a god whom his fathers knew not he giveth  honour, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone,  and with desirable things. 
27O 011:039 And he hath dealt in the fortresses of the strongholds  with a strange god whom he hath acknowledged; he multiplieth  honour, and hath caused them to rule over many, and the ground  he apportioneth at a price. 
27O 011:040 `And at the time of the end, push himself forward with him  doth a king of the south, and storm against him doth a king of  the north, with chariot, and with horsemen, and with many  ships; and he hath come in to the lands, and hath overflowed,  and passed over, 
27O 011:041 and hath come into the desirable land, and many do  stumble, and these escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and  the chief of the sons of Ammon. 
27O 011:042 `And he sendeth forth his hand upon the lands, and the  land of Egypt is not for an escape; 
27O 011:043 and he hath ruled over treasures of gold and of silver,  and over all the desirable things of Egypt, and Lubim and  Cushim [are] at his steps. 
27O 011:044 `And reports trouble him out of the east and out of the  north, and he hath gone forth in great fury to destroy, and to  devote many to destruction; 
27O 011:045 and he planteth the tents of his palace between the seas  and the holy desirable mountain, and hath come unto his end,  and there is no helper to him. 
27O 012:001 `And at that time stand up doth Michael, the great head,  who is standing up for the sons of thy people, and there hath  been a time of distress, such as hath not been since there hath  been a nation till that time, and at that time do thy people  escape, every one who is found written in the book. 
27O 012:002 `And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the  ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to  reproaches -- to abhorrence age-during. 
27O 012:003 And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the  expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age  and for ever. 
27O 012:004 And thou, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the book till  the time of the end, many do go to and fro, and knowledge is  multiplied.' 
27O 012:005 And I have looked -- I, Daniel -- and lo, two others are  standing, one here at the edge of the flood, and one there at  the edge of the flood, 
27O 012:006 and he saith to the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the  waters of the flood, `Till when [is] the end of these wonders?' 
27O 012:007 And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the  waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his  left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the  age, that, `After a time, times, and a half, and at the  completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people,  finished are all these.' 
27O 012:008 And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, `O my  lord, what [is] the latter end of these?' 
27O 012:009 And he saith, `Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the  things till the time of the end; 
27O 012:010 Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea,  refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none  of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do  understand; 
27O 012:011 and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual  [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating  abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety. 
27O 012:012 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and  doth come to the days, a thousand, three hundred, thirty and  five. 
27O 012:013 And thou, go on to the end, then thou dost rest, and dost  stand in thy lot at the end of the days.' 
28O 001:001 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Hosea, son of Beeri,  in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah,  and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel: 
28O 001:002 The commencement of Jehovah's speaking by Hosea. And Jehovah  saith unto Hosea, `Go, take to thee a woman of whoredoms, and  children of whoredoms, for utterly go a-whoring doth the land  from after Jehovah.' 
28O 001:003 And he goeth and taketh Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she  conceiveth and beareth to him a son; 
28O 001:004 and Jehovah saith unto him, `Call his name Jezreel, for yet  a little, and I have charged the blood of Jezreel on the house  of Jehu, and have caused to cease the kingdom of the house of  Israel; 
28O 001:005 and it hath come to pass in that day that I have broken the  bow of Israel, in the valley of Jezreel.' 
28O 001:006 And she conceiveth again, and beareth a daughter, and He  saith to him, `Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, for I add no more to  pity the house of Israel, for I do utterly take them away; 
28O 001:007 and the house of Judah I pity, and have saved them by  Jehovah their God, and do not save them by bow, and by sword,  and by battle, by horses, and by horsemen.' 
28O 001:008 And she weaneth Lo-Ruhamah, and conceiveth, and beareth a  son; 
28O 001:009 and He saith, `Call his name Lo-Ammi, for ye [are] not My  people, and I am not for you; 
28O 001:010 and the number of the sons of Israel hath been as the sand  of the sea, that is not measured nor numbered, and it hath come  to pass in the place where it is said to them, Ye [are] not My  people, it is said to them, Sons of the Living God; 
28O 001:011 and gathered have been the sons of Judah and the sons of  Israel together, and they have appointed to themselves one  head, and have gone up from the land, for great [is] the day of  Jezreel. 
28O 002:001 `Say ye to your brethren -- Ammi, And to your sisters --  Ruhamah. 
28O 002:002 Plead ye with your mother -- plead, (For she [is] not My  wife, and I [am] not her husband,) And she turneth her  whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her  breasts, 
28O 002:003 Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as [in] the day  of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set  her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst. 
28O 002:004 And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms [are]  they, 
28O 002:005 For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath  their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those  giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and  my drink. 
28O 002:006 Therefore, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I  have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find. 
28O 002:007 And she hath pursued her lovers, And she doth not overtake  them, And hath sought them, and doth not find, And she hath  said: I go, and I turn back unto My first husband, For --  better to me then than now. 
28O 002:008 And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the  new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And  the gold they prepared for Baal. 
28O 002:009 Therefore do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its  season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken  away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness. 
28O 002:010 And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her  lovers, And none doth deliver her out of My hand. 
28O 002:011 And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her  new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times, 
28O 002:012 And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she  said, A gift they [are] to me, That my lovers have given to me,  And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a  beast of the field. 
28O 002:013 And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom  she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament,  And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of  Jehovah. 
28O 002:014 Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go  to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart, 
28O 002:015 And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley  of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there  as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up  out of the land of Egypt. 
28O 002:016 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah, Thou dost call Me -- My husband, And dost not call Me  any more -- My lord. 
28O 002:017 And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her  mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name. 
28O 002:018 And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the  beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the  creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I  break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down  confidently. 
28O 002:019 And I have betrothed thee to Me to the age, And betrothed  thee to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and  mercies, 
28O 002:020 And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast  known Jehovah. 
28O 002:021 And it hath come to pass in that day, I answer -- an  affirmation of Jehovah, I answer the heavens, and they answer  the earth. 
28O 002:022 And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and  the oil, And they answer Jezreel. 
28O 002:023 And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied  Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou [art],  and it saith, My God!' 
28O 003:001 And Jehovah saith unto me: `Again, go, love a woman, loved  of a friend, and an adulteress, like the loved of Jehovah, the  sons of Israel, and they are turning unto other gods, and are  lovers of grape-cakes.' 
28O 003:002 And I buy her to me for fifteen silverlings, and a homer and  a letech of barley; 
28O 003:003 and I say unto her, `Many days thou dost remain for Me, thou  dost not go a-whoring, nor become any one's; and I also [am]  for thee.' 
28O 003:004 For many days remain do the sons of Israel without a king,  and there is no prince, and there is no sacrifice, and there  is no standing pillar, and there is no ephod and teraphim. 
28O 003:005 Afterwards turned back have the sons of Israel, and sought  Jehovah their God, and David their king, and have hastened unto  Jehovah, and unto His goodness, in the latter end of the days. 
28O 004:001 `Hear a word of Jehovah, sons of Israel, For a strife [is]  to Jehovah with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth,  nor kindness, Nor knowledge of God, in the land, 
28O 004:002 Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and  committing adultery -- have increased, And blood against blood  hath touched. 
28O 004:003 Therefore mourn doth the land, And weak is every dweller in  it, With the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the  heavens, And the fishes of the sea -- they are removed. 
28O 004:004 Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people  [are] as those striving with a priest. 
28O 004:005 And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a  prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy mother. 
28O 004:006 Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because  thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest  to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy  sons, I also! 
28O 004:007 According to their abundance so they sinned against Me,  Their honour into shame I change. 
28O 004:008 The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity  lift up their soul. 
28O 004:009 And it hath been, like people, like priest, And I have  charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it. 
28O 004:010 And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone  a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed  to Jehovah. 
28O 004:011 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart, 
28O 004:012 My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it,  For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go  a-whoring from under their God. 
28O 004:013 On tops of the mountains they do sacrifice, And on the  hills they make perfume, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth,  For good [is] its shade. 
28O 004:014 Therefore commit whoredom do your daughters, And your  spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when  they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit  adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the  whores they do sacrifice, A people that doth not understand  kicketh. 
28O 004:015 Though a harlot thou [art], O Israel, Let not Judah become  guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven,  Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth. 
28O 004:016 For as a refractory heifer hath Israel turned aside, Now  doth Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place. 
28O 004:017 Joined to idols [is] Ephraim, let him alone. 
28O 004:018 Sour [is] their drink, They have gone diligently a-whoring,  Her protectors have loved shame thoroughly. 
28O 004:019 Distressed her hath wind with its wings, And they are  ashamed of their sacrifices! 
28O 005:001 `Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O  house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you,  For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on  Tabor. 
28O 005:002 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter  to them all. 
28O 005:003 I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me,  For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel. 
28O 005:004 They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto  their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And  Jehovah they have not known. 
28O 005:005 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face,  And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also  hath Judah with them. 
28O 005:006 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek  Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them. 
28O 005:007 Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons  they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their  portions. 
28O 005:008 Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O  Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin. 
28O 005:009 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the  tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing. 
28O 005:010 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On  them I do pour out as water My wrath. 
28O 005:011 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he  went after the command. 
28O 005:012 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to  the house of Judah. 
28O 005:013 And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And  Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And  he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from  you a scar. 
28O 005:014 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the  house of Judah, I -- I tear and go, I bear away, and there is  no deliverer. 
28O 005:015 I go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are  desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do  seek Me speedily!' 
28O 006:001 `Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and  He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up. 
28O 006:002 He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth  raise us up, And we live before Him. 
28O 006:003 And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn  prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to  us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.' 
28O 006:004 What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O  Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew  rising early -- going. 
28O 006:005 Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by  sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth. 
28O 006:006 For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge  of God above burnt-offerings. 
28O 006:007 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt  treacherously against me. 
28O 006:008 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from  blood. 
28O 006:009 And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do  murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done. 
28O 006:010 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There  [is] the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel. 
28O 006:011 Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My  turning back [to] the captivity of My people! 
28O 007:001 `When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the  iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they  have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off  hath a troop in the street, 
28O 007:002 And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I  have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings,  Over-against My face they have been. 
28O 007:003 With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their  lies -- princes. 
28O 007:004 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a  baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough,  till its leavening. 
28O 007:005 A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with]  the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners. 
28O 007:006 For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In  their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker,  Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire. 
28O 007:007 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured  their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none  calling unto Me among them. 
28O 007:008 Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been  a cake unturned. 
28O 007:009 Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known,  Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not  known. 
28O 007:010 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face,  And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have  they sought Him for all this. 
28O 007:011 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they  called on -- [to] Asshur they have gone. 
28O 007:012 When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the  heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company  hath heard. 
28O 007:013 Wo to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them,  for they transgressed against Me, And I -- I ransom them, and  they have spoken lies against Me, 
28O 007:014 And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on  their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves,  They turn aside against Me. 
28O 007:015 And I instructed -- I strengthened their arms, And  concerning Me they think evil! 
28O 007:016 They turn back -- not to the Most High, They have been as a  deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the  insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land  of Egypt! 
28O 008:001 `Unto thy mouth -- a trumpet, As an eagle against the house  of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against  My law they have rebelled. 
28O 008:002 To Me they cry, `My God, we -- Israel -- have known Thee.' 
28O 008:003 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him. 
28O 008:004 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes,  and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have  made to them idols, So that they are cut off. 
28O 008:005 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger  against them, Till when are they not capable of purity? 
28O 008:006 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it  [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments! 
28O 008:007 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath  none -- a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield --  strangers do swallow it up. 
28O 008:008 Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among  nations, As a vessel in which is no delight. 
28O 008:009 For they -- they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone  by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers! 
28O 008:010 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and  they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes. 
28O 008:011 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been  to him altars to sin. 
28O 008:012 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange  thing they have been reckoned. 
28O 008:013 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and  they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember  their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They -- [to] Egypt they  turn back. 
28O 008:014 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And  Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire  into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces! 
28O 009:001 `Rejoice not, O Israel, be not joyful like the peoples, For  thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a gift  near all floors of corn. 
28O 009:002 Floor and wine-press do not delight them, And new wine doth  fail in her, 
28O 009:003 They do not abide in the land of Jehovah, And turned back  hath Ephraim [to] Egypt, And in Asshur an unclean thing they  eat. 
28O 009:004 They pour not out wine to Jehovah, Nor are they sweet to  Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All  eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It  doth not come into the house of Jehovah. 
28O 009:005 What do ye at the day appointed? And at the day of Jehovah's  festival? 
28O 009:006 For, lo, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt  gathereth them, Moph burieth them, The desirable things of  their silver, Nettles possess them -- a thorn [is] in their  tents. 
28O 009:007 Come in have the days of inspection, Come in have the days  of recompence, Israel doth know! a fool [is] the prophet, Mad  [is] the man of the Spirit, Because of the abundance of thine  iniquity, And great [is] the hatred. 
28O 009:008 Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! a snare  of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of  his God. 
28O 009:009 They have gone deep -- have done corruptly, As [in] the days  of Gibeah, He doth remember their iniquity, He doth inspect  their sins. 
28O 009:010 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the  first-fruit in a fig-tree, at its beginning, I have seen your  fathers, They -- they have gone in [to] Baal-Peor, And are  separated to a shameful thing, And are become abominable like  their love. 
28O 009:011 Ephraim [is] as a fowl, Fly away doth their honour, without  birth, And without womb, and without conception. 
28O 009:012 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them  childless -- without man, Surely also, wo to them, when I turn  aside from them. 
28O 009:013 Ephraim! when I have looked to the rock, Is planted in  comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out unto a slayer his  sons. 
28O 009:014 Give to them, Jehovah -- what dost Thou give? Give to them  miscarrying womb, and dry breasts. 
28O 009:015 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated  them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I do  drive them, I add not to love them, all their heads [are]  apostates. 
28O 009:016 Ephraim hath been smitten, Their root hath dried up, fruit  they yield not, Yea, though they bring forth, I have put to  death the desired of their womb. 
28O 009:017 Reject them doth my God, Because they have not hearkened to  Him, And they are wanderers among nations! 
28O 010:001 `An empty vine [is] Israel, Fruit he maketh like to  himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath  multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his  land, They have made goodly standing-pillars. 
28O 010:002 Their heart hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth  break down their altars, He doth destroy their  standing-pillars. 
28O 010:003 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not  feared Jehovah, And the king -- what doth he for us? 
28O 010:004 They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a  covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on  the furrows of a field. 
28O 010:005 For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria,  Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its  priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for  it hath removed from it, 
28O 010:006 Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king,  Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own  counsel. 
28O 010:007 Cut off is Samaria! Its king [is] as a chip on the face of  the waters. 
28O 010:008 And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of  Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have  said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon us. 
28O 010:009 From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There  they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle,  Because of sons of perverseness. 
28O 010:010 When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against  them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two  iniquities. 
28O 010:011 And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer -- loving to thresh, And  I -- I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause  [one] to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth  Jacob. 
28O 010:012 Sow for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to  loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To  seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to you. 
28O 010:013 Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye  have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy  way, In the abundance of thy might. 
28O 010:014 And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy  fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of  Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in  pieces. 
28O 010:015 Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your  wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel! 
28O 011:001 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I  have called for My Son. 
28O 011:002 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from  before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images  they make perfume. 
28O 011:003 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by  their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them. 
28O 011:004 With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love,  And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I  incline unto him -- I feed [him]. 
28O 011:005 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur --  he [is] his king, For they have refused to return. 
28O 011:006 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath  ended his bars, and consumed -- from their own counsels. 
28O 011:007 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning,  And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not. 
28O 011:008 How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O  Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim?  Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My  repentings. 
28O 011:009 I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to  destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst  the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity, 
28O 011:010 After Jehovah they go -- as a lion He roareth, When He  doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west. 
28O 011:011 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out  of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their  own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
28O 011:012 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit  the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And  with the Holy Ones [is] faithful! 
28O 012:001 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All  the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with  Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried. 
28O 012:002 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge  on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He  returneth to him. 
28O 012:003 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his  strength he was a prince with God, 
28O 012:004 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh  [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He  doth find him, And there He doth speak with us, 
28O 012:005 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial. 
28O 012:006 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment  keep thou, And wait on thy God continually. 
28O 012:007 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he  hath loved. 
28O 012:008 And Ephraim saith: `Surely I have become rich, I have found  wealth for myself, All my labours -- they find not against me  iniquity that [is] sin.' 
28O 012:009 And I -- Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I  turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed  time. 
28O 012:010 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied  vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes. 
28O 012:011 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been,  In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are]  as heaps, on the furrows of a field. 
28O 012:012 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel  doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch. 
28O 012:013 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of  Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched. 
28O 012:014 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on  himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his  Lord! 
28O 013:001 When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up  in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth. 
28O 013:002 And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image  of their silver, By their own understanding -- idols, A work of  artizans -- all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers  among men, `The calves let them kiss.' 
28O 013:003 Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew,  rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor,  And as smoke out of a window. 
28O 013:004 And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a  God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour -- there is  none save Me. 
28O 013:005 I -- I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of  droughts. 
28O 013:006 According to their feedings they are satiated, They have  been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they  have forgotten Me, 
28O 013:007 And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look  out. 
28O 013:008 I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure  of their heart. 
28O 013:009 And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field  doth rend them. 
28O 013:010 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy  help, Where [is] thy king now -- And he doth save thee in all  thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, `Give to me  a king and heads?' 
28O 013:011 I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My  wrath. 
28O 013:012 Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his  sin, 
28O 013:013 Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not  wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of  sons. 
28O 013:014 From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I  redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy  destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes. 
28O 013:015 Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an  east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming  up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his  spring, It -- it spoileth a treasure -- every desirable vessel. 
28O 013:016 Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled  against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are  dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up! 
28O 014:001 Turn back, O Israel, unto Jehovah thy God, For thou hast  stumbled by thine iniquity. 
28O 014:002 Take with you words, and turn to Jehovah, Say ye unto Him:  `Take away all iniquity, and give good, And we do render the  fruit of our lips. 
28O 014:003 Asshur doth not save us, on a horse we ride not, Nor do we  say any more, Our God, to the work of our hands, For in Thee  find mercy doth the fatherless.' 
28O 014:004 I heal their backsliding, I love them freely, For turned  back hath Mine anger from him. 
28O 014:005 I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he  striketh forth his roots as Lebanon. 
28O 014:006 Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And  he hath fragrance as Lebanon. 
28O 014:007 Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive [as]  corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial [is] as wine of  Lebanon. 
28O 014:008 O Ephraim, what to Me any more with idols? I -- I  afflicted, and I cause him to sing: `I [am] as a green  fir-tree,' From Me is thy fruit found. 
28O 014:009 Who [is] wise, and doth understand these? Prudent, and  knoweth them? For upright are the ways of Jehovah, And the  righteous go on in them, And the transgressors stumble therein! 
29O 001:001 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Joel, son of Pethuel: 
29O 001:002 Hear this, ye aged ones, And give ear, all ye inhabitants of  the land, Hath this been in your days? Or in the days of your  fathers? 
29O 001:003 Concerning it to your sons talk ye, And your sons to their  sons, And their sons to another generation. 
29O 001:004 What is left of the palmer-worm, eaten hath the locust, And  what is left of the locust, Eaten hath the cankerworm, And what  is left of the cankerworm, Eaten hath the caterpillar. 
29O 001:005 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep, And howl all drinking wine,  because of the juice, For it hath been cut off from your mouth. 
29O 001:006 For a nation hath come up on my land, Strong, and there is  no number, Its teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, And it hath the  jaw-teeth of a lioness. 
29O 001:007 It hath made my vine become a desolation, And my fig-tree  become a chip, It hath made it thoroughly bare, and hath cast  down, Made white have been its branches. 
29O 001:008 Wail, as a virgin girdeth with sackcloth, For the husband of  her youth. 
29O 001:009 Cut off hath been present and libation from the house of  Jehovah, Mourned have the priests, ministrants of Jehovah. 
29O 001:010 Spoiled is the field, mourned hath the ground, For spoiled  is the corn, Dried up hath been new wine, languish doth oil. 
29O 001:011 Be ashamed, ye husbandmen, Howl, vine-dressers, for wheat  and for barley, For perished hath the harvest of the field. 
29O 001:012 The vine hath been dried up, And the fig-tree doth  languish, Pomegranate, also palm, and apple-tree, All trees of  the field have withered, For dried up hath been joy from the  sons of men. 
29O 001:013 Gird, and lament, ye priests, Howl, ye ministrants of the  altar, Come in, lodge in sackcloth, ministrants of my God, For  withheld from the house of your God hath been present and  libation. 
29O 001:014 Sanctify a fast, proclaim a restraint, Gather the elders --  all the inhabitants of the land, [Into] the house of Jehovah  your God, 
29O 001:015 And cry unto Jehovah, `Alas for the day! For near [is] a  day of Jehovah, And as destruction from the mighty it cometh. 
29O 001:016 Is not before our eyes food cut off? From the house of our  God joy and rejoicing? 
29O 001:017 Rotted have scattered things under their clods, Desolated  have been storehouses, Broken down have been granaries, For  withered hath the corn. 
29O 001:018 How have cattle sighed! Perplexed have been droves of oxen,  For there is no pasture for them, Also droves of sheep have  been desolated. 
29O 001:019 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I do call, For fire hath consumed  comely places of a wilderness, And a flame hath set on fire all  trees of the field. 
29O 001:020 Also the cattle of the field long for Thee, For dried up  have been streams of water, And fire hath consumed comely  places of a wilderness!' 
29O 002:001 Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, And shout ye in My holy hill,  Tremble do all inhabitants of the earth, For coming is the day  of Jehovah, for [it is] near! 
29O 002:002 A day of darkness and thick darkness, A day of cloud and  thick darkness, As darkness spread on the mountains, A people  numerous and mighty, Like it there hath not been from of old,  And after it there is not again -- till the years of generation  and generation. 
29O 002:003 Before it consumed hath fire, And after it burn doth a  flame, As the garden of Eden [is] the land before it, And after  it a wilderness -- a desolation! And also an escape there hath  not been to it, 
29O 002:004 As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, And as  horsemen, so they run. 
29O 002:005 As the noise of chariots, on the tops of the mountains they  skip, As the noise of a flame of fire devouring stubble, As a  mighty people set in array for battle. 
29O 002:006 From its face pained are peoples, All faces have gathered  paleness. 
29O 002:007 As mighty ones they run, As men of war they go up a wall,  And each in his own ways they do go, And they embarrass not  their paths. 
29O 002:008 And each his brother they press not, Each in his way they go  on, If by the missile they fall, they are not cut off. 
29O 002:009 In the city they run to and fro, On the wall they run, Into  houses they go up by the windows, They go in as a thief. 
29O 002:010 At their face trembled hath the earth, Shaken have the  heavens, Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered  up their shining. 
29O 002:011 And Jehovah hath given forth His voice before His force,  For very great [is] His camp, For mighty [is] the doer of His  word, For great [is] the day of Jehovah -- very fearful, And  who doth bear it? 
29O 002:012 And also now -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Turn ye back  unto Me with all your heart, And with fasting, and with  weeping, And with lamentation. 
29O 002:013 And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn back  unto Jehovah your God, For gracious and merciful [is] He, Slow  to anger, and abundant in kindness, And He hath repented  concerning the evil. 
29O 002:014 Who knoweth -- He doth turn back, Yea -- He hath repented,  And He hath left behind Him a blessing, A present and libation  of Jehovah your God? 
29O 002:015 Blow ye a trumpet in Zion, Sanctify a fast -- proclaim a  restraint. 
29O 002:016 Gather the people, sanctify an assembly, Assemble the aged,  Gather infants and sucklings of the breasts, Go out let a  bridegroom from his inner chamber, And a bride out of her  closet. 
29O 002:017 Between the porch and the altar weep let the priests,  ministrants of Jehovah, And let them say: `Have pity, O  Jehovah, on Thy people, And give not Thy inheritance to  reproach, To the ruling over them of nations, Why do they say  among peoples, Where [is] their God?' 
29O 002:018 And let Jehovah be zealous for His land, And have pity on  His people. 
29O 002:019 Let Jehovah answer and say to His people, `Lo, I am sending  to you the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And ye have  been satisfied with it, And I make you no more a reproach among  nations, 
29O 002:020 And the northern I put far off from you, And have driven  him unto a land dry and desolate, With his face unto the  eastern sea, And his rear unto the western sea, And come up  hath his stink, And come up doth his stench, For he hath  exerted himself to work. 
29O 002:021 Do not fear, O land! joy and rejoice, For Jehovah hath  exerted Himself to work. 
29O 002:022 Do not fear, O cattle of the field! For sprung forth have  pastures of a wilderness, For the tree hath borne its fruit,  Fig-tree and vine have given their strength! 
29O 002:023 And ye sons of Zion, joy and rejoice, In Jehovah your God,  For He hath given to you the Teacher for righteousness, And  causeth to come down to you a shower, Sprinkling and gathered  -- in the beginning. 
29O 002:024 And full have been the floors [with] pure corn, And  overflown have the presses [with] new wine and oil. 
29O 002:025 And I have recompensed to you the years That consume did  the locust, the cankerworm, And the caterpillar, and the  palmer-worm, My great force that I did send against you. 
29O 002:026 And ye have eaten, eating and being satisfied, And have  praised the name of Jehovah your God, Who hath dealt with you  wonderfully, And not ashamed are My people to the age. 
29O 002:027 And ye have known that in the midst of Israel [am] I, And I  [am] Jehovah your God, and there is none else, And not ashamed  are My people to the age. 
29O 002:028 And it hath come to pass afterwards, I do pour out My  Spirit on all flesh, And prophesied have your sons and your  daughters, Your old men do dream dreams, Your young men do see  visions. 
29O 002:029 And also on the men-servants, and on the maid-servants, In  those days I do pour out My Spirit. 
29O 002:030 And I have given wonders in the heavens, and in the earth,  Blood and fire, and columns of smoke. 
29O 002:031 The sun is turned to darkness, and the moon to blood,  Before the coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the  fearful. 
29O 002:032 And it hath come to pass, Every one who calleth in the name  of Jehovah is delivered, For in mount Zion and in Jerusalem  there is an escape, As Jehovah hath said, And among the remnants  whom Jehovah is calling! 
29O 003:001 For lo, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back  [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 
29O 003:002 Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go  down unto the valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been judged  with them there, Concerning My people and Mine inheritance --  Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they  have apportioned. 
29O 003:003 And for My people they do cast a lot, And they give the  young man for an harlot, And the young woman have sold for  wine, That they may drink. 
29O 003:004 And also, what [are] ye to Me, O Tyre and Zidon, And all  circuits of Philistia? Recompence are ye rendering unto Me? And  if ye are giving recompence to Me, Swiftly, hastily, I turn  back your recompence on your head. 
29O 003:005 In that My silver and My gold ye took, And My desirable  things that are good, Ye have brought in to your temples. 
29O 003:006 And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, Ye have sold to  the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border. 
29O 003:007 Lo, I am stirring them up out of the place Whither ye have  sold them, And I have turned back your recompence on your head, 
29O 003:008 And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of  the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Shabeans, Unto a  nation far off, for Jehovah hath spoken. 
29O 003:009 Proclaim ye this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the  mighty ones, Come nigh, come up, let all the men of war. 
29O 003:010 Beat your ploughshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to  javelins, Let the weak say, `I [am] mighty.' 
29O 003:011 Haste, and come in, all ye nations round, And be gathered  together, Thither cause to come down, O Jehovah, Thy mighty  ones. 
29O 003:012 Wake and come up let the nations unto the valley of  Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around. 
29O 003:013 Send ye forth a sickle, For ripened hath harvest, Come in,  come down, for filled hath been the press, Overflowed hath  wine-presses, For great [is] their wickedness. 
29O 003:014 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the valley of decision, For  near [is] the day of Jehovah in the valley of decision. 
29O 003:015 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up  their shining. 
29O 003:016 And Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from Jerusalem giveth  forth His voice, And shaken have the heavens and earth, And  Jehovah [is] a refuge to his people, And a stronghold to sons  of Israel. 
29O 003:017 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, Dwelling in  Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem hath been holy, And  strangers do not pass over into it again. 
29O 003:018 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Drop down do the  mountains juice, And the hills do flow [with] milk, And all  streams of Judah do go [with] water, And a fountain from the  house of Jehovah goeth forth, And hath watered the valley of  Shittim. 
29O 003:019 Egypt a desolation becometh, And Edom a desolation, a  wilderness, becometh, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose  innocent blood they shed in their land. 
29O 003:020 And Judah to the age doth dwell, And Jerusalem to  generation and generation. 
29O 003:021 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not  declare innocent, And Jehovah is dwelling in Zion!  
30O 001:001 Words of Amos -- who hath been among herdsmen of Tekoa --  that he hath seen concerning Israel, in the days of Uzziah king  of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of  Israel, two years before the shaking; 
30O 001:002 and he saith: Jehovah from Zion doth roar, And from  Jerusalem giveth forth His voice, And mourned have pastures of  the shepherds, And withered hath the top of Carmel! 
30O 001:003 And thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus,  And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their threshing  Gilead with sharp-pointed irons, 
30O 001:004 And I have sent a fire against the house of Hazael, And it  hath consumed the palaces of Ben-Hadad. 
30O 001:005 And I have broken the bar of Damascus, And cut off the  inhabitant from Bikat-Aven, And a holder of a sceptre from  Beth-Eden, And removed have been the people of Aram to Kir,  said Jehovah. 
30O 001:006 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, And for  four, I do not reverse it, Because of their removing a complete  captivity, To deliver up to Edom, 
30O 001:007 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Gaza, And it hath  consumed her palaces; 
30O 001:008 And I have cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And a holder  of a sceptre from Ashkelon, And have turned back My hand  against Ekron, And perished have the remnant of the  Philistines, Said the Lord Jehovah. 
30O 001:009 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, And for  four, I do not reverse it, Because of their delivering up a  complete captivity to Edom, And they remembered not the  brotherly covenant, 
30O 001:010 And I have sent a fire against the wall of Tyre, And it  hath consumed her palaces. 
30O 001:011 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And  for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a  sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear  perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath -- he hath kept it  for ever, 
30O 001:012 And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed  palaces of Bozrah. 
30O 001:013 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of  Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their  ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their  border, 
30O 001:014 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And  it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle,  With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane, 
30O 001:015 And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads  together, said Jehovah! 
30O 002:001 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for  four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of  the king of Edom to lime, 
30O 002:002 And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed  the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With  shouting, with voice of a trumpet. 
30O 002:003 And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads  I slay with him, said Jehovah. 
30O 002:004 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, And  for four, I do not reserve it, Because of their loathing the  law of Jehovah, And His statutes they have not kept, And their  lies do cause them to err, After which their fathers did walk, 
30O 002:005 And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed  palaces of Jerusalem. 
30O 002:006 Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, And  for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their selling for  silver the righteous, And the needy for a pair of sandals. 
30O 002:007 Who are panting for the dust of the earth on the head of the  poor, And the way of the humble they turn aside, And a man and  his father go unto the damsel, So as to pollute My holy name. 
30O 002:008 And on pledged garments they stretch themselves near every  altar, And the wine of fined ones they drink [in] the house of  their gods. 
30O 002:009 And I -- I have destroyed the Amorite from before them,  Whose height [is] as the height of cedars, And strong he [is]  as the oaks, And I destroy his fruit from above, And his roots  from beneath. 
30O 002:010 And I -- I have brought you up from the land of Egypt, And  cause you to go in a wilderness forty years, To possess the  land of the Amorite. 
30O 002:011 And I raise of your sons for prophets, And of your choice  ones for Nazarites, Is not this true, O sons of Israel? An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 002:012 And ye cause the Nazarites to drink wine, And on the  prophets ye have laid a charge, Saying, `Do not prophecy!' 
30O 002:013 Lo, I am pressing you under, As the full cart doth press  for itself a sheaf. 
30O 002:014 And perished hath refuge from the swift, And the strong  strengtheneth not his power, And the mighty delivereth not his  soul. 
30O 002:015 And the handler of the bow standeth not, And the swift with  his feet delivereth not [himself], And the rider of the horse  delivereth not his soul. 
30O 002:016 And the courageous of heart among the mighty, Naked doth  flee in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah! 
30O 003:001 Hear ye this word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning you, O  sons of Israel, concerning all the family that I brought up  from the land of Egypt, saying: 
30O 003:002 Only you I have known of all families of the land, Therefore  I charge on you all your iniquities. 
30O 003:003 Do two walk together if they have not met? 
30O 003:004 Roar doth a lion in a forest and prey he hath none? Give out  doth a young lion his voice from his habitation, If he hath not  caught? 
30O 003:005 Doth a bird fall into a snare of the earth, And there is no  gin for it? Doth a snare go up from the ground, And prey it  captureth not? 
30O 003:006 Is a trumpet blown in a city, And do people not tremble? Is  there affliction in a city, And Jehovah hath not done [it]? 
30O 003:007 For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed  His counsel unto His servants the prophets. 
30O 003:008 A lion hath roared -- who doth not fear? The Lord Jehovah  hath spoken -- who doth not prophesy? 
30O 003:009 Sound ye unto palaces in Ashdod, And to palaces in the land  of Egypt, and say: Be ye gathered on mountains of Samaria, And  see many troubles within her, And oppressed ones in her midst. 
30O 003:010 And they have not known to act straightforwardly, An  affirmation of Jehovah, Who are treasuring up violence and  spoil in their palaces. 
30O 003:011 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: An adversary -- and  surrounding the land, And he hath brought down from thee thy  strength, And spoiled have been thy palaces. 
30O 003:012 Thus said Jehovah: As the shepherd delivereth from the  lion's mouth Two legs, or a piece of an ear, So delivered are  the sons of Israel, Who are sitting in Samaria on the corner of  a bed, And in Damascus [on that of] a couch. 
30O 003:013 Hear ye and testify to the house of Jacob, An affirmation  of the Lord Jehovah, God of Hosts. 
30O 003:014 For in the day of My charging the transgressions of Israel  on him, I have laid a charge on the altars of Beth-El, And cut  off have been the horns of the altar, And they have fallen to  the earth. 
30O 003:015 And I have smitten the winter-house with the summer-house,  And perished have houses of ivory, And consumed have been many  houses, An affirmation of Jehovah! 
30O 004:001 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, Who [are] in the mountain  of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the  needy, Who are saying to their lords: `Bring in, and we do  drink.' 
30O 004:002 Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by His holiness, That lo, days  are coming upon you, And he hath taken you away with hooks, And  your posterity with fish-hooks. 
30O 004:003 And [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that]  over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 004:004 Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply  transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices,  Every third year your tithes. 
30O 004:005 And perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim  willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of  Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah. 
30O 004:006 And I also -- I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all  your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And ye have  not turned back unto Me, an affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 004:007 And I also -- I have withheld from you the rain. While yet  three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And  on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on,  And the portion on which it raineth not withereth. 
30O 004:008 And wandered have two or three cities, Unto the same city to  drink water, And they are not satisfied, And ye have not turned  back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 004:009 I have smitten you with blasting and with mildew, The  abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your  figs, and of your olives, Eat doth the palmer-worm, And ye have  not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 004:010 I have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I  have slain by sword your choice ones, With your captive horses,  And I cause the stink of your camps to come up -- even into  your nostrils, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 004:011 I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of  Sodom and Gomorrah, And ye are as a brand delivered from a  burning, And ye have not turned back unto Me, An affirmation of  Jehovah. 
30O 004:012 Therefore, thus I do to thee, O Israel, at last, Because  this I do to thee, Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. 
30O 004:013 For, lo, the former of mountains, and creator of wind, And  the declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn  obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, Jehovah,  God of Hosts, [is] His name! 
30O 005:001 Hear this word that I am bearing to you, A lamentation, O  house of Israel: 
30O 005:002 `Fallen, not again to rise, hath the virgin of Israel, Left  on her land -- she hath no raiser up.' 
30O 005:003 For thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city that is going out a  thousand, Doth leave an hundred, And that which is going out an  hundred, Doth leave ten to the house of Israel. 
30O 005:004 For thus said Jehovah to the house of Israel: Seek ye Me,  and live, 
30O 005:005 And seek not Beth-El, and Gilgal enter not, And Beer-Sheba  pass not through, For Gilgal doth utterly remove, And Beth-El  doth become vanity. 
30O 005:006 Seek ye Jehovah, and live, Lest He prosper as fire [against]  the house of Joseph, And it hath consumed, And there is no  quencher for Beth-El. 
30O 005:007 Ye who are turning to wormwood judgment, And righteousness  to the earth have put down, 
30O 005:008 The maker of Kimah and Kesil, And the turner to morning of  death-shade, And day [as] night He hath made dark, Who is  calling to the waters of the sea, And poureth them on the face  of the earth, Jehovah [is] His name; 
30O 005:009 Who is brightening up the spoiled against the strong, And  the spoiled against a fortress cometh. 
30O 005:010 They have hated a reprover in the gate, And a plain speaker  they abominate. 
30O 005:011 Therefore, because of your trampling on the poor, And the  tribute of corn ye take from him, Houses of hewn work ye have  built, And ye do not dwell in them, Desirable vineyards ye  have planted, And ye do not drink their wine. 
30O 005:012 For I have known -- many [are] your transgressions, And  mighty your sins, Adversaries of the righteous, taking ransoms,  And the needy in the gate ye turned aside. 
30O 005:013 Therefore is the wise at that time silent, For an evil  time it [is]. 
30O 005:014 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live, And it is so;  Jehovah, God of Hosts, [is] with you, as ye said. 
30O 005:015 Hate evil, and love good, And set up judgment in the gate,  It may be Jehovah, God of Hosts, doth pity the remnant of  Joseph. 
30O 005:016 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, the Lord, In  all broad places [is] lamentation, And in all out-places they  say, `Alas, alas,' And called the husbandman to mourning, And  to lamentation the skilful of wailing. 
30O 005:017 And in all vineyards [is] lamentation, For I pass into thy  midst, said Jehovah. 
30O 005:018 Ho, ye who are desiring the day of Jehovah, Why [is] this  to you -- the day of Jehovah? It is darkness, and not light, 
30O 005:019 As [when] one fleeth from the face of the lion, And the  bear hath met him, And he hath come in to the house, And hath  leant his hand on the wall, And the serpent hath bitten him. 
30O 005:020 Is not the day of Jehovah darkness and not light, Even  thick darkness that hath no brightness? 
30O 005:021 I have hated -- I have loathed your festivals, And I am not  refreshed by your restraints. 
30O 005:022 For though ye cause burnt-offerings and your presents to  ascend to Me, I am not pleased, And the peace-offering of your  fatlings I behold not. 
30O 005:023 Turn aside from Me the noise of thy songs, Yea, the praise  of thy psaltery I hear not. 
30O 005:024 And roll on as waters doth judgment, And righteousness as a  perennial stream. 
30O 005:025 Sacrifices and offering did ye bring nigh to Me, In a  wilderness forty years, O house of Israel? 
30O 005:026 And ye bare Succoth your king, and Chiun your images, The  star of your god, that ye made for yourselves. 
30O 005:027 And I removed you beyond Damascus, Said Jehovah, God of  Hosts [is] His name. 
30O 006:001 Wo [to] those secure in Zion, And those confident in the  mount of Samaria, The marked of the chief of the nations, And  come to them have the house of Israel. 
30O 006:002 Pass ye over [to] Calneh and see, And go thence [to] Hamath  the great, And go down [to] Gath of the Philistines, Are [they]  better than these kingdoms? Greater [is] their border than your  border? 
30O 006:003 Who are putting away the day of evil, And ye bring nigh the  seat of violence, 
30O 006:004 Who are lying down on beds of ivory, And are spread out on  their couches, And are eating lambs from the flock, And calves  from the midst of the stall, 
30O 006:005 Who are taking part according to the psaltery, Like David  they invented for themselves instruments of music; 
30O 006:006 Who are drinking with bowls of wine, And [with] chief  perfumes anoint [themselves], And have not been pained for the  breach of Joseph. 
30O 006:007 Therefore now they remove at the head of the captives, And  turned aside is the mourning-feast of stretched-out ones. 
30O 006:008 Sworn hath the Lord Jehovah by Himself, An affirmation of  Jehovah, God of Hosts: I am abominating the excellency of  Jacob, And his high places I have hated, And I have delivered  up the city and its fulness. 
30O 006:009 And if there are left ten persons in one house, It hath come  to pass -- that they have died. 
30O 006:010 And lifted him up hath his loved one, even his burner, To  bring forth the bones from the house, And he said to him who  [is] in the sides of the house, `Is there yet with thee?' And  he said, `None,' then he said, `Hush! Save to make mention of  the name of Jehovah.' 
30O 006:011 For lo, Jehovah is commanding, And He hath smitten the  great house [with] breaches, And the little house [with]  clefts. 
30O 006:012 Do horses run on a rock? Doth one plough [it] with oxen?  For ye have turned to gall judgment, And the fruit of  righteousness to wormwood. 
30O 006:013 O ye who are rejoicing at nothing, Who are saying, `Have we  not by our strength taken to ourselves horns?' 
30O 006:014 Surely, lo, I am raising against you a nation, O house of  Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, God of Hosts, And they have  oppressed you from the coming in to Hamath, Unto the stream of  the desert. 
30O 007:001 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and lo, He is forming  locusts at the beginning of the ascending of the latter growth,  and lo, the latter growth [is] after the mowings of the king; 
30O 007:002 and it hath come to pass, when it hath finished to consume  the herb of the land, that I say: `Lord Jehovah, forgive, I  pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he [is] small?' 
30O 007:003 Jehovah hath repented of this, `It shall not be,' said  Jehovah. 
30O 007:004 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and lo, the Lord  Jehovah is calling to contend by fire, and it consumeth the  great deep, yea, it hath consumed the portion, and I say: 
30O 007:005 `Lord Jehovah, cease, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise --  for he [is] small?' 
30O 007:006 Jehovah hath repented of this, `It also shall not be,' said  the Lord Jehovah. 
30O 007:007 Thus hath He shewed me, and lo, the Lord is standing by a  wall [made according to] a plumb-line, and in His hand a  plumb-line; 
30O 007:008 and Jehovah saith unto me, `What art thou seeing, Amos?' And  I say, `A plumb-line;' and the Lord saith: `Lo, I am setting a  plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I do not add any  more to pass over to it. 
30O 007:009 And desolated have been high places of Isaac, And  sanctuaries of Israel are wasted, And I have risen against the  house of Jeroboam with a sword.' 
30O 007:010 And Amaziah priest of Beth-El sendeth unto 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, 
30O 007:011 for thus said Amos: By sword die doth Jeroboam, And Israel  certainly removeth from off its land.' 
30O 007:012 And Amaziah saith unto Amos, `Seer, go flee for thee unto  the land of Judah, and eat there bread, and there thou dost  prophesy; 
30O 007:013 and [at] Beth-El do not add to prophesy any more, for it  [is] the king's sanctuary, and it [is] the royal house.' 
30O 007:014 And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, `I [am] no  prophet, nor a prophet's son [am] I, but a herdsman I [am], and  a cultivator of sycamores, 
30O 007:015 and Jehovah taketh me from after the flock, and Jehovah  saith unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel. 
30O 007:016 And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not  prophesy against Israel, nor drop [any thing] against the house  of Isaac, 
30O 007:017 therefore thus said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go  a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And  thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land  diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.' 
30O 008:001 Thus hath the Lord Jehovah shewed me, and, lo, a basket of  summer-fruit. 
30O 008:002 And He saith, `What art thou seeing, Amos?' and I say, `A  basket of summer-fruit.' And Jehovah saith unto me: `The end  hath come unto My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass  over to it. 
30O 008:003 And howled have songstresses of a palace in that day, An  affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Many [are] the carcases, into  any place throw -- hush! 
30O 008:004 Hear this, ye who are swallowing up the needy, To cause to  cease the poor of the land, 
30O 008:005 Saying, When doth the new moon pass, And we sell ground  corn? And the sabbath, and we open out pure corn? To make  little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use  perversely balances of deceit. 
30O 008:006 To purchase with money the poor, And the needy for a pair of  sandals, Yea, the refuse of the pure corn we sell. 
30O 008:007 Sworn hath Jehovah by the excellency of Jacob: `I forget not  for ever any of their works. 
30O 008:008 For this doth not the land tremble, And mourned hath every  dweller in it? And come up as a flood hath all of it. And it  hath been cast out, and hath sunk, Like the flood of Egypt. 
30O 008:009 And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of the  Lord Jehovah, I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And  caused darkness on the land in a day of light, 
30O 008:010 And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your  songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all  loins, And on every head -- baldness, And made it as a mourning  [of] an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness. 
30O 008:011 Lo, days are coming, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,  And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread,  nor a thirst of water But of hearing the words of Jehovah. 
30O 008:012 And they have wandered from sea unto sea, And from north  even unto east, They go to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah,  And they do not find. 
30O 008:013 In that day faint do the fair virgins, And the young men,  with thirst. 
30O 008:014 Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And have said, Live  doth thy god, O Dan, And, Live doth the way of Beer-Sheba, And  they have fallen -- and rise not again!' 
30O 009:001 I have seen the Lord standing by the altar, and He saith:  `Smite the knob, and the thresholds shake, And cut them off by  the head -- all of them, And their posterity with a sword I do  slay, Not flee to them doth the fleer, Nor escape to them doth  a fugitive. 
30O 009:002 If they dig through into sheol, From thence doth My hand  take them, And if they go up the heavens, From thence I cause  them to come down. 
30O 009:003 And if they be hid in the top of Carmel, From thence I  search out, and have taken them, And if they be hid from Mine  eyes in the bottom of the sea, From thence I command the  serpent, And it hath bitten them. 
30O 009:004 And if they go into captivity before their enemies, From  thence I command the sword, And it hath slain them, And I have  set Mine eye on them for evil, And not for good. 
30O 009:005 And [it is] the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Who is striking  against the land, and it melteth, And mourned have all the  inhabitants in it, And come up as a flood hath all of it, And  it hath sunk -- like the flood of Egypt. 
30O 009:006 Who is building in the heavens His upper chambers; As to His  troop, Upon earth He hath founded it, Who is calling for the  waters of the sea, And poureth them out on the face of the  land, Jehovah [is] His name. 
30O 009:007 As sons of Cushim are ye not to Me? O sons of Israel -- an  affirmation of Jehovah. Israel did I not bring up out of the  land of Egypt? And the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from  Kir? 
30O 009:008 Lo, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful  kingdom, And I have destroyed it from off the face of the  ground, Only, I destroy not utterly the house of Jacob, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
30O 009:009 For lo, I am commanding, And I have shaken among all the  nations the house of Israel, As [one] doth shake with a sieve,  And there falleth not a grain [to] the earth. 
30O 009:010 By sword die do all sinners of My people, Who are saying,  `Not overtake, or go before, For our sakes, doth evil.' 
30O 009:011 In that day I raise the tabernacle of David, that is  fallen, And I have repaired their breaches, And its ruins I do  raise up, And I have built it up as in days of old. 
30O 009:012 So that they possess the remnant of Edom, And all the  nations on whom My name is called, An affirmation of Jehovah --  doer of this. 
30O 009:013 Lo, days are coming -- an affirmation of Jehovah, And come  nigh hath the ploughman to the reaper, And the treader of  grapes to the scatterer of seed, And the mountains have dropt  juice, And all the hills do melt. 
30O 009:014 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people  Israel, And they have built desolate cities, and inhabited, And  have planted vineyards, and drunk their wine, And made gardens,  and eaten their fruit. 
30O 009:015 And I have planted them on their own ground, And they are  not plucked up any more from off their own ground, That I have  given to them, said Jehovah thy God!  
31O 001:001 Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Edom, A report we have heard  from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations was sent, `Rise,  yea, let us rise against her for battle.' 
31O 001:002 Lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised [art]  thou exceedingly. 
31O 001:003 The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, O dweller in  clifts of a rock, (A high place [is] his habitation, He is  saying in his heart, `Who doth bring me down [to] earth?') 
31O 001:004 If thou dost go up high as an eagle, And if between stars  thou dost set thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
31O 001:005 If thieves have come in to thee, If spoilers of the night,  How hast thou been cut off! Do they not steal their  sufficiency? If gatherers have come in to thee, Do they not  leave gleanings? 
31O 001:006 How hath Esau been searched out! Flowed out have his hidden  things, 
31O 001:007 Unto the border sent thee have all thine allies, Forgotten  thee, prevailed over thee, have thy friends, Thy bread they  make a snare under thee, There is no understanding in him! 
31O 001:008 Is it not in that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah, That I  have destroyed the wise out of Edom, And understanding out of  the mount of Esau? 
31O 001:009 And broken down have been thy mighty ones, O Teman, So that  every one of the mount of Esau is cut off. 
31O 001:010 For slaughter, for violence [to] thy brother Jacob, Cover  thee doth shame, And thou hast been cut off -- to the age. 
31O 001:011 In the day of thy standing over-against, In the day of  strangers taking captive his force, And foreigners have entered  his gates, And for Jerusalem have cast a lot, Even thou [art]  as one of them! 
31O 001:012 And -- thou dost not look on the day of thy brother, On the  day of his alienation, Nor dost thou rejoice over sons of  Judah, In the day of their destruction, Nor make great thy  mouth in a day of distress. 
31O 001:013 Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their  calamity, Nor look, even thou, on its misfortune in a day of  its calamity, Nor send forth against its force in a day of its  calamity, 
31O 001:014 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, Nor deliver  up its remnant in a day of distress. 
31O 001:015 For near [is] the day of Jehovah, on all the nations, As  thou hast done, it is done to thee, Thy deed doth turn back on  thine own head. 
31O 001:016 For -- as ye have drunk on My holy mount, Drink do all the  nations continually, And they have drunk and have swallowed,  And they have been as they have not been. 
31O 001:017 And in mount Zion there is an escape, And it hath been  holy, And the house of Jacob have possessed their possessions. 
31O 001:018 And the house of Jacob hath been a fire, And the house of  Joseph a flame, And the house of Esau for stubble, And they  have burned among them, And they have consumed them, And there  is not a remnant to the house of Esau, For Jehovah hath spoken. 
31O 001:019 And they have possessed the south with the mount of Esau,  And the low country with the Philistines, And they have  possessed the field of Ephraim, And the field of Samaria, And  Benjamin with Gilead. 
31O 001:020 And the removed of this force of the sons of Israel, That  [is with] the Canaanites unto Zarephat, And the removed of  Jerusalem that [is] with the Sepharad, Possess the cities of  the south. 
31O 001:021 And gone up have saviours on mount Zion, To judge the mount  of Esau, And the kingdom hath been to Jehovah!' 
32O 001:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah son of Amittai,  saying: 
32O 001:002 `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim against  it that their wickedness hath come up before Me.' 
32O 001:003 And Jonah riseth to flee to Tarshish from the face of  Jehovah, and goeth down [to] Joppa, and findeth a ship going  [to] Tarshish, and he giveth its fare, and goeth down into it,  to go with them to Tarshish from the face of Jehovah. 
32O 001:004 And Jehovah hath cast a great wind on the sea, and there is  a great tempest in the sea, and the ship hath reckoned to be  broken; 
32O 001:005 and the mariners are afraid, and cry each unto his god, and  cast the goods that [are] in the ship into the sea, to make  [it] light of them; and Jonah hath gone down unto the sides of  the vessel, and he lieth down, and is fast asleep. 
32O 001:006 And the chief of the company draweth near to him, and saith  to him, `What -- to thee, O sleeper? rise, call unto thy God,  it may be God doth bethink himself of us, and we do not  perish.' 
32O 001:007 And they say each unto his neighbour, `Come, and we cast  lots, and we know on whose account this evil [is] on us.' And  they cast lots, and the lot falleth on Jonah. 
32O 001:008 And they say unto him, `Declare to us, we pray thee, on what  account this evil [is] on us? what [is] thine occupation, and  whence comest thou? what [is] thy country, seeing thou art not  of this people?' 
32O 001:009 And he saith unto them, `A Hebrew I [am], and Jehovah, God  of the heavens, I am reverencing, who made the sea and the dry  land.' 
32O 001:010 And the men fear a great fear, and say unto him, `What [is]  this thou hast done!' for the men have known that from the face  of Jehovah he is fleeing, for he hath told them. 
32O 001:011 And they say unto him, `What do we do to thee that the sea  may cease from us, for the sea is more and more tempestuous?' 
32O 001:012 And he saith unto them, `Lift me up, and cast me into the  sea, and the sea doth cease from you; for I know that on my  account this great tempest [is] upon you.' 
32O 001:013 And the men row to turn back unto the dry land, and are not  able, for the sea is more and more tempestuous against them. 
32O 001:014 And they cry unto Jehovah, and say, `We pray Thee, O  Jehovah, let us not, we pray Thee, perish for this man's life,  and do not lay on us innocent blood, for Thou, Jehovah, as Thou  hast pleased, Thou hast done.' 
32O 001:015 And they lift up Jonah, and cast him into the sea, and the  sea ceaseth from its raging; 
32O 001:016 and the men fear Jehovah -- a great fear, and sacrifice a  sacrifice to Jehovah, and vow vows. 
32O 001:017 And Jehovah appointeth a great fish to swallow up Jonah,  and Jonah is in the bowels of the fish three days and three  nights. 
32O 002:001 And Jonah prayeth unto Jehovah his God from the bowels of  the fish. 
32O 002:002 And he saith: I called, because of my distress, to Jehovah,  And He doth answer me, From the belly of sheol I have cried,  Thou hast heard my voice. 
32O 002:003 When Thou dost cast me [into] the deep, Into the heart of  the seas, Then the flood doth compass me, All Thy breakers and  Thy billows have passed over me. 
32O 002:004 And I -- I said: I have been cast out from before Thine  eyes, (Yet I add to look unto Thy holy temple!) 
32O 002:005 Compassed me have waters unto the soul, The deep doth  compass me, The weed is bound to my head. 
32O 002:006 To the cuttings of mountains I have come down, The earth,  her bars [are] behind me to the age. And Thou bringest up from  the pit my life, O Jehovah my God. 
32O 002:007 In the feebleness within me of my soul Jehovah I have  remembered, And come in unto Thee doth my prayer, Unto Thy holy  temple. 
32O 002:008 Those observing lying vanities their own mercy forsake. 
32O 002:009 And I -- with a voice of thanksgiving -- I sacrifice to  Thee, That which I have vowed I complete, Salvation [is] of  Jehovah. 
32O 002:010 And Jehovah saith to the fish, and it vomiteth out Jonah on  the dry land. 
32O 003:001 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jonah a second time,  saying, 
32O 003:002 `Rise, go unto Nineveh, the great city, and proclaim unto it  the proclamation that I am speaking unto thee;' 
32O 003:003 and Jonah riseth, and he goeth unto Nineveh, according to  the word of Jehovah. And Nineveh hath been a great city before  God, a journey of three days. 
32O 003:004 And Jonah beginneth to go in to the city a journey of one  day, and proclaimeth, and saith, `Yet forty days -- and Nineveh  is overturned.' 
32O 003:005 And the men of Nineveh believe in God, and proclaim a fast,  and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even unto their  least, 
32O 003:006 seeing the word doth come unto the king of Nineveh, and he  riseth from his throne, and removeth his honourable robe from  off him, and spreadeth out sackcloth, and sitteth on the ashes, 
32O 003:007 and he crieth and saith in Nineveh by a decree of the king  and his great ones, saying, `Man and beast, herd and flock --  let them not taste anything, let them not feed, even water let  them not drink; 
32O 003:008 and cover themselves [with] sackcloth let man and beast, and  let them call unto God mightily, and let them turn back each  from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their  hands. 
32O 003:009 Who knoweth? He doth turn back, and God hath repented, and  hath turned back from the heat of His anger, and we do not  perish.' 
32O 003:010 And God seeth their works, that they have turned back from  their evil way, and God repenteth of the evil that He spake of  doing to them, and he hath not done [it]. 
32O 004:001 And it is grievous unto Jonah -- a great evil -- and he is  displeased at it; 
32O 004:002 and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and he saith, `I pray Thee, O  Jehovah, is not this my word while I was in mine own land --  therefore I was beforehand to flee to Tarshish -- that I have  known that Thou [art] a God, gracious and merciful, slow to  anger, and abundant in kindness, and repenting of evil? 
32O 004:003 And now, O Jehovah, take, I pray Thee, my soul from me, for  better [is] my death than my life.' 
32O 004:004 And Jehovah saith, `Is doing good displeasing to thee?' 
32O 004:005 And Jonah goeth forth from the city, and sitteth on the east  of the city, and maketh to himself there a booth, and sitteth  under it in the shade, till that he seeth what is in the city. 
32O 004:006 And Jehovah God appointeth a gourd, and causeth it to come  up over Jonah, to be a shade over his head, to give deliverance  to him from his affliction, and Jonah rejoiceth because of the  gourd [with] great joy. 
32O 004:007 And God appointeth a worm at the going up of the dawn on the  morrow, and it smiteth the gourd, and it drieth up. 
32O 004:008 And it cometh to pass, about the rising of the sun, that God  appointeth a cutting east wind, and the sun smiteth on the head  of Jonah, and he wrappeth himself up, and asketh his soul to  die, and saith, `Better [is] my death than my life.' 
32O 004:009 And God saith unto Jonah: `Is doing good displeasing to  thee, because of the gourd?' and he saith, `To do good is  displeasing to me -- unto death.' 
32O 004:010 And Jehovah saith, `Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for  which thou didst not labour, neither didst thou nourish it,  which a son of a night was, and a son of a night perished, 
32O 004:011 and I -- have not I pity on Nineveh, the great city, in  which there are more than twelve myriads of human beings, who  have not known between their right hand and their left -- and  much cattle!' 
33O 001:001 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Micah the Morashite in  the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, that he  hath seen concerning Samaria and Jerusalem: 
33O 001:002 Hear, O peoples, all of them! Attend, O earth, and its  fulness, And the Lord Jehovah is against you for a witness, The  Lord from His holy temple. 
33O 001:003 For lo, Jehovah is going out from His place, And He hath  come down, And hath trodden on high places of earth. 
33O 001:004 Melted have been the mountains under Him, And the valleys do  rend themselves, As wax from the presence of fire, As waters  cast down by a slope. 
33O 001:005 For the transgression of Jacob [is] all this, And for the  sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of  Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what the high places of Judah? Is  it not Jerusalem? 
33O 001:006 And I have set Samaria for a heap of the field, For  plantations of a vineyard, And poured out into a valley her  stones, And her foundations I uncover. 
33O 001:007 And all her graven images are beaten down, And all her gifts  are burnt with fire, And all her idols I make a desolation,  For, from the hire of a harlot she gathered, and unto the hire  of a harlot they return. 
33O 001:008 For this I lament and howl, I go spoiled and naked, I make a  lamentation like dragons, And a mourning like daughters of an  ostrich. 
33O 001:009 For mortal [are] her wounds, For it hath come unto Judah, It  hath come to a gate of My people -- to Jerusalem. 
33O 001:010 In Gath tell ye not -- in Acco weep not, In Beth-Aphrah, in  dust roll thyself. 
33O 001:011 Pass over for thee, O inhabitant of Shaphir, Naked one of  shame. Not gone out hath the inhabitant of Zaanan, The  lamentation of Beth-Ezel doth take from you its standing. 
33O 001:012 For stayed for good hath the inhabitant of Maroth, For evil  hath come down from Jehovah to the gate of Jerusalem. 
33O 001:013 Bind the chariot to a swift beast, O inhabitant of Lachish,  The beginning of sin [is] she to the daughter of Zion, For in  thee have been found the transgressions of Israel. 
33O 001:014 Therefore thou givest presents to Moresheth-Gath, The  houses of Achzib become a lying thing to the kings of Israel. 
33O 001:015 Yet the possessor I do bring in to thee, O inhabitant of  Mareshah, To Adullam come in doth the honour of Israel. 
33O 001:016 Make bald and shave, for thy delightful sons, Enlarge thy  baldness as an eagle, For they have removed from thee! 
33O 002:001 Wo [to] those devising iniquity, And working evil on their  beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is  -- to God. 
33O 002:002 And they have desired fields, And they have taken violently,  And houses, and they have taken away, And have oppressed a man  and his house, Even a man and his inheritance. 
33O 002:003 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am devising against this  family evil, From which ye do not remove your necks, Nor walk  loftily, for a time of evil it [is]. 
33O 002:004 In that day doth [one] take up for you a simile, And he hath  wailed a wailing of wo, He hath said, We have been utterly  spoiled, The portion of my people He doth change, How doth He  move toward me! To the backslider our fields He apportioneth. 
33O 002:005 Therefore, thou hast no caster of a line by lot In the  assembly of Jehovah. 
33O 002:006 Ye do not prophesy -- they do prophesy, They do not prophesy  to these, It doth not remove shame. 
33O 002:007 Doth the house of Jacob say, `Hath the Spirit of Jehovah  been shortened? Are these His doings?' Do not My words benefit  the people that is walking uprightly? 
33O 002:008 And yesterday My people for an enemy doth raise himself up,  From the outer garment the honourable ornament ye strip off,  From the confident passers by, Ye who are turning back from  war. 
33O 002:009 The women of My people ye cast out from its delightful  house, From its sucklings ye take away My honour to the age. 
33O 002:010 Rise and go, for this [is] not the rest, Because of  uncleanness it doth corrupt, And corruption is powerful. 
33O 002:011 If one is going [with] the wind, And [with] falsehood hath  lied: `I prophesy to thee of wine, and of strong drink,' He  hath been the prophet of this people! 
33O 002:012 I do surely gather thee, O Jacob, all of thee, I surely  bring together the remnant of Israel, Together I do set it as  the flock of Bozrah, As a drove in the midst of its pasture, It  maketh a noise because of man. 
33O 002:013 Gone up hath the breaker before them, They have broken  through, Yea, they pass through the gate, Yea, they go out  through it, And pass on doth their king before them, And  Jehovah at their head! 
33O 003:001 And I say, `Hear, I pray you, heads of Jacob, And ye judges  of the house of Israel, Is it not for you to know the  judgment? 
33O 003:002 Ye who are hating good, and loving evil, Taking violently  their skin from off them, And their flesh from off their bones, 
33O 003:003 And who have eaten the flesh of My people, And their skin  from off them have stript, And their bones they have broken,  And they have spread [them] out as in a pot, And as flesh in  the midst of a caldron. 
33O 003:004 Then do they cry unto Jehovah, And He doth not answer them,  And hideth His face from them at that time, As they have made  evil their doings. 
33O 003:005 Thus said Jehovah concerning the prophets Who are causing My  people to err, Who are biting with their teeth, And have cried  `Peace,' And he who doth not give unto their mouth, They have  sanctified against him war. 
33O 003:006 Therefore a night ye have without vision, And darkness ye  have without divination, And gone in hath the sun on the  prophets, And black over them hath been the day. 
33O 003:007 And ashamed have been the seers, And confounded have been  the diviners, And covered their lip have all of them, For their  is no answer, O God. 
33O 003:008 And yet I have been full of power by the Spirit of Jehovah,  And of judgment, and of might, To declare to Jacob his  transgression, And to Israel his sin. 
33O 003:009 Hear this, I pray you, heads of the house of Jacob, And ye  judges of the house of Israel, Who are making judgment  abominable, And all uprightness do pervert. 
33O 003:010 Building up Zion with blood, And Jerusalem with iniquity. 
33O 003:011 Her heads for a bribe do judge, And her priests for hire do  teach, And her prophets for silver divine, And on Jehovah they  lean, saying, `Is not Jehovah in our midst? Evil doth not come  in upon us.' 
33O 003:012 Therefore, for your sake, Zion is ploughed a field, and  Jerusalem is heaps, And the mount of the house [is] for high  places of a forest! 
33O 004:001 And it hath come to pass, In the latter end of the days, The  mount of the house of Jehovah Is established above the top of  the mounts, And it hath been lifted up above the hills, And  flowed unto it have peoples. 
33O 004:002 And gone have many nations and said, Come and we go up to  the mount of Jehovah, And unto the house of the God of Jacob,  And He doth teach us of His ways, And we do walk in His paths,  For from Zion doth go forth a law, And a word of Jehovah from  Jerusalem. 
33O 004:003 And He hath judged between many peoples, And given a  decision to mighty nations afar off, They have beaten their  swords to ploughshares, And their spears to pruning-hooks,  Nation lifteth not up sword unto nation, Nor do they learn war  any more. 
33O 004:004 And they have sat each under his vine, And under his  fig-tree, And there is none troubling, For the mouth of Jehovah  of Hosts hath spoken. 
33O 004:005 For all the peoples do walk, Each in the name of its god --  and we, We do walk in the name of Jehovah our God, To the age  and for ever. 
33O 004:006 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah, I do gather the  halting one, And the driven away one I bring together, And she  whom I have afflicted. 
33O 004:007 And I have set the halting for a remnant, And the far-off  for a mighty nation, And reigned hath Jehovah over them in  mount Zion, From henceforth, and unto the age. 
33O 004:008 And thou, O tower of Eder, Fort of the daughter of Zion,  unto thee it cometh, Yea, come in hath the former rule, The  kingdom to the daughter of Jerusalem. 
33O 004:009 Now, why dost thou shout aloud? A king -- is there none in  thee? Hath thy counsellor perished, That taken hold of thee  hath pain as a travailing woman? 
33O 004:010 Be pained, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, As a  travailing woman, For now, thou goest forth from the city, And  thou hast dwelt in the field, And thou hast gone unto Babylon,  There thou art delivered, There redeem thee doth Jehovah from  the hand of thine enemies. 
33O 004:011 And now, gathered against thee have been many nations, who  are saying: `Let her be defiled, and our eyes look on Zion.' 
33O 004:012 They have not known the thoughts of Jehovah, Nor have they  understood His counsel, For He hath gathered them as a sheaf  [into] a threshing-floor. 
33O 004:013 Arise, and thresh, O daughter of Zion, For thy horn I make  iron, And thy hoofs I make brass, And thou hast beaten small  many peoples, And I have devoted to Jehovah their gain, And  their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth! 
33O 005:001 Now gather thyself together, O daughter of troops, A siege  he hath laid against us, With a rod they smite on the cheek the  judge of Israel. 
33O 005:002 And thou, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs  of Judah! From thee to Me he cometh forth -- to be ruler in  Israel, And his comings forth [are] of old, From the days of  antiquity. 
33O 005:003 Therefore he doth give them out till the time She who  bringeth forth hath brought forth, And the remnant of his  brethren return to the sons of Israel. 
33O 005:004 And he hath stood and delighted in the strength of Jehovah,  In the excellency of the name of Jehovah his God, And they have  remained, For now he is great unto the ends of earth. 
33O 005:005 And this [one] hath been peace, Asshur! when he doth come  into our land, And when he doth tread in our palaces, We have  raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man. 
33O 005:006 And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword,  And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And he hath delivered  from Asshur when he doth come into our land, And when he  treadeth in our borders. 
33O 005:007 And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many  peoples, As dew from Jehovah -- as showers on the herb, That  waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men. 
33O 005:008 Yea, the remnant of Jacob hath been among nations, In the  midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a  young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it hath passed  through, Hath both trodden down and hath torn, And there is no  deliverer. 
33O 005:009 High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine  enemies are cut off. 
33O 005:010 And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah, I have cut off thy horses from thy midst, And I have  destroyed thy chariots, 
33O 005:011 And I have cut off the cities of thy land, And I have  thrown down all thy fortresses, 
33O 005:012 And have cut off sorcerers out of thy hand, And observers  of clouds thou hast none. 
33O 005:013 And I have cut off thy graven images, And thy  standing-pillars out of thy midst, And thou dost not bow  thyself any more To the work of thy hands. 
33O 005:014 And I have plucked up thy shrines out of thy midst, And I  have destroyed thine enemies. 
33O 005:015 And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the  nations who have not hearkened! 
33O 006:001 Hear, I pray you, that which Jehovah is saying: `Rise --  strive thou with the mountains, And cause thou the hills to  hear thy voice.' 
33O 006:002 Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones --  foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to Jehovah, with His  people, And with Israel He doth reason. 
33O 006:003 O My people, what have I done to thee? And what -- have I  wearied thee? Testify against Me. 
33O 006:004 For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the  house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee  Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. 
33O 006:005 O My people, remember, I pray you, What counsel did Balak  king of Moab, What answer him did Balaam son of Beor, (From  Shittim unto Gilgal,) In order to know the righteous acts of  Jehovah.' 
33O 006:006 With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most  High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves --  sons of a year? 
33O 006:007 Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of  streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression?  The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul? 
33O 006:008 He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what  is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except -- to do judgment, and  love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God? 
33O 006:009 A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear  Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it. 
33O 006:010 Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of  wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah? 
33O 006:011 Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with  a bag of deceitful stones? 
33O 006:012 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its  inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is]  deceitful in their mouth. 
33O 006:013 And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate,  because of thy sins. 
33O 006:014 Thou -- thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy  pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver,  And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give. 
33O 006:015 Thou -- thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou -- thou  treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine  -- and thou drinkest not wine. 
33O 006:016 And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the  work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels,  For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a  hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear! 
33O 007:001 My wo [is] to me, for I have been As gatherings of  summer-fruit, As gleanings of harvest, There is no cluster to  eat, The first-ripe fruit desired hath my soul. 
33O 007:002 Perished hath the kind out of the land, And upright among  men -- there are none, All of them for blood lie in wait, Each  his brother they hunt [with] a net. 
33O 007:003 On the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well, The prince is  asking -- also the judge -- for recompence, And the great -- he  is speaking the mischief of his soul, And they wrap it up. 
33O 007:004 Their best one [is] as a brier, The upright one -- than a  thorn-hedge, The day of thy watchmen -- Thy visitation -- hath  come. Now is their perplexity. 
33O 007:005 Believe not in a friend, trust not in a leader, From her who  is lying in thy bosom keep the openings of thy mouth. 
33O 007:006 For a son is dishonouring a father, A daughter hath stood  against her mother, A daughter-in-law against her  mother-in-law, The enemies of each [are] the men of his house. 
33O 007:007 And I -- in Jehovah I do watch, I do wait for the God of my  salvation, Hear me doth my God. 
33O 007:008 Thou dost not rejoice over me, O mine enemy, When I have  fallen, I have risen, When I sit in darkness Jehovah is a light  to me. 
33O 007:009 The indignation of Jehovah I do bear, For I have sinned  against Him, Till that He doth plead my cause, And hath  executed my judgment, He doth bring me forth to the light, I  look on His righteousness. 
33O 007:010 And see doth mine enemy, And cover her doth shame, Who  saith unto me, `Where [is] Jehovah thy God?' Mine eyes do look  on her, Now she is for a treading-place, As mire of the  out-places. 
33O 007:011 The day to build thy walls! That day -- removed is the  limit. 
33O 007:012 That day -- even unto thee it doth come in, From Asshur and  the cities of the fortress, And from the fortress even unto the  river, And from sea to sea, and mount to mount. 
33O 007:013 And the land hath been for a desolation, Because of its  inhabitants, Because of the fruit of their doings. 
33O 007:014 Rule Thou Thy people with Thy rod, The flock of Thine  inheritance, Dwelling alone [in] a forest in the midst of  Carmel, They enjoy Bashan and Gilead as in days of old. 
33O 007:015 According to the days of thy coming forth out of the land  of Egypt, I do shew it wonderful things. 
33O 007:016 See do nations, and they are ashamed of all their might,  They lay a hand on the mouth, their ears are deaf. 
33O 007:017 They lick dust as a serpent, as fearful things of earth,  They tremble from their enclosures, Of Jehovah our God they are  afraid, Yea, they are afraid of Thee. 
33O 007:018 Who [is] a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing  by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath  not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth  [in] kindness. 
33O 007:019 He doth turn back, He pitieth us, He doth subdue our  iniquities, And Thou castest into the depths of the sea all  their sins. 
33O 007:020 Thou givest truth to Jacob, kindness to Abraham, That thou  hast sworn to our fathers, from the days of antiquity!  
34O 001:001 Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the  Elkoshite. 
34O 001:002 A God zealous and avenging [is] Jehovah, An avenger [is]  Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger [is] Jehovah on His  adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies. 
34O 001:003 Jehovah [is] slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah  doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest [is]  His way, And a cloud [is] the dust of His feet. 
34O 001:004 He is pushing against a sea, and drieth it up, Yea, all the  floods He hath made dry, Languishing [are] Bashan and Carmel,  Yea, the flower of Lebanon [is] languishing. 
34O 001:005 Mountains have shaken because of Him, And the hills have  been melted; And lifted up [is] the earth at His presence, And  the world and all dwelling in it. 
34O 001:006 Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in  the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire,  And the rocks have been broken by Him. 
34O 001:007 Good [is] Jehovah for a strong place in a day of distress.  And He knoweth those trusting in Him. 
34O 001:008 And with a flood passing over, An end He maketh of its  place, And His enemies doth darkness pursue. 
34O 001:009 What do we devise against Jehovah? An end He is making,  arise not twice doth distress. 
34O 001:010 For while princes [are] perplexed, And with their drink are  drunken, They have been consumed as stubble fully dried. 
34O 001:011 From thee hath come forth a deviser of evil Against Jehovah  -- a worthless counsellor. 
34O 001:012 Thus said Jehovah: Though complete, and thus many, Yet thus  they have been cut off, And he hath passed away. And I  afflicted thee, I afflict thee no more. 
34O 001:013 And now I break his rod from off thee, And thy bands I do  draw away. 
34O 001:014 And commanded concerning thee hath Jehovah, `No more of thy  name doth spread abroad, From the house of thy gods I cut off  graven and molten image, I appoint thy grave, for thou hast  been vile. 
34O 001:015 Lo, on the mountains the feet of one proclaiming tidings,  sounding peace! Celebrate, O Judah, thy festivals, complete thy  vows, For add no more to pass over into thee doth the  worthless, He hath been completely cut off! 
34O 002:001 Come up hath a scatterer to thy face, Keep the bulwark,  watch the way, Strengthen the loins, strengthen power mightily. 
34O 002:002 For turned back hath Jehovah to the excellency of Jacob, As  [to] the excellency of Israel, For emptied them out have  emptiers, And their branches they have marred. 
34O 002:003 The shield of his mighty ones is become red, Men of might  [are in] scarlet, With fiery torches [is] the chariot in a day  of his preparation, And the firs have been caused to tremble. 
34O 002:004 In out-places shine do the chariots, They go to and fro in  broad places, Their appearances [are] like torches, As  lightnings they run. 
34O 002:005 He doth remember his honourable ones, They stumble in their  goings, They hasten [to] its wall, and prepared is the  covering. 
34O 002:006 Gates of the rivers have been opened, And the palace is  dissolved. 
34O 002:007 And it is established -- she hath removed, She hath been  brought up, And her handmaids are leading as the voice of  doves, Tabering on their hearts. 
34O 002:008 And Nineveh [is] as a pool of waters, From of old it [is] --  and they are fleeing! `Stand ye, stand;' and none is turning! 
34O 002:009 Seize ye silver, seize ye gold, And there is no end to the  prepared things, [To] the abundance of all desirable vessels. 
34O 002:010 She is empty, yea, emptiness and waste, And the heart hath  melted, And the knees have smitten together, And great pain  [is] in all loins, And the faces of all of them have gathered  paleness. 
34O 002:011 Where [is] the habitation of lionesses? And a feeding-place  it [is] for young lions Where walked hath a lion, an old lion,  A lion's whelp, and there is none troubling. 
34O 002:012 The lion is tearing parts [for] his whelps, And is  strangling for his lionesses, And he doth fill [with] prey his  holes, And his habitations [with] rapine. 
34O 002:013 Lo, I [am] against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of  Hosts, And I have burned in smoke its chariot, And thy young  lions consume doth a sword, And I have cut off from the land  thy prey, And not heard any more is the voice of thy  messengers! 
34O 003:001 Wo [to] the city of blood, She is all with lies -- burglary  -- full, Prey doth not depart. 
34O 003:002 The sound of a whip, And the sound of the rattling of a  wheel, And of a prancing horse, and of a bounding chariot, Of a  horseman mounting. 
34O 003:003 And the flame of a sword, and the lightning of a spear, And  the abundance of the wounded, And the weight of carcases, Yea,  there is no end to the bodies, They stumble over their bodies. 
34O 003:004 Because of the abundance of the fornications of an harlot,  The goodness of the grace of the lady of witchcrafts, Who is  selling nations by her fornications, And families by her  witchcrafts. 
34O 003:005 Lo, I [am] against thee, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts,  And have removed thy skirts before thy face, And have shewed  nations thy nakedness, And kingdoms thy shame, 
34O 003:006 And I have cast upon thee abominations, And dishonoured  thee, and made thee as a sight. 
34O 003:007 And it hath come to pass, Each of thy beholders fleeth from  thee, And hath said: `Spoiled is Nineveh, Who doth bemoan for  her?' Whence do I seek comforters for thee? 
34O 003:008 Art thou better than No-Ammon, That is dwelling among  brooks? Waters she hath round about her, Whose bulwark [is] the  sea, waters her wall. 
34O 003:009 Cush her might, and Egypt, and there is no end. Put and  Lubim have been for thy help. 
34O 003:010 Even she doth become an exile, She hath gone into  captivity, Even her sucklings are dashed to pieces At the top  of all out-places, And for her honoured ones they cast a lot,  And all her great ones have been bound in fetters. 
34O 003:011 Even thou art drunken, thou art hidden, Even thou dost seek  a strong place, because of an enemy. 
34O 003:012 All thy fortresses [are] fig-trees with first-fruits, If  they are shaken, They have fallen into the mouth of the eater. 
34O 003:013 Lo, thy people [are] women in thy midst, To thine enemies  thoroughly opened Have been the gates of thy land, Consumed  hath fire thy bars. 
34O 003:014 Waters of a siege draw for thyself, Strengthen thy  fortresses, Enter into mire, and tread on clay, Make strong a  brick-kiln. 
34O 003:015 There consume thee doth a fire, Cut thee off doth a sword,  It doth consume thee as a cankerworm! Make thyself heavy as the  cankerworm, Make thyself heavy as the locust. 
34O 003:016 Multiply thy merchants above the stars of the heavens, The  cankerworm hath stripped off, and doth flee away. 
34O 003:017 Thy crowned ones [are] as a locust, And thy princes as  great grasshoppers, That encamp in hedges in a day of cold, The  sun hath risen, and it doth flee away, And not known is its  place where they are. 
34O 003:018 Slumbered have thy friends, king of Asshur, Rest do thine  honourable ones, Scattered have been thy people on the  mountains, And there is none gathering. 
34O 003:019 There is no weakening of thy destruction, Grievous [is] thy  smiting, All hearing thy fame have clapped the hand at thee,  For over whom did not thy wickedness pass continually? 
35O 001:001 The burden that Habakkuk the prophet hath seen: 
35O 001:002 Till when, O Jehovah, have I cried, And Thou dost not hear?  I cry unto Thee -- `Violence,' and Thou dost not save. 
35O 001:003 Why dost Thou shew me iniquity, And perversity dost cause to  behold? And spoiling and violence [are] before me, And there is  strife, and contention doth lift [itself] up, 
35O 001:004 Therefore doth law cease, And judgment doth not go forth for  ever, For the wicked is compassing the righteous, Therefore  wrong judgment goeth forth. 
35O 001:005 Look ye on nations, and behold and marvel greatly. For a  work He is working in your days, Ye do not believe though it is  declared. 
35O 001:006 For, lo, I am raising up the Chaldeans, The bitter and hasty  nation, That is going to the broad places of earth, To occupy  tabernacles not its own. 
35O 001:007 Terrible and fearful it [is], From itself its judgment and  its excellency go forth. 
35O 001:008 Swifter than leopards have been its horses, And sharper than  evening wolves, And increased have its horsemen, Even its  horsemen from afar come in, They fly as an eagle, hasting to  consume. 
35O 001:009 Wholly for violence it doth come in, Their faces swallowing  up the east wind, And it doth gather as the sand a captivity. 
35O 001:010 And at kings it doth scoff, And princes [are] a laughter to  it, At every fenced place it doth laugh, And it heapeth up  dust, and captureth it. 
35O 001:011 Then passed on hath the spirit, Yea, he doth transgress,  And doth ascribe this his power to his god. 
35O 001:012 Art not Thou of old, O Jehovah, my God, my Holy One? We do  not die, O Jehovah, For judgment Thou hast appointed it, And,  O Rock, for reproof Thou hast founded it. 
35O 001:013 Purer of eyes than to behold evil, To look on perverseness  Thou art not able, Why dost Thou behold the treacherous? Thou  keepest silent when the wicked Doth swallow the more righteous  than he, 
35O 001:014 And Thou makest man as fishes of the sea, As a creeping  thing -- none ruling over him. 
35O 001:015 Each of them with a hook he hath brought up, He doth catch  it in his net, and gathereth it in his drag, Therefore he doth  joy and rejoice. 
35O 001:016 Therefore he doth sacrifice to his net, And doth make  perfume to his drag, For by them [is] his portion fertile, and  his food fat. 
35O 001:017 Doth he therefore empty his net, And continually to slay  nations spare not? 
35O 002:001 On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and  I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do  reply to my reproof. 
35O 002:002 And Jehovah answereth me and saith: `Write a vision, and  explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it. 
35O 002:003 For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for  the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely  it cometh, it is not late. 
35O 002:004 Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him,  And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth. 
35O 002:005 And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is  haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol  his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth  gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto  itself all the peoples, 
35O 002:006 Do not these -- all of them -- against him a simile taken  up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Wo [to] him  who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he  multiplying to himself heavy pledges? 
35O 002:007 Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee  awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them? 
35O 002:008 Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all  the remnant of the peoples, Because of man's blood, and of  violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in  it. 
35O 002:009 Wo [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set  on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil, 
35O 002:010 Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut  off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul. 
35O 002:011 For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from  the wood answereth it. 
35O 002:012 Wo [to] him who is building a city by blood, And  establishing a city by iniquity. 
35O 002:013 Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are  fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary? 
35O 002:014 For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of  Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea. 
35O 002:015 Wo [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring  out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on  their nakedness. 
35O 002:016 Thou hast been filled -- shame without honour, Drink thou  also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup  of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on  thine honour. 
35O 002:017 For violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of  beasts doth affright them, Because of man's blood, and of  violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in  it. 
35O 002:018 What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath  graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That  trusted hath the former on his own formation -- to make dumb  idols? 
35O 002:019 Wo [to] him who is saying to wood, `Awake,' `Stir up,' to a  dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid -- gold and  silver, And there is no spirit in its midst. 
35O 002:020 And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him,  all the earth! 
35O 003:001 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning erring ones: 
35O 003:002 O Jehovah, I heard thy report, I have been afraid, O  Jehovah, Thy work! in midst of years revive it, In the midst of  years Thou makest known In anger Thou dost remember mercy. 
35O 003:003 God from Teman doth come, The Holy One from mount Paran.  Pause! Covered the heavens hath His majesty, And His praise  hath filled the earth. 
35O 003:004 And the brightness is as the light, He hath rays out of His  hand, And there -- the hiding of His strength. 
35O 003:005 Before Him goeth pestilence, And a burning flame goeth forth  at His feet. 
35O 003:006 He hath stood, and He measureth earth, He hath seen, and He  shaketh off nations, And scatter themselves do mountains of  antiquity, Bowed have the hills of old, The ways of old [are]  His. 
35O 003:007 Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do  curtains of the land of Midian. 
35O 003:008 Against rivers hath Jehovah been wroth? Against rivers [is]  Thine anger? Against the sea [is] Thy wrath? For Thou dost ride  on Thy horses -- Thy chariots of salvation? 
35O 003:009 Utterly naked Thou dost make Thy bow, Sworn are the tribes  -- saying, `Pause!' [With] rivers Thou dost cleave the earth. 
35O 003:010 Seen thee -- pained are mountains, An inundation of waters  hath passed over, Given forth hath the deep its voice, High its  hands it hath lifted up. 
35O 003:011 Sun -- moon -- hath stood -- a habitation, At the light  thine arrows go on, At the brightness, the glittering of thy  spear. 
35O 003:012 In indignation Thou dost tread earth, In anger Thou dost  thresh nations. 
35O 003:013 Thou hast gone forth for the salvation of Thy people, For  salvation with Thine anointed, Thou hast smitten the head of  the house of the wicked, Laying bare the foundation unto the  neck. Pause! 
35O 003:014 Thou hast pierced with his staves the head of his leaders,  They are tempestuous to scatter me, Their exultation [is] as to  consume the poor in secret. 
35O 003:015 Thou hast proceeded through the sea with Thy horses -- the  clay of many waters. 
35O 003:016 I have heard, and my belly trembleth, At the noise have my  lips quivered, Rottenness doth come into my bones, And in my  place I do tremble, That I rest for a day of distress, At the  coming up of the people, he overcometh it. 
35O 003:017 Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no  produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And  fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been  the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls. 
35O 003:018 Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my  salvation. 
35O 003:019 Jehovah the Lord [is] my strength, And He doth make my feet  like hinds, And on my high-places causeth me to tread. To the  overseer with my stringed instruments! 
36O 001:001 A word of Jehovah that hath been unto Zephaniah son of  Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezikiah, in the  days of Josiah son of Amoz, king of Judah: 
36O 001:002 I utterly consume all from off the face of the ground, An  affirmation of Jehovah. 
36O 001:003 I consume man and beast, I consume fowl of the heavens, and  fishes of the sea, And the stumbling-blocks -- the wicked, And  I have cut off man from the face of the ground, An affirmation  of Jehovah, 
36O 001:004 And stretched out My hand against Judah, And against all  inhabiting Jerusalem, And cut off from this place the remnant  of Baal, The name of the idolatrous priests, with the priests, 
36O 001:005 And those bowing themselves On the roofs to the host of the  heavens, And those bowing themselves, Swearing to Jehovah, and  swearing by Malcham, 
36O 001:006 And those removing from after Jehovah, And who have not  sought Jehovah, nor besought Him. 
36O 001:007 Hush! because of the Lord Jehovah, For near [is] a day of  Jehovah, For prepared hath Jehovah a sacrifice, He hath  sanctified His invited ones. 
36O 001:008 And it hath come to pass, In the day of the sacrifice of  Jehovah, That I have laid a charge on the heads, And on sons of  the king, And on all putting on strange clothing. 
36O 001:009 And I have laid a charge on every one Who is leaping over  the threshold in that day, Who are filling the house of their  masters [With] violence and deceit. 
36O 001:010 And there hath been in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah,  The noise of a cry from the fish-gate, And of a howling from  the Second, And of great destruction from the hills. 
36O 001:011 Howl, ye inhabitants of the hollow place, For cut off hath  been all the merchant people, Cut off have been all bearing  silver. 
36O 001:012 And it hath come to pass, at that time, I search Jerusalem  with lights, And I have laid a charge on the men Who are  hardened on their preserved things, Who are saying in their  heart: Jehovah doth no good, nor doth He evil. 
36O 001:013 And their wealth hath been for a spoil, And their houses  for desolation, And they have built houses, and do not inhabit,  And they have planted vineyards, And they do not drink their  wine. 
36O 001:014 Near [is] the great day of Jehovah, Near, and hasting  exceedingly, The noise of the day of Jehovah, Bitterly shriek  there doth a mighty one. 
36O 001:015 A day of wrath [is] that day, A day of adversity and  distress, A day of waste and desolation, A day of darkness and  gloominess, A day of cloud and thick darkness. 
36O 001:016 A day of trumpet and shouting against the fenced cities,  And against the high corners. 
36O 001:017 And I have sent distress to men, And they have walked as  the blind, For against Jehovah they have sinned, And poured out  is their blood as dust, And their flesh [is] as dung. 
36O 001:018 Even their silver, even their gold, Is not able to deliver  them in a day of the wrath of Jehovah, And in the fire of His  jealousy consumed is the whole land, For only a hastened end  doth He make Of all the inhabitants of the land! 
36O 002:001 Bend yourselves, yea, bend ye, O nation not desired, 
36O 002:002 Before the bringing forth of a statute, As chaff hath the  day passed on, While yet not come in upon you doth the heat of  the anger of Jehovah, While yet not come in upon you doth a  day of the anger of Jehovah, 
36O 002:003 Seek Jehovah, all ye humble of the land, Who His judgment  have done, Seek ye righteousness, seek humility, It may be ye  are hidden in a day of the anger of Jehovah. 
36O 002:004 For Gaza is forsaken, And Ashkelon [is] for a desolation,  Ashdod! at noon they do cast her forth, And Ekron is rooted up. 
36O 002:005 Ho! O inhabitants of the sea-coast, Nation of the  Cherethites, A word of Jehovah [is] against you, Canaan, land  of the Philistines, And I have destroyed thee without an  inhabitant. 
36O 002:006 And the sea-coast hath been habitations, Cottages [for]  shepherds, and folds [for] a flock. 
36O 002:007 And the coast hath been for the remnant of the house of  Judah, By them they have pleasure, In houses of Ashkelon at  even they lie down, For inspect them doth Jehovah their God,  And He hath turned back [to] their captivity. 
36O 002:008 I have heard the reproach of Moab, And the revilings of the  sons of Ammon, Wherewith they reproached My people, And magnify  [themselves] against their border. 
36O 002:009 Therefore, I live, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, God  of Israel, Surely, Moab is as Sodom, And the sons of Ammon as  Gomorrah, An overrunning of nettles and salt-pits, And a  desolation -- unto the age. A residue of My people do seize  them, And a remnant of My nation inherit them. 
36O 002:010 This [is] to them for their arrogancy, Because they have  reproached, And they magnify [themselves] against the people of  Jehovah of Hosts. 
36O 002:011 Fearful [is] Jehovah against them, For He made bare all  gods of the land, And bow themselves to Him, each from his  place, Do all islanders of the nations. 
36O 002:012 Also ye, O Cushim, pierced of My sword [are] they. 
36O 002:013 And He stretcheth His hand against the north, And doth  destroy Asshur, And he setteth Nineveh for a desolation, A dry  land like a wilderness. 
36O 002:014 And crouched in her midst have droves, Every beast of the  nation, Both pelican and hedge-hog in her knobs lodge, A voice  doth sing at the window, `Destruction [is] at the threshold,  For the cedar-work is exposed.' 
36O 002:015 This [is] the exulting city that is dwelling confidently,  That is saying in her heart, `I [am], and beside me there is  none,' How hath she been for a desolation, A crouching-place  for beasts, Every one passing by her doth hiss, He doth shake  his hand! 
36O 003:001 Wo [to] the rebellious and polluted, The oppressing city! 
36O 003:002 She hath not hearkened to the voice, She hath not accepted  instruction, In Jehovah she hath not trusted, Unto her God she  hath not drawn near. 
36O 003:003 Her heads in her midst [are] roaring lions, Her judges [are]  evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning. 
36O 003:004 Her prophets unstable -- men of treachery, Her priests have  polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law. 
36O 003:005 Jehovah [is] righteous in her midst, He doth not do  perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment he giveth to the  light, It hath not been lacking, And the perverse doth not know  shame. 
36O 003:006 I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief  ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing  by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without  inhabitant. 
36O 003:007 I have said: Only, ye do fear Me, Ye do accept instruction,  And her habitation is not cut off, All that I have appointed  for her, But they have risen early, They have corrupted all  their doings. 
36O 003:008 Therefore, wait for Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah, For the  day of My rising for prey, For My judgment [is] to gather  nations, To assemble kingdoms, To pour out on them Mine  indignation, All the heat of Mine anger, For by the fire of My  jealousy consumed is all the earth. 
36O 003:009 For then do I turn unto peoples a pure lip, To call all of  them by the name of Jehovah, To serve Him [with] one shoulder. 
36O 003:010 From beyond the rivers of Cush, my supplicants, The  daughter of My scattered ones, Do bring My present. 
36O 003:011 In that day thou art not ashamed because of any of thine  actions, Wherewith thou hast transgressed against Me, For then  do I turn aside from thy midst The exulting ones of thine  excellency, And thou dost add no more to be haughty, In My holy  mountain. 
36O 003:012 And I have left in thy midst a people humble and poor, And  they have trusted in the name of Jehovah. 
36O 003:013 The remnant of Israel do no perversity, nor speak lies, Nor  found in their mouth is a deceitful tongue, For they have  delight, and have lain down, And there is none troubling. 
36O 003:014 Cry aloud, O daughter of Zion, shout, O Israel, Rejoice and  exult with the whole heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 
36O 003:015 Jehovah hath turned aside thy judgments, He hath faced  thine enemy, The king of Israel, Jehovah, [is] in thy midst,  Thou seest evil no more. 
36O 003:016 In that day it is said to Jerusalem, `Fear not, O Zion, let  not thy hands be feeble. 
36O 003:017 Jehovah thy God [is] in thy midst, A mighty one doth save,  He rejoiceth over thee with joy, He doth work in His love, He  joyeth over thee with singing.' 
36O 003:018 Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered,  from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake reproach. 
36O 003:019 Lo, I am dealing with all afflicting thee at that time, And  I have saved the halting one, And the driven out ones I do  gather, And have set them for a praise and for a name, In all  the land of their shame. 
36O 003:020 At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My  assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise,  Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back [to] your  captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah!  
37O 001:001 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month,  in the first day of the month, hath a word of Jehovah been by  the hand of Haggai the prophet, unto Zerubbabel son of  Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and unto Joshua son of Josedech,  the high priest, saying: 
37O 001:002 Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: This people! -- they  have said, `The time hath not come, The time the house of  Jehovah [is] to be built.' 
37O 001:003 And there is a word of Jehovah by the hand of Haggai the  prophet, saying: 
37O 001:004 Is it time for you -- you! To dwell in your covered houses,  And this house to lie waste? 
37O 001:005 And now, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Set your heart to your  ways. 
37O 001:006 Ye have sown much, and brought in little, To eat, and not to  satiety, To drink, and not to drunkenness, To clothe, and none  hath heat, And he who is hiring himself out, Is hiring himself  for a bag pierced through. 
37O 001:007 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Set your heart to your ways. 
37O 001:008 Go up the mountain, and ye have brought in wood, And build  the house, and I am pleased with it. And I am honoured, said  Jehovah. 
37O 001:009 Looking for much, and lo, little, And ye brought [it] home,  and I blew on it, Wherefore? -- an affirmation of Jehovah of  Hosts, Because of My house that is waste, And ye are running --  each to his house, 
37O 001:010 Therefore, over you refrained have the heavens from dew,  And the land hath refrained its increase. 
37O 001:011 And I proclaim draught on the land, And on the mountains,  and on the corn, And on the new wine, and on the oil, And on  what the ground doth bring forth, And on man, and on beast, And  on all labour of the hands.' 
37O 001:012 And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of  Josedech, the high priest, and all the remnant of the people,  do hearken to the voice of Jehovah their God, and unto the  words of Haggai the prophet, as Jehovah their God had sent him,  and the people are afraid of the face of Jehovah. 
37O 001:013 And Haggai, messenger of Jehovah, in messages of Jehovah,  speaketh to the people, saying: `I [am] with you, an  affirmation of Jehovah.' 
37O 001:014 And Jehovah doth stir up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of  Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of  Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of  the people, and they come in, and do work in the house of  Jehovah of Hosts their God, 
37O 001:015 in the twenty and fourth day of the sixth month, in the  second year of Darius the king. 
37O 002:001 In the seventh [month], in the twenty and first of the  month, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand of Haggai the  prophet, saying: 
37O 002:002 `Speak, I pray thee, unto Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel,  governor of Judah, and unto Joshua, son of Josedech, the high  priest, and unto the remnant of the people, saying: 
37O 002:003 Who among you hath been left that saw this house in its  former honour? And what are ye seeing it now? Is it not,  compared with it, as nothing in your eyes? 
37O 002:004 And now, be strong, O Zerubbabel, An affirmation of Jehovah,  And be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest, And  be strong, all ye people of the land, An affirmation of  Jehovah, And do ye -- (for I [am] with you, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts) -- 
37O 002:005 The thing that I covenanted with you, In your coming forth  from Egypt, And My Spirit is remaining in your midst, fear not. 
37O 002:006 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet once more -- it [is] a  little, And I am shaking the heavens and the earth, And the  sea, and the dry land, 
37O 002:007 And I have shaken all the nations, And they have come [to]  the desire of all the nations, And I have filled this house  [with] honour, Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
37O 002:008 Mine [is] the silver, and Mine the gold, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts. 
37O 002:009 Greater is the honour of this latter house, Than of the  former, said Jehovah of Hosts, And in this place do I give  peace, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.' 
37O 002:010 On the twenty and fourth of the ninth [month], in the  second year of Darius, hath a word of Jehovah been by the hand  of Haggai the prophet, saying: 
37O 002:011 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: `Ask, I pray thee, the priests  [of] the law, saying: 
37O 002:012 Lo, one doth carry holy flesh in the skirt of his garment,  and he hath come with his skirt against the bread, or against  the pottage, or against the wine, or against the oil, or  against any food -- is it holy?' And the priests answer and  say, `No.' 
37O 002:013 And Haggai saith, `If the unclean of body doth come against  any of these, is it unclean?' And the priests answer and say,  `It is unclean.' 
37O 002:014 And Haggai answereth and saith, `So [is] this people, and  so [is] this nation before Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah --  and so [is] every work of their hands, and that which they  bring near there -- it is unclean. 
37O 002:015 And now, lay [it], I pray you, to your heart, From this  day, and onwards, Before the laying of stone to stone in the  temple of Jehovah. 
37O 002:016 From that time [one] hath come to a heap of twenty, And it  hath been ten, He hath come unto the wine-fat to draw out fifty  purahs, And it hath been twenty. 
37O 002:017 I have smitten you with blasting, And with mildew, and with  hail -- All the work of your hands, And there is none of you  with Me, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
37O 002:018 Set [it], I pray you, to your heart, from this day and  onwards, from the twenty and fourth day of the ninth [month],  even from the day that the temple of Jehovah hath been founded,  set [it] to your heart. 
37O 002:019 Is the seed yet in the barn? And hitherto the vine and the  fig, And the pomegranate, and the olive-tree, Have not borne --  from this day I bless.' 
37O 002:020 And there is a word of Jehovah a second time unto Haggai,  on the twenty and fourth of the month, saying: 
37O 002:021 `Speak unto Zerubbabel governor of Judah, saying: I am  shaking the heavens and the earth, 
37O 002:022 And have overturned the throne of kingdoms, And I have  destroyed the strength of kingdoms of the nations, And  overturned chariot and its charioteers, And come down have  horses and their riders, Each by the sword of his brother. 
37O 002:023 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I take  thee, Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, My servant -- an  affirmation of Jehovah, And have set thee as a signet, for on  thee I have fixed, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts! 
38O 001:001 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, hath a  word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of  Iddo, the prophet, saying: 
38O 001:002 `Jehovah was wroth against your fathers -- wrath! 
38O 001:003 And thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah of Hosts,  turn back unto Me, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, And I  turn back unto you, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
38O 001:004 Ye shall not be as your fathers, To whom the former prophets  called, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Turn back I pray  you, From your evil ways and from your evil doings, And they  did not hearken, Nor attend to Me -- an affirmation of Jehovah. 
38O 001:005 Your fathers -- where [are] they? And the prophets -- to the  age do they live? 
38O 001:006 Only, My words, and My statutes, That I commanded My  servants the prophets, Have they not overtaken your fathers,  And they turn back and say: As Jehovah of Hosts designed to do  to us, According to our ways, and according to our doings, So  He hath done to us?' 
38O 001:007 On the twenty and fourth day of the eleventh month, (it [is]  the month of Sebat,) in the second year of Darius, hath a word  of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, son of Berechiah, son of Iddo,  the prophet, saying: 
38O 001:008 I have seen by night, and lo, one riding on a red horse, and  he is standing between the myrtles that [are] in the shade, and  behind him [are] horses, red, bay, and white. 
38O 001:009 And I say, `What [are] these, my lord?' And the messenger  who is speaking with me saith unto me, `I -- I do shew thee  what these [are].' 
38O 001:010 And the one who is standing between the myrtles doth answer  and say, `These [are] they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk up  and down in the land.' 
38O 001:011 And they answer the messenger of Jehovah who is standing  between the myrtles, and say, `We have walked up and down in  the land, and lo, all the land is sitting still, and at rest.' 
38O 001:012 And the messenger of Jehovah answereth and saith, `Jehovah  of Hosts! till when dost Thou not pity Jerusalem, and the  cities of Judah, that Thou hast abhorred these seventy years?' 
38O 001:013 And Jehovah answereth the messenger, who is speaking with  me, good words, comfortable words. 
38O 001:014 And the messenger who is speaking with me, saith unto me,  `Call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous  for Jerusalem, and for Zion [with] great zeal. 
38O 001:015 And [with] great wrath I am wroth against the nations who  are at ease, For I was a little wroth, and they assisted -- for  evil. 
38O 001:016 Therefore, thus said Jehovah: I have turned to Jerusalem  with mercies, My house is built in it, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts, And a line is stretched over Jerusalem. 
38O 001:017 Again call, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, Again do my  cities overflow from good, And Jehovah hath again comforted  Zion, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem.' 
38O 001:018 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, four horns. 
38O 001:019 And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me, `What  [are] these?' And he saith unto me, `These [are] the horns that  have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.' 
38O 001:020 And Jehovah doth shew me four artizans. 
38O 001:021 And I say, `What [are] these coming in to do?' And He  speaketh, saying: `These [are] the horns that have scattered  Judah, so that no one hath lifted up his head, and these come  in to trouble them, to cast down the horns of the nations who  are lifting up a horn against the land of Judah -- to scatter  it.' 
38O 002:001 And I lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a man, and in his  hand a measuring line. 
38O 002:002 And I say, `Whither are thou going?' And he saith unto me,  `To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth, and  how much its length.' 
38O 002:003 And lo, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out,  and another messenger is going out to meet him, 
38O 002:004 and he saith unto him, `Run, speak unto this young man,  saying: Unwalled villages inhabit doth Jerusalem, From the  abundance of man and beast in her midst. 
38O 002:005 And I -- I am to her -- an affirmation of Jehovah, A wall of  fire round about, And for honour I am in her midst. 
38O 002:006 Ho, ho, and flee from the land of the north, An affirmation of  Jehovah, For, as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread  you abroad, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
38O 002:007 Ho, Zion, be delivered who art dwelling [with] the daughter  of Babylon. 
38O 002:008 For thus said Jehovah of Hosts: After honour He hath sent me  unto the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming  against you, Is coming against the daughter of His eye. 
38O 002:009 For lo, I am waving my hand against them, And they have been  a spoil to their servants. And ye have known that Jehovah of  Hosts hath sent me. 
38O 002:010 Singe, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For lo, I am  coming, and have dwelt in thy midst, An affirmation of Jehovah. 
38O 002:011 And joined have been many nations unto Jehovah in that day,  And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in thy  midst, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent me  unto thee. 
38O 002:012 And Jehovah hath inherited Judah, His portion on the holy  ground, And He hath fixed again on Jerusalem. 
38O 002:013 Hush, all flesh, because of Jehovah, For He hath been  roused up from His holy habitation!' 
38O 003:001 And he sheweth me Joshua the high priest standing before the  messenger of Jehovah, and the Adversary standing at his right  hand, to be an adversary to him. 
38O 003:002 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary: `Jehovah doth push  against thee, O Adversary, Yea, push against thee doth Jehovah,  Who is fixing on Jerusalem, Is not this a brand delivered from  fire?' 
38O 003:003 And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and is standing  before the messenger. 
38O 003:004 And he answereth and speaketh unto those standing before  him, saying: `Turn aside the filthy garments from off him.' And  he saith unto him, `See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass  away from off thee, so as to clothe thee with costly apparel.' 
38O 003:005 He also said, `Let them set a pure diadem on his head. And  they set the pure diadem on his head, and clothe him with  garments. And the messenger of Jehovah is standing, 
38O 003:006 and the messenger of Jehovah doth protest to Joshua, saying: 
38O 003:007 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: If in My ways thou dost walk,  And if My charge thou dost keep, Then also thou dost judge My  house, And also thou dost keep My courts, And I have given to  thee conductors among these standing by. 
38O 003:008 Hear, I pray thee, Joshua, the high priest, Thou and thy  companions sitting before thee, (For men of type [are] they,)  For lo, I am bringing in My servant -- a Shoot. 
38O 003:009 For lo, the stone that I put before Joshua, On one stone  [are] seven eyes, Lo, I am graving its graving, An affirmation  of Jehovah of Hosts, And I have removed the iniquity of that  land in one day. 
38O 003:010 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, Ye do  call, each unto his neighbour, Unto the place of the vine, And  unto the place of the fig-tree!' 
38O 004:001 And the messenger who is speaking with me doth turn back,  and stir me up as one who is stirred up out of his sleep, 
38O 004:002 and he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I  have looked, and lo, a candlestick of gold -- all of it, and  its bowl [is] on its top, and its seven lamps [are] upon it,  and twice seven pipes [are] to the lights that [are] on its  top, 
38O 004:003 and two olive-trees [are] by it, one on the right of the  bowl, and one on its left.' 
38O 004:004 And I answer and speak unto the messenger who is speaking  with me, saying, `What [are] these, my lord?' 
38O 004:005 And the messenger who is speaking with me answereth and  saith unto me, `Hast thou not known what these [are]?' And I  say, `No, my lord.' 
38O 004:006 And he answereth and speaketh unto me, saying: `This [is] a  word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying: Not by a force, nor by  power, But -- by My Spirit, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
38O 004:007 Who [art] thou, O great mountain Before Zerubbabel -- for a  plain! And he hath brought forth the top-stone, Cries of Grace,  grace -- [are] to it.' 
38O 004:008 And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying, 
38O 004:009 Hands of Zerubbabel did found this house, And his hands do  finish it, And thou hast known that Jehovah of Hosts Hath sent  me unto you. 
38O 004:010 For who trampled on the day of small things, They have  rejoiced, And seen the tin weight in the hand of Zerubbabel,  These seven [are] the eyes of Jehovah, They are going to and  fro in all the land.' 
38O 004:011 And I answer and say unto him, `What [are] these two  olive-trees, on the right of the candlestick, and on its left?' 
38O 004:012 And I answer a second time, and say unto him, `What [are]  the two branches of the olive trees that, by means of the two  golden pipes, are emptying out of themselves the oil?' 
38O 004:013 And he speaketh unto me, saying, `Hast thou not known what  these [are]?' And I say, `No, my lord.' 
38O 004:014 And he saith, `These [are] the two sons of the oil, who are  standing by the Lord of the whole earth.' 
38O 005:001 And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo, a  flying roll. 
38O 005:002 And he saith unto me, `What art thou seeing?' And I say, `I  am seeing a flying roll, its length twenty by the cubit, and  its breadth ten by the cubit.' 
38O 005:003 And he saith unto me, `This [is] the execration that is  going forth over the face of all the land, for every one who is  stealing, on the one side, according to it, hath been declared  innocent, and every one who hath sworn, on the other side,  according to it, hath been declared innocent. 
38O 005:004 `I have brought it out -- an affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts  -- and it hath come in unto the house of the thief, and unto  the house of him who hath sworn in My name to a falsehood, and  it hath remained in the midst of his house, and hath consumed  it, both its wood and its stones.' 
38O 005:005 And the messenger who is speaking with me goeth forth, and  saith unto me, `Lift up, I pray thee, thine eyes, and see what  [is] this that is coming forth?' 
38O 005:006 And I say, `What [is] it?' And he saith, `This -- the ephah  that is coming forth.' And he saith, `This [is] their aspect in  all the land. 
38O 005:007 And lo, a cake of lead lifted up; and this [is] a woman  sitting in the midst of the ephah.' 
38O 005:008 And he saith, `This [is] the wicked woman.' And he casteth  her unto the midst of the ephah, and casteth the weight of lead  on its mouth. 
38O 005:009 And I lift up mine eyes, and see, and lo, two women are  coming forth, and wind in their wings; and they have wings like  wings of the stork, and they lift up the ephah between the  earth and the heavens. 
38O 005:010 And I say unto the messenger who is speaking with me,  `Whither [are] they causing the ephah to go?' 
38O 005:011 And he saith unto me, `To build to it a house in the land  of Shinar.' And it hath been prepared and hath been placed  there on its base. 
38O 006:001 And I turn back, and lift up mine eyes, and look, and lo,  four chariots are coming forth from between two of the  mountains, and the mountains [are] mountains of brass. 
38O 006:002 In the first chariot [are] red horses, and in the second  chariot brown horses, 
38O 006:003 and in the third chariot white horses, and in the fourth  chariot strong grisled horses. 
38O 006:004 And I answer and say unto the messenger who is speaking with  me, `What [are] these, my lord?' 
38O 006:005 And the messenger answereth and saith unto me, `These [are]  four spirits of the heavens coming forth from presenting  themselves before the Lord of the whole earth. 
38O 006:006 The brown horses that [are] therein, are coming forth unto  the land of the north; and the white have come forth unto their  hinder part; and the grisled have come forth unto the land of  the south; 
38O 006:007 and the strong ones have come forth, and they seek to go to  walk up and down in the earth;' and he saith, `Go, walk up and  down in the earth;' and they walk up and down in the earth. 
38O 006:008 And he calleth me, and speaketh unto me, saying, `See, those  coming forth unto the land of the north have caused My Spirit  to rest in the land of the north.' 
38O 006:009 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 
38O 006:010 to take of the captivity (who came from Babylon) from  Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, `and thou hast come in  -- thou, in that day, yea, thou hast come into the house of  Josiah son of Zephaniah, 
38O 006:011 and thou hast taken silver and gold, and hast made a crown,  and hast placed on the head of Joshua son of Josedech, the high  priest, 
38O 006:012 and hast spoken unto him, saying: Thus spake Jehovah of  Hosts, saying: Lo, a man! A Shoot -- [is] his name, And from  his place he doth shoot up, And he hath built the temple of  Jehovah. 
38O 006:013 Yea, he doth build the temple of Jehovah, And he doth bear  away honour, And he hath sat and ruled on His throne, And hath  been a priest on His throne, And a counsel of peace is between  both. 
38O 006:014 And the crown is to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah,  and to Hen son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of  Jehovah. 
38O 006:015 And the far-off come in, and they have built in the temple  of Jehovah, and ye have known that Jehovah of Hosts hath sent  me unto you, yea, it hath come to pass, if ye do certainly  hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God.' 
38O 007:001 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Darius the king  hath a word of Jehovah been unto Zechariah, in the fourth of  the ninth month, in Chisleu. 
38O 007:002 And Beth-El sendeth Sherezer and Regem-Melech, and its men,  to appease the face of Jehovah, 
38O 007:003 speaking unto the priests who [are] at the house of Jehovah  of Hosts, and unto the prophets, saying, `Do I weep in the  fifth month -- being separated -- as I have done these so many  years?' 
38O 007:004 And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying: 
38O 007:005 `Speak unto all the people of the land, and unto the  priests, saying: 
38O 007:006 When ye fasted with mourning in the fifth and in the seventh  [months] -- even these seventy years -- did ye keep the fast  [to] Me -- Me? And when ye eat, and when ye drink, is it not ye  who are eating, and ye who are drinking? 
38O 007:007 `Are not [these] the words that Jehovah proclaimed by the  hand of the former prophets, in Jerusalem's being inhabited,  and [in] safety, and its cities round about it, and the south  and the plain -- abiding?' 
38O 007:008 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Zechariah, saying: 
38O 007:009 `Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge  ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another. 
38O 007:010 And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not  oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in  your heart. 
38O 007:011 And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory  shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing. 
38O 007:012 And their heart they have made adamant, Against hearing the  law, and the words, That Jehovah of Hosts sent by His Spirit,  By the hand of the former prophets, And their is great wrath  from Jehovah of Hosts. 
38O 007:013 And it cometh to pass, as He called, And they have not  hearkened, So do they call, and I do not hearken, Said Jehovah  of Hosts. 
38O 007:014 And I toss them on all the nations, That they have not  known, The land hath been desolate behind them, Of any passing  by and turning back, And they set a desirable land for a  desolation! 
38O 008:001 And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts, saying: 
38O 008:002 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion  with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her. 
38O 008:003 Thus said Jehovah: I have turned back unto Zion, And I have  dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem hath been called  `The city of truth,' And the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, `The  holy mountain.' 
38O 008:004 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again dwell do old men and old  women, In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his  hand, Because of abundance of days. 
38O 008:005 And broad places of the city are full of boys and girls,  Playing in its broad places. 
38O 008:006 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the  eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in Mine  eyes it is wonderful, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 
38O 008:007 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am saving My people from  the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of  the sun, 
38O 008:008 And I have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of  Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to  them for God, In truth and in righteousness. 
38O 008:009 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who  are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the  prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath  been founded, the temple [is] to be built. 
38O 008:010 For, before those days there hath been no hiring of man,  Yea, a hiring of beasts there is none; And to him who is going  out, And to him who is coming in, There is no peace because of  the adversary, And I send all men -- each against his  neighbour. 
38O 008:011 And now, not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant  of this people, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 
38O 008:012 Because of the sowing of peace, The vine doth give her  fruit, And the earth doth give her increase, And the heavens do  give their dew, And I have caused the remnant of this people To  inherit all these. 
38O 008:013 And it hath come to pass, As ye have been a reviling among  nations, O house of Judah, and house of Israel, So I save you,  and ye have been a blessing, Do not fear, let your hands be  strong. 
38O 008:014 For, thus said Jehovah of Hosts, As I did purpose to do  evil to you, When your fathers made Me wroth, Said Jehovah of  Hosts, and I did not repent, 
38O 008:015 So I have turned back, I have purposed, in these days, To  do good with Jerusalem, And with the house of Judah -- fear  not! 
38O 008:016 These [are] the things that ye do: Speak ye truth each with  his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge in your gates, 
38O 008:017 And each the evil of his neighbour ye do not devise in your  heart, And a false oath ye do not love, For all these [are]  things that I have hated, An affirmation of Jehovah.' 
38O 008:018 And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts unto me, saying: 
38O 008:019 `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth, and  the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the  fast of the tenth [months], are to the house of Judah for joy  and for rejoicing, and for pleasant appointed seasons, and the  truth and the peace they have loved. 
38O 008:020 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Yet come do peoples, and  inhabitants of many cities, 
38O 008:021 Yea, gone have inhabitants of one To another, saying: We go  diligently, To appease the face of Jehovah, To seek Jehovah of  Hosts -- I go, even I. 
38O 008:022 Yea, come in have many peoples, and mighty nations, To seek  Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, And to appease the face of  Jehovah. 
38O 008:023 Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: In those days take hold do ten  men of all languages of the nations, Yea, they have taken hold  on the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying: We go with you, for we  heard God [is] with you! 
38O 009:001 The burden of a word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach,  and Demmeseh -- his place of rest: (When to Jehovah [is] the  eye of man, And of all the tribes of Israel.) 
38O 009:002 And also Hamath doth border thereon, Tyre and Zidon, for --  very wise! 
38O 009:003 And Tyre doth build a bulwark to herself, And doth heap  silver as dust, And gold as mire of out-places. 
38O 009:004 Lo, the Lord doth dispossess her, And He hath smitten in the  sea her force, And she with fire is consumed. 
38O 009:005 See doth Ashkelon and fear, Also Gaza, and she is  exceedingly pained, Also Ekron -- for her expectation dried up,  And perished hath a king from Gaza, And Ashkelon doth not  remain, 
38O 009:006 And dwelt hath a foreigner in Ashdod, And I have cut off the  excellency of the Philistines. 
38O 009:007 And turned aside his blood from his mouth, His abominations  from between his teeth, And he hath remained, even he, to our  God, And he hath been as a leader in Judah, And Ekron as a  Jebusite. 
38O 009:008 And I have pitched for My house a camp, Because of the  passer through, and of the returner, And pass not through  against them again doth an exactor, For, now, I have seen with  My eyes. 
38O 009:009 Rejoice exceedingly, O daughter of Zion, Shout, O daughter  of Jerusalem, Lo, thy King doth come to thee, Righteous -- and  saved is He, Afflicted -- and riding on an ass, And on a colt  -- a son of she-asses. 
38O 009:010 And I have cut off the chariot from Ephraim, And the horse  from Jerusalem, Yea, cut off hath been the bow of battle, And  he hath spoken peace to nations, And his rule [is] from sea  unto sea, And from the river unto the ends of earth. 
38O 009:011 Also thou -- by the blood of thy covenant, I have sent thy  prisoners out of the pit, There is no water in it. 
38O 009:012 Turn back to a fenced place, Ye prisoners of the hope, Even  to-day a second announcer I restore to thee. 
38O 009:013 For I have trodden for Me Judah, A bow I have filled [with]  Ephraim, And I have stirred up thy sons, O Zion, Against thy  sons, O Javan, And I have set thee as the sword of a hero. 
38O 009:014 And Jehovah doth appear for them, And gone forth as  lightning hath His arrow, And the Lord Jehovah with a trumpet  bloweth, And He hath gone with whirlwinds of the south. 
38O 009:015 Jehovah of Hosts doth cover them over, And they consumed,  and subdued sling-stones, Yea, they have drunk, They have made  a noise as wine, And they have been full as a bowl, As corners  of an altar. 
38O 009:016 And saved them hath Jehovah their God In that day, as a  flock of His people, For stones of a crown are displaying  themselves over His ground. 
38O 009:017 For what His goodness! and what His beauty! Corn the young  men, And new wine the virgins -- make fruitful! 
38O 010:001 They asked of Jehovah rain in a time of latter rain,  Jehovah is making lightnings, And rain [in] showers He doth  give to them. To each -- the herb in the field. 
38O 010:002 Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners  have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak,  [With] vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed  as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd. 
38O 010:003 Against the shepherds did Mine anger burn, And against the  he-goats I lay a charge, For inspected hath Jehovah of Hosts  His flock, the house of Judah, And set them as His beauteous  horse in battle. 
38O 010:004 From him [is] a corner-stone, From him a nail, from him a  battle-bow, From him goeth forth every exactor together. 
38O 010:005 And they have been as heroes, Treading in mire of  out-places in battle, And they have fought, for Jehovah [is]  with them, And have put to shame riders of horses. 
38O 010:006 And I have made mighty the house of Judah, And the house of  Joseph I do save, And I have caused them to dwell, for I have  loved them, And they have been as [if] I had not cast them off,  For I [am] Jehovah their God, And I answer them. 
38O 010:007 And Ephraim hath been as a hero, And rejoiced hath their  heart as wine, And their sons see, and they have rejoiced,  Rejoice doth their heart in Jehovah. 
38O 010:008 I hist for them, and I gather them, For I have redeemed  them, And they have multiplied as they did multiply. 
38O 010:009 And I sow them among peoples, And in far-off places they  remember Me, And they have lived with their sons, And they have  turned back. 
38O 010:010 And I have brought them back from the land of Egypt, And  from Asshur I do gather them, And unto the land of Gilead and  Lebanon I do bring them in, And there is not found for them  [space]. 
38O 010:011 And He hath passed over through the sea, And hath pressed  and smitten billows in the sea, And dried up have been all  depths of a flood, And brought down hath been the excellency of  Asshur, And the rod of Egypt doth turn aside. 
38O 010:012 And I have made them mighty in Jehovah, And in His name  they walk up and down, An affirmation of Jehovah! 
38O 011:001 Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, And fire doth devour among thy  cedars. 
38O 011:002 Howl, O fir, for fallen hath the cedar, For their  honourable ones were destroyed, Howl, ye oaks of Bashan, For  come down hath the fenced forest, 
38O 011:003 A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For destroyed was  their robe of honour, A voice of the roaring of young lions!  For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan. 
38O 011:004 Thus said Jehovah my God: `Feed the flock of the slaughter, 
38O 011:005 Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their  sellers say, Blessed [is] Jehovah, And I am rich, And their  shepherds have no pity on them. 
38O 011:006 For I have pity no more on inhabitants of the land, An  affirmation of Jehovah, And lo, I am causing man to come forth,  Each into the hand of his neighbour, And into the hand of his  king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver  out of their hand.' 
38O 011:007 And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, ye afflicted  of the flock; and I take to me two staves, the one I have  called Pleasantness, and the other I have called Bands, and I  feed the flock. 
38O 011:008 And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul  is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me. 
38O 011:009 And I say, `I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the  cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat  the flesh of its neighbour.' 
38O 011:010 And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to  make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples: 
38O 011:011 and it is broken in that day, and know well do the  afflicted of the flock who are observing me, that it [is] a  word of Jehovah. 
38O 011:012 And I say unto them: `If good in your eyes, give my hire,  and if not, forbear;' and they weigh out my hire -- thirty  silverlings. 
38O 011:013 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Cast it unto the potter;' the  goodly price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the  thirty silverlings, and cast them [to] the house of Jehovah,  unto the potter. 
38O 011:014 And I cut asunder my second staff, Bands, to break the  unity between Judah and Israel. 
38O 011:015 And Jehovah saith unto me, `Again take to thee the  instrument of a foolish shepherd. 
38O 011:016 For lo, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut  off he doth not inspect, The shaken off he doth not seek, And  the broken he doth not heal, The standing he doth not sustain,  And the flesh of the fat he doth eat, And their hoofs he doth  break off. 
38O 011:017 Wo [to] the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A  sword [is] on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly  dried up, And his right eye is very dim!' 
38O 012:001 The burden of a word of Jehovah on Israel. An affirmation  of Jehovah, Stretching out heaven, and founding earth, And  forming the spirit of man in his midst. 
38O 012:002 Lo, I am making Jerusalem a cup of reeling To all the  peoples round about, And also against Judah it is, In the siege  against Jerusalem. 
38O 012:003 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I make Jerusalem a  burdensome stone to all the peoples, All loading it are  completely pressed down, And gathered against it have been all  nations of the earth. 
38O 012:004 In that day -- an affirmation of Jehovah, I do smite every  horse with astonishment, And its rider with madness, And on the  house of Judah I open My eyes, And every horse of the peoples I  smite with blindness. 
38O 012:005 And leaders of Judah have said in their heart, `Strength to  me [are] the inhabitants of Jerusalem, In Jehovah of Hosts  their God.' 
38O 012:006 In that day I make the leaders of Judah As a hearth of fire  among trees, And as a torch of fire in a sheaf, And they have  consumed -- on the right and on the left -- all the peoples  round about, And Jerusalem hath inhabited again her place in  Jerusalem. 
38O 012:007 And saved hath Jehovah the tents of Judah first, So that  become not great against Judah Doth the beauty of the house of  David, And the beauty of the inhabitant of Jerusalem. 
38O 012:008 In that day cover over doth Jehovah the inhabitant of  Jerusalem, And the stumbling among them hath been in that day  as David, And the house of David as God -- As a messenger of  Jehovah -- before them. 
38O 012:009 And it hath come to pass, in that day, I seek to destroy  all the nations Who are coming in against Jerusalem, 
38O 012:010 And I have poured on the house of David, And on the  inhabitant of Jerusalem, A spirit of grace and supplications,  And they have looked unto Me whom they pierced, And they have  mourned over it, Like a mourning over the only one, And they  have been in bitterness for it, Like a bitterness over the  first-born. 
38O 012:011 In that day, great is the mourning of Jerusalem, As the  mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon, 
38O 012:012 And mourned hath the land -- every family apart, The  family of the house of David apart, And their women apart; The  family of the house of Nathan apart, And their women apart; 
38O 012:013 The family of the house of Levi apart, And their women  apart; The family of Shimei apart, And their women apart, 
38O 012:014 All the families that are left, Every family apart, and  their women apart! 
38O 013:001 In that day there is a fountain opened To the house of  David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for  impurity. 
38O 013:002 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of  Jehovah of Hosts, I cut off the names of the idols from the  land, And they are not remembered any more, And also the  prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away  from the land. 
38O 013:003 And it hath been, when one prophesieth again, That said  unto him have his father and his mother, his parents, `Thou  dost not live, For falsehood thou hast spoken in the name of  Jehovah,' And pierced him through have his father and his  mother, his parents, in his prophesying. 
38O 013:004 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Ashamed are the  prophets, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they put  not on a hairy robe to deceive. 
38O 013:005 And [one] hath said, `I am not a prophet, A man, a tiller  of ground I am, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.' 
38O 013:006 And [one] hath said unto him, `What [are] these wounds in  thy hands?' And he hath said, `Because I was smitten [at] home  by my lovers.' 
38O 013:007 Sword, awake against My shepherd, And against a hero -- My  fellow, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. Smite the shepherd,  and scattered is the flock, And I have put back My hand on the  little ones. 
38O 013:008 And it hath come to pass, In all the land, an affirmation  of Jehovah, Two parts in it are cut off -- they expire, And the  third is left in it. 
38O 013:009 And I have brought the third into fire, And refined them  like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of  gold, It doth call in My name, and I answer it, I have said,  `My people it [is],' And it saith, `Jehovah [is] my God!' 
38O 014:001 Lo, a day hath come to Jehovah, And divided hath been thy  spoil in thy midst. 
38O 014:002 And I have gathered all the nations unto Jerusalem to  battle, And captured hath been the city, And spoiled have been  the houses, And the women are lain with, Gone forth hath half  the city in a removal, And the remnant of the people are not  cut off from the city. 
38O 014:003 And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against  those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of  conflict. 
38O 014:004 And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of  Olives, That [is] before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath  been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the  west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the  mount towards the north. And its half towards the south. 
38O 014:005 And ye have fled [to] the valley of My mountains, For join  doth the valley of the mountains to Azal, And ye have fled as  ye fled before the shaking, In the days of Uzziah king of  Judah, And come in hath Jehovah my God, All holy ones [are]  with Thee. 
38O 014:006 And it hath come to pass, in that day, The precious light  is not, it is dense darkness, 
38O 014:007 And there hath been one day, It is known to Jehovah, not  day nor night, And it hath been at evening-time -- there is  light. 
38O 014:008 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Go forth do living  waters from Jerusalem, Half of them unto the eastern sea, And  half of them unto the western sea, In summer and in winter it  is. 
38O 014:009 And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day  there is one Jehovah, and His name one. 
38O 014:010 Changed is all the land as a plain, From Gebo to Rimmon,  south of Jerusalem, And she hath been high, and hath dwelt in  her place, Even from the gate of Benjamin To the place of the  first gate, unto the front gate, And from the tower of  Hananeel, Unto the wine-vats of the king. 
38O 014:011 And they have dwelt in her, And destruction is no more,  And Jerusalem hath dwelt confidently. 
38O 014:012 And this is the plague with which Jehovah Doth plague all  the peoples who have warred against Jerusalem, He hath consumed  away its flesh, And it is standing on its feet, And its eyes  are consumed in their holes, And its tongue is consumed in  their mouth. 
38O 014:013 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A great destruction  [from] Jehovah is among them, And they have seized each the  hand of his neighbour, And gone up hath his hand against the  hand of his neighbour. 
38O 014:014 And also Judah is fought with in Jerusalem, And gathered  hath been the force of all the nations round about, Gold, and  silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 
38O 014:015 And so is the plague of the horse, of the mule, Of the  camel, and of the ass, And of all the cattle that are in these  camps, As this plague. 
38O 014:016 And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of  all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have  also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King,  Jehovah of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths. 
38O 014:017 And it hath come to pass, That he who doth not go up of  the families of the land unto Jerusalem, To bow himself to the  King, Jehovah of Hosts, Even on them there is no shower. 
38O 014:018 And if the family of Egypt go not up, nor come in, Then  not on them is the plague With which Jehovah doth plague the  nations That go not up to celebrate the feast of booths. 
38O 014:019 This is the punishment of the sin of Egypt, And the  punishment of the sin of all the nations, That go not up to  celebrate the feast of booths. 
38O 014:020 In that day there is on bells of the horse, `Holy to  Jehovah,' And the pots in the house of Jehovah Have been as  bowls before the altar. 
38O 014:021 And every pot in Jerusalem, and in Judah, Have been holy  to Jehovah of Hosts, And all those sacrificing have come in,  And have taken of them, and boiled in them, And there is no  merchant any more in the house of Jehovah of Hosts in that day!  
39O 001:001 The burden of a word of Jehovah unto Israel by the hand of  Malachi: 
39O 001:002 I have loved you, said Jehovah, And ye have said, `In what  hast Thou loved us?' 
39O 001:003 Is not Esau Jacob's brother? -- an affirmation of Jehovah,  And I love Jacob, and Esau I have hated, And I make his  mountains a desolation, And his inheritance for dragons of a  wilderness. 
39O 001:004 Because Edom saith, `We have been made poor, And we turn  back and we build the wastes,' Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: They  do build, and I do destroy, And [men] have called to them, `O  region of wickedness,' `O people whom Jehovah defied to the  age.' 
39O 001:005 And your eyes do see, and ye say, `Magnified is Jehovah  beyond the border of Israel, 
39O 001:006 A son honoureth a father, and a servant his master. And if I  [am] a father, where [is] Mine honour? And if I [am] a master,  where [is] My fear? Said Jehovah of Hosts to you, O priests,  despising My name! And ye have said: `In what have we despised  Thy name?' 
39O 001:007 Ye are bringing nigh on Mine altar polluted bread, And ye  have said: `In what have we polluted Thee?' In your saying:  `The table of Jehovah -- it [is] despicable,' 
39O 001:008 And when ye bring nigh the blind for sacrifice, `There is no  evil,' And when ye bring nigh the lame and sick, `There is no  evil;' Bring it near, I pray thee, to thy governor -- Doth he  accept thee? or doth he lift up thy face? Said Jehovah of  Hosts. 
39O 001:009 And now, appease, I pray thee, the face of God, And He doth  favour us; From your own hand hath this been, Doth He accept of  you appearances? Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 001:010 Who [is] even among you, And he shutteth the two-leaved  doors? Yea, ye do not kindle Mine altar for nought, I have no  pleasure in you, said Jehovah of Hosts, And a present I do not  accept of your hand. 
39O 001:011 For, from the rising of the sun to its going in, Great [is]  My name among nations, And in every place perfume is brought  nigh to My name, and a pure present, For great [is] My name  among nations, Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 001:012 And ye are polluting it in your saying, `The table of  Jehovah -- it is polluted, As to its fruit -- despicable is its  food.' 
39O 001:013 And ye have said, `Lo, what a weariness,' And ye have  puffed at it, said Jehovah of Hosts, And ye have brought in  plunder, And the lame and the sick, And ye have brought in the  present! Do I accept it from your hand? said Jehovah. 
39O 001:014 And cursed [is] a deceiver, who hath in his drove a male,  And is vowing, and is sacrificing a marred thing to the Lord,  For a great king [am] I, said Jehovah of Hosts, And My name  [is] revered among nations! 
39O 002:001 And now, to you [is] this charge, O priests, 
39O 002:002 If ye hearken not, and if ye lay [it] not to heart, To give  honour to My name, said Jehovah of Hosts, I have sent against  you the curse, And I have cursed your blessings, Yea, I have  also cursed it, Because ye are not laying [it] to heart. 
39O 002:003 Lo, I am pushing away before you the seed, And have  scattered dung before your faces, Dung of your festivals, And  it hath taken you away with it. 
39O 002:004 And ye have known that I have sent unto you this charge, For  My covenant being with Levi, Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 002:005 My covenant hath been with him of life and of peace, And I  make them to him a fear, and he doth fear Me, And because of My  name he hath been affrighted. 
39O 002:006 The law of truth hath been in his mouth, And perverseness  hath not been found in his lips, In peace and in uprightness he  walked with Me, And many he brought back from iniquity. 
39O 002:007 For the lips of a priest preserve knowledge, And law they do  seek from his mouth, For a messenger of Jehovah of Hosts he  [is]. 
39O 002:008 And ye, ye have turned from the way, Ye have caused many to  stumble in the law, Ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi,  Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 002:009 And I also, I have made you despised and low before all the  people, Because ye are not keeping My ways, And are accepting  persons in the law. 
39O 002:010 Have we not all one father? Hath not our God prepared us?  Wherefore do we deal treacherously, Each against his brother,  To pollute the covenant of our fathers? 
39O 002:011 Dealt treacherously hath Judah, And abomination hath been  done in Israel, and in Jerusalem, For polluted hath Judah the  holy thing of Jehovah, That He hath loved, and hath married the  daughter of a strange god. 
39O 002:012 Cut off doth Jehovah the man who doth it, Tempter and  tempted -- from the tents of Jacob, Even he who is bringing  nigh a present to Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 002:013 And this a second time ye do, Covering with tears the altar  of Jehovah, With weeping and groaning, Because there is no more  turning unto the present, Or receiving of a pleasing thing from  your hand. 
39O 002:014 And ye have said, `Wherefore?' Because Jehovah hath  testified between thee And the wife of thy youth, That thou  hast dealt treacherously against her, And she thy companion,  and thy covenant-wife. 
39O 002:015 And He did not make one [only], And He hath the remnant of  the Spirit. And what [is] the one [alone]! He is seeking a  godly seed. And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And  with the wife of thy youth, None doth deal treacherously. 
39O 002:016 For [I] hate sending away, said Jehovah, God of Israel, And  He [who] hath covered violence with his clothing, said Jehovah  of Hosts, And ye have been watchful over your spirit, And ye do  not deal treacherously. 
39O 002:017 Ye have wearied Jehovah with your words, And ye have said:  `In what have we wearied Him?' In your saying: `Every evil-doer  [is] good in the eyes of Jehovah, And in them He is  delighting,' Or, `Where [is] the God of judgment?' 
39O 003:001 Lo, I am sending My messenger, And he hath prepared a way  before Me, And suddenly come in unto his temple Doth the Lord  whom ye are seeking, Even the messenger of the covenant, Whom  ye are desiring, Lo, he is coming, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 003:002 And who is bearing the day of his coming? And who is  standing in his appearing? For he [is] as fire of a refiner,  And as soap of a fuller. 
39O 003:003 And he hath sat, a refiner and purifier of silver, And he  hath purified the sons of Levi, And hath refined them as gold  and as silver, And they have been to Jehovah bringing nigh a  present in righteousness. 
39O 003:004 And sweet to Jehovah hath been the present of Judah and  Jerusalem, As in days of old, and as in former years. 
39O 003:005 And I have drawn near to you for judgment, And I have been a  witness, Making haste against sorcerers, And against  adulterers, And against swearers to a falsehood, And against  oppressors of the hire of an hireling, Of a widow, and of a  fatherless one, And those turning aside a sojourner, And who  fear Me not, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 003:006 For I [am] Jehovah, I have not changed, And ye, the sons of  Jacob, Ye have not been consumed. 
39O 003:007 Even from the days of your fathers Ye have turned aside from  My statutes, And ye have not taken heed. Turn back unto Me, and  I turn back to you, Said Jehovah of Hosts. And ye have said,  `In what do we turn back?' 
39O 003:008 Doth man deceive God? but ye are deceiving Me, And ye have  said: `In what have we deceived Thee?' The tithe and the  heave-offering! 
39O 003:009 With a curse ye are cursed! And Me ye are deceiving -- this  nation -- all of it. 
39O 003:010 Bring in all the tithe unto the treasure-house, And there  is food in My house; When ye have tried Me, now, with this,  Said Jehovah of Hosts, Do not I open to you the windows of  heaven? Yea, I have emptied on you a blessing till there is no  space. 
39O 003:011 And I have pushed for you against the consumer, And He doth  not destroy to you the fruit of the ground, Nor miscarry to you  doth the vine in the field, Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 003:012 And declared you happy have all the nations, For ye are a  delightful land, said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 003:013 Hard against Me have been your words, Said Jehovah, and ye  have said: `What have we spoken against Thee?' 
39O 003:014 Ye have said, `A vain thing to serve God! And what gain  when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black,  Because of Jehovah of Hosts? 
39O 003:015 And now, we are declaring the proud happy, Yea, built up  have been those doing wickedness, Yea they have tempted God,  and escape.' 
39O 003:016 Then have those fearing Jehovah spoken one to another, And  Jehovah doth attend and hear, And written is a book of memorial  before Him Of those fearing Jehovah, And of those esteeming  His name. 
39O 003:017 And they have been to Me, said Jehovah of Hosts, In the day  that I am appointing -- a peculiar treasure, And I have had  pity on them, As one hath pity on his son who is serving him. 
39O 003:018 And ye have turned back and considered, Between the  righteous and the wicked, Between the servant of God and him  who is not His servant. 
39O 004:001 For, lo, the day hath come, burning as a furnace, And all  the proud, and every wicked doer, have been stubble, And burnt  them hath the day that came, Said Jehovah of Hosts, That there  is not left to them root or branch, 
39O 004:002 And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of  righteousness -- and healing in its wings, And ye have gone  forth, and have increased as calves of a stall. 
39O 004:003 And ye have trodden down the wicked, For they are ashes  under the soles of your feet, In the day that I am appointing,  Said Jehovah of Hosts. 
39O 004:004 Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, That I did command  him in Horeb, For all Israel -- statutes and judgments. 
39O 004:005 Lo, I am sending to you Elijah the prophet, Before the  coming of the day of Jehovah, The great and the fearful. 
39O 004:006 And he hath turned back the heart of fathers to sons, And  the heart of sons to their fathers, Before I come and have  utterly smitten the land!  
40N 001:001 A roll of the birth of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of  Abraham. 
40N 001:002 Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat  Judah and his brethren, 
40N 001:003 and Judah begat Pharez and Zarah of Tamar, and Pharez begat  Hezron, and Hezron begat Ram, 
40N 001:004 and Ram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and  Nahshon begat Salmon, 
40N 001:005 and Salmon begat Boaz of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed of Ruth,  and Obed begat Jesse, 
40N 001:006 and Jesse begat David the king. And David the king begat  Solomon, of her [who had been] Uriah's, 
40N 001:007 and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and  Abijah begat Asa, 
40N 001:008 and Asa begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and  Joram begat Uzziah, 
40N 001:009 and Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz  begat Hezekiah, 
40N 001:010 and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amon, and  Amon begat Josiah, 
40N 001:011 and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brethren, at the  Babylonian removal. 
40N 001:012 And after the Babylonian removal, Jeconiah begat Shealtiel,  and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel, 
40N 001:013 and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and  Eliakim begat Azor, 
40N 001:014 and Azor begat Sadok, and Sadok begat Achim, and Achim  begat Eliud, 
40N 001:015 and Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and  Matthan begat Jacob, 
40N 001:016 and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was  begotten Jesus, who is named Christ. 
40N 001:017 All the generations, therefore, from Abraham unto David  [are] fourteen generations, and from David unto the Babylonian  removal fourteen generations, and from the Babylonian removal  unto the Christ, fourteen generations. 
40N 001:018 And of Jesus Christ, the birth was thus: For his mother  Mary having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming  together she was found to have conceived from the Holy Spirit, 
40N 001:019 and Joseph her husband being righteous, and not willing to  make her an example, did wish privately to send her away. 
40N 001:020 And on his thinking of these things, lo, a messenger of the  Lord in a dream appeared to him, saying, `Joseph, son of David,  thou mayest not fear to receive Mary thy wife, for that which  in her was begotten [is] of the Holy Spirit, 
40N 001:021 and she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his  name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins.' 
40N 001:022 And all this hath come to pass, that it may be fulfilled  that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 
40N 001:023 `Lo, the virgin shall conceive, and she shall bring forth a  son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel,' which is, being  interpreted `With us [he is] God.' 
40N 001:024 And Joseph, having risen from the sleep, did as the  messenger of the Lord directed him, and received his wife, 
40N 001:025 and did not know her till she brought forth her son -- the  first-born, and he called his name Jesus. 
40N 002:001 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the  days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to  Jerusalem, 
40N 002:002 saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we  saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.' 
40N 002:003 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all  Jerusalem with him, 
40N 002:004 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the  people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born. 
40N 002:005 And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it  hath been written through the prophet, 
40N 002:006 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no  means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee  shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.' 
40N 002:007 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire  exactly from them the time of the appearing star, 
40N 002:008 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone --  inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have  found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to  him.' 
40N 002:009 And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star,  that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having  come, it stood over where the child was. 
40N 002:010 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding  great joy, 
40N 002:011 and having come to the house, they found the child with  Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and  having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts,  gold, and frankincense, and myrrh, 
40N 002:012 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back  unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own  region. 
40N 002:013 And on their having withdrawn, lo, a messenger of the Lord  doth appear in a dream to Joseph, saying, `Having risen, take  the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and be thou there  till I may speak to thee, for Herod is about to seek the child  to destroy him.' 
40N 002:014 And he, having risen, took the child and his mother by  night, and withdrew to Egypt, 
40N 002:015 and he was there till the death of Herod, that it might be  fulfilled that was spoken by the Lord through the prophet,  saying, `Out of Egypt I did call My Son.' 
40N 002:016 Then Herod, having seen that he was deceived by the mages,  was very wroth, and having sent forth, he slew all the male  children in Beth-Lehem, and in all its borders, from two years  and under, according to the time that he inquired exactly from  the mages. 
40N 002:017 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremiah the  prophet, saying, 
40N 002:018 `A voice in Ramah was heard -- lamentation and weeping and  much mourning -- Rachel weeping [for] her children, and she  would not be comforted because they are not.' 
40N 002:019 And Herod having died, lo, a messenger of the Lord in a  dream doth appear to Joseph in Egypt, 
40N 002:020 saying, `Having risen, take the child and his mother, and  be going to the land of Israel, for they have died -- those  seeking the life of the child.' 
40N 002:021 And he, having risen, took the child and his mother, and  came to the land of Israel, 
40N 002:022 and having heard that Archelaus doth reign over Judea  instead of Herod his father, he was afraid to go thither, and  having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the  parts of Galilee, 
40N 002:023 and coming, he dwelt in a city named Nazareth, that it  might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophets, that  `A Nazarene he shall be called.' 
40N 003:001 And in those days cometh John the Baptist, proclaiming in  the wilderness of Judea, 
40N 003:002 and saying, `Reform, for come nigh hath the reign of the  heavens,' 
40N 003:003 for this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet,  saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye  the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths.' 
40N 003:004 And this John had his clothing of camel's hair, and a girdle  of skin round his loins, and his nourishment was locusts and  honey of the field. 
40N 003:005 Then were going forth unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and  all the region round about the Jordan, 
40N 003:006 and they were baptized in the Jordan by him, confessing  their sins. 
40N 003:007 And having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming  about his baptism, he said to them, `Brood of vipers! who did  shew you to flee from the coming wrath? 
40N 003:008 bear, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, 
40N 003:009 and do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have --  Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones  to raise children to Abraham, 
40N 003:010 and now also, the axe unto the root of the trees is laid,  every tree therefore not bearing good fruit is hewn down, and  to fire is cast. 
40N 003:011 `I indeed do baptize you with water to reformation, but he  who after me is coming is mightier than I, of whom I am not  worthy to bear the sandals, he shall baptize you with the Holy  Spirit and with fire, 
40N 003:012 whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will thoroughly cleanse  his floor, and will gather his wheat to the storehouse, but the  chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.' 
40N 003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee upon the Jordan, unto John  to be baptized by him, 
40N 003:014 but John was forbidding him, saying, `I have need by thee  to be baptized -- and thou dost come unto me!' 
40N 003:015 But Jesus answering said to him, `Suffer now, for thus it  is becoming to us to fulfill all righteousness,' then he doth  suffer him. 
40N 003:016 And having been baptized, Jesus went up immediately from  the water, and lo, opened to him were the heavens, and he saw  the Spirit of God descending as a dove, and coming upon him, 
40N 003:017 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, `This is My Son  -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.' 
40N 004:001 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be  tempted by the Devil, 
40N 004:002 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he  did hunger. 
40N 004:003 And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of  God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.' 
40N 004:004 But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread  alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the  mouth of God.' 
40N 004:005 Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth  set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 
40N 004:006 and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself  down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall  charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up,  that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.' 
40N 004:007 Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt  not tempt the Lord thy God.' 
40N 004:008 Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth  shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of  them, 
40N 004:009 and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling  down thou mayest bow to me.' 
40N 004:010 Then saith Jesus to him, `Go -- Adversary, for it hath been  written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou  shalt serve.' 
40N 004:011 Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and  were ministering to him. 
40N 004:012 And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did  withdraw to Galilee, 
40N 004:013 and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at  Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and  Naphtalim, 
40N 004:014 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah  the prophet, saying, 
40N 004:015 `Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea,  beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! -- 
40N 004:016 the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light,  and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death -- light  arose to them.' 
40N 004:017 From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform  ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.' 
40N 004:018 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers,  Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into  the sea -- for they were fishers -- 
40N 004:019 and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make  you fishers of men,' 
40N 004:020 and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow  him. 
40N 004:021 And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers,  James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with  Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them, 
40N 004:022 and they, immediately, having left the boat and their  father, did follow him. 
40N 004:023 And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their  synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and  healing every disease, and every malady among the people, 
40N 004:024 and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to  him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and  pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he  healed them. 
40N 004:025 And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and  Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan. 
40N 005:001 And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and  he having sat down, his disciples came to him, 
40N 005:002 and having opened his mouth, he was teaching them, saying: 
40N 005:003 `Happy the poor in spirit -- because theirs is the reign of  the heavens. 
40N 005:004 `Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted. 
40N 005:005 `Happy the meek -- because they shall inherit the land. 
40N 005:006 `Happy those hungering and thirsting for righteousness --  because they shall be filled. 
40N 005:007 `Happy the kind -- because they shall find kindness. 
40N 005:008 `Happy the clean in heart -- because they shall see God. 
40N 005:009 `Happy the peacemakers -- because they shall be called Sons  of God. 
40N 005:010 `Happy those persecuted for righteousness' sake -- because  theirs is the reign of the heavens. 
40N 005:011 `Happy are ye whenever they may reproach you, and may  persecute, and may say any evil thing against you falsely for  my sake -- 
40N 005:012 rejoice ye and be glad, because your reward [is] great in  the heavens, for thus did they persecute the prophets who were  before you. 
40N 005:013 `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose  savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good  henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down  by men. 
40N 005:014 `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is  not able to be hid; 
40N 005:015 nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but  on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; 
40N 005:016 so let your light shine before men, that they may see your  good works, and may glorify your Father who [is] in the  heavens. 
40N 005:017 `Do not suppose that I came to throw down the law or the  prophets -- I did not come to throw down, but to fulfill; 
40N 005:018 for, verily I say to you, till that the heaven and the  earth may pass away, one iota or one tittle may not pass away  from the law, till that all may come to pass. 
40N 005:019 `Whoever therefore may loose one of these commands -- the  least -- and may teach men so, least he shall be called in the  reign of the heavens, but whoever may do and may teach [them],  he shall be called great in the reign of the heavens. 
40N 005:020 `For I say to you, that if your righteousness may not  abound above that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye may not  enter to the reign of the heavens. 
40N 005:021 `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not  kill, and whoever may kill shall be in danger of the judgment; 
40N 005:022 but I -- I say to you, that every one who is angry at his  brother without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment, and  whoever may say to his brother, Empty fellow! shall be in  danger of the sanhedrim, and whoever may say, Rebel! shall be  in danger of the gehenna of the fire. 
40N 005:023 `If, therefore, thou mayest bring thy gift to the altar,  and there mayest remember that thy brother hath anything  against thee, 
40N 005:024 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go -- first be  reconciled to thy brother, and then having come bring thy gift. 
40N 005:025 `Be agreeing with thy opponent quickly, while thou art in  the way with him, that the opponent may not deliver thee to the  judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and to  prison thou mayest be cast, 
40N 005:026 verily I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence  till that thou mayest pay the last farthing. 
40N 005:027 `Ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou shalt not  commit adultery; 
40N 005:028 but I -- I say to you, that every one who is looking on a  woman to desire her, did already commit adultery with her in  his heart. 
40N 005:029 `But, if thy right eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it  out and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy  members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. 
40N 005:030 `And, if thy right hand doth cause thee to stumble, cut it  off, and cast from thee, for it is good to thee that one of thy  members may perish, and not thy whole body be cast to gehenna. 
40N 005:031 `And it was said, That whoever may put away his wife, let  him give to her a writing of divorce; 
40N 005:032 but I -- I say to you, that whoever may put away his wife,  save for the matter of whoredom, doth make her to commit  adultery; and whoever may marry her who hath been put away doth  commit adultery. 
40N 005:033 `Again, ye heard that it was said to the ancients: Thou  shalt not swear falsely, but thou shalt pay to the Lord thine  oaths; 
40N 005:034 but I -- I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the  heaven, because it is the throne of God, 
40N 005:035 nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by  Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king, 
40N 005:036 nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not  able one hair to make white or black; 
40N 005:037 but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is  more than these is of the evil. 
40N 005:038 `Ye heard that it was said: Eye for eye, and tooth for  tooth; 
40N 005:039 but I -- I say to you, not to resist the evil, but whoever  shall slap thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other; 
40N 005:040 and whoever is willing to take thee to law, and thy coat to  take -- suffer to him also the cloak. 
40N 005:041 `And whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two, 
40N 005:042 to him who is asking of thee be giving, and him who is  willing to borrow from thee thou mayest not turn away. 
40N 005:043 `Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor,  and shalt hate thine enemy; 
40N 005:044 but I -- I say to you, Love your enemies, bless those  cursing you, do good to those hating you, and pray for those  accusing you falsely, and persecuting you, 
40N 005:045 that ye may be sons of your Father in the heavens, because  His sun He doth cause to rise on evil and good, and He doth  send rain on righteous and unrighteous. 
40N 005:046 `For, if ye may love those loving you, what reward have ye?  do not also the tax-gatherers the same? 
40N 005:047 and if ye may salute your brethren only, what do ye  abundant? do not also the tax-gatherers so? 
40N 005:048 ye shall therefore be perfect, as your Father who [is] in  the heavens is perfect. 
40N 006:001 `Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by  them, and if not -- reward ye have not from your Father who  [is] in the heavens; 
40N 006:002 whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest  not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the  synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from  men; verily I say to you -- they have their reward! 
40N 006:003 `But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what  thy right hand doth, 
40N 006:004 that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is  seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly. 
40N 006:005 `And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the  hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the  corners of the broad places -- standing -- to pray, that they  may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their  reward. 
40N 006:006 `But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and  having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret,  and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee  manifestly. 
40N 006:007 `And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the  nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall  be heard, 
40N 006:008 be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know  those things that ye have need of before your asking him; 
40N 006:009 thus therefore pray ye: `Our Father who [art] in the  heavens! hallowed be Thy name. 
40N 006:010 `Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also  on the earth. 
40N 006:011 `Our appointed bread give us to-day. 
40N 006:012 `And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors. 
40N 006:013 `And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us  from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and  the glory -- to the ages. Amen. 
40N 006:014 `For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will  forgive you -- your Father who [is] in the heavens; 
40N 006:015 but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither  will your Father forgive your trespasses. 
40N 006:016 `And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour  countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may  appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have  their reward. 
40N 006:017 `But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face, 
40N 006:018 that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy  Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in  secret, shall reward thee manifestly. 
40N 006:019 `Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth,  where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through  and steal, 
40N 006:020 but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where  neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not  break through nor steal, 
40N 006:021 for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart. 
40N 006:022 `The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye  may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened, 
40N 006:023 but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark;  if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness -- the  darkness, how great! 
40N 006:024 `None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate  the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and  despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon. 
40N 006:025 `Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your  life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your  body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the  nourishment, and the body than the clothing? 
40N 006:026 look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor  reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father  doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they? 
40N 006:027 `And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age  one cubit? 
40N 006:028 and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the  lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor  do they spin; 
40N 006:029 and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory  was arrayed as one of these. 
40N 006:030 `And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and  to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe -- not  much more you, O ye of little faith? 
40N 006:031 therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat?  or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round? 
40N 006:032 for all these do the nations seek for, for your  heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these; 
40N 006:033 but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness,  and all these shall be added to you. 
40N 006:034 Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow  shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day  [is] the evil of it. 
40N 007:001 `Judge not, that ye may not be judged, 
40N 007:002 for in what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged, and in  what measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you. 
40N 007:003 `And why dost thou behold the mote that [is] in thy  brother's eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not  consider? 
40N 007:004 or, how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer I may cast out  the mote from thine eye, and lo, the beam [is] in thine own  eye? 
40N 007:005 Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and  then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy  brother's eye. 
40N 007:006 `Ye may not give that which is [holy] to the dogs, nor cast  your pearls before the swine, that they may not trample them  among their feet, and having turned -- may rend you. 
40N 007:007 `Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find;  knock, and it shall be opened to you; 
40N 007:008 for every one who is asking doth receive, and he who is  seeking doth find, and to him who is knocking it shall be  opened. 
40N 007:009 `Or what man is of you, of whom, if his son may ask a loaf  -- a stone will he present to him? 
40N 007:010 and if a fish he may ask -- a serpent will he present to  him? 
40N 007:011 if, therefore, ye being evil, have known good gifts to give  to your children, how much more shall your Father who [is] in  the heavens give good things to those asking him? 
40N 007:012 `All things, therefore, whatever ye may will that men may  be doing to you, so also do to them, for this is the law and  the prophets. 
40N 007:013 `Go ye in through the strait gate, because wide [is] the  gate, and broad the way that is leading to the destruction, and  many are those going in through it; 
40N 007:014 how strait [is] the gate, and compressed the way that is  leading to the life, and few are those finding it! 
40N 007:015 `But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in  sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves. 
40N 007:016 From their fruits ye shall know them; do [men] gather from  thorns grapes? or from thistles figs? 
40N 007:017 so every good tree doth yield good fruits, but the bad tree  doth yield evil fruits. 
40N 007:018 A good tree is not able to yield evil fruits, nor a bad  tree to yield good fruits. 
40N 007:019 Every tree not yielding good fruit is cut down and is cast  to fire: 
40N 007:020 therefore from their fruits ye shall know them. 
40N 007:021 `Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come  into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of  my Father who is in the heavens. 
40N 007:022 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in  thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in  thy name done many mighty things? 
40N 007:023 and then I will acknowledge to them, that -- I never knew  you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness. 
40N 007:024 `Therefore, every one who doth hear of me these words, and  doth do them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his  house upon the rock; 
40N 007:025 and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the  winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell not, for  it had been founded on the rock. 
40N 007:026 `And every one who is hearing of me these words, and is not  doing them, shall be likened to a foolish man who built his  house upon the sand; 
40N 007:027 and the rain did descend, and the streams came, and the  winds blew, and they beat on that house, and it fell, and its  fall was great.' 
40N 007:028 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended these words, the  multitudes were astonished at his teaching, 
40N 007:029 for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as  the scribes. 
40N 008:001 And when he came down from the mount, great multitudes did  follow him, 
40N 008:002 and lo, a leper having come, was bowing to him, saying,  `Sir, if thou art willing, thou art able to cleanse me;' 
40N 008:003 and having stretched forth the hand, Jesus touched him,  saying, `I will, be thou cleansed,' and immediately his leprosy  was cleansed. 
40N 008:004 And Jesus saith to him, `See, thou mayest tell no one, but  go, thyself shew to the priest, and bring the gift that Moses  commanded for a testimony to them.' 
40N 008:005 And Jesus having entered into Capernaum, there came to him a  centurion calling upon him, 
40N 008:006 and saying, `Sir, my young man hath been laid in the house a  paralytic, fearfully afflicted,' 
40N 008:007 and Jesus saith to him, `I, having come, will heal him.' 
40N 008:008 And the centurion answering said, `Sir, I am not worthy that  thou mayest enter under my roof, but only say a word, and my  servant shall be healed; 
40N 008:009 for I also am a man under authority, having under myself  soldiers, and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to  another, Be coming, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this,  and he doth [it].' 
40N 008:010 And Jesus having heard, did wonder, and said to those  following, `Verily I say to you, not even in Israel so great  faith have I found; 
40N 008:011 and I say to you, that many from east and west shall come  and recline (at meat) with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in  the reign of the heavens, 
40N 008:012 but the sons of the reign shall be cast forth to the outer  darkness -- there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the  teeth.' 
40N 008:013 And Jesus said to the centurion, `Go, and as thou didst  believe let it be to thee;' and his young man was healed in  that hour. 
40N 008:014 And Jesus having come into the house of Peter, saw his  mother-in-law laid, and fevered, 
40N 008:015 and he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she  arose, and was ministering to them. 
40N 008:016 And evening having come, they brought to him many  demoniacs, and he did cast out the spirits with a word, and did  heal all who were ill, 
40N 008:017 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah  the prophet, saying, `Himself took our infirmities, and the  sicknesses he did bear.' 
40N 008:018 And Jesus having seen great multitudes about him, did  command to depart to the other side; 
40N 008:019 and a certain scribe having come, said to him, `Teacher, I  will follow thee wherever thou mayest go;' 
40N 008:020 and Jesus saith to him, `The foxes have holes, and the  birds of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not  where he may lay the head.' 
40N 008:021 And another of his disciples said to him, `Sir, permit me  first to depart and to bury my father;' 
40N 008:022 and Jesus said to him, `Follow me, and suffer the dead to  bury their own dead.' 
40N 008:023 And when he entered into the boat his disciples did follow  him, 
40N 008:024 and lo, a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the boat  was being covered by the waves, but he was sleeping, 
40N 008:025 and his disciples having come to him, awoke him, saying,  `Sir, save us; we are perishing.' 
40N 008:026 And he saith to them, `Why are ye fearful, O ye of little  faith?' Then having risen, he rebuked the winds and the sea,  and there was a great calm; 
40N 008:027 and the men wondered, saying, `What kind -- is this, that  even the wind and the sea do obey him?' 
40N 008:028 And he having come to the other side, to the region of the  Gergesenes, there met him two demoniacs, coming forth out of  the tombs, very fierce, so that no one was able to pass over by  that way, 
40N 008:029 and lo, they cried out, saying, `What -- to us and to thee,  Jesus, Son of God? didst thou come hither, before the time, to  afflict us?' 
40N 008:030 And there was far off from them a herd of many swine  feeding, 
40N 008:031 and the demons were calling on him, saying, `If thou dost  cast us forth, permit us to go away to the herd of the swine;' 
40N 008:032 and he saith to them, `Go.' And having come forth, they  went to the herd of the swine, and lo, the whole herd of the  swine rushed down the steep, to the sea, and died in the  waters, 
40N 008:033 and those feeding did flee, and, having gone to the city,  they declared all, and the matter of the demoniacs. 
40N 008:034 And lo, all the city came forth to meet Jesus, and having  seen him, they called on [him] that he might depart from their  borders. 
40N 009:001 And having gone to the boat, he passed over, and came to his  own city, 
40N 009:002 and lo, they were bringing to him a paralytic, laid upon a  couch, and Jesus having seen their faith, said to the  paralytic, `Be of good courage, child, thy sins have been  forgiven thee.' 
40N 009:003 And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This  one doth speak evil.' 
40N 009:004 And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, `Why think ye  evil in your hearts? 
40N 009:005 for which is easier? to say, The sins have been forgiven to  thee; or to say, Rise, and walk? 
40N 009:006 `But, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power upon  the earth to forgive sins -- (then saith he to the paralytic)  -- having risen, take up thy couch, and go to thy house.' 
40N 009:007 And he, having risen, went to his house, 
40N 009:008 and the multitudes having seen, wondered, and glorified God,  who did give such power to men. 
40N 009:009 And Jesus passing by thence, saw a man sitting at the  tax-office, named Matthew, and saith to him, `Be following me,'  and he, having risen, did follow him. 
40N 009:010 And it came to pass, he reclining (at meat) in the house,  that lo, many tax-gatherers and sinners having come, were lying  (at meat) with Jesus and his disciples, 
40N 009:011 and the Pharisees having seen, said to his disciples,  `Wherefore with the tax-gatherers and sinners doth your teacher  eat?' 
40N 009:012 And Jesus having heard, said to them, `They who are whole  have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; 
40N 009:013 but having gone, learn ye what is, Kindness I will, and not  sacrifice, for I did not come to call righteous men, but  sinners, to reformation.' 
40N 009:014 Then come to him do the disciples of John, saying,  `Wherefore do we and the Pharisees fast much, and thy disciples  fast not?' 
40N 009:015 And Jesus said to them, `Can the sons of the bride-chamber  mourn, so long as the bridegroom is with them? but days shall  come when the bridegroom may be taken from them, and then they  shall fast. 
40N 009:016 `And no one doth put a patch of undressed cloth on an old  garment, for its filling up doth take from the garment, and a  worse rent is made. 
40N 009:017 `Nor do they put new wine into old skins, and if not -- the  skins burst, and the wine doth run out, and the skins are  destroyed, but they put new wine into new skins, and both are  preserved together.' 
40N 009:018 While he is speaking these things to them, lo, a ruler  having come, was bowing to him, saying that `My daughter just  now died, but, having come, lay thy hand upon her, and she  shall live.' 
40N 009:019 And Jesus having risen, did follow him, also his disciples, 
40N 009:020 and lo, a woman having an issue of blood twelve years,  having come to him behind, did touch the fringe of his  garments, 
40N 009:021 for she said within herself, `If only I may touch his  garment, I shall be saved.' 
40N 009:022 And Jesus having turned about, and having seen her, said,  `Be of good courage, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee,' and  the woman was saved from that hour. 
40N 009:023 And Jesus having come to the house of the ruler, and having  seen the minstrels and the multitude making tumult, 
40N 009:024 he saith to them, `Withdraw, for the damsel did not die,  but doth sleep,' and they were deriding him; 
40N 009:025 but, when the multitude was put forth, having gone in, he  took hold of her hand, and the damsel arose, 
40N 009:026 and the fame of this went forth to all the land. 
40N 009:027 And Jesus passing on thence, two blind men followed him,  calling and saying, `Deal kindly with us, Son of David.' 
40N 009:028 And he having come to the house, the blind men came to him,  and Jesus saith to them, `Believe ye that I am able to do  this?' They say to him, `Yes, sir.' 
40N 009:029 Then touched he their eyes, saying, `According to your  faith let it be to you,' 
40N 009:030 and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged  them, saying, `See, let no one know;' 
40N 009:031 but they, having gone forth, did spread his fame in all  that land. 
40N 009:032 And as they are coming forth, lo, they brought to him a man  dumb, a demoniac, 
40N 009:033 and the demon having been cast out, the dumb spake, and the  multitude did wonder, saying that `It was never so seen in  Israel:' 
40N 009:034 but the Pharisees said, `By the ruler of the demons he doth  cast out the demons.' 
40N 009:035 And Jesus was going up and down all the cities and the  villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the  good news of the reign, and healing every sickness and every  malady among the people. 
40N 009:036 And having seen the multitudes, he was moved with  compassion for them, that they were faint and cast aside, as  sheep not having a shepherd, 
40N 009:037 then saith he to his disciples, `The harvest indeed [is]  abundant, but the workmen few; 
40N 009:038 beseech ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he may  put forth workmen to His harvest.' 
40N 010:001 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to  them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out,  and to be healing every sickness, and every malady. 
40N 010:002 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first,  Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of  Zebedee, and John his brother; 
40N 010:003 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the  tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed  Thaddeus; 
40N 010:004 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also  deliver him up. 
40N 010:005 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to  them, saying, `To the way of the nations go not away, and into  a city of the Samaritans go not in, 
40N 010:006 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of  Israel. 
40N 010:007 `And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the  heavens hath come nigh; 
40N 010:008 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be  raising, demons be casting out -- freely ye did receive, freely  give. 
40N 010:009 `Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles, 
40N 010:010 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor  staff -- for the workman is worthy of his nourishment. 
40N 010:011 `And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire  ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth. 
40N 010:012 And coming to the house salute it, 
40N 010:013 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come  upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to  you. 
40N 010:014 `And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words,  coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of  your feet, 
40N 010:015 verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the  land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for  that city. 
40N 010:016 `Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves,  be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves. 
40N 010:017 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to  sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you, 
40N 010:018 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my  sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. 
40N 010:019 `And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how  or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour  what ye shall speak; 
40N 010:020 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father  that is speaking in you. 
40N 010:021 `And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father  child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall  put them to death, 
40N 010:022 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he  who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved. 
40N 010:023 `And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to  the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed  the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come. 
40N 010:024 `A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above  his lord; 
40N 010:025 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher,  and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they  did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household? 
40N 010:026 `Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing  covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be  known; 
40N 010:027 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light,  and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops. 
40N 010:028 `And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not  able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both  soul and body to destroy in gehenna. 
40N 010:029 `Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them  shall not fall on the ground without your Father; 
40N 010:030 and of you -- even the hairs of the head are all numbered; 
40N 010:031 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better. 
40N 010:032 `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men,  I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the  heavens; 
40N 010:033 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him  before my Father who is in the heavens. 
40N 010:034 `Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth;  I did not come to put peace, but a sword; 
40N 010:035 for I came to set a man at variance against his father,  and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law  against her mother-in-law, 
40N 010:036 and the enemies of a man are those of his household. 
40N 010:037 `He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy  of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not  worthy of me, 
40N 010:038 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after  me, is not worthy of me. 
40N 010:039 `He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his  life for my sake shall find it. 
40N 010:040 `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is  receiving me doth receive Him who sent me, 
40N 010:041 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet,  shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a  righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a  righteous man's reward, 
40N 010:042 and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones  a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I  say to you, he may not lose his reward.' 
40N 011:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus ended directing his twelve  disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their  cities. 
40N 011:002 And John having heard in the prison the works of the  Christ, having sent two of his disciples, 
40N 011:003 said to him, `Art thou He who is coming, or for another do  we look?' 
40N 011:004 And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone, declare to  John the things that ye hear and see, 
40N 011:005 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed,  and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news  proclaimed, 
40N 011:006 and happy is he who may not be stumbled in me.' 
40N 011:007 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes  concerning John, `What went ye out to the wilderness to view?  -- a reed shaken by the wind? 
40N 011:008 `But what went ye out to see? -- a man clothed in soft  garments? lo, those wearing the soft things are in the kings'  houses. 
40N 011:009 `But what went ye out to see? -- a prophet? yes, I say to  you, and more than a prophet, 
40N 011:010 for this is he of whom it hath been written, Lo, I do send  My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before  thee. 
40N 011:011 Verily I say to you, there hath not risen, among those  born of women, a greater than John the Baptist, but he who is  least in the reign of the heavens is greater than he. 
40N 011:012 `And, from the days of John the Baptist till now, the  reign of the heavens doth suffer violence, and violent men do  take it by force, 
40N 011:013 for all the prophets and the law till John did prophesy, 
40N 011:014 and if ye are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who  was about to come; 
40N 011:015 he who is having ears to hear -- let him hear. 
40N 011:016 `And to what shall I liken this generation? it is like  little children in market-places, sitting and calling to their  comrades, 
40N 011:017 and saying, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance, we  lamented to you, and ye did not smite the breast. 
40N 011:018 `For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say,  He hath a demon; 
40N 011:019 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Lo,  a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers  and sinners, and wisdom was justified of her children.' 
40N 011:020 Then began he to reproach the cities in which were done  most of his mighty works, because they did not reform. 
40N 011:021 `Wo to thee, Chorazin! wo to thee, Bethsaida! because, if  in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done  in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had reformed; 
40N 011:022 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it shall be more  tolerable in a day of judgment than for you. 
40N 011:023 `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted,  unto hades shalt be brought down, because if in Sodom had been  done the mighty works that were done in thee, it had remained  unto this day; 
40N 011:024 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it shall be more  tolerable in a day of judgment than to thee.' 
40N 011:025 At that time Jesus answering said, `I do confess to Thee,  Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that thou didst  hide these things from wise and understanding ones, and didst  reveal them to babes. 
40N 011:026 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before Thee. 
40N 011:027 `All things were delivered to me by my Father, and none  doth know the Son, except the Father, nor doth any know the  Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to  reveal [Him]. 
40N 011:028 `Come unto me, all ye labouring and burdened ones, and I  will give you rest, 
40N 011:029 take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am  meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, 
40N 011:030 for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.' 
40N 012:001 At that time did Jesus go on the sabbaths through the corn,  and his disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck ears,  and to eat, 
40N 012:002 and the Pharisees having seen, said to him, `Lo, thy  disciples do that which it is not lawful to do on a sabbath.' 
40N 012:003 And he said to them, `Did ye not read what David did, when  he was hungry, himself and those with him -- 
40N 012:004 how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the  presentation did eat, which it is not lawful to him to eat, nor  to those with him, except to the priests alone? 
40N 012:005 `Or did ye not read in the Law, that on the sabbaths the  priests in the temple do profane the sabbath, and are  blameless? 
40N 012:006 and I say to you, that a greater than the temple is here; 
40N 012:007 and if ye had known what is: Kindness I will, and not  sacrifice -- ye had not condemned the blameless, 
40N 012:008 for the son of man is lord even of the sabbath.' 
40N 012:009 And having departed thence, he went to their synagogue, 
40N 012:010 and lo, there was a man having the hand withered, and they  questioned him, saying, `Is it lawful to heal on the sabbaths?'  that they might accuse him. 
40N 012:011 And he said to them, `What man shall be of you, who shall  have one sheep, and if this may fall on the sabbaths into a  ditch, will not lay hold on it and raise [it]? 
40N 012:012 How much better, therefore, is a man than a sheep? -- so  that it is lawful on the sabbaths to do good.' 
40N 012:013 Then saith he to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand,' and he  stretched [it] forth, and it was restored whole as the other. 
40N 012:014 And the Pharisees having gone forth, held a consultation  against him, how they might destroy him, 
40N 012:015 and Jesus having known, withdrew thence, and there  followed him great multitudes, and he healed them all, 
40N 012:016 and did charge them that they might not make him manifest, 
40N 012:017 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah  the prophet, saying, 
40N 012:018 `Lo, My servant, whom I did choose, My beloved, in whom My  soul did delight, I will put My Spirit upon him, and judgment  to the nations he shall declare, 
40N 012:019 he shall not strive nor cry, nor shall any hear in the  broad places his voice, 
40N 012:020 a bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he  shall not quench, till he may put forth judgment to victory, 
40N 012:021 and in his name shall nations hope.' 
40N 012:022 Then was brought to him a demoniac, blind and dumb, and he  healed him, so that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. 
40N 012:023 And all the multitudes were amazed, and said, `Is this the  Son of David?' 
40N 012:024 but the Pharisees having heard, said, `This one doth not  cast out demons, except by Beelzeboul, ruler of the demons.' 
40N 012:025 And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every  kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated, and no  city or house having been divided against itself, doth stand, 
40N 012:026 and if the Adversary doth cast out the Adversary, against  himself he was divided, how then doth his kingdom stand? 
40N 012:027 `And if I, by Beelzeboul, do cast out the demons, your  sons -- by whom do they cast out? because of this they -- they  shall be your judges. 
40N 012:028 `But if I, by the Spirit of God, do cast out the demons,  then come already unto you did the reign of God. 
40N 012:029 `Or how is one able to go into the house of the strong  man, and to plunder his goods, if first he may not bind the  strong man? and then his house he will plunder. 
40N 012:030 `He who is not with me is against me, and he who is not  gathering with me, doth scatter. 
40N 012:031 Because of this I say to you, all sin and evil speaking  shall be forgiven to men, but the evil speaking of the Spirit  shall not be forgiven to men. 
40N 012:032 And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man it  shall be forgiven to him, but whoever may speak against the  Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this age,  nor in that which is coming. 
40N 012:033 `Either make the tree good, and its fruit good, or make  the tree bad, and its fruit bad, for from the fruit is the tree  known. 
40N 012:034 `Brood of vipers! how are ye able to speak good things --  being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart doth the  mouth speak. 
40N 012:035 The good man out of the good treasure of the heart doth  put forth the good things, and the evil man out of the evil  treasure doth put forth evil things. 
40N 012:036 `And I say to you, that every idle word that men may  speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of  judgment; 
40N 012:037 for from thy words thou shalt be declared righteous, and  from thy words thou shalt be declared unrighteous.' 
40N 012:038 Then answered certain of the scribes and Pharisees,  saying, `Teacher, we will to see a sign from thee.' 
40N 012:039 And he answering said to them, `A generation, evil and  adulterous, doth seek a sign, and a sign shall not be given to  it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet; 
40N 012:040 for, as Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and  three nights, so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the  earth three days and three nights. 
40N 012:041 `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this  generation, and shall condemn it, for they reformed at the  proclamation of Jonah, and lo, a greater than Jonah here! 
40N 012:042 `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 lo, a  greater than Solomon here! 
40N 012:043 `And, when the unclean spirit may go forth from the man,  it doth walk through dry places seeking rest, and doth not  find; 
40N 012:044 then it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came  forth; and having come, it findeth [it] unoccupied, swept, and  adorned: 
40N 012:045 then doth it go, and take with itself seven other spirits  more evil than itself, and having gone in they dwell there, and  the last of that man doth become worse than the first; so shall  it be also to this evil generation.' 
40N 012:046 And while he was yet speaking to the multitudes, lo, his  mother and brethren had stood without, seeking to speak to him, 
40N 012:047 and one said to him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren do  stand without, seeking to speak to thee.' 
40N 012:048 And he answering said to him who spake to him, `Who is my  mother? and who are my brethren?' 
40N 012:049 And having stretched forth his hand toward his disciples,  he said, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! 
40N 012:050 for whoever may do the will of my Father who is in the  heavens, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.' 
40N 013:001 And in that day Jesus, having gone forth from the house,  was sitting by the sea, 
40N 013:002 and gathered together unto him were many multitudes, so  that he having gone into the boat did sit down, and all the  multitude on the beach did stand, 
40N 013:003 and he spake to them many things in similes, saying: `Lo,  the sower went forth to sow, 
40N 013:004 and in his sowing, some indeed fell by the way, and the  fowls did come and devour them, 
40N 013:005 and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not  much earth, and immediately they sprang forth, through not  having depth of earth, 
40N 013:006 and the sun having risen they were scorched, and through  not having root, they withered, 
40N 013:007 and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns did come up  and choke them, 
40N 013:008 and others fell upon the good ground, and were giving  fruit, some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some  thirty. 
40N 013:009 He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.' 
40N 013:010 And the disciples having come near, said to him,  `Wherefore in similes dost thou speak to them?' 
40N 013:011 And he answering said to them that -- `To you it hath been  given to know the secrets of the reign of the heavens, and to  these it hath not been given, 
40N 013:012 for whoever hath, it shall be given to him, and he shall  have overabundance, and whoever hath not, even that which he  hath shall be taken from him. 
40N 013:013 `Because of this, in similes do I speak to them, because  seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor  understand, 
40N 013:014 and fulfilled on them is the prophecy of Isaiah, that  saith, With hearing ye shall hear, and ye shall not understand,  and seeing ye shall see, and ye shall not perceive, 
40N 013:015 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the  ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest  they might see with the eyes, and with the ears might hear, and  with the heart understand, and turn back, and I might heal  them. 
40N 013:016 `And happy are your eyes because they see, and your ears  because they hear, 
40N 013:017 for verily I say to you, that many prophets and righteous  men did desire to see that which ye look on, and they did not  see, and to hear that which ye hear, and they did not hear. 
40N 013:018 `Ye, therefore, hear ye the simile of the sower: 
40N 013:019 Every one hearing the word of the reign, and not  understanding -- the evil one doth come, and doth catch that  which hath been sown in his heart; this is that sown by the  way. 
40N 013:020 `And that sown on the rocky places, this is he who is  hearing the word, and immediately with joy is receiving it, 
40N 013:021 and he hath not root in himself, but is temporary, and  persecution or tribulation having happened because of the word,  immediately he is stumbled. 
40N 013:022 `And that sown toward the thorns, this is he who is  hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age, and the  deceitfulness of the riches, do choke the word, and it becometh  unfruitful. 
40N 013:023 `And that sown on the good ground: this is he who is  hearing the word, and is understanding, who indeed doth bear  fruit, and doth make, some indeed a hundredfold, and some  sixty, and some thirty.' 
40N 013:024 Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of  the heavens was likened to a man sowing good seed in his field, 
40N 013:025 and, while men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed  darnel in the midst of the wheat, and went away, 
40N 013:026 and when the herb sprang up, and yielded fruit, then  appeared also the darnel. 
40N 013:027 `And the servants of the householder, having come near,  said to him, Sir, good seed didst thou not sow in thy field?  whence then hath it the darnel? 
40N 013:028 And he saith to them, A man, an enemy, did this; and the  servants said to him, Wilt thou, then, [that] having gone away  we may gather it up? 
40N 013:029 `And he said, No, lest -- gathering up the darnel -- ye  root up with it the wheat, 
40N 013:030 suffer both to grow together till the harvest, and in the  time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first  the darnel, and bind it in bundles, to burn it, and the wheat  gather up into my storehouse.' 
40N 013:031 Another simile he set before them, saying: `The reign of  the heavens is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having  taken, did sow in his field, 
40N 013:032 which less, indeed, is than all the seeds, but when it may  be grown, is greatest of the herbs, and becometh a tree, so  that the birds of the heaven do come and rest in its branches.' 
40N 013:033 Another simile spake he to them: `The reign of the heavens  is like to leaven, which a woman having taken, hid in three  measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.' 
40N 013:034 All these things spake Jesus in similes to the multitudes,  and without a simile he was not speaking to them, 
40N 013:035 that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the  prophet, saying, `I will open in similes my mouth, I will utter  things having been hidden from the foundation of the world.' 
40N 013:036 Then having let away the multitudes, Jesus came to the  house, and his disciples came near to him, saying, `Explain to  us the simile of the darnel of the field.' 
40N 013:037 And he answering said to them, `He who is sowing the good  seed is the Son of Man, 
40N 013:038 and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are  the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil  one, 
40N 013:039 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest  is a full end of the age, and the reapers are messengers. 
40N 013:040 `As, then, the darnel is gathered up, and is burned with  fire, so shall it be in the full end of this age, 
40N 013:041 the Son of Man shall send forth his messengers, and they  shall gather up out of his kingdom all the stumbling-blocks,  and those doing the unlawlessness, 
40N 013:042 and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire; there  shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. 
40N 013:043 `Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the  reign of their Father. He who is having ears to hear -- let him  hear. 
40N 013:044 `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to treasure hid  in the field, which a man having found did hide, and from his  joy goeth, and all, as much as he hath, he selleth, and buyeth  that field. 
40N 013:045 `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a  merchant, seeking goodly pearls, 
40N 013:046 who having found one pearl of great price, having gone  away, hath sold all, as much as he had, and bought it. 
40N 013:047 `Again, the reign of the heavens is like to a net that was  cast into the sea, and did gather together of every kind, 
40N 013:048 which, when it was filled, having drawn up again upon the  beach, and having sat down, they gathered the good into  vessels, and the bad they did cast out, 
40N 013:049 so shall it be in the full end of the age, the messengers  shall come forth and separate the evil out of the midst of the  righteous, 
40N 013:050 and shall cast them to the furnace of the fire, there  shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth.' 
40N 013:051 Jesus saith to them, `Did ye understand all these?' They  say to him, `Yes, sir.' 
40N 013:052 And he said to them, `Because of this every scribe having  been discipled in regard to the reign of the heavens, is like  to a man, a householder, who doth bring forth out of his  treasure things new and old.' 
40N 013:053 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these similes, he  removed thence, 
40N 013:054 and having come to his own country, he was teaching them  in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and were  saying, `Whence to this one this wisdom and the mighty works? 
40N 013:055 is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called  Mary, and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 
40N 013:056 and his sisters -- are they not all with us? whence, then,  to this one all these?' 
40N 013:057 and they were stumbled at him. And Jesus said to them, `A  prophet is not without honor except in his own country, and in  his own house:' 
40N 013:058 and he did not there many mighty works, because of their  unbelief. 
40N 014:001 At that time did Herod the tetrarch hear the fame of Jesus, 
40N 014:002 and said to his servants, `This is John the Baptist, he did  rise from the dead, and because of this the mighty energies are  working in him.' 
40N 014:003 For Herod having laid hold on John, did bind him, and did put  him in prison, because of Herodias his brother Philip's wife, 
40N 014:004 for John was saying to him, `It is not lawful to thee to  have her,' 
40N 014:005 and, willing to kill him, he feared the multitude, because  as a prophet they were holding him. 
40N 014:006 But the birthday of Herod being kept, the daughter of  Herodias danced in the midst, and did please Herod, 
40N 014:007 whereupon with an oath he professed to give her whatever  she might ask. 
40N 014:008 And she having been instigated by her mother -- `Give me  (says she) here upon a plate the head of John the Baptist; 
40N 014:009 and the king was grieved, but because of the oaths and of  those reclining with him, he commanded [it] to be given; 
40N 014:010 and having sent, he beheaded John in the prison, 
40N 014:011 and his head was brought upon a plate, and was given to  the damsel, and she brought [it] nigh to her mother. 
40N 014:012 And his disciples having come, took up the body, and  buried it, and having come, they told Jesus, 
40N 014:013 and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a  desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did  follow him on land from the cities. 
40N 014:014 And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and  was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm; 
40N 014:015 and evening having come, his disciples came to him,  saying, `The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let  away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may  buy to themselves food.' 
40N 014:016 And Jesus said to them, `They have no need to go away --  give ye them to eat.' 
40N 014:017 And they say to him, `We have not here except five loaves,  and two fishes.' 
40N 014:018 And he said, `Bring ye them to me hither.' 
40N 014:019 And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the  grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes,  having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having  broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples  to the multitudes, 
40N 014:020 and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up  what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full; 
40N 014:021 and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from  women and children. 
40N 014:022 And immediately Jesus constrained his disciples to go into  the boat, and to go before him to the other side, till he might  let away the multitudes; 
40N 014:023 and having let away the multitudes, he went up to the  mountain by himself to pray, and evening having come, he was  there alone, 
40N 014:024 and the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed  by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 
40N 014:025 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to  them, walking upon the sea, 
40N 014:026 and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea,  were troubled saying -- `It is an apparition,' and from the  fear they cried out; 
40N 014:027 and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good  courage, I am [he], be not afraid.' 
40N 014:028 And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me  come to thee upon the waters;' 
40N 014:029 and he said, `Come;' and having gone down from the boat,  Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus, 
40N 014:030 but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having  begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.' 
40N 014:031 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand,  laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what  didst thou waver?' 
40N 014:032 and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled, 
40N 014:033 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying,  `Truly -- God's Son art thou.' 
40N 014:034 And having passed over, they came to the land of  Gennesaret, 
40N 014:035 and having recognized him, the men of that place sent  forth to all that region round about, and they brought to him  all who were ill, 
40N 014:036 and were calling on him that they might only touch the  fringe of his garment, and as many as did touch were saved. 
40N 015:001 Then come unto Jesus do they from Jerusalem -- scribes and  Pharisees -- saying, 
40N 015:002 `Wherefore do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the  elders? for they do not wash their hands when they may eat  bread.' 
40N 015:003 And he answering said to them, `Wherefore also do ye  transgress the command of God because of your tradition? 
40N 015:004 for God did command, saying, Honour thy father and mother;  and, He who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die  the death; 
40N 015:005 but ye say, Whoever may say to father or mother, An  offering [is] whatever thou mayest be profited by me; -- 
40N 015:006 and he may not honour his father or his mother, and ye did  set aside the command of God because of your tradition. 
40N 015:007 `Hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, 
40N 015:008 This people doth draw nigh to Me with their mouth, and with  the lips it doth honour Me, but their heart is far off from Me; 
40N 015:009 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings --  commands of men.' 
40N 015:010 And having called near the multitude, he said to them,  `Hear and understand: 
40N 015:011 not that which is coming into the mouth doth defile the  man, but that which is coming forth from the mouth, this  defileth the man.' 
40N 015:012 Then his disciples having come near, said to him, `Hast  thou known that the Pharisees, having heard the word, were  stumbled?' 
40N 015:013 And he answering said, `Every plant that my heavenly  Father did not plant shall be rooted up; 
40N 015:014 let them alone, guides they are -- blind of blind; and if  blind may guide blind, both into a ditch shall fall.' 
40N 015:015 And Peter answering said to him, `Explain to us this  simile.' 
40N 015:016 And Jesus said, `Are ye also yet without understanding? 
40N 015:017 do ye not understand that all that is going into the mouth  doth pass into the belly, and into the drain is cast forth? 
40N 015:018 but the things coming forth from the mouth from the heart  do come forth, and these defile the man; 
40N 015:019 for out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders,  adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false witnessings, evil  speakings: 
40N 015:020 these are the things defiling the man; but to eat with  unwashen hands doth not defile the man.' 
40N 015:021 And Jesus having come forth thence, withdrew to the parts  of Tyre and Sidon, 
40N 015:022 and lo, a woman, a Canaanitess, from those borders having  come forth, did call to him, saying, `Deal kindly with me, Sir  -- Son of David; my daughter is miserably demonized.' 
40N 015:023 And he did not answer her a word; and his disciples having  come to him, were asking him, saying -- `Let her away, because  she crieth after us;' 
40N 015:024 and he answering said, `I was not sent except to the lost  sheep of the house of Israel.' 
40N 015:025 And having come, she was bowing to him, saying, `Sir, help  me;' 
40N 015:026 and he answering said, `It is not good to take the  children's bread, and to cast to the little dogs.' 
40N 015:027 And she said, `Yes, sir, for even the little dogs do eat  of the crumbs that are falling from their lords' table;' 
40N 015:028 then answering, Jesus said to her, `O woman, great [is]  thy faith, let it be to thee as thou wilt;' and her daughter  was healed from that hour. 
40N 015:029 And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of  Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting  there, 
40N 015:030 and there came to him great multitudes, having with them  lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast  them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them, 
40N 015:031 so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones  speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and  they glorified the God of Israel. 
40N 015:032 And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have  compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they  continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to  let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.' 
40N 015:033 And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a  wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?' 
40N 015:034 And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and  they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.' 
40N 015:035 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the  ground, 
40N 015:036 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having  given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the  disciples to the multitude. 
40N 015:037 And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up  what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full, 
40N 015:038 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women  and children. 
40N 015:039 And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat,  and did come to the borders of Magdala. 
40N 016:001 And the Pharisees and Sadducees having come, tempting, did  question him, to shew to them a sign from the heaven, 
40N 016:002 and he answering said to them, `Evening having come, ye  say, Fair weather, for the heaven is red, 
40N 016:003 and at morning, Foul weather to-day, for the heaven is red  -- gloomy; hypocrites, the face of the heavens indeed ye do  know to discern, but the signs of the times ye are not able! 
40N 016:004 `A generation evil and adulterous doth seek a sign, and a  sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the  prophet;' and having left them he went away. 
40N 016:005 And his disciples having come to the other side, forgot to  take loaves, 
40N 016:006 and Jesus said to them, `Beware, and take heed of the  leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees;' 
40N 016:007 and they were reasoning in themselves, saying, `Because we  took no loaves.' 
40N 016:008 And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why reason ye in  yourselves, ye of little faith, because ye took no loaves? 
40N 016:009 do ye not yet understand, nor remember the five loaves of  the five thousand, and how many hand-baskets ye took up? 
40N 016:010 nor the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many  baskets ye took up? 
40N 016:011 how do ye not understand that I did not speak to you of  bread -- to take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and  Sadducees?' 
40N 016:012 Then they understood that he did not say to take heed of  the leaven of the bread, but of the teaching, of the Pharisees  and Sadducees. 
40N 016:013 And Jesus, having come to the parts of Cesarea Philippi,  was asking his disciples, saying, `Who do men say me to be --  the Son of Man?' 
40N 016:014 and they said, `Some, John the Baptist, and others,  Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.' 
40N 016:015 He saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' 
40N 016:016 and Simon Peter answering said, `Thou art the Christ, the  Son of the living God.' 
40N 016:017 And Jesus answering said to him, `Happy art thou, Simon  Bar-Jona, because flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to thee,  but my Father who is in the heavens. 
40N 016:018 `And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon  this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall  not prevail against it; 
40N 016:019 and I will give to thee the keys of the reign of the  heavens, and whatever thou mayest bind upon the earth shall be  having been bound in the heavens, and whatever thou mayest  loose upon the earth shall be having been loosed in the  heavens.' 
40N 016:020 Then did he charge his disciples that they may say to no  one that he is Jesus the Christ. 
40N 016:021 From that time began Jesus to shew to his disciples that  it is necessary for him to go away to Jerusalem, and to suffer  many things from the elders, and chief priests, and scribes,  and to be put to death, and the third day to rise. 
40N 016:022 And having taken him aside, Peter began to rebuke him,  saying, `Be kind to thyself, sir; this shall not be to thee;' 
40N 016:023 and he having turned, said to Peter, `Get thee behind me,  adversary! thou art a stumbling-block to me, for thou dost not  mind the things of God, but the things of men.' 
40N 016:024 Then said Jesus to his disciples, `If any one doth will to  come after me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross,  and follow me, 
40N 016:025 for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and  whoever may lose his life for my sake shall find it, 
40N 016:026 for what is a man profited if he may gain the whole world,  but of his life suffer loss? or what shall a man give as an  exchange for his life? 
40N 016:027 `For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his  Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each,  according to his work. 
40N 016:028 Verily I say to you, there are certain of those standing  here who shall not taste of death till they may see the Son of  Man coming in his reign.' 
40N 017:001 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, and James, and John  his brother, and doth bring them up to a high mount by  themselves, 
40N 017:002 and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as  the sun, and his garments did become white as the light, 
40N 017:003 and lo, appear to them did Moses and Elijah, talking  together with him. 
40N 017:004 And Peter answering said to Jesus, `Sir, it is good to us  to be here; if thou wilt, we may make here three booths -- for  thee one, and for Moses one, and one for Elijah.' 
40N 017:005 While he is yet speaking, lo, a bright cloud overshadowed  them, and lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My  Son, -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight; hear him.' 
40N 017:006 And the disciples having heard, did fall upon their face,  and were exceedingly afraid, 
40N 017:007 and Jesus having come near, touched them, and said, `Rise,  be not afraid,' 
40N 017:008 and having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one, except  Jesus only. 
40N 017:009 And as they are coming down from the mount, Jesus charged  them, saying, `Say to no one the vision, till the Son of Man  out of the dead may rise.' 
40N 017:010 And his disciples questioned him, saying, `Why then do the  scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first?' 
40N 017:011 And Jesus answering said to them, `Elijah doth indeed come  first, and shall restore all things, 
40N 017:012 and I say to you -- Elijah did already come, and they did  not know him, but did with him whatever they would, so also the  Son of Man is about to suffer by them.' 
40N 017:013 Then understood the disciples that concerning John the  Baptist he spake to them. 
40N 017:014 And when they came unto the multitude, there came to him a  man, kneeling down to him, 
40N 017:015 and saying, `Sir, deal kindly with my son, for he is  lunatic, and doth suffer miserably, for often he doth fall into  the fire, and often into the water, 
40N 017:016 and I brought him near to thy disciples, and they were not  able to heal him.' 
40N 017:017 And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and  perverse, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I bear  you? bring him to me hither;' 
40N 017:018 and Jesus rebuked him, and the demon went out of him, and  the lad was healed from that hour. 
40N 017:019 Then the disciples having come to Jesus by himself, said,  `Wherefore were we not able to cast him out?' 
40N 017:020 And Jesus said to them, `Through your want of faith; for  verily I say to you, if ye may have faith as a grain of  mustard, ye shall say to this mount, Remove hence to yonder  place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible to  you, 
40N 017:021 and this kind doth not go forth except in prayer and  fasting.' 
40N 017:022 And while they are living in Galilee, Jesus said to them,  `The Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of  men, 
40N 017:023 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise,'  and they were exceeding sorry. 
40N 017:024 And they having come to Capernaum, those receiving the  didrachms came near to Peter, and said, `Your teacher -- doth  he not pay the didrachms?' He saith, `Yes.' 
40N 017:025 And when he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him,  saying, `What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth --  from whom do they receive custom or poll-tax? from their sons  or from the strangers?' 
40N 017:026 Peter saith to him, `From the strangers.' Jesus said to  him, `Then are the sons free; 
40N 017:027 but, that we may not cause them to stumble, having gone to  the sea, cast a hook, and the fish that hath come up first take  thou up, and having opened its mouth, thou shalt find a stater,  that having taken, give to them for me and thee.' 
40N 018:001 At that hour came the disciples near to Jesus, saying,  `Who, now, is greater in the reign of the heavens?' 
40N 018:002 And Jesus having called near a child, did set him in the  midst of them, 
40N 018:003 and said, `Verily I say to you, if ye may not be turned and  become as the children, ye may not enter into the reign of the  heavens; 
40N 018:004 whoever then may humble himself as this child, he is the  greater in the reign of the heavens. 
40N 018:005 `And he who may receive one such child in my name, doth  receive me, 
40N 018:006 and whoever may cause to stumble one of those little ones  who are believing in me, it is better for him that a weighty  millstone may be hanged upon his neck, and he may be sunk in  the depth of the sea. 
40N 018:007 `Wo to the world from the stumbling-blocks! for there is a  necessity for the stumbling-blocks to come, but wo to that man  through whom the stumbling-block doth come! 
40N 018:008 `And if thy hand or thy foot doth cause thee to stumble,  cut them off and cast from thee; it is good for thee to enter  into the life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or  two feet, to be cast to the fire the age-during. 
40N 018:009 `And if thine eye doth cause thee to stumble, pluck it out  and cast from thee; it is good for thee one-eyed to enter into  the life, rather than having two eyes to be cast to the gehenna  of the fire. 
40N 018:010 `Beware! -- ye may not despise one of these little ones,  for I say to you, that their messengers in the heavens do  always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens, 
40N 018:011 for the Son of Man did come to save the lost. 
40N 018:012 `What think ye? if a man may have an hundred sheep, and  there may go astray one of them, doth he not -- having left the  ninety-nine, having gone on the mountains -- seek that which is  gone astray? 
40N 018:013 and if it may come to pass that he doth find it, verily I  say to you, that he doth rejoice over it more than over the  ninety-nine that have not gone astray; 
40N 018:014 so it is not will in presence of your Father who is in the  heavens, that one of these little ones may perish. 
40N 018:015 `And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him  his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou  didst gain thy brother; 
40N 018:016 and if he may not hear, take with thee yet one or two,  that by the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may  stand. 
40N 018:017 `And if he may not hear them, say [it] to the assembly,  and if also the assembly he may not hear, let him be to thee as  the heathen man and the tax-gatherer. 
40N 018:018 `Verily I say to you, Whatever things ye may bind upon the  earth shall be having been bound in the heavens, and whatever  things ye may loose on the earth shall be having been loosed in  the heavens. 
40N 018:019 `Again, I say to you, that, if two of you may agree on the  earth concerning anything, whatever they may ask -- it shall be  done to them from my Father who is in the heavens, 
40N 018:020 for where there are two or three gathered together -- to  my name, there am I in the midst of them.' 
40N 018:021 Then Peter having come near to him, said, `Sir, how often  shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him -- till  seven times?' 
40N 018:022 Jesus saith to him, `I do not say to thee till seven  times, but till seventy times seven. 
40N 018:023 `Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a  man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants, 
40N 018:024 and he having begun to take account, there was brought  near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents, 
40N 018:025 and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to  be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he  had, and payment to be made. 
40N 018:026 The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him,  saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all; 
40N 018:027 and the lord of that servant having been moved with  compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him. 
40N 018:028 `And, that servant having come forth, found one of his  fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and  having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me  that which thou owest. 
40N 018:029 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet,  was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will  pay thee all; 
40N 018:030 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into  prison, till he might pay that which was owing. 
40N 018:031 `And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were  done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully  to their lord all the things that were done; 
40N 018:032 then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil  servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst  call upon me, 
40N 018:033 did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy  fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee? 
40N 018:034 `And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the  inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him; 
40N 018:035 so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not  forgive each one his brother from your hearts their  trespasses.' 
40N 019:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these words, he  removed from Galilee, and did come to the borders of Judea,  beyond the Jordan, 
40N 019:002 and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them  there. 
40N 019:003 And the Pharisees came near to him, tempting him, and  saying to him, `Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for  every cause?' 
40N 019:004 And he answering said to them, `Did ye not read, that He  who made [them], from the beginning a male and a female made  them, 
40N 019:005 and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and  mother, and cleave to his wife, and they shall be -- the two --  for one flesh? 
40N 019:006 so that they are no more two, but one flesh; what therefore  God did join together, let no man put asunder.' 
40N 019:007 They say to him, `Why then did Moses command to give a roll  of divorce, and to put her away?' 
40N 019:008 He saith to them -- `Moses for your stiffness of heart did  suffer you to put away your wives, but from the beginning it  hath not been so. 
40N 019:009 `And I say to you, that, whoever may put away his wife, if  not for whoredom, and may marry another, doth commit adultery;  and he who did marry her that hath been put away, doth commit  adultery.' 
40N 019:010 His disciples say to him, `If the case of the man with the  woman is so, it is not good to marry.' 
40N 019:011 And he said to them, `All do not receive this word, but  those to whom it hath been given; 
40N 019:012 for there are eunuchs who from the mother's womb were so  born; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and  there are eunuchs who kept themselves eunuchs because of the  reign of the heavens: he who is able to receive [it] -- let him  receive.' 
40N 019:013 Then were brought near to him children that he might put  hands on them and pray, and the disciples rebuked them. 
40N 019:014 But Jesus said, `Suffer the children, and forbid them not,  to come unto me, for of such is the reign of the heavens;' 
40N 019:015 and having laid on them [his] hands, he departed thence. 
40N 019:016 And lo, one having come near, said to him, `Good teacher,  what good thing shall I do, that I may have life age-during?' 
40N 019:017 And he said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one  [is] good except One -- God; but if thou dost will to enter  into the life, keep the commands.' 
40N 019:018 He saith to him, `What kind?' And Jesus said, `Thou shalt  not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal,  thou shalt not bear false witness, 
40N 019:019 honour thy father and mother, and, thou shalt love thy  neighbor as thyself.' 
40N 019:020 The young man saith to him, `All these did I keep from my  youth; what yet do I lack?' 
40N 019:021 Jesus said to him, `If thou dost will to be perfect, go  away, sell what thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt  have treasure in heaven, and come, follow me.' 
40N 019:022 And the young man, having heard the word, went away  sorrowful, for he had many possessions; 
40N 019:023 and Jesus said to his disciples, `Verily I say to you,  that hardly shall a rich man enter into the reign of the  heavens; 
40N 019:024 and again I say to you, it is easier for a camel through  the eye of a needle to go, than for a rich man to enter into  the reign of God.' 
40N 019:025 And his disciples having heard, were amazed exceedingly,  saying, `Who, then, is able to be saved?' 
40N 019:026 And Jesus having earnestly beheld, said to them, `With men  this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.' 
40N 019:027 Then Peter answering said to him, `Lo, we did leave all,  and follow thee, what then shall we have?' 
40N 019:028 And Jesus said to them, `Verily I say to you, that ye who  did follow me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man may sit  upon a throne of his glory, shall sit -- ye also -- upon twelve  thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel; 
40N 019:029 and every one who left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or  father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my  name's sake, an hundredfold shall receive, and life age-during  shall inherit; 
40N 019:030 and many first shall be last, and last first. 
40N 020:001 `For the reign of the heavens is like to a man, a  householder, who went forth with the morning to hire workmen  for his vineyard, 
40N 020:002 and having agreed with the workmen for a denary a day, he  sent them into his vineyard. 
40N 020:003 `And having gone forth about the third hour, he saw others  standing in the market-place idle, 
40N 020:004 and to these he said, Go ye -- also ye -- to the vineyard,  and whatever may be righteous I will give you; 
40N 020:005 and they went away. `Again, having gone forth about the  sixth and the ninth hour, he did in like manner. 
40N 020:006 And about the eleventh hour, having gone forth, he found  others standing idle, and saith to them, Why here have ye stood  all the day idle? 
40N 020:007 they say to him, Because no one did hire us; he saith to  them, Go ye -- ye also -- to the vineyard, and whatever may be  righteous ye shall receive. 
40N 020:008 `And evening having come, the lord of the vineyard saith to  his steward, Call the workmen, and pay them the reward, having  begun from the last -- unto the first. 
40N 020:009 And they of about the eleventh hour having come, did  receive each a denary. 
40N 020:010 `And the first having come, did suppose that they shall  receive more, and they received, they also, each a denary, 
40N 020:011 and having received [it], they were murmuring against the  householder, saying, 
40N 020:012 that These, the last, wrought one hour, and thou didst  make them equal to us, who were bearing the burden of the day  -- and the heat. 
40N 020:013 `And he answering said to one of them, Comrade, I do no  unrighteousness to thee; for a denary didst not thou agree with  me? 
40N 020:014 take that which is thine, and go; and I will to give to  this, the last, also as to thee; 
40N 020:015 is it not lawful to me to do what I will in mine own? is  thine eye evil because I am good? 
40N 020:016 So the last shall be first, and the first last, for many  are called, and few chosen.' 
40N 020:017 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples  by themselves in the way, and said to them, 
40N 020:018 `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be  delivered to the chief priests and scribes, 
40N 020:019 and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him  to the nations to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify, and the  third day he will rise again.' 
40N 020:020 Then came near to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee,  with her sons, bowing and asking something from him, 
40N 020:021 and he said to her, `What wilt thou?' She saith to him,  `Say, that they may sit -- these my two sons -- one on thy  right hand, and one on the left, in thy reign.' 
40N 020:022 And Jesus answering said, `Ye have not known what ye ask  for yourselves; are ye able to drink of the cup that I am about  to drink? and with the baptism that I am baptized with, to be  baptized?' They say to him, `We are able.' 
40N 020:023 And he saith to them, `Of my cup indeed ye shall drink,  and with the baptism that I am baptized with ye shall be  baptized; but to sit on my right hand and on my left is not  mine to give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared by  my father.' 
40N 020:024 And the ten having heard, were much displeased with the  two brothers, 
40N 020:025 and Jesus having called them near, said, `Ye have known  that the rulers of the nations do exercise lordship over them,  and those great do exercise authority over them, 
40N 020:026 but not so shall it be among you, but whoever may will  among you to become great, let him be your ministrant; 
40N 020:027 and whoever may will among you to be first, let him be  your servant; 
40N 020:028 even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to,  but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' 
40N 020:029 And they going forth from Jericho, there followed him a  great multitude, 
40N 020:030 and lo, two blind men sitting by the way, having heard  that Jesus doth pass by, cried, saying, `Deal kindly with us,  sir -- Son of David.' 
40N 020:031 And the multitude charged them that they might be silent,  and they cried out the more, saying, `Deal kindly with us sir  -- Son of David.' 
40N 020:032 And having stood, Jesus called them, and said, `What will  ye [that] I may do to you?' 
40N 020:033 they say to him, `Sir, that our eyes may be opened;' 
40N 020:034 and having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their  eyes, and immediately their eyes received sight, and they  followed him. 
40N 021:001 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, and came to  Bethphage, unto the mount of the Olives, then Jesus sent two  disciples, 
40N 021:002 saying to them, `Go on to the village over-against you, and  immediately ye shall find an ass bound, and a colt with her --  having loosed, bring ye to me; 
40N 021:003 and if any one may say anything to you, ye shall say, that  the lord hath need of them, and immediately he will send them.' 
40N 021:004 And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that  was spoken through the prophet, saying, 
40N 021:005 `Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo, thy king doth come to  thee, meek, and mounted on an ass, and a colt, a foal of a  beast of burden.' 
40N 021:006 And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus  commanded them, 
40N 021:007 brought the ass and the colt, and did put on them their  garments, and set [him] upon them; 
40N 021:008 and the very great multitude spread their own garments in  the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and  were strewing in the way, 
40N 021:009 and the multitudes who were going before, and who were  following, were crying, saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,  blessed is he who is coming in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in  the highest.' 
40N 021:010 And he having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was  moved, saying, `Who is this?' 
40N 021:011 And the multitudes said, `This is Jesus the prophet, who  [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.' 
40N 021:012 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and did cast  forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the  tables of the money-changers he overturned, and the seats of  those selling the doves, 
40N 021:013 and he saith to them, `It hath been written, My house a  house of prayer shall be called, but ye did make it a den of  robbers.' 
40N 021:014 And there came to him blind and lame men in the temple,  and he healed them, 
40N 021:015 and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the  wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the  temple, and saying, `Hosanna to the Son of David,' were much  displeased; 
40N 021:016 and they said to him, `Hearest thou what these say?' And  Jesus saith to them, `Yes, did ye never read, that, Out of the  mouth of babes and sucklings Thou didst prepare praise?' 
40N 021:017 And having left them, he went forth out of the city to  Bethany, and did lodge there, 
40N 021:018 and in the morning turning back to the city, he hungered, 
40N 021:019 and having seen a certain fig-tree on the way, he came to  it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and he saith to  it, `No more from thee may fruit be -- to the age;' and  forthwith the fig-tree withered. 
40N 021:020 And the disciples having seen, did wonder, saying, `How  did the fig-tree forthwith wither?' 
40N 021:021 And Jesus answering said to them, `Verily I say to you, If  ye may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the  fig-tree shall ye do, but even if to this mount ye may say, Be  lifted up and be cast into the sea, it shall come to pass; 
40N 021:022 and all -- as much as ye may ask in the prayer, believing,  ye shall receive.' 
40N 021:023 And he having come to the temple, there came to him when  teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people,  saying, `By what authority dost thou do these things? and who  gave thee this authority?' 
40N 021:024 And Jesus answering said to them, `I will ask you -- I  also -- one word, which if ye may tell me, I also will tell you  by what authority I do these things; 
40N 021:025 the baptism of John, whence was it? -- from heaven, or  from men?' And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If  we should say, From heaven; he will say to us, Wherefore, then,  did ye not believe him? 
40N 021:026 and if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for  all hold John as a prophet.' 
40N 021:027 And answering Jesus they said, `We have not known.' He  said to them -- he also -- `Neither do I tell you by what  authority I do these things. 
40N 021:028 `And what think ye? A man had two children, and having  come to the first, he said, Child, go, to-day be working in my  vineyard.' 
40N 021:029 And he answering said, `I will not,' but at last, having  repented, he went. 
40N 021:030 `And having come to the second, he said in the same  manner, and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not; 
40N 021:031 which of the two did the will of the father?' They say to  him, `The first.' Jesus saith to them, `Verily I say to you,  that the tax-gatherers and the harlots do go before you into  the reign of God, 
40N 021:032 for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye  did not believe him, and the tax-gatherers and the harlots did  believe him, and ye, having seen, repented not at last -- to  believe him. 
40N 021:033 `Hear ye another simile: There was a certain man, a  householder, who planted a vineyard, and did put a hedge round  it, and digged in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and gave  it out to husbandmen, and went abroad. 
40N 021:034 `And when the season of the fruits came nigh, he sent his  servants unto the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it, 
40N 021:035 and the husbandmen having taken his servants, one they  scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned. 
40N 021:036 `Again he sent other servants more than the first, and  they did to them in the same manner. 
40N 021:037 `And at last he sent unto them his son, saying, They will  reverence my son; 
40N 021:038 and the husbandmen having seen the son, said among  themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may  possess his inheritance; 
40N 021:039 and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard,  and killed him; 
40N 021:040 whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what  will he do to these husbandmen?' 
40N 021:041 They say to him, `Evil men -- he will evilly destroy them,  and the vineyard will give out to other husbandmen, who will  give back to him the fruits in their seasons.' 
40N 021:042 Jesus saith to them, `Did ye never read in the Writings, A  stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner;  from the Lord hath this come to pass, and it is wonderful in  our eyes. 
40N 021:043 `Because of this I say to you, that the reign of God shall  be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its  fruit; 
40N 021:044 and he who is falling on this stone shall be broken, and  on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.' 
40N 021:045 And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard his  similes, knew that of them he speaketh, 
40N 021:046 and seeking to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes,  seeing they were holding him as a prophet. 
40N 022:001 And Jesus answering, again spake to them in similes,  saying, 
40N 022:002 `The reign of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who  made marriage-feasts for his son, 
40N 022:003 and he sent forth his servants to call those having been  called to the marriage-feasts, and they were not willing to  come. 
40N 022:004 `Again he sent forth other servants, saying, Say to those  who have been called: Lo, my dinner I prepared, my oxen and the  fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready, come ye  to the marriage-feasts; 
40N 022:005 and they, having disregarded [it], went away, the one to  his own field, and the other to his merchandise; 
40N 022:006 and the rest, having laid hold on his servants, did insult  and slay [them]. 
40N 022:007 `And the king having heard, was wroth, and having sent  forth his soldiers, he destroyed those murderers, and their  city he set on fire; 
40N 022:008 then saith he to his servants, The marriage-feast indeed is  ready, and those called were not worthy, 
40N 022:009 be going, then, on to the cross-ways, and as many as ye may  find, call ye to the marriage-feasts. 
40N 022:010 `And those servants, having gone forth to the ways, did  gather all, as many as they found, both bad and good, and the  marriage-feast apartment was filled with those reclining. 
40N 022:011 `And the king having come in to view those reclining, saw  there a man not clothed with clothing of the marriage-feast, 
40N 022:012 and he saith to him, Comrade, how didst thou come in  hither, not having clothing of the marriage-feast? and he was  speechless. 
40N 022:013 `Then said the king to the ministrants, Having bound his  feet and hands, take him up and cast forth to the outer  darkness, there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the  teeth; 
40N 022:014 for many are called, and few chosen.' 
40N 022:015 Then the Pharisees having gone, took counsel how they  might ensnare him in words, 
40N 022:016 and they send to him their disciples with the Herodians,  saying, `Teacher, we have known that thou art true, and the way  of God in truth thou dost teach, and thou art not caring for  any one, for thou dost not look to the face of men; 
40N 022:017 tell us, therefore, what dost thou think? is it lawful to  give tribute to Caesar or not?' 
40N 022:018 And Jesus having known their wickedness, said, `Why me do  ye tempt, hypocrites? 
40N 022:019 show me the tribute-coin?' and they brought to him a  denary; 
40N 022:020 and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this image and the  inscription?' 
40N 022:021 they say to him, `Caesar's;' then saith he to them,  `Render therefore the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the  things of God to God;' 
40N 022:022 and having heard they wondered, and having left him they  went away. 
40N 022:023 In that day there came near to him Sadducees, who are  saying there is not a rising again, and they questioned him,  saying, 
40N 022:024 `Teacher, Moses said, If any one may die not having  children, his brother shall marry his wife, and shall raise up  seed to his brother. 
40N 022:025 `And there were with us seven brothers, and the first  having married did die, and not having seed, he left his wife  to his brother; 
40N 022:026 in like manner also the second, and the third, unto the  seventh, 
40N 022:027 and last of all died also the woman; 
40N 022:028 therefore in the rising again, of which of the seven shall  she be wife -- for all had her?' 
40N 022:029 And Jesus answering said to them, `Ye go astray, not  knowing the Writings, nor the power of God; 
40N 022:030 for in the rising again they do not marry, nor are they  given in marriage, but are as messengers of God in heaven. 
40N 022:031 `And concerning the rising again of the dead, did ye not  read that which was spoken to you by God, saying, 
40N 022:032 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God  of Jacob? God is not a God of dead men, but of living.' 
40N 022:033 And having heard, the multitudes were astonished at his  teaching; 
40N 022:034 and the Pharisees, having heard that he did silence the  Sadducees, were gathered together unto him; 
40N 022:035 and one of them, a lawyer, did question, tempting him, and  saying, 
40N 022:036 `Teacher, which [is] the great command in the Law?' 
40N 022:037 And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine  understanding -- 
40N 022:038 this is a first and great command; 
40N 022:039 and the second [is] like to it, Thou shalt love thy  neighbor as thyself; 
40N 022:040 on these -- the two commands -- all the law and the  prophets do hang.' 
40N 022:041 And the Pharisees having been gathered together, Jesus did  question them, 
40N 022:042 saying, `What do ye think concerning the Christ? of whom  is he son?' They say to him, `Of David.' 
40N 022:043 He saith to them, `How then doth David in the Spirit call  him lord, saying, 
40N 022:044 The Lord said to my lord, Sit at my right hand, till I may  make thine enemies thy footstool? 
40N 022:045 If then David doth call him lord, how is he his son?' 
40N 022:046 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor durst any  from that day question him any more. 
40N 023:001 Then Jesus spake to the multitudes, and to his disciples, 
40N 023:002 saying, `On the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the  Pharisees; 
40N 023:003 all, then, as much as they may say to you to observe, observe  and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and  do not; 
40N 023:004 for they bind together burdens heavy and grievous to be  borne, and lay upon the shoulders of men, but with their finger  they will not move them. 
40N 023:005 `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they  make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their  garments, 
40N 023:006 they love also the chief couches in the supper, and the  chief seats in the synagogues, 
40N 023:007 and the salutations in the market-places, and to be called  by men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 
40N 023:008 `And ye -- ye may not be called Rabbi, for one is your  director -- the Christ, and all ye are brethren; 
40N 023:009 and ye may not call [any] your father on the earth, for one  is your Father, who is in the heavens, 
40N 023:010 nor may ye be called directors, for one is your director  -- the Christ. 
40N 023:011 And the greater of you shall be your ministrant, 
40N 023:012 and whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and  whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted. 
40N 023:013 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  shut up the reign of the heavens before men, for ye do not go  in, nor those going in do ye suffer to enter. 
40N 023:014 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  eat up the houses of the widows, and for a pretence make long  prayers, because of this ye shall receive more abundant  judgment. 
40N 023:015 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  go round the sea and the dry land to make one proselyte, and  whenever it may happen -- ye make him a son of gehenna twofold  more than yourselves. 
40N 023:016 `Wo to you, blind guides, who are saying, Whoever may  swear by the sanctuary, it is nothing, but whoever may swear by  the gold of the sanctuary -- is debtor! 
40N 023:017 Fools and blind! for which [is] greater, the gold, or the  sanctuary that is sanctifying the gold? 
40N 023:018 `And, whoever may swear by the altar, it is nothing; but  whoever may swear by the gift that is upon it -- is debtor! 
40N 023:019 Fools and blind! for which [is] greater, the gift, or the  altar that is sanctifying the gift? 
40N 023:020 `He therefore who did swear by the altar, doth swear by  it, and by all things on it; 
40N 023:021 and he who did swear by the sanctuary, doth swear by it,  and by Him who is dwelling in it; 
40N 023:022 and he who did swear by the heaven, doth swear by the  throne of God, and by Him who is sitting upon it. 
40N 023:023 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  give tithe of the mint, and the dill, and the cumin, and did  neglect the weightier things of the Law -- the judgment, and  the kindness, and the faith; these it behoved [you] to do, and  those not to neglect. 
40N 023:024 `Blind guides! who are straining out the gnat, and the  camel are swallowing. 
40N 023:025 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  make clean the outside of the cup and the plate, and within  they are full of rapine and incontinence. 
40N 023:026 `Blind Pharisee! cleanse first the inside of the cup and  the plate, that the outside of them also may become clean. 
40N 023:027 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  are like to whitewashed sepulchres, which outwardly indeed do  appear beautiful, and within are full of bones of dead men, and  of all uncleanness; 
40N 023:028 so also ye outwardly indeed do appear to men righteous,  and within ye are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 
40N 023:029 `Wo to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye  build the sepulchres of the prophets, and adorn the tombs of  the righteous, 
40N 023:030 and 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. 
40N 023:031 So that ye testify to yourselves, that ye are sons of them  who did murder the prophets; 
40N 023:032 and ye -- ye fill up the measure of your fathers. 
40N 023:033 `Serpents! brood of vipers! how may ye escape from the  judgment of the gehenna? 
40N 023:034 `Because of this, lo, I send to you prophets, and wise  men, and scribes, and of them ye will kill and crucify, and of  them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will pursue from  city to city; 
40N 023:035 that on you may come all the righteous blood being poured  out on the earth from the blood of Abel the righteous, unto the  blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the  sanctuary and the altar: 
40N 023:036 verily I say to you, all these things shall come upon this  generation. 
40N 023:037 `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that art killing the prophets, and  stoning those sent unto thee, how often did I will to gather  thy children together, as a hen doth gather her own chickens  under the wings, and ye did not will. 
40N 023:038 Lo, left desolate to you is your house; 
40N 023:039 for I say to you, ye may not see me henceforth, till ye  may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the  Lord.' 
40N 024:001 And having gone forth, Jesus departed from the temple, and  his disciples came near to show him the buildings of the  temple, 
40N 024:002 and Jesus said to them, `Do ye not see all these? verily I  say to you, There may not be left here a stone upon a stone,  that shall not be thrown down.' 
40N 024:003 And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the  disciples came near to him by himself, saying, `Tell us, when  shall these be? and what [is] the sign of thy presence, and of  the full end of the age?' 
40N 024:004 And Jesus answering said to them, `Take heed that no one  may lead you astray, 
40N 024:005 for many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Christ,  and they shall lead many astray, 
40N 024:006 and ye shall begin to hear of wars, and reports of wars;  see, be not troubled, for it behoveth all [these] to come to  pass, but the end is not yet. 
40N 024:007 `For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against  kingdom, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and  earthquakes, in divers places; 
40N 024:008 and all these [are] the beginning of sorrows; 
40N 024:009 then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall  kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of  my name; 
40N 024:010 and then shall many be stumbled, and they shall deliver up  one another, and shall hate one another. 
40N 024:011 `And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many  astray; 
40N 024:012 and because of the abounding of the lawlessness, the love  of the many shall become cold; 
40N 024:013 but he who did endure to the end, he shall be saved; 
40N 024:014 and this good news of the reign shall be proclaimed in all  the world, for a testimony to all the nations; and then shall  the end arrive. 
40N 024:015 `Whenever, therefore, ye may see the abomination of the  desolation, that was spoken of through Daniel the prophet,  standing in the holy place (whoever is reading let him observe) 
40N 024:016 then those in Judea -- let them flee to the mounts; 
40N 024:017 he on the house-top -- let him not come down to take up  any thing out of his house; 
40N 024:018 and he in the field -- let him not turn back to take his  garments. 
40N 024:019 `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck in  those days; 
40N 024:020 and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, nor on  a sabbath; 
40N 024:021 for there shall be then great tribulation, such as was not  from the beginning of the world till now, no, nor may be. 
40N 024:022 And if those days were not shortened, no flesh would have  been saved; but because of the chosen, shall those days be  shortened. 
40N 024:023 `Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ!  or here! ye may not believe; 
40N 024:024 for there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets,  and they shall give great signs and wonders, so as to lead  astray, if possible, also the chosen. 
40N 024:025 Lo, I did tell you beforehand. 
40N 024:026 `If therefore they may say to you, Lo, in the wilderness  he is, ye may not go forth; lo, in the inner chambers, ye may  not believe; 
40N 024:027 for as the lightning doth come forth from the east, and  doth appear unto the west, so shall be also the presence of the  Son of Man; 
40N 024:028 for wherever the carcase may be, there shall the eagles be  gathered together. 
40N 024:029 `And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the  sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,  and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the  heavens shall be shaken; 
40N 024:030 and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in the  heaven; and then shall all the tribes of the earth smite the  breast, and they shall see the Son of Man coming upon the  clouds of the heaven, with power and much glory; 
40N 024:031 and he shall send his messengers with a great sound of a  trumpet, and they shall gather together his chosen from the  four winds, from the ends of the heavens unto the ends thereof. 
40N 024:032 `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: When already  its branch may have become tender, and the leaves it may put  forth, ye know that summer [is] nigh, 
40N 024:033 so also ye, when ye may see all these, ye know that it is  nigh -- at the doors. 
40N 024:034 Verily I say to you, this generation may not pass away  till all these may come to pass. 
40N 024:035 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words  shall not pass away. 
40N 024:036 `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known --  not even the messengers of the heavens -- except my Father  only; 
40N 024:037 and as the days of Noah -- so shall be also the presence  of the Son of Man; 
40N 024:038 for as they were, in the days before the flood, eating,  and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, till the day  Noah entered into the ark, 
40N 024:039 and they did not know till the flood came and took all  away; so shall be also the presence of the Son of Man. 
40N 024:040 Then two men shall be in the field, the one is received,  and the one is left; 
40N 024:041 two women shall be grinding in the mill, one is received,  and one is left. 
40N 024:042 `Watch ye therefore, because ye have not known in what  hour your Lord doth come; 
40N 024:043 and this know, that if the master of the house had known  in what watch the thief doth come, he had watched, and not  suffered his house to be broken through; 
40N 024:044 because of this also ye, become ye ready, because in what  hour ye do not think, the Son of Man doth come. 
40N 024:045 `Who, then, is the servant, faithful and wise, whom his  lord did set over his household, to give them the nourishment  in season? 
40N 024:046 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find  doing so; 
40N 024:047 verily I say to you, that over all his substance he will  set him. 
40N 024:048 `And, if that evil servant may say in his heart, My Lord  doth delay to come, 
40N 024:049 and may begin to beat the fellow-servants, and to eat and  to drink with the drunken, 
40N 024:050 the lord of that servant will arrive in a day when he doth  not expect, and in an hour of which he doth not know, 
40N 024:051 and will cut him off, and his portion with the hypocrites  will appoint; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of  the teeth. 
40N 025:001 `Then shall the reign of the heavens be likened to ten  virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went forth to meet the  bridegroom; 
40N 025:002 and five of them were prudent, and five foolish; 
40N 025:003 they who were foolish having taken their lamps, did not  take with themselves oil; 
40N 025:004 and the prudent took oil in their vessels, with their  lamps. 
40N 025:005 `And the bridegroom tarrying, they all nodded and were  sleeping, 
40N 025:006 and in the middle of the night a cry was made, Lo, the  bridegroom doth come; go ye forth to meet him. 
40N 025:007 `Then rose all those virgins, and trimmed their lamps, 
40N 025:008 and the foolish said to the prudent, Give us of your oil,  because our lamps are going out; 
40N 025:009 and the prudent answered, saying -- Lest there may not be  sufficient for us and you, go ye rather unto those selling, and  buy for yourselves. 
40N 025:010 `And while they are going away to buy, the bridegroom  came, and those ready went in with him to the marriage-feasts,  and the door was shut; 
40N 025:011 and afterwards come also do the rest of the virgins,  saying, Sir, sir, open to us; 
40N 025:012 and he answering said, Verily I say to you, I have not  known you. 
40N 025:013 `Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the  hour in which the Son of Man doth come. 
40N 025:014 `For -- as a man going abroad did call his own servants,  and did deliver to them his substance, 
40N 025:015 and to one he gave five talents, and to another two, and  to another one, to each according to his several ability, went  abroad immediately. 
40N 025:016 `And he who did receive the five talents, having gone,  wrought with them, and made other five talents; 
40N 025:017 in like manner also he who [received] the two, he gained,  also he, other two; 
40N 025:018 and he who did receive the one, having gone away, digged  in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 
40N 025:019 `And after a long time cometh the lord of those servants,  and taketh reckoning with them; 
40N 025:020 and he who did receive the five talents having come,  brought other five talents, saying, `Sir, five talents thou  didst deliver to me; lo, other five talents did I gain besides  them. 
40N 025:021 `And his lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and  faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many  things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. 
40N 025:022 `And he who also did receive the two talents having come,  said, Sir, two talents thou didst deliver to me; lo, other two  talents I did gain besides them. 
40N 025:023 `His lord said to him, Well done, servant, good and  faithful, over a few things thou wast faithful, over many  things I will set thee; enter into the joy of thy lord. 
40N 025:024 `And he also who hath received the one talent having come,  said, Sir, I knew thee, that thou art a hard man, reaping where  thou didst not sow, and gathering from whence thou didst not  scatter; 
40N 025:025 and having been afraid, having gone away, I hid thy talent  in the earth; lo, thou hast thine own! 
40N 025:026 `And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and  slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and  I gather whence I did not scatter! 
40N 025:027 it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders,  and having come I had received mine own with increase. 
40N 025:028 `Take therefore from him the talent, and give to him  having the ten talents, 
40N 025:029 for to every one having shall be given, and he shall have  overabundance, and from him who is not having, even that which  he hath shall be taken from him; 
40N 025:030 and the unprofitable servant cast ye forth to the outer  darkness; there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the  teeth. 
40N 025:031 `And whenever the Son of Man may come in his glory, and  all the holy messengers with him, then he shall sit upon a  throne of his glory; 
40N 025:032 and gathered together before him shall be all the nations,  and he shall separate them from one another, as the shepherd  doth separate the sheep from the goats, 
40N 025:033 and he shall set the sheep indeed on his right hand, and  the goats on the left. 
40N 025:034 `Then shall the king say to those on his right hand, Come  ye, the blessed of my Father, inherit the reign that hath been  prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 
40N 025:035 for I did hunger, and ye gave me to eat; I did thirst, and  ye gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and ye received me; 
40N 025:036 naked, and ye put around me; I was infirm, and ye looked  after me; in prison I was, and ye came unto me. 
40N 025:037 `Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when  did we see thee hungering, and we nourished? or thirsting, and  we gave to drink? 
40N 025:038 and when did we see thee a stranger, and we received? or  naked, and we put around? 
40N 025:039 and when did we see thee infirm, or in prison, and we came  unto thee? 
40N 025:040 `And the king answering, shall say to them, Verily I say  to you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] to one of these my brethren --  the least -- to me ye did [it]. 
40N 025:041 Then shall he say also to those on the left hand, Go ye  from me, the cursed, to the fire, the age-during, that hath  been prepared for the Devil and his messengers; 
40N 025:042 for I did hunger, and ye gave me not to eat; I did thirst,  and ye gave me not to drink; 
40N 025:043 a stranger I was, and ye did not receive me; naked, and ye  put not around me; infirm, and in prison, and ye did not look  after me. 
40N 025:044 `Then shall they answer, they also, saying, Lord, when did  we see thee hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked,  or infirm, or in prison, and we did not minister to thee? 
40N 025:045 `Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say to you,  Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of these, the least, ye did  [it] not to me. 
40N 025:046 And these shall go away to punishment age-during, but the  righteous to life age-during.' 
40N 026:001 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words,  he said to his disciples, 
40N 026:002 `Ye have known that after two days the passover cometh, and  the Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified.' 
40N 026:003 Then were gathered together the chief priests, and the  scribes, and the elders of the people, to the court of the  chief priest who was called Caiaphas; 
40N 026:004 and they consulted together that they might take Jesus by  guile, and kill [him], 
40N 026:005 and they said, `Not in the feast, that there may not be a  tumult among the people.' 
40N 026:006 And Jesus having been in Bethany, in the house of Simon the  leper, 
40N 026:007 there came to him a woman having an alabaster box of  ointment, very precious, and she poured on his head as he is  reclining (at meat). 
40N 026:008 And having seen [it], his disciples were much displeased,  saying, `To what purpose [is] this waste? 
40N 026:009 for this ointment could have been sold for much, and given  to the poor.' 
40N 026:010 And Jesus having known, said to them, `Why do ye give  trouble to the woman? for a good work she wrought for me; 
40N 026:011 for the poor always ye have with you, and me ye have not  always; 
40N 026:012 for she having put this ointment on my body -- for my  burial she did [it]. 
40N 026:013 Verily I say to you, Wherever this good news may be  proclaimed in the whole world, what this [one] did shall also  be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.' 
40N 026:014 Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot,  having gone unto the chief priests, said, 
40N 026:015 `What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up  to you?' and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings, 
40N 026:016 and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to  deliver him up. 
40N 026:017 And on the first [day] of the unleavened food came the  disciples near to Jesus, saying to him, `Where wilt thou [that]  we may prepare for thee to eat the passover?' 
40N 026:018 and he said, `Go away to the city, unto such a one, and  say to him, The Teacher saith, My time is nigh; near thee I  keep the passover, with my disciples;' 
40N 026:019 and the disciples did as Jesus appointed them, and  prepared the passover. 
40N 026:020 And evening having come, he was reclining (at meat) with  the twelve, 
40N 026:021 and while they are eating, he said, `Verily I say to you,  that one of you shall deliver me up.' 
40N 026:022 And being grieved exceedingly, they began to say to him,  each of them, `Is it I, Sir?' 
40N 026:023 And he answering said, `He who did dip with me the hand in  the dish, he will deliver me up; 
40N 026:024 the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written  concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man  is delivered up! good it were for him if that man had not been  born.' 
40N 026:025 And Judas -- he who delivered him up -- answering said,  `Is it I, Rabbi?' He saith to him, `Thou hast said.' 
40N 026:026 And while they were eating, Jesus having taken the bread,  and having blessed, did brake, and was giving to the disciples,  and said, `Take, eat, this is my body;' 
40N 026:027 and having taken the cup, and having given thanks, he gave  to them, saying, `Drink ye of it -- all; 
40N 026:028 for this is my blood of the new covenant, that for many is  being poured out -- to remission of sins; 
40N 026:029 and I say to you, that I may not drink henceforth on this  produce of the vine, till that day when I may drink it with you  new in the reign of my Father.' 
40N 026:030 And having sung a hymn, they went forth to the mount of  the Olives; 
40N 026:031 then saith Jesus to them, `All ye shall be stumbled at me  this night; for it hath been written, I will smite the  shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad; 
40N 026:032 but, after my having risen, I will go before you to  Galilee.' 
40N 026:033 And Peter answering said to him, `Even if all shall be  stumbled at thee, I will never be stumbled.' 
40N 026:034 Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that, this  night, before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me.' 
40N 026:035 Peter saith to him, `Even if it may be necessary for me to  die with thee, I will not deny thee;' in like manner also said  all the disciples. 
40N 026:036 Then come with them doth Jesus to a place called  Gethsemane, and he saith to the disciples, `Sit ye here, till  having gone away, I shall pray yonder.' 
40N 026:037 And having taken Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, he  began to be sorrowful, and to be very heavy; 
40N 026:038 then saith he to them, `Exceedingly sorrowful is my soul  -- unto death; abide ye here, and watch with me.' 
40N 026:039 And having gone forward a little, he fell on his face,  praying, and saying, `My Father, if it be possible, let this  cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou.' 
40N 026:040 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them  sleeping, and he saith to Peter, `So! ye were not able one hour  to watch with me! 
40N 026:041 watch, and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation:  the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' 
40N 026:042 Again, a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying,  `My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink  it, Thy will be done;' 
40N 026:043 and having come, he findeth them again sleeping, for their  eyes were heavy. 
40N 026:044 And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed a  third time, saying the same word; 
40N 026:045 then cometh he unto his disciples, and saith to them,  `Sleep on henceforth, and rest! lo, the hour hath come nigh,  and the Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of sinners. 
40N 026:046 Rise, let us go; lo, he hath come nigh who is delivering  me up.' 
40N 026:047 And while he is yet speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve  did come, and with him a great multitude, with swords and  sticks, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 
40N 026:048 And he who did deliver him up did give them a sign,  saying, `Whomsoever I will kiss, it is he: lay hold on him;' 
40N 026:049 and immediately, having come to Jesus, he said, `Hail,  Rabbi,' and kissed him; 
40N 026:050 and Jesus said to him, `Comrade, for what art thou  present?' Then having come near, they laid hands on Jesus, and  took hold on him. 
40N 026:051 And lo, one of those with Jesus, having stretched forth  the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the  chief priest, he took off his ear. 
40N 026:052 Then saith Jesus to him, `Turn back thy sword to its  place; for all who did take the sword, by the sword shall  perish; 
40N 026:053 dost thou think that I am not able now to call upon my  Father, and He will place beside me more than twelve legions of  messengers? 
40N 026:054 how then may the Writings be fulfilled, that thus it  behoveth to happen?' 
40N 026:055 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, `As against a  robber ye did come forth, with swords and sticks, to take me!  daily with you I was sitting teaching in the temple, and ye did  not lay hold on me; 
40N 026:056 but all this hath come to pass, that the Writings of the  prophets may be fulfilled;' then all the disciples, having left  him, fled. 
40N 026:057 And those laying hold on Jesus led [him] away unto  Caiaphas the chief priest, where the scribes and the elders  were gathered together, 
40N 026:058 and Peter was following him afar off, unto the court of  the chief priest, and having gone in within, he was sitting  with the officers, to see the end. 
40N 026:059 And the chief priests, and the elders, and all the  council, were seeking false witness against Jesus, that they  might put him to death, 
40N 026:060 and they did not find; and many false witnesses having  come near, they did not find; and at last two false witnesses  having come near, 
40N 026:061 said, `This one said, I am able to throw down the  sanctuary of God, and after three days to build it.' 
40N 026:062 And the chief priest having stood up, said to him,  `Nothing thou dost answer! what do these witness against thee? 
40N 026:063 and Jesus was silent. And the chief priest answering said  to him, `I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou mayest say  to us, if thou art the Christ -- the Son of God.' 
40N 026:064 Jesus saith to him, `Thou hast said; nevertheless I say to  you, hereafter ye shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right  hand of the power, and coming upon the clouds, of the heaven.' 
40N 026:065 Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, -- `He  hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now  ye heard his evil speaking; 
40N 026:066 what think ye?' and they answering said, `He is worthy of  death.' 
40N 026:067 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him, and others  did slap, 
40N 026:068 saying, `Declare to us, O Christ, who he is that struck  thee?' 
40N 026:069 And Peter without was sitting in the court, and there came  near to him a certain maid, saying, `And thou wast with Jesus  of Galilee!' 
40N 026:070 And he denied before all, saying, `I have not known what  thou sayest.' 
40N 026:071 And he having gone forth to the porch, another female saw  him, and saith to those there, `And this one was with Jesus of  Nazareth;' 
40N 026:072 and again did he deny with an oath -- `I have not known  the man.' 
40N 026:073 And after a little those standing near having come, said  to Peter, `Truly thou also art of them, for even thy speech  doth make thee manifest.' 
40N 026:074 Then began he to anathematise, and to swear -- `I have not  known the man;' and immediately did a cock crow, 
40N 026:075 and Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, he having said  to him -- `Before cock-crowing, thrice thou wilt deny me;' and  having gone without, he did weep bitterly. 
40N 027:001 And morning having come, all the chief priests and the  elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so as to put  him to death; 
40N 027:002 and having bound him, they did lead away, and delivered him  up to Pontius Pilate, the governor. 
40N 027:003 Then Judas -- he who delivered him up -- having seen that  he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty  silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying, 
40N 027:004 `I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they  said, `What -- to us? thou shalt see!' 
40N 027:005 and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he  departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself. 
40N 027:006 And the chief priests having taken the silverlings, said,  `It is not lawful to put them to the treasury, seeing it is the  price of blood;' 
40N 027:007 and having taken counsel, they bought with them the field  of the potter, for the burial of strangers; 
40N 027:008 therefore was that field called, `Field of blood,' unto  this day. 
40N 027:009 Then was fulfilled that spoken through Jeremiah the  prophet, saying, `And I took the thirty silverlings, the price  of him who hath been priced, whom they of the sons of Israel  did price, 
40N 027:010 and gave them for the field of the potter, as the Lord did  appoint to me.' 
40N 027:011 And Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor did  question him, saying, `Art thou the king of the Jews!' And  Jesus said to him, `Thou sayest.' 
40N 027:012 And in his being accused by the chief priests and the  elders, he did not answer any thing, 
40N 027:013 then saith Pilate to him, `Dost thou not hear how many  things they witness against thee?' 
40N 027:014 And he did not answer him, not even to one word, so that  the governor did wonder greatly. 
40N 027:015 And at the feast the governor had been accustomed to  release one to the multitude, a prisoner, whom they willed, 
40N 027:016 and they had then a noted prisoner, called Barabbas, 
40N 027:017 they therefore having been gathered together, Pilate said  to them, `Whom will ye I shall release to you? Barabbas or  Jesus who is called Christ?' 
40N 027:018 for he had known that because of envy they had delivered  him up. 
40N 027:019 And as he is sitting on the tribunal, his wife sent unto  him, saying, `Nothing -- to thee and to that righteous one, for  many things did I suffer to-day in a dream because of him.' 
40N 027:020 And the chief priests and the elders did persuade the  multitudes that they might ask for themselves Barabbas, and  might destroy Jesus; 
40N 027:021 and the governor answering said to them, `Which of the two  will ye [that] I shall release to you?' And they said,  `Barabbas.' 
40N 027:022 Pilate saith to them, `What then shall I do with Jesus who  is called Christ?' They all say to him, `Let be crucified!' 
40N 027:023 And the governor said, `Why, what evil did he?' and they  were crying out the more, saying, `Let be crucified.' 
40N 027:024 And Pilate having seen that it profiteth nothing, but  rather a tumult is made, having taken water, he did wash the  hands before the multitude, saying, `I am innocent from the  blood of this righteous one; ye -- ye shall see;' 
40N 027:025 and all the people answering said, `His blood [is] upon  us, and upon our children!' 
40N 027:026 Then did he release to them Barabbas, and having scourged  Jesus, he delivered [him] up that he may be crucified; 
40N 027:027 then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to  the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band; 
40N 027:028 and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson  cloak, 
40N 027:029 and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put [it]  on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled  before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of  the Jews.' 
40N 027:030 And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were  smiting on his head; 
40N 027:031 and when they had mocked him, they took off from him the  cloak, and put on him his own garments, and led him away to  crucify [him]. 
40N 027:032 And coming forth, they found a man, a Cyrenian, by name  Simon: him they impressed that he might bear his cross; 
40N 027:033 and having come to a place called Golgotha, that is called  Place of a Skull, 
40N 027:034 they gave him to drink vinegar mixed with gall, and having  tasted, he would not drink. 
40N 027:035 And having crucified him, they divided his garments,  casting a lot, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken by  the prophet, `They divided my garments to themselves, and over  my vesture they cast a lot;' 
40N 027:036 and sitting down, they were watching him there, 
40N 027:037 and they put up over his head, his accusation written,  `This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.' 
40N 027:038 Then crucified with him are two robbers, one on the right  hand, and one on the left, 
40N 027:039 and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging  their heads, 
40N 027:040 and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary,  and in three days building [it], save thyself; if Son thou art  of God, come down from the cross.' 
40N 027:041 And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with  the scribes and elders, said, 
40N 027:042 `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be  King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we  will believe him; 
40N 027:043 he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He  wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;' 
40N 027:044 with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with  him, were reproaching him. 
40N 027:045 And from the sixth hour darkness came over all the land  unto the ninth hour, 
40N 027:046 and about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a great  voice, saying, `Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, `My God,  my God, why didst Thou forsake me?' 
40N 027:047 And certain of those standing there having heard, said --  `Elijah he doth call;' 
40N 027:048 and immediately, one of them having run, and having taken  a spunge, having filled [it] with vinegar, and having put [it]  on a reed, was giving him to drink, 
40N 027:049 but the rest said, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth  come -- about to save him.' 
40N 027:050 And Jesus having again cried with a great voice, yielded  the spirit; 
40N 027:051 and lo, the vail of the sanctuary was rent in two from top  unto bottom, and the earth did quake, and the rocks were rent, 
40N 027:052 and the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints  who have fallen asleep, arose, 
40N 027:053 and having come forth out of the tombs after his rising,  they went into the holy city, and appeared to many. 
40N 027:054 And the centurion, and those with him watching Jesus,  having seen the earthquake, and the things that were done, were  exceedingly afraid, saying, `Truly this was God's Son.' 
40N 027:055 And there were there many women beholding from afar, who  did follow Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him, 
40N 027:056 among whom was Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of  James and of Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. 
40N 027:057 And evening having come, there came a rich man, from  Arimathea, named Joseph, who also himself was discipled to  Jesus, 
40N 027:058 he having gone near to Pilate, asked for himself the body  of Jesus; then Pilate commanded the body to be given back. 
40N 027:059 And having taken the body, Joseph wrapped it in clean  linen, 
40N 027:060 and laid it in his new tomb, that he hewed in the rock,  and having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he  went away; 
40N 027:061 and there were there Mary the Magdalene, and the other  Mary, sitting over-against the sepulchre. 
40N 027:062 And on the morrow that is after the preparation, were  gathered together the chief priests, and the Pharisees, unto  Pilate, 
40N 027:063 saying, `Sir, we have remembered that that deceiver said  while yet living, After three days I do rise; 
40N 027:064 command, then, the sepulchre to be made secure till the  third day, lest his disciples, having come by night, may steal  him away, and may say to the people, He rose from the dead, and  the last deceit shall be worse than the first.' 
40N 027:065 And Pilate said to them, `Ye have a watch, go away, make  secure -- as ye have known;' 
40N 027:066 and they, having gone, did make the sepulchre secure,  having sealed the stone, together with the watch. 
40N 028:001 And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the  first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other  Mary, to see the sepulchre, 
40N 028:002 and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of  the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll  away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it, 
40N 028:003 and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing  white as snow, 
40N 028:004 and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they  became as dead men. 
40N 028:005 And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not  ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye  seek; 
40N 028:006 he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the  place where the Lord was lying; 
40N 028:007 and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he  rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee,  there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.' 
40N 028:008 And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and  great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples; 
40N 028:009 and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo,  Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid  hold of his feet, and did bow to him. 
40N 028:010 Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to  my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they  shall see me.' 
40N 028:011 And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch  having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the  things that happened, 
40N 028:012 and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel  also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers, 
40N 028:013 saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night,  stole him -- we being asleep; 
40N 028:014 and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade  him, and you keep free from anxiety.' 
40N 028:015 And they, having received the money, did as they were  taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this  day. 
40N 028:016 And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount  where Jesus appointed them, 
40N 028:017 and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did  waver. 
40N 028:018 And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given  to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; 
40N 028:019 having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing  them -- to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the  Holy Spirit, 
40N 028:020 teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,)  and lo, I am with you all the days -- till the full end of the  age.' 
41N 001:001 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God. 
41N 001:002 As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My  messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before  thee,' -- 
41N 001:003 `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the  way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' -- 
41N 001:004 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a  baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, 
41N 001:005 and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea,  and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the  river Jordan, confessing their sins. 
41N 001:006 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin  around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field, 
41N 001:007 and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come -- who is mightier  than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped  down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals; 
41N 001:008 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize  you with the Holy Spirit.' 
41N 001:009 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth  of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan; 
41N 001:010 and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the  heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon  him; 
41N 001:011 and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son --  the Beloved, in whom I did delight.' 
41N 001:012 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the  wilderness, 
41N 001:013 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being  tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the  messengers were ministering to him. 
41N 001:014 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee,  proclaiming the good news of the reign of God, 
41N 001:015 and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign  of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good  news.' 
41N 001:016 And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and  Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were  fishers, 
41N 001:017 and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make  you to become fishers of men;' 
41N 001:018 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him. 
41N 001:019 And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of  Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat  refitting the nets, 
41N 001:020 and immediately he called them, and, having left their  father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went  away after him. 
41N 001:021 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the  sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching, 
41N 001:022 and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was  teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 
41N 001:023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean  spirit, and he cried out, 
41N 001:024 saying, `Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the  Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who  thou art -- the Holy One of God.' 
41N 001:025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth  out of him,' 
41N 001:026 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried  with a great voice, came forth out of him, 
41N 001:027 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves,  saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with  authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey  him!' 
41N 001:028 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the  region, round about, of Galilee. 
41N 001:029 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue,  they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and  John, 
41N 001:030 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and  immediately they tell him about her, 
41N 001:031 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of  her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was  ministering to them. 
41N 001:032 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought  unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs, 
41N 001:033 and the whole city was gathered together near the door, 
41N 001:034 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and  many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to  speak, because they knew him. 
41N 001:035 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went  forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying; 
41N 001:036 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him, 
41N 001:037 and having found him, they say to him, -- `All do seek  thee;' 
41N 001:038 and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that  there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.' 
41N 001:039 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee,  and is casting out the demons, 
41N 001:040 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and  kneeling to him, and saying to him -- `If thou mayest will,  thou art able to cleanse me.' 
41N 001:041 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having  stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I  will; be thou cleansed;' 
41N 001:042 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away  from him, and he was cleansed. 
41N 001:043 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him  forth, 
41N 001:044 and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one,  but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy  cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.' 
41N 001:045 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to  spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to  enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and  they were coming unto him from every quarter. 
41N 002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum, after [some] days, and  it was heard that he is in the house, 
41N 002:002 and immediately many were gathered together, so that there  was no more room, not even at the door, and he was speaking to  them the word. 
41N 002:003 And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four, 
41N 002:004 and not being able to come near to him because of the  multitude, they uncovered the roof where he was, and, having  broken [it] up, they let down the couch on which the paralytic  was lying, 
41N 002:005 and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic,  `Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.' 
41N 002:006 And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and  reasoning in their hearts, 
41N 002:007 `Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to  forgive sins except one -- God?' 
41N 002:008 And immediately Jesus, having known in his spirit that they  thus reason in themselves, said to them, `Why these things  reason ye in your hearts? 
41N 002:009 which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been  forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and  walk? 
41N 002:010 `And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority  on the earth to forgive sins -- (he saith to the paralytic) -- 
41N 002:011 I say to thee, Rise, and take up thy couch, and go away to  thy house;' 
41N 002:012 and he rose immediately, and having taken up the couch, he  went forth before all, so that all were astonished, and do  glorify God, saying -- `Never thus did we see.' 
41N 002:013 And he went forth again by the sea, and all the multitude  was coming unto him, and he was teaching them, 
41N 002:014 and passing by, he saw Levi of Alpheus sitting at the  tax-office, and saith to him, `Be following me,' and he, having  risen, did follow him. 
41N 002:015 And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) in his  house, that many tax-gatherers and sinners were reclining (at  meat) with Jesus and his disciples, for there were many, and  they followed him. 
41N 002:016 And the scribes and the Pharisees, having seen him eating  with the tax-gatherers and sinners, said to his disciples, `Why  -- that with the tax-gatherers and sinners he doth eat and  drink?' 
41N 002:017 And Jesus, having heard, saith to them, `They who are  strong have no need of a physician, but they who are ill; I  came not to call righteous men, but sinners to reformation.' 
41N 002:018 And the disciples of John and those of the Pharisees were  fasting, and they come and say to him, `Wherefore do the  disciples of John and those of the Pharisees fast, and thy  disciples do not fast?' 
41N 002:019 And Jesus said to them, `Are the sons of the bride-chamber  able, while the bridegroom is with them, to fast? so long time  as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to  fast; 
41N 002:020 but days shall come when the bridegroom may be taken from  them, and then they shall fast -- in those days. 
41N 002:021 `And no one a patch of undressed cloth doth sew on an old  garment, and if not -- the new filling it up doth take from the  old and the rent doth become worse; 
41N 002:022 and no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if not --  the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is poured out,  and the skins will be destroyed; but new wine into new skins is  to be put.' 
41N 002:023 And it came to pass -- he is going along on the sabbaths  through the corn-fields -- and his disciples began to make a  way, plucking the ears, 
41N 002:024 and the Pharisees said to him, `Lo, why do they on the  sabbaths that which is not lawful?' 
41N 002:025 And he said to them, `Did ye never read what David did,  when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him? 
41N 002:026 how he went into the house of God, (at `Abiathar the chief  priest,') and the loaves of the presentation did eat, which it  is not lawful to eat, except to the priests, and he gave also  to those who were with him?' 
41N 002:027 And he said to them, `The sabbath for man was made, not man  for the sabbath, 
41N 002:028 so that the son of man is lord also of the sabbath.' 
41N 003:001 And he entered again into the synagogue, and there was there  a man having the hand withered, 
41N 003:002 and they were watching him, whether on the sabbaths he will  heal him, that they might accuse him. 
41N 003:003 And he saith to the man having the hand withered, `Rise up  in the midst.' 
41N 003:004 And he saith to them, `Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do  good, or to do evil? life to save, or to kill?' but they were  silent. 
41N 003:005 And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved  for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch  forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was  restored whole as the other; 
41N 003:006 and the Pharisees having gone forth, immediately, with the  Herodians, were taking counsel against him how they might  destroy him. 
41N 003:007 And Jesus withdrew with his disciples unto the sea, and a  great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judea, 
41N 003:008 and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and beyond the Jordan;  and they about Tyre and Sidon -- a great multitude -- having  heard how great things he was doing, came unto him. 
41N 003:009 And he said to his disciples that a little boat may wait on  him, because of the multitude, that they may not press upon  him, 
41N 003:010 for he did heal many, so that they threw themselves on him,  in order to touch him -- as many as had plagues; 
41N 003:011 and the unclean spirits, when they were seeing him, were  falling down before him, and were crying, saying -- `Thou art  the Son of God;' 
41N 003:012 and many times he was charging them that they might not  make him manifest. 
41N 003:013 And he goeth up to the mountain, and doth call near whom he  willed, and they went away to him; 
41N 003:014 and he appointed twelve, that they may be with him, and  that he may send them forth to preach, 
41N 003:015 and to have power to heal the sicknesses, and to cast out  the demons. 
41N 003:016 And he put on Simon the name Peter; 
41N 003:017 and James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, and he  put on them names -- Boanerges, that is, `Sons of thunder;' 
41N 003:018 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and  Thomas, and James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the  Cananite, 
41N 003:019 and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up; and they  come into a house. 
41N 003:020 And come together again doth a multitude, so that they are  not able even to eat bread; 
41N 003:021 and his friends having heard, went forth to lay hold on  him, for they said that he was beside himself, 
41N 003:022 and the scribes who [are] from Jerusalem having come down,  said -- `He hath Beelzeboul,' and -- `By the ruler of the  demons he doth cast out the demons.' 
41N 003:023 And, having called them near, in similes he said to them,  `How is the Adversary able to cast out the Adversary? 
41N 003:024 and if a kingdom against itself be divided, that kingdom  cannot be made to stand; 
41N 003:025 and if a house against itself be divided, that house cannot  be made to stand; 
41N 003:026 and if the Adversary did rise against himself, and hath  been divided, he cannot be made to stand, but hath an end. 
41N 003:027 `No one is able the vessels of the strong man -- having  entered into his house -- to spoil, if first he may not bind  the strong man, and then his house he will spoil. 
41N 003:028 `Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven  to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might  speak evil, 
41N 003:029 but whoever may speak evil in regard to the Holy Spirit  hath not forgiveness -- to the age, but is in danger of  age-during judgment;' 
41N 003:030 because they said, `He hath an unclean spirit.' 
41N 003:031 Then come do his brethren and mother, and standing without,  they sent unto him, calling him, 
41N 003:032 and a multitude was sitting about him, and they said to  him, `Lo, thy mother and thy brethren without do seek thee.' 
41N 003:033 And he answered them, saying, `Who is my mother, or my  brethren?' 
41N 003:034 And having looked round in a circle to those sitting about  him, he saith, `Lo, my mother and my brethren! 
41N 003:035 for whoever may do the will of God, he is my brother, and  my sister, and mother.' 
41N 004:001 And again he began to teach by the sea, and there was  gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he, having gone  into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near  the sea, on the land, 
41N 004:002 and he taught them many things in similes, and he said to  them in his teaching: 
41N 004:003 `Hearken, lo, the sower went forth to sow; 
41N 004:004 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way,  and the fowls of the heaven did come and devour it; 
41N 004:005 and other fell upon the rocky ground, where it had not much  earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of not having  depth of earth, 
41N 004:006 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of  not having root it did wither; 
41N 004:007 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns did come  up, and choke it, and fruit it gave not; 
41N 004:008 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit,  coming up and increasing, and it bare, one thirty-fold, and one  sixty, and one an hundred.' 
41N 004:009 And he said to them, `He who is having ears to hear -- let  him hear.' 
41N 004:010 And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve,  did ask him of the simile, 
41N 004:011 and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the  secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in  similes are all the things done; 
41N 004:012 that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they  may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins  may be forgiven them.' 
41N 004:013 And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and  how shall ye know all the similes? 
41N 004:014 He who is sowing doth sow the word; 
41N 004:015 and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and  whenever they may hear, immediately cometh the Adversary, and  he taketh away the word that hath been sown in their hearts. 
41N 004:016 `And these are they, in like manner, who on the rocky  ground are sown: who, whenever they may hear the word,  immediately with joy do receive it, 
41N 004:017 and have not root in themselves, but are temporary;  afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the  word, immediately they are stumbled. 
41N 004:018 `And these are they who toward the thorns are sown: these  are they who are hearing the word, 
41N 004:019 and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the  riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering  in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. 
41N 004:020 `And these are they who on the good ground have been sown:  who do hear the word, and receive, and do bear fruit, one  thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one an hundred.' 
41N 004:021 And he said to them, `Doth the lamp come that under the  measure it may be put, or under the couch -- not that it may be  put on the lamp-stand? 
41N 004:022 for there is not anything hid that may not be manifested,  nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light. 
41N 004:023 If any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.' 
41N 004:024 And he said to them, `Take heed what ye hear; in what  measure ye measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you who  hear it shall be added; 
41N 004:025 for whoever may have, there shall be given to him, and  whoever hath not, also that which he hath shall be taken from  him.' 
41N 004:026 And he said, `Thus is the reign of God: as if a man may  cast the seed on the earth, 
41N 004:027 and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed  spring up and grow, he hath not known how; 
41N 004:028 for of itself doth the earth bear fruit, first a blade,  afterwards an ear, afterwards full corn in the ear; 
41N 004:029 and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he  doth send forth the sickle, because the harvest hath come.' 
41N 004:030 And he said, `To what may we liken the reign of God, or in  what simile may we compare it? 
41N 004:031 As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on  the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth; 
41N 004:032 and whenever it may be sown, it cometh up, and doth become  greater than any of the herbs, and doth make great branches, so  that under its shade the fowls of the heaven are able to rest.' 
41N 004:033 And with many such similes he was speaking to them the  word, as they were able to hear, 
41N 004:034 and without a simile he was not speaking to them, and by  themselves, to his disciples he was expounding all. 
41N 004:035 And he saith to them on that day, evening having come, `We  may pass over to the other side;' 
41N 004:036 and having let away the multitude, they take him up as he  was in the boat, and other little boats also were with him. 
41N 004:037 And there cometh a great storm of wind, and the waves were  beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled, 
41N 004:038 and he himself was upon the stern, upon the pillow  sleeping, and they wake him up, and say to him, `Teacher, art  thou not caring that we perish?' 
41N 004:039 And having waked up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the  sea, `Peace, be stilled;' and the wind did lull, and there was  a great calm: 
41N 004:040 and he said to them, `Why are ye so fearful? how have ye  not faith?' 
41N 004:041 and they feared a great fear, and said one to another,  `Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea do obey  him?' 
41N 005:001 And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of  the Gadarenes, 
41N 005:002 and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there  met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 
41N 005:003 who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains  was any one able to bind him, 
41N 005:004 because that he many times with fetters and chains had been  bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the  fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him, 
41N 005:005 and always, night and day, in the mountains, and in the tombs  he was, crying and cutting himself with stones. 
41N 005:006 And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before  him, 
41N 005:007 and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me  and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by  God, mayest thou not afflict me!' 
41N 005:008 (for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the  man,') 
41N 005:009 and he was questioning him, `What [is] thy name?' and he  answered, saying, `Legion [is] my name, because we are many;' 
41N 005:010 and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them  out of the region. 
41N 005:011 And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of  swine feeding, 
41N 005:012 and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to  the swine, that into them we may enter;' 
41N 005:013 and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come  forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the  herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were  about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea. 
41N 005:014 And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city,  and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that  hath been done; 
41N 005:015 and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting,  and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion --  and they were afraid; 
41N 005:016 and those having seen [it], declared to them how it had  come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine; 
41N 005:017 and they began to call upon him to go away from their  borders. 
41N 005:018 And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling  on him that he may be with him, 
41N 005:019 and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to  thy house, unto thine own [friends], and tell them how great  things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee; 
41N 005:020 and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis  how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering. 
41N 005:021 And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other  side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was  near the sea, 
41N 005:022 and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue,  by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet, 
41N 005:023 and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little  daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou  mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and  she shall live;' 
41N 005:024 and he went away with him. And there was following him a  great multitude, and they were thronging him, 
41N 005:025 and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years, 
41N 005:026 and many things having suffered under many physicians, and  having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but  rather having come to the worse, 
41N 005:027 having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude  behind, she touched his garment, 
41N 005:028 for she said -- `If even his garments I may touch, I shall  be saved;' 
41N 005:029 and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and  she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague. 
41N 005:030 And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of  him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude,  said, `Who did touch my garments?' 
41N 005:031 and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude  thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!' 
41N 005:032 And he was looking round to see her who did this, 
41N 005:033 and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing  what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told  him all the truth, 
41N 005:034 and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee;  go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.' 
41N 005:035 As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the  synagogue's [house, certain], saying -- `Thy daughter did die,  why still dost thou harass the Teacher?' 
41N 005:036 And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is  spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid,  only believe.' 
41N 005:037 And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except  Peter, and James, and John the brother of James; 
41N 005:038 and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue,  and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing; 
41N 005:039 and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a  tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep; 
41N 005:040 and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all  forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and  those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying, 
41N 005:041 and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her,  `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to  thee), arise.' 
41N 005:042 And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she  was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great  amazement, 
41N 005:043 and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing,  and he said that there be given to her to eat. 
41N 006:001 And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and  his disciples do follow him, 
41N 006:002 and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach,  and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one  these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that  also such mighty works through his hands are done? 
41N 006:003 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 being stumbled at him. 
41N 006:004 And Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor,  except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his  own house;' 
41N 006:005 and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a  few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them]; 
41N 006:006 and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going  round the villages, in a circle, teaching, 
41N 006:007 and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them  forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the  unclean spirits, 
41N 006:008 and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the  way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in  the girdle, 
41N 006:009 but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two  coats. 
41N 006:010 And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house,  there remain till ye may depart thence, 
41N 006:011 and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out  thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a  testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more  tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for  that city.' 
41N 006:012 And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might  reform, 
41N 006:013 and many demons they were casting out, and they were  anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them]. 
41N 006:014 And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and  he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and  because of this the mighty powers are working in him.' 
41N 006:015 Others said -- `It is Elijah,' and others said -- `It is a  prophet, or as one of the prophets.' 
41N 006:016 And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead --  John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.' 
41N 006:017 For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John,  and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of  Philip his brother, because he married her, 
41N 006:018 for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have  the wife of thy brother;' 
41N 006:019 and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing  to kill him, and was not able, 
41N 006:020 for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and  holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him,  was doing many things, and hearing him gladly. 
41N 006:021 And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his  birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the  chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee, 
41N 006:022 and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and  having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining  (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me  whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,' 
41N 006:023 and he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will  give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.' 
41N 006:024 And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall  I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the  Baptist;' 
41N 006:025 and having come in immediately with haste unto the king,  she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently,  upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.' 
41N 006:026 And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths  and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her  away, 
41N 006:027 and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did  command his head to be brought, 
41N 006:028 and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought  his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the  damsel did give it to her mother; 
41N 006:029 and having heard, his disciples came and took up his  corpse, and laid it in the tomb. 
41N 006:030 And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they  told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things  they taught, 
41N 006:031 and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert  place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going  were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity, 
41N 006:032 and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by  themselves. 
41N 006:033 And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised  him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went  before them, and came together to him, 
41N 006:034 and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was  moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not  having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things. 
41N 006:035 And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come  near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is  now advanced, 
41N 006:036 let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding  fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for  what they may eat they have not.' 
41N 006:037 And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and  they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred  denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?' 
41N 006:038 And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and  see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.' 
41N 006:039 And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon  the green grass, 
41N 006:040 and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties. 
41N 006:041 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having  looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and  was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them,  and the two fishes divided he to all, 
41N 006:042 and they did all eat, and were filled, 
41N 006:043 and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full,  and of the fishes, 
41N 006:044 and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand  men. 
41N 006:045 And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the  boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till  he may let the multitude away, 
41N 006:046 and having taken leave of them, he went away to the  mountain to pray. 
41N 006:047 And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the  sea, and he alone upon the land; 
41N 006:048 and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was  against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth  come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them. 
41N 006:049 And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it]  to be an apparition, and cried out, 
41N 006:050 for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he  spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he],  be not afraid.' 
41N 006:051 And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled,  and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and  were wondering, 
41N 006:052 for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their  heart hath been hard. 
41N 006:053 And having passed over, they came upon the land of  Gennesaret, and drew to the shore, 
41N 006:054 and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately  having recognised him, 
41N 006:055 having run about through all that region round about, they  began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they  were hearing that he is, 
41N 006:056 and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or  fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and  were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the  fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were  saved. 
41N 007:001 And gathered together unto him are the Pharisees, and  certain of the scribes, having come from Jerusalem, 
41N 007:002 and having seen certain of his disciples with defiled hands  -- that is, unwashed -- eating bread, they found fault; 
41N 007:003 for the Pharisees, and all the Jews, if they do not wash the  hands to the wrist, do not eat, holding the tradition of the  elders, 
41N 007:004 and, [coming] from the market-place, if they do not baptize  themselves, they do not eat; and many other things there are  that they received to hold, baptisms of cups, and pots, and  brazen vessels, and couches. 
41N 007:005 Then question him do the Pharisees and the scribes,  `Wherefore do thy disciples not walk according to the  tradition of the elders, but with unwashed hands do eat the  bread?' 
41N 007:006 and he answering said to them -- `Well did Isaiah prophesy  concerning you, hypocrites, as it hath been written, This  people with the lips doth honor Me, and their heart is far from  Me; 
41N 007:007 and in vain do they worship Me, teaching teachings, commands  of men; 
41N 007:008 for, having put away the command of God, ye hold the  tradition of men, baptisms of pots and cups; and many other  such like things ye do.' 
41N 007:009 And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God  that your tradition ye may keep; 
41N 007:010 for Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, He  who is speaking evil of father or mother -- let him die the  death; 
41N 007:011 and ye say, If a man may say to father or to mother, Korban  (that is, a gift), [is] whatever thou mayest be profited out of  mine, 
41N 007:012 and no more do ye suffer him to do anything for his father  or for his mother, 
41N 007:013 setting aside the word of God for your tradition that ye  delivered; and many such like things ye do.' 
41N 007:014 And having called near all the multitude, he said to them,  `Hearken to me, ye all, and understand; 
41N 007:015 there is nothing from without the man entering into him  that is able to defile him, but the things coming out from him,  those are the things defiling the man. 
41N 007:016 If any hath ears to hear -- let him hear.' 
41N 007:017 And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his  disciples were questioning him about the simile, 
41N 007:018 and he saith to them, `So also ye are without  understanding! Do ye not perceive that nothing from without  entering into the man is able to defile him? 
41N 007:019 because it doth not enter into his heart, but into the  belly, and into the drain it doth go out, purifying all the  meats.' 
41N 007:020 And he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that  doth defile the man; 
41N 007:021 for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil  reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders, 
41N 007:022 thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an  evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness; 
41N 007:023 all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile  the man.' 
41N 007:024 And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders  of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he  wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid, 
41N 007:025 for a woman having heard about him, whose little daughter  had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at his feet, -- 
41N 007:026 and the woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phenician by nation --  and was asking him, that the demon he may cast forth out of her  daughter. 
41N 007:027 And Jesus said to her, `Suffer first the children to be  filled, for it is not good to take the children's bread, and  to cast [it] to the little dogs.' 
41N 007:028 And she answered and saith to him, `Yes, sir; for the  little dogs also under the table do eat of the children's  crumbs.' 
41N 007:029 And he said to her, `Because of this word go; the demon  hath gone forth out of thy daughter;' 
41N 007:030 and having come away to her house, she found the demon gone  forth, and the daughter laid upon the couch. 
41N 007:031 And again, having gone forth from the coasts of Tyre and  Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of  the coasts of Decapolis, 
41N 007:032 and they bring to him a deaf, stuttering man, and they call  on him that he may put the hand on him. 
41N 007:033 And having taken him away from the multitude by himself, he  put his fingers to his ears, and having spit, he touched his  tongue, 
41N 007:034 and having looked to the heaven, he sighed, and saith to  him, `Ephphatha,' that is, `Be thou opened;' 
41N 007:035 and immediately were his ears opened, and the string of his  tongue was loosed, and he was speaking plain. 
41N 007:036 And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more  he was charging them, the more abundantly they were  proclaiming [it], 
41N 007:037 and they were being beyond measure astonished, saying,  `Well hath he done all things; both the deaf he doth make to  hear, and the dumb to speak.' 
41N 008:001 In those days the multitude being very great, and not having  what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples,  saith to them, 
41N 008:002 `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three  days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may  eat; 
41N 008:003 and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they  will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.' 
41N 008:004 And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be  able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?' 
41N 008:005 And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?' and  they said, `Seven.' 
41N 008:006 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground,  and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he  brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before  [them]; and they did set before the multitude. 
41N 008:007 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said  to set them also before [them]; 
41N 008:008 and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that  which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets; 
41N 008:009 and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them  away, 
41N 008:010 and immediately having entered into the boat with his  disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha, 
41N 008:011 and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with  him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him; 
41N 008:012 and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth  this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign  shall be given to this generation.' 
41N 008:013 And having left them, having entered again into the boat,  he went away to the other side; 
41N 008:014 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they  had nothing with them in the boat, 
41N 008:015 and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the  leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,' 
41N 008:016 and they were reasoning with one another, saying --  `Because we have no loaves.' 
41N 008:017 And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason,  because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor  understand, yet have ye your heart hardened? 
41N 008:018 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not  hear? and do ye not remember? 
41N 008:019 When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how  many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say  to him, `Twelve.' 
41N 008:020 `And when the seven to the four thousand, how many  hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said,  `Seven.' 
41N 008:021 And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?' 
41N 008:022 And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one  blind, and call upon him that he may touch him, 
41N 008:023 and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him  forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having  put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth  behold anything: 
41N 008:024 and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see  trees, walking.' 
41N 008:025 Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made  him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things  clearly, 
41N 008:026 and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the  village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.' 
41N 008:027 And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of  Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his  disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?' 
41N 008:028 And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah,  but others one of the prophets.' 
41N 008:029 And he saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?'  and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.' 
41N 008:030 And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one  about it, 
41N 008:031 and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to  suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and  chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three  days to rise again; 
41N 008:032 and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken  him aside, began to rebuke him, 
41N 008:033 and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples,  rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou  dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.' 
41N 008:034 And having called near the multitude, with his disciples,  he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him  disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me; 
41N 008:035 for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and  whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news'  sake, he shall save it; 
41N 008:036 for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole  world, and forfeit his life? 
41N 008:037 Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life? 
41N 008:038 for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this  adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be  ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father,  with the holy messengers.' 
41N 009:001 And he said to them, `Verily I say to you, That there are  certain of those standing here, who may not taste of death  till they see the reign of God having come in power.' 
41N 009:002 And after six days doth Jesus take Peter, and James, and  John, and bringeth them up to a high mount by themselves,  alone, and he was transfigured before them, 
41N 009:003 and his garments became glittering, white exceedingly, as  snow, so as a fuller upon the earth is not able to whiten  [them]. 
41N 009:004 And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were  talking with Jesus. 
41N 009:005 And Peter answering saith to Jesus, `Rabbi, it is good to  us to be here; and we may make three booths, for thee one, and  for Moses one, and for Elijah one:' 
41N 009:006 for he was not knowing what he might say, for they were  greatly afraid. 
41N 009:007 And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a  voice out of the cloud, saying, `This is My Son -- the  Beloved, hear ye him;' 
41N 009:008 and suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any  more, but Jesus only with themselves. 
41N 009:009 And as they are coming down from the mount, he charged them  that they may declare to no one the things that they saw,  except when the Son of Man may rise out of the dead; 
41N 009:010 and the thing they kept to themselves, questioning together  what the rising out of the dead is. 
41N 009:011 And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say  that Elijah it behoveth to come first. 
41N 009:012 And he answering said to them, `Elijah indeed, having come  first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written  concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and  be set at nought? 
41N 009:013 But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did  to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.' 
41N 009:014 And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great  multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them, 
41N 009:015 and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were  amazed, and running near, were saluting him. 
41N 009:016 And he questioned the scribes, `What dispute ye with them?' 
41N 009:017 and one out of the multitude answering said, `Teacher, I  brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit; 
41N 009:018 and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he  foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake  to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not  able.' 
41N 009:019 And he answering him, said, `O generation unbelieving, till  when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring  him unto me;' 
41N 009:020 and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him,  immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the  earth, was wallowing -- foaming. 
41N 009:021 And he questioned his father, `How long time is it since  this came to him?' and he said, `From childhood, 
41N 009:022 and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water,  that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do  anything, help us, having compassion on us.' 
41N 009:023 And Jesus said to him, `If thou art able to believe! all  things are possible to the one that is believing;' 
41N 009:024 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out,  with tears said, `I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.' 
41N 009:025 Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together,  rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, `Spirit -- dumb and  deaf -- I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou  mayest enter into him;' 
41N 009:026 and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he  became as dead, so that many said that he was dead, 
41N 009:027 but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and  he arose. 
41N 009:028 And he having come into the house, his disciples were  questioning him by himself -- `Why were we not able to cast it  forth?' 
41N 009:029 And he said to them, `This kind is able to come forth with  nothing except with prayer and fasting.' 
41N 009:030 And having gone forth thence, they were passing through  Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know, 
41N 009:031 for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them,  `The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and  they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he  shall rise,' 
41N 009:032 but they were not understanding the saying, and they were  afraid to question him. 
41N 009:033 And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was  questioning them, `What were ye reasoning in the way among  yourselves?' 
41N 009:034 and they were silent, for with one another they did reason  in the way who is greater; 
41N 009:035 and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to  them, `If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all,  and minister of all.' 
41N 009:036 And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them,  and having taken him in his arms, said to them, 
41N 009:037 `Whoever may receive one of such children in my name, doth  receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth not receive me,  but Him who sent me.' 
41N 009:038 And John did answer him, saying, `Teacher, we saw a certain  one in thy name casting out demons, who doth not follow us,  and we forbade him, because he doth not follow us.' 
41N 009:039 And Jesus said, `Forbid him not, for there is no one who  shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to  speak evil of me: 
41N 009:040 for he who is not against us is for us; 
41N 009:041 for whoever may give you to drink a cup of water in my  name, because ye are Christ's, verily I say to you, he may not  lose his reward; 
41N 009:042 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones  believing in me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged  about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea. 
41N 009:043 `And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it  is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having  the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire -- the  unquenchable -- 
41N 009:044 where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being  quenched. 
41N 009:045 `And if thy foot may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it  is better for thee to enter into the life lame, than having the  two feet to be cast to the gehenna, to the fire -- the  unquenchable -- 
41N 009:046 where there worm is not dying, and the fire is not being  quenched. 
41N 009:047 And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it  is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God,  than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire -- 
41N 009:048 where their worm is not dying, and the fire is not being  quenched; 
41N 009:049 for every one with fire shall be salted, and every  sacrifice with salt shall be salted. 
41N 009:050 The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in  what will ye season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have  peace in one another.' 
41N 010:001 And having risen thence, he doth come to the coasts of  Judea, through the other side of the Jordan, and again do  multitudes come together unto him, and, as he had been  accustomed, again he was teaching them. 
41N 010:002 And the Pharisees, having come near, questioned him, if it  is lawful for a husband to put away a wife, tempting him, 
41N 010:003 and he answering said to them, `What did Moses command  you?' 
41N 010:004 and they said, `Moses suffered to write a bill of divorce,  and to put away.' 
41N 010:005 And Jesus answering said to them, `For the stiffness of  your heart he wrote you this command, 
41N 010:006 but from the beginning of the creation, a male and a female  God did make them; 
41N 010:007 on this account shall a man leave his father and mother,  and shall cleave unto his wife, 
41N 010:008 and they shall be -- the two -- for one flesh; so that they  are no more two, but one flesh; 
41N 010:009 what therefore God did join together, let not man put  asunder.' 
41N 010:010 And in the house again his disciples of the same thing  questioned him, 
41N 010:011 and he saith to them, `Whoever may put away his wife, and  may marry another, doth commit adultery against her; 
41N 010:012 and if a woman may put away her husband, and is married to  another, she committeth adultery.' 
41N 010:013 And they were bringing to him children, that he might  touch them, and the disciples were rebuking those bringing  them, 
41N 010:014 and Jesus having seen, was much displeased, and he said to  them, `Suffer the children to come unto me, and forbid them  not, for of such is the reign of God; 
41N 010:015 verily I say to you, whoever may not receive the reign of  God, as a child -- he may not enter into it;' 
41N 010:016 and having taken them in his arms, having put [his] hands  upon them, he was blessing them. 
41N 010:017 And as he is going forth into the way, one having run and  having kneeled to him, was questioning him, `Good teacher,  what may I do, that life age-during I may inherit?' 
41N 010:018 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one  [is] good except One -- God; 
41N 010:019 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit  adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal,  Thou mayest not bear false witness, Thou mayest not defraud,  Honour thy father and mother.' 
41N 010:020 And he answering said to him, `Teacher, all these did I  keep from my youth.' 
41N 010:021 And Jesus having looked upon him, did love him, and said  to him, `One thing thou dost lack; go away, whatever thou hast  -- sell, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in  heaven, and come, be following me, having taken up the cross.' 
41N 010:022 And he -- gloomy at the word -- went away sorrowing, for  he was having many possessions. 
41N 010:023 And Jesus having looked round, saith to his disciples,  `How hardly shall they who have riches enter into the reign of  God!' 
41N 010:024 And the disciples were astonished at his words, and Jesus  again answering saith to them, `Children, how hard is it to  those trusting on the riches to enter into the reign of God! 
41N 010:025 It is easier for a camel through the eye of the needle to  enter, than for a rich man to enter into the reign of God.' 
41N 010:026 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying unto  themselves, `And who is able to be saved?' 
41N 010:027 And Jesus, having looked upon them, saith, `With men it is  impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with  God.' 
41N 010:028 And Peter began to say to him, `Lo, we left all, and we  followed thee.' 
41N 010:029 And Jesus answering said, `Verily I say to you, there is  no one who left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or  mother, or wife, or children, or fields, for my sake, and for  the good news', 
41N 010:030 who may not receive an hundredfold now in this time,  houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children,  and fields, with persecutions, and in the age that is coming,  life age-during; 
41N 010:031 and many first shall be last, and the last first.' 
41N 010:032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus  was going before them, and they were amazed, and following  they were afraid. And having again taken the twelve, he began  to tell them the things about to happen to him, 
41N 010:033 -- `Lo, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be  delivered to the chief priests, and to the scribes, and they  shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the  nations, 
41N 010:034 and they shall mock him, and scourge him, and spit on him,  and kill him, and the third day he shall rise again.' 
41N 010:035 And there come near to him James and John, the sons of  Zebedee, saying, `Teacher, we wish that whatever we may ask  for ourselves, thou mayest do for us;' 
41N 010:036 and he said to them, `What do ye wish me to do for you?' 
41N 010:037 and they said to him, `Grant to us that, one on thy right  hand and one on thy left, we may sit in thy glory;' 
41N 010:038 and Jesus said to them, `Ye have not known what ye ask;  are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of, and with the  baptism that I am baptized with -- to be baptized?' 
41N 010:039 And they said to him, `We are able;' and Jesus said to  them, `Of the cup indeed that I drink of, ye shall drink, and  with the baptism that I am baptized with, ye shall be  baptized; 
41N 010:040 but to sit on my right and on my left, is not mine to  give, but -- to those for whom it hath been prepared.' 
41N 010:041 And the ten having heard, began to be much displeased at  James and John, 
41N 010:042 but Jesus having called them near, saith to them, `Ye have  known that they who are considered to rule the nations do  exercise lordship over them, and their great ones do exercise  authority upon them; 
41N 010:043 but not so shall it be among you; but whoever may will to  become great among you, he shall be your minister, 
41N 010:044 and whoever of you may will to become first, he shall be  servant of all; 
41N 010:045 for even the Son of Man came not to be ministered to, but  to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.' 
41N 010:046 And they come to Jericho, and as he is going forth from  Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, a son of  Timaeus -- Bartimaeus the blind -- was sitting beside the way  begging, 
41N 010:047 and having heard that it is Jesus the Nazarene, he began  to cry out, and to say, `The Son of David -- Jesus! deal kindly  with me;' 
41N 010:048 and many were rebuking him, that he might keep silent, but  the more abundantly he cried out, `Son of David, deal kindly  with me.' 
41N 010:049 And Jesus having stood, he commanded him to be called, and  they call the blind man, saying to him, `Take courage, rise, he  doth call thee;' 
41N 010:050 and he, having cast away his garment, having risen, did  come unto Jesus. 
41N 010:051 And answering, Jesus saith to him, `What wilt thou I may  do to thee?' and the blind man said to him, `Rabboni, that I  may see again;' 
41N 010:052 and Jesus said to him, `Go, thy faith hath saved thee:'  and immediately he saw again, and was following Jesus in the  way. 
41N 011:001 And when they come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage, and  Bethany, unto the mount of the Olives, he sendeth forth two of  his disciples, 
41N 011:002 and saith to them, `Go away to the village that is  over-against you, and immediately, entering into it, ye shall  find a colt tied, on which no one of men hath sat, having  loosed it, bring [it]: 
41N 011:003 and if any one may say to you, Why do ye this? say ye that  the lord hath need of it, and immediately he will send it  hither.' 
41N 011:004 And they went away, and found the colt tied at the door  without, by the two ways, and they loose it, 
41N 011:005 and certain of those standing there said to them, `What do  ye -- loosing the colt?' 
41N 011:006 and they said to them as Jesus commanded, and they suffered  them. 
41N 011:007 And they brought the colt unto Jesus, and did cast upon it  their garments, and he sat upon it, 
41N 011:008 and many did spread their garments in the way, and others  were cutting down branches from the trees, and were strewing  in the way. 
41N 011:009 And those going before and those following were crying out,  saying, `Hosanna! blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of  the Lord; 
41N 011:010 blessed is the coming reign, in the name of the Lord, of  our father David; Hosanna in the highest.' 
41N 011:011 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple, and  having looked round on all things, it being now evening, he  went forth to Bethany with the twelve. 
41N 011:012 And on the morrow, they having come forth from Bethany, he  hungered, 
41N 011:013 and having seen a fig-tree afar off having leaves, he  came, if perhaps he shall find anything in it, and having come  to it, he found nothing except leaves, for it was not a time  of figs, 
41N 011:014 and Jesus answering said to it, `No more from thee -- to  the age -- may any eat fruit;' and his disciples were hearing. 
41N 011:015 And they come to Jerusalem, and Jesus having gone into the  temple, began to cast forth those selling and buying in the  temple, and the tables of the money-changers and the seats of  those selling the doves, he overthrew, 
41N 011:016 and he did not suffer that any might bear a vessel through  the temple, 
41N 011:017 and he was teaching, saying to them, `Hath it not been  written -- My house a house of prayer shall be called for all  the nations, and ye did make it a den of robbers?' 
41N 011:018 And the scribes and the chief priests heard, and they were  seeking how they shall destroy him, for they were afraid of  him, because all the multitude was astonished at his teaching; 
41N 011:019 and when evening came, he was going forth without the  city. 
41N 011:020 And in the morning, passing by, they saw the fig-tree  having been dried up from the roots, 
41N 011:021 and Peter having remembered saith to him, `Rabbi, lo, the  fig-tree that thou didst curse is dried up.' 
41N 011:022 And Jesus answering saith to them, `Have faith of God; 
41N 011:023 for verily I say to you, that whoever may say to this  mount, Be taken up, and be cast into the sea, and may not  doubt in his heart, but may believe that the things that he  saith do come to pass, it shall be to him whatever he may say. 
41N 011:024 Because of this I say to you, all whatever -- praying --  ye do ask, believe that ye receive, and it shall be to you. 
41N 011:025 `And whenever ye may stand praying, forgive, if ye have  anything against any one, that your Father also who is in the  heavens may forgive you your trespasses; 
41N 011:026 and, if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is  in the heavens forgive your trespasses.' 
41N 011:027 And they come again to Jerusalem, and in the temple, as he  is walking, there come unto him the chief priests, and the  scribes, and the elders, 
41N 011:028 and they say to him, `By what authority dost thou these  things? and who gave thee this authority that these things  thou mayest do?' 
41N 011:029 And Jesus answering said to them, `I will question you --  I also -- one word; and answer me, and I will tell you by what  authority I do these things; 
41N 011:030 the baptism of John -- from heaven was it? or from men?  answer me.' 
41N 011:031 And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, `If we  may say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not  believe him? 
41N 011:032 But if we may say, From men,' -- they were fearing the  people, for all were holding John that he was indeed a prophet; 
41N 011:033 and answering they say to Jesus, `We have not known;' and  Jesus answering saith to them, `Neither do I tell you by what  authority I do these things.' 
41N 012:001 And he began to speak to them in similes: `A man planted a  vineyard, and put a hedge around, and digged an under-winevat,  and built a tower, and gave it out to husbandmen, and went  abroad; 
41N 012:002 and he sent unto the husbandmen at the due time a servant,  that from the husbandmen he may receive from the fruit of the  vineyard, 
41N 012:003 and they, having taken him, did severely beat [him], and  did send him away empty. 
41N 012:004 `And again he sent unto them another servant, and at that  one having cast stones, they wounded [him] in the head, and  sent away -- dishonoured. 
41N 012:005 `And again he sent another, and that one they killed; and  many others, some beating, and some killing. 
41N 012:006 `Having yet therefore one son -- his beloved -- he sent  also him unto them last, saying -- They will reverence my son; 
41N 012:007 and those husbandmen said among themselves -- This is the  heir, come, we may kill him, and ours shall be the inheritance; 
41N 012:008 and having taken him, they did kill, and cast [him] forth  without the vineyard. 
41N 012:009 `What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? he will  come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard to  others. 
41N 012:010 And this Writing did ye not read: A stone that the  builders rejected, it did become the head of a corner: 
41N 012:011 from the Lord was this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.' 
41N 012:012 And they were seeking to lay hold on him, and they feared  the multitude, for they knew that against them he spake the  simile, and having left him, they went away; 
41N 012:013 and they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the  Herodians, that they may ensnare him in discourse, 
41N 012:014 and they having come, say to him, `Teacher, we have known  that thou art true, and thou art not caring for any one, for  thou dost not look to the face of men, but in truth the way of  God dost teach; is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?  may we give, or may we not give?' 
41N 012:015 And he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, `Why me do  ye tempt? bring me a denary, that I may see;' 
41N 012:016 and they brought, and he saith to them, `Whose [is] this  image, and the inscription?' and they said to him, `Caesar's;' 
41N 012:017 and Jesus answering said to them, `Give back the things of  Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' and they did  wonder at him. 
41N 012:018 And the Sadducees come unto him, who say there is not a  rising again, and they questioned him, saying, 
41N 012:019 `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, that if any one's brother may  die, and may leave a wife, and may leave no children, that his  brother may take his wife, and raise up seed to his brother. 
41N 012:020 `There were then seven brothers, and the first took a  wife, and dying, he left no seed; 
41N 012:021 and the second took her, and died, neither left he seed,  and the third in like manner, 
41N 012:022 and the seven took her, and left no seed, last of all died  also the woman; 
41N 012:023 in the rising again, then, whenever they may rise, of  which of them shall she be wife -- for the seven had her as  wife?' 
41N 012:024 And Jesus answering said to them, `Do ye not because of  this go astray, not knowing the Writings, nor the power of  God? 
41N 012:025 for when they may rise out of the dead, they neither marry  nor are they given in marriage, but are as messengers who are  in the heavens. 
41N 012:026 `And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read  in the Book of Moses (at The Bush), how God spake to him,  saying, I [am] the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and  the God of Jacob; 
41N 012:027 he is not the God of dead men, but a God of living men; ye  then go greatly astray.' 
41N 012:028 And one of the scribes having come near, having heard them  disputing, knowing that he answered them well, questioned him,  `Which is the first command of all?' 
41N 012:029 and Jesus answered him -- `The first of all the commands  [is], Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one; 
41N 012:030 and thou shalt love the Lord thy God out of all thy heart,  and out of thy soul, and out of all thine understanding, and  out of all thy strength -- this [is] the first command; 
41N 012:031 and the second [is] like [it], this, Thou shalt love thy  neighbor as thyself; -- greater than these there is no other  command.' 
41N 012:032 And the scribe said to him, `Well, Teacher, in truth thou  hast spoken that there is one God, and there is none other but  He; 
41N 012:033 and to love Him out of all the heart, and out of all the  understanding, and out of all the soul, and out of all the  strength, and to love one's neighbor as one's self, is more  than all the whole burnt-offerings and the sacrifices.' 
41N 012:034 And Jesus, having seen him that he answered with  understanding, said to him, `Thou art not far from the reign of  God;' and no one any more durst question him. 
41N 012:035 And Jesus answering said, teaching in the temple, `How say  the scribes that the Christ is son of David? 
41N 012:036 for David himself said in the Holy Spirit, The Lord said  to my lord, Sit thou on My right hand, till I place thine  enemies -- thy footstool; 
41N 012:037 therefore David himself saith of him Lord, and whence is  he his son?' And the great multitude were hearing him gladly, 
41N 012:038 and he was saying to them in his teaching, `Beware of the  scribes, who will in long robes to walk, and love salutations  in the market-places, 
41N 012:039 and first seats in the synagogues, and first couches in  suppers, 
41N 012:040 who are devouring the widows' houses, and for a pretense  are making long prayers; these shall receive more abundant  judgment.' 
41N 012:041 And Jesus having sat down over-against the treasury, was  beholding how the multitude do put brass into the treasury, and  many rich were putting in much, 
41N 012:042 and having come, a poor widow did put in two mites, which  are a farthing. 
41N 012:043 And having called near his disciples, he saith to them,  `Verily I say to you, that this poor widow hath put in more  than all those putting into the treasury; 
41N 012:044 for all, out of their abundance, put in, but she, out of  her want, all that she had put in -- all her living.' 
41N 013:001 And as he is going forth out of the temple, one of his  disciples saith to him, `Teacher, see! what stones! and what  buildings!' 
41N 013:002 and Jesus answering said to him, `Seest thou these great  buildings? there may not be left a stone upon a stone, that may  not be thrown down.' 
41N 013:003 And as he is sitting at the mount of the Olives,  over-against the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and  Andrew, were questioning him by himself, 
41N 013:004 `Tell us when these things shall be? and what [is] the sign  when all these may be about to be fulfilled?' 
41N 013:005 And Jesus answering them, began to say, `Take heed lest any  one may lead you astray, 
41N 013:006 for many shall come in my name, saying -- I am [he], and  many they shall lead astray; 
41N 013:007 and when ye may hear of wars and reports of wars, be not  troubled, for these behove to be, but the end [is] not yet; 
41N 013:008 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against  kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and  there shall be famines and troubles; beginnings of sorrows  [are] these. 
41N 013:009 `And take ye heed to yourselves, for they shall deliver you  up to sanhedrims, and to synagogues, ye shall be beaten, and  before governors and kings ye shall be set for my sake, for a  testimony to them; 
41N 013:010 and to all the nations it behoveth first that the good  news be proclaimed. 
41N 013:011 `And when they may lead you, delivering up, be not anxious  beforehand what ye may speak, nor premeditate, but whatever  may be given to you in that hour, that speak ye, for it is not  ye who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit. 
41N 013:012 `And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father  child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall  put them to death, 
41N 013:013 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he  who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved. 
41N 013:014 `And when ye may see the abomination of the desolation,  that was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it  ought not, (whoever is reading let him understand), then those  in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; 
41N 013:015 and he upon the house-top, let him not come down to the  house, nor come in to take anything out of his house; 
41N 013:016 and he who is in the field, let him not turn to the things  behind, to take up his garment. 
41N 013:017 `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in  those days; 
41N 013:018 and pray ye that your flight may not be in winter, 
41N 013:019 for those days shall be tribulation, such as hath not been  from the beginning of the creation that God created, till now,  and may not be; 
41N 013:020 and if the Lord did not shorten the days, no flesh had  been saved; but because of the chosen, whom He did choose to  Himself, He did shorten the days. 
41N 013:021 `And then, if any may say to you, Lo, here [is] the  Christ, or, Lo, there, ye may not believe; 
41N 013:022 for there shall rise false Christs and false prophets, and  they shall give signs and wonders, to seduce, if possible,  also the chosen; 
41N 013:023 and ye, take heed; lo, I have foretold you all things. 
41N 013:024 `But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall  be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 
41N 013:025 and the stars of the heaven shall be falling, and the  powers that are in the heavens shall be shaken. 
41N 013:026 `And then they shall see the Son of Man coming in clouds  with much power and glory, 
41N 013:027 and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together  his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto  the end of heaven. 
41N 013:028 `And from the fig-tree learn ye the simile: when the  branch may already become tender, and may put forth the  leaves, ye know that nigh is the summer; 
41N 013:029 so ye, also, when these ye may see coming to pass, ye know  that it is nigh, at the doors. 
41N 013:030 Verily I say to you, that this generation may not pass  away till all these things may come to pass; 
41N 013:031 the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words  shall not pass away. 
41N 013:032 `And concerning that day and the hour no one hath known --  not even the messengers who are in the heaven, not even the  Son -- except the Father. 
41N 013:033 Take heed, watch and pray, for ye have not known when the  time is; 
41N 013:034 as a man who is gone abroad, having left his house, and  given to his servants the authority, and to each one his work,  did command also the porter that he may watch; 
41N 013:035 watch ye, therefore, for ye have not known when the lord  of the house doth come, at even, or at midnight, or at  cock-crowing, or at the morning; 
41N 013:036 lest, having come suddenly, he may find you sleeping; 
41N 013:037 and what I say to you, I say to all, Watch.' 
41N 014:001 And the passover and the unleavened food were after two  days, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how,  by guile, having taken hold of him, they might kill him; 
41N 014:002 and they said, `Not in the feast, lest there shall be a  tumult of the people.' 
41N 014:003 And he, being in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,  at his reclining (at meat), there came a woman having an  alabaster box of ointment, of spikenard, very precious, and  having broken the alabaster box, did pour on his head; 
41N 014:004 and there were certain much displeased within themselves,  and saying, `For what hath this waste of the ointment been  made? 
41N 014:005 for this could have been sold for more than three hundred  denaries, and given to the poor;' and they were murmuring at  her. 
41N 014:006 And Jesus said, `Let her alone; why are ye giving her  trouble? a good work she wrought on me; 
41N 014:007 for the poor always ye have with you, and whenever ye may  will ye are able to do them good, but me ye have not always; 
41N 014:008 what she could she did, she anticipated to anoint my body  for the embalming. 
41N 014:009 Verily I say to you, wherever this good news may be  proclaimed in the whole world, what also this woman did shall  be spoken of -- for a memorial of her.' 
41N 014:010 And Judas the Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto  the chief priests that he might deliver him up to them, 
41N 014:011 and having heard, they were glad, and promised to give him  money, and he was seeking how, conveniently, he might deliver  him up. 
41N 014:012 And the first day of the unleavened food, when they were  killing the passover, his disciples say to him, `Where wilt  thou, [that,] having gone, we may prepare, that thou mayest eat  the passover?' 
41N 014:013 And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith to  them, `Go ye away to the city, and there shall meet you a man  bearing a pitcher of water, follow him; 
41N 014:014 and wherever he may go in, say ye to the master of the  house -- The Teacher saith, Where is the guest-chamber, where  the passover, with my disciples, I may eat? 
41N 014:015 and he will shew you a large upper room, furnished,  prepared -- there make ready for us.' 
41N 014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and  found as he said to them, and they made ready the passover. 
41N 014:017 And evening having come, he cometh with the twelve, 
41N 014:018 and as they are reclining, and eating, Jesus said, `Verily  I say to you -- one of you, who is eating with me -- shall  deliver me up.' 
41N 014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him, one by  one, `Is it I?' and another, `Is it I?' 
41N 014:020 And he answering said to them, `One of the twelve who is  dipping with me in the dish; 
41N 014:021 the Son of Man doth indeed go, as it hath been written  concerning him, but wo to that man through whom the Son of Man  is delivered up; good were it to him if that man had not been  born.' 
41N 014:022 And as they are eating, Jesus having taken bread, having  blessed, brake, and gave to them, and said, `Take, eat; this is  my body.' 
41N 014:023 And having taken the cup, having given thanks, he gave to  them, and they drank of it -- all; 
41N 014:024 and he said to them, `This is my blood of the new  covenant, which for many is being poured out; 
41N 014:025 verily I say to you, that no more may I drink of the  produce of the vine till that day when I may drink it new in  the reign of God.' 
41N 014:026 And having sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of  the Olives, 
41N 014:027 and Jesus saith to them -- `All ye shall be stumbled at me  this night, because it hath been written, I will smite the  shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad, 
41N 014:028 but after my having risen I will go before you to  Galilee.' 
41N 014:029 And Peter said to him, `And if all shall be stumbled, yet  not I;' 
41N 014:030 And Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, that to-day,  this night, before a cock shall crow twice, thrice thou shalt  deny me.' 
41N 014:031 And he spake the more vehemently, `If it may be necessary  for me to die with thee -- I will in nowise deny thee;' and in  like manner also said they all. 
41N 014:032 And they come to a spot, the name of which [is]  Gethsemane, and he saith to his disciples, `Sit ye here till I  may pray;' 
41N 014:033 and he taketh Peter, and James, and John with him, and  began to be amazed, and to be very heavy, 
41N 014:034 and he saith to them, `Exceeding sorrowful is my soul --  to death; remain here, and watch.' 
41N 014:035 And having gone forward a little, he fell upon the earth,  and was praying, that, if it be possible the hour may pass from  him, 
41N 014:036 and he said, `Abba, Father; all things are possible to  Thee; make this cup pass from me; but, not what I will, but  what Thou.' 
41N 014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to  Peter, `Simon, thou dost sleep! thou wast not able to watch  one hour! 
41N 014:038 Watch ye and pray, that ye may not enter into temptation;  the spirit indeed is forward, but the flesh weak.' 
41N 014:039 And again having gone away, he prayed, the same word  saying; 
41N 014:040 and having returned, he found them again sleeping, for  their eyes were heavy, and they had not known what they might  answer him. 
41N 014:041 And he cometh the third time, and saith to them, `Sleep on  henceforth, and rest -- it is over; the hour did come; lo, the  Son of Man is delivered up to the hands of the sinful; 
41N 014:042 rise, we may go, lo, he who is delivering me up hath come  nigh.' 
41N 014:043 And immediately -- while he is yet speaking -- cometh near  Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with  swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes,  and the elders; 
41N 014:044 and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them,  saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him,  and lead him away safely,' 
41N 014:045 and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he  saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him. 
41N 014:046 And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him; 
41N 014:047 and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the  sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his  ear. 
41N 014:048 And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye  came out, with swords and sticks, to take me! 
41N 014:049 daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did  not lay hold on me -- but that the Writings may be fulfilled.' 
41N 014:050 And having left him they all fled; 
41N 014:051 and a certain young man was following him, having put a  linen cloth about [his] naked body, and the young men lay hold  on him, 
41N 014:052 and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them  naked. 
41N 014:053 And they led away Jesus unto the chief priest, and come  together to him do all the chief priests, and the elders, and  the scribes; 
41N 014:054 and Peter afar off did follow him, to the inside of the  hall of the chief priest, and he was sitting with the officers,  and warming himself near the fire. 
41N 014:055 And the chief priests and all the sanhedrim were seeking  against Jesus testimony -- to put him to death, and they were  not finding, 
41N 014:056 for many were bearing false testimony against him, and  their testimonies were not alike. 
41N 014:057 And certain having risen up, were bearing false testimony  against him, saying -- 
41N 014:058 `We heard him saying -- I will throw down this sanctuary  made with hands, and by three days, another made without hands  I will build;' 
41N 014:059 and neither so was their testimony alike. 
41N 014:060 And the chief priest, having risen up in the midst,  questioned Jesus, saying, `Thou dost not answer anything! what  do these testify against thee?' 
41N 014:061 and he was keeping silent, and did not answer anything.  Again the chief priest was questioning him, and saith to him,  `Art thou the Christ -- the Son of the Blessed?' 
41N 014:062 and Jesus said, `I am; and ye shall see the Son of Man  sitting on the right hand of the power, and coming with the  clouds, of the heaven.' 
41N 014:063 And the chief priest, having rent his garments, saith,  `What need have we yet of witnesses? 
41N 014:064 Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and  they all condemned him to be worthy of death, 
41N 014:065 and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face,  and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the  officers were striking him with their palms. 
41N 014:066 And Peter being in the hall beneath, there doth come one  of the maids of the chief priest, 
41N 014:067 and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked on  him, she said, `And thou wast with Jesus of Nazareth!' 
41N 014:068 and he denied, saying, `I have not known [him], neither do  I understand what thou sayest;' and he went forth without to  the porch, and a cock crew. 
41N 014:069 And the maid having seen him again, began to say to those  standing near -- `This is of them;' 
41N 014:070 and he was again denying. And after a little again, those  standing near said to Peter, `Truly thou art of them, for thou  also art a Galilean, and thy speech is alike;' 
41N 014:071 and he began to anathematize, and to swear -- `I have not  known this man of whom ye speak;' 
41N 014:072 and a second time a cock crew, and Peter remembered the  saying that Jesus said to him -- `Before a cock crow twice,  thou mayest deny me thrice;' and having thought thereon -- he  was weeping. 
41N 015:001 And immediately, in the morning, the chief priests having  made a consultation, with the elders, and scribes, and the  whole sanhedrim, having bound Jesus, did lead away, and  delivered [him] to Pilate; 
41N 015:002 and Pilate questioned him, `Art thou the king of the Jews?'  and he answering said to him, `Thou dost say [it].' 
41N 015:003 And the chief priests were accusing him of many things,  [but he answered nothing.] 
41N 015:004 And Pilate again questioned him, saying, `Thou dost not  answer anything! lo, how many things they do testify against  thee!' 
41N 015:005 and Jesus did no more answer anything, so that Pilate  wondered. 
41N 015:006 And at every feast he was releasing to them one prisoner,  whomsoever they were asking; 
41N 015:007 and there was [one] named Barabbas, bound with those making  insurrection with him, who had in the insurrection committed  murder. 
41N 015:008 And the multitude having cried out, began to ask for  themselves as he was always doing to them, 
41N 015:009 and Pilate answered them, saying, `Will ye [that] I shall  release to you the king of the Jews?' 
41N 015:010 for he knew that because of envy the chief priests had  delivered him up; 
41N 015:011 and the chief priests did move the multitude, that he  might rather release Barabbas to them. 
41N 015:012 And Pilate answering, again said to them, `What, then,  will ye [that] I shall do to him whom ye call king of the  Jews?' 
41N 015:013 and they again cried out, `Crucify him.' 
41N 015:014 And Pilate said to them, `Why -- what evil did he?' and  they cried out the more vehemently, `Crucify him;' 
41N 015:015 and Pilate, wishing to content the multitude, released to  them Barabbas, and delivered up Jesus -- having scourged [him]  -- that he might be crucified. 
41N 015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, which is  Praetorium, and call together the whole band, 
41N 015:017 and clothe him with purple, and having plaited a crown of  thorns, they put [it] on him, 
41N 015:018 and began to salute him, `Hail, King of the Jews.' 
41N 015:019 And they were smiting him on the head with a reed, and  were spitting on him, and having bent the knee, were bowing to  him, 
41N 015:020 and when they [had] mocked him, they took the purple from  off him, and clothed him in his own garments, and they led him  forth, that they may crucify him. 
41N 015:021 And they impress a certain one passing by -- Simon, a  Cyrenian, coming from the field, the father of Alexander and  Rufus -- that he may bear his cross, 
41N 015:022 and they bring him to the place Golgotha, which is, being  interpreted, `Place of a skull;' 
41N 015:023 and they were giving him to drink wine mingled with myrrh,  and he did not receive. 
41N 015:024 And having crucified him, they were dividing his garments,  casting a lot upon them, what each may take; 
41N 015:025 and it was the third hour, and they crucified him; 
41N 015:026 and the inscription of his accusation was written above --  `The King of the Jews.' 
41N 015:027 And with him they crucify two robbers, one on the right  hand, and one on his left, 
41N 015:028 and the Writing was fulfilled that is saying, `And with  lawless ones he was numbered.' 
41N 015:029 And those passing by were speaking evil of him, shaking  their heads, and saying, `Ah, the thrower down of the  sanctuary, and in three days the builder! 
41N 015:030 save thyself, and come down from the cross!' 
41N 015:031 And in like manner also the chief priests, mocking with  one another, with the scribes, said, `Others he saved; himself  he is not able to save. 
41N 015:032 The Christ! the king of Israel -- let him come down now  from the cross, that we may see and believe;' and those  crucified with him were reproaching him. 
41N 015:033 And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over the  whole land till the ninth hour, 
41N 015:034 and at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a great voice,  saying, `Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabachthani?' which is, being  interpreted, `My God, my God, why didst Thou forsake me?' 
41N 015:035 And certain of those standing by, having heard, said, `Lo,  Elijah he doth call;' 
41N 015:036 and one having run, and having filled a spunge with  vinegar, having put [it] also on a reed, was giving him to  drink, saying, `Let alone, let us see if Elijah doth come to  take him down.' 
41N 015:037 And Jesus having uttered a loud cry, yielded the spirit, 
41N 015:038 and the veil of the sanctuary was rent in two, from top to  bottom, 
41N 015:039 and the centurion who was standing over-against him,  having seen that, having so cried out, he yielded the spirit,  said, `Truly this man was Son of God.' 
41N 015:040 And there were also women afar off beholding, among whom  was also Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James the less, and  of Joses, and Salome, 
41N 015:041 (who also, when he was in Galilee, were following him, and  were ministering to him,) and many other women who came up with  him to Jerusalem. 
41N 015:042 And now evening having come, seeing it was the  preparation, that is, the fore-sabbath, 
41N 015:043 Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable counsellor, who also  himself was waiting for the reign of God, came, boldly entered  in unto Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus. 
41N 015:044 And Pilate wondered if he were already dead, and having  called near the centurion, did question him if he were long  dead, 
41N 015:045 and having known [it] from the centurion, he granted the  body to Joseph. 
41N 015:046 And he, having brought fine linen, and having taken him  down, wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre  that had been hewn out of a rock, and he rolled a stone unto  the door of the sepulchre, 
41N 015:047 and Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of Joses, were beholding  where he is laid. 
41N 016:001 And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary  of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may  anoint him, 
41N 016:002 and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they  come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun, 
41N 016:003 and they said among themselves, `Who shall roll away for us  the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?' 
41N 016:004 And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled  away -- for it was very great, 
41N 016:005 and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man  sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and  they were amazed. 
41N 016:006 And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the  Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise -- he is not here; lo,  the place where they laid him! 
41N 016:007 and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go  before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to  you.' 
41N 016:008 And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the  sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to  no one said they anything, for they were afraid. 
41N 016:009 And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the  sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom  he had cast seven demons; 
41N 016:010 she having gone, told those who had been with him,  mourning and weeping; 
41N 016:011 and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by  her, did not believe. 
41N 016:012 And after these things, to two of them, as they are going  into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form, 
41N 016:013 and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did  they believe. 
41N 016:014 Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was  manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and  stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having  seen him being raised; 
41N 016:015 and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world,  proclaim the good news to all the creation; 
41N 016:016 he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be  saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned. 
41N 016:017 `And signs shall accompany those believing these things;  in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they  shall speak; 
41N 016:018 serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they  may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall  lay hands, and they shall be well.' 
41N 016:019 The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was  received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; 
41N 016:020 and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the  Lord working with [them], and confirming the word, through the  signs following. Amen.  
42N 001:001 Seeing that many did take in hand to set in order a  narration of the matters that have been fully assured among us, 
42N 001:002 as they did deliver to us, who from the beginning became  eye-witnesses, and officers of the Word, -- 
42N 001:003 it seemed good also to me, having followed from the first  after all things exactly, to write to thee in order, most noble  Theophilus, 
42N 001:004 that thou mayest know the certainty of the things wherein  thou wast instructed. 
42N 001:005 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain  priest, by name Zacharias, of the course of Abijah, and his  wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elisabeth; 
42N 001:006 and they were both righteous before God, going on in all the  commands and righteousnesses of the Lord blameless, 
42N 001:007 and they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren,  and both were advanced in their days. 
42N 001:008 And it came to pass, in his acting as priest, in the order  of his course before God, 
42N 001:009 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot was to  make perfume, having gone into the sanctuary of the Lord, 
42N 001:010 and all the multitude of the people were praying without,  at the hour of the perfume. 
42N 001:011 And there appeared to him a messenger of the Lord standing  on the right side of the altar of the perfume, 
42N 001:012 and Zacharias, having seen, was troubled, and fear fell on  him; 
42N 001:013 and the messenger said unto him, `Fear not, Zacharias, for  thy supplication was heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear  a son to thee, and thou shalt call his name John, 
42N 001:014 and there shall be joy to thee, and gladness, and many at  his birth shall joy, 
42N 001:015 for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong  drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be  full, even from his mother's womb; 
42N 001:016 and many of the sons of Israel he shall turn to the Lord  their God, 
42N 001:017 and he shall go before Him, in the spirit and power of  Elijah, to turn hearts of fathers unto children, and  disobedient ones to the wisdom of righteous ones, to make  ready for the Lord, a people prepared.' 
42N 001:018 And Zacharias said unto the messenger, `Whereby shall I  know this? for I am aged, and my wife is advanced in her  days?' 
42N 001:019 And the messenger answering said to him, `I am Gabriel, who  have been standing near before God, and I was sent to speak  unto thee, and to proclaim these good news to thee, 
42N 001:020 and lo, thou shalt be silent, and not able to speak, till  the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou  didst not believe my words, that shall be fulfilled in their  season.' 
42N 001:021 And the people were waiting for Zacharias, and wondering at  his tarrying in the sanctuary, 
42N 001:022 and having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and  they perceived that a vision he had seen in the sanctuary, and  he was beckoning to them, and did remain dumb. 
42N 001:023 And it came to pass, when the days of his service were  fulfilled, he went away to his house, 
42N 001:024 and after those days, his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid  herself five months, saying -- 
42N 001:025 `Thus hath the Lord done to me, in days in which He looked  upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.' 
42N 001:026 And in the sixth month was the messenger Gabriel sent by  God, to a city of Galilee, the name of which [is] Nazareth, 
42N 001:027 to a virgin, betrothed to a man, whose name [is] Joseph, of  the house of David, and the name of the virgin [is] Mary. 
42N 001:028 And the messenger having come in unto her, said, `Hail,  favoured one, the Lord [is] with thee; blessed [art] thou  among women;' 
42N 001:029 and she, having seen, was troubled at his word, and was  reasoning of what kind this salutation may be. 
42N 001:030 And the messenger said to her, `Fear not, Mary, for thou  hast found favour with God; 
42N 001:031 and lo, thou shalt conceive in the womb, and shalt bring  forth a son, and call his name Jesus; 
42N 001:032 he shall be great, and Son of the Highest he shall be  called, and the Lord God shall give him the throne of David  his father, 
42N 001:033 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob to the ages; and  of his reign there shall be no end.' 
42N 001:034 And Mary said unto the messenger, `How shall this be,  seeing a husband I do not know?' 
42N 001:035 And the messenger answering said to her, `The Holy Spirit  shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall  overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall  be called Son of God; 
42N 001:036 and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a  son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was  called barren; 
42N 001:037 because nothing shall be impossible with God.' 
42N 001:038 And Mary said, `Lo, the maid-servant of the Lord; let it be  to me according to thy saying,' and the messenger went away  from her. 
42N 001:039 And Mary having arisen in those days, went to the  hill-country, with haste, to a city of Judea, 
42N 001:040 and entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted  Elisabeth. 
42N 001:041 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of  Mary, the babe did leap in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled  with the Holy Spirit, 
42N 001:042 and spake out with a loud voice, and said, `Blessed [art]  thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb; 
42N 001:043 and whence [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord  might come unto me? 
42N 001:044 for, lo, when the voice of thy salutation came to my ears,  leap in gladness did the babe in my womb; 
42N 001:045 and happy [is] she who did believe, for there shall be a  completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.' 
42N 001:046 And Mary said, `My soul doth magnify the Lord, 
42N 001:047 And my spirit was glad on God my Saviour, 
42N 001:048 Because He looked on the lowliness of His maid-servant,  For, lo, henceforth call me happy shall all the generations, 
42N 001:049 For He who is mighty did to me great things, And holy [is]  His name, 
42N 001:050 And His kindness [is] to generations of generations, To  those fearing Him, 
42N 001:051 He did powerfully with His arm, He scattered abroad the  proud in the thought of their heart, 
42N 001:052 He brought down the mighty from thrones, And He exalted the  lowly, 
42N 001:053 The hungry He did fill with good, And the rich He sent away  empty, 
42N 001:054 He received again Israel His servant, To remember kindness, 
42N 001:055 As He spake unto our fathers, To Abraham and to his seed --  to the age.' 
42N 001:056 And Mary remained with her about three months, and turned  back to her house. 
42N 001:057 And to Elisabeth was the time fulfilled for her bringing  forth, and she bare a son, 
42N 001:058 and the neighbours and her kindred heard that the Lord was  making His kindness great with her, and they were rejoicing  with her. 
42N 001:059 And it came to pass, on the eighth day, they came to  circumcise the child, and they were calling him by the name of  his father, Zacharias, 
42N 001:060 and his mother answering said, `No, but he shall be called  John.' 
42N 001:061 And they said unto her -- `There is none among thy kindred  who is called by this name,' 
42N 001:062 and they were making signs to his father, what he would  wish him to be called, 
42N 001:063 and having asked for a tablet, he wrote, saying, `John is  his name;' and they did all wonder; 
42N 001:064 and his mouth was opened presently, and his tongue, and he  was speaking, praising God. 
42N 001:065 And fear came upon all those dwelling around them, and in  all the hill-country of Judea were all these sayings spoken of, 
42N 001:066 and all who heard did lay them up in their hearts, saying,  `What then shall this child be?' and the hand of the Lord was  with him. 
42N 001:067 And Zacharias his father was filled with the Holy Spirit,  and did prophesy, saying, 
42N 001:068 `Blessed [is] the Lord, the God of Israel, Because He did  look upon, And wrought redemption for His people, 
42N 001:069 And did raise an horn of salvation to us, In the house of  David His servant, 
42N 001:070 As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, Which have  been from the age; 
42N 001:071 Salvation from our enemies, And out of the hand of all  hating us, 
42N 001:072 To do kindness with our fathers, And to be mindful of His  holy covenant, 
42N 001:073 An oath that He sware to Abraham our father, 
42N 001:074 To give to us, without fear, Out of the hand of our enemies  having been delivered, 
42N 001:075 To serve Him, in holiness and righteousness Before Him, all  the days of our life. 
42N 001:076 And thou, child, Prophet of the Highest Shalt thou be  called; For thou shalt go before the face of the Lord, To  prepare His ways. 
42N 001:077 To give knowledge of salvation to His people In remission  of their sins, 
42N 001:078 Through the tender mercies of our God, In which the rising  from on high did look upon us, 
42N 001:079 To give light to those sitting in darkness and death-shade,  To guide our feet to a way of peace.' 
42N 001:080 And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit, and he  was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. 
42N 002:001 And it came to pass in those days, there went forth a decree  from Caesar Augustus, that all the world be enrolled -- 
42N 002:002 this enrollment first came to pass when Cyrenius was  governor of Syria -- 
42N 002:003 and all were going to be enrolled, each to his proper city, 
42N 002:004 and Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of  Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, that is called  Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of  David, 
42N 002:005 to enroll himself with Mary his betrothed wife, being with  child. 
42N 002:006 And it came to pass, in their being there, the days were  fulfilled for her bringing forth, 
42N 002:007 and she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and wrapped  him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not  for them a place in the guest-chamber. 
42N 002:008 And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the  field, and keeping the night-watches over their flock, 
42N 002:009 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood over them, and the  glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared a great  fear. 
42N 002:010 And the messenger said to them, `Fear not, for lo, I bring  you good news of great joy, that shall be to all the people -- 
42N 002:011 because there was born to you to-day a Saviour -- who is  Christ the Lord -- in the city of David, 
42N 002:012 and this [is] to you the sign: Ye shall find a babe wrapped  up, lying in the manger.' 
42N 002:013 And suddenly there came with the messenger a multitude of  the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 
42N 002:014 `Glory in the highest to God, and upon earth peace, among  men -- good will.' 
42N 002:015 And it came to pass, when the messengers were gone away  from them to the heavens, that the men, the shepherds, said  unto one another, `We may go over indeed unto Bethlehem, and  see this thing that hath come to pass, that the Lord did make  known to us.' 
42N 002:016 And they came, having hasted, and found both Mary, and  Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger, 
42N 002:017 and having seen, they made known abroad concerning the  saying spoken to them concerning the child. 
42N 002:018 And all who heard, did wonder concerning the things spoken  by the shepherds unto them; 
42N 002:019 and Mary was preserving all these things, pondering in her  heart; 
42N 002:020 and the shepherds turned back, glorifying and praising God,  for all those things they heard and saw, as it was spoken unto  them. 
42N 002:021 And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child,  then was his name called Jesus, having been so called by the  messenger before his being conceived in the womb. 
42N 002:022 And when the days of their purification were fulfilled,  according to the law of Moses, they brought him up to  Jerusalem, to present to the Lord, 
42N 002:023 as it hath been written in the Law of the Lord, -- `Every  male opening a womb shall be called holy to the Lord,' 
42N 002:024 and to give a sacrifice, according to that said in the Law  of the Lord, `A pair of turtle-doves, or two young pigeons.' 
42N 002:025 And lo, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name [is]  Simeon, and this man is righteous and devout, looking for the  comforting of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him, 
42N 002:026 and it hath been divinely told him by the Holy Spirit --  not to see death before he may see the Christ of the Lord. 
42N 002:027 And he came in the Spirit to the temple, and in the parents  bringing in the child Jesus, for their doing according to the  custom of the law regarding him, 
42N 002:028 then he took him in his arms, and blessed God, and he said, 
42N 002:029 `Now Thou dost send away Thy servant, Lord, according to  Thy word, in peace, 
42N 002:030 because mine eyes did see Thy salvation, 
42N 002:031 which Thou didst prepare before the face of all the  peoples, 
42N 002:032 a light to the uncovering of nations, and the glory of Thy  people Israel.' 
42N 002:033 And Joseph and his mother were wondering at the things  spoken concerning him, 
42N 002:034 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother,  `Lo, this [one] is set for the falling and rising again of many  in Israel, and for a sign spoken against -- 
42N 002:035 (and also thine own soul shall a sword pass through) --  that the reasonings of many hearts may be revealed.' 
42N 002:036 And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of  the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having  lived with an husband seven years from her virginity, 
42N 002:037 and she [is] a widow of about eighty-four years, who did  depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications  serving, night and day, 
42N 002:038 and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing,  likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all  those looking for redemption in Jerusalem. 
42N 002:039 And when they finished all things, according to the Law of  the Lord, they turned back to Galilee, to their city Nazareth; 
42N 002:040 and the child grew and was strengthened in spirit, being  filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. 
42N 002:041 And his parents were going yearly to Jerusalem, at the  feast of the passover, 
42N 002:042 and when he became twelve years old, they having gone up to  Jerusalem, according to the custom of the feast, 
42N 002:043 and having finished the days, in their returning the child  Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother  did not know, 
42N 002:044 and, having supposed him to be in the company, they went a  day's journey, and were seeking him among the kindred and  among the acquaintances, 
42N 002:045 and not having found him, they turned back to Jerusalem  seeking him. 
42N 002:046 And it came to pass, after three days, they found him in  the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing  them and questioning them, 
42N 002:047 and all those hearing him were astonished at his  understanding and answers. 
42N 002:048 And, having seen him, they were amazed, and his mother said  unto him, `Child, why didst thou thus to us? lo, thy father  and I, sorrowing, were seeking thee.' 
42N 002:049 And he said unto them, `Why [is it] that ye were seeking  me? did ye not know that in the things of my Father it  behoveth me to be?' 
42N 002:050 and they did not understand the saying that he spake to  them, 
42N 002:051 and he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and he  was subject to them, and his mother was keeping all these  sayings in her heart, 
42N 002:052 and Jesus was advancing in wisdom, and in stature, and in  favour with God and men. 
42N 003:001 And in the fifteenth year of the government of Tiberius  Caesar -- Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod  tetrarch of Galilee, and Philip his brother, tetrarch of  Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch  of Abilene -- 
42N 003:002 Annas and Caiaphas being chief priests -- there came a word  of God unto John the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness, 
42N 003:003 and he came to all the region round the Jordan, proclaiming  a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins, 
42N 003:004 as it hath been written in the scroll of the words of Isaiah  the prophet, saying, `A voice of one crying in the wilderness,  Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye His paths; 
42N 003:005 every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill  shall be made low, and the crooked shall become straightness,  and the rough become smooth ways; 
42N 003:006 and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' 
42N 003:007 Then said he to the multitudes coming forth to be baptised  by him, `Brood of vipers! who did prompt you to flee from the  coming wrath? 
42N 003:008 make, therefore, fruits worthy of the reformation, and begin  not to say within yourselves, We have a father -- Abraham; for  I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise  children to Abraham; 
42N 003:009 and already also the axe unto the root of the trees is laid,  every tree, therefore, not making good fruit is cut down, and  to fire it is cast.' 
42N 003:010 And the multitudes were questioning him, saying, `What,  then, shall we do?' 
42N 003:011 and he answering saith to them, `He having two coats -- let  him impart to him having none, and he having victuals -- in  like manner let him do.' 
42N 003:012 And there came also tax-gatherers to be baptised, and they  said unto him, `Teacher, what shall we do?' 
42N 003:013 and he said unto them, `Exact no more than that directed  you.' 
42N 003:014 And questioning him also were those warring, saying, `And  we, what shall we do?' and he said unto them, `Do violence to  no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your wages.' 
42N 003:015 And the people are looking forward, and all are reasoning  in their hearts concerning John, whether or not he may be the  Christ; 
42N 003:016 John answered, saying to all, `I indeed with water do  baptise you, but he cometh who is mightier than I, of whom I  am not worthy to loose the latchet of his sandals -- he shall  baptise you with the Holy Spirit and with fire; 
42N 003:017 whose winnowing shovel [is] in his hand, and he will  thoroughly cleanse his floor, and will gather the wheat to his  storehouse, and the chaff he will burn with fire  unquenchable.' 
42N 003:018 And, therefore, indeed with many other things, exhorting,  he was proclaiming good news to the people, 
42N 003:019 and Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning  Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, and concerning all  the evils that Herod did, 
42N 003:020 added also this to all, that he shut up John in the prison. 
42N 003:021 And it came to pass, in all the people being baptised,  Jesus also being baptised, and praying, the heaven was opened, 
42N 003:022 and the Holy Spirit came down in a bodily appearance, as if  a dove, upon him, and a voice came out of heaven, saying,  `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in thee I did delight.' 
42N 003:023 And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years of  age, being, as was supposed, son of Joseph, 
42N 003:024 the [son] of Eli, the [son] of Matthat, the [son] of Levi,  the [son] of Melchi, the [son] of Janna, the [son] of Joseph, 
42N 003:025 the [son] of Mattathias, the [son] of Amos, the [son] of  Naum, the [son] of Esli, 
42N 003:026 the [son] of Naggai, the [son] of Maath, the [son] of  Mattathias, the [son] of Semei, the [son] of Joseph, the [son]  of Juda, 
42N 003:027 the [son] of Joanna, the [son] of Rhesa, the [son] of  Zerubbabel, the [son] of Shealtiel, 
42N 003:028 the [son] of Neri, the [son] of Melchi, the [son] of Addi,  the [son] of Cosam, the [son] of Elmodam, the [son] of Er, 
42N 003:029 the [son] of Jose, the [son] of Eliezer, the [son] of  Jorim, the [son] of Matthat, 
42N 003:030 the [son] of Levi, the [son] of Simeon, the [son] of Juda,  the [son] of Joseph, the [son] of Jonan, the [son] of Eliakim, 
42N 003:031 the [son] of Melea, the [son] of Mainan, the [son] of  Mattatha, the [son] of Nathan, 
42N 003:032 the [son] of David, the [son] of Jesse, the [son] of Obed,  the [son] of Booz, the [son] of Salmon, the [son] of Nahshon, 
42N 003:033 the [son] of Amminadab, the [son] of Aram, the [son] of  Esrom, the [son] of Pharez, 
42N 003:034 the [son] of Judah, the [son] of Jacob, the [son] of Isaac,  the [son] of Abraham, the [son] of Terah, the [son] of Nahor, 
42N 003:035 the [son] of Serug, the [son] of Reu, the [son] of Peleg,  the [son] of Eber, 
42N 003:036 the [son] of Salah, the [son] of Cainan, the [son] of  Arphaxad, the [son] of Shem, the [son] of Noah, the [son] of  Lamech, 
42N 003:037 the [son] of Methuselah, the [son] of Enoch, the [son] of  Jared, the [son] of Mahalaleel, 
42N 003:038 the [son] of Cainan, the [son] of Enos, the [son] of Seth,  the [son] of Adam, the [son] of God. 
42N 004:001 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the  Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness, 
42N 004:002 forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat  anything in those days, and they having been ended, he  afterward hungered, 
42N 004:003 and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to  this stone that it may become bread.' 
42N 004:004 And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that,  not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.' 
42N 004:005 And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain,  shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of  time, 
42N 004:006 and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this  authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been  delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it; 
42N 004:007 thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me -- all shall be  thine.' 
42N 004:008 And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me,  Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the  Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.' 
42N 004:009 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle  of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God,  cast thyself down hence, 
42N 004:010 for it hath been written -- To His messengers He will give  charge concerning thee, to guard over thee, 
42N 004:011 and -- On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time  thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.' 
42N 004:012 And Jesus answering said to him -- `It hath been said, Thou  shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.' 
42N 004:013 And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from  him till a convenient season. 
42N 004:014 And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to  Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round  about concerning him, 
42N 004:015 and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by  all. 
42N 004:016 And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and  he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the  synagogue, and stood up to read; 
42N 004:017 and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the  prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where  it hath been written: 
42N 004:018 `The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint  me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the  broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to  blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with  deliverance, 
42N 004:019 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.' 
42N 004:020 And having folded the roll, having given [it] back to the  officer, he sat down, and the eyes of all in the synagogue were  gazing on him. 
42N 004:021 And he began to say unto them -- `To-day hath this writing  been fulfilled in your ears;' 
42N 004:022 and all were bearing testimony to him, and were wondering  at the gracious words that are coming forth out of his mouth,  and they said, `Is not this the son of Joseph?' 
42N 004:023 And he said unto them, `Certainly ye will say to me this  simile, Physician, heal thyself; as great things as we heard  done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country;' 
42N 004:024 and he said, `Verily I say to you -- No prophet is accepted  in his own country; 
42N 004:025 and of a truth I say to you, Many widows were in the days  of Elijah, in Israel, when the heaven was shut for three years  and six months, when great famine came on all the land, 
42N 004:026 and unto none of them was Elijah sent, but -- to Sarepta of  Sidon, unto a woman, a widow; 
42N 004:027 and many lepers were in the time of Elisha the prophet, in  Israel, and none of them was cleansed, but -- Naaman the  Syrian.' 
42N 004:028 And all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, hearing  these things, 
42N 004:029 and having risen, they put him forth without the city, and  brought him unto the brow of the hill on which their city had  been built -- to cast him down headlong, 
42N 004:030 and he, having gone through the midst of them, went away. 
42N 004:031 And he came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and was  teaching them on the sabbaths, 
42N 004:032 and they were astonished at his teaching, because his word  was with authority. 
42N 004:033 And in the synagogue was a man, having a spirit of an  unclean demon, and he cried out with a great voice, 
42N 004:034 saying, `Away, what -- to us and to thee, Jesus, O  Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who  thou art -- the Holy One of God.' 
42N 004:035 And Jesus did rebuke him, saying, `Be silenced, and come  forth out of him;' and the demon having cast him into the  midst, came forth from him, having hurt him nought; 
42N 004:036 and amazement came upon all, and they were speaking  together, with one another, saying, `What [is] this word, that  with authority and power he doth command the unclean spirits,  and they come forth?' 
42N 004:037 and there was going forth a fame concerning him to every  place of the region round about. 
42N 004:038 And having risen out of the synagogue, he entered into the  house of Simon, and the mother-in-law of Simon was pressed  with a great fever, and they did ask him about her, 
42N 004:039 and having stood over her, he rebuked the fever, and it  left her, and presently, having risen, she was ministering to  them. 
42N 004:040 And at the setting of the sun, all, as many as had any  ailing with manifold sicknesses, brought them unto him, and he  on each one of them [his] hands having put, did heal them. 
42N 004:041 And demons also were coming forth from many, crying out and  saying -- `Thou art the Christ, the Son of God;' and rebuking,  he did not suffer them to speak, because they knew him to be  the Christ. 
42N 004:042 And day having come, having gone forth, he went on to a  desert place, and the multitudes were seeking him, and they  came unto him, and were staying him -- not to go on from them, 
42N 004:043 and he said unto them -- `Also to the other cities it  behoveth me to proclaim good news of the reign of God, because  for this I have been sent;' 
42N 004:044 and he was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee. 
42N 005:001 And it came to pass, in the multitude pressing on him to  hear the word of God, that he was standing beside the lake of  Gennesaret, 
42N 005:002 and he saw two boats standing beside the lake, and the  fishers, having gone away from them, were washing the nets, 
42N 005:003 and having entered into one of the boats, that was Simon's,  he asked him to put back a little from the land, and having sat  down, was teaching the multitudes out of the boat. 
42N 005:004 And when he left off speaking, he said unto Simon, `Put back  to the deep, and let down your nets for a draught;' 
42N 005:005 and Simon answering said to him, `Master, through the whole  night, having laboured, we have taken nothing, but at thy  saying I will let down the net.' 
42N 005:006 And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of  fishes, and their net was breaking, 
42N 005:007 and they beckoned to the partners, who [are] in the other  boat, having come, to help them; and they came, and filled both  the boats, so that they were sinking. 
42N 005:008 And Simon Peter having seen, fell down at the knees of  Jesus, saying, `Depart from me, because I am a sinful man, O  lord;' 
42N 005:009 for astonishment seized him, and all those with him, at the  draught of the fishes that they took, 
42N 005:010 and in like manner also James and John, sons of Zebedee,  who were partners with Simon; and Jesus said unto Simon, `Fear  not, henceforth thou shalt be catching men;' 
42N 005:011 and they, having brought the boats upon the land, having  left all, did follow him. 
42N 005:012 And it came to pass, in his being in one of the cities,  that lo, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having  fallen on [his] face, he besought him, saying, `Sir, if thou  mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me;' 
42N 005:013 and having stretched forth [his] hand, he touched him,  having said, `I will; be thou cleansed;' and immediately the  leprosy went away from him. 
42N 005:014 And he charged him to tell no one, `But, having gone away,  shew thyself to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing  according as Moses directed, for a testimony to them;' 
42N 005:015 but the more was the report going abroad concerning him,  and great multitudes were coming together to hear, and to be  healed by him of their infirmities, 
42N 005:016 and he was withdrawing himself in the desert places and was  praying. 
42N 005:017 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he was  teaching, and there were sitting by Pharisees and teachers of  the Law, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and  Judea, and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was -- to heal  them. 
42N 005:018 And lo, men bearing upon a couch a man, who hath been  struck with palsy, and they were seeking to bring him in, and  to place before him, 
42N 005:019 and not having found by what way they may bring him in  because of the multitude, having gone up on the house-top,  through the tiles they let him down, with the little couch,  into the midst before Jesus, 
42N 005:020 and he having seen their faith, said to him, `Man, thy sins  have been forgiven thee.' 
42N 005:021 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying,  `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to  forgive sins, except God only?' 
42N 005:022 And Jesus having known their reasonings, answering, said  unto them, `What reason ye in your hearts? 
42N 005:023 which is easier -- to say, Thy sins have been forgiven  thee? or to say, Arise, and walk? 
42N 005:024 `And that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority  upon the earth to forgive sins -- (he said to the one struck  with palsy) -- I say to thee, Arise, and having taken up thy  little couch, be going on to thy house.' 
42N 005:025 And presently having risen before them, having taken up  [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house,  glorifying God, 
42N 005:026 and astonishment took all, and they were glorifying God,  and were filled with fear, saying -- `We saw strange things  to-day.' 
42N 005:027 And after these things he went forth, and beheld a  tax-gatherer, by name Levi, sitting at the tax-office, and said  to him, `Be following me;' 
42N 005:028 and he, having left all, having arisen, did follow him. 
42N 005:029 And Levi made a great entertainment to him in his house,  and there was a great multitude of tax-gatherers and others who  were with them reclining (at meat), 
42N 005:030 and the scribes and the Pharisees among them were murmuring  at his disciples, saying, `Wherefore with tax-gatherers and  sinners do ye eat and drink?' 
42N 005:031 And Jesus answering said unto them, `They who are well have  no need of a physician, but they that are ill: 
42N 005:032 I came not to call righteous men, but sinners, to  reformation.' 
42N 005:033 And they said unto him, `Wherefore do the disciples of John  fast often, and make supplications -- in like manner also  those of the Pharisees -- but thine do eat and drink?' 
42N 005:034 And he said unto them, `Are ye able to make the sons of the  bride-chamber -- in the bridegroom being with them -- to fast? 
42N 005:035 but days will come, and, when the bridegroom may be taken  away from them, then they shall fast in those days.' 
42N 005:036 And he spake also a simile unto them -- `No one a patch of  new clothing doth put on old clothing, and if otherwise, the  new also doth make a rent, and with the old the patch doth not  agree, that [is] from the new. 
42N 005:037 `And no one doth put new wine into old skins, and if  otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and itself will  be poured out, and the skins will be destroyed; 
42N 005:038 but new wine into new skins is to be put, and both are  preserved together; 
42N 005:039 and no one having drunk old [wine], doth immediately wish  new, for he saith, The old is better.' 
42N 006:001 And it came to pass, on the second-first sabbath, as he is  going through the corn fields, that his disciples were plucking  the ears, and were eating, rubbing with the hands, 
42N 006:002 and certain of the Pharisees said to them, `Why do ye that  which is not lawful to do on the sabbaths?' 
42N 006:003 And Jesus answering said unto them, `Did ye not read even  this that David did, when he hungered, himself and those who  are with him, 
42N 006:004 how he went into the house of God, and the loaves of the  presentation did take, and did eat, and gave also to those  with him, which it is not lawful to eat, except only to the  priests?' 
42N 006:005 and he said to them, -- `The Son of Man is lord also of the  sabbath.' 
42N 006:006 And it came to pass also, on another sabbath, that he goeth  into the synagogue, and teacheth, and there was there a man,  and his right hand was withered, 
42N 006:007 and the scribes and the Pharisees were watching him, if on  the sabbath he will heal, that they might find an accusation  against him. 
42N 006:008 And he himself had known their reasonings, and said to the  man having the withered hand, `Rise, and stand in the midst;'  and he having risen, stood. 
42N 006:009 Then said Jesus unto them, `I will question you something:  Is it lawful on the sabbaths to do good, or to do evil? life  to save or to kill?' 
42N 006:010 And having looked round on them all, he said to the man,  `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he did so, and his hand was  restored whole as the other; 
42N 006:011 and they were filled with madness, and were speaking with  one another what they might do to Jesus. 
42N 006:012 And it came to pass in those days, he went forth to the  mountain to pray, and was passing the night in the prayer of  God, 
42N 006:013 and when it became day, he called near his disciples, and  having chosen from them twelve, whom also he named apostles, 
42N 006:014 (Simon, whom also he named Peter, and Andrew his brother,  James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, 
42N 006:015 Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called  Zelotes, 
42N 006:016 Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became  betrayer;) 
42N 006:017 and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot,  and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the  people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and  Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their  sicknesses, 
42N 006:018 and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were  healed, 
42N 006:019 and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because  power from him was going forth, and he was healing all. 
42N 006:020 And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said:  `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God. 
42N 006:021 `Happy those hungering now -- because ye shall be filled.  `Happy those weeping now -- because ye shall laugh. 
42N 006:022 `Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall  separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your  name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake -- 
42N 006:023 rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is]  great in the heaven, for according to these things were their  fathers doing to the prophets. 
42N 006:024 `But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your  comfort. 
42N 006:025 `Wo to you who have been filled -- because ye shall hunger.  `Wo to you who are laughing now -- because ye shall mourn and  weep. 
42N 006:026 `Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for  according to these things were their fathers doing to false  prophets. 
42N 006:027 `But I say to you who are hearing, Love your enemies, do  good to those hating you, 
42N 006:028 bless those cursing you, and pray for those accusing you  falsely; 
42N 006:029 and to him smiting thee upon the cheek, give also the  other, and from him taking away from thee the mantle, also the  coat thou mayest not keep back. 
42N 006:030 `And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and  from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again; 
42N 006:031 and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them  in like manner; 
42N 006:032 and -- if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for  also the sinful love those loving them; 
42N 006:033 and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace  have ye? for also the sinful do the same; 
42N 006:034 and if ye lend [to those] of whom ye hope to receive back,  what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners -- that  they may receive again as much. 
42N 006:035 `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for  nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be  sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and  evil; 
42N 006:036 be ye therefore merciful, as also your Father is merciful. 
42N 006:037 `And judge not, and ye may not be judged; condemn not, and  ye may not be condemned; release, and ye shall be released. 
42N 006:038 `Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, pressed,  and shaken, and running over, they shall give into your bosom;  for with that measure with which ye measure, it shall be  measured to you again.' 
42N 006:039 And he spake a simile to them, `Is blind able to lead  blind? shall they not both fall into a pit? 
42N 006:040 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one  perfected shall be as his teacher. 
42N 006:041 `And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's  eye, and the beam that [is] in thine own eye dost not  consider? 
42N 006:042 or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother,  suffer, I may take out the mote that [is] in thine eye --  thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite,  take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt  see clearly to take out the mote that [is] in thy brother's  eye. 
42N 006:043 `For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad  tree making good fruit; 
42N 006:044 for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from  thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a  grape. 
42N 006:045 `The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth  bring forth that which [is] good; and the evil man out of the  evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which [is]  evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth  speak. 
42N 006:046 `And why do ye call me, Lord, Lord, and do not what I say? 
42N 006:047 Every one who is coming unto me, and is hearing my words,  and is doing them, I will shew you to whom he is like; 
42N 006:048 he is like to a man building a house, who did dig, and  deepen, and laid a foundation upon the rock, and a flood  having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not  able to shake it, for it had been founded upon the rock. 
42N 006:049 `And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having  builded a house upon the earth, without a foundation, against  which the stream brake forth, and immediately it fell, and the  ruin of that house became great.' 
42N 007:001 And when he completed all his sayings in the ears of the  people, he went into Capernaum; 
42N 007:002 and a certain centurion's servant being ill, was about to  die, who was much valued by him, 
42N 007:003 and having heard about Jesus, he sent unto him elders of the  Jews, beseeching him, that having come he might thoroughly save  his servant. 
42N 007:004 And they, having come near unto Jesus, were calling upon him  earnestly, saying -- `He is worthy to whom thou shalt do this, 
42N 007:005 for he doth love our nation, and the synagogue he did build  to us.' 
42N 007:006 And Jesus was going on with them, and now when he is not far  distant from the house the centurion sent unto him friends,  saying to him, `Sir, be not troubled, for I am not worthy that  under my roof thou mayest enter; 
42N 007:007 wherefore not even myself thought I worthy to come unto  thee, but say in a word, and my lad shall be healed; 
42N 007:008 for I also am a man placed under authority, having under  myself soldiers, and I say to this [one], Go, and he goeth;  and to another, Be coming, and he cometh; and to my servant,  Do this, and he doth [it].' 
42N 007:009 And having heard these things Jesus wondered at him, and  having turned to the multitude following him, he said, `I say  to you, not even in Israel so much faith did I find;' 
42N 007:010 and those sent, having turned back to the house, found the  ailing servant in health. 
42N 007:011 And it came to pass, on the morrow, he was going on to a  city called Nain, and there were going with him many of his  disciples, and a great multitude, 
42N 007:012 and as he came nigh to the gate of the city, then, lo, one  dead was being carried forth, an only son of his mother, and  she a widow, and a great multitude of the city was with her. 
42N 007:013 And the Lord having seen her, was moved with compassion  towards her, and said to her, `Be not weeping;' 
42N 007:014 and having come near, he touched the bier, and those  bearing [it] stood still, and he said, `Young man, to thee I  say, Arise;' 
42N 007:015 and the dead sat up, and began to speak, and he gave him to  his mother; 
42N 007:016 and fear took hold of all, and they were glorifying God,  saying -- `A great prophet hath risen among us,' and -- `God  did look upon His people.' 
42N 007:017 And the account of this went forth in all Judea about him,  and in all the region around. 
42N 007:018 And the disciples of John told him about all these things, 
42N 007:019 and John having called near a certain two of his disciples,  sent unto Jesus, saying, `Art thou he who is coming, or for  another do we look?' 
42N 007:020 And having come near to him, the men said, `John the  Baptist sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he who is coming,  or for another do we look?' 
42N 007:021 And in that hour he cured many from sicknesses, and  plagues, and evil spirits, and to many blind he granted sight. 
42N 007:022 And Jesus answering said to them, `Having gone on, report  to John what ye saw and heard, that blind men do see again,  lame do walk, lepers are cleansed, deaf do hear, dead are  raised, poor have good news proclaimed; 
42N 007:023 and happy is he whoever may not be stumbled in me.' 
42N 007:024 And the messengers of John having gone away, he began to  say unto the multitudes concerning John: `What have ye gone  forth to the wilderness to look on? a reed by the wind shaken? 
42N 007:025 but what have ye gone forth to see? a man in soft garments  clothed? lo, they in splendid apparellings, and living in  luxury, are in the houses of kings! 
42N 007:026 `But what have ye gone forth to see? a prophet? Yes, I say  to you, and much more than a prophet: 
42N 007:027 this is he concerning whom it hath been written, Lo, I send  my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before  thee; 
42N 007:028 for I say to you, a greater prophet, among those born of  women, than John the Baptist there is not; but the least in  the reign of God is greater than he.' 
42N 007:029 And all the people having heard, and the tax-gatherers,  declared God righteous, having been baptized with the baptism  of John, 
42N 007:030 but the Pharisees, and the lawyers, the counsel of God did  put away for themselves, not having been baptized by him. 
42N 007:031 And the Lord said, `To what, then, shall I liken the men of  this generation? and to what are they like? 
42N 007:032 they are like to children, to those sitting in a  market-place, and calling one to another, and saying, We piped  to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not  weep! 
42N 007:033 `For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor  drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a demon; 
42N 007:034 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and ye say, Lo, a  man, a glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of tax-gatherers  and sinners; 
42N 007:035 and the wisdom was justified from all her children.' 
42N 007:036 And a certain one of the Pharisees was asking him that he  might eat with him, and having gone into the house of the  Pharisee he reclined (at meat), 
42N 007:037 and lo, a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having known  that he reclineth (at meat) in the house of the Pharisee,  having provided an alabaster box of ointment, 
42N 007:038 and having stood behind, beside his feet, weeping, she  began to wet his feet with the tears, and with the hairs of  her head she was wiping, and was kissing his feet, and was  anointing with the ointment. 
42N 007:039 And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake  within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would  have known who and of what kind [is] the woman who doth touch  him, that she is a sinner.' 
42N 007:040 And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something  to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.' 
42N 007:041 `Two debtors were to a certain creditor; the one was owing  five hundred denaries, and the other fifty; 
42N 007:042 and they not having [wherewith] to give back, he forgave  both; which then of them, say thou, will love him more?' 
42N 007:043 And Simon answering said, `I suppose that to whom he  forgave the more;' and he said to him, `Rightly thou didst  judge.' 
42N 007:044 And having turned unto the woman, he said to Simon, `Seest  thou this woman? I entered into thy house; water for my feet  thou didst not give, but this woman with tears did wet my  feet, and with the hairs of her head did wipe; 
42N 007:045 a kiss to me thou didst not give, but this woman, from what  [time] I came in, did not cease kissing my feet; 
42N 007:046 with oil my head thou didst not anoint, but this woman with  ointment did anoint my feet; 
42N 007:047 therefore I say to thee, her many sins have been forgiven,  because she did love much; but to whom little is forgiven,  little he doth love.' 
42N 007:048 And he said to her, `Thy sins have been forgiven;' 
42N 007:049 and those reclining with him (at meat) began to say within  themselves, `Who is this, who also doth forgive sins?' 
42N 007:050 and he said unto the woman, `Thy faith have saved thee, be  going on to peace.' 
42N 008:001 And it came to pass thereafter, that he was going through  every city and village, preaching and proclaiming good news of  the reign of God, and the twelve [are] with him, 
42N 008:002 and certain women, who were healed of evil spirits and  infirmities, Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven  demons had gone forth, 
42N 008:003 and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and  many others, who were ministering to him from their substance. 
42N 008:004 And a great multitude having gathered, and those who from  city and city were coming unto him, he spake by a simile: 
42N 008:005 `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing  some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and  the fowls of the heaven did devour it. 
42N 008:006 `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did  wither, through not having moisture. 
42N 008:007 `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having  sprung up with it, did choke it. 
42N 008:008 `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up,  it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was  calling, `He having ears to hear -- let him hear.' 
42N 008:009 And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may  this simile be?' 
42N 008:010 And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets  of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing  they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 
42N 008:011 `And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, 
42N 008:012 and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the  Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having  believed, they may be saved. 
42N 008:013 `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear,  with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a  time believe, and in time of temptation fall away. 
42N 008:014 `And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have  heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and  pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion. 
42N 008:015 `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an  upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain [it],  and bear fruit in continuance. 
42N 008:016 `And no one having lighted a lamp doth cover it with a  vessel, or under a couch doth put [it]; but upon a lamp-stand  he doth put [it], that those coming in may see the light, 
42N 008:017 for nothing is secret, that shall not become manifest, nor  hid, that shall not be known, and become manifest. 
42N 008:018 `See, therefore, how ye hear, for whoever may have, there  shall be given to him, and whoever may not have, also what he  seemeth to have, shall be taken from him.' 
42N 008:019 And there came unto him his mother and brethren, and they  were not able to get to him because of the multitude, 
42N 008:020 and it was told him, saying, `Thy mother and thy brethren  do stand without, wishing to see thee;' 
42N 008:021 and he answering said unto them, `My mother and my  brethren! they are those who the word of God are hearing, and  doing.' 
42N 008:022 And it came to pass, on one of the days, that he himself  went into a boat with his disciples, and he said unto them,  `We may go over to the other side of the lake;' and they set  forth, 
42N 008:023 and as they are sailing he fell deeply asleep, and there  came down a storm of wind to the lake, and they were filling,  and were in peril. 
42N 008:024 And having come near, they awoke him, saying, `Master,  master, we perish;' and he, having arisen, rebuked the wind  and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there came a  calm, 
42N 008:025 and he said to them, `Where is your faith?' and they being  afraid did wonder, saying unto one another, `Who, then, is  this, that even the winds he doth command, and the water, and  they obey him?' 
42N 008:026 And they sailed down to the region of the Gadarenes, that  is over-against Galilee, 
42N 008:027 and he having gone forth upon the land, there met him a  certain man, out of the city, who had demons for a long time,  and with a garment was not clothed, and in a house was not  abiding, but in the tombs, 
42N 008:028 and having seen Jesus, and having cried out, he fell before  him, and with a loud voice, said, `What -- to me and to thee,  Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, mayest thou not  afflict me!' 
42N 008:029 For he commanded the unclean spirit to come forth from the  man, for many times it had caught him, and he was being bound  with chains and fetters -- guarded, and breaking asunder the  bonds he was driven by the demons to the deserts. 
42N 008:030 And Jesus questioned him, saying, `What is thy name?' and  he said, `Legion,' (because many demons were entered into him,) 
42N 008:031 and he was calling on him, that he may not command them to  go away to the abyss, 
42N 008:032 and there was there a herd of many swine feeding in the  mountain, and they were calling on him, that he might suffer  them to enter into these, and he suffered them, 
42N 008:033 and the demons having gone forth from the man, did enter  into the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep to the lake,  and were choked. 
42N 008:034 And those feeding [them], having seen what was come to  pass, fled, and having gone, told [it] to the city, and to the  fields; 
42N 008:035 and they came forth to see what was come to pass, and they  came unto Jesus, and found the man sitting, out of whom the  demons had gone forth, clothed, and right-minded, at the feet  of Jesus, and they were afraid; 
42N 008:036 and those also having seen [it], told them how the demoniac  was saved. 
42N 008:037 And the whole multitude of the region of the Gadarenes  round about asked him to go away from them, because with great  fear they were pressed, and he having entered into the boat,  did turn back. 
42N 008:038 And the man from whom the demons had gone forth was  beseeching of him to be with him, and Jesus sent him away,  saying, 
42N 008:039 `Turn back to thy house, and tell how great things God did  to thee;' and he went away through all the city proclaiming  how great things Jesus did to him. 
42N 008:040 And it came to pass, in the turning back of Jesus, the  multitude received him, for they were all looking for him, 
42N 008:041 and lo, there came a man, whose name [is] Jairus, and he  was a chief of the synagogue, and having fallen at the feet of  Jesus, was calling on him to come to his house; 
42N 008:042 because he had an only daughter about twelve years [old],  and she was dying. And in his going away, the multitudes were  thronging him, 
42N 008:043 and a woman, having an issue of blood for twelve years,  who, having spent on physicians all her living, was not able to  be healed by any, 
42N 008:044 having come near behind, touched the fringe of his garment,  and presently the issue of her blood stood. 
42N 008:045 And Jesus said, `Who [is] it that touched me?' and all  denying, Peter and those with him said, `Master, the multitudes  press thee, and throng [thee], and thou dost say, Who [is] it  that touched me!' 
42N 008:046 And Jesus said, `Some one did touch me, for I knew power  having gone forth from me.' 
42N 008:047 And the woman, having seen that she was not hid, trembling,  came, and having fallen before him, for what cause she touched  him declared to him before all the people, and how she was  healed presently; 
42N 008:048 and he said to her, `Take courage, daughter, thy faith hath  saved thee, be going on to peace.' 
42N 008:049 While he is yet speaking, there doth come a certain one  from the chief of the synagogue's [house], saying to him --  `Thy daughter hath died, harass not the Teacher;' 
42N 008:050 and Jesus having heard, answered him, saying, `Be not  afraid, only believe, and she shall be saved.' 
42N 008:051 And having come to the house, he suffered no one to go in,  except Peter, and James, and John, and the father of the child,  and the mother; 
42N 008:052 and they were all weeping, and beating themselves for her,  and he said, `Weep not, she did not die, but doth sleep; 
42N 008:053 and they were deriding him, knowing that she did die; 
42N 008:054 and he having put all forth without, and having taken hold  of her hand, called, saying, `Child, arise;' 
42N 008:055 and her spirit came back, and she arose presently, and he  directed that there be given to her to eat; 
42N 008:056 and her parents were amazed, but he charged them to say to  no one what was come to pass. 
42N 009:001 And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave  them power and authority over all the demons, and to cure  sicknesses, 
42N 009:002 and he sent them to proclaim the reign of God, and to heal  the ailing. 
42N 009:003 And he said unto them, `Take nothing for the way, neither  staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats  each; 
42N 009:004 and into whatever house ye may enter, there remain, and  thence depart; 
42N 009:005 and as many as may not receive you, going forth from that  city, even the dust from your feet shake off, for a testimony  against them.' 
42N 009:006 And going forth they were going through the several  villages, proclaiming good news, and healing everywhere. 
42N 009:007 And Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things being done by  him, and was perplexed, because it was said by certain, that  John hath been raised out of the dead; 
42N 009:008 and by certain, that Elijah did appear, and by others, that  a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen; 
42N 009:009 and Herod said, `John I did behead, but who is this  concerning whom I hear such things?' and he was seeking to see  him. 
42N 009:010 And the apostles having turned back, declared to him how  great things they did, and having taken them, he withdrew by  himself to a desert place of a city called Bethsaida, 
42N 009:011 and the multitudes having known did follow him, and having  received them, he was speaking to them concerning the reign of  God, and those having need of service he cured. 
42N 009:012 And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come  near, said to him, `Let away the multitude, that having gone  to the villages and the fields round about, they may lodge and  may find provision, because here we are in a desert place.' 
42N 009:013 And he said unto them, `Give ye them to eat;' and they  said, `We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes:  except, having gone, we may buy for all this people victuals;' 
42N 009:014 for they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his  disciples, `Cause them to recline in companies, in each fifty;' 
42N 009:015 and they did so, and made all to recline; 
42N 009:016 and having taken the five loaves, and the two fishes,  having looked up to the heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and  was giving to the disciples to set before the multitude; 
42N 009:017 and they did eat, and were all filled, and there was taken  up what was over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets. 
42N 009:018 And it came to pass, as he is praying alone, the disciples  were with him, and he questioned them, saying, `Who do the  multitudes say me to be?' 
42N 009:019 And they answering said, `John the Baptist; and others,  Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was  risen;' 
42N 009:020 and he said to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?'  and Peter answering said, `The Christ of God.' 
42N 009:021 And having charged them, he commanded [them] to say this to  no one, 
42N 009:022 saying -- `It behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many  things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests,  and scribes, and to be killed, and the third day to be raised.' 
42N 009:023 And he said unto all, `If any one doth will to come after  me, let him disown himself, and take up his cross daily, and  follow me; 
42N 009:024 for whoever may will to save his life, shall lose it, and  whoever may lose his life for my sake, he shall save it; 
42N 009:025 for what is a man profited, having gained the whole world,  and having lost or having forfeited himself? 
42N 009:026 `For whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, of this  one shall the Son of Man be ashamed, when he may come in his  glory, and the Father's, and the holy messengers'; 
42N 009:027 and I say to you, truly, there are certain of those here  standing, who shall not taste of death till they may see the  reign of God.' 
42N 009:028 And it came to pass, after these words, as it were eight  days, that having taken Peter, and John, and James, he went up  to the mountain to pray, 
42N 009:029 and it came to pass, in his praying, the appearance of his  face became altered, and his garment white -- sparkling. 
42N 009:030 And lo, two men were speaking together with him, who were  Moses and Elijah, 
42N 009:031 who having appeared in glory, spake of his outgoing that he  was about to fulfil in Jerusalem, 
42N 009:032 but Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep, and  having waked, they saw his glory, and the two men standing  with him. 
42N 009:033 And it came to pass, in their parting from him, Peter said  unto Jesus, `Master, it is good to us to be here; and we may  make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one  for Elijah,' not knowing what he saith: 
42N 009:034 and as he was speaking these things, there came a cloud,  and overshadowed them, and they feared in their entering into  the cloud, 
42N 009:035 and a voice came out of the cloud saying, `This is My Son  -- the Beloved; hear ye him;' 
42N 009:036 and when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone; and  they were silent, and declared to no one in those days  anything of what they have seen. 
42N 009:037 And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down  from the mount, there met him a great multitude, 
42N 009:038 and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying,  `Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my  only begotten; 
42N 009:039 and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry  out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth  from him, bruising him, 
42N 009:040 and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out,  and they were not able.' 
42N 009:041 And Jesus answering said, `O generation, unstedfast and  perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring  near hither thy son;' 
42N 009:042 and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore  [him] sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed  the youth, and gave him back to his father. 
42N 009:043 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while  all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto  his disciples, 
42N 009:044 `Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is  about to be delivered up to the hands of men.' 
42N 009:045 And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled  from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were  afraid to ask him about this saying. 
42N 009:046 And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be  greater of them? 
42N 009:047 and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having  taken hold of a child, set him beside himself, 
42N 009:048 and said to them, `Whoever may receive this child in my  name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive  Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all -- he shall  be great.' 
42N 009:049 And John answering said, `Master, we saw a certain one in  thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because  he doth not follow with us;' 
42N 009:050 and Jesus said unto him, `Forbid not, for he who is not  against us, is for us.' 
42N 009:051 And it came to pass, in the completing of the days of his  being taken up, that he fixed his face to go on to Jerusalem, 
42N 009:052 and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on,  they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him, 
42N 009:053 and they did not receive him, because his face was going on  to Jerusalem. 
42N 009:054 And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir,  wilt thou [that] we may command fire to come down from the  heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?' 
42N 009:055 and having turned, he rebuked them, and said, `Ye have not  known of what spirit ye are; 
42N 009:056 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but  to save;' and they went on to another village. 
42N 009:057 And it came to pass, as they are going on in the way, a  certain one said unto him, `I will follow thee wherever thou  mayest go, sir;' 
42N 009:058 and Jesus said to him, `The foxes have holes, and the fowls  of the heaven places of rest, but the Son of Man hath not  where he may recline the head.' 
42N 009:059 And he said unto another, `Be following me;' and he said,  `Sir, permit me, having gone away, first to bury my father;' 
42N 009:060 and Jesus said to him, `Suffer the dead to bury their own  dead, and thou, having gone away, publish the reign of God.' 
42N 009:061 And another also said, `I will follow thee, sir, but first  permit me to take leave of those in my house;' 
42N 009:062 and Jesus said unto him, `No one having put his hand on a  plough, and looking back, is fit for the reign of God.' 
42N 010:001 And after these things, the Lord did appoint also other  seventy, and sent them by twos before his face, to every city  and place whither he himself was about to come, 
42N 010:002 then said he unto them, `The harvest indeed [is] abundant,  but the workmen few; beseech ye then the Lord of the harvest,  that He may put forth workmen to His harvest. 
42N 010:003 `Go away; lo, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of  wolves; 
42N 010:004 carry no bag, no scrip, nor sandals; and salute no one on  the way; 
42N 010:005 and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to  this house; 
42N 010:006 and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on  it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn  back. 
42N 010:007 `And in that house remain, eating and drinking the things  they have, for worthy [is] the workman of his hire; go not from  house to house, 
42N 010:008 and into whatever city ye enter, and they may receive you,  eat the things set before you, 
42N 010:009 and heal the ailing in it, and say to them, The reign of  God hath come nigh to you. 
42N 010:010 `And into whatever city ye do enter, and they may not  receive you, having gone forth to its broad places, say, 
42N 010:011 And the dust that hath cleaved to us, from your city, we  do wipe off against you, but this know ye, that the reign of  God hath come nigh to you; 
42N 010:012 and I say to you, that for Sodom in that day it shall be  more tolerable than for that city. 
42N 010:013 `Wo to thee, Chorazin; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in  Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done  in you, long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, they had  reformed; 
42N 010:014 but for Tyre and Sidon it shall be more tolerable in the  judgment than for you. 
42N 010:015 `And thou, Capernaum, which unto the heaven wast exalted,  unto hades thou shalt be brought down. 
42N 010:016 `He who is hearing you, doth hear me; and he who is  putting you away, doth put me away; and he who is putting me  away, doth put away Him who sent me.' 
42N 010:017 And the seventy turned back with joy, saying, `Sir, and  the demons are being subjected to us in thy name;' 
42N 010:018 and he said to them, `I was beholding the Adversary, as  lightning from the heaven having fallen; 
42N 010:019 lo, I give to you the authority to tread upon serpents and  scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing by  any means shall hurt you; 
42N 010:020 but, in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subjected  to you, but rejoice rather that your names were written in the  heavens.' 
42N 010:021 In that hour was Jesus glad in the Spirit, and said, `I do  confess to thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth,  that Thou didst hide these things from wise men and  understanding, and didst reveal them to babes; yes, Father,  because so it became good pleasure before Thee. 
42N 010:022 `All things were delivered up to me by my Father, and no  one doth know who the Son is, except the Father, and who the  Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may wish to  reveal [Him].' 
42N 010:023 And having turned unto the disciples, he said, by  themselves, `Happy the eyes that are perceiving what ye  perceive; 
42N 010:024 for I say to you, that many prophets and kings did wish to  see what ye perceive, and did not see, and to hear what ye  hear, and did not hear.' 
42N 010:025 And lo, a certain lawyer stood up, trying him, and saying,  `Teacher, what having done, life age-during shall I inherit?' 
42N 010:026 And he said unto him, `In the law what hath been written?  how dost thou read?' 
42N 010:027 And he answering said, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God  out of all thy heart, and out of all thy soul, and out of all  thy strength, and out of all thy understanding, and thy  neighbour as thyself.' 
42N 010:028 And he said to him, `Rightly thou didst answer; this do,  and thou shalt live.' 
42N 010:029 And he, willing to declare himself righteous, said unto  Jesus, `And who is my neighbour?' 
42N 010:030 and Jesus having taken up [the word], said, `A certain man  was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among  robbers, and having stripped him and inflicted blows, they went  away, leaving [him] half dead. 
42N 010:031 `And by a coincidence a certain priest was going down in  that way, and having seen him, he passed over on the opposite  side; 
42N 010:032 and in like manner also, a Levite, having been about the  place, having come and seen, passed over on the opposite side. 
42N 010:033 `But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came along him, and  having seen him, he was moved with compassion, 
42N 010:034 and having come near, he bound up his wounds, pouring on  oil and wine, and having lifted him up on his own beast, he  brought him to an inn, and was careful of him; 
42N 010:035 and on the morrow, going forth, taking out two denaries,  he gave to the innkeeper, and said to him, Be careful of him,  and whatever thou mayest spend more, I, in my coming again,  will give back to thee. 
42N 010:036 `Who, then, of these three, seemeth to thee to have become  neighbour of him who fell among the robbers?' 
42N 010:037 and he said, `He who did the kindness with him,' then  Jesus said to him, `Be going on, and thou be doing in like  manner.' 
42N 010:038 And it came to pass, in their going on, that he entered  into a certain village, and a certain woman, by name Martha,  did receive him into her house, 
42N 010:039 and she had also a sister, called Mary, who also, having  seated herself beside the feet of Jesus, was hearing the word, 
42N 010:040 and Martha was distracted about much serving, and having  stood by him, she said, `Sir, dost thou not care that my sister  left me alone to serve? say then to her, that she may partake  along with me.' 
42N 010:041 And Jesus answering said to her, `Martha, Martha, thou art  anxious and disquieted about many things, 
42N 010:042 but of one thing there is need, and Mary the good part did  choose, that shall not be taken away from her.' 
42N 011:001 And it came to pass, in his being in a certain place  praying, as he ceased, a certain one of his disciples said  unto him, `Sir, teach us to pray, as also John taught his  disciples.' 
42N 011:002 And he said to them, `When ye may pray, say ye: Our Father  who art in the heavens; hallowed be Thy name: Thy reign come;  Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on earth; 
42N 011:003 our appointed bread be giving us daily; 
42N 011:004 and forgive us our sins, for also we ourselves forgive  every one indebted to us; and mayest Thou not bring us into  temptation; but do Thou deliver us from the evil.' 
42N 011:005 And he said unto them, `Who of you shall have a friend, and  shall go on unto him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend,  lend me three loaves, 
42N 011:006 seeing a friend of mine came out of the way unto me, and I  have not what I shall set before him, 
42N 011:007 and he from within answering may say, Do not give me  trouble, already the door hath been shut, and my children with  me are in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to  thee. 
42N 011:008 `I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having  risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his  importunity, having risen, he will give him as many as he doth  need; 
42N 011:009 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; 
42N 011:010 for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is  seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be  opened. 
42N 011:011 `And of which of you -- the father -- if the son shall ask  a loaf, a stone will he present to him? and if a fish, will he  instead of a fish, a serpent present to him? 
42N 011:012 and if he may ask an egg, will he present to him a  scorpion? 
42N 011:013 If, then, ye, being evil, have known good gifts to be  giving to your children, how much more shall the Father who is  from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!' 
42N 011:014 And he was casting forth a demon, and it was dumb, and it  came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the dumb man spake,  and the multitudes wondered, 
42N 011:015 and certain of them said, `By Beelzeboul, ruler of the  demons, he doth cast forth the demons;' 
42N 011:016 and others, tempting, a sign out of heaven from him were  asking. 
42N 011:017 And he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, `Every  kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and  house against house doth fall; 
42N 011:018 and if also the Adversary against himself was divided, how  shall his kingdom be made to stand? for ye say, by Beelzeboul  is my casting forth the demons. 
42N 011:019 `But if I by Beelzeboul cast forth the demons -- your  sons, by whom do they cast forth? because of this your judges  they shall be; 
42N 011:020 but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then  come unawares upon you did the reign of God. 
42N 011:021 `When the strong man armed may keep his hall, in peace are  his goods; 
42N 011:022 but when the stronger than he, having come upon [him], may  overcome him, his whole-armour he doth take away in which he  had trusted, and his spoils he distributeth; 
42N 011:023 he who is not with me is against me, and he who is not  gathering with me doth scatter. 
42N 011:024 `When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man it  walketh through waterless places seeking rest, and not  finding, it saith, I will turn back to my house whence I came  forth; 
42N 011:025 and having come, it findeth [it] swept and adorned; 
42N 011:026 then doth it go, and take to it seven other spirits more  evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and  the last of that man becometh worst than the first.' 
42N 011:027 And it came to pass, in his saying these things, a certain  woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to  him, `Happy the womb that carried thee, and the paps that thou  didst suck!' 
42N 011:028 And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of  God, and keeping [it]!' 
42N 011:029 And the multitudes crowding together upon him, he began to  say, `This generation is evil, a sign it doth seek after, and a  sign shall not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the  prophet, 
42N 011:030 for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall  the Son of Man be to this generation. 
42N 011:031 `A queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with  the men of this generation, and shall condemn them, because she  came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;  and lo, greater than Solomon here! 
42N 011:032 `Men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this  generation, and shall condemn it, because they reformed at the  proclamation of Jonah; and lo, greater than Jonah here! 
42N 011:033 `And no one having lighted a lamp, doth put [it] in a  secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lamp-stand,  that those coming in may behold the light. 
42N 011:034 `The lamp of the body is the eye, when then thine eye may  be simple, thy whole body also is lightened; and when it may be  evil, thy body also is darkened; 
42N 011:035 take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in thee be  darkness; 
42N 011:036 if then thy whole body is lightened, not having any part  darkened, the whole shall be lightened, as when the lamp by the  brightness may give thee light.' 
42N 011:037 And in [his] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking him  that he might dine with him, and having gone in, he reclined  (at meat), 
42N 011:038 and the Pharisee having seen, did wonder that he did not  first baptize himself before the dinner. 
42N 011:039 And the Lord said unto him, `Now do ye, the Pharisees, the  outside of the cup and of the plate make clean, but your  inward part is full of rapine and wickedness; 
42N 011:040 unthinking! did not He who made the outside also the  inside make? 
42N 011:041 But what ye have give ye [as] alms, and, lo, all things  are clean to you. 
42N 011:042 `But wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye tithe the mint,  and the rue, and every herb, and ye pass by the judgment, and  the love of God; these things it behoveth to do, and those not  to be neglecting. 
42N 011:043 `Wo to you, the Pharisees, because ye love the first seats  in the synagogues, and the salutations in the market-places. 
42N 011:044 `Wo to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye  are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not  known.' 
42N 011:045 And one of the lawyers answering, saith to him, `Teacher,  these things saying, us also thou dost insult;' 
42N 011:046 and he said, `And to you, the lawyers, wo! because ye  burden men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye  yourselves with one of your fingers do not touch the burdens. 
42N 011:047 `Wo to you, because ye build the tombs of the prophets,  and your fathers killed them. 
42N 011:048 Then do ye testify, and are well pleased with the works of  your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and ye do build  their tombs; 
42N 011:049 because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send  to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they shall  kill and persecute, 
42N 011:050 that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured  forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from  this generation; 
42N 011:051 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, who  perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, It  shall be required from this generation. 
42N 011:052 `Wo to you, the lawyers, because ye took away the key of  the knowledge; yourselves ye did not enter; and those coming  in, ye did hinder.' 
42N 011:053 And in his speaking these things unto them, the scribes  and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press him to  speak about many things, 
42N 011:054 laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of  his mouth, that they might accuse him. 
42N 012:001 At which time the myriads of the multitude having been  gathered together, so as to tread upon one another, he began  to say unto his disciples, first, `Take heed to yourselves of  the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; 
42N 012:002 and there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;  and hid, that shall not be known; 
42N 012:003 because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light  shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the  inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops. 
42N 012:004 `And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those  killing the body, and after these things are not having  anything over to do; 
42N 012:005 but I will show to you, whom ye may fear; Fear him who,  after the killing, is having authority to cast to the gehenna;  yes, I say to you, Fear ye Him. 
42N 012:006 `Are not five sparrows sold for two assars? and one of them  is not forgotten before God, 
42N 012:007 but even the hairs of your head have been all numbered;  therefore fear ye not, than many sparrows ye are of more value. 
42N 012:008 `And I say to you, Every one -- whoever may confess with me  before men, the Son of Man also shall confess with him before  the messengers of God, 
42N 012:009 and he who hath denied me before men, shall be denied  before the messengers of God, 
42N 012:010 and every one whoever shall say a word to the Son of Man,  it shall be forgiven to him, but to him who to the Holy Spirit  did speak evil, it shall not be forgiven. 
42N 012:011 `And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the  rulers, and the authorities, be not anxious how or what ye may  reply, or what ye may say, 
42N 012:012 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what it  behoveth [you] to say.' 
42N 012:013 And a certain one said to him, out of the multitude,  `Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the  inheritance.' 
42N 012:014 And he said to him, `Man, who set me a judge or a divider  over you?' 
42N 012:015 And he said unto them, `Observe, and beware of the  covetousness, because not in the abundance of one's goods is  his life.' 
42N 012:016 And he spake a simile unto them, saying, `Of a certain  rich man the field brought forth well; 
42N 012:017 and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What shall I  do, because I have not where I shall gather together my  fruits? 
42N 012:018 and he said, This I will do, I will take down my  storehouses, and greater ones I will build, and I will gather  together there all my products and my good things, 
42N 012:019 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good  things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be  merry. 
42N 012:020 `And God said to him, Unthinking one! this night thy soul  they shall require from thee, and what things thou didst  prepare -- to whom shall they be? 
42N 012:021 so [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not  rich toward God.' 
42N 012:022 And he said unto his disciples, `Because of this, to you I  say, Be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat; nor for  the body, what ye may put on; 
42N 012:023 the life is more than the nourishment, and the body than  the clothing. 
42N 012:024 `Consider the ravens, that they sow not, nor reap, to  which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God doth nourish  them; how much better are ye than the fowls? 
42N 012:025 and who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age  one cubit? 
42N 012:026 If, then, ye are not able for the least -- why for the  rest are ye anxious? 
42N 012:027 `Consider the lilies, how do they grow? they labour not,  nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his  glory was arrayed as one of these; 
42N 012:028 and if the herbage in the field, that to-day is, and  to-morrow into an oven is cast, God doth so clothe, how much  more you -- ye of little faith? 
42N 012:029 `And ye -- seek not what ye may eat, or what ye may drink,  and be not in suspense, 
42N 012:030 for all these things do the nations of the world seek  after, and your Father hath known that ye have need of these  things; 
42N 012:031 but, seek ye the reign of God, and all these things shall  be added to you. 
42N 012:032 `Fear not, little flock, because your Father did delight  to give you the reign; 
42N 012:033 sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags  that become not old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens,  where thief doth not come near, nor moth destroy; 
42N 012:034 for where your treasure is, there also your heart will be. 
42N 012:035 `Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning, 
42N 012:036 and ye like to men waiting for their lord, when he shall  return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and  knocked, immediately they may open to him. 
42N 012:037 `Happy those servants, whom the lord, having come, shall  find watching; verily I say to you, that he will gird himself,  and will cause them to recline (at meat), and having come  near, will minister to them; 
42N 012:038 and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third  watch he may come, and may find [it] so, happy are those  servants. 
42N 012:039 `And this know, that if the master of the house had known  what hour the thief doth come, he would have watched, and  would not have suffered his house to be broken through; 
42N 012:040 and ye, then, become ye ready, because at the hour ye  think not, the Son of Man doth come.' 
42N 012:041 And Peter said to him, `Sir, unto us this simile dost thou  speak, or also unto all?' 
42N 012:042 And the Lord said, `Who, then, is the faithful and prudent  steward whom the lord shall set over his household, to give in  season the wheat measure? 
42N 012:043 Happy that servant, whom his lord, having come, shall find  doing so; 
42N 012:044 truly I say to you, that over all his goods he will set  him. 
42N 012:045 `And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord doth  delay to come, and may begin to beat the men-servants and the  maid-servants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken; 
42N 012:046 the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he  doth not look for [him], and in an hour that he doth not know,  and will cut him off, and his portion with the unfaithful he  will appoint. 
42N 012:047 `And that servant, who having known his lord's will, and  not having prepared, nor having gone according to his will,  shall be beaten with many stripes, 
42N 012:048 and he who, not having known, and having done things  worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few; and to every one  to whom much was given, much shall be required from him; and  to whom they did commit much, more abundantly they will ask of  him. 
42N 012:049 `Fire I came to cast to the earth, and what will I if  already it was kindled? 
42N 012:050 but I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I  pressed till it may be completed! 
42N 012:051 `Think ye that peace I came to give in the earth? no, I  say to you, but rather division; 
42N 012:052 for there shall be henceforth five in one house divided --  three against two, and two against three; 
42N 012:053 a father shall be divided against a son, and a son against  a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a  mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a  daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.' 
42N 012:054 And he said also to the multitudes, `When ye may see the  cloud rising from the west, immediately ye say, A shower doth  come, and it is so; 
42N 012:055 and when -- a south wind blowing, ye say, that there will  be heat, and it is; 
42N 012:056 hypocrites! the face of the earth and of the heaven ye  have known to make proof of, but this time -- how do ye not  make proof of [it]? 
42N 012:057 `And why, also, of yourselves, judge ye not what is  righteous? 
42N 012:058 for, as thou art going away with thy opponent to the  ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest  he may drag thee unto the judge, and the judge may deliver  thee to the officer, and the officer may cast thee into  prison; 
42N 012:059 I say to thee, thou mayest not come forth thence till even  the last mite thou mayest give back.' 
42N 013:001 And there were present certain at that time, telling him  about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate did mingle with their  sacrifices; 
42N 013:002 and Jesus answering said to them, `Think ye that these  Galileans became sinners beyond all the Galileans, because  they have suffered such things? 
42N 013:003 No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye even  so shall perish. 
42N 013:004 `Or those eighteen, on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and  killed them; think ye that these became debtors beyond all men  who are dwelling in Jerusalem? 
42N 013:005 No -- I say to you, but, if ye may not reform, all ye in  like manner shall perish.' 
42N 013:006 And he spake this simile: `A certain one had a fig-tree  planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit in it, and  he did not find; 
42N 013:007 and he said unto the vine-dresser, Lo, three years I come  seeking fruit in this fig-tree, and do not find, cut it off,  why also the ground doth it render useless? 
42N 013:008 `And he answering saith to him, Sir, suffer it also this  year, till that I may dig about it, and cast in dung; 
42N 013:009 and if indeed it may bear fruit --; and if not so,  thereafter thou shalt cut it off.' 
42N 013:010 And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the  sabbath, 
42N 013:011 and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity  eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to  bend back at all, 
42N 013:012 and Jesus having seen her, did call [her] near, and said  to her, `Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;' 
42N 013:013 and he laid on her [his] hands, and presently she was set  upright, and was glorifying God. 
42N 013:014 And the chief of the synagogue answering -- much  displeased that on the sabbath Jesus healed -- said to the  multitude, `Six days there are in which it behoveth [us] to be  working; in these, then, coming, be healed, and not on the  sabbath-day.' 
42N 013:015 Then the Lord answered him and said, `Hypocrite, doth not  each of you on the sabbath loose his ox or ass from the stall,  and having led away, doth water [it]? 
42N 013:016 and this one, being a daughter of Abraham, whom the  Adversary bound, lo, eighteen years, did it not behove to be  loosed from this bond on the sabbath-day?' 
42N 013:017 And he saying these things, all who were opposed to him  were being ashamed, and all the multitude were rejoicing over  all the glorious things that are being done by him. 
42N 013:018 And he said, `To what is the reign of God like? and to  what shall I liken it? 
42N 013:019 It is like to a grain of mustard, which a man having  taken, did cast into his garden, and it increased, and came to  a great tree, and the fowls of the heavens did rest in its  branches.' 
42N 013:020 And again he said, `To what shall I liken the reign of  God? 
42N 013:021 It is like leaven, which a woman, having taken, did hide  in three measures of meal, till that all was leavened.' 
42N 013:022 And he was going through cities and villages, teaching,  and making progress toward Jerusalem; 
42N 013:023 and a certain one said to him, `Sir, are those saved few?'  and he said unto them, 
42N 013:024 `Be striving to go in through the straight gate, because  many, I say to you, will seek to go in, and shall not be able; 
42N 013:025 from the time the master of the house may have risen up,  and may have shut the door, and ye may begin without to stand,  and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, lord, open to us, and  he answering shall say to you, I have not known you whence ye  are, 
42N 013:026 then ye may begin to say, We did eat before thee, and did  drink, and in our broad places thou didst teach; 
42N 013:027 and he shall say, I say to you, I have not known you  whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of the  unrighteousness. 
42N 013:028 `There shall be there the weeping and the gnashing of the  teeth, when ye may see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all  the prophets, in the reign of God, and yourselves being cast  out without; 
42N 013:029 and they shall come from east and west, and from north and  south, and shall recline in the reign of God, 
42N 013:030 and lo, there are last who shall be first, and there are  first who shall be last.' 
42N 013:031 On that day there came near certain Pharisees, saying to  him, `Go forth, and be going on hence, for Herod doth wish to  kill thee;' 
42N 013:032 and he said to them, `Having gone, say to this fox, Lo, I  cast forth demons, and perfect cures to-day and to-morrow, and  the third [day] I am being perfected; 
42N 013:033 but it behoveth me to-day, and to-morrow, and the [day]  following, to go on, because it is not possible for a prophet  to perish out of Jerusalem. 
42N 013:034 `Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that is killing the prophets, and  stoning those sent unto her, how often did I will to gather  together thy children, as a hen her brood under the wings, and  ye did not will. 
42N 013:035 `Lo, your house is being left to you desolate, and verily  I say to you -- ye may not see me, till it may come, when ye  may say, Blessed [is] he who is coming in the name of the  Lord.' 
42N 014:001 And it came to pass, on his going into the house of a  certain one of the chiefs of the Pharisees, on a sabbath, to  eat bread, that they were watching him, 
42N 014:002 and lo, there was a certain dropsical man before him; 
42N 014:003 and Jesus answering spake to the lawyers and Pharisees,  saying, `Is it lawful on the sabbath-day to heal?' 
42N 014:004 and they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], he  healed him, and let [him] go; 
42N 014:005 and answering them he said, `Of which of you shall an ass  or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up  on the sabbath-day?' 
42N 014:006 and they were not able to answer him again unto these  things. 
42N 014:007 And he spake a simile unto those called, marking how they  were choosing out the first couches, saying unto them, 
42N 014:008 `When thou mayest be called by any one to marriage-feasts,  thou mayest not recline on the first couch, lest a more  honourable than thou may have been called by him, 
42N 014:009 and he who did call thee and him having come shall say to  thee, Give to this one place, and then thou mayest begin with  shame to occupy the last place. 
42N 014:010 `But, when thou mayest be called, having gone on, recline  in the last place, that when he who called thee may come, he  may say to thee, Friend, come up higher; then thou shalt have  glory before those reclining with thee; 
42N 014:011 because every one who is exalting himself shall be  humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.' 
42N 014:012 And he said also to him who did call him, `When thou  mayest make a dinner or a supper, be not calling thy friends,  nor thy brethren, nor thy kindred, nor rich neighbours, lest  they may also call thee again, and a recompense may come to  thee; 
42N 014:013 but when thou mayest make a feast, be calling poor,  maimed, lame, blind, 
42N 014:014 and happy thou shalt be, because they have not to  recompense thee, for it shall be recompensed to thee in the  rising again of the righteous.' 
42N 014:015 And one of those reclining with him, having heard these  things, said to him, `Happy [is] he who shall eat bread in the  reign of God;' 
42N 014:016 and he said to him, `A certain man made a great supper,  and called many, 
42N 014:017 and he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say  to those having been called, Be coming, because now are all  things ready. 
42N 014:018 `And they began with one consent all to excuse themselves:  The first said to him, A field I bought, and I have need to go  forth and see it; I beg of thee, have me excused. 
42N 014:019 `And another said, Five yoke of oxen I bought, and I go on  to prove them; I beg of thee, have me excused: 
42N 014:020 and another said, A wife I married, and because of this I  am not able to come. 
42N 014:021 `And that servant having come, told to his lord these  things, then the master of the house, having been angry, said  to his servant, Go forth quickly to the broad places and lanes  of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind,  bring in hither. 
42N 014:022 `And the servant said, Sir, it hath been done as thou  didst command, and still there is room. 
42N 014:023 `And the lord said unto the servant, Go forth to the ways  and hedges, and constrain to come in, that my house may be  filled; 
42N 014:024 for I say to you, that none of those men who have been  called shall taste of my supper.' 
42N 014:025 And there were going on with him great multitudes, and  having turned, he said unto them, 
42N 014:026 `If any one doth come unto me, and doth not hate his own  father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and  sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be my  disciple; 
42N 014:027 and whoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, is  not able to be my disciple. 
42N 014:028 `For who of you, willing to build a tower, doth not first,  having sat down, count the expense, whether he have the things  for completing? 
42N 014:029 lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able  to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock him, 
42N 014:030 saying -- This man began to build, and was not able to  finish. 
42N 014:031 `Or what king going on to engage with another king in war,  doth not, having sat down, first consult if he be able with  ten thousand to meet him who with twenty thousand is coming  against him? 
42N 014:032 and if not so -- he being yet a long way off -- having  sent an embassy, he doth ask the things for peace. 
42N 014:033 `So, then, every one of you who doth not take leave of all  that he himself hath, is not able to be my disciple. 
42N 014:034 `The salt [is] good, but if the salt doth become  tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? 
42N 014:035 neither for land nor for manure is it fit -- they cast it  without. He who is having ears to hear -- let him hear.' 
42N 015:001 And all the tax-gatherers and the sinners were coming nigh  to him, to hear him, 
42N 015:002 and the Pharisees and the scribes were murmuring, saying --  This one doth receive sinners, and doth eat with them.' 
42N 015:003 And he spake unto them this simile, saying, 
42N 015:004 `What man of you having a hundred sheep, and having lost  one out of them, doth not leave behind the ninety-nine in the  wilderness, and go on after the lost one, till he may find it? 
42N 015:005 and having found, he doth lay [it] on his shoulders  rejoicing, 
42N 015:006 and having come to the house, he doth call together the  friends and the neighbours, saying to them, Rejoice with me,  because I found my sheep -- the lost one. 
42N 015:007 `I say to you, that so joy shall be in the heaven over one  sinner reforming, rather than over ninety-nine righteous men,  who have no need of reformation. 
42N 015:008 `Or what woman having ten drachms, if she may lose one  drachm, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and seek  carefully till that she may find? 
42N 015:009 and having found, she doth call together the female friends  and the neighbours, saying, Rejoice with me, for I found the  drachm that I lost. 
42N 015:010 `So I say to you, joy doth come before the messengers of  God over one sinner reforming.' 
42N 015:011 And he said, `A certain man had two sons, 
42N 015:012 and the younger of them said to the father, Father, give  me the portion of the substance falling to [me], and he  divided to them the living. 
42N 015:013 `And not many days after, having gathered all together,  the younger son went abroad to a far country, and there he  scattered his substance, living riotously; 
42N 015:014 and he having spent all, there came a mighty famine on  that country, and himself began to be in want; 
42N 015:015 and having gone on, he joined himself to one of the  citizens of that country, and he sent him to the fields to feed  swine, 
42N 015:016 and he was desirous to fill his belly from the husks that  the swine were eating, and no one was giving to him. 
42N 015:017 `And having come to himself, he said, How many hirelings  of my father have a superabundance of bread, and I here with  hunger am perishing! 
42N 015:018 having risen, I will go on unto my father, and will say to  him, Father, I did sin -- to the heaven, and before thee, 
42N 015:019 and no more am I worthy to be called thy son; make me as  one of thy hirelings. 
42N 015:020 `And having risen, he went unto his own father, and he  being yet far distant, his father saw him, and was moved with  compassion, and having ran he fell upon his neck and kissed  him; 
42N 015:021 and the son said to him, Father, I did sin -- to the  heaven, and before thee, and no more am I worthy to be called  thy son. 
42N 015:022 `And the father said unto his servants, Bring forth the  first robe, and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand, and  sandals for the feet; 
42N 015:023 and having brought the fatted calf, kill [it], and having  eaten, we may be merry, 
42N 015:024 because this my son was dead, and did live again, and he  was lost, and was found; and they began to be merry. 
42N 015:025 `And his elder son was in a field, and as, coming, he drew  nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing, 
42N 015:026 and having called near one of the young men, he was  inquiring what these things might be, 
42N 015:027 and he said to him -- Thy brother is arrived, and thy  father did kill the fatted calf, because in health he did  receive him back. 
42N 015:028 `And he was angry, and would not go in, therefore his  father, having come forth, was entreating him; 
42N 015:029 and he answering said to the father, Lo, so many years I  do serve thee, and never thy command did I transgress, and to  me thou didst never give a kid, that with my friends I might  make merry; 
42N 015:030 but when thy son -- this one who did devour thy living  with harlots -- came, thou didst kill to him the fatted calf. 
42N 015:031 `And he said to him, Child, thou art always with me, and  all my things are thine; 
42N 015:032 but to be merry, and to be glad, it was needful, because  this thy brother was dead, and did live again, he was lost,  and was found.' 
42N 016:001 And he said also unto his disciples, `A certain man was  rich, who had a steward, and he was accused to him as  scattering his goods; 
42N 016:002 and having called him, he said to him, What [is] this I  hear about thee? render the account of thy stewardship, for  thou mayest not any longer be steward. 
42N 016:003 `And the steward said in himself, What shall I do, because  my lord doth take away the stewardship from me? to dig I am  not able, to beg I am ashamed: -- 
42N 016:004 I have known what I shall do, that, when I may be removed  from the stewardship, they may receive me to their houses. 
42N 016:005 `And having called near each one of his lord's debtors, he  said to the first, How much dost thou owe to my lord? 
42N 016:006 and he said, A hundred baths of oil; and he said to him,  Take thy bill, and having sat down write fifty. 
42N 016:007 `Afterward to another he said, And thou, how much dost thou  owe? and he said, A hundred cors of wheat; and he saith to  him, Take thy bill, and write eighty. 
42N 016:008 `And the lord commended the unrighteous steward that he did  prudently, because the sons of this age are more prudent than  the sons of the light, in respect to their generation. 
42N 016:009 and I say to you, Make to yourselves friends out of the  mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye may fail, they may  receive you to the age-during tabernacles. 
42N 016:010 `He who is faithful in the least, [is] also faithful in  much; and he who in the least [is] unrighteous, is also  unrighteous in much; 
42N 016:011 if, then, in the unrighteous mammon ye became not faithful  -- the true who will entrust to you? 
42N 016:012 and if in the other's ye became not faithful -- your own,  who shall give to you? 
42N 016:013 `No domestic is able to serve two lords, for either the  one he will hate, and the other he will love; or one he will  hold to, and of the other he will be heedless; ye are not able  to serve God and mammon.' 
42N 016:014 And also the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were  hearing all these things, and were deriding him, 
42N 016:015 and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves  righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because  that which among men is high, [is] abomination before God; 
42N 016:016 the law and the prophets [are] till John; since then the  reign of God is proclaimed good news, and every one doth press  into it; 
42N 016:017 and it is easier to the heaven and the earth to pass away,  than of the law one tittle to fall. 
42N 016:018 `Every one who is sending away his wife, and marrying  another, doth commit adultery; and every one who is marrying  her sent away from a husband doth commit adultery. 
42N 016:019 `And -- a certain man was rich, and was clothed in purple  and fine linen, making merry sumptuously every day, 
42N 016:020 and there was a certain poor man, by name Lazarus, who was  laid at his porch, full of sores, 
42N 016:021 and desiring to be filled from the crumbs that are falling  from the table of the rich man; yea, also the dogs, coming,  were licking his sores. 
42N 016:022 `And it came to pass, that the poor man died, and that he  was carried away by the messengers to the bosom of Abraham --  and the rich man also died, and was buried; 
42N 016:023 and in the hades having lifted up his eyes, being in  torments, he doth see Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his  bosom, 
42N 016:024 and having cried, he said, Father Abraham, deal kindly  with me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his  finger in water, and may cool my tongue, because I am  distressed in this flame. 
42N 016:025 `And Abraham said, Child, remember that thou did receive  -- thou -- thy good things in thy life, and Lazarus in like  manner the evil things, and now he is comforted, and thou art  distressed; 
42N 016:026 and besides all these things, between us and you a great  chasm is fixed, so that they who are willing to go over from  hence unto you are not able, nor do they from thence to us pass  through. 
42N 016:027 `And he said, I pray thee, then, father, that thou mayest  send him to the house of my father, 
42N 016:028 for I have five brothers, so that he may thoroughly  testify to them, that they also may not come to this place of  torment. 
42N 016:029 `Abraham saith to him, They have Moses and the prophets,  let them hear them; 
42N 016:030 and he said, No, father Abraham, but if any one from the  dead may go unto them, they will reform. 
42N 016:031 And he said to him, If Moses and the prophets they do not  hear, neither if one may rise out of the dead will they be  persuaded.' 
42N 017:001 And he said unto the disciples, `It is impossible for the  stumbling blocks not to come, but wo [to him] through whom they  come; 
42N 017:002 it is more profitable to him if a weighty millstone is put  round about his neck, and he hath been cast into the sea, than  that he may cause one of these little ones to stumble. 
42N 017:003 `Take heed to yourselves, and, if thy brother may sin in  regard to thee, rebuke him, and if he may reform, forgive him, 
42N 017:004 and if seven times in the day he may sin against thee, and  seven times in the day may turn back to thee, saying, I  reform; thou shalt forgive him.' 
42N 017:005 And the apostles said to the Lord, `Add to us faith;' 
42N 017:006 and the Lord said, `If ye had faith as a grain of mustard,  ye would have said to this sycamine, Be uprooted, and be  planted in the sea, and it would have obeyed you. 
42N 017:007 `But, who is he of you -- having a servant ploughing or  feeding -- who, to him having come in out of the field, will  say, Having come near, recline at meat? 
42N 017:008 but will not [rather] say to him, Prepare what I may sup,  and having girded thyself about, minister to me, till I eat and  drink, and after these things thou shalt eat and drink? 
42N 017:009 Hath he favour to that servant because he did the things  directed? I think not. 
42N 017:010 `So also ye, when ye may have done all the things directed  you, say -- We are unprofitable servants, because that which we  owed to do -- we have done.' 
42N 017:011 And it came to pass, in his going on to Jerusalem, that he  passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee, 
42N 017:012 and he entering into a certain village, there met him ten  leprous men, who stood afar off, 
42N 017:013 and they lifted up the voice, saying, `Jesus, master, deal  kindly with us;' 
42N 017:014 and having seen [them], he said to them, `Having gone on,  shew yourselves to the priests;' and it came to pass, in their  going, they were cleansed, 
42N 017:015 and one of them having seen that he was healed did turn  back, with a loud voice glorifying God, 
42N 017:016 and he fell upon [his] face at his feet, giving thanks to  him, and he was a Samaritan. 
42N 017:017 And Jesus answering said, `Were not the ten cleansed, and  the nine -- where? 
42N 017:018 There were not found who did turn back to give glory to  God, except this alien;' 
42N 017:019 and he said to him, `Having risen, be going on, thy faith  hath saved thee.' 
42N 017:020 And having been questioned by the Pharisees, when the  reign of God doth come, he answered them, and said, `The reign  of God doth not come with observation; 
42N 017:021 nor shall they say, Lo, here; or lo, there; for lo, the  reign of God is within you.' 
42N 017:022 And he said unto his disciples, `Days will come, when ye  shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and ye  shall not behold [it]; 
42N 017:023 and they shall say to you, Lo, here; or lo, there; ye may  not go away, nor follow; 
42N 017:024 for as the lightning that is lightening out of the one  [part] under heaven, to the other part under heaven doth shine,  so shall be also the Son of Man in his day; 
42N 017:025 and first it behoveth him to suffer many things, and to be  rejected by this generation. 
42N 017:026 `And, as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so shall it  be also in the days of the Son of Man; 
42N 017:027 they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying,  they were given in marriage, till the day that Noah entered  into the ark, and the deluge came, and destroyed all; 
42N 017:028 in like manner also, as it came to pass in the days of  Lot; they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying,  they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 
42N 017:029 and on the day Lot went forth from Sodom, He rained fire  and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed all. 
42N 017:030 `According to these things it shall be, in the day the Son  of Man is revealed; 
42N 017:031 in that day, he who shall be on the house top, and his  vessels in the house, let him not come down to take them away;  and he in the field, in like manner, let him not turn backward; 
42N 017:032 remember the wife of Lot. 
42N 017:033 Whoever may seek to save his life, shall lose it; and  whoever may lose it, shall preserve it. 
42N 017:034 `I say to you, In that night, there shall be two men on  one couch, the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; 
42N 017:035 two women shall be grinding at the same place together,  the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left; 
42N 017:036 two men shall be in the field, the one shall be taken, and  the other left.' 
42N 017:037 And they answering say to him, `Where, sir?' and he said  to them, `Where the body [is], there will the eagles be  gathered together.' 
42N 018:001 And he spake also a simile to them, that it behoveth [us]  always to pray, and not to faint, 
42N 018:002 saying, `A certain judge was in a certain city -- God he is  not fearing, and man he is not regarding -- 
42N 018:003 and a widow was in that city, and she was coming unto him,  saying, Do me justice on my opponent, 
42N 018:004 and he would not for a time, but after these things he said  in himself, Even if God I do not fear, and man do not regard, 
42N 018:005 yet because this widow doth give me trouble, I will do her  justice, lest, perpetually coming, she may plague me.' 
42N 018:006 And the Lord said, `Hear ye what the unrighteous judge  saith: 
42N 018:007 and shall not God execute the justice to His choice ones,  who are crying unto Him day and night -- bearing long in  regard to them? 
42N 018:008 I say to you, that He will execute the justice to them  quickly; but the Son of Man having come, shall he find the  faith upon the earth?' 
42N 018:009 And he spake also unto certain who have been trusting in  themselves that they were righteous, and have been despising  the rest, this simile: 
42N 018:010 `Two men went up to the temple to pray, the one a  Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer; 
42N 018:011 the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I  thank Thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious,  unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer; 
42N 018:012 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all things --  as many as I possess. 
42N 018:013 `And the tax-gatherer, having stood afar off, would not  even the eyes lift up to the heaven, but was smiting on his  breast, saying, God be propitious to me -- the sinner! 
42N 018:014 I say to you, this one went down declared righteous, to  his house, rather than that one: for every one who is exalting  himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall  be exalted.' 
42N 018:015 And they were bringing near also the babes, that he may  touch them, and the disciples having seen did rebuke them, 
42N 018:016 and Jesus having called them near, said, `Suffer the  little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of  such is the reign of God; 
42N 018:017 verily I say to you, Whoever may not receive the reign of  God as a little child, may not enter into it.' 
42N 018:018 And a certain ruler questioned him, saying, `Good teacher,  what having done -- shall I inherit life age-during?' 
42N 018:019 And Jesus said to him, `Why me dost thou call good? no one  [is] good, except One -- God; 
42N 018:020 the commands thou hast known: Thou mayest not commit  adultery, Thou mayest do no murder, Thou mayest not steal, Thou  mayest not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy  mother.' 
42N 018:021 And he said, `All these I did keep from my youth;' 
42N 018:022 and having heard these things, Jesus said to him, `Yet one  thing to thee is lacking; all things -- as many as thou hast --  sell, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure  in heaven, and come, be following me;' 
42N 018:023 and he, having heard these things, became very sorrowful,  for he was exceeding rich. 
42N 018:024 And Jesus having seen him become very sorrowful, said,  `How hardly shall those having riches enter into the reign of  God! 
42N 018:025 for it is easier for a camel through the eye of a needle  to enter, than for a rich man into the reign of God to enter.' 
42N 018:026 And those who heard, said, `And who is able to be saved?' 
42N 018:027 and he said, `The things impossible with men are possible  with God.' 
42N 018:028 And Peter said, `Lo, we left all, and did follow thee;' 
42N 018:029 and he said to them, `Verily I say to you, that there is  not one who left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or  children, for the sake of the reign of God, 
42N 018:030 who may not receive back manifold more in this time, and  in the coming age, life age-during.' 
42N 018:031 And having taken the twelve aside, he said unto them, `Lo,  we go up to Jerusalem, and all things shall be completed --  that have been written through the prophets -- to the Son of  Man, 
42N 018:032 for he shall be delivered up to the nations, and shall be  mocked, and insulted, and spit upon, 
42N 018:033 and having scourged they shall put him to death, and on  the third day he shall rise again.' 
42N 018:034 And they none of these things understood, and this saying  was hid from them, and they were not knowing the things said. 
42N 018:035 And it came to pass, in his coming nigh to Jericho, a  certain blind man was sitting beside the way begging, 
42N 018:036 and having heard a multitude going by, he was inquiring  what this may be, 
42N 018:037 and they brought him word that Jesus the Nazarene doth  pass by, 
42N 018:038 and he cried out, saying, `Jesus, Son of David, deal  kindly with me;' 
42N 018:039 and those going before were rebuking him, that he might be  silent, but he was much more crying out, `Son of David, deal  kindly with me.' 
42N 018:040 And Jesus having stood, commanded him to be brought unto  him, and he having come nigh, he questioned him, 
42N 018:041 saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said,  `Sir, that I may receive sight.' 
42N 018:042 And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath  saved thee;' 
42N 018:043 and presently he did receive sight, and was following him,  glorifying God; and all the people, having seen, did give  praise to God. 
42N 019:001 And having entered, he was passing through Jericho, 
42N 019:002 and lo, a man, by name called Zaccheus, and he was a chief  tax-gatherer, and he was rich, 
42N 019:003 and he was seeking to see Jesus, who he is, and was not  able for the multitude, because in stature he was small, 
42N 019:004 and having run forward before, he went up on a sycamore,  that he may see him, because through that [way] he was about to  pass by. 
42N 019:005 And as Jesus came up to the place, having looked up, he saw  him, and said unto him, `Zaccheus, having hastened, come down,  for to-day in thy house it behoveth me to remain;' 
42N 019:006 and he having hastened did come down, and did receive him  rejoicing; 
42N 019:007 and having seen [it], they were all murmuring, saying --  `With a sinful man he went in to lodge!' 
42N 019:008 And Zaccheus having stood, said unto the Lord, `Lo, the  half of my goods, sir, I give to the poor, and if of any one  anything I did take by false accusation, I give back  fourfold.' 
42N 019:009 And Jesus said unto him -- `To-day salvation did come to  this house, inasmuch as he also is a son of Abraham; 
42N 019:010 for the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.' 
42N 019:011 And while they are hearing these things, having added he  spake a simile, because of his being nigh to Jerusalem, and of  their thinking that the reign of God is about presently to be  made manifest. 
42N 019:012 He said therefore, `A certain man of birth went on to a  far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return, 
42N 019:013 and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them  ten pounds, and said unto them, Do business -- till I come; 
42N 019:014 and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy  after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us. 
42N 019:015 `And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the  kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him,  to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had  done in business. 
42N 019:016 `And the first came near, saying, Sir, thy pound did gain  ten pounds; 
42N 019:017 and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a  very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority  over ten cities. 
42N 019:018 `And the second came, saying, Sir, thy pound made five  pounds; 
42N 019:019 and he said also to this one, And thou, become thou over  five cities. 
42N 019:020 `And another came, saying, Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had  lying away in a napkin; 
42N 019:021 for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man;  thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what  thou didst not sow. 
42N 019:022 `And he saith to him, Out of thy mouth I will judge thee,  evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up  what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow! 
42N 019:023 and wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank,  and I, having come, with interest might have received it? 
42N 019:024 `And to those standing by he said, Take from him the  pound, and give to him having the ten pounds -- 
42N 019:025 (and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) -- 
42N 019:026 for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given,  and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from  him, 
42N 019:027 but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over  them, bring hither and slay before me.' 
42N 019:028 And having said these things, he went on before, going up  to Jerusalem. 
42N 019:029 And it came to pass, as he came nigh to Bethphage and  Bethany, unto the mount called of the Olives, he sent two of  his disciples, 
42N 019:030 having said, Go away to the village over-against, in  which, entering into, ye shall find a colt bound, on which no  one of men did ever sit, having loosed it, bring [it]; 
42N 019:031 and if any one doth question you, Wherefore do ye loose  [it]? thus ye shall say to him -- The Lord hath need of it.' 
42N 019:032 And those sent, having gone away, found according as he  said to them, 
42N 019:033 and while they are loosing the colt, its owners said unto  them, `Why loose ye the colt?' 
42N 019:034 and they said, `The Lord hath need of it;' 
42N 019:035 and they brought it unto Jesus, and having cast their  garments upon the colt, they did set Jesus upon it. 
42N 019:036 And as he is going, they were spreading their garments in  the way, 
42N 019:037 and as he is coming nigh now, at the descent of the mount  of the Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began  rejoicing to praise God with a great voice for all the mighty  works they had seen, 
42N 019:038 saying, `blessed [is] he who is coming, a king in the name  of the Lord; peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.' 
42N 019:039 And certain of the Pharisees from the multitude said unto  him, `Teacher, rebuke thy disciples;' 
42N 019:040 and he answering said to them, `I say to you, that, if  these shall be silent, the stones will cry out!' 
42N 019:041 And when he came nigh, having seen the city, he wept over  it, 
42N 019:042 saying -- `If thou didst know, even thou, at least in this  thy day, the things for thy peace; but now they were hid from  thine eyes. 
42N 019:043 `Because days shall come upon thee, and thine enemies  shall cast around thee a rampart, and compass thee round, and  press thee on every side, 
42N 019:044 and lay thee low, and thy children within thee, and they  shall not leave in thee a stone upon a stone, because thou  didst not know the time of thy inspection.' 
42N 019:045 And having entered into the temple, he began to cast forth  those selling in it, and those buying, 
42N 019:046 saying to them, `It hath been written, My house is a house  of prayer -- but ye made it a den of robbers.' 
42N 019:047 And he was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief  priests and the scribes were seeking to destroy him -- also  the chiefs of the people -- 
42N 019:048 and they were not finding what they shall do, for all the  people were hanging on him, hearing him. 
42N 020:001 And it came to pass, on one of those days, as he is  teaching the people in the temple, and proclaiming good news,  the chief priests and the scribes, with the elders, came upon  [him], 
42N 020:002 and spake unto him, saying, `Tell us by what authority thou  dost these things? or who is he that gave to thee this  authority?' 
42N 020:003 And he answering said unto them, `I will question you -- I  also -- one thing, and tell me: 
42N 020:004 the baptism of John, from heaven was it, or from men?' 
42N 020:005 And they reasoned with themselves, saying -- `If we may  say, From heaven, he will say, Wherefore, then, did ye not  believe him? 
42N 020:006 and if we may say, From men, all the people will stone us,  for they are having been persuaded John to be a prophet.' 
42N 020:007 And they answered, that they knew not whence [it was], 
42N 020:008 and Jesus said to them, `Neither do I say to you by what  authority I do these things.' 
42N 020:009 And he began to speak unto the people this simile: `A  certain man planted a vineyard, and gave it out to husbandmen,  and went abroad for a long time, 
42N 020:010 and at the season he sent unto the husbandmen a servant,  that from the fruit of the vineyard they may give to him, but  the husbandmen having beat him, did send [him] away empty. 
42N 020:011 `And he added to send another servant, and they that one  also having beaten and dishonoured, did send away empty; 
42N 020:012 and he added to send a third, and this one also, having  wounded, they did cast out. 
42N 020:013 `And the owner of the vineyard said, What shall I do? I  will send my son -- the beloved, perhaps having seen this one,  they will do reverence; 
42N 020:014 and having seen him, the husbandmen reasoned among  themselves, saying, This is the heir; come, we may kill him,  that the inheritance may become ours; 
42N 020:015 and having cast him outside of the vineyard, they killed  [him]; what, then, shall the owner of the vineyard do to them? 
42N 020:016 He will come, and destroy these husbandmen, and will give  the vineyard to others.' And having heard, they said, `Let it  not be!' 
42N 020:017 and he, having looked upon them, said, `What, then, is  this that hath been written: A stone that the builders rejected  -- this became head of a corner? 
42N 020:018 every one who hath fallen on that stone shall be broken,  and on whom it may fall, it will crush him to pieces.' 
42N 020:019 And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands  on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew  that against them he spake this simile. 
42N 020:020 And, having watched [him], they sent forth liers in wait,  feigning themselves to be righteous, that they might take hold  of his word, to deliver him up to the rule and to the authority  of the governor, 
42N 020:021 and they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, we have known  that thou dost say and teach rightly, and dost not accept a  person, but in truth the way of God dost teach; 
42N 020:022 Is it lawful to us to give tribute to Caesar or not?' 
42N 020:023 And he, having perceived their craftiness, said unto them,  `Why me do ye tempt? 
42N 020:024 shew me a denary; of whom hath it an image and  superscription?' and they answering said, `Of Caesar:' 
42N 020:025 and he said to them, `Give back, therefore, the things of  Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God;' 
42N 020:026 and they were not able to take hold on his saying before  the people, and having wondered at his answer, they were  silent. 
42N 020:027 And certain of the Sadducees, who are denying that there  is a rising again, having come near, questioned him, 
42N 020:028 saying, `Teacher, Moses wrote to us, If any one's brother  may die, having a wife, and he may die childless -- that his  brother may take the wife, and may raise up seed to his  brother. 
42N 020:029 `There were, then, seven brothers, and the first having  taken a wife, died childless, 
42N 020:030 and the second took the wife, and he died childless, 
42N 020:031 and the third took her, and in like manner also the seven  -- they left not children, and they died; 
42N 020:032 and last of all died also the woman: 
42N 020:033 in the rising again, then, of which of them doth she  become wife? -- for the seven had her as wife.' 
42N 020:034 And Jesus answering said to them, `The sons of this age do  marry and are given in marriage, 
42N 020:035 but those accounted worthy to obtain that age, and the  rising again that is out of the dead, neither marry, nor are  they given in marriage; 
42N 020:036 for neither are they able to die any more -- for they are  like messengers -- and they are sons of God, being sons of the  rising again. 
42N 020:037 `And that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the  Bush, since he doth call the Lord, the God of Abraham, and the  God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob; 
42N 020:038 and He is not a God of dead men, but of living, for all  live to Him.' 
42N 020:039 And certain of the scribes answering said, `Teacher, thou  didst say well;' 
42N 020:040 and no more durst they question him anything. 
42N 020:041 And he said unto them, `How do they say the Christ to be  son of David, 
42N 020:042 and David himself saith in the Book of Psalms, The Lord  said to my lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 
42N 020:043 till I shall make thine enemies thy footstool; 
42N 020:044 David, then, doth call him lord, and how is he his son?' 
42N 020:045 And, all the people hearing, he said to his disciples, 
42N 020:046 `Take heed of the scribes, who are wishing to walk in long  robes, and are loving salutations in the markets, and first  seats in the synagogues, and first couches in the suppers, 
42N 020:047 who devour the houses of the widows, and for a pretence  make long prayers, these shall receive more abundant  judgment.' 
42N 021:001 And having looked up, he saw those who did cast their gifts  to the treasury -- rich men, 
42N 021:002 and he saw also a certain poor widow casting there two  mites, 
42N 021:003 and he said, `Truly I say to you, that this poor widow did  cast in more than all; 
42N 021:004 for all these out of their superabundance did cast into the  gifts to God, but this one out of her want, all the living  that she had, did cast in.' 
42N 021:005 And certain saying about the temple, that with goodly  stones and devoted things it hath been adorned, he said, 
42N 021:006 `These things that ye behold -- days will come, in which  there shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not be  thrown down.' 
42N 021:007 And they questioned him, saying, `Teacher, when, then,  shall these things be? and what [is] the sign when these  things may be about to happen?' 
42N 021:008 And he said, `See -- ye may not be led astray, for many  shall come in my name, saying -- I am [he], and the time hath  come nigh; go not on then after them; 
42N 021:009 and when ye may hear of wars and uprisings, be not  terrified, for it behoveth these things to happen first, but  the end [is] not immediately.' 
42N 021:010 Then said he to them, `Nation shall rise against nation,  and kingdom against kingdom, 
42N 021:011 great shakings also in every place, and famines, and  pestilences, there shall be; fearful things also, and great  signs from heaven there shall be; 
42N 021:012 and before all these, they shall lay on you their hands,  and persecute, delivering up to synagogues and prisons, being  brought before kings and governors for my name's sake; 
42N 021:013 and it shall become to you for a testimony. 
42N 021:014 `Settle, then, to your hearts, not to meditate beforehand  to reply, 
42N 021:015 for I will give to you a mouth and wisdom that all your  opposers shall not be able to refute or resist. 
42N 021:016 `And ye shall be delivered up also by parents, and  brothers, and kindred, and friends, and they shall put of you  to death; 
42N 021:017 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name -- 
42N 021:018 and a hair out of your head shall not perish; 
42N 021:019 in your patience possess ye your souls. 
42N 021:020 `And when ye may see Jerusalem surrounded by encampments,  then know that come nigh did her desolation; 
42N 021:021 then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and  those in her midst, let them depart out; and those in the  countries, let them not come in to her; 
42N 021:022 because these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all things  that have been written. 
42N 021:023 `And wo to those with child, and to those giving suck, in  those days; for there shall be great distress on the land, and  wrath on this people; 
42N 021:024 and they shall fall by the mouth of the sword, and shall  be led captive to all the nations, and Jerusalem shall be  trodden down by nations, till the times of nations be  fulfilled. 
42N 021:025 `And there shall be signs in sun, and moon, and stars, and  on the land [is] distress of nations with perplexity, sea and  billow roaring; 
42N 021:026 men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the  things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens  shall be shaken. 
42N 021:027 `And then they shall see the Son of Man, coming in a  cloud, with power and much glory; 
42N 021:028 and these things beginning to happen bend yourselves back,  and lift up your heads, because your redemption doth draw  nigh.' 
42N 021:029 And he spake a simile to them: `See the fig-tree, and all  the trees, 
42N 021:030 when they may now cast forth, having seen, of yourselves  ye know that now is the summer nigh; 
42N 021:031 so also ye, when ye may see these things happening, ye  know that near is the reign of God; 
42N 021:032 verily I say to you -- This generation may not pass away  till all may have come to pass; 
42N 021:033 the heaven and the earth shall pass away, but my words may  not pass away. 
42N 021:034 `And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts may be  weighed down with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and anxieties of  life, and suddenly that day may come on you, 
42N 021:035 for as a snare it shall come on all those dwelling on the  face of all the land, 
42N 021:036 watch ye, then, in every season, praying that ye may be  accounted worthy to escape all these things that are about to  come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.' 
42N 021:037 And he was during the days in the temple teaching, and  during the nights, going forth, he was lodging at the mount  called of Olives; 
42N 021:038 and all the people were coming early unto him in the  temple to hear him. 
42N 022:001 And the feast of the unleavened food was coming nigh, that  is called Passover, 
42N 022:002 and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they  may take him up, for they were afraid of the people. 
42N 022:003 And the Adversary entered into Judas, who is surnamed  Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve, 
42N 022:004 and he, having gone away, spake with the chief priests and  the magistrates, how he might deliver him up to them, 
42N 022:005 and they rejoiced, and covenanted to give him money, 
42N 022:006 and he agreed, and was seeking a favourable season to  deliver him up to them without tumult. 
42N 022:007 And the day of the unleavened food came, in which it was  behoving the passover to be sacrificed, 
42N 022:008 and he sent Peter and John, saying, `Having gone on,  prepare to us the passover, that we may eat;' 
42N 022:009 and they said to him, `Where wilt thou that we might  prepare?' 
42N 022:010 And he said to them, `Lo, in your entering into the city,  there shall meet you a man, bearing a pitcher of water, follow  him to the house where he doth go in, 
42N 022:011 and ye shall say to the master of the house, The Teacher  saith to thee, Where is the guest-chamber where the passover  with my disciples I may eat? 
42N 022:012 and he shall show you a large upper room furnished, there  make ready;' 
42N 022:013 and they, having gone away, found as he hath said to them,  and they made ready the passover. 
42N 022:014 And when the hour come, he reclined (at meat), and the  twelve apostles with him, 
42N 022:015 and he said unto them, `With desire I did desire to eat  this passover with you before my suffering, 
42N 022:016 for I say to you, that no more may I eat of it till it may  be fulfilled in the reign of God.' 
42N 022:017 And having taken a cup, having given thanks, he said,  `Take this and divide to yourselves, 
42N 022:018 for I say to you that I may not drink of the produce of  the vine till the reign of God may come.' 
42N 022:019 And having taken bread, having given thanks, he brake and  gave to them, saying, `This is my body, that for you is being  given, this do ye -- to remembrance of me.' 
42N 022:020 In like manner, also, the cup after the supping, saying,  `This cup [is] the new covenant in my blood, that for you is  being poured forth. 
42N 022:021 `But, lo, the hand of him delivering me up [is] with me on  the table, 
42N 022:022 and indeed the Son of Man doth go according to what hath  been determined; but wo to that man through whom he is being  delivered up.' 
42N 022:023 And they began to reason among themselves, who then of  them it may be, who is about to do this thing. 
42N 022:024 And there happened also a strife among them -- who of them  is accounted to be greater. 
42N 022:025 And he said to them, `The kings of the nations do exercise  lordship over them, and those exercising authority upon them  are called benefactors; 
42N 022:026 but ye [are] not so, but he who is greater among you --  let him be as the younger; and he who is leading, as he who is  ministering; 
42N 022:027 for who is greater? he who is reclining (at meat), or he  who is ministering? is it not he who is reclining (at meat)?  and I -- I am in your midst as he who is ministering. 
42N 022:028 `And ye -- ye are those who have remained with me in my  temptations, 
42N 022:029 and I appoint to you, as my Father did appoint to me, a  kingdom, 
42N 022:030 that ye may eat and may drink at my table, in my kingdom,  and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.' 
42N 022:031 And the Lord said, `Simon, Simon, lo, the Adversary did  ask you for himself to sift as the wheat, 
42N 022:032 and I besought for thee, that thy faith may not fail; and  thou, when thou didst turn, strengthen thy brethren.' 
42N 022:033 And he said to him, `Sir, with thee I am ready both to  prison and to death to go;' 
42N 022:034 and he said, `I say to thee, Peter, a cock shall not crow  to-day, before thrice thou mayest disown knowing me.' 
42N 022:035 And he said to them, `When I sent you without bag, and  scrip, and sandals, did ye lack anything?' and they said,  `Nothing.' 
42N 022:036 Then said he to them, `But, now, he who is having a bag,  let him take [it] up, and in like manner also a scrip; and he  who is not having, let him sell his garment, and buy a sword, 
42N 022:037 for I say to you, that yet this that hath been written it  behoveth to be fulfilled in me: And with lawless ones he was  reckoned, for also the things concerning me have an end.' 
42N 022:038 And they said, `Sir, lo, here [are] two swords;' and he  said to them, `It is sufficient.' 
42N 022:039 And having gone forth, he went on, according to custom, to  the mount of the Olives, and his disciples also followed him, 
42N 022:040 and having come to the place, he said to them, `Pray ye  not to enter into temptation.' 
42N 022:041 And he was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast,  and having fallen on the knees he was praying, 
42N 022:042 saying, `Father, if Thou be counselling to make this cup  pass from me --; but, not my will, but Thine be done.' -- 
42N 022:043 And there appeared to him a messenger from heaven  strengthening him; 
42N 022:044 and having been in agony, he was more earnestly praying,  and his sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling  upon the ground. 
42N 022:045 And having risen up from the prayer, having come unto the  disciples, he found them sleeping from the sorrow, 
42N 022:046 and he said to them, `Why do ye sleep? having risen, pray  that ye may not enter into temptation.' 
42N 022:047 And while he is speaking, lo, a multitude, and he who is  called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them, and he  came nigh to Jesus to kiss him, 
42N 022:048 and Jesus said to him, `Judas, with a kiss the Son of Man  dost thou deliver up?' 
42N 022:049 And those about him, having seen what was about to be,  said to him, `Sir, shall we smite with a sword?' 
42N 022:050 And a certain one of them smote the servant of the chief  priest, and took off his right ear, 
42N 022:051 and Jesus answering said, `Suffer ye thus far,' and having  touched his ear, he healed him. 
42N 022:052 And Jesus said to those having come upon him -- chief  priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders -- `As upon  a robber have ye come forth, with swords and sticks? 
42N 022:053 while daily I was with you in the temple, ye did stretch  forth no hands against me; but this is your hour and the power  of the darkness.' 
42N 022:054 And having taken him, they led and brought him to the  house of the chief priest. And Peter was following afar off, 
42N 022:055 and they having kindled a fire in the midst of the court,  and having sat down together, Peter was sitting in the midst  of them, 
42N 022:056 and a certain maid having seen him sitting at the light,  and having earnestly looked at him, she said, `And this one  was with him!' 
42N 022:057 and he disowned him, saying, `Woman, I have not known  him.' 
42N 022:058 And after a little, another having seen him, said, `And  thou art of them!' and Peter said, `Man, I am not.' 
42N 022:059 And one hour, as it were, having intervened, a certain  other was confidently affirming, saying, `Of a truth this one  also was with him, for he is also a Galilean;' 
42N 022:060 and Peter said, `Man, I have not known what thou sayest;'  and presently, while he is speaking, a cock crew. 
42N 022:061 And the Lord having turned did look on Peter, and Peter  remembered the word of the Lord, how he said to him -- `Before  a cock shall crow, thou mayest disown me thrice;' 
42N 022:062 and Peter having gone without, wept bitterly. 
42N 022:063 And the men who were holding Jesus were mocking him,  beating [him]; 
42N 022:064 and having blindfolded him, they were striking him on the  face, and were questioning him, saying, `Prophesy who he is  who smote thee?' 
42N 022:065 and many other things, speaking evilly, they spake in  regard to him. 
42N 022:066 And when it became day there was gathered together the  eldership of the people, chief priests also, and scribes, and  they led him up to their own sanhedrim, 
42N 022:067 saying, `If thou be the Christ, tell us.' And he said to  them, `If I may tell you, ye will not believe; 
42N 022:068 and if I also question [you], ye will not answer me or  send me away; 
42N 022:069 henceforth, there shall be the Son of Man sitting on the  right hand of the power of God.' 
42N 022:070 And they all said, `Thou, then, art the Son of God?' and  he said unto them, `Ye say [it], because I am;' 
42N 022:071 and they said, `What need yet have we of testimony? for we  ourselves did hear [it] from his mouth.' 
42N 023:001 And having risen, the whole multitude of them did lead him  to Pilate, 
42N 023:002 and began to accuse him, saying, `This one we found  perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to  Caesar, saying himself to be Christ a king.' 
42N 023:003 And Pilate questioned him, saying, `Thou art the king of  the Jews?' and he answering him, said, `Thou dost say [it].' 
42N 023:004 And Pilate said unto the chief priests, and the multitude,  `I find no fault in this man;' 
42N 023:005 and they were the more urgent, saying -- `He doth stir up  the people, teaching throughout the whole of Judea -- having  begun from Galilee -- unto this place.' 
42N 023:006 And Pilate having heard of Galilee, questioned if the man  is a Galilean, 
42N 023:007 and having known that he is from the jurisdiction of Herod,  he sent him back unto Herod, he being also in Jerusalem in  those days. 
42N 023:008 And Herod having seen Jesus did rejoice exceedingly, for he  was wishing for a long [time] to see him, because of hearing  many things about him, and he was hoping some sign to see done  by him, 
42N 023:009 and was questioning him in many words, and he answered him  nothing. 
42N 023:010 And the chief priests and the scribes stood vehemently  accusing him, 
42N 023:011 and Herod with his soldiers having set him at nought, and  having mocked, having put around him gorgeous apparel, did  send him back to Pilate, 
42N 023:012 and both Pilate and Herod became friends on that day with  one another, for they were before at enmity between  themselves. 
42N 023:013 And Pilate having called together the chief priests, and  the rulers, and the people, 
42N 023:014 said unto them, `Ye brought to me this man as perverting  the people, and lo, I before you having examined, found in  this man no fault in those things ye bring forward against  him; 
42N 023:015 no, nor yet Herod, for I sent you back unto him, and lo,  nothing worthy of death is having been done by him; 
42N 023:016 having chastised, therefore, I will release him,' 
42N 023:017 for it was necessary for him to release to them one at  every feast, 
42N 023:018 and they cried out -- the whole multitude -- saying, `Away  with this one, and release to us Barabbas,' 
42N 023:019 who had been, because of a certain sedition made in the  city, and murder, cast into prison. 
42N 023:020 Pilate again then -- wishing to release Jesus -- called to  them, 
42N 023:021 but they were calling out, saying, `Crucify, crucify him.' 
42N 023:022 And he a third time said unto them, `Why, what evil did  he? no cause of death did I find in him; having chastised him,  then, I will release [him].' 
42N 023:023 And they were pressing with loud voices asking him to be  crucified, and their voices, and those of the chief priests,  were prevailing, 
42N 023:024 and Pilate gave judgment for their request being done, 
42N 023:025 and he released him who because of sedition and murder  hath been cast into the prison, whom they were asking, and  Jesus he gave up to their will. 
42N 023:026 And as they led him away, having taken hold on Simon, a  certain Cyrenian, coming from the field, they put on him the  cross, to bear [it] behind Jesus. 
42N 023:027 And there was following him a great multitude of the  people, and of women, who also were beating themselves and  lamenting him, 
42N 023:028 and Jesus having turned unto them, said, `Daughters of  Jerusalem, weep not for me, but for yourselves weep ye, and for  your children; 
42N 023:029 for, lo, days do come, in which they shall say, Happy the  barren, and wombs that did not bare, and paps that did not give  suck; 
42N 023:030 then they shall begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us,  and to the hills, Cover us; -- 
42N 023:031 for, if in the green tree they do these things -- in the  dry what may happen?' 
42N 023:032 And there were also others -- two evil-doers -- with him,  to be put to death; 
42N 023:033 and when they came to the place that is called Skull,  there they crucified him and the evil-doers, one on the right  hand and one on the left. 
42N 023:034 And Jesus said, `Father, forgive them, for they have not  known what they do;' and parting his garments they cast a lot. 
42N 023:035 And the people were standing, looking on, and the rulers  also were sneering with them, saying, `Others he saved, let him  save himself, if this be the Christ, the choice one of God.' 
42N 023:036 And mocking him also were the soldiers, coming near and  offering vinegar to him, 
42N 023:037 and saying, `If thou be the king of the Jews, save  thyself.' 
42N 023:038 And there was also a superscription written over him, in  letters of Greek, and Roman, and Hebrew, `This is the King of  the Jews.' 
42N 023:039 And one of the evil-doers who were hanged, was speaking  evil of him, saying, `If thou be the Christ, save thyself and  us.' 
42N 023:040 And the other answering, was rebuking him, saying, `Dost  thou not even fear God, that thou art in the same judgment? 
42N 023:041 and we indeed righteously, for things worthy of what we  did we receive back, but this one did nothing out of place;' 
42N 023:042 and he said to Jesus, `Remember me, lord, when thou mayest  come in thy reign;' 
42N 023:043 and Jesus said to him, `Verily I say to thee, To-day with  me thou shalt be in the paradise.' 
42N 023:044 And it was, as it were, the sixth hour, and darkness came  over all the land till the ninth hour, 
42N 023:045 and the sun was darkened, and the vail of the sanctuary  was rent in the midst, 
42N 023:046 and having cried with a loud voice, Jesus said, `Father,  to Thy hands I commit my spirit;' and these things having said,  he breathed forth the spirit. 
42N 023:047 And the centurion having seen what was done, did glorify  God, saying, `Really this man was righteous;' 
42N 023:048 and all the multitudes who were come together to this  sight, beholding the things that came to pass, smiting their  breasts did turn back; 
42N 023:049 and all his acquaintances stood afar off, and women who  did follow him from Galilee, beholding these things. 
42N 023:050 And lo, a man, by name Joseph, being a counsellor, a man  good and righteous, 
42N 023:051 -- he was not consenting to their counsel and deed -- from  Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who also himself was expecting  the reign of God, 
42N 023:052 he, having gone near to Pilate, asked the body of Jesus, 
42N 023:053 and having taken it down, he wrapped it in fine linen, and  placed it in a tomb hewn out, where no one was yet laid. 
42N 023:054 And the day was a preparation, and sabbath was  approaching, 
42N 023:055 and the women also who have come with him out of Galilee  having followed after, beheld the tomb, and how his body was  placed, 
42N 023:056 and having turned back, they made ready spices and  ointments, and on the sabbath, indeed, they rested, according  to the command. 
42N 024:001 And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came  to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain  [others] with them, 
42N 024:002 and they found the stone having been rolled away from the  tomb, 
42N 024:003 and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord  Jesus. 
42N 024:004 And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this,  that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel, 
42N 024:005 and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the  face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the  living with the dead? 
42N 024:006 he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to  you, being yet in Galilee, 
42N 024:007 saying -- It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to  the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day  to rise again.' 
42N 024:008 And they remembered his sayings, 
42N 024:009 and having turned back from the tomb told all these things  to the eleven, and to all the rest. 
42N 024:010 And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of  James, and the other women with them, who told unto the  apostles these things, 
42N 024:011 and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and  they were not believing them. 
42N 024:012 And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having  stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he  went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to  pass. 
42N 024:013 And, lo, two of them were going on during that day to a  village, distant sixty furlongs from Jerusalem, the name of  which [is] Emmaus, 
42N 024:014 and they were conversing with one another about all these  things that have happened. 
42N 024:015 And it came to pass in their conversing and reasoning  together, that Jesus himself, having come nigh, was going on  with them, 
42N 024:016 and their eyes were holden so as not to know him, 
42N 024:017 and he said unto them, `What [are] these words that ye  exchange with one another, walking, and ye are sad?' 
42N 024:018 And the one, whose name was Cleopas, answering, said unto  him, `Art thou alone such a stranger in Jerusalem, that thou  hast not known the things that came to pass in it in these  days?' 
42N 024:019 And he said to them, `What things?' And they said to him,  `The things about Jesus of Nazareth, who became a man -- a  prophet -- powerful in deed and word, before God and all the  people, 
42N 024:020 how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him  up to a judgment of death, and crucified him; 
42N 024:021 and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem  Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is  passing to-day, since these things happened. 
42N 024:022 `And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming  early to the tomb, 
42N 024:023 and not having found his body, they came, saying also to  have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive, 
42N 024:024 and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and  found as even the women said, and him they saw not.' 
42N 024:025 And he said unto them, `O inconsiderate and slow in heart,  to believe on all that the prophets spake! 
42N 024:026 Was it not behoving the Christ these things to suffer, and  to enter into his glory?' 
42N 024:027 and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he  was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about  himself. 
42N 024:028 And they came nigh to the village whither they were going,  and he made an appearance of going on further, 
42N 024:029 and they constrained him, saying, `Remain with us, for it  is toward evening,' and the day did decline, and he went in to  remain with them. 
42N 024:030 And it came to pass, in his reclining (at meat) with them,  having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken, he was  giving to them, 
42N 024:031 and their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and  he became unseen by them. 
42N 024:032 And they said one to another, `Was not our heart burning  within us, as he was speaking to us in the way, and as he was  opening up to us the Writings?' 
42N 024:033 And they, having risen up the same hour, turned back to  Jerusalem, and found gathered together the eleven, and those  with them, 
42N 024:034 saying -- `The Lord was raised indeed, and was seen by  Simon;' 
42N 024:035 and they were telling the things in the way, and how he  was made known to them in the breaking of the bread, 
42N 024:036 and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood  in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace -- to you;' 
42N 024:037 and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were  thinking themselves to see a spirit. 
42N 024:038 And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore  do reasonings come up in your hearts? 
42N 024:039 see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see,  because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me  having.' 
42N 024:040 And having said this, he shewed to them the hands and the  feet, 
42N 024:041 and while they are not believing from the joy, and  wondering, he said to them, `Have ye anything here to eat?' 
42N 024:042 and they gave to him part of a broiled fish, and of an  honeycomb, 
42N 024:043 and having taken, he did eat before them, 
42N 024:044 and he said to them, `These [are] the words that I spake  unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled  all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the  Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.' 
42N 024:045 Then opened he up their understanding to understand the  Writings, 
42N 024:046 and he said to them -- `Thus it hath been written, and  thus it was behoving the Christ to suffer, and to rise out of  the dead the third day, 
42N 024:047 and reformation and remission of sins to be proclaimed in  his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem: 
42N 024:048 and ye -- ye are witnesses of these things. 
42N 024:049 `And, lo, I do send the promise of my Father upon you, but  ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye be clothed with  power from on high.' 
42N 024:050 And he led them forth without -- unto Bethany, and having  lifted up his hands he did bless them, 
42N 024:051 and it came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted  from them, and was borne up to the heaven; 
42N 024:052 and they, having bowed before him, did turn back to  Jerusalem with great joy, 
42N 024:053 and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing  God. Amen.  
43N 001:001 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,  and the Word was God; 
43N 001:002 this one was in the beginning with God; 
43N 001:003 all things through him did happen, and without him happened  not even one thing that hath happened. 
43N 001:004 In him was life, and the life was the light of men, 
43N 001:005 and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness  did not perceive it. 
43N 001:006 There came a man -- having been sent from God -- whose name  [is] John, 
43N 001:007 this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the  Light, that all might believe through him; 
43N 001:008 that one was not the Light, but -- that he might testify  about the Light. 
43N 001:009 He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man,  coming to the world; 
43N 001:010 in the world he was, and the world through him was made,  and the world did not know him: 
43N 001:011 to his own things he came, and his own people did not  receive him; 
43N 001:012 but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to  become sons of God -- to those believing in his name, 
43N 001:013 who -- not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will  of man but -- of God were begotten. 
43N 001:014 And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and  we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father,  full of grace and truth. 
43N 001:015 John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying,  `This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath  come before me, for he was before me;' 
43N 001:016 and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace  over-against grace; 
43N 001:017 for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the  truth through Jesus Christ did come; 
43N 001:018 God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on  the bosom of the Father -- he did declare. 
43N 001:019 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out  of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question  him, `Who art thou?' 
43N 001:020 and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed -- `I am  not the Christ.' 
43N 001:021 And they questioned him, `What then? Elijah art thou?' and  he saith, `I am not.' -- `The prophet art thou?' and he  answered, `No.' 
43N 001:022 They said then to him, `Who art thou, that we may give an  answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning  thyself?' 
43N 001:023 He said, `I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness:  Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the  prophet.' 
43N 001:024 And those sent were of the Pharisees, 
43N 001:025 and they questioned him and said to him, `Why, then, dost  thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the  prophet?' 
43N 001:026 John answered them, saying, `I baptize with water, but in  midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it  is who is coming after me, who hath been before me, 
43N 001:027 of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his  sandal.' 
43N 001:028 These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan,  where John was baptizing, 
43N 001:029 on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,  `Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world; 
43N 001:030 this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a  man, who hath come before me, because he was before me: 
43N 001:031 and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to  Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing. 
43N 001:032 And John testified, saying -- `I have seen the Spirit  coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him; 
43N 001:033 and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with  water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayst see the Spirit  coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing  with the Holy Spirit; 
43N 001:034 and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son  of God.' 
43N 001:035 On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his  disciples, 
43N 001:036 and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, `Lo, the Lamb  of God;' 
43N 001:037 and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed  Jesus. 
43N 001:038 And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following,  saith to them, `What seek ye?' and they said to them, `Rabbi,  (which is, being interpreted, Teacher,) where remainest thou?' 
43N 001:039 He saith to them, `Come and see;' they came, and saw where  he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the  hour was about the tenth. 
43N 001:040 Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who  heard from John, and followed him; 
43N 001:041 this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith  to him, `We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being  interpreted, The Anointed,) 
43N 001:042 and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him,  Jesus saith, `Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be  called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.) 
43N 001:043 On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he  findeth Philip, and saith to him, `Be following me.' 
43N 001:044 And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and  Peter; 
43N 001:045 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, `Him of whom  Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus  the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;' 
43N 001:046 and Nathanael said to him, `Out of Nazareth is any good  thing able to be?' Philip said to him, `Come and see.' 
43N 001:047 Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith  concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is  not;' 
43N 001:048 Nathanael saith to him, `Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus  answered and said to him, `Before Philip's calling thee -- thou  being under the fig-tree -- I saw thee.' 
43N 001:049 Nathanael answered and saith to him, `Rabbi, thou art the  Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.' 
43N 001:050 Jesus answered and said to him, `Because I said to thee, I  saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things  than these thou shalt see;' 
43N 001:051 and he saith to him, `Verily, verily, I say to you,  henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers  of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.' 
43N 002:001 And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee,  and the mother of Jesus was there, 
43N 002:002 and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the  marriage; 
43N 002:003 and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him,  `Wine they have not;' 
43N 002:004 Jesus saith to her, `What -- to me and to thee, woman? not  yet is mine hour come.' 
43N 002:005 His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to  you -- do.' 
43N 002:006 And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed  according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or  three measures. 
43N 002:007 Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;' and  they filled them -- unto the brim; 
43N 002:008 and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the  director of the apartment;' and they bare. 
43N 002:009 And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become  wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who  have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the  bridegroom, 
43N 002:010 and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth  set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the  inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.' 
43N 002:011 This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee,  and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him; 
43N 002:012 after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother,  and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained  not many days. 
43N 002:013 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to  Jerusalem, 
43N 002:014 and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep,  and doves, and the money-changers sitting, 
43N 002:015 and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out  of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the  money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he  overthrew, 
43N 002:016 and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things  hence; make not the house of my Father a house of  merchandise.' 
43N 002:017 And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal  of Thy house did eat me up;' 
43N 002:018 the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost  thou shew to us -- that thou dost these things?' 
43N 002:019 Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary,  and in three days I will raise it up.' 
43N 002:020 The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this  sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?' 
43N 002:021 but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body; 
43N 002:022 when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples  remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the  Writing, and the word that Jesus said. 
43N 002:023 And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast,  many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was  doing; 
43N 002:024 and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because  of his knowing all [men], 
43N 002:025 and because he had no need that any should testify  concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man. 
43N 003:001 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus his name, a  ruler of the Jews, 
43N 003:002 this one came unto him by night, and said to him, `Rabbi, we  have known that from God thou hast come -- a teacher, for no  one these signs is able to do that thou dost, if God may not  be with him.' 
43N 003:003 Jesus answered and said to him, `Verily, verily, I say to  thee, If any one may not be born from above, he is not able to  see the reign of God;' 
43N 003:004 Nicodemus saith unto him, `How is a man able to be born,  being old? is he able into the womb of his mother a second  time to enter, and to be born?' 
43N 003:005 Jesus answered, `Verily, verily, I say to thee, If any one  may not be born of water, and the Spirit, he is not able to  enter into the reign of God; 
43N 003:006 that which hath been born of the flesh is flesh, and that  which hath been born of the Spirit is spirit. 
43N 003:007 `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you  to be born from above; 
43N 003:008 the Spirit where he willeth doth blow, and his voice thou  dost hear, but thou hast not known whence he cometh, and  whither he goeth; thus is every one who hath been born of the  Spirit.' 
43N 003:009 Nicodemus answered and said to him, `How are these things  able to happen?' 
43N 003:010 Jesus answered and said to him, `Thou art the teacher of  Israel -- and these things thou dost not know! 
43N 003:011 `Verily, verily, I say to thee -- What we have known we  speak, and what we have seen we testify, and our testimony ye  do not receive; 
43N 003:012 if the earthly things I said to you, and ye do not believe,  how, if I shall say to you the heavenly things, will ye  believe? 
43N 003:013 and no one hath gone up to the heaven, except he who out of  the heaven came down -- the Son of Man who is in the heaven. 
43N 003:014 `And as Moses did lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so  it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up, 
43N 003:015 that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but  may have life age-during, 
43N 003:016 for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only  begotten -- He gave, that every one who is believing in him  may not perish, but may have life age-during. 
43N 003:017 For God did not send His Son to the world that he may judge  the world, but that the world may be saved through him; 
43N 003:018 he who is believing in him is not judged, but he who is not  believing hath been judged already, because he hath not  believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 
43N 003:019 `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the  world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light,  for their works were evil; 
43N 003:020 for every one who is doing wicked things hateth the light,  and doth not come unto the light, that his works may not be  detected; 
43N 003:021 but he who is doing the truth doth come to the light, that  his works may be manifested, that in God they are having been  wrought.' 
43N 003:022 After these things came Jesus and his disciples to the land  of Judea, and there he did tarry with them, and was baptizing; 
43N 003:023 and John was also baptizing in Aenon, nigh to Salem,  because there were many waters there, and they were coming and  were being baptized -- 
43N 003:024 for John was not yet cast into the prison -- 
43N 003:025 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with  [some] Jews about purifying, 
43N 003:026 and they came unto John, and said to him, `Rabbi, he who  was with thee beyond the Jordan, to whom thou didst testify,  lo, this one is baptizing, and all are coming unto him.' 
43N 003:027 John answered and said, `A man is not able to receive  anything, if it may not have been given him from the heaven; 
43N 003:028 ye yourselves do testify to me that I said, I am not the  Christ, but, that I am having been sent before him; 
43N 003:029 he who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of  the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing him, with joy doth  rejoice because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my  joy hath been fulfilled. 
43N 003:030 `Him it behoveth to increase, and me to become less; 
43N 003:031 he who from above is coming is above all; he who is from  the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he  speaketh; he who from the heaven is coming is above all. 
43N 003:032 `And what he hath seen and heard this he doth testify, and  his testimony none receiveth; 
43N 003:033 he who is receiving his testimony did seal that God is  true; 
43N 003:034 for he whom God sent, the sayings of God he speaketh; for  not by measure doth God give the Spirit; 
43N 003:035 the Father doth love the Son, and all things hath given  into his hand; 
43N 003:036 he who is believing in the Son, hath life age-during; and  he who is not believing the Son, shall not see life, but the  wrath of God doth remain upon him.' 
43N 004:001 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that  Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John, 
43N 004:002 (though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his  disciples,) 
43N 004:003 he left Judea and went away again to Galilee, 
43N 004:004 and it was behoving him to go through Samaria. 
43N 004:005 He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar,  near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son; 
43N 004:006 and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having  been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well;  it was as it were the sixth hour; 
43N 004:007 there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus  saith to her, `Give me to drink;' 
43N 004:008 for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may  buy victuals; 
43N 004:009 the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou,  being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?' for  Jews have no dealing with Samaritans. 
43N 004:010 Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the  gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to  drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given  thee living water.' 
43N 004:011 The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel  to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the  living water? 
43N 004:012 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the  well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his  cattle?' 
43N 004:013 Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking  of this water shall thirst again; 
43N 004:014 but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him,  may not thirst -- to the age; and the water that I will give  him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life  age-during.' 
43N 004:015 The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I  may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.' 
43N 004:016 Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come  hither;' 
43N 004:017 the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.' Jesus  saith to her, `Well didst thou say -- A husband I have not; 
43N 004:018 for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou  hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.' 
43N 004:019 The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a  prophet; 
43N 004:020 our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye -- ye say  that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.' 
43N 004:021 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth  come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem,  shall ye worship the Father; 
43N 004:022 ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have  known, because the salvation is of the Jews; 
43N 004:023 but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true  worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for  the Father also doth seek such to worship him; 
43N 004:024 God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit  and truth it doth behove to worship.' 
43N 004:025 The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth  come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will  tell us all things;' 
43N 004:026 Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.' 
43N 004:027 And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that  with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What  seekest thou?' or `Why speakest thou with her?' 
43N 004:028 The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the  city, and saith to the men, 
43N 004:029 `Come, see a man, who told me all things -- as many as I  did; is this the Christ?' 
43N 004:030 They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming  unto him. 
43N 004:031 And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying,  `Rabbi, eat;' 
43N 004:032 and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not  known.' 
43N 004:033 The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring  him anything to eat?' 
43N 004:034 Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of  Him who sent me, and may finish His work; 
43N 004:035 do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest  cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the  fields, that they are white unto harvest already. 
43N 004:036 `And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth  gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and  he who is reaping may rejoice together; 
43N 004:037 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the  sower and another the reaper. 
43N 004:038 I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured;  others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered. 
43N 004:039 And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans,  because of the word of the woman testifying, -- `He told me all  things -- as many as I did.' 
43N 004:040 When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking  him to remain with them, and he remained there two days; 
43N 004:041 and many more did believe because of his word, 
43N 004:042 and said to the woman -- `No more because of thy speaking  do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this  is truly the Saviour of the world -- the Christ.' 
43N 004:043 And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away  to Galilee, 
43N 004:044 for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own  country shall not have honour; 
43N 004:045 when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him,  having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast  -- for they also went to the feast. 
43N 004:046 Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he  made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose  son was ailing in Capernaum, 
43N 004:047 he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to  Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may  come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die. 
43N 004:048 Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not  see, ye will not believe.' 
43N 004:049 The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my  child die;' 
43N 004:050 Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.' And  the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going  on, 
43N 004:051 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told,  saying -- `Thy child doth live;' 
43N 004:052 he inquired then of them the hour in which he became  better, and they said to him -- `Yesterday at the seventh hour  the fever left him;' 
43N 004:053 then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which  Jesus said to him -- `Thy son doth live,' and he himself  believed, and his whole house; 
43N 004:054 this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of  Judea to Galilee. 
43N 005:001 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus  went up to Jerusalem, 
43N 005:002 and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is  called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches, 
43N 005:003 in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind,  lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water, 
43N 005:004 for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool,  and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in  after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever  sickness he was held. 
43N 005:005 and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty  and eight years, 
43N 005:006 him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is  already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become  whole?' 
43N 005:007 The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when  the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and  while I am coming, another doth go down before me.' 
43N 005:008 Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be  walking;' 
43N 005:009 and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his  couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day, 
43N 005:010 the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a  sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.' 
43N 005:011 He answered them, `He who made me whole -- that one said to  me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;' 
43N 005:012 they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to  thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?' 
43N 005:013 But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus  did move away, a multitude being in the place. 
43N 005:014 After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and  said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest  something worse may happen to thee.' 
43N 005:015 The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who  made him whole, 
43N 005:016 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and  seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a  sabbath. 
43N 005:017 And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and  I work;' 
43N 005:018 because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to  kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he  also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God. 
43N 005:019 Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily,  verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of  himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for  whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner  doth; 
43N 005:020 for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all  things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He  will shew him, that ye may wonder. 
43N 005:021 `For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make  alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth; 
43N 005:022 for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the  judgment He hath given to the Son, 
43N 005:023 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the  Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the  Father who sent him. 
43N 005:024 `Verily, verily, I say to you -- He who is hearing my word,  and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to  judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to  the life. 
43N 005:025 `Verily, verily, I say to you -- There cometh an hour, and  it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of  God, and those having heard shall live; 
43N 005:026 for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to  the Son to have life in himself, 
43N 005:027 and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he  is Son of Man. 
43N 005:028 `Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in  which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice, 
43N 005:029 and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to  a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things  to a rising again of judgment. 
43N 005:030 `I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I  hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not  my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me. 
43N 005:031 `If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true; 
43N 005:032 another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I  have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning  me is true; 
43N 005:033 ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth. 
43N 005:034 `But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things  I say that ye may be saved; 
43N 005:035 he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be  glad, for an hour, in his light. 
43N 005:036 `But I have the testimony greater than John's, for the  works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the  works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that  the Father hath sent me. 
43N 005:037 `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified  concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor  His appearance have ye seen; 
43N 005:038 and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He  sent, him ye do not believe. 
43N 005:039 `Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have  life age-during, and these are they that are testifying  concerning me; 
43N 005:040 and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life; 
43N 005:041 glory from man I do not receive, 
43N 005:042 but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in  yourselves. 
43N 005:043 `I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not  receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will  receive; 
43N 005:044 how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another  receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not? 
43N 005:045 `Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there  is who is accusing you, Moses -- in whom ye have hoped; 
43N 005:046 for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been  believing me, for he wrote concerning me; 
43N 005:047 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my  sayings?' 
43N 006:001 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee  (of Tiberias), 
43N 006:002 and there was following him a great multitude, because they  were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing; 
43N 006:003 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting  with his disciples, 
43N 006:004 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews. 
43N 006:005 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that  a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, `Whence  shall we buy loaves, that these may eat?' -- 
43N 006:006 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what  he was about to do. 
43N 006:007 Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves  are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some  little;' 
43N 006:008 one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter  -- saith to him, 
43N 006:009 `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves,  and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?' 
43N 006:010 And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was  much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as  it were, five thousand, 
43N 006:011 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he  distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those  reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much  as they wished. 
43N 006:012 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples,  `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing  may be lost;' 
43N 006:013 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve  hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves  that were over to those having eaten. 
43N 006:014 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said --  `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;' 
43N 006:015 Jesus, therefore, having known that they are about to come,  and to take him by force that they may make him king, retired  again to the mountain himself alone. 
43N 006:016 And when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 
43N 006:017 and having entered into the boat, they were going over the  sea to Capernaum, and darkness had already come, and Jesus had  not come unto them, 
43N 006:018 the sea also -- a great wind blowing -- was being raised, 
43N 006:019 having pushed onwards, therefore, about twenty-five or  thirty furlongs, they behold Jesus walking on the sea, and  coming nigh to the boat, and they were afraid; 
43N 006:020 and he saith to them, `I am [he], be not afraid;' 
43N 006:021 they were willing then to receive him into the boat, and  immediately the boat came unto the land to which they were  going. 
43N 006:022 On the morrow, the multitude that was standing on the other  side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little  boat there except one -- that into which his disciples entered  -- and that Jesus went not in with his disciples into the  little boat, but his disciples went away alone, 
43N 006:023 (and other little boats came from Tiberias, nigh the place  where they did eat the bread, the Lord having given thanks), 
43N 006:024 when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there,  nor his disciples, they also themselves did enter into the  boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus; 
43N 006:025 and having found him on the other side of the sea, they  said to him, `Rabbi, when hast thou come hither?' 
43N 006:026 Jesus answered them and said, `Verily, verily, I say to  you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw signs, but because ye did  eat of the loaves, and were satisfied; 
43N 006:027 work not for the food that is perishing, but for the food  that is remaining to life age-during, which the Son of Man  will give to you, for him did the Father seal -- [even] God.' 
43N 006:028 They said therefore unto him, `What may we do that we may  work the works of God?' 
43N 006:029 Jesus answered and said to them, `This is the work of God,  that ye may believe in him whom He did send.' 
43N 006:030 They said therefore to him, `What sign, then, dost thou,  that we may see and may believe thee? what dost thou work? 
43N 006:031 our fathers the manna did eat in the wilderness, according  as it is having been written, Bread out of the heaven He gave  them to eat.' 
43N 006:032 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to  you, Moses did not give you the bread out of the heaven; but my  Father doth give you the true bread out of the heaven; 
43N 006:033 for the bread of God is that which is coming down out of  the heaven, and giving life to the world.' 
43N 006:034 They said, therefore, unto him, `Sir, always give us this  bread.' 
43N 006:035 And Jesus said to them, `I am the bread of the life; he who  is coming unto me may not hunger, and he who is believing in  me may not thirst -- at any time; 
43N 006:036 but I said to you, that ye also have seen me, and ye  believe not; 
43N 006:037 all that the Father doth give to me will come unto me; and  him who is coming unto me, I may in no wise cast without, 
43N 006:038 because I have come down out of the heaven, not that I may  do my will, but the will of Him who sent me. 
43N 006:039 `And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that all  that He hath given to me I may not lose of it, but may raise  it up in the last day; 
43N 006:040 and this is the will of Him who sent me, that every one who  is beholding the Son, and is believing in him, may have life  age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day.' 
43N 006:041 The Jews, therefore, were murmuring at him, because he  said, `I am the bread that came down out of the heaven;' 
43N 006:042 and they said, `Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose  father and mother we have known? how then saith this one -- Out  of the heaven I have come down?' 
43N 006:043 Jesus answered, therefore, and said to them, `Murmur not  one with another; 
43N 006:044 no one is able to come unto me, if the Father who sent me  may not draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day; 
43N 006:045 it is having been written in the prophets, And they shall  be all taught of God; every one therefore who heard from the  Father, and learned, cometh to me; 
43N 006:046 not that any one hath seen the Father, except he who is  from God, he hath seen the Father. 
43N 006:047 `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is believing in me,  hath life age-during; 
43N 006:048 I am the bread of the life; 
43N 006:049 your fathers did eat the manna in the wilderness, and they  died; 
43N 006:050 this is the bread that out of the heaven is coming down,  that any one may eat of it, and not die. 
43N 006:051 `I am the living bread that came down out of the heaven; if  any one may eat of this bread he shall live -- to the age; and  the bread also that I will give is my flesh, that I will give  for the life of the world.' 
43N 006:052 The Jews, therefore, were striving with one another,  saying, `How is this one able to give us [his] flesh to eat?' 
43N 006:053 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to  you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not  drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; 
43N 006:054 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath  life age-during, and I will raise him up in the last day; 
43N 006:055 for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; 
43N 006:056 he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth  remain in me, and I in him. 
43N 006:057 `According as the living Father sent me, and I live because  of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall  live because of me; 
43N 006:058 this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as  your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this  bread shall live -- to the age.' 
43N 006:059 These things he said in a synagogue, teaching in Capernaum; 
43N 006:060 many, therefore, of his disciples having heard, said, `This  word is hard; who is able to hear it?' 
43N 006:061 And Jesus having known in himself that his disciples are  murmuring about this, said to them, `Doth this stumble you? 
43N 006:062 if then ye may behold the Son of Man going up where he was  before? 
43N 006:063 the spirit it is that is giving life; the flesh doth not  profit anything; the sayings that I speak to you are spirit,  and they are life; 
43N 006:064 but there are certain of you who do not believe;' for Jesus  had known from the beginning who they are who are not  believing, and who is he who will deliver him up, 
43N 006:065 and he said, `Because of this I have said to you -- No one  is able to come unto me, if it may not have been given him  from my Father.' 
43N 006:066 From this [time] many of his disciples went away backward,  and were no more walking with him, 
43N 006:067 Jesus, therefore, said to the twelve, `Do ye also wish to  go away?' 
43N 006:068 Simon Peter, therefore, answered him, `Sir, unto whom shall  we go? thou hast sayings of life age-during; 
43N 006:069 and we have believed, and we have known, that thou art the  Christ, the Son of the living God.' 
43N 006:070 Jesus answered them, `Did not I choose you -- the twelve?  and of you -- one is a devil. 
43N 006:071 And he spake of Judas, Simon's [son], Iscariot, for he was  about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve. 
43N 007:001 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he  did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking  to kill him, 
43N 007:002 and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles -- 
43N 007:003 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and  go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works  that thou dost; 
43N 007:004 for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to  be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to  the world;' 
43N 007:005 for not even were his brethren believing in him. 
43N 007:006 Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet  present, but your time is always ready; 
43N 007:007 the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate,  because I testify concerning it that its works are evil. 
43N 007:008 Ye -- go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this  feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;' 
43N 007:009 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee. 
43N 007:010 And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up  to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret; 
43N 007:011 the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and  said, `Where is that one?' 
43N 007:012 and there was much murmuring about him among the  multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said,  `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;' 
43N 007:013 no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through  fear of the Jews. 
43N 007:014 And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to  the temple, and he was teaching, 
43N 007:015 and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one  known letters -- not having learned?' 
43N 007:016 Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but  His who sent me; 
43N 007:017 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know  concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak  from myself. 
43N 007:018 `He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek,  but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one  is true, and unrighteousness is not in him; 
43N 007:019 hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the  law; why me do ye seek to kill?' 
43N 007:020 The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who  doth seek to kill thee?' 
43N 007:021 Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye  all wonder, 
43N 007:022 because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision --  not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath  ye circumcise a man; 
43N 007:023 if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the  law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I  made a man all whole on a sabbath? 
43N 007:024 judge not according to appearance, but the righteous  judgment judge.' 
43N 007:025 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this  he whom they are seeking to kill? 
43N 007:026 and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him;  did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ? 
43N 007:027 but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ,  when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.' 
43N 007:028 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying,  `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I  have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye  have not known; 
43N 007:029 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did  send me.' 
43N 007:030 They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid  the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come, 
43N 007:031 and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said  -- `The Christ -- when he may come -- will he do more signs  than these that this one did?' 
43N 007:032 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things  concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent  officers that they may take him; 
43N 007:033 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am  with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me; 
43N 007:034 ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye  are not able to come.' 
43N 007:035 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is  this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the  dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the  Greeks; 
43N 007:036 what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye  shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?' 
43N 007:037 And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood  and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto  me and drink; 
43N 007:038 he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said,  Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;' 
43N 007:039 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in  him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit,  because Jesus was not yet glorified. 
43N 007:040 Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the  word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;' 
43N 007:041 others said, `This is the Christ;' and others said, `Why,  out of Galilee doth the Christ come? 
43N 007:042 Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and  from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ  doth come?' 
43N 007:043 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of  him. 
43N 007:044 And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one  laid hands on him; 
43N 007:045 the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and  Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring  him?' 
43N 007:046 The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.' 
43N 007:047 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been  led astray? 
43N 007:048 did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the  Pharisees? 
43N 007:049 but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is  accursed.' 
43N 007:050 Nicodemus saith unto them -- he who came by night unto him  -- being one of them, 
43N 007:051 `Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him  first, and know what he doth?' 
43N 007:052 They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of  Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not  risen;' 
43N 007:053 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the  mount of the Olives. 
43N 008:001 And at dawn he came again to the temple, 
43N 008:002 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat  down, he was teaching them; 
43N 008:003 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman  having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the  midst, 
43N 008:004 they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very  crime -- committing adultery, 
43N 008:005 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned;  thou, therefore, what dost thou say?' 
43N 008:006 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to  accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he  was writing on the ground, 
43N 008:007 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself  back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you -- let him first  cast the stone at her;' 
43N 008:008 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground, 
43N 008:009 and they having heard, and by the conscience being  convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the  elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the  woman standing in the midst. 
43N 008:010 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one  but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those -- thine  accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?' 
43N 008:011 and she said, `No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her,  `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more  sin.' 
43N 008:012 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the  light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in  the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.' 
43N 008:013 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself  dost testify, thy testimony is not true;' 
43N 008:014 Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of  myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I  came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I  come, or whither I go. 
43N 008:015 `Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any  one, 
43N 008:016 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am  not alone, but I and the Father who sent me; 
43N 008:017 and also in your law it hath been written, that the  testimony of two men are true; 
43N 008:018 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who  sent me doth testify of me.' 
43N 008:019 They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus  answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had  known, my Father also ye had known.' 
43N 008:020 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the  temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet  come; 
43N 008:021 therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will  seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye  are not able to come.' 
43N 008:022 The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because  he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?' 
43N 008:023 and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above;  ye are of this world, I am not of this world; 
43N 008:024 I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins,  for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your  sins.' 
43N 008:025 They said, therefore, to him, `Thou -- who art thou?' and  Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the  beginning; 
43N 008:026 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge,  but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from  Him -- these I say to the world.' 
43N 008:027 They knew not that of the Father he spake to them; 
43N 008:028 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the  Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I  do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these  things I speak; 
43N 008:029 and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me  alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.' 
43N 008:030 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him; 
43N 008:031 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him,  `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and  ye shall know the truth, 
43N 008:032 and the truth shall make you free.' 
43N 008:033 They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one  have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye  shall become free?' 
43N 008:034 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every  one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin, 
43N 008:035 and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age,  the son doth remain -- to the age; 
43N 008:036 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be  free. 
43N 008:037 `I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to  kill me, because my word hath no place in you; 
43N 008:038 I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and  ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye  do.' 
43N 008:039 They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;'  Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the  works of Abraham ye were doing; 
43N 008:040 and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you  the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not; 
43N 008:041 ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to  him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have --  God;' 
43N 008:042 Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were  loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither  have I come of myself, but He sent me; 
43N 008:043 wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able  to hear my word. 
43N 008:044 `Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your  father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning,  and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth  in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he  speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father. 
43N 008:045 `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me. 
43N 008:046 Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth,  wherefore do ye not believe me? 
43N 008:047 he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because  of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.' 
43N 008:048 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not  say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?' 
43N 008:049 Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my  Father, and ye dishonour me; 
43N 008:050 and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and  is judging; 
43N 008:051 verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word,  death he may not see -- to the age.' 
43N 008:052 The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that  thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou  dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of  death -- to the age! 
43N 008:053 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the  prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?' 
43N 008:054 Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing;  it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is  your God; 
43N 008:055 and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I  say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you -- speaking  falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep; 
43N 008:056 Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day;  and he saw, and did rejoice.' 
43N 008:057 The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty  years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?' 
43N 008:058 Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before  Abraham's coming -- I am;' 
43N 008:059 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him,  but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going  through the midst of them, and so passed by. 
43N 009:001 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth, 
43N 009:002 and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin,  this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?' 
43N 009:003 Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents,  but that the works of God may be manifested in him; 
43N 009:004 it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me  while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work:  -- 
43N 009:005 when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.' 
43N 009:006 These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of  the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man,  and said to him, 
43N 009:007 `Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is,  interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and  came seeing; 
43N 009:008 the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that  he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and  begging?' 
43N 009:009 others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to  him;' he himself said, -- `I am [he].' 
43N 009:010 They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?' 
43N 009:011 he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and  rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam,  and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received  sight;' 
43N 009:012 they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he  saith, `I have not known.' 
43N 009:013 They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind, 
43N 009:014 and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened  his eyes. 
43N 009:015 Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he  received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my  eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.' 
43N 009:016 Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not  from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said,  `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and  there was a division among them. 
43N 009:017 They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou  say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?' 
43N 009:018 and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did  not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive  sight, till that they called the parents of him who received  sight, 
43N 009:019 and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say  that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?' 
43N 009:020 His parents answered them and said, `We have known that  this is our son, and that he was born blind; 
43N 009:021 and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his  eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he  himself shall speak concerning himself.' 
43N 009:022 These things said his parents, because they were afraid of  the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if  any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the  synagogue; 
43N 009:023 because of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask  him.' 
43N 009:024 They called, therefore, a second time the man who was  blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known  that this man is a sinner;' 
43N 009:025 he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner -- I  have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now  I see.' 
43N 009:026 And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did  he open thine eyes?' 
43N 009:027 He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear;  why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his  disciples?' 
43N 009:028 They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his  disciple, and we are Moses' disciples; 
43N 009:029 we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one  -- we have not known whence he is.' 
43N 009:030 The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a  wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he  opened my eyes! 
43N 009:031 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if  any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him  He doth hear; 
43N 009:032 from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes  of one who hath been born blind; 
43N 009:033 if this one were not from God, he were not able to do  anything.' 
43N 009:034 They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born  altogether, and thou dost teach us!' and they cast him forth  without. 
43N 009:035 Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having  found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of  God?' 
43N 009:036 he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe  in him?' 
43N 009:037 And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who  is speaking with thee is he;' 
43N 009:038 and he said, `I believe, sir,' and bowed before him. 
43N 009:039 And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come,  that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become  blind.' 
43N 009:040 And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these  things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?' 
43N 009:041 Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having  had sin, but now ye say -- We see, therefore doth your sin  remain. 
43N 010:001 `Verily, verily, I say to you, He who is not entering  through the door to the fold of the sheep, but is going up  from another side, that one is a thief and a robber; 
43N 010:002 and he who is entering through the door is shepherd of the  sheep; 
43N 010:003 to this one the doorkeeper doth open, and the sheep hear  his voice, and his own sheep he doth call by name, and doth  lead them forth; 
43N 010:004 and when his own sheep he may put forth, before them he  goeth on, and the sheep follow him, because they have known  his voice; 
43N 010:005 and a stranger they will not follow, but will flee from  him, because they have not known the voice of strangers.' 
43N 010:006 This similitude spake Jesus to them, and they knew not what  the things were that he was speaking to them; 
43N 010:007 Jesus said therefore again to them, `Verily, verily, I say  to you -- I am the door of the sheep; 
43N 010:008 all, as many as came before me, are thieves and robbers,  but the sheep did not hear them; 
43N 010:009 I am the door, through me if any one may come in, he shall  be saved, and he shall come in, and go out, and find pasture. 
43N 010:010 `The thief doth not come, except that he may steal, and  kill, and destroy; I came that they may have life, and may have  [it] abundantly. 
43N 010:011 `I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd his life layeth  down for the sheep; 
43N 010:012 and the hireling, and not being a shepherd, whose own the  sheep are not, doth behold the wolf coming, and doth leave the  sheep, and doth flee; and the wolf catcheth them, and  scattereth the sheep; 
43N 010:013 and the hireling doth flee because he is an hireling, and  is not caring for the sheep. 
43N 010:014 `I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am  known by mine, 
43N 010:015 according as the Father doth know me, and I know the  Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep, 
43N 010:016 and other sheep I have that are not of this fold, these  also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and  there shall become one flock -- one shepherd. 
43N 010:017 `Because of this doth the Father love me, because I lay  down my life, that again I may take it; 
43N 010:018 no one doth take it from me, but I lay it down of myself;  authority I have to lay it down, and authority I have again to  take it; this command I received from my Father.' 
43N 010:019 Therefore, again, there came a division among the Jews,  because of these words, 
43N 010:020 and many of them said, `He hath a demon, and is mad, why  do ye hear him?' 
43N 010:021 others said, `These sayings are not those of a demoniac;  is a demon able blind men's eyes to open?' 
43N 010:022 And the dedication in Jerusalem came, and it was winter, 
43N 010:023 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of  Solomon, 
43N 010:024 the Jews, therefore, came round about him, and said to  him, `Till when our soul dost thou hold in suspense? if thou  art the Christ, tell us freely.' 
43N 010:025 Jesus answered them, `I told you, and ye do not believe;  the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify  concerning me; 
43N 010:026 but ye do not believe, for ye are not of my sheep, 
43N 010:027 according as I said to you: My sheep my voice do hear, and  I know them, and they follow me, 
43N 010:028 and life age-during I give to them, and they shall not  perish -- to the age, and no one shall pluck them out of my  hand; 
43N 010:029 my Father, who hath given to me, is greater than all, and  no one is able to pluck out of the hand of my Father; 
43N 010:030 I and the Father are one.' 
43N 010:031 Therefore, again, did the Jews take up stones that they  may stone him; 
43N 010:032 Jesus answered them, `Many good works did I shew you from  my Father; because of which work of them do ye stone me?' 
43N 010:033 The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not  stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a  man, dost make thyself God.' 
43N 010:034 Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in  your law: I said, ye are gods? 
43N 010:035 if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came,  (and the Writing is not able to be broken,) 
43N 010:036 of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the  world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of  God I am? 
43N 010:037 if I do not the works of my Father, do not believe me; 
43N 010:038 and if I do, even if me ye may not believe, the works  believe, that ye may know and may believe that in me [is] the  Father, and I in Him.' 
43N 010:039 Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he  went forth out of their hand, 
43N 010:040 and went away again to the other side of the Jordan, to  the place where John was at first baptizing, and remained  there, 
43N 010:041 and many came unto him, and said -- `John, indeed, did no  sign, and all things, as many as John said about this one were  true;' 
43N 010:042 and many did believe in him there. 
43N 011:001 And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany,  of the village of Mary and Martha her sister -- 
43N 011:002 and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and  did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was  ailing -- 
43N 011:003 therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, `Sir, lo, he  whom thou dost love is ailing;' 
43N 011:004 and Jesus having heard, said, `This ailment is not unto  death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be  glorified through it.' 
43N 011:005 And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus, 
43N 011:006 when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he  remained in the place in which he was two days, 
43N 011:007 then after this, he saith to the disciples, `We may go to  Judea again;' 
43N 011:008 the disciples say to him, `Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking  to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!' 
43N 011:009 Jesus answered, `Are there not twelve hours in the day? if  any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the  light of this world he doth see; 
43N 011:010 and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth,  because the light is not in him.' 
43N 011:011 These things he said, and after this he saith to them,  `Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may  awake him;' 
43N 011:012 therefore said his disciples, `Sir, if he hath fallen  asleep, he will be saved;' 
43N 011:013 but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought  that about the repose of sleep he speaketh. 
43N 011:014 Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, `Lazarus hath  died; 
43N 011:015 and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe,) that  I was not there; but we may go to him;' 
43N 011:016 therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the  fellow-disciples, `We may go -- we also, that we may die with  him,' 
43N 011:017 Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four  days already in the tomb. 
43N 011:018 And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs  off, 
43N 011:019 and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that  they might comfort them concerning their brother; 
43N 011:020 Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come,  met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house. 
43N 011:021 Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, `Sir, if thou hadst  been here, my brother had not died; 
43N 011:022 but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask  of God, God will give to thee;' 
43N 011:023 Jesus saith to her, `Thy brother shall rise again.' 
43N 011:024 Martha saith to him, `I have known that he will rise  again, in the rising again in the last day;' 
43N 011:025 Jesus said to her, `I am the rising again, and the life;  he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live; 
43N 011:026 and every one who is living and believing in me shall not  die -- to the age; 
43N 011:027 believest thou this?' she saith to him, `Yes, sir, I have  believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is  coming to the world.' 
43N 011:028 And these things having said, she went away, and called  Mary her sister privately, saying, `The Teacher is present,  and doth call thee;' 
43N 011:029 she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to  him; 
43N 011:030 and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the  place where Martha met him; 
43N 011:031 the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and  were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly  and went forth, followed her, saying -- `She doth go away to  the tomb, that she may weep there.' 
43N 011:032 Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having  seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, `Sir, if thou hadst  been here, my brother had not died;' 
43N 011:033 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews  who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and  troubled himself, and he said, 
43N 011:034 `Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, `Sir, come and  see;' 
43N 011:035 Jesus wept. 
43N 011:036 The Jews, therefore, said, `Lo, how he was loving him!' 
43N 011:037 and certain of them said, `Was not this one, who did open  the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one  might not have died?' 
43N 011:038 Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the  tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it, 
43N 011:039 Jesus saith, `Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him  who hath died -- Martha -- saith to him, `Sir, already he  stinketh, for he is four days dead;' 
43N 011:040 Jesus saith to her, `Said I not to thee, that if thou  mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?' 
43N 011:041 They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was  laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, `Father, I  thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me; 
43N 011:042 and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of  the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may  believe that Thou didst send me.' 
43N 011:043 And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out,  `Lazarus, come forth;' 
43N 011:044 and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands  with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound  about; Jesus saith to them, `Loose him, and suffer to go.' 
43N 011:045 Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and  beheld what Jesus did, believed in him; 
43N 011:046 but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told  them what Jesus did; 
43N 011:047 the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered  together a sanhedrim, and said, `What may we do? because this  man doth many signs? 
43N 011:048 if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and  the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and  nation.' 
43N 011:049 and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of  that year, said to them, `Ye have not known anything, 
43N 011:050 nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for  the people, and not the whole nation perish.' 
43N 011:051 And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of  that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the  nation, 
43N 011:052 and not for the nation only, but that also the children of  God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together  into one. 
43N 011:053 From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that  they may kill him; 
43N 011:054 Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the  Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness,  to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his  disciples. 
43N 011:055 And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to  Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they  might purify themselves; 
43N 011:056 they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with  another, standing in the temple, `What doth appear to you --  that he may not come to the feast?' 
43N 011:057 and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a  command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew  [it], so that they may seize him. 
43N 012:001 Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to  Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out  of the dead; 
43N 012:002 they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was  ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together  (at meat) with him; 
43N 012:003 Mary, therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of  spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did  wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the  fragrance of the ointment. 
43N 012:004 Therefore saith one of his disciples -- Judas Iscariot, of  Simon, who is about to deliver him up -- 
43N 012:005 `Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred  denaries, and given to the poor?' 
43N 012:006 and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor,  but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things  were put in he was carrying. 
43N 012:007 Jesus, therefore, said, `Suffer her; for the day of my  embalming she hath kept it, 
43N 012:008 for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and me ye have  not always.' 
43N 012:009 A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is  there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that  Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead; 
43N 012:010 and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they  may kill, 
43N 012:011 because on account of him many of the Jews were going  away, and were believing in Jesus. 
43N 012:012 On the morrow, a great multitude that came to the feast,  having heard that Jesus doth come to Jerusalem, 
43N 012:013 took the branches of the palms, and went forth to meet  him, and were crying, `Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming  in the name of the Lord -- the king of Israel;' 
43N 012:014 and Jesus having found a young ass did sit upon it,  according as it is written, 
43N 012:015 `Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come,  sitting on an ass' colt.' 
43N 012:016 And these things his disciples did not know at the first,  but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these  things were having been written about him, and these things  they did to him. 
43N 012:017 The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were  testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did  raise him out of the dead; 
43N 012:018 because of this also did the multitude meet him, because  they heard of his having done this sign, 
43N 012:019 the Pharisees, therefore, said among themselves, `Ye see  that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.' 
43N 012:020 And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that  they may worship in the feast, 
43N 012:021 these then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of  Galilee, and were asking him, saying, `Sir, we wish to see  Jesus;' 
43N 012:022 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and again Andrew and  Philip tell Jesus. 
43N 012:023 And Jesus responded to them, saying, `The hour hath come  that the Son of Man may be glorified; 
43N 012:024 verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat,  having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth  alone; and if it may die, it doth bear much fruit; 
43N 012:025 he who is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is  hating his life in this world -- to life age-during shall keep  it; 
43N 012:026 if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and  where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one  may minister to me -- honour him will the Father. 
43N 012:027 `Now hath my soul been troubled, and what? shall I say --  Father, save me from this hour? -- but because of this I came  to this hour; 
43N 012:028 Father, glorify Thy name.' There came, therefore, a voice  out of the heaven, `I both glorified, and again I will glorify  [it];' 
43N 012:029 the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were  saying that there hath been thunder; others said, `A messenger  hath spoken to him.' 
43N 012:030 Jesus answered and said, `Not because of me hath this  voice come, but because of you; 
43N 012:031 now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of  this world be cast forth; 
43N 012:032 and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all  men unto myself.' 
43N 012:033 And this he said signifying by what death he was about to  die; 
43N 012:034 the multitude answered him, `We heard out of the law that  the Christ doth remain -- to the age; and how dost thou say,  That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this  -- the Son of Man?' 
43N 012:035 Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time is the  light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness  may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness  hath not known where he goeth; 
43N 012:036 while ye have the light, believe in the light, that sons  of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having  gone away, he was hid from them, 
43N 012:037 yet he having done so many signs before them, they were  not believing in him, 
43N 012:038 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled,  which he said, `Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the  arm of the Lord -- to whom was it revealed?' 
43N 012:039 Because of this they were not able to believe, that again  Isaiah said, 
43N 012:040 `He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart,  that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the  heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;' 
43N 012:041 these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake  of him. 
43N 012:042 Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in  him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing,  that they might not be put out of the synagogue, 
43N 012:043 for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of  God. 
43N 012:044 And Jesus cried and said, `He who is believing in me, doth  not believe in me, but in Him who sent me; 
43N 012:045 and he who is beholding me, doth behold Him who sent me; 
43N 012:046 I a light to the world have come, that every one who is  believing in me -- in the darkness may not remain; 
43N 012:047 and if any one may hear my sayings, and not believe, I --  I do not judge him, for I came not that I might judge the  world, but that I might save the world. 
43N 012:048 `He who is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings,  hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, that will  judge him in the last day, 
43N 012:049 because I spake not from myself, but the Father who sent  me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may  speak, 
43N 012:050 and I have known that His command is life age-during;  what, therefore, I speak, according as the Father hath said to  me, so I speak.' 
43N 013:001 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that  his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto  the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world -- to  the end he loved them. 
43N 013:002 And supper being come, the devil already having put [it]  into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may  deliver him up, 
43N 013:003 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him  -- into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto  God he goeth, 
43N 013:004 doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments,  and having taken a towel, he girded himself; 
43N 013:005 afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to  wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel  with which he was being girded. 
43N 013:006 He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith  to him, `Sir, thou -- dost thou wash my feet?' 
43N 013:007 Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast  not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;' 
43N 013:008 Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet -- to the  age.' Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast  no part with me;' 
43N 013:009 Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also  the hands and the head.' 
43N 013:010 Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need  save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are  clean, but not all;' 
43N 013:011 for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this  he said, `Ye are not all clean.' 
43N 013:012 When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his  garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, `Do  ye know what I have done to you? 
43N 013:013 ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for  I am; 
43N 013:014 if then I did wash your feet -- the Lord and the Teacher  -- ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 
43N 013:015 `For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to  you, ye also may do; 
43N 013:016 verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater  than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him; 
43N 013:017 if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do  them; 
43N 013:018 not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I  chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who  is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel. 
43N 013:019 `From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass,  that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he]; 
43N 013:020 verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving  whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving  me, doth receive Him who sent me.' 
43N 013:021 These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the  spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to  you, that one of you will deliver me up;' 
43N 013:022 the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another,  doubting concerning whom he speaketh. 
43N 013:023 And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in  the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving; 
43N 013:024 Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who  he may be concerning whom he speaketh, 
43N 013:025 and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus,  respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?' 
43N 013:026 Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped  the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he  giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot. 
43N 013:027 And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that  one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost -- do  quickly;' 
43N 013:028 and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent  he said this to him, 
43N 013:029 for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that  Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;'  or that he may give something to the poor; 
43N 013:030 having received, therefore, the morsel, that one  immediately went forth, and it was night. 
43N 013:031 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the  Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him; 
43N 013:032 if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in  Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him. 
43N 013:033 `Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek  me, and, according as I said to the Jews -- Whither I go away,  ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now. 
43N 013:034 `A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one  another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one  another; 
43N 013:035 in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may  have love one to another.' 
43N 013:036 Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go  away?' Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not  able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.' 
43N 013:037 Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to  follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;' 
43N 013:038 Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down!  verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou  mayest deny me thrice.' 
43N 014:001 `Let not your heart be troubled, believe in God, also in me  believe; 
43N 014:002 in the house of my Father are many mansions; and if not, I  would have told you; I go on to prepare a place for you; 
43N 014:003 and if I go on and prepare for you a place, again do I  come, and will receive you unto myself, that where I am ye  also may be; 
43N 014:004 and whither I go away ye have known, and the way ye have  known.' 
43N 014:005 Thomas saith to him, `Sir, we have not known whither thou  goest away, and how are we able to know the way?' 
43N 014:006 Jesus saith to him, `I am the way, and the truth, and the  life, no one doth come unto the Father, if not through me; 
43N 014:007 if ye had known me, my Father also ye would have known, and  from this time ye have known Him, and have seen Him.' 
43N 014:008 Philip saith to him, `Sir, shew to us the Father, and it is  enough for us;' 
43N 014:009 Jesus saith to him, `So long time am I with you, and thou  hast not known me, Philip? he who hath seen me hath seen the  Father; and how dost thou say, Shew to us the Father? 
43N 014:010 Believest thou not that I [am] in the Father, and the  Father is in me? the sayings that I speak to you, from myself I  speak not, and the Father who is abiding in me, Himself doth  the works; 
43N 014:011 believe me, that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in  me; and if not, because of the works themselves, believe me. 
43N 014:012 `Verily, verily, I say to you, he who is believing in me,  the works that I do -- that one also shall do, and greater  than these he shall do, because I go on to my Father; 
43N 014:013 and whatever ye may ask in my name, I will do, that the  Father may be glorified in the Son; 
43N 014:014 if ye ask anything in my name I will do [it]. 
43N 014:015 `If ye love me, my commands keep, 
43N 014:016 and I will ask the Father, and another Comforter He will  give to you, that he may remain with you -- to the age; 
43N 014:017 the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to  receive, because it doth not behold him, nor know him, and ye  know him, because he doth remain with you, and shall be in  you. 
43N 014:018 `I will not leave you bereaved, I come unto you; 
43N 014:019 yet a little, and the world doth no more behold me, and ye  behold me, because I live, and ye shall live; 
43N 014:020 in that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye  in me, and I in you; 
43N 014:021 he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that  one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be  loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest  myself to him.' 
43N 014:022 Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath  come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself,  and not to the world?' 
43N 014:023 Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me,  my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him  we will come, and abode with him we will make; 
43N 014:024 he who is not loving me, my words doth not keep; and the  word that ye hear is not mine, but the Father's who sent me. 
43N 014:025 `These things I have spoken to you, remaining with you, 
43N 014:026 and the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will  send in my name, he will teach you all things, and remind you  of all things that I said to you. 
43N 014:027 `Peace I leave to you; my peace I give to you, not  according as the world doth give do I give to you; let not your  heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid; 
43N 014:028 ye heard that I said to you -- I go away, and I come unto  you; if ye did love me, ye would have rejoiced that I said -- I  go on to the Father, because my Father is greater than I. 
43N 014:029 `And now I have said [it] to you before it come to pass,  that when it may come to pass, ye may believe; 
43N 014:030 I will no more talk much with you, for the ruler of this  world doth come, and in me he hath nothing; 
43N 014:031 but that the world may know that I love the Father, and  according as the Father gave me command so I do; arise, we may  go hence. 
43N 015:001 `I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman; 
43N 015:002 every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away,  and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it,  that it may bear more fruit; 
43N 015:003 already ye are clean, because of the word that I have  spoken to you; 
43N 015:004 remain in me, and I in you, as the branch is not able to  bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so  neither ye, if ye may not remain in me. 
43N 015:005 `I am the vine, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me,  and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from  me ye are not able to do anything; 
43N 015:006 if any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without  as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and  cast to fire, and they are burned; 
43N 015:007 if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain,  whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to  you. 
43N 015:008 `In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much  fruit, and ye shall become my disciples. 
43N 015:009 According as the Father did love me, I also loved you,  remain in my love; 
43N 015:010 if my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my  love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and  do remain in His love; 
43N 015:011 these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may  remain, and your joy may be full. 
43N 015:012 `This is my command, that ye love one another, according  as I did love you; 
43N 015:013 greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life  may lay down for his friends; 
43N 015:014 ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you; 
43N 015:015 no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath  not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends,  because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make  known to you. 
43N 015:016 `Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did  appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and  your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father  in my name, He may give you. 
43N 015:017 `These things I command you, that ye love one another; 
43N 015:018 if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me  before you; 
43N 015:019 if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been  loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out  of the world -- because of this the world hateth you. 
43N 015:020 `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not  greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they  will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will  keep; 
43N 015:021 but all these things will they do to you, because of my  name, because they have not known Him who sent me; 
43N 015:022 if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having  sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin. 
43N 015:023 `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father; 
43N 015:024 if I did not do among them the works that no other hath  done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen  and hated both me and my Father; 
43N 015:025 but -- that the word may be fulfilled that was written in  their law -- They hated me without a cause. 
43N 015:026 `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you  from the Father -- the Spirit of truth, who from the Father  doth come forth, he will testify of me; 
43N 015:027 and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are  with me. 
43N 016:001 `These things I have spoken to you, that ye may not be  stumbled, 
43N 016:002 out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth  come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer  service unto God; 
43N 016:003 and these things they will do to you, because they did not  know the Father, nor me. 
43N 016:004 `But these things I have spoken to you, that when the hour  may come, ye may remember them, that I said [them] to you, and  these things to you from the beginning I did not say, because  I was with you; 
43N 016:005 and now I go away to Him who sent me, and none of you doth  ask me, Whither dost thou go? 
43N 016:006 but because these things I have said to you, the sorrow  hath filled your heart. 
43N 016:007 `But I tell you the truth; it is better for you that I go  away, for if I may not go away, the Comforter will not come  unto you, and if I go on, I will send Him unto you; 
43N 016:008 and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin,  and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment; 
43N 016:009 concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in me; 
43N 016:010 and concerning righteousness, because unto my Father I go  away, and no more do ye behold me; 
43N 016:011 and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world  hath been judged. 
43N 016:012 `I have yet many things to say to you, but ye are not able  to bear [them] now; 
43N 016:013 and when He may come -- the Spirit of truth -- He will  guide you to all the truth, for He will not speak from  Himself, but as many things as He will hear He will speak, and  the coming things He will tell you; 
43N 016:014 He will glorify me, because of mine He will take, and will  tell to you. 
43N 016:015 `All things, as many as the Father hath, are mine; because  of this I said, That of mine He will take, and will tell to  you; 
43N 016:016 a little while, and ye do not behold me, and again a  little while, and ye shall see me, because I go away unto the  Father.' 
43N 016:017 Therefore said [some] of his disciples one to another,  `What is this that he saith 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 unto the Father?' 
43N 016:018 they said then, `What is this he saith -- the little  while? we have not known what he saith.' 
43N 016:019 Jesus, therefore, knew that they were wishing to ask him,  and he said to them, `Concerning this do ye seek one with  another, because I said, A little while, and you do not behold  me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me? 
43N 016:020 verily, verily, I say to you, that ye shall weep and  lament, and the world will rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful,  but your sorrow joy will become. 
43N 016:021 `The woman, when she may bear, hath sorrow, because her  hour did come, and when she may bear the child, no more doth  she remember the anguish, because of the joy that a man was  born to the world. 
43N 016:022 `And ye, therefore, now, indeed, have sorrow; and again I  will see you, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one  doth take from you, 
43N 016:023 and in that day ye will question me nothing; verily,  verily, I say to you, as many things as ye may ask of the  Father in my name, He will give you; 
43N 016:024 till now ye did ask nothing in my name; ask, and ye shall  receive, that your joy may be full. 
43N 016:025 `These things in similitudes I have spoken to you, but  there cometh an hour when no more in similitudes will I speak  to you, but freely of the Father, will tell you. 
43N 016:026 `In that day, in my name ye will make request, and I do  not say to you that I will ask the Father for you, 
43N 016:027 for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have  loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth; 
43N 016:028 I came forth from the Father, and have come to the world;  again I leave the world, and go on unto the Father.' 
43N 016:029 His disciples say to him, `Lo, now freely thou dost speak,  and no similitude speakest thou; 
43N 016:030 now we have known that thou hast known all things, and  hast no need that any one do question thee; in this we believe  that from God thou didst come forth.' 
43N 016:031 Jesus answered them, `Now do ye believe? lo, there doth  come an hour, 
43N 016:032 and now it hath come, that ye may be scattered, each to  his own things, and me ye may leave alone, and I am not alone,  because the Father is with me; 
43N 016:033 these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have  peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage  -- I have overcome the world.' 
43N 017:001 These things spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to the  heaven, and said -- `Father, the hour hath come, glorify Thy  Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee, 
43N 017:002 according as Thou didst give to him authority over all  flesh, that -- all that Thou hast given to him -- he may give  to them life age-during; 
43N 017:003 and this is the life age-during, that they may know Thee,  the only true God, and him whom Thou didst send -- Jesus  Christ; 
43N 017:004 I did glorify Thee on the earth, the work I did finish that  Thou hast given me, that I may do [it]. 
43N 017:005 `And now, glorify me, Thou Father, with Thyself, with the  glory that I had before the world was, with Thee; 
43N 017:006 I did manifest Thy name to the men whom Thou hast given to  me out of the world; Thine they were, and to me Thou hast given  them, and Thy word they have kept; 
43N 017:007 now they have known that all things, as many as Thou hast  given to me, are from Thee, 
43N 017:008 because the sayings that Thou hast given to me, I have  given to them, and they themselves received, and have known  truly, that from Thee I came forth, and they did believe that  Thou didst send me. 
43N 017:009 `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I  ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because  Thine they are, 
43N 017:010 and all mine are Thine, and Thine [are] mine, and I have  been glorified in them; 
43N 017:011 and no more am I in the world, and these are in the world,  and I come unto Thee. Holy Father, keep them in Thy name, whom  Thou hast given to me, that they may be one as we; 
43N 017:012 when I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in  Thy name; those whom Thou hast given to me I did guard, and  none of them was destroyed, except the son of the destruction,  that the Writing may be fulfilled. 
43N 017:013 `And now unto Thee I come, and these things I speak in the  world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves; 
43N 017:014 I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate  them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the  world; 
43N 017:015 I do not ask that Thou mayest take them out of the world,  but that Thou mayest keep them out of the evil. 
43N 017:016 `Of the world they are not, as I of the world am not; 
43N 017:017 sanctify them in Thy truth, Thy word is truth; 
43N 017:018 as Thou didst send me to the world, I also did send them  to the world; 
43N 017:019 and for them do I sanctify myself, that they also  themselves may be sanctified in truth. 
43N 017:020 `And not in regard to these alone do I ask, but also in  regard to those who shall be believing, through their word, in  me; 
43N 017:021 that they all may be one, as Thou Father [art] in me, and  I in Thee; that they also in us may be one, that the world may  believe that Thou didst send me. 
43N 017:022 `And I, the glory that thou hast given to me, have given  to them, that they may be one as we are one; 
43N 017:023 I in them, and Thou in me, that they may be perfected into  one, and that the world may know that Thou didst send me, and  didst love them as Thou didst love me. 
43N 017:024 `Father, those whom Thou hast given to me, I will that  where I am they also may be with me, that they may behold my  glory that Thou didst give to me, because Thou didst love me  before the foundation of the world. 
43N 017:025 `Righteous Father, also the world did not know Thee, and I  knew Thee, and these have known that Thou didst send me, 
43N 017:026 and I made known to them Thy name, and will make known,  that the love with which Thou lovedst me in them may be, and I  in them.' 
43N 018:001 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his  disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into  which he entered, himself and his disciples, 
43N 018:002 and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place,  because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples. 
43N 018:003 Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of  the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches  and lamps, and weapons; 
43N 018:004 Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon  him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?' 
43N 018:005 they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to  them, `I am [he];' -- and Judas who delivered him up was  standing with them; -- 
43N 018:006 when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am [he],' they went  away backward, and fell to the ground. 
43N 018:007 Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?'  and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;' 
43N 018:008 Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me  ye seek, suffer these to go away;' 
43N 018:009 that the word might be fulfilled that he said -- `Those  whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.' 
43N 018:010 Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and  struck the chief priest's servant, and cut off his right ear --  and the name of the servant was Malchus -- 
43N 018:011 Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the  sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not  drink it?' 
43N 018:012 The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of  the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him, 
43N 018:013 and they led him away to Annas first, for he was  father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year, 
43N 018:014 and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it  is good for one man to perish for the people. 
43N 018:015 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other  disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and  he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest, 
43N 018:016 and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went  forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and  he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in  Peter. 
43N 018:017 Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou  also of the disciples of this man?' he saith, `I am not;' 
43N 018:018 and the servants and the officers were standing, having  made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were  warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and  warming himself. 
43N 018:019 The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning  his disciples, and concerning his teaching; 
43N 018:020 Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did  always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews  do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing; 
43N 018:021 why me dost thou question? question those having heard  what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.' 
43N 018:022 And he having said these things, one of the officers  standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou  answer the chief priest?' 
43N 018:023 Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning  the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?' 
43N 018:024 Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest. 
43N 018:025 And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they  said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?' he denied,  and said, `I am not.' 
43N 018:026 One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of  him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the  garden with him?' 
43N 018:027 again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock  crew. 
43N 018:028 They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the  praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter  into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that  they might eat the passover; 
43N 018:029 Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What  accusation do ye bring against this man?' 
43N 018:030 they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil  doer, we had not delivered him to thee.' 
43N 018:031 Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him -- ye -- and  according to your law judge him;' the Jews, therefore, said to  him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;' 
43N 018:032 that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said,  signifying by what death he was about to die. 
43N 018:033 Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and  called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the  Jews?' 
43N 018:034 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or  did others say it to thee about me?' 
43N 018:035 Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief  priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?' 
43N 018:036 Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my  kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I  might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not  from hence.' 
43N 018:037 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?'  Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for  this have been born, and for this I have come to the world,  that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth,  doth hear my voice.' 
43N 018:038 Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?' and this having  said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I  do find no fault in him; 
43N 018:039 and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in  the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to  you the king of the Jews?' 
43N 018:040 therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one  -- but Barabbas;' and Barabbas was a robber. 
43N 019:001 Then, therefore, did Pilate take Jesus and scourge [him], 
43N 019:002 and the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns, did  place [it] on his head, and a purple garment they put around  him, 
43N 019:003 and said, `Hail! the king of the Jews;' and they were  giving him slaps. 
43N 019:004 Pilate, therefore, again went forth without, and saith to  them, `Lo, I do bring him to you without, that ye may know  that in him I find no fault;' 
43N 019:005 Jesus, therefore, came forth without, bearing the thorny  crown and the purple garment; and he saith to them, `Lo, the  man!' 
43N 019:006 When, therefore, the chief priests and the officers did see  him, they cried out, saying, `Crucify, crucify;' Pilate saith  to them, `Take ye him -- ye, and crucify; for I find no fault  in him;' 
43N 019:007 the Jews answered him, `We have a law, and according to our  law he ought to die, for he made himself Son of God.' 
43N 019:008 When, therefore, Pilate heard this word, he was the more  afraid, 
43N 019:009 and entered again to the praetorium, and saith to Jesus,  `Whence art thou?' and Jesus gave him no answer. 
43N 019:010 Pilate, therefore, saith to him, `To me dost thou not  speak? hast thou not known that I have authority to crucify  thee, and I have authority to release thee?' 
43N 019:011 Jesus answered, `Thou wouldst have no authority against  me, if it were not having been given thee from above; because  of this, he who is delivering me up to thee hath greater sin.' 
43N 019:012 From this [time] was Pilate seeking to release him, and  the Jews were crying out, saying, `If this one thou mayest  release, thou art not a friend of Caesar; every one making  himself a king, doth speak against Caesar.' 
43N 019:013 Pilate, therefore, having heard this word, brought Jesus  without -- and he sat down upon the tribunal -- to a place  called, `Pavement,' and in Hebrew, Gabbatha; 
43N 019:014 and it was the preparation of the passover, and as it were  the sixth hour, and he saith to the Jews, `Lo, your king!' 
43N 019:015 and they cried out, `Take away, take away, crucify him;'  Pilate saith to them, `Your king shall I crucify?' the chief  priests answered, `We have no king except Caesar.' 
43N 019:016 Then, therefore, he delivered him up to them, that he may  be crucified, and they took Jesus and led [him] away, 
43N 019:017 and bearing his cross, he went forth to the place called  [Place] of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha; 
43N 019:018 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on this  side, and on that side, and Jesus in the midst. 
43N 019:019 And Pilate also wrote a title, and put [it] on the cross,  and it was written, `Jesus the Nazarene, the king of the Jews;' 
43N 019:020 this title, therefore, read many of the Jews, because the  place was nigh to the city where Jesus was crucified, and it  was having been written in Hebrew, in Greek, in Roman. 
43N 019:021 The chief priests of the Jews said, therefore, to Pilate,  `Write not -- The king of the Jews, but that one said, I am  king of the Jews;' 
43N 019:022 Pilate answered, `What I have written, I have written.' 
43N 019:023 The soldiers, therefore, when they did crucify Jesus, took  his garments, and made four parts, to each soldier a part, also  the coat, and the coat was seamless, from the top woven  throughout, 
43N 019:024 they said, therefore, to one another, `We may not rend it,  but cast a lot for it, whose it shall be;' that the Writing  might be fulfilled, that is saying, `They divided my garments  to themselves, and upon my raiment they did cast a lot;' the  soldiers, therefore, indeed, did these things. 
43N 019:025 And there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his  mother's sister, Mary of Cleopas, and Mary the Magdalene; 
43N 019:026 Jesus, therefore, having seen [his] mother, and the  disciple standing by, whom he was loving, he saith to his  mother, `Woman, lo, thy son;' 
43N 019:027 afterward he saith to the disciple, `Lo, thy mother;' and  from that hour the disciple took her to his own [home]. 
43N 019:028 After this, Jesus knowing that all things now have been  finished, that the Writing may be fulfilled, saith, `I thirst;' 
43N 019:029 a vessel, therefore, was placed full of vinegar, and they  having filled a sponge with vinegar, and having put [it] around  a hyssop stalk, did put [it] to his mouth; 
43N 019:030 when, therefore, Jesus received the vinegar, he said, `It  hath been finished;' and having bowed the head, gave up the  spirit. 
43N 019:031 The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on  the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for  that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their  legs may be broken, and they taken away. 
43N 019:032 The soldiers, therefore, came, and of the first indeed  they did break the legs, and of the other who was crucified  with him, 
43N 019:033 and having come to Jesus, when they saw him already having  been dead, they did not break his legs; 
43N 019:034 but one of the soldiers with a spear did pierce his side,  and immediately there came forth blood and water; 
43N 019:035 and he who hath seen hath testified, and his testimony is  true, and that one hath known that true things he speaketh,  that ye also may believe. 
43N 019:036 For these things came to pass, that the Writing may be  fulfilled, `A bone of him shall not be broken;' 
43N 019:037 and again another Writing saith, `They shall look to him  whom they did pierce.' 
43N 019:038 And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a  disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews  -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and  Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body  of Jesus, 
43N 019:039 and Nicodemus also came -- who came unto Jesus by night at  the first -- bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, as it were,  a hundred pounds. 
43N 019:040 They took, therefore, the body of Jesus, and bound it with  linen clothes with the spices, according as it was the custom  of the Jews to prepare for burial; 
43N 019:041 and there was in the place where he was crucified a  garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one was yet  laid; 
43N 019:042 there, therefore, because of the preparation of the Jews,  because the tomb was nigh, they laid Jesus. 
43N 020:001 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth  come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she  seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb, 
43N 020:002 she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and  unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to  them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not  known where they laid him.' 
43N 020:003 Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and  they were coming to the tomb, 
43N 020:004 and the two were running together, and the other disciple  did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the  tomb, 
43N 020:005 and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying,  yet, indeed, he entered not. 
43N 020:006 Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he  entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, 
43N 020:007 and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the  linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; 
43N 020:008 then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came  first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; 
43N 020:009 for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him  out of the dead to rise again. 
43N 020:010 The disciples therefore went away again unto their own  friends, 
43N 020:011 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as  she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and  beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting, 
43N 020:012 one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of  Jesus had been laid. 
43N 020:013 And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?' she  saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not  known where they laid him;' 
43N 020:014 and these things having said, she turned backward, and  seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus. 
43N 020:015 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost  thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to  him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou  didst lay him, and I will take him away;' 
43N 020:016 Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to  him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.' 
43N 020:017 Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not  yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren,  and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and  to my God, and to your God.' 
43N 020:018 Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that  she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her. 
43N 020:019 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of  the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the  disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came  and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;' 
43N 020:020 and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side;  the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord. 
43N 020:021 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you;  according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;' 
43N 020:022 and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to  them, `Receive the Holy Spirit; 
43N 020:023 if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them;  if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.' 
43N 020:024 And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was  not with them when Jesus came; 
43N 020:025 the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen  the Lord;' and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands  the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the  nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.' 
43N 020:026 And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and  Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and  he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!' 
43N 020:027 then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see  my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and  become not unbelieving, but believing.' 
43N 020:028 And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;' 
43N 020:029 Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas,  thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having  believed.' 
43N 020:030 Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before  his disciples, that are not written in this book; 
43N 020:031 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus  is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have  life in his name.' 
43N 021:001 After these things did Jesus manifest himself again to the  disciples on the sea of Tiberias, and he did manifest himself  thus: 
43N 021:002 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas who is called  Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of  Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 
43N 021:003 Simon Peter saith to them, `I go away to fish;' they say to  him, `We go -- we also -- with thee;' they went forth and  entered into the boat immediately, and on that night they  caught nothing. 
43N 021:004 And morning being now come, Jesus stood at the shore, yet  indeed the disciples did not know that it is Jesus; 
43N 021:005 Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `Lads, have ye any meat?' 
43N 021:006 they answered him, `No;' and he said to them, `Cast the net  at the right side of the boat, and ye shall find;' they cast,  therefore, and no longer were they able to draw it, from the  multitude of the fishes. 
43N 021:007 That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus was loving saith to  Peter, `The Lord it is!' Simon Peter, therefore, having heard  that it is the Lord, did gird on the outer coat, (for he was  naked,) and did cast himself into the sea; 
43N 021:008 and the other disciples came by the little boat, for they  were not far from the land, but as it were about two hundred  cubits off, dragging the net of the fishes; 
43N 021:009 when, therefore, they came to the land, they behold a fire  of coals lying, and a fish lying on it, and bread. 
43N 021:010 Jesus saith to them, `Bring ye from the fishes that ye  caught now;' 
43N 021:011 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net up on the land, full  of great fishes, an hundred fifty and three, and though they  were so many, the net was not rent. 
43N 021:012 Jesus saith to them, `Come ye, dine;' and none of the  disciples was venturing to inquire of him, `Who art thou?'  knowing that it is the Lord; 
43N 021:013 Jesus, therefore, doth come and take the bread and give to  them, and the fish in like manner; 
43N 021:014 this [is] now a third time Jesus was manifested to his  disciples, having been raised from the dead. 
43N 021:015 When, therefore, they dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,  `Simon, [son] of Jonas, dost thou love me more than these?' he  saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou hast known that I dearly love  thee;' he saith to him, `Feed my lambs.' 
43N 021:016 He saith to him again, a second time, `Simon, [son] of  Jonas, dost thou love me?' he saith to him, `Yes, Lord; thou  hast known that I dearly love thee;' he saith to him, `Tend my  sheep.' 
43N 021:017 He saith to him the third time, `Simon, [son] of Jonas,  dost thou dearly love me?' Peter was grieved that he said to  him the third time, `Dost thou dearly love me?' and he said to  him, `Lord, thou hast known all things; thou dost know that I  dearly love thee.' Jesus saith to him, `Feed my sheep; 
43N 021:018 verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast younger,  thou wast girding thyself and wast walking whither thou didst  will, but when thou mayest be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy  hands, and another will gird thee, and shall carry [thee]  whither thou dost not will;' 
43N 021:019 and this he said, signifying by what death he shall  glorify God; and having said this, he saith to him, `Be  following me.' 
43N 021:020 And Peter having turned about doth see the disciple whom  Jesus was loving following, (who also reclined in the supper on  his breast, and said, `Sir, who is he who is delivering thee  up?') 
43N 021:021 Peter having seen this one, saith to Jesus, `Lord, and  what of this one?' 
43N 021:022 Jesus saith to him, `If him I will to remain till I come,  what -- to thee? be thou following me.' This word, therefore,  went forth to the brethren that that disciple doth not die, 
43N 021:023 yet Jesus did not say to him, that he doth not die, but,  `If him I will to remain till I come, what -- to thee?' 
43N 021:024 this is the disciple who is testifying concerning these  things, and he wrote these things, and we have known that his  testimony is true. 
43N 021:025 And there are also many other things -- as many as Jesus  did -- which, if they may be written one by one, not even the  world itself I think to have place for the books written.  Amen.  
44N 001:001 The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O  Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach, 
44N 001:002 till the day in which, having given command, through the  Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was  taken up, 
44N 001:003 to whom also he did present himself alive after his  suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being  seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of  God. 
44N 001:004 And being assembled together with them, he commanded them  not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of  the Father, which, [saith he,] `Ye did hear of me; 
44N 001:005 because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be  baptized with the Holy Spirit -- after not many days.' 
44N 001:006 They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were  questioning him, saying, `Lord, dost thou at this time restore  the reign to Israel?' 
44N 001:007 and he said unto them, `It is not yours to know times or  seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority; 
44N 001:008 but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit  upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem,  and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.' 
44N 001:009 And these things having said -- they beholding -- he was  taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight; 
44N 001:010 and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his  going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel, 
44N 001:011 who also said, `Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into  the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the  heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to  the heaven.' 
44N 001:012 Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is  called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey; 
44N 001:013 and when they came in, they went up to the upper room,  where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,  Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of  Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James; 
44N 001:014 these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and  supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and  with his brethren. 
44N 001:015 And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of  the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the  same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty,) 
44N 001:016 `Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be  fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the  mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who  took Jesus, 
44N 001:017 because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share  in this ministration, 
44N 001:018 this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward  of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the  midst, and all his bowels gushed forth, 
44N 001:019 and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem,  insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect,  Aceldama, that is, field of blood, 
44N 001:020 for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his  lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in  it, and his oversight let another take. 
44N 001:021 `It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us  during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went  out among us, 
44N 001:022 beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which  he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a  witness of his rising again.' 
44N 001:023 And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed  Justus, and Matthias, 
44N 001:024 and having prayed, they said, `Thou, Lord, who art knowing  the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two 
44N 001:025 to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship,  from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his  proper place;' 
44N 001:026 and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias,  and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. 
44N 002:001 And in the day of the Pentecost being fulfilled, they were  all with one accord at the same place, 
44N 002:002 and there came suddenly out of the heaven a sound as of a  bearing violent breath, and it filled all the house where they  were sitting, 
44N 002:003 and there appeared to them divided tongues, as it were of  fire; it sat also upon each one of them, 
44N 002:004 and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to  speak with other tongues, according as the Spirit was giving  them to declare. 
44N 002:005 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from  every nation of those under the heaven, 
44N 002:006 and the rumour of this having come, the multitude came  together, and was confounded, because they were each one  hearing them speaking in his proper dialect, 
44N 002:007 and they were all amazed, and did wonder, saying one unto  another, `Lo, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 
44N 002:008 and how do we hear, each in our proper dialect, in which we  were born? 
44N 002:009 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and those dwelling in  Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia, Pontus, and Asia, 
44N 002:010 Phrygia also, and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the parts of Libya,  that [are] along Cyrene, and the strangers of Rome, both Jews  and proselytes, 
44N 002:011 Cretes and Arabians, we did hear them speaking in our  tongues the great things of God.' 
44N 002:012 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one  unto another, `What would this wish to be?' 
44N 002:013 and others mocking said, -- `They are full of sweet wine;' 
44N 002:014 and Peter having stood up with the eleven, lifted up his  voice and declared to them, `Men, Jews! and all those dwelling  in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and harken to my  sayings, 
44N 002:015 for these are not drunken, as ye take it up, for it is the  third hour of the day. 
44N 002:016 `But this is that which hath been spoken through the  prophet Joel: 
44N 002:017 And it shall be in the last days, saith God, 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 old men shall dream dreams; 
44N 002:018 and also upon My men-servants, and upon My maid-servants,  in those days, I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall  prophesy; 
44N 002:019 and I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs upon  the earth beneath -- blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke, 
44N 002:020 the sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood,  before the coming of the day of the Lord -- the great and  illustrious; 
44N 002:021 and it shall be, every one -- whoever shall call upon the  name of the Lord, he shall be saved. 
44N 002:022 `Men, Israelites! hear these words, Jesus the Nazarene, a  man approved of God among you by mighty works, and wonders, and  signs, that God did through him in the midst of you, according  as also ye yourselves have known; 
44N 002:023 this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of  God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having  crucified -- ye did slay; 
44N 002:024 whom God did raise up, having loosed the pains of the  death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it, 
44N 002:025 for David saith in regard to him: I foresaw the Lord always  before me -- because He is on my right hand -- that I may not  be moved; 
44N 002:026 because of this was my heart cheered, and my tongue was  glad, and yet -- my flesh also shall rest on hope, 
44N 002:027 because Thou wilt not leave my soul to hades, nor wilt Thou  give Thy Kind One to see corruption; 
44N 002:028 Thou didst make known to me ways of life, Thou shalt fill  me with joy with Thy countenance. 
44N 002:029 `Men, brethren! it is permitted to speak with freedom unto  you concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was  buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day; 
44N 002:030 a prophet, therefore, being, and knowing that with an oath  God did swear to him, out of the fruit of his loins, according  to the flesh, to raise up the Christ, to sit upon his throne, 
44N 002:031 having foreseen, he did speak concerning the rising again  of the Christ, that his soul was not left to hades, nor did  his flesh see corruption. 
44N 002:032 `This Jesus did God raise up, of which we are all  witnesses; 
44N 002:033 at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also  the promise of the Holy Spirit having received from the Father  -- he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear; 
44N 002:034 for David did not go up to the heavens, and he saith  himself: The Lord saith to my lord, Sit thou at my right hand, 
44N 002:035 till I make thy foes thy footstool; 
44N 002:036 assuredly, therefore, let all the house of Israel know,  that both Lord and Christ did God make him -- this Jesus whom  ye did crucify.' 
44N 002:037 And having heard, they were pricked to the heart; they say  also to Peter, and to the rest of the apostles, `What shall we  do, men, brethren?' 
44N 002:038 and Peter said unto them, `Reform, and be baptized each of  you on the name of Jesus Christ, to remission of sins, and ye  shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, 
44N 002:039 for to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all  those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call.' 
44N 002:040 Also with many more other words he was testifying and  exhorting, saying, `Be saved from this perverse generation;' 
44N 002:041 then those, indeed, who did gladly receive his word were  baptized, and there were added on that day, as it were, three  thousand souls, 
44N 002:042 and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the  apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread,  and the prayers. 
44N 002:043 And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs  were being done through the apostles, 
44N 002:044 and all those believing were at the same place, and had all  things common, 
44N 002:045 and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and  were parting them to all, according as any one had need. 
44N 002:046 Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple,  breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food  in gladness and simplicity of heart, 
44N 002:047 praising God, and having favour with all the people, and  the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the  assembly. 
44N 003:001 And Peter and John were going up at the same time to the  temple, at the hour of the prayer, the ninth [hour], 
44N 003:002 and a certain man, being lame from the womb of his mother,  was being carried, whom they were laying every day at the gate  of the temple, called Beautiful, to ask a kindness from those  entering into the temple, 
44N 003:003 who, having seen Peter and John about to go into the temple,  was begging to receive a kindness. 
44N 003:004 And Peter, having looked stedfastly toward him with John,  said, `Look toward us;' 
44N 003:005 and he was giving heed to them, looking to receive something  from them; 
44N 003:006 and Peter said, `Silver and gold I have none, but what I  have, that I give to thee; in the name of Jesus Christ of  Nazareth, rise up and be walking.' 
44N 003:007 And having seized him by the right hand, he raised [him] up,  and presently his feet and ankles were strengthened, 
44N 003:008 and springing up, he stood, and was walking, and did enter  with them into the temple, walking and springing, and praising  God; 
44N 003:009 and all the people saw him walking and praising God, 
44N 003:010 they were knowing him also that this it was who for a  kindness was sitting at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and  they were filled with wonder and amazement at what hath  happened to him. 
44N 003:011 And at the lame man who was healed holding Peter and John,  all the people ran together unto them in the porch called  Solomon's -- greatly amazed, 
44N 003:012 and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, `Men,  Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so  earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to  walk? 
44N 003:013 `The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of  our fathers, did glorify His child Jesus, whom ye delivered up,  and denied him in the presence of Pilate, he having given  judgment to release [him], 
44N 003:014 and ye the Holy and Righteous One did deny, and desired a  man -- a murderer -- to be granted to you, 
44N 003:015 and the Prince of the life ye did kill, whom God did raise  out of the dead, of which we are witnesses; 
44N 003:016 and on the faith of his name, this one whom ye see and have  known, his name made strong, even the faith that [is] through  him did give to him this perfect soundness before you all. 
44N 003:017 `And now, brethren, I have known that through ignorance ye  did [it], as also your rulers; 
44N 003:018 and God, what things before He had declared through the  mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ should suffer, He  did thus fulfil; 
44N 003:019 reform ye, therefore, and turn back, for your sins being  blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the  presence of the Lord, 
44N 003:020 and He may send Jesus Christ who before hath been preached  to you, 
44N 003:021 whom it behoveth heaven, indeed, to receive till times of a  restitution of all things, of which God spake through the mouth  of all His holy prophets from the age. 
44N 003:022 `For Moses, indeed, unto the fathers said -- A prophet to  you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your brethren, like  to me; him shall ye hear in all things, as many as he may speak  unto you; 
44N 003:023 and it shall be, every soul that may not hear that prophet  shall be utterly destroyed out of the people; 
44N 003:024 and also all the prophets from Samuel and those following  in order, as many as spake, did also foretell of these days. 
44N 003:025 `Ye are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant that God  made unto our fathers, saying unto Abraham: And in thy seed  shall be blessed all the families of the earth; 
44N 003:026 to you first, God, having raised up His child Jesus, did  send him, blessing you, in the turning away of each one from  your evil ways.' 
44N 004:001 And as they are speaking unto the people, there came to them  the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the  Sadducees -- 
44N 004:002 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and  preaching in Jesus the rising again out of the dead -- 
44N 004:003 and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody  unto the morrow, for it was evening already; 
44N 004:004 and many of those hearing the word did believe, and the  number of the men became, as it were, five thousand. 
44N 004:005 And it came to pass upon the morrow, there were gathered  together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to  Jerusalem, 
44N 004:006 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and  Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the chief  priest, 
44N 004:007 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, `In  what power, or in what name did ye do this?' 
44N 004:008 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said  unto them: `Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 
44N 004:009 if we to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the  ailing man, by whom he hath been saved, 
44N 004:010 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel,  that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye did  crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath this  one stood by before you whole. 
44N 004:011 `This is the stone that was set at nought by you -- the  builders, that became head of a corner; 
44N 004:012 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no  other name under the heaven that hath been given among men, in  which it behoveth us to be saved.' 
44N 004:013 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having  perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were  wondering -- they were taking knowledge also of them that with  Jesus they had been -- 
44N 004:014 and seeing the man standing with them who hath been healed,  they had nothing to say against [it], 
44N 004:015 and having commanded them to go away out of the sanhedrim,  they took counsel with one another, 
44N 004:016 saying, `What shall we do to these men? because that,  indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all  those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, and we are not able  to deny [it]; 
44N 004:017 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us  strictly threaten them no more to speak in this name to any  man.' 
44N 004:018 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at  all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus, 
44N 004:019 and Peter and John answering unto them said, `Whether it is  righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God,  judge ye; 
44N 004:020 for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.' 
44N 004:021 And they having further threatened [them], let them go,  finding nothing how they may punish them, because of the  people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath  been done, 
44N 004:022 for above forty years of age was the man upon whom had been  done this sign of the healing. 
44N 004:023 And being let go, they went unto their own friends, and  declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto  them, 
44N 004:024 and they having heard, with one accord did lift up the  voice unto God, and said, `Lord, thou [art] God, who didst  make the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that  [are] in them, 
44N 004:025 who, through the mouth of David thy servant, did say, Why  did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things? 
44N 004:026 the kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were  gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ; 
44N 004:027 for gathered together of a truth against Thy holy child  Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, were both Herod and Pontius  Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel, 
44N 004:028 to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine  before to come to pass. 
44N 004:029 `And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to  Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word, 
44N 004:030 in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and  signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy  holy child Jesus.' 
44N 004:031 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they  were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy  Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom, 
44N 004:032 and of the multitude of those who did believe the heart and  the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the  things he had was his own, but all things were to them in  common. 
44N 004:033 And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony  to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on  them all, 
44N 004:034 for there was not any one among them who did lack, for as  many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them],  were bringing the prices of the thing sold, 
44N 004:035 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and  distribution was being made to each according as any one had  need. 
44N 004:036 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas --  which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort -- a Levite,  of Cyprus by birth, 
44N 004:037 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and  laid [it] at the feet of the apostles. 
44N 005:001 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife,  sold a possession, 
44N 005:002 and did keep back of the price -- his wife also knowing --  and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles  he laid [it]. 
44N 005:003 And Peter said, `Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill  thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep  back of the price of the place? 
44N 005:004 while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been  sold, in thy authority was it not? why [is] it that thou didst  put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to  God;' 
44N 005:005 and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did  expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things, 
44N 005:006 and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having  carried forth, they buried [him]. 
44N 005:007 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife,  not knowing what hath happened, came in, 
44N 005:008 and Peter answered her, `Tell me if for so much ye sold the  place;' and she said, `Yes, for so much.' 
44N 005:009 And Peter said unto her, `How was it agreed by you, to tempt  the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy  husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;' 
44N 005:010 and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and  the young men having come in, found her dead, and having  carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband; 
44N 005:011 and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who  heard these things. 
44N 005:012 And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and  wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in  the porch of Solomon; 
44N 005:013 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them,  but the people were magnifying them, 
44N 005:014 (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes  both of men and women,) 
44N 005:015 so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and  to lay [them] upon couches and mats, that at the coming of  Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow some one of them; 
44N 005:016 and there were coming together also the people of the  cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and  those harassed by unclean spirits -- who were all healed. 
44N 005:017 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him  -- being the sect of the Sadducees -- were filled with zeal, 
44N 005:018 and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in  a public prison; 
44N 005:019 and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the  doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said, 
44N 005:020 `Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all  the sayings of this life;' 
44N 005:021 and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the  temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come,  and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all  the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison  to have them brought, 
44N 005:022 and the officers having come, did not find them in the  prison, and having turned back, they told, 
44N 005:023 saying -- `The prison indeed we found shut in all safety,  and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having  opened -- within we found no one.' 
44N 005:024 And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and  the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting  concerning them to what this would come; 
44N 005:025 and coming near, a certain one told them, saying -- `Lo,  the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple  standing and teaching the people;' 
44N 005:026 then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought  them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest  they should be stoned; 
44N 005:027 and having brought them, they set [them] in the sanhedrim,  and the chief priest questioned them, 
44N 005:028 saying, `Did not we strictly command you not to teach in  this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching,  and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.' 
44N 005:029 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, `To obey God it  behoveth, rather than men; 
44N 005:030 and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye  slew, having hanged upon a tree; 
44N 005:031 this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His  right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of  sins; 
44N 005:032 and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy  Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.' 
44N 005:033 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were  taking counsel to slay them, 
44N 005:034 but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim -- a  Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all  the people -- commanded to put the apostles forth a little, 
44N 005:035 and said unto them, `Men, Israelites, take heed to  yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do, 
44N 005:036 for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself  was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as  it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were  obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought. 
44N 005:037 `After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of  the enrollment, and drew away much people after him, and that  one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were  scattered; 
44N 005:038 and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them  alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it  will be overthrown, 
44N 005:039 and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest  perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.' 
44N 005:040 And to him they agreed, and having called near the  apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to  speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go; 
44N 005:041 they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the  sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy  to suffer dishonour, 
44N 005:042 every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were  not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news -- Jesus the  Christ. 
44N 006:001 And in these days, the disciples multiplying, there came a  murmuring of the Hellenists at the Hebrews, because their  widows were being overlooked in the daily ministration, 
44N 006:002 and the twelve, having called near the multitude of the  disciples, said, `It is not pleasing that we, having left the  word of God, do minister at tables; 
44N 006:003 look out, therefore, brethren, seven men of you who are well  testified of, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may  set over this necessity, 
44N 006:004 and we to prayer, and to the ministration of the word, will  give ourselves continually.' 
44N 006:005 And the thing was pleasing before all the multitude, and  they did choose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy  Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and  Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch, 
44N 006:006 whom they did set before the apostles, and they, having  prayed, laid on them [their] hands. 
44N 006:007 And the word of God did increase, and the number of the  disciples did multiply in Jerusalem exceedingly; a great  multitude also of the priests were obedient to the faith. 
44N 006:008 And Stephen, full of faith and power, was doing great  wonders and signs among the people, 
44N 006:009 and there arose certain of those of the synagogue, called of  the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of those  from Cilicia, and Asia, disputing with Stephen, 
44N 006:010 and they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit  with which he was speaking; 
44N 006:011 then they suborned men, saying -- `We have heard him  speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.' 
44N 006:012 They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the  scribes, and having come upon [him], they caught him, and  brought [him] to the sanhedrim; 
44N 006:013 they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth  not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the  law, 
44N 006:014 for we have heard him saying, That this Jesus the Nazarean  shall overthrow this place, and shall change the customs that  Moses delivered to us;' 
44N 006:015 and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw  his face as it were the face of a messenger. 
44N 007:001 And the chief priest said, `Are then these things so?' 
44N 007:002 and he said, `Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken: The God  of the glory did appear to our father Abraham, being in  Mesopotamia, before his dwelling in Haran, 
44N 007:003 and He said to him, Go forth out of thy land, and out of thy  kindred, and come to a land that I shall shew thee. 
44N 007:004 `Then having come forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, he  dwelt in Haran, and from thence, after the death of his  father, He did remove him to this land wherein ye now dwell, 
44N 007:005 and He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a footstep,  and did promise to give it to him for a possession, and to his  seed after him -- he having no child. 
44N 007:006 `And God spake thus, That his seed shall be sojourning in a  strange land, and they shall cause it to serve, and shall do  it evil four hundred years, 
44N 007:007 and the nation whom they shall serve I will judge, said God;  and after these things they shall come forth and shall do Me  service in this place. 
44N 007:008 `And He gave to him a covenant of circumcision, and so he  begat Isaac, and did circumcise him on the eighth day, and  Isaac [begat] Jacob, and Jacob -- the twelve patriarchs; 
44N 007:009 and the patriarchs, having been moved with jealousy, sold  Joseph to Egypt, and God was with him, 
44N 007:010 and did deliver him out of all his tribulations, and gave  him favour and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he did  set him -- governor over Egypt and all his house. 
44N 007:011 `And there came a dearth upon all the land of Egypt and  Canaan, and great tribulation, and our fathers were not  finding sustenance, 
44N 007:012 and Jacob having heard that there was corn in Egypt, sent  forth our fathers a first time; 
44N 007:013 and at the second time was Joseph made known to his  brethren, and Joseph's kindred became manifest to Pharaoh, 
44N 007:014 and Joseph having sent, did call for his father Jacob, and  all his kindred -- with seventy and five souls -- 
44N 007:015 and Jacob went down to Egypt, and died, himself and our  fathers, 
44N 007:016 and they were carried over into Sychem, and were laid in  the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in money from the sons  of Emmor, of Sychem. 
44N 007:017 `And according as the time of the promise was drawing nigh,  which God did swear to Abraham, the people increased and  multiplied in Egypt, 
44N 007:018 till another king rose, who had not known Joseph; 
44N 007:019 this one, having dealt subtilely with our kindred, did evil  to our fathers, causing to expose their babes, that they might  not live; 
44N 007:020 in which time Moses was born, and he was fair to God, and  he was brought up three months in the house of his father; 
44N 007:021 and he having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took  him up, and did rear him to herself for a son; 
44N 007:022 and Moses was taught in all wisdom of the Egyptians, and he  was powerful in words and in works. 
44N 007:023 `And when forty years were fulfilled to him, it came upon  his heart to look after his brethren, the sons of Israel; 
44N 007:024 and having seen a certain one suffering injustice, he did  defend, and did justice to the oppressed, having smitten the  Egyptian; 
44N 007:025 and he was supposing his brethren to understand that God  through his hand doth give salvation; and they did not  understand. 
44N 007:026 `On the succeeding day, also, he shewed himself to them as  they are striving, and urged them to peace, saying, Men,  brethren are ye, wherefore do ye injustice to one another? 
44N 007:027 and he who is doing injustice to the neighbour, did thrust  him away, saying, Who set thee a ruler and a judge over us? 
44N 007:028 to kill me dost thou wish, as thou didst kill yesterday the  Egyptian? 
44N 007:029 `And Moses fled at this word, and became a sojourner in the  land of Midian, where he begat two sons, 
44N 007:030 and forty years having been fulfilled, there appeared to  him in the wilderness of mount Sinai a messenger of the Lord,  in a flame of fire of a bush, 
44N 007:031 and Moses having seen did wonder at the sight; and he  drawing near to behold, there came a voice of the Lord unto  him, 
44N 007:032 I [am] the God of thy fathers; the God of Abraham, and the  God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. `And Moses having become  terrified, durst not behold, 
44N 007:033 and the Lord said to him, Loose the sandal of thy feet, for  the place in which thou hast stood is holy ground; 
44N 007:034 seeing I have seen the affliction of My people that [is] in  Egypt, and their groaning I did hear, and came down to deliver  them; and now come, I will send thee to Egypt. 
44N 007:035 `This Moses, whom they did refuse, saying, Who did set thee  a ruler and a judge? this one God a ruler and a redeemer did  send, in the hand of a messenger who appeared to him in the  bush; 
44N 007:036 this one did bring them forth, having done wonders and  signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the  wilderness forty years; 
44N 007:037 this is the Moses who did say to the sons of Israel: A  prophet to you shall the Lord your God raise up out of your  brethren, like to me, him shall ye hear. 
44N 007:038 `This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness, with  the messenger who is speaking to him in the mount Sinai, and  with our fathers who did receive the living oracles to give to  us; 
44N 007:039 to whom our fathers did not wish to become obedient, but  did thrust away, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt, 
44N 007:040 saying to Aaron, Make to us gods who shall go on before us,  for this Moses, who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt,  we have not known what hath happened to him. 
44N 007:041 `And they made a calf in those days, and brought a  sacrifice to the idol, and were rejoicing in the works of  their hands, 
44N 007:042 and God did turn, and did give them up to do service to the  host of the heaven, according as it hath been written in the  scroll of the prophets: Slain beasts and sacrifices did ye  offer to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 
44N 007:043 and ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of  your god Remphan -- the figures that ye made to bow before  them, and I will remove your dwelling beyond Babylon. 
44N 007:044 `The tabernacle of the testimony was among our fathers in  the wilderness, according as He did direct, who is speaking to  Moses, to make it according to the figure that he had seen; 
44N 007:045 which also our fathers having in succession received, did  bring in with Joshua, into the possession of the nations whom  God did drive out from the presence of our fathers, till the  days of David, 
44N 007:046 who found favour before God, and requested to find a  tabernacle for the God of Jacob; 
44N 007:047 and Solomon built Him an house. 
44N 007:048 `But the Most High in sanctuaries made with hands doth not  dwell, according as the prophet saith: 
44N 007:049 The heaven [is] My throne, and the earth My footstool; what  house will ye build to Me? saith the Lord, or what [is] the  place of My rest? 
44N 007:050 hath not My hand made all these things? 
44N 007:051 `Ye stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and in ears! ye  do always the Holy Spirit resist; as your fathers -- also ye; 
44N 007:052 which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? and  they killed those who declared before about the coming of the  Righteous One, of whom now ye betrayers and murderers have  become, 
44N 007:053 who received the law by arrangement of messengers, and did  not keep [it].' 
44N 007:054 And hearing these things, they were cut to the hearts, and  did gnash the teeth at him; 
44N 007:055 and being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked stedfastly  to the heaven, he saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on  the right hand of God, 
44N 007:056 and he said, `Lo, I see the heavens having been opened, and  the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God.' 
44N 007:057 And they, having cried out with a loud voice, stopped their  ears, and did rush with one accord upon him, 
44N 007:058 and having cast him forth outside of the city, they were  stoning [him] -- and the witnesses did put down their garments  at the feet of a young man called Saul -- 
44N 007:059 and they were stoning Stephen, calling and saying, `Lord  Jesus, receive my spirit;' 
44N 007:060 and having bowed the knees, he cried with a loud voice,  `Lord, mayest thou not lay to them this sin;' and this having  said, he fell asleep. 
44N 008:001 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that  day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all  also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria,  except the apostles; 
44N 008:002 and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great  lamentation over him; 
44N 008:003 and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house  entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to  prison; 
44N 008:004 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad  proclaiming good news -- the word. 
44N 008:005 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was  preaching to them the Christ, 
44N 008:006 the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by  Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs  that he was doing, 
44N 008:007 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed,  crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and  lame were healed, 
44N 008:008 and there was great joy in that city. 
44N 008:009 And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city  using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself  to be a certain great one, 
44N 008:010 to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great,  saying, `This one is the great power of God;' 
44N 008:011 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for  a long time amazed them with deeds of magic. 
44N 008:012 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the  things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus  Christ, they were baptized both men and women; 
44N 008:013 and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been  baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs  and mighty acts being done, he was amazed. 
44N 008:014 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria  hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and  John, 
44N 008:015 who having come down did pray concerning them, that they  may receive the Holy Spirit, -- 
44N 008:016 for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they  have been baptized -- to the name of the Lord Jesus; 
44N 008:017 then were they laying hands on them, and they received the  Holy Spirit. 
44N 008:018 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the  hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before  them money, 
44N 008:019 saying, `Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever  I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.' 
44N 008:020 And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee -- may it be  to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to  possess through money; 
44N 008:021 thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart  is not right before God; 
44N 008:022 reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech  God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee, 
44N 008:023 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness,  I perceive thee being.' 
44N 008:024 And Simon answering, said, `Beseech ye for me unto the  Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have  spoken.' 
44N 008:025 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken  the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many  villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news. 
44N 008:026 And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying,  `Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going  down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' -- this is desert. 
44N 008:027 And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a  eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians,  who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to  Jerusalem; 
44N 008:028 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and  he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 
44N 008:029 And the Spirit said to Philip, `Go near, and be joined to  this chariot;' 
44N 008:030 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet  Isaiah, and said, `Dost thou then know what thou dost read?' 
44N 008:031 and he said, `Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide  me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him. 
44N 008:032 And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was  this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb  before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth; 
44N 008:033 in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his  generation -- who shall declare? because taken from the earth  is his life.' 
44N 008:034 And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about  whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some  other one?' 
44N 008:035 and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from  this Writing, proclaimed good news to him -- Jesus. 
44N 008:036 And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain  water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to  be baptized?' 
44N 008:037 [And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the  heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, `I believe Jesus  Christ to be the Son of God;'] 
44N 008:038 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both  went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he  baptized him; 
44N 008:039 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the  Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for  he was going on his way rejoicing; 
44N 008:040 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was  proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to  Cesarea. 
44N 009:001 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the  disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest, 
44N 009:002 did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues,  that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women,  he may bring them bound to Jerusalem. 
44N 009:003 And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly  there shone round about him a light from the heaven, 
44N 009:004 and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to  him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?' 
44N 009:005 And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?' and the Lord said, `I am  Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to  kick;' 
44N 009:006 trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost  thou wish me to do?' and the Lord [said] unto him, `Arise, and  enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it  behoveth thee to do.' 
44N 009:007 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless,  hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one, 
44N 009:008 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been  opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they  brought him to Damascus, 
44N 009:009 and he was three days without seeing, and he did neither eat  nor drink. 
44N 009:010 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name  Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;' and  he said, `Behold me, Lord;' 
44N 009:011 and the Lord [saith] unto him, `Having risen, go on unto  the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of  Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray, 
44N 009:012 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in,  and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.' 
44N 009:013 And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about  this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem, 
44N 009:014 and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind  all those calling on Thy name.' 
44N 009:015 And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice  vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and  kings -- the sons also of Israel; 
44N 009:016 for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My  name to suffer.' 
44N 009:017 And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and  having put upon him [his] hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord  hath sent me -- Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in  which thou wast coming -- that thou mayest see again, and  mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.' 
44N 009:018 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales,  he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized, 
44N 009:019 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul  was with the disciples in Damascus certain days, 
44N 009:020 and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the  Christ, that he is the Son of God. 
44N 009:021 And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this  he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and  hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound  to the chief priests?' 
44N 009:022 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was  confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is  the Christ. 
44N 009:023 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel  together to kill him, 
44N 009:024 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they  were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may  kill him, 
44N 009:025 and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him  down by the wall, letting down in a basket. 
44N 009:026 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself  to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not  believing that he is a disciple, 
44N 009:027 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] unto the  apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the  Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was  speaking boldly in the name of Jesus. 
44N 009:028 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, 
44N 009:029 and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was  both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were  taking in hand to kill him, 
44N 009:030 and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea,  and sent him forth to Tarsus. 
44N 009:031 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and  Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on  in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy  Spirit, they were multiplied. 
44N 009:032 And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all  [quarters], came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at  Lydda, 
44N 009:033 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name -- for  eight years laid upon a couch -- who was paralytic, 
44N 009:034 and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the  Christ; arise and spread for thyself;' and immediately he rose, 
44N 009:035 and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did  turn to the Lord. 
44N 009:036 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name  Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was  full of good works and kind acts that she was doing; 
44N 009:037 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died,  and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber, 
44N 009:038 and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard  that Peter is in that [place], sent two men unto him, calling  on him not to delay to come through unto them. 
44N 009:039 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come,  they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood  by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as  Dorcas was making while she was with them. 
44N 009:040 And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed  the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said,  `Tabitha, arise;' and she opened her eyes, and having seen  Peter, she sat up, 
44N 009:041 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and  having called the saints and the widows, he presented her  alive, 
44N 009:042 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed  on the Lord; 
44N 009:043 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa,  with a certain one, Simon a tanner. 
44N 010:001 And there was a certain man in Cesarea, by name Cornelius,  a centurion from a band called Italian, 
44N 010:002 pious, and fearing God with all his house, doing also many  kind acts to the people, and beseeching God always, 
44N 010:003 he saw in a vision manifestly, as it were the ninth hour of  the day, a messenger of God coming in unto him, and saying to  him, `Cornelius;' 
44N 010:004 and he having looked earnestly on him, and becoming afraid,  said, `What is it, Lord?' And he said to him, `Thy prayers and  thy kind acts came up for a memorial before God, 
44N 010:005 and now send men to Joppa, and send for a certain one  Simon, who is surnamed Peter, 
44N 010:006 this one doth lodge with a certain Simon a tanner, whose  house is by the sea; this one shall speak to thee what it  behoveth thee to do.' 
44N 010:007 And when the messenger who is speaking to Cornelius went  away, having called two of his domestics, and a pious soldier  of those waiting on him continually, 
44N 010:008 and having declared to them all things, he sent them to  Joppa. 
44N 010:009 And on the morrow, as these are proceeding on the way, and  are drawing nigh to the city, Peter went up upon the house-top  to pray, about the sixth hour, 
44N 010:010 and he became very hungry, and wished to eat; and they  making ready, there fell upon him a trance, 
44N 010:011 and he doth behold the heaven opened, and descending unto  him a certain vessel, as a great sheet, bound at the four  corners, and let down upon the earth, 
44N 010:012 in which were all the four-footed beasts of the earth, and  the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the  heaven, 
44N 010:013 and there came a voice unto him: `Having risen, Peter,  slay and eat.' 
44N 010:014 And Peter said, `Not so, Lord; because at no time did I  eat anything common or unclean;' 
44N 010:015 and [there is] a voice again a second time unto him: `What  God did cleanse, thou, declare not thou common;' 
44N 010:016 and this was done thrice, and again was the vessel  received up to the heaven. 
44N 010:017 And as Peter was perplexed in himself what the vision that  he saw might be, then, lo, the men who have been sent from  Cornelius, having made inquiry for the house of Simon, stood  at the gate, 
44N 010:018 and having called, they were asking if Simon, who is  surnamed Peter, doth lodge here? 
44N 010:019 And Peter thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to  him, `Lo, three men do seek thee; 
44N 010:020 but having risen, go down and go on with them, nothing  doubting, because I have sent them;' 
44N 010:021 and Peter having come down unto the men who have been sent  from Cornelius unto him, said, `Lo, I am he whom ye seek, what  [is] the cause for which ye are present?' 
44N 010:022 And they said, `Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous  and fearing God, well testified to, also, by all the nation of  the Jews, was divinely warned by a holy messenger to send for  thee, to his house, and to hear sayings from thee.' 
44N 010:023 Having called them in, therefore, he lodged them, and on  the morrow Peter went forth with them, and certain of the  brethren from Joppa went with him, 
44N 010:024 and on the morrow they did enter into Cesarea; and  Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his  kindred and near friends, 
44N 010:025 and as it came that Peter entered in, Cornelius having met  him, having fallen at [his] feet, did bow before [him]; 
44N 010:026 and Peter raised him, saying, `Stand up; I also myself am  a man;' 
44N 010:027 and talking with him he went in, and doth find many having  come together. 
44N 010:028 And he said unto them, `Ye know how it is unlawful for a  man, a Jew, to keep company with, or to come unto, one of  another race, but to me God did shew to call no man common or  unclean; 
44N 010:029 therefore also without gainsaying I came, having been sent  for; I ask, therefore, for what matter ye did send for me?' 
44N 010:030 And Cornelius said, `Four days ago till this hour, I was  fasting, and [at] the ninth hour praying in my house, and, lo,  a man stood before me in bright clothing, 
44N 010:031 and he said, Cornelius, thy prayer was heard, and thy kind  acts were remembered before God; 
44N 010:032 send, therefore, to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is  surnamed Peter; this one doth lodge in the house of Simon a  tanner, by the sea, who having come, shall speak to thee; 
44N 010:033 at once, therefore, I sent to thee; thou also didst do  well, having come; now, therefore, are we all before God  present to hear all things that have been commanded thee by  God.' 
44N 010:034 And Peter having opened his mouth, said, `Of a truth, I  perceive that God is no respecter of persons, 
44N 010:035 but in every nation he who is fearing Him, and is working  righteousness, is acceptable to Him; 
44N 010:036 the word that he sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming  good news -- peace through Jesus Christ (this one is Lord of  all,) 
44N 010:037 ye -- ye have known; -- the word that came throughout all  Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John  preached; 
44N 010:038 Jesus who [is] from Nazareth -- how God did anoint him  with the Holy Spirit and power; who went through, doing good,  and healing all those oppressed by the devil, because God was  with him; 
44N 010:039 and we -- we are witnesses of all things that he did, both  in the country of the Jews, and in Jerusalem, -- whom they did  slay, having hanged upon a tree. 
44N 010:040 `This one God did raise up the third day, and gave him to  become manifest, 
44N 010:041 not to all the people, but to witnesses, to those having  been chosen before by God -- to us who did eat with [him], and  did drink with him, after his rising out of the dead; 
44N 010:042 and he commanded us to preach to the people, and to  testify fully that it is he who hath been ordained by God judge  of living and dead -- 
44N 010:043 to this one do all the prophets testify, that through his  name every one that is believing in him doth receive remission  of sins.' 
44N 010:044 While Peter is yet speaking these sayings, the Holy spirit  fell upon all those hearing the word, 
44N 010:045 and those of the circumcision believing were astonished --  as many as came with Peter -- because also upon the nations the  gift of the Holy Spirit hath been poured out, 
44N 010:046 for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and  magnifying God. 
44N 010:047 Then answered Peter, `The water is any one able to forbid,  that these may not be baptized, who the Holy Spirit did  receive -- even as also we?' 
44N 010:048 he commanded them also to be baptized in the name of the  Lord; then they besought him to remain certain days. 
44N 011:001 And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard  that also the nations did receive the word of God, 
44N 011:002 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the  circumcision were contending with him, 
44N 011:003 saying -- `Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and  didst eat with them!' 
44N 011:004 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order  saying, 
44N 011:005 `I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance  a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by  four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto  me; 
44N 011:006 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I  saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts,  and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven; 
44N 011:007 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay  and eat; 
44N 011:008 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or  unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth; 
44N 011:009 and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven,  What God did cleanse, thou -- declare not thou common. 
44N 011:010 `And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to  the heaven, 
44N 011:011 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in  which I was, having been sent from Cesarea unto me, 
44N 011:012 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing  doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did  enter into the house of the man, 
44N 011:013 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his  house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call  for Simon, who is surnamed Peter, 
44N 011:014 who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou  and all thy house. 
44N 011:015 `And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall  upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning, 
44N 011:016 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John  indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with  the Holy Spirit; 
44N 011:017 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us,  having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I -- how was I able  to withstand God?' 
44N 011:018 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were  glorifying God, saying, `Then, indeed, also to the nations did  God give the reformation to life.' 
44N 011:019 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad,  from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto  Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none  except to Jews only; 
44N 011:020 and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene,  who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the  Hellenists, proclaiming good news -- the Lord Jesus, 
44N 011:021 and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number  also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord. 
44N 011:022 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that  [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas  to go through unto Antioch, 
44N 011:023 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was  glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to  the Lord, 
44N 011:024 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit,  and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord. 
44N 011:025 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul, 
44N 011:026 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it  came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in  the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also  were divinely called first in Antioch Christians. 
44N 011:027 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to  Antioch, 
44N 011:028 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did  signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be  throughout all the world -- which also came to pass in the time  of Claudius Caesar -- 
44N 011:029 and the disciples, according as any one was prospering,  determined each of them to send for ministration to the  brethren dwelling in Judea, 
44N 011:030 which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the  hand of Barnabas and Saul. 
44N 012:001 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands, to  do evil to certain of those of the assembly, 
44N 012:002 and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword, 
44N 012:003 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added  to lay hold of Peter also -- and they were the days of the  unleavened food -- 
44N 012:004 whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having  delivered [him] to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him,  intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people. 
44N 012:005 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and  fervent prayer was being made by the assembly unto God for  him, 
44N 012:006 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night  was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with  two chains, guards also before the door were keeping the  prison, 
44N 012:007 and lo, a messenger of the Lord stood by, and a light shone  in the buildings, and having smitten Peter on the side, he  raised him up, saying, `Rise in haste,' and his chains fell  from off [his] hands. 
44N 012:008 The messenger also said to him, `Gird thyself, and bind on  thy sandals;' and he did so; and he saith to him, `Put thy  garment round and be following me;' 
44N 012:009 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he knew  not that it is true that which is done through the messenger,  and was thinking he saw a vision, 
44N 012:010 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they  came unto the iron gate that is leading to the city, which of  its own accord did open to them, and having gone forth, they  went on through one street, and immediately the messenger  departed from him. 
44N 012:011 And Peter having come to himself, said, `Now I have known  of a truth that the Lord did sent forth His messenger, and did  deliver me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of  the people of the Jews;' 
44N 012:012 also, having considered, he came unto the house of Mary,  the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many  thronged together and praying. 
44N 012:013 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there  came a damsel to hearken, by name Rhoda, 
44N 012:014 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did  not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of  Peter before the porch, 
44N 012:015 and they said unto her, `Thou art mad;' and she was  confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, `It is his  messenger;' 
44N 012:016 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they  saw him, and were astonished, 
44N 012:017 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he  declared to them how the Lord brought him out of the prison,  and he said, `Declare to James and to the brethren these  things;' and having gone forth, he went on to another place. 
44N 012:018 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the  soldiers what then was become of Peter, 
44N 012:019 and Herod having sought for him, and not having found,  having examined the guards, did command [them] to be led away  to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Cesarea, he  was abiding [there]. 
44N 012:020 And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and  Sidonians, and with one accord they came unto him, and having  made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the  king, they were asking peace, because of their country being  nourished from the king's; 
44N 012:021 and on a set day, Herod having arrayed himself in kingly  apparel, and having sat down upon the tribunal, was making an  oration unto them, 
44N 012:022 and the populace were shouting, `The voice of a god, and  not of a man;' 
44N 012:023 and presently there smote him a messenger of the Lord,  because he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten  of worms, he expired. 
44N 012:024 And the word of God did grow and did multiply, 
44N 012:025 and Barnabas and Saul did turn back out of Jerusalem,  having fulfilled the ministration, having taken also with  [them] John, who was surnamed Mark. 
44N 013:001 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there,  prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called  Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also -- Herod the  tetrarch's foster-brother -- and Saul; 
44N 013:002 and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy  Spirit said, `Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the  work to which I have called them,' 
44N 013:003 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the  hands on them, they sent [them] away. 
44N 013:004 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy  Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to  Cyprus, 
44N 013:005 and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God  in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John [as] a  ministrant; 
44N 013:006 and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found  a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is]  Bar-Jesus; 
44N 013:007 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent  man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire  to hear the word of God, 
44N 013:008 and there withstood them Elymas the magian -- for so is his  name interpreted -- seeking to pervert the proconsul from the  faith. 
44N 013:009 And Saul -- who also [is] Paul -- having been filled with  the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him, 
44N 013:010 said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a  devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease  perverting the right ways of the Lord? 
44N 013:011 and now, lo, a hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou  shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and  presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he,  going about, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand; 
44N 013:012 then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did  believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord. 
44N 013:013 And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to  Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did  turn back to Jerusalem, 
44N 013:014 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch  of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the  sabbath-day, they sat down, 
44N 013:015 and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the  chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, `Men,  brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the  people -- say on.' 
44N 013:016 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand,  said, `Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken: 
44N 013:017 the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and  the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of  Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it; 
44N 013:018 and about a period of forty years He did suffer their  manners in the wilderness, 
44N 013:019 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan,  He did divide by lot to them their land. 
44N 013:020 `And after these things, about four hundred and fifty  years, He gave judges -- till Samuel the prophet; 
44N 013:021 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to  them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for  forty years; 
44N 013:022 and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for  king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David,  the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do  all My will. 
44N 013:023 `Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise  to Israel a Saviour -- Jesus, 
44N 013:024 John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism  of reformation to all the people of Israel; 
44N 013:025 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do  ye suppose to be? I am not [he], but, lo, he doth come after  me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his] feet. 
44N 013:026 `Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those  among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation  sent, 
44N 013:027 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this  one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which  every sabbath are being read -- having judged [him] -- did  fulfill, 
44N 013:028 and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate  that he should be slain, 
44N 013:029 and when they did complete all the things written about  him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a  tomb; 
44N 013:030 and God did raise him out of the dead, 
44N 013:031 and he was seen for many days of those who did come up  with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto  the people. 
44N 013:032 `And we to you do proclaim good news -- that the promise  made unto the fathers, 
44N 013:033 God hath in full completed this to us their children,  having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath  been written, My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee. 
44N 013:034 `And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to  return to corruption, he hath said thus -- I will give to you  the faithful kindnesses of David; 
44N 013:035 wherefore also in another [place] he saith, Thou shalt not  give Thy kind One to see corruption, 
44N 013:036 for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the  will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers,  and saw corruption, 
44N 013:037 but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption. 
44N 013:038 `Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that  through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared, 
44N 013:039 and from all things from which ye were not able in the law  of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who  is believing is declared righteous; 
44N 013:040 see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been  spoken in the prophets: 
44N 013:041 See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work  I -- I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not  believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.' 
44N 013:042 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews,  the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath  these sayings may be spoken to them, 
44N 013:043 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews  and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who,  speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace  of God. 
44N 013:044 And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was  gathered together to hear the word of God, 
44N 013:045 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with  zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul --  contradicting and speaking evil. 
44N 013:046 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, `To you it  was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing  ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the  life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; 
44N 013:047 for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a  light of nations -- for thy being for salvation unto the end of  the earth.' 
44N 013:048 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the  word of the Lord, and did believe -- as many as were appointed  to life age-during; 
44N 013:049 and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the  region. 
44N 013:050 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women,  and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution  against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their  borders; 
44N 013:051 and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against  them, came to Iconium, 
44N 013:052 and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy  Spirit. 
44N 014:001 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they did enter  together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake, so that  there believed both of Jews and Greeks a great multitude; 
44N 014:002 and the unbelieving Jews did stir up and made evil the  souls of the nations against the brethren; 
44N 014:003 long time, indeed, therefore, did they abide speaking  boldly in the Lord, who is testifying to the word of His grace,  and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their  hands. 
44N 014:004 And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were  with the Jews, and some with the apostles, 
44N 014:005 and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the  Jews with their rulers to use [them] despitefully, and to stone  them, 
44N 014:006 they having become aware, did flee to the cities of  Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about, 
44N 014:007 and there they were proclaiming good news. 
44N 014:008 And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was  sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother -- who never  had walked, 
44N 014:009 this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having stedfastly  beheld him, and having seen that he hath faith to be saved, 
44N 014:010 said with a loud voice, `Stand up on thy feet upright;'  and he was springing and walking, 
44N 014:011 and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, did lift up  their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, `The gods,  having become like men, did come down unto us;' 
44N 014:012 they were calling also Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes,  since he was the leader in speaking. 
44N 014:013 And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, oxen  and garlands unto the porches having brought, with the  multitudes did wish to sacrifice, 
44N 014:014 and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having  rent their garments, did spring into the multitude, crying 
44N 014:015 and saying, `Men, why these things do ye? and we are men  like-affected with you, proclaiming good news to you, from  these vanities to turn unto the living God, who made the  heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in  them; 
44N 014:016 who in the past generations did suffer all the nations to  go on in their ways, 
44N 014:017 though, indeed, without witness He did not leave himself,  doing good -- from heaven giving rains to us, and fruitful  seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness;' 
44N 014:018 and these things saying, scarcely did they restrain the  multitudes from sacrificing to them. 
44N 014:019 And there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews,  and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned  Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be  dead; 
44N 014:020 and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he  entered into the city, and on the morrow he went forth with  Barnabas to Derbe. 
44N 014:021 Having proclaimed good news also to that city, and having  discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and  Antioch, 
44N 014:022 confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain  in the faith, and that through many tribulations it behoveth  us to enter into the reign of God, 
44N 014:023 and having appointed to them by vote elders in every  assembly, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to  the Lord in whom they had believed. 
44N 014:024 And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia, 
44N 014:025 and having spoken in Perga the word, they went down to  Attalia, 
44N 014:026 and thence did sail to Antioch, whence they had been given  by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled; 
44N 014:027 and having come and gathered together the assembly, they  declared as many things as God did with them, and that He did  open to the nations a door of faith; 
44N 014:028 and they abode there not a little time with the disciples. 
44N 015:001 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the  brethren -- `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of  Moses, ye are not able to be saved;' 
44N 015:002 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and  disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for  Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto  the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question, 
44N 015:003 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the  assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring  the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy  to all the brethren. 
44N 015:004 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the  assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also  as many things as God did with them; 
44N 015:005 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the  Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise  them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.' 
44N 015:006 And there were gathered together the apostles and the  elders, to see about this matter, 
44N 015:007 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up  said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days,  God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations  to hear the word of the good news, and to believe; 
44N 015:008 and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having  given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us, 
44N 015:009 and did put no difference also between us and them, by the  faith having purified their hearts; 
44N 015:010 now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon  the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we  were able to bear? 
44N 015:011 but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we  believe to be saved, even as also they.' 
44N 015:012 And all the multitude did keep silence, and were  hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and  wonders as God did among the nations through them; 
44N 015:013 and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men,  brethren, hearken to me; 
44N 015:014 Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take  out of the nations a people for His name, 
44N 015:015 and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath  been written: 
44N 015:016 After these things I will turn back, and I will build  again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its  ruins I will build again, and will set it upright -- 
44N 015:017 that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all  the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the  Lord, who is doing all these things. 
44N 015:018 `Known from the ages to God are all His works; 
44N 015:019 wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the  nations do turn back to God, 
44N 015:020 but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the  idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the  blood; 
44N 015:021 for Moses from former generations in every city hath those  preaching him -- in the synagogues every sabbath being read.' 
44N 015:022 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with  the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to  Antioch with Paul and Barnabas -- Judas surnamed Barsabas, and  Silas, leading men among the brethren -- 
44N 015:023 having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and  the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria,  and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting; 
44N 015:024 seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from  us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying  to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no  charge, 
44N 015:025 it seemed good to us, having come together with one  accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas  and Paul -- 
44N 015:026 men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord  Jesus Christ -- 
44N 015:027 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word  are telling the same things. 
44N 015:028 `For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more  burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things: 
44N 015:029 to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a  strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves,  ye shall do well; be strong!' 
44N 015:030 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch,  and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the  epistle, 
44N 015:031 and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation; 
44N 015:032 Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets,  through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm, 
44N 015:033 and having passed some time, they were let go with peace  from the brethren unto the apostles; 
44N 015:034 and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still. 
44N 015:035 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and  proclaiming good news -- with many others also -- the word of  the Lord; 
44N 015:036 and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having  turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every  city in which we have preached the word of the Lord -- how  they are.' 
44N 015:037 And Barnabas counseled to take with [them] John called  Mark, 
44N 015:038 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them  who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with  them to the work; 
44N 015:039 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they  were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark,  did sail to Cyprus, 
44N 015:040 and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been  given up to the grace of God by the brethren; 
44N 015:041 and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the  assemblies. 
44N 016:001 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple  was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a  believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek, 
44N 016:002 who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and  Iconium; 
44N 016:003 this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having  taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in  those places, for they all knew his father -- that he was a  Greek. 
44N 016:004 And as they were going on through the cities, they were  delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged  by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem, 
44N 016:005 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith,  and were abounding in number every day; 
44N 016:006 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia,  having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in  Asia, 
44N 016:007 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward  Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them, 
44N 016:008 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 
44N 016:009 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul -- a  certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and  saying, `Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' -- 
44N 016:010 and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to  go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath  called us to preach good news to them, 
44N 016:011 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a  straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to  Neapolis, 
44N 016:012 thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the  part of Macedonia -- a colony. And we were in this city  abiding certain days, 
44N 016:013 on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city,  by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat  down, we were speaking to the women who came together, 
44N 016:014 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of  the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose  heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by  Paul; 
44N 016:015 and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call  upon us, saying, `If ye have judged me to be faithful to the  Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she  constrained us. 
44N 016:016 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain  maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much  employment to her masters by soothsaying, 
44N 016:017 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying,  `These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us  a way of salvation;' 
44N 016:018 and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been  grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, `I command  thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;'  and it came forth the same hour. 
44N 016:019 And her masters having seen that the hope of their  employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them]  to the market-place, unto the rulers, 
44N 016:020 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said,  `These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews; 
44N 016:021 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to  receive nor to do, being Romans.' 
44N 016:022 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the  magistrates having torn their garments from them, were  commanding to beat [them] with rods, 
44N 016:023 many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to  prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely, 
44N 016:024 who such a charge having received, did put them to the  inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks. 
44N 016:025 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns  to God, and the prisoners were hearing them, 
44N 016:026 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the  foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently  were all the doors, and of all -- the bands were loosed; 
44N 016:027 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen  the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about  to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled, 
44N 016:028 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, `Thou mayest  not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.' 
44N 016:029 And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling  he fell down before Paul and Silas, 
44N 016:030 and having brought them forth, said, `Sirs, what must I do  -- that I may be saved?' 
44N 016:031 and they said, `Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou  shalt be saved -- thou and thy house;' 
44N 016:032 and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all  those in his household; 
44N 016:033 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did  bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all  his presently, 
44N 016:034 having brought them also into his house, he set food  before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having  believed in God. 
44N 016:035 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers,  saying, `Let those men go;' 
44N 016:036 and the jailor told these words unto Paul -- `The  magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore,  having gone forth go on in peace;' 
44N 016:037 and Paul said to them, `Having beaten us publicly  uncondemned -- men, Romans being -- they did cast [us] to  prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but  having come themselves, let them bring us forth.' 
44N 016:038 And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings,  and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans, 
44N 016:039 and having come, they besought them, and having brought  [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the  city; 
44N 016:040 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered  into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they  comforted them, and went forth. 
44N 017:001 And having passed through Amphipolis, and Apollonia, they  came to Thessalonica, where was the synagogue of the Jews, 
44N 017:002 and according to the custom of Paul, he went in unto them,  and for three sabbaths he was reasoning with them from the  Writings, 
44N 017:003 opening and alleging, `That the Christ it behoved to  suffer, and to rise again out of the dead, and that this is  the Christ -- Jesus whom I proclaim to you.' 
44N 017:004 And certain of them did believe, and attached themselves to  Paul and to Silas, also of the worshipping Greeks a great  multitude, of the principal women also not a few. 
44N 017:005 And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and  having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and  having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having  assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to  bring [them] to the populace, 
44N 017:006 and not having found them, they drew Jason and certain  brethren unto the city rulers, calling aloud -- `These, having  put the world in commotion, are also here present, 
44N 017:007 whom Jason hath received; and these all do contrary to the  decrees of Caesar, saying another to be king -- Jesus.' 
44N 017:008 And they troubled the multitude and the city rulers,  hearing these things, 
44N 017:009 and having taking security from Jason and the rest, they  let them go. 
44N 017:010 And the brethren immediately, through the night, sent  forth both Paul and Silas to Berea, who having come, went to  the synagogue of the Jews; 
44N 017:011 and these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, they  received the word with all readiness of mind, every day  examining the Writings whether those things were so; 
44N 017:012 many, indeed, therefore, of them did believe, and of the  honourable Greek women and men not a few. 
44N 017:013 And when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that also in  Berea was the word of God declared by Paul, they came thither  also, agitating the multitudes; 
44N 017:014 and then immediately the brethren sent forth Paul, to go  on as it were to the sea, but both Silas and Timothy were  remaining there. 
44N 017:015 And those conducting Paul, brought him unto Athens, and  having received a command unto Silas and Timotheus that with  all speed they may come unto him, they departed; 
44N 017:016 and Paul waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was  stirred in him, beholding the city wholly given to idolatry, 
44N 017:017 therefore, indeed, he was reasoning in the synagogue with  the Jews, and with the worshipping persons, and in the  market-place every day with those who met with him. 
44N 017:018 And certain of the Epicurean and of the Stoic  philosophers, were meeting together to see him, and some were  saying, `What would this seed picker wish to say?' and others,  `Of strange demons he doth seem to be an announcer;' because  Jesus and the rising again he did proclaim to them as good  news, 
44N 017:019 having also taken him, unto the Areopagus they brought  [him], saying, `Are we able to know what [is] this new teaching  that is spoken by thee, 
44N 017:020 for certain strange things thou dost bring to our ears? we  wish, then, to know what these things would wish to be;' 
44N 017:021 and all Athenians, and the strangers sojourning, for  nothing else were at leisure but to say something, and to hear  some newer thing. 
44N 017:022 And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus,  said, `Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you as  over-religious; 
44N 017:023 for passing through and contemplating your objects of  worship, I found also an erection on which had been inscribed:  To God -- unknown; whom, therefore -- not knowing -- ye do  worship, this One I announce to you. 
44N 017:024 `God, who did make the world, and all things in it, this  One, of heaven and of earth being Lord, in temples made with  hands doth not dwell, 
44N 017:025 neither by the hands of men is He served -- needing  anything, He giving to all life, and breath, and all things; 
44N 017:026 He made also of one blood every nation of men, to dwell  upon all the face of the earth -- having ordained times before  appointed, and the bounds of their dwellings -- 
44N 017:027 to seek the Lord, if perhaps they did feel after Him and  find, -- though, indeed, He is not far from each one of us, 
44N 017:028 for in Him we live, and move, and are; as also certain of  your poets have said: For of Him also we are offspring. 
44N 017:029 `Being, therefore, offspring of God, we ought not to think  the Godhead to be like to gold, or silver, or stone, graving of  art and device of man; 
44N 017:030 the times, indeed, therefore, of the ignorance God having  overlooked, doth now command all men everywhere to reform, 
44N 017:031 because He did set a day in which He is about to judge the  world in righteousness, by a man whom He did ordain, having  given assurance to all, having raised him out of the dead.' 
44N 017:032 And having heard of a rising again of the dead, some,  indeed, were mocking, but others said, `We will hear thee again  concerning this;' 
44N 017:033 and so Paul went forth from the midst of them, 
44N 017:034 and certain men having cleaved to him, did believe, among  whom [is] also Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman, by name  Damaris, and others with them. 
44N 018:001 And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens,  came to Corinth, 
44N 018:002 and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus  by birth, lately come from Italy, and Priscilla his wife --  because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out  of Rome -- he came to them, 
44N 018:003 and because of being of the same craft, he did remain with  them, and was working, for they were tent-makers as to craft; 
44N 018:004 and he was reasoning in the synagogue every sabbath,  persuading both Jews and Greeks. 
44N 018:005 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia,  Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews  Jesus the Christ; 
44N 018:006 and on their resisting and speaking evil, having shaken  [his] garments, he said unto them, `Your blood [is] upon your  head -- I am clean; henceforth to the nations I will go on.' 
44N 018:007 And having departed thence, he went to the house of a  certain one, by name Justus, a worshipper of God, whose house  was adjoining the synagogue, 
44N 018:008 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue did believe in the  Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing  were believing, and they were being baptized. 
44N 018:009 And the Lord said through a vision in the night to Paul,  `Be not afraid, but be speaking and thou mayest be not silent; 
44N 018:010 because I am with thee, and no one shall set on thee to do  thee evil; because I have much people in this city;' 
44N 018:011 and he continued a year and six months, teaching among  them the word of God. 
44N 018:012 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush  with one accord upon Paul, and brought him unto the tribunal, 
44N 018:013 saying -- `Against the law this one doth persuade men to  worship God;' 
44N 018:014 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said unto  the Jews, `If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an  act of wicked profligacy, O Jews, according to reason I had  borne with you, 
44N 018:015 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of  your law, look ye yourselves [to it], for a judge of these  things I do not wish to be,' 
44N 018:016 and he drave them from the tribunal; 
44N 018:017 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man  of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the tribunal, and  not even for these things was Gallio caring. 
44N 018:018 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having  taken leave of the brethren, was sailing to Syria -- and with  him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas -- having shorn [his] head in  Cenchera, for he had a vow; 
44N 018:019 and he came down to Ephesus, and did leave them there, and  he himself having entered into the synagogue did reason with  the Jews: 
44N 018:020 and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time  with them, he did not consent, 
44N 018:021 but took leave of them, saying, `It behoveth me by all  means the coming feast to keep at Jerusalem, and again I will  return unto you -- God willing.' And he sailed from Ephesus, 
44N 018:022 and having come down to Cesarea, having gone up, and  having saluted the assembly, he went down to Antioch. 
44N 018:023 And having made some stay he went forth, going through in  order the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the  disciples. 
44N 018:024 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by  birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came  to Ephesus, 
44N 018:025 this one was instructed in the way of the Lord, and being  fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the  things about the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John; 
44N 018:026 this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and  Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them],  and did more exactly expound to him the way of God, 
44N 018:027 and he being minded to go through into Achaia, the  brethren wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to  receive him, who having come, did help them much who have  believed through the grace, 
44N 018:028 for powerfully the Jews he was refuting publicly, shewing  through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ. 
44N 019:001 And it came to pass, in Apollos' being in Corinth, Paul  having gone through the upper parts, came to Ephesus, and  having found certain disciples, 
44N 019:002 he said unto them, `The Holy Spirit did ye receive --  having believed?' and they said unto him, `But we did not even  hear whether there is any Holy Spirit;' 
44N 019:003 and he said unto them, `To what, then, were ye baptized?'  and they said, `To John's baptism.' 
44N 019:004 And Paul said, `John, indeed, did baptize with a baptism of  reformation, saying to the people that in him who is coming  after him they should believe -- that is, in the Christ --  Jesus;' 
44N 019:005 and they, having heard, were baptized -- to the name of the  Lord Jesus, 
44N 019:006 and Paul having laid on them [his] hands, the Holy Spirit  came upon them, they were speaking also with tongues, and  prophesying, 
44N 019:007 and all the men were, as it were, twelve. 
44N 019:008 And having gone into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly  for three months, reasoning and persuading the things  concerning the reign of God, 
44N 019:009 and when certain were hardened and were disbelieving,  speaking evil of the way before the multitude, having departed  from them, he did separate the disciples, every day reasoning  in the school of a certain Tyrannus. 
44N 019:010 And this happened for two years so that all those dwelling  in Asia did hear the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and  Greeks, 
44N 019:011 mighty works also -- not common -- was God working through  the hands of Paul, 
44N 019:012 so that even unto the ailing were brought from his body  handkerchiefs or aprons, and the sicknesses departed from them;  the evil spirits also went forth from them. 
44N 019:013 And certain of the wandering exorcist Jews, took upon  [them] to name over those having the evil spirits the name of  the Lord Jesus, saying, `We adjure you by Jesus, whom Paul doth  preach;' 
44N 019:014 and there were certain -- seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a  chief priest -- who are doing this thing; 
44N 019:015 and the evil spirit, answering, said, `Jesus I know, and  Paul I am acquainted with; and ye -- who are ye?' 
44N 019:016 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaping upon  them, and having overcome them, prevailed against them, so  that naked and wounded they did flee out of that house, 
44N 019:017 and this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who  are dwelling at Ephesus, and fear fell upon them all, and the  name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified, 
44N 019:018 many also of those who did believe were coming, confessing  and declaring their acts, 
44N 019:019 and many of those who had practised the curious arts,  having brought the books together, were burning [them] before  all; and they reckoned together the prices of them, and found  [it] five myriads of silverlings; 
44N 019:020 so powerfully was the word of God increasing and  prevailing. 
44N 019:021 And when these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the  Spirit, having gone through Macedonia and Achaia, to go on to  Jerusalem, saying -- `After my being there, it behoveth me also  to see Rome;' 
44N 019:022 and having sent to Macedonia two of those ministering to  him -- Timotheus and Erastus -- he himself stayed a time in  Asia. 
44N 019:023 And there came, at that time, not a little stir about the  way, 
44N 019:024 for a certain one, Demetrius by name, a worker in silver,  making silver sanctuaries of Artemis, was bringing to the  artificers gain not a little, 
44N 019:025 whom, having brought in a crowd together, and those who  did work about such things, he said, `Men, ye know that by this  work we have our wealth; 
44N 019:026 and ye see and hear, that not only at Ephesus, but almost  in all Asia, this Paul, having persuaded, did turn away a great  multitude, saying, that they are not gods who are made by  hands; 
44N 019:027 and not only is this department in danger for us of coming  into disregard, but also, that of the great goddess Artemis the  temple is to be reckoned for nothing, and also her greatness is  about to be brought down, whom all Asia and the world doth  worship.' 
44N 019:028 And they having heard, and having become full of wrath,  were crying out, saying, `Great [is] the Artemis of the  Ephesians!' 
44N 019:029 and the whole city was filled with confusion, they rushed  also with one accord into the theatre, having caught Gaius and  Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's fellow-travellers. 
44N 019:030 And on Paul's purposing to enter in unto the populace, the  disciples were not suffering him, 
44N 019:031 and certain also of the chief men of Asia, being his  friends, having sent unto him, were entreating him not to  venture himself into the theatre. 
44N 019:032 Some indeed, therefore, were calling out one thing, and  some another, for the assembly was confused, and the greater  part did not know for what they were come together; 
44N 019:033 and out of the multitude they put forward Alexander -- the  Jews thrusting him forward -- and Alexander having beckoned  with the hand, wished to make defence to the populace, 
44N 019:034 and having known that he is a Jew, one voice came out of  all, for about two hours, crying, `Great [is] the Artemis of  the Ephesians!' 
44N 019:035 And the public clerk having quieted the multitude, saith,  `Men, Ephesians, why, who is the man that doth not know that  the city of the Ephesians is a devotee of the great goddess  Artemis, and of that which fell down from Zeus? 
44N 019:036 these things, then, not being to be gainsaid, it is  necessary for you to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. 
44N 019:037 `For ye brought these men, who are neither temple-robbers  nor speaking evil of your goddess; 
44N 019:038 if indeed, therefore, Demetrius and the artificers with  him with any one have a matter, court [days] are held, and  there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another. 
44N 019:039 `And if ye seek after anything concerning other matters,  in the legal assembly it shall be determined; 
44N 019:040 for we are also in peril of being accused of insurrection  in regard to this day, there being no occasion by which we  shall be able to give an account of this concourse;' 
44N 019:041 and these things having said, he dismissed the assembly. 
44N 020:001 And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called  near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to  go on to Macedonia; 
44N 020:002 and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted  them with many words, he came to Greece; 
44N 020:003 having made also three months' [stay] -- a counsel of the  Jews having been against him -- being about to set forth to  Syria, there came [to him] a resolution of returning through  Macedonia. 
44N 020:004 And there were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of  Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and  Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and  Trophimus; 
44N 020:005 these, having gone before, did remain for us in Troas, 
44N 020:006 and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from  Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we  abode seven days. 
44N 020:007 And on the first of the week, the disciples having been  gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to  them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing  the discourse till midnight, 
44N 020:008 and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they  were gathered together, 
44N 020:009 and there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus,  upon the window -- being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul  discoursing long -- he having sunk down from the sleep, fell  down from the third story, and was lifted up dead. 
44N 020:010 And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having  embraced [him], said, `Make no tumult, for his life is in  him;' 
44N 020:011 and having come up, and having broken bread, and having  tasted, for a long time also having talked -- till daylight,  so he went forth, 
44N 020:012 and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in  no ordinary measure. 
44N 020:013 And we having gone before unto the ship, did sail to  Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had  arranged, intending himself to go on foot; 
44N 020:014 and when he met with us at Assos, having taken him up, we  came to Mitylene, 
44N 020:015 and thence having sailed, on the morrow we came  over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and  having remained in Trogyllium, on the following day we came to  Miletus, 
44N 020:016 for Paul decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not  be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were  possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at  Jerusalem. 
44N 020:017 And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for  the elders of the assembly, 
44N 020:018 and when they were come unto him, he said to them, `Ye --  ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with  you at all times I was; 
44N 020:019 serving the Lord with all humility, and many tears, and  temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against  [me]; 
44N 020:020 how nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable,  not to declare to you, and to teach you publicly, and in every  house, 
44N 020:021 testifying fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God  reformation, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. 
44N 020:022 `And now, lo, I -- bound in the Spirit -- go on to  Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing, 
44N 020:023 save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify  fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain; 
44N 020:024 but I make account of none of these, neither do I count my  life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy,  and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to  testify fully the good news of the grace of God. 
44N 020:025 `And now, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my  face, -- ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God; 
44N 020:026 wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am]  clear from the blood of all, 
44N 020:027 for I did not keep back from declaring to you all the  counsel of God. 
44N 020:028 `Take heed, therefore, to yourselves, and to all the  flock, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed  the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood, 
44N 020:029 for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my  departing, grievous wolves unto you, not sparing the flock, 
44N 020:030 and of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking  perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. 
44N 020:031 `Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and  day, I did not cease with tears warning each one; 
44N 020:032 and now, I commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word  of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an  inheritance among all those sanctified. 
44N 020:033 `The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet; 
44N 020:034 and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to  those who were with me, minister did these hands; 
44N 020:035 all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it  behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of  the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more  blessed to give than to receive.' 
44N 020:036 And these things having said, having bowed his knees, with  them all, he did pray, 
44N 020:037 and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen  upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him, 
44N 020:038 sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said --  that they are about no more to see his face; and they were  accompanying him to the ship. 
44N 021:001 And it came to pass, at our sailing, having been parted  from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the  succeeding [day] to Rhodes, and thence to Patara, 
44N 021:002 and having found a ship passing over to Phenicia, having  gone on board, we sailed, 
44N 021:003 and having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the  left, we were sailing to Syria, and did land at Tyre, for there  was the ship discharging the lading. 
44N 021:004 And having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven  days, and they said to Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up  to Jerusalem; 
44N 021:005 but when it came that we completed the days, having gone  forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and  children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the  knees upon the shore, we prayed, 
44N 021:006 and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship,  and they returned to their own friends. 
44N 021:007 And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to  Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one  day with them; 
44N 021:008 and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth,  we came to Cesarea, and having entered into the house of  Philip the evangelist -- who is of the seven -- we remained  with him, 
44N 021:009 and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying. 
44N 021:010 And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain  one from Judea, a prophet, by name Agabus, 
44N 021:011 and he having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle  of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, `Thus  saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle -- so  shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver [him]  up to the hands of nations.' 
44N 021:012 And when we heard these things, we called upon [him] --  both we, and those of that place -- not to go up to Jerusalem, 
44N 021:013 and Paul answered, `What do ye -- weeping, and crushing  mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at  Jerusalem, am ready, for the name of the Lord Jesus;' 
44N 021:014 and he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, `The  will of the Lord be done.' 
44N 021:015 And after these days, having taken [our] vessels, we were  going up to Jerusalem, 
44N 021:016 and there went also of the disciples from Cesarea with us,  bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain  Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple. 
44N 021:017 And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly  receive us, 
44N 021:018 and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James,  all the elders also came, 
44N 021:019 and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one,  each of the things God did among the nations through his  ministration, 
44N 021:020 and they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said  also to him, `Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are  of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of the law, 
44N 021:021 and they are instructed concerning thee, that apostacy  from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations,  saying -- Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs  to walk; 
44N 021:022 what then is it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to  come together, for they will hear that thou hast come. 
44N 021:023 `This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men  having a vow on themselves, 
44N 021:024 these having taken, be purified with them, and be at  expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may  know that the things of which they have been instructed  concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk -- thyself also  -- the law keeping. 
44N 021:025 `And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we  have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such  thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices,  and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.' 
44N 021:026 Then Paul, having taken the men, on the following day,  with them having purified himself, was entering into the  temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the  purification, till the offering was offered for each one of  them. 
44N 021:027 And, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the  Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring  up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon him, 
44N 021:028 crying out, `Men, Israelites, help! this is the man who,  against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere  is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the  temple, and hath defiled this holy place;' 
44N 021:029 for they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the  city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul brought into  the temple. 
44N 021:030 All the city also was moved and there was a running  together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were  drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors  shut, 
44N 021:031 and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief  captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into  confusion, 
44N 021:032 who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran  down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the  soldiers, did leave off beating Paul. 
44N 021:033 Then the chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and  commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring  who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing, 
44N 021:034 and some were crying out one thing, and some another,  among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty  because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the  castle, 
44N 021:035 and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne  by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude, 
44N 021:036 for the crowd of the people was following after, crying,  `Away with him.' 
44N 021:037 And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to  the chief captain, `Is it permitted to me to say anything unto  thee?' and he said, `Greek dost thou know? 
44N 021:038 art not thou, then, the Egyptian who before these days  made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the four  thousand men of the assassins?' 
44N 021:039 And Paul said, `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of  Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer  me to speak unto the people.' 
44N 021:040 And he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the  stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there  having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew  dialect, saying: 
44N 022:001 `Men, brethren, and fathers, hear my defence now unto you;'  -- 
44N 022:002 and they having heard that in the Hebrew dialect he was  speaking to them, gave the more silence, and he saith, -- 
44N 022:003 `I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, having been born in Tarsus of  Cilicia, and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,  having been taught according to the exactitude of a law of the  fathers, being zealous of God, as all ye are to-day. 
44N 022:004 `And this way I persecuted unto death, binding and  delivering up to prisons both men and women, 
44N 022:005 as also the chief priest doth testify to me, and all the  eldership; from whom also having received letters unto the  brethren, to Damascus, I was going on, to bring also those  there bound to Jerusalem that they might be punished, 
44N 022:006 and it came to pass, in my going on and coming nigh to  Damascus, about noon, suddenly out of the heaven there shone a  great light round about me, 
44N 022:007 I fell also to the ground, and I heard a voice saying to  me, Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute? 
44N 022:008 `And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? and he said unto me, I  am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou dost persecute -- 
44N 022:009 and they who are with me the light did see, and became  afraid, and the voice they heard not of him who is speaking to  me -- 
44N 022:010 and I said, What shall I do, Lord? and the Lord said unto  me, Having risen, go on to Damascus, and there it shall be told  thee concerning all things that have been appointed for thee to  do. 
44N 022:011 `And when I did not see from the glory of that light,  being led by the hand by those who are with me, I came to  Damascus, 
44N 022:012 and a certain one, Ananias, a pious man according to the  law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling [there], 
44N 022:013 having come unto me and stood by [me], said to me, Saul,  brother, look up; and I the same hour did look up to him; 
44N 022:014 and he said, The God of our fathers did choose thee  beforehand to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and  to hear a voice out of his mouth, 
44N 022:015 because thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what  thou hast seen and heard; 
44N 022:016 and now, why tarriest thou? having risen, baptize thyself,  and wash away thy sins, calling upon the name of the Lord. 
44N 022:017 `And it came to pass when I returned to Jerusalem, and  while I was praying in the temple, I came into a trance, 
44N 022:018 and I saw him saying to me, Haste and go forth in haste  out of Jerusalem, because they will not receive thy testimony  concerning me; 
44N 022:019 and I said, Lord, they -- they know that I was imprisoning  and was scourging in every synagogue those believing on thee; 
44N 022:020 and when the blood of thy witness Stephen was being poured  forth, I also was standing by and assenting to his death, and  keeping the garments of those putting him to death; 
44N 022:021 and he said unto me, Go, because to nations far off I will  send thee.' 
44N 022:022 And they were hearing him unto this word, and they lifted  up their voice, saying, `Away from the earth with such an one;  for it is not fit for him to live.' 
44N 022:023 And they crying out and casting up their garments, and  throwing dust into the air, 
44N 022:024 the chief captain commanded him to be brought into the  castle, saying, `By scourges let him be examined;' that he  might know for what cause they were crying so against him. 
44N 022:025 And as he was stretching him with the thongs, Paul said  unto the centurion who was standing by, `A man, a Roman,  uncondemned -- is it lawful to you to scourge;' 
44N 022:026 and the centurion having heard, having gone near to the  chief captain, told, saying, `Take heed what thou art about to  do, for this man is a Roman;' 
44N 022:027 and the chief captain having come near, said to him, `Tell  me, art thou a Roman?' and he said, `Yes;' 
44N 022:028 and the chief captain answered, `I, with a great sum, did  obtain this citizenship;' but Paul said, `But I have been even  born [so].' 
44N 022:029 Immediately, therefore, they departed from him who are  about to examine him, and the chief captain also was afraid,  having learned that he is a Roman, and because he had bound  him, 
44N 022:030 and on the morrow, intending to know the certainty  wherefore he is accused by the Jews, he did loose him from the  bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all their sanhedrim  to come, and having brought down Paul, he set [him] before  them. 
44N 023:001 And Paul having earnestly beheld the sanhedrim, said, `Men,  brethren, I in all good conscience have lived to God unto this  day;' 
44N 023:002 and the chief priest Ananias commanded those standing by  him to smite him on the mouth, 
44N 023:003 then Paul said unto him, `God is about to smite thee, thou  whitewashed wall, and thou -- thou dost sit judging me  according to the law, and, violating law, dost order me to be  smitten!' 
44N 023:004 And those who stood by said, `The chief priest of God dost  thou revile?' 
44N 023:005 and Paul said, `I did not know, brethren, that he is chief  priest: for it hath been written, Of the ruler of thy people  thou shalt not speak evil;' 
44N 023:006 and Paul having known that the one part are Sadducees, and  the other Pharisees, cried out in the sanhedrim, `Men,  brethren, I am a Pharisee -- son of a Pharisee -- concerning  hope and rising again of dead men I am judged.' 
44N 023:007 And he having spoken this, there came a dissension of the  Pharisees and of the Sadducees, and the crowd was divided, 
44N 023:008 for Sadducees, indeed, say there is no rising again, nor  messenger, nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both. 
44N 023:009 And there came a great cry, and the scribes of the  Pharisees' part having arisen, were striving, saying, `No evil  do we find in this man; and if a spirit spake to him, or a  messenger, we may not fight against God;' 
44N 023:010 and a great dissension having come, the chief captain  having been afraid lest Paul may be pulled to pieces by them,  commanded the soldiery, having gone down, to take him by force  out of the midst of them, and to bring [him] to the castle. 
44N 023:011 And on the following night, the Lord having stood by him,  said, `Take courage, Paul, for as thou didst fully testify the  things concerning me at Jerusalem, so it behoveth thee also at  Rome to testify.' 
44N 023:012 And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a  concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat  nor to drink till they may kill Paul; 
44N 023:013 and they were more than forty who made this conspiracy by  oath, 
44N 023:014 who having come near to the chief priests and to the  elders said, `With an anathema we did anathematize ourselves --  to taste nothing till we have killed Paul; 
44N 023:015 now, therefore, ye, signify ye to the chief captain, with  the sanhedrim, that to-morrow he may bring him down unto you,  as being about to know more exactly the things concerning him;  and we, before his coming nigh, are ready to put him to  death.' 
44N 023:016 And the son of Paul's sister having heard of the lying in  wait, having gone and entered into the castle, told Paul, 
44N 023:017 and Paul having called near one of the centurions, said,  `This young man lead unto the chief captain, for he hath  something to tell him.' 
44N 023:018 He indeed, then, having taken him, brought him unto the  chief captain, and saith, `The prisoner Paul, having called me  near, asked [me] this young man to bring unto thee, having  something to say to thee.' 
44N 023:019 And the chief captain having taken him by the hand, and  having withdrawn by themselves, inquired, `What is that which  thou hast to tell me?' 
44N 023:020 and he said -- `The Jews agreed to request thee, that  to-morrow to the sanhedrim thou mayest bring down Paul, as  being about to enquire something more exactly concerning him; 
44N 023:021 thou, therefore, mayest thou not yield to them, for there  lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, who did  anathematize themselves -- not to eat nor to drink till they  kill him, and now they are ready, waiting for the promise from  thee.' 
44N 023:022 The chief captain, then, indeed, let the young man go,  having charged [him] to tell no one, `that these things thou  didst shew unto me;' 
44N 023:023 and having called near a certain two of the centurions, he  said, `Make ready soldiers two hundred, that they may go on  unto Caesarea, and horsemen seventy, and spearmen two hundred,  from the third hour of the night; 
44N 023:024 beasts also provide, that, having set Paul on, they may  bring him safe unto Felix the governor;' 
44N 023:025 he having written a letter after this description: 
44N 023:026 `Claudius Lysias, to the most noble governor Felix, hail: 
44N 023:027 This man having been taken by the Jews, and being about to  be killed by them -- having come with the soldiery, I rescued  him, having learned that he is a Roman; 
44N 023:028 and, intending to know the cause for which they were  accusing him, I brought him down to their sanhedrim, 
44N 023:029 whom I found accused concerning questions of their law,  and having no accusation worthy of death or bonds; 
44N 023:030 and a plot having been intimated to me against this man --  about to be of the Jews -- at once I sent unto thee, having  given command also to the accusers to say the things against  him before thee; be strong.' 
44N 023:031 Then, indeed, the soldiers according to that directed  them, having taken up Paul, brought him through the night to  Antipatris, 
44N 023:032 and on the morrow, having suffered the horsemen to go on  with him, they returned to the castle; 
44N 023:033 those having entered into Caesarea, and delivered the  letter to the governor, did present also Paul to him. 
44N 023:034 And the governor having read [it], and inquired of what  province he is, and understood that [he is] from Cilicia; 
44N 023:035 `I will hear thee -- said he -- when thine accusers also  may have come;' he also commanded him to be kept in the  praetorium of Herod. 
44N 024:001 And after five days came down the chief priest Ananias,  with the elders, and a certain orator -- Tertullus, and they  made manifest to the governor [the things] against Paul; 
44N 024:002 and he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him],  saying, `Much peace enjoying through thee, and worthy deeds  being done to this nation through thy forethought, 
44N 024:003 always, also, and everywhere we receive it, most noble  Felix, with all thankfulness; 
44N 024:004 and that I may not be further tedious to thee, I pray thee  to hear us concisely in thy gentleness; 
44N 024:005 for having found this man a pestilence, and moving a  dissension to all the Jews through the world -- a ringleader  also of the sect of the Nazarenes -- 
44N 024:006 who also the temple did try to profane, whom also we took,  and according to our law did wish to judge, 
44N 024:007 and Lysias the chief captain having come near, with much  violence, out of our hands did take away, 
44N 024:008 having commanded his accusers to come to thee, from whom  thou mayest be able, thyself having examined, to know  concerning all these things of which we accuse him;' 
44N 024:009 and the Jews also agreed, professing these things to be so. 
44N 024:010 And Paul answered -- the governor having beckoned to him  to speak -- `Knowing [that] for many years thou hast been a  judge to this nation, the more cheerfully the things concerning  myself I do answer; 
44N 024:011 thou being able to know that it is not more than twelve  days to me since I went up to worship in Jerusalem, 
44N 024:012 and neither in the temple did they find me reasoning with  any one, or making a dissension of the multitude, nor in the  synagogues, nor in the city; 
44N 024:013 nor are they able to prove against me the things  concerning which they now accuse me. 
44N 024:014 `And I confess this to thee, that, according to the way  that they call a sect, so serve I the God of the fathers,  believing all things that in the law and the prophets have  been written, 
44N 024:015 having hope toward God, which they themselves also wait  for, [that] there is about to be a rising again of the dead,  both of righteous and unrighteous; 
44N 024:016 and in this I do exercise myself, to have a conscience  void of offence toward God and men always. 
44N 024:017 `And after many years I came, about to do kind acts to my  nation, and offerings, 
44N 024:018 in which certain Jews from Asia did find me purified in  the temple, not with multitude, nor with tumult, 
44N 024:019 whom it behoveth to be present before thee, and to accuse,  if they had anything against me, 
44N 024:020 or let these same say if they found any unrighteousness in  me in my standing before the sanhedrim, 
44N 024:021 except concerning this one voice, in which I cried,  standing among them -- Concerning a rising again of the dead I  am judged to-day by you.' 
44N 024:022 And having heard these things, Felix delayed them --  having known more exactly of the things concerning the way --  saying, `When Lysias the chief captain may come down, I will  know fully the things concerning you;' 
44N 024:023 having given also a direction to the centurion to keep  Paul, to let [him] also have liberty, and to forbid none of his  own friends to minister or to come near to him. 
44N 024:024 And after certain days, Felix having come with Drusilla  his wife, being a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him  concerning the faith toward Christ, 
44N 024:025 and he reasoning concerning righteousness, and temperance,  and the judgment that is about to be, Felix, having become  afraid, answered, `For the present be going, and having got  time, I will call for thee;' 
44N 024:026 and at the same time also hoping that money shall be given  to him by Paul, that he may release him, therefore, also  sending for him the oftener, he was conversing with him; 
44N 024:027 and two years having been fulfilled, Felix received a  successor, Porcius Festus; Felix also willing to lay a favour  on the Jews, left Paul bound. 
44N 025:001 Festus, therefore, having come into the province, after  three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea, 
44N 025:002 and the chief priest and the principal men of the Jews made  manifest to him [the things] against Paul, and were calling on  him, 
44N 025:003 asking favour against him, that he may send for him to  Jerusalem, making an ambush to put him to death in the way. 
44N 025:004 Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is kept in  Caesarea, and himself is about speedily to go on thither, 
44N 025:005 `Therefore those able among you -- saith he -- having come  down together, if there be anything in this man -- let them  accuse him;' 
44N 025:006 and having tarried among them more than ten days, having  gone down to Caesarea, on the morrow having sat upon the  tribunal, he commanded Paul to be brought; 
44N 025:007 and he having come, there stood round about the Jews who  have come down from Jerusalem -- many and weighty charges they  are bringing against Paul, which they were not able to prove, 
44N 025:008 he making defence -- `Neither in regard to the law of the  Jews, nor in regard to the temple, nor in regard to Caesar --  did I commit any sin.' 
44N 025:009 And Festus willing to lay on the Jews a favour, answering  Paul, said, `Art thou willing, to Jerusalem having gone up,  there concerning these things to be judged before me?' 
44N 025:010 and Paul said, `At the tribunal of Caesar I am standing,  where it behoveth me to be judged; to Jews I did no  unrighteousness, as thou dost also very well know; 
44N 025:011 for if indeed I am unrighteous, and anything worthy of  death have done, I deprecate not to die; and if there is none  of the things of which these accuse me, no one is able to make  a favour of me to them; to Caesar I appeal!' 
44N 025:012 then Festus, having communed with the council, answered,  `To Caesar thou hast appealed; to Caesar thou shalt go.' 
44N 025:013 And certain days having passed, Agrippa the king, and  Bernice, came down to Caesarea saluting Festus, 
44N 025:014 and as they were continuing there more days, Festus  submitted to the king the things concerning Paul, saying,  `There is a certain man, left by Felix, a prisoner, 
44N 025:015 about whom, in my being at Jerusalem, the chief priests  and the elders of the Jews laid information, asking a decision  against him, 
44N 025:016 unto whom I answered, that it is not a custom of Romans to  make a favour of any man to die, before that he who is accused  may have the accusers face to face, and may receive place of  defence in regard to the charge laid against [him]. 
44N 025:017 `They, therefore, having come together -- I, making no  delay, on the succeeding [day] having sat upon the tribunal,  did command the man to be brought, 
44N 025:018 concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were  bringing against [him] no accusation of the things I was  thinking of, 
44N 025:019 but certain questions concerning their own religion they  had against him, and concerning a certain Jesus who was dead,  whom Paul affirmed to be alive; 
44N 025:020 and I, doubting in regard to the question concerning this,  said, If he would wish to go on to Jerusalem, and there to be  judged concerning these things -- 
44N 025:021 but Paul having appealed to be kept to the hearing of  Sebastus, I did command him to be kept till I might send him  unto Caesar.' 
44N 025:022 And Agrippa said unto Festus, `I was wishing also myself  to hear the man;' and he said, `To-morrow thou shalt hear him;' 
44N 025:023 on the morrow, therefore -- on the coming of Agrippa and  Bernice with much display, and they having entered into the  audience chamber, with the chief captains also, and the  principal men of the city, and Festus having ordered -- Paul  was brought forth. 
44N 025:024 And Festus said, `King Agrippa, and all men who are  present with us, ye see this one, about whom all the multitude  of the Jews did deal with me, both in Jerusalem and here,  crying out, He ought not to live any longer; 
44N 025:025 and I, having found him to have done nothing worthy of  death, and he also himself having appealed to Sebastus, I  decided to send him, 
44N 025:026 concerning whom I have no certain thing to write to [my]  lord, wherefore I brought him forth before you, and specially  before thee, king Agrippa, that the examination having been  made, I may have something to write; 
44N 025:027 for it doth seem to me irrational, sending a prisoner, not  also to signify the charges against him.' 
44N 026:001 And Agrippa said unto Paul, `It is permitted to thee to  speak for thyself;' then Paul having stretched forth the hand,  was making a defence: 
44N 026:002 `Concerning all things of which I am accused by Jews, king  Agrippa, I have thought myself happy, being about to make a  defence before thee to-day, 
44N 026:003 especially knowing thee to be acquainted with all things --  both customs and questions -- among Jews; wherefore, I beseech  thee, patiently to hear me. 
44N 026:004 `The manner of my life then, indeed, from youth -- which  from the beginning was among my nation, in Jerusalem -- know do  all the Jews, 
44N 026:005 knowing me before from the first, (if they may be willing  to testify,) that after the most exact sect of our worship, I  lived a Pharisee; 
44N 026:006 and now for the hope of the promise made to the fathers by  God, I have stood judged, 
44N 026:007 to which our twelve tribes, intently night and day serving,  do hope to come, concerning which hope I am accused, king  Agrippa, by the Jews; 
44N 026:008 why is it judged incredible with you, if God doth raise the  dead? 
44N 026:009 `I, indeed, therefore, thought with myself, that against  the name of Jesus of Nazareth it behoved [me] many things to  do, 
44N 026:010 which also I did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I in  prison did shut up, from the chief priests having received the  authority; they also being put to death, I gave my vote against  them, 
44N 026:011 and in every synagogue, often punishing them, I was  constraining [them] to speak evil, being also exceedingly mad  against them, I was also persecuting [them] even unto strange  cities. 
44N 026:012 `In which things, also, going on to Damascus -- with  authority and commission from the chief priests -- 
44N 026:013 at mid-day, I saw in the way, O king, out of heaven, above  the brightness of the sun, shining round about me a light --  and those going on with me; 
44N 026:014 and we all having fallen to the earth, I heard a voice  speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew dialect, Saul, Saul,  why me dost thou persecute? hard for thee against pricks to  kick! 
44N 026:015 `And I said, Who art thou, Lord? and he said, I am Jesus  whom thou dost persecute; 
44N 026:016 but rise, and stand upon thy feet, for for this I appeared  to thee, to appoint thee an officer and a witness both of the  things thou didst see, and of the things [in which] I will  appear to thee, 
44N 026:017 delivering thee from the people, and the nations, to whom  now I send thee, 
44N 026:018 to open their eyes, to turn [them] from darkness to light,  and [from] the authority of the Adversary unto God, for their  receiving forgiveness of sins, and a lot among those having  been sanctified, by faith that [is] toward me. 
44N 026:019 `Whereupon, king Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the  heavenly vision, 
44N 026:020 but to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem,  to all the region also of Judea, and to the nations, I was  preaching to reform, and to turn back unto God, doing works  worthy of reformation; 
44N 026:021 because of these things the Jews -- having caught me in  the temple -- were endeavouring to kill [me]. 
44N 026:022 `Having obtained, therefore, help from God, till this day,  I have stood witnessing both to small and to great, saying  nothing besides the things that both the prophets and Moses  spake of as about to come, 
44N 026:023 that the Christ is to suffer, whether first by a rising  from the dead, he is about to proclaim light to the people and  to the nations.' 
44N 026:024 And, he thus making a defence, Festus with a loud voice  said, `Thou art mad, Paul; much learning doth turn thee mad;' 
44N 026:025 and he saith, `I am not mad, most noble Festus, but of  truth and soberness the sayings I speak forth; 
44N 026:026 for the king doth know concerning these things, before  whom also I speak boldly, for none of these things, I am  persuaded, are hidden from him; for this thing hath not been  done in a corner; 
44N 026:027 thou dost believe, king Agrippa, the prophets? I have  known that thou dost believe!' 
44N 026:028 And Agrippa said unto Paul, `In a little thou dost  persuade me to become a Christian!' 
44N 026:029 and Paul said, `I would have wished to God, both in a  little, and in much, not only thee, but also all those hearing  me to-day, to become such as I also am -- except these bonds.' 
44N 026:030 And, he having spoken these things, the king rose up, and  the governor, Bernice also, and those sitting with them, 
44N 026:031 and having withdrawn, they were speaking unto one another,  saying -- `This man doth nothing worthy of death or of bonds;' 
44N 026:032 and Agrippa said to Festus, `This man might have been  released if he had not appealed to Caesar.' 
44N 027:001 And when our sailing to Italy was determined, they were  delivering up both Paul and certain others, prisoners, to a  centurion, by name Julius, of the band of Sebastus, 
44N 027:002 and having embarked in a ship of Adramyttium, we, being  about to sail by the coasts of Asia, did set sail, there being  with us Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, 
44N 027:003 on the next [day] also we touched at Sidon, and Julius,  courteously treating Paul, did permit [him], having gone on  unto friends, to receive [their] care. 
44N 027:004 And thence, having set sail, we sailed under Cyprus,  because of the winds being contrary, 
44N 027:005 and having sailed over the sea over-against Cilicia and  Pamphylia, we came to Myria of Lycia, 
44N 027:006 and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria,  sailing to Italy, did put us into it, 
44N 027:007 and having sailed slowly many days, and with difficulty  coming over-against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we  sailed under Crete, over-against Salmone, 
44N 027:008 and hardly passing it, we came to a certain place called  `Fair Havens,' nigh to which was the city [of] Lasaea. 
44N 027:009 And much time being spent, and the sailing being now  dangerous -- because of the fast also being already past --  Paul was admonishing, 
44N 027:010 saying to them, `Men, I perceive that with hurt, and much  damage, not only of the lading and of the ship, but also of  our lives -- the voyage is about to be;' 
44N 027:011 but the centurion to the pilot and to the shipowner gave  credence more than to the things spoken by Paul; 
44N 027:012 and the haven being incommodious to winter in, the more  part gave counsel to sail thence also, if by any means they  might be able, having attained to Phenice, [there] to winter,  [which is] a haven of Crete, looking to the south-west and  north-west, 
44N 027:013 and a south wind blowing softly, having thought they had  obtained [their] purpose, having lifted anchor, they sailed  close by Crete, 
44N 027:014 and not long after there arose against it a tempestuous  wind, that is called Euroclydon, 
44N 027:015 and the ship being caught, and not being able to bear up  against the wind, having given [her] up, we were borne on, 
44N 027:016 and having run under a certain little isle, called Clauda,  we were hardly able to become masters of the boat, 
44N 027:017 which having taken up, they were using helps, undergirding  the ship, and fearing lest they may fall on the quicksand,  having let down the mast -- so were borne on. 
44N 027:018 And we, being exceedingly tempest-tossed, the succeeding  [day] they were making a clearing, 
44N 027:019 and on the third [day] with our own hands the tackling of  the ship we cast out, 
44N 027:020 and neither sun nor stars appearing for more days, and not  a little tempest lying upon us, thenceforth all hope was taken  away of our being saved. 
44N 027:021 And there having been long fasting, then Paul having stood  in the midst of them, said, `It behoved [you], indeed, O men  -- having hearkened to me -- not to set sail from Crete, and to  save this hurt and damage; 
44N 027:022 and now I exhort you to be of good cheer, for there shall  be no loss of life among you -- but of the ship; 
44N 027:023 for there stood by me this night a messenger of God --  whose I am, and whom I serve -- 
44N 027:024 saying, Be not afraid Paul; before Caesar it behoveth thee  to stand; and, lo, God hath granted to thee all those sailing  with thee; 
44N 027:025 wherefore be of good cheer, men! for I believe God, that  so it shall be, even as it hath been spoken to me, 
44N 027:026 and on a certain island it behoveth us to be cast.' 
44N 027:027 And when the fourteenth night came -- we being borne up  and down in the Adria -- toward the middle of the night the  sailors were supposing that some country drew nigh to them; 
44N 027:028 and having sounded they found twenty fathoms, and having  gone a little farther, and again having sounded, they found  fifteen fathoms, 
44N 027:029 and fearing lest on rough places we may fall, out of the  stern having cast four anchors, they were wishing day to come. 
44N 027:030 And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship, and  having let down the boat to the sea, in pretence as [if] out of  the foreship they are about to cast anchors, 
44N 027:031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, `If these  do not remain in the ship -- ye are not able to be saved;' 
44N 027:032 then the soldiers did cut off the ropes of the boat, and  suffered it to fall off. 
44N 027:033 And till the day was about to be, Paul was calling upon  all to partake of nourishment, saying, `Fourteen days to-day,  waiting, ye continue fasting, having taken nothing, 
44N 027:034 wherefore I call upon you to take nourishment, for this is  for your safety, for of not one of you shall a hair from the  head fall;' 
44N 027:035 and having said these things, and having taken bread, he  gave thanks to God before all, and having broken [it], he began  to eat; 
44N 027:036 and all having become of good cheer, themselves also took  food, 
44N 027:037 (and we were -- all the souls in the ship -- two hundred,  seventy and six), 
44N 027:038 and having eaten sufficient nourishment, they were  lightening the ship, casting forth the wheat into the sea. 
44N 027:039 And when the day came, they were not discerning the land,  but a certain creek were perceiving having a beach, into which  they took counsel, if possible, to thrust forward the ship, 
44N 027:040 and the anchors having taken up, they were committing [it]  to the sea, at the same time -- having loosed the bands of the  rudders, and having hoisted up the mainsail to the wind -- they  were making for the shore, 
44N 027:041 and having fallen into a place of two seas, they ran the  ship aground, and the fore-part, indeed, having stuck fast,  did remain immoveable, but the hinder-part was broken by the  violence of the waves. 
44N 027:042 And the soldiers' counsel was that they should kill the  prisoners, lest any one having swam out should escape, 
44N 027:043 but the centurion, wishing to save Paul, hindered them  from the counsel, and did command those able to swim, having  cast themselves out first -- to get unto the land, 
44N 027:044 and the rest, some indeed upon boards, and some upon  certain things of the ship; and thus it came to pass that all  came safe unto the land. 
44N 028:001 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is  called Melita, 
44N 028:002 and the foreigners were shewing us no ordinary kindness,  for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the  pressing rain, and because of the cold; 
44N 028:003 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and  having laid [them] upon the fire, a viper -- out of the heat  having come -- did fasten on his hand. 
44N 028:004 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his  hand, they said unto one another, `Certainly this man is a  murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice  did not suffer to live;' 
44N 028:005 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire,  suffered no evil, 
44N 028:006 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or  to fall down suddenly dead, and they, expecting [it] a long  time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing  [their] minds, said he was a god. 
44N 028:007 And in the neighbourhood of that place were lands of the  principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having  received us, three days did courteously lodge [us]; 
44N 028:008 and it came to pass, the father of Publius with feverish  heats and dysentery pressed, was laid, unto whom Paul having  entered, and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him,  healed him; 
44N 028:009 this, therefore, being done, the others also in the island  having infirmities were coming and were healed; 
44N 028:010 who also with many honours did honour us, and we setting  sail -- they were lading [us] with the things that were  necessary. 
44N 028:011 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had  wintered in the isle) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri, 
44N 028:012 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days, 
44N 028:013 thence having gone round, we came to Rhegium, and after  one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we  came to Puteoli; 
44N 028:014 where, having found brethren, we were called upon to  remain with them seven days, and thus to Rome we came; 
44N 028:015 and thence, the brethren having heard the things  concerning us, came forth to meet us, unto Appii Forum, and  Three Taverns -- whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to  God, took courage. 
44N 028:016 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the  prisoners to the captain of the barrack, but Paul was suffered  to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him. 
44N 028:017 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together  those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having  come together, he said unto them: `Men, brethren, I -- having  done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the  fathers -- a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up to the  hands of the Romans; 
44N 028:018 who, having examined me, were wishing to release [me],  because of their being no cause of death in me, 
44N 028:019 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained  to appeal unto Caesar -- not as having anything to accuse my  nation of; 
44N 028:020 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to  speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel with this  chain I am bound.' 
44N 028:021 And they said unto him, `We did neither receive letters  concerning thee from Judea, nor did any one who came of the  brethren declare or speak any evil concerning thee, 
44N 028:022 and we think it good from thee to hear what thou dost  think, for, indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that  everywhere it is spoken against;' 
44N 028:023 and having appointed him a day, they came, more of them  unto him, to the lodging, to whom he was expounding, testifying  fully the reign of God, persuading them also of the things  concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets,  from morning till evening, 
44N 028:024 and, some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and  some were not believing. 
44N 028:025 And not being agreed with one another, they were going  away, Paul having spoken one word -- `Well did the Holy Spirit  speak through Isaiah the prophet unto our fathers, 
44N 028:026 saying, Go on unto this people and say, With hearing ye  shall hear, and ye shall not understand, and seeing ye shall  see, and ye shall not perceive, 
44N 028:027 for made gross was the heart of this people, and with the  ears they heard heavily, and their eyes they did close, lest  they may see with the eyes, and with the heart may understand,  and be turned back, and I may heal them. 
44N 028:028 `Be it known, therefore, to you, that to the nations was  sent the salvation of God, these also will hear it;' 
44N 028:029 and he having said these things, the Jews went away,  having much disputation among themselves; 
44N 028:030 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired  [house], and was receiving all those coming in unto him, 
44N 028:031 preaching the reign of God, and teaching the things  concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness --  unforbidden.  
45N 001:001 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having  been separated to the good news of God -- 
45N 001:002 which He announced before through His prophets in holy  writings -- 
45N 001:003 concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David  according to the flesh, 
45N 001:004 who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the  Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,)  Jesus Christ our Lord; 
45N 001:005 through whom we did receive grace and apostleship, for  obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his  name; 
45N 001:006 among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ; 
45N 001:007 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace  to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
45N 001:008 first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you  all, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world; 
45N 001:009 for God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the good  news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you, 
45N 001:010 always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at  length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God,  to come unto you, 
45N 001:011 for I long to see you, that I may impart to you some  spiritual gift, that ye may be established; 
45N 001:012 and that is, that I may be comforted together among you,  through the faith in one another, both yours and mine. 
45N 001:013 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many  times I did purpose to come unto you -- and was hindered till  the present time -- that some fruit I might have also among  you, even as also among the other nations. 
45N 001:014 Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to  thoughtless, I am a debtor, 
45N 001:015 so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are]  in Rome to proclaim good news, 
45N 001:016 for I am not ashamed of the good news of the Christ, for it  is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing,  both to Jew first, and to Greek. 
45N 001:017 For the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith  to faith, according as it hath been written, `And the righteous  one by faith shall live,' 
45N 001:018 for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all  impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding down the truth in  unrighteousness. 
45N 001:019 Because that which is known of God is manifest among them,  for God did manifest [it] to them, 
45N 001:020 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the  world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen,  both His eternal power and Godhead -- to their being  inexcusable; 
45N 001:021 because, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as  God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings,  and their unintelligent heart was darkened, 
45N 001:022 professing to be wise, they were made fools, 
45N 001:023 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the  likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of  quadrupeds, and of reptiles. 
45N 001:024 Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of  their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among  themselves; 
45N 001:025 who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did  honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is  blessed to the ages. Amen. 
45N 001:026 Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable  affections, for even their females did change the natural use  into that against nature; 
45N 001:027 and in like manner also the males having left the natural  use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one  another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of  their error that was fit, in themselves receiving. 
45N 001:028 And, according as they did not approve of having God in  knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the  things not seemly; 
45N 001:029 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom,  wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife,  deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers, 
45N 001:030 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters,  inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 
45N 001:031 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection,  implacable, unmerciful; 
45N 001:032 who the righteous judgment of God having known -- that  those practising such things are worthy of death -- not only do  them, but also have delight with those practising them. 
45N 002:001 Therefore, thou art inexcusable, O man -- every one who is  judging -- for in that in which thou dost judge the other,  thyself thou dost condemn, for the same things thou dost  practise who art judging, 
45N 002:002 and we have known that the judgment of God is according to  truth, upon those practising such things. 
45N 002:003 And dost thou think this, O man, who art judging those who  such things are practising, and art doing them, that thou  shalt escape the judgment of God? 
45N 002:004 or the riches of His goodness, and forbearance, and  long-suffering, dost thou despise? -- not knowing that the  goodness of God doth lead thee to reformation! 
45N 002:005 but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou  dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of  the revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 
45N 002:006 who shall render to each according to his works; 
45N 002:007 to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek  glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during; 
45N 002:008 and to those contentious, and disobedient, indeed, to the  truth, and obeying the unrighteousness -- indignation and  wrath, 
45N 002:009 tribulation and distress, upon every soul of man that is  working the evil, both of Jew first, and of Greek; 
45N 002:010 and glory, and honour, and peace, to every one who is  working the good, both to Jew first, and to Greek. 
45N 002:011 For there is no acceptance of faces with God, 
45N 002:012 for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall  perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be  judged, 
45N 002:013 for not the hearers of the law [are] righteous before God,  but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: -- 
45N 002:014 For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the  things of the law, these not having a law -- to themselves are  a law; 
45N 002:015 who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts,  their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one  another the thoughts accusing or else defending, 
45N 002:016 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men,  according to my good news, through Jesus Christ. 
45N 002:017 Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and  dost boast in God, 
45N 002:018 and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions,  being instructed out of the law, 
45N 002:019 and hast confidence that thou thyself art a leader of blind  ones, a light of those in darkness, 
45N 002:020 an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having  the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law. 
45N 002:021 Thou, then, who art teaching another, thyself dost thou not  teach? 
45N 002:022 thou who art preaching not to steal, dost thou steal? thou  who art saying not to commit adultery, dost thou commit  adultery? thou who art abhorring the idols, dost thou rob  temples? 
45N 002:023 thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression  of the law God dost thou dishonour? 
45N 002:024 for the name of God because of you is evil spoken of among  the nations, according as it hath been written. 
45N 002:025 For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest  practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy  circumcision hath become uncircumcision. 
45N 002:026 If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the  law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be  reckoned? 
45N 002:027 and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law,  shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, [art] a  transgressor of law. 
45N 002:028 For he is not a Jew who is [so] outwardly, neither [is]  circumcision that which is outward in flesh; 
45N 002:029 but a Jew [is] he who is [so] inwardly, and circumcision  [is] of the heart, in spirit, not in letter, of which the  praise is not of men, but of God. 
45N 003:001 What, then, [is] the superiority of the Jew? or what the  profit of the circumcision? 
45N 003:002 much in every way; for first, indeed, that they were  intrusted with the oracles of God; 
45N 003:003 for what, if certain were faithless? shall their  faithlessness the faithfulness of god make useless? 
45N 003:004 let it not be! and let God become true, and every man false,  according as it hath been written, `That Thou mayest be  declared righteous in Thy words, and mayest overcome in Thy  being judged.' 
45N 003:005 And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth  establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is  inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak) 
45N 003:006 let it not be! since how shall God judge the world? 
45N 003:007 for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to  His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged? 
45N 003:008 and not, as we are evil spoken of, and as certain affirm us  to say -- `We may do the evil things, that the good ones may  come?' whose judgment is righteous. 
45N 003:009 What, then? are we better? not at all! for we did before  charge both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin, 
45N 003:010 according as it hath been written -- `There is none  righteous, not even one; 
45N 003:011 There is none who is understanding, there is none who is  seeking after God. 
45N 003:012 All did go out of the way, together they became  unprofitable, there is none doing good, there is not even one. 
45N 003:013 A sepulchre opened [is] their throat; with their tongues  they used deceit; poison of asps [is] under their lips. 
45N 003:014 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. 
45N 003:015 Swift [are] their feet to shed blood. 
45N 003:016 Ruin and misery [are] in their ways. 
45N 003:017 And a way of peace they did not know. 
45N 003:018 There is no fear of God before their eyes.' 
45N 003:019 And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to  those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be  stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God; 
45N 003:020 wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared  righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin. 
45N 003:021 And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been  manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets, 
45N 003:022 and the righteousness of God [is] through the faith of  Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for  there is no difference, 
45N 003:023 for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God -- 
45N 003:024 being declared righteous freely by His grace through the  redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus, 
45N 003:025 whom God did set forth a mercy seat, through the faith in  his blood, for the shewing forth of His righteousness, because  of the passing over of the bygone sins in the forbearance of  God -- 
45N 003:026 for the shewing forth of His righteousness in the present  time, for His being righteous, and declaring him righteous who  [is] of the faith of Jesus. 
45N 003:027 Where then [is] the boasting? it was excluded; by what law?  of works? no, but by a law of faith: 
45N 003:028 therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by  faith, apart from works of law. 
45N 003:029 The God of Jews only [is He], and not also of nations? 
45N 003:030 yes, also of nations; since one [is] God who shall declare  righteous the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision  through the faith. 
45N 003:031 Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not  be! yea, we do establish law. 
45N 004:001 What, then, shall we say Abraham our father, to have found,  according to flesh? 
45N 004:002 for if Abraham by works was declared righteous, he hath to  boast -- but not before god; 
45N 004:003 for what doth the writing say? `And Abraham did believe God,  and it was reckoned to him -- to righteousness;' 
45N 004:004 and to him who is working, the reward is not reckoned of  grace, but of debt; 
45N 004:005 and to him who is not working, and is believing upon Him who  is declaring righteous the impious, his faith is reckoned -- to  righteousness: 
45N 004:006 even as David also doth speak of the happiness of the man to  whom God doth reckon righteousness apart from works: 
45N 004:007 `Happy they whose lawless acts were forgiven, and whose sins  were covered; 
45N 004:008 happy the man to whom the Lord may not reckon sin.' 
45N 004:009 [Is] this happiness, then, upon the circumcision, or also  upon the uncircumcision -- for we say that the faith was  reckoned to Abraham -- to righteousness? 
45N 004:010 how then was it reckoned? he being in circumcision, or in  uncircumcision? not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision; 
45N 004:011 and a sign he did receive of circumcision, a seal of the  righteousness of the faith in the uncircumcision, for his being  father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the  righteousness also being reckoned to them, 
45N 004:012 and father of circumcision to those not of circumcision  only, but who also walk in the steps of the faith, that [is] in  the uncircumcision of our father Abraham. 
45N 004:013 For not through law [is] the promise to Abraham, or to his  seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the  righteousness of faith; 
45N 004:014 for if they who are of law [are] heirs, the faith hath been  made void, and the promise hath been made useless; 
45N 004:015 for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither  [is] transgression. 
45N 004:016 Because of this [it is] of faith, that [it may be]  according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the  seed, not to that which [is] of the law only, but also to that  which [is] of the faith of Abraham, 
45N 004:017 who is father of us all (according as it hath been written  -- `A father of many nations I have set thee,') before Him  whom he did believe -- God, who is quickening the dead, and is  calling the things that be not as being. 
45N 004:018 Who, against hope in hope did believe, for his becoming  father of many nations according to that spoken: `So shall thy  seed be;' 
45N 004:019 and not having been weak in the faith, he did not consider  his own body, already become dead, (being about a hundred  years old,) and the deadness of Sarah's womb, 
45N 004:020 and at the promise of God did not stagger in unbelief, but  was strengthened in faith, having given glory to God, 
45N 004:021 and having been fully persuaded that what He hath promised  He is able also to do: 
45N 004:022 wherefore also it was reckoned to him to righteousness. 
45N 004:023 And it was not written on his account alone, that it was  reckoned to him, 
45N 004:024 but also on ours, to whom it is about to be reckoned -- to  us believing on Him who did raise up Jesus our Lord out of the  dead, 
45N 004:025 who was delivered up because of our offences, and was  raised up because of our being declared righteous. 
45N 005:001 Having been declared righteous, then, by faith, we have  peace toward God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
45N 005:002 through whom also we have the access by the faith into this  grace in which we have stood, and we boast on the hope of the  glory of God. 
45N 005:003 And not only [so], but we also boast in the tribulations,  knowing that the tribulation doth work endurance; 
45N 005:004 and the endurance, experience; and the experience, hope; 
45N 005:005 and the hope doth not make ashamed, because the love of God  hath been poured forth in our hearts through the Holy Spirit  that hath been given to us. 
45N 005:006 For in our being still ailing, Christ in due time did die  for the impious; 
45N 005:007 for scarcely for a righteous man will any one die, for for  the good man perhaps some one also doth dare to die; 
45N 005:008 and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being  still sinners, Christ did die for us; 
45N 005:009 much more, then, having been declared righteous now in his  blood, we shall be saved through him from the wrath; 
45N 005:010 for if, being enemies, we have been reconciled to God  through the death of His Son, much more, having been  reconciled, we shall be saved in his life. 
45N 005:011 And not only [so], but we are also boasting in God, through  our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the  reconciliation; 
45N 005:012 because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter  into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all  men the death did pass through, for that all did sin; 
45N 005:013 for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned  when there is not law; 
45N 005:014 but the death did reign from Adam till Moses, even upon  those not having sinned in the likeness of Adam's  transgression, who is a type of him who is coming. 
45N 005:015 But, not as the offence so also [is] the free gift; for if  by the offence of the one the many did die, much more did the  grace of God, and the free gift in grace of the one man Jesus  Christ, abound to the many; 
45N 005:016 and not as through one who did sin [is] the free gift, for  the judgment indeed [is] of one to condemnation, but the gift  [is] of many offences to a declaration of `Righteous,' 
45N 005:017 for if by the offence of the one the death did reign  through the one, much more those, who the abundance of the  grace and of the free gift of the righteousness are receiving,  in life shall reign through the one -- Jesus Christ. 
45N 005:018 So, then, as through one offence to all men [it is] to  condemnation, so also through one declaration of `Righteous'  [it is] to all men to justification of life; 
45N 005:019 for as through the disobedience of the one man, the many  were constituted sinners: so also through the obedience of the  one, shall the many be constituted righteous. 
45N 005:020 And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where  the sin did abound, the grace did overabound, 
45N 005:021 that even as the sin did reign in the death, so also the  grace may reign, through righteousness, to life age-during,  through Jesus Christ our Lord. 
45N 006:001 What, then, shall we say? shall we continue in the sin that  the grace may abound? 
45N 006:002 let it not be! we who died to the sin -- how shall we still  live in it? 
45N 006:003 are ye ignorant that we, as many as were baptized to Christ  Jesus, to his death were baptized? 
45N 006:004 we were buried together, then, with him through the baptism  to the death, that even as Christ was raised up out of the  dead through the glory of the Father, so also we in newness of  life might walk. 
45N 006:005 For, if we have become planted together to the likeness of  his death, [so] also we shall be of the rising again; 
45N 006:006 this knowing, that our old man was crucified with [him],  that the body of the sin may be made useless, for our no  longer serving the sin; 
45N 006:007 for he who hath died hath been set free from the sin. 
45N 006:008 And if we died with Christ, we believe that we also shall  live with him, 
45N 006:009 knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead,  doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship; 
45N 006:010 for in that he died, to the sin he died once, and in that  he liveth, he liveth to God; 
45N 006:011 so also ye, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to the sin,  and living to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. 
45N 006:012 Let not then the sin reign in your mortal body, to obey it  in its desires; 
45N 006:013 neither present ye your members instruments of  unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as  living out of the dead, and your members instruments of  righteousness to God; 
45N 006:014 for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not  under law, but under grace. 
45N 006:015 What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but  under grace? let it not be! 
45N 006:016 have ye not known that to whom ye present yourselves  servants for obedience, servants ye are to him to whom ye  obey, whether of sin to death, or of obedience to  righteousness? 
45N 006:017 and thanks to God, that ye were servants of the sin, and --  were obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which  ye were delivered up; 
45N 006:018 and having been freed from the sin, ye became servants to  the righteousness. 
45N 006:019 In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of  your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to  the uncleanness and to the lawlessness -- to the lawlessness,  so now present your members servants to the righteousness -- to  sanctification, 
45N 006:020 for when ye were servants of the sin, ye were free from the  righteousness, 
45N 006:021 what fruit, therefore, were ye having then, in the things  of which ye are now ashamed? for the end of those [is] death. 
45N 006:022 And now, having been freed from the sin, and having become  servants to God, ye have your fruit -- to sanctification, and  the end life age-during; 
45N 006:023 for the wages of the sin [is] death, and the gift of God  [is] life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
45N 007:001 Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I  speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he  liveth? 
45N 007:002 for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound  by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from  the law of the husband; 
45N 007:003 so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall  be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband  may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an  adulteress, having become another man's. 
45N 007:004 So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law  through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's,  who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to  God; 
45N 007:005 for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins,  that [are] through the law, were working in our members, to  bear fruit to the death; 
45N 007:006 and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in  which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit,  and not in oldness of letter. 
45N 007:007 What, then, shall we say? the law [is] sin? let it not be!  but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the  covetousness I had not known if the law had not said: 
45N 007:008 `Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an  opportunity, through the command, did work in me all  covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead. 
45N 007:009 And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having  come, the sin revived, and I died; 
45N 007:010 and the command that [is] for life, this was found by me  for death; 
45N 007:011 for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the  command, did deceive me, and through it did slay [me]; 
45N 007:012 so that the law, indeed, [is] holy, and the command holy,  and righteous, and good. 
45N 007:013 That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it  not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the  good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding  sinful through the command, 
45N 007:014 for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am  fleshly, sold by the sin; 
45N 007:015 for that which I work, I do not acknowledge; for not what I  will, this I practise, but what I hate, this I do. 
45N 007:016 And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law  that [it is] good, 
45N 007:017 and now it is no longer I that work it, but the sin  dwelling in me, 
45N 007:018 for I have known that there doth not dwell in me, that is,  in my flesh, good: for to will is present with me, and to work  that which is right I do not find, 
45N 007:019 for the good that I will, I do not; but the evil that I do  not will, this I practise. 
45N 007:020 And if what I do not will, this I do, it is no longer I  that work it, but the sin that is dwelling in me. 
45N 007:021 I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is  right, with me the evil is present, 
45N 007:022 for I delight in the law of God according to the inward  man, 
45N 007:023 and I behold another law in my members, warring against the  law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of  the sin that [is] in my members. 
45N 007:024 A wretched man I [am]! who shall deliver me out of the body  of this death? 
45N 007:025 I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I  myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with  the flesh, the law of sin. 
45N 008:001 There is, then, now no condemnation to those in Christ  Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to  the Spirit; 
45N 008:002 for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did  set me free from the law of the sin and of the death; 
45N 008:003 for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak  through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the  likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in  the flesh, 
45N 008:004 that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us,  who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the  Spirit. 
45N 008:005 For those who are according to the flesh, the things of the  flesh do mind; and those according to the Spirit, the things of  the Spirit; 
45N 008:006 for the mind of the flesh [is] death, and the mind of the  Spirit -- life and peace; 
45N 008:007 because the mind of the flesh [is] enmity to God, for to the  law of God it doth not subject itself, 
45N 008:008 for neither is it able; and those who are in the flesh are  not able to please God. 
45N 008:009 And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed  the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not  the Spirit of Christ -- this one is not His; 
45N 008:010 and if Christ [is] in you, the body, indeed, [is] dead  because of sin, and the Spirit [is] life because of  righteousness, 
45N 008:011 and if the Spirit of Him who did raise up Jesus out of the  dead doth dwell in you, He who did raise up the Christ out of  the dead shall quicken also your dying bodies, through His  Spirit dwelling in you. 
45N 008:012 So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to  live according to the flesh; 
45N 008:013 for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to  die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to  death, ye shall live; 
45N 008:014 for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the  sons of God; 
45N 008:015 for ye did not receive a spirit of bondage again for fear,  but ye did receive a spirit of adoption in which we cry, `Abba  -- Father.' 
45N 008:016 The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we  are children of God; 
45N 008:017 and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and  heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together,  that we may also be glorified together. 
45N 008:018 For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are]  not worthy [to be compared] with the glory about to be revealed  in us; 
45N 008:019 for the earnest looking out of the creation doth expect the  revelation of the sons of God; 
45N 008:020 for to vanity was the creation made subject -- not of its  will, but because of Him who did subject [it] -- in hope, 
45N 008:021 that also the creation itself shall be set free from the  servitude of the corruption to the liberty of the glory of the  children of God; 
45N 008:022 for we have known that all the creation doth groan  together, and doth travail in pain together till now. 
45N 008:023 And not only [so], but also we ourselves, having the  first-fruit of the Spirit, we also ourselves in ourselves do  groan, adoption expecting -- the redemption of our body; 
45N 008:024 for in hope we were saved, and hope beheld is not hope; for  what any one doth behold, why also doth he hope for [it]? 
45N 008:025 and if what we do not behold we hope for, through  continuance we expect [it]. 
45N 008:026 And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our  weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth [us], we  have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession  for us with groanings unutterable, 
45N 008:027 and He who is searching the hearts hath known what [is] the  mind of the Spirit, because according to God he doth intercede  for saints. 
45N 008:028 And we have known that to those loving God all things do  work together for good, to those who are called according to  purpose; 
45N 008:029 because whom He did foreknow, He also did fore-appoint,  conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be first-born  among many brethren; 
45N 008:030 and whom He did fore-appoint, these also He did call; and  whom He did call, these also He declared righteous; and whom He  declared righteous, these also He did glorify. 
45N 008:031 What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God [is] for  us, who [is] against us? 
45N 008:032 He who indeed His own Son did not spare, but for us all did  deliver him up, how shall He not also with him the all things  grant to us? 
45N 008:033 Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God  [is] He that is declaring righteous, 
45N 008:034 who [is] he that is condemning? Christ [is] He that died,  yea, rather also, was raised up; who is also on the right hand  of God -- who also doth intercede for us. 
45N 008:035 Who shall separate us from the love of the Christ?  tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or  nakedness, or peril, or sword? 
45N 008:036 (according as it hath been written -- `For Thy sake we are  put to death all the day long, we were reckoned as sheep of  slaughter,') 
45N 008:037 but in all these we more than conquer, through him who  loved us; 
45N 008:038 for I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor  messengers, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, 
45N 008:039 nor things about to be, nor height, nor depth, nor any  other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love  of god, that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord. 
45N 009:001 Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing  testimony with me in the Holy Spirit, 
45N 009:002 that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart -- 
45N 009:003 for I was wishing, I myself, to be anathema from the Christ  -- for my brethren, my kindred, according to the flesh, 
45N 009:004 who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption, and the glory,  and the covenants, and the lawgiving, and the service, and the  promises, 
45N 009:005 whose [are] the fathers, and of whom [is] the Christ,  according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed to the  ages. Amen. 
45N 009:006 And it is not possible that the word of God hath failed; for  not all who [are] of Israel are these Israel; 
45N 009:007 nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children, but  -- `in Isaac shall a seed be called to thee;' 
45N 009:008 that is, the children of the flesh -- these [are] not  children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned  for seed; 
45N 009:009 for the word of promise [is] this; `According to this time I  will come, and there shall be to Sarah a son.' 
45N 009:010 And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by  one -- Isaac our father -- 
45N 009:011 (for they being not yet born, neither having done anything  good or evil, that the purpose of God, according to choice,  might remain; not of works, but of Him who is calling,) it was  said to her -- 
45N 009:012 `The greater shall serve the less;' 
45N 009:013 according as it hath been written, `Jacob I did love, and  Esau I did hate.' 
45N 009:014 What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness [is] with God?  let it not be! 
45N 009:015 for to Moses He saith, `I will do kindness to whom I do  kindness, and I will have compassion on whom I have  compassion;' 
45N 009:016 so, then -- not of him who is willing, nor of him who is  running, but of God who is doing kindness: 
45N 009:017 for the Writing saith to Pharaoh -- `For this very thing I  did raise thee up, that I might shew in thee My power, and  that My name might be declared in all the land;' 
45N 009:018 so, then, to whom He willeth, He doth kindness, and to whom  He willeth, He doth harden. 
45N 009:019 Thou wilt say, then, to me, `Why yet doth He find fault?  for His counsel who hath resisted?' 
45N 009:020 nay, but, O man, who art thou that art answering again to  God? shall the thing formed say to Him who did form [it], Why  me didst thou make thus? 
45N 009:021 hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the  same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to  dishonour? 
45N 009:022 And if God, willing to shew the wrath and to make known His  power, did endure, in much long suffering, vessels of wrath  fitted for destruction, 
45N 009:023 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on  vessels of kindness, that He before prepared for glory, whom  also He did call -- us -- 
45N 009:024 not only out of Jews, but also out of nations, 
45N 009:025 as also in Hosea He saith, `I will call what [is] not My  people -- My people; and her not beloved -- Beloved, 
45N 009:026 and it shall be -- in the place where it was said to them,  Ye [are] not My people; there they shall be called sons of the  living God.' 
45N 009:027 And Isaiah doth cry concerning Israel, `If the number of  the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, the remnant  shall be saved; 
45N 009:028 for a matter He is finishing, and is cutting short in  righteousness, because a matter cut short will the Lord do  upon the land. 
45N 009:029 and according as Isaiah saith before, `Except the Lord of  Sabaoth did leave to us a seed, as Sodom we had become, and as  Gomorrah we had been made like.' 
45N 009:030 What, then, shall we say? that nations who are not pursuing  righteousness did attain to righteousness, and righteousness  that [is] of faith, 
45N 009:031 and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of  righteousness did not arrive; 
45N 009:032 wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law;  for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling, 
45N 009:033 according as it hath been written, `Lo, I place in Sion a  stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is  believing thereon shall not be ashamed.' 
45N 010:001 Brethren, the pleasure indeed of my heart, and my  supplication that [is] to God for Israel, is -- for salvation; 
45N 010:002 for I bear them testimony that they have a zeal of God, but  not according to knowledge, 
45N 010:003 for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own  righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God  they did not submit. 
45N 010:004 For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one  who is believing, 
45N 010:005 for Moses doth describe the righteousness that [is] of the  law, that, `The man who did them shall live in them,' 
45N 010:006 and the righteousness of faith doth thus speak: `Thou  mayest not say in thine heart, Who shall go up to the heaven,'  that is, Christ to bring down? 
45N 010:007 or, `Who shall go down to the abyss,' that is, Christ out  of the dead to bring up. 
45N 010:008 But what doth it say? `Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy  mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith,  that we preach; 
45N 010:009 that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,  and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of  the dead, thou shalt be saved, 
45N 010:010 for with the heart doth [one] believe to righteousness,  and with the mouth is confession made to salvation; 
45N 010:011 for the Writing saith, `Every one who is believing on him  shall not be ashamed,' 
45N 010:012 for there is no difference between Jew and Greek, for the  same Lord of all [is] rich to all those calling upon Him, 
45N 010:013 for every one -- whoever shall call upon the name of the  Lord, he shall be saved.' 
45N 010:014 How then shall they call upon [him] in whom they did not  believe? and how shall they believe [on him] of whom they did  not hear? and how shall they hear apart from one preaching? 
45N 010:015 and how shall they preach, if they may not be sent?  according as it hath been written, `How beautiful the feet of  those proclaiming good tidings of peace, of those proclaiming  good tidings of the good things!' 
45N 010:016 But they were not all obedient to the good tidings, for  Isaiah saith, `Lord, who did give credence to our report?' 
45N 010:017 so then the faith [is] by a report, and the report through  a saying of God, 
45N 010:018 but I say, Did they not hear? yes, indeed -- `to all the  earth their voice went forth, and to the ends of the habitable  world their sayings.' 
45N 010:019 But I say, Did not Israel know? first Moses saith, `I will  provoke you to jealousy by [that which is] not a nation; by an  unintelligent nation I will anger you,' 
45N 010:020 and Isaiah is very bold, and saith, `I was found by those  not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring after  Me;' 
45N 010:021 and unto Israel He saith, `All the day I did stretch out  My hands unto a people unbelieving and gainsaying.' 
45N 011:001 I say, then, Did God cast away His people? let it not be!  for I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the  tribe of Benjamin: 
45N 011:002 God did not cast away His people whom He knew before; have  ye not known -- in Elijah -- what the Writing saith? how he  doth plead with God concerning Israel, saying, 
45N 011:003 `Lord, Thy prophets they did kill, and Thy altars they dug  down, and I was left alone, and they seek my life;' 
45N 011:004 but what saith the divine answer to him? `I left to Myself  seven thousand men, who did not bow a knee to Baal.' 
45N 011:005 So then also in the present time a remnant according to the  choice of grace there hath been; 
45N 011:006 and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace  becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace,  otherwise the work is no more work. 
45N 011:007 What then? What Israel doth seek after, this it did not  obtain, and the chosen did obtain, and the rest were hardened, 
45N 011:008 according as it hath been written, `God gave to them a  spirit of deep sleep, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear,'  -- unto this very day, 
45N 011:009 and David saith, `Let their table become for a snare, and  for a trap, and for a stumbling-block, and for a recompense to  them; 
45N 011:010 let their eyes be darkened -- not to behold, and their  back do Thou always bow down.' 
45N 011:011 I say, then, Did they stumble that they might fall? let it  not be! but by their fall the salvation [is] to the nations,  to arouse them to jealousy; 
45N 011:012 and if the fall of them [is] the riches of a world, and  the diminution of them the riches of nations, how much more  the fulness of them? 
45N 011:013 For to you I speak -- to the nations -- inasmuch as I am  indeed an apostle of nations, my ministration I do glorify; 
45N 011:014 if by any means I shall arouse to jealousy mine own flesh,  and shall save some of them, 
45N 011:015 for if the casting away of them [is] a reconciliation of  the world, what the reception -- if not life out of the dead? 
45N 011:016 and if the first-fruit [is] holy, the lump also; and if  the root [is] holy, the branches also. 
45N 011:017 And if certain of the branches were broken off, and thou,  being a wild olive tree, wast graffed in among them, and a  fellow-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the olive  tree didst become -- 
45N 011:018 do not boast against the branches; and if thou dost boast,  thou dost not bear the root, but the root thee! 
45N 011:019 Thou wilt say, then, `The branches were broken off, that I  might be graffed in;' right! 
45N 011:020 by unbelief they were broken off, and thou hast stood by  faith; be not high-minded, but be fearing; 
45N 011:021 for if God the natural branches did not spare -- lest  perhaps He also shall not spare thee. 
45N 011:022 Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those  indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou  mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be  cut off. 
45N 011:023 And those also, if they may not remain in unbelief, shall  be graffed in, for God is able again to graff them in; 
45N 011:024 for if thou, out of the olive tree, wild by nature, wast  cut out, and, contrary to nature, wast graffed into a good  olive tree, how much rather shall they, who [are] according to  nature, be graffed into their own olive tree? 
45N 011:025 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of this  secret -- that ye may not be wise in your own conceits -- that  hardness in part to Israel hath happened till the fulness of  the nations may come in; 
45N 011:026 and so all Israel shall be saved, according as it hath  been written, `There shall come forth out of Sion he who is  delivering, and he shall turn away impiety from Jacob, 
45N 011:027 and this to them [is] the covenant from Me, when I may  take away their sins.' 
45N 011:028 As regards, indeed, the good tidings, [they are] enemies  on your account; and as regards the choice -- beloved on  account of the fathers; 
45N 011:029 for unrepented of [are] the gifts and the calling of God; 
45N 011:030 for as ye also once did not believe in God, and now did  find kindness by the unbelief of these: 
45N 011:031 so also these now did not believe, that in your kindness  they also may find kindness; 
45N 011:032 for God did shut up together the whole to unbelief, that  to the whole He might do kindness. 
45N 011:033 O depth of riches, and wisdom and knowledge of God! how  unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways! 
45N 011:034 for who did know the mind of the Lord? or who did become  His counsellor? 
45N 011:035 or who did first give to Him, and it shall be given back  to him again? 
45N 011:036 because of Him, and through Him, and to Him [are] the all  things; to Him [is] the glory -- to the ages. Amen. 
45N 012:001 I call upon you, therefore, brethren, through the  compassions of God, to present your bodies a sacrifice --  living, sanctified, acceptable to God -- your intelligent  service; 
45N 012:002 and be not conformed to this age, but be transformed by the  renewing of your mind, for your proving what [is] the will of  God -- the good, and acceptable, and perfect. 
45N 012:003 For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every  one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to  think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did  deal a measure of faith, 
45N 012:004 for as in one body we have many members, and all the  members have not the same office, 
45N 012:005 so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each  one of one another. 
45N 012:006 And having gifts, different according to the grace that was  given to us; whether prophecy -- `According to the proportion  of faith!' 
45N 012:007 or ministration -- `In the ministration!' or he who is  teaching -- `In the teaching!' 
45N 012:008 or he who is exhorting -- `In the exhortation!' he who is  sharing -- `In simplicity!' he who is leading -- `In  diligence?' he who is doing kindness -- `In cheerfulness.' 
45N 012:009 The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the  good; 
45N 012:010 in the love of brethren, to one another kindly  affectioned: in the honour going before one another; 
45N 012:011 in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the  Lord serving; 
45N 012:012 in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the  prayer persevering; 
45N 012:013 to the necessities of the saints communicating; the  hospitality pursuing. 
45N 012:014 Bless those persecuting you; bless, and curse not; 
45N 012:015 to rejoice with the rejoicing, and to weep with the  weeping, 
45N 012:016 of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high  things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in  your own conceit; 
45N 012:017 giving back to no one evil for evil; providing right  things before all men. 
45N 012:018 If possible -- so far as in you -- with all men being in  peace; 
45N 012:019 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to the  wrath, for it hath been written, `Vengeance [is] Mine, 
45N 012:020 I will recompense again, saith the Lord;' if, then, thine  enemy doth hunger, feed him; if he doth thirst, give him  drink; for this doing, coals of fire thou shalt heap upon his  head; 
45N 012:021 Be not overcome by the evil, but overcome, in the good,  the evil. 
45N 013:001 Let every soul to the higher authorities be subject, for  there is no authority except from God, and the authorities  existing are appointed by God, 
45N 013:002 so that he who is setting himself against the authority,  against God's ordinance hath resisted; and those resisting, to  themselves shall receive judgment. 
45N 013:003 For those ruling are not a terror to the good works, but to  the evil; and dost thou wish not to be afraid of the  authority? that which is good be doing, and thou shalt have  praise from it, 
45N 013:004 for of God it is a ministrant to thee for good; and if that  which is evil thou mayest do, be fearing, for not in vain doth  it bear the sword; for of God it is a ministrant, an avenger  for wrath to him who is doing that which is evil. 
45N 013:005 Wherefore it is necessary to be subject, not only because  of the wrath, but also because of the conscience, 
45N 013:006 for because of this also pay ye tribute; for servants of  God they are, on this very thing attending continually; 
45N 013:007 render, therefore, to all [their] dues; to whom tribute,  the tribute; to whom custom, the custom; to whom fear, the  fear; to whom honour, the honour. 
45N 013:008 To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he  who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled, 
45N 013:009 for, `Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt do no  murder, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false  testimony, Thou shalt not covet;' and if there is any other  command, in this word it is summed up, in this: `Thou shalt  love thy neighbor as thyself;' 
45N 013:010 the love to the neighbor doth work no ill; the love,  therefore, [is] the fulness of law. 
45N 013:011 And this, knowing the time, that for us, the hour already  [is] to be aroused out of sleep, for now nearer [is] our  salvation than when we did believe; 
45N 013:012 the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay  aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on  the armour of the light; 
45N 013:013 as in day-time, let us walk becomingly; not in revellings  and drunkennesses, not in chamberings and lasciviousnesses,  not in strife and emulation; 
45N 013:014 but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh  take no forethought -- for desires. 
45N 014:001 And him who is weak in the faith receive ye -- not to  determinations of reasonings; 
45N 014:002 one doth believe that he may eat all things -- and he who  is weak doth eat herbs; 
45N 014:003 let not him who is eating despise him who is not eating:  and let not him who is not eating judge him who is eating, for  God did receive him. 
45N 014:004 Thou -- who art thou that art judging another's domestic?  to his own master he doth stand or fall; and he shall be made  to stand, for God is able to make him stand. 
45N 014:005 One doth judge one day above another, and another doth  judge every day [alike]; let each in his own mind be fully  assured. 
45N 014:006 He who is regarding the day, to the Lord he doth regard  [it], and he who is not regarding the day, to the Lord he doth  not regard [it]. He who is eating, to the Lord he doth eat,  for he doth give thanks to God; and he who is not eating, to  the Lord he doth not eat, and doth give thanks to God. 
45N 014:007 For none of us to himself doth live, and none to himself  doth die; 
45N 014:008 for both, if we may live, to the Lord we live; if also we  may die, to the Lord we die; both then if we may live, also if  we may die, we are the Lord's; 
45N 014:009 for because of this Christ both died and rose again, and  lived again, that both of dead and of living he may be Lord. 
45N 014:010 And thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or again, thou,  why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand  at the tribunal of the Christ; 
45N 014:011 for it hath been written, `I live! saith the Lord -- to Me  bow shall every knee, and every tongue shall confess to God;' 
45N 014:012 so, then, each of us concerning himself shall give  reckoning to God; 
45N 014:013 no longer, therefore, may we judge one another, but this  judge ye rather, not to put a stumbling-stone before the  brother, or an offence. 
45N 014:014 I have known, and am persuaded, in the Lord Jesus, that  nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him who is reckoning  anything to be unclean -- to that one [it is] unclean; 
45N 014:015 and if through victuals thy brother is grieved, no more  dost thou walk according to love; do not with thy victuals  destroy that one for whom Christ died. 
45N 014:016 Let not, then, your good be evil spoken of, 
45N 014:017 for the reign of God is not eating and drinking, but  righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; 
45N 014:018 for he who in these things is serving the Christ, [is]  acceptable to God and approved of men. 
45N 014:019 So, then, the things of peace may we pursue, and the  things of building up one another; 
45N 014:020 for the sake of victuals cast not down the work of God;  all things, indeed, [are] pure, but evil [is] to the man who  is eating through stumbling. 
45N 014:021 Right [it is] not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to  [do anything] in which thy brother doth stumble, or is made to  fall, or is weak. 
45N 014:022 Thou hast faith! to thyself have [it] before God; happy is  he who is not judging himself in what he doth approve, 
45N 014:023 and he who is making a difference, if he may eat, hath  been condemned, because [it is] not of faith; and all that  [is] not of faith is sin. 
45N 015:001 And we ought -- we who are strong -- to bear the  infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves; 
45N 015:002 for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, unto  edification, 
45N 015:003 for even the Christ did not please himself, but, according  as it hath been written, `The reproaches of those reproaching  Thee fell upon me;' 
45N 015:004 for, as many things as were written before, for our  instruction were written before, that through the endurance,  and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope. 
45N 015:005 And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation,  give to you to have the same mind toward one another,  according to Christ Jesus; 
45N 015:006 that with one accord -- with one mouth -- ye may glorify  the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
45N 015:007 wherefore receive ye one another, according as also the  Christ did receive us, to the glory of God. 
45N 015:008 And I say Jesus Christ to have become a ministrant of  circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to  the fathers, 
45N 015:009 and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as  it hath been written, `Because of this I will confess to Thee  among nations, and to Thy name I will sing praise,' 
45N 015:010 and again it saith, `Rejoice ye nations, with His people;' 
45N 015:011 and again, `Praise the Lord, all ye nations; and laud Him,  all ye peoples;' 
45N 015:012 and again, Isaiah saith, `There shall be the root of  Jesse, and he who is rising to rule nations -- upon him shall  nations hope;' 
45N 015:013 and the God of the hope shall fill you with all joy and  peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power  of the Holy Spirit. 
45N 015:014 And I am persuaded, my brethren -- I myself also --  concerning you, that ye yourselves also are full of goodness,  having been filled with all knowledge, able also one another to  admonish; 
45N 015:015 and the more boldly I did write to you, brethren, in part,  as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to  me by God, 
45N 015:016 for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations,  acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up  of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy  Spirit. 
45N 015:017 I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things  pertaining to God, 
45N 015:018 for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that  Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by  word and deed, 
45N 015:019 in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of  God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as  Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ; 
45N 015:020 and so counting it honour to proclaim good news, not where  Christ was named -- that upon another's foundation I might not  build -- 
45N 015:021 but according as it hath been written, `To whom it was not  told concerning him, they shall see; and they who have not  heard, shall understand.' 
45N 015:022 Wherefore, also, I was hindered many times from coming  unto you, 
45N 015:023 and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having  a longing to come unto you for many years, 
45N 015:024 when I may go on to Spain I will come unto you, for I hope  in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward  thither, if of you first, in part, I shall be filled. 
45N 015:025 And, now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the saints; 
45N 015:026 for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain  contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in  Jerusalem; 
45N 015:027 for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if in  their spiritual things the nations did participate, they ought  also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them. 
45N 015:028 This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them  this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain; 
45N 015:029 and I have known that coming unto you -- in the fulness of  the blessing of the good news of Christ I shall come. 
45N 015:030 And I call upon you, brethren, through our Lord Jesus  Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together  with me in the prayers for me unto God, 
45N 015:031 that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea,  and that my ministration, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become  acceptable to the saints; 
45N 015:032 that in joy I may come unto you, through the will of God,  and may be refreshed with you, 
45N 015:033 and the God of the peace [be] with you all. Amen. 
45N 016:001 And I commend you to Phebe our sister -- being a ministrant  of the assembly that [is] in Cenchrea -- 
45N 016:002 that ye may receive her in the Lord, as doth become saints,  and may assist her in whatever matter she may have need of you  -- for she also became a leader of many, and of myself. 
45N 016:003 Salute Priscilla and Aquilas, my fellow-workmen in Christ  Jesus -- 
45N 016:004 who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not  only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations  -- 
45N 016:005 and the assembly at their house; salute Epaenetus, my  beloved, who is first-fruit of Achaia to Christ. 
45N 016:006 Salute Mary, who did labour much for us; 
45N 016:007 salute Andronicus and Junias, my kindred, and my  fellow-captives, who are of note among the apostles, who also  have been in Christ before me. 
45N 016:008 Salute Amplias, my beloved in the Lord; 
45N 016:009 salute Arbanus, our fellow-workman in Christ, and Stachys,  my beloved; 
45N 016:010 salute Apelles, the approved in Christ; salute those of  the [household] of Aristobulus; 
45N 016:011 salute Herodion, my kinsman; salute those of the  [household] of Narcissus, who are in the Lord; 
45N 016:012 salute Tryphaena, and Tryphosa, who are labouring in the  Lord; salute Persis, the beloved, who did labour much in the  Lord. 
45N 016:013 Salute Rufus, the choice one in the Lord, and his mother  and mine, 
45N 016:014 salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and  the brethren with them; 
45N 016:015 salute Philologus, and Julias, Nereus, and his sister, and  Olympas, and all the saints with them; 
45N 016:016 salute one another in a holy kiss; the assemblies of  Christ do salute you. 
45N 016:017 And I call upon you, brethren, to mark those who the  divisions and the stumbling-blocks, contrary to the teaching  that ye did learn, are causing, and turn ye away from them; 
45N 016:018 for such our Lord Jesus Christ do not serve, but their own  belly; and through the good word and fair speech they deceive  the hearts of the harmless, 
45N 016:019 for your obedience did reach to all; I rejoice, therefore,  as regards you, and I wish you to be wise, indeed, as to the  good, and harmless as to the evil; 
45N 016:020 and the God of the peace shall bruise the Adversary under  your feet quickly; the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be]  with you. Amen! 
45N 016:021 Salute you do Timotheus, my fellow-workman, and Lucius,  and Jason, and Sosipater, my kindred; 
45N 016:022 I Tertius salute you (who wrote the letter) in the Lord; 
45N 016:023 salute you doth Gaius, my host, and of the whole assembly;  salute you doth Erastus, the steward of the city, and Quartus  the brother, 
45N 016:024 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you all.  Amen. 
45N 016:025 And to Him who is able to establish you, according to my  good news, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the  revelation of the secret, in the times of the ages having been  kept silent, 
45N 016:026 and now having been made manifest, also, through prophetic  writings, according to a command of the age-during God, having  been made known to all the nations for obedience of faith -- 
45N 016:027 to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, to him [be]  glory to the ages. Amen.  
46N 001:001 Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of  God, and Sosthenes the brother, 
46N 001:002 to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those  sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those  calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place  -- both theirs and ours: 
46N 001:003 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
46N 001:004 I give thanks to my God always concerning you for the grace  of God that was given to you in Christ Jesus, 
46N 001:005 that in every thing ye were enriched in him, in all  discourse and all knowledge, 
46N 001:006 according as the testimony of the Christ was confirmed in  you, 
46N 001:007 so that ye are not behind in any gift, waiting for the  revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
46N 001:008 who also shall confirm you unto the end -- unblamable in the  day of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
46N 001:009 faithful [is] God, through whom ye were called to the  fellowship of His Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 
46N 001:010 And I call upon you, brethren, through the name of our Lord  Jesus Christ, that the same thing ye may all say, and there may  not be divisions among you, and ye may be perfected in the same  mind, and in the same judgment, 
46N 001:011 for it was signified to me concerning you, my brethren, by  those of Chloe, that contentions are among you; 
46N 001:012 and I say this, that each one of you saith, `I, indeed, am  of Paul' -- `and I of Apollos,' -- `and I of Cephas,' -- `and I  of Christ.' 
46N 001:013 Hath the Christ been divided? was Paul crucified for you?  or to the name of Paul were ye baptized; 
46N 001:014 I give thanks to God that no one of you did I baptize,  except Crispus and Gaius -- 
46N 001:015 that no one may say that to my own name I did baptize; 
46N 001:016 and I did baptize also Stephanas' household -- further, I  have not known if I did baptize any other. 
46N 001:017 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but -- to proclaim  good news; not in wisdom of discourse, that the cross of the  Christ may not be made of none effect; 
46N 001:018 for the word of the cross to those indeed perishing is  foolishness, and to us -- those being saved -- it is the power  of God, 
46N 001:019 for it hath been written, `I will destroy the wisdom of the  wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to  nought;' 
46N 001:020 where [is] the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of  this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? 
46N 001:021 for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the  wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness  of the preaching to save those believing. 
46N 001:022 Since also Jews ask a sign, and Greeks seek wisdom, 
46N 001:023 also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a  stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness, 
46N 001:024 and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the  power of God, and the wisdom of God, 
46N 001:025 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the  weakness of God is stronger than men; 
46N 001:026 for see your calling, brethren, that not many [are] wise  according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 
46N 001:027 but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that  the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world  did God choose that He may put to shame the strong; 
46N 001:028 and the base things of the world, and the things despised  did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things  that are He may make useless -- 
46N 001:029 that no flesh may glory before Him; 
46N 001:030 and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us  from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and  redemption, 
46N 001:031 that, according as it hath been written, `He who is  glorying -- in the Lord let him glory.' 
46N 002:001 And I, having come unto you, brethren, came -- not in  superiority of discourse or wisdom -- declaring to you the  testimony of God, 
46N 002:002 for I decided not to know any thing among you, except Jesus  Christ, and him crucified; 
46N 002:003 and I, in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling, was  with you; 
46N 002:004 and my word and my preaching was not in persuasive words of  human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power  -- 
46N 002:005 that your faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the  power of God. 
46N 002:006 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of  this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming  useless, 
46N 002:007 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God  foreordained before the ages to our glory, 
46N 002:008 which no one of the rulers of this age did know, for if they  had known, the Lord of the glory they would not have crucified; 
46N 002:009 but, according as it hath been written, `What eye did not  see, and ear did not hear, and upon the heart of man came not  up, what God did prepare for those loving Him --' 
46N 002:010 but to us did God reveal [them] through His Spirit, for the  Spirit all things doth search, even the depths of God, 
46N 002:011 for who of men hath known the things of the man, except the  spirit of the man that [is] in him? so also the things of God  no one hath known, except the Spirit of God. 
46N 002:012 And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the  Spirit that [is] of God, that we may know the things conferred  by God on us, 
46N 002:013 which things also we speak, not in words taught by human  wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual  things spiritual things comparing, 
46N 002:014 and the natural man doth not receive the things of the  Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not  able to know [them], because spiritually they are discerned; 
46N 002:015 and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things,  and he himself is by no one discerned; 
46N 002:016 for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall  instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ. 
46N 003:001 And I, brethren, was not able to speak to you as to  spiritual, but as to fleshly -- as to babes in Christ; 
46N 003:002 with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet  able, but not even yet are ye now able, 
46N 003:003 for yet ye are fleshly, for where [there is] among you  envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not fleshly, and in  the manner of men do walk? 
46N 003:004 for when one may say, `I, indeed, am of Paul;' and another,  `I -- of Apollos;' are ye not fleshly? 
46N 003:005 Who, then, is Paul, and who Apollos, but ministrants through  whom ye did believe, and to each as the Lord gave? 
46N 003:006 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth; 
46N 003:007 so that neither is he who is planting anything, nor he who  is watering, but He who is giving growth -- God; 
46N 003:008 and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and  each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour, 
46N 003:009 for of God we are fellow-workmen; God's tillage, God's  building ye are. 
46N 003:010 According to the grace of God that was given to me, as a  wise master-builder, a foundation I have laid, and another doth  build on [it], 
46N 003:011 for other foundation no one is able to lay except that  which is laid, which is Jesus the Christ; 
46N 003:012 and if any one doth build upon this foundation gold,  silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw -- 
46N 003:013 of each the work shall become manifest, for the day shall  declare [it], because in fire it is revealed, and the work of  each, what kind it is, the fire shall prove; 
46N 003:014 if of any one the work doth remain that he built on [it], a  wage he shall receive; 
46N 003:015 if of any the work is burned up, he shall suffer loss; and  himself shall be saved, but so as through fire. 
46N 003:016 have ye not known that ye are a sanctuary of God, and the  Spirit of God doth dwell in you? 
46N 003:017 if any one the sanctuary of God doth waste, him shall God  waste; for the sanctuary of God is holy, the which ye are. 
46N 003:018 Let no one deceive himself; if any one doth seem to be wise  among you in this age -- let him become a fool, that he may  become wise, 
46N 003:019 for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for  it hath been written, `Who is taking the wise in their  craftiness;' 
46N 003:020 and again, `The Lord doth know the reasonings of the wise,  that they are vain.' 
46N 003:021 So then, let no one glory in men, for all things are yours, 
46N 003:022 whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life,  or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are  yours, 
46N 003:023 and ye [are] Christ's, and Christ [is] God's. 
46N 004:001 Let a man so reckon us as officers of Christ, and stewards  of the secrets of God, 
46N 004:002 and as to the rest, it is required in the stewards that one  may be found faithful, 
46N 004:003 and to me it is for a very little thing that by you I may be  judged, or by man's day, but not even myself do I judge, 
46N 004:004 for of nothing to myself have I been conscious, but not in  this have I been declared right -- and he who is discerning me  is the Lord: 
46N 004:005 so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord  may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the  darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and  then the praise shall come to each from God. 
46N 004:006 And these things, brethren, I did transfer to myself and to  Apollos because of you, that in us ye may learn not to think  above that which hath been written, that ye may not be puffed  up one for one against the other, 
46N 004:007 for who doth make thee to differ? and what hast thou, that  thou didst not receive? and if thou didst also receive, why  dost thou glory as not having received? 
46N 004:008 Already ye are having been filled, already ye were rich,  apart from us ye did reign, and I would also ye did reign, that  we also with you may reign together, 
46N 004:009 for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last --  as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the  world, and messengers, and men; 
46N 004:010 we [are] fools because of Christ, and ye wise in Christ; we  [are] ailing, and ye strong; ye glorious, and we dishonoured; 
46N 004:011 unto the present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are  naked, and are buffeted, and wander about, 
46N 004:012 and labour, working with [our] own hands; being reviled, we  bless; being persecuted, we suffer; 
46N 004:013 being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we  did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now. 
46N 004:014 Not [as] putting you to shame do I write these things, but  as my beloved children I do admonish, 
46N 004:015 for if a myriad of child-conductors ye may have in Christ,  yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, through the good  news, I -- I did beget you; 
46N 004:016 I call upon you, therefore, become ye followers of me; 
46N 004:017 because of this I sent to you Timotheus, who is my child,  beloved and faithful in the Lord, who shall remind you of my  ways in Christ, according as everywhere in every assembly I  teach. 
46N 004:018 And as if I were not coming unto you certain were puffed  up; 
46N 004:019 but I will come quickly unto you, if the Lord may will, and  I will know not the word of those puffed up, but the power; 
46N 004:020 for not in word is the reign of God, but in power? 
46N 004:021 what do ye wish? with a rod shall I come unto you, or in  love, with a spirit also of meekness? 
46N 005:001 Whoredom is actually heard of among you, and such whoredom  as is not even named among the nations -- as that one hath the  wife of the father! -- 
46N 005:002 and ye are having been puffed up, and did not rather mourn,  that he may be removed out of the midst of you who did this  work, 
46N 005:003 for I indeed, as being absent as to the body, and present as  to the spirit, have already judged, as being present, him who  so wrought this thing: 
46N 005:004 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- ye being gathered  together, also my spirit -- with the power of our Lord Jesus  Christ, 
46N 005:005 to deliver up such a one to the Adversary for the  destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the  day of the Lord Jesus. 
46N 005:006 Not good [is] your glorying; have ye not known that a little  leaven the whole lump doth leaven? 
46N 005:007 cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new  lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for  us was sacrificed -- Christ, 
46N 005:008 so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with  the leaven of evil and wickedness, but with unleavened food of  sincerity and truth. 
46N 005:009 I did write to you in the epistle, not to keep company with  whoremongers -- 
46N 005:010 and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or  with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye  ought then to go forth out of the world -- 
46N 005:011 and now, I did write to you not to keep company with [him],  if any one, being named a brother, may be a whoremonger, or  covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an  extortioner -- with such a one not even to eat together; 
46N 005:012 for what have I also those without to judge? those within  do ye not judge? 
46N 005:013 and those without God doth judge; and put ye away the evil  from among yourselves. 
46N 006:001 Dare any one of you, having a matter with the other, go to  be judged before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 
46N 006:002 have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and  if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller  judgments? 
46N 006:003 have ye not known that we shall judge messengers? why not  then the things of life? 
46N 006:004 of the things of life, indeed, then, if ye may have  judgment, those despised in the assembly -- these cause ye to  sit; 
46N 006:005 unto your shame I speak: so there is not among you one wise  man, not even one, who shall be able to discern in the midst of  his brethren! 
46N 006:006 but brother with brother doth go to be judged, and this  before unbelievers! 
46N 006:007 Already, indeed, then, there is altogether a fault among  you, that ye have judgments with one another; wherefore do ye  not rather suffer injustice? wherefore be ye not rather  defrauded? 
46N 006:008 but ye -- ye do injustice, and ye defraud, and these --  brethren! 
46N 006:009 have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God  shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor  idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, 
46N 006:010 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor  extortioners, the reign of God shall inherit. 
46N 006:011 And certain of you were these! but ye were washed, but ye  were sanctified, but ye were declared righteous, in the name of  the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God. 
46N 006:012 All things are lawful to me, but all things are not  profitable; all things are lawful to me, but I -- I will not be  under authority by any; 
46N 006:013 the meats [are] for the belly, and the belly for the meats.  And God both this and these shall make useless; and the body  [is] not for whoredom, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the  body; 
46N 006:014 and God both the Lord did raise, and us will raise up  through His power. 
46N 006:015 Have ye not known that your bodies are members of Christ?  having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make  [them] members of an harlot? let it be not! 
46N 006:016 have ye not known that he who is joined to the harlot is  one body? `for they shall be -- saith He -- the two for one  flesh.' 
46N 006:017 And he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit; 
46N 006:018 flee the whoredom; every sin -- whatever a man may commit  -- is without the body, and he who is committing whoredom,  against his own body doth sin. 
46N 006:019 Have ye not known that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy  Spirit in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own, 
46N 006:020 for ye were bought with a price; glorify, then, God in your  body and in your spirit, which are God's. 
46N 007:001 And concerning the things of which ye wrote to me: good [it  is] for a man not to touch a woman, 
46N 007:002 and because of the whoredom let each man have his own wife,  and let each woman have her proper husband; 
46N 007:003 to the wife let the husband the due benevolence render, and  in like manner also the wife to the husband; 
46N 007:004 the wife over her own body hath not authority, but the  husband; and, in like manner also, the husband over his own  body hath not authority, but the wife. 
46N 007:005 Defraud not one another, except by consent for a time, that  ye may be free for fasting and prayer, and again may come  together, that the Adversary may not tempt you because of your  incontinence; 
46N 007:006 and this I say by way of concurrence -- not of command, 
46N 007:007 for I wish all men to be even as I myself [am]; but each his  own gift hath of God, one indeed thus, and one thus. 
46N 007:008 And I say to the unmarried and to the widows: it is good for  them if they may remain even as I [am]; 
46N 007:009 and if they have not continence -- let them marry, for it is  better to marry than to burn; 
46N 007:010 and to the married I announce -- not I, but the Lord -- let  not a wife separate from a husband: 
46N 007:011 but and if she may separate, let her remain unmarried, or  to the husband let her be reconciled, and let not a husband  send away a wife. 
46N 007:012 And to the rest I speak -- not the Lord -- if any brother  hath a wife unbelieving, and she is pleased to dwell with him,  let him not send her away; 
46N 007:013 and a woman who hath a husband unbelieving, and he is  pleased to dwell with her, let her not send him away; 
46N 007:014 for the unbelieving husband hath been sanctified in the  wife, and the unbelieving wife hath been sanctified in the  husband; otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are  holy. 
46N 007:015 And, if the unbelieving doth separate himself -- let him  separate himself: the brother or the sister is not under  servitude in such [cases], and in peace hath God called us; 
46N 007:016 for what, hast thou known, O wife, whether the husband thou  shalt save? or what, hast thou known, O husband, whether the  wife thou shalt save? 
46N 007:017 if not, as God did distribute to each, as the Lord hath  called each -- so let him walk; and thus in all the assemblies  do I direct: 
46N 007:018 being circumcised -- was any one called? let him not become  uncircumcised; in uncircumcision was any one called? let him  not be circumcised; 
46N 007:019 the circumcision is nothing, and the uncircumcision is  nothing -- but a keeping of the commands of God. 
46N 007:020 Each in the calling in which he was called -- in this let  him remain; 
46N 007:021 a servant -- wast thou called? be not anxious; but if also  thou art able to become free -- use [it] rather; 
46N 007:022 for he who [is] in the Lord -- having been called a servant  -- is the Lord's freedman: in like manner also he the freeman,  having been called, is servant of Christ: 
46N 007:023 with a price ye were bought, become not servants of men; 
46N 007:024 each, in that in which he was called, brethren, in this let  him remain with God. 
46N 007:025 And concerning the virgins, a command of the Lord I have  not; and I give judgment as having obtained kindness from the  Lord to be faithful: 
46N 007:026 I suppose, therefore, this to be good because of the  present necessity, that [it is] good for a man that the matter  be thus: -- 
46N 007:027 Hast thou been bound to a wife? seek not to be loosed; hast  thou been loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. 
46N 007:028 But and if thou mayest marry, thou didst not sin; and if  the virgin may marry, she did not sin; and such shall have  tribulation in the flesh: and I spare you. 
46N 007:029 And this I say, brethren, the time henceforth is having  been shortened -- that both those having wives may be as not  having; 
46N 007:030 and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as  not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing; 
46N 007:031 and those using this world, as not using [it] up; for  passing away is the fashion of this world. 
46N 007:032 And I wish you to be without anxiety; the unmarried is  anxious for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the  Lord; 
46N 007:033 and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how  he shall please the wife. 
46N 007:034 The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the  unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be  holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for  the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. 
46N 007:035 And this for your own profit I say: not that I may cast a  noose upon you, but for the seemliness and devotedness to the  Lord, undistractedly, 
46N 007:036 and if any one doth think [it] to be unseemly to his  virgin, if she may be beyond the bloom of age, and it ought so  to be, what he willeth let him do; he doth not sin -- let him  marry. 
46N 007:037 And he who hath stood stedfast in the heart -- not having  necessity -- and hath authority over his own will, and this he  hath determined in his heart -- to keep his own virgin -- doth  well; 
46N 007:038 so that both he who is giving in marriage doth well, and he  who is not giving in marriage doth better. 
46N 007:039 A wife hath been bound by law as long time as her husband  may live, and if her husband may sleep, she is free to be  married to whom she will -- only in the Lord; 
46N 007:040 and she is happier if she may so remain -- according to my  judgment; and I think I also have the Spirit of God. 
46N 008:001 And concerning the things sacrificed to idols, we have known  that we all have knowledge: knowledge puffeth up, but love  buildeth up; 
46N 008:002 and if any one doth think to know anything, he hath not yet  known anything according as it behoveth [him] to know; 
46N 008:003 and if any one doth love God, this one hath been known by  Him. 
46N 008:004 Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to  idols, we have known that an idol [is] nothing in the world,  and that there is no other God except one; 
46N 008:005 for even if there are those called gods, whether in heaven,  whether upon earth -- as there are gods many and lords many -- 
46N 008:006 yet to us [is] one God, the Father, of whom [are] the all  things, and we to Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through  whom [are] the all things, and we through Him; 
46N 008:007 but not in all men [is] the knowledge, and certain with  conscience of the idol, till now, as a thing sacrificed to an  idol do eat [it], and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 
46N 008:008 But victuals do not commend us to God, for neither if we may  eat are we in advance; nor if we may not eat, are we behind; 
46N 008:009 but see, lest this privilege of yours may become a  stumbling-block to the infirm, 
46N 008:010 for if any one may see thee that hast knowledge in an  idol's temple reclining at meat -- shall not his conscience --  he being infirm -- be emboldened to eat the things sacrificed  to idols, 
46N 008:011 and the brother who is infirm shall perish by thy  knowledge, because of whom Christ died? 
46N 008:012 and thus sinning in regard to the brethren, and smiting  their weak conscience -- in regard to Christ ye sin; 
46N 008:013 wherefore, if victuals cause my brother to stumble, I may  eat no flesh -- to the age -- that my brother I may not cause  to stumble. 
46N 009:001 Am not I an apostle? am not I free? Jesus Christ our Lord  have I not seen? my work are not ye in the Lord? 
46N 009:002 if to others I am not an apostle -- yet doubtless to you I  am; for the seal of my apostleship are ye in the Lord. 
46N 009:003 My defence to those who examine me in this; 
46N 009:004 have we not authority to eat and to drink? 
46N 009:005 have we not authority a sister -- a wife -- to lead about,  as also the other apostles, and the brethren of the Lord, and  Cephas? 
46N 009:006 or only I and Barnabas, have we not authority -- not to  work? 
46N 009:007 who doth serve as a soldier at his own charges at any time?  who doth plant a vineyard, and of its fruit doth not eat? or  who doth feed a flock, and of the milk of the flock doth not  eat? 
46N 009:008 According to man do I speak these things? or doth not also  the law say these things? 
46N 009:009 for in the law of Moses it hath been written, `thou shalt  not muzzle an ox treading out corn;' for the oxen doth God  care? 
46N 009:010 or because of us by all means doth He say [it]? yes,  because of us it was written, because in hope ought the plower  to plow, and he who is treading [ought] of his hope to partake  in hope. 
46N 009:011 If we to you the spiritual things did sow -- great [is it]  if we your fleshly things do reap? 
46N 009:012 if others do partake of the authority over you -- not we  more? but we did not use this authority, but all things we  bear, that we may give no hindrance to the good news of the  Christ. 
46N 009:013 Have ye not known that those working about the things of  the temple -- of the temple do eat, and those waiting at the  altar -- with the altar are partakers? 
46N 009:014 so also did the Lord direct to those proclaiming the good  news: of the good news to live. 
46N 009:015 And I have used none of these things; neither did I write  these things that it may be so done in my case, for [it is]  good for me rather to die, than that any one may make my  glorying void; 
46N 009:016 for if I may proclaim good news, it is no glorying for me,  for necessity is laid upon me, and wo is to me if I may not  proclaim good news; 
46N 009:017 for if willing I do this, I have a reward; and if  unwillingly -- with a stewardship I have been entrusted! 
46N 009:018 What, then, is my reward? -- that proclaiming good news,  without charge I shall make the good news of the Christ, not to  abuse my authority in the good news; 
46N 009:019 for being free from all men, to all men I made myself  servant, that the more I might gain; 
46N 009:020 and I became to the Jews as a Jew, that Jews I might gain;  to those under law as under law, that those under law I might  gain; 
46N 009:021 to those without law, as without law -- (not being without  law to God, but within law to Christ) -- that I might gain  those without law; 
46N 009:022 I became to the infirm as infirm, that the infirm I might  gain; to all men I have become all things, that by all means I  may save some. 
46N 009:023 And this I do because of the good news, that a  fellow-partaker of it I may become; 
46N 009:024 have ye not known that those running in a race -- all  indeed run, but one doth receive the prize? so run ye, that ye  may obtain; 
46N 009:025 and every one who is striving, is in all things temperate;  these, indeed, then, that a corruptible crown they may receive,  but we an incorruptible; 
46N 009:026 I, therefore, thus run, not as uncertainly, thus I fight,  as not beating air; 
46N 009:027 but I chastise my body, and bring [it] into servitude, lest  by any means, having preached to others -- I myself may become  disapproved. 
46N 010:001 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that all  our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the  sea, 
46N 010:002 and all to Moses were baptized in the cloud, and in the  sea; 
46N 010:003 and all the same spiritual food did eat, 
46N 010:004 and all the same spiritual drink did drink, for they were  drinking of a spiritual rock following them, and the rock was  the Christ; 
46N 010:005 but in the most of them God was not well pleased, for they  were strewn in the wilderness, 
46N 010:006 and those things became types of us, for our not  passionately desiring evil things, as also these did desire. 
46N 010:007 Neither become ye idolaters, as certain of them, as it hath  been written, `The people sat down to eat and to drink, and  stood up to play;' 
46N 010:008 neither may we commit whoredom, as certain of them did  commit whoredom, and there fell in one day twenty-three  thousand; 
46N 010:009 neither may we tempt the Christ, as also certain of them  did tempt, and by the serpents did perish; 
46N 010:010 neither murmur ye, as also some of them did murmur, and  did perish by the destroyer. 
46N 010:011 And all these things as types did happen to those persons,  and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of  the ages did come, 
46N 010:012 so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe,  lest he fall. 
46N 010:013 No temptation hath taken you -- except human; and God is  faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye  are able, but He will make, with the temptation, also the  outlet, for your being able to bear [it]. 
46N 010:014 Wherefore, my beloved, flee from the idolatry; 
46N 010:015 as to wise men I speak -- judge ye what I say: 
46N 010:016 The cup of the blessing that we bless -- is it not the  fellowship of the blood of the Christ? the bread that we break  -- is it not the fellowship of the body of the Christ? 
46N 010:017 because one bread, one body, are we the many -- for we all  of the one bread do partake. 
46N 010:018 See Israel according to the flesh! are not those eating  the sacrifices in the fellowship of the altar? 
46N 010:019 what then do I say? that an idol is anything? or that a  sacrifice offered to an idol is anything? -- 
46N 010:020 [no,] but that the things that the nations sacrifice --  they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not wish you  to come into the fellowship of the demons. 
46N 010:021 Ye are not able the cup of the Lord to drink, and the cup  of demons; ye are not able of the table of the Lord to partake,  and of the table of demons; 
46N 010:022 do we arouse the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than  He? 
46N 010:023 All things to me are lawful, but all things are not  profitable; all things to me are lawful, but all things do not  build up; 
46N 010:024 let no one seek his own -- but each another's. 
46N 010:025 Whatever in the meat-market is sold eat ye, not inquiring,  because of the conscience, 
46N 010:026 for the Lord's [is] the earth, and its fulness; 
46N 010:027 and if any one of the unbelieving do call you, and ye wish  to go, all that is set before you eat, nothing inquiring,  because of the conscience; 
46N 010:028 and if any one may say to you, `This is a thing sacrificed  to an idol,' -- do not eat, because of that one who shewed  [it], and of the conscience, for the Lord's [is] the earth and  its fulness: 
46N 010:029 and conscience, I say, not of thyself, but of the other,  for why [is it] that my liberty is judged by another's  conscience? 
46N 010:030 and if I thankfully do partake, why am I evil spoken of,  for that for which I give thanks? 
46N 010:031 Whether, then, ye eat, or drink, or do anything, do all to  the glory of God; 
46N 010:032 become offenceless, both to Jews and Greeks, and to the  assembly of God; 
46N 010:033 as I also in all things do please all, not seeking my own  profit, but that of many -- that they may be saved. 
46N 011:001 Followers of me become ye, as I also [am] of Christ. 
46N 011:002 And I praise you, brethren, that in all things ye remember  me, and according as I did deliver to you, the deliverances ye  keep, 
46N 011:003 and I wish you to know that of every man the head is the  Christ, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of  Christ is God. 
46N 011:004 Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered,  doth dishonour his head, 
46N 011:005 and every woman praying or prophesying with the head  uncovered, doth dishonour her own head, for it is one and the  same thing with her being shaven, 
46N 011:006 for if a woman is not covered -- then let her be shorn, and  if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven -- let her  be covered; 
46N 011:007 for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the  image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man, 
46N 011:008 for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man, 
46N 011:009 for a man also was not created because of the woman, but a  woman because of the man; 
46N 011:010 because of this the woman ought to have [a token of]  authority upon the head, because of the messengers; 
46N 011:011 but neither [is] a man apart from a woman, nor a woman  apart from a man, in the Lord, 
46N 011:012 for as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is]  through the woman, and the all things [are] of God. 
46N 011:013 In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman  uncovered to pray to God? 
46N 011:014 doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man  indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? 
46N 011:015 and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her,  because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her; 
46N 011:016 and if any one doth think to be contentious, we have no  such custom, neither the assemblies of God. 
46N 011:017 And this declaring, I give no praise, because not for the  better, but for the worse ye come together; 
46N 011:018 for first, indeed, ye coming together in an assembly, I  hear of divisions being among you, and partly I believe [it], 
46N 011:019 for it behoveth sects also to be among you, that those  approved may become manifest among you; 
46N 011:020 ye, then, coming together at the same place -- it is not  to eat the Lord's supper; 
46N 011:021 for each his own supper doth take before in the eating,  and one is hungry, and another is drunk; 
46N 011:022 why, have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or the  assembly of God do ye despise, and shame those not having? what  may I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I do not praise! 
46N 011:023 For I -- I received from the Lord that which also I did  deliver to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which he  was delivered up, took bread, 
46N 011:024 and having given thanks, he brake, and said, `Take ye, eat  ye, this is my body, that for you is being broken; this do ye  -- to the remembrance of me.' 
46N 011:025 In like manner also the cup after the supping, saying,  `This cup is the new covenant in my blood; this do ye, as often  as ye may drink [it] -- to the remembrance of me;' 
46N 011:026 for as often as ye may eat this bread, and this cup may  drink, the death of the Lord ye do shew forth -- till he may  come; 
46N 011:027 so that whoever may eat this bread or may drink the cup of  the Lord unworthily, guilty he shall be of the body and blood  of the Lord: 
46N 011:028 and let a man be proving himself, and so of the bread let  him eat, and of the cup let him drink; 
46N 011:029 for he who is eating and drinking unworthily, judgment to  himself he doth eat and drink -- not discerning the body of the  Lord. 
46N 011:030 Because of this, among you many [are] weak and sickly, and  sleep do many; 
46N 011:031 for if ourselves we were discerning, we would not be being  judged, 
46N 011:032 and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with  the world we may not be condemned; 
46N 011:033 so then, my brethren, coming together to eat, for one  another wait ye; 
46N 011:034 and if any one is hungry, at home let him eat, that to  judgment ye may not come together; and the rest, whenever I  may come, I shall arrange. 
46N 012:001 And concerning the spiritual things, brethren, I do not  wish you to be ignorant; 
46N 012:002 ye have known that ye were nations, unto the dumb idols --  as ye were led -- being carried away; 
46N 012:003 wherefore, I give you to understand that no one, in the  Spirit of God speaking, saith Jesus [is] anathema, and no one  is able to say Jesus [is] Lord, except in the Holy Spirit. 
46N 012:004 And there are diversities of gifts, and the same Spirit; 
46N 012:005 and there are diversities of ministrations, and the same  Lord; 
46N 012:006 and there are diversities of workings, and it is the same  God -- who is working the all in all. 
46N 012:007 And to each hath been given the manifestation of the Spirit  for profit; 
46N 012:008 for to one through the Spirit hath been given a word of  wisdom, and to another a word of knowledge, according to the  same Spirit; 
46N 012:009 and to another faith in the same Spirit, and to another  gifts of healings in the same Spirit; 
46N 012:010 and to another in-workings of mighty deeds; and to another  prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits; and to another  [divers] kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of  tongues: 
46N 012:011 and all these doth work the one and the same Spirit,  dividing to each severally as he intendeth. 
46N 012:012 For, even as the body is one, and hath many members, and  all the members of the one body, being many, are one body, so  also [is] the Christ, 
46N 012:013 for also in one Spirit we all to one body were baptized,  whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or freemen, and all  into one Spirit were made to drink, 
46N 012:014 for also the body is not one member, but many; 
46N 012:015 if the foot may say, `Because I am not a hand, I am not  of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body; 
46N 012:016 and if the ear may say, `Because I am not an eye, I am not  of the body;' it is not, because of this, not of the body? 
46N 012:017 If the whole body [were] an eye, where the hearing? if  the whole hearing, where the smelling? 
46N 012:018 and now, God did set the members each one of them in the  body, according as He willed, 
46N 012:019 and if all were one member, where the body? 
46N 012:020 and now, indeed, [are] many members, and one body; 
46N 012:021 and an eye is not able to say to the hand, `I have no need  of thee;' nor again the head to the feet, `I have no need of  you.' 
46N 012:022 But much more the members of the body which seem to be  more infirm are necessary, 
46N 012:023 and those that we think to be less honourable of the body,  around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly  things have seemliness more abundant, 
46N 012:024 and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the  body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant  honour, 
46N 012:025 that there may be no division in the body, but that the  members may have the same anxiety for one another, 
46N 012:026 and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with [it] do  all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with [it]  do all the members; 
46N 012:027 and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 
46N 012:028 And some, indeed, did God set in the assembly, first  apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, afterwards  powers, afterwards gifts of healings, helpings, governings,  divers kinds of tongues; 
46N 012:029 [are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all  teachers? [are] all powers? 
46N 012:030 have all gifts of healings? do all speak with tongues? do  all interpret? 
46N 012:031 and desire earnestly the better gifts; and yet a far  excelling way do I shew to you: 
46N 013:001 If with the tongues of men and of messengers I speak, and  have not love, I have become brass sounding, or a cymbal  tinkling; 
46N 013:002 and if I have prophecy, and know all the secrets, and all  the knowledge, and if I have all the faith, so as to remove  mountains, and have not love, I am nothing; 
46N 013:003 and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I  give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am  profited nothing. 
46N 013:004 The love is long-suffering, it is kind, the love doth not  envy, the love doth not vaunt itself, is not puffed up, 
46N 013:005 doth not act unseemly, doth not seek its own things, is not  provoked, doth not impute evil, 
46N 013:006 rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with  the truth; 
46N 013:007 all things it beareth, all it believeth, all it hopeth, all  it endureth. 
46N 013:008 The love doth never fail; and whether [there be]  prophecies, they shall become useless; whether tongues, they  shall cease; whether knowledge, it shall become useless; 
46N 013:009 for in part we know, and in part we prophecy; 
46N 013:010 and when that which is perfect may come, then that which  [is] in part shall become useless. 
46N 013:011 When I was a babe, as a babe I was speaking, as a babe I  was thinking, as a babe I was reasoning, and when I have become  a man, I have made useless the things of the babe; 
46N 013:012 for we see now through a mirror obscurely, and then face  to face; now I know in part, and then I shall fully know, as  also I was known; 
46N 013:013 and now there doth remain faith, hope, love -- these  three; and the greatest of these [is] love. 
46N 014:001 Pursue the love, and seek earnestly the spiritual things,  and rather that ye may prophecy, 
46N 014:002 for he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- to men he  doth not speak, but to God, for no one doth hearken, and in  spirit he doth speak secrets; 
46N 014:003 and he who is prophesying to men doth speak edification,  and exhortation, and comfort; 
46N 014:004 he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue, himself doth  edify, and he who is prophesying, an assembly doth edify; 
46N 014:005 and I wish you all to speak with tongues, and more that ye  may prophecy, for greater is he who is prophesying than he who  is speaking with tongues, except one may interpret, that the  assembly may receive edification. 
46N 014:006 And now, brethren, if I may come unto you speaking tongues,  what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in  revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophesying, or in teaching? 
46N 014:007 yet the things without life giving sound -- whether pipe or  harp -- if a difference in the sounds they may not give, how  shall be known that which is piped or that which is harped? 
46N 014:008 for if also an uncertain sound a trumpet may give, who  shall prepare himself for battle? 
46N 014:009 so also ye, if through the tongue, speech easily understood  ye may not give -- how shall that which is spoken be known? for  ye shall be speaking to air. 
46N 014:010 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the  world, and none of them is unmeaning, 
46N 014:011 if, then, I do not know the power of the voice, I shall be  to him who is speaking a foreigner, and he who is speaking, is  to me a foreigner; 
46N 014:012 so also ye, since ye are earnestly desirous of spiritual  gifts, for the building up of the assembly seek that ye may  abound; 
46N 014:013 wherefore he who is speaking in an [unknown] tongue -- let  him pray that he may interpret; 
46N 014:014 for if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit doth pray,  and my understanding is unfruitful. 
46N 014:015 What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, and I will  pray also with the understanding; I will sing psalms with the  spirit, and I will sing psalms also with the understanding; 
46N 014:016 since, if thou mayest bless with the spirit, he who is  filling the place of the unlearned, how shall he say the Amen  at thy giving of thanks, since what thou dost say he hath not  known? 
46N 014:017 for thou, indeed, dost give thanks well, but the other is  not built up! 
46N 014:018 I give thanks to my God -- more than you all with tongues  speaking -- 
46N 014:019 but in an assembly I wish to speak five words through my  understanding, that others also I may instruct, rather than  myriads of words in an [unknown] tongue. 
46N 014:020 Brethren, become not children in the understanding, but in  the evil be ye babes, and in the understanding become ye  perfect; 
46N 014:021 in the law it hath been written, that, `With other tongues  and with other lips I will speak to this people, and not even  so will they hear Me, saith the Lord;' 
46N 014:022 so that the tongues are for a sign, not to the believing,  but to the unbelieving; and the prophesy [is] not for the  unbelieving, but for the believing, 
46N 014:023 If, therefore, the whole assembly may come together, to  the same place, and all may speak with tongues, and there may  come in unlearned or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are  mad? 
46N 014:024 and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an  unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is  discerned by all, 
46N 014:025 and so the secrets of his heart become manifest, and so  having fallen upon [his] face, he will bow before God,  declaring that God really is among you. 
46N 014:026 What then is it, brethren? whenever ye may come together,  each of you hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a tongue, hath  a revelation, hath an interpretation? let all things be for  building up; 
46N 014:027 if an [unknown] tongue any one do speak, by two, or at the  most, by three, and in turn, and let one interpret; 
46N 014:028 and if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in  an assembly, and to himself let him speak, and to God. 
46N 014:029 And prophets -- let two or three speak, and let the others  discern, 
46N 014:030 and if to another sitting [anything] may be revealed, let  the first be silent; 
46N 014:031 for ye are able, one by one, all to prophesy, that all may  learn, and all may be exhorted, 
46N 014:032 and the spiritual gift of prophets to prophets are  subject, 
46N 014:033 for God is not [a God] of tumult, but of peace, as in all  the assemblies of the saints. 
46N 014:034 Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it  hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as  also the law saith; 
46N 014:035 and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own  husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak  in an assembly. 
46N 014:036 From you did the word of God come forth? or to you alone  did it come? 
46N 014:037 if any one doth think to be a prophet, or spiritual, let  him acknowledge the things that I write to you -- that of the  Lord they are commands; 
46N 014:038 and if any one is ignorant -- let him be ignorant; 
46N 014:039 so that, brethren, earnestly desire to prophesy, and to  speak with tongues do not forbid; 
46N 014:040 let all things be done decently and in order. 
46N 015:001 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that I  proclaimed to you, which also ye did receive, in which also ye  have stood, 
46N 015:002 through which also ye are being saved, in what words I  proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did  believe in vain, 
46N 015:003 for I delivered to you first, what also I did receive, that  Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, 
46N 015:004 and that he was buried, and that he hath risen on the third  day, according to the Writings, 
46N 015:005 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve, 
46N 015:006 afterwards he appeared to above five hundred brethren at  once, of whom the greater part remain till now, and certain  also did fall asleep; 
46N 015:007 afterwards he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 
46N 015:008 And last of all -- as to the untimely birth -- he appeared  also to me, 
46N 015:009 for I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be  called an apostle, because I did persecute the assembly of God, 
46N 015:010 and by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace that  [is] towards me came not in vain, but more abundantly than they  all did I labour, yet not I, but the grace of God that [is]  with me; 
46N 015:011 whether, then, I or they, so we preach, and so ye did  believe. 
46N 015:012 And if Christ is preached, that out of the dead he hath  risen, how say certain among you, that there is no rising again  of dead persons? 
46N 015:013 and if there be no rising again of dead persons, neither  hath Christ risen; 
46N 015:014 and if Christ hath not risen, then void [is] our  preaching, and void also your faith, 
46N 015:015 and we also are found false witnesses of God, because we  did testify of God that He raised up the Christ, whom He did  not raise if then dead persons do not rise; 
46N 015:016 for if dead persons do not rise, neither hath Christ  risen, 
46N 015:017 and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are  yet in your sins; 
46N 015:018 then, also, those having fallen asleep in Christ did  perish; 
46N 015:019 if in this life we have hope in Christ only, of all men we  are most to be pitied. 
46N 015:020 And now, Christ hath risen out of the dead -- the  first-fruits of those sleeping he became, 
46N 015:021 for since through man [is] the death, also through man  [is] a rising again of the dead, 
46N 015:022 for even as in Adam all die, so also in the Christ all  shall be made alive, 
46N 015:023 and each in his proper order, a first-fruit Christ,  afterwards those who are the Christ's, in his presence, 
46N 015:024 then -- the end, when he may deliver up the reign to God,  even the Father, when he may have made useless all rule, and  all authority and power -- 
46N 015:025 for it behoveth him to reign till he may have put all the  enemies under his feet -- 
46N 015:026 the last enemy is done away -- death; 
46N 015:027 for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one  may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident  that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him, 
46N 015:028 and when the all things may be subjected to him, then the  Son also himself shall be subject to Him, who did subject to  him the all things, that God may be the all in all. 
46N 015:029 Seeing what shall they do who are baptized for the dead,  if the dead do not rise at all? why also are they baptized for  the dead? 
46N 015:030 why also do we stand in peril every hour? 
46N 015:031 Every day do I die, by the glorying of you that I have in  Christ Jesus our Lord: 
46N 015:032 if after the manner of a man with wild beasts I fought in  Ephesus, what the advantage to me if the dead do not rise? let  us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die! 
46N 015:033 Be not led astray; evil communications corrupt good  manners; 
46N 015:034 awake up, as is right, and sin not; for certain have an  ignorance of God; for shame to you I say [it]. 
46N 015:035 But some one will say, `How do the dead rise? 
46N 015:036 unwise! thou -- what thou dost sow is not quickened except  it may die; 
46N 015:037 and that which thou dost sow, not the body that shall be  dost thou sow, but bare grain, it may be of wheat, or of some  one of the others, 
46N 015:038 and God doth give to it a body according as He willed, and  to each of the seeds its proper body. 
46N 015:039 All flesh [is] not the same flesh, but there is one flesh  of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another of fishes, and  another of birds; 
46N 015:040 and [there are] heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but  one [is] the glory of the heavenly, and another that of the  earthly; 
46N 015:041 one glory of sun, and another glory of moon, and another  glory of stars, for star from star doth differ in glory. 
46N 015:042 So also [is] the rising again of the dead: it is sown in  corruption, it is raised in incorruption; 
46N 015:043 it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown  in weakness, it is raised in power; 
46N 015:044 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body;  there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body; 
46N 015:045 so also it hath been written, `The first man Adam became a  living creature,' the last Adam [is] for a life-giving spirit, 
46N 015:046 but that which is spiritual [is] not first, but that which  [was] natural, afterwards that which [is] spiritual. 
46N 015:047 The first man [is] out of the earth, earthy; the second  man [is] the Lord out of heaven; 
46N 015:048 as [is] the earthy, such [are] also the earthy; and as  [is] the heavenly, such [are] also the heavenly; 
46N 015:049 and, according as we did bear the image of the earthy, we  shall bear also the image of the heavenly. 
46N 015:050 And this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood the reign  of God is not able to inherit, nor doth the corruption inherit  the incorruption; 
46N 015:051 lo, I tell you a secret; we indeed shall not all sleep,  and we all shall be changed; 
46N 015:052 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, in the last  trumpet, for it shall sound, and the dead shall be raised  incorruptible, and we -- we shall be changed: 
46N 015:053 for it behoveth this corruptible to put on incorruption,  and this mortal to put on immortality; 
46N 015:054 and when this corruptible may have put on incorruption,  and this mortal may have put on immortality, then shall be  brought to pass the word that hath been written, `The Death was  swallowed up -- to victory; 
46N 015:055 where, O Death, thy sting? where, O Hades, thy victory?' 
46N 015:056 and the sting of the death [is] the sin, and the power of  the sin the law; 
46N 015:057 and to God -- thanks, to Him who is giving us the victory  through our Lord Jesus Christ; 
46N 015:058 so that, my brethren beloved, become ye stedfast,  unmovable, abounding in the work of the Lord at all times,  knowing that your labour is not vain in the Lord. 
46N 016:001 And concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as  I directed to the assemblies of Galatia, so also ye -- do ye; 
46N 016:002 on every first [day] of the week, let each one of you lay  by him, treasuring up whatever he may have prospered, that when  I may come then collections may not be made; 
46N 016:003 and whenever I may come, whomsoever ye may approve, through  letters, these I will send to carry your favour to Jerusalem; 
46N 016:004 and if it be meet for me also to go, with me they shall go. 
46N 016:005 And I will come unto you, when I pass through Macedonia --  for Macedonia I do pass through -- 
46N 016:006 and with you, it may be, I will abide, or even winter, that  ye may send me forward whithersoever I go, 
46N 016:007 for I do not wish to see you now in the passing, but I hope  to remain a certain time with you, if the Lord may permit; 
46N 016:008 and I will remain in Ephesus till the Pentecost, 
46N 016:009 for a door to me hath been opened -- great and effectual --  and withstanders [are] many. 
46N 016:010 And if Timotheus may come, see that he may become without  fear with you, for the work of the Lord he doth work, even as  I, 
46N 016:011 no one, then, may despise him; and send ye him forward in  peace, that he may come to me, for I expect him with the  brethren; 
46N 016:012 and concerning Apollos our brother, much I did entreat him  that he may come unto you with the brethren, and it was not at  all [his] will that he may come now, and he will come when he  may find convenient. 
46N 016:013 Watch ye, stand in the faith; be men, be strong; 
46N 016:014 let all your things be done in love. 
46N 016:015 And I entreat you, brethren, ye have known the household  of Stephanas, that it is the first-fruit of Achaia, and to the  ministration to the saints they did set themselves -- 
46N 016:016 that ye also be subject to such, and to every one who is  working with [us] and labouring; 
46N 016:017 and I rejoice over the presence of Stephanas, and  Fortunatus, and Achaicus, because the lack of you did these  fill up; 
46N 016:018 for they did refresh my spirit and yours; acknowledge ye,  therefore, those who [are] such. 
46N 016:019 Salute you do the assemblies of Asia; salute you much in  the Lord do Aquilas and Priscilla, with the assembly in their  house; 
46N 016:020 salute you do all the brethren; salute ye one another in  an holy kiss. 
46N 016:021 The salutation of [me] Paul with my hand; 
46N 016:022 if any one doth not love the Lord Jesus Christ -- let him  be anathema! The Lord hath come! 
46N 016:023 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you; 
46N 016:024 my love [is] with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen. 
47N 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God,  and Timotheus the brother, to the assembly of God that is in  Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: 
47N 001:002 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
47N 001:003 Blessed [is] God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  the Father of the mercies, and God of all comfort, 
47N 001:004 who is comforting us in all our tribulation, for our being  able to comfort those in any tribulation through the comfort  with which we are comforted ourselves by God; 
47N 001:005 because, as the sufferings of the Christ do abound to us, so  through the Christ doth abound also our comfort; 
47N 001:006 and whether we be in tribulation, [it is] for your comfort  and salvation, that is wrought in the enduring of the same  sufferings that we also suffer; whether we are comforted, [it  is] for your comfort and salvation; 
47N 001:007 and our hope [is] stedfast for you, knowing that even as ye  are partakers of the sufferings -- so also of the comfort. 
47N 001:008 For we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, of our  tribulation that happened to us in Asia, that we were  exceedingly burdened above [our] power, so that we despaired  even of life; 
47N 001:009 but we ourselves in ourselves the sentence of the death have  had, that we may not be trusting on ourselves, but on God, who  is raising the dead, 
47N 001:010 who out of so great a death did deliver us, and doth  deliver, in whom we have hoped that even yet He will deliver; 
47N 001:011 ye working together also for us by your supplication, that  the gift through many persons to us, through many may be  thankfully acknowledged for us. 
47N 001:012 For our glorying is this: the testimony of our conscience,  that in simplicity and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom,  but in the grace of God, we did conduct ourselves in the world,  and more abundantly toward you; 
47N 001:013 for no other things do we write to you, but what ye either  do read or also acknowledge, and I hope that also unto the end  ye shall acknowledge, 
47N 001:014 according as also ye did acknowledge us in part, that your  glory we are, even as also ye [are] ours, in the day of the  Lord Jesus; 
47N 001:015 and in this confidence I was purposing to come unto you  before, that a second favour ye might have, 
47N 001:016 and through you to pass to Macedonia, and again from  Macedonia to come unto you, and by you to be sent forward to  Judea. 
47N 001:017 This, therefore, counselling, did I then use the lightness;  or the things that I counsel, according to the flesh do I  counsel, that it may be with me Yes, yes, and No, no? 
47N 001:018 and God [is] faithful, that our word unto you became not  Yes and No, 
47N 001:019 for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, among you through us  having been preached -- through me and Silvanus and Timotheus --  did not become Yes and No, but in him it hath become Yes; 
47N 001:020 for as many as [are] promises of God, in him [are] the Yes,  and in him the Amen, for glory to God through us; 
47N 001:021 and He who is confirming you with us into Christ, and did  anoint us, [is] God, 
47N 001:022 who also sealed us, and gave the earnest of the Spirit in  our hearts. 
47N 001:023 And I for a witness on God do call upon my soul, that  sparing you, I came not yet to Corinth; 
47N 001:024 not that we are lords over your faith, but we are workers  together with your joy, for by the faith ye stand. 
47N 002:001 And I decided this to myself, not again to come in sorrow  unto you, 
47N 002:002 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me  glad, except he who is made sorry by me? 
47N 002:003 and I wrote to you this same thing, that having come, I may  not have sorrow from them of whom it behoved me to have joy,  having confidence in you all, that my joy is of you all, 
47N 002:004 for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to  you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but  that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward  you. 
47N 002:005 And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow  to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all; 
47N 002:006 sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by  the more part, 
47N 002:007 so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive  and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be  swallowed up; 
47N 002:008 wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him, 
47N 002:009 for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof  of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient. 
47N 002:010 And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I  have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because  of you -- in the person of Christ -- [I forgive it,] 
47N 002:011 that we may not be over-reached by the Adversary, for of  his devices we are not ignorant. 
47N 002:012 And having come to Troas for the good news of the Christ,  and a door to me having been opened in the Lord, 
47N 002:013 I have not had rest to my spirit, on my not finding Titus  my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went forth to  Macedonia; 
47N 002:014 and to God [are] thanks, who at all times is leading us in  triumph in the Christ, and the fragrance of His knowledge He is  manifesting through us in every place, 
47N 002:015 because of Christ a sweet fragrance we are to God, in those  being saved, and in those being lost; 
47N 002:016 to the one, indeed, a fragrance of death to death, and to  the other, a fragrance of life to life; and for these things  who is sufficient? 
47N 002:017 for we are not as the many, adulterating the word of God, but  as of sincerity -- but as of God; in the presence of God, in  Christ we do speak. 
47N 003:001 Do we begin again to recommend ourselves, except we need, as  some, letters of recommendation unto you, or from you? 
47N 003:002 our letter ye are, having been written in our hearts, known  and read by all men, 
47N 003:003 manifested that ye are a letter of Christ ministered by us,  written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God,  not in the tablets of stone, but in fleshy tablets of the  heart, 
47N 003:004 and such trust we have through the Christ toward God, 
47N 003:005 not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything,  as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God, 
47N 003:006 who also made us sufficient [to be] ministrants of a new  covenant, not of letter, but of spirit; for the letter doth  kill, and the spirit doth make alive. 
47N 003:007 and if the ministration of the death, in letters, engraved  in stones, came in glory, so that the sons of Israel were not  able to look stedfastly to the face of Moses, because of the  glory of his face -- which was being made useless, 
47N 003:008 how shall the ministration of the Spirit not be more in  glory? 
47N 003:009 for if the ministration of the condemnation [is] glory, much  more doth the ministration of the righteousness abound in  glory; 
47N 003:010 for also even that which hath been glorious, hath not been  glorious -- in this respect, because of the superior glory; 
47N 003:011 for if that which is being made useless [is] through glory,  much more that which is remaining [is] in glory. 
47N 003:012 Having, then, such hope, we use much freedom of speech, 
47N 003:013 and [are] not as Moses, who was putting a vail upon his own  face, for the sons of Israel not stedfastly to look to the end  of that which is being made useless, 
47N 003:014 but their minds were hardened, for unto this day the same  vail at the reading of the Old Covenant doth remain unwithdrawn  -- which in Christ is being made useless -- 
47N 003:015 but till to-day, when Moses is read, a vail upon their  heart doth lie, 
47N 003:016 and whenever they may turn unto the Lord, the vail is taken  away. 
47N 003:017 And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the  Lord [is], there [is] liberty; 
47N 003:018 and we all, with unvailed face, the glory of the Lord  beholding in a mirror, to the same image are being transformed,  from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 
47N 004:001 Because of this, having this ministration, according as we  did receive kindness, we do not faint, 
47N 004:002 but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame,  not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of  God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending  ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God; 
47N 004:003 and if also our good news is vailed, in those perishing it  is vailed, 
47N 004:004 in whom the god of this age did blind the minds of the  unbelieving, that there doth not shine forth to them the  enlightening of the good news of the glory of the Christ, who  is the image of God; 
47N 004:005 for not ourselves do we preach, but Christ Jesus -- Lord,  and ourselves your servants because of Jesus; 
47N 004:006 because [it is] God who said, Out of darkness light [is] to  shine, who did shine in our hearts, for the enlightening of the  knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 
47N 004:007 And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the  excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us; 
47N 004:008 on every side being in tribulation, but not straitened;  perplexed, but not in despair; 
47N 004:009 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 
47N 004:010 at all times the dying of the Lord Jesus bearing about in  the body, that the life also of Jesus in our body may be  manifested, 
47N 004:011 for always are we who are living delivered up to death  because of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested  in our dying flesh, 
47N 004:012 so that, the death indeed in us doth work, and the life in  you. 
47N 004:013 And having the same spirit of the faith, according to that  which hath been written, `I believed, therefore I did speak;'  we also do believe, therefore also do we speak; 
47N 004:014 knowing that He who did raise up the Lord Jesus, us also  through Jesus shall raise up, and shall present with you, 
47N 004:015 for the all things [are] because of you, that the grace  having been multiplied, because of the thanksgiving of the  more, may abound to the glory of God; 
47N 004:016 wherefore, we faint not, but if also our outward man doth  decay, yet the inward is renewed day by day; 
47N 004:017 for the momentary light matter of our tribulation, more and  more exceedingly an age-during weight of glory doth work out  for us -- 
47N 004:018 we not looking to the things seen, but to the things not  seen; for the things seen [are] temporary, but the things not  seen [are] age-during. 
47N 005:001 For we have known that if our earthly house of the  tabernacle may be thrown down, a building from God we have, an  house not made with hands -- age-during -- in the heavens, 
47N 005:002 for also in this we groan, with our dwelling that is from  heaven earnestly desiring to clothe ourselves, 
47N 005:003 if so be that, having clothed ourselves, we shall not be  found naked, 
47N 005:004 for we also who are in the tabernacle do groan, being  burdened, seeing we wish not to unclothe ourselves, but to  clothe ourselves, that the mortal may be swallowed up of the  life. 
47N 005:005 And He who did work us to this self-same thing [is] God, who  also did give to us the earnest of the Spirit; 
47N 005:006 having courage, then, at all times, and knowing that being  at home in the body, we are away from home from the Lord, -- 
47N 005:007 for through faith we walk, not through sight -- 
47N 005:008 we have courage, and are well pleased rather to be away from  the home of the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 
47N 005:009 Wherefore also we are ambitious, whether at home or away  from home, to be well pleasing to him, 
47N 005:010 for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the  tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things  [done] through the body, in reference to the things that he  did, whether good or evil; 
47N 005:011 having known, therefore, the fear of the Lord, we persuade  men, and to God we are manifested, and I hope also in your  consciences to have been manifested; 
47N 005:012 for not again ourselves do we recommend to you, but we are  giving occasion to you of glorifying in our behalf, that ye may  have [something] in reference to those glorifying in face and  not in heart; 
47N 005:013 for whether we were beside ourselves, [it was] to God;  whether we be of sound mind -- [it is] to you, 
47N 005:014 for the love of the Christ doth constrain us, having judged  thus: that if one for all died, then the whole died, 
47N 005:015 and for all he died, that those living, no more to  themselves may live, but to him who died for them, and was  raised again. 
47N 005:016 So that we henceforth have known no one according to the  flesh, and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh,  yet now we know him no more; 
47N 005:017 so that if any one [is] in Christ -- [he is] a new  creature; the old things did pass away, lo, become new have the  all things. 
47N 005:018 And the all things [are] of God, who reconciled us to  Himself through Jesus Christ, and did give to us the  ministration of the reconciliation, 
47N 005:019 how that God was in Christ -- a world reconciling to  Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses; and having put  in us the word of the reconciliation, 
47N 005:020 in behalf of Christ, then, we are ambassadors, as if God  were calling through us, we beseech, in behalf of Christ, `Be  ye reconciled to God;' 
47N 005:021 for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make  sin, that we may become the righteousness of God in him. 
47N 006:001 And working together also we call upon [you] that ye receive  not in vain the grace of God -- 
47N 006:002 for He saith, `In an acceptable time I did hear thee, and in  a day of salvation I did help thee, lo, now [is] a  well-accepted time; lo, now, a day of salvation,' -- 
47N 006:003 in nothing giving any cause of offence, that the  ministration may be not blamed, 
47N 006:004 but in everything recommending ourselves as God's  ministrants; in much patience, in tribulations, in necessities,  in distresses, 
47N 006:005 in stripes, in imprisonments, in insurrections, in labours,  in watchings, in fastings, 
47N 006:006 in pureness, in knowledge, in long-suffering, in kindness,  in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned, 
47N 006:007 in the word of truth, in the power of God, through the  armour of the righteousness, on the right and on the left, 
47N 006:008 through glory and dishonour, through evil report and good  report, as leading astray, and true; 
47N 006:009 as unknown, and recognized; as dying, and lo, we live; as  chastened, and not put to death; 
47N 006:010 as sorrowful, and always rejoicing; as poor, and making  many rich; as having nothing, and possessing all things. 
47N 006:011 Our mouth hath been open unto you, O Corinthians, our heart  hath been enlarged! 
47N 006:012 ye are not straitened in us, and ye are straitened in your  [own] bowels, 
47N 006:013 and [as] a recompense of the same kind, (as to children I  say [it],) be ye enlarged -- also ye! 
47N 006:014 Become not yoked with others -- unbelievers, for what  partaking [is there] to righteousness and lawlessness? 
47N 006:015 and what fellowship to light with darkness? and what  concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a believer with  an unbeliever? 
47N 006:016 and what agreement to the sanctuary of God with idols? for  ye are a sanctuary of the living God, according as God said --  `I will dwell in them, and will walk among [them], and I will  be their God, and they shall be My people, 
47N 006:017 wherefore, come ye forth out of the midst of them, and be  separated, saith the Lord, and an unclean thing do not touch,  and I -- I will receive you, 
47N 006:018 and I will be to you for a Father, and ye -- ye shall be to  Me for sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.' 
47N 007:001 Having, then, these promises, beloved, may we cleanse  ourselves from every pollution of flesh and spirit, perfecting  sanctification in the fear of God; 
47N 007:002 receive us; no one did we wrong; no one did we waste; no one  did we defraud; 
47N 007:003 not to condemn you do I say [it], for I have said before  that in our hearts ye are to die with and to live with; 
47N 007:004 great [is] my freedom of speech unto you, great my glory on  your behalf; I have been filled with the comfort, I overabound  with the joy on all our tribulation, 
47N 007:005 for also we, having come to Macedonia, no relaxation hath  our flesh had, but on every side we are in tribulation, without  [are] fightings, within -- fears; 
47N 007:006 but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did  comfort us in the presence of Titus; 
47N 007:007 and not only in his presence, but also in the comfort with  which he was comforted over you, declaring to us your longing  desire, your lamentation, your zeal for me, so that the more I  did rejoice, 
47N 007:008 because even if I made you sorry in the letter, I do not  repent -- if even I did repent -- for I perceive that the  letter, even if for an hour, did make you sorry. 
47N 007:009 I now do rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye  were made sorry to reformation, for ye were made sorry toward  God, that in nothing ye might receive damage from us; 
47N 007:010 for the sorrow toward God reformation to salvation not to  be repented of doth work, and the sorrow of the world doth work  death, 
47N 007:011 for, lo, this same thing -- your being made sorry toward  God -- how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but  displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but  revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in  the matter. 
47N 007:012 If, then, I also wrote to you -- not for his cause who did  wrong, nor for his cause who did suffer wrong, but for our  diligence in your behalf being manifested unto you before God  -- 
47N 007:013 because of this we have been comforted in your comfort, and  more abundantly the more did we rejoice in the joy of Titus,  that his spirit hath been refreshed from you all; 
47N 007:014 because if anything to him in your behalf I have boasted, I  was not put to shame; but as all things in truth we did speak  to you, so also our boasting before Titus became truth, 
47N 007:015 and his tender affection is more abundantly toward you,  remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and  trembling ye did receive him; 
47N 007:016 I rejoice, therefore, that in everything I have courage in  you. 
47N 008:001 And we make known to you, brethren, the grace of God, that  hath been given in the assemblies of Macedonia, 
47N 008:002 because in much trial of tribulation the abundance of their  joy, and their deep poverty, did abound to the riches of their  liberality; 
47N 008:003 because, according to [their] power, I testify, and above  [their] power, they were willing of themselves, 
47N 008:004 with much entreaty calling on us to receive the favour and  the fellowship of the ministration to the saints, 
47N 008:005 and not according as we expected, but themselves they did  give first to the Lord, and to us, through the will of God, 
47N 008:006 so that we exhorted Titus, that, according as he did begin  before, so also he may finish to you also this favour, 
47N 008:007 but even as in every thing ye do abound, in faith, and word,  and knowledge, and all diligence, and in your love to us, that  also in this grace ye may abound; 
47N 008:008 not according to command do I speak, but because of the  diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness, 
47N 008:009 for ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that because  of you he became poor -- being rich, that ye by that poverty  may become rich. 
47N 008:010 and an opinion in this do I give: for this to you [is]  expedient, who not only to do, but also to will, did begin  before -- a year ago, 
47N 008:011 and now also finish doing [it], that even as [there is] the  readiness of the will, so also the finishing, out of that which  ye have, 
47N 008:012 for if the willing mind is present, according to that which  any one may have it is well-accepted, not according to that  which he hath not; 
47N 008:013 for not that for others release, and ye pressured, [do I  speak,] 
47N 008:014 but by equality, at the present time your abundance -- for  their want, that also their abundance may be for your want,  that there may be equality, 
47N 008:015 according as it hath been written, `He who [did gather]  much, had nothing over; and he who [did gather] little, had no  lack.' 
47N 008:016 And thanks to God, who is putting the same diligence for  you in the heart of Titus, 
47N 008:017 because indeed the exhortation he accepted, and being more  diligent, of his own accord he went forth unto you, 
47N 008:018 and we sent with him the brother, whose praise in the good  news [is] through all the assemblies, 
47N 008:019 and not only so, but who was also appointed by vote by the  assemblies, our fellow-traveller, with this favour that is  ministered by us, unto the glory of the same Lord, and your  willing mind; 
47N 008:020 avoiding this, lest any one may blame us in this abundance  that is ministered by us, 
47N 008:021 providing right things, not only before the Lord, but also  before men; 
47N 008:022 and we sent with them our brother, whom we proved in many  things many times being diligent, and now much more diligent,  by the great confidence that is toward you, 
47N 008:023 whether -- about Titus -- my partner and towards you  fellow-worker, whether -- our brethren, apostles of assemblies  -- glory of Christ; 
47N 008:024 the shewing therefore of your love, and of our boasting on  your behalf, to them shew ye, even in the face of the  assemblies. 
47N 009:001 For, indeed, concerning the ministration that [is] for the  saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you, 
47N 009:002 for I have known your readiness of mind, which in your  behalf I boast of to Macedonians, that Achaia hath been  prepared a year ago, and the zeal of you did stir up the more  part, 
47N 009:003 and I sent the brethren, that our boasting on your behalf  may not be made vain in this respect; that, according as I  said, ye may be ready, 
47N 009:004 lest if Macedonians may come with me, and find you  unprepared, we -- we may be put to shame (that we say not --  ye) in this same confidence of boasting. 
47N 009:005 Necessary, therefore, I thought [it] to exhort the brethren,  that they may go before to you, and may make up before your  formerly announced blessing, that this be ready, as a blessing,  and not as covetousness. 
47N 009:006 And this: He who is sowing sparingly, sparingly also shall  reap; and he who is sowing in blessings, in blessings also  shall reap; 
47N 009:007 each one, according as he doth purpose in heart, not out of  sorrow or out of necessity, for a cheerful giver doth God love, 
47N 009:008 and God [is] able all grace to cause to abound to you, that  in every thing always all sufficiency having, ye may abound to  every good work, 
47N 009:009 (according as it hath been written, `He dispersed abroad, he  gave to the poor, his righteousness doth remain to the age,') 
47N 009:010 and may He who is supplying seed to the sower, and bread  for food, supply and multiply your seed sown, and increase the  fruits of your righteousness, 
47N 009:011 in every thing being enriched to all liberality, which doth  work through us thanksgiving to God, 
47N 009:012 because the ministration of this service not only is  supplying the wants of the saints, but is also abounding  through many thanksgivings to God, 
47N 009:013 through the proof of this ministration glorifying God for  the subjection of your confession to the good news of the  Christ, and [for] the liberality of the fellowship to them and  to all, 
47N 009:014 and by their supplication in your behalf, longing after you  because of the exceeding grace of God upon you; 
47N 009:015 thanks also to God for His unspeakable gift! 
47N 010:001 And I, Paul, myself, do call upon you -- through the  meekness and gentleness of the Christ -- who in presence,  indeed [am] humble among you, and being absent, have courage  toward you, 
47N 010:002 and I beseech [you], that, being present, I may not have  courage, with the confidence with which I reckon to be bold  against certain reckoning us as walking according to the flesh; 
47N 010:003 for walking in the flesh, not according to the flesh do we  war, 
47N 010:004 for the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but  powerful to God for bringing down of strongholds, 
47N 010:005 reasonings bringing down, and every high thing lifted up  against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every  thought to the obedience of the Christ, 
47N 010:006 and being in readiness to avenge every disobedience,  whenever your obedience may be fulfilled. 
47N 010:007 The things in presence do ye see? if any one hath trusted  in himself to be Christ's, this let him reckon again from  himself, that according as he is Christ's, so also we [are]  Christ's; 
47N 010:008 for even if also anything more abundantly I shall boast  concerning our authority, that the Lord gave us for building  up, and not for casting you down, I shall not be ashamed; 
47N 010:009 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you through the  letters, 
47N 010:010 `because the letters indeed -- saith one -- [are] weighty  and strong, and the bodily presence weak, and the speech  despicable.' 
47N 010:011 This one -- let him reckon thus: that such as we are in  word, through letters, being absent, such also, being present,  [we are] in deed. 
47N 010:012 For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves  with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among  themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with  themselves, are not wise, 
47N 010:013 and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast  ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of  measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you; 
47N 010:014 for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves  overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the  Christ, 
47N 010:015 not boasting of the things not measured, in other men's  labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to  be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance, 
47N 010:016 in the [places] beyond you to proclaim good news, not in  another's line in regard to the things made ready, to boast; 
47N 010:017 and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast; 
47N 010:018 for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he  whom the Lord doth commend. 
47N 011:001 O that ye were bearing with me a little of the folly, but  ye also do bear with me: 
47N 011:002 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I did  betroth you to one husband, a pure virgin, to present to  Christ, 
47N 011:003 and I fear, lest, as the serpent did beguile Eve in his  subtilty, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity  that [is] in the Christ; 
47N 011:004 for if, indeed, he who is coming doth preach another Jesus  whom we did not preach, or another Spirit ye receive which ye  did not receive, or other good news which ye did not accept --  well were ye bearing [it], 
47N 011:005 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very  chiefest apostles, 
47N 011:006 and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but  in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you. 
47N 011:007 The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be  exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to  you? 
47N 011:008 other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your  ministration; 
47N 011:009 and being present with you, and having been in want, I was  chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply --  having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to  you I did keep myself, and will keep. 
47N 011:010 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall  not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia; 
47N 011:011 wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known! 
47N 011:012 and what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the  occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they  boast they may be found according as we also; 
47N 011:013 for those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers,  transforming themselves into apostles of Christ, 
47N 011:014 and no wonder -- for even the Adversary doth transform  himself into a messenger of light; 
47N 011:015 no great thing, then, if also his ministrants do transform  themselves as ministrants of righteousness -- whose end shall  be according to their works. 
47N 011:016 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if  otherwise, even as a fool receive me, that I also a little may  boast. 
47N 011:017 That which I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but  as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting; 
47N 011:018 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will  boast: 
47N 011:019 for gladly do ye bear with the fools -- being wise, 
47N 011:020 for ye bear, if any one is bringing you under bondage, if  any one doth devour, if any one doth take away, if any one doth  exalt himself, if any one on the face doth smite you; 
47N 011:021 in reference to dishonour I speak, how that we were weak,  and in whatever any one is bold -- in foolishness I say [it] --  I also am bold. 
47N 011:022 Hebrews are they? I also! Israelites are they? I also!  seed of Abraham are they? I also! 
47N 011:023 ministrants of Christ are they? -- as beside myself I  speak -- I more; in labours more abundantly, in stripes above  measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times; 
47N 011:024 from Jews five times forty [stripes] save one I did  receive; 
47N 011:025 thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice  was I shipwrecked, a night and a day in the deep I have passed; 
47N 011:026 journeyings many times, perils of rivers, perils of  robbers, perils from kindred, perils from nations, perils in  city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false  brethren; 
47N 011:027 in laboriousness and painfulness, in watchings many times,  in hunger and thirst, in fastings many times, in cold and  nakedness; 
47N 011:028 apart from the things without -- the crowding upon me that  is daily -- the care of all the assemblies. 
47N 011:029 Who is infirm, and I am not infirm? who is stumbled, and I  am not fired; 
47N 011:030 if to boast it behoveth [me], of the things of my  infirmity I will boast; 
47N 011:031 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ -- who is  blessed to the ages -- hath known that I do not lie! -- 
47N 011:032 In Damascus the ethnarch of Aretas the king was watching  the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me, 
47N 011:033 and through a window in a rope basket I was let down,  through the wall, and fled out of his hands. 
47N 012:001 To boast, really, is not profitable for me, for I will come  to visions and revelations of the Lord. 
47N 012:002 I have known a man in Christ, fourteen years ago -- whether  in the body I have not known, whether out of the body I have  not known, God hath known -- such an one being caught away unto  the third heaven; 
47N 012:003 and I have known such a man -- whether in the body, whether  out of the body, I have not known, God hath known, -- 
47N 012:004 that he was caught away to the paradise, and heard  unutterable sayings, that it is not possible for man to speak. 
47N 012:005 Of such an one I will boast, and of myself I will not  boast, except in my infirmities, 
47N 012:006 for if I may wish to boast, I shall not be a fool, for  truth I will say; but I forebear, lest any one in regard to me  may think anything above what he doth see me, or doth hear  anything of me; 
47N 012:007 and that by the exceeding greatness of the revelations I  might not be exalted overmuch, there was given to me a thorn in  the flesh, a messenger of the Adversary, that he might buffet  me, that I might not be exalted overmuch. 
47N 012:008 Concerning this thing thrice the Lord did I call upon, that  it might depart from me, 
47N 012:009 and He said to me, `Sufficient for thee is My grace, for My  power in infirmity is perfected;' most gladly, therefore, will  I rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of the Christ  may rest on me: 
47N 012:010 wherefore I am well pleased in infirmities, in damages, in  necessities, in persecutions, in distresses -- for Christ; for  whenever I am infirm, then I am powerful; 
47N 012:011 I have become a fool -- boasting; ye -- ye did compel me;  for I ought by you to have been commended, for in nothing was I  behind the very chiefest apostles -- even if I am nothing. 
47N 012:012 The signs, indeed, of the apostle were wrought among you  in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds, 
47N 012:013 for what is there in which ye were inferior to the rest of  the assemblies, except that I myself was not a burden to you?  forgive me this injustice! 
47N 012:014 Lo, a third time I am ready to come unto you, and I will  not be a burden to you, for I seek not yours, but you, for the  children ought not for the parents to lay up, but the parents  for the children, 
47N 012:015 and I most gladly will spend and be entirely spent for  your souls, even if, more abundantly loving you, less I am  loved. 
47N 012:016 And be it [so], I -- I did not burden you, but being  crafty, with guile I did take you; 
47N 012:017 any one of those whom I have sent unto you -- by him did I  take advantage of you? 
47N 012:018 I entreated Titus, and did send with [him] the brother;  did Titus take advantage of you? in the same spirit did we not  walk? -- did we not in the same steps? 
47N 012:019 Again, think ye that to you we are making defence? before  God in Christ do we speak; and the all things, beloved, [are]  for your up-building, 
47N 012:020 for I fear lest, having come, not such as I wish I may  find you, and I -- I may be found by you such as ye do not  wish, lest there be strifes, envyings, wraths, revelries,  evil-speakings, whisperings, puffings up, insurrections, 
47N 012:021 lest again having come, my God may humble me in regard to  you, and I may bewail many of those having sinned before, and  not having reformed concerning the uncleanness, and whoredom,  and lasciviousness, that they did practise. 
47N 013:001 This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two  witnesses or three shall every saying be established; 
47N 013:002 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being  present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to  those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come  again, I will not spare, 
47N 013:003 since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to  you is not infirm, but is powerful in you, 
47N 013:004 for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth  live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we  shall live with him from the power of God toward you. 
47N 013:005 Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your  ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus  Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of? 
47N 013:006 and I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not  disapproved of; 
47N 013:007 and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may  appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we  may be as disapproved; 
47N 013:008 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but  for the truth; 
47N 013:009 for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be  powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection! 
47N 013:010 because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write,  that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to  the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and  not for casting down. 
47N 013:011 Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be  comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the  love and peace shall be with you; 
47N 013:012 salute one another in an holy kiss; 
47N 013:013 salute you do all the saints; 
47N 013:014 the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God,  and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.  
48N 001:001 Paul, an apostle -- not from men, nor through man, but  through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who did raise him  out of the dead -- 
48N 001:002 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia: 
48N 001:003 Grace to you, and peace from God the Father, and our Lord  Jesus Christ, 
48N 001:004 who did give himself for our sins, that he might deliver us  out of the present evil age, according to the will of God even  our Father, 
48N 001:005 to whom [is] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen. 
48N 001:006 I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did  call you in the grace of Christ to another good news; 
48N 001:007 that is not another, except there be certain who are  troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the  Christ; 
48N 001:008 but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim  good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you --  anathema let him be! 
48N 001:009 as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you  may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive --  anathema let him be! 
48N 001:010 for now men do I persuade, or God? or do I seek to please  men? for if yet men I did please -- Christ's servant I should  not be. 
48N 001:011 And I make known to you, brethren, the good news that were  proclaimed by me, that it is not according to man, 
48N 001:012 for neither did I from man receive it, nor was I taught  [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ, 
48N 001:013 for ye did hear of my behaviour once in Judaism, that  exceedingly I was persecuting the assembly of God, and wasting  it, 
48N 001:014 and I was advancing in Judaism above many equals in age in  mine own race, being more abundantly zealous of my fathers'  deliverances, 
48N 001:015 and when God was well pleased -- having separated me from  the womb of my mother, and having called [me] through His  grace -- 
48N 001:016 to reveal His Son in me, that I might proclaim him good  news among the nations, immediately I conferred not with flesh  and blood, 
48N 001:017 nor did I go up to Jerusalem unto those who were apostles  before me, but I went away to Arabia, and again returned to  Damascus, 
48N 001:018 then, after three years I went up to Jerusalem to enquire  about Peter, and remained with him fifteen days, 
48N 001:019 and other of the apostles I did not see, except James, the  brother of the Lord. 
48N 001:020 And the things that I write to you, lo, before God -- I lie  not; 
48N 001:021 then I came to the regions of Syria and of Cilicia, 
48N 001:022 and was unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea, that  [are] in Christ, 
48N 001:023 and only they were hearing, that `he who is persecuting us  then, doth now proclaim good news -- the faith that then he was  wasting;' 
48N 001:024 and they were glorifying God in me. 
48N 002:001 Then, after fourteen years again I went up to Jerusalem with  Barnabas, having taken with me also Titus; 
48N 002:002 and I went up by revelation, and did submit to them the good  news that I preach among the nations, and privately to those  esteemed, lest in vain I might run or did run; 
48N 002:003 but not even Titus, who [is] with me, being a Greek, was  compelled to be circumcised -- 
48N 002:004 and [that] because of the false brethren brought in  unawares, who did come in privily to spy out our liberty that  we have in Christ Jesus, that us they might bring under  bondage, 
48N 002:005 to whom not even for an hour we gave place by subjection,  that the truth of the good news might remain to you. 
48N 002:006 And from those who were esteemed to be something -- whatever  they were then, it maketh no difference to me -- the face of  man God accepteth not, for -- to me those esteemed did add  nothing, 
48N 002:007 but, on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted  with the good news of the uncircumcision, as Peter with [that]  of the circumcision, 
48N 002:008 for He who did work with Peter to the apostleship of the  circumcision, did work also in me in regard to the nations, 
48N 002:009 and having known the grace that was given to me, James, and  Cephas, and John, who were esteemed to be pillars, a right  hand of fellowship they did give to me, and to Barnabas, that  we to the nations, and they to the circumcision [may go], 
48N 002:010 only, of the poor that we should be mindful, which also I  was diligent -- this very thing -- to do. 
48N 002:011 And when Peter came to Antioch, to the face I stood up  against him, because he was blameworthy, 
48N 002:012 for before the coming of certain from James, with the  nations he was eating, and when they came, he was withdrawing  and separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision, 
48N 002:013 and dissemble with him also did the other Jews, so that  also Barnabas was carried away by their dissimulation. 
48N 002:014 But when I saw that they are not walking uprightly to the  truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, `If thou,  being a Jew, in the manner of the nations dost live, and not in  the manner of the Jews, how the nations dost thou compel to  Judaize? 
48N 002:015 we by nature Jews, and not sinners of the nations, 
48N 002:016 having known also that a man is not declared righteous by  works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we  in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared  righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law,  wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no  flesh.' 
48N 002:017 And if, seeking to be declared righteous in Christ, we  ourselves also were found sinners, [is] then Christ a  ministrant of sin? let it not be! 
48N 002:018 for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a  transgressor I set myself forth; 
48N 002:019 for I through law, did die, that to God I may live; 
48N 002:020 with Christ I have been crucified, and live no more do I,  and Christ doth live in me; and that which I now live in the  flesh -- in the faith I live of the Son of God, who did love me  and did give himself for me; 
48N 002:021 I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness  [be] through law -- then Christ died in vain. 
48N 003:001 O thoughtless Galatians, who did bewitch you, not to obey  the truth -- before whose eyes Jesus Christ was described  before among you crucified? 
48N 003:002 this only do I wish to learn from you -- by works of law the  Spirit did ye receive, or by the hearing of faith? 
48N 003:003 so thoughtless are ye! having begun in the Spirit, now in  the flesh do ye end? 
48N 003:004 so many things did ye suffer in vain! if, indeed, even in  vain. 
48N 003:005 He, therefore, who is supplying to you the Spirit, and  working mighty acts among you -- by works of law or by the  hearing of faith [is it]? 
48N 003:006 according as Abraham did believe God, and it was reckoned to  him -- to righteousness; 
48N 003:007 know ye, then, that those of faith -- these are sons of  Abraham, 
48N 003:008 and the Writing having foreseen that by faith God doth  declare righteous the nations did proclaim before the good news  to Abraham -- 
48N 003:009 `Blessed in thee shall be all the nations;' so that those of  faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham, 
48N 003:010 for as many as are of works of law are under a curse, for  it hath been written, `Cursed [is] every one who is not  remaining in all things that have been written in the Book of  the Law -- to do them,' 
48N 003:011 and that in law no one is declared righteous with God, is  evident, because `The righteous by faith shall live;' 
48N 003:012 and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them  shall live in them.' 
48N 003:013 Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having  become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is  every one who is hanging on a tree,' 
48N 003:014 that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in  Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive  through the faith. 
48N 003:015 Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed  covenant no one doth make void or doth add to, 
48N 003:016 and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed;  He doth not say, `And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one,  `And to thy seed,' which is Christ; 
48N 003:017 and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to  Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after,  doth not set aside, to make void the promise, 
48N 003:018 for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by  promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it]. 
48N 003:019 Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was  added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been  made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand  of a mediator -- 
48N 003:020 and the mediator is not of one, and God is one -- 
48N 003:021 the law, then, [is] against the promises of God? -- let it  not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive,  truly by law there would have been the righteousness, 
48N 003:022 but the Writing did shut up the whole under sin, that the  promise by faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those  believing. 
48N 003:023 And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being  kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, 
48N 003:024 so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ,  that by faith we may be declared righteous, 
48N 003:025 and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor  are we, 
48N 003:026 for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ  Jesus, 
48N 003:027 for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ; 
48N 003:028 there is not here Jew or Greek, there is not here servant  nor freeman, there is not here male and female, for all ye are  one in Christ Jesus; 
48N 003:029 and if ye [are] of Christ then of Abraham ye are seed, and  according to promise -- heirs. 
48N 004:001 And I say, so long time as the heir is a babe, he differeth  nothing from a servant -- being lord of all, 
48N 004:002 but is under tutors and stewards till the time appointed of  the father, 
48N 004:003 so also we, when we were babes, under the elements of the  world were in servitude, 
48N 004:004 and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His  Son, come of a woman, come under law, 
48N 004:005 that those under law he may redeem, that the adoption of  sons we may receive; 
48N 004:006 and because ye are sons, God did send forth the spirit of  His Son into your hearts, crying, `Abba, Father!' 
48N 004:007 so that thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son,  also an heir of God through Christ. 
48N 004:008 But then, indeed, not having known God, ye were in servitude  to those not by nature gods, 
48N 004:009 and now, having known God -- and rather being known by God  -- how turn ye again unto the weak and poor elements to which  anew ye desire to be in servitude? 
48N 004:010 days ye observe, and months, and times, and years! 
48N 004:011 I am afraid of you, lest in vain I did labour toward you. 
48N 004:012 Become as I [am] -- because I also [am] as ye brethren, I  beseech you; to me ye did no hurt, 
48N 004:013 and ye have known that through infirmity of the flesh I did  proclaim good news to you at the first, 
48N 004:014 and my trial that [is] in my flesh ye did not despise nor  reject, but as a messenger of God ye did receive me -- as  Christ Jesus; 
48N 004:015 what then was your happiness? for I testify to you, that if  possible, your eyes having plucked out, ye would have given to  me; 
48N 004:016 so that your enemy have I become, being true to you? 
48N 004:017 they are zealous for you -- [yet] not well, but they wish  to shut us out, that for them ye may be zealous; 
48N 004:018 and [it is] good to be zealously regarded, in what is good,  at all times, and not only in my being present with you; 
48N 004:019 my little children, of whom again I travail in birth, till  Christ may be formed in you, 
48N 004:020 and I was wishing to be present with you now, and to change  my voice, because I am in doubt about you. 
48N 004:021 Tell me, ye who are willing to be under law, the law do ye  not hear? 
48N 004:022 for it hath been written, that Abraham had two sons, one by  the maid-servant, and one by the free-woman, 
48N 004:023 but he who [is] of the maid-servant, according to flesh  hath been, and he who [is] of the free-woman, through the  promise; 
48N 004:024 which things are allegorized, for these are the two  covenants: one, indeed, from mount Sinai, to servitude bringing  forth, which is Hagar; 
48N 004:025 for this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and doth  correspond to the Jerusalem that now [is], and is in servitude  with her children, 
48N 004:026 and the Jerusalem above is the free-woman, which is mother  of us all, 
48N 004:027 for it hath been written, `Rejoice, O barren, who art not  bearing; break forth and cry, thou who art not travailing,  because many [are] the children of the desolate -- more than of  her having the husband.' 
48N 004:028 And we, brethren, as Isaac, are children of promise, 
48N 004:029 but as then he who was born according to the flesh did  persecute him according to the spirit, so also now; 
48N 004:030 but what saith the Writing? `Cast forth the maid-servant  and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir  with the son of the free-woman;' 
48N 004:031 then, brethren, we are not a maid-servant's children, but  the free-woman's. 
48N 005:001 In the freedom, then, with which Christ did make you free --  stand ye, and be not held fast again by a yoke of servitude; 
48N 005:002 lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ  shall profit you nothing; 
48N 005:003 and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a  debtor to do the whole law; 
48N 005:004 ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared  righteous; from the grace ye fell away; 
48N 005:005 for we by the Spirit, by faith, a hope of righteousness do  wait for, 
48N 005:006 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything,  nor uncircumcision, but faith through love working. 
48N 005:007 Ye were running well; who did hinder you -- not to obey the  truth? 
48N 005:008 the obedience [is] not of him who is calling you! 
48N 005:009 a little leaven the whole lump doth leaven; 
48N 005:010 I have confidence in regard to you in the Lord, that ye  will be none otherwise minded; and he who is troubling you  shall bear the judgment, whoever he may be. 
48N 005:011 And I, brethren, if uncircumcision I yet preach, why yet am  I persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been  done away; 
48N 005:012 O that even they would cut themselves off who are  unsettling you! 
48N 005:013 For ye -- to freedom ye were called, brethren, only not the  freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through the love  serve ye one another, 
48N 005:014 for all the law in one word is fulfilled -- in this: `Thou  shalt love thy neighbor as thyself;' 
48N 005:015 and if one another ye do bite and devour, see -- that ye  may not by one another be consumed. 
48N 005:016 And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the  flesh ye may not complete; 
48N 005:017 for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the  Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to  another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not  do; 
48N 005:018 and if by the Spirit ye are led, ye are not under law. 
48N 005:019 And manifest also are the works of the flesh, which are:  Adultery, whoredom, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 
48N 005:020 idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, strifes, emulations, wraths,  rivalries, dissensions, sects, 
48N 005:021 envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revellings, and such  like, of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that  those doing such things the reign of God shall not inherit. 
48N 005:022 And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace,  long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 
48N 005:023 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law; 
48N 005:024 and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the  affections, and the desires; 
48N 005:025 if we may live in the Spirit, in the Spirit also we may  walk; 
48N 005:026 let us not become vain-glorious -- one another provoking,  one another envying! 
48N 006:001 Brethren, if a man also may be overtaken in any trespass, ye  who [are] spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of meekness,  considering thyself -- lest thou also may be tempted; 
48N 006:002 of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law  of the Christ, 
48N 006:003 for if any one doth think [himself] to be something -- being  nothing -- himself he doth deceive; 
48N 006:004 and his own work let each one prove, and then in regard to  himself alone the glorying he shall have, and not in regard to  the other, 
48N 006:005 for each one his own burden shall bear. 
48N 006:006 And let him who is instructed in the word share with him who  is instructing -- in all good things. 
48N 006:007 Be not led astray; God is not mocked; for what a man may sow  -- that also he shall reap, 
48N 006:008 because he who is sowing to his own flesh, of the flesh  shall reap corruption; and he who is sowing to the Spirit, of  the Spirit shall reap life age-during; 
48N 006:009 and in the doing good we may not be faint-hearted, for at  the proper time we shall reap -- not desponding; 
48N 006:010 therefore, then, as we have opportunity, may we work the  good to all, and especially unto those of the household of the  faith. 
48N 006:011 Ye see in how large letters I have written to you with my  own hand; 
48N 006:012 as many as are willing to make a good appearance in the  flesh, these constrain you to be circumcised -- only that for  the cross of the Christ they may not be persecuted, 
48N 006:013 for neither do those circumcised themselves keep the law,  but they wish you to be circumcised, that in your flesh they  may glory. 
48N 006:014 And for me, let it not be -- to glory, except in the cross  of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which to me the world hath  been crucified, and I to the world; 
48N 006:015 for in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything,  nor uncircumcision, but a new creation; 
48N 006:016 and as many as by this rule do walk -- peace upon them, and  kindness, and on the Israel of God! 
48N 006:017 Henceforth, let no one give me trouble, for I the scars of  the Lord Jesus in my body do bear. 
48N 006:018 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit,  brethren! Amen. 
49N 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, to  the saints who are in Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ  Jesus: 
49N 001:002 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
49N 001:003 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  who did bless us in every spiritual blessing in the heavenly  places in Christ, 
49N 001:004 according as He did choose us in him before the foundation  of the world, for our being holy and unblemished before Him,  in love, 
49N 001:005 having foreordained us to the adoption of sons through  Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His  will, 
49N 001:006 to the praise of the glory of His grace, in which He did  make us accepted in the beloved, 
49N 001:007 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the  remission of the trespasses, according to the riches of His  grace, 
49N 001:008 in which He did abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 
49N 001:009 having made known to us the secret of His will, according to  His good pleasure, that He purposed in Himself, 
49N 001:010 in regard to the dispensation of the fulness of the times,  to bring into one the whole in the Christ, both the things in  the heavens, and the things upon the earth -- in him; 
49N 001:011 in whom also we did obtain an inheritance, being  foreordained according to the purpose of Him who the all  things is working according to the counsel of His will, 
49N 001:012 for our being to the praise of His glory, [even] those who  did first hope in the Christ, 
49N 001:013 in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the  good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye  were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, 
49N 001:014 which is an earnest of our inheritance, to the redemption  of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory. 
49N 001:015 Because of this I also, having heard of your faith in the  Lord Jesus, and the love to all the saints, 
49N 001:016 do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention of you  in my prayers, 
49N 001:017 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of the  glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the  recognition of him, 
49N 001:018 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your  knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches  of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 
49N 001:019 and what the exceeding greatness of His power to us who are  believing, according to the working of the power of His might, 
49N 001:020 which He wrought in the Christ, having raised him out of  the dead, and did set [him] at His right hand in the heavenly  [places], 
49N 001:021 far above all principality, and authority, and might, and  lordship, and every name named, not only in this age, but also  in the coming one; 
49N 001:022 and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him  -- head over all things to the assembly, 
49N 001:023 which is his body, the fulness of Him who is filling the  all in all, 
49N 002:001 Also you -- being dead in the trespasses and the sins, 
49N 002:002 in which once ye did walk according to the age of this  world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, of  the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience, 
49N 002:003 among whom also we all did walk once in the desires of our  flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and  were by nature children of wrath -- as also the others, 
49N 002:004 and God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love  with which He loved us, 
49N 002:005 even being dead in the trespasses, did make us to live  together with the Christ, (by grace ye are having been saved,) 
49N 002:006 and did raise [us] up together, and did seat [us] together  in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus, 
49N 002:007 that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the  exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ  Jesus, 
49N 002:008 for by grace ye are having been saved, through faith, and  this not of you -- of God the gift, 
49N 002:009 not of works, that no one may boast; 
49N 002:010 for of Him we are workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to  good works, which God did before prepare, that in them we may  walk. 
49N 002:011 Wherefore, remember, that ye [were] once the nations in the  flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called  Circumcision in the flesh made by hands, 
49N 002:012 that ye were at that time apart from Christ, having been  alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to  the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God,  in the world; 
49N 002:013 and now, in Christ Jesus, ye being once afar off became  nigh in the blood of the Christ, 
49N 002:014 for he is our peace, who did make both one, and the middle  wall of the enclosure did break down, 
49N 002:015 the enmity in his flesh, the law of the commands in  ordinances having done away, that the two he might create in  himself into one new man, making peace, 
49N 002:016 and might reconcile both in one body to God through the  cross, having slain the enmity in it, 
49N 002:017 and having come, he did proclaim good news -- peace to you  -- the far-off and the nigh, 
49N 002:018 because through him we have the access -- we both -- in one  Spirit unto the Father. 
49N 002:019 Then, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners,  but fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of  God, 
49N 002:020 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and  prophets, Jesus Christ himself being chief corner-[stone], 
49N 002:021 in whom all the building fitly framed together doth  increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord, 
49N 002:022 in whom also ye are builded together, for a habitation of  God in the Spirit. 
49N 003:001 For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you  the nations, 
49N 003:002 if, indeed, ye did hear of the dispensation of the grace of  God that was given to me in regard to you, 
49N 003:003 that by revelation He made known to me the secret, according  as I wrote before in few [words] -- 
49N 003:004 in regard to which ye are able, reading [it], to understand  my knowledge in the secret of the Christ, 
49N 003:005 which in other generations was not made known to the sons of  men, as it was now revealed to His holy apostles and prophets  in the Spirit -- 
49N 003:006 that the nations be fellow-heirs, and of the same body, and  partakers of His promise in the Christ, through the good news, 
49N 003:007 of which I became a ministrant, according to the gift of the  grace of God that was given to me, according to the working of  His power; 
49N 003:008 to me -- the less than the least of all the saints -- was  given this grace, among the nations to proclaim good news --  the untraceable riches of the Christ, 
49N 003:009 and to cause all to see what [is] the fellowship of the  secret that hath been hid from the ages in God, who the all  things did create by Jesus Christ, 
49N 003:010 that there might be made known now to the principalities  and the authorities in the heavenly [places], through the  assembly, the manifold wisdom of God, 
49N 003:011 according to a purpose of the ages, which He made in Christ  Jesus our Lord, 
49N 003:012 in whom we have the freedom and the access in confidence  through the faith of him, 
49N 003:013 wherefore, I ask [you] not to faint in my tribulations for  you, which is your glory. 
49N 003:014 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord  Jesus Christ, 
49N 003:015 of whom the whole family in the heavens and on earth is  named, 
49N 003:016 that He may give to you, according to the riches of His  glory, with might to be strengthened through His Spirit, in  regard to the inner man, 
49N 003:017 that the Christ may dwell through the faith in your hearts,  in love having been rooted and founded, 
49N 003:018 that ye may be in strength to comprehend, with all the  saints, what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and  height, 
49N 003:019 to know also the love of the Christ that is exceeding the  knowledge, that ye may be filled -- to all the fulness of God; 
49N 003:020 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding  abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is  working in us, 
49N 003:021 to Him [is] the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to  all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen. 
49N 004:001 Call upon you, then, do I -- the prisoner of the Lord -- to  walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called, 
49N 004:002 with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering,  forbearing one another in love, 
49N 004:003 being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond  of the peace; 
49N 004:004 one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in  one hope of your calling; 
49N 004:005 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 
49N 004:006 one God and Father of all, who [is] over all, and through  all, and in you all, 
49N 004:007 and to each one of you was given the grace, according to the  measure of the gift of Christ, 
49N 004:008 wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive  captivity, and gave gifts to men,' -- 
49N 004:009 and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went  down first to the lower parts of the earth? 
49N 004:010 he who went down is the same also who went up far above all  the heavens, that He may fill all things -- 
49N 004:011 and He gave some [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and  some [as] proclaimers of good news, and some [as] shepherds and  teachers, 
49N 004:012 unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of  ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ, 
49N 004:013 till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the  recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure  of stature of the fulness of the Christ, 
49N 004:014 that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by  every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in  craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray, 
49N 004:015 and, being true in love, we may increase to Him [in] all  things, who is the head -- the Christ; 
49N 004:016 from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and  united, through the supply of every joint, according to the  working in the measure of each single part, the increase of  the body doth make for the building up of itself in love. 
49N 004:017 This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no  more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of  their mind, 
49N 004:018 being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from  the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them,  because of the hardness of their heart, 
49N 004:019 who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the  lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in  greediness; 
49N 004:020 and ye did not so learn the Christ, 
49N 004:021 if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth  is in Jesus; 
49N 004:022 ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old  man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit, 
49N 004:023 and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 
49N 004:024 and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was  created in righteousness and kindness of the truth. 
49N 004:025 Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with  his neighbour, because we are members one of another; 
49N 004:026 be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your  wrath, 
49N 004:027 neither give place to the devil; 
49N 004:028 whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him  labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he  may have to impart to him having need. 
49N 004:029 Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is  good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to  the hearers; 
49N 004:030 and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye  were sealed to a day of redemption. 
49N 004:031 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and  evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice, 
49N 004:032 and become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving  one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you. 
49N 005:001 Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved, 
49N 005:002 and walk in love, as also the Christ did love us, and did  give himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an  odour of a sweet smell, 
49N 005:003 and whoredom, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it  not even be named among you, as becometh saints; 
49N 005:004 also filthiness, and foolish talking, or jesting, -- the  things not fit -- but rather thanksgiving; 
49N 005:005 for this ye know, that every whoremonger, or unclean, or  covetous person, who is an idolater, hath no inheritance in  the reign of the Christ and God. 
49N 005:006 Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these  things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the  disobedience, 
49N 005:007 become not, then, partakers with them, 
49N 005:008 for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as  children of light walk ye, 
49N 005:009 for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and  righteousness, and truth, 
49N 005:010 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord, 
49N 005:011 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the  darkness and rather even convict, 
49N 005:012 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to  speak of, 
49N 005:013 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested,  for everything that is manifested is light; 
49N 005:014 wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping,  and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon  thee.' 
49N 005:015 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, 
49N 005:016 redeeming the time, because the days are evil; 
49N 005:017 because of this become not fools, but -- understanding what  [is] the will of the Lord, 
49N 005:018 and be not drunk with wine, in which is dissoluteness, but  be filled in the Spirit, 
49N 005:019 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual  songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 
49N 005:020 giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our  Lord Jesus Christ, to the God and Father; 
49N 005:021 subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. 
49N 005:022 The wives! to your own husbands subject yourselves, as to  the Lord, 
49N 005:023 because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ  [is] head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body, 
49N 005:024 but even as the assembly is subject to Christ, so also  [are] the wives to their own husbands in everything. 
49N 005:025 The husbands! love your own wives, as also the Christ did  love the assembly, and did give himself for it, 
49N 005:026 that he might sanctify it, having cleansed [it] with the  bathing of the water in the saying, 
49N 005:027 that he might present it to himself the assembly in glory,  not having spot or wrinkle, or any of such things, but that it  may be holy and unblemished; 
49N 005:028 so ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own  bodies: he who is loving his own wife -- himself he doth love; 
49N 005:029 for no one ever his own flesh did hate, but doth nourish  and cherish it, as also the Lord -- the assembly, 
49N 005:030 because members we are of his body, of his flesh, and of  his bones; 
49N 005:031 `for this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,  and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be -- the two  -- for one flesh;' 
49N 005:032 this secret is great, and I speak in regard to Christ and  to the assembly; 
49N 005:033 but ye also, every one in particular -- let each his own  wife so love as himself, and the wife -- that she may reverence  the husband. 
49N 006:001 The children! obey your parents in the Lord, for this is  righteous; 
49N 006:002 honour thy father and mother, 
49N 006:003 which is the first command with a promise, `That it may be  well with thee, and thou mayest live a long time upon the  land.' 
49N 006:004 And the fathers! provoke not your children, but nourish them  in the instruction and admonition of the Lord. 
49N 006:005 The servants! obey the masters according to the flesh with  fear and trembling, in the simplicity of your heart, as to the  Christ; 
49N 006:006 not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as servants of the  Christ, doing the will of God out of soul, 
49N 006:007 with good-will serving, as to the Lord, and not to men, 
49N 006:008 having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this  he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman. 
49N 006:009 And the masters! the same things do ye unto them, letting  threatening alone, having known that also your Master is in  the heavens, and acceptance of persons is not with him. 
49N 006:010 As to the rest, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in  the power of his might; 
49N 006:011 put on the whole armour of God, for your being able to  stand against the wiles of the devil, 
49N 006:012 because we have not the wrestling with blood and flesh, but  with the principalities, with the authorities, with the  world-rulers of the darkness of this age, with the spiritual  things of the evil in the heavenly places; 
49N 006:013 because of this take ye up the whole armour of God, that ye  may be able to resist in the day of the evil, and all things  having done -- to stand. 
49N 006:014 Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about in truth,  and having put on the breastplate of the righteousness, 
49N 006:015 and having the feet shod in the preparation of the  good-news of the peace; 
49N 006:016 above all, having taken up the shield of the faith, in  which ye shall be able all the fiery darts of the evil one to  quench, 
49N 006:017 and the helmet of the salvation receive, and the sword of  the Spirit, which is the saying of God, 
49N 006:018 through all prayer and supplication praying at all times in  the Spirit, and in regard to this same, watching in all  perseverance and supplication for all the saints -- 
49N 006:019 and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the  opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of  the good news, 
49N 006:020 for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may  speak freely -- as it behoveth me to speak. 
49N 006:021 And that ye may know -- ye also -- the things concerning me  -- what I do, all things make known to you shall Tychicus, the  beloved brother and faithful ministrant in the Lord, 
49N 006:022 whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that ye might  know the things concerning us, and that he might comfort your  hearts. 
49N 006:023 Peace to the brethren, and love, with faith, from God the  Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ! 
49N 006:024 The grace with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ --  undecayingly! Amen. 
50N 001:001 Paul and Timotheus, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the  saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with overseers and  ministrants; 
50N 001:002 Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ. 
50N 001:003 I give thanks to my God upon all the remembrance of you, 
50N 001:004 always, in every supplication of mine for you all, with joy  making the supplication, 
50N 001:005 for your contribution to the good news from the first day  till now, 
50N 001:006 having been confident of this very thing, that He who did  begin in you a good work, will perform [it] till a day of  Jesus Christ, 
50N 001:007 according as it is righteous for me to think this in behalf  of you all, because of my having you in the heart, both in my  bonds, and [in] the defence and confirmation of the good news,  all of you being fellow-partakers with me of grace. 
50N 001:008 For God is my witness, how I long for you all in the bowels  of Jesus Christ, 
50N 001:009 and this I pray, that your love yet more and more may abound  in full knowledge, and all judgment, 
50N 001:010 for your proving the things that differ, that ye may be  pure and offenceless -- to a day of Christ, 
50N 001:011 being filled with the fruit of righteousness, that [is]  through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. 
50N 001:012 And I wish you to know, brethren, that the things  concerning me, rather to an advancement of the good news have  come, 
50N 001:013 so that my bonds have become manifest in Christ in the  whole praetorium, and to the other places -- all, 
50N 001:014 and the greater part of the brethren in the Lord, having  confidence by my bonds, are more abundantly bold -- fearlessly  to speak the word. 
50N 001:015 Certain, indeed, even through envy and contention, and  certain also through good-will, do preach the Christ; 
50N 001:016 the one, indeed, of rivalry the Christ do proclaim, not  purely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds, 
50N 001:017 and the other out of love, having known that for defence of  the good news I am set: 
50N 001:018 what then? in every way, whether in pretence or in truth,  Christ is proclaimed -- and in this I rejoice, yea, and shall  rejoice. 
50N 001:019 For I have known that this shall fall out to me for  salvation, through your supplication, and the supply of the  Spirit of Christ Jesus, 
50N 001:020 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that in  nothing I shall be ashamed, and in all freedom, as always, also  now Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether through life  or through death, 
50N 001:021 for to me to live [is] Christ, and to die gain. 
50N 001:022 And if to live in the flesh [is] to me a fruit of work,  then what shall I choose? I know not; 
50N 001:023 for I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart,  and to be with Christ, for it is far better, 
50N 001:024 and to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your  account, 
50N 001:025 and of this being persuaded, I have known that I shall  remain and continue with you all, to your advancement and joy  of the faith, 
50N 001:026 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through  my presence again to you. 
50N 001:027 Only worthily of the good news of the Christ conduct ye  yourselves, that, whether having come and seen you, whether  being absent I may hear of the things concerning you, that ye  stand fast in one spirit, with one soul, striving together for  the faith of the good news, 
50N 001:028 and not terrified in anything by those opposing, which to  them indeed is a token of destruction, and to you of  salvation, and that from God; 
50N 001:029 because to you it was granted, on behalf of Christ, not  only to believe in him, but also on behalf of him to suffer; 
50N 001:030 the same conflict having, such as ye saw in me, and now  hear of in me. 
50N 002:001 If, then, any exhortation [is] in Christ, if any comfort of  love, if any fellowship of spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 
50N 002:002 fulfil ye my joy, that ye may mind the same thing -- having  the same love -- of one soul -- minding the one thing, 
50N 002:003 nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind  one another counting more excellent than yourselves -- 
50N 002:004 each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of  others. 
50N 002:005 For, let this mind be in you that [is] also in Christ Jesus, 
50N 002:006 who, being in the form of God, thought [it] not robbery to  be equal to God, 
50N 002:007 but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken,  in the likeness of men having been made, 
50N 002:008 and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled  himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a  cross, 
50N 002:009 wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a  name that [is] above every name, 
50N 002:010 that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow -- of  heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth -- 
50N 002:011 and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord,  to the glory of God the Father. 
50N 002:012 So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my  presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and  trembling your own salvation work out, 
50N 002:013 for God it is who is working in you both to will and to  work for His good pleasure. 
50N 002:014 All things do without murmurings and reasonings, 
50N 002:015 that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God,  unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse,  among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, 
50N 002:016 the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in  regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in  vain did I labour; 
50N 002:017 but if also I am poured forth upon the sacrifice and  service of your faith, I rejoice and joy with you all, 
50N 002:018 because of this do ye also rejoice and joy with me. 
50N 002:019 And I hope, in the Lord Jesus, Timotheus to send quickly to  you, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the  things concerning you, 
50N 002:020 for I have no one like-minded, who sincerely for the things  concerning you will care, 
50N 002:021 for the whole seek their own things, not the things of the  Christ Jesus, 
50N 002:022 and the proof of him ye know, that as a child [serveth] a  father, with me he did serve in regard to the good news; 
50N 002:023 him, indeed, therefore, I hope to send, when I may see  through the things concerning me -- immediately; 
50N 002:024 and I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall quickly  come. 
50N 002:025 And I thought [it] necessary Epaphroditus -- my brother,  and fellow-workman, and fellow-soldier, and your apostle and  servant to my need -- to send unto you, 
50N 002:026 seeing he was longing after you all, and in heaviness,  because ye heard that he ailed, 
50N 002:027 for he also ailed nigh to death, but God did deal kindly  with him, and not with him only, but also with me, that sorrow  upon sorrow I might not have. 
50N 002:028 The more eagerly, therefore, I did send him, that having  seen him again ye may rejoice, and I may be the less  sorrowful; 
50N 002:029 receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with all joy, and hold  such in honour, 
50N 002:030 because on account of the work of the Christ he drew near  to death, having hazarded the life that he might fill up your  deficiency of service unto me. 
50N 003:001 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord; the same  things to write to you to me indeed is not tiresome, and for  you [is] sure; 
50N 003:002 look to the dogs, look to the evil-workers, look to the  concision; 
50N 003:003 for we are the circumcision, who by the Spirit are serving  God, and glorying in Christ Jesus, and in flesh having no  trust, 
50N 003:004 though I also have [cause of] trust in flesh. If any other  one doth think to have trust in flesh, I more; 
50N 003:005 circumcision on the eighth day! of the race of Israel! of  the tribe of Benjamin! a Hebrew of Hebrews! according to law a  Pharisee! 
50N 003:006 according to zeal persecuting the assembly! according to  righteousness that is in law becoming blameless! 
50N 003:007 But what things were to me gains, these I have counted,  because of the Christ, loss; 
50N 003:008 yes, indeed, and I count all things to be loss, because of  the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,  because of whom of the all things I suffered loss, and do count  them to be refuse, that Christ I may gain, and be found in  him, 
50N 003:009 not having my righteousness, which [is] of law, but that  which [is] through faith of Christ -- the righteousness that  is of God by the faith, 
50N 003:010 to know him, and the power of his rising again, and the  fellowship of his sufferings, being conformed to his death, 
50N 003:011 if anyhow I may attain to the rising again of the dead. 
50N 003:012 Not that I did already obtain, or have been already  perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for  which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus; 
50N 003:013 brethren, I do not reckon myself to have laid hold; and one  thing -- the things behind indeed forgetting, and to the  things before stretching forth -- 
50N 003:014 to the mark I pursue for the prize of the high calling of  God in Christ Jesus. 
50N 003:015 As many, therefore, as [are] perfect -- let us think this,  and if [in] anything ye think otherwise, this also shall God  reveal to you, 
50N 003:016 but to what we have come -- by the same rule walk, the same  thing think; 
50N 003:017 become followers together of me, brethren, and observe  those thus walking, according as ye have us -- a pattern; 
50N 003:018 for many walk of whom many times I told you -- and now also  weeping tell -- the enemies of the cross of the Christ! 
50N 003:019 whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly, and  whose glory [is] in their shame, who the things on earth are  minding. 
50N 003:020 For our citizenship is in the heavens, whence also a  Saviour we await -- the Lord Jesus Christ -- 
50N 003:021 who shall transform the body of our humiliation to its  becoming conformed to the body of his glory, according to the  working of his power, even to subject to himself the all  things. 
50N 004:001 So then, my brethren, beloved and longed for, my joy and  crown, so stand ye in the Lord, beloved. 
50N 004:002 Euodia I exhort, and Syntyche I exhort, to be of the same  mind in the Lord; 
50N 004:003 and I ask also thee, genuine yoke-fellow, be assisting those  women who in the good news did strive along with me, with  Clement also, and the others, my fellow-workers, whose names  [are] in the book of life. 
50N 004:004 Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice; 
50N 004:005 let your forbearance be known to all men; the Lord [is]  near; 
50N 004:006 for nothing be anxious, but in everything by prayer, and by  supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made  known unto God; 
50N 004:007 and the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding,  shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 
50N 004:008 As to the rest, brethren, as many things as are true, as  many as [are] grave, as many as [are] righteous, as many as  [are] pure, as many as [are] lovely, as many as [are] of good  report, if any worthiness, and if any praise, these things  think upon; 
50N 004:009 the things that also ye did learn, and receive, and hear,  and saw in me, those do, and the God of the peace shall be  with you. 
50N 004:010 And I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye  flourished again in caring for me, for which also ye were  caring, and lacked opportunity; 
50N 004:011 not that in respect of want I say [it], for I did learn in  the things in which I am -- to be content; 
50N 004:012 I have known both to be abased, and I have known to abound;  in everything and in all things I have been initiated, both to  be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. 
50N 004:013 For all things I have strength, in Christ's strengthening  me; 
50N 004:014 but ye did well, having communicated with my tribulation; 
50N 004:015 and ye have known, even ye Philippians, that in the  beginning of the good news when I went forth from Macedonia,  no assembly did communicate with me in regard to giving and  receiving except ye only; 
50N 004:016 because also in Thessalonica, both once and again to my  need ye sent; 
50N 004:017 not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit  that is overflowing to your account; 
50N 004:018 and I have all things, and abound; I am filled, having  received from Epaphroditus the things from you -- an odour of  a sweet smell -- a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God: 
50N 004:019 and my God shall supply all your need, according to His  riches in glory in Christ Jesus; 
50N 004:020 and to God, even our Father, [is] the glory -- to the ages  of the ages. Amen. 
50N 004:021 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus; there salute you the  brethren with me; 
50N 004:022 there salute you all the saints, and specially those of  Caesar's house; 
50N 004:023 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.  
51N 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God,  and Timotheus the brother, 
51N 001:002 to the saints in Colossae, and to the faithful brethren in  Christ: Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and the  Lord Jesus Christ! 
51N 001:003 We give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus  Christ, always praying for you, 
51N 001:004 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love  that [is] to all the saints, 
51N 001:005 because of the hope that is laid up for you in the heavens,  which ye heard of before in the word of the truth of the good  news, 
51N 001:006 which is present to you, as also in all the world, and is  bearing fruit, as also in you, from the day in which ye heard,  and knew the grace of God in truth; 
51N 001:007 as ye also learned from Epaphras, our beloved  fellow-servant, who is for you a faithful ministrant of the  Christ, 
51N 001:008 who also did declare to us your love in the Spirit. 
51N 001:009 Because of this, we also, from the day in which we heard, do  not cease praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled  with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and  spiritual understanding, 
51N 001:010 to your walking worthily of the Lord to all pleasing, in  every good work being fruitful, and increasing to the  knowledge of God, 
51N 001:011 in all might being made mighty according to the power of  His glory, to all endurance and long-suffering with joy. 
51N 001:012 Giving thanks to the Father who did make us meet for the  participation of the inheritance of the saints in the light, 
51N 001:013 who did rescue us out of the authority of the darkness, and  did translate [us] into the reign of the Son of His love, 
51N 001:014 in whom we have the redemption through his blood, the  forgiveness of the sins, 
51N 001:015 who is the image of the invisible God, first-born of all  creation, 
51N 001:016 because in him were the all things created, those in the  heavens, and those upon the earth, those visible, and those  invisible, whether thrones, whether lordships, whether  principalities, whether authorities; all things through him,  and for him, have been created, 
51N 001:017 and himself is before all, and the all things in him have  consisted. 
51N 001:018 And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who  is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might  become in all [things] -- himself -- first, 
51N 001:019 because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle, 
51N 001:020 and through him to reconcile the all things to himself --  having made peace through the blood of his cross -- through  him, whether the things upon the earth, whether the things in  the heavens. 
51N 001:021 And you -- once being alienated, and enemies in the mind,  in the evil works, yet now did he reconcile, 
51N 001:022 in the body of his flesh through the death, to present you  holy, and unblemished, and unblameable before himself, 
51N 001:023 if also ye remain in the faith, being founded and settled,  and not moved away from the hope of the good news, which ye  heard, which was preached in all the creation that [is] under  the heaven, of which I became -- I Paul -- a ministrant. 
51N 001:024 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and do fill up the  things lacking of the tribulations of the Christ in my flesh  for his body, which is the assembly, 
51N 001:025 of which I -- I did become a ministrant according to the  dispensation of God, that was given to me for you, to fulfil  the word of God, 
51N 001:026 the secret that hath been hid from the ages and from the  generations, but now was manifested to his saints, 
51N 001:027 to whom God did will to make known what [is] the riches of  the glory of this secret among the nations -- which is Christ  in you, the hope of the glory, 
51N 001:028 whom we proclaim, warning every man, and teaching every  man, in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in  Christ Jesus, 
51N 001:029 for which also I labour, striving according to his working  that is working in me in power. 
51N 002:001 For I wish you to know how great a conflict I have for you  and those in Laodicea, and as many as have not seen my face in  the flesh, 
51N 002:002 that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love,  and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding,  to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and  of the Christ, 
51N 002:003 in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the  knowledge hid, 
51N 002:004 and this I say, that no one may beguile you in enticing  words, 
51N 002:005 for if even in the flesh I am absent -- yet in the spirit I  am with you, joying and beholding your order, and the  stedfastness of your faith in regard to Christ; 
51N 002:006 as, then, ye did receive Christ Jesus the Lord, in him walk  ye, 
51N 002:007 being rooted and built up in him, and confirmed in the  faith, as ye were taught -- abounding in it in thanksgiving. 
51N 002:008 See that no one shall be carrying you away as spoil through  the philosophy and vain deceit, according to the deliverance  of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not  according to Christ, 
51N 002:009 because in him doth tabernacle all the fulness of the  Godhead bodily, 
51N 002:010 and ye are in him made full, who is the head of all  principality and authority, 
51N 002:011 in whom also ye were circumcised with a circumcision not  made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the sins of  the flesh in the circumcision of the Christ, 
51N 002:012 being buried with him in the baptism, in which also ye rose  with [him] through the faith of the working of God, who did  raise him out of the dead. 
51N 002:013 And you -- being dead in the trespasses and the  uncircumcision of your flesh -- He made alive together with  him, having forgiven you all the trespasses, 
51N 002:014 having blotted out the handwriting in the ordinances that  is against us, that was contrary to us, and he hath taken it  out of the way, having nailed it to the cross; 
51N 002:015 having stripped the principalities and the authorities, he  made a shew of them openly -- having triumphed over them in it. 
51N 002:016 Let no one, then, judge you in eating or in drinking, or in  respect of a feast, or of a new moon, or of sabbaths, 
51N 002:017 which are a shadow of the coming things, and the body [is]  of the Christ; 
51N 002:018 let no one beguile you of your prize, delighting in  humble-mindedness and [in] worship of the messengers, intruding  into the things he hath not seen, being vainly puffed up by the  mind of his flesh, 
51N 002:019 and not holding the head, from which all the body --  through the joints and bands gathering supply, and being knit  together -- may increase with the increase of God. 
51N 002:020 If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of  the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to  ordinances? 
51N 002:021 -- thou mayest not touch, nor taste, nor handle -- 
51N 002:022 which are all for destruction with the using, after the  commands and teachings of men, 
51N 002:023 which are, indeed, having a matter of wisdom in  will-worship, and humble-mindedness, and neglecting of body --  not in any honour, unto a satisfying of the flesh. 
51N 003:001 If, then, ye were raised with the Christ, the things above  seek ye, where the Christ is, on the right hand of God seated, 
51N 003:002 the things above mind ye, not the things upon the earth, 
51N 003:003 for ye did die, and your life hath been hid with the Christ  in God; 
51N 003:004 when the Christ -- our life -- may be manifested, then also  we with him shall be manifested in glory. 
51N 003:005 Put to death, then, your members that [are] upon the earth  -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the  covetousness, which is idolatry -- 
51N 003:006 because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the  sons of the disobedience, 
51N 003:007 in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them; 
51N 003:008 but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice,  evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth. 
51N 003:009 Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his  practices, 
51N 003:010 and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to  knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him; 
51N 003:011 where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and  uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but  the all and in all -- Christ. 
51N 003:012 Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved,  bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness,  long-suffering, 
51N 003:013 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any  one with any one may have a quarrel, as also the Christ did  forgive you -- so also ye; 
51N 003:014 and above all these things, [have] love, which is a bond of  the perfection, 
51N 003:015 and let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also  ye were called in one body, and become thankful. 
51N 003:016 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom,  teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and  spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord; 
51N 003:017 and all, whatever ye may do in word or in work, [do] all  things in the name of the Lord Jesus -- giving thanks to the  God and Father, through him. 
51N 003:018 The wives! be subject to your own husbands, as is fit in  the Lord; 
51N 003:019 the husbands! love your wives, and be not bitter with them; 
51N 003:020 the children! obey the parents in all things, for this is  well-pleasing to the Lord; 
51N 003:021 the fathers! vex not your children, lest they be  discouraged. 
51N 003:022 The servants! obey in all things those who are masters  according to the flesh, not in eye-service as men-pleasers, but  in simplicity of heart, fearing God; 
51N 003:023 and all, whatever ye may do -- out of soul work -- as to  the Lord, and not to men, 
51N 003:024 having known that from the Lord ye shall receive the  recompense of the inheritance -- for the Lord Christ ye serve; 
51N 003:025 and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did  unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons. 
51N 004:001 The masters! that which is righteous and equal to the  servants give ye, having known that ye also have a Master in  the heavens. 
51N 004:002 In the prayer continue ye, watching in it in thanksgiving; 
51N 004:003 praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to  us a door for the word, to speak the secret of the Christ,  because of which also I have been bound, 
51N 004:004 that I may manifest it, as it behoveth me to speak; 
51N 004:005 in wisdom walk ye toward those without, the time  forestalling; 
51N 004:006 your word always in grace -- with salt being seasoned -- to  know how it behoveth you to answer each one. 
51N 004:007 All the things concerning me make known to you shall  Tychicus -- the beloved brother, and faithful ministrant, and  fellow-servant in the Lord -- 
51N 004:008 whom I did send unto you for this very thing, that he might  know the things concerning you, and might comfort your hearts, 
51N 004:009 with Onesimus the faithful and beloved brother, who is of  you; all things to you shall they make known that [are] here. 
51N 004:010 Salute you doth Aristarchus, my fellow-captive, and Marcus,  the nephew of Barnabas, (concerning whom ye did receive  commands -- if he may come unto you receive him,) 
51N 004:011 and Jesus who is called Justus, who are of the  circumcision: these only [are] fellow-workers for the reign of  God who did become a comfort to me. 
51N 004:012 Salute you doth Epaphras, who [is] of you, a servant of  Christ, always striving for you in the prayers, that ye may  stand perfect and made full in all the will of God, 
51N 004:013 for I do testify to him, that he hath much zeal for you,  and those in Laodicea, and those in Hierapolis. 
51N 004:014 Salute you doth Lukas, the beloved physician, and Demas; 
51N 004:015 salute ye those in Laodicea -- brethren, and Nymphas, and  the assembly in his house; 
51N 004:016 and when the epistle may be read with you, cause that also  in the assembly of the Laodiceans it may be read, and the  [epistle] from Laodicea that ye also may read; 
51N 004:017 and say to Archippus, `See to the ministration that thou  didst receive in the Lord, that thou mayest fulfil it.' 
51N 004:018 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul; remember my bonds;  the grace [is] with you. Amen.  
52N 001:001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of  Thessalonians in God  the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ:  Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
52N 001:002 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of  you in our  prayers, 
52N 001:003 unceasingly remembering of you the work of the faith, and  the labour of the love, and the endurance of the hope, of our  Lord Jesus Christ, in the  presence of our God and Father, 
52N 001:004 having known, brethren beloved, by God, your election, 
52N 001:005 because our good news did not come to you in word only, but  also in power,  and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance,  even as ye have known of what  sort we became among you because  of you, 
52N 001:006 and ye -- ye did become imitators of us, and of the Lord,  having received  the word in much tribulation, with joy of the  Holy Spirit, 
52N 001:007 so that ye became patterns to all those believing in  Macedonia and Achaia, 
52N 001:008 for from you hath sounded forth the word of the Lord, not  only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your  faith toward God did go forth, so  that we have no need to say  anything, 
52N 001:009 for they themselves concerning us do declare what entrance  we had unto you,  and how ye did turn unto God from the idols,  to serve a living and true God, 
52N 001:010 and to wait for His Son from the heavens, whom He did raise  out of the  dead -- Jesus, who is rescuing us from the anger  that is coming. 
52N 002:001 For yourselves have known, brethren, our entrance in unto  you, that it did  not become vain, 
52N 002:002 but having both suffered before, and having been injuriously  treated (as ye  have known) in Philippi, we were bold in our  God to speak unto you the good  news of God in much conflict, 
52N 002:003 for our exhortation [is] not out of deceit, nor out of  uncleanness, nor in  guile, 
52N 002:004 but as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the  good news, so  we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, who is  proving our hearts, 
52N 002:005 for at no time did we come with speech of flattery, (as ye  have known,) nor  in a pretext for covetousness, (God [is]  witness!) 
52N 002:006 nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others,  being able to  be burdensome, as Christ's apostles. 
52N 002:007 But we became gentle in your midst, as a nurse may cherish  her own  children, 
52N 002:008 so being desirous of you, we are well-pleased to impart to  you not only the  good news of God, but also our own souls,  because beloved ye have become to  us, 
52N 002:009 for ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail, for,  night and day  working not to be a burden upon any of you, we  did preach to you the good  news of God; 
52N 002:010 ye [are] witnesses -- God also -- how kindly and  righteously, and  blamelessly to you who believe we became, 
52N 002:011 even as ye have known, how each one of you, as a father his  own children,  we are exhorting you, and comforting, and  testifying, 
52N 002:012 for your walking worthily of God, who is calling you to His  own reign and  glory. 
52N 002:013 Because of this also, we -- we do give thanks to God  continually, that,  having received the word of hearing from us  of God, ye accepted, not the word  of man, but as it is truly,  the word of God, who also doth work in you who  believe; 
52N 002:014 for ye became imitators, brethren, of the assemblies of God  that are in  Judea in Christ Jesus, because such things ye  suffered, even ye, from your  own countrymen, as also they from  the Jews, 
52N 002:015 who did both put to death the Lord Jesus and their own  prophets, and did  persecute us, and God they are not pleasing,  and to all men [are] contrary, 
52N 002:016 forbidding us to speak to the nations that they might be  saved, to fill up  their sins always, but the anger did come  upon them -- to the end! 
52N 002:017 And we, brethren, having been taken from you for the space  of an hour --  in presence, not in heart -- did hasten the more  abundantly to see your face  in much desire, 
52N 002:018 wherefore we wished to come unto you, (I indeed Paul,) both  once and  again, and the Adversary did hinder us; 
52N 002:019 for what [is] our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? are  not even ye  before our Lord Jesus Christ in his presence? 
52N 002:020 for ye are our glory and joy. 
52N 003:001 Wherefore no longer forbearing, we thought good to be left  in Athens alone, 
52N 003:002 and did send Timotheus -- our brother, and a ministrant of  God, and our  fellow-workman in the good news of the Christ --  to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith, 
52N 003:003 that no one be moved in these tribulations, for yourselves  have known that  for this we are set, 
52N 003:004 for even when we were with you, we said to you beforehand,  that we are  about to suffer tribulation, as also it did come  to pass, and ye have known  [it]; 
52N 003:005 because of this also, I, no longer forbearing, did send to  know your faith,  lest he who is tempting did tempt you, and in  vain might be our labour. 
52N 003:006 And now Timotheus having come unto us from you, and having  declared good  news to us of your faith and love, and that ye  have a good remembrance of us  always, desiring much to see us,  as we also [to see] you, 
52N 003:007 because of this we were comforted, brethren, over you, in  all our  tribulation and necessity, through your faith, 
52N 003:008 because now we live, if ye may stand fast in the Lord; 
52N 003:009 for what thanks are we able to recompense to God for you,  for all the joy with which we do joy because of you in the  presence of our God? 
52N 003:010 night and day exceedingly beseeching, that we might see  your face, and perfect the things lacking in your faith. 
52N 003:011 And our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ,  direct our way unto you, 
52N 003:012 and you the Lord cause to increase and to abound in the  love to one another, and to all, even as we also to you, 
52N 003:013 to the establishing your hearts blameless in sanctification  before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus  Christ with all His saints. 
52N 004:001 As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call  upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it  behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the  more, 
52N 004:002 for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord  Jesus, 
52N 004:003 for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye  abstain from the whoredom, 
52N 004:004 that each of you know his own vessel to possess in  sanctification and honour, 
52N 004:005 not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that  were not knowing God, 
52N 004:006 that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother,  because an avenger [is] the Lord of all these, as also we spake  before to you and testified, 
52N 004:007 for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in  sanctification; 
52N 004:008 he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but  God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us. 
52N 004:009 And concerning the brotherly love, ye have no need of [my]  writing to you, for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one  another, 
52N 004:010 for ye do it also to all the brethren who [are] in all  Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still  more, 
52N 004:011 and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and  to work with your own hands, as we did command you, 
52N 004:012 that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may  have lack of nothing. 
52N 004:013 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning  those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also  the rest who have not hope, 
52N 004:014 for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also  God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him, 
52N 004:015 for this to you we say in the word of the Lord, that we who  are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord  -- may not precede those asleep, 
52N 004:016 because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a  chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from  heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first, 
52N 004:017 then we who are living, who are remaining over, together  with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in  air, and so always with the Lord we shall be; 
52N 004:018 so, then, comfort ye one another in these words. 
52N 005:001 And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have  no need of my writing to you, 
52N 005:002 for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the  Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, 
52N 005:003 for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden  destruction doth stand by them, as the travail [doth] her who  is with child, and they shall not escape; 
52N 005:004 and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may  catch you as a thief; 
52N 005:005 all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of  night, nor of darkness, 
52N 005:006 so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and  be sober, 
52N 005:007 for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making  themselves drunk, by night are drunken, 
52N 005:008 and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a  breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of  salvation, 
52N 005:009 because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the  acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
52N 005:010 who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we  sleep -- together with him we may live; 
52N 005:011 wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the  one, as also ye do. 
52N 005:012 And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among  you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, 
52N 005:013 and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of  their work; be at peace among yourselves; 
52N 005:014 and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly,  comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto  all; 
52N 005:015 see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always  that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all; 
52N 005:016 always rejoice ye; 
52N 005:017 continually pray ye; 
52N 005:018 in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God  in Christ Jesus in regard to you. 
52N 005:019 The Spirit quench not; 
52N 005:020 prophesyings despise not; 
52N 005:021 all things prove; that which is good hold fast; 
52N 005:022 from all appearance of evil abstain ye; 
52N 005:023 and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and  may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved  unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
52N 005:024 stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it]. 
52N 005:025 Brethren, pray for us; 
52N 005:026 salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; 
52N 005:027 I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all  the holy brethren; 
52N 005:028 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen. 
53N 001:001 Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, to the assembly of  Thessalonians in God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ: 
53N 001:002 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
53N 001:003 We ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, as  it is meet, because increase greatly doth your faith, and  abound doth the love of each one of you all, to one another; 
53N 001:004 so that we ourselves do glory in you in the assemblies of  God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and  tribulations that ye bear; 
53N 001:005 a token of the righteous judgment of God, for your being  counted worthy of the reign of God, for which also ye suffer, 
53N 001:006 since [it is] a righteous thing with God to give back to  those troubling you -- trouble, 
53N 001:007 and to you who are troubled -- rest with us in the  revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven, with messengers of  his power, 
53N 001:008 in flaming fire, giving vengeance to those not knowing God,  and to those not obeying the good news of our Lord Jesus  Christ; 
53N 001:009 who shall suffer justice -- destruction age-during -- from  the face of the Lord, and from the glory of his strength, 
53N 001:010 when He may come to be glorified in his saints, and to be  wondered at in all those believing -- because our testimony  was believed among you -- in that day; 
53N 001:011 for which also we do pray always for you, that our God may  count you worthy of the calling, and may fulfil all the good  pleasure of goodness, and the work of the faith in power, 
53N 001:012 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in  you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and Lord  Jesus Christ. 
53N 002:001 And we ask you, brethren, in regard to the presence of our  Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together unto him, 
53N 002:002 that ye be not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled,  neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through  letters as through us, as that the day of Christ hath arrived; 
53N 002:003 let not any one deceive you in any manner, because -- if the  falling away may not come first, and the man of sin be  revealed -- the son of the destruction, 
53N 002:004 who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called  God or worshipped, so that he in the sanctuary of God as God  hath sat down, shewing himself off that he is God -- [the day  doth not come]. 
53N 002:005 Do ye not remember that, being yet with you, these things I  said to you? 
53N 002:006 and now, what is keeping down ye have known, for his being  revealed in his own time, 
53N 002:007 for the secret of the lawlessness doth already work, only he  who is keeping down now [will hinder] -- till he may be out of  the way, 
53N 002:008 and then shall be revealed the Lawless One, whom the Lord  shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy  with the manifestation of his presence, 
53N 002:009 [him,] whose presence is according to the working of the  Adversary, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders, 
53N 002:010 and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those  perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive  for their being saved, 
53N 002:011 and because of this shall God send to them a working of  delusion, for their believing the lie, 
53N 002:012 that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the  truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness. 
53N 002:013 And we -- we ought to give thanks to God always for you,  brethren, beloved by the Lord, that God did choose you from  the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit,  and belief of the truth, 
53N 002:014 to which He did call you through our good news, to the  acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ; 
53N 002:015 so, then, brethren, stand ye fast, and hold the  deliverances that ye were taught, whether through word,  whether through our letter; 
53N 002:016 and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and  Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and  good hope in grace, 
53N 002:017 comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word  and work. 
53N 003:001 As to the rest, pray ye, brethren, concerning us, that the  word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, as also with  you, 
53N 003:002 and that we may be delivered from the unreasonable and evil  men, for the faith [is] not of all; 
53N 003:003 and stedfast is the Lord, who shall establish you, and shall  guard [you] from the evil; 
53N 003:004 and we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that the  things that we command you ye both do and will do; 
53N 003:005 and the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God, and to  the endurance of the Christ. 
53N 003:006 And we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus  Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother disorderly  walking, and not after the deliverance that ye received from  us, 
53N 003:007 for yourselves have known how it behoveth [you] to imitate  us, because we did not act disorderly among you; 
53N 003:008 nor for nought did we eat bread of any one, but in labour  and in travail, night and day working, not to be chargeable to  any of you; 
53N 003:009 not because we have not authority, but that ourselves a  pattern we might give to you, to imitate us; 
53N 003:010 for even when we were with you, this we did command you,  that if any one is not willing to work, neither let him eat, 
53N 003:011 for we hear of certain walking among you disorderly,  nothing working, but over working, 
53N 003:012 and such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus  Christ, that with quietness working, their own bread they may  eat; 
53N 003:013 and ye, brethren, may ye not be weary doing well, 
53N 003:014 and if any one do not obey our word through the letter,  this one note ye, and have no company with him, that he may be  ashamed, 
53N 003:015 and as an enemy count [him] not, but admonish ye [him] as a  brother; 
53N 003:016 and may the Lord of the peace Himself give to you the peace  always in every way; the Lord [is] with you all! 
53N 003:017 The salutation by the hand of me, Paul, which is a sign in  every letter; thus I write; 
53N 003:018 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all! Amen. 
54N 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to a command of  God our Saviour, and of the Lord Jesus Christ our hope, 
54N 001:002 to Timotheus -- genuine child in faith: Grace, kindness,  peace, from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord, 
54N 001:003 according as I did exhort thee to remain in Ephesus -- I  going on to Macedonia -- that thou mightest charge certain not  to teach any other thing, 
54N 001:004 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that  cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in  faith: -- 
54N 001:005 And the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart, and  of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned, 
54N 001:006 from which certain, having swerved, did turn aside to vain  discourse, 
54N 001:007 willing to be teachers of law, not understanding either the  things they say, nor concerning what they asseverate, 
54N 001:008 and we have known that the law [is] good, if any one may use  it lawfully; 
54N 001:009 having known this, that for a righteous man law is not set,  but for lawless and insubordinate persons, ungodly and  sinners, impious and profane, parricides and matricides,  men-slayers, 
54N 001:010 whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured  persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound  doctrine is adverse, 
54N 001:011 according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God,  with which I was entrusted. 
54N 001:012 And I give thanks to him who enabled me -- Christ Jesus our  Lord -- that he did reckon me stedfast, having put [me] to the  ministration, 
54N 001:013 who before was speaking evil, and persecuting, and  insulting, but I found kindness, because, being ignorant, I did  [it] in unbelief, 
54N 001:014 and exceedingly abound did the grace of our Lord, with  faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus: 
54N 001:015 stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy, that  Christ Jesus came to the world to save sinners -- first of whom  I am; 
54N 001:016 but because of this I found kindness, that in me first  Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern  of those about to believe on him to life age-during: 
54N 001:017 and to the King of the ages, the incorruptible, invisible,  only wise God, [is] honour and glory -- to the ages of the  ages! Amen. 
54N 001:018 This charge I commit to thee, child Timotheus, according to  the prophesies that went before upon thee, that thou mayest war  in them the good warfare, 
54N 001:019 having faith and a good conscience, which certain having  thrust away, concerning the faith did make shipwreck, 
54N 001:020 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I did deliver to  the Adversary, that they might be instructed not to speak  evil. 
54N 002:001 I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications,  prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men: 
54N 002:002 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and  peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity, 
54N 002:003 for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour, 
54N 002:004 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full  knowledge of the truth; 
54N 002:005 for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men,  the man Christ Jesus, 
54N 002:006 who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in  its own times -- 
54N 002:007 in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle -- truth  I say in Christ, I do not lie -- a teacher of nations, in faith  and truth. 
54N 002:008 I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up  kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning; 
54N 002:009 in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with  modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair,  or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price, 
54N 002:010 but -- which becometh women professing godly piety --  through good works. 
54N 002:011 Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection, 
54N 002:012 and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a  husband, but to be in quietness, 
54N 002:013 for Adam was first formed, then Eve, 
54N 002:014 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been  deceived, into transgression came, 
54N 002:015 and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they  remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety. 
54N 003:001 Stedfast [is] the word: If any one the oversight doth long  for, a right work he desireth; 
54N 003:002 it behoveth, therefore, the overseer to be blameless, of one  wife a husband, vigilant, sober, decent, a friend of  strangers, apt to teach, 
54N 003:003 not given to wine, not a striker, not given to filthy lucre,  but gentle, not contentious, not a lover of money, 
54N 003:004 his own house leading well, having children in subjection  with all gravity, 
54N 003:005 (and if any one his own house [how] to lead hath not known,  how an assembly of God shall he take care of?) 
54N 003:006 not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to  a judgment of the devil; 
54N 003:007 and it behoveth him also to have a good testimony from those  without, that he may not fall into reproach and a snare of the  devil. 
54N 003:008 Ministrants -- in like manner grave, not double-tongued, not  given to much wine, not given to filthy lucre, 
54N 003:009 having the secret of the faith in a pure conscience, 
54N 003:010 and let these also first be proved, then let them minister,  being unblameable. 
54N 003:011 Women -- in like manner grave, not false accusers,  vigilant, faithful in all things. 
54N 003:012 Ministrants -- let them be of one wife husbands; the  children leading well, and their own houses, 
54N 003:013 for those who did minister well a good step to themselves  do acquire, and much boldness in faith that [is] in Christ  Jesus. 
54N 003:014 These things I write to thee, hoping to come unto thee  soon, 
54N 003:015 and if I delay, that thou mayest know how it behoveth  [thee] to conduct thyself in the house of God, which is an  assembly of the living God -- a pillar and foundation of the  truth, 
54N 003:016 and, confessedly, great is the secret of piety -- God was  manifested in flesh, declared righteous in spirit, seen by  messengers, preached among nations, believed on in the world,  taken up in glory! 
54N 004:001 And the Spirit expressly speaketh, that in latter times  shall certain fall away from the faith, giving heed to  seducing spirits and teachings of demons, 
54N 004:002 in hypocrisy speaking lies, being seared in their own  conscience, 
54N 004:003 forbidding to marry -- to abstain from meats that God  created to be received with thanksgiving by those believing  and acknowledging the truth, 
54N 004:004 because every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to  be rejected, with thanksgiving being received, 
54N 004:005 for it is sanctified through the word of God and  intercession. 
54N 004:006 These things placing before the brethren, thou shalt be a  good ministrant of Jesus Christ, being nourished by the words  of the faith, and of the good teaching, which thou didst  follow after, 
54N 004:007 and the profane and old women's fables reject thou, and  exercise thyself unto piety, 
54N 004:008 for the bodily exercise is unto little profit, and the piety  is to all things profitable, a promise having of the life that  now is, and of that which is coming; 
54N 004:009 stedfast [is] the word, and of all acceptation worthy; 
54N 004:010 for for this we both labour and are reproached, because we  hope on the living God, who is Saviour of all men --  especially of those believing. 
54N 004:011 Charge these things, and teach; 
54N 004:012 let no one despise thy youth, but a pattern become thou of  those believing in word, in behaviour, in love, in spirit, in  faith, in purity; 
54N 004:013 till I come, give heed to the reading, to the exhortation,  to the teaching; 
54N 004:014 be not careless of the gift in thee, that was given thee  through prophecy, with laying on of the hands of the eldership; 
54N 004:015 of these things be careful; in these things be, that thy  advancement may be manifest in all things; 
54N 004:016 take heed to thyself, and to the teaching; remain in them,  for this thing doing, both thyself thou shalt save, and those  hearing thee. 
54N 005:001 An aged person thou mayest not rebuke, but be entreating as  a father; younger persons as brethren; 
54N 005:002 aged women as mothers, younger ones as sisters -- in all  purity; 
54N 005:003 honour widows who are really widows; 
54N 005:004 and if any widow have children or grandchildren, let them  learn first to their own house to show piety, and to give back  a recompense to the parents, for this is right and acceptable  before God. 
54N 005:005 And she who is really a widow and desolate, hath hoped upon  God, and doth remain in the supplications and in the prayers  night and day, 
54N 005:006 and she who is given to luxury, living -- hath died; 
54N 005:007 and these things charge, that they may be blameless; 
54N 005:008 and if any one for his own -- and especially for those of  the household -- doth not provide, the faith he hath denied,  and than an unbeliever he is worse. 
54N 005:009 A widow -- let her not be enrolled under sixty years of age,  having been a wife of one husband, 
54N 005:010 in good works being testified to: if she brought up  children, if she entertained strangers, if saints' feet she  washed, if those in tribulation she relieved, if every good  work she followed after; 
54N 005:011 and younger widows be refusing, for when they may revel  against the Christ, they wish to marry, 
54N 005:012 having judgment, because the first faith they did cast  away, 
54N 005:013 and at the same time also, they learn [to be] idle, going  about the houses; and not only idle, but also tattlers and  busybodies, speaking the things they ought not; 
54N 005:014 I wish, therefore, younger ones to marry, to bear children,  to be mistress of the house, to give no occasion to the  opposer to reviling; 
54N 005:015 for already certain did turn aside after the Adversary. 
54N 005:016 If any believing man or believing woman have widows, let  them relieve them, and let not the assembly be burdened, that  those really widows it may relieve. 
54N 005:017 The well-leading elders of double honour let them be  counted worthy, especially those labouring in word and  teaching, 
54N 005:018 for the Writing saith, `An ox treading out thou shalt not  muzzle,' and `Worthy [is] the workman of his reward.' 
54N 005:019 Against an elder an accusation receive not, except upon two  or three witnesses. 
54N 005:020 Those sinning, reprove before all, that the others also may  have fear; 
54N 005:021 I testify fully, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and  the choice messengers, that these things thou mayest keep,  without forejudging, doing nothing by partiality. 
54N 005:022 Be laying hands quickly on no one, nor be having fellowship  with sins of others; be keeping thyself pure; 
54N 005:023 no longer be drinking water, but a little wine be using,  because of thy stomach and of thine often infirmities; 
54N 005:024 of certain men the sins are manifest beforehand, leading  before to judgment, and certain also they follow after; 
54N 005:025 in like manner also the right works are manifest  beforehand, and those that are otherwise are not able to be  hid. 
54N 006:001 As many as are servants under a yoke, their own masters  worthy of all honour let them reckon, that the name of God and  the teaching may not be evil spoken of; 
54N 006:002 and those having believing masters, let them not slight  [them], because they are brethren, but rather let them serve,  because they are stedfast and beloved, who of the benefit are  partaking. These things be teaching and exhorting; 
54N 006:003 if any one be teaching otherwise, and do not consent to  sound words -- those of our Lord Jesus Christ -- and to the  teaching according to piety, 
54N 006:004 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and  word-striving, out of which doth come envy, strife,  evil-speakings, evil-surmisings, 
54N 006:005 wranglings of men wholly corrupted in mind, and destitute of  the truth, supposing the piety to be gain; depart from such; 
54N 006:006 but it is great gain -- the piety with contentment; 
54N 006:007 for nothing did we bring into the world -- [it is] manifest  that we are able to carry nothing out; 
54N 006:008 but having food and raiment -- with these we shall suffice  ourselves; 
54N 006:009 and those wishing to be rich, do fall into temptation and a  snare, and many desires, foolish and hurtful, that sink men  into ruin and destruction, 
54N 006:010 for a root of all the evils is the love of money, which  certain longing for did go astray from the faith, and  themselves did pierce through with many sorrows; 
54N 006:011 and thou, O man of God, these things flee, and pursue  righteousness, piety, faith, love, endurance, meekness; 
54N 006:012 be striving the good strife of the faith, be laying hold on  the life age-during, to which also thou wast called, and didst  profess the right profession before many witnesses. 
54N 006:013 I charge thee, before God, who is making all things alive,  and of Christ Jesus, who did testify before Pontius Pilate the  right profession, 
54N 006:014 that thou keep the command unspotted, unblameable, till the  manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
54N 006:015 which in His own times He shall shew -- the blessed and  only potentate, the King of the kings and Lord of the lords, 
54N 006:016 who only is having immortality, dwelling in light  unapproachable, whom no one of men did see, nor is able to  see, to whom [is] honour and might age-during! Amen. 
54N 006:017 Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be  high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in  the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for  enjoyment; -- 
54N 006:018 to do good, to be rich in good works, to be ready to  impart, willing to communicate, 
54N 006:019 treasuring up to themselves a right foundation for the time  to come, that they may lay hold on the life age-during. 
54N 006:020 O Timotheus, the thing entrusted guard thou, avoiding the  profane vain-words and opposition of the falsely-named  knowledge, 
54N 006:021 which certain professing -- concerning the faith did  swerve; the grace [is] with you. Amen.  
55N 001:001 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, through the will of God,  according to a promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus, 
55N 001:002 to Timotheus, beloved child: Grace, kindness, peace, from  God the Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord! 
55N 001:003 I am thankful to God, whom I serve from progenitors in a  pure conscience, that unceasingly I have remembrance  concerning thee in my supplications night and day, 
55N 001:004 desiring greatly to see thee, being mindful of thy tears,  that with joy I may be filled, 
55N 001:005 taking remembrance of the unfeigned faith that is in thee,  that dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother  Eunice, and I am persuaded that also in thee. 
55N 001:006 For which cause I remind thee to stir up the gift of God  that is in thee through the putting on of my hands, 
55N 001:007 for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and  of love, and of a sound mind; 
55N 001:008 therefore thou mayest not be ashamed of the testimony of our  Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but do thou suffer evil along  with the good news according to the power of God, 
55N 001:009 who did save us, and did call with an holy calling, not  according to our works, but according to His own purpose and  grace, that was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the times  of the ages, 
55N 001:010 and was made manifest now through the manifestation of our  Saviour Jesus Christ, who indeed did abolish death, and did  enlighten life and immortality through the good news, 
55N 001:011 to which I was placed a preacher and an apostle, and a  teacher of nations, 
55N 001:012 for which cause also these things I suffer, but I am not  ashamed, for I have known in whom I have believed, and have  been persuaded that he is able that which I have committed to  him to guard -- to that day. 
55N 001:013 The pattern hold thou of sound words, which from me thou  didst hear, in faith and love that [is] in Christ Jesus; 
55N 001:014 the good thing committed guard thou through the Holy Spirit  that is dwelling in us; 
55N 001:015 thou hast known this, that they did turn from me -- all  those in Asia, of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes; 
55N 001:016 may the Lord give kindness to the house of Onesiphorus,  because many times he did refresh me, and of my chain was not  ashamed, 
55N 001:017 but being in Rome, very diligently he sought me, and found; 
55N 001:018 may the Lord give to him to find kindness from the Lord in  that day; and how many things in Ephesus he did minister thou  dost very well know. 
55N 002:001 Thou, therefore, my child, be strong in the grace that [is]  in Christ Jesus, 
55N 002:002 and the things that thou didst hear from me through many  witnesses, these things be committing to stedfast men, who  shall be sufficient also others to teach; 
55N 002:003 thou, therefore, suffer evil as a good soldier of Jesus  Christ; 
55N 002:004 no one serving as a soldier did entangle himself with the  affairs of life, that him who did enlist him he may please; 
55N 002:005 and if also any one may strive, he is not crowned, except he  may strive lawfully; 
55N 002:006 the labouring husbandman it behoveth first of the fruits to  partake; 
55N 002:007 be considering what things I say, for the Lord give to thee  understanding in all things. 
55N 002:008 Remember Jesus Christ, raised out of the dead, of the seed  of David, according to my good news, 
55N 002:009 in which I suffer evil -- unto bonds, as an evil-doer, but  the word of God hath not been bound; 
55N 002:010 because of this all things do I endure, because of the  choice ones, that they also salvation may obtain that [is] in  Christ Jesus, with glory age-during. 
55N 002:011 Stedfast [is] the word: For if we died together -- we also  shall live together; 
55N 002:012 if we do endure together -- we shall also reign together;  if we deny [him], he also shall deny us; 
55N 002:013 if we are not stedfast, he remaineth stedfast; to deny  himself he is not able. 
55N 002:014 These things remind [them] of, testifying fully before the  Lord -- not to strive about words to nothing profitable, but  to the subversion of those hearing; 
55N 002:015 be diligent to present thyself approved to God -- a workman  irreproachable, rightly dividing the word of the truth; 
55N 002:016 and the profane vain talkings stand aloof from, for to more  impiety they will advance, 
55N 002:017 and their word as a gangrene will have pasture, of whom is  Hymenaeus and Philetus, 
55N 002:018 who concerning the truth did swerve, saying the rising  again to have already been, and do overthrow the faith of  some; 
55N 002:019 sure, nevertheless, hath the foundation of God stood,  having this seal, `The Lord hath known those who are His,' and  `Let him depart from unrighteousness -- every one who is  naming the name of Christ.' 
55N 002:020 And in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and  of silver, but also of wood and of earth, and some to honour,  and some to dishonour: 
55N 002:021 if, then, any one may cleanse himself from these, he shall  be a vessel to honour, sanctified and profitable to the master  -- to every good work having been prepared, 
55N 002:022 and the youthful lusts flee thou, and pursue righteousness,  faith, love, peace, with those calling upon the Lord out of a  pure heart; 
55N 002:023 and the foolish and uninstructed questions be avoiding,  having known that they beget strife, 
55N 002:024 and a servant of the Lord it behoveth not to strive, but to  be gentle unto all, apt to teach, patient under evil, 
55N 002:025 in meekness instructing those opposing -- if perhaps God  may give to them repentance to an acknowledging of the truth, 
55N 002:026 and they may awake out of the devil's snare, having been  caught by him at his will. 
55N 003:001 And this know thou, that in the last days there shall come  perilous times, 
55N 003:002 for men shall be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,  boasters, proud, evil-speakers, to parents disobedient,  unthankful, unkind, 
55N 003:003 without natural affection, implacable, false accusers,  incontinent, fierce, not lovers of those who are good, 
55N 003:004 traitors, heady, lofty, lovers of pleasure more than lovers  of God, 
55N 003:005 having a form of piety, and its power having denied; and  from these be turning away, 
55N 003:006 for of these there are those coming into the houses and  leading captive the silly women, laden with sins, led away  with desires manifold, 
55N 003:007 always learning, and never to a knowledge of truth able to  come, 
55N 003:008 and, even as Jannes and Jambres stood against Moses, so also  these do stand against the truth, men corrupted in mind,  disapproved concerning the faith; 
55N 003:009 but they shall not advance any further, for their folly  shall be manifest to all, as theirs also did become. 
55N 003:010 And thou -- thou hast followed after my teaching, manner of  life, purpose, faith, long-suffering, love, endurance, 
55N 003:011 the persecutions, the afflictions, that befel me in  Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured,  and out of all the Lord did deliver me, 
55N 003:012 and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall  be persecuted, 
55N 003:013 and evil men and impostors shall advance to the worse,  leading astray and being led astray. 
55N 003:014 And thou -- be remaining in the things which thou didst  learn and wast entrusted with, having known from whom thou  didst learn, 
55N 003:015 and because from a babe the Holy Writings thou hast known,  which are able to make thee wise -- to salvation, through  faith that [is] in Christ Jesus; 
55N 003:016 every Writing [is] God-breathed, and profitable for  teaching, for conviction, for setting aright, for instruction  that [is] in righteousness, 
55N 003:017 that the man of God may be fitted -- for every good work  having been completed. 
55N 004:001 I do fully testify, then, before God, and the Lord Jesus  Christ, who is about to judge living and dead at his  manifestation and his reign -- 
55N 004:002 preach the word; be earnest in season, out of season,  convict, rebuke, exhort, in all long-suffering and teaching, 
55N 004:003 for there shall be a season when the sound teaching they  will not suffer, but according to their own desires to  themselves they shall heap up teachers -- itching in the  hearing, 
55N 004:004 and indeed, from the truth the hearing they shall turn away,  and to the fables they shall be turned aside. 
55N 004:005 And thou -- watch in all things; suffer evil; do the work of  one proclaiming good news; of thy ministration make full  assurance, 
55N 004:006 for I am already being poured out, and the time of my  release hath arrived; 
55N 004:007 the good strife I have striven, the course I have finished,  the faith I have kept, 
55N 004:008 henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of the  righteousness that the Lord -- the Righteous Judge -- shall  give to me in that day, and not only to me, but also to all  those loving his manifestation. 
55N 004:009 Be diligent to come unto me quickly, 
55N 004:010 for Demas forsook me, having loved the present age, and  went on to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus to  Dalmatia, 
55N 004:011 Lukas only is with me; Markus having taken, bring with  thyself, for he is profitable to me for ministration; 
55N 004:012 and Tychicus I sent to Ephesus; 
55N 004:013 the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, coming, bring  thou and the books -- especially the parchments. 
55N 004:014 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil; may the Lord  repay to him according to his works, 
55N 004:015 of whom also do thou beware, for greatly hath he stood  against our words; 
55N 004:016 in my first defence no one stood with me, but all forsook  me, (may it not be reckoned to them!) 
55N 004:017 and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that  through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the  nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion, 
55N 004:018 and the Lord shall free me from every evil work, and shall  save [me] -- to his heavenly kingdom; to whom [is] the glory to  the ages of the ages! Amen. 
55N 004:019 Salute Prisca and Aquilas, and Onesiphorus' household; 
55N 004:020 Erastus did remain in Corinth, and Trophimus I left in  Miletus infirm; 
55N 004:021 be diligent to come before winter. Salute thee doth  Eubulus, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the  brethren. 
55N 004:022 The Lord Jesus Christ [is] with thy spirit; the grace [is]  with you! Amen.  
56N 001:001 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ,  according to the faith of the choice ones of God, and an  acknowledging of truth that [is] according to piety, 
56N 001:002 upon hope of life age-during, which God, who doth not lie,  did promise before times of ages, 
56N 001:003 (and He manifested in proper times His word,) in preaching,  which I was entrusted with, according to a charge of God our  Saviour, 
56N 001:004 to Titus -- true child according to a common faith: Grace,  kindness, peace, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ  our Saviour! 
56N 001:005 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that the things lacking  thou mayest arrange, and mayest set down in every city elders,  as I did appoint to thee; 
56N 001:006 if any one is blameless, of one wife a husband, having  children stedfast, not under accusation of riotous living or  insubordinate -- 
56N 001:007 for it behoveth the overseer to be blameless, as God's  steward, not self-pleased, nor irascible, not given to wine,  not a striker, not given to filthy lucre; 
56N 001:008 but a lover of strangers, a lover of good men, sober-minded,  righteous, kind, self-controlled, 
56N 001:009 holding -- according to the teaching -- to the stedfast  word, that he may be able also to exhort in the sound  teaching, and the gainsayers to convict; 
56N 001:010 for there are many both insubordinate, vain-talkers, and  mind-deceivers -- especially they of the circumcision -- 
56N 001:011 whose mouth it behoveth to stop, who whole households do  overturn, teaching what things it behoveth not, for filthy  lucre's sake. 
56N 001:012 A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said --  `Cretans! always liars, evil beasts, lazy bellies!' 
56N 001:013 this testimony is true; for which cause convict them  sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 
56N 001:014 not giving heed to Jewish fables and commands of men,  turning themselves away from the truth; 
56N 001:015 all things, indeed, [are] pure to the pure, and to the  defiled and unstedfast [is] nothing pure, but of them defiled  [are] even the mind and the conscience; 
56N 001:016 God they profess to know, and in the works they deny [Him],  being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work  disapproved. 
56N 002:001 And thou -- be speaking what doth become the sound teaching; 
56N 002:002 aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith,  in the love, in the endurance; 
56N 002:003 aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become  sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved,  of good things teachers, 
56N 002:004 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be  lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children, 
56N 002:005 sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to  their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil  spoken of. 
56N 002:006 The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be  sober-minded; 
56N 002:007 concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good  works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,  incorruptibility, 
56N 002:008 discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the  contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say  concerning you. 
56N 002:009 Servants -- to their own masters [are] to be subject, in all  things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying, 
56N 002:010 not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the  teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things. 
56N 002:011 For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men, 
56N 002:012 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly  desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in  the present age, 
56N 002:013 waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory  of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, 
56N 002:014 who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from  all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar  people, zealous of good works; 
56N 002:015 these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting,  with all charge; let no one despise thee! 
56N 003:001 Remind them to be subject to principalities and authorities,  to obey rule, unto every good work to be ready, 
56N 003:002 of no one to speak evil, not to be quarrelsome -- gentle,  showing all meekness to all men, 
56N 003:003 for we were once -- also we -- thoughtless, disobedient, led  astray, serving desires and pleasures manifold, in malice and  envy living, odious -- hating one another; 
56N 003:004 and when the kindness and the love to men of God our Saviour  did appear 
56N 003:005 (not by works that [are] in righteousness that we did but  according to His kindness,) He did save us, through a bathing  of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit, 
56N 003:006 which He poured upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our  Saviour, 
56N 003:007 that having been declared righteous by His grace, heirs we  may become according to the hope of life age-during. 
56N 003:008 Stedfast [is] the word; and concerning these things I  counsel thee to affirm fully, that they may be thoughtful, to  be leading in good works -- who have believed God; these are  the good and profitable things to men, 
56N 003:009 and foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and  strivings about law, stand away from -- for they are  unprofitable and vain. 
56N 003:010 A sectarian man, after a first and second admonition be  rejecting, 
56N 003:011 having known that he hath been subverted who [is] such, and  doth sin, being self-condemned. 
56N 003:012 When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be  diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis, for there to winter I  have determined. 
56N 003:013 Zenas the lawyer and Apollos bring diligently on their way,  that nothing to them may be lacking, 
56N 003:014 and let them learn -- ours also -- to be leading in good  works to the necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. 
56N 003:015 Salute thee do all those with me; salute those loving us in  faith; the grace [is] with you all! 
57N 001:001 Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timotheus the brother,  to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker, 
57N 001:002 and Apphia the beloved, and Archippus our fellow-soldier,  and the assembly in thy house: 
57N 001:003 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord  Jesus Christ! 
57N 001:004 I give thanks to my God, always making mention of thee in my  prayers, 
57N 001:005 hearing of thy love and faith that thou hast unto the Lord  Jesus and toward all the saints, 
57N 001:006 that the fellowship of thy faith may become working in the  full knowledge of every good thing that [is] in you toward  Christ Jesus; 
57N 001:007 for we have much joy and comfort in thy love, because the  bowels of the saints have been refreshed through thee,  brother. 
57N 001:008 Wherefore, having in Christ much boldness to command thee  that which is fit -- 
57N 001:009 because of the love I rather entreat, being such an one as  Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ; 
57N 001:010 I entreat thee concerning my child -- whom I did beget in  my bonds -- Onesimus, 
57N 001:011 who once was to thee unprofitable, and now is profitable to  me and to thee, 
57N 001:012 whom I did send again, and thou him (that is, my own  bowels) receive, 
57N 001:013 whom I did wish to retain to myself, that in thy behalf he  might minister to me in the bonds of the good news, 
57N 001:014 and apart from thy mind I willed to do nothing, that as of  necessity thy good deed may not be, but of willingness, 
57N 001:015 for perhaps because of this he did depart for an hour, that  age-duringly thou mayest have him, 
57N 001:016 no more as a servant, but above a servant -- a brother  beloved, especially to me, and how much more to thee, both in  the flesh and in the Lord! 
57N 001:017 If, then, with me thou hast fellowship, receive him as me, 
57N 001:018 and if he did hurt to thee, or doth owe anything, this to  me be reckoning; 
57N 001:019 I, Paul did write with my hand, I -- I will repay; that I  may not say that also thyself, besides, to me thou dost owe. 
57N 001:020 Yes, brother, may I have profit of thee in the Lord;  refresh my bowels in the Lord; 
57N 001:021 having been confident in thy obedience I did write to thee,  having known that also above what I may say thou wilt do; 
57N 001:022 and at the same time also prepare for me a lodging, for I  hope that through your prayers I shall be granted to you. 
57N 001:023 Salute thee doth Epaphras, (my fellow-captive in Christ  Jesus,) 
57N 001:024 Markus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lukas, my fellow-workmen! 
57N 001:025 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with your spirit!  Amen. 
58N 001:001 In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to  the fathers in the prophets, 
58N 001:002 in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He  appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the  ages; 
58N 001:003 who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of  His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying  of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our  sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the  highest, 
58N 001:004 having become so much better than the messengers, as he did  inherit a more excellent name than they. 
58N 001:005 For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou  art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to  him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?' 
58N 001:006 and when again He may bring in the first-born to the world,  He saith, `And let them bow before him -- all messengers of  God;' 
58N 001:007 and unto the messengers, indeed, He saith, `Who is making  His messengers spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire;' 
58N 001:008 and unto the Son: `Thy throne, O God, [is] to the age of the  age; a scepter of righteousness [is] the scepter of thy reign; 
58N 001:009 thou didst love righteousness, and didst hate lawlessness;  because of this did He anoint thee -- God, thy God -- with oil  of gladness above thy partners;' 
58N 001:010 and, `Thou, at the beginning, Lord, the earth didst found,  and a work of thy hands are the heavens; 
58N 001:011 these shall perish, and Thou dost remain, and all, as a  garment, shall become old, 
58N 001:012 and as a mantle Thou shall roll them together, and they  shall be changed, and Thou art the same, and Thy years shall  not fail.' 
58N 001:013 And unto which of the messengers said He ever, `Sit at My  right hand, till I may make thine enemies thy footstool?' 
58N 001:014 are they not all spirits of service -- for ministration  being sent forth because of those about to inherit salvation? 
58N 002:001 Because of this it behoveth [us] more abundantly to take  heed to the things heard, lest we may glide aside, 
58N 002:002 for if the word being spoken through messengers did become  stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience did receive  a just recompense, 
58N 002:003 how shall we escape, having neglected so great salvation?  which a beginning receiving -- to be spoken through the Lord  -- by those having heard was confirmed to us, 
58N 002:004 God also bearing joint-witness both with signs and wonders,  and manifold powers, and distributions of the Holy Spirit,  according to His will. 
58N 002:005 For not to messengers did He subject the coming world,  concerning which we speak, 
58N 002:006 and one in a certain place did testify fully, saying, `What  is man, that Thou art mindful of him, or a son of man, that  Thou dost look after him? 
58N 002:007 Thou didst make him some little less than messengers, with  glory and honour Thou didst crown him, and didst set him over  the works of Thy hands, 
58N 002:008 all things Thou didst put in subjection under his feet,' for  in the subjecting to him the all things, nothing did He leave  to him unsubjected, and now not yet do we see the all things  subjected to him, 
58N 002:009 and him who was made some little less than messengers we see  -- Jesus -- because of the suffering of the death, with glory  and honour having been crowned, that by the grace of God for  every one he might taste of death. 
58N 002:010 For it was becoming to Him, because of whom [are] the all  things, and through whom [are] the all things, many sons to  glory bringing, the author of their salvation through  sufferings to make perfect, 
58N 002:011 for both he who is sanctifying and those sanctified [are]  all of one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them  brethren, 
58N 002:012 saying, `I will declare Thy name to my brethren, in the  midst of an assembly I will sing praise to Thee;' and again,  `I will be trusting on Him;' 
58N 002:013 and again, `Behold I and the children that God did give to  me.' 
58N 002:014 Seeing, then, the children have partaken of flesh and  blood, he himself also in like manner did take part of the  same, that through death he might destroy him having the power  of death -- that is, the devil -- 
58N 002:015 and might deliver those, whoever, with fear of death,  throughout all their life, were subjects of bondage, 
58N 002:016 for, doubtless, of messengers it doth not lay hold, but of  seed of Abraham it layeth hold, 
58N 002:017 wherefore it did behove him in all things to be made like  to the brethren, that he might become a kind and stedfast  chief-priest in the things with God, to make propitiation for  the sins of the people, 
58N 002:018 for in that he suffered, himself being tempted, he is able  to help those who are tempted. 
58N 003:001 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling,  consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession,  Christ Jesus, 
58N 003:002 being stedfast to Him who did appoint him, as also Moses in  all his house, 
58N 003:003 for of more glory than Moses hath this one been counted  worthy, inasmuch as more honour than the house hath he who doth  build it, 
58N 003:004 for every house is builded by some one, and He who the all  things did build [is] God, 
58N 003:005 and Moses indeed [was] stedfast in all his house, as an  attendant, for a testimony of those things that were to be  spoken, 
58N 003:006 and Christ, as a Son over his house, whose house are we, if  the boldness and the rejoicing of the hope unto the end we  hold fast. 
58N 003:007 Wherefore, (as the Holy Spirit saith, `To-day, if His voice  ye may hear -- 
58N 003:008 ye may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation, in the  day of the temptation in the wilderness, 
58N 003:009 in which tempt Me did your fathers, they did prove Me, and  saw My works forty years; 
58N 003:010 wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said,  Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My  ways; 
58N 003:011 so I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest --  !') 
58N 003:012 See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil  heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God, 
58N 003:013 but exhort ye one another every day, while the To-day is  called, that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness  of the sin, 
58N 003:014 for partakers we have become of the Christ, if the  beginning of the confidence unto the end we may hold fast, 
58N 003:015 in its being said, `To-day, if His voice ye may hear, ye  may not harden your hearts, as in the provocation,' 
58N 003:016 for certain having heard did provoke, but not all who did  come out of Egypt through Moses; 
58N 003:017 but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with  those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness? 
58N 003:018 and to whom did He swear that they shall not enter into His  rest, except to those who did not believe? -- 
58N 003:019 and we see that they were not able to enter in because of  unbelief. 
58N 004:001 We may fear, then, lest a promise being left of entering  into His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short, 
58N 004:002 for we also are having good news proclaimed, even as they,  but the word heard did not profit them, not being mixed with  faith in those who heard, 
58N 004:003 for we do enter into the rest -- we who did believe, as He  said, `So I sware in My anger, If they shall enter into My rest  -- ;' and yet the works were done from the foundation of the  world, 
58N 004:004 for He spake in a certain place concerning the seventh [day]  thus: `And God did rest in the seventh day from all His works;' 
58N 004:005 and in this [place] again, `If they shall enter into My rest  -- ;' 
58N 004:006 since then, it remaineth for certain to enter into it, and  those who did first hear good news entered not in because of  unbelief -- 
58N 004:007 again He doth limit a certain day, `To-day,' (in David  saying, after so long a time,) as it hath been said, `To-day,  if His voice ye may hear, ye may not harden your hearts,' 
58N 004:008 for if Joshua had given them rest, He would not concerning  another day have spoken after these things; 
58N 004:009 there doth remain, then, a sabbatic rest to the people of  God, 
58N 004:010 for he who did enter into his rest, he also rested from his  works, as God from His own. 
58N 004:011 May we be diligent, then, to enter into that rest, that no  one in the same example of the unbelief may fall, 
58N 004:012 for the reckoning of God is living, and working, and sharp  above every two-edged sword, and piercing unto the dividing  asunder both of soul and spirit, of joints also and marrow,  and a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart; 
58N 004:013 and there is not a created thing not manifest before Him,  but all things [are] naked and open to His eyes -- with whom  is our reckoning. 
58N 004:014 Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the  heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the  profession, 
58N 004:015 for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with  our infirmities, but [one] tempted in all things in like  manner -- apart from sin; 
58N 004:016 we may come near, then, with freedom, to the throne of the  grace, that we may receive kindness, and find grace -- for  seasonable help. 
58N 005:001 For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of  men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer  both gifts and sacrifices for sins, 
58N 005:002 able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since  himself also is compassed with infirmity; 
58N 005:003 and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people,  so also for himself to offer for sins; 
58N 005:004 and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is  called by God, as also Aaron: 
58N 005:005 so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief  priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day  have begotten thee;' 
58N 005:006 as also in another [place] He saith, `Thou [art] a priest --  to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' 
58N 005:007 who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications  unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong  crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard  in respect to that which he feared, 
58N 005:008 through being a Son, did learn by the things which he  suffered -- the obedience, 
58N 005:009 and having been made perfect, he did become to all those  obeying him a cause of salvation age-during, 
58N 005:010 having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to  the order of Melchisedek, 
58N 005:011 concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard  explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing, 
58N 005:012 for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again  ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the  beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having  need of milk, and not of strong food, 
58N 005:013 for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in  the word of righteousness -- for he is an infant, 
58N 005:014 and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the  use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both  of good and of evil. 
58N 006:001 Wherefore, having left the word of the beginning of the  Christ, unto the perfection we may advance, not again a  foundation laying of reformation from dead works, and of faith  on God, 
58N 006:002 of the teaching of baptisms, of laying on also of hands, of  rising again also of the dead, and of judgment age-during, 
58N 006:003 and this we will do, if God may permit, 
58N 006:004 for [it is] impossible for those once enlightened, having  tasted also of the heavenly gift, and partakers having became  of the Holy Spirit, 
58N 006:005 and did taste the good saying of God, the powers also of the  coming age, 
58N 006:006 and having fallen away, again to renew [them] to  reformation, having crucified again to themselves the Son of  God, and exposed to public shame. 
58N 006:007 For earth, that is drinking in the rain many times coming  upon it, and is bringing forth herbs fit for those because of  whom also it is dressed, doth partake of blessing from God, 
58N 006:008 and that which is bearing thorns and briers [is] disapproved  of, and nigh to cursing, whose end [is] for burning; 
58N 006:009 and we are persuaded, concerning you, beloved, the things  that are better, and accompanying salvation, though even thus  we speak, 
58N 006:010 for God is not unrighteous to forget your work, and the  labour of the love, that ye shewed to His name, having  ministered to the saints and ministering; 
58N 006:011 and we desire each one of you the same diligence to shew,  unto the full assurance of the hope unto the end, 
58N 006:012 that ye may not become slothful, but followers of those who  through faith and patient endurance are inheriting the  promises. 
58N 006:013 For to Abraham God, having made promise, seeing He was able  to swear by no greater, did swear by Himself, 
58N 006:014 saying, `Blessing indeed I will bless thee, and multiplying  I will multiply thee;' 
58N 006:015 and so, having patiently endured, he did obtain the  promise; 
58N 006:016 for men indeed do swear by the greater, and an end of all  controversy to them for confirmation [is] the oath, 
58N 006:017 in which God, more abundantly willing to shew to the heirs  of the promise the immutability of his counsel, did interpose  by an oath, 
58N 006:018 that through two immutable things, in which [it is]  impossible for God to lie, a strong comfort we may have who  did flee for refuge to lay hold on the hope set before [us], 
58N 006:019 which we have, as an anchor of the soul, both sure and  stedfast, and entering into that within the vail, 
58N 006:020 whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the  order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age. 
58N 007:001 For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most  High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of  the kings, and did bless him, 
58N 007:002 to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first,  indeed, being interpreted, `King of righteousness,' and then  also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,) 
58N 007:003 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having  neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like  to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually. 
58N 007:004 And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth  Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils, 
58N 007:005 and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the  priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people  according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though  they came forth out of the loins of Abraham; 
58N 007:006 and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received  tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath  blessed, 
58N 007:007 and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is  blessed -- 
58N 007:008 and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there  [he], who is testified to that he was living, 
58N 007:009 and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving  tithes, hath paid tithes, 
58N 007:010 for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek  met him. 
58N 007:011 If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical  priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what  further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for  another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the  order of Aaron? 
58N 007:012 for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the  law a change doth come, 
58N 007:013 for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath  had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar, 
58N 007:014 for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord,  in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning  priesthood. 
58N 007:015 And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to  the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest, 
58N 007:016 who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but  according to the power of an endless life, 
58N 007:017 for He doth testify -- `Thou [art] a priest -- to the age,  according to the order of Melchisedek;' 
58N 007:018 for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going  before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness, 
58N 007:019 (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a  better hope, through which we draw nigh to God. 
58N 007:020 And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those  indeed apart from oath are become priests, 
58N 007:021 and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him,  `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest -- to  the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;') 
58N 007:022 by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety, 
58N 007:023 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because  by death they are hindered from remaining; 
58N 007:024 and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the  priesthood not transient, 
58N 007:025 whence also he is able to save to the very end, those  coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession  for them. 
58N 007:026 For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless,  undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than  the heavens, 
58N 007:027 who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first  for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the  people; for this he did once, having offered up himself; 
58N 007:028 for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having  infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law  [appointeth] the Son -- to the age having been perfected. 
58N 008:001 And the sum concerning the things spoken of [is]: we have  such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the  throne of the greatness in the heavens, 
58N 008:002 of the holy places a servant, and of the true tabernacle,  which the Lord did set up, and not man, 
58N 008:003 for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is  appointed, whence [it is] necessary for this one to have also  something that he may offer; 
58N 008:004 for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest  -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the  law, the gifts, 
58N 008:005 who unto an example and shadow do serve of the heavenly  things, as Moses hath been divinely warned, being about to  construct the tabernacle, for `See (saith He) thou mayest make  all things according to the pattern that was shewn to thee in  the mount;') -- 
58N 008:006 and now he hath obtained a more excellent service, how much  also of a better covenant is he mediator, which on better  promises hath been sanctioned, 
58N 008:007 for if that first were faultless, a place would not have  been sought for a second. 
58N 008:008 For finding fault, He saith to them, `Lo, days come, saith  the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel, and  with the house of Judah, a new covenant, 
58N 008:009 not according to the covenant that I made with their  fathers, in the day of My taking [them] by their hand, to bring  them out of the land of Egypt -- because they did not remain in  My covenant, and I did not regard them, saith the Lord, -- 
58N 008:010 because this [is] the covenant that I will make with the  house of Israel, after those days, saith the Lord, giving My  laws into their mind, and upon their hearts I will write them,  and I will be to them for a God, and they shall be to Me for a  people; 
58N 008:011 and they shall not teach each his neighbour, and each his  brother, saying, Know thou the Lord, because they shall all  know Me from the small one of them unto the great one of them, 
58N 008:012 because I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and  their sins and their lawlessnesses I will remember no more;'  -- 
58N 008:013 in the saying `new,' He hath made the first old, and what  doth become obsolete and is old [is] nigh disappearing. 
58N 009:001 It had, indeed, then (even the first tabernacle) ordinances  of service, also a worldly sanctuary, 
58N 009:002 for a tabernacle was prepared, the first, in which was both  the lamp-stand, and the table, and the bread of the presence --  which is called `Holy;' 
58N 009:003 and after the second vail a tabernacle that is called `Holy  of holies,' 
58N 009:004 having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid  all round about with gold, in which [is] the golden pot having  the manna, and the rod of Aaron that budded, and the tables of  the covenant, 
58N 009:005 and over it cherubim of the glory, overshadowing the  mercy-seat, concerning which we are not now to speak  particularly. 
58N 009:006 And these things having been thus prepared, into the first  tabernacle, indeed, at all times the priests do go in,  performing the services, 
58N 009:007 and into the second, once in the year, only the chief  priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself  and the errors of the people, 
58N 009:008 the Holy Spirit this evidencing that not yet hath been  manifested the way of the holy [places], the first tabernacle  having yet a standing; 
58N 009:009 which [is] a simile in regard to the present time, in which  both gifts and sacrifices are offered, which are not able, in  regard to conscience, to make perfect him who is serving, 
58N 009:010 only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and  fleshly ordinances -- till the time of reformation imposed  upon [them]. 
58N 009:011 And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good  things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not  made with hands -- that is, not of this creation -- 
58N 009:012 neither through blood of goats and calves, but through his  own blood, did enter in once into the holy places, age-during  redemption having obtained; 
58N 009:013 for if the blood of bulls, and goats, and ashes of an  heifer, sprinkling those defiled, doth sanctify to the  purifying of the flesh, 
58N 009:014 how much more shall the blood of the Christ (who through  the age-during Spirit did offer himself unblemished to God)  purify your conscience from dead works to serve the living  God? 
58N 009:015 And because of this, of a new covenant he is mediator,  that, death having come, for redemption of the transgressions  under the first covenant, those called may receive the promise  of the age-during inheritance, 
58N 009:016 for where a covenant [is], the death of the covenant-victim  to come in is necessary, 
58N 009:017 for a covenant over dead victims [is] stedfast, since it is  no force at all when the covenant-victim liveth, 
58N 009:018 whence not even the first apart from blood hath been  initiated, 
58N 009:019 for every command having been spoken, according to law, by  Moses, to all the people, having taken the blood of the calves  and goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he both  the book itself and all the people did sprinkle, 
58N 009:020 saying, `This [is] the blood of the covenant that God  enjoined unto you,' 
58N 009:021 and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service  with blood in like manner he did sprinkle, 
58N 009:022 and with blood almost all things are purified according to  the law, and apart from blood-shedding forgiveness doth not  come. 
58N 009:023 [It is] necessary, therefore, the pattern indeed of the  things in the heavens to be purified with these, and the  heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these; 
58N 009:024 for not into holy places made with hands did the Christ  enter -- figures of the true -- but into the heaven itself, now  to be manifested in the presence of God for us; 
58N 009:025 nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief  priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of  others; 
58N 009:026 since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the  foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the  ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath  been manifested; 
58N 009:027 and as it is laid up to men once to die, and after this --  judgment, 
58N 009:028 so also the Christ, once having been offered to bear the  sins of many, a second time, apart from a sin-offering, shall  appear, to those waiting for him -- to salvation! 
58N 010:001 For the law having a shadow of the coming good things --  not the very image of the matters, every year, by the same  sacrifices that they offer continually, is never able to make  perfect those coming near, 
58N 010:002 since, would they not have ceased to be offered, because of  those serving having no more conscience of sins, having once  been purified? 
58N 010:003 but in those [sacrifices] is a remembrance of sins every  year, 
58N 010:004 for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take  away sins. 
58N 010:005 Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and  offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare  for me, 
58N 010:006 in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou  didst not delight, 
58N 010:007 then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath  been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;' 
58N 010:008 saying above -- `Sacrifice, and offering, and  burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not  will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are  offered -- 
58N 010:009 then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth  take away the first that the second he may establish; 
58N 010:010 in the which will we are having been sanctified through  the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once, 
58N 010:011 and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and  the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to  take away sins. 
58N 010:012 And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the  end, did sit down on the right hand of God, -- 
58N 010:013 as to the rest, expecting till He may place his enemies  [as] his footstool, 
58N 010:014 for by one offering he hath perfected to the end those  sanctified; 
58N 010:015 and testify to us also doth the Holy Spirit, for after  that He hath said before, 
58N 010:016 `This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after  those days, saith the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and  upon their minds I will write them,' 
58N 010:017 and `their sins and their lawlessness I will remember no  more;' 
58N 010:018 and where forgiveness of these [is], there is no more  offering for sin. 
58N 010:019 Having, therefore, brethren, boldness for the entrance  into the holy places, in the blood of Jesus, 
58N 010:020 which way he did initiate for us -- new and living,  through the vail, that is, his flesh -- 
58N 010:021 and a high priest over the house of God, 
58N 010:022 may we draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of  faith, having the hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience,  and having the body bathed with pure water; 
58N 010:023 may we hold fast the unwavering profession of the hope,  (for faithful [is] He who did promise), 
58N 010:024 and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to  good works, 
58N 010:025 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a  custom of certain [is], but exhorting, and so much the more as  ye see the day coming nigh. 
58N 010:026 For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full  knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a  sacrifice, 
58N 010:027 but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery  zeal, about to devour the opposers; 
58N 010:028 any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from  mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die, 
58N 010:029 of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy  who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the  covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified,  and to the Spirit of the grace did despite? 
58N 010:030 for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance [is] Mine,  I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall  judge His people;' -- 
58N 010:031 fearful [is] the falling into the hands of a living God. 
58N 010:032 And call to your remembrance the former days, in which,  having been enlightened, ye did endure much conflict of  sufferings, 
58N 010:033 partly both with reproaches and tribulations being made  spectacles, and partly having become partners of those so  living, 
58N 010:034 for also with my bonds ye sympathised, and the robbery of  your goods with joy ye did receive, knowing that ye have in  yourselves a better substance in the heavens, and an enduring  one. 
58N 010:035 Ye may not cast away, then, your boldness, which hath  great recompense of reward, 
58N 010:036 for of patience ye have need, that the will of God having  done, ye may receive the promise, 
58N 010:037 for yet a very very little, He who is coming will come,  and will not tarry; 
58N 010:038 and `the righteous by faith shall live,' and `if he may  draw back, My soul hath no pleasure in him,' 
58N 010:039 and we are not of those drawing back to destruction, but  of those believing to a preserving of soul. 
58N 011:001 And faith is of things hoped for a confidence, of matters  not seen a conviction, 
58N 011:002 for in this were the elders testified of; 
58N 011:003 by faith we understand the ages to have been prepared by a  saying of God, in regard to the things seen not having come  out of things appearing; 
58N 011:004 by faith a better sacrifice did Abel offer to God than  Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God  testifying of his gifts, and through it, he being dead, doth  yet speak. 
58N 011:005 By faith Enoch was translated -- not to see death, and was  not found, because God did translate him; for before his  translation he had been testified to -- that he had pleased  God well, 
58N 011:006 and apart from faith it is impossible to please well, for  it behoveth him who is coming to God to believe that He is,  and to those seeking Him He becometh a rewarder. 
58N 011:007 By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the  things not yet seen, having feared, did prepare an ark to the  salvation of his house, through which he did condemn the  world, and of the righteousness according to faith he became  heir. 
58N 011:008 By faith Abraham, being called, did obey, to go forth to  the place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, and  he went forth, not knowing whither he doth go; 
58N 011:009 by faith he did sojourn in the land of the promise as a  strange country, in tabernacles having dwelt with Isaac and  Jacob, fellow-heirs of the same promise, 
58N 011:010 for he was looking for the city having the foundations,  whose artificer and constructor [is] God. 
58N 011:011 By faith also Sarah herself did receive power to conceive  seed, and she bare after the time of life, seeing she did  judge Him faithful who did promise; 
58N 011:012 wherefore, also from one were begotten -- and that of one  who had become dead -- as the stars of the heaven in multitude,  and as sand that [is] by the sea-shore -- the innumerable. 
58N 011:013 In faith died all these, not having received the promises,  but from afar having seen them, and having been persuaded, and  having saluted [them], and having confessed that strangers and  sojourners they are upon the earth, 
58N 011:014 for those saying such things make manifest that they seek  a country; 
58N 011:015 and if, indeed, they had been mindful of that from which  they came forth, they might have had an opportunity to return, 
58N 011:016 but now they long for a better, that is, an heavenly,  wherefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God,  for He did prepare for them a city. 
58N 011:017 By faith Abraham hath offered up Isaac, being tried, and  the only begotten he did offer up who did receive the  promises, 
58N 011:018 of whom it was said -- `In Isaac shall a seed be called to  thee;' 
58N 011:019 reckoning that even out of the dead God is able to raise  up, whence also in a figure he did receive [him]. 
58N 011:020 By faith, concerning coming things, Isaac did bless Jacob  and Esau; 
58N 011:021 by faith Jacob dying -- each of the sons of Joseph did  bless, and did bow down upon the top of his staff; 
58N 011:022 by faith, Joseph dying, concerning the outgoing of the  sons of Israel did make mention, and concerning his bones did  give command. 
58N 011:023 By faith Moses, having been born, was hid three months by  his parents, because they saw the child comely, and were not  afraid of the decree of the king; 
58N 011:024 by faith Moses, having become great, did refuse to be  called a son of the daughter of Pharaoh, 
58N 011:025 having chosen rather to be afflicted with the people of  God, than to have sin's pleasure for a season, 
58N 011:026 greater wealth having reckoned the reproach of the Christ  than the treasures in Egypt, for he did look to the recompense  of reward; 
58N 011:027 by faith he left Egypt behind, not having been afraid of  the wrath of the king, for, as seeing the Invisible One -- he  endured; 
58N 011:028 by faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of the  blood, that He who is destroying the first-born might not  touch them. 
58N 011:029 By faith they did pass through the Red Sea as through dry  land, which the Egyptians having received a trial of, were  swallowed up; 
58N 011:030 by faith the walls of Jericho did fall, having been  surrounded for seven days; 
58N 011:031 by faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who  disbelieved, having received the spies with peace. 
58N 011:032 And what shall I yet say? for the time will fail me  recounting about Gideon, Barak also, and Samson, and Jephthah,  David also, and Samuel, and the prophets, 
58N 011:033 who through faith did subdue kingdoms, wrought  righteousness, obtained promises, stopped mouths of lions, 
58N 011:034 quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouth of the  sword, were made powerful out of infirmities, became strong in  battle, caused to give way camps of the aliens. 
58N 011:035 Women received by a rising again their dead, and others  were tortured, not accepting the redemption, that a better  rising again they might receive, 
58N 011:036 and others of mockings and scourgings did receive trial,  and yet of bonds and imprisonment; 
58N 011:037 they were stoned, they were sawn asunder, they were tried;  in the killing of the sword they died; they went about in  sheepskins, in goatskins -- being destitute, afflicted,  injuriously treated, 
58N 011:038 of whom the world was not worthy; in deserts wandering,  and [in] mountains, and [in] caves, and [in] the holes of the  earth; 
58N 011:039 and these all, having been testified to through the faith,  did not receive the promise, 
58N 011:040 God for us something better having provided, that apart  from us they might not be made perfect. 
58N 012:001 Therefore, we also having so great a cloud of witnesses set  around us, every weight having put off, and the closely  besetting sin, through endurance may we run the contest that  is set before us, 
58N 012:002 looking to the author and perfecter of faith -- Jesus, who,  over-against the joy set before him -- did endure a cross,  shame having despised, on the right hand also of the throne of  God did sit down; 
58N 012:003 for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the  sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls  -- being faint. 
58N 012:004 Not yet unto blood did ye resist -- with the sin striving; 
58N 012:005 and ye have forgotten the exhortation that doth speak fully  with you as with sons, `My son, be not despising chastening of  the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him, 
58N 012:006 for whom the Lord doth love He doth chasten, and He  scourgeth every son whom He receiveth;' 
58N 012:007 if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to  you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten? 
58N 012:008 and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have  become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons. 
58N 012:009 Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising  [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather  be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live? 
58N 012:010 for they, indeed, for a few days, according to what seemed  good to them, were chastening, but He for profit, to be  partakers of His separation; 
58N 012:011 and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem  to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit  of righteousness to those exercised through it -- it doth  yield. 
58N 012:012 Wherefore, the hanging-down hands and the loosened knees  set ye up; 
58N 012:013 and straight paths make for your feet, that that which is  lame may not be turned aside, but rather be healed; 
58N 012:014 peace pursue with all, and the separation, apart from  which no one shall see the Lord, 
58N 012:015 looking diligently over lest any one be failing of the  grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up may  give trouble, and through this many may be defiled; 
58N 012:016 lest any one be a fornicator, or a profane person, as  Esau, who in exchange for one morsel of food did sell his  birthright, 
58N 012:017 for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the  blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he  found not, though with tears having sought it. 
58N 012:018 For ye came not near to the mount touched and scorched  with fire, and to blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 
58N 012:019 and a sound of a trumpet, and a voice of sayings, which  those having heard did entreat that a word might not be added  to them, 
58N 012:020 for they were not bearing that which is commanded, `And if  a beast may touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or with an  arrow shot through,' 
58N 012:021 and, (so terrible was the sight,) Moses said, `I am  fearful exceedingly, and trembling.' 
58N 012:022 But, ye came to Mount Zion, and to a city of the living  God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of messengers, 
58N 012:023 to the company and assembly of the first-born in heaven  enrolled, and to God the judge of all, and to spirits of  righteous men made perfect, 
58N 012:024 and to a mediator of a new covenant -- Jesus, and to blood  of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel! 
58N 012:025 See, may ye not refuse him who is speaking, for if those  did not escape who refused him who upon earth was divinely  speaking -- much less we who do turn away from him who  [speaketh] from heaven, 
58N 012:026 whose voice the earth shook then, and now hath he  promised, saying, `Yet once -- I shake not only the earth, but  also the heaven;' 
58N 012:027 and this -- `Yet once' -- doth make evident the removal of  the things shaken, as of things having been made, that the  things not shaken may remain; 
58N 012:028 wherefore, a kingdom that cannot be shaken receiving, may  we have grace, through which we may serve God well-pleasingly,  with reverence and religious fear; 
58N 012:029 for also our God [is] a consuming fire. 
58N 013:001 Let brotherly love remain; 
58N 013:002 of the hospitality be not forgetful, for through this  unawares certain did entertain messengers; 
58N 013:003 be mindful of those in bonds, as having been bound with  them, of those maltreated, as also yourselves being in the  body; 
58N 013:004 honourable [is] the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled,  and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge. 
58N 013:005 Without covetousness the behaviour, being content with the  things present, for He hath said, `No, I will not leave, no,  nor forsake thee,' 
58N 013:006 so that we do boldly say, `The Lord [is] to me a helper,  and I will not fear what man shall do to me.' 
58N 013:007 Be mindful of those leading you, who did speak to you the  word of God, whose faith -- considering the issue of the  behaviour -- be imitating, 
58N 013:008 Jesus Christ yesterday and to-day the same, and to the  ages; 
58N 013:009 with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about,  for [it is] good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not  with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited; 
58N 013:010 we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority  who the tabernacle are serving, 
58N 013:011 for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into  the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the  bodies are burned without the camp. 
58N 013:012 Wherefore, also Jesus -- that he might sanctify through  [his] own blood the people -- without the gate did suffer; 
58N 013:013 now, then, may we go forth unto him without the camp, his  reproach bearing; 
58N 013:014 for we have not here an abiding city, but the coming one  we seek; 
58N 013:015 through him, then, we may offer up a sacrifice of praise  always to God, that is, the fruit of lips, giving thanks to  His name; 
58N 013:016 and of doing good, and of fellowship, be not forgetful,  for with such sacrifices God is well-pleased. 
58N 013:017 Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for  these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that  with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this [is]  unprofitable to you. 
58N 013:018 Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience,  in all things willing to behave well, 
58N 013:019 and more abundantly do I call upon [you] to do this, that  more quickly I may be restored to you. 
58N 013:020 And the God of the peace, who did bring up out of the dead  the great shepherd of the sheep -- in the blood of an  age-during covenant -- our Lord Jesus, 
58N 013:021 make you perfect in every good work to do His will, doing  in you that which is well-pleasing before Him, through Jesus  Christ, to whom [is] the glory -- to the ages of the ages!  Amen. 
58N 013:022 And I entreat you, brethren, suffer the word of the  exhortation, for also through few words I have written to you. 
58N 013:023 Know ye that the brother Timotheus is released, with whom,  if he may come more shortly, I will see you. 
58N 013:024 Salute all those leading you, and all the saints; salute  you doth those from Italy: 
58N 013:025 the grace [is] with you all! Amen.  
59N 001:001 James, of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ a servant, to the  Twelve Tribes who are in the dispersion: Hail! 
59N 001:002 All joy count [it], my brethren, when ye may fall into  temptations manifold; 
59N 001:003 knowing that the proof of your faith doth work endurance, 
59N 001:004 and let the endurance have a perfect work, that ye may be  perfect and entire -- in nothing lacking; 
59N 001:005 and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who  is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall  be given to him; 
59N 001:006 and let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he who is  doubting hath been like a wave of the sea, driven by wind and  tossed, 
59N 001:007 for let not that man suppose that he shall receive anything  from the Lord -- 
59N 001:008 a two-souled man [is] unstable in all his ways. 
59N 001:009 And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation, 
59N 001:010 and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of  grass he shall pass away; 
59N 001:011 for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither  the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its  appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade  away! 
59N 001:012 Happy the man who doth endure temptation, because, becoming  approved, he shall receive the crown of the life, which the  Lord did promise to those loving Him. 
59N 001:013 Let no one say, being tempted -- `From God I am tempted,'  for God is not tempted of evil, and Himself doth tempt no one, 
59N 001:014 and each one is tempted, by his own desires being led away  and enticed, 
59N 001:015 afterward the desire having conceived, doth give birth to  sin, and the sin having been perfected, doth bring forth  death. 
59N 001:016 Be not led astray, my brethren beloved; 
59N 001:017 every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above,  coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no  variation, or shadow of turning; 
59N 001:018 having counselled, He did beget us with a word of truth,  for our being a certain first-fruit of His creatures. 
59N 001:019 So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to  hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, 
59N 001:020 for the wrath of a man the righteousness of God doth not  work; 
59N 001:021 wherefore having put aside all filthiness and  superabundance of evil, in meekness be receiving the engrafted  word, that is able to save your souls; 
59N 001:022 and become ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,  deceiving yourselves, 
59N 001:023 because, if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer,  this one hath been like to a man viewing his natural face in a  mirror, 
59N 001:024 for he did view himself, and hath gone away, and  immediately he did forget of what kind he was; 
59N 001:025 and he who did look into the perfect law -- that of  liberty, and did continue there, this one -- not a forgetful  hearer becoming, but a doer of work -- this one shall be happy  in his doing. 
59N 001:026 If any one doth think to be religious among you, not  bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain  [is] the religion; 
59N 001:027 religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is  this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation --  unspotted to keep himself from the world. 
59N 002:001 My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of  the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
59N 002:002 for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold  ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in  vile raiment, 
59N 002:003 and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may  say to him, `Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man  may say, `Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my  footstool,' -- 
59N 002:004 ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become  ill-reasoning judges. 
59N 002:005 Hearken, my brethren beloved, did not God choose the poor of  this world, rich in faith, and heirs of the reign that He  promised to those loving Him? 
59N 002:006 and ye did dishonour the poor one; do not the rich oppress  you and themselves draw you to judgment-seats; 
59N 002:007 do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was  called upon you? 
59N 002:008 If, indeed, royal law ye complete, according to the Writing,  `Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,' -- ye do well; 
59N 002:009 and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by  the law as transgressors; 
59N 002:010 for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in  one [point], he hath become guilty of all; 
59N 002:011 for He who is saying, `Thou mayest not commit adultery,'  said also, `Thou mayest do no murder;' and if thou shalt not  commit adultery, and shalt commit murder, thou hast become a  transgressor of law; 
59N 002:012 so speak ye and so do, as about by a law of liberty to be  judged, 
59N 002:013 for the judgment without kindness [is] to him not having  done kindness, and exult doth kindness over judgment. 
59N 002:014 What [is] the profit, my brethren, if faith, any one may  speak of having, and works he may not have? is that faith able  to save him? 
59N 002:015 and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be  destitute of the daily food, 
59N 002:016 and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be  warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things  needful for the body, what [is] the profit? 
59N 002:017 so also the faith, if it may not have works, is dead by  itself. 
59N 002:018 But say may some one, Thou hast faith, and I have works,  shew me thy faith out of thy works, and I will shew thee out of  my works my faith: 
59N 002:019 thou -- thou dost believe that God is one; thou dost well,  and the demons believe, and they shudder! 
59N 002:020 And dost thou wish to know, O vain man, that the faith  apart from the works is dead? 
59N 002:021 Abraham our father -- was not he declared righteous out of  works, having brought up Isaac his son upon the altar? 
59N 002:022 dost thou see that the faith was working with his works,  and out of the works the faith was perfected? 
59N 002:023 and fulfilled was the Writing that is saying, `And Abraham  did believe God, and it was reckoned to him -- to  righteousness;' and, `Friend of God' he was called. 
59N 002:024 Ye see, then, that out of works is man declared righteous,  and not out of faith only; 
59N 002:025 and in like manner also Rahab the harlot -- was she not out  of works declared righteous, having received the messengers,  and by another way having sent forth? 
59N 002:026 for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also the  faith apart from the works is dead. 
59N 003:001 Many teachers become not, my brethren, having known that  greater judgment we shall receive, 
59N 003:002 for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not  stumble, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle also the  whole body; 
59N 003:003 lo, the bits we put into the mouths of the horses for their  obeying us, and their whole body we turn about; 
59N 003:004 lo, also the ships, being so great, and by fierce winds  being driven, are led about by a very small helm,  whithersoever the impulse of the helmsman doth counsel, 
59N 003:005 so also the tongue is a little member, and doth boast  greatly; lo, a little fire how much wood it doth kindle! 
59N 003:006 and the tongue [is] a fire, the world of the  unrighteousness, so the tongue is set in our members, which is  spotting our whole body, and is setting on fire the course of  nature, and is set on fire by the gehenna. 
59N 003:007 For every nature, both of beasts and of fowls, both of  creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued, and hath  been subdued, by the human nature, 
59N 003:008 and the tongue no one of men is able to subdue, [it is] an  unruly evil, full of deadly poison, 
59N 003:009 with it we do bless the God and Father, and with it we do  curse the men made according to the similitude of God; 
59N 003:010 out of the same mouth doth come forth blessing and cursing;  it doth not need, my brethren, these things so to happen; 
59N 003:011 doth the fountain out of the same opening pour forth the  sweet and the bitter? 
59N 003:012 is a fig-tree able, my brethren, olives to make? or a vine  figs? so no fountain salt and sweet water [is able] to make. 
59N 003:013 Who [is] wise and intelligent among you? let him shew out  of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom, 
59N 003:014 and if bitter zeal ye have, and rivalry in your heart,  glory not, nor lie against the truth; 
59N 003:015 this wisdom is not descending from above, but earthly,  physical, demon-like, 
59N 003:016 for where zeal and rivalry [are], there is insurrection and  every evil matter; 
59N 003:017 and the wisdom from above, first, indeed, is pure, then  peaceable, gentle, easily entreated, full of kindness and good  fruits, uncontentious, and unhypocritical: -- 
59N 003:018 and the fruit of the righteousness in peace is sown to  those making peace. 
59N 004:001 Whence [are] wars and fightings among you? not thence -- out  of your passions, that are as soldiers in your members? 
59N 004:002 ye desire, and ye have not; ye murder, and are zealous, and  are not able to attain; ye fight and war, and ye have not,  because of your not asking; 
59N 004:003 ye ask, and ye receive not, because evilly ye ask, that in  your pleasures ye may spend [it]. 
59N 004:004 Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that  friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may  counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set. 
59N 004:005 Do ye think that emptily the Writing saith, `To envy  earnestly desireth the spirit that did dwell in us,' 
59N 004:006 and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God  against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He  doth give grace?' 
59N 004:007 be subject, then, to God; stand up against the devil, and he  will flee from you; 
59N 004:008 draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you; cleanse  hands, ye sinners! and purify hearts, ye two-souled! 
59N 004:009 be exceeding afflicted, and mourn, and weep, let your  laughter to mourning be turned, and the joy to heaviness; 
59N 004:010 be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you. 
59N 004:011 Speak not one against another, brethren; he who is speaking  against a brother, and is judging his brother, doth speak  against law, and doth judge law, and if law thou dost judge,  thou art not a doer of law but a judge; 
59N 004:012 one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy;  thou -- who art thou that dost judge the other? 
59N 004:013 Go, now, ye who are saying, `To-day and to-morrow we will  go on to such a city, and will pass there one year, and  traffic, and make gain;' 
59N 004:014 who do not know the thing of the morrow; for what is your  life? for it is a vapour that is appearing for a little, and  then is vanishing; 
59N 004:015 instead of your saying, `If the Lord may will, we shall  live, and do this or that;' 
59N 004:016 and now ye glory in your pride; all such glorying is evil; 
59N 004:017 to him, then, knowing to do good, and not doing, sin it is  to him. 
59N 005:001 Go, now, ye rich! weep, howling over your miseries that are  coming upon [you]; 
59N 005:002 your riches have rotted, and your garments have become  moth-eaten; 
59N 005:003 your gold and silver have rotted, and the rust of them for a  testimony shall be to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire.  Ye made treasure in the last days! 
59N 005:004 lo, the reward of the workmen, of those who in-gathered your  fields, which hath been fraudulently kept back by you -- doth  cry out, and the exclamations of those who did reap into the  ears of the Lord of Sabaoth have entered; 
59N 005:005 ye did live in luxury upon the earth, and were wanton; ye  did nourish your hearts, as in a day of slaughter; 
59N 005:006 ye did condemn -- ye did murder the righteous one, he doth  not resist you. 
59N 005:007 Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord;  lo, the husbandman doth expect the precious fruit of the  earth, being patient for it, till he may receive rain -- early  and latter; 
59N 005:008 be patient, ye also; establish your hearts, because the  presence of the Lord hath drawn nigh; 
59N 005:009 murmur not against one another, brethren, that ye may not be  condemned; lo, the Judge before the door hath stood. 
59N 005:010 An example take ye of the suffering of evil, my brethren,  and of the patience, the prophets who did speak in the name of  the Lord; 
59N 005:011 lo, we call happy those who are enduring; the endurance of  Job ye heard of, and the end of the Lord ye have seen, that  very compassionate is the Lord, and pitying. 
59N 005:012 And before all things, my brethren, do not swear, neither  by the heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath,  and let your Yes be Yes, and the No, No; that under judgment  ye may not fall. 
59N 005:013 Doth any one suffer evil among you? let him pray; is any of  good cheer? let him sing psalms; 
59N 005:014 is any infirm among you? let him call for the elders of the  assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with  oil, in the name of the Lord, 
59N 005:015 and the prayer of the faith shall save the distressed one,  and the Lord shall raise him up, and if sins he may have  committed, they shall be forgiven to him. 
59N 005:016 Be confessing to one another the trespasses, and be praying  for one another, that ye may be healed; very strong is a  working supplication of a righteous man; 
59N 005:017 Elijah was a man like affected as we, and with prayer he  did pray -- not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land  three years and six months; 
59N 005:018 and again he did pray, and the heaven did give rain, and  the land did bring forth her fruit. 
59N 005:019 Brethren, if any among you may go astray from the truth,  and any one may turn him back, 
59N 005:020 let him know that he who did turn back a sinner from the  straying of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall  cover a multitude of sins.  
60N 001:001 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the choice sojourners  of the dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and  Bithynia, 
60N 001:002 according to a foreknowledge of God the Father, in  sanctification of the Spirit, to obedience and sprinkling of  the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be  multiplied! 
60N 001:003 Blessed [is] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,  who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us  again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus  Christ out of the dead, 
60N 001:004 to an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and  unfading, reserved in the heavens for you, 
60N 001:005 who, in the power of God are being guarded, through faith,  unto salvation, ready to be revealed in the last time, 
60N 001:006 in which ye are glad, a little now, if it be necessary,  being made to sorrow in manifold trials, 
60N 001:007 that the proof of your faith -- much more precious than of  gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved -- may  be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation  of Jesus Christ, 
60N 001:008 whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and  believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified, 
60N 001:009 receiving the end of your faith -- salvation of souls; 
60N 001:010 concerning which salvation seek out and search out did  prophets who concerning the grace toward you did prophecy, 
60N 001:011 searching in regard to what or what manner of time the  Spirit of Christ that was in them was manifesting, testifying  beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory after these, 
60N 001:012 to whom it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to us  they were ministering these, which now were told to you  (through those who did proclaim good news to you,) in the Holy  Spirit sent from heaven, to which things messengers do desire  to bend looking. 
60N 001:013 Wherefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being  sober, hope perfectly upon the grace that is being brought to  you in the revelation of Jesus Christ, 
60N 001:014 as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves to the  former desires in your ignorance, 
60N 001:015 but according as He who did call you [is] holy, ye also,  become holy in all behaviour, 
60N 001:016 because it hath been written, `Become ye holy, because I am  holy;' 
60N 001:017 and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of  persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the  time of your sojourn pass ye, 
60N 001:018 having known that, not with corruptible things -- silver or  gold -- were ye redeemed from your foolish behaviour delivered  by fathers, 
60N 001:019 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and  unspotted -- Christ's -- 
60N 001:020 foreknown, indeed, before the foundation of the world, and  manifested in the last times because of you, 
60N 001:021 who through him do believe in God, who did raise out of the  dead, and glory to him did give, so that your faith and hope  may be in God. 
60N 001:022 Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth  through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure  heart one another love ye earnestly, 
60N 001:023 being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but  incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining --  to the age; 
60N 001:024 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as  flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell  away, 
60N 001:025 and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and  this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you. 
60N 002:001 Having put aside, then, all evil, and all guile, and  hypocrisies, and envyings, and all evil speakings, 
60N 002:002 as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it  ye may grow, 
60N 002:003 if so be ye did taste that the Lord [is] gracious, 
60N 002:004 to whom coming -- a living stone -- by men, indeed, having  been disapproved of, but with God choice, precious, 
60N 002:005 and ye yourselves, as living stones, are built up, a  spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual  sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 
60N 002:006 Wherefore, also, it is contained in the Writing: `Lo, I lay  in Zion a chief corner-stone, choice, precious, and he who is  believing on him may not be put to shame;' 
60N 002:007 to you, then, who are believing [is] the preciousness; and  to the unbelieving, a stone that the builders disapproved of,  this one did become for the head of a corner, 
60N 002:008 and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence -- who are  stumbling at the word, being unbelieving, -- to which also  they were set; 
60N 002:009 and ye [are] a choice race, a royal priesthood, a holy  nation, a people acquired, that the excellences ye may shew  forth of Him who out of darkness did call you to His wondrous  light; 
60N 002:010 who [were] once not a people, and [are] now the people of  God; who had not found kindness, and now have found kindness. 
60N 002:011 Beloved, I call upon [you], as strangers and sojourners, to  keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul, 
60N 002:012 having your behaviour among the nations right, that in that  which they speak against you as evil-doers, of the good works  having beheld, they may glorify God in a day of inspection. 
60N 002:013 Be subject, then, to every human creation, because of the  Lord, whether to a king, as the highest, 
60N 002:014 whether to governors, as to those sent through him, for  punishment, indeed, of evil-doers, and a praise of those doing  good; 
60N 002:015 because, so is the will of God, doing good, to put to  silence the ignorance of the foolish men; 
60N 002:016 as free, and not having the freedom as the cloak of the  evil, but as servants of God; 
60N 002:017 to all give ye honour; the brotherhood love ye; God fear  ye; the king honour ye. 
60N 002:018 The domestics! be subjecting yourselves in all fear to the  masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the  cross; 
60N 002:019 for this [is] gracious, if because of conscience toward God  any one doth endure sorrows, suffering unrighteously; 
60N 002:020 for what renown [is it], if sinning and being buffeted, ye  do endure [it]? but if, doing good and suffering [for it], ye  do endure, this [is] gracious with God, 
60N 002:021 for to this ye were called, because Christ also did suffer  for you, leaving to you an example, that ye may follow his  steps, 
60N 002:022 who did not commit sin, nor was guile found in his mouth, 
60N 002:023 who being reviled -- was not reviling again, suffering --  was not threatening, and was committing himself to Him who is  judging righteously, 
60N 002:024 who our sins himself did bear in his body, upon the tree,  that to the sins having died, to the righteousness we may  live; by whose stripes ye were healed, 
60N 002:025 for ye were as sheep going astray, but ye turned back now  to the shepherd and overseer of your souls. 
60N 003:001 In like manner, the wives, be ye subject to your own  husbands, that even if certain are disobedient to the word,  through the conversation of the wives, without the word, they  may be won, 
60N 003:002 having beheld your pure behaviour in fear, 
60N 003:003 whose adorning -- let it not be that which is outward, of  plaiting of hair, and of putting around of things of gold, or  of putting on of garments, 
60N 003:004 but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible  thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of  great price, 
60N 003:005 for thus once also the holy women who did hope on God, were  adorning themselves, being subject to their own husbands, 
60N 003:006 as Sarah was obedient to Abraham, calling him `sir,' of whom  ye did become daughters, doing good, and not fearing any  terror. 
60N 003:007 The husbands, in like manner, dwelling with [them],  according to knowledge, as to a weaker vessel -- to the wife  -- imparting honour, as also being heirs together of the grace  of life, that your prayers be not hindered. 
60N 003:008 And finally, being all of one mind, having fellow-feeling,  loving as brethren, compassionate, courteous, 
60N 003:009 not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and  on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were  called, that a blessing ye may inherit; 
60N 003:010 for `he who is willing to love life, and to see good days,  let him guard his tongue from evil, and his lips -- not to  speak guile; 
60N 003:011 let him turn aside from evil, and do good, let him seek  peace and pursue it; 
60N 003:012 because the eyes of the Lord [are] upon the righteous, and  His ears -- to their supplication, and the face of the Lord  [is] upon those doing evil;' 
60N 003:013 and who [is] he who will be doing you evil, if of Him who  is good ye may become imitators? 
60N 003:014 but if ye also should suffer because of righteousness,  happy [are ye]! and of their fear be not afraid, nor be  troubled, 
60N 003:015 and the Lord God sanctify in your hearts. And [be] ready  always for defence to every one who is asking of you an account  concerning the hope that [is] in you, with meekness and fear; 
60N 003:016 having a good conscience, that in that in which they speak  against you as evil-doers, they may be ashamed who are  traducing your good behaviour in Christ; 
60N 003:017 for [it is] better doing good, if the will of God will it,  to suffer, than doing evil; 
60N 003:018 because also Christ once for sin did suffer -- righteous  for unrighteous -- that he might lead us to God, having been  put to death indeed, in the flesh, and having been made alive  in the spirit, 
60N 003:019 in which also to the spirits in prison having gone he did  preach, 
60N 003:020 who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of  God did wait, in days of Noah -- an ark being preparing -- in  which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water; 
60N 003:021 also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not  a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a  good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of  Jesus Christ, 
60N 003:022 who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven  -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been  subjected to him. 
60N 004:001 Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, ye also  with the same mind arm yourselves, because he who did suffer in  the flesh hath done with sin, 
60N 004:002 no more in the desires of men, but in the will of God, to  live the rest of the time in the flesh; 
60N 004:003 for sufficient to us [is] the past time of life the will of  the nations to have wrought, having walked in  lasciviousnesses, desires, excesses of wines, revelings,  drinking-bouts, and unlawful idolatries, 
60N 004:004 in which they think it strange -- your not running with them  to the same excess of dissoluteness, speaking evil, 
60N 004:005 who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge  living and dead, 
60N 004:006 for for this also to dead men was good news proclaimed, that  they may be judged, indeed, according to men in the flesh, and  may live according to God in the spirit. 
60N 004:007 And of all things the end hath come nigh; be sober-minded,  then, and watch unto the prayers, 
60N 004:008 and, before all things, to one another having the earnest  love, because the love shall cover a multitude of sins; 
60N 004:009 hospitable to one another, without murmuring; 
60N 004:010 each, according as he received a gift, to one another  ministering it, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; 
60N 004:011 if any one doth speak -- `as oracles of God;' if any one  doth minister -- `as of the ability which God doth supply;'  that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ,  to whom is the glory and the power -- to the ages of the ages.  Amen. 
60N 004:012 Beloved, think it not strange at the fiery suffering among  you that is coming to try you, as if a strange thing were  happening to you, 
60N 004:013 but, according as ye have fellowship with the sufferings of  the Christ, rejoice ye, that also in the revelation of his  glory ye may rejoice -- exulting; 
60N 004:014 if ye be reproached in the name of Christ -- happy [are  ye], because the Spirit of glory and of God upon you doth  rest; in regard, indeed, to them, he is evil-spoken of, and in  regard to you, he is glorified; 
60N 004:015 for let none of you suffer as a murderer, or thief, or  evil-doer, or as an inspector into other men's matters; 
60N 004:016 and if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; and let him  glorify God in this respect; 
60N 004:017 because it is the time of the beginning of the judgment  from the house of God, and if first from us, what the end of  those disobedient to the good news of God? 
60N 004:018 And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, the ungodly and  sinner -- where shall he appear? 
60N 004:019 so that also those suffering according to the will of god,  as to a stedfast Creator, let them commit their own souls in  good doing. 
60N 005:001 Elders who [are] among you, I exhort, who [am] a  fellow-elder, and a witness of the sufferings of the Christ,  and of the glory about to be revealed a partaker, 
60N 005:002 feed the flock of God that [is] among you, overseeing not  constrainedly, but willingly, neither for filthy lucre, but of  a ready mind, 
60N 005:003 neither as exercising lordship over the heritages, but  patterns becoming of the flock, 
60N 005:004 and at the manifestation of the chief Shepherd, ye shall  receive the unfading crown of glory. 
60N 005:005 In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to  one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness  clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to  the humble He doth give grace; 
60N 005:006 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you  He may exalt in good time, 
60N 005:007 all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for  you. 
60N 005:008 Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a  roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up, 
60N 005:009 whom resist, stedfast in the faith, having known the same  sufferings to your brotherhood in the world to be  accomplished. 
60N 005:010 And the God of all grace, who did call you to His  age-during glory in Christ Jesus, having suffered a little,  Himself make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle  [you]; 
60N 005:011 to Him [is] the glory, and the power -- to the ages and the  ages! Amen. 
60N 005:012 Through Silvanus, to you the faithful brother, as I reckon,  through few [words] I did write, exhorting and testifying this  to be the true grace of God in which ye have stood. 
60N 005:013 Salute you doth the [assembly] in Babylon jointly elected,  and Markus my son. 
60N 005:014 Salute ye one another in a kiss of love; peace to you all  who [are] in Christ Jesus! Amen.  
61N 001:001 Simeon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to  those who did obtain a like precious faith with us in the  righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: 
61N 001:002 Grace to you, and peace be multiplied in the acknowledgement  of God and of Jesus our Lord! 
61N 001:003 As all things to us His divine power (the things pertaining  unto life and piety) hath given, through the acknowledgement  of him who did call us through glory and worthiness, 
61N 001:004 through which to us the most great and precious promises  have been given, that through these ye may become partakers of  a divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the  world in desires. 
61N 001:005 And this same also -- all diligence having brought in  besides, superadd in your faith the worthiness, and in the  worthiness the knowledge, 
61N 001:006 and in the knowledge the temperance, and in the temperance  the endurance, and in the endurance the piety, 
61N 001:007 and in the piety the brotherly kindness, and in the  brotherly kindness the love; 
61N 001:008 for these things being to you and abounding, do make [you]  neither inert nor unfruitful in regard to the acknowledging of  our Lord Jesus Christ, 
61N 001:009 for he with whom these things are not present is blind,  dim-sighted, having become forgetful of the cleansing of his  old sins; 
61N 001:010 wherefore, the rather, brethren, be diligent to make  stedfast your calling and choice, for these things doing, ye  may never stumble, 
61N 001:011 for so, richly shall be superadded to you the entrance into  the age-during reign of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 
61N 001:012 Wherefore, I will not be careless always to remind you  concerning these things, though, having known them, and having  been established in the present truth, 
61N 001:013 and I think right, so long as I am in this tabernacle, to  stir you up in reminding [you], 
61N 001:014 having known that soon is the laying aside of my  tabernacle, even as also our Lord Jesus Christ did shew to me, 
61N 001:015 and I will be diligent that also at every time ye have,  after my outgoing, power to make to yourselves the remembrance  of these things. 
61N 001:016 For, skilfully devised fables not having followed out, we  did make known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus  Christ, but eye-witnesses having become of his majesty -- 
61N 001:017 for having received from God the Father honour and glory,  such a voice being borne to him by the excellent glory: `This  is My Son -- the beloved, in whom I was well pleased;' 
61N 001:018 and this voice we -- we did hear, out of heaven borne,  being with him in the holy mount. 
61N 001:019 And we have more firm the prophetic word, to which we do  well giving heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till  day may dawn, and a morning star may arise -- in your hearts; 
61N 001:020 this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth  come of private exposition, 
61N 001:021 for not by will of man did ever prophecy come, but by the  Holy Spirit borne on holy men of God spake. 
61N 002:001 And there did come also false prophets among the people, as  also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall bring  in besides destructive sects, and the Master who bought them  denying, bringing to themselves quick destruction, 
61N 002:002 and many shall follow out their destructive ways, because of  whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of, 
61N 002:003 and in covetousness, with moulded words, of you they shall  make merchandise, whose judgment of old is not idle, and their  destruction doth not slumber. 
61N 002:004 For if God messengers who sinned did not spare, but with  chains of thick gloom, having cast [them] down to Tartarus, did  deliver [them] to judgment, having been reserved, 
61N 002:005 and the old world did not spare, but the eighth person,  Noah, of righteousness a preacher, did keep, a flood on the  world of the impious having brought, 
61N 002:006 and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah having turned to ashes,  with an overthrow did condemn, an example to those about to be  impious having set [them]; 
61N 002:007 and righteous Lot, worn down by the conduct in  lasciviousness of the impious, He did rescue, 
61N 002:008 for in seeing and hearing, the righteous man, dwelling among  them, day by day the righteous soul with unlawful works was  harassing. 
61N 002:009 The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation,  and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to  keep, 
61N 002:010 and chiefly those going behind the flesh in desire of  uncleanness, and lordship despising; presumptuous,  self-complacent, dignities they are not afraid to speak evil  of, 
61N 002:011 whereas messengers, in strength and power being greater, do  not bear against them before the Lord an evil speaking  judgment; 
61N 002:012 and these, as irrational natural beasts, made to be caught  and destroyed -- in what things they are ignorant of, speaking  evil -- in their destruction shall be destroyed, 
61N 002:013 about to receive a reward of unrighteousness, pleasures  counting the luxury in the day, spots and blemishes,  luxuriating in their deceits, feasting with you, 
61N 002:014 having eyes full of adultery, and unable to cease from sin,  enticing unstable souls, having an heart exercised in  covetousnesses, children of a curse, 
61N 002:015 having forsaken a right way, they did go astray, having  followed in the way of Balaam the [son] of Bosor, who a reward  of unrighteousness did love, 
61N 002:016 and had a rebuke of his own iniquity -- a dumb ass, in  man's voice having spoken, did forbid the madness of the  prophet. 
61N 002:017 These are wells without water, and clouds by a tempest  driven, to whom the thick gloom of the darkness to the age hath  been kept; 
61N 002:018 for overswellings of vanity speaking, they do entice in  desires of the flesh -- lasciviousnesses, those who had truly  escaped from those conducting themselves in error, 
61N 002:019 liberty to them promising, themselves being servants of the  corruption, for by whom any one hath been overcome, to this  one also he hath been brought to servitude, 
61N 002:020 for, if having escaped from the pollutions of the world, in  the acknowledging of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and by  these again being entangled, they have been overcome, become to  them hath the last things worse than the first, 
61N 002:021 for it were better to them not to have acknowledged the way  of the righteousness, than having acknowledged [it], to turn  back from the holy command delivered to them, 
61N 002:022 and happened to them hath that of the true similitude; `A  dog did turn back upon his own vomit,' and, `A sow having  bathed herself -- to rolling in mire.' 
61N 003:001 This, now, beloved, a second letter to you I write, in both  which I stir up your pure mind in reminding [you], 
61N 003:002 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy  prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord  and Saviour, 
61N 003:003 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end  of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on, 
61N 003:004 and saying, `Where is the promise of his presence? for since  the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the  beginning of the creation;' 
61N 003:005 for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens  were of old, and the earth out of water and through water  standing together by the word of God, 
61N 003:006 through which the then world, by water having been deluged,  was destroyed; 
61N 003:007 and the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are  treasured, for fire being kept to a day of judgment and  destruction of the impious men. 
61N 003:008 And this one thing let not be unobserved by you, beloved,  that one day with the Lord [is] as a thousand years, and a  thousand years as one day; 
61N 003:009 the Lord is not slow in regard to the promise, as certain  count slowness, but is long-suffering to us, not counselling  any to be lost but all to pass on to reformation, 
61N 003:010 and it will come -- the day of the Lord -- as a thief in  the night, in which the heavens with a rushing noise will pass  away, and the elements with burning heat be dissolved, and  earth and the works in it shall be burnt up. 
61N 003:011 All these, then, being dissolved, what kind of persons doth  it behove you to be in holy behaviours and pious acts? 
61N 003:012 waiting for and hasting to the presence of the day of God,  by which the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved, and  the elements with burning heat shall melt; 
61N 003:013 and for new heavens and a new earth according to His  promise we do wait, in which righteousness doth dwell; 
61N 003:014 wherefore, beloved, these things waiting for, be diligent,  spotless and unblameable, by Him to be found in peace, 
61N 003:015 and the long-suffering of our Lord count ye salvation,  according as also our beloved brother Paul -- according to the  wisdom given to him -- did write to you, 
61N 003:016 as also in all the epistles, speaking in them concerning  these things, among which things are certain hard to be  understood, which the untaught and unstable do wrest, as also  the other Writings, unto their own destruction. 
61N 003:017 Ye, then, beloved, knowing before, take heed, lest,  together with the error of the impious being led away, ye may  fall from your own stedfastness, 
61N 003:018 and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord  and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him [is] the glory both now, and  to the day of the age! Amen.  
62N 001:001 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard,  that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we did  behold, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of the  Life -- 
62N 001:002 and the Life was manifested, and we have seen, and do  testify, and declare to you the Life, the age-during, which was  with the Father, and was manifested to us -- 
62N 001:003 that which we have seen and heard declare we to you, that ye  also may have fellowship with us, and our fellowship [is] with  the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ; 
62N 001:004 and these things we write to you, that your joy may be full. 
62N 001:005 And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and  announce to you, that God is light, and darkness in Him is not  at all; 
62N 001:006 if we may say -- `we have fellowship with Him,' and in the  darkness may walk -- we lie, and do not the truth; 
62N 001:007 and if in the light we may walk, as He is in the light -- we  have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus  Christ His Son doth cleanse us from every sin; 
62N 001:008 if we may say -- `we have not sin,' ourselves we lead  astray, and the truth is not in us; 
62N 001:009 if we may confess our sins, stedfast He is and righteous  that He may forgive us the sins, and may cleanse us from every  unrighteousness; 
62N 001:010 if we may say -- `we have not sinned,' a liar we make Him,  and His word is not in us. 
62N 002:001 My little children, these things I write to you, that ye may  not sin: and if any one may sin, an advocate we have with the  Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one, 
62N 002:002 and he -- he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for  ours only, but also for the whole world, 
62N 002:003 and in this we know that we have known him, if his commands  we may keep; 
62N 002:004 he who is saying, `I have known him,' and his command is not  keeping, a liar he is, and in him the truth is not; 
62N 002:005 and whoever may keep his word, truly in him the love of God  hath been perfected; in this we know that in him we are. 
62N 002:006 He who is saying in him he doth remain, ought according as  he walked also himself so to walk. 
62N 002:007 Brethren, a new command I write not to you, but an old  command, that ye had from the beginning -- the old command is  the word that ye heard from the beginning; 
62N 002:008 again, a new command I write to you, which thing is true in  him and in you, because the darkness doth pass away, and the  true light doth now shine; 
62N 002:009 he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is  hating, in the darkness he is till now; 
62N 002:010 he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain,  and a stumbling-block in him there is not; 
62N 002:011 and he who is hating his brother, in the darkness he is,  and in the darkness he doth walk, and he hath not known  whither he doth go, because the darkness did blind his eyes. 
62N 002:012 I write to you, little children, because the sins have been  forgiven you through his name; 
62N 002:013 I write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who [is]  from the beginning; I write to you, young men, because ye have  overcome the evil. I write to you, little youths, because ye  have known the Father: 
62N 002:014 I did write to you, fathers, because ye have known him who  [is] from the beginning; I did write to you, young men,  because ye are strong, and the word of God in you doth remain,  and ye have overcome the evil. 
62N 002:015 Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any  one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him, 
62N 002:016 because all that [is] in the world -- the desire of the  flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the  life -- is not of the Father, but of the world, 
62N 002:017 and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he  who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age. 
62N 002:018 Little youths, it is the last hour; and even as ye heard  that the antichrist doth come, even now antichrists have become  many -- whence we know that it is the last hour; 
62N 002:019 out of us they went forth, but they were not of us, for if  they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but --  that they might be manifested that they are not all of us. 
62N 002:020 And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known  all things; 
62N 002:021 I did not write to you because ye have not known the truth,  but because ye have known it, and because no lie is of the  truth. 
62N 002:022 Who is the liar, except he who is denying that Jesus is the  Christ? this one is the antichrist who is denying the Father  and the Son; 
62N 002:023 every one who is denying the Son, neither hath he the  Father, [he who is confessing the Son hath the Father also.] 
62N 002:024 Ye, then, that which ye heard from the beginning, in you  let it remain; if in you may remain that which from the  beginning ye did hear, ye also in the Son and in the Father  shall remain, 
62N 002:025 and this is the promise that He did promise us -- the life  the age-during. 
62N 002:026 These things I did write to you concerning those leading  you astray; 
62N 002:027 and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you  it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach  you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all,  and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye  shall remain in him. 
62N 002:028 And now, little children, remain in him, that when he may  be manifested, we may have boldness, and may not be ashamed  before him, in his presence; 
62N 002:029 if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one  doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten. 
62N 003:001 See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children  of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not  know us, because it did not know Him; 
62N 003:002 beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet  manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may  be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him  as he is; 
62N 003:003 and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify  himself, even as he is pure. 
62N 003:004 Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth  do, and the sin is the lawlessness, 
62N 003:005 and ye have known that he was manifested that our sins he  may take away, and sin is not in him; 
62N 003:006 every one who is remaining in him doth not sin; every one  who is sinning, hath not seen him, nor known him. 
62N 003:007 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing  the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous, 
62N 003:008 he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from  the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God  manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil; 
62N 003:009 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not,  because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin,  because of God he hath been begotten. 
62N 003:010 In this manifest are the children of God, and the children  of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not  of God, and he who is not loving his brother, 
62N 003:011 because this is the message that ye did hear from the  beginning, that we may love one another, 
62N 003:012 not as Cain -- of the evil one he was, and he did slay his  brother, and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were  evil, and those of his brother righteous. 
62N 003:013 Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you; 
62N 003:014 we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to  the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving  the brother doth remain in the death. 
62N 003:015 Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is,  and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in  him remaining, 
62N 003:016 in this we have known the love, because he for us his life  did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay  down; 
62N 003:017 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view  his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him  -- how doth the love of God remain in him? 
62N 003:018 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue,  but in word and in truth! 
62N 003:019 and in this we know that of the truth we are, and before  Him we shall assure our hearts, 
62N 003:020 because if our heart may condemn -- because greater is God  than our heart, and He doth know all things. 
62N 003:021 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness  toward God, 
62N 003:022 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His  commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do, 
62N 003:023 and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of  His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He did  give command to us, 
62N 003:024 and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain,  and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us,  from the Spirit that He gave us. 
62N 004:001 Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if  of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth  to the world; 
62N 004:002 in this know ye the Spirit of God; every spirit that doth  confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is, 
62N 004:003 and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the  flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the  antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the  world it is already. 
62N 004:004 Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome  them; because greater is He who [is] in you, than he who is in  the world. 
62N 004:005 They -- of the world they are; because of this from the  world they speak, and the world doth hear them; 
62N 004:006 we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he  who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the  spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error. 
62N 004:007 Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of  God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been  begotten, and doth know God; 
62N 004:008 he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love. 
62N 004:009 In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His  Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that  we may live through him; 
62N 004:010 in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did  love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins. 
62N 004:011 Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another  to love; 
62N 004:012 God no one hath ever seen; if we may love one another, God  in us doth remain, and His love is having been perfected in  us; 
62N 004:013 in this we know that in Him we do remain, and He in us,  because of His Spirit He hath given us. 
62N 004:014 And we -- we have seen and do testify, that the Father hath  sent the Son -- Saviour of the world; 
62N 004:015 whoever may confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God in  him doth remain, and he in God; 
62N 004:016 and we -- we have known and believed the love, that God  hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love,  in God he doth remain, and God in him. 
62N 004:017 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that  boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even  as He is, we -- we also are in this world; 
62N 004:018 fear is not in the love, but the perfect love doth cast out  the fear, because the fear hath punishment, and he who is  fearing hath not been made perfect in the love; 
62N 004:019 we -- we love him, because He -- He first loved us; 
62N 004:020 if any one may say -- `I love God,' and his brother he may  hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom  he hath seen, God -- whom he hath not seen -- how is he able to  love? 
62N 004:021 and this [is] the command we have from Him, that he who is  loving God, may also love his brother. 
62N 005:001 Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God  he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did  beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him: 
62N 005:002 in this we know that we love the children of God, when we  may love God, and His commands may keep; 
62N 005:003 for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep,  and His commands are not burdensome; 
62N 005:004 because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the  world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world --  our faith; 
62N 005:005 who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is  believing that Jesus is the Son of God? 
62N 005:006 This one is he who did come through water and blood -- Jesus  the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the  blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the  Spirit is the truth, 
62N 005:007 because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the  Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these -- the three  -- are one; 
62N 005:008 and three are who are testifying in the earth], the Spirit,  and the water, and the blood, and the three are into the one. 
62N 005:009 If the testimony of men we receive, the testimony of God is  greater, because this is the testimony of God that He hath  testified concerning His Son. 
62N 005:010 He who is believing in the Son of God, hath the testimony  in himself; he who is not believing God, a liar hath made Him,  because he hath not believed in the testimony that God hath  testified concerning His Son; 
62N 005:011 and this is the testimony, that life age-during did God  give to us, and this -- the life -- is in His Son; 
62N 005:012 he who is having the Son, hath the life; he who is not  having the Son of God -- the life he hath not. 
62N 005:013 These things I did write to you who are believing in the  name of the Son of God, that ye may know that life ye have  age-during, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of  God. 
62N 005:014 And this is the boldness that we have toward Him, that if  anything we may ask according to his will, He doth hear us, 
62N 005:015 and if we have known that He doth hear us, whatever we may  ask, we have known that we have the requests that we have  requested from Him. 
62N 005:016 If any one may see his brother sinning a sin not unto  death, he shall ask, and He shall give to him life to those  sinning not unto death; there is sin to death, not concerning  it do I speak that he may beseech; 
62N 005:017 all unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto  death. 
62N 005:018 We have known that every one who hath been begotten of God  doth not sin, but he who was begotten of God doth keep  himself, and the evil one doth not touch him; 
62N 005:019 we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in  the evil doth lie; 
62N 005:020 and we have known that the Son of God is come, and hath  given us a mind, that we may know Him who is true, and we are  in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ; this one is the  true God and the life age-during! 
62N 005:021 Little children, guard yourselves from the idols! Amen.  
63N 001:001 The Elder to the choice Kyria, and to her children, whom I  love in truth, and not I only, but also all those having known  the truth, 
63N 001:002 because of the truth that is remaining in us, and with us  shall be to the age, 
63N 001:003 there shall be with you grace, kindness, peace, from God the  Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father,  in truth and love. 
63N 001:004 I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found of thy children  walking in truth, even as a command we did receive from the  Father; 
63N 001:005 and now I beseech thee, Kyria, not as writing to thee a new  command, but which we had from the beginning, that we may love  one another, 
63N 001:006 and this is the love, that we may walk according to His  commands; this is the command, even as ye did hear from the  beginning, that in it ye may walk, 
63N 001:007 because many leading astray did enter into the world, who  are not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh; this one is  he who is leading astray, and the antichrist. 
63N 001:008 See to yourselves that ye may not lose the things that we  wrought, but a full reward may receive; 
63N 001:009 every one who is transgressing, and is not remaining in the  teaching of the Christ, hath not God; he who is remaining in  the teaching of the Christ, this one hath both the Father and  the Son; 
63N 001:010 if any one doth come unto you, and this teaching doth not  bear, receive him not into the house, and say not to him,  `Hail!' 
63N 001:011 for he who is saying to him, `Hail,' hath fellowship with  his evil works. 
63N 001:012 Many things having to write to you, I did not intend  through paper and ink, but I hope to come unto you, and speak  mouth to mouth, that our joy may be full; 
63N 001:013 salute thee do the children of thy choice sister. Amen. 
64N 001:001 The Elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth! 
64N 001:002 beloved, concerning all things I desire thee to prosper, and  to be in health, even as thy soul doth prosper, 
64N 001:003 for I rejoiced exceedingly, brethren coming and testifying  of the truth in thee, even as thou in truth dost walk; 
64N 001:004 greater than these things I have no joy, that I may hear of  my children in truth walking. 
64N 001:005 Beloved, faithfully dost thou do whatever thou mayest work  to the brethren and to the strangers, 
64N 001:006 who did testify of thy love before an assembly, whom thou  wilt do well, having sent forward worthily of God, 
64N 001:007 because for [His] name they went forth, nothing receiving  from the nations; 
64N 001:008 we, then, ought to receive such, that fellow-workers we may  become to the truth. 
64N 001:009 I did write to the assembly, but he who is loving the first  place among them -- Diotrephes -- doth not receive us; 
64N 001:010 because of this, if I may come, I will cause him to  remember his works that he doth, with evil words prating  against us; and not content with these, neither doth he  himself receive the brethren, and those intending he doth   forbid, and out of the assembly he doth cast. 
64N 001:011 Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that  which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who  is doing evil hath not seen God; 
64N 001:012 to Demetrius testimony hath been given by all, and by the  truth itself, and we also -- we do testify, and ye have known  that our testimony is true. 
64N 001:013 Many things I had to write, but I do not wish through ink  and pen to write to thee, 
64N 001:014 and I hope straightway to see thee, and mouth to mouth we  shall speak. Peace to thee! salute thee do the friends; be  saluting the friends by name. 
65N 001:001 Judas, of Jesus Christ a servant, and brother of James, to  those sanctified in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ kept --  called, 
65N 001:002 kindness to you, and peace, and love, be multiplied! 
65N 001:003 Beloved, all diligence using to write to you concerning the  common salvation, I had necessity to write to you, exhorting to  agonize for the faith once delivered to the saints, 
65N 001:004 for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago  having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the  grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only  Master, God, and Lord -- Jesus Christ -- denying, 
65N 001:005 and to remind you I intend, you knowing once this, that the  Lord, a people out of the land of Egypt having saved, again  those who did not believe did destroy; 
65N 001:006 messengers also, those who did not keep their own  principality, but did leave their proper dwelling, to a  judgment of a great day, in bonds everlasting, under darkness  He hath kept, 
65N 001:007 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them, in like  manner to these, having given themselves to whoredom, and gone  after other flesh, have been set before -- an example, of fire  age-during, justice suffering. 
65N 001:008 In like manner, nevertheless, those dreaming also the flesh  indeed do defile, and lordship they put away, and dignities  they speak evil of, 
65N 001:009 yet Michael, the chief messenger, when, with the devil  contending, he was disputing about the body of Moses, did not  dare to bring up an evil-speaking judgment, but said, `The  Lord rebuke thee!' 
65N 001:010 and these, as many things indeed as they have not known,  they speak evil of; and as many things as naturally (as the  irrational beasts) they understand, in these they are  corrupted; 
65N 001:011 wo to them! because in the way of Cain they did go on, and  to the deceit of Balaam for reward they did rush, and in the  gainsaying of Korah they did perish. 
65N 001:012 These are in your love-feasts craggy rocks; feasting  together with you, without fear shepherding themselves; clouds  without water, by winds carried about; trees autumnal, without  fruit, twice dead, rooted up; 
65N 001:013 wild waves of a sea, foaming out their own shames; stars  going astray, to whom the gloom of the darkness to the age hath  been kept. 
65N 001:014 And prophesy also to these did the seventh from Adam --  Enoch -- saying, `Lo, the Lord did come in His saintly myriads, 
65N 001:015 to do judgment against all, and to convict all their  impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they  did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak  against Him did impious sinners.' 
65N 001:016 These are murmurers, repiners; according to their desires  walking, and their mouth doth speak great swellings, giving  admiration to persons for the sake of profit; 
65N 001:017 and ye, beloved, remember ye the sayings spoken before by  the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: 
65N 001:018 that they said to you, that in the last time there shall be  scoffers, after their own desires of impieties going on, 
65N 001:019 these are those setting themselves apart, natural men, the  Spirit not having. 
65N 001:020 And ye, beloved, on your most holy faith building  yourselves up, in the Holy Spirit praying, 
65N 001:021 yourselves in the love of God keep ye, waiting for the  kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ -- to life age-during; 
65N 001:022 and to some be kind, judging thoroughly, 
65N 001:023 and some in fear save ye, out of the fire snatching, hating  even the coat from the flesh spotted. 
65N 001:024 And to Him who is able to guard you not stumbling, and to  set [you] in the presence of His glory unblemished, in  gladness, 
65N 001:025 to the only wise God our Saviour, [is] glory and greatness,  power and authority, both now and to all the ages! Amen. 
66N 001:001 A revelation of Jesus Christ, that God gave to him, to shew  to his servants what things it behoveth to come to pass  quickly; and he did signify [it], having sent through his  messenger to his servant John, 
66N 001:002 who did testify the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus  Christ, as many things also as he did see. 
66N 001:003 Happy is he who is reading, and those hearing, the words of  the prophecy, and keeping the things written in it -- for the  time is nigh! 
66N 001:004 John to the seven assemblies that [are] in Asia: Grace to  you, and peace, from Him who is, and who was, and who is  coming, and from the Seven Spirits that are before His throne, 
66N 001:005 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first-born  out of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth; to  him who did love us, and did bathe us from our sins in his  blood, 
66N 001:006 and did make us kings and priests to his God and Father, to  him [is] the glory and the power to the ages of the ages! Amen. 
66N 001:007 Lo, he doth come with the clouds, and see him shall every  eye, even those who did pierce him, and wail because of him  shall all the tribes of the land. Yes! Amen! 
66N 001:008 `I am the Alpha and the Omega, beginning and end, saith the  Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming -- the Almighty.' 
66N 001:009 I, John, who also [am] your brother, and fellow-partner in  the tribulation, and in the reign and endurance, of Jesus  Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, because of the  word of God, and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ; 
66N 001:010 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's-day, and I heard behind  me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, 
66N 001:011 `I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last;'  and, `What thou dost see, write in a scroll, and send to the  seven assemblies that [are] in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna,  and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to  Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.' 
66N 001:012 And I did turn to see the voice that did speak with me, and  having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands, 
66N 001:013 and in the midst of the seven lamp-stands, [one] like to a  son of man, clothed to the foot, and girt round at the breast  with a golden girdle, 
66N 001:014 and his head and hairs white, as if white wool -- as snow,  and his eyes as a flame of fire; 
66N 001:015 and his feet like to fine brass, as in a furnace having  been fired, and his voice as a sound of many waters, 
66N 001:016 and having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his  mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and his  countenance [is] as the sun shining in its might. 
66N 001:017 And when I saw him, I did fall at his feet as dead, and he  placed his right hand upon me, saying to me, `Be not afraid; I  am the First and the Last, 
66N 001:018 and he who is living, and I did become dead, and, lo, I am  living to the ages of the ages. Amen! and I have the keys of  the hades and of the death. 
66N 001:019 `Write the things that thou hast seen, and the things that  are, and the things that are about to come after these things; 
66N 001:020 the secret of the seven stars that thou hast seen upon my  right hand, and the seven golden lamp-stands: the seven stars  are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven  lamp-stands that thou hast seen are seven assemblies. 
66N 002:001 `To the messenger of the Ephesian assembly write: These  things saith he who is holding the seven stars in his right  hand, who is walking in the midst of the seven lamp-stands --  the golden: 
66N 002:002 I have known thy works, and thy labour, and thy endurance,  and that thou art not able to bear evil ones, and that thou  hast tried those saying themselves to be apostles and are not,  and hast found them liars, 
66N 002:003 and thou didst bear, and hast endurance, and because of my  name hast toiled, and hast not been weary. 
66N 002:004 `But I have against thee: That thy first love thou didst  leave! 
66N 002:005 remember, then, whence thou hast fallen, and reform, and the  first works do; and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will  remove thy lamp-stand from its place -- if thou mayest not  reform; 
66N 002:006 but this thou hast, that thou dost hate the works of the  Nicolaitans, that I also hate. 
66N 002:007 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming -- I will  give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of  the paradise of God. 
66N 002:008 `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Smyrneans  write: These things saith the First and the Last, who did  become dead and did live; 
66N 002:009 I have known thy works, and tribulation, and poverty -- yet  thou art rich -- and the evil-speaking of those saying  themselves to be Jews, and are not, but [are] a synagogue of  the Adversary. 
66N 002:010 `Be not afraid of the things that thou art about to suffer;  lo, the devil is about to cast of you to prison, that ye may be  tried, and ye shall have tribulation ten days; become thou  faithful unto death, and I will give to thee the crown of the  life. 
66N 002:011 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies: He who is overcoming may not be  injured of the second death. 
66N 002:012 `And to the messenger of the assembly in Pergamos write:  These things saith he who is having the sharp two-edged sword: 
66N 002:013 I have known thy works, and where thou dost dwell -- where  the throne of the Adversary [is] -- and thou dost hold fast my  name, and thou didst not deny my faith, even in the days in  which Antipas [was] my faithful witness, who was put to death  beside you, where the Adversary doth dwell. 
66N 002:014 `But I have against thee a few things: That thou hast there  those holding the teaching of Balaam, who did teach Balak to  cast a stumbling-block before the sons of Israel, to eat  idol-sacrifices, and to commit whoredom; 
66N 002:015 so hast thou, even thou, those holding the teaching of the  Nicolaitans -- which thing I hate. 
66N 002:016 `Reform! and if not, I come to thee quickly, and will fight  against them with the sword of my mouth. 
66N 002:017 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give  to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a  white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one  knew except him who is receiving [it]. 
66N 002:018 `And to the messenger of the assembly of Thyatira write:  These things saith the Son of God, who is having his eyes as a  flame of fire, and his feet like to fine brass; 
66N 002:019 I have known thy works, and love, and ministration, and  faith, and thy endurance, and thy works -- and the last [are]  more than the first. 
66N 002:020 `But I have against thee a few things: That thou dost  suffer the woman Jezebel, who is calling herself a prophetess,  to teach, and to lead astray, my servants to commit whoredom,  and idol-sacrifices to eat; 
66N 002:021 and I did give to her a time that she might reform from her  whoredom, and she did not reform; 
66N 002:022 lo, I will cast her into a couch, and those committing  adultery with her into great tribulation -- if they may not  repent of their works, 
66N 002:023 and her children I will kill in death, and know shall all  the assemblies that I am he who is searching reins and hearts;  and I will give to you -- to each -- according to your works. 
66N 002:024 `And to you I say, and to the rest who are in Thyatira, as  many as have not this teaching, and who did not know the depths  of the Adversary, as they say; I will not put upon you other  burden; 
66N 002:025 but that which ye have -- hold ye, till I may come; 
66N 002:026 and he who is overcoming, and who is keeping unto the end  my works, I will give to him authority over the nations, 
66N 002:027 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron -- as the vessels  of the potter they shall be broken -- as I also have received  from my Father; 
66N 002:028 and I will give to him the morning star. 
66N 002:029 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies. 
66N 003:001 And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis write: These  things saith he who is having the Seven Spirits of God, and the  seven stars: I have known thy works, and that thou hast the  name that thou dost live, and thou art dead; 
66N 003:002 become watching, and strengthen the rest of the things that  are about to die, for I have not found thy works fulfilled  before God. 
66N 003:003 `Remember, then, how thou hast received, and heard, and be  keeping, and reform: if, then, thou mayest not watch, I will  come upon thee as a thief, and thou mayest not know what hour I  will come upon thee. 
66N 003:004 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did not defile  their garments, and they shall walk with me in white, because  they are worthy. 
66N 003:005 He who is overcoming -- this one -- shall be arrayed in  white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the  scroll of the life, and I will confess his name before my  Father, and before His messengers. 
66N 003:006 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies. 
66N 003:007 `And to the messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write:  These things saith he who is holy, he who is true, he who is  having the key of David, he who is opening and no one doth  shut, and he shutteth and no one doth open! 
66N 003:008 I have known thy works; lo, I have set before thee a door --  opened, and no one is able to shut it, because thou hast a  little power, and didst keep my word, and didst not deny my  name; 
66N 003:009 lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary those saying  themselves to be Jews, and are not, but do lie; lo, I will make  them that they may come and bow before thy feet, and may know  that I loved thee. 
66N 003:010 `Because thou didst keep the word of my endurance, I also  will keep thee from the hour of the trial that is about to come  upon all the world, to try those dwelling upon the earth. 
66N 003:011 Lo, I come quickly, be holding fast that which thou hast,  that no one may receive thy crown. 
66N 003:012 He who is overcoming -- I will make him a pillar in the  sanctuary of my God, and without he may not go any more, and I  will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the  city of my God, the new Jerusalem, that doth come down out of  the heaven from my God -- also my new name. 
66N 003:013 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies. 
66N 003:014 `And to the messenger of the assembly of the Laodiceans  write: These things saith the Amen, the witness -- the faithful  and true -- the chief of the creation of God; 
66N 003:015 I have known thy works, that neither cold art thou nor hot;  I would thou wert cold or hot. 
66N 003:016 So -- because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,  I am about to vomit thee out of my mouth; 
66N 003:017 because thou sayest -- I am rich, and have grown rich, and  have need of nothing, and hast not known that thou art the  wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked, 
66N 003:018 I counsel thee to buy from me gold fired by fire, that thou  mayest be rich, and white garments that thou mayest be arrayed,  and the shame of thy nakedness may not be manifest, and with  eye-salve anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. 
66N 003:019 `As many as I love, I do convict and chasten; be zealous,  then, and reform; 
66N 003:020 lo, I have stood at the door, and I knock; if any one may  hear my voice, and may open the door, I will come in unto him,  and will sup with him, and he with me. 
66N 003:021 He who is overcoming -- I will give to him to sit with me  in my throne, as I also did overcome and did sit down with my  Father in His throne. 
66N 003:022 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what the Spirit  saith to the assemblies.' 
66N 004:001 After these things I saw, and lo, a door opened in the  heaven, and the first voice that I heard [is] as of a trumpet  speaking with me, saying, `Come up hither, and I will shew thee  what it behoveth to come to pass after these things;' 
66N 004:002 and immediately I was in the Spirit, and lo, a throne was  set in the heaven, and upon the throne is [one] sitting, 
66N 004:003 and He who is sitting was in sight like a stone, jasper and  sardine: and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like an  emerald. 
66N 004:004 And around the throne [are] thrones twenty and four, and  upon the thrones I saw the twenty and four elders sitting,  clothed in white garments, and they had upon their heads crowns  of gold; 
66N 004:005 and out of the throne proceed do lightnings, and thunders,  and voices; and seven lamps of fire are burning before the  throne, which are the Seven Spirits of God, 
66N 004:006 and before the throne [is] a sea of glass like to crystal,  and in the midst of the throne, and round the throne, [are]  four living creatures, full of eyes before and behind; 
66N 004:007 and the first living creature [is] like a lion, and the  second living creature [is] like a calf, and the third living  creature hath the face as a man, and the fourth living creature  [is] like an eagle flying. 
66N 004:008 And the four living creatures, each by itself severally, had  six wings, around and within [are] full of eyes, and rest they  have not day and night, saying, `Holy, holy, holy, Lord God  Almighty, who was, and who is, and who is coming;' 
66N 004:009 and when the living creatures do give glory, and honour, and  thanks, to Him who is sitting upon the throne, who is living to  the ages of the ages, 
66N 004:010 fall down do the twenty and four elders before Him who is  sitting upon the throne, and bow before Him who is living to  the ages of the ages, and they cast their crowns before the  throne, saying, 
66N 004:011 `Worthy art Thou, O Lord, to receive the glory, and the  honour, and the power, because Thou -- Thou didst create the  all things, and because of Thy will are they, and they were  created.' 
66N 005:001 And I saw upon the right hand of Him who is sitting upon the  throne a scroll, written within and on the back, sealed with  seven seals; 
66N 005:002 and I saw a strong messenger crying with a great voice, `Who  is worthy to open the scroll and to loose the seals of it?' 
66N 005:003 and no one was able in the heaven, nor upon the earth, nor  under the earth, to open the scroll, nor to behold it. 
66N 005:004 And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to  open and to read the scroll, nor to behold it, 
66N 005:005 and one of the elders saith to me, `Weep not; lo, overcome  did the Lion, who is of the tribe of Judah, the root of David,  to open the scroll, and to loose the seven seals of it; 
66N 005:006 and I saw, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the  four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb  hath stood as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven  eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God, which are sent to all  the earth, 
66N 005:007 and he came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him  who is sitting upon the throne. 
66N 005:008 And when he took the scroll, the four living creatures and  the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, having each one  harps and golden vials full of perfumes, which are the prayers  of the saints, 
66N 005:009 and they sing a new song, saying, `Worthy art thou to take  the scroll, and to open the seals of it, because thou wast  slain, and didst redeem us to God in thy blood, out of every  tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, 
66N 005:010 and didst make us to our God kings and priests, and we  shall reign upon the earth.' 
66N 005:011 And I saw, and I heard the voice of many messengers round  the throne, and the living creatures, and the elders -- and the  number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of  thousands -- 
66N 005:012 saying with a great voice, `Worthy is the Lamb that was  slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and  strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing!' 
66N 005:013 and every creature that is in the heaven, and in the earth,  and under the earth, and the things that are upon the sea, and  the all things in them, heard I saying, `To Him who is sitting  upon the throne, and to the Lamb, [is] the blessing, and the  honour, and the glory, and the might -- to the ages of the  ages!' 
66N 005:014 and the four living creatures said, `Amen!' and the  twenty-four elders fell down and they bow before Him who is  living to the ages of the ages. 
66N 006:001 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard  one of the four living creatures saying, as it were a voice of  thunder, `Come and behold!' 
66N 006:002 and I saw, and lo, a white horse, and he who is sitting upon  it is having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he  went forth overcoming, and that he may overcome. 
66N 006:003 And when he opened the second seal, I heard the second  living creature saying, `Come and behold!' 
66N 006:004 and there went forth another horse -- red, and to him who is  sitting upon it, there was given to him to take the peace from  the land, and that one another they may slay, and there was  given to him a great sword. 
66N 006:005 And when he opened the third seal, I heard the third living  creature saying, `Come and behold!' and I saw, and lo, a black  horse, and he who is sitting upon it is having a balance in his  hand, 
66N 006:006 and I heard a voice in the midst of the four living  creatures saying, `A measure of wheat for a denary, and three  measures of barley for a denary,' and `The oil and the wine  thou mayest not injure.' 
66N 006:007 And when he opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the  fourth living creature saying, `Come and behold!' 
66N 006:008 and I saw, and lo, a pale horse, and he who is sitting upon  him -- his name is Death, and Hades doth follow with him, and  there was given to them authority to kill, (over the fourth  part of the land,) with sword, and with hunger, and with death,  and by the beasts of the land. 
66N 006:009 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the  souls of those slain because of the word of God, and because  of the testimony that they held, 
66N 006:010 and they were crying with a great voice, saying, `Till  when, O Master, the Holy and the True, dost Thou not judge and  take vengeance of our blood from those dwelling upon the land?' 
66N 006:011 and there was given to each one white robes, and it was  said to them that they may rest themselves yet a little time,  till may be fulfilled also their fellow-servants and their  brethren, who are about to be killed -- even as they. 
66N 006:012 And I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and lo, a great  earthquake came, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair,  and the moon became as blood, 
66N 006:013 and the stars of the heaven fell to the earth -- as a  fig-tree doth cast her winter figs, by a great wind being  shaken -- 
66N 006:014 and heaven departed as a scroll rolled up, and every  mountain and island -- out of their places they were moved; 
66N 006:015 and the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the  rich, and the chiefs of thousands, and the mighty, and every  servant, and every freeman, hid themselves in the dens, and in  the rocks of the mountains, 
66N 006:016 and they say to the mountains and to the rocks, `Fall upon  us, and hide us from the face of Him who is sitting upon the  throne, and from the anger of the Lamb,' 
66N 006:017 because come did the great day of His anger, and who is  able to stand? 
66N 007:001 And after these things I saw four messengers, standing upon  the four corners of the land, holding the four winds of the  land, that the wind may not blow upon the land, nor upon the  sea, nor upon any tree; 
66N 007:002 and I saw another messenger going up from the rising of the  sun, having a seal of the living God, and he did cry with a  great voice to the four messengers, to whom it was given to  injure the land and the sea, saying, 
66N 007:003 `Do not injure the land, nor the sea, nor the trees, till we  may seal the servants of our God upon their foreheads.' 
66N 007:004 And I heard the number of those sealed, (144 thousands were  sealed out of all the tribes of the sons of Israel): 
66N 007:005 of the tribe of Judah 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe  of Reuben 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Gad 12  thousand were sealed; 
66N 007:006 of the tribe of Asher 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe  of Naphtali 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Manasseh  12 thousand were sealed; 
66N 007:007 of the tribe of Simeon 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe  of Levi 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of Issachar 12  thousand were sealed; 
66N 007:008 of the tribe of Zebulun 12 thousand were sealed; of the  tribe of Joseph 12 thousand were sealed; of the tribe of  Benjamin 12 thousand were sealed. 
66N 007:009 After these things I saw, and lo, a great multitude, which  to number no one was able, out of all nations, and tribes, and  peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and before  the Lamb, arrayed in white robes, and palms in their hands, 
66N 007:010 and crying with a great voice, saying, `The salvation [is]  to Him who is sitting upon the throne -- to our God, and to the  Lamb!' 
66N 007:011 And all the messengers stood around the throne, and the  elders and the four living creatures, and they fell upon their  face, and bowed before God, 
66N 007:012 saying, `Amen! the blessing, and the glory, and the wisdom,  and the thanksgiving, and the honour, and the power, and the  strength, [are] to our God -- to the ages of the ages! Amen!' 
66N 007:013 And answer did one of the elders, saying to me, `These, who  have been arrayed with the white robes -- who are they, and  whence came they?' 
66N 007:014 and I have said to him, `Sir, thou hast known;' and he said  to me, `These are those who are coming out of the great  tribulation, and they did wash their robes, and they made their  robes white in the blood of the Lamb; 
66N 007:015 because of this are they before the throne of God, and they  do service to Him day and night in His sanctuary, and He who is  sitting upon the throne shall tabernacle over them; 
66N 007:016 they shall not hunger any more, nor may the sun fall upon  them, nor any heat, 
66N 007:017 because the Lamb that [is] in the midst of the throne shall  feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters,  and wipe away shall God every tear from their eyes.' 
66N 008:001 And when he openeth the seventh seal, there came silence in  the heaven about half-an-hour, 
66N 008:002 and I saw the seven messengers who before God have stood,  and there were given to them seven trumpets, 
66N 008:003 and another messenger did come, and he stood at the altar,  having a golden censer, and there was given to him much  perfume, that he may give [it] to the prayers of all the saints  upon the golden altar that [is] before the throne, 
66N 008:004 and go up did the smoke of the perfumes to the prayers of  the saints out of the hand of the messenger, before God; 
66N 008:005 and the messenger took the censer, and did fill it out of  the fire of the altar, and did cast [it] to the earth, and  there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings, and an  earthquake. 
66N 008:006 And the seven messengers who are having the seven trumpets  did prepare themselves that they may sound; 
66N 008:007 and the first messenger did sound, and there came hail and  fire, mingled with blood, and it was cast to the land, and the  third of the trees was burnt up, and all the green grass was  burnt up. 
66N 008:008 And the second messenger did sound, and as it were a great  mountain with fire burning was cast into the sea, and the third  of the sea became blood, 
66N 008:009 and die did the third of the creatures that [are] in the  sea, those having life, and the third of the ships were  destroyed. 
66N 008:010 And the third messenger did sound, and there fell out of  the heaven a great star, burning as a lamp, and it did fall  upon the third of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters, 
66N 008:011 and the name of the star is called Wormwood, and the third  of the waters doth become wormwood, and many of the men did die  of the waters, because they were made bitter. 
66N 008:012 And the fourth messenger did sound, and smitten was the  third of the sun, and the third of the moon, and the third of  the stars, that darkened may be the third of them, and that the  day may not shine -- the third of it, and the night in like  manner. 
66N 008:013 And I saw, and I heard one messenger, flying in the  mid-heaven, saying with a great voice, `Wo, wo, wo, to those  dwelling upon the land from the rest of the voices of the  trumpet of the three messengers who are about to sound.' 
66N 009:001 And the fifth messenger did sound, and I saw a star out of  the heaven having fallen to the earth, and there was given to  it the key of the pit of the abyss, 
66N 009:002 and he did open the pit of the abyss, and there came up a  smoke out of the pit as smoke of a great furnace, and darkened  was the sun and the air, from the smoke of the pit. 
66N 009:003 And out of the smoke came forth locusts to the earth, and  there was given to them authority, as scorpions of the earth  have authority, 
66N 009:004 and it was said to them that they may not injure the grass  of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but -- the men  only who have not the seal of God upon their foreheads, 
66N 009:005 and it was given to them that they may not kill them, but  that they may be tormented five months, and their torment [is]  as the torment of a scorpion, when it may strike a man; 
66N 009:006 and in those days shall men seek the death, and they shall  not find it, and they shall desire to die, and the death shall  flee from them. 
66N 009:007 And the likenesses of the locusts [are] like to horses made  ready to battle, and upon their heads as crowns like gold, and  their faces as faces of men, 
66N 009:008 and they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as  [those] of lions, 
66N 009:009 and they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the  noise of their wings [is] as the noise of chariots of many  horses running to battle; 
66N 009:010 and they have tails like to scorpions, and stings were in  their tails; and their authority [is] to injure men five  months; 
66N 009:011 and they have over them a king -- the messenger of the  abyss -- a name [is] to him in Hebrew, Abaddon, and in the  Greek he hath a name, Apollyon. 
66N 009:012 The first wo did go forth, lo, there come yet two woes  after these things. 
66N 009:013 And the sixth messenger did sound, and I heard a voice out  of the four horns of the altar of gold that is before God, 
66N 009:014 saying to the sixth messenger who had the trumpet, `Loose  the four messengers who are bound at the great river  Euphrates;' 
66N 009:015 and loosed were the four messengers, who have been made  ready for the hour, and day, and month, and year, that they may  kill the third of men; 
66N 009:016 and the number of the forces of the horsemen [is] two  myriads of myriads, and I heard the number of them. 
66N 009:017 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting  upon them, having breastplates of fire, and jacinth, and  brimstone; and the heads of the horses [are] as heads of lions,  and out of their mouths proceedeth fire, and smoke, and  brimstone; 
66N 009:018 by these three were the third of men killed, from the fire,  and from the smoke, and from the brimstone, that is proceeding  out of their mouth, 
66N 009:019 for their authorities are in their mouth, and in their  tails, for their tails [are] like serpents, having heads, and  with them they do injure; 
66N 009:020 and the rest of men, who were not killed in these plagues,  neither did reform from the works of their hands, that they may  not bow before the demons, and idols, those of gold, and those  of silver, and those of brass, and those of stone, and those of  wood, that are neither able to see, nor to hear, nor to walk, 
66N 009:021 yea they did not reform from their murders, nor from their  sorceries, nor from their whoredoms, nor from their thefts. 
66N 010:001 And I saw another strong messenger coming down out of the  heaven, arrayed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon the head, and  his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire, 
66N 010:002 and he had in his hand a little scroll opened, and he did  place his right foot upon the sea, and the left upon the land, 
66N 010:003 and he cried with a great voice, as a lion doth roar, and  when he cried, speak out did the seven thunders their voices; 
66N 010:004 and when the seven thunders spake their voices, I was about  to write, and I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me,  `Seal the things that the seven thunders spake,' and, `Thou  mayest not write these things.' 
66N 010:005 And the messenger whom I saw standing upon the sea, and  upon the land, did lift up his hand to the heaven, 
66N 010:006 and did swear in Him who doth live to the ages of the ages,  who did create the heaven and the things in it, and the land  and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it -- that  time shall not be yet, 
66N 010:007 but in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, when  he may be about to sound, and the secret of God may be  finished, as He did declare to His own servants, to the  prophets. 
66N 010:008 And the voice that I heard out of the heaven is again  speaking with me, and saying, `Go, take the little scroll that  is open in the hand of the messenger who hath been standing  upon the sea, and upon the land:' 
66N 010:009 and I went away unto the messenger, saying to him, `Give me  the little scroll;' and he saith to me, `Take, and eat it up,  and it shall make thy belly bitter, but in thy mouth it shall  be sweet -- as honey.' 
66N 010:010 And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the  messenger, and did eat it up, and it was in my mouth as honey  -- sweet, and when I did eat it -- my belly was made bitter; 
66N 010:011 and he saith to me, `It behoveth thee again to prophesy  about peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings -- many.' 
66N 011:001 And there was given to me a reed like to a rod, and the  messenger stood, saying, `Rise, and measure the sanctuary of  God, and the altar, and those worshipping in it; 
66N 011:002 and the court that is without the sanctuary leave out, and  thou mayest not measure it, because it was given to the  nations, and the holy city they shall tread down forty-two  months; 
66N 011:003 and I will give to My two witnesses, and they shall  prophesy days, a thousand, two hundred, sixty, arrayed with  sackcloth; 
66N 011:004 these are the two olive [trees], and the two lamp-stands  that before the God of the earth do stand; 
66N 011:005 and if any one may will to injure them, fire doth proceed  out of their mouth, and doth devour their enemies, and if any  one may will to injure them, thus it behoveth him to be killed. 
66N 011:006 These have authority to shut the heaven, that it may not  rain rain in the days of their prophecy, and authority they  have over the waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the  land with every plague, as often as they may will. 
66N 011:007 `And when they may finish their testimony, the beast that  is coming up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and  overcome them, and kill them, 
66N 011:008 and their dead bodies [are] upon the broad-place of the  great city (that is called spiritually Sodom, and Egypt, where  also our Lord was crucified,) 
66N 011:009 and they shall behold -- they of the peoples, and tribes,  and tongues, and nations -- their dead bodies three days and a  half, and their dead bodies they shall not suffer to be put  into tombs, 
66N 011:010 and those dwelling upon the land shall rejoice over them,  and shall make merry, and gifts they shall send to one another,  because these -- the two prophets -- did torment those dwelling  upon the land.' 
66N 011:011 And after the three days and a half, a spirit of life from  God did enter into them, and they stood upon their feet, and  great fear fell upon those beholding them, 
66N 011:012 and they heard a great voice out of the heaven saying to  them, `Come up hither;' and they went up to the heaven in the  cloud, and their enemies beheld them; 
66N 011:013 and in that hour came a great earthquake, and the tenth of  the city did fall, and killed in the earthquake were names of  men -- seven thousands, and the rest became affrighted, and  they gave glory to the God of the heaven. 
66N 011:014 The second wo did go forth, lo, the third wo doth come  quickly. 
66N 011:015 And the seventh messenger did sound, and there came great  voices in the heaven, saying, `The kingdoms of the world did  become [those] of our Lord and of His Christ, and he shall  reign to the ages of the ages!' 
66N 011:016 and the twenty and four elders, who before God are sitting  upon their thrones, did fall upon their faces, and did bow  before God, 
66N 011:017 saying, `We give thanks to Thee, O Lord God, the Almighty,  who art, and who wast, and who art coming, because Thou hast  taken Thy great power and didst reign; 
66N 011:018 and the nations were angry, and Thine anger did come, and  the time of the dead, to be judged, and to give the reward to  Thy servants, to the prophets, and to the saints, and to those  fearing Thy name, to the small and to the great, and to  destroy those who are destroying the land.' 
66N 011:019 And opened was the sanctuary of God in the heaven, and  there was seen the ark of His covenant in His sanctuary, and  there did come lightnings, and voices, and thunders, and an  earthquake, and great hail. 
66N 012:001 And a great sign was seen in the heaven, a woman arrayed  with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a  crown of twelve stars, 
66N 012:002 and being with child she doth cry out, travailing and  pained to bring forth. 
66N 012:003 And there was seen another sign in the heaven, and, lo, a  great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon  his head seven diadems, 
66N 012:004 and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the  heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did  stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when  she may bring forth, her child he may devour; 
66N 012:005 and she brought forth a male child, who is about to rule  all the nations with a rod of iron, and caught away was her  child unto God and His throne, 
66N 012:006 and the woman did flee to the wilderness, where she hath a  place made ready from God, that there they may nourish her --  days a thousand, two hundred, sixty. 
66N 012:007 And there came war in the heaven; Michael and his  messengers did war against the dragon, and the dragon did war,  and his messengers, 
66N 012:008 and they did not prevail, nor was their place found any  more in the heaven; 
66N 012:009 and the great dragon was cast forth -- the old serpent, who  is called `Devil,' and `the Adversary,' who is leading astray  the whole world -- he was cast forth to the earth, and his  messengers were cast forth with him. 
66N 012:010 And I heard a great voice saying in the heaven, `Now did  come the salvation, and the power, and the reign, of our God,  and the authority of His Christ, because cast down was the  accuser of our brethren, who is accusing them before our God  day and night; 
66N 012:011 and they did overcome him because of the blood of the  Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony, and they did  not love their life -- unto death; 
66N 012:012 because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who  do tabernacle; wo to those inhabiting the land and the sea,  because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath,  having known that he hath little time.' 
66N 012:013 And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the  earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male, 
66N 012:014 and there were given to the woman two wings of the great  eagle, that she may fly to the wilderness, to her place, where  she is nourished a time, and times, and half a time, from the  face of the serpent; 
66N 012:015 and the serpent did cast forth after the woman, out of his  mouth, water as a river, that he may cause her to be carried  away by the river, 
66N 012:016 and the land did help the woman, and the land did open its  mouth and did swallow up the river, that the dragon did cast  forth out of his mouth; 
66N 012:017 and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away  to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the  commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ. 
66N 013:001 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and I saw out of the  sea a beast coming up, having seven heads and ten horns, and  upon its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads a name of evil  speaking, 
66N 013:002 and the beast that I saw was like to a leopard, and its  feet as of a bear, and its mouth as the mouth of a lion, and  the dragon did give to it his power, and his throne, and great  authority. 
66N 013:003 And I saw one of its heads as slain to death, and its  deadly stroke was healed, and all the earth did wonder after  the beast, 
66N 013:004 and they did bow before the dragon who did give authority  to the beast, and they did bow before the beast, saying, `Who  [is] like to the beast? who is able to war with it?' 
66N 013:005 And there was given to it a mouth speaking great things,  and evil-speakings, and there was given to it authority to  make war forty-two months, 
66N 013:006 and it did open its mouth for evil-speaking toward God, to  speak evil of His name, and of His tabernacle, and of those who  in the heaven tabernacle, 
66N 013:007 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 tongue, and nation. 
66N 013:008 And bow before it shall all who are dwelling upon the land,  whose names have not been written in the scroll of the life of  the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world; 
66N 013:009 if any one hath an ear -- let him hear: 
66N 013:010 if any one a captivity doth gather, into captivity he doth  go away; if any one by sword doth kill, it behoveth him by  sword to be killed; here is the endurance and the faith of the  saints. 
66N 013:011 And I saw another beast coming up out of the land, and it  had two horns, like a lamb, and it was speaking as a dragon, 
66N 013:012 and all the authority of the first beast doth it do before  it, and it maketh the land and those dwelling in it that they  shall bow before the first beast, whose deadly stroke was  healed, 
66N 013:013 and it doth great signs, that fire also it may make to  come down from the heaven to the earth before men, 
66N 013:014 and it leadeth astray those dwelling on the land, because  of the signs that were given it to do before the beast, saying  to those dwelling upon the land to make an image to the beast  that hath the stroke of the sword and did live, 
66N 013:015 and there was given to it to give a spirit to the image of  the beast, that also the image of the beast may speak, and  [that] it may cause as many as shall not bow before the image  of the beast, that they may be killed. 
66N 013:016 And it maketh all, the small, and the great, and the rich,  and the poor, and the freemen, and the servants, that it may  give to them a mark upon their right hand or upon their  foreheads, 
66N 013:017 and that no one may be able to buy, or to sell, except he  who is having the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number  of his name. 
66N 013:018 Here is the wisdom! He who is having the understanding,  let him count the number of the beast, for the number of a man  it is, and its number [is] 666. 
66N 014:001 And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion,  and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name  of his Father written upon their foreheads; 
66N 014:002 and I heard a voice out of the heaven, as a voice of many  waters, and as a voice of great thunder, and a voice I heard of  harpers harping with their harps, 
66N 014:003 and they sing, as it were, a new song before the throne,  and before the four living creatures, and the elders, and no  one was able to learn the song except the hundred forty-four  thousands, who have been bought from the earth; 
66N 014:004 these are they who with women were not defiled, for they  are virgin; these are they who are following the Lamb  whithersoever he may go; these were bought from among men -- a  first-fruit to God and to the Lamb -- 
66N 014:005 and in their mouth there was not found guile, for  unblemished are they before the throne of God. 
66N 014:006 And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, having  good news age-during to proclaim to those dwelling upon the  earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people, 
66N 014:007 saying in a great voice, `Fear ye God, and give to Him  glory, because come did the hour of His judgment, and bow ye  before Him who did make the heaven, and the land, and sea, and  fountains of waters.' 
66N 014:008 And another messenger did follow, saying, `Fall, fall, did  Babylon, the great city, because of the wine of the wrath of  her whoredom she hath given to all nations to drink.' 
66N 014:009 And a third messenger did follow them, saying in a great  voice, `If any one the beast doth bow before, and his image,  and doth receive a mark upon his forehead, or upon his hand, 
66N 014:010 he also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, that  hath been mingled unmixed in the cup of His anger, and he shall  be tormented in fire and brimstone before the holy messengers,  and before the Lamb, 
66N 014:011 and the smoke of their torment doth go up to ages of ages;  and they have no rest day and night, who are bowing before the  beast and his image, also if any doth receive the mark of his  name. 
66N 014:012 Here is endurance of the saints: here [are] those keeping  the commands of God, and the faith of Jesus.' 
66N 014:013 And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me,  `Write: Happy are the dead who in the Lord are dying from this  time!' `Yes, (saith the Spirit,) That they may rest from their  labours -- and their works do follow them!' 
66N 014:014 And I saw, and lo, a white cloud, and upon the cloud [one]  sitting like to a son of man, having upon his head a golden  crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle; 
66N 014:015 and another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary  crying in a great voice to him who is sitting upon the cloud,  `Send forth thy sickle and reap, because come to thee hath the  hour of reaping, because ripe hath been the harvest of the  earth;' 
66N 014:016 and he who is sitting upon the cloud did put forth his  sickle upon the earth, and the earth was reaped. 
66N 014:017 And another messenger did come forth out of the sanctuary  that [is] in the heaven, having -- he also -- a sharp sickle, 
66N 014:018 and another messenger did come forth out from the altar,  having authority over the fire, and he called with a great cry  to him having the sharp sickle, saying, `Send forth thy sharp  sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth,  because come to perfection have her grapes;' 
66N 014:019 and the messenger did put forth his sickle to the earth,  and did gather the vine of the earth, and did cast [it] to the  great wine-press of the wrath of God; 
66N 014:020 and trodden was the wine-press outside of the city, and  blood did come forth out of the wine-press -- unto the bridles  of the horses, a thousand, six hundred furlongs. 
66N 015:001 And I saw another sign in the heaven, great and wonderful,  seven messengers having the seven last plagues, because in  these was completed the wrath of God, 
66N 015:002 and I saw as a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those  who do gain the victory over the beast, and his image, and his  mark, [and] the number of his name, standing by the sea of the  glass, having harps of God, 
66N 015:003 and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the  song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful [are] Thy works,  O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true [are] Thy ways, O  King of saints, 
66N 015:004 who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name?  because Thou alone [art] kind, because all the nations shall  come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were  manifested.' 
66N 015:005 And after these things I saw, and lo, opened was the  sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in the heaven; 
66N 015:006 and come forth did the seven messengers having the seven  plagues, out of the sanctuary, clothed in linen, pure and  shining, and girded round the breasts with golden girdles: 
66N 015:007 and one of the four living creatures did give to the seven  messengers seven golden vials, full of the wrath of God, who  is living to the ages of the ages; 
66N 015:008 and filled was the sanctuary with smoke from the glory of  God, and from His power, and no one was able to enter into the  sanctuary till the seven plagues of the seven messengers may  be finished. 
66N 016:001 And I heard a great voice out of the sanctuary saying to  the seven messengers, `Go away, and pour out the vials of the  wrath of God to the earth;' 
66N 016:002 and the first did go away, and did pour out his vial upon  the land, and there came a sore -- bad and grievous -- to men,  those having the mark of the beast, and those bowing to his  image. 
66N 016:003 And the second messenger did pour out his vial to the sea,  and there came blood as of [one] dead, and every living soul  died in the sea. 
66N 016:004 And the third messenger did pour out his vial to the  rivers, and to the fountains of the waters, and there came  blood, 
66N 016:005 and I heard the messenger of the waters, saying,  `righteous, O Lord, art Thou, who art, and who wast, and who  shalt be, because these things Thou didst judge, 
66N 016:006 because blood of saints and prophets they did pour out, and  blood to them Thou didst give to drink, for they are worthy;' 
66N 016:007 and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord  God, the Almighty, true and righteous [are] Thy judgments.' 
66N 016:008 And the fourth messenger did pour out his vial upon the  sun, and there was given to him to scorch men with fire, 
66N 016:009 and men were scorched with great heat, and they did speak  evil of the name of God, who hath authority over these  plagues, and they did not reform -- to give to Him glory. 
66N 016:010 And the fifth messenger did pour out his vial upon the  throne of the beast, and his kingdom did become darkened, and  they were gnawing their tongues from the pain, 
66N 016:011 and they did speak evil of the God of the heaven, from  their pains, and from their sores, and they did not reform from  their works. 
66N 016:012 And the sixth messenger did pour out his vial upon the  great river, the Euphrates, and dried up was its water, that  the way of the kings who are from the rising of the sun may be  made ready; 
66N 016:013 and I saw [come] 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 like frogs -- 
66N 016:014 for they are spirits of demons, doing signs -- which go  forth unto the kings of the earth, and of the whole world, to  bring them together to the battle of that great day of God the  Almighty; -- 
66N 016:015 `lo, I do come as a thief; happy [is] he who is watching,  and keeping his garments, that he may not walk naked, and they  may see his unseemliness,' -- 
66N 016:016 and they did bring them together to the place that is  called in Hebrew Armageddon. 
66N 016:017 And the seventh messenger did pour out his vial to the  air, and there came forth a great voice from the sanctuary of  the heaven, from the throne, saying, `It hath come!' 
66N 016:018 and there came voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and a  great earthquake came, such as came not since men came upon  the earth, so mighty an earthquake -- so great! 
66N 016:019 And it came -- the great city -- into three parts, and the  cities of the nations did fall, and Babylon the great was  remembered before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of  the wrath of His anger, 
66N 016:020 and every island did flee away, and mountains were not  found, 
66N 016:021 and great hail (as of talent weight) doth come down out of  the heaven upon men, and men did speak evil of God because of  the plague of the hail, because its plague is very great. 
66N 017:001 And there came one of the seven messengers, who were having  the seven vials, and he spake with me, saying to me, `Come, I  will shew to thee the judgment of the great whore, who is  sitting upon the many waters, 
66N 017:002 with whom the kings of the earth did commit whoredom; and  made drunk from the wine of her whoredom were those inhabiting  the earth;' 
66N 017:003 and he carried me away to a wilderness in the Spirit, and I  saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-coloured beast, full of  names of evil-speaking, having seven heads and ten horns, 
66N 017:004 and the woman was arrayed with purple and scarlet-colour,  and gilded with gold, and precious stone, and pearls, having a  golden cup in her hand full of abominations and uncleanness of  her whoredom, 
66N 017:005 and upon her forehead was a name written: `Secret, Babylon  the Great, the Mother of the Whores, and the Abominations of  the earth.' 
66N 017:006 And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the saints,  and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus, and I did wonder  -- having seen her -- with great wonder; 
66N 017:007 and the messenger said to me, `Wherefore didst thou wonder?  I -- I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast  that [is] carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten  horns. 
66N 017:008 `The beast that thou didst see: it was, and it is not; and  it is about to come up out of the abyss, and to go away to  destruction, and wonder shall those dwelling upon the earth,  whose names have not been written upon the scroll of the life  from the foundation of the world, beholding the beast that was,  and is not, although it is. 
66N 017:009 `Here [is] the mind that is having wisdom; the seven heads  are seven mountains, upon which the woman doth sit, 
66N 017:010 and there are seven kings, the five did fall, and the one  is, the other did not yet come, and when he may come, it  behoveth him to remain a little time; 
66N 017:011 and the beast that was, and is not, he also is eighth, and  out of the seven he is, and to destruction he doth go away. 
66N 017:012 `And the ten horns that thou sawest, are ten kings, who a  kingdom did not yet receive, but authority as kings the same  hour do receive with the beast, 
66N 017:013 these have one mind, and their own power and authority to  the beast they shall give over; 
66N 017:014 these with the Lamb shall make war, and the Lamb shall  overcome them, because Lord of lords he is, and King of kings,  and those with him are called, and choice, and stedfast.' 
66N 017:015 And he saith to me, `The waters that thou didst see, where  the whore doth sit, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,  and tongues;' 
66N 017:016 and the ten horns that thou didst see upon the beast,  these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and  naked, and shall eat her flesh, and shall burn her in fire, 
66N 017:017 for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to  make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the  sayings of God may be complete, 
66N 017:018 and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that  is having reign over the kings of the land.' 
66N 018:001 And after these things I saw another messenger coming down  out of the heaven, having great authority, and the earth was  lightened from his glory, 
66N 018:002 and he did cry in might -- a great voice, saying, `Fall,  fall did Babylon the great, and she became a habitation of  demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every  unclean and hateful bird, 
66N 018:003 because of the wine of the wrath of her whoredom have all  the nations drunk, and the kings of the earth with her did  commit whoredom, and merchants of the earth from the power of  her revel were made rich. 
66N 018:004 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, `Come  forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her  sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues, 
66N 018:005 because her sins did follow -- unto the heaven, and God did  remember her unrighteousness. 
66N 018:006 Render to her as also she did render to you, and double to  her doubles according to her works; in the cup that she did  mingle mingle to her double. 
66N 018:007 `As much as she did glorify herself and did revel, so much  torment and sorrow give to her, because in her heart she saith,  I sit a queen, and a widow I am not, and sorrow I shall not  see; 
66N 018:008 because of this, in one day, shall come her plagues, death,  and sorrow, and famine; and in fire she shall be utterly  burned, because strong [is] the Lord God who is judging her; 
66N 018:009 and weep over her, and smite themselves for her, shall the  kings of the earth, who with her did commit whoredom and did  revel, when they may see the smoke of her burning, 
66N 018:010 from afar having stood because of the fear of her torment,  saying, Wo, wo, the great city! Babylon, the strong city!  because in one hour did come thy judgment. 
66N 018:011 `And the merchants of the earth shall weep and sorrow over  her, because their lading no one doth buy any more; 
66N 018:012 lading of gold, and silver, and precious stone, and pearl,  and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all  thyne wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most  precious wood, and brass, and iron, and marble, 
66N 018:013 and cinnamon, and odours, and ointment, 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. 
66N 018:014 `And the fruits of the desire of thy soul did go away from  thee, and all things -- the dainty and the bright -- did go  away from thee, and no more at all mayest thou find them. 
66N 018:015 The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her,  far off shall stand because of the fear of her torment,  weeping, and sorrowing, 
66N 018:016 and saying, Wo, wo, the great city, that was arrayed with  fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and gilded in gold, and  precious stone, and pearls -- because in one hour so much  riches were made waste! 
66N 018:017 `And every shipmaster, and all the company upon the ships,  and sailors, and as many as work the sea, far off stood, 
66N 018:018 and were crying, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying,  What [city is] like to the great city? 
66N 018:019 and they did cast dust upon their heads, and were crying  out, weeping and sorrowing, saying, Wo, wo, the great city! in  which were made rich all having ships in the sea, out of her  costliness -- for in one hour was she made waste. 
66N 018:020 `Be glad over her, O heaven, and ye holy apostles and  prophets, because God did judge your judgment of her!' 
66N 018:021 And one strong messenger did take up a stone as a great  millstone, and did cast [it] to the sea, saying, `Thus with  violence shall Babylon be cast, the great city, and may not be  found any more at all; 
66N 018:022 and voice of harpers, and musicians, and pipers, and  trumpeters, may not be heard at all in thee any more; and any  artizan of any art may not be found at all in thee any more;  and noise of a millstone may not be heard at all in thee any  more; 
66N 018:023 and light of a lamp may not shine at all in thee any more;  and voice of bridegroom and of bride may not be heard at all in  thee any more; because thy merchants were the great ones of the  earth, because in thy sorcery were all the nations led astray, 
66N 018:024 and in her blood of prophets and of saints was found, and  of all those who have been slain on the earth.' 
66N 019:001 And after these things I heard a great voice of a great  multitude in the heaven, saying, `Alleluia! the salvation, and  the glory, and the honour, and the power, [is] to the Lord our  God; 
66N 019:002 because true and righteous [are] His judgments, because He  did judge the great whore who did corrupt the earth in her  whoredom, and He did avenge the blood of His servants at her  hand;' 
66N 019:003 and a second time they said, `Alleluia;' and her smoke doth  come up -- to the ages of the ages! 
66N 019:004 And fall down did the elders -- the twenty and four -- and  the four living creatures, and they did bow before God who is  sitting upon the throne, saying, `Amen, Alleluia.' 
66N 019:005 And a voice out of the throne did come forth, saying,  `Praise our God, all ye His servants, and those fearing Him,  both the small and the great;' 
66N 019:006 and I heard as the voice of a great multitude, and as the  voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings,  saying, `Alleluia! because reign did the Lord God -- the  Almighty! 
66N 019:007 may we rejoice and exult, and give the glory to Him,  because come did the marriage of the Lamb, and his wife did  make herself ready; 
66N 019:008 and there was given to her that she may be arrayed with  fine linen, pure and shining, for the fine linen is the  righteous acts of the saints.' 
66N 019:009 And he saith to me, `Write: Happy [are] they who to the  supper of the marriage of the Lamb have been called;' and he  saith to me, `These [are] the true words of God;' 
66N 019:010 and I fell before his feet, to bow before him, and he  saith to me, `See -- not! fellow servant of thee am I, and of  thy brethren, those having the testimony of Jesus; bow before  God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of the prophecy.' 
66N 019:011 And I saw the heaven having been opened, and lo, a white  horse, and he who is sitting upon it is called Faithful and  True, and in righteousness doth he judge and war, 
66N 019:012 and his eyes [are] as a flame of fire, and upon his head  [are] many diadems -- having a name written that no one hath  known, except himself, 
66N 019:013 and he is arrayed with a garment covered with blood, and  his name is called, The Word of God. 
66N 019:014 And the armies in the heaven were following him upon white  horses, clothed in fine linen -- white and pure; 
66N 019:015 and out of his mouth doth proceed a sharp sword, that with  it he may smite the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod  of iron, and he doth tread the press of the wine of the wrath  and the anger of God the Almighty, 
66N 019:016 and he hath upon the garment and upon his thigh the name  written, `King of kings, and Lord of lords.' 
66N 019:017 And I saw one messenger standing in the sun, and he cried,  a great voice, saying to all the birds that are flying in  mid-heaven, `Come and be gathered together to the supper of the  great God, 
66N 019:018 that ye may eat flesh of kings, and flesh of chiefs of  thousands, and flesh of strong men, and flesh of horses, and of  those sitting on them, and the flesh of all -- freemen and  servants -- both small and great.' 
66N 019:019 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their  armies, having been gathered together to make war with him who  is sitting upon the horse, and with his army; 
66N 019:020 and the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet  who did the signs before him, in which he led astray those who  did receive the mark of the beast, and those who did bow before  his image; living they were cast -- the two -- to the lake of  the fire, that is burning with brimstone; 
66N 019:021 and the rest were killed with the sword of him who is  sitting on the horse, which [sword] is proceeding out of his  mouth, and all the birds were filled out of their flesh. 
66N 020:001 And I saw a messenger coming down out of the heaven, having  the key of the abyss, and a great chain over his hand, 
66N 020:002 and he laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, who is  Devil and Adversary, and did bind him a thousand years, 
66N 020:003 and he cast him to the abyss, and did shut him up, and put  a seal upon him, that he may not lead astray the nations any  more, till the thousand years may be finished; and after these  it behoveth him to be loosed a little time. 
66N 020:004 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was  given to them, and the souls of those who have been beheaded  because of the testimony of Jesus, and because of the word of  God, and who did not bow before the beast, nor his image, and  did not receive the mark upon their forehead and upon their  hand, and they did live and reign with Christ the thousand  years; 
66N 020:005 and the rest of the dead did not live again till the  thousand years may be finished; this [is] the first rising  again. 
66N 020:006 Happy and holy [is] he who is having part in the first  rising again; over these the second death hath not authority,  but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall  reign with him a thousand years. 
66N 020:007 And when the thousand years may be finished, the Adversary  shall be loosed out of his prison, 
66N 020:008 and he shall go forth to lead the nations astray, that are  in the four corners of the earth -- Gog and Magog -- to gather  them together to war, of whom the number [is] as the sand of  the sea; 
66N 020:009 and they did go up over the breadth of the land, and did  surround the camp of the saints, and the beloved city, and  there came down fire from God out of the heaven, and devoured  them; 
66N 020:010 and the Devil, who is leading them astray, was cast into  the lake of fire and brimstone, where [are] the beast and the  false prophet, and they shall be tormented day and night -- to  the ages of the ages. 
66N 020:011 And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting  upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee  away, and place was not found for them; 
66N 020:012 and I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,  and scrolls were opened, and another scroll was opened, which  is that of the life, and the dead were judged out of the things  written in the scrolls -- according to their works; 
66N 020:013 and the sea did give up those dead in it, and the death  and the hades did give up the dead in them, and they were  judged, each one according to their works; 
66N 020:014 and the death and the hades were cast to the lake of the  fire -- this [is] the second death; 
66N 020:015 and if any one was not found written in the scroll of the  life, he was cast to the lake of the fire. 
66N 021:001 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first  heaven and the first earth did pass away, and the sea is not  any more; 
66N 021:002 and I, John, saw the holy city -- new Jerusalem -- coming  down from God out of the heaven, made ready as a bride adorned  for her husband; 
66N 021:003 and I heard a great voice out of the heaven, saying, `Lo,  the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will tabernacle  with them, and they shall be His peoples, and God Himself shall  be with them -- their God, 
66N 021:004 and God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and the  death shall not be any more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor shall  there be any more pain, because the first things did go away.' 
66N 021:005 And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make  all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words  are true and stedfast;' 
66N 021:006 and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and  the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is  thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life  freely; 
66N 021:007 he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will  be to him -- a God, and he shall be to me -- the son, 
66N 021:008 and to fearful, and unstedfast, and abominable, and  murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and  all the liars, their part [is] in the lake that is burning with  fire and brimstone, which is a second death.' 
66N 021:009 And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who  have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues,  and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride  of the Lamb -- the wife,' 
66N 021:010 and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great  and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy  Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, 
66N 021:011 having the glory of God, and her light [is] like a stone  most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal, 
66N 021:012 having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates,  and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon,  which are [those] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel, 
66N 021:013 at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the  south three gates, at the west three gates; 
66N 021:014 and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in  them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 
66N 021:015 And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he  may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall; 
66N 021:016 and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as  great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed  -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and  the height, of it are equal; 
66N 021:017 and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits,  the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger; 
66N 021:018 and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city [is]  pure gold -- like to pure glass; 
66N 021:019 and the foundations of the wall of the city with every  precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation jasper;  the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,  emerald; 
66N 021:020 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,  chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth,  chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 
66N 021:021 And the twelve gates [are] twelve pearls, each several one  of the gates was of one pearl; and the broad-place of the city  [is] pure gold -- as transparent glass. 
66N 021:022 And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the  Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb, 
66N 021:023 and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon,  that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it,  and the lamp of it [is] the Lamb; 
66N 021:024 and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and  the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it, 
66N 021:025 and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night  shall not be there; 
66N 021:026 and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the  nations into it; 
66N 021:027 and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling  and doing abomination, and a lie, but -- those written in the  scroll of the life of the Lamb. 
66N 022:001 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as  crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb: 
66N 022:002 in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this  side and on that, [is] a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits,  in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of  the tree [are] for the service of the nations; 
66N 022:003 and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne  of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall  serve Him, 
66N 022:004 and they shall see His face, and His name [is] upon their  foreheads, 
66N 022:005 and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a  lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them  light, and they shall reign -- to the ages of the ages. 
66N 022:006 And he said to me, `These words [are] stedfast and true,  and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger  to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come  quickly: 
66N 022:007 Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words  of the prophecy of this scroll.' 
66N 022:008 And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing,  and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet  of the messenger who is shewing me these things; 
66N 022:009 and he saith to me, `See -- not; for fellow-servant of thee  am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping  the words of this scroll; before God bow.' 
66N 022:010 And he saith to me, `Thou mayest not seal the words of the  prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh; 
66N 022:011 he who is unrighteous -- let him be unrighteous still, and  he who is filthy -- let him be filthy still, and he who is  righteous -- let him be declared righteous still, and he who is  sanctified -- let him be sanctified still: 
66N 022:012 And lo, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to  render to each as his work shall be; 
66N 022:013 I am the Alpha and the Omega -- the Beginning and End --  the First and the Last. 
66N 022:014 `Happy are those doing His commands that the authority  shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates  they may enter into the city; 
66N 022:015 and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the  whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every  one who is loving and is doing a lie. 
66N 022:016 `I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these  things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the  offspring of David, the bright and morning star! 
66N 022:017 And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is  hearing -- let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting -- let  him come; and he who is willing -- let him take the water of  life freely. 
66N 022:018 `For I testify to every one hearing the words of the  prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God  shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this  scroll, 
66N 022:019 and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll  of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll  of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have  been written in this scroll;' 
66N 022:020 he saith -- who is testifying these things -- `Yes, I come  quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus! 
66N 022:021 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all.  Amen.
