Verse	Berean Literal Bible (Draft)
Genesis 1:1	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Genesis 1:2	And the earth was formless and void, and darkness [was] over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Genesis 1:3	And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Genesis 1:4	And God saw the light, that [it was] good. And God divided between the light and between the darkness.

Genesis 1:6	And God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it be dividing between waters [and] waters.”
Genesis 1:7	And God made the firmament, and He divided between the waters that [were] under the firmament, and between the waters that [were] above the firmament. And it was so.
Genesis 1:8	And God called the firmament “Heavens.” And there was evening and there was morning—the second day.
Genesis 1:9	And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land be seen.” And it was so.

Genesis 1:11	And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation: The plant bearing seed [and] the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind (whose seed [is] in it) on the earth.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:12	And the earth brought forth vegetation: The plant bearing seed according to its kind, and the tree producing fruit (whose seed [is] in it) according to its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
Genesis 1:13	And there was evening and there was morning—the third day.
Genesis 1:14	And God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens, to divide between the day and between the night, and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years,
Genesis 1:15	and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens, to shine upon the earth.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:16	And God made the two great lights: The greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
Genesis 1:17	And God set them in the firmament of the heavens, to shine upon the earth,
Genesis 1:18	and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide between the light and between the darkness. And God saw that [it was] good.
Genesis 1:19	And there was evening and there was morning—the fourth day.
Genesis 1:20	And God said, “Let the waters swarm [with] a swarm of living souls, and let the bird fly above the earth, on the face of the firmament of the heavens.”
Genesis 1:21	And God created the great sea creatures and every living soul that is crawling, with which the waters swarmed according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that [it was] good.
Genesis 1:22	And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the bird multiply in the earth.”
Genesis 1:23	And there was evening and there was morning—the fifth day.
Genesis 1:24	And God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living soul according to its kind: Livestock and the crawling thing and beast of the earth according to its kind.” And it was so.

Genesis 1:26	And God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the bird of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:27	And God created the man in His image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:28	And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it. And rule over the fish of the sea and over the bird of the heavens and over every living thing that is crawling upon the earth.”
Genesis 1:29	And God said, “Behold, I have given to you⁺ every plant bearing seed which [is] on the face of all the earth, and every tree that [has] in [it] the fruit of a tree bearing seed—it shall be for food to you⁺—
Genesis 1:30	and to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything crawling upon the earth which [has] in it a living soul, every green plant for food.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:31	And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, [it was] very good! And there was evening and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 2:1	And the heavens and the earth were finished, and all their host.
Genesis 2:2	And God finished by the seventh day His work that He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work that He had done.
Genesis 2:3	And God blessed the seventh day, and He sanctified it, because on it He ceased from all His work that God had created for making.
Genesis 2:4	These [are] the generations of the heavens and the earth in their being created, in the day when YHWH God made the earth and the heavens.
Genesis 2:5	And any bush of the field had not yet come to be on the earth, and any plant of the field had not yet sprouted, for YHWH God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and man was not there to work the ground.
Genesis 2:6	And a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
Genesis 2:7	And YHWH God formed the man [from] dust of the ground, and He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.
Genesis 2:8	And YHWH God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and He put there the man whom He had formed.
Genesis 2:9	And YHWH God made sprout from the ground every tree [that] is pleasing to the sight and good for food, and the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:10	And a river went forth from Eden to water the garden, and from there it was divided and became four heads:
Genesis 2:11	The name of the one [is] Pishon; it [is] the one winding [through] the whole land of the Havilah, where there [is] the gold.
Genesis 2:12	And the gold of that land [is] good, [and] the bdellium and the onyx stone [are] there.
Genesis 2:13	And the name of the second river [is] Gihon; it [is] the one winding [through] the whole land of Cush.
Genesis 2:14	And the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel; it [is] the one going [along] the east side of Assyria. And the fourth river, it [is] the Euphrates.
Genesis 2:15	And YHWH God took the man and He caused him to rest in the garden of Eden, to work it and to keep it.
Genesis 2:16	And YHWH God placed a command upon the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden you may surely eat.
Genesis 2:17	And from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from it you shall not eat. For in the day of your eating from it, you shall surely die!”
Genesis 2:18	And YHWH God said, “[It is] not good [for] the man to be alone; I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.”
Genesis 2:19	And YHWH God formed from the ground every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens, and He brought [them] to the man to see what he would call it. And whatever the man called it—each living soul—that [was] its name.
Genesis 2:20	And the man called names to all the livestock, and to the bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field. And for the man there was not found a helper as his counterpart.
Genesis 2:21	And YHWH God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept, and He took one from his sides, and He closed up the flesh in its place.
Genesis 2:22	And YHWH God built the side—which He had taken from the man—into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Genesis 2:23	And the man said, “This at last [is] bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; for this shall be called ‘Woman,’ because out of Man this was taken.”
Genesis 2:24	Upon thus a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Genesis 2:25	And the two of them were naked, the man and his wife, and they were not ashamed.
Genesis 3:1	And the serpent was cunning above every beast of the field that YHWH God had made. And he said to the woman, “[Is it] true that God has said, ‘You⁺ shall not eat from any tree of the garden?’”
Genesis 3:2	And the woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,
Genesis 3:3	and from the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You⁺ shall not eat from it, and you⁺ shall not touch it, lest you⁺ die.’”
Genesis 3:4	And the serpent said to the woman, “You⁺ will not surely die!
Genesis 3:5	For God knows that in the day of your⁺ eating from it, your⁺ eyes will be opened and you⁺ will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Genesis 3:6	And the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes and the tree [was] desirable to make one wise. And she took from its fruit and ate, and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.
Genesis 3:7	And the eyes of the two of them were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked, and they sewed together leaves of the fig tree and made for themselves loincloths.
Genesis 3:8	And they heard the voice of YHWH God walking about in the garden in the breeze of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the face of YHWH God in the midst of the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:9	And YHWH God called to the man, and He said to him, “Where [are] you?”
Genesis 3:10	And he said, “Your voice I heard in the garden, and I was afraid because I am naked, and I hid myself.”
Genesis 3:11	And He said, “Who told you that you [were] naked? From the tree of which I commanded you not to eat from it, have you eaten?”
Genesis 3:12	And the man said, “The woman whom You gave [to be] with me, she gave to me from the tree, and I ate.”
Genesis 3:13	And YHWH God said to the woman, “What [is] this you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
Genesis 3:14	And YHWH God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed [are] you above all the livestock and above every beast of the field. On your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat, all the days of your life.
Genesis 3:15	And enmity I will put between you and between the woman, and between your seed and between her seed. He shall bruise you [on] the head, and you shall bruise him [on] the heel.
Genesis 3:16	To the woman He said, “I will surely multiply your pain and your childbearing; in pain you will bear children. And toward your husband your desire [will be], and he will rule over you.”
Genesis 3:17	And to the man He said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘you shall not eat from it,’ cursed is the ground on your account, in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life,
Genesis 3:18	and thorn and thistle it will cause to grow for you, and you shall eat the vegetation of the field.
Genesis 3:19	By the sweat of your nose you shall eat bread, until your returning to the ground, for from it you were taken. For dust you [are], and to dust you shall return.”
Genesis 3:20	And the man called the name of his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.
Genesis 3:21	And YHWH God made for the man and for his wife tunics of skin, and He clothed them.
Genesis 3:22	And YHWH God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, in knowing good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever:”
Genesis 3:23	And YHWH God sent him out of the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken.
Genesis 3:24	And He drove out the man, and He caused to dwell at the east of the garden of Eden the cherubim and the flame of the sword that turns itself to guard the way to the tree of life.
Genesis 4:1	And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain and said, “I have acquired a man by YHWH.”
Genesis 4:2	And she continued to give birth [to] his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain was a worker of the ground.
Genesis 4:3	And it came to pass at the end of days that Cain brought some of the fruit of the ground an offering to YHWH.
Genesis 4:4	And Abel, he also brought from the firstborn of his flock, even from their fat. And YHWH looked with favor unto Abel and unto his offering.
Genesis 4:5	And to Cain and to his offering He did not look with favor, and it burned to Cain exceedingly, and his face fell.
Genesis 4:6	And YHWH said to Cain, “Why has it burned to you, and why has your face fallen?
Genesis 4:7	Is it not [that] if you do well, [there is] elevation? But if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire [is] for you, and you must rule over it.”
Genesis 4:8	And Cain said to Abel his brother, [ “Let us go into the field.” ] And it came to pass in their being in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.
Genesis 4:9	And YHWH said to Cain, “Where [is] Abel your brother?” And He said, “I do not know. [Am] I my brother’s keeper?”
Genesis 4:10	And He said, “What have you done? The voice of the bloods of your brother is crying out to Me from the ground!
Genesis 4:11	And now, cursed [are] you from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive the bloods of your brother from your hand.
Genesis 4:12	When you work the ground, it shall not continue to give its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth.”
Genesis 4:13	And Cain said to YHWH, “Greater [is] my punishment than I can bear!
Genesis 4:14	Behold, You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and from Your face I shall be hidden, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer on the earth. And it will come to pass [that] anyone finding me will kill me!”
Genesis 4:15	And YHWH said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain, sevenfold shall vengeance be taken on him.” And YHWH set on Cain a mark, lest anyone finding him [should] slay him.
Genesis 4:16	And Cain went out from before the face of YHWH and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Genesis 4:17	And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. And he began building a city, and he called the name of the city according to the name of his son, Enoch.
Genesis 4:18	And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begat Mehujael, and Mehujael begat Methushael, and Methushael begat Lamech.
Genesis 4:19	And Lamech took for himself two wives: The name of the one [was] Adah, and the name of the second [was] Zillah.
Genesis 4:20	And Adah bore Jabal; he was the father of those dwelling in tents and [having] livestock.
Genesis 4:21	And the name of his brother [was] Jubal; he was the father of all who play the harp and flute.
Genesis 4:22	And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, a forger of every implement of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain [was] Naamah.
Genesis 4:23	And Lamech said to his wives: “Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; wives of Lamech, give ear to my speech: For a man I have killed for my wound, and a young man for my bruise.
Genesis 4:24	If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy and sevenfold!”
Genesis 4:25	And Adam again knew his wife, and she gave birth to a son and called his name Seth, “For God has appointed for me another seed in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.”

Genesis 7:13	On this very day entered Noah, and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark—

Genesis 8:6	And it came to pass at the end of forty days that Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made,

Genesis 8:8	And he sent forth the dove from himself to see [if] the waters had receded from the face of the ground.
Genesis 8:9	And the dove did not find a resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned to him in the ark; for the waters [were still] on the face of all the earth. And he stretched out his hand and took her, and brought her to himself in the ark.
Genesis 8:10	And he waited yet another seven days, and he again sent forth the dove from the ark.
Genesis 8:11	And the dove came [back] to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf [was] in her mouth. And Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth.

Genesis 8:13	And it came to pass in the one and six hundredth year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, that the waters were dried up from the earth. And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and he looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Genesis 8:14	And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, the earth was dried.
Genesis 8:15	And God spoke to Noah, saying,
Genesis 8:16	“Go forth from the ark, you, and your wife, and your sons, and the wives of your sons with you.
Genesis 8:17	Every living thing that [is] with you—all flesh, the bird, and the livestock, and every crawling thing that crawls on the earth—bring out with you, and let them swarm on the earth and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
Genesis 8:18	And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and the wives of his sons with him.
Genesis 8:19	And every animal, every crawling thing, every bird, [and] everything [that] moves on the earth, according to their families, they went forth from the ark.
Genesis 8:20	And Noah built an altar to YHWH. And he took from every clean animal and from every clean bird, and he offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Genesis 8:21	And YHWH smelled the pleasing aroma, and YHWH said in His heart, “I will not continue to curse anymore the ground on account of mankind, though the inclination of the heart of man [is] evil from his youth. I will not continue anymore to destroy every living thing, as I have done.
Genesis 8:22	Throughout all the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
Genesis 9:1	And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
Genesis 9:2	And the fear of you⁺ and the dread of you⁺ shall be on every beast of the earth, and on every bird of the heavens, on all that moves [on] the earth, and on all the fish of the sea. Into your⁺ hand they are given—
Genesis 9:3	every moving thing that [has in] it life, for you⁺ it shall be for food; as the green plants, I have given to you⁺ everything.
Genesis 9:4	But flesh with its life—its blood—you⁺ shall not eat.
Genesis 9:5	And surely your⁺ blood for your⁺ lives I will require; from the hand of every beast I will require it, and from the hand of the man; from the hand of each man’s brother I will require [for] the life of the man.
Genesis 9:6	Whoever sheds the blood of the man, by the man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He has made the man.
Genesis 9:7	And you⁺, be fruitful and multiply; swarm on the earth and multiply on it.”
Genesis 9:8	And God said to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,
Genesis 9:9	“And I—behold, I, am establishing My covenant with you⁺ and with your⁺ seed after you⁺,
Genesis 9:10	and with every living creature that [is] with you⁺, among the bird, among the livestock, and among every beast of the earth with you⁺, from all those going out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
Genesis 9:11	And I have establishd My covenant with you⁺, that all flesh shall never again be cut off by the waters of the flood; and there shall never again be a flood to destroy the earth.”
Genesis 9:12	And God said, “This [is] the sign of the covenant that I am giving between Me, and between you⁺, and between every living soul that [is] with you⁺, for generations everlasting.
Genesis 9:13	My bow I have set in the cloud, and it shall be for [a] sign of the covenant between Me and between the earth.
Genesis 9:14	And it shall come to pass in My bringing a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud.
Genesis 9:15	And I will remember My covenant, that [is] between Me, and between you⁺, and between every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Genesis 9:16	And the bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and between every living soul of all flesh that [is] on the earth.”
Genesis 9:17	And God said to Noah, “This [is] the sign of the covenant that I have established between Me and between all flesh that [is] on the earth.”
Genesis 9:18	And the sons of Noah who went out from the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth. And Ham—he [was] the father of Canaan.
Genesis 9:19	These [were] the three sons of Noah, and from these all the earth was scattered.
Genesis 9:20	And Noah began [to be] a man of the ground, and he planted a vineyard.
Genesis 9:21	And he drank from the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself in the midst of his tent.
Genesis 9:22	And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and he told his two brothers outside.
Genesis 9:23	And Shem took—and Japheth—the garment, and they laid [it] on the shoulders of the two of them and they went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. And their faces [were] backward, and the nakedness of their father they did not see.
Genesis 9:24	And Noah awoke from his wine and he knew what his youngest son had done to him.
Genesis 9:25	And he said, “Cursed [be] Canaan! A servant of servants he shall be to his brothers.”
Genesis 9:26	And he said, “Blessed [be] YHWH, the God of Shem! And may Canaan be a servant to him.
Genesis 9:27	May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be a servant to them.”
Genesis 9:28	And after the flood Noah lived three hundred years and fifty years.
Genesis 9:29	And all the days of Noah were nine hundred years and fifty years, and he died.
Genesis 10:1	And these [are] the generations of Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And were born to them sons after the flood.
Genesis 10:2	The sons of Japheth: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Genesis 10:3	And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Genesis 10:4	And the sons of Javan: Elishah, and Tarshish, the Kittim, and the Rodanim.
Genesis 10:5	From these were separated the coastlands of the nations, in their lands, each according to his language, according to their clans, in their nations.
Genesis 10:6	And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.
Genesis 10:7	And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.
Genesis 10:8	And Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
Genesis 10:9	He was a mighty hunter before the face of YHWH; upon thus it is said: “Like Nimrod, [a] mighty hunter before the face of YHWH.”
Genesis 10:10	And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis 10:11	From that land he went to Assyria, and built Nineveh and Rehoboth-ir and Calah,
Genesis 10:12	and Resen between Nineveh and between Calah; it [is] the great city.
Genesis 10:13	And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Genesis 10:14	and Pathrusim, and the Casluhites (from whom the Philistines came), and the Caphtorim.
Genesis 10:15	And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
Genesis 10:16	and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite,
Genesis 10:17	and the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Genesis 10:18	and the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. And afterward the clans of the Canaanite were scattered.
Genesis 10:19	And the border of the Canaanite was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; [and] as you go toward Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.
Genesis 10:20	These [are] the sons of Ham, according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
Genesis 10:21	And [sons] were also born to Shem—the father of all the sons of Eber—the brother of Japheth the elder.
Genesis 10:22	The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Genesis 10:23	And the sons of Aram: Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Genesis 10:24	And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
Genesis 10:25	And to Eber two sons were born: The name of the one [was] Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and the name of his brother [was] Joktan.
Genesis 10:26	And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Genesis 10:27	and Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Genesis 10:28	and Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Genesis 10:29	and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab; all these [are] the sons of Joktan.
Genesis 10:30	And their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.
Genesis 10:31	These [are] the sons of Shem, according to their clans, according to their languages, in their lands, in their nations.
Genesis 10:32	These [are] the clans of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations. And from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.
Genesis 11:1	And all the earth had one language and one speech.
Genesis 11:2	And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
Genesis 11:3	And they said, each man to his brother, “Come, let us make bricks and burn [them] for burning.” And the brick was to them for stone, and the tar was to them for the mortar.
Genesis 11:4	And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city and a tower, and its top in the heavens, and let us make for ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of all the earth.”
Genesis 11:5	And YHWH came down to see the city and the tower that the sons of men had built.
Genesis 11:6	And YHWH said, “Behold, the people [are] one, and one language [is] to them all, and this they have begun to do. And now nothing will be restrained from them of all that they devise to do.
Genesis 11:7	Come, let Us go down there and confuse their language, so that one man may not understand the language of his companion.”
Genesis 11:8	And YHWH scattered them from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased to build the city.
Genesis 11:9	Upon thus its name is called Babel, for there YHWH confused the language of all the earth, and from there YHWH scattered them over the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:10	These [are] the generations of Shem. Shem [was] a son of a hundred years, and he begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.
Genesis 11:11	And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:12	And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and he begat Shelah.
Genesis 11:13	And Arphaxad lived after he begat Shelah three years and four hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:14	And Shelah lived thirty years, and he begat Eber.
Genesis 11:15	And Shelah lived after he begat Eber three years and four hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:16	And Eber lived four and thirty years, and he begat Peleg.
Genesis 11:17	And Eber lived after he begat Peleg thirty years and four hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:18	And Peleg lived thirty years, and he begat Reu.
Genesis 11:19	And Peleg lived after he begat Reu nine years and two hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:20	And Reu lived two and thirty years, and he begat Serug.
Genesis 11:21	And Reu lived after he begat Serug seven years and two hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:22	And Serug lived thirty years, and he begat Nahor.
Genesis 11:23	And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:24	And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and he begat Terah.
Genesis 11:25	And Nahor lived after he begat Terah nine [and] ten years and a hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
Genesis 11:26	And Terah lived seventy years, and he begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Genesis 11:27	And these [are] the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. And Haran begat Lot.
Genesis 11:28	And Haran died before the face of Terah his father, in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldeans.
Genesis 11:29	And Abram and Nahor took for themselves wives; the name [of] the wife of Abram [was] Sarai; and the name [of] the wife of Nahor [was] Milcah daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.
Genesis 11:30	And Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Genesis 11:31	And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot son of Haran, the son of his son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. And they came as far as Haran and they dwelt there.
Genesis 11:32	And the days of Terah were five years and two hundred years, and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis 12:1	And YHWH had said to Abram, “Go for yourself from your land and from your kindred and from the house of your father, to the land that I will show you.
Genesis 12:2	And I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you and I will make great your name, and you shall be a blessing.
Genesis 12:3	And I will bless those blessing you, and him who curses you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Genesis 12:4	And Abram departed as YHWH had spoken to him, and Lot departed with him. And Abram [was] a son of five years and seventy years when he went out from Haran.
Genesis 12:5	And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot, son of his brother, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had made in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan. And they came to the land of Canaan.
Genesis 12:6	And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the Oak of Moreh. And at that time the Canaanite [was] in the land.
Genesis 12:7	And YHWH appeared to Abram and said, “To your seed I will give this land.” And he built there an altar to YHWH, who had appeared to him.
Genesis 12:8	And he moved on from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And he built there an altar to YHWH, and he called on the name of YHWH.
Genesis 12:9	And Abram journeyed, going on and journeying toward the Negev.
Genesis 12:10	And there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine [was] severe in the land.
Genesis 12:11	And it came to pass when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, “Behold now, I know that you [are] a woman beautiful in appearance.
Genesis 12:12	And it will come to pass when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, ‘This [is] his wife.’ And they will kill me, and you they will let live.
Genesis 12:13	Say, please, you [are] my sister, so that it may go well with me for your sake, and my soul may live because of you.”
Genesis 12:14	And it came to pass, when Abram entered Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she [was] very beautiful.
Genesis 12:15	And the princes of Pharaoh saw her, and they commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into the house of Pharaoh.
Genesis 12:16	And Abram he treated well for her sake, and he had for himself sheep, and cattle, and male donkeys, and menservants, and maidservants, and female donkeys, and camels.
Genesis 12:17	And YHWH plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of the matter [of] Sarai, wife of Abram.
Genesis 12:18	And Pharaoh called to Abram and said, “What [is] this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she [was] your wife?
Genesis 12:19	Why did you say, ‘She [is] my sister,’ so that I took her to myself as a wife? And now, behold, your wife; take [her] and go!”
Genesis 12:20	And Pharaoh commanded [his] men concerning him, and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis 13:1	And Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had—and Lot with him—to the Negev.
Genesis 13:2	And Abram [was] very rich in the livestock, in the silver, and in the gold.
Genesis 13:3	And he went on his journey from the Negev, and even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning between Bethel and between Ai,
Genesis 13:4	to the place of the altar that he had made there at the first. And there Abram called on the name of YHWH.
Genesis 13:5	And also Lot, who went with Abram, had a flock and a herd, and tents.
Genesis 13:6	And the land was not able to support them to dwell together, for their possessions were great, and they were not able to dwell together.
Genesis 13:7	And there was strife between the shepherds of livestock of Abram and between the shepherds of livestock of Lot. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.
Genesis 13:8	And Abram said to Lot, “Please let there not be strife between me and between you, and between my shepherds and between your shepherds, for we [are] men—brothers.
Genesis 13:9	Is not all the land before you? Separate, please, from me—if to the left, then I will go to the right; and if to the right, then I will go to the left.”
Genesis 13:10	And Lot lifted up his eyes, and he saw all the plain of the Jordan, for all of it [was] well watered (before YHWH destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of YHWH, like the land of Egypt, as you go toward Zoar.
Genesis 13:11	And Lot chose for himself all the plain of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed toward the east. And they separated, a man from his brother.
Genesis 13:12	Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain, and he pitched [his] tent toward Sodom.
Genesis 13:13	And the men of Sodom [were] wicked and exceedingly sinful before YHWH.
Genesis 13:14	And YHWH said to Abram after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up now your eyes and look from the place where you [are]—northward and southward and eastward and westward.
Genesis 13:15	For all the land that you are seeing, I give to you and to your seed unto eternity.
Genesis 13:16	And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth, so that if a man is able to number the dust of the earth, [then] also your seed could be numbered.
Genesis 13:17	Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for to you I give it.”
Genesis 13:18	And Abram moved [his] tent, and he went and dwelt by the Oaks of Mamre which [are] in Hebron, and he built there an altar to YHWH.
Genesis 14:1	And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,
Genesis 14:2	[that] they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and Birsha king of Gomorrah, [and] Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that [is], Zoar).
Genesis 14:3	All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (that [is], the Salt Sea).
Genesis 14:4	Two [and] ten years they had served Chedorlaomer, and in the three and tenth year they rebelled.
Genesis 14:5	And in the four and tenth year came Chedorlaomer and the kings who [were] with him, and they struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzites in Ham, and the Emites in Shaveh-kiriathaim,
Genesis 14:6	and the Horites in their mountain of Seir, as far as El-Paran, which [is] by the wilderness.
Genesis 14:7	And they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that [is], Kadesh), and they struck all the territory of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who was dwelling in Hazazon-tamar.
Genesis 14:8	And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that [is], Zoar). And they arrayed in battle with them in the Valley of Siddim—
Genesis 14:9	against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against the five.
Genesis 14:10	And the Valley of Siddim had pits, pits of tar; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and [some] fell there, and the remainder fled to the mountains.
Genesis 14:11	And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food, and they went on their way.
Genesis 14:12	And they took Lot, son of Abram's brother, and his goods, and they departed; and he was dwelling in Sodom.
Genesis 14:13	And the escapee came, and he told Abram the Hebrew, and he was dwelling by the Oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; and they were possessors [of] a covenant with Abram.
Genesis 14:14	And Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, and he drew out his trained men, those born in his house, eight [and] ten and three hundred, and he went in pursuit as far as Dan.
Genesis 14:15	And he divided himself against them by night—he and his servants—and he struck them and he pursued them as far as Hobah, which [is] north of Damascus.
Genesis 14:16	And he brought back all the goods, and also Lot, his brother, and his goods; he also brought back the women and the people.
Genesis 14:17	And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from striking Chedorlaomer and the kings who [were] with him at the Valley of Shaveh (that [is], the King’s Valley).
Genesis 14:18	And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine, and he [was] priest of El-Elyon.
Genesis 14:19	And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram to El-Elyon, Possessor of the heavens and earth,
Genesis 14:20	and blessed be El-Elyon, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave to him a tenth of everything.
Genesis 14:21	And the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give to me the souls, and take the goods for yourself.”
Genesis 14:22	And Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to YHWH El-Elyon, Possessor of the heavens and earth,
Genesis 14:23	from a thread even to a strap of a sandal, that I will [not] take anything that [is] yours—lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’—
Genesis 14:24	Except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. They may take their portion.”
Genesis 15:1	After these things the word of YHWH came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I [am] a shield to you; your reward is exceedingly great.”
Genesis 15:2	And Abram said, “O Lord YHWH, what can You give to me, and I go childless, and the son of possession of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?”
Genesis 15:3	And Abram said, “Behold, You have not given to me offspring; and behold, a son of my house is inheriting me.”
Genesis 15:4	And behold, the word of YHWH [came] to him, saying, “This one will not inherit you, but rather one who will come from your inward parts, he will inherit you.”
Genesis 15:5	And He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them.” And He said to him, “So shall be your seed.”
Genesis 15:6	And he believed in YHWH, and He reckoned it to him as righteousness.
Genesis 15:7	And He said to him, “I [am] YHWH who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give to you this land to possess it.”
Genesis 15:8	And he said, “Lord YHWH, by what shall I know that I will possess it?”
Genesis 15:9	And He said to him, “Bring Me a heifer being three years [old], and a female goat being three years [old], and a ram being three years [old], and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.”
Genesis 15:10	And he brought to Him all these, and he cut them in two in the middle and placed each piece opposite the other; and the bird he did not cut in two.
Genesis 15:11	And the bird of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.
Genesis 15:12	And the sun was going [down], and a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And behold, a terror of great darkness fell upon him.
Genesis 15:13	And He said to Abram, “Know for certain that your seed will be a sojourner in a land not theirs, and they will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years.
Genesis 15:14	And the nation whom they serve I will judge, and after this, they shall come out with great possessions.
Genesis 15:15	And as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.
Genesis 15:16	And the fourth generation, they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorite here [is] not yet complete.”
Genesis 15:17	And it came to pass when the sun went [down] and it was dark, and behold, a smoking firepot and a burning torch that passed between these pieces.
Genesis 15:18	On that day YHWH cut a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates,
Genesis 15:19	with the Kenite, and the Kenizzite, and the Kadmonite,
Genesis 15:20	and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Rephaim,
Genesis 15:21	and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Girgashite, and the Jebusite.”
Genesis 16:1	And Sarai the wife of Abram has not borne to him, and she had a maidservant, an Egyptianess, and her name [was] Hagar.
Genesis 16:2	And Sarai said to Abram, “Behold now, YHWH has restrained me from bearing [children]. Go in, please, to my maidservant; perhaps I shall be built up from her.” And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.
Genesis 16:3	And Sarai, wife of Abram, took Hagar the Egyptianess, her maidservant, after ten years [of] Abram dwelling in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to Abram, her husband, for a wife.
Genesis 16:4	And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress became despised in her eyes.
Genesis 16:5	And Sarai said to Abram, “My wrong [be] upon you. I gave my maidservant into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I became despised in her eyes. May YHWH judge between me and between you.”
Genesis 16:6	And Abram said to Sarai, “Indeed, your maidservant [is] in your hand. Do to her what is good in your eyes.” And Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she fled from her presence.
Genesis 16:7	And the angel of YHWH found her by the spring of waters in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.
Genesis 16:8	And He said, “Hagar, maidservant of Sarai, from where [is] this [that] you have come, and where are you going?” And she said, “From the presence of Sarai my mistress I am fleeing.”
Genesis 16:9	And the angel of YHWH said to her, “Return to your mistress and submit yourself under her hand.”
Genesis 16:10	And the angel of YHWH said to her, “I will greatly multiply your seed, and it shall not be counted for multitude.”
Genesis 16:11	And the angel of YHWH said to her, “Behold, you [are] conceiving, and you shall bear a son. And you shall call his name Ishmael, for YHWH has listened to your affliction.
Genesis 16:12	And He shall be a wild donkey [of a] man; His hand against everyone, and the hand of everyone against him, and over against the face of all his brothers he shall dwell.”
Genesis 16:13	And she called the name of YHWH who spoke to her: “You [are] El-Roi,” for she said, “Even here I have seen after Him who sees me?”
Genesis 16:14	Upon thus the well was called Beer-lahai-roi. Behold, [it is] between Kadesh and between Bered.
Genesis 16:15	And Hagar bore to Abram a son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar had borne, Ishmael.
Genesis 16:16	And Abram [was] a son of eighty years and six years when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.
Genesis 17:1	And Abram was a son of ninety years and nine years, and YHWH appeared to Abram and said to him, “I [am] El-Shaddai; walk before Me and be blameless.
Genesis 17:2	And I will make My covenant between Me and between you, and I will multiply you greatly, greatly.”
Genesis 17:3	And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying,
Genesis 17:4	“As for me, behold, My covenant [is] with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.
Genesis 17:5	And your name shall no longer be called Abram, and your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.
Genesis 17:6	I will make you fruitful—greatly, greatly—and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come out from you.
Genesis 17:7	And I will establish My covenant between Me and between you and between your seed after you throughout their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you, and to your seed after you.
Genesis 17:8	And I give to you and to your seed after you the land in which you are a sojourner—all the land of Canaan—as an everlasting possession. And I will be their God.”
Genesis 17:9	And God said to Abraham, “And as for you, you shall keep My covenant—you and your seed after you, throughout their generations.
Genesis 17:10	This [is] My covenant, which you⁺ shall keep between Me, and between you⁺, and between your seed after you: Every male child among you⁺ shall be circumcised.
Genesis 17:11	And you⁺ shall be circumcised in the flesh of your⁺ foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and between you⁺.
Genesis 17:12	And a son of eight days among you⁺ shall be circumcised—every male child in your⁺ generations who is born in your house or bought with silver from any son of a foreigner who is not of your seed.
Genesis 17:13	And he must surely be circumcised—he who is born in your house, or he who is bought with your silver. And My covenant shall be in your⁺ flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Genesis 17:14	And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, the soul [of] that one shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”
Genesis 17:15	And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah [is] her name.
Genesis 17:16	And I will bless her, and also I have given to you a son by her. And I have blessed her, and she has become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.”
Genesis 17:17	And Abraham fell on his face, and he laughed, and he said in his heart, “To a son of a hundred years shall [a child] be born? Or [shall] Sarah, a daughter of ninety years, bear [a child]?”
Genesis 17:18	And Abraham said to God, “O that Ishmael might live before You!”
Genesis 17:19	And God said, “Sarah your wife surely will bear to you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. And I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Genesis 17:20	And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him and I will make him fruitful and will multiply him greatly, greatly. Two [and] ten princes He shall beget, and I will make him into a great nation.
Genesis 17:21	And I will establish My covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this appointed time in the next year.”
Genesis 17:22	And He finished speaking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
Genesis 17:23	And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his silver—every male among the men in the house of Abraham—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskins on that very day, as God had spoken with him.
Genesis 17:24	And Abraham [was] a son of ninety-nine years when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:25	And Ishmael his son [was] a son of three and ten years when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis 17:26	And on that very day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son,
Genesis 17:27	and all the men of his house—born in the house or bought with silver from a son of a foreigner—were circumcised with him.
Genesis 18:1	And YHWH appeared to him by the Oaks of Mamre, and he was sitting in the entrance of the tent in the heat of the day.
Genesis 18:2	And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him. And he saw [them], and he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent, and he bowed himself to the earth.
Genesis 18:3	And he said, “My lord, if now I have found favor in your eyes, please, do not pass on by Your servant.
Genesis 18:4	Please let a little water be brought, and wash your⁺ feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.
Genesis 18:5	And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your⁺ hearts; afterward, you⁺ may pass on, for upon thus you⁺ have come to your⁺ servant.” And they said, “Yes, you may do as you have said.”
Genesis 18:6	And Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, “Quickly [take] three seahs of fine meal, knead [it], and make cakes.”
Genesis 18:7	And Abraham ran to the herd, and he took a tender and good son of the herd and gave [it] to the young man, and he hurried to prepare it.
Genesis 18:8	And he took butter and milk and the son of the herd that he had prepared, and he set [it] before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they ate.
Genesis 18:9	And they said to him, “Where [is] Sarah your wife?” And he said, “Behold, in the tent.”
Genesis 18:10	And He said, “I will surely return to you according to the time of life; and behold—a son to Sarah, your wife.” And Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, and it [was] behind him.
Genesis 18:11	And Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; it had ceased to be for Sarah the way of women.
Genesis 18:12	And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I am worn out, shall there be to me pleasure? And my lord is old!”
Genesis 18:13	And YHWH said to Abraham, “Why did this one, Sarah, laugh, saying, ‘Shall I truly bear [a child] when I am old?’
Genesis 18:14	Is any word is too difficult for YHWH? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and unto Sarah [will be] a son.”
Genesis 18:15	And Sarah denied [it], saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh.”
Genesis 18:16	And the men rose from there and looked on the face of Sodom, and Abraham walked with them to send them off.
Genesis 18:17	And YHWH said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing?
Genesis 18:18	And Abraham will surely become a nation great and mighty, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed.
Genesis 18:19	For I have known him in order that he may command his children and his house after him that they keep the way of YHWH by doing what is right and just, that YHWH may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him.”
Genesis 18:20	And YHWH said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and because their sin is very grievous,
Genesis 18:21	I will go down now and see whether the outcry against it that has come to Me they have done completely—and if not, I will know.”
Genesis 18:22	And the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, and Abraham still stood before YHWH.
Genesis 18:23	And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Genesis 18:24	Suppose there are fifty righteous in the midst of the city; would You also destroy and not spare the place for the sake of the fifty righteous who [are] within it?
Genesis 18:25	Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked. Far be it from You! Shall the Judge of all the earth not do justice?”
Genesis 18:26	And YHWH said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous in the midst of the city, then I will spare the whole place on their account.”
Genesis 18:27	And Abraham answered and said, “Behold, please, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord, and I [am] dust and ash.
Genesis 18:28	Suppose there are lacking five of the fifty righteous? Would You destroy for the five the whole city?” And He said, “I will not destroy [it] if I find there forty and five.”
Genesis 18:29	And he added again to speak to Him, and he said, “Suppose there should be found there forty?” And He said, “I will not do [it] on account of the forty.”
Genesis 18:30	And he said, “Please, may the Lord not be hot, and I will speak. Suppose there should be found thirty.” And He said, “I will not do [it] if I find there thirty.”
Genesis 18:31	And he said, “Behold, please, I have ventured to speak to the Lord. Suppose there should be found twenty.” And He said, “I will not destroy [it] on account of the twenty.”
Genesis 18:32	And he said, “Please may the Lord not be hot, and I will speak but once more. Suppose there should be found ten.” And He said, “I will not destroy [it] on account of the ten.”
Genesis 18:33	And YHWH went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
Genesis 19:1	And the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom. And Lot saw [them], and he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his nose to the earth.
Genesis 19:2	And he said, “Behold now, my lords, please, turn in to the house of your⁺ servant, and spend the night and wash your⁺ feet. And you⁺ may rise early and go on your⁺ way.” And they said, “No, for we will spend the night in the open square.”
Genesis 19:3	And he insisted on it strongly, and they turned in to him and entered into his house. And he made them a feast, and he baked unleavened [bread], and they ate.
Genesis 19:4	And before they lay down, the men of the city—the men of Sodom—encricled the house, from young to old, all the people from the end.
Genesis 19:5	And they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you this night? Bring them out to us that we may know them.”
Genesis 19:6	And Lot went out to them through the doorway, and he shut the door behind him.
Genesis 19:7	And he said, “Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.
Genesis 19:8	Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please let me bring them out to you⁺, and you⁺ may do to them according to what [is] good in your⁺ eyes. Only to these men do not anything, for upon thus they have come under the shadow of my roof.”
Genesis 19:9	And they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This one came in to sojourn, and he is already acting like a judge! Now we will act wickedly to you more than to them!” And they pressed hard against the man Lot, and they came near to break down the door.
Genesis 19:10	And the men stretched out their hands and pulled Lot with them into the house, and they shut the door.
Genesis 19:11	And they struck with blindness the men who [were] at the doorway of the house, from small and to great, and they grew weary [trying] to find the door.
Genesis 19:12	And the men said to Lot, “Who else do you have here—[your] son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whoever you have in the city? Get [them] out of the place.
Genesis 19:13	For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of YHWH, and YHWH has sent us to destroy it.”
Genesis 19:14	And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, the ones who had taken his daughters, and he said, “Get up, get out of this place, for YHWH will destroy the city.” And he seemed to be joking to his sons-in-law.
Genesis 19:15	And as the dawn came up, and the angels pressed Lot, saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be destroyed in the iniquity of the city.”
Genesis 19:16	And he lingered, and the men took hold of his hand and of the hand of his wife and of the hand of his two daughters—YHWH being merciful to him—and they brought him out and set him outside of the city.
Genesis 19:17	And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you nor stay in all the plain! Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed!”
Genesis 19:18	And Lot said to them, “No, please, my lords!
Genesis 19:19	Behold, please, your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have increased your kindness, which you have shown me by saving my life. And I am not able to escape to the mountains, lest the evil overtake me and I die.
Genesis 19:20	Behold, please, this city [is] near to flee there, and it [is] a small place. Let me escape there, please. Is it not a small place? And my soul shall live!”
Genesis 19:21	And he said to him, “Behold, I have sustained you also concerning this thing without overthrowing the city about which you have spoken.
Genesis 19:22	Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Upon thus the name of the city was called Zoar.
Genesis 19:23	When the sun had risen upon the earth and Lot had entered Zoar,
Genesis 19:24	then YHWH rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from YHWH out of the heavens.
Genesis 19:25	And He overthrew these cities, and all the plain, and all those dwelling in the cities, and what grew on the ground.
Genesis 19:26	And his wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis 19:27	And Abraham rose early in the morning [and went] to the place where he had stood there before the face of YHWH.
Genesis 19:28	And he looked toward the face of Sodom and Gomorrah and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw, and behold, smoke from the land went up like the smoke of the furnace.
Genesis 19:29	And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
Genesis 19:30	And Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he dwelt in the cave—he and his two daughters.
Genesis 19:31	And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father [is] old, and [there is] no man on the earth to come in to us, as is the way of all the earth.
Genesis 19:32	Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father.”
Genesis 19:33	And they made their father drink wine that night, and the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
Genesis 19:34	And it came to pass on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, “Indeed, last night I lay with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in [and] lie with him, that we may preserve the seed of our father.”
Genesis 19:35	And they made their father drink wine that night also, and the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.
Genesis 19:36	And the two daughters of Lot conceived by their father.
Genesis 19:37	And the firstborn bore a son, and she called his name Moab; he [is] the father of the Moabites to this day.
Genesis 19:38	And the younger, she also bore a son, and she called his name Ben-ammi; he [is] the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.
Genesis 20:1	And Abraham journeyed from there to the Negev, and he dwelt between Kadesh and between Shur, and he sojourned in Gerar.
Genesis 20:2	And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She [is] my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.
Genesis 20:3	And God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken—and she is married to a husband.”
Genesis 20:4	And Abimelech has not come near her, and he said, “Lord, will You slay even a righteous nation?
Genesis 20:5	Did not he say to me, ‘She [is] my sister’? And even she herself said, ‘He [is] my brother.’ In the integrity of my heart and in the innocence of my hands I have done this.”
Genesis 20:6	And God said to him in the dream, “Indeed, I myself knew that you did this in the integrity of your heart, and I withheld you, indeed I, from sinning against Me; upon thus I did not let you touch her.
Genesis 20:7	And now return the man’s wife, for he [is] a prophet. And he will pray for you, and you shall live. But if you do not return [her], know that you will surely die—you and all that is yours.”
Genesis 20:8	And Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants, and he told all these words in their ears; and the men were exceedingly afraid.
Genesis 20:9	And Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? Deeds that are not to be done, you have done to me.”
Genesis 20:10	And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see, that you have done this thing?”
Genesis 20:11	And Abraham said, “Because I thought, ‘Surely the fear of God [is] not in this place, and they will kill me on account of my wife.’
Genesis 20:12	And indeed she [is] also my sister, the daughter of my father but not the daughter of my mother. And she became my wife.
Genesis 20:13	And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from the house of my father, that I said to her, ‘This [is] your kindness that you should do for me: In every place where we go there, say of me, “He [is] my brother.”’”
Genesis 20:14	And Abimelech took flock, and cattle, and menservants, and maidservants, and he gave [them] to Abraham, and he returned to him Sarah his wife.
Genesis 20:15	And Abimelech said, “Behold, my land [is] before you. Dwell wherever is good in your eyes.”
Genesis 20:16	And to Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given a thousand [pieces] of silver to your brother; behold, it is for you a covering of the eyes, to all who [are] with you, and before all you are vindicated.”
Genesis 20:17	And Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants, and they bore [children].
Genesis 20:18	For YHWH had completely closed all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah the wife of Abraham.
Genesis 21:1	And YHWH visited Sarah as He had said, and YHWH did for Sarah as He had spoken.
Genesis 21:2	And Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:3	And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.
Genesis 21:4	And Abraham circumcised Isaac his son, a son of eight days, as God had commanded him.
Genesis 21:5	And Abraham [was] a son of a hundred years when Isaac his son was born to him.
Genesis 21:6	And Sarah said, “God has brought to me laughter; all who hear will laugh with me.”
Genesis 21:7	And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne a son in his old age.”
Genesis 21:8	And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.
Genesis 21:9	And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking [her son].
Genesis 21:10	And she said to Abraham, “Drive out this maidservant and her son, for the son of this maidservant shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.”
Genesis 21:11	And the matter was very displeasing in the eyes of Abraham, for the cause of his son.
Genesis 21:12	And God said to Abraham, “Let it not be wrong in your eyes because of the boy or because of your maidservant; all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice. For in Isaac your seed will be reckoned.
Genesis 21:13	Yet the son of the maidservant I will make into a nation, because he [is] your seed.”
Genesis 21:14	And Abraham rose early in the morning, and he took bread and a skin of water, and he gave [them] to Hagar, putting [them] on her shoulder, and the boy; and he sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Genesis 21:15	And the water was used up from the skin, and she cast the boy under one of the bushes.
Genesis 21:16	And she went and sat down by herself opposite [him], as distance of the shot of a bow, for she said, “Do not let me see the death of the boy.” And she sat opposite [him] and lifted up her voice and wept.
Genesis 21:17	And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of the heavens and said to her, “What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has listened to the voice of the boy where he [is] there.
Genesis 21:18	Arise, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation.”
Genesis 21:19	And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water, and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink.
Genesis 21:20	And God was with the boy, and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness and became a great archer.
Genesis 21:21	And He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
Genesis 21:22	And it came to pass at that time [that] Abimelech spoke, and Phichol the commander of his army, to Abraham, saying, “God [is] with you in all that you do.
Genesis 21:23	And now swear to me before God here that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in that you are sojourning.”
Genesis 21:24	And Abraham said, “I swear.”
Genesis 21:25	And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water that the servants of Abimelech had seized.
Genesis 21:26	And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing, and you did not tell me, and I has not heard [of it] until today.”
Genesis 21:27	And Abraham took flock and cattle and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them cut a covenant.
Genesis 21:28	And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Genesis 21:29	And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What [are] they—these seven ewe lambs that you have set by themselves?”
Genesis 21:30	And he said, “For [these] seven ewe lambs you will take from my hand, that it may be a witness for me that I have dug this well.”
Genesis 21:31	Upon thus, he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath.
Genesis 21:32	And they cut a covenant at Beersheba. And Abimelech rose, and Phichol the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.
Genesis 21:33	And he planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of YHWH El-Olam.
Genesis 21:34	And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
Genesis 22:1	And it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Behold, I [am here].”
Genesis 22:2	And He said, “Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell to you.”
Genesis 22:3	And Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and he took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and he arose and went to the place of which God had told to him.
Genesis 22:4	And on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and he saw the place from a distance.
Genesis 22:5	And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there, and we will worship, and we will come back to you⁺.”
Genesis 22:6	And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid [it] on Isaac his son, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and they went, the two of them, together.
Genesis 22:7	And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Behold, I [am here], my son.” And he said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, and where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Genesis 22:8	And Abraham said, “God will see for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” And they went, the two of them, together.
Genesis 22:9	And they came to the place that God had told him, and there Abraham built the altar and arranged the wood, and he bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Genesis 22:10	And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son.
Genesis 22:11	And the angel of YHWH called to him from the heavens and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Behold, I [am here].”
Genesis 22:12	And he said, “Do not stretch out your hand upon the boy, and do not do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.”
Genesis 22:13	And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram behind [him], caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Genesis 22:14	And Abraham called the name of that place “YHWH Yireh,” as it is said to this day, “On the mountain of YHWH it shall be seen.”
Genesis 22:15	And the angel of YHWH called to Abraham a second time from the heavens
Genesis 22:16	and said, “By Myself I have sworn, says YHWH, that because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only one,
Genesis 22:17	that I will surely bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which [is] on the shore of the sea; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.
Genesis 22:18	And in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed, because you have listened to My voice.”
Genesis 22:19	And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba. And Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Genesis 22:20	And it came to pass after these things that it was told to Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah has borne—even she—sons to Nahor your brother:
Genesis 22:21	Uz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Genesis 22:22	and Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.”
Genesis 22:23	And Bethuel begat Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.
Genesis 22:24	And his concubine (and her name [was] Reumah), she also bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maacah.
Genesis 23:1	And the lifetime of Sarah was a hundred years and twenty years and seven years; the years of the lifetime of Sarah.
Genesis 23:2	And Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that [is], Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep [for] her.
Genesis 23:3	And Abraham rose up from before his dead one, and he spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,
Genesis 23:4	“I [am] a sojourner and a stranger among you⁺; give to me a possession of a burial place with you⁺, that I may bury my dead from before me.”
Genesis 23:5	And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Genesis 23:6	“Hear us, my lord: You [are] a prince of God in our midst. In the choicest of our burial places bury your dead; none of us will withhold from you his burial place, from burying your dead.”
Genesis 23:7	And Abraham rose up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.
Genesis 23:8	And he spoke with them, saying, “If it is your⁺ desire that I bury my dead from before me, hear me and intercede for me with Ephron son of Zohar,
Genesis 23:9	that he may give to me the cave of Machpelah which [is] his, which [is] at the end of his field. For full silver let him give it to me, in your⁺ midst, as a possession of a burial place.”
Genesis 23:10	And Ephron was sitting in the midst of the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth—of all those entering at the gate of his city—saying,
Genesis 23:11	“No, my lord, hear me: The field I give to you, and the cave that [is] in it I give it to you; before the eyes of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead.”
Genesis 23:12	And Abraham bowed himself before the people of the land,
Genesis 23:13	and he spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, “Only if you—please—hear me: I give the silver for the field; take [it] from me, and I will bury my dead there.”
Genesis 23:14	And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Genesis 23:15	“My lord, hear me: Land [worth] four hundred shekels of silver—between me and between you, what [is] it? And bury your dead.”
Genesis 23:16	And Abraham listened to Ephron, and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver that he had spoken of in the ears of the sons of Heth—four hundred shekels of silver, passing with the merchant.
Genesis 23:17	And the field of Ephron that [was] in Machpelah, that [was] before Mamre—the field and the cave that [was] in it, and all the trees that [were] in the field, that [were] in all its surrounding border—was established
Genesis 23:18	to Abraham as a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, of all those entering at the gate of his city.
Genesis 23:19	And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (that [is], Hebron) in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 23:20	And the field and the cave that [is] in it were established to Abraham as a possession of a burial place from the sons of Heth.
Genesis 24:1	And Abraham was old, advanced in days. And YHWH had blessed Abraham in all things.
Genesis 24:2	And Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, the one who is ruling over all that is his, “Put, please, your hand under my thigh,
Genesis 24:3	and I will make you swear by YHWH, the God of the heavens and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, among whom I am dwelling.
Genesis 24:4	But to my land and to my kindred you shall go, and you shall take a wife for my son, for Isaac.”
Genesis 24:5	And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Shall I surely cause your son to return to the land from which you came?”
Genesis 24:6	And Abraham said to him, “Take heed to yourself that you do not take my son there.
Genesis 24:7	YHWH, God of the heavens, who took me from the house of my father and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your seed I will give this land’—He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.
Genesis 24:8	And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath. Only, my son you shall not cause to return there.”
Genesis 24:9	And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and he swore to him concerning this matter.
Genesis 24:10	And the servant took ten camels from the camels of his lord, and he went—with all the goods of his lord in his hand—and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, to the city of Nahor.
Genesis 24:11	And he made the camels kneel … outside of the city by the well of water at the time of the evening, the time of the coming out of the women who draw water.
Genesis 24:12	And he said, “YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, please cause it to happen before me today, and do kindness to my lord Abraham.
Genesis 24:13	Behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
Genesis 24:14	And it shall be that the young woman to whom I say, ‘Let down, please, your jar, and I will drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and also I will water your camels,’ she [is the one] You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have done kindness to my lord.”
Genesis 24:15	And it came to pass, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, the brother of Abraham, was coming out, and her jar [was] on her shoulder.
Genesis 24:16	And the young woman [was] very beautiful of appearance, a virgin, and no man had known her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.
Genesis 24:17	And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your jar.”
Genesis 24:18	And she said, “Drink, my lord.” And she hurried and lowered her jar upon her hand and gave him a drink.
Genesis 24:19	And she finished giving him a drink, and she said, “Also for your camels I will draw until … they have finished drinking.”
Genesis 24:20	And she hurried, and she emptied her jar into the trough, and she ran again to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.
Genesis 24:21	And the man gazed at her remaining silent, to know whether YHWH had made his way prosperous or not.
Genesis 24:22	And it came to pass, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ring, a beka its weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten [shekels] of gold their weight.
Genesis 24:23	And he said, “Whose daughter [are] you? Tell me, please. Is there a place in the house of your father for us to lodge?”
Genesis 24:24	And she said to him, “I [am] the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
Genesis 24:25	And she said to him, “Both straw and feed [are] abundant with us, and also a place to lodge.”
Genesis 24:26	And the man bowed his head and worshiped to YHWH.
Genesis 24:27	And he said, “Blessed [be] YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who has not forsaken His kindness and His truth toward my lord; I, being on the way, YHWH has led me to the house of the brother of my lord.”
Genesis 24:28	And the young woman ran, and told these words to the house of her mother.
Genesis 24:29	And Rebekah had a brother, and his name [was] Laban; and Laban ran to the man, out to the spring.
Genesis 24:30	And it came to pass, when he saw the ring and the bracelets on the hands of his sister, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, “Thus the man spoke to me,” then he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.
Genesis 24:31	And he said, “Come in, blessed of YHWH. Why do you stand outside? And I have cleared the house and a place for the camels.”
Genesis 24:32	And the man came into the house, and he loosened the camels, and he gave straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who [were] with him.
Genesis 24:33	And [food] was set before him to eat, and he said, “I will not eat until … I have spoken my words.” And he said, “Speak.”
Genesis 24:34	And he said, “I [am] Abraham’s servant.
Genesis 24:35	And YHWH has blessed my lord greatly, and he has become great; and He has given to him flock and cattle, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and donkeys.
Genesis 24:36	And Sarah, wife of my lord, bore a son to my lord after her old age, and he has given to him all that is his.
Genesis 24:37	And my lord made me swear, saying, ‘You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I am dwelling.
Genesis 24:38	But rather, to the house of my father you shall go, and to my kindred, and you shall take a wife for my son.’
Genesis 24:39	And I said to my lord, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me?’
Genesis 24:40	And he said to me, ‘YHWH, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and will prosper your way, and you shall take a wife for my son from my kindred and from the house of my father.
Genesis 24:41	Then you will be clear from my oath—when you come to my kindred; and if they do not give [her] to you, then you will be released from my oath.’
Genesis 24:42	And I came today to the spring and I said, ‘YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, if now You will prosper the way on which I am going—"
Genesis 24:43	behold, I am standing by the spring of water, and let it be that the virgin who comes out to draw [water], and I say to her, ‘Give me to drink, please, a little water from your jar,’
Genesis 24:44	and she says to me, ‘Drink, and I will draw’ for you and also for your camels, she [is] the woman whom YHWH has appointed for the son of my lord.
Genesis 24:45	And before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah was coming out, and her jar [was] on her shoulder. And she went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, ‘Give me a drink, please.’
Genesis 24:46	And she hurried and lowered her jar from herself and said, ‘Drink, and also your camels I will give drink.’ And I drank, and also she gave a drink [to] the camels.
Genesis 24:47	And I asked her and said, ‘Whose daughter [are] you?’ And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, son of Nahor, whom Milcah bore to him.’ And I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.
Genesis 24:48	And I bowed my head and worshiped to YHWH, and I blessed YHWH, God of my lord Abraham, who led me in the way of truth to take the daughter [of the] brother [of my] lord for his son.
Genesis 24:49	And now if you⁺ are doing kindness and truth with my lord, tell me; and if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right or to the left.”
Genesis 24:50	And Laban answered—and Bethuel—and they said, “From YHWH the matter has gone out; we are not able to speak to you evil or good.
Genesis 24:51	Behold, Rebekah [is] before you; take [her] and go, and let her be wife to the son of your lord, as YHWH has spoken.”
Genesis 24:52	And it came to pass, when the servant of Abraham heard their words, that bowed himself to the earth before YHWH.
Genesis 24:53	And the servant brought out articles of silver, and articles of gold, and clothing, and he gave [them] to Rebekah; and precious things he gave to her brother and to her mother.
Genesis 24:54	And they ate and they drank, he and the men who [were] with him, and they spent the night there. And they arose in the morning, and he said, “Send me away to my lord.”
Genesis 24:55	And her brother said—and her mother—“Let the young woman stay with us [a few] days, or ten [days]. Afterward she may go.”
Genesis 24:56	And he said to them, “Do not delay me, since YHWH has prospered my way. Send me away so that I may go to my lord.”
Genesis 24:57	And they said, “Let us call for the young woman and let us ask at her mouth.”
Genesis 24:58	And they called for Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”
Genesis 24:59	And they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and the servant of Abraham and his men.
Genesis 24:60	And they blessed Rebekah and said to her, “May you, our sister, become the [mother] of thousands of myriads, and may your seed possess the gate of those who hate him.”
Genesis 24:61	And Rebekah and her young women arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. And the servant took Rebekah and departed.
Genesis 24:62	And Isaac had come in from the entrance to Beer-lahai-roi, and he was dwelling in the Negev.
Genesis 24:63	And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, camels [were] coming.
Genesis 24:64	And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and she saw Isaac, and she fell from upon the camel.
Genesis 24:65	And she said to the servant, “Who [is] this man, the one walking in the field to meet us?” And the servant said, “He is my lord.” And she took the veil and covered herself.
Genesis 24:66	And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.
Genesis 24:67	And Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife. And he loved her, and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s [death].
Genesis 25:1	And Abraham again took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.
Genesis 25:2	And she bore to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Genesis 25:3	And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurites, and Letushites, and Leummites.
Genesis 25:4	And the sons of Midian [were] Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] sons of Keturah.
Genesis 25:5	And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Genesis 25:6	And to the sons of the concubines unto Abraham, Abraham gave gifts, and he sent them away from Isaac his son while [he was] still living eastward, to the land of the east.
Genesis 25:7	And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived: A hundred years and seventy years and five years.
Genesis 25:8	And Abraham expired, and he died at a good old age, old and satisfied, and he was gathered to his people.
Genesis 25:9	And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite which [is] before Mamre—
Genesis 25:10	the field that Abraham had purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
Genesis 25:11	And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt near Beer-lahai-roi.
Genesis 25:12	And these [are] the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptianess, maidservant of Sarah, bore to Abraham.
Genesis 25:13	And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: Nebajoth the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Genesis 25:14	and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Genesis 25:15	Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
Genesis 25:16	These were the sons of Ishmael, and these [were] their names, by their towns and their settlements—two [and] ten princes according to their tribes.
Genesis 25:17	And these [were] the years of the life of Ishmael: A hundred years and thirty years and seven years. And he expired and died, and he was gathered to his people.
Genesis 25:18	And they dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which [is] before Egypt, as you go toward Asshur; Against the faces of all his brothers has he fallen.
Genesis 25:19	And these [are] the generations of Isaac son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac,
Genesis 25:20	and Isaac was a son of forty years when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean from Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him as wife.
Genesis 25:21	And Isaac entreated YHWH for his wife, because she [was] barren. And YHWH was entreated for him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Genesis 25:22	And the children struggled together within her, and she said, “If so, why this I?” And she went to inquire of YHWH.
Genesis 25:23	And YHWH said to her, “Two nations [are] in your womb, and two peoples from your bowels shall be separated; and one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
Genesis 25:24	And her days to give birth were fulfilled, and indeed [there were] twins in her womb.
Genesis 25:25	And the first came out ruddy all over, hairy like a cloak, and they called his name Esau.
Genesis 25:26	And afterward his brother came out, and his hand was grasping at the heel of Esau, and he called his name Jacob. And Isaac [was] a son of sixty years when she bore them.
Genesis 25:27	And the boys grew, and Esau was a skillful man, a hunter and a man of the field; Jacob was a blameless man, dwelling in tents.
Genesis 25:28	And Isaac loved Esau because of the game in his mouth, and Rebekah loved Jacob.
Genesis 25:29	And Jacob boiled a stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he [was] weary.
Genesis 25:30	And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me gulp down, please, from the red, the red, this one, for I [am] weary!” (Upon thus his name was called Edom.)
Genesis 25:31	And Jacob said, “Sell—today—your birthright to me.”
Genesis 25:32	And Esau said, “Behold, I [am] going to die; and for what [is] this birthright to me?”
Genesis 25:33	And Jacob said, “Swear to me today.” And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Genesis 25:34	And Jacob gave to Esau bread and stew of lentils, and he ate and he drank, and he arose and went; and Esau despised the birthright.
Genesis 26:1	And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines in Gerar.
Genesis 26:2	And YHWH appeared to him and said, “Do not go down to Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell to you.
Genesis 26:3	Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and I will bless you. For to you and to your seed I will give all these lands, and I will confirm the oath that I swore to Abraham your father.
Genesis 26:4	And I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and I will give to your seed all these lands. And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed,
Genesis 26:5	because Abraham listened to My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”
Genesis 26:6	And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.
Genesis 26:7	And the men of that place asked about his wife, and he said, “She [is] my sister.” For he was afraid to say, “[She is] my wife,” lest the men of the place kill me on account of Rebekah, because she [is] beautiful of appearance.
Genesis 26:8	And it came to pass, when the days had been prolonged to him there, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through the window, and he saw—and behold—Isaac was caressing Rebekah his wife.
Genesis 26:9	And Abimelech called to Isaac and said, “Surely behold, she [is] your wife! And how did you say, ‘She [is] my sister?’” And Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘lest I die on account of her.’”
Genesis 26:10	And Abimelech said, “What [is] this you have done to us? One of the people had almost lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.”
Genesis 26:11	And Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, “The one who touches this man or his wife, he shall surely be put to death.”
Genesis 26:12	And Isaac sowed in that land, and he reaped in that year a hundred fold, and YHWH blessed him.
Genesis 26:13	And the man became great, and he went on, going on and becoming greater, until that he became very great.
Genesis 26:14	And he had a possession of flock, and a possession of cattle, and much service; and the Philistines envied him.
Genesis 26:15	And all the wells that the servants of his father had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped them up and filled them with earth.
Genesis 26:16	And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go from us, for you have become much mightier than we.”
Genesis 26:17	And Isaac departed from there and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and he dwelt there.
Genesis 26:18	And Isaac returned dug the wells of water that they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he called to them names, according to the names that his father had called them.
Genesis 26:19	And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and they found there a well of living water.
Genesis 26:20	And the shepherds of Gerar strove with the shepherds of Isaac, saying, “The water [is] ours!” And he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.
Genesis 26:21	And they dug another well, and they strove also over it. And he called its name Sitnah.
Genesis 26:22	And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not strive over it. And he called its name Rehoboth and said, “For now YHWH has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
Genesis 26:23	And he went up from there to Beersheba.
Genesis 26:24	And YHWH appeared to him in that night and said, “I [am] the God of Abraham your father; do not fear, for I [am] with you, and I will bless you and I will multiply your seed for the sake of Abraham My servant.”
Genesis 26:25	And he built there an altar and called on the name of YHWH. And he pitched there his tent, and there the servants of Isaac dug a well.
Genesis 26:26	And Abimelech came to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his companion, and Phichol the commander of his army.
Genesis 26:27	And Isaac said to them, “Why have you⁺ come to me? And you⁺—you⁺ hated me and you⁺ sent me away from you⁺.”
Genesis 26:28	And they said, “We have surely seen that YHWH has been with you, and we said, let there be, please, an oath between us—between us and between you—and let us cut a covenant with you,
Genesis 26:29	that you will do to us [no] evil, since we have not touched you, and since we have done to you only good and sent you away in peace. You [are] now blessed of YHWH!”
Genesis 26:30	And he made for them a feast, and they ate and they drank.
Genesis 26:31	And they arose early in the morning, and they swore, a man to his brother; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Genesis 26:32	And it came to pass on that day that the servants of Isaac came and told to him about the circumstances of the well that they had dug, and they said to him, “We have found water.”
Genesis 26:33	And he called it Shibah; upon thus the name of the city [is] Beersheba to this day.
Genesis 26:34	And Esau was a son of forty years, and he took a wife, Judith, daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and also Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite,
Genesis 26:35	and they were a bitterness of spirit to Isaac and to Rebekah.
Genesis 27:1	And it came to pass when Isaac was old and his eyes were dim for seeing, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son,” and he answered him, “Behold, [it is] I.”
Genesis 27:2	And he said, “Behold, please, I have grown old; I do not know the day of my death.
Genesis 27:3	And now take, please, your weapons—your quiver and your bow—and go out to the field, and hunt for me game.
Genesis 27:4	And make for me savory foods, as I have loved, and bring them to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
Genesis 27:5	And Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring [it].
Genesis 27:6	And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Behold, I have heard your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,
Genesis 27:7	‘Bring me game and make for me savory foods, and I will eat and bless you before YHWH before my death.’
Genesis 27:8	And now, my son, listen to my voice, according to what I am commanding you.
Genesis 27:9	Go now to the flock and take for me from there two good kids of the goats, and I will make them savory foods for your father, as he loves.
Genesis 27:10	And you shall bring [it] to your father that he may eat [it], so that he may bless you before his death.”
Genesis 27:11	And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man.
Genesis 27:12	Perhaps my father will feel me, and I will be in his eyes as a deceiver, and I shall bring on myself a curse and not a blessing.”
Genesis 27:13	And his mother said to him, “Let your curse [be] on me, my son. Only listen to my voice and go get [them] for me.”
Genesis 27:14	And he went and he got [them] and he brought [them] to his mother; and his mother made savory foods, as his father loved.
Genesis 27:15	And Rebekah took the finest clothes of Esau her elder son that [were] with her in the house, and she clothed Jacob her younger son.
Genesis 27:16	And the skins of the kids of the goats she put on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.
Genesis 27:17	And she gave the savory foods and the bread that she had made into the hand of Jacob her son.
Genesis 27:18	And he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Behold, [it is] I. Who [are] you, my son?”
Genesis 27:19	And Jacob said to his father, “I [am] Esau, your firstborn. I have done as you told to me. Arise, please, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.”
Genesis 27:20	And Isaac said to his son, “What [is] this—you have so quickly found [it], my son?” And he said, “Because YHWH your God caused it to happen before me.”
Genesis 27:21	And Isaac said to Jacob, “Come near, please, and I will feel you, my son—are you he, my son Esau, or not?”
Genesis 27:22	And Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice [is] the voice of Jacob, and the hands [are] the hands of Esau.”
Genesis 27:23	And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother. And he blessed him,
Genesis 27:24	and he said, “Are you he, my son Esau?” And he said, “I [am].”
Genesis 27:25	And He said, “Bring [it] near to me and I will eat of the game, my son, so that my soul may bless you.” And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and he brought to him wine, and he drank.
Genesis 27:26	And Isaac his father said to him, “Come near, please, and kiss me, my son.”
Genesis 27:27	And he came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and he blessed him and said, “See, the smell of my son [is] like the smell of a field that YHWH has blessed.
Genesis 27:28	And may God give to you from the dew of the heavens, and from the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and new wine.
Genesis 27:29	May peoples serve you and may nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. Those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”
Genesis 27:30	And it came to pass, as Isaac finished blessing Jacob, then it came to pass—Jacob [had] only just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father—that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Genesis 27:31	And he also made savory foods and he brought [them] to his father, and he said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of the game of his son, that your soul may bless me.”
Genesis 27:32	And Isaac his father said to him, “Who [are] you?” And he said, “I [am] your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Genesis 27:33	And Isaac trembled with an exceedingly great trembling, and said, “Who then is the one who hunted game and brought [it] to me, and I ate of [it] all before you came, and I have blessed him? [And] indeed, he shall be blessed.”
Genesis 27:34	And Esau heard the words of his father, and he cried out an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and he said to his father, “Bless me also, my father!”
Genesis 27:35	And he said, “Your brother came with deceit and took your blessing.”
Genesis 27:36	And [Esau] said, “Is it because his name is called Jacob? And he has supplanted me these two times. He has taken my birthright, and behold, now he has taken my blessing.” And he said, “Have you not reserved for me a blessing?”
Genesis 27:37	And Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Behold, I have made him master over you, and all his brothers I have given to him as servants, and grain and new wine I have sustained him with; and for you now, what shall I do, my son?”
Genesis 27:38	And Esau said to his father, “[Is] it one blessing, that you have my father? Bless me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Genesis 27:39	And Isaac his father answered and said to him, “Behold, from the fatness of the earth shall be your dwelling, and from the dew of the heavens above.
Genesis 27:40	And by your sword you shall live, and your brother you shall serve. And it shall come to pass when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
Genesis 27:41	And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father draw near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Genesis 27:42	And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah, and she sent and called for Jacob her younger son, and she said to him, “Behold, Esau your brother is comforting himself concerning you, to kill you.
Genesis 27:43	And now, my son, listen to my voice, and arise—flee for yourself to Laban my brother in Haran.
Genesis 27:44	And you shall stay with him a few days, until the fury of your brother turns back—
Genesis 27:45	until the anger of your brother turns away from you. And he forgets that which you did to him. Then I will send and I will take you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you⁺ both [in] one day?”
Genesis 27:46	And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, why to me [is] life?”
Genesis 28:1	And Isaac called to Jacob, and he blessed him, and he commanded him and said to him, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Genesis 28:2	Arise, go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, the father of your mother, and take for yourself from there a wife from the daughters of Laban, the brother of your mother.
Genesis 28:3	And may El-Shaddai bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and you shall be an assembly of peoples.
Genesis 28:4	And may He give to you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your seed with you, to inherit the land of your sojourning which God gave to Abraham.”
Genesis 28:5	And Isaac sent away Jacob, and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Genesis 28:6	And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan-aram to take for himself from there a wife, and as he blessed him, he commanded him, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.”
Genesis 28:7	And Jacob listened to his father and to his mother and he went to Paddan-aram.
Genesis 28:8	And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan [were] evil in the eyes of Isaac his father.
Genesis 28:9	And Esau went to Ishmael, and he took as his wife Mahalath daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham [and] sister of Nebajoth, in addition to the wives unto him.
Genesis 28:10	And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Genesis 28:11	And he came to the place and he lodged there because the sun had set, and he took from the stones of the place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place.
Genesis 28:12	And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder [was] set up on the earth, and its top reached to the heavens. And behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Genesis 28:13	And behold, YHWH was standing above it and said, “I [am] YHWH, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. The land on which you are lying—to you I will give it, and to your seed.
Genesis 28:14	And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall break forth to the west, and east, and north, and south. And all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your seed.
Genesis 28:15	And behold, I [am] with you and will keep you in every [place] that you go, and I will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until that I have done what I have spoken to you.”
Genesis 28:16	And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely YHWH is in this place, and I—I did not know [it].”
Genesis 28:17	And he feared and he said, “How awesome this place is! This [is] none other than the house of God! And this [is] the gate of the heavens!”
Genesis 28:18	And Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head, and he set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.
Genesis 28:19	And he called the name of that place Bethel, but Luz was the name of the city at the first.
Genesis 28:20	And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I am going and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear,
Genesis 28:21	so that I may return in peace to the house of my father, then YHWH will be my God.
Genesis 28:22	And this stone that I have set up as a pillar shall be a house of God, and all that You give to me, I will surely tithe it to You.”
Genesis 29:1	And Jacob lifted his feet and he went to the land of the sons of the East.
Genesis 29:2	And he looked, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, there [were] three flocks of sheep lying by it, for from that well they watered the flocks. And the stone [was] great on the mouth of the well.
Genesis 29:3	And all the flocks would be gathered there, and they would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and they would water the sheep, and they would return the stone on the mouth of the well to its place.
Genesis 29:4	And Jacob said to them, “My brothers, from where [are] you⁺?” And they said, “We [are] from Haran.”
Genesis 29:5	And he said to them, “Do you⁺ know Laban son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know [him].”
Genesis 29:6	And he said to them, “[Is it] well with him?” And they said, “[It is] well, and behold, Rachel his daughter is coming with the sheep.”
Genesis 29:7	And he said, “Behold, [it is] still broad daylight; [it is] not time for the livestock to be gathered together. Water the sheep and go pasture them.”
Genesis 29:8	And they said, “We are not able until that all the flocks are gathered together and they have rolled the stone from the mouth of the well; then we will water the sheep.”
Genesis 29:9	He was still speaking with them, and Rachel came with the sheep that belonged to her father, for she was a shepherdess.
Genesis 29:10	And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, the brother of his mother, and the sheep of Laban, the brother of his mother, that Jacob drew near and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well, and he watered the sheep of Laban, the brother of his mother.
Genesis 29:11	And Jacob kissed Rachel, and he lifted up his voice and wept.
Genesis 29:12	And Jacob told to Rachel that he [was] a brother of her father, and that he [was] a son of Rebekah. And she ran and told it to her father.
Genesis 29:13	And it came to pass when Laban heard the report about Jacob, the son of his sister, that he ran to meet him, and he embraced him and he kissed him, and he brought him to his house. And he told to Laban all these things.
Genesis 29:14	And Laban said to him, “Surely my bone and my flesh you [are].” And he dwelt with him a month of days.
Genesis 29:15	And Laban said to Jacob, “Because you [are] my brother, then should you serve me for nothing? Tell me, what [is] your wage?”
Genesis 29:16	And Laban had two daughters; the name of the older [was] Leah, and the name of the younger [was] Rachel.
Genesis 29:17	And Leah’s eyes [were] tender, and Rachel was beautiful of form and beautful of appearance.
Genesis 29:18	And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter.”
Genesis 29:19	And Laban said, “[It is] better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Dwell with me.”
Genesis 29:20	And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were to him a few days, because of his love for her.
Genesis 29:21	And Jacob said to Laban, “Give [me] my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Genesis 29:22	And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and he made a feast.
Genesis 29:23	And it came to pass in the evening that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him, and he went in to her.
Genesis 29:24	And Laban gave to her Zilpah his maidservant, to Leah his daughter, [as] a maidservant.
Genesis 29:25	And it came to pass in the morning that behold, it [was] Leah! And he said to Laban, “What [is] this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? And why have you deceived me?”
Genesis 29:26	And Laban said, “It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Genesis 29:27	Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give to you also this one for the service that you will serve with me—yet another seven years.”
Genesis 29:28	And Jacob did so, and he fulfilled the week of this one; and he gave to him Rachel his daughter, to him, for a wife.
Genesis 29:29	And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his maidservant, to her as a maidservant.
Genesis 29:30	And he went in also to Rachel, and he loved Rachel also, more than Leah, and he served with him yet another seven years.
Genesis 29:31	And YHWH saw that Leah [was] hated, and He opened her womb, and Rachel [was] barren.
Genesis 29:32	And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, “Surely YHWH has looked on my affliction; for now my husband will love me.”
Genesis 29:33	And she conceived again and bore a son and she said, “Surely YHWH has heard that I [am] hated, and He has given to me also this one.” And she called his name Simeon.
Genesis 29:34	And she conceived again and bore a son and she said, “Now this time my husband will join himself to me, because I have borne to him three sons.” Upon thus his name was called Levi.
Genesis 29:35	And she conceived again and bore a son and she said, “This time I will praise YHWH.” Upon thus she called his name Judah. And she stopped bearing.
Genesis 30:1	And Rachel saw that she was not bearing [children] to Jacob, and Rachel was envious of her sister and she said to Jacob, “Give to me sons, and if not, I will die.”
Genesis 30:2	And the anger of Jacob burned against Rachel, and he said, “[Am] I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Genesis 30:3	And she said, “Behold, my maidservant Bilhah; go in to her, and she will bear [children] on my knees, and I also shall be built up from her.”
Genesis 30:4	And she gave to him Bilhah her maidservant for a wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Genesis 30:5	And Bilhah conceived, and bore to Jacob a son.
Genesis 30:6	And Rachel said, “God has judged me, and He has also heard my voice, and has given to me a son.” Upon thus she called his name Dan.
Genesis 30:7	And Bilhah, the maidservant of Rachel, conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob.
Genesis 30:8	And Rachel said, “With wrestlings of God I have wrestled with my sister, and indeed I have prevailed.” And she called his name Naphtali.
Genesis 30:9	And Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, and she took Zilpah her maidservant, and gave her to Jacob for a wife.
Genesis 30:10	And Zilpah, the maidservant of Leah, bore to Jacob a son.
Genesis 30:11	And Leah said, “How fortunate!” And she called his name Gad.
Genesis 30:12	And Zilpah, the maidservant of Leah, bore a second son to Jacob.
Genesis 30:13	And Leah said, “I am happy, for the daughters will call me happy.” And she called his name Asher.
Genesis 30:14	And Reuben went in the days of the harvest of wheat, and he found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to Leah his mother. And Rachel said to Leah, “Please give to me [some] of the mandrakes of your son.”
Genesis 30:15	And she said to her, “Is [it] a small [matter] your taking my husband, that you would also take the mandrakes of my son?” And Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for the mandrakes of your son.”
Genesis 30:16	And Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and she said, “You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with the mandrakes of my son.” And he lay with her that night.
Genesis 30:17	And God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and she bore to Jacob a fifth son.
Genesis 30:18	And Leah said, “God has given me my reward, because I have given my maidservant to my husband.” And she called his name Issachar.
Genesis 30:19	And Leah conceived again, and she bore a sixth son to Jacob.
Genesis 30:20	And Leah said, “God has endowed me—me—[with a] good endowment; this time my husband will honor me, for I have borne to him six sons.” And she called his name Zebulun.
Genesis 30:21	And afterward she bore a daughter, and she called her name Dinah.
Genesis 30:22	And God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and He opened her womb.
Genesis 30:23	And she conceived, and she bore a son and she said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Genesis 30:24	And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May YHWH add to me another son.”
Genesis 30:25	And it came to pass when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my place and to my land.
Genesis 30:26	Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served you, and I will go. For you—you know my service which I have served you.”
Genesis 30:27	And Laban said to him, “Please [stay], if I have found favor in your eyes. I have learned by divination that YHWH has blessed me for your sake.”
Genesis 30:28	And he said, “Specify your wage to me, and I will give [it].”
Genesis 30:29	And he said to him, “You—you know how I have served you, and how your livestock has been with me.
Genesis 30:30	For little [was] what you had before me, and it has burst forth into a multitude, and YHWH has blessed you at my foot. And now, when shall I provide also for my own house?”
Genesis 30:31	And he said, “What shall I give to you?” And Jacob said, “You shall not give to me anything. If you will do for me this thing, I will turn back; I will pasture your flock, I will keep [it].
Genesis 30:32	I will pass through all your flock today; remove from there every one speckled and spotted, and every brown one among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. And [these] shall be my wage.
Genesis 30:33	And my righteousness will answer for me in time to come, when you come upon my wage before your face—every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs—it was stolen if it is with me.”
Genesis 30:34	And Laban said, “Behold—oh that it were according to your word.”
Genesis 30:35	And that day he removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the brown among the lambs, and he gave [them] into the hand of his sons.
Genesis 30:36	And he put a journey of three days between himself and between Jacob, and Jacob was pasturing the flock of Laban, the remaining ones.
Genesis 30:37	And Jacob took for himself rods of fresh poplar and of almond and plane tree, and he peeled in them white stripes exposing the white that [was] in the rods.
Genesis 30:38	And he set the rods that he had peeled in the channels, in the watering troughs, where the flock came to drink—before the flock—and they conceived when they came to drink.
Genesis 30:39	And the flock conceived before the rods, and the flock brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted ones.
Genesis 30:40	And Jacob separated the lambs, and he set the face [of] the flock toward the striped, and all the brown in the flock of Laban. And he set for himself flocks by themselves, and he did not set them with the flock of Laban.
Genesis 30:41	And it came to pass whenever the strong of the flock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the flock in the channels, that they might conceive in front of the ro ds.
Genesis 30:42	And the flock [that] were feeble, he did not put [them] in. So the feeble ones were to Laban, and the strong ones to Jacob.
Genesis 30:43	And the man burst forth greatly, greatly, and he had to him many flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Genesis 31:1	And [Jacob] heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken away everything that belonged to our father, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth.”
Genesis 31:2	And Jacob saw the face of Laban, and behold, it [was] not with him as yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Genesis 31:3	And YHWH said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.”
Genesis 31:4	And Jacob sent and called for Rachel and for Leah to the field, to his flock,
Genesis 31:5	and he said to them, “I can see the face of your⁺ father, that it [is] not toward me as yesterday and the day before yesterday; and the God of my father has been with me.
Genesis 31:6	And you⁺ know that with all my strength I have served your⁺ father.
Genesis 31:7	And your⁺ father has deceived me, and has changed my wage ten times; and God did not allow him to do evil with me.
Genesis 31:8	If he said thus: ‘The speckled shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore speckled. And if he said thus: ‘The striped shall be your wage,’ then all the flock bore stripes.
Genesis 31:9	And God has snatched away the livestock of your⁺ father and gave [them] to me.
Genesis 31:10	And it came to pass at the time the flock was conceiving, that I lifted my eyes and saw in the dream, and behold, the male goats going up on the flock [were] striped, speckled, and spotted.
Genesis 31:11	And the angel of God said to me in the dream, ‘Jacob!’ And I said, ‘Behold, [it is] I.’
Genesis 31:12	And He said, ‘Lift up now your eyes and see, all the he-goats going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.
Genesis 31:13	I [am] the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you vowed to Me a vow. Now arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.’”
Genesis 31:14	And Rachel and Leah answered and they said to him, “Is there still for us a portion and an inheritance in the house of our father?
Genesis 31:15	Are we not considered by him strangers, for he has sold us and he has indeed eaten our silver.
Genesis 31:16	For all the riches that God has snatched away from our father are ours and our children’s. And now, all that God has said to you—do.”
Genesis 31:17	And Jacob rose and lifted his sons and his wives on the camels,
Genesis 31:18	and he drove all his livestock, and all his possessions that he had gotten, the livestock of his acquiring that he had gotten in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father, in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 31:19	And Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel stole the teraphim that belonged to her father.
Genesis 31:20	And Jacob stole the heart of Laban the Aramaean, by not telling him that he was fleeing.
Genesis 31:21	And he fled—he and all that [was] unto him—and He rose and he passed over the River and set his face [toward] the hill country of Gilead.
Genesis 31:22	And it was told to Laban on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Genesis 31:23	And he took his brothers with him, and pursued after him a journey of seven days, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
Genesis 31:24	And God came to Laban the Aramaean in a dream of the night and said to him, “Guard yourself, lest you speak to Jacob from good to evil.”
Genesis 31:25	And Laban overtook Jacob. And Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban pitched [his tent] with his brothers in the hill country of Gilead.
Genesis 31:26	And Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? And you have stolen my heart, and you have driven my daughters like captives of the sword!
Genesis 31:27	Why have you fled secretly and stolen from me and not told me? And I would have sent you away with joy and with songs, with tambourines and with harps?
Genesis 31:28	And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters! Now you have acted foolishly in doing [this].
Genesis 31:29	It is in the power of my hand to do with you⁺ evil; but the God of your⁺ father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Guard yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.’
Genesis 31:30	And you have surely gone away because you have surely longed for the house of your father. Why did you steal my gods?”
Genesis 31:31	And Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said: Lest you take by force your daughters from me.
Genesis 31:32	With whomever you find your gods, he shall not live; before our brothers discern what of yours [is] with me, and take [it] with you.” And Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Genesis 31:33	And Laban went into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two maidservants, and he did not find [anything]. And he went out of the tent of Leah and entered into the tent of Rachel.
Genesis 31:34	And Rachel had taken the teraphim and put them in the saddle of the camel, and sat on them. And Laban felt all about the tent, and he did not find [them].
Genesis 31:35	And she said to her father, “Do not let it burn in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise before you, for the way of women [is] with me.” And he searched and he did not find the teraphim.
Genesis 31:36	And Jacob's anger burned, and he strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, “What [is] my trespass? What [is] my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?
Genesis 31:37	For you have felt about all my things, what have you found of all the things of your house? Set [it] here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between the two of us.
Genesis 31:38	These twenty years I [have been] with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten.
Genesis 31:39	That which was torn I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. From my hand you required it, [whether] stolen by day or stolen by night.
Genesis 31:40	[There] I was: In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost in the night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
Genesis 31:41	This [is] my twentieth year in your house. I served you four [and] ten years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wage ten times.
Genesis 31:42	Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen, my affliction and the toil of my hands and He judged last night.”
Genesis 31:43	And Laban answered and said to Jacob, “[These] daughters [are] my daughters, and [these] sons [are] my sons, and the flock [is] my flock, and all that you see is mine. And for my daughters, what can I do to these today, or to their sons whom they have borne?
Genesis 31:44	And now, come, let us cut a covenant, I and you; and let it be a witness between me and between you.”
Genesis 31:45	And Jacob took a stone and raised it up [as] a pillar.
Genesis 31:46	And Jacob said to his brothers, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.
Genesis 31:47	And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha, and Jacob called it Galeed.
Genesis 31:48	And Laban said, “This [is] the heap—a witness between me and between you today.” Upon thus he called its name Galeed,
Genesis 31:49	and Mizpah, because he said, “May YHWH watch between me and between you when we are hidden one from another.
Genesis 31:50	If you afflict my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, [although] no man [is] with us, see [that] God [is] witness between me and between you.”
Genesis 31:51	And Laban said to Jacob, “Behold, this [is] the heap, and behold, the pillar that I have placed between me and between you.
Genesis 31:52	This heap [is] a witness, and the pillar [is] a witness, that I will not pass over this heap to you, and that you will not pass over this heap and this pillar to me, for evil.
Genesis 31:53	The God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge between us.” And Jacob swore by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Genesis 31:54	And Jacob sacrificed a sacrifice on the mountain, and he called his brothers to eat bread, and they ate bread and spent the night on the mountain.
Genesis 31:55	And Laban rose early in the morning and kissed his sons and his daughters, and he blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.
Genesis 32:1	And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Genesis 32:2	And Jacob said when he saw them, “This [is] the camp of God.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Genesis 32:3	And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Genesis 32:4	And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you⁺ shall say to my lord, to Esau, thus says your servant Jacob: ‘With Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
Genesis 32:5	And I have oxen and donkeys, flock, and menservants and maidservants. And I have sent to declare to my lord, to find favor in your eyes.’”
Genesis 32:6	And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, and four hundred men [are] with him.”
Genesis 32:7	And Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people who [were] with him, and the flock and the cattle and the camels, into two camps,
Genesis 32:8	and he said, “If Esau comes to the one camp and strikes it, then the remaining camp shall be for an escape.”
Genesis 32:9	And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH, the One saying to me, ‘Return to your land and to your kindred, and I will do good with you,’
Genesis 32:10	I am not worthy of all the kindnesses and of all the faithfulness that You have done for Your servant. For with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
Genesis 32:11	Deliver me, please, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me—mother with sons.
Genesis 32:12	And You said, ‘I will surely do good with you and I will make your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be counted for multitude.’”
Genesis 32:13	And he lodged there that night, and he took from what is coming into his hand as a gift for Esau his brother:
Genesis 32:14	Two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams.
Genesis 32:15	And thirty nursing camels and their young, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys.
Genesis 32:16	And he gave [them] into the hand of his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, “Pass over before me and put some distance between herd and between herd.”
Genesis 32:17	And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom [are] you? And where are you going? And to whom [are] these before you?’
Genesis 32:18	Then you shall say, ‘To your servant Jacob; it [is] a gift, sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he [is] also behind us.’”
Genesis 32:19	And he commanded also the second one, also the third one, also all those going after the herds, saying, “In this manner you⁺ shall speak to Esau when you⁺ find him.
Genesis 32:20	And you⁺ shall say also, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us.’” For he said, “I will cover his face with the gift that goes before my face, and after that I will see his face; perhaps he will lift up my face.”
Genesis 32:21	And the gift passed over before his face, and he lodged that night in the camp.
Genesis 32:22	And he rose that night and he took his two wives and his two maidservants and his one [and] ten sons, and he passed over the ford of Jabbok.
Genesis 32:23	And he took them and caused them to pass over the stream, and he caused to pass over what belonged to him.
Genesis 32:24	And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the dawn.
Genesis 32:25	And he saw that he did not prevail against him, and he touched the socket of his hip, and the socket of the hip of Jacob was out of joint as he wrestled with him.
Genesis 32:26	And he said, “Send me away, for the dawn has broken.” And he said, “I will not send you away, unless you bless me.”
Genesis 32:27	And he said to him, “What [is] your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”
Genesis 32:28	And he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”
Genesis 32:29	And Jacob asked and said, “Tell [me], please, Your name.” And he said, “Why do you ask this about My name?” And he blessed him there.
Genesis 32:30	And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been delivered.”
Genesis 32:31	And the sun rose on him as he passed over Penuel, and he was limping on his hip.
Genesis 32:32	Upon thus the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew tendon which is on the socket of the hip to this day, because he touched the socket of Jacob's hip in the sinew tendon.
Genesis 33:1	And Jacob lifted up his eyes and he saw, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children to Leah and to Rachel and to the two maidservants.
Genesis 33:2	And he put the maidservants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind [them], and Rachel and Joseph behind [them].
Genesis 33:3	And he himself passed over before them and he bowed himself to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Genesis 33:4	And Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and he fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
Genesis 33:5	And he lifted up his eyes and he saw the women and the children and he said, “Who [are] these with you?” And he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Genesis 33:6	And the maidservants came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis 33:7	And Leah also came near, and her children, and they bowed themselves. And afterward Joseph came near, and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis 33:8	And he said, “What [is] all this camp to you, that I have met?” And he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
Genesis 33:9	And Esau said, “I have much, my brother. Let it be to you what is yours.”
Genesis 33:10	And Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your eyes, then you shall take my gift from my hand, for upon thus I have seen your face which is like seeing the face of God, and you have received me favorably.
Genesis 33:11	Please, take, my blessing that is brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have all.” And he urged him, and he took [it].
Genesis 33:12	And he said, “Let us journey and go on, and I will go before you.”
Genesis 33:13	And he said to him, “My lord knows that the children [are] tender, and the flock and the cattle with me are nursing; and if they are driven hard one day, then all the flock will die.
Genesis 33:14	Please, let my lord go on before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the work that is before me, and according to the pace of the children, until that I come to my lord in Seir.”
Genesis 33:15	And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you [some] of the people who [are] with me.” And he said, “Why this? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
Genesis 33:16	And Esau turned back that day on his way to Seir.
Genesis 33:17	And Jacob journeyed to Succoth and built for himself a house, and for his livestock he made booths. Upon thus he called the name of the place Succoth.
Genesis 33:18	And Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which [is] in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram. And he pitched his tent before the city.
Genesis 33:19	And he bought the portion of the field where he had pitched his tent from the hand [of the] sons of Hamor, father of Shechem, for a hundred kesitah.
Genesis 33:20	And he erected there an altar, and he called it El-Elohe-Israel.
Genesis 34:1	And Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Genesis 34:2	And Shechem, son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the land, saw her, and he took her and lay with her and violated her.
Genesis 34:3	And his soul clung to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young woman and spoke to the heart of the young woman.
Genesis 34:4	And Shechem spoke to Hamor his father, saying, “Get for me this young woman for a wife.”
Genesis 34:5	And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field, and Jacob was silent until they came in.
Genesis 34:6	And Hamor, the father of Shechem, went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Genesis 34:7	And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard; and the men were grieved, and it burned to them exceedingly because he has done an outrage in Israel—to lie with the daughter of Jacob; and such ought not to be done.
Genesis 34:8	And Hamor spoke with them, saying, “Shechem my son—his soul longs for your⁺ daughter. Please, give her to him for a wife.
Genesis 34:9	And make marriages with us; your⁺ daughters you⁺ shall give to us, and our daughters you⁺ shall take for yourselves.
Genesis 34:10	And with us you⁺ shall dwell, and the land shall be before you⁺. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions for yourselves in it.”
Genesis 34:11	And Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, “Let me find favor in your⁺ eyes, and whatever you⁺ say to me, I will give.
Genesis 34:12	Increase on me very much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you⁺ say to me. And give to me the young woman as a wife.”
Genesis 34:13	And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and they spoke because he had defiled Dinah their sister,
Genesis 34:14	and they said to them, “We are not able to do this thing, to give our sister to a man who has a foreskin, for that [is] a reproach to us.
Genesis 34:15	Only on this condition we will consent to you⁺; if you⁺ will become as we [are]—[that] every male among you⁺ be circumcised.
Genesis 34:16	And we will give our daughters to you⁺, and your⁺ daughters we will take for us. And we will dwell with you⁺, and we will become one people.
Genesis 34:17	But if you⁺ will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter, and we will go.”
Genesis 34:18	And their words were good in the eyes of Hamor and Shechem, son of Hamor.
Genesis 34:19	And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter; and He [was] more honorable than all the house of his father.
Genesis 34:20	And Hamor came—and Shechem his son—to the gate of their city, and they spoke to the men of their city, saying,
Genesis 34:21	“These men, they [are] at peace with us; so let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for, behold, the land [is] broad of hands before them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give our daughters to them.
Genesis 34:22	Only on this condition will the men consent to us to dwell with us, to be one people: If every male among us be circumcised as they [are] circumcised.
Genesis 34:23	Their livestock and their property and every animal of theirs, will they not [be] ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.”
Genesis 34:24	And all who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor and to Shechem his son, and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.
Genesis 34:25	And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword, and they came upon the city boldly and they killed every male.
Genesis 34:26	And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the mouth of the sword, and they took Dinah from the house of Shechem and they went out.
Genesis 34:27	The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and they plundered the city because they had defiled their sister:
Genesis 34:28	Their flock and their cattle and their donkeys, and what [was] in the city and what [was] in the field, they took.
Genesis 34:29	And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their women they took captive, and they plundered all that [was] in the house.
Genesis 34:30	And Jacob said to Simeon and to Levi, “You⁺ have troubled me, to make me stink among those dwelling in the land, among the Canaanite and among the Perizzite; and I [am] few in number, and they will gather themselves against me and strike me, then I shall be destroyed, I and my house.”
Genesis 34:31	And they said, “Shall he make our sister like a prostitute?”
Genesis 35:1	And God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there, and make there an altar to God who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
Genesis 35:2	And Jacob said to his house and to all who [were] with him, “Remove the foreign gods that [are] in your⁺ midst, and purify yourselves, and change your⁺ garments.
Genesis 35:3	And let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me in the way that I have gone.”
Genesis 35:4	And they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that [were] in their hands, and the rings that [were] in their ears. And Jacob hid them under the oak that [was] by Shechem.
Genesis 35:5	And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that [were] all around them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Genesis 35:6	And Jacob came to Luz, which [is] in the land of Canaan—that [is], Bethel—he and all the people who [were] with him.
Genesis 35:7	And he built there an altar and called the place El-bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from the face of his brother.
Genesis 35:8	And Deborah, nurse of Rebekah, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak, and he called its name Allon-bachuth.
Genesis 35:9	And God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
Genesis 35:10	And God said to him, “Your name [is] Jacob; your name shall [no] longer be called Jacob, but rather Israel shall be your name.” And He called his name Israel.
Genesis 35:11	And God said to him, “I [am] El-Shaddai. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and an assembly of nations shall be from you, and kings will come from your loins.
Genesis 35:12	And the land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, I give to you. And to your seed after you I will give the land.”
Genesis 35:13	And God went up from him in the place where He had spoken with him.
Genesis 35:14	And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him—a pillar of stone. And he poured on it a drink offering, and he poured on it oil.
Genesis 35:15	And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
Genesis 35:16	And they journeyed from Bethel, and there was still some distance of land to go to Ephrathah, and Rachel gave birth, and she had great difficulty in giving birth.
Genesis 35:17	And it came to pass, when she having difficulty in giving birth, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for also this [is] a son for you.”
Genesis 35:18	And it came to pass, as her soul was departing—for she died—that she called his name Ben-oni. And his father called him Benjamin.
Genesis 35:19	And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrathah, that [is], Bethlehem.
Genesis 35:20	And Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; that [is] the pillar of the grave of Rachel to this day.
Genesis 35:21	And Israel journeyed, and he pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder.
Genesis 35:22	And it came to pass while Israel was dwelling in the land, that Reuben went in and lay with Bilhah, concubine of his father, and Israel heard [of it]. And the sons of Jacob were two [and] ten:
Genesis 35:23	The sons of Leah: Reuben, firstborn of Jacob and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun;
Genesis 35:24	the sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin;
Genesis 35:25	and the sons of Bilhah, maidservant of Rachel: Dan and Naphtali;

Genesis 35:27	And Jacob came to Isaac his father at Mamre, near Kiriath-arba (that [is], Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned there.
Genesis 35:28	And the days of Isaac were a hundred years and eighty years.
Genesis 35:29	And Isaac expired and he died, and he was gathered to his people, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Genesis 36:1	And these [are] the generations of Esau (he [is] Edom).

Genesis 36:7	For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their sojournings was not able to support them because of their cattle.
Genesis 36:8	And Esau dwelt in the hill country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

Genesis 37:1	And Jacob dwelt in the land of the sojournings of his father, in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 37:2	These [are] the generations of Jacob: Joseph, a son of seven [and] ten years, was shepherding the flock with his brothers, and the boy was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, wives of his father. And Joseph brought an evil report of them to his father.
Genesis 37:3	And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he [was] the son of his old age, and he made him a long sleeved tunic.
Genesis 37:4	And his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, and they hated him and were not able speak to him peaceably.
Genesis 37:5	And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told [it] to his brothers. And they continued hating him. Even more
Genesis 37:6	and he said to them, “Hear, please, this dream that I have dreamed,
Genesis 37:7	and behold, we were binding sheaves in the midst of the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your⁺ sheaves gathered around and bowed themselves to my sheaf.”
Genesis 37:8	And his brothers said to him, “Will you surely reign … over us? Or Will you surely rule … over us?” And they continued hating him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Genesis 37:9	And he dreamed yet another dream, and he told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream, and behold, the sun and the moon and one and ten stars were bowing themselves to me.”
Genesis 37:10	And he told [it] to his father and to his brothers. And his father rebuked him and said to him, “What [is] this dream that you have dreamed? Will we surely come—I and your mother and your brothers—to bow down before you to the earth?”
Genesis 37:11	And his brothers envied him, and his father kept the matter [in mind].
Genesis 37:12	And his brothers went to shepherd the flock of their father in Shechem.
Genesis 37:13	And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers shepherding in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Behold, [it is] I.”
Genesis 37:14	And he said to him, “Go, please, and see the welfare of your brothers, and the welfare of the flock, and bring back to me word.” And he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.
Genesis 37:15	And a man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, saying, “What [are] you seeking?”
Genesis 37:16	And he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Tell me, please, where they are shepherding.”
Genesis 37:17	And the man said, “They have journeyed from this [place]. For I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” And Joseph went after his brothers and he found them in Dothan.
Genesis 37:18	And they saw him from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Genesis 37:19	And they said each man to his brother, “Behold, this master of dreams is coming!
Genesis 37:20	And now come and let us kill him and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say an evil beast has devoured him. And we will see what will become of his dreams.”
Genesis 37:21	And Reuben heard, and he delivered him out of their hand and said, “Let us not take his life.”
Genesis 37:22	Reuben said to them, “Do not shed blood; cast him into this pit, which [is] in the wilderness. And do not stretch out a hand against him,”—that he might deliver him out of their hand to return him to his father.
Genesis 37:23	And it came to pass when Joseph came to his brothers that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the long sleeved tunic that [was] on him,
Genesis 37:24	and they took him and cast him into the pit. And the pit [was] empty, [there was] no water in it.
Genesis 37:25	And they sat down to eat bread. And they lifted their eyes and they saw, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, and their camels were bearing spices and balm and myrrh, going to bring [them] down to Egypt.
Genesis 37:26	And Judah said to his brothers, “What profit [is it] if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Genesis 37:27	Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let our hand not be upon him, for he [is] our brother, our flesh.” And his brothers listened.
Genesis 37:28	And men passed by, Midianite traders; and they pulled up and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and they sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty [shekels] of silver. And they brought Joseph to Egypt.
Genesis 37:29	And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph [was] not in the pit. And he tore his clothes,
Genesis 37:30	and he returned to his brothers and said, “The boy [is] not! And I, where am I going?”
Genesis 37:31	And they took the tunic of Joseph and they slaughtered a kid of the goats and they dipped the tunic in the blood.
Genesis 37:32	And they sent the long sleeved tunic, and they brought [it] to their father and said, “We have found this. Please recognize, [is] it the tunic of your son or not.”
Genesis 37:33	And he recognized it and said, “My son's tunic! An evil beast has devoured him! Joseph has surely been torn to pieces!”
Genesis 37:34	And Jacob tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his waist, and he mourned for his son many days.
Genesis 37:35	And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him, and he refused to be comforted. And he said, “For I shall go down to my son mourning, to Sheol.” And his father wept for him.
Genesis 37:36	And the Midianites sold him into Egypt, to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh [and] captain of the guards.
Genesis 38:1	And it came to pass at that time that Judah went down from his brothers, and settled to a man, an Adullamite, and his name [was] Hirah.
Genesis 38:2	And Judah saw there a daughter of a man, a Canaanite, and his name [was] Shua. And he took her and went in to her.
Genesis 38:3	And she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.
Genesis 38:4	And she conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.
Genesis 38:5	And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. And he was at Chezib when she bore him.
Genesis 38:6	And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name [was] Tamar.
Genesis 38:7	And Er, firstborn of Judah, was evil in the eyes of YHWH; and YHWH killed him.
Genesis 38:8	And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to the wife of your brother and perform the dury of a brother-in-law to her and raise up seed for your brother.”
Genesis 38:9	And Onan knew that the seed would not belong to him. And it came to pass, when he went in to the wife of his brother, that he destroyed it on the earth, so that he would not give seed to his brother.
Genesis 38:10	And what he did was evil in the eyes of YHWH, and He killed him also.
Genesis 38:11	And Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in the house of your father until Shelah my son is grown.” For he said, “Lest he also die like his brothers.” And Tamar went and dwelt in the house of her father.
Genesis 38:12	And the days multiplied, and Judah’s wife, the daughter of Shua, died. And Judah was comforted, and he went up to the shearers of his sheep, he and Hirah his friend, the Adullamite, at Timnah.
Genesis 38:13	And it was told to Tamar, saying, “Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.”
Genesis 38:14	And she took off the garments of her widowhood from her, and covered [herself] with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the entrance of Enaim which [is] on the way to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah had grown, and she was not given to him for a wife.
Genesis 38:15	And Judah saw her, and he thought her for a prostitute, because she had covered her face.
Genesis 38:16	And he turned aside to her by the way and said, “Come now, please, let me come in to you.” For he did not know that she [was] his daughter-in-law. And she said, “What will you give to me that you may come in to me?”
Genesis 38:17	And he said, “I—I will send a kid of the goats from the flock.” And she said, “Only if you will give [me] a pledge until you send it.”
Genesis 38:18	And he said, “What [is] the pledge that I shall give to you?” And she said, “Your seal, and your cord, and your staff that [is] in your hand.” And he gave [them] to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Genesis 38:19	And she arose, and went away, and she took off her veil from her, and she put on the garments of her widowhood.
Genesis 38:20	And Judah sent 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 did not find her.
Genesis 38:21	And he asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the temple prostitute—she [was] in Enaim by the way?” And they said, “There has not been a temple prostitute in this [place].”
Genesis 38:22	And he returned to Judah and said, “I did not find her, and the men of the place said, ‘There has been no temple prostitute in this [place].’”
Genesis 38:23	And Judah said, “Let her take [them] for herself, lest we become despised. Behold, I sent this kid, and you have not found her.”
Genesis 38:24	And it came to pass about three months [later], that it was told to Judah, saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the prostitute, and also behold, she [is] pregnant by prostitution.” And Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned.”
Genesis 38:25	She [was] being brought out, and she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man to whom these belong, I [am] pregnant.” And she said, “Recognize, please, to whom [are] these—the signet and the cords and the staff.”
Genesis 38:26	And Judah recognized [them] and said, “She is more righteous than I, for upon thus I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he did not continue to know her anymore.
Genesis 38:27	And it came to pass at the time of her giving birth that behold, twins [were] in her womb.
Genesis 38:28	And it came to pass when she was giving birth, that one put out a hand, and the midwife took [it] and tied on his hand a scarlet [thread], saying, “This one came out first.”
Genesis 38:29	And it came to pass, as he was drawing back his hand, that behold, his brother came out. And she said, “How you have burst forth—for yourself, a breach!” And he called his name Perez.
Genesis 38:30	And afterward his brother came out, who had on his hand the scarlet [thread], and his name was called Zerah.
Genesis 39:1	And Joseph had been taken down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guards, an Egyptian man, bought him from the hand of the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.
Genesis 39:2	And YHWH was with Joseph, and he was a successful man, and he was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.
Genesis 39:3	And his lord saw that YHWH [was] with him, and all that he was doing, YHWH was making successful in his hand.
Genesis 39:4	And Joseph found favor in his eyes and he served him. And he appointed him over his house, and all [that] he had to him, he put in his hand.
Genesis 39:5	And it came to pass from the time he had appointed him over his house and over all that he had, that YHWH blessed the house of the Egyptian on account of Joseph. And the blessing of YHWH was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Genesis 39:6	And he left all that [was] unto him in the hand of Joseph and he did not know with him anything except for the bread that he was eating. And Joseph was handsome in form and handsome in appearance.
Genesis 39:7	And it came to pass after these things that the wife of his lord lifted up her eyes to Joseph, and she said, “Lie with me.”
Genesis 39:8	And he refused, and said to the wife of his lord, “Behold, my lord has not known with me what [is] in the house, and all that he had he has put in my hand.
Genesis 39:9	[There is] no one greater in this house than I, and he has not withheld from me anything except you, because you [are] his wife. And how can I do this great evil and sin against God?”
Genesis 39:10	And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie beside her, to be with her.
Genesis 39:11	And it came to pass on such a day that he went into the house to do his work, and not a man of the men of the house [was] there in the house.
Genesis 39:12	And she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand, and he fled, and he went outside.
Genesis 39:13	And it came to pass when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and he fled outside,
Genesis 39:14	that she called to the men of her house and she said to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a man, a Hebrew, to mock us! He came to me to lie with me, and I cried out in a loud voice.
Genesis 39:15	And it came to pass when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment beside me and he fled, and he went outside.”
Genesis 39:16	And she kept his garment beside her until his lord came to his house.
Genesis 39:17	And she spoke to him with these words, saying, “The Hebrew, the servant whom you brought to us, came to me to mock me.
Genesis 39:18	And it came to pass as I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment beside me and he fled outside.”
Genesis 39:19	And it came to pass when his lord heard the words of his wife that she spoke to him, saying, “According to these words your servant did to me,” that his anger burned.
Genesis 39:20	And the lord of Joseph took him and put him into the prison house, a place where the prisoners of the king [were] confined. And he was there in the prison. House
Genesis 39:21	and YHWH was with Joseph and extended kindness to him and He gave him favor in the eyes of the captain of the prison house.
Genesis 39:22	And the captain of the prison house gave into the hand of Joseph all the prisoners who [were] in the prison house. And all that they were doing there, he was the one doing.
Genesis 39:23	The captain of the prison house was not looking at anything at all in his hand, because YHWH was with him. And what he was doing, YHWH was making successful.
Genesis 40:1	And it came to pass after these things that the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and the baker sinned against their lord, against the king of Egypt.
Genesis 40:2	And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, with the chief of the cupbearers and the chief of the bakers.
Genesis 40:3	And he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guards, in the prison house, the place where Joseph [was] confined.
Genesis 40:4	And the captain of the guards appointed Joseph to them, and he served them, and they were days in custody.
Genesis 40:5	And they dreamed a dream, the two of them, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream—the cupbearer and the baker, who belonged to the king of Egypt, who [were] confined in the prison. House
Genesis 40:6	and Joseph came to them in the morning and he saw them, and behold, they were troubled.
Genesis 40:7	And he asked the officers of Pharaoh who [were] with him in custody [in] the house of his lord, saying, “Why are your⁺ faces evil today?”
Genesis 40:8	And they said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell [them], please, to me.”
Genesis 40:9	And the chief of the cupbearers told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream, and behold, a vine [was] before me.
Genesis 40:10	And in the vine [were] three branches. And it [was] as though it budded, its blossoms came up, [and] its clusters ripened grapes.
Genesis 40:11	And the cup of Pharaoh [was] in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into the cup of Pharaoh, and I put the cup in the hand of Pharaoh.”
Genesis 40:12	And Joseph said to him, “This [is] its interpretation: The three branches, they are three days.
Genesis 40:13	Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you will put the cup of Pharaoh into his hand according to the former manner, when you were his cupbearer.
Genesis 40:14	But only that you remember me when it is well with you, and please, do kindness with me and make mention of me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.
Genesis 40:15	For I was surely stolen from the land of the Hebrews, and also here I have not done anything that they should put me in the pit.”
Genesis 40:16	And the chief of the bakers saw that he interpreted well, and he said to Joseph, “I [was] also in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread [were] on my head.
Genesis 40:17	And in the uppermost basket [were] all [kinds of] food, for Pharaoh, the work of a baker; and the birds were eating them out of the basket from upon my head.”
Genesis 40:18	And Joseph answered and said, “This [is] its interpretation: The three baskets are three days.
Genesis 40:19	Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head from upon you and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat your flesh from upon you.”
Genesis 40:20	And it came to pass on the third day, the day of Pharaoh's birth, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief of the cupbearers and the head of the chief of the bakers in the midst of his servants.
Genesis 40:21	And he restored the chief of the cupbearers to his cupbearership, and he put the cup in the hand of Pharaoh.
Genesis 40:22	And the chief of the bakers he hanged, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Genesis 40:23	And the chief of the cupbearers did not remember Joseph, and he forgot him.
Genesis 41:1	And it came to pass at the end of two years of days that Pharaoh was dreaming, and behold, he was standing by the River.
Genesis 41:2	And behold, out of the River came up seven cows, beautiful of appearance and fat of flesh, and they grazed among the reeds.
Genesis 41:3	And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the River, ugly of appearance and thin of flesh, and they stood beside the cows on the edge of the River.
Genesis 41:4	And the cows [that were] ugly of appearance and thin of flesh ate the seven cows beautiful of appearance and fat. And Pharaoh awoke.
Genesis 41:5	And he slept and dreamed a second [time], and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, fat and good.
Genesis 41:6	And behold, seven heads of grain, thin and scorched by the east wind, were sprouting after them.
Genesis 41:7	And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven heads fat and full. And Pharaoh awoke, and behold, [it was] a dream.
Genesis 41:8	And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, and [there was] no one interpreting them to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:9	And the chief of the cupbearers spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “My sin I am remembering this day;
Genesis 41:10	Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and he put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guards—me and the chief of the bakers.
Genesis 41:11	And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; each man according to the interpretation of his dream we dreamed.
Genesis 41:12	And there [was] with us a young man, a Hebrew, a servant of the captain of the guards. And we told to him, and he interpreted for us our dreams; each man according to his dream he interpreted.
Genesis 41:13	And it came to pass as he interpreted to us—so it came to pass. Me he restored to my office, and him he hanged.”
Genesis 41:14	And Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they hurried him from the pit. And he shaved and changed his clothing, and he came to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:15	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no one interpreting it. And I have heard it said of you [that] you hear a dream to interpret it.”
Genesis 41:16	And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “[It is] not in me; God will answer Pharaoh with peace.”
Genesis 41:17	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I was standing on the edge of the River,
Genesis 41:18	and behold, out of the River came up seven cows fat of flesh and beautiful of appearance, and they grazed among the reeds.
Genesis 41:19	And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly of appearance and thin of flesh. Never have I seen such as these in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.
Genesis 41:20	And the thin and ugly cows ate the first seven fat cows.
Genesis 41:21	And they went into their bellies, and no one would have known that they had gone into their bellies, and they [were] as ugly as at the beginning. And I awoke.
Genesis 41:22	And I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good,
Genesis 41:23	and behold, seven heads of grain withered, thin, [and] scorched by the east wind, were sprouting after them.
Genesis 41:24	And the thin heads of grain swallowed the seven good heads of grain. And I told [this] to the magicians, and [there was] no one who interpreted [it] for me.”
Genesis 41:25	And Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God [is] about to do He has declared to Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:26	The seven good cows—they are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain—they are seven years. The dream is one.
Genesis 41:27	And the seven thin and ugly cows that came up after them—they are seven years; and the seven empty the heads of grain scorched by the east wind—they are seven years of famine.
Genesis 41:28	This [is] the word that I have spoken to Pharaoh. What God [is] about to do He has shown Pharaoh.
Genesis 41:29	Behold, seven years are coming—great abundance in all the land of Egypt,
Genesis 41:30	and seven years of famine will arise after them, and all the abundance in the land of Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will consume the land.
Genesis 41:31	And the abundance will not be known in the land because of that famine after thus; for it [is] very severe.
Genesis 41:32	And as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice—it is because the thing [is] established by God, and God is hastening to do it.
Genesis 41:33	And now, let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:34	Let Pharaoh do [this], and let him appoint officers over the land and let him take a fifth of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.
Genesis 41:35	And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh—food in the cities—and guard it
Genesis 41:36	and the food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine that shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not be cut off by the famine.”
Genesis 41:37	And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
Genesis 41:38	And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man [such] as this, in whom [is] the Spirit of God?”
Genesis 41:39	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made known to you all this, [there is] no one as discerning and wise as you.
Genesis 41:40	You shall be over my house, and according to your mouth all my people will kiss. Only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Genesis 41:41	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:42	And Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and put it on the hand of Joseph, and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the chain of gold around his neck.
Genesis 41:43	And he had him ride in the second chariot that [was] his, and they called out before him, “Abrek!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:44	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I [am] Pharaoh, and apart from you, no man may lift his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:45	And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave to him Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, for a wife. And Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:46	And Joseph [was] a son of thirty years when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and he passed through all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:47	And the land made as handfuls in the seven years of abundance.
Genesis 41:48	And he gathered all the food of the seven years that were in the land of Egypt, and he placed the food in the cities. The food of the fields of the city that surrounded them, he placed in its midst.
Genesis 41:49	And Joseph stored up grain like the sand of the sea, multiplying exceedingly, until that he stopped counting, for [it was] without number.
Genesis 41:50	And to Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.
Genesis 41:51	And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For God has made me forget all my toil and all the house of my father.”
Genesis 41:52	And the name of the second he called Ephraim: “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Genesis 41:53	And the seven years of abundance, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.
Genesis 41:54	And the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. And there was famine in all the lands, and in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Genesis 41:55	And all the land of Egypt hungered. And the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all Egypt, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you⁺, do.”
Genesis 41:56	And the famine was over all the face of the land, and Joseph opened all that was in them and sold to the Egyptians, and the famine was strong in the land of Egypt.
Genesis 41:57	And all the earth came to Egypt to buy, to Joseph, because the famine was strong in all the earth.
Genesis 42:1	And Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you⁺ look at one another?”
Genesis 42:2	And he said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy for us from there, and we shall live and not die.”
Genesis 42:3	And ten brothers of Joseph went down to buy grain from Egypt.
Genesis 42:4	And Jacob did not send Benjamin, brother of Joseph, with his brothers, for he said, “Lest harm befall him.”
Genesis 42:5	And the sons of Israel came to buy in the midst the ones coming, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Genesis 42:6	And Joseph—he was the ruler over the land; he was the one selling to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came, and they bowed themselves before him, noses to the earth.
Genesis 42:7	And Joseph saw his brothers and he recognized them, and he made himself strange to them, and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, “From where have you⁺ come?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.”
Genesis 42:8	And Joseph recognized his brothers, and they did not recognize him.
Genesis 42:9	And Joseph remembered the dreams that he had dreamed about them, and he said to them, “You⁺ [are] spies! You⁺ have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Genesis 42:10	And they said to him, “No, my lord, and your servants have come to buy food.
Genesis 42:11	We [are] all sons of one man. We [are] honest; your servants are not spies.”
Genesis 42:12	And he said to them, “No! But rather, you⁺ have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Genesis 42:13	And they said, “Two [and] ten [are] your servants, we [are] brothers, sons of one man in the land of Canaan. And behold, the youngest [is] with our father today, and the one [is] no more.”
Genesis 42:14	And Joseph said to them, “It [is] that which I spoke to you⁺, saying, You⁺ [are] spies!
Genesis 42:15	By this you⁺ shall be tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you⁺ shall not go forth from this, except if your youngest brother comes here.
Genesis 42:16	Send one of you⁺ and let him bring your⁺ brother, and you⁺ shall be confined, and your⁺ words shall be tested, whether truth [is] with you⁺. And if not, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you⁺ [are] spies.”
Genesis 42:17	And he put them all together in custody three days.
Genesis 42:18	And Joseph said to them on the third day, “Do this and you will live; I fear God:
Genesis 42:19	If you⁺ [are] honest, let one of your⁺ brothers be confined in the house of your⁺ custody, and you⁺ go and carry grain for the famine of your⁺ houses.
Genesis 42:20	And you⁺ shall bring your⁺ youngest brother to me, and your⁺ words will be verified, and you⁺ shall not die.” And they did so.
Genesis 42:21	And they said each man to his brother, “Truly we [are] guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we did not listen. Upon thus, this distress has come upon us.”
Genesis 42:22	And Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you⁺, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy’? and you⁺ did not listen! And also, his blood, behold, it is required.”
Genesis 42:23	And they did not know that Joseph was listening, for the interpreter was between them.
Genesis 42:24	And he turned himself away from them and wept, and he returned to them and spoke to them, and he took from them Simeon and bound him before their eyes.
Genesis 42:25	And Joseph commanded, and they filled their vessels with grain, and to return their silver, each man to his sack, and to give to them provisions for the journey. And he did so. For them
Genesis 42:26	and they lifted the grain upon their donkeys and departed from there.
Genesis 42:27	And the one opened his sack to give feed to his donkey at the lodging place, and he saw his silver, and behold, it [was] in the mouth of his bag.
Genesis 42:28	And he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and also, behold, it is in my bag.” And their hearts went out, and they trembled, saying each man to his brother, “What [is] this God has done to us?”
Genesis 42:29	And they came to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan, and they told him all that had happened to them, saying,
Genesis 42:30	“The man, the lord of the land, spoke to us harshly and treated us as spies of the land.
Genesis 42:31	And we said to him, ‘We [are] honest; we are not spies.
Genesis 42:32	We [are] two [and] ten brothers, sons of our father. The one [is] no more, and the youngest [is] this day with our father in the land of Canaan.’
Genesis 42:33	And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you⁺ [are] honest: Your⁺ one brother leave with me, and take [food] [for] the famine of your⁺ houses and go.
Genesis 42:34	And bring your⁺ youngest brother to me, and I shall know that you⁺ [are] not spies, but [that] you⁺ [are] honest. Your⁺ brother I will give to you⁺, and you⁺ may trade in the land.’”
Genesis 42:35	And it came to pass, they were empyting their sacks, and behold, each man’s bundle of his silver [was] in his sack; and they saw their bundles of silver, they and their father, and they were afraid.
Genesis 42:36	And Jacob their father said to them, “You⁺ have bereaved me. Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and Benjamin you⁺ will take. All these things are against me!”
Genesis 42:37	And Reuben said to his father, saying, “My two sons you will put to death, if I do not bring him [back] to you! Put him in my hand, and I will return him to you.”
Genesis 42:38	And he said, “My son shall not go down with you⁺, for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. And if harm should befall him in the way in which you⁺ go, then you⁺ would bring down my gray hair in sorrow to Sheol.”
Genesis 43:1	And the famine [was] severe in the land.
Genesis 43:2	And it came to pass when they had finished eating the grain that they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, “Return, buy for us a little food.”
Genesis 43:3	And Judah said to him, saying, “The man surely warned us, saying, ‘You⁺ shall not see my face unless your⁺ brother [is] with you⁺.’
Genesis 43:4	If you send our brother with us, we will go down and we will buy for you food.
Genesis 43:5	But if you are not sending [him], we will not go down, for the man said to us, ‘You⁺ shall not see my face unless your⁺ brother [is] with you⁺.’”
Genesis 43:6	And Israel said, “Why have you⁺ done evil to me, to tell the man you had yet to you⁺ a brother?”
Genesis 43:7	And they said, “The man surely asked about us and about our family, saying, ‘[Is] your⁺ father still alive? Is there unto you⁺ a brother?’ And we told him, according to the mouth, these words. How could we possibly know that he would say, ‘Bring down your⁺ brother’?”
Genesis 43:8	And Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy with me, and let us arise and let us go and we will live and not die, both we and you [and] also our little ones.
Genesis 43:9	I myself will guarantee him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him [back] to you and set him before you, then I shall bear the blame to you all the days.
Genesis 43:10	For if we had not lingered, surely now we would have returned these two times.”
Genesis 43:11	And Israel their father said to them, “If so, then do this: Take from the best products of the land in your⁺ vessels, and carry down to the man [as] a gift—a little balm, and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachios and almonds.
Genesis 43:12	And double the silver take in your⁺ hand, and the silver that was returned in the mouth of your⁺ bags you⁺ shall return in your⁺ hand. Perhaps it [was] a mistake.
Genesis 43:13	And take your⁺ brother and arise; return to the man.
Genesis 43:14	And may El-Shaddai give to you⁺ mercy before the man, and may he release to you⁺ your⁺ other brother and Benjamin! And I—if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
Genesis 43:15	And the men took this gift, and double the silver they took in their hand, and Benjamin. And they arose and went down to Egypt, and they stood before Joseph.
Genesis 43:16	And Joseph saw Benjamin with them, and he said to the one over his house, “Bring the men to the house, and slaughter an animal and prepare [it], for the men will eat with me at noon.”
Genesis 43:17	And the man did as Joseph had said, and the man brought the men into the house of Joseph.
Genesis 43:18	And the men were afraid because they were brought into the house of Joseph. And they said, “[It is] because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time that we are being brought in, to roll himself upon us, and to fall upon us, and to take us for servants, and our donkeys.”
Genesis 43:19	And they drew near to the man who was over the house of Joseph, and they spoke to him at the door of the house
Genesis 43:20	and they said, “Please, my lord, we surely came down the first time to buy food.
Genesis 43:21	And it came to pass when we came to the lodging place and we opened our bags, and behold, the silver [of each] man was in the mouth of his bag—our silver in its weight—and we have brought it back in our hands.
Genesis 43:22	And other silver we have brought down in our hand to buy food; we do not know who put our silver in our bags.”
Genesis 43:23	And he said, “Peace to you⁺. Do not fear; your⁺ God and the God of your⁺ father has given to you⁺ hidden treasure in your⁺ bags; your⁺ silver came to me.” And he brought out to them. Simeon
Genesis 43:24	and the man brought the men into the house of Joseph, and he gave water, and they washed their feet. And he gave feed to their donkeys.
Genesis 43:25	And they prepared the gift for the coming of Joseph at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.
Genesis 43:26	And Joseph came into the house, and they brought to him the gift that [was] in their hand into the house, and they bowed themselves before him to the earth.
Genesis 43:27	And he asked them about their wellbeing, and he said, “Is your⁺ father well, the old man of whom you⁺ spoke? [Is] he still alive?”
Genesis 43:28	And they said, “[It is] well for your servant; for our father, he [is] still alive.” And they bowed down and worshiped.
Genesis 43:29	And he lifted up his eyes and saw Benjamin his brother, son of his mother, and he said, “Is this your⁺ youngest brother, of whom you⁺ spoke to me?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son!”
Genesis 43:30	And Joseph hurried, for his compassions yearned for his brother, and he sought to weep, and he went into the chamber and wept there.
Genesis 43:31	And he washed his face and went out, and he restrained himself and said, “Set the bread.”
Genesis 43:32	And they set for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were eating with him by themselves, because the Egyptians are not able to eat bread with the Hebrews, for that [is] an abomination to Egypt.
Genesis 43:33	And they sat before him the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth, and the men were astonished, each man to his neighbor.
Genesis 43:34	And he lifted up portions from before him to them, and the portion of Benjamin was greater than the portions of all of them—five hands. And they drank and became drunk with him.
Genesis 44:1	And he commanded the one over his house, saying, “Fill the bags of the men [with] food, as much as they are able to carry, and put the silver of each man in the mouth of his bag.
Genesis 44:2	And my cup, the silver cup, put in the mouth of the bag of the youngest, and the silver for his grain.” And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Genesis 44:3	The morning was light, and the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.
Genesis 44:4	They had gone out of the city, they had not gone far, and Joseph said to the one over his house, “Get up, pursue after the men, and you shall overtake them, and you shall say to them, ‘Why have you⁺ repaid evil for good?
Genesis 44:5	[Is it] not this from which my lord drinks, and he surely divines with it? You⁺ have done evil in that which you⁺ have done.’”
Genesis 44:6	And he overtook them, and he spoke to them these words.
Genesis 44:7	And they said to him, “Why does my lord speak according to these words? Far be it to your servants from doing according to this word.
Genesis 44:8	Behold, the silver that we found in the mouth of our bags, we returned to you from the land of Canaan. And how could we steal silver or gold from the house of your lord?
Genesis 44:9	With whomever of your servants it is found, then he shall die, and also we will be to my lord as servants.”
Genesis 44:10	And he said, “Also now, according to your⁺ words, so it [is]; whoever is found with it shall be to me a servant, and you⁺ shall be blameless.”
Genesis 44:11	And they hurried, and they lowered each man his bag to the earth, and they opened each man his bag.
Genesis 44:12	And he searched—with the oldest he began, and with the youngest he finished. And the cup was found in the bag of Benjamin.
Genesis 44:13	And they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and they returned to the city.
Genesis 44:14	And Judah and his brothers came to the house of Joseph, and he [was] still there, and they fell before him on the ground.
Genesis 44:15	And Joseph said to them, “What deed [is] this that you⁺ have done? Did you⁺ not know that a man such as I, surely divines?”
Genesis 44:16	And Judah said, “What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? And how shall we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants. Behold, we [are] to my lord as servants, both we and also [he] with whom the cup was found.”
Genesis 44:17	And he said, “Far be it to me from doing this; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be to me a servant. And you⁺, go up in peace to your⁺ father.”
Genesis 44:18	And Judah came near to him and said, “Please my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you [are] like Pharaoh.
Genesis 44:19	My lord asked his servants, saying, ‘Is there for you⁺ a father or a brother?’
Genesis 44:20	And we said to my lord, ‘We have to us a father, an old man, and a son of [his] old age, [who is] young. And his brother died, and he alone is left to his mother, and his father loves him.’
Genesis 44:21	And you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, and let me set my eye on him.’
Genesis 44:22	And we said to my lord, ‘The boy is not able to leave his father, and [if] he should leave his father, then he shall die.’
Genesis 44:23	And you said to your servants, ‘If your⁺ youngest brother does not come down with you⁺, you⁺ shall not again see my face.’
Genesis 44:24	And it came to pass when we went up to your servant, my father, that we told to him the words of my lord.
Genesis 44:25	And our father said, ‘Return; buy for us a little food.’
Genesis 44:26	And we said, ‘We are not able to go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down. For we are not able to see the face of the man, and our youngest brother [is] not with us.’
Genesis 44:27	And your servant, my father, said to us, ‘You⁺ know that my wife bore to me two [sons].
Genesis 44:28	And the one went out from me, and I said, “Surely he has been torn to pieces.” And I have not seen him until now.
Genesis 44:29	And if you⁺ take also this one from my face and harm befalls him, then you⁺ shall bring down my gray hair in evil to Sheol.’
Genesis 44:30	And now, when I come to your servant, my father, and the boy [is] not with us, and his soul is bound up in his soul,
Genesis 44:31	and it will come to pass when he sees that the boy [is] no more, then he will die. And your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant, our father, in sorrow to Sheol.
Genesis 44:32	For your servant guaranteed the boy to my father, saying, ‘If I do not bring him [back] to you, then I shall bear the blame to my father all the days.’
Genesis 44:33	And now, please, let your servant remain instead of the boy as a servant to my lord, and let the boy go up with his brothers.
Genesis 44:34	For how shall I go up to my father, and the boy [is] not with me? Lest I see the evil that will find my father.”
Genesis 45:1	And Joseph was not able to restrain himself before all those who were standing by him, and he cried out, “Make go out every man from me!” And no man stood with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
Genesis 45:2	And he gave his voice in weeping, and Egypt heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Genesis 45:3	And Joseph said to his brothers, “I [am] Joseph. Is my father still alive?” And his brothers were not able to answer him, for they were terrified in his presence.
Genesis 45:4	And Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near, and he said, “I [am] Joseph your⁺ brother, whom you⁺ sold into Egypt.
Genesis 45:5	And now, do not be grieved and let it not burn in your⁺ eyes that you⁺ sold me here, for to preserve life God sent me before you⁺.
Genesis 45:6	For these two years the famine [has been] in the midst of the earth, and [there are] still five years in which [there is] no plowing and harvesting.
Genesis 45:7	And God sent me before you⁺ to make for you⁺ a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you⁺ by a great deliverance.
Genesis 45:8	And now, you⁺ have not sent me here, but God. And He has made me for a father to Pharaoh, and for a lord of all his house, and ruler in all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 45:9	Hurry and go up to my father and you⁺ shall say to him, ‘Thus says Joseph your son: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay.
Genesis 45:10	And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me—you and your sons, and the sons of your sons, and your flock and your herd, and all that [is] yours.
Genesis 45:11	And I will provide for you there, for [there are] still five years of famine, lest you come to poverty—you and your house and all that [is] yours.’
Genesis 45:12	And behold, your⁺ eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that my mouth is the one speaking to you⁺.
Genesis 45:13	And you⁺ shall tell to my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you⁺ have seen. And you⁺ shall hurry and bring down my father here.”
Genesis 45:14	And he fell on the necks of Benjamin his brother and wept, and Benjamin wept on his necks.
Genesis 45:15	And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. And after that his brothers spoke with him.
Genesis 45:16	And the sound was heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Joseph have come.” And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants.
Genesis 45:17	And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your⁺ animals and depart. Go to the land of Canaan,
Genesis 45:18	and take your⁺ father and your⁺ households, and come to me, and I will give to you⁺ the good of the land of Egypt, and you⁺ will eat the fat of the land.’
Genesis 45:19	And you—you have been commanded, ‘Do this: Take for yourselves from the land of Egypt carts for your⁺ little ones, and for your⁺ wives, and bring your⁺ father, and come.
Genesis 45:20	And let your⁺ eye not grieve over your⁺ vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt—it is yours⁺.’”
Genesis 45:21	And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave to them carts, according to the mouth of Pharaoh, and he gave to them provisions for the journey.
Genesis 45:22	To all of them he gave—to each man—changes of garments, and to Benjamin he gave three hundred [shekels] of silver and five changes of garments.
Genesis 45:23	And to his father he sent this: Ten donkeys carrying the good of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and bread and food for his father for the journey.
Genesis 45:24	And he sent away his brothers, and they departed, and he said to them, “Do not be shaken along the way.”
Genesis 45:25	And they went up out of Egypt and they came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father,
Genesis 45:26	and they told him, saying, “Joseph [is] still alive! And he [is] ruling in all the land of Egypt.” And his heart went numb for he did not believe them.
Genesis 45:27	And they spoke to him all the words that Joseph had said to them, and he saw the carts that Joseph had sent to carry him, and the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Genesis 45:28	And Israel said, “Enough! Joseph my son [is] still alive! I will go and I will see him before I die.”
Genesis 46:1	And Israel journeyed, and all that [was] his, and he came to Beersheba and he sacrificed sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Genesis 46:2	And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Behold, [it is] I.”
Genesis 46:3	And He said, “I [am] God, the God of your father; do not fear from going down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.
Genesis 46:4	I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up, and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes.”
Genesis 46:5	And Jacob arose from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Genesis 46:6	And they took their livestock and their possessions that they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and they came to Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him,
Genesis 46:7	his sons, and the sons of his sons with him, and his daughters, and the daughters of his sons, and all his seed he brought with him to Egypt.
Genesis 46:8	And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel, the ones coming to Egypt—Jacob and his sons: The firstborn of Jacob, Reuben.

Genesis 46:14	And the sons of Zebulun: Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.

Genesis 46:16	And the sons of Gad: Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.

Genesis 46:24	And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
Genesis 46:25	These [are] the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob—seven souls in all.
Genesis 46:26	All the souls—the ones coming to Jacob, to Egypt, the ones coming out of his thigh, besides the wives of the sons of Jacob—[were] sixty and six souls in all.
Genesis 46:27	And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, [were] two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob, the ones coming to Egypt, [were] seventy.
Genesis 46:28	And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to direct before him to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen.
Genesis 46:29	And Joseph harnessed his chariot, and he went up to Goshen to meet Israel his father, and he appeared to him, and he fell on his necks, and he wept on his necks a long time.
Genesis 46:30	And Israel said to Joseph, “Let me die now, after my seeing your face, for [you are] still alive.”
Genesis 46:31	And Joseph said to his brothers and to the house of his father, “I will go up and let me tell Pharaoh and let me say to him, ‘My brothers and the house of my father, who [were] in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Genesis 46:32	And the men are shedherds of sheep, for they have been men of livestock; and their flocks and their herds and all that [is] theirs, they have brought.’
Genesis 46:33	And it shall be, when Pharaoh calls you⁺ and says, ‘What [are] your⁺ works?’
Genesis 46:34	That you⁺ shall say, ‘Your servants have been men of livestock from our youth and even until now, both we [and] also our fathers,’ so that you⁺ may dwell in the land of Goshen. For an abomination of Egypt [is] every shepherd of sheep.”
Genesis 47:1	And Joseph went and told Pharaoh and he said, “My father, and my brothers, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that [is] theirs, have come from the land of Canaan, and behold, they [are] in the land of Goshen.”
Genesis 47:2	And from the end of his brothers, he took five men and he presented them before Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:3	And Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What [are] your⁺ works?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants [are] shepherds of sheep, both we [and] also our fathers.”
Genesis 47:4	And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land because [there is] no pasture for the sheep that your servants have, for the famine [is] severe in the land of Canaan. And now, please, let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
Genesis 47:5	And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Genesis 47:6	The land of Egypt, it [is] before you. In the best of the land cause your father and your brothers to dwell; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know that there are among them men of valor, then you shall appoint them captains of livestock over what is mine.”
Genesis 47:7	And Joseph brought in Jacob his father and he caused him to stand before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:8	And Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How many [are] the days of the years of your life?”
Genesis 47:9	And Jacob said to Pharaoh, “The days of the years of my sojournings [are] a 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 lives of my fathers in the days of their sojournings.”
Genesis 47:10	And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and he went out from before Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:11	And Joseph settled his father and his brothers, and he gave to them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Genesis 47:12	And Joseph provided his father and his brothers and all the house of his father with bread, according to the mouth of the little ones.
Genesis 47:13	And [there was] no bread in all the earth, for the famine [was] very severe. And the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.
Genesis 47:14	And Joseph gathered up all the silver found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain that they were buying, and Joseph brought the silver to the house of Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:15	And the silver was finished from the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan, and all Egypt came to Joseph and said, “Give to us bread, and why should we die in your presence? For the silver is gone.”
Genesis 47:16	And Joseph said, “Give your⁺ livestock, and I will give [it] to you⁺ for your⁺ livestock, if the silver is gone.”
Genesis 47:17	And they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave to them bread for the horses, and for the livestock of the sheep, and for the livestock of the cattle, and for the donkeys. And he led them with bread for all their livestock that year.
Genesis 47:18	And that year ended, and they came to him in the second year and said to him, “we will not hide from my lord that the silver is gone and the livestock of the animals belong to my lord. Nothing remains before my lord, except our bodies and our land.
Genesis 47:19	Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we will be—we and our land—servants to Pharaoh. And give [us] seed, and we will live and not die, that the land will not be desolate.”
Genesis 47:20	And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of Egypt sold his field because the famine was severe upon them. And the land became unto Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:21	And the people—he reduced them to servitude, from one end of the border of Egypt and to its [other] end.
Genesis 47:22	Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for a fixed portion [belonged] to the priests from Pharaoh, and they ate their fixed portion that Pharaoh gave to them. Upon thus they did not sell their land.
Genesis 47:23	And Joseph said to the people, “Behold, I have bought you⁺ this day, and your⁺ land, for Pharaoh. Behold, seed for you⁺, and you⁺ shall sow the land.
Genesis 47:24	And it shall come to pass at the harvest that you⁺ shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four of the hands shall be for you⁺: As seed of the field, and for your⁺ eating, and for those in your⁺ houses, and to eat for your⁺ little ones.”
Genesis 47:25	And they said, “You have caused us to live. We find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we will be servants to Pharaoh.”
Genesis 47:26	And Joseph made it a statute to this day over the land of Egypt: For Pharaoh, the fifth. Only the land of the priests, [which is] unto them alone and has not come to belong to Pharaoh.
Genesis 47:27	And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen. And they took possession in it, and they were fruitful, and they multiplied exceedingly.
Genesis 47:28	And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seven [and] ten years, and the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were seven years and forty and a hundred years.
Genesis 47:29	And the days drew near for Israel to die, and he called for his son, for Joseph, and said to him, “If, please, I have found favor in your eyes, put, please, your hand under my thigh, and you shall do with me kindness and truth. Please, do not bury me in Egypt,
Genesis 47:30	and I shall lie with my fathers. And you shall carry me out of Egypt and you shall bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I—I will do according to your word.”
Genesis 47:31	And he said, “Swear to me.” And he swore to him, and Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.
Genesis 48:1	And it came to pass after these things, that someone said to Joseph, “Behold, your father [is] sick.” And he took his two sons with him, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Genesis 48:2	And someone told, Jacob and said, “Behold, your son Joseph has come to you.” And Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.
Genesis 48:3	And Jacob said to Joseph, “El-Shaddai appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and He blessed me
Genesis 48:4	and He said to me, ‘Behold, I am making you fruitful, and I will multiply you, and I will give you to [be] an assembly of peoples, and I will give this land to your seed after you [as] an everlasting possession.’
Genesis 48:5	And now, your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before my coming to you in Egypt, they are mine: Ephraim and Manasseh; like Reuben and like Simeon, they shall be mine.
Genesis 48:6	And your offspring, whom you beget after them, shall be yours. By the name of their brothers they will be called in their inheritance.
Genesis 48:7	And I, when I was coming from Paddan, Rachel died upon me in the land of Canaan, on the way, when [there was] a distance of land to go to to Ephrathah. And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath” (that [is], in Bethlehem).
Genesis 48:8	And Israel saw the sons of Joseph and said, “Who [are] these?”
Genesis 48:9	And Joseph said to his father, “They [are] my sons, whom God has given to me in this [place].” And he said, “Bring them, please, to me, and I will bless them.”
Genesis 48:10	And the eyes of Israel were heavy from old age; he was not able to see. And he brought them near to him, and he kissed them and he embraced them.
Genesis 48:11	And Israel said to Joseph, “To see your face I had not expected, and behold, God has shown me also your seed.”
Genesis 48:12	And Joseph brought them from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his nose to the earth.
Genesis 48:13	And Joseph took the two of them: Ephraim in his right hand, from the left of Israel, and Manasseh in his left hand, from the right of Israel, and he brought [them] near to him.
Genesis 48:14	And Israel stretched out his right hand and set [it] on the head of Ephraim—and he [was] the younger—and his left hand on the head of Manasseh; he acted wisely [with] his hands, for Manasseh [was] the firstborn.
Genesis 48:15	And he blessed Joseph and said, “God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd from my continued being unto this day,
Genesis 48:16	the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, may he bless the boys. And let my name be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, and may they multiply like fish into a multitude in the midst of the earth.”
Genesis 48:17	And Joseph saw that his father had set his right hand on the head of Ephraim, and it was evil in his eyes; and he took hold of the hand of his father to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh.
Genesis 48:18	And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this [one is] the firstborn; set your right hand on his head.”
Genesis 48:19	And his father refused and said, “I know, my son, I know! He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. And yet, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become the fullness of the nations.”
Genesis 48:20	And he blessed them that day, saying, “By you Israel will bless, saying, ‘May God make you like Ephraim and like Manasseh.’” And he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Genesis 48:21	And Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, and God will be with you⁺ and He will bring you⁺ back to the land of your⁺ fathers.
Genesis 48:22	And I, I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.”
Genesis 49:1	And Jacob called to his sons and he said, “Gather together, and I will tell you⁺ what shall befall you⁺ in the last days.
Genesis 49:2	Assemble yourselves, and listen, sons of Jacob; and listen to Israel your⁺ father.
Genesis 49:3	Reuben, you [are] my firstborn, my might, and the first of my strength, exceeding in rank, and exceeding in power.
Genesis 49:4	Uncontrolled as the waters, you shall not excel, because you went up [to the] bed of your father; then you defiled [it]—he went up [onto] my couch.
Genesis 49:5	Simeon and Levi [are] brothers; instruments of violence [are] their swords.
Genesis 49:6	Into their council let not my soul enter; to their assembly let not my honor be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their self-will they hamstrung an ox.
Genesis 49:7	Cursed [be] their anger, for it is strong, and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Genesis 49:8	Judah—you, your brothers shall praise you. Your hand [shall be] on the neck of your enemies; sons of your father shall bow down to you.
Genesis 49:9	Judah [is] a whelp of a lion; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouched, he lay down as a lion, and like a lioness, who shall rouse him?
Genesis 49:10	The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the staff from between his feet, until that he comes to Shiloh; and to him [is] the obedience of the peoples.
Genesis 49:11	Binding his donkey to the vine, and the colt of his donkey to the choice vine; he washed in the wine his garment, and in the blood of grapes his robe.
Genesis 49:12	His eyes [are] darker than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk.
Genesis 49:13	Zebulun shall dwell by the shore of the sea, and he [shall be] a haven for ships, and his border [shall be] to Sidon.
Genesis 49:14	Issachar is a strong-boned donkey, lying down between the sheepfolds.
Genesis 49:15	And he saw rest, that [its was] good, and the land, that [it was] pleasant, and he extended his shoulder to bear [a burden], and he became a servant at forced labor.
Genesis 49:16	Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Genesis 49:17	Dan shall be a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, biting the heels of the horse, and its rider falls backward.
Genesis 49:18	For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH.
Genesis 49:19	Gad—a troop shall assault him, and he will attack the heel.

Genesis 49:21	Naphtali [is] a doe set free, the one giving sayings of beauty.
Genesis 49:22	Joseph [is] a son of fruitfulness, a son of fruitfulness by a spring; daughters march over the wall.
Genesis 49:23	The masters of arrows—and they have embittered him, and shot and hated him.
Genesis 49:24	And his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob; from there [is] the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel.
Genesis 49:25	By the God of your father, and He will help you, and by Shaddai, and He will bless you [with] blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of breasts and womb.
Genesis 49:26	The blessings of your father have excelled over the blessings of my ancestors up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the prince of his brothers.
Genesis 49:27	Benjamin is a wolf [that] tears; in the morning he shall devour prey, and in the evening he shall divide spoil.”
Genesis 49:28	All these [are] two [and] ten tribes of Israel, and this [is] what their father spoke to them, and he blessed them—each one according to his own blessing, he blessed them.
Genesis 49:29	And he commanded them and he said to them, “I am being gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Genesis 49:30	in the cave that [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] before the face of Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burial place.
Genesis 49:31	There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Genesis 49:32	The field and the cave that [is] in it [were] purchased from the sons of Heth.”
Genesis 49:33	And Jacob finished commanding his sons, and he gathered his feet into the bed and he expired, and he was gathered to his people.
Genesis 50:1	And Joseph fell on the face of his father, and he wept over him, and he kissed him.
Genesis 50:2	And Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father. And the physicians embalmed Israel.
Genesis 50:3	And forty days were fulfilled for him, for such are fulfilled [are] the days for the embalming; and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.
Genesis 50:4	And the days of his weeping passed, and Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your⁺ eyes, speak, please, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying:
Genesis 50:5	My father made me swear, saying, ‘Behold, I am dying; and in my grave that I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.’ And now let me go up, please, and bury my father, and I will return.”
Genesis 50:6	And Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.”
Genesis 50:7	And Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Genesis 50:8	and all the house of Joseph, and his brothers, and the house of his father. Only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.
Genesis 50:9	And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and the camp was very large.
Genesis 50:10	And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which [is] beyond the Jordan, and they mourned there with great and very solemn lamentation, and he made seven days of mourning for his father.
Genesis 50:11	And the inhabitant of the land, the Canaanite, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, and they said, “This [is] solemn mourning for the Egyptians.” Upon thus its name was called Abel-mizraim, which [is] beyond the Jordan.
Genesis 50:12	And his sons did for him so, as he had commanded them.
Genesis 50:13	And his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, the field that Abraham bought for a possession of a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, before the face of Mamre.
Genesis 50:14	And Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers, and all who went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Genesis 50:15	And the brothers of Joseph saw that their father was dead, and they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and he will surely return to us all the evil that we did to him.”
Genesis 50:16	And they commanded to Joseph, saying, “Your father commanded before his death, saying,
Genesis 50:17	‘Thus you⁺ shall say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin, for they did to you evil.’ And now, please forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
Genesis 50:18	And his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we [are] your servants.”
Genesis 50:19	And Joseph said to them, “Fear not, for [am] I in the place of God?
Genesis 50:20	And you⁺—you⁺ intended evil against me, God intended it for good, in order to bring about a day like this, to keep alive many people.
Genesis 50:21	And now, fear not; I will provide for you⁺ and your⁺ little ones.” And he comforted them, and he spoke to their heart.
Genesis 50:22	And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and the house of his father. And Joseph lived a hundred and ten years.
Genesis 50:23	And Joseph saw the third [generation] of Ephraim’s sons. Also, the sons of Machir, son of Manasseh, were born on the knees of Joseph.
Genesis 50:24	And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am dying. And God will surely attend to you⁺ and bring you⁺ out of this land, to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
Genesis 50:25	And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely attend to you⁺, and you⁺ shall carry up my bones from this [place].”
Genesis 50:26	And Joseph died, a son of a hundred and ten years. And they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Exodus 1:1	And these [are] the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each man and his house they came:
Exodus 1:2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exodus 1:3	Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exodus 1:4	Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.
Exodus 1:5	And all the souls coming out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls, and Joseph was in Egypt.
Exodus 1:6	And Joseph died, and all his brothers, and all that generation.
Exodus 1:7	And the sons of Israel were fruitful and they swarmed, and they multiplied, and they grew mighty exceedingly, exceedingly, and the land was filled with them.
Exodus 1:8	And there arose a new king over Egypt, who had not known Joseph.
Exodus 1:9	And he said to his people, “Behold, the people of the sons of Israel [are] many and mightier than us.
Exodus 1:10	Come, let us act wisely with him, lest he multiply, and it comes to pass when war meets us, that he also may join himself to those hating us and fight against us and go up out of the land.”
Exodus 1:11	And they set over him chiefs of forced labor in order to afflict them with their burdens. And they built store cities for Pharaoh, Pithom and Rameses.
Exodus 1:12	And as they afflicted him, so he multiplied and so he burst forth. And they were in dread from the face of the sons of Israel.
Exodus 1:13	And Egypt made the sons of Israel serve with harshness,
Exodus 1:14	and they made bitter their lives with hard labor—with mortar and with bricks and with all manner of labor in the field, all their service in which they made them serve—with harshness.
Exodus 1:15	And the king of Egypt spoke to the midwives, the Hebrewesses, of whom the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the second [was] Puah.
Exodus 1:16	And he said, “When you⁺ cause the Hebrewesses to give birth and you⁺ see [them] on the birthstools, if he [is] a son, then you⁺ shall kill him; but if she [is] a daughter, then she shall live.”
Exodus 1:17	And the midwives feared God and they did not do as the king of Egypt commanded to them. And the male children they kept alive.
Exodus 1:18	And the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you⁺ done this thing and kept alive the male children?”
Exodus 1:19	And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrewesses [are] not like the Egyptian women, for they [are] lively; and before the midwife comes to them, they have given birth.”
Exodus 1:20	And God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and they grew mighty exceedingly.
Exodus 1:21	And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that He provided for them houses.
Exodus 1:22	And Pharaoh commanded to all his people, saying, “Every son born [to the Hebrews] you⁺ shall cast him into the River, and every daughter you⁺ shall let live.”
Exodus 2:1	And a man from the house of Levi went, and he took a daughter of Levi.
Exodus 2:2	And the woman conceived and bore a son, and she saw him, that he [was] good, and she hid him for three months.
Exodus 2:3	And she was not able to hid him anymore, and she took for him an ark of papyrus and daubed it with tar and with pitch, and she put the child in it and she placed it in the reeds along the edge of the River.
Exodus 2:4	And his sister stationed herself from a distance, to know what would be done to him.
Exodus 2:5	And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the River, and her maidens were walking along the hand of the River. And she saw the ark in the midst of the reeds, and she sent her maidservant and she took it.
Exodus 2:6	And she opened [it], and she saw the child, and behold, a boy weeping. And she had compassion on him, and she said, “This [is] [one of] the children of the Hebrews.”
Exodus 2:7	And his sister said to the daughter of Pharaoh, “Shall I go and call for you a nursing woman from the Hebrewesses, that she may nurse for you the child?”
Exodus 2:8	And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Go.” And the girl went and called the mother of the child.
Exodus 2:9	And the daughter of Pharaoh said to her, “Take away this child and nurse him for me, and I will give [you] your wage.” And the woman took the child and nursed him.
Exodus 2:10	And the child grew, and she brought him to the daughter of Pharaoh, and he became to her as a son. And she called his name Moses and she said, “Because I drew him out of the water.”
Exodus 2:11	And it came to pass in those days, and Moses had grown, and he went out to his brothers and he saw in their burdens, and he saw a man, an Egyptian, striking a man, a Hebrew, from his brothers.
Exodus 2:12	And he turned this way and that way, and he saw that [there was] no man, and he struck the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Exodus 2:13	And he went out on the second day, and behold, two men, Hebrews, were fighting. And he said to the wicked one, “Why do you strike your companion?”
Exodus 2:14	And he said, “Who appointed you as a man—a ruler and a judge—over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” And Moses feared and said, “Surely the matter is known.”
Exodus 2:15	And Pharaoh heard of this matter, and he sought to kill Moses. And Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and he dwelt in the land of Midian, and he sat down by the well.
Exodus 2:16	And the priest of Midian [had] seven daughters. And they came and drew water and they filled the troughs to water the flock of their father.
Exodus 2:17	And the shepherds came and drove them away, and Moses arose and saved them, and he watered their flock.
Exodus 2:18	And they came to Reuel their father, and he said, “Why have you returned so early today?”
Exodus 2:19	And they said, “A man, an Egyptian, delivered us from the hand of the shepherds, and also he has surely drawn water for us, and he watered the flock.”
Exodus 2:20	And he said to his daughters, “And where [is] he? Why [is] this, [that] you⁺ have left the man? Call to him, and let him eat bread.”
Exodus 2:21	And Moses was willing to dwell with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.
Exodus 2:22	And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom, for he said, “I have become a sojourner in a foreign land.”
Exodus 2:23	And it came to pass after those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out, and their cry went up to God because of the bondage.
Exodus 2:24	And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exodus 2:25	And God saw the sons of Israel, and God knew.
Exodus 3:1	And Moses was shepherding the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock behind the wilderness and he came to the mountain of God, [to] Horeb.
Exodus 3:2	And the angel of YHWH appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of the bush. And he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with the fire, and the bush [was] not consumed.
Exodus 3:3	And Moses said, “Let me turn aside, please, and see this great sight. Why does the bush not burn?”
Exodus 3:4	And YHWH saw that he had turned aside to look, and God called to him from the midst of the bush and He said, “Moses! Moses!” And he said, “Behold, [it is] I.”
Exodus 3:5	And He said, “Do not come near here. Remove your sandals from upon your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
Exodus 3:6	And He said, “I [am] the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look toward God.
Exodus 3:7	And YHWH said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people who [are] in Egypt, and their cry I have heard from before their taskmasters, for I know their pains;
Exodus 3:8	and I have come down to deliver them from out of the hand of Egypt and to bring them up from that land to a land good and broad, to a land flowing with milk and honey—to the place of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 3:9	And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me, and also I have seen the oppression with which Egypt is oppressing them.
Exodus 3:10	And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and you shall bring out My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.”
Exodus 3:11	And Moses said to God, “Who [am] I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?”
Exodus 3:12	And He said, “Surely I will be with you, and this [is] the sign to you that I have sent you: When you bring the people out of Egypt, you⁺ shall serve God on this mountain.”
Exodus 3:13	And Moses said to God, “Behold, I am coming to the sons of Israel and I will say to them, ‘The God of your⁺ fathers has sent me to you⁺,’ and they will say to me, ‘What [is] His name?’ What shall I say to them?”
Exodus 3:14	And God said to Moses, “Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘Ehyeh has sent me to you⁺.’”
Exodus 3:15	And God said moreover to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘YHWH, the God of your⁺ fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you⁺.’ This [is] My name forever, and this [is] My memorial from generation to generation.
Exodus 3:16	Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and say to them, ‘YHWH, the God of your⁺ fathers, has appeared to me—the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob—saying: I have surely attended to you⁺ and what is being done to you⁺ in Egypt.
Exodus 3:17	And I have said I will bring you⁺ up out of the affliction of Egypt, to the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite—to a land flowing with milk and honey.’
Exodus 3:18	And they will listen to your voice, and you shall come—you and the elders of Israel—to the king of Egypt, and you⁺ shall say to him, ‘YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. And now, let us go, please, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and let us sacrifice to YHWH our God.’
Exodus 3:19	And I know that the king of Egypt will not permit you⁺ to go, unless by a mighty hand.
Exodus 3:20	And I will stretch out My hand, and I will strike Egypt with all My wonders that I will do in its midst. And after that, he will send you⁺ out.
Exodus 3:21	And I will give favor to this people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and it will come to pass when you⁺ go, you⁺ shall not go emptily.
Exodus 3:22	And every woman shall ask from her neighbor, and from the one dwelling in her house, articles of silver, and articles of gold, and clothing. And you⁺ shall put [them] on your⁺ sons and on your⁺ daughters, and you⁺ shall plunder the Egyptians.”
Exodus 4:1	And Moses answered and said, “And if they will not give credence to me and they will not listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘YHWH has not appeared to you.’”
Exodus 4:2	And YHWH said to him, “What [is] in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.”
Exodus 4:3	And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” And he cast it to the earth, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from before it.
Exodus 4:4	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand and seize [it] by its tail”—and he stretched out his hand and grasped hold of it, and it became a staff in his palm—
Exodus 4:5	“so that they may believe that YHWH, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.”
Exodus 4:6	And furthermore YHWH said to him, “Put now your hand into your bosom.” And he put his hand into his bosom, and he took it out, and behold, his hand [was] leprous, like snow.
Exodus 4:7	And He said, “Return your hand into your bosom.” And he returned his hand into his bosom and he took it out from his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his flesh.
Exodus 4:8	“And it shall come to pass, if they will not give credence to you and they will not listen to the voice of the first sign, then they will give credence to the voice of the latter sign.
Exodus 4:9	And it shall come to pass, if they will not give credence even to these two signs and will not listen to your voice, then you shall take from the waters of the River and you shall pour [them] on the dry land, and it will happen that the waters which you take from the River, they will become blood on the dry land.”
Exodus 4:10	And Moses said to YHWH, “Please, my Lord, I [am] not a man of words, neither from yesterday nor from the day before yesterday nor from the time You have spoken to Your servant. For I [am] slow of mouth and slow of tongue.”
Exodus 4:11	And YHWH said to him, “Who has made a mouth for the man? Or who makes mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is [it] not I, YHWH?
Exodus 4:12	And now go, and I—I will be with your mouth, and I will teach you what you shall say.”
Exodus 4:13	And he said, “Please, my Lord, send, please, by the hand [of another] whom You send.”
Exodus 4:14	And the anger of YHWH burned against Moses, and He said, “Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he surely speaks. And also, behold, he is coming out to meet you, and he will see you, and he will be glad in his heart.
Exodus 4:15	And you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth, and I—I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you⁺ what you⁺ shall do.
Exodus 4:16	And he will speak for you to the people. And it shall come to pass that he shall be to you as a mouth, and you shall be to him as God.
Exodus 4:17	And this staff you shall take in your hand, with which you shall perform the signs.”
Exodus 4:18	And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Let me go, please, and return to my brothers who [are] in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
Exodus 4:19	And YHWH said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”
Exodus 4:20	And Moses took his wife and his sons, and he set them on the donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.
Exodus 4:21	And YHWH said to Moses, “When you go to return to Egypt, see all the wonders that I have put in your hand, and you do them before the face of Pharaoh. And I will strengthen his heart, and he will not send out. the people
Exodus 4:22	And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says YHWH: My son, My firstborn [is] Israel.
Exodus 4:23	And I say to you, send out My son, that he may serve Me. And if you refuse to send him out, behold, I am killing your son, your firstborn.’”
Exodus 4:24	And it came to pass on the way, at the lodging place, that YHWH met him and sought to put him to death.
Exodus 4:25	And Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son, and she touched it to his feet and said, “Surely you [are] a bridegroom of blood to me.”
Exodus 4:26	And He let him alone. (At that time she said, “[You are] a bridegroom of blood,” because of the circumcision.)
Exodus 4:27	And YHWH said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” And he went, and he met him on the mountain of God, and he kissed him.
Exodus 4:28	And Moses told Aaron all the words of YHWH with which He had sent him, and all the signs which He had commanded him.
Exodus 4:29	And Moses went—and Aaron—and they gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.
Exodus 4:30	And Aaron spoke all the words that YHWH had spoken to Moses. And he did the signs before the eyes of the people,
Exodus 4:31	and the people believed; and they heard that YHWH had visited the sons of Israel, and that He had seen their affliction. And they bowed and worshiped.
Exodus 5:1	And afterward Moses and Aaron went in and they said to Pharaoh, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘Send out My people, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness.’”
Exodus 5:2	And Pharaoh said, “Who [is] YHWH, that I should listen to His voice to send out Israel? I do not know YHWH, and moreover Israel I will not send out.”
Exodus 5:3	And they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, please, a journey of three days into the wilderness, and let us sacrifice to YHWH our God, lest He meet us with the pestilence or with the sword.”
Exodus 5:4	And the king of Egypt said to them, “Why, Moses and Aaron, do you⁺ loosen the people from their works? Go to your⁺ burdens.”
Exodus 5:5	And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land [are] many now, and you⁺ make them rest from their burdens.”
Exodus 5:6	And that day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Exodus 5:7	“You⁺ shall not continue to give straw to the people for the making of the bricks as yesterday and the day before yesterday. They shall go and gather straw for themselves.
Exodus 5:8	And the quota of bricks that they were making yesterday and the day before yesterday you⁺ shall set on them. You⁺ shall not diminish from it, for they are idle. Upon thus, they cry out, saying, ‘Let us go, let us sacrifice to our God.’
Exodus 5:9	Let the service be heavy on the men, and let them be occupied with it. And let them not pay attention to lying words.”
Exodus 5:10	And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out, and they spoke to the people, saying, “Thus says Pharaoh: ‘I am not giving straw to you⁺.
Exodus 5:11	You⁺ go, get straw for yourselves from wherever you⁺ can find it; for nothing is diminishing from your⁺ service.’”
Exodus 5:12	And the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw.
Exodus 5:13	And the taskmasters kept pressing them, saying, “Fulfill your⁺ works, the matter of a day in its day, as when there was the straw.”
Exodus 5:14	And the officers of the sons of Israel, whom the taskmasters of Pharaoh had set over them, were beaten saying, “Why have you⁺ not fulfilled your⁺ quota for making bricks as yesterday and the day before yesterday, both yesterday and today?”
Exodus 5:15	And the officers of the sons of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, “Why are you doing this to your servants?
Exodus 5:16	Straw is not being given to your servants, and they are saying to us, ‘Make bricks!’ And behold, your servants [are] beaten, and the fault [is] in your people.”
Exodus 5:17	And he said, “You⁺ [are] idle—idle! Upon thus you⁺ are saying, ‘Let us go, let us sacrifice to YHWH.’
Exodus 5:18	And now, go—work! And straw shall not be given to you⁺, and the quota of bricks you⁺ shall deliver.”
Exodus 5:19	And the officers of the sons of Israel saw themselves in trouble, in saying, “You⁺ shall not diminish from your⁺ bricks, the matter of a day in its day.”
Exodus 5:20	And they met Moses and Aaron, who were standing to meet them as they came out from Pharaoh.
Exodus 5:21	And they said to them, “May YHWH look on you⁺ and judge, because you⁺ have made our scent stink in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.”
Exodus 5:22	And Moses returned to YHWH and said, “My Lord, why have You done evil to this people? [Is] this why You have sent me?
Exodus 5:23	And since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; and deliver—You have not delivered—Your people.”
Exodus 6:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a mighty hand he will send them out, and by a mighty hand he will drive them out from his land.”
Exodus 6:2	And God spoke to Moses, and He said to him, “I [am] YHWH,
Exodus 6:3	and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai; and [by] My name YHWH I was not known to them.
Exodus 6:4	And also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourning, in which they sojourned.
Exodus 6:5	And also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel whom Egypt is making serve, and I have remembered My covenant.
Exodus 6:6	Therefore say to the sons of Israel, ‘I [am] YHWH, and I will bring you⁺ out from under the burdens of Egypt, and I will deliver you⁺ from their service, and I will redeem you⁺ with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
Exodus 6:7	And I will take you⁺ to Me for a people, and I will be to you⁺ for God; and you⁺ shall know that I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, the One bringing you⁺ out from under the burdens of Egypt.
Exodus 6:8	And I will bring you⁺ into the land that I lifted up my hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And I will give it to you⁺ as a possession. I [am] YHWH!’”
Exodus 6:9	And Moses spoke in this way to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, from shortness of spirit and from hard service.
Exodus 6:10	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 6:11	“Go in, tell to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he shall send out the sons of Israel from his land.”
Exodus 6:12	And Moses spoke before the face of YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; and how shall Pharaoh listen to me, and I [am] uncircumcised of lips?”

Exodus 6:30	And Moses said before the face of YHWH, “Behold, I [am] uncircumcised of lips, and how will Pharaoh listen to me?”
Exodus 7:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “See, I have made you God to Pharaoh, and Aaron your brother shall be your prophet.

Exodus 7:17	Thus says YHWH: By this you shall know that I [am] YHWH. Behold, I am striking with the staff that [is] in my hand upon the waters that [are] in the River, and they shall be turned to blood.

Exodus 8:3	And the River shall teem [with] frogs, and they shall go up and come into your house, and into your bedroom, and onto your bed, and into the house of your servants, and on your people, and into your ovens, and into your kneading bowls.
Exodus 8:4	And on you and on your people and on all your servants the frogs shall come up.’”
Exodus 8:5	And YHWH said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams, and over the ponds, and bring up the frogs on the land of Egypt.’”
Exodus 8:6	And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frog came up and covered the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:7	And the magicians with their secret arts did so, and they brought up the frogs on the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:8	And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Pray to YHWH, that He may take away the frogs from me and from my people. and I will send out, the people that they may sacrifice to YHWH.”
Exodus 8:9	And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Glorify yourself over me—for when shall I pray for you and for your servants, and for your people, to cut off the frogs from you and from your houses? Only in the River they shall remain.”
Exodus 8:10	And he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “[Let it be] according to your word, so that you may know that [there is] none like YHWH our God.
Exodus 8:11	And the frogs shall depart from you, and from your houses, and from your servants, and from your people. Only in the River they shall remain.”
Exodus 8:12	And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh, and Moses cried out to YHWH concerning the matter of the frogs which He had placed upon Pharaoh.
Exodus 8:13	And YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and the frogs died from the houses, from the courtyards, and from the fields.
Exodus 8:14	And they piled them up in heaps of heaps, and the land stank.
Exodus 8:15	And Pharaoh saw that there was relief, and he made heavy his heart, and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken.
Exodus 8:16	And YHWH said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the land, and it shall become gnats in all the land of Egypt.’”
Exodus 8:17	And they did so, and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the land, and it became the gnat on the man and on the beast. All the dust of the land became gnats in all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 8:18	And the magicians with their secret arts did so to bring forth the gnats, and they could not. And the gnat was on the man and on the beast.
Exodus 8:19	And the magicians said to Pharaoh, “It [is] the finger of God.” And the heart of Pharaoh was strengthened, and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken.
Exodus 8:20	And YHWH said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before the face of Pharaoh—behold, he is going out to the water—and say to him, thus says YHWH: ‘Send out My people, that they may serve Me.
Exodus 8:21	For if you will not send out My people, behold, I am sending on you and on your servants and on your people and into your houses the swarm. And the houses of Egypt shall be full of the swarm, and also the ground on which they [are].
Exodus 8:22	And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people are standing, that no swarm shall be there, in order that you may know that I, YHWH, [am] in the midst of the land.
Exodus 8:23	And I will make a distinction between My people and between your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.’”
Exodus 8:24	And YHWH did so, and heavy swarms came into the house of Pharaoh and the house of his servants, and into all the land of Egypt; the land was ruined from before the swarm.
Exodus 8:25	And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your⁺ God in the land.”
Exodus 8:26	And Moses said, “It is not right to do so, for the abomination of Egypt we shall sacrifice to YHWH our God. Behold, shall we sacrifice the abomination of Egypt before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Exodus 8:27	A journey of three days we will go into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to YHWH our God, as He says to us.”
Exodus 8:28	And Pharaoh said, “I will send you⁺ out, and you⁺ shall sacrifice to YHWH your⁺ God in the wilderness. Only you⁺ shall not go very far away. Pray for me.”
Exodus 8:29	And Moses said, “Behold, I am going out from you, and I will pray to YHWH, and the swarm shall depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people tomorrow. Only let Pharaoh not again deal deceitfully in not sending out the people to sacrifice to YHWH.”
Exodus 8:30	And Moses went out from Pharaoh and prayed to YHWH.
Exodus 8:31	And YHWH did according to the word of Moses, and He removed the swarm from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.
Exodus 8:32	And Pharaoh made heavy his heart also at this time, and he did not send out the people.
Exodus 9:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and speak to him: Thus says YHWH God of the Hebrews, ‘Send out, My people that they may serve Me.
Exodus 9:2	For if you refuse to send [them] out, and you are still holding on to them,
Exodus 9:3	behold, the hand of YHWH will be on your livestock that are in the field—on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the cattle, and on the flocks—a very severe pestilence.
Exodus 9:4	And YHWH will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and between the livestock of Egypt, and not a thing shall die from all [that belongs] to the sons of Israel.’”
Exodus 9:5	And YHWH set an appointed time, saying, “Tomorrow YHWH will do this thing in the land.”
Exodus 9:6	And YHWH did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died. And from the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died.
Exodus 9:7	And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not even one of the livestock of Israel had died. And the heart of Pharaoh was heavy, and he did not send out. the people
Exodus 9:8	And YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron, “Take for yourselves the fullness of both palms of soot of a furnace, and Moses shall scatter it toward the heavens before the eyes of Pharaoh.
Exodus 9:9	And it will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and it shall become boils bursting [with] blisters, on man and on beast, in all the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 9:10	And they took soot of the furnace and stood before the face of Pharaoh. And Moses scattered it toward the heavens, and it became boils [with] blisters bursting, on the man and on the beast.
Exodus 9:11	And the magicians were not able to stand before the face of Moses, because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all Egypt.
Exodus 9:12	And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not listen to them, as YHWH had spoken to Moses.
Exodus 9:13	And YHWH said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before the face of Pharaoh and say to him: Thus says YHWH God of the Hebrews, ‘Send out My people, that they may serve Me.
Exodus 9:14	For at this time I am sending all My plagues to your heart, and on your servants, and on your people, in order that you may know that [there is] none like Me in all the earth.
Exodus 9:15	For now I could have stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with the pestilence, and you would have been cut off from the earth.
Exodus 9:16	But indeed for this reason I have caused you to stand, in order to show you My power, and in order to proclaim My name in all the earth.
Exodus 9:17	Still you are exalting yourself over My people, so as not to send them out.
Exodus 9:18	Behold, about this time tomorrow I am raining down very heavy hail, such as has not been like it in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.
Exodus 9:19	And now, send—have your livestock brought in, and all that you have in the field; every man and beast that is found in the field and is not gathered to the house—the hail shall come down on them, and they shall die.’”
Exodus 9:20	The one who fears the word of YHWH among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his livestock flee into the houses.
Exodus 9:21	And he who did not set his heart to the word of YHWH left his servants and his livestock in the field.
Exodus 9:22	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there shall be hail in all the land of Egypt, on the man, and on the beast, and on every plant of the field in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 9:23	And Moses stretched out his staff toward the heavens, and YHWH gave voices and hail, and fire went to the earth. And YHWH rained down hail on the land of Egypt.
Exodus 9:24	And there was hail, and fire coming in the middle of the hail, very heavy, such as that there was none like it in all the land of Egypt from the time it became a nation.
Exodus 9:25	And the hail struck in all land of Egypt all that [was] in the field—from man even to beast—and every plant of the field. The hail struck and shattered every tree of the field.
Exodus 9:26	Only in the land of Goshen, where there [were] the sons of Israel, there was no hail.
Exodus 9:27	And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and for Aaron and said to them, “I have sinned this time. YHWH [is] the righteous one, and I and my people [are] the wicked ones.
Exodus 9:28	Pray to YHWH, for there has been too much of God’s voices and hail. And I will send you⁺ out, and you shall no longer stay.”
Exodus 9:29	And Moses said to him, “As I leave the city, I will spread out my hands to YHWH, and the voices will cease, and there will not be the hail anymore, in order that you may know that the earth belongs to YHWH.
Exodus 9:30	And as for you and your servants, I know that (you⁺ do not yet fear from before the face of YHWH God.”
Exodus 9:31	(And the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley [was] in ear, and the flax [was] in bud.
Exodus 9:32	And the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they [are] late crops.)
Exodus 9:33	And Moses went out from Pharaoh, out of the city, and he spread out his hands to YHWH, and the voices and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Exodus 9:34	And Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the voices had ceased, and he continued to sin and made heavy his heart—he and his servants.
Exodus 9:35	And the heart of Pharaoh was strengthened, and he did not send out the sons of Israel, as YHWH had spoken by the hand Moses.
Exodus 10:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have made heavy his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may set these signs of Mine within him,
Exodus 10:2	and so that you may recount in the ears of your son and the son of your son how I have dealt severely with Egypt, and My signs that I have set among them, and you⁺ shall know that I [am] YHWH.”
Exodus 10:3	And Moses came in—and Aaron—to Pharaoh, and they said to him, “Thus says YHWH God of the Hebrews, ‘Until when will you refuse to humble yourself before My face? Send out My people, that they may serve Me.
Exodus 10:4	For if you refuse to send out My people, behold, tomorrow I am bringing the locust into your territory.
Exodus 10:5	And it shall cover the eye of the land, so that no one will be able to see the land. And it shall eat the remnant of what is left, what remains for you⁺ from the hail, and it shall eat every tree that grows for you⁺ from the field.
Exodus 10:6	And they shall fill your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all Egypt—which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, from the day that they were on the earth to this day.’” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
Exodus 10:7	And the servants of Pharaoh said to him, “Until when shall this one be a snare to us? Send out the men, that they may serve YHWH their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt has perished?”
Exodus 10:8	And Moses and Aaron were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve YHWH your⁺ God! Who and who [are] the ones going?”
Exodus 10:9	And Moses said, “With our young and with our old we will go, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds we will go, for [it is] a feast of YHWH for us.”
Exodus 10:10	And he said to them, “Thus may YHWH be with you⁺ when I send out you⁺, and your⁺ little ones. See, for evil [is] before your⁺ faces.
Exodus 10:11	Not so! Go now, the men, and serve YHWH. For that is what you⁺ are seeking.” And they were driven out from the face of Pharaoh.
Exodus 10:12	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locust, and they shall go up upon the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land—all that the hail has left.”
Exodus 10:13	And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and YHWH drove an east wind over the land all that day and all the night. And when it was the morning, the east wind brought the locust.
Exodus 10:14	And the locust went up over all the land of Egypt and rested in all the territory of Egypt. [It was] very severe; before them there had never been such a locust as it, and after it there shall never be such.
Exodus 10:15	And it covered the eye of all the land, and the land was darkened. And it ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. And there remained nothing green on the trees or on the plants of the field in all the land of Egypt.
Exodus 10:16	And Pharaoh hurried to call for Moses and for Aaron and said, “I have sinned against YHWH your⁺ God and against you⁺.
Exodus 10:17	And now forgive, please, my sin only this once, and pray to YHWH your⁺ God He may take away from me only this death.”
Exodus 10:18	And he went out from Pharaoh, and he prayed to YHWH.
Exodus 10:19	And YHWH turned a very mighty sea wind, and it lifted up the locust and blew it into the Red Sea. There remained not one locust in all the territory of Egypt.
Exodus 10:20	And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send out the sons of Israel.
Exodus 10:21	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and there shall be darkness over the land of Egypt, a darkness that can be felt.”
Exodus 10:22	And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
Exodus 10:23	They could not see, each man his brother, and no man rose from his place [for] three days. And for all the sons of Israel there was light in their dwellings.
Exodus 10:24	And Pharaoh called to Moses and said, “Go, serve YHWH. Only your⁺ flocks and your⁺ herds shall stay behind; also your⁺ little ones shall go with you⁺.”
Exodus 10:25	And Moses said, “You also must give into our hands sacrifices and burnt offerings, and we shall make [them] to YHWH our God.
Exodus 10:26	And also our livestock shall go with us. Not a hoof shall remain, for from it we shall take to serve YHWH our God, and we do not know with what we shall serve YHWH until we arrive there.”
Exodus 10:27	And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he was not willing to send them out.
Exodus 10:28	And Pharaoh said to him, “Go away from me! Take heed to yourself—do not again see my face! For in the day you see my face, you shall die!”
Exodus 10:29	And Moses said, “Thus you have spoken! I will not ever again see your face!”
Exodus 11:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “One more plague I will bring on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will send you⁺ out from this [place]. When he sends [you] out, he will surely drive you out completely from this [place].
Exodus 11:2	Speak now in the ears of the people, and let each man ask from his neighbor, and each woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold.”
Exodus 11:3	And YHWH gave the people favor in the eyes of Egypt. Moreover, the man Moses [was] very great in the land of Egypt, in the eyes of the servants of Pharaoh and in the eyes of the people.
Exodus 11:4	And Moses said, “Thus says YHWH: ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Egypt,
Exodus 11:5	and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the maidservant who [is] behind the handmill, and every firstborn of a beast.
Exodus 11:6	And there shall be a great cry in all the land of Egypt, such as there has never been, and never shall be like it again.
Exodus 11:7	And against all the sons of Israel a dog shall not sharpen its tongue, against man even to beast,’ so that you⁺ may know that YHWH distinguishes between Egypt and between Israel.
Exodus 11:8	And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow themselves to me, saying, ‘Go out, you and all the people who [are] at your feet.’ And after that I will go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh with burning anger.
Exodus 11:9	And YHWH said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you⁺, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
Exodus 11:10	And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before the face of Pharaoh, and YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not send out the sons of Israel from his land.
Exodus 12:1	And YHWH said to Moses and to Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exodus 12:2	“This month [shall be] for you⁺ the beginning of months; it [shall be] for you⁺ the first of the months of the year.
Exodus 12:3	Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, on the tenth of this month, and they shall take for themselves—each man—a lamb, according to the house of the fathers, a lamb for a house.
Exodus 12:4	And if the house is too small for a lamb, then he and his neighbor who is near to his house shall take [it] by the number of souls, each man according to the mouth of his eating, you⁺ shall count for the lamb.
Exodus 12:5	An unblemished lamb, a male, a son of a year, shall be for you⁺. You⁺ shall take [it] from the sheep or from the goats.
Exodus 12:6	And it shall be kept for you⁺ until the four [and] tenth day of this month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall slaughter it between the evenings,
Exodus 12:7	and they shall take from the blood and put [it] on the two doorposts and on the lintel on the houses in which they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:8	And they shall eat the flesh on this night; roasted in fire and with unleavened [bread] [and] with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:9	You⁺ shall not eat from it raw or boiled boiling—in water—but only roasted in fire, its head with its legs, and with its entrails.
Exodus 12:10	And you⁺ shall not leave from it until morning. And what remains from it until morning you⁺ shall burn with the fire.
Exodus 12:11	And thus you⁺ shall eat it: your⁺ loins girded, your⁺ sandals on your⁺ feet, and your⁺ staff in your⁺ hand; and you⁺ shall eat it in haste. It [is] YHWH's Passover.
Exodus 12:12	And I will pass through the land of Egypt on this night, and I will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man even to beast; and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I [am] YHWH.
Exodus 12:13	And the blood shall be a sign for you⁺ on the houses where you⁺ are, and I will see the blood, and I will pass over you⁺, and there shall not be among you⁺ a plague for destruction, in my striking in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:14	And this day shall be for you⁺ a memorial, and you⁺ shall celebrate it. as a feast to YHWH throughout your⁺ generations an everlasting—statute—you⁺ shall celebrate it.
Exodus 12:15	Seven days you⁺ shall eat unleavened [bread]; indeed, on the first day you⁺ shall remove leaven from your⁺ houses, for anyone eating leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus 12:16	And on the first day there shall be for you⁺ a holy convocation, and on the seventh day, a holy convocation. No manner of work shall be done on them, except [that] which every soul must eat—that alone may be done by you⁺.
Exodus 12:17	And you⁺ shall keep the Unleavened, for on this same day I brought out your⁺ armies from the land of Egypt. And you⁺ shall keep this day throughout your⁺ generations—an everlasting statute.
Exodus 12:18	In the first [month], on the four [and] tenth day of the month, in the evening, you⁺ shall eat unleavened [bread], until the first and twentieth day of the month in the evening.

Exodus 12:20	Anything leavened you⁺ shall not eat; in all your⁺ dwellings you⁺ shall eat unleavened [bread].”
Exodus 12:21	And Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Draw out and take for yourselves lambs according to your⁺ families, and slaughter the Passover.
Exodus 12:22	And you⁺ shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip [it] in the blood that [is] in the basin, and you⁺ shall touch [it] to the lintel and to the two doorposts from the blood that [is] in the basin. and you⁺—each man—shall not go out from the door of his house until morning.
Exodus 12:23	And YHWH will pass through to strike Egypt, and He will see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and YHWH will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your⁺ houses to strike [you].
Exodus 12:24	And you⁺ shall keep this word as a statute for you and for your sons unto eternity.
Exodus 12:25	And it shall come to pass, when you⁺ come to the land that YHWH will give to you⁺ as He has spoken, that you⁺ will keep this service.
Exodus 12:26	And it shall be, when your⁺ sons say to you⁺, ‘What [is] this service to you⁺?’
Exodus 12:27	And you⁺ shall say, ‘It [is] a sacrifice of Passover to YHWH, who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He struck Egypt, and our houses He delivered.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
Exodus 12:28	And the sons of Israel went and did as YHWH had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
Exodus 12:29	And it came to pass at midnight that YHWH struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who [is] in the house of the pit, and every firstborn of a beast.
Exodus 12:30	And Pharaoh rose in the night, he and all his servants and all Egypt, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for [there was] not a house where there [was] not a dead person.
Exodus 12:31	And he called for Moses and for Aaron by night and said, “Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both you⁺ and the sons of Israel. And go, serve YHWH, according to your⁺ word.
Exodus 12:32	Also take your⁺ flocks and also your⁺ herds as you⁺ have spoken, and go, and bless me also!”

Exodus 12:37	And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from little ones.
Exodus 12:38	And a mixed multitude also went up with them, and flock and herd—very much livestock.
Exodus 12:39	And they baked the dough that they brought out from Egypt, of unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened for they were driven out from Egypt and were not able to delay, and also they had not made provisions for themselves.
Exodus 12:40	And the dwelling of the sons of Israel who lived in Egypt thirty years. and four hundred years
Exodus 12:41	And it came to pass at the end of thirty years and four hundred years—and it came to pass on this same day—that all the armies of YHWH went out from the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:45	A sojourner and a hireling shall not eat of it.

Exodus 12:47	All the congregation of Israel shall do it.
Exodus 12:48	And when a sojourner sojourns with you, and he does the Passover to YHWH, every male of his shall be circumcised; and then he may come near to do it, and he shall be as a native of the land. And any uncircumcised person shall not eat of it.
Exodus 12:49	One law shall be for the native and for the sojourner who is sojourning in your⁺ midst.”
Exodus 12:50	And all the sons of Israel did as YHWH commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.
Exodus 12:51	And it came to pass on this very same day that YHWH brought out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt by their armies.
Exodus 13:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 13:2	“Sanctify to Me every firstborn—the one opening every womb among the sons of Israel, among the man and among the beast, it [belongs] to Me.”

Exodus 13:4	On this day in the month of Abib you⁺ are going out.
Exodus 13:5	And it shall come to pass when YHWH brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which He swore to your fathers to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, and you shall serve this service in this month.

Exodus 13:17	And it came to pass, when Pharaoh sent out the people, that God did not lead them [by] way of the land of the Philistines, although it [was] near. For God said, “Lest the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt.”

Exodus 14:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 14:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, that they turn back and camp before the face of Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and between the sea, before the face of Baal-zephon. Before it you⁺ shall camp by the sea.
Exodus 14:3	And Pharaoh will say of the sons of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed in on them.’
Exodus 14:4	And I will strengthen the heart of Pharaoh, and he will pursue after them. And I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that Egypt shall know that I [am] YHWH.” And they did so.
Exodus 14:5	And it was told to the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people, and they said, “What [is] this [that] we have done, that we have sent out Israel from serving us?”
Exodus 14:6	And he harnessed his chariot, and he took his people with him.
Exodus 14:7	And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
Exodus 14:8	And YHWH strengthened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel were going out with hand held high.
Exodus 14:9	And Egypt pursued after them—and all the horses [and] chariots of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army—and overtook them camping by the sea by Pi-hahiroth before the face of Baal-zephon.
Exodus 14:10	And Pharaoh drew near, and the sons of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, Egypt was journeying after them, and they were very afraid. And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH.
Exodus 14:11	And they said to Moses, “Because [there were] no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? What [is] this you have done to us, to bring us out from Egypt?
Exodus 14:12	[Is] this not the word that we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, ‘Leave us alone, and we will serve Egypt.’? For [it is] better for us to serve Egypt than to die in the wilderness.”
Exodus 14:13	And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still and see the salvation of YHWH, which He will do for you⁺ today; for the Egyptians whom you⁺ see today, you shall see never again, unto eternity.
Exodus 14:14	YHWH will fight for you⁺, and you⁺—you⁺ shall be silent.”
Exodus 14:15	And YHWH said to Moses, “Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the sons of Israel, and they shall journey on.
Exodus 14:16	And you, lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the sons of Israel shall go in the midst of the sea on the dry land.
Exodus 14:17	And I, behold, I will strengthen the heart of the Egyptians, and they will come in after them. And I will gain honor through Pharaoh and through all his army, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.
Exodus 14:18	And the Egyptians shall know that I [am] YHWH, when I have gained honor for Myself through Pharaoh, through his chariots, and through his horsemen.”
Exodus 14:19	And the angel of God, who was going before the face of the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them, and the pillar of cloud moved from before their face and stood behind them.
Exodus 14:20	And it came between the camp of Egypt and between the camp of Israel; and it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by the night. And this one did not come near to the other all the night.
Exodus 14:21	And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and YHWH drove [back] the sea by a strong east wind all that night, and He made the sea into the dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exodus 14:22	And the sons of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters [were] a wall to them from their right and from their left.
Exodus 14:23	And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them—all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen—into the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:24	And it came to pass in the watch of the morning that YHWH looked down to the camp of Egypt through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He threw into confusion the camp of Egypt.
Exodus 14:25	And He turned aside the wheel of their chariots, and made it drive with heaviness. And Egypt said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for YHWH is fighting for them against Egypt.”
Exodus 14:26	And YHWH said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, and the waters shall return upon Egypt, on their chariots, and on their horsemen.”
Exodus 14:27	And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its strength at the turning of the morning. And Egypt was fleeing toward it, and YHWH shook Egypt in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 14:28	And the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, to all the army of Pharaoh that had come in after them into the sea. Not so much as one of them remained.
Exodus 14:29	And the sons of Israel had walked on the dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters [were] a wall to them from their right and from their left.
Exodus 14:30	And YHWH saved Israel on that day out of the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the edge of the sea.
Exodus 14:31	And Israel saw the great hand which YHWH had done against Egypt, and the people feared YHWH, and they believed in YHWH and in Moses His servant.
Exodus 15:1	Then Moses sang—and the sons of Israel—this song to YHWH, and they spoke, saying: “I will sing to YHWH, for He has greatly triumphed; the horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.
Exodus 15:2	My strength and song [is] YAH, and He has become my salvation. This [is] my God, and I will praise Him, God of My father, and I will exalt Him.
Exodus 15:3	YHWH [is] a man of war; YHWH [is] His name.
Exodus 15:4	The chariots of Pharaoh and his army He has cast into the sea, and the choice of his captains are sunk in the Red Sea.
Exodus 15:5	The depths cover them; they went down into the depths like a stone.
Exodus 15:6	Your right hand, O YHWH, is glorious in power. Your right hand, O YHWH, shatters the enemy.
Exodus 15:7	And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those rising against You. You send forth Your burning anger; it consumes them like stubble.
Exodus 15:8	And by the breath of Your nostrils the waters were gathered together; the flowing waters stood upright like a heap; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.
Exodus 15:9	The enemy said, ‘I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my soul shall be filled with them. I will draw my sword; my hand shall destroy them.’
Exodus 15:10	You blew with Your breath; the sea covered them; they sank like lead in mighty waters.
Exodus 15:11	Who [is] like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who [is] like You, majestic in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exodus 15:12	You stretched out Your right hand; the earth swallowed them.
Exodus 15:13	You have led forth in Your loving devotion the people whom You have redeemed; You have guided [them] in Your strength to Your holy habitation.
Exodus 15:14	Peoples heard; they are troubled. Anguish seized those dwelling in Philistia.
Exodus 15:15	Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed; the mighty men of Moab; trembling seized them; all those dwelling in Canaan melted away.
Exodus 15:16	Fear and dread will fall on them; by the greatness of Your arm they will be [as] still as a stone, until Your people pass over, O YHWH, until the people whom You have purchased pass over.
Exodus 15:17	You will bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your inheritance—the place for Your own dwelling, [which] You have made, O YHWH, the sanctuary, O Lord, [that] Your hands have established.
Exodus 15:18	YHWH shall reign forever and ever.”
Exodus 15:19	For the horses of Pharaoh went in, with his chariots and with his horsemen, into the sea, and YHWH brought back upon them the waters of the sea, and the sons of Israel walked on the dry land in the midst of the sea.
Exodus 15:20	And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Exodus 15:21	And Miriam answered them, “Sing to YHWH, for He has greatly triumphed; the horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea.”
Exodus 15:22	And Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.
Exodus 15:23	And they came to Marah, and they were not able to drink the waters of Marah, for they [were] bitter. (Upon thus its name was called Marah.)
Exodus 15:24	And the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”
Exodus 15:25	And he cried out to YHWH, and YHWH showed him a tree, and he cast [it] into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them.
Exodus 15:26	And He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of YHWH your God, and do what is right in His eyes, and you give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes; all of the diseases that I have brought on Egypt I will not put on you, for I [am] YHWH who heals you.”
Exodus 15:27	And they came to Elim, and there [were] two [and] ten wells of water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.
Exodus 16:1	And they journeyed from Elim, all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and between Sinai, on the five [and] tenth day of the second month after they had departed from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 16:2	And all congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron in the wilderness.
Exodus 16:3	And the sons of Israel said to them, “Would that we had died by the hand of YHWH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of flesh, when we ate bread to the full. For you⁺ have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”
Exodus 16:4	And YHWH said to Moses, “Behold, I am raining down for you⁺ bread from the heavens, and the people shall go out and gather the portion of a day in its day, so that I may test them whether they will walk in My law or not.
Exodus 16:5	And it shall be on the sixth day that they shall prepare what they bring in, and it shall be double over what they gather day [by] day.”
Exodus 16:6	And Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, “And you⁺ shall know at evening that YHWH has brought you⁺ out from the land of Egypt,
Exodus 16:7	and in the morning you⁺ shall see the glory of YHWH, in His hearing your⁺ complaints against YHWH. And what [are] we, that you⁺ grumble against us?”
Exodus 16:8	And Moses said, “In YHWH giving to you⁺ flesh in the evening to eat, and bread in the morning to the full, in YHWH hearing your⁺ complaints that you⁺ complain against Him. And what [are] we? Your⁺ complaints [are] not against us, but against YHWH.”
Exodus 16:9	And Moses said to Aaron, “Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ‘Come near before YHWH, for He has heard your⁺ complaints.’”
Exodus 16:10	And it came to pass as Aaron spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, that they turned toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of YHWH appeared in the cloud.
Exodus 16:11	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 16:12	“I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel. Speak to them, saying, ‘Between the evenings you⁺ shall eat flesh, and in the morning you⁺ shall be filled [with] bread, and you⁺ shall know that I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’”
Exodus 16:13	And it came to pass in the evening that the quail came up and covered the camp, and in the morning the dew was lying around the camp.
Exodus 16:14	And the lying of the dew went up, and behold, on the face of the wilderness a thin, flaky substance, [as] thin as frost on the earth.
Exodus 16:15	And the sons of Israel saw [it], and they said, each man to his brother, “What [is] it?” For they did not know what it [was]. And Moses said to them, “It [is] the bread that YHWH has given to you⁺ for food.
Exodus 16:16	This [is] the word that YHWH has commanded: ‘Let every man gather from it, according to the mouths of his eating, an omer for each person; [to] the number of your⁺ souls, each man shall take for those who [are] in his tent.’”
Exodus 16:17	And the sons of Israel did so. And they gathered—the one much, and the one little.
Exodus 16:18	And they measured [it] with the omer, and he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Each man gathered according to the mouths of his eating.
Exodus 16:19	And Moses said to them, “Let no man leave any of it until morning.”
Exodus 16:20	And they did not listen to Moses, and [some] men left from it until morning, and it bred worms and stank. And Moses was angry with them.
Exodus 16:21	And they gathered it morning by morning, each man according to the mouths of his eating; and when the sun grew hot, it melted.
Exodus 16:22	And it came to pass, on the sixth day, [that] they gathered double bread—two omers for each one—and all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.
Exodus 16:23	And he said to them, “This [is] what YHWH has said: ‘Tomorrow [is] a complete rest, a holy Sabbath to YHWH,. What you⁺ bake, bake, and what you⁺ boil, boil; and all that remains, lay up for yourselves to be kept until the morning.’”
Exodus 16:24	And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses had commanded, and it did not stink, and there were no worms in it.
Exodus 16:25	And Moses said, “Eat it today; for today [is] a Sabbath to YHWH; today you⁺ will not find it in the field.
Exodus 16:26	Six days you⁺ shall gather it, and on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none in it.”
Exodus 16:27	And it came to pass on the seventh day, [that some] of the people went out to gather, and they found none.
Exodus 16:28	And YHWH said to Moses, “How long do you⁺ refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?
Exodus 16:29	See that YHWH has given to you⁺ the Sabbath; upon thus He gives to you⁺ on the sixth day bread for two days. Let each man remain in his place; let no man go out from his place on the seventh day.”
Exodus 16:30	And the people rested on the seventh day.
Exodus 16:31	And the house of Israel called its name Manna, and it [was] like white coriander seed, and its taste [was] like wafers with honey.
Exodus 16:32	And Moses said, “This [is] the word that YHWH has commanded: ‘The fullness of an omer from it [is] to be kept for your⁺ generations, so that they may see the bread with which I fed you⁺ in the wilderness when I brought you⁺ out from the land of Egypt.’”
Exodus 16:33	And Moses said to Aaron, “Take one pot, and put there the fullness of an omer of manna, and lay it up before the face of YHWH to be kept for your⁺ generations.”
Exodus 16:34	And as YHWH commanded Moses, Aaron laid it up before the face of the Testimony to be kept.
Exodus 16:35	And the sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
Exodus 16:36	And an omer is a tenth of an ephah.
Exodus 17:1	And all the congregation of the sons of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sin on their journeys, according to the mouth of YHWH. And they camped in Rephidim, and [there was] no water for the people to drink.
Exodus 17:2	And the people contended with Moses and said, “Give to us water, that we may drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you⁺ contend with me? Why do you⁺ test YHWH?”
Exodus 17:3	And the people thirsted there for water, and the people grumbled against Moses and said, “Why [is] this—you have brought us up from Egypt to kill me and my sons and my livestock with thirst?”
Exodus 17:4	And Moses cried out to YHWH, saying, “What shall I do for this people? A little longer and they will stone me!”
Exodus 17:5	And YHWH said to Moses, “Pass on before the face of the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel. And your staff with which you struck the River, take in your hand and go.
Exodus 17:6	Behold, I am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb, and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out from it, and the people will drink.” And Moses did so in the eyes of the elders of Israel.
Exodus 17:7	And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of the sons of Israel, and because of their testing of YHWH, saying, “Is YHWH among us, or not?”
Exodus 17:8	And Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Exodus 17:9	And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men and go out—fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill, and the staff of God [will be] in my hand.”
Exodus 17:10	And Joshua did as Moses said to him, to fight with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Exodus 17:11	And it came to pass when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, that Amalek prevailed.
Exodus 17:12	And the hands of Moses [became] heavy, and they took a stone and put [it] under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands—one from this, and one from that—and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Exodus 17:13	And Joshua weakened Amalek and his people with the mouth of the sword.
Exodus 17:14	And YHWH said to Moses, “Write this [for] a memorial in the book, and put [it] in the ears of Joshua, that I will surely blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens.”
Exodus 17:15	And Moses built an altar and called its name YHWH-Nissi.
Exodus 17:16	And he said, “Because a hand [is] on the throne of YAH, war belongs to YHWH with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Exodus 18:1	And Jethro priest of Midian, father-in-law of Moses, heard all that God had done for Moses and for His people Israel, that YHWH had brought Israel out from Egypt.
Exodus 18:2	And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, took Zipporah, wife of Moses, after he had sent her back,
Exodus 18:3	and her two sons, of whom the name of one [was] Gershom, for he said, “I have been a sojourner in a foreign land.”
Exodus 18:4	And the name of the one [was] Eliezer, for, “The God of my father [was] my help and He delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh.”
Exodus 18:5	And Jethro father-in-law of Moses came—and his sons and his wife—to Moses, to the wilderness, where he was camping at the mountain of God.
Exodus 18:6	And he had said to Moses, “I, your father-in-law Jethro, am coming to you, and your wife and her two sons with her.”
Exodus 18:7	And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed himself and kissed him, and they asked, each man to his neighbor, of their welfare, and they went into the tent.
Exodus 18:8	And Moses recounted to his father-in-law all that YHWH had done to Pharaoh and to Egypt for the sake of Israel, all the hardship that had found them on the way, and [how] YHWH had delivered them.
Exodus 18:9	And Jethro rejoiced over all the good that YHWH had done for Israel, that He had delivered them from the hand of Egypt.
Exodus 18:10	And Jethro said, “Blessed [be] YHWH, who delivered you⁺ from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of Pharaoh, who delivered the people from under the hand of Egypt.
Exodus 18:11	Now I know that YHWH [is] greater than all the gods, for in the matter in which they acted proudly [He was] above them.”
Exodus 18:12	And Jethro, father-in-law of Moses, took a burnt offering and sacrifices to God, and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with the father-in-law of Moses before the face of God.
Exodus 18:13	And it came to pass on the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood before Moses from the morning until the evening.
Exodus 18:14	And the father-in-law of Moses saw all that he was doing to the people, and he said, “What [is] this thing that you are doing to the people? Why do you sit by yourself, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?”
Exodus 18:15	And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God.
Exodus 18:16	When they have a matter, they come to me, and I judge between a man and between his neighbor, and I make known the statutes of God and His laws.”
Exodus 18:17	And the father-in-law of Moses said to him, “The thing that you are doing [is] not good.
Exodus 18:18	You will surely wear out, both you and this people who [are] with you. For this thing [is] too heavy for you; you are not able to do it by yourself.
Exodus 18:19	Now listen to my voice; I will counsel you, and God will be with you. You must be for the people before God, and you—you shall bring the matters to God.
Exodus 18:20	And you shall warn them of the statutes and of the laws and you shall make known to them the way in which they shall walk, and the work that they shall do.
Exodus 18:21	And you—you shall see from all the people men of valor, fearers of God, men of truth, haters of dishonest gain—and you shall appoint [these] over them [as] rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Exodus 18:22	And they shall judge the people at all times. And it will be [that] every great matter they shall bring to you, and every small matter they shall judge themselves. And it will be lightened from you, and they will bear up with you.
Exodus 18:23	If you do this thing, and God commands you, then you will be able to endure, and also all this people will go to its place in peace.”
Exodus 18:24	And Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law, and he did all that he had said.
Exodus 18:25	And Moses chose men of valor out of all Israel, and he appointed them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Exodus 18:26	And they judged the people at all times; the hard matter they would bring to Moses, and every small matter they would judge themselves.
Exodus 18:27	And Moses sent away his father-in-law, and he went on his way to his land.
Exodus 19:1	In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, on that day, they entered the Wilderness of Sinai.
Exodus 19:2	And they journeyed from Rephidim and entered the Wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness. And Israel camped there before the mountain.
Exodus 19:3	And Moses went up to God, and YHWH called to him from the mountain, saying, “Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob and you shall tell to the sons of Israel:
Exodus 19:4	‘You⁺ yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and I bore you⁺ up on wings of eagles, and I brought you⁺ to Myself.
Exodus 19:5	And now if you⁺ will listen carefully to My voice and keep My covenant, then you⁺ shall be to Me a treasured possession from among all the peoples—for all the earth belongs to Me.
Exodus 19:6	And you⁺—you⁺ shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These [are] the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel.”
Exodus 19:7	And Moses came and called for the elders of the people and he set before their faces all these words that YHWH commanded him.
Exodus 19:8	And all the people answered together and said, “All that YHWH has spoken, we will do.” And Moses brought back the words of the people to YHWH.
Exodus 19:9	And YHWH said to Moses, “Behold, I am coming to you in the thick cloud, so that the people may hear in My speaking with you, and also put their trust in you forever.” And Moses told the words of the people to YHWH.
Exodus 19:10	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go to the people and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and they shall wash their clothes,
Exodus 19:11	and let them be ready for the third day; for on the third day YHWH will come down in the eyes of all the people upon Mount Sinai.
Exodus 19:12	And you shall set bounds [for] the people all around, saying, ‘Guard yourselves from going up on the mountain and touching on its base. Everyone who touches on the mountain must surely be put to death.
Exodus 19:13	A hand shall not touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or he shall be shot through, whether beast or man—he shall not live.’ At the drawing out of the horn, they shall go up on the mountain.”
Exodus 19:14	And Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and he sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
Exodus 19:15	And he said to the people, “Be ready for the third day. Do not draw near to a woman.”
Exodus 19:16	And it came to pass on the third day, when it was the morning, that there were voices and lightnings, and a heavy cloud on the mountain, and the voice of the shofar [was] very mighty. And all the people who [were] in the camp trembled.
Exodus 19:17	And Moses brought the people out from the camp to meet God, and they stood at the bottom of the mountain.
Exodus 19:18	And Mount Sinai smoked—all of it—because YHWH descended on it in the fire. And its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and all the mountain trembled greatly.
Exodus 19:19	And the voice of the shofar was going on, and [was] very strong. Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.
Exodus 19:20	And YHWH descended upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And YHWH called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses ascended.
Exodus 19:21	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to YHWH to see, and many from them fall.
Exodus 19:22	And also let the priests who draw near to YHWH shall sanctify themselves, lest YHWH break out against them.”
Exodus 19:23	And Moses said to YHWH, “The people are not able to come up to Mount Sinai, for You yourself warned us, saying, ‘Set bounds around the mountain and sanctify it.’”
Exodus 19:24	And YHWH said to him, “Go, descend, and you shall come up, you and Aaron with you. And the priests and the people, do not let them break through to come up to YHWH, lest He break out against them.”
Exodus 19:25	And Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.
Exodus 20:1	And God spoke all these words, saying,
Exodus 20:2	“I [am] YHWH your God, who brought you out from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Exodus 20:3	You shall have no other gods before My face.
Exodus 20:4	You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness that [is] in the heavens above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the waters under the earth.
Exodus 20:5	You shall not bow down to them and you shall not serve them; for I, YHWH your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of fathers on sons on the third and on the fourth for those who hate Me,
Exodus 20:6	and showing loving devotion to thousands for those who love Me and for those who keep My commandments.
Exodus 20:7	You shall not take the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold guiltless him who takes His name in vain.
Exodus 20:8	Remember the Sabbath day to sanctify it.
Exodus 20:9	Six days you shall labor and you shall do all your work,
Exodus 20:10	and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to YHWH your God; you shall not do any work—you, and your son, and your daughter, your manservant, and your maidservant, and your livestock, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates.
Exodus 20:11	For [in] six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them; and He rested on the seventh day. Therefore YHWH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.
Exodus 20:12	Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long upon the land that YHWH your God is giving to you.
Exodus 20:13	You shall not murder.
Exodus 20:14	You shall not commit adultery.
Exodus 20:15	You shall not steal.
Exodus 20:16	You shall not answer against your neighbor [as] a false witness.
Exodus 20:17	You shall not covet the house of your neighbor; you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Exodus 20:18	And all the people were seeing the voices, and the flames, and the voice of the shofar, and the mountain smoking; and the people saw, and they trembled and they stood from afar.
Exodus 20:19	And they said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will listen; and let not God speak with us, lest we die.”
Exodus 20:20	And Moses said to the people, “Do not fear, for God has come in order to test you⁺, and in order that His fear may be before your⁺ faces, so that you⁺ may not sin.”
Exodus 20:21	And the people stood from afar, and Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus 20:22	And YHWH said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘You⁺ yourselves have seen that I have talked with you⁺ from the heavens.
Exodus 20:23	You⁺ shall not make alongside Me gods of silver; and gods of gold you⁺ shall not make for yourselves.
Exodus 20:24	An altar of earth you shall make for Me, and you shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings, and your peace offerings, your flock, and your herd. In every place where I cause My name to be remembered, I will come to you and I will bless you.
Exodus 20:25	And if you make an altar of stone for Me, you shall not build them of cut stone, for if you wave your tool on it, then you have profaned it.
Exodus 20:26	And you shall not go up by steps to My altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed on it.’
Exodus 21:1	[“] And these [are] the judgments that you shall set before their faces:
Exodus 21:2	If you buy a Hebrew servant, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out as the free for nothing.
Exodus 21:3	If he comes in by himself, by himself he shall go out; if he [is] husband of a wife, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exodus 21:4	If his lord gives to him a wife, and she bears to him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be unto her lord, and he shall go out by himself.
Exodus 21:5	And if the servant surely declares, ‘I love my lord, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’
Exodus 21:6	then his lord shall bring him to the judges. And He shall bring him to the door or to the doorpost, and his lord shall pierce his ear with an awl, and he shall serve him forever.
Exodus 21:7	And if a man sells his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the manservants go out.
Exodus 21:8	If she is displeasing in the eyes of her lord who has betrothed her to himself, then he shall redeem her. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, in his dealing deceitfully with her.
Exodus 21:9	And if he has betrothed her to his son, he shall deal with her according to the judgment of the daughters.
Exodus 21:10	If he takes another [wife] for himself, her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights he shall not diminish.
Exodus 21:11	And if he does not do these three for her, then she shall go out free without silver.
Exodus 21:12	The one who strikes a man so that he dies must surely be put to death.
Exodus 21:13	And if he did not lie in wait and God caused [it] to meet his hand, then I will appoint for you a place where there he may flee.

Exodus 21:18	And if men contend with each other and one strikes his neighbor with a stone or with a fist, and he does not die and falls to bed,
Exodus 21:19	if he rises again and walks about outside with his staff, then the one who struck [him] shall be acquitted; only [for] the loss of his time he shall pay, and for his complete healing.
Exodus 21:20	And if a man strikes his manservant or maidservant with a rod, and he dies under his hand, he shall surely be avenged.
Exodus 21:21	But if he stands a day or two, he shall not be avenged, for he [is] his silver.
Exodus 21:22	And if men fight and strike a pregnant woman and her children come out and there is not harm, he shall surely be fined as the husband of the woman lays upon him, and he shall give through the judges.
Exodus 21:23	But if there is harm, then you shall give life for life,
Exodus 21:24	eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exodus 21:25	burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Exodus 21:26	And if a man strikes the eye of his manservant or the eye of his maidservant, and he destroys it, he shall send him out free for his eye.
Exodus 21:27	And if he knocks out the tooth of his manservant or the tooth of his maidservant, he shall send him out free for his tooth.
Exodus 21:28	And if an ox gores a man or a woman, and they die, the ox must surely be stoned, and its flesh shall not be eaten; and the owner of the ox [is] innocent.
Exodus 21:29	But if the ox itself has a habit of goring from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and it has been made known to his owner, and he has not guarded it, and it has killed a man or a woman, the ox shall be stoned, and also its owner shall be put to death.
Exodus 21:30	If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give the redemption of his soul according to all that is laid on him.
Exodus 21:31	Whether it gores a son or it gores a daughter, according to this judgment it shall be done to him.
Exodus 21:32	If the ox gores a manservant or a maidservant, he shall give thirty silver shekels to their lord, and the ox shall be stoned.
Exodus 21:33	And if a man opens a pit, or if a man digs a pit, and he does not cover it, and an ox or a donkey falls in there,
Exodus 21:34	the owner of the pit shall repay. He shall return silver to its owner, and the dead [animal] shall be unto him.
Exodus 21:35	And if the ox of one man strikes the ox of his neighbor and it dies, then they shall sell the living ox and divide its silver, and also the dead [ox] they shall divide.
Exodus 21:36	Or if it was known that the ox itself has a habit of goring from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and its owner has not guarded it, he shall surely repay, ox for ox; and the dead [animal] shall be unto him.
Exodus 22:1	[“] If a man steals an ox or a sheep and he slaughters it or sells it, five of the herd he shall repay for the ox, and four sheep for the sheep.
Exodus 22:2	If the thief is found in the breaking in, and he is struck and he dies, [there is] no bloodguilt for him.
Exodus 22:3	If the sun has risen on him, [there is] bloodguilt for him. He shall surely repay …; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Exodus 22:4	If the theft is actually found in his hand alive—whether ox or donkey or sheep—he shall repay double.
Exodus 22:5	If a man causes a field or vineyard to be grazed, and he sends out his animal and it grazes in the field of another man, then from the best of his field and from the best of his vineyard he shall repay.
Exodus 22:6	If fire goes out and finds thorns, and stacked grain or the standing grain or the field is consumed, the one who kindled the fire, He shall surely repay.
Exodus 22:7	If a man gives to his neighbor silver or articles to keep and it is stolen from the house of the man, if the thief is found, he shall repay double.
Exodus 22:8	If the thief is not found, then the master of the house shall be brought to the judges [to see] if he has not stretched out his hand against the property of his neighbor.
Exodus 22:9	For every matter of trespass, for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, [or] for any lost thing that one says that this is it, the matter of the two of them shall come before the judges; whomever the judges condemn, he shall repay double to his neighbor.
Exodus 22:10	If a man gives to his neighbor a donkey, or an ox, or a sheep, or any animal to keep, and it dies or is hurt or is taken captive, without one seeing [it],
Exodus 22:11	an oath of YHWH shall be between the two of them—that he has not stretched out his hand against the property of his neighbor, and its owner shall accept [this] and he shall not repay.
Exodus 22:12	But if it is actually stolen from him, he shall repay to its owner.
Exodus 22:13	If it was torn to pieces, [then] he shall bring it [as] a witness of the torn thing. He shall not repay.
Exodus 22:14	And if a man borrows from his neighbor and it is injured or dies, its owner not [being] with it, he shall surely repay.
Exodus 22:15	If its owner [was] with it, he shall not repay; if it was hired, it has come for its wages.
Exodus 22:16	And if a man entices a virgin who is not betrothed, and he lies with her, he must surely pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

Exodus 22:22	Any widow or fatherless child you⁺ shall not afflict.
Exodus 22:23	If you really afflict him, [then] surely if he cries out in distress to Me, I will surely hear his cry.
Exodus 22:24	And My anger will burn and I will kill you⁺ with the sword, and your⁺ wives shall be widows, and your⁺ sons fatherless.
Exodus 22:25	If you lend silver [to] My people, the poor with you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you⁺ shall not lay on him interest.
Exodus 22:26	If you at all take in pledge the garment of your neighbor, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.
Exodus 22:27	For that alone [is] his covering; it [is] his garment for his skin. In what will he sleep? And it will be that when he cries out to Me, then I will hear, for I [am] gracious.
Exodus 22:28	You shall not revile God, and a ruler of your people you shall not curse.
Exodus 22:29	Your fullness and your juices you shall not delay. The firstborn of your sons you shall give to Me.
Exodus 22:30	Likewise you shall do with your oxen [and] with your sheep. Seven days it shall be with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me.
Exodus 22:31	And you⁺ shall be to Me holy men. And flesh torn in the field you⁺ shall not eat; you⁺ shall throw it to the dog.
Exodus 23:1	[“] You shall not lift up a vain report. Do not put your hand with the wicked to be a violent witness.

Exodus 23:4	If you encounter the ox of your enemy or his donkey going astray, you shall surely return it to him.
Exodus 23:5	If you see the donkey of one who hates you lying under its burden, then do not leave it; you must surely help him with it.
Exodus 23:6	You shall not turn aside the justice of your poor in his dispute.
Exodus 23:7	From a false matter you shall keep far, and the innocent and righteous you shall not kill, for I will not justify the wicked.
Exodus 23:8	And a bribe you shall not take, for the bribe blinds the clear-sighted and perverts the words of the righteous.
Exodus 23:9	And a sojourner you shall not oppress, for you⁺ yourselves know the soul of a sojourner, because you⁺ were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 23:10	And [for] six years you shall sow your land and gather its produce.
Exodus 23:11	And the seventh [year] you shall let it rest and let it lie fallow, and the poor of your people shall eat. And what they leave, the beast of the field shall eat. You shall do likewise for your vineyard [and] for your olive grove.
Exodus 23:12	Six days you shall do your works, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your maidservant and the sojourner may be refreshed.
Exodus 23:13	And take heed in all that I have said to you⁺. And the name of other gods you⁺ shall not mention, nor let it be heard on your mouth.

Exodus 23:20	Behold, I am sending an angel before your face to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.
Exodus 23:21	Be guarded from his face and listen to his voice; do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your⁺ transgressions, for My name [is] within him.
Exodus 23:22	But if you will listen carefully to his voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
Exodus 23:23	For My angel will go before your faces and bring you in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off.
Exodus 23:24	You shall not bow down to their gods, and you shall not serve them, and you shall not do according to their works; for you must utterly demolish them and thoroughly break to pieces their pillars.

Exodus 23:29	I will not drive them out from before your faces in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beast of the field become too numerous for you.
Exodus 23:30	Little by little I will drive them out from before your faces, until that you are fruitful and you take possession of the land.

Exodus 23:32	You shall not cut a covenant with them or with their gods.

Exodus 31:14	And you⁺ shall keep the Sabbath, for it [is] holy to you⁺. Everyone who profanes [it], he must surely be put to death, for every doer of work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus 31:15	Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to YHWH. Every doer of work on the Sabbath day, he must surely be put to death.

Exodus 31:17	It [is] a sign between Me and between the sons of Israel forever; for [in] six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
Exodus 31:18	And He gave unto Moses, as He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus 32:1	And the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, and the people gathered together against Aaron and they said to him, “Arise, make for us gods who will go before our faces. For this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
Exodus 32:2	And Aaron said to them, “Break off the golden rings that [are] in the ears of your⁺ wives, your⁺ sons, and your⁺ daughters, and bring [them] to me.”
Exodus 32:3	And all the people broke off the golden rings that [were] in their ears and brought [them] to Aaron.
Exodus 32:4	And he took it from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool and he made a molten calf. And they said, “These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!”
Exodus 32:5	And Aaron saw, and he built an altar before its face. And Aaron proclaimed and said, “Tomorrow [is] a feast to YHWH.”
Exodus 32:6	And they rose early on the next day, and they offered burnt offerings, and they brought near peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and they rose up to play.
Exodus 32:7	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go, descend; for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted [themselves].
Exodus 32:8	They have turned aside quickly from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten calf and they have bowed down to it, and they have sacrificed to it and they have said, ‘These [are] your gods, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt!’”
Exodus 32:9	And YHWH said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, it [is] a stiff-necked people.
Exodus 32:10	And now, leave Me alone, and My anger may burn hot against them, and I may consume them. And I will make you into a great nation.”
Exodus 32:11	And Moses pleaded the face of YHWH his God, and he said, “Why, O YHWH, does Your anger burn hot against Your people, whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Exodus 32:12	Why should Egypt speak, saying, ‘In evil He brought them out to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from Your burning anger and relent over the evil against Your people.
Exodus 32:13	Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants whom You swore to them by Yourself, and You said to them, ‘I will multiply your⁺ seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land, that I have said, I give to your⁺ seed, and they shall inherit [it] forever.’”
Exodus 32:14	And YHWH relented from the evil that He spoke to do to His people.
Exodus 32:15	And Moses turned, and he went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony [were] in his hand. The tablets [were] written on their two sides—on this and on that they were written.
Exodus 32:16	And the tablets, they [were] the work of God; and the writing, it [was] the writing of God engraved on the tablets.
Exodus 32:17	And Joshua heard the voice of the people in their shouting, and he said to Moses, “A voice of war [is] in the camp.”
Exodus 32:18	And he said, “[It is] not a voice of responses of might, and [it is] not a voice of responses of weakness; I hear a voice of singing.”
Exodus 32:19	And it came to pass as soon as he came near to the camp that he saw the calf and the dancing; and the anger of Moses burned, and he cast from his hands the tablets, and he shattered them at the base of the mountain.
Exodus 32:20	And he took the calf that they had made, and he burned [it] in the fire, and he ground [it] until it [was] powder, and he scattered [it] over the face of the waters, and made the sons of Israel drink [it].
Exodus 32:21	And Moses said to Aaron, “What did this people do to you, that you have brought upon them a great sin?”
Exodus 32:22	And Aaron said, “Let not the anger of my lord burn. You have known the people, that it [is] in evil.
Exodus 32:23	And they said to me, ‘Make for us gods who shall go before our faces. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.’
Exodus 32:24	And I said to them, ‘Whoever has gold, let them break [it] off.’ And they gave [it] to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.”
Exodus 32:25	And Moses saw the people, that they were unrestrained—for Aaron had not restrained them, unto derision among their enemies.
Exodus 32:26	And Moses stood in the entrance of the camp and said, “Who [is] for YHWH? [Come] to me!” And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
Exodus 32:27	And he said to them, “Thus says YHWH God of Israel, ‘Put each man his sword on his side, pass over and turn back from gate to gate throughout the camp, and each man kill his brother, and each man his companion, and each man his neighbor.’”
Exodus 32:28	And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses, and there fell from the people in that day about three thousand men.
Exodus 32:29	And Moses said, “Fill your⁺ hand today for YHWH—for each man [is] against his son and against his brother—that He may bestow on you⁺ this day a blessing.”
Exodus 32:30	And it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, “You⁺—you⁺ have sinned a great sin. And now I will go up to YHWH; perhaps I may make atonement for your⁺ sin.”
Exodus 32:31	And Moses returned to YHWH and said, “Oh, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves gods of gold.
Exodus 32:32	And now, if You will forgive their sin—. and if not, blot me out, please, from Your book that You have written.”
Exodus 32:33	And YHWH said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out from My book.
Exodus 32:34	And now go, lead the people to the [place] of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My angel shall go before your face. And in the day of My charging, then I will charge upon them their sin.”
Exodus 32:35	And YHWH struck the people because of what they made the calf that Aaron had made.
Exodus 33:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “Depart, go up from this [place], you and the people whom you have brought up from the land of Egypt, to the land that I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘To your seed I will give it.’
Exodus 33:2	And I will send before your face an angel, and I will drive out the Canaanite, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 33:3	[Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up among you, for you [are] a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way.”
Exodus 33:4	And the people heard this bad word, and they mourned; and no man put his ornaments on himself.
Exodus 33:5	And YHWH had said to Moses, “Say to the sons of Israel, ‘You⁺ [are] a stiff-necked people. In one moment I will come up among you and I will consume you. And now put down your ornaments from on you, and I will know what I shall do to you.’”
Exodus 33:6	And the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments from Mount Horeb.
Exodus 33:7	And Moses took the tent and he pitched it outside of the camp, far from the camp, and he called it the Tent of Meeting. And it came to pass [that] everyone seeking YHWH went out to the Tent of Meeting that [was] outside of the camp.
Exodus 33:8	And it came to pass, as Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose, and each man stood [at] the door of his tent and they looked after Moses until he had gone into the tent.
Exodus 33:9	And it came to pass, as Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud descended and it remained [at] the door of the tabernacle, and He talked with Moses.
Exodus 33:10	And all the people saw the pillar of cloud remaining [at] the door of the tent; and all the people rose and bowed down, each man, at the door of his tent.
Exodus 33:11	And YHWH would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, and his minister, Joshua son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the midst of the tent.
Exodus 33:12	And Moses said to YHWH, “See, You are saying to me, ‘Bring up this people,’ and You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. And You, You have said, ‘I have known you by name, and also you have found favor in My eyes.’
Exodus 33:13	And now if, please, I have found favor in Your eyes, make known to me, please, Your ways, and I shall know You, in order that I may find favor in Your eyes. And consider that this nation [is] Your people.”
Exodus 33:14	And He said, “My Presence will go [with you] and I will give rest to you.”
Exodus 33:15	And he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go [with us], do not bring us up from this [place].
Exodus 33:16	And by what will it be known then that I have found favor in Your eyes, I and Your people? Is [it] not by Your going with us, and we will be distinguished—I and Your people—from all the people who [are] upon the face of the earth?”
Exodus 33:17	And YHWH said to Moses, “Also this word that you have spoken, I will do, for you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.”
Exodus 33:18	And he said, “Show me, please, Your glory.”
Exodus 33:19	And He said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass before your face, and I will proclaim in the name of YHWH before your face, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”
Exodus 33:20	And He said, “You are not able to see My face, for a man shall not see Me and live.”
Exodus 33:21	And YHWH said, “Behold, a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.
Exodus 33:22	And it shall be, when My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and I will cover My palm over you until I pass by.
Exodus 33:23	And I will take away My palm, and you shall see My back, and My face shall not be seen.”
Exodus 34:1	And YHWH said to Moses, “Cut for yourself two tablets of stone like the first ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you shattered.
Exodus 34:2	And be ready for the morning, and you shall come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself to Me there on the top of the mountain.
Exodus 34:3	And no man shall come up with you, and also let no man be seen throughout all the mountain; also the flock and the herd shall not pasture toward the front of that mountain.”
Exodus 34:4	And he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. And Moses rose early in the morning, and he went up to Mount Sinai, as YHWH had commanded him, and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.
Exodus 34:5	And YHWH descended in the cloud and stood with him there and proclaimed in His name, YHWH.
Exodus 34:6	And YHWH passed before his face and proclaimed, “YHWH, YHWH God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving devotion and truth,
Exodus 34:7	keeping loving devotion to the thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and he will surely not acquit [the guilty], visiting iniquity of fathers upon sons and upon sons of sons, upon a third and upon a fourth.”
Exodus 34:8	And Moses hurried and bowed down to the earth and worshiped.
Exodus 34:9	And he said, “If please I have found favor in Your eyes, O Lord my Lord, please, go among us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and You shall pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”
Exodus 34:10	And He said, “Behold, I am cutting a covenant before all your people. I will do marvels that have not been created in all the earth and in all the nations. And all the people who [are] among you shall see the work of YHWH, for it [is] an awesome [thing] that I am doing with you.
Exodus 34:11	Keep for yourself what I am commanding you this day. Behold, I am driving out from before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus 34:12	Guard for yourself lest you make a covenant with the dwellers of the land where you are entering, lest it become a snare in your midst.
Exodus 34:13	But their altars you⁺ shall break down, and their pillars you⁺ shall smash, and their Asherah poles you⁺ shall cut down.
Exodus 34:14	For you shall worship no other god, for YHWH, Jealous [is] his name, is a jealous God.
Exodus 34:15	Lest you cut a covenant with the dwellers of the land, and they play the prostitute with their gods, and they make sacrifice to their gods, and he calls to you, and you eat from his sacrifice,
Exodus 34:16	and you take from his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the prostitute with their gods, and they make your sons play the prostitute with their gods.
Exodus 34:17	Molten gods you shall not make for yourselves.
Exodus 34:18	The feast of the Unleavened you shall keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened [bread], as I commanded you, in the appointed time of the month of Abib; for in the month of Abib you came out from Egypt.
Exodus 34:19	All that open the womb belong to Me, and all firstborn of your livestock born a male, [whether] ox or sheep.
Exodus 34:20	And the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you do not redeem [it], then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem, and none shall appear before My face empty.
Exodus 34:21	Six days you shall work, and on the seventh day you shall rest: In the plowing time and in the harvest you shall rest.
Exodus 34:22	And the Feast of Weeks you shall observe with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of the Ingathering at the end of the year.
Exodus 34:23	Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the face of the Lord YHWH, God of Israel.
Exodus 34:24	For I will cast out the nations before your face and enlarge your border, and no man will covet your land when you go up to appear before the face of YHWH your God three times in the year.
Exodus 34:25	You shall not slaughter with leaven the blood of My sacrifice, and the sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover shall not remain until the morning.
Exodus 34:26	The first of the firstfruits of your ground you shall bring to the house of YHWH your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”
Exodus 34:27	And YHWH said to Moses, “Write for yourself these words, for upon the mouth of these words I have cut a covenant with you and with Israel.”
Exodus 34:28	And he was there with YHWH forty days and forty nights; he has not eaten bread and has not drunk water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Words.
Exodus 34:29	And it came to pass when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony [were] in the hand of Moses when he came down from the mountain), and Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone in his speaking with Him.
Exodus 34:30	And Aaron saw—and all the sons of Israel—Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near to him.
Exodus 34:31	And Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers in the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.
Exodus 34:32	And afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that YHWH had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
Exodus 34:33	And Moses finished from speaking with them, and he put on his face a veil.
Exodus 34:34	And whenever Moses went in before the face of YHWH to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until his coming out. And he would come out and speak to the sons of Israel whatever he had been commanded,
Exodus 34:35	and the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, and Moses would return the veil on his face until he went in to speak with Him.
Exodus 35:1	And Moses gathered together all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and he said to them, “These [are] the words that YHWH has commanded—to do them:
Exodus 35:2	Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day shall be for you⁺ holy, a Sabbath of complete rest to YHWH. Every doer of work on it shall be put to death.
Exodus 35:3	You⁺ shall not kindle a fire in any of your⁺ dwellings on the Sabbath day.”
Exodus 35:4	And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the word that YHWH has commanded, saying,
Exodus 35:5	take from among you⁺ a contribution to YHWH; everyone of a willing heart, he shall bring it [as] a contribution to YHWH: gold, and silver, and bronze,
Exodus 35:6	and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; and fine linen, and goats’ [hair];
Exodus 35:7	and ram skins dyed red, and badger skins; and acacia wood;
Exodus 35:8	and oil for the light; and spices for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices;
Exodus 35:9	and onyx stones, and stones as settings for the ephod and for the breastplate.
Exodus 35:10	And all wise of heart among you⁺ shall come, and they shall make all that YHWH has commanded:
Exodus 35:11	The tabernacle, its tent, and its covering, its clasps, and its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
Exodus 35:12	the ark and its poles, the mercy seat, and the veil of the screen;
Exodus 35:13	the table and its poles and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;
Exodus 35:14	and the lampstand of the light, and its vessels, and its lamps, and the oil of the light;
Exodus 35:15	and the altar of incense and its poles; and the anointing oil and the incense; of spices and the screen of the door for the entrance of the tabernacle;
Exodus 35:16	the altar of the burnt offering and the bronze grate that [is] for it, its poles and all its vessels; the basin and its stand;
Exodus 35:17	the hangings of the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen of the gate of the court;
Exodus 35:18	the pegs of the tabernacle, and the pegs of the court, and their cords;
Exodus 35:19	the woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister as priests.”
Exodus 35:20	And all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from before the face of Moses.
Exodus 35:21	And they came in—every man whom his heart lifted him and everyone whom his spirit impelled him—[and] they brought a contribution of YHWH for the work of the Tent of Meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments.
Exodus 35:22	And they came in, the men, man along with the women—everyone willing of heart—they brought hooks and earrings and rings and necklaces, every article of gold, and everyone who waved a wave offering of gold to YHWH.
Exodus 35:23	And every man with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen, and goats’ [hair], and rams skins dyed red, and badger skins, brought [them] in.
Exodus 35:24	Everyone lifting a contribution of silver and bronze brought in a contribution of YHWH. And everyone with whom was found acacia wood for every work of the service brought [it].
Exodus 35:25	And every woman wise of heart spun with her hands, and they brought in what she had spun of the blue and the purple, of the scarlet yarn and of the fine linen.
Exodus 35:26	And all the women whose heart was lifted up with wisdom spun the goats’ [hair].
Exodus 35:27	And the rulers brought the onyx stones and stones as the settings for the ephod and for the breastplate,
Exodus 35:28	and the spice, and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the incense of spices.
Exodus 35:29	Every man and woman whose heart impelled him to bring in for all the work that YHWH had commanded to be done by the hand of Moses—the sons of Israel brought a freewill offering to YHWH.
Exodus 35:30	And Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
Exodus 35:31	And He has filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship,
Exodus 35:32	and to design artistic works, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,
Exodus 35:33	and in cutting stone for setting, and in cutting wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.
Exodus 35:34	And to teach He has given in his heart—he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Exodus 35:35	He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work of an engraver and designer and weaver in the blue and the purple, in the scarlet yarn, and in the fine linen, and of a weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.
Exodus 36:1	[“] And Bezalel and Oholiab and every man wise of heart in whom YHWH has put wisdom and understanding, to know to do all of the work of the service of the Holy Place, to do according to all that YHWH has commanded.”
Exodus 36:2	And Moses called to Bezalel and to Oholiab and to to every man wise of heart in whom YHWH had put wisdom in his heart—everyone whose heart lifted him—to come near to the work to do it.
Exodus 36:3	And they took from before the face of Moses all the contribution that the sons of Israel had brought out to do the work of the service of the Holy Place. And they continued bringing to him a freewill offering morning by morning.
Exodus 36:4	And all the wise ones doing all the work of the Holy Place came, every man, from his work that they were doing,
Exodus 36:5	and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing much more than enough for the service of the work that YHWH has commanded [us] to do.”
Exodus 36:6	And Moses commanded, and they caused a voice to pass throughout the camp, saying, “Let not man or woman do anymore work for a contribution of the Holy Place.” And the people were restrained from bringing.
Exodus 36:7	And the work they had was sufficient for all the work to be done, and there was excess.
Exodus 36:8	And everyone wise of heart among those doing the work made the tabernacle; ten curtains of finely woven linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn; cherubim—the work of a designer—he made them.
Exodus 36:9	The length of the one curtain [was] eight and twenty by the cubit, and the width of the one curtain [was] four by the cubit, one measurement for all the curtains.
Exodus 36:10	And he joined five curtains one to one, and five curtains he joined one to one.
Exodus 36:11	And He made loops of blue on the edge of the one, the curtain from the end at the joining; likewise he did on the edge of the outermost curtain at the seam of the second.
Exodus 36:12	Fifty loops he made in the one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain that [is] at the seam of the second; that the loops may be clasped one to one.
Exodus 36:13	And he made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains one to one with the clasps, and the tabernacle shall be one.
Exodus 36:14	And He made curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle; one [and] ten curtains he made them.
Exodus 36:15	And the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, the width of the one curtain four cubits. One measurement for the one [and] ten curtains.
Exodus 36:16	And he joined the five curtains by themselves, and the six curtains by themselves.
Exodus 36:17	And he made fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain at the joining, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain at the seam of the second.
Exodus 36:18	And He made fifty clasps of bronze to join together the tent, and it shall be one.
Exodus 36:19	And he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of badger skins from above.
Exodus 36:20	And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
Exodus 36:21	Ten cubits [is] the length of the board, and a cubit and a half cubit [is] the width of the one board,
Exodus 36:22	[with] two tenons in the one board for binding one to one. Thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36:23	And he made the boards for the tabernacle twenty boards for the south side, southward.
Exodus 36:24	And forty bases of silver he made under the twenty boards—two bases under the one board for its two tenons, and two bases under the one board for its two tenons.
Exodus 36:25	And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards
Exodus 36:26	and their forty bases of silver, two bases under the one board, and two bases under the one board.
Exodus 36:27	And for the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards,
Exodus 36:28	and He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle, for the rear sides.
Exodus 36:29	And they were coupled from the bottom, and together they were complete at its top by the one ring. Thus he made for the two of them, for the two corners.
Exodus 36:30	And there were eight boards and their bases of silver, six [and] ten bases—two bases, two bases under the one board.
Exodus 36:31	And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
Exodus 36:32	and five bars for the boards on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the rear sides westward.
Exodus 36:33	And he made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards, from the end to the end.
Exodus 36:34	And he overlaid the boards with gold, and their rings he made of gold [as] holders for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
Exodus 36:35	And he made a veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely woven linen, the work of a designer, cherubim he made on it.
Exodus 36:36	And He made for it four pillars of acacia [wood] and overlaid them [with] gold, their hooks of gold. And he cast for them four bases of silver.
Exodus 36:37	And He made a screen for the door of the tent, blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely woven linen, the work of a weaver,
Exodus 36:38	and its five pillars and their hooks. And he overlaid their tops and their bands [with] gold, and their five bases [were] bronze.

Exodus 37:7	And He made two cherubim of gold—of hammered work he made them—from the two ends of the mercy seat,
Exodus 37:8	one cherub from this end, and one cherub from that end; from the mercy seat he made the cherubim from its two ends.
Exodus 37:9	And the cherubim spread out the wings upward, covering over the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces each toward his brother; toward the mercy seat were the faces of the cherubim.
Exodus 37:10	And He made the table of acacia wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its width, and a cubit and a half its height.

Exodus 37:17	And He made the lampstand of pure gold. Of hammered work he made the lampstand. Its base, and its branch, its cups, its buds, and its flowers—they were from it.
Exodus 37:18	And six branches came out from its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second side.
Exodus 37:19	Three cups made like almond blossoms on the one branch—with a bud and a flower—and three cups like almond blossoms on the one branch—with a bud and a flower—thus for the six branches coming out from the lampstand.
Exodus 37:20	And on the lampstand itself [were] four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers.
Exodus 37:21	And a bud [was] under the two branches from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, and a bud under the two branches from it, for the six branches going out from it.

Leviticus 5:9	And he shall sprinkle from the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, and the remainder of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It [is] a sin offering.
Leviticus 5:10	And the second he shall do [as] a burnt offering, according to the ordinance. And the priest shall make atonement upon him from his sin that he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven for him.
Leviticus 5:11	And if his hand does not reach to two turtledoves or to two sons of a pigeon, then he shall bring near for his offering that he has sinned a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall not put oil on it, and he shall not put frankincense on it, for it [is] a sin offering.
Leviticus 5:12	And he shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take from it the fullness of his handful, its memorial [portion], and he shall burn [it] on the altar, on the fire offerings to YHWH; it [is] a sin offering.
Leviticus 5:13	And the priest shall make atonement upon him, upon his sin that he has sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven for him. And [the remainder] shall be for the priest, like the grain offering.”
Leviticus 5:14	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 5:15	“If a soul acts unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—and sins in error from the holy things of YHWH, then he shall bring his guilt offering to YHWH: an unblemished ram of the flock, in your valuation of silver shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a guilt offering.
Leviticus 5:16	And [for] that which he has sinned from the holy thing he shall repay, and its fifth he shall add on it, and he shall give it to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement upon him with the ram of the guilt offering, and it shall be forgiven for him.
Leviticus 5:17	And if a soul sins and does one from all the commandments of YHWH which are not to be done, and he has not known, and he is guilty, then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 5:18	And he shall bring an unblemished ram from the flock, in your valuation, for a guilt offering to the priest. And the priest shall make atonement upon him regarding his error in which he erred and he did not know [it], and it shall be forgiven for him.
Leviticus 5:19	It [is] a guilt offering; he was surely guilty against YHWH.”
Leviticus 6:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:2	“If a soul sins and acts unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—against YHWH and has lied to his neighbor concerning a deposit, or concerning a pledge of hand, or concerning a robbery, or if he has extorted his neighbor,
Leviticus 6:3	or if he has found a lost thing and has lied concerning it, and has sworn upon falsehood—upon one from all that the man does, to sin in them.
Leviticus 6:4	And it shall be, when he sins and is guilty, that he shall return the plunder that he has stolen, or the extortion that he has extorted, or the deposit that has been deposited with him, or the lost thing that he found,
Leviticus 6:5	or from all about which he swore to a lie. And He shall restore it in its principal and he shall add a fifth to it; to whomever it belongs, he shall give it in the day of his guilt offering.
Leviticus 6:6	And his guilt offering he shall bring to YHWH, an unblemished ram from the flock, in your valuation, for a guilt offering, to the priest.
Leviticus 6:7	And the priest shall make atonement upon him before the face of YHWH, and it shall be forgiven for him regarding one thing from all that he does, to be guilty in it.”
Leviticus 6:8	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:9	“Command Aaron and his sons, saying, this [is] the law of the burnt offering: The burnt offering [is] on the hearth on the altar all the night until the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be kept burning on it.
Leviticus 6:10	And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and he shall put his linen undergarments on his flesh, and he shall lift up the ashes that the fire consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
Leviticus 6:11	And he shall take off his garments, and he shall put on other garments, and he shall carry the ashes to outside of the camp to a clean place.
Leviticus 6:12	And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out, and the priest shall burn wood on it morning by morning, and he shall arrange on it the burnt offering, and he shall burn on it the fats of the peace offerings.
Leviticus 6:13	A fire continually shall be kept burning on the altar; it shall not be put out.
Leviticus 6:14	And this [is] the law of the grain offering: The sons of Aaron shall bring it near before the face of YHWH, before the face of the altar.
Leviticus 6:15	And he shall lift up from it in his handful from the fine flour of the grain offering, and from its oil, and all the frankincense that [is] on the grain offering, and he shall burn [it] on the altar for a pleasing aroma, its memorial [portion], to YHWH.
Leviticus 6:16	And the remainder of it, Aaron and his sons shall eat. It shall be eaten unleavened, in a holy place; in the court of the Tent of Meeting they shall eat it.
Leviticus 6:17	It shall not be baked [with] leaven; their portion I have given it from My fire offerings. It [is] holy of holies, like the sin offering and like the guilt offering.
Leviticus 6:18	All the males among the sons of Aaron shall eat it; [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your⁺ generations from the fire offerings of YHWH. All that touches them will be holy.”
Leviticus 6:19	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:20	“This [is] the offering of Aaron and his sons, which they shall bring near to YHWH in the day of his being anointed: A tenth of an ephah of fine flour, a continual grain offering, half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
Leviticus 6:21	It shall be made on a griddle with the oil—you shall bring it in well mixed; you shall bring near the baked pieces of a grain offering, a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Leviticus 6:22	And the anointed priest in his place from among his sons shall do it [as] an everlasting statute to YHWH; it shall be burned completely.
Leviticus 6:23	And every grain offering of a priest shall be a whole [offering]. It shall not be eaten.”
Leviticus 6:24	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 6:25	“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying: This [is] the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered, the sin offering shall be slaughtered before the face of YHWH; it [is] holy of holies.
Leviticus 6:26	The priest—the one cleansing from sin [with] it—shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the Tent of Meeting.
Leviticus 6:27	All that touches its flesh shall be holy, and if its blood is sprinkled on any garment, that on which it is sprinkled you shall wash in a holy place.
Leviticus 6:28	And an earthen vessel in which it is boiled shall be broken; and if it is boiled in a bronze vessel, then it shall be scoured and it shall be rinsed in the water.
Leviticus 6:29	Every male among the priests may eat it; it [is] holy of holies.
Leviticus 6:30	And any sin offering from which the blood is brought into the Tent of Meeting to make atonement in the Holy Place shall not be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire.
Leviticus 7:1	[“] And this [is] the law of the guilt offering: It [is] holy of holies.
Leviticus 7:2	In the place where they slaughter the burnt offering, they shall slaughter the guilt offering; and he shall sprinkle its blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 7:3	And he shall bring near all its fat from it, the fat tail, and the fat that is covering the entrails,
Leviticus 7:4	and the two kidneys, and the fat that [is] on them that [is] on the flanks, and the lobe of the liver above the kidneys—he shall remove it.
Leviticus 7:5	And the priest shall burn them on the altar, a fire offering to YHWH; it [is] a guilt offering.
Leviticus 7:6	Every male among the priests may eat it. It shall be eaten in a holy place; it [is] holy of holies;
Leviticus 7:7	Like the sin offering, like the guilt offering; one law [is] for them. The priest who makes atonement with it, unto him it shall be.
Leviticus 7:8	And the priest who brings near a burnt offering of a man—the skin of the burnt offering that he has brought near, it is for the priest, for him.
Leviticus 7:9	And every grain offering that is baked in the oven, and all that is made in the pan or on a griddle,—it shall be for the priest who brings it near, for him.
Leviticus 7:10	And every grain offering mixed with the oil, or dry, it shall be for all sons of Aaron, each man like his brother.
Leviticus 7:11	And this [is] the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that he shall bring near to YHWH:
Leviticus 7:12	If he brings it near for thanksgiving, then he shall bring it near with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mixed with the oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with the oil, and well-mixed cakes of fine flour mixed with the oil.
Leviticus 7:13	Upon the cakes, he shall bring near leavened bread [as] his offering with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
Leviticus 7:14	And he shall bring near from it one [cake] from each offering, a contribution to YHWH. For the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings, for him it shall be.
Leviticus 7:15	And the flesh of the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offering, it shall be eaten on the day of its offering; he shall not leave from it until morning.
Leviticus 7:16	And if the sacrifice of his offering [is] a vow or a freewill offering, in the day of his bringing near his sacrifice, it shall be eaten; and on the next day the remainder of it may be eaten;
Leviticus 7:17	and the remainder from the flesh of the sacrifice in the third day must be burned in the fire.
Leviticus 7:18	And if from the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings is eaten at all in the third day, it shall not be accepted for him who is bringing it near, nor shall it be reckoned to him. It shall be an abomination, and the soul who eats from it shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus 7:19	And the flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burned in the fire. And the flesh, every clean one shall eat flesh.
Leviticus 7:20	And the soul who eats the flesh from the sacrifice of the peace offerings that [is] to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] on him, that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:21	And if a soul touches any unclean thing—for uncleanness of man, or for an unclean animal, or for any unclean abomination—and he eats from the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offerings that [is] to YHWH, then that soul shall be cut off from his people.”
Leviticus 7:22	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 7:23	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Any fat of an ox, or sheep, or goat, you⁺ shall not eat.
Leviticus 7:24	And the fat of a carcass, and the fat of a torn thing, may be used for any work; and eating. you⁺ shall not eat it
Leviticus 7:25	For anyone eating fat from the beast of which he brings near, a fire offering to YHWH, then the soul eating shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 7:26	And any blood you⁺ shall not eat in any of your⁺ dwellings, of the bird and of the beast.
Leviticus 7:27	Any soul who eats any blood, then that soul shall be cut off from his people.’”
Leviticus 7:28	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 7:29	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who is bringing near the sacrifice of his peace offerings to YHWH shall bring his offering to YHWH from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
Leviticus 7:30	His hands shall bring fire offerings to YHWH; the fat upon the breast he shall bring with the breast to wave it [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 7:31	And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, and the breast shall be for Aaron and for his sons.
Leviticus 7:32	And the right thigh you⁺ shall give [as] a contribution to the priest from the sacrifices of your⁺ peace offerings.
Leviticus 7:33	The one from the sons of Aaron bringing near the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, to him shall be the right thigh for a portion.
Leviticus 7:34	For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution I have taken from the sons of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons for an everlasting statute from the sons of Israel.’”
Leviticus 7:35	This [is] the anointing [portion] of Aaron and his sons from the fire offerings to YHWH on the day [Moses] presented them to minister as priests to YHWH,
Leviticus 7:36	which YHWH commanded to give to them on the day of his anointing them from the sons of Israel—an everlasting statute throughout their generations.
Leviticus 7:37	This [is] the law for the burnt offering, for the grain offering, and for the sin offering, and for the guilt offering, and for the ordination offerings, and for the sacrifice of the peace offerings,
Leviticus 7:38	that YHWH commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day of His commanding the sons of Israel to bring near their offerings to YHWH in the Wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus 8:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 8:2	“Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and the bull of the sin offering, and the two rams, and the basket of the unleavened [bread];
Leviticus 8:3	and assemble all the congregation at the door of the Tent of Meeting.”
Leviticus 8:4	And Moses did as YHWH commanded him, and the congregation assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Leviticus 8:5	And Moses said to the congregation, “This [is] the word that YHWH commanded to do.”
Leviticus 8:6	And Moses brought near Aaron and his sons, and he washed them with the water,
Leviticus 8:7	and he put the tunic on him, and he girded him with the sash, and he clothed him with the robe, and he put the ephod on him, and he girded him with the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod, and he bound [it] on him with it.
Leviticus 8:8	And he put on him the breastplate, and he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
Leviticus 8:9	And he put the turban on his head, and he put on the turban, toward the front of its face, the golden plate, the holy diadem, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:10	And Moses took the anointing oil, and he anointed the tabernacle and all that [was] in it, and he sanctified them.
Leviticus 8:11	And he sprinkled from it on the altar seven times, and he anointed the altar and all its vessels, and the basin and its stand, to sanctify them.
Leviticus 8:12	And he poured from the anointing oil on the head of Aaron, and he anointed him, to sanctify him.
Leviticus 8:13	And Moses brought near the sons of Aaron, and he clothed them [with] tunics, and he girded them [with] sashes, and he bound headbands, to them, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:14	And he brought near the bull of the sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the bull of the sin offering.
Leviticus 8:15	And he slaughtered [it], and Moses took the blood, and he put [it] on the horns of the altar all around with his finger, and he cleansed from sin the altar, and he poured the blood at the base of the altar, and he sanctified it, to make atonement upon it.
Leviticus 8:16	And he took all the fat that [was] on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and Moses burned [them] on the altar.
Leviticus 8:17	And the bull and its skin and its flesh and its dung, he burned in the fire outside of the camp, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:18	And he brought near the ram of the burnt offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
Leviticus 8:19	And he slaughtered [it], and Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 8:20	And he cut the ram into its pieces, and Moses burned the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
Leviticus 8:21	And the entrails and the legs he washed in the water, and Moses burned the whole ram on the altar. It [was] a burnt offering for a pleasing aroma; it [was] a fire offering to YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:22	And he brought near the second ram, the ram of the ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram.
Leviticus 8:23	And he slaughtered [it], and Moses took from its blood, and he put [it] on the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
Leviticus 8:24	And he brought near the sons of Aaron, and Moses put from the blood on the tips of their right ears, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. And Moses sprinkled the blood on the altar all around.
Leviticus 8:25	And he took the fat, and the fat tail, and all the fat that [was] on the entrails, and the lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, and the right thigh.
Leviticus 8:26	And from the basket of the unleavened [bread] that [was] before the face of YHWH he took one unleavened cake, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and he put [them] on the fat and on the right thigh.
Leviticus 8:27	And he set all [these] on the palms of Aaron and on the palms of his sons, and he waved them [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 8:28	And Moses took them from their palms, and he burned [them] on the altar, on the burnt offering. They [were] ordination offerings for a pleasing aroma; it [was] a fire offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 8:29	And Moses took the breast, and he waved it [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH. From the ram of the ordination it was for Moses, for a portion, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 8:30	And Moses took from the anointing oil and from the blood that [was] on the altar, and he sprinkled [it] on Aaron, on his garments, and on his sons, and on the garments of his sons with him. And he sanctified Aaron, his garments, and his sons, and the garments of his sons with him.
Leviticus 8:31	And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, “Boil the flesh [at] the door of the Tent of Meeting, and there you⁺ shall eat it, and the bread that [is] in the basket of ordination offerings, as I commanded, saying, ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat it.’
Leviticus 8:32	And the remainder among the flesh and among the bread you⁺ shall burn in the fire.
Leviticus 8:33	And you⁺ shall not go from the door of the Tent of Meeting [for] seven days, until the day of the fullness, the days of your⁺ ordination—for seven days he will fill your⁺ hand.
Leviticus 8:34	As he has done in this day, YHWH has commanded to do, to make atonement upon you⁺.
Leviticus 8:35	And you⁺ shall stay [at] the door of the Tent of Meeting, day and night [for] seven days, and you⁺ shall keep the charge of YHWH, and you⁺ shall not die; for so I have been commanded.”
Leviticus 8:36	And Aaron and his sons did all the words that YHWH had commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 9:1	And it came to pass on the eighth day [that] Moses called for Aaron and for his sons and for the elders of Israel,
Leviticus 9:2	and he said to Aaron, “Take for yourself a calf, a son of the herd, for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, unblemished, and bring [them] near before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 9:3	And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Take a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and a calf and a lamb—sons of a year, unblemished—for a burnt offering,
Leviticus 9:4	and a bull and a ram for peace offerings to sacrifice before the face of YHWH, and a grain offering mixed with the oil. For today YHWH will appear to you⁺.’”
Leviticus 9:5	And they brought what Moses had commanded to the face of the Tent of Meeting, and all the congregation drew near and stood before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 9:6	And Moses said, “This [is] the thing that YHWH has commanded you⁺ to do, and the glory of YHWH will appear to you⁺.”
Leviticus 9:7	And Moses said to Aaron, “Draw near to the altar and do your sin offering and your burnt offering, and make atonement on your behalf and on behalf of the people. And do the offering of the people and make atonement on their behalf, as YHWH commanded.”
Leviticus 9:8	And Aaron drew near to the altar, and he slaughtered the calf of the sin offering that [was] for himself.
Leviticus 9:9	And the sons of Aaron brought near the blood to him, and he dipped his finger in the blood, and he put [it] on the horns of the altar, and he poured out the blood at the base of the altar.
Leviticus 9:10	And the fat and the kidneys and the lobe of the liver from the sin offering he burned on the altar, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 9:11	And the flesh and the skin he burned with the fire outside of the camp.
Leviticus 9:12	And he slaughtered the burnt offering. And the sons of Aaron presented to him the blood, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.
Leviticus 9:13	And they presented the burnt offering to him by its pieces and the head, and he burned [them] on the altar.
Leviticus 9:14	And he washed the entrails and the legs, and he burned [them] on the burnt offering on the altar.
Leviticus 9:15	And he brought near the offering of the people, and he took the goat of the sin offering that [was] for the people, and he slaughtered it, and he cleansed from sin, like the first one.
Leviticus 9:16	And he brought near the burnt offering, and he did it according to the ordinance.
Leviticus 9:17	And he brought near the grain offering, and he filled his palm from it, and he burned [it] on the altar in addition to the burnt offering of the morning.
Leviticus 9:18	And he slaughtered the bull and the ram [as] the sacrifice of the peace offerings that [were] for the people, and the sons of Aaron presented the blood to him, and he sprinkled it on the altar all around.
Leviticus 9:19	And the fat from the bull and the ram, the fat tail, and the covering, and the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver,
Leviticus 9:20	and they put the fat on the breasts, and he burned the fat on the altar.
Leviticus 9:21	And the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH, as Moses had commanded.
Leviticus 9:22	And Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and he blessed them, and he came down from doing the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings.
Leviticus 9:23	And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of Meeting, and they came out, and they blessed the people, and the glory of YHWH appeared to all the people.
Leviticus 9:24	And fire came out from before the face of YHWH, and it consumed the burnt offering and the fat on the altar, and all the people saw, and they shouted, and they fell on their faces.
Leviticus 10:1	And the sons of Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, each took his firepan, and they put fire in it, and they put incense on it, and they brought near before the face of YHWH strange fire, which He had not commanded them.
Leviticus 10:2	And fire went out from before the face of YHWH, and it consumed them, and they died before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 10:3	And Moses said to Aaron, “It [is] what YHWH spoke, saying, ‘By those drawing near to Me I will be shown holy, and before the faces of all the people I will be glorified.’” And Aaron was silent.
Leviticus 10:4	And Moses called to Mishael and to Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and he said to them, “Draw near, carry your⁺ brothers from the face of the Holy Place, to the outside of the camp.”
Leviticus 10:5	And they drew near, and they carried them in their tunics to the outside of the camp, as Moses had spoken.
Leviticus 10:6	And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, “Do not uncover your⁺ heads and do not tear your⁺ clothes, and you⁺ shall not die, and upon all the congregation He will be angry. And your⁺ brothers, the whole house of Israel, shall weep the burning that YHWH has burned.
Leviticus 10:7	And you⁺ shall not go out from the door of the Tent of Meeting, lest you⁺ die; for the anointing oil of YHWH [is] upon you⁺.” And they did according to the word of Moses.
Leviticus 10:8	And YHWH spoke to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 10:9	“Wine and strong drink you shall not drink, you and your sons with you, when you⁺ go into the Tent of Meeting, and you⁺ shall not die. [It is] a statute forever throughout your⁺ generations,
Leviticus 10:10	and to distinguish between the holy and between the common, and between the unclean and between the clean,
Leviticus 10:11	and to teach the sons of Israel all the statutes that YHWH has spoken to them by the hand of Moses.”
Leviticus 10:12	And Moses spoke to Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons, the ones remaining, “Take the grain offering, the one remaining from the fire offerings of YHWH, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, for it [is] holy of holies.
Leviticus 10:13	And you⁺ shall eat it in a holy place, because it [is] your portion and the portion of your sons from the fire offerings of YHWH; for so I have been commanded.
Leviticus 10:14	And the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution you⁺ shall eat in a clean place—you and your sons and your daughters with you; for your portion and the portion of your sons, they are given from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the sons of Israel.
Leviticus 10:15	The thigh of the contribution and the breast of the wave offering they shall bring with the fire offerings of fat to wave [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH. And it shall be for you and for your sons with you for an everlasting statute, as YHWH has commanded.”
Leviticus 10:16	And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it had been burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and with Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, the ones remaining, saying,
Leviticus 10:17	“Why have you⁺ not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, for it [is] holy of holies, and He has given it to you⁺ to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement upon them before the face of YHWH?
Leviticus 10:18	Behold, its blood was not brought in to the Holy Place within. You⁺ surely should have eaten it in the Holy Place, as I commanded.”
Leviticus 10:19	And Aaron said to Moses, “Behold, today they have brought near their sin offerings and their burnt offerings before the face of YHWH, and [things] as these have befallen me; and [if] I had eaten a sin offering today, would it have been good in the eyes of YHWH?”
Leviticus 10:20	And Moses listened, and it was good in his eyes.
Leviticus 11:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying to them,
Leviticus 11:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘This [is] the living thing that you⁺ may eat from among all the beasts that [are] on the earth:
Leviticus 11:3	Every one dividing the hoof, and cleaving the cleft of the hooves, [and] bringing up the cud among the beasts, it you⁺ may eat.
Leviticus 11:4	Nevertheless this you⁺ shall not eat from among the ones bringing up the cud, and from among the ones dividing the hoof: The camel, though it [is] bringing up the cud, but the hoof it [is] not dividing—it [is] unclean to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:5	And the rock badger, though it [is] bringing up the cud, but the hoof it [is] not dividing—it [is] unclean to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:6	And the hare, though it [is] bringing up the cud, but the hoof it has not divided—it [is] unclean to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:7	And the swine, though it [is] dividing the hoof and cleaving the cleft of the hoof, but the cud it does not chew—it [is] unclean to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:8	From their flesh you⁺ shall not eat, and their carcass you⁺ shall not touch—they [are] unclean to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:9	This you⁺ shall eat from all that [are] in the waters: Everything that has fin and scale in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them you⁺ shall eat.
Leviticus 11:10	And everything that does not have fin and scale in the seas and in the rivers, from every swarming thing of the waters, and from every living creature that [is] in the waters—they [are] an abomination to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:11	And an abomination they shall be to you⁺; from their flesh you⁺ shall not eat, and their carcasses you⁺ shall detest.
Leviticus 11:12	All that does not have fin and scale in the waters—it [is] an abomination to you⁺.
Leviticus 11:13	And these you⁺ shall detest from the birds; they shall not be eaten; they [are] an abomination: The eagle, and the bearded vulture, and the black vulture,
Leviticus 11:14	and the kite, and the falcon according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:15	every raven according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:16	and the daughter of the ostrich, and the screech owl, and the gull, and the hawk according to its kind,
Leviticus 11:17	and the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,

Leviticus 12:3	And on the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Leviticus 12:4	And thirty days and three days she shall continue in the blood of [her] purification. She shall not touch any holy thing, and she shall not come into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are fulfilled.
Leviticus 12:5	And if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean two weeks like her menstruation, and sixty days and six days she shall continue in the blood of [her] purification.
Leviticus 12:6	And in the fulfilling of the days of her purification, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring near a lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt offering, and a son of a pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest.
Leviticus 12:7	And he shall bring it near before the face of YHWH, and he shall make atonement upon her, and she shall be clean from the flow of her blood. This [is] the law of the one giving birth, for the male or for the female.
Leviticus 12:8	And if her hand is not able to bring a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two sons of a pigeon, one for a burnt offering and one for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement upon her, and she will be clean.’”
Leviticus 13:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 13:2	“When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes a plague of leprosy in the skin of his flesh, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one from his sons, the priests.
Leviticus 13:3	And the priest shall examine the plague in the skin of his flesh. And if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his body, it [is] a plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and he shall pronounce him unclean.
Leviticus 13:4	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 has not turned white, then the priest shall shut up the [one with] the plague seven days.
Leviticus 13:5	And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and behold, [if] the plague has stood in his eyes, the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up a second seven days.
Leviticus 13:6	And the priest shall examine him on the second seventh day, and behold, [if] the plague has faded and the plague has not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It [is] a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and he shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:7	And if the scab spreads at all in the skin after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he shall be seen a second [time] by the priest.
Leviticus 13:8	And the priest shall examine [him], and behold, [if] the scab has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] leprosy.
Leviticus 13:9	When a plague is leprous in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest.
Leviticus 13:10	And the priest shall examine [him], and behold, [if] the swelling [is] white in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and [there is] a spot of living flesh in the swelling,
Leviticus 13:11	it [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not shut him up, for he [is] unclean.
Leviticus 13:12	And if leprosy breaks out at all in the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the [one with] the plague, from his head and to his feet, to all that appears to the eye of the priest,
Leviticus 13:13	then the priest shall examine [him], and behold, [if] the leprosy has covered all his flesh, then the [one with] the plague he shall pronounce clean; it has all turned white; he [is] clean.
Leviticus 13:14	And in the day of the appearing of living flesh in him, he shall be unclean.
Leviticus 13:15	And the priest shall examine the living flesh and pronounce him unclean, the living flesh [is] unclean; it [is] leprosy.
Leviticus 13:16	Or if the living flesh turns back, and it is turned to white, then he shall come to the priest,
Leviticus 13:17	and the priest shall examine him, and behold, [if] the plague has turned to white, then the priest shall pronounce clean the [one with] the plague; he [is] clean.
Leviticus 13:18	And when the flesh has a boil in the skin and it is healed,
Leviticus 13:19	and there is in the place of the boil a white swelling, or a reddish-white bright spot, then it shall be shown to the priest.
Leviticus 13:20	And the priest shall examine [him] and behold, [if] its appearance is lower than the skin and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy, it has broken out in the boil.
Leviticus 13:21	And if the priest examines it and behold, [there is] not white hair in it, and it [is] not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.
Leviticus 13:22	And if it spreads at all in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] a plague.
Leviticus 13:23	And if the bright spot stands in its place, it has not spread, it [is] the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus 13:24	Or if the flesh has a burn of fire in its skin and the raw [spot] of the burn becomes a reddish-white bright spot, or white,
Leviticus 13:25	then the priest shall examine it, and behold, [if] the hair has been turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, it [is] leprosy. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
Leviticus 13:26	And if the priest examines it, and behold, [there is] not white hair in the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest shall shut him up seven days.
Leviticus 13:27	And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and if it has spread at all in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.
Leviticus 13:28	And if the bright spot stands in its place, it has not spread in the skin, and it has faded, it [is] the swelling of the burn; and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it [is] the scar of the burn.
Leviticus 13:29	And if a man or woman has a plague in him in the head or in the beard,
Leviticus 13:30	then the priest shall examine the plague, and behold, [if] its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, and in it [is] thin yellow hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it [is] a scale—it [is] a leprosy of the head or of the beard.
Leviticus 13:31	And if the priest examines the plague of the scale, and behold, its appearance [is] not deeper than the skin, and black hair [is] not in it, then the priest shall shut up [the one who has] the plague of the scale seven days.
Leviticus 13:32	And the priest shall examine the plague on the seventh day, and behold, [if] the scale has not spread, and there is not yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the scale is not deeper than the skin,
Leviticus 13:33	then he shall shave himself, and the scale he shall not shave. And the priest shall shut up the [one who has] the scale a second seven days.
Leviticus 13:34	And the priest shall examine the scale on the seventh day, and behold, [if] the scale has not spread in the skin, and the appearance of it is not deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean, and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:35	And if the scale spreads at all in the skin after his cleansing,
Leviticus 13:36	then the priest shall examine him, and behold, [if] the scale has spread in the skin, the priest need not seek for the yellow hair; he [is] unclean.
Leviticus 13:37	And if in his eyes the scale has stood, and black hair has grown up in it, the scale has been healed; he [is] clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus 13:38	And if a man or a woman has in the skin of their flesh bright spots—white bright spots—
Leviticus 13:39	then the priest shall examine, and behold, [if] in the skin of their flesh [are] dull white bright spots, it [is] a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he [is] clean.
Leviticus 13:40	And when a man’s head is made bare, he [is] bald; he [is] clean.
Leviticus 13:41	And if from the side of his face his head is made bare, he [is] bald of forehead; he [is] clean.
Leviticus 13:42	And if there is in the bald head or in the bald forehead a reddish-white … plague, it [is] leprosy breaking out in his bald head or in his bald forehead.
Leviticus 13:43	And the priest shall examine him, and behold, [if] the swelling of the plague [is] reddish-white … in his bald head or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the flesh,
Leviticus 13:44	he [is] a leprous man; he [is] unclean. The priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.
Leviticus 13:45	And the leper who [has] in him the plague, his clothes shall be torn, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall cover his mustache. And he shall call out, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
Leviticus 13:46	All the days that the plague [is] in him he shall be unclean; he [is] unclean. He shall dwell alone; his dwelling [is] outside of the camp.
Leviticus 13:47	And if [there is] a garment that has a plague of leprosy in it—in a garment of wool or in a garment of linen—
Leviticus 13:48	or in the warp or in the woof, for the linen and for the wool, or in skin or in any work of skin,
Leviticus 13:49	and the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
Leviticus 13:50	And the priest shall examine the plague, and he shall shut up the plague seven days.
Leviticus 13:51	And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, or in the warp or in the woof, or in the skin, for any work that the skin is made for, the plague [is] a harmful leprosy; it [is] unclean.
Leviticus 13:52	And he shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, in the wool or in the linen, or any article of skin that the plague is in it, for it [is] a harmful leprosy. In the fire it shall be burned.
Leviticus 13:53	And if the priest examines, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, or in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin,
Leviticus 13:54	then the priest shall command, and they shall wash that in which [is] the plague, and he shall shut it up a second seven days.
Leviticus 13:55	And the priest shall examine the plague after it has been washed, and behold, [if] the plague has not turned its eye, and the plague has not spread, it [is] unclean, and you shall burn it in the fire; it [is] a rot in its back part or in its front part.
Leviticus 13:56	And if the priest examines, and behold, the plague has faded after washing it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof.
Leviticus 13:57	And if again it appears in the garment, or in the warp or in the woof, or in any article of skin, it [is] breaking out; you shall burn it in the fire, that in which the plague [is].
Leviticus 13:58	And if the garment, or the warp or the woof, or any article of skin that you wash, and the plague departs from it, then it shall be washed a second [time], and it shall be clean.
Leviticus 13:59	This [is] the law of the plague of leprosy of a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or any article of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
Leviticus 14:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 14:2	“This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. And he shall be brought to the priest,
Leviticus 14:3	and the priest shall go out to the outside of the camp. And the priest shall examine [him], and behold, [if] the plague of the leprosy is healed in the leper,
Leviticus 14:4	then the priest shall command, and he shall take for the one being cleansed two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop.
Leviticus 14:5	And the priest shall command, and he shall slaughter one of the birds in an earthen vessel over living water.
Leviticus 14:6	The living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet yarn, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird [that was] slaughtered over the living water.
Leviticus 14:7	And he shall sprinkle it on the one being cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and he shall send out the living bird upon the face of the field.

Leviticus 14:10	And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs, unblemished, and one ewe lamb, a daughter of a year, unblemished, and three tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour [as] a grain offering, mixed with the oil, and one log of oil.

Leviticus 14:32	This [is] the law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand does not reach in his cleansing.”
Leviticus 14:33	And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 14:34	“When you⁺ come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you⁺ for a possession, and I put a plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your⁺ possession,
Leviticus 14:35	then he to whom the house [belongs] shall come, and he shall tell the priest, saying, ‘[Something] like a plague has appeared to me in the house.’
Leviticus 14:36	And the priest shall command, and they shall empty the house before the priest goes in to examine the plague, and all that [is] in the house shall not become unclean. And after thus, the priest shall go in to examine the house.
Leviticus 14:37	And he shall examine the plague, and behold, [if] the plague [is] in the walls of the house—hollow spots, greenish or reddish—and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,
Leviticus 14:38	then the priest shall go out from the house to the door of the house, and he shall shut up the house seven days.
Leviticus 14:39	And the priest shall return on the seventh day and he shall examine, and behold, [if] the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
Leviticus 14:40	then the priest shall command, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.
Leviticus 14:41	And he shall cause the house to be scraped from the house all around, and they shall pour out the dust that they have scraped off to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.
Leviticus 14:42	And they shall take other stones, and they shall bring [them] to the place of the stones; and he shall take other mortar, and he shall plaster the house.
Leviticus 14:43	And if the plague returns and it breaks out in the house after his taking out of the stones, and after his scraping the house, and after his plastering,
Leviticus 14:44	then the priest shall come and he shall examine, and behold, [if] the plague has spread in the house, it [is] a harmful leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.
Leviticus 14:45	And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timbers, and all the mortar of the house, and he shall carry [them] to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.

Leviticus 14:49	And he shall take to cleanse from sin the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet yarn, and hyssop,
Leviticus 14:50	and he shall slaughter one of the birds in an earthen vessel over living water.
Leviticus 14:51	And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet yarn, and the living bird, and he shall dip them in the blood of the bird [that was] slaughtered and in the living water, and he shall sprinkle [it] toward the house seven times.
Leviticus 14:52	And he shall cleanse from sin the house with the blood of the bird, and with the living water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet yarn.
Leviticus 14:53	And he shall send away the living bird to the outside of the city to the face of the field, and he shall make atonement upon the house, and it shall be clean.
Leviticus 14:54	This [is] the law for every plague of leprosy, and for the scale,
Leviticus 14:55	and for leprosy of the garment and of the house,
Leviticus 14:56	and for a swelling, and for the scab, and for the bright spot—
Leviticus 14:57	to teach in the day of the unclean, and in the day of the clean. This [is] the law of the leprosy.”
Leviticus 15:1	And YHWH spoke unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus 15:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘Any man—when there is a discharge from his flesh his discharge—it [is] unclean.
Leviticus 15:3	And this shall be his uncleanness in regard to his discharge—[whether] his flesh runs with his discharge, or his flesh is stopped up from his discharge; it [is] his uncleanness.
Leviticus 15:4	Every bed on which the one discharging lies is unclean, and every vessel that he sits on shall be unclean.

Leviticus 15:12	And the earthen vessel that the one discharging touches, shall be broken, and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in the water.
Leviticus 15:13	And when the one discharging is clean from his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and he shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in living water, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus 15:14	And on the eighth day he shall take for himself two turtledoves or two sons of a pigeon, and he shall come before the face of YHWH to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and he shall give them to the priest.
Leviticus 15:15	And the priest shall do them, one [as] a sin offering and the one [as] a burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement upon him before the face of YHWH from his discharge.

Leviticus 21:14	A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman—a prostitute—these he shall not marry; for rather he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife.
Leviticus 21:15	He shall not profane his posterity among his people. For I [am] YHWH, sanctifying him.”
Leviticus 21:16	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 21:17	“Speak to Aaron, saying, ‘No man of your seed to their generations who has a blemish in him shall draw near to bring near the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:18	For any man who has a blemish in him shall not approach—a man blind, or lame, or disfigured, or deformed,
Leviticus 21:19	or a man who has in him a breach in the foot, or a breach in the hand,
Leviticus 21:20	or a hunchback, or dwarfed, or a man who has a blemish in his eye, or itch, or scab, or a crushed testicle.
Leviticus 21:21	Any man of the seed of Aaron the priest who has a blemish in him shall not come near to offer the fire offerings to YHWH; he has a blemish in him. He shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus 21:22	He may eat the bread of his God from the holies of holies, and from the holies.
Leviticus 21:23	Only he shall not go near the veil. And he shall not approach the altar, because he has a blemish in him. And he shall not profane My sanctuaries, for I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.’”
Leviticus 21:24	And Moses told [it] to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel.
Leviticus 22:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:2	“Speak to Aaron and his sons, and they shall be separated from the holy things of the sons of Israel, lest they profane My holy name that they dedicate to Me. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 22:3	Say to them throughout your⁺ generations: Any man of all your⁺ seed who goes near the holy things that the sons of Israel dedicate to YHWH, and his uncleanness [is] upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 22:4	Any man of the seed of Aaron and [who] is a leper or has a discharge—the holy offerings he shall not eat until that he is clean; and whoever touches anything made unclean [by] a corpse or a man from whom a laying of seed goes out,
Leviticus 22:5	or a man who touches any swarming thing that is unclean to him or any person who is unclean to him, whatever his uncleanness may be,
Leviticus 22:6	then the person who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until the evening, and he shall not eat of the holy things, unless if he bathes his flesh with the water.
Leviticus 22:7	And when the sun goes down, then he shall be clean, and afterward he may eat of the holy things, because it [is] his food.
Leviticus 22:8	A carcass or torn thing he shall not eat, to defile himself with it. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 22:9	And they shall keep My ordinance and bear no sin for it that they die in it because they profane it. I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.
Leviticus 22:10	And not any outsider shall eat the holy thing; one who dwells with the priest and a hireling shall not eat the holy thing.
Leviticus 22:11	And if a priest buys a person with his silver, he may eat it. And one who is born in his house, they may eat his food.
Leviticus 22:12	And the daughter of a priest, if she is married to an outsider, she may not eat of the holy contributions.
Leviticus 22:13	And the daughter of a priest, if she is a widow or divorced and has no seed to her and has returned to the house of her father as in her youth, she may eat from the bread of her father, and no outsider shall eat it.
Leviticus 22:14	And if a man eats the holy thing in error, then he shall add a fifth to it and he shall restore [it] to the priest with the holy thing.
Leviticus 22:15	And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to YHWH,
Leviticus 22:16	or allow them to bear the guilt of trespass when they eat their holy things. For I [am] YHWH, sanctifying them.”
Leviticus 22:17	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:18	“Speak to Aaron and to his sons and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, ‘Any man of the house of Israel or of the sojourners in Israel who offers his sacrifice for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings that they offer to YHWH as a burnt offering,
Leviticus 22:19	you⁺ must offer freely an unblemished male of the herd from the sheep or from the goats.
Leviticus 22:20	Anything that has a blemish in it, you⁺ shall not offer; for it shall not be acceptable on your⁺ behalf.
Leviticus 22:21	And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to YHWH to fulfill [his] vow, or a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, it must be perfect for acceptance; there shall not be any blemish on it.
Leviticus 22:22	Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a running sore, or itch, or scab—these you⁺ shall not offer to YHWH, nor make of them a fire offering on the altar to YHWH.
Leviticus 22:23	And an ox or a lamb that has any limb too long or too short, you may offer [as] a freewill offering, and for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Leviticus 22:24	And what is bruised, or crushed, or torn, or cut you⁺ shall not offer to YHWH. And in your⁺ land you⁺ shall not do it.
Leviticus 22:25	And you⁺ shall not offer as the bread of your⁺ God from the hand of a son of a foreigner, from any of these, because their corruption [is] in them [and] defects [are] in them; they shall not be accepted on your⁺ behalf.’”
Leviticus 22:26	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 22:27	“When an ox or a sheep or a goat is born, then it shall be seven days with its mother, and from the eighth day and thereafter it shall be accepted for an offering, a fire offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 22:28	And an ox or a sheep—do not kill both her and her young in one day.
Leviticus 22:29	And when you⁺ offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to YHWH, offer [it] of your⁺ own free will.
Leviticus 22:30	On that day it shall be eaten; you⁺ shall leave none of it until morning. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 22:31	And you⁺ shall keep My commandments and perform them. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 22:32	And you⁺ shall not profane My holy name, and I will be acknowledged as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel. I [am] YHWH, sanctifying you⁺,
Leviticus 22:33	the One bringing you out of the land of Egypt, to be your⁺ God. I [am] YHWH.”
Leviticus 23:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The feasts of YHWH that you⁺ shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations—these are My feasts.
Leviticus 23:3	Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You⁺ shall not do any work; it [is] the Sabbath of YHWH in all your⁺ dwellings.
Leviticus 23:4	These [are] the feasts of YHWH, holy convocations, which you⁺ shall proclaim at their appointed times.
Leviticus 23:5	In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:6	And [on] the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of the Unleavened to YHWH. Seven days you⁺ must eat unleavened [bread].
Leviticus 23:7	On the first day you⁺ shall have a holy convocation. You⁺ shall not do any customary work.
Leviticus 23:8	And you⁺ shall offer a fire offering to YHWH [for] seven days. The seventh day [is] a holy convocation; you⁺ shall not do any customary work.’”
Leviticus 23:9	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:10	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you⁺ come into the land that I am giving to you⁺ and you⁺ reap its harvest, then you⁺ shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your⁺ harvest to the priest.
Leviticus 23:11	And he shall wave the sheaf before the face of YHWH to be accepted on your⁺ behalf. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Leviticus 23:12	And you⁺ shall offer on that day when you⁺ wave the sheaf a male lamb, unblemished, a son of a year, as a burnt offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:13	And its grain offering [is] two tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the oil, a fire offering to YHWH, a pleasing aroma. And its drink offering [is] of wine, a fourth of a hin.
Leviticus 23:14	And you⁺ shall not eat bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day that you⁺ have brought an offering to your⁺ God; [it shall be] an everlasting statute throughout your⁺ generations in all your⁺ dwellings.
Leviticus 23:15	And you⁺ shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you⁺ brought the sheaf of the wave offering—they are seven completed Sabbaths—
Leviticus 23:16	until the day after the seventh Sabbath. You⁺ shall number fifty days, and you⁺ shall offer a new grain offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:17	From your⁺ dwellings you⁺ shall bring bread of a wave offering, two [loaves], of two tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven, the firstfruits to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:18	And you⁺ shall offer with the bread seven lambs unblemished, sons of a year, and one bull, a son of the herd, and two rams; they shall be a burnt offering to YHWH, and with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, a fire offering for a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:19	And you⁺ shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs, sons of a year, as a sacrifice of peace offerings.
Leviticus 23:20	And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH, besides the two lambs; they shall be holy to YHWH for the priest.
Leviticus 23:21	And you⁺ shall proclaim on this same day [that] it is a holy convocation to you⁺. You⁺ shall not do any customary work; [it shall be] an everlasting statute in all your⁺ dwellings throughout your⁺ generations.
Leviticus 23:22	And in your⁺ reaping the harvest of your⁺ land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field in your reaping, and you shall not gather the gleaning of your harvest; you shall leave them to the poor and to the sojourner. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’”
Leviticus 23:23	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:24	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first of the month, it shall be to you⁺ a complete rest, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation.
Leviticus 23:25	You⁺ shall not do any customary work, and you⁺ shall offer a fire offering to YHWH.’”
Leviticus 23:26	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:27	“Indeed on the tenth of this seventh month, it [is] the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you⁺ a holy convocation, and you⁺ shall afflict your⁺ souls and offer a fire offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:28	And you⁺ shall not do any work on this same day. For it [is] the Day of Atonement, to make atonement upon you⁺ before the face of YHWH your⁺ God.
Leviticus 23:29	For any person who is not afflicted on this very day shall even be cut off from his people.
Leviticus 23:30	And any person who does any work on this very day, I will even destroy that person from among his people.
Leviticus 23:31	You⁺ shall not do any work; [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your⁺ generations in all your⁺ dwellings.
Leviticus 23:32	It [is] to you⁺ a Sabbath of complete rest, and you⁺ shall afflict your⁺ souls. On the ninth of the month at the evening, from evening to evening you⁺ shall celebrate your⁺ sabbath.”
Leviticus 23:33	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:34	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month [is] the Feast of Booths [for] seven days to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:35	On the first day [is] a holy convocation; you⁺ shall not do any customary work.
Leviticus 23:36	[For] seven days you⁺ shall offer a fire offering to YHWH. On the eighth day you⁺ shall have a holy convocation, and you⁺ shall offer a fire offering to YHWH. It [is] a sacred assembly; you⁺ shall not do any customary work.
Leviticus 23:37	These [are] the feasts of YHWH that you⁺ shall proclaim as holy convocations, to offer a fire offering to YHWH, a burnt offering, and a grain offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings—everything on its proper day—
Leviticus 23:38	besides the Sabbaths of YHWH, and besides your⁺ gifts, and besides all your⁺ vows, and besides all your⁺ freewill offerings that you⁺ give to YHWH.
Leviticus 23:39	Indeed on the five [and] tenth day of the seventh month, when you⁺ have gathered in the produce of the land, you⁺ shall keep the feast of YHWH [for] seven days. On the first day [is] a complete rest, and on the eighth day a complete rest.
Leviticus 23:40	And you⁺ shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook. And you⁺ shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your⁺ God [for] seven days.
Leviticus 23:41	And you⁺ shall keep it as a feast to YHWH [for] seven days in the year, an everlasting statute in your⁺ generations. In the seventh month you⁺ shall celebrate it.
Leviticus 23:42	You⁺ shall dwell in booths [for] seven days; all the native of Israel shall dwell in booths,
Leviticus 23:43	that your⁺ generations may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’”
Leviticus 23:44	And Moses declared the feasts of YHWH to the sons of Israel.
Leviticus 24:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 24:2	“Command the sons of Israel that they bring to you pure olive oil, pressed, for the light, to make the lamps to go up continually.
Leviticus 24:3	Outside the veil of the Testimony, in the Tent of Meeting, Aaron shall arrange it from evening until morning before the face of YHWH continually; [it is] an everlasting statute in your⁺ generations.
Leviticus 24:4	On the pure [gold] lampstand He shall arrange the lamps before the face of YHWH continually.
Leviticus 24:5	And you shall take fine flour and bake with it two [and] ten cakes; two tenths [of an ephah] shall be one cake.
Leviticus 24:6	And you shall set them in two rows, six in a row, on the pure [gold] table before the face of YHWH.
Leviticus 24:7	And you shall put on each row pure frankincense, that it may be with the bread for a memorial, a fire offering to YHWH.
Leviticus 24:8	On the Sabbath day by Sabbath day he shall arrange it before the face of YHWH continually on behalf of the sons of Israel as an everlasting covenant.
Leviticus 24:9	And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in a holy place. For it [is] holy of holies to him from the fire offerings of YHWH—an everlasting statute.”
Leviticus 24:10	And a son of a woman, an Israelitess, went out (and he the son of an Egyptian man) in the midst of the sons of Israel. And this son of the Israelitess and a man of the Israelites fought each other in the camp.
Leviticus 24:11	And the son of the woman, the Israelitess, blasphemed the Name and cursed. And they brought him to Moses. And His mother’s name [was] Shelomith daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.
Leviticus 24:12	And they put him in custody, that it might be shown to them upon the mouth of YHWH.
Leviticus 24:13	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 24:14	“Take him who has cursed to the outside of the camp, and let all who heard [him] lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Leviticus 24:15	And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any man curses his God, then he shall bear his sin.
Leviticus 24:16	And whoever blasphemes the name of YHWH must surely be put to death. All the congregation must surely stone him, as the sojourner, as the native; when he blasphemes the name he shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24:17	And whoever kills any man, he must surely be put to death.
Leviticus 24:18	And he who kills an animal shall make it good—the life of animal for animal.
Leviticus 24:19	And if a man causes disfigurement of his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him:
Leviticus 24:20	Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused disfigurement in the man, so shall it be done to him.
Leviticus 24:21	And whoever kills an animal shall restore it; and whoever kills a man, he shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24:22	You⁺ shall have one law. As the sojourner it shall be as the native, for I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’”
Leviticus 24:23	And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they took him who had cursed to the outside of the camp, and they stoned him with stones. And the sons of Israel did as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Leviticus 25:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying,
Leviticus 25:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you⁺ come into the land that I am giving to you⁺, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to YHWH.
Leviticus 25:3	Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather its fruit.
Leviticus 25:4	And in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for the land, a Sabbath to YHWH. Your field you shall not sow, and your vineyard you shall not prune.
Leviticus 25:5	What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, and the grapes of your untended vine [you shall] not gather. It is a year of complete rest for the land.
Leviticus 25:6	And the Sabbath of the land to you⁺ shall be food for you, and for your manservant, and for your maidservant, and for your hireling, and for your sojourner sojourning with you,
Leviticus 25:7	and for your livestock, and for the beast that [is] in your land. All its produce shall be for food.
Leviticus 25:8	And you shall count for yourself seven Sabbaths of years—seven years seven times—and the days of seven Sabbaths of years shall be to you nine and forty years.
Leviticus 25:9	And the shofar of the Jubilee you shall cause to sound in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, in the Day of the Atonements. You⁺ shall make the shofar to sound throughout all your⁺ land.
Leviticus 25:10	And you⁺ shall consecrate the year, the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty in the land to all its dwellers. It shall be a Jubilee for you⁺, and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.
Leviticus 25:11	That fiftieth year shall be a year of Jubilee to you⁺. You⁺ shall not sow, nor reap what grows of its own accord, nor gather of your untended vine.
Leviticus 25:12	For it [is] a Jubilee; it shall be holy to you⁺. You⁺ shall eat its produce from the field.
Leviticus 25:13	In the Year of this Jubilee each of you shall return to his possession.
Leviticus 25:14	And if you⁺ sell anything to your neighbor or buy from the hand of your neighbor, you⁺ shall not oppress one another.
Leviticus 25:15	According to the number of years after the Jubilee, you shall buy from your neighbor, and according to the number of years of crops, he shall sell to you.
Leviticus 25:16	According to the multitude of the years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewness of the years you shall diminish its price, for he is selling to you a number of crops.
Leviticus 25:17	And you⁺ shall not oppress one another, and you shall fear your God. For I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.
Leviticus 25:18	And you⁺ shall observe My statutes, and keep My ordinances and perform them, and you⁺ will dwell in the land in safety.
Leviticus 25:19	And the land will yield its fruit, and you⁺ will eat your fill and dwell in safety there.
Leviticus 25:20	Now you⁺ may say, ‘What shall we eat in the seventh year, since we shall not sow nor gather in our produce?’
Leviticus 25:21	And I will command My blessing on you⁺ in the sixth year, and it will bring forth enough produce for three years.
Leviticus 25:22	And you⁺ shall sow in the eighth year, and eat of the old produce until the ninth year; until its produce comes in, you⁺ shall eat [of] the old [harvest].
Leviticus 25:23	And the land shall not be sold permanently, for the land [is] Mine, for you⁺ [are] strangers and sojourners with Me.
Leviticus 25:24	And in all the land of your⁺ possession, you⁺ shall grant redemption of the land.
Leviticus 25:25	If one of your brothers becomes poor and he has sold [some] of his possession, then the redeemer to him, if he comes to redeem it, he may redeem what his brother sold.
Leviticus 25:26	And if the man, there is unto him no one to redeem [it], and he has found his own hand has attained sufficiency [for] its redemption,
Leviticus 25:27	then let him count the years of its sale and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.
Leviticus 25:28	But if his hand has not found sufficiency to have [it] restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of the Jubilee. And it shall be released in the Jubilee, and he shall return to his possession.
Leviticus 25:29	And if a man sells a dwelling-house in a walled city, then it shall be that he may redeem it within the completion of a year from its selling; during that year it may be redeemed.
Leviticus 25:30	But if it is not redeemed within the filling for it of a full year, the house that [is] within that walled city, then it shall belong forever to the buyer of it throughout his generations; it shall not be released in the Jubilee.
Leviticus 25:31	And the houses of the villages that have no wall around them, as the fields of the country, shall be counted redeemed; and they may be unto it; they shall be released in the Jubilee.
Leviticus 25:32	And as for the cities of the Levites, the houses the Levites shall be a redemption of perpetuity in the cities of their possession.
Leviticus 25:33	And as to him who redeems from the Levites, then both the sale of a house and the city of his possession shall be released in the Jubilee. For the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Leviticus 25:34	And the field of the pastureland of their cities may not be sold, for it [is] an everlasting possession to them.
Leviticus 25:35	And if one of your brothers among you becomes poor and his hand has failed, then you shall help him like a sojourner or a stranger, and he may live with you.
Leviticus 25:36	And you shall not take usury from him or interest; you shall fear your God, that your brother may live with you.
Leviticus 25:37	You shall lend your silver to him, not for usury at a profit, nor sell him your food.
Leviticus 25:38	I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt to give to you⁺ the land of Canaan [and] to be your⁺ God.
Leviticus 25:39	And if [one of] your brothers among you becomes poor, and he sells himself to you, you shall not compel him to serve as a slave.
Leviticus 25:40	He shall be as a hireling [and] a sojourner with you; he shall serve you until the Year of the Jubilee.
Leviticus 25:41	And he shall depart from you, and his children with him, and he shall return to his own family, and to the possession of his fathers he shall return.
Leviticus 25:42	For they [are] My servants whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.
Leviticus 25:43	You shall not rule over him with rigor, and you shall fear your God.
Leviticus 25:44	And your manservant and your maidservant whom you may have [are] from the nations that are around you⁺; from them you⁺ may buy [a] manservant and maidservant.
Leviticus 25:45	Moreover, the sons of the sojourners who dwell among you⁺, these you⁺ may buy, and their clans who are with you⁺ that they beget in your⁺ land; and they shall be unto you⁺ for a possession.
Leviticus 25:46	And you⁺ may take them as an inheritance for your⁺ children after you⁺ to inherit [them] [as] a possession forever; in them shall be your⁺ slaves, and regarding your⁺ brothers, the sons of Israel, you shall not rule with rigor one over another.
Leviticus 25:47	And if a sojourner or stranger among you becomes rich, and [one of] your brothers by him becomes poor and sells himself to the sojourner or stranger among you, or to a member of the family of a sojourner,
Leviticus 25:48	after he is sold, there is unto him the right of redemption. One of his brothers may redeem him,
Leviticus 25:49	or his uncle or a son of his uncle may redeem him, or [someone] from a close relative of his flesh from his family may redeem him, or if his own hand has attained, then he may redeem himself.
Leviticus 25:50	And he shall reckon with him who bought him from the year that he was sold to him, until the Year of the Jubilee. And the price of his release shall be according to the number of years; it is according to the time of a hireling for him.
Leviticus 25:51	If yet [there are] many years according to them, he shall repay the price of his redemption from the silver with which he was bought.
Leviticus 25:52	And if but a few years remain until the Year of the Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him according to his years; he shall repay him the price of his redemption.
Leviticus 25:53	As a hireling year by year he shall be with him. He shall not rule over him with rigor in your eyes.
Leviticus 25:54	And if he is not redeemed in these [years], then he shall be released in the Year of the Jubilee—he and his children with him.
Leviticus 25:55	For the sons of Israel [are] servants to Me. They [are] My servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.
Leviticus 26:1	[“] You⁺ shall not make for yourselves idols, and you⁺ shall not rear up for yourselves a graven image or standing image, and you⁺ shall not set up an engraved stone in your⁺ land to bow down to it. For I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.
Leviticus 26:2	You⁺ shall keep My Sabbaths and you⁺ shall revere My sanctuary. I [am] YHWH.
Leviticus 26:3	If you⁺ walk in My statutes and and keep My commandments and do them,
Leviticus 26:4	then I will give to you⁺ rain in its season, and the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit,
Leviticus 26:5	and your⁺ threshing shall last until the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last until the time of sowing, and you⁺ shall eat your⁺ bread to the full and dwell safely in your⁺ land.
Leviticus 26:6	And I will give peace in the land, and you⁺ shall lie down, and nothing will make [you] afraid. And evil beasts I will cause to cease from the land, and the sword will not go into your⁺ land.
Leviticus 26:7	And you⁺ will pursue your⁺ enemies, and they shall fall before you⁺ by the sword.
Leviticus 26:8	And five of you⁺ shall pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you⁺ shall pursue a myriad, and your⁺ enemies shall fall before you⁺ by the sword.
Leviticus 26:9	And I will turn to you⁺ and make you fruitful and multiply you⁺, and I will establish My covenant with you⁺.
Leviticus 26:10	And you⁺ shall eat the old store a long time, and you⁺ will move out the old store because of the new.
Leviticus 26:11	And I will set My tabernacle in your⁺ midst, and My soul shall not abhor you⁺.
Leviticus 26:12	And I will walk in your⁺ midst, and I will be unto you⁺ God, and you⁺ will be unto Me for a people.
Leviticus 26:13	I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, who brought you⁺ out of the land of Egypt, that [you] should not be their slaves. And I have broken the bands of your⁺ yoke and made you walk upright.
Leviticus 26:14	But if you⁺ do not obey Me and do not observe all these commandments,
Leviticus 26:15	and if you⁺ despise My statutes, and if your⁺ soul abhors My ordinances so as not to perform all My commandments to your⁺ breaking My covenant,
Leviticus 26:16	then I also will do this to you⁺: I will appoint over you⁺ terror, wasting disease, and fever, which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart, and you⁺ shall sow your⁺ seed in vain, and your⁺ enemies shall eat it.
Leviticus 26:17	And I will set My face against you⁺, and you⁺ shall be defeated by your⁺ enemies. And those who hate you⁺ shall reign over you⁺, and you⁺ shall flee when none pursues you⁺.
Leviticus 26:18	And if after these [things] you⁺ do not obey Me, then I will add to punish you⁺ sevenfold for your⁺ sins.
Leviticus 26:19	And I will break the pride of your⁺ power, and I will make your⁺ heavens like iron and your⁺ earth like bronze.
Leviticus 26:20	And your⁺ power shall be spent in vain, and your⁺ land shall not yield its produce, and the trees of the land shall not yield their fruit.
Leviticus 26:21	And if you⁺ walk contrary to Me and are not willing to obey Me, then I will add to you⁺ a plague sevenfold, according to your⁺ sins.
Leviticus 26:22	And I will send among you⁺ the wild beast, and it shall rob you of your⁺ children and destroy your⁺ livestock and make you⁺ few in number, and your⁺ highways shall be desolate.
Leviticus 26:23	And if by these things you⁺ are not reformed by Me, and you⁺ walk contrary to Me,
Leviticus 26:24	then I will also walk contrary to you⁺, and I will punish you⁺—even I—sevenfold for your⁺ sins.
Leviticus 26:25	And I will bring against you⁺ a sword that will kill the vengeance of the covenant. And [when] you⁺ are gathered together within your⁺ cities, then I will send pestilence in your⁺ midst, and you⁺ shall be given into the hand of the enemy.
Leviticus 26:26	In My breaking your⁺ staff of bread, then ten women shall bake your⁺ bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your⁺ bread by weight, and you⁺ shall eat and not be satisfied.
Leviticus 26:27	And if after all this you⁺ do not obey Me, and [if] you⁺ walk contrary to Me,
Leviticus 26:28	then I will also walk contrary to you⁺ in fury, and I will chastise you⁺—even I—sevenfold for your⁺ sins.
Leviticus 26:29	And you⁺ shall eat the flesh of your⁺ sons; even the flesh of your⁺ daughters you⁺ shall eat.
Leviticus 26:30	And I will destroy your⁺ high places and cut down your⁺ incense altars and cast your⁺ carcasses on the lifeless forms of your⁺ idols, and My soul will abhor you⁺.
Leviticus 26:31	And I will lay waste your⁺ cities and bring to desolation your⁺ sanctuaries, and I will not smell your⁺ pleasing. aromas
Leviticus 26:32	And I will bring to desolation the land, and your⁺ enemies who dwell in it will be astonished at it.
Leviticus 26:33	And I will scatter you⁺ among the nations and draw out after you⁺ a sword. And your⁺ land will be desolate and your⁺ cities will become waste.
Leviticus 26:34	Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths, all the days of the desolation—and you⁺ [are] in the land of your⁺ enemies. Then the land shall rest and enjoy its sabbaths.
Leviticus 26:35	All the days of the desolation it shall rest, for it did not rest in your⁺ Sabbaths, when you⁺ dwelt in it.
Leviticus 26:36	And those remaining of you⁺, I will send faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a shaken leaf will cause them to flee, and they will flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they will fall when none pursues.

Leviticus 26:38	And you⁺ shall perish among the nations, and the land of your⁺ enemies shall eat you⁺ up.
Leviticus 26:39	And those who are left of you⁺ shall waste away in their iniquity in the lands of your⁺ enemies, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall waste away with them.
Leviticus 26:40	And if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, with their unfaithfulness in which they were unfaithful to Me, and also that they have walked contrary to Me,
Leviticus 26:41	and also [that] I have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and then they accept their guilt,
Leviticus 26:42	then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac, and I will remember My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
Leviticus 26:43	And the land shall be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they will accept their guilt because, even because, they have despised My ordinances and their souls have abhorred My statutes.
Leviticus 26:44	And also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, nor will I abhor them to utterly destroy them and break My covenant with them. For I [am] YHWH their God.
Leviticus 26:45	And I will remember for their sake the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the eyes of the nations, that I might be their God. I [am] YHWH.”
Leviticus 26:46	And these [are] the statutes and the ordinances and the laws that YHWH made between Himself and between the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus 27:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Leviticus 27:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, ‘When a man makes a wonderful vow, in your valuation of his soul to YHWH,
Leviticus 27:3	your valuation, if it is a male from a son of twenty years and up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Leviticus 27:4	And if it [is] a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels;
Leviticus 27:5	and if from a son of five years and up to twenty years old, then your valuation shall be for the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels;
Leviticus 27:6	and if from a son of a month and up to five years old, then your valuation shall be for the male five shekels of silver, and for the female your valuation [is] three shekels of silver;
Leviticus 27:7	and if from a son of sixty years and above, if [it is] a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Leviticus 27:8	And if he is poorer than your valuation, then he shall present him before the face of the priest, and the priest shall value him according to mouth, after the reach of the hand who vowed, the priest shall value him.
Leviticus 27:9	And if [it is] an animal that men may bring as an offering to YHWH, all that he gives of such to YHWH shall be holy.
Leviticus 27:10	He shall not substitute it or exchange it, good for bad or bad for good. And if he actually substitutes animal for animal, then it shall be that it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy.
Leviticus 27:11	And if [it is] any unclean animal, which they do not offer as a sacrifice to YHWH, then he shall present the animal before the face of the priest.
Leviticus 27:12	And the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you value it, so the priest shall set it.
Leviticus 27:13	But if he really redeems it, then he must add a fifth to your valuation.
Leviticus 27:14	And when a man dedicates his house [to be] holy to YHWH, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad. As the priest values it, so shall it stand.
Leviticus 27:15	And if he who dedicated it would redeem his house, then he must add a fifth of the silver of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.
Leviticus 27:16	And if a man dedicates to YHWH [part] of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it—a homer of barley seed at fifty shekels of silver.
Leviticus 27:17	If he dedicates his field in the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.
Leviticus 27:18	But if he dedicates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon due to him the silver according to the years that remain until the Year of the Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.
Leviticus 27:19	And if he who dedicates it really redeems the field, he must add a fifth of the silver of your valuation to it, and it shall belong to him.
Leviticus 27:20	But if he does not want to redeem the field, or if he has sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed anymore.
Leviticus 27:21	And the field, when it is released in the Jubilee, shall be holy. As a field devoted to YHWH, it shall be the possession of the priest.
Leviticus 27:22	And if one dedicates to YHWH a field which he has bought, which is not a field of his possession,
Leviticus 27:23	then the priest shall reckon to him the worth of your valuation up to the Year of the Jubilee, and he shall give your valuation on that day [as] a holy thing to YHWH.
Leviticus 27:24	In the Year of the Jubilee the field shall return to him from whom it was bought, to whom [is] the possession of the land.
Leviticus 27:25	And all your valuations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary; twenty gerahs shall be to the shekel.
Leviticus 27:26	But the firstborn that [is] to YHWH firstborn of the animals, no man shall dedicate, whether [it is] an ox or a sheep; it belongs to YHWH.
Leviticus 27:27	And if an animal [is] unclean, then he shall redeem [it] according to your valuation and shall add a fifth to it. Or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.
Leviticus 27:28	Nevertheless any devoted thing that a man may devote to YHWH of all that [is] unto him, man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall not be sold and it shall not be redeemed. Every devoted thing [is] holy of holies to YHWH.
Leviticus 27:29	Any devoted thing that is devoted to destruction among men shall not be redeemed; it must surely be put to death.
Leviticus 27:30	And all the tithe of the land, [whether] of the seed of the land [or] of the fruit of the tree, [is] to YHWH; it [is] holy to YHWH.
Leviticus 27:31	And if a man really redeems of his tithes, he shall add a fifth to it.
Leviticus 27:32	And concerning the tithe of the herd or the flock, the tenth of whatever passes under the rod shall be holy to YHWH.
Leviticus 27:33	He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it. And if he actually substitutes, then it shall be that it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.’”
Leviticus 27:34	These [are] the commandments that YHWH commanded Moses for the sons of Israel on Mount Sinai.
Numbers 1:1	And YHWH spoke to 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 from the land of Egypt, saying,

Numbers 4:3	from a son of thirty years and above, and to a son of fifty years, all who enter the service to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:4	This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting: The holy of holies;
Numbers 4:5	and Aaron and his sons shall come in the setting forth of the camp, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover with it the ark of the Testimony.
Numbers 4:6	And they shall put on it a covering of badger skins, and spread a cloth entirely of blue over it, and they shall insert its poles.

Numbers 4:14	And they shall put on it all its implements with that they minister there, the firepans, the forks, and the shovels, and the basins, and all the vessels of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles.
Numbers 4:15	And [when] Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when is set to go the camp, after that the sons of Kohath shall come to carry [them]; and they shall not touch unto any holy thing, lest they die. These [are] the things that are to carry the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:16	And the appointed duty of Eleazar son of Aaron the priest [is] the oil for the light, and the incense of spices, and the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that [is] in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.”
Numbers 4:17	And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Numbers 4:18	“Do not cut off the tribe of the clans of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites.
Numbers 4:19	And this do in regard to them, that they may live and not die, when they approach the holy of holies: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint every man to his service and his task;

Numbers 4:21	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 4:22	“Take a census of the sons of Gershon, even them, by the house of their fathers, by their clans.
Numbers 4:23	From a son of thirty years and above, even to a son of fifty years you shall number them, all who enter to perform the service, to do the work in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:24	This [is] the service of the clans of the Gershonite in serving and carrying:
Numbers 4:25	And they shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the Tent of Meeting [with] its covering, and the covering of badger skins that [is] on it, and the screen of the door of the Tent of Meeting,
Numbers 4:26	and the hangings of the court, and the screen of the door of the gate of the court that [is] around the tabernacle, and the altar all around, and their cords, and all the furnishings for their service, and all that is made for these things; and they shall serve.
Numbers 4:27	Upon the appointment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonite, all their tasks and all their service; and you⁺ shall appoint to them as their duty all their tasks.
Numbers 4:28	This [is] the service of the clans of the sons of the Gershonite in the Tent of Meeting, and their duties [are] by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
Numbers 4:29	[As for] the sons of Merari, by their clans, and by the house of their fathers, you shall number them,
Numbers 4:30	from a son of thirty years and above, and to a son of fifty years, you shall number them, everyone who enters the service, to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:31	And this [is] what they must carry as all their service for the Tent of Meeting: The boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its bases.
Numbers 4:32	And the pillars around the court, and their bases, and pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings, and all their service; and by name you⁺ shall assign the items of the charge of their burden.
Numbers 4:33	This [is] the service of the clans of the sons of Merari, as all their service, for the Tent of Meeting, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
Numbers 4:34	And Moses and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathite by their clans, and by the house of their fathers,
Numbers 4:35	from a son of thirty years and above and to a son of fifty years, everyone who entered the service, for work in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 4:36	And those numbered by their clans were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.

Numbers 4:45	These [are] those numbered of the clans of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron numbered, according to the word of YHWH, by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 4:46	All who were numbered, whom Moses and Aaron and the leaders of Israel numbered of the Levites by their clans, and by the houses of their fathers,
Numbers 4:47	from a son of thirty years and above and to a son of fifty years, everyone who came to do the work of the service and the work of bearing burdens in the Tent of Meeting,
Numbers 4:48	even those numbered were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty.
Numbers 4:49	According to the commandment of YHWH they were numbered by the hand of Moses, man [by] man according to his service, and according to his task; and they were numbered by him as YHWH commanded Moses.
Numbers 5:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 5:2	“Command the sons of Israel, and they shall put out of the camp every leper, and everyone who has a discharge, and everyone defiled by a corpse.
Numbers 5:3	From male to female you⁺ shall put out, toward the outside of the camp you⁺ shall put them, that they may not defile their camps in the midst of which I dwell.”
Numbers 5:4	And the sons of Israel did so, and put them toward the outside of the camp; as YHWH spoke to Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
Numbers 5:5	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 5:6	“Speak to the sons of Israel, a man or woman, when they do from all the sins of the man, to act unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—against YHWH, and that soul is guilty,
Numbers 5:7	and he shall confess the sin that he has committed, and He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, and plus a fifth of [it] to it, and give [it] to the one he has done wrong unto him.
Numbers 5:8	But if the man [has] no redeemer to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong [is] unto YHWH, for the priest, in addition to the ram of the atonement, with which atonement is made for him.
Numbers 5:9	And every contribution of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring to the priest, unto him shall be.
Numbers 5:10	And every man’s holy things shall be unto him; whatever any man gives the priest shall be unto him.”
Numbers 5:11	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 5:12	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: A man, a man—when his wife goes astray and she acts unfaithfully against him—an unfaithfulness—
Numbers 5:13	and a man lying with her lies, sowing, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed, and she has defiled herself, and [there is] no witness against her, and she was not caught,
Numbers 5:14	and if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, and she has defiled herself; or [if] a spirit of jealousy comes upon him, and he becomes jealous of his wife although she has not defiled herself,
Numbers 5:15	then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. And He shall bring the offering required for her, a tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall not pour on it oil and not put on it frankincense, because it [is] a grain offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, for bringing to remembrance iniquity.
Numbers 5:16	And the priest shall bring her near and set her before the face of YHWH.
Numbers 5:17	And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take and put [it] into the water.
Numbers 5:18	And the priest shall have the woman stand before the face of YHWH, and he shall uncover the head of the woman and put in her hands the offering of the memorial, that [is] the grain offering of jealousy. And in his hand the priest shall have the bitter water that brings a curse.
Numbers 5:19	And the priest shall put her under oath and say to the woman, ‘If no man has lain with you, and if you have not gone astray to uncleanness [while] under your husband, be free from these bitter waters that bring the curse.
Numbers 5:20	And if you have gone astray [while] under your husband, and if you have defiled yourself, and some man has lain with you in intercourse, other than your husband’—
Numbers 5:21	then the priest shall put the woman under the curse of the oath—and the priest shall say to the woman, ‘YHWH will make you an oath and a curse in the midst of your people, when YHWH makes your thigh to rot and your belly to swell.
Numbers 5:22	And may these waters that cause the curse go into your stomach, and make swell [your] belly, and [your] thigh rot.’ And the woman shall say, ‘Amen, Amen.’
Numbers 5:23	And the priest shall write these oaths in the book, and he shall wipe [them] off into the bitter water.
Numbers 5:24	And he shall make the woman drink the bitter waters that bring a curse, and the waters that bring the curse shall enter into her for bitterness.
Numbers 5:25	And the priest shall take from the hand of the woman the grain offering of jealousy, and he shall wave the offering before the face of YHWH and bring it to the altar.
Numbers 5:26	And the priest shall take a handful of the offering as its memorial and burn [it] on the altar, and afterward he shall make the woman drink the water.
Numbers 5:27	And he shall make her drink the water, and it shall come to pass if she has defiled herself and acted unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—against her husband, that the water bringing a curse will enter into her for bitterness, and her belly will swell, and her thigh will rot, and the woman will become a curse among her people.
Numbers 5:28	But if the woman has not defiled herself and she is clean, then she shall be free and she may be sown with seed.
Numbers 5:29	This [is] the law of jealousy, when a wife goes astray [while] under her husband and defiles herself,
Numbers 5:30	or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of his wife. And he shall have the woman stand before the face of YHWH, and the priest shall apply upon her all this law.
Numbers 5:31	And the man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.”
Numbers 6:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 6:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, when a man or woman consecrates an offering, to vow the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto YHWH,
Numbers 6:3	he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink. He shall not drink vinegar of wine or vinegar of strong drink. And he shall not drink any grape juice, and he shall not eat fresh grapes or raisins.
Numbers 6:4	All the days of his separation, of all that is produced by the grapevine—from seed and up to skin—he shall not eat.
Numbers 6:5	All the days of the vow of his separation, no razor shall come upon his head. Until the fulfilling of the days for which he separated himself unto YHWH, he shall be holy; he shall let grow the locks of the hair of his head.
Numbers 6:6	All the days that he separates himself unto YHWH, a dead body he shall not go near.
Numbers 6:7	Even for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, he shall not make himself unclean when they die, because the separation of his God [is] on his head.
Numbers 6:8	All the days of his separation, he shall be holy unto YHWH.
Numbers 6:9	And if someone actually dies beside him very suddenly, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.
Numbers 6:10	And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two sons of a pigeon to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 6:11	And the priest shall offer one for a sin offering, and one for a burnt offering, and he shall make atonement upon him from which he sinned regarding the corpse, and he shall sanctify his head that day.
Numbers 6:12	And He shall consecrate to YHWH the days of his separation, and he shall bring a male lamb, a son of a year, as a guilt offering; and the former days shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
Numbers 6:13	And this [is] the law of the Nazirite on a day fulfilling the days of his separation. He shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 6:14	And he shall present his offering to YHWH: One male lamb, a son of a year, unblemished, as a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb, a daughter of a year, unblemished, as a sin offering, and one ram, unblemished, as peace offerings,
Numbers 6:15	and a basket of unleavened of fine flour, cakes mixed with the oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with the oil, and their grain offerings, and their drink offerings.
Numbers 6:16	And the priest shall bring [them] before the face of YHWH and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering.
Numbers 6:17	And he shall offer the ram as a sacrifice of peace offering to YHWH, with the basket of the unleavened [bread]; and the priest shall offer its grain offering and its drink offering.
Numbers 6:18	And the Nazirite shall shave [at] the door of the Tent of Meeting the head of his separation, and he shall take the hair of the head of his separation and put [it] on the fire that is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
Numbers 6:19	And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall put them on the palms of the Nazirite, after his shaving his separation.
Numbers 6:20	And the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the face of YHWH; [they] are holy to the priest, together with the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution, and afterward the Nazirite may drink wine.
Numbers 6:21	This [is] the law of the Nazirite who vows the offering to YHWH for his separation, apart from whatever else his hand reaches; according to the vow that he takes, so he must do according to the law of his separation.”
Numbers 6:22	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 6:23	“Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, this is the way You⁺ shall bless the sons of Israel. Say to them,
Numbers 6:24	‘YHWH bless you, and keep you.
Numbers 6:25	YHWH cause His face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
Numbers 6:26	YHWH lift up His countenance upon you, and give unto you peace.’
Numbers 6:27	And they shall put My name on the sons of Israel, and I will bless them.”
Numbers 7:1	And it came to pass on the day Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle that he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its vessels. And he anointed them and consecrated them.
Numbers 7:2	The leaders of Israel, the heads of the houses of their fathers, they [were] the leaders of the tribes; these stood over the numbered and made an offering.
Numbers 7:3	And they brought their offering before the face of YHWH, six covered carts and twelve oxen—a cart for [every] two of the leaders and an ox for each one—and they presented them before the face of the tabernacle.
Numbers 7:4	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 7:5	“Accept [these] from them, that they may be used in doing the work of the Tent of Meeting. And you shall give them to the Levites, [to] every man according to his service.”
Numbers 7:6	And Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave to them to the Levites.
Numbers 7:7	Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon, according to their service,
Numbers 7:8	and four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari, according to their service, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
Numbers 7:9	And to the sons of Kohath he gave none, because the service of the holy things [was] theirs, [which] they carried on the shoulder.
Numbers 7:10	And the leaders offered the dedication for the altar when it was anointed, and the leaders offered their offerings before the face of the altar.
Numbers 7:11	And YHWH said to Moses, “One the leader for the day—one the leader for the day—they shall offer their offerings for the dedication of the altar.”

Numbers 8:4	And this [was] the workmanship of the lampstand: Hammered gold—from its shaft to its flowers it [was] hammered work; according to the pattern that YHWH had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
Numbers 8:5	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 8:6	“Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel and cleanse them.
Numbers 8:7	Thus you shall do to them to cleanse them: Sprinkle on them waters of purification, and let a razor pass over all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes and make themselves clean.
Numbers 8:8	And let them take a bull, a son of the herd, and its grain offering of fine flour mixed with the oil; and a second bull, a son of the herd, you shall take as a sin offering.
Numbers 8:9	And you shall bring the Levites before the face of the Tent of Meeting, and you shall gather together all the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 8:10	And you shall bring the Levites before the face of YHWH, and the sons of Israel shall lay their hands on the Levites.
Numbers 8:11	And Aaron shall offer the Levites a wave offering before the face of YHWH from the sons of Israel, that they may perform the service of YHWH.
Numbers 8:12	And the Levites shall lay their hands on the heads of the young bulls, and you shall offer the one [for] a sin offering and the one [for] a burnt offering to YHWH, to make atonement upon the Levites.
Numbers 8:13	And you shall stand the Levites before the face of Aaron and his sons, and wave them [as] a wave offering to YHWH.
Numbers 8:14	And you shall separate the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites shall be unto Me.
Numbers 8:15	And after that the Levites shall go in to serve at the Tent of Meeting. And you shall cleanse them and offer them [as] a wave offering.
Numbers 8:16	For they are wholly given to Me from the midst of the sons of Israel. Instead of him who opens every womb—the firstborn of all the sons of Israel—I have taken them for Myself.
Numbers 8:17	For Mine [are] all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, the man and the beast. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I sanctified them to Myself.
Numbers 8:18	And I have taken the Levites instead of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 8:19	And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the work of the sons of Israel in the Tent of Meeting, and to make atonement upon the sons of Israel, and there will be no plague among the sons of Israel at the coming of the sons of Israel to the sanctuary.”
Numbers 8:20	And Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel did to the Levites according to all that YHWH commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so the sons of Israel did to them.
Numbers 8:21	And the Levites cleansed themselves from sin, and they washed their clothes, and Aaron presented them [as] a wave offering before the face of YHWH, and Aaron made atonement upon them to cleanse them.
Numbers 8:22	And after that, the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of Meeting before the face of Aaron and his sons. As YHWH commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.
Numbers 8:23	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 8:24	“This [is] what [is] unto the Levites: From a son of five and twenty years and above, one may enter to perform the service in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 8:25	And from a son of fifty years, they must cease from the host of the service, and shall not serve anymore.
Numbers 8:26	And they may minister with their brothers in the Tent of Meeting to keep the charge, and they shall not do work. Thus you shall do for the Levites in their duties.”
Numbers 9:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses in the Wilderness of Sinai the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
Numbers 9:2	“And let the sons of Israel keep the Passover at its appointed time.
Numbers 9:3	On the fourteenth day of this month, between the evenings, you⁺ shall keep it at its appointed time. According to all its statutes and ordinances you⁺ shall keep it.”
Numbers 9:4	And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, that they should keep the Passover.
Numbers 9:5	And they kept 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 YHWH commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did.
Numbers 9:6	And there were men who were defiled by the body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day. And they came before the face of Moses and Aaron that day.
Numbers 9:7	And those men said to him, “We [are] defiled by the body of a man; why are we restrained from presenting the offering of YHWH at its appointed time in the midst of the sons of Israel?”
Numbers 9:8	And Moses said to them, “Stand still, that I may hear what YHWH commands concerning you⁺.”
Numbers 9:9	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 9:10	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If any man is unclean by a body or on a journey far away from you⁺ or your⁺ posterity, he may still keep the Passover of YHWH.
Numbers 9:11	In the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings they may keep it; with unleavened [bread] and bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Numbers 9:12	They shall leave none of it until morning, and a bone of it they shall not break. According to all the ordinances of the Passover, they shall keep it.
Numbers 9:13	And the man who is clean, and not on a journey, and ceases to keep the Passover, that person shall be cut off from among his people, because he did not bring the offering of YHWH at its appointed time. That man, he shall bear His sin.
Numbers 9:14	And if a sojourner sojourns with you⁺ and would keep the Passover to YHWH, according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he must do; one ordinance you shall have unto you⁺ and unto the sojourner and unto the native of the land.’”
Numbers 9:15	And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the Tent of the Testimony. And from the evening it was above the tabernacle, like the appearance of fire, until morning.
Numbers 9:16	So it was continually: The cloud covered it [by day], then the appearance of fire by night.
Numbers 9:17	And Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle, after that the sons of Israel would journey. And in the place where the cloud settled, there the sons of Israel would encamp.
Numbers 9:18	At the mouth of YHWH the sons of Israel would journey, and at the mouth of YHWH they would camp. All the days that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, they camped.
Numbers 9:19	And when the cloud continued long above the tabernacle many days, the sons of Israel kept the charge of YHWH and did not journey.
Numbers 9:20	And it was, when the cloud was a few days above the tabernacle, according to the command of YHWH, [that] they would remain encamped. And according to the mouth of YHWH they would journey.
Numbers 9:21	And it was, when the cloud remained only from evening until morning, and the cloud was taken up in the morning, [that] they would journey. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud was taken up, they would journey.
Numbers 9:22	Whether [it was] two days or a month or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, remaining over it, the sons of Israel camped and did not journey; and when it was lifted up, they would journey.
Numbers 9:23	At the mouth of YHWH they remained encamped, and at the mouth of YHWH they journeyed; they kept the charge of YHWH, at the mouth of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 10:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 10:2	“Make for yourself two silver trumpets. Of hammered work you shall make them, and you shall make use of them for calling the congregation, and for pulling up the camps.
Numbers 10:3	And they shall blow both of them, and all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 10:4	But if they blow with one, the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.
Numbers 10:5	And you⁺ shall blow a short blast, and the camps that lie on the east side shall set out.
Numbers 10:6	And you⁺ shall blow a second short blast, and the camps that lie on the south side shall set out. A short blast they shall blow to set out.
Numbers 10:7	And in the assembling of the assembly, you⁺ shall blow, and not sound a short blast.
Numbers 10:8	And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you⁺ as an ordinance forever throughout your⁺ generations.
Numbers 10:9	And when you⁺ go into battle in your⁺ land against the adversary who oppresses you⁺, you⁺ shall sound a short blast with the trumpets, and you⁺ will be remembered before the face of YHWH your⁺ God, and you⁺ will be saved from your⁺ enemies.
Numbers 10:10	And in the day of your⁺ gladness, and in your⁺ appointed feasts, and at the beginning of your⁺ months, you⁺ shall blow the trumpets over your⁺ burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your⁺ peace offerings, and they shall be for you⁺ a memorial before the face of your⁺ God. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.”
Numbers 10:11	And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud was taken up from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.
Numbers 10:12	And the sons of Israel set out on their journeys from the Wilderness of Sinai. And the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of Paran.
Numbers 10:13	And they set out at the first according to the mouth of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 10:14	And the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set out at the first, according to their armies, and over their army was Nahshon son of Amminadab.
Numbers 10:15	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Issachar [was] Nethanel son of Zuar.
Numbers 10:16	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun [was] Eliab son of Helon.
Numbers 10:17	And the tabernacle was taken down, and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set out, carrying the tabernacle.
Numbers 10:18	And the standard of the camp of Reuben set out, according to their armies, and over their army [was] Elizur son of Shedeur.
Numbers 10:19	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Simeon [was] Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai.
Numbers 10:20	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Gad [was] Eliasaph son of Deuel.
Numbers 10:21	And the Kohathites set out, carrying the holy things; and the tabernacle was to be prepared for their arrival.
Numbers 10:22	And the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim set out, according to their armies, and over their army [was] Elishama son of Ammihud.
Numbers 10:23	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh [was] Gamaliel son of Pedah-zur.
Numbers 10:24	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin [was] Abidan son of Gideoni.
Numbers 10:25	And the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan set out, the rear guard of all the camps, according to their armies, and over their army [was] Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai.
Numbers 10:26	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Asher [was] Pagiel son of Ocran.
Numbers 10:27	And over the army of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali [was] Ahira son of Enan.
Numbers 10:28	These [were] the order of march of the sons of Israel according to their armies, and they began their journey.
Numbers 10:29	And Moses said to Hobab son of Reuel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses, “We are setting out for the place of which YHWH said, ‘I will give it to you⁺.’ Come with us and we will treat you well, for YHWH has promised good things to Israel.”
Numbers 10:30	And he said to him, “I will not go. But I will depart to my land and to my relatives.”
Numbers 10:31	And [Moses] said, “Please do not leave us, for upon thus you know how we are to camp in the wilderness, and you can be our eyes.
Numbers 10:32	And it shall be, if you go with us, indeed it shall be that whatever good YHWH will do to us, the same we will do to you.”
Numbers 10:33	And they departed from the mountain of YHWH on a journey of three days, and the ark of the covenant of YHWH went before them for the journey three days to search out for them a resting place.
Numbers 10:34	And the cloud of YHWH [was] above them by day, when they set out from the camp.
Numbers 10:35	And it came to pass in the journeying of the ark that Moses said, “Rise up, O YHWH! And let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee from your face.”
Numbers 10:36	And in its resting he said, “Return, O YHWH, [to] the myriads, the thousands of Israel.”
Numbers 11:1	And the people complained of adversity, and it displeased YHWH. For YHWH heard [it], and His anger was kindled. And the fire of YHWH burned among them and consumed [some] in the outskirts of the camp.
Numbers 11:2	And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to YHWH, and the fire was quenched.
Numbers 11:3	And he called the name of that place Taberah, because the fire of YHWH had burned among them.
Numbers 11:4	And the rabble who were among them had yielded to craving, and the sons of Israel also again wept and said, “Who will let us eat flesh?
Numbers 11:5	We remember the fish that we ate in Egypt freely, the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic.
Numbers 11:6	And our soul [is] dried up. [There is] nothing at all, except this manna unto our eyes.”
Numbers 11:7	And the manna was like coriander seed, and its eye was like the eye of of bdellium.
Numbers 11:8	The people went about and gathered [it], and ground [it] on millstones, or beat [it] in the mortar, and cooked [it] in the pan, and made cakes of it. And its taste was like the taste of the pastry of oil.
Numbers 11:9	And in the descending of the dew on the camp by night, the manna fell on it.
Numbers 11:10	And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent, and the anger of YHWH was kindled greatly; and in the eyes of Moses [it was] evil.
Numbers 11:11	And Moses said to YHWH, “Why have You afflicted Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your eyes, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?
Numbers 11:12	Did I conceive all this people? Or did I beget them, that You should say to me, ‘Carry them in your bosom, as a guardian carries a nursing child,’ to the land that You swore to their fathers?
Numbers 11:13	From where to me [is] flesh to give to all this people? For they weep over me, saying, ‘Give us flesh, that we may eat.’
Numbers 11:14	I am not able to bear all this people alone, because [it is] too heavy for me.
Numbers 11:15	And if You treat me like this, kill me, please, right now—if I have found favor in Your eyes—and do not let me see my wretchedness.”
Numbers 11:16	And YHWH said to Moses, “Gather to Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know that they [are] elders of the people and officers over them, and bring them to the Tent of Meeting, that they may stand there with you.
Numbers 11:17	And I will come down and talk with you there, and I will take of the Spirit that [is] upon you, and will put the [same] upon them. And they shall bear with you the burden of the people, that you may not bear [it] yourself alone.
Numbers 11:18	And to the people you shall say, Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you⁺ shall eat flesh, for you⁺ have wept in the ears of YHWH, saying, ‘Who will let us eat flesh, for [it was] well with us in Egypt.’ And YHWH will give to you⁺ flesh, and you⁺ shall eat.
Numbers 11:19	You⁺ shall not eat one day, and not [two] days, and not five days, and not ten days, and not twenty days,
Numbers 11:20	but [for] a month of days, until that it comes out of your⁺ nostrils and becomes loathsome to you⁺, because that you⁺ have despised YHWH who is among you⁺, and you wept before His face, saying, ‘Why [is] this [that] we have come out of Egypt?’”
Numbers 11:21	And Moses said, “[Are] six hundred thousand men on foot, the people whom I [am] among, and You have said, ‘Flesh I will give them, that they may eat [for] a month of days.’
Numbers 11:22	Shall flock and herd be slaughtered for them to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them to provide enough for them?”
Numbers 11:23	And YHWH said to Moses, “Is the arm of YHWH [too] short? Now you shall see if My word will come to pass, or not.”
Numbers 11:24	And Moses went out and spoke to the people the words of YHWH, and he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle.
Numbers 11:25	And YHWH came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that [was] upon him, and placed [it] upon the seventy elders. And it came to pass, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied—and they never did again.
Numbers 11:26	And two men had remained in the camp—the name of one [was] Eldad and the name of the second Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them, and they [were] among those listed who had not gone out to the tabernacle, and they prophesied in the camp.
Numbers 11:27	And the young man ran and told Moses and said, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.”
Numbers 11:28	And Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant from his youth, answered and said, “My lord Moses, restrain them.”
Numbers 11:29	And Moses said to him, “Are you zealous for my sake? If only he would make all people of YHWH prophets, [and] that YHWH would put His Spirit upon them.”
Numbers 11:30	And Moses returned to the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Numbers 11:31	And a wind went out from YHWH, and it brought quail from the sea and left [them] near the camp, about a journey of a day on this side, and about a journey of a day on this side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.
Numbers 11:32	And the people stayed up all that day, and all the night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quail. He who had least gathered ten homers. And they spread [them] out for themselves all around the camp.
Numbers 11:33	The flesh [was] still between their teeth, before it was chewed, and the anger of YHWH was kindled against the people, and YHWH struck the people with a very great plague.
Numbers 11:34	And he called the name of that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved.
Numbers 11:35	From Kibroth-hattaavah the people moved to Hazeroth, and camped at Hazeroth.
Numbers 12:1	And Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses, upon occasion of the Cushite the woman whom he had taken; for he had taken a Cushite woman.
Numbers 12:2	And they said, “Is [it] only indeed through Moses [that] YHWH has spoken? Is [it] not also through us [that] He has spoken?” And YHWH heard [it].
Numbers 12:3	And the man Moses [was] very humble, more than all men who [were] on the face of the earth.
Numbers 12:4	And YHWH said suddenly to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you⁺ three, to the Tent of Meeting.” And the three came out.
Numbers 12:5	And YHWH came down in the pillar of cloud, and stood [in] the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam; and both of them went forward.
Numbers 12:6	And He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you⁺, [I], YHWH, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.
Numbers 12:7	Not so My servant Moses; in all My house He [is] faithful.
Numbers 12:8	I speak with him mouth to mouth, and even plainly and not in riddles; and the form of YHWH he sees. And why were you⁺ not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?”
Numbers 12:9	And the anger of YHWH was kindled against them, and He departed.
Numbers 12:10	And the cloud departed from above the Tent, and behold, Miriam was leprous as snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.
Numbers 12:11	And Aaron said to Moses, “Oh, my lord, please do not lay on us [this] sin, which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.
Numbers 12:12	Please do not let her be as one dead, who in his coming out from the womb of his mother, half of his flesh is consumed.”
Numbers 12:13	And Moses cried out to YHWH, saying, “O God, please, please, heal her.”
Numbers 12:14	And YHWH said to Moses, “And if her father surely had spit in her face, would not she be shamed seven days? Let her be shut seven days outside of the camp, and afterward she may be received.”
Numbers 12:15	And Miriam was shut outside of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey until the bringing in of Miriam.
Numbers 12:16	And afterward the people set out from Hazeroth, and they camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
Numbers 13:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 13:2	“Send men, and they shall spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the sons of Israel. One man—you⁺ shall send one man for the tribe of their fathers, each one a leader among them.”
Numbers 13:3	And Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the mouth of YHWH; all the men were heads of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 13:4	And these [were] their names: From the tribe of Reuben, Shammua son of Zaccur.
Numbers 13:5	From the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat son of Hori.
Numbers 13:6	From the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh.
Numbers 13:7	From the tribe of Issachar, Igal son of Joseph.
Numbers 13:8	From the tribe of Ephraim, Hoshea son of Nun.
Numbers 13:9	From the tribe of Benjamin, Palti son of Raphu.
Numbers 13:10	From the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel son of Sodi.
Numbers 13:11	From a tribe of Joseph (from the tribe of Manasseh), Gaddi son of Susi.
Numbers 13:12	From the tribe of Dan, Ammiel son of Gemalli.
Numbers 13:13	From the tribe of Asher, Sethur son of Michael.
Numbers 13:14	From the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi son of Vophsi.
Numbers 13:15	From the tribe of Gad, Geuel son of Machi.
Numbers 13:16	These [are] the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Hoshea son of Nun Joshua.
Numbers 13:17	And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, “Go up this [way] into the Negev, and go up to the mountain.
Numbers 13:18	And see the land, how it is, and the people dwelling in it, is he strong or weak, is he few or many;
Numbers 13:19	and how is the land in which he is dwelling, is it good or bad; and how are the cities in which he is dwelling, in camps or in fortifications;
Numbers 13:20	and how is the land, is it fat or lean, is there wood in it or not. And be of good courage, and bring some of the fruit of the land.” (And the time [was] the season of the firstfruits of grapes.)
Numbers 13:21	And they went up and spied out the land, from the Wilderness of Zin as far as Rehob, at the going in to Hamath.
Numbers 13:22	And they went up through the Negev and came to Hebron, and there [were] Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai—those born of Anak. And Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.
Numbers 13:23	And they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and there they cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; and [they] also [brought] some of the pomegranates and figs.
Numbers 13:24	That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, on account of the cluster that the men of Israel cut down there.
Numbers 13:25	And they returned from spying out the land at the end of forty days.
Numbers 13:26	And they departed and came back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. And to all the congregation they brought back to them word and showed them the fruit of the land.
Numbers 13:27	And they recounted to him and said, “We went to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey; and this [is] its fruit!
Numbers 13:28	Nevertheless indeed the people who dwell in the land [are] strong, and the cities [are] fortified, [and] very large. And moreover, we saw those born of of Anak there.
Numbers 13:29	The Amalekite dwell in the land of the Negev; and the Hittite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite dwell in the hill country; and the Canaanite dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan.”
Numbers 13:30	And Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us surely go up and take possession of it; for we can certainly prevail in it.”
Numbers 13:31	And the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people; for it [is] stronger than we.”
Numbers 13:32	And they gave a bad report of the land that they had spied out unto the sons of Israel, saying, “The land that we have gone into as spies is a land that devours its dwellers, and all the people whom we saw in its midst [are] men of [great] stature.
Numbers 13:33	And there we saw the Nephilim, the sons of Anak from the Nephilim! And we were in our own sight like grasshoppers; and so we were in their eyes.”
Numbers 14:1	And all the congregation lifted up and gave forth their voices, and the people wept that night.
Numbers 14:2	And all the sons of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt, or if only we had died in this wilderness!
Numbers 14:3	And why has YHWH brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?”
Numbers 14:4	And they said a man to his brother, “Let us set a leader and return to Egypt.”
Numbers 14:5	And Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before the face of all the assembly of the congregation of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 14:6	And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, [who were] among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes,
Numbers 14:7	and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land that we passed through to spy out [is] a very exceedingly good land.
Numbers 14:8	And if YHWH delights in us, He will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey.
Numbers 14:9	Only against YHWH do not rebel—you⁺—nor fear the people of the land, for they [are] our bread. Their protection has departed from them, and YHWH [is] with us. Do not fear them!”
Numbers 14:10	And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the glory of YHWH appeared in the Tent of Meeting before all the sons of Israel.
Numbers 14:11	And YHWH said to Moses, “How long will this people reject Me, and how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs that I have performed among them?
Numbers 14:12	I will strike them with the pestilence and disinherit them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.”
Numbers 14:13	And Moses said to YHWH, “Then the Egyptians will hear [it], for by Your power You brought up this people from among them.
Numbers 14:14	And they will tell to those dwelling in this land [that] they have heard that You, O YHWH, [are] among this people, that eye to eye You are seen, O YHWH, and Your cloud stands above them, and in a pillar of cloud You go before their faces by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Numbers 14:15	And [if] You kill this people as one man, the nations that have heard of Your fame will speak, saying,
Numbers 14:16	‘Because YHWH was not able to bring this people to the land that He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.’
Numbers 14:17	And now, please, let the power of my Lord be great, as You have spoken, saying,
Numbers 14:18	‘YHWH is slow to anger, and abundant in loving devotion, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and He aquits by no means, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the sons on the thirds and on the fourths.’
Numbers 14:19	Pardon, please, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your loving devotion, and as You have forgiven this people from Egypt even until now.”
Numbers 14:20	And YHWH said, “I have pardoned according to your word,
Numbers 14:21	but truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of YHWH;
Numbers 14:22	indeed all these men who have seen My glory and the signs that I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test these ten times and have not heeded My voice,
Numbers 14:23	they shall surely not see the land that I swore to their fathers. And any of those who rejected Me shall not see it.
Numbers 14:24	And My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has fully followed Me, I will bring into the land that he went into, and his seed shall inherit it.
Numbers 14:25	And the Amalekite and the Canaanite are dwelling in the valley; tomorrow turn and move out for yourselves into the wilderness by the Way of the Red Sea.”
Numbers 14:26	And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Numbers 14:27	“How long [do I bear] this evil congregation, they who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they make against Me.
Numbers 14:28	Say to them, as I live, says YHWH, very truly as you⁺ have spoken in My hearing, so will I do to you⁺.
Numbers 14:29	In this wilderness your⁺ corpses shall fall, and all your⁺ numbered, according to your⁺ entire number, from a son of twenty years and above, because you⁺ have grumbled against Me.
Numbers 14:30	By no means shall you⁺ enter into the land, which I lifted up My hand to make you⁺ dwell in it, except for Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.
Numbers 14:31	And your⁺ little ones, whom you⁺ said would be victims, I will bring in, and they shall know the land that you have despised.
Numbers 14:32	And [as for] you⁺, your⁺ carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.
Numbers 14:33	And your⁺ sons shall be shepherds wandering in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear the brunt of your⁺ infidelity, until your⁺ carcasses are consumed in the wilderness.
Numbers 14:34	By the number of the days in which you⁺ spied out the land, forty days—a day for the year, a day for the year—you⁺ shall bear your⁺ guilt forty years, and you⁺ shall know My rejection.
Numbers 14:35	I, YHWH, have spoken. Surely I will do this to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.”
Numbers 14:36	And the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land, and who returned and made complain all the congregation against him by bringing a bad report of the land—
Numbers 14:37	those very men who brought an evil report about the land died by the plague before the face of YHWH.
Numbers 14:38	And Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh remained alive of those men who went to spy out the land.
Numbers 14:39	And Moses told these words to all the sons of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.
Numbers 14:40	And they rose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, “Here we [are], and we will go up to the place that YHWH has promised. For we have sinned.”
Numbers 14:41	And Moses said, “Why [is] this—you⁺ are passing over the mouth of YHWH? For that will not succeed.
Numbers 14:42	Do not go up, for YHWH [is] not among you⁺, lest you⁺ be struck down before the face of your⁺ enemies.
Numbers 14:43	For the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you⁺, and you⁺ shall fall by the sword, for upon thus you⁺ have turned away from YHWH, and YHWH will not be with you⁺.”
Numbers 14:44	And they presumed to go up unto the top of the hill; and neither the ark of the covenant of YHWH, nor Moses, departed from the midst of the camp.
Numbers 14:45	And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who dwelt in that mountain came down and attacked them, and drove them back as far as Hormah.
Numbers 15:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you⁺ enter into the land you⁺ are to inhabit, which I am giving to you⁺,
Numbers 15:3	and you⁺ make a fire offering to YHWH, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering, or in your⁺ appointed feasts, to make a pleasing aroma to YHWH, from the herd or from the flock,
Numbers 15:4	then he who is bringing near his offering to YHWH shall bring a grain offering of fine flour, a tenth [of an ephah], mixed with a fourth of a hin of oil.
Numbers 15:5	And wine as a drink offering, a fourth of a hin you shall prepare with the burnt offering or the sacrifice, for the one lamb.
Numbers 15:6	Or for a ram you shall prepare as a grain offering fine flour, two tenths [of an ephah], mixed with the oil, a third of a hin.
Numbers 15:7	And wine as a drink offering, a third of a hin, you shall offer, a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Numbers 15:8	And when you prepare a son of the herd as a burnt offering, or as a sacrifice to fulfill a vow, or as peace offerings to YHWH,
Numbers 15:9	then shall be offered with a son of the herd a grain offering of fine flour three tenths [of an ephah], mixed with the oil, half a hin.
Numbers 15:10	And you shall bring wine as the drink offering, and half a hin as a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Numbers 15:11	Thus it shall be done for one bull, or for one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or young goat.
Numbers 15:12	By the number that you⁺ prepare, so you⁺ shall do for each one according to their number.
Numbers 15:13	All the native shall do in this manner these things in presenting a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Numbers 15:14	And if a sojourner sojourns with you⁺, or whoever [is] in your⁺ midst throughout your⁺ generations, and he would present a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to YHWH—as you⁺ do, so shall he do.
Numbers 15:15	One ordinance [is] for you⁺ of the assembly and for the sojourner who is sojourning, an everlasting ordinance throughout your⁺ generations. As you⁺ are, shall be as the sojourner before the face of YHWH.
Numbers 15:16	One law and one ordinance shall be for you⁺ and for the sojourner who is sojourning with you⁺.”
Numbers 15:17	And YHWH again spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:18	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you⁺ come into the land to which I bring you⁺,
Numbers 15:19	then it will be that when you⁺ eat of the bread of the land, you⁺ shall offer up a contribution to YHWH.
Numbers 15:20	[From] the first of your⁺ ground meal you⁺ shall offer up a cake [as] a contribution; as a contribution of the threshing floor, so shall you⁺ offer it up.
Numbers 15:21	Of the first of your⁺ ground meal you⁺ shall give to YHWH a contribution throughout your⁺ generations.
Numbers 15:22	And if you⁺ err and do not observe all these commandments that YHWH has spoken to Moses,
Numbers 15:23	all that YHWH has commanded to you⁺ by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH commanded and onward throughout your⁺ generations—
Numbers 15:24	then it will be, if away from the eyes of the congregation it is committed in error, that all the congregation shall offer one bull, a son of the herd, as a burnt offering, for a pleasing aroma to YHWH, and with its grain offering and its drink offering according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
Numbers 15:25	And the priest shall make atonement upon the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven for them, for it [was] an error. And they shall bring their offerings, a fire offering to YHWH, and their sin offering, before the face of YHWH for their error.
Numbers 15:26	And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, because all the people [did it] in error.
Numbers 15:27	And if one person sins in error, he shall bring a female goat, a daughter of a year, as a sin offering.
Numbers 15:28	And the priest shall make atonement upon the soul, the one who is erring when he sins in error before the face of YHWH, to make atonement upon him, and it shall be forgiven for him.
Numbers 15:29	The native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, there shall be one law for you⁺, for the one who sins in error.
Numbers 15:30	And the soul who does beguile by hand, from the native and from the sojourner, he reviles YHWH; that person shall be cut off from among his people.
Numbers 15:31	Because he has despised the word of YHWH and has broken His commandment, that person shall surely be cut off; his guilt [is] upon him.”
Numbers 15:32	And while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
Numbers 15:33	And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation.
Numbers 15:34	And they put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him.
Numbers 15:35	And YHWH said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”
Numbers 15:36	And all the congregation brought him to the outside of the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Numbers 15:37	And YHWH again spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 15:38	“Speak to the sons of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put in the tassels of the corners a blue thread.
Numbers 15:39	And you⁺ shall have the tassel, that you⁺ may look upon it and remember all the commandments of YHWH and do them, and that you⁺ do not follow after your⁺ own heart and your⁺ own eyes, after them to which you⁺ are inclined to prostitute yourselves.
Numbers 15:40	Then you⁺ will remember and do all My commandments, and you⁺ shall be holy unto your⁺ God.
Numbers 15:41	I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, who brought you⁺ out of the land of Egypt to be your⁺ God; I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.”
Numbers 16:1	And Korah, son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, took both Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—the sons of Reuben,
Numbers 16:2	and they rose up before the face of Moses with men of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown.
Numbers 16:3	And they gathered together against Moses and Aaron and said to them, “[It is] too much upon yourselves! For all the congregation, everyone of them, [is] holy, and YHWH [is] in their midst. And why do you⁺ exalt yourselves above the assembly of YHWH?”
Numbers 16:4	And Moses heard [it], and he fell on his face.
Numbers 16:5	And he spoke to Korah and to all his company, saying, “In the morning YHWH will show who [is] unto Him and [who is] holy, and He will bring him near to Himself. And that one whom He chooses He will bring near to Himself.
Numbers 16:6	Do this: Take to you⁺ firepans, Korah and all your company,
Numbers 16:7	and put fire in them and put incense in them before the face of YHWH tomorrow. And it shall be [that] the man whom YHWH chooses is the holy one. [You take] too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!”
Numbers 16:8	And Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, sons of Levi,
Numbers 16:9	[is it] a small thing to you⁺ that the God of Israel has separated you⁺ from the congregation of Israel, to bring you⁺ near to Himself to do the work of the tabernacle of YHWH and to stand before the face of the congregation to serve them?
Numbers 16:10	And He has brought near [to Himself] you and all your brothers, the sons of Levi with you—and you⁺ are seeking also the priesthood!
Numbers 16:11	Therefore you and all your company [are] gathered together against YHWH! And Aaron, what [is] he that you⁺ complain against him?”
Numbers 16:12	And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. And they said, “We will not come up!
Numbers 16:13	[Is it] a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you should keep acting also a prince over us?
Numbers 16:14	Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given to us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of those men? We will not come up!”
Numbers 16:15	And Moses was very hot, and he said to YHWH, “Turn not to their offerings. Not one donkey from them have I taken, nor have I hurt one of them.”
Numbers 16:16	And Moses said to Korah, “You and all your company, be present before the face of YHWH, you and they and Aaron tomorrow,
Numbers 16:17	and let each take his firepan and put incense in it, and each of you bring his firepan before the face of YHWH, two hundred and fifty firepans—and you and Aaron, each [with] his firepan.”
Numbers 16:18	And every man took his firepan, and put in it fire, and laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the Tent of Meeting with Moses and Aaron.
Numbers 16:19	And Korah gathered against them all the assembly at the door of the Tent of Meeting. And the glory of YHWH appeared to all the congregation.
Numbers 16:20	And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Numbers 16:21	“Separate yourselves from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.”
Numbers 16:22	And they fell on their faces and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, the one man sins, and are You angry with all the congregation?”
Numbers 16:23	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:24	“Speak to the congregation, saying, ‘Get away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.’”
Numbers 16:25	And Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.
Numbers 16:26	And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart now from the tents of these wicked men, and do not touch anything that [is] unto them, lest you⁺ be consumed in all their sins.”
Numbers 16:27	And they got away from around the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, from all around. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents—and their wives, and their sons, and their infants.
Numbers 16:28	And Moses said, “By this you⁺ shall know that YHWH has sent me to do all these works; for [they are] not from my own heart.
Numbers 16:29	If like the death of every man these ones die, or if the common fate of all men is visited upon them, [then] YHWH has not sent me.
Numbers 16:30	But if YHWH creates a new thing, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them and all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the pit, then you⁺ will know that these men have spurned YHWH.”
Numbers 16:31	And it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground that [was] under them split apart,
Numbers 16:32	and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that [were] with Korah, and all the goods.
Numbers 16:33	And they went down—they and all those with them—alive into the pit, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly.
Numbers 16:34	And all Israel who [were] around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us.”
Numbers 16:35	And a fire came out from YHWH and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.
Numbers 16:36	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:37	“Speak to Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, and he shall lift up the firepans out of the blaze and the fire to scatter some distance away, for they are holy.
Numbers 16:38	[As for] the censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, because they presented them before the face of YHWH, and they are holy; and they shall be a sign to the sons of Israel.”
Numbers 16:39	And Eleazar the priest took the bronze firepans that the burned ones had presented, and they were hammered out as a covering on the altar,
Numbers 16:40	a memorial to the sons of Israel, so that a son of a foreigner who is not a descendant of Aaron should not come near to offer incense before the face of YHWH, that he might not become like Korah and his companions, as YHWH had said to him by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 16:41	And all the congregation of the sons of Israel murmured on the next day against Moses and Aaron, saying, “You⁺ have killed the people of YHWH.”
Numbers 16:42	And it came to pass, when the congregation had gathered against Moses and Aaron, that they turned toward the Tent of Meeting, and behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of YHWH appeared.
Numbers 16:43	And Moses and Aaron came to the face of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 16:44	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 16:45	“Get away from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces.
Numbers 16:46	And Moses said to Aaron, “Take the firepan, and put on it fire from the altar, and set [on it] incense, and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement upon them. For the wrath has gone out from before the face of YHWH—the plague has begun.”
Numbers 16:47	And Aaron took it as Moses commanded, and he ran into the midst of the assembly; and behold, the plague had begun among the people. And he put in the incense and made atonement upon the people.
Numbers 16:48	And he stood between the dead and between the living; and the plague was stopped.
Numbers 16:49	And those who died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, besides those who died on account of Korah.
Numbers 16:50	And Aaron returned to Moses at the door of the Tent of Meeting, for the plague had stopped.
Numbers 17:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 17:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a staff, a rod from each house of a father, all their leaders according to the house of their father, twelve rods. You shall write the name of each man on his rod.
Numbers 17:3	And you shall write the name of Aaron on the rod of Levi, for there shall be one rod is for the head the house of of their fathers.
Numbers 17:4	And you shall place them in the Tent of Meeting before the face of the Testimony, where I meet with you⁺.
Numbers 17:5	And it shall come to pass [that] the rod of the man whom I choose, it will blossom. And I will rid Myself of the complaints of the sons of Israel, which they make against you⁺.”
Numbers 17:6	And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and each of their leaders gave to him one rod for a leader, one apiece for a leader, according to the houses of their fathers—twelve rods—and the rod of Aaron [was] in the midst of their rods.
Numbers 17:7	And Moses placed the rods before the face of YHWH in the Tent of the Testimony.
Numbers 17:8	And it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron had sprouted for the house of Levi and put forth buds and produced blossoms and yielded almonds.
Numbers 17:9	And Moses brought out all the rods from before YHWH to all the sons of Israel, and they looked, and each man took his rod.
Numbers 17:10	And YHWH said to Moses, “Bring back the rod of Aaron before the face of the Testimony, to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put away their complaints against Me, lest they die.”
Numbers 17:11	And Moses did as YHWH had commanded him; so he did.
Numbers 17:12	And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Behold, we have expired, we have perished, all of us have perished.
Numbers 17:13	Whoever [is] at all drawing near unto the tabernacle of YHWH, he must die. Shall we all utterly die?”
Numbers 18:1	And YHWH said to Aaron, “You and your sons and the house of your father with you shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary, and you and your sons with you shall bear the iniquity of your⁺ priesthood.
Numbers 18:2	And bring your brothers of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of your father, near with you, that they may be joined with you and serve you while you and your sons [are] with you before the Tent of the Testimony.
Numbers 18:3	And they shall attend to your needs and the needs of all the tabernacle. However, to the articles of the sanctuary and the altar they shall not come near, lest they die—both they and also you⁺.
Numbers 18:4	And they shall be joined with you and attend to the needs of the Tent of Meeting for all the work of the tabernacle; and an outsider may not come near to you⁺.
Numbers 18:5	And you⁺ shall attend to the duties of the sanctuary and the duties of the altar, that there be no more wrath on the sons of Israel.
Numbers 18:6	And I, behold, I have taken your⁺ brothers the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel; to you⁺ [they are] a gift given by YHWH to do the work of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 18:7	Therefore you and your sons with you shall attend to your⁺ priesthood for everything concerning the altar and behind the veil, and you⁺ shall serve. I give [to you] your⁺ priesthood as a service for a gift, and the outsider who comes near shall be put to death.”
Numbers 18:8	And YHWH spoke to Aaron: “And I, behold, I have given you charge of My contributions. All the holy gifts of the sons of Israel to you I have given as a portion, and to your sons, as an ordinance forever.
Numbers 18:9	This shall be yours from the holy of holies, from the fire: All their offerings, all grain offerings, and all sin offerings, and all guilt offerings, which they render to Me, it [is] holy of holies to you and to your sons.
Numbers 18:10	In the holy of holies you shall eat it; every male shall eat it. It shall be holy to you.
Numbers 18:11	And this [is] yours: The contribution of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as an everlasting ordinance. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.
Numbers 18:12	All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine and the grain, their firstfruits that they offer to YHWH, I have given them to you.
Numbers 18:13	The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they bring to YHWH, shall be unto you. Everyone who is clean in your house may eat it.
Numbers 18:14	Every devoted thing in Israel shall be unto you.
Numbers 18:15	Everything opening the womb of all flesh, which they bring to YHWH, whether the man or the beast, shall be yours. Nevertheless you must surely redeem the firstborn of the man, and the firstborn of the unclean animals you shall redeem.
Numbers 18:16	And their ransomed ones from a son of a month, you shall redeem according to your valuation for silver, five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; it [is] twenty gerahs.
Numbers 18:17	But the firstborn of a cow or the firstborn of a sheep or the firstborn of a goat you shall not redeem; they [are] holy. Their blood you shall sprinkle on the altar, and their fat you shall burn [as] a fire offering, for a pleasing aroma to YHWH.
Numbers 18:18	And their flesh shall be unto you, as the breast of the wave offering and the right thigh are unto you.
Numbers 18:19	All the contributions of the holy things, which the sons of Israel offer to YHWH, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as an everlasting statute. It [is] an everlasting covenant of salt before the face of YHWH with you and your seed with you.”
Numbers 18:20	And YHWH said to Aaron, “You shall not inherit in their land, and you shall not have any portion in their midst. I [am] your portion and your inheritance in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 18:21	And the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance, in return for the work that they perform, the service of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 18:22	And hereafter the sons of Israel shall not come near to the Tent of Meeting, lest they bear sin and die.
Numbers 18:23	And the Levite, he shall perform the work of the Tent of Meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity. [It shall be] a statute forever throughout your⁺ generations, and in the midst of the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers 18:24	For the tithes of the sons of Israel, which they offer up to YHWH [as] a contribution, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance. Upon thus I have said to them: In the midst of the sons of Israel they shall not have an inheritance.”
Numbers 18:25	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 18:26	“And to the Levites speak and say to them, ‘When you⁺ take from the sons of Israel the tithes that I have given to you⁺ from them as your⁺ inheritance, you⁺ shall offer up from it a contribution to YHWH, a tenth of the tithe.
Numbers 18:27	And your⁺ contributions shall be reckoned to you⁺ as though [it were] the grain of the threshing floor, and as the fullness of the winepress.
Numbers 18:28	Thus you⁺ shall lift up—you⁺ also—a contribution to YHWH from all your⁺ tithes that you⁺ receive from the sons of Israel. And you⁺ shall give from it the contribution of YHWH to Aaron the priest.
Numbers 18:29	Of all your⁺ gifts you⁺ shall lift up every contribution of YHWH, from all its fat, its holy part from it.’
Numbers 18:30	And you shall say to them, ‘In your⁺ lifting up its fat, from it then it shall be reckoned to the Levites as the produce of the threshing floor, and as the produce of the winepress.
Numbers 18:31	And You⁺ may eat it in any place, you⁺ and your⁺ house, for it [is] a reward to you⁺ for your⁺ work in the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 18:32	And you⁺ shall not bear sin because of it, when you⁺ have lifted up its fat from it, and the holy gifts of the sons of Israel you⁺ shall not defile, lest you⁺ die.’”
Numbers 19:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Numbers 19:2	“This [is] the ordinance of the law that YHWH has commanded, saying, speak to the sons of Israel, and they shall bring to you an unblemished red heifer, in which there [is] no blemish, upon which a yoke never has gone up.
Numbers 19:3	And you⁺ shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and he shall bring it out toward the outside of the camp, and it shall be slaughtered before him.
Numbers 19:4	And Eleazar the priest shall take [some] of its blood with his finger and sprinkle toward opposite the face of the Tent of Meeting [some] of its blood seven times.
Numbers 19:5	And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes—its hide and its flesh and its blood and its dung shall be burned.
Numbers 19:6	And the priest shall take cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet and cast [them] into the midst of the burning heifer.
Numbers 19:7	And the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in the water, and afterward he shall come into the camp; and the priest shall be unclean until the evening.
Numbers 19:8	And the one who burns it shall wash his clothes in the water and bathe his flesh in the water, and shall be unclean until the evening.
Numbers 19:9	And a man [who is] clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and store [them] outside of the camp in a clean place, and they shall be kept for the congregation of the sons of Israel for the water of purification; it [is] for purifying from sin.
Numbers 19:10	And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes and be unclean until the evening. And it shall be a statute forever for the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst.
Numbers 19:11	And He who touches against the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:12	He shall cleanse himself from sin with the water on the third day, and on the seventh day he will be clean. But if he does not cleanse himself from sin on the third day, and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.
Numbers 19:13	Anyone who touches the dead body of a man who has died, and does not cleanse himself from sin, he defiles the tabernacle of YHWH, and that person shall be cut off from Israel because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him. He shall be unclean; his uncleanness [is] on him still.
Numbers 19:14	This [is] the law [of] the man when he dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who [are] in the tent shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:15	And every open vessel that has no cover fastened on it is unclean.
Numbers 19:16	And whoever touches in the open field one who is slain by a sword or who has died, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers 19:17	And they shall take for the unclean some of the ashes of the burning for sin, and shall be put on them living water in a vessel.
Numbers 19:18	And a man who is ceremonially clean shall take hyssop and dip [it] in the water and sprinkle [it] on the tent and on all the vessels and on the persons who were there, or on the one who touched against a bone, or against the slain, or against the dead, or against a grave.
Numbers 19:19	And the clean one shall sprinkle it on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and he shall cleanse him from sin on the seventh day and wash his clothes and bathe in the water, and he shall be clean at the evening.
Numbers 19:20	And the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself from sin, that person shall be cut off from the midst of the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of YHWH. The water of purification has not been sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.
Numbers 19:21	And it shall be for them an everlasting statute. He who sprinkles the water of purification shall wash his clothes, and he who touches the water of purification shall be unclean until the evening.
Numbers 19:22	And whatever the unclean one touches in it shall be unclean, and the person who touches [it] shall be unclean until the evening.”
Numbers 20:1	And the sons of Israel came, all the congregation, into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh. And Miriam died there and was buried there.
Numbers 20:2	And there was no water for the congregation, and they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.
Numbers 20:3	And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying, “And if only we had utterly perished [with] our brothers before the face of YHWH!
Numbers 20:4	And why have you⁺ brought up the assembly of YHWH into this wilderness to die here—we and our livestock?
Numbers 20:5	And why have you⁺ made us come up out of Egypt to bring us to this evil place? It [is] not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.”
Numbers 20:6	And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of YHWH appeared to them.
Numbers 20:7	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 20:8	“Take the rod and gather together the congregation, you and Aaron your brother, and speak to the rock before their eyes; and it will yield its water. And you shall bring for them water from the rock and give drink to the congregation and their livestock.”
Numbers 20:9	And Moses took the rod from before YHWH, as He had commanded him.
Numbers 20:10	And Moses and Aaron gathered together the assembly to the face of the rock, and he said to them, “Hear now, [you] rebels; shall we bring forth for you⁺ water from this rock?”
Numbers 20:11	And Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock with his rod twice. And abundant water came out, and the congregation drank, and their livestock.
Numbers 20:12	And YHWH said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you⁺ did not believe Me, to show My holiness in the eyes of the sons of Israel, therefore you⁺ shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”
Numbers 20:13	Those [were] the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with YHWH, and He was consecrated among them.
Numbers 20:14	And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom, “Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that has found us,
Numbers 20:15	and how our fathers went down to Egypt, and we dwelt in Egypt a long time. And Egypt afflicted us and our fathers,
Numbers 20:16	and we cried out to YHWH, and He heard our voice and sent an angel and brought us up out of Egypt. And here we [are] in Kadesh, a city on the edge of your border.
Numbers 20:17	Let us pass, please, through your country. We will not pass through fields or vineyards, nor will we drink the water of a well. We will go along the Highway of the King; we will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left until that we have passed through your territory.”
Numbers 20:18	And Edom said to him, “You shall not pass through my [land], lest I come out against you with the sword.”
Numbers 20:19	And the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go on the highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, I will give their price. Only nothing more—let me pass through on foot.”
Numbers 20:20	And he said, “You shall not pass through.” And Edom came out against them with many men and with a mighty hand.
Numbers 20:21	And Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory, and Israel turned away from him.
Numbers 20:22	And the sons of Israel, all the congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor.
Numbers 20:23	And YHWH spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor, by the border of the land of Edom, saying,
Numbers 20:24	“Aaron shall be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter into the land that I have given to the sons of Israel, upon that you⁺ rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah.
Numbers 20:25	Take Aaron and Eleazar his son and bring them up to Mount Hor.
Numbers 20:26	And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered and die there.”
Numbers 20:27	And Moses did as YHWH had commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor before the eyes of all the congregation.
Numbers 20:28	And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son. And Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. And Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.
Numbers 20:29	And all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, and they mourned for Aaron thirty days—all the house of Israel.
Numbers 21:1	And the Canaanite, the king of Arad who dwelt in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming on the road of the Atharim; and he fought against Israel and took [some] of them captive.
Numbers 21:2	And Israel made a vow to YHWH, and said, “If You will fully deliver this people into my hand, then I will devote to destruction their cities.”
Numbers 21:3	And YHWH listened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanite. And they devoted to destruction them and their cities. And the name of the place was called Hormah.
Numbers 21:4	And they journeyed from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom. And the soul of the people was short on the way.
Numbers 21:5	And the people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you⁺ brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For [there is] no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”
Numbers 21:6	And YHWH sent among the people fiery serpents, and they bit the people; and many people of Israel died.
Numbers 21:7	And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against YHWH and against you. Pray to YHWH, that He take away from us the serpents.” And Moses prayed for the people.
Numbers 21:8	And YHWH said to Moses, “Make for yourself a fiery serpent and set it on a pole; and it shall come to pass [that] anyone who is bitten, and he looks at it, he shall live.”
Numbers 21:9	And Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on a pole. And it came to pass [that], if a serpent had bitten anyone, and he looked unto the bronze serpent, he lived.
Numbers 21:10	And the sons of Israel set out and camped in Oboth.
Numbers 21:11	And they set out from Oboth and camped at Iye-abarim, in the wilderness that [is] east of Moab toward the sunrise.
Numbers 21:12	From there they set out and camped in the Valley of Zered.
Numbers 21:13	From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which [is] in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorite. For the Arnon [is] the border of Moab, between Moab and between the Amorite.
Numbers 21:14	Upon thus it is said in the Book of the Wars of YHWH: “Waheb in Suphah, and the brooks of the Arnon,
Numbers 21:15	and the slope of the brooks that reaches to the dwelling of Ar and lies on the border of Moab.”
Numbers 21:16	And from there [they went] to Beer; it [is] the well where YHWH said to Moses, “Gather together the people and I will give them water.”
Numbers 21:17	Then Israel sang this song: “Spring up, O well, all of you sing to it.
Numbers 21:18	The princes dug the well, the nobles of the nation hollowed it out by the lawgiver, by their staffs.” And from the wilderness [they went] to Mattanah,
Numbers 21:19	and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth,
Numbers 21:20	and from Bamoth [in] the valley that [is] in the country of Moab to the top of Pisgah, which looks toward the face of Jeshimon.
Numbers 21:21	And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, saying,
Numbers 21:22	“Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard; we will not drink the water of a well. By the Highway of the King we will go, until that we have passed through your territory.”
Numbers 21:23	And Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. And Sihon gathered together all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.
Numbers 21:24	And Israel defeated him by the mouth of the sword and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the sons of Ammon; for the border of the sons of Ammon [was] strong.
Numbers 21:25	And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorite, in Heshbon, and in all its villages.
Numbers 21:26	For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorite, and he had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.
Numbers 21:27	Upon thus the speakers of proverbs say: “Come to Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and be repaired.
Numbers 21:28	For fire went out from Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon. It consumed Ar of Moab, the lords of the heights of the Arnon.
Numbers 21:29	Woe to you, O Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to a king of the Amorite, Sihon.
Numbers 21:30	And we have shot at them; has perished Heshbon as far as Dibon. And we laid waste as far as Nophah, which [is] as far as Medeba.”
Numbers 21:31	And Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorite.
Numbers 21:32	And Moses sent to spy out Jazer, and they took its villages and drove out the Amorite who [was] there.
Numbers 21:33	And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan; and Og king of Bashan went out against them—he and all his people—to battle at Edrei.
Numbers 21:34	And YHWH said to Moses, “Fear him not, for into your hand I have delivered him and all his people and his land. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt at Heshbon.”
Numbers 21:35	And they defeated him and his sons and all his people, until there was left to him no survivor. And they took possession of his land.
Numbers 22:1	And the sons of Israel set out and camped in the plains of Moab across the Jordan [from] Jericho.
Numbers 22:2	And Balak son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorite,
Numbers 22:3	and Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people, because [they] were numerous. And Moab was sick with dread because of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 22:4	And Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the green of the field.” And Balak son of Zippor [was] king of the Moabites at that time.
Numbers 22:5	And he sent messengers to Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, which [is] near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, “Behold, a people has come from Egypt. Behold, he has covered the eye of the land, and he is dwelling next to me.”
Numbers 22:6	And now, come please, curse for me this people, for [they] are too mighty for me. Perhaps I will be able to strike them and drive them out of the land. For I know that whom you bless is blessed, and whom you curse is cursed.”
Numbers 22:7	And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the diviner’s fee in their hands. And they came to Balaam and spoke to him the words of Balak.
Numbers 22:8	And he said to them, “Lodge here the night, and I will bring back to you⁺ word as YHWH speaks to me.” And the princes of Moab stayed with Balaam.
Numbers 22:9	And God came to Balaam and said, “Who [are] these men with you?”
Numbers 22:10	And Balaam said to God, “Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent to me:
Numbers 22:11	‘Behold, a people has come out of Egypt, and have covered the eye of the land. Now come, curse them for me. Perhaps I will be able to overpower them and drive them out.’”
Numbers 22:12	And God said to Balaam, “You shall not go with them. You shall not curse the people, for it [is] blessed.”
Numbers 22:13	And Balaam rose in the morning and said to the princes of Balak, “Go back to your⁺ land, for YHWH has refused to give me permission to go with you⁺.”
Numbers 22:14	And the princes of Moab rose and went to Balak and said, “Balaam refuses to come with us.”
Numbers 22:15	And Balak yet added to send princes, more numerous and more honorable than these.
Numbers 22:16	And they came to Balaam and said to him, “Thus says Balak son of Zippor: ‘Please let nothing hinder you from coming to me.
Numbers 22:17	For I will very greatly honor you, and whatever you say to me, I will do. Therefore come, please, curse for me this people.’”
Numbers 22:18	And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, “Though Balak were to give to me the fullness of his house [in] silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of YHWH my God to do less or more.
Numbers 22:19	And now stay, please, in this [place] you⁺ also tonight, that I may know what more YHWH will speak to me.”
Numbers 22:20	And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, “If the men have come to call you, rise [and] go with them. And only the word that I speak to you, that shall you do.”
Numbers 22:21	And Balaam rose in the morning and saddled his donkey and went with the princes of Moab.
Numbers 22:22	And the anger of God was kindled because he went, and the angel of YHWH took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and two of his servants with him.
Numbers 22:23	And the donkey saw the angel of YHWH standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. And Balaam struck the donkey to return her to the road.
Numbers 22:24	And the angel of YHWH stood in a narrow passage of the vineyards, [with] a wall on this [side] and a wall on that [side].
Numbers 22:25	And the donkey saw the angel of YHWH, and she pushed herself against the wall and crushed the foot of Balaam against the wall, and again he struck her.
Numbers 22:26	And the angel of YHWH added to pass over and stood in a narrow place, where there [was] no way to turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Numbers 22:27	And the donkey saw the angel of YHWH, and she lay down under Balaam. And the anger of Balaam was kindled, and he struck the donkey with his staff.
Numbers 22:28	And YHWH opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you that you have struck me these three times?”
Numbers 22:29	And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have acted mockingly with me! Oh, I wish a sword [were] in my hand, for now I would kill you!”
Numbers 22:30	And the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden always until this day? Have I at all been accustomed to do to you, [acting] this [way]?” And he said, “No.”
Numbers 22:31	And YHWH opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of YHWH standing in the way, and his drawn sword in his hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.
Numbers 22:32	And the angel of YHWH said to him, “On account of what have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out to stand against you, because [your] way is perverse before me.
Numbers 22:33	And the donkey saw Me and turned aside before my face these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, surely by now I would also have killed you and let her live.”
Numbers 22:34	And Balaam said to the angel of YHWH, “I have sinned, for I did not know that you stood against me in the road. And now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will turn back by myself.”
Numbers 22:35	And the angel of YHWH said to Balaam, “Go with the men, and only the word that I speak to you shall you speak.” And Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Numbers 22:36	And Balak heard that Balaam was coming, and he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which [is] on the border of Arnon, which [is] the boundary of the territory.
Numbers 22:37	And Balak said to Balaam, “Was [it] not [that] I earnestly sent to you to call for you? Why did you not come to me? [Am] I not truly able to honor you?”
Numbers 22:38	And Balaam said to Balak, “Behold, I have come to you; now am I able at all to say anything? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I must speak.”
Numbers 22:39	And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.
Numbers 22:40	And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and he sent [some] to Balaam and to the princes who [were] with him.
Numbers 22:41	And it was the next day that Balak took Balaam and brought him up into Bamoth-baal, that he might observe from there the extremity of the people.
Numbers 23:1	And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and prepare for me in this [place] seven bulls and seven rams.”
Numbers 23:2	And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Numbers 23:3	And Balaam said to Balak, “Stand by your burnt offering, and I will go. Perhaps YHWH will come to meet me, and the word of what he shows me I will tell to you.” And he went to a barren height.
Numbers 23:4	And God met with Balaam, and he said to Him, “Seven altars I have prepared, and I have offered a bull and a ram on each altar.”
Numbers 23:5	And YHWH put a word in the mouth of Balaam and said, “Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
Numbers 23:6	And he returned to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt offering, he and all the princes of Moab.
Numbers 23:7	And he lifted up his oracle and said, “Balak has brought me from Aram, the king of Moab, from the mountains of the east: ‘Come, curse Jacob for me, and come, denounce Israel.’
Numbers 23:8	How shall I curse [those whom] God has not cursed, and how shall I denounce [those whom] YHWH has not denounced?
Numbers 23:9	For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him. Behold, a people dwelling apart, and among the nations not reckoning itself.
Numbers 23:10	Who can count the dust of Jacob, and number a fourth of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!”
Numbers 23:11	And Balak said to Balaam, “What have you done to me? To curse my enemies I took you, and behold, you have surely blessed them.”
Numbers 23:12	And he answered and said, “What YHWH has put in my mouth, is [it] not [that] I must guard [myself] to speak?”
Numbers 23:13	And Balak said to him, “Come, please, with me, to another place from that you may see them. Only the outer part of them you shall see, and you shall not see them all. And curse them for me from there.”
Numbers 23:14	And he brought him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Numbers 23:15	And he said to Balak, “Stand here by your burnt offering, and I meet [Him] over there.”
Numbers 23:16	And YHWH met with Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, “Go back to Balak, and thus you shall speak.”
Numbers 23:17	And he came to him, and behold, he is standing by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, “What has YHWH spoken?”
Numbers 23:18	And he lifted up his oracle and said, “Rise up, O Balak, and hear; give ear to me, O son of Zippor!
Numbers 23:19	God [is] not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and He will not do? Or has He spoken, and He will not fulfill?
Numbers 23:20	Behold, to bless I have received; and He has blessed, and I can reverse it not.
Numbers 23:21	He has observed no iniquity in Jacob, nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. YHWH his God [is] with him, and the shout of a King [is] among them.
Numbers 23:22	God brings them out of Egypt; strength like a wild ox He has.
Numbers 23:23	For [there is] no sorcery against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. Now it must be said of Jacob and of Israel, ‘What God has done!’
Numbers 23:24	Look, a people like a lioness rises, and like a lion lifts itself up. It shall not lie down until it devours the prey and drinks the blood of the slain.”
Numbers 23:25	And Balak said to Balaam, “Indeed neither curse them at all, nor indeed bless them at all.”
Numbers 23:26	And Balaam answered and said to Balak, “Did not I speak to you, saying, all that YHWH speaks, that [is what] I must do?”
Numbers 23:27	And Balak said to Balaam, “Come, please, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will please the eye of God that you may curse them for me from there.”
Numbers 23:28	And Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, that overlooks toward the face of Jeshimon.
Numbers 23:29	And Balaam said to Balak, “Build for me in this [place] seven altars, and prepare for me in this [place] seven bulls and seven rams.”
Numbers 23:30	And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.
Numbers 24:1	And Balaam saw that it was good in the eyes of YHWH to bless Israel, and he did not go as time by time to seek to use sorcery, and he set his face toward the wilderness.
Numbers 24:2	And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes, and the Spirit of God came upon him.
Numbers 24:3	And he lifted up his oracle and said: “An utterance of Balaam son of Beor, and a declaration of the man whose eyes are opened.
Numbers 24:4	An utterance of him who hears the words of God, who sees a vision of Shaddai, and who falls down with eyes wide open.
Numbers 24:5	How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, Your dwellings, O Israel!
Numbers 24:6	Like valleys that stretch out, like gardens by the river, like aloes planted by YHWH, like cedars beside the waters.
Numbers 24:7	He shall pour water from his buckets, and his seed [is] abundant in waters. And his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
Numbers 24:8	God brings him out of Egypt; strength like a wild ox [is] unto him. He shall consume his enemies the nations, and their bones he shall break, and pierce [them] with his arrows.
Numbers 24:9	He crouches, he lies down like a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him? He who blesses you is blessed and he who curses you is cursed.”
Numbers 24:10	And the anger of Balak was kindled against Balaam, and he struck together his hands. And Balak said to Balaam, “I called you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have surely blessed [them] these three times.
Numbers 24:11	And now flee for yourself to your place! I said I would richly reward you, and in fact YHWH has kept you back from honor.”
Numbers 24:12	And Balaam said to Balak, “Was [it] not even to your messengers whom you sent to me [that] I spoke, saying
Numbers 24:13	[that] if Balak were to give to me the fullness of his house in silver and gold, I could not go beyond the word of YHWH to do good or bad of my own will? That which YHWH says, that I must speak.
Numbers 24:14	And indeed I am going to my people; come, I will counsel you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.”
Numbers 24:15	And he lifted up his oracle and said, “An utterance of Balaam son of Beor and a declaration of the man [with] opened eyes,
Numbers 24:16	a declaration of him who hears the words of God and has the knowledge of the Most High; the vision of Shaddai he sees, falling down and eyes wide open.
Numbers 24:17	I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star shall come out of Jacob and a scepter shall rise out of Israel, and batter the brow of Moab and destroy all the sons of tumult.
Numbers 24:18	And Edom shall be a possession, and Seir shall be a possession [for] his enemies, and Israel will act valiantly.
Numbers 24:19	And one shall have dominion out of Jacob and destroy the remains of the city.”
Numbers 24:20	And he saw Amalek, and he lifted up his oracle and said, “Amalek [was] first among the nations, and [his] end [is] utter destruction.”
Numbers 24:21	And he looked on the Kenite, and he lifted up his oracle and said, “Enduring is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock.
Numbers 24:22	For nevertheless the Kenite shall be for burning, until when Asshur will take you captive.”
Numbers 24:23	And he lifted up his oracle and said, “Alas, who shall live when God does this?
Numbers 24:24	And ships [shall come] from the hand of Kittim, and they shall afflict Asshur and afflict Eber, and he [is] for utter destruction.”
Numbers 24:25	And Balaam rose and departed and returned to his place, and Balak also went his way.
Numbers 25:1	And Israel remained in Shittim, and the people began to prostitute themselves with the daughters of Moab.
Numbers 25:2	And they invited the people to the sacrifices of their gods, and the people ate and bowed down to their gods.
Numbers 25:3	And Israel was joined to Baal of Peor, and the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel.
Numbers 25:4	And YHWH said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of the people, and hang the offenders before YHWH out in the sun, that the burning of the nose of YHWH may turn away from Israel.”
Numbers 25:5	And Moses said to the judges of Israel, “Each man must kill his men who were joined to Baal of Peor.”
Numbers 25:6	And indeed, one of the sons of Israel came and presented to his brothers a Midianitess before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and they [were] weeping at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Numbers 25:7	And Phinehas son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, saw [it], and he rose from the midst of the congregation, and he took a spear in his hand,
Numbers 25:8	and he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust through the two of them, the man of Israel and the woman—through her body. And the plague was stopped among the sons of Israel.
Numbers 25:9	And those who died in the plague were four and twenty thousand.
Numbers 25:10	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 25:11	“Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the sons of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal in their midst, so that I did not consume the sons of Israel in My zeal.
Numbers 25:12	Therefore say, behold, I give to him My covenant of peace.
Numbers 25:13	And it shall be to him and his seed after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, upon that he was zealous for his God and made atonement upon the sons of Israel.”
Numbers 25:14	And the name of the man of Israel who was killed, who was killed with the Midianitess, [was] Zimri son of Salu, a leader of a house of a father of the Simeonite.
Numbers 25:15	And the name of the woman who was killed, the Midianitess, [was] Cozbi the daughter of Zur; he [was] head of a tribe of a house of a father in Midian.
Numbers 25:16	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 25:17	“Harass the Midianites and strike them.
Numbers 25:18	For they harassed you⁺ with their schemes by which they seduced you⁺ in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a leader of Midian, their sister who was killed in the day of the plague over the matter of Peor.”
Numbers 26:1	And it came to pass after the plague that YHWH spoke to Moses and Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, saying,
Numbers 26:2	“Take a census of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, from a son of twenty years and above, by the house of their fathers—all who are able to go to war in Israel.”
Numbers 26:3	And Moses and Eleazar the priest spoke with them in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
Numbers 26:4	“From a son of twenty years and above, as YHWH has commanded Moses.” And the sons of Israel who came out of the land of Egypt:
Numbers 26:5	Reuben [was] the firstborn of Israel. The sons of Reuben: Of Hanoch, the clan of the Hanochite; of Pallu, the clan of the Palluite;
Numbers 26:6	of Hezron, the clan of the Hezronite; of Carmi, the clan of the Carmite.
Numbers 26:7	These [are] the clans of the Reubenite, and those numbered were three and forty thousand and seven hundred and thirty.
Numbers 26:8	And the sons of Pallu: Eliab,
Numbers 26:9	and the sons of Eliab [were] Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. [They] are the Dathan and Abiram, called of the congregation, who contended against Moses and Aaron in the company of Korah when they contended against YHWH.
Numbers 26:10	And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and with [them] Korah in the death of the company, when the fire devoured two hundred and fifty men, and they became a sign.
Numbers 26:11	And the sons of Korah did not die.
Numbers 26:12	The sons of Simeon by their clans: Of Nemuel, the clan of the Nemuelite; of Jamin, the clan of the Jaminite; of Jachin, the clan of the Jachinite;
Numbers 26:13	of Zerah, the clan of the Zerahite; of Shaul, the clan of the Shaulite.
Numbers 26:14	These [are] the clans of the Simeonite, two and twenty thousand and two hundred.

Numbers 26:64	And among these there was not a man of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the sons of Israel in the Wilderness of Sinai.

Numbers 27:2	And they stood before the face of Moses and before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of the leaders and all the congregation at the opening of the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Numbers 27:3	“Our father died in the wilderness, and he was not in the midst of the congregation of those who gathered together against YHWH in company with Korah; but he died in his own sin. And he had no sons.
Numbers 27:4	Why should the name of our father be removed from the midst of his family, because he had no son? Give us a possession in the midst of the brothers of our father.”
Numbers 27:5	And Moses brought their case before the face of YHWH,
Numbers 27:6	and YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 27:7	“The daughters of Zelophehad speak correctly. You surely must give them a possession of inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass over to them.
Numbers 27:8	And you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘If a man dies and does not have a son unto him, then you⁺ shall cause his inheritance to pass over to his daughter.
Numbers 27:9	And if he has no daughter, then you⁺ shall give his inheritance to his brothers.
Numbers 27:10	And if he has no brothers, then you⁺ shall give his inheritance to the brothers of his father.
Numbers 27:11	And if his father has no brothers, then you⁺ shall give his inheritance to his close relative, the nearest to him, from his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be to the sons of Israel a statute of judgment, as YHWH has commanded Moses.’”
Numbers 27:12	And YHWH said to Moses, “Go up into this mountain of the Abarim, and see the land that I have given to the sons of Israel.
Numbers 27:13	And you shall see it and shall be gathered to your people, even you, as Aaron your brother was gathered.
Numbers 27:14	For you⁺ rebelled against My command in the Wilderness of Zin in the strife of the congregation, to show My holiness at the waters before their eyes.” Those [are] the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.
Numbers 27:15	And Moses spoke to YHWH, saying,
Numbers 27:16	“Let YHWH, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation
Numbers 27:17	who may go out before them and go in before them, and who may lead them out and bring them in, that the congregation of YHWH may not be like sheep that do not have unto them a shepherd.”
Numbers 27:18	And YHWH said to Moses, “Take with you Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom [is] the Spirit, and lay your hand on him.
Numbers 27:19	And you shall stand him before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of all the congregation, and you shall command him in their eyes.
Numbers 27:20	And you shall put [some] of your authority on him, that all the congregation of the sons of Israel may be obedient.
Numbers 27:21	And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, and he shall inquire for him by the judgment of the Urim before the face of YHWH. At his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in—he and all the sons of Israel with him—and all the congregation.”
Numbers 27:22	And Moses did as YHWH had commanded him, and He took Joshua and set him before the face of Eleazar the priest and before the face of all the congregation.
Numbers 27:23	And he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as YHWH had spoken by the hand of Moses.
Numbers 28:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

Numbers 28:3	And you shall say to them: This [is] the fire offering that you⁺ shall offer to YHWH: Two male lambs, sons of a year, unblemished, day by day as a regular burnt offering.

Numbers 29:40	And Moses spoke to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH had commanded Moses.
Numbers 30:1	And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes concerning the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the thing that YHWH has commanded:
Numbers 30:2	If a man makes a vow to YHWH or swears an oath to bind by some binding obligation on his soul, he shall not break his word; according to all that proceeds out of his mouth, he shall do.
Numbers 30:3	Or if a woman makes a vow to YHWH and binds [herself] by some binding obligation while in the house of her father in her youth,
Numbers 30:4	and her father hears her vow and the binding obligation by which she has bound on her soul, and her father keeps silent to her, all her vows shall stand, and every binding obligation that she has bound upon her soul shall stand.
Numbers 30:5	But if her father forbids her on the day that he hears, then any of her vows or her binding obligations by which she has bound on her soul shall not stand; and YHWH will release her, because her father forbade her.
Numbers 30:6	And if she is at all unto a husband, and her vows [are] on her, or a rash utterance [from] her lips by which she bound on her soul,
Numbers 30:7	and her husband hears [it] on the day that he hears, and makes no response to her, her vows shall stand, and her binding obligations by which she bound on her soul shall stand.
Numbers 30:8	But if, on the day that he hears [it], her husband forbids her, he makes void her vow that she took and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound on her soul, and YHWH will release her.
Numbers 30:9	And a vow of a widow or a divorced woman, any by which she has bound upon her soul shall stand against her.
Numbers 30:10	And if she has vowed [in] the house of her husband or bound by a binding obligation upon her soul with an oath,
Numbers 30:11	and her husband heard [it] and made no response to her [and] did not overrule her, all her vows shall stand, and every binding obligation by which she bound on her soul shall stand.
Numbers 30:12	But if her husband surely has nullified them on the day he heard [them], then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul, it shall not stand; her husband has made them void, and YHWH will release her.
Numbers 30:13	Every vow, and every sworn binding obligation to afflict her soul, her husband may confirm it or her husband may make it void.
Numbers 30:14	And if her husband keeps silent to her from day to day, he confirms all her vows, or all the binding obligations that bind her; he confirms them because he surely remained silent to her on the day that he heard [them].
Numbers 30:15	But if he surely nullifies them after he has heard [them], then he shall bear her iniquity.”
Numbers 30:16	These [are] the statutes that YHWH commanded Moses between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth [in] the house of her father.
Numbers 31:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 31:2	“Avenge the vengeance of the sons of Israel against the Midianite; afterward you shall be gathered to your people.”
Numbers 31:3	And Moses spoke to the people, saying, “Arm some of your men for war, that they may go against the Midianite, to put the vengeance of YHWH on Midian.
Numbers 31:4	A thousand from a tribe, a thousand from a tribe, to all the tribes of Israel, you⁺ shall send to the war.”
Numbers 31:5	And there were given out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand from a tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Numbers 31:6	And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from a tribe, and he sent them to the war along with Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the holy vessels, and the signal and the trumpets in his hand.
Numbers 31:7	And they warred against the Midianite, as YHWH had commanded Moses; and they killed all the males.
Numbers 31:8	And the kings of Midian they killed with their pierced ones—Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba—five kings of Midian; and Balaam son of Beor they also killed with the sword.
Numbers 31:9	And the sons of Israel took captive the women of Midian, with their little ones, and all their cattle, and all their flocks, and they plundered all their goods.
Numbers 31:10	And also all the cities where they dwelt, and all their forts, they burned with the fire.
Numbers 31:11	And they took all the spoil and all the plunder of the man and the beast.
Numbers 31:12	And they brought to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the congregation of the sons of Israel the captives, and the plunder, and the spoil—to the camp in the plains of Moab, which [are] by the Jordan [near] Jericho.
Numbers 31:13	And Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the congregation went to meet them toward the outside of the camp.
Numbers 31:14	And Moses was angry with the officers of the army, chiefs of the thousands and chiefs of the hundreds, who were coming in from the battle.
Numbers 31:15	And Moses said to them, “Have you⁺ kept alive every female?
Numbers 31:16	Behold, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against YHWH in the incident of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of YHWH.
Numbers 31:17	And now kill every male among the little ones, and every woman who has known a man by lying with him you must kill.
Numbers 31:18	And every child among the women who have not known the bed of a man, you shall keep alive for yourselves.
Numbers 31:19	And as for you⁺, remain outside of the camp seven days; anyone who kills a soul and anyone who touches the slain—you⁺ shall cleanse yourselves from sin, you⁺ and your⁺ captives, on the third day and on the seventh day.
Numbers 31:20	And every garment, and everything made of leather, and everything woven of goats’ [hair], and every wood vessel, you⁺ shall cleanse yourselves from sin.”
Numbers 31:21	And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had gone to the battle, “This [is] the ordinance of the law that YHWH has commanded Moses:
Numbers 31:22	Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, and the lead—
Numbers 31:23	everything that can endure the fire—you⁺ shall put through the fire, and it shall be clean. Nevertheless, with the water of purification it shall be cleansed from sin. And all that cannot endure the fire, you⁺ shall put through the water.
Numbers 31:24	And you⁺ shall wash your⁺ clothes on the seventh day and be clean, and afterward you⁺ may come into the camp.”
Numbers 31:25	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 31:26	“Count up the sum of the plunder that was taken of the man and the beast, you and Eleazar the priest and the heads of the fathers of the congregation.
Numbers 31:27	And divide the plunder between those handling the war who went out to the battle, and between all the congregation.
Numbers 31:28	And raise a tribute for YHWH from the men of war who went out to battle: One soul of every five hundred, of the persons, and the cattle, and the donkeys, and the sheep.
Numbers 31:29	From their half you⁺ shall take and give [it] to Eleazar the priest as a contribution to YHWH.
Numbers 31:30	And from half the sons of Israel, you shall take one portion of every fifty, of the persons, of the cattle, of the donkeys, and of the sheep, from all the livestock, and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of YHWH.”
Numbers 31:31	And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Numbers 31:32	And [this] was and the plunder remaining from the plunder that the men of war had taken: Six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Numbers 31:33	and of the herd two and seventy thousand,
Numbers 31:34	and one and sixty thousand donkeys,
Numbers 31:35	and persons of women who had not known the lying with a man, all the persons, two and thirty thousand.
Numbers 31:36	And the half, the portion for those who had gone out to war: The number of the sheep was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred,
Numbers 31:37	and the tribute to YHWH of the sheep was six hundred five and seventy.
Numbers 31:38	And the cattle, six and thirty thousand, and their tribute to YHWH, two and seventy.
Numbers 31:39	And the donkeys [were] thirty thousand and five hundred, and their tribute to YHWH one and sixty.
Numbers 31:40	And the persons [were] sixteen thousand, and their tribute to YHWH two and thirty persons.
Numbers 31:41	And Moses gave the tribute—the contribution to YHWH—to Eleazar the priest, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Numbers 31:42	And from half of the sons of Israel, which Moses separated from the men who fought;
Numbers 31:43	and the half belonging to the congregation was: Of the flock three hundred thousand and thirty thousand, seven thousand, and five hundred,
Numbers 31:44	and of the herd six and thirty thousand,
Numbers 31:45	and donkeys thirty thousand and five hundred,
Numbers 31:46	and persons sixteen thousand.
Numbers 31:47	And Moses took from the sons of Israel half of one possession of every fifty, man and beast, and he gave to them to the Levites who kept charge of the tabernacle of YHWH, as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Numbers 31:48	And the officers who [were] over thousands of the army, captains of the thousands and captains of the hundreds, came near to Moses,
Numbers 31:49	and they said to Moses, “Your servants have taken a count of the men of war who [are] under our command, and not a man of us is missing.
Numbers 31:50	And we have brought YHWH an offering for every man [from] that which he has found, of ornaments of gold, armlets, and bracelets, and signet rings, and earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement upon our souls before the face of YHWH.”
Numbers 31:51	And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from them—all the fashioned ornaments.
Numbers 31:52	And all the gold of the contribution that they lifted up to YHWH was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels, from captains of the thousands and captains of the hundreds.
Numbers 31:53	The men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.
Numbers 31:54	And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds, and brought it into the Tent of Meeting as a memorial for the sons of Israel before the face of YHWH.
Numbers 32:1	And much livestock was unto the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad, very numerous. And they saw the land of Jazer and the land of Gilead, that indeed the region [was] a place for livestock;
Numbers 32:2	and the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben came and spoke to Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and to the leaders of the congregation, saying,
Numbers 32:3	“Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Numbers 32:4	the land that YHWH defeated before the face of the congregation of Israel, it [is] a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.”
Numbers 32:5	And they said, “If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants as a possession, do not make us pass over the Jordan.”
Numbers 32:6	And Moses said to the sons of Gad and to the sons of Reuben, “Shall your⁺ brothers go to war and you⁺ sit here?
Numbers 32:7	And why do you⁺ discourage the heart of the sons of Israel from going over into the land that YHWH has given them?
Numbers 32:8	Thus did your⁺ fathers when I sent them away from Kadesh-barnea to see the land.
Numbers 32:9	And they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, and they discouraged the heart of the sons of Israel so as not to go into the land that YHWH had given them.
Numbers 32:10	And the anger of YHWH was kindled on that day, and He swore an oath, saying,
Numbers 32:11	‘Surely none shall see of the men who came up from Egypt, from a son of twenty years and above, the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—for they have not wholly followed Me—
Numbers 32:12	except Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua son of Nun; for they have wholly followed YHWH.’
Numbers 32:13	And the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the finishing of all the generation that had done evil in the eyes of YHWH.
Numbers 32:14	And behold, you⁺ have risen up in place of your⁺ fathers, a brood of sinful men to add still more to the fierce anger of YHWH against Israel.
Numbers 32:15	For if you⁺ turn away from following Him, He will once again leave them in the wilderness, and you⁺ will destroy all this people.”
Numbers 32:16	And they came near to him and said, “Walls for sheep we will build for our livestock here, and cities for our little ones,
Numbers 32:17	and we will be armed, hurrying before the face of the sons of Israel, until that when we have brought them to their place, and our little ones will dwell in the cities of defense because of those dwelling in the land.
Numbers 32:18	We will not return to our homes until the sons of Israel have received, each man, his inheritance.
Numbers 32:19	For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has come to us on this side of the Jordan at the rising.”
Numbers 32:20	And Moses said to them, “If you⁺ do this thing, if you⁺ arm yourselves before the face of YHWH for the war,
Numbers 32:21	and all your⁺ armed men pass over the Jordan before the face of YHWH until He has driven out His enemies from before Him,
Numbers 32:22	and the land is subdued before the face of YHWH, then afterward you⁺ may return and be blameless before YHWH and before Israel. And this land shall be your⁺ possession before the face of YHWH.
Numbers 32:23	But if you⁺ do not do so, behold, you⁺ have sinned against YHWH; and know your⁺ sin, that it will find you⁺ out.
Numbers 32:24	Build for yourselves cities for your⁺ little ones, and folds for your⁺ sheep; and what has proceeded out of your⁺ mouth, you⁺ shall do.”
Numbers 32:25	And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben spoke to Moses, saying, “Your servants will do as my lord is commanding.
Numbers 32:26	Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our livestock will be there in the cities of Gilead.
Numbers 32:27	And your servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the face of YHWH, to battle, as my lord has spoken.”
Numbers 32:28	And Moses gave orders concerning them to Eleazar the priest, and to Joshua son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 32:29	And Moses said to them, “If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben pass over the Jordan with you⁺, every man armed for battle before the face of YHWH, and the land is subdued before you⁺, you⁺ shall give them the land of Gilead as a possession.
Numbers 32:30	But if they do not pass over armed with you⁺, they shall have possessions in your⁺ midst in the land of Canaan.”
Numbers 32:31	And the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben answered, saying, “As YHWH has said to your servants, so we will do.
Numbers 32:32	We will pass over armed before the face of YHWH into the land of Canaan; and with us [is] the possession of our inheritance on this side of the Jordan.”
Numbers 32:33	And Moses gave to them, to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Reuben, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorite, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land with its cities, within the borders, the cities of the surrounding country.
Numbers 32:34	And the sons of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Numbers 32:35	and Atroth-shophan, and Jazer, and Jogbehah,
Numbers 32:36	and Beth-nimrah, and Beth-haran, fortified cities and folds for sheep.
Numbers 32:37	And the sons of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kiriathaim,
Numbers 32:38	and Nebo, and Baal-meon (the names being changed), and Sibmah. And they gave by [these] names the names to the cities that they built.
Numbers 32:39	And the sons of Machir son of Manasseh went to Gilead and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite who [were] in it.
Numbers 32:40	And Moses gave Gilead to Machir son of Manasseh, and he dwelt in it.
Numbers 32:41	And Jair son of Manasseh went and captured their tent villages and called them Havvoth-jair.
Numbers 32:42	And Nobah went and took Kenath and its daughter-villages, and he called it Nobah after his own name.
Numbers 33:1	These [are] the journeys of the sons of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Numbers 33:2	And Moses wrote down the starting points of their journeys at the mouth of YHWH, and these [are] their journeys according to their starting points.
Numbers 33:3	And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover the sons of Israel went out with hand held high before the eyes of all the Egyptians.
Numbers 33:4	For Egypt were burying those whom YHWH had struck down among them, all the firstborn, and on their gods YHWH had executed judgments.
Numbers 33:5	And the sons of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.
Numbers 33:6	And they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, which [is] on the edge of the wilderness.

Numbers 33:35	And they set out from Abronah and camped at Ezion-geber.
Numbers 33:36	And they set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the Wilderness of Zin; it [is] Kadesh.
Numbers 33:37	And they set out from Kadesh and camped at Mount Hor on the boundary of the land of Edom.
Numbers 33:38	And Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the mouth of YHWH, and died there, in the fortieth year of the going out of the sons of Israel of the land of Egypt, on the first of the Fifth month.
Numbers 33:39	And Aaron [was] a son of three and twenty and a hundred years when he died on Mount Hor.
Numbers 33:40	And the Canaanite—the king of Arad—he dwelt in the Negev in the land of Canaan and heard of the coming of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 33:41	And they set out from Mount Hor and camped at Zalmonah.

Numbers 33:49	And they camped by the Jordan, from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim in the plains of Moab.
Numbers 33:50	And YHWH spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [across from] Jericho, saying,
Numbers 33:51	“Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you⁺ have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Numbers 33:52	you⁺ shall drive out all those dwelling in the land from before you⁺ and destroy all their carved figures, and all their molten images you⁺ shall destroy, and all their high places you⁺ shall demolish.
Numbers 33:53	And you⁺ shall possess the land and dwell in it. For to you⁺ I have given the land to possess.
Numbers 33:54	And you⁺ shall inherit for yourselves the land by lot among your⁺ clans. To the larger you⁺ shall give a larger inheritance, and to the smaller you shall give a smaller inheritance. To where there the lot goes out to each one, it shall be unto him. According to the tribes of your⁺ fathers you⁺ shall inherit.
Numbers 33:55	But if you⁺ do not drive out those dwelling in the land from before you⁺, it shall be that you⁺ leave [are] irritants in your⁺ eyes and thorns in your⁺ sides, and they shall harass you⁺ in the land in which you⁺ dwell.
Numbers 33:56	And it will come to pass [that] as I thought to do to them, I will do to you⁺.”
Numbers 34:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 34:2	“Command the sons of Israel, and say to them: When you⁺ come into the land of Canaan, this [is] the land that shall fall to you⁺ as an inheritance—the land of Canaan to its boundaries:
Numbers 34:3	And your⁺ border on the Negev shall be from the Wilderness of Zin along the border of Edom, and your⁺ border on the Negev shall extend to the end of the Salt Sea eastward.
Numbers 34:4	And your⁺ border shall turn from the Negev to the Ascent of Akrabbim and continue to Zin, and the going forth will be from the Negev to Kadesh-barnea, and it shall go on to Hazar-addar and continue to Azmon.
Numbers 34:5	And the border shall turn from Azmon to the Brook of Egypt, and will be its outer limits to the Sea.
Numbers 34:6	And as for the western border, the Great Sea shall be to you⁺ for a border; this shall be your⁺ western border.
Numbers 34:7	And this shall be your⁺ northern border: From the Great Sea you⁺ shall mark out to you⁺ to Mount Hor.
Numbers 34:8	From Mount Hor you⁺ shall mark out to Lebo-hamath; and the direction of the border shall be toward Zedad;
Numbers 34:9	and the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar-enan. This shall be unto you⁺ the northern border.
Numbers 34:10	And you⁺ shall mark out your⁺ eastern border from Hazar-enan to Shepham,
Numbers 34:11	and the border shall go down from Shepham to Riblah on the east side of Ain, and the border shall go down and reach to the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth.
Numbers 34:12	And the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be to you⁺ the land with its boundaries all around.”
Numbers 34:13	And Moses commanded the sons of Israel, saying, “This [is] the land that you shall inherit by lot, which YHWH has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe;
Numbers 34:14	for the tribe of the sons of the Reubenite has received according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the sons of the Gadite according to the house of their fathers, and the half-tribe of Manasseh has received its inheritance.
Numbers 34:15	The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on this side of the Jordan [near] Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.”
Numbers 34:16	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 34:17	“These [are] the names of the men who shall divide as an inheritance among you⁺ the land: Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun.
Numbers 34:18	And one leader—one leader from a tribe—you⁺ shall take to distribute the land.
Numbers 34:19	And these [are] the names of the men: From the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;
Numbers 34:20	and from the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud;
Numbers 34:21	from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad son of Chislon;
Numbers 34:22	and from the tribe of the sons of Dan, a leader Bukki son of Jogli;
Numbers 34:23	from the sons of Joseph, from the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, a leader, Hanniel son of Ephod;
Numbers 34:24	and from the tribe of the sons of Ephraim, a leader, Kemuel son of Shiphtan;
Numbers 34:25	and from the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, a leader, Elizaphan son of Parnach;
Numbers 34:26	and from the tribe of the sons of Issachar, a leader, Paltiel son of Azzan;
Numbers 34:27	and from the tribe of the sons of Asher, a leader, Ahihud son of Shelomi;
Numbers 34:28	and from the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, a leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud.”
Numbers 34:29	These [are] those whom YHWH commanded among the sons of Israel to divide the inheritance in the land of Canaan.
Numbers 35:1	And YHWH spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho, saying,
Numbers 35:2	“Command the sons of Israel that they give to the Levites from the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and pastureland around the cities you⁺ shall give the Levites.
Numbers 35:3	And the cities shall be for them to dwell in, and their pasturelands shall be for their cattle, and for their herds, and for all their animals.
Numbers 35:4	And the pasturelands of the cities that you⁺ shall give the Levites [is] from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits all around.
Numbers 35:5	And you⁺ shall measure outside of the city on the east side two thousand by the cubit, and on the side of the Negev two thousand by the cubit, and on the west side two thousand by the cubit, and on the north side two thousand by the cubit; and the city [is] in the middle. This shall be unto them as pasturelands for the cities.
Numbers 35:6	And among the cities that you⁺ shall give to the Levites [are] six cities of refuge, which you⁺ shall give for the fleeing there of the manslayer. And to these you⁺ shall add forty-two cities.
Numbers 35:7	And all the cities that you⁺ will give to the Levites [are] forty-eight cities—these and their pasturelands.
Numbers 35:8	And the cities that you⁺ give from the possession of the sons of Israel—from the larger you⁺ shall give many and from the smaller you⁺ shall give few—each in proportion to the inheritance that each receives should be given of its cities to the Levites.”
Numbers 35:9	And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
Numbers 35:10	“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you⁺ cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,
Numbers 35:11	you⁺ shall appoint for yourselves cities—cities of refuge to be for you⁺, that may flee there the manslayer who kills a person in error.
Numbers 35:12	And they shall be for you⁺ cities of refuge from the avenger, that the manslayer may not die until he stands before the face of the congregation for judgment.
Numbers 35:13	And of the cities that you⁺ give, six will be to you⁺ cities of refuge.
Numbers 35:14	Three cities you⁺ shall appoint on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you⁺ shall appoint in the land of Canaan—they are cities of refuge.
Numbers 35:15	For the sons of Israel and for the sojourner and for the stranger in your midst shall be these six cities for refuge; anyone who kills a soul in error to flee there.
Numbers 35:16	But if he strikes him with an iron implement and he dies, he [is] a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:17	And if with a stone in the hand, with which one could die by it, he strikes him and he does die, he [is] a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:18	Or [if] with a wooden weapon [in] the hand, with which one could die by it, he strikes him and he does die, he [is] a murderer; the murderer must surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:19	The avenger of blood himself shall put to death the murderer; when he meets him, he shall put him to death.
Numbers 35:20	And if out of hatred he pushes him or hurls something at him while lying in wait, and he dies,
Numbers 35:21	or in enmity he strikes him with his hand and he dies, the one who struck [him] must surely be put to death; he [is] a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put to death the murderer when he meets him.
Numbers 35:22	And if suddenly without enmity he pushes him or throws at him any object without lying in wait,
Numbers 35:23	or with any stone with which a man could die by it, without seeing [him], and throwing [it] at him so that he dies, and he [is] not an enemy to him or seeking his harm,
Numbers 35:24	then the congregation shall judge between the manslayer and between the avenger of blood according to these ordinances.
Numbers 35:25	And the congregation shall deliver the manslayer from the hand of the avenger of blood, and the congregation shall return him to the city of refuge where there he had fled; and he shall remain there until the death of the high priest who was anointed with the oil of holiness.
Numbers 35:26	But if the manslayer ever goes outside the limits of the city of refuge, where there he fled,
Numbers 35:27	and the avenger of blood finds him outside the limits of the city of his refuge, and the avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he shall not [be guilty of] blood,
Numbers 35:28	because in his city of refuge he should have remained until the death of the high priest. And after the death of the high priest the manslayer may return to the land of his possession.
Numbers 35:29	And these shall be to you⁺ a statute of judgment throughout your⁺ generations in all your⁺ dwellings.
Numbers 35:30	Whoever kills a person, on the testimony of witnesses the murderer shall be put to death. And one witness shall not testify against a person to die.
Numbers 35:31	And you⁺ shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is [is] condemned to die; for he must surely be put to death.
Numbers 35:32	And you⁺ shall take no ransom for him who has fled to the city of his refuge, that he may return to dwell in the land before the death of the priest.
Numbers 35:33	And you⁺ shall not pollute the land that you⁺ [are] in because the blood itself defiles the land; and for the land atonement cannot be made for the blood that is shed on it, except if by the blood of him who shed it.
Numbers 35:34	You shall not defile the land that you⁺ are dwelling in, in the midst of which I dwell. For I, YHWH, dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel.”
Numbers 36:1	And the chief fathers of the clans of the sons of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh, of the clans of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before the face of Moses and before the face of the leaders, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel.
Numbers 36:2	And they said, “YHWH commanded my lord to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the sons of Israel, and my lord was commanded by YHWH to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother to his daughters.
Numbers 36:3	And if they are to one of the sons of the tribes of the sons of Israel for wives, their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe that they marry into. And from the lot of our inheritance it is withdrawn.
Numbers 36:4	And if it is the Jubilee of the sons of Israel, their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe that they marry into, and from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers their inheritance shall be withdrawn.”
Numbers 36:5	And Moses commanded the sons of Israel according to the word of YHWH, saying, “Rightly the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks.
Numbers 36:6	This [is] the thing that YHWH commands concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying: Let them be for wives to those good in their eyes, but only within the family of the tribe of their father let them be for wives.
Numbers 36:7	And the inheritance of the sons of Israel shall not change hands from tribe to tribe, for a man of the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers, the sons of Israel shall cling to.
Numbers 36:8	And every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the sons of Israel shall be a wife of one of the family of the tribe of her father, so that the sons of Israel will have a possession, a man the inheritance of his fathers.
Numbers 36:9	And inheritance shall not change hands from one tribe to another tribe, but each of the tribes of the sons of Israel shall keep its inheritance.”
Numbers 36:10	As YHWH commanded Moses, so the daughters of Zelophehad did.
Numbers 36:11	And Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah—the daughters of Zelophehad—were to the sons of their father’s brothers for wives.
Numbers 36:12	Into the clans of the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph they became married, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Numbers 36:13	These [are] the commandments and the ordinances that YHWH commanded by the hand of Moses unto the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan [near] Jericho.
Deuteronomy 1:1	These [are] the words that Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph between Paran and between Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth and Dizahab.
Deuteronomy 1:2	[It is] eleven days from Horeb by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea.
Deuteronomy 1:3	And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, [that] Moses spoke to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH had commanded him concerning them,
Deuteronomy 1:4	after he had killed Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan, who dwelt at Ashtaroth in Edrei.
Deuteronomy 1:5	On this side of the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
Deuteronomy 1:6	YHWH our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: “You⁺ have dwelt long enough at this mountain.
Deuteronomy 1:7	Turn and set out for yourselves, and go to the mountains of the Amorite and to all the neighboring [places] in the plain, in the hill country, and in the Shephelah, and in the Negev, and on the seacoast, to the land of the Canaanite, and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the River Euphrates.
Deuteronomy 1:8	See, I have set before you⁺ the land. Go in and possess the land that YHWH swore to your⁺ fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.”
Deuteronomy 1:9	And I spoke to you⁺ at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you⁺ alone.
Deuteronomy 1:10	YHWH your⁺ God has multiplied you⁺, and behold, today [you are] as the stars of the heavens in multitude.
Deuteronomy 1:11	May YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers, add to you⁺ as a thousand times, and bless you⁺ as He has promised to you⁺.
Deuteronomy 1:12	How can I bear alone your⁺ troubles and your⁺ burdens and your⁺ disputes?
Deuteronomy 1:13	Choose for yourselves men, wise and understanding and knowledgeable, from among your⁺ tribes, and I will appoint them as your⁺ heads.”
Deuteronomy 1:14	And you⁺ answered me and said, “Good [is] the thing that you have told [us] to do.”
Deuteronomy 1:15	And I took the heads of your⁺ tribes, men wise and knowledgeable, and I appointed them heads over you⁺—leaders of thousands, and leaders of hundreds, and leaders of fifties, and leaders of tens, and officers for your⁺ tribes.
Deuteronomy 1:16	And I commanded your⁺ judges at that time, saying, “Listen between your⁺ brothers and judge righteously between a man and between his brother or the sojourner who is with him.
Deuteronomy 1:17	You⁺ shall not discern faces in judgment; the small as well as the great you⁺ shall hear. You⁺ shall not be afraid of the face of any man, for the judgment, it [is] unto God. And the case that is too hard for you⁺, bring to me, and I will hear it.”
Deuteronomy 1:18	And I commanded you⁺ at that time all the things that you⁺ should do.
Deuteronomy 1:19	And we departed from Horeb and went through all that great and fearful wilderness, which you⁺ saw on the way to the mountains of the Amorite, as YHWH our God had commanded us. And we came to Kadesh-barnea,
Deuteronomy 1:20	and I said to you⁺, “You⁺ have come to the hill country of the Amorite, which YHWH our God is giving to us.
Deuteronomy 1:21	See, YHWH your God has set before you the land. Go up, possess [it], as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Do not be afraid or be discouraged.”
Deuteronomy 1:22	And you⁺ all came near to me and said, “Let us send men before us, and let them search out for us the land, and bring back to us word of the way by which we should go up into it, and of the cities into which we shall come.”
Deuteronomy 1:23	And the plan was good in my eyes, and I took from among you⁺ twelve men, one man per tribe.
Deuteronomy 1:24	And they departed and went up into the mountains and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out.
Deuteronomy 1:25	And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land and brought [it] down to us, and they brought back to us word and said, “Good [is] the land that YHWH our God is giving to us.”
Deuteronomy 1:26	And you⁺ would not go up, and you⁺ rebelled against the mouth of YHWH your⁺ God,
Deuteronomy 1:27	and you⁺ murmured in your⁺ tents and said, “Because YHWH hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite, to destroy us.
Deuteronomy 1:28	Where [can] we go up? Our brothers have discouraged our hearts, saying, ‘The people [are] greater and taller than we; the cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens. And moreover, we have seen the sons of Anak there.’”
Deuteronomy 1:29	And I said to you⁺, “Do not be terrified and do not be afraid of them.
Deuteronomy 1:30	YHWH your⁺ God goes before you⁺. He will fight for you⁺ according to all that He did for you⁺ in Egypt before your⁺ eyes,
Deuteronomy 1:31	and in the wilderness, where you saw how YHWH your God carried you as a man carries his son in all the way that you⁺ went, until you⁺ came to this place.”
Deuteronomy 1:32	And in this thing you⁺ did not believe YHWH your⁺ God,
Deuteronomy 1:33	who went before you⁺ on the way to search out for you⁺ a place to pitch your⁺ tents in the fire by night, and to show you⁺ the way in which you⁺ should go in the cloud by day.
Deuteronomy 1:34	And YHWH heard the sound of your⁺ words, and He was angry and swore, saying,
Deuteronomy 1:35	“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land of which I swore to give to your⁺ fathers—
Deuteronomy 1:36	except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He shall see it, and to him I am giving the land that he walked in, and to his sons, on account of that he has been fully after YHWH.”
Deuteronomy 1:37	Also YHWH was angry with me for your⁺ sakes, saying, “Even you shall not go in there.
Deuteronomy 1:38	Joshua son of Nun who stands before you, he shall go in there; strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deuteronomy 1:39	And your⁺ little ones, whom you⁺ said would be for plunder, and your⁺ sons, who have no knowledge today of good and evil, they shall go in there, and to them I will give it, and they shall possess it.
Deuteronomy 1:40	And [as for] you⁺, turn and set out for yourselves into the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.”
Deuteronomy 1:41	And you⁺ answered and said to me, “We have sinned against YHWH. We will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH our God commanded us.” And you⁺ had girded on, every man, of his weapons of war, and you⁺ were ready to go up into the mountain.
Deuteronomy 1:42	And YHWH said to me, “Tell them: Do not go up, nor fight, for I [am] not among you⁺, lest you⁺ be stricken before the faces of your⁺ enemies.”
Deuteronomy 1:43	And I spoke to you⁺ and you⁺ would not listen, and you⁺ rebelled against the mouth of YHWH and proudly went up into the mountain.
Deuteronomy 1:44	And the Amorite who dwelt in that mountain came out against you⁺ and chased you⁺ like the bees do, and drove you⁺ back from Seir to Hormah.
Deuteronomy 1:45	And you⁺ returned and you⁺ wept before the face of YHWH; YHWH would not listen to your⁺ voice, nor give ear to you⁺.
Deuteronomy 1:46	And you⁺ remained in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you⁺ had dwelt.
Deuteronomy 2:1	And we turned and set out into the wilderness, the Way of the Red Sea, as YHWH had spoken to me. And we went around Mount Seir for many days.
Deuteronomy 2:2	And YHWH spoke to me, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:3	“You⁺ have been going around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves northward.
Deuteronomy 2:4	And command the people, saying, ‘You⁺ are passing over into the border of your⁺ brothers, the sons of Esau, who live in Seir, and they will be afraid of you⁺. And you⁺ shall be on guard exceedingly.
Deuteronomy 2:5	Do not meddle with them, for I will not give to you⁺ of their land even the treading of the sole of a foot. For [as] a possession to Esau I have given Mount Seir.
Deuteronomy 2:6	You⁺ shall buy food from them with silver, and you⁺ will eat; and you⁺ shall buy water from them with silver, and you⁺ will drink.’”
Deuteronomy 2:7	For YHWH your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand; He knows your walking this vast wilderness these forty years. YHWH your God [has been] with you; you have not lacked a thing.
Deuteronomy 2:8	And we passed beyond our brothers, the sons of Esau, who dwell in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and Ezion-geber, and we turned and passed by the way of the Wilderness of Moab.
Deuteronomy 2:9	And YHWH said to me, “Do not harass Moab and do not contend with them in battle, for I will not give to you of their land [as] a possession, because to the sons of Lot I have given Ar [as] a possession.”
Deuteronomy 2:10	(The Emites in times past had dwelt there, a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim.
Deuteronomy 2:11	They also were regarded as Rephaim like the Anakites; and the Moabites call them Emites.
Deuteronomy 2:12	And in Seir the Horites dwelt formerly; and the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before their faces and dwelt in their place, as Israel did to the land of their possession, which YHWH gave to them.)
Deuteronomy 2:13	“Now rise and pass over to the Brook of Zered.” And we passed over the Brook of Zered.
Deuteronomy 2:14	And the time that we walked from Kadesh-barnea until that we passed over the Brook of Zered [was] thirty-eight years, until were finished all the generation of the men of war [from] the midst of the camp, as YHWH had sworn to them.
Deuteronomy 2:15	For indeed, the hand of YHWH was against them to destroy them from the midst of the camp, until they came to an end.
Deuteronomy 2:16	And it came to pass, when all the men of war had finally perished, dying from among the people,
Deuteronomy 2:17	[that] YHWH spoke to me, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:18	“You are to pass over this day the boundary of Moab at Ar.
Deuteronomy 2:19	And [when] you come near the sons of Ammon, do not harass them and you shall not fight with them, for I will not give of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [as] a possession, because I have given it [as] a possession to the sons of Lot.”
Deuteronomy 2:20	(It was also regarded as the land of the Rephaim, even it; the Rephaim dwelt there formerly, and the Ammonites call them Zamzumim—
Deuteronomy 2:21	a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim—and YHWH destroyed them from before them and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place—
Deuteronomy 2:22	as He had done for the sons of Esau who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed the Horite from before them and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.
Deuteronomy 2:23	And the Avites who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorites who came from Caphtor destroyed them and dwelt in their place.)
Deuteronomy 2:24	“Rise, set out, and pass over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land. Begin to possess [it] and engage him in battle.
Deuteronomy 2:25	This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under all the heavens, who shall hear the report of you and shall tremble and be in anguish because of you.”
Deuteronomy 2:26	And I sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Deuteronomy 2:27	“Let me pass through your land; in the way—in the way I will go along, I will not turn [to] the right or left.
Deuteronomy 2:28	Food for silver you shall sell me that I may eat, and water for silver give to me that I may drink. Only let me pass through on foot,
Deuteronomy 2:29	as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir, and the Moabites who dwell in Ar, did for me, until that I cross the Jordan to the land that YHWH our God is giving to us.”
Deuteronomy 2:30	Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for YHWH your God hardened his spirit and made obstinate his heart, that He might deliver him into your hand in this day.
Deuteronomy 2:31	And YHWH said to me, “See, I have begun to give over to you Sihon and his land. Begin to possess—to possess his land.”
Deuteronomy 2:32	And Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
Deuteronomy 2:33	And YHWH our God delivered him over to us, and we defeated him and his sons and all his people.
Deuteronomy 2:34	And we took all his cities at that time and devoted to destruction every city, the men, and the women, and the little ones. We left no survivor.
Deuteronomy 2:35	Only the livestock we plundered for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities that we had captured.
Deuteronomy 2:36	From Aroer, which [is] on the bank of the River Arnon, and [from] the city that [is] in the ravine, and as far as Gilead, there was not one city that [was] too high for us. YHWH our God gave all before our faces.
Deuteronomy 2:37	Only near the land of the sons of Ammon you did not go near, anywhere along the River Jabbok, or to the cities of the mountains, or wherever YHWH our God had forbidden us.
Deuteronomy 3:1	And we turned and went up the road to Bashan, and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Deuteronomy 3:2	And YHWH said to me, “Do not fear him, for into your hand I have delivered him and all his people and his land, and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt in Heshbon.”
Deuteronomy 3:3	And YHWH our God delivered into our hands also Og king of Bashan, and all his people. And we struck him until he had no remaining survivors.
Deuteronomy 3:4	And we took all his cities at that time. There was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:5	All these cities [were] fortified with high walls, gates, and bars, besides very many unwalled villages.
Deuteronomy 3:6	And we devoted them to destruction as we did to Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying every city, the men, the women, and the children.
Deuteronomy 3:7	And all the livestock and the spoil of the cities we plundered for ourselves.
Deuteronomy 3:8	And at that time we took the land from the hand of the two kings of the Amorite, who [were] on this side of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon—
Deuteronomy 3:9	the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorite call it Senir—
Deuteronomy 3:10	all the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, as far as Salcah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy 3:11	(For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the Rephaim; behold, his bed [was] an iron bed. [Is] it not in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon? Nine cubits [is] its length and four cubits its width by the standard cubit.)
Deuteronomy 3:12	And this land we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which [is] by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead; and its cities I gave to the Reubenite and the Gadite.
Deuteronomy 3:13	And the rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (All the region of Argob with all Bashan was called the land of the Rephaim.)
Deuteronomy 3:14	Jair, son of Manasseh, took all the region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurite and the Maachathite, and called them after his own name, Bashan Havvoth-jair, to this day.
Deuteronomy 3:15	And to Machir I gave Gilead.
Deuteronomy 3:16	And to the Reubenite and the Gadite I gave from Gilead and as far as the River Arnon, the middle of the valley and the border, and to the Jabbok River, the border of the sons of Ammon,
Deuteronomy 3:17	and the plain, and the Jordan, and the border from Chinnereth, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, below the slopes of Pisgah to the east.
Deuteronomy 3:18	And I commanded you⁺ at that time, saying, “YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺ this land to possess. You⁺ shall pass over armed before your⁺ brothers the sons of Israel, all the sons of valor.
Deuteronomy 3:19	But your⁺ wives and your⁺ little ones and your⁺ livestock—I know that you⁺ have much livestock—shall stay in your⁺ cities that I have given you⁺,
Deuteronomy 3:20	until that YHWH has given rest to your⁺ brothers as to you⁺, and they also possess the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving them beyond the Jordan. And you⁺ will return, every man to his inheritance that I have given to you⁺.”
Deuteronomy 3:21	And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, “Your eyes have seen all that YHWH your⁺ God has done to these two kings. Thus YHWH will do to all the kingdoms through which you pass.
Deuteronomy 3:22	Do not fear them, for YHWH your⁺ God Himself fights for you⁺.”
Deuteronomy 3:23	And I pleaded with YHWH at that time, saying,
Deuteronomy 3:24	“O Lord YHWH, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand. For what god [is] in the heavens or on the earth who does works as Your works and as Your mighty deeds?
Deuteronomy 3:25	Let me pass over, please, and see the good land that [is] beyond the Jordan, this pleasant hill country, and Lebanon.”
Deuteronomy 3:26	And YHWH was angry with me on your⁺ account, and He would not listen to me. And YHWH said to me, “Enough of it. Do not add to speak to Me anymore of this matter.
Deuteronomy 3:27	Go up to the top of Pisgah and lift up your eyes toward the west, and the north, and the south, and the east, and look with your eyes. For you shall not pass over this Jordan.
Deuteronomy 3:28	And command Joshua and encourage him and strengthen him, for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land that you will see.”
Deuteronomy 3:29	And we stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor.
Deuteronomy 4:1	And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances that I teach you⁺ to observe, that you⁺ may live and go in and possess the land that YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers, is giving to you⁺.
Deuteronomy 4:2	You⁺ shall not add to the word that I command you⁺, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHWH your⁺ God that I command you⁺.
Deuteronomy 4:3	Your⁺ eyes have seen what YHWH did at Baal-peor, for all the men who walked after Baal-Peor YHWH your God has destroyed from among you.
Deuteronomy 4:4	And you⁺, the ones clinging to YHWH your⁺ God, [are] alive, all of you⁺ today.
Deuteronomy 4:5	See, I have taught you⁺ statutes and ordinances as YHWH my God commanded me, that you should act accordingly in the midst of the land that you⁺ are going there to possess it.
Deuteronomy 4:6	Therefore, be careful and observe [them], for that [is] your⁺ wisdom and your⁺ understanding in the eyes of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, “Surely a wise and understanding people [is] this great nation.”
Deuteronomy 4:7	For what [is] the great nation that has a god near to it as YHWH our God [is] to us in all [that] we call upon Him?
Deuteronomy 4:8	And what [is] the great nation that has righteous statutes and ordinances according to all this law that I set before you⁺ this day?
Deuteronomy 4:9	Only take heed to yourself and keep yourself diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; and teach them to your sons and to the sons of your sons.
Deuteronomy 4:10	That day you stood before the face of YHWH your God in Horeb, when YHWH said to me, “Gather to Me the people and I will make them hear My words, that they may learn to fear Me all the days that they live on the earth, and [that] they may teach their sons.”
Deuteronomy 4:11	And you⁺ came near and stood under the mountain, and the mountain burned with the fire to the heart of the heavens, with darkness, cloud, and thick darkness,
Deuteronomy 4:12	and YHWH spoke to you⁺ out of the midst of the fire. You⁺ heard the sound of the words, and you saw no form, only a voice.
Deuteronomy 4:13	And He declared to you⁺ His covenant, which He commanded you⁺ to perform—the Ten Words. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone.
Deuteronomy 4:14	And me YHWH commanded at that time to teach you⁺ statutes and ordinances, that you⁺ might observe them in the land that you⁺ are passing over to possess.
Deuteronomy 4:15	And guard greatly your⁺ souls, for you⁺ did not see any form when YHWH spoke to you⁺ at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
Deuteronomy 4:16	lest you⁺ act corruptly and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female—
Deuteronomy 4:17	the likeness of any animal that [is] on the earth, or the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air,
Deuteronomy 4:18	the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, or the likeness of any fish that [is] in the water beneath the earth.
Deuteronomy 4:19	And lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and you see the sun and the moon and the stars—all the host of the heavens—and you feel driven to worship them and serve them, which YHWH your God has given as a heritage to all the peoples under the whole heavens.
Deuteronomy 4:20	And YHWH has taken you⁺ and brought you⁺ out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to Him for a people, as an inheritance this day.
Deuteronomy 4:21	And YHWH was angry with me because of your⁺ words, and He swore that I would not pass over the Jordan, that I would not enter into the good land that YHWH your God is giving to you as an inheritance,
Deuteronomy 4:22	but I must die in this land. I am not passing over the Jordan, and you⁺ shall pass over and possess this good land.
Deuteronomy 4:23	Take heed to yourselves, lest you⁺ forget the covenant of YHWH your⁺ God that He made with you⁺, and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything that YHWH your God has forbidden you.
Deuteronomy 4:24	For YHWH your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Deuteronomy 4:25	When you beget sons and sons of sons and have grown old in the land, and act corruptly and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do evil in the eyes of YHWH your God to provoke Him to anger,
Deuteronomy 4:26	I call to witness against you⁺ this day the heavens and the earth that you⁺ will surely perish quickly from the land to which you⁺ are passing over the Jordan to possess. You⁺ will not prolong [your⁺] days in it, but you⁺ will be utterly destroyed.
Deuteronomy 4:27	And YHWH will scatter you⁺ among the peoples, and you⁺ will be left few in number among the nations to which YHWH will drive you⁺.
Deuteronomy 4:28	And you⁺ will serve gods there—the work of the hands of man—wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
Deuteronomy 4:29	And you⁺ will seek from there YHWH your God, and you will find [Him] if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 4:30	When you are in distress and all these things come upon you in the latter days, and you turn to YHWH your God and obey His voice—
Deuteronomy 4:31	for a merciful God [is] YHWH your God—He will not forsake you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant of your fathers that He swore to them.
Deuteronomy 4:32	For ask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens and to the other of the heavens, whether there has been [as] this great thing, or has there been heard like it?
Deuteronomy 4:33	Has a people heard the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire—as you have heard yourself—and live?
Deuteronomy 4:34	Or has God attempted to come to take for Himself a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, according to all that YHWH your⁺ God did for you⁺ in Egypt before your eyes?
Deuteronomy 4:35	It was shown to you, that you might know that YHWH, He [is] God; [there is] none other besides Him.
Deuteronomy 4:36	From the heavens He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you, and on the earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.
Deuteronomy 4:37	And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and He brought you out with His face, with His mighty power, from Egypt,
Deuteronomy 4:38	to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you from before you, to bring you in to give to you their land [as] an inheritance, as [on] this day.
Deuteronomy 4:39	Therefore know this day and return it to your heart that YHWH, He [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; [there is] no other.
Deuteronomy 4:40	And you shall keep His statutes and His commandments that I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, that you may prolong [your] days in the land that YHWH your God is giving to you—all the days.
Deuteronomy 4:41	Then Moses set apart three cities on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun,
Deuteronomy 4:42	for to flee there the manslayer who kills his neighbor without knowing, and he without having hated him from yesterday and the day before yesterday, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might live:
Deuteronomy 4:43	Bezer in the wilderness on the plateau, for the Reubenite; and Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadite; and Golan in Bashan, for the Manassite.
Deuteronomy 4:44	And this [is] the law that Moses set before the sons of Israel.
Deuteronomy 4:45	These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses spoke to the sons of Israel after they came out of Egypt,
Deuteronomy 4:46	on this side of the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorite, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel defeated after they came out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 4:47	And they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan—two kings of the Amorite who [were] on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun—
Deuteronomy 4:48	from Aroer, which [is] on the bank of the River Arnon, and to Mount Siyon, that [is], Hermon,
Deuteronomy 4:49	and all the plain on the east side of the Jordan, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, below the slopes of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy 5:1	And Moses called unto all Israel, and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the statutes and the ordinances that I speak in your⁺ hearing today, that you⁺ may learn them and be careful to observe them.
Deuteronomy 5:2	YHWH our God made with us a covenant in Horeb.
Deuteronomy 5:3	Not with our fathers did YHWH make this covenant, but with us—we, these here today, all of us who [are] alive.
Deuteronomy 5:4	YHWH spoke with you⁺ Face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire.
Deuteronomy 5:5	I stood between YHWH and between you⁺ at that time, to declare to you⁺ the word of YHWH; for you⁺ were afraid because of the fire, and you⁺ did not go up the mountain. [He] said,
Deuteronomy 5:6	“I [am] YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Deuteronomy 5:7	You shall have no other gods before Me.
Deuteronomy 5:8	You shall not make for yourself a carved image, any likeness that [is] in the heavens above, or that [is] in the earth beneath, or that [is] in the water beneath the earth.
Deuteronomy 5:9	You shall not bow down to them and you shall not serve them, for I, YHWH your God, [am] a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons and on the third and fourth of those hating Me,
Deuteronomy 5:10	and showing loving devotion to thousands, to those loving Me and keeping My commandments.
Deuteronomy 5:11	You shall not lift up the name of YHWH your God in vain, for YHWH will not hold guiltless him who lifts up His name in vain.
Deuteronomy 5:12	Observe the day of the Sabbath, to keep it holy, as YHWH your God has commanded you.
Deuteronomy 5:13	Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Deuteronomy 5:14	and the seventh day [is] the Sabbath to YHWH your God; you shall not do any work—you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and your ox, and your donkey, and any of your cattle, and your sojourner who [is] within your gates—that your manservant and your maidservant may rest like you.
Deuteronomy 5:15	And remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Upon thus YHWH your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Deuteronomy 5:16	Honor your father and your mother, as YHWH your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, that it may be well with you in the land that YHWH your God is giving to you.
Deuteronomy 5:17	You shall not murder.
Deuteronomy 5:18	And you shall not commit adultery.
Deuteronomy 5:19	And you shall not steal.
Deuteronomy 5:20	And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Deuteronomy 5:21	And you shall not covet the wife of your neighbor, and you shall not covet the house of your neighbor, his field, and his manservant, and his maidservant, his ox, and his donkey, and anything that [is] unto your neighbor.”
Deuteronomy 5:22	These words YHWH spoke to all your⁺ assembly in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, the cloud, and the thick darkness, in a loud voice. And He added no more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
Deuteronomy 5:23	And it came to pass when you⁺ heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, and while the mountain was burning with the fire, that you⁺ came near to me—all the heads of your⁺ tribes and your⁺ elders,
Deuteronomy 5:24	and you⁺ said, “Surely YHWH our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the midst of the fire. This day we have seen that God speaks with man, and he has lived.
Deuteronomy 5:25	And now why should we die? For this great fire will consume us if we add to hear the voice of YHWH our God anymore, and we shall die.
Deuteronomy 5:26	For who of all flesh [is] he who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we, and lived?
Deuteronomy 5:27	Draw near, you, and hear all that YHWH our God may say. And you tell to us all that YHWH our God says to you, and we will listen and do [it].”
Deuteronomy 5:28	And YHWH heard the voice of your⁺ words when you⁺ spoke to me, and YHWH said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people that they have spoken to you. They are right [in] all that they have spoken.
Deuteronomy 5:29	O that their heart had been given thus, to fear Me and to keep all My commandments all the days, so that it may be well with them and with their sons forever!
Deuteronomy 5:30	Go and say to them, ‘Return to your⁺ tents.’
Deuteronomy 5:31	And you, stand here by Me and I will speak to you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances that you shall teach them, and they will do [them] in the land that I am giving to them to possess.”
Deuteronomy 5:32	And you⁺ shall take heed to do as YHWH your⁺ God has commanded you⁺; you⁺ shall not turn aside to the right or to the left.
Deuteronomy 5:33	In all the ways that YHWH your⁺ God has commanded you⁺, you⁺ shall walk, so that you⁺ may live, and [that it may be] well with you⁺, and [that] you⁺ may prolong [your] days in the land that you⁺ shall possess.
Deuteronomy 6:1	And this [is] the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances that YHWH your⁺ God has commanded to teach you⁺ to do in the land that you⁺ are passing over there to possess,
Deuteronomy 6:2	so that you may fear YHWH your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I am commanding you—you and your son and the son of your son—all the days of your life, that your days may be prolonged.
Deuteronomy 6:3	Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to do [it], that it may be well with you and that you⁺ may multiply greatly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy 6:4	Hear, O Israel: YHWH our God, YHWH [is] One.
Deuteronomy 6:5	And you shall love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Deuteronomy 6:6	And these words that I am commanding you today shall be upon your heart.
Deuteronomy 6:7	And you shall teach them diligently to your children and talk of them in your sitting in your house and in your walking by the way and in your lying down and in your getting up.
Deuteronomy 6:8	And you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
Deuteronomy 6:9	And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house, and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:10	And it shall be, when YHWH your God brings you into the land that He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you cities large and beautiful that you did not build,
Deuteronomy 6:11	and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and wells dug that you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, and you have eaten and are satisfied,
Deuteronomy 6:12	[then] take heed to it lest you forget YHWH who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Deuteronomy 6:13	YHWH your God you shall fear, and Him you shall serve, and by His name you shall swear.
Deuteronomy 6:14	You⁺ shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who [are] all around you⁺,
Deuteronomy 6:15	for a jealous God [is] YHWH your God among you—lest the anger of YHWH your God be kindled against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 6:16	You⁺ shall not test YHWH your⁺ God, as you⁺ tested [Him] in Massah.
Deuteronomy 6:17	You⁺ shall diligently keep the commandments of YHWH your⁺ God, and His testimonies and His statutes that He has commanded you.
Deuteronomy 6:18	And you shall do right and good in the eyes of YHWH, that it may be well with you, that you may go in and possess the good land that YHWH swore to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 6:19	to cast out all your enemies from before you as YHWH has spoken.
Deuteronomy 6:20	When your son asks you hereafter, saying, “What [are] the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that YHWH our God has commanded you⁺?”
Deuteronomy 6:21	Then you shall say to your son, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deuteronomy 6:22	And YHWH showed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes.
Deuteronomy 6:23	And He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in to give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.
Deuteronomy 6:24	And YHWH commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear YHWH our God, for good to us all the time, to keep us alive as this day.
Deuteronomy 6:25	And it will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all this command before the face of YHWH our God, as He has commanded us.”
Deuteronomy 7:1	When YHWH your God brings you into the land that you are going in to possess, and He has cast out many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite—seven nations greater and mightier than you—
Deuteronomy 7:2	and YHWH your God delivers them over to you, then you shall strike them down—you must devote them to complete destruction. You shall not make a covenant with them and you shall not show mercy to them.
Deuteronomy 7:3	And you shall not join in marriage with them; your daughter you shall not give to their son, and their daughter you shall not take for your son.
Deuteronomy 7:4	For they will turn away your sons from following Me, and they will serve other gods; and the anger of YHWH will be kindled against you⁺, and He will destroy you swiftly.
Deuteronomy 7:5	But rather thus you⁺ shall deal with them: Their altars you⁺ shall break down, and their pillars you⁺ shall smash, and their Asherah poles you⁺ shall cut down, and their carved images you⁺ shall burn with the fire.
Deuteronomy 7:6	For a holy people you [are] to YHWH your God; YHWH your God has chosen you to be for Himself a special treasure, a people above all the peoples that are on the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 7:7	Not because you⁺ were more numerous than any other of the peoples did YHWH set His love on you⁺ and choose you⁺; for you⁺ [were] the least of all the peoples,
Deuteronomy 7:8	but [it is] from the love of YHWH [for] you⁺ and from His keeping of the oath that He swore to your⁺ fathers, [that] YHWH has brought you⁺ out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 7:9	And you shall know that YHWH your God, He [is] God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant of loving devotion for those loving Him and keeping His commandments for a thousand generations.
Deuteronomy 7:10	And He repays those who hate Him to their faces, to destroy them. He delays not to him who hates Him—to his face He will repay him.
Deuteronomy 7:11	And you shall keep the commandment and the statutes and the ordinances that I command you today to do.
Deuteronomy 7:12	And it shall come to pass, because you⁺ listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that YHWH your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving devotion that He swore to your fathers.
Deuteronomy 7:13	And He has loved you and blessed you and multiplied you, and He has blessed the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle, and the offspring of your flock in the land that He swore to your fathers to give to you.
Deuteronomy 7:14	Blessed you shall be above all peoples; there shall not be among you a barren man or barren woman—or among your livestock.
Deuteronomy 7:15	And YHWH has taken away from you all sickness, and all the terrible diseases of Egypt that you have known He does not put on you, and He has put [them] on all those hating you.
Deuteronomy 7:16	And you shall destroy all the peoples whom YHWH your God will deliver over to you. Your eye shall not have pity on them, nor shall you serve their gods, for it [is] a snare to you.
Deuteronomy 7:17	If you should say in your heart, “These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?”
Deuteronomy 7:18	You shall not be afraid of them; you must surely remember what YHWH your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:
Deuteronomy 7:19	The great trials that your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which YHWH your God brought you out. So shall do YHWH your God to all the peoples of whom you are afraid, before their faces.
Deuteronomy 7:20	Moreover, YHWH your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left and who hide themselves from you have perished.
Deuteronomy 7:21	You shall not be terrified of them, for YHWH your God [is] among you—a God great and awesome.
Deuteronomy 7:22	And YHWH your God has cast out these nations before you little by little; you are not able to destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become [too] numerous for you.
Deuteronomy 7:23	And YHWH your God will deliver them over to you, and He will confuse them with great confusion until they are destroyed.
Deuteronomy 7:24	And He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under the heavens; no man shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.
Deuteronomy 7:25	The carved images of their gods you⁺ shall burn with the fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it; for it [is] an abomination to YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 7:26	And you shall not bring an abomination into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and you shall utterly abhor it, for it is devoted to destruction.
Deuteronomy 8:1	Every commandment that I command you today, you⁺ must be careful to do, so that you⁺ may live and multiply and go in and possess the land that YHWH has sworn to your⁺ fathers.
Deuteronomy 8:2	And you shall remember the whole way that YHWH your God led you this forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you to know what [was] in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
Deuteronomy 8:3	And He humbled you and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, so that He might make you know that the man shall not live by bread alone; but by every [word] that proceeds from the mouth of YHWH the man shall live.
Deuteronomy 8:4	Your garments did not wear out from you, and your foot did not swell this forty years.
Deuteronomy 8:5	And you shall know in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, YHWH your God disciplines you.
Deuteronomy 8:6	And you shall keep the commandments of YHWH your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Deuteronomy 8:7	For YHWH your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs flowing out of valleys and hills;
Deuteronomy 8:8	a land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
Deuteronomy 8:9	a land in which without scarcity you will eat bread; you will not lack any in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and from the hills you can dig copper.
Deuteronomy 8:10	And you will eat and be satisfied; and you will bless YHWH your God for the good land that He has given you.
Deuteronomy 8:11	Take heed to it that you do not forget YHWH your God, by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statutes, which I command you today—
Deuteronomy 8:12	lest you eat and be satisfied and build and inhabit beautiful houses;
Deuteronomy 8:13	and your herd and your flock multiply, and your silver and your gold multiply to you, and all that [is] to you is multiplied;
Deuteronomy 8:14	and your heart is lifted up, and you forget YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
Deuteronomy 8:15	who led you in the great and the terrible wilderness, [with] fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the rock of flint;
Deuteronomy 8:16	who fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers did not know, so that He might humble you, that He might test you, to do you good in the end;
Deuteronomy 8:17	and you say in your heart, “My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.”
Deuteronomy 8:18	And you shall remember YHWH your God, for He gives you power to gain wealth, that He may establish His covenant that He swore to your fathers, as [it is] this day.
Deuteronomy 8:19	And it shall come to pass, if you ever forget YHWH your God and follow after other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you⁺ this day that you⁺ will surely perish.
Deuteronomy 8:20	As the nations that YHWH destroys before you⁺, so you⁺ shall perish, because you⁺ would not listen to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God.
Deuteronomy 9:1	Hear, O Israel! Today you are passing over the Jordan to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified to the heavens,
Deuteronomy 9:2	a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and you have heard: “Who can stand before the faces of the sons of Anak?”
Deuteronomy 9:3	And you shall know today that YHWH your God [is] He who is passing over before you [as] a consuming fire; He will destroy them, and He will bring them down before you. And you shall drive them out and destroy them quickly, as YHWH has spoken to you.
Deuteronomy 9:4	Do not speak in your heart, after YHWH your God has cast them out before you, saying, “Because of my righteousness YHWH has brought me in to possess this land.” For the wickedness of these nations, YHWH is driving them out from before you.
Deuteronomy 9:5	Not in your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations YHWH your God is driving them out from before you, so that He may fulfill the word that YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy 9:6	And you shall know that not in your righteousness is YHWH your God giving you this good land to possess it; for you [are] a people stiff of neck.
Deuteronomy 9:7	Remember—do not forget—how you provoked YHWH your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you⁺ came to this place, you⁺ have been rebellious against YHWH.
Deuteronomy 9:8	And in Horeb you⁺ provoked YHWH to wrath, and YHWH was angry with you⁺ to destroy you⁺.
Deuteronomy 9:9	In my going up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that YHWH made with you⁺, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. Bread I did not eat and water I did not drink.
Deuteronomy 9:10	And YHWH delivered to me two tablets of stone, written with the finger of God, and on them [were] all the words that YHWH had spoken to you⁺ on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Deuteronomy 9:11	And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights [that] YHWH gave to me two tablets of stone, tablets of the covenant.
Deuteronomy 9:12	And YHWH said to me, “Arise, go down quickly from here; for your people have acted corruptly, whom you brought out of Egypt. They have turned aside quickly from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”
Deuteronomy 9:13	And YHWH spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and indeed it [is] a people stiff of neck.
Deuteronomy 9:14	Desist from Me, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under the heavens. And I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”
Deuteronomy 9:15	And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with the fire, and the two tablets of the covenant [were] in my two hands.
Deuteronomy 9:16	And I looked, and behold, you⁺ had sinned against YHWH your⁺ God; you⁺ had made for yourselves a molten calf; you⁺ had turned aside quickly from the way that YHWH had commanded you⁺.
Deuteronomy 9:17	And I took the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands, and I broke them before your⁺ eyes.
Deuteronomy 9:18	And I fell down before the face of YHWH, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; bread I did not eat and water I did not drink, because of all your⁺ sin that you⁺ committed in doing the evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke Him to anger.
Deuteronomy 9:19	For I was afraid of the anger and the fury with which YHWH was angry with you⁺, to destroy you⁺. And YHWH listened to me also at that time.
Deuteronomy 9:20	And against Aaron YHWH was very angry [and] would have destroyed him. And I prayed also for Aaron at that time.
Deuteronomy 9:21	And your⁺ sin that you⁺ had made—the calf—I took and burned it with the fire, and crushed it [and] ground [it] well, until that it was as fine as dust; and I threw its dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
Deuteronomy 9:22	And at Taberah and Massah and at Kibroth-hattaavah you⁺ provoked YHWH to wrath.
Deuteronomy 9:23	And likewise when YHWH sent you⁺ from Kadesh-barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land that I have given to you⁺,” you⁺ rebelled against the commandment of YHWH your⁺ God, and you⁺ did not believe Him and you did not obey His voice.
Deuteronomy 9:24	You⁺ have been Rebellious against YHWH from the day that I knew you⁺.
Deuteronomy 9:25	And I prostrated myself before the face of YHWH forty days and forty nights, when I kept prostrating myself because YHWH had said He would destroy you⁺.
Deuteronomy 9:26	And I prayed to YHWH and said, “O Lord YHWH, do not destroy Your people and Your inheritance, whom You have redeemed through Your greatness, whom You have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deuteronomy 9:27	Be mindful of Your servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; turn not to the stubbornness of this people, and to their wickedness, and to their sin,
Deuteronomy 9:28	lest the land from which You brought us should say, ‘Because YHWH was not able to bring them to the land that He promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
Deuteronomy 9:29	And they [are] Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your mighty power and by Your outstretched arm.”
Deuteronomy 10:1	At that time, YHWH said to me, “Hew for yourself two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to Me on the mountain, and make yourself an ark of wood.
Deuteronomy 10:2	And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets that you broke, and you shall put them in the ark.”
Deuteronomy 10:3	And I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up the mountain, and the two tablets [were] in my hand.
Deuteronomy 10:4	And He wrote on the tablets, according to the first writing, the Ten Words that YHWH had spoken to you⁺ in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly. And YHWH gave them to me.
Deuteronomy 10:5	And I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the ark that I had made. And they are there, as YHWH commanded me.
Deuteronomy 10:6	And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died, and he was buried there. And Eleazar his son acted as priest in his stead.
Deuteronomy 10:7	From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of rivers of water.
Deuteronomy 10:8	At that time YHWH separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of YHWH, to stand before the face of YHWH to minister to Him, and to bless in His name, to this day.
Deuteronomy 10:9	Upon thus Levi has no portion or inheritance with his brothers; YHWH is his inheritance, as YHWH your God spoke to him.
Deuteronomy 10:10	And I stayed in the mountain, as at the first days, forty days and forty nights. And YHWH heard me also at that time; [and] YHWH chose not to destroy you.
Deuteronomy 10:11	And YHWH said to me, “Arise, begin in journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.”
Deuteronomy 10:12	And now, O Israel, what does YHWH your God require of you except but to fear YHWH your God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deuteronomy 10:13	[and] to keep the commandments of YHWH, and His statutes that I command you today for good to you?
Deuteronomy 10:14	Behold, unto YHWH your God [are] the heavens and the heavens of the heavens, the earth and all that [is] in it.
Deuteronomy 10:15	Yet in your fathers YHWH delighted to love them, and He chose their seed after them, you⁺, above all peoples, as [it is] this day.
Deuteronomy 10:16	And you⁺ shall circumcise the foreskin of your⁺ heart, and be not stiff-necked anymore.
Deuteronomy 10:17	For YHWH your⁺ God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, God, the great, mighty, and awesome, who regards not persons nor takes a bribe.
Deuteronomy 10:18	He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and He loves the sojourner, giving to him food and clothing.
Deuteronomy 10:19	And you⁺ shall love the sojourner, for you⁺ were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:20	YHWH your God you shall fear; Him you shall serve, and to Him you shall hold fast, and by His name you shall swear.
Deuteronomy 10:21	He [is] your praise and He [is] your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your eyes have seen.
Deuteronomy 10:22	With seventy persons Your fathers went down to Egypt, and now YHWH your God has made you like the stars of the heavens in multitude.
Deuteronomy 11:1	And you shall love YHWH your God, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His ordinances, and His commandments, all the days.
Deuteronomy 11:2	And know today that [it is] not your⁺ children who have known, and who have seen the discipline of YHWH your⁺ God, His greatness, and His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm,
Deuteronomy 11:3	and His signs and His acts that He did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to all his land,
Deuteronomy 11:4	and what He did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and their chariots—how the waters of the Red Sea He caused to flow upon them as they pursued you⁺, and [how] YHWH has destroyed them to this day,
Deuteronomy 11:5	and what He did for you⁺ in the wilderness until you⁺ came to this place,
Deuteronomy 11:6	and what He did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, son of Reuben—how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses and their tents and every living thing that [was] was at their feet, in the midst of all Israel.
Deuteronomy 11:7	But your⁺ eyes have seen every great act of YHWH that He did.
Deuteronomy 11:8	And you⁺ shall keep every commandment that I command you today, that you⁺ may be strong and go in and possess the land, which you⁺ are passing over to possess it,
Deuteronomy 11:9	and so that you⁺ may prolong [your] days in the land that YHWH swore to your⁺ fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy 11:10	For the land that you are going in to possess, it is not like the land of Egypt, where you⁺ have come from, where you sowed your seed and watered [it] by foot as for a garden of herbs.
Deuteronomy 11:11	And the land that you⁺ are passing over to possess [is] a land of hills and valleys—from the rain of the heavens it drinks water—
Deuteronomy 11:12	a land for which YHWH your God cares; the eyes of YHWH your God [are] always on it from the beginning of the year and to the very end of the year.
Deuteronomy 11:13	And it shall come to pass, if you⁺ listen carefully to My commandments that I am commanding you⁺ today, to love YHWH your⁺ God, and to serve Him with all your⁺ heart and with all your⁺ soul,
Deuteronomy 11:14	then I will give the rain for your⁺ land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
Deuteronomy 11:15	and I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may eat and be satisfied.
Deuteronomy 11:16	Take heed to yourselves, lest your⁺ heart be deceived and you⁺ turn aside and serve other gods and worship them,
Deuteronomy 11:17	and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you⁺ and He shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, and the land not yield produce, and you⁺ perish quickly from the good land that YHWH is giving to you⁺.
Deuteronomy 11:18	And you⁺ shall place these words of mine in your⁺ heart and in your⁺ soul, and bind them as a sign on your⁺ hands, and they shall be as frontlets between your⁺ eyes.
Deuteronomy 11:19	And you⁺ shall teach them to your⁺ children, speaking of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up.
Deuteronomy 11:20	And you shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
Deuteronomy 11:21	that your⁺ days may be multiplied—and the days of your⁺ children—in the land that YHWH swore to your⁺ fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens are above the earth.
Deuteronomy 11:22	For if you⁺ carefully keep all this command that I am commanding you⁺ to do, to love YHWH your⁺ God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him,
Deuteronomy 11:23	then YHWH will drive out all these nations from before you⁺, and you⁺ will dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.
Deuteronomy 11:24	Every place where the sole of your⁺ foot treads in it shall be yours⁺, from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, and to the Western Sea, shall be your⁺ territory.
Deuteronomy 11:25	No man shall be able to stand against you⁺. The terror of you⁺ and the fear of you⁺ YHWH your⁺ God will put upon the face of all the land where you⁺ tread in it, as He has said to you⁺.
Deuteronomy 11:26	See, I set before you⁺ today a blessing and a curse—
Deuteronomy 11:27	the blessing, if you⁺ listen to the commandments of YHWH your⁺ God that I command you⁺ today,
Deuteronomy 11:28	and the curse, if you⁺ do not listen to the commandments of YHWH your⁺ God and turn aside from the way that I command you⁺ today, to go after other gods that you⁺ have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:29	And it shall come to pass, when YHWH your God has brought you into the land that you are going in to possess, that you shall put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Deuteronomy 11:30	Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, toward the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite dwelling in the plain opposite Gilgal beside the Oak of Moreh?
Deuteronomy 11:31	For you⁺ are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving to you⁺, and you⁺ will possess it and dwell in it.
Deuteronomy 11:32	And you⁺ shall be careful to observe all the statutes and ordinances that I set before you⁺ today.
Deuteronomy 12:1	These [are] the statutes and ordinances that you⁺ shall be careful to observe in the land that YHWH, God of your fathers, is giving to you to possess all the days that you⁺ live on the earth.
Deuteronomy 12:2	You⁺ shall utterly destroy all the places where the nations that you⁺ shall dispossess served their gods—on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Deuteronomy 12:3	And you⁺ shall break down their altars and smash their pillars, and their Asherah poles you⁺ shall burn with the fire, and the carved images of their gods you⁺ shall cut down, and you⁺ shall destroy their names from that place.
Deuteronomy 12:4	You⁺ shall not do thus to YHWH your⁺ God.
Deuteronomy 12:5	For rather, unto the place where YHWH your⁺ God chooses out of all your⁺ tribes to establish His Name as His dwelling, you⁺ shall seek and you shall go there.
Deuteronomy 12:6	And you⁺ shall bring there your⁺ burnt offerings, and your⁺ sacrifices, and your⁺ tithes, and the contributions of your⁺ hands, and your⁺ vowed offerings, and your⁺ freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your⁺ herds and your⁺ flocks.
Deuteronomy 12:7	And you⁺ shall eat there before the face of YHWH your⁺ God, and you⁺ shall rejoice in all the sending out of your⁺ hands—you⁺ and your⁺ households—with which YHWH your God has blessed you.
Deuteronomy 12:8	You⁺ shall not do at all as we are doing here today—every man, whatever [is] right in his own eyes.
Deuteronomy 12:9	For you⁺ have not come as yet to the rest and the inheritance that YHWH your God is giving to you.
Deuteronomy 12:10	And you⁺ will pass over the Jordan and dwell in the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving you⁺ to inherit, and He will give rest to you⁺ from all your⁺ enemies round about, so that you⁺ dwell in safety,
Deuteronomy 12:11	and there will be the place where YHWH your⁺ God chooses for His Name to dwell in it there; there you⁺ shall bring all that I command you⁺—your⁺ burnt offerings, and your⁺ sacrifices, your⁺ tithes, and the contributions of your⁺ hands, and all your choice offerings that you⁺ vow to YHWH.
Deuteronomy 12:12	And you⁺ shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your⁺ God—you⁺, and your⁺ sons, and your⁺ daughters, and your⁺ menservants, and your⁺ maidservants, and the Levite who [is] within your⁺ gates, since he has no portion or inheritance with you⁺.
Deuteronomy 12:13	Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see.
Deuteronomy 12:14	Indeed rather, in the place that YHWH chooses in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
Deuteronomy 12:15	Nevertheless, whatever your soul desires, you may slaughter and eat flesh according to the blessing of YHWH your God that He has given you within all your gates. The unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle or the deer.
Deuteronomy 12:16	Only the blood you⁺ shall not eat; you shall pour it on the earth like water.
Deuteronomy 12:17	You must not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or your new wine, or your oil, or of the firstborn of your herd or your flock, or of any of your offerings that you vow, or of your freewill offerings, or of the contribution of your hand.
Deuteronomy 12:18	Indeed rather, before the face of YHWH your God you must eat them in the place that YHWH your God in it chooses—you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite who [is] within your gates; and you shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your God in all to which you put your hands.
Deuteronomy 12:19	Take heed to yourself that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your land.
Deuteronomy 12:20	When YHWH your God enlarges your border as He has promised you, and you say, “Let me eat flesh,” because you long to eat flesh, you may eat flesh of all the desire of your soul.
Deuteronomy 12:21	If the place is too far from you where YHWH your God chooses to put His Name, you may slaughter from your herd and from your flock that which YHWH has given to you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat within your gates all the desire of your heart.
Deuteronomy 12:22	Indeed, as the gazelle and the deer are eaten, so you may eat them. The unclean and the clean alike may eat them.
Deuteronomy 12:23	Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is the life, and you may not eat the life with the flesh.
Deuteronomy 12:24	You shall not eat it; you shall pour it on the earth like water.
Deuteronomy 12:25	You shall not eat it, that it may go well with you and with your sons after you when you do what [is] right in the eyes of YHWH.
Deuteronomy 12:26	Only the holy things that are to you, and your vowed offerings, you shall take and go to the place that YHWH chooses.
Deuteronomy 12:27	And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of YHWH your God. And the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of YHWH your God, and you shall eat the flesh.
Deuteronomy 12:28	Observe and obey all these words that I command you, that it may go well with you and with your sons after you, even to forever, when you do [what is] good and right in the eyes of YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 12:29	When YHWH your God cuts off the nations that you go to dispossess from before you, and you displace them and dwell in their land,
Deuteronomy 12:30	take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them after they are destroyed from before you, that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, “How did these nations serve their gods, and I also will do likewise?”
Deuteronomy 12:31	You shall not do thus to YHWH your God, for every abomination to YHWH, which He hates, they have done to their gods. For even their sons and daughters they burn in the fire to their gods.
Deuteronomy 12:32	The whole thing, whatever I command you⁺, be careful to observe it. You shall not add to it, nor take away from it.
Deuteronomy 13:1	If there arises from among you a prophet or a dreamer of a dream, and he gives to you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:2	and the sign or the wonder comes to pass of which he spoke to you, saying, “Let us go after other gods (that you have not known) and let us serve them,”
Deuteronomy 13:3	you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of the dream. For YHWH your⁺ God is testing you⁺, to know whether you⁺ love YHWH your⁺ God with all your⁺ heart and with all your⁺ soul.
Deuteronomy 13:4	After YHWH your⁺ God you⁺ shall walk, and Him you⁺ shall fear, and His commandments you⁺ shall keep, and His voice you⁺ shall obey, and Him you⁺ shall serve, and to Him you⁺ shall hold fast.
Deuteronomy 13:5	And that prophet or that dreamer of the dream, he shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn [you] away from YHWH your⁺ God—who brought you⁺ out from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery—to drive you out of the way that YHWH your God commanded you to walk in it. And you shall put away the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 13:6	If your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is as your own soul, entices you secretly, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known—you and your fathers—
Deuteronomy 13:7	of the gods of the peoples who [are] all around you⁺, near to you or far off from you, from the end of the earth and to the end of the earth),
Deuteronomy 13:8	you shall not consent to him nor listen to him. Nor shall your eye pity him, nor shall you spare him, nor conceal him,
Deuteronomy 13:9	but you must surely kill him. Your hand shall be the first against him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.
Deuteronomy 13:10	And you shall stone him with stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from YHWH your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
Deuteronomy 13:11	And all Israel shall hear and fear, and not add to do such as this wickedness among you.
Deuteronomy 13:12	If you hear someone in one of your cities that YHWH your God gives you to dwell there, one saying,
Deuteronomy 13:13	men, the sons of worthlessness, have gone out from among you and enticed those dwelling in their city, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (that you⁺ have not known),
Deuteronomy 13:14	then you shall inquire, and search out, and ask diligently, and behold, it is true, the thing is established—this abomination [that] has been done among you—
Deuteronomy 13:15	you must surely strike those dwelling in that city with the mouth of the sword, utterly destroying it and all that is in it, and its livestock, with the mouth of the sword.
Deuteronomy 13:16	And all its plunder you shall gather into the middle of the street, and burn with the fire the city and all its plunder completely before YHWH your God. And it shall be a heap forever; it shall not be built again.
Deuteronomy 13:17	And in your hand you shall not cling to any of the accursed things, so that YHWH will turn from the burning of His anger, and show you mercy, and have compassion on you, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 13:18	because you have listened to the voice of YHWH your God, to keep all His commandments that I command you today, to do [what is] right in the eyes of YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 14:1	You⁺ [are] sons of YHWH your⁺ God; you⁺ shall not cut yourselves, nor make a baldness between your⁺ eyes on behalf of the dead.
Deuteronomy 14:2	For you [are] a holy people to YHWH your God, and YHWH has chosen you to be for Himself a people, a special treasure above all the peoples who [are] on the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy 14:3	You shall not eat any detestable thing.
Deuteronomy 14:4	This [is] the animal that you⁺ may eat: The ox, a lamb of the flock, and the goat,
Deuteronomy 14:5	the deer, and the gazelle, and the roe deer, and the wild goat, and the ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
Deuteronomy 14:6	And every animal dividing the hoof and having split the cleft into two hooves, bringing up the cud, among the animals, you⁺ may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:7	Nevertheless, this you⁺ shall not eat of those bringing up the cud, and of those dividing the cloven hoof: The camel, and the hare, and the rock badger, for they are bringing up the cud, and the hoof have not divided; they [are] unclean for you⁺.
Deuteronomy 14:8	And the swine, for it is dividing the hoof and not [bringing up] the cud. It [is] unclean for you⁺. Their flesh you⁺ shall not eat, and their carcass you⁺ shall not touch.
Deuteronomy 14:9	This you⁺ may eat of all that [are] in the waters: All that have fins and scales you⁺ may eat,
Deuteronomy 14:10	and whatever does not have fins and scales you⁺ shall not eat; it [is] unclean for you⁺.
Deuteronomy 14:11	All clean birds you⁺ may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:12	And these [are] they of which you⁺ shall not eat: The eagle, and the vulture, and the buzzard,
Deuteronomy 14:13	and the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:14	and every raven after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:15	and the daughter of the ostrich, and the screech owl, and the gull, and the hawk after its kind,
Deuteronomy 14:16	the little owl, and the screech owl, and the white owl,
Deuteronomy 14:17	and the desert owl, and the osprey, and the cormorant,
Deuteronomy 14:18	and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Deuteronomy 14:19	And every swarming thing that flies is unclean for you⁺; they shall not be eaten.
Deuteronomy 14:20	All clean birds you⁺ may eat.
Deuteronomy 14:21	You⁺ shall not eat of any carcass; you may give it to the sojourner who [is] within your gates that he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you [are] a holy people to YHWH your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.
Deuteronomy 14:22	You must surely tithe all the increase of your seed that the field produces year by year.
Deuteronomy 14:23	And you shall eat before the face of YHWH your God, in the place where He chooses [for] His Name to dwell, the tithe of your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, and of the firstborn of your herd and your flock, so that you may learn to fear YHWH your God all the days.
Deuteronomy 14:24	But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry [it], [or] if the place is too far from you where YHWH your God chooses to put His Name when YHWH your God has blessed you,
Deuteronomy 14:25	then you shall exchange [it] for silver, and take the silver in your hand, and go to the place that YHWH your God chooses in it.
Deuteronomy 14:26	And you shall spend the silver for whatever your soul desires, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for anything that your soul desires; and you shall eat there before the face of YHWH your God, and you shall rejoice—you and your house.
Deuteronomy 14:27	And the Levite who [is] within your gates you shall not forsake, for unto him [is] not a portion or inheritance with you.
Deuteronomy 14:28	At the end of three years you shall bring out all the tithe of your produce of that year and store [it] up within your gates.
Deuteronomy 14:29	And the Levite may come—for unto him [is] not a portion or inheritance with you—and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow who [is] within your gates. And they shall eat and be satisfied, that YHWH your God may bless you in all the work of your hand that you do.
Deuteronomy 15:1	At the end of seven years you shall grant a release.
Deuteronomy 15:2	And this [is] the form of the release: Every owner of a loan shall release his hand of that he has lent to his neighbor; he shall not require [it] of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called a release unto YHWH.
Deuteronomy 15:3	Of a foreigner you may require [it], and that which is owed by your brother your hand shall release.
Deuteronomy 15:4	The end [is], however, [that] there shall be among you no poor, for YHWH will greatly bless you in the land that YHWH your God is giving you [as] an inheritance to possess—
Deuteronomy 15:5	only if you listen carefully to the voice of YHWH your God, with care to observe all this command that I command you today.
Deuteronomy 15:6	For YHWH your God will bless you as He has spoken to you, and you shall lend to many nations, and you shall not borrow; and you shall reign over many nations, and over you they shall not reign.
Deuteronomy 15:7	If there is among you a poor man of one of your brothers within one of the gates in your land that YHWH your God is giving to you, you shall not strengthen your heart and not shut your hand from your poor brother.
Deuteronomy 15:8	But you shall surely open your hand to him, and you shall freely loan him what is sufficient for his need, whatever is lacking unto him.
Deuteronomy 15:9	Beware for yourself, lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, “The seventh year is near, the year of release,” and your eye is evil against your poor brother, and you give to him nothing, and he cries out against you to YHWH, and it becomes sin among you.
Deuteronomy 15:10	You shall give generously to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing YHWH your God will bless you in all your works and in all the sending out of your hand.
Deuteronomy 15:11	For the poor will never cease from the midst of the land; upon thus I command you, saying [that] you shall open wide your hand to your brother, to your poor, and to your needy in your land.
Deuteronomy 15:12	If your brother is sold to you, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, and he has served you six years, in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you.
Deuteronomy 15:13	And when you send him away free from you, you must not send him emptily.
Deuteronomy 15:14	You shall generously furnish him from your flock, and from your threshing floor, and from your winepress; that with which YHWH your God has blessed you, you shall give to him.
Deuteronomy 15:15	And you shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and YHWH your God redeemed you. Upon thus I command you this thing today.
Deuteronomy 15:16	And it shall come to pass [that] if he says to you, ‘I will not go away from you,’ because he loves you and your house, since [it is] good to him with you,
Deuteronomy 15:17	then you shall take an awl and thrust [it] through his ear and to the door, and he shall be your servant forever; and to your maidservant you shall do likewise.
Deuteronomy 15:18	It shall not seem hard in your eyes when you send him away free from you, for he has been worth double of a hireling in serving you six years; and YHWH your God will bless you in all that you do.
Deuteronomy 15:19	All the firstborn that come from your herd and your flock—the male—you shall sanctify to YHWH your God. You shall not do work with the firstborn of your herd, nor shear the firstborn of your flock.
Deuteronomy 15:20	Before the face of YHWH your God you shall eat [it] year by year in the place that YHWH chooses—You and your house.
Deuteronomy 15:21	But if there is in it a blemish—lameness or blindness, any serious blemish—you shall not sacrifice it to YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 15:22	Within your gates you may eat it, the unclean and the clean alike, as a gazelle or a deer.
Deuteronomy 15:23	Only its blood you shall not eat; you shall pour it on the ground like water.
Deuteronomy 16:1	Observe the month of Abib and keep the Passover to YHWH your God, for in the month of Abib YHWH your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
Deuteronomy 16:2	And you shall sacrifice the Passover to YHWH your God, of the flock or of the herd, in the place where YHWH chooses for His Name to dwell there.
Deuteronomy 16:3	You shall not eat leavened bread with it; seven days you shall eat with it unleavened [bread], the bread of affliction—for in haste you came out of the land of Egypt—so that you may remember the day of your coming out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.
Deuteronomy 16:4	And there shall not be seen among you leaven in all your territory seven days, nor shall remain overnight [any] of the flesh that you sacrifice in the evening on the first day until the morning.
Deuteronomy 16:5	You may not sacrifice the Passover within one of your gates that YHWH your God gives you.
Deuteronomy 16:6	For only at the place where YHWH your God chooses for His Name to dwell, there you shall sacrifice the Passover in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at the time you came out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 16:7	And you shall roast it and eat it in the place that YHWH your God chooses, and you shall turn in the morning and go to your tents.
Deuteronomy 16:8	Six days you shall eat unleavened [bread], and on the seventh day [is] a sacred assembly to YHWH your God; you shall do no work.
Deuteronomy 16:9	Seven weeks you shall count for yourself—from beginning the sickle among the grain you shall begin to count seven weeks.
Deuteronomy 16:10	And you shall keep the Feast of Weeks to YHWH your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as YHWH your God blesses you.
Deuteronomy 16:11	And you shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your God—you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite who [is] within your gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow who [is] among you, at the place where YHWH your God chooses for His Name to dwell there.
Deuteronomy 16:12	And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful and do these statutes.
Deuteronomy 16:13	You shall observe the Feast of Booths seven days, when you have gathered from your threshing floor and from your winepress.
Deuteronomy 16:14	And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow who [is] within your gates.
Deuteronomy 16:15	Seven days you shall celebrate a feast to YHWH your God in the place that YHWH chooses, because YHWH your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
Deuteronomy 16:16	Three times in a year all your males shall appear before the face of YHWH your God in the place that He chooses: At the Feast of the Unleavened, and at the Feast of Weeks, and at the Feast of Booths. And they shall not appear before the face of YHWH emptily—
Deuteronomy 16:17	a man as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH your God that He has given you.
Deuteronomy 16:18	You shall appoint judges and officers to you within all your gates that YHWH your God gives to you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.
Deuteronomy 16:19	You shall not twist justice; you shall not show partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
Deuteronomy 16:20	Justice [and] justice [alone] you shall pursue, that you may live and inherit the land that YHWH your God is giving to you.
Deuteronomy 16:21	You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah pole of any tree near the altar of YHWH your God that you build for yourself.
Deuteronomy 16:22	And you shall not set up a sacred pillar, which YHWH your God hates.
Deuteronomy 17:1	You shall not sacrifice to YHWH your God a bull or sheep that has in it a blemish, any serious flaw; for it [is] an abomination to YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 17:2	If there is found among you in one of your gates that YHWH your God is giving to you a man or a woman who has been wicked in the eyes of YHWH your God in transgressing His covenant,
Deuteronomy 17:3	and who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, and the sun or the moon or any of the host of the heavens that I have not commanded,
Deuteronomy 17:4	and it is told to you and you hear [it], you shall inquire diligently. And if indeed true the thing is established—this abomination has been done in Israel—
Deuteronomy 17:5	then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has committed this wicked thing to your gates—the man or the woman—and you shall stone them with stones and they shall die.
Deuteronomy 17:6	On the testimony of two witnesses or three witnesses he must surely be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness.
Deuteronomy 17:7	The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and the hands of all the people afterward. And you shall put away the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 17:8	If a matter is too hard for you to judge—between guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another judgment, or between one punishment or another punishment, matters of controversies within your gates—you shall arise and go up to the place that YHWH your God chooses.
Deuteronomy 17:9	And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge who will be there in those days, and you shall inquire. And they shall pronounce upon you the word of the judgment.
Deuteronomy 17:10	And you shall do according to the mouth of the word that they pronounce upon you, in that place that YHWH chooses, and you shall be careful to do according to all that they instruct you.
Deuteronomy 17:11	According to the sentence of the law that they instruct you, and according to the judgment that they tell to you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside from the word that they pronounce to you, [to] the right or [to] the left.
Deuteronomy 17:12	And the man who acts proudly and will not listen to the priest who stands there to serve YHWH your God, or to the judge, that man must die, and you shall put away the evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy 17:13	And all the people shall hear and be afraid and not act proudly anymore.
Deuteronomy 17:14	When you come into the land that YHWH your God is giving you, and you possess it and dwell in it and say, “I will set over myself a king like all the nations that [are] around me,”
Deuteronomy 17:15	you shall surely set over yourself a king whom YHWH your God chooses; by him from among your brothers you shall set over yourself a king; you may not set over yourself a foreigner, a man who is not your brother.
Deuteronomy 17:16	Only, he shall not multiply for himself horses nor cause to return the people to Egypt so as to multiply horses, for YHWH has said to you⁺, ‘You⁺ shall not return this way again.’
Deuteronomy 17:17	And he shall not multiply for himself wives, and his heart shall not turn away, and silver and gold he shall not multiply for himself greatly.
Deuteronomy 17:18	And it shall come to pass, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write for himself a copy of this law in a book from the one before the faces of the priests, the Levites.
Deuteronomy 17:19	And it shall come to pass with him, and he shall read it all the days of his life, that he may learn to fear YHWH his God by carefully observing all the words of this law and doing these statutes,
Deuteronomy 17:20	that his heart may not be lifted above his brothers, and that he may not turn aside from the commandment [to] the right or [to] the left, that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom—he and his children—in the midst of Israel.
Deuteronomy 18:1	There shall not be to the priests, the Levites—all the tribe of Levi—a portion or inheritance with Israel; and the fire offerings of YHWH, His inheritance, they shall eat.
Deuteronomy 18:2	And unto them shall be no inheritance among their brothers; YHWH is their inheritance, as He has spoken to them.
Deuteronomy 18:3	And this shall be the right of the priest from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether [it is] a bull or a sheep; and he shall give to the priest the shoulder, and the cheeks, and the stomach.
Deuteronomy 18:4	The firstfruits of your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, and the first of the fleece of your sheep, you shall give to him.
Deuteronomy 18:5	For YHWH your God has chosen him out of all your tribes to stand to minister in the name of YHWH—he and his sons, for all the days.
Deuteronomy 18:6	And if a Levite comes from one of your gates among all Israel, from where he dwells, and he comes with all the desire of his soul to the place that YHWH chooses,
Deuteronomy 18:7	he may serve in the name of YHWH his God, as all his brothers the Levites who stand there before the face of YHWH.
Deuteronomy 18:8	Equal portions they shall have to eat, besides the sale by him of that of the fathers.
Deuteronomy 18:9	When you come into the land that YHWH your God is giving to you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of these nations.
Deuteronomy 18:10	There shall not be found among you one who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, a user of divinations, a soothsayer, or a diviner, or a sorcerer,
Deuteronomy 18:11	or one who conjures spells or consults a medium, or a spiritist, or a seeker of the dead.
Deuteronomy 18:12	For an abomination to YHWH [is] everyone doing these things, and because of these abominations YHWH your God is driving them out from before you.
Deuteronomy 18:13	You shall be blameless before YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 18:14	For these nations that you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners, and as for you, YHWH your God has not given for you [to do] so.
Deuteronomy 18:15	YHWH your God will raise up for you a prophet from among you, from your brothers, like me; you⁺ must listen to him
Deuteronomy 18:16	according to all that you desired of YHWH your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the voice of YHWH my God, and let me not see this great fire anymore, so that I will not die.”
Deuteronomy 18:17	And YHWH said to me, “What they have spoken is good.
Deuteronomy 18:18	I will raise up for them a prophet from among their brothers, like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.
Deuteronomy 18:19	And it shall come to pass [that] whoever will not listen to My words, which he speaks in My name, I will require [it] of him.
Deuteronomy 18:20	But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—indeed that prophet must be put to death.
Deuteronomy 18:21	And if you say in your heart, “How shall we know the word that YHWH has not spoken?”
Deuteronomy 18:22	When a prophet speaks in the name of YHWH and the thing does not happen, and it does not come to pass, it [is] the thing that YHWH has not spoken. Proudly the prophet has spoken it; you shall not be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy 19:1	When YHWH your God has cut off the nations whose land YHWH your God is giving you, and you dispossess them and dwell in their cities and in their houses,
Deuteronomy 19:2	you shall separate for yourself three cities in the midst of your land that YHWH your God is giving you to possess.
Deuteronomy 19:3	You shall prepare for yourself the way and divide into three parts the territory of your land that YHWH your God is giving you to inherit, and it will be [that] any manslayer may flee there.
Deuteronomy 19:4	And this [is] the matter of the manslayer who flees there that he may live: Whoever strikes his neighbor without knowing, and he without having hated him from yesterday and the day before yesterday,
Deuteronomy 19:5	and he who goes with his neighbor into the forest to cut timber, and his hand swings with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies, he shall flee to one of these cities and live,
Deuteronomy 19:6	lest the avenger of blood pursue after the manslayer while his anger is hot, and overtake him because the way is long, and kill him, and he did not have a sentence of death, since he had not hated him from yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Deuteronomy 19:7	Upon thus I command you, in saying, three cities you shall separate for yourself.
Deuteronomy 19:8	And if YHWH your God enlarges your territory, as He swore to your fathers, and He gives you all the land that He promised to give to your fathers,
Deuteronomy 19:9	and if you keep all this commandment and do it, that which I command you today, to love YHWH your God, and to walk in His ways all the days, then you shall add to yourself three more cities besides these three.
Deuteronomy 19:10	And innocent blood will not be shed in the midst of your land, which YHWH your God is giving you [as] an inheritance, and blood be upon you.
Deuteronomy 19:11	But if anyone comes to hate his neighbor, and he lies in wait for him and rises against him and strikes him mortally so that he dies, and he flees to one of these cities,
Deuteronomy 19:12	the elders of his city shall send and bring him from there, and deliver him to the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Deuteronomy 19:13	Your eye shall not pity him, and you shall put away the innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with you.
Deuteronomy 19:14	You shall not move a border of your neighbor, which the men of old have set in your inheritance that you will inherit in the land that YHWH your God is giving you to possess.
Deuteronomy 19:15	One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity, or any sin, in any sin that he commits. Upon the mouth of two witnesses or upon the mouth of three witnesses, a matter shall be established.
Deuteronomy 19:16	If a false witness rises against any man to testify against him of wrongdoing,
Deuteronomy 19:17	both the men between whom [is] the controversy shall stand before the face of YHWH, before the priests and the judges who serve in those days.
Deuteronomy 19:18	And the judges shall make inquiry thoroughly, and behold, if the witness [is] a false witness—he has testified a falsehood against his brother—
Deuteronomy 19:19	then you⁺ shall do to him as he thought to have done to his brother, and you shall put away the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 19:20	And those who remain shall hear and fear, and they shall add not to do this evil thing anymore among you.
Deuteronomy 19:21	And your eye shall not pity: Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Deuteronomy 20:1	When you go out to battle against your enemies, and you see horses and chariots—people more numerous than you—do not be afraid of them, for YHWH your God [is] with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 20:2	And it shall come to pass, in your⁺ drawing near to the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak to the people,
Deuteronomy 20:3	and he shall say to them, “Hear, O Israel, you⁺ are drawing near today to battle against your⁺ enemies. Do not let your⁺ hearts be faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble, and do not be terrified at their presence.
Deuteronomy 20:4	For YHWH your⁺ God [is] He who goes with you⁺ to fight for you⁺ against your⁺ enemies, to save you⁺.”
Deuteronomy 20:5	And the officers shall speak to the people, saying, “Who [is] the man who has built a new house, and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it.
Deuteronomy 20:6	And who [is] the man who has planted a vineyard and has not eaten of it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it.
Deuteronomy 20:7	And who [is] the man who is betrothed to a woman and has not married her? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man marry her.”
Deuteronomy 20:8	And the officers shall add to speak to the people and say, “Who [is] the man fearful and fainthearted? Let him go and return to his house, so that the heart of his brothers shall not melt like his heart.”
Deuteronomy 20:9	And it shall come to pass, the officers having finished speaking to the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
Deuteronomy 20:10	When you go near to a city to fight against it, then you shall call out to it for peace.
Deuteronomy 20:11	And it shall come to pass that if they accept your offer of peace and open to you, then all the people found in it shall be unto you in tribute, and they will serve you.
Deuteronomy 20:12	And if it does not make peace with you and makes war against you, then you shall lay siege against it.
Deuteronomy 20:13	And YHWH your God has delivered it into your hands, and you shall strike every male in it with the mouth of the sword.
Deuteronomy 20:14	But the women, and the children, and the livestock, and all that is in the city, all its spoil, you shall plunder for yourself. And you shall devour the plunder of your enemies, which YHWH your God gives to you.
Deuteronomy 20:15	Thus you shall do to all the cities very far from you, which are not from the cities of these nations.
Deuteronomy 20:16	But from the cities of these peoples that YHWH your God gives to you [as] an inheritance, you shall not keep alive anything that breathes.
Deuteronomy 20:17	But you must devote them to complete destruction—the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite—as YHWH your God has commanded you,
Deuteronomy 20:18	so that they will not teach you⁺ to do according to all their abominations that they have done for their gods, and cause you⁺ to sin against YHWH your⁺ God.
Deuteronomy 20:19	When you lay siege to a city many days while making war against it to capture it, you shall not destroy its trees by wielding an ax against them. And if you can eat of them, then do not cut them down, for [is] the tree of the field a man, coming from your face to besiege?

Deuteronomy 21:3	And it shall be [that] the city nearest to the slain man, the elders of that city will take a heifer of the herd, which has not been worked in it [and] which has not pulled with a yoke,
Deuteronomy 21:4	and the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer to an enduring valley, which neither is plowed nor sown, and they shall break the neck there of the heifer in the valley.
Deuteronomy 21:5	And the priests, the sons of Levi, shall come near; for YHWH your God has chosen them to serve and to bless in the name of YHWH, and by their mouth shall be [settled] every controversy and every assault.
Deuteronomy 21:6	And all the elders of that city nearest to the slain one shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley,
Deuteronomy 21:7	and they shall answer and say, “Our hands have not shed this blood, and our eyes have not seen [it].
Deuteronomy 21:8	Receive atonement for Your people Israel, whom You have redeemed, O YHWH, and lay not innocent blood in the midst of Your people Israel.” And [for] the blood atonement shall be provided to them.

Deuteronomy 21:12	you shall bring her into the midst of your household, and she shall shave her head and trim her nails,
Deuteronomy 21:13	and she shall remove the clothes of her captivity from her and remain in your house and mourn her father and her mother a full month. And after that you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be to you wife.

Deuteronomy 21:15	If a man has two wives, one loved and one hated, and they have borne to him sons, the loved and the hated, and the firstborn son is to the hated one,
Deuteronomy 21:16	then it shall come to pass on the day he assigns his inheritance to his sons that are to him, [that] he must not bestow firstborn status on the son of the loved wife over the face of the son of the hated one, the firstborn.
Deuteronomy 21:17	But the firstborn son of the hated wife he shall acknowledge by giving him a double portion of all that is found to him, for he [is] the beginning of his strength; to him [is] the right of the firstborn.
Deuteronomy 21:18	If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not listen to the voice of his father or the voice of his mother, and they have disciplined him and he will not listen to them,
Deuteronomy 21:19	then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his city,
Deuteronomy 21:20	and they shall say to the elders of his city, “Our son, this one, is stubborn and rebellious; he will not listen to our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard.”
Deuteronomy 21:21	And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones to death; and you shall put away the evil from among you, and all Israel shall listen and fear.
Deuteronomy 21:22	And if a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,
Deuteronomy 21:23	his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the day—for cursed of God [is] he who is hanged [on a tree]—so that you do not defile the land that YHWH your God is giving to you [as] an inheritance.
Deuteronomy 22:1	You shall not see the ox of your brother or his sheep going astray, and hide yourself from them; you shall surely turn them back to your brother.
Deuteronomy 22:2	And if your brother [is] not near to you, or if you do not know him, you shall bring it to the middle of your own house, and it shall remain with you until your brother seeks it—and you shall restore it to him.
Deuteronomy 22:3	And so shall you do with his donkey, and so shall you do with his garment, and so shall you do with any lost thing of your brother that is lost by him and you have found it. You must not hide yourself.

Deuteronomy 22:6	If the nest of a bird is encountered to your face along the way in any tree or on the ground, with chicks or eggs, and with the mother sitting on the chicks or on the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the sons;

Deuteronomy 22:14	and he charges her with shameful conduct and brings on her a bad name and says, “This woman I took, and I came to her, and I found her not a virgin,”
Deuteronomy 22:15	the father and the young woman—and mother—shall take and bring out the tokens of virginity of the young woman to the elders of the city at the gate.
Deuteronomy 22:16	And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, and he detests her.
Deuteronomy 22:17	And behold, he has charged her with shameful conduct, saying, ‘I did not find your daughter a virgin,’ and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter.” And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
Deuteronomy 22:18	And the elders of that city shall take the man, and they shall discipline him.
Deuteronomy 22:19	And they shall fine him a hundred [shekels] of silver and give [them] to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be wife to him; he may not divorce her all his days.
Deuteronomy 22:20	But if this thing is true [and] tokens of virginity are not found for the young woman,
Deuteronomy 22:21	then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones to death, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel to play the prostitute in the house of her father. And you shall put away the evil from among you.

Deuteronomy 22:24	then you⁺ shall bring out the two of them to the gate of that city, and you⁺ shall stone them with stones to death—the young woman on account of the matter, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man upon this thing, because he humbled the wife of his neighbor. And you shall put away the evil from among you.
Deuteronomy 22:25	But if in the countryside the man finds a young woman betrothed, and the man forces her and lies with her, only the man who lay with her shall die.
Deuteronomy 22:26	And to the young woman you shall not do anything; in the young woman there is no sin of death. For as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so [is] this matter.

Deuteronomy 24:4	[then] her former husband who divorced her must not take her back to be wife to him after that she has been defiled; for that [is] an abomination before the face of YHWH, and you shall not bring sin upon the land that YHWH your God is giving to you [as] an inheritance.

Deuteronomy 26:13	then you shall say before the face of YHWH your God, “I have removed the sacred [portion] from the house, and also have given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all Your commandments that You have commanded me. I have not transgressed Your commandments, nor have I forgotten.
Deuteronomy 26:14	I have not eaten any of it in my affliction, nor have I removed of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead. I have obeyed the voice of YHWH my God, and I have done according to all that You have commanded me.
Deuteronomy 26:15	Look down from Your holy habitation, the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the land that You have given to us, as You swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Deuteronomy 26:16	This day YHWH your God commands you to observe these statutes and ordinances. And you shall keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 26:17	You have proclaimed YHWH today to be your God, that you will walk in His ways and keep His statutes and His commands and His judgments, and listen to His voice.
Deuteronomy 26:18	And YHWH has proclaimed you today to be His people, a treasured possession, as He promised to you, and that [you] should keep all His commandments,

Deuteronomy 28:14	And you shall not turn aside from any of the words that I am commanding you⁺ this day, [to] the right or [to] the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Deuteronomy 28:18	Cursed is the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your cattle, and the young of your flock.
Deuteronomy 28:19	Cursed [are] you in your coming in, and cursed [are] you in your going out.

Deuteronomy 28:24	YHWH will give the rain of your land [to be] dust and powder; from the heavens it shall come down on you, until you are destroyed.

Deuteronomy 28:26	And your carcass shall be food for all the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten [them] away.
Deuteronomy 28:27	YHWH will strike you with the boils of Egypt, and with the tumors, and with the scab, and with the itch, from which you are not able to be healed.
Deuteronomy 28:28	YHWH will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of mind,

Deuteronomy 28:46	And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your seed, even to forever.
Deuteronomy 28:47	Because that you did not serve YHWH your God with joy and gladness of heart from the abundance of all things,
Deuteronomy 28:48	therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom YHWH will send against you, in hunger and in thirst and in nakedness and in lack of all things, and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
Deuteronomy 28:49	YHWH will bring against you a nation from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue you have not heard,
Deuteronomy 28:50	a nation fierce of face, which does not respect the face of the aged, and does not show favor to the young.
Deuteronomy 28:51	And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed—which will leave to you no grain, or new wine, or oil, or offspring of your cattle, [or] increase of your flock, until they have destroyed you.
Deuteronomy 28:52	And they shall lay siege to you in all your gates until your walls, high and fortified, in which you trust, come down in all your land; and they shall besiege you in all your gates in all your land that YHWH your God has given to you.

Deuteronomy 28:54	The tender man among you and very refined—his eye shall do evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaves behind,
Deuteronomy 28:55	so that he will not give to one of them the flesh of his children whom he will eat, because there remains nothing at all for him in the siege and dire straits that your enemy will inflict on you at all your gates.
Deuteronomy 28:56	The tender and delicate woman among you who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her delicateness and tenderness—her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter,
Deuteronomy 28:57	and against her afterbirth that comes from between her feet, and against her children whom she bears. For she will eat them in secret for lack of anything in the siege and dire straits that your enemy will inflict on you within your gates.
Deuteronomy 28:58	If you are not careful to do all the words of this law written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—YHWH your God—
Deuteronomy 28:59	then YHWH will bring extraordinary plagues and the plagues of your seed, great and prolonged plagues, and evil and prolonged sicknesses.
Deuteronomy 28:60	And He will bring back on you all the diseases of Egypt, the presence of which you were afraid, and they shall cling to you.
Deuteronomy 28:61	Also every sickness and every plague that [is] not written in the Book of this Law, YHWH will bring upon you until you are destroyed.
Deuteronomy 28:62	And you⁺ shall be left few men, instead of which you⁺ were as stars of the heavens in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of YHWH your God.
Deuteronomy 28:63	And it shall come to pass [that] as YHWH rejoiced over you⁺ to do good to you⁺ and multiply you⁺, so YHWH will rejoice over you⁺ to destroy you⁺ and bring you⁺ to nothing, and you⁺ shall be plucked from off the land that you are going there to possess.
Deuteronomy 28:64	And YHWH will scatter you among all the peoples, from the end of the earth and to the end of the earth, and there you shall serve other gods—which neither you nor your fathers have known—wood and stone.
Deuteronomy 28:65	And among those nations you shall not find rest, nor shall you have a resting place for the sole of your foot. And there YHWH will give to you a trembling heart, and failing eyes, and anguish of soul.
Deuteronomy 28:66	And your life shall be hanging in doubt before you, and you shall dread night and day, and have no assurance of life.
Deuteronomy 28:67	In the morning you shall say, ‘Would that evening be granted!’ And at the evening you shall say, ‘Would that morning be granted!’ Because of the dread of your heart that you dread, and because of the sight of your eyes that you see.
Deuteronomy 28:68	And YHWH will take you back to Egypt in ships by the way of which I said to you, never will you add again to see it, and you⁺ will sell yourselves there to your enemies for menservants and for maidservants, and no one will buy [you].”
Deuteronomy 29:1	These [are] the words of the covenant that YHWH commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that He made with them in Horeb.
Deuteronomy 29:2	And Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “You⁺ have seen all that YHWH did before your⁺ eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land—
Deuteronomy 29:3	the great trials that your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
Deuteronomy 29:4	And YHWH has not given to you⁺ a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this day.
Deuteronomy 29:5	And I have led you⁺ forty years in the wilderness; your⁺ garments have not worn out from you⁺, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.
Deuteronomy 29:6	Bread you⁺ have not eaten, and wine and strong drink you⁺ have not drunk, so that you⁺ may know that I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.
Deuteronomy 29:7	And you⁺ came to this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them.
Deuteronomy 29:8	And we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half-tribe of the Manassite.
Deuteronomy 29:9	And you⁺ shall keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that in all that you⁺ do you⁺ may prosper.
Deuteronomy 29:10	You⁺ stand today, all of you⁺, before the face of YHWH your⁺ God—your⁺ leaders of your⁺ tribes, and your⁺ elders, and your⁺ officers—all the men of Israel,
Deuteronomy 29:11	your⁺ little ones, and your⁺ wives, and the sojourner who [is] in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water—
Deuteronomy 29:12	that you may enter into the covenant of YHWH your God and into His oath, which YHWH your God makes with you today,
Deuteronomy 29:13	so that He may establish you today as a people unto Himself, and [that] He may be unto you God, as He has spoken to you and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy 29:14	And not with you⁺ alone am I cutting this covenant and this oath,
Deuteronomy 29:15	but with those who are here with us today standing before the face of YHWH our God, and with him who [is] not here with us today.
Deuteronomy 29:16	For you⁺ know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we passed over in the midst of the nations that you⁺ passed over.
Deuteronomy 29:17	And you⁺ saw their abominations, and their idols—wood and stone and silver and gold—that [were] among them,
Deuteronomy 29:18	lest there be among you⁺ man or woman or family or tribe whose heart turns away today from YHWH our God, to go [and] serve the gods of those nations, lest there be among you⁺ a root bearing gall and wormwood,
Deuteronomy 29:19	and it will come to pass in his hearing the words of this oath, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ so that the wet are swept away with the dry.
Deuteronomy 29:20	YHWH will not spare him, for then the anger of YHWH and His jealousy would burn against that man, and upon him will rest every oath written in this book, and YHWH will blot out his name from under the heavens.
Deuteronomy 29:21	And YHWH will separate him for disaster from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.
Deuteronomy 29:22	And the latter generation of your⁺ sons who rise up after you⁺, and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, will say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses that YHWH has laid on it:
Deuteronomy 29:23	Of sulfur and salt [is] all the land burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there—like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which YHWH overthrew in His anger and His wrath.
Deuteronomy 29:24	And all the nations will say, ‘What has YHWH done to this land upon thus? Why the heat of this great anger?’
Deuteronomy 29:25	And they will say, ‘Upon that they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH, God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 29:26	For they went and served other gods and worshiped them—gods that they did not know, that He had not apportioned to them—
Deuteronomy 29:27	and the anger of YHWH was kindled against that land, to bring on it every curse written in this book.
Deuteronomy 29:28	And YHWH uprooted them from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and He cast them into another land, as [it is] this day.’
Deuteronomy 29:29	The things hidden are of YHWH our God, and the things revealed [are] to us and to our sons even to forever, that [we] may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 30:1	[“] And it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you—the blessing and the curse that I have set before you—and you call [them] to mind in all the nations to which YHWH your God has driven you away,
Deuteronomy 30:2	and you return to YHWH your God and listen to His voice according to all that I command you today—you and your sons—with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deuteronomy 30:3	then YHWH your God will turn back your captivity, and have compassion on you, and turn back and gather you from all the nations to which YHWH your God has scattered you there.
Deuteronomy 30:4	If it comes to pass [that] you are cast out into the extremity of the heavens, from there YHWH your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you.
Deuteronomy 30:5	And YHWH your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it, and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.
Deuteronomy 30:6	And YHWH your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your seed, to love YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
Deuteronomy 30:7	And YHWH your God will put all these oaths on your enemies and on those who hate you, who pursued you.
Deuteronomy 30:8	And you will turn back and listen to the voice of YHWH and do all His commandments that I command you today.
Deuteronomy 30:9	And YHWH your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your land, for good. For YHWH will again rejoice over you for good, as He rejoiced over your fathers,
Deuteronomy 30:10	if you listen to the voice of YHWH your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes written in the Book of this Law, [and] if you turn to YHWH your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy 30:11	For this commandment that I command you today is not too wonderful for you, and it is not far off.
Deuteronomy 30:12	It [is] not in the heavens, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend for us into the heavens and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
Deuteronomy 30:13	Nor [is] it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will go for us to beyond the sea and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’
Deuteronomy 30:14	But the word [is] very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.
Deuteronomy 30:15	See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil,
Deuteronomy 30:16	in that I am commanding you today to love YHWH your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, that you may live and multiply, that YHWH your God will bless you in the land that you are going there to possess.
Deuteronomy 30:17	But if your heart turns away, so that you do not listen, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,
Deuteronomy 30:18	I declare to you⁺ today that you⁺ will surely perish; you⁺ will not prolong [your] days in the land that you are passing over the Jordan to go in there to possess it.
Deuteronomy 30:19	I call as witnesses against you⁺ today the heavens and the earth [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that you may live—you and your seed,
Deuteronomy 30:20	[and] that you may love YHWH your God, to listen to His voice, and to cleave to Him. For He [is] your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land that YHWH swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.”
Deuteronomy 31:1	And Moses had finished speaking these words to all Israel,
Deuteronomy 31:2	and he said to them, “I [am] a son of a hundred and twenty years today; I cannot anymore go out and come in, and YHWH has said to me, ‘You shall not pass over this Jordan.’
Deuteronomy 31:3	YHWH your God—He will pass over before your faces. He will destroy these nations from before your faces, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua—he will pass over before your faces as YHWH has spoken.
Deuteronomy 31:4	And YHWH will do to them as He did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorite, and to their land, when He destroyed them.
Deuteronomy 31:5	And YHWH will give them over to you⁺, that you⁺ may do to them according to every commandment that I have commanded you⁺.
Deuteronomy 31:6	Be strong and be of good courage. Fear not, nor be afraid of them, for YHWH your God [is] He who is going with you. He will not fail you and He will not forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:7	And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the eyes of all Israel, “Be strong and be of good courage, for you—you must go with this people to the land that YHWH has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.
Deuteronomy 31:8	And YHWH [is] He who is going before you; He will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. Fear not, nor be dismayed.”
Deuteronomy 31:9	And Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of YHWH, and to all the elders of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:10	And Moses commanded them, saying, “At the end of seven years, at the appointed time in the year of release, in the Feast of the Booths,
Deuteronomy 31:11	when all Israel comes to appear before the face of YHWH your God in the place that He chooses, you shall read this law before all Israel in their ears.
Deuteronomy 31:12	Gather together the people, the men, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourner who [is] within your gates, that they may hear, and so that they may learn and fear YHWH your⁺ God, and be careful to do all the words of this law,
Deuteronomy 31:13	and [that] their children who have not known it may hear and learn to fear YHWH your⁺ God all the days that you⁺ are living in the land that you⁺ are passing over the Jordan to possess.”
Deuteronomy 31:14	And YHWH said to Moses, “Behold, the day has drawn near when you must die. Call Joshua and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, so that I may commission him.” And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
Deuteronomy 31:15	And YHWH appeared at the tabernacle in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood above the door of the tent.
Deuteronomy 31:16	And YHWH said to Moses, “Behold, you are lying down with your fathers, and this people will rise up and play the prostitute with the gods of the foreigners of the land which he is entering, there in the midst; and he will forsake Me and break My covenant that I have made with him.
Deuteronomy 31:17	And My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they will be devoured, and many evils and distresses will find them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Is [it] not because that my God is not in my midst [that] these evils have found me?’
Deuteronomy 31:18	And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil that they have done, because they have turned to other gods.
Deuteronomy 31:19	And now write down for yourselves this song, and teach it to the sons of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:20	When I have brought them to the land that I have sworn to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat, they will turn to other gods and serve them, and they will spurn Me and break My covenant.
Deuteronomy 31:21	And it shall come to pass when many evils and distresses have come upon him, that this song will testify to his face as a witness, for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of his seed. For I know the inclination that he is doing today, even before I bring him to the land of which I have sworn.”
Deuteronomy 31:22	And Moses wrote this song in that day, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
Deuteronomy 31:23	And He commanded Joshua son of Nun and said, “Be strong and be of good courage, for you shall bring the sons of Israel into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you.”
Deuteronomy 31:24	And it came to pass, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book until it was complete,
Deuteronomy 31:25	that Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of YHWH, saying,
Deuteronomy 31:26	“Take this Book of the Law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of YHWH your⁺ God, that it may be there as a witness against you.
Deuteronomy 31:27	For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, in my being yet alive with you⁺ this day, you⁺ have been rebellious against YHWH; how much more surely after my death!
Deuteronomy 31:28	Gather to me all the elders of your⁺ tribes, and your⁺ officers, that I may speak in their ears these words and call to witness against them the heavens and the earth.
Deuteronomy 31:29	For I know that after my death, you⁺ will become utterly corrupt and turn aside from the way that I have commanded you⁺, and evil will meet you⁺ in the latter days, because you⁺ will do evil in the eyes of YHWH to provoke Him to anger through the work of your⁺ hands.”
Deuteronomy 31:30	And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended:
Deuteronomy 32:1	Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Deuteronomy 32:2	Let my teaching drop like rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass.
Deuteronomy 32:3	For the name of YHWH I proclaim; ascribe greatness to our God.
Deuteronomy 32:4	The Rock—perfect His work [is], for all His ways [are] just; a God of truth and without injustice, righteous and upright [is] He.
Deuteronomy 32:5	They have corrupted themselves; because of their blemish [they are] not His sons, a generation perverse and crooked.
Deuteronomy 32:6	Is it [even] to YHWH [that] you⁺ would act this way, O people foolish and unwise? Is not He your Father [who] created you, He [who] made you and established you?
Deuteronomy 32:7	Remember the days of old, consider the years of generation upon generation. Ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.
Deuteronomy 32:8	When the Most High gave their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples by the number of the sons of God.
Deuteronomy 32:9	For YHWH's portion [is] His people; Jacob [is] the place of His inheritance.
Deuteronomy 32:10	He found him in a desert land, and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the pupil of His eye.
Deuteronomy 32:11	As an eagle stirs up his nest, he hovers over his young, he spreads his wings, he takes him, he carries him upon his pinions,
Deuteronomy 32:12	YHWH alone led him, and no foreign god [was] with him.
Deuteronomy 32:13	He made him ride on the heights of the earth, that he might eat the fruits of the field. And He made him draw honey from the rock, and oil from the flinty rock,
Deuteronomy 32:14	curds of the herd and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the sons of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and of the blood of the grape you drank wine.
Deuteronomy 32:15	And Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—you grew fat, you grew thick, you gorged—and he forsook God [who] made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
Deuteronomy 32:16	They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign [gods]; with abominations they provoked Him to anger.
Deuteronomy 32:17	They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known. New ones—from the vicinity they came—that your⁺ fathers did not fear.
Deuteronomy 32:18	The Rock [who] brought you forth you neglected, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
Deuteronomy 32:19	And YHWH saw [it], and He spurned [them], from the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
Deuteronomy 32:20	And He said, “I will hide My face from them, I shall see what [is] their end; for a perverse generation are they, sons in whom [is] no faithfulness.
Deuteronomy 32:21	They have provoked Me to jealousy by [what is] not God; they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols. And I will provoke them to jealousy by [those] not a people; by a foolish nation I will anger them.
Deuteronomy 32:22	For a fire is kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol, and it shall consume the earth and its yield, and scorch the foundations of the mountains.
Deuteronomy 32:23	I will heap upon them disasters; My arrows I will spend on them:
Deuteronomy 32:24	Wasted by famine and devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send against them, with the poison of fearful things of the dust.
Deuteronomy 32:25	Outside the sword will bereave, and inside [shall be] terror for the young man and virgin, the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
Deuteronomy 32:26	I said I would dash them in pieces, I would remove their memory from among men,
Deuteronomy 32:27	if I had not feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, lest they should say, ‘Our hand is high, and [it is] not YHWH who has done all this.’”
Deuteronomy 32:28	For they [are] a nation void of counsel, and in them [there is] no understanding.
Deuteronomy 32:29	If only they were wise, [that] they understood this, they would consider their latter end!
Deuteronomy 32:30	How does one pursue a thousand, and two put to flight a myriad, if not that their Rock had sold them and YHWH had surrendered them?
Deuteronomy 32:31	For their rock [is] not like our Rock, and our enemies themselves [are] judges.
Deuteronomy 32:32	For their vine [is] from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their clusters [are] bitter.
Deuteronomy 32:33	The poison of serpents [is] their wine, and the cruel venom of cobras.
Deuteronomy 32:34	“Is not this laid up with Me, sealed up among My treasures?
Deuteronomy 32:35	Vengeance [is] Mine; I will repay. In time their foot shall slip, for the day of their calamity [is] at hand, and the things to come upon them hurry.”
Deuteronomy 32:36	For YHWH will judge His people, and on His servants have compassion, when He sees that the power is gone, and [there is] no one, slave or free.
Deuteronomy 32:37	And He will say, “Where [are] their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
Deuteronomy 32:38	that ate the fat of their sacrifices [and] drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise and help you⁺ and be for you⁺ a shelter.
Deuteronomy 32:39	See now that I—I [am] He—and [there is] no God besides Me; I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal, and from My hand none can deliver.
Deuteronomy 32:40	For I lift up My hand to the heavens and say, [as] I live forever,
Deuteronomy 32:41	if I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will turn back vengeance to My enemies and those who hate Me I will repay.
Deuteronomy 32:42	I will make drunk My arrows with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and captives, from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.”
Deuteronomy 32:43	Rejoice, [O heavens, with Him, <p class= indent2 >and let all God’s angels worship Him.], [Rejoice,] O nations, [with] His people; for the blood of His children He will avenge, and vengeance He will return on His adversaries<p class= indent2 > [and He will repay those who hate Him], and He will provide atonement for His land—His people.
Deuteronomy 32:44	And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people—he and Joshua son of Nun.
Deuteronomy 32:45	And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
Deuteronomy 32:46	and He said to them, “Set your⁺ hearts on all the words that I testify among you⁺ today, which you⁺ shall command your⁺ sons to be careful to do—all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 32:47	For it [is] not a futile thing for you⁺, because it [is] your⁺ life, and by this word you⁺ shall prolong days in the land that there you⁺ are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
Deuteronomy 32:48	And YHWH spoke to Moses this same day, saying,
Deuteronomy 32:49	“Go up into this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel as a possession.
Deuteronomy 32:50	And die on the mountain that you ascend, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people,
Deuteronomy 32:51	upon that you⁺ trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, upon that you⁺ did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Deuteronomy 32:52	Yet from a distance you shall see the land, and there you shall not go into the land that I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
Deuteronomy 33:1	And this [is] the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the sons of Israel before the face of his death,
Deuteronomy 33:2	and he said: “YHWH came from Sinai and dawned upon us from Seir. He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with myriads of holy ones, with flaming fire from His right hand for them.
Deuteronomy 33:3	Yes, He loves the people; all the holy ones [are] in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words.
Deuteronomy 33:4	Moses commanded a law for us, a possession for the assembly of Jacob.
Deuteronomy 33:5	And He was King in Jeshurun, when were gathered the leaders of the people together with the tribes of Israel.
Deuteronomy 33:6	Let Reuben live and not die, and let his men be numerable.”
Deuteronomy 33:7	And this [is] for Judah; and he said, “Hear, O YHWH, the voice of Judah, and to his people bring him; let his hands be sufficient for him, and may You be a help against his enemies.”
Deuteronomy 33:8	And of Levi he said, “Your Thummim [are unto Levi] and Your Urim unto Your godly man, whom You tested at Massah, and with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,
Deuteronomy 33:9	who says of his father and mother, ‘I have not seen them,’ and his brothers he did not acknowledge, and his own sons he did not know; for they have kept Your word, and Your covenant they keep.
Deuteronomy 33:10	They shall teach Your ordinances to Jacob and Your law to Israel; they shall put incense before You and a whole burnt offering on Your altar.
Deuteronomy 33:11	Bless, O YHWH, his substance, and the work of his hands accept. Smash the loins of those who rise against him, and of those who hate him, that they rise [not] again.”
Deuteronomy 33:12	Of Benjamin he said, “The beloved of YHWH shall dwell in safety in Him, covering him all the day, and between His shoulders He rests.”
Deuteronomy 33:13	And of Joseph he said, “Blessed of YHWH [is] his land with the precious things of the heavens, by dew, and the deep crouching beneath,
Deuteronomy 33:14	and with the precious fruits of the sun, and with the precious produce of the months,
Deuteronomy 33:15	and with the best things of the ancient mountains, and with the precious things of the everlasting hills,
Deuteronomy 33:16	and from the precious things of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of Him who is dwelling in the bush. Let it rest on the head of Joseph, and on the top of the head of the prince of his brothers.
Deuteronomy 33:17	Honor unto him [is] a firstling of his ox and the horns of the wild ox are his horns; with them he shall push the peoples together to the ends of the earth. And they [are] the myriads of Ephraim, and they [are] the thousands of Manasseh.”
Deuteronomy 33:18	And of Zebulun he said, “Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar, in your tents.
Deuteronomy 33:19	They shall call the peoples [to] the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness. For they suckle the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hidden in the sand.”
Deuteronomy 33:20	And of Gad he said, “Blessed [is] he who enlarges Gad; as a lion He dwells; and he tears the arm and the crown of the head.
Deuteronomy 33:21	And he provided the first for himself because there was reserved a portion of the lawgiver, and He came [with] the heads of the people. The justice of YHWH He administered, and His ordinances with Israel.”
Deuteronomy 33:22	And of Dan he said, “Dan [is] a whelp of a lion; He shall leap from Bashan.”
Deuteronomy 33:23	And of Naphtali he said, “Naphtali is satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of YHWH, of the sea and the south he shall take possession.”
Deuteronomy 33:24	And of Asher he said, “Most blessed of sons [is] Asher; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him dip his foot in the oil.
Deuteronomy 33:25	Iron and bronze [are] your gates, and as your days [is] your strength.”
Deuteronomy 33:26	“None [is] like the God of Jeshurun, riding the heavens to help you, and in His majesty on the clouds.
Deuteronomy 33:27	A habitation [is] the eternal God and underneath [are] the arms everlasting. And He will thrust out from before you the enemy and will say, ‘Destroy.’
Deuteronomy 33:28	And Israel shall dwell in safety, alone [as] the fountain of Jacob in a land of grain and new wine; also His heavens drip down dew.
Deuteronomy 33:29	Blessed [are] you, O Israel; who [is] like you, a people saved by YHWH, the shield of your help, and who is the sword of your majesty! And Your enemies shall submit to you, and you shall tread upon their high places.”
Deuteronomy 34:1	And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And YHWH showed him all the land of Gilead, as far as Dan,
Deuteronomy 34:2	and all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Western Sea,
Deuteronomy 34:3	and the Negev, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho (the City of Palms), as far as Zoar.
Deuteronomy 34:4	And YHWH said to him, “This [is] the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘To your seed I will give it.’ I have caused you to see [it] with your eyes, and there you shall not pass over.”
Deuteronomy 34:5	And Moses the servant of YHWH died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of YHWH.
Deuteronomy 34:6	And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor; no man knows his grave to this day.
Deuteronomy 34:7	And Moses [was] a son of a hundred and twenty years when he died; his eyes were not dim, nor had his vigor fled.
Deuteronomy 34:8	And the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; and the days of weeping [and] mourning for Moses ended.
Deuteronomy 34:9	And Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. And the sons of Israel listened to him and did as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy 34:10	And there has not arisen since that time a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom YHWH knew face to face,
Deuteronomy 34:11	in all the signs and the wonders that YHWH sent him to do in the land of Egypt before Pharaoh, and before all his servants, and in all his land,
Deuteronomy 34:12	and by all the mighty power and all the great terror, which Moses performed in the eyes of all Israel.
Joshua 1:1	And it came to pass after the death of Moses the servant of YHWH, that YHWH spoke to Joshua son of Nun, minister of Moses, saying,
Joshua 1:2	“Moses My servant is dead. And now arise, pass over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land that I am giving to them, the sons of Israel.
Joshua 1:3	Every place that the sole of your⁺ foot will tread I have given to you⁺, as I said to Moses.
Joshua 1:4	From this wilderness and Lebanon and as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your⁺ territory.
Joshua 1:5	No man shall stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, I will be with you. I will not leave you and I will not forsake you.
Joshua 1:6	Be strong and be of good courage, for you shall divide as an inheritance to this people the land that I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Joshua 1:7	Only be strong and be very courageous, to be careful to do according to all the law that Moses My servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may prosper in every [place] where you go.
Joshua 1:8	The Book of this Law shall not depart from your mouth, and you shall meditate in it day and night, so that you will be careful to do according to all written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous and then you will succeed.
Joshua 1:9	Have I not commanded you to be strong and to be of good courage? Do not be afraid nor dismayed, for with you YHWH your God [is] in every [place] where you go.”
Joshua 1:10	And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Joshua 1:11	“Pass over in the midst of the camp and command the people, saying, ‘Prepare for yourselves provisions, for within three days you⁺ will pass over this Jordan to go in to possess the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving to you⁺ to possess.’”
Joshua 1:12	And to the Reubenite, and the Gadite, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua spoke, saying,
Joshua 1:13	“Remember the word that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you⁺, saying, ‘YHWH your⁺ God is giving rest to you⁺, and He will give to you⁺ this land.’
Joshua 1:14	Your⁺ wives, your⁺ little ones, and your⁺ livestock shall remain in the land that Moses gave to you⁺ on this side of the Jordan. And you⁺ shall pass over armed for battle before the face of your⁺ brothers, all the mighty ones of valor; and you⁺ shall help them,
Joshua 1:15	until YHWH has given rest to your⁺ brothers as to you⁺, and they have taken possession, even they, of the land that YHWH your⁺ God is giving to them. And you⁺ shall return to the land of your⁺ possession and take possession of that which Moses, the servant of YHWH, gave to you⁺ on this side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun.”
Joshua 1:16	And they answered Joshua, saying, “All that you command us, we will do, and to every [place] where you send us, we will go.
Joshua 1:17	As we listened to Moses in all things, so we will listen to you. Only may YHWH your God be with you as He was with Moses.
Joshua 1:18	Any man who rebels against your command and does not heed your words in all that you command him shall be put to death. Only be strong and be of good courage.”
Joshua 2:1	And Joshua son of Nun sent out from Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, “Go, see the land, and especially Jericho.” And they went, and came to the house of a woman, a prostitute, and her name [was] Rahab, and they lay down there.
Joshua 2:2	And it was said to the king of Jericho, saying, “Behold, men have come here tonight from the sons of Israel to search out the land.”
Joshua 2:3	And the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, “Bring out the men who are coming in to you, who have entered your house, for they have come in to search out all of the land.”
Joshua 2:4	And the woman took the two men and hid them, and she said, “Indeed, the men came to me; I did not know from where they [were].
Joshua 2:5	And it came to pass, [when] the gate was about to be shut in the darkness, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you⁺ may overtake them.”
Joshua 2:6	(And she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the flax stalks, which she had arranged on the roof.)
Joshua 2:7	And the men pursued them by the road to the Jordan to the fords, and they shut the gate afterward, when those who pursued them had gone out.
Joshua 2:8	And before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof.
Joshua 2:9	And she said to the men, “I know that YHWH has given to you⁺ the land, and that the terror of you⁺ has fallen on us, so that all those dwelling in the land have melted because of you⁺.
Joshua 2:10	For we have heard how YHWH dried up the waters of the Red Sea before your⁺ faces in your⁺ going out of Egypt, and what you⁺ did to the two kings of the Amorite who [were] beyond the Jordan, Sihon and Og, that you⁺ devoted them to destruction.
Joshua 2:11	And we heard, and our hearts melted, and there did not stand the spirit anymore in any man before your⁺ faces, for YHWH your⁺ God, He [is] God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath.
Joshua 2:12	And now swear to me, please, by YHWH, since I have shown you⁺ kindness, that you⁺ also will show kindness to the house of my father, and give to me a sign of truth,
Joshua 2:13	and spare my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, and all that [is] unto them, and deliver our lives from death.”
Joshua 2:14	And the men answered her, “Our lives for yours⁺ to die. If you⁺ do not tell this matter of ours, then it shall come to pass, when YHWH has given us the land, that we will deal with you with kindness and faithfulness.”
Joshua 2:15	And she let them down by a rope through the window, for her house [was] in the side of the wall, and she [was] dwelling in the wall.
Joshua 2:16	And she said to them, “Go to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you⁺, and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers have returned. And afterward you⁺ may go your⁺ way.”
Joshua 2:17	And the men said to her, “We [will be] blameless of this oath of yours, which you have made us swear,
Joshua 2:18	unless we come into the land and this line of scarlet cord you have tied in the window through which you let us down, and unless your father, and your mother, and your brothers, and all the house of your father, you have gathered to your own house.
Joshua 2:19	And it shall come to pass [that] anyone who goes out from the doors of your house to the outside, his blood [will be] on his own head, and we [will be] guiltless. And anyone who is with you in the house, his blood [will be] on our head if a hand is laid on him.
Joshua 2:20	And if you tell this matter of ours, we will be free from your oath that you have made us swear.”
Joshua 2:21	And she said, “According to your⁺ words, so [be] it.” And she sent them away, and they departed, and she tied the scarlet cord in the window.
Joshua 2:22	And they departed and went to the mountain and stayed there three days, until the pursuers returned. And the pursuers sought [them] all along the way, and did not find [them].
Joshua 2:23	And the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and they came to Joshua son of Nun and told him all that had found them.
Joshua 2:24	And they said to Joshua, “Truly YHWH has delivered into our hands all the land. For indeed, all those dwelling in the land are fainthearted at our presence.”
Joshua 3:1	And Joshua rose early in the morning, and they set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the sons of Israel, and they lodged there before they passed over.
Joshua 3:2	And it came to pass after three days that the officers passed over in the midst of the camp,
Joshua 3:3	and they commanded the people, saying, “When you⁺ see the ark of the covenant of YHWH your⁺ God, and the priests, the Levites, lifting it, you⁺ shall set out from your⁺ place and go after it.
Joshua 3:4	Yet there shall be a space between you⁺ and between it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near to it, so that you⁺ may know the way that you⁺ must go, for you⁺ have not passed by this way from yesterday and the day before yesterday.”
Joshua 3:5	And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow YHWH will do wonders among you⁺.”
Joshua 3:6	And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, “Take up the ark of the covenant and pass over before the faces of the people.” And they took up the ark of the covenant and went before the faces of the people.
Joshua 3:7	And YHWH said to Joshua, “This day I will begin to exalt you in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may know that as I was with Moses, I will be with you.
Joshua 3:8	And You shall command the priests who bear the ark of the covenant, saying, ‘When you⁺ have come to the edge of the water of the Jordan, you⁺ shall stand in the Jordan.’”
Joshua 3:9	And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “Draw near here and listen to the words of YHWH your⁺ God.”
Joshua 3:10	And Joshua said, “By this you⁺ shall know that the living God [is] among you⁺, that He will surely dispossess from before you⁺ the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Hivite, and the Perizzite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Jebusite.
Joshua 3:11	Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is passing over before you⁺ into the Jordan.
Joshua 3:12	And now take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel—one man—one man for a tribe.
Joshua 3:13	And it shall come to pass at the resting of the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of YHWH, the Lord of all the earth, in the waters of the Jordan, [that] the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off—the waters that come down from above—and they shall stand as one heap.”
Joshua 3:14	And it came to pass, in the journeying of the people from their camp to pass over the Jordan, and of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people,
Joshua 3:15	and at those bearing the ark coming in to the Jordan, and the feet of the priests who bore the ark being dipped into the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows on all its banks all of the days of the harvest),
Joshua 3:16	that the waters stood still—those coming down from above—[and] rose in one heap very far away at Adam, the city that [is] beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea) failed, having been cut off, and the people passed over opposite Jericho.
Joshua 3:17	And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH stood on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan, firm, and all Israel passed over on dry ground until that all the people had finished passing over the Jordan.
Joshua 4:1	And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over the Jordan, that YHWH spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:2	“Take for yourselves from the people twelve men—one man—one man from a tribe.
Joshua 4:3	And command them, saying, ‘Take for yourselves from this [place] out of the midst of the Jordan, from the place where stood firm the priests’ feet, twelve stones, and you⁺ shall carry them over with you⁺ and leave them in the lodging place, in which you⁺ lodge tonight.’”
Joshua 4:4	And Joshua called to twelve men, whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel—one man—one man from a tribe.
Joshua 4:5	And Joshua said to them, “Pass over before the face of the ark of YHWH your⁺ God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up for yourselves each man one stone on his shoulder, by the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,
Joshua 4:6	so that this may be a sign among you⁺ when your⁺ children ask hereafter, saying, ‘What [are] these stones to you⁺?’
Joshua 4:7	And you⁺ shall say to them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off from the face of the ark of the covenant of YHWH. When it passed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the sons of Israel even to forever.”
Joshua 4:8	And the sons of Israel did so, as Joshua had commanded, and they took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as YHWH had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and they carried them over with them to the lodging place and laid them down there.
Joshua 4:9	And Joshua set up and two [and] ten stones in the midst of the Jordan, under the standing place of the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant. And they are there to this day.
Joshua 4:10	And the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan, until the completion of all that YHWH had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua. And the people hurried and passed over.
Joshua 4:11	And it came to pass, when all the people had finished passing over, that the ark of YHWH and the priests passed over before the faces of the people.
Joshua 4:12	And the men of Reuben, and the men of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh passed over armed before the faces of the sons of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.
Joshua 4:13	About forty thousand armed ones of the host passed over before the face of YHWH for battle to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 4:14	On that day YHWH exalted Joshua in the eyes of all Israel, and they feared him as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Joshua 4:15	And YHWH spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 4:16	“Command the priests who bear the ark of the Testimony to come up from the Jordan.”
Joshua 4:17	And Joshua commanded the priests, saying, “Come up from the Jordan.”
Joshua 4:18	And it came to pass, when had come the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH from the midst of the Jordan, the soles of the feet of the priests having touched unto the dry land, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place and overflowed as yesterday and the day before yesterday, over all its banks,
Joshua 4:19	and the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month, and they camped in Gilgal on the border east of Jericho.
Joshua 4:20	And these twelve stones that they took out of the Jordan, Joshua set up in Gilgal.
Joshua 4:21	And he spoke to the sons of Israel, saying, “When your⁺ sons ask their fathers hereafter, saying, ‘What [are] these stones?’
Joshua 4:22	And you⁺ shall let your⁺ sons know, saying, ‘On the dry land Israel passed over this Jordan.’
Joshua 4:23	For YHWH your⁺ God dried up the waters of the Jordan before your⁺ faces until you⁺ had passed over, as YHWH your⁺ God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had passed over,
Joshua 4:24	that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of YHWH, that it [is] mighty, so that you⁺ may fear YHWH your⁺ God all the days.”
Joshua 5:1	And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorite who [were] on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanite who [were] along the sea, heard that YHWH had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the face of the sons of Israel until they passed over, that their heart melted, and there was no longer a spirit in them, because of the face of the sons of Israel.
Joshua 5:2	At that time said YHWH to Joshua, “Make for yourself flint knives, and turn back [and] circumcise the sons of Israel the second [time].”
Joshua 5:3	And Joshua made for himself flint knives, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
Joshua 5:4	And this [is] the reason that Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt, males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they had come out of Egypt.
Joshua 5:5	For all the people who came out were circumcised, and all the people born in the wilderness on the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
Joshua 5:6	For forty years the sons of Israel walked in the wilderness, until all the people of the men of war who came out of Egypt were consumed because they did not obey the voice of YHWH, whom YHWH swore to them that He would not show the land that YHWH had sworn to their fathers that He would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Joshua 5:7	And their sons, raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
Joshua 5:8	And it came to pass, when they had finished circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
Joshua 5:9	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you⁺.” And the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.
Joshua 5:10	And the sons of Israel camped in Gilgal and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho.
Joshua 5:11	And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened [bread] and roasted grain, on this same day.
Joshua 5:12	And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, and the sons of Israel had no more manna, and they ate the food of the land of Canaan in that year.
Joshua 5:13	And it came to pass, in Joshua being by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand, and Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “[Are] You for us or for our enemies?”
Joshua 5:14	And He said, “Neither, for I, Commander of the army of YHWH, have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”
Joshua 5:15	And the Commander of the army of YHWH said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place on which you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.
Joshua 6:1	And Jericho was tightly shut up because of the sons of Israel. None went out, and none came in.
Joshua 6:2	And YHWH said to Joshua, “See, I have given into your hand Jericho and its king—mighty ones of valor.
Joshua 6:3	And you⁺ shall march around the city, all [you] men of war, going all around the city one time. This you shall do for six days.
Joshua 6:4	And seven priests shall bear the seven shofars of rams before the face of the ark. And the seventh day you⁺ shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow on the shofars.
Joshua 6:5	And it shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the horn of the ram, in your⁺ hearing the voice of the shofar, that all the people shall shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people will go up, every man straight before him.”
Joshua 6:6	And Joshua son of Nun called to the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven shofars of rams before the face of the ark of YHWH.”
Joshua 6:7	And he said to the people, “Pass over and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the face of the ark of YHWH.”
Joshua 6:8	And it was, when had spoken Joshua to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams before the face of YHWH passed over and blew on the shofars—and the ark of the covenant of YHWH followed them.
Joshua 6:9	And the armed ones went before the face of the priests who blew the shofars, and the rear guard came after the ark—going on and blowing on the shofars.
Joshua 6:10	And the people Joshua had commanded, saying, “You⁺ shall not shout, nor make your⁺ voice heard, nor shall proceed out of your⁺ mouth a word until the day I say to you⁺ to shout. Then you⁺ shall shout.”
Joshua 6:11	And the ark of YHWH compassed the city, going around [it] one time, and they came into the camp and lodged in the camp.
Joshua 6:12	And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of YHWH.
Joshua 6:13	And the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams before the face of the ark of YHWH kept marching and blowing on the shofars—and the armed men went before their faces, and the rear guard came after the ark of YHWH—going on and blowing on the shofars.
Joshua 6:14	And they marched around the city the second day one time and returned to the camp. Thus they did for six days.
Joshua 6:15	And it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in this manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times.
Joshua 6:16	And it came to pass the seventh time, the priests having blown on the shofars, that Joshua said to the people, “Shout! For YHWH has given to you⁺ the city.
Joshua 6:17	And the city shall be devoted to destruction, it and all who [are] in it, by YHWH. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who [are] with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.
Joshua 6:18	And surely you⁺ keep away from a devoted thing, lest you⁺ become accursed, and you⁺ take from a devoted thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Joshua 6:19	And all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, it [is] holy to YHWH. It shall enter into the treasury of YHWH.”
Joshua 6:20	And the people shouted. And they blew on the shofars, and it came to pass when heard the people the voice of the shofar, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat. And the people went up into the city, a man straight before him, and they took the city.
Joshua 6:21	And they devoted to destruction all that [was] in the city—from man and to woman, from young and to old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey—with the mouth of the sword.
Joshua 6:22	And to the two men who had spied out the country, Joshua had said, “Go into the house of the woman, the prostitute, and bring out from there the woman and all that [is] unto her, as you⁺ swore to her.”
Joshua 6:23	And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that [was] unto her. And all her relatives they brought out and placed them at the outside of the camp of Israel.
Joshua 6:24	And the city they burned with the fire, and all that [was] in it. Only the silver and the gold, and the vessels of the bronze and the iron, they put into the treasury of the house of YHWH.
Joshua 6:25	And Rahab the prostitute and the house of her father and all that [was] belonged to her, Joshua spared; and she dwells in the midst of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.
Joshua 6:26	And Joshua charged [them] at that time, saying, “Cursed [be] the man before the face of YHWH who rises up and builds this city, Jericho. With his firstborn he shall lay its foundation and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.”
Joshua 6:27	And YHWH was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the land.
Joshua 7:1	And the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—against a devoted thing. For Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted thing. And the anger of YHWH burned against the sons of Israel.
Joshua 7:2	And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai—which [is] near Beth-aven on the east side of Bethel—and spoke to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land.” And the men went up and spied out Ai.
Joshua 7:3	And they returned to Joshua and said to him, “Do not let all the people go up, but let about two thousand men or three thousand men go up and attack Ai. Do not wear out all the people there, for they [are] few.”
Joshua 7:4	And the people went up from there, about three thousand men, and they fled before the face of the men of Ai.
Joshua 7:5	And the men of Ai struck down from them about thirty and six men, and they chased them from the face of the gate as far as Shebarim, and they struck them down on the descent. And the hearts of the people melted and became water.
Joshua 7:6	And Joshua tore his clothes and fell on his face to the earth before the face of the ark of YHWH until the evening, he and the elders of Israel, and they put dust on their heads.
Joshua 7:7	And Joshua said, “Alas, O Lord YHWH, why did You ever cause this people to pass over the Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorite, to destroy us? And if only we had been content and had stayed on the other side of the Jordan!
Joshua 7:8	O my Lord, what shall I say now that Israel has turned its back before the face of its enemies?
Joshua 7:9	For the Canaanite and all those dwelling in the land will hear [it], and they will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?”
Joshua 7:10	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Get up, for you—why [is] this—you are falling on your face?
Joshua 7:11	Israel has sinned and also they have transgressed My covenant that I commanded them, and also they have taken from the devoted thing, and both have stolen and deceived, and also they have put [it] among their vessels.
Joshua 7:12	And the sons of Israel are not able to stand before the faces of their enemies; the backs are turned before the faces of their enemies, because they have become devoted to destruction. Not anymore will I be with you⁺, if you⁺ do not destroy the devoted thing from among you⁺.
Joshua 7:13	Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says YHWH, God of Israel: A devoted thing is among you, O Israel. You are not able to stand before the faces of your enemies until your⁺ turning aside of the devoted thing from among you⁺.
Joshua 7:14	And you⁺ shall be brought near in the morning according to your⁺ tribes, and it shall come to pass [that] the tribe that YHWH takes shall come according to the clans, and the family that YHWH takes shall come by the houses, and the house that YHWH takes shall come by the man.
Joshua 7:15	And it shall be [that] he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with the fire, he and all that [is] unto him, because he has transgressed the covenant of YHWH, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’”
Joshua 7:16	And Joshua rose early in the morning and brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.
Joshua 7:17	And He brought the clan of Judah, and he took the family of the Zerahites, and he brought the family of the Zerahites by the man, and Zabdi was taken.
Joshua 7:18	And he brought his house by the man, and Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Joshua 7:19	And Joshua said to Achan, “My son, give, please, glory to YHWH, God of Israel, and make to Him confession and tell now me what you have done. Do not hide [it] from me.”
Joshua 7:20	And Achan answered Joshua and said, “Truly I have sinned against YHWH, God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Joshua 7:21	And I saw among the spoils one beautiful cloak of Shinar, and two hundred shekels of silver, and one wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, and I coveted them and took them, and there they are hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver [is] under it.”
Joshua 7:22	And Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent, and there it was hidden in his tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua 7:23	And they took them from the midst of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the sons of Israel, and poured them out before the face of YHWH.
Joshua 7:24	And Joshua took Achan son of Zerah, and the silver, and the cloak, and the wedge of the gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his donkeys, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that [was] unto him, and all Israel with him, and they brought them to the Valley of Achor.
Joshua 7:25	And Joshua said, “Why have you troubled us? YHWH will trouble you this day!” And all Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with the fire after they had stoned them with stones.
Joshua 7:26	And they raised up over him a great heap of stones, to this day. And YHWH turned from the burning of His anger. Upon thus has been called the name of that place the Valley of Achor, to this day.
Joshua 8:1	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed. Take with you all the people of war and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.
Joshua 8:2	And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and to its king; only its spoil and its cattle you⁺ shall take as plunder for yourselves. Set up to you an ambush for the city behind it.”
Joshua 8:3	And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai, and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night.
Joshua 8:4	And he commanded them, saying, “Behold, you⁺ shall lie in ambush against the city, from behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, and all of you⁺ be ready.
Joshua 8:5	And I and all the people who [are] with me will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before their faces.
Joshua 8:6	And they will come out after us until we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing before our faces as at the first.’ And we will flee before their faces,
Joshua 8:7	and you⁺ shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for YHWH your⁺ God will deliver it into your⁺ hands.
Joshua 8:8	And it shall come to pass, when you⁺ have taken the city, [that] you⁺ shall set the city on fire. According to the commandment of YHWH you⁺ shall do. See, I have commanded you⁺.”
Joshua 8:9	And Joshua sent them out, and they went to the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and between Ai, on the west side of Ai. And Joshua lodged that night in the midst of the people.
Joshua 8:10	And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the face of the people to Ai.
Joshua 8:11	And all the people of war who [were] with him went up, and drew near, and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai, and the valley [was] between them and between Ai.
Joshua 8:12	And he took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and between Ai, on the west side of the city.
Joshua 8:13	And they had set the people, all the army that [was] on the north of the city, and its rear guard on the west of the city, and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Joshua 8:14	And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw [it], that they hurried and rose early and went out—the men of the city—against Israel into battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the face of the plain. And he did not know that an ambush [was] against him behind the city.
Joshua 8:15	And Joshua and all Israel were struck before their faces, and they fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua 8:16	And all the people who [were] in the city were called together to pursue after them, and they pursued after Joshua, and they were drawn away from the city.
Joshua 8:17	And there was left not a man in Ai and Bethel who did not go out after Israel. And they left the city open and pursued after Israel.
Joshua 8:18	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Stretch out the battle lance that [is] in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the battle lance that [was] in his hand toward the city.
Joshua 8:19	And the ambush arose quickly out of its place, and they ran at the stretching out of his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and they hurried and burned the city with the fire.
Joshua 8:20	And the men of Ai looked behind them, and they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the heavens. And there was not power in them to flee here or there, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.
Joshua 8:21	And Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, and they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:22	And these came out of the city to meet them, and they were in the midst of Israel, these from this [side] and these from this [side], and they struck them down until he left to him no survivor or escapee.
Joshua 8:23	And the king of Ai they took alive, and they brought him to Joshua.
Joshua 8:24	And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all those dwelling in Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and they had fallen (all of them by the edge of the sword until they were consumed), that all Israel returned to Ai and struck it with the mouth of the sword.
Joshua 8:25	And all who fell that day, from man and to woman, were two [and] ten thousand—all the men of Ai.
Joshua 8:26	For Joshua did not draw back his hand with which he stretched out the battle lance until that he had devoted to destruction all those dwelling in Ai.
Joshua 8:27	Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel plundered for themselves, according to the word of YHWH that He had commanded Joshua.
Joshua 8:28	And Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation to this day.
Joshua 8:29	And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the time of the evening; and at the going in of the sun, Joshua commanded that they should take down his corpse from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones to this day.
Joshua 8:30	Then Joshua built an altar to YHWH, God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
Joshua 8:31	as Moses the servant of YHWH had 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 has not wielded iron.” And they offered on it burnt offerings to YHWH, and they sacrificed peace offerings.
Joshua 8:32	And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written before the faces of the sons of Israel.
Joshua 8:33	And all Israel, and its elders, and [its] officers, and its judges, stood on this [side] and on this [side] of the ark before the priests, the Levites who bore the ark of the covenant of YHWH, as the sojourner as the native. Half of them [were] toward the front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them toward the front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded, that they should bless the people of Israel at the first.
Joshua 8:34	And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and the cursings, according to all written in the Book of the Law.
Joshua 8:35	There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded that Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, and the women, and the little ones, and the sojourner who was living among them.
Joshua 9:1	And it came to pass, when heard all the kings who [were] on this side of the Jordan, in the hills, and in the Shephelah, and in all the coasts of the Great Sea, over toward Lebanon (the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite),
Joshua 9:2	that they gathered together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one mouth.
Joshua 9:3	And those dwelling in Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
Joshua 9:4	and they also worked craftily, and they went and acted as envoys, and they took old sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins [that were] old and torn and mended,
Joshua 9:5	and sandals [that were] old and patched on their feet, and old garments on themselves, and all the bread of their provision was dry—it had become crumbs.
Joshua 9:6	And they went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, “From a distant country we have come, and now make with us a covenant.”
Joshua 9:7	And the men of Israel said to the Hivite, “Perhaps among us you are dwelling, and how can I cut with you a covenant?”
Joshua 9:8	And they said to Joshua, “We [are] your servants.” And Joshua said to them, “Who [are] you⁺, and from where have you⁺ come?”
Joshua 9:9	And they said to him, “Your servants have come from a country very distant, because of the name of YHWH your God. For we have heard of His fame and all that He did in Egypt,
Joshua 9:10	and all that He did to the two kings of the Amorite who [were] beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan who [was] at Ashtaroth.
Joshua 9:11	And our elders and all those dwelling in our country spoke to us, saying, ‘Take with you⁺ provisions for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them: We [are] your⁺ servants, and now make with us a covenant.’
Joshua 9:12	This hot bread of ours we took as provision out from our houses on the day we departed to come to you⁺. And, behold, it is dry and has become crumbs.
Joshua 9:13	And these skins of wine, which we filled new, behold, they are torn. And these our garments and our sandals have become old from the exceeding greatness of the way.”
Joshua 9:14	And the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and the mouth of YHWH they did not ask.
Joshua 9:15	And Joshua made peace with them, and he cut a covenant with them to let them live, and the rulers of the congregation swore to them.
Joshua 9:16	And it came to pass at the end of three days after that they had cut a covenant with them, that they heard that they [were] neighbors to them, and they dwelt among them.
Joshua 9:17	And the sons of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. And their cities [were] Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.
Joshua 9:18	The sons of Israel did not attack them, because the rulers of the congregation had sworn to them by YHWH, God of Israel. And all the congregation complained against the rulers.
Joshua 9:19	And all the rulers said to all the congregation, “We have sworn to them by YHWH, God of Israel, and now we may not touch them.
Joshua 9:20	This we will do to them: We will let them live, and wrath will not be upon us, because of the oath that we have sworn to them.”
Joshua 9:21	And the rulers said to them, “Let them live; and let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water for all the congregation,” which the rulers had spoken to them.
Joshua 9:22	And Joshua called for them and he spoke to them, saying, “Why have you⁺ deceived us, saying, ‘We [are] very far from you⁺’, and you⁺ dwell among us’?
Joshua 9:23	And now cursed [are] you⁺, and none of you⁺ shall be freed from being slaves and woodcutters and drawers of water for the house of my God.”
Joshua 9:24	And they answered Joshua and said, “Because it was surely declared to your servants that YHWH your God commanded Moses His servant to give to you⁺ all the land and to destroy all those dwelling in the land from before you⁺, we were afraid exceedingly for our lives because of you⁺, and we have done this thing.
Joshua 9:25	And here we are in your hands; as [is] good and right to do with us, do to us.”
Joshua 9:26	And he did to them so, and he snatched them way out of the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they did not kill them.
Joshua 9:27	And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of YHWH, even to this day, in the place that He would choose.
Joshua 10:1	And it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and devoted it to destruction (as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and how those dwelling in Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,
Joshua 10:2	that they feared greatly, because Gibeon [was] a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it [was] greater than Ai, and all its men [were] mighty.
Joshua 10:3	Therefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, and to Piram king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Joshua 10:4	“Come up to me and help me, that we may attack Gibeon. For it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel.”
Joshua 10:5	And five kings of the Amorite—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon—gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and they camped before Gibeon and made war against it.
Joshua 10:6	And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp at Gilgal, saying, “Do not forsake your servants. Come up to us quickly, and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorite who dwell in the hill country have gathered together against us.”
Joshua 10:7	And Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor.
Joshua 10:8	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for into your hand I have given them. Not a man of them shall stand before you.”
Joshua 10:9	And Joshua came upon them suddenly, having gone up all the night from Gilgal.
Joshua 10:10	And YHWH routed them before the face of Israel, and he struck them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and he pursued them along the road of the ascent of Beth-horon, and he struck them as far as Azekah and Makkedah.
Joshua 10:11	And it came to pass, as they fled before Israel (they [were] on the descent of Beth-horon), that YHWH cast down on them large hailstones from the heavens as far as Azekah, and they died. [There were] more who died from the hailstones than the sons of Israel killed with the sword.
Joshua 10:12	Then Joshua spoke to YHWH in the day when YHWH delivered up the Amorite before the face of the sons of Israel, and he said in the eyes of Israel, “O Sun over Gibeon stand still, and O Moon in the Valley of Aijalon.”
Joshua 10:13	And the sun stood still, and the moon stood, until the nation took vengeance upon its enemies. Is it not written in the Scroll of the Upright one? “And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and did not hurry to go [down] for about a whole day.”
Joshua 10:14	And there has not been a day like it before it or after it, that YHWH heeded the voice of a man; for YHWH fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:15	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Joshua 10:16	And these five kings had fled and hidden themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Joshua 10:17	And it was told to Joshua, saying, “The five kings have been found hidden in the cave at Makkedah.”
Joshua 10:18	And Joshua said, “Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and set by it men to guard them.
Joshua 10:19	And you⁺, do not stay there; pursue after your⁺ enemies and attack the rear of them. Do not allow them to enter into their cities, for YHWH your⁺ God has delivered them into your⁺ hands.”
Joshua 10:20	And it came to pass [that] Joshua and the sons of Israel made an end of striking them with a very great slaughter, until they had finished, and the remnant of them escaped and entered into the fortified cities.
Joshua 10:21	And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace. Not a man sharpened his tongue against the sons of Israel.
Joshua 10:22	And Joshua said, “Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out to me these five kings from the cave.”
Joshua 10:23	And they did so, and they brought out to him these five kings from the cave—the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, [and] the king of Eglon.
Joshua 10:24	And it was, when they brought out these kings to Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and he said to the captains of the men of war who went with him, “Come near, put your⁺ feet on the necks of these kings.” And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.
Joshua 10:25	And Joshua said to them, “Do not be afraid nor be dismayed. Be strong and of good courage, for thus YHWH will do to all your⁺ enemies against whom you⁺ are fighting.”
Joshua 10:26	And Joshua struck them after this and killed them, and he hanged them on five trees, and they were hanging on the trees until the evening.
Joshua 10:27	And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun [that] Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees and cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and they put large stones against the mouth of the cave, until this very day.
Joshua 10:28	And Joshua took Makkedah on that day, and he struck it with the mouth of the sword, and its king. He devoted to destruction them and every person who [was] in it; he let none remain. And He did to the king of Makkedah as He had done to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:29	And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Makkedah to Libnah, and they fought against Libnah.
Joshua 10:30	And YHWH also delivered it into the hand of Israel, and its king, and he struck it with the mouth of the sword, and every person who [was] in it. He let none in it remain, and he did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.
Joshua 10:31	And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Libnah to Lachish, and they encamped against it and fought against it.
Joshua 10:32	And YHWH delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, and he took it on the second day and struck it with the mouth of the sword, and every soul who [was] in it, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Joshua 10:33	Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua struck him and his people, until he did not have left to him a remnant.
Joshua 10:34	And Joshua passed over, and all Israel with him, from Lachish to Eglon, and they encamped against it and fought against it.
Joshua 10:35	And they took it on that day and struck it with the mouth of the sword. And every person who [was] in it that day he devoted to destruction, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Joshua 10:36	And Joshua went up, and all Israel with him, from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it.
Joshua 10:37	And they took it and struck it with the mouth of the sword, and its king, and all its cities, and every person who [was] in it. He left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he devoted to destruction it and every person who [was] in it.
Joshua 10:38	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and they fought against it.
Joshua 10:39	And he took it, and its king, and all its cities, and they struck them with the mouth of the sword, and they devoted to destruction every person who [was] in it; he left none remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, and as he had done to Libnah and its king.
Joshua 10:40	And Joshua conquered all the land of the hill country, and the Negev, and the Shephelah, and the slopes, and all their kings. He left none remaining, and all that breathed he devoted to destruction, as YHWH, God of Israel, had commanded.
Joshua 10:41	And Joshua conquered them from Kadesh-barnea and as far as Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, and as far as Gibeon.
Joshua 10:42	And all these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, because YHWH, God of Israel, fought for Israel.
Joshua 10:43	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.
Joshua 11:1	And it came to pass [that] Jabin king of Hazor heard, and he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Joshua 11:2	and to the kings who [were] from the north in the hill country, and in the plain south of Chinnereth, and in the Shephelah, and in Naphoth-dor on the west,
Joshua 11:3	to the Canaanite in the east and in the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite below Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
Joshua 11:4	And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people as numerous as the sand that [is] on the shore of the sea in multitude, and a horse and a chariot—very many.
Joshua 11:5	And all these kings met together, and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
Joshua 11:6	And YHWH said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before the face of Israel. Their horses you shall hamstring and their chariots you shall burn with the fire.”
Joshua 11:7	And Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them.
Joshua 11:8	And YHWH delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them down and they chased them to Greater Sidon and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward. And they struck them down until he did not leave to them a remnant.
Joshua 11:9	And Joshua did to them as YHWH had told him; their horses he hamstrung and their chariots he burned with the fire.
Joshua 11:10	And Joshua turned back at that time, and he took Hazor, and he struck its king with the sword, for Hazor formerly was the head of all these kingdoms.
Joshua 11:11	And they struck every soul that [was] in it with the mouth of the sword, devoting [them] to destruction. There was not left anyone breathing. And he burned Hazor with the fire.
Joshua 11:12	And all the cities of these kings and all their kings Joshua took, and he struck them with the mouth of the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded.
Joshua 11:13	Yet any cities that stood on their mounds Israel did not burn—except Hazor only, [which] Joshua burned.
Joshua 11:14	And all the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the sons of Israel plundered for themselves. But every man they struck with the mouth of the sword, until they had completely destroyed them; [and] they left not anyone breathing.
Joshua 11:15	As YHWH had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses had commanded Joshua. And so Joshua did; he left undone not a thing of all that YHWH had commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:16	And Joshua took all this land: The hill country, and all the Negev, and all the land of Goshen, and the Shephelah, and the plain, and the mountains of Israel, and its lowland,
Joshua 11:17	from Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, and to Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And all their kings He captured, and struck them and killed them.
Joshua 11:18	Many days Joshua made war with all these kings.
Joshua 11:19	There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel—except the Hivite dwellers of Gibeon—they took all in battle.
Joshua 11:20	For it was of YHWH to strengthen their hearts to engage in battle with Israel, in order that they would be devoted to destruction [and that] they would not receive favor, but that he might destroy them as YHWH had commanded Moses.
Joshua 11:21	And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel with their cities. Joshua devoted them to destruction.
Joshua 11:22	None were left of the Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did they remain.
Joshua 11:23	And Joshua took all the land, according to all that YHWH had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Joshua 12:1	And these [are] the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel defeated, and they possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon and all the plain eastward:

Joshua 12:7	And these [are] the kings of the country that Joshua and the sons of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan on the west, from Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon and as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, and which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel [as] a possession (according to their divisions
Joshua 12:8	in the hill country, and in the Shephelah, and in the [Jordan] plain, and in the slopes, and in the wilderness, and in the Negev—the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite):

Joshua 13:1	And Joshua was old, advanced in years, and YHWH said to him, “You are old, advanced in years, and very much of the land remains to be possessed.
Joshua 13:2	This [is] the land that remains: All the territory of the Philistines and all of the Geshurite,
Joshua 13:3	from Shihor, which [is] upon the face of Egypt, and as far as the border of Ekron northward, to the Canaanite it is reckoned; the five lords of the Philistines—the Gazite, and the Ashdodite, the Ashkelonite, the Gittite, and the Ekronite; and the Avite;

Joshua 13:5	and the land of the Gebalites; and all Lebanon toward the rising of the sun, from Baal-gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance to Hamath.
Joshua 13:6	All those dwelling in the hill country from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth-maim—all the Sidonians—I will drive them out from before the sons of Israel; only divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.
Joshua 13:7	And now divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.”
Joshua 13:8	With it, the Reubenite and the Gadite received their inheritance, which Moses had given them beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of YHWH had given to them:
Joshua 13:9	From Aroer which [is] on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that [is] in the midst of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon;

Joshua 13:12	all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei; he remained of the remnant of the Rephaim, for Moses had defeated and dispossessed them.
Joshua 13:13	And the sons of Israel did not drive out the Geshurite or the Maachathite, and the Geshurite and Maacah dwell in the midst of Israel until this day.
Joshua 13:14	Only to the tribe of Levi he had given no inheritance; the fire offerings of YHWH, God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He said to them.
Joshua 13:15	And Moses had given to the tribe of the sons of Reuben by their clans.
Joshua 13:16	And their territory was from Aroer which [is] on the bank of the River Arnon, and the city that [is] in the midst of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba,
Joshua 13:17	Heshbon and all its cities that [are] in the plain, Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,

Joshua 13:22	And Balaam son of Beor, the soothsayer, the sons of Israel killed with the sword, among those who were killed by them.
Joshua 13:23	And the border of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan and [its] bank. This [was] the inheritance of the sons of Reuben by their clans, the cities and their villages.
Joshua 13:24	And Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, to the sons of Gad by their clans.
Joshua 13:25	And their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites, as far as Aroer which [is] upon the face of Rabbah;
Joshua 13:26	and from Heshbon to Ramath-mizpeh and Betonim, and from Mahanaim to the border of Debir;

Joshua 13:31	and half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, [were] for the sons of Machir son of Manasseh, for half of the sons of Machir by their clans.
Joshua 13:32	These [are] that which Moses had distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side of the Jordan by Jericho eastward.
Joshua 13:33	And to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance; YHWH, God of Israel, was their inheritance, as He had said to them.
Joshua 14:1	And these [are] the sons of Israel who inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest and Joshua son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel, distributed as an inheritance to them.
Joshua 14:2	Their inheritance [was] by lot, as YHWH had commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.
Joshua 14:3	For Moses had given the inheritance to two of the tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of the Jordan; and to the Levites he had given not an inheritance in their midst.
Joshua 14:4	For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they gave no portion to the Levites in the land, but only cities to dwell [in], with their pasturelands for their livestock and their property.
Joshua 14:5	As YHWH had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Joshua 14:6	And the sons of Judah came near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word that YHWH said to Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning you in Kadesh-barnea.
Joshua 14:7	I [was] a son of forty years when Moses the servant of YHWH sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought back to him word as with my heart.
Joshua 14:8	And my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, and I wholly followed after YHWH my God.
Joshua 14:9	And Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Nevertheless, the land where your foot has trodden in it shall be to you for an inheritance, and to your sons, even to forever, because you have wholly followed YHWH my God.’
Joshua 14:10	And, behold, YHWH has kept me alive as He said these forty and five years, from when YHWH spoke this word to Moses when Israel wandered in the wilderness; and, behold, I [am] this day a son of five and eighty years.
Joshua 14:11	Yet I [am] this day [as] strong as on the day that Moses sent me. As my power [was] then, so [is] my power now, for war, and to go out and come in.
Joshua 14:12	And now, give to me this mountain, of which YHWH spoke in that day, for you heard in that day how the Anakim [were] there, and the cities [were] great [and] fortified. Perhaps YHWH will be with me, and I will dispossess them as YHWH has spoken.”
Joshua 14:13	And Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.
Joshua 14:14	Upon thus Hebron was to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite the inheritance to this day, because that he wholly followed YHWH, God of Israel.
Joshua 14:15	(And the name of Hebron formerly [was] Kiriath-arba; he [was] the great man among the Anakim.) And the land had rest from war.
Joshua 15:1	And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah by their clans was unto the border of Edom, the Wilderness of Zin southward from the end of the south:
Joshua 15:2	And their southern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward.
Joshua 15:3	And it went out to the southern side of the Ascent of Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and ascended from the Negev of Kadesh-barnea, and passed over to Hezron, and went up to Addar, and went around toward Karka.
Joshua 15:4	And it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the Brook of Egypt, and the outgoings of the border were at the sea. This shall be their southern border.
Joshua 15:5	And the eastern border [was] the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the border [began] on the northern quarter at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.
Joshua 15:6	And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
Joshua 15:7	And the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which [is] before the Ascent of Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the ravine. And the border continued toward the waters of En-shemesh, and it ended at En-rogel.
Joshua 15:8	And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite (that [is], Jerusalem), and the border went up to the top of the hill that [is] upon the face of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom westward, which [is] at the end of the Valley of the Rephaim northward.
Joshua 15:9	And the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and it went out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and the border went around to Baalah (that [is], Kiriath-jearim).

Joshua 15:11	And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward, and the border went around to Shicron, and passed over to mount Baalah, and went on [to] Jabneel; and ended the border at the sea.
Joshua 15:12	And the western border [was] the Great Sea and [its] coastline. This [is] the boundary of the sons of Judah all around by their clans.
Joshua 15:13	And to Caleb son of Jephunneh he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the commandment of YHWH to Joshua—Kiriath-arba (the father of Anak), that [is], Hebron.
Joshua 15:14	And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak.
Joshua 15:15	And he went up from there to those dwelling in Debir; and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kiriath-sepher.
Joshua 15:16	And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath-sepher and takes it, I will give to him Acsah my daughter as wife.”
Joshua 15:17	And Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave to him Acsah his daughter for a wife.
Joshua 15:18	And it came to pass, in her coming in, that she persuaded him to request from her father a field. And she dismounted from [her] donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you [want]?”
Joshua 15:19	And she answered, “Give to me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, give to me springs of water.” And he gave to her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Joshua 15:20	This [was] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah by their clans.
Joshua 15:21	And the cities at the limits of the tribe of the sons of Judah were toward the border of Edom in the Negev: Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,

Joshua 15:63	And as for the Jebusite, those dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out, and the Jebusite dwell with the sons of Judah in Jerusalem to this day.
Joshua 16:1	And the lot for the sons of Joseph went out from the Jordan by Jericho to the waters of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goes up from Jericho in the hill country of Bethel,
Joshua 16:2	and it went out from Bethel, [that is] Luz, and passed over to the border of the Archite at Ataroth,
Joshua 16:3	and went down westward to the border of the Japhletite, as far as the boundary of Lower Beth-Horon, and to Gezer, and it ended at the sea.
Joshua 16:4	And the sons of Joseph—Manasseh and Ephraim—took their inheritance.
Joshua 16:5	And [this] was the border of the sons of Ephraim by their clans: And the border of their inheritance on the east side was Ataroth-Addar as far as Upper Beth-horon,
Joshua 16:6	and the border went out toward the sea from Michmethath on the north side. And the border went around eastward toward Taanath-shiloh and passed over it on the east of Janoah.
Joshua 16:7	And it went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, and reached to Jericho, and came out at the Jordan.
Joshua 16:8	From Tappuah the border went out westward to the Brook of Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This [was] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim by their clans.
Joshua 16:9	And the separate cities [were] for the sons of Ephraim in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Manasseh, all the cities and their villages.
Joshua 16:10	And they did not drive out the Canaanite dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwelt in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and he came to be for forced labor, serving.
Joshua 17:1	And there was a lot for the tribe of Manasseh, for he [was] the firstborn of Joseph, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh the father of Gilead, because he was a man of war, and were given to him Gilead and Bashan.
Joshua 17:2	And there was for the remaining sons of Manasseh—for their clans, for the sons of Abiezer, and the sons of Helek, and the sons of Asriel, and the sons of Shechem, and the sons of Hepher, and the sons of Shemida; these [were] the sons of Manasseh son of Joseph, males by their clans.
Joshua 17:3	And Zelophehad son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh, had unto him no sons, but only daughters. And these [are] the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Joshua 17:4	And they came near before the face of Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua son of Nun, and before the rulers, saying, “YHWH commanded Moses to give to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” And he gave to them according to the commandment of YHWH an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.
Joshua 17:5	And ten portions fell to Manasseh, besides the land of Gilead and Bashan that [was] on the other side of the Jordan,
Joshua 17:6	because the daughters of Manasseh received an inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Gilead was for the rest of the sons of Manasseh.

Joshua 17:12	And the sons of Manasseh could not occupy these cities, and the Canaanite was determined to dwell in this land.
Joshua 17:13	And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanite to forced labor; and they did not dispossess him completely.
Joshua 17:14	And the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, “Why have you given to me an inheritance of one lot and one portion, when I [am] a numerous people, forasmuch as that until now YHWH has blessed us?”
Joshua 17:15	And Joshua answered to them, “If you [are] a great people, [then] go up to the forest and create for yourself there in the land of the Perizzite and the Rephaim, since the mountains of Ephraim are too confined for you.”
Joshua 17:16	And the sons of Joseph said, “The hill country is not enough for us, and a chariot of iron is with every Canaanite who is dwelling in the land of the valley who [are] of Beth-shean and its daughters, and who [are] of the Valley of Jezreel.”
Joshua 17:17	And Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, “You [are] a great people, and great power [is] unto you. Not just one lot shall be unto you.
Joshua 17:18	But the hill country shall be unto you, because it [is] wooded. And you shall cut it down, and its farthest extent shall be unto you, for you shall drive out the Canaanite, though a chariot of iron [is] unto him, and though he is strong.”
Joshua 18:1	And all the congregation of the sons of Israel assembled at Shiloh, and they set up there the Tent of Meeting, and the land was subdued before them.
Joshua 18:2	And there remained among the sons of Israel seven tribes that had not yet received their inheritance.
Joshua 18:3	And Joshua said to the sons of Israel, “How long will you⁺ neglect to go in to possess the land that YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers, has given to you⁺?
Joshua 18:4	Appoint from among you⁺ three men for the tribe, and I will send them, and they shall rise and go through the land and survey it according to their inheritance, and they shall come to me.
Joshua 18:5	And they shall divide it into seven parts. Judah shall remain in their territory on the south, and the house of Joseph shall remain in their territory on the north.
Joshua 18:6	And you⁺ shall write down the land [in] seven portions and bring it to me here, that I may cast for you⁺ lots here before the face of YHWH our God.
Joshua 18:7	But no portion [is] for the Levites in your⁺ midst, for the priesthood of YHWH [is] their inheritance. And Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave them.”
Joshua 18:8	And the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to write down the land, saying, “Go and walk up and down in the land, and describe it, and return to me, and here I will cast for you⁺ lots before the face of YHWH in Shiloh.”
Joshua 18:9	And the men went and passed through the land, and they wrote it down by the cities in seven parts in a book, and they came to Joshua at the camp in Shiloh.
Joshua 18:10	And Joshua cast for them lots in Shiloh before the face of YHWH, and there Joshua divided the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.
Joshua 18:11	And came up the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin by their clans, and the territory of their lot came out between the sons of Judah and between the sons of Joseph.
Joshua 18:12	And their border began on the north side at the Jordan, and the border went up to the shoulder of Jericho on the north, and it went up through the hill country westward, and its outgoing was at the Wilderness of Beth-aven.
Joshua 18:13	And the border went over from there toward Luz, to the shoulder of Luz (that [is], Bethel) southward, and the border descended to Ataroth-addar, near the hill that [is] on the south of Lower Beth-horon.
Joshua 18:14	And the border extended and has gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that [is] at the front of Beth-horon southward, and it ended at Kiriath-baal (that [is], Kiriath-jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This [was] the west side.
Joshua 18:15	And the south side [is] at the end of Kiriath-jearim, and the border extended on the west and went out to the spring at the Waters of Nephtoah.
Joshua 18:16	And the border came down to the end of the mountain that [is] upon the face of the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, which [is] in the Valley of Rephaim on the north, and descended to the Valley of Hinnom, to the shoulder of the Jebusite on the south, and descended to En-rogel.
Joshua 18:17	And it went around from the north, and went out to En-shemesh, and extended toward Geliloth, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan son of Reuben,
Joshua 18:18	and it passed over to the slope of Beth-arabah northward, and went down to the Arabah.
Joshua 18:19	And the border passed over to the shoulder of Beth-hoglah northward, and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This [is] the south border.
Joshua 18:20	And the Jordan bordered it on the east side. This [was] the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to its boundaries all around, by their clans.

Joshua 20:1	And YHWH spoke to Joshua, saying,
Joshua 20:2	“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I spoke to you⁺ by the hand of Moses,
Joshua 20:3	for the fleeing there of the manslayer who kills a person in error, without knowledge. And they shall be unto you⁺ a refuge from the avenger of the blood.
Joshua 20:4	And he flees to one of these cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares in the ears of the elders of that city his case, and they shall take him into the city as one of them and give to him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Joshua 20:5	And if the avenger of the blood pursues after him, they shall not shut up the manslayer into his hand, because without knowing he struck his neighbor; he did not hate him from yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Joshua 20:6	And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the face of the congregation for judgment, [and] until the death of the high priest who is in those days. Then the manslayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled.”

Joshua 20:9	These were the cities appointed for all the sons of Israel, and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for the fleeing there of anyone striking a person in error, that he would not die by the hand of the avenger of the blood until his standing before the face of the congregation.

Joshua 21:41	All the cities of the Levites in the midst of the possession of the sons of Israel [were] forty-eight cities and their pasturelands.
Joshua 21:42	These cities were each city and its pasturelands surrounding it. And [were] all these cities.
Joshua 21:43	And YHWH gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they possessed it and dwelt in it.
Joshua 21:44	And YHWH gave rest to them all around, according to all that He had sworn to their fathers, and not a man stood against them of all their enemies; all their enemies YHWH delivered into their hands.
Joshua 21:45	Not a word failed of any good thing that YHWH had spoken to the house of Israel; everything came to pass.
Joshua 22:1	Then Joshua called the Reubenite and the Gadite and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua 22:2	and he said to them, “You⁺ have kept all that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you⁺, and you⁺ have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you⁺.
Joshua 22:3	You⁺ have not left your⁺ brothers these many days up to this day, and you⁺ have kept the charge of the commandment of YHWH your⁺ God.
Joshua 22:4	And YHWH your⁺ God has given rest to your⁺ brothers as He promised to them, and now return and go for yourselves to your⁺ tents [and] to the land of your⁺ possession, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave to you⁺ on the other side of the Jordan.
Joshua 22:5	Only greatly take heed to do the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you⁺, to love YHWH your⁺ God, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments, and to hold fast to Him, and to serve Him with all your⁺ heart and with all your⁺ soul.”
Joshua 22:6	And Joshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went to their tents.
Joshua 22:7	(And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [a possession] in Bashan, and to half of it Joshua had given among their brothers on this side of the Jordan westward.) And indeed, when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them
Joshua 22:8	and spoke to them, saying, “With great riches return to your⁺ tents, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your⁺ enemies with your⁺ brothers.”
Joshua 22:9	And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh turned back and departed from the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had acquired according to the word of YHWH by the hand of Moses.
Joshua 22:10	And they came to Geliloth near the Jordan, which [is] in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar great in appearance.
Joshua 22:11	And the sons of Israel heard it said, “Behold, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built the altar over against the border of the land of Canaan in the region of the Jordan on the side of the sons of Israel.”
Joshua 22:12	And the sons of Israel heard, and the whole congregation of the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go to war against them.
Joshua 22:13	And the sons of Israel sent to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest,
Joshua 22:14	and ten leaders with him, one leader, one leader from the house of a father of every tribe of Israel; and each one was the head of the house of his father among the divisions of Israel.
Joshua 22:15	And they came to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
Joshua 22:16	“Thus says the whole congregation of YHWH: ‘What [is] this treachery that you⁺ have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following YHWH, in that you⁺ have built for yourselves an altar, that you⁺ might rebel this day against YHWH?
Joshua 22:17	Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day? And there was a plague in the congregation of YHWH.
Joshua 22:18	And you⁺ turn away this day from following YHWH? And if it comes to pass that you⁺ rebel today against YHWH, tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
Joshua 22:19	And nevertheless, if the land of your⁺ possession [is] unclean, [then] pass over to the land of the possession of YHWH, where the tabernacle of YHWH stands, and take possession in our midst. And against YHWH do not rebel, and against us do not rebel, by building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of YHWH our God.
Joshua 22:20	Did not Achan son of Zerah act unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—with the devoted thing, so that wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And not only he, one man, perished in his iniquity.’”
Joshua 22:21	And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and said to the heads of the divisions of Israel,
Joshua 22:22	“God of gods—YHWH, God of gods—YHWH, He knows, and Israel He does know. If [it is] in rebellion or if in treachery against YHWH, do not save us this day!
Joshua 22:23	If we have built for ourselves an altar to turn from following YHWH, or if to offer on it burnt offerings or grain offerings, or if to offer on it peace offerings, YHWH Himself will require [it].
Joshua 22:24	And nevertheless, we have done [it] from fear of this thing, saying, hereafter your⁺ sons may speak to our seed, saying, ‘And what have you⁺ to do with YHWH, God of Israel?
Joshua 22:25	For YHWH a border has given between us and between you⁺, sons of Reuben and sons of Gad—the Jordan. To you⁺ [is] no portion in YHWH.’ And your⁺ sons would make our sons cease from fearing YHWH.
Joshua 22:26	And we said, ‘Let us now prepare ourselves to build the altar—not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice—
Joshua 22:27	but [that] a witness it [may be] between us and between you⁺ and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of YHWH before Him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings,’ that your⁺ sons may not say hereafter to our sons, ‘To you⁺ [is] no portion in YHWH.’
Joshua 22:28	And we said, ‘And it will come to pass, when they say [this] to us or to our generations hereafter, that we may say: Here is the replica of the altar of YHWH, which our fathers made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices, but a witness it [is] between us and between you⁺.’
Joshua 22:29	Far be it from us that we should rebel against YHWH and turn this day from following YHWH to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of YHWH our God which [is] before His tabernacle.”
Joshua 22:30	And Phinehas the priest and the princes of the congregation and the heads of the divisions of Israel who [were] with him heard the words that the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh, spoke, and it pleased them.
Joshua 22:31	And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh, “This day we perceive that YHWH [is] in our midst, because you⁺ have not committed this treachery against YHWH. Therefore, you⁺ have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of YHWH.”
Joshua 22:32	And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest and the leaders returned from the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and they brought back to them word.
Joshua 22:33	And the word was pleasing in the eyes of the sons of Israel; and the sons of Israel blessed God, and they spoke no more of going against them in battle to destroy the land that the sons of Reuben and of Gad were dwelling in.
Joshua 22:34	And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaimed of the altar that, “It [is] a witness between us that YHWH [is] God.”
Joshua 23:1	And it came to pass a long time after when YHWH had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua was old; he had entered into days.
Joshua 23:2	And Joshua called for all Israel, for its elders, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its officers, and he said to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days.
Joshua 23:3	And You⁺ have seen all that YHWH your⁺ God has done to all these nations before your⁺ faces, for YHWH your⁺ God [is] He who has fought for you⁺.
Joshua 23:4	See, I have divided by lot to you⁺ these remaining nations, to be an inheritance for your⁺ tribes, from the Jordan, and with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the Great Sea toward the setting of the sun.
Joshua 23:5	And YHWH your⁺ God, He will expel them from before you⁺ and drive them out of your⁺ sight; and you⁺ shall possess their land as YHWH your⁺ God has spoken to you⁺.
Joshua 23:6	And be very courageous to keep and to do everything written in the Book of the Law of Moses, lest you turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,
Joshua 23:7	[and] lest you go among these nations, these remaining among you⁺, and the name of their gods you⁺ shall not mention nor cause one to swear [by them], and you⁺ shall not serve them and not bow down to them.
Joshua 23:8	For but to YHWH your⁺ God you⁺ shall hold fast, as you⁺ have done to this day.
Joshua 23:9	And YHWH has driven out from before you⁺ great and mighty nations; and [as for] you⁺, a man has not been able to stand against you⁺ to this day.
Joshua 23:10	One man of you⁺ shall chase a thousand, for YHWH your⁺ God [is] He who is fighting for you⁺ as He promised to you⁺.
Joshua 23:11	And exceedingly take heed to yourselves that you love YHWH your⁺ God.
Joshua 23:12	For if you⁺ at all turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations, these that remain among you⁺, and make marriages with them, and go in to them, and they to you⁺,
Joshua 23:13	[then] know for sure that YHWH your⁺ God will no longer drive out these nations from before you⁺, and they shall be to you⁺ snares and traps and scourges on your⁺ sides, and thorns in your⁺ eyes, until you⁺ perish from this good land that YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺.
Joshua 23:14	And behold, I [am] going this day the way of all the earth, and you⁺ know in all your⁺ hearts and in all your⁺ souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things that YHWH your⁺ God has spoken concerning you⁺. All have come to pass for you⁺; not one word has failed.
Joshua 23:15	And it will come to pass that as have come upon you⁺ all the good things that YHWH your⁺ God has spoken to you⁺, so YHWH will bring upon you⁺ all the word of evil, until He has destroyed you⁺ from this good land that YHWH your⁺ God has given to you⁺.
Joshua 23:16	In your⁺ transgressing the covenant of YHWH your⁺ God that He commanded you⁺, and have gone and served other gods and bowed down to them, the anger of YHWH will burn against you⁺, and you⁺ shall perish quickly from the good land that He has given to you⁺.”
Joshua 24:1	And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and he called for the elders of Israel, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its officers; and they presented themselves before the face of God.
Joshua 24:2	And Joshua said to all the people, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘On the other side of the River dwelt Your⁺ fathers of old—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they served other gods.
Joshua 24:3	And I took your⁺ father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave to him Isaac.
Joshua 24:4	And I gave to Isaac Jacob and Esau, and I gave to Esau Mount Seir to possess, and Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
Joshua 24:5	And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt by what I did among them, and afterward I brought you⁺ out.
Joshua 24:6	And I brought your⁺ fathers out of Egypt, and you⁺ came to the sea. And Egypt pursued after your⁺ fathers with chariot and with horsemen to the Red Sea.
Joshua 24:7	And they cried out to YHWH, and He put darkness between you⁺ and between the Egyptians, and He brought upon them the sea and covered them, and your⁺ eyes saw what I did against Egypt, and you⁺ dwelt in the wilderness many days.
Joshua 24:8	And I brought you⁺ into the land of the Amorite, the ones dwelling on the other side of the Jordan, and they fought with you⁺. And I gave them into your⁺ hands, and you⁺ possessed their land, and I destroyed them from before your⁺ faces.
Joshua 24:9	And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and he sent and called Balaam son of Beor to curse you⁺.
Joshua 24:10	And I was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he blessed you⁺ again and again. And I delivered you⁺ out of his hand.
Joshua 24:11	And you⁺ went over the Jordan and came to Jericho, and the men of Jericho fought against you⁺, [and] the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. And I delivered them into your⁺ hands.
Joshua 24:12	And I sent before your⁺ faces the hornet, and it drove them out from before your⁺ faces—two kings of the Amorite—not by your sword and not by your bow.
Joshua 24:13	And I have given to you⁺ a land on which you did not labor, and cities that you⁺ did not build, and you⁺ dwell in them. You⁺ are eating of vineyards and olive groves that you⁺ did not plant.’
Joshua 24:14	And now, fear YHWH and serve Him in sincerity and in truth. And put away the gods that your⁺ fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt, and Serve YHWH!
Joshua 24:15	And if it seems evil in your⁺ eyes to serve YHWH, choose for yourselves this day whom you⁺ will serve, whether the gods that your⁺ fathers served that [were] on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorite, in whose land you⁺ are dwelling. And I and my house, we will serve YHWH!”
Joshua 24:16	And the people answered and said, “Far be it from us that we should forsake YHWH to serve other gods!
Joshua 24:17	For YHWH our God [is] He who brought us and our fathers up from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, and who did in our sight these great signs, and preserved us in all the way that we went in it, and in all the people among whom we passed.
Joshua 24:18	And YHWH drove out all the people, and the Amorite who dwelt in the land, from before us. We also will serve YHWH, for He [is] our God!”
Joshua 24:19	And Joshua said to the people, “You⁺ are not able to serve YHWH, for He [is] a holy God; He [is] a jealous God. He will not lift your⁺ transgressions and your⁺ sins.
Joshua 24:20	If you⁺ forsake YHWH and serve foreign gods, He will turn and do harm to you⁺ and consume you⁺ after that He has done good to you⁺.”
Joshua 24:21	And the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve YHWH!”
Joshua 24:22	And Joshua said to the people, “You⁺ [are] witnesses against yourselves that you⁺ have chosen for yourselves YHWH, to serve Him.” And they said, “Witnesses!”
Joshua 24:23	“And now, put away the foreign gods that [are] among you⁺ and incline your⁺ heart to YHWH, God of Israel.”
Joshua 24:24	And the people said to Joshua, “We will serve YHWH our God, and to His voice we will listen.”
Joshua 24:25	And Joshua cut a covenant with the people that day, and he set for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Joshua 24:26	And Joshua wrote these words in the Book of the Law of God, and he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that [was] by the sanctuary of YHWH.
Joshua 24:27	And Joshua said to all the people, “Behold, this stone shall be to us a witness, for it has heard all the words of YHWH that He spoke to us. And it will be for a witness against you⁺, lest you⁺ deny your⁺ God.”
Joshua 24:28	And Joshua sent away the people, each man to his inheritance.
Joshua 24:29	And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, the servant of YHWH, died, a son of a hundred and ten years.

Joshua 24:32	And the bones of Joseph that the sons of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, they buried at Shechem in the plot of the ground that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred kesitah, and it was to the sons of Joseph for an inheritance.

Judges 1:1	And it came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel asked of YHWH, saying, “Who shall go up for us against the Canaanite as the first to fight against them?”
Judges 1:2	And YHWH said, “Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”
Judges 1:3	And Judah said to Simeon his brother, “Come up with me into my allotment, that we may fight against the Canaanite. And will go likewise I with you into your allotment.” And Simeon went with him.
Judges 1:4	And Judah went up, and YHWH delivered the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they struck them in Bezek—ten thousand men.
Judges 1:5	And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek and fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Judges 1:6	[And] Adoni-bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and his feet.
Judges 1:7	And Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings, with the thumbs of their hands and their feet cut off, have been scavenging under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Judges 1:8	And the sons of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and they took it, and they struck it with the mouth of the sword, and they sent the city into fire.

Judges 1:13	And Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, took it. And he gave to him Acsah his daughter as wife.
Judges 1:14	And it came to pass in her coming in, that she urged him to ask from her father the field. And she dismounted from [her] donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What [shall be] unto you?”
Judges 1:15	And she said to him, “Give to me a blessing. Since the land of the Negev you have given me, give to me springs of water.” And Caleb gave to her the upper springs and the lower springs.

Judges 1:18	And Judah took Gaza and its territory, and Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.
Judges 1:19	And YHWH was with Judah, and he possessed the hill country. But he did not dispossess those dwelling in the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Judges 1:20	And they gave to Caleb Hebron, as Moses had said, and he dispossessed from there the three sons of Anak.

Judges 1:22	And the house of Joseph went up—even they—against Bethel, and YHWH [was] with them.
Judges 1:23	And the house of Joseph they sent to spy out in Bethel (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Judges 1:24	and the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Show us, please, the entrance to the city, and we will show you kindness.”
Judges 1:25	And he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the mouth of the sword. And the man and all his family they sent away.
Judges 1:26	And the man went to the land of the Hittites and built a city, and he called its name Luz; that [is] its name to this day.
Judges 1:27	And Manasseh did not dispossess those of Beth-shean and its villages, and Taanach and its villages, and those dwelling in Dor and its villages, and those dwelling in Ibleam and its villages, and those dwelling in Megiddo and its villages; for the Canaanite were determined to dwell in this land.

Judges 2:1	And the angel of YHWH came up from Gilgal to Bochim and said, “I led you⁺ up out of Egypt and brought you⁺ to the land of which I swore to your⁺ fathers, and I said, ‘I will not break My covenant with you⁺ forever.
Judges 2:2	And you⁺ shall not cut a covenant with those dwelling in this land; their altars you⁺ shall tear down.’ You⁺ have not obeyed My voice. What [is] this you⁺ have done?
Judges 2:3	And also I said, I will not drive them out before you⁺, and they shall be unto you⁺ in the sides, and their gods shall be unto you⁺ a snare.”
Judges 2:4	And it came to pass, when the angel of YHWH spoke these words to all the sons of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice and they wept.
Judges 2:5	And they called the name of that place Bochim, and they sacrificed there to YHWH.
Judges 2:6	And Joshua dismissed the people, and the sons of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.
Judges 2:7	And the people served YHWH all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who had lengthened their days after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of YHWH that He had done for Israel.
Judges 2:8	And Joshua son of Nun, the servant of YHWH, died, a son of a hundred and ten years.
Judges 2:9	And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.
Judges 2:10	And all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, and another generation arose after them who did not know YHWH nor the work that He had done for Israel.
Judges 2:11	And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they served the Baals,
Judges 2:12	and they forsook YHWH, God of their fathers, who had brought them out from the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods from the gods of the peoples who [were] around them, and they bowed down to them, and they provoked to anger YHWH.
Judges 2:13	And they forsook YHWH and did service to Baal and to the Ashtoreths.
Judges 2:14	And the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of plunderers, and they plundered them, and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, and they were not able anymore to stand before the faces of their enemies.
Judges 2:15	In all that they went out, the hand of YHWH was against them for calamity, as YHWH had said, and as had sworn YHWH to them; and they were distressed greatly.
Judges 2:16	And YHWH raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those plundering them.
Judges 2:17	Yet to their judges they would not listen, but they played the prostitute with other gods and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers had walked to listen to the commandments of YHWH; they did not do so.
Judges 2:18	And YHWH raised up for them judges, and YHWH was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for YHWH was moved to pity by their groaning, because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.
Judges 2:19	And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back and acted corruptly more than their fathers, going after other gods to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their deeds and from their stubborn way.
Judges 2:20	And the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and He said, “Because that this nation has transgressed My covenant that I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to My voice,
Judges 2:21	I also will not continue to dispossess any before their faces from the nations that Joshua left when he died,
Judges 2:22	in order to test by them Israel, whether they are going to keep the ways of YHWH, to walk in them as their fathers kept [them], or not.”
Judges 2:23	And YHWH left these nations so as not to dispossess them immediately, and He did not deliver them into the hand of Joshua.
Judges 3:1	And these [are] the nations that YHWH left, that He might test by them Israel, all who had not known any of the wars of Canaan,
Judges 3:2	only so that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught to know war, only those who formerly had not known it:
Judges 3:3	Five princes of the Philistines, and all the Canaanite, and the Sidonian, and the Hivite that dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon to Lebo-hamath.
Judges 3:4	And they were to test by them Israel, to know whether they would heed the commandments of YHWH, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Judges 3:5	And the sons of Israel dwelt among the Canaanite, the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Judges 3:6	And they took their daughters to be their wives, and they gave their daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
Judges 3:7	And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they forgot YHWH their God, and they served the Baals and the Asherahs.

Judges 3:9	And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH, and YHWH raised up a deliverer for the sons of Israel, and he delivered them—Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb—from it.
Judges 3:10	And the Spirit of YHWH came upon him, and he judged Israel and he went out to war. And YHWH delivered into his hand Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram, and his hand prevailed over Cushan-rishathaim.
Judges 3:11	And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel son of Kenaz died.
Judges 3:12	And the sons of Israel again did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because that they had done evil in the eyes of YHWH.
Judges 3:13	And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and defeated Israel, and they took possession of the City of Palms.
Judges 3:14	And the sons of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.
Judges 3:15	And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH, and YHWH raised up a deliverer for them, Ehud son of Gera the Benjamite, a man impeded in his right hand. And the sons of Israel sent by his hand tribute to Eglon king of Moab.
Judges 3:16	And Ehud made himself a dagger, and it had two edges a cubit in length. And he fastened it under his cloak on his right thigh.
Judges 3:17	And he brought the tribute to Eglon king of Moab. And Eglon [was] a very fat man.
Judges 3:18	And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who had carried the tribute.
Judges 3:19	And he himself turned back from the stone images that [were] at Gilgal, and said, “I have a secret message for you, O king.” And He said, “Silence!” And all attending him went out from him.
Judges 3:20	And Ehud came to him, and he was sitting in the cool upper chamber, which [was] private to him. And Ehud said, “I have a message from God for you.” And he arose from the throne.
Judges 3:21	And Ehud reached with his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.
Judges 3:22	And the hilt even went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly. And his excrement came out.
Judges 3:23	And Ehud went out through the porch and shut the doors of the upper room behind him and locked them.
Judges 3:24	And he had gone out, and Eglon’s servants came and looked. And behold, the doors of the upper room were locked. And they said, “He is only covering his feet in the cool inner chamber.”
Judges 3:25	And they waited until they felt ashamed, and still he had not opened the doors of the upper room. And they took the key and opened them, and behold, their master was fallen on the floor dead.
Judges 3:26	And Ehud had escaped while they delayed, and he passed beyond the stone images and escaped to Seirah.
Judges 3:27	And it came to pass when he arrived, that he blew on the shofar in the hill country of Ephraim, and went down with him the sons of Israel from the hills, and he [was] before their faces.
Judges 3:28	And he said to them, “Follow after me, for YHWH has delivered your⁺ enemies the Moabites into your⁺ hands.” And they went down after him and seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab, and did not allow anyone to pass over.
Judges 3:29	And they struck down at that time about ten thousand men of Moab, all stout and men of valor, and not a man escaped.
Judges 3:30	And Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest [for] eighty years.
Judges 3:31	And after him was Shamgar son of Anath, who killed six hundred men of the Philistines with an oxgoad. And he also delivered Israel.
Judges 4:1	And the sons of Israel again did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and Ehud was dead.
Judges 4:2	And YHWH sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. And the commander of his army [was] Sisera, and he dwelt in Harosheth-hagoyim.
Judges 4:3	And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH, for nine hundred chariots of iron [were] unto him, and he oppressed the sons of Israel harshly twenty years.
Judges 4:4	And Deborah, a woman, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she was judging Israel at that time.
Judges 4:5	And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and between Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim. And the sons of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Judges 4:6	And she sent and called for Barak son of Abinoam from Kedesh of Naphtali, and said to him, “Has not YHWH, God of Israel, commanded, ‘Go and draw out at Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun,
Judges 4:7	and I will draw out against you at the River Kishon Sisera, commander of the army of Jabin, and his chariots and his multitude, and I will deliver him into your hand’?”
Judges 4:8	And Barak said to her, “If you will go with me I will go, but if you will not go with me, I will not go.”
Judges 4:9	And she said, “I will surely go with you; only that there will not be glory for you in the journey that you are taking, for into the hand of a woman YHWH will sell Sisera.” And Deborah went and arose with Barak to Kedesh.
Judges 4:10	And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh, and he went up [with] ten thousand men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him.
Judges 4:11	And Heber the Kenite had separated himself from the Kenites of the sons of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and he pitched his tent near a great tree in Zaanannim, which [is] beside Kedesh.
Judges 4:12	And they reported to Sisera that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.
Judges 4:13	And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who [were] with him from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.
Judges 4:14	And Deborah said to Barak, “Arise, for this [is] the day that YHWH has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not YHWH gone out before you?” And Barak went down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men following him.
Judges 4:15	And YHWH routed Sisera, and all the chariots, and all the army, with the mouth of the sword before the face of Barak; and Sisera came down from the chariot and fled on foot.
Judges 4:16	And Barak pursued after the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the mouth of the sword; not even one remained.
Judges 4:17	And Sisera had fled on foot to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite, for [there was] peace between Jabin king of Hazor and between the house of Heber the Kenite.
Judges 4:18	And Jael went out to meet Sisera and said to him, “Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me. Fear not.” And he turned aside with her into the tent, and she covered him with a blanket.
Judges 4:19	And he said to her, “Give me to drink, please, a little water, for I am thirsty.” And she opened a jug of milk, and gave him a drink, and covered him.
Judges 4:20	And he said to her, “Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you and says, ‘Is there any man here?’ You shall say, ‘No.’”
Judges 4:21	And Jael the wife of Heber took a peg of the tent, and she put the hammer in her hand, and she went to him in secrecy and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground. For he was fast asleep and weary, and he died.
Judges 4:22	And behold, Barak pursued Sisera, and Jael came out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you seek.” And he went with her, and there Sisera lay dead, with the peg in his temple.
Judges 4:23	And God subdued on that day Jabin king of Canaan before the faces of the sons of Israel.
Judges 4:24	And the hand of the sons of Israel grew stronger, going on and becoming hard against Jabin king of Canaan, until that they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Judges 5:1	And Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
Judges 5:2	“When leaders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless YHWH.
Judges 5:3	Hear, O kings; give ear, O princes; I to YHWH, I will sing. I will sing to YHWH, God of Israel.
Judges 5:4	O YHWH, when You went out from Seir, when You marched from the field of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens poured down; also the clouds poured down water.
Judges 5:5	The mountains flowed before YHWH, this one—Sinai—before the face of YHWH, God of Israel.
Judges 5:6	In the days of Shamgar son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were deserted, and the travelers walked the crooked ways.
Judges 5:7	Village life ceased, in Israel it ceased, until I arose—Deborah Arose—a mother in Israel.
Judges 5:8	They chose new gods; then [there was] war in the gates. A shield was not seen, or a spear, among forty thousand in Israel.
Judges 5:9	My heart [is] with the rulers of Israel, who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless YHWH!
Judges 5:10	You who ride on white donkeys, who sit in judges’ attire, and who walk along the road, ponder
Judges 5:11	from the voice of the singers between the watering places. There they shall recount the righteous acts of YHWH, the righteous acts [for] His villagers in Israel. Then shall go down to the gates the people of YHWH.
Judges 5:12	‘Awake, awake, O Deborah; Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise, O Barak, and lead away your captives, O son of Abinoam.’
Judges 5:13	Then came down the survivors to the nobles; the people of YHWH came down for me against the mighty.
Judges 5:14	From Ephraim their root [is] in Amalek, after you Benjamin, with your peoples. From Machir came down commanders, and from Zebulun those drawing with the staff of a scribe.
Judges 5:15	And the princes of Issachar [were] with Deborah, and as Issachar, so [was] Barak; into the valley he was sent on his feet. Among the divisions of Reuben [were] great decrees of the heart.
Judges 5:16	Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben great [were] the searchings of heart.
Judges 5:17	Gilead dwelt beyond the Jordan, and Dan, why does he sojourn on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, and by his inlets he dwelt.
Judges 5:18	Zebulun [is] a people who exposed its soul to death, and Naphtali, on the heights of the field.
Judges 5:19	The kings came—they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; spoils of silver they did not take.
Judges 5:20	From the heavens the stars fought; from their courses they fought against Sisera.
Judges 5:21	The torrent of Kishon swept them away, the ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon. March on in strength, O my soul.
Judges 5:22	Then pounded the hooves of horses, from the galloping—the galloping of its mighty ones.
Judges 5:23	‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of YHWH. ‘Bitterly curse its dwellers, because they did not come to the aid of YHWH, to the aid of YHWH against the mighty.’
Judges 5:24	Most blessed above women is Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite; above women in the tent she is blessed.
Judges 5:25	Water he requested, milk she gave; in a Magnificent bowl she brought out curds.
Judges 5:26	Her hand to the tent peg she stretched, and her right hand to the hammer of workmen, and she pounded Sisera, she pierced his head, and she shattered and pierced through his temple.
Judges 5:27	Between her feet he sank, he fell, he lay still; between her feet he sank, he fell; where he sank, there he fell dead.
Judges 5:28	Through the window looked and cried out the mother of Sisera, through the lattice, ‘Why is his chariot so long in coming? Why do tarry the hoofbeats of his chariots?’
Judges 5:29	The wisest of her princesses answered her; indeed, she returns her words herself:
Judges 5:30	‘Do not they find [and] divide the loot—a womb [or] two wombs for every man; loot of dyed garments for Sisera, loot of embroidered dyed garments, two [pieces] of dyed embroidery for the neck of the looter?’
Judges 5:31	So may all Your enemies perish, O YHWH; and let those who love Him [be] like the sun when it rises in full strength.” And the land had rest forty years.
Judges 6:1	And the sons of Israel did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and YHWH delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Judges 6:2	And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. From the faces of the Midianite, the sons of Israel made for themselves the dens that [are] in the mountains and the caves and the strongholds.
Judges 6:3	And it came to pass, when Israel had sown, that Midian came up, and Amalek and the sons of the East, and they came up against him.
Judges 6:4	And they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth, as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, either sheep, or ox, or donkey.
Judges 6:5	For they and their livestock and their tents would come up, and they would come as the fullness of the locust for multitude. And of them and their camels [was] no number, and they would enter the land to destroy it.
Judges 6:6	And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianite, and the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH.
Judges 6:7	And it came to pass, when the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH on account of the Midianite,
Judges 6:8	that YHWH sent a prophet to the sons of Israel, who said to them, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: I brought you⁺ up from Egypt and brought you⁺ out of the house of slavery.
Judges 6:9	And I delivered you⁺ out of the hand of Egypt and out of the hand of all who oppressed you⁺, and I drove them out before your⁺ faces, and I gave to you⁺ their land.
Judges 6:10	And I said to you⁺, ‘I [am] YHWH your⁺ God. Do not fear the gods of the Amorite, in whose land you⁺ dwell.’ You⁺ have not listened to My voice.”
Judges 6:11	And the angel of YHWH came and sat under the oak that [was] in Ophrah, which [was] unto Joash the Abi-ezrite, and Gideon his son threshed wheat in the winepress to hide [it] from the face of the Midianite.
Judges 6:12	And the angel of YHWH appeared to him and said to him, “YHWH [is] with you, O mighty man of valor.”
Judges 6:13	And Gideon said to Him, “Please, my Lord, [if] YHWH is with us, why has all this happened to us? And where [are] all His miracles about which our fathers told us, saying, ‘Did not YHWH bring us up from Egypt?’ And YHWH has forsaken us and given us into the palm of Midian.”
Judges 6:14	And YHWH turned to him and said, “Go in this strength of yours, and you shall save Israel from the palm of Midian. Have not I sent you?”
Judges 6:15	And he said to Him, “Please, my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan [is] the poorest in Manasseh, and I [am] the least in the house of my father.”
Judges 6:16	And YHWH said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midianite as one man.”
Judges 6:17	And he said to Him, “If now I have found favor in Your eyes, show me a sign that You are speaking with me.
Judges 6:18	Do not, please, depart from this [place] until I come to You and bring out my offering and set [it] before Your face.” And He said, “I will wait until you come back.”
Judges 6:19	And Gideon went in and prepared a kid of the goats and an ephah of flour of unleavened [bread]. He put the flesh in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and he brought [them] out to Him, to under the oak, and brought [them] near.
Judges 6:20	And the angel of God said to him, “Take the flesh and the unleavened [bread] and lay [them] on this rock, and pour out the broth.” And he did so.
Judges 6:21	And the angel of YHWH stretched out the end of the staff that [was] in his hand, and he touched the flesh and the unleavened [bread], and the fire rose out of the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened [bread]. And the angel of YHWH departed out of his sight.
Judges 6:22	And Gideon perceived that it [was] the angel of YHWH. And Gideon said, “Alas, Lord YHWH! For upon that I have seen the angel of YHWH face to face.”
Judges 6:23	And YHWH said to him, “Peace [be] with you. Fear not; you shall not die.”
Judges 6:24	And Gideon built there an altar to YHWH, and he called it YHWH-Shalom. To this day it [is] still in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
Judges 6:25	And it came to pass that night, that YHWH said to him, “Take the young bull, that of your father, and the second bull, of seven years, and tear down the altar of Baal that [is] to your father, and cut down the Asherah pole that [is] beside it.
Judges 6:26	And build an altar to YHWH your God on top of this rock by the arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah pole that you shall cut down.”
Judges 6:27	And Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as YHWH had said to him. And because he feared the house of his father and the men of the city, to do [it] by day, he did [it] by night.
Judges 6:28	And the men of the city arose early in the morning, and behold, the altar of Baal was torn down, and the Asherah pole that [was] beside it was cut down, and the second bull was being offered on the altar—the built one.
Judges 6:29	And they said one to another, “Who has done this thing?” And they inquired and asked, and they said, “Gideon son of Joash has done this thing.”
Judges 6:30	And the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has torn down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah pole that [was] beside it.”
Judges 6:31	And Joash said to all who stood against him, “Would you⁺ plead for Baal, if you⁺ would save him? The one who would plead for him shall be put to death by the morning! If he [is] a god, let him plead for himself because has been torn down his altar.”
Judges 6:32	Therefore he called him on that day Jerubbaal, saying, “Let Baal plead against him because he has torn down his altar.”
Judges 6:33	And all the Midianite and Amalekite and the sons of the East gathered together, and they passed over and encamped in the Valley of Jezreel.
Judges 6:34	And the Spirit of YHWH came upon Gideon, and he blew on the shofar, and the Abiezrites gathered behind him.
Judges 6:35	And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh, and he also gathered after him. And He sent messengers to Asher, and Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.
Judges 6:36	And Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said,
Judges 6:37	behold, I shall put a fleece of the wool on the threshing floor. If dew there is on the fleece only, and on all the ground [it is] dry, I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand as You have said.”
Judges 6:38	And it was so, and he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece, and the dew he wrung out of the fleece, the fullness of the bowl of water.
Judges 6:39	And Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, and let me speak just once more. Let me test, please, only this time with the fleece. Let it be now dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground let there be dew.”
Judges 6:40	And God did so that night, and it was dry on the fleece only, and on all the ground there was dew.
Judges 7:1	And Jerubbaal (he [is] Gideon) rose early, and all the people who [were] with him, and they encamped beside the well of Harod, so that the camp of the Midianite was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.
Judges 7:2	And YHWH said to Gideon, “The people [are] too many who [are] with you for My giving the Midianite into their hands, lest Israel glorify itself against Me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’
Judges 7:3	And now proclaim, please, in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Who [is] fearful and afraid, let him turn and depart at once from Mount Gilead.’” And returned of the people twenty-two thousand; and ten thousand remained.
Judges 7:4	And YHWH said to Gideon, “Still the people [are] too many; bring them down to the water, and I will refine it for you there. And it will be [that] of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
Judges 7:5	And he brought down the people to the water. And YHWH said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps with his tongue from the water as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself, and likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.”
Judges 7:6	And the number of those lapping with their hand to their mouth was three hundred men; and all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
Judges 7:7	And YHWH said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who are lapping I will save you⁺ and deliver the Midianite into your hand; and let all the people go, every man to his place.”
Judges 7:8	And the people took provisions in their hands, and their shofars, and every man of Israel he sent away, every man to his tent, and on the three hundred men he kept hold, and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.
Judges 7:9	And it happened on that night that YHWH said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.
Judges 7:10	But if you are afraid to go down—go down, you and Purah your servant, to the camp,
Judges 7:11	and you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hand shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” And he went down, and Purah his young man, to the outpost of the armed men who [were] in the camp.
Judges 7:12	And the Midianite and Amalekite and all the sons of the East were lying in the valley as the locust in multitude, and their camels [were] without number, as the sand by the shore of the sea in multitude.
Judges 7:13	And Gideon had come, and there was a man telling to his companion a dream, and He said, “Behold, I have had a dream. And behold, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell, and it overturned upwards, and the tent collapsed.”
Judges 7:14	And his companion answered and said, “This [is] nothing except but the sword of Gideon son of Joash, a man of Israel. God has delivered into his hand Midian and all the camp.”
Judges 7:15	And it came to pass, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he bowed in worship, and he returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for YHWH has delivered into your⁺ hands the camp of Midian.”
Judges 7:16	And he divided the three hundred men [into] three companies, and he put shofars into the hand of every man, and empty pitchers, and torches in the midst of the pitchers.
Judges 7:17	And he said to them, “You⁺ shall look at me, and likewise you⁺ shall do. And behold, I am coming to the edge of the camp, and as I do, so you⁺ shall do.
Judges 7:18	And I will blow on the shofar, I and all who are with me, and you⁺ shall blow on the shofars—even you⁺—on every side of all the camp; and you⁺ shall say, ‘For YHWH and for Gideon.’”
Judges 7:19	And Gideon came, and the hundred men who [were] with him, to the outpost of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after the complete stationing of the guard. And they blew on the shofars and shattered the pitchers that [were] in their hands.
Judges 7:20	And the three companies blew on the shofars and broke the pitchers, and they held in their left hand the torches and in their right hand the shofars for blowing, and they cried out, “A sword for YHWH, and for Gideon.”
Judges 7:21	And every man stood in his place all around the camp, and all the camp ran and cried out and fled.
Judges 7:22	And the three hundred blew the shofars, and YHWH set the sword of every man against his companion and against all the camp, and the camp fled to Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.
Judges 7:23	And the men of Israel gathered together from Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued after the Midianite.
Judges 7:24	And Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianite and seize from them the watering places as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” And gathered together all the men of Ephraim and seized the watering places as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.
Judges 7:25	And they captured two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. And pursuing the Midianite and the heads of Oreb and Zeeb, they brought [them] to Gideon on the other side of the Jordan.
Judges 8:1	And the men of Ephraim said to him, “What [is] this thing you have done to us by not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?” And they contended with him in strength.
Judges 8:2	And he said to them, “What have I done now compared to you⁺? Are not the gleanings of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Judges 8:3	Into your⁺ hands God has delivered the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. And what was I able to do compared to you⁺?” Then their spirit subsided toward him when he said this word.
Judges 8:4	And Gideon came to the Jordan, passing over, he and the three hundred men who [were] with him, exhausted and pursuing.
Judges 8:5	And he said to the men of Succoth, “Give, please, loaves of bread to the people who [are] at my feet, for they are exhausted, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Judges 8:6	And the leaders of Succoth said, “Is the palm of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your army?”
Judges 8:7	And Gideon said, “Therefore, when YHWH has delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, I will tear your⁺ flesh with the thorns of the wilderness, and with briers.”
Judges 8:8	And he went up from there to Penuel, and spoke to them thus; and the men of Penuel answered him as had answered the men of Succoth.
Judges 8:9	And he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, “When I come back in peace, I will tear down this tower.”
Judges 8:10	And Zebah and Zalmunna [were] at Karkor, and their camps with them, about fifteen thousand, all who were left of all the camp of the sons of the East; for had fallen a hundred and twenty thousand men who drew the sword.
Judges 8:11	And Gideon went up by the road of those who dwell in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and he attacked the camp, and the camp was in security.
Judges 8:12	And Zebah and Zalmunna fled, and he pursued them, and he took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and all the camp he made tremble.
Judges 8:13	And Gideon son of Joash returned from battle along the Ascent of Heres.
Judges 8:14	And he caught a young man of the men of Succoth and questioned him, and he wrote down for him the leaders of Succoth and its elders—seventy-seven men.
Judges 8:15	And he came to the men of Succoth and said, “Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, about whom you⁺ taunted me, saying, ‘Is the palm of Zebah and Zalmunna now in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who [are] weary?’”
Judges 8:16	And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and he taught with them the men of Succoth.
Judges 8:17	And he tore down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.
Judges 8:18	And he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, “What kind of men [were they] whom you⁺ killed at Tabor?” And they answered, “As you [are], so [were] they; each one resembled the son of a king.”
Judges 8:19	And he said, “They [were] my brothers, the sons of my mother. [As] YHWH lives, if you⁺ had let them live, I would not kill you⁺.”
Judges 8:20	And he said to Jether his firstborn, “Rise [and] kill them.” And the youth would not draw his sword, for he was afraid, for he [was] still a youth.
Judges 8:21	And Zebah and Zalmunna said, “Rise yourself and kill us, for as the man, [is] his strength.” And Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent ornaments that [were] on the necks of their camels.
Judges 8:22	And the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and also your son, and your son’s son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.”
Judges 8:23	And Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you⁺, nor shall my son rule over you⁺. YHWH shall rule over you⁺.”
Judges 8:24	And Gideon said to them, “I would like to make a request of you⁺, that would give to me, each of you, the rings from his plunder.” (For gold rings [were] unto them, because they [were] Ishmaelites.)
Judges 8:25	And they answered, “We will give [them] gladly.” And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the rings from his plunder.
Judges 8:26	And the weight of the gold rings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold, apart from the crescent ornaments and pendants and purple robes that [were] on the kings of Midian, and apart from the chains that [were] around the necks of their camels.
Judges 8:27	And Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, in Ophrah. And all Israel played the prostitute with it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and to his house.
Judges 8:28	And Midian was subdued before the faces of the sons of Israel, so that no more they lifted up their head. And the country was quiet forty years in the days of Gideon.
Judges 8:29	And Jerubbaal son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Judges 8:30	And Gideon had seventy sons coming from his loin, for unto him were many wives,
Judges 8:31	and his concubine who [was] in Shechem, and she also bore him a son, and he called his name Abimelech.
Judges 8:32	And Gideon son of Joash died at a good old age, and he was buried in the tomb of Joash his father in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites.
Judges 8:33	And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel turned back and played the prostitute with the Baals, and they set up to them Baal-berith for a god.
Judges 8:34	And the sons of Israel did not remember YHWH their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side,
Judges 8:35	nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon) in accordance with the good that he had done for Israel.
Judges 9:1	And Abimelech son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to the brothers of his mother, and he spoke to them and to all the family of the house of the father of his mother, saying,
Judges 9:2	“Speak, please, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, ‘What [is] better for you⁺, [that] seventy men reign over you⁺, all sons of Jerubbaal, or [that] one man reigns over you⁺?’ And remember that I [am] your⁺ bone and your⁺ flesh.”
Judges 9:3	And the brothers of his mother spoke concerning him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words, and their heart was inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, “He [is] our brother.”
Judges 9:4	And they gave to him seventy [shekels] of silver from the temple of Baal-berith, and Abimelech hired with them worthless and reckless men, and they followed him.
Judges 9:5	And he went into the house of his father at Ophrah and killed his brothers, the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone. And Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, was left, because he hid himself.
Judges 9:6	And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all of Beth-millo, and they went and made Abimelech king beside the oak at the pillar that [was] in Shechem.
Judges 9:7	And they told Jotham, and he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and he lifted his voice and cried out and said to them, “Listen to me, O masters of Shechem, that God may listen to you⁺.
Judges 9:8	The trees have diligently gone to anoint over them a king. And they said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’
Judges 9:9	And the olive tree said to them, ‘Should I cease giving my oil, with which they honor God and men, and go to sway over the trees?’
Judges 9:10	And the trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come you, reign over us.’
Judges 9:11	And the fig tree said to them, ‘Should I cease my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to sway over the trees?’
Judges 9:12	And the trees said to the vine, ‘Come you, reign over us.’
Judges 9:13	And the vine said to them, ‘Should I cease my new wine, which cheers God and men, and go to sway over the trees?’
Judges 9:14	And all the trees said to the bramble, ‘Come you, reign over us.’
Judges 9:15	And the bramble said to the trees, ‘If in truth you⁺ anoint me as king over you⁺, come, take refuge in my shade. But if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.’
Judges 9:16	And now, if in truth and sincerity you⁺ have acted in making Abimelech king, and if you⁺ have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and if according to the deed of his hands you⁺ have done to him—
Judges 9:17	for my father fought for you⁺ and cast away his life from [him], and delivered you⁺ out of the hand of Midian.
Judges 9:18	And you⁺ have risen up against the house of my father this day and killed his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and made Abimelech son of his maidservant king over the men of Shechem, because he [is] your⁺ brother—
Judges 9:19	and if then in truth and sincerity you⁺ have acted with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, [then] rejoice in Abimelech and let him rejoice also in you⁺.
Judges 9:20	But if not, let fire come from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and Beth-millo, and let come fire from the men of Shechem and Beth-millo, and devour Abimelech.”
Judges 9:21	And Jotham ran away and fled, and he went to Beer and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Judges 9:22	And Abimelech had reigned over Israel three years,
Judges 9:23	and God sent a spirit of animosity between Abimelech and between the men of Shechem, and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,
Judges 9:24	for the coming in of the violence [to] the seventy the sons of Jerubbaal, and to place their blood on Abimelech their brother who killed them, and on the men of Shechem who aided him in the killing of his brothers.
Judges 9:25	And the men of Shechem set against him an ambush on the tops of the hills, and they robbed all who passed by them along that way. And it was told to Abimelech.
Judges 9:26	And Gaal son of Ebed came, and his brothers, and went over to Shechem. And the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
Judges 9:27	And they went out into the fields, and gathered from their vineyards, and trod and made merry. And they went into the house of their god and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.
Judges 9:28	And Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who [is] Abimelech, and who [is] Shechem, that we should serve him? Is [he] not the son of Jerubbaal? And [is not] Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem—and why should we serve him?
Judges 9:29	And if only were given this people into my hand, Abimelech I would remove.” I would say to Abimelech, “Increase your army and come out.”
Judges 9:30	And Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, and his anger was kindled.
Judges 9:31	And he sent messengers to Abimelech in deceit, saying, “Behold, Gaal son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem. And behold, they are fortifying the city against you.
Judges 9:32	And now get up by night, you and the people who [are] with you, and lie in wait in the field.
Judges 9:33	And it shall come to pass in the morning, at the rising of the sun, [that] you shall rise early and rush upon the city. And behold, he and the people who are with him will be coming out against you, and you may do to them as your hand finds.”
Judges 9:34	And Abimelech rose, and all the people who [were] with him, by night, and they lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.
Judges 9:35	And Gaal son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city, and Abimelech rose, and the people who [were] with him, from the ambush.
Judges 9:36	And Gaal saw the people, and he said to Zebul, “Behold, a people is coming down from the tops of the mountains.” And Zebul said to him, “The shadows of the mountains You are seeing as men.”
Judges 9:37	And Gaal added again to speak, and he said, “Behold, a people are coming down from the center of the land, and one company is coming from the way of the Oak of the Diviners.”
Judges 9:38	And Zebul said to him, “Where now is your mouth, with which you said, ‘Who [is] Abimelech, that we should serve him?’ [Is] this not the people whom you have despised? Go out, please, now, and fight against it.”
Judges 9:39	And Gaal went out before the faces of the masters of Shechem, and he fought with Abimelech.
Judges 9:40	And Abimelech chased him, and he fled from him, and many fell wounded as far as the entrance of the gate.
Judges 9:41	And Abimelech dwelt in Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers from dwelling in Shechem.
Judges 9:42	And it came to pass on the next day that the people went out into the field. And they declared [it] to Abimelech.
Judges 9:43	And he took the people and divided them into three companies and lay in wait in the field, and he looked, and behold, the people were coming out of the city; and he rose up against them and attacked them.
Judges 9:44	And Abimelech and the company that [was] with him rushed forward and stood at the entrance of the gate of the city, and the two companies rushed upon all who [were] in the fields, and struck them.
Judges 9:45	And Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he took the city, and he killed the people who [were] in it, and he tore down the city and sowed it with salt.
Judges 9:46	And all the men of the tower of Shechem had heard, and they entered into the stronghold of the temple of El-berith.
Judges 9:47	And it was told to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Judges 9:48	And Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who [were] with him, and Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a bough from the trees, and lifted it and set it on his shoulder, and he said to the people who were with him, “What you⁺ have seen me do, hurry [and] do as I.”
Judges 9:49	And all the people, indeed each man, cut down his bough, and they went after Abimelech, and they put [them] against the stronghold, and they burned above them the stronghold with the fire, and died also all the people of the tower of Shechem—about a thousand men and women.
Judges 9:50	And Abimelech went to Thebez, and he encamped against Thebez and took it.
Judges 9:51	And there was a strong tower in the midst of the city, and there fled all the men and the women, and all the masters of the city, and shut themselves in. And they went up to the top of the tower.
Judges 9:52	And Abimelech came as far as the tower and fought against it, and he drew near the door of the tower to burn it with the fire.
Judges 9:53	And one woman dropped an upper millstone on the head of Abimelech, and it crushed his skull.
Judges 9:54	And he called quickly to the young man bearing his armor and said to him, “Draw your sword and kill me, lest they say of me, ‘A woman killed him.’” And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Judges 9:55	And the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, and every man departed to his place.
Judges 9:56	And God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father by killing his seventy brothers.
Judges 9:57	And all the evil of the men of Shechem God returned on their own heads, and came upon them the curse of Jotham son of Jerubbaal.
Judges 10:1	And there arose after Abimelech to save Israel Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar. And he dwelt in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
Judges 10:2	And He judged Israel twenty-three years, and he died, and he was buried in Shamir.
Judges 10:3	And arose after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.

Judges 10:5	And Jair died, and he was buried in Kamon.
Judges 10:6	And the sons of Israel added to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they served the Baals, and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and they forsook YHWH and did not serve Him.
Judges 10:7	And the anger of YHWH was hot against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.
Judges 10:8	And they harassed and oppressed the sons of Israel—from that year, eighteen years, all the sons of Israel who [were] on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, that [is], in Gilead.
Judges 10:9	And the sons of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim. And Israel was greatly distressed.
Judges 10:10	And the sons of Israel cried out to YHWH, saying, “We have sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals.”
Judges 10:11	And YHWH said to the sons of Israel, “Did not [I save you] from Egypt, and from the Amorite, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Judges 10:12	And the Sidonians and Amalekite and Maonites oppressed you⁺, and you⁺ cried out to Me, and I delivered you⁺ from their hands.
Judges 10:13	And you⁺ have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will not add to deliver you⁺.
Judges 10:14	Go and cry out to the gods that you⁺ have chosen; let them deliver you⁺ in the time of your⁺ distress.”
Judges 10:15	And the sons of Israel said to YHWH, “We have sinned. You do to us according to all that is good in Your eyes. Only deliver us, please, this day.”

Judges 11:2	And the wife of Gilead bore to him sons, and the sons of his wife grew up, and they drove out Jephthah and said to him, “You shall not have an inheritance in the house of our father; for you [are] the son of another woman.”

Judges 11:7	And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “Did not you⁺ hate me and expel me from the house of my father? Why have you⁺ come to me now when there is distress to you⁺?”
Judges 11:8	And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “Therefore now we have turned again to you, that you may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our leader over all those dwelling in Gilead.”
Judges 11:9	And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, “If you⁺ take me back to fight against the sons of Ammon, and YHWH delivers them to me, will I be to you⁺ leader?”
Judges 11:10	And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “YHWH will be a witness between us if according to your words we do not so.”
Judges 11:11	And Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head over them and commander. And Jephthah spoke all his words before the face of YHWH in Mizpah.
Judges 11:12	And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, “And what do you have against me that you have come against me to fight in my land?”
Judges 11:13	And the king of the sons of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon and as far as the Jabbok and as far as the Jordan. And now, return them in peace.”
Judges 11:14	And Jephthah added again and sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon
Judges 11:15	and said to him, “Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the sons of Ammon.
Judges 11:16	For in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Judges 11:17	and Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Let me pass, please, through your land,’ and the king of Edom did not listen. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab, and he was not willing. And Israel remained in Kadesh.
Judges 11:18	And he went along through the wilderness and bypassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and he came to the east side of the land of Moab and encamped on the other side of the Arnon. They did not enter into the border of Moab, for the Arnon [was] the border of Moab.
Judges 11:19	And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon. And Israel said to him, ‘Let us pass, please, through your land into our place.’
Judges 11:20	And Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. And Sihon gathered together all his people and encamped in Jahaz, and he fought against Israel.
Judges 11:21	And YHWH, God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. And Israel gained possession of all the land of the Amorite inhabiting that land.
Judges 11:22	And they took possession of all the territory of the Amorite, from the Arnon and to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness and to the Jordan.
Judges 11:23	And YHWH, God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorite from before His people Israel; and should you possess it?
Judges 11:24	Whatever Chemosh your god would give you to possess, is [it] not [that] you will possess it? And all that YHWH our God takes possession of before us, we will possess.
Judges 11:25	And now are [you so] good, better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he at all fight against them?
Judges 11:26	In the dwelling of Israel in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that [are] along the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years—why did you⁺ not snatch [them] up within that time?
Judges 11:27	And I have not sinned against you, and you are doing to me evil by fighting against me. May YHWH, the Judge, render judgment this day between the sons of Israel and between the sons of Ammon.”
Judges 11:28	And the king of the sons of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah, that he sent to him.
Judges 11:29	And the Spirit of YHWH came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed through to the sons of Ammon.
Judges 11:30	And Jephthah made a vow to YHWH, and said, “If You fully deliver the sons of Ammon into my hands,
Judges 11:31	Then it shall come to pass [that] whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it will be unto YHWH, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering.”
Judges 11:32	And Jephthah passed over toward the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and YHWH delivered them into his hand.
Judges 11:33	And he defeated them from Aroer and as far as the entrance to Minnith, twenty cities, and to Abel-keramim. And with a very great slaughter the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.
Judges 11:34	And Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, and there was his daughter coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing. And she [was] [his] only child; none [were] unto him besides her, son or daughter.
Judges 11:35	And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes and said, “Alas, my daughter! You have caused me greatly to bow, and you are among those who trouble me. For I have given my word to YHWH, and I cannot turn back.”
Judges 11:36	And she said to him, “My father, [if] you have given your word to YHWH, do to me according to what has gone out of your mouth, after that YHWH has done for you vengeance on your enemies, the sons of Ammon.”
Judges 11:37	And she said to her father, “Let this thing be done for me. Leave me alone [for] two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains and mourn for my virginity, I and my friends.”
Judges 11:38	And he said, “Go.” And he sent her away [for] two months. And she went, and her friends, and wept for her virginity on the mountains.
Judges 11:39	And it was at the end of two months that she returned to her father, and he carried out with her his vow that he had vowed. And she knew not a man. And it became a custom in Israel
Judges 11:40	[that] from time to time the daughters of Israel went to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in the year.
Judges 12:1	And the men of Ephraim gathered together and passed over toward Zaphon, and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the sons of Ammon and did not call us to go with you? Your house we will burn down over you with the fire.”
Judges 12:2	And Jephthah said to them, “I have been a man of exceedingly great struggle—I and My people—with the sons of Ammon. And I called you⁺ and you⁺ did not deliver me out of their hands.
Judges 12:3	And I saw that you would not deliver [me], and I took my life in my hands, and passed over against the sons of Ammon. And YHWH delivered them into my hand. Why have you⁺ come up to me this day to fight against me?”
Judges 12:4	And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, “You⁺ Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, in the midst of Manasseh.”
Judges 12:5	And Gilead seized the fords of the Jordan to Ephraim, and when a fugitive from Ephraim said, “Let me pass over,” the men of Gilead would say to him, “[Are] you an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “No,”
Judges 12:6	they would say to him, “Say, please, Shibboleth.” And he would say, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce [it] correctly. And they would take him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.
Judges 12:7	And Jephthah judged Israel six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried among the cities of Gilead.
Judges 12:8	And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Judges 12:9	And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he gave in marriage to outsiders, and thirty daughters he brought in for his sons from outside. And He judged Israel seven years.
Judges 12:10	And Ibzan died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
Judges 12:11	And after him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel. And He judged Israel ten years.
Judges 12:12	And Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
Judges 12:13	And after him Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel,
Judges 12:14	and there were unto him forty sons and thirty sons of sons, who rode on seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
Judges 12:15	And Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and he was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekite.
Judges 13:1	And the sons of Israel again did evil in the eyes of YHWH. And YHWH delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Judges 13:2	And there was a certain man from Zorah of the family of the Danite, and his name [was] Manoah. And his wife [was] barren and she had not given birth.
Judges 13:3	And the angel of YHWH appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold please, you are barren, and you have not borne children. You shall conceive and bear a son.
Judges 13:4	And now be careful, please, and do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean.
Judges 13:5	For behold, you will conceive and bear a son. And a razor shall not come upon his head, for a Nazirite to God shall be the child from the womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.”
Judges 13:6	And the woman came and spoke to her husband, saying, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, exceedingly awesome. I did not ask Him where He [was] from, and his name he did not tell to me.
Judges 13:7	And he said to me, ‘Behold, you will conceive and bear a son, and now, do not drink wine or strong drink, and do not eat anything unclean, for a Nazirite to God shall be the child from the womb until the day of his death.’”
Judges 13:8	And Manoah prayed to YHWH and said, “O my Lord, the man of God whom You sent, please let him come again to us and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.”
Judges 13:9	And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman, and she was sitting in the field, and Manoah her husband [was] not with her.
Judges 13:10	And the woman hurried and ran and declared to her husband and said to him, “Behold, the man has appeared to me who came to me the [other] day.”
Judges 13:11	And Manoah arose and followed after his wife, and he came to the man, and he said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to the woman?” And He said, “I [am].”
Judges 13:12	And Manoah said, “Now let your words come, what will be the custom of the boy and his work?”
Judges 13:13	And the angel of YHWH said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman, let her take heed.
Judges 13:14	Of anything that comes from the wine vine she may not eat, and wine or strong drink she may not drink, and anything unclean she may not eat. All that I have commanded her she shall keep.”
Judges 13:15	And Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, “Let us detain, please, you, and we will prepare for you a kid of the goats.”
Judges 13:16	And the angel of YHWH said to Manoah, “Even if you detain me, I will not eat of your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, to YHWH you shall offer it.” For Manoah did not know that he [was] the angel of YHWH.
Judges 13:17	And Manoah said to the angel of YHWH, “What [is] your name, that when your word comes, we may honor you?”
Judges 13:18	And the angel of YHWH said to him, “Why [is] this—you do ask My name, and it is incomprehensible?”
Judges 13:19	And Manoah took the kid of the goats, and a grain offering, and he offered it upon the rock to YHWH, and doing wonderously in doing [it]; and Manoah and his wife [were] watching.
Judges 13:20	And it came to pass, in the going up of the flame from the altar toward the heavens, that the angel of YHWH ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife saw [it], and they fell on their faces to the ground.
Judges 13:21	And the angel of YHWH added not again to appear to Manoah and his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] the angel of YHWH.
Judges 13:22	And Manoah said to his wife, “We will surely die, because we have seen God.”
Judges 13:23	And his wife said to him, “If YHWH had delighted to kill us, He would not have accepted from our hands a burnt offering and a grain offering, and He would not have shown us all these [things], nor at this time would He have told us as this.”
Judges 13:24	And the woman bore a son, and she called his name Samson. And the child grew, and YHWH blessed him.
Judges 13:25	And the Spirit of YHWH began to move upon him at Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and between Eshtaol.
Judges 14:1	And Samson went down to Timnah and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.
Judges 14:2	And he went up and declared to his father and mother and said, “I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines. And now, get her for me as a wife.”
Judges 14:3	And his father and mother said to him, “Is there not among the daughters of your brothers, or among all my people, a woman, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?” And Samson said to his father, “Get her for me, for she is right in my eyes.”
Judges 14:4	(And his father and mother did not know that it [was] of YHWH, that He was seeking an occasion to move against the Philistines. And for that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.)
Judges 14:5	And Samson and his father and mother went down to Timnah, and they came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion of lions came roaring against him.
Judges 14:6	And the Spirit of YHWH came mightily upon him, and he tore it as the tearing of a young goat, and not anything [was] in his hand. He did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.
Judges 14:7	And he went down and talked with the woman, and she was right in the eyes of Samson.
Judges 14:8	And he returned after some time to get her, and he turned aside to see the carcass of the lion. And behold, a swarm of bees [was] in the carcass of the lion, and honey.
Judges 14:9	And He took some of it in his hands and went on, going and eating, and he came to his father and to his mother, and he gave [some] to them and they ate, and he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.
Judges 14:10	And his father went down to the woman, and Samson gave there a feast; for thus the young men would do.
Judges 14:11	And it came to pass in their seeing him, that they took thirty companions, and they were with him.
Judges 14:12	And Samson said to them, “Please let me pose a riddle to you⁺. If you⁺ surely declare it to me [in] the seven days of the feast, and have found [it] out, then I will give to you⁺ thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.
Judges 14:13	But if you⁺ are not able to explain it to me, then you⁺ shall give to me thirty linen garments and thirty changes of clothing.” And they said to him, “Pose your riddle, that we may hear it.”
Judges 14:14	And he said to them, “Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.” And they could not explain the riddle [in] three days.
Judges 14:15	And it came to pass on the fourth day that they said to the wife of Samson, “Entice your husband, that he may explain to us the riddle, or else we will burn you and the house of your father with the fire. Have you⁺ not called us [here] to dispossess us?”
Judges 14:16	And the wife of Samson wept on him and said, “You have only hated me, and you have not loved me. You have posed a riddle to the sons of my people, and to me you have not explained [it].” And he said to her, “Behold, to my father and to my mother I have not explained [it], and to you should I explain [it]?”
Judges 14:17	And she wept on him the seven days, while their feast lasted. And it came to pass on the seventh day that he told her, because she had pressed him so much, and she explained the riddle to the sons of her people.
Judges 14:18	And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, “What [is] sweeter than honey? And what [is] stronger than a lion?” And he said to them, “If you⁺ had not plowed with my heifer, You⁺ would not have solved my riddle.”
Judges 14:19	And the Spirit of YHWH came mightily upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men and took their apparel, and he gave the changes to those who had explained the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to the house of his father.
Judges 14:20	And the wife of Samson was unto his companion who had attended to him.
Judges 15:1	And it came to pass after some days, in the days of the wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid of the goats, and he said, “Let me go in to my wife in the inner chamber.” And her father would not permit him to go in.
Judges 15:2	And her father said, “I surely said that you surely hated her, and I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please take her to you, instead of her.”
Judges 15:3	And Samson said to them, “I shall be blameless this time regarding the Philistines, though I am doing them harm.”
Judges 15:4	And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and he took torches and turned them tail to tail, and he put one torch between the two tails in the middle.
Judges 15:5	And he kindled fire in the torches and sent [them] out into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up from the shocks and to the standing grain, and to the vineyards [and] olive groves.
Judges 15:6	And the Philistines said, “Who has done this?” And they answered, “Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion.” And the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with the fire.
Judges 15:7	And Samson said to them, “Since you⁺ would do a thing like this, yet surely I will take revenge on you⁺, and afterward I will cease.”
Judges 15:8	And he struck them hip and thigh with a great slaughter. And he went down and dwelt in the cleft of the rock of Etam.
Judges 15:9	And the Philistines went up and encamped in Judah, and they spread out in Lehi.
Judges 15:10	And the men of Judah said, “Why have you⁺ come up against us?” And they answered, “To bind Samson. We have come up to do to him as he has done to us.”
Judges 15:11	And three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines are ruling over us? And what [is] this you have done to us?” And he said to them, “As they did to me, so I have done to them.”
Judges 15:12	And they said to him, “We have come down to bind you, that we may deliver you into the hand of the Philistines.” And Samson said to them, “Swear to me that you⁺ will not kill me yourselves.”
Judges 15:13	And they spoke to him, saying, “No, but we will securely bind you and deliver you into their hands. And surely we will not put you to death.” And they bound him with two new ropes and brought him up from the rock.
Judges 15:14	He came to Lehi, and the Philistines came out shouting against him, and the Spirit of YHWH rushed mightily upon him, and the ropes that [were] on his arms became like flax that is burned with the fire, and his bonds broke loose from his hands.
Judges 15:15	And He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, and he stretched out his hand and took it, and killed with it a thousand men.
Judges 15:16	And Samson said, “With the jawbone of a donkey—a heap upon heaps—with the jawbone of a donkey I have struck down a thousand men.”
Judges 15:17	And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath-lehi.
Judges 15:18	And he became exceedingly thirsty, and he cried out to YHWH and said, “You have given by the hand of Your servant this great deliverance, and shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?”
Judges 15:19	And God split the hollow place that [is] in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank, and his spirit returned, and he revived. Upon thus he called its name En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.
Judges 15:20	And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Judges 16:1	And Samson went to Gaza and saw there a woman, a prostitute, and he went in to her.
Judges 16:2	To the Gazites it was said, “Samson has come here.” And they surrounded and lay in wait for him all the night at the gate of the city, and they were quiet all the night, saying, “At the light of the morning, then we will kill him.”
Judges 16:3	And Samson lay down until the middle of the night. And he arose in the middle of the night and took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, and the two gateposts, and he pulled them up along with the bar, and he put them on his shoulders, and he brought them up to the top of the hill that is at the face of Hebron.
Judges 16:4	And it came to pass after thus, that he loved a woman in the Valley of Sorek, and her name [was] Delilah.
Judges 16:5	And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him and find out in what [is] his great power, and by what we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him. And we will give to you, each man, a thousand and a hundred [shekels] of silver.”
Judges 16:6	And Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, please, in what [is] your great power, and with what may you be bound to afflict you.”
Judges 16:7	And Samson said to her, “If they bind me with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I shall become weak and I will be as any man.”
Judges 16:8	And the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Judges 16:9	And they were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, “The Philistines [are] upon you, Samson.” And he broke the bowstrings as a strand of yarn breaks at its touching the fire. And his power was not known.
Judges 16:10	And Delilah said to Samson, “Behold, you have mocked me and told to me lies. Now tell me, please, with what may you be bound.”
Judges 16:11	And he said to her, “If they securely bind me with new ropes that never were used in work, I shall become weak, and be like any man.”
Judges 16:12	Delilah therefore took new ropes and bound him with them, and she said to him, “The Philistines [are] upon you, Samson.” And they were lying in wait, staying in the room. And he broke them off his arms like a thread.
Judges 16:13	And Delilah said to Samson, “Until now you have mocked me and told to me lies. Tell me with what you may be bound.” And he said to her, “If you weave the seven locks of my head into the web of a loom [and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.].”
Judges 16:14	[And while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web]. And she wove [it] tightly Then she tightened [it] with a pin, and said to him, “The Philistines [are] upon you, Samson.” And he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin of the loom, and with it the web.
Judges 16:15	And she said to him, “How can you say, ‘I love you,’ and your heart [is] not with me? This [is] three times you have mocked me, and you have not told me in what [is] your great power.”
Judges 16:16	And it came to pass, when she had pressed him with her words all the days, and pleaded, and his soul was grieved to death,
Judges 16:17	that he told her all his heart and said to her, “A razor has not ever come upon my head. For I [am] a Nazirite to God from the womb of my mother. If I am shaven, my power will leave me, and I shall become weak and be as any man.”
Judges 16:18	And Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, and she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, “Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart.” And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the silver in their hands.
Judges 16:19	And she put him to sleep on her knees, and called for the man, and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. And she began to subdue him, and his power turned aside from him.
Judges 16:20	And she said, “The Philistines [are] upon you, Samson.” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as before at other times and shake myself free.” And he did not know that YHWH had turned aside from him.
Judges 16:21	And the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and they brought him down to Gaza, and they bound him with bronze shackles. And he was grinding in the house of the imprisoned.
Judges 16:22	And the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.
Judges 16:23	And the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said, “Our god has delivered into our hand Samson our enemy.”
Judges 16:24	And the people saw him, and they praised their god, for they said, “Our god has delivered our enemy into our hand, and he who destroyed our land, and the one who multiplied our dead.”
Judges 16:25	And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may perform for us.” And they called for Samson from the house of the imprisoned, and he performed for them. And they stationed him between the pillars.
Judges 16:26	And Samson said to the boy who held him by the hand, “Let me feel the pillars on which the temple is established, so that I can lean on them.”
Judges 16:27	And the temple was full of the men and the women, and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there. And on the roof about three thousand men and women were watching while Samson performed.
Judges 16:28	And Samson called to YHWH and said, “O Lord YHWH, remember me, please, and Strengthen me, please, just this once, O God, that I may take vengeance [with] one vengeful blow for my two eyes against the Philistines.”
Judges 16:29	And Samson took hold of the middle two pillars on which the temple was established, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and one on his left.
Judges 16:30	And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And he pushed with power, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people who [were] in it. And the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life.
Judges 16:31	And his brothers and all the house of his father came down, and they lifted him and brought [him] up and buried him between Zorah and between Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. And He had judged Israel twenty years.
Judges 17:1	And there was a man from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name [was] Micah.
Judges 17:2	And he said to his mother, “The thousand and a hundred [shekels] of silver that were taken from you, and on which you put a curse, and even saying it in my ears, here [is] the silver with me. I took it.” And his mother said, “Blessed [is] my son of YHWH!”
Judges 17:3	And he returned the thousand and a hundred [shekels] of silver to his mother, and his mother said, “I wholly dedicate the silver to YHWH from my hand for my son to make a carved image and a molten image. And now I will return it to you.”
Judges 17:4	And he returned the silver to his mother, and his mother took two hundred [shekels] of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a carved image and a molten image, and they were in the house of Micah.
Judges 17:5	And the man Micah had a shrine of gods, and he made an ephod and teraphim, and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he was to him for a priest.
Judges 17:6	In those days [there was] no king in Israel; each man did the right in his own eyes.
Judges 17:7	And there was a young man from Bethlehem [in] Judah, from the family of Judah, and he [was] a Levite, and he was staying there.
Judges 17:8	And the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem [in] Judah, to stay wherever he could find, and he came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he made his journey.
Judges 17:9	And Micah said to him, “From where have you come?” And he said to him, “I [am] a Levite from Bethlehem [in] Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I do find.”
Judges 17:10	And Micah said to him, “Dwell with me, and be to me a father and a priest, and I will give to you ten [shekels] of silver for the days, and a suit of clothes, and your sustenance.” And the Levite went in.
Judges 17:11	And the Levite was willing to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.
Judges 17:12	And Micah filled the hand of the Levite, and the young man was to him for a priest, and he was in the house of Micah.
Judges 17:13	And Micah said, “Now I know that YHWH will be good to me, since a Levite has become a priest to me.”
Judges 18:1	In those days [there was] no king in Israel, and in those days the tribe of the Danite was seeking for itself an inheritance to dwell in, for it had not fallen to them until that day in the midst of the tribes of Israel by inheritance.
Judges 18:2	and the sons of Dan sent from their family five men from their territory, men of valor from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and search it. And they said to them, “Go, search the land.” And they went to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and they lodged there.
Judges 18:3	[While] they [were] with the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man, the Levite, and they turned aside there and said to him, “Who brought you here? And what [are] you doing in this [place]? And why are you here?”
Judges 18:4	And he said to them, “This and like this Micah has done for me. And he has hired me, and I have become unto him priest.”
Judges 18:5	And they said to him, “Inquire, please, of God, that we may know whether the journey will prosper on which we are going.”
Judges 18:6	And the priest said to them, “Go in peace. Before YHWH [is] your⁺ way in which you are going.”
Judges 18:7	And the five men departed and went to Laish, and they saw the people who [were] in its midst, dwelling securely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure, and nothing was lacking in the land in anything, possessing restraint, and they [were] far off from the Sidonians, and [were] no ties to them with man.
Judges 18:8	And they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, “What do you⁺ [say]?”
Judges 18:9	And they said, “Arise, and let us go up against them, for we have seen the land, and behold, [it is] very good. And you⁺ are keeping silent? Do not hesitate to go, to enter to possess the land.
Judges 18:10	When you⁺ enter, you⁺ will come to a people unsuspecting, and the land [is] large on both hands, for God has given it into your⁺ hands, a place that is not lacking of anything that [is] on the earth.”
Judges 18:11	And went from there of the family of the Danite from Zorah and Eshtaol six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Judges 18:12	And they went up and encamped at Kiriath-jearim in Judah. Upon thus they call that place Mahaneh-dan to this day. Behold, [it is] behind Kiriath-jearim.
Judges 18:13	And they passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.
Judges 18:14	And the five men who had gone to spy out the country of Laish answered and said to their brothers, “Do you⁺ know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a carved image, and a molten image? And now, consider what you⁺ should do.”
Judges 18:15	And they turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and they asked of his welfare.
Judges 18:16	And six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who [were] of the sons of Dan, stood at the entrance of the gate,
Judges 18:17	and the five men who had gone to spy out the land went up. Having entered there, they took the carved image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest stood at the entrance of the gate, and six hundred men girded with weapons of war.
Judges 18:18	And these entered the house of Micah and took the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. And the priest said to them, “What are you⁺ doing?”
Judges 18:19	And they said to him, “Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is [it] better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or for you to be a priest to a tribe and to a family in Israel?”
Judges 18:20	And the heart of the priest was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the carved image, and took his place among the people.
Judges 18:21	And they turned and departed, and they put the little ones and the livestock and the goods before their faces.
Judges 18:22	They were far off from the house of Micah, and the men who [were] in the houses that [were] near the house of Micah gathered together, and they overtook the sons of Dan.
Judges 18:23	And they called out to the sons of Dan, and they turned around and said to Micah, “What ails you that you have gathered such a company?”
Judges 18:24	And he said, “My gods that I made you⁺ have taken, and the priest, and you⁺ have gone away. And what more [is] unto me? And what [is] this you⁺ say to me: ‘What ails you?’”
Judges 18:25	And the sons of Dan said to him, “Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest men angry in soul fall upon you⁺, and you lose your life and the lives of your house.”
Judges 18:26	And the sons of Dan went their way. And Micah saw that they [were] stronger than he, and he turned and went back to his house.
Judges 18:27	And they took that which Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and they came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and they struck them with the mouth of the sword, and they burned the city with the fire.
Judges 18:28	And [there was] no rescuer, because it [was] far from Sidon, and they had no ties with anyone. And it [was] in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. And they rebuilt the city and dwelt there.
Judges 18:29	And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born to Israel. But Laish [was] the name of the city formerly.
Judges 18:30	And the sons of Dan set up for themselves the carved image. And Jonathan son of Gershom son of Moses—he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danite until the day of the captivity of the land.
Judges 18:31	And they set up for themselves the carved image from Micah, which he had made, all the days of the house of God being in Shiloh.
Judges 19:1	And it came to pass in those days, when [there was] no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the sides of the hill country of Ephraim, and He took for himself a woman, a concubine from Bethlehem [in] Judah.
Judges 19:2	And his concubine committed prostitution against him and went away from him to the house of her father at Bethlehem [in] Judah. And she was there days—four months.
Judges 19:3	And her husband arose and went after her to speak to her kindly [and] bring her back, and his young man [was] with him, and a couple of donkeys. And she brought him into the house of her father, and the father of the young woman saw him, and he was glad to meet him.
Judges 19:4	And his father-in-law prevailed upon him, the father of the young woman, and he stayed with him three days, and they ate and drank and lodged there.
Judges 19:5	And it came to pass on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he stood to depart. And the father of the young woman said to his son-in-law, “Refresh your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your⁺ way.”
Judges 19:6	And they sat down and ate, the two of them together, and they drank. And the father of the young woman said to the man, “Be content, please, and lodge, and let your heart be merry.”
Judges 19:7	And the man stood to depart, and his father-in-law urged him, and again he lodged there.
Judges 19:8	And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart. And the father of the young woman said, “Refresh, please, Your heart.” And they delayed until the stretching of the day, and the two of them ate.
Judges 19:9	And the man stood to depart, he and his concubine and his servant, and his father-in-law, the father of the young woman, said to him, “Behold, now the day is drawing toward evening. Spend the night, please. Behold, is coming to an end the day. Lodge here, that your heart may be merry, and go early tomorrow your⁺ way, so that you may get home.”
Judges 19:10	The man was not willing to spend that night. And he rose and departed, and came to opposite Jebus (that [is], Jerusalem), and with him were the two donkeys saddled, and his concubine [was] with him.
Judges 19:11	They [were] near Jebus, and the day had gone down greatly. And the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusite, and lodge in it.”
Judges 19:12	And his master said to him, “We will not turn aside into a city of foreigners who are not of the sons of Israel; and we will go on to Gibeah.”
Judges 19:13	And he said to his servant, “Come, and let us draw near to one of these places, and we shall lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.”
Judges 19:14	And they passed by and went their way. And the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
Judges 19:15	And they turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And he went in and he sat down in the open square of the city, for no one would take them into the house to spend the night.
Judges 19:16	And behold, an old man came in from his work in the field at the evening. And the man [was] from the mountains of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, and the men of the place [were] Benjamites.
Judges 19:17	And he raised his eyes, and he saw the traveler in the open square of the city, and the old man said, “Where are you going, and from where do you come?”
Judges 19:18	And he said to him, “We [are] passing from Bethlehem [in] Judah toward the far reaches of the hill country of Ephraim. I [am] from there, and I went to Bethlehem [in] Judah. I am going to the house of YHWH, and there [is] no man who will take me into his house.
Judges 19:19	And straw and fodder there is for our donkeys, and bread and wine there is for myself, and for your maidservant, and for the young man with your servant. There is no lack of anything.”
Judges 19:20	And the old man said, “Peace [be] with you. Only all your needs [is] on me, only do not spend the night in the open square.”
Judges 19:21	And he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys, and they washed their feet and ate and drank.
Judges 19:22	They were enjoying themselves, and suddenly men of the city, certain perverted men, surrounded the house [and] beat on the door, and they spoke to the old man, the master of the house, saying, “Bring out the man who came to your house, that we may know him.”
Judges 19:23	And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, “No, my brothers, do not act wickedly, please, not after that this man has come in my house. Do not commit this outrage.
Judges 19:24	Behold, my daughter the virgin and his concubine, let me bring them out now, and you⁺ may humble them and do with them [what is] good in your⁺ eyes; and to this man do not this vile thing.”
Judges 19:25	And the men would not listen to him. And the man took his concubine and brought [her] out to them outside. And they knew her and abused her all the night until the morning, and sent her away at the rising of the dawn.
Judges 19:26	And the woman came as was dawning the day, and she fell down at the door of the house of the man where her master [was], until the light.
Judges 19:27	And her master arose in the morning and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, and there was the woman, his concubine, fallen [at] the door of the house, and her hands [were] on the threshold.
Judges 19:28	And he said to her, “Get up, and let us be going.” And there was no answer. And the man lifted her onto the donkey, and the man got up and went to his place.
Judges 19:29	And he entered into his house, and he took a knife and laid hold of his concubine, and divided her limb by limb into twelve pieces, and he sent her into all the territory of Israel.
Judges 19:30	And so it was that all who saw it said, “Nothing has been done nor seen as this from the day that came up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt until this day. Set you⁺ upon it, take counsel, and speak.”
Judges 20:1	And all the sons of Israel came out, and the congregation gathered together as one man from Dan and to Beersheba, and from the land of Gilead, before YHWH at Mizpah.
Judges 20:2	And the leaders of all the people, all the tribes of Israel, stationed themselves in the assembly of the people of God: Four hundred thousand soldiers, foot soldiers who drew the sword.
Judges 20:3	And the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah, and the sons of Israel said, “Tell [us], how did this wicked thing happen?”
Judges 20:4	And the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, “Into Gibeah, which [is] to Benjamin, I and my concubine came to lodge.
Judges 20:5	And arose against me the masters of Gibeah, and they surrounded the house against me at night. They intended to kill me, and instead my concubine they ravished, so that she died.
Judges 20:6	And I took hold of my concubine and cut her in pieces and sent her throughout all the territory of the inheritance of Israel, because they had committed lewdness and outrage in Israel.
Judges 20:7	Behold, all you⁺ sons of Israel, give for you⁺ a word and counsel here.”
Judges 20:8	And all the people arose as one man, saying, “Not a man will go to his tent, nor will a man turn back to his house.
Judges 20:9	And this [is] the thing that we will do to Gibeah, against it by lot.
Judges 20:10	And we will take ten men of a hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred of a thousand, and a thousand of a myriad, to make provisions for the people, that they may repay when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, according to all the vileness that they have done in Israel.”
Judges 20:11	And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city as one man united.
Judges 20:12	And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribes of Benjamin, saying, “What [is] this wickedness that has occurred among you⁺?
Judges 20:13	And now deliver up the men, the sons of worthlessness, who [are] in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel.” And the Benjamite were not willing to listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.
Judges 20:14	And the sons of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah to go out to battle against the sons of Israel.
Judges 20:15	And the sons of Benjamin numbered at that time from their cities twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, besides those dwelling in Gibeah, who numbered seven hundred select men.
Judges 20:16	Among all this people [were] seven hundred select men, restricted of right hand, each of these slinging with a stone at a hair and not missing.
Judges 20:17	And the men of Israel mobilized themselves, apart from Benjamin, four hundred thousand men who drew the sword, each of these a man of war.
Judges 20:18	And they arose and went up to Bethel and inquired of God, and the sons of Israel said, “Who shall go up of us first into battle against the sons of Benjamin?” And YHWH said, “Judah first.”
Judges 20:19	And the sons of Israel rose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.
Judges 20:20	And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel arrayed themselves to fight at Gibeah.
Judges 20:21	And the sons of Benjamin came out from Gibeah and they destroyed in Israel on that day two and twenty thousand men to the ground.
Judges 20:22	And the people, the men of Israel, strengthened themselves and added to array the battle line at the place where they had arrayed on the first day.
Judges 20:23	And the sons of Israel went up and wept before the face of YHWH until the evening, and they inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I add to draw near for the battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother?” And YHWH said, “Go up against him.”
Judges 20:24	And the sons of Israel approached to the sons of Benjamin on the second day.
Judges 20:25	And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah on the second day, and they cut down from the sons of Israel another eighteen thousand men to the ground, all these drawing the sword.
Judges 20:26	And all the sons of Israel went up, and all the people, and they came to Bethel and wept. And they sat there before the face of YHWH and fasted that day until the evening, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the face of YHWH.
Judges 20:27	And the sons of Israel inquired of YHWH, and [was] there the ark of the covenant of God in those days.
Judges 20:28	And Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron stood before it in those days, saying, “Shall I add again to go out into battle against the sons of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease?” And YHWH said, “Go up, for tomorrow I will give them into your hand.”
Judges 20:29	And Israel set those lying in wait to Gibeah all around.
Judges 20:30	And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day, and they arrayed against Gibeah as time upon time.
Judges 20:31	And the sons of Benjamin went out against the people, [and] they were drawn away from the city. And they began to strike down some of the people [and] kill some, as time upon time, in the highways, of which one goes up to Bethel and one to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Judges 20:32	And the sons of Benjamin said, “They are struck down before us as at first.” And the sons of Israel said, “Let us flee and draw them away from the city to the highways.”
Judges 20:33	And all the men of Israel rose from their place, and arrayed at Baal-tamar, and those lying in wait of Israel burst forth from their place on the west of Gibeah.
Judges 20:34	And came over against Gibeah ten thousand select men from all Israel, and the battle was fierce. And they did not know that evil [was] upon them.
Judges 20:35	And YHWH defeated Benjamin before the face of Israel, and the sons of Israel destroyed in Benjamin that day twenty-five thousand and a hundred men, all these drawing the sword.
Judges 20:36	And the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. And the men of Israel had given ground to Benjamin, because they trusted in those lying in wait whom they had set against Gibeah.
Judges 20:37	And those lying in wait quickly rushed upon Gibeah, and those lying in wait spread out and struck all the city with the mouth of the sword.
Judges 20:38	And there was a signal between the men of Israel and between those lying in wait, that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,
Judges 20:39	and the men of Israel would turn in the battle. And Benjamin had begun to strike [and] kill of the men of Israel—about thirty men—for they said, “Surely he is utterly struck before us, as [in] the first battle.”
Judges 20:40	And the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, and Benjamin looked behind them, and there was going up all the city to the heavens.
Judges 20:41	And the men of Israel turned back, and the men of Benjamin were alarmed, for they saw that disaster had come upon them.
Judges 20:42	And they turned before the faces of the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness, and the battle overtook him, and whoever [came] out of the cities they destroyed him in the midst of him.
Judges 20:43	They surrounded Benjamin, chased them, [and] easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the rising of the sun.
Judges 20:44	And fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men, all of these men of valor.
Judges 20:45	And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they gleaned on the highways five thousand men, and they pursued them relentlessly up to Gidom, and they struck two thousand of their men.
Judges 20:46	And all who fell of Benjamin on that day were twenty-five thousand men who drew the sword, all of these men of valor.
Judges 20:47	And turned and fled into the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon six hundred men, and they stayed at the rock of Rimmon four months.
Judges 20:48	And the men of Israel turned back against the sons of Benjamin, and they struck them with the mouth of the sword from [every] city—men even to beasts—even to all they found; also to all the cities that are found they set fire.
Judges 21:1	And the men of Israel had sworn an oath at Mizpah, saying, “Not a man of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.”
Judges 21:2	And the people came to Bethel and remained there until the evening before the face of God, and they lifted up their voices and wept, bitterly weeping,
Judges 21:3	and they said, “Why, O YHWH, God of Israel, has this come to pass in Israel, to be lacking today in Israel one tribe?”
Judges 21:4	And it came to pass on the next morning that the people rose early and built there an altar, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Judges 21:5	And the sons of Israel said, “Who [is] he that did not come up with the assembly among all the tribes of Israel to YHWH?” For a great oath had been concerning not coming up to YHWH at Mizpah, saying, “He must surely be put to death.”
Judges 21:6	And the sons of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and they said, “Today is cut off one tribe from Israel.
Judges 21:7	What shall we do for those who remain for wives, since we have sworn by YHWH that we will not give to them our daughters as wives?”
Judges 21:8	And they said, “Who [is] one from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to YHWH to Mizpah?” And behold, no man had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.
Judges 21:9	And the people were numbered, and behold, there was not a man of those dwelling in Jabesh-gilead.
Judges 21:10	And the congregation sent out there twelve thousand of their most valiant men, and they commanded them, saying, “Go and strike the dwellers in Jabesh-gilead with the mouth of the sword, and the women and the children.
Judges 21:11	And this [is] the thing that you⁺ shall do: Every male and every woman knowing the lying of a male you⁺ shall devote to destruction.”
Judges 21:12	And they found among those dwelling in Jabesh-gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man by the lying with a male, and they brought them in to the camp at Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan.
Judges 21:13	And all the congregation sent and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who [were] at the rock of Rimmon, and they proclaimed to them peace.
Judges 21:14	And Benjamin came back at that time, and they gave to them the women whom they had saved alive of the women from Jabesh-gilead, and they had found not for them enough.
Judges 21:15	And the people grieved for Benjamin, because YHWH had made a void in the tribes of Israel.
Judges 21:16	And the elders of the congregation said, “What shall we do for those who remain for wives, since the women have been destroyed out of Benjamin?”
Judges 21:17	And they said, “An inheritance for the survivors of Benjamin, that a tribe will not be blotted out from Israel.
Judges 21:18	And we are not able to give to them wives from our daughters.” For the sons of Israel had sworn an oath, saying, “Cursed [be] the one who gives a wife to Benjamin.”
Judges 21:19	And they said, “Behold, [there is] a feast of YHWH in Shiloh from days to days, which [is] north of Bethel at the rising of the sun by the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and from the south of Lebonah.”
Judges 21:20	And they commanded the sons of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in wait in the vineyards.
Judges 21:21	And watch, and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to perform their dances, then you⁺ shall come out from the vineyards and you⁺ shall catch for yourselves, every man, a wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Judges 21:22	And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to plead to us, that we will say to them, ‘Be kind to them, since we did not take [to] each man a wife in the war, for you⁺—you⁺ not have given to them at this time—that you⁺ should be guilty.’”
Judges 21:23	And the sons of Benjamin did so, and they took enough wives for their number from those who danced, whom they caught. And they went and returned to their inheritance, and they rebuilt the cities and dwelt in them.
Judges 21:24	And the sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and every man went out from there to his inheritance.
Judges 21:25	In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did right in his own eyes.
Ruth 1:1	And it came to pass in the days of the judging of the judges, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man went from Bethlehem [in] Judah to dwell in the fields of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.
Ruth 1:2	And the name of the man [was] Elimelech, and the name of his wife [was] Naomi, and the names of his two sons [were] Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites from Bethlehem [in] Judah. And they went [out into] the fields of Moab and were there.
Ruth 1:3	And Elimelech the husband of Naomi died, and she was left, and her two sons.
Ruth 1:4	And they took for them wives of the Moabitesses: The name of the one [was] Orpah, and the name of the second [was] Ruth. And they dwelt there about ten years.
Ruth 1:5	And the two of them also died, Mahlon and Chilion. And the woman was left from her two sons and from her husband.
Ruth 1:6	And she rose, she and her daughters-in-law, and she returned from the fields of Moab, for she had heard in a field of Moab that YHWH had attended to His people, to give bread to them.
Ruth 1:7	And she went out from the place where she was there, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went in the way to return to the land of Judah.
Ruth 1:8	And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Go, turn back, each woman to the house of her mother. May YHWH do with you⁺ loving devotion, as you⁺ have done with the dead and with me.
Ruth 1:9	May YHWH give to you⁺, and may you find rest, each woman in the house of her husband.” And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voice, and they wept.
Ruth 1:10	And they said to her, “Surely we will return with you to your people.”
Ruth 1:11	And Naomi said, “Turn back, my daughters. Why would you⁺ go with me? [Are] there still unto me sons in my bowels, that they may be your⁺ husbands?
Ruth 1:12	Turn back, my daughters, go, for I am too old to have a husband. If I should say there is to me hope, and [if] I should have tonight a husband and also should bear sons,
Ruth 1:13	would you⁺ wait for them until that they were grown? Would you⁺ shut yourselves off from being [wife] to a man? No, my daughters, for [it is] exceedingly bitter for me from you⁺, for the hand of YHWH has gone out against me.”
Ruth 1:14	And they lifted up their voice and they wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, and Ruth clung to her.
Ruth 1:15	And she said, “Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.”
Ruth 1:16	And Ruth said, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back from following after you. For to wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you lodge, I will lodge. Your people [are] my people, and your God my God.
Ruth 1:17	Where you die, I will die, and there will I be buried. And may YHWH do to me, and ever so more, if death does part between you and between me.”
Ruth 1:18	And she saw that she was determined to go with her, and she stopped speaking to her.
Ruth 1:19	And the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, as they came to Bethlehem, that all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, “Is this Naomi?”
Ruth 1:20	And she said to them, “Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for Shaddai has dealt exceedingly bitterly with me.
Ruth 1:21	I went out full, and YHWH has brought me back empty. Why do you⁺ call me Naomi, since YHWH has testified against me, and Shaddai has afflicted me?”
Ruth 1:22	And Naomi turned back, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who turned back from the fields of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
Ruth 2:1	And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a man of great wealth, from the family of Elimelech. And His name [was] Boaz.
Ruth 2:2	And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, “Let me go, please, to the field, and glean among the ears of grain after one in whose eyes I may find favor.” And she said to her, “Go, my daughter.”
Ruth 2:3	And she went, and she came, and she gleaned in the field after the reapers. And she happened to come to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who [was] from the family of Elimelech.
Ruth 2:4	And behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, “YHWH [be] with you⁺!” And they answered him, “YHWH blesses you.”
Ruth 2:5	And Boaz said to his young man who was set over the reapers, “To whom [is] this young woman?”
Ruth 2:6	And the servant who was set over the reapers answered and said, “A young woman, a Moabitess, she [is], the one returning with Naomi from a field of Moab.
Ruth 2:7	And she said, ‘Let me glean, please, and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.’ And she came and remained from the morning and until now, though she rested in the house a little.”
Ruth 2:8	And Boaz said to Ruth, “Will you not listen, my daughter? Do not go to glean in another field, and also do not go from this [place], and thus you shall cling together with my young women.
Ruth 2:9	Let your eyes [be] in the field that they are reaping, and go after them. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? When you are thirsty, you shall go to the vessels, and you shall drink from what the young men draw.”
Ruth 2:10	And she fell on her face and she bowed herself to the earth and said to him, “Why have I found favor in your eyes, that you should take notice of me though I [am] a foreigner?”
Ruth 2:11	And Boaz answered and said to her, “It has surely been declared to me all that you have done with your mother-in-law after the death of your husband, and [how] you have left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and have come to a people whom you did not know yesterday and the day before yesterday.
Ruth 2:12	May YHWH repay your work, and may you receive your full wages from YHWH, God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
Ruth 2:13	And she said, “Let me find favor in your eyes, my lord. For you have comforted me and have spoken to the heart of your maidservant, and I am not like one of your maidservants.”
Ruth 2:14	And Boaz said to her at the time of food, “Come here and eat from the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.” And she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied, and she had some left over.
Ruth 2:15	And she rose up to glean, and Boaz commanded his young men, saying, “Even among the sheaves let her glean, and do not shame her.
Ruth 2:16	And also you⁺ shall surely draw out for her from the bundles and you⁺ shall leave [them], and shall let her glean. And you⁺ shall not rebuke her.”
Ruth 2:17	And she gleaned in the field until the evening. And she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley.
Ruth 2:18	And she took [it] up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out and gave to her what she had left over from being satisfied.
Ruth 2:19	And her mother-in-law said to her, “Where have you gleaned today, and where did you work? May the one who took notice of you be blessed.” And she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, “The name of the man with whom I worked today [is] Boaz.”
Ruth 2:20	And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Blessed [be] he by YHWH, who has not forsaken His kindness with the living and with the dead.” And Naomi said to her, “The man [is] a relation of ours. He [is] one of our kinsman-redeemers.”
Ruth 2:21	And Ruth the Moabitess said, “Also surely he said to me, ‘With the young men who [are] to me you shall cling, until that they have finished all the harvest that [is] unto me.’”
Ruth 2:22	And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, “[It is] good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and they will not fall upon you in another field.”
Ruth 2:23	And she clung with the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. And she dwelt with her mother-in-law.
Ruth 3:1	And Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, shall I not seek for you a resting place, that it may be well with you?
Ruth 3:2	And is not Boaz our relative, whose young women you were with? Behold, he is winnowing on the threshing floor of barley tonight.
Ruth 3:3	And you shall wash, and you shall anoint yourself, and you shall put your garments on you, and you shall go down to the threshing floor. Do not make yourself known to the man until he finishes eating and drinking.
Ruth 3:4	And it shall come to pass, when he lies down, that you shall know the place where he lies down, and you shall go in and you shall uncover his feet and lie down, and he—he will tell you what you shall do.”
Ruth 3:5	And she said to her, “All that you say to me, I will do.”
Ruth 3:6	And she went down to the threshing floor, and she did according to all that her mother-in-law had commanded her.
Ruth 3:7	And Boaz ate and drank, and his heart was good, and he went to lie down at the end of the heap. And she came in secrecy and uncovered his feet and lay down.
Ruth 3:8	And it came to pass in the middle of the night that the man trembled and turned himself, and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.
Ruth 3:9	And he said, “Who [are] you?” And she said, “I [am] Ruth your maidservant. And you shall spread your wing over your maidservant, for you [are] a kinsman-redeemer.”
Ruth 3:10	And he said, “Blessed [are] you to YHWH, my daughter. For you have shown more kindness at the end than at the beginning, in that you did not go after the young men, whether poor or rich.
Ruth 3:11	And now, my daughter, do not fear. All that you say, I will do for you, for all the gate of my people knows that you [are] a woman of virtue.
Ruth 3:12	And now it is true that I [am] a kinsman-redeemer, But also there is a kinsman-redeemer nearer than I.
Ruth 3:13	Lodge the night, and it shall be in the morning [that] if he does redeem you, good; let him redeem. And if he does not want to redeem you, then I will redeem you myself, [as] YHWH lives. Lie down until the morning.”
Ruth 3:14	And she lay at his feet until the morning, and she arose before a man could recognize his companion. And he said, “Do not let it be known that the woman came to the threshing floor.”
Ruth 3:15	And he said, “Give the cloak that [is] on you, and hold it.” And she held it, and he measured six [measures] of barley and laid [it] on her, and he went into the city.
Ruth 3:16	And she came to her mother-in-law, and she said, “Who [are] you, my daughter?” And she told her all that the man had done for her.
Ruth 3:17	And she said, “These six [measures] of barley he gave to me, for he said, ‘Do not go in empty-handed to your mother-in-law.’”
Ruth 3:18	And she said, “Sit, my daughter, until that you know how the matter will fall. For the man will not rest until that he finishes the matter today.”
Ruth 4:1	And Boaz went up to the gate, and he sat there, and behold, the kinsman-redeemer was passing by, of whom Boaz had spoken. And he said, “Turn aside, sit here such a one, such a one.” And he turned aside and sat.
Ruth 4:2	And he took ten men from the elders of the city and he said, “Sit here.” And they sat.
Ruth 4:3	And he said to the kinsman-redeemer, “The piece of the field that belongs to our brother, to Elimelech, Naomi, the woman returning from the fields of Moab, is selling,
Ruth 4:4	and I said, ‘I will uncover your ear,' saying, ‘Buy [it] before those sitting here and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem [it], redeem [it]. But if you will not redeem [it], tell me, that I may know; for [there is] none besides you to redeem [it], and I [am] after you." And he said, “I will redeem [it].”
Ruth 4:5	And Boaz said, “In the day of your buying the field from the hand of Naomi, and from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, you must buy [it] to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.”
Ruth 4:6	And the kinsman-redeemer said, “I am not able to redeem [it] for myself, lest I damage my own inheritance. Redeem [it] for yourself. You [have] my redemption, for I am not able to redeem [it].”
Ruth 4:7	And this [was] formerly in Israel concerning the redemption and concerning the exchange: To confirm every matter, a man would remove his sandal and give [it] to his companion, and this [was] the testimony in Israel.
Ruth 4:8	And the kinsman-redeemer said to Boaz, “Buy [it] for yourself.” And he removed his sandal.
Ruth 4:9	And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, “You⁺ [are] witnesses this day that I have bought all that belonged to Elimelech, and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon, from the hand of Naomi.
Ruth 4:10	And also Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired for myself for a wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, and the name of the dead will not be cut off from among his brothers and from the gate of his place; you⁺ [are] witnesses this day.”
Ruth 4:11	And all the people who [were] at the gate, and the elders, said, “Witnesses! May YHWH make the woman, the one coming to your house, like Rachel and like Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and you do virtuously in Ephrathah, and proclaim the name in Bethlehem.
Ruth 4:12	And may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, from the seed that YHWH gives to you from this young woman.”
Ruth 4:13	And Boaz took Ruth, and she became to him for a wife, and he went in to her, and YHWH gave to her conception, and she bore a son.
Ruth 4:14	And the women said to Naomi, “Blessed [be] YHWH, who has not let cease a kinsman-redeemer to you this day, and may his name be proclaimed in Israel.
Ruth 4:15	And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age. For your daughter-in-law who loves you—who is better to you than seven sons—has borne him.”
Ruth 4:16	And Naomi took the child and laid him in her bosom, and she became to him a nurse.
Ruth 4:17	And the neighbor women called for him a name, saying, “A son has been born to Naomi.” And they called his name Obed. He [is] the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Ruth 4:18	And these [are] the generations of Perez: Perez begat Hezron,
Ruth 4:19	and Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Ruth 4:20	and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Ruth 4:21	and Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Ruth 4:22	and Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
1 Samuel 1:1	And there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of the hill country of Ephraim. And his name [was] Elkanah, son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
1 Samuel 1:2	And to him [were] two wives: The name of the one [was] Hannah, and the name of the second Peninnah. And Peninnah had children, and Hannah had no children.
1 Samuel 1:3	And that man went up from his city from days to days to bow and sacrifice to YHWH of Hosts in Shiloh. And [were] there the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of YHWH.
1 Samuel 1:4	And whenever came the time for Elkanah to sacrifice, he would give to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters portions.
1 Samuel 1:5	And to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although YHWH had closed her womb.
1 Samuel 1:6	And her rival also provoked her severely to make her miserable, because YHWH had shut up her womb.
1 Samuel 1:7	And it was year by year, when she went up to the house of YHWH, that she provoked her. And she wept and did not eat.
1 Samuel 1:8	And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Hannah, why do you weep? And why do you not eat? And why is your heart grieved? Am I not better to you than ten sons?”
1 Samuel 1:9	And Hannah arose after they had finished eating in Shiloh, and after drinking, and Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of YHWH.
1 Samuel 1:10	And she [was] bitter of soul, and she prayed to YHWH and wept bitterly.
1 Samuel 1:11	And she made a vow and said, “O YHWH of Hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant, and remember me and not forget Your maidservant, and will give to your maidservant a male seed, I will give him to YHWH all the days of his life, and a razor shall not go up on his head.”
1 Samuel 1:12	And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the face of YHWH, that Eli watched her mouth.
1 Samuel 1:13	And Hannah, she spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, and her voice was not heard. And Eli thought [she was] drunk.
1 Samuel 1:14	And Eli said to her, “How long will you be drunk? Put away your wine from you.”
1 Samuel 1:15	And Hannah answered and said, “No, my lord, I [am] a woman oppressed in spirit; and I have not drunk any wine or strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the face of YHWH.
1 Samuel 1:16	Do not put your maidservant before the face of a daughter of worthlessness, for out of the abundance of my anguish and grief I have been speaking until now.”
1 Samuel 1:17	And Eli answered and said, “Go in peace, and may the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked of Him.”
1 Samuel 1:18	And she said, “Let your maidservant find favor in your eyes.” And the woman went her way, and ate, and her face was not [sad] for herself anymore.
1 Samuel 1:19	And they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the face of YHWH, and they returned and came to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and YHWH remembered her.
1 Samuel 1:20	And it came to pass, in the coming around of the days, that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, “For from YHWH I have asked for him.”
1 Samuel 1:21	And the man Elkanah went up, and all his house, to offer to YHWH the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
1 Samuel 1:22	And Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, “Until the child is weaned, then I will bring him, that he may appear before YHWH and remain there even to forever.”
1 Samuel 1:23	And Elkanah her husband said to her, “Do what is good in your eyes. Wait until you have weaned him. Only let YHWH establish His word.” And the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.
1 Samuel 1:24	And she took him up with her when she had weaned him, along with a three-year-old bull and one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and she brought him to the house of YHWH in Shiloh; and the boy [was] a young boy.
1 Samuel 1:25	And they slaughtered a bull and brought the boy to Eli.
1 Samuel 1:26	And she said, “Please, my lord, as your soul lives, my lord, I [am] the woman who stood by you in this [place] praying to YHWH.
1 Samuel 1:27	I prayed for this boy, and YHWH has granted to me my petition that I asked of Him.
1 Samuel 1:28	And also I have granted him to YHWH. As long as the days that he lives he shall be granted to YHWH.” And they bowed low there before YHWH.
1 Samuel 2:1	And Hannah prayed and said, “My heart rejoices in YHWH; My horn is exalted in YHWH. My mouth is wide over my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation.
1 Samuel 2:2	No one [is] holy like YHWH, for [there is] none besides You, and no rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:3	Do not multiply to speak so exceedingly proudly; the old saying goes out from your⁺ mouth, for YHWH [is] a God of knowledge and by Him actions are weighed.
1 Samuel 2:4	The bows of the mighty are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.
1 Samuel 2:5	The satisfied have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased. Even The barren woman has borne seven, and she who has many sons has languished.
1 Samuel 2:6	YHWH kills and keeps alive; He brings down to Sheol and He raises up.
1 Samuel 2:7	YHWH makes poor and makes rich; He brings low and He exalts.
1 Samuel 2:8	He raises the poor from the dust; from the ash heap He lifts the needy to set [them] among princes, and the throne of glory He bestows on them. For of YHWH [are] the pillars of the earth, and He has set upon them the world.
1 Samuel 2:9	The feet of His holy ones He will guard, and the wicked in the darkness shall be silent; for not by strength shall man prevail.
1 Samuel 2:10	YHWH—broken down are His adversaries; against them from the heavens He will thunder. YHWH will judge the ends of the earth, and He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed.”
1 Samuel 2:11	And Elkanah went to Ramath to his house, and the boy had been ministering to YHWH before Eli the priest.
1 Samuel 2:12	And the sons of Eli [were] sons of worthlessness; they did not know YHWH.
1 Samuel 2:13	And the custom of the priests with the people [was when] any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come at the boiling of the flesh, and [with] the fork of three teeth in his hand.
1 Samuel 2:14	And he would thrust [it] into the pan, or the kettle, or the cauldron, or the pot. All that the fork brought up, the priest would take for himself. Thus they did to all Israel who came there to Shiloh.
1 Samuel 2:15	Also before they burned the fat, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who sacrificed, “Give flesh for roasting to the priest; and he will not take from you boiled flesh, but only raw.”
1 Samuel 2:16	And the man said to him, “The fat must surely be burned first, and you may take to you as your soul desires,” and he would answer to him, “Surely now you must give [it], and if not, I will take [it] by force.”
1 Samuel 2:17	Therefore the sin of the young men was very great before YHWH, for they despised the offering of YHWH.
1 Samuel 2:18	And Samuel ministered before YHWH, a boy girded with an ephod of linen.
1 Samuel 2:19	And a small robe his mother would make for him and bring [it] to him year by year in her coming up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
1 Samuel 2:20	And Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, “May YHWH give to you seed from this woman for the petition that she asked of YHWH,” and they would go to their own home.
1 Samuel 2:21	And YHWH visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew up before YHWH.
1 Samuel 2:22	And Eli was very old, and he heard all that his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
1 Samuel 2:23	And he said to them, “Why do you⁺ do these things? For I hear of your⁺ evil deeds from all these people.
1 Samuel 2:24	No, my sons, for the report [is] not good that I hear spreading among the people of YHWH.
1 Samuel 2:25	If one man sins against another, God will judge him, but if a man sins against YHWH, who will intercede for him?” And they did not listen to the voice of their father, because YHWH delighted to put them to death.
1 Samuel 2:26	And the boy Samuel was going on and growing up in favor both with YHWH and with men.
1 Samuel 2:27	And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, “Thus says YHWH, ‘Did I clearly reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in the house of Pharaoh?
1 Samuel 2:28	And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel for a priest to Me, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to wear an ephod before Me? And did I give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?
1 Samuel 2:29	Why do you⁺ kick at My sacrifice and at My offering, which I have commanded [in My] dwelling place, and honor your sons more than Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?’
1 Samuel 2:30	Therefore the declaration of YHWH, God of Israel, ‘I surely said [that] your house and the house of your father would walk before Me even to forever. And the declaration of YHWH, Far be it from Me! For those honoring Me I will honor, and those despising Me shall be lightly esteemed.
1 Samuel 2:31	Behold, the days are coming, and I will cut off your arm and the arm of the house of your father, lest there be an old man in your house.
1 Samuel 2:32	And you will see an enemy [in My] dwelling place, in all that He does good with Israel, and there will not be an old man in your house all the days.
1 Samuel 2:33	And the man I do not cut off of you from My altar [I] will consume your eyes and grieve your heart, and all the seed of your house will die [by the sword] of men.
1 Samuel 2:34	And this to you [is] a sign that will come upon your two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: In one day the two of them will die.
1 Samuel 2:35	And I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest. And he will do according to what [is] in My heart and in My mind. And I will build him a steadfast house, and he will walk before the face of My anointed all the days.
1 Samuel 2:36	And it will come to pass that everyone remaining in your house will come to bow down to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and he will say: Put me, please, in one of the priestly positions, that I may eat a morsel of bread.’
1 Samuel 3:1	And the boy Samuel ministered to YHWH before the face of Eli. And the word of YHWH was rare in those days; [there was] no vision broken forth.
1 Samuel 3:2	And it came to pass at that time, while Eli [was] lying down in his place and his eyes had begun to be dim, that he could not see,
1 Samuel 3:3	and the lamp of God was not yet extinguished, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of YHWH where there [was] the ark of God,
1 Samuel 3:4	that YHWH called to Samuel. And he answered, “Behold.”
1 Samuel 3:5	And he ran to Eli and said, “Behold, for you have called me.” And he said, “I did not call. Turn back, lie down.” And he went and lay down.
1 Samuel 3:6	And YHWH added to call again, “Samuel!” And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, “Behold, for you called me.” And He answered, “I did not call, my son. Turn back, lie down.”
1 Samuel 3:7	And Samuel did not know YHWH, and the word of YHWH was not yet revealed to him.
1 Samuel 3:8	And YHWH again called Samuel the third time, and he arose and went to Eli and said, “Behold, for you called me.” And Eli perceived that YHWH had called the boy.
1 Samuel 3:9	And Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down, and it shall come to pass, if He calls to you, that you shall say, ‘Speak, YHWH, for Your servant is listening.’” And Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1 Samuel 3:10	And YHWH came and stationed Himself and called as at other times, “Samuel, Samuel.” And Samuel answered, “Speak, for Your servant is listening.”
1 Samuel 3:11	And YHWH said to Samuel, “Behold, I am doing a thing in Israel at which the two ears of everyone who hears it will tingle.
1 Samuel 3:12	In that day I will establish against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
1 Samuel 3:13	For I have told him that I will judge his house even to forever for the iniquity that he knows, because his sons blasphemed God, and he did not restrain them.
1 Samuel 3:14	And now I have sworn to the house of Eli, ‘The iniquity of the house of Eli shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or by offering even to forever.’”
1 Samuel 3:15	And Samuel lay down until the morning, and he opened the doors of the house of YHWH. And Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli.
1 Samuel 3:16	And Eli called Samuel, and said, “Samuel, my son.” And he answered, “Behold.”
1 Samuel 3:17	And he said, “What [is] the word that He has spoken to you? Please do not hide [it] from me. Thus may God do to you, and even more, if you hide from me anything of all the words that He has spoken to you.”
1 Samuel 3:18	And Samuel told to him all the words, and he hid nothing from him. And he said, “It [is] YHWH. Let Him do what is good in His eyes.”
1 Samuel 3:19	And Samuel grew, and YHWH was with him and did not let any of his words fall to the ground.
1 Samuel 3:20	And all Israel knew, from Dan and to Beersheba, that Samuel was established as a prophet of YHWH.
1 Samuel 3:21	And YHWH again appeared in Shiloh, for YHWH revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of YHWH.
1 Samuel 4:1	And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. And Israel went out to meet the Philistines in the battle, and they encamped beside Eben-ezer. And the Philistines encamped in Aphek.
1 Samuel 4:2	And the Philistines arrayed themselves against Israel, and the battle spread, and Israel was defeated by the Philistines, and they struck down among the ranks in the field about four thousand men.
1 Samuel 4:3	And the people had come into the camp, and the elders of Israel said, “Why has YHWH defeated us today before the face of the Philistines? Let us bring for ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of YHWH, that when it comes into our midst, it may save us from the hand of our enemies.”
1 Samuel 4:4	And the people sent to Shiloh, and they lifted from there the ark of the covenant of YHWH of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubim. And [were] there the two sons of Eli with the ark of the covenant of God—Hophni and Phinehas.
1 Samuel 4:5	And it came to pass at the coming in of the ark of the covenant of YHWH into the camp, that all Israel shouted a great shout, and the earth resounded.
1 Samuel 4:6	And the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, and they said, “What [is] the sound of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews?” And they understood that the ark of YHWH had come into the camp.
1 Samuel 4:7	And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, “The [gods] have come into the camp.” And they said, “Woe to us, for there has not been such as this before heretofore.
1 Samuel 4:8	Woe to us! Who will snatch us up from the hand of these mighty gods? These are the gods who struck Egypt with all the plagues in the wilderness.
1 Samuel 4:9	Be strong and be like men, O Philistines, that you⁺ do not become servants of the Hebrews as they have been to you⁺. Be like men and fight.”
1 Samuel 4:10	And the Philistines fought and Israel was defeated, and every man fled to his tent, and there was a very great slaughter, and there fell from Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.
1 Samuel 4:11	And the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli died—Hophni and Phinehas.
1 Samuel 4:12	And a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line, and he came to Shiloh that day—and his clothes were torn, and dirt was on his head.
1 Samuel 4:13	And he came, and behold, Eli was sitting on the seat by the side of the way watching, for his heart had been trembling for the ark of God. And the man came and told [it] in the city, and all the city cried out.
1 Samuel 4:14	And Eli heard the noise of the outcry, and he said, “What [is] the sound of this tumult?” And the man hurried and came in and declared to Eli.
1 Samuel 4:15	And Eli [was] a son of ninety-eight years, and his eyes stood, and he could not see.
1 Samuel 4:16	And the man said to Eli, “I [am] he who came from the battle, and I have fled from the battle line today.” And he said, “What has been the matter, my son?”
1 Samuel 4:17	And the messenger answered and said, “Israel has fled before the face of the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people, and your two sons are dead—Hophni and Phinehas—and the ark of God has been captured.”
1 Samuel 4:18	And it came to pass, at his mentioning of the ark of God, that he fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck was broken, and he died; for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
1 Samuel 4:19	And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was pregnant about to give birth, and she heard the news that the ark of God was captured and her father-in-law and her husband were dead; and she bowed herself and gave birth, for her labor pains came upon her.
1 Samuel 4:20	And at the time of her death, the women who stood by her said to her, “Fear not, for you have borne a son.” And she did not answer nor set her heart [to it].
1 Samuel 4:21	And she named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel,” because the ark of God had been captured, and because of her father-in-law and her husband.
1 Samuel 4:22	And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.”
1 Samuel 5:1	And the Philistines took the ark of God, and they brought it in from Eben-ezer to Ashdod.
1 Samuel 5:2	And the Philistines took the ark of God, and they brought it into the house of Dagon and set it beside Dagon.
1 Samuel 5:3	And the Ashdodites arose early in the morning, and there was Dagon, fallen on his face to the earth before the face of the ark of YHWH. And they took Dagon, and returned him to his place.
1 Samuel 5:4	And they arose in the morning on the next day, and behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the ground before the face of the ark of YHWH, and the head of Dagon and the two palms of its hands [were] broken off on the threshold. Only Dagon was left of it.
1 Samuel 5:5	Upon thus the priests of Dagon—and all those coming into the house of Dagon—do not tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.
1 Samuel 5:6	And the hand of YHWH was heavy on the Ashdodites, and He ravaged them and struck them with tumors, Ashdod and its borders.
1 Samuel 5:7	And the men of Ashdod saw that [it was] so, and they said, “The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is harsh against us and against Dagon our god.”
1 Samuel 5:8	And they sent and gathered all the lords of the Philistines to themselves and said, “What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?” And they answered, “Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried away to Gath.” And they carried away the ark of the God of Israel.
1 Samuel 5:9	And it came to pass, after they had carried it away, that the hand of YHWH was against the city with a very great destruction, and He struck the men of the city from small and to great, and tumors broke forth on them.
1 Samuel 5:10	And they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as came the ark of God to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, “They have brought to us the ark of the God of Israel to kill me and my people.”
1 Samuel 5:11	And they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines and said, “Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill me and my people.” For there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
1 Samuel 5:12	And the men who did not die were stricken with tumors, and the cry of the city went up to the heavens.
1 Samuel 6:1	And the ark of YHWH was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1 Samuel 6:2	And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, “What shall we do with the ark of YHWH? Tell us, by what should we send it to its place?”
1 Samuel 6:3	And they said, “If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty. But you⁺ shall by all means return [it] to Him [with] a guilt offering. Then you⁺ will be healed, and it will be known to you⁺ why His hand has not turned aside from you⁺.”
1 Samuel 6:4	And they said, “What [is] the guilt offering that we shall return to Him?” And they answered, “The number of the lords of the Philistines—five golden tumors and five golden rats—for one plague [is] on all of you and on your⁺ lords.
1 Samuel 6:5	And you⁺ shall make images of your⁺ tumors and images of your⁺ rats that are ravaging the land, and you⁺ shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps He will lighten His hand from upon you⁺ and from upon your⁺ gods and from upon your⁺ land.
1 Samuel 6:6	And why do you⁺ harden your⁺ hearts, as Egypt and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? Was [it] not [that] only when He [had] dealt severely with them that they sent them [off] so they could go on their way?
1 Samuel 6:7	And now, take and make one new cart, and two suckling cows on which a yoke has not gone up, and hitch the cows to the cart, and return their calves from them to the house.
1 Samuel 6:8	And take the ark of YHWH, and set it on the cart. And the articles of gold that you⁺ are returning to Him [as] a guilt offering, put in the chest by its side, and send it away that it may go.
1 Samuel 6:9	And watch: If it goes up the way of its own border toward Beth-shemesh, He has done to us this great disaster. But if not, then we will know that [it is] not His hand [that] struck us; it happened to us by chance.”
1 Samuel 6:10	And the men did so, and they took two suckling cows and bound them to the cart, and they shut up their calves in the house.
1 Samuel 6:11	And they set the ark of YHWH on the cart, and the chest, and the golden rats, and the images of their tumors.
1 Samuel 6:12	And the cows [went] in the way, on the way to Beth-shemesh, along one highway as they went, going and lowing, and they did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the lords of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth-shemesh.
1 Samuel 6:13	And Beth-shemesh were reaping their harvest of wheat in the valley, and they lifted their eyes and saw the ark, and they rejoiced to see [it].
1 Samuel 6:14	And the cart came into the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh, and it stood still there; and there [was] a large stone. And they split the wood of the cart, and they offered the cows as a burnt offering to YHWH.
1 Samuel 6:15	And the Levites took down the ark of YHWH, and the chest that was with it in which [were] the articles of gold, and they placed them on the large stone, and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and made sacrifices in that day to YHWH.
1 Samuel 6:16	And the five lords of the Philistines had seen [it], and they returned to Ekron that day.
1 Samuel 6:17	And these [are] the golden tumors that the Philistines returned [as] a guilt offering to YHWH; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Ashkelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
1 Samuel 6:18	and the golden rats—the number of all the cities of the Philistines for the five princes, from the fortified city and to the village of the countryside, even to Abel-haggedolah, which they placed in it the ark of YHWH—[are] to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth-shemesh.
1 Samuel 6:19	And He struck the men of Beth-shemesh, for they had looked into the ark of YHWH, and He struck seventy men of the people, and the people lamented because YHWH had struck the people with a great slaughter.
1 Samuel 6:20	And the men of Beth-shemesh said, “Who is able to stand before the face of YHWH, this holy God? And to whom shall it go up from us?”
1 Samuel 6:21	And they sent messengers to those dwelling in Kiriath-jearim, saying, “The Philistines have brought back the ark of YHWH; come down, take it up with you⁺.”
1 Samuel 7:1	And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of YHWH, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill. And they consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of YHWH.
1 Samuel 7:2	And it came to pass that the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim, and the days were multiplied—and it was there twenty years. And all the house of Israel lamented after YHWH.
1 Samuel 7:3	And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If with all your⁺ heart you⁺ are returning to YHWH, put away the foreign gods from your⁺ midst, and the Ashtoreths, and prepare your⁺ hearts for YHWH, and serve Him only. And He will snatch you⁺ up from the hand of the Philistines.”
1 Samuel 7:4	And the sons of Israel put away the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and they served YHWH only.
1 Samuel 7:5	And Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you⁺ to YHWH.”
1 Samuel 7:6	And they gathered together at Mizpah, and they drew water and poured [it] out before the face of YHWH. And they fasted that day and said there, “We have sinned against YHWH.” And Samuel judged the sons of Israel at Mizpah.
1 Samuel 7:7	And the Philistines heard that the sons of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, and the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And the sons of Israel heard, and they were afraid of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 7:8	And the sons of Israel said to Samuel, “Do not cease from crying out to YHWH our God, that He may save us from the hand of the Philistines.”
1 Samuel 7:9	And Samuel took one suckling lamb and offered it [as] a whole burnt offering to YHWH. And Samuel cried out to YHWH for Israel, and YHWH answered him.
1 Samuel 7:10	And Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, and the Philistines drew near to the battle against Israel. And YHWH thundered in a loud thunder that day upon the Philistines, and He confused them and they were struck before the face of Israel.
1 Samuel 7:11	And Israel went out from the men of Mizpah, and they pursued the Philistines and drove them back even as far as below Beth-car.
1 Samuel 7:12	And Samuel took one stone and set [it] up between Mizpah and between Shen, and he called its name Ebenezer and said, “As far as here, YHWH has helped us.”
1 Samuel 7:13	And the Philistines were subdued; and they added not anymore to come into the territory of Israel. And the hand of YHWH was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
1 Samuel 7:14	And the cities that the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and its territory Israel delivered from the hand of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and between the Amorite.
1 Samuel 7:15	And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1 Samuel 7:16	And He went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpah, and he judged Israel in all these places.
1 Samuel 7:17	And his returning [was] to Ramath, for his house [was] there, and there he judged Israel. And he built there an altar to YHWH.
1 Samuel 8:1	And it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1 Samuel 8:2	And the name of his firstborn son was Joel, and the name of his second Abijah—judges in Beersheba.
1 Samuel 8:3	And his sons did not walk in his ways, and they turned aside after dishonest gain, and they took bribes and perverted justice.
1 Samuel 8:4	And all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,
1 Samuel 8:5	and they said to him, “Behold, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint to us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
1 Samuel 8:6	And the thing was bad in the eyes of Samuel when they said, “Give to us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to YHWH.
1 Samuel 8:7	And YHWH said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but Me they have rejected from reigning over them.
1 Samuel 8:8	According to all the works that they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, and to this day—and they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing also to you.
1 Samuel 8:9	And now listen to their voice. Only surely you must solemnly warn them and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”
1 Samuel 8:10	And Samuel told all the words of YHWH to the people who were asking from him a king.
1 Samuel 8:11	And he said, “This will be the behavior of the king who will reign over you⁺: Your⁺ sons he will take and appoint to his own chariots and horses, and [some] will run before the face of his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:12	And He will appoint for himself captains of thousands and captains of fifties also to plow his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
1 Samuel 8:13	And your⁺ daughters he will take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for bakers.
1 Samuel 8:14	And your⁺ fields and your⁺ vineyards and your⁺ olive groves—the best ones—he will take and give to his servants.
1 Samuel 8:15	And your⁺ grain and your⁺ vintage, He will take a tenth and give it to his officers and servants.
1 Samuel 8:16	And your⁺ menservants, and your⁺ maidservants, and your⁺ best cattle, and your⁺ donkeys, he will take and put to his work.
1 Samuel 8:17	He will take a tenth of your⁺ flock, and you⁺ will be his slaves.
1 Samuel 8:18	And you⁺ will cry out in that day because of your⁺ king whom you⁺ have chosen for yourselves, and YHWH will not answer you⁺ in that day.”
1 Samuel 8:19	And the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel, and they said, “No, but surely we will have a king over us,
1 Samuel 8:20	that we also may be like all the nations, that our king may judge us and go out before us and fight our battles.”
1 Samuel 8:21	And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he spoke them in the ears of YHWH.
1 Samuel 8:22	And YHWH said to Samuel, “Listen to their voice and appoint to them a king.” And Samuel said to the men of Israel, “Go, every man to his city.”
1 Samuel 9:1	And there was a man of Benjamin, and his name [was] Kish son of Abiel, son of Zeror, son of Bechorath, son of Aphiah, the son of a man of Benjamin, mighty of valor.
1 Samuel 9:2	And he had a son, and his name [was] Saul, a choice youth and handsome. And not a man among the sons of Israel [was] more handsome than he—from his shoulder and upward he was taller than any of the people.
1 Samuel 9:3	And the donkeys of Kish father of Saul were lost, and Kish said to Saul his son, “Please take with you one of the servants and arise, go and look for the donkeys.”
1 Samuel 9:4	And he passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and through the land of Shalisha, and they did not find [them]. And they passed through the land of Shaalim and [they were] not there. And he passed through the land of the Benjamite, and they did not find [them].
1 Samuel 9:5	They came into the land of Zuph, and Saul said to his servant who [was] with him, “Come and let us return, lest my father cease about the donkeys, and become worried about us.”
1 Samuel 9:6	And he said to him, “Behold now, a man of God [is] in this city, and the man is honored; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can declare to us the way on which we should go.”
1 Samuel 9:7	And Saul said to his servant, “And behold, [if] we go, what shall we bring to the man? For the bread is all gone in our vessels, and there is no gift to bring to the man of God. What do we have?”
1 Samuel 9:8	And the servant added to answer Saul, and he said, “Behold, I have here at hand a fourth of a shekel of silver. I will give [that] to the man of God to declare to us our way.”
1 Samuel 9:9	(Formerly in Israel, thus spoke the man in his going to inquire of God: “Come, and let us go to the seer.” For the prophet today was formerly called the seer.)
1 Samuel 9:10	And Saul said to his servant, “Your word [is] good. Come, let us go.” And they went to the city where there [was] the man of God.
1 Samuel 9:11	They were going up on the ascent of the city, and they met young women going out to draw water and said to them, “Is there the seer in this [place]?”
1 Samuel 9:12	And they answered them and said, “He is; behold, ahead of you. Hurry now, for today he came to the city, for unto the people there is a sacrifice today on the high place.
1 Samuel 9:13	In your⁺ entering the city, thus you⁺ will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice. After thus, those will eat who are invited. And now go up, for at this time you⁺ will find him.”
1 Samuel 9:14	And they went up to the city. They were coming into the midst of the city, and there was Samuel coming out toward them on his way up to the high place.
1 Samuel 9:15	And YHWH had uncovered the ear of Samuel one day before the coming of Saul, saying,
1 Samuel 9:16	“At this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may save My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”
1 Samuel 9:17	And Samuel saw Saul, and YHWH said to him, “Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.”
1 Samuel 9:18	And Saul drew near to Samuel in the midst of the gate and said, “Tell me please, where [is] the house of the seer?”
1 Samuel 9:19	And Samuel answered Saul and said, “I [am] the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you⁺ shall eat with me today. And I will let you go tomorrow, and all that [is] in your heart I will declare to you.
1 Samuel 9:20	And as for the donkeys that were lost to you three days ago, set not your heart to them, for they have been found. And on whom [is] all the desire of Israel? Is [it] not on you and on all the house of your father?”
1 Samuel 9:21	And Saul answered and said, “[Am] I not a Benjamite, from the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin? And why do you speak to me like this?”
1 Samuel 9:22	And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the hall and had them sit in the place of honor of those called, and they [were] about thirty persons.
1 Samuel 9:23	And Samuel said to the cook, “Bring the portion that I gave to you, of which I said to you: Set it by you.”
1 Samuel 9:24	And the cook took up the leg and what was attached to it, and he set it before the face of Saul. And he said, “Behold, what was kept back! [It] was set apart for you. Eat, for to this appointed season it has been kept for you, saying, ‘The people I have invited.’” And Saul ate with Samuel that day.
1 Samuel 9:25	And they had come down from the high place into the city, and he spoke with Saul on the roof.
1 Samuel 9:26	And they arose early, and it came to pass at the ascending of the dawn, that Samuel called to Saul on the roof, saying, “Get up, that I may send you on your way.” And Saul arose, and went the two of them—he and Samuel—outside.
1 Samuel 9:27	As they were going down to the outskirts of the city, Samuel said to Saul, “Speak to the servant that he may pass on before our face,” and he went on. “And you stand awhile, and I will make you hear the word of God.”
1 Samuel 10:1	And Samuel took a flask of the oil and poured [it] on his head, and he kissed him and said, “Is [it] not because YHWH has anointed you over His inheritance as ruler?
1 Samuel 10:2	When you have departed today from me, you will find two men by the tomb of Rachel in the territory of Benjamin in Zelzah. And they will say to you, ‘The donkeys have been found that you went to look for. And behold, your father has ceased the matter of the donkeys, and is worrying about you⁺, saying, “What shall I do about my son?”’
1 Samuel 10:3	And you shall go on from there and beyond, and come to the Oak of Tabor, and there will meet you three men going up to God at Bethel, one carrying three young goats, and one carrying three loaves of bread, and one carrying a skin of wine;
1 Samuel 10:4	and they will greet you and give to you two [loaves] of bread, and you shall receive from their hands.
1 Samuel 10:5	After that you shall come to Gibeath-Elohim, where there [is] the garrison of the Philistines. And it will come to pass when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place, and before their face will be a harp, and a tambourine, and a flute, and a lyre, and they will be prophesying.
1 Samuel 10:6	And the Spirit of YHWH will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.
1 Samuel 10:7	And it will come to pass, when these signs come to you, [that] you shall do for yourself as your hand finds, for God [is] with you.
1 Samuel 10:8	And you shall go down before me to Gilgal, and surely I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings [and] to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings. Seven days you shall wait until I come to you and show you what you should do.
1 Samuel 10:9	And it came to pass, at his turning his back to go from Samuel, that God gave to him another heart, and all these signs came on that day.
1 Samuel 10:10	And they came there to Gibeah, and there was a group of prophets to meet him, and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied in their midst.
1 Samuel 10:11	And it came to pass that all who knew him before now saw, and behold, among the prophets he prophesied, and the people said one to another, “What [is] this [that] has come to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?”
1 Samuel 10:12	And a man from there answered and said, “And who [is] their father?” Upon thus it became a proverb: “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
1 Samuel 10:13	And he had finished prophesying, and he went to the high place.
1 Samuel 10:14	And the uncle of Saul said to him and his servant, “Where did you⁺ go?” And he said, “To look for the donkeys. And we saw that [they were] not, and we went to Samuel.”
1 Samuel 10:15	And the uncle of Saul said, “Please declare to me what Samuel said to you⁺.”
1 Samuel 10:16	And Saul said to his uncle, “He surely declared to us that the donkeys had been found.” And about the matter of the kingdom he did not declare to him what Samuel had said.
1 Samuel 10:17	And Samuel called together the people to YHWH at Mizpah,
1 Samuel 10:18	and he said to the sons of Israel, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel, ‘I brought up Israel out of Egypt and snatched you⁺ up from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of all the kingdoms who were oppressing you⁺.”
1 Samuel 10:19	And you⁺ today have rejected your⁺ God, who Himself saved you⁺ from all your⁺ adversities and your⁺ distresses, and you⁺ have said to Him, ‘No, but a king set over us.’ And now present yourselves before the face of YHWH by your⁺ tribes and by your⁺ thousands.”
1 Samuel 10:20	And Samuel had caused to come near all the tribes of Israel, and the tribe of Benjamin was chosen.
1 Samuel 10:21	And he had caused to come near the tribe of Benjamin by their clans, and the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul son of Kish was chosen, and they sought him, and he could not be found.
1 Samuel 10:22	And they inquired further of YHWH, “Has the man yet come here?” And YHWH answered, “Behold, he has hidden himself among the vessels.”
1 Samuel 10:23	And they ran and brought him from there, and he stood in the midst of the people, and he was taller than any of the people from his shoulder and upward.
1 Samuel 10:24	And Samuel said to all the people, “Do you⁺ see him whom YHWH has chosen, that no one [is] like him among all the people?” And all the people shouted and said, “May the king live!”
1 Samuel 10:25	And Samuel explained to the people the right of the kingdom, and he wrote it in a book and laid [it] up before the face of YHWH. And Samuel sent away all the people, every man to his house.
1 Samuel 10:26	And also Saul went home to Gibeah, and the mighty went with him of whom the hearts God had touched.
1 Samuel 10:27	And sons of worthlessness said, “How can this one save us?” And they despised him and brought him no gift, and he was like one being silent.
1 Samuel 11:1	And Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh-gilead. And all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make with us a covenant, and we will serve you.”
1 Samuel 11:2	And Nahash the Ammonite answered to them, “On this I will cut with you⁺, that I may put out of you⁺ every right eye and bring reproach on all Israel.”
1 Samuel 11:3	And the elders of Jabesh said to him, “Hold off for seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And if no one is saving us, we will come out to you.”
1 Samuel 11:4	And the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and told the news in the ears of the people. And all the people lifted up their voices and wept.
1 Samuel 11:5	And there was Saul coming behind the herd from the field, and Saul said, “What [is] to the people, that they weep?” And they told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
1 Samuel 11:6	And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was kindled greatly.
1 Samuel 11:7	And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent [them] throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not go out to battle with Saul and Samuel, so it shall be done to his oxen.” And the dread of YHWH fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
1 Samuel 11:8	And he numbered them in Bezek, and the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
1 Samuel 11:9	And they said to the messengers who had come, “Thus you⁺ shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, ‘Tomorrow shall be to you⁺ salvation by the heat of the sun.’” And the messengers came and declared this to the men of Jabesh, and they were glad.
1 Samuel 11:10	And the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you⁺, and you⁺ may do with us whatever seems good to you⁺.”
1 Samuel 11:11	And it came to pass on the next day [that] Saul put the people in three companies, and they came into the midst of the camp in the morning watch, and they struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. And it came to pass that those who survived were scattered, and not two of them were left together.
1 Samuel 11:12	And the people said to Samuel, “Who [is] he who said: Saul shall reign over us? Bring the men, that we may put them to death.”
1 Samuel 11:13	And Saul said, “Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today YHWH has done salvation in Israel.”
1 Samuel 11:14	And Samuel said to the people, “Come, and we go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there.”
1 Samuel 11:15	And all the people went to Gilgal, and they made Saul king there before the face of YHWH in Gilgal. And they made sacrifices there of peace offerings before the face of YHWH, and there Saul rejoiced, and all the men of Israel, very greatly.
1 Samuel 12:1	And Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have listened to your⁺ voice in all that you⁺ said to me, and I have made reign over you⁺ a king.
1 Samuel 12:2	And here is the king, walking before you⁺, and I am old and have become gray. And my sons, behold, [are] with you⁺, and I have walked before you⁺ from my childhood to this day.
1 Samuel 12:3	Behold, witness against me before YHWH and before His anointed. The ox of whom have I taken? Or the donkey of whom have I taken? Or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? Or from the hand of whom have I received a bribe and hidden my eyes with it? And I will restore it to you⁺.”
1 Samuel 12:4	And they said, “You have not oppressed us and you have not crushed us, and you have not taken anything from the hand of man.”
1 Samuel 12:5	And he said to them, “YHWH [is] witness against you⁺, and His anointed [is] witness this day, that you⁺ have not found anything in my hand.” And he said, “Witness.”
1 Samuel 12:6	And Samuel said to the people, “YHWH [is] He who made Moses and Aaron, and who brought up your⁺ fathers from the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel 12:7	And now station yourselves, and I will judge with you⁺ before the face of YHWH concerning all the righteous acts of YHWH that He did for you⁺ for you your⁺ fathers.
1 Samuel 12:8	When Jacob had gone into Egypt, then your⁺ fathers cried out to YHWH, and YHWH sent Moses and Aaron, and they brought out your⁺ fathers from Egypt and made them dwell in this place.
1 Samuel 12:9	And they forgot YHWH their God, and He sold them into the hand of Sisera commander of the army of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab. And they fought against them.
1 Samuel 12:10	And they cried out to YHWH and said, ‘We have sinned, because we have forsaken YHWH and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths. Now snatch us up from the hand of our enemies, and we will serve You.’
1 Samuel 12:11	And YHWH sent Jerubbaal, and Barak, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and He snatched you⁺ up out of the hand of your⁺ enemies on every side, and you⁺ dwelt in safety.
1 Samuel 12:12	And you⁺ saw that Nahash king of the Ammonites came against you⁺, and you⁺ said to me, ‘No, but a king shall reign over us’—when YHWH your⁺ God [was] your⁺ king.
1 Samuel 12:13	And now here is the king whom you⁺ have chosen [and] whom you⁺ have desired. And behold, YHWH has set over you⁺ a king.
1 Samuel 12:14	If you⁺ fear YHWH, and serve Him, and listen to His voice, and do not rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then you⁺ will be [well]—both you⁺ and the king who reigns over you⁺ after YHWH your⁺ God!
1 Samuel 12:15	But if you⁺ do not listen to the voice of YHWH and rebel against the commandment of YHWH, then the hand of YHWH will be against you⁺ as against your⁺ fathers.
1 Samuel 12:16	Therefore now stand and see this great thing that YHWH will do before your⁺ eyes.
1 Samuel 12:17	Is [it] not the harvest of wheat this day? I will call to YHWH, and He will send thunder and rain, that you⁺ may perceive and see that your⁺ wickedness [is] great, which you⁺ have done in the eyes of YHWH in asking for yourselves a king.”
1 Samuel 12:18	And Samuel called to YHWH, and YHWH sent thunder and rain that day. And all the people greatly feared YHWH and Samuel.
1 Samuel 12:19	And all the people said to Samuel, “Pray for your servants to YHWH your God, that we may not die. For we have added to all our sins the evil of asking for ourselves a king.”
1 Samuel 12:20	And Samuel said to the people, “Do not be afraid. You⁺ have done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following YHWH, and serve YHWH with all your⁺ heart.
1 Samuel 12:21	And do not turn aside as though after the empty things that do not profit and do not deliver; for they [are] nothing.
1 Samuel 12:22	For YHWH will not forsake His people for the sake of His great name, because it has pleased YHWH to make you⁺ unto Him a people.
1 Samuel 12:23	As for me, moreover, far be it from me that I should sin against YHWH in ceasing to pray for you⁺. And I will teach you⁺ the good and the straight way.
1 Samuel 12:24	Only fear YHWH and serve Him in truth with all your⁺ heart; for consider that which He has made great with you⁺.
1 Samuel 12:25	But if you⁺ persist in doing evil, both you⁺ and your⁺ king will be swept away.”
1 Samuel 13:1	A son thirty years, Saul reigned, and forty-two years he had reigned over Israel,
1 Samuel 13:2	and Saul chose for himself three thousand of Israel: And two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. And the rest of the people he sent away, every man to his tent.
1 Samuel 13:3	And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that [was] in Geba, and the Philistines heard [of it]. And Saul blew upon a shofar throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear.”
1 Samuel 13:4	And all Israel heard it said, “Saul has attacked a garrison of the Philistines, and also Israel has become a stench to the Philistines.” And the people were called together to Saul at Gilgal.
1 Samuel 13:5	And the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel—three thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people like the sand that is on the shore of the sea in multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven.
1 Samuel 13:6	And the men of Israel saw that it was narrow to them, for the people were distressed. And the people hid in the caves, and in the thickets, and in the cliffs, and in the holes, and in the pits.
1 Samuel 13:7	And Hebrews passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. And as for Saul, he [was] still in Gilgal, and all the people trembled after him.
1 Samuel 13:8	And he waited seven days, for the time appointed by Samuel, and Samuel did not come to Gilgal. And the people were scattered from him.
1 Samuel 13:9	And Saul said, “Bring here to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings,” and he offered the burnt offering.
1 Samuel 13:10	And it came to pass, as he finished offering the burnt offering, that Samuel came, and Saul went out to meet him to bless him.
1 Samuel 13:11	And Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and you did not come within the appointed days, and the Philistines gathered together at Michmash,
1 Samuel 13:12	then I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down upon me at Gilgal, and to YHWH I have not made supplication.’ And I forced myself and I offered the burnt offering.”
1 Samuel 13:13	And Samuel said to Saul, “You have been foolish. You have not kept the commandment of YHWH your God, which He commanded you. For now YHWH would have established your kingdom over Israel even to forever.
1 Samuel 13:14	And your kingdom shall not continue, for YHWH Himself has sought a man after His own heart, and YHWH has commanded him to be ruler over His people, because you have not kept what YHWH commanded you.”
1 Samuel 13:15	And Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people present with him, about six hundred men.
1 Samuel 13:16	And Saul and Jonathan his son and the people present with them remained in Geba of Benjamin. And the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
1 Samuel 13:17	And the destroyer went out from the camp of the Philistines—three companies. One company turned to the way of Ophrah, to the land of Shual.
1 Samuel 13:18	And one company turned to the way of Beth-Horon. And one company turned [to] the way of the border which is looking on the Valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
1 Samuel 13:19	And there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.”
1 Samuel 13:20	And all Israel would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man his plowshare, and his mattock, and his ax, and his sickle.
1 Samuel 13:21	And the charge was a pim for the plowshares and the mattocks, and for a third [of a shekel] the forks and the axes, and to set the points of the goads.
1 Samuel 13:22	And it came to pass on the day of battle that there was found not a sword or spear in the hand of any of the people who [were] with Saul and Jonathan. And one was found for Saul and for Jonathan his son.
1 Samuel 13:23	And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.
1 Samuel 14:1	And one day it came to pass that Jonathan son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, and let us pass over to the garrison of the Philistines that [is] on the other side of this.” And his father he did not tell.
1 Samuel 14:2	And Saul was sitting in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree that [is] in Migron, and the people who [were] with him, about six hundred men.
1 Samuel 14:3	And Ahijah son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas, son of Eli priest of YHWH in Shiloh, was wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan had gone.
1 Samuel 14:4	And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to pass over to the garrison of the Philistines [were] a sharp rock on this side and a sharp rock on this side—the name of one Bozez, and the name of one Seneh.
1 Samuel 14:5	The front of one faced northward opposite Michmash, and one southward opposite Geba.
1 Samuel 14:6	And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come and let us pass over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. Perhaps YHWH will work for us, for nothing can restrain YHWH from saving by many or by few.”
1 Samuel 14:7	And the bearer of his armor said to him, “Do all that [is] in your heart; turn for yourself. Behold, [I am] with you according to your heart.”
1 Samuel 14:8	And Jonathan said, “Behold, we will pass over to the men and we will show ourselves to them.
1 Samuel 14:9	If they say thus to us, ‘Wait until we come to you⁺,’ we will stand still in our place and not go up to them.
1 Samuel 14:10	But if thus they say, ‘Come up to us,’ we will go up, for YHWH has delivered them into our hands, and this [is] a sign to us.”
1 Samuel 14:11	And the two of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines, and the Philistines said, “Behold, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden.”
1 Samuel 14:12	And the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and the bearer of his armor and said, “Come up to us, and we will show you⁺ something.” And Jonathan said to the bearer of his armor, “Come up after me, for YHWH has delivered them into the hand of Israel.”
1 Samuel 14:13	And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and on his feet, and the bearer of his armor after him, and they fell before the face of Jonathan, and the bearer of his armor killed them after him.
1 Samuel 14:14	And that first slaughter that Jonathan and the bearer of his armor struck was about twenty men in about half a furrow of a yoke of land,
1 Samuel 14:15	and there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people in the garrison, and the raiders trembled—even they—and the earth quaked. And it became a trembling from God.
1 Samuel 14:16	And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and there was the multitude melting away, and it went here and there.
1 Samuel 14:17	And Saul said to the people who [were] with him, “Call the roll now, and see who has gone from us.” And they had called the roll, and behold, Jonathan and the bearer of his armor [were] not there.
1 Samuel 14:18	And Saul said to Ahijah, “Bring here the ark of God.” (For the ark of God was at that time with the sons of Israel.)
1 Samuel 14:19	And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the noise that [was] in the camp of the Philistines went on, going on and increasing. And Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand.”
1 Samuel 14:20	And Saul assembled all the people who [were] with him, and they went to the battle. And behold, the sword of every man was against his neighbor—very great confusion.
1 Samuel 14:21	And the Hebrews [who] were with the Philistines before that time, who went up with them into the camp from all around, even they were with Israel, who [were] with Saul and Jonathan.
1 Samuel 14:22	And all the men of Israel who had hidden in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, and they also pursued after them in the battle.
1 Samuel 14:23	And YHWH saved Israel that day, and the battle shifted to beyond Beth-aven.
1 Samuel 14:24	And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, “Cursed is the man who eats food before the evening, when I have taken vengeance on my enemies.” And none of all the people tasted food.
1 Samuel 14:25	And the whole land came into the forest, and there was honey on the face of the ground.
1 Samuel 14:26	And the people had come into the forest, and there was the honey dripping, and no one put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath.
1 Samuel 14:27	And Jonathan had not heard [that] his father had adjured the people, and he stretched out the end of the rod that [was] in his hand, and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
1 Samuel 14:28	And a man of the people answered and said, “Your father adjured the people with a solemn oath, saying, ‘Cursed is the man who eats food this day.’” And the people were faint.
1 Samuel 14:29	And Jonathan said, “My father has troubled the land. Behold now, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
1 Samuel 14:30	How much better that if the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies that they found? For now would there not have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?”
1 Samuel 14:31	And that day they had driven back the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people were very faint.
1 Samuel 14:32	And the people rushed upon the plunder, and they took sheep and oxen and sons of the herd, and slaughtered [them] on the ground; and the people ate [them] with the blood.
1 Samuel 14:33	And they declared to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against YHWH by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You⁺ have dealt treacherously. Roll to me this day a large stone.”
1 Samuel 14:34	And Saul said, “Be you scattered among the people, and say to them, ‘Bring to me here every man’s ox, and every man’s sheep, and slaughter [them] in this [place], and eat, and do not sin against YHWH by eating with the blood.’” And all the people brought everyone his ox in his hand that night, and slaughtered [it] there.
1 Samuel 14:35	And Saul built an altar to YHWH; it was the first altar that he built to YHWH.
1 Samuel 14:36	And Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the light of the morning, and let us leave not a man of them.” And they said, “All that is good in your eyes, do.” And the priest said, “Let us draw near here to God.”
1 Samuel 14:37	And Saul inquired of God, “Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You give them into the hand of Israel?” And He did not answer him on that day.
1 Samuel 14:38	And Saul said, “Draw near here, all the chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.
1 Samuel 14:39	For [as] YHWH lives who saves Israel, surely if it is in Jonathan my son, indeed he must surely be put to death.” And not a man answered him among all the people.
1 Samuel 14:40	And he said to all Israel, “You⁺ will be on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on one side.” And the people said to Saul, “The good in your eyes, do.”
1 Samuel 14:41	And Saul said to YHWH, God of Israel, “[Why have You not answered Your servant this day? If the fault is with me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the fault is with the men of Israel,] respond with Thummim.” And Jonathan and Saul were taken, and the people escaped.
1 Samuel 14:42	And Saul said, “Cast [lots] between me and between Jonathan my son.” And Jonathan was taken.
1 Samuel 14:43	And Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him and said, “I surely tasted with the end of the rod that [was] in my hand a little honey. And behold, I must die?”
1 Samuel 14:44	And Saul answered, “Thus God does, and thus does He add, for you shall surely be put to death, Jonathan.”
1 Samuel 14:45	And the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great salvation in Israel? Profane! As YHWH lives, if shall fall a hair of his head to the ground! For with God he has worked this day.” And the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.
1 Samuel 14:46	And Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.
1 Samuel 14:47	And Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fought on every side against all his enemies—against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.
1 Samuel 14:48	And he made a force and struck the Amalekite, and he delivered Israel from the hand of those who plundered them.
1 Samuel 14:49	And the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchishua—and [as for] the names of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn [was] Merab, and the name of the younger [was] Michal.
1 Samuel 14:50	And the name of the wife of Saul [was] Ahinoam daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army [was] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul.
1 Samuel 14:51	And Kish [was] the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner [was] son of Abiel.
1 Samuel 14:52	And war with the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul. And Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant son, and he gathered him to himself.
1 Samuel 15:1	And Samuel said to Saul, “YHWH sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. And now listen to the voice of the words of YHWH.
1 Samuel 15:2	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘I have looked after that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid in wait for him on the way in his going up out of Egypt.
1 Samuel 15:3	Now go and strike the Amalekite, and utterly destroy all that [is] unto him, and do not spare him, and kill from man to woman, and from infant to nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’”
1 Samuel 15:4	And Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim—two hundred thousand foot soldiers and ten thousand men of Judah.
1 Samuel 15:5	And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and he lay in wait in the valley.
1 Samuel 15:6	And Saul said to the Kenite, “Go, depart, get down from the midst of the Amalekite, lest I consume you with him. For you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel in their going up out of Egypt.” And the Kenite departed from the midst of the Amalekite,
1 Samuel 15:7	and Saul struck the Amalekite from Havilah all the way to Shur, which [is] on the face of Egypt.
1 Samuel 15:8	And He took Agag king of the Amalekite alive, and all the people he devoted to destruction with the mouth of the sword.
1 Samuel 15:9	And Saul and the people had pity 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 was] good, and they were not willing to utterly destroy them, and all the work [that was] despised and worthless they devoted to destruction.
1 Samuel 15:10	And the word of YHWH came to Samuel, saying,
1 Samuel 15:11	“I regret that Saul I have made reign [as] king, for he has turned back from following Me, and My commandments he has not performed.” And it grieved Samuel, and he cried out to YHWH all the night.
1 Samuel 15:12	And Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, and it was declared to Samuel, saying, “Saul has come in to Carmel, and indeed, he has set up for himself a monument, and he has turned and passed over and gone down to Gilgal.”
1 Samuel 15:13	And Samuel went to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH! I have performed the commandment of YHWH.”
1 Samuel 15:14	And Samuel said, “And what [is] this bleating of sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the herd that I am hearing?”
1 Samuel 15:15	And Saul said, “From the Amalekite they have brought them, for the people spared the best of the flock and of the herd to sacrifice to YHWH your God, and the rest we devoted to destruction.”
1 Samuel 15:16	And Samuel said to Saul, “Be quiet, and I will tell you what YHWH said to me [in] the night.” And he said to him, “Speak.”
1 Samuel 15:17	And Samuel said, “Is [it] not [that] when you [were] small in your own eyes—the head of the tribes of Israel—then YHWH anointed you as king over Israel?
1 Samuel 15:18	And YHWH sent you in the way and said, ‘Go and devote to destruction the sinful Amalekite, and fight against them until they are consumed.’
1 Samuel 15:19	And why did you not listened to the voice of YHWH, and why did you swoop down on the spoil and do the evil in the eyes of YHWH?”
1 Samuel 15:20	And Saul said to Samuel, “Because I have listened to the voice of YHWH and gone in the way that YHWH sent me and brought back Agag king of Amalek, and the Amalekite I have devoted to destruction.
1 Samuel 15:21	And the people took from the plunder sheep and oxen, the first part of the devoted thing, to sacrifice to YHWH your God in Gilgal.”
1 Samuel 15:22	And Samuel said, “Has YHWH delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as [in] listening to the voice of YHWH? Behold, to listen is better than sacrifice, [and] to heed than the fat of rams.
1 Samuel 15:23	For [as] the sin of witchcraft [is] rebellion, and iniquity and teraphim [is] stubbornness, because you have rejected the word of YHWH, so He has rejected you as king.”
1 Samuel 15:24	And Saul said to Samuel, “I have sinned; for I have transgressed the commandment of YHWH, and your words, because I feared the people and I listened to their voice.
1 Samuel 15:25	And now, please, lift up my sin and return with me, that I may worship YHWH.”
1 Samuel 15:26	And Samuel said to Saul, “I will not return with you, for you have rejected the word of YHWH, and YHWH has rejected you from being king over Israel.”
1 Samuel 15:27	And Samuel turned around to go away, and he laid hold of the edge of his robe, and it tore.
1 Samuel 15:28	And Samuel said to him, “YHWH has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and He has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.
1 Samuel 15:29	And also the Glory of Israel does not lie and does not repent, for He [is] not a man, that He should repent.”
1 Samuel 15:30	And he said, “I have sinned; now honor me, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may worship YHWH your God.”
1 Samuel 15:31	And Samuel turned back after Saul, and Saul worshiped YHWH.
1 Samuel 15:32	And Samuel said, “Bring here to me Agag king of the Amalekite.” And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
1 Samuel 15:33	And Samuel said, “As your sword has made childless women, so Your mother shall be childless among women.” And Samuel hacked to pieces Agag before the face of YHWH in Gilgal.
1 Samuel 15:34	And Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.
1 Samuel 15:35	And Samuel added not to see Saul until the day of his death; nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, and YHWH regretted that Saul He had made king over Israel.
1 Samuel 16:1	And YHWH said to Samuel, “Until when will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse the Beth-lehemite, for I have provided among his sons for Myself a king.”
1 Samuel 16:2	And Samuel said, “How can I go? If Saul hears [it], he will kill me.” And YHWH said, “Take a heifer of the herd with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to YHWH.’
1 Samuel 16:3	And invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do. And you shall anoint for Me whom I speak to you.”
1 Samuel 16:4	And Samuel did what YHWH had spoken, and he came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, “Do you come in peace?”
1 Samuel 16:5	And he said, “In peace to sacrifice to YHWH I have come. Sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
1 Samuel 16:6	And it was in their coming that he saw Eliab and said, “Surely before YHWH [is] His anointed.”
1 Samuel 16:7	And YHWH said to Samuel, “Look not at his appearance, or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For [it is] not as the man sees—for the man looks at the eyes, and YHWH looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:8	And Jesse called to Abinadab and made him pass before the face of Samuel. And he said, “Also this one YHWH has not chosen.”
1 Samuel 16:9	And Jesse made Shammah pass over, and he said, “This one YHWH has not chosen.”
1 Samuel 16:10	And Jesse made seven of his sons pass over before the face of Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “YHWH has not chosen these.”
1 Samuel 16:11	And Samuel said to Jesse, “The young men are finished?” And he said, “Yet there remains the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we will not sit down until he comes here.”
1 Samuel 16:12	And he sent and brought him in, and he [was] ruddy with bright eyes, and good in appearance. And YHWH said, “Arise, anoint him, for this [is] he.”
1 Samuel 16:13	And Samuel took the horn of the oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of YHWH came upon David from that day and forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.
1 Samuel 16:14	And the Spirit of YHWH departed from Saul, and a spirit of distress from YHWH troubled him.
1 Samuel 16:15	And the servants of Saul said to him, “Behold, please, a spirit of distress [from] God is troubling you.
1 Samuel 16:16	Command, our master, please, your servants to seek out before you a skillful man, playing on the harp. And it shall be when the spirit of distress [from] God is upon you, that he shall play with his hand, and [it will be] well with you.”
1 Samuel 16:17	And Saul said to his servants, “Please provide for me a man playing well, and bring [him] to me.”
1 Samuel 16:18	And one of the servants answered and said, “Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, being skilled [in] playing and mighty of valor, and a man of war, and prudent in speech, and a man of [good] appearance, and YHWH [is] with him.”
1 Samuel 16:19	And Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and he said, “Send to me David your son, who [is] with the sheep.”
1 Samuel 16:20	And Jesse took a donkey [with] bread, and a skin of wine, and one kid of the goats, and he sent them by the hand of David his son to Saul.
1 Samuel 16:21	And David came to Saul and stood before his face, and he loved him greatly, and he became to him a bearer of weapons.
1 Samuel 16:22	And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, “Let David, please, stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.”
1 Samuel 16:23	And it came to pass when the spirit [from] God is upon Saul, that David would take the harp and play with his hand for Saul, and he would become refreshed, and it was well with him, and the spirit of distress would depart from him.
1 Samuel 17:1	And the Philistines gathered together their camps for the battle, and they were gathered together at Sochoh which [is] to Judah, and they encamped between Sochoh and between Azekah in Ephes-dammim.
1 Samuel 17:2	And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah and arrayed for battle against the Philistines.
1 Samuel 17:3	And the Philistines stood on the mountain on this side, and Israel stood on the mountain on this side, and the valley was between them.
1 Samuel 17:4	And went out a man, a champion from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath. His height [was] six cubits and a span.
1 Samuel 17:5	And a helmet of brass [was] on his head, and with a coat of mail he was clothed, and the weight of the coat [was] five thousand shekels of bronze.
1 Samuel 17:6	And a frontlet of bronze [was] on his legs, and a javelin of bronze between his shoulders.
1 Samuel 17:7	And the staff of his spear [was] like a beam of weavers, and the flame of his spear [was] six hundred shekels of iron. And the bearer of the buckler went before his face.
1 Samuel 17:8	And he stood and cried out to the ranks of Israel and said to them, “Why have you⁺ come out to draw up lines [for] battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you⁺ the servants of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man, and let him come down to me.
1 Samuel 17:9	If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your⁺ servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you⁺ will become our servants and serve us.”
1 Samuel 17:10	And the Philistine said, “I defy the ranks of Israel this day! Give to me a man, that we may fight together.”
1 Samuel 17:11	And Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, and they were dismayed and greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:12	And David [was] the son of this Ephrathite man from Bethlehem [in] Judah, and his name [was] Jesse. And [were] to him eight sons among men. In the days of Saul he had become aged among men.
1 Samuel 17:13	And the three oldest the sons of Jesse had gone to follow after Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle [were] Eliab the firstborn, and his second Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
1 Samuel 17:14	And David was the youngest, and the three oldest followed Saul.
1 Samuel 17:15	And David went and returned from Saul to feed the flock of his father in Bethlehem.
1 Samuel 17:16	And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and he stationed himself forty days.
1 Samuel 17:17	And Jesse said to David his son, “Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain, and these ten [loaves] of bread, and run to the camp to your brothers.
1 Samuel 17:18	And these ten cuttings of the cheese carry to the captain of the thousand, and your brothers inspect for welfare, and bring back their pledge.”
1 Samuel 17:19	And Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, [were] in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
1 Samuel 17:20	And David rose early in the morning, and left the flock with a keeper, and loaded up, and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the camp and to the force going out to the fight and shouting for the battle.
1 Samuel 17:21	And Israel and the Philistines had arrayed rank against rank.
1 Samuel 17:22	And David left his supplies in the hand of the keeper of the goods, and he ran into the rank, and came and asked his brothers of welfare.
1 Samuel 17:23	And as he talked with them, behold, a man, the champion, was coming up, by the name of Goliath the Philistine of Gath, from the armies of the Philistines. And he spoke these words, and David heard.
1 Samuel 17:24	And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were greatly afraid.
1 Samuel 17:25	And the men of Israel said, “Have you⁺ seen this man who has come up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel. And it shall come to pass [that] the man who kills him, the king will enrich with great riches, and his daughter will give to him, and the house of his father he will make free in Israel.”
1 Samuel 17:26	And David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, “What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from upon Israel? For who [is] this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the ranks of the living God?”
1 Samuel 17:27	And the people answered him in this manner, saying, “So shall it be done for the man who kills him.”
1 Samuel 17:28	And Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men, and the anger of Eliab was kindled against David, and he said, “Why [is] this [that] you came down, and with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and the insolence of your heart, for in order you have come down to see the battle.”
1 Samuel 17:29	And David said, “What have I done now? Was it not a word?”
1 Samuel 17:30	And he turned from him toward another front, and he spoke this word, and the people answered him a word as the first word.
1 Samuel 17:31	And the words that David spoke were heard, and they reported [them] to Saul, and he sent for him.
1 Samuel 17:32	And David said to Saul, “Let no heart of man fail because of him. Your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
1 Samuel 17:33	And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him, for you [are] a youth, and he [is] a man of war from his youth.”
1 Samuel 17:34	And David said to Saul, “Your servant has been pasturing the sheep of his father, and the lion or the bear came and carried away a lamb out of the flock,
1 Samuel 17:35	and I went out after it and struck it and snatched it up from its mouth. And it arose against me, and I caught [it] by its beard, and struck it down and killed it.
1 Samuel 17:36	Even the lion and the bear your servant has killed, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, for he has defied the armies of the living God.”
1 Samuel 17:37	And David said, “YHWH, who snatched me up from the hand of the lion and from the hand of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and YHWH be with you.”
1 Samuel 17:38	And Saul clothed David with his armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him in armor.
1 Samuel 17:39	And David fastened his sword above his long robe and began to go, for he had not tested [them]. And David said to Saul, “I am not able to walk with these, for I have not tested [them].” And David turned them aside from himself.
1 Samuel 17:40	And he took his staff in his hand, and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and he put them in a bag of the shepherd that [was] unto him, even in the pouch. And his sling was in his hand, and he drew near to the Philistine.
1 Samuel 17:41	And the Philistine came, going and drawing near to David, and the man [went] who bore the shield before him.
1 Samuel 17:42	And the Philistine looked about and saw David and despised him, for he was a youth, and ruddy, with a fair appearance.
1 Samuel 17:43	And the Philistine said to David, “Am I a dog, that you would come to me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1 Samuel 17:44	And the Philistine said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the field.”
1 Samuel 17:45	And David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with the sword, and with the spear, and with the javelin, and I come to you in the name of YHWH of Hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, whom you have defied.
1 Samuel 17:46	This day YHWH will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you, and I will give the carcass of the camp of the Philistines this day to the bird of the heavens and to the beast of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
1 Samuel 17:47	And all this assembly shall know that YHWH saves not with sword and with spear, for the battle [is] to YHWH, and He will give to you⁺ into our hands.”
1 Samuel 17:48	And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hurried and ran to the rank to meet the Philistine.
1 Samuel 17:49	And David put his hand in the vessel and took out a stone, and he slung [it] and struck the Philistine in his forehead, and the stone sank into his forehead. And he fell on his face to the ground.
1 Samuel 17:50	And David prevailed over the Philistine with the sling and with the stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him. And no sword [was] in the hand of David.
1 Samuel 17:51	And David ran and stood over the Philistine, and he took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and he killed him and cut off with it his head. And the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, and they fled.
1 Samuel 17:52	And the men of Israel and Judah arose, and they shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of Gath and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the road to Shaaraim, and to Gath, and to Ekron.
1 Samuel 17:53	And the sons of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they plundered their camps.
1 Samuel 17:54	And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem. And he put his weapons in his tent.
1 Samuel 17:55	And Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, and he said to Abner the commander of the army, “The son of whom [is] this youth, Abner?” And Abner said, “As your soul lives, O king, if I know.”
1 Samuel 17:56	And the king said, “Inquire you, the son of whom this [is]—the young man.”
1 Samuel 17:57	And David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, and Abner took him and brought him before the face of Saul, and the head of the Philistine was in his hand.
1 Samuel 17:58	And Saul said to him, “The son of whom [are] you, O young man?” And David answered, “The son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
1 Samuel 18:1	And it came to pass, when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel 18:2	And Saul took him that day, and not anymore would he let him return to the house of his father.
1 Samuel 18:3	And cut Jonathan and David a covenant, in his love for him as his own soul.
1 Samuel 18:4	And Jonathan took off the robe that [was] on him and gave it to David, and his tunic, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
1 Samuel 18:5	And David went out everywhere Saul sent him; he acted wisely, and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
1 Samuel 18:6	And it came to pass in their coming in, that David was returning from the striking down of the Philistine, and the women had come out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet Saul the king with tambourines, with joy, and with triples.
1 Samuel 18:7	And the women answered as they danced, and said, “Saul has struck his thousands, and David his myriads.”
1 Samuel 18:8	And Saul was very hot, and this thing was evil in his eyes, and he said, “They have ascribed to David myriads, and to me they have ascribed the thousands. And more to him [is] only the kingdom.”
1 Samuel 18:9	And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
1 Samuel 18:10	And it came to pass on the next day, that a spirit of distress [from] God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house, and David played by his hand, day by day, and a spear [was] in the hand of Saul.
1 Samuel 18:11	And Saul cast the spear; for he said, “I will pin David to the wall.” And David escaped from his face twice.
1 Samuel 18:12	And Saul was afraid of David because YHWH was with him, and He had departed from Saul.
1 Samuel 18:13	And Saul turned aside from him and made him captain of a thousand, and he went out and came in before the face of the people.
1 Samuel 18:14	And David in all his ways acted wisely, and YHWH [was] with him.
1 Samuel 18:15	And Saul saw that he acted very wisely, and he was afraid of him.
1 Samuel 18:16	And all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before their faces.
1 Samuel 18:17	And Saul said to David, “Behold, my older daughter Merab, I will give her to you as a wife. Only be for me a valiant man and fight the battles of YHWH.” For Saul thought, “Let not my hand be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.”
1 Samuel 18:18	And David said to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I should be son-in-law to the king?”
1 Samuel 18:19	And it came to pass at the time to give Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as a wife.
1 Samuel 18:20	And Michal daughter of Saul loved David, and they told Saul, and the thing was right in his eyes.
1 Samuel 18:21	And Saul said, “I will give her to him, that she may be to him a snare, and the hand of the Philistines may be against him.” And Saul said to David a second [time], “You shall be son-in-law to me today.”
1 Samuel 18:22	And Saul commanded his servants, “Speak to David in secrecy and say, ‘Behold, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you, and now become son-in-law of the king.’”
1 Samuel 18:23	And the servants of Saul spoke in the ears of David these words. And David said, “Does it seem light in your⁺ eyes to be a son-in-law of the king? And I [am] a poor man and lightly esteemed.”
1 Samuel 18:24	And the servants of Saul declared to him, saying, “In these words David spoke.”
1 Samuel 18:25	And Saul said, “Thus you⁺ shall say to David, ‘The king does not desire any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines to take vengeance on the enemies of the king.’” And Saul planned to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 18:26	And his servants told to David these words, and the thing was right in the eyes of David to become son-in-law of the king. And the days were not full.
1 Samuel 18:27	And David arose and went, he and his men, and he struck among the Philistines two hundred men. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, to make himself son-in-law of the king. And Saul gave to him Michal his daughter as a wife.
1 Samuel 18:28	And Saul saw and knew that YHWH [was] with David, and [that] Michal daughter of Saul loved him.
1 Samuel 18:29	And Saul added to be afraid from the face of David; and still Saul was enemy of David all the days.
1 Samuel 18:30	And the princes of the Philistines went out. And it came to pass whenever they went out, [that] David acted more wisely than all the servants of Saul, and His name became highly esteemed.
1 Samuel 19:1	And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David. And Jonathan son of Saul delighted in David greatly.
1 Samuel 19:2	And Jonathan told David, saying, “Saul My father seeks to kill you. And now be on your guard, please, until the morning, and stay in a secret [place] and hide yourself.
1 Samuel 19:3	And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you [are], and I will speak about you with my father. And I will observe what [it is], and I will tell you.”
1 Samuel 19:4	And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, “Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works [are] very good toward you.
1 Samuel 19:5	For he took his life in his hands and killed the Philistine, and YHWH brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw [it] and rejoiced; and why would you sin against innocent blood to kill David for nothing?”
1 Samuel 19:6	And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, “[As] YHWH lives, he shall not be killed.”
1 Samuel 19:7	And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was before his face, as before heretofore.
1 Samuel 19:8	And it added to be war, and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and he struck them with a mighty blow, and they fled from his face.
1 Samuel 19:9	And a spirit of distress [from] YHWH came upon Saul, and he sat in his house, and his spear was in his hand, and David was playing by hand.
1 Samuel 19:10	And Saul sought to strike David with the spear and into the wall, and he slipped away from the face of Saul, and he drove the spear into the wall. And David fled and escaped in that night.
1 Samuel 19:11	And Saul sent messengers to the house of David to watch him and to kill him in the morning. And Michal his wife declared it to David, saying, “If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed.”
1 Samuel 19:12	And Michal let down David through a window, and he went and fled and escaped.
1 Samuel 19:13	And Michal took the teraphim and laid [it] in the bed, and she put a cover of goats’ [hair] for his head, and covered [it] with clothing.
1 Samuel 19:14	And Saul sent messengers to take David, and she said, “He [is] sick.”
1 Samuel 19:15	And Saul sent [back] the messengers to see David, saying, “Bring him up in the bed to me, that I may kill him.”
1 Samuel 19:16	And the messengers had come in, and there was the teraphim in the bed, and a cover of goats’ [hair] for his head.
1 Samuel 19:17	And Saul said to Michal, “Why have you deceived me like this and sent away my enemy, so that he has escaped?” And Michal answered to Saul, “He said to me, ‘Let me go; why should I kill you?’”
1 Samuel 19:18	And David fled and escaped and went to Samuel at Ramah, and he told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.
1 Samuel 19:19	And it was declared to Saul, saying, “Behold, David [is] in Naioth in Ramah.”
1 Samuel 19:20	And Saul sent messengers to take David, and they saw the group of prophets prophesying and Samuel standing [as] leader over them, and the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel 19:21	And was told Saul, and he sent other messengers and prophesied they likewise. And Saul added and sent messengers the third [time], and prophesied they also.
1 Samuel 19:22	And he went also to Ramah, and he came to the great well that [is] at Sechu. And he asked and said, “Where [are] Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, in Naioth in Ramah.”
1 Samuel 19:23	And he went there to Naioth in Ramah, and the Spirit of God was upon him, even him, and he went, going on, and he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel 19:24	And he also stripped off his clothes, and he prophesied in like manner before the face of Samuel, and he lay naked all that day and all the night. Upon thus they say, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
1 Samuel 20:1	And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and he came and said to Jonathan, “What have I done? What [is] my iniquity? And what [is] my sin before the face of your father, that he is seeking my life?”
1 Samuel 20:2	And Jonathan said to him, “Far be it! You shall not die! Behold, my father will not do a thing great or a thing small without first telling me. And why should my father hide from me this thing? This [is] not [so].”
1 Samuel 20:3	And David took an oath again and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.’ But truly [as] YHWH lives, and [as] your soul lives, but a step [is] between me and between death.”
1 Samuel 20:4	And Jonathan said to David, “What your soul says, I will do for you.”
1 Samuel 20:5	And David said to Jonathan, “Indeed, the New Moon [is] tomorrow, and I shall surely sit with the king to eat. Let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third evening.
1 Samuel 20:6	If your father misses me at all, then say, ‘David urgently requested from me to run [to] Bethlehem his city, for a yearly sacrifice [is] there for all of the clan.’
1 Samuel 20:7	If thus he says: ‘Good,’ your servant will be safe. But if he is enraged, [then] be sure that evil is determined by him.
1 Samuel 20:8	Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for into a covenant of YHWH you have brought your servant with you. And if there is in me iniquity, kill me yourself; and for what [is] this [that] you should bring me to your father?”
1 Samuel 20:9	And Jonathan said, “Far be it from you, for if I ever found out that evil was determined by my father to come upon you, would I not tell you?”
1 Samuel 20:10	And David said to Jonathan, “Who will tell me? Or what [if] your father answers you roughly?”
1 Samuel 20:11	And Jonathan said to David, “Come and let us go out into the field.” And the two of them went out into the field.
1 Samuel 20:12	And Jonathan said to David, “[By] YHWH, God of Israel—when I have sounded out my father by this time tomorrow [or] the third, and behold, [there is] good toward David, then will I not send to you and tell you.
1 Samuel 20:13	And may YHWH do to Jonathan, and thus may he add, if the evil upon you is good unto my father, and I will report it to you and send you away, that you may go in safety. And YHWH be with you as He has been with my father.
1 Samuel 20:14	And not only while I still live, will you show me loving devotion of YHWH, that I may not die.
1 Samuel 20:15	And you shall not cut off your loving devotion from my house even to forever, not [even] [when] YHWH has cut off each man of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
1 Samuel 20:16	And Jonathan cut with the house of David: “And may YHWH seek [it] at the hand of the enemies of David.”
1 Samuel 20:17	And Jonathan added [for] David to vow out of love for him, for with the love of his own soul he loved him.
1 Samuel 20:18	And Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow [is] the New Moon, and you will be missed because your seat will be found empty.
1 Samuel 20:19	And on the third day quickly go down, and come to the place where you hid yourself there on the day of the deed, and remain by the stone of Ezel.
1 Samuel 20:20	And I will shoot three arrows to the side, sending [them] out as though at a target.
1 Samuel 20:21	And there I will send a boy: ‘Go, find the arrows.’ If I expressly say to him, ‘Look, the arrows [are] [here] on this side and away from you, take them and come,’ then [there is] safety for you and there will be no matter, as YHWH lives.
1 Samuel 20:22	But if thus I say to the young man: ‘Behold, the arrows [are] away from you and further beyond,’ [then] you must go, for YHWH has sent you away.
1 Samuel 20:23	And as for the matter that we have spoken of—I and you—behold, YHWH is between me and between you even to forever.”
1 Samuel 20:24	And David hid in the field; and the New Moon had come, and the king sat down by the food to eat.
1 Samuel 20:25	And the king sat on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan arose, and Abner sat at the side of Saul, and the place of David was found empty.
1 Samuel 20:26	And Saul did not say anything on that day, for he said, “Something has happened to [that] he [is] not clean; he surely [is] not clean.”
1 Samuel 20:27	And it came to pass on the next day, the second of the New Moon, that the place of David was found empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, “Why has not the son of Jesse come either yesterday or today to eat?”
1 Samuel 20:28	And Jonathan answered Saul, “David urgently requested from me [to go] to Bethlehem,
1 Samuel 20:29	and he said, ‘Let me go, please, for our clan has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother himself has commanded to me. And if I have found favor in your eyes, may I go away, please, and see my brothers.’ Upon thus he has not come to the table of the king.”
1 Samuel 20:30	And the anger of Saul was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “[You] son of a perverse rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
1 Samuel 20:31	For all the days that the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you and your kingdom shall not be established. And now send and bring him to me, for he [is] a son of death.”
1 Samuel 20:32	And Jonathan answered Saul his father and said to him, “Why should he be killed? What has he done?”
1 Samuel 20:33	And Saul cast a spear at him to kill him, and Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.
1 Samuel 20:34	And Jonathan arose from the table in the heat of anger, and he ate no food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved for David because his father had treated him shamefully.
1 Samuel 20:35	And it came to pass in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a small boy [was] with him.
1 Samuel 20:36	And he said to his boy, “Run, find now the arrows that I shoot.” The boy ran, and he shot an arrow beyond him.
1 Samuel 20:37	And the boy had come to the place where the arrow was that Jonathan had shot, and Jonathan cried out after the boy and said, “Is not the arrow from you and beyond?”
1 Samuel 20:38	And Jonathan cried out after the boy, “Hurry, hurry; do not delay.” And the boy of Jonathan gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.
1 Samuel 20:39	And the boy did not know anything; only Jonathan and David knew of the matter.
1 Samuel 20:40	And Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy who [was] to him, and he said to him, “Go, bring [them] to the city.”
1 Samuel 20:41	The boy had gone, and David arose from the side at the south, and he fell on his nostrils to the ground, and he bowed down three times. And they kissed one another, and they wept one with another. But David did so more.
1 Samuel 20:42	And Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, since the two of us have sworn in the name of YHWH, saying, ‘May YHWH be between me and between you and between my seed and between your seed, even to forever.’” And he arose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.
1 Samuel 21:1	And David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech was afraid when he met David, and he said to him, “Why [are] you alone, and no man [is] with you?”
1 Samuel 21:2	And David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has ordered me on some business and said to me, ‘No man is to know anything about the business on which I send you, and about which I have commanded you.’ And I have directed the young men to such and such a place.
1 Samuel 21:3	And now, what have you on hand? Give five [loaves of] bread into my hand, or what is found.”
1 Samuel 21:4	And the priest answered David, and said, “[There is] no common bread to under my hand, but there is holy bread, if indeed the young men have kept themselves from women.”
1 Samuel 21:5	And David answered the priest and said to him, “Surely if women [have been] kept from us as yesterday and the day before yesterday when I came out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way; and also surely today it was sanctified in the vessel.”
1 Samuel 21:6	And the priest gave to him holy [bread], for there was no bread except for the Bread of the Presence, which is turned aside from the face of YHWH, to put hot bread in the day of its being taken away.
1 Samuel 21:7	And there [was] a man of the servants of Saul on that day detained before the face of YHWH, and his name [was] Doeg the Edomite, the chief of the shepherds who [belonged] to Saul.
1 Samuel 21:8	And David said to Ahimelech, “And is there not here under your hand a spear or a sword? For even my sword and even my weapons I have not brought with me, for the matter of the king was urgent.”
1 Samuel 21:9	And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, behold, it [is] wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If that you will take to you, take [it], for [there is] no other except it in this [place].” And David said, “None [is] like it; give it to me.”
1 Samuel 21:10	And David arose and fled that day from before Saul, and he came to Achish the king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:11	And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did not of this one they sing in their dances, saying, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his myriads?’”
1 Samuel 21:12	And David set these words in his heart, and he was exceedingly afraid of Achish king of Gath.
1 Samuel 21:13	And he changed his behavior before their eyes and feigned madness in their hands; and he scratched on the doors of the gate, and he let fall down his saliva on his beard.
1 Samuel 21:14	And Achish said to his servants, “Behold, you⁺ see the man is insane, why have you⁺ brought him to me?
1 Samuel 21:15	Am I lacking madmen, that you⁺ have brought this one to play the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?”
1 Samuel 22:1	And David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brothers heard [it], and all the house of his father, and they went down to him there.
1 Samuel 22:2	And gathered to him every man in distress, and every man who himself was indebted, and everyone bitter in soul, and he was captain over them. And there were with him about four hundred men.
1 Samuel 22:3	And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you⁺, until that I know what God will do for me.”
1 Samuel 22:4	And he brought them in before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
1 Samuel 22:5	And Gad the prophet said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” And David departed and entered the forest of Hereth.
1 Samuel 22:6	And Saul heard that David and the men who [were] with him had become known. And Saul was staying in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height, and his spear [was] in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
1 Samuel 22:7	And Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, sons of Benjamin! Even to all of you⁺ will the son of Jesse give fields and vineyards, [and] make you⁺ all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
1 Samuel 22:8	For you⁺ have all conspired against me, and [there is] no one uncovering my ear that my son has cut in with the son of Jesse. And none of you⁺ has shown concern for me or uncovered to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait as this day.”
1 Samuel 22:9	And answered Doeg the Edomite, and he was set over the servants of Saul, and he said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
1 Samuel 22:10	And he inquired for him of YHWH, and he gave provisions to him, and the sword of Goliath the Philistine he gave to him.”
1 Samuel 22:11	And the king sent to call Ahimelech son of Ahitub the priest, and all the house of his father, the priests who [were] in Nob. And they all came to the king.
1 Samuel 22:12	And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub.” And he answered, “Behold, my lord.”
1 Samuel 22:13	And Saul said to him, “Why have you⁺ conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in your giving to him bread and a sword and inquiring for him of God, that he should rise against me to lie in wait, as this day?”
1 Samuel 22:14	And Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, and son-in-law of the king, and has turned aside at your council, and is honorable in your house?
1 Samuel 22:15	Today did I begin to inquire for him of God? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, [or] to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this matter, small or great.”
1 Samuel 22:16	And the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all the house of your father.”
1 Samuel 22:17	And the king said to the guards who stood beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of YHWH, because their hands [are] also with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me.” But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of YHWH.
1 Samuel 22:18	And the king said to Doeg, “Turn you and kill the priests.” And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he himself attacked the priests. And he killed on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.
1 Samuel 22:19	And Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the mouth of the sword, from men and to women, from children and to nursing infants, and oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, with the mouth of the sword.
1 Samuel 22:20	And escaped one son of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, and his name [was] Abiathar, and he fled after David.
1 Samuel 22:21	And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of YHWH.
1 Samuel 22:22	And David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite [was] there that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself have turned against every soul of the house of your father.
1 Samuel 22:23	Stay with me; fear not, for he who seeks my life seeks your life, but you [are] safe with me.”
1 Samuel 23:1	And they declared to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the threshing floors.”
1 Samuel 23:2	And David inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And YHWH said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
1 Samuel 23:3	And the men of David said to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid, and how much more when we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?”
1 Samuel 23:4	And David once again inquired of YHWH, and YHWH answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
1 Samuel 23:5	And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and he led away their livestock and struck them with a mighty blow. And David saved those dwelling in Keilah.
1 Samuel 23:6	(And it came to pass, when Abiathar son of Ahimelech had fled to David at Keilah, [that] an ephod came down in his hand.)
1 Samuel 23:7	And it was told to Saul that David had gone to Keilah. And Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.”
1 Samuel 23:8	And Saul called together all the people for war to go down to Keilah to lay siege to David and his men.
1 Samuel 23:9	And David knew that Saul was devising evil against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring near the ephod.”
1 Samuel 23:10	And David said, “O YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
1 Samuel 23:11	Will the men of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O YHWH, God of Israel, declare, please, to Your servant.” And YHWH said, “He will come down.”
1 Samuel 23:12	And David said, “Will the men of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH said, “They will shut [you] up.”
1 Samuel 23:13	And David and his men arose, about six hundred men, and they went out from Keilah, and they went about in wherever they could go about. And to Saul it was declared that David had escaped from Keilah. And he ceased to go out.
1 Samuel 23:14	And David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the Wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, and God did not deliver him into his hand.
1 Samuel 23:15	And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David [was] in the Wilderness of Ziph in Horesh.
1 Samuel 23:16	And Jonathan son of Saul arose and went to David in Horesh, and he strengthened his hand in God.
1 Samuel 23:17	And he said to him, “Do not be afraid, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. And You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be to you for a second. Even thus knows Saul my father.”
1 Samuel 23:18	And the two of them cut a covenant before the face of YHWH. And David stayed in Horesh, and Jonathan went to his own house.
1 Samuel 23:19	And the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding with us in the strongholds in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?
1 Samuel 23:20	And now according to all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and to us [is] to enclose him into the hand of the king.”
1 Samuel 23:21	And Saul said, “Blessed [are] you⁺ of YHWH, for you⁺ have had compassion on me.
1 Samuel 23:22	Go, please, prepare further, and know and see the place where his foot is, [and] who has seen him there. For it is told to me he is extremely cunning.
1 Samuel 23:23	And see and know of all of the hiding places where he hides, and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you⁺. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the thousands of Judah.”
1 Samuel 23:24	And they arose and went to Ziph before the face of Saul. And David and his men [were] in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
1 Samuel 23:25	And Saul and his men went to seek [him], and they declared to David. And he went down to the rock and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And Saul heard and pursued after David in the Wilderness of Maon.
1 Samuel 23:26	And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on this side of the mountain. And David made haste to get away from Saul, and Saul and his men were encircling upon David and his men to capture them.
1 Samuel 23:27	And a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.”
1 Samuel 23:28	And Saul returned from pursuing after David, and he went against the Philistines. Upon thus they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
1 Samuel 23:29	And David went up from there and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
1 Samuel 24:1	And it came to pass, when Saul had returned from after the Philistines, that it was declared to him, saying, “Behold, David [is] in the Wilderness of En-gedi.”
1 Samuel 24:2	And Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and he went to seek David and his men on the face of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
1 Samuel 24:3	And he came to the folds of the flock by the road, and there [was] a cave. And Saul went in to cover his feet. And David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.
1 Samuel 24:4	And the men of David said to him, “This is the day of which YHWH said to you, ‘Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as is good in your eyes.’” And David arose and cut off a corner of the robe that [was] on Saul—in secrecy.
1 Samuel 24:5	And it came to pass after thus, that the heart of David troubled him, upon that he had cut off the skirt that [was] on Saul.
1 Samuel 24:6	And he said to his men, “Far be it from me, YHWH, that I should do this thing to my master—to the anointed of YHWH—to stretch out my hand against him, since he [is] the anointed of YHWH.”
1 Samuel 24:7	And David restrained his servants with words, and he did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on [his] way.
1 Samuel 24:8	And David arose after thus, and he went out of the cave, and he called out to Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And Saul looked behind him, and David bowed nostrils to the earth, and bowed down.
1 Samuel 24:9	And David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of a man saying, ‘Behold, David is seeking your harm’?
1 Samuel 24:10	behold, this day your eyes have seen that YHWH had delivered you today into my hand in the cave. And one said to kill you, and I had pity on you, and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord; for he [is] the anointed of YHWH.’
1 Samuel 24:11	And my father, see, yes, see the corner of your robe in my hand! For by cutting off the skirt of your robe and not killing you, know and see that evil and rebellion [are] not in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, and you hunt my life to take it.
1 Samuel 24:12	May YHWH judge between me and between you, and may YHWH avenge me on you. And my hand shall not be against you.
1 Samuel 24:13	As says the proverb of the ancients, ‘From the wicked proceeds wickedness,’ and my hand shall not be against you.
1 Samuel 24:14	After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? After a dead dog? After one flea?
1 Samuel 24:15	And may YHWH be judge, and judge between me and between you, and may He see and plead my case and deliver me out of your hand.”
1 Samuel 24:16	And it came to pass, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.
1 Samuel 24:17	And he said to David, “You [are] more righteous than I, for you have done me the good, and I have done you the evil.
1 Samuel 24:18	And you have shown today how you have done good with me; that YHWH delivered me into your hand, and you did not kill me.
1 Samuel 24:19	When a man finds his enemy, does he send him away in a good manner? And YHWH repays you with good for what you have done to me this day.
1 Samuel 24:20	And behold, I know that you shall surely reign, and the kingdom of Israel shall stand in your hand.
1 Samuel 24:21	And now, swear to me by YHWH that you will not cut off my seed after me or destroy my name from the house of my father.”
1 Samuel 24:22	And David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his house; and David and his men went up to the stronghold.
1 Samuel 25:1	And Samuel died, and all Israel gathered together and lamented for him, and they buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the Wilderness of Paran.
1 Samuel 25:2	And [there was] a man in Maon, and his work [was] in Carmel. And the man [was] very rich, and He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
1 Samuel 25:3	And the name of the man [was] Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And [she was] a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance, and the man [was] harsh and evil in [his] deeds; and he [was] a Calebite.
1 Samuel 25:4	And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
1 Samuel 25:5	And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask of his welfare in my name.
1 Samuel 25:6	And you⁺ shall say thus: ‘To life! And [to] you peace, and to your house peace, and to all that [is] unto you, peace!
1 Samuel 25:7	And I have heard that shearers [are] unto you. Now the shepherds that [are] unto you were with us. We did not hurt them, nor was there missing anything from them all the days they were in Carmel.
1 Samuel 25:8	Ask your young men, and they will tell you. And let [my] young men find favor in your eyes, for on a good day we come. Give, please, whatever your hand finds to your servants, and to your son David.’”
1 Samuel 25:9	And the young men of David came, and they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and they rested.
1 Samuel 25:10	And Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, “Who [is] David? And who [is] the son of Jesse? Today there are many servants who break away, a man from the face of his master.
1 Samuel 25:11	And shall I take my bread and my water and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men whom I do not know where they [are] from?”
1 Samuel 25:12	And the young men of David turned to their way, and went back, and they came and declared to him according to all these words.
1 Samuel 25:13	And David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” And every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And went with David about four hundred men, and two hundred stayed with the vessels.
1 Samuel 25:14	And to Abigail wife of Nabal a young man, one of the young men, declared, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he reviled them.
1 Samuel 25:15	And the men [were] very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything all the days we accompanied them when we were in the fields.
1 Samuel 25:16	They were a wall for us, both by night and by day, all the days we were with them pasturing the sheep.
1 Samuel 25:17	And now know and consider what you will do. For harm is determined against our master and against all his house. And he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to speak to him.”
1 Samuel 25:18	And Abigail hurried, and took two hundred [loaves] of bread, and two skins of wine, and five sheep already dressed, and five seahs of roasted grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and she put them on the donkeys.
1 Samuel 25:19	And she said to her servants, “Go on before me. Behold, after you⁺ I am coming.” And her husband Nabal she did not tell.
1 Samuel 25:20	And it came to pass [as] she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the mountain, and behold, David and his men were coming down toward her, and she met them.
1 Samuel 25:21	And David had said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that was unto this one in the wilderness, and not anything was missed of all that [was] unto him. And he has repaid me evil for good.
1 Samuel 25:22	And may God do to David, and thus may he add, if I leave of all who [are] unto him by the morning light one who urinates against the wall.”
1 Samuel 25:23	And Abigail saw David, and she hurried and dismounted from the donkey, and she fell before the face of David on her face and she bowed herself to the earth,
1 Samuel 25:24	and she fell at his feet and said, “On me, my lord, let this iniquity [be]. And please let your maidservant speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant.
1 Samuel 25:25	Let not, please, my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, upon Nabal; for as his name [is], so [is] he. Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him. And I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.
1 Samuel 25:26	And now my lord, [as] YHWH lives, and [as] your soul lives, since YHWH has held you back from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, let now your enemies be as Nabal and those seeking harm against my lord.
1 Samuel 25:27	And this blessing that your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow at the feet of my lord.
1 Samuel 25:28	Forgive, please, the trespass of your maidservant, for YHWH will surely make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord fights the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you throughout your days.
1 Samuel 25:29	And a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life, and the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with YHWH your God. And the souls of your enemies He shall sling out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.
1 Samuel 25:30	And it shall come to pass, when YHWH has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,
1 Samuel 25:31	that this to you will not be grief and offense of heart—to my lord—that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself, and YHWH shall have dealt well with my lord, and remember your maidservant.”
1 Samuel 25:32	And David said to Abigail, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me.
1 Samuel 25:33	And blessed [is] your discernment, and blessed [are] you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand.
1 Samuel 25:34	Yet [as] lives YHWH, God of Israel, who has kept me back from hurting you, surely unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely would not have been left to Nabal by the morning light one who urinates against the wall.”
1 Samuel 25:35	And David received from her hand what she had brought to him, and he said to her, “Go up in peace to your house. Behold, I have listened to your voice and I have lifted up your face.”
1 Samuel 25:36	And Abigail went to Nabal, and there he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And the heart of Nabal [was] glad within him, and he [was] very drunk; therefore she told him not a thing small to great until the morning light.
1 Samuel 25:37	And it was in the morning, when the wine had gone from Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him and he became a stone.
1 Samuel 25:38	And it was [in] about ten days that YHWH struck Nabal, and he died.
1 Samuel 25:39	And David heard that Nabal was dead, and he said, “Blessed [be] YHWH, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil. For the wickedness of Nabal YHWH has returned on his own head.” And David sent and spoke with Abigail to take her to him as wife.
1 Samuel 25:40	And the servants of David had come to Abigail at Carmel, and they spoke to her, saying, “David sent us to you to take you to him as wife.”
1 Samuel 25:41	And she arose and bowed her face to the earth, and said, “Here is your maidservant, a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
1 Samuel 25:42	And Abigail hurried and rose, and rode on a donkey, and five of her maidens were going at her feet, and she followed after the messengers of David and became his wife.
1 Samuel 25:43	And also Ahinoam David took from Jezreel, and became even both unto him for wives.
1 Samuel 25:44	And Saul had given Michal his daughter, wife of David, to Palti son of Laish, who [was] from Gallim.
1 Samuel 26:1	And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, upon the face of Jeshimon?”
1 Samuel 26:2	And Saul arose and went down to the Wilderness of Ziph, and with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to seek David in the Wilderness of Ziph.
1 Samuel 26:3	And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachilah, which [is] upon the face of Jeshimon, by the road. And David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul was coming after him into the wilderness.
1 Samuel 26:4	And David sent out spies, and he knew that Saul had come to Nachon.
1 Samuel 26:5	And David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped there. And David saw the place where Saul lay there, and Abner son of Ner, the commander of his army. And Saul lay within the camp, and the people encamped all around him.
1 Samuel 26:6	And David answered and spoke to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”
1 Samuel 26:7	And David and Abishai came to the people by night, and there Saul lay sleeping within the camp, and his spear was pressed into the ground by his head. And Abner and the people lay all around him.
1 Samuel 26:8	And Abishai said to David, “God has delivered this day your enemy into your hand. And now let me strike him, please, with the spear and into the earth with one stroke; and I will not need repeat [it] to him.”
1 Samuel 26:9	And David said to Abishai, “Do not destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the anointed of YHWH and be guiltless?”
1 Samuel 26:10	And David said, “[As] YHWH lives, if rather YHWH shall strike him, or his day shall come and he will die, or he shall go out to the battle and perish.
1 Samuel 26:11	Far be it from me by YHWH to stretch out my hand against the anointed of YHWH. And take, please, the spear that [is] by his head, and the jug of water, and let us go.”
1 Samuel 26:12	And David took the spear and the jug of water [by] the head of Saul, and they went away to them, and no one saw [it], and no one knew [it], and no one awoke, for they [were] all asleep, because a deep sleep [from] YHWH had fallen on them.
1 Samuel 26:13	And David went over to the other side and stood on the top of the hill afar off, a great distance between them.
1 Samuel 26:14	And David called out to the people and to Abner son of Ner, saying, “Do you not answer, Abner?” And Abner answered and said, “Who [are] you calling out to the king?”
1 Samuel 26:15	And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who [is] like you in Israel? And why have you not watched over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
1 Samuel 26:16	This thing that you have done [is] not good. [As] YHWH lives, surely you⁺ deserve to die, because you⁺ have not watched over your⁺ master, over the anointed of YHWH. And now see, where [is] the spear of the king and the jug of water that [was] by his head?”
1 Samuel 26:17	And Saul knew the voice of David, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” And David said, “[It is] my voice, my lord, the king.”
1 Samuel 26:18	And he said, “Why [is] this [that] my lord pursues after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil [is] in my hand?
1 Samuel 26:19	And now, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If YHWH has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if [it is] the sons of man, may they be cursed before the face of YHWH. For they have driven me out this day from sharing in the inheritance of YHWH, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’
1 Samuel 26:20	And now, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of YHWH; for the king of Israel has come out to seek one flea, as one pursues the partridge in the mountains.”
1 Samuel 26:21	And Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will harm you no more, upon that my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly and erred exceedingly greatly.”
1 Samuel 26:22	And David answered and said, “Here is the spear of the king! And let one of the young men come over and get it.
1 Samuel 26:23	And may YHWH repay every man [for] his righteousness and his faithfulness. For YHWH delivered you today into [my] hand, and I would not stretch out my hand against the anointed of YHWH.
1 Samuel 26:24	And behold, as your life was valued much this day in my eyes, so let my life be valued much in the eyes of YHWH, and let Him deliver me out of all tribulation.”
1 Samuel 26:25	And Saul said to David, “Blessed be you, my son David; also you will accomplish great things, and you will surely prevail.” And David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
1 Samuel 27:1	And David said in his heart, “Now I will be swept away one day by the hand of Saul. [There is] nothing for me better than that I diligently escape to the land of the Philistines. And Saul will despair of me to seek me anymore in all the border of Israel, and I shall escape out of his hand.”
1 Samuel 27:2	And David arose and passed over—he and the six hundred men who [were] with him—to Achish son of Maoch king of Gath.
1 Samuel 27:3	And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man and his household, [and] David and his two wives—Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelitess.
1 Samuel 27:4	And it was declared to Saul that David had fled to Gath. And he sought him no more.
1 Samuel 27:5	And David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, let them give to me a place in one of the cities of the field, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?”
1 Samuel 27:6	And Achish gave to him that day Ziklag. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
1 Samuel 27:7	And the number of the days that David dwelt in the field of the Philistines was a year and four months.
1 Samuel 27:8	And David and his men went up and raided against the Geshurite, and the Girzite, and the Amalekite (for those [were] those dwelling in the land from of old) in your going to Shur, and as far as the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel 27:9	And whenever David struck the land, he left alive not a man or a woman, and he took the sheep, and the oxen, and the donkeys, and the camels, and the apparel. And he returned and came to Achish.
1 Samuel 27:10	And Achish would say, “Where have you⁺ made a raid today?” And David would say, “Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelite, and against the south of the Kenite.”
1 Samuel 27:11	And man and woman David would not save alive to be brought to Gath, saying, “Lest they declare [it] against [us], saying, ‘Thus David did.’” And thus was his custom all the days that he dwelt in the field of the Philistines.
1 Samuel 27:12	And Achish believed David, saying, “He has made himself an utter stench among his people Israel, and he will be my servant forever.”
1 Samuel 28:1	And it came to pass in those days that the Philistines gathered together their armies for the war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, “You shall surely know that with me you will go out into the camp, you and your men.”
1 Samuel 28:2	And David said to Achish, “Surely you know what your servant can do.” And Achish said to David, “Therefore I am appointing you the keeper of my head all the days.”
1 Samuel 28:3	And Samuel had died, and all Israel had lamented for him and buried him in Ramah, even in his city. And Saul had put the mediums and the spiritists out of the land.
1 Samuel 28:4	And the Philistines gathered together, and they came and encamped at Shunem. And Saul gathered together all Israel, and they encamped at Gilboa.
1 Samuel 28:5	And Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, and he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.
1 Samuel 28:6	And Saul inquired of YHWH, and YHWH did not answer him either by dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.
1 Samuel 28:7	And Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “Behold, a woman of a mistress a familiar spirit [is] at Endor.”
1 Samuel 28:8	And Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please divine for me the familiar spirit, and bring up for me whom I say to you.”
1 Samuel 28:9	And the woman said to him, “Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the spiritists from the land. And why do you lay a snare for my life to cause me to die?”
1 Samuel 28:10	And Saul swore to her by YHWH, saying, “[As] YHWH lives, punishment shall not come upon you for this thing.”
1 Samuel 28:11	And the woman said, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” And he said, “Bring up Samuel for me.”
1 Samuel 28:12	And the woman saw Samuel, and she cried out in a loud voice, and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, “Why have you deceived me? For you [are] Saul.”
1 Samuel 28:13	And the king said to her, “Do not be afraid, for what did you see?” And the woman said to Saul, “I have seen a god ascending out of the earth.”
1 Samuel 28:14	And he said to her, “What [is] his form?” And she said, “An old man is coming up, and he [is] covered with a mantle.” And Saul perceived that it [was] Samuel, and he stooped with [his] face to the ground, and bowed down.
1 Samuel 28:15	And Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” And Saul answered, deeply “I am distressed, for the Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by the prophets nor by dreams. And I have called to you, that you may reveal to me what I should do.”
1 Samuel 28:16	And Samuel said, “And why do you ask me, since YHWH has turned aside from you and has become your enemy?
1 Samuel 28:17	And YHWH has done for Himself as He spoke by me, for YHWH has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor—to David.
1 Samuel 28:18	Because you did not obey the voice of YHWH nor kill His fierce wrath upon Amalek, upon thus this thing YHWH has done to you this day.
1 Samuel 28:19	And YHWH will deliver also Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons [will be] with me. And YHWH will deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.”
1 Samuel 28:20	And Saul hurried and fell—the fullness of his stature—to the earth, and he was afraid dreadfully because of the words of Samuel. And there was no power in him, for he had eaten no food all the day or all the night.
1 Samuel 28:21	And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was troubled severely, and she said to him, “Behold, your maidservant has obeyed your voice, and I have put my life in my palm and heeded the words that you spoke to me.
1 Samuel 28:22	And now listen, please, you also, to the voice of your maidservant, and let me set before you a piece of bread, and eat, that there may be to you power when you go in the way.”
1 Samuel 28:23	And he refused and said, “I will not eat.” And his servants urged him, and also the woman, and he listened to their voice. And he arose from the ground and sat on the bed.
1 Samuel 28:24	And to the woman was a calf of the stall in the house, and she hurried and slaughtered it, and she took flour and kneaded [it] and baked it as unleavened [bread].
1 Samuel 28:25	And she brought [it] before the face of Saul and his servants, and they ate. And they rose and went away that night.
1 Samuel 29:1	And the Philistines gathered together all their camps to Aphek, and Israel encamped by the fountain that is in Jezreel.
1 Samuel 29:2	And the princes of the Philistines were passing over by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were passing over at the rear with Achish.
1 Samuel 29:3	And the princes of the Philistines said, “What [are] these Hebrews?” And Achish said to the princes of the Philistines, “Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days, even these years? And I have not found in him anything from the day of his falling up to this day.”
1 Samuel 29:4	And the princes of the Philistines were angry with him. And the princes of the Philistines said to him, “Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place that you assigned him there, and do not let him go down with us to the battle, that he become not our adversary in the battle. For by what shall this one make himself acceptable to his master, if not by the heads of those men?
1 Samuel 29:5	Is not this David, whom they sang of him in the dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his myriads’?”
1 Samuel 29:6	and Achish called to David and said to him, “[As] YHWH lives, surely you have been upright, and good in my eyes is your going out and your coming in with me in the camp. For I have not found in you evil since the day of your coming to me until this day. And in the eyes of the princes [is] no favor of you.
1 Samuel 29:7	And now, return and go in peace, that you do not do evil in the eyes of the princes of the Philistines.”
1 Samuel 29:8	And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
1 Samuel 29:9	And Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you [are] as pleasing in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’
1 Samuel 29:10	And now rise early in the morning with the servants of your master who have come with you, and when you⁺ have risen early in the morning, and have light for it, then depart.”
1 Samuel 29:11	And David rose early, he and his men, to depart in the morning to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
1 Samuel 30:1	And it came to pass, when David and his men came into Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekite had invaded against the Negev and against Ziklag, and they had struck Ziklag, and burned it with the fire,
1 Samuel 30:2	and they took captive the women [and all] those who [were] in it, from small and to great. They did not kill anyone, and they carried [them] off and went on their way.
1 Samuel 30:3	And David and his men came to the city, and behold, it was burned with the fire, and their wives and their sons and their daughters had been taken captive.
1 Samuel 30:4	And David and the people who [were] with him lifted up their voices and wept, until that [there was] not in them power to weep.
1 Samuel 30:5	And the two wives of David had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.
1 Samuel 30:6	And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. And David strengthened himself in YHWH his God.
1 Samuel 30:7	And David said to Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, “Please bring here to me the ephod.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
1 Samuel 30:8	And David inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I pursue after this troop? Will I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake [them] and you shall surely deliver.”
1 Samuel 30:9	And David went, he and six hundred men who [were] with him, and they came to the Brook of Besor, and those left behind stood still.
1 Samuel 30:10	And David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred men stayed [behind] who were so weary that they could not cross the Brook of Besor.
1 Samuel 30:11	And they found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David, and they gave to him bread, and he ate, and they let him drink water.
1 Samuel 30:12	And they gave to him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. And he ate and his strength came back to him, for he had not eaten bread nor drunk water [for] three days and three nights.
1 Samuel 30:13	And David said to him, “To whom [are] you, and where [are] you from?” And he said, “An Egyptian, a young man, I [am] servant of an Amalekite. And my master left me behind because I fell sick three days ago.
1 Samuel 30:14	We made an invasion [to] the south of the Cherethite and against that which [is] unto Judah, and against the south of Caleb, and Ziklag we burned with the fire.”
1 Samuel 30:15	And David said to him, “Can you take me down to this troop?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will take you down to this troop.”
1 Samuel 30:16	And he brought him down, and behold, they were spread out over the face of all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great plunder that they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
1 Samuel 30:17	And David attacked them from twilight and until the evening of the next day, and not a man escaped of them, but rather four hundred young men who rode on the camels and fled.
1 Samuel 30:18	And David snatched away all that the Amalekite had carried away, and his two wives David snatched away.
1 Samuel 30:19	And nothing was lacking of theirs either small and to great, and sons and daughters, and from plunder, and to all that they had taken from them. David brought back everything.
1 Samuel 30:20	And David took all of the flock and of the herd they had driven before the face of these livestock, and they said, “This is the plunder of David.”
1 Samuel 30:21	And David came to the two hundred men who had been so weary that they could not follow behind David, and whom they had made to stay at the Brook of Besor, and they went out to meet David and to meet the people who [were] with him. And David came near the people, and he asked them of welfare.
1 Samuel 30:22	And all the wicked and worthless of those men who went with David answered and said, “Because that they did not go with us, we will not give to them from the plunder that we have snatched away. But rather for every man, his wife and his sons, that they may lead [them] away and depart.”
1 Samuel 30:23	And David said, “You⁺ shall not do so, my brothers, with what YHWH has given to us, who has preserved us and delivered the troop that came against us into our hands.
1 Samuel 30:24	For who will listen to you⁺ in this matter? But as is the portion of the one having gone down to the battle, so shall be the portion of the one having stayed with the supplies. They shall take portions together.”
1 Samuel 30:25	And it came to pass from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
1 Samuel 30:26	And David came to Ziklag, and he sent [some] from the plunder to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “Behold, for you⁺ a present from the plunder of the enemies of YHWH.”—
1 Samuel 30:27	To those in Bethel, and to those in Ramoth of the Negev, and to those in Jattir,
1 Samuel 30:28	and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,
1 Samuel 30:29	and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelite, and to those in the cities of the Kenite,
1 Samuel 30:30	and to those in Hormah, and to those in Bor-ashan, and to those in Athach,
1 Samuel 30:31	and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David had gone up and down there—he and his men.
1 Samuel 31:1	And the Philistines fought against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel 31:2	And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons, and the Philistines killed Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchishua, the sons of Saul.
1 Samuel 31:3	And the battle became fierce against Saul, and the archers found him—men with the bow—and he was wounded severely by the archers.
1 Samuel 31:4	And Saul said to the bearer of his armor, “Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised ones come and thrust me through and torture me.” And the bearer of his armor was not willing, for he was greatly afraid. And Saul took a sword and fell on it.
1 Samuel 31:5	And the bearer of his armor saw that Saul was dead, and he fell he also on his sword, and he died with him.
1 Samuel 31:6	And Saul died, and his three sons, and the bearer of his armor, and all his men, that day together.
1 Samuel 31:7	And they saw—the men of Israel who [were] on the other side of the valley, and who [were] beyond the Jordan—that the men of Israel had fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead. And they forsook the cities and fled. And the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
1 Samuel 31:8	And it came to pass the next day that the Philistines came to strip the slain, and they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel 31:9	And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and they sent into the land of the Philistines all around, to proclaim [it] [in] the temple of their idols and among the people.
1 Samuel 31:10	And they put his armor in the temple of the Ashtoreths, and his body they fastened to the wall of Beth-shan.
1 Samuel 31:11	And those dwelling in Jabesh-gilead heard about what the Philistines had done to Saul,
1 Samuel 31:12	and all the valiant men arose and traveled all the night, and they took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. And they came to Jabesh and burned them there.
1 Samuel 31:13	And they took their bones and buried [them] under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and they fasted seven days.
2 Samuel 1:1	And it came to pass after the death of Saul that David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekite. And David stayed in Ziklag two days.
2 Samuel 1:2	And it came to pass on the third day that behold, a man came from the camp of Saul with his clothes torn and dust on his head. And it came to pass, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and bowed low.
2 Samuel 1:3	And David said to him, “From where have you come?” And he said to him, “I have escaped from the camp of Israel.”
2 Samuel 1:4	And David said to him, “What is the report? Please tell me.” And he answered, “That people have fled from the battle, and many are fallen of the people and died. And also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.”
2 Samuel 1:5	And David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
2 Samuel 1:6	And the young man who told him said, “I happened to meet on Mount Gilboa, and there was Saul leaning on his spear. And behold, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
2 Samuel 1:7	And he looked behind him, and he saw me and called to me, and I answered, ‘Behold.’
2 Samuel 1:8	And he said to me, ‘Who [are] you?’ And I said to him, ‘I [am] an Amalekite.’
2 Samuel 1:9	And he said to me, ‘Stand, please, over me and kill me, for the anguish has seized me, but all my life [is] in me still.’
2 Samuel 1:10	And I stood over him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the diadem that [was] on his head and the bracelet that [was] on his arm, and have brought them to my lord here.”
2 Samuel 1:11	And David took hold on his garments and tore them, and also all the men who [were] with him.
2 Samuel 1:12	And they mourned and wept and fasted until the evening for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
2 Samuel 1:13	And David said to the young man who told him, “From where [are] you?” And he answered, “I [am] a son of a sojourning man, an Amalekite.”
2 Samuel 1:14	And David said to him, “How were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
2 Samuel 1:15	And David called one of the young men and said, “Go near [and] fall upon him.” And he struck him, and he died.
2 Samuel 1:16	And David said to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head. For your own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have killed the anointed of YHWH.’”
2 Samuel 1:17	And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,
2 Samuel 1:18	and he told [them] to teach the sons of Judah “The bow.” Behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar:
2 Samuel 1:19	“The beauty, O Israel, on your high places is slain. How the mighty have fallen!
2 Samuel 1:20	Declare [it] not in Gath, proclaim [it] not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2 Samuel 1:21	O Mountains of Gilboa, no dew nor rain [be] upon you⁺, nor fields of contributions. For there is cast away the shield of the mighty, the shield of Saul, not anointed with the oil.
2 Samuel 1:22	From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan did not turn back, and the sword of Saul did not return empty.
2 Samuel 1:23	Saul and Jonathan [were] beloved and delightful in their lives, and in their death they were not divided. Than eagles they were swifter, than lions they were stronger.
2 Samuel 1:24	O Daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you⁺ in scarlet with luxury, who put ornaments of gold on your⁺ apparel.
2 Samuel 1:25	How the mighty have fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] slain on your high places.
2 Samuel 1:26	I Am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me; your love was wonderful to me, surpassing the love of women.
2 Samuel 1:27	How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
2 Samuel 2:1	And it came to pass after this that David inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I go up to one of the cities of Judah?” And YHWH said to him, “Go up.” And David said, “Where shall I go up?” And He said, “To Hebron.”
2 Samuel 2:2	And David went up there, and also his two wives Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.
2 Samuel 2:3	And the men who [were] with him David brought up, every man and his household, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
2 Samuel 2:4	And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, “The men of Jabesh-gilead [are] they who buried Saul.”
2 Samuel 2:5	And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, “You⁺ [are] blessed of YHWH, for you⁺ have shown this kindness to your⁺ lord, to Saul, and have buried him.
2 Samuel 2:6	And may YHWH show to you⁺ loving devotion and truth, and also I will repay you⁺ this kindness, because you⁺ have done this thing.
2 Samuel 2:7	And now let your⁺ hands be strengthened and become sons of valor, for your⁺ master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them.”
2 Samuel 2:8	And Abner son of Ner, commander of the army that [was] unto Saul, had taken Ish-bosheth son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
2 Samuel 2:9	And he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
2 Samuel 2:10	Ish-bosheth son of Saul [was] a son of forty years when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah was behind David.
2 Samuel 2:11	And the number of the days that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
2 Samuel 2:12	And Abner son of Ner went out, and the servants of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:13	And Joab son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon together, and they sat down, these of the pool on this side, and these of the pool on this side.
2 Samuel 2:14	And Abner said to Joab, “Let the young men arise now and compete before us.” And Joab said, “Let them arise.”
2 Samuel 2:15	And they arose and went over, by number twelve from Benjamin and of Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.
2 Samuel 2:16	And each one grasped by the head his opponent, and [thrust] his sword in the side of his opponent, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:17	And the battle was even very fierce that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were struck before the face of the servants of David.
2 Samuel 2:18	And were there three the sons of Zeruiah, Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel [was as] fleet of foot as one of the gazelles that [are] in the field.
2 Samuel 2:19	And Asahel pursued after Abner, and he did not stretch in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
2 Samuel 2:20	And Abner looked behind him and said, “[Is] this you, Asahel?” And He answered, “It is I.”
2 Samuel 2:21	And Abner said to him, “Stretch aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take for yourself his armor.” And Asahel would not turn aside from after him.
2 Samuel 2:22	And Abner added again in saying to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? And how could I lift up my face unto Joab your brother?”
2 Samuel 2:23	And he refused to turn aside. And Abner struck him with the back of the spear in the stomach, and the spear came out of his back, and he fell down there and died under him. And it came to pass [that] all who came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, they stood still.
2 Samuel 2:24	And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner, and the sun was going down, and they came to the hill of Ammah which [is] upon the face of Giah by the way of the Wilderness of Gibeon.
2 Samuel 2:25	And the sons of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner, and they became one unit and took their stand on top of a certain hill.
2 Samuel 2:26	And Abner called to Joab and said, “Shall the sword forever devour? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the end? And until when will you not say to the people to turn from after their brothers?”
2 Samuel 2:27	And Joab said, “God lives, for unless you had spoken, surely then by the morning all the people would have pulled back from after their brothers.”
2 Samuel 2:28	And Joab blew on the shofar, and all the people stood still and pursued no more after Israel, and they did not continue anymore to fight.
2 Samuel 2:29	And Abner and his men went on through the Arabah all that night, and they passed over the Jordan and marched all morning, and they entered Mahanaim.
2 Samuel 2:30	And Joab returned from pursuing Abner, and he gathered together all the people. And there were missing from the servants of David nineteen men, and Asah-el.
2 Samuel 2:31	And the servants of David had struck down from Benjamin, even from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
2 Samuel 2:32	And they took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father that [was] in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men marched all night, and at daybreak they came to Hebron.
2 Samuel 3:1	And there was a long war between the house of Saul and between the house of David. And David was going on and [was] strong, and the house of Saul was going on and [was] weak.
2 Samuel 3:2	And Sons were born to David in Hebron: And his firstborn was Amnon by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2 Samuel 3:3	and his second Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2 Samuel 3:4	and the fourth, Adonijah son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah son of Abital;
2 Samuel 3:5	and the sixth, Ithream by Eglah wife of David. These were born to David in Hebron.
2 Samuel 3:6	And it surely came to pass in the war between the house of Saul and between the house of David, that Abner had been strengthening himself in the house of Saul.
2 Samuel 3:7	And Saul had a concubine, and her name [was] Rizpah the daughter of Aiah. And he said to Abner, “Why have you gone in to the concubine of my father?”
2 Samuel 3:8	And Abner became very hot at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, “Is [it that] the head of a dog I [am] that [is] unto Judah? This day I am doing kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and I have not delivered you into the hand of David—and you charge me with iniquity concerning the woman today?
2 Samuel 3:9	Thus may God do to Abner, and also more to him, if as YHWH has sworn for David, even so I do not do to him,
2 Samuel 3:10	to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.”
2 Samuel 3:11	And he could not anymore answer to Abner a word, because he feared him.
2 Samuel 3:12	And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, “To whom [is] the land?” [And] saying, “Make your covenant with me, and indeed my hand [is] with you to make turn to you all Israel.”
2 Samuel 3:13	And he said, “Good, I will cut with you a covenant. But one thing I am asking of you, saying, you shall not see my face, except if to my face you bring Michal daughter of Saul when you come to see my face.”
2 Samuel 3:14	And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, saying, “Give to me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.”
2 Samuel 3:15	[And] Ish-bosheth sent and took her from [her] husband, from Paltiel son of Laish.
2 Samuel 3:16	And her husband went along with her, weeping behind her to Bahurim. And Abner said to him, “Go, turn back.” And he turned back.
2 Samuel 3:17	And the word of Abner was with the elders of Israel, saying, “Even before also heretofore you⁺ were seeking David for king over you⁺.
2 Samuel 3:18	And now do [it], for YHWH has spoken of David, saying, ‘By the hand of David My servant I will save My people Israel from the hand of the Philistines and from the hand of all their enemies.’”
2 Samuel 3:19	And Abner spoke also in the ears of Benjamin. And Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of all the house of Benjamin.
2 Samuel 3:20	And Abner came to David at Hebron, and with him twenty men, and David made a feast for Abner and the men who [were] with him.
2 Samuel 3:21	And Abner said to David, “I will arise and go and gather to my lord the king all Israel, that they may cut with you a covenant, that you may reign over all that Your heart desires.” And David sent away Abner, and he went in peace.
2 Samuel 3:22	And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from the troop, and much spoil they brought with them. And Abner [was] not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.
2 Samuel 3:23	And Joab and all the troops that [were] with him had come, and they told Joab, saying, “Abner son of Ner came to the king, and he sent him away, and he has gone in peace.”
2 Samuel 3:24	And Joab came to the king and said, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you! Why [is] this [that] you sent him away, and he is long gone?
2 Samuel 3:25	You have known Abner son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.”
2 Samuel 3:26	And Joab had gone from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; and David did not know [it].
2 Samuel 3:27	And Abner had returned to Hebron, and Joab took him to the midst of the gate to speak with him privately, and he struck him there in the stomach, and he died on account of the blood of Asah-el his brother.
2 Samuel 3:28	And David heard [it] after thus, and he said, “I and My kingdom [are] guiltless before YHWH, even to forever, of the blood of Abner son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3:29	Let it rest on the head of Joab and on all the house of his father, and never let there fail to be in the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or falls by the sword, or is lacking bread.”
2 Samuel 3:30	(And Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, upon that he had killed Asahel their brother at Gibeon in the battle.)
2 Samuel 3:31	And David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your⁺ clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before the face of Abner.” And King David followed after the bier.
2 Samuel 3:32	And they buried Abner in Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner. And all the people wept.
2 Samuel 3:33	And the king lamented over Abner and said, “As the death of a fool should Abner die?
2 Samuel 3:34	Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put into fetters. As a man falls before the face of wicked men, you fell.” And all the people again wept over him.
2 Samuel 3:35	And all the people came to persuade David to eat food while it was still the day, and David took an oath, saying, “So do to me God, and thus may he continue for, if before the face of the sun goes down, I taste bread or any other thing.”
2 Samuel 3:36	And all the people took note, and it pleased them, since whatever the king did was good in the eyes of all the people.
2 Samuel 3:37	For all the people and all Israel understood that on that day it was not from the king to kill Abner son of Ner.
2 Samuel 3:38	And the king said to his servants, “Do you⁺ not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
2 Samuel 3:39	And I [am] weak today, and though anointed king, these men, the sons of Zeruiah, [are] too harsh for me; YHWH shall repay the evildoer according to his wickedness.”
2 Samuel 4:1	And the son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, and his hands failed, and all Israel was troubled.
2 Samuel 4:2	And two men, captains of troops, were [unto] the son of Saul. The name of one [was] Baanah, and the name of the second Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the sons of Benjamin. For also Beeroth was reckoned to Benjamin,
2 Samuel 4:3	and the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and they have been there sojourning until this day.
2 Samuel 4:4	And Jonathan son of Saul had a son lame in the feet. He was a son of five years at the coming in of the report of Saul and Jonathan from Jezreel. And his nurse took him up and fled. And it came to pass, as she hurried to flee, that he fell and became lame; and His name [was] Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel 4:5	And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, set out and came in at the heat of the day to the house of Ish-bosheth, and he was lying the lying down of noon.

2 Samuel 4:8	And they brought the head of Ish-bosheth to David at Hebron, and they said to the king, “Here is the head of Ish-bosheth son of Saul your enemy, who sought your life. And YHWH has given my lord the king vengeance this day of Saul and of his seed.”
2 Samuel 4:9	And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and he said to them, “[As] YHWH lives, who has redeemed my life from all distress,
2 Samuel 4:10	when it was declared to me, saying, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and he was as a bearer of tidings in his own eyes, I arrested him and I killed him at Ziklag, which [was] instead of my giving to him for [his] news;
2 Samuel 4:11	how much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed, shall I not now seek his blood from your⁺ hands and remove you⁺ from the earth?”
2 Samuel 4:12	And David commanded the young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged [them] by the pool in Hebron. And the head of Ish-bosheth they took and buried [it] in the tomb of Abner in Hebron.
2 Samuel 5:1	And all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and they spoke, saying, “Indeed we [are] your bone and your flesh.
2 Samuel 5:2	Also formerly, even heretofore, when Saul was king over us, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. And YHWH said to you, ‘You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be ruler over Israel.’”
2 Samuel 5:3	And all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron. And King David cut with them a covenant at Hebron before the face of YHWH, and they anointed David king over Israel.
2 Samuel 5:4	David [was] a son of thirty years when he began to reign; forty years he reigned.
2 Samuel 5:5	In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel 5:6	And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusite, the dweller of the land, and he spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here, for but the blind and the lame will repel you.” They said, “David cannot come in here.”
2 Samuel 5:7	And David took the stronghold of Zion (that [is], the City of David).
2 Samuel 5:8	and David said on that day, “Whoever strikes the Jebusite, let him go up by the water shaft (and the lame and the blind [who are] hated by the soul of David).” And upon thus they say, “The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.”
2 Samuel 5:9	And David dwelt in the stronghold, and he called it the City of David. And David built all around from the Millo and inward.
2 Samuel 5:10	And David went on, going on and becoming great, and YHWH, God of Hosts, [was] with him.
2 Samuel 5:11	And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and artificers of stone for walls, and they built a house for David.
2 Samuel 5:12	And David knew that YHWH had established him as king over Israel, and that He had lifted up his kingdom for the sake of His people Israel.
2 Samuel 5:13	And David took more concubines and wives from Jerusalem after he had come from Hebron, and were born to David more sons and daughters.
2 Samuel 5:14	And these [are] the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
2 Samuel 5:15	and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
2 Samuel 5:16	and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
2 Samuel 5:17	And the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, and all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard and went down to the stronghold.
2 Samuel 5:18	And the Philistines went and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 5:19	And David inquired of YHWH, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You give them into my hand?” And YHWH said to David, “Go up, for I will surely give the Philistines into your hand.”
2 Samuel 5:20	And David went to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there, and he said, “YHWH has broken through my enemies before me like a breakthrough of waters.” Upon thus he called the name of that place Baal-perazim.
2 Samuel 5:21	And there they left their images, and David and his men carried them away.
2 Samuel 5:22	And the Philistines added again to come up and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel 5:23	And David inquired of YHWH, and He said, “You shall not go up. Circle around unto behind them and come upon them in front of the balsam trees.
2 Samuel 5:24	And it shall come to pass when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then YHWH will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”
2 Samuel 5:25	And David did so, as YHWH had commanded him, and he drove back the Philistines from Gibeon as far as your coming to Gazer.
2 Samuel 6:1	And David gathered again every chosen one of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Samuel 6:2	And David arose and went, and all the people who [were] with him, from Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of YHWH of Hosts who dwells between the cherubim on it.
2 Samuel 6:3	And they mounted the ark of God on a new cart, and they carried it out of the house of Abinadab that [was] on the hill, with Uzzah and Ahio the sons of Abinadab driving the new cart,
2 Samuel 6:4	bringing with it the ark of God, and Ahio went before the face of the ark.
2 Samuel 6:5	And David and all the house of Israel were playing before the face of YHWH on all kinds of wood instruments of cypress, and on harps, and on stringed instruments, and on tambourines, and on sistrums, and on cymbals.
2 Samuel 6:6	And they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, and Uzzah reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled.
2 Samuel 6:7	And the anger of YHWH was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him there for the error, and he died there by the ark of God.
2 Samuel 6:8	And David became hot upon that YHWH had burst forth a breach against Uzzah, and he called the name of that place Perez-uzzah to this day.
2 Samuel 6:9	And David was afraid of YHWH that day, and he said, “How can the ark of YHWH come to me?”
2 Samuel 6:10	And David would not turn aside to himself the ark of YHWH into the City of David, and David took it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
2 Samuel 6:11	And the ark of YHWH remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and YHWH blessed Obed-edom and all his house.
2 Samuel 6:12	And it was told to King David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that [is] unto him, because of the ark of God.” And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David with joy.
2 Samuel 6:13	And it came to pass, when those carrying the ark of YHWH had gone six paces, that he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
2 Samuel 6:14	And David danced with all [his] might before the face of YHWH, and David [was] wearing a linen ephod.
2 Samuel 6:15	And David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of YHWH with shouting and with the voice of the shofar.
2 Samuel 6:16	And as the ark of YHWH came into the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the face of YHWH, and she despised him in her heart.
2 Samuel 6:17	And they brought the ark of YHWH and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it, and David offered burnt offerings before the face of YHWH, and peace offerings.
2 Samuel 6:18	And David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, and he blessed the people in the name of YHWH of hosts.
2 Samuel 6:19	And he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, from the men and to the women, to everyone, one loaf of bread, and one date cake, and one cake of raisins. And all the people departed, each to his house.
2 Samuel 6:20	And David returned to bless his house. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How honored today was the king of Israel, who has uncovered himself today in the eyes of the maidservants of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered.”
2 Samuel 6:21	And David said to Michal, “[It was] before YHWH, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of YHWH, over Israel. And I will play before the face of YHWH.
2 Samuel 6:22	And I will be even more undignified than this, and I will be humble in my eyes, and as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be honored.”
2 Samuel 6:23	And to Michal the daughter of Saul there were, unto her no children until the day of her death.
2 Samuel 7:1	And it came to pass, when the king was dwelling in his house and YHWH had given rest to him all around from all his enemies,
2 Samuel 7:2	that the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God dwells in the midst of the curtain.”
2 Samuel 7:3	And Nathan said to the king, “All that [is] in your heart, go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
2 Samuel 7:4	And it came to pass in that night that the word of YHWH came to Nathan, saying,
2 Samuel 7:5	“Go and say unto My servant, to David, thus says YHWH: Would you build for Me a house to dwell in?
2 Samuel 7:6	For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt and to this day, and I have been moving about in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2 Samuel 7:7	In all that I have moved about with all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word to one of the rods of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have not you⁺ built for Me a house of cedar?’
2 Samuel 7:8	And now thus shall you say to My servant David, thus says YHWH of Hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.
2 Samuel 7:9	And I have been with you in every [place] that you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great men who [are] on the earth.
2 Samuel 7:10	And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and I will plant him, that he may dwell in in his place and not be disturbed anymore, and the sons of wickedness will not add to afflict him as at first.
2 Samuel 7:11	And since the time that I commanded judges over My people Israel, and have brought rest for you from all your enemies. And YHWH declares to you that YHWH will make for you a house.
2 Samuel 7:12	When your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you who will come from your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
2 Samuel 7:13	He will build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom even to forever.
2 Samuel 7:14	I will be his Father, and he will be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will churry him with the rod of men and with the blows of the sons of man,
2 Samuel 7:15	And My loving devotion shall not depart from him as I took [it] from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you.
2 Samuel 7:16	And your house and your kingdom will endure even to forever before My face. Your throne will be established even to forever.”
2 Samuel 7:17	According to all these words and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
2 Samuel 7:18	And King David went in and sat before the face of YHWH, and he said, “Who [am] I, O Lord YHWH, and who [is] my house, that You have brought me as far as here?
2 Samuel 7:19	And yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord YHWH, and You have spoken also of the house of Your servant afar off. And [is] this the manner of the man, O Lord YHWH?
2 Samuel 7:20	And what more can David say to You? For You know Your servant, O Lord YHWH.
2 Samuel 7:21	For the sake of Your word and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, to make [it] known to Your servant.
2 Samuel 7:22	Upon thus You are great, O Lord YHWH, for [there is] none like You and no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel 7:23	And who [is] like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make for Himself a name, and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations and their gods?
2 Samuel 7:24	For You have established for Yourself Your people Israel—Your very own people even to forever. And You, O YHWH, have become their God.
2 Samuel 7:25	And now, O YHWH God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish [it] even to forever, and do as You have said.
2 Samuel 7:26	And let Your name be magnified even to forever, saying, ‘YHWH of Hosts [is] the God over Israel.’ And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.
2 Samuel 7:27	For You, O YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered [this] to the ear of Your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ Upon thus Your servant has found it in his heart to pray to You this prayer.
2 Samuel 7:28	And now, O Lord YHWH, You are God, and Your words are true, and You have promised to Your servant this goodness.
2 Samuel 7:29	And now begin and bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord YHWH, have spoken [it], and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

2 Samuel 8:10	And Toi sent Joram his son to King David to ask him of welfare and to bless him, upon that he had fought against Hadadezer and defeated him. For Hadadezer had been a man of wars with Toi, and with him he brought articles of silver, and articles of gold, and articles of bronze.
2 Samuel 8:11	Also these King David dedicated to YHWH, along with the silver and the gold that he had dedicated from all the nations that he had subdued—

2 Samuel 9:2	And to the house of Saul [was] a servant, and his name [was] Ziba. And they called him to David, and the king said to him, “[Are] you Ziba?” And he said, “Your servant.”
2 Samuel 9:3	And the king said, “[Is] not still a man to the house of Saul, that I may show to him the kindness of God?” And Ziba said to the king, “Of Jonathan there is still a son, lame in [his] feet.”
2 Samuel 9:4	And the king said to him, “Where [is] he?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he [is] in the house of Machir son of Ammiel in Lo-debar.”

2 Samuel 9:9	And the king called to Ziba servant of Saul and said to him, “All that belonged to Saul and to all his house, I have given to the son of your master.
2 Samuel 9:10	And you will work the land for him—you and your sons and your servants, and you shall bring in, that the son of your master may have food to eat. And Mephibosheth son of your master shall always eat bread at my table.” And Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
2 Samuel 9:11	And Ziba said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king has commanded his servant, so your servant will do.” “And as for Mephibosheth, he shall eat at [David’s] table, like one of the sons of the king.”

2 Samuel 10:1	And it came to pass after this that the king of the sons of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.
2 Samuel 10:2	And David said, “I will do kindness to Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did kindness to me.” And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father. And the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon.
2 Samuel 10:3	And the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent to you comforters? Is [it] not for the purpose of searching out the city and to spy it out and to overthrow it [that] David has sent his servants to you?”

2 Samuel 10:12	Be strong and strengthen yourself for our people, and for the cities of our God. And YHWH does what is good in His eyes.”

2 Samuel 11:1	And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the time of the going out of the kings, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and laid siege against Rabbah. And David remained at Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 11:2	And it came to pass at the time of the evening, that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the house of the king. And he saw from the roof a woman bathing, and the woman [was] very beautiful of appearance.
2 Samuel 11:3	And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?”
2 Samuel 11:4	And David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (And she had cleansed herself from her uncleanness.) And she returned to her house.
2 Samuel 11:5	And the woman conceived. And she sent and told David and said, “I [am] pregnant.”
2 Samuel 11:6	And David sent to Joab: “Send to me Uriah the Hittite.” And Joab sent Uriah to David.

2 Samuel 11:8	And David said to Uriah, “Go down to your house and wash your feet.” And Uriah departed from the house of the king. And went out after him a gift from the king.
2 Samuel 11:9	And Uriah slept at the door of the house of the king with all the servants of his lord, and he did not go down to his house.
2 Samuel 11:10	And they declared to David, saying, “Uriah did not go down to his house.” And David said to Uriah, “Is [it] not [that] you have come from a journey? Why [did] not you go down to your house?”
2 Samuel 11:11	And Uriah said to David, “The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in tents, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped on the face of the field, and I shall go to my house to eat and drink and to lie with my wife? [As] you live, and [as] lives your soul, I will not do this thing.”
2 Samuel 11:12	And David said to Uriah, “Wait in this [place] also today, and tomorrow I will let you depart.” And Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next.
2 Samuel 11:13	And David called to him, and he ate before his face and drank, and he made him drunk. And he went out at the evening to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord; and to his house he did not go down.
2 Samuel 11:14	And it came to pass in the morning that David wrote a letter to Joab, and he sent it by the hand of Uriah.
2 Samuel 11:15	And he wrote in the letter, saying, “Set Uriah at the front of the strongest battle, and retreat from him, that he may be struck down and die.”
2 Samuel 11:16	And it came to pass, in Joab watching unto the city, that he assigned Uriah to a place where he knew that [were] valiant men there.
2 Samuel 11:17	And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and fell [some] of the people of the servants of David. And Uriah the Hittite also died.
2 Samuel 11:18	And Joab sent and told David all the matters of the war,
2 Samuel 11:19	and he commanded the messenger, saying, “When you have finished telling all the matters of the war to the king,
2 Samuel 11:20	and it comes to pass that if the wrath of the king rises and he says to you, ‘Why did you⁺ approach so near to the city when you fought? Did not you⁺ know that they would shoot from the wall?
2 Samuel 11:21	Who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? Was it not a woman who cast on him a piece of a millstone from the wall, so that he died in Thebez? Why did you⁺ go near the wall?’ Then you shall say, ‘Also your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.’”
2 Samuel 11:22	And the messenger went and came in and told David all that Joab had sent him.
2 Samuel 11:23	And the messenger said to David, “Indeed the men prevailed against us, and they came out against us to the field, and we were against them as far as the entrance of the gate.
2 Samuel 11:24	And those shooting shot at your servants from the wall, and [some] of the servants of the king are dead, and also your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead.”
2 Samuel 11:25	And David said to the messenger, “Thus you shall say to Joab, ‘Do not let this thing displease you, for as this and as this the sword devours. Strengthen your attack against the city and overthrow it.’ And encourage him.”
2 Samuel 11:26	And the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, and she mourned for her husband.
2 Samuel 11:27	And her mourning was over, and David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore to him a son. And the thing that David had done was evil in the eyes of YHWH.
2 Samuel 12:1	And YHWH sent Nathan to David, and he came to him and said to him, “There were two men in one city—one rich and one poor.
2 Samuel 12:2	The rich one had flocks and herds exceedingly many.
2 Samuel 12:3	And the poor one [had] not anything, but if one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and kept alive. And it grew up with him and with his children together. Of his own food it ate, and from his own cup it drank, and in his bosom it lay, and it was to him like a daughter.
2 Samuel 12:4	And a traveler came to the rich man, who refused to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him. And he took the ewe lamb of the poor man and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
2 Samuel 12:5	And the anger of David was kindled against the man greatly, and he said to Nathan, “[As] YHWH lives, surely shall die the man who has done this.
2 Samuel 12:6	And for the lamb he shall restore fourfold, on account that he did this thing, and because he pitied not.”
2 Samuel 12:7	And Nathan said to David, “You [are] the man. Thus says YHWH, God of Israel, ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I snatched you up from the hand of Saul.
2 Samuel 12:8	And I gave to you the house of your master and the wives of your master into your bosom, and I gave to you the house of Israel and Judah. And if [that was] too little, I would have given to you like them and like them.
2 Samuel 12:9	Why have you despised the commandment of YHWH to do evil in His sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and his wife you have taken [to be] your wife, and him have killed with the sword of the sons of Ammon.
2 Samuel 12:10	And now the sword shall not depart from your house even to forever, on account that you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’
2 Samuel 12:11	Thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I will raise up against you adversity from your own house, and I will take your wives before your eyes and give [them] to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the eyes of this sun.
2 Samuel 12:12	For you did [it] secretly, and I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
2 Samuel 12:13	And David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against YHWH.” And Nathan said to David, “Even YHWH has put away your sin; you shall not die.
2 Samuel 12:14	Nevertheless, because you have shown utter contempt for [the word] of YHWH by this deed, also the son born to you will surely die.”
2 Samuel 12:15	And Nathan departed to his house. And YHWH struck the child that the wife of Uriah had borne to David, and he became ill.
2 Samuel 12:16	And David pleaded with God for the child, and David kept a fast, and he came in and spent the night and laid down [in sackcloth] on the ground.
2 Samuel 12:17	And the elders of his house arose beside him to raise him up from the ground, and he would not, nor did he eat food with them.
2 Samuel 12:18	And it came to pass on the seventh day that the child died. And the servants of David were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Indeed, while the child was alive, we spoke to him and he did not listen to our voice. And how can we tell him the child is dead? He may do some harm.”
2 Samuel 12:19	And David saw that his servants were whispering, and David perceived that the child was dead. And David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” And they said, “He is dead.”
2 Samuel 12:20	And David arose from the ground, and he washed and anointed himself and changed his clothes, and he went into the house of YHWH and worshiped. And he went to his own house, and he requested, and they set before him food, and he ate.
2 Samuel 12:21	And his servants said to him, “What [is] this thing that you have done? While the child was alive, you fasted and wept; and when the child died, you arose and ate food.”
2 Samuel 12:22	And he said, “While the child was alive I fasted and wept, for I said, ‘Who knows that YHWH may be gracious, and the child may live?’
2 Samuel 12:23	And he is dead. Why [is] this [that] I should fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, and he shall not return to me.”
2 Samuel 12:24	And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her, and she bore a son, and she called his name Solomon. And YHWH loved him.
2 Samuel 12:25	And He sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet. And He called his name Jedidiah, because of YHWH.
2 Samuel 12:26	And Joab fought against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and he captured the royal city.
2 Samuel 12:27	And Joab sent messengers to David, and he said, “I have fought against Rabbah; Also I have captured the waters of the city.
2 Samuel 12:28	And now gather together the rest of the people and encamp against the city and take it, lest I take the city, and my name it be called after it.”
2 Samuel 12:29	And David gathered together all the people, and he went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it.
2 Samuel 12:30	And he took the crown of their king from his head, and its weight [was] a talent of gold, with precious stones; and it was [set] on the head of David, and the plunder of the city he brought out in great abundance.
2 Samuel 12:31	And the people who [were] in it he brought out, and he set them to the saw, and to picks of iron, and to axes of iron, and he made pass through to the brick kilns. And so he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 13:1	And it was after this that Absalom son of David [had] a lovely sister, and her name [was] Tamar. And Amnon son of David loved her.
2 Samuel 13:2	And Amnon was so distressed that he became sick over Tamar his sister, for she [was] a virgin, and it was improper in the eyes of Amnon to do anything to her.
2 Samuel 13:3	And Amnon had a friend, and his name [was] Jonadab son of Shimeah, brother of David. And Jonadab [was] a very shrewd man.
2 Samuel 13:4	And he said to him, “Why [are] you so depressed, son of the king, morning after morning? Will you not tell me?” And Amnon said to him, “I am loving Tamar, sister of Absalom my brother.”
2 Samuel 13:5	And Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Please let Tamar my sister come and give me food, and prepare the food in my sight, so that I may see and eat it from her hand.’”
2 Samuel 13:6	And Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill, and the king came to see him, and Amnon said to the king, “Please let Tamar my sister come and make for me in my sight two cakes, that I may eat from her hand.”
2 Samuel 13:7	And David sent to Tamar, to the house, saying, “Go now to the house of Amnon, to your brother, and prepare for him food.”
2 Samuel 13:8	And Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, and he was lying down. And she took the dough and kneaded [it] and made cakes in his eyes, and she baked the cakes.
2 Samuel 13:9	And she took the pan and placed [them] out before his face, and he refused to eat. And Amnon said, “Have every man go out from me.” And they went out, every man from him.
2 Samuel 13:10	And Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into the bedroom, that I may eat from your hand.” And Tamar took the cakes that she had made, and she brought them to Amnon her brother in the bedroom.
2 Samuel 13:11	And she had brought [them] to him to eat, and he took hold of her and said to her, “Come, lie with me, my sister.”
2 Samuel 13:12	And she answered him, “No, my brother, do not force me, for such should not be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing.
2 Samuel 13:13	And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. And now speak, please, to the king, for he will not withhold me from you.”
2 Samuel 13:14	And he would not listen to her voice, and he was stronger than she, and he forced her and lay with her.
2 Samuel 13:15	And Amnon hated her with exceedingly great hatred, so that greater the hatred [was] with which he hated her than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, “Arise, be gone.”
2 Samuel 13:16	And she said to him, “No, because this [is] greater evil than the other that you did to me—sending me away.” And he would not listen to her.
2 Samuel 13:17	And he called his servant who attended him, and he said, “Send away, please, this [woman] from me outside, and bolt the door behind her.”
2 Samuel 13:18	And she had on a tunic of many colors, for such apparel virgin daughters of the king wore. And his servant put her outside, and he bolted the door behind her.
2 Samuel 13:19	And Tamar put ashes on her head, and she tore her tunic of many colors that [was] on her, and she put her hand on her head and went, going on and crying bitterly.
2 Samuel 13:20	And Absalom her brother said to her, “Amnon your brother has been with you, and my sister, keep silent. He [is] your brother; do not put this thing to heart.” And Tamar was desolate and remained in the house of Absalom her brother.
2 Samuel 13:21	And King David heard of all these things, and he was very hot.
2 Samuel 13:22	And Absalom did not speak to Amnon bad or good, for Absalom hated Amnon, upon the matter that he had disgraced Tamar his sister.
2 Samuel 13:23	And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers at Baal-hazor, which [is] near Ephraim. And Absalom invited all the sons of the king.
2 Samuel 13:24	And Absalom came to the king and said, “Behold, now, your servant has sheepshearers. Let the king go, please, and his servants, with your servant.”
2 Samuel 13:25	And the king said to Absalom, “No, my son, let us not all go now, and we will not be a burden to you.” And he urged him, and he would not go, and he blessed him.
2 Samuel 13:26	And Absalom said, “If not, please let Amnon my brother go with us.” And the king said to him, “Why should he go with you?”
2 Samuel 13:27	And Absalom urged him, and he sent with him Amnon and all the sons of the king.
2 Samuel 13:28	And Absalom had commanded his young men, saying, “Watch now, when the heart of Amnon is merry with wine, and I say to you⁺, strike Amnon and kill him. Do not be afraid. Is [it] not that I have commanded you⁺? Be courageous and be sons of valor.”
2 Samuel 13:29	And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded, and all the sons of the king arose, and they rode each one on his mule, and they fled.
2 Samuel 13:30	And it came to pass, they [were] on the way, that news came to David, saying, “Absalom has killed all the sons of the king, and not one of them is left.”
2 Samuel 13:31	And the king arose and tore his garments, and he laid down on the ground. And all his servants stood by, with their clothes torn.
2 Samuel 13:32	And Jonadab son of Shimeah, brother of David, answered and said, “Let not my lord say all the young men, the sons of the king, they have killed. For Amnon alone is dead. For by the mouth of Absalom this has been determined from the day that he violated Tamar his sister.
2 Samuel 13:33	And now let not my lord the king put to his heart the thing, to think that all the sons of the king are dead. For Amnon alone is dead.”
2 Samuel 13:34	And Absalom fled, and the young man who was watching lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the road west of him on the side of the hill. And the watchman went and reported to the king, “I see men coming from the direction of Horonaim, along the side of the hill.
2 Samuel 13:35	And Jonadab said to the king, “Behold, the sons of the king have come. As spoke your servant, so it is.”
2 Samuel 13:36	And it came to pass, as he finished speaking, that indeed the sons of the king came, and they lifted up their voices and wept, and the king and all his servants wept, weeping very bitterly.
2 Samuel 13:37	And Absalom fled and went to Talmai son of Ammihud king of Geshur. And he mourned for his son all the days.
2 Samuel 13:38	And Absalom fled and went to Geshur, and he was there three years.
2 Samuel 13:39	And king David longed to go to Absalom. For he had been comforted concerning Amnon, because he was dead.
2 Samuel 14:1	And Joab son of Zeruiah knew that the heart of the king [was] on Absalom.
2 Samuel 14:2	And Joab sent to Tekoa, and he brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, “Pretend to be a mourner, please, and put on now mourning apparel, and do not anoint yourself with oil, and act like a woman these many days mourning for the dead.
2 Samuel 14:3	And go to the king and speak to him in this manner.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.
2 Samuel 14:4	And the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, and she fell on her nose to the ground, and bowed low, and said, “Save [me], O king.”
2 Samuel 14:5	And the king said to her, “What troubles you?” And she answered, “Truly I [am] a woman, a widow, and my husband is dead.
2 Samuel 14:6	And your maidservant had two sons, and the two fought with each other in the field, and [there was] no one to part them, and the one struck the one and killed him.
2 Samuel 14:7	And behold, the whole family has risen up against your maidservant, and they said, ‘Give up him who struck his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he has slain. And we will destroy also the heir.’ And they would extinguish my ember that is left, and not leave to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the earth.”
2 Samuel 14:8	And the king said to the woman, “Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you.”
2 Samuel 14:9	And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, “On me, My lord the king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father. And the king and his throne [be] guiltless.”
2 Samuel 14:10	And the king said, “He who speaks to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you anymore.”
2 Samuel 14:11	And she said, “Please let the king remember YHWH your God, and do not let add the avenger of blood to destroy. And they do not destroy my son.” And he said, “[As] YHWH lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground.”
2 Samuel 14:12	And the woman said, “Please let your maidservant speak to my lord the king a word.” And he said, “Speak.”
2 Samuel 14:13	And the woman said, “And why have you schemed such as this against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, [in that] the king does not bring home again his banished one.
2 Samuel 14:14	For we will surely die and [be] like the water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. And God does not take away a life, and He devises means that His banished ones are not expelled from Him.
2 Samuel 14:15	And now that I have come to speak to the king my lord of this thing, because the people have made me afraid, and your maidservant said, ‘I will speak now to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his maidservant.
2 Samuel 14:16	For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man destroying me and my son together from the inheritance of God.’
2 Samuel 14:17	And Your maidservant said, ‘Now the word of my lord the king will be comforting, for like the angel of God, so [is] my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may YHWH your God be with you.’”
2 Samuel 14:18	And the king answered and said to the woman, “Please do not hide from me anything that I am asking you.” And the woman said, “Please let my lord the king speak.”
2 Samuel 14:19	And the king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said, “[As] you live, my lord the king, there is no one turning to the right or turning to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of your maidservant all these words.
2 Samuel 14:20	In order to bring about the change of this thing, your servant Joab has done this thing. And my lord [is] wise, like the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that [is] in the land.”
2 Samuel 14:21	And the king said to Joab, “Behold now, I have granted this thing. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.”
2 Samuel 14:22	And Joab fell on his face to the ground, and bowed low, and blessed the king, and Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, in that the king has fulfilled the request of his servant.”
2 Samuel 14:23	And Joab arose and went to Geshur, and he brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 14:24	And the king said, “Let him return to his own house, and do not let him see my face.” And Absalom returned to his own house, and the face of the king he did not see.
2 Samuel 14:25	And there was no handsome man in all Israel who was praised as much as Absalom. From the sole of his foot and to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
2 Samuel 14:26	And he cut the hair of his head, and it was at the end of every year that he cut [it], because it was heavy on him; and he cut it, and he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, according to the standard of the king.
2 Samuel 14:27	And were born to Absalom three sons and one daughter, and her name [was] Tamar. She was a woman of beautiful appearance.
2 Samuel 14:28	And Absalom dwelt in Jerusalem two full years, and the face of the king he did not see.
2 Samuel 14:29	And Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king. And he would not come to him. And he sent again the second [time], and he would not come.
2 Samuel 14:30	And he said to his servants, “See, the portion of Joab [is] near mine, and he has barley there; go and burn it with the fire.” And the servants of Absalom burned the portion with the fire.
2 Samuel 14:31	And Joab arose and came to Absalom’s house, and he said to him, “Why have your servants burned the portion that [is] to me with the fire?”
2 Samuel 14:32	And Absalom answered unto Joab, “Behold, I sent to you, saying, ‘Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say: Why have I come from Geshur? [It would be] better for me [if] I [were] still there.’ And now let me see the face of the king. But if there is in me iniquity, let him kill me.”
2 Samuel 14:33	And Joab went to the king and told him, and he called for Absalom, and he came to the king and bowed himself on his nose to the ground before the face of the king. And the king kissed Absalom.
2 Samuel 15:1	And it came to pass after this that Absalom prepared for himself a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before his face.
2 Samuel 15:2	And Absalom would rise early and stand by the side of the way of the gate. And it came to pass, when every man who had a grievance came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “From which city [are] you?” And he would say, “From one of the tribes of Israel [is] your servant.”
2 Samuel 15:3	And Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case [is] good and right, and there is none from the king to hear you.”
2 Samuel 15:4	And Absalom would say, “Who will make me judge in the land, and to me would come every man who has to him a grievance or dispute, and I would give him justice!”
2 Samuel 15:5	And it came to pass whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take him and kiss him.
2 Samuel 15:6	And Absalom acted in this manner toward all Israel who came for judgment to the king. And Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 15:7	And it came to pass after four years that Absalom said to the king, “Let me go, please, and pay the vow that I made to YHWH in Hebron.
2 Samuel 15:8	For your servant took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘If YHWH does surely bring me back to Jerusalem, I will serve YHWH [in Hebron].’”
2 Samuel 15:9	And the king said to him, “Go in peace.” And he arose and went to Hebron.
2 Samuel 15:10	And Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you⁺ hear the voice of the shofar, you⁺ shall say, ‘Absalom reigns in Hebron.’”
2 Samuel 15:11	And with Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were called, and they went along in their blamelessness, and did not know the whole matter.
2 Samuel 15:12	And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, counselor of David, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered the sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people continually increased in number with Absalom.
2 Samuel 15:13	And a messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”
2 Samuel 15:14	And David said to all his servants who [were] with him at Jerusalem, “Arise and let us flee, or we there will not be an escape from Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest he hurry and overtake us and swing upon us a disaster and strike the city with the mouth of the sword.”
2 Samuel 15:15	And the servants of the king said to the king, “According to all that my lord the king chooses—behold, your servants.”
2 Samuel 15:16	And the king went out, and all his household at his feet, and the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.
2 Samuel 15:17	And the king went out, and all the people after him, and they stood at the last house.
2 Samuel 15:18	And all his servants passed over before his hand, and all the Cherethite, and all the Pelethite, and all the Gittite—six hundred men who had followed at his foot from Gath passed over before the face of the king.
2 Samuel 15:19	And the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king, for you [are] a foreigner, and also you [are] an exile from your own place.
2 Samuel 15:20	[Only] yesterday you arrived, and today should I make you wander up and down with us, since I go on where I know not? Turn back and take back your brothers with you.” [May the LORD show you] loving devotion and faithfulness.
2 Samuel 15:21	And Ittai answered the king and said, “[As] YHWH lives, and [as] my lord the king lives, surely if in whatever place where my lord the king shall be there, whether in death or in life, even there also your servant will be.”
2 Samuel 15:22	And David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little children who [were] with him.
2 Samuel 15:23	And all the country wept in a loud voice, and all the people passed over, and the king [himself] also passed over the Kidron Valley, and all the people passed over, by the face of the way of the wilderness,
2 Samuel 15:24	and behold, also Zadok and all the Levites with him bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished passing over from the city.
2 Samuel 15:25	And the king said to Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of YHWH, He will bring me back and show me it and His dwelling place.
2 Samuel 15:26	But if thus He says, ‘I have not delighted in you,’ behold, [it is] I. Let Him do to me as [is] good in His eyes.”
2 Samuel 15:27	And the king said to Zadok the priest, “Are you a seer? Return to the city in peace, and Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar, your⁺ two sons with you⁺.
2 Samuel 15:28	See, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you⁺ to inform me.”
2 Samuel 15:29	And Zadok and Abiathar carried back the ark of God to Jerusalem, and they remained there.
2 Samuel 15:30	And David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, going up and weeping, and the head of him was covered, and he went barefoot. And all the people who [were] with him covered each their heads, and went up, going up and weeping.
2 Samuel 15:31	And David was told, saying, “Ahithophel [is] among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “Turn into foolishness, please, the counsel of Ahithophel, O YHWH.”
2 Samuel 15:32	And it came to pass, David having come to the top, where he had worshiped God, that there was coming to meet him Hushai the Archite, with his tunic torn and dust on his head.
2 Samuel 15:33	And David said to him, “If you go on with me, you will become a burden to me.
2 Samuel 15:34	But if you return to the city and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king, and servant of your father [as] I [was] from then, and now I [will be] your servant,’ then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.
2 Samuel 15:35	And is there not with you there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? And it will come to pass [that] the whole of the matter that you hear from the house of the king, you shall tell to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
2 Samuel 15:36	Behold, there with them are their two sons, Ahimaaz [son] of Zadok and Jonathan [son] of Abiathar, and you⁺ shall send by their hand to me every word that you⁺ hear.”
2 Samuel 15:37	And Hushai friend of David went into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 16:1	And David was past a little from the top, and behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth to meet him, and a couple of donkeys were saddled, and on them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.
2 Samuel 16:2	And the king said to Ziba, “What [are] these to you?” And Ziba said, “The donkeys [are] for the house of the king to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who are faint to drink in the wilderness.”
2 Samuel 16:3	And the king said, “And where [is] the son of your master?” And Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore to me the kingdom of my father.’”
2 Samuel 16:4	And the king said to Ziba, “Behold, unto you [is] all that [is] unto Mephibosheth.” And Ziba said, “I humbly bow before you [that] I may find favor in your eyes, my lord the king.”
2 Samuel 16:5	And King David came to Bahurim, and behold, a man from there was going out from the family of the house of Saul, and his name [was] Shimei son of Gera. And he came out, coming out cursing continuously.
2 Samuel 16:6	And he stoned David with stones, and all the servants of King David. And all the people and all the mighty men [were] on his right hand and on his left.
2 Samuel 16:7	And thus said Shimei when he cursed, “Go out, go out, man of bloodshed, and man of worthlessness!
2 Samuel 16:8	YHWH has brought upon you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned. And YHWH has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son. And behold, you [are] in your own evil, because you [are] a man of blood.”
2 Samuel 16:9	And Abishai son of Zeruiah said to the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over, please, and turn aside his head.”
2 Samuel 16:10	And the king said, “What have I with you⁺, O sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because YHWH has said to him, ‘Curse David,’ who shall say, ‘Why have you done so?’”
2 Samuel 16:11	And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, is seeking my life. And how much more that now [this] Benjamite! Leave him alone and let him curse, for so YHWH has ordered him.
2 Samuel 16:12	Perhaps YHWH will look on my affliction and YHWH and will return me with good for his cursing this day.”
2 Samuel 16:13	And as David and his men went along the road, Shimei went along at the side of the hill opposite him as he went, and he cursed, and stoned with stones at him, and dusted with dust.
2 Samuel 16:14	And the king and all the people who [were] with him arrived weary, and he refreshed himself there.
2 Samuel 16:15	And Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel [was] with him.
2 Samuel 16:16	And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, friend of David, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, “May live the king, may live the king.”
2 Samuel 16:17	And Absalom said to Hushai, “[Is] this your loyalty to your friend? Why did not you go with your friend?”
2 Samuel 16:18	And Hushai said to Absalom, “No, but he whom YHWH has chosen, and this people, and all the men of Israel, unto him I will be, and with him I will remain.
2 Samuel 16:19	And secondly, whom should I serve? Is [it] not before the face of his son? As I have served before the face of your father, so will I be in your presence.”
2 Samuel 16:20	And Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give to us counsel as to what we should do.”
2 Samuel 16:21	And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to the concubines of your father, whom he has left to keep the house. And all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father, and the hands of all who are with you will be strengthened.”
2 Samuel 16:22	And they pitched for Absalom a tent on the roof, and Absalom went in to the concubines of his father before the eyes of all Israel.
2 Samuel 16:23	And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counseled in those days, [was] as if one had inquired at the word of God. So [was] all the counsel of Ahithophel, both with David and with Absalom.
2 Samuel 17:1	And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me choose now twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.
2 Samuel 17:2	And I will come upon him, and he is weary and weak handed, and I will cause him to tremble, and all the people will flee who [are] with him. And I will strike the king by himself,
2 Samuel 17:3	and bring back all the people to you. At the returning of all except the man whom you are seeking, all the people will be at peace.”
2 Samuel 17:4	And the saying was good in the eyes of Absalom and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
2 Samuel 17:5	And Absalom said, “Call now also Hushai the Archite, and let us hear what he says too.”
2 Samuel 17:6	And Hushai came to Absalom, and Absalom spoke to him, saying, “In this manner Ahithophel has spoken. Shall we do as he says? If not, you yourself speak up.”
2 Samuel 17:7	And Hushai said to Absalom, “The counsel [is] not good that Ahithophel has counseled at this time.”
2 Samuel 17:8	And Hushai said, “You know your father and his men, that they [are] mighty men, and they are bitter of spirit, like a bereaved bear in the field. And your father [is] a man of war, and he will not spend the night with the people.
2 Samuel 17:9	Behold now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places. And it will come to pass, when some fall among them at the first, that the hearer will hear and say, ‘There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.’
2 Samuel 17:10	And even he also, the son of valor whose heart [is] like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt. For all Israel knows that your father [is] a mighty man, and those who are with him [are] sons of valor.
2 Samuel 17:11	Therefore I counsel that all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan and to Beersheba, like the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and your face will be walking in the battle.
2 Samuel 17:12	And we will come upon him in one of the places where he may be found, and we will be on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there shall not be left of him and all the men who [are] with him even one.
2 Samuel 17:13	And if he withdraws into a city, all Israel shall bring to that city ropes, and we will pull it into the river until that there is not found there even a pebble.”
2 Samuel 17:14	And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel.” For YHWH had purposed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, for the sake of YHWH bringing on Absalom disaster.
2 Samuel 17:15	And Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus I have counseled.
2 Samuel 17:16	And now send quickly and declare to David, saying, ‘Do not spend the night in the plains of the wilderness, and also surely pass over, lest the king be swallowed up and all the people who [are] with him.’”
2 Samuel 17:17	And Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En-rogel; and the maidservant would come and tell them, and they would go and tell King David. For they dared not to be seen coming into the city.
2 Samuel 17:18	And a boy saw them and told Absalom; and the two of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, and unto him [was] a well in his court, and they went down into it.
2 Samuel 17:19	And the woman took and spread a screen over the face of the well, and she spread over it grain, and the thing was known not.
2 Samuel 17:20	And the servants of Absalom came to the woman at the house, and they said, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman said to them, “They have gone over the brook of water.” And they searched and did not find, and they turned back to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 17:21	And it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well, and they went and told King David, and they said to David, “Arise and pass over the waters quickly, for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you⁺.”
2 Samuel 17:22	And David arose, and all the people who [were] with him, and they passed over the Jordan until the light of the morning; not even one of them was left who had not gone over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 17:23	And Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled a donkey and arose and went home to his house, to his city, and he put in order unto his house, and hanged himself, and he died, and he was buried in the tomb of his father.
2 Samuel 17:24	And David went to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan—he and all the men of Israel with him.
2 Samuel 17:25	And Absalom had appointed Amasa instead of Joab Captain of the army. And Amasa [was] son of a man, and his name [was] Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab.
2 Samuel 17:26	And Israel and Absalom encamped [in] the land of Gilead.
2 Samuel 17:27	And it came to pass, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,
2 Samuel 17:28	beds, and basins, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched, and beans, and lentils,
2 Samuel 17:29	and honey, and curds, and sheep, and cheese of the herd, they brought near for David and the people who [were] with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”
2 Samuel 18:1	And David numbered the people who [were] with him, and he set over them captains of thousands and captains of hundreds.
2 Samuel 18:2	And David sent out a third of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third under the hand of Abishai son of Zeruiah the brother of Joab, and a third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, “I will surely go out—I also with you⁺.”
2 Samuel 18:3	And the people answered, “You shall not go out, for if we surely flee, they will not set the heart on us. If half of us die, they will not set the heart on us, but now [you are] like ten thousand of us, for now you are more to us in the city for a helper.”
2 Samuel 18:4	And the king said to them, “That which seems best in your⁺ eyes I will do.” And the king stood at the side of the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
2 Samuel 18:5	And the king had commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Be gentle for my sake with the young man, Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king gave orders all the captains concerning Absalom.
2 Samuel 18:6	And the people went out into the field to meet Israel, and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.
2 Samuel 18:7	And the people of Israel were struck there before the faces of the servants of David, and there took place that day a great slaughter of twenty thousand.
2 Samuel 18:8	For the battle there was scattered over the face of all the land, and the forest multiplied to devour the people more than the sword devoured that day.
2 Samuel 18:9	And Absalom met before the face of the servants of David. And Absalom rode on a mule. And the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught in the oak. And he was left hanging between the heavens and between the earth, and the mule that [was] under him went on.
2 Samuel 18:10	And a man saw [it] and told Joab, and he said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak tree.”
2 Samuel 18:11	And Joab said to the man who told him, “And behold, you saw [him], and why did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have given to you ten [shekels] of silver and one belt.”
2 Samuel 18:12	And the man said to Joab, “Even if I was weighing in my hands a thousand [shekels] of silver, I would not have sent out my hand against the son of the king. For in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Protect [for my sake] the young man Absalom.’
2 Samuel 18:13	And if I had done against my soul a falsehood—For no matter is hidden from the king—then you would have set yourself against [me].”
2 Samuel 18:14	And Joab said, “Not thus will I wait to your face.” And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was [still] alive in the heart of the oak tree.
2 Samuel 18:15	And surrounded ten young men who bore weapons of Joab, and they struck Absalom and killed him.
2 Samuel 18:16	And Joab blew in the shofar, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel, for Joab held back the people.
2 Samuel 18:17	And they took Absalom and cast him in the woods, into a large pit, and laid over him a very large heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each man to his tent.
2 Samuel 18:18	And Absalom had taken and set up for himself when he was living a pillar which [is] in the King’s Valley, for he said, “Not unto me [is] a son to keep in remembrance my name.” And He called the pillar after his own name, and it is called the Hand of Absalom to this day.
2 Samuel 18:19	And Ahimaaz son of Zadok said, “Let me run now to the king and take the news, how YHWH has avenged him of his enemies.”
2 Samuel 18:20	And Joab said to him, “You [are] not the man to take the news this day, for you shall take the news another day. And this day you shall not take news, upon that the son of the king is dead.”
2 Samuel 18:21	And Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” And the Cushite bowed low to Joab, and he ran.
2 Samuel 18:22	And Ahimaaz son of Zadok added again and said to Joab, “And what it was, will run, please, I also, after the Cushite!” And Joab said, “Why [is] this [that] you will run, my son, since [there are] there is no news found [from you]?”
2 Samuel 18:23	“And what it will be, let me run.” And he said to him, “Run.” And Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and outran the Cushite.
2 Samuel 18:24	And David was sitting between the two gates, and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate to the wall, and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was running by himself.
2 Samuel 18:25	And the watchman cried out and told the king. And the king said, “If he is by himself, news is in his mouth.” And he came, coming on and drawing near.
2 Samuel 18:26	And the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper, and said, “Behold, a man is running by himself.” And the king said, “Also this one brings news.”
2 Samuel 18:27	And the watchman said, “I think the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz son of Zadok.” And the king said, “This [one is] a good man, and with good news he comes.”
2 Samuel 18:28	And Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, “All is well.” And he bowed down before the king with his face to the earth. And he said, “Blessed [be] YHWH your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hands against my lord the king.”
2 Samuel 18:29	And the king said, “Is the young man safe Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “I saw a great tumult when Joab sent the servant of the king and [me], your servant, and I did not know why.”
2 Samuel 18:30	And the king said, “Turn aside [and] stand here.” And he turned aside and stood still.
2 Samuel 18:31	And just then the Cushite came, and the Cushite said, “There is good news, my lord the king, for YHWH has avenged you this day against the hand of all those who rose up against you.”
2 Samuel 18:32	And the king said to the Cushite, “Is [it all] well for the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “And may be the enemies of my lord the king like [that] young man, all who rise against you to do harm.”
2 Samuel 18:33	And the king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he went, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Oh that I was given to die in your place, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
2 Samuel 19:1	And it was declared to Joab, “Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.”
2 Samuel 19:2	And the victory that day became mourning for all the people, for the people heard it that day, saying, “The king is grieved for his son.”
2 Samuel 19:3	And the people stole away that day to go into the city, as the people steal away who are ashamed in their fleeing in battle.
2 Samuel 19:4	And the king covered his face, and the king cried out in a loud voice, “O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
2 Samuel 19:5	And Joab came to the king to the house, and said, “You have disgraced today the faces of all your servants who have saved your life today, and the lives of your sons and daughters, and the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,
2 Samuel 19:6	in that you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have declared today that not unto you [are] princes and servants; for I know today that if Absalom had lived and all of us today had died, that then it would be upright in your eyes.
2 Samuel 19:7	And now arise, go out, and speak to the heart of your servants, for by YHWH I swear, if you do not go out, not a man will stay with you [this] night. And this [is] worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.”
2 Samuel 19:8	And the king arose and sat in the gate. And all the people declared, saying, “There is the king, sitting in the gate.” And all the people came before the face of the king. For Israel had fled, each man to his tent.
2 Samuel 19:9	And all the people were in a dispute throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king snatched us up from the hand of our enemies, and he saved us from the hand of the Philistines. And he has fled from the land because of Absalom.
2 Samuel 19:10	And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in the battle. And now, why are you⁺ silent about bringing back the king?”
2 Samuel 19:11	And King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you⁺ the last to bring back the king to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his house?
2 Samuel 19:12	My brothers you⁺ [are], my bone and you⁺ [are] my flesh. And why are you⁺ the last to bring back the king?’
2 Samuel 19:13	And say to Amasa, ‘Is [it] not [that] you [are] my bone and my flesh? So may God do to me, and even may He add, if you are not the commander of the army before me all the days in place of Joab.’”
2 Samuel 19:14	And he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man. And they sent to the king, “Return, you and all your servants.”
2 Samuel 19:15	And the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:16	And Shimei son of Gera the Benjamite, who [was] from Bahurim, hurried, and he came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.
2 Samuel 19:17	And a thousand men of Benjamin [were] with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons, and his twenty servants with him. And they rushed into the Jordan before the face of the king.
2 Samuel 19:18	And they passed over the ford to bring over the house of the king, and to do what was good in his eyes. And Shimei son of Gera fell down before the face of the king when he had crossed the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:19	And he said to the king, “Let not my lord reckon to me iniquity or remember what your servant did wrong on the day that my lord the king left Jerusalem, that the king should put [it] to heart.
2 Samuel 19:20	For I your servant know that I have sinned. And behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph, to go down to meet my lord the king.”
2 Samuel 19:21	And Abishai son of Zeruiah answered and said, “In exchange for this, [shall] not Shimei be put to death, [in] that he cursed the anointed of YHWH?”
2 Samuel 19:22	And David said, “And what have I to do with you⁺, sons of Zeruiah, that you⁺ should be unto me for an adversary today? Shall today any man be put to death in Israel? For do I not know that this day I [am] king over Israel?”
2 Samuel 19:23	And the king said to Shimei, “You shall not die.” And the king swore to him.
2 Samuel 19:24	And Mephibosheth son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had not cared for his feet, and not trimmed his mustache, and his clothes he had not washed from the day of the going away of the king until the day that he returned in peace.
2 Samuel 19:25	And it came to pass, when he had come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, “Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?”
2 Samuel 19:26	And he answered, “My lord the king, my servant deceived me, for your servant said, ‘I will saddle for myself the donkey, that I may ride on it and go to the king, because your servant [is] lame.’
2 Samuel 19:27	And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. And my lord the king [is] like the angel of God; and do [what is] good in your eyes.
2 Samuel 19:28	For were not all the house of my father as but dead men before my lord the king? And you set your servant among those who eat at your own table. And what right have I anymore to cry still to the king?”
2 Samuel 19:29	And the king said to him, “Why do you speak anymore of your matters? I have said [that] you and Ziba shall divide the land.”
2 Samuel 19:30	And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Instead, let him take all of it, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.”
2 Samuel 19:31	And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim and went across the Jordan with the king, to send him away over the Jordan.
2 Samuel 19:32	And Barzillai [was] very old, a son of eighty years, and he had provided for the king while he stayed at Mahanaim. For he [was] a very rich man.
2 Samuel 19:33	And the king said to Barzillai, “You pass over with me, and I will provide for you while you are with me in Jerusalem.”
2 Samuel 19:34	And Barzillai said to the king, “How many [are] the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
2 Samuel 19:35	I [am] a son of eighty years today. Can I discern between good and evil? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singers and songstresses? Why should be your servant add a burden to my lord the king?
2 Samuel 19:36	As a little thing your servant will pass over the Jordan with the king. And why should the king repay me this reward?
2 Samuel 19:37	Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and my mother. And here is your servant Chimham. Let him pass over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your eyes.”
2 Samuel 19:38	And the king answered, “Chimham shall pass over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your eyes. And whatever you request of me, I will do for you.”
2 Samuel 19:39	And all the people passed over the Jordan. And the king had passed over, and the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his place.
2 Samuel 19:40	And the king passed over to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him, and all the people of Judah brought over the king, and also half the people of Israel.
2 Samuel 19:41	And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, “Why have stolen you away our brothers the men of Judah, and the king, and his house brought across the Jordan, and all the men of David with him?”
2 Samuel 19:42	And all the men of Judah answered against the men of Israel, “Because the king [is] near to us. And why [is] this [that] you are hot over this matter? Have we ever eaten from the king? Or has he ever lifted up to us?”
2 Samuel 19:43	And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, “Ten shares unto me [are] in the king, and also in David unto me [is] more than you. And why do you despise us, Was not my word first to bring back my king?” And the word of the men of Judah was sharper than the word of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel 20:1	And there happened to be a man of worthlessness, and his name [was] Sheba son of Bichri, a Benjamite man. And he blew with the shofar and said, “Unto us there is no share in David, nor an inheritance do we have in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, O Israel.”
2 Samuel 20:2	And every man of Israel deserted from after David, to after Sheba son of Bichri. And the men of Judah remained loyal to their king from the Jordan and as far as Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 20:3	And David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and he placed them in a house under guard. And he supported them, and to them he did not go in. And they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.
2 Samuel 20:4	And the king said to Amasa, “Call for me the men of Judah [in] three days, and you stand here.”
2 Samuel 20:5	And Amasa went to assemble Judah, and he delayed beyond the set time that he had appointed him.
2 Samuel 20:6	And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri will do more harm to us than Absalom. You take the servants of your lord and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities and escape our eyes.”
2 Samuel 20:7	And the men of Joab went out after him, with the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:8	They [were] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa came before their faces. And Joab [was] girded in his long robe for his clothing, and on it was a belt [with] a sword fastened at his hips in its sheath. And as he was going forward, it fell out.
2 Samuel 20:9	And Joab said to Amasa, “Is [it] well [with] you, my brother?” And with his right hand Joab held on to the beard of Amasa to kiss him.
2 Samuel 20:10	And Amasa did not notice the sword that [was] in the hand of Joab, and he struck him with it in the stomach, and his bowels poured out on the ground, and he did not do it again to him, and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:11	And a man stood by him of the young men of Joab, and he said, “Who [is he] that takes delight in Joab? And who [is he] that [is] for David? Follow Joab!”
2 Samuel 20:12	And Amasa was rolling around in [his] blood in the middle of the highway. And the man saw that all the people stood still, and he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw over him a garment when he saw that everyone who came upon him stood still.
2 Samuel 20:13	When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
2 Samuel 20:14	And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel-Beth-maacah, and all the Berites. And they were gathered together and went also after him.
2 Samuel 20:15	And they came and besieged him in Abel-Beth-maachah, and they heaped up a mound against the city, and it stood by the rampart. And all the people who [were] with Joab were destroying the wall to throw [it] down,
2 Samuel 20:16	and a wise woman cried out from the city, “Listen, listen! Say, please, to Joab, come nearby here, that I may speak with you.”
2 Samuel 20:17	And he had come near to her, and the woman said, “[Are] you Joab?” And He answered, “I [am].” And she said to him, “Listen to the words of your maidservant.” And he answered, “I am listening.”
2 Samuel 20:18	And she spoke, saying, “They spoke often in former [times], saying, ‘Let them diligently ask at Abel,’ and so they finished.
2 Samuel 20:19	I am a peaceable and faithful one of Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?”
2 Samuel 20:20	And Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy!
2 Samuel 20:21	The matter [is] not so! But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Give up him alone, and I will depart from the city.” And the woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
2 Samuel 20:22	And the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and they threw it to Joab. And he blew with the shofar, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tents. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
2 Samuel 20:23	And Joab [was] over all the host of Israel; and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [was] over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;
2 Samuel 20:24	and Adoram [was] in charge of revenue; and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [was] recorder;
2 Samuel 20:25	and Sheva [was] scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar [were] priests;
2 Samuel 20:26	and Ira the Jairite was a chief minister to David.
2 Samuel 21:1	And there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David inquired of YHWH. And YHWH answered, “Because of Saul and [his] house [is] the blood, on account that he killed the Gibeonites.”
2 Samuel 21:2	And the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (And the Gibeonites, they [were] not of the sons of Israel, for [they were] only of the remnant of the Amorite. And the sons of Israel had sworn protection to them, and Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah.)
2 Samuel 21:3	And David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you⁺, and with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of YHWH?”
2 Samuel 21:4	And the Gibeonites said to him, “We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, and no man to put to death in Israel.” And he said, “What are you⁺ saying I can do for you⁺.”
2 Samuel 21:5	And they answered to the king, “The man who consumed us and plotted against us, [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the territories of Israel,
2 Samuel 21:6	let be given to us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them before YHWH in Gibeah of Saul, chosen by YHWH.” And the king said, “I will give [them].”
2 Samuel 21:7	And the king had pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [was] between them, between David and between Jonathan son of Saul.
2 Samuel 21:8	And the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Merab daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
2 Samuel 21:9	and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the face of YHWH. And they fell seven together, and they were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days] in the beginning of the harvest of barley.
2 Samuel 21:10	And Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and she spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from the heavens. And she did not allow the birds of the heavens to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
2 Samuel 21:11	And David was told what Rizpah daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
2 Samuel 21:12	And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them there after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa.
2 Samuel 21:13	And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of those who had been hanged.
2 Samuel 21:14	And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded, and God heeded the prayer for the land after that.
2 Samuel 21:15	And again were the Philistines at war with Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines, and David grew faint.
2 Samuel 21:16	And Ishbi-benob, who [was] one of the sons of Rapha—and the weight of his spear [was] three hundred [shekels] of bronze in weight, and he was bearing a new one—spoke of striking David.
2 Samuel 21:17	And Abishai son of Zeruiah came to aid him and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.”
2 Samuel 21:18	And it came to pass after thus, that the battle there was again at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who [was] one of the sons of Rapha.
2 Samuel 21:19	And there was war again at Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the shaft of his spear [was] like a weavers’ beam.
2 Samuel 21:20	And there was war again at Gath, where there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [were] six, and the toes of his feet six—twenty-four in number. And also he was born from Rapha.
2 Samuel 21:21	And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimei the brother of David killed him.
2 Samuel 21:22	These four were born of Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
2 Samuel 22:1	And David spoke to YHWH the words of this song on the day when YHWH had snatched him up from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 Samuel 22:2	And he said: “YHWH [is] my rock and stronghold and rescuer to me.
2 Samuel 22:3	God [is] my rock, I will take refuge in Him, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my Savior; from violence You save me.
2 Samuel 22:4	I will call upon YHWH [who is] to be praised, and from my enemies I shall be saved.
2 Samuel 22:5	For the waves of death surrounded me, the floods of ungodliness terrified me,
2 Samuel 22:6	the sorrows of Sheol surrounded me, the snares of death confronted me.
2 Samuel 22:7	In my distress I called upon YHWH, and to my God I cried out, and He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry [is] in His ears.
2 Samuel 22:8	And the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the heavens quaked. And they were shaken, because He was hot.
2 Samuel 22:9	Smoke went up from His nostrils, and consuming fire from His mouth; glowing coals were kindled by it.
2 Samuel 22:10	And He stretched out the heavens and came down, and darkness was under His feet.
2 Samuel 22:11	And He rode upon a cherub and flew, and He soared on the wings of the wind.
2 Samuel 22:12	And He made darkness around Him as a covering, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
2 Samuel 22:13	From the brightness before Him coals of fire blazed forth.
2 Samuel 22:14	YHWH thundered from the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice.
2 Samuel 22:15	And He sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and He vanquished them.
2 Samuel 22:16	And the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were uncovered at the rebuke of YHWH, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
2 Samuel 22:17	He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
2 Samuel 22:18	He snatched me up from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me,
2 Samuel 22:19	they confronted me in the day of my calamity, and YHWH was support to me.
2 Samuel 22:20	And He brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.
2 Samuel 22:21	YHWH rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands He has repaid to me.
2 Samuel 22:22	For I have kept the ways of YHWH, and have not done wickedly against my God.
2 Samuel 22:23	For all His ordinances [are] before me, and His statutes—I have not turned away from them.
2 Samuel 22:24	And I was blameless before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
2 Samuel 22:25	And YHWH has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before His eyes.
2 Samuel 22:26	With the kind You show Yourself kind, with a blameless man You show Yourself blameless,
2 Samuel 22:27	with the pure You show Yourself pure, and with the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
2 Samuel 22:28	And the humble people You will save, and Your eyes [are] on the haughty, to bring [them] down.
2 Samuel 22:29	For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, and YHWH shall enlighten my darkness.
2 Samuel 22:30	For by You I can run against a troop; by my God I can leap over a wall.
2 Samuel 22:31	[As for] God, His way [is] perfect; the word of YHWH is refined; He [is] a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
2 Samuel 22:32	For who [is] God, except YHWH? And who [is] a rock, except our God?
2 Samuel 22:33	God [is] is my stronghold of strength, and He makes perfect my way.
2 Samuel 22:34	He makes my feet like those of a deer, and on my high places He sets me.
2 Samuel 22:35	He teaches my hands for war, and my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
2 Samuel 22:36	And You have given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your gentleness has made me great.
2 Samuel 22:37	You enlarged my path under me, and my feet did not slip.
2 Samuel 22:38	I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them, and neither did I turn back again until they were consumed.
2 Samuel 22:39	And I have destroyed them and wounded them, so that they could not rise, and they have fallen under my feet.
2 Samuel 22:40	And You have girded me with strength for the battle; those who rose against me You have subdued under me.
2 Samuel 22:41	And You have given me the necks of my enemies—of those who hated me—and I destroyed them.
2 Samuel 22:42	They looked, and [there was] none to save, to YHWH, and He did not answer them.
2 Samuel 22:43	And I beat them as fine as the dust of the earth, like dirt in the streets I crushed them and trampled them.
2 Samuel 22:44	And You have rescued me from the strife of my people, You have kept me as the head of the nations; a people I have not known shall serve me.
2 Samuel 22:45	Sons of a stranger submit to me; at the hearing of an ear, they listen to me.
2 Samuel 22:46	Sons of a stranger fade away and come trembling from their strongholds.
2 Samuel 22:47	YHWH lives, and blessed [be] my Rock, and may God the Rock of my salvation be exalted.
2 Samuel 22:48	[It is] God who gives vengeance to me and subdues the peoples under me,
2 Samuel 22:49	and He delivers me from my enemies; and those who rise against me You lift me up above, from the man of violence You deliver me.
2 Samuel 22:50	Upon thus I will confess You, O YHWH, among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to Your name.
2 Samuel 22:51	Great salvation [is to] His king, and He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and to his seed even to forever.”
2 Samuel 23:1	And these [are] the last words of David: “An utterance of David son of Jesse, and a declaration of the mighty man who was exalted on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:
2 Samuel 23:2	The Spirit of YHWH spoke by me, and His word [was] on my tongue.
2 Samuel 23:3	The God of Israel spoke the Rock of Israel spoke to me: ‘He who rules over men [is] righteous, ruling in the fear of God,
2 Samuel 23:4	and as the light of the morning he rises, a morning sun, without clouds, by clear shining after the rain, the tender grass of the earth.’
2 Samuel 23:5	For not so [is] my house with God; yet an everlasting covenant He has made with me, ordered in all things and secure; for [this is] all my salvation, and all [my] desire, for will He not make it sprout?
2 Samuel 23:6	And the worthless, like a thorn are all thrust away, because not in the hand can they be taken.
2 Samuel 23:7	And the man [who] touches them must be armed with iron and the shaft of a spear; and with the fire they are completely burned in the place.”
2 Samuel 23:8	These [are] the names of the mighty men who [were] unto David: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite was chief of the three; He wielded his spear against eight hundred, whom he killed at one time.
2 Samuel 23:9	And after him [was] Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines [who] were gathered there for battle and the men of Israel had retreated.
2 Samuel 23:10	He arose and struck the Philistines until that his hand was weary and his hand stuck to the sword; and YHWH brought about a great victory that day, and the people returned after him only to plunder.
2 Samuel 23:11	And after him [was] Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines had gathered together into a troop, and there was a portion of the field full of lentils, and the people fled from the Philistines.
2 Samuel 23:12	And he stationed himself in the middle of the field and defended it and killed the Philistines, and YHWH brought about a great salvation.
2 Samuel 23:13	And three of the thirty chief men went down and came at harvest time to David at the cave of Adullam, and the troop of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of the Rephaim.
2 Samuel 23:14	And David [was] then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then at Bethlehem.
2 Samuel 23:15	And David craved and he said, “Who will give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem, which [is] by the gate?”
2 Samuel 23:16	And the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem that [was] by the gate, and they lifted it and brought [it] to David. And he would not drink it, and he poured it out to YHWH.
2 Samuel 23:17	And he said, “Far be it from me, O YHWH, that I should do this; is it the blood of the men who went with their lives?” And he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.
2 Samuel 23:18	And Abishai brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three. And He lifted his spear against three hundred, slain, and he won a name among [these] three.
2 Samuel 23:19	Of the three was he [not] more honored? And he became for them as commander, and to the three he did not attain.
2 Samuel 23:20	And Benaiah son of Jehoiada [was] son of a man of valor, great in deeds, from Kabzeel. He struck down two lion-like ones of Moab, and He went down and killed a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.
2 Samuel 23:21	And he killed an Egyptian, who [was] a man of appearance, and in his hand the Egyptian [had] a spear. And he went down to him with a staff and wrested the spear out of the hand of the Egyptian and killed him with his own spear.
2 Samuel 23:22	These [things] Benaiah son of Jehoiada did, and he won a name among the three mighty men.
2 Samuel 23:23	Among the thirty he is honored, and to the three he did not attain. And David appointed him over his guard.
2 Samuel 23:24	Asah-el the brother of Joab [was] among the thirty, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
2 Samuel 23:25	Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,

2 Samuel 23:33	[son of] Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite,
2 Samuel 23:34	Eliphelet son of Ahasbai son of the Maachathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
2 Samuel 23:35	Hezro the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,
2 Samuel 23:36	Igal son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
2 Samuel 23:37	Zelek the Ammonite, Naharai the Beerothite, bearer of the weapons of Joab son of Zeruiah,
2 Samuel 23:38	Ira the Ithrite, Gareb the Ithrite,
2 Samuel 23:39	[and] Uriah the Hittite. And in all [were] thirty-seven.
2 Samuel 24:1	And the anger of YHWH added to be hot against Israel, and He moved David against them, saying, “Go, number Israel and Judah.”
2 Samuel 24:2	And the king said to Joab the commander of the army, who [was] with him, “Go now throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan and to Beersheba, and count the people, that I may know the number of the people.”
2 Samuel 24:3	And Joab said to the king, “And YHWH your God may add to the people, as they [were] and as they [are] a hundred times, and the eyes of my lord the king may see [it]. And my lord the king, why does this thing delight?”
2 Samuel 24:4	And the word of the king prevailed against Joab and against the captains of the army. And Joab and the captains of the army went out from the presence of the king to count the people of Israel.
2 Samuel 24:5	And they passed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the city which [is] in the midst of the valley, toward Gad and to Jazer.
2 Samuel 24:6	And they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and they came to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon,
2 Samuel 24:7	and they came to the stronghold of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivite and the Canaanite, and they went out to the Negev of Judah, to Beersheba.
2 Samuel 24:8	And they had gone through all the land, and they came at the end of nine months and twenty days to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel 24:9	And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And in Israel there were eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
2 Samuel 24:10	And the heart of David condemned him after that he had numbered the people. And David said to YHWH, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. And, O YHWH, cause to pass, please, the iniquity of Your servant. For I have acted very foolishly.”
2 Samuel 24:11	And David arose in the morning, and the word of YHWH came to Gad the prophet, seer of David, saying,
2 Samuel 24:12	“Go and tell to David, thus says YHWH: ‘Three [things] I offer you. Choose for yourself one of them, that I may do [it] to you.’”
2 Samuel 24:13	And Gad came to David and told him, and he said to him, “Shall come three years of famine to you in your land, or shall you flee three months before your enemy and he pursues you, or shall there be three days plague in your land? Now consider and see what word I should take back to Him who sent me.”
2 Samuel 24:14	And David said to Gad, “I am in great distress. Let us fall, please, into the hand of YHWH, for great [are] His mercies. And into the hand of man do not let me fall.”
2 Samuel 24:15	And YHWH sent a plague upon Israel from the morning and until the appointed time, and died of the people from Dan and to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
2 Samuel 24:16	And the angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, and YHWH relented from the destruction, and He said to the angel who was destroying the people, “Enough! Now restrain your hand!” And the angel of YHWH was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Samuel 24:17	And David spoke to YHWH when he saw the angel who was striking the people, and he said, “Behold, I, [the shepherd], have sinned, and I have acted wickedly. And these sheep, what have they done? Please be Your hand against me and against the house of my father.”
2 Samuel 24:18	And Gad came to David that day and said to him, “Go up, raise to YHWH an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”
2 Samuel 24:19	And David went up according to the word of Gad, as YHWH had commanded.
2 Samuel 24:20	And Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants coming toward him. And Araunah went out and bowed low before the king with his nose to the ground.
2 Samuel 24:21	And Araunah said, “Why has my lord come the king to his servant?” And David said, “To buy from you the threshing floor to build an altar to YHWH, that the plague may be restrained from the people.”
2 Samuel 24:22	And Araunah said to David, “Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever is good in his eyes. See the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing instruments, and the yokes of the oxen for the wood.
2 Samuel 24:23	All these Araunah has given, O king, to the king.” And Araunah said to the king, “May YHWH your God accept you.”
2 Samuel 24:24	And the king said to Araunah, “No, but I shall surely buy [it] from you for a price, and I will not offer to YHWH my God burnt offerings for nothing.” And David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
2 Samuel 24:25	And David built there an altar to YHWH, and he offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings. And YHWH heeded the prayers for the land, and the plague was withdrawn from Israel.
1 Kings 1:1	And King David was old, entering into the days. And they covered him with garments, and he could not get warm.
1 Kings 1:2	And his servants said to him, “Let them seek for our lord the king a young woman, a virgin, and let her stand before the face of the king, and let her care for him, and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.”
1 Kings 1:3	And they sought a lovely young woman throughout all the territory of Israel, and they found Abishag the Shunammitess and brought her to the king.
1 Kings 1:4	And the young woman [was] even exceedingly lovely, and she cared for the king and served him, and the king did not know her.
1 Kings 1:5	And Adonijah son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, “I will be king.” And he prepared for himself a chariot and horsemen and fifty men to run before his face.
1 Kings 1:6	(And his father had not rebuked him at any time by saying, “Why have you done so?” And He [was] also very good in form, and she had borne him after Absalom.)
1 Kings 1:7	And his words were with Joab son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they helped after Adonijah.
1 Kings 1:8	And Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who [were] to David, were not with Adonijah.
1 Kings 1:9	And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fattened cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which [is] by En-rogel. And he called all his brothers the sons of the king, and all the men of Judah the servants of the king.
1 Kings 1:10	And Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
1 Kings 1:11	And Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, “Have not you heard that Adonijah son of Haggith has become king, and our lord David does not know [it]?
1 Kings 1:12	And come, let me advise you, please, with counsel that may save your own life and the life of your son Solomon.
1 Kings 1:13	Go and enter in to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord the king, swear to your maidservant, saying, “Surely Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne”? And why has Adonijah become king?’
1 Kings 1:14	Behold, while you are still talking there with the king, I will come in after you and confirm your words.”
1 Kings 1:15	And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber. And the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammitess was serving the king.
1 Kings 1:16	And Bathsheba bowed bowed herself low to the king. And the king said, “What [is] for you?”
1 Kings 1:17	And she said to him, “My lord, you swore by YHWH your God to your maidservant, ‘Surely Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne.’
1 Kings 1:18	And now, behold, Adonijah has become king. And, my lord the king, you do not know about [it].
1 Kings 1:19	And He has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and he has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the commander of the army. And Solomon your servant he has not invited.
1 Kings 1:20	And you, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel [are] on you, that you should tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
1 Kings 1:21	And it will come to pass, in the resting on my lord the king with his fathers, that I will be counted, and my son Solomon, as sinful.”
1 Kings 1:22	And behold, while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.
1 Kings 1:23	And they told the king, saying, “Behold, Nathan the prophet.” And he came in before the face of the king, and he bowed low before the king with his nose to the ground.
1 Kings 1:24	And Nathan said, “My lord the king, have you said, ‘Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne’?
1 Kings 1:25	For he has gone down today and has sacrificed oxen and fattened cattle and sheep in abundance, and he has called to all the sons of the king and the commanders of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And behold, they are eating and drinking before his face and saying, ‘Long live King Adonijah.’
1 Kings 1:26	And me your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and Solomon your servant, he has not called.
1 Kings 1:27	Has this thing been done by my lord the king, and you have not told your servant who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?”
1 Kings 1:28	And King David answered and said, “Call for me Bathsheba.” And she came before the face of the king and stood before the face of the king.
1 Kings 1:29	And the king took an oath and said, “[As] YHWH lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress,
1 Kings 1:30	just as I swore to you by YHWH, God of Israel, saying, surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place, even so I will surely do this day.”
1 Kings 1:31	And Bathsheba bowed [with her] nose [to] the ground and she bowed low to the king, and said, “May my lord live King David forever.”
1 Kings 1:32	And King David said, “Call for me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada.” And they came in before the face of the king.
1 Kings 1:33	And the king said to them, “Take with you⁺ the servants of your⁺ lord, and have ride Solomon my son on the mule that is unto me, and take him down to Gihon.
1 Kings 1:34	And let Zadok the priest anoint him there—and Nathan the prophet—as king over Israel. And blow the shofar and say, ‘Long live King Solomon!’
1 Kings 1:35	And you⁺ shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. And I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”
1 Kings 1:36	And Benaiah son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, “Amen! Thus YHWH the God of my lord the king speaks.
1 Kings 1:37	As YHWH has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
1 Kings 1:38	And Zadok the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they had Solomon ride on the mule of King David and took him to Gihon.
1 Kings 1:39	And Zadok the priest took a horn of the oil from the tabernacle, and he anointed Solomon. And they blew with the shofar, and all the people said, “Long live King Solomon.”
1 Kings 1:40	And all the people went up after him, and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth was split by their sound.
1 Kings 1:41	And Adonijah heard [it], and all the guests who [were] with him, and they finished eating. And Joab heard the voice of the shofar. And he said, “Why [is] the noise of the city roaring?”
1 Kings 1:42	And while he was still speaking, behold, Jonathan son of Abiathar the priest came in. And Adonijah said to him, “Come in, for you [are] a man of valor and bring good news.”
1 Kings 1:43	And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “Truly our lord King David has made Solomon king.
1 Kings 1:44	And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they had him ride on the mule of the king.
1 Kings 1:45	And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon, and they have gone up from there rejoicing, and the city rings out; it [is] the noise that you⁺ have heard.
1 Kings 1:46	And Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.
1 Kings 1:47	And also the servants of the king have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, ‘May God make better the name of Solomon than your name, and may He make greater his throne than your throne.’ And the king bowed low on the bed.
1 Kings 1:48	And thus the king said, ‘Blessed [be] YHWH, God of Israel, who has given one today to sit on my throne, and my eyes have seen [it].’”
1 Kings 1:49	And all the guests who were with Adonijah were afraid and arose, and each man went on his way.
1 Kings 1:50	And Adonijah was afraid of Solomon. And he arose and went and took hold of the horns of the altar.
1 Kings 1:51	And it was told to Solomon, saying, “Behold, Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon, and behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, ‘Let King Solomon swear to me today that he will not put to death his servant with the sword.’”
1 Kings 1:52	And Solomon said, “If he is a son of strength not one hair of him shall fall to the earth, but if wickedness is found in him, he shall die.”
1 Kings 1:53	And King Solomon sent and they brought him down from the altar, and he came and fell down before King Solomon. And Solomon said to him, “Go to your house.”
1 Kings 2:1	And drew near the days of David to die, and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,
1 Kings 2:2	“I am going the way of all the earth. And you shall be strong and you shall become a man.
1 Kings 2:3	And you shall keep the charge of YHWH your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, and His ordinances, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and all wherever you turn in it,
1 Kings 2:4	so that YHWH may fulfill His word that He spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul,’ He said, ‘Shall not be cut off to you a man on the throne of Israel.’
1 Kings 2:5	And also you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me, [and] what he did to the two commanders of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. And he killed them and made the blood of war in peacetime, and he put the blood of war on his belt that [was] around his waist, and on his sandal that [was] on his feet.
1 Kings 2:6	And you shall do according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down in peace to Sheol.
1 Kings 2:7	And to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite show loving devotion, and let them be among those who eat at your table; for so they drew near to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.
1 Kings 2:8	And behold, with you [is] Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim. And he cursed me with a bitter curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. And he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by YHWH, saying, ‘I will not put you to death by the sword.’
1 Kings 2:9	And now do not hold him guiltless, for you [are] a wise man, and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring down his gray hair in blood to Sheol.”
1 Kings 2:10	And David rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David.
1 Kings 2:11	And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty years—in Hebron he reigned seven years and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.
1 Kings 2:12	And Solomon sat on the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established firmly.
1 Kings 2:13	And Adonijah son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, and she said, “Do you come [In] peace?” And he said, “[In] peace.”
1 Kings 2:14	And he said, “A word to me [is] to you.” And she said, “Speak.”
1 Kings 2:15	And he said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and on me had set their faces all Israel that I should reign. And the kingdom has been turned over, and has become to my brother, for from YHWH it has come to him.
1 Kings 2:16	And one request I ask of you; do not deny me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”
1 Kings 2:17	And he said, “Speak, please, to Solomon the King, for he will not refuse you, that he may give to me Abishag the Shunammitess for a wife.”
1 Kings 2:18	And Bathsheba said, “Good; I will speak for you to the king.”
1 Kings 2:19	And Bathsheba came in to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and he bowed low to her and sat down on his throne, and he set a throne for the mother of the king. And she sat at his right hand.
1 Kings 2:20	And she said, “One small request I desire of you. Do not turn back my face.” And the king said to her, “Ask it, my mother, for I will not turn back your face.”
1 Kings 2:21	And she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammitess be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”
1 Kings 2:22	And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, “And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammitess for Adonijah? And also ask for him the kingdom—for he [is] older brother to me—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
1 Kings 2:23	And King Solomon swore by YHWH, saying, “Thus may do to me God, and thus may He add, if against his own life Adonijah has not spoken this word.
1 Kings 2:24	And now [as] YHWH lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established for me a house as He promised, surely today Adonijah shall be put to death.”
1 Kings 2:25	And King Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he struck him down, and he died.
1 Kings 2:26	And to Abiathar the priest said the king, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields. For you [are] deserving of death, and at this time I will not put you to death, because you carried the ark of the Lord YHWH before the face of David my father, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted.”
1 Kings 2:27	And Solomon removed Abiathar from being priest to YHWH, that he might fulfill the word of YHWH that He spoke concerning the house of Eli at Shiloh.
1 Kings 2:28	And the report came to Joab, for Joab had turned aside to Adonijah, and after Absalom he had not turned aside. And Joab fled to the tabernacle of YHWH and took hold of the horns of the altar.
1 Kings 2:29	And it was declared to King Solomon that Joab had fled to the tabernacle of YHWH, and behold, [he was] by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall upon him.”
1 Kings 2:30	And Benaiah went to the tabernacle of YHWH and said to him, “Thus says the king: ‘Come out.’” And he said, “No, but here I will die.” And Benaiah brought back to the king word, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”
1 Kings 2:31	And the king said to him, “Do as he has said and strike him down and bury him, that you may take away the innocent blood that Joab shed from me and from the house of my father.
1 Kings 2:32	And YHWH will return his blood on his head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than he, and he killed them with the sword—and my father David knew [it] not—Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah.
1 Kings 2:33	And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab and upon the head of his seed forever. And upon David and his seed, and upon his house and his throne there shall be peace even to forever from YHWH.”
1 Kings 2:34	And Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up and struck him and killed him, and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
1 Kings 2:35	And the king put Benaiah son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and Zadok the priest the king put in the place of Abiathar.
1 Kings 2:36	And the king sent and called for Shimei, and he said to him, “Build for yourself a house in Jerusalem and dwell there, and do not go out from there where and where.
1 Kings 2:37	For it will come to pass on the day you go out and pass over the Kidron Brook, [that] you will surely know that you will surely die; your blood will be on your own head.”
1 Kings 2:38	And Shimei said to the king, “The saying [is] good. As my lord the king has said, so your servant will do.” And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
1 Kings 2:39	And it came to pass at the end of three years that two slaves of Shimei fled to Achish son of Maacah king of Gath. And they declared to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your slaves [are] in Gath.”
1 Kings 2:40	And Shimei arose and saddled his donkey and went to Gath to Achish to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.
1 Kings 2:41	And it was told to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had returned.
1 Kings 2:42	And the king sent and called for Shimei and said to him, “Did not I make you swear by YHWH and give warning to you, saying, ‘On the day of your going out when you travel where and where, you will surely know that you will surely die’? and you said to me, ‘The word I have heard [is] good.’
1 Kings 2:43	And why have not you kept the oath of YHWH and the commandment that I commanded concerning you?”
1 Kings 2:44	And the king said to Shimei, “You know all the evil that your heart has known, that you did to David my father; and YHWH will return your evil on your head.
1 Kings 2:45	And King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the face of YHWH even to forever.”
1 Kings 2:46	And the king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he went out and struck down him, and he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
1 Kings 3:1	And Solomon joined in marriage with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he took the daughter of Pharaoh and brought her in to the City of David, until his completing to build his own house, and the house of YHWH, and the wall all around Jerusalem.
1 Kings 3:2	Only, the people sacrificed at the high places, because there had not been built a house for the name of YHWH until those days.
1 Kings 3:3	And Solomon loved YHWH, walking in the statutes of David his father; only at the high places he sacrificed and burned incense.
1 Kings 3:4	And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that [was] the great high place. Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.
1 Kings 3:5	At Gibeon YHWH appeared to Solomon in a dream by the night, and God said, “Ask what I shall give to you.”
1 Kings 3:6	And Solomon said, “You have shown to Your servant David my father great loving devotion, because he walked before You in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You, and You have continued for him this great loving devotion, and You have given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.
1 Kings 3:7	And now, O YHWH my God, You have made Your servant to reign in place of David my father, and I [am] a little child. I do not know going out or coming in.
1 Kings 3:8	And Your servant [is] in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a people numerous that is not to be numbered and not to be counted for multitude.
1 Kings 3:9	And give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”
1 Kings 3:10	And the word was good in the eyes of the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing.
1 Kings 3:11	And God said to him, “Because that you have asked this thing, and have not asked for yourself long life, and not have asked for yourself riches, and not have asked the life of your enemies, and you have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice—
1 Kings 3:12	behold, I have done according to your words. Behold, I have given to you a wise heart and understanding, so that there has been none like you before you, and after you shall none arise like you.
1 Kings 3:13	And also what you have not asked, I have given to you, both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.
1 Kings 3:14	And if you walk in My ways to keep My statutes and My commandments, as David your father walked, I will prolong your days.”
1 Kings 3:15	And Solomon awoke, and behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the face of the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and he offered up burnt offerings, and he made peace offerings, and he made a feast for all his servants.
1 Kings 3:16	Then came two women, prostitutes, to the king, and they stood before his face.
1 Kings 3:17	And one woman said, “Please my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house, and I gave birth while she [was] in the house.
1 Kings 3:18	And it came to pass, the third day of my bringing forth, that this woman also brought forth, and we [were] together. No one [was] with us in the house except the two of us in the house.
1 Kings 3:19	And the son of this woman died in the night, because she lay on him.
1 Kings 3:20	And she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from my side—and your maidservant slept—and laid him in her bosom, and her dead child she laid in my bosom.
1 Kings 3:21	And I rose in the morning to nurse my son, and there he was dead. And I considered concerning him in the morning, and behold, he was not my son whom I had borne.”
1 Kings 3:22	And the other woman said, “No, but my son [is] the living one, and your son [is] the dead one.” And this [woman] said, “No, but your son [is] the dead one, and my son [is] the living one.” And they spoke before the face of the king.
1 Kings 3:23	And the king said, “This one says, ‘This [is] my son who lives, and your son [is] the dead one,’ and this one says, ‘No, but your son [is] the dead one, and my son [is] the living one.’”
1 Kings 3:24	And the king said, “Bring me a sword.” And they brought a sword before the face of the king.
1 Kings 3:25	And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one and half to one.”
1 Kings 3:26	And the woman whose son [was] living spoke to the king, for with compassion she yearned for her son, and she said, “Please my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him.” And this one said, “Let him be not even unto me or unto you; divide [him]!”
1 Kings 3:27	And the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She [is] his mother.”
1 Kings 3:28	And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they feared the face of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God [was] within him, to administer justice.
1 Kings 4:1	And king Solomon was King over all Israel.
1 Kings 4:2	And these [were] the officials who [were] unto him: Azariah son of Zadok the priest;

1 Kings 4:21	And Solomon was reigning over all kingdoms from the River [to] the land of the Philistines, and as far as the border of Egypt. [They] brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.
1 Kings 4:22	And the provision of Solomon for one day was thirty cors of fine flour, and sixty cors of meal,
1 Kings 4:23	ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen from the pastures, and a hundred sheep, besides deer, and gazelles, and roebucks, and fattened fowl.
1 Kings 4:24	For he had dominion over all on this side of the River, from Tiphsah and to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River. And was unto him peace on all his sides all around.
1 Kings 4:25	And Judah and Israel dwelt in safety, each man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan and to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
1 Kings 4:26	And Solomon had four thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horses.
1 Kings 4:27	And these governors provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to the table of King Solomon, each man in his month. Nothing was lacking in their supply.

1 Kings 4:29	And God gave wisdom to Solomon, and understanding exceedingly great, and breadth of heart, like the sand that [is] on the shore of the sea.
1 Kings 4:30	And the wisdom of Solomon was greater than the wisdom of all of the sons of the East, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
1 Kings 4:31	For he was wiser than all men—than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Calcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame was in all the surrounding nations.
1 Kings 4:32	And He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were a thousand and five.
1 Kings 4:33	And he spoke of trees, from the cedar of Lebanon and to the hyssop that comes out of the wall. And he spoke of the animals, and of the birds, and of the creeping things, and of the fish.
1 Kings 4:34	And men came from all the nations to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth, who had heard of his wisdom.
1 Kings 5:1	And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram was loving of David all the days.
1 Kings 5:2	And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
1 Kings 5:3	“You know David my father, how he could not build a house for the name of YHWH his God because of the wars that surrounded him, until YHWH put them under the soles of his feet.
1 Kings 5:4	And YHWH my God has given rest to me on every side; [there is] no adversary and no evil occurrence.
1 Kings 5:5	And behold, I propose to build a house for the name of YHWH my God, as YHWH spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set in your place on your throne, he will build the house for My Name.’
1 Kings 5:6	And now command that they cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And my servants will be with your servants, and for your servants I will pay wages to you according to whatever you say, for you know that [there is] none among us who has skill to cut trees like the Sidonians.”
1 Kings 5:7	And it came to pass [that] Hiram heard the words of Solomon, and he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed [be] YHWH this day, for He has given to David a wise son over this great people.”
1 Kings 5:8	And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “I have considered that which you have sent to me, [and] I will do all you desire with the trees of cedar and with the trees of cypress.
1 Kings 5:9	My servants will bring [them] down from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them in rafts by the sea to the place that you indicate to me, and I will break them up there. And you shall lift [them] and you shall fulfill my desire by giving food for my house.”
1 Kings 5:10	And Hiram gave to Solomon trees of cedar and trees of cypress, all of his desire.
1 Kings 5:11	And Solomon gave to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat [as] food for his house, and twenty [thousand] baths of pressed oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

1 Kings 5:13	And King Solomon raised up a forced labor out of all Israel, and the forced labor was thirty thousand men.
1 Kings 5:14	And he sent them to Lebanon ten thousand by the month in shifts. One month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months in his house. And Adoniram was over the forced labor.
1 Kings 5:15	And Solomon had seventy thousand who lift a burden and eighty thousand who hew in the hill country,
1 Kings 5:16	besides the chiefs of the deputies of Solomon that [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred [were] those ruling over the people who were doing the work.
1 Kings 5:17	And the king commanded them, and they brought large stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the temple, [and] hewn stones.

1 Kings 6:1	And it came to pass in the four hundredth year and eightieth year after the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the month of Ziv—it [is] the second month of the reigning of Solomon over Israel—that he began to build the house of YHWH.
1 Kings 6:2	And the house that King Solomon built for YHWH, sixty cubits [was] its length, and twenty its width, and thirty cubits its height.
1 Kings 6:3	And the portico [was] upon the face of the sanctuary of the house, twenty cubits was its length upon the face, the width of the house, and ten by the cubit was its width upon the face of the house.
1 Kings 6:4	And he made for the house windows with narrowed frames.
1 Kings 6:5	And he built against the wall of the house chambers all around, the walls of the house all around, the sanctuary and the inner sanctuary. And he made side chambers all around it.
1 Kings 6:6	The lowest couch [was] five by the cubit wide, and the middle [was] six by the cubit wide, and the third [was] seven by the cubit wide. For ledges he gave all around the outside of the temple, so that nothing would be fastened into the walls of the house.
1 Kings 6:7	And the house, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that hammer or chisel [or] any iron tool was not heard in the house while it was being built.
1 Kings 6:8	The doorway for the bottom story [was] on the right side of the house, and by stairs they went up the middle [story], and from the middle to the third.
1 Kings 6:9	And he built the house and finished it, and he covered the house with beams and rows of the cedars.
1 Kings 6:10	And he built the couch against all the house, five cubits high, and it was attached to the house with cedar beams.
1 Kings 6:11	And the word of YHWH came to Solomon, saying,
1 Kings 6:12	“This house that you are building, if you walk in My statutes, and My ordinances you do, and keep all My commandments and walk in them, then I will cause to stand My word with you, which I spoke to David your father.
1 Kings 6:13	And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.”
1 Kings 6:14	And Solomon built the house and completed it.
1 Kings 6:15	And he built the walls of the house on the inside On the inside with cedar boards from the floor of the house up to the walls of the ceiling. He overlaid with wood the inside, and he covered the floor of the house with sides of cypress.
1 Kings 6:16	And he built the twenty cubits at the rear of the house with cedar boards from floor to ceiling, and he built [it] inside, as the inner sanctuary, for the Holy of Holies.
1 Kings 6:17	And forty by the cubit was the sanctuary; it [is] the house before [it].
1 Kings 6:18	And the cedar for the house inside was carved with gourds and open flowers. All [was] cedar; not a stone was seen.
1 Kings 6:19	And the inner sanctuary in the midst of the house on the inside, he prepared to set there the ark of the covenant of YHWH.
1 Kings 6:20	And before the face of the inner sanctuary [was] twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and twenty cubits high. And He overlaid it with pure gold, and he overlaid the altar of cedar.
1 Kings 6:21	And Solomon overlaid the house inside with pure gold, and He stretched gold chains across the front of the inner sanctuary, and he overlaid it with gold.
1 Kings 6:22	And all the house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house. And all the altar that [was] for the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
1 Kings 6:23	And he made inside the inner sanctuary two cherubim of olive wood, ten cubits high.
1 Kings 6:24	And [was] five cubits the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the second wing of the cherub—ten cubits from the ends of one wing and to the ends of the other.
1 Kings 6:25	And ten by the cubit [was] the second cherub, of one size and one shape [were] the two cherubim.
1 Kings 6:26	The height of the one cherub [was] ten by the cubit, and so the second cherub.
1 Kings 6:27	And he set the cherubim in the midst of the inner room, and they stretched out the wings of the cherubim so that the wing of the one touched one wall, and the wing of the second cherub touched the second wall, and their wings in the middle of the room touched wing against wing.
1 Kings 6:28	And he overlaid the cherubim with gold.
1 Kings 6:29	And all the walls of the house all around he carved with openings of carvings of cherubim, and palm trees, and open flowers, from inside and to the outside.
1 Kings 6:30	And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, for inside and for the outside.
1 Kings 6:31	And for the entrance of the inner sanctuary he made doors of olive wood. The lintel [and] doorposts [were] five-sided.
1 Kings 6:32	And the two doors [were of] olive wood, and he carved on them figures of cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and he overlaid them with gold, and he beat out the gold on the cherubim, and on the palm trees.
1 Kings 6:33	And also he made for the door of the sanctuary doorposts of olive wood with four [sides].
1 Kings 6:34	And the two doors [were of] cypress wood, two panels of the one door were folding, and two panels of the second door were folding.
1 Kings 6:35	And he carved cherubim and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid [them] with gold applied evenly on the carved work.
1 Kings 6:36	And he built the inner court with three rows of hewn stone, and a row of cut beams of cedar.
1 Kings 6:37	In the fourth year of the house of YHWH the foundation was laid, in the month of Ziv.
1 Kings 6:38	And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, that [is] the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. And he built it seven years.
1 Kings 7:1	And his own house Solomon built thirteen years; and he finished all his house.
1 Kings 7:2	And He built the House of the Forest of Lebanon; a hundred cubits [was] its length, and fifty cubits its width, and thirty cubits its height, with four rows of cedar pillars and cedar beams on the pillars.
1 Kings 7:3	And it was covered with cedar above, on the beams that [were] on forty-five pillars, fifteen in the row.
1 Kings 7:4	And windows [were] in three rows, and window [was] opposite window [in] three tiers.
1 Kings 7:5	And all the doorways and the doorposts were squared framework, and window [was] opposite window [in] three tiers.
1 Kings 7:6	And also he made the Hall of Pillars, fifty cubits its length and thirty cubits its width. And a portico [was] before their faces with pillars, and a canopy [was] before their faces.
1 Kings 7:7	And he made a hall for the throne where he would judge there, the Hall of Justice, and it was covered with the cedar from the floor up to the ceiling.
1 Kings 7:8	And the house where he dwelt there [had] another court inside the porch. It was of like workmanship as this and he made a house for the daughter of Pharaoh—whom Solomon had taken—like this porch.
1 Kings 7:9	All these [were] of costly stones, cut to size, trimmed with the saw from within and from without, and from the foundation to the eaves, and from the outside up to the great court.
1 Kings 7:10	And the foundation [was] of costly stones, large stones, stones of ten cubits and stones of eight cubits.
1 Kings 7:11	And above [were] costly stones, hewn according to the measurement, and cedar wood.
1 Kings 7:12	And the great court [was] three rows of hewn stones round about and a row of cedar beams, even for the inner court of the house of YHWH and the porch of the house.
1 Kings 7:13	And King Solomon sent and brought Huram from Tyre.
1 Kings 7:14	He [was] the son of a woman, a widow, from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father [was] a Tyrian man, a worker in bronze. And he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill in working with all kinds of work in bronze. And he came to King Solomon and did all his work.
1 Kings 7:15	And he cast two pillars of bronze, eighteen cubits was the height of the one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits compassed the second pillar.
1 Kings 7:16	And two capitals he made to set on the tops of the pillars, cast bronze, five cubits the height of the one capital, and five cubits the height of the second capital.
1 Kings 7:17	He made a network of lattice with wreaths of chainwork for the capitals that [were] on top of the pillars, seven for the one capital and seven for the second capital.
1 Kings 7:18	And he made the pillars and two rows all around above the one network, to cover the capitals that [were] on top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the second capital.
1 Kings 7:19	And the capitals that [were] on top of the pillars [were] in the shape of lilies in the hall, four cubits.
1 Kings 7:20	And the capitals on the two pillars also above, from near the belly that [was] next to the network. And there [were] two hundred pomegranates in rows all around on the second capital.
1 Kings 7:21	And he set up the pillars for the porch of the house. And he set up the pillar on the right and called its name Jachin, and he set up the pillar on the left and called its name Boaz.
1 Kings 7:22	And the tops of the pillars [were] the work of lilies. And the work of the pillars was finished.
1 Kings 7:23	And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten by the cubit from one brim to the other. [It was] perfectly round, and five by the cubit [was] its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounded it all around.
1 Kings 7:24	And [were] ornamental buds beneath its brim round about surrounding it, ten by the cubit, all the way around the Sea. In two rows the ornamental buds [were] cast when it was cast.
1 Kings 7:25	It stood on twelve oxen, three facing toward the north, and three facing toward the west, and three facing toward the south, and three facing toward the east; and the Sea was over them, and all their hindquarters [were] inward.
1 Kings 7:26	And it [was] a handbreadth thick, and its brim as the work of the brim of a cup, a lily blossom. It contained two thousand baths.
1 Kings 7:27	And He made ten carts of bronze, four by the cubit the length of the one cart, and four by the cubit its width, and three by the cubit its height.
1 Kings 7:28	And this [was] the design of the carts: Panels [were] unto them, and the panels between frames.
1 Kings 7:29	And on the panels that [were] between the frames [were] lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the frames [was] a pedestal on top; and beneath the lions and the oxen [were] wreaths of plaited work.
1 Kings 7:30	And four bronze wheels were unto the one cart, and axles of bronze, and its four feet were supports to them; under the basin [were] supports of cast [bronze] beside each of the wreaths.
1 Kings 7:31	And its opening inside the crown and at the top [was] a cubit, and the opening [was] round shaped a pedestal, one and a half of the cubit, and also on the opening [were] engravings, and the panels were square not round.
1 Kings 7:32	And the four wheels [were] under the panels, and the axles of the wheels [were] to the cart. And the height of one wheel [was] a cubit and a half a cubit.
1 Kings 7:33	And the workmanship of the wheels [was] like the workmanship of a wheel of a chariot. Their hubs, and their axles, and their spokes, and their rims [were] all of cast metal.
1 Kings 7:34	And [were] four supports at the four corners of the one cart, its supports [were] of the cart itself.
1 Kings 7:35	And on the top of the cart [was] half a cubit at the height all around circular, and on the top of the cart were its hands and its rims of the same casting.
1 Kings 7:36	And he engraved on the plates of its hands and on its rims cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the void space of each, with wreaths all around.
1 Kings 7:37	Thus he made the ten carts; one casting, one measure, one shape was for all of them.
1 Kings 7:38	And he made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths; one basin [was] four by the cubit; one basin on one cart [was] to the ten carts.
1 Kings 7:39	And he put five carts on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house, and the Sea he set on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.
1 Kings 7:40	And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls. And Huram finished doing all the work that he was to do for King Solomon [for] the house of YHWH:
1 Kings 7:41	The two pillars; and the bowl-shaped capitals that [were] on top of the two pillars; and the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals that [were] on top of the pillars;
1 Kings 7:42	and four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that [were] on top of the pillars;
1 Kings 7:43	and the ten carts; and the ten basins on the carts;
1 Kings 7:44	and the one Sea; and the twelve oxen under the Sea;
1 Kings 7:45	and the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls; and all these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon [for] the house of YHWH [were of] polished bronze.
1 Kings 7:46	In the plain of the Jordan the king had cast them in clay molds, between Succoth and between Zarethan.
1 Kings 7:47	And Solomon did not weigh all the articles; because of the exceedingly great abundance, the weight of the bronze was not determined.
1 Kings 7:48	And Solomon had made all the furnishings that [were] for the house of YHWH: The altar of gold; and the golden table on which [was] the bread of the Presence;
1 Kings 7:49	and five lampstands on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the wick trimmers, of gold;
1 Kings 7:50	and the basins, and the trimmers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges for the doors of the inner house (for the Holy of the Holies), [and] for the doors of the main hall of the house, of gold.
1 Kings 7:51	And was finished all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of YHWH. And Solomon brought in the holy things of David his father—the silver, and the gold, and the furnishings. He put them in the treasuries of the house of YHWH.
1 Kings 8:1	Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the sons of Israel, to King Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of YHWH from the City of David, that [is], Zion.
1 Kings 8:2	And all the men of Israel assembled with King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim. It [is] the seventh month.
1 Kings 8:3	And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
1 Kings 8:4	And they brought up the ark of YHWH, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy furnishings that [were] in the tabernacle. And the priests and the Levites brought them up.
1 Kings 8:5	And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him [were] with him before the face of the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.
1 Kings 8:6	And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of YHWH to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to under the wings of the cherubim.
1 Kings 8:7	For the cherubim spread forth two wings toward the place of the ark, and the cherubim and they covered over the ark and its poles from above.
1 Kings 8:8	And the poles extended so that could be seen the ends of the poles from the Holy Place upon the face of the inner sanctuary, and they could not be seen from outside; and they are there to this day.
1 Kings 8:9	Nothing [was] in the ark except the two tablets of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb when YHWH cut with the sons of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings 8:10	And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the Holy Place, that the cloud filled the house of YHWH,
1 Kings 8:11	so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of YHWH filled the house of YHWH.
1 Kings 8:12	Then spoke Solomon: “YHWH has said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
1 Kings 8:13	I have surely built an exalted house unto You, and a place for You to dwell forever.”
1 Kings 8:14	And the king turned around his face, and he blessed all the assembly of Israel, and all the assembly of Israel was standing.
1 Kings 8:15	And he said, “Blessed [be] YHWH, God of Israel, who spoke by his mouth to David my father, and by his hand He has fulfilled [it], saying,
1 Kings 8:16	‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel [in which] to build a house that My Name might be there. And I chose David to be over My people Israel.’
1 Kings 8:17	And it was with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of YHWH, God of Israel.
1 Kings 8:18	And YHWH said to David my father, ‘Because that it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.
1 Kings 8:19	Nevertheless, you shall not build the house, but rather your son who will come from your loins, he shall build the house for My Name.’
1 Kings 8:20	And YHWH has fulfilled His word that He spoke, and I have risen up in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke. And I have built the house for the name of YHWH, God of Israel.
1 Kings 8:21	And I have made a place there for the ark, in which there [is] the covenant of YHWH that He made with our fathers when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.”
1 Kings 8:22	And Solomon stood before the face of the altar of YHWH in front of all the assembly of Israel, and he spread out his hands toward the heavens.
1 Kings 8:23	And he said, “O YHWH, God of Israel, [there is] not a God like You in the heavens above or on earth below, keeping [Your] covenant and loving devotion with Your servants, those walking before You with all their heart,
1 Kings 8:24	who have kept for Your servant David my father what You spoke to him, and You have spoken with Your mouth, and with Your hand You have fulfilled [it], as this day.
1 Kings 8:25	And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant David my father what You promised to him, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man before My face sitting on the throne of Israel—only if your sons take heed to their way, that they walk before Me as you have walked before Me.’
1 Kings 8:26	And now, O God of Israel, let be proven faithful, please, Your word, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.
1 Kings 8:27	But will indeed God dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house that I have built?
1 Kings 8:28	And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before Your face today:
1 Kings 8:29	That Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My name shall be there,’ that You may listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
1 Kings 8:30	And may You listen to the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. And may You listen in the place of Your dwelling, in the heavens—and You have listened and have forgiven.
1 Kings 8:31	When a man sins against his neighbor, and is forced in it to take an oath, and comes [and] takes an oath before the face of Your altar in this house,
1 Kings 8:32	then may You hear in the heavens and act and judge Your servants, condemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving to him according to his righteousness.
1 Kings 8:33	When Your people Israel are defeated before the face of an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they turn back to You and confess Your name, and they pray and make supplication to You in this house,
1 Kings 8:34	then may You hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land that You gave to their fathers.
1 Kings 8:35	When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and from their sin they turn back because You afflict them,
1 Kings 8:36	then may You hear in the heavens and forgive the sin of Your servants and of Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk, and May you send rain on Your land that You have given to Your people as an inheritance.
1 Kings 8:37	When famine is in the land, if there is pestilence, blight, mildew, locust, [or] if there is grasshopper; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their cities—whatever plague or whatever sickness—
1 Kings 8:38	whatever prayer, any supplication, whatever is made by any man [or] by all Your people Israel when knows each one the plague of his own heart and spreads out his hands toward this house,
1 Kings 8:39	then may You hear in the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, and forgive and act and give to each man according to all his ways, of whom You know the heart. For You alone know the hearts of all the sons of man,
1 Kings 8:40	that they may fear You all the days that they live on the face of the land that You gave to our fathers.
1 Kings 8:41	And also concerning a foreigner who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far country for the sake of Your name—
1 Kings 8:42	for they will hear of Your great name and Your mighty hand and Your outstretched arm—and he comes and prays toward this house,
1 Kings 8:43	then may You hear in the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You as do Your people Israel, that they may know that Your name is called by this house that I have built,
1 Kings 8:44	when Your people go out to battle against their enemy in the way that You send them, and they pray to YHWH [in] the way of the city that You have chosen, and the house that I have built for Your name,
1 Kings 8:45	then may You hear in the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
1 Kings 8:46	When they sin against You (for [there is] no one who does not sin) and You become angry with them and deliver them before the face of the enemy, and they have taken captive their captivity to the land of the enemy far or near,
1 Kings 8:47	and they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land where they were carried captive there, and they turn back and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, saying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong; we have acted wickedly,’
1 Kings 8:48	and they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and they pray to You toward their land that You gave to their fathers, the city that You have chosen, and the house that I have built for Your name,
1 Kings 8:49	then may You hear in the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplication, and may You do their justice
1 Kings 8:50	and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions that they have transgressed against You, and may You grant them compassion before the face of those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them.
1 Kings 8:51	For they [are] Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the midst of the furnace of iron,
1 Kings 8:52	that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.
1 Kings 8:53	For You have set them apart to Yourself as an inheritance from among all the peoples of the earth, as You spoke by Moses Your servant when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord YHWH.”
1 Kings 8:54	And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying to YHWH all this prayer and supplication, that he arose from before the altar of YHWH, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to the heavens,
1 Kings 8:55	and he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel in a loud voice, saying:
1 Kings 8:56	“Blessed [be] YHWH, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised; not one word has fallen of all His good promise that He promised by the hand of Moses His servant.
1 Kings 8:57	May YHWH our God be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us and not forsake us,
1 Kings 8:58	that He may incline our hearts to Himself to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances that He commanded our fathers.
1 Kings 8:59	And may these my words with which I have made supplication before the face of YHWH, be near unto YHWH our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, the word of a day in its day,
1 Kings 8:60	that all the peoples of the earth may know that YHWH is God; [there is] no other.
1 Kings 8:61	And let your⁺ heart be complete to YHWH our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”
1 Kings 8:62	And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before the face of YHWH.
1 Kings 8:63	And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings that he offered to YHWH, twenty-two thousand bulls, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. And the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of YHWH.
1 Kings 8:64	On that day the king consecrated the middle of the court that [was] in front of the house of YHWH, for he offered there the burnt offerings and the grain offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar that [was] before YHWH [was] too small to receive the burnt offerings and the grain offerings and the fat of the peace offerings.
1 Kings 8:65	And Solomon made at that time a feast, and all Israel with him—a great assembly—from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the face of YHWH our God, seven days and seven days—fourteen days.
1 Kings 8:66	On the [fifteenth] day he sent away the people, and they blessed the king and went to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for all the good that YHWH had done for David His servant and for Israel His people.
1 Kings 9:1	And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of YHWH and the house of the king and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,
1 Kings 9:2	that YHWH appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
1 Kings 9:3	And YHWH said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me. I have consecrated this house that you have built to put My Name there even to forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there all the days.
1 Kings 9:4	And if you walk before Me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you—if you keep My statutes and My ordinances—
1 Kings 9:5	I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I spoke to David your father, saying, ‘You will not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
1 Kings 9:6	If you⁺ at all turn back, you⁺ or your⁺ sons, from following Me, and do not keep My commandments [and] My statutes that I have set before you⁺, and you⁺ go and serve other gods and worship them,
1 Kings 9:7	then I will cut off Israel from the face of the land that I have given them, and this house that I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight, and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all the peoples.
1 Kings 9:8	And this house has become a heap of rubble; everyone who passes by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Upon what has YHWH done thus to this land and to this house?’
1 Kings 9:9	And they will answer, ‘Upon that they have forsaken YHWH their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and they have embraced other gods and worshiped them and served them. Upon thus YHWH has brought on them all this calamity.’”
1 Kings 9:10	And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses—the house of YHWH and the house of the king—
1 Kings 9:11	Hiram the king of Tyre had supplied Solomon with cedar and cypress wood and gold, as much as he desired, then King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
1 Kings 9:12	And Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, and they were not right in his eyes.
1 Kings 9:13	And he said, “What [are] these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” And he called them the land of Cabul, as they are to this day.
1 Kings 9:14	And Hiram had sent to the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.
1 Kings 9:15	And this [is] the matter of the forced labor that King Solomon raised to build the house of YHWH, and his own house, and the Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
1 Kings 9:16	Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with the fire, and the Canaanite who dwelt in the city he had killed, and had given it [as] a dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon.
1 Kings 9:17	And Solomon built Gezer, and Lower Beth-horon,
1 Kings 9:18	and Baalath, and Tamar in the wilderness in the land,
1 Kings 9:19	and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and 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.
1 Kings 9:20	All the people remaining of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite (who were not of the sons of Israel)—
1 Kings 9:21	their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel had not been able to devote to destruction—and raised from these Solomon for the forced labor of serving even to this day.
1 Kings 9:22	And of the sons of Israel Solomon made none forced laborers, because they [were] men of war, and his servants, and his officers, and his captains, and commanders of his chariots, and his cavalry.
1 Kings 9:23	These [were] the chiefs of the officials who [were] over the work of Solomon, fifty-five hundred who ruled over the people who did the work.
1 Kings 9:24	However, the daughter of Pharaoh came up from the City of David to her house that he had built for her; then he built the Millo.
1 Kings 9:25	And Solomon offered three times a year burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he had built for YHWH, and he burned incense with them on that which [was] before the face of YHWH. And he finished the house.
1 Kings 9:26	And King Solomon built a fleet at Ezion-geber, which [is] near Eloth on the shore of the Red Sea in the land of Edom.
1 Kings 9:27	And Hiram sent with the ships his servants, men of ships who knew the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
1 Kings 9:28	And they went to Ophir and acquired from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and they brought it to King Solomon.
1 Kings 10:1	And the queen of Sheba heard the report of Solomon concerning the name of YHWH, and she came to test him with difficult questions.
1 Kings 10:2	And she came to Jerusalem with a very great company, with camels that bore spices, and very much gold, and precious stones. And she came to Solomon, and she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.
1 Kings 10:3	And Solomon answered to her all her matters; there was not a thing so difficult for the king, that he could not explain [it] to her.
1 Kings 10:4	And the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
1 Kings 10:5	and the food on his table, and the seating of his servants, and the service of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he offered up to the house of YHWH. And there was no breath in her anymore.
1 Kings 10:6	And she said to the king, “True was the word that I heard in my land about your words and your wisdom.
1 Kings 10:7	I did not believe the words until that I came and my eyes saw, and indeed it was not told to me the half; you have added wisdom and prosperity to the report that I heard.
1 Kings 10:8	Blessed [are] your men! Blessed [are] your servants, these who stand before you continually hearing your wisdom!
1 Kings 10:9	YHWH your God be blessed, who delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel, because YHWH has loved Israel forever, and He has appointed you king to do justice and righteousness.”
1 Kings 10:10	And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices very many, and precious stones. There never came spice like that again in such abundance that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.
1 Kings 10:11	(And the ships of Hiram, which brought gold from Ophir, brought from Ophir very much almug wood, and precious stones.
1 Kings 10:12	And the king made the steps of almug wood for the house of YHWH, and for the house of the king, and harps and stringed instruments for the singers. There never came again such almug wood, nor has been seen to this day.)
1 Kings 10:13	And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she asked, besides what had been given to her according to the hand of king Solomon. And she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
1 Kings 10:14	And the weight of the gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred sixty-six talents of gold,
1 Kings 10:15	besides [that] from the men—tourists—and from the merchandise of the traders, and from all the kings of Arabia, and from the governors of the country.
1 Kings 10:16	And King Solomon made two hundred large shields of hammered gold; six hundred [shekels] of gold went into one shield.
1 Kings 10:17	And [he made] three hundred shields of hammered gold; three minas of gold went into one shield. And the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon.
1 Kings 10:18	And the king made a great throne of ivory, and he overlaid it with pure gold.
1 Kings 10:19	Six steps [were] to the throne, and the round top of the throne [was] at the back, and [were] armrests on this side and on this side of the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the armrests.
1 Kings 10:20	And twelve lions stood there on the six steps, on this side and on this side. Nothing had been made like [this] for any kingdoms.
1 Kings 10:21	And all the drinking vessels of King Solomon [were] gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon [were] pure gold. Not [one was] silver—it was not accounted in the days of Solomon as anything.
1 Kings 10:22	For ships of Tarshish [were] unto the king at sea with the ships of Hiram. Once in three years came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
1 Kings 10:23	And King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
1 Kings 10:24	And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom that God had put in his heart.
1 Kings 10:25	And they brought, each man, his present, articles of silver and gold, and garments, and armor, and spices, horses and mules, the matter of year after year.
1 Kings 10:26	And Solomon gathered chariots and horses, and were unto him a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horses, and he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.
1 Kings 10:27	And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees he made as abundant as the sycamores that [are] in the Shephelah.
1 Kings 10:28	And were imported the horses that [were] to Solomon from Egypt and Kue; merchants of the king bought them from Kue at a price.
1 Kings 10:29	And a chariot came up and came out from Egypt for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And thus to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram, by their hand they brought [them] out.
1 Kings 11:1	And King Solomon loved many foreign women as well as the daughter of Pharaoh—Moabitesses, Ammonitesses, Edomitesses, Sidonianesses, [and] Hittitesses—
1 Kings 11:2	from the nations of whom YHWH had said to the sons of Israel, “You⁺ must not enter into them and they must not enter into you⁺; surely they will stretch away your⁺ hearts after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love.
1 Kings 11:3	And there were unto him seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives stretched away his heart.
1 Kings 11:4	And it was, at the time of the old age of Solomon, that his wives stretched his heart after other gods, and his heart was not loyal to YHWH his God like the heart of David his father.
1 Kings 11:5	And Solomon walked after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1 Kings 11:6	And Solomon did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and [he was] not fully after YHWH like David his father.
1 Kings 11:7	Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that [is] on the front of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the sons of Ammon.
1 Kings 11:8	And likewise he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
1 Kings 11:9	And YHWH became angry with Solomon, because his heart had stretched from YHWH, God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.
1 Kings 11:10	And He had commanded to him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. And he did not keep what YHWH had commanded.
1 Kings 11:11	And YHWH said to Solomon, “Because that you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and give it to your servant.
1 Kings 11:12	Nevertheless in your days I will not do it, for the sake of David your father. From the hand of your son I will tear it.
1 Kings 11:13	However all the kingdom I will not tear away. One tribe I will give to your son for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
1 Kings 11:14	And YHWH raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he [was] from the seed of the king in Edom.
1 Kings 11:15	And it came to pass in David being in Edom, in the going up of Joab the commander of the army to bury the slain, that he had struck down every male in Edom—
1 Kings 11:16	for six months Joab had remained there, and all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom—
1 Kings 11:17	and Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of the servants of his father with him, to go to Egypt. And Hadad [was] a young boy.
1 Kings 11:18	And they arose from Midian and came to Paran. And they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt. And he gave to him a house, and he ordered food for him, and gave land to him.
1 Kings 11:19	And Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, so that he gave to him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.
1 Kings 11:20	And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him Genubath his son, and Tahpenes weaned him in the midst of the house of Pharaoh; and Genubath was in the house of Pharaoh in the midst of the sons of Pharaoh.
1 Kings 11:21	And Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead. And Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own land.”
1 Kings 11:22	And Pharaoh said to him, “But what are you lacking with me, that suddenly you seek to go to your own land?” And he answered, “Nothing, but you must surely send me away.”
1 Kings 11:23	And God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon son of Eliada, who had fled from Hadadezer king of Zobah his lord.
1 Kings 11:24	And he gathered to him men and became captain of a troop, when David killed them; and they went to Damascus and dwelt in it, and they made him king in Damascus.
1 Kings 11:25	And He was an adversary of Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the trouble that [was] of Hadad. And he abhorred Israel and reigned over Aram.
1 Kings 11:26	And Jeroboam son of Nebat [was] an Ephraimite from Zereda—the name of his mother [was] Zeruah, a widow, and a servant of Solomon—and he lifted up a hand against the king.
1 Kings 11:27	And this [is] the thing [for] which he lifted up a hand against the king: Solomon had built the Millo [and] he had closed up the breach of the city of David his father.
1 Kings 11:28	And the man Jeroboam [was] mighty in valor. And Solomon saw the young man, that he was doing business, and he appointed him over all the forced labor of the house of Joseph.
1 Kings 11:29	And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, and Ahijah the Shilonite, the prophet, met him on the way. And he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two [were] alone in the field.
1 Kings 11:30	And Ahijah took hold of the new garment that [was] on him and tore it [into] twelve pieces.
1 Kings 11:31	And he said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself ten pieces. For thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give to you ten tribes.
1 Kings 11:32	And one tribe he shall have for the sake of My servant David and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel,
1 Kings 11:33	because that they have forsaken Me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways, to do right in My eyes, and My statutes and My ordinances, as David his father [did].
1 Kings 11:34	And I will not take all the kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of David My servant, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes;
1 Kings 11:35	and I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son and give it to you—ten tribes.
1 Kings 11:36	And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may be a lamp to David My servant all the days before Me in Jerusalem, the city that I have chosen for Myself to put My name there.
1 Kings 11:37	And you I will take, and you shall reign over all that your heart desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
1 Kings 11:38	And it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, and walk in My ways, and do right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commandments as did David My servant, I will be with you and I will build for you an enduring house, as I built for David, and I will give to you Israel.
1 Kings 11:39	And I will afflict the seed of David on account of this, but not all the days.’”
1 Kings 11:40	And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, and Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt; and he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
1 Kings 11:41	And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the Book of the Acts of Solomon?
1 Kings 11:42	And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
1 Kings 11:43	And Solomon rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 12:1	And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king.
1 Kings 12:2	And it came to pass, when Jeroboam son of Nebat heard [it], he [was] still in Egypt—for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon, and Jeroboam had been dwelling in Egypt—
1 Kings 12:3	and they sent and called to him, and came Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
1 Kings 12:4	“Your father made heavy our yoke, and you now, lighten the burdensome service of your father and his heavy yoke that he put on us—and we will serve you.”
1 Kings 12:5	And he said to them, “Depart yet [for] three days, and come back to me.” And the people departed.
1 Kings 12:6	And King Rehoboam counseled with the elders who had been standing before Solomon his father while he still lived, and he said, “How do you⁺ counsel [me] to return an answer to this people?”
1 Kings 12:7	And they spoke to him, saying, “If today you will be a servant to this people, and serve them and answer them, and speak to them good words, then they will be servants to you all the days.”
1 Kings 12:8	And he rejected the counsel of the elders that they counseled him, and he counseled with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before his face.
1 Kings 12:9	And he said to them, “What do you⁺ counsel that we should return as an answer to this people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten of the yoke that your father put on us’?”
1 Kings 12:10	And spoke to him the young men who had grown up with him, saying, “Thus you should speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, ‘Your father made heavy our yoke, and you make [it] lighter on us.’ Thus you shall say to them: ‘My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
1 Kings 12:11	And now my father put on you⁺ a heavy yoke, and I will add to your⁺ yoke. My father scourged you⁺ with whips, and I will scourge you⁺ with scorpions.’”
1 Kings 12:12	And came Jeroboam and all the people to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had directed, saying, “Come back to me the third day.”
1 Kings 12:13	And the king answered the people harshly, and he rejected the counsel of the elders that they had counseled him.
1 Kings 12:14	And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, “My father made heavy your⁺ yoke, and I will add to your⁺ yoke. My father scourged you⁺ with whips, and I will scourge you⁺ with scorpions.”
1 Kings 12:15	And the king did not listen to the people, for the turning was from YHWH, that He might fulfill His word that YHWH had spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
1 Kings 12:16	And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people returned the answer to the king, saying, “What portion have we in David? And [there is] no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, O David!” And Israel departed to their tents.
1 Kings 12:17	And the sons of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
1 Kings 12:18	And King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who [was] in charge of the revenue. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. And King Rehoboam strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem.
1 Kings 12:19	And Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.
1 Kings 12:20	And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and they made him king over all Israel. There was none who followed the house of David, except the tribe of Judah alone.
1 Kings 12:21	And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand who were chosen warriors to fight against the house of Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam son of Solomon.
1 Kings 12:22	And the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
1 Kings 12:23	“Speak to Rehoboam son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, saying,
1 Kings 12:24	thus says YHWH: ‘You⁺ shall not go up nor fight against your⁺ brothers the sons of Israel. And let return every man to his house, for from Me this thing is.’” And they listened to the word of YHWH and turned back to depart, according to the word of YHWH.
1 Kings 12:25	And Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and dwelt there. And he went out from there and built Penuel.
1 Kings 12:26	And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the kingdom may return to the house of David.
1 Kings 12:27	If this people goes up to offer sacrifices in the house of YHWH at Jerusalem, the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.”
1 Kings 12:28	The king and took counsel and made two calves of gold, and he said to them, “It is too much for you⁺ to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
1 Kings 12:29	And he set up one in Bethel, and one he put in Dan.
1 Kings 12:30	And this thing became a sin, for the people went before the face of one [of the calves] as far as Dan [to worship].
1 Kings 12:31	And He made shrines on the high places, and he made priests from the ends of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
1 Kings 12:32	And Jeroboam ordained a feast of the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast that [was] in Judah, and he offered sacrifices on the altar. Thus he did at Bethel, sacrificing to the calves that he had made, and he caused to stand in Bethel the priests of the high places that he had made.
1 Kings 12:33	And he made offerings on the altar that he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month that he had devised in his own heart, and he ordained a feast for the sons of Israel and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense.
1 Kings 13:1	And behold, a man of God went from Judah by the word of YHWH to Bethel. And Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
1 Kings 13:2	And he cried out against the altar by the word of YHWH, and he said, “O altar, O altar, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and bones of man shall be burned on you.’”
1 Kings 13:3	And he gave that day a sign, saying, “This [is] the sign that YHWH has spoken: ‘Behold, the altar shall be split apart, and the ashes shall be poured out that [are] on it.’”
1 Kings 13:4	And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” And his hand withered that he stretched out toward him, so that he could not pull it back to himself.
1 Kings 13:5	And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of YHWH.
1 Kings 13:6	And the king answered and said to the man of God, “Entreat, please, the favor of YHWH your God and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me.” And entreated the man of God before the face of YHWH, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it was as at first.
1 Kings 13:7	And the king said to the man of God, “Come in with me to the house and refresh yourself, and I will give to you a reward.”
1 Kings 13:8	And the man of God said to the king, “If you were to give to me half of your house, I would not go in with you, nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place.
1 Kings 13:9	For so it was commanded me by the word of YHWH, saying, ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way that you came.’”
1 Kings 13:10	And he went another way and did not return by the way that he had come in to Bethel.
1 Kings 13:11	And an old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came in and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel—the words that he had spoken to the king. And they told their father.
1 Kings 13:12	And their father said to them, “Where [is] this—the way he has gone?” For his sons showed him the way that the man of God had gone, who came from Judah.
1 Kings 13:13	And he said to his sons, “Saddle for me the donkey.” And they saddled for him the donkey, and he rode on it,
1 Kings 13:14	and he went after the man of God and found him sitting under the oak. And he said to him, “[Are] you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he said, “I [am].”
1 Kings 13:15	And he said to him, “Come with me to the house and eat bread.”
1 Kings 13:16	And he said, “I cannot return with you or go in with you, nor can I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.
1 Kings 13:17	For I have been told by the word of YHWH, ‘You shall not eat bread, nor drink there water, nor return by going the way that you came in.’”
1 Kings 13:18	And He said to him, “I [am] also a prophet as you [are], and an angel spoke to me by the word of YHWH, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He was lying to him.
1 Kings 13:19	And he went back with him and ate bread in his house, and he drank water.
1 Kings 13:20	And it came to pass as they sat at the table, that the word of YHWH came to the prophet who had brought him back,
1 Kings 13:21	and he cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Because that you have disobeyed the word of YHWH and have not kept the commandment that YHWH your God commanded you—
1 Kings 13:22	and you returned and ate bread and drank water in the place of which He said to you: You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water—your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
1 Kings 13:23	And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the donkey, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1 Kings 13:24	And he went, and a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his corpse was thrown on the road. And the donkey stood by it, and the lion stood by the corpse.
1 Kings 13:25	And behold, men passed by and saw the corpse thrown on the road and the lion standing by the corpse. And they went and told [it] in the city in which the old prophet dwelt.
1 Kings 13:26	And the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard [it], and he said, “It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient to the word of YHWH. And YHWH has delivered him to the lion, and it has torn him and killed him according to the word of YHWH that He spoke to him.”
1 Kings 13:27	And he spoke to his sons, saying, “Saddle for me the donkey.” And they saddled [it].
1 Kings 13:28	And he went and found his corpse thrown on the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn into pieces the donkey.
1 Kings 13:29	And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God and laid it on the donkey, and he brought it back. And the old prophet came to the city to mourn and to bury him.
1 Kings 13:30	And he laid the corpse in his own tomb, and they mourned over him: “Alas, my brother!”
1 Kings 13:31	And it was after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God [is] buried. Beside his bones lay my bones.
1 Kings 13:32	For the word will surely come to pass that he cried out by the word of YHWH against the altar that [is] in Bethel, and against all the shrines on the high places which [are] in the cities of Samaria.”
1 Kings 13:33	After this matter, Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, and he turned back and made from the ends of the people priests for the high places. The desiring one would fill his hand and he would become one of the priests of the high places.
1 Kings 13:34	And this thing became sin of the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it] off and destroy [it] from the face of the earth.
1 Kings 14:1	At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became sick.
1 Kings 14:2	And Jeroboam said to his wife, “Arise, please, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize that you are the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Behold, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spoke concerning me as king over this people.
1 Kings 14:3	And take with you ten loaves, and [some] cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child.”
1 Kings 14:4	And the wife of Jeroboam did so, and she arose and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. And Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were glazed because of his age.
1 Kings 14:5	And YHWH had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from you about her son, for he [is] sick. This and this you shall say to her, and it will come to pass when she comes in that she will be disguised.”
1 Kings 14:6	And it came to pass, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, that he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why [is] this [that] you are disguised? For I am sent to you with a harsh thing.
1 Kings 14:7	Go, tell Jeroboam, thus says YHWH, God of Israel, ‘Because that I exalted you from the midst of the people and made you ruler over My people Israel,
1 Kings 14:8	and I tore away the kingdom from the house of David and gave it to you, and you have not been as My servant David who kept My commandments and who followed Me with all his heart, to do only right in My eyes—
1 Kings 14:9	and you have done evil more than all who were before you, and for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images, to provoke Me to anger, and you have cast Me behind your back—
1 Kings 14:10	therefore behold, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam: And I will cut off from Jeroboam he who urinates against the wall, bond and free, in Israel, and I will burn up the remnant of the house of Jeroboam as one burns up the dung until it is gone.
1 Kings 14:11	Whoever dies of Jeroboam in the city the dogs shall eat, and whoever dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.’ For YHWH has spoken.
1 Kings 14:12	And you arise, go to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
1 Kings 14:13	And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for this [is] the only one who shall come of Jeroboam to the grave, because there is found in him something good toward YHWH, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
1 Kings 14:14	And YHWH will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This [is] the day—and what? Even now!
1 Kings 14:15	For YHWH will strike Israel as the reed is shaken in the waters, and He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave to their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the River upon that they have made their Asherah poles, which provoked to anger YHWH.
1 Kings 14:16	And He will give up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam, who sinned, and who caused Israel to sin.”
1 Kings 14:17	And the wife of Jeroboam arose and departed and came to Tirzah; she was entering to the threshold of the house, and the child died.
1 Kings 14:18	And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him according to the word of YHWH, which He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.
1 Kings 14:19	And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold, they [are] written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Days of the Kings of Israel.
1 Kings 14:20	And the days that Jeroboam reigned [were] twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 14:21	And Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam [was] a son of forty-one years in his reigning, and seventeen years he reigned in Jerusalem, the city that YHWH had chosen to put His name in it out of all the tribes of Israel. And the name of his mother [was] Naamah, the Ammonitess.
1 Kings 14:22	And Judah did evil in the eyes of YHWH, and they provoked Him to jealousy more than all that their fathers had done by their sins that they sinned.
1 Kings 14:23	For they even built for themselves high places, and pillars, and Asherah poles, on every high hill and under every green tree.
1 Kings 14:24	And also there were male shrine prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that YHWH had cast out before the sons of Israel.
1 Kings 14:25	And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, [that] Shishak King of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
1 Kings 14:26	And he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king. And he took the entirety, and he took all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
1 Kings 14:27	And King Rehoboam made in their place bronze shields and committed [them] to the hands of the captains of the guards who guarded the doorway of the house of the king.
1 Kings 14:28	And whenever the king entered the house of YHWH, the guards carried them and brought them back into the chamber guardroom.
1 Kings 14:29	And the rest of the acts of Rehoboam and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
1 Kings 14:30	And there was war between Rehoboam and between Jeroboam all the days.
1 Kings 14:31	And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And the name of his mother [was] Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:1	And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
1 Kings 15:2	He reigned in Jerusalem three years. And the name of his mother [was] Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:3	And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before his face, and his heart was not complete with YHWH his God as was the heart of David his father.
1 Kings 15:4	Nevertheless, for the sake of David, YHWH his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, by setting up his son after him, and by establishing Jerusalem,
1 Kings 15:5	in that David did right in the eyes of YHWH and did not turn aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
1 Kings 15:6	And there was war between Rehoboam and between Jeroboam all the days of his life.
1 Kings 15:7	And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and between Jeroboam.
1 Kings 15:8	And Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 15:9	And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign as king of Judah.
1 Kings 15:10	And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings 15:11	And Asa did right in the eyes of YHWH, like David his father.
1 Kings 15:12	And he banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land, and he removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
1 Kings 15:13	And he removed Maacah his mother as queen mother, because she had made a repulsive image of Asherah. And Asa cut down the repulsive image and burned [it] in the Valley of Kidron.
1 Kings 15:14	And the high places were not removed; nevertheless the heart of Asa was completely with YHWH all his days.
1 Kings 15:15	And He brought the holy things of his father and the holy things for the house of YHWH, silver, and gold, and vessels.
1 Kings 15:16	And war there was between Asa and between Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1 Kings 15:17	And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and he built up Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
1 Kings 15:18	And Asa took all the silver and the gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of YHWH and the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion, King of Aram, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,
1 Kings 15:19	“a covenant [be] between me and between you, as there was between my father and between your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will go up from me.”

1 Kings 17:3	“Go from this [place] and turn for yourself eastward, and hide by the Brook of Cherith that [is] on the face of the Jordan.
1 Kings 17:4	And it will come to pass [that] you shall drink from the brook, and the ravens I have commanded to sustain you there.”

1 Kings 17:8	And the word of YHWH came to him, saying,
1 Kings 17:9	“Arise, go to Zarephath, which [is] unto Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded there a widow woman to provide for you.”
1 Kings 17:10	And he arose and went to Zarephath. And he came to the gate of the city, and behold, there a widow, woman, [was] gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, “Please bring me a little water in the vessel, that I may drink.”
1 Kings 17:11	And she was going to get [it], and he called to her and said, “Please bring me a morsel of bread in your hand.”
1 Kings 17:12	And she said, “As YHWH your God lives, there is unto me no bread, but only the fullness of a palm of flour in the jar, and a little oil in the jug. And behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it and die.”
1 Kings 17:13	And Elijah said to her, “Fear not. Go, do according to your word. However, make for me from it a small cake first, and bring [it] to me. And for yourself and your son, make [some] afterward.
1 Kings 17:14	For thus says YHWH, God of Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall not be used up, and the jug of the oil shall not run dry, until the day of YHWH giving rain on the face of the earth.’”

1 Kings 17:16	The jar of the flour was not used up, and the jug of the oil did not run dry, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke by Elijah.
1 Kings 17:17	And it came to pass after these things, [that] the son of the woman who owned the house became sick. And his sickness was very strong, so that no breath remained in him.
1 Kings 17:18	And she said to Elijah, “What to me and to you, O man of God? Have you come to me to bring to remembrance my sin and to kill my son?”
1 Kings 17:19	And he said to her, “Give to me your son.” And he took him out of her arms and carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and he laid him down on his own bed.
1 Kings 17:20	And he cried out to YHWH and said, “O YHWH my God, also on the widow with whom I lodge, have You brought tragedy by killing her son?”
1 Kings 17:21	And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and he cried out to YHWH and said, “O YHWH my God, let come back, please, the soul of this child into his midst.”
1 Kings 17:22	And YHWH listened to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the child came back into his midst, and he revived.
1 Kings 17:23	And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and he gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, “See, your son lives.”
1 Kings 17:24	And the woman said to Elijah, “Now [by] this I know that you [are] a man of God, and the word of YHWH in your mouth [is] the truth.”
1 Kings 18:1	And [after] many days it came to pass that the word of YHWH came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.”
1 Kings 18:2	And Elijah went to appear to Ahab. And the famine [was] severe in Samaria.
1 Kings 18:3	And Ahab called to Obadiah, who [was] over the house. (And Obadiah was one who feared YHWH greatly,
1 Kings 18:4	for it was in Jezebel cutting off the prophets of YHWH, that Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty men to a cave, and he sustained them with bread and water.)
1 Kings 18:5	And Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go into the land, to all the springs of the waters and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and keep alive the horses and mules, so that we will not have to cut off any livestock.”
1 Kings 18:6	And they divided between them the land to explore it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went one way by himself.
1 Kings 18:7	And Obadiah was on the way, and behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, “[Are] you this one—my lord Elijah?”
1 Kings 18:8	And he answered him, “[It is] I. Go, tell your master, ‘Behold, Elijah.’”
1 Kings 18:9	And he said, “How have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
1 Kings 18:10	[As] YHWH your God lives, there is neither nation nor kingdom where my master has not sent to hunt for you. And they said, ‘[He is] not [here].’ And from the kingdom or the nation he took an oath that they could not find you.
1 Kings 18:11	And you say, ‘Go, tell your master: Behold, Elijah!’
1 Kings 18:12	And it shall come to pass when I am gone from you, that the Spirit of YHWH will carry you to a place [that] I know not. And when I go [and] tell Ahab, and he does not find you, he will kill me. And I your servant have feared YHWH from my youth.
1 Kings 18:13	Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of YHWH, that I hid of the prophets of YHWH, a hundred men, fifty [by] fifty in the cave, and I sustained them with bread and water?
1 Kings 18:14	And you say, ‘Go, tell your master: Behold, Elijah.’ And He will kill me!”
1 Kings 18:15	And Elijah said, “[As] YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely today present myself to him.”
1 Kings 18:16	And Obadiah went to meet Ahab and reported to him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
1 Kings 18:17	And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, “[Are] you he, O troubler of Israel?”
1 Kings 18:18	And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but rather you and the house of your father have, in your⁺ forsaking the commandments of YHWH and following after the Baals.
1 Kings 18:19	And now send, gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and the four hundred and fifty prophets of the Baal, and the four hundred prophets of Asherah who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
1 Kings 18:20	And Ahab sent for all the sons of Israel, and he gathered together the prophets to Mount Carmel.
1 Kings 18:21	And Elijah came to all the people and said, “Until when will you⁺ pass over between the two opinions? If YHWH [is] God, follow him; but if the Baal, follow him.” And the people did not answer Him a word.
1 Kings 18:22	And Elijah said to the people, “I am left, a prophet of YHWH, alone. And the prophets of the Baal [are] four hundred and fifty men.
1 Kings 18:23	And let them give to us two bulls, and let them choose for themselves one bull, and let them cut it into pieces, and let them set it on the wood, and they will not set a fire. And I will prepare one bull and lay [it] on the wood, I will not set a fire.
1 Kings 18:24	And you⁺ call on the name of your⁺ gods, and I will call on the name of YHWH. And the God who answers by the fire, He [is] God.” And all the people answered and said, “Well spoken.”
1 Kings 18:25	And Elijah said to the prophets of the Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare [it] first, for you⁺ [are] many. And call on the name of your⁺ god, and do not set a fire.”
1 Kings 18:26	And they took the bull that was given to them, and they prepared [it] and called on the name of the Baal from the morning and until the noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us.” And [there was] no voice, and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar that they had made.
1 Kings 18:27	And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, “Call out in a louder voice, for he [is] a god. Either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, [or] perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.”
1 Kings 18:28	And they called out in a loud voice, and they cut themselves according to their custom with the swords and with the spears, until the blood gushed out over them.
1 Kings 18:29	And when was past the noon they prophesied until the going up of the sacrifice, and [there was] no voice, and no one answered, and no one paid attention.
1 Kings 18:30	And Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me.” And all the people came near to him, and he repaired the altar of YHWH that had been torn down.
1 Kings 18:31	And Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of YHWH had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
1 Kings 18:32	And he built with the stones an altar in the name of YHWH, and he made a trench like the house of two seahs of seed around the altar.
1 Kings 18:33	And he arranged the wood, and he cut into pieces the bull and laid [it] on the wood.
1 Kings 18:34	And he said, “Fill four pitchers, waterpots, and pour [it] on the burnt offering and on the wood.” And he said, “Do [it] a second time.” And they did [it] a second time. And he said, “Do [it] a third time.” And they did [it] a third time.
1 Kings 18:35	And the water ran around the altar, and even the trench he filled with water.
1 Kings 18:36	And it came to pass at the going up of the sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O YHWH, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it this day be known that You [are] God in Israel, and I [am] Your servant, and at Your word I have done all these things.
1 Kings 18:37	Answer me, O YHWH! Answer me, that this people may know that You [are] YHWH God, and You have turned their hearts back again.”
1 Kings 18:38	And the fire fell of YHWH and consumed the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust. And the water that [was] in the trench it licked up.
1 Kings 18:39	And all the people saw [it], and they fell on their faces and said, “YHWH, He [is] God! YHWH, He [is] God!”
1 Kings 18:40	And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of the Baal! Let not a man escape of them.” And they seized them, and Elijah brought them down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered them there.
1 Kings 18:41	And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the roar of the rain.”
1 Kings 18:42	And Ahab went up to eat and drink, and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel. And he bowed down on the ground and put his face between his knees,
1 Kings 18:43	and he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the way the sea.” And he went up and looked and said, “[There is] not anything.” And he said, “Go again,” seven times.
1 Kings 18:44	And it came to pass on the seventh [time] that he said, “There is a cloud as small as the palm of man rising out of the sea.” And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness and go down, and do not let the rain restrain you.’”
1 Kings 18:45	And it came to pass in the meantime thus, and in the meantime the heavens became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. And Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.
1 Kings 18:46	And the hand of YHWH came upon Elijah, and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
1 Kings 19:1	And Ahab declared to Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and also all that he had killed—all the prophets—with the sword.
1 Kings 19:2	And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus may do the gods, and thus may they add, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life as the life of one of them.”
1 Kings 19:3	And he feared, and he arose, and ran for his life, and he came to Beersheba, which [is] unto Judah, and he left his servant there.
1 Kings 19:4	And he went into the wilderness a journey of a day, and he came and sat down under a certain broom tree, and he prayed for himself that he might die, and he said, “Enough now, YHWH, take my life; for I [am] no better than my fathers.”
1 Kings 19:5	And he lay down and slept under a certain broom tree. And behold this, an angel touched him and said to him, “Arise [and] eat.”
1 Kings 19:6	And he looked, and behold, by his head [was] a cake of glowing coals, and a jar of water. And he ate and drank and returned and lay down.
1 Kings 19:7	And the angel of YHWH came back the second [time], and he touched him and said, “Arise [and] eat, because the journey [is] too great for you.”
1 Kings 19:8	And he arose and ate and drank, and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, as far as the mountain of God—Horeb.
1 Kings 19:9	And he went there into a cave and spent the night in that place. And behold, the word of YHWH [came] to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
1 Kings 19:10	And he said, “I have been extremely zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts. For the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant; they have torn down Your altars and have killed Your prophets with the sword, and I am left alone, and they are seeking my life, to take it.”
1 Kings 19:11	And He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the face of YHWH, and behold, YHWH is about to pass by.” And a wind great and mighty tore into the mountains, and broke in pieces the cliffs before the face of YHWH—YHWH [was] not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake—YHWH [was] not in the earthquake.
1 Kings 19:12	And after the earthquake a fire—YHWH [was] not in the fire. And after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings 19:13	And it came to pass when Elijah heard [it], that he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, to him [was] a voice, and it said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
1 Kings 19:14	And he said, “I have been extremely zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant. They have torn down Your altars and have killed Your prophets with the sword. And I am left alone, and they are seeking my life to take it.”
1 Kings 19:15	And YHWH said to him, “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus. And When you arrive, anoint Hazael [as] king over Aram.
1 Kings 19:16	And Jehu son of Nimshi you shall anoint [as] king over Israel. And Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel-meholah you shall anoint [as] prophet in your place.
1 Kings 19:17	And it shall come to pass [that] whoever escapes the sword of Hazael will be killed [by] Jehu, and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu will be killed [by] Elisha.
1 Kings 19:18	And I have reserved in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to the Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
1 Kings 19:19	And he departed from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat, and he [was] plowing with twelve yoke before his face, and he [was] with the twelfth. And Elijah passed by him and threw his cloak on him.
1 Kings 19:20	And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and he said, “Let me kiss, please, my father and my mother, and I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
1 Kings 19:21	And he turned back from him and took the yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. And with the instruments of oxen he cooked their flesh and gave [it] to the people, and they ate. And he arose and followed after Elijah and became his servant.
1 Kings 20:1	Now Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered together all his forces, and thirty-two kings with him, and horse and chariot. And he went up and laid siege against Samaria and made war against it.
1 Kings 20:2	And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
1 Kings 20:3	and he said to him, “Thus says Ben-hadad: ‘Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and loveliest children are mine.’”
1 Kings 20:4	And the king of Israel answered and said, “According to your word, My lord, the king, unto you [are] I and all that I have.”
1 Kings 20:5	And the messengers returned and said, “Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying: ‘Surely I have sent to you, saying: Your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children, you shall deliver to me.
1 Kings 20:6	But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house and the houses of your servants, and it will come to pass [that] whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will put [it] in their hands and take [it].’”
1 Kings 20:7	And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, “Know, please, and see that this one seeks evil, for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not withhold from him.”
1 Kings 20:8	And all the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen and do not consent.”
1 Kings 20:9	And he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant the first time, I will do; and this thing I cannot do.’” And the messengers departed, and brought back to him word.
1 Kings 20:10	And Ben-hadad sent to him and said, “Thus may the gods do to me, and thus more, if the dust of Samaria is left for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.”
1 Kings 20:11	And the king of Israel answered and said, “Declare: ‘Let not him who is girding boast as him who is loosing.’”
1 Kings 20:12	And it came to pass at the hearing of this word—and he was drinking, he and the kings, in the booths—that he said to his servants, “Set yourselves.” And they set themselves against the city.
1 Kings 20:13	And behold, one prophet approached unto Ahab king of Israel and said, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today, and you shall know that I [am] YHWH.’”
1 Kings 20:14	And Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said, “Thus says YHWH: ‘By the young men of the commanders of the provinces.’” And he said, “Who will direct the battle?” And he answered, “You.”
1 Kings 20:15	And he mustered by the young men of the commanders of the provinces, and there were two hundred and thirty-two, and after them he mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
1 Kings 20:16	And they went out at noon while Ben-hadad was getting drunk at the command post—he and the kings, thirty-two kings helping him.
1 Kings 20:17	And the young men of the commanders of the provinces went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out, and they reported to him, saying, “Men are coming out of Samaria.”
1 Kings 20:18	And he said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive. And if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
1 Kings 20:19	And these went out of the city—the young men of the commanders of the provinces—and the army that [was] after them.
1 Kings 20:20	And they struck down each man his man, and Aram fled. And Israel pursued them, and Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
1 Kings 20:21	And the king of Israel went out and attacked the horse and the chariot, and he struck among the Aramaeans a great slaughter.
1 Kings 20:22	And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself and take note, and see what you should do. For at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you.”
1 Kings 20:23	And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods [are] gods of the hills; upon thus they were stronger than we. But if we fight against them in the plain, will we not surely be stronger than they?
1 Kings 20:24	And do this thing: Dismiss the kings, each from his place, and set governors in their places,
1 Kings 20:25	and you shall muster to you an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. And we will fight against them in the plain. Will we not surely be stronger than they?” And he listened to their voice and did so.
1 Kings 20:26	And it was at the return of the year, and Ben-hadad mustered the Aramaeans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
1 Kings 20:27	And the sons of Israel were mustered and were sustained, and they went against them. And the sons of Israel encamped before them like two small flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans filled the countryside.
1 Kings 20:28	And came a man of God and spoke to the king of Israel and said, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Because that the Aramaeans have said [that] YHWH [is] God of the hills, and He [is] not God of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you⁺ shall know that I [am] YHWH.’”
1 Kings 20:29	And encamped these opposite these [for] seven days. And it came to pass on the seventh day that the battle drew near. And the sons of Israel struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
1 Kings 20:30	And the rest fled to Aphek into the city, and a wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. And Ben-hadad fled and went into the city, into an inner chamber.
1 Kings 20:31	And his servants said to him, “Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel, that they are merciful kings. Let us put, please, sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads, and we will go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
1 Kings 20:32	And they wore sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, and they came to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please let my soul live.’” And he said, “Is he still alive? He [is] my brother.”
1 Kings 20:33	And the men were watching closely, and they quickly grasped it from him and said, “Your brother Ben-hadad.” And he said, “Go, bring him.” And Ben-hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into the chariot.
1 Kings 20:34	And he said to him, “The cities that my father took from your father, I will restore, and you may set up streets for yourself in Damascus as my father set up in Samaria. And I will send you away by the covenant.” And he made with him a covenant and sent him away.
1 Kings 20:35	And a man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of YHWH, “Strike me, please.” And the man refused to strike him.
1 Kings 20:36	And he said to him, “Because that you have not obeyed the voice of YHWH, surely as soon as you depart from me, a lion will strike you.” And he left him, and a lion found him and struck him.
1 Kings 20:37	And he found another man and said, “Strike me, please.” And the man struck him, striking and wounding.
1 Kings 20:38	And the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and he disguised himself with the covering over his eyes.
1 Kings 20:39	And it came to pass, as the king was passing by, that he cried out to the king and said, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and there a man came over and brought to me a man, and he said, ‘Guard this man. If he goes missing for any reason, then your life will be in place of his life, or else a talent of silver you must weigh out.’
1 Kings 20:40	And it came to pass [that] your servant working here and there, and he was not there.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So [is] your judgment; you have determined.”
1 Kings 20:41	And he hurried and turned aside the covering from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he [was] one of the prophets.
1 Kings 20:42	And he said to him, “Thus says YHWH, ‘Because you have sent away a man I had devoted to destruction, out of the hand your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’”
1 Kings 20:43	And the king of Israel went to his house, sullen and angry, and he came to Samaria.
1 Kings 21:1	And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard that [was] in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1 Kings 21:2	And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give to me your vineyard, and it will be to me for a garden of green herbs, because it [is] nearby my house. And I will give to you in its place a better vineyard than it. [Or] if it is good in your eyes, I will give to you silver of the price of this one.”
1 Kings 21:3	And Naboth said to Ahab, “Far be it from me, by YHWH, to give the inheritance of my fathers to you.”
1 Kings 21:4	And Ahab went into his house sullen and angry because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him. For he had said, “I will not give to you the inheritance of my fathers.” And he lay down on his bed, and he turned away his face and would not eat food.
1 Kings 21:5	And Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, “Why [is] this [that] your spirit [is] so sullen, and you eat no food?”
1 Kings 21:6	And he said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, ‘Give to me your vineyard for silver; or if it pleases you, I will give to you a vineyard for it.’ And He answered, ‘I will not give to you my vineyard.’”
1 Kings 21:7	And Jezebel his wife said to him, “You now exercise authority over Israel! Arise, eat bread, and let your heart be cheerful. I will give to you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
1 Kings 21:8	And she wrote letters in the name of Ahab and sealed [them] with his seal, and she sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who [were] dwelling in the city with Naboth.
1 Kings 21:9	And she wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth with high honor among the people.
1 Kings 21:10	And seat two men, sons of worthlessness, before him to bear witness against him, saying, ‘You have cursed God and the king.’ And take him out and stone him, that he may die.”
1 Kings 21:11	And the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were dwellers of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it [was] written in the letters that she had sent to them.
1 Kings 21:12	They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth with high honor among the people.
1 Kings 21:13	And two men, the sons of worthlessness, came in and sat before him. And the men of worthlessness witnessed against him, against Naboth, before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed God and the king.” And they took him outside of the city and stoned him with stones, so that he died.
1 Kings 21:14	And they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and he is dead.”
1 Kings 21:15	And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite that he refused to give to you for silver. For Naboth is not alive, but he has died.”
1 Kings 21:16	And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab got up [and] went down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to possess it.
1 Kings 21:17	And the word of YHWH came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings 21:18	“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria. Behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to possess it.
1 Kings 21:19	And you shall speak to him, saying, thus says YHWH: ‘Have you murdered, and also taken possession?’ And you shall speak to him, saying, thus says YHWH: ‘In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood—even you.’”
1 Kings 21:20	And Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” And he answered, “I have found [you], because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH:
1 Kings 21:21	‘Behold, I will bring on you calamity and I will take away your posterity, and will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against the wall, and the restrained and the free in Israel.
1 Kings 21:22	And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked [Me] to anger, and caused Israel to sin.’
1 Kings 21:23	And also concerning Jezebel YHWH has spoken, saying, ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
1 Kings 21:24	Whoever dies of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat, and whoever dies in the field the birds of the heavens shall eat.”
1 Kings 21:25	(Surely there has not been one like Ahab, who sold himself to do wickedness in the eyes of YHWH, because Jezebel his wife incited Him.
1 Kings 21:26	And he acted very abominably in following after the idols, according to all that the Amorite had done, whom YHWH had cast out before the sons of Israel.)
1 Kings 21:27	And it came to pass when Ahab heard these words that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body, and he fasted and lay in the sackcloth, and he walked softly.
1 Kings 21:28	And the word of YHWH came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings 21:29	“Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because that he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in his days; in the days of his son I will bring the calamity on his house.”
1 Kings 22:1	And they dwelt three years without war between Aram and between Israel.
1 Kings 22:2	And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to the king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:3	And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Have you⁺ not known that Ramoth-gilead [is] unto us, and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram?”
1 Kings 22:4	And he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight [at] Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Like me like you, like my people like your people, like my horses like your horses.”
1 Kings 22:5	And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Seek, please, today for the word of YHWH.”
1 Kings 22:6	And the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to fight, or shall I refrain?” And they said, “Go up, and the Lord will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.”
1 Kings 22:7	And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a prophet of YHWH still, that we may inquire of Him?”
1 Kings 22:8	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “[There is] still one man to seek YHWH by him. I hate him, because he does not prophesy concerning me good, but rather evil: Micaiah son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say such things.”
1 Kings 22:9	And the king of Israel called to one eunuch and said, “Bring quickly Micaiah son of Imlah.”
1 Kings 22:10	And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, by the threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets prophesied before them.
1 Kings 22:11	And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says YHWH: ‘With these you shall gore Aram until they are consumed.’”
1 Kings 22:12	And all the prophets prophesied thus, saying, “Go up [to] Ramoth-gilead and prosper, and YHWH will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.”
1 Kings 22:13	And the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, please, the words of the prophets with one accord [are] good unto the king. Let be, please, your word like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
1 Kings 22:14	And Micaiah said, “[As] YHWH lives, surely that which YHWH says to me, that I will speak.”
1 Kings 22:15	And he came to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to war, or shall we refrain?” And he answered to him, “Go up and prosper, for YHWH will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.”
1 Kings 22:16	And the king said to him, “Up to how many times shall I make you swear that you speak nothing to me but the truth in the name of YHWH?”
1 Kings 22:17	And he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like the sheep that have no shepherd. And YHWH said, ‘These have no master; let them return, a man to his house in peace.’”
1 Kings 22:18	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did not I say to you [that] he would not prophesy concerning me good, but rather evil?”
1 Kings 22:19	And he said, “Therefore hear the word of YHWH. I saw YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing beside him on His right and on His left.
1 Kings 22:20	And YHWH said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And thus spoke this one, and thus spoke this one.
1 Kings 22:21	And a spirit came forward and stood before the face of YHWH and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ And YHWH said to him, ‘By what?’
1 Kings 22:22	And he said, ‘I will go and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And He said, ‘Entice him and also you will prevail. Go and do so.’
1 Kings 22:23	And now, behold, YHWH has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and YHWH has declared disaster against you.”
1 Kings 22:24	And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went near, and he struck Micaiah on the cheek and said, “Where [is] this [that] has passed over the spirit of YHWH from me to speak with you?”
1 Kings 22:25	And Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner chamber to hide.”
1 Kings 22:26	And the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash son of the king.
1 Kings 22:27	And say, thus says the king: ‘Put this one in the house of restraint, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.’”
1 Kings 22:28	And Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Take heed, peoples, all of them.”
1 Kings 22:29	And the king of Israel went up, and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, to Ramoth-gilead.
1 Kings 22:30	And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and come into the battle, and you put on your robes.” And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
1 Kings 22:31	And the king of Aram had commanded the captains of the chariots who [were] unto him, thirty-two, saying, “You⁺ shall not fight with small or with great, except but with the king of Israel by himself.”
1 Kings 22:32	And it came to pass, the commanders of the chariots seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, “It [is] surely the king of Israel.” And they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.
1 Kings 22:33	And it came to pass, the captains of the chariots seeing that it [was] not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
1 Kings 22:34	And a man drew with the bow in his simplicity, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints and between of armor. And he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”
1 Kings 22:35	And the battle increased that day, and the king was propped up in the chariot over against Aram. And he died in the evening, and the blood from the wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot.
1 Kings 22:36	And a shout went throughout the army at the going in of the sun, saying, “Each man to his city, and each man to his own land.”
1 Kings 22:37	And the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
1 Kings 22:38	And one washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes bathed, according to the word of YHWH that He had spoken.
1 Kings 22:39	And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Israel?
1 Kings 22:40	And Ahab rested with his fathers. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 22:41	And Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
1 Kings 22:42	Jehoshaphat [was] a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and twenty-five years he reigned in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
1 Kings 22:43	And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he did not turn aside from them, doing right in the eyes of YHWH. Nevertheless, they did not remove the high places; still the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.
1 Kings 22:44	And Jehoshaphat made peace with the kings of Israel.
1 Kings 22:45	And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and the might that he showed, and how he made war, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
1 Kings 22:46	And the rest of the male shrine prostitutes, who remained from the days of Asa his father, he banished from the land.
1 Kings 22:47	And [there was] no king in Edom; he set up a king.
1 Kings 22:48	Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they never sailed, for the ships were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
1 Kings 22:49	Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” And Jehoshaphat was not willing.
1 Kings 22:50	And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. And Joram his son reigned in his place.
1 Kings 22:51	Ahaziah son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel two years.
1 Kings 22:52	And He did evil in the eyes of YHWH and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who had caused Israel to sin.
1 Kings 22:53	For he served the Baal and bowed down to him and provoked to anger YHWH, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
2 Kings 1:1	And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Kings 1:2	And Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room that [was] in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will live from this injury.”
2 Kings 1:3	And the angel of YHWH said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you⁺ are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’
2 Kings 1:4	And now thus says YHWH, ‘The bed to which you have gone up, you shall not come down from it. For You will surely die.’” And Elijah departed.
2 Kings 1:5	And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “What [is] this—you⁺ have returned!”
2 Kings 1:6	And they said to him, “A man came up to meet us and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you⁺, and say to him, thus says YHWH: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore the bed to which you have gone up, you shall not come down from it. For You will surely die.’”
2 Kings 1:7	And he said to them, “What was the manner of the man who came up to meet you⁺ and told to you⁺ these words?”
2 Kings 1:8	And they answered to him, “A man owning hair and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” And he said, “It [is] Elijah the Tishbite.”
2 Kings 1:9	And the king sent to him a captain of fifty, and his fifty. And he went up to him, and there he was sitting on the top of the hill. And he said to him, “Man of God, the king has said: ‘Come down.’”
2 Kings 1:10	And Elijah answered and said to the captain of the fifty, “And if I [am] a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume you and your fifty.” And fire came down from the heavens and consumed him and [his] fifty.
2 Kings 1:11	And he turned and sent to him another captain of fifty, and his fifty. And he answered and said to him, “Man of God, thus has said the king: ‘Quickly come down.’”
2 Kings 1:12	And Elijah answered and said to them, “If I [am] a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume you and your fifty.” And the fire of God came down from the heavens and consumed him and [his] fifty.
2 Kings 1:13	And he turned and sent a third captain of fifty, and his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and he came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him and said to him, “Man of God, let be precious, please, my life and the life of your servants—these fifty—in your eyes.
2 Kings 1:14	Behold, fire has come down from the heavens and burned up the first two captains of fifty, and their fifties. And let my life be precious in your eyes.”
2 Kings 1:15	And the angel of YHWH said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” And he arose and went down with him to the king.
2 Kings 1:16	And he said to him, “Thus says YHWH: Because that you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, [is it] because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore the bed to which you have gone up there, you shall not come down from it. For you will surely die.”
2 Kings 1:17	And he died according to the word of YHWH that Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of Joram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
2 Kings 1:18	And the rest of the acts of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 2:1	And it came to pass, at YHWH taking up Elijah by a whirlwind into the heavens, that Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal.
2 Kings 2:2	And Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here please, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel.” And Elisha said, “[As] YHWH lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you.” And they went down to Bethel.
2 Kings 2:3	And the sons of the prophets who [were] at Bethel came out to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that today YHWH will take away your master from over your head?” And he said, “Yes, I know. Keep silent.”
2 Kings 2:4	And Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here please, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho.” And he said, “[As] YHWH lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you.” And they came to Jericho.
2 Kings 2:5	And the sons of the prophets who [were] at Jericho came to Elisha, and they said to him, “Do you know that today YHWH will take away your master from over your head?” And he answered, “Yes, I know. Keep silent.”
2 Kings 2:6	And Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan.” And he said, “[As] YHWH lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you.” And the two of them went on.
2 Kings 2:7	And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing [them] at a distance, and the two of them stood by the Jordan.
2 Kings 2:8	And Elijah took his cloak and rolled [it] up, and he struck the waters, and they were divided here and here, and the two of them passed over on the dry ground.
2 Kings 2:9	And so it was at their passing over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I may do for you before I am taken away from you.” And Elisha said, “Let be, please, a double portion of your spirit upon me.”
2 Kings 2:10	And he said, “You have made it difficult by asking. If you see me taken from you, it will be so for you. But if not, it will not be.”
2 Kings 2:11	And it came to pass, [as] they were walking, walking on and speaking, that behold a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and they separated between the two of them, and Elijah went up in the whirlwind into the heavens.
2 Kings 2:12	And Elisha saw [it], and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen,” and he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.
2 Kings 2:13	And He took up the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him, and he returned and stood by the bank of the Jordan.
2 Kings 2:14	And he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters, and he said, “Where [is] YHWH, God of Elijah—even he?” And he struck the waters, and they were divided here and here. And Elisha passed over.
2 Kings 2:15	And saw him the sons of the prophets who [were] from Jericho facing him, and they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed before him to the ground.
2 Kings 2:16	And they said to him, “Behold now, there are with your servants fifty men, sons of valor. Let them go, please, and search for your master, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up and cast him upon one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys.” And he said, “You⁺ shall not send anyone.”
2 Kings 2:17	And they urged him until he was ashamed, and he said, “Send [them].” And they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days, and they did not find him.
2 Kings 2:18	And they came back to him, for he had stayed in Jericho. And he said to them, “Did not I say to you⁺ not to go?”
2 Kings 2:19	And the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold, please, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord sees. And the waters [are] bad and the ground barren.”
2 Kings 2:20	And he said, “Bring me a new bowl and put in it salt.” And they brought [it] to him.
2 Kings 2:21	And he went out to the source of the waters, and he cast in there the salt and said, “Thus says YHWH, ‘I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there anymore death or barrenness.’”
2 Kings 2:22	And the waters were healed up to this day, according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
2 Kings 2:23	And he went up from there to Bethel, and he was going up the road, and some little youths came from the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, baldhead! Go up, baldhead!”
2 Kings 2:24	And he turned around and looked at them, and he cursed them in the name of YHWH. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled of them forty-two youths.
2 Kings 2:25	And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
2 Kings 3:1	And Jehoram son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years.
2 Kings 3:2	And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH, but not like his father and mother. For he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
2 Kings 3:3	Nevertheless, in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had made Israel to sin, he persisted. He did not depart from them.
2 Kings 3:4	And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool.
2 Kings 3:5	And it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
2 Kings 3:6	And King Jehoram went out at that time from Samaria, and he mustered all Israel.
2 Kings 3:7	And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to the battle?” And he said, “I will go up. Like me like you, like my people like your people, like my horses like your horses.”
2 Kings 3:8	And he said, “Where [is] this—the way we shall go up?” And he answered, “By the way of the Wilderness of Edom.”
2 Kings 3:9	And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they circled around the way seven days, and there was no water for the army and for the animals that [were] at their feet.
2 Kings 3:10	And the king of Israel said, “Alas! For YHWH has called together these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
2 Kings 3:11	And Jehoshaphat said, “[Is] not here a prophet of YHWH, that we may inquire of YHWH by him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, “Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
2 Kings 3:12	And Jehoshaphat said, “The word of YHWH is with him.” And they went down to him—the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
2 Kings 3:13	And Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What [is] to me and to you? Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother.” And the king of Israel said to him, “No, for YHWH has called these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
2 Kings 3:14	And Elisha said, “[As] YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely unless I am lifting up the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or see you.
2 Kings 3:15	And bring me a harpist.” And it came to pass, at the playing of the harpist, that the hand of YHWH came upon him.
2 Kings 3:16	And he said, “Thus says YHWH, ‘Make this valley of pits [and] pits.’
2 Kings 3:17	For thus says YHWH, ‘You⁺ shall not see wind, nor shall you⁺ see rain, and that valley shall be filled with water so that you⁺ may drink—you⁺ and your⁺ cattle and your⁺ animals.’
2 Kings 3:18	And this is slight in the eyes of YHWH, and He will deliver the Moabites into your⁺ hands.
2 Kings 3:19	And you⁺ will strike every fortified city and every choice city, and every good tree you⁺ will cut down, and every spring of water you⁺ will stop up, and every good piece of the land you⁺ will ruin with stones.”
2 Kings 3:20	And it came to pass in the morning at the ascending of the grain offering, that, behold, waters were coming from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with the waters.
2 Kings 3:21	And all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, and they were called together from everyone girding a belt and older, and they stood at the border.
2 Kings 3:22	And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun was shining on the waters. And the Moabites saw on the other side the waters, [as] red as blood.
2 Kings 3:23	And they said, “This [is] blood! The kings have been utterly destroyed, and they have struck one another. And now to the spoil, Moab!”
2 Kings 3:24	And when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and struck Moab so that they fled before them. And they came into it and struck down the Moabites.
2 Kings 3:25	And they tore down the cities, and on every good piece of land threw each man a stone and filled it. And all the springs of water they stopped up, and all the good trees they cut down. Yet they left the stones in Kir-haraseth, and the slingers surrounded it and attacked it.
2 Kings 3:26	And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, and he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords to break through to the king of Edom; and they were not able.
2 Kings 3:27	And he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and he lifted him up [as] a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to the land.
2 Kings 4:1	And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant was fearing YHWH, and the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 Kings 4:2	And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant [has] not anything in the house except but a jar of oil.”
2 Kings 4:3	And he said, “Go, ask for yourself vessels from outside, from all your neighbors—empty vessels. Do not let it be few.
2 Kings 4:4	And you shall come in and shut the door behind you and behind your sons, and you shall pour it into all these vessels and set aside the full ones.”
2 Kings 4:5	And she went from him and shut the door behind her and behind her sons. They brought [them] near to her, and she poured [it] out.
2 Kings 4:6	And it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said to her son, “Bring to me another vessel.” And he said to her, “[There is] not another vessel.” And the oil stood.
2 Kings 4:7	And she came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and you and your sons live on the rest.”
2 Kings 4:8	And one day it came to pass that Elisha went to Shunem, and there [was] a great woman, and she persuaded him to eat some food. And it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn aside there to eat some food.
2 Kings 4:9	And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that he [is] a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
2 Kings 4:10	Let us make, please, a small upper room on the wall, and let us put for him there a bed, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand. And it will be, in his coming to us, he can turn aside there.”
2 Kings 4:11	And the day came to pass that he came there, and he turned aside to the upper room and lay down there.
2 Kings 4:12	And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammitess.” And he called her, and she stood before his face.
2 Kings 4:13	And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have trembled concerning us with all this trouble. What [am I] to do for you? Am [I] indeed to speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’” And she answered, “In the midst of my people I am dwelling.”
2 Kings 4:14	And he said, “And what [is] to be done for her?” And Gehazi answered, “Truly there is not unto her a son, and her husband is old.”
2 Kings 4:15	And he said, “Call to her.” And he called to her, and she stood in the doorway.
2 Kings 4:16	And he said, “This time next year of life, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”
2 Kings 4:17	And the woman conceived and bore a son at this appointed time of life that Elisha had spoken to her.
2 Kings 4:18	And the child grew, and the day came to pass that he went out to his father to the harvesters.
2 Kings 4:19	And he said to his father, “My head! My head!” And he said to a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
2 Kings 4:20	And he lifted him and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees until the noon, and he died.
2 Kings 4:21	And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and she shut the [door] behind him and went out.
2 Kings 4:22	And she called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the young men, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and return.”
2 Kings 4:23	And he said, “Why [are] you going to him today? [It is] not the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “Peace.”
2 Kings 4:24	And she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, “Drive and go forward. Do not slacken for me the pace, for unless I speak to you.”
2 Kings 4:25	And she departed and went in to the man of God at Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, this Shunammitess.
2 Kings 4:26	Now run, please, to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is [it all] well for you? Is [it] well for your husband? Is [it] well for the child?’” And she answered, “[It is] well.”
2 Kings 4:27	And she came to the man of God at the hill, and she caught him by the feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away. And the man of God said, “Let her alone, for her soul is bitter to her, and YHWH has hidden [it] from me and has not told me.”
2 Kings 4:28	And she said, “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
2 Kings 4:29	And he said to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, do not greet him. And if anyone greets you, do not answer him. And lay my staff on the face of the boy.”
2 Kings 4:30	And the mother of the child said, “[As] YHWH lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you.” And he arose and followed her.
2 Kings 4:31	And Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the face of the boy. And [there was] no voice and no hearing. And he turned back to meet him and declared to him, saying, “The child has not awakened.”
2 Kings 4:32	And Elisha came into the house, and behold, the boy was dead, lying on his bed.
2 Kings 4:33	And he went in and shut the door behind the two of them, and he prayed to YHWH.
2 Kings 4:34	And he went up and lay on the child, and he put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And he stretched out himself on him, and the flesh of the child became warm.
2 Kings 4:35	And he returned and walked in the house once here and once here. And again he went up and stretched out himself on him. And the boy sneezed up to seven times, and the boy opened his eyes.
2 Kings 4:36	And he called to Gehazi and said, “Call to this Shunammitess.” And he called her, and she came in to him. And he said, “Lift up your son.”
2 Kings 4:37	And she went in and fell at his feet, and she bowed herself to the earth. And she lifted her son and went out.
2 Kings 4:38	And Elisha returned to Gilgal, and the famine [was] in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before his face, and he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
2 Kings 4:39	And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and he found a vine of the field, and he gathered from it gourds of the field—the fullness of his garment—and he came and sliced [them] into the pot of stew, though they knew not.
2 Kings 4:40	And they served it to the men to eat, and it came to pass as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, “Death [is] in the pot, O man of God.” And they could not eat [it].
2 Kings 4:41	And he said, “Bring flour.” And he put [it] into the pot and said, “Serve [it] to the people, that they may eat.” And there was not a harmful thing in the pot.
2 Kings 4:42	And a man came from Baal-shalishah, and he brought to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and ripe grain in his sack. And he said, “Give [it] to the people, that they may eat.”
2 Kings 4:43	And his servant said, “How shall I set this before the face of a hundred men?” And He said again, “Give it to the people, that they may eat. For thus says YHWH, ‘[They] shall eat and have left over.’”
2 Kings 4:44	And he set [it] before them, and they ate and had left over, according to the word of YHWH.
2 Kings 5:1	And Naaman commander of the army of the king of Aram was a great man in the eyes of his master, and was lifted of face, because by him YHWH had given deliverance to Aram. And the man was mighty in valor—a leper.
2 Kings 5:2	And Aram had gone out in bands, and had brought back captive from the land of Israel a young girl. And she waited before the face of the wife of Naaman.
2 Kings 5:3	And she said to her mistress, “If only my master [were] with the prophet who [is] in Samaria, then he would heal him of his leprosy!”
2 Kings 5:4	And he went in and declared to his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who [is] from the land of Israel.”
2 Kings 5:5	And the king of Aram said, “Go, enter, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand [shekels] of gold, and ten changes of garments.
2 Kings 5:6	And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now when this letter comes to you, be advised that I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
2 Kings 5:7	And it came to pass, in the king of Israel reading the letter, that he tore his garments and said, “[Am] I God to kill and make alive, that this one sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? Upon thus consider, please, and see how he is presenting himself to me.”
2 Kings 5:8	And it came to pass, in Elisha the man of God hearing that the king of Israel had torn his garments, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come, please, to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
2 Kings 5:9	And Naaman went with his horses and with his chariot, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2 Kings 5:10	And Elisha sent to him a messenger, saying, “Go and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and [you shall] be clean.”
2 Kings 5:11	And Naaman became furious and went away and said, “Behold, I said to myself he would surely come out and stand, and call on the name of YHWH his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.
2 Kings 5:12	Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could not I wash in them and be clean?” And he turned and went away in a rage.
2 Kings 5:13	And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, [if] something great the prophet had spoken to you, would you not have done [it]? Then how much more when he says to you, ‘Wash and be clean’?”
2 Kings 5:14	And he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times, according to the saying of the man of God. And his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2 Kings 5:15	And he returned to the man of God, he and all his camp, and came and stood before his face, and he said, “Behold, now I know that [there is] no God in all the earth for but in Israel. And now take please a gift from your servant.”
2 Kings 5:16	And he said, “[As] YHWH lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” And he urged him to take [it], and he refused.
2 Kings 5:17	And Naaman said, “If not, let be given, please, to your servant a load of earth as a pair of mules, for your servant will offer not anymore either burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, for but to YHWH.
2 Kings 5:18	In this thing may YHWH pardon your servant, when my master goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow down in the temple of Rimmon. In my bowing myself in the temple of Rimmon, may YHWH please pardon your servant in this thing.”
2 Kings 5:19	And he said to him, “Go in peace.” And he departed from him a distance of land.
2 Kings 5:20	And Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said, “Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Aramaean—[not] receiving from his hands what he brought. For as YHWH lives, I will run after him and get from him something.”
2 Kings 5:21	And Gehazi pursued after Naaman. And Naaman saw [him] running after him, and he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Peace?”
2 Kings 5:22	And he said, “Peace. My master has sent me, saying, ‘Behold now this, two young men have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim of the sons of the prophets. Give, please, to them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.’”
2 Kings 5:23	And Naaman said, “Be resolved, take two talents.” And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and he gave them to two of his servants, and they carried [them] on ahead of him.
2 Kings 5:24	And he came to the citadel, and he took [them] from their hand, and stored [them] away in the house, and he sent away the men, and they departed.
2 Kings 5:25	And he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, “From where, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant did not go where and where.”
2 Kings 5:26	And he said to him, “Did my heart not go when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? [Is it] the time to receive silver, and to receive garments, and olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
2 Kings 5:27	And the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your seed forever.” And he went out from before his face, leprous as the snow.
2 Kings 6:1	And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Behold now, the place where we are dwelling there to your face is too tight for us.
2 Kings 6:2	Let us go, please, to the Jordan, and let take from there each man one beam, and let us make to us there a place where we may dwell there.” And he answered, “Go.”
2 Kings 6:3	And the one said, “Be resolved, please, and go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
2 Kings 6:4	And he went with them, and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down the trees.
2 Kings 6:5	And it came to pass, the one was cutting down a tree and the iron fell into the water. And he cried out and said, “Alas, master! And it was borrowed.”
2 Kings 6:6	And the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he showed him the place, and he cut off a stick and threw [it] in there; and the iron he made float.
2 Kings 6:7	And he said, “Pick [it] up for yourself.” And he stretched out his hand, and he took it.
2 Kings 6:8	And the king of Aram had been making war against Israel, and he counseled with his servants, saying, “In such and such a place My camp [will be].”
2 Kings 6:9	And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware of passing over this place. For there Aram is coming down.”
2 Kings 6:10	And the king of Israel sent one to the place of which the man of God had told him; and he warned him, and he was watchful there—not once and not twice.
2 Kings 6:11	And the heart of the king of Aram was greatly troubled by this thing, and he called to his servants and said to them, “Will you⁺ not show to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?”
2 Kings 6:12	And one of his servants said, “None, my lord the king, but Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
2 Kings 6:13	And he said, “Go and see where he [is], that I may send and get him.” And it was told to him, saying, “Behold, in Dothan.”
2 Kings 6:14	And he sent there horses and chariot and a great army, and they came by night and went around against the city.
2 Kings 6:15	And the servant of the man of God rising, arose early, and he went out, and there was an army surrounding the city, and horse and chariot. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
2 Kings 6:16	And he answered, “Fear not, for more [are] those who [are] with us than those who [are] with them.”
2 Kings 6:17	And Elisha prayed and said, “O YHWH, open, please, his eyes, that he may see.” And YHWH opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
2 Kings 6:18	And they came down to him, and Elisha prayed to YHWH and said, “Strike, please, this people with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
2 Kings 6:19	And Elisha said to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you⁺ to the man whom you⁺ seek.” And he led them to Samaria.
2 Kings 6:20	And it came to pass, when they came to Samaria, that Elisha said, “O YHWH, open the eyes of these [men], that they may see.” And YHWH opened their eyes, and they saw. And behold, [they were] in the midst of Samaria.
2 Kings 6:21	And the king of Israel said to Elisha at his seeing them, “Shall I strike? Shall I strike, My father?”
2 Kings 6:22	And he answered, “You shall not strike. Those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow, would you kill? Set food and water before their faces, that they may eat and drink and go to their master.”
2 Kings 6:23	And he prepared for them a great feast, and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands from Aram added not again to come into the land of Israel.
2 Kings 6:24	And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his camp, and he went up and laid siege against Samaria.
2 Kings 6:25	And there was a great famine in Samaria. And behold, they lay siege against it until the head of a donkey was [sold] for eighty [shekels] of silver, and a forth of a cab of dove’s dung for five [shekels] of silver.
2 Kings 6:26	And it came to pass [that] the king of Israel passing by on the wall, and a woman cried out to him, saying, “Save [me], my lord the king.”
2 Kings 6:27	And he said, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?”
2 Kings 6:28	And the king said to her, “What is troubling you?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat tomorrow.’
2 Kings 6:29	And we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ And she has hidden her son.”
2 Kings 6:30	And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and behold, sackcloth was on his flesh within.
2 Kings 6:31	And he said, “Thus may God do to me, and thus He does add, if remains the head of Elisha son of Shaphat on him today.”
2 Kings 6:32	And Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And he sent a man ahead of him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you⁺ see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Look, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door and hold him fast at the door. Is there not the sound of the feet of his master behind him?”
2 Kings 6:33	And while he was speaking with them, behold, the messenger was coming down to him, and he said, “Behold, this evil [is] from YHWH. Why should I wait for YHWH any longer?”
2 Kings 7:1	And Elisha said, “Hear the word of YHWH! Thus says YHWH: ‘About this time tomorrow a seah of fine flour [will be] for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.”
2 Kings 7:2	And the officer, whom the king on his hand leaned, answered the man of God and said, “Behold, [if] YHWH would make windows in the heavens, could this thing come to pass?” And he said, “Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, and from there you shall not eat.”
2 Kings 7:3	And four leprous men were at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?
2 Kings 7:4	If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ and the famine [is] in the city, we shall die there. And if we sit we shall die, we die. And now, come and let us surrender to the camp of Aram. If they keep us alive, we shall live. And if they put us to death, we shall die.”
2 Kings 7:5	And they arose in the twilight to go in to the camp of Aram, and they came in to the outskirts of the camp of Aram. And behold, not a man [was] there.
2 Kings 7:6	For the Lord had caused the army of Aram to hear the noise of chariot and the noise of horse, the noise of a great force. And they said one to another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us.”
2 Kings 7:7	And they arose and fled in the twilight, and they abandoned their tents and their horses and their donkeys—the camp as it [was]—and they fled for their life.
2 Kings 7:8	And these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, and they went into one tent and ate, and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid [them]. And they turned back and entered into another tent and lifted up from there, and went and hid [it].
2 Kings 7:9	And they said one to another, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. And if we wait until the light of the morning, then punishment will find us. And now come and let us go and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
2 Kings 7:10	And they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city and declared to them, saying, “We went to the camp of Aram, and behold, there [was] not a man or the sound of man, but only the tied horse and tied donkey and the tents as they [were].”
2 Kings 7:11	And the gatekeepers called out, and they told [it] to the house of the king within.
2 Kings 7:12	And the king arose in the night and said to his servants, “Let me declare, please, to you⁺ what Aram has done to us. They know that we [are] hungry; and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive and enter into the city.’”
2 Kings 7:13	And one of his servants answered and said, “Then let them take, please, five of the remaining horses, which are left in the city. Behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who are left in it—indeed, like all the multitude of Israel left from those who are consumed. And let us send them and see.”
2 Kings 7:14	And they took two chariot horses, and the king sent them in the direction of the camp of Aram, saying, “Go and see.”
2 Kings 7:15	And they went after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way [was] full of garments and vessels that Aram had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.
2 Kings 7:16	And the people went out and plundered the tents of Aram. And there was a seah of fine flour for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
2 Kings 7:17	And the king had appointed the officer on whom his hand leaned [to be] over the gate, and the people trampled him in the gate and he died, as the man of God had said who spoke when the king came down to him.
2 Kings 7:18	And it came to pass according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, will be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.”
2 Kings 7:19	And that officer had answered the man of God and said, “And behold, [if] YHWH should make windows in the heavens, could this word come to pass?” And he had said, “Behold, you shall see [it] with your eyes, and from there you shall not eat.”
2 Kings 7:20	And so it came to pass to him thus, and the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
2 Kings 8:1	And Elisha spoke to the woman, whom he had revived her son, saying, “Arise and go, you and your house, and sojourn to where you will sojourn. For YHWH has called for a famine, and also it will come upon the land seven years.”
2 Kings 8:2	And the woman arose, and she did according to the word of the man of God, and she went, she and her house, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
2 Kings 8:3	And it came to pass at the end of seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, and she went to make an appeal to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf her field.
2 Kings 8:4	And the king spoke to Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Recount, please, to me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
2 Kings 8:5	And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had revived the dead, that there was the woman whom he had revived her son, appealing to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this [is] the woman and this [is] her son whom Elisha revived.”
2 Kings 8:6	And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed for her one eunuch, saying, “Restore all that [was] unto her, and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land and until now.”
2 Kings 8:7	And Elisha went to Damascus, and Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick. And it was declared to him, saying, “The man of God has come as far as here.”
2 Kings 8:8	And the king said to Hazael, “Take in your hand a gift, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of YHWH by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
2 Kings 8:9	And Hazael went to meet him, and took a gift in his hand of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty camels. And he came and stood before his face and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
2 Kings 8:10	And Elisha said to him, “Go, say, ‘Will you not surely recover?’ And YHWH has shown me that he will surely die.”
2 Kings 8:11	And he set his countenance, and he set [it] until he was ashamed. And the man of God wept.
2 Kings 8:12	And Hazael said, “Why is my lord weeping?” And He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel—their strongholds you will send into the fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their children you will dash to pieces, and their pregnant [women] you will split open.”
2 Kings 8:13	And Hazael said, “But what [is] your servant, a dog, that he should do this great thing?” And Elisha answered, “YHWH has made me see that you [will be] king over Aram.”
2 Kings 8:14	And he departed from Elisha and came to his master, and he said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he said, “He said to me: You will surely recover.”
2 Kings 8:15	And it came to pass on the next day that he took a thick cloth and dipped [it] in the waters, and he spread it over his face, and he died. And Hazael reigned in his place.
2 Kings 8:16	And in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel—and Jehoshaphat [was] king of Judah—Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat began his reign as king of Judah.
2 Kings 8:17	He was a son of thirty-two years in his reigning, and eight years he reigned in Jerusalem.
2 Kings 8:18	And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as had done the house of Ahab. For the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of YHWH.
2 Kings 8:19	And YHWH was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, as He promised to him to give to him a lamp for his sons all the days.
2 Kings 8:20	In his days Edom revolted against the hand of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
2 Kings 8:21	And Joram went to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he rose by night and struck Edom, who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots. And the people fled to their tents.
2 Kings 8:22	And Edom has been in revolt against the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at that time.
2 Kings 8:23	And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 8:24	And Joram rested with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 8:25	In the twelfth year of Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Joram king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings 8:26	Ahaziah [was] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And the name of His mother [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
2 Kings 8:27	And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab; for he [was] the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
2 Kings 8:28	And he went with Jehoram son of Ahab to the battle against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. And the Aramaeans wounded Jehoram.
2 Kings 8:29	And Jehoram the king went back to recover—to Jezreel—from the wounds that the Aramaeans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. And Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
2 Kings 9:1	And Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Gird up your loins and take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Kings 9:2	And you will come to there and see there Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi, and you will come and make him rise up from the midst of his brothers. And bring him to an inner chamber.
2 Kings 9:3	And take the flask of the oil, and pour [it] on his head and say, ‘Thus says YHWH: I have anointed you king over Israel.’ And open the door and flee, and do not delay.”
2 Kings 9:4	And the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Kings 9:5	And he arrived, and behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, “A word from me [is] to you, commander.” And Jehu said, “For that of all of us?” And he said, “To you, commander.”
2 Kings 9:6	And he arose and went into the house, and he poured the oil on his head and said to him, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘I have anointed you as king over the people of YHWH, over Israel.
2 Kings 9:7	And you shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of YHWH from the hand of Jezebel.
2 Kings 9:8	And all the house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab the one who urinates against the wall, and the one who is restrained, and the one who is free in Israel.
2 Kings 9:9	And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah.
2 Kings 9:10	And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and [there is] none to bury [her].’” And he opened the door and fled.
2 Kings 9:11	And Jehu went out to the servants of his master, and one said to him, “Peace? Why did this madman come to you?” And he said to them, “You⁺ know the man and his babble.”
2 Kings 9:12	And they said, “False! Declare now to us.” And he said, “Like this and like this he spoke to me, saying, ‘Thus says YHWH: I have anointed you as king over Israel.’”
2 Kings 9:13	And they hurried, and each man took his garment and put [it] under him on the top of the steps, and they blew with the shofar and said, “Jehu is king.”
2 Kings 9:14	And Jehu son of Jehoshaphat son of Nimshi conspired against Jehoram. (And Jehoram had been defending Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, from the presence of Hazael king of Aram.
2 Kings 9:15	And king Jehoram had returned to recover in Jezreel from the wounds that the Aramaeans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram.) And Jehu said, “If it is your⁺ mind, do not let a fugitive go out from the city to go and tell [it] in Jezreel.”
2 Kings 9:16	And Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, because Jehoram was laid up there. And Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Jehoram.
2 Kings 9:17	And the watchman stood on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu in his coming, and said, “A company I see.” And Jehoram said, “Take a rider and send him to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is [it] peace?’”
2 Kings 9:18	And the rider on the horse went to meet him and said, “Thus says the king, ‘Is [it] peace?’” And Jehu said, “And what [is] for you regarding peace? Turn around to after me.” And the watchman declared, saying, “The messenger went to them, and he is not coming back.”
2 Kings 9:19	And he sent out a second rider on a horse, and he went in to them and said, “Thus says the king, ‘[Is] peace?’” And Jehu answered, “And what to you with peace? Turn around to behind me.”
2 Kings 9:20	And the watchman declared, saying, “He went up even to them and is not coming back. And the driving [is] like the driving of Jehu son of Nimshi, for he drives with madness!”
2 Kings 9:21	And Jehoram said, “Harness!” And his chariot was harnessed. And Jehoram king of Israel went out, and Ahaziah king of Judah, each man in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and they found him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
2 Kings 9:22	And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, “Is [it] peace, Jehu?” And he said, “What peace [is], during the prostitution of Jezebel your mother and her many witchcrafts?”
2 Kings 9:23	And Jehoram turned his hands and fled, and he said to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah.”
2 Kings 9:24	And Jehu filled his hand with a bow and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow came out from his heart, and he sank down in his chariot.
2 Kings 9:25	And he said to Bidkar his captain, “Lift up [and] throw him into the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for remember that I and you were riding together behind Ahab his father, and YHWH lifted up upon him this burden:
2 Kings 9:26	‘If not the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons I saw yesterday, declares YHWH, and I will repay to you in this portion, declares YHWH.’ And now take [and] throw him into the portion, according to the word of YHWH.”
2 Kings 9:27	And Ahaziah king of Judah saw, and he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan, and Jehu pursued him and said, “Shoot him also.” [So they shot Ahaziah] in the chariot on the Ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo and died there.
2 Kings 9:28	And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
2 Kings 9:29	(And in the eleventh year of Jehoram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)
2 Kings 9:30	And Jehu had come to Jezreel, and Jezebel heard and put her eyes in paint and adorned her head, and she looked down through the window.
2 Kings 9:31	And Jehu entered into the gate, and she said, “Is [it] peace, O Zimri, manslayer of his master?”
2 Kings 9:32	And he lifted up his face to the window and said, “Who [is] is with me? Who?” And two [or] three eunuchs looked out at him.
2 Kings 9:33	And he said, “Drop her!” And they dropped her, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her underfoot.
2 Kings 9:34	And he came in and ate and drank and said, “Look after now this accursed [woman] and bury her, for she [was] a daughter of a king.”
2 Kings 9:35	And they went to bury her, and no more they found of her but if the skull and the feet and the palms of the hands.
2 Kings 9:36	And they turned back and reported to him, and he said, “The word of YHWH it [is], which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘In the portion of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel.
2 Kings 9:37	And the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they cannot say: This [is] Jezebel.’”
2 Kings 10:1	And Ahab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters and sent to Samaria to the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to those supporting Ahab, saying,
2 Kings 10:2	“And now at the coming in of this letter to you⁺—and with you⁺ [are] sons of your⁺ master, and with you⁺ [are] the chariots and the horses, and a fortified city, and weapons—
2 Kings 10:3	choose the best and the most upright of the sons of your⁺ master, and set [him] on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your⁺ master.”
2 Kings 10:4	And they were afraid exceedingly greatly, and they said, “Behold, the two kings could not stand up to him, and how can we stand ourselves?”
2 Kings 10:5	And he who [was] over the house, and he who [was] in charge of the city, and the elders, and the supporters, sent to Jehu, saying, “We [are] your servants, and all that you tell to us, we will do. But not any man we will make king. That which [is] good in your eyes, do.”
2 Kings 10:6	And he wrote to them a second letter, saying, “If you⁺ [are] for me, and my voice you⁺ will obey, take the heads of the men, the sons of your⁺ master, and come to me by this time tomorrow to Jezreel.” The sons of the king, seventy men, [were] with the great ones of the city, those bringing them up.
2 Kings 10:7	And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the sons of the king and slaughtered seventy men, and they put their heads in the baskets and sent [them] to him at Jezreel.
2 Kings 10:8	And a messenger came and declared to him, saying, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And he said, “Place them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
2 Kings 10:9	And it came to pass in the morning that he went out and stood and said to all the people, “You⁺ [are] righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him. And who killed all these?
2 Kings 10:10	Know, then, that nothing shall fall to the earth of the word of YHWH that YHWH spoke concerning the house of Ahab, for YHWH has done what He spoke by the hand of His servant Elijah.”
2 Kings 10:11	And Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances, and his priests, until none he left remaining to him.
2 Kings 10:12	And he arose and departed and went to Samaria. He [was] at Beth-eked of the Shepherds on the way,
2 Kings 10:13	and Jehu met the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah and said, “Who [are] you⁺?” And they said, “We [are] brothers of Ahaziah, and we have come down for the welfare of the sons of the king and the sons of the queen mother.”
2 Kings 10:14	And he said, “Take them alive.” And they took them alive and killed them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. And he left not a man of them.
2 Kings 10:15	And he departed from there, and he met Jehonadab son of Rechab coming to meet him. And he blessed him and said to him, “Is your heart straight as my heart [is] toward your heart?” And Jehonadab answered, “It is.” And he said, “Give [me] your hand.” And he gave [him] his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.
2 Kings 10:16	And he said, “Come with me and see my zeal for YHWH.” And they had him ride in his chariot.
2 Kings 10:17	And he came to Samaria, and he killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria until he had destroyed them, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke to Elijah.
2 Kings 10:18	And Jehu gathered together all the people and said to them, “Ahab served the Baal a little; Jehu will serve him much.
2 Kings 10:19	And now all the prophets of the Baal, all his servants, and all his priests, call to me. Let not a man be missing, for a great sacrifice I have for the Baal. Anyone who is missing shall not live.” And Jehu acted deceptively, with the intent of destroying the worshipers of Baal.
2 Kings 10:20	And Jehu said, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for the Baal.” And they proclaimed [it].
2 Kings 10:21	And Jehu sent throughout all Israel, and all the worshipers of the Baal came, and was not left a man who did not come in. And they came in to the house of the Baal, and the house of the Baal was full mouth to mouth.
2 Kings 10:22	And he said to the one in charge of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the worshipers of the Baal.” And he brought out for them the clothing.
2 Kings 10:23	And Jehu went, and Jonadab son of Rechab, into the house of the Baal, and they said to the worshipers of the Baal, “Search and see that are here with you⁺ no servants of YHWH, for but the worshipers of the Baal only.”
2 Kings 10:24	And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. And Jehu had appointed for himself on the outside eighty men and said, “The man who lets one escape from the men whom I have brought into your⁺ hands, his soul for his soul.”
2 Kings 10:25	And it came to pass, at his finishing to make the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in, strike them. Let not a man come out.” And they struck them with the mouth of the sword. And the guards and the officers cast [them] out and went into the inner room of the house of the Baal.
2 Kings 10:26	And they brought out the pillars of the house of the Baal and burned them.
2 Kings 10:27	And they broke down the pillar of the Baal and broke down the house of the Baal, and made it a latrine to this day.
2 Kings 10:28	And Jehu destroyed the Baal from Israel.
2 Kings 10:29	However, the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused to sin Israel, Jehu did not turn away from after them—from the golden calves that [were] at Bethel and Dan.
2 Kings 10:30	And YHWH said to Jehu, “Because that you have done well in doing right in My eyes—according to all that [is] in My heart you have done to the house of Ahab—sons of the fourth shall sit unto you on the throne of Israel.”
2 Kings 10:31	And Jehu did not take heed to walk in the law of YHWH, God of Israel, with all his heart. For he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin.
2 Kings 10:32	In those days YHWH began to cut off [some] of Israel, and Hazael conquered them in all the territory of Israel,
2 Kings 10:33	from the Jordan to the rising of the sun, all the land of Gilead (the Gadite, and the Reubenite, and the Manassite), from Aroer which [is] by the River Arnon, and Gilead and Bashan.
2 Kings 10:34	And the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Israel?
2 Kings 10:35	And Jehu rested with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 10:36	And the days that Jehu reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
2 Kings 11:1	And Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, and she arose and destroyed all the seed of the kingdom.
2 Kings 11:2	And Jehosheba the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and she stole him away from the midst of the sons of the king who were to be killed. And [with] his nurse in the bedroom they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not killed.
2 Kings 11:3	And he was with her in the house of YHWH, hidden six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land.
2 Kings 11:4	And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and brought the heads of the hundreds, the Carites, and the runners, and he brought them to him into the house of YHWH. And he made with them a covenant and took an oath from them in the house of YHWH. And he showed them the son of the king.
2 Kings 11:5	And he commanded them, saying, “This [is] the thing that you⁺ shall do: A third of you⁺ who come on duty on the Sabbath shall be keeping the watch over the house of the king,
2 Kings 11:6	and a third at the gate of Sur, and a third at the gate behind the runners. And you⁺ shall keep the watch of the house pulled down.
2 Kings 11:7	And the two hands of you⁺ who go off duty on the Sabbath shall keep the watch of the house of YHWH for the king.
2 Kings 11:8	And you⁺ shall surround upon the king on all sides, each man and his weapons in his hand. And he who is coming to the ranks will be killed. And You are to be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.”
2 Kings 11:9	And the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and took each of them his men—those going in on the Sabbath with those going out on the Sabbath—and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
2 Kings 11:10	And the priest gave the captains of the hundreds the spears and the shields that [were] unto King David, which [were] in the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 11:11	And the runners stood, each man and his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and the house, upon the king all around.
2 Kings 11:12	And he brought out the son of the king and put on him the diadem and the Testimony. And they made him king and anointed him, and they clapped their hands and said, “Long live the king.”
2 Kings 11:13	And Athaliah heard the voice of the runners [and] of the people, and she came to the people [in] the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 11:14	And she looked, and behold, the king was standing by a pillar according to custom, and the leaders and the trumpets by the king. And all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing with the trumpets. And Athaliah tore her clothes and cried out, “Treason! Treason!”
2 Kings 11:15	And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, inspectors of the army, and said to them, “Take her outside to the house between the ranks, and the one who comes after her put to death with the sword.” For the priest had said, “Do not let her be killed in the house of YHWH.”
2 Kings 11:16	And they seized her hands, and she went by way of the entrance of the horses to the house of the king, and she was put to death there.
2 Kings 11:17	And Jehoiada cut a covenant between YHWH and between the king and between the people, that they should be a people of YHWH—and also between the king and between the people.
2 Kings 11:18	And all the people of the land went to the house of the Baal and tore it down. Its altars and images they broke in pieces thoroughly, and Mattan the priest of the Baal they killed before the face of the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 11:19	And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Carites, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they brought down the king from the house of YHWH, and they went by way of the gate of the runners to the house of the king. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
2 Kings 11:20	And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. For they had killed Athaliah with the sword [in] the house of the king.
2 Kings 11:21	Jehoash [was] a son of seven years in his reigning.
2 Kings 12:1	In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king. And forty years he reigned in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Kings 12:2	And Jehoash did right in the eyes of YHWH all the days in which Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
2 Kings 12:3	But the high places were not taken away; still the people sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
2 Kings 12:4	And Jehoash said to the priests, “All the silver of the holy things that are brought into the house of YHWH, the silver of passing over of each man, the silver of his valuation assessment, [and] all the silver that a man purposes in his heart to bring into the house of YHWH,
2 Kings 12:5	let the priests take [it] unto themselves, each from his constituency, and they shall strengthen the breach of the house in every [place] where there is found a breach.”
2 Kings 12:6	And it was by the twentieth year and third year of King Jehoash, [that] the priests had not strengthened the breach of the house.
2 Kings 12:7	And King Jehoash called to Jehoiada the priest, and to the priests, and he said to them, “Why have you⁺ not strengthened the breach of the house? And now take no more silver from your⁺ constituency, but for the breach of the house give it.”
2 Kings 12:8	And the priests agreed to receive no more silver from the people, nor to strengthen the breach of the house.
2 Kings 12:9	And Jehoiada the priest took one chest and bored a hole in its lid and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of YHWH. And the priests who kept the door put there all the silver brought into the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 12:10	And it was, at their seeing that [there was] much silver in the chest, that came up a scribe of the king and the high priest, and they bound [it] up and counted the silver found in the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 12:11	And they gave the weighed silver into the hands of those who did the work, those inspecting the house of YHWH, and they paid it out to the carpenters and to the builders making the house of YHWH,
2 Kings 12:12	and to the masons, and to hewers of stone, and for buying timber and hewn stone to strengthen the breach of the house of YHWH, and for all that went out upon the temple to strengthen it.
2 Kings 12:13	However, there were not made for the house of YHWH basins of silver, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, trumpets, [or] any articles of gold or articles of silver, from the silver brought into the house of YHWH;
2 Kings 12:14	but they gave to those doing the work, and they strengthened with it the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 12:15	And they did not require an account with the men whom into their hands they delivered the silver to be paid to those doing the work, for in faithfulness they were acting.
2 Kings 12:16	The silver from the guilt offerings and the silver from the sin offerings was not brought into the house of YHWH; to the priests it belonged.
2 Kings 12:17	Then went up Hazael king of Aram and fought against Gath and captured it. And Hazael set his face to go up against Jerusalem.
2 Kings 12:18	And Jehoash king of Judah took all the holy things that Jehoshaphat, and Joram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own sacred things, and all the gold found in the treasuries of the house of YHWH and in the house of the king. And he sent [them] to Hazael king of Aram. And he went up from Jerusalem.
2 Kings 12:19	And the rest of the acts of Joash and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 12:20	And his servants arose and formed a conspiracy, and they killed Joash at Beth-millo, which goes down to Silla.
2 Kings 12:21	For Jozabad son of Shimeath and Jehozabad son of Shomer, his servants, struck him down, and he died. And they buried him with his fathers in the City of David, and Amaziah his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 13:1	In the twentieth year and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king over Israel in Samaria seventeen years.
2 Kings 13:2	And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH and went after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. He did not depart from them.
2 Kings 13:3	And the anger of YHWH was kindled against Israel, and He delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben-hadad son of Hazael, all the days.
2 Kings 13:4	And Jehoahaz pleaded before YHWH, and YHWH listened to him. For He saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Aram oppressed them.
2 Kings 13:5	And YHWH gave to Israel a deliverer, and they went out from under the hand of Aram. And the sons of Israel dwelt in their tents as yesterday and the day before yesterday.
2 Kings 13:6	Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam who had caused Israel to sin. They walked in them, and also the wooden image remained in Samaria.
2 Kings 13:7	For He left remaining none of the people of Jehoahaz, but only fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers; for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust for threshing.
2 Kings 13:8	And the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Israel?

2 Kings 17:7	And it came to pass that the sons of Israel had sinned against YHWH their God who had brought them up out of the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And they had feared other gods,
2 Kings 17:8	and they had walked in the statutes of the nations whom YHWH had cast out from before the sons of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
2 Kings 17:9	And the sons of Israel secretly did things that [were] not right against YHWH their God, and they built for themselves high places in all their cities, from a tower of the watchers to a fortified city.
2 Kings 17:10	And they set up for themselves pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
2 Kings 17:11	And they burned incense there on all the high places, like the nations whom YHWH had carried away before them, and they did wicked things to provoke YHWH.
2 Kings 17:12	For they served the idols of which YHWH had said to them, “You⁺ shall not do this thing.”
2 Kings 17:13	And YHWH testified against Israel and against Judah by all His prophets [and] every seer, saying, “Turn from your⁺ evil ways and keep My commandments [and] My statutes, according to all of the Law that I commanded your⁺ fathers, and that I sent to you⁺ by My servants the prophets.”

2 Kings 17:15	And they rejected His statutes, and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies that He had testified against them. And they followed after the idols, and they became empty and [went] after the nations who [were] all around them, whom YHWH had commanded them that they should not do like them.
2 Kings 17:16	And they left all the commandments of YHWH their God, and they made for themselves a molten image [and] two calves, and they made an Asherah pole and bowed low to all the host of the heavens, and they served the Baal.
2 Kings 17:17	And their sons and daughters they caused to pass through the fire, and they practiced divination and soothsaying and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke Him.

2 Kings 17:19	Even Judah did not keep the commandments of YHWH their God, and they walked in the statutes of Israel that they made.
2 Kings 17:20	And YHWH rejected all the seed of Israel, and He afflicted them and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until that He had cast them away from his face.
2 Kings 17:21	For He tore Israel from the house of David, and they made king Jeroboam son of Nebat. And Jeroboam drove away Israel from following YHWH, and he made them sin a great sin.
2 Kings 17:22	For the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam that he did. They did not depart from them
2 Kings 17:23	until that YHWH turned aside Israel from His presence, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. And Israel was carried away from their own land to Assyria, to this day.
2 Kings 17:24	And the king of Assyria brought in those from Babylon and Cuthah and Ava and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and he caused [them] to dwell in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of Israel. And they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities.
2 Kings 17:25	And it was at the beginning of their dwelling there [that] they did not fear YHWH, and YHWH sent among them the lions, and they were killing among them.
2 Kings 17:26	And they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the God of the land, and he has sent among them the lions. And behold, they are killing them because they do not know the custom of the God of the land.”
2 Kings 17:27	And the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Send there one of the priests whom you⁺ carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the custom of the God of the land.”
2 Kings 17:28	And one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came, and he dwelt in Bethel and taught them how they should fear YHWH.
2 Kings 17:29	And they were making, each nation its gods, and they set them up in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made—each nation in the cities where they dwelt there.
2 Kings 17:30	And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
2 Kings 17:31	and the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
2 Kings 17:32	And they feared YHWH, and they made for themselves from every class priests of the high places, and they were acting for them in the shrines of the high places.
2 Kings 17:33	They were fearing YHWH, and they were serving their own gods according to the custom of the nations that they were carried away from there.
2 Kings 17:34	To this day they continue practicing the former customs; they do not fear YHWH, and they do not follow according to their statutes, or according to their ordinances, or according to the law and the commandment that YHWH had commanded the sons of Jacob, whom He named Israel.
2 Kings 17:35	And YHWH had cut a covenant with them and commanded them, saying, “You⁺ shall not fear other gods, and not bow low to them, and not serve them, and not sacrifice to them.
2 Kings 17:36	For but YHWH, who brought you⁺ up from the land of Egypt with great power and an outstretched arm, Him you⁺ shall fear, and Him you⁺ shall worship, and to Him you⁺ shall offer sacrifices.
2 Kings 17:37	And the statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment that He wrote for you⁺, you⁺ shall be careful to observe, all the days. And you⁺ shall not fear other gods.
2 Kings 17:38	And the covenant that I have made with you⁺, you⁺ shall not forget. And you⁺ shall not fear other gods.
2 Kings 17:39	For but YHWH your⁺ God you⁺ shall fear, and He will snatch you⁺ up from the hand of all your⁺ enemies.”
2 Kings 17:40	But they did not obey, for they acted according to their former custom.
2 Kings 17:41	And it came to pass [that] these nations feared YHWH, and their carved images they were serving—also their sons and the sons of their sons. As their fathers did, they are doing even to this day.
2 Kings 18:1	And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings 18:2	He was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Abi daughter of Zechariah.
2 Kings 18:3	And he did right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done.
2 Kings 18:4	He turned aside the high places, and he shattered the pillars, and he cut down the Asherah pole, and he crushed the bronze serpent that Moses had made. For until those days the sons of Israel were burning incense to it and calling it Nehushtan.
2 Kings 18:5	He trusted in YHWH, God of Israel, and after him none was like him among all the kings of Judah, nor those who were before him.
2 Kings 18:6	And he clung to YHWH; he did not depart from after Him, and he kept His commandments that YHWH had commanded Moses.
2 Kings 18:7	And YHWH was with him; in every [place] where he went, he prospered. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria and did not serve him.
2 Kings 18:8	He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza and its border, from a tower of watchers to a fortified city.
2 Kings 18:9	And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—it [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel—[that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and laid siege to it.
2 Kings 18:10	And they took it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Hezekiah (it [was] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel), Samaria was captured.
2 Kings 18:11	And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and he led them to Halah, and to Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and [to] the cities of the Medes,
2 Kings 18:12	because that they did not obey the voice of YHWH their God, and they transgressed His covenant [and] all that Moses the servant of YHWH had commanded, and they would not hear nor do [it].
2 Kings 18:13	And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and he seized them.
2 Kings 18:14	And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; turn away from me; that which you impose on me I will bear.” And the king of Assyria laid upon Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
2 Kings 18:15	And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver found in the house of YHWH and in the treasuries of the house of the king.
2 Kings 18:16	At that time Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of YHWH and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and he gave them to the king of Assyria.
2 Kings 18:17	And the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rabsaris and the Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And they went up and came in and stood by the conduit of the upper pool that [was] on the highway to the Field of the Fuller.
2 Kings 18:18	And they called to the king, and there came out to them Eliakim son of Hilkiah who [was] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder.
2 Kings 18:19	And the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What [is] this confidence in which you trust?
2 Kings 18:20	You say: But a word of the lips, counsel and strength for war. And on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
2 Kings 18:21	Now behold, You are trusting for yourself on the staff of this broken reed—on Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. Thus [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
2 Kings 18:22	But if you⁺ say to me, ‘In YHWH our God we trust,’ is [it] not He [for] whom His high places and His altars Hezekiah has taken away, and he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You⁺ shall bow low before this altar in Jerusalem’?
2 Kings 18:23	And now give a pledge, please, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give to you two thousand horses, if you are able to put for yourself riders on them.
2 Kings 18:24	And how will you turn back the face of a captain of one of the least of the servants of my master, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
2 Kings 18:25	Now is [it] without YHWH [that] I have come up against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
2 Kings 18:26	And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, said to the Rabshakeh, “Speak, please, to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand [it], and do not speak with us in Judean in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
2 Kings 18:27	And the Rabshakeh said to them, “And is [it] for your master, to you [only], [that] my master has sent me to speak these words? Is [it] not for the men sitting on the wall, [who are] to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you⁺?”
2 Kings 18:28	And the Rabshakeh stood and called out in a loud voice in Judean, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
2 Kings 18:29	Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you⁺, for he shall not be able to deliver you⁺ from his hand.
2 Kings 18:30	And do not let Hezekiah make you⁺ trust in YHWH, saying, ‘YHWH will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
2 Kings 18:31	Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria: Make with me a blessing, and come out to me, and eat, each man from his own vine, and each man from his own fig tree, and drink each man the waters of his own cistern,
2 Kings 18:32	until I come and take you⁺ away to a land like your⁺ own land—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil and honey—that you⁺ may live and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you⁺, saying, ‘YHWH will deliver us.’
2 Kings 18:33	Have any gods of the nations ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
2 Kings 18:34	Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim and Hena and Ivah? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
2 Kings 18:35	Who among all the gods of the countries have delivered their lands from my hand, that YHWH should deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
2 Kings 18:36	And the people kept silent and did not answer him a word, for it was the command from the king, saying, “Do not answer him.”
2 Kings 18:37	And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the house, came—and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder—to Hezekiah with torn clothes, and they declared to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
2 Kings 19:1	And it came to pass when King Hezekiah heard [it] that he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth and went into the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 19:2	And he sent Eliakim who [was] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet son of Amoz.
2 Kings 19:3	And they said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress and rebuke and blasphemy, for the sons have come to birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
2 Kings 19:4	Perhaps YHWH your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and he will decide concerning the words that YHWH your God has heard. And you shall lift up a prayer for the remnant that is found.”
2 Kings 19:5	And the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
2 Kings 19:6	And Isaiah said to them, “Thus you⁺ shall say to your⁺ master, thus says YHWH: ‘Do not be afraid in the face of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
2 Kings 19:7	Surely I will send upon him a spirit, and he will hear a report and return to his own land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.’”
2 Kings 19:8	And the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had pulled out from Lachish.
2 Kings 19:9	And he heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to make war with you.” And he turned and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
2 Kings 19:10	“Thus you⁺ shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2 Kings 19:11	Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, devoting them to destruction. And shall you be delivered?
2 Kings 19:12	Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who [were] in Telassar?
2 Kings 19:13	Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?’”
2 Kings 19:14	And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it and went up to the house of YHWH. And Hezekiah spread it out before the face of YHWH.
2 Kings 19:15	And Hezekiah prayed before the face of YHWH and said, “O YHWH, God of Israel, dwelling [between] the cherubim, You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.
2 Kings 19:16	Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and listen to the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
2 Kings 19:17	Truly, O YHWH, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
2 Kings 19:18	and they have given their gods into the fire, for they [were] not gods, but rather the work of the hands of men—wood and stone. And they have destroyed them.
2 Kings 19:19	And now, O YHWH our God, save us, please, from his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth will know that You, O YHWH, [are] God—you alone.”
2 Kings 19:20	And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.
2 Kings 19:21	This [is] the word that YHWH has spoken concerning him: ‘She despises you and mocks you, the virgin daughter of Zion. Behind you she has shaken [her] head, the daughter of Jerusalem.
2 Kings 19:22	Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised [your] voice, and lifted up on high your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
2 Kings 19:23	By your messengers you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: “By the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the limits of Lebanon. And I will cut down the height of its cedars, the choice of its cypresses, and I will enter the ends of its borders, the forest of its orchard.
2 Kings 19:24	I have dug and I have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the soles of my feet all the brooks of Egypt.”
2 Kings 19:25	Did you not hear? Long ago I made it, and from ancient times I formed it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should be for crushing [into] heaps of ruins fortified cities.
2 Kings 19:26	Therefore their dwellers are feeble of hand; they are dismayed and ashamed. They were [as] the grass of the field, and the greenness of the tender grass, [as] the grass of the roofs, and blighted before the face of standing grain.
2 Kings 19:27	And your dwelling place, and Your going out, and your coming in I know—and your raging against Me.
2 Kings 19:28	Because your raging against me and your tumult have come up to My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way in which you came.’
2 Kings 19:29	And this [is] a sign to you: You shall eat this year what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. And in the third year you will sow and reap; and you will plant vineyards and eat their fruits.
2 Kings 19:30	And it will continue—the escaped of the house of Judah, the remnant, a root downward, and it will make fruit upward.
2 Kings 19:31	For out of Jerusalem will go forth a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] will do this.
2 Kings 19:32	Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He shall not come into this city, nor will he shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a mound against it.
2 Kings 19:33	By the way that he came in he will return, and into this city he shall not come,’ a declaration of YHWH.
2 Kings 19:34	‘For I will cover over this city to save it for My own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.’”
2 Kings 19:35	And it came to pass on that night that the angel of YHWH went out, and he struck in the camp of Assyria a hundred eighty-five thousand; and they rose early in the morning, and behold, all [were] dead corpses!
2 Kings 19:36	And Sennacherib king of Assyria pulled out and went away, and he returned and dwelt in Nineveh.
2 Kings 19:37	And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the temple of Nisroch his god, that [his sons] Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 20:1	In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet went to him and said to him, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Set in order your house, for you shall die and not live.’”
2 Kings 20:2	And he turned his face toward the wall and prayed to YHWH, saying,
2 Kings 20:3	“Please, O YHWH, remember now how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and I have done good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept a great weeping.
2 Kings 20:4	And it came to pass—Isaiah had not gone out to the middle courtyard—that the word of YHWH came to him, saying,
2 Kings 20:5	“Return and say to Hezekiah the leader of My people, thus says YHWH, the God of David your father: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 20:6	And I will add to your days fifteen years, and from the hand of the king of Assyria I will deliver you and this city, and I will cover over this city for My own sake and for the sake of David My servant.’”
2 Kings 20:7	And Isaiah said, “Take a cake of figs.” And they took it and laid [it] on the boil, and he recovered.
2 Kings 20:8	And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “What [is] the sign that YHWH will heal me, that I shall go up the third day to the house of YHWH?”
2 Kings 20:9	And Isaiah said, “This [is] to you the sign from YHWH, that YHWH will do the thing that He has spoken: Shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go backward ten degrees?”
2 Kings 20:10	And Hezekiah answered, “It is light for the shadow to lengthen ten degrees. No, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees.”
2 Kings 20:11	And Isaiah the prophet cried out to YHWH, and He brought back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down on the steps of Ahaz—backward ten degrees.
2 Kings 20:12	At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
2 Kings 20:13	And Hezekiah listened to them and showed them all the house of his treasure—the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and and the house of his armor, and all that was found among his treasures. There was not a thing that Hezekiah did not show them in his house and in all his dominion.
2 Kings 20:14	And Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and said to him, “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said, “They came from a distant land, from Babylon.”
2 Kings 20:15	And he said, “What have they seen in your house?” And Hezekiah said, “All that [is] in my house, they have seen. There is not a thing that I have not shown them among my treasures.”
2 Kings 20:16	And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of YHWH:
2 Kings 20:17	Behold, the days are coming, and will be lifted all that [is] in your house and that your fathers have accumulated until this day, to Babylon. Not a thing will be left, says YHWH.
2 Kings 20:18	And some of your sons who will go forth from you, whom you will beget, they will be taken and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
2 Kings 20:19	And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of YHWH that you have spoken [is] good.” For he said, “Why not, if there will be peace and security in my days?”
2 Kings 20:20	And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool and the tunnel and brought the water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 20:21	And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 21:1	Manasseh [was] a son of twelve years in his reigning, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. And the name of his mother [was] Hephzi-bah.
2 Kings 21:2	And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH, according to the abominations of the nations whom YHWH had cast out before the sons of Israel.
2 Kings 21:3	And he turned and built the high places that Hezekiah his father had destroyed, and he raised up altars for Baal and made an Asherah pole, as had done Ahab king of Israel, and he worshiped all the host of the heavens and served them.
2 Kings 21:4	And He built altars in the house of YHWH, of which YHWH had said, “In Jerusalem I will put My Name.”
2 Kings 21:5	And he built altars for all the host of the heavens in the two courts of the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 21:6	And he made his son pass through the fire, and he practiced divination and used witchcraft and consulted a medium and spiritists. He multiplied to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, to provoke [Him] to anger.
2 Kings 21:7	And he set a carved image of Asherah that He had made in the house of which YHWH had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.
2 Kings 21:8	And I will not add to make wander the feet of Israel from the land that I gave to their fathers, only if they are careful to do according to all that I have commanded them and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.”
2 Kings 21:9	And they did not listen, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations whom YHWH had destroyed before the sons of Israel.
2 Kings 21:10	And YHWH spoke by His servants the prophets, saying,
2 Kings 21:11	“Because that Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations, he has acted more wickedly than all that the Amorite did who [were] before him, and also he has caused Judah to sin with his idols.
2 Kings 21:12	Therefore thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing in calamity upon Jerusalem and Judah, that everyone who hears it, the two of his ears will tingle.
2 Kings 21:13	And I will stretch out over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plumb line of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe out Jerusalem as one wipes the bowl, wiping [it] and turning [it] upon its face.
2 Kings 21:14	And I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance, and I will give them into the hand of their enemies, and they shall become plunder and spoil to all their enemies,
2 Kings 21:15	because that they have done evil in My eyes and have provoked Me to anger since the day that their fathers came out of Egypt and up to this day.’”
2 Kings 21:16	And also Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, until that he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another, besides his sin by which he caused Judah to sin by doing evil in the eyes of YHWH.
2 Kings 21:17	And the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 21:18	And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And Amon his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 21:19	Amon [was] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and two years he reigned in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Meshullemeth daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
2 Kings 21:20	And he did evil in the eyes of YHWH, as Manasseh his father had done.
2 Kings 21:21	And he walked in all the ways that his father had walked, and he served the idols that his father had served, and he bowed low to them.
2 Kings 21:22	And He forsook YHWH, God of his fathers, and he did not walk in the way of YHWH.
2 Kings 21:23	And the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed the king in his own house.
2 Kings 21:24	And the people of the land struck all those who had conspired against King Amon, and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his place.
2 Kings 21:25	And the rest of the acts of Amon that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Judah?
2 Kings 21:26	And he was buried in his tomb in the garden of Uzza. And Josiah his son reigned in his place.
2 Kings 22:1	Josiah [was] a son of eight years in his reigning, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem. And the name of his mother [was] Jedidah daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.
2 Kings 22:2	And he did right in the eyes of YHWH and walked in all the ways of David his father, and he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
2 Kings 22:3	And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, [that] the King sent Shaphan son of Azaliah son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of YHWH, saying,
2 Kings 22:4	“Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, and he will completely count the silver that was brought into the house of YHWH, which the keepers of the threshold have gathered from the people.
2 Kings 22:5	And let them deliver it into the hand of those doing the work, who are the overseers in the house of YHWH, and let them give it to those doing the work that [is] in the house of YHWH, to repair the damage of the house,
2 Kings 22:6	to the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to strengthen the house.
2 Kings 22:7	However, of the silver delivered into their hands there need not be accounting made with them, because they work with faithfulness.”
2 Kings 22:8	And Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, “I have found the book of the Law in the house of YHWH.” And Hilkiah gave the Book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2 Kings 22:9	And Shaphan the scribe went to the king, and the king brought back word and said, “Your servants have gathered the silver found in the house, and they have delivered it into the hand of those who do the work, who oversee the house of YHWH.”
2 Kings 22:10	And Shaphan the scribe declared to the king, saying, “Hilkiah the priest has given a book to me.” And Shaphan read it before the face of the king.
2 Kings 22:11	And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his garments.
2 Kings 22:12	And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Achbor son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah servant of the king, saying:
2 Kings 22:13	“Go, inquire of YHWH for me and for the people and for all Judah concerning the words of this book that has been found, for great [is] the wrath of YHWH that is aroused against us, upon that our fathers have not listened to the words of this book, to do according to all that is written about us.”
2 Kings 22:14	And Hilkiah the priest went, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, to Huldah the prophetess the wife of Shallum son of Tikvah, son of Harhas keeper of the garments. And she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Mishneh, and they spoke with her.
2 Kings 22:15	And she said to them, “Thus says YHWH, God of Israel, ‘Say to the man who sent you⁺ to Me,
2 Kings 22:16	thus says YHWH: Behold, I will bring calamity on this place and on its dwellers—all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read,
2 Kings 22:17	because that they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, in order to provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. And My wrath will be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.’
2 Kings 22:18	And as for the king of Judah who sent you⁺ to inquire of YHWH, in this manner you⁺ shall speak to him: Thus says YHWH, God of Israel: ‘The words that you have heard—
2 Kings 22:19	because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before YHWH when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its dwellers, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard’—the declaration of YHWH.
2 Kings 22:20	‘Therefore behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace. And your eyes shall not see all the calamity that I will bring on this place.’” And they brought back her word to the king.
2 Kings 23:1	And the king sent them, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Kings 23:2	And the king went up to the house of YHWH, and all the men of Judah, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people from small and to great, and he read in their ears all the words of the Book of the Covenant found in the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 23:3	And the king stood by the pillar, and he cut the covenant before the face of YHWH, to walk after YHWH and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all the heart and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant written in this book. And all the people stood in the covenant.
2 Kings 23:4	And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second rank, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the temple of YHWH all the articles made for the Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of the heavens. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
2 Kings 23:5	And he removed the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained (and they burned incense on the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem) and those who burned incense to the Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of the heavens.
2 Kings 23:6	And he brought the Asherah pole from the house of YHWH outside Jerusalem to the Kidron Valley, and he burned it in the Kidron Valley, of and he crushed it to a dust, and threw its dust on the graves of the sons of the people.
2 Kings 23:7	And he tore down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that [were] in the house of YHWH, where the women had woven houses for the Asherah.
2 Kings 23:8	And he brought all the priests from the cities of Judah, and he defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense there, from Geba to Beersheba, and he broke down the high places of the gates that [were] at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, that [were] on the left of a man at the gate of the city.
2 Kings 23:9	Only the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of YHWH in Jerusalem, but rather they ate unleavened things in the midst of their brothers.
2 Kings 23:10	And he defiled Topheth, which [is] in the Valley of of Ben-hinnom, so that no man could pass his son or his daughter through the fire to Molech.
2 Kings 23:11	And he removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun from the entrance to the house of YHWH, by the chamber of Nathan-melech the officer, who [was] in the parbarim. And the chariots of the sun he burned with the fire.
2 Kings 23:12	And the altars that [were] on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars that Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of YHWH, the king broke down and pulverized them there, and he threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
2 Kings 23:13	And the high places that [were] on the face of Jerusalem, that [were] on the right of the Mount of Corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the sons of Ammon, the king defiled.
2 Kings 23:14	And he broke in pieces the pillars, and he cut down the Asherah poles, and he filled their places with the bones of men.
2 Kings 23:15	Moreover the altar that [was] at Bethel [and] the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat had made, who had caused caused Israel to sin—both that altar and the high place—he broke down, and he burned the high place [and] crushed [it] to powder, and he burned the Asherah pole.
2 Kings 23:16	And Josiah turned, and he saw the tombs that [were] there on the mountain, and he sent and took the bones out of the tombs and he burned [them] on the altar and defiled it according to the word of YHWH that the man of God had proclaimed, who had proclaimed these words.
2 Kings 23:17	And he said, “What [is] this monument that I see?” And the men of the city said to him, “[It is] the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
2 Kings 23:18	And he said, “Let him alone. Let no man move his bones.” And his bones they let alone with the bones of the prophet who came from Samaria.
2 Kings 23:19	And also all the shrines of the high places that [were] in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke anger, Josiah took away. And he did to them according to all the deeds that he had done in Bethel.
2 Kings 23:20	And he slaughtered all the priests of the high places who [were] there on the altars, and he burned the bones of man on them. And he returned to Jerusalem.
2 Kings 23:21	And the king commanded all the people, saying, “Make a Passover to YHWH your⁺ God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
2 Kings 23:22	For it had not been done like this Passover since the days of the judges who judged Israel, and all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.
2 Kings 23:23	But rather in the eighteenth year of King Josiah this Passover was done to YHWH in Jerusalem.
2 Kings 23:24	Moreover, the mediums, and the spiritists, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, that he would cause to stand the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of YHWH.
2 Kings 23:25	And there was none like him before his face, a king who turned to YHWH with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses—and after him not one has arisen like him.

1 Chronicles 17:3	And it came to pass in that night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
1 Chronicles 17:4	“Go and tell unto David My servant, thus says YHWH: You shall not build Me a house to dwell in.
1 Chronicles 17:5	For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel [out of Egypt], even to this day, and I have been from tent to tent, and from the Dwelling Place.
1 Chronicles 17:6	In all where I have walked among all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to one of the leaders of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you⁺ not built for Me a house of cedars?’
1 Chronicles 17:7	And now, thus shall you say to My servant David: Thus says YHWH of Hosts: I took you from the sheepfold, from after the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.
1 Chronicles 17:8	And I have been with you in all to which you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before your face, and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who [are] on the earth.
1 Chronicles 17:9	And I will set a place for My people Israel, and I will plant them, and they will settle in their place, and they shall not be disturbed anymore, nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore as at the beginning
1 Chronicles 17:10	and since the days that I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. And I declare to you that YHWH will build a house for you.
1 Chronicles 17:11	And it shall come to pass, when your days are fulfilled and you go with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you who will be from your sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
1 Chronicles 17:12	He will build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne even to forever.
1 Chronicles 17:13	I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And My loving devotion I will not turn aside from him as I turned it aside from [him] who was before you.
1 Chronicles 17:14	And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom even to forever, and his throne will be established even to forever.”
1 Chronicles 17:15	According to all these words and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
1 Chronicles 17:16	And King David went in and sat before the face of YHWH, and he said, “Who [am] I, O YHWH God, and what [is] my house, that You have brought me as far as here?
1 Chronicles 17:17	And this was a small thing in your eyes, O God, and You have spoken of the house of Your servant afar off, and have regarded me as a type of the man on high, O YHWH God.
1 Chronicles 17:18	What more can David [say] to You for the honor of Your servant? For You know Your servant.
1 Chronicles 17:19	O YHWH, For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart You have done all this greatness, in making known all these great [things].
1 Chronicles 17:20	O YHWH, none [is] like You, and [there is] no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

1 Chronicles 17:22	For You have made Your people Israel Your very own people even to forever, and You, O YHWH, have become to them God.
1 Chronicles 17:23	And now, O YHWH, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, may it be confirmed even to forever, and do as You have spoken.
1 Chronicles 17:24	And may Your name be confirmed, even magnified, forever, saying, ‘YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, [is] God to Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
1 Chronicles 17:25	For You, my God, have uncovered the ear to Your servant, that You will build for him a house. Upon thus Your servant has found it to pray before You.
1 Chronicles 17:26	And now, O YHWH, You are God, and You spoke to Your servant this goodness.
1 Chronicles 17:27	And You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may be forever before You. For You, O YHWH, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

1 Chronicles 21:23	And Ornan said to David, “Take [it] to yourself, and let my lord the king do good in his eyes. See, I give [you] the oxen for burnt offerings, and the threshing sledges for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; all I have given.”
1 Chronicles 21:24	And King David said to Ornan, “No, but I will surely buy [it] for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for YHWH, so as to offer a burnt offering without cost.”

1 Chronicles 22:6	And he called for Solomon his son, and he commanded him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel.
1 Chronicles 22:7	And David said to Solomon, “My son, [as for] me, it was in my mind to build a house for the Name of YHWH my God.

1 Chronicles 29:5	even the gold for the [things of] gold, and the silver for the [things of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of craftsmen. And who is willing to consecrate himself today to YHWH?”

1 Chronicles 29:12	And the riches and the honor [are] from before You, and You reign over all, and in Your hand [is] power and might, and in Your hand [is] to exalt and to give strength to all.
1 Chronicles 29:13	And now, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.
1 Chronicles 29:14	But who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we should retain power like this to offer freely? For from You [are] all things, and from Your hand we have given to You.
1 Chronicles 29:15	For we [are] sojourners before You, and pilgrims, as all our fathers. As a shadow [are] our days on the earth, and without hope.
1 Chronicles 29:16	O YHWH our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build for You a house—for Your holy name—is from Your hand, and all [is] unto You.
1 Chronicles 29:17	And I know, my God, that You examine the heart, and in uprightness You are pleased. I, in the uprightness of my heart, I have offered freely all these [things]; and now Your people found here I have seen with joy to offer freely to You.

2 Chronicles 1:10	Now give to me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out before this people and come in. For who can judge this great people of Yours?”
2 Chronicles 1:11	And God said to Solomon, “Because that this was in your heart, and you have not requested riches, or wealth, or honor, or the life of your enemies, and even long life you have not requested—and you have requested for yourself wisdom and knowledge that you may judge My people, whom I have made you king over them—
2 Chronicles 1:12	the wisdom and the knowledge [are] granted to you, and riches and wealth and honor I will give to you, such as has not been so to the kings who [were] before you, and after you will not be thus.”

Forever this [is] upon Israel.
2 Chronicles 2:5	And the temple that I am building [will be] great, for our God is greater than all the gods.
2 Chronicles 2:6	And who can keep strength to build unto Him a temple, since the heavens and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain Him? And who [am] I that I should build unto Him a temple, for but to burn sacrifices before Him?
2 Chronicles 2:7	And now send to me a skillful man to work in the gold, and in the silver, and in the bronze, and in the iron, and in the purple and crimson and blue, and who has skill in engraving engravings with the wise who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father prepared.
2 Chronicles 2:8	And send to me cedar trees, and cypress, and algums from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut trees of Lebanon. And behold, my servants [will be] with your servants,
2 Chronicles 2:9	to prepare for me trees in abundance, because the house that I am building [is] great and wonderful.
2 Chronicles 2:10	And behold, to the wood cutters cutting the trees, to your servants, I will give ground wheat, twenty thousand cors, and barley, twenty thousand cors, and wine, twenty thousand baths, and oil, twenty thousand baths.”
2 Chronicles 2:11	And Huram king of Tyre answered in writing, and he sent to Solomon: “In the love of YHWH to His people, He has set you as king over them.”

2 Chronicles 2:13	And I have sent a wise man, knowing with understanding, Huram-abi,
2 Chronicles 2:14	son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre, skilled to work in the gold, and in the silver, in the bronze, in the iron, in the stones, and in the wood, in purple, [and] in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave any engraving, and to accomplish any device that may be given to him with your wise ones, and with wise ones of my lord David your father.
2 Chronicles 2:15	And now the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants.
2 Chronicles 2:16	And we will cut trees from Lebanon, according to all your need, and we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will bring them up to Jerusalem.”

2 Chronicles 3:2	And he began to build in the second month, on the second, in the fourth year of his reign.

2 Chronicles 3:4	And the portico that [was] in the front, the length on the front of the width of the house [was] twenty cubits, and the height [was] twenty, and He overlaid the inside with pure gold.
2 Chronicles 3:5	And the larger room he paneled with cypress, and he overlaid it with fine gold, and he carved on it palm trees and chains.

2 Chronicles 3:12	And the wing of the other cherub [was] five cubits, touching the wall of the room, and the other wing five cubits, adhering to the wing of the other cherub.
2 Chronicles 3:13	The wings of these cherubim spanned overall twenty cubits, and they stood on their feet, and they faced inward.
2 Chronicles 3:14	And he made the veil of blue and purple and crimson and fine linen, and he brought up cherubim into it.
2 Chronicles 3:15	And he made at the front of the house two pillars, thirty-five cubits high, and the capital that [was] on its head five cubits.
2 Chronicles 3:16	And He made chains as in the inner sanctuary and put [them] on the head of the pillars, and he made a hundred pomegranates and put [them] on the chains.
2 Chronicles 3:17	And he set up the pillars upon the face of the temple, one on the right hand and one on the left. And he called the name on the right hand Jachin, and the name on the left Boaz.
2 Chronicles 4:1	And he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.
2 Chronicles 4:2	And he made the molten Sea, ten by the cubit from one brim to the other, round in compass, and five cubits its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounding it all around.
2 Chronicles 4:3	And the likeness of oxen [was] under it encompassing it all around, ten to a cubit, encircling around the Sea. [In] two rows the oxen were cast in its being cast.
2 Chronicles 4:4	It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the sea [was] upon them, and all their hindquarters [were] inward.
2 Chronicles 4:5	And its thickness [was] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup, a lily blossom, taking hold. It contained three thousand baths.
2 Chronicles 4:6	And He made ten basins, and he put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; the work of the burnt offering they would wash in them. And the Sea [was] for the priests to wash in.
2 Chronicles 4:7	And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their ordinance and set [them] in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.
2 Chronicles 4:8	And he made ten tables and placed [them] in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred bowls of gold.
2 Chronicles 4:9	And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and the doors for the court, and their doors he overlaid with bronze.
2 Chronicles 4:10	And the Sea he set on the right side eastward, over against the south.
2 Chronicles 4:11	And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. And Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon in the house of God:
2 Chronicles 4:12	The two pillars; and the bowls, and the capitals on top of the two pillars; and the two networks covering the two bowls of the capitals that [were] on top of the pillars;
2 Chronicles 4:13	and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that [were] on the face of the pillars);
2 Chronicles 4:14	and also he made the carts; and he made the basins on the carts;
2 Chronicles 4:15	the one Sea, and the twelve oxen under it;
2 Chronicles 4:16	and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their articles. Huram-Abi made [these] for King Solomon for the house of YHWH of polished bronze.
2 Chronicles 4:17	In the plain of the Jordan the king had cast them in the thick soil of the ground between Succoth and between Zeredah.
2 Chronicles 4:18	And Solomon had made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not to be sought out.
2 Chronicles 4:19	And Solomon made all the furnishings for the house of God: The altar of gold; and the tables, and on them the Bread of the Presence;
2 Chronicles 4:20	and the lampstands, and their lamps to burn according to the ordinance in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
2 Chronicles 4:21	and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold—it [was] the perfection of gold;
2 Chronicles 4:22	and the trimmers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the firepans, of refined gold; and the opening of the house, its inner doors to the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, of gold.
2 Chronicles 5:1	And all the work that Solomon had done for the house of YHWH was finished. And Solomon brought in the holy things of David his father, and the silver, and the gold, and all the furnishings, and he put [them] in the treasuries of the house of God.
2 Chronicles 5:2	At that time Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, chiefs of the fathers of the sons of Israel, in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of YHWH from the City of David; it [is] Zion.
2 Chronicles 5:3	And assembled unto the king all the men of Israel at the feast; it [was] the seventh month.
2 Chronicles 5:4	And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.
2 Chronicles 5:5	And they brought up the ark, and the Tent of Meeting, and all the holy vessels that [were] in the tabernacle. The priests, the Levites, brought them up.
2 Chronicles 5:6	And King Solomon and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted and not numbered for multitude.
2 Chronicles 5:7	And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of YHWH to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the Holy of Holies, to beneath the wings of the cherubim.
2 Chronicles 5:8	And the cherubim were spreading out wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered over the ark and its poles from above.
2 Chronicles 5:9	And the poles extended, and the ends of the poles of the ark were seen from in front of the inner sanctuary; they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.
2 Chronicles 5:10	Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets that Moses gave at Horeb, when YHWH cut with the sons of Israel in their going out from Egypt.
2 Chronicles 5:11	And it came to pass, in the going out of the priests from the sanctuary—for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves without keeping to their divisions,
2 Chronicles 5:12	and the Levites (the singers, all those of Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, with their sons and their brothers, clothed in white linen, having cymbals and stringed instruments and harps) stood on the east of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with the trumpets—
2 Chronicles 5:13	and it came to pass [that] the trumpeters and the singers [were] as one to sound one voice in praising and thanking YHWH. And they lifted up a voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised YHWH: “For good, even to forever, [is] His loving devotion.” And the house was filled with a cloud—the house of YHWH—
2 Chronicles 5:14	and the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud, for the glory of YHWH had filled the house of God.
2 Chronicles 6:1	Then Solomon said: “YHWH said He would dwell in the dark cloud.
2 Chronicles 6:2	And I have surely built a house exalted unto You, and a place for Your dwelling forever.”
2 Chronicles 6:3	And the king turned around his face, and he blessed all the assembly of Israel, and all the assembly of Israel was standing.
2 Chronicles 6:4	And he said: “Blessed [be] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth to David my father, and with His hands He has fulfilled [it], saying,
2 Chronicles 6:5	‘Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from any tribe of Israel [in which] to build a house for My name being there, and I have not chosen any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:6	And I have chosen Jerusalem for my name to be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’
2 Chronicles 6:7	And it was with the heart of David my father to build a temple for the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:8	And YHWH said to David my father, ‘Because that it was with your heart to build a house for My name, you did well in that it was with your heart.
2 Chronicles 6:9	Nevertheless, you shall not build the temple; but your son who will come from your loins, he shall build the house for My Name.’
2 Chronicles 6:10	And YHWH has fulfilled His word that He spoke, and I have risen instead of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I have built the house for the name of YHWH, God of Israel.
2 Chronicles 6:11	And I have put there the ark, in which there [is] the covenant of YHWH, which He cut with the sons of Israel.”
2 Chronicles 6:12	And he stood before the face of the altar of YHWH in front of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
2 Chronicles 6:13	For Solomon had made a bronze platform and had set it in the midst of the court: Five cubits long, and five cubits wide, and three cubits high. And he stood on it, and he knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and he spread out his hands toward the heavens,
2 Chronicles 6:14	and he said: “O YHWH, God of Israel, [there is] not a god like You in the heavens or on the earth, who keeps the covenant of loving devotion with Your servants walking before You with all their heart,
2 Chronicles 6:15	who has kept for Your servant David my father what You spoke to him. You have spoken with Your mouth and with Your hand you have fulfilled [it], as this day.
2 Chronicles 6:16	And now, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant David my father what You spoke to him, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man before Me, to sit on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My law, as you have walked before My face.’
2 Chronicles 6:17	And, O YHWH, God of Israel, confirm Your word that You have spoken to Your servant David.
2 Chronicles 6:18	But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house that I have built!
2 Chronicles 6:19	And You have turned toward the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You.
2 Chronicles 6:20	For may Your eyes be open toward this house day and night, toward the place where You have said to put Your name, that You may listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.
2 Chronicles 6:21	And may You listen to the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place, and may You hear from Your dwelling place, the heavens, and may You hear and forgive.
2 Chronicles 6:22	If anyone sins against his neighbor, and it is lifted up upon him to take an oath to swear, and he comes in to swear before Your altar in this house,
2 Chronicles 6:23	then may You hear from the heavens and act and judge Your servants, to give back to the wicked by bringing his way on his own head, and to justify the righteous by giving to him according to his righteousness.
2 Chronicles 6:24	And if Your people Israel are struck before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and they return and confess Your name, and they pray and make supplication before You in this house,
2 Chronicles 6:25	then may You hear from the heavens and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land that You gave to them and to their fathers.
2 Chronicles 6:26	When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and from their sin they turn back because You afflict them,
2 Chronicles 6:27	then may You hear [in] the heavens and forgive the sin of Your servants and of Your people Israel, that You may direct them toward the good way that they should walk in it, and give rain on Your land that You have given to Your people as an inheritance.
2 Chronicles 6:28	Famine, when it is in the land, or there is pestilence, blight or mildew, locust or grasshoppers, when it is that their enemies besiege them in their land—its gates—any plague and any sickness,
2 Chronicles 6:29	any prayer, any supplication that is by any man, or by all Your people Israel, when they know, each one, his own burden and his own grief, and he spreads out his hands to this house,
2 Chronicles 6:30	then may You hear from the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, and forgive, and give to each man according to all his ways (since You know his heart, for You alone know the heart of the sons of men),
2 Chronicles 6:31	that they may fear You to walk in Your ways all the days that they live on the face of the ground that You have given to our fathers.
2 Chronicles 6:32	And also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel, and he comes from a distant country for the sake of Your great name, and Your mighty hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they come and pray in this house,
2 Chronicles 6:33	then may You hear from the heavens, the fixed place of Your dwelling, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, that they may know that Your name is called upon this house that I have built.
2 Chronicles 6:34	When Your people go out to battle against their enemies in the way that You send them, and they pray to You toward this city that You have chosen and the house that I have built for Your name,
2 Chronicles 6:35	then may You hear from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and may You maintain their cause.
2 Chronicles 6:36	When they sin against You—for [there is] no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and their captors take them captive to a land distant or near,
2 Chronicles 6:37	and they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive there, and they turn and make supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, and have committed wickedness,’
2 Chronicles 6:38	and they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity where they have been carried captive, and they pray toward their land that You gave to their fathers, and the city that You have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for Your name,

2 Chronicles 13:9	Have you⁺ not cast out the priests of YHWH, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of the lands? Everyone comes to consecrate himself with a bull, a son of the herd, and seven rams, and he will be a priest of [what are] not gods.

2 Chronicles 13:11	And they burn to YHWH burnt offerings morning by morning and evening by evening, and incense of spices, and the arrangement of bread on the pure [gold] table, and the lampstand of gold, and its lamps, to burn evening by evening.

2 Chronicles 29:17	And they began to consecrate on the first of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of YHWH. And they sanctified the house of YHWH in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they finished.

2 Chronicles 29:21	And they brought seven bulls, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven male goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the sons of Aaron, the priests, to offer [them] on the altar of YHWH.
2 Chronicles 29:22	And they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled [it] on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

2 Chronicles 29:26	And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
2 Chronicles 29:27	And Hezekiah said to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And at the time the burnt offering began, the song of YHWH began, and the trumpets, by the hands of the instruments of David king of Israel.

2 Chronicles 30:5	And they established a word, to cause to pass over a proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba to Dan, that they should come in to keep the Passover to YHWH, God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For they had not kept [it] as written for a long time.

2 Chronicles 30:7	And do not be like your⁺ fathers and your⁺ brothers who trespassed against YHWH, God of their fathers, so that He gave them up to desolation, as you⁺ can see.
2 Chronicles 30:8	Now do not harden your⁺ necks as your⁺ fathers; give a hand to YHWH and enter His sanctuary that He has sanctified forever, and serve YHWH your⁺ God, that the burning of His anger may turn away from you⁺.
2 Chronicles 30:9	For if you⁺ return to YHWH, your⁺ brothers and your⁺ children will receive mercy before the faces of their captors and will return to this land. For gracious and merciful [is] YHWH your⁺ God, and He will not turn aside the face from you⁺ if you⁺ return to Him.”

2 Chronicles 30:16	And they stood on their station according to their ordinance, according to the Law of Moses the man of God. The priests splattered the blood from the hand of the Levites.
2 Chronicles 30:17	For many [were] in the assembly who had not sanctified themselves, and the Levites [were] over the slaughtering of the Passovers for everyone [who was] not clean, to sanctify [them] to YHWH.
2 Chronicles 30:18	For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, “May YHWH, who [is] good, provide atonement on the behalf
2 Chronicles 30:19	everyone [who] prepares his heart to seek God—YHWH, God of his fathers—and not according to the purifying of the sanctuary.”
2 Chronicles 30:20	And YHWH listened to Hezekiah and healed the people.
2 Chronicles 30:21	And the sons of Israel who were found in Jerusalem kept the Feast of the Unleavened seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests were praising YHWH day by day, accompanied by loud instruments to YHWH.

2 Chronicles 31:2	And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, and to give thanks, and to give praise in the gates of the camps of YHWH.

2 Chronicles 31:8	And the leaders came, and Hezekiah, and they saw the heaps, and they blessed YHWH and His people Israel.

2 Chronicles 32:10	“Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria: Upon what do you⁺ trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
2 Chronicles 32:11	Is not Hezekiah inciting you⁺ to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘YHWH our God will snatch us up from the hand of the king of Assyria’?
2 Chronicles 32:12	is [it] not He [for whom] Hezekiah has taken away His high places and His altars, and has spoken to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, ‘You⁺ must worship before one altar, and on it burn incense’?
2 Chronicles 32:13	do not you⁺ know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of the nations of those lands ever been able to deliver their lands from my hand?
2 Chronicles 32:14	Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction—who has been able to deliver his people from my hand, that your⁺ God should be able to snatch you⁺ up from my hand?
2 Chronicles 32:15	And now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you⁺ or persuade you⁺ like this, and do not believe him, for not any god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. Also surely your⁺ God will not snatch you⁺ up from my hand!”
2 Chronicles 32:16	And his servants spoke against YHWH God and against Hezekiah His servant.
2 Chronicles 32:17	And he wrote letters to taunt YHWH, 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 will not deliver His people from my hand.”

Ezra 4:9	Then Rehum the owner of the command, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions, Dinaites, and Apharsathchites, Tarpelites, Apharsites, Archevites, Babylonians, Susanchites who [are] Elamite,
Ezra 4:10	and the rest of the nations whom the great and honorable Osnappar removed and settled them in the city of Samaria, and the remainder beyond the River, and now.
Ezra 4:11	(This [is] a copy of the letter that they sent to him:) To Artaxerxes the king, from your servants, the men beyond the River, and now,
Ezra 4:12	be it known to the king that the Jews who came up from you to us have come to Jerusalem; the rebellious and wicked city they are building, and [its] walls they are finishing, and the foundations they are repairing.
Ezra 4:13	Now be it known to the king that if this city is built and the walls are completed, tax, tribute, and custom they will not pay, and the treasury of the king will be diminished.
Ezra 4:14	Now according to all that the salt of the palace [is] our salt, and the nakedness of the king it was not proper for us to see, on account of this we have sent and informed the king,
Ezra 4:15	that he may search in the book of the records of your fathers. And you will find in the book of the records, and you will know that this city [is] a rebellious city, causing loss [to] kings and provinces, and that they have incited sedition within the city from the days of old. On account of this was this city destroyed.
Ezra 4:16	We are making known to the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, upon this, dominion beyond the River is not unto you.
Ezra 4:17	The king sent an answer: To Rehum the owner of the command, and [to] Shimshai the scribe, and [to] the rest of their companions who dwell in Samaria and the remainder beyond the River, Peace. And now,
Ezra 4:18	the letter that you⁺ sent to us has been read clearly before me.
Ezra 4:19	And I made a decree, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in former times has revolted against kings, and rebellion and sedition have been made in it.
Ezra 4:20	And there have been mighty kings over Jerusalem, who have ruled over all beyond the River; and tax, tribute, and custom were paid to them.
Ezra 4:21	Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city may not be built until a decree is made by me.
Ezra 4:22	And take heed of negligence to do upon this. Why should the damage become great to the harm of the kings?
Ezra 4:23	Then from the time that the copy of the letter of King Artaxerxes [was] read before Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem against the Jews, and made them cease by force and strength.
Ezra 4:24	Then ceased the work of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem. And it was discontinued until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra 5:1	And prophesied the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo, to the Jews who [were] in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.
Ezra 5:2	Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak rose up, and they began to build the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem—and with them the prophets of God supporting them.
Ezra 5:3	At the same time came to them Tattenai, governor beyond the River, and Shethar-boznai, and their companions, and thus spoke to them: “Who has made to you⁺ a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
Ezra 5:4	Then accordingly they said to them, “What are the names of the men who are constructing this building?”
Ezra 5:5	And the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they did not make them cease until a report came to Darius, and a letter was returned concerning this.
Ezra 5:6	[This is] a copy of the letter that Tattenai, governor beyond the River, and Shethar-boznai, and his companions, the Apharsachites who [were] beyond the River, sent to Darius the king.
Ezra 5:7	They sent a letter to him, and this was written in it: To Darius the king, all peace.
Ezra 5:8	Be it Known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God, and it is being built [with] rolled stones, and timber is being laid in the walls, and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.
Ezra 5:9	Then we asked these elders, [and] thus we spoke to them: “Who made for you⁺ a decree to build this house and to finish this wall?”
Ezra 5:10	And also their names we asked of them, to inform you, that we might write the names of the men who [were] at their head.
Ezra 5:11	And thus they returned us an answer, saying, “We are servants of the God of the heavens and earth, and we are rebuilding the house that was built many years before this, and a great king of Israel built it and completed it.
Ezra 5:12	But after that our fathers provoked to wrath the God of the heavens, 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.
Ezra 5:13	But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, Cyrus the king made a decree to build this house of God.
Ezra 5:14	And also the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple that [was] in Jerusalem and carried them into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king took them from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor.
Ezra 5:15	And he said to him, ‘Lift up these articles, go, put them down in the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its place.’
Ezra 5:16	Then this Sheshbazzar came [and] laid the foundations of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and from then [on] and even until now it is being built, and it is not finished.”
Ezra 5:17	And now if [it is] good to the king, let a search be made in the house of the treasure of the king that [is] there in Babylon, whether it is that by King Cyrus a decree was issued to build this house of God in Jerusalem, and let us send the will of the king concerning this.
Ezra 6:1	Then Darius the king made a decree, and they searched in the house of the books of the treasuries placed there in Babylon.
Ezra 6:2	And was found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, one scroll, and thus [was] written in it: Memorandum:
Ezra 6:3	In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made a decree about the house of God in Jerusalem: Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let its foundations be firmly laid—its height sixty cubits, [and] its width sixty cubits,
Ezra 6:4	[with] three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new timber, and let the expenses be paid from the house of the king.
Ezra 6:5	And also let the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and taken back to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, each to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
Ezra 6:6	Now: Tattenai the governor beyond the river, Shethar-bozenai, and your companions, the Apharsachites who [are] beyond the River: Be far away from there.
Ezra 6:7	Leave 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 site.
Ezra 6:8	And a decree is made by me for what it is that you⁺ shall do for the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: Of the riches of the king that [are] of the tribute beyond the river, let the expense be paid diligently and given to these men, so that they are not hindered.
Ezra 6:9	And what they need, whether sons of bulls, or rams, or lambs for burnt offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, or oil, according to the word of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem, let it be given to them day by day, that is without neglect,
Ezra 6:10	that they may offer sacrifice of sweet aroma to the God of the heavens and pray for the life of the king and his sons.
Ezra 6:11	And from me is set a decree that any man who changes this command, let a timber be pulled from his house and raised up, and let him be hanged on it, and let his house be made a dunghill because of this.
Ezra 6:12	And may the God who caused His name to dwell there destroy any king or people who put their hand to alter it, or to destroy this house of God that is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have set a decree; let it diligently be done.
Ezra 6:13	Then Tattenai the governor beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, thus did diligently.
Ezra 6:14	And the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah son of Iddo. And they built and finished [it] by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ezra 6:15	And this temple was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezra 6:16	And the sons of Israel made—and the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity—the dedication of this house of God with joy.
Ezra 6:17	And they offered sacrifices for the dedication of this house of God, a hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering for all Israel, by the number of the tribes of Israel.
Ezra 6:18	And they assigned the priests in their divisions, and Levites in their groups, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the Book of Moses.
Ezra 6:19	And the sons of the captivity kept the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month.
Ezra 6:20	For the priests and the Levites had purified themselves as one; all of them were pure. And they slaughtered the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Ezra 6:21	And the sons of Israel who had returned from the captivity, with all who had separated themselves from the filth of the peoples of the land to them, to seek YHWH, God of Israel, ate together,
Ezra 6:22	and they kept the Feast of the Unleavened seven days with joy, for YHWH had made them joyful and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Ezra 7:1	And after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra son of Seraiah, son of Azariah, son of Hilkiah,
Ezra 7:2	son of Shallum, son of Zadok, son of Ahitub,
Ezra 7:3	son of Amariah, son of Azariah, son of Meraioth,
Ezra 7:4	son of Zerahiah, son of Uzzi, son of Bukki,
Ezra 7:5	son of Abishua, son of Phinehas, son of Eleazar, son of Aaron the chief priest—
Ezra 7:6	Ezra himself came up from Babylon, and he [was] a scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, which YHWH, God of Israel, had given. And the king granted him, according to the hand of YHWH his God upon him, all his request,
Ezra 7:7	and came up [some] of the sons of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the gatekeepers, and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezra 7:8	And Ezra came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, that [was] in the seventh year of the king.
Ezra 7:9	For on the first of the first month he began the ascent from Babylon, and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezra 7:10	For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of YHWH, and to do [it], and to teach in Israel statutes and ordinances.
Ezra 7:11	And this [is] a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave to Ezra the priest, the scribe, a scribe of the words of the commandments of YHWH and of His statutes to Israel:
Ezra 7:12	Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, a scribe of the Law of the God of the heavens: Peace and now.
Ezra 7:13	I issue a decree that everyone who is willing in my kingdom from the people of Israel—and the priests and Levites, to go up to Jerusalem with you—go.
Ezra 7:14	All according to that from before the king and his seven counselors, you are sent to inquire concerning Judah and concerning Jerusalem with regard to the Law of your God which [is] in your hand,
Ezra 7:15	and to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling [is] in Jerusalem,
Ezra 7:16	and all the silver and gold that you may find in all the province of Babylon, along with the freewill offering of the people and the priests offering willingly for the house of their God that [is] in Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:17	All that diligently buy therefore with this silver: Bulls, rams, lambs, and their grain offerings, and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your⁺ God that [is] in Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:18	And that which to you and your brothers seems good to do with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your⁺ God, do it.
Ezra 7:19	And the vessels that are given to you for the service of the house of your God, deliver in full before the God of Jerusalem.
Ezra 7:20	And the rest of what is needed for the house of your God, which you may have occasion to give, you are to give from the house of the treasury of the king.
Ezra 7:21	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, the scribe of the Law of the God of the heavens, may ask of you⁺, let it be done diligently.
Ezra 7:22	Up to a hundred talents of silver, and a hundred cors of wheat, and a hundred baths of wine, and a hundred baths of oil, and salt that [is] is not written,
Ezra 7:23	all that [is] by the decree of the God of the heavens, let it be done diligently for the house of the God of the heavens. For why should there be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons?
Ezra 7:24	And to you⁺ we inform that on any of the priests and Levites, singers, gatekeepers, Nethinim, or servants of the house of God, there is no authority to impose this tax, tribute, or custom.
Ezra 7:25	And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that [is] in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who [are] beyond the River, all knowing the law of your God. And he who has not known, you⁺ shall cause to know.
Ezra 7:26	And whoever will not do the law of your God and the law of the king diligently, let judgment be done on him, whether death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or bonds.
Ezra 7:27	Blessed [be] YHWH, God of our fathers, who has put [such] as this in the heart of the king, to beautify the house of YHWH that [is] in Jerusalem,
Ezra 7:28	and has extended to me mercy before the face of the king, and his counselors, and before all the mighty princes of the king. And I was encouraged as the hand of YHWH my God [was] upon me, and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.
Ezra 8:1	And these [are] the heads of their fathers and the genealogy of those going up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king, from Babylon:
Ezra 8:2	Of the sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Hattush
Ezra 8:3	of the sons of Shechaniah; of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah, and with him [were] registered a hundred and fifty males;
Ezra 8:4	of the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai son of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males;
Ezra 8:5	of the sons [of Zattu], Shechaniah son of Jahaziel, and with him three hundred males;
Ezra 8:6	and of the sons of Adin, Ebed son of Jonathan, and with him fifty males;
Ezra 8:7	and of the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah son of Athaliah, and with him seventy males;
Ezra 8:8	and of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah son of Michael, and with him eighty males;
Ezra 8:9	of the sons of Joab, Obadiah son of Jehiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males;
Ezra 8:10	and of the sons [of Bani], Shelomith son of Josiphiah, and with him a hundred and sixty males;
Ezra 8:11	and of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah son of Bebai, and with him twenty-eight males;
Ezra 8:12	and of the sons of Azgad, Johanan son of Hakkatan, and with him a hundred and ten males;
Ezra 8:13	and of the later sons of Adonikam—and these [are] their names—Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty males;
Ezra 8:14	and of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and with them seventy males;
Ezra 8:15	and I gathered them to the river that flows to Ahava, and we camped there three days. And I considered about the people and the priests, and from the sons of Levi I found none there.
Ezra 8:16	And I sent for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam—leaders—and for Joiarib and Elnathan—men of understanding.
Ezra 8:17	And I sent them to Iddo the leader in the place at Casiphia, and I told them what they should say to Iddo [and] his brothers the Nethinim at Casiphia the place, that they should bring to us those ministering for the house of our God.
Ezra 8:18	And they brought to us by the good hand of our God upon us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, Sherebiah, and his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
Ezra 8:19	and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers, and their sons, twenty;
Ezra 8:20	and also of the Nethinim, whom David and the leaders had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim. All of them were designated by name.
Ezra 8:21	And I proclaimed there a fast at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before the face of our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and for our little ones and for all our possessions.
Ezra 8:22	For I was ashamed to ask of the king a force and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God [is] upon all those who seek Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [are] against all forsaking Him.”
Ezra 8:23	And we fasted and sought from our God for this, and He was entreated of us.
Ezra 8:24	And I separated twelve of the leaders of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
Ezra 8:25	And I weighed out to them the silver and the gold and the articles, the contribution of the house of our God, which the king, and his counselors, and his princes, and all Israel—those present—had offered.
Ezra 8:26	And I weighed into their hands, six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred talents of articles of silver a hundred talents of gold,
Ezra 8:27	and twenty gold bowls of a thousand drachmas, and two vessels of fine polished bronze as precious as gold.
Ezra 8:28	And I said to them, “You⁺ [are] holy to YHWH, and the articles [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering to YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers.
Ezra 8:29	Watch and keep [them] until you⁺ weigh [them] before the face of the leaders of the priests, and the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of YHWH.”
Ezra 8:30	And the priests and the Levites received by weight the silver and the gold and the articles, to bring [them] to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Ezra 8:31	And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth of the first month to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God was upon us, and He snatched us up from the hand of the enemy and the lier in wait along the road.
Ezra 8:32	And we came to Jerusalem and stayed there three days.
Ezra 8:33	And on the fourth day it was weighed out—the silver and the gold and the articles in the house of our God—by 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,
Ezra 8:34	by number, by weight of everything, and all the weight was recorded at that time.
Ezra 8:35	Those coming in of the captives—the sons of the exile—offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: Twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats [as] a sin offering—all a burnt offering to YHWH.
Ezra 8:36	And they delivered the laws of the king to the satraps of the king and the governors beyond the River, and they lifted up the people and the house of God.
Ezra 9:1	And at the completion of these things the leaders came to me, saying, “The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites have not separated themselves 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.
Ezra 9:2	For they have taken from their daughters for themselves and for their sons, and the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of the lands. And indeed the hand of the leaders and the rulers has been foremost in this trespass.”
Ezra 9:3	And at my hearing this word, I tore my garment and my robe, and I pulled out some of the hair of my head and beard, and I sat down appalled.
Ezra 9:4	And they assembled to me—everyone trembling at the words of the God of Israel, because of the trespass of the exiles. And I sat appalled until the sacrifice of the evening.
Ezra 9:5	And at the sacrifice of the evening I arose from my humiliation, and having torn my garment and my robe, I fell on my knees and spread out my hands to YHWH my God,
Ezra 9:6	and I said, “O my God, I am too ashamed and humiliated to lift up, my God, my face to You, for our iniquities have risen higher than the head, and our guilt has grown up as far as to the heavens.
Ezra 9:7	Since the days of our fathers we have great guilt to 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 the sword, with captivity, and with spoil, and with shame of face, as this day.
Ezra 9:8	And for a little while grace has come from YHWH our God, to leave a remnant to us to escape, and to give us a stake in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a little revival in our bondage.
Ezra 9:9	For we [were] slaves, and in our bondage our God did not forsake us, and He extended to us mercy in the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give to us revival, to lift up the house of our God and to rebuild its ruins, and to give to us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezra 9:10	And what shall we say, our God, after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,
Ezra 9:11	that You commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, ‘The land that you⁺ are entering to possess, it is a land of impurity, by the impurity of the peoples of the lands with their abominations that have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
Ezra 9:12	And now, do not give as wives your⁺ daughters for their sons, and lift not their daughters to your⁺ sons, and never seek their peace or prosperity even to forever, that you⁺ may be strong and eat the good of the land, and give possession to your⁺ children even to forever.’
Ezra 9:13	And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt (since You, our God, you have restrained it to lower than our iniquities and have given us a deliverance like this),
Ezra 9:14	should we turn back to break Your commandments and join in marriage with the peoples of these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had consumed [us] without remnant or survivor?
Ezra 9:15	O YHWH, God of Israel, You [are] righteous, for we are left as a remnant, as this day. Here we [are] before You in our guilt, though no one can stand before You because of this.”
Ezra 10:1	And at the praying of Ezra, and at his making confession, weeping and bowing down before the face of the house of God, there gathered to him from Israel a very large assembly of men and women and children, for the people wept very bitterly.
Ezra 10:2	And Shechaniah son of Jehiel, of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have caused foreign wives to dwell from the peoples of the land. Yet there is hope in Israel concerning this.
Ezra 10:3	And now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the women and those born to them, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God. And according to the law let it be done.
Ezra 10:4	Arise, for on you [is] the matter, and we [are] with you. Be strong and do [it].”
Ezra 10:5	And Ezra arose, and he made swear an oath the leaders of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, that they would do this according to the word. And they swore an oath.
Ezra 10:6	And Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and he went into the chamber of Jehohanan son of Eliashib. And in his going there, he ate no bread, and he drank no water, for he mourned on account of the unfaithfulness of the exiles.
Ezra 10:7	And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the exile, that they must gather at Jerusalem,
Ezra 10:8	and all who would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and elders, all his property would be confiscated and he would be separated from the assembly of the exiles.
Ezra 10:9	And all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It [was] the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of [this] matter, and because of the rains.
Ezra 10:10	And Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, “You⁺ You⁺ have acted unfaithfully and have caused to dwell foreign wives to add to the guilt of Israel.
Ezra 10:11	And now, make confession to YHWH, God of your⁺ fathers, and do His will, and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land and from the foreign women.”
Ezra 10:12	And all the assembly answered and said in a loud voice, “Truly according to your word it is upon us to do.
Ezra 10:13	But the people [are] many, and [it is] the time of rains, and we have no strength to stand outside, and the work [is] not of one day or two, for we have multiplied to transgress in this matter.
Ezra 10:14	Please let the leaders of all the assembly stand, and all who [are] in our cities, who have settled foreign wives, [and] come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of each of their cities, until the turning back of the fury of the wrath of our God from us even in this matter.”
Ezra 10:15	(Only Jonathan son of Asahel and Jahaziah son of Tikvah stood against this. And Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.)
Ezra 10:16	And the sons of the exile did so, and Ezra the priest, [and] men, the heads of the fathers, for the house of their fathers, were set apart, each of them by name, and they sat down on the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Ezra 10:17	And they finished with all the men who had caused to dwell foreign wives by the first day of the first month.
Ezra 10:18	And they were found among the sons of the priests who had taken foreign wives: Of the sons of Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brothers: Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Ezra 10:19	And they gave their hand to send out their wives, and being guilty, a ram of the flock for their guilt.
Ezra 10:20	And of the sons of Immer: Hanani and Zebadiah.
Ezra 10:21	And of the sons of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
Ezra 10:22	And of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Eleasah.
Ezra 10:23	And of the Levites: Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (he [is] Kelita) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
Ezra 10:24	And of the singers: Eliashib. And of the gatekeepers: Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
Ezra 10:25	And of Israel: Of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchijah, and Mijamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
Ezra 10:26	And of the sons of Elam: Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Elijah.
Ezra 10:27	And of the sons of Zattu: Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
Ezra 10:28	And of the sons of Bebai: Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, Athlai.
Ezra 10:29	And of the sons of Bani: Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Jeremoth.
Ezra 10:30	And of the sons of Pahath-moab: Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
Ezra 10:31	And of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Isshiah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,
Ezra 10:32	Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah.
Ezra 10:33	Of the sons of Hashum: Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei.
Ezra 10:34	Of the sons of Bani: Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
Ezra 10:35	Benaiah, Bedeiah, Cheluh,
Ezra 10:36	Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
Ezra 10:37	Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasai,
Ezra 10:38	From the descendants of Binnui: Shimei,
Ezra 10:39	and Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
Ezra 10:40	Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
Ezra 10:41	Azarel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,
Ezra 10:42	Shallum, Amariah, Joseph.
Ezra 10:43	Of the sons of Nebo: Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jaddai, and Joel, Benaiah.
Ezra 10:44	All these had taken foreign wives, and were from them women, and they bore sons.
Nehemiah 1:1	The words of Nehemiah son of Hachaliah: And it came to pass, in the month of Chislev, [in] the twentieth year, that I was in Susa the citadel.
Nehemiah 1:2	And came in Hanani, one of my brothers—he and men from Judah—and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity of my brothers, and concerning Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 1:3	And they said to me, “The remnant who are left from the captivity there in the province [are] in great distress, and in reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem [is] broken down, and its gates have been burned with the fire.”
Nehemiah 1:4	And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept and mourned [for] days, and I was fasting and praying before the face of the God of the heavens,
Nehemiah 1:5	and I said, “Please, O YHWH, God of the heavens, the great and awesome God, keeping the covenant and loving devotion for those loving Him and observing His commandments,
Nehemiah 1:6	please let Your ear be attentive, and Your eyes be open, that You may listen to the prayer of Your servant, which I pray before You now, day and night, for the sons of Israel Your servants. And confessing on account of the sins of the sons of Israel, which we have sinned against You, both I and the house of my father have sinned.
Nehemiah 1:7	We have acted very corruptly against You, and we have not kept the commandments, and the statutes, and the ordinances that You commanded Moses Your servant.
Nehemiah 1:8	Remember, please, the word that You commanded Moses Your servant, saying, ‘You⁺ are unfaithful—I will scatter you⁺ among the nations;
Nehemiah 1:9	and [if] you⁺ return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though your⁺ outcast were in the end of the heavens, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen as a dwelling for My name there.’
Nehemiah 1:10	And they [are] Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power and by Your mighty hand.
Nehemiah 1:11	Please, O Lord, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and to the prayer of Your servants who desire to fear Your name, and let prosper, please, Your servant this day, and grant him mercy in the eyes of this man.” (For I was cupbearer to the king.)
Nehemiah 2:1	And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, [that] wine was before his face, and I lifted up the wine and gave it to the king. And never had I been sad before his face.
Nehemiah 2:2	And the king said to me, “Why [is] your face sad, and you [are] not sick? This [is] nothing except but sorrow of heart.” And I feared very much,
Nehemiah 2:3	and I said to the king, “May the king live forever! Why should not my face be sad when the city, the place of the tombs of my fathers, [is] waste, and its gates have been consumed with the fire?”
Nehemiah 2:4	And the king said to me, “Upon what [is] this you are seeking?” And I prayed to the God of the heavens,
Nehemiah 2:5	and I said to the king, “If to the king [it is] good, and if your servant has found favor in your eyes, [I ask] that you send me to Judah, to the city of the tombs of my fathers, and I will rebuild it.”
Nehemiah 2:6	And the king said to me, and the queen was sitting beside him, “Even to when will be your journey? And when will you return?” And it was good before the face of the king, and he sent me away, and I set for him a time.
Nehemiah 2:7	And I said to the king, “If [it is] good to the king, let letters be given to me for the governors beyond the River, that they let me pass over until that I come to Judah,
Nehemiah 2:8	and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the forest that [is] unto the king, that he give to me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel that [is] for the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I will enter into.” And the king granted to me the good according to hand of my God upon me.

Nehemiah 2:13	And I went out through the Gate of the Valley by night, and to the front of the Well of the Serpent, and to the Gate of the Dunghill. And I was inspecting the walls of Jerusalem that had been broken down, and its gates that had been consumed with the fire.
Nehemiah 2:14	And I went on to the Gate of the Fountain and to the Pool of the King, and [there was] no place for the beast under me to pass over.

Nehemiah 2:16	And the prefects did not know where I had gone or what I had done. 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, even yet I had not told [it].
Nehemiah 2:17	And I said to them, “You⁺ see the distress that we [are] in—that Jerusalem [is] waste and its gates are burned with the fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may not be anymore a reproach.”
Nehemiah 2:18	And I told them of the hand of my God that was good upon me, and also of the words of the king that he had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” And they strengthened their hands for good.
Nehemiah 2:19	And Sanballat the Horonite heard [of it], and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab, and they laughed at us and despised us and said, “What [is] this thing that you⁺ are doing? Are you⁺ rebelling against the king?”
Nehemiah 2:20	And I returned to them word and said to them, “The God of the heavens, He will prosper us, and we His servants will arise and build. And you⁺ have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem.”

Nehemiah 4:2	And he spoke before the face of his brothers and the force of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of the rubble—and they [are] burned?”
Nehemiah 4:3	And Tobiah the Ammonite [was] beside him, and he said, “Even whatever they are building, if a fox goes up [on it], it will break down the wall of their stones.”
Nehemiah 4:4	Hear, our God, for we are despised! And turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as spoil to a land of captivity.
Nehemiah 4:5	And do not cover over their iniquity; and their sin, do not let it be blotted out from before You, for they have provoked anger in front of the builders.
Nehemiah 4:6	And we built the wall, and all the wall was joined together up to half of it, for the people had a mind to work.
Nehemiah 4:7	And it came to pass, when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair was progressing to the walls of Jerusalem and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very hot.
Nehemiah 4:8	And all of them conspired together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury.
Nehemiah 4:9	And we made our prayer to our God, and we set a watch against them, day and night, against their faces.
Nehemiah 4:10	And Judah said, “The power of the laborers is failing, and the rubble [is] abundant, and we are not able to build on the wall.”
Nehemiah 4:11	And our adversaries said, “They will not know and they will not see until that we come into their midst and kill them and put an end to the work.”
Nehemiah 4:12	And it came to pass, when the Jews came who dwelt near them, that they said to us ten times, “From all the places where you⁺ return, [they will be] upon us.”
Nehemiah 4:13	And I appointed at the lowest of the places at the back of the wall, at the openings, I even appointed the people by their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Nehemiah 4:14	And I looked, and I arose and said to the nobles and to the leaders and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and fearsome, and fight for your⁺ brothers, your⁺ sons, and your⁺ daughters, your⁺ wives, and your⁺ houses.”
Nehemiah 4:15	And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known to us and [that] God had frustrated their plot, that all of us returned to the wall, each man to his work.
Nehemiah 4:16	And it came to pass from that day, [that] half of my servants worked at the construction, and half held the spears, and the shields, and the bows, and the armor. And the leaders [were] behind all the house of Judah.
Nehemiah 4:17	Those who built on the wall and the bearers of the burden loaded themselves, so that with one hand they worked at the construction, and one was grasping a weapon.
Nehemiah 4:18	And of the builders, each man had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded with the shofar [was] beside me.
Nehemiah 4:19	And I said to the nobles and to the prefects and to the rest of the people, “The work [is] great and extensive, and we are separated on the wall far from one another.
Nehemiah 4:20	In the place that you⁺ hear the voice of the shofar, there gather to us. Our God will fight for us.”
Nehemiah 4:21	And we labored in the work, and half kept hold of the spears from daybreak until the coming forth of the stars.
Nehemiah 4:22	Also at that time I said to the people, “Each man and his servant should lodge in the midst of Jerusalem, that they may be to us by the night a guard and by the day a working party.”
Nehemiah 4:23	And none—I and my brothers and my servants and the men of the guard who [were] behind me—none of us took off our garments; each man [had] his weapon at the water.
Nehemiah 5:1	And there was a great outcry of the people and their wives against their brothers the Jews.
Nehemiah 5:2	And there were those who said, “Our sons and our daughters, we [are] many; therefore let us get grain, that we may eat and live.”
Nehemiah 5:3	And there were those who said, “Our lands and vineyards and houses we have mortgaged, that we might buy grain during the famine.”
Nehemiah 5:4	And there were those who said, “We have borrowed silver for the tribute of the king [on] our fields and our vineyards.
Nehemiah 5:5	And now as the flesh of our brothers [is] our flesh; as their sons [are] our sons. And behold, we are putting into bondage our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and [some] of our daughters have been brought into bondage, and in our hands [is] no power, and our fields and our vineyards [are] unto others.”
Nehemiah 5:6	And I became very hot when I heard their outcry and these words.
Nehemiah 5:7	And my heart reigned over me, and I rebuked the nobles and the prefects and said to them, “You⁺ are exacting usury on one another.” And I called a great assembly against them,
Nehemiah 5:8	and I said to them, “We have redeemed our brothers the Jews, who were sold to the nations, according to our ability. And you⁺ indeed are selling your⁺ brothers, that they may be sold back to us!” And they were silenced, and they found not a word.
Nehemiah 5:9	And I said, “The thing that you⁺ are doing [is] not good. Is [it] not in the fear of our God [that] you⁺ should walk, because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?
Nehemiah 5:10	And also I, my brothers, and my servants, have been lending to them silver and grain. Please let us stop this usury.
Nehemiah 5:11	Restore now to them even this day their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, and the hundredth of the silver, and the grain, the new wine, and the oil that you⁺ have charged to them.”
Nehemiah 5:12	And they said, “We will restore [it], and from them will require nothing. Thus we will do as you say.” And I called the priests, and caused them to swear to do according to this word.
Nehemiah 5:13	Then I shook out my lap and said, “So may God shake out every man who does not perform this word from his house and from his property; even thus is he shaken out and emptied.” And all the assembly said, “Amen,” and they praised YHWH, and the people did according to this word.
Nehemiah 5:14	Also from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year until the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the King (twelve years), I and my brothers did not eat the bread of the governor.
Nehemiah 5:15	And the former governors who [were] before me laid burdens on the people, and they took from them bread and wine, besides silver, forty shekels. Also their servants ruled over the people, and I did not do so because of the fear of God.
Nehemiah 5:16	And also I held fast in the work of this wall, and we did not buy any land. And all my servants [were] gathered there for the work.
Nehemiah 5:17	And the Jews and prefects, a hundred and fifty men, and those coming in to us from the nations that [were] around us, [were] at my table.
Nehemiah 5:18	And that which was prepared for one day [was] one ox, [and] six choice sheep, and fowl prepared for me, and once every ten days all kinds of wine in abundance. And with this, the bread of the governor I did not demand, because the bondage was heavy on this people.
Nehemiah 5:19	Remember me, O my God, for good, for all that I have done for this people.
Nehemiah 6:1	And it came to pass, when it was heard by Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies, that I had rebuilt the wall, and there were left in it no breaks (though at that time the doors I had not hung in the gates),
Nehemiah 6:2	that Sanballat sent, and Geshem, to me, saying, “Come and let us meet together among the villages on the plain of Ono.” And they were thinking to do to me harm.
Nehemiah 6:3	And I sent to them messengers, saying, “I [am] doing a great work, and I am not able to come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you⁺?”
Nehemiah 6:4	And they sent to me this word four times, and I answered them according to this word.
Nehemiah 6:5	And Sanballat sent to me according to this word the fifth time, his servant with an open letter in his hand,
Nehemiah 6:6	written in it: “Among the nations it is reported, and Gashmu says, [that] you and the Jews plan to rebel; upon thus you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king, according to these words.
Nehemiah 6:7	And also you have appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, ‘[There is] a king in Judah!’ And these words will be reported to the king; and now come and let us counsel together.”
Nehemiah 6:8	And I sent to him, saying, “These things are not being done as you say, but you are inventing them in your own heart.”
Nehemiah 6:9	For all of them were frightening us, saying, “Their hands will be weakened in the work, and it will not be done.” And now, strengthen my hands.
Nehemiah 6:10	And I came to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah son of Mehetabel, and he was confined. And he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, in the midst of the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple. For they are coming in to kill you, and by night they are coming in to kill you.”
Nehemiah 6:11	And I said, “Should a man like me flee? And who [is] like me, who would go into the temple and live? I will not go in.”
Nehemiah 6:12	And I perceived, and behold, God had not sent him, for in the prophecy that he pronounced against me, both Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Nehemiah 6:13	For this purpose he [was] hired, that I should be afraid and act this way and sin, that it might be to them for an evil name, that they might reproach me.
Nehemiah 6:14	Be mindful, O My God, of Tobiah and of Sanballat according to these their works, and of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who would have made me afraid.
Nehemiah 6:15	And the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth of Elul, on the fifty-second day.
Nehemiah 6:16	And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard, and all the nations who [were] around us saw, that they fell greatly in their own eyes, for they perceived that this work was done by our God.
Nehemiah 6:17	Also in those days, the nobles of Judah multiplied their letters going to Tobiah, and those of Tobiah came to them.
Nehemiah 6:18	For many in Judah [were] bound by oath to him, because he [was] the son-in-law to Shechaniah son of Arah, and Jehohanan his son had married the daughter of Meshullam son of Berechiah.
Nehemiah 6:19	Also his good [deeds] they were reporting before me, and my words were reported to him. Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.
Nehemiah 7:1	And it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had hung the doors, and the gatekeepers had been appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,
Nehemiah 7:2	that I gave the charge to Hanani my brother and Hananiah the leader of the citadel of Jerusalem, for he [was] a faithful man and he feared God above many.
Nehemiah 7:3	And I said to them, “Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot. And while they are standing by, let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each man at his station and a man in front of his house.”
Nehemiah 7:4	And the city [was] was wide on two hands and great, and the people [were] few in its midst, and the houses had not been rebuilt.
Nehemiah 7:5	And my God put it into my heart, and I gathered the nobles and the rulers and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up at the first, and I found written in it:

Nehemiah 13:5	and he had made for him a great room, and there they were previously putting the offerings, the frankincense, and the articles, and the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the oil—the commandment for the Levites and the singers and the gatekeepers—and the contribution for the priests.
Nehemiah 13:6	And in all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had come to the king, and at the end of [some] days I asked from the king,
Nehemiah 13:7	and I came to Jerusalem and understood about the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah in preparing for him a room in the courts of the house of God.
Nehemiah 13:8	And it was [a] very evil [thing] to me, and I threw all the goods of the house of Tobiah outside from the room.
Nehemiah 13:9	And I spoke, and they cleansed the rooms, and I returned there the articles of the house of God, with the offering and the frankincense.
Nehemiah 13:10	And I knew that the portions for the Levites had not been given, and they had fled, each man to his field—the Levites and the singers doing the work.
Nehemiah 13:11	And I contended with the rulers and said, “Why was the house of God forsaken?” And I gathered them and set them on their station.
Nehemiah 13:12	And all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil to the treasuries.
Nehemiah 13:13	And I appointed treasurers over the storehouses: Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah from the Levites, and at their hand [was] Hanan son of Zaccur, son of Mattaniah—for they were considered trustworthy. And [it was] upon them to distribute to their brothers.
Nehemiah 13:14	Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and do not wipe out my deeds of loving devotion that I have done for the house of my God and for its keeping.
Nehemiah 13:15	In those days I saw in Judah those treading winepresses on the Sabbath, and bringing [in] the heaps [of grain], and lifting [loads] upon the donkeys, and also wine, [and] grapes, and figs, and every load carried; and [they were] bringing [it] [to] Jerusalem on the day of the Sabbath. And I protested on the day of their selling provision.
Nehemiah 13:16	And the Tyrians who dwelt in it were bringing fish and every of merchandise and selling on the Sabbath to the sons of Judah, even in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 13:17	And I contended with the nobles of Judah, and I said to them, “What [is] this evil thing that you⁺ are doing, and profaning the day of the Sabbath?
Nehemiah 13:18	Thus did not your⁺ fathers do, and our God brought upon us all this disaster, and upon this city? And you⁺ are adding to wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath!”
Nehemiah 13:19	And it came to pass when the gates of Jerusalem were becoming dark before the face of the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and I said that they shall not open them until after the Sabbath. And [some] from my servants I made stand at the gates, [that] there should not be brought [in] loads carried on the day of the Sabbath.
Nehemiah 13:20	And they lodged—those who traded and those who sold all kinds of goods to sell—outside of Jerusalem once or twice.
Nehemiah 13:21	And I testified against them and said to them, “Why [are] you⁺ lodging in front of the wall? If you⁺ do [this] again, a hand I will put forth on you⁺.” From that time they did not come on the Sabbath.
Nehemiah 13:22	And I said to the Levites that they should be cleansing themselves, and coming in guarding the gates, to sanctify the day of the Sabbath. Also for this, remember me, O my God, and have pity on me according to the abundance of your loving devotion.
Nehemiah 13:23	Also in those days I saw the Judeans [who] had settled [with] women—Ashdodite, Ammonite, [and] Moabite.
Nehemiah 13:24	And of their sons, half were speaking Ashdodite, and none of them knowing how to speak Judean, and according to the tongue of people by people.
Nehemiah 13:25	And I contended with them and cursed them and struck [some] men from them and pulled out their hair. And I made them swear by God, “You⁺ shall Not give your⁺ daughters to their sons or take from their daughters for your⁺ sons or for yourselves.
Nehemiah 13:26	By these [things] did not Solomon king of Israel sin? And among the many nations there was not a king like him, and he was beloved to his God, and God gave him as king over all Israel; yet even him, the foreign women caused to sin.
Nehemiah 13:27	And to you⁺ shall we listen to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God by settling [with] foreign women?”
Nehemiah 13:28	And one from the sons of Joiada son of Eliashib the great priest [was] a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite, and I caused him to flee from me.
Nehemiah 13:29	Remember them, O my God, on account of the defiling of the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.
Nehemiah 13:30	And I purified them from everything foreign, and I appointed duties for the priests and for the Levites, each man in his work,
Nehemiah 13:31	and for the wood offering at appointed times, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
Esther 1:1	And it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus—he [was] the Ahasuerus reigning from India and as far as Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces—
Esther 1:2	in those days, when King Ahasuerus sat upon the throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Susa the citadel,
Esther 1:3	in the third year of his reigning, he made a feast for all his officials and his servants; the strength of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the officials of the provinces [were] before his face
Esther 1:4	in his showing the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the splendor of the beauty of his greatness many days—eighty and a hundred days.
Esther 1:5	And in the fullness of these days, the king made for all the people, the ones found in Susa the citadel, from great even to small, a feast [for] seven days in the court of the garden of the palace of the king.
Esther 1:6	White linen and blue [hangings] were fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on rings of silver and pillars of marble, [and] couches of gold and silver were on a pavement of porphyry, and marble, and pearl, and precious stone.
Esther 1:7	And serving drinks in vessels of gold, and the vessels [were] varying vessels, and the wine of royalty [was] abundant, according to the hand of the king.
Esther 1:8	And the drinking [was] according to the law—there is no compulsion—for so the king had established upon every overseer of his house, to do according to the pleasure of man by man.
Esther 1:9	Also, Vashti the Queen made a feast [for] the women in the house of royalty that belonged to King Ahasuerus.
Esther 1:10	On the seventh day, as the heart of the king was good with the wine, he said to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs ministering before the face of King Ahasuerus,
Esther 1:11	to bring Vashti the queen before the face of the king in a crown of royalty, to show the peoples and the officials her beauty, for she [was] beautiful of appearance.
Esther 1:12	And Queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king that was by the hand of the eunuchs. And the king was very angry, and his rage burned within him.
Esther 1:13	And the king said to the wise men knowing the times—for thus was the manner of the king before the face of all those knowing law and judgment,
Esther 1:14	and those near to him—Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, [and] Memucan, seven officials of Persia and Media, those seeing the face of the king, those sitting first in the kingdom—
Esther 1:15	“According to the law, what [is] to [be] done with Queen Vashti, upon that she did not perform the command of King Ahasuerus by the hand of the eunuchs?”
Esther 1:16	And Memucan said before the faces of the king and the officials, “Not against the king alone has Vashti the Queen done perversely, but against all the officials and against all the peoples who [are] in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
Esther 1:17	For the matter of the queen will go forth upon all the women, to despise their husbands in their eyes, when they say, ‘King Ahasuerus said to bring Vashti the queen before his face, and she did not come.’
Esther 1:18	And this day the noblewomen of Persia and Media who have heard the matter of the queen will speak to all the officials of the king, and there will be enough contempt and anger.
Esther 1:19	So if upon the king [it is] good, let go out a word of royalty from before his face, and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, and it shall not pass away, that Vashti shall not come before the face of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royalty to her female neighbor, the one better than she.
Esther 1:20	And the edict of the king that he makes will be heard in all his kingdom—for it [is] great—and all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the great even to the small.”
Esther 1:21	And the word was good in the eyes of the king and the officials, and the king did according to the word of Memucan,
Esther 1:22	and he sent letters to all the provinces of the king, to province by province according to its writing, and to people by people according to its tongue, that every man should be ruling in his house, and speaking according to the tongue of his people.
Esther 2:1	After these things, at the subsiding of the rage of King Ahasuerus, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her,
Esther 2:2	and the young men of the king who ministered to him said, “Let them seek for the king young women, virgins, beautiful of appearance.
Esther 2:3	And let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom, and they shall gather every young woman, virgin, beautiful of appearance, to Susa the citadel, to the house of the women, into the hand of Hegai the eunich of the king, the keeper of the women, and to give their cosmetics.
Esther 2:4	And the young woman who is good in the eyes of the king shall be queen in place of Vashti.” And this word was good in the eyes of the king, and he did so.
Esther 2:5	There was a man, a Jew, in Susa the citadel—and his name [was] Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a man of Benjamin—
Esther 2:6	who had been removed from Jerusalem with the exiles who had been removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had removed.
Esther 2:7	And he was supporting Hadassah—she [is] Esther—daughter of his uncle, for there was not unto her father or mother, and the young woman [was] lovely of form and beautiful of appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother, Mordecai had taken her to himself for a daughter.
Esther 2:8	And it came to pass, in the hearing of the word of the king and his law, that many young women were gathered to Susa the citadel, into the hand of Hegai, and Esther was taken into the house of the king, into the hand of Hegai, the keeper of the women.
Esther 2:9	And the young woman was good in his eyes, and she lifted up kindness before his face, and he hurried [to give] her cosmetics, and he gave her portions to her, and seven young women chosen to give to her, from the house of the king, and he changed her and her young women for the good of the house of the women.
Esther 2:10	Esther had not declared her people and her kindred, for Mordecai had laid a charge on her that she should not declare [it].
Esther 2:11	And in every day by day, Mordecai was going about before the face of the court of the house of the women to know the peace of Esther, and what was being done with her.
Esther 2:12	And in the approaching of the turn of young woman by young woman to come in to King Ahasuerus, from the end of her being there, according to the law of the women, two [and] ten months—for thus were filled the days of their beautification: Six months with the oil of myrrh, and six months with the spices and with the cosmetics of women.
Esther 2:13	And at this the young woman would go to the king. All that she said was given to her, to come with her from the house of the women to the house of the king.
Esther 2:14	In the evening she would go in, and in the morning she would return to the second house of the women, into the hand of Shaashgaz the eunuch of the king, keeper of the concubines. She would not come in again to the king, except if the king delighted in her and called for her by name.
Esther 2:15	And in the approaching of the turn of Esther daughter of Abihail uncle of Mordecai, whom he had taken to himself for a daughter, to come in to the king, she did not seek a thing except for that which Hegai the eunuch of the king, keeper of the women, had said. And Esther lifted up favor in the eyes of all seeing her.
Esther 2:16	And Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus, into the house of royalty, in the tenth month—it [is] the month of Tebeth—in the seventh year of his reign.
Esther 2:17	And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she lifted favor and kindness before his face more than all the virgins. And he set a crown of royalty on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
Esther 2:18	And the king made a great feast for all his officials and servants—the feast of Esther—and he made a time of rest for the provinces, and he gave gifts according to the hand of the king.
Esther 2:19	And the virgins were gathered a second [time], and Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king.
Esther 2:20	Esther was not declaring her kindred and her people, as Mordecai had laid a charge on her, and the command of Mordecai Esther did as when she was in her being brought up by him.
Esther 2:21	And in those days, Mordecai was sitting at the gate of the king, Bigthan became angry, and Teresh—two of the eunuchs of the king, from the keepers of the threshold—and they sought to stretch out a hand against King Ahasuerus.
Esther 2:22	And the matter became known to Mordecai, and he declared [it] to Esther the queen. And Esther spoke to the king in the name of Mordecai.
Esther 2:23	And the matter was sought out and was found, and the two of them were hanged on a tree, and it was written in the Book of the Words of the Days before the face of the king.
Esther 3:1	After these things, King Ahasuerus made great Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and he lifted him up and he set his seat above all the officials who [were] with him.
Esther 3:2	And all the servants of the king who [were] at the gate of the king [were] bowing and prostrating themselves to Haman, for thus the king had commanded concerning him; and Mordecai would not bow and would not prostrate himself.
Esther 3:3	And the servants of the king who [were] at the gate of the king said to Mordecai, “Why [are] you passing over the command of the king?”
Esther 3:4	And it came to pass, in their speaking to him day by day, and he would not listen to them. And they declared [it] to Haman, to see if the words of Mordecai would stand, for he had declared to them that he [was] a Jew.
Esther 3:5	And Haman saw that Mordecai [was] not bowing and prostrating himself to him, and Haman was filled with rage.
Esther 3:6	And it was despised in his eyes to stretch out a hand against Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai. And Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who [were] in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus—the people of Mordecai.
Esther 3:7	In the first month—it [is] the month of Nisan—in the two and tenth year of King Ahasuerus, [they] cast Pur (that [is], the lot) before the face of Haman from day to day and from month to month, [until month] two [and] ten, it [is] the month of Adar.
Esther 3:8	And Haman said to king Ahasuerus, “There is one people scattered and separated between the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, and their laws are different from all people, and the laws of the king they are not doing, and for the king it is not fitting to let them remain.
Esther 3:9	If upon the king [it is] good, let it be written for them to perish, and ten thousand talents of silver I will weigh out into the hands of those doing the work, to bring [it] into the treasuries of the king.”
Esther 3:10	And the king removed his signet ring from upon his hand, and he gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
Esther 3:11	And the king said to Haman, “The silver is given to you, and the people, to do with them as [is] good in your eyes.”
Esther 3:12	And the scribes of the king were called in the first month, on the three and tenth day of it, and it was written according to all that Haman commanded to the satraps of the king, and to the governors who [were] over province and province, and to the officials of people and people, province by province according to its writing, and people by people according to its tongue. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written, and it was sealed with the signet ring of the king.
Esther 3:13	And the letters were sent by the hand of the runners to all the provinces of the king, to destroy, to kill, and to exterminate all of the Jews from young even to old, little children and women, in a single day, on the three and tenth [day] [of the] two [and] tenth month, it [is] the month of Adar, and to plunder their spoils.
Esther 3:14	A copy of the writing [was] to be given as law in every province and province, being revealed to all the peoples, to be ready for this day.
Esther 3:15	The runners went forth, hurrying by the word of the king, and the law was given in Susa the citadel. And the king and Haman sat down to drink, and the city of Susa was in confusion.
Esther 4:1	And Mordecai knew all that had been done, and Mordecai tore his clothes, and he put on sackcloth and ashes, and he went out into the midst of the city, and he cried out [with] a cry great and bitter.
Esther 4:2	And he came as far as before the face of the gate of the king, for no one [was] to come into the gate of the king in a garment of sackcloth.
Esther 4:3	And in every province and province, any place to which the word of the king and his law reached, [there was] great mourning for the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing—sackcloth and ashes were spread out for many.
Esther 4:4	And the yougn women of Esther and her eunuchs came [in], and they told [it] to her, and the queen writhed exceedingly. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and to remove his sackcloth from him, and he would not receive [them].
Esther 4:5	And Esther called to Hathach from the eunuchs of the king, whom he had caused to stand before her face, and she commanded him concerning Mordecai, to know what this [was], and on account of what this [was].
Esther 4:6	And Hathach went out to Mordecai to the open square of the city, which [was] before the face of the gate of the king.
Esther 4:7	And Mordecai told to him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of the silver that Haman had said to weigh out upon the treasuries of the king for the Jews, to destroy them.
Esther 4:8	And a copy of the writing of the law that was given in Susa to destroy them he gave to him to show Esther, and to tell [it] to her, and to lay the charge upon her to come in to the king, to implore favor from him, and to seek from before his face concerning her people.
Esther 4:9	And Hathach came and told to Esther the words of Mordecai.
Esther 4:10	And Esther spoke to Hathach and commanded him unto Mordecai:
Esther 4:11	“All the servants of the king and the people of the provinces of the king know that any man or woman who comes [in] to the king, into the inner court, who has not been called—[there is] one law: to put [him] to death, except to whom the king extends to him the golden scepter, and he shall live. And I—I have not been called to come [in] to the king these thirty days.”
Esther 4:12	And they told to Mordecai the words of Esther.
Esther 4:13	And Mordecai said to return to Esther, “You should not think in your soul to escape [in] the house of the king more than all the Jews.
Esther 4:14	For if you surely remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and the house of your father will perish. And who knows if perhaps for a time like this you have come to the kingdom?”
Esther 4:15	And Esther said to return to Mordecai:
Esther 4:16	“Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast over me, and you⁺ shall not eat and you⁺ shall not drink [for] three days, night and day. Also I and my young women will fast likewise, and with this I will go to the king, which [is] not according to the law. And if I perish, I perish!”
Esther 4:17	And Mordecai passed by and did according to all that Esther commanded to him.
Esther 5:1	And it came to pass on the third day that Esther clothed [herself in] royalty, and she stood in the inner court of the house of the king, opposite to the house of the king. And the king was sitting on the throne of his royalty in the house of royalty, opposite to the entrance of the house.
Esther 5:2	And it came to pass, as the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she lifted up favor in his eyes. And the king extended to Esther the golden scepter that [was] in his hand, and Esther came near, and she touched the head of the scepter.
Esther 5:3	And the king said to her, “What [is it] to you, Esther the queen? And what [is] your request? As much as half of the kingdom, and it shall be given to you.”
Esther 5:4	And Esther said, “If upon the king [it is] good, let the king come, and Haman, today, to the feast that I have made for him.”
Esther 5:5	And the king said, “Hasten Haman, to do the word of Esther.” And the king came, and Haman, to the feast that Esther had made.
Esther 5:6	And the king said to Esther at the feast of the wine, “What [is] your petition? And it shall be given to you. And what [is] your request? As much as half of the kingdom, and it shall be done.”
Esther 5:7	And Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request:
Esther 5:8	If I have found favor in the eyes of the king, and if upon the king [it is] good to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king come, and Haman, to the feast that I will make for them, and tomorrow I will do according to the word of the king.”
Esther 5:9	And Haman went forth on that day joyful and good of heart; and as Haman saw Mordecai at the gate of the king, and he did not rise and did not tremble from him, Haman was filled [with] rage against Mordecai.
Esther 5:10	And Haman restrained himself, and he came to his house, and he sent and brought his loved ones and Zeresh his wife.
Esther 5:11	And Haman recounted to them the glory of his wealth and the multitude of his sons and everything in which the king had made him great, and that he had lifted him up over the officials and servants of the king.
Esther 5:12	And Haman said, “Even Esther the Queen did not bring with the king to the feast that she made, except for me. And also for tomorrow I am called to her with the king.
Esther 5:13	And all this, none of it is equal to me with every time that I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the gate of the king.”
Esther 5:14	And Zeresh his wife said to him, and all his loved ones, “Let them make a tree fifty cubits high, and in the morning say to the king that they should hang Mordecai upon it; and go with the king to the feast joyfully.” And this word was good before the face of Haman, and he made the tree.
Esther 6:1	On that night, the sleep of the king fled away, and he said to bring the Book of the Records of Events of the Days, and they were called out before the face of the king.
Esther 6:2	And it was found written that Mordecai had declared concerning Bigthan and Teresh, two eunuchs of the king, from the keepers of the threshold, who sought to stretch out a hand against King Ahasuerus.
Esther 6:3	And the king said, “What honor and greatness has been done for Mordecai over this?” And the young men of the king who attended him said, “Not a thing has been done with him.”
Esther 6:4	And the king said, “Who [is] in the court?” And Haman had come into 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.
Esther 6:5	And the young men of the king said to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.”
Esther 6:6	And Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What [is] to be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said in his heart, “For whom would the king delight to do honor more than me?”
Esther 6:7	And Haman said to the king, “The man whom the king delights to honor,
Esther 6:8	let them bring a garment of royalty that the king has clothed himself, and a horse that the king has ridden upon it, and that a crown of royalty has been given on its head,
Esther 6:9	And let the garment and the horse be given upon the hand of a man from officials of the king, the nobles, and let them clothe the man whom the king delights to honor, and have him ride on the horse in the open square of the city, and let them call out before his face, ‘Thus shall it be done for the man whom the king delights to honor.’”
Esther 6:10	And the king said to Haman, “Hurry, take the garment and the horse, as you have spoken, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, the one sitting at the gate of the king. You shall not let fall a word from all that you have spoken.”
Esther 6:11	And Haman took the garment and the horse, and he clothed Mordecai, and he led him in the open square of the city, and he called out before his face, “Thus shall it be done from the man whom the king delights to honor!”
Esther 6:12	And Mordecai returned to the gate of the king, and Haman hurried to his house, mourning and covered [his] head.
Esther 6:13	And Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his loved ones all that had happened to him. And his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai [is] from the seed of the Jews, whom you have begun to fall before his face, you will not prevail against him, but you will surely fall before his face.”
Esther 6:14	They [were] still speaking with him, and the eunuchs of the king arrived, and they hastened to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had made.
Esther 7:1	And the king came in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen.
Esther 7:2	And the king said to Esther also on the second day at the feast of the wine, “What [is] your petition, Esther the queen? And it shall be given to you. And what [is] your request? As much as half of the kingdom, and it shall be done.”
Esther 7:3	And Esther the queen answered and said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if upon the king [it is] good, let my soul be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request;
Esther 7:4	for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be exterminated. And if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold, I would have kept silent, for the adversary [is] not equal in the damage of the king.”
Esther 7:5	And King Ahasuerus spoke and he said to Esther the queen, “Who [is] he, this one? And where [is] this one—he who has filled his heart to do thus?”
Esther 7:6	And Esther said, “A man, an adversary, and enemy [is] this, the evil Haman.” And Haman was terrified from before the faces of the king and the queen.
Esther 7:7	And the king arose in his anger from the feast of the wine to the garden of the palace, and Haman stood to beg for his soul from Esther the queen, for he saw that the evil was determined against him from the king.
Esther 7:8	And the king returned from the garden of the palace to the house of the feast of the wine, and Haman [was] falling upon the couch that Esther [was] on. And the king said, “Is it also to subdue the queen with me in the house?” The word went forth from the mouth of the king, and they covered the face of Haman.
Esther 7:9	And Harbonah, one from the eunuchs, said before the face of the king, “Also behold, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good over the king, [is] standing at the house of Haman, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.”
Esther 7:10	And they hanged Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the rage of the king subsided.
Esther 8:1	On that day King Ahasuerus gave to Esther the queen the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, and Mordecai came before the face of the King, for Esther had declared what he [was] to her.
Esther 8:2	And the king removed his signet ring which he had caused to pass from Haman, and he gave it to Mordecai, and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Esther 8:3	And Esther added, and she spoke before the face of the king, and she fell down before the face of his feet, and she wept, and she sought favor from him, to make pass away the evil of Haman the Agagite and his plotting which he had plotted against the Jews.
Esther 8:4	And the king extended to Esther the golden scepter, and Esther rose, and she stood before the face of the king,
Esther 8:5	and she said, “If upon the king [it is] good, and if I have found favor before his face, and [if] the thing is proper before the face of the king, and I [am] good in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters—the plot of Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite—which he wrote to destroy the Jews who [are] in all the provinces of the king.
Esther 8:6	For how could I bear when I have looked on the evil that would find my people? And how could I bear when I have looked on the destruction of my kindred?”
Esther 8:7	And King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, “Behold, the house of Haman I have given to Esther, and they have hanged him upon the tree, on account that he stretched out his hand against the Jews.
Esther 8:8	And may you⁺ write concerning the Jews as is good in your⁺ eyes in the name of the king, and seal [it] with the signet ring of the king. For a writing that is written in the name of the king and is sealed with the signet ring of the king, there is no revoking.”
Esther 8:9	And the scribes of the king were called at that time, in the third month (it [is] the month of Sivan), on the three and twentieth [day] in it, and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors, and the officials of the provinces that [are] from India even as far as Cush, seven and twenty and a hundred provinces—province by province according to its writing, and people by people according to its tongue, and to the Jews according to their writing and according to their tongue.
Esther 8:10	And he wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and he sealed [it] with the signet ring of the king, and he sent letters by the hand of the runners on the horses, riders of the royal steeds, sons of the mares,
Esther 8:11	that the king gave to the Jews who [were] in every city and city, to gather together and to stand for their soul, to destroy, and to kill, and to exterminate all of the strength of the people and province that would assault them, little children and women, and to plunder their spoil,
Esther 8:12	on a single day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the three and tenth [day] of the two and tenth month, it [is], the month of Adar.
Esther 8:13	A copy of the writing, to be given as law in every province and province, [was] revealed to all the peoples, and for the Jews to be ready for this day to avenge themselves from their enemies.
Esther 8:14	The runners, riding the royal steeds, went forth, being hurried and driven by the word of the king, and the law was given in Susa the citadel.
Esther 8:15	And Mordecai went forth from before the face of the king in a garment of royalty of blue and white, and a great crown of gold, and a robe of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.
Esther 8:16	For the Jews there was light and joy and gladness and honor.
Esther 8:17	And in every province and province, and in every city and city, the place to which the word of the king and his law reached, [there was] joy and gladness for the Jews, a feast and a good day, and many from the people of the land were making themselves Jews, for the fear of the Jews had fallen upon them.
Esther 9:1	And in the two and tenth month (it [is] the month of Adar), on the three and tenth day in it, on which the word of the king and his decree had reached to be done, in the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to gain power over them, this was overturned, that the Jews themselves gained power over those hating them.
Esther 9:2	The Jews gathered together in their cities in all of the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to stretch out a hand against those seeking their evil. And no man could stand before their faces, because the fear of them had fallen upon all the peoples.
Esther 9:3	And all the officials of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and those doing the work that [were] to the king were lifting up the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen upon them.
Esther 9:4	For Mordecai [was] great in the house of the king, and the report of him went forth in all the provinces, for the man Mordecai was going on and becoming great.
Esther 9:5	And the Jews struck in all their enemies a blow of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and they did to those hating them according to their pleasure.
Esther 9:6	And in Susa the citadel the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men.
Esther 9:7	And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Esther 9:8	and Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Esther 9:9	and Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vaizatha,
Esther 9:10	ten sons of Haman son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, they killed. And on the plunder they did not stretch out their hand.
Esther 9:11	In that day, the number of the slain in Susa the citadel was brought before the face of the king.
Esther 9:12	And the king said to Esther the queen, “In Susa the citadel, the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men, and ten sons of Haman. In the rest of the provinces of the king, what have they done? And what is your petition? And it will be given to you. And what is your request again? And it will be done.”
Esther 9:13	And Esther said, “If upon the king [it is] good, let it be given also tomorrow to the Jews who [are] in Susa to do according to the law of today; and let ten sons of Haman be hanged on the tree.”
Esther 9:14	And the king said to do so, and the law was given in Susa, and they hanged ten sons of Haman.
Esther 9:15	And the Jews who were in Susa gathered together again on the four [and] tenth day of the month of Adar, and in Susa they killed three hundred men, and on the plunder they did not stretch out their hand.
Esther 9:16	And the rest of the Jews who [were] in the provinces of the king gathered together and stood for their soul, and they had rest from their enemies. And they killed five and seventy thousand of those hating them, and on the plunder they did not stretch out their hand—
Esther 9:17	on the three and tenth day of the month of Adar—and they rested on the four and tenth of it, and they made it a day of feasting and joy.
Esther 9:18	And the Jews who [were] in Susa assembled on the three [and] tenth of it, and on the four [and] tenth of it, then they rested on the five [and] tenth of it, and they made it a day of feasting and joy.
Esther 9:19	Upon thus the Jews of the villages, the ones dwelling in the cities of the open country, were making the four [and] tenth day of the month of Adar for joy and feasting, and a good day, and sending portions, each man to his neighbor.
Esther 9:20	And Mordecai wrote these words, and he sent letters to all the Jews who [were] in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, those near and those far away,
Esther 9:21	to establish for them to be keeping the four [and] tenth day [of] the month of Adar, and the five [and] tenth day of it, in every year and year,
Esther 9:22	as the days on which the Jews had rest on them from their enemies, and the month that was turned for them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning to a good day, to make them days of feasting and joy, and [for] sending portions, each man to his neighbor, and gifts to the needy.
Esther 9:23	And the Jews received that which they had begun to do, and what Mordecai wrote to them,
Esther 9:24	for Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had caused to fall Pur (that [is], the lot) to throw them into confusion and to destroy them.
Esther 9:25	And when she came in before the face of the king, he said with the letter [that] his evil plot, which he had plotted against the Jews, should return [back] upon his own head, and [that] he and his sons should be hanged on the tree.
Esther 9:26	Upon thus they called these days Purim, on account of the name Pur. Upon thus, on account of all the words of this letter, and what they had seen concerning this [matter], and what had come to them,
Esther 9:27	the Jews established and received [it] upon themselves and upon their seed and upon all those joining upon them, and it shall not pass away to be keeping these two days, according to their writing and according to their appointed time in every year and year,
Esther 9:28	and these days [shall be] remembered and kept in every generation and generation, family and family, province and province, and city and city. And these days of Purim shall not pass away from the midst of the Jews, and their remembrance shall not cease among their seed.
Esther 9:29	And Esther the queen, daughter of Abihail, wrote, and Mordecai the Jew, with full authority, to establish this second letter of Purim.
Esther 9:30	And he sent letters to all the Jews, to the seven and twenty and a hundred provinces [of] the kingdom of Ahasuerus, [with] words of peace and truth,
Esther 9:31	to establish these days of Purim in their appointed times, as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen established upon them, and as they established upon their souls and upon their seed, the matters of the fasts and their outcry.
Esther 9:32	And the command of Esther established these matters of Purim, and it was written in the book.
Esther 10:1	And King Ahasuerus set tribute upon the land and the islands of the sea.
Esther 10:2	And all the work of his power and his strength, and the account of the greatness of Mordecai [by] which the king made him great, are they not written in the Book of the Words of the Days of the Kings of Media and Persia?
Esther 10:3	For Mordecai the Jew [was] second to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and was favored by the multitude of his brothers, seeking good for his people and speaking peace to all his seed.
Job 1:1	There was a man in the land of Uz—Job [was] his name—and that man was blameless and upright and fearing God and turning away from evil.
Job 1:2	And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:3	And his possessions were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pair of oxen, and five hundred female donkeys, and a very large service. And that man was greater than all the sons of the East.
Job 1:4	And his sons would go and make a feast [at] the house of each man [in] his day, and they would send and call to their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Job 1:5	And it came to pass that the days of the feasting had gone around, and Job would send and would sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer up burnt offerings, the number of them all, for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did all the days.
Job 1:6	And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, that Satan also came into their midst.
Job 1:7	And YHWH said to Satan, “From where have you come?” And Satan answered YHWH and said, “From roaming on the earth, and walking back and forth on it.”
Job 1:8	And YHWH said to Satan, “Have you set your heart upon My servant Job, how there is no one like him on the earth, a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil?”
Job 1:9	And Satan answered YHWH and said, “Does Job fear God for nothing?
Job 1:10	Have you not put a hedge around him and around his house, and around all that [is] unto him, surrounding [on every side]? The work of his hands You have blessed, and the [animals of] his possession have burst forth in the land.
Job 1:11	But now stretch out Your hand and touch against all that [is] unto him, if he will not curse you to your face!”
Job 1:12	And YHWH said to Satan, “Behold, all that [is] unto him [is] in your hand; only against him do not stretch out your hand.” And Satan went out from the face of YHWH.
Job 1:13	And there came to be a day when his sons and his daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Job 1:14	And a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing at their sides,
Job 1:15	when the Sabeans fell on them and took them, and they struck the servants with the mouth of the sword—and only I have escaped, by myself alone, to declare [it] to you.”
Job 1:16	Still this one was speaking, when this one came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and it consumed them—and only I have escaped, by myself alone, to declare [it] to you.”
Job 1:17	Still this one was speaking, when this one came and said, “The Chaldeans made three heads and rushed upon the camels and took them away, and they struck the servants with the mouth of the sword—and only I have escaped, by myself alone, to declare [it] to you.”
Job 1:18	Still this one was speaking, when this one came and said, “Your sons and daughters [were] eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn,
Job 1:19	and behold, a great wind came from across the desert and struck against the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they died—and only I have escaped, by myself alone, to declare [it] to you.”
Job 1:20	And Job arose and tore his robe and shaved his head, and he fell to the ground and bowed low,
Job 1:21	and he said, “Naked I came forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I shall return there. YHWH gave, and YHWH has taken away. Let the name of YHWH be blessed.”
Job 1:22	In all this Job did not sin, and he did not ascribe foolishness to God.
Job 2:1	And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before YHWH, and Satan also came into their midst to present himself before YHWH.
Job 2:2	And YHWH said to Satan, “From where have you come to here?” And Satan answered YHWH and said, “From roaming on the earth and walking back and forth on it.”
Job 2:3	And YHWH said to Satan, “Have you set your heart toward My servant Job, how there is no one like him on the earth, a man complete and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? And still he holds firmly to his integrity, although you incited Me against him to devour him without cause.”
Job 2:4	But Satan answered YHWH and said, “Skin for skin—and all that [is] unto the man, he will give for his life.
Job 2:5	But now stretch out Your hand and touch upon his bone and upon his flesh—if he will not curse You to Your face!”
Job 2:6	And YHWH said to Satan, “Behold, he [is] in your hand, yet his life you must spare.”
Job 2:7	And Satan went forth from the face of YHWH, and he struck Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot even up to the crown of his head.
Job 2:8	And he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he was sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Job 2:9	And his wife said to him, “Are you still holding firmly onto your integrity? Curse God and die!”
Job 2:10	And he said to her, “You speak like the speaking of one of the foolish women! Shall we receive the good from God, and not also receive the bad?” In all this, Job did not sin with his lips.
Job 2:11	And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and they came, each man from his place—Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite—and they met together to come to nod to him and to comfort him.
Job 2:12	And they lifted their eyes from afar, and they did not recognize him. And they lifted their voices and wept, and each man tore his robe, and they scattered dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
Job 2:13	Then they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and there was no speaking to him a word, for they saw that [his] pain was very great.
Job 3:1	After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
Job 3:2	And Job spoke and said:
Job 3:3	“May the day perish on which I was born, and the night [that] one said, ‘A male child has been conceived.’
Job 3:4	That day—may it be darkness; let not God seek it above, nor let light shine upon it.
Job 3:5	Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; may a cloud dwell over it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
Job 3:6	That night—let darkness take it! Let it not it rejoice among the days of the year; into the number of the months let it not come.
Job 3:7	Behold, that night—may it be barren, let no joyful shout come into it.
Job 3:8	May they curse it, those cursing the day, those ready to rouse Leviathan.
Job 3:9	May the stars of its morning light be dark; may it look for light and there [be] none, and do not let it see the eyelids of the dawn;
Job 3:10	for it did not shut the doors of my womb, and hide trouble from my eyes.
Job 3:11	Why did I not die from the womb? I should have come forth from the belly and expired!
Job 3:12	Why did the knees meet me, and why the breasts that I should suck?
Job 3:13	For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept—then there would be rest for me
Job 3:14	with the kings and counselors of the earth, who built [up] ruins for themselves;
Job 3:15	or with the princes [with] gold unto them, those filling their houses [with] silver.
Job 3:16	Or [why] was I not hidden like a stillborn child, like infants [who] had not seen the light?
Job 3:17	There the wicked cease [from] trouble, and there those weary of power are at rest—
Job 3:18	together the captives are at rest; they do not hear the voice oppressing [them].
Job 3:19	The small and the great there the same, and the servant [is] free from his master.
Job 3:20	Why is light given to the one toiling, and life to the bitter of soul,
Job 3:21	those waiting for death and there is none, and those digging for it more than hidden treasures,
Job 3:22	those being glad unto joy; they rejoice that they should find the grave?
Job 3:23	To a man [for] whom his path is hidden, and God has hedged around him?
Job 3:24	For before my food my sighing comes, and my groanings pour out like the waters.
Job 3:25	For the dreadful thing I dreaded, and it has met me, and that which I had feared has come to me.
Job 3:26	I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; and I do not have rest, and turmoil has come.”
Job 4:1	And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Job 4:2	“Should one try a word with you, will you be wearied? And who is able to be restrained from a word?
Job 4:3	Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened hands [that are] weak.
Job 4:4	The one stumbling, your words, and bent knees you have strengthened.
Job 4:5	But now it has come to you, and you are weary; it touches unto you, and you are disturbed.
Job 4:6	Is not your fear your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?
Job 4:7	Remember please: Who [is] he [who has] perished being innocent? And where have the upright been cut off?
Job 4:8	According to what I have seen, those plowing iniquity and sowing trouble—they shall reap it.
Job 4:9	By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his nose they are consumed.
Job 4:10	The roar of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.
Job 4:11	The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
Job 4:12	And to me a word was confided; and my ear took [in] a whisper of it.
Job 4:13	In disquieting thoughts from visions of the night, in the falling of deep sleep upon men,
Job 4:14	dread and trembling met me, and the multitude of my bones it frightened.
Job 4:15	And a spirit was gliding over my face, the hair of my flesh bristled.
Job 4:16	It stood still, I could not discern its appearance. A likeness [was] in front of my eyes; [there was] silence, and I heard a voice:
Job 4:17	‘Shall a human be righteous more than God? Can a man be pure more than his Maker?
Job 4:18	Behold, in His servants He does not trust, and His angels He charges with error;
Job 4:19	how much more those dwelling [in] houses of clay, for whom their foundation is in the dust, [who] are crushed before a moth?
Job 4:20	From morning to evening they are broken to pieces; without anyone noticing, they perish forever.
Job 4:21	Has not their tent cord been pulled up with them? They will die, and not in wisdom?’
Job 5:1	[“] Call out, please. Is there one answering you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
Job 5:2	For indignation kills the foolish, and jealousy kills the simple.
Job 5:3	I have seen a fool taking root, and suddenly I cursed his abode.
Job 5:4	His sons are far from safety; indeed they are crushed in the gate, and [there is] none rescuing;
Job 5:5	whose harvest the hungry one devours, even from among the thorns he takes it, and the thirsty one pants [after] their wealth.
Job 5:6	For trouble does not come forth from the dust, nor does toil spring [up] from the ground.
Job 5:7	For man is born into toil, and as the sons of the flame soar to fly.
Job 5:8	But [as for] me, I would seek for God, and unto God I would commit my cause—
Job 5:9	the One doing great things, and there is no searching out, wonders until there is no numbering.
Job 5:10	The One giving rain upon the face of the earth, and sending waters upon the face of the outside,
Job 5:11	to set the lowly ones on high, and those mourning are high in safety.
Job 5:12	[He] is breaking the plots of the crafty, and their hands cannot execute wisdom.
Job 5:13	He is catching the wise in their craftiness, and the counsel of those being deceptive is hurried.
Job 5:14	By day they encounter darkness, and they grope about at midday as [at] night.
Job 5:15	And He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Job 5:16	And there is hope for the poor, and injustice shuts its mouth.
Job 5:17	Behold, blessed [is] the man [whom] God reproves, and the discipline of Shaddai you should not despise.
Job 5:18	For He brings pain, and binds up; he wounds, and his hands heal.
Job 5:19	In six distresses he will rescue you, and in seven, evil shall not touch you.
Job 5:20	In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the hands of the sword.
Job 5:21	From the scourge of the tongue you will be hidden, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Job 5:22	At destruction and famine you will laugh, and of the beasts of the earth you shall not be afraid.
Job 5:23	For your covenant [will be] with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
Job 5:24	And you will know that your tent [is at] peace, and you shall visit your abode and not miss.
Job 5:25	And you will know that your seed [is] numerous, and your offspring like the grass of the earth.
Job 5:26	You shall come in strength to the grave, like the lifting of a sheaf in its time.
Job 5:27	Behold this—we have searched it out, [and] it [is] so; hear it, and you shall know [it] for yourself.”
Job 6:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 6:2	“If only my grief and my calamity could be weighed thoroughly, lifting [it] up together in the scales!
Job 6:3	For now it is heavy, more than the sand of the sea; [and] upon thus my words have been rash.
Job 6:4	For the arrows of Shaddai [are] within me, whose poison my spirit is drinking [in]; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.
Job 6:5	Does the wild donkey bray over [its] grass? Or the ox bellow over its fodder?
Job 6:6	Is the unsavory eaten without salt? Or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
Job 6:7	My soul refuses to touch [them]; they [are] are like disease in my food.
Job 6:8	Who shall grant [that] my request would come? That God may grant my hope!
Job 6:9	[If] God were willing to crush me, to let loose His hand and cut me off!
Job 6:10	And yet [this] would be my comfort, and I would leap for joy in [my] anguish—he does not spare, for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:11	What [is] my strength, that I should hope? And what [is] my end, that I should prolong my life?
Job 6:12	Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh [made of] bronze?
Job 6:13	[Is] there no help for me in me, when success has been taken away from me?
Job 6:14	To one despairing from his friends [there should be] kindness, and the fear of Shaddai he forsakes.
Job 6:15	My brothers are treacherous like a wadi, like a channel of wadis they pass away,
Job 6:16	those being darkened from the ice, upon which the snow hides itself.
Job 6:17	In the time of burning [heat] they are cut off; in the heat they are extinguished from their place.
Job 6:18	The caravans turn aside [from] their paths; they go up into the wasteland and perish.
Job 6:19	The caravans of Tema look on; the travelers of Sheba hope for them.
Job 6:20	They are ashamed that they had trusted; they come unto her and are confounded.
Job 6:21	For now you⁺ are nothing; you⁺ see terror, and you⁺ are afraid.
Job 6:22	Is it that I said, ‘Give to me, or from your⁺ strength offer a bribe on my behalf?
Job 6:23	Or Deliver me from the hand of the enemy, or ransom me from the hand of dreadful ones’?
Job 6:24	teach me, and I will be silent, and give understanding to me of how I have erred.
Job 6:25	How painful are upright words! Yet what does your⁺ argument prove?
Job 6:26	Do you⁺ think to correct my words? And [are] the sayings of one despairing for wind?
Job 6:27	Indeed, over the fatherless you⁺ make it fall, and you⁺ would trade away your⁺ friend.
Job 6:28	And now, may you be willing to turn toward me, or would I lie to your⁺ face?
Job 6:29	Turn, please, let there not be injustice; and turn even now—my righteousness [is] in it.
Job 6:30	Is there injustice on my tongue? Can my palate not discern malice?
Job 7:1	[“] Is there not hard service for man on earth? Are his days like the days of a hireling?
Job 7:2	As a servant longs for shade, and as a hireling awaits his wages,
Job 7:3	so are allotted to me months of emptiness, and nights of toil are appointed to me.
Job 7:4	When I lie down, then I say, ‘When shall I arise?’ But the night is measured out, and I am full of tossings until dawn.
Job 7:5	My flesh is clothed [with] worm and clod of the dust; my skin breaks and festers.
Job 7:6	My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; and they end without hope.
Job 7:7	Remember that my life is a breath; my eye shall not return to see good.
Job 7:8	The eye of the one seeing me shall not behold me; your eyes [are] on me, and I will be no more.
Job 7:9	As a cloud is consumed and goes away, so the one going down [to] Sheol does not ascend.
Job 7:10	He shall not return again to his house, nor shall his place recognize him anymore.
Job 7:11	So I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 7:12	[Am] I a sea or the sea monster, that You would set a guard over me?
Job 7:13	When I say, My bed will comfort me, my couch will lift my complaint,
Job 7:14	then You shatter me with dreams and terrify me with visions,
Job 7:15	so that my soul would choose strangling [and] death rather than my bones.
Job 7:16	I loathe—I would not live forever! Cease from me, for my days are vapor.
Job 7:17	What [is] man that You should magnify him, and that You would set Your heart toward him,
Job 7:18	that You attend to him in the mornings; in the moments You will test him?
Job 7:19	How long will You not look away from me? Will You not leave me alone until I swallow my spittle?
Job 7:20	[If] I have sinned, what have I done to You, O watcher of mankind? Why have You set me to [be] a target for You and [why] should I be a burden to [You]?
Job 7:21	And why do You not lift my transgression and make my iniquity pass away? For now in the dust I shall lie down, and You will seek me, and I [will] not be there.”
Job 8:1	And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Job 8:2	“Until when will you speak these [things], and the words of your mouth [be] a mighty wind?
Job 8:3	Does God pervert judgment? Or [does] Shaddai pervert justice?
Job 8:4	If your sons have sinned against Him, then He has sent them into the hand of their transgression.
Job 8:5	If you seek diligently for God, and ask Shaddai for favor,
Job 8:6	if you [are] pure and upright, surely now He will rouse Himself over you and restore the abode of your righteousness.
Job 8:7	And your beginning was small, and your end will greatly increase.
Job 8:8	For inquire, please, of the former generation, and consider the finding of their fathers.
Job 8:9	For we [are] of yesterday, and we do not know; indeed, our days [are] a shadow upon the earth.
Job 8:10	Will they not instruct you and speak to you, and from their heart bring forth words?
Job 8:11	Can the papyrus rise up without a marsh? Can the reed grow without waters?
Job 8:12	It is still in its greenness—it is not cut down, and before all grass, it withers.
Job 8:13	So [are] the paths of all those forgetting God; and the hope of the godless will perish,
Job 8:14	for whom his confidence shall be cut off, and his trust the house of a spider.
Job 8:15	He leans upon his house, and it does not stand; he takes firm hold on it, and it does not arise.
Job 8:16	He [is] lush before the face of the sun, and over his garden, his shoot goes forth;
Job 8:17	over a rock-pile his roots are wrapped, he looks for a house of stones.
Job 8:18	If one destroys him from his place, then it will disown him: ‘I have not seen you.’
Job 8:19	Behold, this is the joy of his way, and from the dust another sprouts up.
Job 8:20	Behold, God will not reject the blameless, and He will not strengthen the hand of those doing evil.
Job 8:21	Yet He will fill your mouth [with] laughter, and your lips with a shout of joy.
Job 8:22	Those hating you will be clothed [with] shame, and the tent of the wicked [will be] no more.”
Job 9:1	And Job answered and said,
Job 9:2	“Truly I know that [it is] so. But how can a man be righteous with God?
Job 9:3	If one was delighted to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one [time] out of a thousand.
Job 9:4	[He is] wise of heart and firm of strength; who has hardened [himself] against Him and been whole?
Job 9:5	He moves the mountains, and they do not know when He overturns them in His anger.
Job 9:6	He shakes the earth from its place, and its pillars shudder.
Job 9:7	He speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and He seals up the stars,
Job 9:8	stretching out the heavens by himself, and treading upon the heights of the sea.
Job 9:9	Making the Bear [and] Orion, and the Pleiades and the chambers of the south,
Job 9:10	doing great [things] until there is no searching out, and wonders until there is no numbering.
Job 9:11	Behold, He passes by over me, and I do not see [Him]; and He moves past, and I do not perceive Him.
Job 9:12	Behold, He snatches away, [and] who will turn Him back? Who shall say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
Job 9:13	God will not turn aside His nose—beneath Him bowed the helpers of Rahab!
Job 9:14	How then can I answer Him [and] choose my words with Him,
Job 9:15	whom, if I were righteous, I could not answer; to my Judge I would plead for mercy.
Job 9:16	If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He gives ear [to] my voice—
Job 9:17	[He] who crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
Job 9:18	He does not allow me to return my breath, but He fills me [with] bitterness.
Job 9:19	If [it is] of power, behold, [He is] mighty; and if of justice, who can summon [Him]?
Job 9:20	If I were righteous, my own mouth would declare me wicked; if I were blameless, then it would declare me perverse.
Job 9:21	I [am] blameless; I do not know my soul; I despise my life.
Job 9:22	It [is] one [thing]! [And] upon thus I say, ‘The blameless and the wicked He brings to an end.’
Job 9:23	If the whip kills suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
Job 9:24	The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges—If not, then who is it?
Job 9:25	So my days are swifter than a runner; they flee, not seeing good.
Job 9:26	They pass by with ships of papyrus, like an eagle rushing upon its food.
Job 9:27	If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint, let me change my face and smile,’
Job 9:28	I would fear all my sorrows, [and] I know that You will not clear me.
Job 9:29	I am wicked; why then should I labor in vain?
Job 9:30	If I wash myself with water of snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
Job 9:31	yet into the pit You will plunge me, and my own garments will abhor me.
Job 9:32	For [He is] not a man like I [am], [that] I may answer Him, that we would come together into judgment.
Job 9:33	There is not a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon the two of us,
Job 9:34	tu turn away from me His rod, and not let His terror frighten me.
Job 9:35	I would speak and not be afraid of Him; but I [am] not thus with me.
Job 10:1	[“] My soul Is weary of my life; I will leave upon myself my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 10:2	I will say to God: Do not condemn me! Let me know over what You contend with me.
Job 10:3	Is it good to You that You oppress, that You despise the work of Your hands, and upon the counsel of the wicked You shine?
Job 10:4	Are eyes of flesh unto You? Or do You see according to the seeing of a man?
Job 10:5	Are Your days like the days of a man? Or [are] Your years like the days of a man,
Job 10:6	that You would seek for my iniquity, and would search for my sin—
Job 10:7	upon Your knowledge that I am not wicked, and there is no delivering from Your hand?
Job 10:8	Your hands formed me and made me entirely round about, yet You swallowed me up!
Job 10:9	Remember, please, that You made me as [from] the clay. And will You return me to the dust?
Job 10:10	Was [it] not like milk [that] You poured me out, and like cheese You curdled me?
Job 10:11	[With] skin and flesh You clothed me, and with bones and sinews You knit me together.
Job 10:12	Life and loving devotion You have done with me, and Your care has guarded my spirit.
Job 10:13	And these You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You.
Job 10:14	If I sin then You keep watch on me, and You will not clear me from my iniquity.
Job 10:15	If I am wicked, woe to me! And [if] I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head; [I am] full of shame, and seeing my affliction.
Job 10:16	And should it arise—as a lion You would hunt me, and turn back [and] work wonders against me.
Job 10:17	You renew Your witnesses against me and increase Your indignation with me; changes and warfare are with me.
Job 10:18	And why did You bring me forth from the womb? Would that I had expired, and an eye had not seen me,
Job 10:19	as though I had never come to be—that I came from the womb [and] was carried to the grave!
Job 10:20	Are not my days few? Then cease and withdraw from me, and let me smile a little,
Job 10:21	before I go—and I shall not return—to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
Job 10:22	a land of obscurity like thick darkness of the shadow of death, and no order, and it shines like deep darkness.”
Job 11:1	Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said:
Job 11:2	“Shall a multitude of words not be answered? And should a man of lips be justified?
Job 11:3	Shall your idle boasts cause men to be silent? And will you mock, and no one is ashamed?
Job 11:4	For you have said, ‘My doctrine [is] pure, and I am clean in Your eyes.’
Job 11:5	But who will give God to speak, and open His lips against you,
Job 11:6	and declare to you the secrets of wisdom—for [there are] two sides to wisdom. And know that God forgets some of your iniquity.
Job 11:7	Can you find out the searching of God? Or can you find out unto the limit of Shaddai?
Job 11:8	The heights of the heavens—what can you do? [They are] deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
Job 11:9	Longer than the earth [is] its measure, and wider than the sea.
Job 11:10	If He passes by and imprisons and assembles, then who can turn Him back?
Job 11:11	For He knows the men of vanity, and He sees iniquity—[will] He not then discern [it]?
Job 11:12	But a man [who is] hollow will become wise when the colt of a wild donkey is born [as] a man!
Job 11:13	If you would prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands to Him,
Job 11:14	if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and do not let injustice dwell in your tents.
Job 11:15	Surely then you could lift up your face without blemish, and you could be established and not fear.
Job 11:16	For you would forget [your] toil, [and] remember [it] as waters pass by.
Job 11:17	And more than noon life will arise; darkness will become like the morning.
Job 11:18	And you will be secure, because there is hope, and you will search [and] lie down in safety.
Job 11:19	Then You will lie down, and there will be no one making [you] tremble, and many will seek favor [from] your face.
Job 11:20	But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will perish from them, and their hope [be] a puff of the soul.”
Job 12:1	And Job answered and said,
Job 12:2	“Truly [it is] that you⁺ [are] the people, and wisdom will die with you⁺.
Job 12:3	Also unto me [is] a heart like you⁺; I [am] not falling below you⁺. And with whom are not [things] like these?
Job 12:4	I have become a laughingstock to his neighbor, one calling on God and He answered him, righteous [and] blameless—a laughingstock.
Job 12:5	[There is] contempt for disaster in the thought of the secure, prepared for those slipping of foot.
Job 12:6	The tents of robbers are at rest, and those disturbing God are secure—to the one who carries [his] god in his hand.
Job 12:7	But ask now the beasts, and they will instruct you, and the birds of the heavens, and one will declare to you.
Job 12:8	Or speak to the earth and it will instruct you, and the fish of the sea and they will recount to you.
Job 12:9	Who among all these does not know that the hand of YHWH has done this—
Job 12:10	in whose hand [is] the soul of every living [thing], and the breath of all the flesh of man?
Job 12:11	Does not the ear examine words, and the mouth taste food for itself?
Job 12:12	With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days is understanding.
Job 12:13	With Him [are] wisdom and strength; unto Him [are] counsel and understanding.
Job 12:14	Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He closes [up] upon a man, and it cannot be opened.
Job 12:15	Behold, He restrains the waters and they dry up, and He sends them forth and they overthrow the land.
Job 12:16	With Him [are] strength and wisdom and unto Him [are] the deceived and the deceiver.
Job 12:17	He leads away counselors barefoot, and judges He makes foolish.
Job 12:18	The bond of kings He loosens, and He binds a waistband around their loins.
Job 12:19	He leads away priests barefoot, and the established He overthrows.
Job 12:20	He deprives the lip of the trusted ones, and the discernment of the elders He takes away.
Job 12:21	He pours out contempt on nobles, and the mighty He makes feeble.
Job 12:22	He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings to light the shadow of death.
Job 12:23	He makes great nations, and destroys them; He enlarges nations and guides them away.
Job 12:24	He turns aside the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a wilderness without a path.
Job 12:25	They feel [about] [in] darkness without light, and He makes them stagger like a drunkard.
Job 13:1	[“] Behold, all [this] my eye has seen; my ear has heard and understood it.
Job 13:2	According to your⁺ knowledge, I also know; I am not falling below you⁺.
Job 13:3	But I wish to speak to Shaddai, and to reason with God I desire.
Job 13:4	But you⁺, are plasterers of a lie, worthless physicians all of you⁺.
Job 13:5	Who will give [that] you will surely remain silent, and it will be for wisdom for you⁺.
Job 13:6	Hear now my reasoning, and be attentive to the quarreling of my lips.
Job 13:7	Will you⁺ speak injustice for God, and will you⁺ speak deceit for Him?
Job 13:8	Will you⁺ lift His face, or will you⁺ contend for God?
Job 13:9	Will [it be] good when He searches you⁺ out? Or as one mocks a man, can you⁺ mock Him?
Job 13:10	He will surely rebuke you⁺, if in secrecy you⁺ were lifting faces.
Job 13:11	Will not His excellence terrify you⁺ and the dread of Him fall upon you⁺?
Job 13:12	Your⁺ remembrances [are] proverbs of ashes; your⁺ defenses [are] defenses of clay.
Job 13:13	Keep silent from me, and I will speak, and let come upon me what may.
Job 13:14	For what do I take up my flesh in my teeth, and my soul do I set in my palm?
Job 13:15	Behold, He may slay me; unto Him I will hope. Indeed, my ways to His face I will defend.
Job 13:16	Even this [may be] unto me salvation, for the godless one shall not come [in] before His face.
Job 13:17	Listen [with] hearing [to] my speech, and may my declaration [be] in your⁺ ears.
Job 13:18	Behold, now, I have arranged my defense. I know that I am righteous.
Job 13:19	Who [is] he [who] will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.
Job 13:20	Only two [things] may You not do with me; then from Your face I will not hide myself.
Job 13:21	Withdraw your hand from me, and do not let Your terror terrify me.
Job 13:22	And call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and You reply.
Job 13:23	How many [are] the iniquities and sins for me? Make me know my transgression and my sin.
Job 13:24	Why do You hide Your face and consider me as an enemy unto You?
Job 13:25	Would You make tremble a leaf driven away, and would You pursue dry stubble?
Job 13:26	For You write against me bitter [things], and you make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
Job 13:27	And You put my feet in the stock, and You watch all my paths; upon the soles of my feet You engrave.
Job 13:28	And he, like a rotten thing, is worn out, like a garment a moth has eaten.
Job 14:1	[“] Man, born of a woman, [is] short of days and full of trouble.
Job 14:2	Like a flower he comes forth and withers, and he flees like a shadow, and does not stand.
Job 14:3	And upon this one do You open Your eyes; and bring me into judgment with You?
Job 14:4	Who will bring clean from unclean? Not one!
Job 14:5	Since his days are determined, the number of his months [is] with You; his limits You have made, and he cannot pass over [them].
Job 14:6	Look away from him that he may rest, until he can enjoy his day like a hireling.
Job 14:7	For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that again it will pass through, and its tender shoots will not cease.
Job 14:8	Though its root may grow old in the earth, and its stump may die in the dirt,
Job 14:9	from the scent of water it will sprout, and will make branch[es] like a [fresh] planting.
Job 14:10	And a man dies and is laid low; and a man expires, and where [is] he?
Job 14:11	As waters disappear from the sea, and a river dries up and withers,
Job 14:12	so a man lies down and does not arise; until the heavens [are] no more, they will not awaken and they will not be roused from their sleep.
Job 14:13	Who will give [that] You would hide me in Sheol, [that] You would hide me until the turning back of Your anger, [that] You would set for me a limit, and then remember me!
Job 14:14	If a man dies, will he live? All the days of my hardship, I will wait, until the coming of my change.
Job 14:15	You will call, and I will answer You; You will desire the work of Your hands.
Job 14:16	For now, You count my steps; You do not watch over my sin.
Job 14:17	My transgression is sealed up in a bundle, and You plaster over my iniquity.
Job 14:18	But [as] a falling mountain wastes away, and [as] a rock moves from its place,
Job 14:19	[as] stones [by] the waters are worn away, [and] her torrents engulf the dust of the earth, so the hope of man You destroy.
Job 14:20	You prevail over him forever, and he goes away; You change his face and send him away.
Job 14:21	His sons gain honor, and he does not know [it]; and they are diminished, and he does not perceive it.
Job 14:22	Indeed his flesh upon him is in pain, and his soul mourns over him.”
Job 15:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Job 15:2	“Does a wise one answer [with] knowledge of wind, and fill his belly [with] the east wind?
Job 15:3	Should he reason with a word that does not benefit, and with words without profit in them?
Job 15:4	Indeed, you break apart fear, and diminish meditation before the face of God.
Job 15:5	For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
Job 15:6	Your own mouth declares you wicked, and not I; and your lips testify against you.
Job 15:7	Were you born [as] the first man? And were you formed before the face of the hills?
Job 15:8	Do you listen in the council of God, and reduce to yourself wisdom?
Job 15:9	What do you know that we do not know? [What] do you understand that [is] not with us?
Job 15:10	Even the gray-haired and the aged are with us—greater than your father [in] days.
Job 15:11	Are the consolations of God too small for you, or a word in gentleness to you?
Job 15:12	Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes flash,
Job 15:13	that you should turn your spirit against God, and bring out [such] words out of your mouth?
Job 15:14	What [is] man that he should be pure, or that he should be righteous, one born of woman?
Job 15:15	Behold, He does not trust in His holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in His eyes;
Job 15:16	also surely the abominable and corrupt one [is] a man drinking iniquity like water!
Job 15:17	I will tell you! Listen to me, and this [that] I have seen I will recount—
Job 15:18	what the wise have brought forward and have not concealed from their fathers,
Job 15:19	to whom alone the land was given, and a stranger did not pass over in their midst.
Job 15:20	All the days of the wicked, he is writhing, and the number of years is hidden for the ruthless.
Job 15:21	The voice of dread [is] in his ears; in prosperity, the destroyer comes upon him.
Job 15:22	He is not sure to return from darkness, and he [is] watched over unto the sword.
Job 15:23	He [is] is wandering for bread for vultures, knowing that a day of darkness [is] ready at his hand.
Job 15:24	Distress and anguish terrify him; they prevail against him like a king ready for the attack.
Job 15:25	For he stretched out his hand against God, and against Shaddai he sought to prevail,
Job 15:26	running against Him with the neck, [with] thickness of the bosses of his shields.
Job 15:27	For he has covered his face with his fat, and made thick fat upon [his] loin.
Job 15:28	And he dwells in desolate cities, houses in which they do not dwell, which are ready to be heaps.
Job 15:29	He will not be rich, and his wealth will not stand, nor will [his] possessions stretch out over the earth.
Job 15:30	He will not turn aside from darkness; the flame will dry out his shoot, and he will turn aside at the breath of His mouth.
Job 15:31	Do not let him trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his recompense.
Job 15:32	Not in his day will it be fulfilled, and his branch will not be green.
Job 15:33	He will shake off his unripe grape like a vine, and he will cast off his blossom like an olive tree.
Job 15:34	For the company of the godless [is] barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
Job 15:35	They conceive trouble and give birth to inquity, and their belly prepares deceit.”
Job 16:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 16:2	“I have heard many such things, all of you⁺ comforters of trouble.
Job 16:3	[Is] an end to words of wind? Or what compels you that you answer?
Job 16:4	I also could speak as you⁺, if your⁺ soul were in place of my soul; I could join together words against you⁺, and shake at you⁺ with my head.
Job 16:5	I could strengthen you⁺ with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would bring relief.
Job 16:6	If I speak, my sorrow is not relieved; and [if] I cease, how will it go from me?
Job 16:7	Surely now He has worn me out; You have devastated all my company.
Job 16:8	You have bound me—it is a witness; and my leanness rises up against me; it testifies against my face.
Job 16:9	[In] His anger He tears [me] and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; My adversary sharpens His eyes against me.
Job 16:10	They gape at me with their mouth, in scorn they strike my cheeks; as one they mass themselves against me.
Job 16:11	God shuts me up to the ungodly, and upon the hands of the wicked He wrings me out.
Job 16:12	I was at ease, and He broke me; and He seized me by my neck and shattered me, and stood me up for Him as a target.
Job 16:13	His archers circle round against me; He splits my kidneys and does not spare; He pours out my gall on the ground.
Job 16:14	He breaches me, breach upon face of the breach; He runs upon me like a warrior.
Job 16:15	I have sewn sackcloth over my skin, and I have thrust my horn into the dust.
Job 16:16	My face is red from weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death,
Job 16:17	although violence is not in my hands, and my prayer [is] pure.
Job 16:18	O earth, may you not cover my blood, and let there not be a place for my cry!
Job 16:19	Even now, behold! My testimony [is] in the heavens, and my witness [is] in the heights.
Job 16:20	My friends are mocking me; my eye pours out to God.
Job 16:21	And he reasons for a man with God, and [as] a son of man for his friend.
Job 16:22	For the years of [my] number have come, and the path of no return I shall walk.
Job 17:1	[“] My spirit is destroyed, my days are extinguished—graves are for me.
Job 17:2	If not, mockers [are] with me, and in their provocation my eye lodges.
Job 17:3	Place, please, my pledge with You; who [is] he who will strike himself to my hand?
Job 17:4	For You have hidden their heart from understanding, [and] upon thus You will not exalt [them].
Job 17:5	He reports [his] friends for a portion, and the eyes of his sons are consumed.
Job 17:6	And He has made me a byword among the peoples, and a spitting in the face I have become.
Job 17:7	And my eye is dim from sorrow, and my members [are] like a shadow, all of them.
Job 17:8	The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent rouses himself against the godless.
Job 17:9	Yet the righteous shall hold to his way, and the one clean of hands shall add strength.
Job 17:10	But all of them, you⁺ should return and come in, please! And I shall not find a wise one among you⁺.
Job 17:11	My days have passed by, my plans are pulled out—the possessions of my heart.
Job 17:12	They set the night into day: ‘Light [is] near in the face of darkness.’
Job 17:13	If I await Sheol [as] my house, [if] in the darkness I spread out my bed,
Job 17:14	[if] to the Pit I call out, ‘You are My father,’ or to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister’—
Job 17:15	where, then, [is] my hope? And my hope, who can see it?
Job 17:16	Will [it] go down into the hands of Sheol, if we may rest together upon the dust?”
Job 18:1	Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Job 18:2	“Until when will you⁺ set snares for words? Consider, and afterward we will speak.
Job 18:3	Why are we regarded as cattle, as stopped up in your⁺ eyes?
Job 18:4	The one tearing himself in his anger—for your sake will the earth be forsaken and the rock moved from its place?
Job 18:5	Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.
Job 18:6	The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him goes out.
Job 18:7	The strides of his strength are narrowed, and his counsel casts him down.
Job 18:8	For he is cast into a net by his feet, and into a mesh he walks.
Job 18:9	A trap seizes him by the heel, [and] a snare shall prevail over him.
Job 18:10	A cord for him is hidden in the ground, and a trap for him upon the path.
Job 18:11	Terrors round about make him tremble and scatter him at his feet.
Job 18:12	His strength goes hungry, and destruction [is] ready at his side.
Job 18:13	It devours parts of his skin; the firstborn of death devours his parts.
Job 18:14	He is torn from his tent of his safety, and is marched off to the king of terrors.
Job 18:15	[That] not unto him dwells in his tent; brimstone is scattered on his abode.
Job 18:16	Below, his roots are dried out, and above his branch withers.
Job 18:17	His memory perishes from the earth, and no name for him [is] upon the face of the street.
Job 18:18	They drive him from light into darkness, and they chase him from the world.
Job 18:19	No offspring [is] unto him, and no successor among his people, and no survivor in his dwellings.
Job 18:20	Those in the west are devastated at his day, and those in the east are seized with horror.
Job 18:21	Surely these [are] the dwellings of a perverse one, and this [is] is the place [of one] who does not know God.”
Job 19:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 19:2	“Until when will you⁺ afflict my soul, and crush me with words?
Job 19:3	These ten times you⁺ have reproached me; are you⁺ not ashamed [that] you⁺ have done wrong to me?
Job 19:4	And if I have truly gone astray, my straying lodges with me.
Job 19:5	If you⁺ would truly magnify [yourselves] over me and plead my reproach against me,
Job 19:6	then know that God has wronged me and has thrown His net over me.
Job 19:7	Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ And I am not answered. I cry for help, [and] there is no justice.
Job 19:8	My way He has walled off, and I cannot pass over; and upon my paths He has set darkness.
Job 19:9	My honor He has stripped from me, and He has turned aside the crown from my head.
Job 19:10	He tears me down round about and I depart, and He pulls out my hope like a tree.
Job 19:11	And He has kindled against me His anger, and He reckons me for Himself among His adversaries.
Job 19:12	His troops come as one, and they build up their ramp against me, and they encamp all around my tent.
Job 19:13	My brothers He has put far from me, and my acquaintances surely are estranged from me.
Job 19:14	Those near to me have ceased, and those known to me have forgotten me.
Job 19:15	Those who sojourn in my house, and my maidservants, they reckon me as a stranger; I have become a foreigner in their eyes.
Job 19:16	I call to my servant, and he does not answer; with my mouth I seek favor from him.
Job 19:17	My breath is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my womb.
Job 19:18	Even little boys despise me; I arise, and they speak against me.
Job 19:19	All the men of my counsel abhor me; and those I love have turned against me.
Job 19:20	My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Job 19:21	Pity me, pity me, you⁺ my friends, for the hand of God has touched me.
Job 19:22	Why do you⁺ pursue me as God [does]? Are you⁺ not even satisfied with my flesh?
Job 19:23	Who will grant now that my words should be written? Who will grant [that] they be inscribed in a book,
Job 19:24	with a pen of iron and with lead, they would be engraved forever in the rock!
Job 19:25	And I know [that] my Redeemer lives, and in the end He will stand upon the dust.
Job 19:26	And after they strike off my skin thus, yet in my flesh I will see God.
Job 19:27	[He] whom I will see for myself, indeed my eyes will see, and not a stranger. My kidneys yearn in my bosom!
Job 19:28	If you⁺ should say, ‘How we will pursue after him,’ and ‘The root of the matter is found with him,’
Job 19:29	be afraid for yourselves of the face of the sword, for from wrath is the punishment of the sword, so that you⁺ may know [there is] a judgment.”
Job 20:1	And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
Job 20:2	“So my anxious thoughts make me answer, because of my urgency within me.
Job 20:3	The rebuke of my shaming I have heard, and a spirit from my understanding answers for me.
Job 20:4	This do you know from long ago, from the placing of man upon the earth,
Job 20:5	that the triumph of the wicked is brief, and the rejoicing of the godless is for a moment?
Job 20:6	Though his loftiness should go up to the heavens, and his head should touch to the clouds,
Job 20:7	like his dung, forever he will perish; those having seen him will say, ‘Where [is] he?’
Job 20:8	Like a dream he will fly away and they will not find him; indeed he will be made to wander like a vision of the night.
Job 20:9	The eye [that] saw him will not continue, and his place will not behold him again.
Job 20:10	His children will recompense the poor, and his hands will return his wealth.
Job 20:11	His bones are full of his vigor, and upon the dust it will lie down with him.
Job 20:12	Though evil is sweet in his mouth, [and] he hides it under his tongue,
Job 20:13	he has pity on it and does not forsake it, and he withholds it in the midst of his palate.
Job 20:14	His food is turned over in his belly, [and] the venom of cobras [is] within him.
Job 20:15	He swallows wealth and vomits it; from his belly God expels it.
Job 20:16	The poison of cobras he will suck, [and] the tongue of a viper will kill him.
Job 20:17	He shall not look on streams, [or] rivers [with] torrents of honey and cream.
Job 20:18	He will return his gain and not consume it; he will not rejoice from the wealth of his exchange.
Job 20:19	For he has crushed [and] forsaken the poor; he has seized a house, and he did not build it.
Job 20:20	For he has not known quiet in his belly, [and] with his desiring he will not deliver himself.
Job 20:21	There is no remnant for him to eat; [and] upon thus his prosperity will not endure.
Job 20:22	In the fullness of his sufficiency there will be distress for him; every hand of toil will come [upon] him.
Job 20:23	It will come to pass at the filling of his belly, that [God] will send forth against him the burning of His anger, and will rain upon him into his bowels.
Job 20:24	He will flee from a weapon of iron; a bow of bronze will pierce him through.
Job 20:25	It is drawn and comes out from [his] back, and the gleaming point from his gall; terrors shall come over him.
Job 20:26	Complete darkness is hidden for his treasuring; a fire [that is] not fanned will consume him, the remnant in his tent will be devoured.
Job 20:27	The heavens will uncover his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
Job 20:28	The flood will roll away his house, flowing away on the day of His anger.
Job 20:29	This [is] the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him from God.”
Job 21:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 21:2	“Listen carefully [to] my speech, and let this be your⁺ consolation.
Job 21:3	Bear with me, and I will speak; and after I have spoken, you may mock.
Job 21:4	As for me, is my complaint against man? And if [so], why [should] not my spirit be short?
Job 21:5	Turn to me and be appalled, and put a hand over [your] mouth.
Job 21:6	Even when I remember, then I am terrified, and trembling seizes my flesh.
Job 21:7	Why do the wicked live on, growing old, even becoming mighty in power?
Job 21:8	Their seed is established with them before their face, and their offspring before their eyes.
Job 21:9	Their houses [are] safe from dread, and the rod of God is not upon them.
Job 21:10	His bull passes over, without fail; his cow brings forth, and [does] not miscarry.
Job 21:11	They send forth their little boys like a flock, and their children skip about.
Job 21:12	They lift up to the tambourine and harp, and they rejoice at the sound of the flute.
Job 21:13	They wear out their days in prosperity, and in peace go down to Sheol.
Job 21:14	And they said to God, ‘Turn away from us! For we do not delight to know Your ways.
Job 21:15	What [is] Shaddai that we should serve Him? And what do we gain that we should meet with Him?’
Job 21:16	Behold, their own good [is] not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 21:17	How often [is] the lamp of the wicked put out, and their destruction comes upon them? The pains He apportions in His anger.
Job 21:18	They become like straw before the face of the wind, and like chaff that the storm carries him away.
Job 21:19	Does God store up for his sons his trouble? Let Him repay to him, and he will know.
Job 21:20	Let his eyes see his destruction, and let him drink from the wrath of Shaddai.
Job 21:21	For what [is] his delight in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?
Job 21:22	Can one teach knowledge to God, since He judges those being high?
Job 21:23	This one dies in the bone of his perfection, all of him at ease and at rest;
Job 21:24	his pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moist.
Job 21:25	And this one dies bitter in soul, and not having eaten of the good.
Job 21:26	Together upon the dust they lie down, and the worm covers them over.
Job 21:27	Behold, I know your⁺ thoughts, and the notions you⁺ wrest upon me.
Job 21:28	For you⁺ say, ‘Where [is] the house of the noble? And where [is] the tent of the habitation of the wicked?’
Job 21:29	Have you⁺ not asked those passing along the way, and do you⁺ not recognize their signs,
Job 21:30	that from a day of calamity the evil one is held back, [and] in the day of wrath they are brought forth?
Job 21:31	Who shall declare his way to his face? And who will repay him [for] what he has done?
Job 21:32	When he is brought along to the graves, then one keeps watch over [his] tomb.
Job 21:33	The clods of the torrent are sweet to him; and after him every man will extend, and those before his face are without number.
Job 21:34	And how can you⁺ comfort me in vain, and in your⁺ answers remains falsehood?”
Job 22:1	And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Job 22:2	“Can a man be useful to God? Can even a wise one benefit Him?
Job 22:3	Is it pleasure to Shaddai that you are righteous, or gain that you perfect your ways?
Job 22:4	For your fear does He rebuke you and enter against you into judgment?
Job 22:5	Is not your evil great, and your iniquity without end?
Job 22:6	For you take a pledge from your brothers needlessly, and the garments the naked you strip off.
Job 22:7	You have not quenched with water the weary, and from the hungry you have withheld bread.
Job 22:8	But the man of arm, unto him [is] the land, and the uplifted of face, he dwells in it!
Job 22:9	You have sent away widows in emptiness, and the arms of the fatherless are crushed.
Job 22:10	Upon thus [there are] snares all around you, and dread suddenly terrifies you,
Job 22:11	or darkness you cannot see, and an abundance of waters covers you.
Job 22:12	Is not God in the height of the heavens? And behold, the head of the stars, how exalted they are!
Job 22:13	And you say, ‘What does God know? [How] can He judge through the dark cloud?
Job 22:14	Clouds are a covering for Him, so that He does not see, and the vault of the heavens He walks about.’
Job 22:15	Will you keep the way of old, which men of iniquity have trod,
Job 22:16	who were seized, and [it was] not time, their foundation was poured out [by] a torrent?
Job 22:17	They said to God, ‘Turn away from us!’ And’What can Shaddai do to [us]?’
Job 22:18	Yet He filled their houses [with] good—and the counsel of the wicked, may it be far from me!
Job 22:19	The righteous see [it] and are glad, and the innocent one mocks them:
Job 22:20	‘Surely our adversaries cut off, and fire consumes their excess.’
Job 22:21	Make yourself of use now, and be at peace with Him; with these [things] will come to you good.
Job 22:22	Receive, please, instruction from His mouth, and set His words in your heart.
Job 22:23	If you should return to Shaddai, you will be built up, [if] you put far away from your tent iniquity,
Job 22:24	and [if] you set your gold upon the dust, and Ophir among the stones of the torrents,
Job 22:25	then Shaddai will be your gold, and the silver of heights for you.
Job 22:26	For then you will take delight in Shaddai, and you will lift to God your face.
Job 22:27	You will pray to Him, and He will hear you, and your vows you will fulfill.
Job 22:28	Then you will decree a word, and it will stand for you, and upon your paths light will shine.
Job 22:29	When they have made low, and you say Lift up, then the lowly of eyes He will save.
Job 22:30	He will deliver the one not innocent, rescuing him by the purity of your hands.”
Job 23:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 23:2	“Even this day my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy upon my groaning.
Job 23:3	Who will grant [that] I might know and find Him, [and] come unto His seat!
Job 23:4	I would set forth to his face my case, and my mouth I would fill [with] arguments.
Job 23:5	I would know the words He would answer me, and I would understand what He would say to me.
Job 23:6	In the abundance of strength would He contend with me? No, surely He would set [it] upon me.
Job 23:7	There the upright could argue with Him, and I would escape forever from the One judging me.
Job 23:8	Behold, east I go, and He is not there, and west, and I do not perceive Him.
Job 23:9	In the north, in His working, I do not behold [Him]; He turns to the south, and I do not see [Him].
Job 23:10	Yet He knows the way with me; He has tested me, [and] like gold I will come forth.
Job 23:11	My foot has held firm by His steps; His way I have kept, and I have not turned aside.
Job 23:12	And I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; more than my portion I have treasured the words of His mouth.
Job 23:13	And He is of one, and who can turn Him back? And His soul has desired, and He has done.
Job 23:14	For He carries out [what is] appointed for me, and many like these [are] with Him.
Job 23:15	Upon thus, I am terrified before His face; I consider [this], and I am afraid of Him.
Job 23:16	And God has softened my heart, and Shaddai has terrified me.
Job 23:17	For I was not cut off from the face of darkness, and before my face He has covered the dark gloom.
Job 24:1	[“] Why from Shaddai are the times not hidden away, and those knowing Him, they have not seen His days?
Job 24:2	They move boundary markers; they seize a flock and pasture it.
Job 24:3	They drive away the donkey of the fatherless; they take as a pledge the ox of the widow.
Job 24:4	They push the needy off the road; together are hidden the poor of the land.
Job 24:5	Behold, wild donkeys in the desert, they go forth in their work of searching for food; the Arabah [gives] food for them [and] for the young.
Job 24:6	In the field they gather his fodder, and in the vineyard of the wicked they glean.
Job 24:7	Naked they spend the night without a garment, and with no covering in the cold.
Job 24:8	From the showers of the mountains they are wet, and from [being] without a shelter, they have embraced the rock.
Job 24:9	They snatch from the breast the fatherless, and the suckling of the poor they bind with a pledge.
Job 24:10	Naked They go about, without clothing, and hungry—they carry a sheaf.
Job 24:11	Between their walls they press oil; they tread the winepresses and go thirsty.
Job 24:12	From the city men groan, and the souls of the wounded cry out; yet God does not ascribe impropriety.
Job 24:13	They are among those rebelling against the light; they do not recognize its ways, and they do not dwell in its paths.
Job 24:14	At light the murderer arises; he kills the poor and needy, and in the night he is like a thief.
Job 24:15	And the eye of the adulterer watches for twilight, saying, ‘No eye will see me,’ and he puts a cover over his face.
Job 24:16	In the darkness one digs [into] houses, by day they seal themselves in; they do not know the light.
Job 24:17	For the morning [is] for them together the shadow of death—for one regards the terrors of the shadow of death!
Job 24:18	He is swift on the face of the waters; cursed [is] their portion in the land. He does not turn to the way of the vineyards.
Job 24:19	[As] drought and heat tear away the waters of snow, [so] Sheol [does] to those who have sinned.
Job 24:20	The womb forgets him, the worm feeds sweetly on him; no more is he remembered, and injustice is broken like a tree.
Job 24:21	For he feeds [on] the barren woman [who] cannot give birth, and [to] the widow he does not do good.
Job 24:22	And he draws away the mighty with his power; he rises up, and he is not sure of life.
Job 24:23	He gives to him security, and he is supported; and his eyes [are] on their ways.
Job 24:24	They are exalted for a little [while], then they [are] no more; and they are brought low like all [and] are gathered up, and like heads of grain they wither.
Job 24:25	And if not, then who will prove me a liar, and set to nought my speech?”
Job 25:1	And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Job 25:2	“Dominion and dread [are] with Him, the One making peace in His high places.
Job 25:3	Is there a number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not arise?
Job 25:4	So how can a man be righteous with God? Or what can be pure [that] is born of a woman?
Job 25:5	Behold, even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His eyes.
Job 25:6	How much less a man—a maggot, and a son of man—a worm!”
Job 26:1	And Job answered and said:
Job 26:2	“How you have helped the one without power! You have saved the arm [with] no strength!
Job 26:3	How you have advised one without wisdom, and have made known insight in abundance!
Job 26:4	With whom have you declared [these] words? And whose breath has come forth from you?
Job 26:5	The dead are writhing, underneath the waters and those inhabiting them.
Job 26:6	Naked [is] Sheol before Him, and there is no covering to Abaddon.
Job 26:7	He stretches out Zaphon over the void, hanging the earth on nothing whatsoever.
Job 26:8	Binding the waters in His thick clouds, and the clouds are not broken apart under them,
Job 26:9	He covers the face of the throne, [and] spreads over it His cloud.
Job 26:10	He has circled a limit upon the face of the waters, to [be] the boundary of light with darkness.
Job 26:11	The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Job 26:12	By His strength He stirred the Sea, and by His understanding He shattered Rahab.
Job 26:13	By His breath the heavens were made clear; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Job 26:14	Behold, these are the edges of His ways, and how faint of a word do we hear of Him! And the thundering of His might, who can understand?”
Job 27:1	And Job proceeded again to take up his discourse, and he said,
Job 27:2	“[As] God lives, [who] has turned aside my justice, and Shaddai [who] has embittered my soul—
Job 27:3	that any of my breath still [is] in me, and the breath of God [is] in my nostrils,
Job 27:4	my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
Job 27:5	Far be it from me that I justify you⁺; until I die, I will not turn aside my integrity from me.
Job 27:6	My righteousness I hold fast, and I will not let go; my heart shall not reproach [me] in my days.
Job 27:7	May my enemy be like the wicked, and the one rising up against me like the unjust.
Job 27:8	For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
Job 27:9	Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
Job 27:10	Indeed will he delight himself upon Shaddai? Will he call upon God at any time?
Job 27:11	I will teach you⁺ about the hand of God; that which [is] with Shaddai I will not hide.
Job 27:12	Behold, you⁺—all of you⁺—you⁺ have seen this; why then do you⁺ vainly utter this vanity?
Job 27:13	This [is] the portion of the wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the ruthless [which] they receive from Shaddai.
Job 27:14	If his sons should increase, [it is] for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied [with] bread.
Job 27:15	His survivor will be buried in death, and his widows will not lament.
Job 27:16	Though he heaps up silver like the dust, and piles up clothing like the clay,
Job 27:17	he may pile [it] up, but the righteous will wear [it], and the innocent will divide [his] silver.
Job 27:18	He builds his house like the moth, and like a booth made [by] a watchman.
Job 27:19	He lies down rich, but he shall not gather again; he opens his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20	Terrors overwhelm him like waters; in the night a tempest steals him away.
Job 27:21	The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; and it sweeps him from his place.
Job 27:22	And it hurls [itself] upon him, and does not spare; he urgently flees from its hand.
Job 27:23	It claps its hands at him, and hisses at him from his place.
Job 28:1	[“] Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for the gold [that] they refine.
Job 28:2	Iron is taken from the dust, and [from] rock copper is smelted.
Job 28:3	An end he has set for the darkness, yet to every limit he is searching out, a stone in darkness and the shadow of death.
Job 28:4	He opens a shaft away from habitation; those forgotten by the foot, they hang down away from man, and they sway.
Job 28:5	The earth, from which bread comes forth, and underneath is turned as [by] fire—
Job 28:6	a place of sapphire [are] its stones, and dust of gold [is] unto it.
Job 28:7	The path no bird of prey knows, and no eye of a falcon has seen it.
Job 28:8	The sons of pride have not trodden it, and the lion has not passed over it.
Job 28:9	Against the flinty rock he stretched out his hand; he overturns the hills from the root.
Job 28:10	In the rocks he cuts out channels, and his eye sees every precious thing.
Job 28:11	The rivers he has bound from weeping, and a hidden thing he brings to light.
Job 28:12	And wisdom—from where is it found? And where [is] this place of understanding?
Job 28:13	Man does not know its value, and it is not found in the land of the living.
Job 28:14	The deep says, ‘It [is] not in me,’ and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’
Job 28:15	Gold cannot be given for it, nor can silver be weighed [for] its price.
Job 28:16	It is not valued with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or sapphire.
Job 28:17	Gold and crystal cannot equal it, or [is] its exchange a vessel of fine gold.
Job 28:18	Coral and quartz [are] not to be mentioned; and the acquisition of wisdom is more than rubies.
Job 28:19	The topaz of Cush cannot equal it, nor it is valued in pure gold.
Job 28:20	And the wisdom, from where does it come? And where [is] this place of understanding?
Job 28:21	And is it hidden from the eyes of every living [thing]; even from the birds of the heavens it is concealed.
Job 28:22	Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a report of it with our ears.’
Job 28:23	God has understood its way, and He has known its place.
Job 28:24	For He looks to the ends of the earth, [and] He sees under all the heavens,
Job 28:25	to make for the wind a weight, and He portioned out the waters by measure,
Job 28:26	in His making a limit for the rain, and a path for the flash of the thunders—
Job 28:27	then He saw and recounted it; He established it and also searched it out.
Job 28:28	And He said to the man, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord—that [is] wisdom, and the turning aside from evil [is] understanding.’”
Job 29:1	And Job continued to lift up his discourse, and he said,
Job 29:2	“Who will make me as [in] months past, as the days [when] God was keeping me?
Job 29:3	In His lamp shining upon my head, by His light I walked [through] darkness,
Job 29:4	as I was in the days of my harvest time, when the counsel of God was upon my tent,
Job 29:5	when yet Shaddai [was] with me, my children around me,
Job 29:6	with the washing of my steps with cream, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!
Job 29:7	[Or] in my going out [to] the gate upon the town, in the square I established my seat;
Job 29:8	the young men saw me and hid themselves, and old men arose [and] stood;
Job 29:9	the princes refrained from words, and they put a hand on their mouth;
Job 29:10	the voice of the nobles was hidden, and their tongue stuck to their palate.
Job 29:11	For the ear heard and declared me blessed, and the eye saw and testified for me,
Job 29:12	because I rescued the poor crying out, and the fatherless, and no one was helping him.
Job 29:13	The blessing of the one perishing came upon me, and the heart of the widow I caused to sing.
Job 29:14	I clothed myself with righteousness, and it clothed me; like a robe and a turban [was] my justice.
Job 29:15	I was eyes to the blind, and I [was] feet to the lame.
Job 29:16	I [was] a father to the poor, and the case I did not know, I searched it out.
Job 29:17	And I broke the fangs of the unjust, and I cast away the prey from his teeth.
Job 29:18	So I said, ‘In my nest I will die, I will multiply [my] days as the sand.
Job 29:19	My root is open to the waters, and the dew lodges on my branch.
Job 29:20	My glory [is] fresh within me, and my bow in my hand is renewed.’
Job 29:21	They listened to me and waited, and they kept silent for my counsel.
Job 29:22	After my word, they did not speak again, and my speech dripped upon them.
Job 29:23	And they waited for me as for the rain, and their mouth they opened wide, as for the spring rain.
Job 29:24	I smiled at them, [and] they could not believe [it], and the light of my face they did not let fall.
Job 29:25	I chose their path and sat [as] chief, and I dwelt as a king with [his] band, like one who comforts the mourners.
Job 30:1	[“] And now they laugh at me, the fewer in days than I, whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
Job 30:2	Indeed, the strength of their hands, what [is it] to me? Upon them vigor has perished,
Job 30:3	in poverty and in harsh hunger, ones gnawing the dry ground by night, [in] ruin and desolation.
Job 30:4	They [are] plucking mallow among the brush, and the root of the broom tree is their bread.
Job 30:5	From the midst of people they are driven out; they shout at them as [at] a thief.
Job 30:6	On the slope of wadis [they are] to dwell, in holes of the dust and rocks.
Job 30:7	Among the shrubs they bray; under the nettles they huddle together.
Job 30:8	Sons of a fool, even sons without a name, they were scourged from the land.
Job 30:9	And now I have become their song, and I have become a byword among them.
Job 30:10	They abhor me [and] keep far from me; and from my face they do not withhold spit.
Job 30:11	For my bowstring he has loosed and afflicted me, and they have cast [off] the bridle before me.
Job 30:12	On the right a brood arises; they push away my feet, and they build up against me the ways of destruction.
Job 30:13	They break up my path; they advance my calamity, with no one helping them.
Job 30:14	As a wide breach they come; amid the ruin they roll on.
Job 30:15	Terrors are turned over upon me; like the wind it pursues my honor, and like a cloud my deliverance has passed away.
Job 30:16	And now within me my soul is poured out; days of affliction seize me.
Job 30:17	Night pierces my bones from upon me, and my gnawing pains will not lie down.
Job 30:18	With abundance of strength He grasps my garment; by the collar of my tunic He seizes me.
Job 30:19	He has cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
Job 30:20	I cry out to You, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You gaze at me.
Job 30:21	You have turned to [be] cruel toward me; with the strength of Your hand You oppose me.
Job 30:22	You lift me up to the wind and make me ride [it], You toss me about in the storm.
Job 30:23	For I know [that] You will bring me [to] death, and [to] the house of appointment to all the living.
Job 30:24	Surely one does not stretch out a hand against the oppressed, when in his ruin he cries out to [him].
Job 30:25	If not did I weep for the harshness of day, [while] my soul grieved for the needy one?
Job 30:26	And, I hoped for good, and evil came; and I waited for light, and darkness came.
Job 30:27	My bowels have boiled and they do not rest; days of affliction confront me.
Job 30:28	I go about darkened, not by the sun; I rise up in the assembly [and] cry out.
Job 30:29	I have become a brother to jackals, and a companion to the daughters of the ostrich.
Job 30:30	My skin turns black and falls from me, and my bone burns with heat.
Job 30:31	And my harp is changed to mourning, and my flute to the voice of weeping.
Job 31:1	[“] I have made A covenant with my eyes; and how could I gaze upon a virgin?
Job 31:2	For what would be the portion of God from above, and the inheritance of Shaddai in the heights?
Job 31:3	Is not disaster for the perverse one and calamity for the workers of iniquity?
Job 31:4	Does He not see my ways, and count all my steps?
Job 31:5	If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hurried toward deceit,
Job 31:6	let Him weigh me in the scales of justice, and let God know my integrity.
Job 31:7	If my step has turned aside from the way, and my heart has walked, following my eyes, and on my palms has stuck a spot,
Job 31:8	[then] let me sow, and another may eat, and may my crops be uprooted!
Job 31:9	If my heart has been enticed over a woman, or I have lain in wait at the door of my neighbor,
Job 31:10	[then] let my wife grind for another, and others bend down over her.
Job 31:11	For it [is] wickedness, and it [is] to be judged an iniquity.
Job 31:12	For it is a fire [that] devours unto Abaddon, and it would uproot among all my produce.
Job 31:13	If I have rejected the justice of my manservant or my maidservant, in their dispute with me,
Job 31:14	then what shall I do when God arises? And when He inspects, how shall I answer him?
Job 31:15	Did not the One making me in the belly make them, and [that] One prepare us in the womb?
Job 31:16	If I have withheld the poor from pleasure and made to fail the eyes of the widow,
Job 31:17	and have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless could not eat from it—
Job 31:18	indeed from my youth I brought him up as a father, and from the womb of my mother I guided her—
Job 31:19	if I have seen one perishing from lack of clothing, or there [being] no covering for the needy,
Job 31:20	if his loins have not blessed me for warming him by the fleece of my sheep,
Job 31:21	if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help at the gate,
Job 31:22	[then] let my upper arm fall from its shoulder, and my arm be broken [off] from its socket.
Job 31:23	For a calamity from God [is] dread to me, and His majesty I cannot overpower.
Job 31:24	If I have set my confidence [upon] gold, or to fine gold I have said, “My trust;”
Job 31:25	if I have rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because my hand had acquired much;
Job 31:26	if I have seen the light when it shines, or the moon moving [in] splendor,
Job 31:27	so that my heart has been enticed in secret, and my hand has kissed my mouth,
Job 31:28	[then] this also be judged an iniquity, for I would have lied to God above.
Job 31:29	If I have rejoiced in the destruction of one hating me, or raised myself up because evil found him—
Job 31:30	though I had not given my mouth to sin by asking with a curse for his life—
Job 31:31	if the men of my tent have not said, ‘Who will give from his flesh not having been satisfied?’—
Job 31:32	A sojourner does not lodge in the street, [for] I have opened my doors to the traveler—
Job 31:33	if I have covered my transgressions like Adam, by hiding my guilt in my bosom,
Job 31:34	because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of the clans terrified me and I kept silent, not going out the door—
Job 31:35	(Who will give to me one listening to me? Behold, my mark and let Shaddai answer me! And the bill the man of my dispute that has written!
Job 31:36	If not, I would take it up upon my shoulder, [and] bind it as crowns to myself.
Job 31:37	The count of my steps I would declare to him; like a prince I would approach Him.)—
Job 31:38	If my land cries out against me, and together its furrows weep;
Job 31:39	if I have eaten its power without silver, and I have caused to breathe out the soul of its workers,
Job 31:40	[then] in place of the wheat let a thorn come forth, and weeds in place of barley.” The words of Job have ended.
Job 32:1	And these three men ceased from answering Job, because he [was] righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2	But the anger of Elihu son of Barachel, the Buzite from the family of Ram, was kindled; his anger was kindled against Job, upon his justifying himself rather than God.
Job 32:3	And his anger was kindled against his three friends, upon that they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job wrong.
Job 32:4	And Elihu had waited with words [to] Job, because they [were] older than he in days.
Job 32:5	And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.
Job 32:6	And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, “I [am] Young in days, and you⁺ [are] aged; upon thus I shrank back, and I was afraid of declaring my knowledge to you⁺.
Job 32:7	I said, “Days shall speak, and a multitude of years shall make known wisdom.’
Job 32:8	Surely it [is] a spirit in a man, and the breath of Shaddai gives them understanding.
Job 32:9	Not [only] the great [in years] [are] wise, nor do [only] the aged understand justice.
Job 32:10	Therefore I say, ‘Listen to me; I will declare my knowledge, even I.’
Job 32:11	Behold, I have waited for your⁺ words; I gave [my] ear to your⁺ reasonings, while you⁺ searched for the words.
Job 32:12	And to you⁺ I attended, and behold, there was no one proving Job wrong [or] answering his words among you⁺,
Job 32:13	lest you⁺ say, ‘We have found wisdom; let God drive him away, not man.’
Job 32:14	And he has not arrayed [his] words toward me, and I will not answer him with your⁺ words.
Job 32:15	They are dismayed, [and] do not answer anymore; the words have gone away from them.
Job 32:16	And I have waited, because they do not speak, because they stand there [and] do not answer anymore?
Job 32:17	I will answer—even I—my portion; I will show my knowledge—even I.
Job 32:18	For I am full of words; the spirit [in] my belly presses me.
Job 32:19	Behold, my belly [is] like wine not opened; like new wineskins, it is bursting open.
Job 32:20	I will speak, and there is refreshment for me; I will open my lips and answer.
Job 32:21	Do not, please, let me lift up the face of a man; and do not let me give a title to man.
Job 32:22	For I do not know how to give a title; soon my Maker would take me away.
Job 33:1	[“] But, please, O Job, hear my speech, and give ear [to] all my words.
Job 33:2	Behold now, I open my mouth; my tongue speaks in my palate.
Job 33:3	From the straightness of my heart [are] my words, and my lips, being pure, speak knowledge.
Job 33:4	The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of Shaddai gives me life.
Job 33:5	If you are able to refute me, arrange it before my face; station yourself.
Job 33:6	Behold, I [am] according to your mouth before God; from clay I also have been formed.
Job 33:7	Behold, my terror should not frighten you; and my hand on you shall not be heavy.
Job 33:8	Surely you have spoken in my ears, and the sound of the words I have heard.
Job 33:9	‘I [am] pure, without transgression; I [am] clean, and no iniquity [is] in me.
Job 33:10	Behold, He finds occasions against me; He reckons me as an enemy to Him.
Job 33:11	He puts my feet into the shackles; He watches all my paths.’
Job 33:12	Behold, [in] this you are not right; I will answer you, for God is greater than man.
Job 33:13	Why do you contend against Him, for all words He does not answer?
Job 33:14	For once God speaks, and twice—one does not perceive it.
Job 33:15	In a dream, a vision of the night, in the falling of deep sleep upon men, in slumbers upon a bed,
Job 33:16	then He uncovers the ear of men, and with correction He seals [them],
Job 33:17	to turn aside a man from his doing, and to conceal pride from a man.
Job 33:18	He holds back his soul from the Pit, and his life from crossing over by a weapon.
Job 33:19	And he is churried with pain on his bed, and strife in his bones is continual,
Job 33:20	and his life abhors bread, and his soul food of desire.
Job 33:21	His flesh is consumed from sight, and his bones [that] were not seen are laid bare.
Job 33:22	And his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to those causing death.
Job 33:23	If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to declare to man his uprightness,
Job 33:24	and shows him favor and says, ‘Spare him from going down [into] the Pit; I have found a ransom,’
Job 33:25	[then] his flesh is refreshed like a child’s, [and] he returns to the days of his youth.
Job 33:26	He prays to God, and He shows him favor; and he sees His face with a shout of joy, and He restores to the man His righteousness.
Job 33:27	Then he shall sing before men and say, ‘I have sinned, and have twisted uprightness, and He did not requite [it] of me.
Job 33:28	He has ransomed my soul from going down to the Pit, and my life shall look on the light.’
Job 33:29	Behold, all these [things] God does two or three [times] with a man,
Job 33:30	to bring back his soul from the Pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 33:31	Pay attention, O Job; listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.
Job 33:32	If there are words, answer me; speak, for I delight to prove you right.
Job 33:33	If not, [then] you must listen to me; keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”
Job 34:1	And Elihu answered and said,
Job 34:2	“Hear, O wise men, my words, and give ear to me, knowing ones.
Job 34:3	For the ear shall test words, and the palate tastes to eat.
Job 34:4	Let us choose for ourselves what is just; let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
Job 34:5	For Job has said, ‘I am righteous, and God has turned aside my justice.
Job 34:6	[And] over my justice should I lie? Mortal [is] my arrow, without transgression.’
Job 34:7	Who [is] a man like Job, drinking up derision like the water,
Job 34:8	and he travels in company with workers of iniquity, and in walking with men of wickedness?
Job 34:9	For he has said, ‘Nothing does it profit a man that he should delight in God.’
Job 34:10	Therefore, O men of heart, listen to me. Far be it to God from wickedness, and Shaddai from injustice.
Job 34:11	For the work of man, he repays to him; and according to the way of a man, He causes him to find [it].
Job 34:12	Yes, surely God does not act wickedly, and Shaddai does not pervert justice.
Job 34:13	Who gave charge to Him over the earth? And who has set [Him] [over] all of the world?
Job 34:14	If He should set His heart to it, gathering His Spirit and His breath to Himself,
Job 34:15	[then] all flesh would perish together, and man would return to the dust.
Job 34:16	And if [there is] understanding, hear this; give ear to the sound of my words.
Job 34:17	And shall one hating justice govern? Or will you declare wicked the just and mighty One?
Job 34:18	Who says to a king, ‘Worthless,’ [or] to nobles, ‘Wicked’?
Job 34:19	Who does not lift the faces of princes, and does not acknowledge the rich before the face of the poor, for they [are] all the work of His hands.
Job 34:20	[In] a moment they die, and in the middle of the night the people are shaken and pass away; and the mighty are taken away, not by a hand.
Job 34:21	For His eyes [are] upon the ways of man, and all of his steps He sees.
Job 34:22	There is no darkness and no shadow of death, [for] the workers of iniquity to be hidden there.
Job 34:23	For He does not set upon a man further, for his going before God in the judgment.
Job 34:24	He breaks the mighty without investigation, and makes others stand in their place.
Job 34:25	Therefore, He recognizes their works, and He overturns [them] in the night, and they are crushed.
Job 34:26	In exchange for their wickednesses, He strikes them in a place of seeing,
Job 34:27	which [was] upon thus: They turned aside from Him, and they had no regard for any of His ways,
Job 34:28	They caused the cry of the poor to cause to come before Him—and He heard the cry of the afflicted.
Job 34:29	And he is silent, and who can call Him wicked? And He hides [His] face, and who can see Him? And He is over a nation and over man alike,
Job 34:30	from the reigning of godless a man, from the snares of the people.
Job 34:31	If one says to God, ‘I have lifted [it], [and] no more will I offend;
Job 34:32	besides what I see, You teach me; if I have done iniquity, I will not continue [it]’
Job 34:33	will he repay it from with you, because you have rejected [it]? Then you must choose, and not I, and may you speak what you know.
Job 34:34	Men of understanding will say to me, and the wise man [who is] listening to me:
Job 34:35	‘Job [does] not speak with knowledge, and His words [are] not with wisdom.’
Job 34:36	If only Job were tested to the end, upon his answers among men of iniquity!
Job 34:37	For he adds rebellion upon his sin; among us he claps, and he multiplies his words against God.”
Job 35:1	And Elihu answered and said:
Job 35:2	“This do you reckon to be justice? You say, ‘I am righteous above God.’
Job 35:3	Indeed you say, ‘What does it benefit You? What do I gain from my sin?”
Job 35:4	I will return to you the words, and [to] your friends with you.
Job 35:5	Look to the heavens and see, and behold the clouds—they are higher than you.
Job 35:6	If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him? Or [if] your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
Job 35:7	If you are righteous, what do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?
Job 35:8	Your wickedness [is] to a man such as you, and your righteousness to a son of man.
Job 35:9	From the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help from the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:10	Yet no one says, ‘Where [is] God my Maker, the One giving songs in the night,
Job 35:11	teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, and making us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
Job 35:12	There they cry out, but He does not answer, from the face of the pride of evil ones.
Job 35:13	Surely God will not listen [to] vanity, and Shaddai will not regard it.
Job 35:14	Indeed, though you say [that] you do not see Him, justice [is] before His face, and you must wait for Him.
Job 35:15	And now, because He does not visit His anger, and has not taken much note of transgression,
Job 35:16	and Job opens his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.”
Job 36:1	And Elihu added and said:
Job 36:2	“Surround unto me a little, and I will show you, that [there are] words yet to God.
Job 36:3	I will lift up my knowledge from afar, and to my Maker I will ascribe righteousness.
Job 36:4	For truly, my words [are] not false; the one complete in knowledge [is] with you.
Job 36:5	Behold, God [is] mighty, and He does not despise; [He is] mighty [in] strength of heart.
Job 36:6	He does not keep the wicked alive, and He gives justice to the afflicted.
Job 36:7	He does not take away His eyes from the righteous, but [they are] with kings on the throne; and He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
Job 36:8	And if they are bound in the fetters, caught in the cords of affliction,
Job 36:9	then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, because they magnified themselves.
Job 36:10	And He opens their ear to correction, and He says that they should turn back from iniquity.
Job 36:11	If they do hear and serve, they will complete their days in good, and their years in pleasantness.
Job 36:12	And if they do not obey, by a weapon they shall pass away, and they shall die as without knowledge.
Job 36:13	And the godless of heart set the nose; they do not cry out when He binds them.
Job 36:14	Their soul dies in youth, and their life among the male shrine prostitutes.
Job 36:15	He rescues the afflicted one by his affliction, and uncovers their ear by oppression.
Job 36:16	And indeed He has drawn you from the mouth of distress, [into] a broad place without constraint under it, and the resting of your table is full of richness.
Job 36:17	And you are filled [with] the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold—
Job 36:18	for wrath, lest it entice you with mocking, and a large bribe not let it stretch you.
Job 36:19	Can your opulence make arrangement in time of distress, or all the forces of strength?
Job 36:20	Do not long for the night, for the coming up of peoples in place of them.
Job 36:21	Take heed not to turn to iniquity, for upon this you have been chosen by affliction.
Job 36:22	Behold, God is exalted in His power; who [is] a teacher like Him?
Job 36:23	Who has appointed for Him His way? Or who has said, ‘You have done unrighteousness’?
Job 36:24	Remember that you should magnify His work, of which men have sung.
Job 36:25	Every man has gazed on it; mankind looks on [it] from afar.
Job 36:26	Behold, God [is] great, and we do not know [Him], and [there is] no searching the number of His years.
Job 36:27	For He draws up drops of water; they distill as rain from the mist,
Job 36:28	which the clouds pour down; they drop upon man in abundance.
Job 36:29	Indeed, if one will understand the spreading out of a cloud, the noises [from] His pavilion?
Job 36:30	Behold, He scatters His lightning around Him, and covers the depths of the sea.
Job 36:31	For by these He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance.
Job 36:32	With [His] palms He covers the lightning, and He gives a charge upon it for [its] striking.
Job 36:33	[By] its shouting He declares concerning it, the cattle also concerning the arising.
Job 37:1	[“] Indeed at this my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place.
Job 37:2	Listen closely to the quaking of His voice, and the rumbling from His mouth [that] comes forth.
Job 37:3	Beneath all the heaven He unleashes it, and His lightning [is] over the edges of the earth.
Job 37:4	After it, a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
Job 37:5	God thunders with His voice wondrously; He does great [things] that we cannot know.
Job 37:6	For to the snow He says, ‘Fall [on] the earth,’ and to the shower of rain, and to the shower, ‘[Be] the rains of His might.’
Job 37:7	He seals up the hand of every man, for the knowing of His work [by] all men.
Job 37:8	And the beast comes into [its] lair, and in its dens it shall dwell.
Job 37:9	From [its] chamber the whirlwind comes, and the cold from the scattering winds.
Job 37:10	From the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters [is] in constraint.
Job 37:11	Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud; His lightning scatters the cloud.
Job 37:12	And it turns around, being turned [about] by His guidance, to do all of what He commands them above the face of the habitation of the earth.
Job 37:13	If for the rod, if for His land, if in His loving devotion, He makes it find it.
Job 37:14	Give ear to this, O Job; stand and consider the wonders of God.
Job 37:15	Do you know [how] God does place upon them, and [how] He causes the light of His cloud to shine?
Job 37:16	Do you know about the balancing of the cloud, the wonders of the One perfect in knowledge,
Job 37:17	[you] whose garments [are] hot in the quieting of the earth from the south?
Job 37:18	Have you beaten the skies with him, strong as a mirror of cast metal?
Job 37:19	Make us know what we should say to Him; we cannot arrange from the face of the darkness.
Job 37:20	Should it be told to Him that I would speak, If a man spoke that he would be swallowed up?
Job 37:21	And now they cannot look at the light; it [is] bright in the clouds when the wind has passed over and cleansed them.
Job 37:22	Gold comes from the north; upon God [is] a fearsome majesty.
Job 37:23	Shaddai—we cannot find Him out! [He is] great [in] power and judgment, and abundant [in] righteousness, He does not oppress.
Job 37:24	Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard any of the wise of heart.”
Job 38:1	And YHWH answered Job out of the whirlwind, and He said:
Job 38:2	“Who [is] this darkening counsel with words lacking knowledge?
Job 38:3	Gird up your loins now like a man, and I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
Job 38:4	Where were you at my founding of the earth? Declare it if you know [with] understanding.
Job 38:5	Who set its measurements? Surely you must know! Or who stretched over it a line?
Job 38:6	On what were its bases made to sink [in], or who cast the stone of its corner,
Job 38:7	at the singing together [by] the stars of the morning, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8	Or [who] shut in the sea with doors, at its coming forth in its bursting from the womb,
Job 38:9	in my setting [for] the cloud its garment, and [for] the dark cloud its swaddling band,
Job 38:10	when I broke forth over it My decree, and set in place a bar and doors,
Job 38:11	and I said, ‘Up to here you may come, and you shall not go further; and here shall be set the pride of your waves’?
Job 38:12	have you commanded the morning from your days, [and] made the dawn to know its place,
Job 38:13	for [it] to take hold of the edges of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14	It is turned over like clay under a seal, and they stand out like a garment.
Job 38:15	And their light is withheld from the wicked, and the arm upraised is broken.
Job 38:16	Have you come to the springs of the sea, or in search of the depths have you walked about?
Job 38:17	Have the gates of death been uncovered to you, or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18	Have you comprehended to the breadths of the earth? Declare it if you know all of it.
Job 38:19	Where [is] this way [to] the dwelling of light? And of darkness, where [is] this its place,
Job 38:20	that you may take it to its border, that you may know the paths [to] its home?
Job 38:21	You must know [it], for you were born then, and the number of your days [is] great!
Job 38:22	Have you come to the treasury of snow, or have you seen the treasury of hail,
Job 38:23	that I have held back for a time of trouble, for a day of battle and war?
Job 38:24	Where [is] this, the way light is apportioned? The east wind is scattered over the earth.
Job 38:25	Who has divided out a channel for the flood, or a path for the lightning of the thunderings,
Job 38:26	to make rain come upon a land without man, a desert without man in it,
Job 38:27	to satisfy the waste and the desolation, and to make sprout the shoot of the grass?
Job 38:28	Is there a father for the rain? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
Job 38:29	From whose womb comes forth the ice? And the frost of the heavens, who gives birth to it?
Job 38:30	Like stone, the waters hide themselves, and the face of the deep is seized.
Job 38:31	Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or can you open the cords of Orion?
Job 38:32	Can you bring forth Mazzaroth in its time? Or can you lead out the Bear with her cubs?
Job 38:33	Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Or can you set its rule over the earth?
Job 38:34	Can you raise to the cloud your voice, and an abundance of waters will cover you?
Job 38:35	Can you send out lightnings, that they may go and say to you, ‘Behold us’?
Job 38:36	Who has put wisdom in the inner parts? Or who has given to the heart understanding?
Job 38:37	Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or the water skins of the heavens, who can tilt,
Job 38:38	in the pouring of the dust into a mass, and the clods clinging together?
Job 38:39	Can you hunt prey for a lion, or satisfy the life of young lions,
Job 38:40	when they crouch in the dens, dwelling in a thicket, lying in wait in [it]?
Job 38:41	Who provides to the raven its food when its children cry out to God and wander for lack of food?
Job 39:1	[“] Do you know the time of the bearing of the goats of the rock? Can you observe the twisting of the does?
Job 39:2	Can you number the months they fulfill? Or do you know the time of their giving birth?
Job 39:3	They bend down [and] squeeze out their young; their labor pains they send forth.
Job 39:4	Their young ones are healthy; they increase in the field; they go forth and do not return to them.
Job 39:5	Who sent away the wild donkey free? And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey,
Job 39:6	whose I have made the Arabah house, the salt land [as] his dwelling?
Job 39:7	He laughs at the tumult of the city; the shouts of the driver he does not hear.
Job 39:8	He searches out the mountains for his pasture, and after every green thing he searches.
Job 39:9	Is the wild ox willing to serve you, or will he lodge by your manger?
Job 39:10	Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with a cord, or will he harrow the valleys after you?

Psalm 78:47	He destroyed with hail their vines, and their sycamore trees with frost.
Psalm 78:48	And He gave up to the hail their cattle, and their flocks to the firebolts.
Psalm 78:49	He sent against them the burning of His anger—fury, and rage, and distress, a discharge of messengers of evils.
Psalm 78:50	He made level a path for His anger; He did not spare their soul from death, and He gave over their life to the pestilence.
Psalm 78:51	He even struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the first of the vigour in the tents of Ham.
Psalm 78:52	And His people He made go forth like sheep, and He guided them like a flock in the wilderness.

Psalm 78:57	And they turned back and were treacherous like their fathers; they were turned like a bow of deceit.
Psalm 78:58	And they provoked Him to anger with their high places, and with their carved images they made Him jealous.
Psalm 78:59	God heard and boiled over, and exceedingly He rejected Israel;
Psalm 78:60	and He left behind the dwelling place of Shiloh, the tent He had pitched among men,

Psalm 78:62	And He delivered up His people to the sword, and on His inheritance He boiled over.

Psalm 78:65	And the Lord awoke as a sleeper, as a mighty one overcome by wine.
Psalm 78:66	And He beat his adversaries back; a reproach forever He gave to them.

Psalm 78:68	And He chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which He loved.
Psalm 78:69	And He built His sanctuary like the heights; like the earth He founded it forever.

Proverbs 1:1	The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:
Proverbs 1:2	For knowing wisdom and discipline, for discerning words of understanding,
Proverbs 1:3	for receiving the instruction of wisdom, righteousness, and justice, and uprightness,
Proverbs 1:4	for giving to the simple ones prudence, to a youth knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 1:5	Let the wise hear and add to instruction, and the discerning acquire wise counsel,
Proverbs 1:6	to understand a proverb and a parable, the words of the wise ones and their riddles.
Proverbs 1:7	The fear of YHWH [is] the beginning of knowledge; wisdom and instruction fools have despised.
Proverbs 1:8	Hear, my son, the discipline of your father, and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
Proverbs 1:9	For a garland of grace they [are] to your head, and pendants for your neck.
Proverbs 1:10	My son, if sinners should entice you, do not be willing.
Proverbs 1:11	If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide for the innocent one without cause;
Proverbs 1:12	let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit;
Proverbs 1:13	all precious wealth we will find, we will fill our houses with plunder;
Proverbs 1:14	let your lot fall in our midst—one purse there shall be for all of us!”—
Proverbs 1:15	My son, do not walk in the way with them; withhold your foot from their path;
Proverbs 1:16	for their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
Proverbs 1:17	For the net is spread in vain in the eyes of any owner of the wing,
Proverbs 1:18	and they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk for their own souls.
Proverbs 1:19	Such [are] the ways of everyone being greedy for dishonest gain—the soul of its masters it takes away.
Proverbs 1:20	Wisdom calls aloud in the street; in the open squares she gives forth her voice.
Proverbs 1:21	At the head of the clamoring she cries out; at the openings of the gates in the city she speaks her words:
Proverbs 1:22	“Until when, O simple ones, will you⁺ love simplicity, and those mocking delight themselves in mockery, and the foolish ones hate knowledge?
Proverbs 1:23	Turn back at my rebuke; behold, I will pour out on you⁺ my spirit; I will make known my words to you⁺.
Proverbs 1:24	Because I have called and you⁺ refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no one is paying attention;
Proverbs 1:25	and you⁺ have neglected all my counsel, and you⁺ did not consent to my rebuke.
Proverbs 1:26	I also will laugh at your⁺ calamity; I will mock the coming of your⁺ dread;
Proverbs 1:27	your⁺ dread comes like a storm, and your⁺ calamity like a whirlwind comes, in the coming upon you⁺ of distress and anguish.
Proverbs 1:28	Then they will call on me, and I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, and they will not find me,
Proverbs 1:29	upon that they hated knowledge and they have not choosen the fear of YHWH.
Proverbs 1:30	They did not consent to my counsel; they have despised all my reproof.
Proverbs 1:31	And they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and from their own counsels they shall be filled.
Proverbs 1:32	For the turning away of the simple ones slays them, and the complacency of fools destroys them.
Proverbs 1:33	And the one listening to me will dwell [in] safety, and will be at ease from the dread of evil.”
Proverbs 2:1	My son, if you receive my words and you treasure my commands within you,
Proverbs 2:2	to make your ear attentive to wisdom, you incline your heart to understanding.
Proverbs 2:3	For if you call out for understanding, [and] for insight you give forth your voice,
Proverbs 2:4	if you seek her like silver, and like hidden treasures you search for her,
Proverbs 2:5	then you will understand the fear of YHWH, and the knowledge of God you will find.
Proverbs 2:6	For YHWH gives wisdom; from His mouth [is] knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:7	He stores up for the upright good sense—protection for those walking with integrity.
Proverbs 2:8	He watches over the paths of justice, and the way of His holy ones He guards.
Proverbs 2:9	Then you will understand righteousness and justice and uprightness, every good path.
Proverbs 2:10	For wisdom will enter into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Proverbs 2:11	Discretion will guard over you; understanding will guard you,
Proverbs 2:12	to snatch you from the way of evil, from the man speaking perversity—
Proverbs 2:13	those abandoning the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness,
Proverbs 2:14	those glad to do evil, they rejoice in the perversity of evil,
Proverbs 2:15	whose ways [are] crooked, and [who] are turning aside in their paths.
Proverbs 2:16	It will deliver you from a strange woman, from a foreign woman having made smooth her words,
Proverbs 2:17	the one having forsaken the guide of her youth, and she has forgotten the covenant of her God.
Proverbs 2:18	For her house sinks down to death, and her paths to the Rephaim.
Proverbs 2:19	Of all those coming to her, none will return, nor will they reach the paths of life.
Proverbs 2:20	So you must walk in the way of the good ones, and guard the paths of the righteous ones.
Proverbs 2:21	For the upright will dwell in the land, and the blameless ones will remain in it.
Proverbs 2:22	And the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and treacherous ones will be plucked out from it.
Proverbs 3:1	My son, do not forget my instruction, and let your heart keep my commands.
Proverbs 3:2	For length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
Proverbs 3:3	And do not let loving devotion and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Proverbs 3:4	And you will find favor and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.
Proverbs 3:5	Put your trust unto YHWH with all your heart, and lean not unto your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:6	In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:7	Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear YHWH and turn away from evil.
Proverbs 3:8	Healing it will be to your navel, and refreshment to your bones.
Proverbs 3:9	Honor YHWH from your wealth, and from the first of all your produce,
Proverbs 3:10	and your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine.
Proverbs 3:11	My son, do not despise the discipline of YHWH, and do not be grieved by His reproof,
Proverbs 3:12	for whom YHWH loves, He reproves, even as a father the son he is pleased with.
Proverbs 3:13	Blessed [is] the man [who] has found wisdom, and the man [who] brings forth understanding,
Proverbs 3:14	for better [is] the profit from her than profits of silver, and her produce than fine gold.
Proverbs 3:15	Precious she [is] above rubies, and all your delights do not compare with her.
Proverbs 3:16	Length of days [is] in her right hand, [and] in her left hand [are] wealth and honor.
Proverbs 3:17	Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
Proverbs 3:18	A tree of life she [is] to those taking hold on her, and those grasping her are blessed.
Proverbs 3:19	YHWH by wisdom founded the earth; He established the heavens by understanding;
Proverbs 3:20	by His knowledge the depths have been broken up, and the clouds dripped dew.
Proverbs 3:21	My son, do not do let them depart from your eyes; keep watch over wisdom and discretion,
Proverbs 3:22	and they will be life for your soul, and grace for your neck.
Proverbs 3:23	Then you will walk your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble.
Proverbs 3:24	If you lie down, you will not dread; and you have lain down, and your sleep shall be pleasant.
Proverbs 3:25	Do not be afraid from sudden dread, and from the desolation of the wicked when it comes.
Proverbs 3:26	For YHWH is at your flank, and He will guard your foot from capture.
Proverbs 3:27	Do not withhold good from its owners, with it being in the power of your hand to act.
Proverbs 3:28	You must not say to your neighbor, “Go and return, and tomorrow I will give”—and it is with you.
Proverbs 3:29	Do not devise evil against your neighbor, for he is dwelling in trust with you.
Proverbs 3:30	Do not strive with a man without cause, if he has not dealt with you [for] evil.
Proverbs 3:31	Do not be envious of a man of violence, and do not choose any of his ways.
Proverbs 3:32	For a perverse one [is] an abomination [to] YHWH, and with the upright [is] His secret counsel.
Proverbs 3:33	The curse of YHWH [is] on the house of the wicked one, but the abode of the righteous He blesses.
Proverbs 3:34	If He mocks at those mocking, then He gives favor to the humble.
Proverbs 3:35	The wise will inherit honor, and fools are held up [to] disgrace.
Proverbs 4:1	Hear, [my] sons, the discipline of a father, and pay attention to know understanding.
Proverbs 4:2	For good teaching I have given to you⁺; do not forsake my instruction.
Proverbs 4:3	For I was a son to my father, tender and the only one before the face of my mother,
Proverbs 4:4	and he instructed me and said to me, “Let your heart take hold of my words; keep my commands, and live.
Proverbs 4:5	Acquire wisdom; acquire understanding! Do not forget and do not bend away from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 4:6	Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you; love her, and she will guard you.
Proverbs 4:7	The first [thing] [is] wisdom; acquire wisdom, and in all your acquiring, acquire understanding.
Proverbs 4:8	Lift her up, and she will exalt you; she will bring you honor when you embrace her.
Proverbs 4:9	She will give to your head a wreath of grace; a crown of beauty she will deliver to you.”
Proverbs 4:10	Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, and the years of life will be multiplied for you.
Proverbs 4:11	In the way of wisdom I have instructed you; I have made you step in paths of uprightness.
Proverbs 4:12	In your walking, your steps will not be restricted; and when you run, you will not stumble.
Proverbs 4:13	Hold on to instruction; do not let go; Guard her, for she [is] your life.
Proverbs 4:14	Do not enter into the path of the wicked ones, and do not walk in the way of evil ones.
Proverbs 4:15	Avoid it! Do not pass onto it; turn aside from it and pass by.
Proverbs 4:16	For they cannot sleep if they have not done evil; and their sleep is stolen if they do not they cause stumbling.
Proverbs 4:17	Indeed, they eat the bread of wickedness; they drink the wine of violence.
Proverbs 4:18	But the path of the righteous is like the light of brightness, and shining and going forth, until the day is established.
Proverbs 4:19	The way of the wicked [is] like the darkness—they do not know over what they stumble.
Proverbs 4:20	My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
Proverbs 4:21	Do not let them depart from your eyes—keep them in the midst of your heart.
Proverbs 4:22	For they [are] life to those finding them, and to all his flesh healing.
Proverbs 4:23	With all diligence, guard your heart, for from it [are] the outgoings of life.
Proverbs 4:24	Turn away from you the crookedness of the mouth, and perverse lips put far from you.
Proverbs 4:25	Your eyes should look forward, and your eyelids keep straight before you.
Proverbs 4:26	Make level the path for your feet, and all your ways shall be established.
Proverbs 4:27	Do not bend away to the right or the left; turn aside your foot from evil.
Proverbs 5:1	My son, pay attention to my wisdom, [and] to my understanding incline your ear,
Proverbs 5:2	to keep discretion, and [that] your lips may guard knowledge.
Proverbs 5:3	For the lips of the forbidden woman drip honey, and smoother than oil [is] her palate;
Proverbs 5:4	but her end [is] bitter as wormwood, sharp [with] mouths as a sword.
Proverbs 5:5	Her feet go down to death; her steps lay hold of sheol.
Proverbs 5:6	The path of life she does not weigh; her tracks are unstable; she does not know [it].
Proverbs 5:7	And now, sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs 5:8	Keep your path far away from her, and do not go near to the opening of her house,
Proverbs 5:9	lest you give to others your splendor, and your years to a cruel one;
Proverbs 5:10	lest strangers be satisfied [by] your strength, and your labors [be] in the house of a foreigner;
Proverbs 5:11	and you groan at your end, in the consumption of your flesh and your body,
Proverbs 5:12	and you say, “How I hated discipline, and my heart spurned rebuke!
Proverbs 5:13	And I have not listened to the voice of my instructors, and I have not inclined my ear to those teaching me.
Proverbs 5:14	Am I as a little from all evil, in the midst of the assembly and the gathering.”
Proverbs 5:15	Drink water from your own cistern and flowing from the midst of your own well.
Proverbs 5:16	Should your fountains be dispersed outside, channels of water in broad places?
Proverbs 5:17	Let them be for you, yourself alone, and not for strangers with you.
Proverbs 5:18	Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
Proverbs 5:19	A loving doe and a graceful deer, let her breasts satisfy you at all times—may you wander in her love continually!
Proverbs 5:20	So why do you wander, my son, with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a foreign woman?
Proverbs 5:21	For the ways of man [are] in front of the eyes of YHWH, and all his paths He weighs.
Proverbs 5:22	His own iniquities capture a wicked one, and he is held with the cords of his sin.
Proverbs 5:23	He shall die for lack of discipline, and in the abundance of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbs 6:1	My son, if you have been surety for your neighbor, [or] have struck your hand for the stranger,
Proverbs 6:2	[or] have been lured by the words of your mouth, captured by the words of your mouth,
Proverbs 6:3	then you must do this my son, and deliver yourself, for you have come into the palm of your neighbor: Go humble yourself, and press your neighbor.
Proverbs 6:4	You should not give sleep to your eyes or slumber to your eyelids—
Proverbs 6:5	snatch yourself like a gazelle from the hand, and like a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Proverbs 6:6	Go to the ant, O sluggish one; see her ways and become wise:
Proverbs 6:7	Which there is not unto her a chief, an official, or ruler,
Proverbs 6:8	she prepares her bread in summer, she has gathered her food in the harvest.
Proverbs 6:9	Until when, O sluggish one, will you slumber? When will you rise from your sleep?
Proverbs 6:10	A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down,
Proverbs 6:11	and your poverty comes like one walking, and your need like a man of shield.
Proverbs 6:12	A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, is walking [with] crookedness of mouth,
Proverbs 6:13	winking with his eyes, speaking with his foot, pointing with his fingers,
Proverbs 6:14	[with] perversity in his heart, plotting evil; at every time he sends forth strife.
Proverbs 6:15	Upon thus his calamity shall come suddenly; in an instant he will be shattered, and without healing.
Proverbs 6:16	These six [things] YHWH hates, and seven [are] an abomination to His soul:
Proverbs 6:17	Eyes raised high, a tongue of falsehood, and hands pouring out innocent blood,
Proverbs 6:18	a heart devising plans of iniquity, feet hurrying to run toward evil,
Proverbs 6:19	one breathing out lies, a witness of falsehood, and one sending forth contentions between brothers.
Proverbs 6:20	Keep, my son, the command of your father, and do not forsake the instruction of your mother.
Proverbs 6:21	Bind them upon your heart continually; tie them around your neck.
Proverbs 6:22	In your going about, it will lead you; in your lying down, it will guard you; when you awake, it will speak with you.
Proverbs 6:23	For the command [is] a lamp, and the instruction a light, and the reproofs of discipline are the way to life,
Proverbs 6:24	to guard you from the woman of evil, from the smoothness of the tongue of a strange woman.

Ecclesiastes 2:13	And I saw that there is profit to wisdom above folly, like the profit of the light over the darkness.
Ecclesiastes 2:14	The wise one, his eyes [are] in his head, and the fool is walking in the darkness. And I also knew of that event—the one that happens to all of them.
Ecclesiastes 2:15	And I said in my heart, “As it happens to the fool, it will also happen to me. Then what [is] profit to me [in] being wise?” And I said in my heart, “This also [is] vapor.”
Ecclesiastes 2:16	For there is no memory of the wise with the fool, forever, in that already in the days that are coming all will be forgotten. And how a wise one will die like the fool!
Ecclesiastes 2:17	And I have hated this life, because the work [was] evil to me that was done under the sun—for all [is] vapor and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 2:18	And I hated all my toil that I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.
Ecclesiastes 2:19	And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? And he will rule over all my toil that I have toiled, and that I have done wisely, under the sun. This also [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 2:20	And I turned around my heart to despair over all the toil that I have toiled under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:21	For there is a man whose toil [is] with wisdom and with knowledge and with skill, and to a man not having toiled for it he must give his portion. This also [is] vapor and a great evil.
Ecclesiastes 2:22	For what has been for the man for all his toil and for the striving of his heart, with which he toils under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 2:23	For all his days are pains, and anger [is] his task; even in the night his heart will not find rest. This also is vapor.
Ecclesiastes 2:24	Nothing [is] better for the man than to eat and drink, and his soul to see good in his toil. This also I saw, that it [is] from the hand of God;
Ecclesiastes 2:25	for who can eat, and who can enjoy, apart from Him?
Ecclesiastes 2:26	For to the man who [is] good in His eyes, He gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; and to the sinner He gives the task to gather and to heap up, to give to the good before the face of God. This also [is] vapor, and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 3:1	To everything [there is] a season, and a time for every [thing] desired under the heavens:
Ecclesiastes 3:2	A time to give birth and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up the planted,
Ecclesiastes 3:3	a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up,
Ecclesiastes 3:4	a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
Ecclesiastes 3:5	a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
Ecclesiastes 3:6	a time to seek and a time to lose, a time to keep and a time to cast away,
Ecclesiastes 3:7	a time to tear and a time to sew, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
Ecclesiastes 3:8	a time to love and a time to hate, a time of war and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:9	What [is] the profit of the one making in that which he toils?
Ecclesiastes 3:10	I have seen the task that God has given to the sons of man, to be occupied with it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11	He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also eternity put in their heart, without which a man cannot find out the work that God has done from beginning even to end.
Ecclesiastes 3:12	I know that there is nothing good for them, but than to rejoice and to do good during their lives,
Ecclesiastes 3:13	and also [that] every man should eat and drink and see good in all his toil—it [is] a gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:14	I know that everything that God does, it will be forever; to it nothing can be added, and from it nothing can be diminished; and God has done [it] that they should fear from before His face.
Ecclesiastes 3:15	That which has been already, it [is]; and that which is to be, it has already been—and God requires that which is pursued.
Ecclesiastes 3:16	And again I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there [was] wickedness, and [in] the place of righteousness, there [was] wickedness.
Ecclesiastes 3:17	I said in my heart, “The righteous and the wicked, God will judge, because a time [is] to every activity, and for every work there.”
Ecclesiastes 3:18	I said in my heart concerning the manner of the sons of man, “God [is] testing them, that they might see that they [are] beasts—they themselves.”
Ecclesiastes 3:19	For an event [is to] the sons of man, and an event [is to] the beasts, one [is] and an event for them: As the death of this one, so [is] the death of this one; and one breath [is] to all, and the advantage of the man over the beast [is] nothing—for all [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 3:20	All are going to one place; all are from the dust, and all return to the dust.
Ecclesiastes 3:21	Who knows [if] the spirit of the sons of man, it is ascending upward, and the spirit of the beast, it is desending downward into the earth?
Ecclesiastes 3:22	And I saw that nothing [is] better than that the man should rejoice in his own works, for that [is] his portion. For who can bring him to see what will come after him?
Ecclesiastes 4:1	And I turned, and I saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun, and behold, the tears of the oppressed, and no one [is] comforting to them—while from the hand of those oppressing them [is] strength, and no one [is] comforting to them.
Ecclesiastes 4:2	I—and I praised those who were dead, who already had died, above the living who are still alive;
Ecclesiastes 4:3	and better than both [is] the one who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun!
Ecclesiastes 4:4	I—and I have seen all the toil and every skillful deed, that it was the envy of each man from his neighbor. This also [is] vapor and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:5	The fool is folding his hands and is eating his own flesh.
Ecclesiastes 4:6	Better the fullness of palm [with] quietness than the fullness of two palms [with] toil and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 4:7	And I turned, and I saw a vapor under the sun:
Ecclesiastes 4:8	There is one, and there is not a second—there is not even a son or brother for him—and there is not end to all his toils; and his eye is not satisfied with wealth: “For whom [am] I toiling and depriving my soul of good?” This also [is] vapor, and it [is] a task of evil.
Ecclesiastes 4:9	Two [are] better than the one, because there is for them a good wage for their toil;
Ecclesiastes 4:10	for if they fall, the one raises up his companion—and woe to him, the one who falls, and there is not a second to raise him up!
Ecclesiastes 4:11	Also, if two lie down, then there is warmth for them; but for one, how can he keep warm?
Ecclesiastes 4:12	And though one may be overpowered, the two can stand against him; and a threefold cord cannot quickly be broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:13	Better a youth poor and wise than a king old and foolish, who does not know to be warned anymore.
Ecclesiastes 4:14	For from the house of bondage he came to be king, for even in his kingdom he was born poor.
Ecclesiastes 4:15	I saw all the living who are walking under the sun, with the second youth who stands in his place.
Ecclesiastes 4:16	[There is] no end to all the people, to all who were before their faces, yet those coming after will not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vapor and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 5:1	Guard your feet when you walk to the house of God; and drawing near to listen [is] above giving the sacrifice of fools, for there are none of them knowing they do evil.
Ecclesiastes 5:2	Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart hurry to bring out a word before the face of God; for God [is] in the heavens, and you [are] upon the earth—upon thus, let your words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:3	For [as] a dream comes with an abundance of business, so the voice of a fool with an abundance of words.
Ecclesiastes 5:4	When you vow a vow to God, you should not delay to fulfill it, for [there is] no delight in fools. What you have vowed, you must fulfill.
Ecclesiastes 5:5	Better that you did not vow, than that you vow and not fulfill [it].
Ecclesiastes 5:6	Do not give your mouth to cause your flesh to sin, and do not say before the face of the messenger that it [was] an error. Why should God be angry concerning your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
Ecclesiastes 5:7	For in an abundance of dreams, vapors and words abound, but you must fear God.
Ecclesiastes 5:8	If you see the oppression of the poor and the robbing of justice and righteousness in a province, you should not be astonished concerning the matter, for one higher is watching over a high one, and higher ones over them.
Ecclesiastes 5:9	And the produce of the land, it [is] for all: A king is served by the field.
Ecclesiastes 5:10	The one loving silver will not be satisfied with silver, and he who loves increase not [with] increase. This also [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 5:11	In the multiplying of good those devouring it are multiplied; and what profit [is] for its owners, but the beholding with his eyes?
Ecclesiastes 5:12	Sweet [is] the sleep of the one working, whether he eats little or much; but the satsifaction of the rich one will not allow rest for him to sleep.
Ecclesiastes 5:13	There is a sickening evil I have seen under the sun: Riches guarded for their owner, to his harm,
Ecclesiastes 5:14	and that wealth perished in a business of evil, and he begets a son, and [there is] not anything in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:15	As he came forth from the womb of his mother naked, shall he return, to go as he came, and he shall carry nothing for his toil to go in his hand.
Ecclesiastes 5:16	And this also [is] a sickening evil: Exactly as, he came, so shall he go, and what profit [is] for him who has toiled for the wind?
Ecclesiastes 5:17	Even all his days he will eat in darkness, and having sorrow abounding, and sickness and anger.
Ecclesiastes 5:18	Behold what I have seen [to be] good, that which [is] beautiful: To eat and to drink and to see good in all his toil that he toils under the sun all the days his life that God has given to him, for it [is] his portion.
Ecclesiastes 5:19	Also every man [for] whom God has given to him riches and wealth, and given him power to eat from it and to receive his portion and to rejoice in his toil—this, it [is] a gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 5:20	For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God occupies him with the joy of his heart.
Ecclesiastes 6:1	There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it [is] great upon mankind:
Ecclesiastes 6:2	A man [for] whom God has given to him riches and wealth and honor, and he has no lack for his soul from all that; he desires and God does not give him power to eat from it; instead a foreign man eats it. This [is] vapor, and it [is] a sickening evil.
Ecclesiastes 6:3	If a man begets a hundred and lives many years, and many are the days of his years, and his soul is not satisfied from this goodness, and also not is unto him a grave, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.
Ecclesiastes 6:4	For in vapor he comes, and in darkness he goes, and in darkness his name is covered.
Ecclesiastes 6:5	Even he has not seen the sun and has not known it, more rest [is] unto this one than this one.
Ecclesiastes 6:6	And though he might live a thousand years twice over, and has not seen goodness, are not all are going to one place?
Ecclesiastes 6:7	All the toil of man [is] for his mouth, yet the soul is not filled.
Ecclesiastes 6:8	Indeed, what advantage [is] for the wise one over the fool? What [is] to the poor one knowing how to walk before the living?
Ecclesiastes 6:9	Better is a sight of the eyes than the wandering of the soul; this also [is] vapor and a striving after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 6:10	That which has come to be, already its name has been called; and it is known that he [is] man, and he is not able to contend with one stronger than he.
Ecclesiastes 6:11	For there are many words, multiplying vapor—what advantage [is] for man?
Ecclesiastes 6:12	For who knows what [is] good for man in life all the days of the life of his vapor, and he makes them like a shadow? For who can declare to man what will come to be after him under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 7:1	A good name [is finer] than good ointment, and the day of [one’s] death than the day he was born.
Ecclesiastes 7:2	Better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for this [is] the end of all men, and the one living will give [it] to his heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:3	Better [is] sorrow than laughter, for by the sadness of the face, the heart is made good.
Ecclesiastes 7:4	The heart of the wise [is] in a house of mourning, and the heart of fools [is] in a house of gladness.
Ecclesiastes 7:5	Better to hear the rebuke of a wise one, than hearing a song of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:6	For like the sound of thorns under the pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool; and also this [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 7:7	Surely oppression drives a wise one to madness, and a bribe destroys the heart.
Ecclesiastes 7:8	Better the end of a thing than its beginning; better one long of spirit than one high of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 7:9	Do not hurry in your spirit to become angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.
Ecclesiastes 7:10	Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?” For [it is] not from wisdom [that] you ask about this.
Ecclesiastes 7:11	Wisdom [is] good, with an inheritance, and profitable for those seeing the sun.
Ecclesiastes 7:12	For in the shadow of wisdom [is as] in the shadow of silver, and the advantage of knowledge [is] that wisdom keeps alive her owners.
Ecclesiastes 7:13	See the work of God, for who is able to make straight what He has made crooked?
Ecclesiastes 7:14	In a day of prosperity, be in gladness, and in a day of evil, see also: This as well as this, God has made, for the reason that man cannot find out anything after him.
Ecclesiastes 7:15	All I have seen in the days of my vapor: There is a righteous one perishing in his righteousness, and there is a wicked one living long in his wickedness.
Ecclesiastes 7:16	Do not be overly righteous, and not overly wise yourself—why should you be desolate?
Ecclesiastes 7:17	Do not be overly wicked, and do not be a fool—why should you die in [what is] not your time?
Ecclesiastes 7:18	[It is] good that you should take hold of this, and also not loosen your hand from this; for the one who fears God will go forth from them all.
Ecclesiastes 7:19	Wisdom gives more strength to the wise one than ten rulers who are in a city.
Ecclesiastes 7:20	For [there is] not a righteous man on the earth who does good and does not sin.
Ecclesiastes 7:21	Also, for all words that they might speak, do not give your heart, that you may not hear your servant belittling you.
Ecclesiastes 7:22	For many times also your own heart has known that you also have belitted others.
Ecclesiastes 7:23	All this I have tested by wisdom; I have said, “I shall be wise,” and it [was] far from me.
Ecclesiastes 7:24	Far off [is] that which has been, and very deep—who can find it out?
Ecclesiastes 7:25	I also turned my heart to know, and to search out, and to seek wisdom and reason, and to know the evil of foolishness and the folly of madness.
Ecclesiastes 7:26	And I am finding more bitter than death the woman who, she [is] a snare and her heart [is] a net; her hands [are] bonds; The one who is good before the face of God escapes from her, and the one sinning will be captured by her.
Ecclesiastes 7:27	Behold, this I have found, says Qoheleth, one to one to find out the reason—
Ecclesiastes 7:28	that which my soul still has sought, and I have not found: One man from a thousand have I found, and a woman among all these I have not found.
Ecclesiastes 7:29	See, this alone I have found: That God made man upright, and they have sought out many schemes.
Ecclesiastes 8:1	Who [is] like the wise one, and who knows the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of a man makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.
Ecclesiastes 8:2	I [say]: The mouth of a king you must keep, even for the sake of the oath of God.
Ecclesiastes 8:3	Do not hurry [to] depart from his face; do not stand in an evil matter, for all that he delights in, he will do.
Ecclesiastes 8:4	Where the word of a king [is], power [is], and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”
Ecclesiastes 8:5	The one guarding a command will not know an evil thing, and the heart of a wise one knows a time and a judgment.
Ecclesiastes 8:6	For to every delight there is a time and a judgment, though the misery of man is great upon him.
Ecclesiastes 8:7	Indeed, he is not knowing what will happen; for when it will be, who can declare [it] to him?
Ecclesiastes 8:8	No man [is] masterful over the wind to restrain the wind, and no one [has] mastery over the day of [his] death. And [there is] no discharge in the battle, and wickedness will not deliver its possessors.
Ecclesiastes 8:9	All this I have seen, so as to give my heart to every work that is done the under sun; a time that man has ruled over man, for evil unto himself.
Ecclesiastes 8:10	And in this I have seen the wicked ones being buried, and they went in, even from the place of holiness they walked, and they were praised in the city where thus they had done. This also [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 8:11	Because an edict is not made [on] the evil work swiftly, upon thus the heart of the sons of man is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecclesiastes 8:12	Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and it is prolonged to him still, surely I know that there is good for those fearing God, who fear from before His face.
Ecclesiastes 8:13	But it shall not be good for the wicked, and he will not prolong the days like a shadow, because he is not fearing before the face of God.
Ecclesiastes 8:14	There is a vapor that occurs on the earth: That there are righteous ones for whom it touches them according to the work of the wicked, and there are wicked for whom it touches them according to the work of the righteous. I have said this also [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 8:15	And I have praised the enjoyment, because nothing [is] good for a man under the sun, except than to eat and to drink and to be joyful, for only this will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life that God has given to him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 8:16	When I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to see the task that is done on earth—for even he is not seeing sleep with his eyes in the day and in the night—
Ecclesiastes 8:17	and I saw all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that is done under the sun in that to which man might toil to seek [it], and he will not find [it]; and even though the wise one claims to know [it], he is not able to find [it].
Ecclesiastes 9:1	Indeed, all this I gave to my heart, in order to examine all this, that the righteous and the wise and their work are in the hand of God. Even love, even hatred—man does not know all that [is] before their faces.
Ecclesiastes 9:2	All [is] as for all: One event [is] to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good [and to the bad], and to the clean and to the unclean, and to the one sacrificing and to the one who is not sacrificing; as [is] the good one, so [is] the sinner, the one swearing an oath as the one refusing an oath.
Ecclesiastes 9:3	This [is] an evil in all that is done under the sun: That one event [is] to all, and also [that] the heart of the sons of man is full of evil; and madness [is] in their hearts while they live, and afterward to the dead.
Ecclesiastes 9:4	For whoever that is joined to all the living, there is hope, for a living dog is better than a lion that is dead;
Ecclesiastes 9:5	for the living know that they will die, and the dead cannot know anything, and there is not anymore for them a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecclesiastes 9:6	Also their love and their hatred and their jealousy already have perished, and there is not unto them anymore a portion forever in all that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:7	Go, eat your bread with gladness, and drink your wine with a good heart, for already God has accepted your works.
Ecclesiastes 9:8	At every time, let your garments be white, and let oil not be lacking upon your head.
Ecclesiastes 9:9	See life with a wife whom you have loved, all the days of the life of your vapor, which He has given to you under the sun—all your days of vapor—for that [is] your portion in this life, and in the toil by which you toil under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 9:10	All that your hand finds to do, with your strength you must do [it], for [there is] no work or plan or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, there where you are going.
Ecclesiastes 9:11	I returned and saw under the sun how the race [is] not to the swift, and the battle not to the strong, and bread not to the wise, and wealth not to the discerning, and favor not to the skillful. For time and chance will happen to them all.
Ecclesiastes 9:12	For even the man does not know his time; like the fish taken in a cruel net, and like the birds that are grabbed by the snare, so for them: The sons of men [are] snared in an evil time, when it falls upon them suddenly.
Ecclesiastes 9:13	This also I have seen [as] wisdom under the sun, and it [was] great to me:
Ecclesiastes 9:14	A city [was] small, and few men in it; and a great king came against it, and he besieged it and built great siege ramps against it.
Ecclesiastes 9:15	And there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom. And mankind has not remembered that poor man.
Ecclesiastes 9:16	And I said, “Better [is] wisdom than might, and the wisdom of the poor one is despised, and his words are not heard.”
Ecclesiastes 9:17	The words of the wise are heeded in quiet over the shout of a ruler among fools.
Ecclesiastes 9:18	Better wisdom than weapons of war, and one sinner can destroy much good.
Ecclesiastes 10:1	Dead flies rising up [in] the ointment of a perfumer give a stench; a little folly is heavier than wisdom and honor.
Ecclesiastes 10:2	The heart of a wise one [is] to his right, and the heart of a fool to his left.
Ecclesiastes 10:3	And even in a fool walking along the way, his heart is lacking, and he shows to everyone [that] he [is] a fool.
Ecclesiastes 10:4	If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, you should not leave your station, for calmness puts to rest great sins.
Ecclesiastes 10:5	There is an evil I have seen under the sun, as an error that goes forth from before the face of the ruler:
Ecclesiastes 10:6	He has set a fool in many high places, and the rich ones sit in the lowly place.
Ecclesiastes 10:7	I have seen slaves on horses, and princes walking like slaves on the earth.
Ecclesiastes 10:8	The one digging a pit will fall into it; and one breaking through a wall, a snake will bite him.
Ecclesiastes 10:9	The one pulling out stones will be hurt by them; the one splitting trees endangers himself by them.
Ecclesiastes 10:10	If the iron has been blunt, and he has not sharpened the edge, then he must exert strength; and wisdom [is] an advantage to being successful.
Ecclesiastes 10:11	If the snake bites without a charm, then there is no advantage for the master of the tongue.
Ecclesiastes 10:12	The words of the mouth of a wise one [are] favor, and the lips of a fool will swallow him up—
Ecclesiastes 10:13	the beginning of the words of his mouth [is] folly, and the end of his mouth [is] evil madness.
Ecclesiastes 10:14	And the fool multiplies words. Man does not know what will come to be, and of what will come to be after him, who can declare [it] to him?
Ecclesiastes 10:15	The toil of fools wearies him, for he does not know the way to the city.
Ecclesiastes 10:16	Woe to you, O land, that your king is a youth, and your princes feast in the morning!
Ecclesiastes 10:17	Blessed [are] you, O land, that your king [is] a son of nobles, and your princes feast in due season—for strength and not for drunkenness!
Ecclesiastes 10:18	By laziness, the rafter is made to sink, and by idleness of hands, the house leaks.
Ecclesiastes 10:19	Bread is made for laughter, and wine makes life merry—and the silver is the answer to all.
Ecclesiastes 10:20	Even in your thought you must not belittle the king, and in the chambers of your bed do not belittle the rich, for a bird of the heavens may carry along your voice, and a possessor of wings may declare the word.
Ecclesiastes 11:1	Send out your bread on the face of the waters, for in many days you will find it.
Ecclesiastes 11:2	Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, for you do not know what evil may come to be on the earth.
Ecclesiastes 11:3	If the clouds are full of rain, they will pour out upon the earth; and if a tree falls in the south or in the north, [at] the place where the tree falls, there it will be.
Ecclesiastes 11:4	The one watching the wind will not sow, and one looking at the clouds will not reap.
Ecclesiastes 11:5	As you do not know what [is] the way of the wind, as the bones in the womb of the full [woman], so you do not know the works of God, who makes everything.
Ecclesiastes 11:6	In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand, for you do not you know whether this one will prosper—this one or this one, or whether the two of them alike [are] good.
Ecclesiastes 11:7	The light also [is] sweet, and [it is] good for the eyes to see the sun.
Ecclesiastes 11:8	For if the man lives many years, let him be glad in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many—all that is coming [is] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 11:9	Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart be made glad in the days of your youth. And walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes, and know that for all these [things] God will bring you into the judgment.
Ecclesiastes 11:10	And remove anger from your heart, and make evil pass from your flesh, for youth and black hair [are] vapor.
Ecclesiastes 12:1	And remember your Creator in the days of your youth, while the days of evil have not come, and the years have drawn near when you say, “No delight for me [is] in them!”
Ecclesiastes 12:2	While that the sun is not darkened, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, and the clouds return after the rain,
Ecclesiastes 12:3	in the day the guards of the house tremble, and the men of strength bow down, and those gridning cease because they are few, and those looking out through the windows grow dim,
Ecclesiastes 12:4	and the doors are shut in the streets, and the sound of the grinding becomes low, and one rises up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of the song are bent low—
Ecclesiastes 12:5	they are afraid even from height and terrors in the way; for the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper carries itself along and the caper berry breaks off, because man is going to his eternal home, and those mourning go around in the street—
Ecclesiastes 12:6	while the cord of silver is not snapped or the bowl of gold broken or the pitcher shattered at the fountain or the wheel crushed at the well,
Ecclesiastes 12:7	and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:8	“Vapor of vapors,” says the Qoheleth; “All [is] vapor!”
Ecclesiastes 12:9	And further, Qoheleth, being wise, also did he teach the people knowledge, and he pondered, and he searched, [and] he arranged many proverbs.
Ecclesiastes 12:10	Qoheleth sought to find words of delight and to record uprightly—words of truth.
Ecclesiastes 12:11	The words of the wise [are] like goads, and like nails implanted [by] the masters of collections, given by one Shepherd.
Ecclesiastes 12:12	And further, by these my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is no end, and much study is weariness to the flesh.
Ecclesiastes 12:13	The conclusion of the whole of matter has been heard. You shall fear God and keep His commandments—for this [is] [is] the whole of the man.
Ecclesiastes 12:14	For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
Song of Solomon 1:1	The Song of Songs that [is] of Solomon.
Song of Solomon 1:2	Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love [is] better than wine.
Song of Solomon 1:3	Your oils [are] good for fragrance; your name [is] oil poured out; upon thus the maidens love you.
Song of Solomon 1:4	Draw me after you, let us run! The king has brought me [into] his chambers. We will rejoice and will be glad in you; we will cause your love to be remembered more than wine; rightly do they love you.
Song of Solomon 1:5	Black [am] I, and lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
Song of Solomon 1:6	Do not look at me because I [am] black, [for] the sun has gazed upon me. The sons of my mother were hot with me; they set me keeping the vineyards; my own vineyard I have not kept.
Song of Solomon 1:7	Declare to me, O one my soul loves, where do you pasture, where do you let them rest at midday? For why should I be as one veiling herself [to go] alongside the flocks of your companions?
Song of Solomon 1:8	If you do not know [it] for yourself, O fairest among the women, go forth yourself in the tracks of the flock, and pasture your young goats beside the tents of the shepherds.

Song of Solomon 1:17	The beams of our house [are] cedars, our rafters [are] firs.
Song of Solomon 2:1	I [am] a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
Song of Solomon 2:2	Like a lily among the thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon 2:3	Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, so [is] my beloved among the sons; in his shade I have delighted and sat down, and his fruit [is] sweet to my palate.
Song of Solomon 2:4	He has brought me to the house of wine, and his banner over me [was] love.
Song of Solomon 2:5	Sustain me with raisin-cakes, refresh me with apples—for I [am] sick with love.
Song of Solomon 2:6	His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
Song of Solomon 2:7	I adjure you⁺, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the does of the field—do not arouse or awaken love, until it pleases.

Song of Solomon 2:11	For, behold, the winter has passed by; the rain has passed; it has gone itself.
Song of Solomon 2:12	The blossoms have appeared in the land, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land;
Song of Solomon 2:13	the fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines [in] blossom have given forth the fragrance. Arise, come my darling, my beautiful one, and come away yourself!”
Song of Solomon 2:14	O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevices of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice [is] sweet and your appearance [is] lovely.
Song of Solomon 2:15	Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes ruining the vineyards, and our vineyards [are] in blossom.
Song of Solomon 2:16	My beloved [is] unto me and I unto him; he is grazing among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 2:17	Until the day breathes and the shadows flee, may you turn and be likened yourself, my beloved, to a gazelle or to a young stag of the deer, upon the mountains of Bether.
Song of Solomon 3:1	On my bed in the night I sought him whom my soul loves; I sought him, and I did not find him.
Song of Solomon 3:2	Now I will rise and go about the city, in the streets and in the broad places; I will seek the one whom my soul loves. I sought him, and I did not find him.
Song of Solomon 3:3	The guards found me in [their] going round about the city. “The one my soul loves, have you⁺ seen [him]?”
Song of Solomon 3:4	Scarcely had I passed by them when I found the one my soul loves; I held him, and I would not let him go, until I had brought him to the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her who conceived me.
Song of Solomon 3:5	I adjure you⁺, O daughters of Jerusalem, by the gazelles or by the does of the field, do not arouse or awaken love, until it pleases.
Song of Solomon 3:6	Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, like pillars of smoke, scented with myrrh and frankincense, with all the fragrant powders of the merchant?
Song of Solomon 3:7	Behold, [it is] the couch of Solomon! Sixty mighty men [are] around it, the mighty ones of Israel.
Song of Solomon 3:8	All of them are grasping a sword, studied in warfare; each man [has] his sword upon his thigh, against the dread in the nights.
Song of Solomon 3:9	King Solomon has made a carriage for himself from the trees of the Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 3:10	Its pillars He has made of silver, its back of gold, its seat of purple; its midst is inlaid with love, by the daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon 3:11	Go forth and gaze, O daughters of Zion, at King Solomon, at the crown with which his mother crowned him on the day of his wedding, and on the day of the joy of his heart.
Song of Solomon 4:1	Behold, you [are] beautiful, my darling, behold, you [are] beautiful! Your eyes [are] doves behind your veil; your hair [is] like a flock of the goats streaming down from Mount Gilead.
Song of Solomon 4:2	Your teeth [are] like a flock shorn, having come up from the washing, all of which have twins, and there is not a bereaved one among them.
Song of Solomon 4:3	Like a thread of scarlet [are] your lips, and your mouth is lovely. Like the halves of the pomegranate [is] your temple, behind your veil.
Song of Solomon 4:4	Like the tower of David [is] your neck, built with rows of stones; a thousand shields hang on it, all the shields of the mighty ones.
Song of Solomon 4:5	Your two breasts [are] like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, grazing among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 4:6	Until the day breathes, and the shadows flee, I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
Song of Solomon 4:7	All of you [is] beautiful, my darling, and [there is] not a blemish on you.
Song of Solomon 4:8	Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon! Descend from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the dens of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.
Song of Solomon 4:9	You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captured my heart with one of your eyes, with one jewel of your neck.
Song of Solomon 4:10	How beautiful [is] your love, my sister, my bride! How much better [is] your love than wine, and the scent of your oils than all spices!
Song of Solomon 4:11	Your lips drip with nectar, my bride; honey and milk [are] under your tongue, and the fragrance of your garments [is] like the fragrance of Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 4:12	A garden locked up [is] my sister, my bride—a spring locked up, a fountain sealed.
Song of Solomon 4:13	Your shoots [are] an orchard of pomegranates, with the choicest of fruits, henna with nard,
Song of Solomon 4:14	nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all the finest spices,
Song of Solomon 4:15	a fountain of gardens, a well of living water, and flowing down from Lebanon.
Song of Solomon 4:16	Awake, north [wind], and come, south wind! Breathe on my garden, [that] its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat the fruit of its excellencies.
Song of Solomon 5:1	I have come to my garden, my sister, my bride; I have plucked my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink, and drink freely, O beloved ones!
Song of Solomon 5:2	I [was] asleep, and my heart was aroused. A sound! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. For my head is full of dew, my locks of the drops of the night.”
Song of Solomon 5:3	I have taken off my garment—how do I put it on? I have washed my feet—how do I soil them?
Song of Solomon 5:4	My beloved stretched out his hand to the latch, and my bowels murmered for him.
Song of Solomon 5:5	I arose to open up for my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers covered over with myrrh on the palms of the bolt.
Song of Solomon 5:6	I opened for my beloved, and my beloved had turned away [and] had gone! My heart went forth at his speaking. I sought him, and could not find him; I called [to] him, and he did not answer me.
Song of Solomon 5:7	The guards found me in [their] going round about the city. They struck me, they bruised me, the guards of the walls; they lifted my wrap from me.
Song of Solomon 5:8	I adjure you⁺, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you⁺ find my beloved, what you⁺ should declare to him: I [am] sick with love.
Song of Solomon 5:9	How [is] your beloved above [any] beloved, O beautiful one among the women? How [is] your beloved above [any] beloved, that thus you adjure us?
Song of Solomon 5:10	My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, distinguished above a myriad.
Song of Solomon 5:11	His head [is] gold, pure gold; his locks [are] wavy, black like the raven.
Song of Solomon 5:12	His eyes are] like doves beside channels of waters, washed with milk, sitting beside a full pool.
Song of Solomon 5:13	His cheeks [are] like a bed of spice, towers of perfume. His lips lilies, dripping with flowing myrrh.
Song of Solomon 5:14	His hands [are] rods of gold, set with beryl; his belly [is] a plate of ivory, covered with sapphires;
Song of Solomon 5:15	his legs [are] pillars of marble, set on bases of pure gold; his appearance [is] like the Lebanon, being excellent like the cedars.
Song of Solomon 5:16	His mouth [is] sweetness, and all of him [is] desireable. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!
Song of Solomon 6:1	Where has your beloved gone, O fairest among the women? Where has your beloved turned aside, that we may seek him with you?
Song of Solomon 6:2	My beloved has gone to his garden, to the beds of spice, to graze in the gardens and to gather up the lilies.
Song of Solomon 6:3	I [am] unto my beloved and my beloved [is] unto me; he is grazing among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 6:4	You [are] beautiful as Tirzah, my darling, lovely as Jerusalem, awesome as bannered hosts.
Song of Solomon 6:5	Turn away your eyes from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair [is] like a flock of the goats streaming down from the Gilead.
Song of Solomon 6:6	Your teeth [are] like a flock of ewes that have come up from the washing; each has its twin, and not a bereaved one [is] among them.
Song of Solomon 6:7	Like the halves of the pomegranate [is] your temple behind your veil.
Song of Solomon 6:8	Sixty [are] they, the queens, and eighty the concubines, and maidens without number.
Song of Solomon 6:9	One she [is], my dove, my perfect one; one she [is], pure for her mother, she who bore her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; and the queens and the concubines, they praised her.
Song of Solomon 6:10	Who [is] this one shining like the dawn, beautiful as the moon, pure as the sun, awesome as bannered hosts?
Song of Solomon 6:11	To the garden of the nut tree I went down, to look on the green of the valley, to see the vine had sprouted [and] the pomegranates had bloomed.
Song of Solomon 6:12	I did not know [it], my soul had set me [among] the chariots of my noble people.
Song of Solomon 6:13	Return, return, O Shulammite! Return, return, that we may gaze on you. Why should you⁺ gaze on the Shulammite as [on] the dance in of Mahanaim?
Song of Solomon 7:1	How beautiful [are] your feet in the sandals, O daughter of a noble! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of an artisan.
Song of Solomon 7:2	Your navel [is] a bowl of roundness—it is not lacking [in] mixed wine. Your belly [is] a mound of wheat, fenced around with the lilies.
Song of Solomon 7:3	Your two breasts [are] like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
Song of Solomon 7:4	Your neck [is] like a tower of ivory. Your eyes [are] the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-Rabbim. Your nose [is] like the tower of Lebanon, looking [to] the face of Damascus.
Song of Solomon 7:5	Your head [is] upon you like Carmel, and the hair of your head [is] like purple—a king is bound in the tresses!
Song of Solomon 7:6	How beautiful and how pleasant, O [my] love, in your delights!
Song of Solomon 7:7	This stature of yours is like a palm tree, and your breasts [are] like clusters of fruit.
Song of Solomon 7:8	I said, “I will go up on the palm [tree], I will grab hold of its boughs.” And may your breasts be now like the clusters of the vine, and the fragrance of your breath like the apples,
Song of Solomon 7:9	and your mouth like wine of the best. It is flowing to my beloved smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.
Song of Solomon 7:10	I [am] unto my beloved, and for me [is] his desire.
Song of Solomon 7:11	Come, my beloved, let us go forth to the field; let us spend the night among the wildflowers.
Song of Solomon 7:12	Let us go out early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has sprouted, [if] the blossoms have opened [and] the pomegranates have budded; there I will give my love to you.
Song of Solomon 7:13	The mandrakes give off a scent, and at our door is every delicacy, new and old, my beloved, which I have stored up for you.
Song of Solomon 8:1	Who will give you as a brother to me, one having nursed at the breasts of my mother! If I found you outside, I would kiss you; yes, no one would despise me.
Song of Solomon 8:2	I would lead you, I would bring you into the house of my mother, she who taught me; I would give you to drink from the wine of spice, from the juice of my pomegranate.
Song of Solomon 8:3	His left hand [is] under my head, and his right hand embraces me.
Song of Solomon 8:4	I adjure you⁺, O daughters of Jerusalem, why stir up and why awaken love until it pleases.
Song of Solomon 8:5	Who [is] this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you; there your mother conceived you; there she travailed and brought you forth.
Song of Solomon 8:6	Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm. For strong as death [is] love, cruel as Sheol [is] jealousy; its flames [are] flames of fire, a blazing flame.
Song of Solomon 8:7	Many waters are not able to quench love, and the rivers cannot wash it away. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, they would despise it [with great] despising.
Song of Solomon 8:8	A little sister [is] unto us, and breasts are not unto her. What shall we do for our sister, on the day one should speak for her?
Song of Solomon 8:9	If she [is] a wall, we will build upon her a tower of silver; and if she [is] a door, we will enclose her with a plank of cedar.
Song of Solomon 8:10	I [am] a wall, and my breasts [are] like towers. Then I have become in his eyes like one finding peace.
Song of Solomon 8:11	There was a vineyard unto Solomon in Baal-hamon. He gave out the vineyard to those keeping [it]; a man would bring for its fruit a thousand [pieces] of silver.
Song of Solomon 8:12	My vineyard [is]—my own—[is] before me; the thousand [is] unto you, O Solomon, and two hundred to those keeping watch over its fruit.
Song of Solomon 8:13	O [you] dwelling in the gardens, [my] companions are listening to your voice—let me hear it!
Song of Solomon 8:14	Flee, my beloved, and liken yourself to a gazelle, or to a young stag of the deer, on the mountains of spices.

Isaiah 5:4	What could have been done more for My vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why—I waited for [it] to make grapes—and it made wild grapes?
Isaiah 5:5	And now I will let you⁺ know what I am going to do to My vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be consumed [and] the breaking down of its wall, and it will be [free] for trampling.
Isaiah 5:6	And I will set it [as] a waste—it will not be pruned nor hoed, and there will come up brier and thorn; and also the clouds I will command against raining on it [with] rain.”
Isaiah 5:7	For the vineyard of YHWH of Hosts [is] the house of Israel, and the men of Judah [are] the plant of His delight; and He looked for justice, and behold, bloodshed—for righteousness, and behold, outcry.
Isaiah 5:8	Woe to those joining house to house; field to field they bring near, until [there is] no place to stand, and you⁺ are made to dwell by yourselves alone in the midst of the land!
Isaiah 5:9	In my hearing, YHWH of Hosts [says]: “Surely many houses will be a desolation—great and beautiful ones without one dwelling!
Isaiah 5:10	For a ten yoke vineyard will yield one bath, and a homer of seed will yield an ephah.
Isaiah 5:11	Woe [to those] rising early in the morning to pursue strong drink, tarrying into the twilight as wine inflames them!
Isaiah 5:12	Are the lyre [and] harp and tambourine, and flute and wine, are [at] their feasts; and the work of YHWH they do not regard, and the work of His hands they do not see.
Isaiah 5:13	Therefore my people have gone into captivity from lack of knowledge; and its honored men go hungry, and its multitude [is] parched with thirst.
Isaiah 5:14	Therefore Sheol has enlarged her soul and has opened her mouth beyond measure; her nobles will go down—and her crowd and her revelers and exulting—into her.
Isaiah 5:15	And mankind is bent down, and each man is brought low, and the eyes of the haughty will be brought down.
Isaiah 5:16	YHWH of Hosts will be exalted in justice, and the Holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
Isaiah 5:17	And the lambs will graze as [in] their pasture, and in the waste places of the fat ones, sojourners will eat.
Isaiah 5:18	Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of falsehood, and sin with a rope of the cart,
Isaiah 5:19	saying, “Let Him hurry, let Him hurry His work, that we may see [it]! Let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, that we may know [it]!”
Isaiah 5:20	Woe [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!
Isaiah 5:21	Woe [to] the wise ones in their own eyes, and before their own faces discerning.
Isaiah 5:22	Woe [to] the mighty at drinking wine and men of strength in mixing strong drink,
Isaiah 5:23	those declaring right the wicked for a bribe, and justice for the righteous ones they turn aside from him.
Isaiah 5:24	Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the chaff and the flame consumes the stubble, their root will be as rottenness, and their blossom will go up like dust, because they have rejected the instruction of YHWH of hosts, and the Word of the Holy One of Israel they have despised.
Isaiah 5:25	Thus the anger of YHWH burns against His people; and therefore He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them, and the hills trembled; and their carcasses became like refuse in the midst of the streets. In all this, His anger is not turned away, and still His hand is stretched out.
Isaiah 5:26	And He will lift up a signal for the nations from afar, and He will whistle to them from the end of the earth—and behold, swiftly with haste it will come!
Isaiah 5:27	No one will be weary nor stumbling among them; he will not will he slumber and not sleep, and not will be loosed the girdle of his loins, and not will be broken the strap of his sandals—
Isaiah 5:28	whose arrows [are] sharp, and all his bows bent; the hooves of his horses like flint are reckoned, and his wheels like a whirlwind.
Isaiah 5:29	The roaring of him [is] like a lion—he roars like the young lions, and growls and seizes prey and carries it away safely, and there is no one delivering.
Isaiah 5:30	And he will roar over it that on the day, like the roaring of the sea. And one looks over the land, and behold, darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened by its clouds.
Isaiah 6:1	And in the year of the death of King Uzziah, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne being high and lifted up, and his train was filling the temple.
Isaiah 6:2	Seraphim stood above Him, [with] six wings for each—six wings—with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Isaiah 6:3	And this one cried to this one and said: “Holy, holy, holy [is] YHWH of Hosts; the fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
Isaiah 6:4	And the posts of the doors were shaken from the voice of the one calling, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isaiah 6:5	And I said, “Woe to me, for I am finished! For I [am] a man of unclean lips, and I am dwelling in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for the King YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen!”
Isaiah 6:6	And flew to me one from the seraphim, and in his hand [was] a hot coal he had taken from the altar with tongs.
Isaiah 6:7	And he touched [it] upon my mouth and said, “Behold, this has touched upon your lips; and is turned aside your iniquity, and your sin is wiped away.”
Isaiah 6:8	And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom will I send, and who will go for Us?” And I said “Here [am] I—send me!”
Isaiah 6:9	And He said, “Go and say to the people this: ‘Be ever hearing and never understanding, and be ever seeing and never knowing.’
Isaiah 6:10	Fatten the heart of this people, and its ears make heavy and its eyes shut, lest it see with its eyes, hear and with its ears, and understand [with] its heart, and turn back and there be healing for it.
Isaiah 6:11	And I said, “Until when, O Lord?” And He answered, “Until when the cities lie in ruins without one dwelling, and the houses without man, and the land lies in ruins [as] a desolation,
Isaiah 6:12	and YHWH has removed man far away, and [are] many the forsaken places in the midst of the land.
Isaiah 6:13	And still [are] in it a tenth, and will it return and be for burning, like the terebinth and oak that in falling [is] a stump in them. The seed of holiness [is] its stump.”
Isaiah 7:1	And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] came up Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah son of Remaliah, king of Israel, [to] Jerusalem to war against it. He was not able to fight against it.
Isaiah 7:2	And it was declared to the house of David, saying, Aram has rested [itself] upon Ephraim. His heart and the heart of his people was shaken, as are shaken the trees of the forest from the face of the wind.
Isaiah 7:3	And YHWH said to Isaiah, “Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, toward the end of the conduit of the upper pool, toward the road of the Field of the Washer.
Isaiah 7:4	And say to him: Take heed and be quiet. Do not be afraid and do not be soft because of these two stubs of smoldering firebrands, with the burning of the anger of Rezin and Aram and the son of Remaliah,
Isaiah 7:5	because indeed Aram has plotted evil against you, [with] Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying,
Isaiah 7:6	‘Let us go up against Judah and treat it with contempt and split it apart unto ourselves, and in its midst we will make the son of Tabeal reign [as] king.’
Isaiah 7:7	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘It will not stand, and it will not come to pass.
Isaiah 7:8	For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, and within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
Isaiah 7:9	And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If you⁺ do not stand firm in faith, surely you⁺ will not stand firm.’”
Isaiah 7:10	And YHWH continued to speak to Ahaz, saying,
Isaiah 7:11	“Ask for yourself a sign from YHWH your God; make the request deep, or make it high above.”
Isaiah 7:12	And Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not test YHWH.”
Isaiah 7:13	And he said, “Hear now, O house of David: [Is it] a small thing for you⁺ to weary men, that you⁺ would also weary my God?
Isaiah 7:14	Therefore the Lord Himself will give to you⁺ a sign: Behold the virgin is conceiving and is bringing forth a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:15	Curds and honey he will eat, when he knows to refuse the evil and to choose the good.
Isaiah 7:16	For before the youth knows to reject the evil and to choose the good, the land that you dread will be forsaken because of the two of her kings.
Isaiah 7:17	YHWH will bring upon you and upon your people and upon the house of your father days that have not come since the day of the turning away of Ephraim from Judah—the king of Assyria!”
Isaiah 7:18	And it will come to pass in that day, that YHWH will whistle for the fly that [is] at the farthest of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
Isaiah 7:19	And they will come and all of them will rest in the desolate valleys and in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns and on all the watering holes.
Isaiah 7:20	In that day the Lord will shave with a razor that is hired—with those beyond the River, with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the legs and also the beard He will sweep away.
Isaiah 7:21	And it will come to pass in that day, [that] a man will keep alive a young cow of the herd and two sheep.
Isaiah 7:22	And it will come to pass from the abundance of producing milk, that he will eat curds—for everyone remaining in the midst of the land will eat curds and honey.
Isaiah 7:23	And it will come to pass in that day [that] there will be [in] every place where there are a thousand vines at a thousand of silver—there will be briers and thorns.
Isaiah 7:24	He comes there with arrows and with the bow, for all the land will become briers and thorns.
Isaiah 7:25	And all the hills that are kept in order with the hoe there, you will no longer go [for] fear of brier and thorn; and it will become for the sending forth of cattle and for the treading of sheep.
Isaiah 8:1	And YHWH said to me, “Take for yourself a large scroll and write on it with a pen of man: Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
Isaiah 8:2	And I will appoint for Myself faithful witnesses—Uriah the priest and Zechariah son of Jeberekiah.”
Isaiah 8:3	And I came near to the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth [to] a son. And YHWH said to me, “Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz—
Isaiah 8:4	for before the child knows to cry, ‘My father and My mother,’ one will lift away the wealth of Damascus and the plunder of Samaria before the face of the king of Assyria!”
Isaiah 8:5	And YHWH continued to speak to me again, saying,
Isaiah 8:6	“Because that this people has rejected the waters of Shiloah, those going gently, and are rejoicing with Rezin and the son of Remaliah,
Isaiah 8:7	therefore, behold! The Lord is bringing up over them the waters of the River mighty and great—the king of Assyria and all his glory—and it will go up over all its channels and it will go over all its banks,
Isaiah 8:8	and it will pass on into Judah, overflowing and passing over—reaching to the neck; and the stretching out of its wings and [is] the fullness of the breadth of your land, O Immanuel!
Isaiah 8:9	Join together, O peoples, and be shattered! And give ear, all you distant lands—Gird yourselves and be shattered, gird yourselves and be shattered!
Isaiah 8:10	Take counsel—counsel—and it will be broken; speak a word; it will not stand, for God [is] with us.
Isaiah 8:11	For thus YHWH spoke to me, with a strong hand, and He admonished me from walking in the way of this people, saying:
Isaiah 8:12	“You⁺ shall not say conspiracy to everything that this people says [is] conspiracy; and its fear you⁺ should not fear, and you should not dread.
Isaiah 8:13	YHWH of Hosts—Him You⁺ shall sanctify, and He [is] your⁺ Fear, and He [is] your⁺ Dread.
Isaiah 8:14	And He be for a sanctuary, and for a stone of striking and for a rock of falling for the two houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare for those dwelling in Jerusalem!
Isaiah 8:15	And many will stumble over them, and they will fall and be broken and be snared and captured.”
Isaiah 8:16	Bind up the testimony, [and] seal the law among my disciples.
Isaiah 8:17	And I will wait for YHWH, the One hiding His face from the house of Jacob, and I will hope in Him.
Isaiah 8:18	Here [am] I and the children whom YHWH has given to me as signs and as wonders in Israel, from YHWH of Hosts, the One dwelling on Mount Zion.
Isaiah 8:19	And when they say to you⁺, “Seek after the spirits and after the spiritists who whisper and mutter—” a people should not seek after its gods, on behalf of the living unto the dead,
Isaiah 8:20	to the law and to the testimony?" If they do not speak this according to the word, [it is] because there is not in them dawn.
Isaiah 8:21	And he will pass over into it hard pressed and hungry, and it will be [that] when he is hungry and becomes angry, that he will think little of his king and of his gods, and he will turn upward,
Isaiah 8:22	and will look to the earth, and behold—distress and darkness, gloom of anguish, and he will be driven away [into] the dark.
Isaiah 9:1	But there is no gloom for the one who [is in] distress herself. In an earlier time He treated lightly the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward He will honor the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Isaiah 9:2	The people who are walking in the darkness have seen a great light; [for those] sitting in the land of the shadow of death, a light has shone upon them.
Isaiah 9:3	You have multiplied the nation. Have you not have increased the joy? They rejoice before Your face according to the joy of the harvest, like those who rejoice in dividing the plunder.
Isaiah 9:4	For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder—the rod of one pressing on him—You have broken as [on] the day of Midian.
Isaiah 9:5	For every boot treading with quaking, and the garment rolled in blood, will be for burning, as fuel for fire.
Isaiah 9:6	For a child has been born unto us, a son has been given unto us, and the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:7	Of the increase of [His] government and peace [will be] no end, over the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from now and even to forever. The zeal of YHWH of Hosts will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:8	YHWH has sent a word against Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel;
Isaiah 9:9	and the people will know all of it—Ephraim and the one dwelling in Samaria—in pride arrogance of heart they will say:
Isaiah 9:10	“The bricks have fallen down, and with hewn stone we will rebuild; the sycamores are cut down, and with cedars we will replace [them].”
Isaiah 9:11	And YHWH raises up the adversaries of Rezin against him and his enemies He joins together,
Isaiah 9:12	Aram from the east and Philistia from the west, and they will devour Israel with a whole mouth. In all this, His anger is not turned back and still His hand is stretched out.
Isaiah 9:13	And the people did not turn to the One striking it, and YHWH of Hosts they did not seek.
Isaiah 9:14	And YHWH will cut off from Israel the head and tail, palm branch and reed, in a single day.
Isaiah 9:15	The elder and the uplifted of face—he [is] the head; and the prophet teaching lies—he [is] the tail.
Isaiah 9:16	The guides for this people mislead them, and those they mislead are being swallowed up.
Isaiah 9:17	Upon thus YHWH does not rejoice in its young men, and [on] its fatherless and widows He has no compassion, for everyone [is] godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolishness. In all this His anger is not turned away and still His hand is stretched out.
Isaiah 9:18	For wickedness burns as the fire, and it will devour brier and thorn; and it is kindled in the thickets of the forest, and they mount up in a rising of smoke.
Isaiah 9:19	By the wrath of YHWH of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are fuel for the fire; a man has no pity upon his brother.
Isaiah 9:20	And one cuts down on the right, and is hungry, and he eats on the left, and they have not been satisfied; each man devours the flesh of his own arm.
Isaiah 9:21	Manasseh Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh—together they [are] against Judah. In all this His anger has not turned back, and still His hand is stretched out.
Isaiah 10:1	Woe [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity and writers writing perverseness,
Isaiah 10:2	to turn aside justness from the poor, and to tear away justice from the lowly of My people, that widows may be their prey, and fatherless their plunder!
Isaiah 10:3	And what will you⁺ do in the day of reckoning, and at the desolation [that] comes from afar? Upon whom will you⁺ flee for help, and where will you⁺ leave your⁺ wealth?
Isaiah 10:4	Nothing [remains] but to kneel down among the prisoners, and among the slain they will fall. In all this, His anger is not turned back and His hand is still stretched out.
Isaiah 10:5	Woe [to] Assyria, the rod of My anger, and the staff that [is] in their hand [is] My rage.
Isaiah 10:6	I will send him against a godless nation and I will order him against the people of My wrath, to plunder the plunder and to prey [on] the prey, and to set [them] for trampling like the clay of the streets.
Isaiah 10:7	And he does not consider [it] so, and his heart does not reckon [it] so, for to destroy [is] in his heart, and to cut off nations—not a few.
Isaiah 10:8	For he says: “Are not my princes all kings?
Isaiah 10:9	Or is not Calno like Carchemish? Or [is] not Hamath like Arpad? [Is] not Samaria like Damascus?
Isaiah 10:10	As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols and their graven images above those of Jerusalem and Samaria—
Isaiah 10:11	is it not [that] as I have done to Samaria and her idols, thus I will do to Jerusalem and her idols?’”
Isaiah 10:12	And it will come to pass, when YHWH has cut off all his work against Mount Zion and against Jerusalem: “I will reckon with the fruit of the magnitude of the heart of the king of Assyria and with the splendor of the loftiness of his eyes.
Isaiah 10:13	For he says, ‘By the power of my hand I have done [this], and by my own wisdom, for I have understanding; and I have removed the boundaries of the peoples, and their treasuries I have plundered; and I have brought down like a mighty one those sitting!
Isaiah 10:14	And my hand has found the riches of the peoples as a nest; and as a gathering of forsaken eggs I have gathered all the earth; and there has not been one flapping a wing or opening [its] mouth and chirping.’”
Isaiah 10:15	Will the ax glorify itself over the one hewing with it? Or will the saw exalt itself over one waving it—waving it as a rod of the one raising it, lifting it up as a staff not of wood!
Isaiah 10:16	Therefore the Lord YHWH of Hosts will send among his fat ones leanness, and in place of his glory He will kindle a burning like the burning of fire.
Isaiah 10:17	And the Light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorn and his brier in one day.
Isaiah 10:18	And the glory of his forest and his orchard He will finish [off] from soul to flesh, and he will become like the melting away of one being sick.
Isaiah 10:19	And the remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few that a child could count them!
Isaiah 10:20	And it will come to be in that day [that] the remnant of Israel and the survivor of the house of Jacob, will not continue anymore to lean on the one striking it. And he will lean truly on YHWH, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 10:21	A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.
Isaiah 10:22	For though your people O Israel, should be as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant will return of it. The destruction [is] decreed, overflowing with righteousness.
Isaiah 10:23	For the full end [is] decreed, [that] the Lord YHWH of Hosts will make in the midst of all the land.
Isaiah 10:24	Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH of Hosts: “You should not fear, O My people, dwelling in Zion, the Assyrian! With a rod he will strike you, and his staff he will lift up against you in the way of Egypt.
Isaiah 10:25	For in just a very little while, [My] rage will come to an end, and My anger [will be] upon their destruction.”
Isaiah 10:26	And YHWH of Hosts will stir up against him a whip, like the striking of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and [as] His rod [was] over the sea, so will He lift it up in the manner of Egypt.
Isaiah 10:27	And in that day and it will come to pass [that] his burden will turned aside from your shoulder and his yoke from your neck and the yoke will be destroyed from the face of fatness,
Isaiah 10:28	he has come to Ayyah, he has passed over Migron; at Michmash he attends to his vessels.
Isaiah 10:29	They have passed over at the ford; Geba [was] a lodging-place for [them]. Ramah has trembled, Gibeah of Saul has fled.
Isaiah 10:30	Cry aloud [with] your voice, O daughter of Gallim! Pay attention, O Laish, O poor Anathoth!
Isaiah 10:31	Madmenah has fled, those dwelling in Gebim have taken refuge.
Isaiah 10:32	Yet today he will remain at Nob; he will wave his fist at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Isaiah 10:33	Behold, the Lord YHWH of Hosts will lop off the bough with a crash; and those being high of stature will be cut down, and the high ones will be brought low.
Isaiah 10:34	And He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One.
Isaiah 11:1	A branch there will come forth from the stump of Jesse, and a fresh shoot from his roots will bear fruit.
Isaiah 11:2	And will rest upon Him the Spirit of YHWH, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and fear of YHWH.
Isaiah 11:3	And His delight [is] in the fear of YHWH, and by the sight of His eyes He will not judge, and not by the hearing of his ears He will decide.
Isaiah 11:4	And He will judge the lowly with righteousness, and He will decide with straightness for the poor of the earth; and He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Isaiah 11:5	And righteousness will be the girdle of His waist, and faithfulness the girdle of His loins.
Isaiah 11:6	And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together, and a little child will lead them.
Isaiah 11:7	And the cow and the bear will graze; their young will lie down together, and the lion like the ox will eat straw.
Isaiah 11:8	And the suckling will play over the hole of a cobra, and over the den of a viper the one being weaned will stretch out his hand.
Isaiah 11:9	They will not harm and they will not destroy in all the mountain of My holiness; for the earth will be full [of] the knowledge of YHWH, as the waters are covering the sea.
Isaiah 11:10	And in that day it will come to pass [that] the root of Jesse, which is standing, [will be] as a banner for the peoples; The nations will seek Him out, and His resting place will be [in] glory.
Isaiah 11:11	And it will come to pass in that day [that] the Lord will add a second [time] [with] His hand to recover the remnant of His people who will remain from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 11:12	And He will lift up a banner for the nations, and He will gather the banished ones of Israel, and the dispersed ones of Judah He will gather together from the four wings of the earth.
Isaiah 11:13	And the jealousy of Ephraim will be turned aside, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim will not envy Judah and Judah will not harass Ephraim.
Isaiah 11:14	And they will fly down on the shoulder of the Philistines westward; together they will plunder the sons of the east. Upon Edom and Moab they will send forth their hands, and the sons of Ammon [will be] their subjects.
Isaiah 11:15	And YHWH will devote to destruction the tongue of the Sea of Egypt, and He will wave His hand over the River with the might of His wind, and will strike it into seven streams, for one to tread in sandals.
Isaiah 11:16	And there will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as it was for Israel in the day of his coming up from the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 12:1	And you will say in that day, “I will praise You, O YHWH! Though You were angry with me, Your nose has turned away, and You have comforted me.
Isaiah 12:2	Behold, God [is] my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid, for my strength and song [is] YAH—YHWH, and He has become for me salvation.”
Isaiah 12:3	And you⁺ will draw water with joy from the springs of salvation.
Isaiah 12:4	And you⁺ will say in that day: “Give praise to YHWH; call on His name! Declare among the peoples His deeds; cause it to be remembered that His Name is exalted.
Isaiah 12:5	Sing to YHWH, for He has done magnificent [things]; let this be known in all the earth.
Isaiah 12:6	Cry out and ring out, O dweller of Zion, for great among you [is] the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 13:1	The burden of Babylon that Isaiah son of Amoz has seen.
Isaiah 13:2	Upon the bare mountain lift up a banner! Raise high your voice to them. Wave a hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
Isaiah 13:3	I have commanded My holy ones; also, I have called My mighty ones for My nose—those jubilant ones of My pride.
Isaiah 13:4	The voice of a crowd on the mountains, like that of many people—the voice of a roar of the kingdoms of nations gathered together! YHWH of Hosts is mustering a host for battle!
Isaiah 13:5	They are coming from a land far off, from the end of the heavens—YHWH and the instruments of His indignation—to destroy all the land.
Isaiah 13:6	Wail, for the day of YHWH [is] near; it will come as destruction from Shaddai.
Isaiah 13:7	At this all hands will go limp, and every heart of man will melt;
Isaiah 13:8	and they will be afraid; pains and pangs will seize them; like a woman in labor they will writhe. Each man to his neighbor will look with astonishment, [with] faces aflame—their faces.
Isaiah 13:9	Behold, the day of YHWH is coming, cruel with wrath and heat of anger, to set the land unto desolation, and He will destroy its sinful ones from it.
Isaiah 13:10	For the stars of the heavens and their constellations their light will not shine forth; the sun will be darkened in its going forth, and the moon will not cause to shine its light.
Isaiah 13:11	And I will visit punishment upon the world [for] evil, and upon the wicked [for] their iniquity, and I will make cease the arrogance of the proud ones, and the haughtiness of the ruthless ones I will lay low.

Isaiah 13:14	And it has been like the gazelle driven away, or like a sheep without one gathering [it], each man to his people will turn, and each man to his land will flee.

Isaiah 13:17	Behold, I am stirring up against them the Medes, who regard have no for silver, and gold—they do not delight in it.
Isaiah 13:18	And the bows will dash to pieces the young men, and [on] the fruit of the womb they will have no mercy—on sons their eye has no pity.
Isaiah 13:19	Babylon, the glory of kingdoms and the beauty of the pride of the Chaldeans, will be like the overthrowing [by] God of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Isaiah 13:20	She wil not be dwelt in to eternity, she wil not be dwelt in for generation and generation, and no Arab or shepherds will pitch a tent; there they will not make flocks rest there.

Isaiah 19:15	And there will not be work for Egypt that one could do—head or tail, palm branch or reed,
Isaiah 19:16	[In] that day Egypt will become like women, and it will tremble and feel dread from the face of the waving of the hand of YHWH of Hosts, which He is waving over it.
Isaiah 19:17	And the land of Judah will be to Egypt as a terror; everyone who makes mention of it will tremble in himself from the face of the counsel of YHWH of Hosts, which He is counseling against [Egypt].

Isaiah 21:13	The burden upon Arabia: In the thicket you⁺ lodge in Arabia, O caravans of Dedanites,

Isaiah 22:19	And I will thrust you from your station, and one will throw you down from your position.
Isaiah 22:20	And it will be on that day, I will call My servant Eliakim son of Hilkiah,
Isaiah 22:21	and I will clothe him with your tunic and strengthen him with your sash, and I will give your rule into his hand; and He will be as a father to those dwelling in Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.
Isaiah 22:22	And I will place the key of the house of David upon his shoulder. And he will open, and no one is shutting; and he will shut, and no one is opening.
Isaiah 22:23	And I will fasten him like a peg in a place [that] is firm, and he will become as a throne of glory to the house of his father.
Isaiah 22:24	And they will hang on him all the glory of the house of his father—the offspring and the posterity, [and] all the vessels of small [size], from all the cups, and unto all the vessels of jars.
Isaiah 22:25	In that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, the peg that is fastened will give way, into a firm place, it will be sheared off, and fall, and the burden that [was] on it will be cut off,” for YHWH has spoken.

Isaiah 24:12	In the city a desolation has been left, and the gate is broken into a ruin.
Isaiah 24:13	For thus it shall be within the land in the midst of the nations, like the shaking of an olive tree, like the gleaning of grapes when the vintage is done.
Isaiah 24:14	They will lift up their voice; they will sing of the majesty of YHWH—they have cried aloud from the sea.
Isaiah 24:15	Upon thus, glorify YHWH in the dawning light, the name of YHWH God of Israel in the islands of the sea.
Isaiah 24:16	From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: “Glory to the Righteous One.” And I said, “Leanness [is] unto me! Leanness [is] unto me! Woe to me!” Treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, and with treachery treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously.
Isaiah 24:17	Terror and pit and snare [are] upon you, O dweller of the earth.
Isaiah 24:18	And it will come to pass [that] he who flees from the sound of terror will fall into the pit, and he who comes up from the midst of the pit will be caught in the snare. For the windows on high have been opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken.
Isaiah 24:19	The earth has been utterly broken apart; the earth has been utterly split open; the earth has been shaken violently.
Isaiah 24:20	The earth like a drunkard will stagger greatly, and it will totter like a hut; and transgression will be heavy upon it, and it will fall and never again rise.
Isaiah 24:21	And it will come to pass in that day, [that] YHWH will lay a charge upon the host of the high place in the high place and upon the kings of the earth on the earth.
Isaiah 24:22	And they will be gathered together—a gathering of bound ones in the pit, and they will be shut up in the prison, and after a multitude of days they will be punished.
Isaiah 24:23	The moon and will be confounded and the sun will be ashamed, for YHWH of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders is glory.
Isaiah 25:1	O YHWH, You [are] my God! I will exalt You. I will praise Your name, for You have done a wonderful thing, counsel of old, in steadfast faithfulness.
Isaiah 25:2	For You have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin, a fortress of strangers from a city—forever it will never be rebuilt!
Isaiah 25:3	Upon thus a strong people will honor You; a city of ruthless nations will fear you.
Isaiah 25:4	For You have been a stronghold for the poor, a stronghold for the needy one in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat—for the breath of the ruthless ones [is] like a storm against a wall,
Isaiah 25:5	like heat in a dry land, the roar of strangers You humble—the heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless ones will be brought low.
Isaiah 25:6	And YHWH of Hosts will make on this on the mountain for all the peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of aged wines—fat things full of marrow, aged wines well-refined.
Isaiah 25:7	And He will swallow up on this mountain the face of the wrapping covering over all the peoples, and the veil woven over all the nations.
Isaiah 25:8	He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord YHWH will wipe away the tear from all faces, and He will turn away the scorn of His people from all the earth. For YHWH has spoken.
Isaiah 25:9	And one will say on that day, “Behold, this [is] our God; we have waited for Him and He has saved us. This [is] YHWH; we have waited for Him—let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation!”
Isaiah 25:10	For the hand of YHWH will rest on this mountain, and Moab will be trampled down under Him as is trampled down straw in the waters of dung.
Isaiah 25:11	And He will spread out His hands within it, as the swimmer spreads out to swim, and He will bring low its pride with the skill of his hands.
Isaiah 25:12	And the fortress of the high place of your walls He will bend down—He will bring it low, touching it down to the ground, into dust!
Isaiah 26:1	In that day, will be sung this song in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; He sets salvation [for] walls and a rampart.
Isaiah 26:2	Open the gates, that a righteous nation may enter in—one keeping faith.
Isaiah 26:3	You will keep the one steadfast of mind in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.
Isaiah 26:4	Trust in YHWH even to forever, for in YAH—YHWH—[is] a Rock of Ages.
Isaiah 26:5	For He has brought down those dwelling [in] a high place; the city up high He brings low—He brings it down to the ground, He makes it touch even to the dust.
Isaiah 26:6	The foot will trample it—the feet of the poor, the steps of the lowly.
Isaiah 26:7	The path of a righteous one [is] uprightness; You make level a straight track for the righteous one.
Isaiah 26:8	Indeed, [in] the path of Your judgments, O YHWH, we wait for You; for Your name and for the remembrance of You [is] the desire of the soul.
Isaiah 26:9	[With] my soul I have desired You in the night; yes, [with] my spirit within me I seek You early; for when Your judgments [are] on the earth, those dwelling in the world will learn righteousness.
Isaiah 26:10	Let the wicked be favored—he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he acts unjustly, and he cannot see the majesty of YHWH.
Isaiah 26:11	O YHWH, Your hand is lifted high; they do not see [it]. Let them see the zeal for the people and be ashamed; yes, the fire of Your enemies will devour them.
Isaiah 26:12	O YHWH, You will establish peace for us, even for all our works You have done for us.
Isaiah 26:13	O YHWH our God, lords besides You have ruled over us; only by You we make mention of Your name.
Isaiah 26:14	Those being dead will not live; the Rephaim will not rise; therefore you have attended to and destroyed them, and You have made to perish all memory of them.
Isaiah 26:15	You have added to the nation, O YHWH; You have added to the nation, You are glorified; You have expanded all the borders of the land.
Isaiah 26:16	O YHWH, in the distress they visited You; they poured out a whispering [with] Your discipline upon them.
Isaiah 26:17	Like a pregnant woman drawing near to giving birth writhes and cries out in pain, so have we been before Your face, O YHWH.
Isaiah 26:18	We were pregnant; we writhed; we gave birth as if [to] the wind; we have not accomplished salvation [on] earth, and those dwelling in the world have not fallen.
Isaiah 26:19	Your dead will live—my corpse they rise! Awake and sing out, O dwellers of the dust! For a dew of light [is] your dew, and the earth, she will cast out the Rephaim.
Isaiah 26:20	Go, my people, come into your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourself a little while, until [His] anger has passed by.
Isaiah 26:21	For behold, YHWH is coming forth from His place to punish the iniquity of those dwelling in the earth! And the earth will uncover her bloodshed and she will not cover anymore over her slain.
Isaiah 27:1	In that day YHWH will visit with His sword, severe and great and mighty, upon Leviathan the fleeing serpent, and upon Leviathan the coiling serpent, and He will kill the dragon that [is] in the sea.
Isaiah 27:2	In that day: Sing of her—a vineyard of delight!
Isaiah 27:3	I, YHWH, am watching over her; every moment I water her, lest one should visit upon her; night and day I watch over her.
Isaiah 27:4	Anger [is] not in Me. Who would set against Me a thorn—a thornbush? In the battle I will march against her, I will burn her alltogether.
Isaiah 27:5	Or if he should take hold of My strength, he will make peace with Me—peace he will make with Me.”
Isaiah 27:6	Those coming in of Jacob he causes to take root. Israel will blossom and bud, and they will fill the face of the world with fruit.
Isaiah 27:7	Has He has struck him as the striking of one striking him? As if according to the slaughter of his slain was he slayed?
Isaiah 27:8	In driving her off, in sending her out, You have contended with her; He removed it by His harsh wind, [as] on the day of the east wind.
Isaiah 27:9	Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be wiped away, and this [is] all the fruit, to take away his sin: In His setting all the stones of the altar, as stones of chalk crushed to pieces; they will not rise—the Asherah poles and incense altars.
Isaiah 27:10	For the fortified city [is] alone, a habitation deserted and forsaken like the wilderness; there the calf will graze, and there he will lie down and consume her branches.
Isaiah 27:11	With the withering of her boughs, they are broken off; the women come make fires with it, for it [is] not for a people of understanding. Thus He who made them will not have compassion on them, and He who formed them will not show them favor.
Isaiah 27:12	And it will come to pass in that day, [that] YHWH will beat out the [grain], from the stream of the River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you⁺ will be gathered one [by] one, O sons of Israel.
Isaiah 27:13	And it will come to pass in that day [that] a great shofar will be blown, and will come those lost in the land of Assyria, and those driven away in the land of Egypt, and they will worship YHWH on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 28:1	Woe, to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, and the withering flower, the beauty of his glory, which [is] at the head of the valley of fatness, those having been struck down by wine!
Isaiah 28:2	Behold, a mighty and strong one [is] unto the Lord, like a storm of hail and a tempest of destruction, like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, He will bring [it] to the ground with the hand.
Isaiah 28:3	With [his] feet, the pride of the crown of the drunkards of Ephraim will be trampled.
Isaiah 28:4	The fading flower, the beauty of his glory that [is] on the head of the valley of fatness, will be like a ripe fig before summer, which the one seeing it sees, [and] with it still in his palm, he swallows it.
Isaiah 28:5	In that day YHWH of Hosts will be a crown of glory and a diadem of beauty for the remnant of His people,
Isaiah 28:6	and as a spirit of justice for the one sitting in judgment, and as strength [for those] turning back the battle [at] the gate.
Isaiah 28:7	And also these through wine have erred, and with strong drink have wandered; priest and prophet have erred through strong drink [and] are swallowed up by the wine, they go astray through strong drink; they err in vision, they have stumbled [in] judgment.
Isaiah 28:8	For all the tables are full of vomit [and] filth without a place to stand.
Isaiah 28:9	[To] whom will He teach knowledge? And [to] whom will he explain the message? Those weaned from milk? Those removed from the breasts?
Isaiah 28:10	For, “Order on order, order on order; line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there.”
Isaiah 28:11	For with mocking lips and a foreign tongue He will speak to this people,
Isaiah 28:12	to whom He said: “This [is] the resting, may they give rest to the weary, and this [is] the refreshing,” they were not willing to listen.
Isaiah 28:13	And the word of YHWH will become to them “Order on order, order on order; line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” that they might go and stumble backward, and be broken and ensnared and captured.
Isaiah 28:14	Therefore hear the word of YHWH, O men of scorning, rulers of this people who [are] in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 28:15	For you⁺ have said, “We have cut a covenant with death, and with Sheol we have made an agreement. The overflowing scourge, when it passes over, it will not come [to] us, for we have made falsehood our refuge, and in deception we have hidden ourselves.”
Isaiah 28:16	Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: “Behold, I lay for a foundation in Zion a stone, a stone tested, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. One believing will not be in haste.
Isaiah 28:17	And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumbline; and the hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.
Isaiah 28:18	And your⁺ covenant with death will be dissolved, and your⁺ agreement with Sheol will not stand; the overwhelming scourge, when it passes over, then you⁺ will be trampled by it.
Isaiah 28:19	As often as it passes over, it will take you⁺; for morning by morning it will pass over.” And by day and by night, then it will be only a terror to understand the report.
Isaiah 28:20	For the bed is too short for stretching out, and the covering too narrow for wrapping oneself.
Isaiah 28:21	For as at Mount Perazim, YHWH will rise up; as [in] the Valley of Gibeon, He will rouse Himself, to do His work—His strange work! And to perform His task—His unusual task!
Isaiah 28:22	And now, do not mock, lest your⁺ bonds be made strong; for destruction is decreed—I have heard from the Lord YHWH of Hosts—upon the whole land.
Isaiah 28:23	Give ear and hear my voice; pay attention and hear my speech.
Isaiah 28:24	Does the one plowing plow all the day to sow? He opens and harrows his ground.
Isaiah 28:25	Does he not, when he has leveled its face, then scatter caraway and sow cummin and put in a row the wheat in the appointed place and the barley and the spelt at its border?
Isaiah 28:26	And He instructs him in judgment, and His God teaches him.
Isaiah 28:27	For caraway is not threshed with a sledge, and the wheel of a cart is not rolled over the cumin. But with the staff caraway is beaten out, and the cummin with the rod.
Isaiah 28:28	Bread must be ground, but not forever does the one threshing thresh it; and he runs it over with the wheels of his cart, and his horses do not crush it.
Isaiah 28:29	Also this has gone forth from YHWH of Hosts, wonderful in counsel, great in wisdom.
Isaiah 29:1	Woe to Ariel, Ariel the city [where] David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around.
Isaiah 29:2	And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; and to Me she will be as Ariel!
Isaiah 29:3	And I will encamp in a circle against you, and I will lay siege against you with a siege-work, and I will raise against you the fortifications.
Isaiah 29:4	And you will be brought low, from the ground you will speak, and from the dust Your speech will be low, and Your voice will be from the ground like a spirit from the dust, and your speech will whisper.
Isaiah 29:5	The multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff passing away; and it will come to pass in an instant, suddenly,
Isaiah 29:6	from YHWH of Hosts you will be visited with thunder and earthquake and a great voice, [with] storm and tempest and the flame of devouring fire.
Isaiah 29:7	And it will come to pass like a dream and a vision of night, and the multitude of all the nations that go out against Ariel—even all those fighting against her and the siegeworks against her, and those pressing on her.
Isaiah 29:8	And it will be as when the hungry one dreams and behold, he is eating, and he awakens, and his soul [is] empty; or as when the thirsty one dreams and behold, he is drinking, and he awakens, and behold, [he is] faint and his soul is [still] running about. So will be the multitude of the all nations coming out against Mount Zion.
Isaiah 29:9	Pause and be astonished, blind yourselves and be blinded; be drunk, not [from] wine; stagger, not from strong drink!
Isaiah 29:10	For YHWH has poured out on you⁺ a spirit of deep sleep, and He has closed your⁺ eyes, O prophets, and He has covered your⁺ heads, O seers.
Isaiah 29:11	And the vision of all has become to you⁺ like the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to the one knowing a book, saying, “Read this now! “And he says, I am not able, for it [is]” sealed.
Isaiah 29:12	And the book is given to one who does not know a book, saying, “Read this now! And he says, “I do not know a book.”
Isaiah 29:13	And YHWH says, “Because that this people draws near with its mouth, and honors Me with its lips, and its heart has grown far away from Me, and their reverence toward Me is a commandment taught by men.
Isaiah 29:14	Therefore behold, I am adding to do a marvellous work with this people, and [by] a wonder making wonders, so will perish, the wisdom of its wise, and the understanding of its discerning will be hidden.
Isaiah 29:15	Wo [to] those going deep from YHWH to hide their counsel. And their works are in darkness, and they say, “Who sees us and who knows us?”
Isaiah 29:16	You⁺ have turned things upside down! Shall the potter be considered like clay? Shall the thing made say of the one making it “He did not make me”? Or the thing formed say of the one forming it “He does not understand”?
Isaiah 29:17	[Is] it not yet very a little while [that] Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be considered a forest?
Isaiah 29:18	And in that day the deaf will hear the words of a book, and from the gloom and from the darkness, the eyes of the blind will see.
Isaiah 29:19	And the lowly will add joy in YHWH, and the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 29:20	For the ruthless one will cease, and the mocking one will disappear, and all those watching for iniquity will be cut down—
Isaiah 29:21	those making guilty a man by a word and laying a snare for the one arguing in the gate and stretching aside in confusion the just one.
Isaiah 29:22	Therefore thus says YHWH, who redeemed Abraham, to the house of Jacob, “Now no more will Jacob be ashamed, and now no more [will] his face grow pale.
Isaiah 29:23	For in his seeing his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they will sanctify My name and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and the God of Israel they will fear.
Isaiah 29:24	And those having gone astray in spirit will know understanding, and those having grumbled, will learn instruction.”
Isaiah 30:1	` Woe to the rebellious” sons, says YHWH, “Making counsels not from Me and weaving webs not of My Spirit, for the purpose of adding sin upon sin—
Isaiah 30:2	those going down to Egypt (and they have not asked My mouth) to take refuge in the stronghold of Pharaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
Isaiah 30:3	And the strength of Pharaoh will be unto you⁺ for shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt for disgrace.
Isaiah 30:4	For his princes are in Zoan, and his messengers have reached Hanes;
Isaiah 30:5	[they] all come to shame over a people of no profit to them, not for help and not for gain, but for shame and even for scorn.”
Isaiah 30:6	The burden of the beasts of the Negev: In a land of distress and anguish, from which [came] lioness and lion, the flying viper and serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulder of donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them,
Isaiah 30:7	and [to] Egypt in emptiness and uselessness for helping; therefore I have called to her, Rahab-hem-shebeth.
Isaiah 30:8	Now go write it on a tablet before them and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for a day to come for a witness even to forever;
Isaiah 30:9	for it [is] a rebellious people, sons of deceit, sons not willing to hear the instruction of YHWH,
Isaiah 30:10	who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth; speak to us smooth things; prophesy illusions.
Isaiah 30:11	Turn aside from the way, bend away from the path, make cease before our faces the Holy One of Israel.”
Isaiah 30:12	Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you⁺ reject this word, and you⁺ trust in oppression and corruption and lean on it,
Isaiah 30:13	so will be to you⁺ this iniquity like a breach ready to fall, bulging in a high wall, whose breach suddenly comes in an instant.
Isaiah 30:14	And He will break it like the breaking of the vessel of a potter shattered with no pity; and there will not be found among its fragments a shard to scrape fire from the hearth or to draw water from the cistern.”
Isaiah 30:15	For thus says the Lord YHWH, the Holy One of Israel: “In returning and rest you⁺ will be saved; in quietness and in confidence will be your⁺ strength.” And you⁺ were not willing,”
Isaiah 30:16	and you⁺ said, “No,” for we will flee on horses.” Therefore you⁺ will flee—“For we will ride on swift ones.” (upon thus, those pursuing you⁺ will be swift.)
Isaiah 30:17	One thousand from the face of the threat of one, from the face of the threat of five you⁺ will flee, until only you⁺ are left behind like a pole on the top of the mountain and like a banner on the hill!
Isaiah 30:18	And YHWH waits to show you⁺ favor, and therefore He rises up to show you⁺ mercy. For YHWH [is] a God of justice; blessed [are] all those waiting for Him.
Isaiah 30:19	Indeed, O people in Zion [who] dwell in Jerusalem, surely you will weep no more. Surely He will show you favor at the voice of your crying; at His hearing [it], He will answer you.
Isaiah 30:20	The Lord gives to you⁺ the bread of distress and the water of oppression, and your teachers will not be hidden in a corner anymore, and your eyes will be seeing your teachers.
Isaiah 30:21	And Your ears will hear a word from behind you, saying, “This [is] the way; walk in it,” when you⁺ turn to the right or when you⁺ turn to the left.
Isaiah 30:22	And you⁺ will defile the overlaid idols of your silver, and the plating of the molten images of your gold; you will throw them away like menstrual cloths—“Filth!”” You will say to it.
Isaiah 30:23	And He will give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground, and the bread [of] the produce of the ground, and it will be fat and rich. In that day your cattle will feed in broad pastures,
Isaiah 30:24	and the oxen and the donkeys working the ground will eat seasoned fodder that has been winnowed with the shovel and the pitchfork.
Isaiah 30:25	And there will be on every high mountain and on every high hill, rivers [and] streams of waters in the day of great slaughter at the falling of the towers.
Isaiah 30:26	And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold—like the light of seven days—on the day that YHWH binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds of His scourging.
Isaiah 30:27	Behold, the name of YHWH is coming from afar! With His nose burning and denseness of smoke, His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue is like a devouring fire.
Isaiah 30:28	And His breath is like an overflowing torrent; it reaches up to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of futility, and a bridle leading them astray [is] upon the jaws of the peoples.
Isaiah 30:29	There will be for you⁺ a song, as in the night of a holy feast, and gladness of heart, as when one walks with a flute to go into the mountain of YHWH, to the Rock of Israel.
Isaiah 30:30	And YHWH will make heard the splendor of His voice, and He will make seen the sweeping down of His arm, in the rage of [His] nose and a flame of devouring fire, [with] storm and tempest and stone of hail.
Isaiah 30:31	For at the voice of YHWH Assyria will be shattered; with the rod He will strike.
Isaiah 30:32	[With] every passing of the rod of punishment that YHWH brings down on him, then it will come to pass [that] with tambourines and with harps, as in battle of shaking He will fight against them.
Isaiah 30:33	For Topheth was arranged long ago—even for the king it was prepared. He has made [it] deep and large, the pile of fire and much wood. The breath of YHWH like a torrent of brimstone will set fire to it!
Isaiah 31:1	Woe to those going down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and trust in chariots that are many, and in horsemen that they are very numerous, and they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and YHWH they do not seek.
Isaiah 31:2	He [is] also wise, and He brings disaster; and His words He does not turn aside, and He will rise up against a house of evildoers, and against the help of the workers of iniquity.
Isaiah 31:3	For Egypt [is] is man and not God, and their horses are flesh and not Spirit. And YHWH stretches out His hand, and the helper will stumble, and the one being helped will fall, and together all of them will perish.
Isaiah 31:4	For thus has said YHWH to me: “As the lion roars or the young lion over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called against him—at their voice he is not afraid and at their clamor he is not alarmed—so YHWH of Hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion, and on her hill.
Isaiah 31:5	Like birds flying about, so YHWH of hosts will give cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering it, passing over and preserving it.”
Isaiah 31:6	Return to the one against whom you have deeply rebelled, O sons of Israel,
Isaiah 31:7	for in that day, a man will reject the idols of his silver and the idols of his gold, which your⁺ own hands have made for you⁺ as sin.
Isaiah 31:8	And Assyria Will fall by a sword not of man, and a sword not of man will devour him; and he will flee from from the face of the sword, and his young men will be for forced labor.
Isaiah 31:9	And his stronghold will pass away at the terror, and his princes will be frightened at the banner,” says YHWH, whose fire unto Him [is] in Zion, and a furnace unto Him [is] in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 32:1	Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.
Isaiah 32:2	And each man will be like a hiding place from the wind and a cover from the tempest, like streams of waters in a dry land, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
Isaiah 32:3	And the eyes of those seeing will no longer be closed, and the ears of those hearing will listen;
Isaiah 32:4	and the heart of those being hasty will understand to know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hurry to speak clearly.
Isaiah 32:5	A foolish one will no longer be called noble, and a scoundrel will not be said to be honorable;
Isaiah 32:6	for a foolish one speaks foolishness, and his heart makes trouble, to practice profanity and to speak error against YHWH, keeping empty the soul of the hungry, and the thirsty he deprives of drink.
Isaiah 32:7	And the scoundrel—his vessels [are] evil—he counsels wicked plots to destroy the poor with deceptive words, even when the plea of the needy is just.
Isaiah 32:8	And a noble counsels noble [things], and he for noble things will stand.
Isaiah 32:9	Rise up O women at ease, hear my voice; O secure daughters, give ear to my word.
Isaiah 32:10	In days upon a year, you will tremble, O secure ones; for the vintage has ended; the harvest will not come.
Isaiah 32:11	Tremble, O ones at ease; quake, O secure ones; strip yourselves and make yourselves bare, and gird upon [your] loins.
Isaiah 32:12	For breasts they are lamenting over the fields of delight, over the fruitful vine,
Isaiah 32:13	over the land of my people [where] thorns and briers come up; yes, over all the houses of joy [in] the jubilant city.
Isaiah 32:14	For the palace will be forsaken, the clamor of the city will be forsaken, [and] the citadel and watchtower will become as dens even to forever—the joy of wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks—
Isaiah 32:15	until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high and the wilderness becomes as a fertile field and the fertile field is considered as a forest.
Isaiah 32:16	Then justice will settle down in the wilderness and righteousness will dwell in the fertile field.
Isaiah 32:17	And the work of righteousness will be peace, and the labor of righteousness quiet and security even to forever.
Isaiah 32:18	And My people will settle in an abode of peace, and in dwelling places of security and quiet places of rest.
Isaiah 32:19	And it will hail in the going down of the forest, and the city will be brought utterly low.
Isaiah 32:20	Blessed [are] you⁺ [who] are sowing beside all waters, sending out the feet of the ox and the donkey.
Isaiah 33:1	Woe, O destroyer, even you never destroyed, and [you] treacherous one, and they have never betrayed him! At the completion of your destroying, you will be destroyed; as you finish being treacherous, they will deal treacherously with you.
Isaiah 33:2	O YHWH, show favor to us; we wait for You! Be their arm in the mornings, also our salvation in the time of distress.
Isaiah 33:3	From the voice of ] roaring the peoples will flee, from Your rising up the nations will be scattered.
Isaiah 33:4	Your⁺ plunder will be gathered as gathers the locust; as the rushing of locusts shall he run upon it.
Isaiah 33:5	YHWH is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion [with] justice and righteousness.
Isaiah 33:6	He will be the steadfastness of your times, and a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge—the fear of YHWH is his treasure.
Isaiah 33:7	Behold, “Their Ariel” they have cried outside; the messengers of peace do weep bitterly.
Isaiah 33:8	[For] the highways are desolate, the road has ceased [from] those traveling. He has broken the covenant; he has despised the witnesses; he has not regarded man.
Isaiah 33:9	The land mourns [and] languishes; Lebanon is ashamed [and] decays; Sharon has become like the Arabah, and Bashan and Carmel shake off.
Isaiah 33:10	“Now I will arise,” says YHWH; “Now I will be exalted, now I will lift Myself up!
Isaiah 33:11	You⁺ conceive chaff, you⁺ give birth to stubble. Your⁺ breath [like] a fire will devour you⁺.
Isaiah 33:12	And the people will be [like] the burnings of lime, cut thorns, they will be burned in the fire.
Isaiah 33:13	Hear, far away ones, what I have done, and acknowledge, near ones, My might.”
Isaiah 33:14	The sinful ones in Zion are afraid, trembling has seized the godless: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with burnings” forever?
Isaiah 33:15	The one walking righteously and speaking uprightly; the one rejecting the gain of oppression, shaking his hands away from grasping at a bribe; the one shutting his ears from hearing of bloodshed and closing his eyes from looking at evil;

Isaiah 33:17	Your eyes will gaze [at] the King in His beauty; they will see a land faraway.
Isaiah 33:18	Your heart will ponder the terror: “Where [is] the one counting? Where [is] the one weighing? Where [is] the one counting the towers?”

Isaiah 34:12	And nothing [is] there for her nobles to call a kingdom, and all her princes will be nothing.
Isaiah 34:13	And thorns will come up in her palaces, thistles and briers in her fortresses; and she will be a habitation of jackals, a courtyard for daughters of the ostrich.
Isaiah 34:14	And the desert creatures will meet with the jackals, and the wild goat will bleat alongside his companion; indeed, Lilith will rest there and find for herself a place of rest,
Isaiah 34:15	There the owl will nest and lay and hatch and gather [them] under her shadow; even there will gather the birds of prey, each with her mate.

Isaiah 36:1	And it came to pass in the fourteenth … year of king Hezekiah [that] Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and he captured them.
Isaiah 36:2	And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a great army; and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Field of Fuller.
Isaiah 36:3	And went out to him Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder.
Isaiah 36:4	And the Rabshakeh said to them, “Say, please, to Hezekiah, thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: ‘What [is] this confidence [with] which you are confident?
Isaiah 36:5	You speak a mere word of the lips [is] counsel and strength for the battle? Now, in whom are you trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
Isaiah 36:6	Behold, are you trusting in the staff of this broken reed in Egypt, which a man who leans on it, it will go into his palm and pierce it! So [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting in him.
Isaiah 36:7	But if you say to me, ‘In YHWH our God we trust,’ [is it] not He for whom His high places and His altars, Hezekiah has turned aside, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘Before this altar you⁺ shall worship?
Isaiah 36:8	And now, make a wager, please, with my lord the king of Assyria, and I will give to you two thousand horses—if you are able to set for you riders on them.
Isaiah 36:9	And how can you turn back the faces of one among a governor of the least servants of my lord, and place your trust in Egypt for chariot and horsemen?
Isaiah 36:10	And now, was [it] without YHWH [that] I came up against this land to destroy it? YHWH has said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it!’”
Isaiah 36:11	And Eliakim said and Shebna and Joah to the Rabshakeh, “Speak, please, to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand [it]; and do not speak to us in Hebrew in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
Isaiah 36:12	And the Rabshakeh said “Was [it] to your lord and to you [that] my master sent me to speak these words? Was [it] not to the men sitting on the wall who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you⁺?”
Isaiah 36:13	And the Rabshakeh stood and called out with a great voice in Hebrew, and he said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Isaiah 36:14	Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you⁺, for he will not be able to deliver you⁺.
Isaiah 36:15	And do not let Hezekiah make you⁺ trust in YHWH, saying, ‘YHWH will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
Isaiah 36:16	Do not listen to Hezekiah! For thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me, and each man will eat from his own vine and each man from his fig tree, and each man will drink the waters of his own cistern,
Isaiah 36:17	until I come and take you⁺ to a land like your⁺ own land—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Isaiah 36:18	Lest Hezekiah should incite you⁺ saying, ‘YHWH will surely deliver us.’ Have the gods of the nations delivered every man of his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Isaiah 36:19	Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Isaiah 36:20	Who among all the gods of these lands [are] they who have delivered their lands from my hand, that YHWH might deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Isaiah 36:21	And they were quiet, and they did not answer him a word; for it was the command of the king saying, “Do not answer him.”
Isaiah 36:22	And came Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with torn clothes, and they declared to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
Isaiah 37:1	And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of YHWH.
Isaiah 37:2	And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet.
Isaiah 37:3	And they said to him “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress and rebuke and contempt! For sons have come to the point of birth, and there is not strength for giving birth.
Isaiah 37:4	Perhaps YHWH your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke the words that YHWH your God has heard. And lift up a prayer on behalf of the remnant that is found.”
Isaiah 37:5	And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Isaiah 37:6	And Isaiah said to them “Thus will you⁺ say to your⁺ master: Thus says YHWH, ‘Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, [with] which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
Isaiah 37:7	Behold, I will put in him a spirit, and he will hear a rumor and return to his land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his land.’”
Isaiah 37:8	And the Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria making war against Libnah, for he had heard that he had set out from Lachish.
Isaiah 37:9	And the king heard about Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “He has come out to make war with you.” And when he heard [this], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Isaiah 37:10	“Thus you⁺ will speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Let not your God deceive you, whom you trust in him, saying: Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isaiah 37:11	[For] behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, devoting them to destruction—and you, will you be delivered?
Isaiah 37:12	Have the gods of the nations delivered them that my fathers have destroyed—as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who [were] in Telassar?
Isaiah 37:13	Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Isaiah 37:14	And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spread it out before the face of YHWH.
Isaiah 37:15	And Hezekiah prayed to YHWH, saying,
Isaiah 37:16	“O YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, the One sitting above [on] the cherubim, You are God—You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
Isaiah 37:17	Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib that he has sent to reproach the living God.
Isaiah 37:18	Truly, O YHWH, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations and their lands,
Isaiah 37:19	and have given their gods into the fire—for they [are] not gods, but only the work of the hands of man—wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
Isaiah 37:20	And now, O YHWH our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You [are God], O YHWH, You alone!
Isaiah 37:21	And Isaiah son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says YHWH God of Israel: Because you have prayed to Me regarding Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Isaiah 37:22	this [is] the word that YHWH has spoken concerning him: ‘She despises you, [and] mocks you—the virgin the daughter of Zion. The daughter of Jerusalem shakes the head behind you.
Isaiah 37:23	Whom have you taunted and blasphemed, and against whom have you raised the voice and lifted [on] high your eyes? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Isaiah 37:24	By the hand of your servants you have reproached the Lord, and you have said, “By the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tallest of its cedars, the choicest of its cypress trees; and I have come to the height of its end, the forest of its Carmel.
Isaiah 37:25	I have dug, and I have drunk [foreign] water, and I have dried up with the soles of my feet all the rivers of Egypt.”
Isaiah 37:26	Have you not heard? Long ago I made it, from days of old I formed it? Now I am bringing it to pass, that you should crash [into] heaps of ruins fortified cities.
Isaiah 37:27	And their dwellers, short of hand, were dismayed and put to shame; they have become a plant of the field and green grass, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
Isaiah 37:28	I have known and your sitting down and your going out and your coming in, and your raging against Me.
Isaiah 37:29	Because your raging against Me and your arrogance have come up into My ears, I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle on your lips, and I will turn you back to the way that you came by it.’
Isaiah 37:30	And this [is] to you a sign: This year you will eat the aftergrowth, and in the second year what springs forth, and in the third year you will sow and reap and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Isaiah 37:31	And ] again will the surivors of the house of Judah, those remaining, take root beneath and produce fruit above.
Isaiah 37:32	For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and a survivor from Mount Zion; the zeal of YHWH of Hosts will do this.
Isaiah 37:33	Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the king of Assyria: ‘He will not come into this city, and he will not shoot an arrow there, and not come before it with shields, and not pour out against it a siege mound.
Isaiah 37:34	By the way that he came, by it will he return, and into this’ city he will not enter! A declaration of YHWH.
Isaiah 37:35	‘And I will cover over this city to save it for My own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.’”
Isaiah 37:36	And the angel of YHWH went forth and killed in the camp of Assyria a hundred and eighty-five thousand; and they rose early in the morning, and behold—all of them [were] dead corpses.
Isaiah 37:37	And he pulled out and went away, and Sennacherib king of Assyria returned and dwelt in Nineveh.
Isaiah 37:38	And it came to pass, [as] he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer his sons struck him with the sword, and they escaped [to] the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his place.
Isaiah 38:1	In those days Hezekiah was sick unto death. And came to him Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and he said to him, “Thus says YHWH: ‘Set in order your house, for you are going to die, and you will not live!’”
Isaiah 38:2	And Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed to YHWH,
Isaiah 38:3	and he said, “I pray you, O YHWH, remember please how I have walked before Your face in truth and with a complete heart, and I have done [what is] good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept [with] great weeping.
Isaiah 38:4	And the word of YHWH came to Isaiah, saying,
Isaiah 38:5	“Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says YHWH the God of David your father, ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears; Behold I will add to your days fifteen years.
Isaiah 38:6	And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will cover over this city.
Isaiah 38:7	And this [is] to you the sign from YHWH that YHWH will do this thing that He has spoken:
Isaiah 38:8	Behold, I am bringing back the shadow on the stairs, which has gone down on the stairs of Ahaz, with the sun backward ten steps.’” And the sun was turned back ten steps on the steps that it had gone down.
Isaiah 38:9	The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, in his being sick and restored to life from his sickness:
Isaiah 38:10	I said, “In the prime of my life I will go inside the gates of Sheol; I am consigned there [for] the remainder of my years.”
Isaiah 38:11	I said, “I will not see YAH—YAH in the land of the living. I will look on mankind no more among those dwelling in the world.
Isaiah 38:12	My dwelling has been pulled up and removed from me like the tent of a shepherd; I have gathered up my life like a weaver; from the loom He cuts me off; from day until night You make an end of me.
Isaiah 38:13	I composed myself until morning; like a lion, thus He breaks all my bones; from day until night You make an end of me.
Isaiah 38:14	Like a swallow or crane, so I chirp; I moan like a dove; my eyes are worn out from up high. O Lord, oppression [is] unto me; be my security!”
Isaiah 38:15	What can I say? For He has said [it] to me and He Himself has done [it]. I move about all my days upon the bitterness of my soul.
Isaiah 38:16	O Lord, upon these they live; and in all of them is the life of my spirit; and You have restored me and have let me live.
Isaiah 38:17	Behold, for my wellbeing great bitterness [was] unto me; and You have held back my soul from the pit of oblivion, for You have cast behind Your back all my sins.
Isaiah 38:18	For Sheol cannot thank You [nor] death praise You; those going down to the Pit cannot have hope for Your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:19	The living, the living—he shall thank You as I do this day. A father to sons makes known about Your faithfulness.
Isaiah 38:20	YHWH will save me, and strings we will pluck all the days of our lives in the house of YHWH.

Isaiah 39:2	And Hezekiah was glad over them, and he showed them the house of his treasure, the silver and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and all the house of his armory, and all that was found in his storehouses. There was not [a] thing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
Isaiah 39:3	And Isaiah the prophet came to king Hezekiah and said to him,” “What did these men say, and from where did they come to you? And Hezekiah said, “From a land” far off—they have come to me from Babylon.”
Isaiah 39:4	And he said “What have they seen in your house?” And Hezekiah said, “All that [is] in my house they have seen; there is not a thing that I have not shown them among my treasures.”
Isaiah 39:5	And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of YHWH of hosts:
Isaiah 39:6	Behold, the days are coming when it will be carried off—all that [is] in your house and that your fathers have stored up until this day—to Babylon; not a thing will be left, says YHWH.

Isaiah 40:8	The grass withers, the flower fades, and the word of our God stands forever.”

Isaiah 40:10	Behold, the Lord YHWH will come with might, and His arm will rule for Him. Behold, His reward [is] with Him and His work [is] before His face.

Isaiah 40:14	With whom did he counsel, and [who] gave Him understanding and instructed Him in the path of justice? And [who] taught Him knowledge, and informed Him the way of understanding?
Isaiah 40:15	Behold, the nations [are] like a drop from a bucket, and they have been reckoned like dust of the scales! Behold, the islands He lifts up like fine dust,

Isaiah 40:27	Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way Is hidden from YHWH, and my claim is passed over by my God”?
Isaiah 40:28	Have you not known? Or have you not heard? God everlasting [is] YHWH, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint and He does not grow weary; [there is] no searching out of His understanding.
Isaiah 40:29	He gives power to the weary, and to those with no might, He increases strength.
Isaiah 40:30	Even youths will faint and grow weary, and young men will stumble and fall;

Isaiah 41:2	Who has roused one from the east? Righteousness calls him at His feet; He gives the nations before his face, and he subdues kings; he makes [them] like dust with his sword, driven away as stubble [by] his bow.
Isaiah 41:3	He pursues them, passing over in peace, a path he does not enter with his feet.
Isaiah 41:4	Who has worked and accomplished? The One calling the generations from the beginning: “I [am] YHWH, the first and the last; I [am] He!”

Isaiah 41:19	I will plant the cedar in the wilderness, and the acacia, and the myrtle, and the olive tree; I will place in the desert plain the cypress, elm, and boxwood together—
Isaiah 41:20	that they may see and know, and consider and understand together, that the hand of YHWH has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.”
Isaiah 41:21	“Bring near your⁺ case,” says YHWH; “Put forth your⁺ arguments,” says the King of Jacob.
Isaiah 41:22	“Let them approach, and declare to us what will happen. The former [things], what [were] they? Declare [it], that we may set [it] [in] our heart and know the last things; or declare to us the coming things.
Isaiah 41:23	Declare the things to come hereafter, that we may know if you⁺ [are] gods; yes, do good or do evil, that we may look and see together.
Isaiah 41:24	Behold, you⁺ [are] nothing, and your⁺ work [is] worthless—an abomination [is] he who chooses you⁺!
Isaiah 41:25	I have roused one from the north, and he has come from the rising of the sun; he calls on My name, and he comes in against princes like [they were] mortar, and like the potter treads the clay.
Isaiah 41:26	Who has declared [this] from the beginning, that we might know, and from before the face, that we may say, ‘[He is] right? Surely, no one declared [it]; surely, no one proclaimed [it]; surely no one heard your⁺ words.
Isaiah 41:27	First to Zion—behold, behold them!—And to Jerusalem, I will give one bringing news.
Isaiah 41:28	For I looked, and [there was] no man; among them, and no one was counseling, that I might ask them, and they could answer a word.
Isaiah 41:29	Behold, all of them [are] delusion; their works [are] nothing, their molten images are wind and emptiness.
Isaiah 42:1	[“] Behold, My Servant, I take hold of him, My Chosen One, [in whom] My soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon Him, and He will bring forth justice to the nations.
Isaiah 42:2	He will not cry out, and He will not lift up, and He will not make heard His voice in the street.
Isaiah 42:3	A bruised reed He will not break, and smoldering flax He will not quench; for [in] faithfulness He will bring forth justice.
Isaiah 42:4	He will not be dimmed and not be crushed, until He has established justice on the earth, and in His law the islands will put their hope.”
Isaiah 42:5	Thus says God YHWH, the One creating the heavens and stretching them out, spreading out the earth and its offspring, giving breath to the people on it and spirit to those walking on it:
Isaiah 42:6	“I, YHWH, have called You in righteousness, and have taken hold of your hand, and watched over you and given you as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations—
Isaiah 42:7	to open eyes of the blind, to bring out the prisoner from the dungeon, [and] from the house of confinement those sitting in darkness.
Isaiah 42:8	I [am] YHWH—that [is] My name! And My glory I will not give to another, or My praise to the idols.
Isaiah 42:9	Behold, the former things, they have come, and new [things] I am declaring—before they spring forth, I proclaim [them] to you⁺.”
Isaiah 42:10	Sing to YHWH a new song, His praise from the end of the earth—those going down [to] the sea, and all that is in it; the islands, and those dwelling in them.
Isaiah 42:11	Let the wilderness and its cities lift up, the villages [where] Kedar dwells; let those dwelling in Sela sing; let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isaiah 42:12	Let them give glory to YHWH and declare His praise in the islands.
Isaiah 42:13	YHWH goes forth like a mighty one; like a man of war He stirs up zeal. He shouts, yes, He roars; over His enemies He will prevail.
Isaiah 42:14	“I have been silent from ages past; I have been still and restrained Myself; like a woman in labor I will groan; I will gasp and pant at once.
Isaiah 42:15	I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and all their vegetation I will dry up; and I will turn the rivers into islands, and the pools I will dry up.
Isaiah 42:16	And the blind I will bring by a way they did not know; I will lead them by paths they have not known; I will turn the darkness before their faces into light, and the crooked places into level ground. These [are] the things I will do for them and I will not forsake them.
Isaiah 42:17	They will be turned back, they are utterly put to shame—those trusting in the idols, those saying to molten images, ‘You⁺ [are] are our gods.’
Isaiah 42:18	Listen, O deaf ones, and look O blind ones, in order to see.
Isaiah 42:19	Who [is] blind, but for My servant, or deaf like My messenger I am sending? Who [is] blind like Meshullam or blind like the servant of YHWH?
Isaiah 42:20	Seeing many things, you do not keep watch; opening the ears, and he does not hear.”
Isaiah 42:21	YHWH delights on account of His righteousness, to magnify the law and make it glorious.
Isaiah 42:22	And it [is] a people robbed and plundered; all of them are trapped in holes, or hidden in houses of prisoners. They have become a spoil with no rescue, a plunder and no one is saying, “Send [them] back!”
Isaiah 42:23	Who among you⁺ will give ear to this? [Who] will listen and obey hereafter?
Isaiah 42:24	Who gave Jacob as plunder and Israel to those plundering? Was it not YHWH, against whom we have sinned? And they were not willing to walk in His ways, and they would not obey His law.
Isaiah 42:25	And He poured out on him the heat of His nose and the fierceness of battle; and it has set him on fire all around, and he did not know [it], and it burned him, and he did not set [it] upon [his] heart.
Isaiah 43:1	And, thus says YHWH, the One creating you, O Jacob, and the One forming you, O Israel: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you, I have called [you] by your name; you [are] unto [Me].
Isaiah 43:2	When you pass through the waters, I [am] with you, and through the rivers, they will not engulf you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched; and the flame will not burn you.
Isaiah 43:3	For I, YHWH, [am] your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt [for] your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place.
Isaiah 43:4	Since you are precious in My eyes, You have been honored, and I love you. And I appoint man in place of you, and peoples in exchange for your soul.
Isaiah 43:5	Do not fear, for I [am] with you; from the east I will bring your seed, and from the west I will gather you.
Isaiah 43:6	I will say to the north, ‘Give! And to the south, ‘Restrain!’ Do not bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth—
Isaiah 43:7	all being called by My name—and for My glory I have created him; I have formed him; yes, I have made him!’”
Isaiah 43:8	Bring forth a people blind, and who have eyes, and deaf, and ears [are] unto them!
Isaiah 43:9	All the nations will be gathered together, and the peoples will be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and former things report to us? Let them give their witnesses, that they may be justified, and hear and say, “[It is] the truth.”
Isaiah 43:10	“You⁺ [are] My witnesses,” a declaration of YHWH, “And My servant whom I have chosen, that you⁺ may know and believe in Me, and understand that I [am] He. Before Me no god was formed, and none will be after Me.
Isaiah 43:11	I—I [am] YHWH, and besides Me there is no one saving.
Isaiah 43:12	I have declared [it] and saved and proclaimed, and there is no one strange among you⁺! And you⁺ [are] My witnesses,” a declaration of YHWH, “And I [am] God.
Isaiah 43:13	Also from today, I [am] He—and there is no one snatching from My hand; I act, and who can turn it back?”
Isaiah 43:14	Thus says YHWH, your⁺ Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your⁺ sake I will send to Babylon and bring them all down as fugitives, and the Chaldeans in the ships of their rejoicing.
Isaiah 43:15	I [am] YHWH, your⁺ Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your⁺ King.”
Isaiah 43:16	Thus says YHWH, the One giving a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Isaiah 43:17	the One bringing forth the chariot and horse, the army and [its] might together; they will lie down, [and] they will not rise; they are extinguished; like a wick they are quenched.
Isaiah 43:18	“Do not remember the former [things], and the [things] before do not consider.
Isaiah 43:19	Behold, I am doing a new [thing]; now it springs forth—do you⁺ not know it? Indeed I am making a way in the wilderness, streams in the wasteland.
Isaiah 43:20	The beast of the field will honor Me, the jackals and daughters of the ostrich, because I give waters in the wilderness, streams in the wasteland, to give drink [to] My people, My chosen,
Isaiah 43:21	this people I have formed for Myself—they will recount My praise.
Isaiah 43:22	And not Me you have called, O Jacob, for you have grown weary of Me, O Israel.
Isaiah 43:23	You have not brought to Me sheep as your burnt offerings, and with your sacrifices you have not honored Me; I have not made you serve with grain offerings, and I have not wearied you with incense.
Isaiah 43:24	You have not bought Me sweet cane with silver, and [with] the fat of your sacrifices you have not satisfied Me; but you have made Me serve with your sins [and] have wearied Me with your iniquities.
Isaiah 43:25	I—I [am] He, the One wiping out your transgressions for My own sake, and your sins I will not remember.
Isaiah 43:26	Remind Me, let us argue together; give an account [for] yourself, that you may be vindicated!
Isaiah 43:27	Your first father sinned, and your spokesmen have rebelled against me.
Isaiah 43:28	And I will defile the princes of the sanctuary, and I will devote Jacob to destruction, and Israel to reviling.”
Isaiah 44:1	And now listen, O Jacob My servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen!
Isaiah 44:2	Thus says YHWH, the One having made you and having formed you from the womb, who will help you: “Do not fear, My servant Jacob, and Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
Isaiah 44:3	For I will pour water upon a thirsty one, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring.
Isaiah 44:4	And they will sprout up among the grass, like willows by streams of water.
Isaiah 44:5	This one will say ‘I [am] unto YHWH and this one will call himself by the name of Jacob; and this one will write on his hand ‘Unto YHWH,’ and will address himself by the name of Israel.”
Isaiah 44:6	Thus says YHWH, the King of Israel and his Redeemer—YHWH of Hosts: “I [am] the First, and I [am] the Last, and besides Me there are no gods.
Isaiah 44:7	And who [is] like Me? Let him call and declare it, and arrange it for Me, from My putting forth the people of old, and the things to come and what is coming, let them declare [it] themselves!
Isaiah 44:8	Do not dread and do not be afraid! Have I not long ago reported [it] to you and declared [it]? And you⁺ [are] My witnesses: Is there a God besides Me? And there is no Rock—not one” I know.
Isaiah 44:9	Those fashioning an idol—all of them [are] nothing, and their delights cannot benefit. And their own witnesses, they cannot see, and they do not know, so they are put to shame.
Isaiah 44:10	Who would fashion a god, or cast an idol, that gives no benefit?
Isaiah 44:11	Behold, all its companions will be put to shame, and [its] craftsmen, [for] they [are] [are] of men. All of them, let them gather, let them take their stand; let them dread, let them be ashamed together!
Isaiah 44:12	The craftsman of iron [has] an ax and works over the coal, and with hammers he fashions [it], and works it with the strength of his arm. Even so he grows hungry, and [has] no strength; he does not drink water, and he becomes faint.
Isaiah 44:13	The craftsman of wood stretches out the measuring-line; he traces it with the stylus, he fashions it with the chisel, and he marks it out with the compass; he makes it like the figure of a man, like the splendor of mankind, that it may dwell in a house.
Isaiah 44:14	He cuts down for himself cedars and takes cypress and oak. And he gives strength to it among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir-tree, and the rain makes [it] grow,
Isaiah 44:15	and it is for man to burn. And he takes from it and warms himself; also he kindles a fire and bakes bread; also he makes a god and bows down to [it]; he makes it a carved image and falls down before it!
Isaiah 44:16	Half of it he burns in the fire, on half of it he eats meat; he roasts a roast and is satisfied; also, he warms [himself] and says, “Ah, I am warm, I have seen the fire!”
Isaiah 44:17	And the rest of it he makes into a god, as his idol; he bows down before it, and he bows down and prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you [are] my god!”
Isaiah 44:18	They do not know and they do not understand, for He has covered over their eyes from seeing, their hearts from understanding.
Isaiah 44:19	And no one turns [it] back to his heart, and there is no knowledge and no understanding to say, “Half of it I burned in the fire, and also I have baked bread on its coals [and] roasted meat, and I have eaten. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”
Isaiah 44:20	He grazes on ashes, a deceived heart has stretched him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, and he does not say, “Is not a lie in my right hand?”
Isaiah 44:21	Remember these [things], O Jacob, and Israel, for you [are] My servant. I have formed you, you [are] My servant, O Israel; you will not be forgotten by Me.
Isaiah 44:22	I have blotted out like a cloud your transgressions, and like a mist your sins; return to Me, for I have redeemed you.
Isaiah 44:23	Sing out, O heavens, for YHWH has done [it]! Give a shout,, O lower parts of the earth! Break forth O mountains, into singing, O forest and every tree in it. For YHWH has redeemed Jacob, and in Israel He has glorified Himself.
Isaiah 44:24	Thus says YHWH, your Redeemer, and the One forming you from the womb: “I [am] YHWH, the One making all things, the One stretching out the heavens by Myself alone, the One spreading out the earth—who besides Me—
Isaiah 44:25	breaking the omens of devisers, and making fools of those devining; the One turning the wise ones backward, and making their knowledge foolish;
Isaiah 44:26	the One making stand the word of His servant and fufilling the counsel of His messengers; the One saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited;’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, and her ruins I will raise up;’
Isaiah 44:27	the One saying to the deep, ‘Be dry, and your rivers I will dry up;’
Isaiah 44:28	the One saying of Cyrus, ‘[He is] My shepherd and all My delight he will fulfill,’ and saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and of the temple, ‘Let its foundation be laid.’”
Isaiah 45:1	Thus says YHWH to His anointed, to Cyrus, of whose right hand I have taken hold to subdue nations before his face; and I will open the loins of kings—to open doors before his face, so that the gates will not be shut:
Isaiah 45:2	“I will go before you, and I will level the mountains; the gates of bronze I will break apart, and the bars of iron I will cut through.
Isaiah 45:3	And I will give to you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, so that you may know that I [am] YHWH, the One calling [you] by your name, the God of Israel,
Isaiah 45:4	for the sake of My servant Jacob, and Israel My chosen one—and I have called you by your name; I give you a name, though you have not known Me.
Isaiah 45:5	I [am] YHWH, and there is no other; besides Me there are no gods. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
Isaiah 45:6	so that they may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides Me. I [am] YHWH, and there is no other—
Isaiah 45:7	forming the light and creating darkness, making peace and creating calamity—I [am] YHWH, the One doing all these [things]!
Isaiah 45:8	Rain down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open up, and let sprout up salvation and righteousness—let it spring up together! I, YHWH, have created it.
Isaiah 45:9	Woe [to] the one striving with the One having formed him—a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one fashioning it, ‘What are you doing? Or ‘Your work [has] no hands unto it!’?
Isaiah 45:10	Woe [to] the one saying to [his] father, ‘What are you begetting? Or to a woman, ‘What have you brought forth?”
Isaiah 45:11	Thus says YHWH, the Holy One of Israel, and the One having made him: “Will you⁺ ask Me of things to come? About My sons and about the work of My hands, will you⁺ command Me?
Isaiah 45:12	I have made the earth, and I have created man on it; My hands have stretched out the heavens, and all their host I have commanded!
Isaiah 45:13	I have stirred him up in righteousness, and all his ways I will make straight; he will build My city, and My captive ones he will send out, not for a price and not for a bribe, says YHWH of Hosts.”
Isaiah 45:14	Thus says YHWH: “The labor of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and of the Sabeans—men of stature—to you they will pass over, and unto you they will be. Behind you they will walk, in chains they will pass by, and to you they will bow down, to you they will plead: ‘Surely God [is] with you, and there is no other—only God!’”
Isaiah 45:15	Truly You [are] God, the hidden One, O God of Israel, the One saving!
Isaiah 45:16	They have been put to shame and also disgraced—all of them; together they will go forth in disgrace, the makers of idols.
Isaiah 45:17	Israel has been saved by YHWH, a salvation everlasting! You⁺ will not be put to shame and not disgraced, even to ages—everlasting!
Isaiah 45:18	For thus says YHWH, the One creating the heavens—He is God—the One forming the earth and making it—He has established it; not as a void did He create it; to be inhabited He formed it: “I [am] YHWH, and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:19	I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the land; I have not said to the seed of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in vain!’ I [am] YHWH, the One speaking righteousness, declaring uprightness.
Isaiah 45:20	Assemble yourselves and come, draw near together, O fugitives of the nations! They do not know [it], those carrying the wood of their idol and praying to a god [that] cannot save.
Isaiah 45:21	Declare [it] and approach, even let them take counsel together: Who has reported this from of old, from that time having declared it? Is it not I, YHWH? And [there is] no other God besides Me, and a righteous God bringing salvation [there is] none besides Me.
Isaiah 45:22	Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I [am] God, and there is no other.
Isaiah 45:23	By Myself I have sworn, righteousness has gone forth from My mouth, a word that not will turn back; indeed, before Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear.
Isaiah 45:24	‘Only in YHWH—of Me He said—[are] righteousness and strength!’” They will come to Him and will be ashamed, all those raging against Him.
Isaiah 45:25	In YHWH all the seed of Israel will be justified and will glory.
Isaiah 46:1	Bel bows down, Nebo is stooping low; their idols are on the beasts and on the cattle, [these] carried by you⁺ [were] heavy laden a burden to the weary.
Isaiah 46:2	They stoop low, they bend down together; they could not deliver the burden, and their souls have gone into captivity.
Isaiah 46:3	“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, those having been upheld from birth, having been carried from the womb:
Isaiah 46:4	Even to [your] old age, I [am] He; and until gray hair, I will will bear [you] up; I have done [it]—and I will lift, and I will bear and will deliver [you].
Isaiah 46:5	To whom will you⁺ liken Me and make [Me] equal and compare Me, that we should be alike?
Isaiah 46:6	Those lavishing gold from the bag and weighing silver on the scales, they hire a goldsmith, that he might make it a god. They bow low, even bow down;
Isaiah 46:7	they bear it on a shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands—from its place it will not move; though one may cry out to it, and it will not answer; from his distress it will not save him.
Isaiah 46:8	Remember this and be men; take [it] back, O transgressors, to heart!
Isaiah 46:9	Remember the former [things] of old: For I [am] God, and there is no other; [I am] God, and none [is] like Me—
Isaiah 46:10	declaring from the beginning the end, and from of old that which has not been done, saying, ‘My counsel will stand, and I will do all My delight;’
Isaiah 46:11	the One calling from the east a bird of prey, the man of My counsel from a country far away—indeed, I have spoken [it] [and] so I will bring it to pass; I have fashioned [it], I will also do it.
Isaiah 46:12	Listen to Me, O obstinate of heart, far from righteousness!
Isaiah 46:13	I have brought near My righteousness; it is not far off; and My salvation—it will not be delayed; and I have given to Zion salvation, to Israel My splendor.
Isaiah 47:1	[“] Go down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon! Sit on the ground without a throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For no longer will they call you tender and delicate.
Isaiah 47:2	Take the millstones and grind flour! Uncover your veil [and] strip away [your] skirt; uncover [your] thigh; pass over the rivers!
Isaiah 47:3	Your nakedness will be uncovered—indeed, your shame will be seen! I will take vengeance, and no man will I meet.”
Isaiah 47:4	Our Redeemer—YHWH of hosts [is] His name—[is] the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 47:5	“Sit in silence and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans! For you no longer will be called Queen of Kingdoms.
Isaiah 47:6	I was angry with My people; I have profaned My heritage and I have given them into your hand. You did not appoint for them acts of mercy; upon the elderly you made your yoke very heavy.
Isaiah 47:7	And you said, ‘Forever will I be, queen!’ For you did not set these [things] upon [your] heart, and you did not consider its end.
Isaiah 47:8	And now, hear this, O luxurious one, dwelling in security, the one saying in her heart, ‘[It is] I and no one else! I will not sit [as] a widow, and I will not know bereavement.’
Isaiah 47:9	And these two things will come to you in a moment, in a single day: Bereavement and widowhood. In full measure they will come upon you in the multitude of your sorceries, in the great abundance of you spells.
Isaiah 47:10	For you have trusted in your wickedness; and you have said, ‘There is none seeing me!’ Your wisdom and your knowledge, it has turned you away, so that you have said in your heart, ‘[It is] I, and no one else!’
Isaiah 47:11	And evil will come upon you, [and] you will not know its dawning; and disaster will fall upon you; you will not be able to wipe it away—and it will come upon you suddenly, devastation [that] you do not know!
Isaiah 47:12	Stand now with your spells, and with the multitude of your sorceries with which you have labored from your youth! Perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you will inspire terror!
Isaiah 47:13	You are wearied by the multitude of your counselors; let them stand up now and save you—those who divide up the heavens, and those gazing on the stars, declaring by month what will come upon you!
Isaiah 47:14	Behold, they have become like stubble, [and] the fire burns them [up]; they will not deliver their soul from the hand of the flame—[there is] not a coal to warm, [nor] fire to sit before it!
Isaiah 47:15	Thus they have become to you—those [with] whom you have labored and traded from youth! Each man in his direction, they go astray; none can save you.
Isaiah 48:1	[“] Hear this, O house of Jacob, those being called by the name of Israel and having come forth from the wellsprings of Judah, and those swearing by the name of YHWH and calling to mind the God of Israel, not in truth and not in righteousness!
Isaiah 48:2	Indeed, they have been called from the city of holiness, and upon the God of Israel they have leaned—YHWH of Hosts [is] His name.
Isaiah 48:3	The former [things] of old I have declared, and from My mouth they went forth, and I caused them to be heard—I acted suddenly, and they came [to pass].
Isaiah 48:4	From my knowing that you [are] obstinate, and your neck [is] an iron sinew, and your forehead bronze,
Isaiah 48:5	and I declared to you from then, before it came to pass; I informed you, lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them, and my carved image and my molten image has commanded them!’
Isaiah 48:6	You have heard—see all of it—and will you⁺ not declare [it]? I make you to hear new things from now, and hidden things that you did not know.
Isaiah 48:7	Now they have been created, and not from then; and before this day, and you did not hear of them, lest you should say, ‘Behold, I knew them.’
Isaiah 48:8	Indeed, you have not heard; indeed you have not known; even from [long] ago your ear was not opened; for I knew [that] you would be utterly treacherous,, and ‘one rebelling from the womb’ is it called out for you.
Isaiah 48:9	For the sake of My name, I will lengthen My nose, and [for] My praise I will hold it back from you, so as to not cut you off.
Isaiah 48:10	Behold, I have refined you, and not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
Isaiah 48:11	For My own sake, My very own sake, I will act—for how can I let Myself be profaned! And My glory I will give not to another.
Isaiah 48:12	Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called one! I [am] He; I [am] the First; also I [am] the Last.
Isaiah 48:13	Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; I call to them; they stand up together.
Isaiah 48:14	Assemble, all of you⁺, and hear! Who among them has declared these [things]? YHWH has loved him; He will accomplish His desire against Babylon, and His arm against the Chaldeans.
Isaiah 48:15	I, I have spoken, yes, I have called him; I have brought him and he has made prosperous his way.
Isaiah 48:16	Come near to Me, hear this! From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time of its coming to be, there” I [am]. And now, the Lord YHWH has sent me, and His Spirit.
Isaiah 48:17	Thus says YHWH your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I [am] YHWH your God the One teaching you to profit, the One leading you by the way you should go.
Isaiah 48:18	If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
Isaiah 48:19	and your seed would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like its grains. [It] would not have been cut off and not destroyed—His name from before Me!”
Isaiah 48:20	Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice ringing out, declare [it], let this be heard; let it go forth to the end of the earth! Say, “YHWH has redeemed His servant Jacob.”
Isaiah 48:21	And they did not thirst in the deserts when He led them; He made flow the waters from the rock for them, and He split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
Isaiah 48:22	“There is no peace,” says YHWH, “For the wicked.”
Isaiah 49:1	Listen, O islands, to me, and pay attention, O peoples from afar! YHWH has called me from the womb, from the bowels of my mother He has brought to mind my name.
Isaiah 49:2	And He set my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden me; and He set me as a polished arrow; in His quiver He has concealed me.
Isaiah 49:3	And He said to me: “You [are] My servant, O Israel; in whom I will be glorified.”

Isaiah 50:2	Why, did I come, and [there was] no man? [Why] did I call, and there was no one answering? [Is] My hand too short to redeem? Or is there not in Me power to deliver? Behold, by My rebuke I dry up the sea; I make the rivers a desert—their fish stink for lack of water and die of thirst.

Isaiah 52:15	so He will sprinkle many nations. Kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what had not been recounted to them, they will see, and what they had not heard, they will understand.
Isaiah 53:1	Who has believed in our report? And the arm of YHWH—to whom has it been revealed?

Isaiah 55:1	“Come, everyone [who is] thirsty—come to the waters; and who [is] without silver unto him—let them come, buy, and let them come and eat, [and] buy without silver and without price, wine and milk.
Isaiah 55:2	Why do you⁺ weigh out silver for [what is] not bread, and your⁺ wages for [what is] not satisfaction? Listen carefully to Me, and eat [what is] good, and let your⁺ soul delight in the richness.
Isaiah 55:3	Incline your⁺ ear and come to Me! Listen, that your⁺ soul with you⁺ may live; and I will make a covenant forever, the loving devotion promised to David.

Isaiah 56:3	Let no son of the foreigner [who] has joined himself to YHWH speak, saying, “YHWH will surely separate me from His people.” And let the eunuch not say, “Behold, I [am] a dry tree.”
Isaiah 56:4	For thus says YHWH: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what I delight in, and hold fast to My covenant:
Isaiah 56:5	And will I give to them in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than sons and daughters—an everlasting name I will give to them, that will not be cut off.
Isaiah 56:6	And the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to YHWH to serve Him and to love the name of YHWH, to be His servants, all keeping the Sabbath from being profaned and holding firmly to My covenant,
Isaiah 56:7	even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and I will make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on My altar; for My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations.”

Isaiah 56:9	Every beast [of] the field, come to devour—every beast in the forest!
Isaiah 56:10	His watchmen [are] blind—all of them! They do not know; all of them [are] mute dogs, they are not able to bark, dreaming lying down, loving to sleep.
Isaiah 56:11	And these dogs [are] strong of appetite; they do not know satisfaction; and they [are] shepherds not knowing discernment; they all turn to their own way, each man for his own gain from his quarter.
Isaiah 56:12	“Come, I will bring wine, and let us imbibe the strong drink; and this day will be like tomorrow—great—exceedingly abundant.”

Isaiah 57:4	Against whom are you⁺ mocking? Against whom do you⁺ make wide the mouth [and] stick out the tongue? [Are] you⁺ not children of transgression, seed of deception—
Isaiah 57:5	those warming themselves among the Oaks, under every green tree, slaughtering the sons in the valleys, under the clefts of the cliffs?
Isaiah 57:6	Among the smooth things of the valley [is] your portion; they—they [are] your lot! Even to them you have poured out a drink offering, having offered up a grain offering. Should I relent over these?
Isaiah 57:7	Upon a mountain high and lifted up you have set your bed; also you went up there to offer sacrifice.
Isaiah 57:8	And behind the door and the post you have set up your memorial; for away from me you uncovered yourself and went up; you widened your bed, and cut for yourself with them. You have loved their bed; you have gazed upon a hand!
Isaiah 57:9	And you went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes, and you sent your envoys even to far away; you have descended even to Sheol.
Isaiah 57:10	In the greatness of your journeying you were weary; you did not say “It is hopeless.” The life of your hand you have found; upon thus you did not weaken.
Isaiah 57:11	And of whom were you in fear and were afraid, that you would lie? And you have not remembered Me, and you did not take [it] upon your heart. And I have not been silent from old, and Me you did not fear?
Isaiah 57:12	I will declare your righteousness and your deeds, and they will not profit you.
Isaiah 57:13	In your crying out, let your gathered ones deliver you; but the wind will carry them all away; vanity will take him. And the one taking refuge in Me will inherit the land and will possess My holy mountain.”
Isaiah 57:14	And He said: “Build up, build up, clear the way, take up the stumbling block from the way of My people.”
Isaiah 57:15	For thus says the One High and Lifted up, dwelling [in] eternity—and Holy His name: “On high and holy I dwell, with the broken and lowly of spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly ones, and to revive the heart of the broken ones.
Isaiah 57:16	For I will not contend forever, and I will not be angry to the end. For the spirit from before My face would turn aside, and the souls I have made.
Isaiah 57:17	With the iniquity of his gain I was angry, and I struck him; I hid and was angry. And he went on, turning back in the way of his heart.
Isaiah 57:18	His ways I have seen, and I will heal him, and I will lead him and restore comforts to him and to his mourners,
Isaiah 57:19	creating the fruit of the lips. “Peace, peace to the far off one and to the near one, and I will heal him.” Says YHWH.
Isaiah 57:20	And the wicked [are] like the driven sea, for it is not able to be quiet, and its waters churn up mud and mire.

Isaiah 58:1	“Call out from the throat, do not hold back! Like a shofar lift up your voice, and declare to My people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Isaiah 58:2	And day by day they seek Me, and they delight to know My ways, like a nation that does righteousness, and the justice of their God they do not forsake! They ask me for judgments of righteousness; in the nearness of God they delight:
Isaiah 58:3	“Why have we fasted and You have not seen—we have afflicted our soul, and You have not noticed?” “Behold, on the day of your⁺ fast you⁺ find pleasure, and you⁺ oppress all your⁺ laborers!
Isaiah 58:4	Behold, for quarreling and strife you⁺ fast, and for striking with the fist of wickedness. You⁺ shall not fast like this day to make heard your⁺ voice on high.
Isaiah 58:5	Is it like this, the fast I choose? A day for a man to afflict his soul, for bowing down his head like a reed, and spreading out sackcloth and ashes—do you call this a fast, and a day of pleasure for YHWH?
Isaiah 58:6	Is not this the fast I choose: To open the bonds of wickedness, to untie the cords of the yoke, and to send forth the crushed ones free, and tear off every yoke?
Isaiah 58:7	Is [it] not to distribute your bread to the hungry, and the wandering the poor you should bring into the house; when you see one naked then clothe him, and do not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Isaiah 58:8	Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will sprout quickly, and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of YHWH will gather behind you.
Isaiah 58:9	Then you will call, and YHWH will answer; you will cry out, and He will say, ‘Here I [am]! If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and the speaking of wickedness,
Isaiah 58:10	and [if] you extend to the hungry your soul, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your darkness [will be] like the noonday.
Isaiah 58:11	And YHWH will guide you continually, and will satisfy your soul in scorched lands, and He will strengthen your bones; and you will be watered like a garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters never fail.
Isaiah 58:12	And some of you will rebuild the ruins of old; you will raise up the foundations of generation and generation, and you will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of the Streets of Dwelling.
Isaiah 58:13	If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, doing your pleasure on My holy day, and [if] you call the Sabbath a delight, holy of YHWH, honored, and [if] you honor it above doing your own ways above finding your own delight and speaking a word,
Isaiah 58:14	then you will delight yourself in YHWH; and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and I will feed you the inheritance of Jacob your father.” For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.
Isaiah 59:1	Behold, the hand of YHWH is not shortened from saving, and his ear is not heavy from hearing.
Isaiah 59:2	For but your⁺ iniquities [that] have been causing separation for you⁺ from your⁺ God, and your⁺ sins have hidden the Face from you⁺, away from hearing.
Isaiah 59:3	For your⁺ hands are defiled with blood, and your⁺ fingers with iniquity; your⁺ lips have spoken falsehood; your⁺ tongue mutters injustice.
Isaiah 59:4	No one calls for justice, and no one pleads his case in truth, trusting in emptiness, and speaking vanity, conceiving trouble, and birthing iniquity.
Isaiah 59:5	They have hatched eggs of a viper, and they weave the web of a spider; the one eating of their eggs dies, and [from] the crushed one breaks out a viper!
Isaiah 59:6	Their webs will not become garments, and they cannot cover themselves with their works; their works [are] works of iniquity, and a deed of violence [is] in their hands.
Isaiah 59:7	Their feet run to evil, and they hurry to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts [are] thoughts of iniquity—ruin and destruction [are] in their paths!

Isaiah 65:3	the people provoking Me to my face continually, offering sacrifices in the gardens and burning incense on the bricks,
Isaiah 65:4	sitting among the graves and spending nights in lookouts, those eating the flesh of swine and the broth of of abominations [in] their vessels;
Isaiah 65:5	those saying, ‘Keep yourself away; do not come near to me, for I am set apart [from] you’—these [are] smoke in My nostrils, a fire burning all the day!
Isaiah 65:6	Behold, it is written before My face, [and] I will not keep silent, but I will repay, and I will pay it back into their bosom,

Isaiah 65:16	that one blessing himself in the land will bless himself by the God of truth, and the one swearing in the land will swear by the God of truth; for the former troubles will be forgotten, for they will be hidden from My eyes.
Isaiah 65:17	For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth; and the former [things] will not be remembered, and they will not come up upon the heart.

Isaiah 66:3	The one slaughtering an ox strikes down a man; the one sacrificing a lamb breaks the neck a dog; the one offering a grain offering offers the blood of a pig; the one burning incense blesses an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations,

Isaiah 66:5	“Hear the word of YHWH, [you who] tremble at His word! Your⁺ brothers who hate you⁺ [and] cast you⁺ out for the sake of My name have said, ‘Let YHWH be glorified, that we might look on your⁺ joy!’ And they will be put to shame.”

Isaiah 66:9	Will I break open and not deliver?” Says YHWH: “Or will I, cause to bring forth, and shut up?” Says your God.
Isaiah 66:10	Be glad with Jerusalem, and rejoice in her all those loving her! Rejoice with her [for] joy, all those mourning over her,
Isaiah 66:11	so that you⁺ may nurse and be satisfied from the breast of her consolation, that you⁺ may drink deeply and delight yourself from the abundance of her glory.
Isaiah 66:12	For thus says YHWH: “Behold I [am] stretching out to her peace like a river, and flowing like a stream the glory of the nations; and you⁺ will nurse, at her side you⁺ will be carried, and on [her] knees you⁺ will be dandled.
Isaiah 66:13	As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you⁺, and in Jerusalem” you⁺ will find comfort.

Jeremiah 2:17	Have you not done this to yourself, [by] your forsaking YHWH your God in the time He led you in the way?
Jeremiah 2:18	And now, what [is] unto you in the way of Egypt—to drink the waters of Shihor? Or what [is] unto you in the way of Assyria—to drink the waters of the River?
Jeremiah 2:19	Your own evil will discipline you, and your turning away will rebuke you. Know then and see that [it is] evil and bitter, your forsaking YHWH your God! And the fear of Me [is] not in you,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH of Hosts.
Jeremiah 2:20	“For from long ago I have broken your yoke, and torn off your bonds. And you said, I will not serve!’ For on every high hill and under every green tree you lay down as a prostitute.
Jeremiah 2:21	And I had planted you [as] a vine, all of it a true seed. How then did you turn before Me into degenerates [of a] strange vine?
Jeremiah 2:22	For though you wash with lye, and use for yourself much soap, your iniquity is a stain before My face,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Jeremiah 2:23	How can you say, ‘I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baals’? See your way in the valley; know what you have done—a swift young she-camel entangling her ways,
Jeremiah 2:24	a wild donkey, a pupil of the wilderness, sniffing the wind of her desire; in her heat, who can turn her away? All those seeking her will not weary themselves; in her month, they will find her.
Jeremiah 2:25	“Withhold your foot from [being] bare, and your throat from thirst: And you said, ‘[It is] hopeless! No, for I have loved strangers, and after them I shall go.’
Jeremiah 2:26	“Like the shame of a thief when he is found, so the house of Israel is ashamed—they, and their kings, and their princes, and their priests, and their prophets—
Jeremiah 2:27	saying to a tree, ‘You [are] my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned the nape to Me, and not the faces; but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us.’
Jeremiah 2:28	“And where [are] your gods that you made for yourselves? Let them stand up, if they can save you in the time of your trouble! For [as] the number of your cities, are your gods, O Judah.
Jeremiah 2:29	Why do you⁺ contend with Me? You⁺ all have transgressed against Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 2:30	“In vain I have struck your⁺ sons; they accepted no discipline, and your⁺ own sword has devoured your⁺ prophets like a destroying lion.”
Jeremiah 2:31	“O generation, consider you⁺ the word of YHWH. “Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, ‘We are lords; we will not come to You anymore?’
Jeremiah 2:32	Can a virgin forget her jewelry, [or] a bride her sashes? And My people have forgotten Me for days without number.
Jeremiah 2:33	“Why do you beautify your way to seek love? So even the wicked you have taught your ways.
Jeremiah 2:34	“Also on your skirts is found the blood of innocent needy souls—[and] not breaking in did you find them! But in spite of all these things,
Jeremiah 2:35	you also say ‘Because I am innocent, surely His anger has turned away from me.’ Behold, I will plead with you, because you say, ‘I have not sinned.’
Jeremiah 2:36	“Why you go about so so much, changing your way? You are even put to shame by Egypt, as you were put to shame by Assyria.
Jeremiah 2:37	“Indeed you will go forth from this place, and with your hands on your head; for YHWH has rejected those you trust, and you shall not prosper in them.”
Jeremiah 3:1	They say, “If a man divorces his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man’s, can he return to her again? Shall not that land be completely defiled? And you have played the harlot with many lovers, and yet return to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 3:2	“Lift up your eyes to the barren heights and see; where have you not been violated? Along the pathway you have sat for them, like an Arabian in the desert, and you have defiled the land with your prostitution and with your evil.
Jeremiah 3:3	And the showers have been withheld, and the spring rain has not come; and yet you had a whorish woman’s forehead; you refuse to be ashamed.
Jeremiah 3:4	Have you not from now called out to Me, ‘My Father, You [are] the companion of my youth?
Jeremiah 3:5	‘Will He keep [it] forever, or will He keep [it] to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken, and have done the evils as you could.”
Jeremiah 3:6	And YHWH said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high hill and under every green tree to prostitute herself there.
Jeremiah 3:7	And I said, after her doing all these [things], she will return to Me. And she did not return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Jeremiah 3:8	And she saw that, in spite of all the causes for which backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had sent her away, and had given a writ of divorce to her, and her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, and she went and also she prostituted herself.
Jeremiah 3:9	And it came to pass from the thoughtlessness of her prostitution, that she even defiled the land, and she committed adultery with stones and with trees!
Jeremiah 3:10	Yet in all this, her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but only falsely,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 3:11	And YHWH said to me, “Backsliding Israel has proven herself [more] righteous than treacheous Judah.
Jeremiah 3:12	Go and proclaim these words to the north, and say: ‘Return, O backsliding Israel!’ A declaration of YHWH. ‘I will not cause My face to fall on you⁺, for I [am] merciful,’ a declaration of YHWH. ‘I will not keep [it] forever.
Jeremiah 3:13	Only acknowledge your iniquity, that against YHWH your God you have transgressed, and you have scattered your ways to strangers under every green tree, and you⁺ have not listened to My voice!’” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 3:14	“Return, backsliding sons!” A declaration of YHWH. “For I am married to you⁺, and I will take you⁺ one from a city, and two from a family, and I will bring you⁺ [to] Zion.
Jeremiah 3:15	And I will give to you⁺ shepherds according to My heart, and they will shepherd you⁺ [with] knowledge and understanding.”
Jeremiah 3:16	“And it will come to pass, when you⁺ have multiplied and increased in the land, in those days,” says YHWH, “[That] they will not say anymore, ‘The ark of the covenant of YHWH, and it shall not come upon the heart, and they will not remember it, and they will not attend to [it]—and another will not be made.
Jeremiah 3:17	At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘Throne of YHWH,’ and all the nations will be gathered to her, to the name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, and they will not go anymore after the stubborness of their evil hearts.
Jeremiah 3:18	In those days the house of Judah will walk alongside the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I have given as an inheritance to your⁺ fathers.
Jeremiah 3:19	and I said, ‘How I would set you among the sons and give to you a pleasant land, the most beautiful heritage of the beauty of the nations!’ And I said, ‘You will call Me My Father, and from Me not turn away.
Jeremiah 3:20	As surely as a wife treacherously departs from her husband, so have you⁺ dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel!” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 3:21	A voice on the barren heights is heard, the weeping [and] pleadings of the sons of Israel. For they have perverted their way; they have forgotten YHWH their God.
Jeremiah 3:22	“Return, O backsliding sons, I will heal your⁺ backsliding.” “Behold, we do come to You, for You [are] YHWH our God.
Jeremiah 3:23	Truly in vain [is salvation hoped for] from the hills, [And from] the multitude of mountains! Truly in YHWH our God [is] the salvation of Israel.
Jeremiah 3:24	And the shame has devoured the labor of our fathers from our youth—their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Jeremiah 3:25	Let us lie down and let our shame, and let our disgrace cover us; for we have sinned against YHWH our God, we and our fathers, from our youth and to this day, and we have not listened to the voice of YHWH our God.
Jeremiah 4:1	“If you would return, O Israel, a declaration of YHWH, to Me you must return!” And if you will put away your abominations from My sight, and no longer waver,
Jeremiah 4:2	and you swear, ‘As YHWH’ lives, in truth, in justice, and in righteousness, then the nations shall bless themselves in Him, and in Him they shall glory.”
Jeremiah 4:3	For thus says YHWH to the men of Judah and Jerusalem: “Break up for yourself the unplowed ground, and do not sow among thorns.
Jeremiah 4:4	Circumcise yourselves to YHWH, and turn aside the foreskins of your⁺ heart, O men of Judah and dwellers of Jerusalem, lest My fury should go forth like the fire and burn—with no one to extinguish it—from the face of the evil of your⁺ deeds!”
Jeremiah 4:5	Declare in Judah and in Jerusalem! Proclaim and say, “Blow the shofar in the land; call out, gather together, and say: ‘Assemble, and let us go into the fortified cities!’
Jeremiah 4:6	Lift up the standard toward Zion! Seek refuge; do not delay! For I am bringing disaster from the north, and great destruction.
Jeremiah 4:7	A lion has come up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations has set out! He has gone forth from his place to make your land into a desolation; your cities will be in ruins, without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 4:8	Upon thus gird yourselves with sackcloth; lament and wail! For the burning of the anger of YHWH has not turned back from us.”
Jeremiah 4:9	“And it will come to pass in that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “[That] the heart of the king will perish, and the heart of the princes and shall be devastated; the priests and the prophets will be astounded.”
Jeremiah 4:10	And I said, “Ah, my Lord YHWH! Truly You have greatly decieved this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘There shall be peace for You⁺,’ and the sword reaches as far as the soul.
Jeremiah 4:11	At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: “A dry wind from the barren heights of the wilderness [is] toward the way of the daughter of My people, not to winnow and not to cleanse—
Jeremiah 4:12	a wind more full than these will come to Me! Even now I speak judgments against them.”
Jeremiah 4:13	Behold, like clouds he shall come up, and his chariots like a whirlwind; his horses are swifter than eagles! Woe to us, for we are ruined!
Jeremiah 4:14	O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil, that you may be saved. How long shall wicked thoughts lodge within you?
Jeremiah 4:15	For a voice declares from Dan and proclaims affliction from Mount Ephraim.
Jeremiah 4:16	Make mention to the nations—behold, proclaim over Jerusalem: “Besiegers are coming from a land far away, and they will raise their voice against the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 4:17	Like those guarding a field, they will be against her all around, because she has rebelled against Me!” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 4:18	“Your way and your deeds have made these [things] for you. This [is] your evil—how bitter [it is], how it reaches as far as your heart!”
Jeremiah 4:19	My bowels, my bowels, I writhe in pain, in the walls heart! My heart is roaring within me, I cannot keep silent, for my soul does hear the voice of the shofar, the shout of war.
Jeremiah 4:20	Destruction upon destruction is called out; for all the land is brought to ruin! Suddenly my tents are left in ruins, [and] my curtains [in] a moment.
Jeremiah 4:21	How long will I see the standard, [and] hear the voice of the shofar?
Jeremiah 4:22	“For My people [are] foolish—they have not known Me! They [are] foolish children, and they have no understanding! They [are] wise to do evil, and to do good they do not know.
Jeremiah 4:23	I looked [upon] the earth, and behold—[it was] formless and void; and to the heavens, and there was no light [in] them.
Jeremiah 4:24	I looked [upon] the mountains, and behold—they [began] shaking, and all the hills were swaying.
Jeremiah 4:25	I looked, and behold—there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled.
Jeremiah 4:26	I looked, and behold—the fertile land [was] a desert, and all its cities were torn down, before YHWH, before the face of the fury of his nose!
Jeremiah 4:27	For thus says YHWH: “All the land will be a desolation; and I will not make a full end.
Jeremiah 4:28	For the earth will mourn, and the heavens above will grow dark; for I have spoken, I have planned, and I will not repent, and I will not turn back from it.”
Jeremiah 4:29	From the voice of the horsemen and the bowman every city is fleeing! They will go into thickets, and go up into the rocks; every city is forsaken, and there is not a man dwelling in them.
Jeremiah 4:30	And you, O devastated one, what are you doing, that you clothe yourself with crimson, that you adorn with ornaments of gold, that you tear open your eyes with paint? In vain you beautify yourself; [for] you have rejected the ones lusting; they seek your life!
Jeremiah 4:31	For I have heard a voice like a woman in labor, distress like one bearing her first child—the voice of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath; she spreads out her hands: “Woe now to me! For my soul has grown faint before those killing.”
Jeremiah 5:1	“Roam about in the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and take note! And seek in her open squares [to see] if you⁺ can find a man, if there be any doing justice [and] seeking the truth, and I will grant forgiveness to her.
Jeremiah 5:2	And if they say ‘As YHWH’ lives,’ surely they swear to a falsehood.”
Jeremiah 5:3	O YHWH, [are] not Your eyes on the truth? You have struck them, and they have not grieved; You have finished them off; they have refused to receive discipline. They have made their faces harder than rock; they have refused to turn back.
Jeremiah 5:4	And I said, “Surely these [are] poor; they are foolish, for they do not know the way of YHWH, the justice of their God.
Jeremiah 5:5	I shall go Myself to the great ones, and will speak to them, for they have known the way of YHWH, the justice of their God.” But they have broken the yoke as one; they have drawn away the bonds.
Jeremiah 5:6	Therefore a lion will strike them down from the forest, a wolf of the desert plains will ravage them; a leopard is keeping watch over their cities—therefore all going out from them will be torn apart, because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are numerous!
Jeremiah 5:7	“How can I grant forgiveness to you for this? Your sons have forsaken Me and have sworn by those not gods. And I satisfied them, and they committed adultery, and [in] the houses of a harlot they gather themselves together.
Jeremiah 5:8	They were well-fed lusting horses—each man neighing after the wife of his neighbor.
Jeremiah 5:9	Should I not punish over these [things],” a declaration of YHWH, “And shall not My soul avenge itself on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah 5:10	Go up among her vine-rows, and ravage them! You shall not make a full end. And take away her branches, for they [are] not of YHWH.
Jeremiah 5:11	For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly treacherous with Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 5:12	They have lied about YHWH and said, “[It is] not He! And neither will evil come upon us, and we shall not see sword or famine.
Jeremiah 5:13	And the prophets will become as wind; and for the word is not in them; thus shall it be done to them.
Jeremiah 5:14	Therefore, thus says YHWH God of Hosts: “Because you⁺ speak this word, behold, I will make My words into a fire in your mouth, and this people the wood, and it shall devour them!
Jeremiah 5:15	Behold, I am bringing against you⁺ a nation from afar, O house of Israel,” a declaration of YHWH. “It [is] an enduring nation, it [is] an ancient nation, a nation [whose] tongue you do not know, and you do not understand what they say.
Jeremiah 5:16	Its quiver is kept open like a grave, all of them [are] mighty [men].
Jeremiah 5:17	And it will consume your harvest and your bread; they will consume your sons and daughters, it will consume your flock and your herd, it will consume your vine and your fig tree; it will beat down with the sword your fortified cities, which you are trusting in them.”
Jeremiah 5:18	“And even, in those days,” a declaration of YHWH, “I will not make of you⁺ a complete [end].
Jeremiah 5:19	And it will come to pass when you⁺ say, ‘For what has YHWH our God done all these [things] to us?’ Then you shall say to them: ‘As you⁺ have forsaken Me and have served foreign gods in your⁺ land, so you⁺ shall serve strangers in a land not unto you⁺.’”
Jeremiah 5:20	Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying:
Jeremiah 5:21	“Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; unto them [are] eyes, and they do not see, unto them [are] ears, and they do not hear.
Jeremiah 5:22	Do you not fear Me?” A declaration of YHWH. “Or will you⁺ not tremble before My face? For I have placed the sand [as] the boundary of the sea, a decree forever that it should not cross over it; and they may shake about, and they cannot prevail, and though its waves roar, yet they shall not pass over it.
Jeremiah 5:23	And for this people there is a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and gone away,
Jeremiah 5:24	and they do not say in their heart, ‘Let us now fear YHWH our God, the One giving rain, the spring rain, and the autumn rain in its season, [and] the weeks appointed for the harvest He keeps for us.
Jeremiah 5:25	Your⁺ iniquities have stretched away these [things], and your⁺ sins have withheld the good from you⁺.
Jeremiah 5:26	For wicked ones are found among My people; they keep watch like crouching fowlers; they set a trap; they capture men.
Jeremiah 5:27	Like a cage full of birds, so their houses [are] full of deceit; upon thus they have become great and grown rich,
Jeremiah 5:28	they have grown fat; they are sleek. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked; they do not judge justly the cause of the fatherless, and they prosper, and the justice of the needy ones they have not vindicated.
Jeremiah 5:29	Shall I not punish for these [things]?” A declaration of YHWH, “Should not My soul avenge itself against a nation such as this?
Jeremiah 5:30	An appalling and horrible [thing] has happened in the land:
Jeremiah 5:31	The prophets prophesy with deception, and the priests rule by their own hands; and My people love it so, and what will you⁺ do in the end?
Jeremiah 6:1	[“] Seek refuge, O sons of Benjamin, from the midst of Jerusalem! And in Tekoa blow the shofar, and in in Beth-haccherem lift up a signal, for disaster looks down from the north, even great destruction!
Jeremiah 6:2	Though a beautiful and delicate woman, I will destroy the daughter of Zion!
Jeremiah 6:3	The shepherds and their flocks shall come to her, [and] they shall pitch the tents against her all around; they shall pasture, each man with his own hand.
Jeremiah 6:4	‘Be sanctified for war against her! Arise, and let us go up at noon! Woe to us, for the day turns away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out!
Jeremiah 6:5	Arise and let us go up in the night, and let us destroy her fortresses!’”
Jeremiah 6:6	For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Cut down trees, and pour out against Jerusalem a siege mound! She [is] the city to be punished, in her midst all of her of oppression.
Jeremiah 6:7	As a fountain wells up with water, so she has dug up her evil; violence and destruction are heard in her, before My face continually [are] sickness and wounds.
Jeremiah 6:8	Be warned, O Jerusalem, lest My soul should separate from you, lest I make you a desolation, a land not inhabited.”
Jeremiah 6:9	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine—turn back your hand like a grape-gatherer over the branches!”
Jeremiah 6:10	To whom shall I speak and testify, that they may hear? Behold, their ear [is] uncircumcised, and they are not able to hear. Behold, the word of YHWH is a reproach to them—they do not take delight in it!
Jeremiah 6:11	Therefore I am full [of] the fury of YHWH—I grow weary of holding [it] in! “Pour [it] out on the sons outside, and on the assembly of young men together! For even the husband with [his] wife will be captured, the aged with the one full of days.
Jeremiah 6:12	And their houses will be turned over to others, the fields and wives together. For I will stretch out My hand against those dwelling in the land!” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 6:13	“For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them, everyone is gaining dishonest gain; and from the prophet even to the priest, everyone is dealing falsely.
Jeremiah 6:14	And they have healed the breach of My people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ And [there is] no peace.
Jeremiah 6:15	Were they ashamed when they did an abomination? No, they were not in any way ashamed—they did not even know how to blush! Therefore they shall fall among those falling; at the time I visit them, they will stumble,” says YHWH.
Jeremiah 6:16	Thus says YHWH: “Stand along the pathways, and see; and ask for the old paths, ‘Where [is] this good way,’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your⁺ souls. And they said, ‘We will not walk!’
Jeremiah 6:17	And I set over you⁺ watchmen: ‘Listen to the voice of the shofar!’ And they said, ‘We will not listen.’
Jeremiah 6:18	Therefore hear, O nations, and know, O congregation, what [is] among them.
Jeremiah 6:19	Hear, O earth! Behold, I am bringing evil upon this people—the fruit of their thoughts!—Because they have paid no attention to My words; and My law, they have rejected it.
Jeremiah 6:20	For what [is] this to Me, the frankincense [that] comes from Sheba and the sweet cane from a land far away? Your⁺ burnt offerings are not acceptable, and your⁺ sacrifices are not sweet to Me.”
Jeremiah 6:21	Therefore thus says YHWH: “Behold, I am giving to this people stumbling blocks, and the fathers and the sons together will stumble over them; and the neighbor and his companion will perish!”
Jeremiah 6:22	Thus says YHWH: “Behold, a people is coming from the land of the north, and a great nation shall be roused from the sides of the earth.
Jeremiah 6:23	Bow and spear they hold firmly—they [are] cruel, and they do not have compassion; their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, arrayed as men for the battle, against you, O daughter of Zion!”
Jeremiah 6:24	We have heard the report of it, our hands grow feeble; distress has taken hold of us, writhing as a woman giving birth.
Jeremiah 6:25	You⁺ shall not go out to the field, and on the road You⁺ shall not walk; because of the sword of the enemy, terror [is] all around!
Jeremiah 6:26	O Daughter of my people, put on sackcloth and roll in ashes; make for yourself mourning [as for] an only son, most bitter lamentation, for suddenly will come the destroyer upon us!
Jeremiah 6:27	“I have appointed you an examiner among My people like ore, that you may know and examine their way.
Jeremiah 6:28	All of them are turning aside, rebelling, walking [in] slander; [they are] bronze and iron, they [are] all acting corruptly.
Jeremiah 6:29	The bellows are burned; by the fire, the lead; in vain has a refiner refined, and the wicked have not been drawn away.
Jeremiah 6:30	They call them rejected silver, because YHWH has rejected them.”
Jeremiah 7:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 7:2	“Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and proclaim there this word, and say: Hear the word of YHWH, all of Judah who enter these gates to worship before YHWH!
Jeremiah 7:3	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Amend your⁺ ways and your⁺ deeds, and I will make you⁺ dwell in this place.
Jeremiah 7:4	Do not trust in words of deception, saying, ‘The temple of YHWH, the temple of YHWH, the temple of YHWH [are] they.’
Jeremiah 7:5	For if you⁺ thoroughly amend your⁺ ways and your⁺ deeds; if you⁺ thoroughly do justice between a man and between his neighbor;
Jeremiah 7:6	[if] the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, you would not oppress, and innocent blood you would not pour out in this place, and you⁺ would not walk, after other gods to your⁺ own harm,
Jeremiah 7:7	then I will make you⁺ dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your⁺ fathers, from forever and even to forever.
Jeremiah 7:8	Behold, you⁺ keep trusting for yourselves in words of deception that do not profit.
Jeremiah 7:9	Are you stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, and swearing by deception, and burning incense to Baal, and walking after other gods whom you do not know,
Jeremiah 7:10	and then come and stand before My face in this house, over which is called My name, and say, ‘We are delivered!’—In order to do all these abominations?
Jeremiah 7:11	Has this house, over which is called My name, become a den of robbers in your⁺ eyes? Behold, even I have seen [it]! A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 7:12	But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, where I set My name there at first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel!
Jeremiah 7:13	And now, because you⁺ have done all these deeds, a declaration of YHWH, and I spoke to you⁺, rising up early and speaking, you would not hear; and I called to you⁺, and you⁺ have not answered.
Jeremiah 7:14	And I will do to this house, on which is called My name, which you⁺ trust in it, and this place that I gave to you⁺ and to your⁺ fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
Jeremiah 7:15	And I will cast you out from before My face, as I have cast out all your⁺ brothers, all the seed of Ephraim.
Jeremiah 7:16	And you should not pray for this people, and not lift up for them a cry or a prayer, and you should not intercede to Me, for I will not hear you.
Jeremiah 7:17	Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 7:18	The sons gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and [they] pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.
Jeremiah 7:19	Do they provoke Me to anger? A declaration of YHWH. Is it not themselves, to the shame of their own faces?
Jeremiah 7:20	Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, My anger and My fury are being poured out toward this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the tree of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it will burn, and not be extinguished.
Jeremiah 7:21	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Add your⁺ burnt offerings to your⁺ sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
Jeremiah 7:22	For I did not speak to your⁺ fathers, and I did not command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning the matters of burnt offering and sacrifice.
Jeremiah 7:23	But only this thing did I command them, saying: Listen to My voice, and I will be your⁺ God, and you⁺ will be My people; and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you⁺, that it may go well for you⁺.
Jeremiah 7:24	And they did not listen, and they did not incline their ear, and they walked in the counsels in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and they went backward and not forward.
Jeremiah 7:25	From the day that your⁺ fathers came from the land of Egypt, until this day, I have even sent to you⁺ all My servants the prophets, each day rising up early and sending [them].
Jeremiah 7:26	And they did not listen to Me, and they did not incline their ear, and they stiffened their neck—they did worse than their fathers!
Jeremiah 7:27	And you shall speak to them all these words, and they will not listen to you; and you shall call to them, and they will not answer you.
Jeremiah 7:28	And you shall say to them: ‘This [is] a nation that does not listen to the voice of YHWH their God, and it does not receive correction; the truth has perished and is cut off from their mouth.
Jeremiah 7:29	Cut off your consecrated hair and cast [it] away, and take up a lamentation on the barren heights; for YHWH has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath!’
Jeremiah 7:30	For the sons of Judah have done evil in My eyes, a declaration of YHWH; they have set their abominations in the house over which My name is called, to defile it.
Jeremiah 7:31	And they have built the high places of Topheth, which [is] in the Valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire—which I did not command, and it did not come into My heart!
Jeremiah 7:32	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, and it will no longer called Tophet, or the Valley of the son of Hinnom, but instead the Valley of Slaughter, and they will bury in Tophet until there is no room!
Jeremiah 7:33	The corpses of this people will be for food for the birds of the heavens and for the beast of the earth, and there will no one to scare them away.
Jeremiah 7:34	And I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride—for the land will be for a desolation.”
Jeremiah 8:1	“At that time,” a declaration of YHWH, “They shall bring out 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 those dwelling in Jerusalem, out from their graves.
Jeremiah 8:2	And they will spread them out before the sun, and before the moon, and before all the host of the heavens, which they have loved, and which they have served, and which they have walked after them, and which they have sought, and which they have bowed down to them. They will not be gathered, and they will be buried; they will be like dung over the face of the land.
Jeremiah 8:3	And they will choose and death over life for all the remant remaining of this evil family, those remaining in all the places where I have driven them!” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Jeremiah 8:4	And you shall say to them, thus says YHWH! “Will they fall, and not rise? Will they turn away, and not return?
Jeremiah 8:5	Why [is] this people of Jerusalem turned away by a perpetual backsliding? They hold firmly to deceit, they refuse to return.
Jeremiah 8:6	I paid attention and listened; they did not speak what is right; there was no man repenting over his wickedness, saying, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone turned to his own course, like a horse rushing into the battle.
Jeremiah 8:7	Even the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times, and the turtledove and the swift and the thrush watch over the time of their coming; and My people do not know the judgment of YHWH.
Jeremiah 8:8	How can you⁺ say, ‘We [are] wise and the law of YHWH [is] with us?’ Truly behold—in falsehood he made [it]; the pen of the scribes [is] false.
Jeremiah 8:9	The wise ones have been put to shame, they are dismayed and captured; behold, they have rejected the word of YHWH—what wisdom [is] unto them?
Jeremiah 8:10	Therefore I will give their wives to others, [and] their fields to those possessing them; for from the least and to the greatest, everyone is greedy for dishonest gain; from the prophet and to the priest, everyone deals falsely.
Jeremiah 8:11	And they have healed the breaking of the daughter of My people upon being light, saying, ‘Peace, peace, when there is no peace.
Jeremiah 8:12	Were they ashamed when they did the abomination? No, they were not ashamed at all, and they did not know how to blush! Therefore they shall fall among those falling; in the time of their punishment, they shall be cast down, says YHWH.
Jeremiah 8:13	Surely I will consume them,’ a declaration of YHWH, no grapes [will be] on the vine, and no figs on the fig tree; and the leaf is withered, and the [things] I have given to them pass away from them.”
Jeremiah 8:14	Why are we sitting? Gather yourselves, and let us go into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there, for YHWH our God has made us perish, and given us water of gall, because we have sinned against YHWH—
Jeremiah 8:15	looking for peace, and no good [has come], and for a time of health, and behold, terror!
Jeremiah 8:16	From Dan is heard the snorting of his horses, the whole land quakes from the voice of the neighing of His mighty ones; and they will come and consume the land and its fullness, the city and those dwelling in it.
Jeremiah 8:17	“For behold, I am sending you⁺ among serpents—vipers that [there is] not unto them a charm, and they will bite you⁺,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 8:18	My sorrow is beyond healing; My heart [is] faint within me.
Jeremiah 8:19	Behold! The voice of the outcry of the daughter of my people, from a land far away: “[Is] YHWH not in Zion? Is her King not in her?” “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, with foreign idols?”
Jeremiah 8:20	“The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, and we have not been saved.”
Jeremiah 8:21	Because of the breaking of the daughter of my people, I am broken; I am mourning; dismay has seized me.
Jeremiah 8:22	[Is] no balm in Gilead? Is a healer not there? Then why [does] not go up the health of the daughter of my people?
Jeremiah 9:1	Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night [for] the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jeremiah 9:2	Who will give me in the wilderness a lodging place for travelers, that I might leave my people and depart from them, for they [are] all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous ones.

Jeremiah 9:4	“[Let] each man take heed of his neighbor, and in any brother not trust. For every brother does utterly supplant, and every neighbor walks in slander.
Jeremiah 9:5	And each man will deceive his neighbor, and they will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak deception, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah 9:6	You dwell in the midst of deceit, [for] in deceit they refuse to know Me!” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 9:7	Therefore thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am refining them, and I will test them! For how shall I act before the face of the daughter of My people?
Jeremiah 9:8	Their tongue [is] a slaughtering arrow, speaking deceit; with his mouth he speaks peace to his neighbor, and within himself he sets an ambush.
Jeremiah 9:9	Shall I not visit them for these things? A declaration of YHWH. On a nation such as this shall not My soul avenge itself?”
Jeremiah 9:10	Over the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing, and over the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up without man passing through, and they do not hear the voice of the cattle; from the birds of the heavens even to the beast they have fled; they have gone away.
Jeremiah 9:11	“And I will make Jerusalem into heaps, a dwelling for jackals; and the cities of Judah I will make a desolation, without inhabitant.”
Jeremiah 9:12	Who [is] the wise man that he may understand this? And to whom has the mouth of YHWH spoken, that he may declare it? Because of what has the land perished [and] burned up like a wilderness, without one passing through?
Jeremiah 9:13	And YHWH said: “Because they have forsaken My law that I had set before their face, and they have not listened to My voice and have not walked by it.
Jeremiah 9:14	And they have walked after the stubborness of their own heart, and after the Baals, which their fathers taught them.
Jeremiah 9:15	Therefore thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will feed them—this people—with wormwood, and give them to drink water of gall!
Jeremiah 9:16	And I will scatter them among the nations that have known, neither they [nor] their fathers, and I will send out after them a sword, until I have put an end to them!
Jeremiah 9:17	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Consider, and call for the wailing women, that they may come; and send for the skillful women, that they may come!
Jeremiah 9:18	And let them hurry and take up for us a lament, that our eyes may overflow with tears, and our eyelids flow with water.
Jeremiah 9:19	For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How devastated we are! We are exceedingly ashamed, because we have left behind the land, because they have thrown down our dwellings!’”
Jeremiah 9:20	Now hear, O women, the word of YHWH, and let your⁺ ear receive the word of His mouth! And teach your⁺ daughters a lamentation, and each woman her neighbor a dirge!
Jeremiah 9:21	For death has come up into our windows; it enters into our fortresses, to cut off the child from outside, the young men from the squares.
Jeremiah 9:22	Speak thus: A declaration of YHWH—“The corpse of a man will fall like dung upon the face of the field, and like sheaves behind the reaper, and there shall be no one gathering!”
Jeremiah 9:23	Thus says YHWH: “Let not the wise one glory in his wisdom, and let not the mighty one glory in his might, and let not the rich one glory in his riches;

Jeremiah 9:25	“Behold, the days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “When I will visit upon all the circumcised in the foreskin—
Jeremiah 9:26	upon Egypt, and upon Judah, and upon Edom, and upon the sons of Ammon, and upon Moab, and upon all those cutting off a corner, those dwelling in the desert; for all the nations [are] uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel [are] uncircumcised in the heart.
Jeremiah 10:1	Hear the word that YHWH speaks to you⁺, O house of Israel.
Jeremiah 10:2	Thus says YHWH: “Upon the way of the nations do not train; and do not be dismayed from the signs of the heavens, for the nations are dismayed by them.
Jeremiah 10:3	For the customs of the peoples are vanity! For one cuts [down] a tree from the forest, the work of the hands of a craftsman, with the ax.
Jeremiah 10:4	They decorate it with silver and with gold, they fasten [it] with nails and with hammers so that it will not totter.
Jeremiah 10:5	They [are] like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, and they do not speak; They must be carried, because they can not step. You should not be afraid of them, for they can do no harm, and also to do good [is] not in them.”
Jeremiah 10:6	There is none like You, O YHWH! You [are] great, and great [is] Your name in might.
Jeremiah 10:7	Who does not fear You O King of the nations? Indeed, it is fitting for you! Because among all the wise ones of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [is] none like You.
Jeremiah 10:8	But they are altogether senseless and foolish, the teaching of of vanities, it [is] of wood!
Jeremiah 10:9	Beaten Silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of a craftsman and of the hands of a refiner; blue and purple [are] their clothing, the work of skillful ones—all of them.
Jeremiah 10:10	And YHWH [is] the true God; He [is] the living God, and King forever! At His wrath the earth trembles, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
Jeremiah 10:11	Thus you⁺ shall say to them: “The gods that the heavens and the earth have not made shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Jeremiah 10:12	He has made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom, and by His understanding He has stretched out the heavens.
Jeremiah 10:13	When He gives forth [His] voice, a tumult of waters [is] in the heavens, and He makes the vapors to rise from the end of the earth; He makes the lightning for the rain, and He brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Jeremiah 10:14	All mankind has become stupid in knowledge! Every refiner is put to shame by an idol; for his molten image [is] falsehood, and there is not breath in them.
Jeremiah 10:15	They [are] vanity, a work of errors; in the time of their punishment they shall perish.
Jeremiah 10:16	The portion of Jacob [is] not like these; for the Maker of all [is] He, and Israel [is] the tribe of His inheritance—YHWH of Hosts [is] His name!
Jeremiah 10:17	Gather up your bundle from the land, O inhabitant of the fortress!
Jeremiah 10:18	For thus says YHWH: “Behold, I am slinging out those dwelling in the land at this time, and I will cause distress for them, so that they are found out!”
Jeremiah 10:19	Woe to me because of my brokenness—my wound is grievous! And I said, “Truly this [is] a sickness, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah 10:20	My tent is plundered, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone forth from me, and they are no more; there is no one stretching out my tent anymore and raising up my curtains.
Jeremiah 10:21	For the shepherds have become stupid, and they have not sought YHWH! Upon thus they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
Jeremiah 10:22	The sound of a report! Behold, it is coming—and a great commotion from the land of the north—to appoint the cities of Judah a desolation, a habitation for jackals!
Jeremiah 10:23	I know, O YHWH, that the way of man is not [in himself]; not of man [is] the going and establishing his steps.
Jeremiah 10:24	Discipline me, O YHWH, but with justice—not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah 10:25	Pour out Your fury on the nations who do not know You, and on the families who do not call on Your name; for they have eaten up Jacob, and have devoured him and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate!
Jeremiah 11:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 11:2	“Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to those dwelling in Jerusalem,
Jeremiah 11:3	and say to them, thus says YHWH God of Israel: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant
Jeremiah 11:4	that I commanded your⁺ fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Egypt, from the furnace iron, saying, ‘Listen to My voice, and do according to all that I command you⁺, and you⁺ shall be My people, and I shall be your⁺ God,
Jeremiah 11:5	so that I may establish the oath that I swore to your⁺ fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answered and said, “Amen, YHWH.
Jeremiah 11:6	And YHWH said to me: “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.
Jeremiah 11:7	For I surely testified against your⁺ fathers in the day I brought them from the land of Egypt, and until this day, rising early and warning, I warned, saying, ‘Listen to My voice.’
Jeremiah 11:8	And they did not hear, and they did not incline their ear; each man followed in the stubborness of their evil heart. And I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded [them] to do and they have not done.”
Jeremiah 11:9	And YHWH said to me: “A conspiracy has been found out among the men of Judah, and among those dwelling in Jerusalem!
Jeremiah 11:10	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 broken My covenant that I made with their fathers.
Jeremiah 11:11	Therefore, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I am bringing on them calamity that they will not be able to escape from it; and they will call out to Me, and I will not listen to them.
Jeremiah 11:12	And the cities of Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem will go, and they will cry out to the gods to which they offer incense to them; they will not save them at all in the time of their calamity.
Jeremiah 11:13	For [to] the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah; and the number of the streets of Jerusalem you⁺ have appointed altars of shame—altars for burning incense to Baal!
Jeremiah 11:14	And you—do not pray for this people or lift up for them a cry or prayer; for I will not hear [them] in the time of their crying out to Me on account of their calamity.
Jeremiah 11:15	What [is] unto my beloved one in My house, her having done much evil scheming? And the holy flesh has passed over from you; when you [are] evil, then you rejoice?
Jeremiah 11:16	A green olive tree, lovely and of good fruit, YHWH has called your name l with the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, and its branches are broken.
Jeremiah 11:17	And YHWH of Hosts who planted you has spoken evil against you on account of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done themselves, provoking Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
Jeremiah 11:18	And YHWH has cause me to know, and I know [it]; then You showed me their deeds.
Jeremiah 11:19	And I [was] docile like a lamb brought to the slaughter, and I did not know that they had devised schemes against me: “Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name will not be remembered anymore.
Jeremiah 11:20	And YHWH of Hosts [is] the One judging [in] righteousness, examining the kidneys and heart, let me see Your vengeance on them, for I have uncovered my dispute to You.
Jeremiah 11:21	Therefore thus says YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, those seeking your soul, saying, “Do not prophesy in the name of YHWH, and you will not die by our hand!—
Jeremiah 11:22	Therefore thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I will punish them! The young men will die by the sword; their sons and their daughters will die by famine;
Jeremiah 11:23	and there will be no remnant for them! For I will bring disaster to the men of Anathoth, the year of their punishment.
Jeremiah 12:1	Righteous [are] You, O YHWH, when I plead before You; yet I will speak with You of judgments. Why [does] the way of the wicked prosper? [Why] do they find repose, all who deal so treacherously treacherously?
Jeremiah 12:2	You plant them, and they have taken root; they grow and they bear fruit; You [are] near, in their mouth and far from their kidneys.
Jeremiah 12:3	And You, O YHWH, know me; You have seen me and have tested my heart toward You. May you pull them out like sheep for the slaughter and prepare them for the day of slaughter!
Jeremiah 12:4	How long will the land mourn and the grass of every field wither? For the evil of those dwelling in it, the beasts and fowl have been swept away—because they said, “He will not see our final end!
Jeremiah 12:5	“If you have run with those on foot and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? And in a land of peace you are trusting—then how will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?
Jeremiah 12:6	For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you, even they have called a multitude after you. Do not have faith in them, even though they may speak good things to you!
Jeremiah 12:7	I have forsaken My house, I have left My heritage; I have given the beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jeremiah 12:8	My heritage has become for Me like a lion in the forest; she has set against Me with her voice; upon thus I have hated her!
Jeremiah 12:9	[Is not] My inheritance to Me a speckled bird of prey with the bird of prey all around against her? Go gather all the beasts of the field, bring them for food!
Jeremiah 12:10	Many shepherds have ruined My vineyard, they have trampled [down] My portion, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jeremiah 12:11	They have made her a desolation; she mourns before Me, desolate; all the land has been made desolate! But no man [is] setting [it] upon the heart.
Jeremiah 12:12	Upon all the barren heights in the desert the destroyers have come; for the sword of YHWH is devouring from one end of the land even to the [other] end of the land! No peace [is] unto any flesh.
Jeremiah 12:13	They have sown wheat and have reaped thorns; they have wearied themselves; they did not profit. And they have been ashamed of your⁺ produce, because of the burning nose of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 12:14	Thus says YHWH “Against all my evil neighbors who touch the inheritance that I have caused My people Israel to inherit—behold, I am plucking them from their land, and I will pluck up the house of Judah from their midst!
Jeremiah 12:15	And it will come to pass after I uproot them, that I will return and have compassion on them, and I will bring them back, everyone to his inheritance and everyone to his land.
Jeremiah 12:16	And it will come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘YHWH lives,’ as—they taught My people to swear by Baal—that they will learn they will be built in the midst of My people.
Jeremiah 12:17	And if they will not listen, then I will completely pluck up and destroy that nation! A declaration of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 13:1	Thus said YHWH to me: “Go and acquire for yourself a linen loincloth, and put it around your waist, and you shall not put it in the water.
Jeremiah 13:2	And I acquired a loincloth, according to the word of YHWH, and I put [it] around my waist.
Jeremiah 13:3	And the word of YHWH came to me a second time, saying:
Jeremiah 13:4	“Take the loincloth that you acquired, which [is] around your waist, and rise up, go to Perath, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
Jeremiah 13:5	And I went and hid it in Perath, as YHWH commanded me.
Jeremiah 13:6	And it came to pass after many days that YHWH said to me: “Rise [and] go to Perath, and take from there the the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.
Jeremiah 13:7	And I went to Perath and dug, and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there; and behold, the loincloth had been ruined, [and] it was not profitable for anything.
Jeremiah 13:8	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Jeremiah 13:9	Thus says YHWH: “In this manner I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 13:10	This evil people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubborness of their heart and walk after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, they shall even become like this loincloth, which is not profitable for anything!
Jeremiah 13:11	Indeed, as a loincloth clings to the waist of a man, so I made to cling to Me all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah, a declaration of YHWH, to become unto Me as people, and for renown, and for praise, and for glory! They would not listen.
Jeremiah 13:12	And you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says YHWH the God of Israel: Every bottle shall be filled with wine.’ And they will say to you ‘Do we not already know this, that every bottle will be filled with wine?
Jeremiah 13:13	And you shall say to them: ‘Thus says YHWH: Behold, I am going to fill all those dwelling in this land, and the kings sitting for David on his throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem, [with] drunkenness.
Jeremiah 13:14	And I will dash them—a man against his brother, and the fathers and the sons together, a declaration of YHWH. I will not spare, and I will not have pity, and I will not have compassion to keep from destroying them.’”
Jeremiah 13:15	Listen and give ear! Do not be proud, for YHWH has spoken.
Jeremiah 13:16	Give glory to YHWH your⁺ God before He brings darkness, and before your⁺ feet stumble on the dark mountains, and while you⁺ are looking for light, and He turns it into the shadow of death and makes [it] thick darkness.
Jeremiah 13:17	But if you⁺ will not listen, [then] in secret My soul will weep from the face of [your] pride, and will weep bitterly, and My eyes will flow with tears, because the flock of YHWH has been taken captive.
Jeremiah 13:18	Say to the king and to the queen mother, “Humble yourselves, sit down! For from your⁺ heads have fallen the crown of your⁺ splendor!”
Jeremiah 13:19	The cities of the Negev have been shut tight, and there is no one opening [them]; Judah has been removed, all of her—she has been removed completely!
Jeremiah 13:20	Lift up your⁺ eyes, and see those coming from the north. Where [is] the flock He gave to you, your beautiful flock?
Jeremiah 13:21	What will you say when He sets over you—and you had taught them to be allies with you—to be head? Will not pangs seize you like a woman in labor?
Jeremiah 13:22	And if you should say in your heart, “Why have these things happened to me?—[It is] by the abundance of your iniquity [that] your skirts have been uncovered [and] your heels have suffered violence.
Jeremiah 13:23	Can the Cushite change his skin, or the leopard its spots? Are you⁺ also able do good—[you] who are accustomed to doing evil.
Jeremiah 13:24	“And I will scatter them like chaff [that] passes away by the wind of the wilderness.
Jeremiah 13:25	This [is] your lot, the portion of your measures from Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “Because you have forgotten Me and have trusted in falsehood!
Jeremiah 13:26	Therefore I will strip away your skirts over your face, that your shame may be seen—
Jeremiah 13:27	I have seen your adulteries and your neighings, the wickedness of your prostitution! Your abominations upon the hills [and] in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! After how long will you not be made clean?”
Jeremiah 14:1	The word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah concerning the droughts:
Jeremiah 14:2	“Judah mourns, and her gates languish; they mourn for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
Jeremiah 14:3	And their nobles have sent their young for water; they went to the cisterns, they did not find water. They returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and humiliated, and they covered their heads.
Jeremiah 14:4	Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain in the land, the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their heads.
Jeremiah 14:5	Indeed, even the doe in the field has brought forth—to forsake [it] because there is no grass.
Jeremiah 14:6	And the wild donkeys stand on the barren heights; they pant for the wind like jackals, and their eyes fail because [there is] no grass.”
Jeremiah 14:7	Though our iniquities testify against us, O YHWH, may You act for the sake of Your name! For many are our backslidings; we have sinned against You.
Jeremiah 14:8	O Hope of Israel, his Savior in time of distress, why should You be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler [who] stretches aside to spend the night.
Jeremiah 14:9	Why should You be like a man astonished, like a mighty one not able to save? And You [are] among us, O YHWH, and we are called [by] Your name; do not leave us.
Jeremiah 14:10	Thus says YHWH to this people: “Thus have they loved to wander, they have not held back their feet, and YHWH has not accepted them; now He will remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins.”
Jeremiah 14:11	And YHWH said to me: “Do not pray for this people for the good.
Jeremiah 14:12	When they fast, I will not hear to their cry; and when they bring up a burnt offering and grain offering, I will not accept them—but by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence I will put an end to them!
Jeremiah 14:13	And I said “Ah, Lord YHWH!” Behold, the prophets are saying to them, ‘You⁺ will not see the sword, and there shall be no famine for you⁺; but I will give to you⁺ assured peace in this place.’”
Jeremiah 14:14	And YHWH said to me: “The prophets are prophesying lies in My name.” I have not sent them, and I have not commanded them, and not I have spoken to them. They are prophesying to you⁺ a false vision and divination, and worthlessness, and the deceit of their heart.
Jeremiah 14:15	Therefore, thus says YHWH concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, “When I did not send them, and they say, ‘Sword and famine will not be in this land.’ By sword and by famine those prophets will meet their end!
Jeremiah 14:16	And the people whom they prophesy to them will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword, and no one will bury them—they [and] their wives, and their sons, and their daughters; and I will pour their wickedness on them.
Jeremiah 14:17	And you shall speak to them this word: ‘Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and do not let them cease! For the virgin daughter of my people has been wounded with a mighy breach, with a serious blow.
Jeremiah 14:18	If I go out [to] the field, and behold—those slain by the sword! And if I come [into] the city, and behold—those sick from famine! How both prophet and priest go about in the land, and they do not know!’”
Jeremiah 14:19	Have you completely rejected Judah? Or has Your soul abhorred Zion? Why did You strike us and [there is] no healing for us? We looked for peace, and [there was] no good; and for the time of healing, and there was terror!
Jeremiah 14:20	We acknowledge, O YHWH, our wickedness, [and] the iniquity of our fathers; for we have sinned against You.
Jeremiah 14:21	For the sake of Your name do not spurn [us], do not disgrace the throne of Your glory! Remember, do not break Your covenant with us.
Jeremiah 14:22	Are there any among the idols of the nations able to bring rain? Or can the heavens give showers? [Are] You not He, O YHWH our God? And we shall wait for You, since You make all these [things].
Jeremiah 15:1	And YHWH said to me: “Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My soul [is] not toward this people. Cast [them] before My face, and let them go away!
Jeremiah 15:2	And it will come to pass, if they say to you ‘Where should we go?’ That you shall say to them, thus says YHWH: ‘Those unto death—unto death, and those unto the sword—unto the sword, and those unto the famine—unto the famine, and those unto captivity—unto captivity!’
Jeremiah 15:3	And I will appoint over them four kinds, says YHWH: The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, and the bird of the heavens and the beast of the earth to devour and to destroy.
Jeremiah 15:4	And I will set them as a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah—for that which he did in Jerusalem!
Jeremiah 15:5	For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Or who will mourn for you? Or who will turn aside to ask about your well-being?
Jeremiah 15:6	You have forsaken Me, a declaration of YHWH; You have gone backward; and I have stretched out My hand against you, and will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
Jeremiah 15:7	And I will scatter them with a pitchfork at the gates of the land; I will bereave and destroy My people, who have not turned from their ways.
Jeremiah 15:8	Its widows will be more numerous to Me than the sand of the seas; I will bring upon them—against the mother of the young man—a destroyer at noonday, [and] I will make fall on them suddenly anguish and terror.
Jeremiah 15:9	She languishes who has borne seven; she has breathed her last, her sun has gone down while yet day; she has been ashamed and disgraved. And the remnant of them I will give to the sword, before the face of their enemies, a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 15:10	Woe to me, my mother, for you gave birth to me, a man of strife and a man of contention in all the land! I have not lent, and not have they lent on usury to me—all of them curse me.
Jeremiah 15:11	YHWH said “Truly: With your remnant it will be well, truly have I not interceded with the enemy for you in the time of adversity and in the time of distress?
Jeremiah 15:12	Can one break iron—iron from the north—and bronze?
Jeremiah 15:13	Your wealth and your treasures I will give as plunder without price, even for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Jeremiah 15:14	And I will make [you] pass over with your enemies into a land that you do not know; for a fire is kindled in My anger that will burn against you⁺.”
Jeremiah 15:15	You—You have known, O YHWH; remember me and attend to me, and take vengeance for me on my pursuers! In Your long-suffering do not take me away; know I have suffered rebuke for Your sake.
Jeremiah 15:16	Your words were found, and I consumed them, and Your word to me was the joy and the gladness of my heart; for I am called [by] Your name, O YHWH God of Hosts.
Jeremiah 15:17	I did not sit in the counsel of the mockers no rejoice; I sat alone because of Your hand, for You have filled me with indignation.
Jeremiah 15:18	Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You will surely be to me like a liar, waters that fail?
Jeremiah 15:19	Therefore, thus says YHWH: “If you turn back, then I will restore you; you will stand before My face; and if you bring out the precious things from the vile, you will be as My mouth. Let them turn back to you, and you shall not return to them.
Jeremiah 15:20	And I will make you to this people as a wall of fortified bronze; and they shall make war against you, and they shall not prevail against you, for I [am] with you to save you and to deliver you! A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 15:21	And I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked ones, and I will ransom you from the grip of the terrible.”
Jeremiah 16:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Jeremiah 16:2	“You shall not take for yourself a wife, and not shall there be unto you sons and daughers in this place.”
Jeremiah 16:3	For thus says YHWH concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begat them in this land:
Jeremiah 16:4	“They will die diseased deaths; they will not be mourned, and they will not be buried; they will be like dung upon the face of the ground, and by the sword and by famine they will be finished off, and their corpses shall be as food for the birds of the heavens and for the beast of the earth.”
Jeremiah 16:5	For thus says YHWH: “Do not enter a house of mourning, and do not go to mourn, and you shall not bemoan them, for I have gathered up My peace away from this people, a declaration of YHWH, [even] loving devotion and mercies.”
Jeremiah 16:6	“And the great and the small will die in this land; they will not be buried, and no one will mourn for them nor cut themselves nor make themselves bald for them.
Jeremiah 16:7	And no one will break [it] for them for mourning, to comfort them for the dead, nor give them the cup of consolation to drink for his father or for his mother.
Jeremiah 16:8	And you shall not enter the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and drink.
Jeremiah 16:9	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am going to make cease from this place before your⁺ eyes, and in your⁺ days, the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Jeremiah 16:10	And it will come to pass, when you declare to this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘For what has YHWH spoken against us all this great evil? Or what [is] our iniquity? Or what [is] our sin that we have committed against YHWH our God?’
Jeremiah 16:11	And you shall say to them ‘Upon that your⁺ fathers have forsaken Me, a declaration of YHWH, and they have walked after other gods, and they have served them and bowed down to them, and they have forsaken Me and have not kept My law.
Jeremiah 16:12	And you⁺ have done worse than your⁺ fathers! And behold, you⁺ are walking, each man after the stubborness of his evil heart, so as to not listen to Me!
Jeremiah 16:13	And I will cast you⁺ from this land, into a land that you have not known—you⁺ and your⁺ fathers. And there you⁺ will serve other gods day and night—where I will not give you⁺ favor!’
Jeremiah 16:14	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, and it will not be said anymore, ‘YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt,
Jeremiah 16:15	but only, ‘YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands to which He had driven them there.’ And I will bring them back to their land that I gave to their fathers.
Jeremiah 16:16	Behold, I I will send for many fishermen, a declaration of YHWH, and they will catch them; and after this, I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them on every mountain and from every hill and from the clefts of the rocks.
Jeremiah 16:17	For My eyes [are] on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, and their iniquity is not hidden from before My eyes!
Jeremiah 16:18	And first I will repay double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land; they have filled My inheritance with the carcass of their detestable and abominable things!”
Jeremiah 16:19	O YHWH, my strength and my fortress and My refuge in the day of distress—the nations will come to You from the ends of the earth, and they will say, “Surely our fathers have inherited lies, worthlessness—and no profit [is] in them!
Jeremiah 16:20	Can man make gods for himself? And they [are] not gods!”
Jeremiah 16:21	“Therefore, behold, I I will cause them to know, in this moment I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they will know that My name [is] YHWH.
Jeremiah 17:1	[“] The sin of Judah [is] written with a stylus of iron; with the nail of a diamond [it is] engraved upon the tablet of their heart and on the horns of your⁺ altars,
Jeremiah 17:2	while their sons remember their altars and their Asherah poles, by the green trees on the high hills.
Jeremiah 17:3	O My mountain in the field, I will give your wealth [and] all your treasures as plunder, your high places of sin within all your borders!
Jeremiah 17:4	And you shall let go—even you—of your inheritance that I gave to you. And I will make you serve your enemies in the land that you have not known. For you⁺ have kindled a fire in My nose; it will burn even to forever!”
Jeremiah 17:5	Thus says YHWH: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his arm and turns away his heart from YHWH.
Jeremiah 17:6	And he shall be like a shrub in the desert plain, and he shall not see when good comes, and he shall dwell in the parched places in the desert, [in] a salt land without dweller.
Jeremiah 17:7	Blessed [is] the man who trusts in YHWH, and his hope is YHWH.
Jeremiah 17:8	And he shall be planted like a tree by the waters, and [which] by the river sends out its roots; and it does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaf will be green, and in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it will not leave off from producing fruit.
Jeremiah 17:9	The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick—who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:10	I, YHWH, [am] the One searching the heart [and] testing the kidneys, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.
Jeremiah 17:11	[As] a partridge that broods and not having brought forth, [is] one making riches and not with justice; in the midst of his days it will leave him, and at his end he will become a fool.”
Jeremiah 17:12	A throne of glory on high from the beginning, [is] the place of our sanctuary.
Jeremiah 17:13	O YHWH, the Hope of Israel, all those forsaking You will be put to shame—(and those turning away from Me will be written in the earth). For they have forsaken YHWH, the fountain of Living waters.
Jeremiah 17:14	Heal me, O YHWH, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You [are] my praise.
Jeremiah 17:15	Behold, they say to me, “Where [is] the word of YHWH? Let it come now.
Jeremiah 17:16	And I have not hurried away from being a shepherd after You, and I have not desired the day of despair; You know that which came out of my lips, [for] it was before Your face.
Jeremiah 17:17	Be not a terror to me; You [are] my hope in the day of evil.
Jeremiah 17:18	Let them be confounded who pursue me, and do not let me be ashamed; let them be dismayed; let me not be dismayed! Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction!
Jeremiah 17:19	Thus said YHWH to me: “Go and stand in the gate of the sons of the people, by which the kings of Judah enter into it, and by which they go out of it, and in all the gates of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 17:20	And you shall say to them: ‘Hear the word of YHWH, O kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all those dwelling in Jerusalem who enter by these gates.
Jeremiah 17:21	Thus says YHWH: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day to bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 17:22	You shall not bring out a load from your⁺ houses on the Sabbath day, and you⁺ shall not do any work, and keep holy the Sabbath day, as I commanded your⁺ fathers.
Jeremiah 17:23	They did not listen and they did not incline their ear, and they stiffened their neck, that they would not hear, and they would not receive discipline.
Jeremiah 17:24	And it will come to pass, if you⁺ listen carefully to Me, a declaration of YHWH, and do not bring in a load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and consecrate the Sabbath day to not do any work on it,
Jeremiah 17:25	then will come into the gates of this city kings and princes, sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, [with] the men of Judah and those dwelling in Jerusalem; and this city will abide forever.
Jeremiah 17:26	They will come from the cities of Judah, and from from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Shephelah and the hill country, and from the Negev, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings, and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 17:27	And if you⁺ will not listen to Me to consecrate the Sabbath day and not to carry a load and enter the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched.’”
Jeremiah 18:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 18:2	“Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My words.
Jeremiah 18:3	And I went down to the potter’s house, and behold—[he] was making a work at the wheel.
Jeremiah 18:4	And the vessel that he was making with the clay was marred in the hand of the potter; and he went back and he made it into another vessel, as seemed right in the eyes of the potter to make.
Jeremiah 18:5	The word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Jeremiah 18:6	O house of Israel, “Can I not do to you⁺ as this potter?, A declaration of YHWH. Behold, like clay in the potter’s hand, so [are] you⁺ in My hand, O house of Israel.
Jeremiah 18:7	The moment I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to uproot and to tear down and to destroy,
Jeremiah 18:8	and if that nation turns back from its evil, about which I have spoken against, then I will relent concerning the evil that I thought to bring upon it.
Jeremiah 18:9	And the moment I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant [it],
Jeremiah 18:10	and [if] it does evil in My eyes so that it does not listen to My voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I had said I would benefit them.
Jeremiah 18:11	And now speak, please, to the men of Judah and to those dwelling in Jerusalem, saying, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I am fashioning against you⁺ a disaster and devising against you⁺ a plan! Return now, each man from his evil way, and make good your⁺ ways and your⁺ deeds.’
Jeremiah 18:12	And they said, ‘It is hopeless! For according to our own plans we will walk, and each man will do the stubbornness of his evil heart.’”
Jeremiah 18:13	Therefore, thus says YHWH: “Ask, please, among the nations, who has heard these [things]? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.
Jeremiah 18:14	Does it leave its rocky slopes—the snow of Lebanon? Or from a distance be forsaken the cold flowing waters?
Jeremiah 18:15	Yet My people have forgotten Me, they have burned incense to a vain [thing]; and they made them stumble in their ways, the paths of old, to walk in sideroads of the way, and not raised up,
Jeremiah 18:16	to make their land desolate, an everlasting hissing; all passing by it will be astonished and will nod [at it] with his head.
Jeremiah 18:17	I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; and I will show them the back and not the face, in the day of their calamity!”
Jeremiah 18:18	And they said, “Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, and counsel from the wise, and the word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and we will not pay attention to any of his words!
Jeremiah 18:19	Pay attention, O YHWH, to me, and listen to the voice of my opponents!
Jeremiah 18:20	Shall evil be repaid for good? Yet they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before You to speak good for them, to turn away Your wrath from them.
Jeremiah 18:21	Therefore give over their children to the famine, and pour out by the hand of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows, and let their men be put to death, and their young men struck down by the sword in the battle!
Jeremiah 18:22	Let a cry be heard from their houses, when You bring upon them raiders suddenly! For they have dug a pit to capture me, and snares they have hidden for my feet.
Jeremiah 18:23	And You, O YHWH, know all their counsel against me to kill [me]. And do not cover over their iniquity, and do not blot out their sin from before Your face; and let them be overthrown before Your face. In the time of Your anger, deal against them.
Jeremiah 19:1	Thus says YHWH: “Go and acquire [from] a potter a clay jar, and [take] some of the elders of the people and some of the elders of the priests,
Jeremiah 19:2	and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom, which [is] [by] the entrance of the Gate of the Potsherd, and proclaim there the words that I speak to you.
Jeremiah 19:3	And you shall say, ‘Hear the word of YHWH, O kings of Judah and dwellers of Jerusalem! Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold! I am bringing [such] disaster on this place, that whoever hears of it, his ears will tingle,
Jeremiah 19:4	because that they have forsaken Me and made foreign this the place and burned incense in it to other gods, whom they have not known—they and not their fathers and not the kings of Judah. And they have filled this place with the blood of innocents!
Jeremiah 19:5	And they have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire [as] burnt offerings to Baal—which I did not command and did not speak, and it did not come upon My heart!
Jeremiah 19:6	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, that this place will no longer be called Tophet, or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but instead the Valley of the Slaughter.
Jeremiah 19:7	And I will ruin the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before the face of their enemies and by the hands of those seeking their soul, and I will give their carcass as food for the bird of the heavens and for the beast of the earth!
Jeremiah 19:8	And I will set this city as a desolation and a hissing; all passing by her will be astonished and will hiss over all her wounds.
Jeremiah 19:9	And I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and each man shall eat the flesh of his neighbor in the siege and in the distress with which their enemies shall press against them and those seeking their soul!’
Jeremiah 19:10	And you shall break the flask before the eyes of the men who go with you.
Jeremiah 19:11	And you shall say to them—thus says YHWH of Hosts: Like this I will break this people and this city, just like one breaks a potter’s vessel, which is not able to be made whole again; and in Tophet they shall bury [them], until [there is] no place to bury.
Jeremiah 19:12	Thus I will do to this place, a declaration of YHWH, and to its dwellers, so as to give this city [to be] like Tophet!
Jeremiah 19:13	And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah will be like the place of Tophet, the defiled [place], even all the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to all the host of the heavens and poured out drink offerings to other gods.
Jeremiah 19:14	And Jeremiah came from Tophet, where YHWH had sent him there to prophesy, and he stood in the court of the house of YHWH and said to all the people,
Jeremiah 19:15	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing on this city and on all her towns all the disaster that I have spoken against her, because they have stiffened their necks, that they might not hear My words.’”
Jeremiah 20:1	And Pashhur son of Immer the priest heard (and he [was] governor chief in the house of YHWH) Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Jeremiah 20:2	And Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and he put him in the stocks that [were] in the high gate of Benjamin, that [was] at the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 20:3	And it came to pass on the next day, that Pashhur brought out Jeremiah from the stocks, and Jeremiah said to him, “YHWH has not called your name Pashhur, but rather Magor-missabib.
Jeremiah 20:4	For thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends, and they will fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes will see it! And I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will carry them off to Babylon and strike them with the sword.
Jeremiah 20:5	And I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its produce, and all its precious [things], and all the treasures of the kings of Judah—I will give [it] into the hand of their enemies, and they will plunder them and seize them and bring them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 20:6	And you, Pashhur, and all those dwelling in your house, shall go into captivity; and to Babylon you will go, and there you will die, and there you will be buried—you and all you love, whom you have prophesied to them lies!’”
Jeremiah 20:7	You have persuaded me O YHWH, and I was persuaded; You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all the day, [and] everyone is mocking at me.
Jeremiah 20:8	For whenever I speak, I cry out, I shout, ‘Violence and destruction!’ For the word of YHWH has become to me as a reproach and as a derision all the day.
Jeremiah 20:9	And I said, “I will not mention Him and I will not speak anymore in His name. And it is in my heart burning like a fire, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of containing it, and I cannot prevail.
Jeremiah 20:10	For I heard the whispering of many, terror from every side: “Report, and let us report him! Every man close to me was watching for my stumbling, “Perhaps he can be persuaded, so that we may prevail against him, and we will take our vengeance on him!
Jeremiah 20:11	And YHWH [is] with me as a mighty awesome one! For thus my pursuers will stumble, and will not prevail. They will be greatly ashamed; indeed they will not succeed—everlasting disgrace will not be forgotten.
Jeremiah 20:12	And YHWH of Hosts, the One testing the righteous, the One seeing the kidneys and mind, let me see Your vengeance on them! For to you I have uncovered my dispute.
Jeremiah 20:13	Sing to YHWH! Praise YHWH! For He has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Jeremiah 20:14	Cursed [be] the day in which I was born, the day that my mother bore me—do not let it be blessed!
Jeremiah 20:15	Cursed be the man who brought news [to] my father, saying, “A male child has been born to you, bringing him great joy.
Jeremiah 20:16	And let that man be like the cities that YHWH overthrew, and did not relent; and let him hear an outcry in the morning, and a battle cry at noon!
Jeremiah 20:17	Because he did not kill me from the womb, that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb pregnant forever.
Jeremiah 20:18	Why [is] this—[that] from the womb I came forth to see trouble and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Jeremiah 21:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, [by] King Zedekiah sending to him Pashhur son of Malchijah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, saying:
Jeremiah 21:2	“Inquire for us, please, of YHWH, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is making war against us. Perhaps YHWH will deal with us according to all His wonderful deeds, and he will go away from us.
Jeremiah 21:3	And Jeremiah said to them, “Thus you⁺ shall say to Zedekiah:
Jeremiah 21:4	Thus says YHWH God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am going to turn back the weapons of war that [are] in your⁺ hands, with which you⁺ will be fighting against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans setting up siege against you⁺ from outside the walls. And I will gather them in the midst of this city.
Jeremiah 21:5	And I will fight against you⁺ with an outstretched hand and with a mighty arm, and in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
Jeremiah 21:6	And I will strike those dwelling in this city, both man and beast; by a great pestilence they will die!’
Jeremiah 21:7	‘And after thus,’ a declaration of YHWH, ‘I will give Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those left over in this city from the pestilence [and] from the sword and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul. And he will strike them with the mouth of the sword; he will not spare them, and he will not have pity, and he will not have compassion.
Jeremiah 21:8	And to this people you shall say, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I am setting before you⁺ the way of the life and the way of the death.
Jeremiah 21:9	The one staying settled in this city will die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence; and the one going out and falling away to the Chaldeans that besiege you⁺, and he even shall live, and his soul will be to him as a prize.
Jeremiah 21:10	For I have set My face against this city for evil and not for good—a declaration of YHWH. Into the hand of the king of Babylon it will be given, and he will burn it with fire.
Jeremiah 21:11	And to the house of the king of Judah: Hear the word of YHWH!
Jeremiah 21:12	O house of David, thus says YHWH: ‘Judge [with] justice in the morning, and deliver the one plundered from the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury go forth and burn like the fire, so that no one can quench [it]—because of the evil of your⁺ deeds.
Jeremiah 21:13	Behold, I [am] against you, a declaration of YHWH, O dweller of the valley, O rock of the plain, who say, “Who shall come down against us or who shall come into our dwellings?
Jeremiah 21:14	And I will attend to you⁺ according to the fruit of your⁺ deeds, a declaration of YHWH, and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it will devour all around it!’”
Jeremiah 22:1	Thus says YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah and speak there this word.
Jeremiah 22:2	And you shall say, ‘Hear the word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your servants and your people who enter at these gates.
Jeremiah 22:3	Thus says YHWH: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one plundered, from the hand of the oppressor. And do no wrong, and do no violence to the sojourner and the fatherless and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah 22:4	For if you⁺ will indeed carry out this word, then shall enter in the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses—he and his servants and his people.
Jeremiah 22:5	And if you⁺ do not hear these words, I swear by Myself, a declaration of YHWH, that this house will become as a desolation!’”
Jeremiah 22:6	For thus says YHWH to the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me, the head of Lebanon; if not, I will make you a desert, [with] cities not inhabited.
Jeremiah 22:7	And I will prepare against you destroyers, and each man with his weapons; and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Jeremiah 22:8	And many nations will pass by this city, and each man will say to his neighbor, ‘Upon what has YHWH done thus to this great city?
Jeremiah 22:9	And they will say, ‘Upon that they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH their God and bowed down to other gods and served them.’”
Jeremiah 22:10	Do not weep for the one who is dead, and do not bemoan him. Weep bitterly for the one going away, because he will not return again and see the land of his birth.
Jeremiah 22:11	For thus says YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, the one reigning in place of Josiah his father, who went forth from this place: “He shall not return here anymore.
Jeremiah 22:12	But in the place where they have led him captive, there he shall die, and this land he shall not see anymore.”
Jeremiah 22:13	“Woe [to] the one building his house by unrighteousness and his chambers by injustice, [who] by his neighbor gains service for nothing and for his work gives nothing to him,
Jeremiah 22:14	the one saying, ‘I will build for myself a large house, and with spacious upper rooms, and he cuts out windows for it, and paneling [it] with cedar and painting [it] with vermilion.’
Jeremiah 22:15	Shall you reign because you enclose yourself in cedar? [Did] your father not eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then [it was] well with him.
Jeremiah 22:16	He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then [it was] well. Is this not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 22:17	“Yet your eyes and your heart [are] on nothing for but upon your dishonest gain, and upon to shed innocent blood, and upon oppression, and upon to do violence!”
Jeremiah 22:18	Therefore thus says YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They shall not lament for him, ‘Alas my brother! Alas, my sister!’ They shall not lament for him, ‘Alas, my master! Alas, his majesty!’
Jeremiah 22:19	[With] the burial of a donkey he shall be buried, dragged and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem!
Jeremiah 22:20	Go up to Lebanon and cry out, and lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry out from Abarim—for all your lovers are destroyed!
Jeremiah 22:21	I spoke to you in your prosperity, you said, ‘I will not listen.’ This [is] your way from your youth, that you would not listen to My voice.
Jeremiah 22:22	The wind will shepherd all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity; surely then you will feel shame and be humiliated from all your evil.
Jeremiah 22:23	O dweller of Lebanon, nesting in the cedars—how you will groan when pains come upon you, writhing like a woman in labor!”
Jeremiah 22:24	“As I live,” a declaration of YHWH, “Even If Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on My right hand, yet from there I would tear you off,
Jeremiah 22:25	and I would give you into the hand of those seeking your soul, and into the hand of those whose face you fear, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans!
Jeremiah 22:26	And I will cast you out—and your mother who gave birth to you—upon another land, where you were not born there; and there you⁺ shall die.
Jeremiah 22:27	And upon the land to which they are lifting up their souls to return there, to there they shall not return.
Jeremiah 22:28	[Is] this man Coniah a despised [and] broken vessel, or a vessel in which [is] no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and cast into a land that they do not know?
Jeremiah 22:29	O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of YHWH!
Jeremiah 22:30	Thus says YHWH: “Enroll this man as childless, a man [who] shall not prosper in his days; indeed, none of his seed shall prosper to sit on the throne of David or to rule anymore in Judah.”
Jeremiah 23:1	“Woe to the shepherds destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture! A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:2	Therefore, thus says YHWH God of Israel, against the shepherds who shepherd My people: “You⁺ have scattered My flock and driven them away, and you⁺ have not attended to them. Behold, I am going to attend [to] you⁺ [for] the evil of your⁺ deeds! A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:3	And I will gather the remnant of My flock from all the lands to which I have driven them there, and I will bring them back to their pastures, and they shall be fruitful and shall multiply.
Jeremiah 23:4	And I will raise up over them shepherds who will shepherd them, and they will not fear anymore, nor be dismayed, and they will not be lacking, a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:5	Behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, when I will raise up for David a Branch of Righteousness, and a King shall reign who will deal wisely, and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 23:6	In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell in security; and this [is] his name that He will be called: YHWH Tsidqenu.
Jeremiah 23:7	Therefore, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, and they will no longer say, ‘YHWH lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah 23:8	but instead ‘YHWH lives, who brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel from the north country, and from all the lands to which I had driven them there,’ and they will dwell upon their own land.
Jeremiah 23:9	Concerning the prophets: My heart is broken within me; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man overcome by wine, from the face of YHWH and from the face of His holy words.
Jeremiah 23:10	For the land is filled [with] adulterers, [and] the land mourns because of the face of the curse, and the pastures of the wilderness are dried up; and their course has come to be evil, and their strength [is] not right.
Jeremiah 23:11	“For both prophet [and] priest are polluted, and even in My house I have found their evil!” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:12	“Therefore their way shall be for them as slippery; into the darkness they will be driven away and fall in it! For I will bring on them disaster, the year of their punishment,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:13	“And among the prophets of Samaria I have seen folly: They prophesied by Baal, and led astray My people Israel.
Jeremiah 23:14	And I have seen a horrible thing among the prophets of Jerusalem: They commit adultery and walk in deception, and they strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that a man does not turn back from his evil; all of them have become to Me like Sodom, and her inhabitants like Gomorrah!”
Jeremiah 23:15	Therefore, thus says YHWH of Hosts concerning the prophets: “Behold, I am going to feed them wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall! For from the prophets of Jerusalem profaneness has gone forth into all the land.”
Jeremiah 23:16	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you⁺. They make you⁺ vain; they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not from the mouth of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:17	They keep saying to those despising Me, ‘YHWH has said you⁺ will have peace.’ [And] as for everyone walking in the stubbornness of his heart, they say, ‘Evil shall not come upon you⁺.’
Jeremiah 23:18	But who has stood in the counsel of YHWH, and has perceived and has heard His word? Who has paid attention [to] His word, and has heard [it]?
Jeremiah 23:19	Behold, the tempest of YHWH in fury goes forth, and a whirling tempest swirling down upon on the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah 23:20	The nose of YHWH will not turn back until He has done [it], and until He has performed the thoughts of His heart; in the following days you⁺ will understand it clearly.
Jeremiah 23:21	I have not sent these prophets, and they have run; I have not spoken to them, and they have prophesied.
Jeremiah 23:22	But if they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them from the evil of their way and from the evil of their deeds.”
Jeremiah 23:23	“[Am] I a God nearby,” a declaration of YHWH, “And not a God far away?”
Jeremiah 23:24	“Can a man hide himself in the hidden places, and I shall not see him?” A declaration of YHWH. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:25	“I have heard what the prophets say, those prophesying in My name deception, saying, ‘I have dreamed! I have dreamed!
Jeremiah 23:26	How long will [it] be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? And indeed [they are] prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
Jeremiah 23:27	who are devising to make My people forget My name by their dreams that tell, a man to his neighbor, just as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.
Jeremiah 23:28	The prophet with whom [is] a dream, let him recount the dream, and with whom [is] My word, let him speak My word in faithfulness. What [is] the chaff to the wheat?” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:29	“Is it not thus, My word [is] like the fire,” a declaration of YHWH, “And like a hammer that dashes a rock?”
Jeremiah 23:30	“Therefore, behold, I [am] against the prophets,” a declaration of YHWH, “Those stealing My words, each man from his neighbor.”
Jeremiah 23:31	“Behold, I [am] against the prophets—” says YHWH—“Those taking their own tongues, and prophesying, ‘[His] utterance.”
Jeremiah 23:32	“Behold, I [am] against those prophesying False dreams,” a declaration of YHWH, “And they recount them and lead astray My people by their lies and by their recklessness; and I did not send them and did not command them, and there shall not be profit for this people,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 23:33	“And when this people, or the prophet, or the priest asks you, ‘Saying, What [is] the oracle of YHWH?’ Then you shall say to them ‘What oracle? And I will forsake you⁺, a declaration of YHWH.’
Jeremiah 23:34	And [as for] the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who say, ‘The oracle of YHWH,’ even I will visit punishment upon that man and upon his house.
Jeremiah 23:35	Thus you⁺ shall say, everyone to his neighbor and everyone to his brother, ‘What has YHWH answered, and what has YHWH spoken?’
Jeremiah 23:36	And the burden of YHWH you shall not mention anymore, for each man’s word will be the burden, and you⁺ have overturned the words of the living God, YHWH of Hosts, our God.
Jeremiah 23:37	Thus you shall say to the prophet: ‘What has YHWH answered you, and what has YHWH spoken?’
Jeremiah 23:38	And if you⁺ say, ‘The burden of YHWH,’ therefore thus says YHWH: Because you⁺ say ‘This word [is] the burden of YHWH,’ and I sent to you⁺ saying, you shall not say, ‘The burden of YHWH,’
Jeremiah 23:39	therefore, behold, I will also utterly forget you⁺, and I will cast away you⁺ and the city that I gave to you⁺ and to your⁺ fathers—from before My face,
Jeremiah 23:40	and I will bring upon you⁺ reproach forever and shame forever that will never be forgotten.
Jeremiah 24:1	YHWH has shown me—and behold—two baskets of figs set before the temple of YHWH, after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had removed Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, and the craftsmen and and metalsmiths from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Jeremiah 24:2	One basket [had] very good figs like the figs first ripe, and the other basket [had] very bad figs that could not be eaten for badness.
Jeremiah 24:3	“And YHWH said to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” And I said, “Figs—the good figs [are] very good, and the bad [are] very bad, which could not be eaten for badness.”
Jeremiah 24:4	And again the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Jeremiah 24:5	“Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: ‘Like these good figs, so I will regard the captive of Judah, whom I sent forth from this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.
Jeremiah 24:6	And I will set My eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; and I will build them and not tear down, and I will plant them and not uproot.
Jeremiah 24:7	And I will give to them a heart to know Me, that I [am] YHWH; and they will be unto Me a people, and I will be unto them God, for they will return to Me with all their heart.
Jeremiah 24:8	And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten for badness, surely’ thus says YHWH: ‘So will I give over Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the remnant of Jerusalem remaining in this land, and those dwelling in the land of Egypt.
Jeremiah 24:9	And I will give them for a horror and an offense into all the kingdoms of the earth, for a reproach and a byword, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I shall drive them there.
Jeremiah 24:10	And I will send among them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, until they are finished off from the land that I gave to them and to their fathers.’”
Jeremiah 25:1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which [was] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
Jeremiah 25:2	which the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, saying:
Jeremiah 25:3	“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day—this [is] the third and twentieth year—the word of YHWH came to me, and I have spoken to you⁺, rising early and speaking, and you⁺ have not listened.
Jeremiah 25:4	And YHWH has sent to you⁺ all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them], and you⁺ have not listened and you⁺ have not inclined your⁺ ear to hear—
Jeremiah 25:5	saying, ‘Repent now, each man from his evil way, and from the evil of his deeds, and dwell in the land that YHWH has given to you⁺ and to your⁺ fathers, from forever and even to forever.
Jeremiah 25:6	And do not go after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your⁺ hands; and I will not bring evil to you⁺.’
Jeremiah 25:7	‘And you⁺ have not listened to Me,’ a declaration of YHWH, ‘So you have provoked Me to anger by the works of your⁺ hands, to bring evil to yourselves.
Jeremiah 25:8	Therefore, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Because that you have not heard My words,
Jeremiah 25:9	behold, I am sending forth and I have taken all the families of the north, a declaration of YHWH, and unto Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant. And will bring them against this land and against its dwellers and against all these surrounding nations, and I will devote them to destruction, and I will give them for a horror and for a hissing and for desolations forever!
Jeremiah 25:10	And I will make perish from them the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.
Jeremiah 25:11	And all this land will become as a desolation, as a horror, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah 25:12	And it will come to pass, at the completing of seventy years, [that] I will visit punishment upon the king of Babylon, upon that nation, a declaration of YHWH, for their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it as a desolation forever.
Jeremiah 25:13	And I will bring upon that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah prophesied concerning all the nations.
Jeremiah 25:14	For shall be served by them—even them—even many nations and great kings; and I will repay to them according to their deeds and according to the works of their own hands.’”
Jeremiah 25:15	For thus said YHWH God of Israel to me: “Take the wine of the cup of this fury from My hand, and cause all the nations to drink it, to whom I am sending you.
Jeremiah 25:16	And they will drink [it] and stagger about and go raving from the face of the sword that I am sending among them.
Jeremiah 25:17	And I took the cup from the hand of YHWH and made all the nations drink from it to whom YHWH had sent me:
Jeremiah 25:18	Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, a horror, a hissing, and a curse—as [at] this day;
Jeremiah 25:19	Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jeremiah 25:20	and all the mixed multitude, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines—and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod—
Jeremiah 25:21	Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Jeremiah 25:22	and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the islands that [are] across the sea,
Jeremiah 25:23	and Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all in the cut off corners,
Jeremiah 25:24	and all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed multitude dwelling in the desert,
Jeremiah 25:25	and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
Jeremiah 25:26	and all the kings of the north, those near and those far, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the earth that [are] on the face of the earth, and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Jeremiah 25:27	And you shall say to them, “Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Drink and become drunk, and vomit, and fall, and you⁺ shall stand no more before the face of the sword that I am sending among you⁺.’
Jeremiah 25:28	And it will come to pass, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, that you shall say to them, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘You shall surely drink!
Jeremiah 25:29	For behold, upon the city that is called by My name, I am beginning to bring evil, and you⁺, will you⁺ at all be cleared? You⁺ will not be cleared of guilt. For I am calling for a sword upon all those dwelling in the earth! A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.’
Jeremiah 25:30	And you must prophesy against them all these words, and you are to say to them: ‘YHWH will roar from on high, and from His holy habitation He will give forth His voice; He will roar loudly against His habitation, a shout as of treaders He will give forth unto all those dwelling in the earth.
Jeremiah 25:31	An uproar will come as far as the ends of the earth; for unto YHWH [is] a dispute with the nations, He executes judgment for all flesh, and He will give the wicked to the sword!’” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 25:32	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, disaster goes forth from nation to nation, and a great tempest is raised up from the sides of the earth.
Jeremiah 25:33	And those slain by YHWH shall be on that day from one end of the earth and to the [other] end of the earth; They will not be mourned, and not gathered, and not buried—they will be like dung upon the face of the ground!
Jeremiah 25:34	Wail, O shepherds, and cry out; and roll, O leaders of the flock! For the days of your⁺ slaughter are fulfilled—and of your⁺ dispersions—and you⁺ will fall like a precious vessel.
Jeremiah 25:35	And the place of refuge will perish from the shepherds, and of escape from the leaders of the flock—
Jeremiah 25:36	A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leaders of the flock! For YHWH has spoiled their pasture.
Jeremiah 25:37	And the peaceable habitations are silenced before the face of the burning nose of YHWH.
Jeremiah 25:38	He leaves His lair like the lion, for their land has become as a desolation before the face of the fierceness of the Oppressor, and from the face of the fierceness anger.
Jeremiah 26:1	In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 26:2	“Thus says YHWH: Stand in the courtyard of the house of YHWH and speak over all the cities of Judah who are coming in to worship [at] the house of YHWH all the words that I command you to speak to them. You shall not restrain a word!
Jeremiah 26:3	Perhaps they will listen and turn, each from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the evil of their deeds.
Jeremiah 26:4	And you shall say to them, thus says YHWH: ‘If you⁺ do not listen to Me, to walk in My law that I have set before you⁺,
Jeremiah 26:5	to listen to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending to you⁺, rising up early and sending [them]—and you⁺ have not listened—
Jeremiah 26:6	then I will give this house [to be] like Shiloh, and I will give this city to be a curse for all the nations of the earth.
Jeremiah 26:7	And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 26:8	And it came to pass, as Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that YHWH had commanded [him] to speak to all the people, the priests, and the prophets, that all the people captured him, saying, “You must surely die!
Jeremiah 26:9	Why have you prophesied in the name of YHWH, saying [that] this house will become like Shiloh, and this city will be desolate without one dwelling there?” And all the people gathered against Jeremiah in the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 26:10	And the princes of Judah heard these things, and they came up from the house of the king [to] the house of YHWH, and they sat down in the entrance of the New Gate of YHWH.
Jeremiah 26:11	And the priests and the prophets spoke to the princes and to all the people, saying: “This man deserves to die! For he has prophesied against this city, as you⁺ have heard with your⁺ own ears.
Jeremiah 26:12	And Jeremiah spoke to all the princes and to all the people, saying: “YHWH sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city with all the words that you⁺ have heard.
Jeremiah 26:13	And now, amend your⁺ ways and your⁺ deeds, and obey the voice of YHWH your⁺ God, and YHWH will relent concerning the disaster that He has spoken against you⁺.
Jeremiah 26:14	And I [am] here in your⁺ hand, you may do to me as is good and right in your⁺ eyes.
Jeremiah 26:15	Only know for certain that if you⁺ put me to death, that you⁺ are bringing on yourselves innocent blood—and on this city and on its dwellers; for in truth YHWH has sent me to you⁺ to speak in your⁺ ears all these words.
Jeremiah 26:16	And the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, “This man [is] not worthy of death, for in the name of YHWH our God he has spoken to us.
Jeremiah 26:17	And rose up certain elders of the land, and they spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying:
Jeremiah 26:18	“Micah the Moreshethite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Zion will be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forest.
Jeremiah 26:19	Did Hezekiah king of Judah or anyone in Judah in any way put him to death? Did he not fear YHWH and seek the favor of YHWH? And YHWH relented concerning the disaster that He had spoken against them. And we are doing great evil against our souls!”
Jeremiah 26:20	And also there was a man prophesying in the name of YHWH, Urijah son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim, and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 26:21	And the king Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and all the princes heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. And Urijah heard and was afraid, and he fled and went in to Egypt.
Jeremiah 26:22	And king Jehoiakim sent men to Egypt—Elnathan son of Achbor and men with him—to Egypt,
Jeremiah 26:23	and they brought out Urijah from Egypt and brought him to king Jehoiakim, and he killed him with the sword and cast his corpse into the graves of the sons of the people.
Jeremiah 26:24	Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah so as not to give to him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremiah 27:1	In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah this word came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 27:2	Thus says YHWH to me: “Make for yourself bonds and yokes, and put them upon your neck.
Jeremiah 27:3	And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon by the hand of the messengers having come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
Jeremiah 27:4	And command them toward their masters to say: Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel; thus you⁺ shall say to your⁺ masters:
Jeremiah 27:5	I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to those whom it seemed right in My eyes.
Jeremiah 27:6	And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and also the beasts of the field I have given to him to serve him.
Jeremiah 27:7	And all the nations will serve him, and his son, and the son of his son, until the time of his own land comes—even it. And many nations and great kings will enslave him.
Jeremiah 27:8	And it will come to pass [that] the nation and the kingdom that does not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon—with the sword and with the famine and with the pestilence I will punish that nation, a declaration of YHWH, until I have finished them by his hand.
Jeremiah 27:9	And you⁺, do not listen to your⁺ prophets, and to your⁺ diviners, and to your⁺ dreamers, and to your⁺ soothsayers, and to your⁺ sorcerers, whom they speak to you⁺, saying: ‘You⁺ shall not serve the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:10	For they prophesy a lie to you⁺ so as to remove you⁺ far from your⁺ land; and I will drive you⁺ out, and you⁺ will perish.
Jeremiah 27:11	And the nation that brings their necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, then will I let them rest upon their own land,” a declaration of YHWH, and they shall work it and dwell in it.
Jeremiah 27:12	And to Zedekiah king of Judah I spoke according to all these words, saying: “Bring your⁺ necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Jeremiah 27:13	Why should you⁺ die—you and your people—by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as YHWH has spoken against the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
Jeremiah 27:14	And do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you⁺, saying: ‘You⁺ shall not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they prophesy a lie to you⁺.
Jeremiah 27:15	For I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH, and they prophesy a lie in My name, that I might drive you⁺ out and you⁺ may perish—you⁺ and the prophets prophesying to you⁺.”
Jeremiah 27:16	And to the priests and to all this people, I spoke, saying: “Thus says YHWH: Do not listen to the words of your⁺ prophets prophesying to you⁺, saying: ‘Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH now shortly will be brought back from Babylon!’ For they are prophesying a lie to you⁺.
Jeremiah 27:17	Do not listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon and live! Why should this city be laid waste?
Jeremiah 27:18	And if they [are] prophets, and if the word of YHWH is with them, let them intercede now with YHWH of Hosts that the vessels remaining in the house of YHWH and [in] the house of the king of Judah in Jerusalem not go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 27:19	For thus says YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the Sea, and concerning the carts, and concerning the remainder of the vessels that remain in this city,
Jeremiah 27:20	Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take when he removed Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon—and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 27:21	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels remaining in the house of YHWH, and in the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
Jeremiah 27:22	‘They shall be carried to Babylon, and they shall be there until the day I attend to them, a declaration of YHWH, ‘And I will bring them up, and I will restore them to this place.’”
Jeremiah 28:1	And it came to pass in that year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, [that] Hananiah the son of Azzur prophet, who [was] from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of YHWH before the face of the priests and all the people, saying:
Jeremiah 28:2	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:3	Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the house of YHWH that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon.
Jeremiah 28:4	And Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim the king of Judah and all the captives of Judah who went to Babylon I will bring back to this place’—a declaration of YHWH—‘For I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon!’”
Jeremiah 28:5	And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Hananiah the prophet before the face of the priests and before the face of all the people who stood in the house of YHWH,
Jeremiah 28:6	and Jeremiah the prophet said: “Amen! So may YHWH do [it]! May YHWH perform your words that you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of the house of YHWH, and all the captive, from Babylon to this place.”
Jeremiah 28:7	Nevertheless, hear now this word that I am speaking in your ears and in the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah 28:8	The prophets who have been before me and before you from of old, even they prophesied to many lands and over great kingdoms regarding war and disaster and pestilence.
Jeremiah 28:9	The prophet who prophesies of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, that prophet will be known [as] one whom YHWH truly has sent.
Jeremiah 28:10	And Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke it.
Jeremiah 28:11	And Hananiah spoke before the face of all the people, saying: “Thus says YHWH—‘Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon within two [full] years from the neck of all the nations!’” And Jeremiah the prophet went on his way.
Jeremiah 28:12	And came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah) After Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet), saying:
Jeremiah 28:13	“Go and speak to Hananiah, saying: Thus says YHWH—‘You have broken yokes of wood, and you have fashioned in their place yokes of iron!
Jeremiah 28:14	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the 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 shall serve him. And also I have given the beast of the field to him.’”
Jeremiah 28:15	And Jeremiah the prophet said to Hananiah the prophet: “Hear now, Hananiah! YHWH has not sent you, and you have made this people to trust in a lie!
Jeremiah 28:16	Therefore, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I am going to cast you from the face of the earth. This year you will die, because you have taught rebellion against YHWH.’”
Jeremiah 28:17	And Hananiah the prophet died in that year, in the seventh month.
Jeremiah 29:1	And these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the remaining elders of the captivity, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had removed from Jerusalem to Babylon
Jeremiah 29:2	(after the going forth of Jeconiah the king, and the queen mother, and the eunuchs, and the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the craftsmen, and the smiths, from Jerusalem).
Jeremiah 29:3	By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Babylon, saying:
Jeremiah 29:4	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captive ones, whom I caused to be removed from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jeremiah 29:5	“Build houses and dwell, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.
Jeremiah 29:6	Take wives and beget sons and daughters, and take for your⁺ sons wives, and your⁺ daughters give to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters and multiply there, so that you⁺ shall not decrease.
Jeremiah 29:7	And seek the peace of the city to which I have caused you⁺ to be removed, and pray on its behalf to YHWH for in its peace, there shall be unto you⁺ peace.”
Jeremiah 29:8	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: “Do not let your⁺ prophets and your⁺ diviners that [are] among you⁺ deceive you⁺, and do not listen to your⁺ dreams that you⁺ cause to be dreamed.
Jeremiah 29:9	For falsely they prophesy to you⁺ in My name; I have not sent them, a declaration of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 29:10	For thus says YHWH: “Surely after seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you⁺ and perform My good word over you⁺, to make you⁺ return to this place.
Jeremiah 29:11	For I know the plans that I think toward you⁺, a declaration of YHWH, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you⁺ a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:12	And you⁺ will call Me and will go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you⁺.
Jeremiah 29:13	And you⁺ will seek Me and you⁺ will find, when you⁺ search for Me with all your⁺ heart.
Jeremiah 29:14	And I will be found by you⁺, a declaration of YHWH, and I will turn back your⁺ captivity, and I will gather you⁺ from all the nations and from all the places to which I have driven you⁺ there, a declaration of YHWH, and I will bring you⁺ to the place from which I caused you⁺ to be carried away captive from there.
Jeremiah 29:15	Because you⁺ have said, “YHWH has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,
Jeremiah 29:16	surely thus says YHWH concerning the king sitting on the throne of David, and concerning all the people dwelling in this city and your⁺ brothers who have not gone out with you⁺ into captivity—
Jeremiah 29:17	thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am sending upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and I will make them like rotten figs that cannot be eaten for badness.
Jeremiah 29:18	And I will pursue after them with the sword, with famine, and with the pestilence, and I will deliver them to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and as a horror, and as a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations to which I have driven them there.
Jeremiah 29:19	Because that they did not listen to My words, a declaration of YHWH, Which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending, and you would not listen! A declaration of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 29:20	And you⁺, hear the word of YHWH, all of the captivity whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Jeremiah 29:21	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, those prophesying to you⁺ a lie in My name: “Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will strike them before your⁺ eyes!
Jeremiah 29:22	And because of them shall be taken up a curse for all the captivity of Judah who [are] in Babylon, saying: ‘May YHWH make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!
Jeremiah 29:23	Because that they have done folly in Israel and have committed adultery with the wives of their neighbors, and have spoken false words in My name, which I have not commanded them. And I [am] the One knowing, and a witness, a declaration of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 29:24	And to Shemaiah the Nehelamite you shall speak, saying:
Jeremiah 29:25	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: “Because that you have sent letters in your name to all the people who [are] in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jeremiah 29:26	‘YHWH has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, that you should be officers [in] the house of YHWH over every man [who is] mad and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in prison and in the stocks.
Jeremiah 29:27	And now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah the Anathothite, who is making himself a prophet to you⁺?
Jeremiah 29:28	For upon thus he has sent to us [in] Babylon, saying it [is] long, build houses and dwell, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.’”
Jeremiah 29:29	And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah 29:30	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 29:31	“Send to all those of the captivity, saying, thus says YHWH concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you⁺, and I have not send him, and he has made you⁺ trust in a lie,
Jeremiah 29:32	therefore thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I will attend to Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his family. There shall not be unto him a man dwelling in the midst of this people, and he shall not see the good that I am going to do for My people, a declaration of YHWH, because he has spoken rebellion against YHWH.
Jeremiah 30:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 30:2	“Thus speaks YHWH God of Israel, saying: ‘Write for yourself all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
Jeremiah 30:3	For, behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, when I turn back the captivity of My people Israel and Judah—says YHWH—and I will return them to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Jeremiah 30:4	And these [are] the words that YHWH spoke concerning Israel and Judah.
Jeremiah 30:5	For thus says YHWH: “We have heard a voice of trembling, of dread and not of peace.
Jeremiah 30:6	Ask now, and see, can a male give birth? Why have I seen every man [with] his hands on his loins like a woman in labor, and all faces have turned pale?
Jeremiah 30:7	Alas, for great [is] that day, so that none [is] like it! And a time of distress it [is] for Jacob, and he will be saved from it.
Jeremiah 30:8	And it will come to pass on that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts—[that] I will break his yoke from your neck, and your bonds I will burst, and no longer will strangers enslave him.
Jeremiah 30:9	And they shall serve YHWH their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them.
Jeremiah 30:10	And you, do not fear, My servant O Jacob, a declaration of YHWH, and do not be dismayed, O Israel. For behold, I I am saving you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob will return and have quiet, and he will find rest, and no one will make [him] afraid.
Jeremiah 30:11	For I [am] with you, a declaration of YHWH, to save you. Though I make a full end of all the nations to which I have scattered you there, yet of you I will not make a full end, and I will discipline you with justice, and I will not leave you unpunished.”
Jeremiah 30:12	For thus says YHWH: “Your breach is incurable; your wound [is] grievous.
Jeremiah 30:13	[There is] no one pleading your cause, that you may be bound up. Unto you [are] no healing medicines.
Jeremiah 30:14	All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you. For with the wound of an enemy I have struck you, the disciplining of a cruel one, over the multitude of your iniquities; your sins are numerous.
Jeremiah 30:15	Why do you cry out concerning your breach? Your pain [is] incurable. Concerning the multitude of your iniquities, your sins are numerous; I have done these [things] to you.
Jeremiah 30:16	Therefore all those devouring you will be devoured; and all your adversaries, all of them, will go into captivity, and those plundering you will be as plunder, and all preying upon you I will give as prey.
Jeremiah 30:17	For I will bring up health to you, and I will heal you from your wounds, a declaration of YHWH; for they called you an outcast: This [is] Zion; no one is searching for her.”
Jeremiah 30:18	Thus says YHWH: “Behold, I will turn back the captivity of the tents of Jacob, and [on] his dwelling places I will have compassion; and the city will be rebuilt upon its own mound, and the palace will sit according to its ordinance.
Jeremiah 30:19	And from them shall go forth thanksgiving and the voice of those being glad; and I will multiply them and they will not be diminished, and I will glorify them and they will not be small.
Jeremiah 30:20	And their children will be as aforetime, and their congregation will be established before Me, and I will punish upon all those oppressing them.
Jeremiah 30:21	And their noble will be from him, and their governor will come from his midst; and I will cause him to come near, and he will draw near to Me, for who is this who has pledged his heart to draw near to Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 30:22	“And you⁺ will be unto Me a people, and I will be unto you⁺ for God.”
Jeremiah 30:23	Behold, the tempest of YHWH! Fury has gone forth, a tempest journeying out; upon the head of the wicked it will twist [down].
Jeremiah 30:24	The fierce anger of YHWH will not turn back, until He has done it and until He has established the purposes of His heart. In the latter days you⁺ will understand it.
Jeremiah 31:1	“At that time,” a declaration of YHWH, “I will be God for all the families of Israel, and they will be unto Me for a people.
Jeremiah 31:2	Thus says YHWH: “The people surviving the sword found grace in the wilderness when Israel went to find rest.”
Jeremiah 31:3	YHWH has appeared to me from afar: “I have loved you [with] an everlasting love; upon thus I have drawn you with loving devotion.
Jeremiah 31:4	Again I will build you, and you will be rebuilt, O virgin Israel! Again you will put on your tambourines, and you will go forth in the dances of those who rejoice.
Jeremiah 31:5	Again you will plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; planters will plant, and they will [eat] freely.
Jeremiah 31:6	For there will be a day [when] those keeping watch on Mount Ephraim call out: ‘Arise, and let us go up [to] Zion, to YHWH our God.’”
Jeremiah 31:7	For thus says YHWH: “Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations; make [it] heard, give praise and say, ‘Save, O YHWH, Your people, the remnant of Israel!’
Jeremiah 31:8	Behold, I am bringing them from the north country, and I will gather them from the ends of the earth—among them the blind and the lame, the one pregnant and the one giving birth together; a great assembly will return here.
Jeremiah 31:9	They will come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them; I will cause them to walk to the rivers of waters by a way [that is] straight; they will not stumble in it. For I am unto Israel for a Father, and Ephraim he [is] My firstborn.”
Jeremiah 31:10	Hear the word of YHWH, O nations, and declare [it] in the isles afar off, and say: “The One having scattered Israel will gather him and keep him as a shepherd [does] his flock.
Jeremiah 31:11	For YHWH has redeemed Jacob, and He has ransomed him from the hand of one stronger than he.
Jeremiah 31:12	And they will come and sing on the height of Zion, and they will beam to the goodness of YHWH, over wheat, and over new wine, and over oil, and over the young of the flock and herd; and their souls will be well-watered like a garden, and they will add to languish no more.
Jeremiah 31:13	Then the virgin will rejoice with dancing, and the young men and the old together; and I will turn their mourning to joy, and I will comfort them and make them rejoice rather than sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:14	And I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people will be satisfied with My goodness,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 31:15	Thus says YHWH: “A voice is heard in Ramah, wailing [and] weeping of bitterness—Rachel weeping for her children, [and] refusing to be comforted over her children, because they are no more.”
Jeremiah 31:16	Thus says YHWH: “Restrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears; for there will be reward for your work, a declaration of YHWH, and they will return from the land of the enemy.
Jeremiah 31:17	And there is hope for your future, a declaration of YHWH, and [your] children will return to their own border.
Jeremiah 31:18	I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself: ‘You disciplined me, and I was disciplined as an untrained heifer; turn me back and I will return, for You [are] YHWH my God.
Jeremiah 31:19	For after my turning back, I repented; and after I was instructed, I struck myself on the thigh; I was ashamed and also humiliated, because I bore the disgrace of my youth.’
Jeremiah 31:20	[Is] Ephraim My dear son, or a child of delights? For though I spoke against him, I thoroughly remember him still. Upon thus My bowels yearn for him, I have great compassion for him,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 31:21	“Set up for yourself signposts, make for yourself landmarks; set your heart toward the highway, the way you have traveled. Turn back, O virgin Israel, turn back to these cities of yours.
Jeremiah 31:22	How long will you waver, O backsliding daughter? For YHWH has created a new [thing] in the earth: A woman will encompass a man.”
Jeremiah 31:23	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: “Once more they will speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I turn back their captivity: ‘YHWH bless you, O abode of righteousness, mountain of holiness!
Jeremiah 31:24	And there will dwell in Judah, in it and in all its cities together, the farmers and those setting out with their flock.
Jeremiah 31:25	For I will satisfy the weary soul and fill every sorrowful soul.
Jeremiah 31:26	After this I awoke and looked around, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
Jeremiah 31:27	“Behold, the days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “When I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah [with] the seed of man and the seed of beast.
Jeremiah 31:28	And it will come to pass, as I have watched over them, to pluck up and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to bring harm; so I will watch over them to build and to plant, a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 31:29	“In those days they will say no more, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the teeth of the children are set on edge.’
Jeremiah 31:30	But instead, each man will die by his iniquity; [for] every man eating the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.
Jeremiah 31:31	Behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah—
Jeremiah 31:32	not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, in that they broke My covenant, and I was a husband to them, a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 31:33	“For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel, after those days, a declaration of YHWH: I will give My law in their inward parts, and I will write it upon their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
Jeremiah 31:34	And they will teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know YHWH; for all of them will know Me, from the least of them and to the greatest of them, a declaration of YHWH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Jeremiah 31:35	Thus says YHWH, who gives the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea when its waves roar—YHWH of Hosts [is] His name:
Jeremiah 31:36	“If these ordinances depart from before Me, a declaration of YHWH, even the seed of Israel will cease from being a nation before Me all the days.”
Jeremiah 31:37	Thus says YHWH: “If the heavens above could be measured, and the foundations of the earth below searched out, also I will cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 31:38	“Behold,” the days, declares YHWH, “That the city will be built for YHWH, from the Tower of Hananel to the Gate of the Corner.
Jeremiah 31:39	And the measuring line will go again straight over the hill Gareb, and then turn toward Goah.
Jeremiah 31:40	And all the valley of the carcasses and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Valley of Kidron to the corner of the Gate of the Horse toward the east, [are] holy unto YHWH; it will not be plucked up and not thrown down anymore forever.
Jeremiah 32:1	The word that came to be to Jeremiah from YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which [was] the eighth year [and] tenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Jeremiah 32:2	And then the army of the king of Babylon was pressing upon Jerusalem, and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard that [was] [in] the house of the king of Judah.
Jeremiah 32:3	For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why [are] you prophesying, saying, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Jeremiah 32:4	And Zedekiah king of Judah will not escape from the hand of the Chaldeans, but he will surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him face to face, and will see him eye to eye;
Jeremiah 32:5	and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon and there he will be until I visit him, a declaration of YHWH. If you⁺ fight against the Chaldeans, you⁺ will not succeed.’
Jeremiah 32:6	And Jeremiah said: “The word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Jeremiah 32:7	Behold, Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is coming to you, saying, ‘Buy for yourself my field that [is] in Anathoth, for unto you [is] the right of redemption to buy [it].
Jeremiah 32:8	And Hanamel son of my uncle came to me, according to the word of YHWH, in the court of the guard, and he said to me: ‘Buy now my field that [is] in Anathoth, which [is] in the country of Benjamin. For unto you [is] the right of inheritance, and unto you the redemption; buy [it] for yourself.’” And I knew that it [was] the word of YHWH.
Jeremiah 32:9	And I bought the field that [was] in Anathoth from Hanamel son of my uncle, and I weighed out for him the silver, seven shekels and ten of silver.
Jeremiah 32:10	And I wrote in the account and sealed [it], and I took witnesses, and weighed out the silver in the scales.
Jeremiah 32:11	And I took the account of the purchase—that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open—
Jeremiah 32:12	and I gave the account of the purchase to Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, before Hanamel of my uncle, and before the witnesses having written in the account of the purchase, [and] before all the Jews sitting in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 32:13	And I commanded Baruch before their eyes, saying:
Jeremiah 32:14	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these accounts, this account of the purchase—that which is sealed and this account that is open—and put them in an earthenware vessel, that they may stand many days.
Jeremiah 32:15	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Again houses and fields and vineyards will be possessed in this land.”
Jeremiah 32:16	And I prayed to YHWH after I had delivered the account of the purchase to Baruch son of Neriah, saying:
Jeremiah 32:17	“Ah Lord YHWH! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is not anything [too] difficult for You—
Jeremiah 32:18	showing loving devotion to thousands and recompensing the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them, O God great [and] Mighty—YHWH of Hosts [is] His name—
Jeremiah 32:19	great in counsel and mighty in deed. Your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men, to give to each man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his deeds.
Jeremiah 32:20	You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt to this day, and in Israel, and among men; and You have made for Yourself a name, as at this day.
Jeremiah 32:21	And You have brought forth Your people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror.
Jeremiah 32:22	And You gave to them this land that You swore to their fathers to give to them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Jeremiah 32:23	And they came in and possessed it, and they did not listen to Your voice, and in Your law they did not walk. All that You commanded them to do they have not done. And so You made to befall them all this evil.
Jeremiah 32:24	Behold! The siege ramps have come to the city to take it, and the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans who are fighting against it, by the face of the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence. And [that] which You have spoken has come to pass—and behold, You are seeing [it]!
Jeremiah 32:25	And You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver, to testify and cause witnesses—even though the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’”
Jeremiah 32:26	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 32:27	“Behold, I [am] YHWH, the God of all flesh. Is anything [too] difficult for Me?
Jeremiah 32:28	Therefore thus says YHWH: Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Jeremiah 32:29	And the Chaldeans fighting against this city will come in, and they will set this city on fire and will burn it, along with the houses on whose roofs they offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods so as to provoke Me to anger.
Jeremiah 32:30	For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been only doing evil from their youth in My eyes; for the sons of Israel surely have provoked Me to anger by the work of their hands! A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 32:31	For upon My anger and My fury this city has been unto Me from the day that they built it even to this day, and I will turn it aside from before My face,
Jeremiah 32:32	because of all the evil of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and those dwelling in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 32:33	And they have turned to Me the neck and not the face, though I taught them, rising up early and teaching, and they have not listened to receive instruction.
Jeremiah 32:34	And they set their abominations in the house upon which My name is called, to defile it.
Jeremiah 32:35	And they built the high places of Baal, that [are] in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, to make their daughters and their sons pass through unto Molech—which I did not command them, and it did not come upon My heart that they should do this abomination, so as to cause Judah to sin.
Jeremiah 32:36	And now, therefore, thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you⁺ are saying, ‘It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:’
Jeremiah 32:37	Behold, I am going to gather them from all the lands to which I have driven them there in My anger and in My fury and in great wrath, and I will return them to this place, and I will cause them to dwell in safety.
Jeremiah 32:38	And they will be unto Me for a people, and I will be unto them God.
Jeremiah 32:39	And I will give to them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me all the days, for the good of them and of their sons after them.
Jeremiah 32:40	And I will make with them a covenant forever, that I will not turn away from them My doing good, and My fear I will put in their hearts, and that they will not turn aside from Me.
Jeremiah 32:41	And I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land in truth, with all My heart and with all My soul.
Jeremiah 32:42	For thus says YHWH: As I have brought to this people all this great evil, so I am bringing in upon them all the good that I am speaking over them.
Jeremiah 32:43	And it will be bought—the field in this land of which you⁺ say, ‘It [is] desolate with no man or beast; it has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
Jeremiah 32:44	They will buy fields for money and sign accounts and seal [them], and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negev; for I will turn back their captivity, a declaration of YHWH.”
Jeremiah 33:1	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah a second [time] (and he was still shut up in the court of the guard), saying:
Jeremiah 33:2	“Thus says YHWH, who made the earth, YHWH who formed it to establish it—YHWH [is] His name:
Jeremiah 33:3	Call to Me and I will answer you, and will show to you great and hidden [things] [that] you have not known.
Jeremiah 33:4	For thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah pulled down against the siege mounds and against the sword:
Jeremiah 33:5	They are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans and to fill them with the carcasses of the men whom I will slay in My anger and in My fury, and for whom I have hidden My face from this city and over all their evil.
Jeremiah 33:6	Behold, I will bring to it health and healing; and I will heal them and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah 33:7	And I will turn back the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and I will rebuild them as at the first.
Jeremiah 33:8	And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will forgive all their iniquities by which they have sinned against Me and by which they have transgressed against Me.
Jeremiah 33:9	And it will be for Me as a name of joy, as a praise and as an honor before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good that I am doing [for] them, and they will dread and will tremble over all the goodness and over all the prosperity that I will provide for it.
Jeremiah 33:10	Thus says YHWH: Once again there will be heard in this place of which you⁺ say it [is] desolate without man and without beast, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate without man and without inhabitant and without beast,
Jeremiah 33:11	the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those saying—‘Praise YHWH of Hosts, for YHWH [is] good, for His loving devotion [is] forever’—of those bringing thank offerings into the house of YHWH. For I will turn back the captivity of the land as at the first, says YHWH.
Jeremiah 33:12	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, there will be a dwelling place of shepherds causing the flock to lie down.
Jeremiah 33:13	In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negev, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flock will pass again under the hands of the one counting, says YHWH.
Jeremiah 33:14	Behold, the days are coming, a declaration of YHWH, when I will establish the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
Jeremiah 33:15	In those days and at that time I will cause to spring up for David a Branch of righteousness, and he will do justice and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah 33:16	In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will dwell in safety; and this [is] [is] what will be called unto her: YHWH Tsidqenu.
Jeremiah 33:17	For thus says YHWH: David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
Jeremiah 33:18	nor will the priests, the Levites, lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice all the days.
Jeremiah 33:19	And came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 33:20	“Thus says YHWH: If you⁺ can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there will not be day and night in their season,
Jeremiah 33:21	then also My covenant may be broken with David My servant, from there being unto him a son reigning on his throne; so with the Levites, the priests, those ministering to Me.
Jeremiah 33:22	As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so will I multiply the seed of David My servant and the Levites ministering to Me.
Jeremiah 33:23	And came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 33:24	“Have you not considered what this people have spoken, saying, ‘The two families that YHWH has chosen, and He has rejected them? Thus they have despised My people from being anymore a nation before them.
Jeremiah 33:25	Thus says YHWH: If My covenant [is] not with day and night, [and if] I have not appointed the fixed orders of the heavens and earth,
Jeremiah 33:26	then the seed of Jacob and David My servant will I refuse to take from his seed to be reigning over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will turn back their captivity, and T will have mercy on them.
Jeremiah 34:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth under the dominion of his hand, and all the people fought against Jerusalem and against all its cities, saying:
Jeremiah 34:2	Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and say to him, thus says YHWH: “Behold, I am giving this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with the fire.
Jeremiah 34:3	And you will not escape from his hand, but you will surely be captured and given into his hand, and your eyes will see the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he will speak with you face to face, and you will go to Babylon.
Jeremiah 34:4	Yet hear the word of YHWH, O Zedekiah king of Judah! Thus says YHWH concerning you: You will not die by the sword.
Jeremiah 34:5	You will die in peace. And with the burnings of your fathers, the former kings who were before you, so they will burn for you, and will they lament for you: ‘Alas O lord! For I have spoken the word,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 34:6	And Jeremiah the prophet spoke to Zedekiah the king of Judah all these words in Jerusalem,
Jeremiah 34:7	and the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the cities of Judah that were left—against Lachish and against Azekah. For these fortified cities remained among the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah 34:8	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH after King Zedekiah had cut a covenant with all the people who [were] at Jerusalem, to proclaim to them liberty,
Jeremiah 34:9	that each man should send forth free his manservant and his maidservant, a Hebrew or a Hebrewess, that none of them should lay service on a Jew, his fellow man.
Jeremiah 34:10	And they agreed, all the princes and all the people who had come into this covenant, to send forth free each man his manservant and his maidservant, so as not to lay service on them anymore. And they agreed and sent [them] forth.
Jeremiah 34:11	And they turned around after thus, the menservants and the maidservants made return whom they had sent forth free, and they subjected them as menservants and as maidservants.
Jeremiah 34:12	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 34:13	“Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: I cut a covenant with your⁺ fathers in the day that I brought them from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves, saying:
Jeremiah 34:14	At the end of seven years you⁺ will send forth each man his brother, the Hebrew who has been sold to him. When he has served you six years, then you will send him forth free from you. Your⁺ fathers did not listen to Me and they did not incline their ear.
Jeremiah 34:15	And you⁺ turned this day and did right in My eyes, proclaiming liberty, each man to his neighbor. And you⁺ cut a covenant before Me in the house upon which My name is called.
Jeremiah 34:16	And you⁺ turned back and profaned My name, and each man his manservant and his maidservant whom he had sent forth free according to their soul, you⁺ made return and subjected them to become for you⁺ as menservants and maidservants.
Jeremiah 34:17	Therefore, thus says YHWH: You⁺ have not listened to Me [in] proclaiming liberty, each man to his brother, and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming to you⁺ liberty, a declaration of YHWH, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine! And I will give have to trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth.
Jeremiah 34:18	And I will give the men having transgressed My covenant, who have not made stand the words of the covenant that they cut before Me, when they cut the calf in two and passed between the parts of it—
Jeremiah 34:19	the princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, those passing between the parts of the calf!
Jeremiah 34:20	And I will give them into the hand of their enemies and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and their corpses will be as meat for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah 34:21	And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes I will give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those seeking their soul, and into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon that has gone up from upon you⁺.
Jeremiah 34:22	Behold, I am giving the command, a declaration of YHWH, and I will cause them to return to this city, and they will make war against it and will take it and will burn it with fire. And the cities of Judah I will make a desolation without inhabitant.
Jeremiah 35:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying:
Jeremiah 35:2	“Go to the house of the Rechabites and speak to them, and bring them [to] the house of YHWH, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
Jeremiah 35:3	And I took Jaazaniah son of Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and all the house of the Rechabites,
Jeremiah 35:4	and I brought them [to] the house of YHWH, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan son of Igdaliah, a man of God, that [was] beside the chamber of the princes, that [was] above the chamber of Maaseiah son of Shallum, the keeper of the door.
Jeremiah 35:5	And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pitchers full of wine, and cups, and I said to them: “Drink wine.
Jeremiah 35:6	And they said, “We will not drink wine,” for Jonadab son of Rechab our father commanded to us, saying, ‘You shall not drink wine, you⁺ or your⁺ sons, even to forever.
Jeremiah 35:7	And you⁺ shall not build a house, and you⁺ shall not sow seed, and you⁺ shall not plant a vineyard and not will one be unto you⁺. But in tents you⁺ shall dwell all your⁺ days, that you⁺ may live many days in the land where you⁺ [are] sojourning there.
Jeremiah 35:8	And we have listened to the voice of Jonadab son of Rechab our father in all that he has commanded us, so as not to drink wine all our days—we, our wives, our sons, and our daughters—
Jeremiah 35:9	and so as not to build houses for our dwelling, and not is unto us a vineyard or field or seed.
Jeremiah 35:10	And we have dwelt in tents, and we have heard and done according to all that Jonadab our father has commanded us.
Jeremiah 35:11	And it came to pass with the coming up of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to the land, that we said, ‘Come, and let us go [to] Jerusalem before the face of the army of the Chaldeans and before the face of the army of Aram.’ So we dwell in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 35:12	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 35:13	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Go and say to the men of Judah and to those dwelling in Jerusalem, “Will you⁺ not receive instruction to obey My words,” a declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 35:14	The words of Jonadab son of Rechab that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, have been performed. And they have not drunk until this day, [and] indeed they have heard the command of their father. And I have spoken to you⁺, rising early and speaking, and you⁺ have not listened to Me.
Jeremiah 35:15	And I have sent to you⁺ all My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending [them], saying, ‘Turn now [each] man, from his evil way, and amend your⁺ works, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land that I have given to you⁺ and to your⁺ fathers.’ But you would not incline your⁺ ear, and you⁺ did not listen to Me!
Jeremiah 35:16	So the sons of Jonadab son of Rechab have done the commandment of their father, which he commanded them, and this people have not listened to Me.
Jeremiah 35:17	Therefore, thus says YHWH God of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I am bringing to Judah and to all those dwelling in Jerusalem all the evil that I have spoken against them, because I have spoken to them and they have not listened, and I have called to them and they have not answered.’”
Jeremiah 35:18	And to the house of the Rechabites Jeremiah said, “Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Because that you⁺ have listened upon the commandment of Jonadab your⁺ father, and have kept all his precepts, and have done according to all that he commanded you⁺,
Jeremiah 35:19	therefore thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: For Jonadab son of Rechab will not lack a man to stand before Me all the days.’”
Jeremiah 36:1	And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, [that] this word came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying:
Jeremiah 36:2	“Take for yourself a scroll of a book, and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah even to this day.
Jeremiah 36:3	Perhaps the house of Judah will hear all the disaster that I am planning to bring upon them, so that [each] man might turn back from his evil way; and I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jeremiah 36:4	And Jeremiah called Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of YHWH that He had spoken to him on a scroll of a book.
Jeremiah 36:5	And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying: “I [am] restrained; I am not able to enter the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 36:6	And you are to go and call out from the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of YHWH into the ears of the people in the house of YHWH, on the day of fasting. And also you shall read them into the ears of all Judah who are coming from their cities.
Jeremiah 36:7	Perhaps their plea for mercy will fall before YHWH, and each man will turn back from his evil way—for great [is] the anger and the fury [with] which YHWH has spoken against this people!
Jeremiah 36:8	And Baruch son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet had commanded him, calling out from the book of the words of YHWH [in] the house of YHWH.
Jeremiah 36:9	And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, [that] they called a fast before YHWH to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 36:10	And Baruch called out from the book of the words of Jeremiah in the house of YHWH, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court at the entrance of the New Gate of the house of YHWH, into the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah 36:11	And Micaiah son of Gemariah son of Shaphan heard all the words of YHWH from the book,
Jeremiah 36:12	and he went down to the house of the king, into the chamber of the scribe, and there all the princes were sitting—Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Jeremiah 36:13	And Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read from the book into the ears of the people.
Jeremiah 36:14	And all the princes sent to Baruch Jehudi son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi, saying: “The scroll, which you have called out from it into the ears of the people, take it in your hand and come.” And Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.
Jeremiah 36:15	And they said to him, “Sit down, now, and read it in our ears.” And Baruch read it in their ears.
Jeremiah 36:16	And it came to pass at their hearing all the words, that they were in fear, each man to his neighbor, and said to Baruch: “We must surely declare to the king all these words.
Jeremiah 36:17	And they asked Baruch, saying: “Declare, please, to us how did you write all these words? From his mouth?
Jeremiah 36:18	And Baruch gave the answer to them: “From his mouth he called out to me all these words, and I was writing upon the book in ink.
Jeremiah 36:19	And the princes said to Baruch, “Go and hide yourself, you and Jeremiah! And do not let a man know where you⁺ [are].
Jeremiah 36:20	And they went to the king, [into] the court, and they stored the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe; and they declared in the ears of the king all the words.
Jeremiah 36:21	And the king sent Jehudi to take the scroll, and he took it from the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who were standing beside the king.
Jeremiah 36:22	And the king was sitting in the house of the winter in the ninth month, and the hearth before his face was burning.
Jeremiah 36:23	And it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns [that] he cut it with the knife of a scribe and cast [it] into the fire that [was] on the hearth, until all the scroll was consumed upon the fire that [was] on the hearth.
Jeremiah 36:24	And they were not afraid and they did not tear their garments—the king and his servants who heard all these words.
Jeremiah 36:25	And even Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah implored the king to not burn the scroll, and he would not listen to them.
Jeremiah 36:26	And the king commanded Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to seize Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; and YHWH hid them away.
Jeremiah 36:27	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying:
Jeremiah 36:28	“Return, take for yourself another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were upon the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah has burned.
Jeremiah 36:29	And you shall say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, thus says YHWH: You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written on it saying the king of Babylon would surely come and destroy this land and cause to cease from it man and beast?
Jeremiah 36:30	Therefore thus says YHWH concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: There will be no one unto him to sit on the throne of David, and his dead body will be cast out into the heat of the day and into the frost of the night!
Jeremiah 36:31	And I will visit punishment upon him and upon his family and upon his servants [for] their iniquity, and I will bring on them and on those dwelling in Jerusalem and on the men of Judah all the disaster that I have spoken against them, and they did not listen.
Jeremiah 36:32	And Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he wrote on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and besides [these] were added to them many like words.
Jeremiah 37:1	And king Zedekiah son of Josiah reigned in place of Coniah son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah 37:2	And he did not listen—he and his servants and the people of the land—to the words of YHWH that He spoke by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah 37:3	And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah son of Maaseiah the priest to Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “Pray, please, for us to YHWH our God.
Jeremiah 37:4	And Jeremiah was coming and going in the midst of the people, and they had not put him in the house of imprisonment.
Jeremiah 37:5	And the army of Pharaoh had come up from Egypt, and the Chaldeans laying siege on Jerusalem heard news of them, and they went up from Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 37:6	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
Jeremiah 37:7	“Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: Thus you⁺ will say to the king of Judah, the one sending you⁺ to Me to inquire of Me, ‘Behold, the army of Pharaoh, which has come up to help you⁺, will return [to] Egypt, to its own land.
Jeremiah 37:8	And the Chaldeans will return again and will make war against this city, and they will capture it and burn it with the fire!
Jeremiah 37:9	Thus says YHWH: Do not deceive yourselves, saying, ‘The Chaldeans will surely depart from us.’ For they will not depart.
Jeremiah 37:10	For if you⁺ were to strike all the force of the Chaldeans who are fighting against you⁺, and there remained among them [only] wounded men, then they would rise up, each man in his tent, and burn this city with fire!
Jeremiah 37:11	And it came to pass in the going up of the army of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem for fear of the army of Pharaoh,
Jeremiah 37:12	that Jeremiah went forth from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin to divide from there in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah 37:13	And it came to pass when he [was] in the Gate of Benjamin, that a captain of the guard [was] there, and his name [was] Irijah son of Shelemiah son of Hananiah. And he seized Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “To the Chaldeans you are falling away!
Jeremiah 37:14	And Jeremiah said, “Falsehood!” I am not falling away to the Chaldeans.” And he would not listen to him, and Irijah seized Jeremiah and brought him to the princes.
Jeremiah 37:15	And the princes were angry at Jeremiah, and they struck him and put him in the house of bond in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made [it] into a house of restraint.
Jeremiah 37:16	When Jeremiah came into the house of the dungeon and into the cells, then Jeremiah dwelt there many days.
Jeremiah 37:17	And the king Zedekiah sent and took him out, and the king asked him in his house in secret and said: “Is there a word from YHWH?” And Jeremiah said, “There is.” And he said, “Into the hand of the king of Babylon you will be given!
Jeremiah 37:18	And Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, “What wrong have I done against you and against your servants and against this people, that you⁺ have put me into the house of restraint?
Jeremiah 37:19	Where indeed [are] your⁺ prophets who prophesied to you⁺, saying, ‘The king of Babylon will not come against you⁺ or against this land’?
Jeremiah 37:20	and now listen, please, O my lord the king: Let my petition, please, be accepted before you, and do not make me return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, that I should not die there.
Jeremiah 37:21	And king the Zedekiah ordered that they should commit Jeremiah to the court of the guard and give to him a piece of bread day by day out of the street of the bakers, until all the bread in the city was finished. Thus Jeremiah dwelt in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 38:1	Then Shephatiah son of Mattan, and Gedaliah son of Pashhur, and Jucal son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur son of Malchijah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken to all the people, saying:
Jeremiah 38:2	“Thus says YHWH: He who remains in this city will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, and the one going forth to the Chaldeans will live, and his life will be to him for a prey, and he will live.
Jeremiah 38:3	Thus says YHWH: “This city is surely given into the hand of the army of the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.”
Jeremiah 38:4	And the princes said to the king, “Please, let this man be put to death, for by this he is weakening the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, speaking to them these words. For this man is not seeking the well-being of this people, but only the harm.
Jeremiah 38:5	And the king Zedekiah said, “Behold, he [is] in your⁺ hands; for there is not a thing the king can do against you⁺.
Jeremiah 38:6	And they took Jeremiah and cast him into the pit of Malchiah son of the king that [was] in the court of the guard. And they sent down Jeremiah with the ropes. And in the cistern there was not water, but only mud, and Jeremiah sank in the mud.
Jeremiah 38:7	And Ebed-melech the Cushite, a eunuch who [was] in the king’s house, heard that they had put Jeremiah into the cistern—and the king was sitting at the Gate of Benjamin—
Jeremiah 38:8	and Ebed-melech went forth from the house of the king, and he spoke to the king, saying:
Jeremiah 38:9	“My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the cistern; and he is likely to die from hunger in his place, for there is no more bread in the city.
Jeremiah 38:10	And the king commanded Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying: “Take with you from this [place] thirty men and lift Jeremiah the prophet out the pit before he dies.
Jeremiah 38:11	And Ebed-melech took the men with him, and he went into the house of the king under the treasury, and he took from there worn-out clothes and worn-out rags and let them down by cords into the cistern to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 38:12	And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah: “Please put worn-out clothes and rags under the joints of your arms, under the cords.” And Jeremiah did so.
Jeremiah 38:13	And they drew up Jeremiah with the cords, and they lifted him from the cistern; and Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Jeremiah 38:14	And the king Zedekiah sent, and he took Jeremiah the prophet to him at the third entrance of the house of YHWH; and the king said to Jeremiah: “I am going to ask you a thing; do not hide from me a thing.”
Jeremiah 38:15	And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “If I declare [it] to you, will you not surely put me to death? And if I should advise you, you will not listen to me.”
Jeremiah 38:16	And the king Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in secret, saying, “As YHWH lives, who made for us this soul, I will not put you to death, nor will I give you into the hand of these men who are seeking your soul!
Jeremiah 38:17	And Jeremiah said to Zedekiah: “Thus says YHWH, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you will surely go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then your soul will live and this city will not be burned with fire; and you will live—you and your house.
Jeremiah 38:18	And if you do not go forth to the princes of the king of Babylon, then this city will be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they will burn it with fire, and you will not escape from their hands!’”
Jeremiah 38:19	And the king Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “I am afraid of the Jews who have fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they give me into their hand, and they heap abuse on me.
Jeremiah 38:20	And Jeremiah said: “They will not give!” Hear now the voice of YHWH, which I am going to speak to you, that it may go well with you and your soul may live.
Jeremiah 38:21	If you refuse to go out, this [is] the word that YHWH has shown me.
Jeremiah 38:22	And behold, all the women who are remaining in the house of the king of Judah are being brought out to the princes of the king of Babylon, and they will say, ‘They have deceived you and prevailed against you—men of your well-being; your feet have sunk in the mire; they have turned the back.’
Jeremiah 38:23	And all your wives and children will be brought out to the Chaldeans, and you will not escape from their hand, for you will be seized by the hand of the king of Babylon, and this city will burn with fire.”
Jeremiah 38:24	And Zedekiah said to Jeremiah: “Let no man know of these words, and you will not die.
Jeremiah 38:25	And when the princes hear that I have spoken with you, and they come to you and say to you, ‘Declare now to us what you have said to the king—do not hide [it] from us, and we will not put you to death—and what the king said to you:’
Jeremiah 38:26	And you shall say to them ‘I caused my supplication to fall before the king, that he would not make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.’”
Jeremiah 38:27	And all the princes came to Jeremiah, and asked him, and he declared to them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they stopped speaking with him, for the matter had not been heard.
Jeremiah 38:28	And Jeremiah dwelt in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was captured. And he was there when Jerusalem was captured.
Jeremiah 39:1	In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came against Jerusalem and laid siege against it.
Jeremiah 39:2	And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the city was broken through.
Jeremiah 39:3	And all the officials of the king of Babylon came [in] and sat in the Middle Gate: Of Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:4	And it came to pass when Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, that they fled and went out by night from the city [by] the way of the king’s garden, by the gate between the two walls; and he went out [by] way of the Arabah.
Jeremiah 39:5	And the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and they overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. And they seized him, and they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he spoke against him judgment.
Jeremiah 39:6	And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes; and also the king of Babylon killed all the nobles of Judah.
Jeremiah 39:7	And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and he bound him with bronze fetters to bring him to Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:8	And the house of the king, and the houses of the people, the Chaldeans burned with fire, and they tore down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah 39:9	And the remnant of the people, those remaining in the city, and those falling away who fell to him, and the remainder of the people that remained, Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guards exiled to Babylon.
Jeremiah 39:10	And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards left some of the poor of the people, who not a thing [was] unto them in the land of Judah, and he gave to them vineyards and fields at that time.
Jeremiah 39:11	And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon gave a charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards, saying:
Jeremiah 39:12	“Take him and look after him, and you will not do to him anything evil. But instead, as he speaks to you, so do to him.
Jeremiah 39:13	And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards sent Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, Rab-mag, and all chief officers of the king of Babylon,
Jeremiah 39:14	and they sent and took Jeremiah from the court of the guard, and they gave him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, to bring him forth to the house. And he dwelt in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah 39:15	And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah in his being shut up in the court of the guard, saying:
Jeremiah 39:16	“Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘Behold I will bring My words against this city, for evil and not for good, and they will come to pass before you in that day.
Jeremiah 39:17	And I will deliver you in that day, a declaration of YHWH, and you will not be given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid.
Jeremiah 39:18	For I will surely rescue you by the sword, and you will not fall; and your life will be unto you as a prize, because you have put your trust in Me!’” A declaration of YHWH.
Jeremiah 40:1	The word that came to Jeremiah from YHWH after Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards has sent him away from Ramah, when he had taken him—and he being bound in chains—in the midst of all the exile of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.
Jeremiah 40:2	And the captain of the guards took Jeremiah and said to him, “YHWH your God has spoken this evil against this place,
Jeremiah 40:3	and YHWH has brought [it], and He has done as He said. Because you⁺ have sinned against YHWH and have not listened to His voice, so this thing has come upon you⁺.
Jeremiah 40:4	And now, behold, I have loosed you this day from the chains that [were] on your hand. If [it is] good in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will put the eye to you. And if it is bad in your eyes to come with me to Babylon, remain here. Behold, all the land [is] before you; wherever it is good and upright for you to go, go there.
Jeremiah 40:5	And while he had not turned again: “And You may return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and you may dwell with him in the midst of the people or go to wherever [is] upright for you to go.” And the captain of the guards gave rations to him, and a present, and he sent him away.
Jeremiah 40:6	And Jeremiah went to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, to Mizpah, and he dwelt with him in the midst of the people remaining in the land.
Jeremiah 40:7	And all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields heard—they and their men—that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah son of Ahikam in the land, and he had appointed to him men, and women, and children, and the poorest of the land, who had not been exiled to Babylon;
Jeremiah 40:8	and they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah—even Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the 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.
Jeremiah 40:9	And Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan took an oath before them and before their men, saying: “Do not be afraid to serve the Chaldeans; dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon, and it will go well with you⁺.
Jeremiah 40:10	And I, behold, I will be dwelling at Mizpah to serve the Chaldeans who will come to us; and you⁺, gather wine and summer fruit and oil, and put [them] in your⁺ vessels, and dwell in your⁺ cities that you⁺ have taken.
Jeremiah 40:11	And also all the Jews who [were] in Moab and among the sons of Ammon and in Edom, who [were] in all the lands, heard that the king of Babylon had given a remnant for Judah [and] that he had appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam son Shaphan.
Jeremiah 40:12	And all the Jews from all of the places to which they had been driven there returned, and they came [to] the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and they gathered wine and summer fruit in great abundance.
Jeremiah 40:13	And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who [were] in the fields, came to Gedaliah at Mizpah,
Jeremiah 40:14	and they said to him: “Do you know for certain that Baalis the king of the sons of the Ammon has sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah to strike your soul?” And Gedaliah son of Ahikam did not trust them.
Jeremiah 40:15	And Johanan son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in secret in Mizpah, saying: “Let me go, please, and I will strike Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and not a man will know.” Why should he strike you, so that all Judah who are gathered to you should be scattered and the remnant of Judah should perish?
Jeremiah 40:16	And Gedaliah son of Ahikam said to Johanan son of Kareah: “You will not do this thing, for you speak falsely concerning Ishmael.
Jeremiah 41:1	And it came to pass in the seventh month [that] Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama, of the royal seed and of the officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedaliah son of Ahikam at Mizpah. And there they ate bread together in Mizpah.
Jeremiah 41:2	And Ishmael son of Nethaniah rose up, and ten of the men who were with him, and they struck Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan with the sword, and he killed him whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.
Jeremiah 41:3	And also all the Jews who were with him, with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war, Ishmael struck down.
Jeremiah 41:4	And it came to pass on the second day after he had killed Gedaliah, and not a man knew [it],

Jeremiah 42:10	‘If, turning back, you⁺ will dwell in this land, then I will build you⁺ [up] and not pull [you] down, and I will plant you⁺ and not pluck [you] up; for I will relent concerning the disaster that I have done to you⁺.
Jeremiah 42:11	You⁺ shall not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you⁺ are afraid of him. Do not be afraid of him, a declaration of YHWH, for I [am] with you⁺ to save you⁺ and to deliver you⁺ from his hand!
Jeremiah 42:12	And I will give to you⁺ compassion, that he may have compassion on you⁺ and return you⁺ to your⁺ own land.’
Jeremiah 42:13	And if you⁺ are saying ‘We do not dwell in this land, so as not to listen to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God,
Jeremiah 42:14	saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and the voice of the shofar will we not hear, and we will not be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell,’
Jeremiah 42:15	then now thus will you hear the word of YHWH, O remnant of Judah! Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you⁺ really set your⁺ faces to go to Egypt, and to go to dwell there,
Jeremiah 42:16	then it will come to pass [that] the sword that you⁺ were afraid of it, will overtake you⁺ there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you⁺ were afraid, will follow close after you⁺ there [in] Egypt, and there you⁺ will die!
Jeremiah 42:17	And will it come to pass with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there, [that] they will die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, and will there be of them no survivor or escapee from the disaster that I am bringing upon them!’
Jeremiah 42:18	For thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: ‘As My anger and My fury were poured out on those dwelling in Jerusalem, so My fury will be poured out on you⁺ in your⁺ coming [to] Egypt. And you⁺ will become as an object of cursing, and as a horror, and as a curse, and a reproach; and you⁺ will not see this place again.
Jeremiah 42:19	YHWH has said concerning you⁺, O remnant of Judah: ‘Do not go [to] Egypt!’ Know you⁺ for sure that I have given a warning to you⁺ this day
Jeremiah 42:20	that you⁺ have gone astray in your⁺ souls, when you⁺ sent me to YHWH your⁺ God, saying, ‘Pray on our behalf to YHWH our God, and according to all that YHWH our God says, so declare [it] to us, and we will do [it]!
Jeremiah 42:21	And I have declared [it] to you⁺ this day, and you⁺ have not listened to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God, and in all that He has sent me to you⁺.

Jeremiah 43:1	And it came to pass when Jeremiah had stopped speaking to all the people all the words of YHWH their God, which YHWH their God had sent him to them all these words,

Jeremiah 43:3	For Baruch son of Neriah has been inciting you against us in order to give us into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, or to carry us away captive [to] Babylon.
Jeremiah 43:4	And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains, of the forces and all the people would not listen to the voice of YHWH to dwell in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah 43:5	And Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, those who had returned from all the nations to which they had been driven there, to dwell in the land of Judah—
Jeremiah 43:6	the men, and the women, and the sons and daughters of the king, and every soul whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guards had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah.
Jeremiah 43:7	And they came to the land of Egypt, for they did not listen to the voice of YHWH, and they came as far as Tahpanhes.

Jeremiah 43:13	And he will break the pillars of Heliopolis that [are] in the land of Egypt, and the houses of the gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.
Jeremiah 44:1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, those dwelling in Migdol, and in Tahpanhes, and in Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, saying,
Jeremiah 44:2	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: You⁺ have seen all the disaster that I have brought on Jerusalem, and on all the cities of Judah. And behold, [they are] a desolation this day, and no one is dwelling in them.
Jeremiah 44:3	Because of their evil that they have done, provoking Me to anger by going to burn incense to serve other gods whom they had not known—they, you⁺, and your⁺ fathers.
Jeremiah 44:4	And I sent to you⁺ all My servants the prophets, rising early and sending [them], saying: ‘I implore [you], do not do the thing of this abhorrence that I hate!’
Jeremiah 44:5	And they did not listen and they did not stretch out their ear to turn back from their evil, so as not to burn incense other to gods.
Jeremiah 44:6	My fury and My anger was poured out, and it burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they became as a ruin [and] as a desolation, as this day.
Jeremiah 44:7	And now, thus says YHWH, the God of Hosts, the God of Israel: Why are you⁺ doing great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you⁺ man and woman, child and infant, from the midst of Judah, so as not to leave behind for you⁺ a remnant,
Jeremiah 44:8	by provoking Me to anger by the works of your⁺ hands, burning incense other to gods in the land of Egypt, where you⁺ are going in to dwell there, so as to cut off yourselves and to become as a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Jeremiah 44:9	Have you⁺ forgotten the evils of your⁺ fathers, and the evils of the kings of Judah, and the evils of their wives, and your⁺ own evils, and the evils of your⁺ wives, which they did in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah 44:10	They have not been broken to this day, and they have not feared, and they have not walked in My law or in My statutes that I set before you⁺ and before your⁺ fathers.
Jeremiah 44:11	Therefore, thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I am setting My face against you⁺ for disaster, and to cut off all Judah!
Jeremiah 44:12	And I will take the remnant of Judah, those who have set their faces to go [into] the land of Egypt to dwell there, and they will all finished off in the land of Egypt. They will fall by the sword, by the famine. They will be finished off from the small even to the great. By the sword and by the famine they will die, and they will be as an object of cursing, as a horror, and as a curse, and as a taunt!
Jeremiah 44:13	For I will visit punishment upon those dwelling in the land of Egypt, as I visited upon Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by pestilence.
Jeremiah 44:14	And will there be no escapee or survivor for the remnant of Judah having gone in the land of Egypt to dwell there, that they should return to the land of Judah, to which they are lifting their soul to return to dwell there; for none will return, except a few escapees.
Jeremiah 44:15	And they answered Jeremiah—all the men knowing that their wives had been burning incense other to gods, and all the women standing by, a great assembly, and all the people dwelling in the land of Egypt, in Pathros—saying,
Jeremiah 44:16	“The word that you have spoken to us in the name of YHWH—we will not listen to you.
Jeremiah 44:17	For we will surely do will we do every word that has gone forth from our mouth, burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink offerings, as we have done—we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem. And we were satisfied [with] food, and we were well, and we did not see evil.
Jeremiah 44:18	And from the time we stopped burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything, and by the sword and by the famine have been finished off!
Jeremiah 44:19	And when we, burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out drink offerings to her, was it [not] without our husbands [that] we made for her cakes to worship her and pour out to her drink offerings?”
Jeremiah 44:20	And Jeremiah spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people answering him [that] word, saying:
Jeremiah 44:21	“The incense that you⁺ burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem—you⁺, and your⁺ fathers, your⁺ kings, and your⁺ princes, and the people of the land—was it not them [who] YHWH remembered, and they came up upon His heart?
Jeremiah 44:22	And YHWH could no longer bear [it], from the face of the evil of your⁺ deeds, [and] from the face of the abominations that you⁺ have done! And your⁺ land has become as a desolation, and as a horror, and as a curse, from there being no one dwelling there, as this day.
Jeremiah 44:23	Before the face of that you⁺ have burned incense, and that you⁺ have sinned against YHWH, and you⁺ have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and by His law, and by His statutes, and by His testimonies you⁺ have not walked—upon thus this disaster has met you⁺, as this day.”
Jeremiah 44:24	And Jeremiah said to all the people and to all the women: “Hear the word of YHWH, all Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt!
Jeremiah 44:25	Thus says YHWH of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: You⁺ and your⁺ wives have indeed spoken with your⁺ mouths, and with your⁺ hands you⁺ have fulfilled [it], saying, ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed to burn incense to the queen of the heavens—to pour out to her drink offerings.’ You⁺ will surely make stand your⁺ vows, and you⁺ will surely perform your⁺ vows!
Jeremiah 44:26	Therefore hear the word of YHWH, all Judah who are dwelling in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by My great name, says YHWH, [that] My name will no more be called in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘[By] the life of the Lord YHWH!’
Jeremiah 44:27	Behold, I am watching over them for evil and not for good, and all the men of Judah who [are] in the land of Egypt will be finished off by the sword and by the famine, until they are finished off!
Jeremiah 44:28	And those escaping the sword will return from the land of Egypt [to] the land of Judah small in number, and they will know—all the remnant of Judah having gone to the land of Egypt to dwell there—whose word will stand, from Me or from them!
Jeremiah 44:29	And this [is] a sign for you⁺, a declaration of YHWH, that I will visit punishment on you⁺ in this place, so that you⁺ may know that My words will surely stand against you⁺ for harm,
Jeremiah 44:30	thus says YHWH: Behold, I am giving Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those seeking his soul, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, his enemy and one seeking his soul!”

Jeremiah 52:12	In the fifth month, on the tenth of the month—it [was] the ninth year and tenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guards, [who] served before the King of Babylon, into Jerusalem.

Jeremiah 52:20	The two pillars, the one sea, and the twelve bronze bulls that [were] under [it], [and] the carts that king Solomon had made for the house of YHWH. There was no weighing of the bronze of all these articles.

Lamentations 1:1	How lonely sits the city [once] full of people! She has become like a widow, she who was great among the nations; the princess of the provinces has become a slave!
Lamentations 1:2	She weeps bitterly in the night, and her tears [are] on her cheeks; there is not unto her one giving comfort among all her lovers; all her companions have dealt treacherously with her, they have become to her as enemies.
Lamentations 1:3	Judah has gone into exile for affliction and from an abundance of labor; she dwells among the nations; she finds no rest; all her pursuers have overtaken her in the midst of distress.
Lamentations 1:4	The paths to Zion [are] mourning no one is coming to the appointed feast, [and] all her gates are desolate; her priests are groaning, her virgins are grieving, and it is bitter for her.
Lamentations 1:5	Her adversaries have become as the head, [and] her enemies prosper; for YHWH has afflicted her because of the multitude of her transgressions; her children have gone into captivity before the enemy.
Lamentations 1:6	And it has departed from the Daughter of Zion—all her splendor; her princes have become like deer that find no pasture, and they flee without strength before the face of the pursuer.
Lamentations 1:7	Jerusalem remembers in the days of her affliction and her wandering all her desirable [things] that were in days before. In the falling of her people into the hand of the enemy, there was no one giving help to her; the adversaries saw her; they have laughed at her destruction.
Lamentations 1:8	Jerusalem has sinned greatly; upon thus she has become as filth. All who honored her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness; even she herself groans and turns away.
Lamentations 1:9	Her uncleanness [is] on her skirts; she did not have in mind her end, and she went down stunningly; there was no one giving comfort to her. See, O YHWH, my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed!
Lamentations 1:10	The adversary has spread his hand over all her desirable [things]; for she has seen the nations come [into] her sanctuary, those whom You commanded not to enter into the assembly of Yours.
Lamentations 1:11	All her people groan; they seek bread; they have given their desirable [things] for food, to restore the soul. See, O YHWH, and consider! For I have become lightly esteemed.
Lamentations 1:12	[Is it] nothing to you⁺, all passing by this way? Look and see if there is any pain like my pain, which has been dealt to me, which YHWH has inflicted in the day of the burning of His anger.
Lamentations 1:13	From on high He has sent fire into my bones, and it prevails over them; He has spread a net for my feet, and has turned me back; He has made me desolate, all the day faint.
Lamentations 1:14	My transgressions are bound into a yoke; by His hand they were woven together; they came up upon my neck; He has made fail my strength; the Lord has delivered me into hands; I am not able to rise up.
Lamentations 1:15	The Lord has rejected all my mighty [men] in my midst; He has summoned an army against me to crush my young men [as] in a winepress; the Lord has trodden on the virgin daughter of Judah!
Lamentations 1:16	For these I am weeping; My eye, my eye is overflowing [with] water, because one comforting is far from me, the restorer of my soul; my children have become desolate because the enemy has prevailed.
Lamentations 1:17	Zion spreads out with her hands, there is no one giving comfort to her; YHWH has commanded concerning Jacob, [that] those around him [be] his adversaries; Jerusalem has become as an unclean [thing] among them.
Lamentations 1:18	He [is] righteous—YHWH, for His mouth I have rebelled against. Hear now, all peoples, and see my pain! My maidens and my young men have gone into captivity.
Lamentations 1:19	I called out to my lovers, they deceived me; my priests and my elders died off in the city while they sought food for themselves and to restore their soul.
Lamentations 1:20	See, O YHWH, that distress [is] unto me! My bowels are troubled, My heart is overturned within me because I have surely rebelled. From outside the sword bereaves; in the house [it is] like death.
Lamentations 1:21	They have heard that I have sighed; there is no one giving comfort to me; all my enemies have heard my trouble; they are glad that You have done [it]! May You bring the day You called [for], and let them become like me.
Lamentations 1:22	Let all their evil come before Your eyes, and deal with them as You have dealt with me, because of all my transgressions; for many [are] my groans, and my heart [is] faint.
Lamentations 2:1	How the Lord has covered with His nose the daughter of Zion! He has cast from the heavens [to] the earth the beauty of Israel, and He did not remember the stool for His feet on the day of His anger!
Lamentations 2:2	The Lord has swallowed up and He has not pitied all the dwelling places of Jacob; He has thrown down in His wrath the fortifications of the daughter of Judah; He has made [them] touch to the ground; He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
Lamentations 2:3	He has cut off in the burning of [His] anger every horn of Israel; He has turned back His right hand from before the enemy, and He has blazed against Jacob like a fire of flame, devouring all around!
Lamentations 2:4	He has bent His bow like an enemy, standing with His right hand like an adversary, and He has slain all those desirable to His eye; on the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out His fury like fire.
Lamentations 2:5	The Lord has been like an enemy! He has swallowed up Israel, has swallowed up all her palaces; He has destroyed her strongholds, and He has multiplied in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lamentations 2:6	He has treated violently His booth as a garden; He has destroyed His appointed place; YHWH has caused to be forgotten in Zion the appointed feast and Sabbath, and He has spurned in the rage of His anger king and priest!
Lamentations 2:7	The Lord has rejected His altar; He has disowned His sanctuary; He has shut up in the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; a voice they have given forth in the house of YHWH as on the day of the appointed feast.
Lamentations 2:8	YHWH has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out a line; He has not turned back His hand from destroying; the rampart and wall He has caused to lament, [and] together they have languished.
Lamentations 2:9	Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars; her king and her princes [are] among the nations; the law [is] no more, and her prophets cannot find vision from YHWH.
Lamentations 2:10	They sit on the ground [and] are silent—the elders of the daughter of Zion; they have thrown up dust on their heads, they have girded themselves with sackcloth; they have bowed their heads to the ground, the virgins of Jerusalem.
Lamentations 2:11	My eyes end in tears, my bowels are troubled; my liver is poured to the ground over the destruction of the daughter of my people, at the fainting of the infants and sucklings in the streets of the city!
Lamentations 2:12	To their mothers they say, “Where [is] the grain and wine?” In their becoming feeble like a wounded one in the streets of the city, in the pouring out their soul into the bosom of their mothers.
Lamentations 2:13	What can I say about you; to what shall I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare to you that I might comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your brokenness is as great as the sea—who can bring healing to you?
Lamentations 2:14	Your prophets have seen for you emptiness and foolish [things], and they have not uncovered about your iniquity, to turn back your captivity, and they have seen for you burdens of emptiness and enticements.
Lamentations 2:15	They clap the hands at you all those passing by [on] the way; they hiss and shake their heads over the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that they called the fullness of beauty, the joy of all the earth?”
Lamentations 2:16	They have opened their mouth against you—all your enemies; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say: “We have swallowed [her] up! Surely this [is] the day we have awaited—we have found [it], we have seen!”
Lamentations 2:17	YHWH has done what He planned, [and] has fulfilled His word, which He commanded from days before; He has overthrown, and He has not spared; the enemy He has made glad over you, and He has raised high the horn of your adversaries.
Lamentations 2:18	Their heart has cried out to the Lord! O wall of the daughter of Zion, let [your] tears run down like a torrent day and night; do not give ceasing to yourself, do not give rest [to] the daughter of your eye!
Lamentations 2:19	Arise, cry out in the night, at the beginning of the watches! Pour out your heart like waters before the face of the Lord! Lift up toward Him your hands over the soul of your infants, those weakened by hunger in the head of every street!
Lamentations 2:20	See, O YHWH, and consider! To whom have You dealt this [way]? Shall women eat their own fruit, the infants of the tender care? Shall he be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord—priest and prophet?
Lamentations 2:21	They lie on the ground in the streets young and old; my maidens and my young men have fallen by the sword; You have slain [them] in the day of Your anger! You have slaughtered [and] not spared!
Lamentations 2:22	You have called, as [on] the day of an appointed feast, my terrors from around; he did not escape on the day of the anger of YHWH—escapee or survivor! Those whom I have held and brought up, my enemy has consumed them.
Lamentations 3:1	I [am] the man [who] has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath;
Lamentations 3:2	He has led me and has made me walk [in] darkness, and not light;
Lamentations 3:3	surely He turns back against me; He turns over His hand all the day.
Lamentations 3:4	He has worn out my flesh and my skin; he has broken my bones.
Lamentations 3:5	He has built up against me and surrounded me with bitterness and weariness;
Lamentations 3:6	in dark places He has settled me, like the dead of old.
Lamentations 3:7	He has put a hedge around me, so that I cannot get out; He has made heavy my chain of bronze;
Lamentations 3:8	even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.
Lamentations 3:9	He has blocked off my ways with cut stone, my paths He has made crooked.
Lamentations 3:10	A bear lying in ambush He [is] to me, a lion in hiding places;
Lamentations 3:11	my ways He has turned aside, and has torn me apart; He has set me as a desolation.
Lamentations 3:12	He has bent His bow and stood me up as the target for an arrow.
Lamentations 3:13	He has brought into my kidneys the sons of His quiver;
Lamentations 3:14	I have become a laughingstock to all my people, their taunt all the day.
Lamentations 3:15	He has filled me with bitterness; He has made me drink wormwood.
Lamentations 3:16	And He has broken my teeth with gravel; He has covered me with ashes.
Lamentations 3:17	My soul has been rejected from peace; I have forgotten good,
Lamentations 3:18	and I say, “My strength has perished, and also my hope from YHWH!”
Lamentations 3:19	Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall!
Lamentations 3:20	It remembers well and sinks—My soul within me.
Lamentations 3:21	This I turn to my mind; upon thus I have hope.
Lamentations 3:22	Because of the loving devotion of YHWH we are not consumed, for His mercies are not finished.
Lamentations 3:23	[They are] new in the mornings—great [is] Your faithfulness!
Lamentations 3:24	“My portion [is] YHWH,” says my soul, “Upon thus do I hope in Him.”
Lamentations 3:25	Good [is] YHWH to those waiting for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
Lamentations 3:26	And [it is] good to wait and be silent for the salvation of YHWH;
Lamentations 3:27	[it is] good for a man that he should bear the yoke in his youth.
Lamentations 3:28	Let him sit alone and be silent when it is laid upon him.
Lamentations 3:29	Let him put in the dust his mouth; perhaps there is hope!
Lamentations 3:30	Let him give [his] cheek to the one striking him; let him be filled with reproach!
Lamentations 3:31	For the Lord will not reject [us] forever;
Lamentations 3:32	for though He may bring grief, He will show compassion according to the abundance of His loving devotion;
Lamentations 3:33	for he has not afflicted with His heart or grieved the sons of man.
Lamentations 3:34	To crush under one’s feet all the prisoners of the earth,
Lamentations 3:35	to stretch aside justice for a man before the face of the Most High,
Lamentations 3:36	to subvert a man in his cause, the Lord does not approve.
Lamentations 3:37	Who [is] this having spoken, and it came to pass, if the Lord [did] not command [it]?
Lamentations 3:38	From the mouth of the Most High [does] not come forth the bad and the good?
Lamentations 3:39	Why should complain a living man, a man for his sins?
Lamentations 3:40	Let us search out our ways, and let us seek, and turn back to YHWH!
Lamentations 3:41	Let us lift our heart with [our] hands to God in the heavens:
Lamentations 3:42	“We have transgressed and we have rebelled; You have not forgiven.”
Lamentations 3:43	You have covered in anger and pursued us; You have killed; You have not pitied.
Lamentations 3:44	You have covered Yourself with a cloud, from passing through a prayer.
Lamentations 3:45	You have made us offscouring and refuse in the midst of the nations.
Lamentations 3:46	They have opened their mouths against us—all our enemies;
Lamentations 3:47	terror and pitfall have come upon us, desolation and destruction!
Lamentations 3:48	Streams of water run down my eyes over the destruction of the daughter of my people!
Lamentations 3:49	My eye pours forth, and it does not cease—without numbing—
Lamentations 3:50	until YHWH looks down and sees from the heavens!
Lamentations 3:51	My eye bring grief to my soul because of all the daughters of my city.
Lamentations 3:52	My enemies have hunted me relentlessly like a bird, without cause;
Lamentations 3:53	They have cut off my life in the pit, and they threw stones at me;
Lamentations 3:54	the waters flowed over my head; I said I have been cut off!
Lamentations 3:55	I called on Your name, O YHWH, out of the depths of the Pit,
Lamentations 3:56	You heard my voice: “Do not hide Your ear from my sighing, from my cry!”
Lamentations 3:57	You drew near on the day I called you, you said, “Do not fear!”
Lamentations 3:58	You have pleaded, O Lord, the pleadings of my soul; You have redeemed my life!
Lamentations 3:59	You have seen, O YHWH, the wrong done to me; vindicate my cause!
Lamentations 3:60	You have seen all their vengeance, all their plots against me.
Lamentations 3:61	You have heard their taunt, O YHWH, all their plots against me,
Lamentations 3:62	the lips of my assailants and their murmuring against me all the day,
Lamentations 3:63	their sitting down, and their rising up—Look! I [am] their mocking song.
Lamentations 3:64	May You repay to them a recompense, O YHWH, according to the work of their hands!
Lamentations 3:65	May You give to them a covering for the heart—Your curse [be] upon them!
Lamentations 3:66	May You pursue [them] in Your anger and destroy them from under the heavens, O YHWH!
Lamentations 4:1	How the gold has grown dim, the pure gold has changed! The stones of holiness are poured forth at the head of every street.
Lamentations 4:2	The precious sons of Zion were weighed with fine gold. How they are esteemed as pots of clay, the work of the hands of a potter!
Lamentations 4:3	Even the jackals draw out the breast [and] suckle their young, [but] the daughter of my people [is] cruel, like ostriches in the wilderness.
Lamentations 4:4	The tongue of the sucking [babe] clings to the roof of its mouth in thirst; the little children ask for bread—there is no one dispersing [it] for them.
Lamentations 4:5	Those once eating delicacies are desolate in the streets; those being set firmly in scarlet embrace heaps of rubbish.
Lamentations 4:6	And the punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and no hands were wrung for her.
Lamentations 4:7	Her princes were brighter than snow and whiter than milk; they were [more] ruddy in essence than rubies; their polishing [was] of sapphire.
Lamentations 4:8	[Now] their appearance is darker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones, it has grown dry [and] become like wood.
Lamentations 4:9	Better are those slain by the sword than those dying of hunger, who waste away from the piercing of produce the field.
Lamentations 4:10	The hands of compassionate women have boiled their own children; they became food for them in [this] destruction of the daughter of my people!
Lamentations 4:11	YHWH has fulfilled His fury, He has poured out the burning of His nose; He has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured her foundations.
Lamentations 4:12	The kings of the earth did not believe and all those dwelling in the world, that the adversary would come and the enemy into the gates of Jerusalem,
Lamentations 4:13	for the sins of her prophets, the iniquities of her priests, those pouring in her midst the blood of the righteous,
Lamentations 4:14	They wandered blind in the streets, they have defiled themselves with the blood, that none would be able to touch their garments.
Lamentations 4:15	“Turn away! Unclean!” They called out to them. “Turn away! Turn away, do not touch us!” So they fled and wandered, they said among the nations, “They shall not continue to sojourn!”
Lamentations 4:16	The face of YHWH has scattered them; He shall not continue to look on them; the faces of the priests they do not lift up, and [to] the elders they do not show favor.
Lamentations 4:17	Again our eyes came to an end, for our helper in vain; in our keeping watch we watched for a nation [that] could not save [us].
Lamentations 4:18	They tracked our steps, from walking in our own streets; our end came near; our days were fulfilled, for our end had come.
Lamentations 4:19	Swifter were our pursuers than the eagles of the heavens; over the mountains they were hot after us, [and] in the wilderness they set an ambush for us.
Lamentations 4:20	The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of YHWH, was caught in their pits, of whom we said, “Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.”
Lamentations 4:21	Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, dwelling in the land of Uz! Even to you shall pass over the cup, and you shall become drunk and uncover yourselves!
Lamentations 4:22	Your guilt is complete, O daughter of Zion; He will not continue to leave you exiled. He will visit punishment [on] your iniquity, O daughter of Edom! He will remove the cover over your sins.
Lamentations 5:1	Remember, O YHWH, what has happened to us! Look and see our disgrace!
Lamentations 5:2	Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, and our houses to foreigners.
Lamentations 5:3	Fatherless we have become, and those with no father; our mothers [are now] like widows.
Lamentations 5:4	Our water for silver we drink, [and] our wood comes in with a price.
Lamentations 5:5	Upon our necks we are pursued; we grow weary, and no rest [is] unto us.
Lamentations 5:6	[To] Egypt we have given our hand, [to] Assyria to be satisfied with bread.
Lamentations 5:7	Our fathers sinned, and [are] no more, and we bear their iniquities.
Lamentations 5:8	Servants rule over us; [there is] no one tearing us away from their hand.
Lamentations 5:9	With our soul we bring in our bread before the face of the sword in the wilderness.
Lamentations 5:10	Our skin like an oven grows hot from the face of the burning heat of famine.
Lamentations 5:11	The women in Zion they have pressed down, [and] the maidens in the cities of Judah.
Lamentations 5:12	Princes were hanged by their hands; [and] the faces of the elders were not honored.
Lamentations 5:13	Young men they have taken to grind, and boys stumble under the wood.
Lamentations 5:14	The old men have ceased from the gate; the young men from their music.
Lamentations 5:15	The joy of our heart has ceased, our dancing has turned to mourning;
Lamentations 5:16	the crown has fallen [from] our head—woe to us, for we have sinned!
Lamentations 5:17	Upon thus our heart has become faint; for these our eyes grow dim.
Lamentations 5:18	For Mount Zion, which is desolate; foxes have walked upon it.
Lamentations 5:19	You, O YHWH, remain forever—Your throne from generation to generation.
Lamentations 5:20	Why do You forget us forever? You forsake us for a length of days.
Lamentations 5:21	Return us, O YHWH, to You, and we will return! Renew our days as of old,
Lamentations 5:22	unless You have utterly rejected us, [and] remain angry with us even to exceedingly!
Ezekiel 1:1	And it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], on the fifth of the month, as I [was] in the midst of the captivity by the River Kebar, [that] the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Ezekiel 1:2	On the fifth of the month—it [was] the fifth year of the captivity of king Jehoiachin—
Ezekiel 1:3	the word of YHWH came directly to Ezekiel son of Buzi the priest in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Kebar; And there the hand of YHWH was upon him.
Ezekiel 1:4	And I looked, and behold, a wind of a tempest was coming from the north, and a great cloud and fire taking hold [of it], and a brightness to it all around, and in the midst of it [was] like the color of amber, from the midst of the fire.
Ezekiel 1:5	And in the midst of it [was] the likeness of four living creatures. And this [was] their appearance: The likeness of a man [was] unto them,
Ezekiel 1:6	[with] four faces for each one, and four wings for each one unto them.
Ezekiel 1:7	And their feet [were] straight feet, and the soles of their feet [were] like the soles of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled like an eye of polished bronze.
Ezekiel 1:8	And the hands of a man [were] under their wings on four of their sides. And the faces and wings [were] unto the four of them,
Ezekiel 1:9	joining each one to her sister; their wings did not turn in their going, [each] man went to straight ahead.
Ezekiel 1:10	And the likeness of their faces, [was] the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side [was] unto the four of them; and the face of an ox on the left side [was] unto the four of them, and the face of an eagle [was] unto the four of them.
Ezekiel 1:11	And such [were] their faces. And their wings were spread out above each one; unto each one [were] two touching one, and two were covering their bodies.
Ezekiel 1:12	And each one went toward straight ahead of its face; to the [direction] that there the spirit was to go, they would go, [and] they did not turn in their going.
Ezekiel 1:13	And the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance [was] like coals of fire burning, like the appearance of torches; it was going about among the living creatures, and brightness [was] unto the fire, and from the fire was going forth lightning.
Ezekiel 1:14	And the living creatures [were] running and returning like the appearance of the lightning.
Ezekiel 1:15	And I looked [at] the living creatures, and behold, a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one with his four faces.
Ezekiel 1:16	The appearance of the wheels and their workings [was] like an eye of beryl, and a single likeness unto four of them; and their appearance and of their workings [was] as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
Ezekiel 1:17	Upon their four sides, in their going they went, [and] they did not turn aside in their going.
Ezekiel 1:18	And [unto] their rims [was] height to them and fearsomeness to them, and their rims [were] full of eyes all around for the four of them.
Ezekiel 1:19	And in the going of the living creatures, the wheels went beside them; and in the lifting up of the living creatures from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Ezekiel 1:20	Upon which the spirit was to go, there they would go; there the spirit [was] to go, and the wheels would rise alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures [was] in the wheels.
Ezekiel 1:21	In their going they go, and in their standing they stand; and in their being lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures [was] in the wheels.
Ezekiel 1:22	And the likeness over the heads of the living creatures [was] the firmament, like an eye of awe-inspiring crystal, stretched out over their heads above.
Ezekiel 1:23	And under the firmament their wings [were] straight, each one toward its sister; for each one [were] two [as] a covering for them, and for each one [were] two covering for them their body.
Ezekiel 1:24	And I heard the voice of their wings, like the voice of many waters, like the voice of Shaddai, in their going—the voice of a tumult like the voice of an army—and in their standing, they would slacken their wings.
Ezekiel 1:25	And there was a voice from over the firmament that [was] over their heads; in their standing they would slacken their wings.
Ezekiel 1:26	And from above the firmament that [was] over their heads, in appearance like a stone of sapphire, [was] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne [was] a likeness like the appearance of a man over it from above.
Ezekiel 1:27	And I saw as an eye of amber, like the appearance of fire, a house for it all around, from the appearance of His loins and above; and from the appearance of His loins and downward, I saw as the appearance of fire and brightness to it all around.
Ezekiel 1:28	As the appearance of a rainbow that comes to be in the cloud on a day of rain, so [was] the appearance of the brightness surrounding. It [was] the appearance of the likeness of the glory of YHWH. And I saw [it], and I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice speaking.
Ezekiel 2:1	And He said to me: “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”
Ezekiel 2:2	And the Spirit came into me as He spoke to me and set me on my feet, and I heard the One speaking to me.
Ezekiel 2:3	And He said to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me until this very day.
Ezekiel 2:4	And the sons [are] hard of face and strong of heart; to them I am sending you, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 2:5	And they, whether they hear, or whether they refuse—for they [are] a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.
Ezekiel 2:6	And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or of their words; do not be afraid—if briers and thorns [are] with you and among you scorpions are sitting!—Of their words, and do not be afraid of their faces, and do not be dismayed, for they [are] a rebellious house.
Ezekiel 2:7	And you shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse—for they [are] rebellious.
Ezekiel 2:8	And you, son of man, you must hear what I am going to say to you: Do not come to be rebellious like [this] house of rebellion! Open your mouth and eat what I am giving to you.”
Ezekiel 2:9	And I looked, and behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, in it [was] a scroll of a book.
Ezekiel 2:10	And He spread it out before my face, and it was written on the face and on the back; and written on it [were] lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ezekiel 3:1	And He said to me, “Son of man, what you find, you must eat. Eat this scroll, and go speak to the house of Israel!”
Ezekiel 3:2	And I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat this scroll.
Ezekiel 3:3	And He said to me: “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your bowels with this scroll that I am giving to you!” And I ate, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Ezekiel 3:4	And He said to me, “Son of man, go, come into the house of Israel, and speak with My words to them.
Ezekiel 3:5	For not to a people of unfathomable speech and heavy tongue are you being sent, [but] to the house of Israel—
Ezekiel 3:6	not to many peoples of unfathomable speech and heavy tongue, whose words you cannot understand. If I had not sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
Ezekiel 3:7	And the house of Israel are not willing to listen to you, because they are not willing to listen to Me! For all the house of Israel, they [are] strong of forehead and hard of heart.
Ezekiel 3:8	Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Ezekiel 3:9	I have made your forehead like a diamond stronger than flint. Do not be afraid of them, and do not be dismayed at their faces, for they [are] a house of rebellion.”
Ezekiel 3:10	And He said to me: “Son of man, all My words that I speak to you, take into your heart, and hear with your ears.
Ezekiel 3:11	And go, come to the captivity, to the sons of your people, and speak to them and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord YHWH!’—Whether they hear or whether they refuse.”
Ezekiel 3:12	And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great quaking: ‘Blessed [is] the glory of YHWH from His place!’
Ezekiel 3:13	And the voice of the wings of the living creatures, touching each one to her sister, and the voice of the wheels beside them, and the a voice of a great quaking.
Ezekiel 3:14	And the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit. And the hand of YHWH upon me [was] strong.
Ezekiel 3:15	And I came to the captivity at Tel-abib, those dwelling by the River Kebar, and I sat there [where] they were sitting, and I sat there seven days being desolate in their midst.
Ezekiel 3:16	And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 3:17	“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; and hear a word from My mouth, and give them a warning from Me.
Ezekiel 3:18	In My saying to the wicked, ‘You will surely die!’ And you do not warn him, and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way to save his life, that wicked one will die in his iniquity, and his blood I will require from your hand.
Ezekiel 3:19	And you, if you warn the wicked and he does not turn back from his wickedness and from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity and you will have delivered your own soul.
Ezekiel 3:20	And in the turning away of a righteous one from his righteousness so that he does iniquity, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die because you did not give him warning—in his sin he will die—and his righteousness that he did will not be remembered, and his blood I will require from your hand.
Ezekiel 3:21	And you, if you warn the righteous not to sin—the righteous one—and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he was warned and you will have delivered your own soul.”
Ezekiel 3:22	And the hand of YHWH was upon me there, and He said to me: “Rise, go out into the plain, and there I will speak with you.”
Ezekiel 3:23	And I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, there the glory of YHWH was standing, like the glory that I saw by the River Kebar. And I fell upon my face.
Ezekiel 3:24	And the Spirit came into me and set me upon my feet, and He spoke with me and said to me: “Go, shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
Ezekiel 3:25	And you, son of man, behold, they will place around you ropes, and they will bind you with them so that you cannot go out in their midst.
Ezekiel 3:26	And your tongue I will make cling to the roof of your mouth, and you will be mute, and you will be for them as a man unable to rebuke, for they [are] a house of rebellion.
Ezekiel 3:27	And in My speaking with you, I will open your mouth, [then] you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord YHWH!’—The one hearing, let him hear, and the one refusing, let him refuse. For they [are] a house of rebellion.
Ezekiel 4:1	[“] And You, son of man, take for yourself a clay tablet, and place it before your face; and engrave upon it a city, Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 4:2	And you shall place against it a siege, and build against it a siege wall, and heap up against it a mound, and set against it camps, and set against it battering rams all around.
Ezekiel 4:3	And you, take for yourself a plate of iron and set it up [as] a wall of iron between you and between the city, and set firm your face against it; and it shall come to be under siege, and you shall lay siege against it. This [is] a sign for the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 4:4	And you, lie down upon your left side, and set the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it—for the number of the days that you lay down on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel 4:5	For I have given to you the years of their iniquity according to the number of the days—three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 4:6	And you shall complete these, and you shall lie down on your right side [this] second [time], and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year. A day for a year I have given for you.
Ezekiel 4:7	And toward the siege of Jerusalem you shall set firm your face, and [with] your arm uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
Ezekiel 4:8	And behold, I will lay upon you cords so that you cannot turn yourself over from one side to another, until your completing the days of your siege.
Ezekiel 4:9	And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and give them into a single vessel, and make [from] them for yourself bread. The number of the days that you are laying down on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you shall eat it.
Ezekiel 4:10	And your food that you eat [is] by weight twenty shekels for a day; from time until time you shall eat it.
Ezekiel 4:11	And you shall drink water by measure, a sixth of a hin; from time until time you shall drink [it].
Ezekiel 4:12	And a cake of barley you shall eat it, and with the dung of the excrement of a human you shall bake it before their eyes.”
Ezekiel 4:13	And YHWH said: “So the sons of Israel shall eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, to which I will drive them there.”
Ezekiel 4:14	And I said, “Ah, Lord YHWH! Behold, never has my soul been defiled. And carcass and torn thing I have not eaten from my youth until now, and unclean flesh has not come into my mouth.”
Ezekiel 4:15	And He said to me: “See, I am giving to you dung of a cow instead of dung of human, and you shall make your bread over it.”
Ezekiel 4:16	And He said to me: “Son of man, behold, I am going to cut off the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and they will drink water by measure and with dread,
Ezekiel 4:17	so that they lack bread and water, and they be dismayed, a man and his brother, and waste away in their iniquity!
Ezekiel 5:1	[“] And you, son of man, take for yourself a sharp sword; the razor of a barber take it to yourself and pass [it] over your head and over your beard; take for yourself scales of weighing, and you shall divide the hair.
Ezekiel 5:2	A third with fire you shall burn in the midst of the city at the completion of the days of the siege; and you shall take a third and strike [it] with the sword around [it]; and a third you shall scatter to the wind; and I will unsheathe a sword after them.
Ezekiel 5:3	And you shall take from them a few in number, and you shall bind them in your skirts.
Ezekiel 5:4	And some of them you shall take again and cast them into the midst of the fire, and you shall burn them in the fire; from there will go out a fire into all the house of Israel!
Ezekiel 5:5	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘This [is] Jerusalem; in the midst of the nations I have set her, and all around her the countries.
Ezekiel 5:6	And she has rebelled against My ordinances for wickedness more than the nations, and against My statutes more than the countries that [are] around her—for My ordinances they have refused, and My statutes, they have not walked in them!’
Ezekiel 5:7	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because of your⁺ turbulence above the nations that [are] around you⁺, in My statutes you⁺ have not walked, and My ordinances you⁺ have not done—nor have you⁺ done’ according to the ordinances of the nations that [are] around you⁺!
Ezekiel 5:8	Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I [am] against you—even I! And I will do in your midst judgments in the eyes of the nations;
Ezekiel 5:9	and I will do among you what I have not done, and that which I will do not like it again, because of all your abominations!
Ezekiel 5:10	Therefore fathers shall eat the sons in your midst, and sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute on you judgments, and I will scatter all your remnant to every wind.’
Ezekiel 5:11	Therefore, [by] the life of Me—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—surely because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable things and with all your abominations, My eye will not at all show pity, and I also will not have pity, and I—I will diminish [you]!
Ezekiel 5:12	A third of you—they will die by pestilence and they will be consumed by famine in your midst; and a third will fall by the sword all around you; and a third I will scatter to all the winds and I will unsheath a sword after them!
Ezekiel 5:13	And My nose shall be completed and My fury I will cause to rest upon them, and I will be avenged; and they will know that I, YHWH, have spoken [it] in My zeal, in my completing My fury against them!
Ezekiel 5:14	And I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that [are] around you, before the eyes of everyone passing by.
Ezekiel 5:15	And you will be a reproach and a taunt, a warning and a horror to the nations that [are] around you, in my making against you judgments in anger and in fury and with rebukes of fury—I, YHWH, have spoken—
Ezekiel 5:16	in my sending against them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for destruction, which I will send to destroy you⁺; and the famine I am adding upon you⁺, and I will cut off unto you⁺ the staff of bread.
Ezekiel 5:17	And I will send against you⁺ famine and evil beasts, and they will bereave you; and pestilence and blood will pass through you, and the sword I will bring upon you!—I, YHWH, have spoken.”
Ezekiel 6:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 6:2	“Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
Ezekiel 6:3	and say: ‘O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord YHWH! Thus says the Lord YHWH to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: Behold, I—I am bringing against you⁺ a sword, and I will destroy your⁺ high places.
Ezekiel 6:4	And your⁺ altars will be desolate, and your⁺ incense altars will be broken; and your⁺ slain I will cast down before your⁺ idols.
Ezekiel 6:5	And I will lay the corpses of the sons of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your⁺ bones all around your⁺ altars.
Ezekiel 6:6	In all your⁺ dwelling places the cities will be laid waste, and the high places will be made desolate, so that your⁺ altars may be destroyed and made desolate, and your⁺ idols may be broken and made to cease, and your⁺ incense altars may be cut down, and your⁺ works may be blotted out!
Ezekiel 6:7	And the slain will fall in your⁺ midst, and you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 6:8	And I will leave a remnant, in their being unto you⁺ escapees of the sword among the nations, in your⁺ being scattered in the lands.
Ezekiel 6:9	And your⁺ escapees will remember Me in the nations to which they are carried captive there, how I was broken by their prostituting heart that turned away from Me, and by their eyes seeking prostitution after their idols; and they will be loathsome in their own sight for the evils that they did by all their abominations.
Ezekiel 6:10	And they will know that I [am] YHWH. Not in vain have I spoken that I would bring upon them this evil!
Ezekiel 6:11	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Strike with your hand, and stomp with your foot, and say, “Ah!” For all the evils of the abominations of the house of Israel! For by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence they will fall!
Ezekiel 6:12	The one far off will die by the pestilence, and the one near will fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged will die by the famine. And I will complete My fury upon them.
Ezekiel 6:13	And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, in the coming of their slain into the midst of their idols, all around their altars, at every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak—[each] place that they gave there a pleasing aroma to all their idols.
Ezekiel 6:14	And I will stretch out My hand against them, and I will make the land a desolation and a wasteland, from the wilderness to Diblah, in all their dwelling places. And they will know that I [am] YHWH!’”
Ezekiel 7:1	And came to be the word of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 7:2	“And you, son of man, thus says the Lord YHWH to the land of Israel, ‘An end has come, the end upon the four corners of the land!
Ezekiel 7:3	Now the end [is] upon you—and I will send My nose against you, and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will recompense upon you all your abominations!
Ezekiel 7:4	And My eye will not have pity on you, and I will not have pity; for your ways I will recompense against you, and for your abominations [that] are in your midst. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.’
Ezekiel 7:5	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Disaster! A unique disaster! Behold, it is coming!
Ezekiel 7:6	An end has come; the end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it is coming.
Ezekiel 7:7	Doom has come to you, O dweller of the land; the time has come, the day [is] near—of tumult, and not of rejoicing in the mountains!
Ezekiel 7:8	Now soon I will pour out My fury upon you, and will complete My anger My anger; and I will judge you according to your ways, and I will recompense upon you for all your abominations.
Ezekiel 7:9	And My eye will not have pity, and I will not have pity; according to your ways I will recompense upon you, and your abominations will be in your midst. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, the One striking.
Ezekiel 7:10	Behold, the day! Behold, it is coming! The doom has gone forth, the rod has blossomed, the arrogance has budded.
Ezekiel 7:11	Violence has risen up into a rod of wickedness—none of them, and none of their multitude, and none of their wealth, and nothing of eminence among them.
Ezekiel 7:12	The time has come, the day has drawn near! Let the buyer not rejoice, and let the seller not mourn; for wrath [is] upon all their multitude.
Ezekiel 7:13	For the one selling will not return to what has been sold while they live their life; for the vision [is] to the whole multitude, [and] it will not turn back; and a man cannot by his iniquity strengthen his life.
Ezekiel 7:14	They have blown on the trumpet, and made ready everything; and there is not one going to the battle, for My wrath [is] against all their multitude.
Ezekiel 7:15	The sword [is] is outside, and pestilence and famine inside the house. The one who [is] in the field will die by the sword, and the one who [is] in the city, famine and pestilence will devour him.
Ezekiel 7:16	And their fugatives will escape, and they will be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each one for his iniquity.
Ezekiel 7:17	Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go as waters.
Ezekiel 7:18	And they will be girded with sackcloth, and shuddering will cover them; and on every face [is] shame, and on all their heads baldness.
Ezekiel 7:19	Their silver they will throw into the streets, and their gold will become like refuse; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of YHWH. Their souls they cannot satisfy, and their stomachs they cannot fill, for a stumbling block their iniquity has become.
Ezekiel 7:20	And the beauty of His ornament, in majesty he set it, and the images of their abominations, their detestable things they made with it. Upon thus I have made it for them like refuse.
Ezekiel 7:21	And I will give it into the hands of strangers as plunder, and to the wicked of the earth as spoil, and they will defile it.
Ezekiel 7:22	And I will turn away My face from them, and they will defile My treasured place—and robbers will come into it, and they will defile it!
Ezekiel 7:23	Make a chain! For the land is filled with with the judgment of blood, and the city is full of violence.
Ezekiel 7:24	And I will bring the evil of the nations, and they will possess their houses; and I will cause to cease the pride of the strong, and their holy places will be defiled.
Ezekiel 7:25	Anguish comes, and they will seek peace and [there is] none.
Ezekiel 7:26	Disaster upon disaster will come, and rumor will be upon rumor; and they will seek a vision from a prophet, and the law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.
Ezekiel 7:27	The king will mourn, and the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble; according to their own way I will deal with them, and by their own judgment I will judge them; and they will know that I [am] YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 8:1	And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, [that] I was sitting in my house, and the elders of Judah were sitting before me, and fell upon me there the hand of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 8:2	And I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of His loins and downward [was] fire, and from His loins and above [was] like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.
Ezekiel 8:3	And He sent out the form of a hand, and He took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted up me between the earth and between the heavens, and brought me to Jerusalem in visions of God, to the door of the inner gate facing north, where [was] the seat of the image of jealousy which provokes to jealousy.
Ezekiel 8:4	And behold, there [was] the glory of the God of Israel, according to the vision that I had seen in the plain.
Ezekiel 8:5	And He said to me: “Son of man, lift up now your eyes [to] the way northward.” And I lifted my eyes [to] the way northward, and behold! From the north of the Gate of the Altar [was] this image of jealousy in the entrance.
Ezekiel 8:6	And He said to me: “Son of man, are you seeing what [they] are doing? The great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here to keep Me far off from My sanctuary? And still you will turn [and] you will see greater abominations!”
Ezekiel 8:7	And He brought me to the door of the court; and I looked, and behold, one hole in the wall.
Ezekiel 8:8	And He said to me: “Son of man, dig now into the wall.” And I dug into the wall, and behold, one opening.
Ezekiel 8:9	And He said to me: “Go in and see the evil abominations that they are doing here!”
Ezekiel 8:10	And I went in and saw. And behold, every manner of creeping thing and detestable beast, and all the idols of the house of Israel were engraved on the walls all around,
Ezekiel 8:11	and seventy men from the elders of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—standing before them; and each man his censer in his hand, and the fragrance of a cloud of incense was rising up.
Ezekiel 8:12	And He said to me: “Have you seen, Son of man, that which the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark, each man in the inner chambers of his imagery? For they say, ‘YHWH [is] not seeing us, [for] YHWH has forsaken the land.’”
Ezekiel 8:13	And He said to me: “Again you will turn [and] will see greater abominations that they are doing!”
Ezekiel 8:14	And He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the house of YHWH that [was] toward the north, and behold, there the women were sitting [and] weeping [for] Tammuz.
Ezekiel 8:15	And He said to me: “Have you seen, son of man? Again you will turn [and] will see greater abominations than these!”
Ezekiel 8:16	And He brought me into the inner court of the house of YHWH, and behold, at the opening of the temple of YHWH, between the porch and between the altar, [were] about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of YHWH and [with] their faces toward the east; and they were worshiping eastward to the sun.
Ezekiel 8:17	And He said to me: “Have you seen, son of man? Is it a light thing for the house of Judah to do the abominations that they do here, that they should fill the land [with] violence and turn back to provoke Me to anger? For behold, they are sending the branch to their nose!
Ezekiel 8:18	I also will act in fury. My eye will not show pity, and I will not have pity, and though they cry into My ears [in] a great voice, not at all will I hear them!”
Ezekiel 9:1	And He called out in my ears [in] a great voice, saying: “Let come near those appointed to deal [with] the city, and each man [with] a weapon of destruction in his hand.”
Ezekiel 9:2	And behold, six men, each man coming from the way of the upper gate that is facing to the north, and a man [with] the weapon of slaughter in his hand; and one in their midst clothed with linen, and the inkhorn of a scribe at his side. And they went in and stood beside the altar of bronze.
Ezekiel 9:3	And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been upon it, to the threshold of the temple. And He called to the man clothed in linen, who [had] the inkhorn of a scribe at his side;
Ezekiel 9:4	and YHWH said to him: “Pass over in the midst of the city, in the midst of Jerusalem, and mark a mark upon the foreheads of the men, those sighing and those groaning over all the abominations that are being done in its midst.”
Ezekiel 9:5	And to these [others] He said in my ears: “Pass over in the city after him, and strike! Do not let your⁺ eye show pity, and you⁺ shall not have pity.
Ezekiel 9:6	Aged, young man, and maidens, and little children, and women you⁺ will slay to destruction; and upon every man, upon him who [has] the mark, you⁺ will not come near. And at My sanctuary you⁺ will begin!” And they began with the elder men who [were] before the face of the house.
Ezekiel 9:7	And He said to them: “Defile the house and fill the courts [with] the slain! Go forth!” And they went forth, and they struck in the city.
Ezekiel 9:8	And it came to pass in their striking, that I was left, and I fell on my face and cried out and said: “Ah, Lord YHWH! Are You going to destroy all the remnant of Israel in Your pouring out Your fury upon Jerusalem?”
Ezekiel 9:9	And He said to me: “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] great exceedingly greatly, and the land is full of blood, and the city is full of perversity; for they say, ‘YHWH has forsaken the land, and YHWH is not seeing!’
Ezekiel 9:10	And I also—My eye will not show pity, and I will not have pity, their deeds on their own head I have put!”
Ezekiel 9:11	And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who [had] at his side the inkhorn, was returning word, saying: “I have done according to that which You commanded me.”
Ezekiel 10:1	And I looked, and behold, at the firmament that [was] over the head of the cherubim [was] like a stone of sapphire, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne, was seen above them.
Ezekiel 10:2	And He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and He said: “Go to the midst of the wheel, to beneath the cherub, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter [them] over the city!” And he went [in] before my eyes.
Ezekiel 10:3	And the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, at the going in of the man, and the cloud filled the inner court.
Ezekiel 10:4	And the glory of YHWH went up from the cherub, over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of YHWH.
Ezekiel 10:5	And the voice of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of El-Shaddai in His speaking.
Ezekiel 10:6	And it came to pass in His commanding the man clothed in linen, saying, “Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in and stood beside a wheel.
Ezekiel 10:7	And the cherub sent forth his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that [was] between the cherubim, and he took and put [it] into the hands of the one clothed in linen, and he took [it] and went out.
Ezekiel 10:8	(And was seen unto the cherubim the form of the hand of a man under their wings.)
Ezekiel 10:9	And I looked, and behold, four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside the one cherub, and one wheel beside the one cherub; and the appearance of the wheels [was] like the eye of a stone of beryl.
Ezekiel 10:10	And their appearance [was] one likeness unto four of them, as [if] it were a wheel in the midst of the wheel.
Ezekiel 10:11	In their going toward four directions, they did go; they did not turn aside in their going; for the place where the head turned, toward it they would go; they did not turn aside In their going.
Ezekiel 10:12	And all of their body—their rims, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, [were] full of eyes all around, wheels as their four.
Ezekiel 10:13	The wheels, unto them it was called in my ears, “The whirling wheels.”
Ezekiel 10:14	And four faces [were] unto each one: The face of the first [was] the face of a cherub, and the face of the second [was] the face of a man, and the face of the third a lion, and the face of the fourth an eagle.
Ezekiel 10:15	And the cherubim rose upward. This [was] the living creature that I saw by the River Chebar.
Ezekiel 10:16	And in the going of the cherubim, the wheels went beside them; and the cherubim, in the lifting up of their wings, rose up from the earth, [and] the wheels did not turn, also they [were] beside them.
Ezekiel 10:17	In their standing still and in their rising up [they] were raised up with them, for the spirit of the living creature [was] in them.
Ezekiel 10:18	And went out the glory of YHWH from upon the threshold of the house, and it stood over the cherubim.
Ezekiel 10:19	And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and they were raised up from the earth before my eyes; and in their going out, also [were] the wheels beside them. And they stood [at] the entrance of the gate of the house of YHWH [in] the east, and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them from above.
Ezekiel 10:20	This [is] the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the River Kebar; and I knew that they [were] cherubim.
Ezekiel 10:21	Four—four faces [were] unto each one, and four wings unto each one, and the likeness of the hands of a man [was] under their wings.
Ezekiel 10:22	And the likeness of their faces, they [were] the faces that I had seen by the River Kebar, their appearances and themselves. Each one to straight ahead of its face they would go.
Ezekiel 11:1	And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the house of YHWH, facing eastward. And behold, at the entrance of the gate [were] twenty-five men, and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ezekiel 11:2	And He said to me: “Son of man, these [are] the men devising iniquity and counseling evil counsel in this city,
Ezekiel 11:3	those saying, ‘[It is] not near [for] building houses? She [is] the pot, and we [are] the meat!’
Ezekiel 11:4	Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man.”
Ezekiel 11:5	And fell upon me the Spirit of YHWH, and He said to me, “Say, thus says YHWH: Thus you⁺ have said, O house of Israel—and the [things] coming upon your⁺ spirit I know.
Ezekiel 11:6	You⁺ have multiplied your⁺ slain in this city, and its streets you⁺ have filled [with] the slain.
Ezekiel 11:7	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Your⁺ slain that you⁺ have set in its midst, they [are] the flesh, and she [is] the pot; and you⁺ will be brought out from her midst.
Ezekiel 11:8	The sword you⁺ have feared, and the sword I will bring upon you⁺, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 11:9	And I will bring you⁺ out from her midst, and I will give you⁺ into the hands of strangers, and I will execute judgments against you⁺.
Ezekiel 11:10	By the sword you⁺ will fall, [and] at the border of Israel I will judge you⁺. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 11:11	She will not be a pot for you⁺, [nor] will you⁺ be in her midst as meat; at the border of Israel I will judge you⁺,
Ezekiel 11:12	and you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH. For in My statutes you⁺ have not walked, and My ordinances you⁺ have not done, and according to the ordinances of the nations that [are] around you⁺ you⁺ have done.”
Ezekiel 11:13	And it came to pass in my prophesying that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. And I fell on my face and cried out [in] a great voice, and said: “Ah, Lord YHWH! [Are] You going to make to a complete end of the remnant of Israel?”
Ezekiel 11:14	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 11:15	“Son of man, your brothers, your relatives, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel—all of it, [are] those whom those dwelling in Jerusalem have said to them, ‘Get far away from YHWH; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
Ezekiel 11:16	Therefore say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Although I have set them far away among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the lands, I have been for them for a little while a sanctuary in the lands to which they have gone there.’
Ezekiel 11:17	Therefore say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘And I will gather you⁺ from the peoples, and will assemble you⁺ from the lands to which you⁺ have been scattered in them, and I will give to you⁺ the land of Israel.’
Ezekiel 11:18	And they will go there, and they will turn aside all her detestable [things] and all her abominations from her.
Ezekiel 11:19	And I will give to them a single heart, and I will give a new spirit within them; and I will turn away the heart of stone from their flesh, and I will give to them a heart of flesh,
Ezekiel 11:20	so that they may walk in My statutes and they may keep My ordinances and may do them; and they will be unto Me for a people, and I will be unto them God.
Ezekiel 11:21	And to those whose heart their detestable [things] and whose heart their abominations is going after, their deeds I will recompense upon their own heads! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 11:22	And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels [were] beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel [was] over them from above.
Ezekiel 11:23	And the glory of YHWH went up from the midst of the city, and it stood on the mountain that [is] on the east of the city.
Ezekiel 11:24	And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to Chaldea, to the captivity, in a vision by the Spirit of God; and went up from me the vision that I had seen.
Ezekiel 11:25	And I spoke to the captivity all the words of YHWH that He had shown to me.
Ezekiel 12:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 12:2	“Son of man, you are dwelling in the midst of the house of rebellion, which [has] eyes unto them to see, and they do not see, and ears unto them to hear, and they do not hear; for they [are] a house of rebellion!
Ezekiel 12:3	And you, son of man, take up for yourself vessels for exile, and go into exile by day before their eyes; and you will go into exile from your place to another place before their eyes. Perhaps they will see, though they [are] a house of rebellion.
Ezekiel 12:4	And you shall bring out your vessels like vessels for exile by day before their eyes, and you shall go out in the evening before their eyes, like those going into captivity.
Ezekiel 12:5	Before their eyes you shall dig for yourself through the wall, and go out through it.
Ezekiel 12:6	Before their eyes, you shall bear [them] on [your] shoulders in the darkness [and] carry [them] out; you shall cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have given you as a sign for the house of Israel.”
Ezekiel 12:7	And I did just as I was commanded. My vessels I brought out as vessels for captivity by day, and in the evening I dug for myself through the wall with [my] hand; in the darkness I brought [them] out on [my] shoulder, I bore [them] before their eyes.
Ezekiel 12:8	And the word of YHWH came to me in the morning, saying:
Ezekiel 12:9	“Son of man, have they not said to you—the house of Israel, [this] house of rebellion, ‘What [are] you doing?’
Ezekiel 12:10	Say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘This burden [concerns] the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are in their midst.’
Ezekiel 12:11	Say, ‘I [am] a sign to you⁺.’ As I have done, so will it be done to them—into exile, into captivity, they will go!
Ezekiel 12:12	And the prince who [is] in their midst, on [his] shoulder he will bear [it] in the darkness, and he will go out; they will dig through the wall to bring [them] out through it; he will cover his face so that he might not see with [his] eyes, he, the land.
Ezekiel 12:13	And I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, [to] the land of the Chaldeans; and he will not see it, and there he will die.
Ezekiel 12:14	And all who [are] around him [as] his help, and all his troops, I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheath the sword after them.
Ezekiel 12:15	And they will know that I [am] YHWH, in My dispersing them among the nations and scattering them throughout the lands.
Ezekiel 12:16	I will spare from their people a few—from the sword, from famine, and from pestilence—so that they may recount all their abominations among the nations to which they go there. And they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 12:17	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 12:18	“Son of man, eat your bread with quaking, and drink your water with trembling and with anxiety!
Ezekiel 12:19	And say to the people of the land, thus says the Lord YHWH to those dwelling in Jerusalem, [and] to the land of Israel: ‘They will eat their bread with anxiety, and they will drink their water with dread, so that her land may be emptied of all her fullness, because of the violence of all those dwelling in her.
Ezekiel 12:20	And the cities that [were] inhabited will be dried up, and the land will become a desolation; and you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH!’”
Ezekiel 12:21	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 12:22	“Son of man, what [is] this proverb for you⁺ over the land of Israel, saying, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision perishes’?
Ezekiel 12:23	Therefore say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘To this proverb I will put an end, and will they use it as a proverb no more in Israel. But rather speak to them: ‘The days are near, and the word of every vision!’
Ezekiel 12:24	For there will be no longer any vision of emptiness, or of smooth divination, in the midst of the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 12:25	For I [am] YHWH! I speak, and the word that I speak will come to pass; it will not drag out any longer, but in your⁺ days, O house of rebellion, I will speak the word and will do it! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 12:26	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 12:27	“Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision that he sees is for many days, and times far off he is prophesying.’
Ezekiel 12:28	Therefore say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Not any of My words will be drawn out anymore; the word that I speak, it will be done! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 13:1	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 13:2	“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, those prophesying, and say to the prophets of their own heart, hear the word of YHWH!
Ezekiel 13:3	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Woe upon the foolish prophets, who are walking after their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Ezekiel 13:4	Like jackals among the ruins, your prophets, O Israel, have become.
Ezekiel 13:5	You⁺ have not gone up into the breaches, and walled up the wall around the house of Israel to stand in the battle on the day of YHWH.
Ezekiel 13:6	They have seen emptiness and lying divination, saying, ‘Thus says YWHW…,’ and YHWH has not sent them; and they hope to establish [their] word.
Ezekiel 13:7	Have you⁺ not seen a vision of emptiness and spoken a lying divination? You say, ‘An utterance of YHWH…,’ and I have not spoken.
Ezekiel 13:8	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Because you⁺ have spoken emptiness, and seen a lie, therefore behold, I [am] against you⁺! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 13:9	And My hand will be against the prophets who are seeing emptiness, and who divine a lie; they will not belong in the assembly of My people, and in the register of the house of Israel they will not be written, and into the land of Israel they will not come. And you⁺ will know that I [am] the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 13:10	Because, even because they have led My people astray, saying, ‘Peace!’ When [there is] no peace, and one is building a wall, and behold them, they plaster it [with] whitewash,
Ezekiel 13:11	you will say to those plastering [with] whitewash that it will fall! There will be an overflowing rain, and you⁺, O stones of hail, will fall, and a wind of tempests will tear [it] down.
Ezekiel 13:12	And behold, when the wall has fallen, it will not be said to you⁺, ‘Where [is] the whitewash with which you⁺ plastered [it]?’
Ezekiel 13:13	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: And I will cause to break forth a wind of tempests in My fury, and an overflowing rain there will be in My anger, and stones of hail in [My] fury to consume!
Ezekiel 13:14	And I will break down the wall that you⁺ have plastered [with] whitewash, and I will make it touch to the ground, and its foundation will be uncovered, and it will fall, and you⁺ will be finished off in the midst of it. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 13:15	And will I accomplish My wrath against the wall, and against those plastering it [with] whitewash; and I will say to you⁺: ‘The wall [is] no more, and those plastering it [are] no more—
Ezekiel 13:16	the prophets of Israel are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, and seeing for her visions of peace, and [there is] no peace! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 13:17	And you, O son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, those prophesying from their own heart, and prophesy against them,
Ezekiel 13:18	and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: Woe to those sowing charms on all the wrists of their hands, and making veils for the heads of every height, to hunt [for] souls! Will you⁺ hunt the souls of My people, and the souls of yourselves keep alive?
Ezekiel 13:19	And you⁺ profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley, and for pieces of bread, by putting to death people who should not die, and keeping alive people who should not live, by your⁺ lying to My people who listen to a lie.
Ezekiel 13:20	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against your⁺ charms, by which you⁺ hunt there souls like birds; and I will tear them from your⁺ arms, and I will send away the souls that you⁺ hunt like the souls of birds.
Ezekiel 13:21	And I will tear off your⁺ veils, and I will deliver My people from your⁺ hands, and they will be no longer in your⁺ hands as prey! And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 13:22	Because you have disheartened the righteous heart [with] a lie (when I had not grieved him) and strengthened the hands of the wicked, so as not to turn aside from his evil way to save his life,
Ezekiel 13:23	therefore emptiness you⁺ will not see, and divination you⁺ will not divine any longer. And I will deliver My people from your⁺ hands, and you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 14:1	And there came to me [some] men from the elders of Israel, and they sat before me.
Ezekiel 14:2	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 14:3	“Son of man, these men have set up their idols upon their hearts, and a stumbling block [for] their iniquity they have put before their faces. Can I be sought out in any way by them?
Ezekiel 14:4	Therefore you must speak to them and say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Every man man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart and puts a stumbling block for his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet, I, YHWH, will give answer to him in this, according to the abundance of his idolatry,
Ezekiel 14:5	so as to capture the house of Israel by their heart, [in] that they are estranged from Me by all their idols.’
Ezekiel 14:6	Therefore say to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Turn back and turn away from your⁺ idols, and from all your⁺ abominations turn back your⁺ faces!
Ezekiel 14:7	For every man of the house of Israel, or from the foreigners who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart, and puts a stumbling block for his iniquity before his face, and who comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, YHWH, will answer him Myself.
Ezekiel 14:8	And I will set My face against that man, and I will set him as a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 14:9	And a prophet, if he is led astray and has spoken a word, I, YHWH, have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him, and I will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.
Ezekiel 14:10	And they will bear their guilt. As the guilt of the one inquiring, will be the guilt of the prophet,
Ezekiel 14:11	so that the house of Israel they will lead astray no longer from Me, and they will not profane themselves anymore with all their transgressions. And they will be unto Me as a people, and I will be unto them God! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 14:12	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 14:13	“Son of man, when a land sins against Me to act unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness—and I stretch out My hand against it and cut off for it the staff of bread, and I send on it famine and I cut off from it man and beast,
Ezekiel 14:14	even if these three men were in its midst—Noah, Daniel, and Job—[only] they by their righteousness would deliver their own soul! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 14:15	Or if I cause a wild beast to pass through the land and make it barren and it becomes a desolation, with no one passing through before the face of the beast,
Ezekiel 14:16	[even if] these three men [were] in its midst—[as] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH—neither the sons or daughters they could deliver! They alone would be delivered, and the land would become a desolation.
Ezekiel 14:17	Or if I should bring the sword against that land and say, ‘Sword, pass through the land!’ And I cut off from it man and beast,
Ezekiel 14:18	even if these three men [were] in the midst of it—[as] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH—they could not deliver the sons and daughters, but they themselves alone would be delivered.
Ezekiel 14:19	Or if I should send a pestilence into that land and pour out My fury on it in blood, and cut off from it man and beast,
Ezekiel 14:20	even if Noah, Daniel, and Job [were] in the midst of it—[as] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH—neither the son [nor] daughter they could deliver! They by their righteousness would deliver [only] their own soul.
Ezekiel 14:21	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘How much more when [these] four of My severe judgments—the sword, and famine, and the wild beast, and the pestilence—I send against Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and beast?
Ezekiel 14:22	And behold—there will be left in it a remnant, those being brought out, sons and daughters; behold, they will be coming out to you⁺, and you⁺ will see their ways and their deeds, and you⁺ will be comforted concerning the disaster that I have brought upon Jerusalem—all that I have brought upon it.
Ezekiel 14:23	And they will comfort you⁺ when you⁺ see their ways and their deeds, and you⁺ will know that I have not without cause done all that I have done in it!’ An utterance of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 15:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 15:2	“Son of man, how is the wood of the vine more than any wood, the [vine] branch that is among the trees of the forest?
Ezekiel 15:3	Is wood taken from it it to use for work? Or do they make from it a peg to hang any vessel on it?
Ezekiel 15:4	Behold, it is given to the fire for food; the two of its ends the fire devours, and the middle of it is burned. Is it useful for work?
Ezekiel 15:5	Behold, in its being complete, it could not be made for work; how much [less] when the fire has devoured it and it is burned, can it even be made yet for work!
Ezekiel 15:6	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Just like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for food, so I have given those dwelling in Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 15:7	And I will set My face against them; from the fire they will come out, and the fire will devour them! And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, in My setting My face against them.
Ezekiel 15:8	And I will make the land a desolation, because they have acted unfaithfully—an unfaithfulness’—a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 16:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 16:2	“Son of man, make known [to] Jerusalem her abominations,
Ezekiel 16:3	and say, thus says the Lord YHWH to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth [are] from the land of the Canaanite; your father [was] an Amorite, and your mother a Hittite.
Ezekiel 16:4	And of your birth, on the day you were born, your cord was not cut, and you were not washed in water for cleansing, and you were not rubbed with salt, and you were not wrapped in swaddling cloths.
Ezekiel 16:5	No eye showed pity to you, to do for you one of these [things] to have compassion on you, and you were thrown out into the face of the field in the loathing of your soul on the day you were born.
Ezekiel 16:6	And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your own blood, and I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’ And I said to you in your blood, ‘Live!’
Ezekiel 16:7	I made you a myriad like a plant in the field, and you increased and grew and came into the adornment of adornments. [Your] breasts were established, and your hair sprouted, and you [were] naked and bare.
Ezekiel 16:8	And I passed by you and I saw you, and behold, your time [was] the time for love! And I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness, and I swore an oath to you and came into a covenant with you—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—and you came to be unto Me.
Ezekiel 16:9	And I washed you with water, and I rinsed off your blood from you, and I anointed you with the oil.
Ezekiel 16:10	And I clothed you in embroidered cloth, and gave you sandals of badger skin, and I tied you in fine linen, and I covered you with silk;
Ezekiel 16:11	and I adorned you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands and a chain on your neck.
Ezekiel 16:12	And I put a ring upon your nose, and earrings upon your ears, and a crown of beauty upon your head.
Ezekiel 16:13	And you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing [was] of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered cloth. Fine flour and honey and oil did you eat. You were exceedingly greatly beautiful, and you advanced to royalty.
Ezekiel 16:14	And a name for you went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it [was] perfect in My splendor that I had set upon you, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 16:15	And you trusted in your own beauty, and acted as a prostitute upon your name, and you poured out your prostitution on everyone passing by—it was unto him!
Ezekiel 16:16	And you took from your garments and made for yourself multicolored high places, and you prostituted yourself on them—things that should not have happened and should not have come to be!
Ezekiel 16:17	And you have taken the articles of your beauty from My gold and from My silver that I had given to you, and you made for yourself images of a male and prostituted yourself with them!
Ezekiel 16:18	And you took the garments of your embroidery and covered them, and you set My oil and My incense before their faces;
Ezekiel 16:19	and My food that I gave to you—the fine flour, and oil, and honey I fed you—and you set it before their face for a pleasing aroma; and it came to pass! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 16:20	And you took your sons and your daughters, those whom you bore to Me, and you sacrificed them to them to be devoured! [Was] your prostitution too little?
Ezekiel 16:21	And you have slain My children, and have given them by causing them to pass through to them!
Ezekiel 16:22	And in all your abominations and your prostitutions, you did not remember the days of your youth, in your being naked and bare; you were wallowing in your own blood.
Ezekiel 16:23	And it came to pass after all your evil—Woe, woe to you, a declaration of the Lord YHWH—
Ezekiel 16:24	[that] you built for yourself a mound and you set for yourself a high place in every public square!
Ezekiel 16:25	At every head of the road you built your high places, and you made abhorrent your beauty [by] your opening your feet to all passing by, and you multiplied your prostitutions!
Ezekiel 16:26	And you prostituted yourself with the sons of Egypt, your neighbors, greatly fleshly, and you multiplied your prostitutions to provoke Me to anger.
Ezekiel 16:27	And behold, I stretched out My hand against you, and I diminished your portion, and I gave you over to the appetite of those hating you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your way of prostitution.
Ezekiel 16:28	And you prostituted yourself with the sons of Assyria from your lack of being satisfied, and you prostituted yourself with them, and still you were not satisfied!
Ezekiel 16:29	And you multiplied your prostitutions into the land of the merchants of Chaldea, and even in this you were not satisfied.
Ezekiel 16:30	How weak is your heart, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, in your doing all these deeds of an imperious prostitute woman,
Ezekiel 16:31	in your building your mounds at the head of every road, and your high place you made in every public square. And you were not even like a prostitute because of your scorning of a prostitute’s payment.
Ezekiel 16:32	[You are] the woman committing adultery, [who] in place of her husband does receive strangers!
Ezekiel 16:33	To all prostitutes they give a gift, and you—you gave your gifts to all your lovers and bribed them to come to you from all around in your prostitutions.
Ezekiel 16:34	And it is the opposite from [other] women with you in your prostitution; and no one [was] after you to be a prostitute, and you gave a wage and a wage was not given to you—you are the opposite!
Ezekiel 16:35	Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of YHWH!
Ezekiel 16:36	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Because your lust was poured out, and your nakedness was uncovered in your prostitutions with your lovers and with all the idols of your abominations, and because of the blood of your children, which you gave to them,
Ezekiel 16:37	therefore, behold, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you took pleasure, and all those whom you loved, along with all those you hated, and I will gather them against you from all around. And I will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
Ezekiel 16:38	And I will judge you [with] the judgments of those committing adultery and shedding blood, and I will bring upon you the blood of rage and jealousy.
Ezekiel 16:39	And I will give you into their hands, and they will overthrow your shrines, and they will break down your high places, and they will strip you of your clothes and take away the articles of your beauty, and they will leave you naked and bare.
Ezekiel 16:40	And they will bring up an assembly against you, and they will stone you with stones, and they will cut you up with their swords.
Ezekiel 16:41	And they will burn your houses with fire, and they will execute judgment against you before the eyes of many women. And I will put an end to your prostitution, and even a [single] lover you will not pay again!
Ezekiel 16:42	And I will lay to rest My fury against you, and My jealousy will turn aside from you; and I will be quiet, and I will not be angry anymore.
Ezekiel 16:43	Because that you did not remember the days of your youth, and you caused enragement to Me with all these [things], behold, I also, will recompense your way on [your] head! An utterance of the Lord YHWH. And have you not done this wickedness in addition to all your abominations?
Ezekiel 16:44	Behold everyone quoting proverbs will use [this] proverb against you, saying, ‘Like her mother [is] her daughter.’
Ezekiel 16:45	You [are] the daughter of your mother, loathing her husband and her children; and you [are] the sister of your sisters, those who loathed their husbands and children! Your⁺ mother [was] a Hittite and your⁺ father an Amorite.
Ezekiel 16:46	And your elder sister [is] Samaria, she and her daughters, dwelling to the north of you; and your younger sister, dwelling toyour south, [is] Sodom and her daughters.
Ezekiel 16:47	And not [only] in their ways did you walk, and according to their abominations you acted—as if too little—and you became more corrupt than they in all your ways!
Ezekiel 16:48	As I live—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—Sodom your sister has not done, she and her daughters, as you have done—you and your daughters!
Ezekiel 16:49	Behold, this was the guilt of Sodom your sister: Pride, fullness of bread, and the ease of idleness was unto her and unto her daughters, and the hand of the poor and needy she did not strengthen.
Ezekiel 16:50	And they were haughty, and they did an abomination before My face, and I turned them aside as you have seen.
Ezekiel 16:51	And Samaria, according to the half of your sins, did not sin; and you have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and you have justified your sisters in all the abominations that you have done.
Ezekiel 16:52	So also you, lift up your own shame, that you have brought justification for your sisters in your sins that you made abhorrent beyond theirs. They are more righteous than you, so you too be disgraced and lift up your own shame in your justifying of your sisters.
Ezekiel 16:53	And I will turn back their captivity—the captives of Sodom and her daughters, and the captives of Samaria and her daughters—and the captivity of your captives in their midst,
Ezekiel 16:54	so that you may bear your shame and be disgraced by all that you did, in your giving comfort to them.
Ezekiel 16:55	And your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, will return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters will return to their former state, and you and your daughters will return to your⁺ former state.
Ezekiel 16:56	Has not your sister Sodom come to be as a byword in your mouth in the days of your pride,
Ezekiel 16:57	before your wickedness was uncovered? It is like the time of scorn by the daughters of Edom, and all those around her, and the daughters of the Philistines—those despising you from all around.
Ezekiel 16:58	Your wickedness and your abominations you will bear, a declaration of YHWH.
Ezekiel 16:59	For thus says the Lord YHWH: I will do with you as you have done—those having despised the oath by breaking the covenant.
Ezekiel 16:60	And I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish with you a covenant forever.
Ezekiel 16:61	And you will remember your ways, and you will be ashamed, in your taking your sisters, those older than you to those younger than you, when I give them to you as daughters, and not by your covenant.
Ezekiel 16:62	And I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I [am] YHWH,
Ezekiel 16:63	so that you may remember and be ashamed, and there will come to be for you no more an opening of your mouth from the face of your shame, in My making atonement toward you for all that you have done! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 17:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 17:2	“Son of man, pose a riddle and present a parable to the house of Israel,
Ezekiel 17:3	and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘[A] great eagle, great of wings and long of pinions, full of feathers that [are] unto it of many colors, came to Lebanon, and took [from] the treetop of the cedar.
Ezekiel 17:4	The topmost of its shoots he plucked off and he brought it in to a land of trade. In a city of merchants he set it.
Ezekiel 17:5	And he took from the seed of the land, and he put it it in a field of seed; he took it next to abundant waters; [as] a willow tree he set it.
Ezekiel 17:6	And it grew and became a spreading vine, low of height, turning its branches toward him, and its roots were under it, and it became as a vine and made branches and sent out shoots.
Ezekiel 17:7	And there was one great eagle, great of wings and abundant of feathers, and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and its branches it stretched out toward him, to water it from the beds of its planting.
Ezekiel 17:8	In a good field, [next] to many waters, it was planted, to make branches and to bear fruit, to become as a vine of magnificence.’
Ezekiel 17:9	Say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Will it prosper? Will he not its roots pull up and strip off its fruit, so it withers—all of the fresh sproutings of its branch wither? And not a great arm or many people to lift it up by its roots.
Ezekiel 17:10	And behold, being planted, will it prosper? At the touching of it [by] the wind from the east, Will it not it will completely wither—will it wither on the beds of its planting?’”
Ezekiel 17:11	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 17:12	“Say now to the house of rebellion, ‘Do you⁺ not know what these [are]?’ Say, ‘Behold, the king of Babylon came [to] Jerusalem, and he took her king and her princes, and he brought them with him to Babylon.
Ezekiel 17:13	And he took from the seed of the king, and he cut with him a covenant, and he brought him in under oath—for the mighty ones of the land he had taken away—
Ezekiel 17:14	that the kingdom would be brought low and not lift itself up by keeping his covenant that it may stand.
Ezekiel 17:15	And he rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt, to give to him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he escape, the one doing these [things]? And can he break a covenant, and escape?’
Ezekiel 17:16	‘[As] I live,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH, ‘Will he not—in the place of the king causing him to reign, of whom his oath he despised, and of whom his covenant he broke with him—die in the midst of Babylon.
Ezekiel 17:17	And not with [his] mighty army and [his] great assembly, will Pharaoh maintain him in the war, in the piling up of a siege mound, and with the building of a wall, to cut off many souls.
Ezekiel 17:18	And he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he gave his hand, and all these [things] he did—he will not escape!’
Ezekiel 17:19	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘[As] I live, surely My oath that he despised, and My covenant that he broke, will I not recompense upon his head?
Ezekiel 17:20	And I will spread over him My net, and he will be captured in My snare; and I will bring him to Babylon, and I will execute judgment upon him there [for] the unfaithfulness [with] which he was unfaithful against Me.
Ezekiel 17:21	And all his choice troops will fall by the sword, and those remaining will be scattered to every wind! And you⁺ will know that I, YHWH, have spoken.’
Ezekiel 17:22	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘I will take from the treetop of the highest cedar, and I will set [it] out; from the topmost of its shoots, a tender one I will pluck off, and I will plant [it] on a mountain high and exalted.
Ezekiel 17:23	On a mountain in the height of Israel I will plant it, and it will bear boughs and it will yield fruit, and it will be majestic as a cedar; and will dwell under it every bird of every wing; in the shade of its branches they will dwell.
Ezekiel 17:24	And all the trees of the field will know that I, YHWH, have brought low the high tree, and have raised high the low tree; I dried up the green tree and I made bud the dry tree. I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it].’”
Ezekiel 18:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 18:2	“What [is it] to you⁺ [that] you⁺ are quoting this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ‘The fathers eat sour grapes, and the teeth of the sons are set on edge’?
Ezekiel 18:3	[As] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, it will not be for you⁺ to quote this proverb any longer in Israel,
Ezekiel 18:4	behold, all souls, they [are] unto Me—as the soul of the father, also the soul of the son—they [are] unto Me: The soul that is sinning, it will die.
Ezekiel 18:5	And a man, if he is righteous and does justice and righteousness;
Ezekiel 18:6	[if] on the mountains he has not eaten, and his eyes he has not lifted up to the idols of the house of Israel, and the wife of his neighbor he has not defiled, and toward a woman [in her] impurity he has not come near;
Ezekiel 18:7	he does not and a man oppressed, he does return his pledge to the debtor; [with] violence he has not robbed; he gives his bread to the hungry and he covers the naked [with] clothing;
Ezekiel 18:8	in usury he does not give, and an increase he does not take; he turns back his hand from iniquity; he does true judgment between man and man.
Ezekiel 18:9	In My statutes, he walks and he keeps My ordinances, to act in faithfulness; he [is] righteous, [and] he will surely live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 18:10	And if he begets a violent son, one shedding blood, or [who] does to a brother one of these [things]—
Ezekiel 18:11	and he has not done all of these [things]—for even on the mountains he has eaten, and the wife of his neighbor he has defiled;
Ezekiel 18:12	he has oppressed the poor and needy; by violence he has plundered; the pledge he does not return, and to the idols he has lifted up his eyes; an abomination he has done,
Ezekiel 18:13	in usury he has given, and increase he has taken. Will he live? He will not live! He has done all these abominations; he will surely die, and his blood will be upon him!
Ezekiel 18:14	And behold, [If] he begets a son, and he sees all the sins of his father that he has done—and he sees and does not do likewise—
Ezekiel 18:15	on the mountains he has not eaten; and his eyes he has not lifted to the idols of the house of Israel; the wife of his neighbor he has not defiled,
Ezekiel 18:16	and he has not oppressed a man; he has not withheld a pledge [with] violence he has not robbed; he has given his bread to the hungry and the naked he has covered with clothing;
Ezekiel 18:17	he has turned back his hand from the poor; usury and increase he has not taken, My ordinances he has done, [and] in My statutes has walked. He will not die for the iniquity of his father; he will surely live.
Ezekiel 18:18	His father, because he pressed [with] oppression, he robbed his brother by violence, and what [is] not good he has done in the midst of his people, behold, he will die for his iniquity.
Ezekiel 18:19	And you⁺ may say, ‘Why should not the son bear the guilt of the father?’ And the son has done justice and righteousness, all My statutes he has kept and he has done them; he will surely live.
Ezekiel 18:20	The soul sinning, it will die. The son will not bear the guilt of the father, and the father will not bear the guilt of the son; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.
Ezekiel 18:21	And a wicked one, if he should turn away from all his sins that he has done, and should keep all My statutes, and do justice and righteousness, he will surely live; he will not die.
Ezekiel 18:22	All the transgressions that he has done will not be remembered against him; because of the righteousness that he has done, he will live.
Ezekiel 18:23	Do I take any delight [in] the death of the wicked? An utterance of the Lord YHWH. No, in his turning aside from his ways, and he lives?
Ezekiel 18:24	And in the turning away of a righteous man from his righteousness, and he has done iniquity according to all the abominations that the wicked one does, he does, then will he live? All the righteousness that he has done will not be remembered because of the unfaithfulness with which he was unfaithful and the sin that he has sinned; in them he will die.
Ezekiel 18:25	And you⁺ have said, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Hear now, O house of Israel: Is it My way [that] is not just? Is it not your⁺ ways [that] are not just?
Ezekiel 18:26	In the turning away of a righteous one from his righteousness, when he does iniquity and dies in it, because of the iniquity that he has done, he dies.
Ezekiel 18:27	And in the turning away of the wicked from the wickedness that he has done, when he does justice and righteousness, he will keep alive his soul.
Ezekiel 18:28	And he considers and turns away from all the transgressions that he had done; he will surely live; he will not die.
Ezekiel 18:29	And the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ Are My ways not just, O house of Israel? [Is it] not your⁺ ways [that] are not just?
Ezekiel 18:30	Therefore each man, according to his ways, I will judge you⁺, O house of Israel, a declaration of the Lord YHWH. Turn away and turn away from all your⁺ transgressions, and iniquity will not be unto you⁺ as a stumbling block.
Ezekiel 18:31	Cast away from you⁺ all the transgressions that you⁺ have transgressed by them, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! For why should you⁺ die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel 18:32	For I do not delight in the death of the one dying, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, turn back and live!
Ezekiel 19:1	[“] And you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezekiel 19:2	and say: ‘What [was] your mother? A lioness among the lions! She stretched out in the midst of young lions; she reared her cubs.
Ezekiel 19:3	And she brought up one of her cubs; he became a young lion, and he learned to tear prey; he devoured men.
Ezekiel 19:4	And the nations heard of him; he was caught in their pit, and they brought him with the hooks to the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 19:5	And she saw that she had waited; her hope had perished, and she took one of her cubs; she has made it a young lion.
Ezekiel 19:6	And he went about in the midst of the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.
Ezekiel 19:7	And he broke down their strongholds, and their cities he laid waste, and the land was devastated and all its fullness by the voice of his roaring.
Ezekiel 19:8	And set out against him the nations all around from the provinces, and they spread over him their net; he was caught in their pit.
Ezekiel 19:9	And they put him in the cage with the hooks, and they brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him in the nets so that his voice was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 19:10	Your mother [was] was like a vine in your vineyard; by the waters she was planted; she was fruitful and full of branches from the many waters.
Ezekiel 19:11	And there were unto her branches of strength for scepters of rulers, and she towered in height over among the thick branches, and it was seen in its height, in the abundance of its branches.
Ezekiel 19:12	And she was uprooted in fury; she was cast down to the ground, and the wind from the east dried up her fruit; the branches of her strength were broken and withered; fire consumed them.
Ezekiel 19:13	And now she [is] planted in the wilderness, in a land of dryness and thirst.
Ezekiel 19:14	And fire has gone out from a staff of her branches; it devoured her fruit, so that there should not be in her a staff of strength, a scepter for ruling.’ This [is] a lamentation, and it is for lamentation.”
Ezekiel 20:1	And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth, on the tenth of the month, [that] came men from the elders of Israel to inquire of YHWH, and they sat before me.
Ezekiel 20:2	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 20:3	“Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: Have you⁺ come to inquire of Me? [As] I live, I will not be inquired of by you⁺, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 20:4	Will you judge them? Will you judge [them], son of man? Make known to them the abominations of their fathers,
Ezekiel 20:5	and say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: On the day of my choosing Israel, I lifted My hand to the seed of the house of Jacob, and I made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt. And I lifted My hand to them, saying, ‘I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’
Ezekiel 20:6	On that day I lifted My hand to them to bring them out from the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey—the glory it [is] of all the lands!
Ezekiel 20:7	And I said to them, ‘Each man must throw away the abominations before his eyes, and with the idols of Egypt you⁺ shall not defile yourselves! I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’
Ezekiel 20:8	And they rebelled against Me, and they were not willing to listen to Me. Each man, the abominations of their eyes, they did not cast away, and the idols of Egypt they did not forsake. And I said, I will pour out My fury upon them, to complete My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt!
Ezekiel 20:9	And I acted for the sake of My name, for it not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations, in the midst of whom they [were], who before their eyes I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out from the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:10	And I brought them out from the land of Egypt, and I brought them into the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:11	And I gave to them My statutes, and I made known [to] them My judgments, which the man shall do them, and he will live by them.
Ezekiel 20:12	And also My Sabbaths I gave to them to be as a sign between Me and between them, that they might know that I [am] YHWH, the One sanctifying them.
Ezekiel 20:13	And the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. In My statutes they did not walk, and My judgments they rejected, which the man shall do them, and he will live by them. And My Sabbaths they defiled greatly. And I said to pour out My fury on them in the wilderness to put an end to them!
Ezekiel 20:14	And I acted for the sake of My name, for it not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations, who before their eyes I had brought them out.
Ezekiel 20:15	And also I lifted My hand to them in the wilderness not to bring them into the land that I had given, flowing with milk and honey—the glory it is of all the lands,
Ezekiel 20:16	because My ordinances they rejected, and My statutes they did not walk in them, and My Sabbaths they profaned, for their heart was walking after their idols.
Ezekiel 20:17	And My eye showed pity to them from destroying them, and I did not make a complete end of them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:18	And I said to their sons in the wilderness, ‘In the statutes of your⁺ fathers you⁺ shall not walk, and their ordinances you⁺ shall not keep, and with their idols you⁺ shall not defile yourselves.
Ezekiel 20:19	I [am] YHWH your⁺ God; in My statutes you must walk, and My ordinances you must keep and do them,
Ezekiel 20:20	and My Sabbaths keep holy, that they may be as a sign between Me and between you⁺, to know that I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’
Ezekiel 20:21	And the sons also rebelled against Me. In My statutes they did not walk, and My judgments they did not keep to do them, which a man shall do them, and he will live by them. My Sabbaths they profaned, and I said to pour out My fury on them to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel 20:22	And I turned back My hand, and I acted for the sake of My name not to be profaned in the eyes of the nations who before their eyes I had brought them out.
Ezekiel 20:23	I also, I have lifted up My hand to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the nations and to scatter them among the lands,
Ezekiel 20:24	because My ordinances they had not done, and My statutes they had rejected, and My Sabbaths they had profaned, and their eyes were after the idols of their fathers.
Ezekiel 20:25	And also I gave to them statutes not good, and ordinances by which they could not live.
Ezekiel 20:26	And I made them unclean through their gifts, in making pass through all their firstborn, so that I might make them desolate, so that they would know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 20:27	Therefore, speak to the house of Israel, son of man, and say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: Also in this your⁺ fathers, in their being unfaithful to Me, blasphemed Me in unfaithfulness.
Ezekiel 20:28	And I brought them into the land that I had lifted up My hand to give it to them, and they saw all the high hills and every leafy tree, and there they offered their sacrifices, and there [was] provocation by their offerings, and there they sent [up] their pleasing aroma, and there they poured out their drink offerings.
Ezekiel 20:29	And I said to them, ‘What [is] this high place [to] which you⁺ are going there?’ And its name is called Bamah to this day.
Ezekiel 20:30	Therefore say to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: In the way of your⁺ fathers will you⁺ be defiling yourselves and prostituting yourselves after their abominations?
Ezekiel 20:31	For in your lifting up your⁺ gifts, and making your⁺ sons pass through the fire, you⁺ are defiling yourselves with all your⁺ idols, even to this day. And shall I be consulted by you⁺, O house of Israel? [As] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, I will not be consulted by you⁺!
Ezekiel 20:32	And the [thing] coming up upon your⁺ mind, not at all shall come to pass—that you⁺ say, let us become like the nations, like the tribes of the lands, ministering [to] wood and stone!’
Ezekiel 20:33	[As] I live—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—if not with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with fury poured out I will rule over you⁺!
Ezekiel 20:34	And I will bring out you⁺ from the peoples, and I will gather you⁺ from the lands to which you⁺ have been scattered in them, with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with fury poured out.
Ezekiel 20:35	And I will bring you⁺ into the wilderness of the peoples, and I will enter into judgment with you⁺ there, face to face!
Ezekiel 20:36	As I entered into judgment with your⁺ fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you⁺, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 20:37	And I will make you⁺ pass under the rod, and I will bring you⁺ into the bond of the covenant.
Ezekiel 20:38	And I will purge from among you⁺ those rebelling and those transgressing against Me; from the land of their sojourning I will bring out them, and into the land of Israel they will not come. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 20:39	And you⁺, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: Let [each] man go [and] serve his idols, and afterward, if you⁺ are not listening to Me; and the name of My holiness you⁺ will profane no more with your⁺ gifts and with your⁺ idols!
Ezekiel 20:40	For on the mountain of My holiness, on the mountain of the height of Israel, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, there they will serve Me—all the house of Israel, all of them in the land. There I will accept them, and there I will seek out your⁺ contributions and the firstfruits of your⁺ sacrifices with all your⁺ holy things.
Ezekiel 20:41	With a pleasing aroma I will accept you⁺, in My bringing you⁺ out from the peoples and in My gathering you⁺ from the lands to which you⁺ have been scattered in them; and I will show My holiness in you⁺ before the eyes of the nations.
Ezekiel 20:42	And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, in My bringing you⁺ to the land of Israel, to the land that I lifted My hand to give it to your⁺ fathers.
Ezekiel 20:43	And you⁺ will remember there your⁺ ways, and all your⁺ deeds with which you⁺ defiled yourselves in them, and you⁺ will be loathsome in your⁺ own sight for all the evils that you⁺ have done.
Ezekiel 20:44	And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, in my dealing with you⁺ for the sake of My name, not according to your⁺ evil ways and your⁺ corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 20:45	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 20:46	“Son of man, set your face [to] the way of Teman, and preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest of the land of the Negev.
Ezekiel 20:47	And say to the forest of the Negev, Hear the word of YHWH, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I am going to kindle in you a fire, and it will devour in you every moist tree and every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north will be scorched by it!
Ezekiel 20:48	And all flesh will see that I, YHWH, have kindled it l it will not be quenched.”
Ezekiel 20:49	And I said: “Ah, Lord YHWH! They are saying of me, ‘Is he not one telling parables?’”
Ezekiel 21:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 21:2	“Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach against the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Ezekiel 21:3	and say to the land of Israel, thus says YHWH: ‘Behold, I [am] against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and I will cut off from you the righteous one and the wicked one!
Ezekiel 21:4	Because that I will cut off from you the righteous one and the wicked one, therefore My sword will go forth from its sheath against all flesh, from south to north.
Ezekiel 21:5	And all flesh will know that I, YHWH, have drawn My sword from its sheath; it will not return anymore!’
Ezekiel 21:6	And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of loins, and with bitterness groan before their eyes.
Ezekiel 21:7	And it will come to pass when they say to you, ‘For what [are] you sighing?’ That you will answer, ‘Because of the news that is coming; and every heart will melt, and all hands will become feeble, and every spirit will faint, and all knees will turn to water.’ Behold, it is coming, and it will come to pass! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 21:8	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 21:9	“Son of man, prophesy and say, thus says the Lord: Say, ‘A sword, a sword is sharpened, also polished,
Ezekiel 21:10	it is sharpened in order to slaughter a slaughter; it is polished in order [that] it may become lightning. Or should we rejoice [in] the scepter of My son? It is despising every such stick?
Ezekiel 21:11	And He has given it to be polished, to grasp it in the palm; the sword is sharpened and it is polished, to be given it into the hand of the one slaying.
Ezekiel 21:12	Cry and wail, O son of man! For it shall be upon my people; it [is] against all the princes of Israel! They are cast to the sword they will be upon My people! Therefore strike upon [your] thigh.
Ezekiel 21:13	For there is a testing; and what if even the scepter it is despising does not continue!’ An utterance of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 21:14	‘And you, son of man, prophesy and strike together the palm, and let the sword come twice—a third time—the sword of the slain! It [is] the sword of great slaughter that is surrounding them,
Ezekiel 21:15	in order to melt the heart and to increase those stumbling. Against all their gates I have appointed a sword for slaughter. Ah, it is made as lightning; it is grasped for slaughter!
Ezekiel 21:16	Slash, thrust right, set it, thrust left, wherever your face is appointed!
Ezekiel 21:17	And I also will strike My palm to My palm, and My fury I will cause to rest.’ I, YHWH, have spoken.”
Ezekiel 21:18	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 21:19	“And you, son of man, set for yourself two ways to go for the sword of the king of Babylon! From one land they will come forth, the two of them, and create a signpost—at the head of the way to the city create [it].
Ezekiel 21:20	Appoint a way for the coming of the sword to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon and to Judah, into fortified Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 21:21	For the king of Babylon stands at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to divine [with] divination; he shakes the arrows, he inquires of the teraphim, he looks at the liver.
Ezekiel 21:22	In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem, to set up battering rams, to open the mouth with shattering, to lift high the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a mound, and to build a wall.
Ezekiel 21:23	And it will be to them like an empty divination in their eyes, those having sworn oaths with them; and he will call to remembrance their guilt, to take them captive.
Ezekiel 21:24	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because you⁺ have made your⁺ iniquity to be remembered, in your⁺ transgressions being uncovered, to cause your⁺ sins to be seen in all your⁺ deeds—because of your⁺ being remembered, you⁺ shall be taken in hand.
Ezekiel 21:25	And you, O profane [and] wicked prince of Israel, [for] whom his day has come, in the time of [your] punishment at the end—
Ezekiel 21:26	thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Turn aside the turban and lift off the crown; this [will] no longer [be] the same! The low make high, and the high make low.
Ezekiel 21:27	A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be until He comes whose it is; to Him I have assigned the judgment.
Ezekiel 21:28	And you, son of man, prophesy and say, thus says the Lord YHWH concerning the sons of Ammon and concerning their scorn; and you shall say: ‘A sword, a sword is opened for slaughter! Polished for consuming, in order [to be] like lightning.
Ezekiel 21:29	In seeing falsehood for you, in divining to you a lie, to put you on the necks of the wounded of the wicked, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Ezekiel 21:30	Return [it] to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.
Ezekiel 21:31	And I will pour out on you My anger; with the fire of My wrath I will blow against you, and I will give you into the hands of brutish men, craftsmen of destruction.
Ezekiel 21:32	For the fire you will be as food; your blood will be in the midst of the land; you will not be remembered! Indeed I, YHWH, have spoken.’”
Ezekiel 22:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 22:2	“And you, son of man, will you judge, will you judge [this] city of blood? Then make known to her all her abominations,
Ezekiel 22:3	and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘O city, pouring out blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and she makes idols upon herself to defile herself!
Ezekiel 22:4	By the blood that you have poured out, you have become guilty, and by the idols that you have made, you have defiled yourself; and your days you have brought near, and you have come to your years! Upon thus I have made you a reproach for the nations, and of derision for all the lands.
Ezekiel 22:5	Those near and those far from you will mock you, O unclean of name, full of turmoil.
Ezekiel 22:6	Behold, the princes of Israel, each man to his arm, have come to be among you in order to pour out blood!
Ezekiel 22:7	The father and mother they have belittled among you; against the sojourner they have acted with oppression in your midst; the fatherless and the widow they have mistreated among you.
Ezekiel 22:8	My holy things you have despised, and My Sabbaths you have profaned.
Ezekiel 22:9	Men of slander are among you in order to pour out blood, and on the mountains they eat among you, [and] wickedness they do in your midst.
Ezekiel 22:10	The nakedness of their fathers they uncover among you; the impurity of the women they violate among you.
Ezekiel 22:11	And a man with the wife of his neighbor commits an abomination, and [another] man his daughter-in-law defiles in wickedness; and a man violates his sister, the daughter of his father, among you.
Ezekiel 22:12	They take Bribes among you in order to pour out blood; usury and increase you take, and you cut off your neighbors by extortion, and Me you have forgotten, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 22:13	So behold, I strike My hands against your dishonest gain that you have made, and over the bloodshed that has come to be in your midst!
Ezekiel 22:14	Can your heart stand or can your hands remain strong, in the days when I will be dealing with you? I, YHWH, have spoken, and I will act.
Ezekiel 22:15	And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will finish off your uncleanness from you.
Ezekiel 22:16	And you will profane yourself before the eyes of the nations, and you will know that I [am] YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 22:17	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 22:18	“Son of man, the house of Israel has become to Me as dross; they [are] all bronze, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of a furnace; they have become the dross of silver.
Ezekiel 22:19	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because all of you⁺ have become as dross, therefore, behold, I am going to gather you⁺ into the midst of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel 22:20	The gathering of silver, and bronze, and iron, and lead, and tin into the midst of a furnace, to blow on it fire to melt [it]; so I will gather [you] in My anger and in My fury, and I will leave [you] and I will melt you⁺!
Ezekiel 22:21	And I will gather you⁺ and will blow on you⁺ with the fire of My wrath, and you⁺ will be melted in its midst.
Ezekiel 22:22	As silver is melted in the midst of a furnace, so will you⁺ be melted in its midst. And you⁺ will know that I, YHWH, have poured out My fury upon you⁺.’”
Ezekiel 22:23	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
Ezekiel 22:24	“Son of man, say to her: ‘You [are] a land that is not cleansed, nor [is] rain on her, in the day of anger.’
Ezekiel 22:25	The conspiracy of her princes in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured the soul; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.
Ezekiel 22:26	Her priests have done violence to My law, and have profaned My holy things; between the holy [and] the profane they do not separate, and between the unclean [and] the clean they do not discern; and from My Sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, and I am profaned in their midst!
Ezekiel 22:27	Her princes within her [are] like wolves tearing the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, and to break off dishonest gain.
Ezekiel 22:28	And her prophets have covered them with whitewash, seeing falsehood and divining for them a lie, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord YHWH,’ and YHWH has not spoken.
Ezekiel 22:29	The people of the land [with] oppression have oppressed, and [with] robbery have robbed, and the poor and the needy they have mistreated; and the sojourner they oppress without justice.
Ezekiel 22:30	And I sought from them a man walling up the wall and standing in the breach before Me, on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it, and no one did I find.
Ezekiel 22:31	And I have poured out on them My anger; with the fire of My wrath I have consumed them; their deeds have I recompensed on their own heads! An utterance of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 23:1	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 23:2	“Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.
Ezekiel 23:3	And they acted as prostitutes in Egypt; in their youth they were prostitutes; there were squeezed their breasts, and there were pressed the nipples of their virginity.
Ezekiel 23:4	And their names [were] Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. And they were unto Me, and they gave birth to sons and daughters. And their names—Samaria [is] Oholah, and Jerusalem [is] Oholibah.
Ezekiel 23:5	And Oholah prostituted herself under Me, and she lusted over her lovers, toward Assyria, warriors
Ezekiel 23:6	clothed [in] purple, governors and commanders, young men of desire all of them, horsemen riding on horses.
Ezekiel 23:7	And she gave her prostitutions with them, choice men of Assyria, all of them; and with all [for] whom she lusted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
Ezekiel 23:8	And her prostitutions from Egypt she has not left behind; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they pressed the nipples of her virginity, and poured out their lust upon her.
Ezekiel 23:9	Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Assyria, for whom she lusted.
Ezekiel 23:10	They have uncovered her nakedness; her sons and daughters they took away, and with the sword they slew her. And she has become a byword among the women, and they executed when judgment against her.
Ezekiel 23:11	And her sister Oholibah saw [this], and in her lust she became corrupt above her, and her prostitutions [were] more than the prostitution of her sister.
Ezekiel 23:12	She lusted after the sons of Assyria—governors and commanders, warriors clothed in perfection, horsemen riding on horses, young men of desire all of them.
Ezekiel 23:13	And I saw that she was defiled; one way [is] unto the two of them,
Ezekiel 23:14	and she had added to her prostitutions, and she looked at men portrayed on the wall, images of Chaldeans portrayed in vermilion,
Ezekiel 23:15	girded with belts around their loins, turbans flowing on their heads, [with] the appearance of officers all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon, Chaldea the land of their origin.
Ezekiel 23:16	And she lusted for them at the seeing of her eyes, and she sent messengers to them in Chaldea.
Ezekiel 23:17	And the sons of Babylon came to her, into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their lust; and she was defiled by them, and she dislocated her soul from them.
Ezekiel 23:18	And she uncovered her prostitutions, and she uncovered her nakedness, and I dislocated My soul from her, as I had dislocated My soul from her sister.
Ezekiel 23:19	And she multiplied her prostitutions, to remember the days of her youth, when she had prostituted herself in the land of Egypt,
Ezekiel 23:20	and lusted after their lovers, [for] whom the flesh of donkeys [is] the flesh, and the emission of stallions [was] their emission.
Ezekiel 23:21	And you revisited the wickedness of your youth, in the pressing by the Egyptians of your nipples, on account of the breasts of your youth.
Ezekiel 23:22	Therefore, Oholibah, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, from whom you have dislocated your soul, and I will bring them against you from all around:
Ezekiel 23:23	The sons of Babylon and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, all the sons of Assyria with them—young men of desire, governors and commanders all of them, officers and renowned ones, all of them riding on horses.
Ezekiel 23:24	And they will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a horde of people; buckler and shield and helmet they will array against you all around; and I will give to them judgment, and they will judge you by their own judgments.
Ezekiel 23:25	And I will set My jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in anger; your nose and your ears they will turn aside, and your survivors will fall by the sword; they will take your sons and your daughters, and your remnant will be devoured by the fire!
Ezekiel 23:26	And they will strip you of your clothes, and they will take away the articles of your beauty.
Ezekiel 23:27	And your wickedness I will make cease from you, and your prostitution from the land of Egypt, and you will not lift up your eyes to them, and Egypt you will not remember anymore.’
Ezekiel 23:28	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am giving you into the hand of those whom you hate, into the hand of those whom you had alienated your soul from.
Ezekiel 23:29	And they will deal with you in hate, and they will take away all your labor, and they will leave you naked and bare, and the nakedness of your prostitutions will be uncovered, and your wickedness, and your prostitutions!
Ezekiel 23:30	I will do these [things] to you upon your prostituting yourself after the nations, upon that you have defiled yourself with their idols.
Ezekiel 23:31	You have walked in the way of your sister, and I have given her cup into your hand.’
Ezekiel 23:32	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘The cup of your sister you will drink, deep and wide; it will be for laughter and derision, in its containing a great amount.
Ezekiel 23:33	With drunkenness and sorrow you will be filled—the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria—
Ezekiel 23:34	and you will drink it and drain it, and its shards you will dash and tear at your breasts! For I have spoken,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 23:35	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because you have forgotten Me, and you have cast Me behind your back, you also will bear your wickedness and your prostitutions.’”
Ezekiel 23:36	And YHWH said to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? You must make known to them their abominations.
Ezekiel 23:37	For they have committed adultery, and blood [is] on their hands; with their idols they have committed adultery, and even their sons whom they bore to Me, they made pass through [the fire] for them as food.
Ezekiel 23:38	Moreover this they have done to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on that day, and My Sabbaths have profaned.
Ezekiel 23:39	For in their slaughtering their children to their idols, they came into My sanctuary on that day to profane it; and behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
Ezekiel 23:40	and also that they sent for men to come from afar, to whom a messenger [was] sent, and behold—they came, those for whom you washed yourself [and] painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with ornaments.
Ezekiel 23:41	And you sat on a glorious couch, [with] a table arranged before it, and My incense and My oil you had set on it.
Ezekiel 23:42	And the voice of a crowd at ease [was] with her, and to men from the multitude of mankind were brought drunkards from the wilderness, and they gave bracelets to their wrists and crowns of beauty upon their heads.
Ezekiel 23:43	And I said of her who was worn out in adulteries, ‘Now will they commit prostitutions with her—and she also!’
Ezekiel 23:44	And they have come in to her as the coming in to a woman, a prostitute. Thus they went [in] to Oholah and to Oholibah, women of wickedness!
Ezekiel 23:45	And righteous men, they will pass judgment [on] them with the judgment of adulteresses, and [with] the judgment of those shedding blood, because they [are] adulteresses, and blood [is] on their hands!
Ezekiel 23:46	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Bring up against them an assembly, and give them to terror and plunder!
Ezekiel 23:47	And the assembly will stone them [with] stones and will cut down them with their swords; their sons and their daughters they will slay, they will burn and their houses with the fire.
Ezekiel 23:48	And [this] wickedness I will make cease from the land, and all the women will be admonished and they will not act according to your⁺ wickedness.
Ezekiel 23:49	And they will put your⁺ wickedness upon you⁺, and the sins of your⁺ idols you⁺ will bear. And you⁺ will know that I [am] the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 24:1	And the word of YHWH came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying:
Ezekiel 24:2	“Son of man, write down for yourself the name of the day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege against Jerusalem on this very day.
Ezekiel 24:3	And utter to house the rebellious a parable, and say to them—thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Put on a pot; put [it] on, and also pour water into it.
Ezekiel 24:4	To gather its pieces to it, every good piece—thigh and shoulder; fill [it] with the choicest of limbs.
Ezekiel 24:5	Take the choicest of the flock, and pile up the bones under it; bring to a boil the boiling of it, and let seethe the limbs in the midst of it.’
Ezekiel 24:6	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Woe to the city of blood, the pot that has rust in it, and its corrosion has not gone out from it! Piece after piece bring out from it; a lot has not fallen on it.
Ezekiel 24:7	For her blood is in her midst; upon a clear place of a rock she set it; she has not poured it out on the ground to cover over it with dust.
Ezekiel 24:8	To cause fury to come up, to avenge [with] vengeance, I have given her blood upon a clear place of a rock, that it should not be covered.’
Ezekiel 24:9	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Woe to the city of blood! Even I will make great the pyre!
Ezekiel 24:10	Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
Ezekiel 24:11	And set it on its coals empty, so that it may become hot and its bronze may burn, it will be melted in the midst of its impurity, its corrosion consumed.
Ezekiel 24:12	[With] toiling she has grown weary, and the abundance of her corrosion has not gone out from her—into the fire [with] her corrosion!
Ezekiel 24:13	In your uncleanness [is] wickedness, because I have cleansed you and you would not be cleansed from your uncleanness, you will not be cleansed anymore, until I have caused to rest My fury on you.
Ezekiel 24:14	I, YHWH, have spoken [it]—it is coming, and I will do [it]! I will not hold back, and I will not show pity, and I will not relent. According to your ways, and according to your deeds they will judge you,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 24:15	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 24:16	“Son of man, behold—I am taking away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke, and you will not mourn and you will not weep, and your tears will not run down.
Ezekiel 24:17	Groan, keep silent, you shall make no mourning for the dead. Bind your turban on you, and place your sandals on your feet; do not put a wrap over the lip, and the bread of men do not eat.”
Ezekiel 24:18	And I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening, and in the morning I did as I was commanded.
Ezekiel 24:19	And the people said to me: “Will you not declare to us what these [things] [are] to us, that you are doing [this]?”
Ezekiel 24:20	And I gave the answer to them: “The word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 24:21	Speak to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am going to profane My sanctuary, the pride of your⁺ strength, the desire of your⁺ eyes, and the delight of your⁺ soul; and your⁺ sons and daughters, whom you⁺ left behind, will fall by the sword.’
Ezekiel 24:22	And you⁺ will do as I have done: Upon the lip you⁺ shall not put a wrap, and bread of men you⁺ shall not eat;
Ezekiel 24:23	and your⁺ turbans will be on your⁺ heads, and your⁺ sandals on your⁺ feet. You⁺ will not mourn nor weep; and you⁺ will waste away in your⁺ iniquities, and a man will groan toward his brother.
Ezekiel 24:24	And Ezekiel will be to you⁺ as a sign; according to all that he has done, you⁺ will do. And in its coming to pass, you⁺ will know that I [am] the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 24:25	And you, son of man, [is it] not in the day of My taking from them their stronghold, their joy, their glory, the desire of their eyes, and the burden of their soul—their sons and their daughters—
Ezekiel 24:26	on that day will come one who escapes to you as a cause to hear the ears?
Ezekiel 24:27	On that day your mouth will be opened [to] the one who has escaped, and you will speak, and you will not be mute any longer; and you will be for them as a sign, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 25:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 25:2	“Son of man, set your face against the sons of Ammon, and prophesy against them.
Ezekiel 25:3	And say to the sons of Ammon, hear the word of the Lord YHWH, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because you said, “Aha!” Against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it became desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went, into captivity;
Ezekiel 25:4	therefore behold, I am giving you to the sons of the East as a possession, and they will settle their encampments among you, and they will put their tents among you; they will eat your fruit, and they will drink your milk.
Ezekiel 25:5	And I will give Rabbah as a habitation of camels, and the sons of Ammon as a resting place for the flock. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.’
Ezekiel 25:6	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because of your clapping hands and your stomping with feet, and you rejoiced with all contempt of heart against the land of Israel,
Ezekiel 25:7	therefore behold, I am stretching out My hand against you, and will give you as plunder to the nations, and I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the lands; I will destroy you, and you will know that I [am] YHWH!’
Ezekiel 25:8	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because of the saying of Moab and Seir, “Behold, like all the nations [is] the house of Judah,”
Ezekiel 25:9	therefore behold, I am going to lay open the shoulder of Moab from the cities, from its cities on its frontier, the glory of the land—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim—
Ezekiel 25:10	to the sons of the East, along with the sons of Ammon, and I will give it as a possession, so that the sons of Ammon may not be remembered among the nations.
Ezekiel 25:11	And against Moab I will make judgments, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.’
Ezekiel 25:12	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because Edom acted by taking vengeance against the house of Judah, so they incurred grievous guilt in the avenging themselves on them.
Ezekiel 25:13	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: I will stretch out My hand against Edom, and will cut off from it man and beast, and I will give it as a desolation; from Teman and to Dedan they will fall by the sword.
Ezekiel 25:14	And I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, and they will act in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury, and they will know My vengeance, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 25:15	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because the Philistines acted with vengeance and took vengeance with scorn in the soul, to destroy with ancient hostility,
Ezekiel 25:16	therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stretching out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites, and I will destroy the remnant of the coast of the sea.
Ezekiel 25:17	And I will execute against them great vengeance, with rebukes of fury, and they will know that I [am] YHWH when I lay My vengeance upon them!’”
Ezekiel 26:1	And it came to pass in the eleventh [month of the twelfth] year, on the first of the month, [that] came the word of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 26:2	“Son of man, because that Tyre has said concerning Jerusalem, ‘Aha, she is broken, the gate of the peoples—she is turned over to me; I will be filled; she is destroyed,’
Ezekiel 26:3	therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I [am] against you, O Tyre, and I will bring up against you many nations, as the sea brings up its waves.
Ezekiel 26:4	And they will destroy the walls of Tyre, and they will throw down her towers; and I will scrape her dust from her, and will give her as a clear place of a rock.
Ezekiel 26:5	She will be a spreading place of nets in the midst of the sea—for I have spoken, says the Lord YHWH—and she will become as plunder for the nations,
Ezekiel 26:6	and her daughters who are on her mainland will be slain by the sword, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.’
Ezekiel 26:7	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am bringing against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the north, the king of kings, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, even an assembly, and a numerous people.
Ezekiel 26:8	Your daughters on the mainland he will slay with the sword, and he will set against you a siege mound, and he will build against you a wall and raise against you a buckler;
Ezekiel 26:9	and the blow of his battering ram he will place against your walls, and your towers he will tear down with his swords.
Ezekiel 26:10	From the abundance of his horses will cover you their dust, [and] from the noise of the horsemen, and the wagons, and the chariots, your walls will shake in his coming in your gates, like those entering a city having been breached.
Ezekiel 26:11	With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; your people he will slay with the sword, and the pillars of your strength will come down to the ground.
Ezekiel 26:12	And they will plunder your riches, and they will seize your merchandise; they will throw down your walls, and the houses of your desire they will tear down; and your stones and your timber and your soil they will put in the midst of the waters.
Ezekiel 26:13	And the roar of your songs I will make cease, and the sound of your harps will be heard no more.
Ezekiel 26:14	And I will give you as a clear place of a rock; you will be a spreading place of nets; you will not be rebuilt anymore! For I, YHWH, have spoken,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 26:15	Thus says the Lord YHWH to Tyre: ‘Will not—at the sound of your downfall, with the groaning of the wounded, with the great slaughter in your midst—the coastlands quake?
Ezekiel 26:16	And will come down from upon their thrones all the princes of the sea, and they will lay aside their robes, and the garments of their embroidery they will strip off; with trembling they will clothe themselves, [and] upon the ground they will sit and tremble at [every] moment, and they will be appalled over you.
Ezekiel 26:17	And they will take up over you a lamentation, and they will say to you: “How you have perished, one inhabited from the seas, O city renowned, who was strong on the sea—she and those dwelling in her, who gave out their terror to all those dwelling by her!
Ezekiel 26:18	Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall, and are dismayed the islands that [are] in the sea, at your going out.”’
Ezekiel 26:19	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘In My making you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, in bringing up upon you the deep, that the great waters should cover you,
Ezekiel 26:20	I will bring you down with those going down [to] the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell within the earth, [in] the places below, like the ruins of old—with those going down [to] the Pit, so that you will not be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 26:21	I will make you a terror, and you will be no more; and you will be sought, and you will not be found anymore forever,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 27:1	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 27:2	“And you, son of man, take up concerning Tyre a lamentation,
Ezekiel 27:3	and to Tyre, the one dwelling at the entrances of the sea, being merchant of the peoples on many coasts, say, thus says the Lord YHWH: O Tyre, you have said: ‘I [am] perfect in beauty.’
Ezekiel 27:4	In the midst of the seas [are] your borders, [and] your builders have perfected your beauty.
Ezekiel 27:5	With cypress from Senir they have built for you all [your] planks; a cedar from Lebanon they took to make a mast for you.
Ezekiel 27:6	Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; your boards they have made with ivory, of the daughter of the Ashurites from the coasts of Kittim.
Ezekiel 27:7	Of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail, to be for you a banner; blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was your awning.
Ezekiel 27:8	Those dwelling in Sidon and Arvad were the rowers for you; your wise men, O Tyre, were in you—they [were] your pilots.
Ezekiel 27:9	Elders of Gebal and her wise men were in you, strengthening your breaches; all the ships of the sea and their sailors were in you, to offer merchandise to you.
Ezekiel 27:10	Persia and Lydia and Libya were in your force, as men of war for you; shield and helmet they hung within you—they gave splendor to you.
Ezekiel 27:11	The sons of Arvad and Helech [were] on your walls round about, and the Gammadites were on your towers; their shields they hung on your walls round about—they perfected your beauty.
Ezekiel 27:12	Tarshish [was] your merchant, from the abundance of all wealth—in silver, iron, tin, and lead—they gave [for] your wares.
Ezekiel 27:13	Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they traded in souls of man and vessels of bronze—they gave [for] your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:14	From the house of Togarmah, horses and steeds and mules they gave [for] your wares.
Ezekiel 27:15	The sons of Dedan were your traders, many coastlands [were] your market of your hand; horns of ivory and ebony they returned as your payment.
Ezekiel 27:16	Aram [was] your merchant, from the abundance of your works in turquoise, purple, and embroidery, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies—they gave [for] your wares.
Ezekiel 27:17	Judah and the land of Israel they traded with you in wheat of Minnith, and meal, and honey, and oil, and balm—they gave [for] your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:18	Damascus traded with you for the abundance of your works, from the abundance of all [your] wealth—with wine of Helbon and with wool of Sahar.
Ezekiel 27:19	And casks of wine from Izal they gave for your wares; smoothed iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise.
Ezekiel 27:20	Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.
Ezekiel 27:21	Arabia and all the princes of Kedar, they [were] trading with you in lambs, and rams, and goats—in these they were your merchants.
Ezekiel 27:22	The traders of Sheba and Raamah, they traded with you in the choicest of all spice, and in every of precious stone, and gold—they gave [for] your wares.
Ezekiel 27:23	Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, were traders of Sheba, Assyria, [and] Chilmad traded with you;
Ezekiel 27:24	they traded with you—in fine, garments of blue, embroidered work, rugs and multicolored, with cords tightly twisted and knotted—for your marketplace.
Ezekiel 27:25	The ships of Tarshish were the transporters of your merchandise, and you were full and very heavy in the midst of the seas.
Ezekiel 27:26	Into many waters they have brought you, those rowing for you; a wind from the east has broken you in the midst of the seas.
Ezekiel 27:27	Your riches, and your wares, your merchandise, your mariners, and your pilots, the repairers of your breach[es], and those offering your merchandise, and all [your] men of war who [are] in you, and all your assembled [force] which [is] in your midst, will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your downfall!
Ezekiel 27:28	At the sound of the cry of your sailors the common lands will shake,
Ezekiel 27:29	and they will come down from their ships—all those handling the oar, the mariners [and] all the sailors of the sea will stand at the shore.
Ezekiel 27:30	And they will make heard over you their voice, and they will cry out bitterly, and they will bring up dust upon their heads; they will roll about in ashes.
Ezekiel 27:31	And they will shave themselves bald because of you, and they will gird themselves with sackcloth and weep for you with bitterness of heart—bitter wailing.
Ezekiel 27:32	And they will lift up a lamentation for you in their wailing, and they will lament over you: ‘Who [was] like Tyre, silenced in the midst of the sea?
Ezekiel 27:33	In the going forth of your wares from the sea, you satisfied many people; with the abundance of your wealth and your merchandise, you enriched the kings of the earth.
Ezekiel 27:34	In time [you] are broken by the seas, in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.
Ezekiel 27:35	All those dwelling in the coasts are appalled over you, and their kings bristle [with] bristling; the faces trembled.
Ezekiel 27:36	The traders among the nations hiss at you; you have become a horror, and you will be no more, even to forever!’”
Ezekiel 28:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 28:2	“Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre, thus says the Lord YHWH: Because your heart is lifted up, and you say, ‘I [am] a god; I sit in the seat of gods, in the midst of the seas,’ and you [are] a man and not a god, and you give your heart as the heart of a god,
Ezekiel 28:3	behold, you [are] wiser than Daniel—anything hidden is not in the dark for you!
Ezekiel 28:4	With your wisdom and with your understanding you have made for yourself wealth, and you have made gold and silver in your treasuries.
Ezekiel 28:5	By the abundance of your wisdom in trading you have increased your wealth, and your heart is lifted high in your wealth.
Ezekiel 28:6	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Because you have given your heart as the heart of a god,
Ezekiel 28:7	therefore, behold, I am bringing upon you strangers, the ruthless of the nations! And they will draw out their swords against the beauty of your wisdom, and they will defile your splendor.
Ezekiel 28:8	They bring you down into the Pit, and you will die the death of the slain in the midst of the seas!
Ezekiel 28:9	Will you really say, ‘I [am] a god,’ before the face of the One slaying you and you [are] a man and not a god in the hand of the One slaying you?
Ezekiel 28:10	You will die the death of the uncircumcised, by the hand of strangers. For I have spoken, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 28:11	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 28:12	“Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty!
Ezekiel 28:13	You were in Eden, the garden of God, [with] every precious stone your covering—ruby, topaz, and diamond; beryl, onyx, and jasper; sapphire, turquoise, and emerald; and of gold [was] the workmanship of your timbrels and pipes, established for you on the day of your creation.
Ezekiel 28:14	You [were] a cherub anointed as a guardian, and I set you on the mountain of the holiness of God; you were in the midst of the stones of fire; you walked about.
Ezekiel 28:15	Perfect you [were] in your ways from the day you were created, until iniquity was found in you.
Ezekiel 28:16	With the abundance of your trading, your midst became filled with violence, and you sinned; and I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I made you depart, O guardian cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel 28:17	Your heart was lifted up in your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor! Upon the ground I cast you; before the faces of kings I set you that they might gaze at you.
Ezekiel 28:18	By the multitude of your iniquities, with the injustice of your trading, you have profaned your holy places. And I have brought forth fire from your midst; it has devoured you, and I have given you to ashes upon the earth, before the eyes of all those looking at you!
Ezekiel 28:19	All knowing you among the peoples are appalled over you; you have become a horror, and you will be no more, even to forever!’”
Ezekiel 28:20	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 28:21	“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against her.
Ezekiel 28:22	And say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I [am] against you, O Sidon, and I will be glorified in your midst; and they will know that I [am] YHWH, in my making judgments against her, and I display My holiness against her.
Ezekiel 28:23	For I will send against her pestilence, and blood in her streets; and the slain will fall in her midst, by the sword against her on every side—and they will know that I [am] YHWH!
Ezekiel 28:24	And there will be no longer for the house of Israel a brier bringing malice or a thorn giving pain from all those around them [who] despise them; and they will know that I [am] the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 28:25	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘In My gathering the house of Israel from the peoples, among whom they are scattered, and I will show Myself holy among them before the eyes of the nations, and they will dwell in their own land that I gave to My servant Jacob.
Ezekiel 28:26	And they will dwell upon it in safety, and they will build houses and plant vineyards, and they will dwell in safety, with My making judgments against all those despising them from around them. And they will know that I [am] YHWH their God.’”
Ezekiel 29:1	In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 29:2	“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against all Egypt.
Ezekiel 29:3	Speak and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Pharaoh king of Egypt, O great monster stretching out in the midst of his rivers, who has said, ‘Unto me [is] my River, and I—have made [it] for myself!’
Ezekiel 29:4	And I will put hooks in your jaws, and the fish of your rivers I will cause to cling on your scales; and I will bring you up from the midst of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers to your scales will cling.
Ezekiel 29:5	And I will leave you in the desert—you and all the fish of your rivers; you will fall on the face of the ground, [and] you will not be gathered up and you will not be gathered together, for the beasts of the land and for the birds of the heavens I will give you as food!
Ezekiel 29:6	And all those dwelling in Egypt will know that I [am] YHWH, because they have been a staff of a reed to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 29:7	In their grabbing hold of you with the hand, you broke and would tear every shoulder of theirs; and in their leaning on you, you broke and wrenched all their backs.
Ezekiel 29:8	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I am bringing upon you a sword, and I will cut off from you man and beast.
Ezekiel 29:9	And the land of Egypt will become a desolation and a ruin, and they will know that I [am] YHWH. Because he said, ‘The River [is] unto me, and I have made [it],’
Ezekiel 29:10	therefore, behold, I [am] against you and against your rivers, and I will give the land of Egypt as a ruin, a desolate wasteland, from Migdol [to] Syene and to the border of Cush.
Ezekiel 29:11	The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of beast will not pass through it, and it will not be inhabited forty years.
Ezekiel 29:12	And I will give the land of Egypt to [be] a desolation in the midst of desolate lands, and her cities, in the midst of the cities laid waste, will be a desolation forty years; and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
Ezekiel 29:13	For thus says the Lord YHWH: At the end of forty years I will gather Egypt from the peoples among whom they were scattered there,
Ezekiel 29:14	and I will turn back the captivity of Egypt, and will return them [to] the land of Pathros, to the land of their origin; and there they will be a lowly kingdom.
Ezekiel 29:15	It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and it will not lift itself again over the nations—and I will diminish them; they will no longer rule over the nations.
Ezekiel 29:16	And it will be no longer the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to mind the iniquity in their turning after them; and they will know that I [am] the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 29:17	And it came to pass, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 29:18	“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused to labor his army [with] great labor against Tyre—every head having been made bald and every shoulder rubbed bare. And wages did not were unto him and unto his army from Tyre for the labor [with] which they labored over it.
Ezekiel 29:19	Therefore thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon the land of Egypt; and he will carry away her wealth, and he will draw out her plunder, and he will spoil her loot—and it will be the wages for his army.
Ezekiel 29:20	[As] his wage that he has labored over, I have given to him the land of Egypt, because they worked for Me, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 29:21	On that day I will cause to spring forth a horn for the house of Israel, and unto you I will give an opening of your mouth in their midst, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 30:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 30:2	“Son of man, prophesy and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Wail, alas, for the day!’
Ezekiel 30:3	For near [is] the day, near [is] the day of YHWH—a day of clouds, a time of the nations it will be!
Ezekiel 30:4	And a sword will come against Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush at the falling of the slain in Egypt, and they will take away her wealth, and they will tear down her foundations.
Ezekiel 30:5	Cush, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixture, and libya, and the sons of the land of the covenant, they will fall with them by the sword.
Ezekiel 30:6	Thus says YHWH: And will fall those upholding Egypt, and will come down the pride of her strength; from Migdol [to] Syene, they will fall by the sword within her, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 30:7	And they will be desolate in the midst of desolate lands, and her cities will be in the midst of the cities laid waste.
Ezekiel 30:8	And they will know that I [am] YHWH, in My giving forth a fire in Egypt, so that are broken all her helpers.
Ezekiel 30:9	On that day messengers will go forth from before My face in ships, to make tremble the confident Cush, and there will be anguish among them, as on the day of Egypt, for behold, it is coming!
Ezekiel 30:10	Thus says the Lord YHWH: The wealth of Egypt I will bring to an end by the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
Ezekiel 30:11	He and his people with him, the [most] ruthless of the nations, will be brought to destroy the land; and they will draw out their swords against Egypt, and they will fill the land [with] the slain.
Ezekiel 30:12	I will make the rivers into dry ground, and will sell the land into the hand of the wicked; I will make desolate the land and its fullness by the hand of strangers. I, YHWH, have spoken.
Ezekiel 30:13	Thus says the Lord YHWH: And I will destroy the idols, and I will put end to the images from Memphis; and a prince from the land of Egypt will be no more, and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 30:14	And Pathros I will make desolate, and I will give forth fire against Zoan, and I will make judgments on Thebes.
Ezekiel 30:15	And I will pour out My fury on Pelusium, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the crowd of Thebes.
Ezekiel 30:16	And I will give forth a fire in Egypt, Pelusium will writhe in anguish, and Thebes will be split open, and Memphis [has] daily distress.
Ezekiel 30:17	The young men of On and Pi-Beseth will fall by the sword, and they will go into captivity.
Ezekiel 30:18	And at Tahpanhes will be held back the day, in my breaking there the yoke of Egypt, and will cease in her the pride of her strength; [as for] her, a cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
Ezekiel 30:19	And I will make judgments against Egypt, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 30:20	And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, [that] the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 30:21	“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, to put a bandage to bind it, for strength to hold the sword.
Ezekiel 30:22	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, the strong one and the broken one, and I will make the sword fall from his hand.
Ezekiel 30:23	And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and I will scatter them among the lands.
Ezekiel 30:24	And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and I will put My sword in his hand. And I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he will groan the groans of a wounded one before him.
Ezekiel 30:25	And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh will fall down. And they will know that I [am] YHWH in My putting My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will stretch it out against the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 30:26	And I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will scatter them among the lands, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 31:1	And it came to pass, in the eleventh year, in the third [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 31:2	“Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: ‘To whom do you compare your greatness?
Ezekiel 31:3	Behold, Assyria [was] a cedar in Lebanon, beautiful of branches and giving shade to the forest and high of stature, and among the clouds was its top.
Ezekiel 31:4	The waters made it grow, the deep gave it height with her rivers running around the place of her planting, and her conduits she sent out to all the trees of the field.
Ezekiel 31:5	Upon thus its height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long from the abundant waters in its sending forth.
Ezekiel 31:6	In its boughs made their nests all the birds of the heavens, and under its branches gave birth all the beasts of the field, and in its shade dwelt all the great nations.
Ezekiel 31:7	And it was beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches, because its root was to abundant waters.
Ezekiel 31:8	The cedars could not darken it in the garden of God; the fir trees were not like unto its boughs, and the plane trees were not like its branches; there was no tree in the garden of God, not [any] like it in its beauty.
Ezekiel 31:9	Beautiful I made it with an abundance of branches, and envied all the trees of Eden that [were] in the garden of God.’
Ezekiel 31:10	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Because that you became great in height, and it set its top to among the thick boughs, and was lifted up its heart in its height,
Ezekiel 31:11	so I will give it into the hand of the mighty one of the nations, and he will deal severely with it according to its wickedness! I have driven it out,
Ezekiel 31:12	and foreigners have cut it down, the most ruthless of the nations. And they have left it on the mountains, and in all the valleys its branches have fallen, and its boughs lie broken by all the rivers of the land. And all the peoples of the earth have gone out from its shade, and they have left it.
Ezekiel 31:13	On its carcass will dwell all the birds of the heavens, and on its branches will be all the beasts of the field,
Ezekiel 31:14	in order that not any trees by the waters will exalt in their height, and they will not give their tops to among the thick boughs. All those drinking from the waters should not reach their oaks to their height, for they all have been given to death, to the land [far] below, in the midst of the sons of men, with those going down [to] the Pit.’
Ezekiel 31:15	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘On the day of its going down to Sheol, I caused mourning; I covered over it the deep, and I held back its rivers, and were cut off the great waters; and Lebanon I caused to mourn over it, and all the trees of the field fainted because of it.
Ezekiel 31:16	At the sound of its fall, I made the nations quake, in My casting it down to Sheol together with those going down [to] the Pit. And were comforted in the land below all the trees of Eden, the choicest and best of Lebanon, all those drinking the waters.
Ezekiel 31:17	They also went down with it to Sheol, with those slain by the sword—and its arm who had dwelt in its shade in the midst of nations.
Ezekiel 31:18	To whom, then, will you be compared, in glory and in greatness, among the trees in Eden? You also will be brought down with the trees of Eden to the land below; in the midst of the uncircumcised you will lie, with those slain by the sword. That [is] Pharaoh and all his multitude, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 32:1	And it came to pass, in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first of the month, [that] the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 32:2	“Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say to him: ‘To a young lion of the nations you may be compared, and you [are] like the monster in the seas. You burst forth in your rivers and you stir up the waters with your feet, and you muddy their rivers.’
Ezekiel 32:3	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘And I will spread over you My net with a throng of many peoples, and they will draw you up in My net.
Ezekiel 32:4	And I will leave you on the land; upon the face of the field I will throw you, and I will make dwell upon you all the birds of the heavens, and I will give the fill of you [to] the beasts of all the earth.
Ezekiel 32:5	And I will lay your flesh upon the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your remains.
Ezekiel 32:6	And I will water the land with the flow of your blood, up to the mountains, and the ravines will be full of you.
Ezekiel 32:7	And in My quenching of you I will cover the heavens, and I will make dark their stars; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon will not radiate her light.
Ezekiel 32:8	All luminaries of light in the heavens I will make dark because of you, and I will put darkness over your land,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 32:9	‘And I will trouble the hearts of many peoples, in My bringing your destruction among the nations, over lands that you have not known.
Ezekiel 32:10	And many peoples I will cause to be appalled over you, and their kings will shudder over you [with] shuddering, in My making fly My sword in front of their faces; and they will tremble at every moment, each man for his soul, on the day of your fall!’
Ezekiel 32:11	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you.
Ezekiel 32:12	By the swords of mighty ones your multitude I will cause to fall—the most ruthless of nations, all of them. And they will plunder the pride of Egypt, and all will be destroyed her multitude.
Ezekiel 32:13	And I will destroy all her animals from beside her great waters; and no foot of man will stir them up anymore, and the hooves of animals will not stir them up.
Ezekiel 32:14	Then their waters I will let settle, and their rivers I will make run like oil,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 32:15	‘In My making the land of Egypt a desolation, and the land being desolate of its fullness, in My striking all those dwelling in it, they will know that I [am] YHWH!’
Ezekiel 32:16	It [is] a lamentation they will lament her; the daughters of the nations will lament her, over Egypt and over all her multitude, they will lament her, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 32:17	And it came to pass, in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth of the month, that the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 32:18	“Son of man, wail over the multitude of Egypt, and send it down—her and the daughters of the mighty nations—to the land below, with those going down to the Pit.
Ezekiel 32:19	Whom are you pleasing? Go down, and lie down with the uncircumcised!
Ezekiel 32:20	In the midst of those slain by the sword they will fall; [to] the sword she is given—let her be dragged away and all her multitudes.
Ezekiel 32:21	The chiefs of the mighty ones will speak concerning him from the midst of Sheol, with his helpers: ‘They have gone down, they have lain down with the uncircumcised, those slain by the sword.’
Ezekiel 32:22	There [is] Assyria and all her throng surrounding it with its graves, all of them slain, having fallen by the sword,
Ezekiel 32:23	of whom her graves are appointed in the far sides of the Pit; and her assembly is all around her grave, all of them slain, having fallen by the sword, those who gave forth terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:24	There [is] Elam and all her multitude, surrounding her grave, all of them slain, having fallen by the sword, those who have gone down uncircumcised to the land below, those who gave forth their terror in the land of the living; and they bear their shame with those going down [to] the Pit.
Ezekiel 32:25	In the midst of the slain they set a bed for her, with all her multitude all around it with her graves, all of them uncircumcised slain by the sword. Though their terror was given forth in the land of the living, they bear their shame with those going down [to] the Pit; in the midst of the slain they are placed.
Ezekiel 32:26	There [are] Meshech and Tubal, and all her multitude around it with her graves, all of them uncircumcised slain by the sword, though they gave forth their terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:27	And they lie down, not with the mighty ones, those having fallen of old, who have gone down [to] Sheol with their weapons of war; and they have laid their swords under their heads, and their shields will be upon their bones, for the terror of the mighty ones in the land of the living.
Ezekiel 32:28	And you, in the midst of the uncircumcised, you will be broken, and you will lie with those slain by the sword.
Ezekiel 32:29	There [is] Edom—her kings, and all her princes, who were given in their strength among those slain by the sword; they will lie down with the uncircumcised, and with those going down to the Pit.
Ezekiel 32:30	There [are] the princes of the north, all of them and every Sidonian, those who have gone down ashamed with the slain, with their terror by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, and they must bear their shame with those going down [to] the Pit.
Ezekiel 32:31	Them Pharaoh will see, and he will be comforted over all his multitude slain by the sword—Pharaoh and all his force—a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 32:32	For I give forth My terror in the land of the living, and he will be made to lie down in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword—Pharaoh and all his throng—a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 33:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 33:2	“Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and say to them: ‘A land, when I bring upon it the sword, and the people of the land take a single man from their borders and set him to them as watchman,
Ezekiel 33:3	and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and he blows on the shofar and warns the people,
Ezekiel 33:4	then if anyone at all hears the voice of the shofar and has not heeded the warning, when the sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his head.
Ezekiel 33:5	He heard the voice of the shofar and he did not heed the warning; his blood will be upon himself. And he [who] has heeded the warning has saved his soul.
Ezekiel 33:6	And the watchman, if he sees the sword coming and does not blow on the shofar, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes from among them a soul, he will be taken away in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from the hand of the watchman.’
Ezekiel 33:7	And you, O son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, and you will hear a word from My mouth, and you will give a warning [to] them from Me.
Ezekiel 33:8	In My saying to the wicked, ‘O wicked one, you will surely die,’ [if] you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, [then] that wicked one will die in his iniquity, and I will seek his blood from your hand.
Ezekiel 33:9	And you, if if you warn the wicked from his way, to turn from it, and he does not turn from his way, [then] he will die in his iniquity, and you will have delivered your soul.
Ezekiel 33:10	Now you, son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you⁺ have spoken, saying, ‘Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] upon us, and in them we rot away! How then can we live?’
Ezekiel 33:11	Say to them: ‘[As] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, I have no delight in the death of the wicked, but only in turning the wicked from his way that he should live. Turn back, turn back from your⁺ evil ways! For why should you⁺ die, O house of Israel?’
Ezekiel 33:12	And you, son of man, say to the sons of your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not snatch him up in the day of his transgression, and the wickedness of the wicked will not cause him to stumble because of it in the day of his turning from his wickedness. And the righteous one will not be able to live by it in the day of his sinning.’
Ezekiel 33:13	In My saying to the righteous, ‘He will surely live,’ and he trusts in his righteousness and does iniquity, all his righteousnesses will not be remembered; and because of the iniquity that he did, by it he will die.
Ezekiel 33:14	And in My saying to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right,
Ezekiel 33:15	[if] a wicked one restores a pledge for what he has stolen, makes restitution in the statutes of life, [and] he walks without doing iniquity, he will surely live; he will not die.
Ezekiel 33:16	All his sins that he had sinned, they will not be remembered for him; what is just and right he has done; he will surely live.
Ezekiel 33:17	And the sons of your people may say, ‘The way of the Lord is not balanced.’ And they—their way is not balanced.
Ezekiel 33:18	In the turning of the righteous from his righteousness, and he has done iniquity, he will die because of it.
Ezekiel 33:19	And in the turning of the wicked from his wickedness, and he has done what is just and righteous, because of it he will live.
Ezekiel 33:20	And you⁺ say, ‘The way of the Lord is not balanced!’ Each man—according to his ways will I judge you⁺, O house of Israel.”
Ezekiel 33:21	And it came to pass, in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth [month], on the fifth of the month, [that] an escapee came to me from Jerusalem, and he said, “The city has been struck!”
Ezekiel 33:22	And the hand of YHWH had been upon me in the evening, before the coming of the escapee, and He had opened my mouth until [his] coming to me in the morning, and my mouth was opened, and I was not mute any longer.
Ezekiel 33:23	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 33:24	“Son of man, those dwelling in these ruins in the land of Israel are speaking, saying: ‘Abraham was one, and he possessed the land; and we [are] many—to us the land has been given as a possession!’
Ezekiel 33:25	Therefore say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘You⁺ eat that with the blood, and you⁺ lift up your⁺ eyes toward your⁺ idols, and you⁺ pour out blood—and you⁺ would possess the land?
Ezekiel 33:26	You⁺ rely on your⁺ sword, you⁺ commit abominations, and each man defiles the wife of his neighbor—and you⁺ would possess the land?’
Ezekiel 33:27	Thus you shall say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘[As] I live, surely those who [are] in the ruins will fall by the sword, and the one who [is] upon the face of the field I will give to the beasts to eat him, and those who [are] in the strongholds and in the caves will die by the pestilence.
Ezekiel 33:28	And I will give the land as a desolation and a horror, and will cease the pride of its strength, and the mountains of Israel will be desolate, with no one passing through!
Ezekiel 33:29	And they will know that I [am] YHWH, in My giving the land as a desolation and a horror, because of all their abominations that they have done.’
Ezekiel 33:30	And you, son of man, the sons of your people are speaking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses, and they speak one to to another, a man to his brother, saying: ‘Come, now, and hear what [is] the word coming forth from YHWH.’
Ezekiel 33:31	And they come to you, like the coming of people, and they sit before you—My people, and they hear your words, and they will not do them; for they do loves with their mouth; their heart is pursuing after dishonest gain.
Ezekiel 33:32	And behold, you [are] to them as a song of loves, one beautiful of voice, and playing well on a stringed instrument; for they hear your words, and nthey do ot do them.
Ezekiel 33:33	And in the coming of this—[and] behold, it is coming—they will know that a prophet has been in their midst.”
Ezekiel 34:1	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 34:2	“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to them—to the shepherds—thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Woe to the shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves. Should [it] not [be] [that] the shepherds shepherd the flock?
Ezekiel 34:3	You⁺ eat the fat and in wool you⁺ clothe yourselves; you⁺ slaughter the fatlings; you⁺ do not feed the flock.
Ezekiel 34:4	Those being weak you⁺ have not strengthened, and those being sick you⁺ have not healed, and those being broken you⁺ have not bandaged, and those driven off you⁺ have not returned, and those being lost you⁺ have not sought, and you⁺ have ruled them with force and with harshness.
Ezekiel 34:5	And they were scattered for lack of a shepherd, and they became as food for all the beasts of the field; indeed, they were scattered.
Ezekiel 34:6	My flock went astray through all the mountains, and on every high hill; and My flock was scattered over all the face of the earth, and there was not one searching or seeking [them].’
Ezekiel 34:7	Therefore, shepherds, hear the word of YHWH!
Ezekiel 34:8	‘[As] I live—a declaration of the Lord YHWH—surely because My flock became as prey, and My flock became as food for every beast of the field, for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search [for] My flock, and the shepherds shepherded themselves, and My flock they did not feed.
Ezekiel 34:9	Therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of YHWH:
Ezekiel 34:10	Thus says the Lord YHWH, ‘Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, and I will require My flock from their hands, and I will make them cease from shepherding the sheep, and the shepherds no longer will shepherd themselves; for I will snatch My flock from their mouths, and they will not be for them as food.’
Ezekiel 34:11	For thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I—I Myself—will search for My flock, and I will seek them.
Ezekiel 34:12	As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day of his being in the midst of his sheep [that] are scattered, so will I seek out My flock, and I will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered there on the day of cloud and darkness.
Ezekiel 34:13	And I will bring them out from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them to their own land, and I will let them graze on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the inhabited places of the land.
Ezekiel 34:14	I will feed them in good pasture, and on the mountains of the height of Israel will be their grazing land; there they will lie down in good grazing land, and they will feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 34:15	I will feed My flock, and I will make them lie down, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 34:16	The one being lost I will seek, and the one driven away I will return, and the broken I will bind up, and the one being sick I will strengthen, and the fat one and the strong one I will destroy; I will shepherd her with justice.’
Ezekiel 34:17	And you⁺, My flock, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am going to judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the goats.
Ezekiel 34:18	[Is it] a little thing for you⁺ to feed on the good pasture, that the remainder of your⁺ pasture-land you⁺ would trample with your⁺ feet? And the clear waters you⁺ drink, that that the remainder you⁺ would muddy with your⁺ feet?
Ezekiel 34:19	And My flock, they feed on what you have trampled with your⁺ feet, and they drink what you have muddied with your⁺ feet!’
Ezekiel 34:20	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH to them: ‘Behold, I—I Myself—will judge between the fat of the flock and between the lean of the flock.
Ezekiel 34:21	Because you⁺ have pushed with flank and shoulder, and you⁺ have thrust with your⁺ horns all the weak ones, until that you⁺ have scattered them to the outside,
Ezekiel 34:22	I will bring salvation to My flock, and will they be no longer for prey; and I will judge between a sheep and a sheep.
Ezekiel 34:23	And I will raise up over them one shepherd, My servant David, and he will feed them—He will feed them and he will be unto them as shepherd.
Ezekiel 34:24	And I, YHWH, will be unto them God, and My servant David a prince in their midst. I, YHWH, have spoken.
Ezekiel 34:25	And I will cut with them a covenant of peace, and the evil beast I will make cease from the land, and they will dwell in the wilderness in safety, and they will sleep in the forests.
Ezekiel 34:26	And I will make them and the places around My hill [to be] a blessing, and I will send down showers in their season; there will be showers of blessing.
Ezekiel 34:27	And the trees of the field will give forth their fruit, and the earth will give forth her produce, and they will be upon their land in safety; and they will know that I [am] YHWH, when I have broken the bands of their yoke and delivered them from the hand of those enslaving them.
Ezekiel 34:28	And they will be no longer as prey for the nations, and the beasts of the land will not devour them; and they will dwell in safety, and no one will frighten them.
Ezekiel 34:29	And I will raise up for them a planting of renown, and will they be no longer consumed by hunger in the land, and they will bear no more the shame of the nations!
Ezekiel 34:30	And they will know that I, YHWH their God, [am] with them, and they [are] the house of Israel, My people,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 34:31	‘And you⁺ [are] My flock, the flock of My pasture. You⁺ [are] men, I [am] your⁺ God,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 35:1	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 35:2	“Son of man, set your face against Mount Seir, and prophesy against it.
Ezekiel 35:3	And say to it, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make you a desolation and a waste.
Ezekiel 35:4	I will make your cities a ruin, and you will become a desolation. And you will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 35:5	Because there has been for you an ancient hatred and you have poured out the sons of Israel upon the hands of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of the iniquity of the end,
Ezekiel 35:6	therefore, [as] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, now unto blood I appoint you, and blood will pursue you; since you did not hate blood, blood will pursue you.
Ezekiel 35:7	And I will make Mount Seir into an utter desolation, and I will cut off from it the one passing by and the one returning.
Ezekiel 35:8	And I will fill its mountains with the slain. On your hills, and in your valleys, and in all your ravines, those slain by the sword will fall in them.
Ezekiel 35:9	I will make you a desolation forever, and your cities will not be inhabited. You⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 35:10	Because you have said, ‘The two nations and the two lands will be unto me, and we will possess them,’ and YHWH has been there,
Ezekiel 35:11	therefore, [as] I live, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, I will do according to your anger, and according to the jealousy [with] which you acted in your hatred against them, and I will make Myself known among them when I judge you.
Ezekiel 35:12	And you will know that I [am] YHWH. I have heard all your despisings that you have said about the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are desolate; they are given to us for food.’
Ezekiel 35:13	Thus you⁺ have boasted against Me with your⁺ mouth, and you⁺ have multiplied against Me your⁺ words—I have heard it Myself.
Ezekiel 35:14	Thus says the Lord YHWH: According to the rejoicing of all the earth, I will make for you a desolation.
Ezekiel 35:15	According to your rejoicing at the inheritance of the house of Israel, upon that it has become desolate, so will I do to you! You will become a desolation, O Mount Seir, and all of Edom—all of it—and they will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 36:1	[“] And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of YHWH!
Ezekiel 36:2	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Because the enemy has said of you⁺, ‘Aha, the heights of old have become as a possession unto us,’
Ezekiel 36:3	therefore prophesy and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: Because, even because of making [you⁺] desolate and swallowing you⁺ up from all around for your⁺ being the possession of the rest of the nations, and you⁺ were taken up on the lip of the tongue in slander of the people,
Ezekiel 36:4	therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord YHWH, thus says the Lord YHWH to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, and to the desolate ruins, and to the abandoned cities that became as plunder and as derision to the rest of the nations that [are] all around,
Ezekiel 36:5	therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Surely in the burning of My jealousy [that] I have spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom—all those who gave My land to themselves as a possession, with joy in all of the heart, [and] with scorn in the soul, in order to graze upon it as prey.
Ezekiel 36:6	Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I, in My jealousy and in My fury, have spoken, because you⁺ have carried the shame of the nations.
Ezekiel 36:7	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: I—I have lifted up My hand [that] surely the nations that [are] surrounding you⁺, they will bear their own shame!
Ezekiel 36:8	And you⁺, O mountains of Israel, your⁺ branches you⁺ will give forth, and your⁺ fruit you⁺ will bear for My people Israel, for they are soon to come in!
Ezekiel 36:9	For behold, I [am] toward you⁺, and I will turn to you⁺, and you⁺ will be tilled and sown.
Ezekiel 36:10	And I will multiply upon you⁺ man—all the house of Israel, all of it—and the cities will be inhabited, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
Ezekiel 36:11	And I will multiply upon you⁺ man and beast, and they will multiply and will be fruitful; and I will make you⁺ inhabited as of old, and I will make you⁺ prosper more than before, and you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 36:12	And I will cause man to walk over you⁺—My people Israel—they will possess you, and you will be unto them as an inheritance, and you will no more bereave them.
Ezekiel 36:13	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Because of their saying to you⁺, ‘You are devouring man, and you are bereaving your nations!’
Ezekiel 36:14	Therefore man you will devour no more, and your nations you will not bereave any longer, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 36:15	And I will not let you hear anymore the taunt of the nations, and the reproach of the peoples you will bear no more, and your nation will be made to stumble no longer, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 36:16	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 36:17	“Son of man, the house of Israel were dwelling in their own land, and they defiled it by their ways and by their deeds; like the uncleanness of a [woman’s] impurity was their way before My face.
Ezekiel 36:18	And I poured out My fury upon them for the blood that they had poured out upon the land and because they had defiled her with their idols.
Ezekiel 36:19	And I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered among the lands; according to their ways and according to their deeds I judged them.
Ezekiel 36:20	And they came to the nations, [to] which they came there, and they profaned name of My holiness by saying to them, ‘These [are] the people of YHWH, and from His land they have gone out!’
Ezekiel 36:21	And I had pity for the name of My holiness, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they had gone in there.
Ezekiel 36:22	Therefore say to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: [It is] not for your⁺ sake [that] I am doing [this], O house of Israel, for but the name of My holiness, which you⁺ have profaned among the nations to which you⁺ have gone in there.
Ezekiel 36:23	And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you⁺ have profaned in their midst, and the nations will know that I [am] YHWH, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, in My showing [My] holiness in you⁺ before their eyes.
Ezekiel 36:24	For I will take you⁺ from the nations, and I will gather you⁺ from all of the lands, and I will bring you⁺ into your⁺ own land.
Ezekiel 36:25	And I will sprinkle on you⁺ pure water, and you⁺ will be pure from all your⁺ uncleannesses, and from all your⁺ idols I will purify you⁺.
Ezekiel 36:26	And I will give to you⁺ a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you⁺; and I will take away the heart of stone from your⁺ flesh, and I will give to you⁺ a heart of flesh.
Ezekiel 36:27	And My Spirit I will put within you⁺, and I will make [it] that you⁺ will walk in My statutes and My ordinances you⁺ will keep and you⁺ will do [them].
Ezekiel 36:28	And you⁺ will dwell in the land that I gave to your⁺ fathers and you⁺ will be unto Me a people, and I will be unto you⁺ God.
Ezekiel 36:29	And I will deliver you⁺ from all your⁺ uncleannesses, and I will call for the grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not put famine upon you⁺.
Ezekiel 36:30	And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you⁺ will no longer receive the reproach of famine among the nations.
Ezekiel 36:31	And you⁺ will remember your⁺ evil ways and your⁺ deeds that [were] not good, and you⁺ will loathe in your⁺ faces over your⁺ iniquities and over your⁺ abominations.
Ezekiel 36:32	[It is] not for your⁺ sake [that] I am doing [this], a declaration of the Lord YHWH, let it be known to you⁺. Be ashamed and disgraced for your⁺ ways, O house of Israel!
Ezekiel 36:33	Thus says the Lord YHWH: On the day of My cleansing you⁺ from all your⁺ iniquities, I will make you dwell in the cities, and the ruins will be rebuilt.
Ezekiel 36:34	And the land that was desolate will be tilled, instead of that it has been a desolation before the eyes of all passing by.
Ezekiel 36:35	And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the ruined cities, desolate and overthrown, [are] fortified [and] they are inhabited.’
Ezekiel 36:36	And the nations that remain all around you⁺ will know that I, YHWH, have rebuilt the ruins, [and] I have replanted what was desolate. I, YHWH, have spoken, and I will do [it].
Ezekiel 36:37	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Again [in] this I will be sought out by the house of Israel, to do [this] for them; I will increase them like a flock of people.
Ezekiel 36:38	Like a flock of consecration, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast s, so the ruined cities will be filled with a flock of people. And they will know that I [am] YHWH.”
Ezekiel 37:1	And the hand of YHWH came upon me, and He brought me out in the Spirit of YHWH, and He set me down in the midst of the valley; and it [was] full of bones.
Ezekiel 37:2	And He caused me to pass among them all around, and behold, very many [were] upon the face of the valley; and behold, [they were] very dry.
Ezekiel 37:3	And He said to me: “Son of man, Can these bones live?” And I said, “O Lord YHWH, You know.”
Ezekiel 37:4	And He said to me: “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of YHWH!
Ezekiel 37:5	Thus says the Lord YHWH to these bones: Behold, I am causing to enter into you⁺ breath, and you⁺ will live.
Ezekiel 37:6	And I will put upon you⁺ sinews, and I will bring up flesh over you⁺, and I will cover over you⁺ with skin; and I will put within you⁺ breath, and you⁺ will live. And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 37:7	And I prophesied as I had been commanded. And there was a noise at my prophesying, and behold, a shaking, and the bones drew together, bone to bone.
Ezekiel 37:8	And I looked, and behold, upon them [were] sinews, and flesh came up and skin covered over them above it, and [there was] no breath in them.
Ezekiel 37:9	And He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, thus says the Lord YHWH: From the four winds come, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.”
Ezekiel 37:10	And I prophesied as He had commanded me. And the breath came into them, and they lived; and they stood on their feet—an exceedingly greatly great army.
Ezekiel 37:11	And He said to me, “Son of man, these bones, they [are] the whole the house of Israel. Behold, they are saying, ‘Our bones have dried up and our hope has perished; we have been cut off by ourselves.’
Ezekiel 37:12	Therefore prophesy and say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am opening your⁺ graves, and I will bring you⁺ up from your⁺ graves, O My people, and I will bring you⁺ into the land of Israel.
Ezekiel 37:13	And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH, in My opening your⁺ graves, and in My bringing you⁺ up from your⁺ graves, O My people.
Ezekiel 37:14	And I will put My Spirit in you⁺, and you⁺ will live; and I will settle you⁺ in your⁺ own land. And you⁺ will know that I, YHWH, have spoken, and I have done [it], a declaration of YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 37:15	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Ezekiel 37:16	“And you, son of man, take for yourself one stick, and write on it, ‘For Judah and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ And take one stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’
Ezekiel 37:17	And join them one to one for yourself into one stick, and they will become as one in your hand.
Ezekiel 37:18	And when the sons of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show to us what these [are] to you??’
Ezekiel 37:19	Say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I I am taking the stick of Joseph, which [is] in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions, and I will join them upon it with the stick of Judah, and I will make them one stick; and they will become one in My hand.’
Ezekiel 37:20	And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
Ezekiel 37:21	And you shall say to them, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Behold, I am taking the sons of Israel from the nations to which they have gone there, and I will gather them from all around, and I will bring them into their own land.
Ezekiel 37:22	And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be over them all as king; and will they be no longer as two nations, and they will not be divided anymore as two kingdoms again.
Ezekiel 37:23	And they will not defile themselves anymore with their idols, and with their abominations, and with all their transgressions; and I will save them from all their apostasies in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them; and they will be unto Me as a people, and I will be unto them as God.
Ezekiel 37:24	And My servant David [shall be] king over them, and there will be one shepherd over them all; and in My ordinances they will walk, and My statutes they will keep, and they will do them.
Ezekiel 37:25	And they will dwell in the land that I have given to My servant, to Jacob, where your⁺ fathers dwelt in it; and they will dwell upon it, they and their children, and the children of their children, even to forever; and David My servant [shall be] the prince for them forever.
Ezekiel 37:26	And I will cut with them a covenant of peace; it will be covenant with them forever; and I will establish them, and I will multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever.
Ezekiel 37:27	And My dwelling place will be with them, and I will be unto them God, and they will be unto Me for a people.
Ezekiel 37:28	And the nations will know that I, YHWH, am sanctifying Israel, when My sanctuary comes to be in their midst forever.’”
Ezekiel 38:1	And the word came of YHWH to me, saying:
Ezekiel 38:2	“Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Ezekiel 38:3	and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal!
Ezekiel 38:4	And I will turn you around, and I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will bring you out and all your army—horses and horsemen, all clothed in perfection, a great company, [with] bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
Ezekiel 38:5	Persia, Cush, and Libya [are] with them, all of them [with] shield and helmet.
Ezekiel 38:6	Gomer and all her troops, the house of Togarmah from the extremities of the north, and all his troops—many peoples [are] with you.
Ezekiel 38:7	Ready yourself, and be ready yourself—you and all your company gathered around you—and be unto them as a guard.
Ezekiel 38:8	After many days you will be mustered; in the latter years, you will come into a land having returned from the sword, having been gathered from many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which had been continually as a desolation. From the nations it has been brought out, and they will dwell in safety, all of them.
Ezekiel 38:9	And you will come up, like a storm you will come in, like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your troops, and many peoples with you.
Ezekiel 38:10	Thus says the Lord YHWH: And it will come to pass on that day, [that] will come up thoughts upon your heart, and you will devise an evil plan.
Ezekiel 38:11	And you will say, ‘I will go up against a land of unwalled villages, I will go in to those living quietly, dwelling in security—all of them dwelling with no walls, and bars and gates not unto them—
Ezekiel 38:12	to draw out the plunder and to prey [on] the prey, to stretch out my hand against the desolate places now inhabited, and against a people gathered from the nations, having gained livestock and possessions, dwelling in the center of the land.’
Ezekiel 38:13	Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all her villages, will say to you, ‘Have you come to draw out the plunder? Is it to prey on prey [that] you have assembled your company—to carry [off] silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to draw out great plunder?’
Ezekiel 38:14	Therefore, prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog—thus says the Lord YHWH: On that day, with the dwelling of My people Israel in safety, will you not know [it]?
Ezekiel 38:15	And you will come from your place, from the extremities of the north, you and many peoples with you, riding on horses all of them, a great company, and a numerous army.
Ezekiel 38:16	And you will come up against My people Israel, like a cloud to cover the land. In the latter days it will come to pass that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, in My showing [My] holiness in you before their eyes, O Gog!
Ezekiel 38:17	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants, the prophets of Israel, those having prophesied in those days, [for] years, of My bringing you against them?
Ezekiel 38:18	And it will come to pass in that day [that] in the day of the coming of Gog against the land of Israel, says the Lord YHWH, My fury of My nose will rise up.
Ezekiel 38:19	And in My zeal [and] in the fire of My wrath, I have spoken: Surely in that day [that] there will be a great shaking upon the land of Israel,
Ezekiel 38:20	and they will shake before My face—the fish of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field, and every creeping [thing] that creeps upon the earth, and every man who [is] on the face of the earth. And the mountains will be thrown down, and the steep places will fall, and every wall will fall to the ground.
Ezekiel 38:21	And I will call for a sword against him on all My mountains, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, [and] the sword of each man will be against his brother.
Ezekiel 38:22	And I will bring judgment [on] him with pestilence and with blood, and flooding rain and stones of hail. I will rain down fire and brimstone on him, and on his troops, and on the many peoples who [are] with him.
Ezekiel 38:23	And I will magnify Myself, and will sanctify Myself, and I will make Myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:1	[“] And you, son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, thus says the Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.
Ezekiel 39:2	And I will turn you around, and will lead you on, and I will bring you up from the extremities of the north, and I will bring you against the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel 39:3	And I will strike the bow from your left hand, and the arrows from your right hand I will make fall.
Ezekiel 39:4	You will fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the nations who [are] with you, to [be] the prey of birds of every sort, and [to] the beasts of the field I will give you as food.
Ezekiel 39:5	You will fall upon the face of the field, for I have spoken, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:6	And I will send fire on Magog, and on those dwelling in the islands in security, and they will know that I [am] YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:7	And My holy name I will make known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let the name of My holiness be profaned anymore; and the nations will know that I [am] YHWH, the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel 39:8	Behold, it is coming, and it will come to pass, a declaration of the Lord YHWH; it [is] the day of which I have spoken!
Ezekiel 39:9	And those dwelling in the cities of Israel will go out, and they will set on fire and will burn the weapons—the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, and the javelins and spears—and they will burn them with fire seven years;
Ezekiel 39:10	and they will not carry wood from the field, and they will not cut down from the forests, because they will burn the weapons with fire. And they will plunder those who plundered them, and they will pillage those who pillaged them, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:11	And it will come to pass on that day, [that] I will give for Gog a place there [for] burial in Israel, the valley of those passing by east of the sea; and it will block those passing by, and for they will bury there Gog and all his multitude. And they will call [it] the Valley of Hamon-gog.
Ezekiel 39:12	And the house of Israel will be burying them, in order to cleanse the land, seven months.
Ezekiel 39:13	All the people of the land will be burying, and they will be unto them for renown on the day of My being glorified, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:14	And they will set apart men to continually pass through the land, burying the passers-by remaining on the face of the ground, to cleanse it; at the end of seven months they will make a search.
Ezekiel 39:15	And those passing by will pass through the land, and having seen a bone of a man, he will construct beside it a sign, until those burying have buried it in the Valley of Hamon-gog.
Ezekiel 39:16	(Also the name of the city [is] Hamonah.) And they will cleanse the land.
Ezekiel 39:17	And you, son of man, thus says the Lord YHWH: Say to the bird of every wing, and to every beast of the field, ‘Gather yourselves, and come; gather together from all around to My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you⁺, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you⁺ may eat flesh and drink blood!
Ezekiel 39:18	The flesh of the mighty ones you⁺ will eat, and the blood of the princes of the earth you⁺ will drink—rams, lambs, and goats, and bulls, fatlings of Bashan—all of them!
Ezekiel 39:19	And you⁺ will eat fat to fullness, and you⁺ will drink blood to drunkenness, at My sacrifice that I am sacrificing for you⁺.
Ezekiel 39:20	And you⁺ will be filled at My table [with] horses and riders, with mighty ones, and with all the men of war,’ a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 39:21	And I will give forth My glory among the nations, and all the nations will see My judgment that I have made, and My hand that I have set upon them.
Ezekiel 39:22	And the house of Israel will know that I [am] YHWH their God, from that day and forward.
Ezekiel 39:23	And the nations will know that for their iniquity the house of Israel went into captivity, upon that they were unfaithful to Me; and I hid My face from them, and I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.
Ezekiel 39:24	According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions I have dealt with them, and I have hidden My face from them.
Ezekiel 39:25	Therefore, thus says the Lord YHWH: Now I will turn back the captivity of Jacob, and I will have compassion on all the house of Israel, and I will be jealous for My holy name.
Ezekiel 39:26	And they will forget their shame, and all their unfaithfulness by which they were unfaithful with Me in their dwelling upon their own land in safety, and there will not be one to frighten them.
Ezekiel 39:27	In My returning them from the peoples, I have gathered them from the lands of their enemies, and I will show My holiness in them before the eyes of the many nations.
Ezekiel 39:28	And they will know that I [am] YHWH their God, in My sending them into captivity among the nations. And I will gather them upon their land, and no longer will I leave them to remain there.
Ezekiel 39:29	And I will not hide My face anymore from them, when I pour out My Spirit on the house of Israel, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.”
Ezekiel 40:1	In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was captured, on this very day, the hand of YHWH was upon me, and He took me there.
Ezekiel 40:2	In visions of God, He brought me to the land of Israel, and made me rest on a very high mountain; and on it [was] like the structure of a city on the south.
Ezekiel 40:3	And He brought me there, and behold, a man whose appearance [was] like the appearance of bronze, and He had a cord of flax in his hand, and a rod for measuring, and he was standing in the gateway.
Ezekiel 40:4	And the man said to me: “Son of man, look with your eyes, and with your ears hear, and set your heart to all that I am going to show you; for that I might show [it] to you, you were brought here. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel!”
Ezekiel 40:5	And behold, a wall on the outside of the temple all around, and in the hand of the man [was] a rod measuring six cubits, by a cubit and a handbreadth. And he measured the width of the structure, one rod, and the height, one rod.
Ezekiel 40:6	And he went to the gateway of which its face [was] toward the east, and he went up on its steps and measured the threshold of the gateway, one rod deep, even one threshold, one rod deep.

Ezekiel 40:46	And the chamber that faces toward the north [is] for the priests keeping guard of the altar; they [are] the sons of Zadok, those coming near from [all] the sons of Levi, unto YHWH to minister to Him.”
Ezekiel 40:47	And he measured the court, a hundred cubits long, and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar [was] before the face of the temple.

Ezekiel 41:6	And the side chambers [were] side chamber above side chamber [in] three [stories], thirty per level; and they rested on the ledges that [were] unto the house for the side chambers all around, to be supports; they were not fastened to the wall of the temple.
Ezekiel 41:7	And it became wider, and went around above [and] above to the side chambers, because the turning round of the house [went] above [and] above round [and] round the house; upon thus the width of the structure [was] above, and the lowest went up to the highest through the middle.
Ezekiel 41:8	And I saw for the temple an elevation round [and] round; the foundation of the side chambers [was] a full rod, six great cubits.
Ezekiel 41:9	The thickness of the wall of the side chambers to the outside [was] five cubits, and also the open area between the side rooms that [were] of the house
Ezekiel 41:10	and between the chambers [was] a width of twenty cubits all around the house, round [and] round.
Ezekiel 41:11	And the doors of the side chambers [were] toward the open area, one door toward the north, and one door toward the south; and the width of the space that [was] open [was] five cubits all around.
Ezekiel 41:12	And the building that [was] toward the face of the separating courtyard [at] the end toward the west [was] seventy cubits wide; and the wall of the building [was] five cubits thick all around, and its length [was] ninety cubits.
Ezekiel 41:13	And he measured the temple, a hundred cubits long; and the separating courtyard, and the building, and its walls, a hundred cubits long.
Ezekiel 41:14	And the width of the face of the temple, and the separating courtyard to the east, [was] a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 41:15	And he measured the length of the building to the face of the separating courtyard that [was] at its back, with its galleries on this side and on this side, a hundred cubits; the outer sanctuary, the inner, and the porches of the court,
Ezekiel 41:16	their doorposts, and the beveled windows, and the galleries all around for the three of them, opposite the threshold, [were] paneled with wood round about, [from] the ground to the windows, and the windows were covered,
Ezekiel 41:17	from above the door, and to the inner room, and on the outside; and on every wall round about, on the inside and on the outside, [were] measured patterns.
Ezekiel 41:18	And it was made [with] cherubim and palm trees, a palm tree between a cherub and a cherub; and two faces [were] unto each cherub:
Ezekiel 41:19	And the face of a man [was] toward the palm tree on this side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on this side; so [it was] made throughout all the temple round [and] round.
Ezekiel 41:20	From the floor to the space above the door, the cherubim and the palm trees [were] made, and the wall of the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 41:21	The temple doorframe [was] square, and [at] the face of the sanctuary, the appearance [was] as the appearance.
Ezekiel 41:22	An altar [was] of wood, three cubits high, and its length [was] two cubits; and its corners for it, and its length, and its sides [were] of wood. And he said to me, “This [is] the table that [is] before the face of YHWH.”
Ezekiel 41:23	And two doors [were] for the temple and for the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 41:24	And two door-panels [were] for the doors, two turning door-panels—two for the one door, and two door-panels for the other.
Ezekiel 41:25	And [were] made onto them, onto the doors of the temple, cherubim and palm trees, as they [were] made on the walls; and a canopy of wood [was] at the face of the portico on the outside.
Ezekiel 41:26	And beveled windows and palm trees [were] on this side and on this side, on the sides of the portico, and [on] the side chambers of the temple, and the canopies.
Ezekiel 42:1	And he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me into the chamber that [was] opposite the separating courtyard, and that opposite the building toward the north.
Ezekiel 42:2	Toward the face of [its] length [was] a hundred cubits, with the door [to] the north, and the width [was] fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:3	Opposite the twenty [cubits] that [were] for the inner court, and opposite the pavement for the outer court, [was] a gallery to the face of a gallery in three parts.
Ezekiel 42:4	And before the face of the chambers [was] a walkway, ten cubits wide and a [hundred] cubits long; and their doors [were] to the north.
Ezekiel 42:5	And the upper chambers [were] shorter, for the galleries took away from them, on the lower and middle of the building.
Ezekiel 42:6	For they [were] in three parts, and there was not unto them pillars like the pillars of the courts; upon thus it was shortened from the ground more than the lower and middle.
Ezekiel 42:7	And a wall that [was] on the outside [was] over against the chambers, toward the outer court, toward the face of the chambers; its length [was] fifty cubits.
Ezekiel 42:8	For the length of the chambers that [were] toward the outer court [was] fifty cubits, and, behold, upon those facing the temple [was] a hundred cubits.
Ezekiel 42:9	And below these chambers [was] the entry on the east, as one enters them from the outer court.
Ezekiel 42:10	Along the length of the wall of the court toward the south, toward the face of the separating courtyard, and toward the face of the building, [were] chambers
Ezekiel 42:11	and a pathway before them, the appearance of the chambers that [were] toward the north, like their length so their width, and all their exits and according to their doors and according to their fashions,
Ezekiel 42:12	and according to their doors of the chambers that [were] toward the south. A door [was] at the head of the walkway, directly at the face of the wall toward the east in entering them.
Ezekiel 42:13	And he said to me: “The chambers to the north [and] the chambers to the south, which [are] toward the face of the separating courtyard, they [are] the holy chambers [in] which the priests, those who nearest to YHWH, will eat there the holy of holies; they will lay the holy of holies there—the grain offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering—for the place [is] holy.
Ezekiel 42:14	With the entering of the priests, they will not go out the holy [area] into the outer court, and there they will leave their garments in which they minister—for they [are] holy—and they will put on other garments, they may come near to [that] which [is] for the people.”
Ezekiel 42:15	And he had completed the measurements of the inner temple, and he brought me out through the gateway that [has] its face toward the east, and he measured it round about.
Ezekiel 42:16	He measured the side to the east with a measuring rod, five hundred [cubits], by the measuring rod, all around.
Ezekiel 42:17	He measured the side to the north, five hundred [cubits], by the measuring rod, all around.
Ezekiel 42:18	The side to the south he measured, five hundred [cubits], by the measuring rod.
Ezekiel 42:19	He came around to the side to the west; he measured five hundred [cubits], by the measuring rod.
Ezekiel 42:20	At the four sides he measured it. A wall [was] unto it round about, a length of five hundred [cubits], and a width of five hundred, to separate between the holy [and] the common.
Ezekiel 43:1	And he brought me to the gate—the gate that is facing toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:2	And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east, and His voice [was] like the voice of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory.
Ezekiel 43:3	And [it was] according to the appearance of the vision that I had seen, like the vision that I had seen when He came to destroy the city; and the visions [were] like the vision that I saw at the River Kebar. And I fell on my face.
Ezekiel 43:4	And the glory of YHWH came into the temple [by] the way of the gate that [has] its face toward the east.
Ezekiel 43:5	And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court, and behold, the glory of YHWH filled the temple.
Ezekiel 43:6	And I heard one speaking to me from the temple, and the man was standing beside me.
Ezekiel 43:7	And He said to me: “Son of man, the place of My throne, and the place for the soles of My feet, [in] which I will dwell there in the midst of the sons of Israel forever; and the house of Israel will defile no more My holy name, they and their kings with their prostitution, and the corpses of their kings at their deaths,
Ezekiel 43:8	by their giving their threshold next to My threshold, and their doorpost beside My doorpost, and the wall between Me and between them. And they have defiled My holy name by the abominations that they did, and I finished them off in My anger.
Ezekiel 43:9	Now let them remove their prostitution, and the corpses of their kings, away from Me, and I will dwell in their midst forever.
Ezekiel 43:10	You, son of man, describe to the house of Israel the temple, so that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the pattern.
Ezekiel 43:11	And if they are ashamed of all that they have done, the design of the temple, and its arrangement, and its exits, and its entrances, and all its design, and all its statutes, and all its forms, and all its laws, make known to them. And write [it] before their eyes, so that they may keep all its design and all its ordinances, and do them.
Ezekiel 43:12	This [is] the law of the temple: On the top of the mountain, all its border round about, [is] the holy of holies. Behold, this [is] the law of the temple.
Ezekiel 43:13	And these [are] the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit [is] a cubit and a handbreadth): The base [shall be] one cubit [high] and one cubit wide, and its rim to its edge all around a span of one; and this [is] the height of the altar.
Ezekiel 43:14	And from the base on the ground up to the lower ledge [shall be] two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits, and the width a cubit.
Ezekiel 43:15	And the altar hearth [shall be] four cubits [high], and from the hearth and upward [are] four horns.
Ezekiel 43:16	And the altar hearth [shall be] twelve long by twelve wide, being square at the four of its corners.
Ezekiel 43:17	And the ledge [shall be] fourteen long, and fourteen wide, on the four of its sides, with a rim around it half a cubit, and the base for it a cubit all around; and its steps shall face toward the east.”
Ezekiel 43:18	And he said to me: “Son of man, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘These [are] the ordinances for the altar on the day of its being made to sacrifice burnt offerings on it, and to sprinkle blood on it.
Ezekiel 43:19	And you shall give to the priests, the Levites, those who [are] of the seed of Zadok, who are near to Me, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, to minister to Me, a bull, a son of the herd, as a sin offering.
Ezekiel 43:20	And you shall take from its blood and put [it] upon the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim around it; and you will cleanse it from sin and make atonement for it.
Ezekiel 43:21	And you shall take the bull of the sin offering and burn it in the appointed place of the temple, outside of the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 43:22	And on the second day, you shall offer a kid of the goats, unblemished, for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse from sin the altar, as they cleansed [it] from sin with the bull.
Ezekiel 43:23	When you have finished cleansing from sin, you shall bring near a bull, a son of the herd, unblemished, and a ram from the flock, unblemished.
Ezekiel 43:24	And you shall present them before YHWH, and the priests shall throw on them salt, and they shall offer them up [as] a burnt offering to YHWH.
Ezekiel 43:25	Seven days you shall prepare a goat [for] a sin offering, day by day, and a bull, a son of the herd and a ram from the flock, unblemished, they shall prepare.
Ezekiel 43:26	Seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it, and they shall fill its hands.
Ezekiel 43:27	And are completed these days, and it shall come to pass on the eighth day and thereafter, [that] the priests shall make upon the altar your⁺ burnt offerings and your⁺ peace offerings, and will I accept you⁺, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.’”
Ezekiel 44:1	And He brought me back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that faced east, and it [was] shut.
Ezekiel 44:2	And YHWH said to me: “This gate will be kept shut; it shall not be opened, and no man will enter by it, because YHWH, God of Israel has entered by it; and it will be kept shut.
Ezekiel 44:3	The prince—the prince himself—he may sit in it to eat bread before YHWH; by way of the portico of the gateway he will enter, and by its way he will go out.”
Ezekiel 44:4	And He brought me by way of the north gate toward the face of the temple. And I looked, and behold, the glory of YHWH filled the house of YHWH, and I fell on my face.
Ezekiel 44:5	And YHWH said to me: “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears all that I am saying to you concerning all the statutes of the house of YHWH, and concerning all its laws; and set your heart concerning those entering the house and all those going out of the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 44:6	And say to the rebellious one, to the house of Israel, thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Enough for you⁺ from all your⁺ abominations, O house of Israel—
Ezekiel 44:7	your⁺ bringing in the sons of a foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile My house in your⁺ offering My food, the fat and the blood. And they have broken My covenant because of all your⁺ abominations.
Ezekiel 44:8	And you⁺ have not kept guard over My holy things, and you⁺ set [them] to keep guard over My sanctuary for you⁺!’
Ezekiel 44:9	Thus says the Lord YHWH: Any son of a foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, will not come into My sanctuary—any son of a foreigner who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Ezekiel 44:10	Oh how the Levites who went far from Me in the straying of Israel, who went astray from Me after their idols, will indeed bear their iniquity!
Ezekiel 44:11	And they shall be in My sanctuary, ministering [as] attendants at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house; they shall slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.
Ezekiel 44:12	Because that they ministered to them before their idols, and they became for the house of Israel a stumbling block of iniquity, upon thus I have lifted My hand concerning them, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, that they shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel 44:13	And they will not come near to Me to minister as priest to Me, or come near to any of My holy things, to the holies of the holies, and they shall bear their shame and their abominations which they have done.
Ezekiel 44:14	And I will give them to keep charge of the temple, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Ezekiel 44:15	And the Levite priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept guard over My sanctuary in the wandering away of the sons of Israel from Me, they will come near to Me to minister to Me, and they will stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 44:16	They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge.
Ezekiel 44:17	And it will come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, [that] they will put on garments of linen and no wool will come up upon them in their ministering within the gates of the inner court, and within it.
Ezekiel 44:18	Turbans of linen will be on their heads, and undergarments of linen will be on their bodies; they will not gird themselves with sweat.
Ezekiel 44:19	And in their going out to the outer court, to the outer court unto the people, they shall take off their garments which they have ministered in them, and they shall leave them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments, so that they do not sanctify the people with their garments.
Ezekiel 44:20	And their head, they shall not shave [it]; their hair they shall not grow long; they must carefully trim their heads.
Ezekiel 44:21	And no priest shall drink any wine in their coming into the inner court.
Ezekiel 44:22	And a widow or a divorced woman they shall not take to themselves as wife, but only virgins from the seed of the house of Israel, or the widow who is a widow of a priest, they may take.
Ezekiel 44:23	And they will teach My people between the holy [and] the common, and between the unclean [and] the clean they shall make them know.
Ezekiel 44:24	And in a dispute they will stand in judgment; according to My ordinances they shall judge it, and My laws and My statutes in all My appointed feasts they shall keep, and My Sabbaths they shall sanctify.
Ezekiel 44:25	And unto a dead person they shall not come to defile themselves, but only for a father or for a mother, for a son or for a daughter, or for a brother or for a sister who has not been unto a man, may they defile themselves.
Ezekiel 44:26	And after he is cleansed, they shall count for him seven days.
Ezekiel 44:27	And on the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he must offer his sin offering, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 44:28	And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance. You⁺ shall give to them no possession in Israel; I am their possession.
Ezekiel 44:29	The grain offering, and the sin offering, and the guilt offering they shall eat, and every devoted thing in Israel shall be unto them.
Ezekiel 44:30	And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every contribution of all things from all your⁺ contributions, it will be for the priests. And the first of your⁺ dough you⁺ shall give to the priest, to cause to rest a blessing on your house.
Ezekiel 44:31	Every carcass and torn thing from the bird or from the beast, the priests shall not eat.
Ezekiel 45:1	[“] And in your⁺ allotting the land as an inheritance, you⁺ shall set apart a contribution to YHWH, a holy [portion] of the land; its length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the width twenty thousand. It [is] holy in all its borders all around.
Ezekiel 45:2	There shall be from this for the sanctuary five hundred by five hundred, a square plot, around, [with] fifty cubits open space for it all around.
Ezekiel 45:3	And from this measure, you shall measure a length of five and twenty thousand, and a width of ten thousand; and in it will be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.
Ezekiel 45:4	It [is] a holy [portion] of the land; it is for the priests ministering in the sanctuary, who draw near to minister to YHWH; and it shall be unto them a place for houses and a holy place for the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 45:5	And five and twenty thousand long, and ten thousand wide, shall be unto the Levites ministering in the temple, as a possession for them, twenty towns in which to live.
Ezekiel 45:6	And as the possession of the city you⁺ shall give five thousand wide, [with] a length of five and twenty thousand, adjacent to the portion of the holy [portion]; it shall be unto all of the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 45:7	And for the prince, on this side and on this side of the portion of the holy [area], and of the possession of the city, toward the faces of the portion of the holy [area], and toward the faces of the property of the city, from the west side westward, from the east side eastward; and the length [is] parallel to one of the portions, from the west border to the east border
Ezekiel 45:8	of the land. It will be unto him as a possession in Israel. And My princes will not oppress My people anymore, and the land they will give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Ezekiel 45:9	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘Enough to you⁺, O princes of Israel, turn aside violence and destruction and do justice and righteousness. Stop your⁺ evictions upon My people, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.’
Ezekiel 45:10	Righteous scales and a righteous ephah and a righteous bath shall be unto you⁺.
Ezekiel 45:11	The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, the bath to bear a tenth of a homer, and the ephah a tenth of a homer. Their measure will be according to the homer.
Ezekiel 45:12	And the shekel [shall be] twenty gerahs; twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, ten and five shekels, will be unto you⁺ the mina.

Ezekiel 45:14	And the ordinance for the oil, the bath of oil, [is] a tenth of a bath from each kor (a homer [is] ten baths, for ten baths [are] a homer);
Ezekiel 45:15	and [will be] one lamb from the flock, from two hundred, from the watering places of Israel, for each grain offering, and burnt offering, and peace offering, to make atonement upon them, a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 45:16	All the people of the land shall be toward this contribution for the prince in Israel.
Ezekiel 45:17	And concerning the prince, it shall be the burnt offerings and the grain offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the New Moons and the Sabbaths and at all the appointed feasts of the house of Israel; he shall prepare the sin offering, and the grain offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make atonement for the house of Israel.
Ezekiel 45:18	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘In the first [month], on the first of the month, you shall take a bull, a son of the herd, unblemished, and you shall cleanse from sin the sanctuary.
Ezekiel 45:19	And the priest shall take from the blood of the sin offering, and put [it] onto the doorposts of the temple, and onto the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and onto the doorposts of the gate of the inner court.
Ezekiel 45:20	And so you shall do on the seventh of the month, for each man who errs and is ignorant, and you⁺ will make atonement for the temple.
Ezekiel 45:21	In the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, will be for you⁺ the Passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened [bread] shall be eaten.
Ezekiel 45:22	And the prince shall prepare on that day, for himself and for all the people of the land, a bull as a sin offering.
Ezekiel 45:23	And on the seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to YHWH, seven bulls and seven rams unblemished day by day—seven days—and a sin offering, a kid of the goats, day by day.
Ezekiel 45:24	And a grain offering of one ephah for each bull, and one ephah for each ram he shall prepare, and a hin of oil for each ephah.
Ezekiel 45:25	In the seventh [month], on the fifteenth day of the month, during the feast, he shall do like these seven days, for the sin offering, for the burnt offering, and the grain offering, and the oil.’
Ezekiel 46:1	[“] Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘The gateway of the inner court facing the east shall be shut [for] the six days of work; and on the day of the Sabbath it shall be opened, and on the day of the New Moon it shall be opened.
Ezekiel 46:2	And the prince shall enter by way of the portico of the gateway from the outside, and stand by the doorpost of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate and go out, and the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
Ezekiel 46:3	And the people of the land will bow down at the entrance to that gateway, on the Sabbaths and the New Moons, before YHWH.
Ezekiel 46:4	And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer to YHWH on the day of the Sabbath [is] six lambs unblemished, and a ram unblemished.
Ezekiel 46:5	And the grain offering [is] an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs the grain offering [is] a gift of his hand, and a hin of oil for the ephah.
Ezekiel 46:6	And on the day of the New Moon [it is] a bull, a son of the herd, unblemished, and six lambs and a ram—they shall be unblemished.
Ezekiel 46:7	And an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, he shall prepare [as] a grain offering, and for the lambs as that his hand can take, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Ezekiel 46:8	And in the coming in of the prince, he shall come [in] by way of the portico of the gateway, and the same way he shall go out.
Ezekiel 46:9	And in the coming in of the people of the land before YHWH at the appointed feasts, the one coming in by way of the north gate to worship will go out by way of the south gate, and the one coming in by way of the south gate will go out by way of the north gate; he will not return by way of the gate by that he entered, but he will go out straight ahead of him.
Ezekiel 46:10	And the prince will be in their midst; at their coming in, he will go in, and at their going out, he will go out.
Ezekiel 46:11	And at the festivals, and the appointed feasts the grain offering will be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs a gift of his hand, and a hin of oil to an ephah.
Ezekiel 46:12	When the prince makes a freewill offering—a burnt offering or peace offerings—a freewill offering to YHWH, then shall be opened for him the gate facing the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the day of the Sabbath; and he will go out, and the gate will be shut after his going out.
Ezekiel 46:13	And a lamb, a son of a year, unblemished, you shall make [as] a burnt offering day by day to YHWH; morning by morning you shall make it.
Ezekiel 46:14	And a grain offering you shall prepare with it, morning by morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour, [as] a grain offering to YHWH. [This is] a statute forever, in perpetuity.
Ezekiel 46:15	They shall prepare the lamb, and the grain offering, and the oil, morning by morning, [as] a continual burnt offering.’
Ezekiel 46:16	Thus says the Lord YHWH: ‘If the prince gives a gift to man of his sons [as] his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it [is] their possession by inheritance.
Ezekiel 46:17	And if he gives a gift from his inheritance to one of his servants, it will be unto him until the year of liberty; then it will return to the prince; surely [it is] his inheritance [for] his sons; unto them it shall be.
Ezekiel 46:18	And the prince shall not take from inheritance of the people by evicting them from their property; from his own property he shall provide an inheritance for his sons, so that My people will not be scattered, a man from his property.’”
Ezekiel 46:19	And he brought me through the entrance that [was] at the side of the gate, into the chambers of holiness for the priests, facing toward the north; and behold, there [was] a place at the extremities of the west.
Ezekiel 46:20	And he said to me: “This [is] the place where the priests shall boil there the guilt offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so as not to bring [them] out into the outer court to sanctify the people.”
Ezekiel 46:21	And he brought me out into the outer court, and he caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, a court in each corner of the court, a court in the corner of the court.
Ezekiel 46:22	In the four corners of the court [were] courts enclosed, forty long and thirty wide, a single measure for their four corners.
Ezekiel 46:23	And a row [was] all around in them, all around the four of them, and cooking hearths were made under the rows all around.
Ezekiel 46:24	And he said to me, “These [are] the kitchens of those boiling, where the ministers of the temple will boil there the sacrifices of the people.”
Ezekiel 47:1	And he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, waters were flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the face of the temple [is] eastward), and the waters were flowing from under the side of the temple [on] the right, at the south of the altar.
Ezekiel 47:2	And he brought me out by way of the north gate, and he led me around the way on the outside to the outer gateway, the way facing east, and behold, waters were flowing on the right side.
Ezekiel 47:3	At the going out of the man to the east, and the line in his hand, he measured a thousand by the cubit; and he brought me through the waters—waters to the ankles.
Ezekiel 47:4	And he measured a thousand, and he brought me through the waters—waters to the knees; and again he measured a thousand, and he brought me through waters to the loins.
Ezekiel 47:5	And he measured a thousand—a river that I was not able to cross; for the waters had risen—waters for swimming, a river that could not be crossed.
Ezekiel 47:6	And he said to me, “Have you seen, son of man?” And he brought me and returned me [to] the bank of the river.
Ezekiel 47:7	In my returning, behold, along the bank of the river [were] very many trees, on this side and on this side.
Ezekiel 47:8	And He said to me: “These waters are flowing toward the eastern border, and they go down upon the Arabah and enter the Sea; and having gone out into the sea, [its] waters are healed.
Ezekiel 47:9	And it will come to pass [that] every soul living that moves, at every [place] where the rivers should come there, will live. And there will be a great abundance of fish, because these waters come there, and they will be healed. And will live everything wherever the river comes there.
Ezekiel 47:10	And it will come to pass [that] fishermen will stand upon it. From En-gedi unto En-eglaim will be a spreading place of nets; their fish will be according to their kind as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.
Ezekiel 47:11	And its swamps and marshes will still not be healed; they will be given to salt.
Ezekiel 47:12	And alongside the river will come up along the bank, on this side and on this side, every of tree for food; its leaf will not wither, and its fruit will not fail. According to its months it will bear fruit, because its waters, they [are] flowing from the sanctuary, and its fruit will be for food, and its leaf for healing.”
Ezekiel 47:13	Thus says the Lord YHWH: “These [are] the borders by which you⁺ shall divide as an inheritance the land among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph [shall have] portions,
Ezekiel 47:14	and you⁺ shall divide it one with another, for I lifted up My hand to give it to your⁺ fathers, and this land will fall to you⁺ as an inheritance.
Ezekiel 47:15	And this [is] the border of the land on the side of the north, from the Great Sea, [by] the way of Hethlon, through Lebo-hamath to Zedad,
Ezekiel 47:16	Berothah, and Sibraim, which [is] between the border of Damascus and between the border of Hamath; Hazar-Hatticon, which [is] on the border of Hauran.
Ezekiel 47:17	And will be the boundary from the Sea to Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus and to the north, to the north, and the border of Hamath. And [this is] the side to the north.
Ezekiel 47:18	And on the side of the east from between Hauran, and between Damascus, and between Gilead, and between the land of Israel, [along] the Jordan; from [this] border to the Eastern Sea as far as Tamar. And [this is] the side of the east.
Ezekiel 47:19	And the side of the Negev toward the south: From Tamar unto the waters of Meribah Kadesh, [along] the brook [of Egypt] to the Great Sea. And [this is] the side of the Negev toward the south.
Ezekiel 47:20	And [on] the side of the west, the Great Sea, from the border until over against the coming in Hamath. This [is] the side of the west.
Ezekiel 47:21	And you⁺ shall divide this land among yourselves, according to the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 47:22	And it will come to pass [that] you⁺ will allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the sojourners who are sojourning in your⁺ midst who give birth to sons in your⁺ midst, and they will be unto you⁺ as a native among the sons of Israel; with you⁺ they shall be allotted an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 47:23	And it will come to pass in the tribe with which the sojourner sojourned, [that] there you⁺ will give his inheritance,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 48:1	“And these [are] the names of the tribes: From the border of the north, along the coast of the way of Hethlon, at the entrance of Hamath, [unto] Hazar-enan, [on] the border of Damascus northward, toward the hand of Hamath, there will be from the side of the east [to] the west [for] Dan one [portion].
Ezekiel 48:2	And along the border of Dan, from the side of the east to the side of the west, [for] Asher one [portion].

Ezekiel 48:8	And along the border of Judah, from the side of the east to the side of the west, will be the portion that you⁺ will lift up—five and twenty thousand in width, and [in] length as one of the portions, from the side of the east to the side of the west, with the sanctuary in the middle of it.
Ezekiel 48:9	The portion that you⁺ shall lift up for YHWH [shall be] five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in width.
Ezekiel 48:10	And to these will be the holy portion for the priests: To the north five and twenty thousand, and to the west ten thousand in width, and to the east ten thousand in width, and to the south five and twenty thousand in length; and the sanctuary of YHWH will be in the middle of it
Ezekiel 48:11	for the priests who are sanctified from the sons of Zadok, those who have kept My charge, who did not go astray in the straying of the sons of Israel, as the Levites went astray.
Ezekiel 48:12	And a special portion will be for them from the portion of the land, a holy of holies, toward the border of the Levites.
Ezekiel 48:13	And the Levites [shall be] next to the border of the priests, five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in width; all the length [shall be] five and twenty thousand, and the width ten thousand.
Ezekiel 48:14	And they shall not sell of it, and not exchange [it]; and they must not cause to pass through the firstfruit of the land, for [it is] holy to YHWH.
Ezekiel 48:15	And the five thousand that are remaining in width, along the edge of the five and twenty thousand, [is] for common use; it [is] for the city, for dwellings, and for pastureland; and the city will be in the middle of it.
Ezekiel 48:16	And these [shall be] its measurements: The side of the north, five hundred and four thousand; and the side of the south, five [and] five hundred and four thousand; and the side of the east, five hundred and four thousand; and the side of the west, five hundred and four thousand.
Ezekiel 48:17	And the pastureland for the city will be to the north fifty and two hundred, and to the south fifty and two hundred, and to the east fifty and two hundred, and to the west fifty and two hundred.
Ezekiel 48:18	And the remainder of the length alongside the holy portion [shall be] ten thousand to the east, and ten thousand to the west; and it will be adjacent to the holy portion, and its produce will be for food for the workers of the city.
Ezekiel 48:19	And the workers of the city will work it from all the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel 48:20	All the portion [shall be] five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand, foursquare; you⁺ shall lift up the holy portion along with the property of the city.
Ezekiel 48:21	And the remainder [is] unto the prince, on this side and on this side of the holy portion and the property of the city; toward the faces of the five and twenty thousand portion alongside the border of the east, and westward alongside the faces of the five and twenty thousand along the border of the west, adjacent to the allotments, [is] unto the prince. The holy portion and the sanctuary of the temple will be in the midst of it.
Ezekiel 48:22	And apart from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, in the midst of what will be unto the prince, between the border of Judah and between the border of Benjamin, will be unto the prince.
Ezekiel 48:23	And the rest of the tribes: From the side of the east to the side of the west, Benjamin [has] one [portion].

Ezekiel 48:29	This [is] the land that you⁺ shall allot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these [are] their portions,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH.
Ezekiel 48:30	“And these [are] the exits of the city: On the side of the north, [which is] five hundred and four thousand [by] measure,
Ezekiel 48:31	and [these] gates of the city [are] according to the names of the tribes of Israel: Three gates to the north—one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi.
Ezekiel 48:32	And on the side of the east, five hundred and four thousand, also three gates—one gate for Joseph, one gate for Benjamin, and one gate for Dan.

Daniel 1:1	In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came [to] Jerusalem and laid siege upon it.
Daniel 1:2	And the Lord gave into his hand Jehoiakim king of Judah, and some of the vessels of the house of God, and he brought [them] into the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the house of treasure of his god.
Daniel 1:3	And the king said to Ashpenaz the chief of his eunuchs to bring in some of the sons of Israel, and some of the seed of the king and of the nobles,
Daniel 1:4	young men in whom there was not any blemish, and of good appearance, and being skilled in all wisdom, and knowing knowledge, and understanding learning, and who [had] power in them to serve in the palace of the king and to teach them and literature and language of the Chaldeans.
Daniel 1:5	And the king counted out for them provision day by day from the choice portion of the king, and from the wine of his banquets, and of training for them three years, after which they were to stand before the king.
Daniel 1:6	And there were among them of the sons of Judah—Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
Daniel 1:7	And the chief of the eunuchs set for them names; and he gave to Daniel Belteshazzar, and to Hananiah Shadrach, and to Mishael Meshach, and to Azariah Abed-nego.
Daniel 1:8	And Daniel set upon his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king, nor with the wine of his banquets; therefore he sought from the chief of the eunuchs that he would not defile himself.
Daniel 1:9	And God gave Daniel for kindness and compassion before the chief of the eunuchs.
Daniel 1:10	And the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel: “I [am] afraid of my lord the king, who has assigned your⁺ food and your⁺ drink; for why should he see your⁺ faces sadder than the young men who [are] your⁺ age? And you⁺ would endanger my head before the king.”
Daniel 1:11	And Daniel said to the guardian, whom the chief of the eunuchs had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Daniel 1:12	“Test, please, your servants ten days, and let them give to us from the vegetables only to eat, and water only to drink.
Daniel 1:13	And let our appearance be seen before you, and the appearance of the young men that are eating the portion of the king, and according to what you see, deal with your servants.”
Daniel 1:14	And he listened to them, to this word, and he tested them ten days.
Daniel 1:15	And at the end of ten days, their appearance was seen better and fatter in flesh than all the young men eating the portion of the king.
Daniel 1:16	And it came to pass [that] the steward took away their portions, and the wine [for] their drinking, and gave to them vegetables.
Daniel 1:17	And these four young men, God gave to them knowledge and understanding in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Daniel 1:18	And at the end of the days, when the king had said to bring them in, then the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel 1:19	And the king spoke to them, and there was not found among them all one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; and they stood before the king.
Daniel 1:20	And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them ten hands above all the magicians [and] the enchanters who [were] in all his kingdom.
Daniel 1:21	And Daniel was there until the first year of Cyrus the king.
Daniel 2:1	And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, and his spirit was troubled that his sleep left him.
Daniel 2:2	And the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the astrologers, to tell to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.
Daniel 2:3	And the king said to them: “I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream.”
Daniel 2:4	And the astrologers spoke to the king in Aramaic, “O king, may you live forever! Tell the dream to your servants, and we will show the interpretation.”
Daniel 2:5	The king answered and said to the astrologers, “The word from me is firm: If you⁺ do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you⁺ shall be cut into limbs, and your houses shall be made a dunghill!
Daniel 2:6	And if you⁺ show the dream and its interpretation, you⁺ will receive gifts and rewards and great honor from me. Therefore show me the dream and its interpretation.”
Daniel 2:7	They answered again and said, “May the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will show its interpretation.”
Daniel 2:8	The king answered and said, “For sure I know that you⁺ are buying time, all because you⁺ see that the word is gone from me,
Daniel 2:9	that if you⁺ do not make known to me the dream, it [is] one decree for you⁺. And you⁺ have agreed to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the times should change. Therefore you must tell the dream to me, and I will know that you⁺ can show me its interpretation.”
Daniel 2:10	The astrologers answered before the king and said, “There is not a man on earth who is able to show the word of the king, because that not any king, lord, or ruler has asked a thing like this from any magician, or enchanter, or astrologer.
Daniel 2:11	And the thing that the king is asking [is] difficult, and there is not another who can show it to the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”
Daniel 2:12	All because of this, the king was very angry and he became furious, and he gave a command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:13	And the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men, and they sought Daniel and his companions to kill [them].
Daniel 2:14	Then Daniel responded with counsel and discretion to Arioch the captain of the guard of the king, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:15	He answered and said to Arioch, captain of the king: “For what [is] this urgent decree from the king?” Then Arioch made known the matter to Daniel.
Daniel 2:16	And Daniel went in and sought from the king that he should give to him time to show the interpretation to the king.
Daniel 2:17	Then Daniel went to his house, and to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah his companions, he made known the matter,
Daniel 2:18	and he sought mercies from before the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions should perish not with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:19	Then to Daniel, in a vision which [was] of the night, the secret was revealed. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven,
Daniel 2:20	and Daniel answered, saying, “Let the name of God be blessed from age even to age, for the wisdom and might that are unto Him.
Daniel 2:21	And He [is] the One changing the times and the seasons, removing kings and setting up kings, giving wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those knowing with understanding.
Daniel 2:22	He [is] the One revealing deep and secret [things], knowing what [is] in the darkness, for the light dwells with Him.
Daniel 2:23	To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and I praise You, for You have given wisdom and might. To me and now You have made known to me what we asked of You, for the matter of the king You have made known to us.”
Daniel 2:24	Therefore according to this, Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and thus said to him: “You should not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Take me before the king, and I will show the interpretation to the king.”
Daniel 2:25	Then Arioch, going with haste, brought Daniel before the king, and thus said to him: “I have found a man from the sons of the captivity of Judah who will show the interpretation to the king.”
Daniel 2:26	The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name [was] Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen, and its interpretation?”
Daniel 2:27	Daniel answered before the king and said: “The secret that the king has been asking, the wise men, the enchanters, the magicians, and the diviners are not able to show to the king;
Daniel 2:28	but there is a God in heaven revealing secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will come to pass in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, this it [is]:
Daniel 2:29	[To] you, O king, your thought on your bed came up what would come to be after this; and the One revealing secrets has made known to you what will come to pass.
Daniel 2:30	And to me—not with wisdom that is in me more than all the living—this secret has been revealed to me, but in order that the interpretation should be made known to the king and [that] you may know the thoughts of your heart.
Daniel 2:31	You, O king, were watching, and behold, a great image. This great image, whose splendor [was] excellent, was standing before you, and its appearance was frightening.
Daniel 2:32	This image, its head [was] of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze,
Daniel 2:33	its legs of iron, its feet, part of them of iron and part of them of clay.
Daniel 2:34	You were looking, until that a stone was cut out, but not with hands, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and it shattered them.
Daniel 2:35	Then they were crushed as one—the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, and they became like chaff from the threshing floors in summer, and the wind carried them away, and any trace of them could not be found. And the stone that struck the image became as a great mountain, and it filled all the earth.
Daniel 2:36	This [is] the dream, and its interpretation we will tell before the king.
Daniel 2:37	You, O king, [are] king of kings—for the God of heaven has given to you the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory.
Daniel 2:38	And in everywhere the sons of man are dwelling, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the heavens, He has given [them] into your hand, and He has made you ruler over them all. You [are] that head of gold!
Daniel 2:39	And after you another kingdom will arise, inferior to you, and another third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.
Daniel 2:40	And there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron, because that iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes all these, it will break in pieces and it will crush.
Daniel 2:41	And as you saw the feet and the toes, partly of the clay of a potter, and partly of iron, [so] the kingdom shall be divided; and some of the strength of the iron will be in it, as you saw the iron mixed with common clay.
Daniel 2:42	And as the toes of the feet [were] partly of iron and partly of clay, so partly the kingdom will be strong, and part will be brittle.
Daniel 2:43	And as you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will be mixing together with the seed of man; they will not be adhering this to that, as iron does not mix with clay.
Daniel 2:44	And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will not be destroyed for the ages, and [this] other kingdom will not be left to the people; it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand to the ages,
Daniel 2:45	all because that you saw that from the mountain was cut out the stone that [was] without hands, that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will come to be after this. And the dream [is] true, and its interpretation trustworthy.”
Daniel 2:46	Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, and to Daniel he paid homage, and an offering and he commanded that incense be poured forth to him.
Daniel 2:47	The king Answered Daniel and said: “Of a truth [it is] that your⁺ God, He [is] God of gods and Lord of kings, and the One revealing secrets, since you were able to reveal this secret.”
Daniel 2:48	Then the king gave high honor to Daniel, and he gave many great gifts to him; and he made him ruler over all the province of Babylon and chief of the administrators over all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel 2:49	And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and Daniel [was] in the gate of the king.
Daniel 3:1	Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold; its height [was] sixty cubits, its width six cubits. He set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 3:2	And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the administrators, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the province, to come for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel 3:3	Then were gathered together the satraps, the administrators, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the province, for the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel 3:4	And the herald was calling out with force: “To you⁺ it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages,
Daniel 3:5	[that] at the time when you⁺ hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music, you⁺ shall fall down and give homage to the image of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up!
Daniel 3:6	And whoever does not fall down and give homage to it, he shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning furnace of fire!”
Daniel 3:7	All because of this, at that time, accordingly as all the people heard the sound of the horn, the flute, the lyre, trigon, pipe, and all kinds of music, they fell down—all the people, nations, and languages—giving homage to the image of gold that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel 3:8	All because of this, at that time some astrologers, men, came forward and they ate to pieces the Jews.
Daniel 3:9	They spoke and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king, “O King, may you live forever!
Daniel 3:10	You, O king, have set forth a decree that any man who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and pipe, and all kinds of music, must fall down and give homage to the image of gold.
Daniel 3:11	And whoever does not fall down and give homage, he shall be cast into the midst of a burning furnace of fire!
Daniel 3:12	There are men [of] the Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men do not set upon you, O king, the regard! To your gods they do not serve, and to the image of gold that you have set up they do not give homage!”
Daniel 3:13	Then Nebuchadnezzar, in rage and fury, commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Daniel 3:14	Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, “Is [it] true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, [that] you⁺ are not giving service to my gods and not giving homage to the image of gold that I have set up?
Daniel 3:15	Now, if you⁺ are ready, at that time when you⁺ hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, and pipe, and all kinds of music, then you⁺ fall down and give homage to the image that I have made! And if you⁺ will not give homage in it, immediately you⁺ shall be cast into the midst of a burning furnace of fire—and who is the god who will deliver you⁺ from my hands?”
Daniel 3:16	Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered, and said to the king: “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to answer you in this matter.
Daniel 3:17	If our God, whom we serve, exists, He is able to deliver us from the burning furnace of fire. From your hand, O king, He will deliver [us].
Daniel 3:18	But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that to your gods we are not serving, and to the image of gold that you have set up we will not give homage.”
Daniel 3:19	Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the image of his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. He spoke and commanded to heat the furnace seven times more than it is seen to be heated.
Daniel 3:20	And to men mighty of valor who [were] in his army, he commanded to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, to cast [them] into the burning furnace of fire.
Daniel 3:21	Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, and their turbans, and their garments, and they were cast into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.
Daniel 3:22	All because of this, upon that the command of the king was urgent and the furnace was extremely hot, these men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, the flame of fire killed them.
Daniel 3:23	And these three men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell into the midst of the burning furnace of fire, bound.
Daniel 3:24	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was startled, and he rose in haste; he spoke and said to his counselors, “Was [it] not [that] we cast three men into the midst of the fire, bound?” They answered and said to the king, “Certainly, O King.”
Daniel 3:25	He answered and said, “Behold! I am seeing four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and there is to them no harm! And his appearance, that of the fourth, is like a son of the gods!”
Daniel 3:26	Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning furnace of fire; he answered and said: “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, servants of God Most High, come out and come here!” So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out from the midst of the fire.
Daniel 3:27	And gathered together the satraps, the administrators, and the governors, and the counselors of the king, and they saw these men whom the fire had no power over their bodies, and the hair of their head was not singed, and their garments were not changed, and the smell of fire had not passed over them.
Daniel 3:28	Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, “Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and [who] changed the word of the king, and gave up their bodies that they should not serve and not give homage to any god, except to their God!
Daniel 3:29	And a decree from me shall be set forth, that any people, nation, or language, that speaks wrong against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut into limbs and their houses shall be made a dunghill—all because that there is no other God who is able to deliver like this.”
Daniel 3:30	Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 4:1	Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages who are dwelling in all the earth: Your⁺ peace be multiplied!
Daniel 4:2	The signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked for me, it seemed proper for me to show.
Daniel 4:3	His signs, how great, and His wonders, how mighty! His kingdom [is] a kingdom for the age, and His dominion [is] from generation to generation!
Daniel 4:4	I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace.
Daniel 4:5	I saw a dream, and it frightened me, and the thoughts upon my bed and visions of my head alarmed me.
Daniel 4:6	And from me a decree was set forth to bring in before me all the wise men of Babylon, that the interpretation of the dream they should make known to me.
Daniel 4:7	Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the astrologers, and the diviners; and I told the dream before them, and its interpretation they could not make known to me.
Daniel 4:8	And at last came before me Daniel—of whom his name [is] Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and [for] whom the Spirit of the holy gods [is] in him—and I told the dream before him:
Daniel 4:9	“O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the Spirit of the holy gods [is] in you, and a secret is not constraining for you, may you tell to me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
Daniel 4:10	And ] the visions of my head upon my bed: I was looking, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height [was] great.
Daniel 4:11	The tree grew large and became strong, and its height reached to the heavens, and the sight of it to the ends of all the earth.
Daniel 4:12	Its leaves [were] lovely, and its fruit abundant, and food for all [was] in it; under it the beasts of the field found shade, and in its branches the birds of the heavens dwelt, and from it all flesh was fed.
Daniel 4:13	I was looking at the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one from heaven, was coming down.
Daniel 4:14	He called out with strength, and thus said: ‘Chop down the tree and cut off its branches. Strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.
Daniel 4:15	Nevertheless, leave the stump [and] its roots in the ground, with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and his portion with the beasts in the grass of the earth.
Daniel 4:16	Let his heart be changed from [that of] a man, and let the heart of a beast be given to him, and let seven times pass over him.
Daniel 4:17	By decree of the watchers [is] the sentence, and by word of the holy ones [is] the decision, in order that those living may know that the Most High [is] ruling over the kingdom of men; and to whom He wishes, He gives it, and the lowest of men He sets over it.’
Daniel 4:18	This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen; and you, Belteshazzar, must declare its interpretation, inasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation. And you [are] able, for the Spirit of the holy gods [is] in you.”
Daniel 4:19	Then Daniel, of whom his name [is] Belteshazzar, was dismayed for one moment, and his thoughts disturbed him. The king answered and said, “Belteshazzar, the dream and its interpretation, do not let it trouble you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, the dream, be for those hating you, and its interpretation for your enemies!”
Daniel 4:20	The tree that you saw, which grew large and became strong, and whose height reached to the heavens, and in view of all the earth,
Daniel 4:21	and whose leaves [were] lovely, and its fruit abundant, and food for all [was] in it, under which dwelt the beasts of the field, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens dwelt—
Daniel 4:22	it [is] you, O king, who have grown great and become strong; for your greatness has grown great, and it reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the end of the earth.
Daniel 4:23	In that the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but its stump and roots leave in the earth, with a band that [is] of iron and bronze, in the tender grass that [is] of the field; and with the dew of heaven let it be wet, and with the beasts of the field let his portion be, until that seven times should pass over him!’
Daniel 4:24	This [is] the interpretation, O king, and the decree of the Most High it [is] that has come upon my lord the king:
Daniel 4:25	That they shall drive you away from men, and with the beasts of the field shall be your dwelling; and they shall make you eat grass like oxen, and from the dew of heaven they shall wet you; and seven times shall pass over you, until that you come to know that the Most High [is] ruling over the kingdom of men, and to whom that, He chooses He gives it.
Daniel 4:26	And as they commanded to leave the stump [and] its roots for the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you from when you come to know that Heaven [is] ruling.
Daniel 4:27	Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you; and may you break off your sins with righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, that there may be a lengthening of your prosperity.”
Daniel 4:28	This all came upon Nebuchadnezzar the king.
Daniel 4:29	At the end of twelve months, he was walking about the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Daniel 4:30	The king answered and said, “Is not this the great Babylon, which I myself have built as a house for the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honor of my majesty?”
Daniel 4:31	The words still in the mouth of the king, a voice from heaven fell: “To you it is spoken, Nebuchadnezzar the king: The kingdom has passed away from you!
Daniel 4:32	And they shall drive you away from men, and your dwelling [shall be] with the beasts of the field; they shall make you eat you grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you, until when you come to know that the Most High [is] ruling over the kingdom of man, and to whom that He chooses, He gives it.”
Daniel 4:33	At that moment the word was fulfilled concerning Nebuchadnezzar, and he was driven from men, and he ate grass like oxen, and with the dew of heaven his body became wet, until his hair had grown as eagles, and his nails as birds.
Daniel 4:34	And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returned to me, and to the Most High I offered blessing, and to the One Living forever I gave praise and honor: “For His dominion [is] a dominion everlasting, and His kingdom [is] from generation to generation;
Daniel 4:35	and all those dwelling in the earth are regarded as nothing, and He does according to His will among the host of the heaven and those dwelling in the earth; and there is no one who can strike on His hand or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’”
Daniel 4:36	At that time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me; and my counselors and nobles sought for me, and to my kingdom I was restored, and surpassing greatness was added to me.
Daniel 4:37	Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, [for] whom all His works [are] true, and His ways justice, and those who walk about in pride, He is able to bring low.
Daniel 5:1	Belshazzar the king made a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and before the thousand he was drinking wine.
Daniel 5:2	Belshazzar commanded during the tasting of the wine to bring the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple that [was] in Jerusalem, so that they might drink from them—the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines.
Daniel 5:3	So they brought the vessels of gold that had been taken from the temple of the house of God that [was] in Jerusalem, and they drank from them—the king and his lords, his wives and his concubines.
Daniel 5:4	They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze and iron, wood and stone.
Daniel 5:5	At that moment appeared the fingers of the hand of a man, and they were writing over against of the lampstand upon the plaster of the wall of the palace of the king. And the king saw the palm of the hand that was writing.
Daniel 5:6	Then the king, his countenance changed [about] him, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked, this against this.
Daniel 5:7	The king called out with strength to bring in the enchanters, the astrologers, and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon that, “Any man who can read this writing and show to me its interpretation, with purple he shall be clothed, and a chain of gold [shall be] around his neck, and [as] the third in the kingdom he shall rule!”
Daniel 5:8	Then all the wise men of the king came in, and they were not able to read the writing or to make known its interpretation to the king.
Daniel 5:9	Then King Belshazzar was greatly dismayed, and his countenance was changed about him, so that his nobles were perplexed.
Daniel 5:10	The queen, because of the words of the king and his nobles, came to the house of the banquet. The queen answered and said, “O king, may you live forever. Do not let your thoughts trouble you, and do not let your countenance change.
Daniel 5:11	There is a man in your kingdom, in whom [is] the Spirit of the holy gods. In the days of your father, light and insight and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. And King Nebuchadnezzar your father, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, [and] diviners—your father the king—
Daniel 5:12	all because that an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, the interpreting of dreams, and the solution of riddles, and explaining enigmas, were found in him—in [this] Daniel, whom the king had set [as] his name Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.”
Daniel 5:13	Then Daniel was brought [in] before the king. The king answered and said to Daniel, “[Are] you he, the Daniel who [is] from the sons of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought from Judah?
Daniel 5:14	And I have heard about you, that the spirit of the gods [is] in you, and light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.
Daniel 5:15	And the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought before me that they might read this writing and make known to me its interpretation, and they are not able to show the interpretation of the matter.
Daniel 5:16	And I have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and to loosen knots; now, if you are able to read this writing and to make known to me its interpretation, you will be clothed in purple, and a chain of gold [shall be] around your neck, and [as] the third in the kingdom you shall rule!”
Daniel 5:17	Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “Your gifts, let them be for yourself, and may you give your rewards to another; nevertheless, the writing I will read to the king, and the interpretation I will make known to him.
Daniel 5:18	You, O king—God Most High gave the kingdom, and the majesty, and the glory, and the honor, to Nebuchadnezzar your father.
Daniel 5:19	And because of the majesty that He gave to him, all peoples, nations, and languages came to be trembling and fearful from before him. Whomever he would be willing, he would be slaying; and whomever he would be willing, he would be keeping alive; and whomever he would be willing, he would be raising up; and whomever he would be willing, he would be bringing low.
Daniel 5:20	And when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened to be proud, he was brought down from the throne of his kingship, and they took away his glory from him.
Daniel 5:21	And he was driven away from the sons of men, and his heart was made like with the beast, and with the wild donkeys [was] his dwelling; they fed him grass like oxen, and with the dew of heaven his body became wet, until that he came to know that God Most High [is] ruling over the kingdom of men, and whomever that He chooses, He establishes over it.
Daniel 5:22	And you, his son, O Belshazzar, you have not humbled your heart, all even though all of this you knew,
Daniel 5:23	and against the Lord of heaven you have lifted yourself up. And the vessels of His house they have brought before you, and you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines, have been drinking wine from them. And to the gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which do not see, and do not hear, and do not have knowledge, you have given praise. And to the God in whose hand [is] your breath, and all your ways [are] to Him, you have not shown honor!
Daniel 5:24	Then from before Him were sent the fingers of the hand, and this inscription was written.
Daniel 5:25	And this [is] the inscription that was written: Mene, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN.
Daniel 5:26	This [is] the interpretation of each word: Mene—God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to an end!
Daniel 5:27	Tekel—you have been weighed in the balances and found lacking!
Daniel 5:28	Peres—your kingdom has been divided and given to the Mede and Persian!”
Daniel 5:29	Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel in purple, and a chain of gold around his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel 5:30	That night Belshazzar king of the Chaldeans was slain;
Daniel 5:31	and Darius the Mede received the kingdom, a son of sixty-two years.
Daniel 6:1	It was acceptable before Darius, and he established over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who would be over all the kingdom;
Daniel 6:2	and over them three administrators, of whom Daniel [was] one, that these satraps should be giving [an] account of themselves, so that the king should not be suffering loss.
Daniel 6:3	Then this Daniel came to be distinguished over the administrators and the satraps, because that an extraordinary spirit [was] in him; and the king was planning to establish him over all of the kingdom.
Daniel 6:4	Then the administrators and the satraps were looking for a matter to find against Daniel regarding the kingdom, and any matter or corruption they were not able to find, all because that he [was] trustworthy, and there was not found any neglect or corruption in him.
Daniel 6:5	Then these men said that, “We shall not find against this Daniel any charge, unless we find [it] against him concerning the law of his God.”
Daniel 6:6	Then these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king, and thus they said to him: “O King Darius, may you live forever!
Daniel 6:7	Have consulted together all the administrators of the kingdom—the administrators and the satraps, the counselors and the advisors—to establish a statute of the king and to make firm a decree that anyone who makes a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.
Daniel 6:8	Now, O king, may you establish this decree and sign the writing, so that it cannot be changed according to the law of the Mede and Persian, which shall not pass away!”
Daniel 6:9	All because of this, King Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Daniel 6:10	And Daniel, when he came to know that the writing was signed, he went to his house, and the windows were opened unto him in his upper room toward Jerusalem; and three times in a day he would kneel down on his knees and pray and give thanks before his God, as was his custom from before this.
Daniel 6:11	Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Daniel 6:12	Then they went and spoke before the king concerning the decree of the king: “Did you not sign a decree that every man who makes a petition of any god or man up to thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” The king answered and said, “Certain [is] the word, according to the law of the Mede and Persian, which shall not pass away.”
Daniel 6:13	Then they answered and said before the king that, “Daniel, who [is] from the sons of the captivity of Judah, he does not set on you, O king, regard, or on the decree that you have signed, and three times in a day he makes his petition.”
Daniel 6:14	Then the king, when he heard these words, was greatly displeased with himself, and he set [his] heart on Daniel to deliver him; and until the going down of the sun he was exerting himself to rescue him.
Daniel 6:15	Then these men went as a group upon the king, and were saying to the king: “Know, O king, that [it is] the law of the Mede and Persian that any decree or statute that the king establishes cannot be changed.”
Daniel 6:16	Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and they cast [him] into the den of lions. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God, to whom you give service continually, may He deliver you.”
Daniel 6:17	And one stone was brought and was laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his signet ring and with the signets of his nobles, that the matter might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Daniel 6:18	Then the king went to his palace, and spent the night fasting, and entertainments were not brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
Daniel 6:19	Then the king arose in the morning at daylight, and he went in haste to the den of lions.
Daniel 6:20	And at his coming near to the den, to Daniel, with a pained voice he cried out. The king was speaking and saying to Daniel, “O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God, to whom you give service continually, has He been able to deliver you from the lions?”
Daniel 6:21	Then Daniel said to the king, “O king, may you live forever!
Daniel 6:22	My God sent His angel, and he shut the mouth of the lions, and they have not hurt me, because that before Him was found innocence for me! And also before you, O king, I have not done wrong.”
Daniel 6:23	Then the king was exceedingly glad himself, and he commanded for Daniel to be brought up from the den. And Daniel was brought up from the den, and not any harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
Daniel 6:24	And the king commanded, and they brought these men who had sought to eat to pieces Daniel, and they cast [them] into the den of lions—they, their children, and their wives—and they had not reached to the bottom of the den when the lions overpowered them, and all their bones they broke in pieces.
Daniel 6:25	Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages who were dwelling in all the earth: “May peace to you⁺ abound!
Daniel 6:26	From before me is set forth a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom they are to be trembling and fearful from before the God of Daniel, for He [is] the living God, and enduring forever, and His kingdom [is] that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion [is] to the end!
Daniel 6:27	He delivers and rescues, and He works signs and wonders in heaven and on the earth—He who has delivered Daniel from the hand of the lions.”
Daniel 6:28	And this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniel 7:1	In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the sum of the matters.
Daniel 7:2	Daniel answered and said: “I was looking in my vision at night, and behold, four winds of the heavens were stirring up the great sea.
Daniel 7:3	And four great beasts were coming up from the sea, changing this one from this one.
Daniel 7:4	The first [was] like a lion, [with] wings of an eagle unto it. I was looking until that its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and it was made to stand on two feet like a man, and a heart of man was given to it.
Daniel 7:5	And behold, another beast, a second, being like a bear, and to one side it was raised up, and three ribs [were] in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, ‘Arise, devour much flesh!’
Daniel 7:6	After this, I was looking, and behold, another, like a leopard, and unto it [were] four wings of a bird on its back, and four heads [were] unto the beast, and dominion was given to it.
Daniel 7:7	After this, I was looking in [my] visions of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, being fearsome and terrible and exceedingly strong. Great teeth of iron [were] unto it; it was devouring and breaking in pieces, and it was trampling the remainder with its feet; and it [was] different from all the beasts that [were] before it, and ten horns [were] unto it.
Daniel 7:8	I was giving consideration to these horns, and behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted from before it. And behold, the eyes [were] like the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:9	I was looking, until that thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of His head [was] was like pure wool. His throne [was] [as] flames of fire, [and] its wheels were burning fire;
Daniel 7:10	A river of fire was flowing and coming forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him, and myriads upon myriads stood before Him; the judgment was seated, and books were opened.
Daniel 7:11	I was looking then, because of the voice of the great words that the horn was speaking; I was looking until that the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and was given to the burning flame.
Daniel 7:12	And the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; and an extension in life was given to them for a season and a time.
Daniel 7:13	I was looking in [my] visions of the night, and behold, upon the clouds of heaven, One like the Son of Man was coming, and to the Ancient of Days he reached, and before Him they brought Him near.
Daniel 7:14	And to him was given dominion, and honor, and a kingdom, so that all the peoples, nations, and languages should give service to him; his dominion [is] a dominion everlasting, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom [is one] that shall not be destroyed!
Daniel 7:15	My spirit was grieved—I, Daniel—in the midst of [my] body, and the visions of my head alarmed me.
Daniel 7:16	I came near to one of those standing there, and I asked of him the truth about all this. And he told [it] to me, and the interpretation of these things he made known to me.
Daniel 7:17	‘These great beasts, of which they [are] four, [are] four kings who will arise from the earth.
Daniel 7:18	And the saints will receive the kingdom of the Most High, and they will possess the kingdom to the age, and to the age of Ages!’
Daniel 7:19	Then I wished to know about the fourth beast, which was different from them all, exceedingly fearsome, [with] its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, devouring, breaking into pieces, and trampling the remainder with its feet,
Daniel 7:20	and about the ten horns that [were] on its head, and the other that came up, and [how] fell from before it three, and this horn with eyes unto it, and a mouth speaking great things, and its appearance greater than its companions.
Daniel 7:21	I was looking, and this horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
Daniel 7:22	until that the Ancient of Days came and judgment was made for the saints of the Most High, and the time was reached for the saints to possess the kingdom.
Daniel 7:23	Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms; It will devour all the earth, and will trample it, and break it in pieces.
Daniel 7:24	And the ten horns: From the kingdom, ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the former, and three kings he will bring low.
Daniel 7:25	And he will speak words against the Most High, and the saints of the Most High he will wear out, and he will intend to change the times and the law; they will be given into his hand for a time, and times, and half a time.
Daniel 7:26	And the judgment will be seated, and his dominion they will take away, to devastate and to destroy [it] to the end.
Daniel 7:27	And the kingdom, and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under all the heavens shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; His kingdom [is] a kingdom everlasting, and all dominions will serve and will obey Him.’
Daniel 7:28	Even to this [is] end the of the matter. I, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed about me, and I kept the matter in my heart.”
Daniel 8:1	In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king, a vision appeared to me—I, Daniel—after that which had appeared to me at the first.
Daniel 8:2	And I saw in the vision; and it was, in my looking, that I [was] in Susa the citadel, which [is] in Elam the province. And I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai.
Daniel 8:3	And I lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold! One ram was standing at the face of the river, and unto it [were] two horns; and the two horns [were] high, and one [was] higher than the second, and the higher one came up later.
Daniel 8:4	I saw the ram charging to the west, and to the north, and to the south; and all living creatures could not stand before him, and there was no one to deliver from his hand; and he did according to his will, and he became great.
Daniel 8:5	And I was considering, and behold, a male of the goats was coming from the west, over the face of all the earth, and without touching on the ground, and the goat [had] a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
Daniel 8:6	And he came to the ram, owner of the two horns, which I had seen standing at the face of the river, and he ran toward him with the fury of his power.
Daniel 8:7	And I saw him coming close beside the ram, and he was enraged at him, and he struck the ram and broke the two of his horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before his face, and he cast him down to the ground and trampled him, and there was no one to deliver the ram from his hand.
Daniel 8:8	And the male of the goats grew as far as exceedingly, and with his becoming mighty, the large horn was broken, and came up four conspicuous ones in place of it, toward the four winds of the heavens.
Daniel 8:9	And from the one of them came forth one little horn, and it grew great exceedingly toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.
Daniel 8:10	And he grew up to the host of the heavens, and he cast down to the ground some of the host, and some of the stars, and he trampled them.
Daniel 8:11	And to the Prince of the host he became great, and from Him was taken away the daily sacrifice, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel 8:12	And an army will be given over, along with the daily sacrifice, because of transgression, and he will cast down truth to the ground; and he will act, and will prosper.
Daniel 8:13	And I heard one holy one speaking; one holy one said to the one [who] was speaking, “Until when [is] the vision of the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, the giving over of both the sanctuary and of the host to be trampled?”
Daniel 8:14	And he said to me: “Until two thousand and three hundred evenings [and] mornings—then the sanctuary will be made right.”
Daniel 8:15	And it came to pass in my seeing—I, Daniel—the vision I sought understanding, that behold, one having the appearance of a man was standing before me.
Daniel 8:16	And I heard the voice of [a] man between the Ulai, and he called out and said, “Gabriel, to this one give understanding of the vision.”
Daniel 8:17	And he came alongside my station; and at his coming, I was afraid, and fell on my face. And he said to me, “Understand, O son of man, that regarding the time of the end [is] the vision.”
Daniel 8:18	And at his speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. And he touched me and stood me on my station.
Daniel 8:19	And he said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will come to be at the latter end of the indignation, for it concerns the appointed time of the end.
Daniel 8:20	The ram that you saw, owner of the two horns, [are] the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:21	And the male goat [is] the king of Javan, and the large horn that [is] between his eyes is the first king.
Daniel 8:22	And the broken one, and that arose the four in its place, [is] four kingdoms from that nation that will rise up, and not with its power.
Daniel 8:23	And in the latter time of their reign, at the completion of those transgressing, there will arise a king, strong of face and understanding riddles;
Daniel 8:24	and his power will be mighty—not by his power—and marvelously He will destroy, and he will prosper in what he does, and He will destroy the mighty ones and the people the holy ones.
Daniel 8:25	And by his cunning he will also make prosper deceit under his hand, and in his heart he will magnify himself. And when at ease he will destroy many; and against the Prince of princes he will rise, and without human hand he will be broken.
Daniel 8:26	And the vision of the evenings and the mornings that was told is true; and you, seal up the vision, for [it is] after many days.”
Daniel 8:27	And I, Daniel, was overcome and was sick for days. And I rose and went about the business of the king; and I was appalled by the vision, and [it was] not understood.
Daniel 9:1	In the first year of Darius son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans—
Daniel 9:2	in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of the years that, according to the word of YHWH, must be to Jeremiah the prophet to bring fulfillment to the desolations of Jerusalem: Seventy years.
Daniel 9:3	And I set my face toward the Lord God to seek [by] prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
Daniel 9:4	And I prayed to YHWH my God, and I made confession and said: “O Lord God, the great and fearsome One, the One keeping the covenant and the loving devotion to those loving Him and those keeping His commandments.
Daniel 9:5	We have sinned and we have done wrong, and we have been wicked and we have rebelled and turned aside from Your precepts and Your ordinances.
Daniel 9:6	And we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, those who spoke in Your name to our kings, and our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Daniel 9:7	Unto You, O Lord, [is] the righteousness, and unto us [is] shame of face, as [on] this day, to the men of Judah, and to those dwelling in Jerusalem, and to all of Israel—those near, and those far off—in all the lands to which You have driven them there because of their unfaithfulness with which they were unfaithful to You!
Daniel 9:8	O YHWH, unto us [is] shame of face—to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers—because we have sinned against You.
Daniel 9:9	Unto the Lord our God [are] compassion and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against Him,
Daniel 9:10	and we did not listen to the voice of YHWH our God, to walk in His laws that He gave before our faces by the hand of His servants the prophets.
Daniel 9:11	And all Israel has transgressed Your law, turning aside not to listen to Your voice. And has been poured out on us the oath and the curse that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.
Daniel 9:12	And He has made stand His word, which He spoke against us and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us great calamity—which has not been done under all the heavens, like what has been done to Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:13	As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us, we have pleaded and not before the face of YHWH our God, to turn back from our iniquity, and to gain discernment of Your truth.
Daniel 9:14	And YHWH has kept watch over the calamity, and has brought it upon us, for righteous [is] YHWH our God in all His deeds that He does, and we have not listened to His voice.
Daniel 9:15	And now, O Lord our God, who brought out Your people from the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and made for Yourself a name as [on] this day, we have sinned; we have acted wickedly.
Daniel 9:16	O Lord, according to all Your righteousness, let be turned back, please, Your anger and Your fury from Your city Jerusalem, the mountain of Your holiness! For because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people [are] a reproach to all around us.
Daniel 9:17	And now, listen, our God, to the prayer of Your servant and to his supplications, and cause to shine Your face on Your sanctuary that [is] desolate—for the sake of the Lord!
Daniel 9:18	Incline, O my God, Your ear, and hear; open Your eyes, and see our desolations and the city upon which Your name is called. For [it is] not because of our righteous acts [that] we are letting fall our supplications before Your face, but because of Your many mercies.
Daniel 9:19	O Lord, may You hear! O Lord, may You forgive! O Lord, may You be attentive and act! Do not delay, for Your sake, O my God, for Your name is called upon Your city and upon Your people!”
Daniel 9:20	And still I [was] speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and letting fall my supplication before YHWH my God over the holiness of the mountain of my God—
Daniel 9:21	and still I [was] speaking in prayer, when the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, was flying swiftly, reaching to me at the time of the sacrifice of the evening.
Daniel 9:22	And he gave understanding and spoke with me, and he said, “O Daniel, now I have come forth to give you insight [for] understanding.
Daniel 9:23	At the beginning of your supplications, the command went forth, and I have come to declare [it], for you [are] precious. And understand the word and understand the vision.
Daniel 9:24	Seventy sevens are determined for your people and for the city of your holiness, to finish the transgression, and to seal off sin, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in righteousness everlasting, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.
Daniel 9:25	And you shall know and you shall understand [that] from the going forth of the word to return and to rebuild Jerusalem, until Messiah, a Prince—seven sevens; and sixty and two sevens: it will return and it will be built—street and trench—and in distress of the times!
Daniel 9:26	And after sixty and two sevens, Messiah will be cut off, and not for Him. And the people of the leader who is coming will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end [is] in a flood, and until the end, war [and] desolations are determined.
Daniel 9:27	And he will make strong a covenant with the many for one seven; and in the middle of the seven the sacrifice and offering he will make cease, and on a wing of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, until the consummation that is decreed is poured out on the one bringing desolation.
Daniel 10:1	In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, of whom his name is called Belteshazzar. And the word [was] true and the conflict great; and he understood the word, and understanding of the vision [was] unto him.
Daniel 10:2	In those days, I, Daniel, was mourning [for] three weeks of days.
Daniel 10:3	Desirable food I did not eat, and meat and wine did not come into my mouth, and I did not anoint myself at all until the fulfilling of three weeks of days.
Daniel 10:4	And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was on the side of the great river—it [is] the Tigris—
Daniel 10:5	and I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, one man clothed in linen, and his loins girded with gold of Uphaz.
Daniel 10:6	And his body [was] like beryl, and his face like the appearance of lightning, and his eyes like torches of fire, and his arms and feet like an eye of polished bronze, and the voice of his speaking [was] like the voice of a multitude.
Daniel 10:7	And I saw—I, Daniel, by myself—the vision: For the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them and they fled to hide themselves.
Daniel 10:8	And I was left by myself, and I saw this great vision; and no power was left in me, for my complexion was turned in me to deathly pale, and I did not retain strength.
Daniel 10:9	And I heard the voice of his speaking; and at my hearing the voice of his speaking, I was sleeping deeply on my face, and my face to the ground.
Daniel 10:10	And behold, a hand touched me, and it set me trembling on my knees and the palms of my hands.
Daniel 10:11	And he said to me: “O Daniel, man most precious, may you have understanding of the words that I am speaking to you, and may you stand upon your station, for now I have been sent to you.” And in his speaking with me this word, I stood trembling.
Daniel 10:12	And he said to me: “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you gave your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words.
Daniel 10:13	And the prince of the kingdom of Persia was standing in front of me [for] twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there alongside the kings of Persia.
Daniel 10:14	And I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for yet the vision [is] for those days.”
Daniel 10:15	And at his speaking with me these words, I turned my face to the ground, and I became speechless.
Daniel 10:16	And behold, one with the likeness of the sons of man was touching upon my lips. And I opened my mouth and spoke, and said to the one standing before me, “My lord. Because of the vision, have turned over my pains upon me, and I retain no strength.
Daniel 10:17	And how is the servant of such as my lord able to speak with such as my lord? And for me, from now there remains in me no strength, and breath has not been left in me.”
Daniel 10:18	And he continued and touched me, the one with the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.
Daniel 10:19	And he said, “Do not fear, O man most precious! Peace [be] with you! Be strong, and be strong.” And at his speaking with me, I was strengthened, and said: “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”
Daniel 10:20	And he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? Now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Javan will come.
Daniel 10:21	Truly I will declare to you what is inscribed in the Book of Truth, and there is no one strengthening himself with me against these, but only Michael your⁺ prince.
Daniel 11:1	[“] And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, my standing [is] for a strengthener and for a stronghold to him.
Daniel 11:2	And now I declare to you the truth: Behold, yet three kings will be rising up in Persia; and the fourth will be rich, [with] greater riches than all. And according to his strength by his riches, he will rouse everyone against the kingdom of Javan.
Daniel 11:3	And a mighty king will arise, and he will rule [with] great dominion, and he will do according to his will.
Daniel 11:4	And according to his standing, his kingdom will be broken up and will be divided to the four winds of the heavens, not to his posterity, and not according to his dominion by which he ruled; for his kingdom will be uprooted, and unto others apart from these.
Daniel 11:5	And the king of the south will become strong, and one from his princes and will gain strength even over him, and he will rule; a great dominion [is] his dominion.
Daniel 11:6	And at the end of years they will be united. And the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement; she will not retain the strength of her arm, and neither will he stand, [nor] his arm. And she will be given up, and those who brought her, and the one who begat her, and the one who strengthened her in those times.
Daniel 11:7	And one will arise from a branch of her roots in his place. And he will come with an army, and he will come into the fortress of the king of the north, and he will deal with them and he will prevail.
Daniel 11:8	And even their gods, with their princes, with the vessels of their desiring, silver and gold, he will carry away into captivity to Egypt. And he will stand back [some] years from the king of the north,
Daniel 11:9	and he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, and he will return to his own land.
Daniel 11:10	And his sons will stir up strife, and they will gather a multitude of great forces, and it will keep coming coming [continually], and will flow over and pass through, and it will return and carry the war as far as his fortress.
Daniel 11:11	And the king of the south will be enraged, and he will go out and fight with him, with the king of the north; and he will raise up a great multitude, and the multitude will be given into his hand.
Daniel 11:12	And he has taken away the multitude, and his heart will be lifted up; and thousands he will cause to fall, and he will not prevail.
Daniel 11:13	For the king of the north will return, and he will raise a multitude greater than the first; at the end of the times of years, he will come forcefully with a great army and with many supplies.
Daniel 11:14	And in those times, many will rise up against the king of the south; and sons of violence among your people will exalt themselves to fulfill the vision, and they will fall.
Daniel 11:15	And the king of the north will come, and he will build a siege mound, and he will capture a city of fortifications; and the forces of the south will not stand; even their best troops [will have] no strength to stand.
Daniel 11:16	And the one coming against him will do according to his will, and no one will stand before his face; and he will stand in the land of glory, with destruction in his hand.
Daniel 11:17	And he will set his face to enter with the strength of all his kingdom, and upright ones with him; and he will act, and the daughter of women he will give to him, to corrupt her, and she will not stand and she will not be for him.
Daniel 11:18	And he will turn back his face to the coastlands, and he will capture many, and a prince will bring to an end the scorn unto him. Nevertheless his scorn he will cause to turn back to him.
Daniel 11:19	And he will turn his face toward the fortress of his own land, and he will stumble and fall, and he will not be found.
Daniel 11:20	And there will arise upon his station one making pass through a pressing [for] the splendor of the kingdom; and in a few days he will be broken, though not in anger and not in battle.
Daniel 11:21	And will arise upon his station a despicable one, and they will not give upon him the splendor of royalty, and he will come in a time of ease and will seize the kingdom by flatteries.
Daniel 11:22	And the arms of the flood will be swept away from before him, and they will be broken, and also the prince of the covenant.
Daniel 11:23	And after they join with him, he will act with deceit, for he will come up and become strong with a small number of people.
Daniel 11:24	In a time of ease, he will enter the richest provinces, and he will do what his fathers have not done, [nor] the fathers of his fathers: Plunder and spoils and riches he will disperse unto them. And against the fortifications he will devise his plans, and only for a time.
Daniel 11:25	And he will rouse his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south will be stirred up to battle, even exceedingly with a great and mighty army, and he will not stand, for they will devise plans against him.
Daniel 11:26	And those eating of of his choice portion will destroy him, and his army will be swept away, and many will fall slain.
Daniel 11:27	And the two, kings, their heart [is] on evil. At a common table they speak lies, and it will not prosper, for still the end [is] at the appointed time.
Daniel 11:28	And he will return to his land with great riches, and his heart [will be] against the covenant of holiness; and he will act, and he will return to his own land.
Daniel 11:29	At the appointed time he will return, and he will come into the south; and this last time will not be like the first.
Daniel 11:30	For the ships of Kittim will come against him, and he will be disheartened, and he will return, being angered against the covenant of holiness. And he will act, and he will turn back, and he will pay attention to those forsaking the holy covenant.
Daniel 11:31	And forces from him will stand, and they will profane the sanctuary [and] the fortress, and they will turn away the daily sacrifice, and they will set up the abomination of desolation.
Daniel 11:32	And those acting wickedly toward the covenant he will corrupt by flatteries; and the people [who] know their God will remain strong, and will take action.
Daniel 11:33	And those acting prudently among the people will bring understanding to many; and they will fall by sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by plunder, for days.
Daniel 11:34	And in their falling, they will be helped with a little help. And many will be joined to them with flatteries,
Daniel 11:35	and some of understanding will fall, in order to refine them and to purify, and to make [them] white, until the time of the end. For [it is] yet for the appointed time.
Daniel 11:36	And the king will act according to his desires, and he will exalt and magnify himself over every god, and he will speak blasphemies against the God of gods. And he will prosper until the wrath is accomplished, for what is decreed will be done.
Daniel 11:37	And to the God of his fathers he will not pay attention, or to for the one desired by women. And he will not pay attention to any god, for he will magnify himself above [them] all.
Daniel 11:38	And he will show honor to a god of fortresses in their place, and he will show honor to a god that his fathers did not know, with gold, and with silver, and with precious stones, and with desirable [things].
Daniel 11:39	And he will act against the fortifications of strongholds with a foreign god. On those who acknowledge him, he will increase glory and make [them] to rule over many; and the land he will divide at a price.
Daniel 11:40	And at the time of the end, the king of the south will thrust against him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he will come into the lands, and will flow over and pass through.
Daniel 11:41	And he will come into the land of glory; and many will be overthrown, and these will escape from his hand: Edom, and Moab, and the first [part] of the sons of Ammon.
Daniel 11:42	And he will stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt will not be for an escape.
Daniel 11:43	And he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and Cushites [will be] in his steps.
Daniel 11:44	And news will disturb him from the east and from the north, and he will go forth with great fury to destroy and to devote to destruction many.
Daniel 11:45	And he will plant the tents of his palace between the seas, to the mountain of the beauty of holiness; and he will come to his end, and no one will help him.
Daniel 12:1	[“] And at that time Michael the great prince will stand up, the one standing over the sons of your people. And there will be a time of distress, which has not come to be, from coming to be a nation until that time; and at that time your people will be delivered, everyone being found written in the book.
Daniel 12:2	And many of those sleeping in the soil of the dust will awake—these to life everlasting, and these to shame [and] contempt everlasting.
Daniel 12:3	And those acting wisely will shine like the shining of the firmament; and those justifying many like the stars, forever and ever.
Daniel 12:4	And you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam about, and knowledge will multiply.”
Daniel 12:5	And I looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others were standing, one here on the lip of the river, and one here on the lip of the river.
Daniel 12:6	And one said to the man clothed in linen, who [was] above the waters of the river, “Until when [is] the end of these wonders?”
Daniel 12:7	And I heard the man clothed in linen, who [was] above the waters of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to the heavens, and he swore by the One living forever that [it shall be] for a time, times, and a half; and with the completing of the shattering of the hand of the people of holiness, all these [things] will be completed.
Daniel 12:8	And I heard, and I did not understand; and I said, “My lord, what [is] the end of these?”
Daniel 12:9	And he said, “Go, Daniel, for the words [are] shut up and sealed until the time of the end.
Daniel 12:10	Many will be purified, be made white, and be refined, and the wicked will act wickedly; and not any of the wicked will understand, but the wise ones will understand.
Daniel 12:11	And from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up [will be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Daniel 12:12	Blessed [is] the one waiting and [who] reaches to the days—a thousand, three hundred, thirty-five.
Daniel 12:13	And you, go until the end; for you will rest, and you will stand to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
Hosea 1:1	The word of YHWH that came to Hosea son of Beeri in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea 1:2	The beginning when YHWH [first] spoke by Hosea, YHWH said to Hosea, “Go take for yourself a wife of prostitution, and children of prostitution, for the land is flagrantly prostituting itself from after YHWH!”
Hosea 1:3	And he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived and bore to him a son.
Hosea 1:4	And YHWH said to him: “Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little and I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and I will bring to an end the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Hosea 1:5	And it will come to pass in that day [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.”
Hosea 1:6	And [his wife] conceived again, and she bore a daughter. And He said to him: “Call her name Lo-ruhamah, for no longer will I continue [to] have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever lift the for them.
Hosea 1:7	And [on] the house of Judah I will have compassion, and I will save them, by YHWH their God; I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by battle, by horses, or by horsemen.”
Hosea 1:8	And she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, and she conceived and bore a son.
Hosea 1:9	And He said, “Call his name Lo-ammi, for you⁺ [are] not My people, and I am not unto you⁺!
Hosea 1:10	And the number of the sons of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured and cannot be counted; and it will come to pass, in the place where it was said to them, ‘You⁺ [are] not My people,’ it will be said of them, ‘Sons of the living God.’
Hosea 1:11	And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one head, and they will go up from the land, for great [will be] the day of Jezreel.
Hosea 2:1	[“] Say of your⁺ brothers, ‘Ammi,’ and of your⁺ sisters, ‘Ruhamah.’
Hosea 2:2	Plead with your⁺ mother—plead, for she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her Husband—that she might turn aside her prostitution from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts,
Hosea 2:3	lest I strip her naked, and expose her like the day of her being born, and make her like the desert, and set her like a parched land, and kill her with thirst!
Hosea 2:4	And I will not show compassion [to] her children, for they [are] sons of prostitution.
Hosea 2:5	For their mother has been a prostitute; she who conceived them has acted shamefully, for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, those giving [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.’
Hosea 2:6	Therefore, behold, I am hedging up your path with thorns; and I will wall her up with a wall, so her paths she cannot find.
Hosea 2:7	And she will pursue her lovers, and she will not overtake them; she will seek them, and she will not find [them]. She will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for [it was] better for me then than now!’
Hosea 2:8	And she did not know that I gave to her the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied for her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.
Hosea 2:9	Therefore I will return, and I will take away My grain in its time, and My new wine in its season; and I will snatch away My wool and My linen to cover her nakedness!
Hosea 2:10	And now I will uncover her lewdness before the eyes of her lovers, and no man will deliver her from My hand.
Hosea 2:11	And I will make cease all her rejoicing—her feast, her New Moon, and her Sabbath, and all her appointed feasts.
Hosea 2:12	And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, “My wages, they [are] for me that which my lovers have given to me.” I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
Hosea 2:13	And I will visit punishment on her for the days of the Baals, to which she burned incense and adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers—and Me she forgot,” a declaration of YHWH.
Hosea 2:14	“Therefore, behold, I am enticing her, and I will bring her into the desert, and I have spoken upon her heart.
Hosea 2:15	And I will give to her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor as a door of hope; and she will sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day of her coming up from the land of Egypt.
Hosea 2:16	And it will come to pass on that day, a declaration of YHWH, “[That] you will call out ‘My Ishi,’ and no longer will you call Me ‘My Baal.’
Hosea 2:17	For I will take the names of the Baals from her mouth, and no longer will they be remembered by their name.
Hosea 2:18	And I will make for them a covenant on that day, with the beasts of the field and with the birds of the heavens, and [with] the creeping things of the ground. And bow and sword and battle I will break off from the earth, and I will make them lie down in safety.
Hosea 2:19	And I will betroth you to Me forever; and I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in justice, and with loving devotion, and with compassion.
Hosea 2:20	And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness, and you will know YHWH.
Hosea 2:21	And it will come to pass in that day [that] I will answer,” a declaration of YHWH, “I will answer the heavens, and they will answer the earth;
Hosea 2:22	and the earth will answer with the grain, and with the new wine, and with the oil; and they will answer Jezreel,
Hosea 2:23	and I will sow her for Myself in the land, and I will show compassion [to] ‘Lo-ruhama;’ and I will say [to] ‘Lo-ammi,’ ‘You [are] My people,’ and he will say, ‘My God.’”
Hosea 3:1	And YHWH said to me: “Again go, love a woman loved by by another and is committing adultery, according to the love of YHWH [for] the sons of Israel, and they are turning to other gods and are loving the cakes of raisins!”
Hosea 3:2	And I bought her for myself with fifteen [shekels] of silver and a homer of barley and a lethech of barley.
Hosea 3:3	And I said to her: “Many days you will dwell with me; you will not act like a prostitute, and you will not be unto a man; I also toward you.”
Hosea 3:4	For many days the sons of Israel will dwell without king or prince, and without sacrifice or sacred pillar, and without ephod or teraphim.
Hosea 3:5	Afterward the sons of Israel will return, and they will seek YHWH their God and David their king, and they will come trembling to YHWH and to His goodness in the latter days.
Hosea 4:1	Hear the word of YHWH, O sons of Israel, for a case [is] unto YHWH against those dwelling in the land: “For there is no truth, and there is no loving devotion, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.
Hosea 4:2	Cursing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break all restraint, and bloodshed touches upon bloodshed.
Hosea 4:3	Upon thus mourns the land, and languish all dwelling in it; with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens, and even the fish of the sea, they are gathered up.
Hosea 4:4	Only let no man contend and no man rebuke, for your people [are] like those who contend with a priest.
Hosea 4:5	And you will stumble by day, and will stumble also the prophet with you by night, and I will destroy your mother.
Hosea 4:6	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, and I will reject you from being priest unto Me; and you have forgotten the law of your God; I will forget your children also.
Hosea 4:7	According to their becoming numerous, so they sinned against Me; their Glory they exchanged for shame.
Hosea 4:8	The sin of My people they eat up, and toward their iniquity they lift up their soul.
Hosea 4:9	And it will be like people, like priest; and I will visit punishment on them for their ways, and their deeds I will repay to them.
Hosea 4:10	For they will eat, and they will not be satisfied; they will prostitute themselves and not increase, because they have abandoned to give heed to YHWH.
Hosea 4:11	Prostitution and wine and new wine take the heart.
Hosea 4:12	My people consult with a piece of wood, and their staff declares [it] to them; for the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have prostituted themselves from under their God.
Hosea 4:13	On the tops of the mountains they sacrifice, and on the hills they burn incense, under oak and poplar and terebinth, because its shade [is] good. In this [way] your⁺ daughters prostitute themselves, and your⁺ brides commit adultery.
Hosea 4:14	I will not visit punishment on your⁺ daughters when they prostitute themselves, or on your⁺ brides when they commit adultery; for they themselves go off with the prostitutes, and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes, and a people without understanding will be thrown down.
Hosea 4:15	Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, do not let Judah become guilty; and do not come to Gilgal, and do not go up [to] Beth-Aven, and do not swear an oath, ‘As YHWH lives.’
Hosea 4:16	For being stubborn like a heifer, Israel is stubborn; now will YHWH let them graze like a lamb in a broad pasture?
Hosea 4:17	Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
Hosea 4:18	Has turned aside their liquor, they engage in flagrant prostitution; her rulers dearly love love dishonor.
Hosea 4:19	The wind has constrained her in its wings, and they will be ashamed of their sacrifices.
Hosea 5:1	[“] Hear this, O priests! And pay attention, O house of Israel! And house [is] toward you, turn your ear! Indeed unto you⁺ [is] the judgment, because you⁺ have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread out on Tabor.
Hosea 5:2	And into slaughter the rebels are deep; and I will discipline all of them.
Hosea 5:3	I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; for now, you engage in prositution, O Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
Hosea 5:4	Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and YHWH they do not know.
Hosea 5:5	And answers the pride of Israel to his face; and Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also stumbles with them.
Hosea 5:6	With their flocks and herds they will go to seek YHWH, and they will not find; He has withdrawn from them.
Hosea 5:7	To YHWH they were unfaithful, for they have borne strange sons. Now the New Moon will devour them with their portions!
Hosea 5:8	Blow the shofar in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah! Give a shout [in] Beth-Aven; after you, O Benjamin!
Hosea 5:9	Ephraim will become as a desolation on the day of rebuke; among the tribes of Israel I make known what is certain.
Hosea 5:10	The princes of Judah have become like those moving a landmark; on them I will pour out my wrath like the waters.
Hosea 5:11	Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because he was willing to walk after worthless idols.
Hosea 5:12	And I [am] like a moth to Ephraim, and like rot to the house of Judah.
Hosea 5:13	When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Ephraim went to Assyria, and he sent to the great king; and he is not able to bring healing to you⁺, and he cannot remove your⁺ wound.
Hosea 5:14	For I [am] like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I—I, will tear [them] and go away; I will take [them], and no one [is] delivering.
Hosea 5:15	I will go—I will turn back to My place, until that they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; in affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
Hosea 6:1	Come and let us return to YHWH, for He has torn [us], and He will heal us; He has struck [us], and He will bind us up.
Hosea 6:2	He will revive us after two days; on the third on the day He will raise us up, that we may live before His face.
Hosea 6:3	And let us know, let us press on to know YHWH. Like the dawn, His going forth is sure, and He will come like the rain to us, like the spring rain [that] showers the earth.
Hosea 6:4	What will I do to you, O Ephraim? What will I do to you, O Judah? And your⁺ faithfulness is like a cloud of the morning, and like the dew rising [and] going away.
Hosea 6:5	Upon thus, I have hewn [them] by the prophets, I have killed them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth [as] the light!
Hosea 6:6	For I delight in mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God above burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:7	And they, like Adam, transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful with Me.
Hosea 6:8	Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, with a footprint of blood.
Hosea 6:9	Like raiders lying in wait [for] a man [is] the band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely, they have committed wickedness.
Hosea 6:10	In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: There [is] the prostitution of Ephraim; Israel is defiled.
Hosea 6:11	Also, O Judah, a harvest is set for you, in My turning back the captivity of My people.
Hosea 7:1	In My healing of Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they practice deceit, and a thief comes [in]; bandits raid in the street.
Hosea 7:2	And they do not tell their hearts [that] all their evil I remember. Now their deeds have surrounded them; they are before My face.
Hosea 7:3	With their evil they make glad the king, and with their lies—princes.
Hosea 7:4	They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker, who ceases stirring [the fire] after kneading the dough until it [is] leavened.
Hosea 7:5	On the day of our king, the princes became sick, raging from the wine; he stretched out his hand with the mockers.
Hosea 7:6	For they approach; like an oven [is] their heart in ambush; all night their baker is sleeping; in the morning it burns like a fire of flame.
Hosea 7:7	All of them are hot like an oven, and they devour their judges; all their kings have fallen; no one among them calls to Me.
Hosea 7:8	Ephraim, he has mixed himself with the nations; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Hosea 7:9	Strangers have devoured his power, and he does not know; even gray hairs are scattered on him, and he does not know.
Hosea 7:10	And the pride of Israel testifies to his face; they do not return to YHWH their God, they do not seek Him in all this.
Hosea 7:11	And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without sense; to Egypt they call; to Assyria they go.
Hosea 7:12	When they go, I will spread over them My net, like birds of the heavens I will bring them down; I will chastise them according to the report of their congregation.
Hosea 7:13	Woe to them, for they have fled from Me! Destruction [be] to them, because they have transgressed against Me! And though I would redeem them, they have spoken lies against Me.
Hosea 7:14	And they did not cry out to Me with their heart, when they wailed upon their beds; they slash themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against Me.
Hosea 7:15	And I disciplined—I strengthened their arms; against Me they devise evil.
Hosea 7:16	They return, not to the Most High; they are like a bow of slackness; their princes will fall by the sword, from the insolence of their tongue; this [is] their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hosea 8:1	To your mouth [set] the shofar, as an eagle over the house of YHWH, because they have transgressed My covenant, and against My law they have rebelled.
Hosea 8:2	To Me they cry, “O My God, Israel, we know You.”
Hosea 8:3	Israel has rejected the good; an enemy will pursue him.
Hosea 8:4	They set up kings, and not from Me; they made princes, and not ones I knew. With their silver and gold they made for themselves idols, that it might be cut off.
Hosea 8:5	He has rejected your calf, O Samaria; My anger burns against them. Until when will they not be capable of innocence?
Hosea 8:6	For it [is] from Israel. A workman made it, and it [is] not God. Surely the calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
Hosea 8:7	For the wind they sow and they shall reap the whirlwind. The stalk [is] not unto it, a shoot not yielding flour; even if it should produce, strangers would swallow it up!
Hosea 8:8	Israel is swallowed up; now they are among the Gentiles, like a vessel with no delight in it.
Hosea 8:9	For they have gone up to Assyria; a wild donkey isolated by himself; Ephraim, they have hired lovers.
Hosea 8:10	Even though they have hired among the nations, I will now gather them. And they will begin to diminish from the burden of the king of princes.
Hosea 8:11	Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, they have become unto him altars for sinning.
Hosea 8:12	Were I to write for him the myriad [things] of My law, they would be regarded as a strange thing.
Hosea 8:13	The sacrifices of My gifts they sacrifice, [and] the flesh they eat—YHWH does not accept them. Now He has in mind their iniquity, and He will attend to their sins: They will return to Egypt.
Hosea 8:14	And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built palaces, and Judah has multiplied fortified cities; and I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour his palaces.
Hosea 9:1	Do not be glad, O Israel, with rejoicing, like peoples. For you have prostitute yourself against your God; you have made love [for] hire on all the floors of threshing.
Hosea 9:2	The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail in her.
Hosea 9:3	They will not dwell in the land of YHWH, and Ephraim will return to Egypt, and Assyria will eat unclean [things].
Hosea 9:4	They will not pour out wine to YHWH, and their sacrifices they will not be pleasng to Him—like the bread of mourners to them, all those eating it will be defiled. For their bread [is] for their own soul; it will not come [into] the house of YHWH!
Hosea 9:5	What will you⁺ do on the day of the appointed feast, and on the day of the feast of YHWH?
Hosea 9:6	For behold, they go away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up, [and] Memphis will bury them! [And] the preciousness of their silver—the thistles will possess them, thorns in their tents.
Hosea 9:7	The days of punishment have come in; the days of recompense have come in. let Israel knows the prophet [is] a fool, the man of the spirit is insane over the abundance of your iniquity, and the greatness of your hatred.
Hosea 9:8	The prophet, with my God, [is] the one watching Ephraim; a snare of a fowler [is] on all his paths; hostility [is] in the house of his God.
Hosea 9:9	They have sunk deep, corrupting themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity; He will attend to their sins.
Hosea 9:10	Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel; as the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season, I saw your⁺ fathers. They went [to] Baal-peor and dedicated themselves to that shame, and they became as detestable as that which they loved!
Hosea 9:11	Ephraim, like a bird, their glory will fly away from the birth and from the belly and from conceiving.
Hosea 9:12	Even if they bring up their sons, I will bereave them of each man. Yes indeed, woe to them, at My turning away from them!
Hosea 9:13	Ephraim, as I have seen, like Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; and Ephraim will bring out his children to one who slaughters.
Hosea 9:14	Give to them, O YHWH, what will You give? Give to them a womb miscarrying, and breasts [that are] dry.
Hosea 9:15	All their evil [is] in Gilgal, for there I came to hate them, because of the evil of their deeds, I will drive them out from My house. I will not continue to love them; all their princes [are] rebellious.
Hosea 9:16	Ephraim is stricken, their root has withered; they will not bear fruit. Even if they give birth, I will kill the precious ones of their womb.
Hosea 9:17	My God will reject them, because they did not listen to Him, and they will be wanderers among the nations.
Hosea 10:1	Israel [was] a luxuriant vine; he set forth fruit for himself. With the increase of his fruit, he made an increase of the altars; according to the richness of his land, they made rich the sacred pillars.
Hosea 10:2	Their heart has been divided, now they are guilty; He will break down their altars; He will demolish their sacred pillars.
Hosea 10:3	For now they say, “There is no king for us, because we did not fear YHWH; and [as for] the king, what could he do for us?”
Hosea 10:4	They have spoken words, swearing falsely [in] cutting a covenant, and judgment sprouts up like a poison in the furrows of the field.
Hosea 10:5	For the calf of Beth-aven those dwelling in Samaria fear; indeed its people mourn over it, and its idolatrous priests who rejoiced over it, over its glory that has departed from it.
Hosea 10:6	Also it will be carried along to Assyria as tribute to the great king; Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his idol.
Hosea 10:7	Samaria will be cut off [with] her king, like a twig on the face of the water.
Hosea 10:8	The high places of Aven will be destroyed, and the sin of Israel; the thorn and thistle will come up over their altars, and they will say to the mountains, “Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”
Hosea 10:9	From the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel. There they have stood. Did it not overtake them in Gibeah—the battle against the sons of iniquity?
Hosea 10:10	When I desire, I will discipline them; and peoples will be gathered against them, at My disciplining them for the two of their transgressions.
Hosea 10:11	And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer, loving to thresh; and I passed over upon her fair neck; I will drive Ephraim; Judah will plow; Jacob will harrow for him.
Hosea 10:12	Sow for yourselves unto righteousness, [and] reap to the mouth of loving devotion; break up for yourself the fallow ground, for [it is] time to seek YHWH, until He should come and shower righteousness upon you⁺.
Hosea 10:13	You⁺ have plowed wickedness; you⁺ have reaped injustice; you⁺ have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you trusted in your own way, in the multitude of your mighty men,
Hosea 10:14	therefore will arise an uproar among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, like the destruction of Shalman [in] Beth-arbel on the day of battle, when a mother upon [her] children was dashed to pieces.
Hosea 10:15	So may He do to you⁺, O Bethel, from the face of your⁺ great evil; at dawn he will be utterly cut off—the king of Israel!
Hosea 11:1	When Israel [was] a child, I loved him; and out of Egypt I called My son.
Hosea 11:2	And I called to them, so they went away from My face; to the Baals they sacrificed, and to the carved images they burned incense.
Hosea 11:3	And I had guided the feet of Ephraim, taking them by the arms; they did not know that [it was] I [who] healed them.
Hosea 11:4	With cords of humanity I drew them, with bands of love; and I was to them like those lifting the yoke up [from] their jaws, and I bent down to them to let [them] eat.
Hosea 11:5	He will not return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria—it will be his king, because they refused to return.
Hosea 11:6	And the sword will twist through his cities, and will finish off his bars, and will devour their counseling!
Hosea 11:7	And My people are bent on turning away from Me; though to the Most High they call [to] Him, He will not at all exalt them.
Hosea 11:8	How can I give you up, O Ephraim? Can I deliver you up, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? Can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, together My compassions are kindled.
Hosea 11:9	I will not act [in] the burning of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I [am] God, and not a man—the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in enmity.
Hosea 11:10	After YHWH they shall walk; like a lion He will roar; when He roars, the sons from the west will come trembling.
Hosea 11:11	They will come trembling like a bird from Egypt, and like a dove from the land of Assyria, and I will let them dwell in their homes, a declaration of YHWH.
Hosea 11:12	Ephraim has surrounded Me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit, and Judah still wanders restlessly with God, and with the holy ones is faithful.
Hosea 12:1	Ephraim is grazing [on] the wind and pursuing the east wind all the day, he multiplies lies and violence; they cut a covenant with Assyria and oil is carried to Egypt.
Hosea 12:2	A dispute [is] unto YHWH against Judah, to visit punishment on Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds He will recompense to him.
Hosea 12:3	In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his strength he struggled with God.
Hosea 12:4	He struggled with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought favor from Him; at Bethel he found Him, and there He spoke with Him,
Hosea 12:5	and YHWH, God of Hosts—YHWH [is] His memorial.
Hosea 12:6	And you must return to your God; Keep love and justice, and wait for your God continually!
Hosea 12:7	A Canaanite [has] scales of deceit in his hand; he loves to oppress.
Hosea 12:8	And Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich. I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors they will find in me no iniquity that [is] sin.”
Hosea 12:9	And I [am] YHWH your God, from the land of Egypt; again I will make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
Hosea 12:10	And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by the hand of the prophets I have given parables.
Hosea 12:11	If iniquity [is] in Gilead, surely they are worthless; In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls; even their altars [are] as heaps over the furrows of the field.
Hosea 12:12	And Jacob fled to the land of Aram, and Israel worked for a wife, and for a wife he tended.
Hosea 12:13	And by a prophet YHWH brought up Israel from Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept.
Hosea 12:14	Ephraim has provoked to anger bitterly, and his bloodguilt He will leave upon him, and his reproach his Lord will make return to him.
Hosea 13:1	When Ephraim spoke [there was] trembling; he was exalted in Israel, and he became guilty by the Baal, and he died.
Hosea 13:2	And now they add to sin, and have made for themselves molten images idols from their silver according to their skill, the work of craftsmen, all of them. They say of them, “Those who sacrifice man, they will kiss the calves.”
Hosea 13:3	Therefore they will be like the cloud of morning, and like the dew rising early that passes away, like chaff that swirls from the threshing floor, and like smoke from a window.
Hosea 13:4	For I [am] YHWH your God, from the land of Egypt; and you know no gods besides Me, and no one is able to save besides Me!
Hosea 13:5	I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of drought.
Hosea 13:6	At their grazing, they became satisfied; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; upon thus they forgot Me!
Hosea 13:7	And I will become to them like a lion; like a leopard alongside the pathway I will watch.
Hosea 13:8	I will encounter them like a bear bereaved, and I will tear open the enclosure of their heart; there I will devour them like a lion; a beast of the field will tear them apart.
Hosea 13:9	He has destroyed you, O Israel, for [you are] against Me, against your helper!
Hosea 13:10	Where [is] your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your rulers of whom you said, “Give to me a king and princes”?
Hosea 13:11	I gave to you a king in My anger, and I took [him] away in My wrath.
Hosea 13:12	The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is stored up.
Hosea 13:13	The pains of childbirth will come to him; he [is] not a wise a son, for he would not stand at the time for the breaking forth of sons.
Hosea 13:14	I will ransom them from the hand of Sheol; will I redeem them from death. Where [are] your plagues, O Death? Where [is] is your destruction, O Grave? Compassion is hidden from My eyes!
Hosea 13:15	Though he is fruitful among [his] brothers an east wind will come, the wind of YHWH! From the desert [it is] coming up, and his fountain will become dry, and his spring will dry out; it will plunder the treasure of every article of desire.
Hosea 13:16	Samaria is guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword; their infants will be dashed to pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
Hosea 14:1	So return, O Israel, to YHWH your God! For you have stumbled by your iniquity.
Hosea 14:2	Take with you⁺ words, and return to YHWH. Say to Him: “Lift away all iniquity, and receive what is good, and we offer the fruit of our lips.
Hosea 14:3	Assyria cannot save us; we will not ride on horses, and we will not say anymore, ‘Our gods’ to the work of our hands. For in You the fatherless find compassion.”
Hosea 14:4	I will heal their backsliding, I will love them willingly; for My anger has turned back from him.
Hosea 14:5	I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like the lily, and he will strike forth his roots like Lebanon.
Hosea 14:6	His branches will go forth, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and the fragrance unto him like Lebanon.
Hosea 14:7	Those dwelling in his shade will return; they will revive like the grain and blossom like the vine; his memorial [is] as wine of Lebanon.
Hosea 14:8	O Ephraim, what [is] unto me anymore with idols? I have answered and have watched over him. I [am] luxuriant like a cypress; your fruit is found in Me.
Hosea 14:9	Who [is] wise? Let him understand these [things]. [Who is] understanding? Let him know them. For straight [are] the ways of YHWH, and the righteous walk in them, and transgressors stumble in them.
Joel 1:1	The word of YHWH that came to Joel son of Pethuel:
Joel 1:2	Hear this, O elders, and give ear, all dwellers of the land. Has this come to be in your⁺ days, or even in the days of your⁺ fathers?
Joel 1:3	Give account of it to your⁺ sons, and your⁺ sons to their sons, and their sons to the generation after.
Joel 1:4	The remainder of the devouring locust the swarming locust has eaten; and the remainder of the swarming locust the young locust has eaten; and the remainder of the young locust the destroying locust has eaten.
Joel 1:5	Wake up, O drunkards, and weep; wail, all drinkers of wine, over the new wine, for it has been cut off from your⁺ mouth!
Joel 1:6	For a nation has come up against My land, strong and without number; his teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and the fangs of a fierce lion [are] unto him.
Joel 1:7	He has set My vine to waste, and My fig tree to splinter; he has thoroughly stripped off the bark and thrown it away, its branches have become white.
Joel 1:8	Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth over the husband of her youth.
Joel 1:9	The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of YHWH; the priests mourn—those ministering to YHWH.
Joel 1:10	The field is ruined, the land mourns; for the grain is ruined, the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
Joel 1:11	Be ashamed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and over the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
Joel 1:12	The vine has withered and the fig tree has languished; the pomegranate, also the palm tree and the apple tree—all the trees of the field—have dried up. For the joy of the sons of man has withered away.
Joel 1:13	Gird yourselves and lament, O priests; wail, [you] ministering before the altar. Come, lodge in sackcloth, [you] ministering before my God, for it is withheld from the house of your⁺ God—the grain offering and the drink offering.
Joel 1:14	Consecrate a fast, call a solemn assembly! Gather the elders [and] all those dwelling in the land [to] the house of YHWH your⁺ God, and cry out to YHWH.
Joel 1:15	Alas, for the day! For the day of YHWH [is] near, and as destruction from Shaddai, it shall come.
Joel 1:16	Has not before our eyes the food been cut off—from the house of our God joy and rejoicing?
Joel 1:17	The seed shrivels under their clods; the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are torn down, for the grain has withered.
Joel 1:18	How the cattle groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because [there is] no pasture unto them; even the flocks of the sheep suffer punishment.
Joel 1:19	To You, O YHWH, I call out, for fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
Joel 1:20	Even the beasts of the field pant for You, for the channels of water have dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Joel 2:1	Blow the shofar in Zion, and give a shout on the mountain of My holiness! Let all those dwelling in the land tremble, for the day of YHWH is coming; indeed, [it is] near—
Joel 2:2	a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like dawn spreading over the mountains, a people great and strong, the like has not been from of old, and after them will not be again, even to years of generation and generation.
Joel 2:3	Before its face a fire devours, and behind them burns a flame; like the garden of Eden [is] the land before its face, and behind it a wilderness of desolation—and surely nothing shall escape from them.
Joel 2:4	Like the appearance of horses [is] its appearance, and like steeds so they run.
Joel 2:5	As [with] the sound of chariots over the tops of mountains, they leap; like the sound of a flaming fire devouring the stubble, like a strong people arrayed for battle.
Joel 2:6	Before its face the peoples writhe; all faces gather paleness.
Joel 2:7	Like mighty men they run, like men of war they climb the wall, and a man in his ways marches, and they do not swerve [from] their paths.
Joel 2:8	A man [and] his brother do not jostle, each man marches in his path; between the weapon they lunge; they are not cut down.
Joel 2:9	Into the city they rush, on the wall they run; into the houses they come up, [and] at the windows they come [in] like a thief.
Joel 2:10	Before their faces quakes the earth; the heavens quake; the sun and moon grow dark, and the stars withdraw their brightness.
Joel 2:11	And YHWH gives forth His voice before the face of His army, for exceedingly large [is] His camp, for strong [is] the One doing His word, for great [is] the day of YHWH and very fearsome—and who can endure it?
Joel 2:12	“Even now,” a declaration of YHWH, “May you turn to Me with all your⁺ heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
Joel 2:13	And rend your⁺ heart and not your⁺ garments. May you return to YHWH your⁺ God, for He [is] gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, and great in loving devotion, and relenting from harm.
Joel 2:14	Who knows [if] He will turn and relent, and will leave behind Him a blessing—a grain offering and a drink offering for YHWH your⁺ God?
Joel 2:15	Blow the shofar in Zion. Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly.
Joel 2:16	Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the infants and those suckling the breasts; let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her chamber.
Joel 2:17	Between the porch and the altar, let the priests weep, those ministering to YHWH, and let them say, “Have pity, O YHWH, on Your people, and do not give Your heritage to reproach for the ruling over them [by] the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where [is] their God?’”
Joel 2:18	And YHWH will be jealous for His land, and He will have pity on His people.
Joel 2:19	And YHWH will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I am sending to you⁺ the grain and the new wine and the oil, and you⁺ will be satisfied with them, and I will give you⁺ no longer to reproach among the nations.
Joel 2:20	And the northern I will put far away from you⁺, and I will drive him away into a land of dryness and desolation, with his face toward the Eastern Sea, and his back toward the western sea; and his stench will come up, and his smell will rise up, for He has been great in doing.
Joel 2:21	You should not fear, O land; be glad and rejoice, for YHWH has been great in doing.
Joel 2:22	You⁺ shall not be afraid, O beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness have sprouted, for the tree has borne its fruit, the fig tree and the vine give forth their strength.
Joel 2:23	And you sons of Zion, rejoice and be glad in YHWH your⁺ God, for He gives to you⁺ the early rain for vindication, and He brings down for you⁺ the rain—the early rain and the latter rain as at first.
Joel 2:24	Will be full and the threshing floors of wheat, and the wine vats will overflow [with] new wine and oil.
Joel 2:25	And I will restore to you⁺ the years that he has eaten—the swarming locust, the young locust, and the destroying locust, and the devouring locust—My great army that I have sent among you⁺.
Joel 2:26	You⁺ will have eat your⁺ fill and be satisfied, and you⁺ will praise the name of YHWH your⁺ God, who has worked over you⁺ to do wonders, and My people will not be put to shame forever.
Joel 2:27	And you⁺ will know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and [that] I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, and there is no other; and My people will not be put to shame forever.
Joel 2:28	And it will come to pass after this, [that] I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and your⁺ sons and your⁺ daughters will prophesy; your⁺ old men will dream dreams, your⁺ young men will see visions.
Joel 2:29	And even on the menservants and on the maidservants, I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Joel 2:30	And I will give wonders in the heavens and on the earth—blood and fire and columns of smoke.
Joel 2:31	The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of of the great and awesome day of YHWH.
Joel 2:32	And it will come to pass [that] everyone who calls on the name of YHWH will be saved. For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be escape—according to that which YHWH has said—and among those remaining whom YHWH is calling.
Joel 3:1	[“] For behold, in those days and at that time, when I turn back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joel 3:2	I will gather all the nations, and I will bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there over My people and My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations—and they have divided up My land.
Joel 3:3	And for My people they have cast lots, and they have given a boy for a prostitute, and a girl they have sold for wine, that they may drink.
Joel 3:4	And indeed, what [are] you⁺ to Me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? A recompense are you⁺ rendering against Me, or are you⁺ retaliating against Me? Swiftly [and] speedily I will return your⁺ recompense upon your⁺ head,
Joel 3:5	because you⁺ took My silver and My gold, and My precious treasures you⁺ have brought in into your⁺ temples!
Joel 3:6	And the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem you⁺ sold to the sons of Javan, that you might remove them far from their borders.
Joel 3:7	Behold, I am rousing them from the place where there you⁺ have sold them, and I will return your⁺ recompense upon your⁺ head!
Joel 3:8	And I will sell your⁺ sons and your⁺ daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off!” Indeed, YHWH has spoken.
Joel 3:9	Call this out among the nations: “Consecrate for war; Rouse the mighty ones; let draw near; let them come up—all the men of war!
Joel 3:10	Beat your⁺ plowshares into swords, and your⁺ pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I [am] strong.’
Joel 3:11	Hurry and come in, all nations from around, and gather together there. Bring down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
Joel 3:12	May they be roused and come up—the nations to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. For there I will sit to judge all the nations from around.
Joel 3:13	Send forth the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, for the winepress is full; the wine vats overflow, for great [is] their wickedness!
Joel 3:14	Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision. For the day of YHWH [is] near in the valley of decision.
Joel 3:15	The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will withdraw their brightness.
Joel 3:16	And YHWH will roar from Zion, and from Jerusalem He will give forth His voice, and the heavens and the earth will quake, and YHWH [will be] a refuge for His people and a stronghold for the sons of Israel.
Joel 3:17	And you⁺ will know that I [am] YHWH your⁺ God, the One dwelling on Zion, the mountain of My holiness; and Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will not pass through her anymore.
Joel 3:18	And it will come to pass in that day [that] the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow [with] milk; and all the channels of Judah will flow with water, and a fountain will come forth from the house of YHWH and will water the Valley of Shittim.
Joel 3:19	Egypt will be as a desolation and Edom will be as a wilderness of desolation, because of violence [to] the sons of Judah; for in their land they have poured out innocent blood.
Joel 3:20	And Judah will abide forever, and Jerusalem for generation and generation.
Joel 3:21	And I will clear their bloodguilt [that] I have not cleared. And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!

Amos 2:6	Thus says YHWH: “Over three transgressions of Israel, even over four, I will not turn back—over their selling the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals.
Amos 2:7	They pant after the dust of the earth on the heads of the poor, out of their way they stretch aside the humble, and a man and his father go into the [same] girl, in order to defile the name of My holiness.
Amos 2:8	And on clothes taken in pledge they stretch out beside every altar, and the wine of those having been fined they drink [in] the house of their God.
Amos 2:9	And I—I have destroyed the Amorite before their faces, whose height [was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the Oaks; and I destroyed his fruit above and his roots beneath.

Amos 2:11	And I raised up [some] of your⁺ sons as prophets, and [some] of your⁺ young men as Nazirites. Indeed, [Is it] not thus, O sons of Israel?” An utterance of YHWH.

Amos 2:13	Behold, I am going to press you⁺ under, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
Amos 2:14	And flight will perish from the swift, and the strong will not strengthen his power, and the mighty will not deliver his soul.

Amos 3:1	Hear this word that YHWH has spoken against you⁺, O sons of Israel, against all the family that I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:
Amos 3:2	“Only you⁺ have I known from all of the families of the earth; upon thus I will visit punishment on you⁺ [for] all your⁺ iniquities.”
Amos 3:3	Can two walk together, unless they have agreed?
Amos 3:4	Does a lion roar in the forest and no prey [is] unto him? Does a young lion give forth his voice from his den, unless he has captured?
Amos 3:5	Does a bird fall into a trap on the earth and no snare [is] unto it? Does a trap spring up from the ground and it has captured no prey?
Amos 3:6	If a shofar is blown in the city, do the people not tremble? If calamity comes to a city, has not YHWH sent it?
Amos 3:7	Surely the Lord YHWH will not do a thing, that unless He reveals His plan to His servants the prophets.
Amos 3:8	A lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord YHWH has spoken—who will not prophesy?
Amos 3:9	Let [it] be heard in the citadels of Ashdod, and in the citadels in the land of Egypt, and say: “Assemble [yourselves] on the mountains of Samaria, and see great tumults in her midst, and the oppressed among her.”
Amos 3:10	“And they know not to do right—” a declaration of YHWH “Those storing [up] violence and plunder in their palaces.”

Amos 3:12	Thus says YHWH: “As a shepherd delivers from the mouth of a lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so will be delivered the sons of Israel, those dwelling in Samaria, with the corner of a bed, or the cushion of a couch!
Amos 3:13	Hear and testify against the house of Jacob, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, the God of Hosts,
Amos 3:14	that on the day of my visiting punishment [for] the transgressions of Israel upon him, then will I visit punishment on the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and they will fall to the ground.
Amos 3:15	And I will destroy the house of winter with the house of summer, and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will be swept away,” a declaration of YHWH.

Amos 4:9	“I struck you⁺ with blight and with mildew in your growing your⁺ gardens and your⁺ vineyards and your⁺ fig trees and your⁺ olive trees. The locust devoured and you⁺ have not returned to Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Amos 4:10	“I sent among you⁺ a plague in the manner of Egypt; I killed your⁺ young men with the sword, along with the captivity of your⁺ horses. And the stench of your⁺ camps I even made come up to your⁺ nostrils! And you⁺ have not returned to Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Amos 4:11	“I overthrew [some] among you⁺, like the overthrow by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, and you⁺ were like a firebrand delivered from the burning—and you⁺ have not returned to Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
Amos 4:12	“Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel, because this I am doing to you: Prepare to meet your God, O Israel!
Amos 4:13	For, behold, the One forming mountains and creating the wind, and the One declaring to man what His thoughts, and the One making the morning darkness, and the One treading on the high places of the earth, YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] His name.”
Amos 5:1	Hear this word that I take up against you⁺ [as] a lamentation, O house of Israel:
Amos 5:2	“She has fallen; she will not again rise, the virgin of Israel—[for] she lies forsaken on her land, with no one to raise her up.”
Amos 5:3	For thus says the Lord YHWH: “The city marching out as a thousand will have left a hundred, and the one marching out as a hundred will have left ten of the house of Israel.”
Amos 5:4	For thus says YHWH to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live!
Amos 5:5	And do not seek Bethel, and do not come [to] Gilgal, and do not cross over to Beersheba; for Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will come to Aven!
Amos 5:6	Seek YHWH and live, lest He break out like fire [in] the house of Joseph, and devour [it], with no one to quench it in Bethel.
Amos 5:7	You who are turning justice into wormwood and laying to rest righteousness in the earth—
Amos 5:8	the One making the Pleiades and Orion, and the One turning into the morning the shadow of death, and making the day dark as night, the One calling to the waters of the sea, and pouring them over the face of the earth—YHWH [is] His name—
Amos 5:9	the One flashing destruction upon the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
Amos 5:10	They hate the one reproving in the gate, and the one speaking virtuously, they abhor.
Amos 5:11	Therefore, because of your⁺ treading down upon the poor, and the tribute of grain you⁺ take from him—you⁺ have built houses of hewn stone, and you⁺ will not dwell in them; you⁺ have planted vineyards of delight, and you⁺ will not drink their wine.
Amos 5:12	Indeed, I know how many [are] your⁺ transgressions and [how] mighty your⁺ sins—[you] afflicting the righteous, taking bribes, and stretching aside the poor at the gate.
Amos 5:13	Therefore, the one acting prudently at that time will keep silent, for it [is] an evil time.
Amos 5:14	Seek good and not evil, so that you⁺ may live; and it will come to pass that YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] with you⁺, as you⁺ have spoken.
Amos 5:15	Hate evil and love good, and establish justice in the gate! Perhaps YHWH God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
Amos 5:16	Therefore, thus says YHWH God of Hosts, the Lord: “In all the public squares [will be] wailing, and in all the streets they will say, ‘Alas! Alas!’ And they will call the farmer to mourning, and those knowing lamentation to wailing,
Amos 5:17	and in all the vineyards wailing, for I will pass over in your midst!” Says YHWH.
Amos 5:18	Woe to those desiring the day of YHWH, for what [is] this to you⁺—the day of YHWH? It [is] darkness and not light,
Amos 5:19	as when a man flees from a lion and a bear meets him, or he comes into the house and leans his hand on the wall, and a snake bites him.
Amos 5:20	Is not the day of YHWH darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
Amos 5:21	“I hate—I despise—your⁺ feast s, and I do not savor in your⁺ solemn assemblies!
Amos 5:22	Even though burnt offerings and grain offerings you⁺ send up to Me, l will not accept them, and the peace offering of your⁺ fatlings I will not regard.
Amos 5:23	Turn aside from Me the noise of your songs, and the music of your harps I will not hear.
Amos 5:24	And let justice roll like the waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Amos 5:25	Sacrifices and offerings did you⁺ bring near to Me in the wilderness those forty years, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:26	You⁺ have taken along Sikkuth your⁺ king and and Kaiwan your⁺ idols, the star of your⁺ gods that you⁺ have made for yourselves.
Amos 5:27	And I will send you⁺ into exile beyond Damascus,” says YHWH—the God of Hosts [is] His name!
Amos 6:1	Woe to those at ease in Zion, and in Mount Samaria, leaders of the foremost of the nations; the house of Israel comes to them.
Amos 6:2	Cross over [to] Calneh and see, and go from there [to] Hamath the great, and go down [to] Gath [of] the Philistines—are [you] better than these kingdoms, or is their territory greater than your⁺ territory—
Amos 6:3	who are putting away the day of disaster, and who cause to come near the seat of violence,
Amos 6:4	those laying down on beds of ivory and stretching out on their couches, and eating lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,
Amos 6:5	those singing foolishly over the mouth of the harp, like David, devising for themselves all manner of song;
Amos 6:6	those drinking from bowls of wine, and with the finest ointments they anoint themselves—and they are not grieved over the breach of Joseph!
Amos 6:7	Therefore now they will be removed at the head of the captives, and will be turned aside the feasting and lounging.
Amos 6:8	The Lord YHWH has sworn by Himself, a declaration of YHWH, the God of Hosts, “I abhor the pride of Jacob, and his citadels I hate! And I will deliver up the city and its fullness.”
Amos 6:9	And if ten men should remain in a single house, then It will come to pass [that] they also will die.
Amos 6:10	And his loved one lifts [him] up, even his burner, to bring out the bones from the house; and he will say to the one inside the house, “Are there any with you?” And he will say, “None.” And he will say, “Hush, for must not make mention of the name of YHWH.”
Amos 6:11	For behold, YHWH is giving a command, and He will strike the great house [to] pieces, and the little house to bits!
Amos 6:12	“Do horses run on the rock? Or does one plow there with the oxen? Yet you⁺ have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
Amos 6:13	[being] glad in Lo-debar, saying, ‘Is [it] not by our own strength [that] we have taken for ourselves Karnaim?’
Amos 6:14	For behold, I am raising up against you⁺ a nation, O house of Israel,” a declaration of YHWH, the God of Hosts, “And they will oppress you⁺ from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of the Arabah!”
Amos 7:1	Thus the Lord YHWH showed me: And behold, he is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the latter growth, and behold, the late crop after the mowings of the king.
Amos 7:2	And it came to pass, when it had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said, “Lord YHWH, forgive, please! How can Jacob arise, for he [is] small?”
Amos 7:3	YHWH relented concerning this: “It will not come to pass,” said YHWH.
Amos 7:4	Thus [has] the Lord YHWH shown me: And behold, the Lord YHWH was calling to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and it was devouring the portion.
Amos 7:5	And I said, “Lord YHWH, cease, please! How can Jacob arise, for he [is] small?”
Amos 7:6	YHWH relented concerning this: “It also will not come to pass,” said the Lord YHWH.
Amos 7:7	Thus He has shown me: And behold, the Lord was standing by a wall true to plumb, and in His hand [was] a plumb line.
Amos 7:8	And YHWH said to me: “What [are] you seeing, Amos?” And I said, “A plumb line.” And the Lord said, “Behold, I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will not continue any longer to pass over him.
Amos 7:9	And the high places of Isaac will be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
Amos 7:10	And Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent [word] to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.
Amos 7:11	For thus Amos has said: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land!’”
Amos 7:12	And Amaziah said to Amos: “Seer, go! Flee for yourself to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there.
Amos 7:13	And at Bethel you will not continue to prophesy anymore, for it [is] the sanctuary of the king, and it [is] the house of the kingdom.”
Amos 7:14	And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I [was] not a prophet, nor [was] I the son of a prophet, but I [was] a herdsman and a tender of sycamore-fig trees.
Amos 7:15	And YHWH took me away from following the herd, and YHWH said to me: ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’
Amos 7:16	And now, hear the word of YHWH: You are saying, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop against the house of Isaac.’
Amos 7:17	Therefore, thus says YHWH: ‘Your wife will be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. And your land will be divided by a line and You will die in an unclean land, and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land!’”
Amos 8:1	Thus the Lord YHWH has shown me: And behold, a basket of summer fruit.
Amos 8:2	And He said, “What [are] you seeing, Amos?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” And YHWH said to me: “The end has come for My people Israel! I will not continue anymore to pass over him.”
Amos 8:3	“And they will wail the songs of the temple on that day,” a declaration of the Lord YHWH. “Many a corpse in every place is strewn! Silence!”
Amos 8:4	Hear this, those swallowing up the needy and causing to cease the poor of the land,
Amos 8:5	saying, “When will the New Moon pass, so that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath, that we may trade wheat, making small the ephah and making large the shekel, and cheating [with] scales of deceit,
Amos 8:6	to acquire the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, even selling the chaff with the wheat?”
Amos 8:7	YHWH has sworn by the pride of Jacob, “I will not forget to the end any of their works.
Amos 8:8	Over this, will the land not quake, and all dwelling in it will mourn? And all of it will rise up like the River and it will surge and subside like the River of Egypt.
Amos 8:9	And it will come to pass in that day, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, that I will make the sun go down at noon, and I will bring darkness to the earth in the daytime light.
Amos 8:10	And I will turn your⁺ feasts to mourning, and all your⁺ songs to lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth over all loins, and baldness on every head, and I will set it like mourning for an only son, and its end like a day [most] bitter!
Amos 8:11	Behold, the days are coming, a declaration of the Lord YHWH, and I will send a famine on the land: Not a famine of bread and not a thirst for water, but rather of hearing the words of YHWH.
Amos 8:12	And they will wander from sea to sea, and they will roam about from the north to the east, seeking the word of YHWH, and they will not find [it].
Amos 8:13	On that day, the beautiful virgins will faint—and the young men—from thirst.
Amos 8:14	Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, and having said, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’ and ‘as lives the way of Beersheba,’ they will fall, and they will not rise again!”
Amos 9:1	I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said: “Strike the doorposts and the thresholds will shake, and break them on the head of them all, and the last of them I will kill with the sword. No one fleeing can flee from them, and no fugative will escape from them.
Amos 9:2	If they dig into Sheol, from there my hand will take them, and if they go up [to] the heavens, from there I will bring them down.
Amos 9:3	And if they hide themselves on the top of Carmel, from there I will search and will take them; and if they hide from My eyes at the bottom of the sea, from there I will command the serpent, and it will bite them!
Amos 9:4	And if they go into captivity before the face of their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it will kill them; and I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good!”
Amos 9:5	And the Lord YHWH of Hosts—the One touching the earth and it melts, and all those dwelling on it mourn, and all of it swells like the River, and it sinks like the River of Egypt,
Amos 9:6	the One building His upper chambers in the heaven, and having founded His vault upon the earth, the One calling to the waters of the sea, and He pours them out upon the face of the earth—YHWH [is] His name!
Amos 9:7	“Are you⁺ not like the sons of the Cushites to Me, O sons of Israel?” An utterance of YHWH. “Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and Aram from Kir?
Amos 9:8	Behold, the eyes of the Lord YHWH [are] on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth—except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob.” An utterance of YHWH.
Amos 9:9	“For behold, I am giving the command, and I will shake among all the nations the house of Israel, as it is shaken in a sieve, and not a pebble will fall [to] the ground.
Amos 9:10	By the sword they will die—all the sinful ones of My people, those saying, ‘This evil will not come near or meet with us.’”
Amos 9:11	“On that day I will raise up the tent of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaches, and its ruins I will raise up, and I will rebuild it as in the days of old,
Amos 9:12	so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all of the nations that My name is called over them,” a declaration of YHWH, the One doing this.
Amos 9:13	“Behold, the days are coming,” says YHWH, “And the one plowing will draw near to the one reaping, and the one treading the grapes to the one drawing out the seed, and the mountains will drip sweet wine, and all the hills will flow with it.
Amos 9:14	And I will turn back the captivity of My people Israel, and they will rebuild the cities [that] are desolate and will dwell [in them], and they will plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they will make gardens and eat of their fruit.
Amos 9:15	And I will plant them in their land, and they will not be uprooted anymore from the land that I have given to them,” says YHWH your God.
Obadiah 1:1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord YHWH concerning Edom: We have heard a report from YHWH, and a messenger among the nations has been sent: “Rise up, and let us rise against her for battle.
Obadiah 1:2	Behold, I am making you small among the nations—you are exceedingly despised.
Obadiah 1:3	The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dweller in the clefts of the rock, [in] the height of his dwelling, the one saying in his heart, ‘Who will bring me down to the ground?’
Obadiah 1:4	Though you rise high like the eagle, and though your nest is set between the stars, from there I will bring you down,” a declaration of YHWH.
Obadiah 1:5	“If thieves had come to you, if plunderers by night—how you have been cut off—would they not have stolen enough for themselves? If grape-gatherers had come to you, would they not have left remaining [some] gleanings?
Obadiah 1:6	How Esau has been searched out, his hidden treasures sought out.
Obadiah 1:7	Up to the border they will force you—all the men of your alliance; they will deceive you [and] prevail against you—the men at peace with you; those of your bread will set a trap for you; there is no understanding of it.
Obadiah 1:8	Will not, on that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I even destroy the wise men from Edom, and of understanding from the mountains of Esau?
Obadiah 1:9	And your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, so that each man from the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.
Obadiah 1:10	From the violence [to] your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever!
Obadiah 1:11	On the day of your standing away from before [him], on the day strangers carried away captive his wealth, and foreigners entered his gates, and over Jerusalem they cast lots, even you [were] as one of them.
Obadiah 1:12	And you should not look on the day of your brother, on the day of his captivity; and you should not rejoice over the sons of Judah on the day of their destruction, and you should not enlarge your mouth in the day of distress.
Obadiah 1:13	You should not come into the gate of My people on the day of their calamity; you should not look—yes you—on his affliction in the day of his calamity, and you⁺ should not send forth upon his wealth in the day of his calamity!
Obadiah 1:14	And you should not stand at the crossroad to cut down his fugitives; and you should not deliver up his survivors in the day of distress.
Obadiah 1:15	For the day of YHWH [is] near, upon all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you—your recompense will return upon your own head!
Obadiah 1:16	For according to how you⁺ drank on the mountain of my holiness, all the nations will drink continually; they will drink and they will swallow, and they will be as if they had never existed.
Obadiah 1:17	And on Mount Zion there will be an escape, and there will be holiness, and the house of Jacob will repossess their possessions.
Obadiah 1:18	And the house of Jacob will become a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau as stubble; and they will burn them and consume them, and there will not be a survivor to the house of Esau.” For YHWH has spoken.
Obadiah 1:19	And the Negev will possess the mountains of Esau, and the Shephelah the Philistines; and they will possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin Gilead,
Obadiah 1:20	and the captivity of this host of the sons of Israel, that of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negev.
Obadiah 1:21	And those delivering will go up onto Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be unto YHWH.
Jonah 1:1	And the word of YHWH came to Jonah son of Amittai, saying:
Jonah 1:2	“Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before My face!”
Jonah 1:3	And Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish, away from the face of YHWH. And he went down [to] Joppa, and found a ship going [to] Tarshish, and he paid its fare and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the face of YHWH.
Jonah 1:4	And YHWH hurled a great wind toward the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, and the ship was thinking to be broken apart.
Jonah 1:5	And the sailors were afraid, and each man cried out to his god. And they threw the articles that [were] in the ship into the sea to lighten it from them. And Jonah had gone down into the recesses of the ship, and he had lain down and was deeply asleep.
Jonah 1:6	And the chief pilot came near to him and said to him: “How can you sleep? Stand up [and] call to your God! Perhaps your God will have consideration for us and we will not perish!”
Jonah 1:7	And they said, each man to his companion, “Come, let us cast lots, that we may know by whom this evil [is] upon us!” And they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
Jonah 1:8	And they said to him, “Declare now to us, with regard to whom [is] this evil upon us? What [is] your occupation, and from where do you come? What [is] your land, and from which people [are] you?”
Jonah 1:9	And he said to them, “I [am] a Hebrew and YHWH, God of the heavens, I fear, who made the sea and the dry land.”
Jonah 1:10	And the men feared with great fear, and they said to him: “What [is] this you have done?” For the men knew that he was fleeing away from the face of YHWH, because he had told them.
Jonah 1:11	And they said to him, “What shall we do to you, that the sea may become quiet around us?” For the sea was going on and raging.
Jonah 1:12	And he said to them, “Pick me up and cast me into the sea, and the sea will become quiet around you⁺. For I know that because of me this great tempest [is] upon you⁺.”
Jonah 1:13	And the men dug in to return to the land, and they were not able, for the sea was going on and raging against them.
Jonah 1:14	And they cried out to YHWH and said: “Ah, O YHWH, please do not let us perish for the soul of this man, and do not put upon us innocent blood. For You, O YHWH, have done as You pleased.”
Jonah 1:15	And they picked up Jonah, and they cast him into the sea, and the sea stood from its raging.
Jonah 1:16	And the men feared YHWH with great fear, and they offered a sacrifice to YHWH, and they vowed vows.
Jonah 1:17	And YHWH appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the bowels of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:1	And Jonah prayed to YHWH his God from the bowels of the fish,
Jonah 2:2	and he said: “I called out from the distress of mine to YHWH, and He answered me; from the belly of Sheol I cried out—You heard my voice.
Jonah 2:3	And You cast me [into] the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the current surrounded me; all Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
Jonah 2:4	And I said, ‘I have been driven out from before Your eyes; yet I will add to look toward the temple of Your holiness.’
Jonah 2:5	The waters surrounded me up to the soul, the deep closed around me, the seaweed wrapped around my head.
Jonah 2:6	To the bases of the mountains I went down; the earth with her bars [was] behind me forever. And You brought up my life from the pit, O YHWH my God.
Jonah 2:7	At the fainting within me of my soul, I remembered YHWH; my prayer came in to You, to the temple of Your holiness.
Jonah 2:8	Those guarding vanities of worthlessness leave behind their loving devotion.
Jonah 2:9	And I, with a voice of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to You; what I have vowed, I will fulfill. Salvation [is] of YHWH.”
Jonah 2:10	And YHWH spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto the dry land.
Jonah 3:1	And the word of YHWH came to Jonah a second time, saying:
Jonah 3:2	“Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and call out to it the message that I am speaking to you.”
Jonah 3:3	And Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of YHWH. And Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a journey of three days.
Jonah 3:4	And Jonah began to come into the city, a walk of one day, and he called out and said: “Forty more days, and Nineveh will be overturned!”
Jonah 3:5	And the people of Nineveh trusted in God; and they called a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jonah 3:6	And this word reached to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne and passed off his royal clothing from him, and he covered himself with sackcloth and sat upon the ashes.
Jonah 3:7	And he cried out and spoke in Nineveh: By the determination of the king and his nobles, saying: “The man and the beast, the herd and the flock, let them not taste anything, and let them not graze, and let them not drink water.
Jonah 3:8	And let them be covered with sackcloth, the man and the beast, and call out to God with strength; and each man must turn back from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.
Jonah 3:9	Who knows? God may turn back and relent, and turn back from the burning of His anger, so that we should not perish!”
Jonah 3:10	And God saw their deeds, that they turned back from their evil way, and God relented from the disaster that He had said to do to them, and He did not do [it].
Jonah 4:1	And it was evil to Jonah—a great evil—and he became hot at it.
Jonah 4:2	And he prayed to YHWH and said, “Ah, YHWH, was not this my word while I was in my own land? Upon thus, I acted beforehand to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that You [are] a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving devotion, and one who relents from disaster.
Jonah 4:3	And now, O YHWH, take, please, my soul from me, for better [is] my death than my life.”
Jonah 4:4	And YHWH said, “[Is it] right for you to be hot?”
Jonah 4:5	And Jonah went out from the city, and sat on the east of the city; and he made for himself there a shelter, and he sat under it in the shade, until that he might see what would become of the city.
Jonah 4:6	And YHWH God appointed a qiqayon, and He made it come up above Jonah to be shade over his head to deliver him from his trouble. And Jonah was glad about the plant with great joy.
Jonah 4:7	And God appointed a worm at the rising of the dawn on the next day, and it struck the qiqayon, and it withered.
Jonah 4:8	And it came to pass at the rising of the sun that God appointed a scorching wind from the east, and the sun beat on the head of Jonah. And he became faint, and he asked [for] his soul to die, and said, “Better [is] my death than my life!”
Jonah 4:9	And God said to Jonah, “Is [it] right for you to be hot about the qiqayon?” And he said, “[It is] right; it burns in me, even to death!”
Jonah 4:10	And YHWH said, “You have concern over the qiqayon, for which you have not toiled, and you have not made it grow; as a son of a night came to be, and as a son of a night it perished.
Jonah 4:11	And I, should I not have compassion on Nineveh, the great city, in which are more than twelve myriad people who do not know between their right hand to their left hand, and many animals?”
Micah 1:1	The word of YHWH that came to Micah the Moreshite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw regarding Samaria and Jerusalem.
Micah 1:2	Hear, O peoples, all of them! Pay attention, O earth, and its fullness! And may the Lord YHWH be against you⁺ as a witness—the Lord from the temple of His holiness!
Micah 1:3	For behold, YHWH is coming from His station. He will come down and will tread upon the high places of the earth.
Micah 1:4	And the mountains will melt under Him, and the valleys will split apart, like wax before the face of the fire, like waters poured down on a slope.
Micah 1:5	All this [is] for the transgression of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? Is [it] not Samaria? And what [are] the high places of Judah? Are [they] not Jerusalem?
Micah 1:6	And I will set Samaria as a heap of ruins in the field, a planting area of a vineyard; I will pour down her stones into the valley, and her foundations I will uncover.
Micah 1:7	And all her carved images will be crushed, and all her wages will be burned in the fire, and all her idols I will set [as] a desolation. For from the wages of a prostitute she gathered [it], and to the wages of a prostitute they will return!
Micah 1:8	Over this I will mourn and wail, I will go barefoot and naked; I will make a wailing like the jackals, and a lamentation like the daughters of the ostrich.
Micah 1:9	For her wounds [are] incurable, for it has come to Judah; it has reached even to the gate of My people, to Jerusalem.
Micah 1:10	Do not declare [it] in Gath, do not weep at all weep; in Beth-leaphrah, roll yourself in the dust.
Micah 1:11	Pass by for yourself, O dweller of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness. She does not come out—the dweller of Zaanan; the mourning of Beth-ezel will take away from you⁺ its station.
Micah 1:12	For the dweller of Maroth has waited anxiously for good, because calamity has come down from YHWH to the gate of Jerusalem!
Micah 1:13	Harness the chariot to the swift steed, O dweller of Lachish! She [was] the beginning of sin for the daughter of Zion, for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
Micah 1:14	Therefore you will give farewell gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib [are] a deceit to the kings of Israel.
Micah 1:15	Again the possessor I will bring to you, O dweller of Mareshah; to Adullam will come the glory of Israel.
Micah 1:16	Make yourself bald and shear [your head] over the children of your delight; enlarge your baldness like an eagle, for they will go into exile away from you.
Micah 2:1	Woe [to] those devising iniquity and working evil on their beds. In the light of morning they do it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Micah 2:2	And they desire fields, and seize [them], and houses, and they take [them]; and they oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
Micah 2:3	Therefore, thus says YHWH: “Behold, I am planning calamity against this family that you⁺ cannot remove from your⁺ necks; and you⁺ will not walk haughtily, for it [is] a time of calamity.
Micah 2:4	On that day he will take up over you⁺ a taunt, and will wail loudly, and say, ‘We are We are utterly ruined! The portion of my people He has changed—how He has removed [it] from me, [and] to a backturner He has divided our fields!’”
Micah 2:5	Therefore there will be unto you no one casting the cord by lot in the assembly of YHWH.
Micah 2:6	“Do not preach,” they preach. “Do not preach to these things, disgrace will not overtake [us].”
Micah 2:7	Will it be said, O house of Jacob, has the Spirit of YHWH been shortened, or “[Are] these His deeds?” Do not My words bring good upon the one walking uprightly?
Micah 2:8	And lately My people have risen up as an enemy from the garment you⁺ strip off the magnificence, [in] security from those passing by, as those returning from battle.
Micah 2:9	The women of My people you⁺ cast out from the houses of her delight; from her children you⁺ have taken away My glory forever.
Micah 2:10	Rise and depart, for this [is] not a resting place, because it is defiled; it is destroyed and [its] destruction is grievous!
Micah 2:11	If a man should go about in the wind and falsely utter lies: “I will preach to you of wine and strong drink,” then he would be the prophet for this people!
Micah 2:12	I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob, I will surely assemble the remnant of Israel, I will put them together like sheep [in] an enclosure, like a flock in the midst of its pasture, that makes a noise because of man.
Micah 2:13	The one breaking [it] open before them will come up they will break out and will pass through the gate, and they will go out by it, and they will pass—their king before them, and with YHWH at their head.
Micah 3:1	And I said: “Hear now, O heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Is [it] not for you⁺ to know justice—
Micah 3:2	those hating good and loving evil, those tearing away their skin from upon them, and their flesh from their bones,
Micah 3:3	and who eat the flesh of My people, and strip off their skin from them and break their bones and spread [them] as in the pot, and like flesh in the midst of a cauldron?”
Micah 3:4	Then they will cry to YHWH, and He will not answer them; and He will hide His face from them at that time, because their deeds have been evil.
Micah 3:5	Thus says YHWH concerning the prophets leading astray my people, those biting with their teeth while they call out, Peace, and who do not give to their mouth, and they have sanctified against him war:
Micah 3:6	“Therefore a night [is] unto you⁺ without a vision, and it will grow dark for you⁺ without divination, and the sun will go down on the prophets, and the daylight will turn black over them.
Micah 3:7	And the seers will be ashamed, and the diviners will be disgraced, and they will cover over their mustache—all of them—for there is no answer from God!”
Micah 3:8	However I am filled with power by the Spirit of YHWH, and justice and strength to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah 3:9	Hear this now, O heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, those abhorring justice, and all that is upright, they pervert,
Micah 3:10	those building up Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with injustice.
Micah 3:11	Her heads give judgment for a bribe, and her priests give instruction for a price, and her prophets practice divination for silver. And on YHWH they lean, and say, “Is not YHWH among us? No harm can come upon us.”
Micah 3:12	Therefore, because of you⁺, Zion will be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem will become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house, like the heights of the forest.
Micah 4:1	And it will come to pass at the end of the days, [that] the mountain of the house of YHWH will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and the peoples will flow to it.
Micah 4:2	And many nations will come and say “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, and to the house of the God of Jacob; He will instruct us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem.
Micah 4:3	And He will judge between many peoples, and He will decide even for strong nations, those far off. And they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, and they will not learn war anymore;
Micah 4:4	and each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, and there will not be one making [them] afraid, for the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken.
Micah 4:5	For all the peoples walk, each man in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of YHWH our God forever and ever.
Micah 4:6	“On that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “I will gather the lame, and I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
Micah 4:7	And I will set the lame as a remnant, and those cast out as a strong nation. And YHWH will reign over them on Mount Zion from now and even to forever.
Micah 4:8	And you, Migdal-eder, O citadel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come—the former dominion will come—the kingdom to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
Micah 4:9	Now why do you shout [with] shouting? [Is there] no king among you? Or has your counselor perished, that has gripped you anguish like a woman in labor?
Micah 4:10	Writhe, and bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will go forth from the city, and you will dwell in the field, and you will go to Babylon. There you will be delivered, there YHWH will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
Micah 4:11	And now many nations are gathered against you, those saying, “Let her be defiled, and let our eyes gaze upon Zion.”
Micah 4:12	And they do not know the thoughts of YHWH, and they do not understand His counsel, how He gathers them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
Micah 4:13	Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion. For your horn I will set as iron, and your hooves I will set as bronze; and you will crush many peoples, and you will devote to YHWH their gain, and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
Micah 5:1	Now mobilize your troops, O daughter of a troop! A siege he has laid against us; with a rod they will strike on the cheek the judge of Israel.
Micah 5:2	And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the thousands of Judah: From you will come forth unto Me One to be Ruler in Israel, and his goings forth [are] of old, from everlasting.
Micah 5:3	Therefore He will give them [up], until the time the one giving birth has given birth; and the remnant of his brothers will return to the sons of Israel.
Micah 5:4	And he will stand and pasture [them] in the strength of YHWH, in the majesty of the name of YHWH his God; and they will dwell securely, for now he will be great as far as the ends of the earth.
Micah 5:5	And this one will be our peace. When Assyria comes into our land and treads in our citadels, we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight princes of mankind.
Micah 5:6	And they will shepherd against the land of Assyria with the sword, and against the land of Nimrod at its entrances; and He will deliver [us] from Assyria, when he comes into our land, and treads within our borders.
Micah 5:7	And the remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from YHWH, like showers on the grass that do not wait for man and do not linger for the sons of man.
Micah 5:8	And the remnant of Jacob will be among the nations in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among flocks of sheep, who, if he passes through, both treads down and tears to pieces, and there is no one delivering.
Micah 5:9	Your hand will be lifted against your adversaries, and all your enemies will be cut off.
Micah 5:10	“And it will come to pass in that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “[That] I will cut off your horses from among you, and I will destroy your chariots.
Micah 5:11	And I will cut off the cities of your land, and I will tear down all your strongholds.
Micah 5:12	And I will cut off sorcery from your hand, and those practicing divination will not be unto you.
Micah 5:13	And I will cut off your carved images and your sacred pillars from among you, and you will not bow down anymore to the work of your hands.
Micah 5:14	And I will pluck up your Asherah poles from among you, and I will destroy your cities.
Micah 5:15	And I will execute vengeance in anger and in fury on the nations who would not listen.”
Micah 6:1	Hear now what YHWH is saying: “Arise, dispute with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
Micah 6:2	Hear, O mountains, the dispute of YHWH, and you enduring foundations of the earth, for a dispute [is] unto YHWH against His people, and He will argue against Israel.
Micah 6:3	‘My people, what have I done to you, and how have I wearied you? Answer Me!
Micah 6:4	For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery; I redeemed you and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Micah 6:5	My people, remember, please, what Balak king of Moab counseled, and what Balaam son of Beor answered him—from Shittim unto Gilgal, so that you may know the righteous acts of YHWH!’”
Micah 6:6	With what will I come before YHWH [and] bow myself before God Most High? Will I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves, sons of a year?
Micah 6:7	Will YHWH be pleased with thousands of rams, with myriad rivers of oil? Will I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?
Micah 6:8	He has shown to you, O man, what [is] good. And what does YHWH seek from you, but to do justice and to love kindness, and to be humble to walk with your God?
Micah 6:9	The voice of YHWH calls to the city, and wisdom fears Your name: “Heed the rod, and the One who has appointed it!
Micah 6:10	Are there Yet, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness, and the ephah of leanness, which is accursed?
Micah 6:11	Shall I count pure one with scales of wickedness, and with a bag of weights of deceit?
Micah 6:12	How her rich men are full of violence, and her dwellers have spoken deception, and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth!
Micah 6:13	So also I will be severe in striking you, to make [you] desolate over your sins!
Micah 6:14	You will eat, and you will not be satisfied, your emptiness [is] in your entrails; you will put away, and you will not save, and what you save, I will give to the sword.
Micah 6:15	You will sow, and you will not reap; you will tread the olives, and you will not anoint yourselves with oil, and new wine, and you will not drink the wine.
Micah 6:16	And the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you⁺ walk by their counsels. Therefore I will give you to desolation, and your dwellers to hissing, and you⁺ will bear the scorn of the nations.”
Micah 7:1	Woe to me, for I have become like the gathering of the summer fruit, like the gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat, [no] early fig my soul desires.
Micah 7:2	The godly one has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind. They all lie in wait for blood, each man against his brother, they hunt with a net.
Micah 7:3	Upon the evil [are] both hands to do [it] well; the prince is asking—and the judge—for a bribe, and the great one is speaking the desire of his soul, and they wrap it up.
Micah 7:4	Their best one of them [is] like a brier, the upright one, a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen—your visitation—has come. Now is their confusion!
Micah 7:5	Do not trust in a friend; do not put your⁺ confidence in a companion; from her who lies down in your bosom guard the doors of your mouth.
Micah 7:6	For a son dishonors a father, a daughter rises against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—the enemies of a man [are] the men of his own house!
Micah 7:7	And I, for YHWH I will watch, I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me.
Micah 7:8	Do not rejoice, O my enemy, over me when I fall; I will arise; when I sit in the darkness, YHWH [is be] a light for me.
Micah 7:9	The indignation of YHWH I will bear, because I have sinned against Him, until when He will fight my fight, and execute justice by me; He will bring me forth to the light, [and] I will look on His righteousness.
Micah 7:10	And she who [is] my enemy will see, and she will cover her shame—she who said to me, “Where is YHWH your God?” My eyes will look on her; now she will be for trampling like mud in the streets.
Micah 7:11	A day [is] for building your walls, a day that the limit is removed.
Micah 7:12	And that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt to the River, and from sea to sea and mountain [to] mountain.
Micah 7:13	And the earth will be as a desolation over those dwelling on it for the fruit of their deeds.
Micah 7:14	Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage dwelling alone in a woodland in the midst of Carmel; let them find pasture in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Micah 7:15	As in the days of your coming out from the land of Egypt, I will make them see wonders.
Micah 7:16	Nations will see, and they will be ashamed of all their might; they will put the hand over the mouth; their ears will become deaf.
Micah 7:17	They will lick the dust like a snake, like the crawling [things] of the earth; they will come trembling from their enclosures to YHWH our God they will tremble, and they will be afraid of You.
Micah 7:18	Who [is] a God like You, lifting away iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in loving devotion.
Micah 7:19	He will turn back, He will have compassion on us, He will subdue our iniquities. And You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins.
Micah 7:20	You will give forth faithfulness to Jacob, loving devotion to Abraham, which You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Nahum 1:1	The burden of Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
Nahum 1:2	A God jealous and avenging [is] YHWH; avenging [is] YHWH and owner of fury; avenging [is] YHWH on His adversaries, and He is watching for His enemies.
Nahum 1:3	YHWH [is] slow to anger and great in power; and YHWH does not entirely acquit. In the whirlwind and in the storm [is] His way, and the clouds [are] the dust of His feet.
Nahum 1:4	He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and all the rivers He dries up; Bashan and Carmel wither; the flower of Lebanon has withered.
Nahum 1:5	The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt, and the earth lifts up before His face, and the world and all those dwelling in it.
Nahum 1:6	Before the face of His indignation, who can stand? And who can stand up in the burning of His anger? His fury is poured out like the fire, and the rocks are torn down by Him.
Nahum 1:7	YHWH [is] good for a stronghold in the day of distress, and He knows those taking refuge in Him.
Nahum 1:8	And with an overflowing flood, He will make a complete end of her place, and His enemies will pursue darkness.
Nahum 1:9	What are you⁺ plotting against YHWH? He will make a complete end; distress will not rise up a second time.
Nahum 1:10	For as with thorns, they will be entangled, and like their drink becoming drunk, they are consumed like stubble fully dry.
Nahum 1:11	From you came forth one devising evil plots against YHWH, a counselor of wickedness.
Nahum 1:12	Thus says YHWH: “Though they are full and likewise numerous, so will they be cut down and will pass away. And I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
Nahum 1:13	And now I will break off his yoke from upon you, and your bonds I will tear away.”
Nahum 1:14	And YHWH has given a command concerning you: “No longer will be sown forth of your name; from the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the molten image; I will dig your grave, for you are of little account.”
Nahum 1:15	Behold, on the mountains, the feet of one bringing good news, announcing peace. Celebrate, O Judah, your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the worthless one will continue no more to pass through you; all of him has been cut off!
Nahum 2:1	The one scattering has come up before your face; guard the fortress, watch over the road; strengthen your loins, strengthen [your] power greatly!
Nahum 2:2	For YHWH will restore the majesty of Jacob, like the majesty of Israel, for those emptying have emptied them and have ruined their branches.
Nahum 2:3	The shields of his mighty men are red; the men of valor are clothed in scarlet; with fire of burning steel the chariots [come] on the day of his preparing, and the cypresses quiver.
Nahum 2:4	Through the streets the chariots dash; they rush around in the squares; their appearance [is] like torches, like the lightning they run!
Nahum 2:5	He summons his nobles, they stumble in their walk; they hurry [to] her wall, and the siege-cover is prepared.
Nahum 2:6	The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
Nahum 2:7	And it is established: She shall be ncovered [and] brought up, and her maidservants will be moaning as the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
Nahum 2:8	And Nineveh [was] like a pool of water, from the days of her, and they flee: “Stand, stand,” and no one is turning back.
Nahum 2:9	“Plunder the silver, plunder the gold!” And there is no end to the provision—the worth of every precious article.
Nahum 2:10	Emptiness, an empty place and laid waste! The heart melts, and the knees shake, and [there is] anguish in all loins, and the faces of all of them are gathered to paleness!
Nahum 2:11	Where [is] the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place that [was] unto the young lions—where there walked the lion [and] lioness, [and] the cub of the lion, and nothing made them afraid?
Nahum 2:12	The lion was tearing enough for his cubs, and strangling for his lionesses; and he filled his caves [with] prey, and his dens with flesh.
Nahum 2:13	“Behold, I [am] against you,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And I will burn in smoke your chariots, and the sword will devour your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and will be heard no more the voice of your messengers!”
Nahum 3:1	Woe [to] the city of bloodshed. All of it [is] a lie, full of plunder—[its] prey does not depart—
Nahum 3:2	the voice of the whip, the voice of the rattling of the wheel, with galloping horse and bounding chariot!
Nahum 3:3	Horsemen [are] ascending with a flame of sword and flashing of spear, and the abundance of the slain, and the mass of the corpse—there is no end to the bodies—and they stumble over the bodies.
Nahum 3:4	From the abundance of prostitutions of the prostitute, fine of favor, the mistress of sorcery, the one selling nations by her prostitution, and families by her sorcery.
Nahum 3:5	“Behold, I [am] against you,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “And I will uncover your skirts over your face, and I will let see the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.
Nahum 3:6	And I will cast upon you abominations and I will treat you with contempt, and I will set you as a spectacle!
Nahum 3:7	And it will come to pass [that] all seeing you will flee from you, and will say, ‘Nineveh is devastated. Who will bemoan for her?’ From where should I seek comforters for you?”
Nahum 3:8	Are you better than Thebes, the [city] setting by the River, [with] the waters around her, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] the sea her wall?
Nahum 3:9	Cush [was] her strength, and Egypt, and there was no end; Libya and Lubim came to be for your help.
Nahum 3:10	Yet she [was] as an exile; she went into captivity; even her infants were dashed to pieces at the head of every street, and over her honored ones they cast lots, and all her great ones were bound in chains.
Nahum 3:11	Even you will become drunk; you will be hidden; you will even seek refuge from the enemy.
Nahum 3:12	All your fortresses are fig trees with the first ripe figs; if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the one eating.
Nahum 3:13	Behold, your people [are] women in your midst; the gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has devoured your bars.
Nahum 3:14	Draw for yourself water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses; Go into the clay and tread on the mortar; take hold or the brick kiln.
Nahum 3:15	There the fire will devour you; the sword will cut you down; it will eat you up like the locust. Make yourself many like the young locust, make yourself many like the swarming locust.
Nahum 3:16	You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of the heavens; the young locust strips [it] and flies away.
Nahum 3:17	Your princes [are] like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts of locusts, those camping on the fences on a day of cold; the sun has risen, and it flees away, and it is not known the place of it, where they [are].
Nahum 3:18	Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria; your nobles are at rest; your people are scattered on the mountains, and no one is gathering them.
Nahum 3:19	There is no easing of your injury; your wound is severe; all those hearing the report of you clap the hands over you. For upon whom has not your evil passed continually?
Habakkuk 1:1	The burden that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
Habakkuk 1:2	Until when, O YHWH, will I cry out, and you will not hear? I cry out to You, “Violence!” And will you not save?
Habakkuk 1:3	Why do you cause me to me see iniquity and to look upon trouble? Destruction and violence [are] before me, and there is strife, and contention rises up.
Habakkuk 1:4	Over this, the law is numb, and justice does not go forth forever. For the wicked are surrounding the righteous. Upon thus, twisted justice goes forth.
Habakkuk 1:5	“Look among the nations and observe them, and be utterly astonished. For a work [I am] doing in your⁺ days, [that] you⁺ would not believe even if it were recounted.
Habakkuk 1:6	For behold, I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, marching through the breadth of the earth, to possess dwelling places not unto them.
Habakkuk 1:7	He [is] terrible and fearsome; his justice and his dignity go forth from him.
Habakkuk 1:8	Their horses are swifter than leopards and fiercer than wolves of the evening; their horsemen spring about; and their horsemen come from afar, and they fly like the eagle hurrying to devour.
Habakkuk 1:9	They all come for violence; the full force of their faces [is] the east wind, and they gather captives like the sand.
Habakkuk 1:10	And he mocks the kings, and princes [are] an object of scorn for him; at every fortification he laughs, and heaps up earth and seizes it.
Habakkuk 1:11	Then he sweeps through like the wind and passes on; he is guilty, this one; his power [is] unto his god.”
Habakkuk 1:12	[Are] You not from everlasting, O YHWH my God, my Holy One? We will not die. O YHWH, for judgment You have appointed them, and, O Rock, for reproof You have established them.
Habakkuk 1:13	Purer of eyes than to behold evil, and You are not able to look on wickedness. Why do You look on those acting treacherously, [and] remain quiet when the wicked is devouring one more righteous than he?
Habakkuk 1:14	And You make mankind like the fish of the sea, like creeping things without one ruling over them.
Habakkuk 1:15	He brings up each with a hook; he catches him in his net, and gathers him in his dragnet; upon thus he is glad and rejoices.
Habakkuk 1:16	Upon thus he sacrifices to his net, and burns incense to his dragnet, because by them his portion [is] rich and his food fat.
Habakkuk 1:17	Upon thus he will empty his net, and continue to slay nations without having mercy?
Habakkuk 2:1	At my guard post I will stand, and I will take my stand on the rampart, and I will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will return upon my reproof.
Habakkuk 2:2	And YHWH answered me and said, “Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon the tablets, that the one calling may run with it.
Habakkuk 2:3	For [is] yet the vision for an appointed time, and it breathes of the end, and it will not lie; if it lingers, wait for it, because it will surely come and will not delay.
Habakkuk 2:4	Behold, one is not puffed up whose soul is upright within him, and the righteous one will live by his faith.
Habakkuk 2:5	And indeed because wealth is treacherous, a proud man who does not stay at home, who enlarges his appetite like Sheol and he [is] like death, and is not satisfied, and he gathers to himself all the nations, and he collects for himself all the peoples.
Habakkuk 2:6	Will not these, all of them, take up a clever saying against him, and a taunt [with] riddles against him, and say, ‘Woe [to] the one multiplying [what is] not unto him. Until when will will he load on humself many pledges?’
Habakkuk 2:7	Will not your creditors suddenly rise up, and your oppressors awaken? And you will become as plunder for them!
Habakkuk 2:8	Because you have plundered many nations, all the remnant of the peoples will plunder you for the bloodshed of man and the violence to the land, [to] the city and all those dwelling in it!
Habakkuk 2:9	Woe [to] the one biting off evil gain for his house, to set his nest in the heights, that he may be delivered from the hand of evil!
Habakkuk 2:10	You have devised shame for your house, cutting off many peoples, and sinning against your soul.
Habakkuk 2:11	For a stone from the wall will cry out, and a beam from the timbers will answer it:
Habakkuk 2:12	Woe [to] the one building a city with bloodshed, and who establishes a town by injustice!
Habakkuk 2:13	Behold, Is [it] not from YHWH of Hosts that the labor of the people is for feeding the fire, and nations only in vain weary themselves?
Habakkuk 2:14	For the earth will be filled to know the glory of YHWH, as the waters cover over the sea.
Habakkuk 2:15	Woe [to] the one giving drink to his neighbor, pouring out your rage and even to make [him] drunk, in order to look upon his nakedness!
Habakkuk 2:16	You have been filled with shame instead of glory. Drink, you also, and expose your uncircumcision. It will turn around upon you—the cup of the right hand of YHWH, and disgrace [be] upon your glory.
Habakkuk 2:17	For the violence to Lebanon will cover you, and the destruction of the beasts will terrify them, from the bloodshed of man and the violence to the land, to the city and all those dwelling in it.
Habakkuk 2:18	What profit [is] an image when its fashioner has carved it, a molten image and a teacher of falsehood? For the one fashioning trusts upon it [in] his fashioning, making mute idols.
Habakkuk 2:19	Woe [to] the one saying to the wood, ‘Awake!’ Or to a stone of silence, ‘Arise!’ Can it give instruction? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and not any breath [is] within it.”
Habakkuk 2:20	And YHWH [is] in the temple of His holiness; let all the earth be silent before Him.
Habakkuk 3:1	A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth.
Habakkuk 3:2	O YHWH, I have heard the report of You; [and] I was afraid, O YHWH, of Your work. In the midst of the years may You revive it; in the midst of the years make [it] known; in wrath, may You remember to have compassion.
Habakkuk 3:3	God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of His praise.
Habakkuk 3:4	And [His] brightness was like the light; rays [were] unto Him from His hand, and there [was] the hiding of his power.
Habakkuk 3:5	Before His face went pestilence, and plague came forth at His feet.
Habakkuk 3:6	He stood and measured the earth; He looked and startled the nations; the ancient mountains were scattered, and the hills of old bowed; the ways of old [are] unto Him!
Habakkuk 3:7	Under affliction I have seen the tents of Cushan; the curtains of the land of Midian were trembling.
Habakkuk 3:8	Against the rivers did it burn, O YHWH—Your anger against the rivers? Or [was] Your wrath against the sea, when You rode on Your horses, Your chariots of salvation?
Habakkuk 3:9	Your bow was uncovered [with] nakedness speech was sworn [for] arrows. Selah With rivers You split the earth;
Habakkuk 3:10	the mountains saw You [and] trembled. A storm of waters passed by; the deep gave forth its voice, [and] on high its hand lifted.
Habakkuk 3:11	The sun [and] moon stood still in its high place; at the light of Your arrows they went forth, at the brightness of the flashing of Your spear.
Habakkuk 3:12	In wrath You marched through the land, in anger You trampled the nations.
Habakkuk 3:13	You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for salvation with Your anointed; You struck the head of the house of the wicked, uncovering [him] from base to neck. Selah
Habakkuk 3:14	You pierced the head of his warriors with his staves; they stormed out to scatter me, [in] their rejoicing as one who devours the afflicted in [his] hiding place.
Habakkuk 3:15	You tread on the sea [with] Your horses, a surge of great waters.
Habakkuk 3:16	I heard [it], and my belly trembled, my lips quivered at the sound; decay came into my bones, and from under me I trembled, that I might rest in the day of distress, to come upon the people who invade us.
Habakkuk 3:17	Though the fig tree may not bud, and there be no fruit on the vines; though the work of the olive may fail, and the fields not produce food, though the flock is cut off from the fold, and there herd [is] in the stalls,
Habakkuk 3:18	yet I will exult in YHWH; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk 3:19	YHWH the Lord is my strength, and He will make my feet like a deer’s, and on my high places He makes me tread. To the one directing: With stringed instruments.
Zephaniah 1:1	The word of YHWH that came to be to Zephaniah son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah.
Zephaniah 1:2	“Removing I will bring to an end everything from the face of the earth,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zephaniah 1:3	“I will bring to an end man and beast; I will bring to an end the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea and the stumbling blocks with the wicked; and I will cut off mankind from the face of the earth,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zephaniah 1:4	“And I will stretch out My hand against Judah, and against all those dwelling in Jerusalem; I will cut off from this place the remnant of Baal, [and] the names of the idolatrous priests, with the priests,
Zephaniah 1:5	and those bowing down on the housetops to the host of the heavens, and those bowing down swearing to YHWH, and swearing to Milcom,
Zephaniah 1:6	and those having turned from after YHWH, and who have not sought YHWH and not having inquired of Him.”
Zephaniah 1:7	Be silent before the face of the Lord YHWH, for the day of YHWH [is] near, for YHWH has prepared a sacrifice; He has consecrated those called by Him.
Zephaniah 1:8	“And it will come to pass in the day of the sacrifice of YHWH that I will visit punishment on the princes and on the sons of the king and on all those clothing themselves [with] foreign apparel.
Zephaniah 1:9	And I will visit punishment on all those leaping over the threshold on that day, those filling the house of their masters with violence and deceit.
Zephaniah 1:10	And it will come to pass on that day,” a declaration of YHWH, “The voice of an outcry from the Gate of the Fish, and a wailing from the Mishneh, and a great crashing from the hills.
Zephaniah 1:11	Wail, O dwellers of the Maktesh! For all the merchant people are destroyed; all the bearers of silver are cut off.
Zephaniah 1:12	And it will come to pass, at that time [that] I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will visit punishment upon the men settled in their dregs, those saying in their heart, ‘YHWH does no good, and He will not bring evil.’
Zephaniah 1:13	And their wealth will become as plunder, and their houses as a desolation; they will build houses, and they will not dwell; they will plant vineyards, and they will not drink their wine.
Zephaniah 1:14	Near [is] the great day of YHWH—near, and hastening exceedingly; the noise of the day of YHWH is bitter, then cries out the mighty.
Zephaniah 1:15	A day of wrath [is] that day, a day of adversity and distress, a day of devastation and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of cloud and thick darkness,
Zephaniah 1:16	a day of shofar and battle cry against the fortified cities and against the high corners.
Zephaniah 1:17	And I will bring distress to mankind, and they will walk like the blind, for against YHWH they have sinned; and their blood will be poured out like the dust, and their flesh like dung!
Zephaniah 1:18	Even their silver, even their gold, will not be able to deliver them on the day of the wrath of YHWH; and by the fire of His jealousy will be consumed all the earth, for indeed He will make a sudden end of all those dwelling on the earth!”
Zephaniah 2:1	Gather together, and gather together, O nation not desired,
Zephaniah 2:2	before the bringing forth of the decree—the day passes like chaff—before the burning of the anger of YHWH comes upon you⁺, before the day of the anger of YHWH comes upon you⁺.
Zephaniah 2:3	Seek YHWH, all humble ones of the earth, who have done His justice; seek righteousness, seek humility; perhaps you⁺ will be hidden away on the day of the nose of YHWH.
Zephaniah 2:4	For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon as a desolation; they will drive out Ashdod at noon, and Ekron will be uprooted.
Zephaniah 2:5	Woe [to] those dwelling on the coast of the sea, O nation of Cherethites. The word of YHWH [is] against you⁺, O Canaan, land of the Philistines, “And I will make you perish and no one will be dwelling!”
Zephaniah 2:6	And the coast of the sea will become pastures, with wells for shepherds and folds the flock.
Zephaniah 2:7	And the coast will be for the remnant of the house of Judah; upon them they will shepherd; in the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down in the evening. For YHWH their God will attend to them and turn back their captivity.
Zephaniah 2:8	“I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the sons of Ammon, with which they have scorned My people, and magnified [themselves] against their border.
Zephaniah 2:9	Therefore, [as] I live,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts the God of Israel, “Surely Moab will become like Sodom, and the sons of Ammon like Gomorrah, a possession of the nettle and the pit of salt, and a desolation even to forever! The remnant of My people will plunder them, and the remainder of My people will possess them.”
Zephaniah 2:10	This [is] unto them in exchange for their pride, because they have scorned and magnified [themselves] against the people of YHWH of Hosts.
Zephaniah 2:11	Fearsome [is] YHWH against them, for he will starve all the gods of the earth; and will bow down to Him all the coasts of the nations, each man from his place.
Zephaniah 2:12	“Also you⁺, O Cushites—they will be slain by My sword.”
Zephaniah 2:13	And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and He will destroy Assyria; and He will set Nineveh as a desolation, as dry as the desert.
Zephaniah 2:14	And the herds will lie down in her midst, every beast of the nation; even the desert owl and screech owl will lodge in her capitals. Their voice will sing in the window, desolation on the threshold; for He will lay bare the cedar work.
Zephaniah 2:15	This [is] the jubilant city the one dwelling in security, saying in her heart, “I [am], and ceases to be another!” How she has become as a desolation, a resting place for the beast! Everyone passing by her will hiss and shake his fist.
Zephaniah 3:1	Woe [to] her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!
Zephaniah 3:2	She has not listened to [His] voice, she does not receive discipline; in YHWH she does not trust; to her God she does not draw near.
Zephaniah 3:3	Her princes within her [are] roaring lions, her judges [are] wolves of the evening leaving nothing for the morning.
Zephaniah 3:4	Her prophets are reckless, men of treacheries; her priests have profaned the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.
Zephaniah 3:5	YHWH [is] righteous within her; He will not do injustice; morning by morning He gives His justice; at the light He is not lacking; the unjust one is knowning no shame.
Zephaniah 3:6	“I have cut off nations; their corners are desolate; I have made desolate their streets without one passing through; their cities are destroyed, without a man, with no one dwelling.
Zephaniah 3:7	I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me; you will receive discipline.’ Then her dwelling would not be cut off, by all that I have visited upon her. Nevertheless, they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.
Zephaniah 3:8	Therefore wait for Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “Until the day of My arising to testify. For My judgment [is] to gather the nations, to assemble unto Me the kingdoms, to pour out on them My indignation, all the burning of my nose! Indeed, with the fire of My jealousy all the earth will be consumed.
Zephaniah 3:9	For then I will turn over to the peoples a lip made pure, to call for all of them on the name of YHWH, to serve Him with one shoulder.
Zephaniah 3:10	From beyond the rivers of Cush, My worshipers, the daughter of My dispersed ones, will bring My offering.
Zephaniah 3:11	On that day you will not feel shame from any of your deeds, with which you have transgressed against Me; for then I will turn away from your midst the jubilant ones of your pride, and you will continue no longer to be haughty on the mountain of My holiness.
Zephaniah 3:12	And I will leave in your midst a people humble and poor, and they will take refuge in the name of YHWH.
Zephaniah 3:13	The remnant of Israel will not do injustice, and they will not speak lies, and in their mouth will not be found a tongue of deceit. For they will feed the flocks and will lie down, and there will not be one frightening them.”
Zephaniah 3:14	Sing out, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
Zephaniah 3:15	YHWH has turned aside your judgments; He has turned back your enemy; the King of Israel, YHWH, [is] among you; you will fear evil no more.
Zephaniah 3:16	On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion, do not let your hands be slack!
Zephaniah 3:17	[For] YHWH your God [is] among you, the Mighty One [who] saves; He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet [you] with His love; He will be joyous over you with singing.”
Zephaniah 3:18	“Those sorrowing from the appointed [assembly] I will gather [up], [put away] from you they will be—a lifting away, [and] along with it reproach.
Zephaniah 3:19	Behold, I will be dealing with all who afflict you at that time; and I will save the lame, and those driven out I will gather, and I will set them for praise and for renown in every land of their shame.
Zephaniah 3:20	At that time I will bring you⁺ in, at the time I gather you⁺. For I will give to you⁺ renown and praise among all the peoples of the earth, in my returning your⁺ captives before your⁺ eyes!” Says YHWH.
Haggai 1:1	In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of YHWH came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying:
Haggai 1:2	Thus speaks YHWH of Hosts, saying: “This people says, ‘The time has not come, the time for the house of YHWH to be built.’”
Haggai 1:3	And the word came of YHWH by the hand of Haggai the prophet, saying:
Haggai 1:4	“[Is it] time for you⁺ yourselves to dwell in your⁺ paneled houses, and this house [is] desolate?”
Haggai 1:5	And now, thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your⁺ heart upon your⁺ ways.
Haggai 1:6	You⁺ have sown much, and you have brought in little; you eat, and not to satisfaction; you drink, and not to drunkenness; One wears clothes, and there is no warmth to it; and the wage earner earns wages into a bag pierced through.”
Haggai 1:7	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Set your⁺ heart upon your⁺ ways.
Haggai 1:8	Go up to the mountains, and bring wood, and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified, says YHWH.
Haggai 1:9	[You] turned for much, and behold, little; and you⁺ brought it home, and I blew it away. Because of what? An utterance of YHWH of Hosts, because of My house, the [way] that it [is] [in] ruins, while you⁺ are running, each man to his house.
Haggai 1:10	Upon thus, the heavens above you⁺ withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
Haggai 1:11	And I have called for a drought on the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain and on the new wine and on the oil, and on whatever the ground brings forth, and on mankind and on the livestock, and on all the labor of the hands.”
Haggai 1:12	And Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, and Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, along with all the remnant of the people, listened to the voice of YHWH their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because YHWH their God had sent him; and the people were afraid before the face of YHWH.
Haggai 1:13	And Haggai the messenger of YHWH spoke the message of YHWH to the people, saying: “I [am] with you⁺,” a declaration of YHWH.
Haggai 1:14	And YHWH stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work on the house of YHWH of Hosts, their God,
Haggai 1:15	on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth [month], in the second year of Darius the king.
Haggai 2:1	In the seventh [month], on the twenty-first of the month, the word of YHWH came by the hand Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai 2:2	“Speak now to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the remnant of the people, saying:
Haggai 2:3	‘Who [is] remaining among you⁺ that saw this house in its former glory? And how are you⁺ seeing it now? [Is it] not in comparison as nothing in your⁺ eyes?’
Haggai 2:4	And now be strong, O Zerubbabel, a declaration of YHWH, and be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, a declaration of YHWH, and work. For I [am] with you⁺, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts,
Haggai 2:5	the word that I cut with you⁺ at your⁺ coming forth from Egypt, and My Spirit is standing in your⁺ midst. Do not be afraid!”
Haggai 2:6	For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Once more, it [is] a little while, and I will be shaking the heavens and the earth, and the sea and the dry land.
Haggai 2:7	And I will shake all the nations, and they will come with the treasure of all the nations, and I will fill this house with glory, says YHWH of Hosts.
Haggai 2:8	Unto Me [is] the silver, and unto Me the gold, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Haggai 2:9	Greater will be the glory of this latter house than the former, says YHWH of Hosts, and in this place I will give peace, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.”
Haggai 2:10	On the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, the word of YHWH came to Haggai the prophet, saying:
Haggai 2:11	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Ask now the priests [about] the law, saying,
Haggai 2:12	behold, [if] a man should carry holy flesh in the fold of his garment, and he touches with his fold against bread, or stew, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy?’” And the priests answered and said, “No.”
Haggai 2:13	And Haggai said, “If one unclean by a dead body touches any of these [things], will it be unclean?” And the priests answered and said, “It will be unclean.”
Haggai 2:14	And Haggai answered and said, “Thus [is] this people, and thus [is] this nation before My face, a declaration of YHWH, and thus [is] every work of their hands, and what they offer there, it [is] unclean.
Haggai 2:15	And now, set, please, your⁺ heart from this day and onward: From before a stone was placed upon a stone in the house of YHWH,
Haggai 2:16	From their being, [when] one came toward a heap of twenty, then there were [but] ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty [from] the press, then there were [but] twenty.
Haggai 2:17	I struck you⁺ with the blight and with mildew and with hail, all the work of your⁺ hands, and you⁺ [were] not with Me, a declaration of YHWH.
Haggai 2:18	Set now your⁺ heart from this day and onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], from the day that the temple of YHWH was founded—set your⁺ heart!
Haggai 2:19	Is the seed still in the barn? Until now the vine and the fig tree and the pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne; from this day I will bless.”
Haggai 2:20	And the word of YHWH came a second [time] to Haggai on the twenty-fourth of the month, saying,
Haggai 2:21	“Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying: I am going to shake the heavens and the earth;
Haggai 2:22	and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots and those riding them, and the horses and their riders will come down, each man by the sword of his brother.
Haggai 2:23	On that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, I will take you, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, My servant, a declaration of YHWH, and will set you as a signet ring, for I have chosen you, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.”
Zechariah 1:1	In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
Zechariah 1:2	“YHWH has been angry at your⁺ fathers with wrath.
Zechariah 1:3	Therefore you shall say to them, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Return to Me, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, and I will return to you⁺, says YHWH of Hosts.’
Zechariah 1:4	Do not be like your⁺ fathers, to whom the former prophets called, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Turn aside now from your⁺ evil ways and your⁺ evil deeds.’ They did not hear and did not pay attention to Me, a declaration of YHWH.
Zechariah 1:5	Your⁺ fathers, where [are] they? And the prophets, do they live forever?
Zechariah 1:6	Indeed, My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did not they overtake your⁺ fathers? And they returned and said, ‘As YHWH of Hosts determined to do to us, according to our ways and according to our deeds, so He has done [to] us.’”
Zechariah 1:7	On the twenty and fourth day of the one [and] tenth month, it [is] the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of YHWH came to Zechariah son of Berechiah son of Iddo, the prophet, saying:
Zechariah 1:8	I saw [in] the night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and it was standing among the myrtle trees that [were] in the hollow; and behind him [were] red, sorrel, and white horses.
Zechariah 1:9	And I said, “What [are] these, my lord?” And the angel speaking with me said to me, “I will show you what they [are], these [things].”
Zechariah 1:10	And the man standing among the myrtle trees answered, and he said: “These [are they] whom YHWH has sent to walk to and fro on the earth.”
Zechariah 1:11	And they answered the angel of YHWH standing among the myrtle trees, and they said, “We have walked to and fro on the earth, and behold, all the earth is sitting and being quiet.”
Zechariah 1:12	And the angel of YHWH answered and said, “O YHWH of Hosts, until when will You have no compassion [on] Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which You have been angry these seventy years?”
Zechariah 1:13	And YHWH answered the angel speaking with me good words, words of comfort.
Zechariah 1:14	And the angel speaking with me said to me, “Call out, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with great zeal.
Zechariah 1:15	And with great wrath I am angry with the nations at ease; for I was a little angry, and they have helped the calamity!”
Zechariah 1:16	Therefore, thus says YHWH: ‘I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion; My house will be built within her, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, and a line will be stretched out over Jerusalem.’
Zechariah 1:17	Again call out, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts: ‘Again My cities will overflow with goodness; and YHWH again will comfort Zion, and He will choose again Jerusalem.’”
Zechariah 1:18	And I raised my eyes, and looked, and behold, four horns.
Zechariah 1:19	And I said to the angel [who] was speaking with me, “What [are] these?” And he said to me, “These [are] the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”
Zechariah 1:20	And YHWH showed me four craftsmen.
Zechariah 1:21	And I said, “What [are] these coming to do?” And He answered, saying, “These [are] the horns that scattered Judah so that not a person could lift up his head; and these are coming to make them tremble, to cast down the horns of the nations [who] have lifted up the horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”
Zechariah 2:1	And I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man, and in his hand [was] a measuring line.
Zechariah 2:2	And I said, “Where [are] you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its width and what [is] its length.”
Zechariah 2:3	And behold, the angel [who] was speaking with me went forth, and another angel was coming out to meet him.
Zechariah 2:4	And he said to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, ‘Jerusalem will sit in the open country, because of the multitude of men and livestock in her midst.
Zechariah 2:5	And I will be unto her, a declaration of YHWH, a wall of fire all around, and I will be as glory in her midst!’”
Zechariah 2:6	“Up, up, and flee from the land of the north,” a declaration of YHWH, “For like the four winds of the heavens, I have scattered you⁺,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zechariah 2:7	“Up, O Zion, Escape, [you who] are dwelling with the daughter of Babylon.”
Zechariah 2:8	For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “After [His] Glory sent me to the nations [who] are plundering you⁺—for the one touching you⁺ is touching the apple of His eye—
Zechariah 2:9	for, behold, I I am waving My hand against them, and they will become plunder for their own servants. And you⁺ will know that YHWH of Hosts has sent me.
Zechariah 2:10	Sing out and be glad, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming, and I will dwell in your midst,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zechariah 2:11	“And many nations will be joined to YHWH on that day; and they will become unto Me as a people, and I will dwell in your midst. And you will know that YHWH of Hosts has sent me to you.
Zechariah 2:12	And YHWH will inherit Judah [as] His portion upon the land of Holiness, and He will choose again Jerusalem.
Zechariah 2:13	Be silent, all flesh, before the face of YHWH! For He has roused Himself from the abode of His holiness!”
Zechariah 3:1	And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of YHWH, and Satan was standing at his right hand to oppose him.
Zechariah 3:2	And YHWH said to Satan, “YHWH rebukes you, Satan! And may YHWH who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you. Is not this a firebrand snatched from the fire?”
Zechariah 3:3	And Joshua was there, dressed in filthy garments, and he was standing before the angel.
Zechariah 3:4	And he answered and spoke to those standing before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And he said to him, “See, your iniquity I have made pass from you, and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
Zechariah 3:5	And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” And they put a clean turban on his head, and they clothed him with garments, and the angel of YHWH was standing by.
Zechariah 3:6	And the angel of YHWH testified to Joshua, saying,
Zechariah 3:7	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, ‘If you will walk in My ways and if you will keep My command, then you will judge My house, and also guard My courts, and I will give to you goings among these ones standing by.
Zechariah 3:8	Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your companions sitting before you, for they [are] men of a sign: Now behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the Branch.
Zechariah 3:9	For behold, the stone that I have given before the face of Joshua, upon a single stone [with] seven eyes, behold, I am engraving its inscription, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Zechariah 3:10	On that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, each man will call his neighbor to [be] under his vine and under his fig tree.’”
Zechariah 4:1	And the angel speaking with me returned, and he woke me as a man who is wakened from his sleep;
Zechariah 4:2	and he said to me: “What [are] you seeing?” And I said, “I am looking, and behold, a lampstand of gold, all of it, and a bowl on its head, and seven lamps on it—seven and seven pipes for the lamps that are on its head.
Zechariah 4:3	And two olive trees [are] by it, one on the right of the bowl, and one on its left.”
Zechariah 4:4	And I answered and spoke to the angel who was speaking with me, saying: “What [are] these, my lord?”
Zechariah 4:5	And the angel who was speaking with me answered, and he said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
Zechariah 4:6	And he answered and spoke to me, saying: “This [is] the word of YHWH to Zerubbabel, saying: Not by might, and not by power, but only by My Spirit, says YHWH of Hosts.
Zechariah 4:7	Who [are] you, great mountain? Before the face of Zerubbabel as a plain; and he will bring forth the stone [at] the head [with] shouts: ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
Zechariah 4:8	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Zechariah 4:9	“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and His hands will complete it. And you will know that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you⁺.
Zechariah 4:10	For who has despised the day of small things, and they will rejoice when they see the tin plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel? These seven, they [are] the eyes of YHWH, roving about through all the earth.”
Zechariah 4:11	And I answered and said to him: “What [are] these two olive trees at the right of the lampstand and at its left?”
Zechariah 4:12	And I answered a second time and said to him: “What [are] the two branches of the olive trees that, into the hands of the two pipes of gold, are emptying out from them the gold?”
Zechariah 4:13	And he answered to me and said: “Do not you know what these [are]?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
Zechariah 4:14	And he said, “These [are] the two sons of new oil, [who are] standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”
Zechariah 5:1	And I turned and lifted up my eyes, and looked, and behold, a flying scroll.
Zechariah 5:2	And he said to me, “What [are] you seeing?” And I answered, “I am seeing a flying scroll. Its length [is] twenty by the cubit, and its width [is] ten by the cubit.”
Zechariah 5:3	And he said to me, “This [is] the curse that is going out over the face of all the earth. For everyone stealing, on this side according to it he will be cleaned out, and everyone swearing falsely, on this side according to it he will be cleaned out.
Zechariah 5:4	I will send it out, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of the one swearing by My name for deception, and it will lodge in the midst of his house and will put an end to it and its timbers and its stones!”
Zechariah 5:5	And the angel speaking with me came forth, and he said to me: “Lift now your eyes, and see what this [is] that is going forth.”
Zechariah 5:6	And I said, “What [is] it?” And he said, “This [is] the basket that is going forth.” And he said, “This [is] their iniquity in all the land.”
Zechariah 5:7	And behold, a disc of lead was being lifted, and this [is] a lone woman sitting in the midst of the basket.
Zechariah 5:8	And he said, “This [is] Wickedness.” And he threw her down into the midst of the basket, and he threw the weight of lead over its mouth.
Zechariah 5:9	And I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, two women were coming forth, and the wind [was] in their wings! And unto them [were] wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between the earth and between the heavens.
Zechariah 5:10	And I said to the angel speaking with me, “Where [are] they bringing the basket?”
Zechariah 5:11	And he said to me, “To build for it a house in the land of Shinar; and when it is ready, it will be made to rest there on its base.”
Zechariah 6:1	And I turned and lifted up my eyes, and I looked, and behold, four chariots were coming forth from between two mountains; and the mountains [were] mountains of bronze.
Zechariah 6:2	With the first chariot [were] red horses, and with the second chariot black horses,
Zechariah 6:3	and with the third chariot white horses, and with the fourth chariot spotted horses—strong.
Zechariah 6:4	And I answered and said to the angel speaking with me, “What [are] these, my lord?”
Zechariah 6:5	And the angel answered and said to me, “These [are] the four spirits of the heavens going forth from the standing next to the Lord of all the earth.
Zechariah 6:6	The one with the black horses is going forth to the land of the north, and the white ones are going forth to the west, and the spotted ones are going forth to the land of the south.”
Zechariah 6:7	And the strong ones went forth, they sought to go about, going to and fro on the earth. And He said, “Go, walk up and down on the earth.” And they went to and fro on the earth.
Zechariah 6:8	And He called to me and spoke to me, saying: “See, those going forth to the land of the north have given rest to My Spirit in the land of the north.”
Zechariah 6:9	And the word of YHWH came to me, saying:
Zechariah 6:10	“Take from the captive, from Heldai, from Tobiah, and from Jedaiah (who have come from Babylon). And you will come on that day and go into the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah.
Zechariah 6:11	And you shall take silver and gold, and you shall make crowns. And you shall set [them] on the head of Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest,
Zechariah 6:12	and you shall speak to him, saying, thus says YHWH of Hosts, saying: ‘Behold, a man—the Branch [is] his name—and from underneath him, he will branch forth and will build the temple of YHWH.
Zechariah 6:13	And he will build the temple of YHWH, and [it is] he [who] will bear the splendor, and he will sit and rule upon his throne. And He will be a priest on His throne, and a counsel of peace will be between the two of them.’
Zechariah 6:14	And the crowns will be for Helem, and Tobiah, and Jedaiah, and Hen son of Zephaniah, as a memorial in the temple of YHWH.
Zechariah 6:15	And the far off will come and do building work on the temple of YHWH, and you⁺ will know that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you⁺. And it will come to pass if you⁺ diligently listen to the voice of YHWH your⁺ God.”
Zechariah 7:1	And it came to pass in the fourth year of Darius the king, [that] the word of YHWH came to Zechariah on the fourth [day] of the ninth month, in Chislev.
Zechariah 7:2	And Bethel had sent Sar-ezer, and Regem-melech, and his men to ask for favor before YHWH
Zechariah 7:3	[and] to speak to the priests who [were] in the house of YHWH of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, “Should I weep in the fifth month and fast, even as I have done this how many years?”
Zechariah 7:4	And the word of YHWH of Hosts came to me, saying,
Zechariah 7:5	“Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, ‘When you⁺ fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh [months], and these seventy years, were you⁺ truly fasting [for] Me?
Zechariah 7:6	For when you⁺ were eating and when you⁺ were drinking, [was it] not [for] yourselves [that] you were eating and [for] yourselves [that] you were drinking?
Zechariah 7:7	Are not [these] the words that YHWH called out by the hand of the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and prosperous, and her cities around her, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited?’”
Zechariah 7:8	And the word of YHWH came to Zechariah, saying,
Zechariah 7:9	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts, saying: ‘Judge with true justice, and loving devotion and compassion each man must do with his brother;
Zechariah 7:10	and the widow and fatherless, the sojourner and the poor, you⁺ shall not oppress; and you⁺ shall not devise in your⁺ heart the evil of a man [against] his brother!’
Zechariah 7:11	And they refused to pay attention, and they gave the shoulder, acting rebelliously, and their ears they made heavy from hearing;
Zechariah 7:12	and their hearts they made flint, from hearing the law and the words that YHWH of Hosts had sent by His Spirit, by the hand of the former prophets. And there was great wrath from YHWH of Hosts.
Zechariah 7:13	And it came to pass [that] when He called out, then they would not listen. So they will call out, and I will not listen, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts—
Zechariah 7:14	and I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations that they had not known. And the land was left desolate after them from passing through or returning; and they made the land of desire into a desolation!”
Zechariah 8:1	And the word of YHWH of Hosts came, saying,
Zechariah 8:2	thus says YHWH of Hosts: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great rage I am jealous for her!”
Zechariah 8:3	Thus says YHWH: “I will return to Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of YHWH of Hosts, the Mountain of Holiness.”
Zechariah 8:4	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Again old men and old women will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand from an abundance of days.
Zechariah 8:5	And the streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.”
Zechariah 8:6	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also in My eyes be marvelous?” An utterance of YHWH of Hosts.
Zechariah 8:7	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the sunrise and from the land of the going in of the sun.
Zechariah 8:8	And I will bring them in, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and they will be unto Me as a people, and I will be unto them God, in truth and in righteousness.”
Zechariah 8:9	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Let your⁺ hands be strong, hearing in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets who [spoke] in the day [that] the house of YHWH of Hosts was founded to build the temple.
Zechariah 8:10	For before those days there was not a wage for man or a wage for beast. There was not one going forth and one coming in, nor peace from the enemy, and I sent all mankind—each man—against his neighbor.
Zechariah 8:11	And now not as [in] the former days [am] I to the remnant of this people,” a declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Zechariah 8:12	“Because of the sowing of peace, the vine will give her fruit, and the ground will give her increase, and the heavens will give their dew; and [to] the remnant of this people I will give as an inheritance all these [things].
Zechariah 8:13	And it will come to pass [that] as you⁺ were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you⁺, and you⁺ will be a blessing. Do not be afraid; let your⁺ hands be strong.”
Zechariah 8:14	For thus says YHWH of Hosts: “As I purposed to bring disaster upon you⁺ when your⁺ fathers provoked Me to wrath, says YHWH of Hosts, and I would not relent,
Zechariah 8:15	so again I have purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Do not fear!
Zechariah 8:16	These [are] the things that you⁺ will do: Speak the truth, every man with his neighbor; [in] truth and judgment of peace render judgment in your⁺ gates;
Zechariah 8:17	and each man, you⁺ shall not devise evil against a neighbor in your⁺ heart, and an oath of deception you⁺ shall not love, for all these [are] that which I hate,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zechariah 8:18	And the word of YHWH of Hosts came to me, saying:
Zechariah 8:19	“Thus says YHWH of Hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, will be for the house of Judah as joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. And love the truth and the peace.”
Zechariah 8:20	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Yet that peoples will come, and dwellers of many cities.
Zechariah 8:21	And will go those dwelling in one to one, saying, ‘Let us go at once to ask for favor before the face of YHWH, and to seek YHWH of Hosts; I will go—even I.’
Zechariah 8:22	And will come many peoples and strong nations to seek YHWH of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to ask for favor before the face of YHWH.”
Zechariah 8:23	Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “In those days, will take hold ten men from every language of the nations, and they will take hold on the sleeve of a man, a Jew, saying, ‘Let us go with you⁺, for we have heard [that] God [is] with you⁺.’”
Zechariah 9:1	The burden of the word of YHWH against the land of Hadrach, and Damascus its resting place—For unto YHWH [is] an eye on mankind, and [on] all the tribes of Israel—
Zechariah 9:2	and Hamath [that] borders on her, and Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise.
Zechariah 9:3	And Tyre has built a tower for herself, and she has heaped up silver like the dust and gold like the mud of the streets.
Zechariah 9:4	Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and cast her wealth into the sea, and she will be consumed by the fire!
Zechariah 9:5	Ashkelon will see and fear, and also Gaza will greatly writhe, and Ekron, for her expectation He has dried up. And the king will perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited,
Zechariah 9:6	and a mixed race will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Zechariah 9:7	And I will turn away the blood from his mouth, and the abominations from between his teeth; and the one who remains, even he [is] unto our God, and he will be like a clan in Judah, and Ekron like a Jebusite.
Zechariah 9:8	And I will camp around My house [as] a guard against the one passing by and the one returning; and no oppressor will pass through them anymore, for now I look on with My own eyes!
Zechariah 9:9	Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He [is] righteous and bearing salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zechariah 9:10	And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem; and the bow of battle will be cut off, and He will speak peace to the nations, and His dominion [is] from sea to sea and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Zechariah 9:11	As [for] you also, by the blood of your covenant, I will set free your prisoners from the pit without water in it.
Zechariah 9:12	So return to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope. Even this day I declare [that] I will return double to you.
Zechariah 9:13	For I have bent for Myself Judah [as] a bow, I have filled [it] with Ephraim, and I have raised up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Javan, and I have set like the sword of a mighty one!
Zechariah 9:14	And YHWH will be seen over them, and His arrow will go forth like lightning; and the Lord YHWH will blow on the shofar, and He will go forth with storms from the south.
Zechariah 9:15	YHWH of Hosts will give cover over them, and they will devour, and they will conquer with stones of a sling; and they will drink [and] roar as if [with] wine, and they will be full like a bowl, like the corners of the altar!
Zechariah 9:16	And YHWH their God will save them on that day, as the flock of His people; indeed the stones of a diadem, will be shining over His land.
Zechariah 9:17	For how great His goodness, and what His beauty! Grain [for] the young men, and new wine will make flourish the young women.
Zechariah 10:1	Ask from YHWH the rain in the time of the spring rain; and YHWH, the One making the storm clouds, He will give to them the shower of rain, to each man the herb in the field.
Zechariah 10:2	For the teraphim speak delusion, and the diviners see deception, and they speak of dreams of emptiness; in vain they give comfort. Upon thus they set out like sheep; they are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
Zechariah 10:3	“Against the shepherds, My anger is kindled; and against the he-goats, I lay a charge. But YHWH of Hosts will attend to His flock, the house of Judah, and He will set them as a horse of His splendor in the battle.
Zechariah 10:4	From him [is] the cornerstone, from him the [tent] peg, from him the bow of battle; from him comes every ruler together.
Zechariah 10:5	And they will be like mighty ones, trampling in the mud of the streets in the battle; and they will fight, for YHWH [is] with them, and they will put to shame the riders of horses.
Zechariah 10:6	And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and the house of Joseph I will save; and I will bring them back because I have compassion on them, and they will be as though I had not cast them aside. For I [am] YHWH their God, and I will answer them.
Zechariah 10:7	And Ephraim will become like a mighty one, and their heart will be glad as with wine; and their children will see [it] and will be glad; their heart will rejoice in YHWH.
Zechariah 10:8	I will whistle for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them; and they will be many, as they were many.
Zechariah 10:9	And I will sow them among the peoples, and in far-off places they will remember Me; and they will live together with their sons, and they will return.
Zechariah 10:10	And I will bring them back from the land of Egypt, and from Assyria I will gather them, and to the lands of Gilead and Lebanon I will bring them, until no [place] can be found for them.
Zechariah 10:11	And He will pass through the sea of distress, and He will strike the waves of that sea, and He will dry up all the depths of the River. And the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
Zechariah 10:12	And I will make them mighty in YHWH, and in His name they will walk,” a declaration of YHWH.
Zechariah 11:1	Open, O Lebanon, your doors, that fire may devour your cedars!
Zechariah 11:2	Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, for the mighty ones are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for forest the dense has gone down.
Zechariah 11:3	A voice of wailing [is] among the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins a voice of the roaring of lions, for the height of the Jordan has been devastated.
Zechariah 11:4	Thus says YHWH my God: “Shepherd the flock of the slaughter.
Zechariah 11:5	Those who are buying them will slaughter them, and they will not be [held] guilty; and those selling them will say, ‘Blessed be YHWH, for I have become rich.’ And their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
Zechariah 11:6	So I will not have compassion any longer on those dwelling in the land, a declaration of YHWH, and behold, I am causing to come forth mankind—each man into the hand of his neighbor, and into the hand of his king—and they will crush the land, and I will not deliver from their hand.”
Zechariah 11:7	And I pastured the flock of slaughter, the afflicted of the flock, and I took for myself two staffs—to one I called Favor, and to one I called Union—and I pastured the flock.
Zechariah 11:8	And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and My soul became short with them, and also their soul felt loathing for me.
Zechariah 11:9	And I said, “I will not shepherd you⁺. The one dying, let die, and the one cut off, let it be cut off. And those remaining, let each one eat the flesh of its neighbor!”
Zechariah 11:10	And I took my staff Favor, and cut it in two, to break apart the covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
Zechariah 11:11	And it was broken on that day, so the afflicted of the flock watching me knew that it [was] the word of YHWH.
Zechariah 11:12	And I said to them, “If [it is] good to you⁺, give [me] my wage; and if not, forgo [it].” And they weighed out my wage, thirty of silver.
Zechariah 11:13	And YHWH said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty of silver, and I threw it [into] the house of YHWH, to the potter.
Zechariah 11:14	And I cut in two my second staff, Union, to break the brotherhood between Judah and between Israel.
Zechariah 11:15	And YHWH said to me, “Again take for yourself the implement of a foolish shepherd.
Zechariah 11:16	For behold, I am raising up a shepherd in the land: Those being cut off he will not attend to; the young one he will not seek, and the one being broken he will not heal. The one standing still he will not sustain, and the flesh of the fat one he will devour, and their hooves he will tear off!
Zechariah 11:17	Woe to the worthless shepherd, leaving behind the flock. May a sword [be] against his arm and against his right eye. May his arm completely wither, and his right eye be exceedingly!”
Zechariah 12:1	The burden of the word of YHWH against Israel. Thus says YHWH, the One stretching out the heavens, and founding the earth, and forming the spirit of man within him:
Zechariah 12:2	“Behold, I am setting Jerusalem [as] a cup of drunkenness for all the peoples round about. Even against Judah it will be in the siege [and] against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:3	And it will come to pass in that day, [that] I will set Jerusalem [as] a stone of burden for all the peoples; all loading it will be severely cut. They will gather against it—all the nations of the earth.
Zechariah 12:4	On that day, a declaration of YHWH, I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness. And upon the house of Judah I will [keep] open My eyes, and every horse of the peoples I will strike with blindness.
Zechariah 12:5	And the clans of Judah will say in their heart, ‘Strength for those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] in YHWH of Hosts, their God.’
Zechariah 12:6	On that day I will set the clans of Judah as a basin of fire among the trees, and as a torch of fire among the sheaves; and they will devour on the right and on the left all the peoples round about, and Jerusalem will dwell again in her place, in Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:7	And YHWH will save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of those dwelling in Jerusalem will not become great beyond Judah.
Zechariah 12:8	On that day YHWH will cover over those dwelling in Jerusalem, and the one stumbling among them will be on that day like David, and the house of David like God, like the angel of YHWH, before their faces!
Zechariah 12:9	And it will come to pass on that day, [that] I will seek to destroy all the nations who are coming against Jerusalem.
Zechariah 12:10	And I will pour out on the house of David and on those dwelling in Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication, and they will look on Me, whom they have pierced. And they will mourn for Him, like the mourning over the only one, and grieving over Him like the grieving over a firstborn.
Zechariah 12:11	On that day the mourning in Jerusalem will be great, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.
Zechariah 12:12	And the land will mourn, clans [by] clans, each by itself; the clan of the house of David by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of the house of Nathan by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Zechariah 12:13	the clan of the house of Levi by itself, and their wives by themselves; the clan of Shimei by itself, and their wives by themselves;
Zechariah 12:14	all the clans remaining, clans [by] clans, each by itself, and their wives by themselves.
Zechariah 13:1	[“] On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David, and for those dwelling in Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity.
Zechariah 13:2	And it will come to pass on that day, a declaration of YHWH of Hosts, [that] I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will not be remembered anymore; and also the prophets and the spirit of impurity I will make pass from the land.
Zechariah 13:3	And it will come to pass, if a man prophesies still, that his father and mother [who] bore him will say to him, ‘You will not live, for you have spoken deception in the name of YHWH.’ And his father and mother [who] bore him will pierce him through at his prophesying.
Zechariah 13:4	And it will come to pass in that day, [that] will feel shame the prophets, each man from his vision, in his prophesying; and they will not clothe themselves [with] a cloak of hair in order to deceive.
Zechariah 13:5	And he will say, ‘I [am] not a prophet; I [am] a farmer working the land, for a man acquired me in my youth.
Zechariah 13:6	And [if] it is said to him, ‘What [are] these wounds between your hands?’ He will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’
Zechariah 13:7	O Sword, awake against My shepherd, and against a man, My companion, a declaration of YHWH of hosts. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones!
Zechariah 13:8	And it will come to pass, in all the land, a declaration of YHWH, a measure that two in it will be cut off [and] die, and the third will remain in it.
Zechariah 13:9	And I will bring the third through the fire, and I will refine them like the refining of silver, and I will test them like the testing of gold. He will call on my name, and I will answer him. I will say, ‘It [is] My people,’ and he will say, ‘YHWH [is] My God.’”
Zechariah 14:1	Behold, a day of YHWH is coming, and your plunder will be divided in your midst,
Zechariah 14:2	and I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle. And the city will be captured, and the houses plundered, and the women ravished; and half of the city will go forth into exile, and the remnant of the people will not be cut off from the city.
Zechariah 14:3	And YHWH will go forth, and He will do battle against those nations, as in the day of His fighting in a day of battle.
Zechariah 14:4	And His feet will stand on that day upon the Mount of Olives, which [is] upon the face of Jerusalem from the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split, from half of it on the east and on the west, a very great valley; and half of the mountain will move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah 14:5	And you⁺ will flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azal; and you⁺ will flee, as when you⁺ fled from the face of the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And YHWH my God will come, [and] all the holy ones with Him.
Zechariah 14:6	And it will come to pass on that day, [that] there will not be light, cold, or frost.
Zechariah 14:7	And it will be a unique day—it [is] known to YHWH—with no day and no night, and it will come to pass at the time of evening, [that] there will be light.
Zechariah 14:8	And it will come to pass, in that day, [that] will go forth living waters from Jerusalem—half of them toward the Eastern Sea, and half of them toward the Western Sea; in the summer and in the winter it will come to pass.
Zechariah 14:9	And YHWH will be King over all the earth; in that day YHWH will be one, and His name one.
Zechariah 14:10	All the land will be turned into a plain, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem, and she will be raised up and dwell in her place, from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the First Gate, to the Gate of the Corner, and [from] the Tower of Hananel to the winepresses of the king.
Zechariah 14:11	And they will dwell in her, and there will be utter destruction no longer, and Jerusalem will dwell in safety.
Zechariah 14:12	And this will be the plague with which YHWH will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: The rotting of his flesh, and he is standing on his feet; his eyes will rot in their sockets, and the tongue will rot in their mouth.
Zechariah 14:13	And it will come to pass, in that day, [that] there will be a great panic from YHWH among them, and each man will seize the hand of his neighbor, and will raise his hand against the hand of his neighbor.
Zechariah 14:14	And also Judah will fight in Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the nations round about will be gathered together—gold, and silver, and garments, in great abundance.
Zechariah 14:15	And so will be the plague on the horse, the mule, the camel, and the donkey, and on all the cattle that may be in those camps, as this plague.
Zechariah 14:16	And it will come to pass [that] everyone remaining from all the nations coming against Jerusalem will go up, year by year, to bow down to the King, YHWH of Hosts, and to keep the feast of Booths.
Zechariah 14:17	And it will come to pass [that] whoever does not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem, to bow down to the King, YHWH of Hosts, there will not be on them rain.
Zechariah 14:18	And if the family of Egypt does not go up and does not go in, then [it is] not upon them; [this] will be the plague with which YHWH strikes the nations who do not come up to celebrate the feast of Booths.
Zechariah 14:19	This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to celebrate the feast of Booths.
Zechariah 14:20	On that day it will be on the bells of the horses: HOLY TO YHWH. And the pots in the house of YHWH will be like the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah 14:21	And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be a holy thing to YHWH of hosts; and everyone sacrificing will come and will take from them and will cook in them. And there will be no longer a Canaanite in the house of YHWH of hosts on that day.
Malachi 1:1	The burden of the word of YHWH to Israel by the hand of Malachi:
Malachi 1:2	“I have loved you⁺,” says YHWH. And you⁺ say, “In what way have You loved us?” “Was not Esau a brother to Jacob?” An utterance of YHWH. “And I have loved Jacob,
Malachi 1:3	and Esau I have hated, and I set his mountains [as] a desolation and his inheritance for the jackals of the desert.”
Malachi 1:4	If Edom should say, “We have been beaten down, and we will return and will build the ruins,” thus says YHWH of Hosts: “They may build, and I, I will tear down; and they will call to them the Territory of Wickedness, The people with whom YHWH will be angry even to forever.
Malachi 1:5	And your⁺ eyes will see, and you⁺ will say, ‘Great is YHWH from beyond the border of Israel!’”
Malachi 1:6	“A son honors [his] father, and a servant his master. And if I [am] the Father, where is My honor? And if I [am] the Master, where [is] the fear due Me?” Says YHWH of Hosts to you⁺, O priests despising My name. “And you⁺ say, ‘In what have we despised Your name?’
Malachi 1:7	By bringing near upon My altar food [that is] defiled. And you⁺ say, ‘In what way have we defiled You?’ By your⁺ saying [that] the table of YHWH, it is despised!
Malachi 1:8	For when you⁺ offer the blind as a sacrifice, [is it] not evil? And when you⁺ offer the lame and sick, [is it] not evil? Offer it now to your governor! Would he be pleased with you or would he lift up your face?” Says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 1:9	“And now, beseech, please, the face of God, and He will be gracious to us. From your⁺ hand this has come; will he lift up your⁺ faces?” Says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 1:10	“Who even among you⁺ will shut the doors, so that you⁺ could not kindle fire [on] My altar in vain? There is not for Me delight in you⁺,” says YHWH of Hosts, “And an offering I will not accept from your⁺ hand!
Malachi 1:11	For from the rising of the sun to its going down, great [is] My name among the nations; in every place incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure offering. Indeed, My name will be great among the nations.” Says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 1:12	“And you⁺ profane it by your⁺ saying, The table of the Lord, it is defiled,’ and of its fruit, ‘Its food is contemptible’
Malachi 1:13	and You⁺ also say, ‘Behold, a weariness,’ and you⁺ sneer at it,” says YHWH of Hosts, “And you⁺ bring the stolen, and the lame, and the sick, and you⁺ bring the offering! Should I accept this from your⁺ hands?” Says YHWH.
Malachi 1:14	“And cursed [is] the one plotting, and a male is in his flock, and vowing [it] and sacrificing [what] is blemished to the Lord. For I [am] a great King,” says YHWH of Hosts, “And My name is feared among the nations.
Malachi 2:1	[“] And now, to you⁺ [is] this commandment, O priests:
Malachi 2:2	If you⁺ do not listen and if you⁺ do not set [it] upon the heart to give glory to My name,” says YHWH of Hosts, “Then I will send upon you⁺ the curse, and I will curse your⁺ blessings; indeed already I have cursed them, because there is none of you⁺ setting [it] upon the heart.
Malachi 2:3	Behold, I am giving a rebuke to your⁺ seed, and I will spread dung on your⁺ faces, the dung from your⁺ feasts, and it will carry you⁺ off with it.
Malachi 2:4	And you⁺ will know that I have sent to you⁺ this commandment, in order to continue My covenant with Levi,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 2:5	“My covenant was with him—life and peace—and I gave them to him; fear, and he feared Me, and before My name he was in awe.
Malachi 2:6	The law of truth was in his mouth, and injustice was not found on his lips; in peace and in uprightness He walked with Me, and many did he turn away from iniquity.
Malachi 2:7	For the lips of a priest should guard knowledge, and instruction they should seek from his mouth, for he [is] the messenger of YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 2:8	And you⁺ have turned aside from the way, you⁺ have caused many to stumble by [your] instruction; you⁺ have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 2:9	“And also I have made you⁺ despised and low before all the people, according to the measure by which you⁺ were not keeping guard of My ways, and were lifting faces regarding the instruction.”
Malachi 2:10	Is there not for all of us one Father? Has not one God created us? Why do we act treacherously, a man against his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers?
Malachi 2:11	Judah has acted treacherously, and an abomination has been done in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the sanctuary of YHWH, which He loves, and he has married the daughter of a foreign god.
Malachi 2:12	May YHWH cut off the man who does this, the one being awake and the one answering from the tents of Jacob, and the one drawing near [with] an offering to YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 2:13	And this [is] the second [thing] you⁺ do: You cover with tears the altar of YHWH, with weeping and groaning, because there is not anymore turning to the offering or receiving [it] with acceptance from your⁺ hand.
Malachi 2:14	And you⁺ say, “For what?” Because that YHWH is a witness between you and between the wife of your youth, with whom you have dealt treacherously, and she [is] your companion and the wife of your covenant.
Malachi 2:15	And did He not make [them] one, and a remnant of the Spirit unto him? And what [is] the one? He was seeking seed of God. Therefore keep guard over your⁺ spirit, and do not deal treacherously with the wife of your youth.
Malachi 2:16	“For He hates sending away,” says YHWH the God of Israel, “And he [who] has covered violence with his garment.” Says YHWH of Hosts. You⁺ must keep guard over your⁺ spirit and not act treacherously.
Malachi 2:17	You⁺ have wearied YHWH with your⁺ words. And you⁺ say, “In what way have we wearied [Him]?” By your⁺ saying, “Everyone doing evil [is] good in the eyes of YHWH, and in them He delights,” or, “Where [is] the God of justice?”
Malachi 3:1	“Behold, I am sending My messenger, and he will prepare the way before My face. And suddenly he will come to His temple—the Lord whom you⁺ are seeking, the Messenger of the covenant, in whom you⁺ delight. Behold, He is coming,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 3:2	And who will be enduring the day of His coming? And who will be standing during His appearing? For He [is] like the fire of a refiner, and like the soap of those laundering.
Malachi 3:3	And He will sit as One refining and purifying silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi, and He will refine them like gold and silver, and they will be unto YHWH ones bringing forward an offering in righteousness.
Malachi 3:4	And the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to YHWH, as in the days of old, and as [in] years former.
Malachi 3:5	“And I will come near to you⁺ for the judgment, and I will be a witness making haste against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie, and against those oppressing the wage of the hireling, the widow and the fatherless, and against those stretching away a sojourner, and not they do fear me,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 3:6	“For I, YHWH, do not change; and you⁺, sons of Jacob, have not been consumed.
Malachi 3:7	From the days of your⁺ fathers, you⁺ have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you⁺,” says YHWH of Hosts. “And you⁺ say, ‘In what way can we return?’
Malachi 3:8	Will a man rob God? Yet you⁺ have robbed Me. And you⁺ say, ‘In what way have we robbed You?’ In the tithe and the contribution.
Malachi 3:9	With a curse you⁺ are cursed, and you⁺ are robbing Me—the nation—all of it.
Malachi 3:10	Bring all the tithe into the house of treasure, that there may be food in My house. And test Me now in this,” says YHWH of Hosts, “If I will not open for you⁺ the windows of the heavens and pour out for you⁺ blessing until [there is] no space!
Malachi 3:11	And I will rebuke for you⁺ the devourer, and it will not destroy for you⁺ the fruit of the ground, and the vine in the field will not be barren for you⁺,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 3:12	“And all the nations will call you⁺ blessed, for you⁺ will be a land of delight,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 3:13	“Your⁺ words have been strong against Me,” says YHWH. “And you⁺ say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’
Malachi 3:14	You⁺ have said, ‘To serve God [is] futile! What gain [is] that we have kept His charge, that we have walked as mourners before the face of YHWH of Hosts?
Malachi 3:15	And now we call blessed the arrogant. Also are raised up those doing wickedness; they even test God and escape.’”
Malachi 3:16	Then those who feared YHWH spoke, each man with his neighbor. And YHWH listened and heard, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those fearing YHWH, and for those esteeming His name.
Malachi 3:17	“And they will be unto Me,” says YHWH of Hosts, “On the day when I am making a treasured possession; and I will have compassion on them, as when a man has compassion on his son, the one serving him.
Malachi 3:18	And you⁺ will return and see between the righteous one the wicked one, between the one serving God [and] between the one who does not serve Him.”
Malachi 4:1	“For behold, the day is coming, burning like a furnace, and all the proud and all those doing wickedness will be [as] stubble; and the day that is coming will burn them up,” says YHWH of Hosts, “So that it will not leave for them a root or branch!”
Malachi 4:2	“And for you⁺ who fear My name the sun of righteousness will arise, [with] healing in its wings. And you⁺ will go forth, and you⁺ will leap like calves from the stall.
Malachi 4:3	And you⁺ will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your⁺ feet, on the day that I am preparing,” says YHWH of Hosts.
Malachi 4:4	“Remember the Law of Moses My servant that I commanded him on Horeb for all Israel—the statutes and ordinances.
Malachi 4:5	Behold, I am sending to you⁺ Elijah the prophet, before the face of the coming of the day of YHWH great and awesome.
Malachi 4:6	And he will turn the heart of the fathers to the sons, and the heart of sons to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a curse.” 
Matthew 1:1	The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
Matthew 1:2	Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah and his brothers.
Matthew 1:3	And Judah begat Perez and Zerah out of Tamar, and Perez begat Hezron, and Hezron begat Aram.
Matthew 1:4	And Aram begat Amminadab, and Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon.
Matthew 1:5	And Salmon begat Boaz out of Rahab, and Boaz begat Obed out of Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse,
Matthew 1:6	and Jesse begat David the king. And: David begat Solomon out of her who [was] of Uriah,
Matthew 1:7	and Solomon begat Rehoboam, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, and Abijah begat Asaph.
Matthew 1:8	And Asaph begat Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat begat Joram, and Joram begat Uzziah.
Matthew 1:9	And Uzziah begat Jotham, and Jotham begat Ahaz, and Ahaz begat Hezekiah.
Matthew 1:10	And Hezekiah begat Manasseh, and Manasseh begat Amos, and Amos begat Josiah,
Matthew 1:11	and Josiah begat Jeconiah and his brothers at the deportation to Babylon.
Matthew 1:12	And after the deportation to Babylon: Jeconiah begat Shealtiel, and Shealtiel begat Zerubbabel,
Matthew 1:13	and Zerubbabel begat Abiud, and Abiud begat Eliakim, and Eliakim begat Azor.
Matthew 1:14	And Azor begat Zadok, and Zadok begat Achim, and Achim begat Eliud.
Matthew 1:15	And Eliud begat Eleazar, and Eleazar begat Matthan, and Matthan begat Jacob,
Matthew 1:16	and Jacob begat Joseph, the husband of Mary, out of whom was begotten Jesus, the One being called Christ.
Matthew 1:17	Therefore all the generations from Abraham until David [were] fourteen generations, and from David until the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon until the Christ fourteen generations.
Matthew 1:18	Now the birth of Jesus Christ was thus: His mother Mary, having been betrothed to Joseph, before their coming together was found having in womb from the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:19	And Joseph her husband, being righteous and not willing to make an example of her, resolved to send her away secretly.
Matthew 1:20	But [on] his having pondered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph son of David, you should not be afraid to receive Mary [as] your wife, for that having been begotten in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 1:21	And she will bear a Son, and you will call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:22	And all this has come to pass so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,
Matthew 1:23	“Behold, the virgin will have in womb, and she will bear a son, and they will call His name Immanuel,” which is, being translated, “God with us.”
Matthew 1:24	And Joseph, having been awoken from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and received his wife.
Matthew 1:25	And he did not know her until she bore a Son, and he called His name Jesus.
Matthew 2:1	Now [on] Jesus having been born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,
Matthew 2:2	saying, “Where is the One having been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and came to worship Him.”
Matthew 2:3	And King Herod, having heard, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew 2:4	And having gathered together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring of them where the Christ is born.
Matthew 2:5	And they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet:
Matthew 2:6	‘And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for out of you will come forth One leading, who will shepherd My people Israel.’”
Matthew 2:7	Then Herod, having called the Magi secretly, learned exactly of them the time of the appearing star.
Matthew 2:8	And having sent them to Bethlehem, he said, “Having gone, search carefully for the Child; and when you⁺ shall have found [Him], report to me, so that I also, having come, may worship Him.”
Matthew 2:9	And having heard the king, they went, and behold, the star that they saw in the east went before them until, having come, it stood over where the Child was.
Matthew 2:10	And having seen the star, they rejoiced [with] exceedingly great joy.
Matthew 2:11	And having come into the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary, and having fallen down, they worshiped Him. And having opened their treasures, they offered to Him gifts: gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:12	And having been divinely warned in a dream not to return to Herod, through another way they withdrew to their country.
Matthew 2:13	And [on] their having withdrawn, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream saying, “Having arisen, take the Child and His mother and flee into Egypt. And be there until I should tell you, for Herod is about to seek the Child to destroy Him.”
Matthew 2:14	And having arisen, he took the Child and His mother by night and withdrew into Egypt,
Matthew 2:15	and there he was until the death of Herod, so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”
Matthew 2:16	Then Herod, having seen that he was mocked by the Magi, was exceedingly enraged. And having sent forth, he put to death all the boys in Bethlehem and in all its borders from two years old and under, according to the time that he learned exactly from the Magi.
Matthew 2:17	Then was fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah, saying:
Matthew 2:18	“A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and much mourning, Rachel weeping [for] her children; and she would not be comforted, because they are not.”
Matthew 2:19	But [on] Herod having died, behold, an angel of the Lord appears in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Matthew 2:20	saying, “Having arisen, take the Child and His mother and go into the land of Israel, for those seeking the life of the Child have died.”
Matthew 2:21	And having arisen, he took the Child and His mother and came into the land of Israel.
Matthew 2:22	But having heard that Archelaus reigns over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to depart [to] there. And having been divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the parts of Galilee.
Matthew 2:23	And having come, he dwelt in a city being called Nazareth, so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through the prophets, that “He will be called a Nazarene.”
Matthew 3:1	Now in those days John the Baptist comes, preaching in the wilderness of Judea
Matthew 3:2	and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”
Matthew 3:3	For this is the one having been spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, “A voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.’”
Matthew 3:4	And John himself had his clothing of camel’s hair and a belt of leather around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Matthew 3:5	At that time they were going out to him—Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region around the Jordan.
Matthew 3:6	And they were being baptized in the Jordan River by him, confessing their sins.
Matthew 3:7	But having seen many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Offspring of vipers, who warned you⁺ to flee from the coming wrath?
Matthew 3:8	Therefore produce fruit worthy of repentance.
Matthew 3:9	And do not think to say in yourselves, ‘We have Abraham [as] father.’ For I say to you⁺ that out of these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
Matthew 3:10	And already the ax is laid to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.
Matthew 3:11	I indeed baptize you⁺ in water unto repentance, but the One coming after me is mightier than I, of whom I am not sufficient to carry the sandals. He will baptize you⁺ in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Matthew 3:12	whose winnowing fork [is] in His hand, and He will thoroughly cleanse His threshing floor and will gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Matthew 3:13	Then Jesus comes from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him.
Matthew 3:14	But John was preventing Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and You come to me?”
Matthew 3:15	But answering, Jesus said to him, “Permit [it] presently; for thus it is fitting to us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permits Him.
Matthew 3:16	And having been baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and coming upon Him.
Matthew 3:17	And behold, a voice out of the heavens, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I was well pleased.”
Matthew 4:1	Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.
Matthew 4:2	And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
Matthew 4:3	And the one tempting, having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God, speak, that these stones might become loaves.”
Matthew 4:4	But answering, He said, “It has been written: ‘Not on bread alone shall the man live, but on every word coming out through the mouth of God.’”
Matthew 4:5	Then the devil takes Him to the holy city, and he set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew 4:6	and he says to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it has been written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and on hands they will lift You up, lest ever You might strike Your foot against a stone.’”
Matthew 4:7	Jesus said to him, “Again it has been written: ‘You shall not test the Lord your God.’”
Matthew 4:8	Again the devil takes Him to a mountain exceedingly high and shows to Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
Matthew 4:9	And he said to Him, “All these things I will give to You if, falling down, You worship me.”
Matthew 4:10	Then Jesus says to him, “Go away, Satan! For it has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”
Matthew 4:11	Then the devil leaves Him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to Him.
Matthew 4:12	And having heard that John was delivered up, He withdrew into Galilee.
Matthew 4:13	And having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum, which [is] by the sea in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
Matthew 4:14	that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying:
Matthew 4:15	“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
Matthew 4:16	the people sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in the region and shadow of death, a light dawned on them.”
Matthew 4:17	From that time Jesus began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.”
Matthew 4:18	And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Matthew 4:19	And He says to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you⁺ fishers of men.”
Matthew 4:20	And immediately, having left the nets, they followed Him.
Matthew 4:21	And having gone on from there, He saw two others, brothers, James [son] of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets; and He called them.
Matthew 4:22	And immediately, having left the boat and their father, they followed Him.
Matthew 4:23	And He was going about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
Matthew 4:24	And the news of Him went out into all Syria. And they brought to Him all the ill having various diseases and oppressing torments, and being possessed by demons, and being epileptics, and paralytics, and He healed them.
Matthew 4:25	And [there] followed Him many crowds from Galilee, and the Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
Matthew 5:1	And having seen the crowds, He went up onto the mountain. And [on] His having sat down, His disciples came to Him.
Matthew 5:2	And having opened His mouth, He was teaching them, saying:
Matthew 5:3	“Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:4	Blessed [are] those mourning, because they will be comforted.
Matthew 5:5	Blessed [are] the meek, because they will inherit the earth.
Matthew 5:6	Blessed [are] those hungering and thirsting for righteousness, because they will be filled.
Matthew 5:7	Blessed [are] the merciful, because they will receive mercy.
Matthew 5:8	Blessed [are] the pure in heart, because they will see God.
Matthew 5:9	Blessed [are] the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.
Matthew 5:10	Blessed [are] those having been persecuted on account of righteousness, because theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:11	Blessed are you⁺ when they may reproach you⁺ and may persecute [you] and may say all evil against you⁺, lying, on account of Me.
Matthew 5:12	Rejoice and exult, because your⁺ reward [is] great in the heavens; for thus they persecuted the prophets before you⁺.
Matthew 5:13	You⁺ are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should become tasteless, with what will it be salted? For nothing is it potent any longer except, having been cast out, to be trampled upon by men.
Matthew 5:14	You⁺ are the light of the world. A city lying on a hill is not able to be hidden.
Matthew 5:15	Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the basket, but upon the lampstand, and it shines to all those in the house.
Matthew 5:16	Thus let your⁺ light shine before men, so that they may see your⁺ good works and may glorify your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 5:17	Do not suppose that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:18	For truly I say to you⁺, until the heaven and the earth should pass away, not even one iota, or one stroke of a letter, shall pass away from the Law, until everything should come to pass.
Matthew 5:19	Whoever then may break one of the least of these commandments and may teach men thus, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whoever may do and may teach [them], this one will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:20	For I say to you⁺ that unless your⁺ righteousness should abound more than [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, you⁺ shall certainly not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 5:21	You⁺ heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘You shall not murder,’ and, ‘Whoever may murder will be liable to the judgment.’
Matthew 5:22	But I say to you⁺ that everyone being angry with his brother will be liable to the judgment, and whoever may say to his brother, ‘Raca,’ will be liable to the Sanhedrin. But whoever may say, ‘Fool!’ will be liable to the Gehenna of fire.
Matthew 5:23	Therefore, if you may offer your gift at the altar, and there may remember that your brother has something against you,
Matthew 5:24	leave your gift there before the altar and first go, be reconciled to your brother, and then, having come, offer your gift.
Matthew 5:25	Be agreeing quickly with your adversary while you are with him in the way, lest ever the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you will be cast into prison.
Matthew 5:26	Truly I say to you, you shall never come out from there until you should pay back the last kodrantes.
Matthew 5:27	You⁺ heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
Matthew 5:28	But I say to you⁺ that everyone looking at a woman in order to desire her already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 5:29	Now if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast [it] from you. For it is better for you that one of your members should perish and not [that] your whole body should be cast into Gehenna.
Matthew 5:30	And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast [it] from you. For it is better for you that one of your members should perish and not [that] your whole body should go away into Gehenna.
Matthew 5:31	And it was said, ‘Whoever may send away his wife, let him give to her a certificate of divorce.’
Matthew 5:32	But I say to you⁺ that everyone sending away his wife, except [for] the reason of sexual immorality, causes her to commit adultery. And whoever shall marry her [who] has been sent away, he commits adultery.
Matthew 5:33	Again, you⁺ heard that it was said to the ancients, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but you shall repay your oaths to the Lord.’
Matthew 5:34	But I say to you⁺ not to swear at all: neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God;
Matthew 5:35	nor by the earth, because it is the footstool for His feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
Matthew 5:36	Nor may you swear by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black.
Matthew 5:37	But let your⁺ word ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ [and] ‘No,’ ‘No.’ And that which [is] more than these comes from the evil one.
Matthew 5:38	You⁺ heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.’
Matthew 5:39	But I say to you⁺ not to resist the evil [person]. But whoever may strike you on your right cheek, turn to him also the other.
Matthew 5:40	And the one wanting to sue you and to take your tunic, yield to him also the cloak.
Matthew 5:41	And whoever will compel you [to go] one milion, go with him two.
Matthew 5:42	To the one asking you, you should give, and from the one wanting to borrow from you, you should not turn away.
Matthew 5:43	You⁺ heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and shall hate your enemy.’
Matthew 5:44	But I say to you⁺, love your⁺ enemies and pray for those persecuting you⁺,
Matthew 5:45	so that you⁺ may be sons of your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens. For He makes His sun rise on evil and good, and He sends rain on righteous and unrighteous.
Matthew 5:46	For if you⁺ love those loving you⁺, what reward do you⁺ have? Do not also the tax collectors do the same?
Matthew 5:47	And if you⁺ greet only your⁺ brothers, what extraordinary [thing] do you⁺ do? Do not also the Gentiles do the same?
Matthew 5:48	You⁺ shall be perfect, therefore, as your⁺ heavenly Father is perfect.[]
Matthew 6:1	[“] And beware not to do your⁺ righteousness before men in order to be seen by them. Otherwise, you⁺ have no reward from your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 6:2	Therefore, when you may do charity, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to you⁺, they have their reward in full.
Matthew 6:3	But [in] your doing charity, do not let your left [hand] know what your right hand is doing,
Matthew 6:4	so that your charity may be in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward to you.
Matthew 6:5	And when you⁺ may pray, you⁺ shall not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets so that they might be seen by men. Truly I say to you⁺, they have their reward in full.
Matthew 6:6	But you, when you may pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father, the One in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward to you.
Matthew 6:7	And praying, do not use vain repetitions like the Gentiles, for they think that in their many words they will be heard.
Matthew 6:8	Therefore do not be like them, for your⁺ Father knows of what things you⁺ have need before your⁺ asking Him.
Matthew 6:9	Therefore pray you⁺ this way: ‘Our Father who [is] in the heavens, hallowed be Your name.
Matthew 6:10	Your kingdom come. Your will be done, as in heaven, also upon earth.
Matthew 6:11	Give us today our necessary bread.
Matthew 6:12	And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Matthew 6:13	And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’
Matthew 6:14	For if you⁺ forgive men their trespasses, your⁺ heavenly Father will also forgive you⁺.
Matthew 6:15	But if you⁺ do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your⁺ Father forgive your⁺ trespasses.
Matthew 6:16	And when you⁺ may fast, do not be as the hypocrites, gloomy-faced; for they disfigure their faces so that they might appear to men [as] fasting. Truly I say to you⁺, they have their reward in full.
Matthew 6:17	But you, fasting, anoint your head and wash your face,
Matthew 6:18	so that you might not appear to men [as] fasting, but to your Father, the One in secret. And your Father, the One seeing in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:19	Do not treasure up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break in and steal.
Matthew 6:20	But treasure up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust disfigure, and where thieves do not break in, nor do they steal.
Matthew 6:21	For where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
Matthew 6:22	The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
Matthew 6:23	But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that [is] in you is darkness, how great [is] the darkness!
Matthew 6:24	No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and he will love the other, or he will hold to one and he will despise the other. You⁺ are not able to serve God and mammon.
Matthew 6:25	Because of this I say to you⁺, do not be anxious for your⁺ life, what you⁺ might eat or what you⁺ might drink, nor for your⁺ body, what you⁺ might put on. Is not life more than food, and the body [more] than clothing?
Matthew 6:26	Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor do they reap, nor do they gather into barns, and your⁺ heavenly Father feeds them. Are you⁺ not much more valuable than they?
Matthew 6:27	And who of you⁺, being anxious, is able to add to his lifespan one cubit?
Matthew 6:28	And why are you⁺ anxious about clothing? Consider carefully the lilies of the field, how they grow: They do not labor, nor do they spin.
Matthew 6:29	Yet I say to you⁺ that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Matthew 6:30	But if God thus clothes the grass of the field, being today and tomorrow being thrown into the furnace, [will He] not much more you⁺, O little of faith?
Matthew 6:31	Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘[With] what shall we be clothed?’
Matthew 6:32	For the nations seek after all these things. For your⁺ heavenly Father knows that you⁺ have need of all of these.
Matthew 6:33	But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you⁺.
Matthew 6:34	Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient to the day [is] its evil.[]
Matthew 7:1	[“] Do not judge, that you⁺ may not be judged.
Matthew 7:2	For in what judgment you⁺ judge, you⁺ will be judged; and in what measure you⁺ measure, it will be measured to you⁺.
Matthew 7:3	And why do you look at the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother, but not notice the beam in your [own] eye?
Matthew 7:4	Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Permit that I might cast out the splinter from your eye,’ and behold, the beam [is] in your eye?
Matthew 7:5	Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter from the eye of your brother.
Matthew 7:6	Do not give what [is] holy to the dogs, nor cast your⁺ pearls before the pigs, lest they will trample them among their feet and, having turned, tear you⁺ to pieces.
Matthew 7:7	Ask, and it will be given to you⁺; seek, and you⁺ will find; knock, and it will be opened to you⁺.
Matthew 7:8	For everyone asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking, it will be opened.
Matthew 7:9	Or which man is of you⁺ who, [if] his son will ask for bread, will give to him a stone,
Matthew 7:10	or also, [if] he will ask for a fish, will give to him a serpent?
Matthew 7:11	Therefore if you⁺, being evil, know to give good gifts to your⁺ children, how much more will your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens give good things to those asking Him!
Matthew 7:12	All things, therefore, as many as you⁺ may want that men may do to you⁺, so also you⁺ do to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:13	Enter through the narrow gate, because wide [is] the gate and broad the way that is leading to destruction, and many are those entering through it.
Matthew 7:14	For narrow [is] the gate and compressed the way that [is] leading to life, and few are those finding it.
Matthew 7:15	Beware of the false prophets, who come to you⁺ in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
Matthew 7:16	From their fruits you⁺ will recognize them. [Do] they gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:17	Thus every good tree produces good fruits, but the rotten tree produces evil fruits.
Matthew 7:18	A good tree is not able to produce evil fruits, nor a rotten tree to produce good fruits.
Matthew 7:19	Every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.
Matthew 7:20	Therefore from their fruits you⁺ will recognize them.
Matthew 7:21	Not everyone who [is] saying to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 7:22	Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and [in] Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many miracles?’
Matthew 7:23	And then I will profess to them, ‘I never knew you⁺; depart from Me, [you] working lawlessness!’
Matthew 7:24	Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and does them will be likened to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Matthew 7:25	And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and fell upon that house; and it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Matthew 7:26	And everyone who [is] hearing these words of Mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Matthew 7:27	And the rain came down, and the rivers came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house; and it fell—and its fall was great!”
Matthew 7:28	And it came to pass when Jesus finished these words [that] the crowds were astonished at His teaching.
Matthew 7:29	For He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as their scribes.
Matthew 8:1	And [on] His having come down from the mountain, many crowds followed Him.
Matthew 8:2	And behold, a leper, having come, was kneeling down to Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me.”
Matthew 8:3	And having stretched out the hand, He touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew 8:4	And Jesus says to him, “See that you tell no one. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
Matthew 8:5	And [on] His having entered into Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him
Matthew 8:6	and saying, “Lord, my servant is laid in the house a paralytic, terribly tormented.”
Matthew 8:7	And He says to him, “I, having gone, will heal him.”
Matthew 8:8	But answering, the centurion said, “Lord, I am not fit that You should enter under my roof; but only say a word, and my servant will be healed.
Matthew 8:9	For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does.”
Matthew 8:10	And having heard, Jesus marveled and said to those following, “Truly I say to you⁺, with no one in Israel did I find such great faith.
Matthew 8:11	And I say to you⁺ that many will come from east and west and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 8:12	But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.”
Matthew 8:13	And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you believed, let it be to you.” And his servant was healed in that very hour.
Matthew 8:14	And Jesus, having come to the house of Peter, saw his mother-in-law laid and having a fever.
Matthew 8:15	And He touched her hand, and the fever left her; and she arose and was serving Him.
Matthew 8:16	And evening having come, they brought to Him many being possessed by demons, and He cast out the spirits with a word and healed all those being ill,
Matthew 8:17	so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities, and carried the diseases.”
Matthew 8:18	And Jesus, having seen a great crowd around Him, commanded to go away to the other side.
Matthew 8:19	And having come, one scribe said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You may go.”
Matthew 8:20	And Jesus says to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere He might lay the head.”
Matthew 8:21	And another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, allow me first to go away and to bury my father.”
Matthew 8:22	But Jesus says to him, “Follow Me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
Matthew 8:23	And [on] His having entered into the boat, His disciples followed Him.
Matthew 8:24	And behold, a great storm arose in the sea, so that the boat was being covered by the waves; but He Himself was sleeping.
Matthew 8:25	And having come, they awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”
Matthew 8:26	And He says to them, “Why are you⁺ cowardly, O little of faith?” Then, having arisen, He rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Matthew 8:27	And the men marveled, saying, “What kind is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”
Matthew 8:28	And [on] His having come to the other side, to the region of the Gadarenes, two [men] being possessed by demons met Him, coming out of the tombs, extremely violent, so as for no one to have strength to pass by that way.
Matthew 8:29	And behold, they cried out, saying, “What to us and to You, Son of God? Did You come here to torment us before the time?”
Matthew 8:30	Now there was far off from them a herd of many pigs feeding.
Matthew 8:31	And the demons were imploring Him, saying, “If You cast us out, send us away into the herd of pigs.”
Matthew 8:32	And He said to them, “Go!” And having gone out, they went away into the pigs, and behold, all the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.
Matthew 8:33	And those feeding [them] fled, and having gone away into the city, they related everything, and the [matter] of those being possessed by demons.
Matthew 8:34	And behold, all the city went out to meet Jesus. And having seen Him, they implored [Him] that He might depart from their borders.
Matthew 9:1	And having entered into a boat, He crossed over, and He came into [His] own city.
Matthew 9:2	And behold, they were bringing to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. And Jesus, having seen their faith, said to the paralytic, “Take courage, child; your sins are forgiven.”
Matthew 9:3	And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This One blasphemes!”
Matthew 9:4	And Jesus, having known their thoughts, said, “Why do you⁺ think evil in your⁺ hearts?
Matthew 9:5	For which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
Matthew 9:6	But so that you⁺ may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” Then He says to the paralytic, “Having arisen, take up your mat and go to your house.”
Matthew 9:7	And having arisen, he went away to his house.
Matthew 9:8	And the crowds, having seen, feared and glorified God, the One having given such authority to men.
Matthew 9:9	And Jesus, passing on from there, saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and He says to him, “Follow Me.” And having risen up, he followed Him.
Matthew 9:10	And it came to pass [in] His reclining in the house, that behold, many tax collectors and sinners, having come, were reclining with Jesus and His disciples.
Matthew 9:11	And having seen, the Pharisees were saying to His disciples, “Why does your⁺ Teacher eat with the tax collectors and sinners?”
Matthew 9:12	But having heard, He said, “Those being strong have no need of a physician, but those being ill.
Matthew 9:13	But having gone, learn what is ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Matthew 9:14	Then the disciples of John come to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but Your disciples do not fast?”
Matthew 9:15	And Jesus said to them, “Are the sons of the bridechamber able to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Matthew 9:16	But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the filling up of it pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear happens.
Matthew 9:17	Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins; and if otherwise, the wineskins are burst, and the wine is poured out, and the wineskins are destroyed. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Matthew 9:18	[In] His speaking these things to them, behold, one ruler, having come, was kneeling down to Him, saying, “My daughter just now died, but having come, lay Your hand upon her, and she will live.”
Matthew 9:19	And having arisen, Jesus was following him, as well as His disciples.
Matthew 9:20	And behold, a woman having a flow of blood twelve years, having come behind [Him], touched the fringe of His garment.
Matthew 9:21	For she was saying within herself, “If only I shall touch His garment, I will be saved.”
Matthew 9:22	And Jesus, having turned and having seen her, said, “Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you.” And the woman was saved from that hour.
Matthew 9:23	And Jesus, having come into the house of the ruler and having seen the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,
Matthew 9:24	was saying, “Withdraw, for the girl did not die, but sleeps.” And they were laughing at Him.
Matthew 9:25	And when the crowd was put outside, having entered, He took hold of her hand, and the girl arose.
Matthew 9:26	And this report went out into all that land.
Matthew 9:27	And Jesus passing on from there, two blind [men] followed Him, crying out and saying, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Matthew 9:28	And having come into the house, the blind [men] came to Him, and Jesus says to them, “Do you⁺ believe that I am able to do this?” They say to Him, “Yes, Lord.”
Matthew 9:29	Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your⁺ faith let it be to you⁺.”
Matthew 9:30	And their eyes were opened. And Jesus strictly instructed them, saying, “See, let no one know!”
Matthew 9:31	But having gone out, they reported [about] Him in all that land.
Matthew 9:32	And [in] their going out, behold, they brought to Him a mute man possessed by a demon.
Matthew 9:33	And the demon having been cast out, the mute [man] spoke. And the crowds marveled, saying, “Never thus was it seen in Israel!”
Matthew 9:34	But the Pharisees were saying, “By the prince of the demons He casts out the demons.”
Matthew 9:35	And Jesus was going throughout all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness.
Matthew 9:36	And having seen the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were wearied and cast away, as sheep not having a shepherd.
Matthew 9:37	Then He says to His disciples, “The harvest indeed [is] much, but the workers [are] few.
Matthew 9:38	Therefore implore the Lord of the harvest, that He might put forth workers into His harvest.”
Matthew 10:1	And having summoned His twelve disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Matthew 10:2	And these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who [is] called Peter, and his brother Andrew; and James the [son] of Zebedee, and his brother John;
Matthew 10:3	Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Matthew 10:4	Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, the one also having betrayed Him.
Matthew 10:5	These twelve Jesus sent forth, having instructed them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and into a city of the Samaritans do not enter.
Matthew 10:6	But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew 10:7	And going, proclaim, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’
Matthew 10:8	Heal the ailing, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you⁺ received; freely give.
Matthew 10:9	Acquire neither gold nor silver nor copper in your⁺ belts,
Matthew 10:10	nor a bag for the way, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker [is] worthy of his food.
Matthew 10:11	And into whatever city or village you⁺ may enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and remain there until you⁺ may go out.
Matthew 10:12	And entering into the house, greet it.
Matthew 10:13	And if indeed the house is worthy, let your⁺ peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your⁺ peace return to you⁺.
Matthew 10:14	And whoever may not receive you⁺ nor hear your⁺ words, going forth out of the house or that city, shake off the dust of your⁺ feet.
Matthew 10:15	Truly I say to you⁺, it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and of Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Matthew 10:16	Behold, I send you⁺ forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd as the serpents and innocent as the doves.
Matthew 10:17	But beware of men; for they will deliver you⁺ up into the councils, and in their synagogues they will flog you⁺.
Matthew 10:18	And you⁺ will be led before governors and also kings on account of Me, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Matthew 10:19	And when they may deliver you⁺ up, do not be anxious how or what you⁺ shall speak; for it will be given to you⁺ in that hour what you⁺ shall speak.
Matthew 10:20	For you⁺ are not the ones speaking, but the Spirit of your⁺ Father speaking in you⁺.
Matthew 10:21	And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.
Matthew 10:22	And you⁺ will be hated by all because of My name; but the one having endured to the end, this one will be saved.
Matthew 10:23	And when they may persecute you⁺ in one city, flee to the other. For truly I say to you⁺, you⁺ shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of Man shall come.
Matthew 10:24	A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
Matthew 10:25	Aufficient to the disciple [is] that he may become like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the master of the house they have called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
Matthew 10:26	Therefore do not fear them. For nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Matthew 10:27	What I say to you⁺ in the darkness, say in the light; and what you⁺ hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
Matthew 10:28	And do not be afraid of those killing the body but not being able to kill the soul. But fear, rather, the One being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
Matthew 10:29	Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your⁺ Father.
Matthew 10:30	And even the hairs of your⁺ head are all numbered.
Matthew 10:31	Therefore do not be afraid; you⁺ are more valuable than many sparrows.
Matthew 10:32	Therefore everyone who will confess in Me before men, I will also confess in him before My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 10:33	But whoever shall deny Me before men, I also will deny him before My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 10:34	Do not think that I came to cast peace upon the earth; I did not come to cast peace, but a sword.
Matthew 10:35	For I came to set at variance: ‘A man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Matthew 10:36	And the enemies of the man [are] the members of his household.’
Matthew 10:37	The one loving father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me, and the one loving son or daughter above Me is not worthy of Me.
Matthew 10:38	And whoever does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
Matthew 10:39	The one having found his life will lose it, and the one having lost his life on account of Me will find it.
Matthew 10:40	The one receiving you⁺ receives Me, and the one receiving Me receives the One having sent Me.
Matthew 10:41	The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive the reward of a prophet, and the one receiving a righteous [man] in the name of a righteous [man] will receive the reward of a righteous [man].
Matthew 10:42	And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones merely a cup of cold [water] in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you⁺, he shall certainly not lose his reward.”
Matthew 11:1	And it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, [that] He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
Matthew 11:2	And John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent through his disciples,
Matthew 11:3	said to Him, “Are You the coming One, or do we look for another?”
Matthew 11:4	And answering, Jesus said to them, “Having gone, report to John what you⁺ hear and see:
Matthew 11:5	The blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear and the dead are raised and the poor have good news proclaimed.
Matthew 11:6	And blessed is [the one] who shall not be caused to stumble in Me.”
Matthew 11:7	And [as] these are going, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you⁺ go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Matthew 11:8	But what did you⁺ go out to see? A man having been dressed in soft [garments]? Behold, those wearing soft [garments] are in the houses of kings.
Matthew 11:9	But what did you⁺ go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you⁺, and one more than a prophet.
Matthew 11:10	This is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’
Matthew 11:11	Truly I say to you⁺, among [those] born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Matthew 11:12	And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is subject to violence, and the violent seize it.
Matthew 11:13	For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
Matthew 11:14	And if you⁺ are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah, the one being about to come.
Matthew 11:15	The one having ears, let him hear!
Matthew 11:16	But to what will I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others,
Matthew 11:17	saying: ‘We played the flute for you⁺, and you⁺ did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you⁺ did not mourn.’
Matthew 11:18	For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’
Matthew 11:19	The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!’ But wisdom was justified from her works.”
Matthew 11:20	Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of His miracles happened, because they did not repent.
Matthew 11:21	“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles having happened in you⁺ had happened in Tyre and Sidon, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they would have repented.
Matthew 11:22	But I say to you⁺, for Tyre and Sidon it will be more bearable in the day of judgment than for you⁺.
Matthew 11:23	And you, Capernaum, to heaven will you be lifted up? To Hades you will be brought down! For if the miracles having happened in you had happened in Sodom, it would have remained until [this] day.
Matthew 11:24	But I say to you⁺ that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you.”
Matthew 11:25	In that time, answering, Jesus said, “I acknowledge You, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, because You hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and You revealed them to little children.
Matthew 11:26	Yes, Father, because of this it was good pleasure before You.
Matthew 11:27	All things were delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son and [the one] to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].
Matthew 11:28	Come to Me, all those toiling and burdened, and I will give you⁺ rest.
Matthew 11:29	Take up My yoke upon you⁺ and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble [in] heart, and you⁺ will find rest [for] your⁺ souls.
Matthew 11:30	For My yoke [is] easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 12:1	At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbaths, and His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck the heads of grain and to eat.
Matthew 12:2	And the Pharisees, having seen, said to Him, “Behold, Your disciples do what it is not lawful to do on a Sabbath.”
Matthew 12:3	And He said to them, “Did you⁺ not read what David did when he was hungry, and those with him—
Matthew 12:4	how he entered into the house of God, and they ate the loaves of the presentation, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for those with him, except for the priests only?
Matthew 12:5	Or did you⁺ not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless?
Matthew 12:6	But I say to you⁺ that a greater One than the temple is here.
Matthew 12:7	But if you⁺ had known what is ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ then you⁺ would not have condemned the guiltless.
Matthew 12:8	For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Matthew 12:9	And having departed from there, He went into their synagogue.
Matthew 12:10	And behold, a man having a withered hand, and they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbaths?” so that they might accuse Him.
Matthew 12:11	And He said to them, “What man will there be of you⁺ who will have one sheep, and if this one should fall into a pit on the Sabbaths, will not take hold of it and will raise [it] up?
Matthew 12:12	How much more valuable, therefore, [is] a man than a sheep! Therefore it is lawful on the Sabbaths to do good.”
Matthew 12:13	Then He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched [it] out, and it was restored, sound as the other.
Matthew 12:14	And the Pharisees, having gone out, took counsel against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Matthew 12:15	And Jesus, having known, withdrew from there. And many crowds followed Him, and He healed them all,
Matthew 12:16	and He warned them that they should not make Him known,
Matthew 12:17	so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
Matthew 12:18	“Behold My servant, whom I chose, My Beloved, in whom My soul was well pleased. I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will proclaim judgment to the nations.
Matthew 12:19	He will not quarrel, nor will He cry out; nor will anyone hear His voice in the streets.
Matthew 12:20	A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not quench, until He should put forth judgment to victory.
Matthew 12:21	And in His name the nations will hope.”
Matthew 12:22	Then was brought to Him one possessed by a demon, blind and mute, and He healed him, in order for the mute [man] to speak and to see.
Matthew 12:23	And all the crowds were amazed and were saying, “Is this the Son of David?”
Matthew 12:24	And the Pharisees, having heard, said, “This [man] does not cast out the demons except by Beelzebul, ruler of the demons.”
Matthew 12:25	And knowing their thoughts, He said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house having been divided against itself will not stand.
Matthew 12:26	And if Satan casts out Satan, he was divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?
Matthew 12:27	And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your⁺ sons cast [them] out? Because of this, they will be your⁺ judges.
Matthew 12:28	But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you⁺.
Matthew 12:29	Or how is anyone able to enter into the house of the strong [man] and to plunder his goods, unless first he should bind the strong [man]? And then he will plunder his house.
Matthew 12:30	The one not being with Me is against Me, and the one not gathering with Me scatters.
Matthew 12:31	Because of this I say to you⁺, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men; but the blasphemy of the Spirit will not be forgiven.
Matthew 12:32	And whoever may speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever may speak against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him—neither in this age nor in the coming one.
Matthew 12:33	Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten. For by the fruit, the tree is known.
Matthew 12:34	Offspring of vipers, how are you⁺ able to speak good things, being evil? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Matthew 12:35	The good man out of his good treasure puts forth good things, and the evil man out of his evil treasure puts forth evil things.
Matthew 12:36	And I say to you⁺ that every careless word that men will speak, they will give an account concerning it in the day of judgment.
Matthew 12:37	For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:38	Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.”
Matthew 12:39	And answering, He said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
Matthew 12:40	For just as Jonah was in the belly of the great fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Matthew 12:41	The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, One greater than Jonah [is] here.
Matthew 12:42	The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, One greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:43	Now when the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest and does not find [it].
Matthew 12:44	Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’ And having come, it finds [it] being unoccupied, and swept, and put in order.
Matthew 12:45	Then it goes and takes along with itself seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there; and the last of that man becomes worse than the first. So also will it be to this evil generation.”
Matthew 12:46	Now [in] His still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers had stood outside, seeking to speak to Him.
Matthew 12:47	And someone said to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak to You.”
Matthew 12:48	And answering, He said to the one speaking to Him, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”
Matthew 12:49	And having stretched out His hand to His disciples, He said, “Behold, My mother and My brothers.
Matthew 12:50	For whoever shall do the will of My Father who [is] in the heavens, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
Matthew 13:1	In that day, Jesus, having gone out of the house, was sitting by the sea.
Matthew 13:2	And many crowds were gathered together to Him so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down, and all the crowd stood on the shore.
Matthew 13:3	And He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, the one sowing went out to sow.
Matthew 13:4	And in his sowing, some indeed fell along the path, and the birds, having come, devoured them.
Matthew 13:5	And others fell upon the rocky [places], where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up because of it not having depth of soil.
Matthew 13:6	And the sun having risen, they were scorched, and because of not having root, they withered.
Matthew 13:7	And others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them.
Matthew 13:8	And others fell upon the good soil and were giving fruit—some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.
Matthew 13:9	The one having ears, let him hear.”
Matthew 13:10	And having come, the disciples said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”
Matthew 13:11	And answering, He said to them, “Because to you⁺ it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of the heavens, but to these it has not been given.
Matthew 13:12	For whoever has, [it] will be given to him, and he will be in abundance. And whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
Matthew 13:13	Because of this I speak to them in parables: ‘Because seeing, they do not see, and hearing, they do not hear, nor do they understand.’
Matthew 13:14	And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, saying: ‘In hearing you⁺ will hear and never understand; and seeing, you⁺ will see and never perceive.
Matthew 13:15	For the heart of this people grew dull, and they barely hear with the ears, and they closed their eyes, lest ever they might see with the eyes, and might hear with the ears, and might understand with the heart, and might return, and I will heal them.’
Matthew 13:16	But blessed [are] your⁺ eyes because they see, and your⁺ ears because they hear.
Matthew 13:17	For truly I say to you⁺ that many prophets and righteous [men] desired to see what you⁺ see and did not see, and to hear what you⁺ hear and did not hear.
Matthew 13:18	You⁺, therefore, hear the parable of the one having sown:
Matthew 13:19	Everyone hearing the word of the kingdom and not understanding, the evil one comes and snatches away that having been sown in his heart. This is the one having been sown along the path.
Matthew 13:20	And that having been sown upon the rocky [places], this is the one hearing the word and immediately receiving it with joy.
Matthew 13:21	And he has no root in himself, but is temporary. But [on] tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately he is caused to stumble.
Matthew 13:22	And that having been sown among the thorns, this is the one hearing the word, and the anxiety of this age and the deceit of riches choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Matthew 13:23	But that having been sown on the good soil, this is the one hearing the word and understanding, who indeed bears fruit and produces—some indeed a hundredfold, and some sixty, and some thirty.”
Matthew 13:24	He put before them another parable, saying, “The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man having sown good seed in his field.
Matthew 13:25	And while the men are sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds in the midst of the wheat, and went away.
Matthew 13:26	And when the plants sprouted and produced fruit, then the weeds also appeared.
Matthew 13:27	And having come, the servants of the master of the house said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? From where, then, does it have weeds?’
Matthew 13:28	And he said to them, ‘An enemy did this.’ And the servants said to him, ‘Then do you desire [that], having gone away, we should collect them?’
Matthew 13:29	And he said, ‘No, lest collecting the weeds, you⁺ might uproot the wheat with them.
Matthew 13:30	Allow both to grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the harvesters: First collect the weeds and bind them into bundles in order to burn them up; but gather together the wheat into my barn.’”
Matthew 13:31	He put before them another parable, saying: “The kingdom of the heavens is like a grain of mustard, which a man, having taken, sowed in his field,
Matthew 13:32	which indeed is smallest of all the seeds, but when it may be grown, it is greater than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so as for the birds of the sky to come and to lodge in its branches.”
Matthew 13:33	He spoke to them another parable: “The kingdom of the heavens is like leaven that a woman, having taken, hid in three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened.”
Matthew 13:34	All these things Jesus spoke in parables to the crowds, and without a parable He was not speaking to them,
Matthew 13:35	so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through the prophet, saying: “I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation [of] the world.”
Matthew 13:36	Then, having dismissed the crowds, He went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
Matthew 13:37	And answering, He said, “The One sowing the good seed is the Son of Man;
Matthew 13:38	and the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one;
Matthew 13:39	and the enemy having sown them is the devil; and the harvest is the consummation of the age; and the harvesters are angels.
Matthew 13:40	Therefore, as the weeds are gathered together and are burned up in fire, so will it be in the consummation of the age.
Matthew 13:41	The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all the stumbling blocks and those doing lawlessness,
Matthew 13:42	and they will cast them into the furnace of the fire—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Matthew 13:43	Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. The one having ears, let him hear.
Matthew 13:44	The kingdom of the heavens is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man, having found, hid. And from his joy, he goes and he sells all that he has, and he buys that field.
Matthew 13:45	Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a merchant, seeking fine pearls.
Matthew 13:46	And having found one very precious pearl, having gone away, he has sold all things, as many as he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13:47	Again, the kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet having been cast into the sea and having gathered together of every kind,
Matthew 13:48	which, when it was filled, having drawn [it] up on the shore and having sat down, they collected the good into vessels, and they cast out the bad.
Matthew 13:49	So will it be in the consummation of the age: The angels will go out and will separate the evil from the midst of the righteous
Matthew 13:50	and will cast them into the furnace of the fire—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.
Matthew 13:51	Did you⁺ understand all these things?” They say to Him, “Yes.”
Matthew 13:52	And He said to them, “Because of this, every scribe having been discipled in the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a master of a house, who puts forth out of his treasure new and old.”
Matthew 13:53	And it came to pass, when Jesus finished these parables, [that] He withdrew from there.
Matthew 13:54	And having come into His hometown, He was teaching them in their synagogue, so that they are astonished and are saying, “From where unto this One [is] this wisdom and the miracles?”
Matthew 13:55	Is this not the son of the carpenter? [Is] not His mother called Mary, and His brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
Matthew 13:56	And are not all His sisters with us? Then from where [are] unto this One all these things?”
Matthew 13:57	And they were taking offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in [his] hometown and in his house.”
Matthew 13:58	And He did not do many miracles there, because of their unbelief.
Matthew 14:1	At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the news of Jesus,
Matthew 14:2	and he said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he was raised from the dead! And because of this, the miraculous powers are working in him.”
Matthew 14:3	For Herod, having seized John, bound him and put [him] in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother.
Matthew 14:4	For John was saying to him, “It is not lawful for you to have her.”
Matthew 14:5	And wanting to kill him, he feared the crowd, because they were holding him as a prophet.
Matthew 14:6	But the birthday of Herod having come, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst and pleased Herod,
Matthew 14:7	whereupon he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she might ask.
Matthew 14:8	And having been urged on by her mother, she says, “Give to me here upon a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Matthew 14:9	And the king, having been made sorrowful because of the oaths and those reclining with [him], commanded [it] to be given.
Matthew 14:10	And having sent, he beheaded John in the prison.
Matthew 14:11	And his head was brought on a platter and was given to the girl, and she brought [it] to her mother.
Matthew 14:12	And having come, his disciples took up the body and buried it. And having come, they reported [it] to Jesus.
Matthew 14:13	And having heard, Jesus withdrew from there in a boat to a wilderness place by Himself. And having heard, the crowds followed Him on foot from the cities.
Matthew 14:14	And having gone out, He saw a great crowd and was moved with compassion toward them, and He healed their sick.
Matthew 14:15	And evening having come, the disciples came to Him, saying, “This place is desolate, and the time already is gone by. Therefore dismiss the crowds so that, having gone to the villages, they might buy food for themselves.”
Matthew 14:16	But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away. You⁺ give them [something] to eat.”
Matthew 14:17	And they say to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.”
Matthew 14:18	And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
Matthew 14:19	And having commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed. And having broken, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.
Matthew 14:20	And all ate and were satisfied, and they took up the superabounding of the fragments, twelve hand-baskets full.
Matthew 14:21	And those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
Matthew 14:22	And immediately He compelled the disciples to enter into the boat and to go before Him to the other side, until He might dismiss the crowds.
Matthew 14:23	And having dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. And evening having come, He was there alone,
Matthew 14:24	and the boat, being now many stadia from the land, is distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Matthew 14:25	And in the fourth watch of the night He went to them, walking on the sea.
Matthew 14:26	And the disciples, having seen Him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.
Matthew 14:27	But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage! I am [He]! Do not” be afraid.
Matthew 14:28	And answering Him, Peter said, “Lord, if You are [He], command me to come to You on the waters.”
Matthew 14:29	And He said, “Come.” And having gone down from the boat, Peter walked on the waters and came to Jesus.
Matthew 14:30	And seeing the strong wind, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
Matthew 14:31	And immediately Jesus, having stretched out the hand, took hold of him and says to him, “O little of faith, why did you waver?”
Matthew 14:32	And they having gone up into the boat, the wind abated.
Matthew 14:33	And those in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are God's Son!”
Matthew 14:34	And having crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
Matthew 14:35	And having recognized Him, the men of that place sent to all that surrounding region, and they brought to Him all those being ill,
Matthew 14:36	and they were imploring Him that they might only touch the fringe of His garment. And as many as touched were saved.
Matthew 15:1	Then Pharisees and scribes come to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew 15:2	“Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they shall eat bread.”
Matthew 15:3	And answering, He said to them, “Why also do you⁺ transgress the commandment of God because of your⁺ tradition?
Matthew 15:4	For God said, ‘Honor [your] father and mother’ and ‘The one speaking evil of father or mother, in death let him end.’
Matthew 15:5	But you⁺ say, ‘Whoever might say to father or mother: Whatever you might be profited by me [is] a gift,’
Matthew 15:6	he shall not honor his father or his mother. And you⁺ made void the word of God because of your⁺ tradition.
Matthew 15:7	Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you⁺, saying:
Matthew 15:8	‘This people honors Me with the lips, but their heart is kept far away from Me;
Matthew 15:9	and in vain they worship Me, teaching [as] teachings the precepts of men.’”
Matthew 15:10	And having summoned the crowd, He said to them, “Hear and understand.
Matthew 15:11	Not what is entering into the mouth defiles the man; but what is proceeding out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”
Matthew 15:12	Then the disciples, having come, said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees, having heard the saying, were offended?”
Matthew 15:13	And answering, He said, “Every plant that My heavenly Father did not plant will be uprooted.
Matthew 15:14	Leave them! They are blind guides of the blind. And if the blind may guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Matthew 15:15	And answering, Peter said to Him, “Explain to us this parable.”
Matthew 15:16	And He said, “Are you⁺ also still without understanding?
Matthew 15:17	Do you⁺ not perceive that everything entering into the mouth goes into the belly and is cast out into the sewer?
Matthew 15:18	But the things proceeding out of the mouth come forth out of the heart, and these defile the man.
Matthew 15:19	For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual immorality, thefts, false testimonies, slanders.
Matthew 15:20	These are the things defiling the man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.”
Matthew 15:21	And having gone out from there, Jesus withdrew to the parts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew 15:22	And behold, a Canaanite woman from those borders, having come out, was crying out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is miserably possessed by a demon.”
Matthew 15:23	But He did not answer her a word. And having come, His disciples were imploring Him, saying, “Dismiss her, because she cries out after us.”
Matthew 15:24	And answering, He said, “I was not sent, except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Matthew 15:25	And having come, she was worshiping Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
Matthew 15:26	And answering, He said, “It is not good to take the bread of the children and to cast [it] to the dogs.”
Matthew 15:27	And she said, “Yes, Lord, for even the dogs eat from the crumbs falling from the table of their masters.”
Matthew 15:28	“Then answering, Jesus said to her, “O woman, great [is] your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that hour.
Matthew 15:29	And having departed from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. And having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.
Matthew 15:30	And many crowds came to Him, having with them the lame, the crippled, the blind, the mute, and many others. And they cast them at His feet, and He healed them,
Matthew 15:31	so that the crowd marveled, seeing the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew 15:32	And Jesus, having summoned His disciples, said, “I have compassion toward the crowd, because already three days they continue with Me, and they have nothing that they might eat. And I do not want to dismiss them hungry, lest they faint on the way.”
Matthew 15:33	And the disciples say to Him, “From where unto us in a secluded place [are] so many loaves so as to satisfy so great a crowd?”
Matthew 15:34	And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you⁺ have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
Matthew 15:35	And having commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground,
Matthew 15:36	He took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks, He broke [them] and was giving [them] to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.
Matthew 15:37	And they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up the superabounding of the fragments, seven baskets full.
Matthew 15:38	And those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
Matthew 15:39	And having dismissed the crowds, He entered into the boat and went to the borders of Magadan.
Matthew 16:1	And having come, the Pharisees and Sadducees, testing [Him], asked Him to show them a sign out of heaven.
Matthew 16:2	And answering, He said to them, “Evening having come, you⁺ say, ‘Fair weather, for the sky is red,’
Matthew 16:3	and in the morning, ‘Today a storm, for the sky is red, being overcast.’ Indeed, you⁺ know to discern the face of the sky, but the signs of the times you⁺ are not able.
Matthew 16:4	[An] evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” And having left them, He went away.
Matthew 16:5	And the disciples, having come to the other side, forgot to take loaves.
Matthew 16:6	And Jesus said to them, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Matthew 16:7	And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “Because we took no loaves.”
Matthew 16:8	But having known [this], Jesus said, “Why do you⁺ reason among yourselves, O little of faith, that you⁺ have no loaves?
Matthew 16:9	Do you⁺ not yet perceive? Nor do you⁺ remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many hand-baskets you⁺ took up,
Matthew 16:10	nor the seven loaves for the four thousand and how many baskets you⁺ took up?
Matthew 16:11	How do you⁺ not perceive that I did not speak to you⁺ about loaves? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Matthew 16:12	Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of the loaves, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:13	And Jesus, having come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, was questioning His disciples, saying, “Who do men say the Son of Man is?”
Matthew 16:14	And they said, “Some indeed, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
Matthew 16:15	He says to them, “But you⁺, who do you⁺ say I am?”
Matthew 16:16	And answering, Simon Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:17	And answering, Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood did not reveal [it] to you, but My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 16:18	And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19	I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens. And whatever you might bind on the earth will be bound in the heavens, and whatever you might loose on the earth will be loosed in the heavens.”
Matthew 16:20	Then He instructed the disciples that they should tell no one that He is the Christ.
Matthew 16:21	From that time Jesus began to show 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 killed, and on the third day to be raised.
Matthew 16:22	And having taken Him aside, Peter began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord! This never will be unto You!”
Matthew 16:23	But having turned, He said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me. For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
Matthew 16:24	Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:25	For whoever may want to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life on account of Me will find it.
Matthew 16:26	For what will it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, but lose his soul? Or what will a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:27	For the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will repay each one according to his deeds.
Matthew 16:28	Truly I say to you⁺ that there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they shall see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Matthew 17:1	And after six days, Jesus takes along Peter and James and John his brother, and He brings them up onto a high mountain by themselves.
Matthew 17:2	And He was transfigured before them, and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became white as the light.
Matthew 17:3	And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with Him.
Matthew 17:4	And answering, Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If You wish, I will make here three tabernacles—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Matthew 17:5	[In] his still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”
Matthew 17:6	And having heard [it], the disciples fell upon their face, and they were exceedingly terrified.
Matthew 17:7	And Jesus, having come near and having touched them, said, “Rise up, and do not be afraid.”
Matthew 17:8	And having lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.
Matthew 17:9	And [in] their coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man should be raised out from the dead.”
Matthew 17:10	And the disciples questioned Him, saying, “Why then do the scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first?”
Matthew 17:11	And answering, He said, “Elijah indeed comes and will restore all things.
Matthew 17:12	But I say to you⁺ that Elijah did already come, and they did not know him, but they did to him whatever they wanted. Thus also the Son of Man is about to suffer under them.”
Matthew 17:13	Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.
Matthew 17:14	And [on] their having come to the crowd, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him
Matthew 17:15	and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers miserably; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.
Matthew 17:16	And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
Matthew 17:17	And answering, Jesus said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation, until when will I be with you⁺? Until when will I bear with you⁺? Bring him here to Me.”
Matthew 17:18	And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out from him, and the boy was healed from that hour.
Matthew 17:19	Then the disciples, having come to Jesus in private, said, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
Matthew 17:20	And He said to them, “Because of your⁺ little faith. For truly I say to you⁺, if you⁺ have faith as a grain of mustard, you⁺ will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you⁺.”
Matthew 17:21	
Matthew 17:22	And [in] their gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,
Matthew 17:23	and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.” And they were deeply grieved.
Matthew 17:24	And [on] their having come to Capernaum, those receiving the didrachmas came to Peter and said, “Does your⁺ Teacher pay the didrachmas?”
Matthew 17:25	He says, “Yes.” And [on] his having come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive custom or tribute: From their sons, or from the strangers?”
Matthew 17:26	And [on] his having said, “From the strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.
Matthew 17:27	But so that we might not offend them, having gone to the sea, cast a hook, and take the first fish having come up. And having opened its mouth, you will find a stater. Having taken that, give [it] to them for Me and you.”
Matthew 18:1	In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who then is greater in the kingdom of the heavens?”
Matthew 18:2	And having summoned a little child, He set him in their midst
Matthew 18:3	and said, “Truly I say to you⁺, if you⁺ shall not be turned and become as the little children, you⁺ shall never enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 18:4	Therefore whoever will humble himself like this little child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 18:5	And whoever shall receive one such little child in My name, he receives Me.
Matthew 18:6	And whoever might cause to stumble one of these little ones believing in Me, it is better for him that a heavy millstone should be hung around his neck and he should be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:7	Woe to the world because of the stumbling blocks. For [it is] a necessity that the stumbling blocks come, but woe to the man through whom the stumbling block comes!
Matthew 18:8	Now if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and cast [it] from you; it is better for you to enter into life crippled or lame than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire.
Matthew 18:9	And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and cast [it] from you. It is better for you to enter into life one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.
Matthew 18:10	See that you⁺ do not despise one of these little ones. For I say to you⁺ that their angels in the heavens always see the face of My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 18:11	
Matthew 18:12	What do you⁺ think? If unto any man there should be a hundred sheep, and one of them should go astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and, having gone, seek the one going astray?
Matthew 18:13	And if it should come to pass [that] he finds it, truly I say to you⁺ that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine not having gone astray.
Matthew 18:14	Thus it is not the will of your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens that one of these little ones should be lost.
Matthew 18:15	And if your brother may sin against you, go reprove him between you and him alone. If he may hear you, you have gained your brother.
Matthew 18:16	But if he may not hear, take with you one or two more, so that ‘every word may be stood upon the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
Matthew 18:17	And if he may fail to hear them, say [it] to the church. And if he may fail to hear even the church, let him be unto you as the Gentile and the tax collector.
Matthew 18:18	Truly I say to you⁺, whatever you⁺ shall bind on the earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you⁺ shall loose on the earth will be loosed in heaven.
Matthew 18:19	Again, truly I say to you⁺ that if two of you⁺ on the earth shall agree about any matter that they shall ask, it will be done for them by My Father who [is] in the heavens.
Matthew 18:20	For where two or three are gathered together unto My name, there am I in their midst.”
Matthew 18:21	Then, having come, Peter said to Him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?”
Matthew 18:22	Jesus says to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy-seven times!
Matthew 18:23	Because of this, the kingdom of the heavens was likened to to a man, a king, who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.
Matthew 18:24	And [on] his having begun to settle, one was brought to him, a debtor of ten thousand talents.
Matthew 18:25	And [on] his having nothing to repay, the master commanded him to be sold—and the wife and the children and all of whatever he had—and repayment to be made.
Matthew 18:26	Therefore the servant, having fallen down, was bowing on his knees to him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay all to you.’
Matthew 18:27	And having been moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him and forgave him the debt.
Matthew 18:28	But having gone out, that servant found one of his fellow servants who was owing him a hundred denarii. And having seized him, he was choking [him], saying, ‘Repay what you owe!’
Matthew 18:29	Therefore, having fallen down, his fellow servant was calling on him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will repay you.’
Matthew 18:30	But he was not willing. Rather, having gone, he cast him into prison until he should repay what was owed.
Matthew 18:31	Therefore his fellow servants, having seen the things having happened, were deeply grieved, and having gone, they made clear to their master all the things having happened.
Matthew 18:32	Then, having summoned him, his master says to him, ‘Evil servant! I forgave you all that debt because you called on me.
Matthew 18:33	Was it not necessary for you also to have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I also had mercy on you?’
Matthew 18:34	And having become angry, his master delivered him to the tormenters until he should repay everything being owed to him.
Matthew 18:35	Thus also My heavenly Father will do to you⁺ unless each of you⁺ should forgive his brother from your⁺ hearts.”
Matthew 19:1	And it came to pass when Jesus finished these words [that] He withdrew from Galilee and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Matthew 19:2	And many crowds followed Him, and He healed them there.
Matthew 19:3	And Pharisees came to Him, testing Him and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to send away his wife for any cause?”
Matthew 19:4	And answering, He said, “Did you⁺ not read that the One having created from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
Matthew 19:5	and He said, ‘On account of this a man will leave the father and the mother and be joined with his wife, and the two will be for one flesh’?
Matthew 19:6	So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God yoked together, let man not separate.”
Matthew 19:7	They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give [her] a roll of divorce and to send her away?”
Matthew 19:8	He says to them, “Moses, for your⁺ hardness of heart, allowed you⁺ to divorce your⁺ wives; but it has not been this way from the beginning.
Matthew 19:9	And I say to you⁺ that whoever shall send away his wife, except for sexual immorality, and shall marry another, he commits adultery.”
Matthew 19:10	His disciples say to Him, “If this is the case of the man with the wife, it is better not to marry.”
Matthew 19:11	And He said to them, “Not all receive this word, but [those] to whom it has been given.
Matthew 19:12	For there are eunuchs who were born thus from the womb of [their] mother, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. The one being able to receive [it], let him receive [it].”
Matthew 19:13	Then little children were brought to Him so that He might lay the hands on them and He might pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Matthew 19:14	But Jesus said, “Permit the little children, and do not forbid them to come to Me! For unto such is the kingdom of the heavens.”
Matthew 19:15	And having laid the hands on them, He went from there.
Matthew 19:16	And behold, one having come to Him said, “Teacher, what good shall I do so that I shall have eternal life?”
Matthew 19:17	And He said to him, “Why do you ask Me about the good? One is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Matthew 19:18	He says to Him, “Which?” And Jesus said, “‘You will not murder, you will not commit adultery, you will not steal, you will not bear false witness,
Matthew 19:19	honor the father and the mother, and you will love your neighbor as yourself.’”
Matthew 19:20	The young man says to Him, “All these I kept. What do I still lack?”
Matthew 19:21	Jesus was saying to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you are possessing and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens. And come, follow Me.”
Matthew 19:22	And having heard this word, the young man went away grieving, for he was one having many possessions.
Matthew 19:23	And Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I say to you⁺ that with difficulty a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Matthew 19:24	And again I say to you⁺, [it] is easier for a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than [for] a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 19:25	And having heard, the disciples were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then is able to be saved?”
Matthew 19:26	And having looked on [them], Jesus said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things [are] possible.”
Matthew 19:27	Then answering, Peter said to Him, “Behold, we have left all and followed You. What then will be unto us?”
Matthew 19:28	And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that you⁺, the ones having followed Me, in the regeneration, when the Son of Man shall sit down upon His throne of glory, you⁺ also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew 19:29	And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for the sake of My name will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life.
Matthew 19:30	But many [who are] first will be last, and last, first.[]
Matthew 20:1	“For the kingdom of the heavens is like a man, a master of a house, who went out in the morning to hire workmen for his vineyard.
Matthew 20:2	And having agreed with the workmen for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew 20:3	And having gone out about the third hour, he saw others standing in the marketplace idle.
Matthew 20:4	And to those ones he said, ‘You⁺ also go into the vineyard, and I will give you⁺ whatever may be right.’
Matthew 20:5	And they went away. And having gone out again about the sixth and ninth hour, he did likewise.
Matthew 20:6	And about the eleventh, having gone out, he found others standing, and he says to them, ‘Why do you⁺ stand here all the day idle?’
Matthew 20:7	They say to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He says to them, ‘You⁺ also go into the vineyard.’
Matthew 20:8	And evening having come, the master of the vineyard says to his foreman, ‘Call the workmen and pay them the wages, having begun from the last, up to the first.’
Matthew 20:9	And having come, the ones of about the eleventh hour each received a denarius.
Matthew 20:10	And having come, the first thought that they will receive more. But they themselves also received each a denarius.
Matthew 20:11	And having received [it], they were grumbling against the master of the house,
Matthew 20:12	saying, ‘These, the last, worked one hour, and you made them equal to us, the ones having borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.’
Matthew 20:13	And answering one of them, he said, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me on a denarius?
Matthew 20:14	Take what [is] yours and go. But I want to give to this last one as to you also.
Matthew 20:15	Or is it not lawful for me to do what I want with what [is] mine? Or is your eye evil because I am good?’
Matthew 20:16	Thus the last will be first, and the first, last.”
Matthew 20:17	And Jesus, going up to Jerusalem, took aside the twelve disciples by themselves, and on the way He said to them,
Matthew 20:18	“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death.
Matthew 20:19	And they will betray Him to the Gentiles to mock and to flog and to crucify, and on the third day He will be raised up.”
Matthew 20:20	Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Him with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.
Matthew 20:21	And He said to her, “What do you want?” She says to Him, “Say that these two sons of mine shall sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left hand, in Your kingdom.”
Matthew 20:22	And answering, Jesus said, “You⁺ do not know what you⁺ are asking. Are you⁺ able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They say to Him, “We are able.”
Matthew 20:23	He says to them, “Indeed you⁺ will drink My cup, but to sit at My right hand and at [My] left, this is not Mine to give, but [to] [those] for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”
Matthew 20:24	And having heard, the ten were indignant about the two brothers.
Matthew 20:25	But Jesus, having summoned them, said, “You⁺ know that the rulers of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and the great ones exercise authority over them.
Matthew 20:26	It will not be this way among you⁺. But whoever may want to become great among you⁺, he will be your⁺ servant;
Matthew 20:27	and whoever may want to be first among you⁺, he will be your⁺ slave—
Matthew 20:28	even as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”
Matthew 20:29	And [in] their going out from Jericho, a great crowd followed Him.
Matthew 20:30	And behold, two blind [men] sitting beside the road, having heard that Jesus is passing by, cried out, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Matthew 20:31	And the crowd rebuked them, that they should be silent. But they cried out all the more, saying, “Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!”
Matthew 20:32	And having stood, Jesus called them and said, “What do you⁺ want [that] I may do for you⁺?”
Matthew 20:33	They say to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.”
Matthew 20:34	And having been moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes, and immediately they received their sight, and they followed Him.
Matthew 21:1	And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
Matthew 21:2	saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you⁺, and immediately you⁺ will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Having loosed [them], bring [them] to Me.
Matthew 21:3	And if anyone should say anything to you⁺, you⁺ will say that the Lord has need of them, and immediately he will send them.”
Matthew 21:4	And this came to pass so that it might be fulfilled, that having been spoken through the prophet, saying,
Matthew 21:5	“Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King comes to you, gentle and mounted on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”
Matthew 21:6	And the disciples, having gone and having done as Jesus directed them,
Matthew 21:7	led the donkey and the colt and put their garments on them, and He sat on them.
Matthew 21:8	And the very large crowd spread their garments in the road, and others were cutting branches from the trees and were spreading [them] in the road.
Matthew 21:9	And the crowds going before Him and those following were crying out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
Matthew 21:10	And [on] His having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, “Who is this?”
Matthew 21:11	And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet, Jesus, the One from Nazareth of Galilee.”
Matthew 21:12	And Jesus entered into the temple and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple. And He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves.
Matthew 21:13	And He says to them, “It has been written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you⁺ are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Matthew 21:14	And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.
Matthew 21:15	But the chief priests and the scribes, having seen the wonders that He did and the children crying out in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were indignant.
Matthew 21:16	And they said to Him, “Do You hear what these say?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes. Did you⁺ never read: ‘Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings You prepared praise’?”
Matthew 21:17	And having left them, He went out of the city to Bethany, and He lodged there.
Matthew 21:18	And in the morning, having come back into the city, He was hungry.
Matthew 21:19	And having seen one fig tree on the way, He went to it and found nothing on it except leaves. And He says to it, “Never let there be [anymore] fruit out of you, to the age!” And the fig tree withered immediately.
Matthew 21:20	And having seen [it], the disciples marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither immediately?”
Matthew 21:21	And answering, Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you⁺, if you⁺ shall have faith and not doubt, you⁺ will do not only this of the fig tree, but even if you⁺ should say to this mountain, ‘Be taken away and be cast into the sea,’ it will come to pass.
Matthew 21:22	And all things, as many as you⁺ might ask in prayer, believing, you⁺ will receive.”
Matthew 21:23	And [on] His having come into the temple teaching, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him, saying, “By what authority do You do these things?” And who gave You this authority?
Matthew 21:24	And answering, Jesus said to them, “I will also ask you⁺ one word, which if you⁺ tell Me, I will also tell you⁺ by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:25	From where was the baptism of John? From heaven or from men?” And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Why then did you⁺ not believe him?’
Matthew 21:26	But if we should say, ‘From men,’ we fear the crowd, for all hold John as a prophet.”
Matthew 21:27	And answering Jesus, they said, “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither do I tell you⁺ by what authority I do these things.
Matthew 21:28	But what do you⁺ think? A man had two sons, and having come to the first he said, ‘Son, go today, work in the vineyard.’
Matthew 21:29	And answering, he said, ‘I will not.’ But afterward, having repented, he went.
Matthew 21:30	And having come to the second, he said likewise. And answering, he said, ‘I [will] sir,’ and he did not go.
Matthew 21:31	Which of the two did the will of the father?” They say, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you⁺ into the kingdom of God.
Matthew 21:32	For John came to you⁺ in the way of righteousness, and you⁺ did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And you⁺, having seen, did not even repent afterward to believe him.
Matthew 21:33	Hear another parable: There was a man, a master of a house, who planted a vineyard, and placed around it a fence, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. And he rented it out to farmers and traveled abroad.
Matthew 21:34	And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruits.
Matthew 21:35	And the farmers, having taken his servants, one they beat, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
Matthew 21:36	Again he sent other servants, more than the first, and they did likewise to them.
Matthew 21:37	And afterward he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Matthew 21:38	But the farmers, having seen the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and gain possession of his inheritance.’
Matthew 21:39	And having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].
Matthew 21:40	Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those farmers?”
Matthew 21:41	They say to Him, “He will destroy those evil ones grievously, and he will give out the vineyard to other farmers who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.”
Matthew 21:42	Jesus says to them, “Did you⁺ never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that those building rejected, this became the head of the corner. This was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
Matthew 21:43	Because of this I say to you⁺ that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you⁺, and it will be given to a people producing its fruits.
Matthew 21:44	And the one having fallen on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it might fall, it will grind him to powder.”
Matthew 21:45	And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard His parables, knew that He speaks about them.
Matthew 21:46	And seeking to lay hold of Him, they feared the crowds, because they were holding Him as a prophet.
Matthew 22:1	And answering, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying:
Matthew 22:2	“The kingdom of the heavens was likened to a man, a king, who made a wedding feast for his son.
Matthew 22:3	And he sent his servants to call those having been called to the wedding feast, and they were not willing to come.
Matthew 22:4	Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Say to those having been called: Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My oxen and fatlings have been killed, and all things [are] ready; come to the wedding feast.’
Matthew 22:5	And having disregarded [it], they went away, one to [his] own field, and one to his business.
Matthew 22:6	And the rest, having laid hold of his servants, mistreated and killed [them].
Matthew 22:7	And the king was enraged, and having sent his armies, he destroyed those murderers and set on fire their city.
Matthew 22:8	Then he says to his servants, ‘Indeed, the wedding feast is ready, but those having been called were not worthy.
Matthew 22:9	Therefore go on the thoroughfares of the roads and call to the wedding feast as many as you⁺ may find.’
Matthew 22:10	And those servants, having gone out into the roads, gathered together all whom they found, both evil and good, and the wedding feast was filled with those reclining.
Matthew 22:11	And the king, having entered to view those reclining, saw a man there not dressed in clothing of a wedding feast.
Matthew 22:12	And he says to him, ‘Friend, how did you enter here not having clothing of a wedding feast?’ And he was speechless.
Matthew 22:13	Then the king said to the servants, ‘Having bound his feet and hands, cast him out into the outer darkness—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.’
Matthew 22:14	For many are called, but few chosen.”
Matthew 22:15	Then having gone, the Pharisees took counsel [as to] how they might trap Him in a word.
Matthew 22:16	And they send to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and You teach the way of God in truth. And to You there is care about no one, for You do not look to the appearance of men.
Matthew 22:17	Therefore tell us, what do You think? Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?”
Matthew 22:18	But having known their malice, Jesus said, “Why do you⁺ test Me, hypocrites?
Matthew 22:19	Show Me the coin of the tribute.” And they presented to Him a denarius.
Matthew 22:20	And He says to them, “Whose [is] this image, and the inscription?”
Matthew 22:21	They say to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He says to them, “Therefore give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.”
Matthew 22:22	And having heard, they marveled. And having left Him, they went away.
Matthew 22:23	On that day Sadducees, saying there is not a resurrection, came to Him, and they questioned Him,
Matthew 22:24	saying, “Teacher, Moses said [that] if anyone should die not having children, his brother will marry his wife and will raise up seed for his brother.
Matthew 22:25	Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first, having married, died; and not having seed, he left his wife to his brother.
Matthew 22:26	Likewise also the second, and the third, to the seventh.
Matthew 22:27	And last of all, the woman died.
Matthew 22:28	In the resurrection, therefore, of which of the seven will she be wife? For all had her.”
Matthew 22:29	And answering, Jesus said to them, “You⁺ go astray, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew 22:30	For in the resurrection, they neither marry nor are they given in marriage, but they are like angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:31	But concerning the resurrection of the dead, did you⁺ not read what has been spoken to you⁺ by God, saying,
Matthew 22:32	‘I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”
Matthew 22:33	And having heard, the crowds were astonished at His teaching.
Matthew 22:34	And the Pharisees, having heard that He silenced the Sadducees, were gathered at the same [place].
Matthew 22:35	And one of them, a lawyer, questioned, testing Him,
Matthew 22:36	“Teacher, which [is] the great commandment in the Law?”
Matthew 22:37	And He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Matthew 22:38	This is the great and first commandment.
Matthew 22:39	And the second [is] like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:40	On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”
Matthew 22:41	And the Pharisees having been assembled together, Jesus questioned them,
Matthew 22:42	saying, “What do you⁺ think about the Christ? Of whom is He son?” They say to Him, “Of David.”
Matthew 22:43	He says to them, “How then does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying:
Matthew 22:44	‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet”’?
Matthew 22:45	If, therefore, David calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”
Matthew 22:46	And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him [any] longer.
Matthew 23:1	Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples,
Matthew 23:2	saying, “The scribes and the Pharisees sat down on Moses’ seat.
Matthew 23:3	Therefore do and observe all things, whatsoever they might tell you⁺. But do not do according to their works, for they speak and do not do.
Matthew 23:4	And they tie up burdens heavy and hard to bear, and they lay [them] on the shoulders of men; but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.
Matthew 23:5	And they do all their works in order to be seen by men. For they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels.
Matthew 23:6	And they love the chief place at the suppers, and the first seats in the synagogues,
Matthew 23:7	and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by men.
Matthew 23:8	But you⁺ shall not be called ‘Rabbi,’ for your⁺ Teacher is One, and you⁺ are all brothers.
Matthew 23:9	And you⁺ shall call no one your⁺ father on the earth, for One is your⁺ Father who [is] in heaven.
Matthew 23:10	Neither shall you⁺ be called instructors, because One is your⁺ Instructor, the Christ.
Matthew 23:11	But the greatest among you⁺ will be your⁺ servant.
Matthew 23:12	And whoever will exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever will humble himself will be exalted.
Matthew 23:13	But woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you⁺ shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men. For you⁺ do not enter, nor even do you⁺ allow those who are entering to enter.
Matthew 23:14	
Matthew 23:15	Woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you⁺ traverse the sea and the dry land to make one convert, and when he might become one, you⁺ make him twofold more a son of Gehenna than yourselves.
Matthew 23:16	Woe to you⁺, blind guides, those saying, ‘Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple is bound by his oath.’
Matthew 23:17	Foolish and blind ones! For which is greater: the gold, or the temple having sanctified the gold?
Matthew 23:18	And [you say], ‘Whoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever shall swear by the gift that [is] upon it is bound by his oath.’
Matthew 23:19	Blind ones! For which [is] greater: the gift, or the altar sanctifying the gift?
Matthew 23:20	Therefore the one having sworn by the altar swears by it and by all things that [are] upon it.
Matthew 23:21	And the one having sworn by the temple swears by it and by the One dwelling in it.
Matthew 23:22	And the one having sworn by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the One sitting upon it.
Matthew 23:23	Woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you⁺ pay tithes of mint and dill and cumin, and you⁺ left aside the weightier [things] of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. And it was necessary to do these, and those not to leave aside.
Matthew 23:24	Blind guides—those straining out the gnat and swallowing up the camel!
Matthew 23:25	Woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you⁺ cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of plundering and self-indulgence.
Matthew 23:26	Blind Pharisee! First cleanse the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that its outside might become clean also.
Matthew 23:27	Woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you⁺ are like whitewashed tombs, which indeed on the outside appear beautiful, but on the inside they are full of bones of the dead and of all uncleanness.
Matthew 23:28	Thus also on the outside you⁺ indeed appear righteous to men, but on the inside you⁺ are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Matthew 23:29	Woe to you⁺, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you⁺ build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous.
Matthew 23:30	And you⁺ 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.’
Matthew 23:31	Thus you⁺ bear witness to yourselves that you⁺ are sons of those having murdered the prophets.
Matthew 23:32	And you⁺, fill up the measure of your⁺ fathers.
Matthew 23:33	Serpents! Offspring of vipers! How shall you⁺ escape from the judgment of Gehenna?
Matthew 23:34	Because of this, behold, I send to you⁺ prophets and wise [men] and scribes. Some of them you⁺ will kill and crucify, and some of them you⁺ will flog in your⁺ synagogues and will persecute from city to city,
Matthew 23:35	so that upon you⁺ shall come all the righteous blood being poured out upon the earth, from the blood of the righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you⁺ murdered between the temple and the altar.
Matthew 23:36	Truly I say to you⁺, all these things will come upon this generation.
Matthew 23:37	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her! How often I willed to gather together your children, the way that a hen gathers together her chicks under the wings, and you⁺ were not willing!
Matthew 23:38	Behold, your⁺ house is left to you⁺ desolate!
Matthew 23:39	For I say to you⁺, you⁺ shall not see Me from now until you⁺ say, ‘Blessed [is] the One coming in the name of the Lord.’”
Matthew 24:1	And having gone out from the temple, Jesus was going, and His disciples came near to point out to Him the buildings of the temple.
Matthew 24:2	And answering, He said to them, “Do you⁺ not see all these things? Truly I say to you⁺, not one stone here shall be left upon a stone, which will not be thrown down.”
Matthew 24:3	And He sitting upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him by Himself, saying, “Tell us when these things will be. And what [is] the sign of Your coming and the consummation of the age?”
Matthew 24:4	And answering, Jesus said to them, “Take heed, lest anyone may lead you⁺ astray.
Matthew 24:5	For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray.
Matthew 24:6	And you⁺ will begin to hear of wars and rumors of wars. Behold, do not be alarmed; for it is necessary to happen, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:7	For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Matthew 24:8	And all these [are] the beginning of birth pains.
Matthew 24:9	Then they will deliver you⁺ up to tribulation, and they will kill you⁺, and you⁺ will be hated by all the nations because of My name.
Matthew 24:10	And then many will be caused to stumble, and they will deliver up one another and will hate one another;
Matthew 24:11	and many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray.
Matthew 24:12	And because lawlessness is to be multiplied, the love of many will grow cold.
Matthew 24:13	But the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.
Matthew 24:14	And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Matthew 24:15	Therefore, when you⁺ shall see the ‘abomination of the desolation,’ having been spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (the one reading, let him understand),
Matthew 24:16	then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;
Matthew 24:17	the one on the housetop, let him not come down to take away the [things] out of his house;
Matthew 24:18	and the one in the field, let him not return back to take away his garment.
Matthew 24:19	And woe to those having in womb and to those nursing in those days!
Matthew 24:20	But pray that your⁺ flight may not be in winter, nor on a Sabbath.
Matthew 24:21	For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, nor ever shall be.
Matthew 24:22	And if those days were not shortened, not any flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen, those days will be shortened.
Matthew 24:23	At that time if anyone should say to you⁺, ‘Behold, here [is] the Christ,’ or ‘Here,’ do not believe [it].
Matthew 24:24	For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give great signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen.
Matthew 24:25	Behold, I have told you⁺ beforehand.
Matthew 24:26	Therefore if they may say to you⁺, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; [or] ‘Behold, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe [it].
Matthew 24:27	For just as the lightning goes out from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:28	Wherever the carcass may be, there the vultures will be gathered.
Matthew 24:29	And immediately after the tribulation of those days: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light; and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.”’
Matthew 24:30	And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn. And they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
Matthew 24:31	And He will send His angels with a great trumpet call, and they will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the ends of the heavens to the ends of them.
Matthew 24:32	Now learn the parable from the fig tree: When its branch already shall have become tender and it may put forth leaves, you⁺ know that the summer [is] near.
Matthew 24:33	So also you⁺, when you⁺ see all these things, know that He is near, at the doors.
Matthew 24:34	Truly I say to you⁺ that this generation shall not have passed away until all these things shall have come to pass.
Matthew 24:35	The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words shall never pass away.
Matthew 24:36	But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son, except the Father only.
Matthew 24:37	For as [were] the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:38	For as in those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until that day Noah entered into the ark.
Matthew 24:39	And they did not know until the flood came and took away all. So also will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Matthew 24:40	Then two will be in the field: one is taken, and one is left.
Matthew 24:41	Two [women] will be grinding at the mill: one is taken, and one is left.
Matthew 24:42	Therefore watch, because you⁺ do not know on what day your⁺ Lord comes.
Matthew 24:43	But know this, that if the master of the house had known in which watch the thief comes, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
Matthew 24:44	Because of this also, you⁺ be ready, because in the hour that you⁺ do not think, the Son of Man comes.
Matthew 24:45	Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master set over his household, to give them the food in season?
Matthew 24:46	Blessed [is] that servant whom his master, having come, will find so doing.
Matthew 24:47	Truly I say to you⁺ that he will set him over all of his possessions.
Matthew 24:48	But if that evil servant should say in his heart, ‘My master delays,’
Matthew 24:49	and he should begin to beat his fellow servants, and he should eat and drink with those being drunk,
Matthew 24:50	the master of that servant will come in a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know,
Matthew 24:51	and he will cut him in two and will appoint his portion with the hypocrites—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.[]
Matthew 25:1	[“] Then the kingdom of the heavens will be likened to ten virgins, who, having taken their lamps, went out to meet the bridegroom,
Matthew 25:2	and five of them were foolish, and five wise.
Matthew 25:3	For the foolish, having taken their lamps, did not take oil with them;
Matthew 25:4	but the wise took oil in the vessels with their lamps.
Matthew 25:5	And [in] the tarrying of the bridegroom, they all became drowsy and were sleeping.
Matthew 25:6	And in the middle of the night there was a cry: ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
Matthew 25:7	Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew 25:8	And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your⁺ oil, because our lamps are going out.’
Matthew 25:9	And the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest it might not be sufficient for us and you⁺. Go rather to those selling, and buy for yourselves.’
Matthew 25:10	And [in] their going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those ready went in with him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut.
Matthew 25:11	And afterward, the other virgins come also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us!’
Matthew 25:12	And answering, he said, ‘Truly I say to you⁺, I have not known you⁺.’
Matthew 25:13	Therefore watch, for you⁺ do not know the day nor the hour.
Matthew 25:14	For [it is] like a man going on a journey [who] called his own servants and delivered his possessions to them.
Matthew 25:15	And indeed, to one he gave five talents; and to one, two; and to one, one—to each according to his own ability. And he left the region.
Matthew 25:16	Immediately the one having received the five talents, having gone, traded with them and gained five others.
Matthew 25:17	Likewise, the one with the two gained two others.
Matthew 25:18	But the one having received the one, having gone away, dug in the earth and hid his master's money.
Matthew 25:19	And after much time, the master of those servants comes and settles the account with them.
Matthew 25:20	And the one having received the five talents, having come, brought to [him] five other talents, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I gained five other talents.’
Matthew 25:21	His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
Matthew 25:22	And the one with the two talents, also having come, said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I gained two other talents.’
Matthew 25:23	His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You were faithful over a few things; I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your master!’
Matthew 25:24	And the one having received the one talent, having come, also said, ‘Lord, I knew you, that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering from where you did not scatter.
Matthew 25:25	And having been afraid, having gone away, I hid your talent in the ground. Behold, you have what [is] yours.’
Matthew 25:26	And answering, his master said to him, ‘Wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather from where I did not scatter.
Matthew 25:27	Therefore it was necessary for you to cast my money to the bankers, and having come, I would have received my own with interest.
Matthew 25:28	Therefore take away the talent from him and give [it] to the one having the ten talents.
Matthew 25:29	For everyone having will be given, and he will have in abundance. But the one not having, even that which he has will be taken away from him.
Matthew 25:30	And cast out the worthless servant into the outer darkness—there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth.’
Matthew 25:31	And when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit upon the throne of His glory.
Matthew 25:32	And all the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
Matthew 25:33	And indeed, He will set the sheep on His right hand and the goats on [His] left.
Matthew 25:34	Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, the blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you⁺ from the foundation of the world.
Matthew 25:35	For I hungered, and you⁺ gave Me [something] to eat; I thirsted, and you⁺ gave Me [something] to drink; I was a stranger, and you⁺ took Me in;
Matthew 25:36	[I was] naked, and you⁺ clothed Me; I was ailing, and you⁺ visited Me; I was in prison, and you⁺ came to Me.’
Matthew 25:37	Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, and fed [You]? Or thirsting, and gave [You] to drink?
Matthew 25:38	And when did we see You a stranger, and took [You] in? Or naked, and clothed [You]?
Matthew 25:39	And when did we see You ailing or in prison, and came to You?’
Matthew 25:40	And answering, the King will say to them, ‘Truly I say to you⁺, inasmuch as you⁺ did [it] to one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you⁺ did [it] to Me.’
Matthew 25:41	Then also He will say to those on [His] left, ‘Depart from Me, the cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
Matthew 25:42	For I hungered, and you⁺ did not give to Me to eat; and I thirsted, and you⁺ did not give Me to drink;
Matthew 25:43	I was a stranger, and you⁺ did not take Me in; naked, and you⁺ did not clothe Me; ailing and in prison, and you⁺ did not visit Me.’
Matthew 25:44	Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or ailing, or in prison, and we did not minister to You?’
Matthew 25:45	Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Truly I say to you⁺, inasmuch as you⁺ did not do [it] to one of the least of these, you⁺ did not do [it] to Me.’
Matthew 25:46	And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 26:1	And it came to pass, when Jesus finished all these words, [that] He said to His disciples,
Matthew 26:2	“You⁺ know that after two days the Passover takes place, and the Son of Man is delivered over to be crucified.”
Matthew 26:3	Then the chief priests were gathered together—and the elders of the people—in the courtyard of the high priest, who is called Caiaphas,
Matthew 26:4	and they plotted together in order that they might seize Jesus by guile and kill [Him].
Matthew 26:5	But they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest a riot might take place among the people.”
Matthew 26:6	And Jesus having been in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper,
Matthew 26:7	a woman came to Him, having an alabaster flask of very costly fragrant oil, and she poured [it] on His head [as] He is reclining.
Matthew 26:8	And the disciples, having seen, became indignant, saying, “For what [is] this waste?
Matthew 26:9	For this could have been sold for much and given to the poor.”
Matthew 26:10	And Jesus, having known, said to them, “Why do you⁺ cause trouble to the woman? For she did a beautiful work to Me.
Matthew 26:11	For the poor you⁺ always have with you, but not always do you⁺ have Me.
Matthew 26:12	For she, in pouring this fragrant oil on My body, did [it] for My burial.
Matthew 26:13	Truly I say to you⁺, wherever this gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, that which she did will also be spoken of, for a memorial of her.”
Matthew 26:14	Then one of the Twelve, the one being called Judas Iscariot, having gone to the chief priests,
Matthew 26:15	said, “What are you⁺ willing to give me, and I will betray Him to you⁺?” And they appointed to him thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew 26:16	And from that time, he was seeking an opportunity, that he might betray Him.
Matthew 26:17	And on the first of the Unleavened, the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where do You desire [that] we should prepare for You to eat the Passover?”
Matthew 26:18	And He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; at your [house] I will keep the Passover with My disciples.”’”
Matthew 26:19	And the disciples did as Jesus directed them and prepared the Passover.
Matthew 26:20	And evening having come, He was reclining with the twelve disciples.
Matthew 26:21	And [while] they are eating, He said to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that one of you⁺ will betray Me.”
Matthew 26:22	And being grieved exceedingly, they began, each one, to say to Him, “Is it I, Lord?”
Matthew 26:23	And answering, He said, “The one having dipped the hand in the bowl with Me, he will betray Me.
Matthew 26:24	Indeed the Son of Man goes as it has been written about Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed. It would be better for him if he had not been born—that man.”
Matthew 26:25	And Judas, who was betraying Him, answering, said, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He says to him, “You have said.”
Matthew 26:26	Now [while] they are eating, Jesus, having taken bread and having blessed [it], broke [it], and having given [it] to the disciples, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body.”
Matthew 26:27	And having taken a cup and having given thanks, He gave [it] to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you.
Matthew 26:28	For this is My blood of the covenant, being poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.
Matthew 26:29	And I say to you⁺ [that] I shall not drink of this fruit of the vine from now until that day when I drink it anew with you⁺ in the kingdom of My Father.”
Matthew 26:30	And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Matthew 26:31	Then Jesus says to them, “All of you⁺ will fall away because of Me during this night. For it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’
Matthew 26:32	But I, after being raised, will go before you⁺ into Galilee.”
Matthew 26:33	And answering, Peter said to Him, “Even if all will fall away because of You, I never will fall away.”
Matthew 26:34	Jesus said to him, “Truly I say to you that during this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”
Matthew 26:35	Peter says to Him, “Even if it were necessary for me to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the disciples said likewise.
Matthew 26:36	Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He says to the disciples, “Sit here until, having gone away over there, I shall pray.”
Matthew 26:37	And having taken with [Him] Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
Matthew 26:38	Then He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch with Me.”
Matthew 26:39	And having gone forward a little, He fell upon His face, praying and saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You.”
Matthew 26:40	And He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping. And He says to Peter, “So, were you⁺ not able to watch with Me one hour?
Matthew 26:41	Watch and pray so that you⁺ might not enter into temptation. the spirit indeed [is] willing, but the flesh weak.”
Matthew 26:42	Again, for a second time, having gone away, He prayed, saying, “My Father, if this is not possible to pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
Matthew 26:43	And having come again, He found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Matthew 26:44	And having left them again, having gone away, He prayed for the third time, having said the same thing again.
Matthew 26:45	Then He comes to the disciples and says to them, “Sleep and take your⁺ rest later on. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matthew 26:46	Rise up, let us go! Behold, he who is betraying Me has drawn near!”
Matthew 26:47	And [in] His still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the Twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matthew 26:48	And the one betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, it is He; seize Him.”
Matthew 26:49	And having come up to Jesus immediately, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
Matthew 26:50	And Jesus said to him, “Friend, for what are you come?” Then, having come, they laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
Matthew 26:51	And behold, one of those with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, drew his sword, and having struck the servant of the high priest, he cut off his ear.
Matthew 26:52	Then Jesus says to him, “Return your sword into its place; for all those having taken the sword will perish by the sword.
Matthew 26:53	Or do you think that I am not able to call upon My Father, and He will furnish to Me presently more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew 26:54	How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
Matthew 26:55	In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, “Did you⁺ come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to capture Me? Every day in the temple I was sitting teaching, and you⁺ did not seize Me.
Matthew 26:56	And all this has come to pass so that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then the disciples, all having forsaken Him, fled.
Matthew 26:57	And those having seized Jesus led [Him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Matthew 26:58	And Peter was following Him from afar, even to the court of the high priest. And having entered within, he was sitting with the guards to see the outcome.
Matthew 26:59	And the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking false testimony against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.
Matthew 26:60	But they did not find [any], of many false witnesses having come forward. And at last, two having come forward,
Matthew 26:61	they said, “This [man] has been saying, ‘I am able to demolish the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
Matthew 26:62	And the high priest, having risen up, said to Him, “Do You answer nothing? What do these witness against You?”
Matthew 26:63	But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God.”
Matthew 26:64	Jesus says to him, “You said [it]. But I say to you⁺, from now you⁺ will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming upon the clouds of heaven.”
Matthew 26:65	Then the high priest tears his garments, saying, “He blasphemed! Why do we have any more need of witnesses? Behold, now you⁺ heard the blasphemy.
Matthew 26:66	What do you⁺ think?” And answering, they said, “He is deserving of death.”
Matthew 26:67	Then they spat in His face and struck Him. And others slapped [Him],
Matthew 26:68	saying, “Prophesy to us, Christ. Who is the one having struck You?”
Matthew 26:69	And Peter was sitting outside in the court, and one servant girl came to him, saying, “You also were with Jesus the Galilean.”
Matthew 26:70	And he denied [it] before all, saying, “I do not know what you say.”
Matthew 26:71	And having gone out to the gateway, another saw him and says to those there, “This [man] was with Jesus of Nazareth.”
Matthew 26:72	And again he denied [it] with an oath: “I do not know the man.”
Matthew 26:73	And after a little while, those standing by, having come, said to Peter, “Truly you are of them also, for even your speech makes you evident.”
Matthew 26:74	Then he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know the man!” And immediately a rooster crowed.
Matthew 26:75	And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, [He] having said, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And having gone out, he wept bitterly.
Matthew 27:1	And morning having come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus, so that they might put Him to death.
Matthew 27:2	And having bound Him, they led [Him] away and delivered [Him] to Pilate the governor.
Matthew 27:3	Then Judas, the one having delivered Him up, having seen that He was condemned, having regretted [it], returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew 27:4	saying, “I sinned, having betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What [is it] to us? You will see.”
Matthew 27:5	And having cast down the pieces of silver into the temple, he withdrew. And having gone away, he hanged himself.
Matthew 27:6	And the chief priests, having taken the pieces of silver, said, “It is not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
Matthew 27:7	And having taken counsel, they bought with them the potter’s field for a burial place for foreigners.
Matthew 27:8	Therefore that field was called Field of Blood until this day.
Matthew 27:9	Then was fulfilled that having been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah, saying, “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the One having been priced, on whom a price was set by the sons of Israel,
Matthew 27:10	and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord directed me.”
Matthew 27:11	Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said, “You say [it].”
Matthew 27:12	And in His being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.
Matthew 27:13	Then Pilate says to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they witness against You?”
Matthew 27:14	And He did not answer him, not even to one word, so as to amaze the governor exceedingly.
Matthew 27:15	And at the feast, the governor had been accustomed to release one prisoner to the multitude, whom they willed.
Matthew 27:16	And at that time they were holding a notable prisoner called Barabbas.
Matthew 27:17	Therefore, [in] their being gathered together, Pilate said to them, “Whom do you⁺ desire [that] I shall release to you⁺? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?”
Matthew 27:18	For he had known that they delivered Him up because of envy.
Matthew 27:19	And [in] his sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Nothing with you and that righteous [man], for I suffered many things in a dream today because of Him.”
Matthew 27:20	But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds that they should ask for Barabbas, and should destroy Jesus.
Matthew 27:21	And answering, the governor said to them, “Which of the two do you⁺ desire [that] I shall release to you⁺?” And they said, “Barabbas.”
Matthew 27:22	Pilate says to them, “What then should I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all say, “Let [Him] be crucified!”
Matthew 27:23	And he said, “For what evil did He commit?” And they kept crying out all the more, saying, “Let [Him] be crucified!”
Matthew 27:24	And Pilate, having seen that it availed nothing, but rather a riot is arising, having taken water, he washed the hands before the crowd, saying, “I am guiltless of the blood of this [man]. For yourselves you⁺ will see.”
Matthew 27:25	And answering, all the people, said, “His blood [be] on us and on our children!”
Matthew 27:26	Then he released Barabbas to them. And having flogged Jesus, He delivered [Him] up so that He might be crucified.
Matthew 27:27	Then the soldiers of the governor, having taken with [them] Jesus into the Praetorium, gathered the whole cohort before Him.
Matthew 27:28	And having stripped Him, they put a scarlet robe around Him.
Matthew 27:29	And having twisted together a crown of thorns, they put [it] on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and having bowed the knees before Him, they mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Matthew 27:30	And having spit upon Him, they took the reed and kept striking [Him] on His head.
Matthew 27:31	And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, and they put His garments on Him and led Him away to crucify [Him].
Matthew 27:32	And going out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon. They compelled him that he might carry His cross.
Matthew 27:33	And having come to a place called Golgotha, which is called Place of a Skull,
Matthew 27:34	they gave Him wine to drink, mixed with gall; and having tasted [it], He was not willing to drink [it].
Matthew 27:35	And having crucified Him, they divided His garments, casting a lot.
Matthew 27:36	And sitting down, they were guarding Him there.
Matthew 27:37	And they put up over His head the written accusation against Him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Matthew 27:38	At that time two robbers are crucified with Him, one at the right hand and one at the left.
Matthew 27:39	And those passing by kept railing at Him, wagging their heads
Matthew 27:40	and saying, “The One demolishing the temple and building [it] in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, also come down from the cross!”
Matthew 27:41	Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, with the scribes and elders, were saying,
Matthew 27:42	“He saved others. He is not able to save Himself. He is King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.
Matthew 27:43	He has trusted on God. Let Him deliver [Him] now if He wants Him, for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”
Matthew 27:44	And likewise even the robbers, those having been crucified with Him, were upbraiding Him.
Matthew 27:45	And from the sixth hour darkness was over all the land until the ninth hour.
Matthew 27:46	And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” That is, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?”
Matthew 27:47	And some of those standing there, having heard, were saying, “This [man] calls Elijah.”
Matthew 27:48	And immediately one of them, having run and having taken a sponge, and having filled [it] with vinegar and having put [it] on a reed, gave Him to drink.
Matthew 27:49	And the rest were saying, “Let [it] be. Let us see whether Elijah comes to save Him.”
Matthew 27:50	And Jesus, having cried again in a loud voice, yielded up [His] spirit.
Matthew 27:51	And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split.
Matthew 27:52	And the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints having fallen asleep were raised.
Matthew 27:53	And having gone forth out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered into the holy city and appeared to many.
Matthew 27:54	And the centurion and those with him guarding Jesus, having seen the earthquake and the things taking place, feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was God’s Son.”
Matthew 27:55	And many women were there, looking on from afar off, who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him—
Matthew 27:56	among whom was Mary Magdalene—also Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.
Matthew 27:57	And evening having come, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who himself also was discipled to Jesus.
Matthew 27:58	Having gone to Pilate, he asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up.
Matthew 27:59	And Joseph, having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth
Matthew 27:60	and placed it in his new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And having rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, he went away.
Matthew 27:61	And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other Mary, sitting opposite the tomb.
Matthew 27:62	And the next day, which is after the Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together before Pilate,
Matthew 27:63	saying, “Sir, we have remembered how that deceiver, while living, said, ‘After three days I arise.’
Matthew 27:64	Therefore command the tomb to be secured until the third day, lest ever His disciples, having come, steal Him away and say to the people, ‘He is risen from the dead.’ And the last deception will be worse than the first.”
Matthew 27:65	Pilate said to them, “You⁺ have a guard. Go, make [it as] secure as you⁺ have known.”
Matthew 27:66	And having gone with the guard, they made the tomb secure, having sealed the stone.
Matthew 28:1	Now after the Sabbaths, it being dawn toward the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
Matthew 28:2	And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, having descended out of heaven and having come, rolled away the stone and was sitting upon it.
Matthew 28:3	And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow.
Matthew 28:4	And those keeping guard trembled from fear of him, and they became like dead [men].
Matthew 28:5	And answering, the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you⁺ seek Jesus, the One having been crucified.
Matthew 28:6	He is not here, for He is risen, as He said! Come, see the place where He was lying.
Matthew 28:7	And having gone quickly, say to His disciples, ‘He is risen from the dead, and behold, He goes before you⁺ into Galilee; there you⁺ will see Him.’ Behold, I have told you⁺.”
Matthew 28:8	And having gone out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples.
Matthew 28:9	And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Greetings!” And having come, they took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
Matthew 28:10	Then Jesus says to them, “Do not be afraid. Go, tell My brothers, so that they should go into Galilee. And there they will see Me.”
Matthew 28:11	And [in] their going, behold, some of the guard, having gone into the city, reported to the chief priests all the things having come to pass.
Matthew 28:12	And having been gathered together with the elders and having taken counsel, they gave many pieces of silver to the soldiers,
Matthew 28:13	saying, “Say, ‘His disciples, having come by night, stole Him—we being asleep.’
Matthew 28:14	And if this is heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and we will keep you⁺ out of trouble.”
Matthew 28:15	And having taken the pieces of silver, they did as they were instructed. And this report was spread abroad among the Jews until the present day.
Matthew 28:16	And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus assigned them.
Matthew 28:17	And having seen Him, they worshiped; but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18	And having come near, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in heaven and on the earth was given to Me.
Matthew 28:19	Therefore, having gone, disciple all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:20	teaching them to observe all things, as much as I commanded you⁺. And behold, I am with you⁺ all the days, until the consummation of the age.”
Mark 1:1	The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Mark 1:2	Just as it has been written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way.”
Mark 1:3	“A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight His paths.’”
Mark 1:4	John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance unto forgiveness of sins.
Mark 1:5	And all the region of Judea and all those of Jerusalem were going out to him, and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
Mark 1:6	And John was clothed in camel’s hair, and a belt of leather [was] around his waist, and he is eating locusts and wild honey.
Mark 1:7	And he was proclaiming, saying, “The One mighter than I comes after me, of whom I am not sufficient, having stooped down, to loose the strap of His sandals.
Mark 1:8	I baptized you⁺ in water, but He will baptize you⁺ in the Holy Spirit.”
Mark 1:9	And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
Mark 1:10	And immediately, going up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending like a dove to Him.
Mark 1:11	And a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My Son, the Beloved; in You I was well pleased.”
Mark 1:12	And immediately the Spirit drives Him out into the wilderness.
Mark 1:13	And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and He was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to Him.
Mark 1:14	And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God
Mark 1:15	and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
Mark 1:16	And passing by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
Mark 1:17	And Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you⁺ to become fishers of men.”
Mark 1:18	And immediately, having left the nets, they followed Him.
Mark 1:19	And having gone on a little, He saw James of Zebedee and his brother John. And they [were] in the boat, mending the nets.
Mark 1:20	And immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, they went away after Him.
Mark 1:21	And they go into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbaths, having entered into the synagogue, He was teaching.
Mark 1:22	And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark 1:23	And immediately there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Mark 1:24	saying, “What to us and to You, Jesus the Nazarene? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
Mark 1:25	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out of him!”
Mark 1:26	And having thrown him into convulsions, and having cried in a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him.
Mark 1:27	And all were amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
Mark 1:28	And the news of Him immediately went out everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.
Mark 1:29	And immediately, having gone out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Mark 1:30	And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying sick, having a fever, and immediately they speak to Him about her.
Mark 1:31	And having come near, He raised her up, having taken hold of the hand. And the fever left her, and she was serving them.
Mark 1:32	Now evening having come, when the sun set, they were bringing to Him all those being ill and those being demon-possessed.
Mark 1:33	And all the city was gathered together at the door.
Mark 1:34	And He healed many ill having various diseases, and He cast out many demons. And He was not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Mark 1:35	And having risen up early, very much in the night, He went out and went away into a wilderness place, and there He was praying.
Mark 1:36	And Simon and those with him went after Him.
Mark 1:37	And having found Him, also they say to Him, “Everyone seeks You!”
Mark 1:38	And He says to them, “Let us go another way into the neighboring towns, so that I might preach there also; for I came out for this.”
Mark 1:39	And He went preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out demons.
Mark 1:40	And a leper comes to Him, imploring Him and falling on his knees, and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You are able to cleanse me.”
Mark 1:41	And having been moved with compassion, having stretched out His hand, He touched him and, He says to him, “I am willing; be cleansed!”
Mark 1:42	And immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
Mark 1:43	And having sternly warned him, immediately He sent him out.
Mark 1:44	And He says to him, “See that you say nothing to [anyone]. But go, show yourself to the priest, and offer concerning your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
Mark 1:45	But he, having gone out, began to proclaim much and to spread abroad the word, so that He was no longer able to enter openly into a city, but He was out in wilderness places. And they were coming to Him from everywhere.
Mark 2:1	And He having entered again into Capernaum after [some] days, it was heard that He is in the house.
Mark 2:2	And many were gathered together, so as to have no more space, not even at the door. And He was speaking the word to them.
Mark 2:3	And they come, bringing to Him a paralytic, being carried by four.
Mark 2:4	And not being able to bring [him] to Him through the crowd, they unroofed the roof where He was, and having dug [it] out, they let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying.
Mark 2:5	And Jesus, having seen their faith, says to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.”
Mark 2:6	But there were some of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
Mark 2:7	“Why does this [man] speak thus? He blasphemes! Who is able to forgive sins except One—God?”
Mark 2:8	And immediately Jesus, having known in His spirit that they are reasoning thus in themselves, says to them, “Why do you⁺ reason these things in your⁺ hearts?
Mark 2:9	Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Arise, and take up your mat, and walk’?
Mark 2:10	But so that you⁺ may know that the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on the earth...” He says to the paralytic,
Mark 2:11	“I say to you, arise, take up your mat, and go to your house.”
Mark 2:12	And he arose, and immediately, having taken up the mat, he went out before all, so as for all to be amazed and to glorify God, saying, “Never thus did we see!”
Mark 2:13	And He went out again beside the sea. And all the crowd was coming to Him, and He taught them.
Mark 2:14	And passing by, He saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus sitting at the tax booth, and He says to him, “Follow Me.” And having risen up, he followed Him.
Mark 2:15	And it came to pass, [in] His reclining in his house, that many tax collectors and sinners were reclining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they were following Him.
Mark 2:16	And the scribes of the Pharisees, having seen that He eats with the sinners and tax collectors, were saying to His disciples, “Why does He eat with the tax collectors and sinners?”
Mark 2:17	And Jesus, having heard, says to them, “Those being strong have no need of a physician, rather those being ill. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Mark 2:18	And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to Him, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your⁺ disciples do not fast?”
Mark 2:19	And Jesus said to them, “Are the sons of the bridechamber able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long a time [as] they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast.
Mark 2:20	But days will come when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
Mark 2:21	No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. and if otherwise, the filling up pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear happens.
Mark 2:22	And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. and if otherwise, the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine is destroyed—and the wineskins. But new wine [is put] into new wineskins.”
Mark 2:23	And it came to pass [that] He is passing along through the grainfields on the Sabbaths, and His disciples began to make [their] way, plucking the heads of grain.
Mark 2:24	And the Pharisees were saying to Him, “Behold, why do they [do] on the Sabbaths what is not lawful?”
Mark 2:25	And He says to them, “Did you⁺ never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him:
Mark 2:26	how he entered into the house of God in [the time of] Abiathar the high priest, and he ate the loaves of the presentation, which is not lawful to eat, except for the priests—and he gave also to those being with him?”
Mark 2:27	And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made on account of the man, and not the man on account of the Sabbath.
Mark 2:28	So then, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Mark 3:1	And He entered into the synagogue again, and a man having a withered hand was there.
Mark 3:2	And they were watching Him, whether He will heal him on the Sabbaths, so that they might accuse Him.
Mark 3:3	And He says to the man having the withered hand, “Arise into the midst.”
Mark 3:4	And He says to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbaths to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they were silent.
Mark 3:5	And having looked around at them with anger, being grieved at the hardness of their heart, He says to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored.
Mark 3:6	And the Pharisees, having gone out, immediately were taking counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
Mark 3:7	And Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed, and from Judea,
Mark 3:8	and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon. A great multitude, having heard how much He was doing, came to Him.
Mark 3:9	And He spoke to His disciples so that a boat may wait on Him because of the crowd, so that they might not press upon Him.
Mark 3:10	For He healed many, so as for as many as had afflictions to fall upon Him so that they might touch Him.
Mark 3:11	And the unclean spirits, when they were seeing Him, were falling down before Him and crying out, saying, “You are the Son of God!”
Mark 3:12	And He was warning them much that they should not make Him known.
Mark 3:13	And He goes up onto the mountain, and He summons those whom He Himself was wanting, and they went away to Him.
Mark 3:14	And He appointed twelve, whom also He named apostles, that they might be with Him and that He might send them to preach
Mark 3:15	and to have authority to cast out demons.
Mark 3:16	And He appointed the Twelve: And to Simon He added the name Peter,
Mark 3:17	and James the [son] of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He added to them the name Boanerges, which is Sons of Thunder,
Mark 3:18	and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananean,
Mark 3:19	and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
Mark 3:20	And He comes to a house and a crowd comes together again, so that not even are they able to eat bread.
Mark 3:21	And having heard, those belonging to Him went out to seize Him; for they were saying that He was out of His mind.
Mark 3:22	And the scribes, those from Jerusalem, having come down, were saying, “He has Beelzebul,” and, “By the ruler of the demons He casts out the demons.”
Mark 3:23	And having summoned them, He was saying to them in parables, “How is Satan able to cast out Satan?
Mark 3:24	And if a kingdom may be divided against itself, that kingdom is not able to stand.
Mark 3:25	And if a house may be divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.
Mark 3:26	And if Satan rose up against himself and was divided, he is not able to stand, but he has an end.
Mark 3:27	But no one is able, having entered into the house of the strong [man], to plunder his goods, unless first he should bind the strong [man]. And then he will plunder his house.
Mark 3:28	Truly I say to you⁺ that all sins and blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, as many as they may blaspheme.
Mark 3:29	But whoever may blaspheme in regard to the Holy Spirit does not have forgiveness to the age, but is guilty [of] eternal sin.”
Mark 3:30	For they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”
Mark 3:31	And His mother and His brothers come, and standing outside, they sent to Him, calling Him.
Mark 3:32	And a crowd was sitting around Him, and they say to Him, “Behold, Your mother and Your brothers outside seek You.”
Mark 3:33	And answering them, He says, “Who are My mother and My brothers?”
Mark 3:34	And having looked around at those sitting around Him in a circle, He says, “Behold, My mother and My brothers!
Mark 3:35	For whoever shall do the will of God, this is My brother and sister and mother.”
Mark 4:1	And again He began to teach beside the sea, and a very great crowd gathered together to Him, so that He, having entered into a boat, sat down in the sea, and all the crowd was close to the sea, on the land.
Mark 4:2	And He was teaching them many things in parables, and He was saying to them in His teaching,
Mark 4:3	“Listen! Behold, the one sowing went out to sow.
Mark 4:4	And it came to pass in the sowing [that] some indeed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
Mark 4:5	And other fell upon the rocky [place], where it did not have much soil, and immediately it sprang up because of [it] not having depth of soil.
Mark 4:6	And when the sun rose, it was scorched, and because of having no root, it withered.
Mark 4:7	And other fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
Mark 4:8	And others fell into the good soil, and it was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and one bearing thirtyfold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
Mark 4:9	And He was saying, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mark 4:10	And when He was alone, those around Him with the Twelve were asking Him [about] the parables.
Mark 4:11	And He was saying to them, “To you⁺ has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who [are] outside, everything is done in parables,
Mark 4:12	so that: ‘Seeing they might see and not perceive, and hearing they might hear and not understand, lest ever they might return, and they might be forgiven.’””
Mark 4:13	And He says to them, “Do you⁺ not know this parable? And how will you⁺ know all the parables?
Mark 4:14	The one sowing sows the word.
Mark 4:15	Now these are the ones along the path where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word sown in them.
Mark 4:16	And these are likewise those sown upon the rocky [places], who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy.
Mark 4:17	And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Then, [on] tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are caused to stumble.
Mark 4:18	And others are the ones sown among the thorns. These are the ones having heard the word,
Mark 4:19	and the anxieties of the age, and the deceit of riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mark 4:20	And those are the ones having been sown upon the good soil, such as hear the word and receive [it] and bear fruit: one thirtyfold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
Mark 4:21	And He was saying to them, “Does the lamp come so that it might be put under the basket or under the bed? [Is it] not so that it might be put upon the lampstand?
Mark 4:22	For there is nothing that [is] hidden except so that it should be made manifest; nor was [anything] hidden away but so that it should come to [be] manifest.
Mark 4:23	If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mark 4:24	And He was saying to them, “Look at what you⁺ hear. In what measure you⁺ measure, it will be measured to you⁺, and it will be added to you⁺.
Mark 4:25	For whoever has, [it] will be given to him; and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
Mark 4:26	And He was saying, “Thus is The kingdom of God: as a man may cast the seed upon the earth,
Mark 4:27	and may sleep and rise night and day, and the seed may sprout and grow—he does not know how.
Mark 4:28	Of itself, the earth bears fruit—first a plant, then an ear, then full grain in the ear.
Mark 4:29	And when the fruit may offer itself, immediately he sends the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
Mark 4:30	And He was saying, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or in what parable shall we put it?
Mark 4:31	[It is] like a grain of mustard, which, when it may be sown upon the earth, is smallest of all the seeds that [are] upon the earth.
Mark 4:32	And when it may be sown, it comes up and becomes greater than all the garden plants and makes great branches, so that under its shadow the birds of the sky are able to lodge.”
Mark 4:33	And with many such parables He was speaking the word to them, as they were able to hear.
Mark 4:34	And without a parable He was not speaking to them; but in private to His own disciples He was explaining all things.
Mark 4:35	And on that day, evening having come, He says to them, “Let us pass over to the other side.”
Mark 4:36	And having dismissed the crowd, they take Him along just as He was, in the boat; and other boats were with Him.
Mark 4:37	And there comes a great storm of wind, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so as already to be filling the boat.
Mark 4:38	And He was in the stern on the cushion, sleeping. And they awaken Him and say to Him, “Teacher, is it no concern to You that we are perishing?”
Mark 4:39	And having been awoken, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Silence! Be still!” And the wind abated, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:40	And He said to them, “Why are you⁺ cowardly? Have you⁺ still no faith?”
Mark 4:41	And they feared [with] great fear, and they were saying to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
Mark 5:1	And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gerasenes.
Mark 5:2	And [on] His having gone out of the boat, immediately out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit met Him,
Mark 5:3	who had [his] dwelling in the tombs. And no longer was anyone able to bind him, not even with a chain,
Mark 5:4	because he often had been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn in two by him, and the shackles had been shattered. And no one had strength to subdue him.
Mark 5:5	And constantly all night and day in the tombs and in the mountains he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Mark 5:6	And having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.
Mark 5:7	And having cried out in a loud voice, he says, “What [is it] to me and to You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure You by God, do not torment me!”
Mark 5:8	For He was saying to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!”
Mark 5:9	And He was asking him, “What [is] your name?” And he says to Him, “Legion [is] my name, because we are many.”
Mark 5:10	And he implored Him much that He might not send them out of the region.
Mark 5:11	Now there was near the mountain a great herd of pigs feeding.
Mark 5:12	And they implored Him, saying, “Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter into them.”
Mark 5:13	And He allowed them. And the unclean spirits, having gone out, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea—about two thousand—and they were drowned in the sea.
Mark 5:14	And those feeding them fled and reported [it] to the city and to the fields. And they went to see what it is that has happened.
Mark 5:15	And they come to Jesus, and they see the [man] possessed by demons sitting, clothed and sound-minded—the one having had the legion—and they were afraid.
Mark 5:16	And those having seen [it] related to them how it happened to the one possessed by demons, and about the pigs.
Mark 5:17	And they began to implore Him to go away from their borders.
Mark 5:18	And [on] His having entered into the boat, the one having been possessed by demons was imploring Him that he might be with Him.
Mark 5:19	And He did not permit him, but He says to him, “Go to your house, to your⁺ own, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you, and [how] He had mercy on you.”
Mark 5:20	And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus did for him. And all were marveling.
Mark 5:21	And [on] Jesus having crossed over in the boat again to the other side, a great crowd was gathered to Him, and He was beside the sea.
Mark 5:22	And one of the synagogue rulers comes, named Jairus, and having seen Him, he falls at His feet,
Mark 5:23	and he implores Him much, saying, “My little daughter is holding at the end, so that, having come, You might lay the hands on her, so that she might be saved, and she might live.”
Mark 5:24	And He went away with him. And a great crowd was following Him, and they were pressing in on Him.
Mark 5:25	And a woman, being with a flow of blood twelve years,
Mark 5:26	and having suffered much under many physicians, and having spent all of hers and having benefited in no way, but rather to the worse having come,
Mark 5:27	having heard about Jesus, having come in the crowd behind, she touched His garment.
Mark 5:28	For she was saying, “If I shall touch even His garments, I will be saved.”
Mark 5:29	And immediately her flow of blood was dried up, and she knew in the body that she was healed from the affliction.
Mark 5:30	And immediately Jesus, having known in Himself the power having gone out of Him, having turned in the crowd, said, “Who touched My garments?”
Mark 5:31	And His disciples were saying to Him, “You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’”
Mark 5:32	And He was looking around to see the one having done this.
Mark 5:33	And the woman, having been afraid and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth.
Mark 5:34	And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace and be sound from your affliction.”
Mark 5:35	[In] His still speaking, they come from the synagogue ruler, saying, “Your daughter died; why do you still trouble the Teacher?”
Mark 5:36	But Jesus, having heard the word spoken, says to the synagogue ruler, “Do not fear; only believe.”
Mark 5:37	And He did not allow [anyone] to follow with Him except Peter and James and John the brother of James.
Mark 5:38	And they come to the house of the synagogue ruler, and He sees a commotion, and much weeping and wailing.
Mark 5:39	And having entered, He says to them, “Why do you⁺ make a commotion and weep? The child did not die, but sleeps.”
Mark 5:40	And they were laughing at Him. And He, having put all outside, takes along the father and the mother of the child, and those with Him, and He enters in where the child was.
Mark 5:41	And having taken the hand of the child, He says to her, “Talitha, koum!” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”
Mark 5:42	And immediately the girl arose and began walking, for she was of twelve years. And immediately they were amazed with great amazement.
Mark 5:43	And He instructed them much that no one should know this; and He said to be given to her to eat.
Mark 6:1	And He went out from there and came to His hometown, and His disciples follow Him.
Mark 6:2	And [on] the Sabbath having come, He began to teach in the synagogue; and many hearing were astonished, saying, “From where to this [man] [are] these things, and what [is] the wisdom having been given to Him, and the miracles such as are done by His hands?
Mark 6:3	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 taking offense at Him.
Mark 6:4	And Jesus was saying to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his house.”
Mark 6:5	And He was not able to do there [any] miracle except, having laid the hands on a few of the sick, He healed [them].
Mark 6:6	And He marveled because of their unbelief. And He was going around the villages, teaching.
Mark 6:7	And He summons the Twelve, and He began to send them forth two [by] two, and He was giving to them authority over the unclean spirits.
Mark 6:8	And He instructed them that they may take nothing for the way, except only a staff—no bread, no bag, no copper in the belt—
Mark 6:9	but to wear sandals, and you⁺ may not put on two tunics.
Mark 6:10	And He was saying to them, “Wherever you⁺ may enter into a house, remain there until you⁺ may go out from there.
Mark 6:11	And whatever place may not receive you⁺ nor hear you⁺, going out from there, shake off the dust that [is] under your⁺ feet, as a testimony against them.”
Mark 6:12	And having gone out, they preached that they should repent.
Mark 6:13	And they were casting out many demons, and they were anointing many sick with oil and healing [them].
Mark 6:14	And King Herod heard; for His name became well known, And they were saying, “John, the one baptizing, has been raised out from the dead. And because of this, the miraculous powers are working in him.”
Mark 6:15	But others were saying, “He is Elijah,” and others were saying, “A prophet, like one of the prophets.”
Mark 6:16	And having heard, Herod was saying, “John, whom I beheaded—this one was raised!”
Mark 6:17	For Herod himself, having sent, seized John and bound him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her.
Mark 6:18	For John was saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have the wife of your brother.”
Mark 6:19	And Herodias was holding it against him and was wanting to kill him, and she was not able.
Mark 6:20	For Herod was afraid of John, knowing him [as] a man righteous and holy, and he was keeping him safe. And having heard him, he was much perplexed and heard him gladly.
Mark 6:21	And an opportune day having come, when Herod on his birthday made a banquet to his great men, and to the commanders, and to the first [men] of Galilee,
Mark 6:22	and the daughter of Herodias herself, having entered and having danced, pleased Herod and those reclining with [him]. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you wish, and I will give [it] to you.”
Mark 6:23	And he swore to her much, “Whatever, you might ask me, I will give to you, up to half of my kingdom!”
Mark 6:24	And having gone out, she said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” And she said, “The head of John, the one baptizing.”
Mark 6:25	And having entered immediately with haste to the king, she asked, saying, “I want that at once you might give to me upon a platter the head of John the Baptist.”
Mark 6:26	And the king, having been made very sorrowful because of the oaths and those reclining, did not want to set her aside.
Mark 6:27	And immediately the king, having sent an executioner, commanded to be brought his head. And having gone away, he beheaded him in the prison
Mark 6:28	and brought his head upon a platter and gave it to the girl, and the girl gave it to her mother.
Mark 6:29	And having heard [of it], his disciples came and took up his body and laid it in a tomb.
Mark 6:30	And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus, and they reported to Him all things, as much as they did and as much as they taught.
Mark 6:31	And He said to them, “Come, you⁺ yourselves, apart to a wilderness place, and rest a little.” For those coming and those going were many, and not even were they having opportunity to eat.
Mark 6:32	And they went away in the boat to a wilderness place by themselves.
Mark 6:33	And many saw them going and recognized, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities and went before them.
Mark 6:34	And having gone out, He saw a great crowd and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.
Mark 6:35	And the hour already being late, having come to Him, His disciples were saying, “The place is a wilderness, and the hour already [is] late.
Mark 6:36	Dismiss them so that, having gone to the surrounding fields and villages, they might buy for themselves something to eat.”
Mark 6:37	But answering, He said to them, “You⁺ give to them to eat.” And they say to Him, “Having gone away, shall we buy two hundred denarii of loaves and give them to eat?”
Mark 6:38	And He says to them, “How many loaves do you⁺ have? Go, see.” And having known, they say, “Five, and two fish.”
Mark 6:39	And He commanded them to make them all recline, groups [by] groups, on the green grass.
Mark 6:40	And they sat down groups [by] groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
Mark 6:41	And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. And He was giving [them] to His disciples, so that they might set before them. And He divided the two fish among all.
Mark 6:42	And all ate and were satisfied.
Mark 6:43	And they took up twelve hand-baskets full of fragments, and of the fish.
Mark 6:44	And those having eaten of the loaves were five thousand men.
Mark 6:45	And immediately He compelled His disciples to enter into the boat and to go before [Him] to the other side, to Bethsaida, until He dismisses the crowd.
Mark 6:46	And having taken leave of them, He went away to the mountain to pray.
Mark 6:47	And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and He alone on the land.
Mark 6:48	And having seen them straining in the rowing—for the wind was contrary to them—about the fourth watch of the night, He goes to them, walking on the sea, and He was wanting to pass by them.
Mark 6:49	And having seen Him walking on the sea, they thought that [He] is a ghost, and they cried out.
Mark 6:50	For all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He spoke with them, and He says to them, “Take courage! I am [He]! Do not be afraid.”
Mark 6:51	And He went up to them into the boat, and the wind abated. And exceedingly in abundance in themselves, they were amazed.
Mark 6:52	For they did not understand about the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
Mark 6:53	And having crossed over, they came to the land, to Gennesaret, and they drew to shore.
Mark 6:54	And [on] their having come out of the boat, immediately having recognized Him,
Mark 6:55	they ran around all that region, and they began to carry around on mats those being ill to where they were hearing that He is.
Mark 6:56	And wherever He was entering into villages or into cities or into fields, they were laying the ailing in the marketplaces and were imploring Him that they might only touch the fringe of His garment. And as many as touched Him were saved.
Mark 7:1	And the Pharisees and some of the scribes having come from Jerusalem are gathered together to Him.
Mark 7:2	And they had seen some of His disciples, that with defiled hands—that is, unwashed—they are eating the loaves.
Mark 7:3	(For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash the hands to the fist, holding to the tradition of the elders;
Mark 7:4	and [coming] from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they immerse; and there are many other things that they received to hold to—immersions of cups and pitchers and bronze vessels and couches.)
Mark 7:5	And the Pharisees and the scribes questioned Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat the bread with defiled hands?”
Mark 7:6	And He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied correctly about you⁺ hypocrites, as it has been written: ‘This people honors Me with the lips, but their heart is kept far away from Me;
Mark 7:7	and in vain they worship Me, teaching [as] teachings the precepts of men.’
Mark 7:8	Having left the commandment of God, you⁺ hold to the tradition of men.”
Mark 7:9	And He was saying to them, “Nobly do you⁺ set aside the commandment of God so that you⁺ might keep your⁺ tradition.
Mark 7:10	For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘The one speaking evil of father or mother, in death let him end.’
Mark 7:11	But you⁺ say [that] if a man might say to the father or to the mother, ‘Whatever you might be profited from me [is] Corban’ (that is, a gift),
Mark 7:12	no longer do you⁺ permit him to do anything for the father or for the mother,
Mark 7:13	making void the word of God for your⁺ tradition, which you⁺ delivered. And you⁺ do many things as such.”
Mark 7:14	And having summoned the crowd again, He was saying to them, “Hear Me, all, and understand:
Mark 7:15	There is nothing from outside the man entering into him that is able to defile him; but the things proceeding out of the man are the things defiling the man.”
Mark 7:16	
Mark 7:17	And when He entered into the house from the crowd, His disciples were questioning Him [about] the parable.
Mark 7:18	And He says to them, “Thus are you⁺ also without understanding? Do you⁺ not understand that everything entering into the man from outside is not able to defile him,
Mark 7:19	because it does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, and goes out into the sewer?”—[thus] purifying all the foods.
Mark 7:20	And He was saying, “That which is proceeding out of the man, that defiles the man.
Mark 7:21	For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil reasonings, sexual immorality, thefts, murders, adulteries,
Mark 7:22	covetous desires, wickednesses, deceit, sensuality, an evil eye, slander, pride, foolishness.
Mark 7:23	All these evils proceed from within, and they defile the man.”
Mark 7:24	And from there having risen up, He went away into the borders of Tyre. And having entered into a house, He was wanting no one to know [it], and He was not able to be hidden.
Mark 7:25	But immediately, having heard about Him, a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having come, fell at His feet.
Mark 7:26	Now the woman was a Greek, Syrophoenician by race, and she was asking Him that He might cast the demon out of her daughter.
Mark 7:27	And He was saying to her, “Permit the children first to be satisfied; for it is not good to take the bread of the children and to cast [it] to the dogs.”
Mark 7:28	But she answered, and she says to Him, “Yes, Lord, even the dogs under the table eat from the crumbs of the children.”
Mark 7:29	And He said to her, “Because of this word, go; the demon has gone forth out of your daughter.”
Mark 7:30	And having gone away to her house, she found the child laid on the bed, and the demon having gone out.
Mark 7:31	And again, having gone out from the borders of Tyre, He went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the midst of the borders of the Decapolis.
Mark 7:32	And they bring to Him a deaf [man] (and he spoke with difficulty), and they implore Him that He might lay the hand on him.
Mark 7:33	And having taken him away from the crowd by himself, He put His fingers into his ears. And having spit, He touched his tongue.
Mark 7:34	And having looked up to heaven, He sighed deeply, and He says to him, “Ephphatha!” (that is, “Be opened!”)
Mark 7:35	And his ears were opened, and immediately the band of his tongue was loosed, and he was speaking rightly.
Mark 7:36	And He instructed them that they should tell no one. But as much as He was instructing them, they were proclaiming [it] more abundantly.
Mark 7:37	And they were astonished above measure, saying, “He has done all things well! He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak!”
Mark 8:1	In those days, the crowd again being great and not having what they might eat, having summoned the disciples, He says to them,
Mark 8:2	“I have compassion toward the crowd, because already three days they continue with Me and have nothing that they might eat.
Mark 8:3	And if I shall dismiss them hungry to their house, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from afar.”
Mark 8:4	And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to satisfy these with loaves here in a wilderness?”
Mark 8:5	And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you⁺ have?” And they said, “Seven.”
Mark 8:6	And He commands the crowd to recline on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke [them] and was giving [them] to His disciples to set before [them]. And they set [them] before the crowd.
Mark 8:7	And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, He said to set before [them] these also.
Mark 8:8	And they ate and were satisfied, and they took up an abundance of fragments—seven baskets.
Mark 8:9	And there were about four thousand. And He dismissed them.
Mark 8:10	And immediately, having entered into the boat with His disciples, He went to the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mark 8:11	And the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.
Mark 8:12	And having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I say to you⁺, no sign will be given to this generation.”
Mark 8:13	And having left them, having embarked again, He went away to the other side.
Mark 8:14	And they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat.
Mark 8:15	And He was instructing them, saying, “Watch! Take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
Mark 8:16	And they were reasoning with one another because they had no loaves.
Mark 8:17	And having known, He says to them, “Why do you⁺ reason that you⁺ have no loaves? Do you⁺ not yet perceive, nor do you⁺ understand? Do you⁺ have your⁺ heart hardened?
Mark 8:18	‘Having eyes, do you⁺ not see? And having ears, do you⁺ not hear?’ And do you⁺ not remember?
Mark 8:19	When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments did you⁺ take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
Mark 8:20	“When also the seven [were] for the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you⁺ take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
Mark 8:21	And He was saying to them, “Do you⁺ not yet understand?”
Mark 8:22	And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to Him a blind [man] and implore Him that He might touch him.
Mark 8:23	And having taken hold of the hand of the blind [man], He led him forth outside of the village. And having spit upon his eyes, having laid the hands upon him, He was asking him, “Do you see anything?”
Mark 8:24	And having looked up, he was saying, “I see the men, because I see [them] as trees walking.”
Mark 8:25	Then He laid the hands upon his eyes again, and he opened his eyes, and he was restored, and he was seeing everything clearly.
Mark 8:26	And He sent him to his house, saying, “Do not enter into the village.”
Mark 8:27	And Jesus and His disciples went out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say I am?”
Mark 8:28	And they spoke to Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”
Mark 8:29	And He was questioning them, “But you⁺, who do you⁺ say I am?” Answering, Peter says to Him, “You are the Christ.”
Mark 8:30	And He warned them that they should tell no one concerning Him.
Mark 8:31	And He began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again.
Mark 8:32	And He was speaking openly the word. And Peter, having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him.
Mark 8:33	But having turned and having seen His disciples, He rebuked Peter, and He says, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
Mark 8:34	And having summoned the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
Mark 8:35	For whoever may want to save his life will lose it, but whoever will lose his life on account of Me and of the gospel, he will save it.
Mark 8:36	For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul?
Mark 8:37	For what shall a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?
Mark 8:38	For whoever may be ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when He shall come in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Mark 9:1	And He was saying to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they shall see the kingdom of God having come in power.”
Mark 9:2	And after six days, Jesus takes along Peter and James and John, and He brings them up onto a high mountain by themselves alone. And He was transfigured before them,
Mark 9:3	and His garments became radiant, exceedingly white, such as no launderer on the earth is able thus to whiten [them].
Mark 9:4	And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
Mark 9:5	And answering, Peter says to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three tabernacles—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Mark 9:6	For he did not know what he should answer, for they were terrified.
Mark 9:7	And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and there was a voice out of the cloud: “This is My Son, the Beloved; listen to Him!”
Mark 9:8	And suddenly, having looked around, no longer did they see [anyone] but Jesus alone with themselves.
Mark 9:9	And [in] their coming down from the mountain, He instructed them that they should relate to no one what they saw, except when the Son of Man should rise out from the dead.
Mark 9:10	And they kept the word to themselves, discussing what it is to rise out from the dead.
Mark 9:11	And they were questioning Him, saying, “The scribes say that it is necessary for Elijah to come first.”
Mark 9:12	And He was saying to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things. And how has it been written about the Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be set at nothing?
Mark 9:13	But I say to you⁺ that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they were wanting, as it has been written of him.”
Mark 9:14	And having come to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes disputing with them.
Mark 9:15	And immediately all the crowd, having seen Him, were greatly amazed, and running to [Him], they were greeting Him.
Mark 9:16	And He questioned them, “What are you⁺ disputing with them?”
Mark 9:17	And one out of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought to You my son, having a mute spirit.
Mark 9:18	And wherever it might seize him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes his teeth and is withering away. And I spoke to Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they did not have the strength.”
Mark 9:19	And answering them, He says, “O unbelieving generation, until when will I be with you⁺? Until when will I bear with you⁺? Bring him to Me.”
Mark 9:20	And they brought him to Him, and having seen Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions. And having fallen upon the ground, he was rolling around, foaming.
Mark 9:21	And He questioned his father, “How long a time is it that this has been with him?” And he said, “From childhood.”
Mark 9:22	And often it also cast him into the fire and into the waters, so that it might destroy him. But if You are able [to do] anything, help us, having compassion on us.”
Mark 9:23	And Jesus said to him, “‘If You are able’? All things [are] possible to the one believing!”
Mark 9:24	Immediately, having cried out, the father of the child was saying, “I believe; help my unbelief!”
Mark 9:25	And Jesus, having seen that a crowd is running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and no more may you enter into him.”
Mark 9:26	And having cried out, and having thrown him into many convulsions, it came out. And he became as if dead, so as for many to say that he was dead.
Mark 9:27	But Jesus, having taken him by the hand, raised him up, and he arose.
Mark 9:28	And [on] His having entered into the house, His disciples were questioning Him by Himself, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
Mark 9:29	And He said to them, “This kind is able to come out by nothing except by prayer.”
Mark 9:30	Having gone out from there, they were passing through Galilee. And He did not wish that anyone should know,
Mark 9:31	for He was teaching His disciples. And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and having been killed, after three days He will rise.”
Mark 9:32	But they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question Him.
Mark 9:33	And they came to Capernaum. And being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you⁺ reasoning on the way?”
Mark 9:34	But they were silent, for they discussed with one another on the way who [was] greater.
Mark 9:35	And having sat down, He called the Twelve, and He says to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.”
Mark 9:36	And having taken a little child, He set him in their midst. And having taken him in [His] arms, He said to them,
Mark 9:37	“Whoever shall receive one of such little children in My name receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me does not receive Me but the One having sent Me.”
Mark 9:38	John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name who does not follow us, and we were forbidding him, because he was not following us.”
Mark 9:39	And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him. For there is no one who will do a mighty work in My name and will be able quickly to speak evil of Me.
Mark 9:40	For whoever is not against us is for us.
Mark 9:41	For whoever shall give you⁺ to drink a cup of water because you⁺ are Christ’s in name, truly I say to you⁺ that he shall never lose his reward.
Mark 9:42	And whoever might cause to stumble one of these little ones believing in Me, it is better for him rather if a heavy millstone is put around his neck and he has been cast into the sea.
Mark 9:43	And if your hand may cause you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go away into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire.
Mark 9:44	
Mark 9:45	And if your foot may cause you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame than, having the two feet, to be cast into Gehenna.
Mark 9:46	
Mark 9:47	And if your eye may cause you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God one-eyed than, having two eyes, to be cast into Gehenna,
Mark 9:48	where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
Mark 9:49	For everyone will be salted with fire.
Mark 9:50	The salt [is] good, but if the salt should become unsalty, with what will you⁺ season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Mark 10:1	And from there, having risen up, He comes into the borders of Judea, and beyond the Jordan. And again crowds come together to Him, and as He had been accustomed, again He was teaching them.
Mark 10:2	And having come, the Pharisees were questioning Him whether it is lawful for a husband to send away a wife—testing Him.
Mark 10:3	And answering, He said to them, “What did Moses command you⁺?”
Mark 10:4	And they said, “Moses allowed [us] to write a roll of divorce and to send [her] away.”
Mark 10:5	But Jesus said to them, “For your⁺ hardness of heart he wrote you⁺ this commandment;
Mark 10:6	but from the beginning of creation, ‘He made them male and female.’
Mark 10:7	‘On account of this a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
Mark 10:8	and the two will be for one flesh,’ so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.
Mark 10:9	Therefore what God has yoked together, let man not separate.”
Mark 10:10	And in the house again, the disciples were questioning Him about this.
Mark 10:11	And He says to them, “Whoever shall send away his wife and shall marry another, he commits adultery against her.
Mark 10:12	And if a woman, having divorced her husband, shall marry another, she commits adultery.”
Mark 10:13	And they were bringing little children to Him so that He might touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.
Mark 10:14	And having seen, Jesus was indignant and said to them, “Permit the little children to come to Me; do not forbid them! For of such is the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:15	Truly I say to you⁺, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall never enter into it.”
Mark 10:16	And having taken [them] in [His] arms, He was blessing them, having laid the hands on them.
Mark 10:17	And of Him going forth into the way, one having run up and having knelt down to Him was questioning Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do so that I may inherit eternal life?”
Mark 10:18	And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except one—God.
Mark 10:19	You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.”
Mark 10:20	And he was saying to Him, “Teacher, all these I kept from my youth.”
Mark 10:21	And Jesus, having looked on him, loved him and said to him, “One thing to you is lacking: Go, sell as much as you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”
Mark 10:22	And having been sad at the word, he went away grieving; for he was one having many possessions.
Mark 10:23	And having looked around, Jesus says to His disciples, “How difficultly those having riches will enter into the kingdom of God!”
Mark 10:24	And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus, answering, says to them again, “Children, how difficult it is to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark 10:25	It is easier [for] a camel to pass through the eye of the needle than [for] a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Mark 10:26	And they were exceedingly astonished, saying among themselves, “And who is able to be saved?”
Mark 10:27	Having looked on them, Jesus says, “With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things [are] possible with God.”
Mark 10:28	Peter began to say to Him, “Behold, we left all and followed You.”
Mark 10:29	Jesus was saying, “Truly I say to you⁺, there is no one who left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the sake of the gospel
Mark 10:30	who shall not receive a 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, eternal life.
Mark 10:31	But many first will be last, and the last, first.”
Mark 10:32	And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going on before them. And they were astonished, and those following were afraid. And having taken aside the Twelve again, He began to tell them the things being about to happen to Him:
Mark 10:33	“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death and will betray Him to the Gentiles.
Mark 10:34	And they will mock Him and will spit upon Him and will flog Him and will kill [Him], and after three days He will rise again.”
Mark 10:35	And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to Him, saying to Him, “Teacher, we wish that You would do for us whatever we might ask You.”
Mark 10:36	And He said to them, “What do you⁺ want Me to do for you⁺?”
Mark 10:37	And they said to Him, “Give to us that one at Your right hand and one at [Your] left hand we might sit in Your glory.”
Mark 10:38	And Jesus said to them, “You⁺ do not know what you⁺ ask. Are you⁺ able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized [with] the baptism [with] which I am baptized?”
Mark 10:39	And they said to Him, “We are able.” And Jesus said to them, “You⁺ will drink the cup that I drink, and you⁺ will be baptized [with] the baptism [with] which I am baptized.
Mark 10:40	But to sit at My right hand or at [My] left hand is not Mine to give, but [it is to] those for whom it has been prepared.”
Mark 10:41	And having heard, the ten began to be indignant about James and John.
Mark 10:42	And Jesus, having summoned them, says to them, “You⁺ know that those considered to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
Mark 10:43	But it is not thus among you⁺. But whoever may want to become great among you⁺, he will be your⁺ servant;
Mark 10:44	and whoever may want to be first among you⁺, he will be slave of all.
Mark 10:45	For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life [as] a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:46	And they come to Jericho. And [in] His going out from Jericho—and His disciples and a large crowd—the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting beside the road.
Mark 10:47	And having heard that it is Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and to say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mark 10:48	And many were rebuking him that he should be silent. But much more he was crying out, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Mark 10:49	And having stood, Jesus said, “Call him.” And they call the blind [man], saying to him, “Take courage! Rise up! He calls you.”
Mark 10:50	And having cast away his cloak, having leaped up, he came to Jesus.
Mark 10:51	And answering him, Jesus says, “What do you desire [that] I may do for you?” And the blind [man] said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive sight.”
Mark 10:52	“And” Jesus said to him, “Go, your faith has saved you.” And immediately he received his sight, and he was following Him on the road.
Mark 11:1	And when they draw near to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the Mount of Olives, He sends two of His disciples,
Mark 11:2	and He says to them, “Go into the village ahead of you⁺, and immediately entering into it you⁺ will find a colt tied, on which no one of men yet sat. Having loosed it, also bring [it].
Mark 11:3	And if anyone should say to you⁺, ‘Why are you⁺ doing this?’ say, ‘Because the Lord has need of it, and immediately He sends it again here.’”
Mark 11:4	And they went away and found a colt tied at the door outside on the street, and they loose it.
Mark 11:5	And some of those standing there were saying to them, “What are you⁺ doing, loosing the colt?”
Mark 11:6	And they said to them just as Jesus said, and they allowed them.
Mark 11:7	And they bring the colt to Jesus, and they cast on it their garments, and He sat on it.
Mark 11:8	And many spread their garments in the road, and others, branches having been cut from the fields.
Mark 11:9	And those going before and those following were crying out: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!”
Mark 11:10	“Blessed [is] the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
Mark 11:11	And He entered into Jerusalem, into the temple. And having looked around at all things, the hour being already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.
Mark 11:12	And on the next day, [on] their having gone out from Bethany, He was hungry.
Mark 11:13	And having seen a fig tree from afar having leaves, He went [to see] if perhaps He will find anything on it. And having gone to it, He found nothing except leaves, for it was not the season of figs.
Mark 11:14	And answering, He said to it, “No more to the age may anyone eat of your fruit.” And His disciples were hearing.
Mark 11:15	And they come to Jerusalem. And having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling and those buying in the temple. And He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling the doves,
Mark 11:16	and He was not permitting that anyone might carry a vessel through the temple.
Mark 11:17	And He was teaching and was saying to them, “Has it not been written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations’? But you⁺ have made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Mark 11:18	And the chief priests and the scribes heard, and they were seeking how they might destroy Him. For they were afraid of Him, for all the crowd was astonished at His teaching.
Mark 11:19	And when evening came, they were going forth out of the city.
Mark 11:20	And passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots.
Mark 11:21	And having remembered, Peter says to Him, “Rabbi, look, the fig tree that You cursed has withered.”
Mark 11:22	And answering, Jesus says to them, “Have faith from God.
Mark 11:23	Truly I say to you⁺ that whoever shall say to this mountain, ‘Be taken away and be cast into the sea,’ and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that what he says happens, it will be done for him.
Mark 11:24	Because of this, I say to you⁺, all things—as many as you⁺ pray and ask—believe that you⁺ receive, and it will be unto you⁺.
Mark 11:25	And when you⁺ stand praying, if you⁺ have anything against anyone, forgive, so that your⁺ Father who [is] in the heavens may also forgive you⁺ your⁺ trespasses.”
Mark 11:26	
Mark 11:27	And they come again to Jerusalem, and [in] His walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders come to Him.
Mark 11:28	And they were saying to Him, “By what authority do You do these things? Or who gave You this authority, that You should do these things?”
Mark 11:29	And Jesus said to them, “I will question you⁺ one word, and you⁺ shall answer Me, and I will tell you⁺ by what authority I do these things.
Mark 11:30	The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men? Answer Me!”
Mark 11:31	And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “What should we say? If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why then did you⁺ not believe him?’
Mark 11:32	But should we say, ‘From men’...” they were afraid of the crowd, for all were holding that John truly was a prophet.
Mark 11:33	And answering Jesus, they say, “We do not know.” And Jesus says to them, “Neither do I tell you⁺ by what authority I do these things.”
Mark 12:1	And He began to speak to them in parables: “A man planted a vineyard, and he placed around [it] a fence and dug a wine vat and built a tower, and he rented it out to farmers and traveled abroad.
Mark 12:2	And he sent a servant to the farmers in the season, so that he might receive from the farmers from the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark 12:3	And having taken him, they beat [him] and sent [him] away empty.
Mark 12:4	And again he sent to them another servant, and that one they struck on the head and dishonored [him].
Mark 12:5	And he sent another, and that one they killed—and many others—indeed beating some and killing some.
Mark 12:6	Yet having one beloved son, he sent him to them last, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Mark 12:7	But those farmers said to themselves, ‘This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’
Mark 12:8	And having taken [him], they killed him and cast him out of the vineyard.
Mark 12:9	What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and will destroy the farmers, and he will give the vineyard to others.
Mark 12:10	Did you⁺ not even read this Scripture: ‘The stone that those building rejected, this became the head of the corner;
Mark 12:11	this was from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?”
Mark 12:12	And they were seeking to lay hold of Him, and they feared the crowd; for they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And having left Him, they went away.
Mark 12:13	And they send to Him some of the Pharisees and Herodians, so that they might catch Him in a word.
Mark 12:14	And having come, they say to Him, “Teacher, we know that You are true, and to You there is no care about [anyone]; for You do not look to the appearance of men, but You teach the way of God on the basis of truth. Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not? Should we pay or not pay?”
Mark 12:15	But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, “Why do you⁺ test Me? Bring Me a denarius, so that I might see [it].”
Mark 12:16	And they brought [it]. And He says to them, “Whose image [is] this—and the inscription?” And they said to Him, “Caesar’s.”
Mark 12:17	And Jesus said to them, “Give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.” And they were marveling at Him.
Mark 12:18	And [some] Sadducees, who say there is not a resurrection, come to Him. And they were questioning Him, saying,
Mark 12:19	“Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if anyone’s brother should die and leave behind a wife and not leave a child, that his brother should take the wife and should raise up seed for his brother.
Mark 12:20	There were seven brothers; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no seed.
Mark 12:21	And the second took her and died, not having left behind seed; and the third likewise.
Mark 12:22	And the seven left no seed. Last of all, the woman also died.
Mark 12:23	In the resurrection, when they rise, of which of them will she be wife? For the seven had her [as] wife.”
Mark 12:24	Jesus was saying to them, “Do you⁺ not go astray because of this, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
Mark 12:25	For when they rise out from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage; but they are like angels in the heavens.
Mark 12:26	But concerning the dead, that they rise, did you⁺ not read in the book of Moses, at the bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I [am] the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob’?
Mark 12:27	He is not God of the dead, but of the living. You⁺ go astray greatly!”
Mark 12:28	And one of the scribes having come, having heard them reasoning together, having seen that He answered them well, questioned Him, “Which commandment is first of all?”
Mark 12:29	Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One.
Mark 12:30	And you shall love the Lord your God out of all your heart and out of all your soul and out of all your mind and out of all your strength.’
Mark 12:31	The second [is] this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is not another commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:32	And the scribe said to Him, “Right, Teacher; You have spoken according to truth that He is One and [that] there is not another besides Him,
Mark 12:33	and to love Him out of all the heart and out of all the understanding and out of all the strength, and to love the neighbor as oneself is more than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Mark 12:34	And Jesus, having seen him that he answered wisely, said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him [any] longer.
Mark 12:35	And answering, Jesus was saying, teaching in the temple, “How do the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?
Mark 12:36	David himself said in the Holy Spirit: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet.”’
Mark 12:37	David himself calls Him ‘Lord.’ And from where is He his son?” And the great crowd was listening to Him gladly.
Mark 12:38	And in His teaching He was saying, “Beware of the scribes, who [are] wanting to walk about in long robes and greetings in the marketplaces,
Mark 12:39	and first seats in the synagogues, and first places at the suppers—
Mark 12:40	those devouring the houses of widows and praying long as a pretext. These will receive more abundant judgment.”
Mark 12:41	And having sat down opposite the treasury, He was watching how the crowd casts money into the treasury; and many rich ones were casting [in] much.
Mark 12:42	And having come, one poor widow cast [in] two lepta, which is a kodrantes.
Mark 12:43	And having summoned His disciples, He said to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that this poor widow cast [in] more than all of those casting into the treasury.
Mark 12:44	For all cast [in] out of that which is abounding to them, but she out of her poverty cast [in] all, as much as she had—her whole livelihood.”
Mark 13:1	And [on] His going forth out of the temple, one of His disciples says to Him, “Teacher, behold what stones and what buildings!”
Mark 13:2	And Jesus said to him,” “Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone here shall be left upon a stone that shall not be thrown down.”
Mark 13:3	And [in] His sitting at the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him by Himself,
Mark 13:4	“Tell us when these things will be, and what [is] the sign when all these things are about to be accomplished?”
Mark 13:5	And Jesus began to say to them, “Take heed, lest anyone may lead you⁺ astray.
Mark 13:6	Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am [He],’ and they will lead many astray.
Mark 13:7	And when you⁺ shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. It is necessary to happen, but the end [is] not yet.
Mark 13:8	For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These [are] the beginning of birth pains.
Mark 13:9	But you⁺, take heed to yourselves. They will deliver you⁺ up to courts, and you⁺ will be beaten in synagogues, and you⁺ will stand before governors and kings on account of Me, for a testimony to them.
Mark 13:10	And to all the nations first it is necessary for the gospel to be proclaimed.
Mark 13:11	But when they might lead you⁺ away, delivering [you] up, do not be anxious beforehand what you⁺ shall speak; but whatever might be given to you⁺ in that hour, speak that. For you⁺ are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
Mark 13:12	And brother will deliver up brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise up against parents and will put them to death.
Mark 13:13	And you⁺ will be hated by all because of My name; but the one having endured to the end, he will be saved.
Mark 13:14	But when you⁺ shall see the ‘abomination of the desolation’ standing where it should not (the one reading, let him understand), then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains;
Mark 13:15	and the one upon the housetop, let him not come down nor go in to take up anything out of his house;
Mark 13:16	and the one in the field, let him not return to the things behind to take away his garment.
Mark 13:17	And woe to those having in womb and to those nursing in those days!
Mark 13:18	And pray that it might not be in winter,
Mark 13:19	for those days will be tribulation such as has not been from the beginning of creation that God created until now, and never shall be.
Mark 13:20	And if the Lord did not shorten the days, not any flesh would have been saved; but because of the chosen whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Mark 13:21	And then if anyone shall say to you⁺, ‘Behold, here [is] the Christ!’ [or] ‘Behold, there!’ do not believe [it].
Mark 13:22	For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will give signs and wonders in order to lead astray, if possible, the chosen.
Mark 13:23	But you⁺ take heed; I have forewarned you⁺ of all things.
Mark 13:24	But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light;
Mark 13:25	and the stars will be falling out of the sky, and the powers that [are] in the heavens will be shaken.’
Mark 13:26	And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mark 13:27	And then He will send the angels, and He will gather together His chosen from the four winds, from the end of earth to the end of heaven.
Mark 13:28	And from the fig tree, learn the parable: When its branch already shall have become tender, and it puts forth leaves, you⁺ know that summer is near.
Mark 13:29	So also you⁺, when you⁺ see these things coming to pass, know that He is near, at the doors.
Mark 13:30	Truly I say to you⁺ that this generation shall not have passed away until all these things shall have come to pass.
Mark 13:31	The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Mark 13:32	But concerning that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, except the Father.
Mark 13:33	Take heed; stay awake! For you⁺ do not know when the time is.
Mark 13:34	[It is] like a man going on a journey, having left his house and having given his servants authority, to each his work. And he commanded the doorkeeper that he should watch.
Mark 13:35	Therefore watch, for you⁺ do not know when the master of the house comes—either at evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or morning—
Mark 13:36	lest, having come suddenly, he should find you⁺ sleeping.
Mark 13:37	And what I say to you⁺, I say to all: Watch!”
Mark 14:1	And after two days it would be the Passover and the Unleavened. And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, having taken Him by stealth, they might kill [Him].
Mark 14:2	For they were saying, “Not during the feast, lest there will be an uproar of the people.”
Mark 14:3	And of Him being in Bethany in the house of Simon the Leper, [at] His having reclined, a woman came, having an alabaster flask of fragrant oil of pure nard of great price. Having broken the alabaster flask, she poured [it] on His head.
Mark 14:4	And some were indignant within themselves: “Why has this waste of the fragrant oil come to pass?
Mark 14:5	For this fragrant oil could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor.” And they were grumbling at her.
Mark 14:6	And Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why do you⁺ cause trouble to her? She did a good work toward Me.
Mark 14:7	For the poor you⁺ always have with you, and you⁺ are able to do them good whenever you⁺ desire; but not always do you⁺ have Me.
Mark 14:8	She did what she could. She came beforehand to anoint My body for the burial.
Mark 14:9	And truly I say to you⁺, wherever the gospel shall be proclaimed in the whole world, what this [woman] did also will be spoken of, for a memorial of her.”
Mark 14:10	And Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went away to the chief priests, so that he might betray Him to them.
Mark 14:11	And having heard, they rejoiced and promised to give him silver. And he was seeking how he might deliver Him up opportunely.
Mark 14:12	And on the first day of the Unleavened, when they were to sacrifice the Passover, His disciples say to Him, “Where do You desire [that], having gone, we should prepare so that You may eat the Passover?”
Mark 14:13	And He sends forth two of His disciples and says to them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you⁺. Follow him.
Mark 14:14	And wherever he might enter, say to the master of the house that the Teacher says, ‘Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’
Mark 14:15	And he will show you⁺ a large upper room, having been furnished, prepared. And prepare for us there.”
Mark 14:16	And the disciples went away, and they came into the city, and they found [it] as He said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Mark 14:17	And evening having come, He comes with the Twelve.
Mark 14:18	And [in] their reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I say to you⁺ that one of you⁺ who is eating with Me will betray Me.”
Mark 14:19	They began to be grieved and to say to Him one by one, “Surely not I?”
Mark 14:20	And He said to them, “One of the Twelve, the one dipping into the bowl with Me.
Mark 14:21	For indeed, the Son of Man goes as it has been written concerning Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! [It were] better for him if that man had not been born.”
Mark 14:22	And [in] their eating, having taken bread, having spoken a blessing, He broke [it] and gave to them and said, “Take; this is My body.”
Mark 14:23	And having taken the cup, having given thanks, He gave to them, and they all drank of it.
Mark 14:24	And He said to them, “This is My blood of the covenant, which is being poured out for many.
Mark 14:25	Truly I say to you⁺ that I will never [again] drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it anew in the kingdom of God.”
Mark 14:26	And having sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
Mark 14:27	And Jesus says to them, “You⁺ will all fall away, for it has been written: ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’
Mark 14:28	But after having arisen, I will go before you⁺ into Galilee.”
Mark 14:29	But Peter was saying to Him, “Even if all will fall away, yet not I.”
Mark 14:30	And Jesus says to him, “Truly I say to you that now, this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
Mark 14:31	But he kept saying emphatically, “If it is needful of me to die with You, never will I deny You.” And all of them were saying likewise also.
Mark 14:32	And they come to a place, the name of which [is] Gethsemane; and He says to His disciples, “Sit here until I may pray.”
Mark 14:33	And He takes Peter and James and John with Him, and He began to be greatly awestruck and deeply distressed.
Mark 14:34	And He says to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”
Mark 14:35	And having gone forward a little, He fell upon the ground and was praying that, if it is possible, the hour might pass from Him.
Mark 14:36	And He was saying, “Abba, Father, all things [are] possible to You. Take away this cup from Me. But not what I will, but what You [will].”
Mark 14:37	And He comes and finds them sleeping, and He says to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Were you not able to watch one hour?
Mark 14:38	Watch and pray, so that you⁺ may not enter into temptation. For the spirit [is] willing, but the flesh weak.”
Mark 14:39	And again, having gone away, He prayed, having said the same thing.
Mark 14:40	And again having come, He found them sleeping. For their eyes were heavy, and they did not know what they should answer Him.
Mark 14:41	And He comes the third time and says to them, “Are you⁺ still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour came. Behold, the Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of the sinful.
Mark 14:42	Rise, let us go. Behold, the one betraying Me has drawn near!”
Mark 14:43	And immediately, [in] His still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, comes up, and with Him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Mark 14:44	Now the one delivering Him up had given to them a sign, saying, “Whomever I shall kiss is He; seize Him and lead [Him] away securely.”
Mark 14:45	And having come, immediately having come near to Him, he says, “Rabbi!” And he kissed Him.
Mark 14:46	And they laid the hands on Him and seized Him.
Mark 14:47	And a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Mark 14:48	And Jesus, answering, said to them, “Did you⁺ come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to capture Me?
Mark 14:49	Every day I was with you⁺ in the temple, teaching, and you⁺ did not seize Me. But [it is] so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.”
Mark 14:50	And all, having left Him, fled.
Mark 14:51	And a certain young man was following Him, having cast a linen cloth about [his] naked [body]. And they seize him,
Mark 14:52	and having left behind the linen cloth, he fled naked.
Mark 14:53	And they led away Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes come together.
Mark 14:54	And Peter followed Him from afar off, as far as to within the court of the high priest. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself at the fire.
Mark 14:55	And the chief priests and all the Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they were not finding [it].
Mark 14:56	For many were bearing false testimony against Him, but their testimonies were not alike.
Mark 14:57	And some, having risen up, were bearing false testimony against Him, saying,
Mark 14:58	“We heard Him saying, ‘I will demolish this temple made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands.’”
Mark 14:59	And not even in this matter was their testimony alike.
Mark 14:60	And the high priest, having risen up in the midst, questioned Jesus, saying, “Do You not answer? What do these testify against You?”
Mark 14:61	But He was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him and says to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
Mark 14:62	And Jesus said, “I am. And you⁺ will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
Mark 14:63	And the high priest, having torn his garments, says, “What more need do we have of witnesses?
Mark 14:64	You⁺ heard the blasphemy. What does it appear to you⁺?” And all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
Mark 14:65	And some began to spit upon Him and to cover up His face and to strike Him and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps.
Mark 14:66	And of Peter being below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest comes,
Mark 14:67	and having seen Peter warming himself, having looked at him, she says, “You also were with the Nazarene, Jesus.”
Mark 14:68	But he denied [it], saying, “I neither know nor understand what you say.” And he went forth out into the gateway, and the rooster crowed.
Mark 14:69	And the servant girl, having seen him, began to say again to those standing by, “This is one of them.”
Mark 14:70	But he denied [it] again. And after a little while, again those standing by were saying to Peter, “Truly you are of them, for you also are a Galilean.”
Mark 14:71	But he began to curse and to swear, “I do not know this man of whom you⁺ speak!”
Mark 14:72	And immediately a rooster crowed for the second time. And Peter remembered the word that Jesus said to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And having broken down, he began to weep.
Mark 15:1	And early in the morning, having formed a counsel, the chief priests, with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, having bound Jesus, led [Him] away and delivered [Him] to Pilate.
Mark 15:2	And Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering, He says to him, “You say.”
Mark 15:3	And the chief priests were accusing Him harshly.
Mark 15:4	And Pilate began to question Him again, saying, “Do You not answer? See how many things they are accusing You of!”
Mark 15:5	But Jesus answered no more, so as to amaze Pilate.
Mark 15:6	Now at the feast he would release to them one prisoner whom they requested.
Mark 15:7	And the one called Barabbas was there, having been bound with the rebels who had committed murder in the insurrection.
Mark 15:8	And the crowd, having gone up, began to request [that which] he usually did for them.
Mark 15:9	But Pilate answered them, saying, “Do you⁺ desire [that] I should release to you⁺ the King of the Jews?”
Mark 15:10	For he was aware that the chief priests had delivered Him up because of envy.
Mark 15:11	But the chief priests stirred up the crowd so that he might release to them Barabbas instead.
Mark 15:12	And Pilate, answering, was saying to them again, “Then what do you⁺ desire [that] I should do with the One whom you⁺ call the King of the Jews?”
Mark 15:13	And they cried out again, “Crucify Him!”
Mark 15:14	And Pilate was saying to them, “Why? What evil did He commit?” But they shouted much more, “Crucify Him!”
Mark 15:15	And Pilate, desiring to do that which [was] satisfactory to the crowd, released Barabbas to them. And having flogged [Him], he delivered up Jesus so that He might be crucified.
Mark 15:16	And the soldiers led Him away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium), and they call together the whole cohort.
Mark 15:17	And they put on Him purple, and having twisted together a crown of thorns, they placed [it] on Him.
Mark 15:18	And they began to salute Him: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Mark 15:19	And they kept striking His head with a reed and spitting on Him. And bending the knees, they were kneeling down to Him.
Mark 15:20	And when they had mocked Him, they took off of Him the purple and put on Him His own garments. And they are leading Him out so that they might crucify Him.
Mark 15:21	And they compel one passing by, Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, coming from the country, that he might carry His cross.
Mark 15:22	And they bring Him to a place, Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull.
Mark 15:23	And they were offering Him wine having been mixed with gall, but He did not take [it].
Mark 15:24	And they crucify Him. And they divide His garments, casting a lot for them, who should take what.
Mark 15:25	And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
Mark 15:26	And there was the inscription of the accusation against Him, having been written: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark 15:27	And with Him they crucify two robbers, one at [His] right hand and one at His left.
Mark 15:28	
Mark 15:29	And those passing by were railing at Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! The One demolishing the temple and building [it] in three days,
Mark 15:30	save Yourself, having come down from the cross!”
Mark 15:31	Likewise also the chief priests, with the scribes, mocking among one another, were saying, “He saved others; Himself He is not able to save!
Mark 15:32	The Christ, the King of Israel, let Him come down now from the cross, that we might see and believe!” And those being crucified with Him were upbraiding Him.
Mark 15:33	And the sixth hour having come, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour.
Mark 15:34	And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why did You forsake Me?”
Mark 15:35	And some of those standing by, having heard, were saying, “Behold, He calls Elijah.”
Mark 15:36	And one, having run and having filled a sponge with vinegar, having put [it] on a reed, gave Him to drink, saying, “Let [Him] be; let us see if Elijah comes to take Him down.”
Mark 15:37	But Jesus, having uttered a great cry, breathed His last.
Mark 15:38	And the veil of the temple was torn into two from top to bottom.
Mark 15:39	And the centurion standing opposite of Him, having seen that in this way He breathed His last, said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Mark 15:40	And there were also women looking on from afar off, among whom also [were] Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,
Mark 15:41	who had been following Him and had been ministering to Him when He was in Galilee, and many others, those having come up with Him to Jerusalem.
Mark 15:42	And evening already having come, since it was the Preparation (that is, the day before the Sabbath),
Mark 15:43	having come, Joseph from Arimathea, a prominent Council member who was also himself waiting for the kingdom of God, having boldness, went in to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.
Mark 15:44	And Pilate wondered if already He was dead. And having summoned the centurion, he inquired of him whether He was dead already.
Mark 15:45	And having known from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph.
Mark 15:46	And having bought a linen cloth, having taken Him down, he wrapped [Him] in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb that was cut out of a rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the tomb.
Mark 15:47	And Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of Joses were watching where He was laid.
Mark 16:1	And [on] the Sabbath having passed, Mary Magdalene and Mary the [mother] of James and Salome bought spices so that, having come, they might anoint Him.
Mark 16:2	And very early on the first of the Sabbaths, they come to the tomb [at] the sun having arisen.
Mark 16:3	And they were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone for us out from the door of the tomb?”
Mark 16:4	And having looked up, they see that the stone has been rolled away—for it was exceedingly large.
Mark 16:5	And having entered into the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a white robe sitting on the right, and they were greatly amazed.
Mark 16:6	Now he says to them, “Do not be amazed. You⁺ seek Jesus the Nazarene, the One having been crucified. He is risen! He is not here! Behold the place where they laid Him.
Mark 16:7	But go, say to His disciples and to Peter, ‘He goes before you⁺ into Galilee. There you⁺ will see Him, as He said to you⁺.’”
Mark 16:8	And having gone out, they fled from the tomb, for trembling and amazement had seized them. And they spoke nothing to [anyone], for they were afraid.
Mark 16:9	And having risen early [on] the first of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons.
Mark 16:10	She, having gone, reported to those having been with Him, mourning and weeping.
Mark 16:11	And they, having heard that He is alive and was seen by her, disbelieved.
Mark 16:12	And after these things, He appeared in another form to two of them as they are walking, going into the country.
Mark 16:13	And they, having gone, reported to the rest; neither did they believe them.
Mark 16:14	And afterward, [in] their reclining, He appeared to the Eleven and rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those having seen Him arisen.
Mark 16:15	And He said to them, “Having gone into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation.
Mark 16:16	The one having believed and having been baptized will be saved, but the one having disbelieved will be condemned.
Mark 16:17	And these signs will accompany those having believed: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:18	and with their hands they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it shall never hurt them; they will lay hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”
Mark 16:19	Therefore indeed the Lord Jesus, after speaking to them, was taken up into heaven and sat at the right hand of God.
Mark 16:20	And they, having gone out, preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them] and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.
Luke 1:1	Inasmuch as many took in hand to draw up a narration concerning the things having been fully carried out among us,
Luke 1:2	just as they delivered [them] to us—those from the beginning having been eyewitnesses and servants of the word—
Luke 1:3	it seemed good also to me, having followed closely from the first all things carefully, to write in consecutive order to you, most excellent Theophilus,
Luke 1:4	so that you may know the certainty of the things that you were instructed.
Luke 1:5	There was in the days of Herod king of Judea a certain priest, by name Zechariah, of the division of Abijah, and his wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
Luke 1:6	And they were both righteous before God, going on in all the commandments and righteous requirements of the Lord, blameless.
Luke 1:7	And unto them was no child, as Elizabeth was barren and both were advanced in their days.
Luke 1:8	Now it came to pass in his serving as priest in the order of his division before God,
Luke 1:9	according to the custom of the priesthood, [that] it fell to him by lot to burn incense, having entered into the temple of the Lord.
Luke 1:10	And all the multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of the incense.
Luke 1:11	And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of the incense.
Luke 1:12	And Zechariah was troubled having seen, and fear fell upon him.
Luke 1:13	But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, because your petition was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear to you a son, and you will call his name John.
Luke 1:14	And he will be joy and exultation to you, and many will rejoice at his birth,
Luke 1:15	for he will be great before the Lord. And he shall never drink wine and strong drink, and he will be full of the Holy Spirit even from the womb of his mother.
Luke 1:16	And many of the sons of Israel he will turn to the Lord their God.
Luke 1:17	And he will go on before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
Luke 1:18	And Zechariah said to the angel, “By what will I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in her days.”
Luke 1:19	And answering, the angel said to him, “I am Gabriel, the one standing before God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring these good tidings to you.
Luke 1:20	And behold, you will be silent and not able to speak until that day these things shall take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their season.”
Luke 1:21	And the people were expecting Zechariah, and they were marveling at his delaying in the temple.
Luke 1:22	But having come out, he was not able to speak to them, and they recognized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he was making signs to them and remained mute.
Luke 1:23	And it came to pass, when the days of his service were fulfilled, [that] he went away to his house.
Luke 1:24	And after these days, his wife Elizabeth conceived, and she hid herself five months, saying,
Luke 1:25	“Thus the Lord has done to me, in the days in which He looked upon [me], to take away my reproach among men.”
Luke 1:26	Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee whose name [was] Nazareth,
Luke 1:27	to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name [was] Joseph, of the house of David. And the name of the virgin [was] Mary.
Luke 1:28	And having come in to her, he said, “Greetings, O favored one! The Lord [is] with you.”
Luke 1:29	And she was troubled at the word and was reasoning what kind this greeting might be.
Luke 1:30	And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Luke 1:31	And behold, you will conceive in womb and will give birth to a son, and you will call His name Jesus.
Luke 1:32	He will be great, and He will be called Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David,
Luke 1:33	and He will reign over the house of Jacob to the ages. And of His kingdom there will be no end!”
Luke 1:34	And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I do not know a man?”
Luke 1:35	And answering, the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the Holy One being born will be called Son of God.
Luke 1:36	And behold, Elizabeth your relative, she also has conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who [was] called barren.
Luke 1:37	For not any word will be impossible with God.”
Luke 1:38	And Mary said, “Behold, the Lord’s maidservant. May it happen to me according to your word.” And the angel went away from her.
Luke 1:39	Now Mary, having risen up in these days, went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,
Luke 1:40	and she entered into the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth.
Luke 1:41	And it came to pass, as Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, [that] the baby in her womb leaped, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
Luke 1:42	And she cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!
Luke 1:43	And from where [is] this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke 1:44	For behold, as the voice of your greeting came into my ears, the baby in my womb leaped in exultation.
Luke 1:45	And blessed [is] the one having believed that there will be a completion to the things spoken to her from the Lord.”
Luke 1:46	And Mary said: “My soul magnifies the Lord,
Luke 1:47	and my spirit exulted in God my Savior!
Luke 1:48	For He looked upon the humiliation of His maidservant. For behold, from now on all the generations will call me blessed.
Luke 1:49	For the Mighty One did great things to me, and holy [is] His name.
Luke 1:50	And His mercy [is] to generations and generations, to those fearing Him.
Luke 1:51	He showed strength with His arm; He scattered the proud in the thought of their heart.
Luke 1:52	He brought down rulers from thrones and exalted the humble.
Luke 1:53	[Those] hungering He filled with good things, and [those] being rich He sent away empty.
Luke 1:54	He took hold of Israel His servant, remembering mercy,
Luke 1:55	as He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed to the age.”
Luke 1:56	And Mary remained with her about three months, and she returned to her house.
Luke 1:57	Now to Elizabeth the time was fulfilled for her to give birth, and she bore a son.
Luke 1:58	And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord magnified His mercy with her, and they were rejoicing with her.
Luke 1:59	And it came to pass on the eighth day [that] they came to circumcise the child, and they were calling him after the name of his father Zechariah.
Luke 1:60	And answering, his mother said, “No, but he will be called John.”
Luke 1:61	And they said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name.”
Luke 1:62	And they were making signs to his father—what he might want him to be called.
Luke 1:63	And having asked for a writing tablet, he wrote, saying, “John is his name.” And they all marveled.
Luke 1:64	And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue; and he was speaking, blessing God.
Luke 1:65	And fear came upon all those dwelling around them. And in all the hill country of Judea, all these words were being talked about.
Luke 1:66	And all those having heard laid [them] in their heart, saying, “What then will this child be?” For also the hand of the Lord was with him.
Luke 1:67	And Zechariah his father was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying:
Luke 1:68	“Blessed [be] the Lord, the God of Israel, because He visited and performed redemption for His people,
Luke 1:69	and He raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David,
Luke 1:70	as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from the age,
Luke 1:71	salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all those hating us,
Luke 1:72	to show mercy toward our fathers and to remember His holy covenant,
Luke 1:73	the oath that He swore to Abraham our father, to give us,
Luke 1:74	having been saved from the hand of [our] enemies, to serve Him without fear
Luke 1:75	in holiness and righteousness before Him all our days.
Luke 1:76	And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare His ways,
Luke 1:77	to give knowledge of salvation to His people in forgiveness of their sins,
Luke 1:78	through the affections of mercy of our God, in which the Sunrise will visit us from on high,
Luke 1:79	to shine upon those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, to direct our feet into the way of peace.”
Luke 1:80	And the child continued to grow and to become strong in spirit; and he was in the wilderness until the day of his appearance to Israel.
Luke 2:1	And it came to pass in those days [that] a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the world.
Luke 2:2	This registration first came to pass [in] the governing of Syria of Quirinius.
Luke 2:3	And all were going to be registered, each to his own city.
Luke 2:4	And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the City of David, which is called Bethlehem, because of his being of the house and family of David,
Luke 2:5	to register with Mary, the one betrothed to him, she being pregnant.
Luke 2:6	And it came to pass, in their being there, [that] the days of her giving birth were fulfilled.
Luke 2:7	And she gave birth to her Son, the firstborn, and she wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
Luke 2:8	And there were shepherds in the same region, lodging in the fields and keeping watch by night over their flock.
Luke 2:9	And an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they feared [with] great fear.
Luke 2:10	And the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring good news to you⁺ [of] great joy that will be to all the people.
Luke 2:11	For today in the City of David a Savior was born to you⁺, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:12	And this [is] the sign to you⁺: You⁺ will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:13	And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
Luke 2:14	“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is well pleased!”
Luke 2:15	And it came to pass, as the angels went away from them into heaven, [that] the shepherds were saying to one another, “Let us go through indeed as far as Bethlehem, and let us see this saying that has come to pass, which the Lord made known to us.”
Luke 2:16	And having hurried, they came and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger.
Luke 2:17	And having seen, they made known concerning the saying having been spoken to them concerning this Child.
Luke 2:18	And all those having heard marveled concerning the things having been spoken to them by the shepherds.
Luke 2:19	But Mary was preserving all these matters, pondering in her heart.
Luke 2:20	And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all things that they heard and saw, just as it was said to them.
Luke 2:21	And when eight days to circumcise Him were fulfilled, then His name was called Jesus, which He had been called by the angel before His being conceived in the womb.
Luke 2:22	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
Luke 2:23	(just as it has been written in the Law of the Lord: “Every male opening a womb will be called holy to the Lord”),
Luke 2:24	and to give a sacrifice according to that said in the Law of the Lord: “A pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Luke 2:25	And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name [was] Simeon. And this man [was] righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
Luke 2:26	And it was divinely revealed to him by the Holy Spirit [that] he would not see death before he should see the Christ of the Lord.
Luke 2:27	And he went in the Spirit into the temple. And in the parents bringing in the child Jesus [for] them to do according to that having become customary by the Law concerning Him,
Luke 2:28	then he took Him into the arms and blessed God, and he said:
Luke 2:29	“Now, Lord, You dismiss Your servant in peace, according to Your word.
Luke 2:30	For my eyes saw Your salvation,
Luke 2:31	which You prepared before the face of all the peoples,
Luke 2:32	a light to the uncovering of the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”
Luke 2:33	And His father and mother were marveling at the things having been spoken concerning Him.
Luke 2:34	And Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this [Child] is appointed for the falling and rising up of many in Israel, and for a sign spoken against—
Luke 2:35	and a sword will also pass through your [own] soul—so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
Luke 2:36	And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher; she [was] advanced in many days, having lived with a husband seven years from her virginity,
Luke 2:37	and she [was] a widow until eighty-four years, who did not depart the temple, serving with fastings and petitions night and day.
Luke 2:38	And having come up at that hour, she was giving praise to God and was speaking concerning Him to all those waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.
Luke 2:39	And when they accomplished everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their city, Nazareth.
Luke 2:40	And the Child continued to grow and become strong, being filled with wisdom. And the grace of God was upon Him.
Luke 2:41	And His parents were going every year to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover.
Luke 2:42	And when He was twelve years [old], [on] their having gone up according to the custom of the Feast
Luke 2:43	and having completed the days, in their returning, the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem, and His parents did not know.
Luke 2:44	And having supposed Him to be in their company, they went a day’s journey and began seeking Him among the relatives and the acquaintances.
Luke 2:45	And not having found [Him], they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him.
Luke 2:46	And it came to pass after three days [that] they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both hearing them and questioning them.
Luke 2:47	And all those hearing Him were amazed at His understanding and answers.
Luke 2:48	And having seen Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Child, why did You do thus to us? Behold, Your father and I, being distressed, were seeking You.”
Luke 2:49	And He said to them, “Why [is it] that you⁺ were seeking Me? Did you⁺ not know that it is necessary for Me to be in the [house] of My Father?”
Luke 2:50	And they did not understand the word that He spoke to them.
Luke 2:51	And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He was subject to them. And His mother was keeping all these matters in her heart.
Luke 2:52	And Jesus continued to advance in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.
Luke 3:1	And in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip being tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and of Trachonitis, and Lysanias being tetrarch of Abilene,
Luke 3:2	during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came upon John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.
Luke 3:3	And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance unto forgiveness of sins,
Luke 3:4	as it has been written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: “A voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.
Luke 3:5	Every valley will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be made low; and the crooked will become straight, and the rough ways into smooth.
Luke 3:6	And all flesh will see the salvation of God.”
Luke 3:7	Then he was saying to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, “Offspring of vipers, who warned you⁺ to flee from the coming wrath?
Luke 3:8	Therefore produce fruits worthy of repentance. And do not begin to say in yourselves, ‘We have Abraham [as] father.’ For I say to you⁺ that out of these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
Luke 3:9	And already also the ax is laid to the root of the trees; therefore every tree not producing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire.”
Luke 3:10	And the crowds were questioning him, saying, “What then shall we do?”
Luke 3:11	And answering, he was saying to them, “The one having two tunics, let him impart to the one having none; and the one having food, let him do likewise.”
Luke 3:12	And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”
Luke 3:13	And he said to them, “Exact nothing more than that having been appointed to you⁺.”
Luke 3:14	And those being soldiers were also questioning him, saying, “And what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Extort no one, nor accuse falsely, and be content with your⁺ wages.”
Luke 3:15	And the people are expecting, and all are reasoning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ.
Luke 3:16	John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you⁺ in water, but the One mightier than I comes, of whom I am not sufficient to loose the strap of His sandals. He will baptize you⁺ in the Holy Spirit and fire,
Luke 3:17	whose winnowing fork [is] in His hand to thoroughly cleanse His threshing floor and to gather the wheat into His barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Luke 3:18	Therefore indeed, exhorting many other things, he was proclaiming good news to the people.
Luke 3:19	But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him concerning Herodias the wife of his brother and concerning all the evils that Herod did,
Luke 3:20	also added this to all: He also locked up John in prison.
Luke 3:21	Now it came to pass, in all the people having been baptized and Jesus having been baptized and praying, [that] heaven was opened,
Luke 3:22	and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in a bodily form as a dove. And a voice came out of heaven: “You are My Son, the Beloved; in You I was well pleased.”
Luke 3:23	And Jesus Himself, beginning, was about thirty years [old], being son, as was supposed, of Joseph, of Heli,
Luke 3:24	of Matthat, of Levi, of Melchi, of Jannai, of Joseph,
Luke 3:25	of Mattathias, of Amos, of Nahum, of Esli, of Naggai,
Luke 3:26	of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semein, of Josech, of Joda,
Luke 3:27	of Joannen, of Rhesa, of Zerubbabel, of Shealtiel, of Neri,
Luke 3:28	of Melchi, of Addi, of Cosam, of Elmadam, of Er,
Luke 3:29	of Joshua, of Eliezer, of Jorim, of Matthat, of Levi,
Luke 3:30	of Simeon, of Judah, of Joseph, of Jonam, of Eliakim,
Luke 3:31	of Melea, of Menna, of Mattatha, of Nathan, of David,
Luke 3:32	of Jesse, of Obed, of Boaz, of Sala, of Nahshon,
Luke 3:33	of Amminadab, of Admin, of Arni, of Hezron, of Perez, of Judah,
Luke 3:34	of Jacob, of Isaac, of Abraham, of Terah, of Nahor,
Luke 3:35	of Serug, of Reu, of Peleg, of Eber, of Shelah,
Luke 3:36	of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lamech,
Luke 3:37	of Methuselah, of Enoch, of Jared, of Mahalalel, of Cainan,
Luke 3:38	of Enosh, of Seth, of Adam, of God.
Luke 4:1	And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led in the Spirit in the wilderness,
Luke 4:2	being tempted forty days by the devil. And He ate nothing in those days, and [on] their having ended, He was hungry.
Luke 4:3	And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, speak to this stone, that it might become bread.”
Luke 4:4	And Jesus answered to him, “It has been written: ‘Not on bread alone shall the man live.’”
Luke 4:5	And having led Him up, he showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke 4:6	And the devil said to Him, “I will give to You all this authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I wish.
Luke 4:7	You, therefore, if You worship before me, all will be Yours.”
Luke 4:8	And answering, Jesus said to him, “It has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”
Luke 4:9	And he led Him to Jerusalem and set [Him] on the pinnacle of the temple, and he said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.
Luke 4:10	For it has been written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,
Luke 4:11	and on hands they will lift You up, lest ever You may strike Your foot against a stone.’”
Luke 4:12	And answering, Jesus said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God.’”
Luke 4:13	And the devil, having ended every temptation, departed from Him until an opportune time.
Luke 4:14	And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report went out through all the surrounding region concerning Him.
Luke 4:15	And He was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
Luke 4:16	And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and according to His custom, He entered into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, and He rose up to read.
Luke 4:17	And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to Him, and having unrolled the scroll, He found the place where it was written:
Luke 4:18	“The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon Me, because of which He anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth the oppressed in deliverance,
Luke 4:19	to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
Luke 4:20	And having rolled up the scroll, having given [it] back to the attendant, He sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were looking intently on Him.
Luke 4:21	And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your⁺ ears.”
Luke 4:22	And all were testifying to Him and were marveling at the words of grace that are proceeding out of His mouth. And they were saying, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”
Luke 4:23	And He said to them, “Surely you⁺ will say to Me this parable: ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatsoever we heard was done in Capernaum, do also here in Your hometown.’”
Luke 4:24	And He said, “Truly I say to you⁺ that no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.
Luke 4:25	And in truth I say to you⁺, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came upon all the land.
Luke 4:26	And Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath of the Sidonians, to a woman, a widow.
Luke 4:27	And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed, except Naaman the Syrian.”
Luke 4:28	And all in the synagogue were filled with anger, hearing these things.
Luke 4:29	And having risen up, they cast Him out of the city and led Him unto the brow of the hill upon which their city had been built, so as to throw Him over.
Luke 4:30	But He, having passed through their midst, went away.
Luke 4:31	And He went down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbaths.
Luke 4:32	And they were astonished at His teaching, because His word was with authority.
Luke 4:33	And in the synagogue was a man having a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out in a loud voice,
Luke 4:34	“Ha! What to us and to You, Jesus the Nazarene? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
Luke 4:35	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out from him!” And having thrown him into the midst, the demon came out from him, in nothing having hurt him.
Luke 4:36	And amazement came upon all, and they were speaking together with one another, saying, “What word [is] this, that with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out?”
Luke 4:37	And the report concerning Him was going out into every place of the surrounding region.
Luke 4:38	And having arisen out of the synagogue, He entered into the house of Simon. And Simon’s mother-in-law was oppressed with a great fever, and they asked Him concerning her.
Luke 4:39	And having stood over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately, having arisen, she was serving them.
Luke 4:40	And [at] the setting of the sun, all, as many as had [any] ailing with various diseases, brought them to Him. And He, having laid the hands on each one of them, was healing them.
Luke 4:41	Now demons also were going out from many, crying out and saying, “You are the Son of God!” And rebuking [them], He was not allowing them to speak, because they knew Him to be the Christ.
Luke 4:42	And day having come, having gone out, He went into a solitary place. And the crowds were seeking Him, and they came up to Him and were detaining Him not to go from them.
Luke 4:43	But He said to them, “It is necessary for Me to preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this I was sent.”
Luke 4:44	And He was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
Luke 5:1	Now it came to pass, in the crowd also pressing on Him to hear the word of God, that He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
Luke 5:2	And He saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen, having gone away from them, were washing the nets.
Luke 5:3	And having entered into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, He asked him to put out a little from the land. And having sat down, out of the boat He was teaching the crowds.
Luke 5:4	And when He ceased speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your⁺ nets for a catch.”
Luke 5:5	And answering, Simon said, “Master, having toiled through the whole night, we took nothing. But upon Your word, I will let down the nets.”
Luke 5:6	And having done this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish, and their nets were tearing.
Luke 5:7	And they beckoned to the partners in the other boat, having come, to help them, and they came and filled both boats so that they were sinking.
Luke 5:8	And having seen, Simon Peter fell at the knees of Jesus, saying, “Go out from me, Lord, because I am a sinful man.”
Luke 5:9	For amazement laid hold on him and on all those with him at the catch of the fish that they took,
Luke 5:10	and likewise also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
Luke 5:11	And having brought down the boats upon the land, having left all, they followed Him.
Luke 5:12	And it came to pass, in His being in one of the cities, that behold, a man full of leprosy, and having seen Jesus, having fallen upon [his] face, begged Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You are able to cleanse me.”
Luke 5:13	And having stretched out the hand, He touched him, “saying, I am willing; be cleansed!” And immediately the leprosy went away from him.
Luke 5:14	And He instructed him to tell no one: “But, having gone, show yourself to the priest, and offer concerning your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
Luke 5:15	But the word concerning Him was spreading still more, and many crowds were coming to hear and to be healed from their infirmities.
Luke 5:16	And He Himself was withdrawing into the wilderness and praying.
Luke 5:17	And it came to pass, on one of the days, that He was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting, who were come out of every village of Galilee, and of Judea, and of Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was [there] for Him to heal.
Luke 5:18	And behold, men bringing upon a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and to place him before Him.
Luke 5:19	And not having found what way they might bring him in through the crowd, having gone up on the housetop, they let him down with the little bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.
Luke 5:20	And having seen their faith, He said, “Man, your sins have been forgiven you.”
Luke 5:21	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?”
Luke 5:22	And Jesus, having known their reasonings, answering, said to them, “Why do you⁺ reason in your⁺ hearts?
Luke 5:23	Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’?
Luke 5:24	But so that you⁺ may know that the Son of Man has authority on the earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralyzed one, “I say to you, arise, and having taken up your mat, go to your house.”
Luke 5:25	And immediately, having risen up before them, having taken up [that] on which he was lying, he went away to his house, glorifying God.
Luke 5:26	And amazement took all, and they were glorifying God. And they were filled with fear, saying, “We saw remarkable things today.”
Luke 5:27	And after these things, He went out and saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at the tax booth. And He said to him, “Follow Me.”
Luke 5:28	And having left all, having arisen, he began to follow Him.
Luke 5:29	And Levi made a great banquet for Him in his house, and there was a great crowd of tax collectors and others who were reclining with them.
Luke 5:30	And the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling at His disciples, saying, “Why do you⁺ eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?”
Luke 5:31	And answering, Jesus said to them, “Those being in good health have no need of a physician, but those being ill.
Luke 5:32	I have not come to call righteous ones, but sinners, to repentance.”
Luke 5:33	And they said to Him, “The disciples of John fast often and make petitions; likewise also those of the Pharisees; but Yours⁺ eat and drink.”
Luke 5:34	And Jesus said to them, “Are you⁺ able to make the sons of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?
Luke 5:35	But days will come also when the bridegroom shall have been taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”
Luke 5:36	And He was speaking also a parable to them: “No one having torn a patch from a new garment puts [it] on an old garment. and if otherwise, he will tear the new also, and the old will not match the patch from the new.
Luke 5:37	And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. and if otherwise, the new wine will burst the wineskins, and it will be poured out, and the wineskins will be destroyed.
Luke 5:38	But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.
Luke 5:39	And no one having drunk old [wine] wants new; for he says, ‘The old is good.’”
Luke 6:1	And it came to pass on a Sabbath [that] He is passing through grainfields, and His disciples were plucking and were eating the heads of grain, rubbing [them] in the hands.
Luke 6:2	But some of the Pharisees said, “Why do you⁺ do what is not lawful [on] the Sabbaths?”
Luke 6:3	And answering, Jesus said to them, “Did you⁺ not even read this, what David did when he was hungry—he and those being with him:
Luke 6:4	how he entered into the house of God and, having taken the loaves of the presentation, he ate and gave to those with him—which it is not lawful to eat, except only for the priests?”
Luke 6:5	And He was saying to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Luke 6:6	And it came to pass on another Sabbath [that] He entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
Luke 6:7	And the scribes and the Pharisees were closely watching Him, whether He heals on the Sabbath, so that they might find [reason] to accuse Him.
Luke 6:8	And He had known their reasonings, and He said to the man having the withered hand, “Arise and stand in the midst.” And having risen up, he stood.
Luke 6:9	Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you⁺, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?”
Luke 6:10	And having looked around at them all, He said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And he did, and his hand was restored.
Luke 6:11	And they were filled with madness, and they were discussing with one another what they might do to Jesus.
Luke 6:12	And it came to pass in those days [that] He went out to the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God.
Luke 6:13	And when it became day, He summoned His disciples, also having chosen out from them twelve, whom He also named apostles:
Luke 6:14	Simon, whom He also named Peter, and his brother Andrew, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke 6:15	and Matthew and Thomas, and James [son of] Alphaeus, and Simon called Zealot,
Luke 6:16	and Judas [son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a betrayer.
Luke 6:17	And having come down with them, He stood on a level place, and a great crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon,
Luke 6:18	who came to hear Him and to be healed from their diseases. And those troubled from unclean spirits were healed.
Luke 6:19	And all the crowd was seeking to touch Him, because power was going out from Him and was healing all.
Luke 6:20	And He, having lifted up His eyes to His disciples, was saying: “Blessed [are] the poor, because yours⁺ is the kingdom of God.
Luke 6:21	Blessed [are] those hungering now, because you⁺ will be filled. Blessed [are] those weeping now, because you⁺ will laugh.
Luke 6:22	Blessed are you⁺ when men may hate you⁺, and when they may exclude you⁺ and may reproach [you] and may cast out your⁺ name as evil, on account of the Son of Man.
Luke 6:23	Rejoice in that day and leap, for behold, your⁺ reward [is] great in heaven. For according to the same their fathers were doing to the prophets.
Luke 6:24	But woe to you⁺ who [are] rich, because you⁺ have your⁺ comfort in full.
Luke 6:25	Woe to you⁺ who have been filled now, because you⁺ will hunger. Woe [to] those laughing now, because you⁺ will mourn and weep.
Luke 6:26	Woe when all men may speak well of you⁺, for according to the same their fathers were doing to the false prophets.
Luke 6:27	But to you⁺ who [are] hearing I say: Love your⁺ enemies, do good to those hating you⁺,
Luke 6:28	bless those cursing you⁺, pray for those mistreating you⁺.
Luke 6:29	To the one striking you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from the one taking away your cloak, do not withhold also [your] tunic.
Luke 6:30	To everyone asking you, give, and from the one taking away what [is] yours⁺, do not demand [it] back.
Luke 6:31	And just as you⁺ want that men may do to you⁺, do to them likewise.
Luke 6:32	And if you⁺ love those loving you⁺, what grace is it to you⁺? For even the sinners love those loving them.
Luke 6:33	For even if you⁺ do good to those doing good to you⁺, what grace is it to you⁺? Even the sinners do the same.
Luke 6:34	And if you⁺ lend [to] [those] from whom you⁺ expect to receive back, what grace is it to you⁺? Even sinners lend to sinners, that they might receive back the equivalent.
Luke 6:35	But love your⁺ enemies, and do good, and lend expecting nothing back. And your⁺ reward will be great, and you⁺ will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and evil.
Luke 6:36	Be merciful, as also your⁺ Father is merciful.
Luke 6:37	And do not judge, and you⁺ shall not be judged; and do not condemn, and you⁺ shall not be condemned; release, and you⁺ will be released.
Luke 6:38	Give, and it will be given to you⁺. A good measure, pressed down, shaken, running over, they will give into your⁺ bosom. For with what measure you⁺ measure, it will be measured back to you⁺.”
Luke 6:39	And He also spoke a parable to them: “Is] a blind [man] able to guide a blind [man]? Will they not both fall into a pit?
Luke 6:40	A disciple is not above [his] teacher, but everyone fully trained will be like his teacher.
Luke 6:41	And why do you look at the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother, but not notice the beam that [is] in [your] own eye?
Luke 6:42	How are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit [that] I might cast out the splinter that [is] in your eye,’ yourself not seeing the beam in your eye? Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter that [is] in the eye of your brother.
Luke 6:43	For there is no good tree producing rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree producing good fruit.
Luke 6:44	For each tree is known by [its] own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.
Luke 6:45	The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what [is] good, and the evil out of the evil brings forth what [is] evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
Luke 6:46	And why do you⁺ call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?
Luke 6:47	Everyone who is coming to Me and hearing My words and doing them, I will show you⁺ whom he is like.
Luke 6:48	He is like a man building a house, who dug and deepened and laid a foundation on the rock. And a flood having come, the river burst upon that house, and it was not able to shake it, because it [was] well built.
Luke 6:49	But the one having heard and not having done is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the river burst, and immediately it fell—and the ruin of that house was great!”
Luke 7:1	And when He completed all His words in the hearing of the people, He entered into Capernaum.
Luke 7:2	And a certain servant of a centurion, who was valued highly to him, being ill, was about to die.
Luke 7:3	And having heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, asking Him that, having come, He might save his servant.
Luke 7:4	And having come to Jesus, they were imploring Him earnestly, saying, “He is worthy to whom You will grant this,
Luke 7:5	for he loves our nation, and he built the synagogue for us.”
Luke 7:6	And Jesus was going with them, and now [in] His being not far away from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not fit that You should enter under my roof.
Luke 7:7	Therefore neither did I count myself worthy to come to You. But say a word, and let my servant be healed.
Luke 7:8	For I also am a man appointed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does.”
Luke 7:9	And having heard these things, Jesus marveled at him. And having turned to the crowd following Him, He said, “I say to you⁺, not even in Israel did I find such great faith.”
Luke 7:10	And having returned to the house, those having been sent found the servant in good health.
Luke 7:11	And it came to pass on the next day [that] He went into a city called Nain, and His disciples were going with Him, and a great crowd.
Luke 7:12	And as He drew near to the gate of the city, then, behold, a dead [man] was being carried out, the only begotten son of his mother; and she was a widow. And a large crowd of the city was with her.
Luke 7:13	And having seen her, the Lord was moved with compassion toward her and said to her, “Do not weep.”
Luke 7:14	And having come up, He touched the bier; and those bearing [it] stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise!”
Luke 7:15	And the dead [man] sat up and began to speak, and He gave him to his mother.
Luke 7:16	And fear took all, and they were glorifying God, saying, “A great prophet arose among us!” and, “God visited His people!”
Luke 7:17	And the word of this went forth in all Judea about Him—and in all the surrounding region.
Luke 7:18	And his disciples reported to John about all these things.
Luke 7:19	And having summoned a certain two of his disciples, John sent to the Lord, saying, “Are You the coming One, or do we look for another?”
Luke 7:20	And having come to Him, the men said, “John the Baptist sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the coming One, or do we look for another?’”
Luke 7:21	In that very hour, He healed many of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits, and to many blind He granted to see.
Luke 7:22	And answering, He said to them, “Having gone, report to John what you⁺ saw and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have good news proclaimed.
Luke 7:23	And blessed is the one who shall not be caused to stumble in Me.”
Luke 7:24	And the messengers of John having gone away, He began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you⁺ go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Luke 7:25	But what did you⁺ go out to see? A man arrayed in soft garments? Behold, those in splendid clothing and living in luxury are in the palaces.
Luke 7:26	But what did you⁺ go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you⁺, and more than a prophet.
Luke 7:27	This is he about whom it has been written: ‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.’
Luke 7:28	I say to you⁺, no one among [those] born of women is greater than John; yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
Luke 7:29	And all the people having heard, even the tax collectors, declared God righteous, having been baptized [with] the baptism of John.
Luke 7:30	But the Pharisees and the lawyers set aside the counsel of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
Luke 7:31	“To what, therefore, will I liken the men of this generation? And to what are they like?
Luke 7:32	They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: ‘We played the flute for you⁺, and you⁺ did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you⁺ did not weep.’
Luke 7:33	For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you⁺ say, ‘He has a demon!’
Luke 7:34	The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you⁺ say, ‘Behold, a man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and of sinners!’
Luke 7:35	And wisdom was justified from all her children.”
Luke 7:36	And one of the Pharisees was requesting of Him that He should eat with him, and having entered into the house of the Pharisee, He reclined.
Luke 7:37	And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner. And having known that He is reclining in the house of the Pharisee, having taken an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
Luke 7:38	and having stood behind [Him] at His feet weeping, she began to wet His feet with [her] tears, and she was wiping [them] with the hairs of her head, and she was kissing His feet and was anointing [them] with the fragrant oil.
Luke 7:39	And the Pharisee, the one having called Him, having seen, spoke within himself, saying, “If this [man] were a prophet, He would have known who and what kind the woman [is] who touches Him—because she is a sinner.”
Luke 7:40	And answering, Jesus said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he says, “Teacher, say [it].”
Luke 7:41	“There were two debtors to a certain lender. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
Luke 7:42	Of them having nothing to repay, he forgave both. Therefore which of them will love him more?”
Luke 7:43	Answering, Simon said, “I suppose [he] to whom he forgave the more.” And He said to him, “You judged correctly.”
Luke 7:44	And having turned to the woman, He was saying to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered into your house; you did not give water for My feet, but she herself wet My feet with [her] tears and wiped [them] with her hair.
Luke 7:45	You did not give to Me a kiss, but from which [time] I entered, she herself did not cease kissing My feet.
Luke 7:46	You did not anoint My head with oil, but she herself anointed My feet with fragrant oil.
Luke 7:47	Therefore I say to you this: Her many sins have been forgiven, because she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, he loves little.”
Luke 7:48	And He said to her, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
Luke 7:49	And those reclining with [Him] began to say within themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Luke 7:50	And He said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Luke 8:1	And it came to pass in the thereafter that He was traveling through each city and village preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God, and the Twelve [were] with Him,
Luke 8:2	and certain women who had been healed from evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who is called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
Luke 8:3	and Joanna wife of Chuza, steward of Herod, and Susanna, and many others, who were ministering to them out of their means.
Luke 8:4	And a great crowd assembling and those [from] each town coming to Him, He spoke by a parable:
Luke 8:5	“The one sowing went out to sow his seed. And in his sowing, some indeed fell along the path, and it was trampled upon, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
Luke 8:6	And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it withered because of [it] not having moisture.
Luke 8:7	And other fell in the midst of the thorns, and having sprung up with [it], the thorns choked it.
Luke 8:8	And other fell upon the good soil, and having sprung up, it produced fruit—a hundredfold.” Saying these things, He was calling out, “The one having ears to hear, let him hear.”
Luke 8:9	And His disciples were asking Him, “What may this parable be?”
Luke 8:10	And He said, “To you⁺ it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest, [it is] in parables, so that, ‘Seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
Luke 8:11	And this is the parable: The seed is the word of God.
Luke 8:12	And the ones along the path are those having heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, lest having believed, they should be saved.
Luke 8:13	And the ones upon the rock [are] those who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a time, and in time of testing they fall away.
Luke 8:14	And the [seed] having fallen into the thorns, these are those having heard, and, going along, are choked under the anxieties and riches and pleasures of life, and they do not mature.
Luke 8:15	And the [seed] in the good soil, these are those [who], in a beautiful and good heart, having heard the word, hold [it] fast and bear fruit in perseverance.
Luke 8:16	And no one, having lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts [it] under a bed. But he puts [it] on a lampstand, so that those entering may see the light.
Luke 8:17	For nothing is hidden that will not become manifest, nor hidden away that shall not be known and come to visibility.
Luke 8:18	Therefore look how you⁺ hear; for whoever may have, to him [it] will be given; and whoever may not have, even what he thinks to have will be taken away from him.”
Luke 8:19	Now His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were not able to get to Him because of the crowd.
Luke 8:20	And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see You.”
Luke 8:21	But answering, He said to them, “My mother and My brothers are those who are hearing and doing the word of God.”
Luke 8:22	And it came to pass on one of the days also [that] He and His disciples entered into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us pass over to the other side of the lake.” And they set out.
Luke 8:23	And of their sailing, He fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down to the lake, and they were being swamped and were in danger.
Luke 8:24	And having come, they awoke Him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And having arisen, He rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and it became calm.
Luke 8:25	And He said to them, “Where is your⁺ faith?” And having feared, they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
Luke 8:26	And they sailed down to the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.
Luke 8:27	And [on] His having gone out upon the land, a certain man out of the city met [Him], having demons. And for a long time he was not wearing clothing and was not abiding in a house, but in the tombs.
Luke 8:28	And having seen Jesus, having cried out, he fell down before Him and said in a loud voice, “What [is it] to me and to You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me!”
Luke 8:29	For He commanded the unclean spirit to come out from the man. For many times it had seized him, and he was bound, being kept with chains and shackles. And breaking the bonds, he was driven by the demon into the wilderness.
Luke 8:30	And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” because many demons were entered into him.
Luke 8:31	And they were imploring Him that He would not command them to go away into the Abyss.
Luke 8:32	Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they implored Him that He would allow them to enter into them, and He allowed them.
Luke 8:33	And the demons, having gone out from the man, entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
Luke 8:34	And those feeding, having seen what had happened, fled and reported [it] to the city and to the fields.
Luke 8:35	And they went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons went out sitting, clothed and sound-minded, at the feet of Jesus. And they were afraid.
Luke 8:36	And those having seen related to them how the one having been possessed by demons was saved.
Luke 8:37	And all the multitude of the surrounding region of the Gerasenes asked Him to go away from them, because they were seized with great fear. And He, having entered into the boat, turned back.
Luke 8:38	But the man from whom the demons had gone out was begging Him to be with Him. But He sent him away, saying,
Luke 8:39	“Return to your house and relate how much God did for you.” And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city how much Jesus did for him.
Luke 8:40	And on the return [of] Jesus, the crowd welcomed Him, for they were all looking for Him.
Luke 8:41	And behold, there was a man whose name [was] Jairus, and this [man] was a ruler of the synagogue. And having fallen at the feet of Jesus, he was imploring Him to enter into his house
Luke 8:42	because he had an only daughter, about twelve years [old], and she was dying. And in His going, the crowds were pressing around Him.
Luke 8:43	And a woman being with a flow of blood for twelve years, who, having spent all her living on physicians, was not able to be healed by [any],
Luke 8:44	having come behind, touched the fringe of His garment, and immediately her flow of blood stopped.
Luke 8:45	And Jesus said, “Who [is] the one having touched Me?” But all denying, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround You and press in.”
Luke 8:46	But Jesus said, “Someone touched Me, for I knew power has gone out from Me.”
Luke 8:47	And the woman, having seen that she was not hidden, came trembling. And having fallen down before Him, she declared for what cause she touched Him before all the people, and how she was healed immediately.
Luke 8:48	And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has saved you; go in peace.”
Luke 8:49	of Him still speaking, someone comes from the synagogue ruler, saying, “Your daughter has died; trouble the Teacher no longer.”
Luke 8:50	But Jesus, having heard, answered him, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be saved.”
Luke 8:51	And having come into the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him except Peter and John and James, and the father and the mother of the child.
Luke 8:52	And all were weeping and mourning for her. But He said, “Do not weep; for she did not die, but sleeps.”
Luke 8:53	And they were laughing at Him, knowing that she died.
Luke 8:54	And He, having taken hold of her hand, called out, saying, “Child, arise!”
Luke 8:55	And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately; and He directed there be given to her to eat.
Luke 8:56	And her parents were amazed, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened.
Luke 9:1	And having called together the Twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all the demons, and to heal diseases,
Luke 9:2	and He sent them forth to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Luke 9:3	And He said to them, “Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor two tunics apiece to have.
Luke 9:4	And into whatever house you⁺ may enter, remain there and go out from there.
Luke 9:5	And as many as may not receive you⁺, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your⁺ feet for a testimony against them.”
Luke 9:6	And going out, they were passing through the villages, proclaiming the gospel and healing everywhere.
Luke 9:7	Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all the things happening, and he was perplexed because it was said by some that John was risen out from the dead,
Luke 9:8	and by some that Elijah appeared, and by others that a prophet of the ancients was risen.
Luke 9:9	And Herod said, “John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?” And he was seeking to see Him.
Luke 9:10	And having returned, the apostles related to Him how much they had done. And having taken them, He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida.
Luke 9:11	But the crowds, having known [it], followed Him; and having received them, He was speaking to them concerning the kingdom of God, and He was healing those having need of healing.
Luke 9:12	And the day began to decline, and having come, the Twelve said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd so that, having gone to the surrounding villages and fields, they might lodge and might find provisions; for we are in a wilderness place here.”
Luke 9:13	But He said to them, “You⁺ give to them to eat.” But they said, “There are unto us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless, having gone, we should buy food for all this people.”
Luke 9:14	For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty.”
Luke 9:15	And they did so and made all sit down.
Luke 9:16	And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke them, and He was giving [them] to the disciples to set before the crowd.
Luke 9:17	And they all ate and were satisfied; and that having superabounded to them was taken up, twelve hand-baskets of fragments.
Luke 9:18	And it came to pass as He is praying alone [that] the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the crowds say I am?”
Luke 9:19	And answering, they said, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, that a prophet, one of the ancients, was risen.”
Luke 9:20	And He said to them, “But you⁺, who do you⁺ say I am?” And answering, Peter said, “The Christ of God.”
Luke 9:21	And having warned them, He instructed [them] to say this to no one,
Luke 9:22	having said, “It is necessary for 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 on the third day to be raised.”
Luke 9:23	And He was saying to all, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross every day and follow Me.
Luke 9:24	For whoever may want to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life on account of Me, he will save it.
Luke 9:25	For what is a man profited, having gained the whole world, and having destroyed or having suffered the loss of himself?
Luke 9:26	For whoever may be ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He shall come in His glory and [that] of the Father and of the holy angels.
Luke 9:27	And I say to you⁺, truly, there are some of those standing here who shall not taste of death until they shall see the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:28	And it came to pass about eight days after these words, and having taken with [Him] Peter and John and James, [that] He went up onto the mountain to pray.
Luke 9:29	And it came to pass in His praying [that] the appearance of His face [was] different and His clothing white, flashing forth.
Luke 9:30	And behold, two men were talking with Him, who were Moses and Elijah,
Luke 9:31	who, having appeared in glory, were speaking of His departure, which He was about to fulfill in Jerusalem.
Luke 9:32	And Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and having awoken fully, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.
Luke 9:33	And it came to pass in their departing from Him [that] Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles—one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he is saying.
Luke 9:34	And [in] his saying these things, there was a cloud, and it was overshadowing them; and they feared in their entering into the cloud.
Luke 9:35	And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, whom I have chosen; listen to Him!”
Luke 9:36	And on the voice having come, Jesus was found alone. And they were silent, and they reported to no one in those days anything of what they have seen.
Luke 9:37	And it came to pass the next day, [on] their having come down from the mountain, [that] a great crowd met Him.
Luke 9:38	And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I implore You to look upon my son, because he is the only begotten unto me.
Luke 9:39	And behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it throws him into convulsions with foaming, and with difficulty it departs from him, crushing him.
Luke 9:40	And I begged Your disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.”
Luke 9:41	And answering, Jesus said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation, until when will I be with you⁺ and bear with you⁺? Bring your son here.”
Luke 9:42	And [in] his still coming near, the demon threw him down and threw [him] into convulsions. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and He healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
Luke 9:43	And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But [of] all wondering at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,
Luke 9:44	“You⁺ let these words sink into your⁺ ears; for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
Luke 9:45	But they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, so that they should not understand it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.
Luke 9:46	And a reasoning entered among them, who might be the greater of them.
Luke 9:47	But Jesus, having known the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a little child, set him beside Himself,
Luke 9:48	and He said to them, “Whoever shall receive this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever shall receive Me receives the One having sent Me. For the one being least among you⁺ all, he is great.”
Luke 9:49	And answering, John said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we were forbidding him because he does not follow with us.”
Luke 9:50	And Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid [it]; for whoever is not against you⁺ is for you⁺.”
Luke 9:51	And it came to pass in the completing of the days of His being taken up that He steadfastly set the face to go to Jerusalem.
Luke 9:52	And He sent messengers before His face, and having gone, they entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for Him.
Luke 9:53	And they did not receive Him, because His face was going to Jerusalem.
Luke 9:54	And having seen [it], the disciples James and John said, “Lord, do You want [that] we should call fire to come down from heaven and to consume them?”
Luke 9:55	But having turned, He rebuked them,
Luke 9:56	and they went to another village.
Luke 9:57	And [in] their going along the road, someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You may go.”
Luke 9:58	And Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere He might lay the head.”
Luke 9:59	And He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, allow me first, having gone away, to bury my father.”
Luke 9:60	But He said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but you, having gone away, declare the kingdom of God.”
Luke 9:61	And yet another said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first allow me to bid farewell to those at my home.”
Luke 9:62	But Jesus said to him, “No one having laid the hand upon the plow and looking to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God.”
Luke 10:1	Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy-two others and sent them in two [by] two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.
Luke 10:2	And He was saying to them, “The harvest indeed [is] much, but the workers few. Therefore implore the Lord of the harvest that He might put forth workers into His harvest.
Luke 10:3	Go! Behold, I send you⁺ forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.
Luke 10:4	Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and greet no one on the road.
Luke 10:5	And into whatever house you⁺ might enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’
Luke 10:6	And if a son of peace is there, your⁺ peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you⁺.
Luke 10:7	And remain in the same house, eating and drinking the things unto them; for the worker [is] worthy of his wages. Do not move from house to house.
Luke 10:8	And into whatever city you⁺ may enter and they may receive you⁺, eat the things set before you⁺.
Luke 10:9	And heal the ailing in it, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has drawn near to you⁺.’
Luke 10:10	But into whatever city you⁺ might enter and they may not receive you⁺, having gone out into its streets, say,
Luke 10:11	‘Even the dust of your⁺ city having clung to our feet we wipe off against you⁺; yet know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn near.’
Luke 10:12	I say to you⁺ that for Sodom in that day it will be more bearable than for that city.
Luke 10:13	Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles having happened in you⁺ had happened in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luke 10:14	But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you⁺.
Luke 10:15	And you, Capernaum, to heaven will you be lifted up? To Hades you will be brought down!
Luke 10:16	The one hearing you⁺ hears Me, and the one setting you⁺ aside sets Me aside, and the one setting Me aside sets aside the One having sent Me.”
Luke 10:17	And the seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”
Luke 10:18	And He said to them, “I was beholding Satan having fallen like lightning out of heaven.
Luke 10:19	Behold, I have given you⁺ the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and on all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you⁺.
Luke 10:20	But do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you⁺; but rejoice that your⁺ names have been written in the heavens.”
Luke 10:21	In the same hour, He exulted in the Holy Spirit and said, “I acknowledge You, Father, Lord of heaven and of the earth, because You hid away these things from the wise and intelligent, and You revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, because of thus it was good pleasure before You.
Luke 10:22	All things were delivered to Me by My Father. And no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and the one to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].”
Luke 10:23	And having turned to the disciples, He said in private, “Blessed [are] the eyes seeing what you⁺ see.
Luke 10:24	For I say to you⁺ that many prophets and kings desired to see what you⁺ see and did not see, and to hear what you⁺ hear and did not hear.”
Luke 10:25	And behold, a certain lawyer rose up, testing Him, saying, “Teacher, having done what, will I inherit eternal life?”
Luke 10:26	And He said to him, “What has been written in the Law? How do you read [it]?”
Luke 10:27	And answering, he said, “‘You will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’”
Luke 10:28	And He said to him, “You answered correctly. Do this and you will live.”
Luke 10:29	But wanting to justify himself, he said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”
Luke 10:30	And Jesus, having taken it up, said, “A certain man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among robbers who, having both stripped him and having inflicted wounds, went away, having left [him] half dead.
Luke 10:31	Now by chance a certain priest was going down on that road, and having seen him, he passed by on the opposite side.
Luke 10:32	And likewise also a Levite, having come to the place and having seen, passed by on the opposite side.
Luke 10:33	But a certain Samaritan, journeying, came to him, and having seen, he was moved with compassion;
Luke 10:34	and having come, he bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and having put him on his own beast, he brought him to an inn and took care of him.
Luke 10:35	And on the next day, having taken out two denarii, he gave [them] to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you might expend, I, in my returning, will repay you.’
Luke 10:36	Which of these three seems to you to have been a neighbor of the one having fallen among the robbers?”
Luke 10:37	And he said, “The one having done the mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go, and you do likewise.”
Luke 10:38	Now in their going, He entered into a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha received Him into [her] house.
Luke 10:39	And she had a sister called Mary, who also, having sat down at the feet of the Lord, was hearing His word.
Luke 10:40	But Martha was distracted about much service; and having stood, she said, “Lord, is it not concerning to You that my sister left me alone to serve? Therefore speak to her so that she might help me!”
Luke 10:41	And answering, the Lord said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things;
Luke 10:42	but little is necessary, or one thing; for Mary chose the good portion, which will not be taken away from her.”
Luke 11:1	And it came to pass in His being in a certain place praying, [that] when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
Luke 11:2	And He said to them, “When you⁺ pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
Luke 11:3	Give us each day our necessary bread.
Luke 11:4	And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
Luke 11:5	And He said to them, “Who of you⁺ will have a friend and will go to him at midnight and would say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
Luke 11:6	since a friend of mine came to me from a journey, and I have nothing that I will set before him.’?
Luke 11:7	And he, answering from within, may say, ‘Do not cause me trouble; already the door has been shut, and my children are with me in the bed. I am not able, having risen up, to give to you.’
Luke 11:8	I say to you⁺, even if he will not give to him, having risen up because of being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as much as he needs.
Luke 11:9	And I say to you⁺: Ask, and it will be given to you⁺; seek, and you⁺ will find; knock, and it will be opened to you⁺.
Luke 11:10	For everyone asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking, it will be opened.
Luke 11:11	And which father of you⁺, [if] the son will ask for a fish, instead of even a fish, will give to him a serpent?
Luke 11:12	Or also, [if] he will ask for an egg, will give to him a scorpion?
Luke 11:13	Therefore if you⁺, being evil, know to give good gifts to your⁺ children, how much more will the Father who [is] from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
Luke 11:14	And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; and it came to pass, [on] the demon having gone out, [that] the mute [man] spoke. And the crowds marveled.
Luke 11:15	And some of them said, “By Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons, He casts out the demons.”
Luke 11:16	And others, testing, were seeking from Him a sign out of heaven.
Luke 11:17	But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house against a house falls.
Luke 11:18	And if Satan also was divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you⁺ say I cast out the demons by Beelzebul.
Luke 11:19	And if I cast out the demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your⁺ sons cast [them] out? Because of this, they will be your⁺ judges.
Luke 11:20	But if I cast out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you⁺.
Luke 11:21	When the strong [man], being armed, might guard his house, his possessions are in peace.
Luke 11:22	But when one stronger than he, having come upon [him], might overcome him, he takes away his full armor in which he had trusted, and he divides his plunder.
Luke 11:23	The one not being with Me is against Me, and the one not gathering with Me scatters.
Luke 11:24	When the unclean spirit may go out from the man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest. And not finding [it], then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came out.’
Luke 11:25	And having come, it finds [it] swept and put in order.
Luke 11:26	Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there; and the last of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Luke 11:27	And it came to pass, in His saying these things, [that] a certain woman out of the crowd, having lifted up [her] voice, said to Him, “Blessed [is] the womb having borne You and the breasts at which You nursed!”
Luke 11:28	But He said, “Rather, blessed [are] those hearing the word of God and keeping [it].”
Luke 11:29	Now the crowds being pressed around together, He began to say, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
Luke 11:30	For just as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation.
Luke 11:31	The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, One greater than Solomon [is] here.
Luke 11:32	The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, One greater than Jonah [is] here.
Luke 11:33	No one having lit a lamp puts [it] in secret, nor under the basket, but on the lampstand, so that those entering may see the light.
Luke 11:34	The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye may be sound, also your whole body is full of light; but when it may be evil, your body [is] also full of darkness.
Luke 11:35	Take heed, therefore, [that] the light that [is] in you is not darkness.
Luke 11:36	If, therefore, your whole body [is] full of light, not having any part full of darkness, the whole will be full of light, as when the lamp shining may shine on you.”
Luke 11:37	And in [His] speaking, a Pharisee asked Him that He might dine with him. And having entered, He reclined.
Luke 11:38	But the Pharisee, having seen, marveled that He did not wash first before the dinner.
Luke 11:39	But the Lord said to him, “Now you⁺, the Pharisees, you⁺ cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but your⁺ inside is full of plundering and of wickedness.
Luke 11:40	Fools! [Did] not the One having made the outside also make the inside?
Luke 11:41	But give [as] alms the things being within, and behold, all things are clean for you⁺.
Luke 11:42	But woe to you⁺, the Pharisees, because you⁺ pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb, and you⁺ pass by the judgment and the love of God. But it was necessary to do these things, and those not to neglect.
Luke 11:43	Woe to you⁺, the Pharisees, because you⁺ love the first seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Luke 11:44	Woe to you⁺, because you⁺ are like unmarked tombs, and the men walking above do not know.”
Luke 11:45	But answering, one of the lawyers says to Him, “Teacher, saying these things, You insult us also.”
Luke 11:46	But He said, “Woe also to you⁺, the lawyers, because you⁺ burden men [with] burdens hard to bear, and you⁺ yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your⁺ fingers.
Luke 11:47	Woe to you⁺, because you⁺ build the tombs of the prophets, but your⁺ fathers killed them.
Luke 11:48	So you⁺ are witnesses and consent to the works of your⁺ fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you⁺ build the tombs.
Luke 11:49	Because of this also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’
Luke 11:50	so that the blood of all the prophets poured out from the foundation of the world might be required from this generation,
Luke 11:51	from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the one having perished between the altar and the house. Yes, I say to you⁺, it will be required from this generation.
Luke 11:52	Woe to you⁺, the lawyers, because you⁺ took away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter, and you⁺ hindered those entering.”
Luke 11:53	[On] His having gone out from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began terribly to press upon [Him] and to make Him speak about many things,
Luke 11:54	lying in wait to catch Him in something out of His mouth.
Luke 12:1	In these [times], the myriads of the crowd having been gathered together so as to trample upon one another, He began to say to His disciples first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke 12:2	And nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Luke 12:3	Instead, whatever you⁺ said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you⁺ spoke to the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke 12:4	And I say to you⁺, My friends, you⁺ should not be afraid of those killing the body and after these things not having anything more to do.
Luke 12:5	But I will show you⁺ whom you⁺ should fear: Fear the One having authority, after the killing, to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I say to you⁺, fear Him!
Luke 12:6	Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
Luke 12:7	But even the hairs of your⁺ head have all been numbered. Do not be afraid; you⁺ are more valuable than many sparrows.
Luke 12:8	And I say to you⁺, everyone who will confess in Me before men, the Son of Man also will confess in him before the angels of God.
Luke 12:9	But the one having denied Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 12:10	And everyone who will speak a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but the one having blasphemed to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
Luke 12:11	And when they bring you⁺ in before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious about how or what you⁺ may reply in defense, or what you⁺ may say.
Luke 12:12	For the Holy Spirit will teach you⁺ in the same hour what it is necessary to say.”
Luke 12:13	And one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
Luke 12:14	And He said to him, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or divider over you⁺?”
Luke 12:15	And He said to them, “Beware, and keep yourselves from all covetousness, because not to anyone is his life in the abundance of that which he possesses.”
Luke 12:16	And He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Luke 12:17	And he was reasoning within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store up my fruits?’
Luke 12:18	And he said, ‘This I will do: I will tear down my barns and will build larger ones, and I will gather there all my grain and goods.
Luke 12:19	And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your rest, eat, drink, be merry.”’
Luke 12:20	And God said to him, ‘Fool! This night, your soul is required of you; but what you prepared—to whom will [it] be?’
Luke 12:21	So [is] the one treasuring up for himself and not being rich toward God.”
Luke 12:22	And He said to His disciples, “Because of this I say to you⁺, do not be anxious for life, what you⁺ may eat, nor for your⁺ body, what you⁺ might put on.
Luke 12:23	For life is more than food, and the body than clothing.
Luke 12:24	Consider the ravens, that they do not sow nor reap; unto them there is not a storehouse nor a barn—and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you⁺ than the birds!
Luke 12:25	And who of you⁺, being anxious, is able to add to his lifespan a cubit?
Luke 12:26	If, then, you⁺ are not even able [to do] the least, why are you⁺ anxious about the rest?
Luke 12:27	Consider the lilies, how they grow: They do not labor, nor do they spin. Yet I say to you⁺, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these.
Luke 12:28	But if God thus clothes the grass in the field, being [here] today and tomorrow being thrown into the furnace, how much more you⁺, O little of faith!
Luke 12:29	And you⁺, do not seek what you⁺ might eat and what you⁺ might drink, and do not be in suspense;
Luke 12:30	for all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your⁺ Father knows that you⁺ have need of these.
Luke 12:31	But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added to you⁺.
Luke 12:32	Do not fear, little flock, because your⁺ Father was well pleased to give you⁺ the kingdom.
Luke 12:33	Sell your⁺ possessions and give alms; make for yourselves purses not growing old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where thief does not draw near, nor does moth destroy.
Luke 12:34	For where your⁺ treasure is, there also your⁺ heart will be.
Luke 12:35	Let your⁺ loins be girded around and the lamps burning,
Luke 12:36	and you⁺ [be] like men waiting for their master when he shall return from the wedding feasts, that, having come and having knocked, immediately they might open to him.
Luke 12:37	Blessed [are] those servants whom, having come, the master will find watching. Truly I say to you⁺ that he will gird himself and will make them recline, and having come up, will serve them.
Luke 12:38	And if he should come in the second, and if in the third watch, and he finds thus, blessed are those.
Luke 12:39	But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief comes, he would not have permitted his house to be broken into.
Luke 12:40	And you⁺, be ready, because the Son of Man comes in that hour you⁺ do not think.”
Luke 12:41	And Peter said, “Lord, do You say this parable to us, or also to all?”
Luke 12:42	And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful, wise manager, whom the master will set over the care of his, to give in season the grain measure?
Luke 12:43	Blessed [is] that servant whom his master, having come, will find doing so.
Luke 12:44	Truly I say to you⁺ that he will set him over all his possessions.
Luke 12:45	But if that servant should say in his heart, ‘My master delays to come,’ and should begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to get drunk,
Luke 12:46	the master of that servant will come in a day that he does not expect and in an hour that he does not know, and he will cut him in two and will appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
Luke 12:47	Now that servant, the one having known the will of his master and not having prepared nor having done according to his will, he will be beaten with many.
Luke 12:48	But the one not having known but having done [things] worthy of stripes will be beaten with few. And of everyone to whom much was given, much will be required; and from him to whom much was committed, more will they ask of him.
Luke 12:49	I came to cast fire upon the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
Luke 12:50	But I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and how distressed I am until it should be accomplished!
Luke 12:51	Do you⁺ think that I came to grant peace on the earth? No, I say to you⁺, but rather division.
Luke 12:52	For from now there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three.
Luke 12:53	They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against the daughter and daughter against the mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law.”
Luke 12:54	And He was also saying to the crowds, “When you⁺ see the cloud rising up in the west, immediately you⁺ say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.
Luke 12:55	And when a south wind is blowing, you⁺ say, ‘There will be heat,’ and it happens.
Luke 12:56	Hypocrites! The face of the earth and of the sky you⁺ know to discern, but how do you⁺ not know to discern this time?
Luke 12:57	And why do you⁺ not even judge for yourselves what [is] right?
Luke 12:58	For as you are going with your adversary before a ruler, give effort to be set free from him in the way, lest ever he should drag you away to the judge, and the judge will deliver you to the officer, and the officer will cast you into prison.
Luke 12:59	I say to you, you shall never come out from there until you should pay back even the last lepton.”
Luke 13:1	Now at the same time, some were present, reporting to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices.
Luke 13:2	And answering, He said to them, “Do you⁺ think that these Galileans were sinners beyond all the Galileans, because they have suffered these things?
Luke 13:3	No, I say to you⁺; but unless you⁺ repent, you⁺ will all likewise perish.
Luke 13:4	Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell, and it killed them: Do you⁺ think that these were debtors beyond all the men dwelling in Jerusalem?
Luke 13:5	No, I say to you⁺; but unless you⁺ repent, you⁺ will all likewise perish.”
Luke 13:6	And He was speaking this parable: “A certain [man] had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and he did not find [any].
Luke 13:7	And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Behold, for these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and do not find [it]. Therefore cut it down! Why does it also render the soil useless?’
Luke 13:8	And answering, he says to him, ‘Sir, leave it this year also, until I may dig around it and put [in] manure,
Luke 13:9	and if indeed it should make fruit in the [time], so be it. But if not, you will cut it down.’”
Luke 13:10	And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbaths.
Luke 13:11	And behold, a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bent over and not able to lift herself up to the full.
Luke 13:12	And having seen her, Jesus called [her] near and said to her, “Woman, you have been freed from your infirmity.”
Luke 13:13	And He laid the hands on her, and immediately she was set upright and was glorifying God.
Luke 13:14	And answering, the synagogue ruler, indignant because Jesus healed on the Sabbath, was saying to the crowd, “There are six days in which it is necessary to work. Therefore, coming, be healed in these, and not on the day of the Sabbath.”
Luke 13:15	But the Lord answered him and said, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you⁺ loose his ox or donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and having led [it] away, give [to it] to drink?
Luke 13:16	And this one, being a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound, behold, eighteen years, was it not necessary for [her] to be loosed from this bond on the day of the Sabbath?”
Luke 13:17	And [on] His saying these things, all those opposed to Him were ashamed; and all the crowd was rejoicing at all the glorious things that were being done by Him.
Luke 13:18	And He was saying, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what will I liken it?
Luke 13:19	It is like a grain of mustard that a man, having taken, cast into his garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the sky lodged in its branches.”
Luke 13:20	And again, He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luke 13:21	It is like leaven that a woman, having taken [it], hid in three measures of flour, until it all was leavened.”
Luke 13:22	And He was going through by towns and villages, teaching and making progress toward Jerusalem.
Luke 13:23	And someone said to Him, “Lord, [are] those being saved few?” And He said to them,
Luke 13:24	“Strive to enter through the narrow door, because many, I say to you⁺, will seek to enter and will not be able.
Luke 13:25	From that [time] the master of the house shall have risen up and shall have shut the door, then you⁺ shall begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And answering, he will say to you⁺, ‘I do not know from where you⁺ are.’
Luke 13:26	Then you⁺ will begin to say, ‘We ate in your presence, and we drank, and you taught in our streets.’
Luke 13:27	And he will say, ‘[I am] saying to you⁺, I do not know from where you⁺ are; depart from me, all [you⁺] workers of unrighteousness.’
Luke 13:28	There will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth when you⁺ shall see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you⁺ are being cast outside.
Luke 13:29	And they will come from east and west and from north and south and will recline in the kingdom of God.
Luke 13:30	And behold, there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last.”
Luke 13:31	In the same hour, some Pharisees came near, saying to Him, “Go out and proceed from here, because Herod wants to kill You.”
Luke 13:32	And He said to them, “Having gone, say to this fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and I complete cures today and tomorrow, and the third [day], I am accomplished.’
Luke 13:33	But it is necessary for Me to proceed today and tomorrow and the following [day], because it is not permissible [for] a prophet to perish outside of Jerusalem.
Luke 13:34	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those sent to her, how often I willed to gather your children, the way that a hen [does] her brood under the wings, and you⁺ were not willing.
Luke 13:35	Behold, your⁺ house is left to you⁺. And I say to you⁺, you⁺ shall not see Me until [it] will come when you⁺ say, ‘Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord.’”
Luke 14:1	And it came to pass, in His going into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching Him.
Luke 14:2	And behold, there was a certain man with dropsy before Him.
Luke 14:3	And answering, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
Luke 14:4	But they were silent. And having taken hold [of him], He healed him and let [him] go.
Luke 14:5	And He said to them, “Which of you⁺ [whose] son or ox will fall into a well will not also immediately pull him up on the day of the Sabbath?”
Luke 14:6	And they were not able to reply to these things.
Luke 14:7	And He was speaking a parable to those invited, remarking how they were choosing out the first places, saying to them,
Luke 14:8	“When you are invited by anyone to the wedding feasts, do not recline in the first place, lest ever one more honorable than you may have been invited by him.
Luke 14:9	And the one having invited you and him, having come, will say to you, ‘Give to this one the place,’ and then you should begin with shame to take the last place.
Luke 14:10	But when you are invited, having gone, recline in the last place, so that when the one having invited you might come, he will say to you, ‘Friend, come up higher.’ Then glory will be to you before all those reclining [with] you.
Luke 14:11	For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, and the one humbling himself will be exalted.”
Luke 14:12	And also He was saying to the one having invited Him, “When you may make a dinner or a supper, do not call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives nor rich neighbors, lest ever they should also invite you in return, and repayment be made to you.
Luke 14:13	But when you may make a feast, call the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,
Luke 14:14	and you will be blessed, because they have nothing to repay you. For it will be repaid to you in the resurrection of the righteous.”
Luke 14:15	And one of those reclining with [Him], having heard these things, said to Him, “Blessed [is] anyone who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”
Luke 14:16	But He said to him, “A certain man was preparing a great supper, and he called many.
Luke 14:17	And he sent his servant at the hour of the supper to say to those having been called, ‘Come, because now [it] is ready.’
Luke 14:18	And all with one [voice] began to excuse themselves. The first said to him, ‘I bought a field, and I have need [of] going out to see it. I ask you, have me excused.’
Luke 14:19	And another said, ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I request of you, have me excused.’
Luke 14:20	And another said, ‘I married a wife, and because of this I am not able to come.’
Luke 14:21	And having come, the servant reported these things to his master. Then, having become angry, the master of the house said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’
Luke 14:22	And the servant said, ‘Lord, what you commanded has been done, and there is still room.’
Luke 14:23	And the master said to the servant, ‘Go out into the roads and hedges and compel [them] to enter, so that my house may be filled.
Luke 14:24	For I say to you⁺ that not one of those men having been called will taste my supper.’”
Luke 14:25	And great crowds were going with Him, and having turned, He said to them,
Luke 14:26	“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and yes, even his life, he is not able to be My disciple.
Luke 14:27	Whoever does not carry his cross and come after Me is not able to be My disciple.
Luke 14:28	For which of you⁺, wanting to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the cost, whether he has the [things] for [its] completion,
Luke 14:29	lest ever, [of him] having laid its foundation and not being able to finish, all seeing [it] may begin to mock him,
Luke 14:30	saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’?
Luke 14:31	Or what king proceeding to engage with another king in war will not, having sat down, first take counsel, whether he is able with ten thousand to meet the one coming against him with twenty thousand?
Luke 14:32	And if not, [in] his being still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks for peace.
Luke 14:33	So therefore, every one of you⁺ who does not take leave of all that he himself possesses is not able to be My disciple.
Luke 14:34	Therefore the salt [is] good, but if even the salt should become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
Luke 14:35	It is fit neither for soil nor for manure; they cast it out. The one having ears to hear, let him hear.”
Luke 15:1	Now all the tax collectors and the sinners were drawing near to Him to hear Him.
Luke 15:2	And both the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling, saying, “This [man] receives sinners and eats with them.”
Luke 15:3	And He spoke to them this parable, saying,
Luke 15:4	“What man of you⁺, having a hundred sheep and having lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until he should find it?
Luke 15:5	And having found [it], he lays [it] on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke 15:6	And having come to the house, he calls together the friends and the neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I found my sheep, the lost one!’
Luke 15:7	I say to you⁺ that thus there will be joy in heaven over one sinner repenting, rather than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance.
Luke 15:8	Or what woman having ten drachmas, if she should lose one drachma, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek carefully until she should find it?
Luke 15:9	And having found [it], she calls together the friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I found the drachma that I lost.’
Luke 15:10	Thus, I say to you⁺, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner repenting.”
Luke 15:11	And He said, “A certain man had two sons.
Luke 15:12	And the younger of them said to the father, ‘Father, give to me the portion of the substance falling [to me].’ And he divided the livelihood between them.
Luke 15:13	And after not many days, the younger son, having gathered together all, went away into a far country, and there he scattered his substance living prodigally.
Luke 15:14	But [on] his having spent all, there was a strong famine throughout that country, and he began to lack.
Luke 15:15	And having gone, he joined himself to one of the citizens of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
Luke 15:16	And he was desiring to fill his belly from the pods that the pigs were eating, and no one was giving to him.
Luke 15:17	But having come to himself, he was saying, ‘How many hired men of my father have an abundance of loaves, but here I am perishing with hunger?
Luke 15:18	Having risen up, I will go to my father and I will say to him, “Father, I sinned against heaven and before you;
Luke 15:19	no longer am I worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired men.”’
Luke 15:20	And having risen up, he went to his father. But [on] his still being distant, his father saw him and was moved with compassion, and having run, he fell upon his neck and kissed him.
Luke 15:21	And the son said to him, ‘Father, I sinned against heaven and before you; no longer am I worthy to be called your son.’
Luke 15:22	And the father said to his servants, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and clothe him, and give a ring for his hand and sandals for his feet;
Luke 15:23	and having brought the fattened calf, kill [it], and having eaten, let us be merry,
Luke 15:24	because this son of mine was dead and lived again! He was lost and was found!’ And they began to be merry.
Luke 15:25	And his elder son was in the field; and as, coming, he drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
Luke 15:26	And having summoned one of the servants, he was inquiring what these things might be.
Luke 15:27	And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father killed the fattened calf, because he received him back in good health.’
Luke 15:28	But he was angry and was not willing to go in. And his father, having gone, was imploring him.
Luke 15:29	But answering, he said to his father, ‘Behold, so many years I serve you, and never did I transgress a commandment of yours, and never did you give to me a young goat so that I might be merry with my friends.
Luke 15:30	But when this son of yours came, the one having devoured your living with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!’
Luke 15:31	And he said to him, ‘Child, you are always with me, and all that [is] mine is yours⁺.
Luke 15:32	But it was fitting to be merry and to rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and lived again; and he was lost and was found.’”
Luke 16:1	Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, and this one was accused to him as wasting his possessions.
Luke 16:2	And having called him, he said to him, ‘What [is] this I hear about you? Give the account of your management, for you are not able to manage any longer.’
Luke 16:3	And the manager said in himself, ‘What shall I do, because my master is taking away the management from me? I have no strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg.
Luke 16:4	I have known what I shall do, so that when I shall have been removed from the management, they might receive me into their houses.’
Luke 16:5	And having summoned each one of the debtors of his master, he was saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my master?’
Luke 16:6	And he said, ‘A hundred baths of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and having sat down quickly, write fifty.’
Luke 16:7	Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He says to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
Luke 16:8	And the master praised the unrighteous manager because he acted shrewdly, because the sons of this age are more shrewd than the sons of the light in their own generation.
Luke 16:9	And I say to you⁺, make friends for yourselves by the mammon of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they might receive you⁺ into the eternal dwellings.
Luke 16:10	The one faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and the one unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.
Luke 16:11	If, therefore, you⁺ were not faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will entrust to you⁺ the true?
Luke 16:12	And if you⁺ were not faithful in that which [is] of another, who will give to you⁺ that which [is] your own?
Luke 16:13	No servant is able to serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and he will love the other, or he will hold to the one and he will despise the other. You⁺ are not able to serve God and mammon.”
Luke 16:14	Now the Pharisees, being lovers of money, were hearing all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
Luke 16:15	And He said to them, “You⁺ are the ones justifying themselves before men, but God knows your⁺ hearts, because that which [is] high among men [is] an abomination before God.
Luke 16:16	The Law and the Prophets [were] until John. From then, the kingdom of God is proclaimed [as] good news, and everyone presses into it.
Luke 16:17	But it is easier for the heaven and the earth to pass away than one stroke of a letter of the Law to fall.
Luke 16:18	Everyone sending away his wife and marrying another commits adultery. And the one marrying her sent away from a husband, he commits adultery.
Luke 16:19	And there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, being merry in splendor every day.
Luke 16:20	And a certain poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, being full of sores
Luke 16:21	and desiring to be fed from that falling from the table of the rich man; but even the dogs, coming, were licking his sores.
Luke 16:22	And it came to pass [that] the poor man died, and he was carried away by the angels into the bosom of Abraham. And the rich man also died and was buried.
Luke 16:23	And in Hades, having lifted up his eyes, being in torment, he sees Abraham from afar and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke 16:24	And having cried out, he said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus so that he might dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am suffering in this flame.’
Luke 16:25	But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you fully received your good [things] in your life, and Lazarus likewise the evil [things]. But now he is comforted here, and you are suffering.
Luke 16:26	And besides all these things, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you⁺, so that those desiring to go over from here to you⁺ are not able, nor may they cross over from there to us.’
Luke 16:27	And he said, ‘Then I ask you, father, that you might send him to the house of my father—
Luke 16:28	for I have five brothers—that he might warn them so that they might not also come to this place of torment.’
Luke 16:29	But Abraham says, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
Luke 16:30	But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one from the dead should go to them, they will repent.’
Luke 16:31	But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, not even will they be persuaded if one should rise out from the dead.’”
Luke 17:1	And He said to His disciples, “It is impossible for the stumbling blocks not to come, but woe [to him] through whom they come!
Luke 17:2	It is better for him if a millstone is put around his neck and he is thrown into the sea than that he might cause to stumble one of these little ones.
Luke 17:3	Take heed to yourselves: If your brother should sin, rebuke him; and if he should repent, forgive him.
Luke 17:4	And if he should sin against you seven times in the day, and seven times he should return to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you will forgive him.”
Luke 17:5	And the apostles said to the Lord, “Add to our faith!”
Luke 17:6	And the Lord said, “If you⁺ have faith as a grain of mustard, you⁺ would have said to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would have obeyed you⁺.
Luke 17:7	And which of you⁺ having a servant plowing or shepherding, the one having come in out of the field, will say to him, ‘Having come, immediately recline’?
Luke 17:8	But will he not say to him, ‘Prepare what I may eat, and having girded yourself about, serve me while I eat and drink; and after these things you will eat and drink’?
Luke 17:9	Does he have favor to the servant because he did the [things] having been directed?
Luke 17:10	Thus also you⁺, when you⁺ may have done all the [things] having been directed you⁺, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have done that which we were obligated to do.’”
Luke 17:11	And it came to pass, in [His] going to Jerusalem, that He was passing through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Luke 17:12	And [on] His entering into a certain village, ten leprous men met Him, who stood afar off.
Luke 17:13	And they lifted up [their] voice, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”
Luke 17:14	And having seen, He said to them, “Having gone, show yourselves to the priests.” And it came to pass, in their going, [that] they were cleansed.
Luke 17:15	And one of them, having seen that he was healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice,
Luke 17:16	and he fell on [his] face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan.
Luke 17:17	And having answered, Jesus said, “Were not the ten cleansed? But where [are] the nine?
Luke 17:18	Was there found none having returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”
Luke 17:19	And He said to him, “Having risen up, go; your faith has saved you!”
Luke 17:20	And having been questioned by the Pharisees [as to] when the kingdom of God is coming, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation,
Luke 17:21	nor will they say, ‘Behold, here,’ or, ‘There.’ For behold, the kingdom of God is in your⁺ midst.”
Luke 17:22	And He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you⁺ will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you⁺ will not see [it].
Luke 17:23	And they will say to you⁺, ‘Behold, there,’ or, ‘Behold, here.’ you⁺ should not go away, nor should you⁺ pursue.
Luke 17:24	For just as the lightning shines, flashing from the [one end] of the sky to the [other end] of the sky, so will be the Son of Man in His day.
Luke 17:25	But first it is necessary for Him to suffer many things and to be rejected by this generation.
Luke 17:26	And just as it came to pass in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man:
Luke 17:27	They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until that day Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.
Luke 17:28	Likewise, just 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,
Luke 17:29	and in that day Lot went out from Sodom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed all.
Luke 17:30	According to the same [things] it will be in that day the Son of Man is revealed.
Luke 17:31	In that day, the one [who] will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not come down to take them away; and likewise the one in the field, let him not return to the [things] behind.
Luke 17:32	Remember the wife of Lot!
Luke 17:33	Whoever may seek to keep his life will lose it; but whoever may lose [it] will preserve it.
Luke 17:34	I say to you⁺, in that night there will be two upon one bed: The one will be taken, and the other will be left.
Luke 17:35	There will be two [women] grinding at the same [place]: The one will be taken, and the other will be left.”
Luke 17:36	
Luke 17:37	And answering, they say to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Where the body [is], there also the vultures will be gathered together.”
Luke 18:1	And He was speaking a parable to them that it is necessary for them always to pray and not to grow fainthearted,
Luke 18:2	saying, “There was a certain judge in a certain city, not fearing God and not respecting man.
Luke 18:3	And there was a widow in that city, and she was coming to him, saying, ‘Avenge me from my adversary.’
Luke 18:4	And he was not willing for a time, but after these things he said in himself, ‘Even if I do not fear God nor respect man,
Luke 18:5	yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, so that coming until the end, she does not exhaust me.’”
Luke 18:6	And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
Luke 18:7	And shall not God execute the avenging of His chosen—the ones crying out to Him day and night—and be deferring in regard to them?
Luke 18:8	I say to you⁺ that He will execute their avenging in quickness. Nevertheless, the Son of Man having come, will He find the faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:9	And He also spoke this parable to some trusting in themselves that they are righteous, and despising others:
Luke 18:10	“Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Luke 18:11	The Pharisee, having stood, was praying toward himself thus: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the rest of the men—swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
Luke 18:12	I fast twice in the week; I tithe all things, as many as I gain.’
Luke 18:13	But the tax collector, standing afar off, was not even willing to lift up the eyes to heaven, but was striking his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
Luke 18:14	I say to you⁺, this one went down to his house justified, rather than that one. For everyone exalting himself will be humbled, but the one humbling himself will be exalted.”
Luke 18:15	And they were bringing the infants also to Him so that He might touch them; but having seen, the disciples were rebuking them.
Luke 18:16	But Jesus summoned them, saying, “Permit the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of the such is the kingdom of God.
Luke 18:17	Truly I say to you⁺, whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall never enter into it.”
Luke 18:18	And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Teacher, having done what will I inherit eternal life?”
Luke 18:19	But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one [is] good except One—God.
Luke 18:20	You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, honor your father and mother.’”
Luke 18:21	And he said, “All these I kept from my youth.”
Luke 18:22	And having heard, Jesus said to him, “Still one thing to you is lacking: Sell all, as much as you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in the heavens; and come, follow Me.”
Luke 18:23	But having heard these things, he became very sorrowful; for he was exceedingly rich.
Luke 18:24	And Jesus, having seen him, having become sorrowful, said, “How difficultly those having riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Luke 18:25	For it is easier [for] a camel to enter through the eye of a needle than [for] a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Luke 18:26	And those having heard said, “And who is able to be saved?”
Luke 18:27	And He said, “The things impossible with men are possible with God.”
Luke 18:28	And Peter said, “Behold, we, having left [our] own, followed You.”
Luke 18:29	And He said to them, “Truly I say to you⁺ that there is no one who left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
Luke 18:30	who shall not receive back manifold more in this time, and in the age that is coming, eternal life.”
Luke 18:31	And having taken aside the Twelve, He said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things having been written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished.
Luke 18:32	For He will be betrayed to the Gentiles and will be mocked and will be insulted and will be spit upon.
Luke 18:33	And having flogged [Him], they will kill Him; and on the third day He will rise again.”
Luke 18:34	And they understood none of these things, and this saying was hidden from them, and they did not know the things being spoken.
Luke 18:35	And it came to pass, in His drawing near to Jericho, [that] a certain blind [man] was sitting beside the road, begging.
Luke 18:36	And having heard a crowd going by, he was asking what this might be.
Luke 18:37	And they told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”
Luke 18:38	And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Luke 18:39	And those going before were rebuking him, that he should be silent. But much more he was crying out, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
Luke 18:40	And having stood, Jesus commanded him to be brought to Him. And [on] his having drawn near, He questioned him,
Luke 18:41	“What do you desire [that] I may do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive sight.”
Luke 18:42	And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight! Your faith has saved you.”
Luke 18:43	And immediately he received his sight, and he was following Him, glorifying God. And all the people, having seen [it], gave praise to God.
Luke 19:1	And having entered, He was passing through Jericho.
Luke 19:2	And behold, a man called by the name Zacchaeus, and he was a chief tax collector, and he [was] rich.
Luke 19:3	And he was seeking to see Jesus, who He is. And he was not able on account of the crowd, because he was small in stature.
Luke 19:4	And having run ahead to the front, he went up on a sycamore-fig tree so that he might see Him, for He was about to pass through that [way].
Luke 19:5	And as He came upon the place, having looked up, Jesus said to him, “Zacchaeus, having hurried, come down, for it is necessary for Me to stay in your house today.”
Luke 19:6	And having hurried, he came down and received Him, rejoicing.
Luke 19:7	And having seen [it], they were all grumbling, saying, “He entered to lodge with a sinful man.”
Luke 19:8	But having stood, Zacchaeus said to the Lord, “Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I give to the poor; and if I defrauded anything of anyone, I repay [it] fourfold.”
Luke 19:9	And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation came to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
Luke 19:10	For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Luke 19:11	Now [in] their hearing these things, having proceeded, He spoke a parable because of His being near Jerusalem and their thinking that the kingdom of God is about to appear immediately.
Luke 19:12	Therefore He said, “A certain man of noble birth went to a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return.
Luke 19:13	And having called ten of his servants, he gave to them ten minas and said to them, ‘Do business until I come.’
Luke 19:14	But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We are not willing [for] this [man] to reign over us.’
Luke 19:15	And it came to pass on his returning, having received the kingdom, that he directed these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, so that he might know what each had gained by doing business.
Luke 19:16	And the first came up, saying, ‘Lord, your mina produced ten minas.’
Luke 19:17	And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you were faithful in very little, be having authority over ten cities.’
Luke 19:18	And the second came, saying, ‘Your mina, master, made five minas.’
Luke 19:19	And he said also to this one, ‘And you, be over five cities.’
Luke 19:20	And the other came, saying, ‘Master, behold your mina, which I had lying away in a soudario.
Luke 19:21	For I was afraid of you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow.’
Luke 19:22	He says to him, ‘Out of your mouth I will judge you, evil servant. You knew that I am a harsh man, taking up what I did not lay down and reaping what I did not sow?
Luke 19:23	And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, might have collected it with interest?’
Luke 19:24	And to those standing by he said, ‘Take from him the mina and give [it] to the one having the ten minas.’
Luke 19:25	And they said to him, ‘Lord, he has ten minas!’
Luke 19:26	I say to you⁺ that to everyone having, it will be given; but from the one not having, even that which he has will be taken away.
Luke 19:27	However, these enemies of mine, those not having been willing [for] me to reign over them, bring [them] here and slay them before me.’”
Luke 19:28	And having said these things, He was going on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.
Luke 19:29	And it came to pass as He drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, toward the mount called Olivet, [that] He sent two of the disciples,
Luke 19:30	saying, “Go into the village ahead, in which, entering, you⁺ will find a colt tied, on which no one of men ever sat; and having loosed it, bring [it].
Luke 19:31	And if anyone may ask you⁺, ‘Why are you⁺ loosing [it]?’ thus you⁺ will say, ‘Because the Lord has need of it.’”
Luke 19:32	And having gone away, those sent found [it] just as He said to them.
Luke 19:33	And [on] their loosing the colt, its masters said to them, “Why are you⁺ loosing the colt?”
Luke 19:34	And they said, “The Lord has need of it.”
Luke 19:35	And they led it to Jesus, and having cast their garments on the colt, they put Jesus on [it].
Luke 19:36	And [in] His going, they were spreading their garments in the road.
Luke 19:37	And [in] His drawing near, already at the descent of the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples, rejoicing, began to praise God in a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen,
Luke 19:38	saying: “Blessed is the coming King in the name of the Lord!” “Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
Luke 19:39	And some of the Pharisees from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!”
Luke 19:40	And answering, He said, “I say to you⁺ that if these will be silent, the stones will cry out.”
Luke 19:41	And as He drew near, having seen the city, He wept over it,
Luke 19:42	saying, “If you knew in this day, even you, the things for peace! But now they were hidden from your eyes.
Luke 19:43	For the days will come upon you, and your enemies will cast around you a barricade, and they will surround you and will hem you in on every side.
Luke 19:44	And they will level you to the ground, and your children in you, and they will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not know the season of your visitation.”
Luke 19:45	And having entered into the temple, He began to cast out those selling,
Luke 19:46	saying to them, “It has been written: ‘And My house will be a house of prayer.’ But you⁺ made it ‘a den of robbers.’”
Luke 19:47	And He was teaching every day in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the foremost of the people were seeking to destroy Him.
Luke 19:48	And they were not finding what they might do; for all the people were hanging on Him, hearing.
Luke 20:1	And it came to pass on one of the days, [in] His teaching the people in the temple and proclaiming the gospel, [that] the chief priests and the scribes came up with the elders,
Luke 20:2	and they spoke to Him, saying, “Tell us by what authority You do these things, or who is the one having given You this authority?”
Luke 20:3	And answering, He said to them, “I also will ask you⁺ a word, and you⁺ tell Me:
Luke 20:4	The baptism of John—was it from heaven or from men?”
Luke 20:5	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we should say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why did you⁺ not believe him?’
Luke 20:6	But if we should say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded [that] John is a prophet.”
Luke 20:7	And they answered [that] they did not know from where.
Luke 20:8	And Jesus said to them, “Neither do I tell you⁺ by what authority I do these things.”
Luke 20:9	And He began to speak to the people this parable: “A certain man planted a vineyard, and he rented it out to farmers and traveled abroad a long time.
Luke 20:10	And [in] the season, he sent a servant to the farmers, so that they will give to him from the fruit of the vineyard. But the farmers sent him away empty-handed, having beaten [him].
Luke 20:11	And he proceeded to send another servant, but having beaten and having dishonored that one also, they sent [him] away empty-handed.
Luke 20:12	And he proceeded to send a third, and having wounded this one also, they cast [him] out.
Luke 20:13	Then the lord of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved son; perhaps they will respect him.’
Luke 20:14	But having seen him, the farmers were reasoning with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him, so that the inheritance might become ours.’
Luke 20:15	And having cast him out of the vineyard, they killed [him]. What, therefore, will the lord of the vineyard do to them?
Luke 20:16	He will come and will destroy these farmers, and will give the vineyard to others.” And having heard, they said, “Never may it be!”
Luke 20:17	But having looked at them, He said, “What then is this that has been written: ‘The stone that those building rejected, this became the head of the corner’?
Luke 20:18	Everyone having fallen on that stone will be broken; but on whomever it might fall, it will grind him into powder.”
Luke 20:19	And the scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on Him in that hour, and they feared the people. For they knew that He spoke this parable against them.
Luke 20:20	And having closely watched, they sent spies feigning themselves to be righteous, so that they might catch [Him] in His word, so as to deliver Him to the rule and to the authority of the governor.
Luke 20:21	And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, we know that You speak and teach rightly and do not receive [any] person, but teach the way of God on the basis of truth.
Luke 20:22	Is it lawful for us to give tax to Caesar or not?”
Luke 20:23	But having perceived their craftiness, He said to them,
Luke 20:24	“Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?” And they said, “Caesar’s.”
Luke 20:25	And He said to them, “Therefore give back the things of Caesar to Caesar, and the things of God to God.”
Luke 20:26	And they were not able to catch [Him] in His saying before the people. And having marveled at His answer, they were silent.
Luke 20:27	And some of the Sadducees, the ones denying there is a resurrection, having come, questioned Him,
Luke 20:28	saying, “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [that] if anyone’s brother should die having a wife, and he should be childless, that his brother should take the wife and should raise up seed for his brother.
Luke 20:29	Therefore there were seven brothers. And the first, having taken a wife, died childless;
Luke 20:30	and the second
Luke 20:31	and the third took her; and likewise also the seven did not leave behind children and died.
Luke 20:32	Finally the woman also died.
Luke 20:33	Therefore, in the resurrection, the woman, of which of them does she become wife? For the seven had her [as] wife.”
Luke 20:34	And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage.
Luke 20:35	But those having been considered worthy to obtain that which [is] to the age and the resurrection that [is] out from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Luke 20:36	For neither are they able to die anymore, for they are like angels, and they are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Luke 20:37	But that the dead are raised even Moses showed at the bush, as he calls the Lord ‘the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.’
Luke 20:38	Now He is not the God of the dead but of the living, for all live to Him.”
Luke 20:39	And answering, some of the scribes said, “Teacher, You spoke well!”
Luke 20:40	For no longer did they dare to question Him anything.
Luke 20:41	And He said to them, “How do they say the Christ is Son of David?
Luke 20:42	For David himself says in the book of Psalms: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
Luke 20:43	until I place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet.”’
Luke 20:44	David therefore calls Him ‘Lord,’ and how is He his son?”
Luke 20:45	And all the people hearing, He said to His disciples,
Luke 20:46	“Beware of the scribes, who [are] wanting to walk in long robes, and loving greetings in the marketplaces and first seats in the synagogues and first places at the suppers,
Luke 20:47	who devour the houses of widows and pray at great length as a pretext. These will receive more abundant judgment.”
Luke 21:1	And having looked up, He saw the ones casting their gifts into the treasury—the rich.
Luke 21:2	And He saw a certain poor widow casting there two lepta.
Luke 21:3	“And He said, “Truly I say to you⁺ that this poor widow cast in more than all.
Luke 21:4	For these all cast in the gifts out of that which is abounding to them, but she out of her lack cast in all the livelihood that she had.”
Luke 21:5	And some speaking about the temple, that it was adorned with goodly stones and consecrated gifts, He said,
Luke 21:6	“These things that you⁺ are beholding, the days will come in which not a stone will be left upon a stone that will not be thrown down.”
Luke 21:7	And they questioned Him, saying, “Teacher, when, then, will these things be, and what [is] the sign when these things are about to happen?”
Luke 21:8	And He said, “Take heed, lest you⁺ be led astray; for many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am [He],’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Do not go after them.
Luke 21:9	And when you⁺ may hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for it is necessary for these things to happen first, but the end [is] not immediately.”
Luke 21:10	Then He was saying to them, “Nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Luke 21:11	There will be also great earthquakes and famines and pestilences in various places. There will also be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.
Luke 21:12	But before all these things, they will lay their hands upon you⁺ and will persecute [you], delivering [you] up to the synagogues and prisons, leading [you] away before kings and governors on account of My name.
Luke 21:13	It will result to you⁺ for a testimony.
Luke 21:14	Settle, therefore, in your⁺ hearts not to premeditate to make a defense.
Luke 21:15	For I will give you⁺ a mouth and wisdom, which all those opposing you⁺ will neither be able to resist nor contradict.
Luke 21:16	And you⁺ will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put to death some of you⁺.
Luke 21:17	And you⁺ will be hated by all because of My name.
Luke 21:18	And no, not a hair of your⁺ head shall perish.
Luke 21:19	By your⁺ perseverance you⁺ will gain your⁺ souls.
Luke 21:20	But when you⁺ shall see Jerusalem being encircled by encampments, then know that her desolation has drawn near.
Luke 21:21	Then those in Judea, let them flee to the mountains; and those in her midst, let them depart; and those in the country, let them not enter into her.
Luke 21:22	For these are the days of avenging, to fulfill all things having been written.
Luke 21:23	Woe to those having in womb and to those nursing in those days! For there will be great distress upon the land and wrath to this people.
Luke 21:24	And they will fall by the mouth of the sword and will be led captive into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the nations until the times of the nations are fulfilled.
Luke 21:25	And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations with perplexity [at] the roaring of the sea and the rolling surge—
Luke 21:26	men fainting from fear and expectation of the [things] coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Luke 21:27	And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke 21:28	And these things beginning to come to pass, look up and lift up your⁺ heads, because your⁺ redemption draws near.”
Luke 21:29	And He spoke to them a parable: “Behold the fig tree and all the trees.
Luke 21:30	When they already may cast forth, looking for yourselves you⁺ know that already the summer is near.
Luke 21:31	So also you⁺, when you⁺ see these things coming to pass, know that the kingdom of God is near.
Luke 21:32	Truly I say to you⁺ that this generation shall not pass away until all shall come to pass.
Luke 21:33	The heaven and the earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Luke 21:34	And take heed to yourselves, lest your⁺ hearts ever be burdened with dissipation and drunkenness and the cares of life—and that day would come upon you⁺ suddenly as a snare.
Luke 21:35	For it will come upon all those sitting upon the face of all the earth.
Luke 21:36	But stay awake in every season, praying that you⁺ may have strength to escape all these things that are about to come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
Luke 21:37	And during the day He was teaching in the temple, and [in] the evening, going out, He was lodging on the mount called Olivet.
Luke 21:38	And all the people were coming early to Him in the temple to hear Him.
Luke 22:1	And the Feast of the Unleavened, called the Passover, was drawing near.
Luke 22:2	And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death, for they were afraid of the people.
Luke 22:3	And Satan entered into Judas, the one being called Iscariot, being of the number of the Twelve.
Luke 22:4	And having gone away, he discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him to them.
Luke 22:5	And they rejoiced and agreed to give him money.
Luke 22:6	And he promised, and began seeking opportunity to betray Him to them apart from a crowd.
Luke 22:7	And the day of the Unleavened came, on which it was necessary for the Passover to be sacrificed.
Luke 22:8	And He sent Peter and John, having said, “Having gone, prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”
Luke 22:9	And they said to Him, “Where do You want [that] we should prepare?”
Luke 22:10	And He said to them, “Behold, of you⁺ having entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you⁺. Follow him into the house into which he enters,
Luke 22:11	and you⁺ will say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
Luke 22:12	And he will show you⁺ a large furnished upper room. Make preparations there.”
Luke 22:13	And having gone, they found [it] as He had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
Luke 22:14	And when the hour was come, He reclined, and the apostles with Him.
Luke 22:15	And He said to them, “With desire I desired to eat this Passover with you⁺ before I suffer.
Luke 22:16	For I say to you⁺ that no longer will I eat thereof until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”
Luke 22:17	And having received a cup, having given thanks, He said, “Take this and divide [it] among yourselves.
Luke 22:18	For I say to you⁺ that I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now until the kingdom of God shall come.”
Luke 22:19	And having taken the bread, having given thanks, He broke [it] and gave to them, saying, “This is My body, which is given for you⁺; do this in remembrance of Me,”
Luke 22:20	and the cup likewise, after the supping, saying, “This cup [is] the new covenant in My blood, which is being poured out for you⁺.
Luke 22:21	But, behold, the hand of him betraying Me [is] with Me on the table.
Luke 22:22	For indeed, the Son of Man goes according to that having been determined. But woe to that man by whom He is betrayed.”
Luke 22:23	And they began to question among themselves who then it might be of them who is about to do this.
Luke 22:24	And there was also a dispute among them [as to] which of them is thought to be the greatest.
Luke 22:25	And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles rule over them, and those exercising authority over them are called benefactors.
Luke 22:26	But you⁺ [shall] not [be] thus. Rather, the greatest among you⁺, let him be as the younger, and the one leading as the one serving.
Luke 22:27	For who [is] greater, the one reclining or the one serving? [Is it] not the one reclining? But I am in your⁺ midst as the One serving.
Luke 22:28	Now you⁺ are those having remained with Me in My trials.
Luke 22:29	And I appoint to you⁺ a kingdom, as My Father appointed to Me,
Luke 22:30	so that you⁺ may eat and may drink at My table in My kingdom, and may sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luke 22:31	Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked for all of you⁺ to sift like wheat.
Luke 22:32	But I begged for you, that your faith may not fail. And you, when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
Luke 22:33	And he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death.”
Luke 22:34	But He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you shall deny three times knowing Me.”
Luke 22:35	And He said to them, “When I sent you⁺ without purse and bag and sandals, did you⁺ lack anything?” And they said, “Nothing.”
Luke 22:36	And He said to them, “But now, the one having a purse, let him take [it], and likewise a bag; and the one having no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.
Luke 22:37	For I say to you⁺ that this which has been written, it is necessary to be accomplished in Me: ‘And He was reckoned with the lawless.’ For also the things concerning Me have an end.”
Luke 22:38	And they said, “Lord, behold, here [are] two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
Luke 22:39	And having gone out, He went according to the custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.
Luke 22:40	And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.”
Luke 22:41	And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and having fallen on the knees, He was praying,
Luke 22:42	saying, “Father, if You are willing, take away this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours, be done.”
Luke 22:43	And an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
Luke 22:44	And having been in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like large drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
Luke 22:45	And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief.
Luke 22:46	And He said to them, “Why are you⁺ sleeping? Having risen up, pray that you⁺ might not enter into temptation.”
Luke 22:47	[In] His still speaking, behold, a crowd, and he who is called Judas, one of the Twelve, was going before them, and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.
Luke 22:48	And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
Luke 22:49	And those around Him, having seen what would be, said, “Lord, will we strike with the sword?”
Luke 22:50	And a certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
Luke 22:51	But Jesus, answering, said, “Permit [only] as far as” this! And having touched the ear, He healed him.
Luke 22:52	And Jesus said to those having come out against Him, the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, “Have you⁺ come out with swords and clubs as against a robber?
Luke 22:53	Every day of My being with you⁺ in the temple, you⁺ did not stretch out the hands against Me; but this is your⁺ hour, and [that of] the power of the darkness.”
Luke 22:54	And having seized Him, they led [Him] away and led [Him] into the house of the high priest. And Peter was following afar off.
Luke 22:55	And [on] their having kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and having sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.
Luke 22:56	And a certain servant girl, having seen him sitting by the light and having looked intently on him, said, “This one also was with Him.”
Luke 22:57	But he denied [it], saying, “Woman, I do not know Him.”
Luke 22:58	And after a little, having seen him, another was saying, “You also are of them.” But Peter was saying, “Man, I am not.”
Luke 22:59	And about one hour having elapsed, a certain other strongly affirmed [it], saying, “Of a truth, this one also was with Him; for he is also a Galilean.”
Luke 22:60	But Peter said, “Man, I do not know what you say.” And immediately [in] his still speaking, a rooster crowed.
Luke 22:61	And having turned, the Lord looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times.”
Luke 22:62	And having gone forth outside, he wept bitterly.
Luke 22:63	And the men who are holding Him began mocking Him, beating [Him].
Luke 22:64	And having blindfolded Him, they were questioning [Him], saying, “Prophesy, who is the one having struck You?”
Luke 22:65	And they were saying many other things to Him, blaspheming.
Luke 22:66	And when it was day, the elderhood of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him into their Council, saying,
Luke 22:67	“If You are the Christ, tell us.” But He said to them, “If I should tell you⁺, you⁺ would not believe,
Luke 22:68	and if I should ask [you], you⁺ would not answer.
Luke 22:69	But from now on the Son of Man will be sitting at the right hand of the power of God.”
Luke 22:70	And they all said, “Are You then the Son of God?” And He was saying to them, “You⁺ say that I am.”
Luke 22:71	And they said, “What need do we have of any more testimony? For we ourselves heard [it] from His mouth.”
Luke 23:1	And having risen up, all the multitude of them led Him to Pilate.
Luke 23:2	And they began to accuse Him, saying, “We found this [man] misleading our nation and forbidding taxes to be given to Caesar, and declaring Himself to be Christ, a King.”
Luke 23:3	And Pilate questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And answering him, He was saying, “You say.”
Luke 23:4	And Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds, “I find no guilt in this man.”
Luke 23:5	But they kept insisting, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all of Judea, and He has begun from Galilee even to here.”
Luke 23:6	And Pilate, having heard, asked whether the man is a Galilean.
Luke 23:7	And having learned that He is from the jurisdiction of Herod, he sent Him up to Herod, he himself being also in Jerusalem in those days.
Luke 23:8	And Herod, having seen Jesus, was exceedingly glad; for of a long time he is wanting to see Him, because of hearing concerning Him; and he was hoping to see some sign done by Him.
Luke 23:9	And he kept questioning Him in many words, but He answered him nothing.
Luke 23:10	And the chief priests and the scribes had been standing by, vehemently accusing Him.
Luke 23:11	And Herod, with his troops, having treated Him with contempt and also having mocked [Him], having put on [Him] splendid apparel, sent Him back to Pilate.
Luke 23:12	And both Herod and Pilate became friends with one another on that day; for previously they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke 23:13	And Pilate, having called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Luke 23:14	said to them, “You⁺ brought to me this man as one misleading the people; and behold, having examined [Him] before you⁺, I found nothing in this man guilty of that accusation you⁺ are bringing against Him—
Luke 23:15	no, nor even Herod, for he sent Him back to us. And behold, nothing worthy of death is done by Him.
Luke 23:16	Therefore, having chastised Him, I will release [Him].”
Luke 23:17	
Luke 23:18	But they cried out all together, saying, “Away with this [man], and release to us Barabbas,”
Luke 23:19	who was one having been cast into the prison on account of a certain insurrection having been made in the city, and murder.
Luke 23:20	Therefore Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, called to them again.
Luke 23:21	But they were crying out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify Him!”
Luke 23:22	And he said to them a third [time], “What evil indeed did this [man] commit? I found no cause of death in Him. Therefore having chastised Him, I will release [Him].”
Luke 23:23	But they were urgent, asking with loud voices for Him to be crucified. And their voices were prevailing.
Luke 23:24	And Pilate sentenced their demand to be done.
Luke 23:25	And he released the one having been cast into prison on account of insurrection and murder, whom they had asked for; and Jesus he delivered up to their will.
Luke 23:26	And as they led Him away, having laid hold on Simon, a certain [man] of Cyrene coming from the country, they put upon him the cross, to carry [it] behind Jesus.
Luke 23:27	And a great multitude of the people were following Him, and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him.
Luke 23:28	But having turned to them, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your⁺ children.
Luke 23:29	For behold, the days are coming in which they will say, ‘Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never did bear, and the breasts that never nursed!’
Luke 23:30	Then ‘they will begin to say to the mountains, “Fall upon us,” and to the hills, “Cover us.”’
Luke 23:31	For if they do these things in the green tree, what might happen in the dry?”
Luke 23:32	And two other criminals also were being led away to be put to death with Him.
Luke 23:33	And when they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and one on the left hand.
Luke 23:34	And Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” And they cast lots, dividing His garments.
Luke 23:35	And the people stood, looking on. And the rulers also were deriding [Him], saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if this is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”
Luke 23:36	And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming near, offering Him sour wine
Luke 23:37	and saying, “If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!”
Luke 23:38	And there was also an inscription over Him: THIS [IS] THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke 23:39	And one of the criminals having been hanged was railing at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
Luke 23:40	But the other, answering, was rebuking him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same judgment,
Luke 23:41	and we indeed justly? For we are receiving back things worthy of what we did, but [this] man did nothing wrong.”
Luke 23:42	And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!”
Luke 23:43	And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:44	And now it was about the sixth hour, and darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour,
Luke 23:45	the sun having darkened, and the veil of the temple was torn in the middle.
Luke 23:46	And having called out in a loud voice, Jesus said, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And having said this, He breathed His last.
Luke 23:47	And having seen that having taken place, the centurion was glorifying God, saying, “Certainly this man was righteous.”
Luke 23:48	And all the crowds having come together to this spectacle, having seen the things having taken place, were turning back, beating [their] breasts.
Luke 23:49	But all from those who knew Him, and the women, those having followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Luke 23:50	And behold, a man named Joseph, being also a Council member, a good and righteous man—
Luke 23:51	he was not having consented to their counsel and deed—from Arimathea, a city of the Jews, who was waiting for the kingdom of God,
Luke 23:52	he, having gone to Pilate, asked [for] the body of Jesus.
Luke 23:53	And having taken it down, he wrapped it in a linen cloth and placed it in a tomb cut in a rock, in which no one yet was laid.
Luke 23:54	And it was the Day of Preparation, and Sabbath was beginning.
Luke 23:55	And the women who had come with Him out of Galilee, having followed, saw the tomb and how His body was laid.
Luke 23:56	And having returned, they prepared spices and anointing oils. And they rested indeed on the Sabbath according to the commandment.
Luke 24:1	But [on] the first of the Sabbaths at early dawn they came to the tomb bringing the spices that they prepared.
Luke 24:2	And they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb,
Luke 24:3	but having entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luke 24:4	And it came to pass that while they are perplexed about this, behold, two men in dazzling apparel stood by them.
Luke 24:5	And [on] their having become terrified and bowing the faces to the ground, they said to them, “Why do you⁺ seek the living with the dead?
Luke 24:6	He is not here, but He is risen! Remember how He spoke to you⁺, being yet in Galilee,
Luke 24:7	saying, ‘It is necessary for the Son of Man to be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.’”
Luke 24:8	And they remembered His words.
Luke 24:9	And having returned from the tomb, they related all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest.
Luke 24:10	Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the [mother] of James, and the other women with them, [who] were saying these things to the apostles.
Luke 24:11	And these words appeared before them like folly, and they did not believe them.
Luke 24:12	But Peter, having risen up, ran to the tomb, and having stooped down, he sees only the linen strips. And he went away, wondering in himself at that having come to pass.
Luke 24:13	And behold, on the same day, two of them were going to a village whose name [is] Emmaus, sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:14	And they were talking with one another about all these things having taken place.
Luke 24:15	And it came to pass, in their talking and reasoning, that Jesus Himself, having drawn near, was walking along with them.
Luke 24:16	But their eyes were held not to know Him.
Luke 24:17	And He said to them, “What [are] these words that you⁺ exchange with one another, walking?” And they stood still, looking sad.
Luke 24:18	And the one named Cleopas, answering, said to Him, “Are You alone visiting Jerusalem and have not known the things having come to pass in it in these days?”
Luke 24:19	And He said to them, “What things?” And they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
Luke 24:20	and how our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the judgment of death, and they crucified Him.
Luke 24:21	But we were hoping it is He who is about to redeem Israel. But indeed also with all these things, this brings the third day away from which these things came to pass.
Luke 24:22	But also, certain women out from us astonished us. Having been to the tomb early this morning
Luke 24:23	and not having found His body, they came declaring to have also seen a vision of angels, who say He is alive.
Luke 24:24	And some of those with us went to the tomb and found [it] thus, even as the women said. But Him they did not see.”
Luke 24:25	And He said to them, “O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets spoke!
Luke 24:26	Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?”
Luke 24:27	And having begun from Moses and from all the Prophets, He interpreted to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.
Luke 24:28	And they drew near to the village where they were going, and He appeared to be going farther.
Luke 24:29	And they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and now the day has declined.” And He entered in to abide with them.
Luke 24:30	And it came to pass, in His reclining with them, having taken the bread, [that] He blessed [it]; and having broken [it], He began giving [it] to them.
Luke 24:31	And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him. And He, being seen, vanished from them.
Luke 24:32	And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us as He was speaking with us on the road, as He was opening the Scriptures to us?”
Luke 24:33	And having risen up [that] same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,
Luke 24:34	saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and He has appeared to Simon!”
Luke 24:35	And they began relating the things on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Luke 24:36	And [in] their telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and says to them, “Peace to you⁺.”
Luke 24:37	But having been terrified, and having been filled with fear, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit.
Luke 24:38	And He said to them, “Why are you⁺ troubled, and why do doubts come up in your⁺ hearts?
Luke 24:39	See My hands and My feet, that I am He. Touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you⁺ see Me having.”
Luke 24:40	And having said this, He showed to them the hands and the feet.
Luke 24:41	And [in] their still disbelieving from joy and wondering, He said to them, “Have you⁺ anything here to eat?”
Luke 24:42	And they gave to Him part of a broiled fish.
Luke 24:43	And having taken, He ate before them.
Luke 24:44	And He said to them, “These [are] My words, which I spoke to you⁺ being still with you⁺, that it is necessary to be fulfilled all things having been written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms.”
Luke 24:45	Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures.
Luke 24:46	And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead [on] the third day,
Luke 24:47	and repentance and forgiveness of sins are to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem.
Luke 24:48	You⁺ are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:49	And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you⁺. But you⁺, remain in the city until you⁺ should be clothed with power from on high.”
Luke 24:50	And He led them out as far as to Bethany, and having lifted up His hands, He blessed them.
Luke 24:51	And it came to pass, in His blessing them, [that] He was separated from them and was carried up into heaven.
Luke 24:52	And they, having worshiped Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
Luke 24:53	and they were through all [time] in the temple, blessing God.
John 1:1	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2	This One was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3	All things came into being through Him, and without Him not even one [thing] came into being that has come into being.
John 1:4	In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5	And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
John 1:6	There was a man sent from God; His name [was] John.
John 1:7	This one came for testimony, so that he might testify concerning the Light, so that all might believe through him.
John 1:8	That one was not the Light, but [it is] so that he might testify concerning the Light.
John 1:9	The true Light who enlightens every man was coming into the world.
John 1:10	He was in the world, and the world came into being through Him, and the world did not know Him.
John 1:11	He came to [His] own, and [His] own did not receive Him.
John 1:12	But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become children of God—to those believing in His name,
John 1:13	who were born not of blood, nor of will of flesh, nor of will of man, but of God.
John 1:14	And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. And we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:15	John testifies concerning Him, and he has cried out, saying, “This was He [of] whom I said, ‘The One coming after me has precedence over me, because He was before me.’”
John 1:16	For from His fullness we all received also grace upon grace.
John 1:17	For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
John 1:18	No one has ever yet seen God. The only begotten God, the One being in the bosom of the Father, He has made [Him] known.
John 1:19	And this is the testimony of John when the Jews of Jerusalem sent to him priests and Levites so that they might ask him, “Who are you?”
John 1:20	And he confessed and did not deny, but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
John 1:21	And they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
John 1:22	Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, so that we might give an answer to those having sent us? What do you say about yourself?”
John 1:23	He was saying, “I [am] a voice crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
John 1:24	And ones having been sent were from the Pharisees,
John 1:25	and they asked him and said to him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?”
John 1:26	John answered them, saying, “I baptize in water, but in the midst of you⁺ stands One whom you⁺ do not know,
John 1:27	the One coming after me, of whom I am not worthy that I should loose the strap of His sandal.”
John 1:28	These things came to pass in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
John 1:29	On the next day he sees Jesus coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God, the One taking away the sin of the world!
John 1:30	This is [the One] concerning whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who has precedence over me, because He was before me.’
John 1:31	And I did not know Him, but so that He might be revealed to Israel, because of this, I came baptizing in water.”
John 1:32	And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and it remained upon Him.
John 1:33	And I did not know Him, but the One having sent me to baptize in water, He said to me, ‘Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One baptizing in the Holy Spirit.’
John 1:34	And I have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
John 1:35	On the next day John again was standing, and two of his disciples.
John 1:36	And having looked at Jesus walking, he says, “Behold, the Lamb of God!”
John 1:37	And the two disciples heard him speaking and followed Jesus.
John 1:38	Then Jesus, having turned and having seen them following, says to them, “What do you⁺ seek?” And they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which, being translated, is to say Teacher), “where are You staying?”
John 1:39	He says to them, “Come, and you⁺ will see.” Therefore they went and saw where He is staying, and they stayed with Him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
John 1:40	Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two having heard from John and having followed Him.
John 1:41	He first finds [his] own brother Simon, and he says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is, being translated, Christ).
John 1:42	He led him to Jesus. Having looked at him, Jesus said, “You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is interpreted, Peter).
John 1:43	On the next day He willed to go out into Galilee. And He finds Philip, and Jesus says to him, “Follow Me.”
John 1:44	Now Philip was from Bethsaida, out of the city of Andrew and Peter.
John 1:45	Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found [Him] of whom Moses wrote in the Law—also the prophets—Jesus the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
John 1:46	And Nathanael said to him, “Is any good thing able to be out of Nazareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see.”
John 1:47	Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and He says about him, “Behold, truly an Israelite, in whom there is no deceit.”
John 1:48	Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip calling you, being under the fig tree, I saw you.”
John 1:49	Nathanael answered Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God; You are King of Israel!”
John 1:50	Jesus answered and said to him, “Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.”
John 1:51	And He says to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, you⁺ will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
John 2:1	And on the third day a wedding came to pass in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,
John 2:2	and Jesus also was invited, and His disciples, to the wedding.
John 2:3	And the wine having fallen short, the mother of Jesus says to Him, “They have no wine.”
John 2:4	And Jesus says to her, “What [is it] to Me and to you, woman? My hour is not yet come.”
John 2:5	His mother says to the servants, “Whatever He may say to you⁺, do [it].”
John 2:6	Now there were six stone water jars lying there, according to the purification of the Jews, having space for two or three metretae.
John 2:7	Jesus says to them, “Fill the water jars with water.” And they filled them up to the top.
John 2:8	And He says to them, “Draw [some] out now and carry [it] to the master of the feast.” And they carried [it].
John 2:9	And as the master of the feast tasted the water that has become wine, and he did not know from where it is—but the servants having drawn the water knew—the master of the feast calls the bridegroom
John 2:10	and says to him, “Every man first sets out the good wine, and when they might have become drunk, the inferior; you have kept the good wine until now.”
John 2:11	This [was] the beginning of the signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and He revealed His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
John 2:12	After this, He went down to Capernaum, He and His mother and His brothers and His disciples, and there they stayed not many days.
John 2:13	And the Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
John 2:14	And He found in the temple those selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting.
John 2:15	And having made a whip out of cords, He cast out all from the temple, both sheep and oxen; and He poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned the tables.
John 2:16	And to those selling the doves He said, “Take these from here! Do not make the house of My Father a house of trade!”
John 2:17	His disciples remembered that it is written: “The zeal of Your house will consume Me.”
John 2:18	Therefore the Jews answered and said to Him, “What sign do You show to us that You do these things?”
John 2:19	Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
John 2:20	Therefore the Jews said, “This temple was built [in] forty and six years, and You will raise it up in three days?”
John 2:21	But He was speaking about the temple of His body.
John 2:22	Therefore, when He was raised up from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus said.
John 2:23	And as He was in Jerusalem in the Passover, in the Feast, many believed in His name, beholding His signs that He was doing.
John 2:24	But Jesus Himself was not entrusting Himself to them, because of His knowing all,
John 2:25	and because He had no need that anyone should testify about man, for He Himself knew what was in man.
John 3:1	Now there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews.
John 3:2	This one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God [as] a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do unless God would be with him.”
John 3:3	Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one would be born from above, he is not able to see the kingdom of God.”
John 3:4	Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time and to be born?”
John 3:5	Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one would be born of water and of the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:6	That having been born of the flesh is flesh, and that having been born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7	Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘It is necessary for you⁺ to be born from above.’
John 3:8	The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know from where it comes and where it goes. Thus is everyone having been born of the Spirit.”
John 3:9	Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to be?”
John 3:10	Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel, and you do not know these things?
John 3:11	Truly, truly, I say to you that we speak what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, and you⁺ do not receive our testimony.
John 3:12	If I spoke to you⁺ earthly things and you⁺ do not believe, how will you⁺ believe if I should speak to you⁺ heavenly things?
John 3:13	And no one has gone up into heaven except the One having come down out of heaven, the Son of Man.
John 3:14	And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, thus it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
John 3:15	so that everyone believing in Him may have eternal life.
John 3:16	For God so loved the world that He gave the Son, the only begotten, so that everyone believing in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life.
John 3:17	For God did not send the Son into the world that He might judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
John 3:18	The one believing in Him is not judged, but the one not believing already has been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19	And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their works were evil.
John 3:20	For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, so that his works may not be exposed;
John 3:21	but the one doing the truth comes to the Light, so that his works may be manifest, that in God they are having been worked.”
John 3:22	After these things, Jesus and His disciples went into the land [of] Judea, and there He was staying with them and was baptizing.
John 3:23	Now John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because the waters were many there, and they were coming and were being baptized.
John 3:24	For John was not yet thrown into the prison.
John 3:25	Then a debate arose from the disciples of John with [a] Jew about purification.
John 3:26	And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the One who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, this One is baptizing, and all are coming to Him.”
John 3:27	John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive one [thing] unless it shall be given to him from heaven.
John 3:28	You⁺ yourselves testify to me that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I am sent before Him.’
John 3:29	The one having the bride is the bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, the one standing and hearing him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.
John 3:30	It is necessary for Him to increase, but [for] me to decrease.
John 3:31	The One coming from above is above all. The one being from the earth is from the earth and speaks from the earth. The One coming from heaven is above all.
John 3:32	What He has seen and heard, to this He testifies, and no one receives His testimony.
John 3:33	The one having received His testimony has sealed that God is true.
John 3:34	For the One whom God sent speaks the words of God, for He gives the Spirit without measure.
John 3:35	The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand.
John 3:36	The one believing in the Son has eternal life; but the one not obeying the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.”
John 4:1	Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and baptizes more disciples than John—
John 4:2	although indeed Jesus Himself was not baptizing, but His disciples—
John 4:3	He left Judea and went away again into Galilee.
John 4:4	And it was necessary for Him to pass through Samaria.
John 4:5	Therefore He comes to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John 4:6	And Jacob’s well was there. Therefore Jesus, wearied from the journey, was thus sitting at the well. The hour was about the sixth.
John 4:7	A woman out of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, “Give to Me to drink.”
John 4:8	For His disciples had gone away into the city, that they might buy food.
John 4:9	Therefore the Samaritan woman says to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.
John 4:10	Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God and who it is saying to you, ‘Give to Me to drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given to you living water.”
John 4:11	The woman says to Him, “Sir, You have nothing to draw with and the well is deep; from where, then, do You have the living water?
John 4:12	Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank out of it himself, and his sons and his livestock?”
John 4:13	Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone drinking of this water will thirst again;
John 4:14	but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, he will never thirst, to the age. Rather, the water that I will give to him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”
John 4:15	The woman says to Him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I might not thirst nor come here to draw.”
John 4:16	He says to her, “Go, call your husband and come here.”
John 4:17	The woman answered and said to Him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus says to her, “You have spoken correctly, ‘I do not have a husband.’
John 4:18	For you have had five husbands, and the one whom you have now is not your husband; this you have said truly.”
John 4:19	The woman says to Him, “Sir, I see that You are a prophet.
John 4:20	Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you⁺ say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.”
John 4:21	Jesus says to her, “Believe Me, woman, that an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you⁺ worship the Father.
John 4:22	You⁺ worship what you⁺ do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation is of the Jews.
John 4:23	But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father also seeks such who worship Him.
John 4:24	God [is] Spirit, and it is necessary for those worshiping Him to worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:25	The woman says to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ; when He comes, He will declare to us all things.”
John 4:26	Jesus says to her, “I am [He]—the One speaking to you.”
John 4:27	And upon this His disciples came and marveled that He was speaking with a woman. No one, however, said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”
John 4:28	Then the woman left her water jar and went away into the city, and she says to the men,
John 4:29	“Come, see a man who told me all things, as many as I did. Could this be the Christ?”
John 4:30	They went out of the city and were coming to Him.
John 4:31	In the meantime the disciples were urging Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
John 4:32	But He said to them, “I have food to eat that you⁺ do not know.”
John 4:33	Therefore the disciples were saying to one another, “Did anyone bring Him [something] to eat?”
John 4:34	Jesus says to them, “My food is that I should do the will of the One having sent Me and should finish His work.
John 4:35	Do you⁺ not say, ‘It is yet four months and the harvest comes’? Behold, I say to you⁺, lift up your⁺ eyes and look at the fields, because they are white to harvest already.
John 4:36	The one reaping receives a wage and gathers fruit unto eternal life, so that the one sowing and the one reaping may rejoice together.
John 4:37	For in this the word is true, that is, ‘One is sowing and another is reaping.’
John 4:38	I sent you⁺ to reap what you⁺ have not labored for; others have labored, and you⁺ have entered into their labor.”
John 4:39	And out of that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me all things that I did.”
John 4:40	Therefore when the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
John 4:41	And many more believed because of His word.
John 4:42	And they were saying to the woman, “No longer because of your speech do we believe; for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.”
John 4:43	And after the two days He went out from there into Galilee.
John 4:44	For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet in [his] own hometown does not have honor.
John 4:45	Therefore when He came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him, having seen all things that He did in Jerusalem during the feast, for they themselves also went to the feast.
John 4:46	He came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in Capernaum.
John 4:47	This one, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea into Galilee, went to Him and was asking that He might come down and heal his son, for he was about to die.
John 4:48	Therefore Jesus said to him, “Unless you⁺ see signs and wonders, you⁺ will never believe.”
John 4:49	The royal official says to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
John 4:50	Jesus says to him. “Go, your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he was going.
John 4:51	And already, [in] his going down, his servants met him, saying that his boy lives.
John 4:52	Therefore he inquired from them the hour in which he got better. Therefore they said to him, “Yesterday [at] the seventh hour the fever left him.”
John 4:53	Therefore the father knew that [it was] in that hour at which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.
John 4:54	Now this again [was] the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
John 5:1	After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
John 5:2	Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, having five porches.
John 5:3	In these were lying a multitude of those ailing, blind, lame, [and] withered.
John 5:4	
John 5:5	And a certain man was there, being thirty and eight years in his ailment.
John 5:6	Jesus, having seen this one lying and having known that he has been a long time already, says to him, “Do you want to become well?”
John 5:7	The one ailing answered Him, “Sir, I do not have a man, that when the water might be stirred, he might put me into the pool; and while I am going, another goes down before me.”
John 5:8	Jesus says to him, “Arise, take up your mat, and walk.”
John 5:9	And immediately the man became well, and he took up his mat and was walking. And it was the Sabbath on that day.
John 5:10	Therefore the Jews were saying to the one having been healed, “It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your mat.”
John 5:11	But he answered them, “The One having made me well, that One said to me, ‘Take up your mat and walk.’”
John 5:12	Therefore they asked him, “Who is the man having said to you, ‘Take [it] up and walk’?”
John 5:13	But the one having been healed did not know who it is, for Jesus moved away, a crowd being in the place.
John 5:14	After these things Jesus finds him in the temple and said to him, “Behold, you have become well. Sin no more, so that something worse might not happen to you.”
John 5:15	The man went away and declared to the Jews that Jesus is the One having made him well.
John 5:16	And because of this, the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
John 5:17	But Jesus answered them, “My Father is working until now, and I am working.”
John 5:18	Therefore because of this, the Jews were seeking more to kill Him, because not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was also calling God His own Father, making Himself equal to God.
John 5:19	Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the Son is able to do nothing from Himself, if not anything He may see the Father doing; for whatever He may do, these things the Son also does likewise.
John 5:20	For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all things that He Himself does. And He will show Him greater works than these, so that you⁺ may marvel.
John 5:21	For just as the Father raises the dead and makes alive, thus also the Son makes alive whom He wills.
John 5:22	For the Father judges no one, but He has given all judgment to the Son,
John 5:23	so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one not honoring the Son does not honor the Father, the One having sent Him.
John 5:24	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that the one hearing My word and believing the One having sent Me has eternal life and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.
John 5:25	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that an hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard will live.
John 5:26	For just as the Father has life in Himself, so also He gave to the Son to have life in Himself.
John 5:27	And He gave Him authority to do judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
John 5:28	Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming in which all those in the tombs will hear His voice,
John 5:29	and they will come out—those having done good to the resurrection of life, and those having practiced evil to the resurrection of judgment.
John 5:30	I am able to do nothing from Myself. Just as I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.
John 5:31	If I testify concerning Myself, My testimony is not true.
John 5:32	It is another testifying concerning Me, and I know that the testimony that He testifies concerning Me is true.
John 5:33	You⁺ have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
John 5:34	Now I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things so that you⁺ may be saved.
John 5:35	He was the lamp burning and shining, and you⁺ were willing to exult for an hour in his light.
John 5:36	But I have testimony greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given to Me so that I should complete them, the same works that I do, testify concerning Me that the Father has sent Me.
John 5:37	And the One having sent Me, the Father Himself, has testified concerning Me. You⁺ have neither heard His voice at any time, nor have you⁺ seen His form.
John 5:38	And you⁺ do not have His word remaining in you⁺, for you⁺ do not believe Him whom He sent.
John 5:39	You⁺ search the Scriptures because you⁺ think to have eternal life in them, and these are they testifying concerning Me;
John 5:40	and you⁺ are not willing to come to Me so that you⁺ may have life.
John 5:41	I do not receive glory from men,
John 5:42	but I have known you⁺, that you⁺ do not have the love of God in yourselves.
John 5:43	I have come in the name of My Father, and you⁺ do not receive Me; if another should come in [his] own name, you⁺ will receive him.
John 5:44	How are you⁺ able to believe, receiving glory from one another, and you⁺ do not seek the glory that [is] from the only God?
John 5:45	Do not think that I will accuse you⁺ to the Father. There is the one accusing you⁺: Moses, in whom you⁺ have hoped.
John 5:46	For if you⁺ were believing Moses, you⁺ would have been believing Me; for he wrote concerning Me.
John 5:47	But if you⁺ do not believe his writings, how will you⁺ believe My words?”
John 6:1	After these things Jesus went away [to] the other side of the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
John 6:2	and a great crowd was following Him because they were seeing the signs that He was doing upon the ailing.
John 6:3	And Jesus went up on the mountain and was sitting there with His disciples.
John 6:4	Now the Passover was near, the feast of the Jews.
John 6:5	Then Jesus, having lifted up the eyes and having seen that a great crowd is coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where shall we buy bread so that these might eat?”
John 6:6	Now He was saying this testing him, for He knew what He was about to do.
John 6:7	Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii of loaves are not sufficient for them, that each might receive some little [piece].”
John 6:8	One of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, says to Him,
John 6:9	“Here is a little boy who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are these for so many?”
John 6:10	Jesus said, “Make the men recline.” Now there was much grass in the place; therefore the men reclined, about five thousand [in] number.
John 6:11	And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those reclining; likewise also of the small fish, as much as they were wanting.
John 6:12	Now when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather together the fragments having superabounded, so that nothing may be lost.”
John 6:13	So they gathered together and filled twelve hand-baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves that superabounded to those having eaten.
John 6:14	Therefore the men, having seen what sign He did, were saying, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming into the world.”
John 6:15	Therefore Jesus, having known that they are about to come and to seize Him so that they might make [Him] king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.
John 6:16	Now as it became evening, His disciples went down to the sea,
John 6:17	and having entered into a boat, they were going [to] the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And darkness already had come, and Jesus had not yet come to them.
John 6:18	And the sea was agitated by a great wind blowing.
John 6:19	Therefore, having rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
John 6:20	But He says to them, “I am [He]! Do not be afraid.”
John 6:21	Then they were willing to take Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
John 6:22	On the next day, the crowd was standing on the other side of the sea, having seen that no other boat was there except one, and that Jesus did not go with His disciples into the boat, but His disciples went away alone.
John 6:23	(But boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread, the Lord having given thanks).
John 6:24	Therefore when the crowd saw that Jesus is not there, nor His disciples, they themselves entered into the boats and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
John 6:25	And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when have You come here?”
John 6:26	Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, you⁺ seek Me not because you⁺ saw signs, but because you⁺ ate of the loaves and were satisfied.
John 6:27	Do not work [for] the food that is perishing, but [for] the food remaining unto eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you⁺; for God the Father sealed Him.”
John 6:28	Therefore they said to Him, “What may we do so that we may work the works of God?”
John 6:29	Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you⁺ should believe in [Him] whom He sent.”
John 6:30	Therefore they said to Him, “Then what sign do You do, so that we may see and may believe You? What do You work?
John 6:31	Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, as it is written: ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’”
John 6:32	Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, Moses has not given you⁺ the bread out of heaven, but My Father gives you⁺ the true bread out of heaven.
John 6:33	For the bread of God is the One coming down out of heaven and giving life to the world.”
John 6:34	Therefore they said to Him, “Sir, always give us this bread.”
John 6:35	Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; the one coming to Me never shall hunger, and the one believing in Me never will thirst at any time.
John 6:36	But I said to you⁺ that you⁺ have also seen Me and you⁺ do not believe.
John 6:37	All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one coming to Me I shall never cast out.
John 6:38	For I have come down from heaven, not so that I may do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.
John 6:39	Now this is the will of the One having sent Me, that all that He has given Me, I should lose none of it, but I will raise it up in the last day.
John 6:40	For this is the will of My Father, that everyone beholding the Son and believing in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.”
John 6:41	Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him because He said, “I am the bread having come down out of heaven.”
John 6:42	And they were saying, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does He say, ‘I have come down out of heaven?’”
John 6:43	Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble with one another.
John 6:44	No one is able to come to Me unless the Father, the One having sent Me, should draw him, and I will raise him up in the last day.
John 6:45	It is written in the Prophets: ‘And they will all be taught of God.’ Everyone having heard from the Father and having learned comes to Me.
John 6:46	Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One being from God; He has seen the Father.
John 6:47	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one believing has eternal life.
John 6:48	I am the bread of life.
John 6:49	Your⁺ fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.
John 6:50	This is the bread coming down out of heaven, so that anyone may eat of it and not die.
John 6:51	I am the living bread having come down out of heaven. If anyone shall eat of this bread, he will live to the age. And the bread also that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
John 6:52	Therefore the Jews were arguing with one another, saying, “How is this One able to give us His flesh to eat?”
John 6:53	Therefore Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, unless you⁺ shall eat the flesh of the Son of Man and shall drink His blood, you⁺ do not have life in yourselves.
John 6:54	The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day.
John 6:55	For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
John 6:56	The one eating My flesh and drinking My blood remains in Me, and I in him.
John 6:57	Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, the one also feeding on Me, he also will live because of Me.
John 6:58	This is the bread having come down out of heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one eating this bread will live to the age.”
John 6:59	He said these things teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
John 6:60	Therefore many of His disciples, having heard, said, “This word is difficult; who is able to hear it?”
John 6:61	But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples are grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you⁺ to stumble?
John 6:62	Then [what] if you⁺ may behold the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?
John 6:63	It is the Spirit making alive; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you⁺ are spirit and they are life.
John 6:64	But there are some of you⁺ who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning who are those not believing and who it is who will betray Him.
John 6:65	And He was saying, “Because of this, I have said to you⁺ that no one is able to come to Me unless it shall have been given to him from the Father.”
John 6:66	From this [time] many of His disciples went away to the back and no longer were walking with Him.
John 6:67	Therefore Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you⁺ also want to go away?”
John 6:68	Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom will we go? You have the words of eternal life.
John 6:69	And we have believed and have known that You are the Holy One of God.”
John 6:70	Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you⁺, the Twelve? And one of you⁺ is a devil!”
John 6:71	Now He was speaking of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot; for he, one of the Twelve, was about to betray Him.
John 7:1	And after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for He was not wanting to walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
John 7:2	Now the feast of the Jews—[that] of Booths—was near.
John 7:3	Therefore His brothers said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples will also see Your works that You do.
John 7:4	For no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be in public. If You do these things, manifest Yourself to the world.”
John 7:5	For not even His brothers were believing in Him.
John 7:6	Therefore Jesus says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your⁺ time is always ready.
John 7:7	The world is not able to hate you⁺; but it hates Me, because I testify about it that its works are evil.
John 7:8	You⁺ go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled.”
John 7:9	And having said these things Himself, He remained in Galilee.
John 7:10	But when His brothers went up to the feast, then He also went up—not openly, but as in secret.
John 7:11	Therefore the Jews were seeking Him in the feast and were saying, “Where is that One?”
John 7:12	And there was much murmuring about Him among the crowds. Indeed, some were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, but He deceives the crowd.”
John 7:13	No one, however, was speaking publicly about Him, because of the fear of the Jews.
John 7:14	And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and was teaching.
John 7:15	Therefore the Jews were marveling, saying, “How has this One known writings, not having learned?”
John 7:16	Therefore Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not of Me, but of the One having sent Me.
John 7:17	If anyone should desire to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or I speak from Myself.
John 7:18	The one speaking from himself seeks [his] own glory, but the One seeking the glory of the One having sent Him, He is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
John 7:19	Has not Moses given to you⁺ the law? And none of you⁺ does the law. Why do you⁺ seek to kill Me?”
John 7:20	The crowd answered, “You have a demon. Who seeks to kill You?”
John 7:21	Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you⁺ all marvel.
John 7:22	Because of this Moses has given to you⁺ the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on the Sabbath you⁺ circumcise a man.
John 7:23	If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses might not be broken, are you⁺ angry with Me because I made the whole man sound on the Sabbath?
John 7:24	Do not judge according to appearance, but judge the righteous judgment.”
John 7:25	Therefore some of those of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not whom they seek to kill?
John 7:26	And behold, He speaks publicly, and they say nothing ever to Him. Did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
John 7:27	But we know this [man], where He is from. But the Christ, when He may come, no one knows where He is from.”
John 7:28	Therefore Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You⁺ know Me and you⁺ know where I am from. And I have not come of Myself, but the One having sent Me is true, whom you⁺ do not know.
John 7:29	I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
John 7:30	Therefore they were seeking to seize Him, but no one laid the hand upon Him, because His hour had not yet come.
John 7:31	But many out of the crowd believed in Him and were saying, “When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs than this [man] did?”
John 7:32	The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers so that they might seize Him.
John 7:33	Therefore Jesus said, “Yet a little time I am with you⁺, and I go to the One having sent Me.
John 7:34	You⁺ will seek Me and will not find Me; and where I am, you⁺ are not able to come.”
John 7:35	Therefore the Jews said among themselves, “Where is He about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the Diaspora among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
John 7:36	What is this word that He said, ‘You⁺ will seek Me, and will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you⁺ are not able to come’?”
John 7:37	Now in the last day of the feast, the great [day], Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone may thirst, let him come to Me and drink.
John 7:38	The one believing in Me, as the Scripture said: ‘Out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.’”
John 7:39	Now He said this about the Spirit, whom those having believed in Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
John 7:40	Therefore, having heard these words, some of the crowd were saying, “This is truly the Prophet.”
John 7:41	Others were saying, “This is the Christ.” But others were saying, “How indeed does the Christ come out of Galilee?
John 7:42	Did not the Scripture say that out of the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, comes the Christ?”
John 7:43	Therefore a division happened in the crowd because of Him.
John 7:44	Now some of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one laid the hands on Him.
John 7:45	Therefore the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you⁺ not bring Him?”
John 7:46	The officers answered, “Never did a man speak thus, as this man speaks!”
John 7:47	Therefore the Pharisees answered them, “Have you⁺ also been deceived?
John 7:48	Did anyone out of the rulers or out of the Pharisees believe in Him?
John 7:49	But this crowd, not knowing the law, they are accursed.”
John 7:50	Nicodemus, the one having come to Him before, being one of them, says to them,
John 7:51	“Does our law judge the man unless it should first hear from him and know what he does?”
John 7:52	They answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that out of Galilee a prophet is not raised.”
John 7:53	And each went to his home.
John 8:1	But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
John 8:2	And early in the morning, again He came into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him. And having sat down, He was teaching them.
John 8:3	Now the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
John 8:4	they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
John 8:5	Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such. You, therefore, what do You say?”
John 8:6	Now they were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have [grounds] to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with [His] finger into the ground.
John 8:7	But as they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up and said to them, “The one sinless among you⁺, let him cast the first stone at her.”
John 8:8	And again having stooped down, He was writing into the ground.
John 8:9	And having heard, they were going out one by one, having begun from the elder ones until the last, and Jesus was left alone, and the woman being in the midst.
John 8:10	And having lifted Himself up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
John 8:11	And she said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now [on] sin no more.”
John 8:12	Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one following Me shall not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:13	Therefore the Pharisees said to Him, “You testify about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.”
John 8:14	Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, because I know from where I came and where I am going. But you⁺ do not know from where I come or where I am going.
John 8:15	You⁺ judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
John 8:16	But even if I judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone—but I and the Father having sent Me.
John 8:17	And even in your⁺ Law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.
John 8:18	I am the One testifying about Myself, and the Father having sent Me testifies about Me.”
John 8:19	Therefore they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You⁺ know neither Me nor My Father. If you⁺ had known Me, you⁺ would have known My Father also.”
John 8:20	He spoke these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
John 8:21	Therefore He said to them again, “I am going away, and you⁺ will seek Me, and you⁺ will die in your⁺ sin. Where I am going, you⁺ are not able to come.”
John 8:22	Therefore the Jews were saying, “Will He kill Himself, that He says, ‘Where I am going, you⁺ are not able to come’?”
John 8:23	And He was saying to them, “You⁺ are from below; I am from above. You⁺ are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 8:24	Therefore I said to you⁺ that you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins; for unless you⁺ believe that I am [He], you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins.”
John 8:25	Therefore they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “Even what I said to you⁺ [from] the beginning.
John 8:26	I have many things to say and to judge concerning you⁺. But the One having sent Me is true; and I, what I heard from Him, these things I say to the world.”
John 8:27	They did not know that He was speaking to them [about] the Father.
John 8:28	Therefore Jesus said to them, “When you⁺ shall have lifted up the Son of Man, then you⁺ will know that I am [He], and I do nothing from Myself; but just as the Father taught Me, these things I speak.
John 8:29	And the One having sent Me is with Me. He did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
John 8:30	of His speaking these things, many believed in Him.
John 8:31	Therefore Jesus was saying to the Jews having believed in Him, “If you⁺ shall remain in My word, truly you⁺ are My disciples.
John 8:32	And you⁺ will know the truth, and the truth will set you⁺ free.”
John 8:33	They responded to Him, “We are seed of Abraham, and to no one ever have we been slaves. How do You say, ‘You⁺ will become free’?”
John 8:34	Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that everyone who [is] doing sin is a slave of sin.
John 8:35	Now the slave does not remain in the house to the age; the son remains to the age.
John 8:36	Therefore if the Son shall set you⁺ free, you⁺ will be really free.
John 8:37	I know that you⁺ are seed of Abraham, but you⁺ seek to kill Me because My word has no place in you⁺.
John 8:38	I speak the things I have seen with the Father; and you⁺, therefore, the things you⁺ have heard with [your] father, you⁺ do.”
John 8:39	They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus says to them, “If you⁺ were children of Abraham, you⁺ would do the works of Abraham.
John 8:40	But now you⁺ seek to kill Me, a man who has spoken to you⁺ the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
John 8:41	You⁺ are doing the works of your⁺ father.” Therefore they said to Him, “We have not been born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—God.”
John 8:42	Jesus said to them, “If God were your⁺ Father, you⁺ would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
John 8:43	Why do you⁺ not know My speech? Because you⁺ are not able to hear My word.
John 8:44	You⁺ are of [your] father the devil, and you⁺ want to do the desires of your⁺ father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he may speak falsehood, he speaks from [his] own, because he is a liar and the father of it.
John 8:45	But because I speak the truth, you⁺ do not believe Me!
John 8:46	Which of you⁺ convicts Me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, why do you⁺ not believe Me?
John 8:47	The one being of God hears the words of God; because of this you⁺ do not hear, because you⁺ are not of God.”
John 8:48	The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
John 8:49	Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you⁺ dishonor Me.
John 8:50	And I do not seek My glory; there is One seeking [it] and judging.
John 8:51	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, if anyone shall keep My word, he shall never see death, to the age.”
John 8:52	Therefore the Jews said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon! Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, ‘If anyone shall keep My word, he shall never taste of death, to the age.’
John 8:53	Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Whom do You make Yourself?”
John 8:54	Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; My Father is the One glorifying Me, [of] whom you⁺ say, ‘He is our God.’
John 8:55	And you⁺ have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you⁺. But I know Him, and I keep His word.
John 8:56	Abraham your⁺ father exulted that he should see My day, and he saw and rejoiced.”
John 8:57	Therefore the Jews said to Him, “Not yet do You have fifty years, and You have seen Abraham?”
John 8:58	Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, before Abraham came into being, I am!”
John 8:59	Therefore they took up stones so that they might cast [them] at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went forth out of the temple.
John 9:1	And passing by, He saw a man blind from birth.
John 9:2	And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?”
John 9:3	Jesus answered, “Neither this [man] sinned, nor his parents; but [it was] so that the works of God should be displayed in him.
John 9:4	It is necessary for us to work the works of the One having sent Me while it is day; night is coming, when no one is able to work.
John 9:5	While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
John 9:6	Having said these things, He spit on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and He applied the clay to his eyes.
John 9:7	And He said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). Therefore he went away and washed and came [back] seeing.
John 9:8	Therefore the neighbors and those seeing him before, that he was a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one sitting and begging?”
John 9:9	Others were saying, “This is [he].” Others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He was saying, “I am [he].”
John 9:10	Therefore they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?”
John 9:11	He answered, “The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and He said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Therefore, having gone away and having washed, I received sight.”
John 9:12	And they said to him, “Where is He?” He says, “I do not know.”
John 9:13	They bring him who once [was] blind to the Pharisees.
John 9:14	Now it was a Sabbath—the day on which Jesus made the clay and opened his eyes.
John 9:15	Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight. And he said to them, “He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and I see.”
John 9:16	Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How is a man, a sinner, able to do such signs?” And there was division among them.
John 9:17	Therefore they say to the blind [man] again, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.”
John 9:18	Therefore the Jews did not believe concerning him that he was blind and received sight, until they called the parents of him having received sight
John 9:19	and asked them, saying, “Is this your⁺ son, of whom you⁺ say that he was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
John 9:20	Therefore his parents answered and said, “We know that this is our son and that he was born blind.
John 9:21	But how he sees now, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He has age. He will speak concerning himself.”
John 9:22	His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews already had agreed together that if anyone should confess Him [as] Christ, he would be expelled from the synagogue.
John 9:23	Because of this, his parents said, “He has age. Ask him.”
John 9:24	Therefore they called out a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
John 9:25	Therefore he answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. One [thing] I know, that being blind, now I see!”
John 9:26	Therefore they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
John 9:27	He answered them, “I told you⁺ already, and you⁺ did not hear. Why do you⁺ want to hear again? Do you⁺ also want to become His disciples?”
John 9:28	And they reviled him and said, “You are a disciple of that One, but we are disciples of Moses.
John 9:29	We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know from where this [man] is.”
John 9:30	The man answered and said to them, “In this, indeed, is an amazing thing, that you⁺ do not know from where He is, and [yet] He opened my eyes.
John 9:31	We know that God does not hear sinners, but if anyone may be God-fearing and may do His will, He hears him.
John 9:32	From the age it was not heard that anyone opened the eyes of one having been born blind.
John 9:33	If this [man] were not from God, He would be able to do nothing.”
John 9:34	They answered and said to him, “You were born entirely in sins, and do you teach us?” And they cast him out.
John 9:35	Jesus heard that they cast him out, and having found him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
John 9:36	He answered and said, “And who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?”
John 9:37	Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the One speaking with you.”
John 9:38	And he was saying, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped Him.
John 9:39	And Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those not seeing may see and those seeing may become blind.”
John 9:40	Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and they said to Him, “Are we also blind?”
John 9:41	Jesus said to them, “If you⁺ were blind, you⁺ would not have sin. But now [that] you⁺ say, ‘We see,’ your⁺ sin remains.[”]
John 10:1	“Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one not entering through the door to the fold of the sheep, but going up another way, he is a thief and a robber.
John 10:2	But the one entering through the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
John 10:3	To this one the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls [his] own sheep by name and leads them out.
John 10:4	When he may bring out all [his] own, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10:5	But they will never follow a stranger, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
John 10:6	Jesus spoke to them this allegory, but they did not know what it was that He was saying to them.
John 10:7	Therefore Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:8	All, as many as came before Me, are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
John 10:9	I am the door. If anyone may enter through Me, he will be saved, and he will come in and will go out and will find pasture.
John 10:10	The thief does not come except so that he might steal and might kill and might destroy. I came so that they may have life, and may have [it] abundantly.
John 10:11	I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
John 10:12	But the hired servant, not being the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees—and the wolf snatches them and scatters [them]—
John 10:13	because he is a hired servant and is not himself caring about the sheep.
John 10:14	I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me—
John 10:15	just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My life for the sheep.
John 10:16	And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. It is necessary for Me to bring those also, and they will hear My voice, and there will be one flock [and] one shepherd.
John 10:17	Because of this, the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I might take it again.
John 10:18	No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
John 10:19	Again there was division among the Jews because of these words.
John 10:20	And many of them were saying, “He has a demon and is insane. Why do you⁺ listen to Him?”
John 10:21	Others were saying, “These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. Is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?”
John 10:22	Then the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter,
John 10:23	and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon.
John 10:24	Therefore the Jews encircled Him and were saying to Him, “Until when do You hold our soul in suspense? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
John 10:25	Jesus answered them, “I told you⁺, and you⁺ do not believe. The works that I do in the name of My Father, these testify about Me.
John 10:26	But you⁺ do not believe, because you⁺ are not of My sheep.
John 10:27	My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10:28	And I give them eternal life, and never shall they perish to the age, and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
John 10:29	My Father, who has given [them] to Me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch [them] out of the hand of the Father.
John 10:30	I and the Father are one.”
John 10:31	Therefore the Jews took up stones again so that they might stone Him.
John 10:32	Jesus answered them, “I showed you⁺ many good works from the Father; because of which work of them do you⁺ stone Me?”
John 10:33	The Jews answered Him, “We do not stone You concerning a good work, but concerning blasphemy, and because You, being a man, make Yourself God.”
John 10:34	Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your⁺ Law: ‘I said you⁺ are gods’?
John 10:35	If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture is not able to be broken—
John 10:36	do you⁺ say [of Him] whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
John 10:37	If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me.
John 10:38	But if I do, even if you⁺ do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you⁺ may know and may understand that the Father [is] in Me and I in the Father.”
John 10:39	Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, but He went forth out of their hand.
John 10:40	And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and He remained there.
John 10:41	And many came to Him and were saying, “John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this [man] was true.”
John 10:42	And many believed in Him there.
John 11:1	Now a certain [man] was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
John 11:2	And Mary was the one having anointed the Lord with fragrant oil and having wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.
John 11:3	Therefore the sisters sent to Him, saying, “Lord, behold, [the one] whom You love is sick.”
John 11:4	And having heard, Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
John 11:5	Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.
John 11:6	Therefore when He heard that he is sick, then indeed He remained in the place in which He was two days.
John 11:7	Then after this, He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
John 11:8	The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, just now the Jews were seeking to stone You, and again You are going there?”
John 11:9	Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours of the day? If anyone may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
John 11:10	But if anyone may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”
John 11:11	He said these things, and after this He says to them, “Lazarus our friend has fallen asleep, but I go so that I may awaken him.”
John 11:12	Therefore the disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be saved.”
John 11:13	Now Jesus had spoken about his death; but they thought that He speaks about the rest of sleep.
John 11:14	So then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus has died,
John 11:15	and I rejoice for your⁺ sake (so that you⁺ might believe) that I was not there. But let us go to him.”
John 11:16	Therefore Thomas called Didymus said to [his] fellow disciples, “Let us also go, so that we may die with Him.”
John 11:17	Therefore, having come, Jesus found him already having been four days in the tomb.
John 11:18	Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia away.
John 11:19	And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, so that they might console them concerning [their] brother.
John 11:20	Therefore Martha, when she heard that Jesus is coming, met Him; but Mary was sitting in the house.
John 11:21	Then Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.
John 11:22	But even now I know that whatever You might ask God, God will give You.”
John 11:23	Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
John 11:24	Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day.”
John 11:25	Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing in Me, even if he may die, he will live.
John 11:26	And everyone living and believing in Me shall never die, to the age. Do you believe this?”
John 11:27	She says to Him, “Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
John 11:28	And having said these things, she went away and called her sister Mary secretly, having said, “The Teacher is come, and He calls you.”
John 11:29	And she, as she heard, rose up quickly and was coming to Him.
John 11:30	Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.
John 11:31	Then the Jews being with her in the house and consoling her, having seen that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, having thought that she is going to the tomb so that she might weep there.
John 11:32	Therefore Mary, as she came to where Jesus was, having seen Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died.”
John 11:33	Therefore Jesus, as He saw her weeping and the Jews having come with her weeping, was deeply moved in spirit and Himself troubled.
John 11:34	And He said, “Where have you⁺ laid him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
John 11:35	Jesus wept.
John 11:36	Therefore the Jews were saying, “Behold how He was loving him!”
John 11:37	But some of them said, “Was not this [man], the One having opened the eyes of the blind able to have caused also that this one should not have died?”
John 11:38	So Jesus, being deeply moved in Himself again, comes to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it.
John 11:39	Jesus says, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the one having died, says to Him, “Lord, already he stinks, for it is four days.”
John 11:40	Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you should believe, you will see the glory of God?”
John 11:41	So they took away the stone. Now Jesus lifted His eyes upward and said, “Father, I thank You that You heard Me.
John 11:42	And I knew that You always hear Me; but I said [it] because of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”
John 11:43	And having said these things, He cried out in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
John 11:44	The one having been dead came out, the feet and the hands bound with linen strips, and his face bound around in a soudario. Jesus says to them, “Unbind him and allow him to go.”
John 11:45	Therefore many of the Jews, having come to Mary and having seen what He did, believed in Him.
John 11:46	But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus did.
John 11:47	Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered together a council, and they were saying, “What do we do? For this man does many signs.
John 11:48	If we shall let Him alone like this, all will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and will take away both our place and nation.”
John 11:49	But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, “You⁺ know nothing at all,
John 11:50	nor do you⁺ reckon that it is profitable for you⁺ that one man should die for the people and the whole nation should not perish.”
John 11:51	Now he did not say this from himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
John 11:52	and not for the nation only, but also so that the children of God, those having been scattered, He might gather together into one.
John 11:53	So from that day they took counsel together that they might kill Him.
John 11:54	Therefore Jesus no longer was walking publicly among the Jews, but He went away from there into the region near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim. And there He stayed with the disciples.
John 11:55	Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up to Jerusalem from the country before the Passover, so that they might purify themselves.
John 11:56	Therefore they were seeking Jesus and were speaking with one another standing in the temple: “What does it seem to you⁺? That He may not come to the feast?”
John 11:57	Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command that if anyone should know where He is, he should show [it], so that they might seize Him.
John 12:1	Therefore Jesus, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised out from the dead.
John 12:2	Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of those reclining with Him.
John 12:3	Therefore Mary, having taken a litra of fragrant oil of pure nard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
John 12:4	But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, being about to betray Him, says,
John 12:5	“Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
John 12:6	But he said this not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief; and having the money bag, he used to take up that being put into [it].
John 12:7	Therefore Jesus said, “Leave her alone, so that for the day of My burial she may keep it.
John 12:8	For you⁺ always have the poor with you, but not always do you⁺ have Me.”
John 12:9	Therefore the great crowd of the Jews knew that He is there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but so that they might see Lazarus also, whom He raised out from the dead.
John 12:10	And the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
John 12:11	because on account of him many of the Jews were going away and were believing in Jesus.
John 12:12	On the next day the great crowd, having come to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
John 12:13	took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and they were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the One coming in the name of the Lord!” “And the King of Israel!”
John 12:14	Now Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, just as it is written:
John 12:15	“Do not fear, daughter of Zion; behold, your King comes, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
John 12:16	His disciples did not know these things from the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him and these things they did to Him.
John 12:17	Therefore the crowd being with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him out from the dead were testifying.
John 12:18	Because of this the crowd also met Him, because they heard of His having done this sign.
John 12:19	Therefore the Pharisees said among themselves, “You⁺ see that you⁺ gain nothing. Behold, the world went away after Him!”
John 12:20	Now there were certain Greeks among those coming up so that they might worship at the feast.
John 12:21	Therefore these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they were asking him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
John 12:22	Philip comes and tells Andrew; Andrew and Philip come and tell Jesus.
John 12:23	And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man shall be glorified.
John 12:24	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, unless the grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, should die, it remains alone; but if it should die, it bears much fruit.
John 12:25	The one loving his life loses it, and the one hating his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
John 12:26	If anyone may serve Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there also My servant will be. If anyone may serve Me, the Father will honor him.
John 12:27	Now My soul has been troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But because of this I came to this hour.
John 12:28	Father, glorify Your name!” Therefore a voice came from heaven: “I have both glorified [it], and I will glorify [it] again.”
John 12:29	Therefore the crowd, having stood and having heard, was saying, “There has been thunder.” Others were saying, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
John 12:30	Jesus answered and said, “This voice has not come because of Me, but because of you⁺.
John 12:31	Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
John 12:32	And I, when I shall be lifted up from the earth, will draw all to Myself.”
John 12:33	Now He was saying this signifying by what death He was about to die.
John 12:34	Then the crowd answered Him, “We heard from the Law that the Christ remains to the age, and how do You say that it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?”
John 12:35	Therefore Jesus said to them, “Yet a little time the Light is among you⁺. Walk while you⁺ have the Light, so that darkness might not overtake you⁺. And the one walking in the darkness does not know where he goes.
John 12:36	While you⁺ have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you⁺ may become sons of light.” Jesus spoke these things, and having gone away, He was hidden from them.
John 12:37	But of Him having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
John 12:38	so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled that said: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom was the arm of the Lord revealed?”
John 12:39	Because of this, they were not able to believe, because again Isaiah said:
John 12:40	“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, so that they might not see with the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn, and I will heal them.”
John 12:41	Isaiah said these things because he saw His glory and spoke about Him.
John 12:42	Nevertheless, indeed many of the rulers also believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, so that they might not be put out of the synagogue;
John 12:43	for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
John 12:44	And Jesus cried out and said, “The one believing in Me does not believe in Me but in the One having sent Me.
John 12:45	And the one beholding Me beholds the One having sent Me.
John 12:46	I have come into the world [as] a light, so that everyone believing in Me should not remain in the darkness.
John 12:47	And if anyone might hear My words and not keep [them], I do not judge him; for I did not come so that I might judge the world, but so that I might save the world.
John 12:48	The one rejecting Me and not receiving My words has one judging him: The word that I spoke, which will judge him in the last day.
John 12:49	For I did not speak from Myself, but the Father Himself, having sent Me, has given Me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
John 12:50	And I know that His commandment is eternal life. Therefore what I speak, just as the Father has said to Me, so I speak.”
John 13:1	Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come, that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved [His] own who [were] in the world, He loved them to the end.
John 13:2	And supper taking place [and] the devil already having put into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot that he should betray Him,
John 13:3	knowing that the Father has given to Him all things into the hands, and that He came forth from God and He is going to God,
John 13:4	He rises from the supper and lays aside [His] garments. And having taken a towel, He girded Himself.
John 13:5	After that, He pours water into the basin, and He began to wash the feet of the disciples and to wipe [them] with the towel with which He was girded.
John 13:6	Then He comes to Simon Peter, who says to Him, “Lord, do You wash my feet?”
John 13:7	Jesus answered and said to him, “What I do, you do not know presently, but you will know after these things.”
John 13:8	Peter says to Him, “Never shall You wash my feet, to the age!” Jesus answered him, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me.”
John 13:9	Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head!”
John 13:10	Jesus says to him, “The one having been bathed has no need to wash, except the feet, but is wholly clean. And you⁺ all are clean, but not all.”
John 13:11	For He knew the [one who] is betraying Him; on account of this He said, “You⁺ are not all clean.”
John 13:12	Therefore when He washed their feet and took His garments and reclined again, He said to them, “Do you⁺ know what I have done to you⁺?
John 13:13	You⁺ call Me Teacher and Lord, and you⁺ say rightly, for I am.
John 13:14	Therefore if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your⁺ feet, you⁺ also ought to wash the feet of one another.
John 13:15	For I gave you⁺ an example so that as I did to you⁺, you⁺ also should do.
John 13:16	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, a servant is not greater than his master, nor a messenger greater than the one having sent him.
John 13:17	If you⁺ know these things, you⁺ are blessed if you⁺ do them.
John 13:18	I speak not about all of you⁺—I know whom I chose—but so that the Scripture may be fulfilled: ‘The one eating My bread lifted up his heel against Me.’
John 13:19	I am telling you⁺ from this time, before it comes to pass, so that when it comes to pass you⁺ should believe that I am [He].
John 13:20	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one receiving anyone I shall send receives Me, and the one receiving Me receives the One having sent Me.”
John 13:21	Having said these things, Jesus was troubled in spirit, and He testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that one of you⁺ will deliver Me up.”
John 13:22	The disciples began to look upon one another, being uncertain of whom He is speaking.
John 13:23	There was reclining one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, in the bosom of Jesus.
John 13:24	Therefore Simon Peter motions to this one to ask who it is about whom He is speaking.
John 13:25	Then he thus, having leaned on the breast of Jesus, says to Him, “Lord, who is it?”
John 13:26	Then Jesus answers, “It is he to whom I will dip the morsel and will give [it] to him.” Then, having dipped the morsel, He takes [it] and gives [it] to Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot.
John 13:27	And after the morsel, then Satan entered into him. Therefore Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
John 13:28	Now none of those reclining knew toward what He said this to him.
John 13:29	For some were thinking, since Judas had the money bag, that Jesus is saying to him, “Buy what things we have need [of] for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
John 13:30	Therefore, having received the morsel, he went out immediately. And it was night.
John 13:31	Therefore when he had gone out, Jesus says, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in Him.
John 13:32	If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and He will glorify Him immediately.
John 13:33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you⁺. You⁺ will seek Me, and as I said to the Jews, now I say also to you⁺: ‘Where I go, you⁺ are not able to come.’
John 13:34	A new commandment I give to you⁺, that you⁺ should love one another. As I have loved you⁺, so you⁺ also should love one another.
John 13:35	By this all will know that you⁺ are My disciples, if you⁺ shall have love among one another.”
John 13:36	Simon Peter says to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I go, you are not able to follow Me now, but you will follow afterward.”
John 13:37	Peter says to Him, “Lord, why am I not able to follow You presently? I will lay down my life for You.”
John 13:38	Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, the rooster will not crow until you will deny Me three times.[]
John 14:1	[“] Let not your⁺ heart be troubled. You⁺ believe in God; believe also in Me.
John 14:2	In My Father’s house are many dwelling places. And if not so, would I have told you⁺ that I am going to prepare a place for you⁺?
John 14:3	And if I go and prepare a place for you⁺, I am coming again, and I will receive you⁺ to Myself, so that where I am, you⁺ may be also.
John 14:4	And you⁺ know the way to where I am going.”
John 14:5	Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how can we know the way?”
John 14:6	Jesus says to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father if not through Me.
John 14:7	If you⁺ had known Me, you⁺ would also have known My Father. From now, you⁺ know Him and have seen Him.”
John 14:8	Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
John 14:9	Jesus says to him, “Am I with you⁺ so long a time, and you have not known Me, Philip? The one having seen Me has seen the Father. How do you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
John 14:10	Do you not believe that I [am] in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I speak to you⁺ I do not speak from Myself; but the Father dwelling in Me does His works.
John 14:11	Believe Me that I [am] in the Father and the Father [is] in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.
John 14:12	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, the one believing in Me, the works that I do, he will also do. And he will do greater than these, because I am going to the Father.
John 14:13	And whatever you⁺ might ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14	If you⁺ ask Me anything in My name, I will do [it].
John 14:15	If you⁺ love Me, you⁺ will keep My commandments.
John 14:16	And I will ask the Father, and He will give you⁺ another Advocate so that He may be with you⁺ to the age—
John 14:17	the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him, nor does it know [Him]. But you⁺ know Him, for He abides with you⁺ and will be in you⁺.
John 14:18	I will not leave you⁺ as orphans; I am coming to you⁺.
John 14:19	Yet a little while, and the world sees Me no more, but you⁺ see Me. Because I live, you⁺ also will live.
John 14:20	In that day you⁺ will know that I [am] in My Father, and you⁺ in Me, and I in you⁺.
John 14:21	The one having My commandments and keeping them, he is the one loving Me. Now the one loving Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and I will show Myself to him.”
John 14:22	Judas (not Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, then what has occurred that You are about to manifest Yourself to us and not to the world?”
John 14:23	Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and will make a home with him.
John 14:24	The one not loving Me does not keep My words. And the word that you⁺ hear is not Mine, but [that] of the Father having sent Me.
John 14:25	These things I have said to you⁺, remaining with you⁺.
John 14:26	But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you⁺ all things and will remind you⁺ of all the things that I said to you⁺.
John 14:27	Peace I leave with you⁺; My peace I give to you⁺. Not as the world gives do I give to you⁺. Let not your⁺ heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
John 14:28	You⁺ heard that I said to you⁺, ‘I am going away and I am coming to you⁺.’ If you⁺ loved Me, you⁺ would have rejoiced that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.
John 14:29	And now I have told you⁺ before it comes to pass, so that when it shall have come to pass, you⁺ may believe.
John 14:30	No longer will I speak much with you⁺; for the ruler of the world comes, and in Me he has nothing.
John 14:31	But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded Me, thus I do. Rise up, let us go from here.[]
John 15:1	[“] I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
John 15:2	Every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away; and every one bearing fruit, He prunes it clean so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:3	Already you⁺ are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you⁺.
John 15:4	Remain in Me, and I in you⁺. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither you⁺, unless you⁺ remain in Me.
John 15:5	I am the vine; you⁺ [are] the branches. The one remaining in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from Me you⁺ are able to do nothing.
John 15:6	If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up; and they gather them and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.
John 15:7	If you⁺ remain in Me and My words remain in you⁺, you⁺ shall ask whatever you⁺ wish, and to you⁺ it will come to pass.
John 15:8	In this My Father is glorified, that you⁺ should bear much fruit, and you⁺ shall be My disciples.
John 15:9	As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you⁺. Remain in My love.
John 15:10	If you⁺ keep My commandments, you⁺ will abide in My love, as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
John 15:11	These things I have spoken to you⁺ so that My joy may be in you⁺ and your⁺ joy may be full.
John 15:12	This is My commandment, that you⁺ should love one another as I have loved you⁺.
John 15:13	Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:14	You⁺ are My friends if you⁺ do what I command you⁺.
John 15:15	No longer do I call you⁺ servants, because the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you⁺ friends, because all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you⁺.
John 15:16	You⁺ did not choose Me, but I chose you⁺, and I appointed you⁺ so that you⁺ should go and bear fruit, and [that] your⁺ fruit should remain, so that whatever you⁺ might ask the Father in My name, He may give you⁺.
John 15:17	These things I command you⁺, that you⁺ love one another.
John 15:18	If the world hates you⁺, you⁺ know that it has hated Me before you⁺.
John 15:19	If you⁺ were of the world, the world would love [you] [as] its own; but because you⁺ are not of the world, but I chose you⁺ out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you⁺.
John 15:20	Remember the word that I said to you⁺: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you⁺; if they kept My word, they will keep yours⁺ also.
John 15:21	But they will do all these things against you⁺ on account of My name, because they do not know the One having sent Me.
John 15:22	If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
John 15:23	The one hating Me hates My Father also.
John 15:24	If I had not done among them the works that no other has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father.
John 15:25	But [this is] so that the word having been written in their Law may be fulfilled: ‘They hated Me without cause.’
John 15:26	When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you⁺ from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will testify about Me.
John 15:27	And you⁺ also testify, because you⁺ are with Me from the beginning.[]
John 16:1	[“] I have spoken these things to you⁺ so that you⁺ should not fall away.
John 16:2	They will put you⁺ out of the synagogues; but an hour is coming that everyone having killed you⁺ will think he is offering a service to God.
John 16:3	And they will do these things because they do not know the Father nor Me.
John 16:4	But I have said these things to you⁺ so that when their hour might have come, you⁺ may remember that I said them to you⁺. Now I did not say these things to you⁺ from the beginning, because I was with you⁺.
John 16:5	But now I am going away to the One having sent Me, and none of you⁺ asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’
John 16:6	But because I have said these things to you⁺, sorrow has filled your⁺ heart.
John 16:7	But I say to you⁺ the truth, it is profitable for you⁺ that I should go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you⁺; but if I go, I will send Him to you⁺.
John 16:8	And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:
John 16:9	concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe in Me;
John 16:10	and concerning righteousness, because I am going away to the Father and you⁺ see Me no longer;
John 16:11	and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
John 16:12	I still have many things to say to you⁺, but you⁺ are not able to bear [them] now.
John 16:13	But when He, the Spirit of truth, shall come, He will guide you⁺ into all the truth. For He will not speak from Himself, but whatever He may hear, He will speak. And He will declare to you⁺ the things coming.
John 16:14	He will glorify Me, for He will take from that which [is] Mine and will declare [it] to you⁺.
John 16:15	All things, as many as the Father has, are Mine. Because of this, I said that He will take from that which [is] Mine and will declare [it] to you⁺.
John 16:16	A little while and you⁺ see Me no longer; and again a little while and you⁺ will look on Me.”
John 16:17	Therefore some of His disciples said to one another, “What is this that He says to us, ‘A little while and you⁺ do not see Me; and again a little while and you⁺ will look on Me,’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”
John 16:18	Therefore they were saying, “What is this that He says, ‘A little while’? We do not know what He is saying.”
John 16:19	Jesus knew that they were wanting to ask Him, and He said to them, “Do you⁺ inquire among one another concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while and you⁺ do not see Me, and again a little while and you⁺ will look on Me’?
John 16:20	Truly, truly, I say to you⁺ that you⁺ will weep and will lament, but the world will rejoice. You⁺ will be grieved, but your⁺ grief will turn to joy.
John 16:21	The woman has pain when she is giving birth, because her hour has come; but when she brings forth the child, she remembers the tribulation no longer, because of the joy that a man has been born into the world.
John 16:22	Therefore you⁺ also indeed have grief now; but I will see you⁺ again, and your⁺ heart will rejoice, and no one will take your⁺ joy from you⁺.
John 16:23	And in that day you⁺ will ask of Me nothing. Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, whatever you⁺ may ask the Father in My name, He will give you⁺.
John 16:24	Until now you⁺ have asked nothing in My name. Ask and you⁺ will receive, so that your⁺ joy may be full.
John 16:25	I have spoken these things to you⁺ in allegories; an hour is coming when I will speak to you⁺ no more in allegories, but I will report to you⁺ plainly concerning the Father.
John 16:26	In that day you⁺ will ask in My name, and I do not say to you⁺ that I will implore the Father for you⁺.
John 16:27	For the Father Himself loves you⁺, because you⁺ have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from God.
John 16:28	I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again I leave the world and go to the Father.”
John 16:29	His disciples say, “Behold, now You speak in openness, and You do not speak allegory.
John 16:30	Now we know that You know all things and have no need that anyone should ask You. In this we believe that You came forth from God.”
John 16:31	Jesus answered them, “Now do you⁺ believe?
John 16:32	Behold, an hour is coming and has come when you⁺ shall be scattered, each to [his] own, and Me you⁺ shall leave alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with Me.
John 16:33	I have spoken these things to you⁺ so that in Me you⁺ may have peace. In the world you⁺ have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”
John 17:1	Jesus spoke these things, and having lifted up His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,
John 17:2	as You gave to Him authority over all flesh, so that all whom You have given to Him, He may give to them eternal life.
John 17:3	Now this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You sent.
John 17:4	I glorified You on the earth, having completed the work that You have given to Me that I should do.
John 17:5	And now, glorify Me—You, Father, with Yourself—with the glory that I had with You before the world existed.
John 17:6	I revealed Your name to the men whom You gave to Me out of the world. They were Yours, and to Me You gave them, and they have kept Your word.
John 17:7	Now they have known that all things, as many as You have given to Me, are from You.
John 17:8	For the words that You gave to Me, I have given to them, and they received [them], and they knew truly that I came forth from You; and they believed that You sent Me.
John 17:9	I ask concerning them. I do not ask concerning the world, but concerning those whom You have given to Me, for they are Yours.
John 17:10	And all things of Mine are Yours, and Yours Mine, and I have been glorified in them.
John 17:11	And I am no longer in the world, and they are themselves in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, which You have given to Me, so that they may be one as We [are].
John 17:12	When I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, which You have given to Me. And I guarded [them], and none of them perished except the son of destruction, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:13	But now I am coming to You, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.
John 17:14	I have given to them Your word, and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
John 17:15	I do not ask that You would take them out of the world, but that You would keep them from evil.
John 17:16	They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.
John 17:17	Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
John 17:18	As You sent Me into the world, I also sent them into the world;
John 17:19	and for them I sanctify Myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.
John 17:20	But I do not ask for these only, but also for those believing in Me through their word,
John 17:21	that all may be one, as You, Father, [are] in Me, and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
John 17:22	And I have given to them the glory that You have given to Me, so that they may be one as We [are] one—
John 17:23	I in them and You in Me—so that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me and loved them even as You loved Me.
John 17:24	Father, [those] whom You have given to Me, I want that they also may be with Me where I am, so that they may behold My glory that You have given to Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
John 17:25	Righteous Father, although the world did not know You, yet I knew You, and these knew that You sent Me.
John 17:26	And I made known to them Your name and will make [it] known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
John 18:1	Having said these things, Jesus went out with His disciples beyond the Brook of Kidron, where there was a garden into which He and His disciples entered.
John 18:2	Now Judas, who is delivering Him up, also knew the place, because Jesus often gathered together there with His disciples.
John 18:3	Therefore Judas, having procured the cohort and officers from the chief priests and from the Pharisees, comes there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
John 18:4	Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon Him, having gone out, also said to them, “Whom do you⁺ seek?”
John 18:5	They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” He says to them, “I am [He].” Now Judas, who is delivering Him up, also had been standing with them.
John 18:6	Therefore when He said to them, “I am [He],” they drew toward the back and fell to the ground.
John 18:7	Again, therefore, He questioned them, “Whom do you⁺ seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
John 18:8	Jesus answered, “I said to you⁺ that I am [He]. Therefore if you⁺ seek Me, allow these to go away,”
John 18:9	so that the word that He had spoken might be fulfilled: “Those whom You have given Me, I did not lose [any] of them, not one.”
John 18:10	Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. Now the servant’s name was Malchus.
John 18:11	Therefore Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath! The cup that the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
John 18:12	Then the cohort and the commander and the officers of the Jews took hold of Jesus and bound Him.
John 18:13	And they led [Him] away to Annas first; for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was high priest the same year.
John 18:14	Now Caiaphas was the one having given counsel to the Jews that it is profitable for one man to perish for the people.
John 18:15	And Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Now since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also entered with Jesus into the court of the high priest.
John 18:16	But Peter stood at the door outside. Therefore the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought in Peter.
John 18:17	Therefore the servant girl, the doorkeeper, says to Peter, “Are you not also of the disciples of this man?” He says, “I am not.”
John 18:18	Now the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, for it was cold and they were warming themselves. And Peter was also standing with them and warming himself.
John 18:19	Then the high priest questioned Jesus concerning His disciples and concerning His teaching.
John 18:20	Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.
John 18:21	Why do you question Me? Question those having heard what I spoke to them. Behold, they know what I said.”
John 18:22	Now [on] His having said these things, one of the officers standing by gave a slap to Jesus, having said, “Do You answer the high priest thus?”
John 18:23	Jesus answered him, “If I spoke evil, testify concerning the evil; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
John 18:24	Then Annas sent Him, bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.
John 18:25	Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Therefore they said to him, “Are you not also one of His disciples?” He denied [it] and said, “I am not.”
John 18:26	One of the servants of the high priest, being a kinsman [of him] whose ear Peter had cut off, says, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”
John 18:27	Again, then, Peter denied [it], and immediately a rooster crowed.
John 18:28	Then they are leading Jesus from Caiaphas into the Praetorium. Now it was early, and they did not enter into the Praetorium, so that they should not be defiled, but might eat the Passover.
John 18:29	Therefore Pilate went forth out to them and said, “What accusation do you⁺ bring against this man?”
John 18:30	They answered and said to him, “If He were not doing evil, we would not have delivered Him up to you.”
John 18:31	Therefore Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves and judge Him according to your⁺ law.” The Jews said to him, “It is not permitted to us to put anyone to death,”
John 18:32	so that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled, which He said signifying what death He was about to die.
John 18:33	Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and he called Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?”
John 18:34	Jesus answered, “Do you say this from yourself, or did others say [it] to you concerning Me?”
John 18:35	Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your nation and the chief priests delivered You up to me. What did You do?”
John 18:36	Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, My attendants would fight so that I would not be delivered up to the Jews. But now My kingdom is not from here.”
John 18:37	Therefore Pilate said to Him, “Then You are a king!” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, so that I may testify to the truth. Everyone being of the truth hears My voice.”
John 18:38	Pilate says to Him, “What is truth?” And having said this, he went out again to the Jews and says to them, “I find no guilt in Him.
John 18:39	But it is your⁺ custom that I should release to you⁺ one at the Passover; therefore do you⁺ wish [that] I should release to you⁺ the King of the Jews?”
John 18:40	Then they cried out again, saying, “Not this one, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber.
John 19:1	So at that time Pilate took Jesus and flogged [Him].
John 19:2	And the soldiers, having twisted together a crown of thorns, put [it] on His head and cast around Him a purple garment.
John 19:3	And they were coming up to Him and saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!” And they kept giving Him slaps.
John 19:4	And Pilate went forth outside again, and he says to them, “Behold, I bring Him out to you⁺ so that you⁺ may know that I find no guilt in Him.”
John 19:5	Therefore Jesus went forth outside, wearing the thorny crown and the purple garment. And he says to them, “Behold the man!”
John 19:6	Therefore when the chief priests and the officers saw Him, they cried out, saying, “Crucify! Crucify!” Pilate says to them, “Take Him yourselves and crucify [Him], for I find no guilt in Him.”
John 19:7	The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to the law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God.”
John 19:8	Therefore when Pilate heard this word, he was even more afraid.
John 19:9	And he went into the Praetorium again, and he says to Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.
John 19:10	Therefore Pilate says to Him, “Do You not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?”
John 19:11	Jesus answered him, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Because of this, the one having delivered Me up to you has greater sin.”
John 19:12	From this [time] Pilate was seeking to release Him; but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this [man], you are not a friend of Caesar. Everyone making himself a king speaks against Caesar.”
John 19:13	Therefore Pilate, having heard these words, brought Jesus out and sat down upon the judgment seat at a place called The Stone Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
John 19:14	Now it was the Preparation of the Passover; it was about the sixth hour. And he says to the Jews, “Behold your⁺ King!”
John 19:15	So they cried out, “Away with Him, away! Crucify Him!” Pilate says to them, “Shall I crucify your⁺ King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.”
John 19:16	So then he delivered Him to them so that He might be crucified. Therefore they took Jesus.
John 19:17	And bearing [His] own cross, He went out to the [place] called Place of the Skull, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha,
John 19:18	where they crucified Him, and with Him two others, on this side and on that side, and Jesus in between.
John 19:19	And Pilate also wrote a title and put [it] on the cross. And it was written: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:20	Therefore many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Hebrew, in Latin, [and] in Greek.
John 19:21	Therefore the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that He said, ‘I am King of the Jews.’”
John 19:22	Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
John 19:23	Then the soldiers, when they crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was seamless, woven from the top all throughout.
John 19:24	Therefore they said to one another, “Let us not tear it, but let us cast a lot for it, whose it will be,” so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, the one saying: “They divided My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast a lot.” Therefore indeed the soldiers did these things.
John 19:25	Now His mother, and the sister of His mother, [and] Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene had been standing by the cross of Jesus.
John 19:26	Therefore Jesus, having seen [His] mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, says to [His] mother, “Woman, behold your son.”
John 19:27	Then He says to the disciple, “Behold your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her to [his] own.
John 19:28	After this, Jesus, knowing that now all things had been accomplished, so that the Scripture might be fulfilled, says, “I thirst.”
John 19:29	A vessel had been set [there], full of sour wine; therefore, having put on a stalk of hyssop a sponge filled with sour wine, they brought it to the mouth.
John 19:30	Therefore when Jesus took the sour wine, He said, “It has been finished.” And having bowed the head, He yielded up the spirit.
John 19:31	Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation, so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath—for that Sabbath was a high day—asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and [that] they might be taken away.
John 19:32	So the soldiers came, and indeed they broke the legs of the first, and of the other one having been crucified with Him.
John 19:33	But having come to Jesus, when they saw Him already having been dead, they did not break His legs.
John 19:34	But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and blood and water came out immediately.
John 19:35	And the one having seen has testified, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you⁺ also might believe.
John 19:36	For these things took place so that the Scripture might be fulfilled: “Not one bone of Him will be broken.”
John 19:37	And again, another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they pierced.”
John 19:38	And after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus (but concealed because of the fear of the Jews) asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave permission. Therefore he came and took away His body.
John 19:39	And Nicodemus, the one having come to Him by night at the first, also came bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred litras.
John 19:40	Therefore they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom among the Jews to prepare for burial.
John 19:41	Now there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one was yet having been laid.
John 19:42	Therefore because of the Preparation of the Jews [and] since the tomb was near, they laid Jesus there.
John 20:1	Now [on] the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early, it being still dark, and she sees the stone having been removed from the tomb.
John 20:2	Therefore she runs and comes to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and she says to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they laid Him!”
John 20:3	Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out and were coming to the tomb.
John 20:4	And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first.
John 20:5	And having stooped down, he sees the linen cloths lying [there], but he did not enter.
John 20:6	Then Simon Peter also comes, following him, and he entered into the tomb and sees the linen cloths lying [there],
John 20:7	and the soudarion that was upon His head not lying with the linen cloths but having been folded up in a place by itself.
John 20:8	So then the other disciple, the one having come to the tomb first, also entered; and he saw and believed.
John 20:9	For not yet did they understand the Scripture, that it is necessary for Him to rise out from the dead.
John 20:10	Therefore the disciples went away again to their own.
John 20:11	But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping. Then as she was weeping, she stooped down into the tomb,
John 20:12	and she sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
John 20:13	And they say to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She says to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I do not know where they laid Him.”
John 20:14	Having said these things, she turned back around, and she sees Jesus standing [there], and she had not known that it is Jesus.
John 20:15	Jesus says to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” Thinking that He is the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if you carried Him off, tell me where you laid Him, and I will take Him away.”
John 20:16	Jesus says to her, “Mary.” Having turned around, she says to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which is to say “Teacher”).
John 20:17	Jesus says to her, “Do not touch Me, for not yet have I ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your⁺ Father, and [to] My God and your⁺ God.’”
John 20:18	Mary Magdalene comes, bringing word to the disciples: “I have seen the Lord,” and [that] He had said these things to her.
John 20:19	Therefore, it being evening the same day, the first of the week, and the doors where the disciples were having been shut because of the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and He says to them, “Peace to you⁺.”
John 20:20	And having said this, He showed both His hands and His side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
John 20:21	Therefore Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you⁺. As the Father has sent Me forth, I also send you⁺.”
John 20:22	And having said this, He breathed on [them], and He says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
John 20:23	If you⁺ might forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you⁺ might retain any, they are retained.”
John 20:24	But Thomas, one of the Twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
John 20:25	Therefore the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails, and I put my finger into the mark of the nails, and I put my hands into His side, I will never believe.”
John 20:26	And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them, the doors having been shut. Jesus comes, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you⁺.”
John 20:27	Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here and see My hands, and bring your hand and put [it] into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.”
John 20:28	Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
John 20:29	Jesus says to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed [are] those not having seen, and having believed.”
John 20:30	Therefore indeed Jesus also did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
John 20:31	But these have been written so that you⁺ may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, believing, you⁺ may have life in His name.
John 21:1	After these things, Jesus revealed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. Now He revealed [Himself] in this way:
John 21:2	Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
John 21:3	Simon Peter says to them, “I am going to fish.” They say to him, “We are also coming with you.” They went out and went up into the boat, and in that night they caught nothing.
John 21:4	Now morning already having come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not know that it is Jesus.
John 21:5	Therefore Jesus says to them, “Children, do you⁺ have any food?” They answered Him, “No.”
John 21:6	And He said to them, “Cast the net to the right side of the boat, and you⁺ will find [some].” Therefore they cast, and they were not able to haul it in from the multitude of the fish.
John 21:7	Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved says to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Therefore Simon Peter, having heard that it is the Lord, put on the outer garment (for he was naked), and he cast himself into the sea.
John 21:8	And the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net with the fish, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away.
John 21:9	Therefore when they got out onto the land, they see a fire of coals lying, and a fish lying on [it], and bread.
John 21:10	Jesus says to them, “Bring some of the fish that you⁺ have now caught.”
John 21:11	Therefore Simon Peter went up and drew the net to the land, full of large fish, a hundred fifty-three. Even there being so many, the net was not torn.
John 21:12	Jesus says to them, “Come, have breakfast.” But none of the disciples dared to ask Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it is the Lord.
John 21:13	Jesus comes and takes the bread and gives [it] to them, and the fish likewise.
John 21:14	This [was] now the third time Jesus was revealed to the disciples, having been raised out from the dead.
John 21:15	Therefore when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, “Simon [son] of John, do you love Me more than these?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Feed My lambs.”
John 21:16	He says to him again a second time, “Simon [son] of John, do you love Me?” He says to Him, “Yes, Lord, You know that I dearly love You.” He says to him, “Shepherd My sheep.”
John 21:17	He says to him the third time, “Simon [son] of John, do you dearly love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you dearly love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I dearly love You.” Jesus says to him, “Feed My sheep.
John 21:18	Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you were girding yourself and were walking where you were wanting; but when you shall be old, you will stretch forth your hands, and another will gird you and will bring [you] where you do not want.”
John 21:19	Now He said this, signifying by what death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, “Follow Me.”
John 21:20	Having turned, Peter sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined on His bosom at the supper and said, “Lord, who is it who is delivering You up?”
John 21:21	Therefore, having seen him, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this one?”
John 21:22	Jesus says to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what [is it] to you? You follow Me!”
John 21:23	Therefore this saying went out among the brothers that this disciple does not die. But Jesus did not say to him that he does not die, but, “If I want him to remain until I come, what [is it] to you?”
John 21:24	This is the disciple testifying concerning these things, and the one having written these things. And we know that his testimony is true.
John 21:25	Now there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if every one should be written, I suppose not even the world itself will have space for the books being written.
Acts 1:1	The first account, indeed, I made concerning all the things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Acts 1:2	until the day [in] which, having given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom He chose, He was taken up,
Acts 1:3	to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, with many convincing proofs, being seen by them through forty days and speaking the things concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 1:4	And being assembled together, He instructed them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father: “That which you⁺ heard of Me;
Acts 1:5	for John indeed baptized with water, but you⁺ will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days after these.”
Acts 1:6	Therefore indeed those having come together were asking Him, saying, “Lord, at this time do You restore the kingdom to Israel?”
Acts 1:7	And He said to them, “It is not yours⁺ to know times or seasons that the Father set by [His] own authority.
Acts 1:8	But you⁺ will receive power [at] the Holy Spirit having come upon you⁺, and you⁺ will be My witnesses, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:9	And having said these things, [in] their looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him from their eyes.
Acts 1:10	And as they were looking intently into heaven [in] His going, then behold, two men in white apparel stood by them,
Acts 1:11	who also said, “Men, Galileans, why do you⁺ stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, having been taken up from you⁺ into heaven, will thus come in that manner you⁺ saw Him going into heaven.”
Acts 1:12	Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, holding a Sabbath’s journey.
Acts 1:13	And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, both Peter and John, and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [son] of James.
Acts 1:14	All these were steadfastly continuing with one accord in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
Acts 1:15	And in these days, Peter, having risen up in the midst of the brothers, said (and the multitude of names at the same [place] was about a hundred twenty),
Acts 1:16	“Men, brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to have been fulfilled that the Holy Spirit spoke beforehand by the mouth of David concerning Judas, the one having become guide to those having arrested Jesus.
Acts 1:17	For he was numbered among us and was allotted the share of this ministry.”
Acts 1:18	(Then indeed this [man] acquired a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and having fallen headlong, he burst open in the middle, and all his intestines poured out.
Acts 1:19	And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
Acts 1:20	“For it has been written in the book of Psalms: ‘May his homestead become desolate, and let there be no one dwelling in it,’ and, ‘May another take his oversight.’
Acts 1:21	Therefore it is necessary for the men having accompanied us in all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
Acts 1:22	having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, one of these, to become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
Acts 1:23	And they set two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was called upon [as] Justus, and Matthias.
Acts 1:24	And having prayed, they said, “You, Lord, knower of the heart of all, show which one of these two You chose
Acts 1:25	to take the place of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas turned aside to go to [his] own place.”
Acts 1:26	And they gave lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Acts 2:1	And in the arriving of the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same [place].
Acts 2:2	And suddenly a sound like a violent rushing of wind came out of heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3	And there appeared to them dividing tongues as of fire, and they sat upon each one of them.
Acts 2:4	And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit was giving to them to declare forth.
Acts 2:5	Now there were Jews dwelling in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.
Acts 2:6	Now this sound having happened, the multitude came together and was confounded, because each one was hearing them speaking in [his] own language.
Acts 2:7	And they were amazed and were marveling, saying, “Behold, are not all these who are speaking Galileans?
Acts 2:8	And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
Acts 2:9	Parthians and Medes and Elamites; and those inhabiting Mesopotamia, also Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Acts 2:10	both Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya that [are] around Cyrene; and those visiting from Rome,
Acts 2:11	both Jews and converts; Cretans and Arabs—we hear them speaking [in] our own tongues the great things of God!”
Acts 2:12	And all were amazed and were perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this wish to be?”
Acts 2:13	But others, mocking, were saying, “They are full of new wine!”
Acts 2:14	But Peter, having stood up with the Eleven, lifted up his voice and declared forth to them: “Men of Judea and all those inhabiting Jerusalem, let this be known to you⁺, and give heed to my words.
Acts 2:15	For these are not drunkards, as you⁺ suppose, for it is the third hour of the day!
Acts 2:16	But this is that having been spoken by the prophet Joel:
Acts 2:17	‘And it will come to pass in the last days, God says, [that] I will pour out from My Spirit upon all flesh, and your⁺ sons and your⁺ daughters will prophesy, and your⁺ young men will see visions, and your⁺ old men will dream dreams.
Acts 2:18	And even on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out from My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Acts 2:19	And I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
Acts 2:20	The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming Day of the Lord, great and glorious.
Acts 2:21	And it will come to pass [that] everyone who shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2:22	Men, Israelites, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man having been set forth by God to you⁺ by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did through Him in your⁺ midst, as you yourselves know,
Acts 2:23	Him delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, you⁺ put to death, having crucified by lawless hands—
Acts 2:24	whom God raised up, having loosed the agony of death, inasmuch as it was not possible [for] Him to be held by it.
Acts 2:25	For David says about Him: ‘I foresaw the Lord before me through all, because He is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken.
Acts 2:26	Because of this my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced, and now also my flesh will dwell in hope,
Acts 2:27	for You will not abandon my soul into Hades, nor will You give Your Holy One to see decay.
Acts 2:28	You made known to me the paths of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’
Acts 2:29	Men, brothers, it is permitted [me] to speak with freedom to you⁺ concerning the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is among us unto this day,
Acts 2:30	being therefore a prophet and knowing that God swore to him with an oath to seat one out of the fruit of his loins upon his throne.
Acts 2:31	Having foreseen, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned into Hades, nor did His flesh see decay.
Acts 2:32	This Jesus God raised up, of which we all are witnesses.
Acts 2:33	Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He poured out this which you⁺ both see and hear.
Acts 2:34	For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand
Acts 2:35	until I place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet.”’
Acts 2:36	Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God made Him both Lord and Christ—this Jesus whom you⁺ crucified.”
Acts 2:37	And having heard, they were pierced to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?”
Acts 2:38	And Peter says to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you⁺, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your⁺ sins, and you⁺ will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:39	For the promise is to you⁺ and to your⁺ children and to all those at a distance, as many as the Lord our God shall summon.”
Acts 2:40	And he earnestly testified many other words and was exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”
Acts 2:41	Therefore those indeed having received his word were baptized, and on that day about three thousand souls were added.
Acts 2:42	Now they were steadfastly continuing in the teaching of the apostles and in the fellowship, in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.
Acts 2:43	And fear was coming upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were taking place through the apostles.
Acts 2:44	And all those believing were in the same [place] and were having all things in common.
Acts 2:45	And they were selling the possessions and the goods and were dividing them to all, as anyone had need.
Acts 2:46	And every day they were steadfastly continuing with one accord in the temple and breaking bread at each house. They were partaking of food with gladness and sincerity of heart,
Acts 2:47	praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord kept adding every day to the same those being saved.
Acts 3:1	Now Peter and John were going up into the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth.
Acts 3:2	And a certain man was being carried, being lame from his mother’s womb, whom they placed every day at the temple gate called Beautiful to ask for alms from those going into the temple,
Acts 3:3	who, having seen Peter and John being about to enter into the temple, was asking to receive alms.
Acts 3:4	And Peter, having looked intently upon him, with John, said, “Look toward us!”
Acts 3:5	And he began to give heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
Acts 3:6	But Peter said, “Silver and gold, unto me there is none; but what I have, this I give to you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”
Acts 3:7	And having taken him by the right hand, he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
Acts 3:8	And leaping up, he stood and began walking, and he entered into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
Acts 3:9	And all the people saw him walking and praising God,
Acts 3:10	and they recognized him, that he was the one sitting for alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at that having happened to him.
Acts 3:11	Now of him clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the colonnade called Solomon’s, greatly amazed.
Acts 3:12	But having seen, Peter answered to the people: “Men, Israelites, why do you⁺ wonder at this? Or why do you⁺ look intently on us as if by [our] own power or godliness [we] have made him to walk?
Acts 3:13	The God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus, whom indeed you⁺ delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, that one having adjudged to release [Him].
Acts 3:14	But you⁺ denied the Holy and Righteous One and requested a man, a murderer, to be granted to you⁺.
Acts 3:15	And you⁺ killed the Author of life, whom God raised out from the dead, of which we are witnesses.
Acts 3:16	And on the faith in His name, this [man] whom you⁺ see and know, His name strengthened; and the faith that [is] through Him has given to him this complete soundness before all of you⁺.
Acts 3:17	And now, brothers, I know that you⁺ acted in ignorance, as your⁺ rulers also.
Acts 3:18	But what God foretold through the mouth of all the prophets, [that] His Christ should suffer, He thus fulfilled.
Acts 3:19	Repent, therefore, and turn back, for the blotting out of your⁺ sins,
Acts 3:20	so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and [that] He may send the One having been appointed to you⁺, Christ Jesus,
Acts 3:21	whom indeed it is necessary for heaven to receive until the times of restoration of all things, of which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from the age.
Acts 3:22	Indeed Moses said, ‘The Lord your⁺ God will raise up to you⁺ a prophet like me out of your⁺ brothers. You⁺ will listen to Him in all things, as many as He might say to you⁺.
Acts 3:23	And it will come to pass [that] every soul who might not heed that prophet will be utterly destroyed out of the people.’
Acts 3:24	And also all the prophets from Samuel, and those subsequently, as many as have spoken—they also proclaimed these days.
Acts 3:25	You⁺ are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your⁺ fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
Acts 3:26	God, having raised up His servant, sent Him first to you⁺, blessing you⁺ in turning away each one from your⁺ wickednesses.”
Acts 4:1	And of them speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Acts 4:2	being distressed because of their teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection out from the dead.
Acts 4:3	And they laid hands on them and put [them] in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.
Acts 4:4	But many of those having heard the word believed, and the number of the men became about five thousand.
Acts 4:5	And it came to pass on the next day [that] their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem,
Acts 4:6	and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent.
Acts 4:7	And having placed them in the midst, they began to inquire, “In what power or in what name did you⁺ do this?”
Acts 4:8	Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders,
Acts 4:9	if we are being examined this day as to a good work [to] the ailing man, how he has been healed,
Acts 4:10	let it be known to all [of] you⁺, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth—whom you⁺ crucified, whom God raised out from the dead—in Him this [man] stands before you⁺ sound.
Acts 4:11	This is ‘the stone having been rejected by you⁺, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
Acts 4:12	And there is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
Acts 4:13	Now seeing the boldness of Peter and of John, and having understood that they are unschooled and ordinary men, they were astonished. And they recognized them, that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:14	And beholding the man having been healed standing with them, they had nothing to contradict.
Acts 4:15	But having commanded them to go outside the Council, they began to confer with one another,
Acts 4:16	saying, “What shall we do to these men? For truly that a noteworthy sign has come to pass through them [is] evident to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it].
Acts 4:17	But so that it might not spread further on among the people, let us threaten them to speak no longer in this name to [any] man.”
Acts 4:18	And having summoned them, they commanded [them] not to speak, nor to teach at all, in the name of Jesus.
Acts 4:19	But Peter and John, answering, said to them, “Whether it is right before God to listen to you⁺ rather than God, you⁺ must judge.
Acts 4:20	For we are unable to stop speaking [about] what we saw and heard.”
Acts 4:21	And having further threatened [them], they let them go, finding no way they might punish them, on account of the people, because all were glorifying God for that having happened.
Acts 4:22	For the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was more than forty years [old].
Acts 4:23	Now having been let go, they came to [their] own and reported how much the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Acts 4:24	And having heard, they lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, You made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that [is] in them,
Acts 4:25	having spoken by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of Your servant, our father David: ‘Why did the Gentiles rage and the peoples devise vain things?
Acts 4:26	The kings of the earth took [their] stand, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ.’
Acts 4:27	For in truth, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together in this city against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed,
Acts 4:28	to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predetermined to happen.
Acts 4:29	And now, Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all boldness,
Acts 4:30	while You stretch out Your hand for healing and signs and wonders to take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.”
Acts 4:31	And [on] their having prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and were speaking the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:32	Now the multitude of those having believed were one [in] heart and soul, and no one claimed anything of that being his to be his own, but all things were to them in common.
Acts 4:33	And [with] great power the apostles were giving testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:34	For there was not even anyone in need among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling [them], were bringing the proceeds of what is sold
Acts 4:35	and were laying [them] at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was made to each just as anyone had need.
Acts 4:36	Now Joseph having been called Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a Cypriot by birth,
Acts 4:37	having sold a field being his, brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Acts 5:1	Now a certain man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a property,
Acts 5:2	and he kept back from the proceeds, also the wife being aware of [it], and having brought a certain portion, he laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Acts 5:3	But Peter said, “Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart [for] you to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back from the proceeds of the land?
Acts 5:4	Remaining, did it not remain yours? And having been sold, was it [not] in [your] own authority? Why did you purpose this deed in your heart? You did not lie to men but to God!”
Acts 5:5	And hearing these words, Ananias, having fallen down, breathed his last. And great fear came upon all those hearing.
Acts 5:6	And the young ones, having arisen, wrapped him up, and having carried [him] out, buried [him].
Acts 5:7	Now it came to pass about three hours afterward [that] his wife also came in, not knowing that having happened.
Acts 5:8	And Peter responded to her, “Tell me if you⁺ sold the land for so much?” And she said, “Yes, for so much.”
Acts 5:9	But Peter [said] to her, “Why [is it] that you⁺ have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those having buried your husband [are] at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Acts 5:10	And immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men, having come in, found her dead; and having carried [her] out, they buried [her] by her husband.
Acts 5:11	And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all those hearing these things.
Acts 5:12	Now by the hands of the apostles, many signs and wonders were happening among the people, and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Acts 5:13	Now none of the rest dared to join them, but the people were magnifying them.
Acts 5:14	And more believing in the Lord were added, multitudes of both men and women,
Acts 5:15	so as even to bring out the sick into the streets and to put [them] on cots and mats, so that of Peter coming, at least the shadow might envelop some of them.
Acts 5:16	Now the multitude from the cities surrounding Jerusalem also were coming together, bringing the sick and [those] being tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
Acts 5:17	But the high priest, having risen up, and all those with him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy,
Acts 5:18	and they laid the hands on the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Acts 5:19	But during the night an angel of the Lord, having opened the doors of the jail and having brought them out, said,
Acts 5:20	“Go, and having stood in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this life.”
Acts 5:21	And having heard, they entered into the temple at the dawn and were teaching. Now the high priest having come, and those with him, they called together the Council—even all the senate of the sons of Israel—and they sent to the prison house to bring them.
Acts 5:22	But the officers, having come, did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported back,
Acts 5:23	saying, “We found the prison house shut with all security and the guards standing before the doors; but having opened [them], we found no one inside.”
Acts 5:24	Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were perplexed concerning them, what this might be.
Acts 5:25	And a certain one, having come, reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you⁺ put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”
Acts 5:26	Then the captain, having gone with the officers, was bringing them, not with force—for they were afraid of the people, lest they might be stoned.
Acts 5:27	And having brought them, they set [them] in the Council. And the high priest questioned them,
Acts 5:28	saying, “By a charge we commanded you⁺ not to teach in this name, and behold, you⁺ have filled Jerusalem with your⁺ teaching, and you⁺ intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.”
Acts 5:29	But Peter and the apostles, answering, said, “It is necessary to obey God rather than men.
Acts 5:30	The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you⁺ killed, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
Acts 5:31	God exalted Him to His right hand [as] Prince and Savior to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
Acts 5:32	And we are witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those obeying Him.”
Acts 5:33	And having heard, they were cut, and they were intending to put them to death.
Acts 5:34	But a certain [man] having risen up in the Council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law honored by all the people, commanded [them] to put the men outside for a short while.
Acts 5:35	And he said to them, “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what you⁺ are about to do with these men.
Acts 5:36	For before these days, Theudas rose up, affirming himself to be somebody—to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined—who was put to death, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed; and it came to nothing.
Acts 5:37	After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration and drew away people after him. And he perished, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
Acts 5:38	And now I say to you⁺, withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this purpose or this work may be from men, it will be overthrown.
Acts 5:39	But if it is from God, you⁺ will not be able to overthrow them, lest perhaps you⁺ would be found fighting against God.”
Acts 5:40	And they were persuaded by him. And having summoned the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the name of Jesus, and they released [them].
Acts 5:41	Therefore they indeed departed from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
Acts 5:42	And every day, in the temple and in the house, they did not cease teaching and proclaiming the good news [that] Jesus [is] the Christ.
Acts 6:1	Now in these days of the disciples multiplying, there arose a grumbling of the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution.
Acts 6:2	So the Twelve, having summoned the multitude of the disciples, said, “It is not desirable [for] us, having neglected the word of God, to attend tables.
Acts 6:3	Therefore, brothers, select from yourselves seven men being well attested, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint over this task.
Acts 6:4	And we will steadfastly continue in prayer and the ministry of the word.”
Acts 6:5	And the statement was pleasing before all the multitude. And they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and [of] the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas, a convert of Antioch,
Acts 6:6	whom they set before the apostles. And having prayed, they laid the hands on them.
Acts 6:7	And the word of God kept increasing, and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem was multiplied exceedingly, and a great multitude of the priests were becoming obedient to the faith.
Acts 6:8	Now Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people.
Acts 6:9	But there arose certain ones of those of the synagogue called Freedmen—including Cyrenians and Alexandrians and those from Cilicia and Asia—disputing with Stephen.
Acts 6:10	And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by whom he was speaking.
Acts 6:11	Then they suborned men to say, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.”
Acts 6:12	And they stirred up the people and the elders and the scribes; and having come upon [him], they seized him and brought [him] to the Council.
Acts 6:13	And they set up false witnesses, saying, “This man does not stop speaking words against this holy place and the law.
Acts 6:14	For we have heard him saying that this Jesus of Nazareth will demolish this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us.”
Acts 6:15	And having looked intently on him, all the ones sitting in the Council saw his face as the face of an angel.
Acts 7:1	And the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Acts 7:2	And he began to speak: “Men, brothers and fathers, listen! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, being in Mesopotamia before his dwelling in Haran,
Acts 7:3	and He said to him, ‘Go out of your country and from your kindred, and come into the land that I will show to you.’
Acts 7:4	Then, having gone out from the land of the Chaldeans, he dwelt in Haran. And from there, after his father died, He transferred him into this land in which you⁺ now dwell.
Acts 7:5	And He did not give to him an inheritance in it, not even the length of a foot; but He promised to give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him—there being to him no child.
Acts 7:6	And God spoke thus, that his seed will be a sojourner in a strange land, and they will enslave it and will mistreat [it] four hundred years.
Acts 7:7	‘And the nation to which they will be in bondage, I will judge,’ God said, ‘and after these things they will come out and will serve Me in this place.’
Acts 7:8	And He gave to him the covenant of circumcision; and thus he begat Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day, and Isaac Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
Acts 7:9	And the patriarchs, having envied Joseph, sold [him] into Egypt. And God was with him,
Acts 7:10	and He rescued him out of all his tribulations, and He gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he appointed him ruler over Egypt and over all his house.
Acts 7:11	And there was a famine upon all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers were not finding sustenance.
Acts 7:12	Now Jacob, having heard [there] is grain in Egypt, sent forth our fathers first.
Acts 7:13	And on the second time, Joseph was made known to his brothers, and the family of Joseph became known to Pharaoh.
Acts 7:14	And Joseph, having sent, called for his father Jacob and all [his] kindred, seventy-five souls in all.
Acts 7:15	And Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died—he and our fathers,
Acts 7:16	and they were carried over into Shechem and were placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price of silver from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.
Acts 7:17	Now as the time of the promise that God swore to Abraham was drawing near, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt,
Acts 7:18	until there arose another king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Acts 7:19	Having dealt treacherously with our kindred, this one mistreated our fathers, making [them] expose their infants, that they would not live.
Acts 7:20	In that time Moses was born (and he was beautiful to God), who was brought up three months in the house of [his] father.
Acts 7:21	And [on] his having been exposed, the daughter of Pharaoh took him up and brought him up for herself for a son.
Acts 7:22	And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.
Acts 7:23	Now when a period of forty years was fulfilled to him, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel.
Acts 7:24	And having seen a certain one being wronged, he defended and did vengeance for the one being oppressed, having struck down the Egyptian.
Acts 7:25	And he was supposing his brothers to understand that God is giving them salvation by his hand, but they did not understand.
Acts 7:26	And on the following day, he appeared to those who were quarreling and urged them to peace, having said, ‘Men, you⁺ are brothers. Why do you⁺ wrong one another?’
Acts 7:27	But the one mistreating the neighbor pushed him away, having said, ‘Who appointed you ruler and judge over us?
Acts 7:28	Do you want to kill me the same way you killed the Egyptian yesterday?’
Acts 7:29	Now at this word Moses fled, and he became a sojourner in the land of Midian, where he begat two sons.
Acts 7:30	And forty years having been fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire of a bush.
Acts 7:31	And Moses, having seen, marveled at the vision. And [on] his coming near to behold, there was the voice of the Lord:
Acts 7:32	‘I [am] the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob.’ And Moses, having become terrified, did not dare to look.
Acts 7:33	And the Lord said to him, ‘Loose the sandal of your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
Acts 7:34	I have surely seen the oppression of My people in Egypt, and I heard their groans, and I came down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt.’
Acts 7:35	This Moses, whom they rejected, having said, ‘Who appointed you ruler and judge?’—this one whom God sent [as] both ruler and redeemer by the hand of the angel having appeared to him in the bush—
Acts 7:36	this one led them out, having done wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
Acts 7:37	This is the Moses having said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you⁺ a prophet like me from among your⁺ brothers.’
Acts 7:38	This is the one having been in the congregation in the wilderness with the angel speaking to him in Mount Sinai, and [with] our fathers, who received living oracles to give to us,
Acts 7:39	to whom our fathers were not willing to be obedient, but pushed away, and they turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
Acts 7:40	having said to Aaron, ‘Make us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses, who brought us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what happened to him.’
Acts 7:41	And in those days they made a calf and offered a sacrifice to the idol, and they were rejoicing in the works of their hands.
Acts 7:42	But God turned away and delivered them to worship the host of heaven, as it has been written in the book of the prophets: ‘Did you⁺ offer slain beasts and sacrifices to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Acts 7:43	And you⁺ took up the tabernacle of Molech and the star of your⁺ god Rephan, the images that you⁺ made to worship them; and I will remove you⁺ beyond Babylon.’
Acts 7:44	The tabernacle of the Testimony was with our fathers in the wilderness, just as the One speaking to Moses had commanded [him] to make it according to the pattern that he had seen,
Acts 7:45	and which, having received [it] by succession, our fathers brought in with Joshua in taking possession of the nations whom God drove out from the face of our fathers, until the days of David,
Acts 7:46	who found favor before God and asked to find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
Acts 7:47	But Solomon built for Him a house.
Acts 7:48	But the Most High does not dwell in hand-made [houses]. As the prophet says:
Acts 7:49	‘Heaven [is] unto Me a throne, and the earth a footstool for My feet. What kind of house will you⁺ build for Me, says the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?
Acts 7:50	Did not My hand make all these things?’
Acts 7:51	You⁺ stiff-necked and uncircumcised in hearts and ears! You⁺ always resist the Holy Spirit! As [did] your⁺ fathers, also you⁺ [do].
Acts 7:52	Which of the prophets did your⁺ fathers not persecute? And they killed those having foretold about the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you⁺ have now become betrayers and murderers,
Acts 7:53	[you] who received the law by the ordination of angels, and did not keep [it].”
Acts 7:54	Now hearing these things, they were cut in their hearts, and they were gnashing the teeth at him.
Acts 7:55	But being full of the Holy Spirit, having looked intently into heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
Acts 7:56	and he said, “Behold, I see the heavens having been opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
Acts 7:57	And having cried out in a loud voice, they held their ears and rushed upon him with one accord,
Acts 7:58	and having cast [him] out of the city, they began to stone [him]. And the witnesses laid aside their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Acts 7:59	And [as] they were stoning Stephen, he was calling out and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Acts 7:60	And having fallen on [his] knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not place this sin on them.” And having said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 8:1	And Saul was there consenting to his killing. And on that day a great persecution arose against the church that [was] in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria.
Acts 8:2	Now devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
Acts 8:3	But Saul was destroying the church. Entering into the houses and dragging off men and women, he was delivering [them] to prison.
Acts 8:4	Then indeed those having been scattered went about preaching the word.
Acts 8:5	Now Philip, having gone down to a city of Samaria, was proclaiming the Christ to them.
Acts 8:6	And the crowds, with one accord, were giving heed to the things being spoken by Philip in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was performing.
Acts 8:7	For [from] many of those having unclean spirits they were coming out, crying in a loud voice. And many having been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Acts 8:8	So there was great joy in that city.
Acts 8:9	Now a certain man named Simon had been formerly practicing sorcery in the city and amazing the people of Samaria, declaring himself to be someone great,
Acts 8:10	to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the power of God that [is] called Great.”
Acts 8:11	Now they were giving heed to him because for a long time he had amazed them with the magic arts.
Acts 8:12	But when they believed Philip proclaiming the gospel concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Acts 8:13	And Simon himself also believed, and having been baptized, he was steadfastly continuing with Philip. And beholding the signs and great miracles being performed, he was amazed.
Acts 8:14	Now the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John,
Acts 8:15	who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:16	For He was not yet fallen upon any of them, but they had only been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 8:17	Then they began laying the hands upon them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:18	Now Simon, having seen that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, offered to them money,
Acts 8:19	saying, “Give also to me this authority, so that on whomever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 8:20	But Peter said to him, “Your silver with you, may it be to destruction, because you thought the gift of God was to be obtained by money!
Acts 8:21	To you there is no part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Acts 8:22	Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours, and pray earnestly to the Lord, if indeed the intent of your heart will be forgiven you.
Acts 8:23	For I see you being in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.”
Acts 8:24	And Simon, answering, said, “You⁺ pray earnestly to the Lord on behalf of me, so that nothing of which you⁺ have spoken may come upon me.”
Acts 8:25	Then they indeed, having earnestly testified and having spoken the word of the Lord, traveled back to Jerusalem, and they were preaching the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Acts 8:26	Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the road going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desert.)
Acts 8:27	And having risen up, he went. And behold, a man, an Ethiopian eunuch, a potentate of Kandake, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Acts 8:28	And he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Acts 8:29	And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and join yourself to this chariot.”
Acts 8:30	And Philip, having run up, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and he said, “Do you then understand what you are reading?”
Acts 8:31	And he said, “How indeed could I be able, unless someone will guide me?” And he invited Philip, having come up, to sit with him.
Acts 8:32	Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb before the one shearing it [is] silent, so He does not open His mouth.
Acts 8:33	In His humiliation, justice was taken away from Him. Who will describe His generation? For His life is removed from the earth.”
Acts 8:34	And the eunuch, answering, said to Philip, “I beseech you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other?”
Acts 8:35	And Philip, having opened his mouth and having begun from this Scripture, proclaimed the good news to him—Jesus.
Acts 8:36	And as they were going along the road, they came upon some water, and the eunuch says, “Behold, water! What prevents my being baptized?”
Acts 8:37	
Acts 8:38	And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they both went down to the water—both Philip and the eunuch—and he baptized him.
Acts 8:39	Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer. For he went on his way rejoicing.
Acts 8:40	But Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming the gospel to all the towns until his coming to Caesarea.
Acts 9:1	Now Saul, still breathing out threats and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the high priest,
Acts 9:2	requested letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any being of the Way, both men and women, having bound [them], he might bring [them] to Jerusalem.
Acts 9:3	Now in going, it came to pass [that] he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
Acts 9:4	And having fallen on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
Acts 9:5	And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And [He said], “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Acts 9:6	“But rise up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you that which it is necessary for you to do.”
Acts 9:7	And the men traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice indeed, but seeing no one.
Acts 9:8	And Saul rose up from the ground, but his eyes having been opened, he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought [him] to Damascus.
Acts 9:9	And he was three days without seeing, and he did not eat, nor did he drink.
Acts 9:10	Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Behold, [it is] I, Lord.”
Acts 9:11	And the Lord [said] to him, “Having risen up, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas [the one] of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,
Acts 9:12	and he saw in a vision a man named Ananias having come and having put the hands on him so that he might see again.”
Acts 9:13	But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evils he did to Your saints in Jerusalem.
Acts 9:14	And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on Your name.”
Acts 9:15	But the Lord said to him, “Go, for this [man] is to Me a vessel of choice to carry My name before the Gentiles, and also kings and the sons of Israel.
Acts 9:16	For I will show to him how much it is necessary for him to suffer for My name.”
Acts 9:17	And Ananias went away and entered into the house; and having laid the hands upon him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, the One having appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may see again and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 9:18	And immediately [something] like scales fell from his eyes, and he saw again. And having risen up, he was baptized,
Acts 9:19	and having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Acts 9:20	And immediately he began proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Acts 9:21	And all those hearing were amazed and were saying, “Is this not the one having ravaged those in Jerusalem calling on this name? And he had come here for this, so that he might bring them, having been bound, to the chief priests.”
Acts 9:22	But Saul was empowered all the more and kept confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Acts 9:23	Now when many days had passed, the Jews plotted together to kill him,
Acts 9:24	but their plot became known to Saul. And now they were closely watching the gates day and also night so that they might kill him.
Acts 9:25	But having taken [him] by night, his disciples let him down through the wall, having lowered [him] in a basket.
Acts 9:26	And having arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to join the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple.
Acts 9:27	But Barnabas, having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Acts 9:28	And he was coming in and going out with them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Acts 9:29	And he was speaking and was debating with the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Acts 9:30	But the brothers, having known, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Acts 9:31	Then indeed the church throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified. And going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Acts 9:32	Now it came to pass [that] Peter, passing through all [quarters], also went down to the saints inhabiting Lydda.
Acts 9:33	And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed, lying on a bed for eight years.
Acts 9:34	And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise up and make the bed for yourself.” And immediately he rose up,
Acts 9:35	and all those inhabiting Lydda and Sharon saw him [and] turned to the Lord.
Acts 9:36	Now in Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha (which, translated, is called Dorcas). She was full of good works and of alms that she continually did.
Acts 9:37	But in those days it came to pass [that] having become sick, she died. And having washed [her], they put [her] in an upper room.
Acts 9:38	Now Lydda being near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, imploring, “Do not delay to come to us.”
Acts 9:39	And Peter, having risen up, went with them, who, having arrived, brought [him] into the upper room. And all the widows stood by him, weeping and showing the tunics and garments that Dorcas had made [while] being with them.
Acts 9:40	And Peter, having put all outside and having bowed the knees, prayed. And having turned to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise!” And she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up.
Acts 9:41	And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up. And having called the saints and the widows, he presented her being alive.
Acts 9:42	And it became known throughout all of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Acts 9:43	And it came to pass [that] he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
Acts 10:1	Now a certain man in Caesarea named Cornelius [was] a centurion of the cohort that is called Italian,
Acts 10:2	devout and fearing God with all his household, doing many alms to the people and praying to God through all.
Acts 10:3	He saw clearly in a vision, as it was about the ninth hour of the day, an angel of God having come to him and having said to him, “Cornelius!”
Acts 10:4	And having looked intently at him, and having become afraid, he said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God.
Acts 10:5	And now send men to Joppa and summon a certain Simon, who is called Peter.
Acts 10:6	He lodges with a certain Simon, a tanner whose house is by the sea.”
Acts 10:7	And when the angel speaking to him went away, having called two of the servants and a devout soldier of those attending him,
Acts 10:8	and having related all things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Acts 10:9	Now on the next day, [in] their journeying and approaching the city, Peter went up on the housetop about the sixth hour to pray.
Acts 10:10	And he became hungry and desired to eat. But [in] their preparing, a trance fell upon him,
Acts 10:11	and he sees heaven opening and a certain vessel as a great sheet descending, being let down upon the earth by four corners,
Acts 10:12	in which were all the quadrupeds and creeping things of the earth and birds of heaven.
Acts 10:13	And a voice came to him: “Having risen up, Peter, kill and eat!”
Acts 10:14	But Peter said, “In no way, Lord! For never have I eaten anything common or unclean.”
Acts 10:15	And a voice [came] again to him for the second time: “What God has cleansed, you do not call common.”
Acts 10:16	Now this took place for three times, and immediately the vessel was taken up into heaven.
Acts 10:17	And while Peter was perplexed in himself [as to] what the vision that he had seen might be, behold, the men having been sent from Cornelius, having inquired for the house of Simon, stood at the gate.
Acts 10:18	And having called out, they were asking if Simon who [is] called Peter is lodged here.
Acts 10:19	And of Peter thinking over the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you.
Acts 10:20	But having risen, go down and proceed with them, doubting nothing, because I have sent them.”
Acts 10:21	And Peter, having gone down to the men, said, “Behold, I am whom you⁺ seek; what [is] the cause for which you⁺ are here?”
Acts 10:22	And they said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a man righteous and fearing God—and being well testified to by all the nation of the Jews—was divinely instructed by a holy angel to send for you to his house and to hear a message from you.”
Acts 10:23	Therefore, having called them in, he lodged [them]. And on the next day, having risen up, he went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
Acts 10:24	And on the next day, he entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was expecting them, having called together his relatives and close friends.
Acts 10:25	And as Peter was entering, Cornelius, having met him, having fallen at [his] feet, worshiped [him].
Acts 10:26	But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Rise up, I myself am also a man.”
Acts 10:27	And talking with him, he entered, and he finds many having gathered together.
Acts 10:28	And he was saying to them, “You⁺ know how it is unlawful for a man, a Jew, to unite himself or to come near to a foreigner. But God showed to me not to call a man common or unclean.
Acts 10:29	Therefore also without objection I came, having been summoned. I ask, therefore for what reason did you⁺ summon me?”
Acts 10:30	And Cornelius was saying, “Four days ago until this hour, the ninth hour, I was praying in my house; and behold, a man in bright apparel stood before me,
Acts 10:31	and he said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer was heard, and your alms have been remembered before God.
Acts 10:32	Therefore send to Joppa and call for Simon, who is called Peter; he lodges in the house of Simon, a tanner by the sea.’
Acts 10:33	Therefore I sent to you at once, and you did well, having come. Now, therefore, we are all present before God to hear all the things having been commanded you by the Lord.”
Acts 10:34	And Peter, having opened the mouth, said, “Of a truth I understand that God is not One who shows partiality,
Acts 10:35	but in every nation the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him,
Acts 10:36	the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ—this One is Lord of all.
Acts 10:37	You⁺ yourselves know the declaration having come through all Judea, having begun from Galilee, after the baptism that John proclaimed:
Acts 10:38	Jesus from Nazareth—how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power—who went about doing good and healing all those being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.
Acts 10:39	And we [are] witnesses of all that He did—both in the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem—whom they also put to death, having hanged [Him] on a tree.
Acts 10:40	This One God raised up on the third day and gave Him to become manifest,
Acts 10:41	not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen beforehand by God, to us who ate and drank with Him after His rising out from the dead.
Acts 10:42	And He instructed us to proclaim to the people and to testify fully that He is the One having been appointed by God [as] Judge of the living and the dead.
Acts 10:43	To this One all the prophets testify [that] everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
Acts 10:44	Peter still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those hearing the word.
Acts 10:45	And the believers from the circumcision, as many as had come with Peter, were amazed that the gift of the Holy Spirit has been poured out even on the Gentiles.
Acts 10:46	For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,
Acts 10:47	“Is anyone able to withhold the water to baptize these who have received the Holy Spirit just as we also [have]?”
Acts 10:48	And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain some days.
Acts 11:1	Now the apostles and the brothers being in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Acts 11:2	And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision began contending with him,
Acts 11:3	saying, “You went to men having uncircumcision and ate with them.”
Acts 11:4	Now Peter, having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,
Acts 11:5	“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel like a great sheet descending, being let down out of heaven by four corners, and it came as far as me.
Acts 11:6	Having looked intently on it, I was observing [it], and I saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and the creeping things and the birds of the air.
Acts 11:7	And also I heard a voice saying to me, ‘Having risen up, Peter, kill and eat.’
Acts 11:8	But I said, ‘In no way, Lord, for never has a common or unclean [thing] entered into my mouth.’
Acts 11:9	But for a second [time] the voice answered out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you do not call common.’
Acts 11:10	Now this happened three times, and all was drawn up into heaven again.
Acts 11:11	And behold, immediately three men having been sent to me from Caesarea stood at the house in which we were.
Acts 11:12	And the Spirit told me to go with them, not having doubted. And these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the man’s house,
Acts 11:13	and he related to us how he saw the angel having stood in his house and having said, ‘Send forth to Joppa and send for Simon who is called Peter,
Acts 11:14	who will speak words to you by which you will be saved—you and all your household.’
Acts 11:15	And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning.
Acts 11:16	And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you⁺ will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Acts 11:17	If, then, God gave to them the same gift as also to us having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, how was I able to forbid God?”
Acts 11:18	And having heard these things, they were silent and glorified God, saying, “Then indeed God has given also to the Gentiles repentance unto life.”
Acts 11:19	Therefore, indeed, those having been scattered by the tribulation having taken place over Stephen passed through to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Acts 11:20	But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, having come into Antioch, were speaking also to the Hellenists, proclaiming the gospel—the Lord Jesus.
Acts 11:21	And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number, having believed, turned to the Lord.
Acts 11:22	Now the report was heard in the ears of the church being in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go as far as Antioch—
Acts 11:23	who, having come and having seen the grace of God, rejoiced and was exhorting all to abide in the Lord with resolute purpose of heart.
Acts 11:24	For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Acts 11:25	And he went out to Tarsus to seek Saul,
Acts 11:26	and having found [him], he brought [him] to Antioch. And it came to pass [that] they also gathered together a whole year in the church and taught a great multitude. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.
Acts 11:27	Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Acts 11:28	And one of them named Agabus, having risen up, signified by the Spirit [that] a great famine is about to be over the whole world—which came to pass under Claudius.
Acts 11:29	And the disciples, as anyone was prospered, each of them determined to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,
Acts 11:30	which also they did, having sent [it] to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Acts 12:1	Now at that time, Herod the king put forth the hands to mistreat some of those of the church.
Acts 12:2	And he put to death James the brother of John with the sword.
Acts 12:3	And having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also—now these were the days of the Unleavened—
Acts 12:4	whom also having arrested, he put in prison, having delivered [him] to four sets of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
Acts 12:5	Therefore indeed Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer was fervently being made to God by the church concerning him.
Acts 12:6	And when Herod was about to bring him forth, on that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, and guards before the door were keeping the prison.
Acts 12:7	And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by, and a light shone in the cell. And having struck Peter’s side, he woke him up, saying, “Rise up in haste.” And his chains fell off the hands.
Acts 12:8	And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he says to him, “Wrap around [you] your cloak and follow me.”
Acts 12:9	And having gone out, he was following, and he did not know that what is happening by means of the angel is real, but he was thinking he saw a vision.
Acts 12:10	And having passed through a first and a second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city, which opened to them by itself. And having gone out, they went on through one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
Acts 12:11	And having come to himself, Peter said, “Now I know truly that the Lord sent forth His angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod and of all the expectation of the people of the Jews.”
Acts 12:12	And having considered, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John who is called Mark, where there were many gathered together and praying.
Acts 12:13	And of him having knocked [at] the door of the gate, a girl named Rhoda came to answer.
Acts 12:14	And having recognized Peter’s voice, from joy she did not open the gate, but having run in, she reported Peter to be standing before the gate.
Acts 12:15	And they said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting [it] to be so. And they kept saying, “It is his angel.”
Acts 12:16	But Peter continued knocking. And having opened, they saw him and were amazed.
Acts 12:17	And having motioned to them with the hand to be silent, he related to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Report these things to James and to the brothers.” And having gone out, he went to another place.
Acts 12:18	Now day having come, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers [as to] what then was become of Peter.
Acts 12:19	And Herod, having sought after him and not having found [him], having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be led away. And having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he stayed [there].
Acts 12:20	Now he was furiously angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and they came to him with one accord. And having gained Blastus, who [was] over the bedchamber of the king, they were seeking peace because of their region being nourished by the king’s.
Acts 12:21	Now on the appointed day Herod, having put on royal apparel and having sat on the throne, was making an address to them.
Acts 12:22	And the people were crying out, “The voice of a god and not of a man!”
Acts 12:23	And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give the glory to God. And having been eaten by worms, he breathed his last.
Acts 12:24	But the word of God continued to grow and to multiply.
Acts 12:25	And Barnabas and Saul returned, having fulfilled the ministry to Jerusalem, having taken with [them] John, the one having been called Mark.
Acts 13:1	Now there were prophets and teachers in Antioch being [there] in the church: Both Barnabas and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Acts 13:2	Now [in] their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Now set apart unto Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have summoned them.”
Acts 13:3	Then, having fasted and having prayed and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] off.
Acts 13:4	Indeed, therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and they sailed from there to Cyprus.
Acts 13:5	And having come into Salamis, they began proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John [as] a helper.
Acts 13:6	Now having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a man—a certain a magician, a Jewish false prophet—whose name [was] Bar-Jesus,
Acts 13:7	who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This [man], having summoned Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.
Acts 13:8	But Elymas the magician (for his name is translated thus) was opposing them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Acts 13:9	And Saul, the one also [called] Paul, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, having looked intently upon him,
Acts 13:10	said, “O full of all deceit and all craftiness, son of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
Acts 13:11	And now behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season.” And immediately mist and darkness fell upon him, and going about, he was seeking someone to lead [him] by the hand.
Acts 13:12	Then the proconsul, having seen that having happened, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Acts 13:13	And those around Paul, having sailed from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia. But John, having departed from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Acts 13:14	Now having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, they sat down.
Acts 13:15	And after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there is any word of exhortation among you⁺ toward the people, speak.”
Acts 13:16	And Paul, having risen up and having motioned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:
Acts 13:17	The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people in the sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with uplifted arm He brought them out of it,
Acts 13:18	and for a period of about forty years He endured their ways in the wilderness,
Acts 13:19	and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave as an inheritance their land—
Acts 13:20	in about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, He gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
Acts 13:21	Then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
Acts 13:22	And having removed him, He raised up David to them as king, to whom He also said, having testified: ‘I have found David the [son] of Jesse a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.’
Acts 13:23	Of the seed of this [man], according to promise, God brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus—
Acts 13:24	John having proclaimed before the face of His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Acts 13:25	And as John was fulfilling the course, he was saying, ‘Whom do you⁺ suppose me to be? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me of whom I am not worthy to untie a sandal of the feet.’
Acts 13:26	Men, brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you⁺ fearing God, to us the message of this salvation was sent forth.
Acts 13:27	For those dwelling in Jerusalem and their rulers, not having known Him and the voices of the prophets that are being read on every Sabbath, having condemned [Him], they fulfilled [them].
Acts 13:28	And having found no cause of death, they begged Pilate to put Him to death.
Acts 13:29	And when they finished all the things having been written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they put [Him] in a tomb.
Acts 13:30	But God raised Him out from the dead,
Acts 13:31	who appeared for many days to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now His witnesses to the people.
Acts 13:32	And we preach the gospel to you⁺, the promise having been made to the fathers,
Acts 13:33	that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as it has also been written in the second psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have begotten You.’
Acts 13:34	And that He raised Him out from the dead, no more being about to return to decay, He spoke thus: ‘I will give to you⁺ the holy [blessings], the faithful ones, of David.’
Acts 13:35	So also, He says in another [place]: ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to see decay.’
Acts 13:36	For indeed David, having served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was added to his fathers, and he saw decay.
Acts 13:37	But the One God raised up did not see decay.
Acts 13:38	Therefore be it known to you⁺, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you⁺.
Acts 13:39	And in Him everyone believing is justified from all things from which you⁺ were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.
Acts 13:40	Take heed, therefore, lest that having been said in the prophets might come about:
Acts 13:41	‘Behold, scoffers, and wonder and perish; for I am working a work in your⁺ days, a work that you⁺ would never believe, even if one should declare it to you⁺.’”
Acts 13:42	And [on] their having departed, they were begging these words to be spoken to them on the next Sabbath.
Acts 13:43	And the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and worshiping converts followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, kept persuading them to continue in the grace of God.
Acts 13:44	And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Acts 13:45	But the Jews, having seen the crowds, were filled with jealousy, and they began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, blaspheming.
Acts 13:46	And Paul and Barnabas, having spoken boldly, said, “It was necessary [for] the word of God to be spoken first to you⁺. But since you⁺ thrust it away and do not judge yourselves worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.
Acts 13:47	For thus the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, [that] you may be for salvation to the end of the earth.’”
Acts 13:48	And the Gentiles hearing were rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed.
Acts 13:49	And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole region.
Acts 13:50	But the Jews incited the worshiping women of honorable position and the principals of the city, and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and expelled them from their district.
Acts 13:51	And having shaken off the dust of the feet against them, they went to Iconium.
Acts 13:52	And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Acts 14:1	Now it came to pass in Iconium, according to the same, [that] they entered into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke so that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.
Acts 14:2	But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brothers.
Acts 14:3	Therefore indeed they stayed a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, testifying to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done through their hands.
Acts 14:4	Now the multitude of the city was divided, and indeed some were with the Jews, but some with the apostles.
Acts 14:5	And when there was a rush of both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them,
Acts 14:6	having become aware, they fled to the Lycaonian cities Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region,
Acts 14:7	and there they continued preaching the gospel.
Acts 14:8	And in Lystra a certain man was sitting, crippled in the feet, lame from the womb of his mother, who had never walked.
Acts 14:9	This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, having looked intently at him and having seen that he has faith to be healed,
Acts 14:10	said in a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And he sprang up and began to walk.
Acts 14:11	And the crowds, having seen what Paul had done, lifted up their voice in Lycaonian, saying, “The gods have come down to us, having become like men!”
Acts 14:12	And Barnabas they began calling Zeus; and Paul, Hermes, because he was the leading speaker.
Acts 14:13	And the priest of Zeus, being just outside the city, having brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, was desiring with the crowds to sacrifice.
Acts 14:14	But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard, having torn their garments, rushed out into the crowd, crying out
Acts 14:15	and saying, “Men, why do you⁺ do these things? We also are men of like nature with you⁺, proclaiming the gospel to you⁺ to turn from these vain [things] to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things in them,
Acts 14:16	who in the generations past allowed all the nations to go their ways.
Acts 14:17	And yet He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving to you⁺ rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your⁺ hearts with food and gladness.”
Acts 14:18	Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the crowds from sacrificing to them.
Acts 14:19	But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, and having stoned Paul, they dragged [him] outside the city, supposing him to have died.
Acts 14:20	But the disciples having surrounded him, having risen up, he entered into the city. And on the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
Acts 14:21	And having proclaimed the gospel to that city and having discipled many, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch,
Acts 14:22	strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting [them] to continue in the faith and that “through many tribulations it is necessary for us to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Acts 14:23	And having appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed, with fasting they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Acts 14:24	And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,
Acts 14:25	and having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Acts 14:26	And from there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work that they had fulfilled.
Acts 14:27	And having arrived and having gathered together the church, they began declaring all that God had done with them, and that He had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Acts 14:28	And they remained no little time with the disciples.
Acts 15:1	But certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brothers, “Unless you⁺ are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you⁺ are not able to be saved.”
Acts 15:2	There having been, then, no small commotion and discussion by Paul and Barnabas with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas and certain others out of them to go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question.
Acts 15:3	Therefore indeed, having been sent forward by the church, they were passing through both Phoenicia and Samaria, relating in detail the conversion of the Gentiles, and they were bringing great joy to all the brothers.
Acts 15:4	And having come to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church and the apostles and the elders. And they declared all that God had done with them.
Acts 15:5	Now certain ones of those who believed from the sect of the Pharisees rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses.”
Acts 15:6	And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Acts 15:7	And much discussion having taken place, Peter having risen up, said to them, “Men, brothers, you⁺ know that from early days God chose among you⁺ [for] the Gentiles to hear by my mouth the word of the gospel, and to believe.
Acts 15:8	And the heart-knowing God testified to them, having given [them] the Holy Spirit, as also to us.
Acts 15:9	And He made no distinction between both us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
Acts 15:10	Now, therefore, why are you⁺ testing God, putting upon the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Acts 15:11	But we believe to be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner [as] they also.”
Acts 15:12	Now the whole multitude kept silent and were listening to Barnabas and Paul relating what signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
Acts 15:13	And after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, hear me.
Acts 15:14	Simeon related how God first visited to take out of the Gentiles a people for His name.
Acts 15:15	And the words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:
Acts 15:16	‘After these things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and its ruins I will rebuild, and I will set it upright,
Acts 15:17	so that the remnant of men may seek out the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom has been called My name—upon them, says the Lord, doing these things
Acts 15:18	known from the age.’
Acts 15:19	Therefore I judge not to trouble those from the Gentiles turning to God,
Acts 15:20	but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and [from] sexual immorality, and [from] that which is strangled, and from blood.
Acts 15:21	For Moses has ones proclaiming him in every city from generations of old, being read in the synagogues on every Sabbath.”
Acts 15:22	Then it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders, with the whole church, having chosen out of them to send men to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas and Silas, leading men among the brothers,
Acts 15:23	having written by their hand: The apostles and the elders, brothers, To those brothers among the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: Greetings.
Acts 15:24	Inasmuch as we have heard that some went out from us, to whom we gave no instructions, [and that] they troubled you⁺ by words, upsetting your⁺ minds,
Acts 15:25	it seemed good to us, having come with one accord, having chosen men to send to you⁺ with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Acts 15:26	men having handed over their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 15:27	Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, and they are telling the same things by word.
Acts 15:28	For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you⁺ no further burden except these necessary things:
Acts 15:29	to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from sexual immorality. Keeping yourselves from these, you⁺ will do well. Farewell.
Acts 15:30	Indeed, therefore, having been sent off, they went to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude, they delivered the letter.
Acts 15:31	And having read [it], they rejoiced at the encouragement.
Acts 15:32	Both Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, exhorted and strengthened the brothers by much talk.
Acts 15:33	And having continued a time, they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those having sent them.
Acts 15:34	
Acts 15:35	But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the good news—with many others also—the word of the Lord.
Acts 15:36	Now after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Indeed, having turned back, let us look after the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord—how they are.”
Acts 15:37	Now Barnabas purposed also to take along John, called Mark.
Acts 15:38	But Paul was thinking it fit not to take him along, the one having withdrawn from them from Pamphylia and not having gone with them to the work.
Acts 15:39	Therefore a sharp disagreement arose, so that they separated from one another. And Barnabas, having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Acts 15:40	But Paul, having chosen Silas, went out, having been committed to the grace of the Lord by the brothers.
Acts 15:41	And he was passing through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Acts 16:1	And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father,
Acts 16:2	who was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium.
Acts 16:3	Paul wanted this one to go out with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him on account of the Jews being in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Acts 16:4	And while they were passing through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep—the ones decided on by the apostles and elders who [were] in Jerusalem.
Acts 16:5	So indeed the churches were strengthened in the faith and were increasing in number every day.
Acts 16:6	And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian region, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Acts 16:7	and having come down to Mysia, they were attempting to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Acts 16:8	And having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Acts 16:9	And a vision appeared to Paul during the night: A certain man of Macedonia was standing and beseeching him and saying, “Having passed over into Macedonia, help us.”
Acts 16:10	And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out into Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to preach the gospel to them.
Acts 16:11	And having sailed from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and on the following day to Neapolis,
Acts 16:12	and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia—a colony. Now we were staying some days in this city.
Acts 16:13	And on the day of the Sabbaths, we went outside the city gate, by a river, where [there] was customary to be prayer. And having sat down, we began speaking to the women having gathered.
Acts 16:14	And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was listening. The Lord opened her heart to attend to the things being spoken by Paul.
Acts 16:15	And when she was baptized, and her house, she begged, saying, “If you⁺ have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, abide.” And she persuaded us.
Acts 16:16	Now it happened [in] our going to the prayer [that] a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who was bringing her masters much gain by fortune-telling.
Acts 16:17	Having followed Paul and us, she was crying out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you⁺ the way of salvation!”
Acts 16:18	And she continued this for many days. And Paul, having been distressed and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out from her!” And it came out the same hour.
Acts 16:19	And her masters, having seen that their hope of profit was gone, having taken hold of Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the marketplace before the rulers.
Acts 16:20	And having brought them up to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city
Acts 16:21	and proclaim customs not lawful for us, being Romans, to accept nor to practice.”
Acts 16:22	And the crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates, having torn off their garments, were commanding that they be beaten with rods.
Acts 16:23	And having laid many blows on them, they cast [them] into prison, having charged the jailer to keep them securely,
Acts 16:24	who, having received such an order, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Acts 16:25	Now toward midnight, Paul and Silas, praying, were singing praises to God. And the prisoners were listening to them.
Acts 16:26	And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken, and immediately all the doors were opened, and the chains of all were loosed.
Acts 16:27	And the jailer, having been awoken and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have escaped.
Acts 16:28	But Paul called out in a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Acts 16:29	And having called for lights, he rushed in, and having become terrified, he fell down before Paul and Silas.
Acts 16:30	And having brought them out, he was saying, “Sirs, what is necessary for me to do so that I may be saved?”
Acts 16:31	And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your house.”
Acts 16:32	And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, along with all those in his house.
Acts 16:33	And having taken them in that hour of the night, he washed [them] from the wounds, and immediately he was baptized, and all his [own].
Acts 16:34	And having brought them into the house, he set a table and rejoiced with all [his] household, having believed in God.
Acts 16:35	And day having come, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, “Release those men.”
Acts 16:36	And the jailer reported these words to Paul: “The captains have sent that you⁺ may be let go. Now, therefore, having gone out, depart in peace.”
Acts 16:37	But Paul was saying to them, “Having beaten us publicly, uncondemned men being Romans, they cast [us] into prison, and now do they throw us out secretly? No indeed! Rather, having come themselves, let them bring us out.”
Acts 16:38	And the officers reported these words to the captains, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans.
Acts 16:39	And having come, they appealed to them, and having brought [them] out, they were asking [them] to go out of the city.
Acts 16:40	And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia, and having seen [them], they exhorted the brothers and went out.
Acts 17:1	And having passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.
Acts 17:2	And according to the custom of Paul, he went in to them, and for three Sabbaths he reasoned with them from the Scriptures,
Acts 17:3	opening and setting forth that it was necessary for the Christ to have suffered and to have risen out from the dead, and that “this Jesus whom I proclaim to you⁺ is the Christ.”
Acts 17:4	And some of them were obedient and joined themselves to Paul and to Silas, along with a great multitude of the worshiping Greeks and not a few of the leading women.
Acts 17:5	But the Jews, having become jealous and having taken along certain wicked men of the market-loungers, and having collected a crowd, set the city in uproar. And having assailed the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring out to the people.
Acts 17:6	But not having found them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the city authorities, crying out, “These ones, having upset the world, have come here also,
Acts 17:7	whom Jason has received. And these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, proclaiming another to be king—Jesus!”
Acts 17:8	And they stirred up the crowd and the city authorities hearing these things.
Acts 17:9	And having taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.
Acts 17:10	And the brothers sent away both Paul and Silas immediately by night to Berea, who, having arrived, went into the synagogue of the Jews.
Acts 17:11	Now these, who were more noble than those in Thessalonica, received the word with all readiness, every day examining the Scriptures, if these things were so.
Acts 17:12	Therefore many of them indeed believed, and not a few of the prominent Grecian women and men.
Acts 17:13	But when the Jews from Thessalonica knew that the word of God also was proclaimed by Paul in Berea, they came there also, stirring up and agitating the crowds.
Acts 17:14	And then immediately the brothers sent away Paul to go as to the sea. And both Silas and Timothy remained there.
Acts 17:15	And those escorting Paul brought [him] unto Athens, and having received a command to Silas and Timothy that as quickly as possible they should come to him, they departed.
Acts 17:16	Now Paul in Athens waiting for them, his spirit was provoked in him, seeing the city to be utterly idolatrous.
Acts 17:17	So indeed he was reasoning in the synagogue with the Jews and those worshiping, and in the marketplace on every day with those meeting.
Acts 17:18	And also some of the Epicureans and Stoics, philosophers, encountered him, and some were saying, “What may this babbler desire to say?” but others, “He seems to be a proclaimer of strange gods,” because he was proclaiming the gospel—Jesus and the resurrection.
Acts 17:19	And having taken hold of him, they brought [him] to the Areopagus, saying, “Are we able to know what this new teaching [is] that is spoken by you?
Acts 17:20	For you are bringing some strange things to our ears. We resolve, therefore, to know what these things wish to be.”
Acts 17:21	Now all the Athenians and the visiting foreigners spent their time on nothing other than to say something and to hear something new.
Acts 17:22	And Paul, having stood in the midst of the Areopagus, was saying, “Men, Athenians, in all things I perceive you⁺ as very religious.
Acts 17:23	For passing through and examining your⁺ objects of worship, I even found an altar on which had been inscribed: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore whom you⁺ worship without knowing, this I proclaim to you⁺.
Acts 17:24	The God having made the world and all things that [are] in it, He, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in hand-made temples,
Acts 17:25	nor is He served by hands of men as needing anything—He [who] gives to all life and breath and all things.
Acts 17:26	And He made out of one [man] every nation of men to dwell upon all the face of the earth, having determined the appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,
Acts 17:27	to seek God, if perhaps indeed they might feel after Him and might find Him. And indeed, He is not far from each one of us.
Acts 17:28	‘For in Him we live and move and are.’ As also some of the poets among you⁺ have said, ‘For we are also [His] offspring.’
Acts 17:29	Therefore, being offspring of God, we ought not to consider the Divine Being to be like gold or silver or stone, a graven thing of man’s craft and imagination.
Acts 17:30	Indeed, therefore, God, having overlooked the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent,
Acts 17:31	because He set a day in which He is about to judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He appointed, having provided a guarantee to all, having raised Him out from the dead.”
Acts 17:32	Now having heard of a resurrection of the dead, some indeed began mocking, but some said, “We will hear you concerning this again also.”
Acts 17:33	Thus Paul went out from their midst.
Acts 17:34	But some men, having joined themselves to him, believed, among whom also [were] Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
Acts 18:1	And after these things, having departed from Athens, he came to Corinth.
Acts 18:2	And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, and Priscilla his wife, recently having come from Italy because of Claudius having commanded all the Jews to depart out of Rome, he came to them,
Acts 18:3	and because of being of the same trade, he stayed with them and worked. For they were tentmakers by the trade.
Acts 18:4	And he was reasoning in the synagogue on every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 18:5	Now when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, earnestly testifying to the Jews Jesus to be the Christ.
Acts 18:6	But [on] their opposing and reviling [him], having shaken out the garments, he said to them, “Your⁺ blood [be] upon your⁺ head! I [am] clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Acts 18:7	And having departed from there, he came to the house of a certain one named Titus Justus, one worshiping God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
Acts 18:8	And Crispus, the synagogue ruler, believed in the Lord with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing believed and were baptized.
Acts 18:9	Now the Lord said to Paul through a vision in the night, “Do not be afraid, but continue speaking, and do not be silent,
Acts 18:10	because I am with you, and no one will lay a hand on you to harm you, because there are many people unto Me in this city.”
Acts 18:11	And he remained a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Acts 18:12	But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and led him to the judgment seat,
Acts 18:13	saying, “This [man] persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
Acts 18:14	And Paul being about to open the mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it was some unrighteousness or wicked crime, O Jews, according to reason I would have endured with you⁺.
Acts 18:15	But if it is a question about a word and names and in reference to your⁺ law, you⁺ will see yourselves. I resolve not to be a judge of these things.”
Acts 18:16	And he drove them from the judgment seat.
Acts 18:17	Then they all, having seized Sosthenes the synagogue ruler, were beating [him] before the judgment seat. And it mattered nothing to Gallio about these things.
Acts 18:18	Now Paul, having remained many days more, having taken leave of the brothers, sailed away to Syria—and with him Priscilla and Aquila—having shaved the head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
Acts 18:19	And they came to Ephesus and left them there. And he himself, having entered into the synagogue, reasoned with the Jews.
Acts 18:20	And of them asking [him] to remain for a longer time, he did not consent,
Acts 18:21	but having taken leave and having said, “I will return to you⁺ again, God willing,” he sailed from Ephesus,
Acts 18:22	and having landed at Caesarea, having gone up and having greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.
Acts 18:23	And having stayed some time, he went out, passing successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Acts 18:24	Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus, being an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures.
Acts 18:25	He was instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in spirit, he was speaking and was teaching earnestly the things concerning Jesus, knowing only the baptism of John,
Acts 18:26	and he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But Priscilla and Aquila, having heard him, took him to [them] and expounded the way of God to him more accurately.
Acts 18:27	And [in] his resolving to pass through into Achaia, the brothers, having encouraged [him], wrote to the disciples to welcome him, who, having arrived, helped greatly those having believed through grace.
Acts 18:28	For he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing by the Scriptures Jesus to be the Christ.
Acts 19:1	And it came to pass while Apollos was in Corinth [that] Paul, having passed through the upper parts to come to Ephesus and having found certain disciples,
Acts 19:2	also said to them, “Did you⁺ receive the Holy Spirit, having believed?” And [they said] to him, “But we did not even hear that there is a Holy Spirit.”
Acts 19:3	And he said, “Into what, then, were you⁺ baptized?” And they said, “Into John's baptism.”
Acts 19:4	And Paul said, “John baptized a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
Acts 19:5	And having heard, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 19:6	And Paul having laid the hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.
Acts 19:7	And there were in all about twelve men.
Acts 19:8	And having entered into the synagogue, he was speaking boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:9	But when some were hardened and were disbelieving, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, having departed from them, he separated the disciples, reasoning every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus.
Acts 19:10	And this continued for two years, so that all those inhabiting Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.
Acts 19:11	And God was doing miracles not being ordinary through the hands of Paul,
Acts 19:12	so that even soudaria or simikinthia from his skin were brought to the ailing, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits left.
Acts 19:13	And some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, also attempted to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those having evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you⁺ [by] Jesus, whom Paul proclaims.”
Acts 19:14	Now seven sons of a certain Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.
Acts 19:15	But the evil spirit, answering, said to them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about; but you⁺, who are you⁺?”
Acts 19:16	And the man in whom was the evil spirit, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
Acts 19:17	Now this became known to all those inhabiting Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
Acts 19:18	And many of those having believed were coming, confessing and declaring their deeds,
Acts 19:19	and many of those having practiced works of magic, having brought the books, burned [them] before all. And they counted up the prices of them and found [it] five myriads of silver.
Acts 19:20	Thus the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail with might.
Acts 19:21	Now after these things were fulfilled, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem, having passed through Macedonia and Achaia, having said, “After my having been there, it is necessary for me to see Rome also.”
Acts 19:22	And having sent two of those ministering to him, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he remained for a time in Asia.
Acts 19:23	And there arose at the same time no little disturbance concerning the Way.
Acts 19:24	For a certain silversmith named Demetrius, making silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen.
Acts 19:25	Having brought [them] together along with the workmen in such things, he said, “Men, you⁺ know that out of this business is our wealth.
Acts 19:26	And you⁺ see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul, having persuaded [them], has turned away a great many people, saying that they are not gods being made by hands.
Acts 19:27	Now not only is this business of ours endangered to come into disrepute, but also for the temple of the great goddess Artemis to be reckoned for nothing, and also her majesty to be deposed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”
Acts 19:28	And having heard and having become full of rage, they were crying out, saying, “Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Acts 19:29	And the city was filled with confusion, and with one accord they rushed to the theatre, having dragged off Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travelers of Paul.
Acts 19:30	But on Paul intending to go in to the people, the disciples were not allowing him.
Acts 19:31	And also some of the Asiarchs being friends to him, having sent to him, were urging him not to venture into the theatre.
Acts 19:32	Some indeed therefore were crying out one thing, some [another]. For the assembly was confused, and most did not know for what cause they were assembled.
Acts 19:33	And out of the crowd they put forward Alexander, the Jews having thrust him forward. And Alexander, having motioned with the hand, was wanting to make a defense to the people.
Acts 19:34	But having recognized that he is a Jew, there was one cry from all, ongoing about two hours, crying out, “Great [is] Artemis of the Ephesians!”
Acts 19:35	And having calmed the crowd, the town clerk says, “Men, Ephesians, what man is there indeed who does not know the city of the Ephesians as being temple-keeper of the great Artemis and of that fallen from the sky?
Acts 19:36	Therefore, these things being undeniable, it is necessary for you⁺ to be calm and to do nothing rash.
Acts 19:37	For you⁺ brought these men, neither temple plunderers nor blaspheming our goddess.
Acts 19:38	Therefore if indeed Demetrius and the craftsmen with him have a matter against anyone, courts are conducted, and there are proconsuls; let them accuse one another.
Acts 19:39	But if you⁺ inquire anything beyond this, it will be solved in the lawful assembly.
Acts 19:40	And indeed, we are in danger of being accused of insurrection concerning this day, there existing not one cause concerning which we will be able to give a reason concerning this commotion.”
Acts 19:41	And having said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
Acts 20:1	Now after the uproar had ceased, Paul, having summoned the disciples and having encouraged [them], having said farewell, went out to go to Macedonia.
Acts 20:2	And having passed through those districts and having exhorted them with much talk, he came to Greece.
Acts 20:3	And having continued three months, a plot having been made against him by the Jews, he being about to sail into Syria, a purpose arose to return through Macedonia.
Acts 20:4	And he was accompanied by Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean, and Aristarchus, and Secundus of the Thessalonians, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy, and the Asians Tychicus and Trophimus.
Acts 20:5	But these, having gone ahead, waited for us in Troas.
Acts 20:6	And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of the Unleavened, and within five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed seven days.
Acts 20:7	And on the first of the week, we having come together to break bread, Paul, about to depart on the next day, talked to them and continued the talk until midnight.
Acts 20:8	Now there were many lamps in the upper room where we were assembled.
Acts 20:9	And a certain young man named Eutychus was sitting by the window, overcome by deep sleep, Paul talking on longer. Having been overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was picked up dead.
Acts 20:10	But Paul, having descended, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], he said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him!”
Acts 20:11	And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and having eaten, and having talked for a considerable [time] until daybreak, so he went out.
Acts 20:12	Then they brought the boy alive and were not just a little comforted.
Acts 20:13	But we, having gone ahead to the ship, sailed to Assos, being about to take in Paul there. For having arranged thus, he was readying himself to go on foot.
Acts 20:14	And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him in, we came to Mitylene.
Acts 20:15	And having sailed away from there, the next day we arrived opposite Chios, and the second [day] we arrived at Samos, and the following [day] we came to Miletus.
Acts 20:16	For Paul had decided to sail by Ephesus, so that it might not come upon him to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it was possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
Acts 20:17	And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for the elders of the church.
Acts 20:18	And when they had come to him, he said to them, “You⁺ know from the first day on which I arrived in Asia, how I was with you⁺ the whole time,
Acts 20:19	serving the Lord with all humility and tears, and in trials having befallen me in the plots of the Jews;
Acts 20:20	how I kept back nothing of that being profitable, to declare [it] to you⁺ and to teach you⁺ publicly and from house to house,
Acts 20:21	earnestly testifying both to the Jews and to the Greeks repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 20:22	And now behold, bound in the Spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me in it,
Acts 20:23	except that the Holy Spirit fully testifies to me in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me.
Acts 20:24	But on no account do I make my life dear to myself, so as to finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus: to testify fully to the gospel of the grace of God.
Acts 20:25	And now, behold, I know that all of you⁺ among whom I went about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face no more.
Acts 20:26	Therefore I testify to you⁺ in this day that I [am] innocent of the blood of all.
Acts 20:27	For I did not shrink back from proclaiming to you⁺ the whole counsel of God.
Acts 20:28	Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock among whom the Holy Spirit has set you⁺ as overseers, to shepherd the church of God, which He purchased with [His] own blood.
Acts 20:29	I have known that after my departure, grievous wolves will come in among you⁺, not sparing the flock,
Acts 20:30	and out from your⁺ own selves men will rise up, speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them.
Acts 20:31	Therefore stay awake, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease admonishing each one with tears.
Acts 20:32	And now I commit you⁺ to God and to the word of His grace, being able to build [you] up and to give you an inheritance among all those having been sanctified.
Acts 20:33	I coveted no one’s silver or gold or clothing.
Acts 20:34	You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my needs and to those being with me.
Acts 20:35	In everything I showed you⁺ that by thus laboring, it is necessary to aid those being weak, and also to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Acts 20:36	And having said these things, having bowed his knee, he prayed with them all.
Acts 20:37	Then there was much weeping among all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing him,
Acts 20:38	sorrowing especially over the word that he had spoken, that they are about to see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.
Acts 21:1	And it happened that after having drawn away from them, having run directly in our sailing, we came to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
Acts 21:2	And having found a boat passing over into Phoenicia, having gone aboard, we set sail.
Acts 21:3	And having sighted Cyprus and having left it on the left, we kept sailing to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was unloading the cargo there.
Acts 21:4	And we remained there seven days, having sought out the disciples, who kept saying to Paul through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:5	And it happened that when we had completed the days, having gone out, we journeyed, all accompanying us, with wives and children, as far as outside the city. And having bowed the knees on the shore, having prayed,
Acts 21:6	having said farewell to one another, we then went up into the boat, and they returned to their own.
Acts 21:7	And having completed the voyage from Tyre, we came down to Ptolemais; and having greeted the brothers, we stayed one day with them.
Acts 21:8	And having gone out on the next day, we came to Caesarea; and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, being of the Seven, we stayed with him.
Acts 21:9	And with this [man] there were four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
Acts 21:10	And [in our] remaining many days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
Acts 21:11	And having come to us and having taken Paul’s belt, having bound his feet and hands, he said, “Thus the Holy Spirit says, ‘In this way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man whose belt this is, and they will deliver [him] into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
Acts 21:12	And when we had heard these things, both we and those of that place were begging him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:13	Then Paul answered, “What are you⁺ doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I have readiness not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
Acts 21:14	And he not being persuaded, we were silent, having said, “The will of the Lord be done.”
Acts 21:15	And after these days, having packed the baggage, we were going up to Jerusalem.
Acts 21:16	And some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing a certain Mnason, a Cypriot, an early disciple with whom we would lodge.
Acts 21:17	Now of us having arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
Acts 21:18	And on the following [day], Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders arrived.
Acts 21:19	And having greeted them, he began to relate, one by one, each of the things God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
Acts 21:20	And those having heard were glorifying God, and they said to him, “You see, brother, how many myriads there are among the Jews having believed, and they are all zealous ones of the law.
Acts 21:21	Now they have been informed about you that you teach all Jews among the Gentiles apostasy from Moses, telling them not to circumcise the children nor to walk in the customs.
Acts 21:22	What then is it? Certainly they will hear that you have come.
Acts 21:23	Therefore do this that we say to you. With us there are four men having a vow on themselves.
Acts 21:24	Having taken these, be purified with them and bear expense for them, so that they will shave the head. And all will know that what they have been informed about you is nothing, but [that] you yourself also walk orderly, keeping the law.
Acts 21:25	Now concerning those of the Gentiles having believed, we wrote, having adjudged, to keep themselves from both the things sacrificed to idols and blood, and [from] what is strangled and sexual immorality.”
Acts 21:26	Then Paul, having taken the men on the following day, having been purified with them, entered into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of the purification until the offering was offered for each one of them.
Acts 21:27	Now when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, began stirring up all the crowd, and they laid the hands upon him,
Acts 21:28	crying out, “Men, Israelites, help! This is the man who [is] teaching all those everywhere against the people and the law and this place. And besides, he has also brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
Acts 21:29	For it was they having previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul had brought into the temple.
Acts 21:30	And the whole city was provoked, and there was a rushing together of the people. And having laid hold of Paul, they dragged him outside the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.
Acts 21:31	And [in] their seeking to kill him, a report came to the commander of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in an uproar,
Acts 21:32	who at once, having taken with [him] soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them. And having seen the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Acts 21:33	Then having drawn near, the commander laid hold of him and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and he began inquiring who he might be and what it is he has been doing.
Acts 21:34	They were crying out in the crowd one thing, but others another. And he, not being able to know the facts on account of the uproar, ordered him to be brought into the barracks.
Acts 21:35	And when he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd.
Acts 21:36	For the multitude of the people were following, crying out, “Away with him!”
Acts 21:37	And being about to be brought into the barracks, Paul says to the commander, “Is it permitted to me to say something to you?” And he was saying, “Do you know Greek?
Acts 21:38	Are you not, then, the Egyptian, the one before these days having led a revolt and having led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
Acts 21:39	But Paul said, “I am indeed a Jew, a man of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen [of] no insignificant city. Now I implore you, allow me to speak to the people.”
Acts 21:40	And he having allowed [him], Paul, having stood on the stairs, made a sign with the hand to the people. And a great silence having taken place, he spoke to [them] in the Hebrew language, saying:
Acts 22:1	“Men, brothers and fathers, hear now my defense to you⁺.”
Acts 22:2	And having heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew language, they became even more quiet. And he says,
Acts 22:3	“I am a man, a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia and brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, having been educated according to the exactness of the law of our fathers, being a zealous one of God, even as all of you⁺ are this day,
Acts 22:4	who persecuted this Way as far as death, binding and delivering to prisons both men and women,
Acts 22:5	as also the high priest—and all the elderhood—testifies to me, from whom also having received letters to the brothers, I was going to Damascus to bring also those being there bound to Jerusalem so that they might be punished.
Acts 22:6	But it happened to me, journeying and drawing near to Damascus about noon, [that] suddenly a great light out of heaven shone around me,
Acts 22:7	and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’
Acts 22:8	And I answered, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.’
Acts 22:9	And those being with me indeed saw the light, but they did not hear the voice of the One speaking to me.
Acts 22:10	And I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ And the Lord said to me, ‘Having risen up, go to Damascus, and there it will be told to you concerning all things that it has been appointed to you to do.’
Acts 22:11	And while I could not see from the brightness of that light, I came to Damascus, being led by the hand by those being with me.
Acts 22:12	And a certain Ananias, a devout man according to the law, being testified to by all the Jews dwelling [there],
Acts 22:13	having come to me and having stood near, said to me, ‘Brother Saul, look up.’ And the same hour I looked up at him.
Acts 22:14	And he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice out of His mouth.
Acts 22:15	For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
Acts 22:16	And now, why do you delay? Having arisen, be baptized and wash away your sins, having called on His name.’
Acts 22:17	And it happened to me, having returned to Jerusalem and [in] my praying in the temple, [that] I fell into a trance
Acts 22:18	and saw Him saying to me, ‘Make haste and go forth with speed out of Jerusalem, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.’
Acts 22:19	And I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that in each of those synagogues I was imprisoning and beating those believing on You.
Acts 22:20	And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was poured out, I myself was also standing by and consenting and watching over the garments of those killing him.’
Acts 22:21	And He said to me, ‘Go, because I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”
Acts 22:22	Now they were listening to him until this word. And they lifted up their voice, saying, “Away with such from the earth! For it is not fitting [for] him to live!”
Acts 22:23	And [in] their crying out and casting off the garments and throwing dust into the air,
Acts 22:24	the commander ordered him to be brought into the barracks, having directed him to be examined by flogging, so that he might know for what cause they were crying out against him like this.
Acts 22:25	But as they stretched him forward with the straps, Paul said to the centurion standing by, “Is it lawful to you⁺ to flog a man [who is] a Roman and uncondemned?”
Acts 22:26	And the centurion, having heard, having gone to the commander, reported [it], saying, “What are you about to do? For this man is a Roman.”
Acts 22:27	And having come near, the commander said to him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” And he was saying, “Yes.”
Acts 22:28	And the commander answered, “I bought this citizenship with a great sum.” But Paul was saying, “But I have even been born [so].”
Acts 22:29	So immediately those being about to examine him departed from him, and the commander also was afraid, having ascertained that he is a Roman, and because he had bound him.
Acts 22:30	And on the next day, desiring to know for certain why he is accused by the Jews, he unbound him and he commanded the chief priests and all the Council to assemble. And having brought down Paul, he set [him] among them.
Acts 23:1	And having looked intently at the Council, Paul said, “Men, brothers, I have conducted myself in all good conscience to God up to this day.”
Acts 23:2	And the high priest Ananias commanded those standing by him to strike him on the mouth.
Acts 23:3	Then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, whitewashed wall! And you, do you sit judging me according to the law, and violating the law, command me to be struck?”
Acts 23:4	But those who stood by said, “Do you insult the high priest of God?”
Acts 23:5	And Paul was saying, “I was not aware, brothers, that he is high priest; for it has been written: ‘You shall not speak evil [of] the ruler of your people.’”
Acts 23:6	And Paul, having known that the one part consists of Sadducees, but the other of Pharisees, was crying out in the Council, “Men, brothers, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning hope and resurrection of the dead I am judged.”
Acts 23:7	And [on] his saying this, a dissension arose between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the multitude was divided.
Acts 23:8	For indeed Sadducees say there is no resurrection nor angel nor spirit, but Pharisees confess both.
Acts 23:9	Then a great clamor arose, and some of the scribes of the party of the Pharisees, having risen up, were contending, saying, “We find nothing evil in this man. And [what] if a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?”
Acts 23:10	And a great dissension arising, the commander, having feared, lest Paul should be torn to pieces by them, commanded the troop, having gone down, to take him by force from their midst and to bring [him] into the barracks.
Acts 23:11	But the following night the Lord, having stood by him, said, “Take courage, for as you have fully testified about Me at Jerusalem, so also it is necessary for you to testify at Rome.”
Acts 23:12	And day having come, the Jews, having made a conspiracy, put themselves under an oath, declaring neither to eat nor to drink until they should kill Paul.
Acts 23:13	Now there were more than forty having made this sworn conspiracy,
Acts 23:14	who, having come to the chief priests and the elders, said, “We have bound ourselves with an oath to eat nothing until we should kill Paul.
Acts 23:15	Now therefore, you⁺, with the Council, make a report to the commander, so that he might bring him down to you⁺ as being about to examine more accurately the things about him. And we are ready to kill him before his drawing near.”
Acts 23:16	But the son of Paul’s sister, having heard of the ambush, having come near and having entered into the barracks, reported [it] to Paul.
Acts 23:17	And Paul, having summoned one of the centurions, was saying, “Take this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him.”
Acts 23:18	Therefore indeed the one having taken him brought [him] to the commander, and he says, “Paul the prisoner, having summoned me, asked [me] to lead this young man to you, having something to say to you.”
Acts 23:19	Then the commander, having taken hold of his hand and having withdrawn in private, began to inquire, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
Acts 23:20	And he said, “The Jews have agreed to ask you that you might bring down Paul into the Council tomorrow as being about to inquire something more accurately about him.
Acts 23:21	You, therefore, should not be persuaded by them. For more than forty of their men lie in wait for him, who have put themselves under an oath neither to eat nor to drink until they should kill him; and now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you.”
Acts 23:22	Therefore indeed the commander dismissed the young man, having instructed [him], “Tell no one that you have reported these things to me.”
Acts 23:23	And having summoned a certain two of the centurions, he said, “Prepare for the third hour of the night two hundred soldiers and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, so that they might go as far as Caesarea,
Acts 23:24	and provide mounts so that, having set Paul upon [them], they might bring [him] safely to Felix the governor,”
Acts 23:25	having written a letter having this form:
Acts 23:26	Claudius Lysias, To the most excellent Governor Felix: Greetings.
Acts 23:27	This man having been seized by the Jews and being about to be killed by them—having come up with the troop, I rescued [him], having learned that he is a Roman.
Acts 23:28	And resolving to know the charge on account of which they were accusing him, I brought [him] down to their Council,
Acts 23:29	whom I found being accused concerning questions of their law, but having no accusation worthy of death or of chains.
Acts 23:30	And a plot having been disclosed to me to be against the man, I sent [him] to you at once, also having instructed the accusers to speak these things against him before you.
Acts 23:31	Therefore indeed the soldiers, according to that having been ordered them, having taken Paul, brought [him] to Antipatris by night.
Acts 23:32	And on the next day, having allowed the horsemen to go with him, they returned to the barracks;
Acts 23:33	those having entered into Caesarea and having delivered the letter to the governor, also presented Paul to him.
Acts 23:34	And having read [it] and having asked what province he is from, and having learned that [he is] from Cilicia,
Acts 23:35	he was saying, “I will hear you fully when your accusers may have arrived also,” having commanded him to be guarded in the Praetorium of Herod.
Acts 24:1	And after five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a certain orator, Tertullus, who made a presentation against Paul to the governor.
Acts 24:2	And he having been called, Tertullus began to accuse [him], saying, “Attaining great peace through you, and excellent measures being done to this nation through your foresight,
Acts 24:3	in every way and also everywhere, we gladly accept [it], most excellent Felix, with all thankfulness.
Acts 24:4	But so that I should not be a hindrance to you any longer, I implore you to hear us briefly [in] your kindness.
Acts 24:5	For having found this man a pestilence and stirring dissension among all the Jews in the world—also a leader of the sect of the Nazarenes—
Acts 24:6	who even attempted to profane the temple, whom we also seized.
Acts 24:7	
Acts 24:8	Having examined [him] yourself, you will be able to know from him concerning all these things of which we accuse him.”
Acts 24:9	And the Jews also agreed, declaring these things to be so.
Acts 24:10	And the governor having motioned to him to speak, Paul answered: “Knowing you as being a judge to this nation for many years, I make a defense cheerfully to the things concerning myself,
Acts 24:11	you being able to know that there are to me no more than twelve days since I went up to worship in Jerusalem.
Acts 24:12	And neither did they find me reasoning with anyone or making a tumultuous gathering of a crowd in the temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city.
Acts 24:13	Nor are they able to prove to you [the things] concerning which now they accuse me.
Acts 24:14	But I confess this to you, that according to the Way, which they call a sect, so I serve the God of our fathers, believing all things throughout the Law and that have been written in the Prophets,
Acts 24:15	having a hope in God, which they themselves also await, [that] there is about to be a resurrection both of righteous and of unrighteous.
Acts 24:16	In this I myself also strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men through everything.
Acts 24:17	Now after many years, I arrived to bring alms to my nation, and offerings,
Acts 24:18	during which they found me purified in the temple, not with a crowd nor with an uproar. But [there are] some Jews from Asia
Acts 24:19	who ought to appear before you and to make accusation if they may have anything against me.
Acts 24:20	Or let these say themselves any unrighteousness they found in my having stood before the Council,
Acts 24:21	other than concerning this one voice in which I cried out standing among them: ‘I am judged by you⁺ this day concerning the resurrection of the dead.’”
Acts 24:22	But Felix, having known more precisely the things concerning the Way, put them off, having said, “When Lysias the commander shall have come down, I will examine the things as to you⁺,”
Acts 24:23	having commanded the centurion to keep him and to [let him] have ease and not to forbid his own to minister to him.
Acts 24:24	Then after some days Felix, having arrived with [his] own wife Drusilla, being a Jewess, sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.
Acts 24:25	And [in] his reasoning concerning righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix, having become frightened, answered, “Be going for the present, and having found opportunity, I will call for you,”
Acts 24:26	at the same time also hoping that riches will be given to him by Paul. Therefore also, sending for him often, he was talking with him.
Acts 24:27	But two years having been completed, Felix received Porcius Festus [as] successor, and wishing to acquire for himself favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul bound.
Acts 25:1	Therefore Festus, having arrived in the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
Acts 25:2	And the chief priests and the chiefs of the Jews presented to him against Paul, and they were imploring him,
Acts 25:3	requesting a favor against him that he would summon him to Jerusalem, forming an ambush to kill him on the way.
Acts 25:4	Then, indeed, Festus answered that Paul is to be kept in Caesarea, and [that] he himself is about to go out in haste.
Acts 25:5	“Therefore those powerful among you⁺,” he says, “having gone down together, if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”
Acts 25:6	And having spent with them no more than eight or ten days, having gone down to Caesarea, on the next day having sat on the judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought.
Acts 25:7	And he having arrived, the Jews having come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and weighty charges, which they were not able to prove.
Acts 25:8	Paul made his defense: “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned [in] anything.”
Acts 25:9	But Festus, wishing to lay a favor on the Jews, answering, said to Paul, “Are you willing, having gone up to Jerusalem, to be judged before me there concerning these things?”
Acts 25:10	And Paul said, “I am standing before the judgment seat of Caesar, where it is necessary for me to be judged. I did nothing wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.
Acts 25:11	Therefore if indeed I am unrighteous and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is nothing of which they can accuse me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Acts 25:12	Then Festus, having conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar; to Caesar you will go!”
Acts 25:13	Now some days having passed, Agrippa the king and Bernice came down to Caesarea, greeting Festus.
Acts 25:14	And as they were staying there many days, Festus laid before the king the things relating to Paul, saying, “There is a certain man left by Felix, a prisoner,
Acts 25:15	concerning whom, [in] my having been in Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews made a presentation, requesting a judgment against him,
Acts 25:16	to whom I answered that it is not a custom with Romans to give up any man before the one being accused may have [it] to face the accusers and may have a place of defense concerning the accusation.
Acts 25:17	Therefore [on] their having come together here, having made no delay, the next day having sat on the judgment seat, I commanded the man to be brought,
Acts 25:18	concerning whom the accusers, having stood up, were bringing no charge of the evils that I was expecting.
Acts 25:19	But they had certain questions against him concerning [their] own religion and concerning a certain Jesus having been dead, whom Paul was affirming to be alive.
Acts 25:20	Now I, being perplexed concerning this inquiry, was asking if he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there to be judged concerning these things.
Acts 25:21	But Paul having appealed for himself to be kept for the decision of the Emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I might send him to Caesar.”
Acts 25:22	And Agrippa [said] to Festus, “I have also been wanting to hear the man myself.” He says, “Tomorrow you will hear him.”
Acts 25:23	Therefore on the next day, Agrippa and Bernice having come with great pomp and having entered into the auditorium with both the commanders and the men of prominence in the city, and Festus having commanded, Paul was brought in.
Acts 25:24	And Festus says, “King Agrippa and all men being present with us, you⁺ see this one concerning whom all the multitude of the Jews pleaded with me, both in Jerusalem and here, crying out of him [that] he ought not to live [any] longer.
Acts 25:25	But I, having understood him to have done nothing worthy of death—this one himself now having appealed to the Emperor—I determined to send [him],
Acts 25:26	concerning whom I have nothing definite to write to [my] lord. Therefore I have brought him before you⁺ all, and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that [on] the examination having taken place, I might have something to write.
Acts 25:27	For it seems absurd to me, sending a prisoner, not also to specify the charges against him.”
Acts 26:1	And Agrippa was saying to Paul, “It is permitted you to speak for yourself.” Then Paul, having stretched out the hand, began his defense:
Acts 26:2	“Concerning all of which I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa, I esteem myself fortunate before you, being about to defend myself today,
Acts 26:3	you being especially acquainted with all the customs and also controversies of the Jews. Therefore I implore [you] to hear me patiently.
Acts 26:4	Then indeed my manner of life, which [is] from youth, having been from [its] beginning among my nation and in Jerusalem, all the Jews know—
Acts 26:5	knowing me from the first, if they would be willing to testify—that according to the strictest sect of our religion I lived [as] a Pharisee.
Acts 26:6	And now I stand, being judged for the hope of the promise having been made by God to our fathers,
Acts 26:7	to which our twelve tribes hope to attain, serving in earnestness night and day, the hope concerning which I am accused by the Jews, O king.
Acts 26:8	Why is it judged incredible by you⁺ if God raises the dead?
Acts 26:9	Therefore I indeed in myself thought [it] to be necessary to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth,
Acts 26:10	which I also did in Jerusalem. And I also locked up many of the saints in prisons, having received the authority from the chief priests; and [on] their being put to death, I cast against [them] a vote.
Acts 26:11	And in all the synagogues, punishing them often, I was compelling [them] to blaspheme. And being exceedingly furious against them, I was persecuting [them] even as far as to foreign cities,
Acts 26:12	during which, going to Damascus with the authority and commission of the chief priests,
Acts 26:13	at midday on the road I saw, O king, a light from heaven above the brightness of the sun having shone around me and those going with me.
Acts 26:14	And all of us having fallen down to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me? [It is] hard for you to kick against the goads.’
Acts 26:15	Then I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Acts 26:16	But rise up and stand on your feet. For I have appeared to you for this, to appoint you as a servant and a witness both of that which you have seen of Me and of the things in which I will appear to you,
Acts 26:17	delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you
Acts 26:18	to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, [that] they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those having been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Acts 26:19	Hence, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision,
Acts 26:20	but also first to those in Damascus and Jerusalem, also to all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, I was declaring to repent and to turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance.
Acts 26:21	On account of these things the Jews, having seized me (being in the temple), were attempting to kill [me].
Acts 26:22	Therefore, having obtained help from God up to this day, I have stood bearing witness both to small and to great, saying nothing other than that which both the prophets and Moses said was about to happen:
Acts 26:23	that the Christ would suffer [and], as first through resurrection from the dead, He is about to proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.”
Acts 26:24	Now of him making this defense, Festus said in a loud voice, “You are insane, Paul! Much learning turns you to insanity!”
Acts 26:25	But Paul says, “I am not insane, most excellent Festus, but I declare forth words of truth and sobriety.
Acts 26:26	For the king understands concerning these things, to whom also I speak, being bold. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him, for this thing is not done in a corner.
Acts 26:27	Do you believe the prophets, King Agrippa? I know that you believe.”
Acts 26:28	Then Agrippa [said] to Paul, “In so little [time] do you persuade me to become a Christian?”
Acts 26:29	And Paul [said], “I would wish anyhow to God, both in a little and in much, not only you, but also all those hearing me this day, to become such as I also am, except these chains.”
Acts 26:30	Then the king and the governor rose up, and Bernice and those sitting with them,
Acts 26:31	and having withdrawn, they began speaking to one another, saying, “This man is doing nothing worthy of death or of chains.”
Acts 26:32	Then Agrippa was saying to Festus, “This man could have been released if he had not appealed to Caesar.”
Acts 27:1	Now when our sailing to Italy was determined, they delivered up both Paul and certain other prisoners to a centurion named Julius, of the cohort of Augustus.
Acts 27:2	And having boarded a ship of Adramyttium being about to sail to the places along Asia, we set sail—Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
Acts 27:3	And the next day we landed at Sidon. And Julius, having treated Paul considerately, allowed [him], having gone to his friends, to receive care.
Acts 27:4	And having set sail from there, we sailed under Cyprus because of the winds being contrary.
Acts 27:5	And having sailed across the sea along Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra of Lycia.
Acts 27:6	And there the centurion, having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, placed us into it.
Acts 27:7	And sailing slowly for many days, and with difficulty having arrived off Cnidus, the wind not permitting us, we sailed under Crete off Salmone.
Acts 27:8	And coasting along it with difficulty, we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasea.
Acts 27:9	Now much time having passed and the voyage being already dangerous because of even the Fast already being over, Paul was admonishing [them],
Acts 27:10	saying to them, “Men, I see that the voyage is about to be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and of the ship, but also of our lives.”
Acts 27:11	But the centurion was persuaded by the pilot and the ship owner rather than by the things spoken by Paul.
Acts 27:12	And the harbor being unsuitable to winter in, the majority made a decision to set sail from there, if somehow they might be able, having arrived at Phoenix—a harbor of Crete looking toward the southwest and toward the northwest—to winter [there].
Acts 27:13	And a south wind having blown gently, having thought to have obtained [their] purpose, having weighed anchor, they began coasting along very near Crete.
Acts 27:14	But not long after, there came down from it a tempestuous wind called Euroclydon.
Acts 27:15	And the ship having been caught and not being able to face the wind, having given way, we were driven along.
Acts 27:16	And having run under a certain island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to gain control of the lifeboat,
Acts 27:17	which having taken up, they began using supports, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they might fall into the sandbars of Syrtis, having lowered the gear, thus they were driven along.
Acts 27:18	And [in] our being storm-tossed violently, on the next day they began to make a jettison of cargo,
Acts 27:19	and on the third [day] they cast away the tackle of the ship with [their] own hands.
Acts 27:20	And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on [us], from then on all hope of our being saved was abandoned.
Acts 27:21	There being also much time without food, at that time having stood up in their midst, Paul said, “It was necessary indeed, O men, having been obedient to me, not to have set sail from Crete and to have incurred this disaster and loss.
Acts 27:22	And now I exhort you⁺ to take heart, for there will be no loss of life from among you⁺—only of the ship.
Acts 27:23	For this night an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me,
Acts 27:24	saying, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. It is necessary for you to stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted to you all those sailing with you.’
Acts 27:25	Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be thus, according to the way it has been said to me.
Acts 27:26	But it is necessary for us to fall upon a certain island.”
Acts 27:27	And when the fourteenth night had come of us being driven about in the Adriatic, toward the middle of the night the sailors began sensing some land to be drawing near to them.
Acts 27:28	And having taken soundings, they found twenty fathoms. And having gone a little farther and having taken soundings again, they found fifteen fathoms.
Acts 27:29	And fearing, lest we might fall somewhere on rocky places, having cast four anchors out of the stern, they were praying for day to come.
Acts 27:30	And the sailors seeking to flee out of the ship and having let down the lifeboat into the sea under pretense as being about to cast out anchors from the bow,
Acts 27:31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, “Unless these remain in the ship, you⁺ are not able to be saved.”
Acts 27:32	Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the lifeboat and allowed it to fall away.
Acts 27:33	And until that day was about to come, Paul kept urging all to partake of food, saying, “Today [is] the fourteenth day you⁺ continue waiting without eating, having taken nothing.
Acts 27:34	Therefore I exhort you⁺ to take food, for this is for your⁺ preservation; for not one hair of your⁺ head will perish.”
Acts 27:35	And having said these things and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God before all; and having broken [it], he began to eat.
Acts 27:36	And all, having been encouraged, also took food themselves.
Acts 27:37	And we were altogether two hundred seventy-six souls in the ship.
Acts 27:38	And having been filled with food, they began to lighten the ship, casting out the wheat into the sea.
Acts 27:39	And when it was day, they did not recognize the land, but they noticed a certain bay, having a shore on which they decided to drive the ship if they could.
Acts 27:40	And having cut away the anchors, they left [them] in the sea, at the same time having loosened the ropes of the rudders. And having hoisted the foresail to the blowing [wind], they began making for the shore.
Acts 27:41	But having fallen into a place between two seas, they ran the vessel aground. And indeed the bow, having stuck fast, remained immovable, and the stern was being broken up by the violence of the waves.
Acts 27:42	Now the plan of the soldiers was that they should kill the prisoners, lest anyone, having swum away, should escape.
Acts 27:43	But the centurion, desiring to save Paul, hindered them of the plan; and he commanded those being able to swim, having cast [themselves] off first, to go out on the land,
Acts 27:44	and the rest, some indeed on boards and some on things from the ship. And thus it came to pass [that] all were brought safely to the land.
Acts 28:1	And having been saved, then we found out that the island is called Malta.
Acts 28:2	And the natives were showing not [just] the ordinary kindness to us. For having kindled a fire, they received all of us because of the rain setting in and because of the cold.
Acts 28:3	Now [on] Paul having gathered a multitude of sticks and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper, having come out from the heat, fastened [itself] on his hand.
Acts 28:4	And when the natives saw the beast hanging from his hand, they began to say to one another, “By all means this man is a murderer whom, having been saved from the sea, Dike did not permit to live.”
Acts 28:5	Then indeed, having shaken off the creature into the fire, he suffered no harm.
Acts 28:6	But they were expecting him to be about to become inflamed or suddenly to fall down dead. But [on] their waiting a great while and seeing nothing amiss happening to him, having changed their opinion, they began declaring him to be a god.
Acts 28:7	Now in the [parts] around that place were lands of the chief of the island, named Publius, who, having received us, entertained [us] hospitably [for] three days.
Acts 28:8	And it came to pass [that] the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, toward whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid the hands on him, healed him.
Acts 28:9	And [on] this having taken place, also the rest in the island having infirmities were coming and were healed,
Acts 28:10	who also honored us with many honors, and on setting sail, they laid on [us] the things for [our] needs.
Acts 28:11	And after three months, we sailed in an Alexandrian ship having wintered in the island, with a figurehead of the Dioscuri.
Acts 28:12	And having put in at Syracuse, we stayed three days,
Acts 28:13	from where, having cast off, we arrived at Rhegium. And after one day, a south wind having come up, on the second day we came to Puteoli,
Acts 28:14	where having found [some] brothers, we were entreated to remain with them seven days. And so we came to Rome.
Acts 28:15	And the brothers from there, having heard the things concerning us, came out as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us, whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Acts 28:16	Now when we came to Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier guarding him.
Acts 28:17	And it came to pass after three days [that] he called together those being leaders of the Jews. And [on] their having come together, he was saying to them, “Men, brothers, having done nothing against the people or the customs of our fathers, I was delivered from Jerusalem [as] a prisoner into the hands of the Romans,
Acts 28:18	who, having examined me, were wanting to let [me] go on account of not one cause of death existing in me.
Acts 28:19	But [on] the Jews objecting, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not as having anything to accuse my nation.
Acts 28:20	For this cause, therefore, I have called to see you⁺ and to speak to [you]. For because of the hope of Israel, I have around [me] this chain.”
Acts 28:21	And they said to him, “We received neither letters concerning you from Judea, nor did any of the brothers having arrived report or say anything evil concerning you.
Acts 28:22	But we count it worthy to hear from you what you think, for truly, concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere.”
Acts 28:23	Then, having appointed to him a day, many came to him to the lodging, to whom he expounded from morning to evening, fully testifying to the kingdom of God and persuading them concerning Jesus from both the Law of Moses and the Prophets.
Acts 28:24	And indeed, some were persuaded of the things being said, but some refused to believe.
Acts 28:25	And being discordant with one another they began to leave, Paul having said one word: “The Holy Spirit spoke rightly by the prophet Isaiah to your⁺ fathers,
Acts 28:26	saying: ‘Go to this people and say, “In hearing you⁺ will hear and never understand; and in seeing you⁺ will see and never perceive.”
Acts 28:27	For the heart of this people grew dull, and with the ears they barely hear, and they have closed their eyes, lest ever they should see with the eyes, and should hear with the ears, and should understand with the heart, and should turn, and I will heal them.’
Acts 28:28	Therefore be it known to you⁺ that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!”
Acts 28:29	
Acts 28:30	And he stayed two whole years in his own rented house, and he was welcoming all those coming to him,
Acts 28:31	proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness, freely.
Romans 1:1	Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle having been set apart for the gospel of God,
Romans 1:2	which He promised beforehand through His prophets in Holy Scriptures,
Romans 1:3	concerning His Son, the One having come of the seed of David according to the flesh,
Romans 1:4	the One having been determined the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by resurrection [from] the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord,
Romans 1:5	through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the Gentiles on behalf of His name,
Romans 1:6	among whom are you⁺ also, called of Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:7	To all those being in Rome beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 1:8	First indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you⁺, because your⁺ faith is being proclaimed in all the world.
Romans 1:9	For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son, is my witness how unceasingly I make remembrance of you⁺,
Romans 1:10	always upon my prayers, imploring if somehow now at last by the will of God I will make a prosperous journey to come to you⁺.
Romans 1:11	For I long to see you⁺ so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you⁺, to your⁺ being strengthened,
Romans 1:12	and, that is, to be encouraged together among you⁺ through the faith among one another, both of you⁺ and of me.
Romans 1:13	Now I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant, brothers, that many times I purposed to come to you⁺, and was prevented until the present, so that I might have some fruit among you⁺ also, even as among the other Gentiles.
Romans 1:14	I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to foolish.
Romans 1:15	Thus, as to me, [I am] ready to preach the gospel also to you⁺ who [are] in Rome.
Romans 1:16	For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone believing—both to Jew first, and to Greek.
Romans 1:17	For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, just as it has been written: “And the righteous one will live by faith.”
Romans 1:18	For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, suppressing the truth in unrighteousness,
Romans 1:19	because that which [is] known of God is manifest among them, for God has revealed [it] to them.
Romans 1:20	For from the creation of the world His invisible [qualities], both His eternal power and divinity, are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, for them to be without excuse.
Romans 1:21	For having known God, not as God did they glorify [Him], or give thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22	Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23	and they changed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of an image of mortal man and birds and quadrupeds and creeping things.
Romans 1:24	Therefore God gave them up in the sinful desires of their hearts to uncleanness to dishonor their bodies among themselves,
Romans 1:25	who changed the truth of God into falsehood, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the One having created, who is blessed to the ages! Amen.
Romans 1:26	Because of this, God gave up them to passions of dishonor. For even their females changed the natural use into that contrary to nature.
Romans 1:27	And likewise also the males, having left the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working out shame and receiving back in themselves the recompense that was fitting of their error.
Romans 1:28	And just as they did not see fit to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to an unfit mind, to do the [things] not being proper;
Romans 1:29	being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; gossips,
Romans 1:30	slanderers, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boasters; inventors of evil, disobedient to parents;
Romans 1:31	unintelligent, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;
Romans 1:32	who, having known the righteous decree of God that those practicing such things are worthy of death, not only are doing them, but also agree with those practicing [them].
Romans 2:1	Therefore you are without excuse, O man, every one who is judging. For in that which you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, for you, the one judging, practice the same things.
Romans 2:2	But we know that the judgment of God upon those practicing such things is according to truth.
Romans 2:3	Now do you reckon this, O man, the one judging those practicing such things, and doing them [yourself], that you will escape the judgment of God?
Romans 2:4	Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Romans 2:5	But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart, you are storing up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,
Romans 2:6	who “will repay to each according to his works,”
Romans 2:7	to those who indeed with perseverance in good work are seeking glory and honor and immortality, eternal life;
Romans 2:8	but to those of self-interest and disobeying the truth but obeying unrighteousness, wrath and anger;
Romans 2:9	tribulation and distress upon every soul of man working evil, both of Jew first, and also of Greek;
Romans 2:10	but glory and honor and peace to everyone working good, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
Romans 2:11	For there is no partiality with God.
Romans 2:12	For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law,
Romans 2:13	for not the hearers of the law [are] righteous before God; but the doers of the law will be declared righteous.
Romans 2:14	For when Gentiles, not having the law, may do by nature the things of the law, these not having a law are a law to themselves,
Romans 2:15	who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also testifying, and the thoughts between one another accusing or also defending [them]
Romans 2:16	on the day when God judges the secrets of men according to my gospel through Christ Jesus.
Romans 2:17	But if you are named a Jew and rest upon the law and boast in God,
Romans 2:18	and you know the will and approve the [things] being superior, being instructed out of the law,
Romans 2:19	and you have persuaded yourself [that you] are a guide of the blind, a light to those in darkness,
Romans 2:20	an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth—
Romans 2:21	then [you] who are teaching another, do you not teach yourself? [You] who are preaching not to steal, do you steal?
Romans 2:22	[You] who are saying not to commit adultery, do you commit adultery? [You] who are abhorring idols, do you rob temples?
Romans 2:23	[You] who boast in the law, do you dishonor God through the transgression of the law?
Romans 2:24	As it has been written: “For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you⁺.”
Romans 2:25	For circumcision indeed profits if you practice the law; but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Romans 2:26	Therefore if the uncircumcision keeps the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be reckoned as circumcision?
Romans 2:27	And the uncircumcision by nature, fulfilling the law, will judge you who through the letter and circumcision [are] a transgressor of the law.
Romans 2:28	For [it is] not the one [who] on the outside is a Jew, nor [is] [that] on the outside in flesh circumcision.
Romans 2:29	But a Jew [is one] on the inside, and circumcision [is] of heart, in spirit, not in letter, of whom the praise [is] not of men, but of God.
Romans 3:1	What then [is] the superiority of the Jew? Or what [is] the profit of the circumcision?
Romans 3:2	Much in every way. For first indeed, that they were entrusted with the oracles of God.
Romans 3:3	For what If some disbelieved? Will their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God?
Romans 3:4	Never may it be! But let God be true and every man a liar, as it has been written: “So that You may be justified in Your words, and you will be victorious in Your judging.”
Romans 3:5	But if our unrighteousness proves God’s righteousness, what will we say? God, inflicting the wrath, [is] unrighteous? I speak according to man.
Romans 3:6	Never may it be! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?
Romans 3:7	But if the truth of God in my falsehood abounded to His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
Romans 3:8	And [is it] not, as we are slandered and as some affirm us to say, “Let us do evil so that the good may come”? Their judgment is just.
Romans 3:9	What then? Are we better? Not at all. For we charged before both Jews and Greeks with being all under sin.
Romans 3:10	As it has been written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
Romans 3:11	there is no one understanding; there is no one seeking out God.
Romans 3:12	All turned away; together they became worthless; there is none who is doing kindness, there is not even one.”
Romans 3:13	“Their throat [is] a grave having been opened; they keep practicing deceit with their tongues;” “the poison of vipers [is] under their lips,”
Romans 3:14	“of whom the mouth is full of cursing and of bitterness;”
Romans 3:15	“their feet [are] swift to shed blood;
Romans 3:16	ruin and misery [are] in their paths;
Romans 3:17	and a way of peace they did not know.”
Romans 3:18	“There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
Romans 3:19	Now we know that as much as the law says, it speaks to those in the law, so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be under judgment to God.
Romans 3:20	Therefore by works of the law, not any flesh will be justified before Him; for through the law [is] knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:21	But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, being testified to by the Law and the Prophets.
Romans 3:22	And the righteousness of God [is] through faith from Jesus Christ toward all those believing. For there is no distinction,
Romans 3:23	for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:24	being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that [is] in Christ Jesus,
Romans 3:25	whom God set forth as a propitiation through faith in His blood, for a demonstration of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins having taken place beforehand in the forbearance of God,
Romans 3:26	for the demonstration of His righteousness in the present time, for Him to be just and justifying the one of the faith from Jesus.
Romans 3:27	Where then [is] the boasting? It was excluded. By what kind of law? That of works? No, but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:28	For we reckon a man to be justified by faith apart from works of law.
Romans 3:29	Or [is He] the God of Jews only, not also of Gentiles? Yes, also of Gentiles,
Romans 3:30	since indeed God [is] one, who will justify the circumcision by faith and the uncircumcision through the [same] faith.
Romans 3:31	Do we, then, nullify the law through faith? Never may it be! Rather, we uphold the law.
Romans 4:1	What then will we say [that] Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found?
Romans 4:2	For if Abraham was justified by works, he has a ground of boasting, but not before God.
Romans 4:3	For what does the Scripture say? “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”
Romans 4:4	Now to the one working, the wage is not reckoned according to grace, but according to debt.
Romans 4:5	But to the one not working but believing on the One justifying the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,
Romans 4:6	just as David also declares the blessedness of the man to whom God reckons righteousness apart from works:
Romans 4:7	“Blessed [are] [those] whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered;
Romans 4:8	blessed [is] the man to whom the Lord shall never reckon sin.”
Romans 4:9	[Is] this blessedness, then, on the circumcision, or also on the uncircumcision? For we are saying faith was reckoned to Abraham as righteousness.
Romans 4:10	How then was it reckoned—being in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Romans 4:11	And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith that [he had while] in the uncircumcision, for him to be father of all those believing through uncircumcision, for the righteousness to be reckoned also to them,
Romans 4:12	and father of circumcision to those not only of circumcision, but also to those walking in the footsteps of the faith of our father Abraham in uncircumcision.
Romans 4:13	For not through law [was] the promise to Abraham or his seed [for] him to be heir [of] the world, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:14	For if those of the law [are] heirs, faith has been made void and the promise has been nullified.
Romans 4:15	For the law brings about wrath; and where there is no law, neither [is there] transgression.
Romans 4:16	Because of this [it is] of faith, so that [it may be] according to grace for the promise to be sure to all the seed, not only to that of the law, but also to that of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
Romans 4:17	(as it has been written: “A father of many nations I have set you”) before [Him] whom he believed—God, the One making alive the dead and calling existing the [things] not as existing—
Romans 4:18	who against hope in hope believed, for him to become the father of many nations, according to that having been spoken, “So will your seed be.”
Romans 4:19	And not having become weak in the faith, he considered his body already having become dead, being about a hundred years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.
Romans 4:20	Yet he did not doubt in unbelief in the promise of God, but was empowered in faith, having given glory to God,
Romans 4:21	and having been fully assured that what He has promised, He is also able to do.
Romans 4:22	Therefore also “it was reckoned to him as righteousness.”
Romans 4:23	Now it was not written because of him alone that “it was reckoned to him,”
Romans 4:24	but also because of us, to whom it is about to be reckoned, to those believing on the One having raised Jesus our Lord out from the dead,
Romans 4:25	who was delivered over because of our trespasses, and was raised because of our justification.
Romans 5:1	Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
Romans 5:2	through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
Romans 5:3	And not only [so], but also we boast in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
Romans 5:4	and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Romans 5:5	And hope does not put [us] to shame, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit, the One having been given to us.
Romans 5:6	Still indeed Christ, [in] our still being weak, according to the right time, died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:7	For hardly anyone will die for a righteous [man], though for the good [man] perhaps someone would even dare to die.
Romans 5:8	But God demonstrates His own love to us, that [in] our being still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:9	Therefore much more, having been justified now by His blood, we will be saved by Him from wrath!
Romans 5:10	For if, being enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we will be saved in His life!
Romans 5:11	And not only [so], but also we are boasting in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we now received reconciliation.
Romans 5:12	Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed through to all men, because all sinned.
Romans 5:13	For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed, there being no law.
Romans 5:14	Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those not having sinned in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the coming One.
Romans 5:15	But not as the trespass, so also [is] the gracious gift; for if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more the grace of God and the gift in grace, that of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded to the many!
Romans 5:16	And not as through one having sinned [is] the gift; for indeed the judgment out of one [is] to condemnation; but the gracious gift out of many trespasses [is] to justification.
Romans 5:17	For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those receiving the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ!
Romans 5:18	So then, just as through one trespass [is] condemnation to all men so also through one righteous act [is] justification of life to all men.
Romans 5:19	For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.
Romans 5:20	And the law entered so that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace overabounded,
Romans 5:21	so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:1	What then will we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may abound?
Romans 6:2	Never may it be! [We] who died to sin, how shall we still live in it?
Romans 6:3	Or are you⁺ ignorant that as many as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?
Romans 6:4	We were buried, therefore, with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised out from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5	For if we have become united in the likeness of His death, yet also we will be of the resurrection,
Romans 6:6	knowing this, that our old man was crucified with [Him], so that the body of sin might be nullified, [for] us no longer to be slaves to sin.
Romans 6:7	For the one having died has been justified from sin.
Romans 6:8	Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,
Romans 6:9	knowing that Christ, having been raised out from the dead, dies no more; death no longer rules over Him.
Romans 6:10	For that which He died, He died to sin once for all; but that which He lives, He lives to God.
Romans 6:11	So also you⁺, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:12	Therefore do not let sin reign in your⁺ mortal body, in order to obey its desires.
Romans 6:13	Neither present your⁺ members to sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as living out from the dead, and your⁺ members to God [as] instruments of righteousness.
Romans 6:14	For sin will not rule over you⁺, for you⁺ are not under law, but under grace.
Romans 6:15	What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Never may it be!
Romans 6:16	Do you⁺ not know that to whom you⁺ present yourselves [as] slaves for obedience, you⁺ are slaves to the one whom you⁺ obey, whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Romans 6:17	But thanks [be] to God that you⁺ used to be slaves of sin, but you⁺ obeyed from the heart the form of teaching to which you⁺ were delivered up.
Romans 6:18	Now having been set free from sin, you⁺ became slaves to righteousness.
Romans 6:19	I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your⁺ flesh. For just as you⁺ presented your⁺ members [as] slaves to uncleanness and to lawlessness unto lawlessness, so now present your⁺ members [as] slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.
Romans 6:20	For when you⁺ were slaves of sin, you⁺ were free from righteousness.
Romans 6:21	What fruit, therefore, were you⁺ having then in the [things] of which you⁺ are now ashamed? For the end of those [things] [is] death.
Romans 6:22	But now, having been set free from sin and having become slaves to God, you⁺ have your⁺ fruit unto sanctification, and the end [is] eternal life.
Romans 6:23	For the wages of sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 7:1	Or are you⁺ ignorant, brothers (for I speak to those knowing the law), that the law rules over the man for as long as the time he lives?
Romans 7:2	For the married woman is bound by law to the living husband; but if the husband should die, she is released from the law of the husband.
Romans 7:3	So then, of the husband being alive, if she becomes unto another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if the husband should die, she is free from the law, [so as] not for her to be an adulteress, having become unto another man.
Romans 7:4	Likewise, my brothers, you⁺ also have been put to death to the law through the body of Christ, for you⁺ to become unto another, unto the One having been raised out from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to God.
Romans 7:5	For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins that [were] through the law were working in our members, to the bearing of fruit to death.
Romans 7:6	But now we have been released from the law, having died to that by which we were held, so as for us to serve in the newness of the Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:7	What then will we say? [Is] the law sin? Never may it be! But I did not know sin, if not through the law. For I would not have been conscious of covetousness if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
Romans 7:8	But sin, having taken the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all covetousness; for apart from the law, sin [is] dead.
Romans 7:9	And I was once alive apart from the law, but [on] the commandment's having come, sin revived and I died;
Romans 7:10	and the commandment that [was] unto life, this was found by me unto death.
Romans 7:11	For sin, having taken the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed [me].
Romans 7:12	So indeed, the law [is] holy, and the commandment [is] holy and righteous and good.
Romans 7:13	Did that which [is] good, then, become death to me? Never may it be! But so that sin might be shown as sin, it is producing death through that which [is] good to me, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond excess.
Romans 7:14	For we have known that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, having been sold as a slave under sin.
Romans 7:15	For what I carry out, I do not understand. For what I want, this I do not practice; but what I hate, this I do.
Romans 7:16	Now if what I do not want, this I do, I assent to the law, that [it is] good.
Romans 7:17	But now I no longer carry it out, but the sin dwelling in me.
Romans 7:18	For I know that there does not dwell in me—that is, in my flesh—good. For to want is present with me, but not to carry out the good.
Romans 7:19	For the good that I want, I do not do; but the evil that I do not want, this I practice.
Romans 7:20	Now if what I do not want, this I do, no longer do I carry it out, but sin dwelling in me.
Romans 7:21	I find, then, the law in my wanting to do good, that evil is present with me.
Romans 7:22	For I delight in the law of God according to the inner man,
Romans 7:23	but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin being in my members.
Romans 7:24	O wretched man [that] I am! Who will deliver me out of this body of death?
Romans 7:25	But thanks [be] to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself indeed with the mind serve God’s law, but [with] the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 8:1	Therefore [there is] now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:2	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set you free from the law of sin and death.
Romans 8:3	For what the law [was] incapable of in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent His Son in the likeness of flesh of sin and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh,
Romans 8:4	so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, those not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:5	For those being according to the flesh mind the [things] of the flesh, but those according to the Spirit the [things] of the Spirit.
Romans 8:6	For the mind of the flesh [is] death, but the mind of the Spirit [is] life and peace,
Romans 8:7	because the mind of the flesh [is] hostility toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for [it is] not even able.
Romans 8:8	And those being in the flesh are not able to please God.
Romans 8:9	But you⁺ are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you⁺; and if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, this one is not of Him.
Romans 8:10	But if Christ [is] in you⁺, the body [is] indeed dead because of sin, but the spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:11	And if the Spirit of the One having raised Jesus out from the dead dwells in you⁺, the One having raised Christ Jesus out from the dead will also make alive your⁺ mortal bodies through His Spirit, the One dwelling in you⁺.
Romans 8:12	So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
Romans 8:13	For if you⁺ live according to the flesh, you⁺ are about to die; but if by the Spirit you⁺ put to death the deeds of the body, you⁺ will live.
Romans 8:14	For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:15	For you⁺ did not receive a spirit of slavery again unto fear, but you⁺ received the Spirit of adoption as sons, in whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
Romans 8:16	The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
Romans 8:17	and if children, also heirs: heirs indeed of God, and co-heirs of Christ, if indeed we suffer with [Him], so that we may also be glorified with [Him].
Romans 8:18	For I reckon that the sufferings of the present time [are] not comparable to the glory about to be revealed in us.
Romans 8:19	For the eager expectation of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God.
Romans 8:20	For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of the One having subjected [it], in hope
Romans 8:21	that the creation itself will also be set free from the bondage of decay, into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.
Romans 8:22	For we know that all the creation groans together and travails together until now.
Romans 8:23	And not only [so], but we ourselves, even having the firstfruit of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly awaiting adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:24	For in hope we were saved, but hope being seen is not hope. For does anyone hope for what he sees?
Romans 8:25	But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly await in perseverance.
Romans 8:26	Now likewise also, the Spirit joins to help in our weakness; for we do not know the [things] that we should pray for as it is necessary, but the Spirit Himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings.
Romans 8:27	And the One searching hearts knows what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to God.
Romans 8:28	And we know that God works together all things for good to those loving God, to those being called according to purpose,
Romans 8:29	because whom He foreknew, He also predestined [to be] conformed to the image of His Son, for Him to be firstborn among many brothers.
Romans 8:30	And whom He predestined, these also He called; and whom He called, these also He justified; and whom He justified, these also He glorified.
Romans 8:31	What then will we say to these things? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us—
Romans 8:32	He who indeed did not spare [His] own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:33	Who will bring an accusation against the chosen ones of God? God [is] the One justifying.
Romans 8:34	Who [is] the one condemning? Christ Jesus the One having died, now rather having been raised, [is] He who is also at the right hand of God, and who is interceding for us.
Romans 8:35	Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Romans 8:36	As it has been written: “For Your sake we face death all the day; we were reckoned as sheep of slaughter.”
Romans 8:37	But in all these things we are more than conquerors through the One having loved us.
Romans 8:38	For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things about to be, nor powers,
Romans 8:39	nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God that [is] in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 9:1	I speak truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience is testifying with me in the Holy Spirit
Romans 9:2	that sorrow to me is great, and unceasing pain [is] in my heart.
Romans 9:3	For I could wish myself to be accursed, apart from Christ for my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh,
Romans 9:4	who are Israelites, whose [is] the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the lawgiving and the service and the promises,
Romans 9:5	whose [are] the fathers, and from whom [is] Christ according to the flesh, being God over all, blessed to the ages! Amen.
Romans 9:6	But [it is] not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who [are] of Israel, [are] these Israel.
Romans 9:7	Nor because they are seed of Abraham [are] all children. Rather, “In Isaac a seed will be called to you.”
Romans 9:8	That is, the children of the flesh, these [are] not children of God; but the children of the promise are reckoned for seed.
Romans 9:9	For this [is] the word of promise: “At this time I will come, and to Sarah there will be a son.”
Romans 9:10	And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conception by one, Isaac our father—
Romans 9:11	for they not yet having been born nor having done anything good or evil, so that the purpose of God according to election might stand—
Romans 9:12	not of works but of the One calling, it was said to her, “The greater will serve the lesser.”
Romans 9:13	As it has been written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”
Romans 9:14	What then will we say? [Is there] injustice with God? Never may it be!
Romans 9:15	For He says to Moses: “I will have mercy on whom I may have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I may have compassion.”
Romans 9:16	So then, [it is] not of the one willing, nor of the one running, but of God having mercy.
Romans 9:17	For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “For this very thing I raised you up, so that I might display My power in you, and that My name should be declared in all the earth.”
Romans 9:18	So then, He has mercy on whom He wants, and He hardens whom He wants.
Romans 9:19	You will say, then, to me, “Why then does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?”
Romans 9:20	But rather, O man, who are you answering against God? [Will] the thing formed say to the One having formed [it], “Why did you make me thus?”
Romans 9:21	Or does the potter not have authority over the clay to make out of the same lump the one vessel indeed for honor, but the one for dishonor?
Romans 9:22	And [what] if God, desiring to display the wrath and to make known His power, bore with much patience vessels of wrath, having been fitted for destruction,
Romans 9:23	so that He might also make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
Romans 9:24	even us, whom He called not only out from Jews, but also out from Gentiles?
Romans 9:25	As He also says in Hosea: “I will call that which [is] not My people ‘My People,’ and her not beloved ‘Beloved,’”
Romans 9:26	and, “It will be [that] in the place where it was said to them, ‘You⁺ [are] not My people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.””
Romans 9:27	And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel may be like the sand of the sea, [only] the remnant will be saved.
Romans 9:28	For the Lord will execute [His] word, finishing and accomplishing swiftly upon the earth.”
Romans 9:29	And, as Isaiah forewarned: “Unless the Lord of Hosts had left us a seed, we would have become like Sodom, and we would have been made like Gomorrah.”
Romans 9:30	What then will we say? That the Gentiles, not pursuing righteousness, obtained righteousness—and righteousness that [is] by faith;
Romans 9:31	but Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, did not attain to [that] law.
Romans 9:32	Why? Because [it was] not by faith, but as by works. They stumbled over the stone of stumbling,
Romans 9:33	as it has been written: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one believing on Him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:1	Brothers, indeed the good pleasure of my heart and [my] supplication to God on behalf of them [is] for salvation.
Romans 10:2	For I testify about them that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans 10:3	For being ignorant of the righteousness of God and seeking to establish [their] own righteousness, they did not submit to the righteousness of God.
Romans 10:4	For the end of law [is] Christ, unto righteousness to everyone believing.
Romans 10:5	For Moses writes [of] the righteousness that [is] of the law, that, “The man having done these things will live in them.”
Romans 10:6	But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: “You should not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring down Christ),
Romans 10:7	or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring up Christ out from the dead).”
Romans 10:8	But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith that we proclaim,
Romans 10:9	that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus [is] Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him out from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:10	For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation.
Romans 10:11	For the Scripture says, “Everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.”
Romans 10:12	For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all those calling upon Him,
Romans 10:13	for, “Whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans 10:14	How then can they call upon One in whom they did not believe? And how can they believe in One of whom they did not hear? And how can they hear apart from one preaching?
Romans 10:15	And how can they preach unless they can be sent? As it has been written: “How beautiful [are] the feet of those proclaiming good news of good things!”
Romans 10:16	But not all heeded the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?”
Romans 10:17	So faith [is] by hearing, and hearing [is] through the word of Christ.
Romans 10:18	But I say, did they not hear? Indeed: “Their voice went out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
Romans 10:19	But I say, did Israel not know? First, Moses says: “I will provoke you⁺ to jealousy by [those] not a nation; I will provoke you⁺ to anger by a nation without understanding.”
Romans 10:20	And Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those not seeking Me; I made [Myself] manifest to those not inquiring after Me.”
Romans 10:21	But to Israel he says: “All the day I stretched out My hands to a disobeying and contradicting people.”
Romans 11:1	I say then, did God thrust away His people? Never may it be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Romans 11:2	God did not thrust away His people, whom He foreknew. Or do you⁺ not know what the Scripture says in Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel:
Romans 11:3	“Lord, they killed Your prophets, they tore down Your altars, and I alone was left, and they seek my life”?
Romans 11:4	But what does the divine answer say to him? “I left to Myself seven thousand men, who did not bow the knee to Baal.”
Romans 11:5	So then also in the present time, there has been a remnant according to the election of grace,
Romans 11:6	and if by grace, no longer out of works; otherwise grace no longer is grace.
Romans 11:7	What then? What Israel seeks after, this it did not obtain, but the elect obtained [it]. And the rest were hardened,
Romans 11:8	as it has been written: God gave “them a spirit of stupor, eyes not to see, and ears not to hear, unto this very day.”
Romans 11:9	And David says: May their table “become for a snare and for a trap, and for a stumbling block and for a retribution to them.
Romans 11:10	May their eyes be darkened not to see, and their backs bent over through all [time].”
Romans 11:11	I say then, did they stumble so that they might fall? Never may it be! But in their trespass [is] salvation to the Gentiles, so as to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans 11:12	But if their trespass [is] the riches of the world, and their failure [is] the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!
Romans 11:13	Now I speak to you⁺, the Gentiles. Therefore indeed inasmuch I am an apostle of the Gentiles, I glorify my ministry,
Romans 11:14	if somehow I will provoke my [own] flesh to jealousy and will save some of them.
Romans 11:15	For if their rejection [is] the reconciliation of the world, what [will be] the acceptance if not life out from the dead?
Romans 11:16	Now if the firstfruit [is] holy, also [is] the lump; and if the root [is] holy, also [are] the branches.
Romans 11:17	But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them and became a fellow partaker of the fatness of the root of the olive tree,
Romans 11:18	do not boast over the branches. But if you boast over [them], you do not support the root, but the root you.
Romans 11:19	You will say, then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”
Romans 11:20	Rightly so: They were broken off by unbelief, but you have stood by faith. Do not be high-minded, but be afraid.
Romans 11:21	For if God did not spare the natural branches, perhaps He will not spare you.
Romans 11:22	Behold, therefore, the kindness and severity of God: severity indeed upon those having fallen, but kindness of God upon you, if you continue in the kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off.
Romans 11:23	And even those, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again.
Romans 11:24	For if you were cut off out of the naturally wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural, be grafted into [their] own olive tree!
Romans 11:25	For I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you⁺ may not be wise in yourselves: A hardening in part has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles may come in.
Romans 11:26	And thus all Israel will be saved, as it has been written: “The Delivering One will come out of Zion; He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
Romans 11:27	And this [is] the covenant from Me to them, when I may take away their sins.”
Romans 11:28	For regarding the gospel, [they are] enemies on account of you⁺; but as regards election, beloved on account of the fathers.
Romans 11:29	For the gracious gifts and the calling of God [are] irrevocable.
Romans 11:30	For as you⁺ once disobeyed God, but now received mercy by the disobedience of these,
Romans 11:31	so these also now disobeyed so that through your⁺ mercy they also may now receive mercy.
Romans 11:32	For God closed up all in disobedience so that He may have mercy on all.
Romans 11:33	O, the depth of riches, both of wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!
Romans 11:34	“For who knew the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor?”
Romans 11:35	Or “who first gave to Him, and it will be given back to him?”
Romans 11:36	For from Him and through Him and unto Him [are] all things. To Him [be] the glory to the ages! Amen.
Romans 12:1	Therefore I exhort you⁺, brothers, through the compassions of God, to present your⁺ bodies [as] a living sacrifice, holy to God, well-pleasing, which is your⁺ reasonable service.
Romans 12:2	And do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind, for you⁺ to discern what [is] the good and well-pleasing and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:3	For through the grace having been given to me, I say to everyone being among you⁺ not to be high-minded above what it is necessary to think, but to think so as to be sound-minded, as God allotted to each a measure of faith.
Romans 12:4	For just as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function,
Romans 12:5	so we, the many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Romans 12:6	And we are having different gifts according to the grace having been given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;
Romans 12:7	and if service, in the service; and if teaching, in the teaching;
Romans 12:8	and if exhorting, in the exhortation; giving, in generosity; leading, in diligence; showing mercy, in cheerfulness.
Romans 12:9	[Let] love [be] unfeigned: abhorring evil, cleaving to good,
Romans 12:10	devoted to one another in brotherly love, esteeming one another in honor,
Romans 12:11	not slothful in diligence, being fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
Romans 12:12	rejoicing in hope, enduring in tribulation, persisting in prayer,
Romans 12:13	contributing to the needs of the saints, pursuing hospitality.
Romans 12:14	Bless those persecuting you⁺; bless and do not curse,
Romans 12:15	to rejoice with the rejoicing, to weep with the weeping,
Romans 12:16	minding the same thing toward one another, not minding the high [things], but going along with the lowly. Do not be wise in yourselves,
Romans 12:17	repaying to no one evil for evil, giving forethought to right [things] before all men;
Romans 12:18	if possible of you⁺, being at peace with all men;
Romans 12:19	not avenging yourselves, beloved; but give place to wrath, for it has been written: “Vengeance [is] Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Romans 12:20	Rather, “If your enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him a drink; for doing this, you will heap coals of fire upon his head.”
Romans 12:21	Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil in good.
Romans 13:1	Let every soul be subject to the authorities being above [him]. For there is no authority except by God; but those existing are appointed by God.
Romans 13:2	Therefore the one setting [himself] against the authority has resisted the ordinance of God, and those having resisted will receive judgment to themselves.
Romans 13:3	For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Now do you want not to fear the authority? Do that which [is] good, and you will have praise from him.
Romans 13:4	For he is God’s servant to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is God’s servant, an avenger for wrath to the one practicing evil.
Romans 13:5	Therefore [it is] necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath, but also because of the conscience.
Romans 13:6	For because of this, you⁺ also pay taxes; for they are ministers of God, attending continually to this very thing.
Romans 13:7	Pay to all their dues: tax to whom tax, revenue to whom revenue, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.
Romans 13:8	Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one loving the other has fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:9	For, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and if any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Romans 13:10	Love works no evil to the neighbor; therefore love [is] the fulfillment of the law.
Romans 13:11	And do this, knowing the time, that [it is] already the hour for you⁺ to be awakened out of sleep; for our salvation [is] nearer now than when we came to believe.
Romans 13:12	The night is advanced, and the day has drawn near; therefore let us lay aside the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
Romans 13:13	Let us walk properly as in daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.
Romans 13:14	But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no forethought for the desires of the flesh.
Romans 14:1	And receive the one being weak in the faith, not for passing judgment on reasonings.
Romans 14:2	Indeed, one believes to eat all things, but the one being weak eats vegetables.
Romans 14:3	The one eating, let him not despise the one not eating; and the one not eating, let him not judge the one eating, for God received him.
Romans 14:4	Who are you, judging another’s servant? To [his] own master he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
Romans 14:5	For indeed, one judges a day above a day, but one judges every day [alike]. Let each be fully assured in [his] own mind.
Romans 14:6	The one regarding the day regards [it] to the Lord; the one eating eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and the one not eating does not eat to the Lord, and he gives thanks to God.
Romans 14:7	For none of us lives to himself, and none dies to himself.
Romans 14:8	For both if we should live, we live to the Lord, and if we should die, we die to the Lord. Therefore both if we should live and if we should die, we are the Lord’s.
Romans 14:9	For unto this Christ died and lived again, so that He might be Lord over both the dead and the living.
Romans 14:10	But why do you judge your brother? Or why also do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.
Romans 14:11	For it has been written: “[As] I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will confess to God.”
Romans 14:12	So then, each of us will give account concerning himself to God.
Romans 14:13	May we no longer, therefore, judge one another; but rather you⁺ decide this, not to put a stumbling block or obstacle before a brother.
Romans 14:14	I know and I am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing [is] unclean of itself, except to him reckoning anything to be unclean, to that one [it is] unclean.
Romans 14:15	For if because of food your brother is grieved, no longer do you walk according to love. Do not destroy with your food that one for whom Christ died.
Romans 14:16	Therefore do not let your⁺ good be spoken of as evil.
Romans 14:17	For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:18	For the one serving Christ in in this [is] well-pleasing to God and approved by men.
Romans 14:19	So then, may we pursue the [things] of peace, and the [things] of building up one another.
Romans 14:20	Do not demolish the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed [are] clean, but [it is] evil to the man eating through a stumbling block.
Romans 14:21	[It is] good neither to eat meat nor to drink wine nor [anything] in which your brother stumbles.
Romans 14:22	The faith that you have, have [it] to yourself before God. Blessed [is] the one not judging himself in what he approves.
Romans 14:23	But the one doubting has been condemned if he eats, because [it is] not of faith; and everything that [is] not of faith is sin.
Romans 15:1	Now we who [are] strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the powerless and not to please ourselves.
Romans 15:2	Let each of us please the neighbor unto good, for building up.
Romans 15:3	For even Christ did not please Himself, but as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me.”
Romans 15:4	For as much as was written before was all written for our instruction, so that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures, we might have the hope.
Romans 15:5	Now may the God of endurance and encouragement grant you⁺ to be of the same mind with one another, according to Christ Jesus,
Romans 15:6	so that with one accord, with one mouth, you⁺ may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:7	Therefore receive one another as Christ also received you⁺, to the glory of God.
Romans 15:8	For I say [that] Christ has become a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, in order to confirm the promises to the fathers,
Romans 15:9	and [for] the Gentiles to glorify God for mercy, as it has been written: “Because of this I will praise You among the Gentiles, and I will sing praises to Your name.”
Romans 15:10	And again it says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people.”
Romans 15:11	And again: “Praise the Lord, all the Gentiles, and extol Him, all the peoples.”
Romans 15:12	And again, Isaiah says: “There will be the root of Jesse, and the One arising to rule over the Gentiles; in Him the Gentiles will hope.”
Romans 15:13	And may the God of hope fill you⁺ with all joy and peace in believing, for you⁺ to abound in hope in the power [of] the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:14	And I myself also am persuaded concerning you⁺, my brothers, that you yourselves are also full of goodness, being filled with all knowledge, and being able to admonish one another.
Romans 15:15	But I wrote to you⁺ more boldly in part, as reminding you⁺, because of the grace having been given to me by God
Romans 15:16	for me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest in the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles might become acceptable, having been sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:17	Therefore I have ground for boasting in Christ Jesus [in] the [things] pertaining to God.
Romans 15:18	For I will not dare to speak of anything that Christ did not work through me for the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,
Romans 15:19	in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so as for me, from Jerusalem and around as far as Illyricum, to have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ,
Romans 15:20	and thus striving earnestly to preach the gospel where Christ was not named, so that I might not build upon another’s foundation.
Romans 15:21	But as it has been written: “They will see, to whom it was not announced concerning Him; and those who have not heard will understand.”
Romans 15:22	Therefore also I was being himdered many [times] from coming to you⁺.
Romans 15:23	But now, no longer having a place in these regions, and having a great desire for many years to come to you⁺,
Romans 15:24	as I may go to Spain, I hope, for going through, to see you⁺ and to be sent forth there by you⁺, if first I should be filled up of you⁺ in part.
Romans 15:25	But now I am going to Jerusalem, serving the saints.
Romans 15:26	For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make some contribution for the poor of the saints who [are] in Jerusalem.
Romans 15:27	For they were pleased, and they are debtors of them. For if the Gentiles have shared in their spiritual [things], they ought also to minister to them in the fleshly [things].
Romans 15:28	Therefore, having completed this, and having sealed this fruit to them, I will depart through you⁺ to Spain.
Romans 15:29	And I know that coming to you⁺ I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.
Romans 15:30	Now I exhort you⁺, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,
Romans 15:31	so that I may be delivered from the unbelieving ones in Judea, and [that] my service in Jerusalem may be acceptable to the saints,
Romans 15:32	so that having come to you⁺ in joy, through the will of God I may be refreshed together with you⁺.
Romans 15:33	Now the God of peace [be] with all of you⁺. Amen.
Romans 16:1	Now I commend to you⁺ Phoebe our sister, being also a servant of the church in Cenchrea,
Romans 16:2	so that you⁺ might receive her in the Lord worthily of the saints, and you⁺ might assist her in whatever matter she may need of you⁺. For she also has been a patroness of many, and of myself.
Romans 16:3	Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus—
Romans 16:4	who laid down their own neck for my life, whom not only I thank, but also all the churches of the Gentiles—
Romans 16:5	and the church at their house. Greet Epenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruit of Asia for Christ.
Romans 16:6	Greet Mary, who toiled much for you⁺.
Romans 16:7	Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are notable among the apostles and who were in Christ before me.
Romans 16:8	Greet Ampliatus, my beloved in the Lord.
Romans 16:9	Greet Urbanus, our fellow worker in Christ, and my beloved Stachys.
Romans 16:10	Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those of the [household] of Aristobulus.
Romans 16:11	Greet Herodion, my kinsman. Greet those of the [household] of Narcissus being in the Lord.
Romans 16:12	Greet Tryphena and Tryphosa, those toiling in the Lord. Greet Persis, the beloved, who toiled much in the Lord.
Romans 16:13	Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Romans 16:14	Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers with them.
Romans 16:15	Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas and all the saints with them.
Romans 16:16	Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you⁺.
Romans 16:17	Now I exhort you⁺, brothers, to watch out for those causing divisions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you⁺ learned, and turn away from them.
Romans 16:18	For such do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and through smooth talk and blessing they deceive the hearts of the innocent.
Romans 16:19	For your⁺ obedience has reached to all. Therefore I rejoice over you⁺. But I want you⁺ to be wise to good, and innocent to evil.
Romans 16:20	And the God of peace will crush Satan under your⁺ feet in quickness. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you⁺.
Romans 16:21	Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you⁺; [so] also Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.
Romans 16:22	I, Tertius, the one having written the letter, greet you⁺ in the Lord.
Romans 16:23	Gaius, the host of me and of the whole church, greets you⁺. Erastus the steward of the city greets you⁺; [so] also Quartus the brother.
Romans 16:24	
Romans 16:25	Now to Him being able to strengthen you⁺ according to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery having been kept silent in the times of the ages,
Romans 16:26	but now having been made manifest also through the prophetic writings, according to the commandment of the eternal God having been made known to all the Gentiles unto obedience of faith—
Romans 16:27	[to] the only wise God [be] the glory unto the ages of the ages, which [is] through Jesus Christ! Amen.
1 Corinthians 1:1	Paul, a called apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Sosthenes the brother,
1 Corinthians 1:2	To the church of God being in Corinth, having been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all those in every place calling on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, theirs and ours:
1 Corinthians 1:3	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:4	I thank my God always concerning you⁺ for the grace of God having been given to you⁺ in Christ Jesus,
1 Corinthians 1:5	that in everything you⁺ were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,
1 Corinthians 1:6	even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you⁺,
1 Corinthians 1:7	so as for you⁺ not to be lacking in [any] gift, eagerly awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Corinthians 1:8	who also will confirm you⁺ until the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:9	Faithful [is] God, by whom you⁺ were called into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:10	Now I exhort you⁺, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you⁺ may speak the same thing and there may be no divisions among you⁺, but you⁺ may be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:11	For it was revealed to me concerning you⁺, my brothers, by those of Chloe, that there are contentions among you⁺.
1 Corinthians 1:12	Now I say this, that each of you⁺ says, “I am indeed of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”
1 Corinthians 1:13	Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you⁺? Or were you⁺ baptized into the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:14	I thank God that I baptized none of you⁺ except Crispus and Gaius,
1 Corinthians 1:15	so that no one can say that you⁺ were baptized into my name.
1 Corinthians 1:16	Now also I baptized the household of Stephanas; as to the rest, I do not know if I baptized any other.
1 Corinthians 1:17	For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in wisdom of word, so that the cross of the Christ should not be made void.
1 Corinthians 1:18	For the word of the cross is foolishness to those indeed perishing, but to us, those being saved, it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:19	For it has been written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will set aside.”
1 Corinthians 1:20	Where [is] the wise [man]? Where [is] the scribe? Where [is] the debater of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of the world?
1 Corinthians 1:21	For since in the wisdom of God the world through wisdom did not know God, God was well pleased through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.
1 Corinthians 1:22	Since also Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom,
1 Corinthians 1:23	we, however, preach Christ having been crucified, a stumbling block indeed to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,
1 Corinthians 1:24	but to those called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians 1:25	For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 1:26	For consider your⁺ calling, brothers, that not many [were] wise according to the flesh, not many powerful, not many of noble birth.
1 Corinthians 1:27	But God chose the foolish [things] of the world so that He might shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world so that He might shame the strong;
1 Corinthians 1:28	and the lowborn of the world, and the [things] being despised, God also chose—the [things] not being—that He might nullify the [things] being,
1 Corinthians 1:29	so that not any flesh might boast before God.
1 Corinthians 1:30	But out of Him you⁺ are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
1 Corinthians 1:31	so that, as it has been written: “The one boasting, let him boast in the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 2:1	And I, having come to you⁺, brothers, did not come according to excellence of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you⁺ the testimony of God.
1 Corinthians 2:2	For I decided not to know anything among you⁺ except Jesus Christ and Him having been crucified.
1 Corinthians 2:3	And I was with you⁺ in weakness and in fear and in much trembling.
1 Corinthians 2:4	And my speech and my preaching [were] not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
1 Corinthians 2:5	so that your⁺ faith may not be in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians 2:6	But we speak wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
1 Corinthians 2:7	But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery having been hidden away, which God predestined before the ages for our glory,
1 Corinthians 2:8	which none of the rulers of this age has known. For if they had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1 Corinthians 2:9	But as it has been written: “What no eye has seen, and no ear has heard, and has not gone up upon the heart of man—as much as God prepared for those loving Him.”
1 Corinthians 2:10	For God revealed [it] to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
1 Corinthians 2:11	For who of men knows the [things] of the man except the spirit of the man that [is] in him? So also, no one has known the [things] of God except the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:12	Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who [is] from God, so that we may know the [things] having been graciously given to us by God,
1 Corinthians 2:13	which also we speak, not in words taught of human wisdom, but in [those] taught of the Spirit, expressing spiritual things by spiritual [means].
1 Corinthians 2:14	But the natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:15	But the spiritual [man] judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one.
1 Corinthians 2:16	For “who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:1	And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you⁺ as to spiritual but as to fleshly—as to infants in Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:2	I gave you⁺ milk to drink, not food, for you⁺ were not yet able. But now you⁺ are still not able,
1 Corinthians 3:3	for you⁺ are still fleshly. For where jealousy and strife [are] among you⁺, are you⁺ not fleshly and walking according to man?
1 Corinthians 3:4	For when one may say, “I am indeed of Paul,” and another, “I of Apollos,” are you⁺ not men?
1 Corinthians 3:5	Who then is Apollos? And who is Paul? Servants through whom you⁺ believed, even as the Lord gave to each.
1 Corinthians 3:6	I planted, Apollos watered, but God was giving growth.
1 Corinthians 3:7	So neither the one planting nor the one watering is anything, but [only] God, the One giving growth.
1 Corinthians 3:8	Now the one planting and the one watering are one, and each will receive [his] own reward according to [his] own labor.
1 Corinthians 3:9	For we are God’s fellow workers; you⁺ are God’s field, God’s building.
1 Corinthians 3:10	According to the grace of God having been given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, but another is building upon [it]. But let each one take heed how he builds upon [it].
1 Corinthians 3:11	For no one is able to lay another foundation besides the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:12	Now if anyone builds upon the foundation [with] gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, [or] straw,
1 Corinthians 3:13	the work of each will become manifest, for the day will make [it] evident, because it is revealed in fire, and the fire itself will prove the work of each, what sort it is.
1 Corinthians 3:14	If the work of anyone that he built up will remain, he will receive a reward.
1 Corinthians 3:15	If the work of anyone will be burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, but only as through fire.
1 Corinthians 3:16	Do you⁺ not know that you⁺ are God’s temple, and the Spirit of God dwells in you⁺?
1 Corinthians 3:17	If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you⁺ are.
1 Corinthians 3:18	Let no one deceive himself: If anyone thinks [himself] to be wise among you⁺ in this age, let him become foolish, so that he may become wise.
1 Corinthians 3:19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it has been written: “[He is] the One catching the wise in their craftiness,”
1 Corinthians 3:20	and again, “The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are futile.”
1 Corinthians 3:21	Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours⁺,
1 Corinthians 3:22	whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or [things] present or [things] about to be—all [are] yours⁺,
1 Corinthians 3:23	and you⁺ [are] of Christ, and Christ [is] of God.
1 Corinthians 4:1	So let a man reckon us as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1 Corinthians 4:2	Here, henceforth, it is required in the stewards that one should be found faithful.
1 Corinthians 4:3	But to me, it is a very little [thing] that I should be examined by you⁺ or by a human day. Yet neither do I examine myself.
1 Corinthians 4:4	For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I have not been justified by this; but the One examining me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians 4:5	So then do not judge anything before the time, until the Lord shall have come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness and will make manifest the purposes of hearts; and then the praise will come to each from God.
1 Corinthians 4:6	Now I have applied these things, brothers, to myself and Apollos on account of you⁺, so that in us you⁺ may learn, “Not beyond what has been written,” so that not one [of] you⁺ may be puffed up over one against the other.
1 Corinthians 4:7	For who makes you different? And what do you have that you did not receive? And if also you did receive [it], why do you boast as not having received [it]?
1 Corinthians 4:8	Already you⁺ are satiated; already you⁺ were enriched; apart from us you⁺ reigned—and I wish that you⁺ indeed reigned, so that we also might reign together with you⁺.
1 Corinthians 4:9	For I think God set forth us, the apostles, last, as appointed to death, because we became a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
1 Corinthians 4:10	We [are] fools on account of Christ, but you⁺ [are] wise in Christ; we [are] weak, but you⁺ [are] strong; you⁺ [are] glorious, but we [are] without honor.
1 Corinthians 4:11	As far as the present hour, we both hunger and thirst, and are poorly clothed, and are battered, and wander homeless,
1 Corinthians 4:12	and we toil, working with [our] own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we bear [it];
1 Corinthians 4:13	being slandered, we entreat. We became as the scum of the world, the refuse of all, until now.
1 Corinthians 4:14	I do not write these things shaming you⁺, but admonishing [you] as my beloved children.
1 Corinthians 4:15	For although you⁺ may have ten thousand guardians in Christ, yet not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I begat you⁺ through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:16	Therefore I exhort you⁺, become imitators of me.
1 Corinthians 4:17	Because of this, I sent to you⁺ Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you⁺ of my ways that [are] in Christ Jesus, as I teach everywhere in every church.
1 Corinthians 4:18	Now some were puffed up, as if I were not coming to you⁺.
1 Corinthians 4:19	But I will come to you⁺ shortly, if the Lord might will, and I will know not only the talk of those being puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians 4:20	For the kingdom of God [is] not in word but in power.
1 Corinthians 4:21	What do you⁺ want? Should I come to you⁺ with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?
1 Corinthians 5:1	Sexual immorality is actually heard [of] among you⁺, and sexual immorality such as [is] not even among the nations, so as for one to have the wife of the father.
1 Corinthians 5:2	And you⁺ are puffed up! And did you not rather mourn, so that the one having done this work might be removed out of your⁺ midst?
1 Corinthians 5:3	For I indeed, being absent in body but being present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus carried this out, as being present,
1 Corinthians 5:4	in the name our Lord Jesus, [in] your⁺ having been gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of the Lord Jesus,
1 Corinthians 5:5	to deliver up such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 5:6	Your⁺ boasting [is] not good. Do you⁺ not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?
1 Corinthians 5:7	Cleanse out the old leaven, so that you⁺ may be a new lump, as you⁺ are, unleavened. For also Christ our Passover was sacrificed,
1 Corinthians 5:8	so that we may keep the feast, not with old leaven, not with leaven of malice and wickedness, but with unleavened [bread] of sincerity and of truth.
1 Corinthians 5:9	I wrote to you⁺ in the letter not to associate with sexually immoral [people],
1 Corinthians 5:10	not altogether with the sexually immoral of this world, or with the coveters and swindlers, or idolaters—since then you⁺ would need to go out from the world.
1 Corinthians 5:11	But now I wrote to you⁺ not to associate with anyone being named a brother if he may be sexually immoral or a coveter, or an idolater or a reviler, or a drunkard or a swindler—with such a one not even to eat.
1 Corinthians 5:12	For what [is it] to me to judge those outside? Do you⁺ not judge those inside?
1 Corinthians 5:13	But God judges those outside. “Expel the wicked one from among yourselves.”
1 Corinthians 6:1	Dare any one of you⁺, having a matter against the other, go to be judged before the unrighteous and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians 6:2	Or do you⁺ not know that saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you⁺, are you⁺ unworthy of the least of cases?
1 Corinthians 6:3	Do you⁺ not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of life?
1 Corinthians 6:4	Therefore indeed, if you⁺ have cases [as to] the things of life, do you⁺ seat these, the ones being despised in the church?
1 Corinthians 6:5	I speak to you⁺ for shame. Thus is there no one wise among you⁺ who will be able to discern in the midst of his brother?
1 Corinthians 6:6	But brother goes to be judged against brother, and this before unbelievers!
1 Corinthians 6:7	Therefore indeed, it is already altogether a defeat for you⁺ that you⁺ have lawsuits with one another. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?
1 Corinthians 6:8	But you⁺ do wrong and defraud, and this to brothers!
1 Corinthians 6:9	Or do you⁺ not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be led astray: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
1 Corinthians 6:10	nor thieves, nor coveters, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:11	And some [of] you⁺ were these. But you⁺ were washed, but you⁺ were sanctified, but you⁺ were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:12	“All things are lawful to me,” but not all things profit. “All things are lawful to me,” but I will not be mastered by anything.
1 Corinthians 6:13	“Foods for the belly and the belly for foods,” but God will nullify both this and these. Now the body [is] not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
1 Corinthians 6:14	And God both raised the Lord, and He will raise us up, through His power.
1 Corinthians 6:15	Do you⁺ not know that your⁺ bodies are members of Christ? Having taken, then, the members of the Christ, shall I make [them] members of a prostitute? Never may it be!
1 Corinthians 6:16	Or do you⁺ not know that the one being joined to the prostitute is one body? For it says, “The two will be into one flesh.”
1 Corinthians 6:17	But the one being joined to the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:18	Flee the sexual immorality. Every sin, whatever a man might do, is outside the body, but the one committing sexual immorality sins against [his] own body.
1 Corinthians 6:19	Or do you⁺ not know that your⁺ body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you⁺, whom you⁺ have from God? And you⁺ are not your own,
1 Corinthians 6:20	for you⁺ were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your⁺ body.
1 Corinthians 7:1	Now concerning the [things] of which you⁺ wrote: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman.
1 Corinthians 7:2	But because of the sexual immorality, let each man have his [own] wife, and let each woman have [her] own husband.
1 Corinthians 7:3	Let the husband render the duty to the wife, and likewise also the wife to the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:4	The wife does not have authority over [her] own body, but the husband; and likewise also, the husband does not have authority over [his] own body, but the wife.
1 Corinthians 7:5	Do not deprive one another, except by mutual agreement for a time, so that you⁺ might be at leisure for prayer, and may be together the same again, so that Satan may not tempt you⁺ through your⁺ lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7:6	Now I say this by way of concession, not by way of command.
1 Corinthians 7:7	Yet I wish all men to be even like myself. But each has his own gift from God; indeed the one thus, but the one thus.
1 Corinthians 7:8	Now I say to the unmarried and to the widows: [It is] good for them if they should remain as even I [am].
1 Corinthians 7:9	But if they do not have self-control, let them marry, for it is better to marry than to burn.
1 Corinthians 7:10	Now to those having married I command (not I, but the Lord): A wife is not to be separated from a husband.
1 Corinthians 7:11	But if indeed she might be separated, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to the husband; and a husband is not to send away a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:12	Now to the rest I say (I, not the Lord): If any brother has an unbelieving wife, and she consents to dwell with him, let him not send her away.
1 Corinthians 7:13	And if any woman has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to dwell with her, let her not send away the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:14	For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother. Otherwise, then your⁺ children are unclean; but now they are holy.
1 Corinthians 7:15	But if the unbeliever separates himself, let him separate himself. The brother or the sister is not bound in such [cases]. But God has called you⁺ in peace.
1 Corinthians 7:16	For how do you know, wife, if you will save the husband? Or how do you know, husband, if you will save the wife?
1 Corinthians 7:17	Nevertheless, as the Lord apportioned to each, as God has called each, thus let him walk. And thus I direct in all the churches.
1 Corinthians 7:18	Was anyone called having been circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? Let him not be circumcised.
1 Corinthians 7:19	Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping of the commandments of God.
1 Corinthians 7:20	Each in the calling in which he has been called—in this let him remain.
1 Corinthians 7:21	Were you called [while] a slave? Let it not be a care to you; but if also you have power to become free, rather use [it].
1 Corinthians 7:22	For the one having been called in the Lord [while] a slave is the Lord’s freedman; likewise the one having been called [while] free is a slave of Christ.
1 Corinthians 7:23	You⁺ were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.
1 Corinthians 7:24	Each in that in which he was called, brothers—in this let him remain with God.
1 Corinthians 7:25	Now concerning the virgins, I do not have a commandment of the Lord, but I give judgment as one having received mercy from the Lord to be trustworthy.
1 Corinthians 7:26	Therefore I think this is good, because of the present necessity, that [it is] good for a man to be thus.
1 Corinthians 7:27	Have you been bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Have you been loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:28	But if also you shall have married, you did not sin; and if the virgin shall have married, she did not sin. But such will have tribulation in the flesh, and I am sparing you⁺.
1 Corinthians 7:29	Now I say this, brothers: The time is shortened—so that from now on both those having wives should be as not having;
1 Corinthians 7:30	and those weeping, as not weeping; and those rejoicing, as not rejoicing; and those buying, as not possessing;
1 Corinthians 7:31	and those using the world, as not using [it] up. For the form of this world is passing away.
1 Corinthians 7:32	But I want you⁺ to be without concern. The unmarried man is concerned for the [things] of the Lord, how he should please the Lord;
1 Corinthians 7:33	but the one being married is concerned for the [things] of the world, how he should please the wife,
1 Corinthians 7:34	and is divided. And the unmarried woman and virgin is concerned for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit; but the one being married is concerned for the things of the world, how she should please the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:35	Now I say this for your⁺ own profit, not so that I might place upon you⁺ a restraint, but for what [is] seemly and devoted to the Lord, without distraction.
1 Corinthians 7:36	But if anyone supposes [himself] to be acting unbecomingly to his virgin, if she is beyond youth, and it ought to be so, let him do what he wills; he does not sin; let them marry.
1 Corinthians 7:37	But he who has stood steadfast in his heart, not having necessity but having authority over [his] own will, and has judged this in [his] own heart, to keep his own virgin, he will do well.
1 Corinthians 7:38	So then also, the one marrying [his] own virgin does well, and the one not marrying will do better.
1 Corinthians 7:39	A wife has been bound for as long a time [as] her husband may live; but if the husband shall have died, she is free to be married to whom she wants, only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 7:40	But she is more blessed if she should remain in the same manner, according to my judgment; and I think myself also to have the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 8:1	Now concerning the [things] sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1 Corinthians 8:2	If anyone thinks to known anything, he does not yet know as it is necessary to know.
1 Corinthians 8:3	But if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.
1 Corinthians 8:4	Therefore concerning the eating of the [things] sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world and that [there is] no God except one.
1 Corinthians 8:5	For even if indeed there are [those] called gods, whether in heaven or on earth—just as there are many gods and many lords—
1 Corinthians 8:6	yet to us [there is] one God the Father, of whom [are] all things, and we for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom [are] all things, and we through Him.
1 Corinthians 8:7	But the knowledge [is] not in all. And some, by habit of the idol until now, eat [such] as a thing sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak, it is defiled.
1 Corinthians 8:8	But food will not commend us to God; neither if we should eat do we fall short, nor if we should not eat do we excel.
1 Corinthians 8:9	But take care, lest somehow this authority of yours⁺ become a stumbling block to the weak.
1 Corinthians 8:10	For if anyone should see you, the one having knowledge, reclining in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him being weak be built up to eat the [things] sacrificed to idols?
1 Corinthians 8:11	For the one being weak is destroyed by your knowledge—the brother for whom Christ died.
1 Corinthians 8:12	And thus sinning against the brothers and wounding their conscience, [it] being weak, you⁺ sin against Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:13	Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, never shall I eat meat to the age, so that I shall not cause my brother to stumble.
1 Corinthians 9:1	Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are you⁺ not my work in the Lord?
1 Corinthians 9:2	If I am not an apostle to others, yet indeed I am to you⁺; for you⁺ are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 9:3	This is my defense to those examining me:
1 Corinthians 9:4	Have we no authority to eat and to drink?
1 Corinthians 9:5	Have we no authority to take along a sister—a wife—as also the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?
1 Corinthians 9:6	Or do only I and Barnabas have no authority to work?
1 Corinthians 9:7	Who serves as a soldier at his own expense at any time? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat its fruit? Or who shepherds a flock and does not drink from the milk of the flock?
1 Corinthians 9:8	Do I not speak these things according to man, or does the law not also say these things?
1 Corinthians 9:9	For in the law of Moses it has been written: “You shall not muzzle an ox treading out grain.” Is there care for the oxen with God?
1 Corinthians 9:10	Or does He speak because of us entirely? For it was written because of us, because in hope the one plowing ought to plow, and the one threshing—in hope to partake.
1 Corinthians 9:11	If we sowed spiritual things among you⁺, [is it] too much if we will reap fleshly things from you⁺?
1 Corinthians 9:12	If others partake of the authority over you⁺, [should] we not more? But we did not use this authority. But we bear all things, so that we should not give any hindrance to the gospel of Christ.
1 Corinthians 9:13	Do you⁺ not know that those working [in] the temple eat the [things] of the temple, [and] those attending at the altar partake in the altar?
1 Corinthians 9:14	So also, the Lord directed those proclaiming the gospel to live from the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:15	But I have not used [any] of these. And neither did I write these things so that it should be thus with me; for [it is] good for me rather to die than that anyone will make void my boasting.
1 Corinthians 9:16	For if I preach the gospel, there is no boasting to me, for necessity is laid upon me. But woe be to me if I should not preach the gospel!
1 Corinthians 9:17	For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, I have been entrusted with a stewardship.
1 Corinthians 9:18	What then is my reward? That preaching the gospel, I should lay down the gospel free of charge, so as not to use up my authority in the gospel.
1 Corinthians 9:19	For being free from all, I myself became a slave to all, so that I might gain the more.
1 Corinthians 9:20	And I became to the Jews as a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews; to those under the law, as under the law (myself not being under the law), so that I might gain those under the law;
1 Corinthians 9:21	to those without the law, as without the law (not being without the law of God, but within the law of Christ), so that I might gain those without the law.
1 Corinthians 9:22	To the weak I became weak, so that I might gain the weak. I have become all things to all, so that by all means I might save some.
1 Corinthians 9:23	Now I do all because of the gospel, so that I might become a fellow partaker of it.
1 Corinthians 9:24	Do you⁺ not know that those running in a race indeed all run, but one receives the prize? Run thus, so that you⁺ might obtain [it].
1 Corinthians 9:25	Now everyone striving controls himself in all things; these indeed then so that they might receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable.
1 Corinthians 9:26	Therefore I run thus, not as aimlessly; I fight thus, not as beating the air.
1 Corinthians 9:27	But I batter my body and bring [it] into servitude, lest somehow, having preached to others, I myself might be disqualified.
1 Corinthians 10:1	For I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea.
1 Corinthians 10:2	And all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
1 Corinthians 10:3	and all ate the same spiritual food,
1 Corinthians 10:4	and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they were drinking from the spiritual rock accompanying [them], and the rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:5	But God was not well pleased in most of them, for they were strewn in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians 10:6	Now these things became types of us, for us not to be desirers of evil things, as those also desired.
1 Corinthians 10:7	And do not become idolaters, as some of them, just as it has been written: “The people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.”
1 Corinthians 10:8	And we should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them committed sexual immorality, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.
1 Corinthians 10:9	And we should not test Christ, as some of them tested, and were destroyed by serpents.
1 Corinthians 10:10	And do not grumble, as some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
1 Corinthians 10:11	Now these things happened to those [as] types and were written for our admonition, to whom the ends of the ages have come.
1 Corinthians 10:12	Therefore the one thinking to stand, let him observe, lest he fall.
1 Corinthians 10:13	No temptation has overtaken you⁺ except [what is] human. And faithful [is] God, who will not allow you⁺ to be tempted beyond what you⁺ are able, but He will also provide with the temptation the escape, to be able to bear up under [it].
1 Corinthians 10:14	Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
1 Corinthians 10:15	I speak as to sensible ones; judge for yourselves what I say.
1 Corinthians 10:16	The cup of blessing that we bless, is [it] not a fellowship of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is [it] not a fellowship of the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians 10:17	Because [there is] one loaf, we the many are one body; for we all partake of the one loaf.
1 Corinthians 10:18	Consider Israel according to flesh: Are not those eating the sacrifices fellow sharers of the altar?
1 Corinthians 10:19	Then what do I say? That what is sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything?
1 Corinthians 10:20	[No], but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not want you⁺ to be fellow sharers with demons.
1 Corinthians 10:21	You⁺ are not able to drink a cup of the Lord and a cup of demons. You⁺ are not able to partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.
1 Corinthians 10:22	Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
1 Corinthians 10:23	“All things are lawful,” but not all things are profitable; “All things are lawful,” but not all things edify.
1 Corinthians 10:24	Let no one seek the [good] of himself, but that of the other.
1 Corinthians 10:25	Eat everything being sold in the meat market, inquiring nothing because of conscience,
1 Corinthians 10:26	for, “The earth [is] the Lord’s, and the fullness of it.”
1 Corinthians 10:27	If any of the unbelieving ones invites you⁺, and you⁺ want to go, eat everything being set before you⁺, inquiring nothing because of conscience.
1 Corinthians 10:28	But if anyone should say to you⁺, “This is offered to an idol,” do not eat [it], because of the one having informed [you], and conscience—
1 Corinthians 10:29	and I do not say your own conscience, but that of the other; for why is my freedom judged by another’s conscience?
1 Corinthians 10:30	If I partake with thankfulness, why am I spoken evil of for that for which I give thanks?
1 Corinthians 10:31	Therefore whether you⁺ eat or drink or whatever you⁺ do, do all things to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:32	Be without offense both to Jews and to Greeks and to the church of God—
1 Corinthians 10:33	even as I also please all in all things, not seeking my [own] profit, but that of the many, so that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians 11:1	Be imitators of me, as I also [am] of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:2	Now I commend you⁺ because you⁺ have remembered me in all things, and you⁺ hold fast the traditions just as I delivered [them] to you⁺.
1 Corinthians 11:3	But I want you⁺ to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman [is] the man, and the head of Christ [is] God.
1 Corinthians 11:4	Every man praying or prophesying having [anything] on [his] head dishonors his head.
1 Corinthians 11:5	And every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered dishonors her head; for it is one and the same with having been shaven.
1 Corinthians 11:6	For if a woman does not cover her head, also let her be shorn. And if [it is] shameful to a woman to be shorn or to be shaven, let her cover her head.
1 Corinthians 11:7	For indeed a man ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.
1 Corinthians 11:8	For man is not of woman, but woman of man.
1 Corinthians 11:9	For also man was not created because of the woman, but woman because of the man.
1 Corinthians 11:10	Because of this, the woman ought to have authority on the head, because of the angels.
1 Corinthians 11:11	However, neither [is] woman apart from man, nor man apart from woman in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:12	For just as the woman [is] of the man, so also the man [is] through the woman. And all things [are] of God.
1 Corinthians 11:13	Judge in yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God uncovered?
1 Corinthians 11:14	Does not even nature itself teach you⁺ that indeed if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him,
1 Corinthians 11:15	but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For the long hair instead of a covering is given to her.
1 Corinthians 11:16	Now if anyone thinks to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
1 Corinthians 11:17	Now in this instructing, I do not praise [you], because not for the better, but for the worse, do you⁺ come together.
1 Corinthians 11:18	For first indeed, [on] your⁺ coming together in an assembly, I hear there to be divisions among you⁺, and in part I believe it.
1 Corinthians 11:19	For also it is necessary for there to be factions among you⁺, so that also the ones approved should become evident among you⁺.
1 Corinthians 11:20	Therefore, [on] your⁺ coming together in the same [place], it is not to eat the Lord’s supper.
1 Corinthians 11:21	For in eating, each takes first [his] own supper. And indeed this one is hungry, but that one is drunk.
1 Corinthians 11:22	What! Have you⁺ no houses in which to eat and to drink? Or do you⁺ despise the church of God and put to shame those not having? What shall I say to you⁺? Shall I praise you⁺? In this I do not praise [you]!
1 Corinthians 11:23	For I received from the Lord that which also I delivered to you⁺, that the Lord Jesus, in the night in which He was delivered up, took bread,
1 Corinthians 11:24	and having given thanks, He broke [it] and said, “This is My body, which [is] for you⁺; do this to the remembrance of Me.”
1 Corinthians 11:25	Likewise also the cup after having supped, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you⁺ may drink [it], to the remembrance of Me.”
1 Corinthians 11:26	For as often as you⁺ may eat this bread and may drink the cup, you⁺ proclaim the death of the Lord until He should come.
1 Corinthians 11:27	Therefore, whoever may eat the bread or may drink the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:28	But let a man examine himself, and thus let him eat of the bread, and let him drink of the cup.
1 Corinthians 11:29	For the one eating and drinking, not discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.
1 Corinthians 11:30	Because of this, many [are] weak and sick among you⁺, and many are fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 11:31	For if we were discerning of ourselves, we would not be being judged.
1 Corinthians 11:32	But being judged by the Lord, we are disciplined, so that we should not be condemned with the world.
1 Corinthians 11:33	So then, my brothers, [in] coming together in order to eat, wait for one another.
1 Corinthians 11:34	If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you⁺ may not come together for judgment; and I will prescribe the other things as soon as I shall come.
1 Corinthians 12:1	Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brothers, I do not want you⁺ to be ignorant.
1 Corinthians 12:2	You⁺ know that when you⁺ were pagans, you⁺ were led even as to mute idols, being led astray.
1 Corinthians 12:3	Therefore I make known to you⁺ that no one speaking in the Spirit of God says, “Jesus [is] accursed,” and no one is able to say, “Jesus [is] Lord,” except in the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:4	Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians 12:5	and there are varieties of services, and the same Lord;
1 Corinthians 12:6	and there are varieties of workings, but the same God who is working all things in all.
1 Corinthians 12:7	Now to each is given the manifestation of the Spirit, for the common profiting.
1 Corinthians 12:8	For indeed, to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
1 Corinthians 12:9	and to a different one faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing in the one Spirit,
1 Corinthians 12:10	and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another distinguishing of spirits, and to a different one [various] kinds of tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:11	Now one and the same the Spirit works all these things, apportioning individually to each as He wills.
1 Corinthians 12:12	For just as the body is one, and it has many members, and all the members of the body being many are one body, so also [is] Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:13	For also in one Spirit we all were baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:14	For also the body is not one member, but many.
1 Corinthians 12:15	If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” not on account of this is it not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:16	And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” not on account of this is it not of the body.
1 Corinthians 12:17	If the whole body [were] an eye, where [is] the hearing? If the whole [were] hearing, where [is] the sense of smell?
1 Corinthians 12:18	But now God placed the members, each one of them in the body, as He wanted.
1 Corinthians 12:19	And if all were one member, where [is] the body?
1 Corinthians 12:20	But now indeed, [there are] many members, but one body.
1 Corinthians 12:21	Now the eye is not able to say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you⁺.”
1 Corinthians 12:22	But much more, the members of the body seeming to be weaker are essential,
1 Corinthians 12:23	and those of the body we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor. And our unseemly [parts] have more abundant decorum,
1 Corinthians 12:24	but our seemly [parts] have no need. But God composed the body, having given more abundant honor to the [parts] lacking [it],
1 Corinthians 12:25	so that there may be no division in the body, but the members may have the same concern for one another.
1 Corinthians 12:26	And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with [it]; if one member is glorified, all the members rejoice with [it].
1 Corinthians 12:27	Now you⁺ are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians 12:28	And some indeed God placed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helping, administrating, various kinds of tongues.
1 Corinthians 12:29	[Are] all apostles? [Are] all prophets? [Are] all teachers? Do all [work] miracles?
1 Corinthians 12:30	Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret?
1 Corinthians 12:31	But zealously desire the greater gifts. And now I show to you⁺ a more surpassing way.
1 Corinthians 13:1	If I should speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become a sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:2	And if I should have prophecy and should understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:3	And if I should give away all my possessions, and if I should deliver up my body that I may boast, but have not love, I am profited nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:4	Love is patient, it is kind; love does not envy, love does not boast, it is not puffed up.
1 Corinthians 13:5	It does not act unbecomingly, it does not seek its own [things], it is not provoked, it keeps no reckoning of evil.
1 Corinthians 13:6	It does not rejoice at unrighteousness, but it rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:7	It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:8	Love never fails; but if [there are] prophecies, they will be made null; and if [there are] tongues, they will cease; and if [there is] knowledge, it will be made null.
1 Corinthians 13:9	For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
1 Corinthians 13:10	but when the perfect should come, the partial will be made null.
1 Corinthians 13:11	When I was a child, I was speaking like a child, I was thinking like a child, I was reasoning like a child; when I became a man, I have made null the [things] of the child.
1 Corinthians 13:12	For now we see through a glass in obscurity, but then, face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
1 Corinthians 13:13	But now these three things remain: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these [is] love.
1 Corinthians 14:1	Pursue love, and zealously desire spiritual [gifts], and especially that you⁺ may prophesy.
1 Corinthians 14:2	For the one speaking in a tongue speaks not to men, but to God. For no one hears, but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:3	But the one prophesying speaks to men [for] edification and encouragement and comfort.
1 Corinthians 14:4	The one speaking in a tongue edifies himself, but the one prophesying edifies the church.
1 Corinthians 14:5	Now I wish [for] all of you⁺ to speak in tongues, but rather that you⁺ may prophesy. And the one prophesying [is] greater than the one speaking in tongues, except if he may interpret, so that the church might receive edification.
1 Corinthians 14:6	But now, brothers, if I should come to you⁺ speaking in tongues, what will I profit you⁺, unless I should speak to you⁺ either in revelation, or in knowledge, or in prophecy, or in teaching?
1 Corinthians 14:7	Even lifeless things giving a sound—whether the flute or harp—unless they give distinction to the sounds, how will it be known what [is] being piped or being harped?
1 Corinthians 14:8	For also if the trumpet gives an indistinct sound, who will prepare himself for battle?
1 Corinthians 14:9	So also you⁺, unless you⁺ give intelligible speech through the tongue, how will it be known what [is] being spoken? For you⁺ will be speaking into the air.
1 Corinthians 14:10	There are, if it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none without meaning.
1 Corinthians 14:11	Therefore unless I know the power of the voice, I will be a barbarian to the one speaking, and the one speaking, a barbarian to me.
1 Corinthians 14:12	So also you⁺, since you⁺ are zealous for spiritual gifts, seek for the edification of the church, so that you⁺ may abound.
1 Corinthians 14:13	Therefore, the one speaking in a tongue, let him pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:14	For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:15	What then is it? I will pray with the spirit, but I will also pray with the mind. I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will also sing praise with the mind.
1 Corinthians 14:16	Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how will the one filling up the place of the uninstructed say the “Amen” to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you say?
1 Corinthians 14:17	For indeed, you give thanks well, but the other is not edified.
1 Corinthians 14:18	I thank God [that] I speak in tongues more than all of you⁺.
1 Corinthians 14:19	But in the church, I wish to speak five words with my mind, so that also I might instruct others, rather than myriads of words in a tongue.
1 Corinthians 14:20	Brothers, do not be children in the minds. But in evil be little children; and in thinking be mature.
1 Corinthians 14:21	In the law it has been written: “With other tongues and with different lips I will speak to this people, and not even thus will they hear Me, says the Lord.”
1 Corinthians 14:22	So then, tongues are for a sign, not to the believing, but to the unbelieving; but prophecy [is] not to the unbelieving, but to the believing.
1 Corinthians 14:23	Therefore, if the whole church might gather together in the same [place] and all may speak in tongues, and uninstructed ones or unbelievers should come in, will not they say that you⁺ are out of your⁺ minds?
1 Corinthians 14:24	But if all prophesy and some unbeliever or uninstructed one should come in, he is convicted by all, he is examined by all,
1 Corinthians 14:25	[and] the secrets of his heart become manifest. And thus having fallen upon [his] face, he will worship God, declaring that “God is really among you⁺!”
1 Corinthians 14:26	What then is it, brothers? When you⁺ may come together, each has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
1 Corinthians 14:27	If anyone speaks in a tongue, [be] by two, or [at] the most three, and [each] in turn; and let one interpret.
1 Corinthians 14:28	But if there may be no interpreter, let him be silent in the church, and let him speak to himself and to God.
1 Corinthians 14:29	And let two or three prophets speak, and let the others discern.
1 Corinthians 14:30	But if [anything] should be revealed to another sitting, let the first be silent.
1 Corinthians 14:31	For you⁺ are all able to prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted.
1 Corinthians 14:32	And the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.
1 Corinthians 14:33	For He is not the God of disorder, but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians 14:34	Let the women be silent in the churches. For it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as the law also says.
1 Corinthians 14:35	But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask [their] own husbands at home; for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church.
1 Corinthians 14:36	Or did the word of God go out from you⁺? Or did it come to you⁺ only?
1 Corinthians 14:37	If anyone thinks to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things I write to you⁺ are commands of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 14:38	But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignored.
1 Corinthians 14:39	So, my brothers, zealously desire to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:40	But let all things be done properly and according to order.
1 Corinthians 15:1	Now I make known to you⁺, brothers, the gospel that I proclaimed to you⁺, which also you⁺ received, in which you⁺ also stand,
1 Corinthians 15:2	by which you⁺ are also being saved in what word I proclaimed to you⁺, if you⁺ hold fast—unless you⁺ believed in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:3	For I delivered to you⁺ as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
1 Corinthians 15:4	and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
1 Corinthians 15:5	and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve.
1 Corinthians 15:6	Afterward, He appeared to over five hundred brothers at once, the greater part of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:7	Afterward, He appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
1 Corinthians 15:8	And last of all, as to one of untimely birth, He appeared also to me.
1 Corinthians 15:9	For I am the least of the apostles, who am not sufficient to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1 Corinthians 15:10	But [by] the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not empty. But I toiled more abundantly than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God that [was] with me.
1 Corinthians 15:11	Whether, then, I or they, thus we preach, and thus you⁺ believed.
1 Corinthians 15:12	Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised out from the dead, how do some among you⁺ say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 Corinthians 15:13	But if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been raised.
1 Corinthians 15:14	And if Christ has not been raised, then also our preaching [is] void, and your⁺ faith [is] void.
1 Corinthians 15:15	Then also we are found false witnesses of God, because we have witnessed concerning God that He raised Christ, whom He has not raised if then the dead are not raised.
1 Corinthians 15:16	For if the dead are not raised, neither has Christ been raised.
1 Corinthians 15:17	And if Christ has not been raised, your⁺ faith is futile; you⁺ are still in your⁺ sins.
1 Corinthians 15:18	Then also those having fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
1 Corinthians 15:19	If only in this life we are having hope in Christ, we are more to be pitied than all men.
1 Corinthians 15:20	But now Christ has been raised out from the dead, the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:21	For since death [is] through a man, also through a man [is] the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians 15:22	For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive—
1 Corinthians 15:23	but each in [his] own order: Christ the firstfruit, then those of Christ at His coming,
1 Corinthians 15:24	then the end, when He shall deliver the kingdom to God, even the Father, when He shall have made null all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians 15:25	For it is necessary for Him to reign until He shall have put all the enemies under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:26	The last enemy to be made null [is] death.
1 Corinthians 15:27	For “He has subjected all things under His feet.” But when it may be said that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that the One having subjected all things to Him [is] excepted.
1 Corinthians 15:28	Now when all things shall be subjected to Him, then also the Son Himself will be subjected to the One having subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
1 Corinthians 15:29	Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are they also baptized for them?
1 Corinthians 15:30	And why are we in danger every hour?
1 Corinthians 15:31	I die every day, as surely as the boasting in you⁺, brothers, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:32	If according to man I fought wild beasts in Ephesus, what [is] the gain to me? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and let us drink, for tomorrow we die.”
1 Corinthians 15:33	Do not be led astray: “Bad companionships corrupt good morals.”
1 Corinthians 15:34	Sober up righteously and do not sin, for some have ignorance of God. I speak to you⁺ for shame.
1 Corinthians 15:35	But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?”
1 Corinthians 15:36	You Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
1 Corinthians 15:37	And what you sow [is] not the body that will be, but you sow a bare grain, if it may be of wheat or of some of the rest.
1 Corinthians 15:38	But God gives it a body as He willed, and to each of the seeds, its own body.
1 Corinthians 15:39	Not all flesh [is] the same, but indeed one flesh [is] of men, and another flesh [is] of beasts, and another flesh [is] of birds, and another [is] of fish.
1 Corinthians 15:40	And [there are] heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But indeed, the glory of the heavenly [is] one [kind], and that of the earthly [is] another.
1 Corinthians 15:41	[There is] one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
1 Corinthians 15:42	So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruptibility;
1 Corinthians 15:43	it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
1 Corinthians 15:44	it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:45	So also it has been written: “The first man Adam became into a living soul;” the last Adam into a life-giving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:46	But the spiritual [was] not first, but the natural, then the spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:47	The first man [was] out of the earth, made of dust; the second man out of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:48	As [was] the one made of dust, such [are] also those made of dust; and as [is] the heavenly one, such [are] also the heavenly.
1 Corinthians 15:49	And as we bore the image of the one made of dust, we will also bear the image of the heavenly one.
1 Corinthians 15:50	Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood is not able to inherit the kingdom of God, nor does corruption inherit incorruptibility.
1 Corinthians 15:51	Behold, I speak to you⁺ a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—
1 Corinthians 15:52	in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
1 Corinthians 15:53	For it is necessary for this, the corruptible to put on incorruptibility, and this, the mortal to put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:54	Now when this corruptible shall have put on incorruptibility, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then the word having been written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
1 Corinthians 15:55	“Where, O death, [is] your victory? Where, O death, [is] your sting?”
1 Corinthians 15:56	Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin [is] the law.
1 Corinthians 15:57	But thanks [be] to God, the One giving us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:58	Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your⁺ labor in the Lord is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 16:1	Now concerning the collection that [is] for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so also you⁺ are to do.
1 Corinthians 16:2	Every first of the week, let each one of you⁺ put aside, treasuring up whatever he may be prospered in, so that when I might come, then there should be no collections.
1 Corinthians 16:3	And when I shall have arrived, whomever you⁺ might approve, I will send these with letters to carry your⁺ gracious gift to Jerusalem.
1 Corinthians 16:4	And if it may be worthy for me also to go, they will go with me.
1 Corinthians 16:5	But I will come to you⁺ when I shall have gone through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia.
1 Corinthians 16:6	And perhaps I will stay with you⁺, or even I will winter, so that you⁺ may send me forth wherever I may go.
1 Corinthians 16:7	For I do not want to see you⁺ now in passing; for I hope to remain a certain time with you⁺, if the Lord might permit.
1 Corinthians 16:8	But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
1 Corinthians 16:9	For a door has opened to me, great and effective, and many are opposing.
1 Corinthians 16:10	Now if Timothy might come, see that he may be with you⁺ without fear, for he works the work of the Lord, as I also.
1 Corinthians 16:11	Therefore no one should despise him. But send him forth in peace, so that he might come to me; for I am expecting him with the brothers.
1 Corinthians 16:12	Now concerning Apollos the brother, I exhorted him much that he should go to you⁺ with the brothers, and [his] will was not at all that he should come now; but he will come when he shall have opportunity.
1 Corinthians 16:13	Be watchful; stand firm in the faith; act like men; be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:14	Let all your⁺ things be done in love.
1 Corinthians 16:15	Now I exhort you⁺, brothers—you⁺ know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruit of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to service to the saints—
1 Corinthians 16:16	that you⁺ also be subject to such, and to everyone working with [us] and laboring.
1 Corinthians 16:17	Now I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus, because these filled up your⁺ deficiency.
1 Corinthians 16:18	For they refreshed my spirit and yours⁺. Therefore recognize such [men].
1 Corinthians 16:19	The churches of Asia greet you⁺. Aquila and Prisca, with the church at their house, greet you⁺ much in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 16:20	All the brothers greet you⁺. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
1 Corinthians 16:21	The greeting [is] in my own hand—Paul.
1 Corinthians 16:22	If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranatha!
1 Corinthians 16:23	The grace of the Lord Jesus [be] with you⁺.
1 Corinthians 16:24	My love [be] with all of you⁺ in Christ Jesus. Amen.
2 Corinthians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy the brother, To the church of God being in Corinth, with all the saints being in all Achaia:
2 Corinthians 1:2	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 1:3	Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassions and God of all comfort,
2 Corinthians 1:4	the One comforting us in all our tribulation, for us to be able to comfort those in every tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God,
2 Corinthians 1:5	because just as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, so through Christ our comfort also abounds.
2 Corinthians 1:6	But if we are hard pressed, [it is] for your⁺ comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, [it is] for your⁺ comfort, operating in the endurance of the same sufferings that we also suffer.
2 Corinthians 1:7	And our hope for you⁺ [is] sure, knowing that as you⁺ are fellow partakers of the sufferings, so also of the comfort.
2 Corinthians 1:8	For we do not want you⁺ to be ignorant brothers, as to our tribulation having happened in Asia, that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond [our] power, so as for us to despair even to live.
2 Corinthians 1:9	But we have had in ourselves the sentence of death, so that we should not be trusting in ourselves, but in God, the One raising the dead,
2 Corinthians 1:10	who delivered us from so great a death and will deliver [us], in whom we have hoped that also He will deliver [us] still,
2 Corinthians 1:11	[in] your⁺ also together helping us by supplication, so that thanks may be given for us by many faces for the gracious gift to us through many.
2 Corinthians 1:12	For our boasting is this: The testimony of our conscience, that in the simplicity and sincerity of God, and not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we conducted ourselves in the world and more abundantly toward you⁺.
2 Corinthians 1:13	For we write no other [things] to you⁺ but what you⁺ read or also understand. And I hope that you⁺ will understand to the end,
2 Corinthians 1:14	as also you⁺ understood us in part, so that we are your⁺ boast, even as you⁺ [are] also ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
2 Corinthians 1:15	And with this confidence I was purposing to come to you⁺ before, so that you⁺ might have a second grace,
2 Corinthians 1:16	and through you⁺ to pass through into Macedonia, and to come to you⁺ again from Macedonia, and to be sent forth by you⁺ to Judea.
2 Corinthians 1:17	Therefore, purposing this, then, did I use lightness? Or do I purpose what I purpose according to flesh, so that with me it may be “Yes, yes” and “No, no”?
2 Corinthians 1:18	But faithful [is] God, that our word to you⁺ is not “Yes” and “No.”
2 Corinthians 1:19	For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, having been proclaimed among you⁺ by us—by me and Silvanus and Timothy—was not “Yes” and “No,” but it has been “Yes” in Him.
2 Corinthians 1:20	For as many as [are] the promises of God, in Him [is] the “Yes.” Therefore also through Him the “Amen” through us [is] for glory to God.
2 Corinthians 1:21	Now the One establishing us with you⁺ into Christ, and having anointed us, [is] God,
2 Corinthians 1:22	the One also having sealed us and having given the pledge of the Spirit in our hearts.
2 Corinthians 1:23	But I call God as witness upon my soul, that sparing you⁺ I did not yet come to Corinth.
2 Corinthians 1:24	Not that we lord it over your⁺ faith, but we are fellow workers with you⁺ of joy; for in the faith you⁺ stand firm.
2 Corinthians 2:1	For I decided this within myself, not to come to you⁺ again in grief.
2 Corinthians 2:2	For if I grieve you⁺, then who is gladdening me except the one being grieved by me?
2 Corinthians 2:3	And I wrote this same thing so that, having come, I might not have grief from [those] for whom it was necessary for me to rejoice, having been confident in you⁺ all, that my joy is of all of you⁺.
2 Corinthians 2:4	For out of much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you⁺ through many tears, not that you⁺ might be grieved, but that you⁺ might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you⁺.
2 Corinthians 2:5	But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but in part (so that I might not be severe) all of you⁺.
2 Corinthians 2:6	Sufficient to such a one [is] the punishment that [is] by the majority,
2 Corinthians 2:7	so that on the contrary, [it is] rather for you⁺ to forgive and to comfort [him], lest somehow such a one might be overwhelmed by more abundant grief.
2 Corinthians 2:8	Therefore I exhort you⁺ to confirm love toward him.
2 Corinthians 2:9	For this indeed also I wrote, so that I might know the proof of you⁺, whether you⁺ are obedient to everything.
2 Corinthians 2:10	Now to whomever you⁺ forgive anything, I also do; and indeed to whom I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] on account of you⁺ in the face of Christ,
2 Corinthians 2:11	so that we should not be exploited by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
2 Corinthians 2:12	Now having come to Troas for the gospel of Christ, a door also having been opened to me in the Lord,
2 Corinthians 2:13	I have had no rest in my spirit [in] my not finding Titus my brother, but having taken leave of them, I went out to Macedonia.
2 Corinthians 2:14	But thanks [be] to God, the One always leading us in triumph in Christ and making manifest the fragrance of the knowledge of Him through us in every place.
2 Corinthians 2:15	For we are a sweet smell of Christ to God among those being saved and among those perishing:
2 Corinthians 2:16	to one indeed a smell from death to death, but to one a smell from life to life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?
2 Corinthians 2:17	For we are not like the many, peddling the word of God, but as from sincerity—but as from God—we speak before God in Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:1	Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or like some, do we need letters of recommendation to you⁺ or from you⁺?
2 Corinthians 3:2	You⁺ are our letter, having been inscribed in our hearts, being known and being read by all men,
2 Corinthians 3:3	being revealed that you⁺ are a letter of Christ, having been ministered to by us, having been inscribed not in ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not in tablets of stone but in tablets of fleshly hearts.
2 Corinthians 3:4	Now we have such confidence through Christ toward God.
2 Corinthians 3:5	Not that we are sufficient from ourselves to reckon anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
2 Corinthians 3:6	who also made us sufficient [as] ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:7	Now if the ministry of death, having been engraved in letters on stones, came into being in glory so as for the sons of Israel not to be able to look intently into the face of Moses on account of the glory of his face that is fading away,
2 Corinthians 3:8	how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more in glory?
2 Corinthians 3:9	For if in the ministry of condemnation [was] glory, much more does the ministry of righteousness abound [in] glory!
2 Corinthians 3:10	For even that having been glorious has no glory in this respect, on account of the glory surpassing [it].
2 Corinthians 3:11	For if that which is fading away [was] through glory, much more [is] that remaining in glory!
2 Corinthians 3:12	Therefore having such a hope, we use much boldness,
2 Corinthians 3:13	and not as Moses would put a veil over his face for the sons of Israel not to look intently into the end of what [was] fading away.
2 Corinthians 3:14	But their minds were hardened; for until the present day, the same veil remains upon the reading of the old covenant, not being unveiled, which is removed in Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:15	But until today when Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.
2 Corinthians 3:16	But whenever one may turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
2 Corinthians 3:17	Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord [is], freedom [is].
2 Corinthians 3:18	And we all, having been unveiled in face, reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 4:1	On account of this, having this ministry, just as we received mercy, we do not grow fainthearted.
2 Corinthians 4:2	But we renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor distorting the word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every conscience of men before God.
2 Corinthians 4:3	But if indeed our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those perishing,
2 Corinthians 4:4	in whom the god of this age blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so as not to shine forth the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 4:5	For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Christ Jesus [as] Lord, and ourselves [as] your⁺ servants on account of Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4:6	For God [is] the One having said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who shone in our hearts for the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:7	Now we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the supereminence of the power may be from God and not from us,
2 Corinthians 4:8	being pressed in every [way] but not being crushed, being perplexed but not despairing,
2 Corinthians 4:9	being persecuted but not being forsaken, being struck down but not being destroyed,
2 Corinthians 4:10	always carrying around the death [of] Jesus in the body, so that the life of Jesus also may be revealed in our body.
2 Corinthians 4:11	For we the living are always being delivered to death on account of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal flesh.
2 Corinthians 4:12	So then, death works in us, but life in you⁺.
2 Corinthians 4:13	But having the same spirit of faith according to that having been written: “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, and therefore we speak,
2 Corinthians 4:14	knowing that the One having raised the Lord Jesus also will raise us with Jesus and will present [us] with you⁺.
2 Corinthians 4:15	For all things [are] on account of you⁺, so that the grace having increased on account of more [people] may make abundant the thanksgiving, to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 4:16	Therefore we do not grow fainthearted; but if also our outer man decays, yet our inner one is renewed day and day.
2 Corinthians 4:17	For the momentary lightness of our affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory, from supereminence to supereminence,
2 Corinthians 4:18	in [our] not looking at the things being seen, but the things not being seen. For the things being seen [are] temporary, but the things not being seen [are] eternal.
2 Corinthians 5:1	For we know that if our earthly house, the tent, should be torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians 5:2	For also in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our dwelling that [is] from heaven,
2 Corinthians 5:3	if indeed also having been clothed, we will not be found naked.
2 Corinthians 5:4	For indeed, being in the tent we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that the mortal should be swallowed up by life.
2 Corinthians 5:5	Now the One having prepared us for this very [thing] [is] God, the One having given to us the pledge of the Spirit,
2 Corinthians 5:6	being confident, then, always, and knowing that being at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:7	For we walk by faith, not by sight.
2 Corinthians 5:8	Now we are confident and we are well pleased rather to be away, out of the body, and to be at home with the Lord.
2 Corinthians 5:9	Therefore also we strive earnestly, whether being at home or being away, to be well-pleasing to Him.
2 Corinthians 5:10	For it is necessary for us all to appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each may receive back the things [done] through the body according to what he did, whether good or evil.
2 Corinthians 5:11	Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men. And we have been made manifest to God, and I hope to have been made manifest in your⁺ consciences also.
2 Corinthians 5:12	We do not commend ourselves to you⁺ again, but are giving to you⁺ occasion of boasting on behalf of us, so that you⁺ may have [something] toward those boasting in appearance and not in heart.
2 Corinthians 5:13	For if we were beside ourselves, [it is] to God; and if we are sound-minded, [it is] for you⁺.
2 Corinthians 5:14	For the love of Christ compels us, having judged this, that One died for all, therefore all died.
2 Corinthians 5:15	And He died for all, that those living no longer should live to themselves, but to the One having died for them and having been raised again.
2 Corinthians 5:16	Therefore, from now, we know no one according to the flesh. Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him [thus] no longer.
2 Corinthians 5:17	Therefore if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation. The old things passed away; behold, the new things have come into being!
2 Corinthians 5:18	Now all things [are] of God, the One having reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and having given to us the ministry of reconciliation:
2 Corinthians 5:19	how that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having put into us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:20	Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God is appealing through us. We implore on behalf of Christ: Be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:21	He made the One not having known sin [to be] sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 6:1	And working together, we also exhort you⁺ not to receive the grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians 6:2	For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now [is] the favorable time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:3	We are giving no cause of stumbling among [anyone], so that the ministry should not be blamed,
2 Corinthians 6:4	but in everything we are commending ourselves as God’s servants: in much endurance, in tribulations, in hardships, in distresses;
2 Corinthians 6:5	in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleepless nights, in fastings;
2 Corinthians 6:6	in purity, in knowledge, in patience, in kindness; in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love;
2 Corinthians 6:7	in the word of truth, in the power of God; through the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left;
2 Corinthians 6:8	through glory and dishonor, through bad report and good report; as imposters yet true;
2 Corinthians 6:9	as being unknown yet being well-known; as dying, yet behold, we live; as being disciplined yet not being put to death;
2 Corinthians 6:10	as being sorrowful yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing and yet possessing everything.
2 Corinthians 6:11	Our mouth has been open to you⁺, Corinthians; our heart has been enlarged.
2 Corinthians 6:12	You⁺ are not restrained by us, but you⁺ are restrained in your⁺ [own] inner parts.
2 Corinthians 6:13	Now [as] the same recompense—I speak as to children—you⁺ be enlarged also.
2 Corinthians 6:14	Do not become unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what partnership [have] righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship [has] light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:15	And what harmony [has] Christ with Beliar? Or what part to a believer [is] with an unbeliever?
2 Corinthians 6:16	And what agreement [has] the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them, and I will walk among [them], and I will be their God, and they will be My people.”
2 Corinthians 6:17	“Therefore come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord, and touch no unclean [thing], and I will receive you⁺.”
2 Corinthians 6:18	And: “I will be for a Father to you⁺, and you⁺ will be for sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 7:1	Therefore having these promises, beloved, we should cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians 7:2	Make room for us. We wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we took advantage of no one.
2 Corinthians 7:3	I do not speak for condemnation; for I have before said that you⁺ are in our hearts for [us] to die together and to live together.
2 Corinthians 7:4	Much [is] my boldness toward you⁺; much [is] my boasting on behalf of you⁺; I have been filled with encouragement; I overabound with joy upon all our tribulation.
2 Corinthians 7:5	For also of our having come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest; but we are being pressed in every [way]: conflicts on the outside, fears within.
2 Corinthians 7:6	But God, the One comforting the downcast, comforted us in the coming of Titus,
2 Corinthians 7:7	and not only in his coming, but also in the comfort with which he was comforted over you⁺, declaring to us your⁺ longing, your⁺ mourning, your⁺ zeal for me, so as for me to rejoice the more.
2 Corinthians 7:8	For if also I grieved you⁺ in the letter, I do not regret [it]—even if I did regret [it]; for I see that the letter grieved you⁺, that even if for an hour.
2 Corinthians 7:9	Now I rejoice, not that you⁺ were grieved, but that you⁺ were grieved unto repentance. For you⁺ were grieved according to God, so that you⁺ might suffer loss in nothing through us.
2 Corinthians 7:10	For grief according to God works repentance unto salvation without regret; but the grief of the world produces death.
2 Corinthians 7:11	For behold how much earnestness this same thing—to have been grieved according to God—produced in you⁺: but defense, but indignation, but fear, but longing, but zeal, but avenging! In everything, you⁺ commended yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
2 Corinthians 7:12	So even if I wrote to you⁺, [it was] not for the sake of the one having done wrong, nor for the sake of the one having suffered wrong, but for the sake of your⁺ earnestness for us being made manifest to you⁺ before God.
2 Corinthians 7:13	On account of this, we have been comforted. And upon our comfort, we rejoiced more abundantly rather at the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you⁺.
2 Corinthians 7:14	For if I have boasted anything to him about you⁺, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you⁺ in truth, so also our boasting to Titus became truth.
2 Corinthians 7:15	And his affections are more abundantly for you⁺, remembering the obedience of all of you⁺, how you⁺ received him with fear and trembling.
2 Corinthians 7:16	I rejoice that in everything I am confident in you⁺.
2 Corinthians 8:1	Now we make known to you⁺, brothers, the grace of God having been given in the churches of Macedonia,
2 Corinthians 8:2	that in much proof of tribulation, the abundance of their joy and of their deep poverty abounded into the riches of their generosity.
2 Corinthians 8:3	For I testify [that] according to [their] power and beyond [their] power, of their own accord,
2 Corinthians 8:4	with much entreaty [they were] imploring us for the grace and the fellowship of the service to the saints.
2 Corinthians 8:5	And not even as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and to us by the will of God.
2 Corinthians 8:6	Accordingly, we exhorted Titus that just as he began before, so also he might complete to you⁺ also this grace,
2 Corinthians 8:7	but just as you⁺ abound in everything—in faith and word and knowledge and all earnestness and in the love from us in you⁺—that also you⁺ may abound in this grace.
2 Corinthians 8:8	I do not speak as a command, but proving the genuineness of your⁺ love through the earnestness of others also.
2 Corinthians 8:9	For you⁺ know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich, on account of you⁺ He became poor, so that you⁺ by that poverty might be enriched.
2 Corinthians 8:10	And I give a judgment in this [matter], for this is profitable for you⁺, who not only began before to do, but also to will, from a year ago.
2 Corinthians 8:11	And now also complete the doing, so that just as [there was] the readiness to will, so also [there may be] to complete out of that which you have.
2 Corinthians 8:12	For if the readiness is present, [it is] acceptable as if he may have, not as he does not have.
2 Corinthians 8:13	For [it is] not that to others [is] relief [and] for you⁺ tribulation, but of equality.
2 Corinthians 8:14	At the present time, your⁺ abundance [is] for their need, so that their abundance also may be for your⁺ need, so that there may be equality.
2 Corinthians 8:15	As it has been written: “The one who [gathered] much did not abound, and the one who [gathered] little did not lack.”
2 Corinthians 8:16	But thanks to God, the One putting the same earnestness for you⁺ in the heart of Titus.
2 Corinthians 8:17	For indeed he accepted the exhortation, but being more earnest, of his own accord he went out to you⁺.
2 Corinthians 8:18	And we sent with him the brother whose praise in the gospel [is] through all of the churches,
2 Corinthians 8:19	and not only [that], but also having been appointed by the churches, [he is] our fellow traveler with this grace that [is] being ministered by us toward the glory of the Lord Himself and [to] our readiness,
2 Corinthians 8:20	avoiding this, lest anyone should blame us in this abundance being ministered by us.
2 Corinthians 8:21	For we are giving forethought to what is right, not only before the Lord but also before men.
2 Corinthians 8:22	Now we sent with them our brother, whom we proved often in many things to be earnest, but now much more earnest by [his] confidence that [is] in you⁺.
2 Corinthians 8:23	Whether as regards Titus my partner and fellow worker for you⁺. or our brothers, [they are] apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ—
2 Corinthians 8:24	the demonstration therefore of your⁺ love and of our boasting on behalf of you⁺ to them, demonstrated to the face of the churches.
2 Corinthians 9:1	For indeed, concerning the ministry to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you⁺.
2 Corinthians 9:2	For I know your⁺ readiness, which I boast of to Macedonians on behalf of you⁺, that Achaia has been prepared from a year ago, and your⁺ zeal provoked the greater part.
2 Corinthians 9:3	But I sent the brothers so that our boasting that [is] on behalf of you⁺ in this matter should not be made void, so that you⁺ may be prepared, as I have been saying—
2 Corinthians 9:4	lest perhaps if Macedonians should come with me and should find you⁺ unprepared, we would be put to shame—not that we might say you⁺—in this confidence.
2 Corinthians 9:5	Therefore I deemed [it] necessary to exhort the brothers that they should go before to you⁺ and should complete beforehand your⁺ foreannounced blessing, thus [for] this to be ready as a blessing and not as covetousness.
2 Corinthians 9:6	Now this: The one sowing sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one sowing upon blessings will also reap upon blessings,
2 Corinthians 9:7	each as he has purposed in the heart, not out of grief or out of necessity. For God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:8	And God [is] able to make all grace abound to you⁺, so that in every [way], always, having all sufficiency, you⁺ may abound to every good work.
2 Corinthians 9:9	As it has been written: “He scattered abroad; He gave to the poor; His righteousness remains to the age.”
2 Corinthians 9:10	Now the One supplying seed to the one sowing and bread for food will supply and will multiply your⁺ seed and will increase the fruits of your⁺ righteousness,
2 Corinthians 9:11	being enriched in every [way] to all generosity, which produces through us thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:12	For the ministry of this service is not only supplying the needs of the saints, but is also abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
2 Corinthians 9:13	through the proof of this ministry, glorifying God upon your⁺ submission of confession to the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of the fellowship to them and to all.
2 Corinthians 9:14	And their supplication [is] for you⁺, longing for you⁺ on account of the surpassing grace of God upon you⁺.
2 Corinthians 9:15	Thanks [be] to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 10:1	Now I, Paul, myself exhort you⁺ by the mildness and gentleness of Christ—[I] who indeed as to presence [am] humble among you⁺, but being absent am bold toward you⁺.
2 Corinthians 10:2	Now I implore [you] that being present, [I need] not to be bold with the confidence with which I reckon to be daring toward some reckoning us as walking according to the flesh.
2 Corinthians 10:3	For walking in flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.
2 Corinthians 10:4	For the weapons of our warfare [are] not fleshly, but powerful before God toward the tearing down of strongholds,
2 Corinthians 10:5	tearing down arguments and every high thing lifting itself up against the knowledge of God, and taking captive every thought into the obedience of Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:6	and having readiness within to avenge all disobedience, when your⁺ obedience shall have been fulfilled.
2 Corinthians 10:7	You⁺ are looking at things according to appearance. If anyone has been persuaded in himself to be of Christ, let him reckon this upon himself again, that as he [is] of Christ, so also [are] we.
2 Corinthians 10:8	For even if I should boast somewhat more abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave [us] for building up and not for tearing you⁺ down, I will not be ashamed,
2 Corinthians 10:9	so that I might not seem as if to frighten you⁺ through the letters.
2 Corinthians 10:10	For they say, “The letters indeed [are] weighty and strong, but the presence of the body [is] weak, and the word is of no account.”
2 Corinthians 10:11	Let such a one reckon this, that such as we are in word through letters being absent, also such [we are] in deed being present.
2 Corinthians 10:12	For we do not dare to classify or to compare ourselves [with] some commending themselves. But these, measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, do not understand.
2 Corinthians 10:13	But we will not boast unto the things without measure, but according to the measure of the area that God apportioned to us, a measure to reach even as far as you⁺.
2 Corinthians 10:14	For we are not overextending ourselves, as not reaching to you⁺. For we came also as far as you⁺ in the gospel of Christ,
2 Corinthians 10:15	not boasting unto the things without measure in others’ labors, but having hope [of] your⁺ faith increasing among you⁺ to be enlarged according to our area, to abundance,
2 Corinthians 10:16	so as to preach the gospel [in] the [places] beyond you⁺, not to boast in the things ready in another’s area.
2 Corinthians 10:17	But, “The one boasting, let him boast in the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 10:18	For the one commending himself, that one is not approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
2 Corinthians 11:1	I wish you⁺ were bearing with me in a little foolishness, but you⁺ also bear with me.
2 Corinthians 11:2	For I am jealous [as to] you⁺ with the jealousy of God. For I betrothed you⁺ to one husband, to present a pure virgin to Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:3	But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, your⁺ minds might be corrupted from the simplicity and the purity that [is] to Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:4	For if indeed the one coming proclaims another Jesus whom we did not proclaim, or you⁺ receive a different spirit that you⁺ did not receive, or a different gospel that you⁺ did not accept, you⁺ bear with [it] well.
2 Corinthians 11:5	For I reckon in nothing to have been lacking [to] the “most eminent apostles.”
2 Corinthians 11:6	But even if [I am] unskilled in word, yet not in knowledge; but in every [way], we were made manifest to you⁺ in all things.
2 Corinthians 11:7	Or did I commit a sin, humbling myself so that you⁺ might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you⁺ freely?
2 Corinthians 11:8	I robbed other churches, having received support for ministry to you⁺.
2 Corinthians 11:9	And being present with you⁺ and having been in need, I burdened no one; for the brothers having come from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept and will keep myself unburdensome to you⁺.
2 Corinthians 11:10	The truth of Christ is in me, that this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
2 Corinthians 11:11	Because of what? Because I do not love you⁺? God knows [I do]!
2 Corinthians 11:12	But what I do, I also will do, so that I might cut off the opportunity of those wanting an opportunity that in what they boast they might be found according as also we.
2 Corinthians 11:13	For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:14	And no wonder, for Satan himself disguises himself as an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:15	Therefore [it is] not great if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
2 Corinthians 11:16	Again I say, no one should think me to be a fool; but if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
2 Corinthians 11:17	What I am speaking, I am not speaking according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
2 Corinthians 11:18	Since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.
2 Corinthians 11:19	For gladly you⁺ bear with fools—being wise!
2 Corinthians 11:20	For you⁺ bear with [it] if anyone enslaves you⁺, if anyone devours [you], if anyone takes [from you], if anyone lifts himself up, if anyone strikes you⁺ in the face.
2 Corinthians 11:21	I speak as to dishonor, as that we have been weak! But in that which anyone may dare—I speak in foolishness—I also dare.
2 Corinthians 11:22	Are they Hebrews? I also. Are they Israelites? I also. Are they seed of Abraham? I also.
2 Corinthians 11:23	Are they servants of Christ? I speak as being beside myself—I [too] above measure: in labors more abundantly, in imprisonments more abundantly, in beatings surpassingly, in deaths often.
2 Corinthians 11:24	Five times I received from the Jews forty [lashes] minus one.
2 Corinthians 11:25	Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked. I have passed a night and a day in the deep;
2 Corinthians 11:26	in journeyings often, in dangers of rivers, in dangers of robbers; in dangers from kindred, in dangers from the Gentiles; in dangers in the city, in dangers in the wilderness; in dangers in the sea, in dangers among false brothers;
2 Corinthians 11:27	in labor and toil, in sleepless [nights] often; in hunger and thirst, in fastings often; in cold and nakedness.
2 Corinthians 11:28	Apart from the external things, the crowding on me on every day [is] the care of all the churches.
2 Corinthians 11:29	Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I am not burned?
2 Corinthians 11:30	If it is necessary to boast, I will boast [in] the things of my weakness.
2 Corinthians 11:31	The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, the One being blessed to the ages, knows that I am not lying.
2 Corinthians 11:32	In Damascus the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of the Damascenes to seize me.
2 Corinthians 11:33	But I was let down in a basket through a window through the wall, and I escaped his hands.
2 Corinthians 12:1	It is necessary to boast; it is not profitable indeed, but I will go to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:2	I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago—whether in the body, I do not know, or out of the body, I do not know; God knows—such a man, having been caught up to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:3	And I know such a man—whether in the body or apart from the body, I do not know; God knows—
2 Corinthians 12:4	that he was caught up into Paradise, and he heard inexpressible words, not being permitted to man to speak.
2 Corinthians 12:5	On behalf of such a man I will boast; but on behalf of myself I will not boast, except in the weaknesses.
2 Corinthians 12:6	For if I should want to boast, I will not be a fool, for I will be speaking the truth. But I refrain, lest anyone should reckon to me above what he sees in me or anything he hears of me,
2 Corinthians 12:7	and the surpassingness of the revelations. Therefore, so that I should not be over-exalted, a thorn in [my] flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, so that I should not be over-exalted.
2 Corinthians 12:8	Three times I entreated the Lord for this, that it might depart from me.
2 Corinthians 12:9	And He has said to me, “My grace suffices for you, for the power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, rather, I will boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:10	Therefore I am well pleased in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions and difficulties—for Christ; for when I may be weak, then I am powerful.
2 Corinthians 12:11	I have become a fool; you⁺ compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you⁺. For in nothing was I lacking [to] the “most eminent apostles,” even if I am nothing.
2 Corinthians 12:12	Indeed, the signs of the apostle were performed among you⁺ in all perseverance, both in signs and wonders and miracles.
2 Corinthians 12:13	For [in] what is it that you⁺ were inferior beyond the rest [of] the churches, except that I myself did not burden you⁺? Forgive me this wrong!
2 Corinthians 12:14	Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you⁺, and I will not be a burden. For I do not seek what [is] yours⁺, but you⁺. For the children ought not to treasure up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
2 Corinthians 12:15	Now I will spend most gladly, and will be utterly spent for your⁺ souls. If loving you⁺ more abundantly, am I loved less?
2 Corinthians 12:16	But be it so, I did not burden you⁺; but being crafty, I took you⁺ by trickery.
2 Corinthians 12:17	By any of whom I have sent to you⁺, did I take advantage of you⁺ by him?
2 Corinthians 12:18	I exhorted Titus [to go], and I sent with [him] the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you⁺? Did we not walk in the same Spirit? Not in the same footsteps?
2 Corinthians 12:19	Do you⁺ think all along that we are making a defense to you⁺? We speak in Christ before God, and all things, beloved, for your⁺ edification.
2 Corinthians 12:20	For I fear lest somehow, having come, I might not find you⁺ such as I wish, and I might be found by you⁺ such as you⁺ do not wish; lest somehow [there is] strife, jealousy, rage, rivalries, slander, gossip, conceit, disorder;
2 Corinthians 12:21	lest [on] my having come again, my God should humble me as to you⁺, and I should mourn many of those having before sinned and not having repented of the impurity and sexual immorality and sensuality that they have practiced.
2 Corinthians 13:1	This third [time] I am coming to you⁺. “On the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established.”
2 Corinthians 13:2	I have said before, and I say [it] before as being present the second time and being absent now, to those having sinned before and to all the rest, that if I come to the [same] again, I will not spare [anyone],
2 Corinthians 13:3	since you⁺ seek proof of Christ speaking in me, who is not weak toward you⁺ but is powerful among you⁺.
2 Corinthians 13:4	For also He was crucified out of weakness, yet He lives out of God's power. For we also are weak in Him, but we will live with Him out of God’s power toward you⁺.
2 Corinthians 13:5	Test yourselves, whether you⁺ are in the faith; examine yourselves. Or do you⁺ not recognize yourselves that Jesus Christ [is] in you⁺?—unless you⁺ are unapproved.
2 Corinthians 13:6	And I trust that you⁺ will learn that we are not unapproved.
2 Corinthians 13:7	Now we pray to God [for] you⁺ to do nothing wrong, not that we might appear approved, but that you⁺ may do what [is] right, though we might appear as unapproved.
2 Corinthians 13:8	For we have no power against the truth, but for the truth.
2 Corinthians 13:9	For we rejoice when we may be weak but you⁺ may be powerful. This also we pray for: your⁺ perfection.
2 Corinthians 13:10	Because of this, I write these things being absent, so that being present I should not treat [you] severely according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
2 Corinthians 13:11	Finally, brothers, rejoice! Be perfected, be exhorted, [be of] the same mind, be at peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you⁺.
2 Corinthians 13:12	Greet one another with a holy kiss.
2 Corinthians 13:13	All the saints greet you⁺.
2 Corinthians 13:14	The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit [be] with all of you⁺.
Galatians 1:1	Paul, an apostle—not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, the One having raised Him out from the dead—
Galatians 1:2	and all the brothers with me, To the churches of Galatia:
Galatians 1:3	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians 1:4	the One having given Himself for our sins so that He might rescue us out of the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,
Galatians 1:5	to whom [be] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Galatians 1:6	I marvel that so quickly you⁺ are deserting from the One having called you⁺ in the grace of Christ to another gospel,
Galatians 1:7	which is not another, except there are some who are troubling you⁺ and are wanting to pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:8	But even if we or an angel out of heaven should preach a gospel to you⁺ contrary to what we preached to you⁺, let him be accursed!
Galatians 1:9	As we have said before, even now I say again: If anyone preaches a gospel [to] you⁺ contrary to what you⁺ received, let him be accursed!
Galatians 1:10	For presently do I appease men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:11	For I make known to you⁺, brothers, the gospel having been preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Galatians 1:12	For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught [it], but through a revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:13	For you⁺ heard of my conduct formerly in Judaism, that according to excess I was persecuting the church of God and was ravaging it.
Galatians 1:14	And I was advancing in Judaism beyond many contemporaries among my kindred, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
Galatians 1:15	But when God was well pleased—the One having set me apart from the womb of my mother and having called [me] by His grace—
Galatians 1:16	to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I conferred not immediately with flesh and blood,
Galatians 1:17	nor did I go up to Jerusalem to the apostles before me, but I went away to Arabia and returned again to Damascus.
Galatians 1:18	Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Cephas, and I remained with him fifteen days.
Galatians 1:19	But I did not see [any] of the other apostles except James, the brother of the Lord.
Galatians 1:20	Now the things I write to you⁺, behold before God that I do not lie.
Galatians 1:21	Then I went to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Galatians 1:22	But I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea that [are] in Christ.
Galatians 1:23	But they were only hearing that “the one formerly persecuting us now preaches the faith that formerly he was ravaging.”
Galatians 1:24	And they were glorifying God in me.
Galatians 2:1	Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken along Titus also.
Galatians 2:2	Now I went up according to a revelation, and I set before them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles; but in private to those esteemed, lest somehow I might be running or had run in vain.
Galatians 2:3	But not even Titus, who [was] with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised,
Galatians 2:4	even because of the false brothers introduced stealthily, who came in stealthily to spy on our freedom that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they will enslave us,
Galatians 2:5	to whom we did not yield in submission for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might remain with you⁺.
Galatians 2:6	Now of those being esteemed to be something, whatever they were formerly makes no difference to me—God does not accept the face of man——for those being esteemed imparted nothing to me.
Galatians 2:7	But on the contrary, having seen that I have been entrusted with the gospel of the uncircumcision just as Peter of the circumcision—
Galatians 2:8	for the One having worked in Peter for an apostleship of the circumcision worked also in me for the Gentiles—
Galatians 2:9	and having known the grace having been given to me, James and Cephas and John, those esteemed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we [are] unto the Gentiles, but they unto the circumcision,
Galatians 2:10	only that we should remember the poor, also the same thing that I was eager to do.
Galatians 2:11	But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed [him] to his face because he was standing condemned.
Galatians 2:12	For before certain ones came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles. But when they came, he was drawing back and was separating himself, fearing those of the circumcision.
Galatians 2:13	And also the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy.
Galatians 2:14	But when I saw that they are not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas before all, “If you, being a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how do you compel the Gentiles to Judaize?”
Galatians 2:15	We by nature Jews and not “sinners of the Gentiles,”
Galatians 2:16	are knowing now that a man is not justified by works of the law, except through faith from Jesus Christ. We also believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith from Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law not any flesh will be justified.
Galatians 2:17	But if, seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, [is] Christ then a minister of sin? Never may it be!
Galatians 2:18	For if I build again these things that I tore down, I prove myself a transgressor.
Galatians 2:19	For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
Galatians 2:20	I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And that which I now live in the flesh, I live in faith of the Son of God, the One having loved me and having given up Himself for me.
Galatians 2:21	I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness [is] through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
Galatians 3:1	O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you⁺, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was previously written [as] having been crucified?
Galatians 3:2	I want only to learn this from you⁺: Did you⁺ receive the Spirit out of works of the law or out of hearing of faith?
Galatians 3:3	Are you⁺ so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you⁺ now finishing in the flesh?
Galatians 3:4	Did you⁺ suffer so much in vain, if indeed even in vain?
Galatians 3:5	Therefore, the One supplying to you⁺ the Spirit and working miracles among you⁺, [is it] out of works of the law, or out of hearing of faith—
Galatians 3:6	just as, “Abraham believed God and it was reckoned to him for righteousness”?
Galatians 3:7	Know, then, that those of faith, these are sons of Abraham.
Galatians 3:8	Now the Scripture, having foreseen that God justifies the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the gospel beforehand to Abraham: “All the nations will be blessed in you.”
Galatians 3:9	So then, those of faith are blessed along with the faithful Abraham.
Galatians 3:10	For as many as are of works of the law, they are under a curse, for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone who does not continue in all things having been written in the Book of the Law, to do them.”
Galatians 3:11	Now [it is] evident that no one is justified before God in the law, because, “The righteous will live out of faith.”
Galatians 3:12	But the law is not out of faith; rather, “The one having done these things will live in them.”
Galatians 3:13	Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it has been written: “Cursed [is] everyone hanging on a tree,”
Galatians 3:14	so that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:15	Brothers, I am speaking according to man. Even a covenant of man having been ratified, no one sets [it] aside or adds thereto.
Galatians 3:16	Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. It does not say “and to seeds,” as of many, but as of One, “and to your seed,” who is Christ.
Galatians 3:17	Now I say this: The law, having come four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not repeal the covenant having been ratified beforehand by God, so as to nullify the promise.
Galatians 3:18	For if the inheritance [is] by the law, [it is] no longer by a promise. But God has granted [it] to Abraham through a promise.
Galatians 3:19	Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed to whom promise has been made shall have come, having been ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator.
Galatians 3:20	Now the mediator is not of one; but God is one.
Galatians 3:21	[Is] the law, therefore, contrary to the promises of God? Never may it be! For if a law were given being able to make alive, then righteousness indeed would have been from out of the law.
Galatians 3:22	But the Scripture shut in all things under sin, so that by faith from Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those believing.
Galatians 3:23	Now before the faith came, we were being held in custody under the law, having been shut in until the faith being about to be revealed,
Galatians 3:24	so that the law has become our tutor unto Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25	And faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Galatians 3:26	For you⁺ are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27	For as many of you⁺ as were baptized into Christ, you⁺ put on Christ.
Galatians 3:28	There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male and female; for you⁺ are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:29	Now if you⁺ [are] of Christ, then you⁺ are Abraham’s seed, heirs according to promise.
Galatians 4:1	Now I say, for as long a time as the heir is a child, he differs nothing from a slave, [though] being lord of all.
Galatians 4:2	But he is under guardians and managers until the appointed time of the father.
Galatians 4:3	So also we, when we were children, were enslaved under the elements of the world.
Galatians 4:4	But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, having been born of a woman, having been born under the law,
Galatians 4:5	that He might redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Galatians 4:6	And because you⁺ are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!”
Galatians 4:7	So you are no longer a slave but a son; and if a son, also an heir through God.
Galatians 4:8	But then, indeed, not knowing God, you⁺ were in slavery to those by nature not being gods.
Galatians 4:9	But now, having known God, but rather having been known by God, how do you⁺ turn again to the weak and poor elements, to which you⁺ want to be in slavery again anew?
Galatians 4:10	You⁺ observe days and months and seasons and years!
Galatians 4:11	I fear for you⁺, lest somehow I have toiled for you⁺ in vain.
Galatians 4:12	I implore you⁺, brothers, become as I [am], because I also [am] as you⁺. You⁺ wronged me in nothing.
Galatians 4:13	Now you⁺ know that in weakness of the flesh I preached the gospel to you⁺ the first [time].
Galatians 4:14	And the test of you⁺ in my flesh, you⁺ did not despise nor reject; but you⁺ received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus.
Galatians 4:15	Where then [is] your⁺ blessedness? For I testify to you⁺ that, if possible, having gouged out your⁺ eyes, you⁺ would have given [them] to me.
Galatians 4:16	So have I become your⁺ enemy speaking truth to you⁺?
Galatians 4:17	They are zealous for you⁺, not nobly, but they want to exclude you⁺ [from us], so that you⁺ may be zealous for them.
Galatians 4:18	Now [it is] good to be zealous in a good [thing], always and not only in my being present with you⁺.
Galatians 4:19	My children, of whom I travail again until that Christ shall have been formed in you⁺,
Galatians 4:20	I was wishing indeed to be present with you⁺ now and to change my tone, because I am perplexed as to you⁺.
Galatians 4:21	Tell me, those wanting to be under the law, do you⁺ not listen to the law?
Galatians 4:22	For it has been written that Abraham had two sons, one of the slave woman and one of the free woman.
Galatians 4:23	But indeed, the one of the slave woman has been born according to flesh, but the one of the free woman through the promise,
Galatians 4:24	which things are allegorized, for these are two covenants: one indeed from Mount Sinai begetting unto slavery, which is Hagar.
Galatians 4:25	Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.
Galatians 4:26	But the Jerusalem above is free, who is our mother.
Galatians 4:27	For it has been written: “Rejoice O barren woman, the one not bearing; break forth and cry out, the one not travailing; because many more [are] the children of the desolate woman than of her having the husband.”
Galatians 4:28	Now you⁺, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
Galatians 4:29	But just as then the one having been born according to flesh was persecuting the one [born] according to the Spirit, so also [it is] now.
Galatians 4:30	But what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman will never inherit with the son of the free woman.”
Galatians 4:31	Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Galatians 5:1	In freedom Christ set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not be entangled again in a yoke of slavery.
Galatians 5:2	Behold, I, Paul, say to you⁺ that if you⁺ may become circumcised, Christ will profit you⁺ nothing.
Galatians 5:3	Now I testify again to every man becoming circumcised that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians 5:4	You⁺ were severed from Christ, whoever are being justified in the law; you⁺ fell away from grace.
Galatians 5:5	For through the Spirit, by faith, we eagerly await the hope of righteousness.
Galatians 5:6	For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any power, but faith working through love.
Galatians 5:7	You⁺ were running well. Who obstructed you⁺ not to obey the truth?
Galatians 5:8	[This] persuasion [is] not of the One calling you⁺.
Galatians 5:9	A little leaven leavens the whole lump.
Galatians 5:10	I am confident as to you⁺ in the Lord that you⁺ will have no other mind. But the one troubling you⁺ will bear the judgment, whoever he might be.
Galatians 5:11	Now, brothers, if I still proclaim circumcision, why still am I persecuted? Then the offense of the cross has been nullified.
Galatians 5:12	I wish those upsetting you⁺ also will cut themselves off!
Galatians 5:13	For you⁺ were called to freedom, brothers, only not the freedom for an opportunity to the flesh. But serve one another through love.
Galatians 5:14	For all the law is fulfilled in one word, in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Galatians 5:15	But if you⁺ bite and devour one another, watch out, lest you⁺ might be consumed by one another.
Galatians 5:16	Now I say, walk by the Spirit, and you⁺ shall never complete the desire [of] the flesh.
Galatians 5:17	For the flesh desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh. For these are opposed to one another so that the [things] you⁺ may want, these things you⁺ may not do.
Galatians 5:18	But if you⁺ are led by the Spirit, you⁺ are not under the law.
Galatians 5:19	Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,
Galatians 5:20	idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of rage, rivalries, dissensions, factions,
Galatians 5:21	envies, drunkennesses, carousings, and things like these, as to which I say to you⁺ beforehand, as also I said before, that those doing such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5:22	But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
Galatians 5:23	gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:24	Now those of Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with the passions and the desires.
Galatians 5:25	If we live by the Spirit, we should also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:26	We should not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians 6:1	Brothers, even if a man should be overtaken in some trespass, you⁺ the spiritual ones, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, looking at yourself, lest you also be tempted.
Galatians 6:2	Bear one another’s burdens and thus you⁺ will fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:3	For if anyone thinks [himself] to be something being nothing, he deceives himself.
Galatians 6:4	But let each test his own work, and then he will have boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
Galatians 6:5	For each will bear his own load.
Galatians 6:6	Now let the one being instructed in the word share with the one instructing in all good things.
Galatians 6:7	Do not be led astray: God is not mocked. For whatever a man may sow, this also he will reap.
Galatians 6:8	For the one sowing to his flesh, from the flesh will reap corruption; but the one sowing to the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Galatians 6:9	And we should not grow fainthearted [in] doing good, for in due time we will reap, not giving up.
Galatians 6:10	So then, as we have opportunity, we should work good toward all, and especially toward those of the household of the faith.
Galatians 6:11	See what large letters I have written to you⁺ with my own hand!
Galatians 6:12	As many as want to have a fair appearance in the flesh, these compel you⁺ to be circumcised, only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
Galatians 6:13	For not even those being circumcised keep the law themselves, but they want you⁺ to be circumcised that they may boast in your⁺ flesh.
Galatians 6:14	But for me, may it be never to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I [to] the world.
Galatians 6:15	For neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is anything, but a new creation.
Galatians 6:16	And as many as those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy [be] upon them, and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians 6:17	Henceforth, let no one cause to me troubles, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.
Galatians 6:18	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your⁺ spirit, brothers. Amen.
Ephesians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, To the saints being in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians 1:2	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 1:3	Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One having blessed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ in the heavenly realms,
Ephesians 1:4	just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world for us to be holy and blameless before Him, in love
Ephesians 1:5	having predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
Ephesians 1:6	to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He graciously gave us in the Beloved One,
Ephesians 1:7	in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,
Ephesians 1:8	which He abounded to us in all wisdom and understanding,
Ephesians 1:9	having made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Him
Ephesians 1:10	for the administration of the fullness of the times, to bring together all things in Christ—the things in the heavens and the things upon the earth—
Ephesians 1:11	in Him, in whom also we obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His will
Ephesians 1:12	for us to be to the praise of His glory, the ones having first hoped in Christ,
Ephesians 1:13	in whom you⁺ also, having heard the word of truth, the gospel of your⁺ salvation, in whom also having believed, you⁺ were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians 1:14	who is the pledge of our inheritance to the redemption of the acquired possession, to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:15	Because of this, I also, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus among you⁺ and the love to all the saints,
Ephesians 1:16	do not cease giving thanks for you⁺, making remembrance in my prayers,
Ephesians 1:17	that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you⁺ a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
Ephesians 1:18	the eyes your⁺ of heart being enlightened for you⁺ to know what is the hope of His calling, what [are] the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:19	and what [is] the surpassing greatness of His power to us, those believing, according to the working of the power of His strength,
Ephesians 1:20	which He worked in Christ, having raised Him out from the dead, and having seated [Him] at His right hand in the heavenly realms,
Ephesians 1:21	far above every principality and authority and power and lordship and every name being named, not only in this age, but also in the one about to be.
Ephesians 1:22	And He subjected all things under His feet and gave Him [to be] head over all things to the church,
Ephesians 1:23	which is His body, the fullness of the One filling all in all.
Ephesians 2:1	And you⁺, being dead in your⁺ trespasses and sins—
Ephesians 2:2	in which once you⁺ walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience,
Ephesians 2:3	among whom we all also once conducted ourselves in the desires of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of [its] thoughts; and we were by nature children of wrath even as the rest.
Ephesians 2:4	But God, being rich in mercy, because of His much love with which He loved us,
Ephesians 2:5	even us being dead in trespasses, made [us] alive with Christ—by grace you⁺ are saved—
Ephesians 2:6	and He raised [us] up together and seated [us] together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Ephesians 2:7	so that in the ages that are coming, He might display the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8	For by grace you⁺ are saved through faith, and this not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God,
Ephesians 2:9	not by works, so that no one may boast.
Ephesians 2:10	For we are His workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:11	Therefore remember that once you⁺—the Gentiles in the flesh, the ones being called the uncircumcision by that being called the circumcision, done by hands in the flesh—
Ephesians 2:12	that at that time you⁺ were apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, not having hope and without God in the world.
Ephesians 2:13	But now in Christ Jesus you⁺, the ones once being far off, became near by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:14	For He Himself is our peace, having made both one and having broken down the middle wall of the partition, the hostility,
Ephesians 2:15	having annulled in His flesh the law of commandments in decrees, so that He might create in Himself the two into one new man, making peace,
Ephesians 2:16	and [that] He might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross, having put to death the hostility by it.
Ephesians 2:17	And having come, He preached good news: peace to you⁺, the ones far off, and peace to those near.
Ephesians 2:18	For through Him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
Ephesians 2:19	So then, you⁺ are no longer strangers and aliens, but you⁺ are fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God,
Ephesians 2:20	having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone,
Ephesians 2:21	in whom all the building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,
Ephesians 2:22	in whom you⁺ also are being built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
Ephesians 3:1	For reason of this, I Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you⁺ Gentiles...
Ephesians 3:2	If indeed you⁺ heard of the administration of the grace of God having been given to me for you⁺,
Ephesians 3:3	that by revelation was made known to me, the mystery, just as I wrote before in few [words],
Ephesians 3:4	which, by reading [it], you⁺ are able to understand my insight in the mystery of Christ,
Ephesians 3:5	which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as now it was revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
Ephesians 3:6	[that] the Gentiles are joint-heirs, and a joint-body, and joint-partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus, through the gospel,
Ephesians 3:7	of which I became servant according to the gift of the grace of God having been given to me according to the working of His power.
Ephesians 3:8	To me, the very least of all saints, was given this grace: to preach good news to the Gentiles, the untraceable riches of Christ,
Ephesians 3:9	and to enlighten all what [is] the administration of the mystery having been hidden away from the ages in God, the One having created all things,
Ephesians 3:10	so that [there] might be made known now to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly realms, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians 3:11	according to the purpose of the ages, which He accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord,
Ephesians 3:12	in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through the faith from Him.
Ephesians 3:13	Therefore I ask [you] not to grow fainthearted in my tribulations for you⁺, which [are] your⁺ glory.
Ephesians 3:14	... for reason of this, I bow my knees to the Father,
Ephesians 3:15	from whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named,
Ephesians 3:16	that He might give to you⁺ according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
Ephesians 3:17	[for] Christ to dwell in your⁺ hearts through faith, having been rooted and having been founded in love,
Ephesians 3:18	that you⁺ may be fully able, with all the saints, to comprehend what [is] the breadth and length and height and depth,
Ephesians 3:19	and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, that you⁺ may be filled to all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:20	Now to the One being able to do exceedingly above all things that we ask or think, according to the power that [is] working in us,
Ephesians 3:21	to Him [be] the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
Ephesians 4:1	Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you⁺ to walk worthily of the calling to which you⁺ were called,
Ephesians 4:2	with all humility and gentleness; with patience, bearing with one another in love;
Ephesians 4:3	being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace;
Ephesians 4:4	one body and one Spirit, just as also you⁺ were called in one hope of your⁺ calling;
Ephesians 4:5	one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
Ephesians 4:6	one God and Father of all, who [is] over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians 4:7	Now to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephesians 4:8	Therefore it says: “Having ascended on high, He led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men.”
Ephesians 4:9	Now what is the [saying] “He ascended,” except that He also descended into the lower regions of the earth?
Ephesians 4:10	The One having descended is also the same One having ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.
Ephesians 4:11	And He gave some indeed [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and some [as] evangelists, and some [as] shepherds and teachers,
Ephesians 4:12	toward the perfecting of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ,
Ephesians 4:13	until we all may come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a complete man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
Ephesians 4:14	so that no longer may we be infants, being tossed by waves and being carried around by every wind of teaching in the cunning of men in craftiness to the scheming of deceit.
Ephesians 4:15	But speaking the truth in love, we should grow in all things into Him who is the head, Christ,
Ephesians 4:16	from whom all the body, being fit together and being knit together by every joint of [its] supply, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body makes for the building up of itself in love.
Ephesians 4:17	This therefore I say and testify in the Lord: You⁺ [are] no longer to walk as also the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,
Ephesians 4:18	being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance being in them on account of the hardness of their heart,
Ephesians 4:19	who, having ceased to feel, gave themselves up to sensuality for the working of all impurity with covetousness.
Ephesians 4:20	But you⁺ did not learn Christ this way,
Ephesians 4:21	if indeed you⁺ heard Him and were taught in Him, just as the truth is in Jesus,
Ephesians 4:22	you⁺ are to put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is being corrupted according to the desires of deceit,
Ephesians 4:23	and to be renewed in the spirit of your⁺ mind,
Ephesians 4:24	and to have put on the new man, having been created according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Ephesians 4:25	Therefore, having put off falsehood, let each one speak truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
Ephesians 4:26	“Be angry, and do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your⁺ anger,
Ephesians 4:27	neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians 4:28	The one stealing, let him steal no longer, but rather let him toil, working with [his] own hands what [is] good, so that he may have [something] to impart to the one having need.
Ephesians 4:29	Do not let any rotten word go forth out of your⁺ mouth, but if any [is] good for edification of the need, so that it may give grace to those hearing.
Ephesians 4:30	And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you⁺ were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:31	Let all bitterness and rage and wrath and outcry and slander be removed from you⁺, with all malice.
Ephesians 4:32	And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as also God in Christ forgave you⁺.
Ephesians 5:1	Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,
Ephesians 5:2	and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us [as] an offering and a sacrifice to God, into a fragrance of a sweet smell.
Ephesians 5:3	But let sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness not even be named among you⁺, just as is proper to saints,
Ephesians 5:4	and shamefulness, and foolish talk, or crude joking, which are not fitting, but rather thanksgiving.
Ephesians 5:5	For this you⁺ know, realizing that every sexually immoral person, or impure person, or covetous person (who is an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians 5:6	Let no one deceive you⁺ with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Ephesians 5:7	Therefore do not be partakers with them.
Ephesians 5:8	For you⁺ were once darkness, but now [you are] light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—
Ephesians 5:9	for the fruit of the light [is] in all goodness and righteousness and truth—
Ephesians 5:10	discerning what is well-pleasing to the Lord.
Ephesians 5:11	And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose [them].
Ephesians 5:12	For it is shameful even to speak [of] the things being done by them in secret.
Ephesians 5:13	But everything being exposed by the light is made manifest, for everything being made manifest is light.
Ephesians 5:14	Therefore it says: “Awake you, the one sleeping, and rise up out from the dead, and Christ will shine upon you.”
Ephesians 5:15	Therefore watch carefully how you⁺ walk, not as unwise but as wise,
Ephesians 5:16	redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians 5:17	Because of this, do not be foolish, but understand what [is] the will of the Lord.
Ephesians 5:18	And do not be drunk with wine, in which is debauchery, but be filled in the Spirit,
Ephesians 5:19	speaking to each other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your⁺ heart to the Lord,
Ephesians 5:20	giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to the God and Father.
Ephesians 5:21	Be submitting to one another in fear of Christ:
Ephesians 5:22	wives, to [your] own husbands as to the Lord;
Ephesians 5:23	for the husband is head of the wife as also Christ [is] the head of the church, He Himself Savior of the body.
Ephesians 5:24	But as the church submits to Christ, so also wives to [their] husbands in everything.
Ephesians 5:25	Husbands, love [your] wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
Ephesians 5:26	so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed [her] by the washing of water in the word,
Ephesians 5:27	so that He might present to Himself the church in glory, not having spot or wrinkle or any of such things, but that she may be holy and blameless.
Ephesians 5:28	So also husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. The one loving his own wife loves himself.
Ephesians 5:29	For no one at any time hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cherishes it just as Christ also [does] the church.
Ephesians 5:30	For we are members of His body.
Ephesians 5:31	“Because of this, a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will be into one flesh.”
Ephesians 5:32	This mystery is great, but I speak as to Christ and as to the church.
Ephesians 5:33	However, you⁺ also, every one, let each so love his wife as himself; and the wife, that she may respect the husband.
Ephesians 6:1	Children, obey your⁺ parents in the Lord, for this is right.
Ephesians 6:2	“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise,
Ephesians 6:3	“that it may be well with you and you will be long-lived upon the earth.”
Ephesians 6:4	And fathers, do not provoke to anger your⁺ children, but nourish them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:5	Slaves, obey the masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling, in sincerity of your⁺ heart, as to Christ,
Ephesians 6:6	not with eye-service as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the soul,
Ephesians 6:7	serving with good will, as to the Lord and not to men,
Ephesians 6:8	knowing that each one, whatever good he might have done, this he will receive from the Lord, whether slave or free.
Ephesians 6:9	And masters, do the same things toward them, giving up threatening, knowing that also their Master and yours⁺ is in the heavens, and there is no partiality with Him.
Ephesians 6:10	Henceforth, be empowered in the Lord and in the might of His strength.
Ephesians 6:11	Put on the full armor of God, for you⁺ to be able to stand against the schemes of the devil,
Ephesians 6:12	because to us the wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenly realms.
Ephesians 6:13	Because of this, take up the full armor of God, so that you⁺ may be able to withstand in the day of evil, and having done all things, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14	Stand therefore, having girded your⁺ loins in truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
Ephesians 6:15	and having shod the feet in the readiness of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:16	in all, having taken up the shield of faith, in which you⁺ will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Ephesians 6:17	And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Ephesians 6:18	through all prayer and supplication, praying in the Spirit in every season and unto this very thing, staying awake with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,
Ephesians 6:19	and for me, that word may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known in boldness the mystery of the gospel,
Ephesians 6:20	for which I am an ambassador in a chain, that in it I may be bold, as it is necessary for me to speak.
Ephesians 6:21	And so that you⁺ also may know the things concerning me—what I am doing—Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will make known to you⁺ all things,
Ephesians 6:22	whom I sent to you⁺ for this, that you⁺ might know the things concerning us, and he may encourage your⁺ hearts.
Ephesians 6:23	Peace to the brothers and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 6:24	Grace [be] with all those loving our Lord Jesus Christ in incorruptibility.
Philippians 1:1	Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus being in Philippi, with the overseers and deacons:
Philippians 1:2	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:3	I thank my God upon every remembrance of you⁺,
Philippians 1:4	always in my every supplication for all of you⁺, making the supplication with joy,
Philippians 1:5	for your⁺ partnership in the gospel from the first day until now,
Philippians 1:6	being persuaded of this very thing, that the One having begun a good work in you⁺ will complete [it] until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:7	Accordingly, it is right for me to think this about all of you⁺, because of me having you⁺ in the heart. Both in my chains and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you⁺ all are fellow partakers of grace with me.
Philippians 1:8	For God [is] my witness how I long for you⁺ all in the inner affections of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:9	And this I pray, that your⁺ love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
Philippians 1:10	for you⁺ to approve the things being excellent, so that you⁺ may be pure and blameless unto the day of Christ,
Philippians 1:11	being filled with the fruit of righteousness that [is] through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
Philippians 1:12	Now I want you⁺ to know brothers, that the things concerning me really have come to the advancement of the gospel,
Philippians 1:13	so as for my chains in Christ to have become manifest in all the Praetorium and to all the rest;
Philippians 1:14	and most of the brothers, trusting in the Lord by my chains, dare more abundantly to speak fearlessly the word.
Philippians 1:15	Indeed, some, even through envy and strife, but some also through goodwill, preach Christ—
Philippians 1:16	the ones indeed out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel;
Philippians 1:17	but the [others] proclaim Christ out of self-interest, not purely, supposing to add tribulation to my chains.
Philippians 1:18	What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretext or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. And in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,
Philippians 1:19	for I know that this will turn out for me to deliverance, through your⁺ supplication and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Philippians 1:20	according to my eager expectation and hope that I will be ashamed in nothing, but in all boldness, as always, also now, Christ will be magnified in my body, whether through life or through death.
Philippians 1:21	For to me, to live [is] Christ and to die [is] gain.
Philippians 1:22	But if [I am] to live in flesh, this for me [is] the fruit of work; and what will I choose? I do not know.
Philippians 1:23	But I am pressed by the two, having the desire to depart and to be with Christ, for [it is] very much better,
Philippians 1:24	but to remain in the flesh [is] more necessary on account of you⁺.
Philippians 1:25	And having been persuaded of this, I know that I will remain and will continue with all of you⁺ for your⁺ progress and joy of the faith,
Philippians 1:26	so that through my coming to you⁺ again your⁺ boasting in me may abound in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:27	Only conduct yourselves worthily of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether having come and having seen you⁺, or being absent, I might hear the things concerning you⁺, that you⁺ stand firm in one spirit, contending together with one mind for the faith of the gospel,
Philippians 1:28	and not being frightened in [anything] by those opposing [you], which is a demonstration of destruction to them, but of salvation to you⁺—and this from God.
Philippians 1:29	For it was granted to you⁺ on behalf of Christ not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer on behalf of Him,
Philippians 1:30	having the same struggle such as you⁺ saw in me and now hear of in me.
Philippians 2:1	Therefore, if [there is] any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any inner affections and compassions,
Philippians 2:2	fulfill my joy so that you⁺ may be of the same mind, having the same love, united in soul, minding the one thing,
Philippians 2:3	nothing according to self-interest or according to vain conceit, but in humility esteeming one another surpassing yourselves,
Philippians 2:4	each looking at not the things of yourselves, but each also the things of others.
Philippians 2:5	Let this mind be in you⁺ that [was] also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 2:6	Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider to be equal with God something to be grasped,
Philippians 2:7	but emptied Himself, having taken the form of a servant, having been made in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8	And having been found in appearance as a man He humbled Himself, having become obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians 2:9	Therefore God also highly exalted Him and granted to Him the name above every name,
Philippians 2:10	that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in the heavens and on earth and under the earth,
Philippians 2:11	and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:12	Therefore, my beloved, just as always you⁺ obeyed, not only as in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2:13	For God is the One working in you⁺ both to will and to work on behalf of [His] good pleasure.
Philippians 2:14	Do all things without grumblings and disputings,
Philippians 2:15	so that you⁺ may be blameless and innocent, children of God unblemished in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you⁺ shine as lights in the world,
Philippians 2:16	holding forth the word of life for a boast to me in the day of Christ that I did not run in vain, nor did I toil in vain.
Philippians 2:17	But even if I am being poured out as a drink offering on the sacrifice and service of your⁺ faith, I rejoice and rejoice with you⁺ all.
Philippians 2:18	And likewise you⁺ also be glad and rejoice with me.
Philippians 2:19	But I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you⁺ soon, that I also may be of good spirit, having known the things concerning you⁺.
Philippians 2:20	For I have no one like-minded, who genuinely will care for the things concerning you⁺.
Philippians 2:21	For those all seek the things of themselves, not the things of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:22	But you⁺ know his proven worth, that as a child [with] a father he served with me in the gospel.
Philippians 2:23	Therefore indeed I hope to send him immediately, when I shall have seen the things concerning me.
Philippians 2:24	And I am persuaded in the Lord that I myself will also come soon.
Philippians 2:25	Now I deemed [it] necessary to send to you⁺ Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, and your⁺ messenger and minister of my need,
Philippians 2:26	since he was longing for you⁺ all and being deeply distressed because you⁺ heard that he was sick.
Philippians 2:27	And indeed he was sick, nearly unto death. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, that I might not have sorrow upon sorrow.
Philippians 2:28	Therefore I sent him all the more eagerly, so that having seen him again you⁺ may rejoice, and I may be less anxious.
Philippians 2:29	Therefore receive him in the Lord with all joy, and hold such in honor,
Philippians 2:30	because on account of the work of Christ he drew near unto death, having disregarded [his] life so that he might fill up your⁺ deficiency of service toward me.
Philippians 3:1	Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you⁺ indeed [is] not troublesome to me, and [is] secure for you⁺.
Philippians 3:2	Look out for the dogs! Look out for the evil workers! Look out for the mutilation!
Philippians 3:3	For we are the circumcision, those worshiping in the Spirit of God and boasting in Christ Jesus, and not having put confidence in the flesh—
Philippians 3:4	though I have confidence even in the flesh. If any other thinks to have confidence in the flesh, I more:
Philippians 3:5	circumcision [on] the eighth day; of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; according to the law, a Pharisee;
Philippians 3:6	according to zeal, persecuting the church; according to righteousness that [is] in the law, having become blameless.
Philippians 3:7	But whatever things were gain to me, these I have deemed loss because of Christ.
Philippians 3:8	But indeed, therefore, I also deem all things to be loss because of the surpassing knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, because of whom I have lost all things and deem [them] rubbish, that I may gain Christ
Philippians 3:9	and may be found in Him, not having my own righteousness that [is] of the law, but that which [is] through faith from Christ, the righteousness of God upon faith,
Philippians 3:10	to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
Philippians 3:11	if somehow I may attain to the resurrection out from the dead.
Philippians 3:12	Not that I already obtained [it] or already have been perfected, but I pursue, if also I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13	Brothers, I do not reckon myself to have taken hold [of it]. But one thing: Indeed, forgetting the things behind and stretching forward to the things ahead,
Philippians 3:14	I pursue toward the goal for the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:15	Therefore as many as [are] mature, we should be of this mind. And if you⁺ are minded [in] anything differently, even this God will reveal to you⁺.
Philippians 3:16	However, to that which we have attained, walk by the same.
Philippians 3:17	Be imitators together of me, brothers, and look at those walking thus, as you⁺ have a pattern in us.
Philippians 3:18	For many walk—[of] whom I told you⁺ often, and now I say even weeping—[as] enemies of the cross of Christ,
Philippians 3:19	whose end [is] destruction, whose god [is] the belly and [their] glory [is] in their shame, those minding earthly things.
Philippians 3:20	For our citizenship is in the heavens, from where also we eagerly await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,
Philippians 3:21	who will transform our body of humiliation [to be] conformed to the body of His glory, according to the working of His powering, even to subject all things to Himself.
Philippians 4:1	Therefore my brothers, beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, in this way stand firm in the Lord, beloved.
Philippians 4:2	I exhort Euodia and I exhort Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.
Philippians 4:3	Yes, and I ask you, genuine yokefellow, assist these [women] who in the gospel contended together with me, with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names [are] in the book of life.
Philippians 4:4	Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!
Philippians 4:5	Let your⁺ gentleness be known to all men. The Lord [is] near.
Philippians 4:6	Be anxious about nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your⁺ requests be made known to God.
Philippians 4:7	And the peace of God, that is surpassing all understanding, will guard your⁺ hearts and your⁺ minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:8	Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever [is] honorable, whatever [is] right, whatever [is] pure, whatever [is] lovely, whatever [is] well spoken of—if any excellence and if any praise—think on these things.
Philippians 4:9	And what you⁺ learned and received and heard and saw in me, practice these things. And the God of peace will be with you⁺.
Philippians 4:10	But I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that now at last you⁺ revived [your] being mindful for me, upon whom also you⁺ were mindful, but you⁺ were lacking opportunity.
Philippians 4:11	Not that I speak according to deficiency, for I have learned to be content in that which I am.
Philippians 4:12	I know also [how] to be brought low, and I know [how] to abound. In everything and in all things, I have learned the secret also to be full and to hunger, also to abound and to be deficient.
Philippians 4:13	I have strength [for] all things in the One empowering me.
Philippians 4:14	However, you⁺ did well having fellowship in my affliction.
Philippians 4:15	And you⁺ also know, Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I went out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me as to the matter of giving and receiving, except you⁺ only.
Philippians 4:16	For even in Thessalonica, both once and twice, you⁺ sent for my need.
Philippians 4:17	Not that I seek after the gift, but I seek after the fruit abounding to your⁺ account.
Philippians 4:18	But I have all things, and I abound. I have been filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things from you⁺, a fragrance of a sweet smell, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God.
Philippians 4:19	And my God will fill all your⁺ need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:20	Now to our God and Father [be] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Philippians 4:21	Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers with me greet you⁺.
Philippians 4:22	All the saints greet you⁺, and especially those of Caesar's household.
Philippians 4:23	The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your⁺ spirit.
Colossians 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy the brother,
Colossians 1:2	To the saints in Colossae and faithful brothers in Christ: Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father.
Colossians 1:3	We give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you⁺,
Colossians 1:4	having heard of your⁺ faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you⁺ have for all the saints,
Colossians 1:5	because of the hope being laid up for you⁺ in the heavens, which you⁺ heard of before in the word of truth, the gospel,
Colossians 1:6	the one being present unto you⁺, just as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, just as also among you⁺ from the day you⁺ heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
Colossians 1:7	just as you⁺ learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on behalf of us,
Colossians 1:8	the one also having made known to us your⁺ love in the Spirit.
Colossians 1:9	Because of this, we also from the day we heard do not cease praying for you⁺ and asking that you⁺ may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding
Colossians 1:10	to walk worthily of the Lord: pleasing in all, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God,
Colossians 1:11	being empowered with all power according to the power of His glory unto all endurance and patience, with joy
Colossians 1:12	giving thanks to the Father, the One having qualified you⁺ for the share of the inheritance of the saints in the light,
Colossians 1:13	who delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred [us] into the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Colossians 1:14	in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Colossians 1:15	[He] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation,
Colossians 1:16	because in Him were created all things in the heavens and on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or lordships or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through Him and for Him.
Colossians 1:17	And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:18	And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, firstborn out from the dead, so that He might be having preeminence in all things,
Colossians 1:19	because all the fullness was well pleased to dwell in Him,
Colossians 1:20	and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens.
Colossians 1:21	And you⁺, being once alienated and enemies in the mind, in the evil works—
Colossians 1:22	but now He has reconciled [you] in His body of flesh through death, to present you⁺ holy and unblemished and blameless before Him,
Colossians 1:23	if indeed you⁺ continue in the faith, established and steadfast, and not being moved away from the hope of the gospel that you⁺ heard, the one having been proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
Colossians 1:24	Now I rejoice in the sufferings for you⁺, and I am filling up that which is lacking of the tribulations of Christ in my flesh for His body, which is the church,
Colossians 1:25	of which I became a minister according to the administration of God having been given to me toward you⁺, to fulfill the word of God,
Colossians 1:26	the mystery having been hidden away from the ages and from the generations, but now having been manifested to His saints,
Colossians 1:27	to whom God willed to make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you⁺, the hope of glory,
Colossians 1:28	whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, so that we may present every man perfect in Christ.
Colossians 1:29	Unto this also I toil, striving according to His energy, which [is] working in me in power.
Colossians 2:1	For I want you⁺ to know how great a struggle I have for you⁺ and those in Laodicea and as many as have not seen my face in the flesh,
Colossians 2:2	that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and to all the riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God: Christ,
Colossians 2:3	in whom are hidden away all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.
Colossians 2:4	I say this so that no one may delude you⁺ by persuasive speech.
Colossians 2:5	For even if I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you⁺ in spirit, rejoicing and seeing your⁺ order and the firmness of your⁺ faith in Christ.
Colossians 2:6	Therefore, as you⁺ received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him,
Colossians 2:7	having been rooted and being built up in Him, and being confirmed in the faith, just as you⁺ were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:8	See, lest there will be anyone taking you⁺ captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elements of the world and not according to Christ,
Colossians 2:9	because in Him all the fullness of the Deity dwells bodily.
Colossians 2:10	And you⁺ are made complete in Him, who is the head of all rule and authority,
Colossians 2:11	in whom also you⁺ were circumcised with the circumcision done without hands in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ,
Colossians 2:12	having been buried with Him in baptism, in which also you⁺ were raised with [Him] through the faith from the working of God, the One having raised Him out from the dead.
Colossians 2:13	And you⁺ being dead in the trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your⁺ flesh, He made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all the trespasses,
Colossians 2:14	having blotted out the handwriting in the decrees against us, which was adverse to us. And He has taken it out of the midst, having nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:15	Having divested the rulers and the authorities, He made a show [of them] in public, having triumphed over them in it.
Colossians 2:16	Therefore let no one judge you⁺ in food or in drink or in the part of a feast or of a New Moon or of Sabbaths,
Colossians 2:17	which are a shadow the things about to be; but the body [is] of the Christ.
Colossians 2:18	Let no one disqualify you⁺, delighting in humility and worship of the angels, going into what he has seen, vainly being puffed up by the mind of his flesh,
Colossians 2:19	and not holding fast to the head, from whom all the body, being supplied and being knit together by the joints and ligaments, grows with the growth of God.
Colossians 2:20	If you⁺ died with Christ, away from the elements of the world, why, as if living in the world, are you⁺ subject to decrees:
Colossians 2:21	“You should not handle! You should not taste! You should not touch!”—
Colossians 2:22	which are all unto decay with the use, according to the precepts and teachings of men,
Colossians 2:23	which, having indeed a word of wisdom in self-willed worship and humility and harsh treatment of the body, are not in any value toward the indulgence of the flesh.
Colossians 3:1	If, then, you⁺ were raised with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God.
Colossians 3:2	Mind the things above, not the things on the earth.
Colossians 3:3	For you⁺ died, and your⁺ life has been hidden with Christ in God.
Colossians 3:4	When Christ, your⁺ life, shall appear, then you⁺ also will appear with Him in glory.
Colossians 3:5	Put to death, therefore, the members that [are] upon the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry,
Colossians 3:6	because of which things the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience,
Colossians 3:7	in which you⁺ also walked once when you⁺ were living in them.
Colossians 3:8	But now you⁺ also put off all [these] things: wrath, rage, malice, slander, shameful talk out of your⁺ mouth.
Colossians 3:9	Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his practices,
Colossians 3:10	and having put on the new, the one being renewed in knowledge according to the image of the One having created him,
Colossians 3:11	where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ [is] all and in all.
Colossians 3:12	Put on, therefore, as the chosen ones of God, holy and beloved, inner parts of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience,
Colossians 3:13	bearing with one another and forgiving each other, if anyone may have a complaint toward another. Just as also the Lord forgave you⁺, so also you⁺.
Colossians 3:14	And over all these, [put on] love, which is the bond of perfection.
Colossians 3:15	And let the peace of Christ rule in your⁺ hearts, to which also you⁺ were called in one body. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:16	Let the word of Christ dwell in you⁺ richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other in psalms, hymns, [and] spiritual songs, in grace singing in your⁺ hearts to God.
Colossians 3:17	And everything, whatever you⁺ may do in word or in work, do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Colossians 3:18	Wives, submit yourselves to [your] husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Colossians 3:19	Husbands, love [your] wives and do not be bitter toward them.
Colossians 3:20	Children, obey [your] parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord.
Colossians 3:21	Fathers, do not provoke your⁺ children, so that they may not become discouraged.
Colossians 3:22	Slaves, obey according to all things the masters according to flesh, not with eye-services as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Colossians 3:23	That which you⁺ may do, work from the soul, as to the Lord and not to men,
Colossians 3:24	knowing that you⁺ will receive back from the Lord the reward of the inheritance. You⁺ serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians 3:25	For the one doing wrong will receive what he has done wrong, and there is no partiality.
Colossians 4:1	Masters, provide to [your] slaves that which [is] right and that which [is] equal, knowing that you⁺ also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians 4:2	Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching in it in thanksgiving,
Colossians 4:3	praying at the same time also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to speak the mystery of Christ, on account of which also I have been bound,
Colossians 4:4	so that I may make it clear, as it is necessary for me to speak.
Colossians 4:5	Walk in wisdom toward those outside, redeeming the time.
Colossians 4:6	Let your⁺ word [be] always in grace, having been seasoned with salt, to know how it is necessary for you⁺ to answer each one.
Colossians 4:7	All the things concerning me, Tychicus will make known to you⁺—the beloved brother and faithful servant and fellow servant in the Lord,
Colossians 4:8	whom I sent to you⁺ for this, that you⁺ may know the things concerning us, and he may encourage your⁺ hearts,
Colossians 4:9	with Onesimus, the faithful and beloved brother, who is of you⁺. They will make known to you⁺ all things here.
Colossians 4:10	Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you⁺, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas, concerning whom you⁺ received commands—if he shall come to you⁺, welcome him—
Colossians 4:11	and also Jesus who [is] called Justus, these being the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God of the circumcision, who became a comfort to me.
Colossians 4:12	Epaphras greets you⁺, who [is] of you⁺, a servant of Christ Jesus, always striving for you⁺ in the prayers, so that you⁺ may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God.
Colossians 4:13	For I testify for him that he has much distress for you⁺ and those in Laodicea and those in Hierapolis.
Colossians 4:14	Luke, the beloved physician, greets you⁺, and Demas.
Colossians 4:15	Greet the brothers in Laodicea, and Nympha and the church in her house.
Colossians 4:16	And when the letter may be read among you⁺, cause that it may be read also in the church of the Laodiceans, and that you⁺ also may read the one from Laodicea.
Colossians 4:17	And say to Archippus: “See [to] the ministry that you received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it.”
Colossians 4:18	The greeting [is] in my hand—Paul. Remember my chains. Grace [be] with you⁺.
1 Thessalonians 1:1	Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you⁺ and peace.
1 Thessalonians 1:2	We give thanks to God always concerning all of you⁺, making mention in our prayers,
1 Thessalonians 1:3	unceasingly remembering before our God and Father your⁺ work of faith and labor of love, and the endurance of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 1:4	knowing, brothers beloved by God, your⁺ election,
1 Thessalonians 1:5	because our gospel came to you⁺ not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much full assurance, just as you⁺ know what we were among you⁺ on account of you⁺.
1 Thessalonians 1:6	And you⁺ became imitators of us and of the Lord, having accepted the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
1 Thessalonians 1:7	so as for you⁺ to become a pattern to all the believing ones in Macedonia and in Achaia.
1 Thessalonians 1:8	For from you⁺ the word of the Lord has sounded forth not only in Macedonia and in Achaia, but in every place your⁺ faith toward God has gone out, so as for us to have no need to say anything.
1 Thessalonians 1:9	For they themselves report concerning us what kind of entrance we had to you⁺, and how you⁺ turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God,
1 Thessalonians 1:10	and to await His Son from the heavens, whom He raised out from the dead—Jesus, the One delivering us from the coming wrath.
1 Thessalonians 2:1	For you yourselves know, brothers, that our entrance to you⁺ has not been in vain.
1 Thessalonians 2:2	But having previously suffered and having been mistreated (just as you⁺ know) in Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak to you⁺ the gospel of God in much struggle.
1 Thessalonians 2:3	For our exhortation [was] not out of deceit, nor out of impurity, nor in trickery;
1 Thessalonians 2:4	but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, the One proving our hearts.
1 Thessalonians 2:5	For neither at any time were we with a word of flattery, just as you⁺ know, nor with a pretext for greed—God [is] witness—
1 Thessalonians 2:6	nor seeking glory from men, nor from you⁺, nor from others, [though] having power to be with authority as apostles of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 2:7	But we were gentle in your⁺ midst, as a nursing mother should cherish her own children.
1 Thessalonians 2:8	So yearning over you⁺, we were well pleased to have imparted to you⁺ not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, because you⁺ have become beloved to us.
1 Thessalonians 2:9	For you⁺ remember, brothers, our labor and toil: Working night and day in order not to be burdensome upon any of you⁺, we proclaimed to you⁺ the gospel of God.
1 Thessalonians 2:10	You⁺ [are] witnesses, and God, how devoutly and righteously and blamelessly we behaved toward you⁺, those believing,
1 Thessalonians 2:11	just as you⁺ know how, each one of you⁺, as a father his own children,
1 Thessalonians 2:12	[we] were exhorting and comforting you⁺ and charging unto you⁺ to walk worthily of God, the One calling you⁺ into His own kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians 2:13	And because of this, we also give thanks to God unceasingly that, having received the word of God, hearing from us, you⁺ accepted, not the word of men, but just as truly it is, the word of God, which also works in you⁺, those believing.
1 Thessalonians 2:14	For you⁺ became imitators, brothers, of the churches of God being in Judea in Christ Jesus, because you⁺ also suffered the same [things] from [your] own countrymen as they also [did] from the Jews,
1 Thessalonians 2:15	who, having killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and having driven us out; and [they are] not pleasing God and contrary to all men,
1 Thessalonians 2:16	forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles so that they might be saved, so as to fill up their sins always. Now the wrath has come upon them to the end.
1 Thessalonians 2:17	But we, brothers, having been bereaved of you⁺ for the time of an hour—in face, not in heart—were more abundantly eager with much desire to see your⁺ face.
1 Thessalonians 2:18	Therefore we wanted to come to you⁺—indeed I, Paul, both once and twice—and Satan obstructed us.
1 Thessalonians 2:19	For who [is] our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Or [are] not even you⁺, before our Lord Jesus at His coming?
1 Thessalonians 2:20	For you⁺ are our glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians 3:1	Therefore, bearing [it] no longer, we thought it good to be left in Athens alone,
1 Thessalonians 3:2	and we sent Timothy, our brother and fellow worker of God in the gospel of Christ, in order to strengthen and to encourage you⁺ on behalf of your⁺ faith,
1 Thessalonians 3:3	that no one be disturbed in these tribulations. For you⁺ yourselves know that we are destined for this.
1 Thessalonians 3:4	For even when we were with you⁺, we were saying beforehand to you⁺ that we are about to suffer tribulation, just as also it came to pass, and you⁺ know.
1 Thessalonians 3:5	Because of this I also, bearing [it] no longer, sent in order to know your⁺ faith, lest somehow the one tempting had tempted you⁺, and our labor might be in vain.
1 Thessalonians 3:6	But presently, Timothy having come to us from you⁺ and having brought good news to us of your⁺ faith and love, and that you⁺ have a good remembrance of us always, longing to see us just as also we you⁺,
1 Thessalonians 3:7	because of this, brothers, we were encouraged over you⁺ in all our hardship and tribulation, because of your⁺ faith.
1 Thessalonians 3:8	For now we live, if you⁺ are standing firm in the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 3:9	For what thanksgiving are we able to recompense to God concerning you⁺ over all the joy with which we rejoice before our God because of you⁺,
1 Thessalonians 3:10	night and day imploring exceedingly in order to see your⁺ face and to complete the things lacking of your⁺ faith?
1 Thessalonians 3:11	Now may our God and Father Himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you⁺.
1 Thessalonians 3:12	And may the Lord cause you⁺ to increase and to abound in love for one another and for all, just as also we for you⁺,
1 Thessalonians 3:13	in order to strengthen your⁺ hearts, blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints. Amen.
1 Thessalonians 4:1	Finally then, brothers, we ask and exhort you⁺ in the Lord Jesus that, just as you⁺ received from us how it is necessary for you⁺ to walk and to please God, just as also you⁺ walk, that you⁺ may abound more.
1 Thessalonians 4:2	For you⁺ know what instructions we gave you⁺ through the Lord Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 4:3	For this is the will of God—your⁺ sanctification: [for] you⁺ to abstain from sexual immorality;
1 Thessalonians 4:4	[for] each of you⁺ to know [how] to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
1 Thessalonians 4:5	not in the passion of lust just as also the Gentiles, those not knowing God;
1 Thessalonians 4:6	not to go beyond and to take advantage of his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] avenging concerning all these things, just as also we said before to you⁺ and earnestly testified.
1 Thessalonians 4:7	For God did not call us to impurity, but in sanctification.
1 Thessalonians 4:8	So then, the one setting [this] aside does not set aside man but God, the One also giving His Holy Spirit to you⁺.
1 Thessalonians 4:9	Now concerning brotherly love, you⁺ have no need [for one] to write to you⁺, for you⁺ yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
1 Thessalonians 4:10	For also you⁺ are doing this to all the brothers, the ones in all Macedonia. But we exhort you⁺, brothers, to abound more,
1 Thessalonians 4:11	and to strive earnestly to live quietly and to do your own [things], and to work with your⁺ own hands, just as we commanded you⁺,
1 Thessalonians 4:12	so that you⁺ may walk properly toward those outside and may have need of no one.
1 Thessalonians 4:13	But we do not want you⁺ to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those having fallen asleep, so that you⁺ should not be grieved, just as also the rest, those having no hope.
1 Thessalonians 4:14	For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also through Jesus God will bring with Him those having fallen asleep.
1 Thessalonians 4:15	For this we say to you⁺ in the word of the Lord, that we the living, remaining unto the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those having fallen asleep,
1 Thessalonians 4:16	because the Lord Himself with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:17	Then we, the living remaining, will be caught up together with them in the clouds for the meeting of the Lord in the air; and so we will be always with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:18	Therefore encourage one another in these words.
1 Thessalonians 5:1	Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you⁺ have no need to be written to you⁺.
1 Thessalonians 5:2	For you⁺ yourselves thoroughly know that the day of the Lord comes in this way, as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5:3	When they may say, “Peace and security,” then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as the labor pains to her having in womb; and they shall not escape.
1 Thessalonians 5:4	But you⁺, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you⁺ like a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5:5	For you⁺ are all sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night and not of darkness.
1 Thessalonians 5:6	So then, we should not sleep as the rest, but we should watch and we should be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5:7	For those sleeping, sleep by night; and those becoming drunk, get drunk by night.
1 Thessalonians 5:8	But we, being of the day, should be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet—the hope of salvation,
1 Thessalonians 5:9	because God did not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 5:10	the One having died for us, so that whether we may watch or we may sleep, we may live together with Him.
1 Thessalonians 5:11	Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as also you⁺ are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5:12	But we ask you⁺, brothers, to know those toiling among you⁺ and presiding over you⁺ in the Lord and admonishing you⁺,
1 Thessalonians 5:13	and to esteem them exceedingly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5:14	And we exhort you⁺, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
1 Thessalonians 5:15	See that no one shall repay to anyone evil for evil, but always pursue the good also to one another and to all.
1 Thessalonians 5:16	Always rejoice.
1 Thessalonians 5:17	Unceasingly pray.
1 Thessalonians 5:18	In everything give thanks, for this [is] the will of God for you⁺ in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:19	Do not quench the Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:20	Do not despise prophecies,
1 Thessalonians 5:21	but test all things. Hold fast to the good.
1 Thessalonians 5:22	Abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5:23	Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you⁺ completely, and may your⁺ entire spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5:24	Faithful [is] the One calling you⁺, who also will do [it].
1 Thessalonians 5:25	Brothers, pray also for us.
1 Thessalonians 5:26	Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians 5:27	I adjure you⁺ [by] the Lord [for] the letter to be read to all the brothers.
1 Thessalonians 5:28	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you⁺.
2 Thessalonians 1:1	Paul and Silvanus and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians 1:2	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 1:3	We ought to thank God always concerning you⁺, brothers, just as it is worthy, because your⁺ faith is growing exceedingly, and the love of each one of you⁺ all to one another is increasing,
2 Thessalonians 1:4	so as for us ourselves to boast in you⁺ in the churches of God for your⁺ endurance and faith in all your⁺ persecutions and in the tribulations that you⁺ are bearing,
2 Thessalonians 1:5	a plain token of the righteous judgment of God, for you⁺ to be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you⁺ suffer.
2 Thessalonians 1:6	For indeed [it is] righteous with God to repay those oppressing you⁺ with tribulation,
2 Thessalonians 1:7	and to you⁺ being oppressed, relief with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with the angels of His power
2 Thessalonians 1:8	in a fire of flame, giving vengeance on those not knowing God and on those not obeying the gospel of our Lord Jesus,
2 Thessalonians 1:9	who will pay the penalty of eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,
2 Thessalonians 1:10	when He shall come to be glorified in His saints and to be marveled at among all those having believed—because our testimony to you⁺ was believed—in that day.
2 Thessalonians 1:11	For [this] also we pray always for you⁺, that our God may count you⁺ worthy of the calling and may fulfill every good pleasure of goodness and work of faith in power,
2 Thessalonians 1:12	so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you⁺, and you⁺ in Him, according to the grace of our God and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:1	Now we ask you⁺, brothers, on behalf of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our gathering together unto Him,
2 Thessalonians 2:2	for you⁺ not quickly to be shaken in mind, nor to be alarmed, neither through spirit nor through word, nor through letter as through us, as that the day of the Lord is present.
2 Thessalonians 2:3	Let no one deceive you⁺ in [any] way, because [it is] not unless the apostasy shall have come first, and the man of lawlessness shall have been revealed—the son of destruction,
2 Thessalonians 2:4	the one opposing and exalting himself above every so-called god or object of worship—so as for him to sit down in the temple of God, setting forth that he himself is God.
2 Thessalonians 2:5	Do you⁺ not remember that, being still with you⁺, I was saying these things to you⁺?
2 Thessalonians 2:6	And now you⁺ know what is restraining for him to be revealed in his own time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7	For the mystery of lawlessness is working already, only the one at present is restraining [it] until he might be out of the midst.
2 Thessalonians 2:8	And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will slay with the breath of His mouth and will annul by the appearing of His coming,
2 Thessalonians 2:9	whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in every power and in signs and in wonders of falsehood,
2 Thessalonians 2:10	and in every deception of wickedness to those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.
2 Thessalonians 2:11	And because of this, God sends to them a working of delusion for them to believe the lie,
2 Thessalonians 2:12	so that all those not having believed the truth but having been well pleased in unrighteousness should be judged.
2 Thessalonians 2:13	But we ought to give thanks to God always concerning you⁺, brothers beloved by the Lord, because God chose you⁺ from the beginning unto salvation in the sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth,
2 Thessalonians 2:14	to which also He called you⁺ through our gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians 2:15	So then, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you⁺ were taught, whether by word or by letter from us.
2 Thessalonians 2:16	Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, the One having loved us and having given [us] eternal comfort and good hope in grace,
2 Thessalonians 2:17	may He comfort your⁺ hearts, and may He strengthen [you] in every good work and word.
2 Thessalonians 3:1	Finally, brothers, pray for us that the word of the Lord may run and may be glorified, just as also with you⁺,
2 Thessalonians 3:2	and that we may be delivered from perverse and evil men; for the faith [is] not unto all.
2 Thessalonians 3:3	But faithful is the Lord, who will strengthen you⁺ and guard [you] from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:4	And we are persuaded in the Lord as to you⁺, that both you⁺ are doing and you⁺ will do what we command.
2 Thessalonians 3:5	And may the Lord direct your⁺ hearts into the love of God and into the perseverance of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:6	Now we command you⁺, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to withdraw yourselves from every brother walking in an unruly manner and not according to the tradition that you received from us.
2 Thessalonians 3:7	For you⁺ yourselves know how it is necessary to imitate us, because we were not unruly among you⁺,
2 Thessalonians 3:8	nor did we eat bread from anyone without payment, but in labor and toil, working night and day in order not to be burdensome upon any of you⁺,
2 Thessalonians 3:9	not that we do not have authority, but so that we might give ourselves [as] a pattern to you⁺ for you to imitate us.
2 Thessalonians 3:10	For even when we were with you⁺, we were commanding you⁺ this, that “if anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.”
2 Thessalonians 3:11	For we hear some are walking among you⁺ in an unruly manner, not working at all, but being busybodies.
2 Thessalonians 3:12	Now to such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that, working with quietness, they should eat their own bread.
2 Thessalonians 3:13	Now you⁺, brothers, should not grow weary [in] well-doing.
2 Thessalonians 3:14	And if anyone does not obey our word through the letter, take note of this one not to mix with him, so that he may be ashamed.
2 Thessalonians 3:15	And do not deem [him] as an enemy, but admonish [him] as a brother.
2 Thessalonians 3:16	Now may the Lord of peace Himself give to you⁺ peace through everything in every way. The Lord [be] with all of you⁺.
2 Thessalonians 3:17	The greeting [is] in my own hand—Paul, which is [my] sign in every letter. In this way I write.
2 Thessalonians 3:18	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all of you⁺.
1 Timothy 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
1 Timothy 1:2	To Timothy, [my] genuine child in the faith: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 Timothy 1:3	Just as I exhorted you to remain in Ephesus [in my] going to Macedonia, so that you might charge certain ones not to teach other doctrines
1 Timothy 1:4	nor to give heed to myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than the stewardship of God that [is] in faith.
1 Timothy 1:5	Now the goal of [our] charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith,
1 Timothy 1:6	from which certain ones, having missed the mark, turned aside to empty talk,
1 Timothy 1:7	wanting to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor [that] about which they confidently assert.
1 Timothy 1:8	Now we know that the law [is] good, if one uses it lawfully,
1 Timothy 1:9	knowing this, that law is not laid for a righteous one, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for slayers of man,
1 Timothy 1:10	for the sexually immoral, homosexuals, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and if anything other is opposed to being sound in the teaching,
1 Timothy 1:11	according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, with which I was entrusted.
1 Timothy 1:12	I have gratitude to the One having empowered me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He esteemed me faithful, having put [me] to service,
1 Timothy 1:13	formerly being a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because, being ignorant, I did [it] in unbelief.
1 Timothy 1:14	And the grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded with the faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 1:15	Trustworthy [is] the word, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost.
1 Timothy 1:16	But because of this I was shown mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Christ Jesus might display all patience, as a pattern for those being about to believe on Him unto eternal life.
1 Timothy 1:17	Now to the King of the ages, the immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory to the ages of the ages! Amen.
1 Timothy 1:18	I commit to you this charge, Timothy [my] child, according to the prophecies upon you going before, so that by them you may wage the good warfare,
1 Timothy 1:19	having faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away, made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
1 Timothy 1:20	of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I handed over to Satan so that they should be disciplined not to blaspheme.
1 Timothy 2:1	I exhort, therefore, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, [and] thanksgivings to be made for all men,
1 Timothy 2:2	for kings and all those being in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.
1 Timothy 2:3	This [is] good and acceptable before God our Savior,
1 Timothy 2:4	who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:5	For [there is] one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1 Timothy 2:6	the One having given Himself [as] a ransom for all, the testimony in their own proper times,
1 Timothy 2:7	in regard to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I speak the truth; I do not lie—a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.
1 Timothy 2:8	Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.
1 Timothy 2:9	Likewise also women [are] to adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and sound-mindedness, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,
1 Timothy 2:10	but with what is proper to women professing the fear of God through good works.
1 Timothy 2:11	Let a woman learn in quietness, in all submission.
1 Timothy 2:12	But I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to use authority over a man, but to be in quietness.
1 Timothy 2:13	For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
1 Timothy 2:14	And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, has come into transgression.
1 Timothy 2:15	But she will be saved through childbearing, if they remain in faith and love and holiness, with sound-mindedness.
1 Timothy 3:1	Trustworthy [is] the word: If anyone aspires to overseership, he is desirous of a good work.
1 Timothy 3:2	Therefore it is necessary for the overseer to be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober, sound-minded, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
1 Timothy 3:3	not given to wine, not a striker but gentle, not quarrelsome, not loving money,
1 Timothy 3:4	presiding over [his] own house well, having children in submission, with all dignity—
1 Timothy 3:5	but if anyone does not know [how] to preside over [his] own household, how will he take care of the church of God?—
1 Timothy 3:6	not a novice, lest, having been puffed up, he might fall into the judgment of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:7	And it is necessary [for him] also to have a good testimony from those outside, so that he might not fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1 Timothy 3:8	Deacons likewise [must be] dignified, not double-tongued, not being given to much wine, not greedy for shameful gain,
1 Timothy 3:9	holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.
1 Timothy 3:10	And these also, let them be tested first; then let them serve, being blameless.
1 Timothy 3:11	Women likewise [must be] dignified, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy 3:12	Let deacons be husbands of one wife, presiding over [their] children and [their] own households well.
1 Timothy 3:13	For those having served well acquire a good standing for themselves and great confidence in the faith that [is] in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 3:14	I write these things to you, hoping to come to you in quickness,
1 Timothy 3:15	but if I should delay, so that you may know how it is necessary to conduct oneself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.
1 Timothy 3:16	And confessedly, great is the mystery of godliness: [He] who appeared in flesh, was justified in the Spirit, was seen by angels, was proclaimed among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
1 Timothy 4:1	But the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and teachings of demons,
1 Timothy 4:2	in the hypocrisy of liars, having been seared in [their] own conscience,
1 Timothy 4:3	forbidding to marry, [requiring] to abstain from foods that God created for reception with thanksgiving by the faithful and [by] [those] knowing the truth.
1 Timothy 4:4	For every creature of God [is] good, and nothing [is] to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving,
1 Timothy 4:5	for it is sanctified by the word of God and intercession.
1 Timothy 4:6	Laying before the brothers these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, being nourished in the words of the faith and of the good teaching that you have closely followed.
1 Timothy 4:7	But reject profane and silly myths. Rather, train yourself unto godliness.
1 Timothy 4:8	For bodily exercise is to a little profit, but godliness is profitable for everything, having the promise of the present life and of the one about to be.
1 Timothy 4:9	Trustworthy [is] the word, and worthy of full acceptance.
1 Timothy 4:10	For unto this we toil and strive, because we have hoped on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.
1 Timothy 4:11	Command and teach these things.
1 Timothy 4:12	Let no one despise your youth, but be a pattern for the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:13	Until I come, give heed to the reading, to exhortation, to teaching.
1 Timothy 4:14	Do not be negligent of the gift in you, which was given to you through prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elderhood.
1 Timothy 4:15	Ponder these things; be in them, so that your advancement may be apparent to all.
1 Timothy 4:16	Give heed to yourself and to the teaching. Continue in them; for doing this, you will save both yourself and those hearing you.
1 Timothy 5:1	Do not rebuke an older [man], but exhort [him] as a father; younger [men] as brothers;
1 Timothy 5:2	older [women] as mothers; younger [women] as sisters, in all purity.
1 Timothy 5:3	Honor widows who [are] truly widows.
1 Timothy 5:4	But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them learn to be devout first to [their] own household and to give back recompense to parents, for this is acceptable before God.
1 Timothy 5:5	Now she who [is] truly a widow and having been left alone has hoped on God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
1 Timothy 5:6	But she given to luxury has died [while] living.
1 Timothy 5:7	Also command these things, so that they may be above reproach.
1 Timothy 5:8	But if anyone does not provide for [his] own, and especially [his] household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
1 Timothy 5:9	Let a widow be enrolled, being not less than sixty years [old], the wife of one man,
1 Timothy 5:10	being testified to in good works: if she brought up children, if she entertained strangers, if she washed the feet of the saints, if she gave relief [to] [those] being oppressed, if she followed after every good work.
1 Timothy 5:11	But refuse younger widows; for when they might grow wanton against Christ, they want to marry,
1 Timothy 5:12	having judgment because they set aside the first faith.
1 Timothy 5:13	And at the same time also they learn [to be] idle, going around the houses, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, speaking things not being proper.
1 Timothy 5:14	Therefore I intend [for] younger ones to marry, to bear children, to manage their households, to give the one opposing no occasion in favor of reviling.
1 Timothy 5:15	For already some turned aside after Satan.
1 Timothy 5:16	If any believing [woman] has widows, let her give relief to them, and let the church not be burdened, so that it may give relief to those truly widows.
1 Timothy 5:17	Let the elders presiding well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those laboring in the word and the teaching.
1 Timothy 5:18	For the Scripture says, “You shall not muzzle an ox treading out grain,” and, “The worker [is] worthy of his wages.”
1 Timothy 5:19	Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except upon two or three witnesses.
1 Timothy 5:20	But those sinning, rebuke before all, so that the rest may have fear also.
1 Timothy 5:21	I earnestly testify before God and Christ Jesus and the chosen angels that you should keep these things without prejudice, doing nothing according to partiality.
1 Timothy 5:22	Lay hands on no one quickly, nor share in the sins of others; keep yourself pure.
1 Timothy 5:23	No longer drink water, but use a little wine, because of the stomach and your frequent ailments.
1 Timothy 5:24	The sins of some men are evident, going before [them] to judgment; but some also they follow after.
1 Timothy 5:25	Likewise also, the good works [are] evident, and even those being otherwise [are] not able to be hidden.
1 Timothy 6:1	As many as are under a yoke [as] slaves, let them esteem [their] own masters worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be blasphemed.
1 Timothy 6:2	Now those having believing masters, let them not despise [them] because they are brothers; but rather, let them serve, because those being helped by the good work are believing and beloved. Teach and exhort these things.
1 Timothy 6:3	If anyone teaches another doctrine and does not draw near, being sound in the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching according to godliness,
1 Timothy 6:4	he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but diseased about controversies and fights about words, out of which come envy, strife, slander, evil suspicions,
1 Timothy 6:5	[and] constant arguing of men thoroughly corrupted in mind and deprived of the truth, supposing godliness to be a means of gain.
1 Timothy 6:6	But godliness with contentment is a means of great gain.
1 Timothy 6:7	For we brought nothing into the world, because neither are we able to bring out anything.
1 Timothy 6:8	But having sustenance and coverings, with these we will be content.
1 Timothy 6:9	But those wishing to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into ruin and destruction.
1 Timothy 6:10	For the love of money is a root of all evils, which some, stretching after, were led astray away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.
1 Timothy 6:11	But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, [and] gentleness.
1 Timothy 6:12	Fight the good fight of the faith. Lay hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you confessed the good confession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy 6:13	I charge you before God, the One giving life to all things, and Christ Jesus, the One having testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate,
1 Timothy 6:14	[for] you to keep the commandment, without stain, above reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Timothy 6:15	which He will show in [His] own times, the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of those being kings and the Lord of those being lords,
1 Timothy 6:16	the One alone having immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no one of men has seen nor is able to see, to whom [be] honor and eternal dominion! Amen.
1 Timothy 6:17	Charge the rich in the present age not to be high-minded, nor to have hoped on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, the One richly providing us all things for enjoyment;
1 Timothy 6:18	to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous in distributing, ready to share,
1 Timothy 6:19	treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for that which [is] about to be, so that they may lay hold of that which [is] truly life.
1 Timothy 6:20	O Timothy, guard the deposit entrusted, avoiding profane, empty utterances, and opposing arguments of that which [is] falsely named “knowledge,”
1 Timothy 6:21	which some, professing, missed the mark concerning the faith. Grace [be] with you⁺ all.
2 Timothy 1:1	Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, according to the promise of life that [is] in Christ Jesus,
2 Timothy 1:2	To Timothy, [my] beloved child: Grace, mercy, [and] peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy 1:3	I have gratitude to God, whom I serve from the forefathers with a pure conscience, as I have unceasing remembrance of you in my prayers night and day,
2 Timothy 1:4	longing to see you, recalling your tears, so that I may be filled with joy,
2 Timothy 1:5	having taken remembrance of the unfeigned faith in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded that [it is] in you also.
2 Timothy 1:6	Because of this reason, I remind you to rekindle the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
2 Timothy 1:7	For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and soundness of mind.
2 Timothy 1:8	Therefore you should not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, His prisoner; but suffer together for the gospel according to the power of God,
2 Timothy 1:9	the One having saved us and having called [us] with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace, having been given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,
2 Timothy 1:10	and now having been made manifest through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, having indeed abolished death and having brought to light life and immortality through the gospel,
2 Timothy 1:11	to which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle and a teacher.
2 Timothy 1:12	Because of this reason I also suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit entrusted for that day.
2 Timothy 1:13	Hold the pattern of sound words, which you heard from me, in the faith and love that [are] in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 1:14	Guard the good deposit entrusted by the Holy Spirit, the One dwelling in us.
2 Timothy 1:15	You know this, that all those in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy 1:16	May the Lord give mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he refreshed me often, and he was not ashamed of my chain.
2 Timothy 1:17	But being in Rome, he earnestly sought me and found [me].
2 Timothy 1:18	May the Lord give to him to find mercy from the Lord in that day! And you know very well how much he served in Ephesus.
2 Timothy 2:1	You, therefore, my child, be empowered in the grace that [is] in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:2	And the things that you heard from me through many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men such as will be sufficient to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:3	Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:4	No one serving as a soldier entangles himself in the affairs of life, so that he might please the one having enlisted him.
2 Timothy 2:5	Now also, if anyone competes, he is not crowned unless he shall have competed lawfully.
2 Timothy 2:6	It is necessary for the toiling farmer first to partake of the fruits.
2 Timothy 2:7	Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in all things.
2 Timothy 2:8	Remember Jesus Christ, having been raised out from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel,
2 Timothy 2:9	in which I suffer hardship even to chains as an evildoer. But the word of God has not been bound!
2 Timothy 2:10	Because of this, I endure all things because of the chosen ones, so that they also may obtain the salvation that [is] in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.
2 Timothy 2:11	Trustworthy [is] the word: For if we died together [with Him], we will also live together [with Him];
2 Timothy 2:12	if we endure, we will also reign together [with Him]; if we will deny [Him], He also will deny us;
2 Timothy 2:13	if we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He is not able to deny Himself.
2 Timothy 2:14	Remind [them] these things, earnestly testifying before God not to fight about words, useful for nothing [but] to the subversion of those hearing.
2 Timothy 2:15	Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a workman unashamed, straightly cutting the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:16	But avoid profane, empty utterances, for they will advance to more ungodliness,
2 Timothy 2:17	and their word will have pasture like gangrene, of whom are Hymenaeus and Philetus,
2 Timothy 2:18	who missed the mark concerning the truth, saying the resurrection already to have happened; and they are overturning the faith of some.
2 Timothy 2:19	Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God has stood, having this seal: “The Lord knows those being His,” and, “Let everyone naming the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.”
2 Timothy 2:20	Now in a great house there are not only golden and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some indeed for honor, but some for dishonor.
2 Timothy 2:21	Therefore if anyone shall have cleansed himself from these, he will be a vessel for honor, having been sanctified, useful to the Master, having been prepared for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:22	Now flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, [and] peace, along with those calling on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy 2:23	And refuse foolish and ignorant controversies, knowing that they beget quarrels.
2 Timothy 2:24	And it is necessary for a servant of the Lord not to quarrel, but to be kind toward all, able to teach, forbearing,
2 Timothy 2:25	in gentleness disciplining those opposing, lest ever God may give them repentance unto a knowledge of the truth,
2 Timothy 2:26	and they might come to their senses out of the snare of the devil, having been captured by him unto his will.
2 Timothy 3:1	But know this, that in the last days difficult times will be present.
2 Timothy 3:2	For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boasters, proud, verbally abusive, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
2 Timothy 3:3	unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without control, savage, without love of good,
2 Timothy 3:4	betrayers, reckless, having been puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2 Timothy 3:5	having a form of godliness but having denied its power. And turn away from these.
2 Timothy 3:6	For out of these are those slipping into households and taking captive weak women, heaped up with sins, being led by various passions,
2 Timothy 3:7	always learning and never being able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy 3:8	Now by which way Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these oppose the truth, men having been corrupted in mind, disqualified concerning the faith.
2 Timothy 3:9	But they will not advance much further, for their folly will be evident to all, as also that of those [two] became.
2 Timothy 3:10	But you have closely followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance,
2 Timothy 3:11	persecutions, sufferings, such as happened to me in Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what manner of persecutions I bore up under! And the Lord delivered me out of all.
2 Timothy 3:12	And all those also wanting to live godlily in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
2 Timothy 3:13	But evil men and imposters will advance to the worse, deceiving and being deceived.
2 Timothy 3:14	But you, abide in the things you learned and were convinced of, having known from whom you learned,
2 Timothy 3:15	and that from infancy you have known the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:16	Every Scripture [is] God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, [and] for training in righteousness,
2 Timothy 3:17	so that the man of God may be complete, having been completely equipped toward every good work.
2 Timothy 4:1	I earnestly testify before God and Christ Jesus, the One being about to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom:
2 Timothy 4:2	Preach the word; be ready in season [and] out of season; convict, rebuke, exhort, in all patience and teaching.
2 Timothy 4:3	For there will be a season when they will not bear with sound teaching, but according to [their] own passions, having an itching ear, they will heap up teachers to themselves,
2 Timothy 4:4	and indeed they will turn away from hearing the truth, and they will be turned aside to myths.
2 Timothy 4:5	But you, be sober in all things, suffer hardships, do the work of an evangelist, fully carry out your ministry.
2 Timothy 4:6	For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
2 Timothy 4:7	I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:8	From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me in that day; but not only to me, but also to all those loving His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:9	Be diligent to come to me quickly,
2 Timothy 4:10	for Demas deserted me, having loved the present age, and he went to Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, [and] Titus to Dalmatia.
2 Timothy 4:11	Luke alone is with me. Having taken Mark, bring [him] with you, for he is useful to me for the ministry.
2 Timothy 4:12	But I sent Tychicus to Ephesus.
2 Timothy 4:13	[Upon] coming, bring the cloak that I left in Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.
2 Timothy 4:14	Alexander the coppersmith did much harm to me. The Lord will repay to him according to his works,
2 Timothy 4:15	of whom you also beware, for exceedingly he opposed our word.
2 Timothy 4:16	In my first defense, no one came beside me, but all deserted me. May it not be reckoned to them!
2 Timothy 4:17	But the Lord stood by me and empowered me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully carried out, and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
2 Timothy 4:18	The Lord will deliver me from every evil work and will bring [me] safely into His heavenly kingdom, to whom [is] the glory unto the ages of the ages. Amen.
2 Timothy 4:19	Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus.
2 Timothy 4:20	Erastus remained in Corinth, but Trophimus I left being sick in Miletus.
2 Timothy 4:21	Be diligent to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brothers.
2 Timothy 4:22	The Lord [be] with your spirit. Grace [be] with you⁺ all.
Titus 1:1	Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of the chosen of God and the knowledge of the truth that [is] according to godliness,
Titus 1:2	upon the hope of eternal life, which God, who [is] without falsehood, promised before times eternal
Titus 1:3	and revealed [in] His own seasons in His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the command of God our Savior.
Titus 1:4	To Titus, [my] genuine child according to a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.
Titus 1:5	For the sake of this I left you in Crete, that you might set in order the things lacking and might appoint elders in every city, as I directed you,
Titus 1:6	if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not under accusation of debauchery, or insubordinate.
Titus 1:7	For it is necessary for the overseer to be blameless, as God’s steward—not self-pleasing, not prone to anger, not given to wine, not a striker, not greedy for shameful gain,
Titus 1:8	but hospitable, a lover of good, sound-minded, righteous, holy, [and] self-controlled,
Titus 1:9	holding to the faithful word according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in sound teaching and to convict those contradicting [it].
Titus 1:10	For there are also many insubordinate ones, empty talkers, and mind-deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
Titus 1:11	whom it is necessary to silence, who overturn whole households, teaching things [that] it is necessary not [to teach], for the sake of shameful gain.
Titus 1:12	One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
Titus 1:13	This testimony is true, through which cause you are to rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith,
Titus 1:14	not giving heed to Jewish myths and commandments of men turning away from the truth.
Titus 1:15	All things [are] pure to the pure; but to those being defiled and unbelieving, nothing [is] pure. But both their mind and conscience are defiled.
Titus 1:16	They profess to know God, but in works they deny [Him], being abominable and disobedient and unfit for any good work.
Titus 2:1	But you, speak the things that are fitting for sound teaching.
Titus 2:2	Older [men] are to be sober-minded, dignified, sound-minded, being sound in faith, in love, in endurance;
Titus 2:3	older [women] likewise reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not being enslaved to much wine, teachers of good,
Titus 2:4	so that they may make sober-minded the young [women] to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,
Titus 2:5	sound-minded, pure, keepers at home, good, being subject to [their] own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed.
Titus 2:6	Likewise, exhort the younger [men] to be sound-minded.
Titus 2:7	Concerning all things, be holding forth yourself [as] a pattern of good works, in the teaching, incorruptibility, dignity,
Titus 2:8	sound speech, uncondemnable, so that the one of the contrary should be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning us.
Titus 2:9	Slaves are to be subject to [their] own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not contradicting,
Titus 2:10	not pilfering, but demonstrating all good faithfulness, so that they may adorn the teaching of God our Savior in all things.
Titus 2:11	For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
Titus 2:12	instructing us that having denied ungodliness and worldly passions, we should live sound-mindedly and righteously and godlily in the present age,
Titus 2:13	awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
Titus 2:14	who gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all lawlessness and might purify to Himself a people specially His, zealous for good works.
Titus 2:15	Speak these things and exhort and convict with all authority. Let no one despise you.
Titus 3:1	Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to obey rulers, to be ready for every good work,
Titus 3:2	to speak evil of no one, to be not quarrelsome, gentle, showing all meekness toward all men.
Titus 3:3	For we were also once foolish, disobedient, being deceived, being in slavery to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.
Titus 3:4	But when the kindness and the love of mankind of God our Savior appeared,
Titus 3:5	not by works in righteousness that we did, but according to His mercy, He saved us through the washing of regeneration and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:6	whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Titus 3:7	so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus 3:8	Trustworthy [is] the word, and I want you to affirm strongly concerning these things, so that those having believed God may take thought to devote themselves to good works. These things are good and profitable to men.
Titus 3:9	But avoid foolish controversies and genealogies and contentions and quarrels about the law; for they are unprofitable and futile.
Titus 3:10	Reject a divisive man after one and a second admonition,
Titus 3:11	knowing that such a man is warped and is sinning, being self-condemned.
Titus 3:12	When I shall send Artemas or Tychicus to you, be diligent to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to winter there.
Titus 3:13	Diligently send forth Zenas the lawyer and Apollos, so that nothing may be lacking to them.
Titus 3:14	And also let our [people] learn to devote themselves to good works for necessary needs, so that they may not be unfruitful.
Titus 3:15	All those with me greet you. Greet those loving us in the faith. Grace [be] with all of you⁺.
Philemon 1:1	Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy the brother, To Philemon, our beloved and fellow worker,
Philemon 1:2	and to Apphia the sister, and to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church at your house:
Philemon 1:3	Grace to you⁺ and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon 1:4	I thank my God always, making remembrance of you in my prayers,
Philemon 1:5	hearing of your love and the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints,
Philemon 1:6	so that the fellowship of your faith might become effective in the full knowledge of every good [thing] that [is] in us in Christ.
Philemon 1:7	For I have much joy and encouragement on the basis of your love, because the inner parts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother.
Philemon 1:8	Therefore, having much boldness in Christ to order you [to do] what [is] fitting,
Philemon 1:9	because of love, rather, I exhort [you], being such a one as Paul, now an elderly man and also a prisoner of Christ Jesus.
Philemon 1:10	I exhort you concerning my child whom I begot in chains, Onesimus,
Philemon 1:11	the one once useless to you, but now useful both to you and to me,
Philemon 1:12	whom I sent back to you himself—this [one who] is my inner parts—
Philemon 1:13	whom I was wishing to keep with myself, so that on behalf of you he might minister to me in the chains of the gospel.
Philemon 1:14	But apart from your consent I wanted to do nothing, so that your good may be not as according to necessity, but according to willingness.
Philemon 1:15	For perhaps because of this he was separated for an hour, so that you might have him back eternally,
Philemon 1:16	no longer as a slave, but above a slave, a beloved brother—especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.
Philemon 1:17	Therefore, if you hold me a partner, receive him as me.
Philemon 1:18	But if in any way he wronged you or he owes [you], impute this to me.
Philemon 1:19	I, Paul, wrote with my own hand. I will repay [it], that I may not say to you that you also owe to me even yourself.
Philemon 1:20	Yes, brother, may I have profit from you in the Lord. Refresh my inner parts in Christ.
Philemon 1:21	Being persuaded of your obedience, I wrote to you, knowing that you will do even above what I say.
Philemon 1:22	Now at the same time, also prepare a lodging for me; for I hope that through your⁺ prayers I will be graciously given to you⁺.
Philemon 1:23	Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, greets you,
Philemon 1:24	[as do] Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, [and] Luke, my fellow workers.
Philemon 1:25	The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with your⁺ spirit.
Hebrews 1:1	God, having spoken long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,
Hebrews 1:2	in these last days spoke to us in [His] Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the ages,
Hebrews 1:3	who, being the radiance of [His] glory and the exact imprint of His substance and bearing all things by the word of power—through His having made purification of sins—sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Hebrews 1:4	having become so much better than the angels, as much as He has inherited a name more excellent beyond theirs.
Hebrews 1:5	For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son; today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him for a Father, and He will be to Me for a Son”?
Hebrews 1:6	And again, when He brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “And let all angels of God worship Him.”
Hebrews 1:7	And indeed to the angels He says: “The One making His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire.”
Hebrews 1:8	But to the Son: “Your throne, O God, [is] to the age of the age, and the scepter of uprightness [is] the scepter of Your kingdom.
Hebrews 1:9	You loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, Your God, anointed You with the oil of exultation beyond Your companions.”
Hebrews 1:10	And: “You, in the beginning, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are works of Your hands.
Hebrews 1:11	They will perish, but You remain; and all will grow old like a garment;
Hebrews 1:12	and like a robe You will roll them up, and like a garment they will be changed; but You are the same, and Your years will not come to an end.”
Hebrews 1:13	Now to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand until I shall place Your enemies [as] a footstool for Your feet”?
Hebrews 1:14	Are they not all ministering spirits being sent forth for service for the sake of those being about to inherit salvation?
Hebrews 2:1	Because of this, it is necessary for us to give heed more abundantly to the things having been heard, lest ever we should drift away.
Hebrews 2:2	For if the word having been spoken by angels was firm, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense,
Hebrews 2:3	how will we escape, having neglected such a great salvation, which, having received a beginning to be spoken by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those having heard,
Hebrews 2:4	God testifying with [them] both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles, and distributions of the Holy Spirit according to His will.
Hebrews 2:5	For not to angels did He subject the world that is about to be, concerning which we are speaking,
Hebrews 2:6	but someone somewhere solemnly testified, saying, “What is man that You are mindful of him, or the son of man that You care for him?
Hebrews 2:7	You made him a little less than the angels; You crowned him with glory and honor;
Hebrews 2:8	You subjected all things under his feet.” For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing unsubject to him. But now, not yet do we see all things having been subjected to him.
Hebrews 2:9	But we see Jesus, the One having been made a little less than the angels, because of the suffering of death, having been crowned with glory and with honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.
Hebrews 2:10	For it was fitting to Him, for whom [are] all things and through whom [are] all things, having brought many sons to glory, to make perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.
Hebrews 2:11	For both the One sanctifying and those being sanctified [are] all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brothers,
Hebrews 2:12	saying: “I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will sing Your praises.”
Hebrews 2:13	And again: “I will be trusting on Him.” And again: “Behold, I and the children whom God gave to Me.”
Hebrews 2:14	Therefore, since the children have shared in blood and flesh, He also likewise partook of the same things, so that through death He might render powerless the one having the power of death, that is, the devil,
Hebrews 2:15	and might set free those who all [their time] to live were subject to slavery through the fear of death.
Hebrews 2:16	For surely [it is] not the angels He lays hold of, but He lays hold of the seed of Abraham.
Hebrews 2:17	Hence it was necessary to be made like the brothers in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest [in] the things relating to God, in order to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 2:18	For in that He Himself has suffered, having been tempted, He is able to help those being tempted.
Hebrews 3:1	Hence, holy brothers, partakers of a heavenly calling, carefully consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession,
Hebrews 3:2	being faithful to the One having appointed Him, as Moses also in all His house.
Hebrews 3:3	For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by as much as the one having built it has more honor than the house [itself].
Hebrews 3:4	For every house is built by someone, but the One having built everything [is] God.
Hebrews 3:5	And indeed Moses [was] faithful as an attendant in all His house, for a testimony of the things going to be spoken,
Hebrews 3:6	but Christ as the Son over His house, whose house we are, if we should hold [our] confidence and the boast of [our] hope.
Hebrews 3:7	Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you⁺ should hear His voice,
Hebrews 3:8	do not harden your⁺ hearts, as in the rebellion, in the day of testing in the wilderness,
Hebrews 3:9	where forty years your⁺ fathers tested [Me] by trial and saw My works.
Hebrews 3:10	Therefore I was angry with this generation, and I said, ‘Always they go astray in their heart; and did not know My ways;’
Hebrews 3:11	as I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest.’”
Hebrews 3:12	See to it, brothers, lest ever there will be in any of you⁺ an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God.
Hebrews 3:13	But encourage one another each day, as long as it is called today, so that not any of you⁺ may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews 3:14	For we have become partakers of Christ, if indeed we should hold firm until the end the assurance [from] the beginning.
Hebrews 3:15	As it is said: “Today if you⁺ should hear His voice, do not harden your⁺ hearts, as in the rebellion.”
Hebrews 3:16	For who, having heard, rebelled? But [was it] not all those having come forth out of Egypt through Moses?
Hebrews 3:17	And with whom was He angry forty years, [if] not with those having sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews 3:18	And to whom did He swear that they will not enter into His rest, if not to those having disobeyed?
Hebrews 3:19	And we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief.
Hebrews 4:1	Therefore we should fear, lest ever, the promise to enter into His rest left remaining, any of you⁺ should seem to have fallen short.
Hebrews 4:2	For also we are [those] having had the gospel proclaimed, even as also those; but the word of [their] hearing did not profit those not having been united with the faith of those having heard.
Hebrews 4:3	For we enter into the rest—those having believed—just as He has said: “As I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter into My rest.’” And yet the works were done from the foundation of the world.
Hebrews 4:4	For He has spoken somewhere about the seventh [day] thus: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works.”
Hebrews 4:5	And again in this: “They shall not enter into My rest.”
Hebrews 4:6	Therefore, since it remains [for] some to enter into it, and those formerly having had the gospel proclaimed did not enter because of disobedience,
Hebrews 4:7	again He designates a certain day as “Today,” saying in David after so long a time, just as it has been said before, “Today, if you⁺ should hear His voice, do not harden your⁺ hearts.”
Hebrews 4:8	For if Joshua had given them rest, He would not have spoken after this about another day.
Hebrews 4:9	So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God.
Hebrews 4:10	For the one having entered into His rest, he also rested from his works, just as God [did] from His own.
Hebrews 4:11	Therefore we should be diligent to enter into that rest, so that no one should fall in the same exhibit of disobedience.
Hebrews 4:12	For the word of God [is] living and effective, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing through and as far as the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrows, and able to judge the reflections and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:13	And there is no created thing hidden before Him, but all things [are] bare and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom [is] our account.
Hebrews 4:14	Therefore, having a great high priest having passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to [our] confession.
Hebrews 4:15	For we do not have a high priest not being able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one having been tempted in all things by the same way, without sin.
Hebrews 4:16	Therefore let us come with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
Hebrews 5:1	For every high priest being taken from among men is appointed for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
Hebrews 5:2	being able to deal gently with those being ignorant and going astray, since he himself also is encompassed by weakness;
Hebrews 5:3	and because of this, he is obligated, just as concerning the people, to offer for sins so also concerning himself.
Hebrews 5:4	And no one takes upon himself the honor, but is being called by God, just as Aaron also.
Hebrews 5:5	So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but the One having said to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”
Hebrews 5:6	Just as that, He also says in another [place]: “You [are] a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 5:7	[He] in the days of His flesh having offered both supplications and entreaties with strong crying and tears to the One being able to save Him from death, and having been heard from reverence,
Hebrews 5:8	although being a Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered,
Hebrews 5:9	and having been perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation to all those obeying Him,
Hebrews 5:10	having been designated by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 5:11	Concerning this [there is] much speech from us, and difficult in interpretation to speak, since you⁺ have become dull in hearing.
Hebrews 5:12	For even by the time you ought to be teachers, you⁺ have need of one to teach you⁺ again what [is] the beginning of the elements of the oracles of God; and you⁺ have become [those] having need of milk, and not of solid food.
Hebrews 5:13	For everyone partaking of milk [is] inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
Hebrews 5:14	But solid food is for the mature, the ones by constant use having trained the senses for distinguishing both good and evil.
Hebrews 6:1	Therefore, having left the word of the beginning of the Christ, we should carry on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God,
Hebrews 6:2	teaching of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews 6:3	And this we will do, if God may permit.
Hebrews 6:4	For [it is] impossible for those once having been enlightened, and having tasted of the heavenly gift, and having become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
Hebrews 6:5	and having tasted the goodness of God’s word and the power [of] the coming age—
Hebrews 6:6	and then having fallen away—to restore [them] again to repentance, crucifying in themselves the Son of God and subjecting [Him] to open shame.
Hebrews 6:7	For land having drunk in the rain coming often upon it and producing vegetation useful for those because of whom also it is tilled partakes of blessing from God.
Hebrews 6:8	But [that] bringing out thorns and thistles [is] unapproved and near to a curse, of which the end [is] unto burning.
Hebrews 6:9	But even if we speak thus. beloved, we are persuaded of better [things] concerning you⁺, and [things] belonging to salvation.
Hebrews 6:10	For God [is] not unjust to forget your⁺ work and the love that you⁺ showed for His name, having ministered to the saints, and [still] ministering.
Hebrews 6:11	And we desire each of you⁺ to show the same diligence toward the full assurance of the hope until the end,
Hebrews 6:12	so that you⁺ may not be sluggish, but imitators of those through faith and patience inheriting the promises.
Hebrews 6:13	For God, having made the promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater to swear by, He swore by Himself,
Hebrews 6:14	saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”
Hebrews 6:15	And thus having waited patiently, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews 6:16	For men swear by the greater, and of all their disputes, an end for confirmation [is] the oath,
Hebrews 6:17	in which God, willing to show more abundantly the unchangeableness of His purpose to the heirs of the promise, guaranteed [it] by an oath,
Hebrews 6:18	so that by two unchangeable things, in which [it is] impossible [for] God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, having fled for refuge to take hold of the hope being set before [us],
Hebrews 6:19	which we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and firm and entering into that within the veil,
Hebrews 6:20	where Jesus, the forerunner for us, entered according to the order of Melchizedek, having become a high priest to the age.
Hebrews 7:1	For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and having blessed him,
Hebrews 7:2	to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all, first indeed being translated, “king of righteousness;” and then also, “king of Salem,” which is, “king of peace,”
Hebrews 7:3	without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest in perpetuity.
Hebrews 7:4	Now behold how great this one [was], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best spoils.
Hebrews 7:5	And indeed, those out from the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a commandment to take a tenth from the people, according to the law—that is, from their brothers, though having come forth out of the loin of Abraham.
Hebrews 7:6	But the one not tracing his descent out from them has collected a tenth from Abraham and has blessed the one having the promises.
Hebrews 7:7	And apart from all dispute, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Hebrews 7:8	And here indeed, dying men receive the tenths; but there, it is being testified that he lives.
Hebrews 7:9	and so to say a word, even Levi, the one receiving the tenths, has paid the tenth through Abraham.
Hebrews 7:10	For he was still in the loin of [his] father when Melchizedek met him.
Hebrews 7:11	Then indeed, if perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for upon it the people had received the law) what need [was] still [for] another priest to arise, according to the order of Melchizedek and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12	For the priesthood being changed, out of necessity a change of law also takes place.
Hebrews 7:13	For [he] of whom these things are said belonged to another tribe, from which no one has attended at the altar.
Hebrews 7:14	For [it is] evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, a tribe in regard to which Moses spoke nothing about priests.
Hebrews 7:15	And it is yet more abundantly evident if another priest according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises,
Hebrews 7:16	who has become [such] not according to a law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
Hebrews 7:17	For it is testified: “You [are] a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
Hebrews 7:18	For indeed, there is a putting away of the preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
Hebrews 7:19	(for the law perfected nothing), and the introduction of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:20	And inasmuch as [it was] not without an oath (for those indeed apart from an oath are become priests),
Hebrews 7:21	the One, however, [was] with an oath through the One saying to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind; ‘You [are] a priest to the age.’”
Hebrews 7:22	By so much also, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
Hebrews 7:23	And indeed those having become priests are many, because of by death being prevented from continuing.
Hebrews 7:24	But because of His remaining to the age, He has the permanent priesthood,
Hebrews 7:25	wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost those drawing near to God through Him, always living to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:26	For such for us indeed was fitting—a high priest holy, innocent, undefiled, having been separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens,
Hebrews 7:27	who has no need every day, as the first high priests, to offer up sacrifices for [his] own sins, then for those of the people; for He did this once for all, having offered up Himself.
Hebrews 7:28	For the law appoints as high priests men having weakness; but the word of the oath, which [is] after the law, [appoints] a Son having been perfected to the age.
Hebrews 8:1	Now the main point of the things being said: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
Hebrews 8:2	a minister in the holy places and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
Hebrews 8:3	For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices, wherefore [it was] necessary [for] this One also to have something that He might offer.
Hebrews 8:4	Then indeed, if He were on earth, not even would He be a priest, [there] being those offering the gifts according to law,
Hebrews 8:5	who serve as an example and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was divinely warned being about to complete the tabernacle. For He says, “See that you will make all things according to the pattern having been shown to you in the mountain.”
Hebrews 8:6	But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:7	For if that first had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.
Hebrews 8:8	For finding fault with them, He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, and I will complete with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant,
Hebrews 8:9	not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers, in the day of My having taken hold of their hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10	For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord, giving My laws into their mind, and I will inscribe them upon their hearts; and I will be unto them God, and they will be unto Me for a people.
Hebrews 8:11	And they shall not teach, each his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because all will know Me, from the small to the great of them,
Hebrews 8:12	because I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I shall remember their sins no more.
Hebrews 8:13	In saying, “new,” He has made old the first; and that which is growing old and aging [is] near to vanishing.
Hebrews 9:1	Therefore also indeed, the first had ordinances of sacred service and a worldly sanctuary.
Hebrews 9:2	For a tabernacle was prepared, the first [room] in which [were] both the lampstand and the table, and the loaves of the presentation, which is called “Holy.”
Hebrews 9:3	Now behind the second veil [was] a tabernacle, being called “Holy of Holies,”
Hebrews 9:4	having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant having been covered around in every part with gold, in which [was] the golden jar having the manna, and the staff of Aaron having budded, and the tablets of the covenant.
Hebrews 9:5	And far above it [were] the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat—concerning which it is not now [time] to speak particularly.
Hebrews 9:6	Now these things having been prepared thus, indeed the priests enter into the first tabernacle at all [times], accomplishing the sacred services,
Hebrews 9:7	but only the high priest into the second, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and [for] the sins of ignorance of the people.
Hebrews 9:8	By this the Holy Spirit [was] making clear [that] the way into the holy [places] had not yet been made manifest, the first tabernacle still having a standing,
Hebrews 9:9	which [is] a parable for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, not being able to make perfect in regard to conscience the one doing sacred service,
Hebrews 9:10	[consisting] only in foods and drinks and various washings—ordinances of the flesh being imposed until the time of reformation.
Hebrews 9:11	But Christ, having come [as] high priest of the good things coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made by hands, that is, not of this creation,
Hebrews 9:12	nor by blood of goats and calves, but through [His] own blood, He entered once for all into the holy [places], having obtained eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:13	For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the ones having been defiled sanctify [them] for the purification of the flesh,
Hebrews 9:14	how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our conscience from dead works, in order to serve the living God!
Hebrews 9:15	And because of this, He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, death having taken place for redemption of the transgressions upon the first covenant, those having been called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
Hebrews 9:16	For where [there is] a covenant, [there is] a necessity to bring forth the death of the one having made [it].
Hebrews 9:17	For a covenant [is] firm upon death, since it is not in force at the time when the one having made [it] is living,
Hebrews 9:18	wherefore neither has the first been inaugurated without blood.
Hebrews 9:19	For [on] every commandment having been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the law, having taken the blood of calves and of goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, he sprinkled both the scroll itself and all the people,
Hebrews 9:20	saying, “This [is] the blood of the covenant, which God commanded to you⁺.”
Hebrews 9:21	And likewise he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the sacred service with blood.
Hebrews 9:22	And almost all things are purified with blood according to the law, and without blood-shedding there is no forgiveness.
Hebrews 9:23	Therefore [there was] a necessity indeed [for] the representations of the things in the heavens to be purified with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews 9:24	For Christ entered not into holy [places] made by hands, copies of the true ones, but into heaven itself, now to appear for us in the presence of God,
Hebrews 9:25	nor that He should offer Himself many times, just as the high priest enters into the holy [places] every year with the blood of another.
Hebrews 9:26	Otherwise it was necessary for Him to have suffered many times from the foundation of the world. But now He has been revealed once in the consummation of the ages for the putting away of sin by the sacrifice of Himself.
Hebrews 9:27	And inasmuch as it is apportioned to men to die once, and after this, judgment,
Hebrews 9:28	so also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for a second time, apart from sin, to those eagerly awaiting Him for salvation.
Hebrews 10:1	For the law, having a shadow of the good things about to be, not the image of the things themselves, every year with the same sacrifices that they offer unto perpetuity, never is able to perfect those coming near.
Hebrews 10:2	Otherwise, would they not have ceased being offered, because of no more having conscience of sins, those serving having been cleansed once?
Hebrews 10:3	But in these [is] a reminder of sins every year.
Hebrews 10:4	For [it is] impossible [for] the blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins.
Hebrews 10:5	Therefore, coming into the world, He says: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.
Hebrews 10:6	In burnt offerings and concerning sin [offerings] You were not well pleased.
Hebrews 10:7	Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come—in the scroll of the book it has been written about Me—to do Your will, O God.’”
Hebrews 10:8	Saying above, “Sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and [those] for sin You did not desire, nor were You well pleased” (which are offered according to the law),
Hebrews 10:9	then He has said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first so that He might establish the second,
Hebrews 10:10	in which act of will, we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews 10:11	And indeed every priest has stood every day, serving and offering the same sacrifices many times, which never are able to take away sins.
Hebrews 10:12	But this One, having offered one sacrifice for sins unto perpetuity, sat down at the right hand of God,
Hebrews 10:13	[as to] the rest awaiting until His enemies should be placed [as] a footstool for His feet.
Hebrews 10:14	For by one offering, He has perfected unto perpetuity those being sanctified.
Hebrews 10:15	And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us. For after having said:
Hebrews 10:16	“This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, giving My laws on their hearts, and I will inscribe them on their mind,”
Hebrews 10:17	then [He says]: “Their sins and their lawless acts, I will remember no more.”
Hebrews 10:18	Now where [there is] forgiveness of these, no longer [is there] an offering concerning sin.
Hebrews 10:19	Therefore, brothers, having confidence for entrance to the holy places in the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:20	by a new and living way, which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh,
Hebrews 10:21	and [having] a great priest over the house of God,
Hebrews 10:22	we should come near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, the hearts having been sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and the body having been washed with pure water.
Hebrews 10:23	We should hold fast to the confession of [our] hope, unwavering; for the One having promised [is] faithful.
Hebrews 10:24	And we should carefully consider toward stirring up one another to love and to good works,
Hebrews 10:25	not forsaking the assembling together of ourselves, as [is] the custom with some, but exhorting, and so much more as you⁺ see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:26	For [if] we are sinning willingly after receiving the knowledge of the truth, [there] no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:27	but only a fearful expectation of judgment and zeal of fire being about to devour the adversaries.
Hebrews 10:28	Anyone having set aside the law of Moses dies without mercies on the basis of two or three witnesses.
Hebrews 10:29	How much worse punishment do you⁺ think he will be worthy of, the one having trampled upon the Son of God, and having deemed common the blood of the covenant in which he was sanctified, and having insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 10:30	For we know the One having said, “Vengeance [is] Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.”
Hebrews 10:31	[It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 10:32	But recall the former days in which, having been enlightened, you⁺ endured a great conflict of sufferings,
Hebrews 10:33	this indeed, being made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations; now this, having become partners of those being treated thus.
Hebrews 10:34	For you⁺ also sympathized with the prisoners and you⁺ accepted the plundering of your⁺ possessions with joy, knowing yourselves to have a better and abiding possession.
Hebrews 10:35	Therefore do not throw away your⁺ confidence, which has a great reward.
Hebrews 10:36	For you⁺ have need of perseverance, so that, having done the will of God, you⁺ may receive the promise.
Hebrews 10:37	For “Yet [in] a very little while, the One coming will come, and will not delay.
Hebrews 10:38	But My righteous one will live by faith; and if he might shrink back, My soul is not well pleased in him.”
Hebrews 10:39	But we are not of [those] shrinking back to destruction, but of faith to the preserving [of] the soul.
Hebrews 11:1	Now faith is the assurance of [things] hoped for, the conviction of things not being seen.
Hebrews 11:2	For in this the ancients were well-attested.
Hebrews 11:3	By faith we understand the ages to have been completed thoroughly by the word of God, in order for that being seen not to have come into being out of the things being visible.
Hebrews 11:4	By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he was testified to be righteous, God testifying about his gifts; and through it, having died, he still speaks.
Hebrews 11:5	By faith Enoch was translated not to see death, “and he was not found, because God translated him.” For before the translation, he had been testified to have pleased God.
Hebrews 11:6	And without faith [it is] impossible to please [Him], for it is necessary for the one coming to God to believe that He is and [that] He becomes a rewarder to those seeking Him out.
Hebrews 11:7	By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the things not yet being seen, having been moved with fear, prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righeousness according to faith.
Hebrews 11:8	By faith Abraham, being called to go out into a place that he was about to receive for an inheritance, obeyed and went out, not knowing where he is going.
Hebrews 11:9	By faith he sojourned in the land of the promise as [in] a foreign [country], having dwelt in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the co-heirs of the same promise.
Hebrews 11:10	For he was awaiting the city having foundations, of which the architect and builder [is] God.
Hebrews 11:11	By faith also Sarah, herself barren, received power for the conception of seed even beyond the opportune age, since she esteemed faithful the One having promised.
Hebrews 11:12	Therefore also were born from one [man], and these of one having become as dead, as the stars of heaven in multitude, and as the sand by the shore of the sea, countless.
Hebrews 11:13	These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar, and having welcomed [them], and having confessed that they are strangers and sojourners on the earth.
Hebrews 11:14	For those saying such things make manifest that they are seeking out a homeland.
Hebrews 11:15	And indeed if they had been remembering that from which they came out, they would have had opportunity to return.
Hebrews 11:16	But now they stretch forward to a better one, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God; for He prepared a city for them.
Hebrews 11:17	By faith Abraham, being tested. has offered up Isaac. Even the one having received the promises was offering up [his] only begotten,
Hebrews 11:18	as to whom it was said, “In Isaac a seed will be called to you,”
Hebrews 11:19	having reasoned that God [was] able even to raise [him] out from the dead, from where he received him back also in a simile.
Hebrews 11:20	By faith also Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning the [things] about to be.
Hebrews 11:21	By faith Jacob, dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph and worshiped on the top of his staff.
Hebrews 11:22	By faith Joseph, finishing [life], made mention concerning the exodus of the sons of Israel and gave commands concerning his bones.
Hebrews 11:23	By faith Moses, having been born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw the child [was] beautiful, and they did not fear the edict of the king.
Hebrews 11:24	By faith Moses, having become grown, refused to be called the son of the daughter of Pharaoh,
Hebrews 11:25	having chosen to suffer mistreatment with the people of God rather than to have the temporary enjoyment of sin,
Hebrews 11:26	having esteemed the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward.
Hebrews 11:27	By faith he left Egypt, not having feared the anger of the king; for as seeing the Invisible One, he persevered.
Hebrews 11:28	By faith he has kept the Passover and the sprinkling of the blood, so that the one destroying the firstborn should not touch them.
Hebrews 11:29	By faith they passed through the Red Sea as through dry land, which the Egyptians, having made an attempt, were swallowed up.
Hebrews 11:30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell, having been encircled for seven days.
Hebrews 11:31	By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those having disobeyed, having welcomed the spies with peace.
Hebrews 11:32	And what more shall I say? For the time will fail me recounting fully about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, also David and Samuel and the prophets,
Hebrews 11:33	who by faith conquered kingdoms, worked justice, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,
Hebrews 11:34	quenched the power of fire, escaped the mouths of the sword, were made powerful out of weakness, became strong in war, [and] put to flight foreign armies.
Hebrews 11:35	Women received their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not having accepted release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection.
Hebrews 11:36	And others received the trial of mockings and of scourgings, and even of chains and of imprisonment.
Hebrews 11:37	They were stoned, they were sawed in two, they died by slaughter of the sword; they wandered in sheepskins, in goatskins, being destitute, being oppressed, being mistreated—
Hebrews 11:38	of whom the world was not worthy—wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes of the earth.
Hebrews 11:39	And these all, having been testified to through faith, did not receive the promise,
Hebrews 11:40	God having planned something better for us, so that not apart from us, they should be perfected.
Hebrews 12:1	Therefore we also, having such a great cloud of witnesses encompassing us, having put off every weight and the sin easily entangling, should run through perseverance the race lying before us,
Hebrews 12:2	looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of [our] faith, who in view of the joy lying before Him endured the cross, having despised [its] shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3	For consider fully the One having endured such great contradiction by sinners against Himself, so that you⁺ might not grow weary, fainting in your⁺ souls.
Hebrews 12:4	Not yet did you⁺ resist unto blood, struggling against sin,
Hebrews 12:5	and you⁺ have forgotten the exhortation that addresses you⁺ as to sons: “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor faint being reproved by Him.
Hebrews 12:6	For the Lord disciplines whom He loves, and He scourges every son whom He receives.”
Hebrews 12:7	[It is] for discipline [that] you⁺ endure; God is treating you⁺ as sons; for what son [is there] whom [his] father does not discipline?
Hebrews 12:8	But if you⁺ are without discipline, of which they have all become partakers, then you⁺ are illegitimate children and not sons.
Hebrews 12:9	Furthermore indeed, we have had fathers of our flesh, discipliners, and we respected [them]; and will we not much more be in subjection to the Father of spirits and will live?
Hebrews 12:10	For indeed, for a few days according to that seeming good to them, they were disciplining [us]—but [He] for [our] benefitting, in order to share His holiness.
Hebrews 12:11	And all discipline indeed for the present does not seem to be of joy, but of grief; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those having been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:12	Therefore set straight again the drooping hands and the enfeebled knees,
Hebrews 12:13	and make straight paths for your⁺ feet, so that the lame should not be turned aside, but rather should be healed.
Hebrews 12:14	Pursue peace with all, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord,
Hebrews 12:15	overseeing, lest any be falling short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up should trouble [you], and by this the many might be defiled,
Hebrews 12:16	lest [there be] any sexually immoral person or profane person, as Esau, who for one meal sold his birthright.
Hebrews 12:17	For you⁺ know that even afterward, wanting to inherit the blessing, he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although having sought it out with tears.
Hebrews 12:18	For you⁺ have not come to [that] being touched and having been kindled with fire, and to darkness and to gloom and to storm,
Hebrews 12:19	and to the sound of a trumpet, and to a voice of sayings which those having heard begged [that] the word not be addressed to them,
Hebrews 12:20	for they could not bear that being commanded: “If even a beast should touch the mountain, it will be stoned.”
Hebrews 12:21	And the thing appearing was so fearful [that] Moses said, “I am greatly afraid and trembling.”
Hebrews 12:22	But you⁺ have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
Hebrews 12:23	and [to] the assembly, to the church of the firstborn having been enrolled in the heavens, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous having been perfected,
Hebrews 12:24	and to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, speaking a better thing than that of Abel.
Hebrews 12:25	Watch out, lest you⁺ refuse the One speaking. For if they did not escape, having refused the One divinely warning [them] on earth, much less we, turning away from the One from the heavens,
Hebrews 12:26	whose voice shook the earth at that time; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once [more] I will shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
Hebrews 12:27	And this, “Yet once [more],” makes evident the removing of the [things] being shaken, as having been made, so that the things not being shaken should remain.
Hebrews 12:28	Therefore, receiving an unshakable kingdom, we may have grace, by which we may serve God well pleasingly, with reverence and awe.
Hebrews 12:29	“For also, our God [is] a consuming fire.”
Hebrews 13:1	Let brotherly love remain.
Hebrews 13:2	Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for through this, some entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews 13:3	Remember the prisoners as having been bound with [them], those being mistreated as yourselves also being in the body.
Hebrews 13:4	[Let] marriage [be] honored in all, and the marriage bed undefiled; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.
Hebrews 13:5	[your] manner of life [let be] without love of money, being satisfied with the present; for He Himself has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
Hebrews 13:6	So we are confident to say: “The Lord [is] to me a helper, and I will not be afraid; what will man do to me?”
Hebrews 13:7	Remember those leading you⁺ who spoke the word of God to you⁺, of whom, considering the outcome of [their] conduct, imitate the faith.
Hebrews 13:8	Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday and today and to the ages.
Hebrews 13:9	Do not be carried along [by] various and strange teachings; for [it is] good [for] the heart to be confirmed by grace, not by foods, in which those walking were not profited.
Hebrews 13:10	We have an altar from which those serving in the tabernacle have no authority to eat.
Hebrews 13:11	For animals whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places by the high priest—the bodies of those are burned outside the camp.
Hebrews 13:12	Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the gate. so that He might sanctify the people by [His] own blood,
Hebrews 13:13	Therefore we should go out to Him outside the camp, bearing His reproach.
Hebrews 13:14	For here we do not have an abiding city, but we are seeking for the one about to be.
Hebrews 13:15	Through Him, then, we should offer up a sacrifice of praise through all [time] to God, that is, the fruit of lips confessing His name.
Hebrews 13:16	And do not be forgetful of doing good and of sharing, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews 13:17	Obey you⁺ those leading and be subject, for they watch over your⁺ souls as [those who] will give an account, so that they may do this with joy and not groaning, for this [is] unprofitable for you⁺.
Hebrews 13:18	Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, wanting to conduct ourselves well in all things.
Hebrews 13:19	And more abundantly I exhort [you] to do this, so that I may be restored to you⁺ more quickly.
Hebrews 13:20	Now [may] the God of peace, the One having brought up out from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
Hebrews 13:21	equip you⁺ in everything good in order to do His will, doing in us that which [is] well pleasing before Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom [be] the glory to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Hebrews 13:22	Now I exhort you⁺, brothers, bear with the word of exhortation, for I have also written to you⁺ by few [words].
Hebrews 13:23	You⁺ know our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I will see you⁺ if he should come more quickly.
Hebrews 13:24	Greet all those leading you⁺ and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you⁺.
Hebrews 13:25	Grace [be] with all of you⁺.
James 1:1	James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Diaspora: Greetings.
James 1:2	Esteem [it] all joy, my brothers, when you⁺ might fall into various trials,
James 1:3	knowing that the testing of your⁺ faith produces perseverance.
James 1:4	And let endurance have [its] perfect work, so that you⁺ may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:5	Now if any of you⁺ lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, the One giving generously to all and not reproaching, and it will be given to him.
James 1:6	But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing, for the one doubting is like a wave of the sea, being blown and being tossed by the wind.
James 1:7	For let that man not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord.
James 1:8	[He is] a double-souled man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:9	But let the brother of humbleness boast in his exaltation,
James 1:10	and the one who [is] rich in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of grass.
James 1:11	For the sun rose with [its] burning heat and withered the grass, and its flower fell, and the beauty of its appearance perished. Thus also the rich [man] will fade away in his pursuits.
James 1:12	Blessed [is] the man who endures trial, because, having been approved, he will receive the crown of life that He promised to those loving Him.
James 1:13	Let no one being tempted say, “I am being tempted from God.” For God is unable to be tempted by evils, and He Himself tempts no one.
James 1:14	But each one is tempted, being dragged away and being enticed by [his] own desire.
James 1:15	Then desire, having conceived, gives birth to sin; and sin, having become fully grown, brings forth death.
James 1:16	Do not be misled, my beloved brothers.
James 1:17	Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
James 1:18	Having willed [it], He brought us forth by the word of truth, for us to be a certain firstfruits of His creatures.
James 1:19	Know [this], my beloved brothers: But let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
James 1:20	for man’s anger does not produce the righteousness of God.
James 1:21	Therefore, having put off all filthiness and abundance of wickedness, accept in meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your⁺ souls.
James 1:22	But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves,
James 1:23	because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror,
James 1:24	for he observed himself and has gone away, and immediately he forgot what kind he was.
James 1:25	But the one having looked intently into the perfect law, that of freedom, and having continued in [it], not having been a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work—this one will be blessed in his doing.
James 1:26	If anyone thinks to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, the religion of this one [is] futile.
James 1:27	Pure and undefiled religion before the God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their tribulation, to keep oneself unstained from the world.
James 2:1	My brothers, do not in partiality hold the faith from our Lord Jesus Christ of glory.
James 2:2	For if a man might come into your⁺ synagogue in splendid apparel with a gold ring, and a poor one in filthy apparel also might come in,
James 2:3	and you⁺ might look upon the [man] bearing the splendid apparel and might say, “You sit here well,” and to the poor one might say, “You stand,” or, “Sit there under my footstool,”
James 2:4	then did you⁺ not make a distinction among yourselves and become judges [with] evil reasonings?
James 2:5	Listen, my beloved brothers: Did not God choose the poor in this world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those loving Him?
James 2:6	But you⁺ dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich oppress you⁺, and they drag you⁺ into court?
James 2:7	Do they not blaspheme the good Name having been called upon you⁺?
James 2:8	If indeed you⁺ fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you⁺ are doing well.
James 2:9	But if you⁺ show partiality, you⁺ are working sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
James 2:10	For whoever shall keep the whole law, but shall stumble in one [part], he has become guilty of all.
James 2:11	For the One having said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” But if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
James 2:12	So speak and so act as being about to be judged by the law of freedom.
James 2:13	For judgment without mercy [will be] to the one not having done mercy. Mercy exults over judgment.
James 2:14	What [is] the gain, my brothers, if anyone says to have faith, but has no works? Is the faith able to save him?
James 2:15	Now if a brother or a sister is naked and lacking of daily food,
James 2:16	and anyone of you⁺ says to them, “Go in peace; be warmed and be filled,” but does not give to them the needful things for the body, what [is] the gain?
James 2:17	So also, faith, if it has no works, is dead by itself.
James 2:18	But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show to me your faith without works, and I will show to you faith by my works.
James 2:19	You believe that God is one. You do well! Even the demons believe [that], and shudder!
James 2:20	But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is idle?
James 2:21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, having offered his son Isaac upon the altar?
James 2:22	You see that faith was working with his works, and by works, faith was perfected.
James 2:23	And the Scripture was fulfilled, the one saying, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness,” and he was called a friend of God.
James 2:24	You⁺ see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
James 2:25	And likewise was not Rahab the prostitute also justified by works, having received the messengers and having sent [them] out by another way?
James 2:26	For just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
James 3:1	Let not many become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive greater judgment.
James 3:2	For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in word, this one [is] a perfect man, able to bridle even the whole body.
James 3:3	Now if we put bits into the mouths of the horses for them to obey us, we turn about even their whole body.
James 3:4	Behold also the ships, being so great and being driven by strong winds, are turned about by a very small rudder where the impulse of the one steering intends.
James 3:5	So also the tongue is a small member, and it boasts great [things]. Behold what size a fire, what size a forest it kindles.
James 3:6	And the tongue [is] a fire, the world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, and setting aflame the course of nature, and [itself] being set aflame by Gehenna.
James 3:7	For every nature both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and things of the sea, is subdued and has been subdued by the human race,
James 3:8	but no one of men is able to subdue the tongue; [it is] an unstable evil, full of deadly poison.
James 3:9	With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, those having been made according to the likeness of God.
James 3:10	Out of the same mouth come out blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
James 3:11	Does the spring send forth out of the same opening sweet and bitter?
James 3:12	Is a fig tree able, my brothers, to make olives, or a vine, figs? Neither [can] salt prooduce sweet water.
James 3:13	Who [is] wise and understanding among you⁺? Let him show [it] out of the good conduct his works in meekness of wisdom.
James 3:14	But if you⁺ have bitter jealousy and self-interest in your⁺ heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.
James 3:15	This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but [is] earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
James 3:16	For where jealousy and self-interest [are], there [are] disorder and every evil thing.
James 3:17	But the wisdom from above is indeed first pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and of good fruits, impartial, unhypocritical.
James 3:18	And the fruit of righteousness in peace is sown by those making peace.
James 4:1	From where [are] battles and from where [are] fights among you⁺? [Is it] not from there, out of your⁺ pleasures warring in your⁺ members?
James 4:2	You⁺ desire, and you⁺ do not have. You⁺ murder and are jealous, and you⁺ are not able to obtain. You⁺ fight and battle. You⁺ do not have, because you⁺ do not ask.
James 4:3	You⁺ ask and do not receive, because you⁺ ask wrongly, that you⁺ may spend [it] in your⁺ pleasures.
James 4:4	Adulteresses! Do you⁺ not know that friendship of the world is enmity [with] God? Therefore whoever should wish to be a friend of the world is appointed an enemy of God.
James 4:5	Or do you⁺ think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit that He made to dwell in us yearns with envy”?
James 4:6	But He gives greater grace. Therefore it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
James 4:7	Therefore subject yourselves to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you⁺.
James 4:8	Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you⁺. Cleanse [your] hands, [you] sinners, and purify hearts, [you] double-souled.
James 4:9	Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your⁺ laughter be turned to mourning and the joy to gloom.
James 4:10	Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you⁺.
James 4:11	Do not speak against one another, brothers. The one speaking against a brother or judging his brother speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.
James 4:12	One is the Lawgiver and Judge, the One being able to save and to destroy. But who are you, the one judging the neighbor?
James 4:13	Come now, those saying, “Today or tomorrow we will go into this city, and will spend a year there and will trade and make gain,”
James 4:14	who do not know what [is] of tomorrow. What [is] your⁺ life? For it is a vapor appearing for a little [while] and then vanishing.
James 4:15	Instead, you⁺ [ought] to say, “If the Lord is willing, both we will live and we will do this or that.”
James 4:16	But now you⁺ boast in your⁺ arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
James 4:17	Therefore to the one knowing to do good, and not doing [it], to him it is sin.
James 5:1	Come now, [you] rich, weep, wailing over the miseries that [are] coming upon you⁺.
James 5:2	Your⁺ riches have rotted and your⁺ garments have become moth-eaten.
James 5:3	Your⁺ gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be for a testimony against you⁺ and will eat your⁺ flesh like fire. You⁺ treasured up in the last days.
James 5:4	Behold, the wage of the workers having mowed your⁺ fields—that having been kept back by you⁺—cries out, and the cries of those having reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Hosts.
James 5:5	You⁺ lived in luxury and you⁺ lived in self-indulgence upon the earth. You⁺ fattened your⁺ hearts in the day of slaughter.
James 5:6	You⁺ condemned [and] murdered the righteous one; he does not resist you⁺.
James 5:7	Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it until it receives the early and the late.
James 5:8	You⁺ also be patient; strengthen your⁺ hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near.
James 5:9	Do not groan against one another, brothers, so that you⁺ might not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing before the doors.
James 5:10	Brothers, [as] an example of suffering evil and of patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
James 5:11	Behold, we count blessed those having endured. You⁺ heard of the perseverance of Job, and you⁺ saw the outcome of the Lord, that the Lord is full of compassion and [is] merciful.
James 5:12	But before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither [by] heaven nor the earth nor any other oath. But let your⁺ “Yes” be yes, and the “No,” no, so that you⁺ might not fall under judgment.
James 5:13	Is anyone among you⁺ suffering evil? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises.
James 5:14	Is anyone among you⁺ sick? Let him summon the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord.
James 5:15	And the prayer of faith will save the one ailing, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he might be one having committed sins, it will be forgiven him.
James 5:16	Therefore confess the sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you⁺ may be healed. The supplication of a righteous [man] being made effective prevails much.
James 5:17	Elijah was a man of like nature to us, and with prayer he prayed [for it] not to rain, and it did not rain upon the land three years and six months.
James 5:18	And again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
James 5:19	My brothers, if anyone among you⁺ should wander from the truth, and anyone should turn him back,
James 5:20	let him know that the one having turned back a sinner from the wandering of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 1:1	Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To the chosen sojourners of the Diaspora of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Peter 1:2	according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you⁺.
1 Peter 1:3	Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One according to His great mercy having begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ out from the dead,
1 Peter 1:4	into an inheritance imperishable and undefiled and unfading, being kept in the heavens for you⁺,
1 Peter 1:5	who [are] being guarded in the power of God through faith for the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter 1:6	In this you⁺ exult, presently [for] a little [while] if it is being necessary, having been grieved by various trials,
1 Peter 1:7	so that the proven genuineness of your⁺ faith, more precious than gold, which [is] perishing though being proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
1 Peter 1:8	whom, not having seen, you⁺ love, in whom, presently not seeing yet believing, you⁺ exult with joy inexpressible and filled with glory,
1 Peter 1:9	receiving the outcome of your⁺ faith, the salvation of [your] souls.
1 Peter 1:10	Concerning this salvation the prophets sought out and searched out, those having prophesied concerning the grace unto you⁺,
1 Peter 1:11	searching into what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ in them was making evident, testifying beforehand unto the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these,
1 Peter 1:12	to whom it was revealed that they were ministering not to themselves but to you⁺ in these things, which now were proclaimed to you⁺ through those having proclaimed the gospel to you⁺ in the Holy Spirit having been sent from heaven, into which angels long to look.
1 Peter 1:13	Therefore having girded up the loins of your⁺ mind, being sober, hope completely upon the grace being brought to you⁺ in the revelation of Jesus Christ,
1 Peter 1:14	as children of obedience, not being conformed to the passions in your⁺ former ignorance.
1 Peter 1:15	But according as the One having called you⁺ [is] holy, be holy yourselves also in all [your] conduct,
1 Peter 1:16	because it has been written: “You⁺ shall be holy, because I am holy.”
1 Peter 1:17	And if you⁺ call on [as] Father the One judging impartially according to the work of each, conduct yourselves in fear in the time of your⁺ sojourn,
1 Peter 1:18	knowing that were you⁺ redeemed from your⁺ futile conduct handed down from [your] fathers, not with perishable things—with silver or with gold—
1 Peter 1:19	but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless,
1 Peter 1:20	having been foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but having been made manifest in the last times on account of you⁺,
1 Peter 1:21	who through Him [are] believers in God, the One having raised Him out from the dead and having given Him glory, so as for your⁺ faith and hope to be in God.
1 Peter 1:22	Having purified your⁺ souls in the obedience of the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another earnestly, out of a pure heart,
1 Peter 1:23	having been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, by the word of God, living and abiding,
1 Peter 1:24	because, “All flesh [is] like grass, and all the glory of it like a flower of grass. The grass withered, and the flower fell off,
1 Peter 1:25	but the word of the Lord remains to the age.” And this is the word having been proclaimed [as] good news to you⁺.
1 Peter 2:1	Therefore, having put off all malice and all deceit and hypocrisies and envies and all evil-speakings,
1 Peter 2:2	like newborn babies, long for the reasonable, unspoiled milk, so that in it you⁺ may grow up into salvation,
1 Peter 2:3	if you⁺ tasted that the Lord [is] good.
1 Peter 2:4	Coming to [Him], a living stone, indeed rejected by men but chosen [and] precious with God,
1 Peter 2:5	you yourselves also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house into a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:6	Therefore it is contained in Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen [and] precious cornerstone; and the one believing on Him shall never be put to shame.”
1 Peter 2:7	Therefore the preciousness [is] to you⁺ who [are] believing. But [to] [those] disbelieving, “The stone that those building rejected, this became into the head of the corner,”
1 Peter 2:8	and, “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” [They] stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
1 Peter 2:9	But you⁺ [are] a chosen kindred, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [His] possession, so that you⁺ may proclaim the excellencies of the One having called you⁺ out of darkness into His marvelous light,
1 Peter 2:10	who once [were] not a people, but now [are] the people of God—those not having received mercy, but now having received mercy.
1 Peter 2:11	Beloved, I exhort [you], as foreigners and sojourners, to abstain from fleshly desires, which war against the soul,
1 Peter 2:12	having your⁺ conduct among the Gentiles good, so that wherein which they speak against you⁺ as evildoers, out of having witnessed the good works, they may glorify God in the day of visitation.
1 Peter 2:13	Be in subjection to every human creation because of the Lord, whether to the king as being supreme,
1 Peter 2:14	or to governors as being sent by him for punishment to evildoers and praise to doers of good,
1 Peter 2:15	because the will of God is this: doing good, to put to silence the ignorance of foolish men,
1 Peter 2:16	as free, and not having the freedom as a cover-up for evil, but as servants of God.
1 Peter 2:17	Honor everyone: love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king.
1 Peter 2:18	Servants, be subject in all fear to [your] masters, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the crooked.
1 Peter 2:19	For this [is] grace, if because of conscience toward God, anyone bears up under griefs, suffering unjustly.
1 Peter 2:20	For what kind of renown [is it] if sinning and being battered, you⁺ shall endure? But if doing good and suffering, you⁺ shall endure, this [is] grace with God.
1 Peter 2:21	For to this you⁺ were called, because Christ also suffered for you⁺, leaving you⁺ an example so that you⁺ should follow after His footsteps:
1 Peter 2:22	“Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth.”
1 Peter 2:23	Who, being reviled, was not reviling in return; suffering, was not threatening, but He was giving [Himself] up to the One judging justly,
1 Peter 2:24	who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having been dead to sins, we might live to righteousness, “by whose stripes you⁺ were healed.”
1 Peter 2:25	For “you⁺ were like sheep going astray,” but now you⁺ returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your⁺ souls.
1 Peter 3:1	Likewise, wives, be subject to [your] own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be won over without word by the conduct of the wives,
1 Peter 3:2	having witnessed your⁺ respectful, pure conduct,
1 Peter 3:3	whose adornment let not be the external, of braiding of hair and putting around of gold or putting on of garments,
1 Peter 3:4	but the hidden man of the heart, in the imperishable [quality] of the gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth before God.
1 Peter 3:5	For in this way formerly the holy women also hoping in God used to adorn themselves, being subject to [their] own husbands,
1 Peter 3:6	as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, of whom you⁺ became children, doing good and not fearing [any] terror.
1 Peter 3:7	Husbands [do] likewise, dwelling with [them] according to knowledge, as with a weaker vessel, with the female, rendering honor as co-heirs also of the grace of life, in order for your⁺ prayers not to be hindered.
1 Peter 3:8	Now the end: All [be] single-minded, sympathetic, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, humble,
1 Peter 3:9	not giving back evil for evil or reviling for reviling; but on the contrary blessing, because to this you⁺ were called, so that you⁺ should inherit a blessing.
1 Peter 3:10	For, “The one wanting to love life and to see good days, let him stop the tongue from evil, and the lips not speak deceit.
1 Peter 3:11	And let him turn away from evil, and let him do good; let him seek peace and let him pursue it.
1 Peter 3:12	For the eyes of the Lord [are] on the righteous, and His ears toward their prayer. But the face of the Lord [is] on [those] doing evil.”
1 Peter 3:13	And who [is] the one who will do evil to you⁺ if you⁺ should be zealous for that which [is] good?
1 Peter 3:14	But even if you⁺ should suffer because of righteousness, [you are] blessed. “And you⁺ should not be afraid of their fear, nor should you⁺ be troubled.”
1 Peter 3:15	But in your⁺ hearts sanctify Christ [as] Lord, always ready for a defense to everyone who [is] asking you⁺ an account concerning the hope in you⁺, but with meekness and fear,
1 Peter 3:16	having a good conscience, so that in that which they speak against [you⁺], they shall be put to shame—those reviling your⁺ good conduct in Christ.
1 Peter 3:17	For [it is] better to suffer doing good, if the will of God wills [it], than doing evil,
1 Peter 3:18	because Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, so that He might bring you⁺ to God, having been put to death indeed in the flesh, but having been made alive in the Spirit,
1 Peter 3:19	in whom also, having gone, He preached to the spirits in prison
1 Peter 3:20	at one time having disobeyed, when the longsuffering of God was waiting in the days of Noah, of the ark being prepared, in which a few—that is, eight souls—were saved through water,
1 Peter 3:21	which also corresponds to the baptism now saving you⁺, not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the demand of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
1 Peter 3:22	who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him.
1 Peter 4:1	Therefore, Christ having suffered in the flesh, you⁺ also arm yourselves with the same mind, because the one having suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
1 Peter 4:2	in order to live the remaining time in the flesh no longer to men’s lusts, but to the will of God.
1 Peter 4:3	For the time past [is] sufficient to have carried out the intent of the Gentiles, having walked in debaucheries, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, carousings, and unlawful idolatries.
1 Peter 4:4	In this, they think it strange of you⁺ not running with [them] into the same overflow of dissipation, slandering,
1 Peter 4:5	who will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:6	For unto this the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead, so that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but they might live according to God in the spirit.
1 Peter 4:7	Now the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be sound-minded and be sober unto prayers,
1 Peter 4:8	before all things having fervent love among yourselves because love covers a multitude of sins,
1 Peter 4:9	hospitable to one another without grumbling,
1 Peter 4:10	just as each received a gift, ministering it to each other as good stewards of the manifold grace of God:
1 Peter 4:11	if anyone speaks, as oracles of God; if anyone ministers, as out of strength that God supplies, so 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.
1 Peter 4:12	Beloved, do not think strange the fiery ordeal among you⁺ taking place for a trial to you⁺, as if a strange thing were happening to you⁺.
1 Peter 4:13	But as you⁺ share in the sufferings of Christ, rejoice, so that also in the revelation of His glory you⁺ may rejoice, exulting.
1 Peter 4:14	If you⁺ are reproached in the name of Christ, [you are] blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you⁺.
1 Peter 4:15	For let not any of you⁺ suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a meddler,
1 Peter 4:16	but if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this name.
1 Peter 4:17	For [it is] the time [for] the judgment to have begun from the house of God; and if from us first, what [will be] the end of those being disobedient to the gospel of God?
1 Peter 4:18	And, “If the righteous one is saved with difficulty, where will appear the ungodly and sinner?”
1 Peter 4:19	Therefore also, those suffering according to the will of God, let them commit their souls to the faithful Creator in doing good.
1 Peter 5:1	I exhort the elders among you⁺ [as] a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ and a partaker of the glory being about to be revealed:
1 Peter 5:2	Shepherd the flock of God among you⁺, exercising oversight, not under compulsion but willingly according to God; and not for shameful gain but eagerly,
1 Peter 5:3	not as exercising lordship over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.
1 Peter 5:4	And [on] the Chief Shepherd having been made manifest, you⁺ will receive the unfading crown of glory.
1 Peter 5:5	Likewise, younger ones, be subject to [your] elders. And all, gird on humility to one another, because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
1 Peter 5:6	Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you⁺ in due time,
1 Peter 5:7	having cast all your⁺ anxiety on Him, because with Him there is care about you⁺.
1 Peter 5:8	Be sober-minded; be alert. Your⁺ adversary the devil prowls around as a roaring lion seeking whom to swallow up,
1 Peter 5:9	whom you⁺ should resist, firm in the faith, knowing the same sufferings in your⁺ brotherhood to be experienced in the world.
1 Peter 5:10	And the God of all grace, the One having called you⁺ to His eternal glory in Christ, having suffered a little while, He Himself will complete, will confirm, will strengthen, [and] will establish [you].
1 Peter 5:11	To Him [be] the power to the ages of the ages. Amen.
1 Peter 5:12	Through Silvanus, the faithful brother as I reckon [him], I wrote to you⁺ through few [words], exhorting and testifying this to be the true grace of God, in which you⁺ stand.
1 Peter 5:13	She in Babylon chosen with [you] greets you⁺, and my son Mark.
1 Peter 5:14	Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to you⁺ all who [are] in Christ.
2 Peter 1:1	Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those having obtained a faith equally precious with ours, through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Peter 1:2	Grace and peace be multiplied to you⁺ in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Peter 1:3	Accordingly, His divine power has given to us all things toward life and godliness, through the knowledge of the One having called us [by His] own glory and excellence,
2 Peter 1:4	through which He has given to us the precious and magnificent promises, so that through these you⁺ might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption in the world in evil desire.
2 Peter 1:5	Now also for this very [reason], having brought in all diligence, supply in your⁺ faith virtue, and in virtue knowledge,
2 Peter 1:6	and in knowledge self-control, and in self-control perseverance, and in perseverance godliness,
2 Peter 1:7	and in godliness brotherly affection, and in brotherly affection love.
2 Peter 1:8	For these things being in you⁺ and abounding make [you] neither idle nor unfruitful in regard to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9	For in whomever these things are not present, he is blind, being shortsighted, having received forgetfulness of the cleansing [from] his former sins.
2 Peter 1:10	Therefore, brothers, be diligent, rather, to make your⁺ calling and election sure. For [in] doing these things, never at any time shall you⁺ stumble.
2 Peter 1:11	For in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you⁺.
2 Peter 1:12	Therefore I will be ready always to remind you⁺ concerning these things, though knowing [them] and having been strengthened in the truth being present.
2 Peter 1:13	Now I esteem it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you⁺ up in a reminder,
2 Peter 1:14	knowing that the putting off of my tabernacle is soon, as also our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
2 Peter 1:15	And I will be diligent also for you⁺ to have at every time after my departure these things, to make a lasting remembrance.
2 Peter 1:16	For we did not make known to you⁺ the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ having followed after cleverly devised myths, but having been eyewitnesses of His majesty.
2 Peter 1:17	For having received honor and glory from God the Father, a voice such as follows was brought to Him by the Majestic Glory: “This is My Son, My beloved, in whom I was well pleased.”
2 Peter 1:18	And we heard this voice having been brought out of heaven, being with Him in the holy mountain.
2 Peter 1:19	And we have the more certain prophetic word, to which you⁺ do well taking heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until this day shall have dawned and the morning star shall have arisen in your⁺ hearts,
2 Peter 1:20	knowing this first, that every prophecy of Scripture is not of its own interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21	For not by the will of man was prophecy brought forth at any time, but being carried by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God.
2 Peter 2:1	But there were also false prophets among the people, as also among you⁺ there will be false teachers who will stealthily introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master having bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Peter 2:2	And many will follow after their sensuality, through whom the way of the truth will be blasphemed.
2 Peter 2:3	And through covetousness they will exploit you⁺ with fabricated words, for whom the judgment of long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.
2 Peter 2:4	For if God did not spare the angels having sinned, but having cast [them] down to Tartarus in chains of gloomy darkness, He delivered [them], being kept for judgment;
2 Peter 2:5	and He did not spare the ancient world, but He preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, one of eight, having brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2 Peter 2:6	and He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, having reduced [them] to ashes, having set an example of what is coming on the ungodly;
2 Peter 2:7	and He delivered righteous Lot, being distressed by the conduct in sensuality of the lawless
2 Peter 2:8	(for that righteous [man] dwelling, among them, day after day, was tormented in [his] righteous soul in seeing and hearing [their] lawless works)—
2 Peter 2:9	[then] the Lord knows to deliver the devout out of trial and to keep the unrighteous being punished unto the day of judgment,
2 Peter 2:10	and especially those going after the flesh in the passion of defilement and despising authority. Bold, self-willed, they are not afraid of blaspheming glorious ones,
2 Peter 2:11	whereas angels, being greater in strength and power, do not bring against them a blasphemous judgment before the Lord.
2 Peter 2:12	But these, as irrational animals having been born naturally for capture and destruction, blaspheming in what they are ignorant of, in their destruction also will be destroyed,
2 Peter 2:13	suffering harm [as] the wage of unrighteousness; esteeming luxury in daytime [as] pleasure; spots and blemishes, luxuriating in their deceptions, feasting with you⁺;
2 Peter 2:14	having eyes full of adultery, and unceasing from sin; enticing unstable souls; having a heart having been trained in covetousness—children of a curse!
2 Peter 2:15	Having forsaken the straight way, they went astray, having followed after the way of Balaam [son] of Beor, who loved the wage of unrighteousness.
2 Peter 2:16	But he had reproof for his own violation of the law [by] a mute donkey; having spoken in a man’s voice, it restrained the madness of the prophet.
2 Peter 2:17	These are springs without waters and mists being driven by a storm, for whom the gloom of darkness has been kept.
2 Peter 2:18	For speaking great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the passions of the flesh to sensuality those barely escaping from those conducting themselves in error,
2 Peter 2:19	promising to them freedom, themselves being slaves of corruption. For by what anyone has been subdued, by that also he is enslaved.
2 Peter 2:20	For if, having escaped from the pollutions of the world in the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, now again having been entangled in these they are subdued, the last [state] has become worse to them than the first.
2 Peter 2:21	For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, having known [it], to have turned from the holy commandment having been delivered to them.
2 Peter 2:22	The thing of the true proverb has happened to them: “A dog having returned to [its] own vomit,” and, “A sow, having washed, to [her] rolling place in the mire.”
2 Peter 3:1	Beloved, this [is] now the second letter I am writing to you⁺ in which I am stirring up your⁺ pure mind in a reminder
2 Peter 3:2	to remember the words having been spoken beforehand by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Savior by your⁺ apostles,
2 Peter 3:3	first knowing this, that in the last days scoffers will come with scoffing, going according to their own passions
2 Peter 3:4	and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For from which time the fathers fell asleep, all things continue in this way from the beginning of creation.”
2 Peter 3:5	For this is hidden from them willingly, that the heavens were long ago, and the earth, out of water and through water having been composed by the word of God,
2 Peter 3:6	through which the world at that time was destroyed, having been deluged with water.
2 Peter 3:7	But by the same word the present heavens and the earth are having been stored up for fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:8	But let this one [thing] not be hidden from you⁺, beloved, that with the Lord one day [is] as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter 3:9	The Lord is not slow [in] the promise, as some esteem slowness, but is patient toward you⁺, not wishing [for] any to perish, but all to receive a place for repentance.
2 Peter 3:10	But the day of the Lord will come as a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a rushing sound, and the elements will be dissolved, burning with heat, and the earth and the works in it will not be found.
2 Peter 3:11	All these things being dissolved in this way, what kind is it necessary for you⁺ to be? [It is] in holy conduct and godliness,
2 Peter 3:12	anticipating and hastening the coming of the day of God, by which the heavens will be dissolved, being set on fire, and the elements melt, burning with heat.
2 Peter 3:13	But according to His promise, we anticipate a new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.
2 Peter 3:14	Therefore, beloved, anticipating these things, be diligent, without spot and without blemish, to be found by Him in peace.
2 Peter 3:15	And esteem the patience of our Lord [as] salvation, just as also our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom having been given to him, wrote to you⁺,
2 Peter 3:16	as also in all the letters, speaking in them concerning these things, in which some things are difficult to be understood, which the unlearned and unstable distort, as also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.
2 Peter 3:17	You⁺, therefore, beloved, knowing [this] beforehand, be on guard, lest, having been led away by the error of the lawless, you⁺ should fall from [your] own steadfastness.
2 Peter 3:18	But grow in grace and in knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him [be] the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
1 John 1:1	That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we looked at and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life—
1 John 1:2	and the life was made manifest, and we have seen and bear witness, and we declare to you⁺ the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us—
1 John 1:3	that which we have seen and have heard we declare to you⁺ also, so that you⁺ also may have fellowship with us. And indeed our fellowship [is] with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
1 John 1:4	And these things we write so that our joy may be full.
1 John 1:5	And this is the message that we have heard from Him and we announce to you⁺, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness—none.
1 John 1:6	If we should say that we have fellowship with Him and should walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.
1 John 1:7	But if we should walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:8	If we should say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:9	If we should confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, that He may forgive us [our] sins and may cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:10	If we should say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
1 John 2:1	My little children, I am writing these things to you⁺ so that you⁺ might not sin. And if anyone might sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.
1 John 2:2	And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for [those] of the whole world.
1 John 2:3	And by this we know that we have known Him, if we may keep His commandments.
1 John 2:4	The one saying, “I have known Him,” and not keeping His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 2:5	But whoever may keep His word, truly in him the love of God has been perfected. In this we know that we are in Him:
1 John 2:6	The one claiming to remain in Him ought, according to the manner that He walked, also himself in the same way to walk.
1 John 2:7	Beloved, I am not writing to you⁺ a new commandment, but an old commandment, which you⁺ have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you⁺ heard.
1 John 2:8	Again, I am writing to you⁺ a new commandment, which is true in Him and in you⁺, because the darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining.
1 John 2:9	The one claiming to be in the light and hating his brother is in the darkness until now.
1 John 2:10	The one loving his brother remains in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling.
1 John 2:11	But the one hating his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness; and he does not know where he goes, because the darkness blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:12	I write to you⁺, little children, because the sins have been forgiven you⁺ through His name.
1 John 2:13	I write to you⁺, fathers because you⁺ have known Him who [is] from the beginning. I write to you⁺, young men, because you⁺ have overcome the evil one. I wrote to you⁺, children, because you⁺ have known the Father.
1 John 2:14	I wrote to you⁺, fathers, because you⁺ have known Him who [is] from the beginning. I wrote to you⁺, young men, because you⁺ are strong, and the word of God remains in you⁺, and you⁺ have overcome the evil one.
1 John 2:15	Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone should love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
1 John 2:16	because all that [is] in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the vaunting of life, is not from the Father but is from the world.
1 John 2:17	And the world is passing away, and its desire; but the one doing the will of God remains to the age.
1 John 2:18	Children, it is the last hour, and just as you⁺ heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, whereby we know that it is the last hour.
1 John 2:19	They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But [it is] so that it might be made manifest that they are not all of us.
1 John 2:20	And you⁺ have the anointing from the Holy One, and all [of] you⁺ know.
1 John 2:21	I did not write to you⁺ because you⁺ do not know the truth, but because you⁺ know it, and because any lie is not of the truth.
1 John 2:22	Who is the liar, except the one denying that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one denying the Father and the Son.
1 John 2:23	Everyone denying the Son, neither does he have the Father. The one confessing the Son has the Father also.
1 John 2:24	You⁺, let that which you⁺ heard from the beginning remain in you⁺. If that which you⁺ heard from the beginning should remain in you⁺, you⁺ also will remain in the Son and in the Father.
1 John 2:25	And this is the promise that He promised us: eternal life.
1 John 2:26	I wrote these things to you⁺ concerning those leading you⁺ astray.
1 John 2:27	And you⁺, the anointing that you⁺ received from Him remains in you⁺, and you⁺ have no need that anyone should teach you⁺. But as the same anointing teaches you⁺ concerning all things and is true and is not a lie, and just as it taught you⁺, remain in Him.
1 John 2:28	And now, little children, remain in Him, so that when He should be made manifest, we might have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
1 John 2:29	If you⁺ know that He is righteous, you⁺ know also that everyone doing righteousness has been born of Him.
1 John 3:1	See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God—and we are! Because of this, the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
1 John 3:2	Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be was not yet made manifest. We know that if He should be made manifest, we will be like Him, for we will see Him just as He is.
1 John 3:3	And everyone having this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
1 John 3:4	Everyone who [is] doing sin also does lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
1 John 3:5	And you⁺ know that He appeared so that He should take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
1 John 3:6	Everyone who [is] remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who [is] sinning has not seen Him, nor has he known Him.
1 John 3:7	Little children, let no one lead you⁺ astray; the one doing righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
1 John 3:8	The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil is sinning from the beginning. For this the Son of God was made manifest, so that He might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:9	Everyone having been born of God does not do sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.
1 John 3:10	In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: everyone not doing righteousness is not of God, and the one not loving his brother.
1 John 3:11	For this is the message that you⁺ heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,
1 John 3:12	not as Cain, [who] was of the evil one and slew his brother. And why did he slay him? Because his works were evil, but those of his brother [were] righteous.
1 John 3:13	And do not marvel, brothers, if the world hates you⁺.
1 John 3:14	We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love [our] brothers. The one not loving remains in death.
1 John 3:15	Everyone hating his brother is a murderer; and you⁺ know that any murderer does not have eternal life remaining in him.
1 John 3:16	In this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down [our] lives for [our] brothers.
1 John 3:17	Now whoever may have the goods of the world, and may see his brother having need, and might shut his heart from him, how does the love of God remain in him?
1 John 3:18	Little children, may we love not in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth.
1 John 3:19	And in this we will know that we are of the truth, and we will assure our heart before Him,
1 John 3:20	that if our heart may condemn [us], that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things.
1 John 3:21	Beloved, if our heart may not condemn [us], we have confidence toward God,
1 John 3:22	and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and we do the things pleasing before Him.
1 John 3:23	And this is His commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another, just as He gave the commandment to us.
1 John 3:24	And the one keeping His commandments remains in Him, and He in him. And in this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit whom He gave to us.
1 John 4:1	Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4:2	In this you⁺ know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ having come in the flesh is of God,
1 John 4:3	and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not of God, and this is that of the antichrist, which you⁺ heard that is coming, and now is already in the world.
1 John 4:4	You⁺ are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is the One in you⁺ than the one in the world.
1 John 4:5	They are of the world; because of this they speak from out of the world, and the world hears them.
1 John 4:6	We are of God. The one knowing God hears us. The one who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
1 John 4:7	Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God; and everyone loving has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:8	The one not loving has not known God, because God is love.
1 John 4:9	In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.
1 John 4:10	In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son [as] a propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:11	Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:12	No one has seen God at any time; if we may love one another, God remains in us, and His love is having been perfected in us.
1 John 4:13	In this we know that we remain in Him and He in us: because from out of His Spirit He has given to us.
1 John 4:14	And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son [as] Savior of the world.
1 John 4:15	Whoever should confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:16	And we have known and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one remaining in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
1 John 4:17	In this, love has been perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as He is, also are we in this world.
1 John 4:18	There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment; and the one fearing has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:19	We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:20	If anyone should say, “I love God,” and should hate his brother, he is a liar. For the one not loving his brother, whom he has seen, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:21	And this commandment we have from Him, that the one loving God should love his brother also.
1 John 5:1	Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone loving the One having begotten also loves the one having been born of Him.
1 John 5:2	In this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.
1 John 5:3	For this is the love of God, that we should keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
1 John 5:4	For everyone having been born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory having overcome the world: our faith.
1 John 5:5	Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:6	This is the One having come by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not in water only, but in water and in blood. And the Spirit is the One testifying, because the Spirit is the truth.
1 John 5:7	For there are three testifying:
1 John 5:8	the Spirit and the water and the blood—and the three are into the one.
1 John 5:9	If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, because this is the testimony of God that He has testified concerning His Son.
1 John 5:10	The one believing in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one not believing God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning His Son.
1 John 5:11	And this is the testimony: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.
1 John 5:12	The one having the Son has life; the one not having the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:13	I wrote these things to you⁺, the ones believing in the name of the Son of God, so that you⁺ may know that you⁺ have eternal life.
1 John 5:14	And this is the confidence that we have toward Him, that if we may ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 John 5:15	And if we know that He hears us, whatever we may ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked from Him.
1 John 5:16	If anyone should see his brother sinning a sin not unto death, he shall ask, and He will give to him life—to those sinning not unto death. There is a sin unto death; I do not say that he should implore concerning that.
1 John 5:17	All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.
1 John 5:18	We know that everyone having been born of God does not sin, but the One having been begotten of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.
1 John 5:19	We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the evil one.
1 John 5:20	Now we know that the Son of God is come, and He has given to us understanding, so that we may know the One who [is] true; and we are in the One who [is] true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
1 John 5:21	Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
2 John 1:1	The elder, To the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all those having known the truth—
2 John 1:2	because of the truth remaining in us and [that] will be with us to the age:
2 John 1:3	Grace, mercy, [and] peace will be with us from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John 1:4	I rejoiced exceedingly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we received a commandment from the Father.
2 John 1:5	And now I implore you, lady, not as writing to you a new commandment, but that which we have had from the beginning, that we should love one another.
2 John 1:6	And this is love, that we should walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you⁺ heard from the beginning, so that you⁺ should walk in it.
2 John 1:7	For many deceivers went out into the world, those not confessing Jesus Christ coming in flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.
2 John 1:8	Watch yourselves, so that you⁺ may not lose what things we worked for, but you⁺ may receive a full reward.
2 John 1:9	Everyone going on ahead and not remaining in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one remaining in the teaching, this one has both the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:10	If anyone comes to you⁺ and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into the house, and do not speak to him to greet [him].
2 John 1:11	For the one speaking to him to greet [him] partakes in his evil works.
2 John 1:12	Having many things to write to you⁺, I intended not with paper and ink, but I hope to come to you⁺ and to speak mouth to mouth, so that our joy may be full.
2 John 1:13	The children of your chosen sister greet you.
3 John 1:1	The elder, To Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
3 John 1:2	Beloved, concerning all things I pray you to prosper and to be in good health, just as your soul prospers.
3 John 1:3	For I rejoiced exceedingly [on] the brothers' coming and testifying of your truth, just as you are walking in truth.
3 John 1:4	I have no greater joy than these things, that I should hear of my children walking in the truth.
3 John 1:5	Beloved, you are doing faithfully whatever you might work for the brothers, and they are strangers,
3 John 1:6	who testified of your love before the church, whom you will do well having sent forward worthily of God.
3 John 1:7	For they went out on behalf of the Name, receiving nothing from the Gentiles.
3 John 1:8	Therefore we ought to support such, so that we may be fellow workers in the truth.
3 John 1:9	I did write something to the church; but the one loving to be first among them, Diotrephes, does not welcome us.
3 John 1:10	Because of this, if I should come, I will bring to remembrance his works that he is doing, prattling against us with evil words; and not being satisfied with these, neither does he welcome the brothers himself, and he forbids those intending, and he casts [them] out of the church.
3 John 1:11	Beloved, do not imitate what [is] evil, but what [is] good. The one doing good is of God; the one doing evil has not seen God.
3 John 1:12	Testimony has been given to Demetrius by all, and by the truth itself; and we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
3 John 1:13	I had many things to write to you, but I do not want to write to you with ink and pen;
3 John 1:14	but I hope to see you soon, and we will speak mouth to mouth. Peace to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
Jude 1:1	Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those called, having been loved in God the Father and having been kept in Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:2	Mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you⁺.
Jude 1:3	Beloved, using all diligence to write to you⁺ concerning our common salvation, I had necessity to write to you⁺, exhorting [you] to contend earnestly for the faith having been delivered once for all to the saints.
Jude 1:4	For certain men came in stealthily, those having been designated long ago unto this judgment, ungodly ones changing the grace of our God into sensuality and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Jude 1:5	Now I want to remind you⁺—you⁺ knowing all things once for all—that Jesus, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, secondly destroyed those not having believed.
Jude 1:6	And the angels not having kept their domain, but having abandoned [their] own dwelling, He has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness unto the judgment of the great day,
Jude 1:7	as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, in like manner to these having indulged in sexual immorality and having gone after other flesh, are set forth as an example, undergoing the penalty of eternal fire.
Jude 1:8	Yet likewise also these dreaming ones indeed defile the flesh, and set aside authority, and blaspheme glorious ones.
Jude 1:9	But Michael the archangel, when disputing with the devil, reasoning about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring against [him] a judgment of blasphemy, but he said, “The Lord rebuke you!”
Jude 1:10	But these indeed blaspheme whatever things they have not seen; and whatever things they understand naturally, as the irrational animals, in these things they corrupt themselves.
Jude 1:11	Woe to them, because they went in the way of Cain, and they rushed for profit to the error of Balaam, and they perished in the rebellion of Korah.
Jude 1:12	These are the ones in your⁺ love feasts, hidden reefs feasting with [you] fearlessly, shepherding themselves; clouds without waters, being carried about by winds; autumnal trees without fruit, twice having died, having been uprooted;
Jude 1:13	wild waves of the sea, foaming out of their shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been kept unto the age.
Jude 1:14	And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied as to these, saying: “Behold, the Lord came amidst myriads of His holy ones,
Jude 1:15	to do judgment against all, and to convict all the ungodly concerning all their works of ungodliness that they did in an ungodly way, and concerning all the harsh [things] that ungodly sinners spoke against Him.”
Jude 1:16	These are grumblers, discontented, going according to their [own] passions; and their mouth speaks great swelling [words], flattering faces for the sake of profit.
Jude 1:17	But you⁺, beloved, remember the words having been spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Jude 1:18	that they were saying to you⁺, “In the last time there will be scoffers, going according to their [own] passions of ungodlinesses.”
Jude 1:19	These are those causing divisions, natural [men], not having the Spirit.
Jude 1:20	But you⁺, beloved, building up yourselves in your⁺ most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,
Jude 1:21	keep yourselves in the love of God, awaiting the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude 1:22	And indeed have mercy on those who are doubting;
Jude 1:23	and save others, snatching [them] out of the fire; and show mercy to others with fear, hating even the clothing having been stained from the flesh.
Jude 1:24	Now to Him being able to keep you⁺ from stumbling and to present [you] blameless in the presence of His glory, with exultation—
Jude 1:25	to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, [be] glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and to all the ages. Amen.
Revelation 1:1	The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to show to His servants what is necessary to take place in quickness. And He signified [it] through having sent His angel to His servant John,
Revelation 1:2	who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, as much as he saw.
Revelation 1:3	Blessed [is] the one reading and those hearing the words of the prophecy and keeping the things written in it; for the time [is] near.
Revelation 1:4	John, To the seven churches in Asia: Grace to you⁺ and peace from the One who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits before His throne,
Revelation 1:5	and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the One loving us and releasing us from our sins in His blood—
Revelation 1:6	and He made us a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him [be] the glory and the dominion to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Revelation 1:7	Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him. Yes! Amen.
Revelation 1:8	“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:9	I, John, your⁺ brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Revelation 1:10	I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 1:11	saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
Revelation 1:12	And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
Revelation 1:13	and in the midst of the lampstands, One like the Son of Man, dressed to the foot, and girded around at the breasts with a golden sash.
Revelation 1:14	And His head and the hairs [were] white as wool, white as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire,
Revelation 1:15	and His feet like burnished bronze, as having been refined in a furnace, and His voice as a voice of many waters,
Revelation 1:16	and having in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword is going forth out of His mouth; and His face [is] as the sun shining in its power.
Revelation 1:17	And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,
Revelation 1:18	and the Living One. And I became dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
Revelation 1:19	Therefore write the things that you saw, and the things that are, and the things that are about to take place after these.
Revelation 1:20	The mystery of the seven stars, which you saw on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.[]
Revelation 2:1	[“] To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things says the One holding the seven stars in His right hand, walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands.
Revelation 2:2	I know your works and your labor and perseverance, and that you are not able to bear evil ones. And you tested those claiming themselves to be apostles and are not, and you found them false.
Revelation 2:3	And you have perseverance, and you endured because of My name, and you have not grown weary.
Revelation 2:4	But I have against you that you abandoned your first love.
Revelation 2:5	Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. But if not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand out of its place, unless you should repent.
Revelation 2:6	But you have this, that you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Revelation 2:7	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one overcoming, I will give to him to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Revelation 2:8	And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and lived.
Revelation 2:9	I know your tribulation and poverty—but you are rich—and the slander of those claiming themselves to be Jews and are not, but [are] a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 2:10	Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you⁺ into prison, so that you⁺ might be tested; and you⁺ will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give to you the crown of life.
Revelation 2:11	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming shall not be harmed by the second death.
Revelation 2:12	And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These things says the One having the sharp two-edged sword.
Revelation 2:13	I know where you dwell, where the throne of Satan [is]; and you hold fast to My name, and you did not deny My faith, even in the days of Antipas My witness, My faithful one, who was killed beside you⁺, where Satan dwells.
Revelation 2:14	But I have a few things against you, because you have [some] there holding the teaching of Balaam, who would teach Balak to cast a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
Revelation 2:15	So you also have [some] holding the teaching of the Nicolaitans likewise.
Revelation 2:16	Therefore repent! But if not, I am coming to you quickly, and I will war against them with the sword of My mouth.
Revelation 2:17	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one overcoming, I will give to him the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the one receiving [it].
Revelation 2:18	And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These things says the Son of God, the One having His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished bronze.
Revelation 2:19	I know your works, and your love and faith and service and perseverance; and your last works [are] more than the first.
Revelation 2:20	But I have against you that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, the one calling herself a prophetess and teaching and leading astray My servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat things sacrificed to idols.
Revelation 2:21	And I gave her time that she might repent, and she is not willing to repent of her sexual immorality.
Revelation 2:22	Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they shall repent of her works.
Revelation 2:23	And I will kill her children with death, and all the churches will know that I am the One searching kidneys and hearts; and I will give to each of you⁺ according to your⁺ works.
Revelation 2:24	But I say to you⁺, to the rest of those in Thyatira, as many as do not have this teaching, who did not know the depths of Satan, as they say: I will not cast upon you⁺ any other burden.
Revelation 2:25	But hold fast to what you⁺ have until which [time] I might come.
Revelation 2:26	And the one overcoming and keeping My works until the end, I will give to him authority over the nations,
Revelation 2:27	and he will shepherd them with a rod of iron, as the vessels [of] the potter are broken in pieces—just as I also have received from My Father.
Revelation 2:28	And I will give to him the morning star.
Revelation 2:29	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.[]
Revelation 3:1	[“] And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things says the One having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, and yet you are dead.
Revelation 3:2	Be watching, and strengthen the things that remain, which are about to die; for I have not found your works full before My God.
Revelation 3:3	Therefore remember what you have received and heard—and keep [it] and repent. Therefore if you shall not watch, I will come as a thief, and you shall not know at what hour I will come upon you.
Revelation 3:4	But you have a few names in Sardis who did not soil their garments, and they will walk with Me in white, because they are worthy.
Revelation 3:5	The one overcoming thus will be clothed in white garments. And I will never blot out his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Revelation 3:6	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Revelation 3:7	And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These things says the Holy One, the True One, having the key of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens.
Revelation 3:8	I know your works. Behold, I have set before you a door having been opened, which no one is able to shut it, because you have little power, and you kept My word and did not deny My name.
Revelation 3:9	Behold, I give [those] from the synagogue of Satan—those claiming themselves to be Jews, and are not, but they lie—behold, I will cause them that they will come and will bow down before your feet, and they shall know that I loved you.
Revelation 3:10	Because you kept the word of My endurance, I also will keep you out of the hour of the testing being about to come upon the whole world, to test those dwelling upon the earth.
Revelation 3:11	I am coming quickly. Hold fast to what you have, so that no one may take your crown.
Revelation 3:12	The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name.
Revelation 3:13	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
Revelation 3:14	And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of God's creation.
Revelation 3:15	I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you would be cold or hot!
Revelation 3:16	So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am about to vomit you out of My mouth.
Revelation 3:17	For you say, ‘I am rich, and I have grown rich, and I have need of nothing.’ And you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.
Revelation 3:18	I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may be clothed and the shame of your nakedness might not be made manifest, and eye-salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Revelation 3:19	As many as I may love, I rebuke and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
Revelation 3:20	Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone should hear My voice and should open the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:21	The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me in My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father in His throne.
Revelation 3:22	The one having an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 4:1	After these things I saw, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven, and the first voice that I heard as a trumpet is speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you what is necessary to take place after these things.”
Revelation 4:2	Immediately I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sitting upon the throne,
Revelation 4:3	and the One sitting, in appearance [was] like jasper and carnelian stone. And a rainbow [was] around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
Revelation 4:4	And around the throne [were] twenty-four thrones, and sitting on the thrones twenty-four elders having been clothed in white garments, and on their heads golden crowns.
Revelation 4:5	And out of the throne proceed flashes of lightning and voices and thunders. And [there were] seven torches of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Revelation 4:6	And before the throne [was] like a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne and around the throne [were] four living creatures, being full of eyes in front and behind.
Revelation 4:7	And the first living creature [was] like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature having the face as of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle flying.
Revelation 4:8	And the four living creatures, one by one of them had six wings respectively, full of eyes all around and within; and they do not have rest day and night, saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, the One who was and who is and who is coming!”
Revelation 4:9	And whenever the living creatures will give glory and honor and thanksgiving to the One sitting upon the throne, the One living to the ages of the ages,
Revelation 4:10	the twenty-four elders will fall before the One sitting upon the throne, and they will worship the One living to the ages of the ages, and they will cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
Revelation 4:11	“Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they existed and were created.”
Revelation 5:1	And I saw on the right hand of the One sitting upon the throne a scroll, written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals.
Revelation 5:2	And I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
Revelation 5:3	And no one in heaven, nor upon the earth, nor under the earth, was able to open the scroll, nor to see it.
Revelation 5:4	And I was weeping much, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll, nor to see it.
Revelation 5:5	And one of the elders says to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
Revelation 5:6	And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God having been sent out into all the earth.
Revelation 5:7	And He came and took [it] out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
Revelation 5:8	And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls being full of incenses, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 5:9	And they sing a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and You purchased for God by Your blood, out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Revelation 5:10	and You made them a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”
Revelation 5:11	And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and of the living creatures, and of the elders; and their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands,
Revelation 5:12	saying in a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:13	And I heard every creature that is in heaven and upon the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and everything in them, saying: “To the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb, blessing and honor and glory and might to the ages of the ages!”
Revelation 5:14	And the four living creatures kept saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell and worshiped.
Revelation 6:1	And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as a voice of thunder, “Come!”
Revelation 6:2	And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and the one sitting on it having a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering, and that he might conquer.
Revelation 6:3	And when He opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!”
Revelation 6:4	And another horse went out, fiery red; and to the one sitting on it, to him was given to take the peace from the earth, and that they will slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.
Revelation 6:5	And when He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” And I saw, and behold, a black horse, and the one sitting on it having a pair of scales in his hand.
Revelation 6:6	And I heard [something] like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A choenix of wheat for a denarius, and three choenixes of barley for a denarius; and you should not harm the oil and the wine.”
Revelation 6:7	And when He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!”
Revelation 6:8	And I looked, and behold, a pale green horse, and the one sitting on it, the name of him [was] Death, and Hades was following with him; and authority was given to them over the fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with plague, and by the beasts of the earth.
Revelation 6:9	And when He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those having been slain because of the word of God and because of the testimony that they had.
Revelation 6:10	And they cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Until when, O Lord, holy and true, do You not judge and avenge our blood from those dwelling upon the earth?”
Revelation 6:11	And to each of them was given a white robe, and it was said to them that they will rest yet a little time, until their fellow servants would also be fulfilled, and their brothers, those being about to be killed even as they.
Revelation 6:12	And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood,
Revelation 6:13	and the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree casts its unripe figs being shaken by a great wind.
Revelation 6:14	And heaven departed as a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation 6:15	And the kings of the earth, and the great ones, and the commanders, and the rich, and the strong, and every slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
Revelation 6:16	And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb,
Revelation 6:17	because the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”
Revelation 7:1	After these things I saw four angels standing upon the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Revelation 7:2	And I saw another angel having ascended from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God. And he cried in a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given to them to harm the earth and the sea,
Revelation 7:3	saying, “Do not harm the earth, nor the sea, nor the trees, until we shall have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.”
Revelation 7:4	And I heard the number of those having been sealed, a hundred forty-four thousand having been sealed out of every tribe of the sons of Israel:
Revelation 7:5	Out of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand having been sealed, out of the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand,
Revelation 7:6	out of the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand,
Revelation 7:7	out of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand,
Revelation 7:8	out of the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, out of the tribe of Benjamin twelve thousand having been sealed.
Revelation 7:9	After these things I saw, and behold, a great multitude, which no one was able to number it, out of every nation and [all] tribes and peoples and tongues standing before the throne and before the Lamb, having been clothed with white robes, and palm branches in their hands,
Revelation 7:10	and crying out in a loud voice, saying: “Salvation to our God, the One sitting on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
Revelation 7:11	And all the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures, and they fell before the throne upon their faces and worshiped God,
Revelation 7:12	saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and strength to our God, to the ages of the ages! Amen.”
Revelation 7:13	And one of the elders answered, saying to me, “These having been clothed with the white robes, who are they, and from where did they come?”
Revelation 7:14	And I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation, and they washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation 7:15	Because of this, they are before the throne of God, and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and the One sitting on the throne will tabernacle over them.
Revelation 7:16	‘They will not hunger anymore, nor will they thirst anymore, nor shall the sun at all fall upon them, nor any scorching heat,’
Revelation 7:17	because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them, ‘and He will lead them to fountains living of waters,’ and ‘God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
Revelation 8:1	And when He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.
Revelation 8:2	And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.
Revelation 8:3	And another angel having a golden censer came and stood at the altar, and much incense was given to him, that he will offer [it] with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar before the throne.
Revelation 8:4	And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints out of the hand of the angel before God.
Revelation 8:5	And the angel took the censer, and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast [it] to the earth; and there were thunders, and voices, and flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
Revelation 8:6	And the seven angels having the seven trumpets prepared themselves, that they might sound the trumpets.
Revelation 8:7	And the first sounded [his] trumpet, and there was hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was cast upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
Revelation 8:8	And the second angel sounded [his] trumpet, and [something] like a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood,
Revelation 8:9	and a third of the creatures having life in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation 8:10	And the third angel sounded [his] trumpet, and a great star fell out of heaven, burning as a torch. And it fell upon a third of the rivers and upon the springs of waters.
Revelation 8:11	And the name of the star is called Wormwood. And a third of the waters became wormwood, and many of the men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation 8:12	And the fourth angel sounded [his] trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them should be darkened, and the day should not shine, a third of it, and the night likewise.
Revelation 8:13	And I saw, and I heard one eagle flying in mid-heaven, saying in a loud voice, “Woe! Woe! Woe to those dwelling on the earth, because of the rest of the sounds of the trumpet of the three angels being about to sound [their] trumpets!”
Revelation 9:1	And the fifth angel sounded [his] trumpet, and I saw a star having fallen out of heaven to the earth, and the key of the pit of the Abyss was given to it.
Revelation 9:2	And he opened the pit of the Abyss, and smoke went up out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit.
Revelation 9:3	And out of the smoke, locusts came out unto the earth, and authority was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have authority.
Revelation 9:4	And it was said to them that they will not harm the grass of the earth, nor any green thing, nor any tree, but only the men not having the seal of God on [their] foreheads.
Revelation 9:5	And it was given to them that they should not kill them, but that they will torment [them] five months. And their torment [was] as the torment of a scorpion when it might strike a man.
Revelation 9:6	And in those days men will seek death and will not find it; and they will long to die, and death flees from them.
Revelation 9:7	And the likenesses of the locusts [were] like horses having been prepared for battle, and upon their heads [were something] like crowns, like gold, and their faces like the faces of men.
Revelation 9:8	And they had hair as hair of women, and their teeth were as [those] of lions.
Revelation 9:9	And they had breastplates as breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings [was] as the sound of many chariots of horses running into battle.
Revelation 9:10	And they have tails and stingers like scorpions, and in their tails [is] their authority to harm men [for] five months.
Revelation 9:11	They have a king over them, the angel of the Abyss. His name in Hebrew [is] Abaddon, and in the Greek he has the name Apollyon.
Revelation 9:12	The first woe has passed. Behold, two woes still are coming after these things.
Revelation 9:13	And the sixth angel sounded [his] trumpet, and I heard one voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God,
Revelation 9:14	saying to the sixth angel, the one having the trumpet, “Release the four angels, those having been bound at the great river Euphrates.”
Revelation 9:15	And the four angels having been prepared for the hour and day and month and year were released, so that they might kill a third of mankind.
Revelation 9:16	And the number of the armies of the horsemen [was] two myriads of myriads; I heard the number of them.
Revelation 9:17	And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those sitting on them, having fiery and hyacinthine and sulfurous breastplates. And the heads of the horses [were] like heads of lions, and out of their mouths proceed fire and smoke and sulfur.
Revelation 9:18	From these three plagues a third of mankind was killed by the fire and by the smoke and by the sulfur proceeding out of their mouths.
Revelation 9:19	For the authority of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails [are] like serpents having heads, and with them they do harm.
Revelation 9:20	And the rest of the men who were not killed in these plagues did not even repent of the works of their hands so that they will not worship the demons and the golden and silver and bronze and stone and wooden idols, which are able neither to see nor to hear nor to walk.
Revelation 9:21	And they did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 10:1	And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow upon his head, and his face [was] like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire,
Revelation 10:2	and having in his hand a little scroll having been opened. And he placed his right foot upon the sea and, the left upon the earth.
Revelation 10:3	And he cried out in a loud voice as a lion roars. And when he cried out, the seven thunders spoke their voices.
Revelation 10:4	And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write. And I heard a voice out of heaven, saying, “Seal the things the seven thunders spoke, and do not write them.”
Revelation 10:5	And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven,
Revelation 10:6	and he swore by the One living to the ages of the ages, who created heaven and the things in it, and the earth and the things in it, and the sea and the things in it, “There will be no longer delay!
Revelation 10:7	But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he may be about to sound the trumpet, then the mystery of God would be completed, as He proclaimed to His servants, the prophets.”
Revelation 10:8	And the voice that I heard out of heaven is speaking with me again and saying, “Go, take the little scroll having been opened in the hand of the angel standing upon the sea and upon the land.”
Revelation 10:9	And I went to the angel, saying to him, “Give me the little scroll.” And he says to me, “Take and eat it up; and it will make your belly bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
Revelation 10:10	And I took the little scroll out of the hand of the angel, and I ate it up; and it was sweet as honey in my mouth; and when I ate it, my belly was made bitter.
Revelation 10:11	And they say to me, “It is necessary for you to prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
Revelation 11:1	And a reed like a staff was given to me, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those worshiping in it.
Revelation 11:2	And leave out the courtyard outside the temple, and do not measure it, because it was given to the nations, and they will trample upon the holy city forty and two months.
Revelation 11:3	And I will give to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Revelation 11:4	These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Lord of the earth.
Revelation 11:5	And if anyone should want to harm them, fire proceeds out of their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone should want to harm them, thus it is necessary for him to be killed.
Revelation 11:6	These have the authority to shut the sky, so that no rain may fall in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every plague as often as they might want.
Revelation 11:7	And when they shall have completed their testimony, the beast coming up out of the Abyss will make war with them and will overcome them and will kill them.
Revelation 11:8	And their body [will be] upon the street of the great city, which is called spiritually Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified.
Revelation 11:9	And [those] of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations look at their bodies three and a half days, and they will not allow their bodies to be put into a tomb.
Revelation 11:10	And those dwelling upon the earth rejoice over them and make merry, and they will send gifts to one another because these two prophets tormented those dwelling upon the earth.
Revelation 11:11	And after the three and a half days, the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those beholding them.
Revelation 11:12	And they heard a loud voice out of heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in the cloud, and their enemies beheld them.
Revelation 11:13	And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell, and seven thousand names of men were killed in the earthquake. And the rest became terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation 11:14	The second woe has passed. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.
Revelation 11:15	And the seventh angel sounded [his] trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying: “The kingdom of the world has become [that] of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign to the ages of the ages.”
Revelation 11:16	And the twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell upon their faces and worshiped God,
Revelation 11:17	saying: “We give thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, the One being, and who was, that You have taken Your great power and reigned.
Revelation 11:18	And the nations were angry, and Your wrath came, and the time for the dead to be judged and to give the reward to Your servants the prophets, and to the saints and to those fearing Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who are destroying the earth.”
Revelation 11:19	And the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation 12:1	And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars,
Revelation 12:2	and having in womb. And she cries out, being in labor, and being in pain to bring forth.
Revelation 12:3	And another sign was seen in heaven, and behold, a great fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his heads seven diadems.
Revelation 12:4	And his tail drags a third of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth. And the dragon stands before the woman being about to bring forth, so that when she should bring forth, he might devour her child.
Revelation 12:5	And she brought forth a son, a male, who is about to shepherd all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.
Revelation 12:6	And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place having been prepared there from God, so that there they may nourish her one thousand two hundred sixty days.
Revelation 12:7	And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels warred against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels warred [back].
Revelation 12:8	And he did not have strength, nor was found their place any longer in heaven.
Revelation 12:9	And the great dragon was thrown [out], the ancient serpent who is called the Devil and Satan, deceiving the whole world. He was thrown to the earth, and his angels were thrown with him.
Revelation 12:10	And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ, because the accuser of our brothers was cast down, the one accusing them before our God day and night.
Revelation 12:11	And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their life unto death.
Revelation 12:12	Because of this, rejoice O heavens, and those dwelling in them! Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil came down to you⁺, having great fury, knowing that he has a short time.”
Revelation 12:13	And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he pursued the woman who brought forth the male [child].
Revelation 12:14	And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she may fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished there a time, and times, and half a time, away from the face of the serpent.
Revelation 12:15	And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a river after the woman, so that he might cause her to be carried away by the river.
Revelation 12:16	And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the river that the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation 12:17	And the dragon was angry over the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commandments of God and having the testimony of Jesus. And he stood upon the sand of the sea.
Revelation 13:1	And I saw coming up out of the sea a beast having ten horns and seven heads, and on its horns ten diadems, and upon its heads names of blasphemy.
Revelation 13:2	And the beast that I saw was like a leopard, and its feet like a bear’s, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave to it his power and his throne and great authority.
Revelation 13:3	And one of its heads [was] as having been slain to death, and its wound of death was healed. And the whole earth marveled after the beast.
Revelation 13:4	And they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who [is] like the beast, and who is able to war against it?”
Revelation 13:5	And a mouth was given to it, speaking great things and blasphemies, and authority was given to it to act forty and two months.
Revelation 13:6	And it opened its mouth for blasphemies toward God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, those tabernacling in heaven.
Revelation 13:7	And there was given to it to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given to it over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
Revelation 13:8	And all dwelling on the earth will worship it, [everyone] whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb having been slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation 13:9	If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Revelation 13:10	“If anyone [is] into captivity, into captivity he goes; If anyone [is] to be killed with the sword, with the sword it is necessary for him to be killed.” Here is the endurance and the faith of the saints.
Revelation 13:11	And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking like a dragon.
Revelation 13:12	And it exercises all the authority of the first beast in the presence of it, and it causes the earth and those dwelling in it that they will worship the first beast, of whom its fatal wound was healed.
Revelation 13:13	And it does great signs, so that it should even cause fire out of heaven to come down to the earth before men.
Revelation 13:14	And it deceives those dwelling on the earth by the signs that were given to it to do before the beast, telling those dwelling on the earth to make an image to the beast that has the wound of the sword and lived.
Revelation 13:15	And there was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast also should speak, and should cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast would be killed.
Revelation 13:16	And it causes all the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the servants, that it should give them a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
Revelation 13:17	and that no one may be able to buy or to sell, except the one having the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Revelation 13:18	Here is the wisdom. The one having understanding, let him count the number of the beast, for it is a man’s number, and its number [is] six hundred sixty-six.
Revelation 14:1	And I saw, and behold, the Lamb was standing upon Mount Zion, and with Him a hundred forty-four thousand having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Revelation 14:2	And I heard a voice out of heaven like a voice of many waters, and like a voice of great thunder. And the voice that I heard [was] as of harpists harping with their harps.
Revelation 14:3	And they sing as 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 one hundred forty-four thousand having been bought from the earth.
Revelation 14:4	These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are virgins, these following the Lamb wherever He may go. These were bought out from men [as] firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.
Revelation 14:5	And in their mouth no lie was found; they are blameless.
Revelation 14:6	And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal gospel to preach upon those dwelling on the earth, and upon every nation and tribe and tongue and people,
Revelation 14:7	saying in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment came. And worship the One having made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.”
Revelation 14:8	And another, a second angel, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, who has given all the nations to drink of the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality.”
Revelation 14:9	And another, a third angel, followed them, saying in a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and its image, and receives a mark on his forehead or upon his hand,
Revelation 14:10	he also will drink of the wine of the fury of God, having been poured undiluted in the cup of His wrath; and he will be tormented in fire and sulfur before the holy angels and before the Lamb.
Revelation 14:11	And the smoke of their torment goes up to ages of ages; and those worshiping the beast and its image have no rest day and night, and if anyone receives the mark of its name.”
Revelation 14:12	Here is the endurance of the saints, those keeping the commandments of God and the faith from Jesus.
Revelation 14:13	And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, “Write, ‘Blessed [are] the dead who are dying in the Lord from now on.’” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “so that they will rest from their labors; for their works follow with them.”
Revelation 14:14	And I saw, and behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud is sitting One like a Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:15	And another angel came out of the temple, crying in a loud voice to the One sitting on the cloud, “Send forth Your sickle and reap, because the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth has ripened.”
Revelation 14:16	And the One sitting on the cloud cast His sickle on the earth, and the earth was harvested.
Revelation 14:17	And another angel came forth out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation 14:18	And another angel came forth out from the altar, having authority over the fire, and he called in a loud voice to the one having the sharp sickle, saying, “Send forth your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because its grapes have fully ripened.”
Revelation 14:19	And the angel cast his sickle to the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast [them] into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Revelation 14:20	And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and blood came forth out of the winepress up to the bridles of the horses, to the distance of one thousand six hundred stadia.
Revelation 15:1	And I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven: seven angels having seven plagues—the last, because in them the wrath of God was completed.
Revelation 15:2	And I saw [something] like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those conquering over the beast and over its image and over the number of its name, standing upon the sea of glass, having harps of God.
Revelation 15:3	And they are singing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous [are] Your works, Lord God Almighty! Righteous and true [are] Your ways, O King of the nations!
Revelation 15:4	Who should not fear [You], O Lord, and will glorify Your name? For [You] alone [are] holy. For all the nations will come and will worship before You, because Your righteous acts were revealed.”
Revelation 15:5	And after these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.
Revelation 15:6	And the seven angels having the seven plagues came forth out of the temple, dressed in pure bright linen and girded with golden sashes around the chests.
Revelation 15:7	And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, the One living to the ages of the ages.
Revelation 15:8	And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from His power; and no one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels should be completed.
Revelation 16:1	And I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out into the earth the seven bowls of the wrath of God.”
Revelation 16:2	And the first departed and poured out his bowl into the earth, and an evil and grievous sore came upon the men having the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image.
Revelation 16:3	And the second poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood, as of one dead; and every living soul that was in the sea died.
Revelation 16:4	And the third poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of the waters, and they became blood.
Revelation 16:5	And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “Righteous are You the One who is and who was, O holy One, because You judged these things,
Revelation 16:6	because they poured out the blood of saints and of prophets, and You have given to them blood to drink; they are worthy.”
Revelation 16:7	And I heard the altar saying: “Yes, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous [are] Your judgments.”
Revelation 16:8	And the fourth poured out his bowl upon the sun, and there was given to it to scorch men with fire.
Revelation 16:9	And the men were scorched with great scorching heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, the One having authority over these plagues; and they did not repent to give to Him glory.
Revelation 16:10	And the fifth poured out his bowl upon the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they were gnawing their tongues from the distress,
Revelation 16:11	and they blasphemed the God of heaven on account of their distresses, and on account of their sores; and they did not repent of their works.
Revelation 16:12	And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way might be prepared of the kings of the rising of the sun.
Revelation 16:13	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;
Revelation 16:14	for they are spirits of demons doing signs that go forth to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the battle of the great day of God the Almighty.
Revelation 16:15	“Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed [is] the one watching and keeping his garments, so that he may not walk naked and they may see his shame.”
Revelation 16:16	And he gathered them together unto the place called in Hebrew Armageddon.
Revelation 16:17	And the seventh poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done!”
Revelation 16:18	And there were flashes of lightning, and voices, and thunders; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since men were upon the earth—so mighty [was] the earthquake, so great,
Revelation 16:19	and the great city was [split] into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of the fury of His wrath.
Revelation 16:20	And every island fled, and mountains were not found.
Revelation 16:21	And a great hail, about a talent weight, comes down out of heaven upon the men. And the men blasphemed God on account of the plague of the hail, because the plague of it is exceedingly great.
Revelation 17:1	And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute, the one sitting upon many waters,
Revelation 17:2	with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those dwelling on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her sexual immorality.”
Revelation 17:3	And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast being full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation 17:4	And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stone and pearls, holding a golden cup in her hand, being full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.
Revelation 17:5	And upon her forehead a name was written, a mystery: BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 17:6	And I saw the woman being drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And having seen her, I marveled with great wonder.
Revelation 17:7	And the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast carrying her, having the seven heads and the ten horns.
Revelation 17:8	The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the Abyss and go into destruction; and those dwelling on the earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and will be.
Revelation 17:9	Here [is] the mind having wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits on them;
Revelation 17:10	and there are seven kings. The five fell, the one is, the other did not yet come; and when he shall have come, it is necessary for him to remain a little while.
Revelation 17:11	And the beast that was and is not is also himself an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into destruction.
Revelation 17:12	And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who did not yet receive a kingdom, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation 17:13	These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 17:14	These will war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those with Him [are] called and chosen and faithful.”
Revelation 17:15	And he says to me, “The waters that you saw where the prostitute sits are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.
Revelation 17:16	And the ten horns that you saw, and the beast, these will hate the prostitute, and they will make her desolate and naked, and they will eat her flesh and will burn her in fire.
Revelation 17:17	For God gave into their hearts to do His purpose, and to do one purpose, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God will be completed.
Revelation 17:18	And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having kingship over the kings of the earth.”
Revelation 18:1	After these things I saw another angel coming down out of heaven, having great authority; and the earth was illuminated from his glory.
Revelation 18:2	And he cried out in a strong voice, saying: “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! And she has become a habitation of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean bird, and a prison of every unclean creature also having been hated.
Revelation 18:3	For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality; and the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her; and the merchants of the earth became rich through the power of her luxury.”
Revelation 18:4	And I heard another voice out of heaven saying: “Come forth out of her, My people, so that you⁺ may not share together in her sins, and so that you⁺ may not receive of her plagues.
Revelation 18:5	For her sins were heaped up to heaven, and God remembered her unrighteousnesses.
Revelation 18:6	Render to her as she also rendered; and double to [her] double according to her works. In the cup that she mixed, mix double to her.
Revelation 18:7	As much as she glorified herself and lived in luxury, give to her as much torment and mourning, because in her heart she says, ‘I sit as queen, and I am not a widow, and never shall I see mourning.’
Revelation 18:8	Because of this, her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and in fire she will be burned up, because strong [is] the Lord God, the One having judged her.”
Revelation 18:9	And the kings of the earth, the ones having committed sexual immorality and having lived luxuriously with her, will weep and will wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning,
Revelation 18:10	standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment came.”
Revelation 18:11	And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo [any] longer—
Revelation 18:12	cargo of gold, and of silver, and of precious stone, and of pearls; and of fine linen, and of purple, and of silk, and of scarlet; and all thyine wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel of most precious wood, and of bronze, and of iron, and of marble;
Revelation 18:13	and cinnamon, and spice, and incense, and myrrh, and frankincense; and wine, and oil, and finest flour, and wheat; and cattle, and sheep, and of horses, and of chariots; and of bodies and souls of men.
Revelation 18:14	And: “The ripe fruit of the desire of your soul departed from you, and all the sumptuous things and the splendid things perished from you, and they will never find them [any] longer.”
Revelation 18:15	The merchants of these things, those having become rich from her, will stand from afar, weeping and mourning because of the fear of her torment,
Revelation 18:16	saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, having been clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and having been adorned in gold and precious stone and pearl!
Revelation 18:17	For in one hour such great wealth was brought to desolation!” And every shipmaster, and all those sailing to a place, and sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood from afar,
Revelation 18:18	and they were crying out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, “What [is] like the great city?”
Revelation 18:19	And they cast dust upon their heads, and they were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying: “Woe, woe, the great city, in which all those having ships in the sea became rich through her wealth! For in one hour she was brought to desolation.”
Revelation 18:20	Rejoice over her, O heaven, and [you] saints and apostles and prophets, because God judged the judgment of you⁺ against her.
Revelation 18:21	And one strong angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast [it] into the sea, saying: “Thus Babylon will be cast down with violence, the great city, and shall never be found any longer.
Revelation 18:22	And the sound of harpists and musicians and flute players and trumpeters shall never be heard in you any longer. And any craftsmen of any craft shall never be found in you any longer, and the sound of a millstone shall never be heard in you any longer.
Revelation 18:23	And the light of a lamp shall never shine in you any longer, and the voice of a bridegroom and a bride shall never be heard in you any longer. For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because in your sorcery all the nations were deceived.”
Revelation 18:24	And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all those having been slain on the earth.
Revelation 19:1	After these things I heard [something] like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying: “Hallelujah! The salvation and the glory and the power of our God!
Revelation 19:2	For true and righteous [are] His judgments, because He judged the great prostitute who was corrupting the earth in her sexual immorality, and He avenged the blood of His servants, out of her hand.”
Revelation 19:3	And a second time they said: “Hallelujah! And her smoke goes up to the ages of the ages.”
Revelation 19:4	And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God, the One sitting on the throne, saying: “Amen, Hallelujah!”
Revelation 19:5	And a voice came out from the throne, saying: “Praise our God, all [you] His servants, and those fearing Him, the small and the great!”
Revelation 19:6	And I heard [something] like a voice of a great multitude, and as a voice of many waters, and as a voice of strong thunders, saying: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, has reigned.
Revelation 19:7	We should rejoice and should exult and we will give to Him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has prepared herself.
Revelation 19:8	And it was given to her that she should be clothed in fine linen, bright [and] pure.” For the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
Revelation 19:9	And he says to me, “Write, ‘Blessed [are] those having been called to the supper of the marriage of the Lamb.’” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”
Revelation 19:10	And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, “See, no! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers, those having the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Revelation 19:11	And I saw heaven having been opened, and behold, a white horse, and the One sitting upon it called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.
Revelation 19:12	Now His eyes [are] like a flame of fire, and upon His head many diadems, having a name written, which no one knows except He Himself,
Revelation 19:13	and clothed with a garment dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.
Revelation 19:14	And the armies who [were] in heaven were following Him upon white horses, dressed in fine linen, white [and] pure.
Revelation 19:15	And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations; and He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the press of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
Revelation 19:16	And He has a name written upon the robe and upon His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation 19:17	And I saw one angel standing in the sun, and he cried out in a loud voice, saying to all the birds flying in mid-heaven, “Come, gather yourselves together unto the great supper of God,
Revelation 19:18	so that you⁺ may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of commanders, and the flesh of strong [men], and the flesh of horses and of those sitting on them, and the flesh of all, both free and slaves and small and great.”
Revelation 19:19	And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies having been gathered together to make war with the One sitting on the horse and with His army.
Revelation 19:20	And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet, the one having done the signs before him, by which he deceived those having received the mark of the beast and those worshiping its image. The two were cast living into the lake of fire burning with sulfur.
Revelation 19:21	And the rest were killed with the sword of the One sitting on the horse, having gone forth out of His mouth. And all the birds were filled with their flesh.
Revelation 20:1	And I saw an angel descending out of heaven, having the key of the Abyss and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation 20:2	And he seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:3	And he cast him into the Abyss, and shut and sealed [it] over him, so that he should not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years should be completed. After these things, it is necessary for him to be released for a little time.
Revelation 20:4	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them, and the souls of those having been beheaded because of the testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who did not worship the beast nor its image, and did not receive the mark upon the forehead and upon their hand. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation 20:5	The rest of the dead did not live until the thousand years should be completed. This [is] the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:6	Blessed and holy [is] the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.
Revelation 20:7	And when the thousand years should be completed, Satan will be released out of his prison,
Revelation 20:8	and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together unto the war, of whom the number of them [is] like the sand of the sea.
Revelation 20:9	And they went up over the breadth of the earth and encircled the camp of the saints and the city having been beloved. But fire came down out of heaven and devoured them.
Revelation 20:10	And the devil, the one deceiving them, was cast into the lake of fire and of sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet also [are]; and they will be tormented day and night to the ages of the ages.
Revelation 20:11	And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it, from whose face the earth and heaven fled, and no place was found for them.
Revelation 20:12	And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the one of life. And the dead were judged out of the things written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13	And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and each [of them] were judged according to their works.
Revelation 20:14	And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:15	And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 21:1	And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
Revelation 21:2	And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation 21:3	And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying: “Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and He will tabernacle with them, and they will be His peoples, and God Himself will be with them [as] their God.
Revelation 21:4	‘And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’ and death will be no more, nor mourning nor crying nor pain; they will be no more, because the first things passed away.”
Revelation 21:5	And the One sitting on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He says, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”
Revelation 21:6	And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting, I will give of the spring of the water of life freely.
Revelation 21:7	The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
Revelation 21:8	But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part [is] in the lake burning with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:9	And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls being full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Revelation 21:10	And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and he showed me the holy city Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:11	having the glory of God. Its radiance [was] like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone being clear as crystal,
Revelation 21:12	having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and on the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
Revelation 21:13	On the east [were] three gates, and on the north three gates, and on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
Revelation 21:14	And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation 21:15	And the one speaking with me had a golden measuring reed, so that he might measure the city and its gates and its wall.
Revelation 21:16	And the city lies foursquare, and its length the same as also the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed at twelve thousand stadia. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Revelation 21:17	And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of man, that is, of the angel.
Revelation 21:18	And the structure of its wall [was] jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass,
Revelation 21:19	the foundations of the wall of the city adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
Revelation 21:20	the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.
Revelation 21:21	And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; each one of the gates respectively was of one pearl, and the street of the city pure gold, transparent as glass.
Revelation 21:22	And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.
Revelation 21:23	And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp [is] the Lamb.
Revelation 21:24	And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it.
Revelation 21:25	And its gates shall never be shut by day, for there will be no night there.
Revelation 21:26	And they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.
Revelation 21:27	And anything defiling, and those practicing abomination and a lie, never shall enter into it, only those written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Revelation 22:1	And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:2	In the middle of its street and of the river, on this side and on that side, [was a] tree of life, producing twelve fruits, yielding its fruit according to each month; and the leaves of the tree [are] for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3	And there will not be any curse any longer. And the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him.
Revelation 22:4	And they will see His face, and His name [is] on their foreheads.
Revelation 22:5	And there will be no night any longer, and they have no need of the light of a lamp and of the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate upon them, and they will reign to the ages of the ages.
Revelation 22:6	And he said to me, “These words [are] faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants what is necessary to take place in quickness.”
Revelation 22:7	“And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed [is] the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Revelation 22:8	And I, John, [am] the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things.
Revelation 22:9	And he says to me, “See, no! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this book. Worship God!”
Revelation 22:10	And he says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near.
Revelation 22:11	The one being unrighteous, let him be unrighteous still; and the filthy one, let him be filthy still; and the righteous one, let him practice righteousness still; and the holy one, let him be holy still.”
Revelation 22:12	“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward [is] with Me, to render to each as is his work.
Revelation 22:13	I [am] the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Revelation 22:14	Blessed [are] those washing their robes, that their authority will be over the tree of life, and by the gates they might enter into the city.
Revelation 22:15	Outside [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and practicing falsehood.
Revelation 22:16	“I, Jesus, sent My angel to testify to you⁺ these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”
Revelation 22:17	And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one hearing, let him say, “Come!” And the one thirsting, let him come; the one wanting, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation 22:18	I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone should add to these things, God will add unto him the plagues written in this book.
Revelation 22:19	And if anyone should take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, of those written in this book.
Revelation 22:20	The One testifying these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
Revelation 22:21	The grace of the Lord Jesus [be] with all the saints. Amen.
