Genesis 24:1--32:32

And Abraham
<085>
was old
<02204> (8804)_,
[and] well stricken
<0935> (8804)
in age
<03117>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
had blessed
<01288> (8765)
Abraham
<085>
in all things. {well...: Heb. gone into days}
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his eldest
<02205>
servant
<05650>
of his house
<01004>_,
that ruled over
<04910> (8802)
all that he had, Put
<07760> (8798)_,
I pray thee, thy hand
<03027>
under my thigh
<03409>_:
And I will make thee swear
<07650> (8686)
by the LORD
<03068>_,
the God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and the God
<0430>
of the earth
<0776>_,
that thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Canaanites
<03669>_,
among
<07130>
whom I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
But thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)
unto my country
<0776>_,
and to my kindred
<04138>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>_.
And the servant
<05650>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Peradventure the woman
<0802>
will not be willing
<014> (8799)
to follow
<03212> (8800)
me
<0310>
unto this land
<0776>_:
must I needs bring
<07725> (8687)
thy son
<01121>
again
<07725> (8686)
unto the land
<0776>
from whence thou camest
<03318> (8804)_?
And Abraham
<085>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Beware
<08104> (8734)
thou that thou bring
<07725> (0)
not
<06435>
my son
<01121>
thither again
<07725> (8686)_.
The LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of heaven
<08064>_,
which took me
<03947> (8804)
from my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
and from the land
<0776>
of my kindred
<04138>_,
and which spake
<01696> (8765)
unto me, and that sware
<07650> (8738)
unto me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Unto thy seed
<02233>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
this land
<0776>_;
he shall send
<07971> (8799)
his angel
<04397>
before thee
<06440>_,
and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>
from thence.
And if the woman
<0802>
will not be willing
<014> (8799)
to follow
<03212> (8800)
thee
<0310>_,
then thou shalt be clear
<05352> (8738)
from this my oath
<07621>_:
only bring
<07725> (0)
not my son
<01121>
thither again
<07725> (8686)_.
And the servant
<05650>
put
<07760> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
under the thigh
<03409>
of Abraham
<085>
his master
<0113>_,
and sware
<07650> (8735)
to him concerning
<05921>
that
<02088>
matter
<01697>_.
And the servant
<05650>
took
<03947> (8799)
ten
<06235>
camels
<01581>
of the camels
<01581>
of his master
<0113>_,
and departed
<03212> (8799)_;
for all the goods
<02898>
of his master
<0113>
[were] in his hand
<03027>_:
and he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
to Mesopotamia
<0763>_,
unto the city
<05892>
of Nahor
<05152>_.
{for: or, and}
And he made
<01288> (0)
his camels
<01581>
to kneel down
<01288> (8686)
without
<02351>
the city
<05892>
by
<0413>
a well
<0875>
of water
<04325>
at the time
<06256>
of the evening
<06153>_,
[even] the time
<06256>
that women go out
<03318> (8800)
to draw
<07579> (8802)
[water]. {that...: Heb. that women who draw water go forth}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
I pray thee, send me
<06440>
good speed
<07136> (8685)
this day
<03117>_,
and shew
<06213> (8798)
kindness
<02617>
unto
<05973>
my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_.
Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)
[here] by the well
<05869>
of water
<04325>_;
and the daughters
<01323>
of the men
<0582>
of the city
<05892>
come out
<03318> (8802)
to draw
<07579> (8800)
water
<04325>_:
And let it come to pass, that the damsel
<05291>
to whom I shall say
<0559> (8799)_,
Let down
<05186> (8685)
thy pitcher
<03537>_,
I pray thee, that I may drink
<08354> (8799)_;
and she shall say
<0559> (8804)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
and I will give
<08248> (0)
thy camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8686)
also: [let the same be] she [that] thou hast appointed
<03198> (8689)
for thy servant
<05650>
Isaac
<03327>_;
and thereby shall I know
<03045> (8799)
that thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
kindness
<02617>
unto my master
<0113>_.
And it came to pass, before he had done
<03615> (8765)
speaking
<01696> (8763)_,
that, behold, Rebekah
<07259>
came out
<03318> (8802)_,
who
<0834>
was born
<03205> (8795)
to Bethuel
<01328>_,
son
<01121>
of Milcah
<04435>_,
the wife
<0802>
of Nahor
<05152>_,
Abraham's
<085>
brother
<0251>_,
with her pitcher
<03537>
upon her shoulder
<07926>_.
And the damsel
<05291>
[was] very
<03966>
fair
<02896>
to look upon
<04758>_,
a virgin
<01330>_,
neither had any man
<0376>
known
<03045> (8804)
her: and she went down
<03381> (8799)
to the well
<05869>_,
and filled
<04390> (8762)
her pitcher
<03537>_,
and came up
<05927> (8799)_.
{very...: Heb. good of countenance}
And the servant
<05650>
ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet her
<07125> (8800)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me, I pray thee, drink
<01572> (8685)
a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
of thy pitcher
<03537>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
my lord
<0113>_:
and she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and let down
<03381> (8686)
her pitcher
<03537>
upon her hand
<03027>_,
and gave him drink
<08248> (8686)_.
And when she had done
<03615> (8762)
giving him drink
<08248> (8687)_,
she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will draw
<07579> (8799)
[water] for thy camels
<01581>
also, until they have done
<03615> (8765)
drinking
<08354> (8800)_.
And she hasted
<04116> (8762)_,
and emptied
<06168> (8762)
her pitcher
<03537>
into the trough
<08268>_,
and ran
<07323> (8799)
again unto the well
<0875>
to draw
<07579> (8800)
[water], and drew
<07579> (8799)
for all his camels
<01581>_.
And the man
<0376>
wondering
<07583> (8693)
at her held his peace
<02790> (8688)_,
to wit
<03045> (8800)
whether the LORD
<03068>
had made
<06743> (0)
his journey
<01870>
prosperous
<06743> (8689)
or
<0518>
not.
And it came to pass, as the camels
<01581>
had done
<03615> (8765)
drinking
<08354> (8800)_,
that the man
<0376>
took
<03947> (8799)
a golden
<02091>
earring
<05141>
of half a shekel
<01235>
weight
<04948>_,
and two
<08147>
bracelets
<06781>
for her hands
<03027>
of ten
<06235>
[shekels] weight
<04948>
of gold
<02091>_;
{earring: or, jewel for the forehead}
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whose
<04310>
daughter
<01323>
[art] thou
<0859>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, I pray thee: is there
<03426>
room
<04725>
[in] thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>
for us to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] the daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the son
<01121>
of Milcah
<04435>_,
which she bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Nahor
<05152>_.
She said
<0559> (8799)
moreover unto him, We have both
<01571>
straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
enough
<07227>_,
and
<01571>
room
<04725>
to lodge in
<03885> (8800)_.
And the man
<0376>
bowed down his head
<06915> (8799)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
who hath not left destitute
<05800> (8804) <05973>
my master
<0113>
of his mercy
<02617>
and his truth
<0571>_:
I [being] in the way
<01870>_,
the LORD
<03068>
led me
<05148> (8804)
to the house
<01004>
of my master's
<0113>
brethren
<0251>_.
And the damsel
<05291>
ran
<07323> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
[them of] her mother's
<0517>
house
<01004>
these things
<01697>_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
had a brother
<0251>_,
and his name
<08034>
[was] Laban
<03837>_:
and Laban
<03837>
ran
<07323> (8799)
out
<02351>
unto the man
<0376>_,
unto the well
<05869>_.
And it came to pass, when he saw
<07200> (8800)
the earring
<05141>
and bracelets
<06781>
upon his sister's
<0269>
hands
<03027>_,
and when he heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of Rebekah
<07259>
his sister
<0269>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus
<03541>
spake
<01696> (8765)
the man
<0376>
unto me; that he came
<0935> (8799)
unto the man
<0376>_;
and, behold, he stood
<05975> (8802)
by
<05921>
the camels
<01581>
at the well
<05869>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Come in
<0935> (8798)_,
thou blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_;
wherefore standest
<05975> (8799)
thou without
<02351>_?
for I have prepared
<06437> (8765)
the house
<01004>_,
and room
<04725>
for the camels
<01581>_.
And the man
<0376>
came
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_:
and he ungirded
<06605> (8762)
his camels
<01581>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
straw
<08401>
and provender
<04554>
for the camels
<01581>_,
and water
<04325>
to wash
<07364> (8800)
his feet
<07272>_,
and the men's
<0582>
feet
<07272>
that [were] with him.
And there was set
<07760> (8714) (8675) <03455> (8799)
[meat] before him
<06440>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_:
but he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not eat
<0398> (8799)_,
until I have told
<01696> (8765)
mine errand
<01697>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Speak on
<01696> (8761)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)
my master
<0113>
greatly
<03966>_;
and he is become great
<01431> (8799)_:
and he hath given
<05414> (8799)
him flocks
<06629>_,
and herds
<01241>_,
and silver
<03701>_,
and gold
<02091>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and camels
<01581>_,
and asses
<02543>_.
And Sarah
<08283>
my master's
<0113>
wife
<0802>
bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>
to my master
<0113>
when
<0310>
she was old
<02209>_:
and unto him hath he given
<05414> (8799)
all that he hath.
And my master
<0113>
made me swear
<07650> (8686)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
to my son
<01121>
of the daughters
<01323>
of the Canaanites
<03669>_,
in whose land
<0776>
I dwell
<03427> (8802)_:
But
<0518>
thou shalt go
<03212> (8799)
unto my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
and to my kindred
<04940>_,
and take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
unto my son
<01121>_.
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto my master
<0113>_,
Peradventure the woman
<0802>
will not follow
<03212> (8799) <0310>
me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, The LORD
<03068>_,
before
<06440>
whom I walk
<01980> (8694)_,
will send
<07971> (8799)
his angel
<04397>
with thee, and prosper
<06743> (8689)
thy way
<01870>_;
and thou shalt take
<03947> (8804)
a wife
<0802>
for my son
<01121>
of my kindred
<04940>_,
and of my father's
<01>
house
<01004>_:
Then shalt thou be clear
<05352> (8735)
from [this] my oath
<0423>_,
when thou comest
<0935> (8799)
to my kindred
<04940>_;
and if they give
<05414> (8799)
not thee [one], thou shalt be clear
<05355>
from my oath
<0423>_.
And I came
<0935> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto the well
<05869>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
O LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
if now thou do
<03426>
prosper
<06743> (8688)
my way
<01870>
which I go
<01980> (8802)_:
Behold, I stand
<05324> (8737)
by the well
<05869>
of water
<04325>_;
and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin
<05959>
cometh forth
<03318> (8802)
to draw
<07579> (8800)
[water], and I say
<0559> (8804)
to her, Give me
<08248> (0)_,
I pray thee, a little
<04592>
water
<04325>
of thy pitcher
<03537>
to drink
<08248> (8685)_;
And she say
<0559> (8804)
to me, Both drink
<08354> (8798)
thou, and I will also draw
<07579> (8799)
for thy camels
<01581>_:
[let] the same [be] the woman
<0802>
whom the LORD
<03068>
hath appointed out
<03198> (8689)
for my master's
<0113>
son
<01121>_.
And before I had done
<03615> (8762)
speaking
<01696> (8763)
in mine heart
<03820>_,
behold, Rebekah
<07259>
came forth
<03318> (8802)
with her pitcher
<03537>
on her shoulder
<07926>_;
and she went down
<03381> (8799)
unto the well
<05869>_,
and drew
<07579> (8799)
[water]: and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Let me drink
<08248> (8685)_,
I pray thee.
And she made haste
<04116> (8762)_,
and let down
<03381> (8686)
her pitcher
<03537>
from her [shoulder], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Drink
<08354> (8798)_,
and I will give
<08248> (0)
thy camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8686)
also: so I drank
<08354> (8799)_,
and she made
<08248> (0)
the camels
<01581>
drink
<08248> (8689)
also.
And I asked
<07592> (8799)
her, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Whose daughter
<01323>
[art] thou? And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
The daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>_,
Nahor's
<05152>
son
<01121>_,
whom Milcah
<04435>
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto him: and I put
<07760> (8799)
the earring
<05141>
upon her face
<0639>_,
and the bracelets
<06781>
upon her hands
<03027>_.
And I bowed down my head
<06915> (8799)_,
and worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of my master
<0113>
Abraham
<085>_,
which had led me
<05148> (8689)
in the right
<0571>
way
<01870>
to take
<03947> (8800)
my master's
<0113>
brother's
<0251>
daughter
<01323>
unto his son
<01121>_.
And now if ye will
<03426>
deal
<06213> (8802)
kindly
<02617>
and truly
<0571>
with my master
<0113>_,
tell
<05046> (8685)
me: and if not, tell
<05046> (8685)
me; that I may turn
<06437> (8799)
to the right hand
<03225>_,
or
<0176>
to the left
<08040>_.
Then Laban
<03837>
and Bethuel
<01328>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The thing
<01697>
proceedeth
<03318> (8804)
from the LORD
<03068>_:
we cannot
<03201> (8799)
speak
<01696> (8763)
unto thee bad
<07451>
or
<0176>
good
<02896>_.
Behold, Rebekah
<07259>
[is] before thee
<06440>_,
take
<03947> (8798)
[her], and go
<03212> (8798)_,
and let her be thy master's
<0113>
son's
<01121>
wife
<0802>_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_.
And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>
heard
<08085> (8804)
their words
<01697>_,
he worshipped
<07812> (8691)
the LORD
<03068>_,
[bowing himself] to the earth
<0776>_.
And the servant
<05650>
brought forth
<03318> (8686)
jewels
<03627>
of silver
<03701>_,
and jewels
<03627>
of gold
<02091>_,
and raiment
<0899>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] to Rebekah
<07259>_:
he gave
<05414> (8804)
also to her brother
<0251>
and to her mother
<0517>
precious things
<04030>_.
{jewels: Heb. vessels}
And they did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
he and the men
<0582>
that [were] with him, and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)_;
and they rose up
<06965> (8799)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send me away
<07971> (8761)
unto my master
<0113>_.
And her brother
<0251>
and her mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let the damsel
<05291>
abide
<03427> (8799)
with us [a few] days
<03117>_,
at the least
<0176>
ten
<06218>_;
after
<0310>
that she shall go
<03212> (8799)_.
{a few...: or, a full year, or ten months}
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Hinder me
<0309> (8762)
not, seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath prospered
<06743> (8689)
my way
<01870>_;
send me away
<07971> (8761)
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
to my master
<0113>_.
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We will call
<07121> (8799)
the damsel
<05291>_,
and enquire
<07592> (8799)
at her mouth
<06310>_.
And they called
<07121> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with this man
<0376>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go
<03212> (8799)_.
And they sent away
<07971> (8762)
Rebekah
<07259>
their sister
<0269>_,
and her nurse
<03243> (8688)_,
and Abraham's
<085>
servant
<05650>_,
and his men
<0582>_.
And they blessed
<01288> (8762)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Thou
<0859>
[art] our sister
<0269>_,
be thou
<01961> (8798)
[the mother] of thousands
<0505>
of millions
<07233>_,
and let thy seed
<02233>
possess
<03423> (8799)
the gate
<08179>
of those which hate
<08130> (8802)
them.
And Rebekah
<07259>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and her damsels
<05291>_,
and they rode
<07392> (8799)
upon the camels
<01581>_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
the man
<0376>_:
and the servant
<05650>
took
<03947> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and went his way
<03212> (8799)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
came
<0935> (8804)
from the way
<0935> (8800)
of the well Lahairoi
<0883>_;
for he dwelt
<03427> (8802)
in the south
<05045>
country
<0776>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meditate
<07742> (8800)
in the field
<07704>
at
<06437> (8800)
the eventide
<06153>_:
and he lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, the camels
<01581>
[were] coming
<0935> (8802)_.
{to meditate: or, to pray}
And Rebekah
<07259>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
her eyes
<05869>_,
and when she saw
<07200> (8799)
Isaac
<03327>_,
she lighted
<05307> (8799)
off
<05921>
the camel
<01581>_.
For she [had] said
<0559> (8799)
unto the servant
<05650>_,
What
<04310>
man
<0376>
[is] this
<01976>
that walketh
<01980> (8802)
in the field
<07704>
to meet us
<07125> (8800)_?
And the servant
<05650>
[had] said
<0559> (8799)_,
It [is] my master
<0113>_:
therefore she took
<03947> (8799)
a vail
<06809>_,
and covered herself
<03680> (8691)_.
And the servant
<05650>
told
<05608> (8762)
Isaac
<03327>
all things
<01697>
that he had done
<06213> (8804)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
brought her
<0935> (8686)
into his mother
<0517>
Sarah's
<08283>
tent
<0168>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
Rebekah
<07259>_,
and she became his wife
<0802>_;
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
her: and Isaac
<03327>
was comforted
<05162> (8735)
after
<0310>
his mother's
<0517>
[death].
Then again
<03254> (8686)
Abraham
<085>
took
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>_,
and her name
<08034>
[was] Keturah
<06989>_.
And she bare
<03205> (8799)
him Zimran
<02175>_,
and Jokshan
<03370>_,
and Medan
<04091>_,
and Midian
<04080>_,
and Ishbak
<03435>_,
and Shuah
<07744>_.
And Jokshan
<03370>
begat
<03205> (8804)
Sheba
<07614>_,
and Dedan
<01719>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Dedan
<01719>
were Asshurim
<0805>_,
and Letushim
<03912>_,
and Leummim
<03817>_.
And the sons
<01121>
of Midian
<04080>_;
Ephah
<05891>_,
and Epher
<06081>_,
and Hanoch
<02585>_,
and Abida
<028>_,
and Eldaah
<0420>_.
All these [were] the children
<01121>
of Keturah
<06989>_.
And Abraham
<085>
gave
<05414> (8799)
all that he had unto Isaac
<03327>_.
But unto the sons
<01121>
of the concubines
<06370>_,
which Abraham
<085>
had, Abraham
<085>
gave
<05414> (8804)
gifts
<04979>_,
and sent them away
<07971> (8762)
from Isaac
<03327>
his son
<01121>_,
while he yet lived
<02416>_,
eastward
<06924>_,
unto the east
<06924>
country
<0776>_.
And these [are] the days
<03117>
of the years
<08141>
of Abraham's
<085>
life
<02416>
which he lived
<02425> (8804)_,
an hundred
<03967> <08141>
threescore and fifteen
<07657> <08141> <02568>
years
<08141>_.
Then Abraham
<085>
gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)_,
and died
<04191> (8799)
in a good
<02896>
old age
<07872>_,
an old man
<02205>_,
and full
<07649>
[of years]; and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
to his people
<05971>_.
And his sons
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>
and Ishmael
<03458>
buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the cave
<04631>
of Machpelah
<04375>_,
in the field
<07704>
of Ephron
<06085>
the son
<01121>
of Zohar
<06714>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
which [is] before
<06440>
Mamre
<04471>_;
The field
<07704>
which Abraham
<085>
purchased
<07069> (8804)
of the sons
<01121>
of Heth
<02845>_:
there was Abraham
<085>
buried
<06912> (8795)_,
and Sarah
<08283>
his wife
<0802>_.
And it came to pass after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Abraham
<085>_,
that God
<0430>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
his son
<01121>
Isaac
<03327>_;
and Isaac
<03327>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
by
<05973>
the well Lahairoi
<0883>_.
Now these [are] the generations
<08435>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_,
whom Hagar
<01904>
the Egyptian
<04713>_,
Sarah's
<08283>
handmaid
<08198>_,
bare
<03205> (8804)
unto Abraham
<085>_:
And these [are] the names
<08034>
of the sons
<01121>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
by their names
<08034>_,
according to their generations
<08435>_:
the firstborn
<01060>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
Nebajoth
<05032>_;
and Kedar
<06938>_,
and Adbeel
<0110>_,
and Mibsam
<04017>_,
And Mishma
<04927>_,
and Dumah
<01746>_,
and Massa
<04854>_,
Hadar
<02316>_,
and Tema
<08485>_,
Jetur
<03195>_,
Naphish
<05305>_,
and Kedemah
<06929>_:
{Hadar: or, Hadad}
These [are] the sons
<01121>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
and these [are] their names
<08034>_,
by their towns
<02691>_,
and by their castles
<02918>_;
twelve
<08147> <06240>
princes
<05387>
according to their nations
<0523>_.
And these [are] the years
<08141>
of the life
<02416>
of Ishmael
<03458>_,
an hundred
<03967> <08141>
and thirty
<07970> <08141>
and seven
<07651>
years
<08141>_:
and he gave up the ghost
<01478> (8799)
and died
<04191> (8799)_;
and was gathered
<0622> (8735)
unto his people
<05971>_.
And they dwelt
<07931> (8799)
from Havilah
<02341>
unto Shur
<07793>_,
that [is] before
<06440>
Egypt
<04714>_,
as thou goest
<0935> (8800)
toward Assyria
<0804>_:
[and] he died
<05307> (8804)
in the presence
<06440>
of all his brethren
<0251>_.
{died: Heb. fell}
And these [are] the generations
<08435>
of Isaac
<03327>_,
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_:
Abraham
<085>
begat
<03205> (8689)
Isaac
<03327>_:
And Isaac
<03327>
was forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he took
<03947> (8800)
Rebekah
<07259>
to wife
<0802>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the Syrian
<0761>
of Padanaram
<06307>_,
the sister
<0269>
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
intreated
<06279> (8799)
the LORD
<03068>
for
<05227>
his wife
<0802>_,
because she [was] barren
<06135>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
was intreated
<06279> (8735)
of him, and Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_.
And the children
<01121>
struggled together
<07533> (8704)
within her
<07130>_;
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
If [it be] so, why [am] I thus
<02088>_?
And she went
<03212> (8799)
to enquire
<01875> (8800)
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, Two
<08147>
nations
<01471>
[are] in thy womb
<0990>_,
and two manner
<08147>
of people
<03816>
shall be separated
<06504> (8735)
from thy bowels
<04578>_;
and [the one] people
<03816>
shall be stronger
<0553> (8799)
than [the other] people
<03816>_;
and the elder
<07227>
shall serve
<05647> (8799)
the younger
<06810>_.
And when her days
<03117>
to be delivered
<03205> (8800)
were fulfilled
<04390> (8799)_,
behold, [there were] twins
<08380>
in her womb
<0990>_.
And the first
<07223>
came out
<03318> (8799)
red
<0132>_,
all over like an hairy
<08181>
garment
<0155>_;
and they called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Esau
<06215>_.
And after
<0310>
that came
<03318> (0)
his brother
<0251>
out
<03318> (8804)_,
and his hand
<03027>
took hold
<0270> (8802)
on Esau's
<06215>
heel
<06119>_;
and his name
<08034>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_:
and Isaac
<03327>
[was] threescore
<08346>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when she bare
<03205> (8800)
them.
And the boys
<05288>
grew
<01431> (8799)_:
and Esau
<06215>
was a cunning
<03045> (8802)
hunter
<06718>_,
a man
<0376>
of the field
<07704>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
[was] a plain
<08535>
man
<0376>_,
dwelling
<03427> (8802)
in tents
<0168>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Esau
<06215>_,
because he did eat
<06310>
of [his] venison
<06718>_:
but Rebekah
<07259>
loved
<0157> (8802)
Jacob
<03290>_.
{he...: Heb. venison was in his mouth}
And Jacob
<03290>
sod
<02102> (8686)
pottage
<05138>_:
and Esau
<06215>
came
<0935> (8799)
from the field
<07704>_,
and he [was] faint
<05889>_:
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
Feed
<03938> (8685)
me, I pray thee, with
<04480>
that same
<0122>
red
<0122>
[pottage]; for I [am] faint
<05889>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Edom
<0123>_.
{with...: Heb. with that red, with that red pottage} {Edom: that is Red}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Sell
<04376> (8798)
me this day
<03117>
thy birthright
<01062>_.
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I [am] at the point
<01980> (8802)
to die
<04191> (8800)_:
and what profit shall this birthright
<01062>
do to me? {at...: Heb. going to die}
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Swear
<07650> (8734)
to me this day
<03117>_;
and he sware
<07650> (8735)
unto him: and he sold
<04376> (8799)
his birthright
<01062>
unto Jacob
<03290>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
gave
<05414> (8804)
Esau
<06215>
bread
<03899>
and pottage
<05138>
of lentiles
<05742>_;
and he did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_,
and rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and went his way
<03212> (8799)_:
thus Esau
<06215>
despised
<0959> (8799)
[his] birthright
<01062>_.
And there was a famine
<07458>
in the land
<0776>_,
beside
<0905>
the first
<07223>
famine
<07458>
that was in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
went
<03212> (8799)
unto Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>
of the Philistines
<06430>
unto Gerar
<01642>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Go not down
<03381> (8799)
into Egypt
<04714>_;
dwell
<07931> (8798)
in the land
<0776>
which I shall tell
<0559> (8799)
thee of:
Sojourn
<01481> (8798)
in this land
<0776>_,
and I will be with thee, and will bless
<01288> (8762)
thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed
<02233>_,
I will give
<05414> (8799)
all these
<0411>
countries
<0776>_,
and I will perform
<06965> (8689)
the oath
<07621>
which I sware
<07650> (8738)
unto Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_;
And I will make
<07235> (0)
thy seed
<02233>
to multiply
<07235> (8689)
as the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
unto thy seed
<02233>
all these
<0411>
countries
<0776>_;
and in thy seed
<02233>
shall all the nations
<01471>
of the earth
<0776>
be blessed
<01288> (8694)_;
Because
<06118>
that Abraham
<085>
obeyed
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
and kept
<08104> (8799)
my charge
<04931>_,
my commandments
<04687>_,
my statutes
<02708>_,
and my laws
<08451>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
dwelt
<03427> (8799)
in Gerar
<01642>_:
And the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
asked
<07592> (8799)
[him] of his wife
<0802>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
She [is] my sister
<0269>_:
for he feared
<03372> (8804)
to say
<0559> (8800)_,
[She is] my wife
<0802>_;
lest, [said he], the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>
should kill
<02026> (8799)
me for Rebekah
<07259>_;
because she [was] fair
<02896>
to look upon
<04758>_.
And it came to pass, when he had been there a long
<0748> (8804)
time
<03117>_,
that Abimelech
<040>
king
<04428>
of the Philistines
<06430>
looked out
<08259> (8686)
at
<01157>
a window
<02474>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, Isaac
<03327>
[was] sporting
<06711> (8764)
with Rebekah
<07259>
his wife
<0802>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
called
<07121> (8799)
Isaac
<03327>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, of a surety
<0389>
she [is] thy wife
<0802>_:
and how saidst
<0559> (8804)
thou, She [is] my sister
<0269>_?
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Because I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Lest I die
<04191> (8799)
for her.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto us? one
<0259>
of the people
<05971>
might lightly
<04592>
have lien
<07901> (8804)
with thy wife
<0802>_,
and thou shouldest have brought
<0935> (8689)
guiltiness
<0817>
upon us.
And Abimelech
<040>
charged
<06680> (8762)
all [his] people
<05971>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
He that toucheth
<05060> (8802)
this man
<0376>
or his wife
<0802>
shall surely
<04191> (8800)
be put to death
<04191> (8714)_.
Then Isaac
<03327>
sowed
<02232> (8799)
in that land
<0776>_,
and received
<04672> (8799)
in the same year
<08141>
an hundredfold
<03967> <08180>_:
and the LORD
<03068>
blessed
<01288> (8762)
him. {received: Heb. found}
And the man
<0376>
waxed great
<01431> (8799)_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
forward
<01980> (8800)_,
and grew
<01432>
until he became
<01431> (0)
very
<03966>
great
<01431> (8804)_:
{went...: Heb. went going}
For he had possession
<04735>
of flocks
<06629>_,
and possession
<04735>
of herds
<01241>_,
and great store
<07227>
of servants
<05657>_:
and the Philistines
<06430>
envied
<07065> (8762)
him. {servants: or, husbandry}
For all the wells
<0875>
which his father's
<01>
servants
<05650>
had digged
<02658> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>
his father
<01>_,
the Philistines
<06430>
had stopped
<05640> (8765)
them, and filled
<04390> (8762)
them with earth
<06083>_.
And Abimelech
<040>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
from us; for thou art much
<03966>
mightier
<06105> (8804)
than we.
And Isaac
<03327>
departed
<03212> (8799)
thence, and pitched his tent
<02583> (8799)
in the valley
<05158>
of Gerar
<01642>_,
and dwelt
<03427> (8799)
there
<08033>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
digged
<02658> (8799)
again
<07725> (8799)
the wells
<0875>
of water
<04325>_,
which they had digged
<02658> (8804)
in the days
<03117>
of Abraham
<085>
his father
<01>_;
for the Philistines
<06430>
had stopped
<05640> (8762)
them after
<0310>
the death
<04194>
of Abraham
<085>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
their names
<08034>
after the names
<08034>
by which
<0834>
his father
<01>
had called
<07121> (8804)
them.
And Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
digged
<02658> (8799)
in the valley
<05158>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
there a well
<0875>
of springing
<02416>
water
<04325>_.
{springing: Heb. living}
And the herdmen
<07462> (8802)
of Gerar
<01642>
did strive
<07378> (8799)
with Isaac's
<03327>
herdmen
<07462> (8802)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The water
<04325>
[is] ours: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the well
<0875>
Esek
<06230>_;
because they strove
<06229> (8694)
with him. {Esek: that is, Contention}
And they digged
<02658> (8799)
another
<0312>
well
<0875>_,
and strove
<07378> (8799)
for that also: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name of it
<08034>
Sitnah
<07856>_.
{Sitnah: that is, Hatred}
And he removed
<06275> (8686)
from thence, and digged
<02658> (8799)
another
<0312>
well
<0875>_;
and for that they strove
<07378> (8804)
not: and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name of it
<08034>
Rehoboth
<07344>_;
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
For now
<06258>
the LORD
<03068>
hath made room
<07337> (8689)
for us, and we shall be fruitful
<06509> (8804)
in the land
<0776>_.
{Rehoboth: that is Room}
And he went up
<05927> (8799)
from thence to Beersheba
<0884>_.
And the LORD
<03068>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto him the same night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_:
fear
<03372> (8799)
not, for I [am] with
<0854>
thee, and will bless
<01288> (8765)
thee, and multiply
<07235> (8689)
thy seed
<02233>
for my servant
<05650>
Abraham's
<085>
sake.
And he builded
<01129> (8799)
an altar
<04196>
there, and called
<07121> (8799)
upon the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and pitched
<05186> (8799)
his tent
<0168>
there: and there Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
digged
<03738> (8799)
a well
<0875>_.
Then Abimelech
<040>
went
<01980> (8804)
to him from Gerar
<01642>_,
and Ahuzzath
<0276>
one of his friends
<04828>_,
and Phichol
<06369>
the chief captain
<08269>
of his army
<06635>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Wherefore
<04069>
come
<0935> (8804)
ye to me, seeing ye hate
<08130> (8804)
me, and have sent me away
<07971> (8762)
from you?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We saw
<07200> (8804)
certainly
<07200> (8800)
that the LORD
<03068>
was with thee: and we said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let there be now an oath
<0423>
betwixt
<0996>
us, [even] betwixt
<0996>
us and thee, and let us make
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>
with thee; {We saw...: Heb. Seeing we saw}
That thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)
us no hurt
<07451>_,
as we have not touched
<05060> (8804)
thee, and as we have done
<06213> (8804)
unto thee nothing but
<07535>
good
<02896>_,
and have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)
in peace
<07965>_:
thou [art] now
<06258>
the blessed
<01288> (8803)
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{That...: Heb. If thou shalt}
And he made
<06213> (8799)
them a feast
<04960>_,
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
and drink
<08354> (8799)_.
And they rose up betimes
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and sware
<07650> (8735)
one
<0376>
to another
<0251>_:
and Isaac
<03327>
sent them away
<07971> (8762)_,
and they departed
<03212> (8799)
from him in peace
<07965>_.
And it came to pass the same day
<03117>_,
that Isaac's
<03327>
servants
<05650>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
and told
<05046> (8686)
him concerning
<0182>
the well
<0875>
which they had digged
<02658> (8804)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, We have found
<04672> (8804)
water
<04325>_.
And he called
<07121> (8799)
it Shebah
<07656>_:
therefore the name
<08034>
of the city
<05892>
[is] Beersheba
<0884>
unto this day
<03117>_.
{Shebah: That is, an oath} {Beersheba: that is, the well of the oath}
And Esau
<06215>
was forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he took
<03947> (8799)
to wife
<0802>
Judith
<03067>
the daughter
<01323>
of Beeri
<0882>
the Hittite
<02850>_,
and Bashemath
<01315>
the daughter
<01323>
of Elon
<0356>
the Hittite
<02850>_:
Which were a grief
<04786>
of mind
<07307>
unto Isaac
<03327>
and to Rebekah
<07259>_.
{a grief...: Heb. bitterness of spirit}
And it came to pass
<01961> (8799)_,
that when Isaac
<03327>
was old
<02204> (8804)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
were dim
<03543> (8799)_,
so that he could not see
<07200> (8800)_,
he called
<07121> (8799)
Esau
<06215>
his eldest
<01419>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, My son
<01121>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold now, I am old
<02204> (8804)_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
not the day
<03117>
of my death
<04194>_:
Now therefore take
<05375> (8798)_,
I pray thee, thy weapons
<03627>_,
thy quiver
<08522>
and thy bow
<07198>_,
and go out
<03318> (8798)
to the field
<07704>_,
and take
<06679> (8798)
me [some] venison
<06718> (8675) <06720>_;
{take: Heb. hunt}
And make
<06213> (8798)
me savoury meat
<04303>_,
such as
<0834>
I love
<0157> (8804)_,
and bring
<0935> (8685)
[it] to me, that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_;
that my soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<02962>
I die
<04191> (8799)_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
heard
<08085> (8802)
when Isaac
<03327>
spake
<01696> (8763)
to Esau
<06215>
his son
<01121>_.
And Esau
<06215>
went
<03212> (8799)
to the field
<07704>
to hunt
<06679> (8800)
[for] venison
<06718>_,
[and] to bring
<0935> (8687)
[it].
And Rebekah
<07259>
spake
<0559> (8804)
unto Jacob
<03290>
her son
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Behold, I heard
<08085> (8804)
thy father
<01>
speak
<01696> (8764)
unto Esau
<06215>
thy brother
<0251>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Bring
<0935> (8685)
me venison
<06718>_,
and make
<06213> (8798)
me savoury meat
<04303>_,
that I may eat
<0398> (8799)_,
and bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>
before
<06440>
my death
<04194>_.
Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,
obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>
according to that which
<0834>
I command
<06680> (8764)
thee.
Go
<03212> (8798)
now to the flock
<06629>_,
and fetch
<03947> (8798)
me from thence two
<08147>
good
<02896>
kids
<01423>
of the goats
<05795>_;
and I will make
<06213> (8799)
them savoury meat
<04303>
for thy father
<01>_,
such as he loveth
<0157> (8804)_:
And thou shalt bring
<0935> (8689)
[it] to thy father
<01>_,
that he may eat
<0398> (8804)_,
and that
<0834>
he may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee before
<06440>
his death
<04194>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Rebekah
<07259>
his mother
<0517>_,
Behold, Esau
<06215>
my brother
<0251>
[is] a hairy
<08163>
man
<0376>_,
and I [am] a smooth
<02509>
man
<0376>_:
My father
<01>
peradventure will feel
<04959> (8799)
me, and I shall seem
<05869>
to him as a deceiver
<08591> (8772)_;
and I shall bring
<0935> (8689)
a curse
<07045>
upon me, and not a blessing
<01293>_.
And his mother
<0517>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse
<07045>_,
my son
<01121>_:
only obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
fetch
<03947> (8798)
me [them].
And he went
<03212> (8799)_,
and fetched
<03947> (8799)_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[them] to his mother
<0517>_:
and his mother
<0517>
made
<06213> (8799)
savoury meat
<04303>_,
such as his father
<01>
loved
<0157> (8804)_.
And Rebekah
<07259>
took
<03947> (8799)
goodly
<02532>
raiment
<0899>
of her eldest
<01419>
son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>_,
which [were] with her in the house
<01004>_,
and put them upon
<03847> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>
her younger
<06996>
son
<01121>_:
{goodly: Heb. desirable}
And she put
<03847> (8689)
the skins
<05785>
of the kids
<01423>
of the goats
<05795>
upon his hands
<03027>_,
and upon the smooth
<02513>
of his neck
<06677>_:
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
the savoury meat
<04303>
and the bread
<03899>_,
which she had prepared
<06213> (8804)_,
into the hand
<03027>
of her son
<01121>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And he came
<0935> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My father
<01>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son
<01121>_?
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
I [am] Esau
<06215>
thy firstborn
<01060>_;
I have done
<06213> (8804)
according as thou badest
<01696> (8765)
me: arise
<06965> (8798)_,
I pray thee, sit
<03427> (8798)
and eat
<0398> (8798)
of my venison
<06718>_,
that thy soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
me.
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his son
<01121>_,
How [is it] that thou hast found
<04672> (8800)
[it] so quickly
<04116> (8765)_,
my son
<01121>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
thy God
<0430>
brought
<07136> (8689)
[it] to me
<06440>_.
{to me: Heb. before me}
And Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Come near
<05066> (8798)_,
I pray thee, that I may feel
<04184> (8799)
thee, my son
<01121>_,
whether thou [be] my very
<02088>
son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>
or not.
And Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)
unto Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_;
and he felt
<04959> (8799)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
The voice
<06963>
[is] Jacob's
<03290>
voice
<06963>_,
but the hands
<03027>
[are] the hands
<03027>
of Esau
<06215>_.
And he discerned
<05234> (8689)
him not, because his hands
<03027>
were hairy
<08163>_,
as his brother
<0251>
Esau's
<06215>
hands
<03027>_:
so he blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou my very son
<01121>
Esau
<06215>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Bring [it] near
<05066> (8685)
to me, and I will eat
<0398> (8799)
of my son's
<01121>
venison
<06718>_,
that my soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
thee. And he brought [it] near
<05066> (8686)
to him, and he did eat
<0398> (8799)_:
and he brought
<0935> (8686)
him wine
<03196>_,
and he drank
<08354> (8799)_.
And his father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Come near
<05066> (8798)
now, and kiss
<05401> (8798)
me, my son
<01121>_.
And he came near
<05066> (8799)_,
and kissed
<05401> (8799)
him: and he smelled
<07306> (8686)
the smell
<07381>
of his raiment
<0899>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
See
<07200> (8798)_,
the smell
<07381>
of my son
<01121>
[is] as the smell
<07381>
of a field
<07704>
which the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8765)_:
Therefore God
<0430>
give
<05414> (8799)
thee of the dew
<02919>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and the fatness
<04924>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and plenty
<07230>
of corn
<01715>
and wine
<08492>_:
Let people
<05971>
serve
<05647> (8799)
thee, and nations
<03816>
bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee: be
<01933> (8798)
lord
<01376>
over thy brethren
<0251>_,
and let thy mother's
<0517>
sons
<01121>
bow down
<07812> (8691)
to thee: cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] every one that curseth
<0779> (8802)
thee, and blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] he that blesseth
<01288> (8764)
thee.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac
<03327>
had made an end
<03615> (8765)
of blessing
<01288> (8763)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and Jacob
<03290>
was yet
<0389>
scarce
<03318> (8800)
gone out
<03318> (8804)
from the presence
<06440>
of Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_,
that Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>
came in
<0935> (8804)
from his hunting
<06718>_.
And he also had made
<06213> (8799)
savoury meat
<04303>_,
and brought it
<0935> (8686)
unto his father
<01>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Let my father
<01>
arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and eat
<0398> (8799)
of his son's
<01121>
venison
<06718>_,
that thy soul
<05315>
may bless
<01288> (8762)
me.
And Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Who [art] thou? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] thy son
<01121>_,
thy firstborn
<01060>
Esau
<06215>_.
And Isaac
<03327>
trembled
<02729> (8799)
very
<01419>
exceedingly
<03966> <02731>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who? where
<0645>
[is] he that hath taken
<06679> (8801)
venison
<06718>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
[it] me, and I have eaten
<0398> (8799)
of all before thou camest
<0935> (8799)_,
and have blessed
<01288> (8762)
him? yea, [and] he shall be blessed
<01288> (8803)_.
{trembled...: Heb. trembled with a great trembling greatly} {taken: Heb. hunted}
And when Esau
<06215>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of his father
<01>_,
he cried
<06817> (8799)
with a great
<01419>
and exceeding
<03966>
bitter
<04751>
cry
<06818>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Bless
<01288> (8761)
me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy brother
<0251>
came
<0935> (8804)
with subtilty
<04820>_,
and hath taken away
<03947> (8799)
thy blessing
<01293>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Is not he rightly
<03588>
named
<07121> (8804) <08034>
Jacob
<03290>_?
for he hath supplanted me
<06117> (8799)
these
<02088>
two times
<06471>_:
he took away
<03947> (8804)
my birthright
<01062>_;
and, behold, now he hath taken away
<03947> (8804)
my blessing
<01293>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hast thou not reserved
<0680> (8804)
a blessing
<01293>
for me? {Jacob: that is, A supplanter}
And Isaac
<03327>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Esau
<06215>_,
Behold, I have made
<07760> (8804)
him thy lord
<01376>_,
and all his brethren
<0251>
have I given
<05414> (8804)
to him for servants
<05650>_;
and with corn
<01715>
and wine
<08492>
have I sustained
<05564> (8804)
him: and what shall I do
<06213> (8799)
now
<0645>
unto thee, my son
<01121>_?
{sustained: or, supported}
And Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
Hast thou but one
<0259>
blessing
<01293>_,
my father
<01>_?
bless
<01288> (8761)
me, [even] me also, O my father
<01>_.
And Esau
<06215>
lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thy dwelling
<04186>
shall be the fatness
<04924>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and of the dew
<02919>
of heaven
<08064>
from above
<05920>_;
{the fatness: or, of the fatness}
And by thy sword
<02719>
shalt thou live
<02421> (8799)_,
and shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
thy brother
<0251>_;
and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion
<07300> (8686)_,
that thou shalt break
<06561> (8804)
his yoke
<05923>
from off thy neck
<06677>_.
And Esau
<06215>
hated
<07852> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
because
<05921>
of the blessing
<01293>
wherewith
<0834>
his father
<01>
blessed him
<01288> (8765)_:
and Esau
<06215>
said
<0559> (8799)
in his heart
<03820>_,
The days
<03117>
of mourning
<060>
for my father
<01>
are at hand
<07126> (8799)_;
then will I slay
<02026> (8799)
my brother
<0251>
Jacob
<03290>_.
And these words
<01697>
of Esau
<06215>
her elder
<01419>
son
<01121>
were told
<05046> (8714)
to Rebekah
<07259>_:
and she sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
her younger
<06996>
son
<01121>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Behold, thy brother
<0251>
Esau
<06215>_,
as touching thee, doth comfort
<05162> (8693)
himself, [purposing] to kill
<02026> (8800)
thee.
Now therefore, my son
<01121>_,
obey
<08085> (8798)
my voice
<06963>_;
and arise
<06965> (8798)_,
flee
<01272> (8798)
thou to Laban
<03837>
my brother
<0251>
to Haran
<02771>_;
And tarry
<03427> (8804)
with him a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
until
<0834>
thy brother's
<0251>
fury
<02534>
turn away
<07725> (8799)_;
Until thy brother's
<0251>
anger
<0639>
turn away
<07725> (8800)
from thee, and he forget
<07911> (8804)
[that] which thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
to him: then I will send
<07971> (8804)_,
and fetch
<03947> (8804)
thee from thence: why
<04100>
should I be deprived
<07921> (8799)
also of you both
<08147>
in one
<0259>
day
<03117>_?
And Rebekah
<07259>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Isaac
<03327>_,
I am weary
<06973> (8804)
of my life
<02416>
because
<06440>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Heth
<02845>_:
if Jacob
<03290>
take
<03947> (8802)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Heth
<02845>_,
such as these [which are] of the daughters
<01323>
of the land
<0776>_,
what good
<04100>
shall my life
<02416>
do me?
And Isaac
<03327>
called
<07121> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him, and charged
<06680> (8762)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go
<03212> (8798)
to Padanaram
<06307>_,
to the house
<01004>
of Bethuel
<01328>
thy mother's
<0517>
father
<01>_;
and take
<03947> (8798)
thee a wife
<0802>
from thence of the daughters
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
thy mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
And God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>
bless
<01288> (8762)
thee, and make thee fruitful
<06509> (8686)_,
and multiply
<07235> (8686)
thee, that thou mayest be a multitude
<06951>
of people
<05971>_;
{a multitude...: Heb. an assembly of people}
And give
<05414> (8799)
thee the blessing
<01293>
of Abraham
<085>_,
to thee, and to thy seed
<02233>
with thee; that thou mayest inherit
<03423> (8800)
the land
<0776>
wherein thou art a stranger
<04033>_,
which God
<0430>
gave
<05414> (8804)
unto Abraham
<085>_.
{wherein...: Heb. of thy sojournings}
And Isaac
<03327>
sent away
<07971> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>_:
and he went
<03212> (8799)
to Padanaram
<06307>
unto Laban
<03837>_,
son
<01121>
of Bethuel
<01328>
the Syrian
<0761>_,
the brother
<0251>
of Rebekah
<07259>_,
Jacob's
<03290>
and Esau's
<06215>
mother
<0517>_.
When Esau
<06215>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Isaac
<03327>
had blessed
<01288> (8765)
Jacob
<03290>_,
and sent him away
<07971> (8765)
to Padanaram
<06307>_,
to take
<03947> (8800)
him a wife
<0802>
from thence; and that as he blessed
<01288> (8763)
him he gave him a charge
<06680> (8762)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thou shalt not take
<03947> (8799)
a wife
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>_;
And that Jacob
<03290>
obeyed
<08085> (8799)
his father
<01>
and his mother
<0517>_,
and was gone
<03212> (8799)
to Padanaram
<06307>_;
And Esau
<06215>
seeing
<07200> (8799)
that the daughters
<01323>
of Canaan
<03667>
pleased
<05869>
not
<07451>
Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>_;
{pleased...: Heb. were evil in the eyes, etc}
Then went
<03212> (8799)
Esau
<06215>
unto Ishmael
<03458>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
unto the wives
<0802>
which he had Mahalath
<04258>
the daughter
<01323>
of Ishmael
<03458>
Abraham's
<085>
son
<01121>_,
the sister
<0269>
of Nebajoth
<05032>_,
to be his wife
<0802>_.
{Mahalath: or, Bashemath}
And Jacob
<03290>
went out
<03318> (8799)
from Beersheba
<0884>_,
and went
<03212> (8799)
toward Haran
<02771>_.
{Haran: Gr. Charran}
And he lighted
<06293> (8799)
upon a certain place
<04725>_,
and tarried there all night
<03885> (8799)_,
because the sun
<08121>
was set
<0935> (8804)_;
and he took
<03947> (8799)
of the stones
<068>
of that place
<04725>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
[them for] his pillows
<04763>_,
and lay down
<07901> (0)
in that place
<04725>
to sleep
<07901> (8799)_.
And he dreamed
<02492> (8799)_,
and behold a ladder
<05551>
set up
<05324> (8716)
on the earth
<0776>_,
and the top of it
<07218>
reached
<05060> (8688)
to heaven
<08064>_:
and behold the angels
<04397>
of God
<0430>
ascending
<05927> (8802)
and descending
<03381> (8802)
on it.
And, behold, the LORD
<03068>
stood
<05324> (8737)
above it, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>
thy father
<01>_,
and the God
<0430>
of Isaac
<03327>_:
the land
<0776>
whereon thou liest
<07901> (8802)_,
to thee will I give it
<05414> (8799)_,
and to thy seed
<02233>_;
And thy seed
<02233>
shall be as the dust
<06083>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and thou shalt spread abroad
<06555> (8804)
to the west
<03220>_,
and to the east
<06924>_,
and to the north
<06828>_,
and to the south
<05045>_:
and in thee and in thy seed
<02233>
shall all the families
<04940>
of the earth
<0127>
be blessed
<01288> (8738)_.
{spread...: Heb. break forth}
And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep
<08104> (8804)
thee in all [places] whither
<0834>
thou goest
<03212> (8799)_,
and will bring thee again
<07725> (8689)
into this land
<0127>_;
for I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee, until
<0834>
I have done
<06213> (8804)
[that] which I have spoken
<01696> (8765)
to thee of.
And Jacob
<03290>
awaked
<03364> (8799)
out of his sleep
<08142>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Surely
<0403>
the LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
in this place
<04725>_;
and I knew
<03045> (8804)
[it] not.
And he was afraid
<03372> (8799)_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
How dreadful
<03372> (8737)
[is] this place
<04725>_!
this [is] none other but the house
<01004>
of God
<0430>_,
and this [is] the gate
<08179>
of heaven
<08064>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
rose up early
<07925> (8686)
in the morning
<01242>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
the stone
<068>
that he had put
<07760> (8804)
[for] his pillows
<04763>_,
and set it up
<07760> (8799)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_,
and poured
<03332> (8799)
oil
<08081>
upon the top of it
<07218>_.
And he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Bethel
<01008>_:
but
<0199>
the name
<08034>
of that city
<05892>
[was called] Luz
<03870>
at the first
<07223>_.
{Bethel: that is, The house of God}
And Jacob
<03290>
vowed
<05087> (8799)
a vow
<05088>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
If God
<0430>
will be with me, and will keep me
<08104> (8804)
in this way
<01870>
that I go
<01980> (8802)_,
and will give
<05414> (8804)
me bread
<03899>
to eat
<0398> (8800)_,
and raiment
<0899>
to put on
<03847> (8800)_,
So that I come again
<07725> (8804)
to my father's
<01>
house
<01004>
in peace
<07965>_;
then shall the LORD
<03068>
be my God
<0430>_:
And this stone
<068>_,
which I have set
<07760> (8804)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_,
shall be God's
<0430>
house
<01004>_:
and of all that thou shalt give
<05414> (8799)
me I will surely
<06237> (8763)
give the tenth
<06237> (8762)
unto thee.
Then Jacob
<03290>
went on
<05375> (8799)
his journey
<07272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
into the land
<0776>
of the people
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
{went...: Heb. lift up his feet} {people: Heb. children}
And he looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and behold a well
<0875>
in the field
<07704>_,
and, lo, there [were] three
<07969>
flocks
<05739>
of sheep
<06629>
lying
<07257> (8802)
by it; for out of that well
<0875>
they watered
<08248> (8686)
the flocks
<05739>_:
and a great
<01419>
stone
<068>
[was] upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_.
And thither were all the flocks
<05739>
gathered
<0622> (8738)_:
and they rolled
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_,
and put
<07725> (0)
the stone
<068>
again
<07725> (8689)
upon the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>
in his place
<04725>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, My brethren
<0251>_,
whence
<0370>
[be] ye? And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Of Haran
<02771>
[are] we.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, Know
<03045> (8804)
ye Laban
<03837>
the son
<01121>
of Nahor
<05152>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We know
<03045> (8804)
[him].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, [Is] he well
<07965>_?
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
[He is] well
<07965>_:
and, behold, Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
cometh
<0935> (8802)
with the sheep
<06629>_.
{Is he...: Heb. Is there peace to him?}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lo
<02005>_,
[it is] yet high
<01419>
day
<03117>_,
neither [is it] time
<06256>
that the cattle
<04735>
should be gathered together
<0622> (8736)_:
water
<08248> (8685)
ye the sheep
<06629>_,
and go
<03212> (8798)
[and] feed
<07462> (8798)
[them]. {it is...: Heb. yet the day is great}
And they said
<0559> (8799)_,
We cannot
<03201> (8799)_,
until all the flocks
<05739>
be gathered together
<0622> (8735)_,
and [till] they roll
<01556> (8804)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_;
then we water
<08248> (8689)
the sheep
<06629>_.
And while he yet
<05750>
spake
<01696> (8764)
with them, Rachel
<07354>
came
<0935> (8804)
with her father's
<01>
sheep
<06629>_:
for she kept them
<07462> (8802)_.
And it came to pass, when Jacob
<03290>
saw
<07200> (8804)
Rachel
<07354>
the daughter
<01323>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
and the sheep
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
went near
<05066> (8799)_,
and rolled
<01556> (8686)
the stone
<068>
from the well's
<0875>
mouth
<06310>_,
and watered
<08248> (8686)
the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>
his mother's
<0517>
brother
<0251>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
kissed
<05401> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and lifted up
<05375> (8799)
his voice
<06963>_,
and wept
<01058> (8799)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
told
<05046> (8686)
Rachel
<07354>
that he [was] her father's
<01>
brother
<0251>_,
and that he [was] Rebekah's
<07259>
son
<01121>_:
and she ran
<07323> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
her father
<01>_.
And it came to pass, when Laban
<03837>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the tidings
<08088>
of Jacob
<03290>
his sister's
<0269>
son
<01121>_,
that he ran
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and embraced
<02263> (8762)
him, and kissed
<05401> (8762)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his house
<01004>_.
And he told
<05608> (8762)
Laban
<03837>
all these things
<01697>_.
{tidings: Heb. hearing}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Surely
<0389>
thou [art] my bone
<06106>
and my flesh
<01320>_.
And he abode
<03427> (8799)
with him the space
<03117>
of a month
<02320>_.
{the space...: Heb. a month of days}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Because thou [art] my brother
<0251>_,
shouldest thou therefore serve
<05647> (8804)
me for nought
<02600>_?
tell
<05046> (8685)
me, what [shall] thy wages
<04909>
[be]?
And Laban
<03837>
had two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_:
the name
<08034>
of the elder
<01419>
[was] Leah
<03812>_,
and the name
<08034>
of the younger
<06996>
[was] Rachel
<07354>_.
Leah
<03812>
[was] tender
<07390>
eyed
<05869>_;
but Rachel
<07354>
was beautiful
<03303> <08389>
and well
<03303>
favoured
<04758>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will serve
<05647> (8799)
thee seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>
thy younger
<06996>
daughter
<01323>_.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] better
<02896>
that I give
<05414> (8800)
her to thee, than that I should give
<05414> (8800)
her to another
<0312>
man
<0376>_:
abide
<03427> (8798)
with me.
And Jacob
<03290>
served
<05647> (8799)
seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
for Rachel
<07354>_;
and they seemed
<05869>
unto him [but] a few
<0259>
days
<03117>_,
for the love he had
<0160>
to her.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
[me] my wife
<0802>_,
for my days
<03117>
are fulfilled
<04390> (8804)_,
that I may go in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gathered together
<0622> (8799)
all the men
<0582>
of the place
<04725>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
a feast
<04960>_.
And it came to pass in the evening
<06153>_,
that he took
<03947> (8799)
Leah
<03812>
his daughter
<01323>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
her to him; and he went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
unto his daughter
<01323>
Leah
<03812>
Zilpah
<02153>
his maid
<08198>
[for] an handmaid
<08198>_.
And it came to pass, that in the morning
<01242>_,
behold, it [was] Leah
<03812>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] this thou hast done
<06213> (8804)
unto me? did not I serve
<05647> (8804)
with thee for Rachel
<07354>_?
wherefore then hast thou beguiled
<07411> (8765)
me?
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
It must not be so done
<06213> (8735)
in our country
<04725>_,
to give
<05414> (8800)
the younger
<06810>
before
<06440>
the firstborn
<01067>_.
{country: Heb. place}
Fulfil
<04390> (8761)
her
<02063>
week
<07620>_,
and we will give
<05414> (8799)
thee this also for the service
<05656>
which thou shalt serve
<05647> (8799)
with me yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
did
<06213> (8799)
so, and fulfilled
<04390> (8762)
her week
<07620>_:
and he gave
<05414> (8799)
him Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
to wife
<0802>
also.
And Laban
<03837>
gave
<05414> (8799)
to Rachel
<07354>
his daughter
<01323>
Bilhah
<01090>
his handmaid
<08198>
to be her maid
<08198>_.
And he went in
<0935> (8799)
also unto Rachel
<07354>_,
and he loved
<0157> (8799)
also Rachel
<07354>
more than Leah
<03812>_,
and served
<05647> (8799)
with him yet seven
<07651>
other
<0312>
years
<08141>_.
And when the LORD
<03068>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that Leah
<03812>
[was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_:
but Rachel
<07354>
[was] barren
<06135>_.
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_,
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Reuben
<07205>_:
for
<03588>
she said
<0559> (8804)_,
Surely
<03588>
the LORD
<03068>
hath looked
<07200> (8804)
upon my affliction
<06040>_;
now therefore
<03588>
my husband
<0376>
will love
<0157> (8799)
me. {Reuben: that is, See a son}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
that I [was] hated
<08130> (8803)_,
he hath therefore given
<05414> (8799)
me this [son] also: and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Simeon
<08095>_.
{Simeon: that is, Hearing}
And she conceived again
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now this time
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
be joined
<03867> (8735)
unto me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him three
<07969>
sons
<01121>_:
therefore was his name
<08034>
called
<07121> (8804)
Levi
<03878>_.
{Levi: that is, Joined}
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_:
and she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Now
<06471>
will I praise
<03034> (8686)
the LORD
<03068>_:
therefore she called
<07121> (8804)
his name
<08034>
Judah
<03063>_;
and left
<05975> (8799)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_.
{Judah: that is, Praise} {left...: Heb. stood from bearing}
And when Rachel
<07354>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she bare
<03205> (8804)
Jacob
<03290>
no children, Rachel
<07354>
envied
<07065> (8762)
her sister
<0269>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Give
<03051> (8798)
me children
<01121>_,
or else
<0369>
I die
<04191> (8801)_.
And Jacob's
<03290>
anger
<0639>
was kindled
<02734> (8799)
against Rachel
<07354>_:
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Am] I in God's
<0430>
stead, who hath withheld
<04513> (8804)
from thee the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_?
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold my maid
<0519>
Bilhah
<01090>_,
go in
<0935> (8798)
unto her; and she shall bear
<03205> (8799)
upon my knees
<01290>_,
that I may also have children
<01129> (8735)
by her. {have...: Heb. be built by her}
And she gave
<05414> (8799)
him Bilhah
<01090>
her handmaid
<08198>
to wife
<0802>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
went in
<0935> (8799)
unto her.
And Bilhah
<01090>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath judged
<01777> (8804)
me, and hath also heard
<08085> (8804)
my voice
<06963>_,
and hath given
<05414> (8799)
me a son
<01121>_:
therefore called
<07121> (8804)
she his name
<08034>
Dan
<01835>_.
{Dan: that is, Judging}
And Bilhah
<01090>
Rachel's
<07354>
maid
<08198>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
With great
<0430>
wrestlings
<05319>
have I wrestled
<06617> (8738)
with my sister
<0269>_,
and I have prevailed
<03201> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Naphtali
<05321>_.
{great...: Heb. wrestlings of God} {Naphtali: that is, My wrestling: Gr. Nephthalim}
When Leah
<03812>
saw
<07200> (8799)
that she had left
<05975> (8804)
bearing
<03205> (8800)_,
she took
<03947> (8799)
Zilpah
<02153>
her maid
<08198>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
her Jacob
<03290>
to wife
<0802>_.
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
A troop
<01409>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Gad
<01410>_.
{Gad: that is, A troop, or, company}
And Zilpah
<02153>
Leah's
<03812>
maid
<08198>
bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
a second
<08145>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Happy am I
<0837>_,
for the daughters
<01323>
will call me blessed
<0833> (8765)_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Asher
<0836>_.
{Happy...: Heb. In my happiness} {Asher: that is, Happy}
And Reuben
<07205>
went in
<03212> (8799)
the days
<03117>
of wheat
<02406>
harvest
<07105>_,
and found
<04672> (8799)
mandrakes
<01736>
in the field
<07704>_,
and brought
<0935> (8686)
them unto his mother
<0517>
Leah
<03812>_.
Then Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Leah
<03812>_,
Give me
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray thee, of thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, [Is it] a small matter
<04592>
that thou hast taken
<03947> (8800)
my husband
<0376>_?
and wouldest thou take away
<03947> (8800)
my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>
also? And Rachel
<07354>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Therefore he shall lie
<07901> (8799)
with thee to night
<03915>
for
<08478>
thy son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
out of the field
<07704>
in the evening
<06153>_,
and Leah
<03812>
went out
<03318> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou must come in
<0935> (8799)
unto me; for surely
<07936> (8800)
I have hired
<07936> (8804)
thee with my son's
<01121>
mandrakes
<01736>_.
And he lay
<07901> (8799)
with her that night
<03915>_.
And God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
unto Leah
<03812>_,
and she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the fifth
<02549>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath given
<05414> (8804)
me my hire
<07939>_,
because
<0834>
I have given
<05414> (8804)
my maiden
<08198>
to my husband
<0376>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Issachar
<03485>_.
{Issachar: that is, An hire}
And Leah
<03812>
conceived
<02029> (8799)
again, and bare
<03205> (8799)
Jacob
<03290>
the sixth
<08345>
son
<01121>_.
And Leah
<03812>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath endued
<02064> (8804)
me [with] a good
<02896>
dowry
<02065>_;
now
<06471>
will my husband
<0376>
dwell
<02082> (8799)
with me, because I have born
<03205> (8804)
him six
<08337>
sons
<01121>_:
and she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Zebulun
<02074>_.
{Zebulun: that is, Dwelling: Gr. Zabulon}
And afterwards
<0310>
she bare
<03205> (8804)
a daughter
<01323>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
her name
<08034>
Dinah
<01783>_.
{Dinah: that is Judgment}
And God
<0430>
remembered
<02142> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>_,
and God
<0430>
hearkened
<08085> (8799)
to her, and opened
<06605> (8799)
her womb
<07358>_.
And she conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>_;
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
hath taken away
<0622> (8804)
my reproach
<02781>_:
And she called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Joseph
<03130>_;
and said
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
shall add
<03254> (8686)
to me another
<0312>
son
<01121>_.
{Joseph: that is, Adding}
And it came to pass, when Rachel
<07354>
had born
<03205> (8804)
Joseph
<03130>_,
that Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Laban
<03837>_,
Send me away
<07971> (8761)_,
that I may go
<03212> (8799)
unto mine own place
<04725>_,
and to my country
<0776>_.
Give
<05414> (8798)
[me] my wives
<0802>
and my children
<03206>_,
for
<02004>
whom I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and let me go
<03212> (8799)_:
for thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
my service
<05656>
which I have done
<05647> (8804)
thee.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I pray thee, if I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_,
[tarry: for] I have learned by experience
<05172> (8765)
that the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
me for thy sake
<01558>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Appoint
<05344> (8798)
me thy wages
<07939>_,
and I will give
<05414> (8799)
[it].
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)
how
<0834>
I have served
<05647> (8804)
thee, and how
<0834>
thy cattle
<04735>
was with me.
For [it was] little
<04592>
which thou hadst before I
<06440>
[came], and it is [now] increased
<06555> (8799)
unto a multitude
<07230>_;
and the LORD
<03068>
hath blessed
<01288> (8762)
thee since my coming
<07272>_:
and now when
<04970>
shall I provide
<06213> (8799)
for mine own house
<01004>
also? {increased: Heb. broken forth} {since...: Heb. at my foot}
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What shall I give thee
<05414> (8799)_?
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thou shalt not give
<05414> (8799)
me any thing
<03972>_:
if thou wilt do
<06213> (8799)
this thing
<01697>
for me, I will again
<07725> (8799)
feed
<07462> (8799)
[and] keep
<08104> (8799)
thy flock
<06629>_:
I will pass
<05674> (8799)
through all thy flock
<06629>
to day
<03117>_,
removing
<05493> (8687)
from thence all the speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
cattle
<07716>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
cattle
<07716>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and the spotted
<02921> (8803)
and speckled
<05348>
among the goats
<05795>_:
and [of such] shall be my hire
<07939>_.
So shall my righteousness
<06666>
answer
<06030> (8804)
for me in time
<03117>
to come
<04279>_,
when it shall come
<0935> (8799)
for my hire
<07939>
before thy face
<06440>_:
every one
<03605>
that [is] not speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)
among the goats
<05795>_,
and brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
that shall be counted stolen
<01589> (8803)
with me. {in time...: Heb. to morrow}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I would it might be
<03863>
according to thy word
<01697>_.
And he removed
<05493> (8686)
that day
<03117>
the he goats
<08495>
that were ringstraked
<06124>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
and all the she goats
<05795>
that were speckled
<05348>
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_,
[and] every one that had [some] white
<03836>
in it, and all the brown
<02345>
among the sheep
<03775>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
[them] into the hand
<03027>
of his sons
<01121>_.
And he set
<07760> (8799)
three
<07969>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>
betwixt himself and Jacob
<03290>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
fed
<07462> (8802)
the rest
<03498> (8737)
of Laban's
<03837>
flocks
<06629>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
took
<03947> (8799)
him rods
<04731>
of green
<03892>
poplar
<03839>_,
and of the hazel
<03869>
and chesnut tree
<06196>_;
and pilled
<06478> (8762)
white
<03836>
strakes
<06479>
in them, and made the white
<03836>
appear
<04286>
which [was] in the rods
<04731>_.
And he set
<03322> (8686)
the rods
<04731>
which he had pilled
<06478> (8765)
before
<05227>
the flocks
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>
in the watering
<04325>
troughs
<08268>
when the flocks
<06629>
came
<0935> (8799)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_,
that they should conceive
<03179> (8799)
when they came
<0935> (8800)
to drink
<08354> (8800)_.
And the flocks
<06629>
conceived
<03179> (8799)
before the rods
<04731>_,
and brought forth
<03205> (8799)
cattle
<06629>
ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and spotted
<02921> (8803)_.
And Jacob
<03290>
did separate
<06504> (8689)
the lambs
<03775>_,
and set
<05414> (8799)
the faces
<06440>
of the flocks
<06629>
toward
<0413>
the ringstraked
<06124>_,
and all the brown
<02345>
in the flock
<06629>
of Laban
<03837>_;
and he put
<07896> (8799)
his own flocks
<05739>
by themselves, and put
<07896> (8804)
them not unto Laban's
<03837>
cattle
<06629>_.
And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger
<07194> (8794)
cattle
<06629>
did conceive
<03179> (8763)_,
that Jacob
<03290>
laid
<07760> (8804)
the rods
<04731>
before the eyes
<05869>
of the cattle
<06629>
in the gutters
<07298>_,
that they might conceive
<03179> (8763)
among the rods
<04731>_.
But when the cattle
<06629>
were feeble
<05848> (8687)_,
he put [them] not in
<07760> (8799)_:
so the feebler
<05848> (8803)
were Laban's
<03837>_,
and the stronger
<07194> (8803)
Jacob's
<03290>_.
And the man
<0376>
increased
<06555> (8799)
exceedingly
<03966> <03966>_,
and had much
<07227>
cattle
<06629>_,
and maidservants
<08198>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and camels
<01581>_,
and asses
<02543>_.
And he heard
<08085> (8799)
the words
<01697>
of Laban's
<03837>
sons
<01121>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Jacob
<03290>
hath taken away
<03947> (8804)
all that [was] our father's
<01>_;
and of [that] which [was] our father's
<01>
hath he gotten
<06213> (8804)
all this glory
<03519>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
beheld
<07200> (8799)
the countenance
<06440>
of Laban
<03837>_,
and, behold, it [was] not toward him as
<08543>
before
<08032>_.
{as before: Heb. as yesterday and the day before}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Return
<07725> (8798)
unto the land
<0776>
of thy fathers
<01>_,
and to thy kindred
<04138>_;
and I will be with thee.
And Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<07121> (8799)
Rachel
<07354>
and Leah
<03812>
to the field
<07704>
unto his flock
<06629>_,
And said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, I see
<07200> (8802)
your father's
<01>
countenance
<06440>_,
that it [is] not toward me as
<08543>
before
<08032>_;
but the God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
hath been
<01961> (8804)
with me.
And ye
<0859>
know
<03045> (8804)
that with all my power
<03581>
I have served
<05647> (8804)
your father
<01>_.
And your father
<01>
hath deceived
<02048> (8765)
me, and changed
<02498> (8689)
my wages
<04909>
ten
<06235>
times
<04489>_;
but God
<0430>
suffered him
<05414> (8804)
not to hurt
<07489> (8687)
me
<05978>_.
If he said
<0559> (8799)
thus, The speckled
<05348>
shall be thy wages
<07939>_;
then all the cattle
<06629>
bare
<03205> (8804)
speckled
<05348>_:
and if he said
<0559> (8799)
thus, The ringstraked
<06124>
shall be thy hire
<07939>_;
then bare
<03205> (8804)
all the cattle
<06629>
ringstraked
<06124>_.
Thus God
<0430>
hath taken away
<05337> (8686)
the cattle
<04735>
of your father
<01>_,
and given
<05414> (8799)
[them] to me.
And it came to pass at the time
<06256>
that the cattle
<06629>
conceived
<03179> (8763)_,
that I lifted up
<05375> (8799)
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and saw
<07200> (8799)
in a dream
<02472>_,
and, behold, the rams
<06260>
which leaped
<05927> (8802)
upon the cattle
<06629>
[were] ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and grisled
<01261>_.
{rams: or, he goats}
And the angel
<04397>
of God
<0430>
spake
<0559> (8799)
unto me in a dream
<02472>_,
[saying], Jacob
<03290>_:
And I said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [am] I.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Lift up
<05375> (8798)
now thine eyes
<05869>_,
and see
<07200> (8798)_,
all the rams
<06260>
which leap
<05927> (8802)
upon the cattle
<06629>
[are] ringstraked
<06124>_,
speckled
<05348>_,
and grisled
<01261>_:
for I have seen
<07200> (8804)
all that Laban
<03837>
doeth
<06213> (8802)
unto thee.
I [am] the God
<0410>
of Bethel
<01008>_,
where thou anointedst
<04886> (8804)
the pillar
<04676>_,
[and] where thou vowedst
<05087> (8804)
a vow
<05088>
unto me: now arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get thee out
<03318> (8798)
from this land
<0776>_,
and return
<07725> (8798)
unto the land
<0776>
of thy kindred
<04138>_.
And Rachel
<07354>
and Leah
<03812>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Is there] yet any portion
<02506>
or inheritance
<05159>
for us in our father's
<01>
house
<01004>_?
Are we not counted
<02803> (8738)
of him strangers
<05237>_?
for he hath sold
<04376> (8804)
us, and hath quite
<0398> (8800)
devoured
<0398> (8799)
also our money
<03701>_.
For all the riches
<06239>
which God
<0430>
hath taken
<05337> (8689)
from our father
<01>_,
that [is] ours, and our children's
<01121>_:
now then, whatsoever God
<0430>
hath said
<0559> (8804)
unto thee, do
<06213> (8798)_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and set
<05375> (8799)
his sons
<01121>
and his wives
<0802>
upon camels
<01581>_;
And he carried away
<05090> (8799)
all his cattle
<04735>_,
and all his goods
<07399>
which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)_,
the cattle
<04735>
of his getting
<07075>_,
which he had gotten
<07408> (8804)
in Padanaram
<06307>_,
for to go
<0935> (8800)
to Isaac
<03327>
his father
<01>
in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_.
And Laban
<03837>
went
<01980> (8804)
to shear
<01494> (8800)
his sheep
<06629>_:
and Rachel
<07354>
had stolen
<01589> (8799)
the images
<08655>
that [were] her father's
<01>_.
{images: Heb. teraphim}
And Jacob
<03290>
stole away
<01589> (8799)
unawares
<03820>
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>_,
in that
<05921>
he told
<05046> (8689)
him not
<01097>
that he fled
<01272> (8802)_.
{unawares...: Heb. the heart of Laban}
So he fled
<01272> (8799)
with all that he had; and he rose up
<06965> (8799)_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
the river
<05104>_,
and set
<07760> (8799)
his face
<06440>
[toward] the mount
<02022>
Gilead
<01568>_.
And it was told
<05046> (8714)
Laban
<03837>
on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>
that Jacob
<03290>
was fled
<01272> (8804)_.
And he took
<03947> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>
with him, and pursued
<07291> (8799)
after him
<0310>
seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>_;
and they overtook
<01692> (8686)
him in the mount
<02022>
Gilead
<01568>_.
And God
<0430>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>
the Syrian
<0761>
in a dream
<02472>
by night
<03915>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Take heed
<08104> (8734)
that thou speak
<01696> (8762)
not to
<05973>
Jacob
<03290>
either good
<02896>
or
<05704>
bad
<07451>_.
{either...: Heb. from good to bad}
Then Laban
<03837>
overtook
<05381> (8686)
Jacob
<03290>_.
Now Jacob
<03290>
had pitched
<08628> (8804)
his tent
<0168>
in the mount
<02022>_:
and Laban
<03837>
with his brethren
<0251>
pitched
<08628> (8804)
in the mount
<02022>
of Gilead
<01568>_.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_,
that thou hast stolen away
<01589> (8799)
unawares
<03824>
to me, and carried away
<05090> (8762)
my daughters
<01323>_,
as captives
<07617> (8803)
[taken] with the sword
<02719>_?
Wherefore didst thou flee away
<01272> (8800)
secretly
<02244> (8738)_,
and steal away
<01589> (8799)
from me; and didst not tell
<05046> (8689)
me, that I might have sent thee away
<07971> (8762)
with mirth
<08057>_,
and with songs
<07892>_,
with tabret
<08596>_,
and with harp
<03658>_?
{steal...: Heb. hast stolen me}
And hast not suffered
<05203> (8804)
me to kiss
<05401> (8763)
my sons
<01121>
and my daughters
<01323>_?
thou hast now done foolishly
<05528> (8689)
in [so] doing
<06213> (8800)_.
It is
<03426>
in the power
<0410>
of my hand
<03027>
to do
<06213> (8800)
you hurt
<07451>_:
but the God
<0430>
of your father
<01>
spake
<0559> (8804)
unto me yesternight
<0570>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Take thou heed
<08104> (8734)
that thou speak not
<01696> (8763)
to Jacob
<03290>
either good
<02896>
or bad
<07451>_.
And now, [though] thou wouldest needs
<01980> (8800)
be gone
<01980> (8804)_,
because thou sore
<03700> (8736)
longedst
<03700> (8738)
after thy father's
<01>
house
<01004>_,
[yet] wherefore hast thou stolen
<01589> (8804)
my gods
<0430>_?
And Jacob
<03290>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
Because I was afraid
<03372> (8804)_:
for I said
<0559> (8804)_,
Peradventure
<06435>
thou wouldest take by force
<01497> (8799)
thy daughters
<01323>
from me.
With whomsoever
<0834>
thou findest
<04672> (8799)
thy gods
<0430>_,
let him not live
<02421> (8799)_:
before
<05048>
our brethren
<0251>
discern
<05234> (8685)
thou what [is] thine with me, and take
<03947> (8798)
[it] to thee. For Jacob
<03290>
knew
<03045> (8804)
not that Rachel
<07354>
had stolen
<01589> (8804)
them.
And Laban
<03837>
went
<0935> (8799)
into Jacob's
<03290>
tent
<0168>_,
and into Leah's
<03812>
tent
<0168>_,
and into the two
<08147>
maidservants
<0519>_'
tents
<0168>_;
but he found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not. Then went he out
<03318> (8799)
of Leah's
<03812>
tent
<0168>_,
and entered
<0935> (8799)
into Rachel's
<07354>
tent
<0168>_.
Now Rachel
<07354>
had taken
<03947> (8804)
the images
<08655>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
them in the camel's
<01581>
furniture
<03733>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
upon them. And Laban
<03837>
searched
<04959> (8762)
all the tent
<0168>_,
but found
<04672> (8804)
[them] not. {searched: Heb. felt}
And she said
<0559> (8799)
to her father
<01>_,
Let it not displease
<02734> (8799) <05869>
my lord
<0113>
that I cannot
<03201> (8799)
rise up
<06965> (8800)
before thee
<06440>_;
for the custom
<01870>
of women
<0802>
[is] upon me. And he searched
<02664> (8762)_,
but found
<04672> (8804)
not the images
<08655>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and chode
<07378> (8799)
with Laban
<03837>_:
and Jacob
<03290>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Laban
<03837>_,
What [is] my trespass
<06588>_?
what [is] my sin
<02403>_,
that thou hast so hotly pursued
<01814> (8804)
after me
<0310>_?
Whereas
<03588>
thou hast searched
<04959> (8765)
all my stuff
<03627>_,
what hast thou found
<04672> (8804)
of all thy household
<01004>
stuff
<03627>_?
set
<07760> (8798)
[it] here
<03541>
before my brethren
<0251>
and thy brethren
<0251>_,
that they may judge
<03198> (8686)
betwixt
<0996>
us both
<08147>_.
{searched: Heb. felt}
This twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
[have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
<07353>
and thy she goats
<05795>
have not cast their young
<07921> (8765)_,
and the rams
<0352>
of thy flock
<06629>
have I not eaten
<0398> (8804)_.
That which was torn
<02966>
[of beasts] I brought
<0935> (8689)
not unto thee; I bare the loss
<02398> (8762)
of it; of my hand
<03027>
didst thou require
<01245> (8762)
it, [whether] stolen
<01589> (8803)
by day
<03117>_,
or stolen
<01589> (8803)
by night
<03915>_.
[Thus] I was; in the day
<03117>
the drought
<02721>
consumed
<0398> (8804)
me, and the frost
<07140>
by night
<03915>_;
and my sleep
<08142>
departed
<05074> (8799)
from mine eyes
<05869>_.
Thus have I been twenty
<06242>
years
<08141>
in thy house
<01004>_;
I served thee
<05647> (8804)
fourteen
<0702> <06240>
years
<08141>
for thy two
<08147>
daughters
<01323>_,
and six
<08337>
years
<08141>
for thy cattle
<06629>_:
and thou hast changed
<02498> (8686)
my wages
<04909>
ten
<06235>
times
<04489>_.
Except
<03884>
the God
<0430>
of my father
<01>_,
the God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
and the fear
<06343>
of Isaac
<03327>_,
had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away
<07971> (8765)
now empty
<07387>_.
God
<0430>
hath seen
<07200> (8804)
mine affliction
<06040>
and the labour
<03018>
of my hands
<03709>_,
and rebuked
<03198> (8686)
[thee] yesternight
<0570>_.
And Laban
<03837>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
[These] daughters
<01323>
[are] my daughters
<01323>_,
and [these] children
<01121>
[are] my children
<01121>_,
and [these] cattle
<06629>
[are] my cattle
<06629>_,
and all that thou seest
<07200> (8802)
[is] mine: and what can I do
<06213> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto these my daughters
<01323>_,
or
<0176>
unto their children
<01121>
which they have born
<03205> (8804)_?
Now therefore come thou
<03212> (8798)_,
let us make
<03772> (8799)
a covenant
<01285>_,
I and thou; and let it be for a witness
<05707>
between me and thee.
And Jacob
<03290>
took
<03947> (8799)
a stone
<068>_,
and set it up
<07311> (8686)
[for] a pillar
<04676>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his brethren
<0251>_,
Gather
<03950> (8798)
stones
<068>_;
and they took
<03947> (8799)
stones
<068>_,
and made
<06213> (8799)
an heap
<01530>_:
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
there upon the heap
<01530>_.
And Laban
<03837>
called
<07121> (8799)
it Jegarsahadutha
<03026>_:
but Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8804)
it Galeed
<01567>_.
{Jegarsahadutha: that is, The heap of witness, Chaldee} {Galeed: that is, The heap of witness, Heb.}
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
This heap
<01530>
[is] a witness
<05707>
between me and thee this day
<03117>_.
Therefore was the name
<08034>
of it called
<07121> (8804)
Galeed
<01567>_;
And Mizpah
<04709>_;
for
<0834>
he said
<0559> (8804)_,
The LORD
<03068>
watch
<06822> (8799)
between me and thee, when we are absent
<05641> (8735)
one
<0376>
from another
<07453>_.
{Mizpah: that is, A beacon, or, watchtower}
If thou shalt afflict
<06031> (8762)
my daughters
<01323>_,
or if thou shalt take
<03947> (8799)
[other] wives
<0802>
beside
<05921>
my daughters
<01323>_,
no man
<0376>
[is] with us; see
<07200> (8798)_,
God
<0430>
[is] witness
<05707>
betwixt me and thee.
And Laban
<03837>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
Behold this heap
<01530>_,
and behold [this] pillar
<04676>_,
which I have cast
<03384> (8804)
betwixt me and thee;
This heap
<01530>
[be] witness
<05707>_,
and [this] pillar
<04676>
[be] witness
<05713>_,
that I will not pass over
<05674> (8799)
this heap
<01530>
to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over
<05674> (8799)
this heap
<01530>
and this pillar
<04676>
unto me, for harm
<07451>_.
The God
<0430>
of Abraham
<085>_,
and the God
<0430>
of Nahor
<05152>_,
the God
<0430>
of their father
<01>_,
judge
<08199> (8799)
betwixt us. And Jacob
<03290>
sware
<07650> (8735)
by the fear
<06343>
of his father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
offered
<02076> (8799)
sacrifice
<02077>
upon the mount
<02022>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
his brethren
<0251>
to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_:
and they did eat
<0398> (8799)
bread
<03899>_,
and tarried all night
<03885> (8799)
in the mount
<02022>_.
{offered...: or, killed beasts}
And early
<07925> (0)
in the morning
<01242>
Laban
<03837>
rose up
<07925> (8686)_,
and kissed
<05401> (8762)
his sons
<01121>
and his daughters
<01323>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
them: and Laban
<03837>
departed
<03212> (8799)_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)
unto his place
<04725>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
went
<01980> (8804)
on his way
<01870>_,
and the angels
<04397>
of God
<0430>
met
<06293> (8799)
him.
And when Jacob
<03290>
saw them
<07200> (8804)_,
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
This [is] God's
<0430>
host
<04264>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of that place
<04725>
Mahanaim
<04266>_.
{Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}
And Jacob
<03290>
sent
<07971> (8799)
messengers
<04397>
before him
<06440>
to Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>
unto the land
<0776>
of Seir
<08165>_,
the country
<07704>
of Edom
<0123>_.
{country: Heb. field}
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)
unto my lord
<0113>
Esau
<06215>_;
Thy servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>
saith
<0559> (8804)
thus, I have sojourned
<01481> (8804)
with Laban
<03837>_,
and stayed there
<0309> (8799)
until now:
And I have oxen
<07794>_,
and asses
<02543>_,
flocks
<06629>_,
and menservants
<05650>_,
and womenservants
<08198>_:
and I have sent
<07971> (8799)
to tell
<05046> (8687)
my lord
<0113>_,
that I may find
<04672> (8800)
grace
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_.
And the messengers
<04397>
returned
<07725> (8799)
to Jacob
<03290>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
We came
<0935> (8804)
to thy brother
<0251>
Esau
<06215>_,
and also he cometh
<01980> (8802)
to meet thee
<07125> (8800)_,
and four hundred
<03967>
men
<0376>
with him.
Then Jacob
<03290>
was greatly
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)
and distressed
<03334> (8799)_:
and he divided
<02673> (8799)
the people
<05971>
that [was] with him, and the flocks
<06629>_,
and herds
<01241>_,
and the camels
<01581>_,
into two
<08147>
bands
<04264>_;
And said
<0559> (8799)_,
If Esau
<06215>
come
<0935> (8799)
to the one
<0259>
company
<04264>_,
and smite it
<05221> (8689)_,
then the other company
<04264>
which is left
<07604> (8737)
shall escape
<06413>_.
And Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
O God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
Abraham
<085>_,
and God
<0430>
of my father
<01>
Isaac
<03327>_,
the LORD
<03068>
which saidst
<0559> (8802)
unto me, Return
<07725> (8798)
unto thy country
<0776>_,
and to thy kindred
<04138>_,
and I will deal well
<03190> (8686)
with thee:
I am not worthy of the least
<06994> (8804)
of all the mercies
<02617>_,
and of all the truth
<0571>_,
which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)
unto thy servant
<05650>_;
for with my staff
<04731>
I passed over
<05674> (8804)
this Jordan
<03383>_;
and now I am become two
<08147>
bands
<04264>_.
{I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}
Deliver me
<05337> (8685)_,
I pray thee, from the hand
<03027>
of my brother
<0251>_,
from the hand
<03027>
of Esau
<06215>_:
for I fear
<03373>
him, lest he will come
<0935> (8799)
and smite me
<05221> (8689)_,
[and] the mother
<0517>
with
<05921>
the children
<01121>_.
{with: Heb. upon}
And thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,
I will surely
<03190> (8687)
do thee good
<03190> (8686)_,
and make
<07760> (8804)
thy seed
<02233>
as the sand
<02344>
of the sea
<03220>_,
which cannot be numbered
<05608> (8735)
for multitude
<07230>_.
And he lodged
<03885> (8799)
there that same night
<03915>_;
and took
<03947> (8799)
of that which came
<0935> (8802)
to his hand
<03027>
a present
<04503>
for Esau
<06215>
his brother
<0251>_;
Two hundred
<03967>
she goats
<05795>_,
and twenty
<06242>
he goats
<08495>_,
two hundred
<03967>
ewes
<07353>_,
and twenty
<06242>
rams
<0352>_,
Thirty
<07970>
milch
<03243> (8688)
camels
<01581>
with their colts
<01121>_,
forty
<0705>
kine
<06510>_,
and ten
<06235>
bulls
<06499>_,
twenty
<06242>
she asses
<0860>_,
and ten
<06235>
foals
<05895>_.
And he delivered
<05414> (8799)
[them] into the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_,
every drove
<05739>
by themselves; and said
<0559> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Pass over
<05674> (8798)
before me
<06440>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
a space
<07305>
betwixt
<0996>
drove
<05739>
and
<0996>
drove
<05739>_.
And he commanded
<06680> (8762)
the foremost
<07223>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
When Esau
<06215>
my brother
<0251>
meeteth thee
<06298> (8799)_,
and asketh thee
<07592> (8804)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Whose [art] thou? and whither goest
<03212> (8799)
thou? and whose [are] these before
<06440>
thee?
Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
[They be] thy servant
<05650>
Jacob's
<03290>_;
it [is] a present
<04503>
sent
<07971> (8803)
unto my lord
<0113>
Esau
<06215>_:
and, behold, also he [is] behind us
<0310>_.
And so
<01571>
commanded he
<06680> (8762)
the second
<08145>_,
and the third
<07992>_,
and all that followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>
the droves
<05739>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
On this manner
<01697>
shall ye speak
<01696> (8762)
unto Esau
<06215>_,
when ye find
<04672> (8800)
him.
And say ye
<0559> (8804)
moreover
<01571>_,
Behold, thy servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>
[is] behind us
<0310>_.
For he said
<0559> (8804)_,
I will appease
<03722> (8762)
him
<06440>
with the present
<04503>
that goeth
<01980> (8802)
before me
<06440>_,
and afterward
<0310>
I will see
<07200> (8799)
his face
<06440>_;
peradventure he will accept
<05375> (8799)
of me
<06440>_.
{of me: Heb. my face}
So went
<05674> (0)
the present
<04503>
over
<05674> (8799)
before him
<06440>_:
and himself lodged
<03885> (8804)
that night
<03915>
in the company
<04264>_.
And he rose up
<06965> (8799)
that night
<03915>_,
and took
<03947> (8799)
his two
<08147>
wives
<0802>_,
and his two
<08147>
womenservants
<08198>_,
and his eleven
<06240> <0259>
sons
<03206>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
the ford
<04569>
Jabbok
<02999>_.
And he took them
<03947> (8799)_,
and sent them over
<05674> (8686)
the brook
<05158>_,
and sent over
<05674> (8686)
that he had. {sent them: Heb. caused to pass}
And Jacob
<03290>
was left
<03498> (8735)
alone; and there wrestled
<079> (8735)
a man
<0376>
with him until the breaking
<05927> (8800)
of the day
<07837>_.
{breaking...: Heb. ascending of the morning}
And when he saw
<07200> (8799)
that he prevailed
<03201> (8804)
not against him, he touched
<05060> (8799)
the hollow of his thigh
<03409>_;
and the hollow
<03709>
of Jacob's
<03290>
thigh
<03409>
was out of joint
<03363> (8799)_,
as he wrestled
<079> (8736)
with him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,
for the day
<07837>
breaketh
<05927> (8804)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will not let thee go
<07971> (8762)_,
except
<0518>
thou bless
<01288> (8765)
me.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What [is] thy name
<08034>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Jacob
<03290>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thy name
<08034>
shall be called
<0559> (8735)
no more Jacob
<03290>_,
but Israel
<03478>_:
for as a prince hast thou power
<08280> (8804)
with God
<0430>
and with men
<0582>_,
and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_.
{Israel: that is, A prince of God}
And Jacob
<03290>
asked
<07592> (8799)
[him], and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Tell
<05046> (8685)
[me], I pray thee, thy name
<08034>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore [is] it
<02088>
[that] thou dost ask
<07592> (8799)
after my name
<08034>_?
And he blessed
<01288> (8762)
him there.
And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the place
<04725>
Peniel
<06439>_:
for I have seen
<07200> (8804)
God
<0430>
face
<06440>
to face
<06440>_,
and my life
<05315>
is preserved
<05337> (8735)_.
{Peniel: that is, The face of God}
And as he passed over
<05674> (8804)
Penuel
<06439>
the sun
<08121>
rose
<02224> (8799)
upon him, and he halted
<06760> (8802)
upon his thigh
<03409>_.
Therefore the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
eat
<0398> (8799)
not [of] the sinew
<01517>
which shrank
<05384>_,
which [is] upon the hollow
<03709>
of the thigh
<03409>_,
unto this day
<03117>_:
because he touched
<05060> (8804)
the hollow
<03709>
of Jacob's
<03290>
thigh
<03409>
in the sinew
<01517>
that shrank
<05384>_.

Genesis 35:1-15

And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
go up
<05927> (8798)
to Bethel
<01008>_,
and dwell
<03427> (8798)
there: and make
<06213> (8798)
there an altar
<04196>
unto God
<0410>_,
that appeared
<07200> (8737)
unto thee when thou fleddest
<01272> (8800)
from the face
<06440>
of Esau
<06215>
thy brother
<0251>_.
Then Jacob
<03290>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto his household
<01004>_,
and to all that [were] with him, Put away
<05493> (8685)
the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
that [are] among you
<08432>_,
and be clean
<02891> (8690)_,
and change
<02498> (8685)
your garments
<08071>_:
And let us arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and go up
<05927> (8799)
to Bethel
<01008>_;
and I will make
<06213> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>
unto God
<0410>_,
who answered
<06030> (8802)
me in the day
<03117>
of my distress
<06869>_,
and was with me in the way
<01870>
which I went
<01980> (8804)_.
And they gave
<05414> (8799)
unto Jacob
<03290>
all the strange
<05236>
gods
<0430>
which [were] in their hand
<03027>_,
and [all their] earrings
<05141>
which [were] in their ears
<0241>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
hid
<02934> (8799)
them under the oak
<0424>
which [was] by Shechem
<07927>_.
And they journeyed
<05265> (8799)_:
and the terror
<02847>
of God
<0430>
was upon the cities
<05892>
that [were] round about
<05439>
them, and they did not pursue
<07291> (8804)
after
<0310>
the sons
<01121>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
So Jacob
<03290>
came
<0935> (8799)
to Luz
<03870>_,
which [is] in the land
<0776>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
that [is], Bethel
<01008>_,
he and all the people
<05971>
that [were] with him.
And he built
<01129> (8799)
there an altar
<04196>_,
and called
<07121> (8799)
the place
<04725>
Elbethel
<0416>_:
because there God
<0430>
appeared
<01540> (8738)
unto him, when he fled
<01272> (8800)
from the face
<06440>
of his brother
<0251>_.
{Elbethel: that is, The God of Bethel}
But Deborah
<01683>
Rebekah's
<07259>
nurse
<03243> (8688)
died
<04191> (8799)_,
and she was buried
<06912> (8735)
beneath Bethel
<01008>
under an oak
<0437>_:
and the name
<08034>
of it was called
<07121> (8799)
Allonbachuth
<0439>_.
{Allonbachuth: that is, The oak of weeping}
And God
<0430>
appeared
<07200> (8735)
unto Jacob
<03290>
again, when he came
<0935> (8800)
out of Padanaram
<06307>_,
and blessed
<01288> (8762)
him.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Thy name
<08034>
[is] Jacob
<03290>_:
thy name
<08034>
shall not be called
<07121> (8735)
any more Jacob
<03290>_,
but Israel
<03478>
shall be thy name
<08034>_:
and he called
<07121> (8799)
his name
<08034>
Israel
<03478>_.
And God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, I [am] God
<0410>
Almighty
<07706>_:
be fruitful
<06509> (8798)
and multiply
<07235> (8798)_;
a nation
<01471>
and a company
<06951>
of nations
<01471>
shall be of thee, and kings
<04428>
shall come
<03318> (8799)
out of thy loins
<02504>_;
And the land
<0776>
which I gave
<05414> (8804)
Abraham
<085>
and Isaac
<03327>_,
to thee I will give it
<05414> (8799)_,
and to thy seed
<02233>
after thee
<0310>
will I give
<05414> (8799)
the land
<0776>_.
And God
<0430>
went up
<05927> (8799)
from him in the place
<04725>
where he talked
<01696> (8765)
with him.
And Jacob
<03290>
set up
<05324> (8686)
a pillar
<04676>
in the place
<04725>
where he talked
<01696> (8765)
with him, [even] a pillar
<04678>
of stone
<068>_:
and he poured
<05258> (8686)
a drink offering
<05262>
thereon, and he poured
<03332> (8799)
oil
<08081>
thereon.
And Jacob
<03290>
called
<07121> (8799)
the name
<08034>
of the place
<04725>
where God
<0430>
spake
<01696> (8765)
with him, Bethel
<01008>_.

Isaiah 13:1--21:17

The burden
<04853>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
which Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>
did see
<02372> (8804)_.
Lift ye up
<05375> (8798)
a banner
<05251>
upon the high
<08192> (8737)
mountain
<02022>_,
exalt
<07311> (8685)
the voice
<06963>
unto them, shake
<05130> (8685)
the hand
<03027>_,
that they may go
<0935> (8799)
into the gates
<06607>
of the nobles
<05081>_.
I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
my sanctified ones
<06942> (8794)_,
I have also called
<07121> (8804)
my mighty ones
<01368>
for mine anger
<0639>_,
[even] them that rejoice
<05947>
in my highness
<01346>_.
The noise
<06963>
of a multitude
<01995>
in the mountains
<02022>_,
like as
<01823>
of a great
<07227>
people
<05971>_;
a tumultuous
<07588>
noise
<06963>
of the kingdoms
<04467>
of nations
<01471>
gathered together
<0622> (8737)_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
mustereth
<06485> (8764)
the host
<06635>
of the battle
<04421>_.
{like...: Heb. the likeness of}
They come
<0935> (8802)
from a far
<04801>
country
<0776>_,
from the end
<07097>
of heaven
<08064>_,
[even] the LORD
<03068>_,
and the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_,
to destroy
<02254> (8763)
the whole land
<0776>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)
ye; for the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
[is] at hand
<07138>_;
it shall come
<0935> (8799)
as a destruction
<07701>
from the Almighty
<07706>_.
Therefore shall all hands
<03027>
be faint
<07503> (8799)_,
and every man's
<0582>
heart
<03824>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)_:
{be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraid
<0926> (8738)_:
pangs
<06735>
and sorrows
<02256>
shall take hold
<0270> (8799)
of them; they shall be in pain
<02342> (8799)
as a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
they shall be amazed
<08539> (8799)
one
<0376>
at another
<07453>_;
their faces
<06440>
[shall be as] flames
<03851>_.
{be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one...: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the day
<03117>
of the LORD
<03068>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_,
cruel
<0394>
both with wrath
<05678>
and fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
to lay
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_:
and he shall destroy
<08045> (8686)
the sinners
<02400>
thereof out of it.
For the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>
and the constellations
<03685>
thereof shall not give
<01984> (8686)
their light
<0216>_:
the sun
<08121>
shall be darkened
<02821> (8804)
in his going forth
<03318> (8800)_,
and the moon
<03394>
shall not cause her light
<0216>
to shine
<05050> (8686)_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
the world
<08398>
for [their] evil
<07451>_,
and the wicked
<07563>
for their iniquity
<05771>_;
and I will cause the arrogancy
<01347>
of the proud
<02086>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_,
and will lay low
<08213> (8686)
the haughtiness
<01346>
of the terrible
<06184>_.
I will make a man
<0582>
more precious
<03365> (8686)
than fine gold
<06337>_;
even a man
<0120>
than the golden wedge
<03800>
of Ophir
<0211>_.
Therefore I will shake
<07264> (8686)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and the earth
<0776>
shall remove
<07493> (8799)
out of her place
<04725>_,
in the wrath
<05678>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and in the day
<03117>
of his fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_.
And it shall be as the chased
<05080> (8716)
roe
<06643>_,
and as a sheep
<06629>
that no man taketh up
<06908> (8764)_:
they shall every man
<0376>
turn
<06437> (8799)
to his own people
<05971>_,
and flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own land
<0776>_.
Every one that is found
<04672> (8737)
shall be thrust through
<01856> (8735)_;
and every one that is joined
<05595> (8737)
[unto them] shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_.
Their children
<05768>
also shall be dashed to pieces
<07376> (8792)
before their eyes
<05869>_;
their houses
<01004>
shall be spoiled
<08155> (8735)_,
and their wives
<0802>
ravished
<07901> (8735) (8675) <07693> (8735)_.
Behold, I will stir up
<05782> (8688)
the Medes
<04074>
against them, which shall not regard
<02803> (8799)
silver
<03701>_;
and [as for] gold
<02091>_,
they shall not delight
<02654> (8799)
in it.
[Their] bows
<07198>
also shall dash
<07376> (0)
the young men
<05288>
to pieces
<07376> (8762)_;
and they shall have no pity
<07355> (8762)
on the fruit
<06529>
of the womb
<0990>_;
their eye
<05869>
shall not spare
<02347> (8799)
children
<01121>_.
And Babylon
<0894>_,
the glory
<06643>
of kingdoms
<04467>_,
the beauty
<08597>
of the Chaldees
<03778>_'
excellency
<01347>_,
shall be as when God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>_.
{as...: Heb. as the overthrowing}
It shall never
<05331>
be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_:
neither shall the Arabian
<06163>
pitch tent
<0167> (8762)
there; neither shall the shepherds
<07462> (8802)
make their fold
<07257> (8686)
there.
But wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
shall lie
<07257> (8804)
there; and their houses
<01004>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of doleful creatures
<0255>_;
and owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<07931> (8804)
there, and satyrs
<08163>
shall dance
<07540> (8762)
there. {wild...: Heb. Ziim} {doleful...: Heb. Ochim} {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
And the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall cry
<06030> (8804)
in their desolate houses
<0490>_,
and dragons
<08577>
in [their] pleasant
<06027>
palaces
<01964>_:
and her time
<06256>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and her days
<03117>
shall not be prolonged
<04900> (8735)_.
{the wild...: Heb. Iim} {desolate...: or, palaces}
For the LORD
<03068>
will have mercy
<07355> (8762)
on Jacob
<03290>_,
and will yet choose
<0977> (8804)
Israel
<03478>_,
and set
<03240> (8689)
them in their own land
<0127>_:
and the strangers
<01616>
shall be joined
<03867> (8738)
with them, and they shall cleave
<05596> (8738)
to the house
<01004>
of Jacob
<03290>_.
And the people
<05971>
shall take
<03947> (8804)
them, and bring
<0935> (8689)
them to their place
<04725>_:
and the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
shall possess
<05157> (8694)
them in the land
<0127>
of the LORD
<03068>
for servants
<05650>
and handmaids
<08198>_:
and they shall take them captives
<07617> (8802)_,
whose captives
<07617> (8802)
they were; and they shall rule
<07287> (8804)
over their oppressors
<05065> (8802)_.
{whose...: Heb. that had taken them captives}
And it shall come to pass in the day
<03117>
that the LORD
<03068>
shall give thee rest
<05117> (8687)
from thy sorrow
<06090>_,
and from thy fear
<07267>_,
and from the hard
<07186>
bondage
<05656>
wherein thou wast made to serve
<05647> (8795)_,
That thou shalt take up
<05375> (8804)
this proverb
<04912>
against the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and say
<0559> (8804)_,
How hath the oppressor
<05065> (8802)
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
the golden city
<04062>
ceased
<07673> (8804)_!
{proverb: or, taunting speech} {golden...: or, exactress of gold}
The LORD
<03068>
hath broken
<07665> (8804)
the staff
<04294>
of the wicked
<07563>_,
[and] the sceptre
<07626>
of the rulers
<04910> (8802)_.
He who smote
<05221> (8688)
the people
<05971>
in wrath
<05678>
with a continual
<01115> <05627>
stroke
<04347>_,
he that ruled
<07287> (8802)
the nations
<01471>
in anger
<0639>_,
is persecuted
<04783>_,
[and] none
<01097>
hindereth
<02820> (8804)_.
{a continual...: Heb. a stroke without removing}
The whole earth
<0776>
is at rest
<05117> (8804)_,
[and] is quiet
<08252> (8804)_:
they break forth
<06476> (8804)
into singing
<07440>_.
Yea, the fir trees
<01265>
rejoice
<08055> (8804)
at thee, [and] the cedars
<0730>
of Lebanon
<03844>_,
[saying], Since thou art laid down
<07901> (8804)_,
no feller
<03772> (8802)
is come up
<05927> (8799)
against us.
Hell
<07585>
from beneath is moved
<07264> (8804)
for thee to meet
<07125> (8800)
[thee] at thy coming
<0935> (8800)_:
it stirreth up
<05782> (8790)
the dead
<07496>
for thee, [even] all the chief ones
<06260>
of the earth
<0776>_;
it hath raised up
<06965> (8689)
from their thrones
<03678>
all the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_.
{Hell: or, The grave} {chief...: Heb. leaders, or, great goats}
All they shall speak
<06030> (8799)
and say
<0559> (8799)
unto thee, Art thou also become weak
<02470> (8795)
as we? art thou become like
<04911> (8738)
unto us?
Thy pomp
<01347>
is brought down
<03381> (8717)
to the grave
<07585>_,
[and] the noise
<01998>
of thy viols
<05035>_:
the worm
<07415>
is spread
<03331> (8714)
under thee, and the worms
<08438>
cover
<04374>
thee.
How art thou fallen
<05307> (8804)
from heaven
<08064>_,
O Lucifer
<01966>_,
son
<01121>
of the morning
<07837> (8676) <03213> (8685)_!
[how] art thou cut down
<01438> (8738)
to the ground
<0776>_,
which didst weaken
<02522> (8802)
the nations
<01471>_!
{O Lucifer: or, O day star}
For thou hast said
<0559> (8804)
in thine heart
<03824>_,
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
into heaven
<08064>_,
I will exalt
<07311> (8686)
my throne
<03678>
above
<04605>
the stars
<03556>
of God
<0410>_:
I will sit
<03427> (8799)
also upon the mount
<02022>
of the congregation
<04150>_,
in the sides
<03411>
of the north
<06828>_:
I will ascend
<05927> (8799)
above the heights
<01116>
of the clouds
<05645>_;
I will be like
<01819> (8691)
the most High
<05945>_.
Yet thou shalt be brought down
<03381> (8714)
to hell
<07585>_,
to the sides
<03411>
of the pit
<0953>_.
They that see
<07200> (8802)
thee shall narrowly look
<07688> (8686)
upon thee, [and] consider
<0995> (8709)
thee, [saying, Is] this the man
<0376>
that made the earth
<0776>
to tremble
<07264> (8688)_,
that did shake
<07493> (8688)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
[That] made
<07760> (8804)
the world
<08398>
as a wilderness
<04057>_,
and destroyed
<02040> (8804)
the cities
<05892>
thereof; [that] opened
<06605> (8804)
not the house
<01004>
of his prisoners
<0615>_?
{opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose homeward?}
All the kings
<04428>
of the nations
<01471>_,
[even] all of them, lie
<07901> (8804)
in glory
<03519>_,
every one
<0376>
in his own house
<01004>_.
But thou art cast out
<07993> (8717)
of thy grave
<06913>
like an abominable
<08581> (8737)
branch
<05342>_,
[and as] the raiment
<03830>
of those that are slain
<02026> (8803)_,
thrust through
<02944> (8794)
with a sword
<02719>_,
that go down
<03381> (8802)
to the stones
<068>
of the pit
<0953>_;
as a carcase
<06297>
trodden under feet
<0947> (8716)_.
Thou shalt not be joined
<03161> (8799)
with them in burial
<06900>_,
because thou hast destroyed
<07843> (8765)
thy land
<0776>_,
[and] slain
<02026> (8804)
thy people
<05971>_:
the seed
<02233>
of evildoers
<07489> (8688)
shall never
<05769>
be renowned
<07121> (8735)_.
Prepare
<03559> (8685)
slaughter
<04293>
for his children
<01121>
for the iniquity
<05771>
of their fathers
<01>_;
that they do not
<01077>
rise
<06965> (8799)_,
nor possess
<03423> (8804)
the land
<0776>_,
nor fill
<04390> (8804)
the face
<06440>
of the world
<08398>
with cities
<06145> (8676) <05892>_.
For I will rise up
<06965> (8804)
against them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and cut off
<03772> (8689)
from Babylon
<0894>
the name
<08034>_,
and remnant
<07605>_,
and son
<05209>_,
and nephew
<05220>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will also make
<07760> (8804)
it a possession
<04180>
for the bittern
<07090>_,
and pools
<098>
of water
<04325>_:
and I will sweep
<02894> (8773)
it with the besom
<04292>
of destruction
<08045> (8687)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Surely as I have thought
<01819> (8765)_,
so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
[so] shall it stand
<06965> (8799)_:
That I will break
<07665> (8800)
the Assyrian
<0804>
in my land
<0776>_,
and upon my mountains
<02022>
tread him under foot
<0947> (8799)_:
then shall his yoke
<05923>
depart
<05493> (8804)
from off them, and his burden
<05448>
depart
<05493> (8799)
from off their shoulders
<07926>_.
This [is] the purpose
<06098>
that is purposed
<03289> (8803)
upon the whole earth
<0776>_:
and this [is] the hand
<03027>
that is stretched out
<05186> (8803)
upon all the nations
<01471>_.
For the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)_,
and who shall disannul
<06565> (8686)
[it]? and his hand
<03027>
[is] stretched out
<05186> (8803)_,
and who shall turn it back
<07725> (8686)_?
In the year
<08141>
that king
<04428>
Ahaz
<0271>
died
<04194>
was this burden
<04853>_.
Rejoice
<08055> (8799)
not thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
because the rod
<07626>
of him that smote
<05221> (8688)
thee is broken
<07665> (8738)_:
for out of the serpent's
<05175>
root
<08328>
shall come forth
<03318> (8799)
a cockatrice
<06848>_,
and his fruit
<06529>
[shall be] a fiery
<08314> (0)
flying
<05774> (8789)
serpent
<08314>_.
{cockatrice: or, adder}
And the firstborn
<01060>
of the poor
<01800>
shall feed
<07462> (8804)_,
and the needy
<034>
shall lie down
<07257> (8799)
in safety
<0983>_:
and I will kill
<04191> (8689)
thy root
<08328>
with famine
<07458>_,
and he shall slay
<02026> (8799)
thy remnant
<07611>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O gate
<08179>_;
cry
<02199> (8798)_,
O city
<05892>_;
thou, whole Palestina
<06429>_,
[art] dissolved
<04127> (8738)_:
for there shall come
<0935> (8804)
from the north
<06828>
a smoke
<06227>_,
and none [shall be] alone
<0909> (8802)
in his appointed times
<04151>_.
{none...: or, he shall not be alone} {appointed...: or, assemblies}
What shall [one] then answer
<06030> (8799)
the messengers
<04397>
of the nation
<01471>_?
That the LORD
<03068>
hath founded
<03245> (8765)
Zion
<06726>_,
and the poor
<06041>
of his people
<05971>
shall trust
<02620> (8799)
in it. {trust...: or, betake themselves unto it}
The burden
<04853>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Because in the night
<03915>
Ar
<06144>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
because in the night
<03915>
Kir
<07024>
of Moab
<04124>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_,
[and] brought to silence
<01820> (8738)_;
{brought...: or, cut off}
He is gone up
<05927> (8804)
to Bajith
<01006>_,
and to Dibon
<01769>_,
the high places
<01116>_,
to weep
<01065>_:
Moab
<04124>
shall howl
<03213> (8686)
over Nebo
<05015>_,
and over Medeba
<04311>_:
on all their heads
<07218>
[shall be] baldness
<07144>_,
[and] every beard
<02206>
cut off
<01438> (8803)_.
In their streets
<02351>
they shall gird
<02296> (8804)
themselves with sackcloth
<08242>_:
on the tops
<01406>
of their houses, and in their streets
<07339>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_,
weeping
<01065>
abundantly
<03381> (8802)_.
{weeping...: Heb. descending into weeping, or, coming down with weeping}
And Heshbon
<02809>
shall cry
<02199> (8799)_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
their voice
<06963>
shall be heard
<08085> (8738)
[even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_:
therefore the armed soldiers
<02502> (8803)
of Moab
<04124>
shall cry out
<07321> (8686)_;
his life
<05315>
shall be grievous
<03415> (8804)
unto him.
My heart
<03820>
shall cry out
<02199> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>_;
his fugitives
<01280>
[shall flee] unto Zoar
<06820>_,
an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for by the mounting up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
with weeping
<01065>
shall they go it up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the way
<01870>
of Horonaim
<02773>
they shall raise up
<05782> (8787)
a cry
<02201>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{his...: or, to the borders thereof, even to Zoar, as an heifer} {destruction: Heb. breaking}
For the waters
<04325>
of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_:
for the hay
<02682>
is withered away
<03001> (8804)_,
the grass
<01877>
faileth
<03615> (8804)_,
there is no green thing
<03418>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Therefore the abundance
<03502>
they have gotten
<06213> (8804)_,
and that which they have laid up
<06486>_,
shall they carry away
<05375> (8799)
to the brook
<05158>
of the willows
<06155>_.
{brook...: or, valley of the Arabians}
For the cry
<02201>
is gone round about
<05362> (8689)
the borders
<01366>
of Moab
<04124>_;
the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Eglaim
<097>_,
and the howling
<03215>
thereof unto Beerelim
<0879>_.
For the waters
<04325>
of Dimon
<01775>
shall be full
<04390> (8804)
of blood
<01818>_:
for I will bring
<07896> (8799)
more
<03254> (8737)
upon Dimon
<01775>_,
lions
<0738>
upon him that escapeth
<06413>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and upon the remnant
<07611>
of the land
<0127>_.
{more: Heb. additions}
Send
<07971> (8798)
ye the lamb
<03733>
to the ruler
<04910> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
from Sela
<05554>
to the wilderness
<04057>_,
unto the mount
<02022>
of the daughter
<01323>
of Zion
<06726>_.
{Sela: or, Petra: Heb. A rock}
For it shall be, [that], as a wandering
<05074> (8802)
bird
<05775>
cast out
<07971> (8794)
of the nest
<07064>_,
[so] the daughters
<01323>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be at the fords
<04569>
of Arnon
<0769>_.
{cast...: or, a nest forsaken}
Take
<0935> (8685)
counsel
<06098>_,
execute
<06213> (8798)
judgment
<06415>_;
make
<07896> (8798)
thy shadow
<06738>
as the night
<03915>
in the midst
<08432>
of the noonday
<06672>_;
hide
<05641> (8761)
the outcasts
<05080> (8737)_;
bewray
<01540> (8762)
not him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
{Take: Heb. Bring}
Let mine outcasts
<05080> (8737)
dwell
<01481> (8799)
with thee, Moab
<04124>_;
be
<01933> (8798)
thou a covert
<05643>
to them from the face
<06440>
of the spoiler
<07703> (8802)_:
for the extortioner
<04160> (8801)
is at an end
<0656> (8804)_,
the spoiler
<07701>
ceaseth
<03615> (8804)_,
the oppressors
<07429> (8802)
are consumed
<08552> (8804)
out of the land
<0776>_.
{extortioner: Heb. wringer} {the oppressors: Heb. the treaders down}
And in mercy
<02617>
shall the throne
<03678>
be established
<03559> (8717)_:
and he shall sit
<03427> (8804)
upon it in truth
<0571>
in the tabernacle
<0168>
of David
<01732>_,
judging
<08199> (8802)_,
and seeking
<01875> (8802)
judgment
<04941>_,
and hasting
<04106>
righteousness
<06664>_.
{established: or, prepared}
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_;
[he is] very
<03966>
proud
<01341>_:
[even] of his haughtiness
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and his wrath
<05678>_:
[but] his lies
<0907>
[shall] not [be] so.
Therefore shall Moab
<04124>
howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
every one shall howl
<03213> (8686)_:
for the foundations
<0808>
of Kirhareseth
<07025>
shall ye mourn
<01897> (8799)_;
surely [they are] stricken
<05218>_.
{mourn: or, mutter}
For the fields
<07709>
of Heshbon
<02809>
languish
<0535> (8797)_,
[and] the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
the lords
<01167>
of the heathen
<01471>
have broken down
<01986> (8804)
the principal plants
<08291>
thereof, they are come
<05060> (8804)
[even] unto Jazer
<03270>_,
they wandered
<08582> (8804)
[through] the wilderness
<04057>_:
her branches
<07976>
are stretched out
<05203> (8738)_,
they are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_.
{stretched...: or, plucked up}
Therefore I will bewail
<01058> (8799)
with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>
the vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_:
I will water
<07301> (8762)
thee with my tears
<01832>_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
and Elealeh
<0500>_:
for the shouting
<01959>
for thy summer fruits
<07019>
and for thy harvest
<07105>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_.
{the shouting...: or, the alarm is fallen upon, etc}
And gladness
<08057>
is taken away
<0622> (8738)_,
and joy
<01524>
out of the plentiful field
<03759>_;
and in the vineyards
<03754>
there shall be no singing
<07442> (8792)_,
neither shall there be shouting
<07321> (8783)_:
the treaders
<01869> (8802)
shall tread out
<01869> (8799)
no wine
<03196>
in [their] presses
<03342>_;
I have made [their vintage] shouting
<01959>
to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
Wherefore my bowels
<04578>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like an harp
<03658>
for Moab
<04124>_,
and mine inward parts
<07130>
for Kirharesh
<07025>_.
And it shall come to pass, when it is seen
<07200> (8738)
that Moab
<04124>
is weary
<03811> (8738)
on the high place
<01116>_,
that he shall come
<0935> (8804)
to his sanctuary
<04720>
to pray
<06419> (8692)_;
but he shall not prevail
<03201> (8799)_.
This [is] the word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
concerning Moab
<04124>
since that time
<0227>_.
But now the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Within three
<07969>
years
<08141>_,
as the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and the glory
<03519>
of Moab
<04124>
shall be contemned
<07034> (8738)_,
with all that great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_;
and the remnant
<07605>
[shall be] very
<04592>
small
<04213>
[and] feeble
<03808> <03524>_.
{feeble: or, not many}
The burden
<04853>
of Damascus
<01834>_.
Behold, Damascus
<01834>
is taken away
<05493> (8716)
from [being] a city
<05892>_,
and it shall be a ruinous
<04654>
heap
<04596>_.
The cities
<05892>
of Aroer
<06177>
[are] forsaken
<05800> (8803)_:
they shall be for flocks
<05739>_,
which shall lie down
<07257> (8804)_,
and none shall make [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
The fortress
<04013>
also shall cease
<07673> (8738)
from Ephraim
<0669>_,
and the kingdom
<04467>
from Damascus
<01834>_,
and the remnant
<07605>
of Syria
<0758>_:
they shall be as the glory
<03519>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And in that day
<03117>
it shall come to pass, [that] the glory
<03519>
of Jacob
<03290>
shall be made thin
<01809> (8735)_,
and the fatness
<04924>
of his flesh
<01320>
shall wax lean
<07329> (8735)_.
And it shall be as when the harvestman
<07105>
gathereth
<0622> (8800)
the corn
<07054>_,
and reapeth
<07114> (8799)
the ears
<07641>
with his arm
<02220>_;
and it shall be as he that gathereth
<03950> (8764)
ears
<07641>
in the valley
<06010>
of Rephaim
<07497>_.
Yet gleaning grapes
<05955>
shall be left
<07604> (8738)
in it, as the shaking
<05363>
of an olive tree
<02132>_,
two
<08147>
[or] three
<07969>
berries
<01620>
in the top
<07218>
of the uppermost bough
<0534>_,
four
<0702>
[or] five
<02568>
in the outmost fruitful
<06509> (8802)
branches
<05585>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_.
At that day
<03117>
shall a man
<0120>
look
<08159> (8799)
to his Maker
<06213> (8802)_,
and his eyes
<05869>
shall have respect
<07200> (8799)
to the Holy
<06918>
One of Israel
<03478>_.
And he shall not look
<08159> (8799)
to the altars
<04196>_,
the work
<04639>
of his hands
<03027>_,
neither shall respect
<07200> (8799)
[that] which his fingers
<0676>
have made
<06213> (8804)_,
either the groves
<0842>_,
or the images
<02553>_.
{images: or, sun images}
In that day
<03117>
shall his strong
<04581>
cities
<05892>
be as a forsaken
<05800> (8803)
bough
<02793>_,
and an uppermost branch
<0534>_,
which they left
<05800> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>_:
and there shall be desolation
<08077>_.
Because thou hast forgotten
<07911> (8804)
the God
<0430>
of thy salvation
<03468>_,
and hast not been mindful
<02142> (8804)
of the rock
<06697>
of thy strength
<04581>_,
therefore shalt thou plant
<05193> (8799)
pleasant
<05282>
plants
<05194>_,
and shalt set
<02232> (8799)
it with strange
<02114> (8801)
slips
<02156>_:
In the day
<03117>
shalt thou make thy plant
<05194>
to grow
<07735> (8770)_,
and in the morning
<01242>
shalt thou make thy seed
<02233>
to flourish
<06524> (8686)_:
[but] the harvest
<07105>
[shall be] a heap
<05067>
in the day
<03117>
of grief
<02470> (8737)
and of desperate
<0605> (8803)
sorrow
<03511>_.
{a heap...: or, removed in the day of inheritance, and there shall be deadly sorrow}
Woe
<01945>
to the multitude
<01995>
of many
<07227>
people
<05971>_,
[which] make a noise
<01993> (8799)
like the noise
<01993> (8800)
of the seas
<03220>_;
and to the rushing
<07588>
of nations
<03816>_,
[that] make a rushing like the rushing
<07582> (8735)
of mighty
<03524>
waters
<04325>_!
{multitude: or, noise} {mighty: or, many}
The nations
<03816>
shall rush
<07582> (8735)
like the rushing
<07588>
of many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_:
but [God] shall rebuke
<01605> (8804)
them, and they shall flee
<05127> (8804)
far off
<04801>_,
and shall be chased
<07291> (8795)
as the chaff
<04671>
of the mountains
<02022>
before
<06440>
the wind
<07307>_,
and like a rolling thing
<01534>
before
<06440>
the whirlwind
<05492>_.
{a rolling...: or, thistledown}
And behold at eveningtide
<06256> <06153>
trouble
<01091>_;
[and] before the morning
<01242>
he [is] not. This [is] the portion
<02506>
of them that spoil
<08154> (8802)
us, and the lot
<01486>
of them that rob
<0962> (8802)
us.
Woe
<01945>
to the land
<0776>
shadowing
<06767>
with wings
<03671>_,
which [is] beyond
<05676>
the rivers
<05104>
of Ethiopia
<03568>_:
That sendeth
<07971> (8802)
ambassadors
<06735>
by the sea
<03220>_,
even in vessels
<03627>
of bulrushes
<01573>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>_,
[saying], Go
<03212> (8798)_,
ye swift
<07031>
messengers
<04397>_,
to a nation
<01471>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
to a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden down
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_!
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished} {meted...: or, that meteth out and treadeth down: Heb. of line, line, and treading under foot} {have...: or, despise}
All ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the world
<08398>_,
and dwellers
<07931> (8802)
on the earth
<0776>_,
see
<07200> (8799)
ye, when he lifteth up
<05375> (8800)
an ensign
<05251>
on the mountains
<02022>_;
and when he bloweth
<08628> (8800)
a trumpet
<07782>_,
hear
<08085> (8799)
ye.
For so
<03541>
the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, I will take my rest
<08252> (8799)_,
and I will consider
<05027> (8686)
in my dwelling place
<04349>
like a clear
<06703>
heat
<02527>
upon herbs
<0216>_,
[and] like a cloud
<05645>
of dew
<02919>
in the heat
<02527>
of harvest
<07105>_.
{consider...: or, regard my set dwelling} {upon...: or, after rain}
For afore
<06440>
the harvest
<07105>_,
when the bud
<06525>
is perfect
<08552> (8800)_,
and the sour grape
<01155>
is ripening
<01580> (8802)
in the flower
<05328>_,
he shall both cut off
<03772> (8804)
the sprigs
<02150>
with pruning hooks
<04211>_,
and take away
<05493> (8689)
[and] cut down
<08456> (8689)
the branches
<05189>_.
They shall be left
<05800> (8735)
together
<03162>
unto the fowls
<05861>
of the mountains
<02022>_,
and to the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>_:
and the fowls
<05861>
shall summer
<06972> (8804)
upon them, and all the beasts
<0929>
of the earth
<0776>
shall winter
<02778> (8799)
upon them.
In that time
<06256>
shall the present
<07862>
be brought
<02986> (8714)
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
of a people
<05971>
scattered
<04900> (8794)
and peeled
<04178> (8794)_,
and from a people
<05971>
terrible
<03372> (8737)
from their beginning hitherto
<01973>_;
a nation
<01471>
meted out
<06978>
and trodden under foot
<04001>_,
whose land
<0776>
the rivers
<05104>
have spoiled
<0958> (8804)_,
to the place
<04725>
of the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the mount
<02022>
Zion
<06726>_.
{scattered...: or, outspread and polished}
The burden
<04853>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Behold, the LORD
<03068>
rideth
<07392> (8802)
upon a swift
<07031>
cloud
<05645>_,
and shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_:
and the idols
<0457>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be moved
<05128> (8804)
at his presence
<06440>_,
and the heart
<03824>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall melt
<04549> (8735)
in the midst
<07130>
of it.
And I will set
<05526> (8773)
the Egyptians
<04714>
against the Egyptians
<04714>_:
and they shall fight
<03898> (8738)
every one
<0376>
against his brother
<0251>_,
and every one
<0376>
against his neighbour
<07453>_;
city
<05892>
against city
<05892>_,
[and] kingdom
<04467>
against kingdom
<04467>_.
{set: Heb. mingle}
And the spirit
<07307>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall fail
<01238> (8738)
in the midst
<07130>
thereof; and I will destroy
<01104> (8762)
the counsel
<06098>
thereof: and they shall seek
<01875> (8804)
to the idols
<0457>_,
and to the charmers
<0328>_,
and to them that have familiar spirits
<0178>_,
and to the wizards
<03049>_.
{fail: Heb. be emptied} {destroy: Heb. swallow up}
And
<0853>
the Egyptians
<04714>
will I give over
<05534> (8765)
into the hand
<03027>
of a cruel
<07186>
lord
<0113>_;
and a fierce
<05794>
king
<04428>
shall rule
<04910> (8799)
over them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0113>_,
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{give...: or, shut up}
And the waters
<04325>
shall fail
<05405> (8738)
from the sea
<03220>_,
and the river
<05104>
shall be wasted
<02717> (8799)
and dried up
<03001> (8804)_.
And they shall turn
<02186> (0)
the rivers
<05104>
far away
<02186> (8689)_;
[and] the brooks
<02975>
of defence
<04693>
shall be emptied
<01809> (8804)
and dried up
<02717> (8804)_:
the reeds
<07070>
and flags
<05488>
shall wither
<07060> (8804)_.
The paper reeds
<06169>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
by the mouth
<06310>
of the brooks
<02975>_,
and every thing sown
<04218>
by the brooks
<02975>_,
shall wither
<03001> (8799)_,
be driven away
<05086> (8738)_,
and be no [more]. {and be...: Heb. and shall not be}
The fishers
<01771>
also shall mourn
<0578> (8804)_,
and all they that cast
<07993> (8688)
angle
<02443>
into the brooks
<02975>
shall lament
<056> (8804)_,
and they that spread
<06566> (8802)
nets
<04365>
upon
<06440>
the waters
<04325>
shall languish
<0535> (8797)_.
Moreover they that work
<05647> (8802)
in fine
<08305>
flax
<06593>_,
and they that weave
<0707> (8802)
networks
<02355>_,
shall be confounded
<0954> (8804)_.
{networks: or, white works}
And they shall be broken
<01792> (8794)
in the purposes
<08356>
thereof, all that make
<06213> (8802)
sluices
<07938>
[and] ponds
<099>
for fish
<05315>_.
{purposes: Heb. foundations} {for fish: Heb. of living things}
Surely the princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
[are] fools
<0191>_,
the counsel
<06098>
of the wise
<02450>
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
of Pharaoh
<06547>
is become brutish
<01197> (8737)_:
how say
<0559> (8799)
ye unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,
I [am] the son
<01121>
of the wise
<02450>_,
the son
<01121>
of ancient
<06924>
kings
<04428>_?
Where
<0335>
[are] they? where
<0645>
[are] thy wise
<02450>
[men]? and let them tell
<05046> (8686)
thee now, and let them know
<03045> (8799)
what the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath purposed
<03289> (8804)
upon Egypt
<04714>_.
The princes
<08269>
of Zoan
<06814>
are become fools
<02973> (8738)_,
the princes
<08269>
of Noph
<05297>
are deceived
<05377> (8738)_;
they have also seduced
<08582> (8689)
Egypt
<04714>_,
[even they that are] the stay
<06438>
of the tribes
<07626>
thereof. {they that...: or, governors: Heb. corners}
The LORD
<03068>
hath mingled
<04537> (8804)
a perverse
<05773>
spirit
<07307>
in the midst
<07130>
thereof: and they have caused Egypt
<04714>
to err
<08582> (8689)
in every work
<04639>
thereof, as a drunken
<07910>
[man] staggereth
<08582> (8736)
in his vomit
<06892>_.
{a perverse...: Heb. a spirit of perversities}
Neither shall there be [any] work
<04639>
for Egypt
<04714>_,
which the head
<07218>
or tail
<02180>_,
branch
<03712>
or rush
<0100>_,
may do
<06213> (8799)_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Egypt
<04714>
be like unto women
<0802>_:
and it shall be afraid
<02729> (8804)
and fear
<06342> (8804)
because
<06440>
of the shaking
<08573>
of the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he shaketh
<05130> (8688)
over it.
And the land
<0127>
of Judah
<03063>
shall be a terror
<02283>
unto Egypt
<04714>_,
every one that maketh mention
<02142> (8686)
thereof shall be afraid
<06342> (8799)
in himself, because
<06440>
of the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
which he hath determined
<03289> (8802)
against it.
In that day
<03117>
shall five
<02568>
cities
<05892>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>
speak
<01696> (8764)
the language
<08193>
of Canaan
<03667>_,
and swear
<07650> (8737)
to the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
one
<0259>
shall be called
<0559> (8735)_,
The city
<05892>
of destruction
<02041>_.
{the language: Heb. the lip} {of destruction: or, of Heres, or, of the sun}
In that day
<03117>
shall there be an altar
<04196>
to the LORD
<03068>
in the midst
<08432>
of the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
and a pillar
<04676>
at
<0681>
the border
<01366>
thereof to the LORD
<03068>_.
And it shall be for a sign
<0226>
and for a witness
<05707>
unto the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
for they shall cry
<06817> (8799)
unto the LORD
<03068>
because
<06440>
of the oppressors
<03905> (8801)_,
and he shall send
<07971> (8799)
them a saviour
<03467> (8688)_,
and a great one
<07227>_,
and he shall deliver
<05337> (8689)
them.
And the LORD
<03068>
shall be known
<03045> (8738)
to Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall know
<03045> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
in that day
<03117>_,
and shall do
<05647> (8804)
sacrifice
<02077>
and oblation
<04503>_;
yea, they shall vow
<05087> (8804)
a vow
<05088>
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
and perform
<07999> (8765)
[it].
And the LORD
<03068>
shall smite
<05062> (8804)
Egypt
<04714>_:
he shall smite
<05062> (8800)
and heal
<07495> (8800)
[it]: and they shall return
<07725> (8804)
[even] to the LORD
<03068>_,
and he shall be intreated
<06279> (8738)
of them, and shall heal
<07495> (8804)
them.
In that day
<03117>
shall there be a highway
<04546>
out of Egypt
<04714>
to Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Assyrian
<0804>
shall come
<0935> (8804)
into Egypt
<04714>_,
and the Egyptian
<04714>
into Assyria
<0804>_,
and the Egyptians
<04714>
shall serve
<05647> (8804)
with the Assyrians
<0804>_.
In that day
<03117>
shall Israel
<03478>
be the third
<07992>
with Egypt
<04714>
and with Assyria
<0804>_,
[even] a blessing
<01293>
in the midst
<07130>
of the land
<0776>_:
Whom the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
shall bless
<01288> (8765)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] Egypt
<04714>
my people
<05971>_,
and Assyria
<0804>
the work
<04639>
of my hands
<03027>_,
and Israel
<03478>
mine inheritance
<05159>_.
In the year
<08141>
that Tartan
<08661>
came
<0935> (8800)
unto Ashdod
<0795>_,
(when Sargon
<05623>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
sent
<07971> (8800)
him,) and fought
<03898> (8735)
against Ashdod
<0795>_,
and took
<03920> (8799)
it;
At the same time
<06256>
spake
<01696> (8765)
the LORD
<03068>
by
<03027>
Isaiah
<03470>
the son
<01121>
of Amoz
<0531>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Go
<03212> (8798)
and loose
<06605> (8765)
the sackcloth
<08242>
from off thy loins
<04975>_,
and put off
<02502> (8799)
thy shoe
<05275>
from thy foot
<07272>_.
And he did so
<06213> (8799)_,
walking
<01980> (8800)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_.
{by: Heb. by the hand of}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Like as my servant
<05650>
Isaiah
<03470>
hath walked
<01980> (8804)
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>
three
<07969>
years
<08141>
[for] a sign
<0226>
and wonder
<04159>
upon Egypt
<04714>
and upon Ethiopia
<03568>_;
So shall the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
lead away
<05090> (8799)
the Egyptians
<04714>
prisoners
<07628>_,
and the Ethiopians
<03568>
captives
<01546>_,
young
<05288>
and old
<02205>_,
naked
<06174>
and barefoot
<03182>_,
even with [their] buttocks
<08357>
uncovered
<02834> (8803)_,
to the shame
<06172>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
{the Egyptians...: Heb. the captivity of Egypt} {shame: Heb. nakedness}
And they shall be afraid
<02865> (8804)
and ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Ethiopia
<03568>
their expectation
<04007>_,
and of Egypt
<04714>
their glory
<08597>_.
And the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of this isle
<0339>
shall say
<0559> (8804)
in that day
<03117>_,
Behold, such
<03541>
[is] our expectation
<04007>_,
whither we flee
<05127> (8804)
for help
<05833>
to be delivered
<05337> (8736)
from
<06440>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
and how shall we escape
<04422> (8735)_?
{isle: or, country}
The burden
<04853>
of the desert
<04057>
of the sea
<03220>_.
As whirlwinds
<05492>
in the south
<05045>
pass
<02498> (8800)
through; [so] it cometh
<0935> (8802)
from the desert
<04057>_,
from a terrible
<03372> (8737)
land
<0776>_.
A grievous
<07186>
vision
<02380>
is declared
<05046> (8717)
unto me; the treacherous dealer
<0898> (8802)
dealeth treacherously
<0898> (8802)_,
and the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
spoileth
<07703> (8802)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)_,
O Elam
<05867>_:
besiege
<06696> (8798)_,
O Media
<04074>_;
all the sighing
<0585>
thereof have I made to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
{grievous: Heb. hard}
Therefore are my loins
<04975>
filled
<04390> (8804)
with pain
<02479>_:
pangs
<06735>
have taken hold
<0270> (8804)
upon me, as the pangs
<06735>
of a woman that travaileth
<03205> (8802)_:
I was bowed down
<05753> (8738)
at the hearing
<08085> (8800)
[of it]; I was dismayed
<0926> (8738)
at the seeing
<07200> (8800)
[of it].
My heart
<03824>
panted
<08582> (8804)_,
fearfulness
<06427>
affrighted
<01204> (8765)
me: the night
<05399>
of my pleasure
<02837>
hath he turned
<07760> (8804)
into fear
<02731>
unto me. {heart...: or, mind wandered} {turned: Heb. put}
Prepare
<06186> (8800)
the table
<07979>_,
watch
<06822> (8800)
in the watchtower
<06844>_,
eat
<0398> (8800)_,
drink
<08354> (8800)_:
arise
<06965> (8798)_,
ye princes
<08269>_,
[and] anoint
<04886> (8798)
the shield
<04043>_.
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
set
<05975> (8685)
a watchman
<06822> (8764)_,
let him declare
<05046> (8686)
what he seeth
<07200> (8799)_.
And he saw
<07200> (8804)
a chariot
<07393>
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_,
a chariot
<07393>
of asses
<02543>_,
[and] a chariot
<07393>
of camels
<01581>_;
and he hearkened
<07181> (8689)
diligently
<07182>
with much
<07227>
heed
<07182>_:
And he cried
<07121> (8799)_,
A lion
<0738>_:
My lord
<0136>_,
I stand
<05975> (8802)
continually
<08548>
upon the watchtower
<04707>
in the daytime
<03119>_,
and I am set
<05324> (8737)
in my ward
<04931>
whole nights
<03915>_:
{he...: or, cried as a lion} {whole...: or, every night}
And, behold, here cometh
<0935> (8802)
a chariot
<07393>
of men
<0376>_,
[with] a couple
<06776>
of horsemen
<06571>_.
And he answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;
and all the graven images
<06456>
of her gods
<0430>
he hath broken
<07665> (8765)
unto the ground
<0776>_.
O my threshing
<04098>_,
and the corn
<01121>
of my floor
<01637>_:
that which I have heard
<08085> (8804)
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
have I declared
<05046> (8689)
unto you. {corn: Heb. son}
The burden
<04853>
of Dumah
<01746>_.
He calleth
<07121> (8802)
to me out of Seir
<08165>_,
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
Watchman
<08104> (8802)_,
what of the night
<03915>_?
The watchman
<08104> (8802)
said
<0559> (8804)_,
The morning
<01242>
cometh
<0857> (8804)_,
and also the night
<03915>_:
if ye will enquire
<01158> (8799)_,
enquire
<01158> (8798)
ye: return
<07725> (8798)_,
come
<0857> (8798)_.
The burden
<04853>
upon Arabia
<06152>_.
In the forest
<03293>
in Arabia
<06152>
shall ye lodge
<03885> (8799)_,
O ye travelling companies
<0736>
of Dedanim
<01720>_.
The inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
of Tema
<08485>
brought
<0857> (8689)
water
<04325>
to him
<07125> (8800)
that was thirsty
<06771>_,
they prevented
<06923> (8765)
with their bread
<03899>
him that fled
<05074> (8802)_.
{brought: or, bring ye}
For they fled
<05074> (8804)
from
<06440>
the swords
<02719>_,
from
<06440>
the drawn
<05203> (8803)
sword
<02719>_,
and from
<06440>
the bent
<01869> (8803)
bow
<07198>_,
and from
<06440>
the grievousness
<03514>
of war
<04421>_.
{from the swords: or, for fear, etc: Heb. from the face, etc}
For thus hath the Lord
<0136>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Within a year
<08141>_,
according to the years
<08141>
of an hireling
<07916>_,
and all the glory
<03519>
of Kedar
<06938>
shall fail
<03615> (8804)_:
And the residue
<07605>
of the number
<04557>
of archers
<07198>_,
the mighty men
<01368>
of the children
<01121>
of Kedar
<06938>_,
shall be diminished
<04591> (8799)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>
hath spoken
<01696> (8765)
[it]. {archers: Heb. bows}

Jeremiah 46:1--51:64

The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
which came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against the Gentiles
<01471>_;
Against Egypt
<04714>_,
against the army
<02428>
of Pharaohnecho
<06549>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>_,
which was by the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>
in Carchemish
<03751>_,
which Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
smote
<05221> (8689)
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of Jehoiakim
<03079>
the son
<01121>
of Josiah
<02977>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_.
Order
<06186> (8798)
ye the buckler
<04043>
and shield
<06793>_,
and draw near
<05066> (8798)
to battle
<04421>_.
Harness
<0631> (8798)
the horses
<05483>_;
and get up
<05927> (8798)_,
ye horsemen
<06571>_,
and stand forth
<03320> (8690)
with [your] helmets
<03553>_;
furbish
<04838> (8798)
the spears
<07420>_,
[and] put on
<03847> (8798)
the brigandines
<05630>_.
Wherefore have I seen
<07200> (8804)
them dismayed
<02844>
[and] turned
<05472> (8737)
away back
<0268>_?
and their mighty ones
<01368>
are beaten down
<03807> (8714)_,
and are fled
<05127> (8804)
apace
<04498>_,
and look not back
<06437> (8689)_:
[for] fear
<04032>
[was] round about
<05439>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{beaten...: Heb. broken in pieces} {fled...: Heb. fled a flight}
Let not the swift
<07031>
flee away
<05127> (8799)_,
nor the mighty man
<01368>
escape
<04422> (8735)_;
they shall stumble
<03782> (8804)_,
and fall
<05307> (8804)
toward the north
<06828>
by
<03027>
the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_.
Who [is] this [that] cometh up
<05927> (8799)
as a flood
<02975>_,
whose waters
<04325>
are moved
<01607> (8691)
as the rivers
<05104>_?
Egypt
<04714>
riseth up
<05927> (8799)
like a flood
<02975>_,
and [his] waters
<04325>
are moved
<01607> (8704)
like the rivers
<05104>_;
and he saith
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go up
<05927> (8799)_,
[and] will cover
<03680> (8762)
the earth
<0776>_;
I will destroy
<06> (8686)
the city
<05892>
and the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
thereof.
Come up
<05927> (8798)_,
ye horses
<05483>_;
and rage
<01984> (8703)_,
ye chariots
<07393>_;
and let the mighty men
<01368>
come forth
<03318> (8799)_;
the Ethiopians
<03568>
and the Libyans
<06316>_,
that handle
<08610> (8802)
the shield
<04043>_;
and the Lydians
<03866>_,
that handle
<08610> (8802)
[and] bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_.
{the Ethiopians: Heb. Cush} {the Libyans: Heb. Put}
For this [is] the day
<03117>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
a day
<03117>
of vengeance
<05360>_,
that he may avenge
<05358> (8736)
him of his adversaries
<06862>_:
and the sword
<02719>
shall devour
<0398> (8804)_,
and it shall be satiate
<07646> (8804)
and made drunk
<07301> (8804)
with their blood
<01818>_:
for the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
hath a sacrifice
<02077>
in the north
<06828>
country
<0776>
by the river
<05104>
Euphrates
<06578>_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)
into Gilead
<01568>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
balm
<06875>_,
O virgin
<01330>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Egypt
<04714>_:
in vain
<07723>
shalt thou use many
<07235> (8689)
medicines
<07499>_;
[for] thou shalt not be cured
<08585>_.
{thou shalt...: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}
The nations
<01471>
have heard
<08085> (8804)
of thy shame
<07036>_,
and thy cry
<06682>
hath filled
<04390> (8804)
the land
<0776>_:
for the mighty man
<01368>
hath stumbled
<03782> (8804)
against the mighty
<01368>_,
[and] they are fallen
<05307> (8804)
both
<08147>
together
<03162>_.
The word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_,
how Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
should come
<0935> (8800)
[and] smite
<05221> (8687)
the land
<0776>
of Egypt
<04714>_.
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye in Egypt
<04714>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
in Migdol
<04024>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)
in Noph
<05297>
and in Tahpanhes
<08471>_:
say
<0559> (8798)
ye, Stand fast
<03320> (8690)_,
and prepare
<03559> (8685)
thee; for the sword
<02719>
shall devour
<0398> (8804)
round about
<05439>
thee.
Why are thy valiant
<047>
[men] swept away
<05502> (8738)_?
they stood
<05975> (8804)
not, because the LORD
<03068>
did drive
<01920> (8804)
them.
He made many
<07235> (8689)
to fall
<03782> (8802)_,
yea, one
<0376>
fell
<05307> (8804)
upon another
<07453>_:
and they said
<0559> (8799)_,
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
and let us go again
<07725> (8799)
to our own people
<05971>_,
and to the land
<0776>
of our nativity
<04138>_,
from
<06440>
the oppressing
<03238> (8802)
sword
<02719>_.
{made...: Heb. multiplied the faller}
They did cry
<07121> (8804)
there, Pharaoh
<06547>
king
<04428>
of Egypt
<04714>
[is but] a noise
<07588>_;
he hath passed
<05674> (8689)
the time appointed
<04150>_.
[As] I live
<02416>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
Surely as Tabor
<08396>
[is] among the mountains
<02022>_,
and as Carmel
<03760>
by the sea
<03220>_,
[so] shall he come
<0935> (8799)_.
O thou daughter
<01323>
dwelling
<03427> (8802)
in Egypt
<04714>_,
furnish
<06213> (8798)
thyself to go into captivity
<03627> <01473>_:
for Noph
<05297>
shall be waste
<08047>
and desolate
<03341> (8738)
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
{furnish...: Heb. make thee instruments of captivity}
Egypt
<04714>
[is like] a very fair
<03304>
heifer
<05697>_,
[but] destruction
<07171>
cometh
<0935> (8804)_;
it cometh out
<0935> (8804)
of the north
<06828>_.
Also her hired men
<07916>
[are] in the midst
<07130>
of her like fatted
<04770>
bullocks
<05695>_;
for they also are turned back
<06437> (8689)_,
[and] are fled away
<05127> (8804)
together
<03162>_:
they did not stand
<05975> (8804)_,
because the day
<03117>
of their calamity
<0343>
was come
<0935> (8804)
upon them, [and] the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>_.
{fatted...: Heb. bullocks of the stall}
The voice
<06963>
thereof shall go
<03212> (8799)
like a serpent
<05175>_;
for they shall march
<03212> (8799)
with an army
<02428>_,
and come
<0935> (8804)
against her with axes
<07134>_,
as hewers
<02404> (8802)
of wood
<06086>_.
They shall cut down
<03772> (8804)
her forest
<03293>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
though it cannot be searched
<02713> (8735)_;
because they are more
<07231> (8804)
than the grasshoppers
<0697>_,
and [are] innumerable
<0369> <04557>_.
The daughter
<01323>
of Egypt
<04714>
shall be confounded
<03001> (8689)_;
she shall be delivered
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the people
<05971>
of the north
<06828>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saith
<0559> (8804)_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
the multitude
<0527> (8676) <0528>
of No
<04996>_,
and Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and Egypt
<04714>_,
with their gods
<0430>_,
and their kings
<04428>_;
even Pharaoh
<06547>_,
and [all] them that trust
<0982> (8802)
in him: {multitude: or, nourisher: Heb. Amon}
And I will deliver
<05414> (8804)
them into the hand
<03027>
of those that seek
<01245> (8764)
their lives
<05315>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of his servants
<05650>_:
and afterward
<0310>
it shall be inhabited
<07931> (8799)_,
as in the days
<03117>
of old
<06924>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
But fear
<03372> (8799)
not thou, O my servant
<05650>
Jacob
<03290>_,
and be not dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,
O Israel
<03478>_:
for, behold, I will save
<03467> (8688)
thee from afar off
<07350>_,
and thy seed
<02233>
from the land
<0776>
of their captivity
<07628>_;
and Jacob
<03290>
shall return
<07725> (8804)_,
and be in rest
<08252> (8804)
and at ease
<07599> (8768)_,
and none shall make [him] afraid
<02729> (8688)_.
Fear
<03372> (8799)
thou not, O Jacob
<03290>
my servant
<05650>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
for I [am] with thee; for I will make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of all the nations
<01471>
whither I have driven
<05080> (8689)
thee: but I will not make
<06213> (8799)
a full end
<03617>
of thee, but correct
<03256> (8765)
thee in measure
<04941>_;
yet will I not leave thee wholly
<05352> (8763)
unpunished
<05352> (8762)_.
{not leave...: or, not utterly cut thee off}
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against the Philistines
<06430>_,
before that Pharaoh
<06547>
smote
<05221> (8686)
Gaza
<05804>_.
{Gaza: Heb. Azzah}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, waters
<04325>
rise up
<05927> (8802)
out of the north
<06828>_,
and shall be an overflowing
<07857> (8802)
flood
<05158>_,
and shall overflow
<07857> (8799)
the land
<0776>_,
and all that is therein
<04393>_;
the city
<05892>_,
and them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: then the men
<0120>
shall cry
<02199> (8804)_,
and all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>
shall howl
<03213> (8689)_.
{all that...: Heb. the fulness thereof}
At the noise
<06963>
of the stamping
<08161>
of the hoofs
<06541>
of his strong
<047>
[horses], at the rushing
<07494>
of his chariots
<07393>_,
[and at] the rumbling
<01995>
of his wheels
<01534>_,
the fathers
<01>
shall not look back
<06437> (8689)
to [their] children
<01121>
for feebleness
<07510>
of hands
<03027>_;
Because of the day
<03117>
that cometh
<0935> (8802)
to spoil
<07703> (8800)
all the Philistines
<06430>_,
[and] to cut off
<03772> (8687)
from Tyrus
<06865>
and Zidon
<06721>
every helper
<05826> (8802)
that remaineth
<08300>_:
for the LORD
<03068>
will spoil
<07703> (8802)
the Philistines
<06430>_,
the remnant
<07611>
of the country
<0339>
of Caphtor
<03731>_.
{the country: Heb. the isle}
Baldness
<07144>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon Gaza
<05804>_;
Ashkelon
<0831>
is cut off
<01820> (8738)
[with] the remnant
<07611>
of their valley
<06010>_:
how long wilt thou cut
<01413> (8704)
thyself?
O
<01945>
thou sword
<02719>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
how long [will it be] ere
<03808>
thou be quiet
<08252> (8799)_?
put up
<0622> (8734)
thyself into thy scabbard
<08593>_,
rest
<07280> (8734)_,
and be still
<01826> (8798)_.
{put...: Heb. gather thyself}
How can it be quiet
<08252> (8799)_,
seeing the LORD
<03068>
hath given it a charge
<06680> (8765)
against Ashkelon
<0831>_,
and against the sea
<03220>
shore
<02348>_?
there hath he appointed
<03259> (8804)
it. {How...: Heb. How canst thou}
Against Moab
<04124>
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Woe
<01945>
unto Nebo
<05015>_!
for it is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
Kiriathaim
<07156>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
[and] taken
<03920> (8738)_:
Misgab
<04869>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
and dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{Misgab: or, the high place}
[There shall be] no more praise
<08416>
of Moab
<04124>_:
in Heshbon
<02809>
they have devised
<02803> (8804)
evil
<07451>
against it; come
<03212> (8798)_,
and let us cut it off
<03772> (8686)
from [being] a nation
<01471>_.
Also thou shalt be cut down
<01826> (8735)_,
O Madmen
<04086>_;
the sword
<02719>
shall pursue
<03212> (8799)
thee
<0310>_.
{be cut...: or, be brought to silence} {pursue...: Heb. go after thee}
A voice
<06963>
of crying
<06818>
[shall be] from Horonaim
<02773>_,
spoiling
<07701>
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
Moab
<04124>
is destroyed
<07665> (8738)_;
her little ones
<06810>
have caused a cry
<02201>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)_.
For in the going up
<04608>
of Luhith
<03872>
continual
<01065>
weeping
<01065>
shall go up
<05927> (8799)_;
for in the going down
<04174>
of Horonaim
<02773>
the enemies
<06862>
have heard
<08085> (8804)
a cry
<06818>
of destruction
<07667>_.
{continual...: Heb. weeping with weeping}
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
save
<04422> (8761)
your lives
<05315>_,
and be
<01961> (8799)
like the heath
<06176>
in the wilderness
<04057>_.
{the heath: or, a naked tree}
For because thou hast trusted
<0982> (8800)
in thy works
<04639>
and in thy treasures
<0214>_,
thou shalt also be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
and Chemosh
<03645>
shall go forth
<03318> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>
[with] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
And the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon every city
<05892>_,
and no city
<05892>
shall escape
<04422> (8735)_:
the valley
<06010>
also shall perish
<06> (8804)_,
and the plain
<04334>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)_,
as the LORD
<03068>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)_.
Give
<05414> (8798)
wings
<06731>
unto Moab
<04124>_,
that it may flee
<05323> (8800)
and get away
<03318> (8799)_:
for the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be desolate
<08047>_,
without any to dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein
<02004>_.
Cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that doeth
<06213> (8802)
the work
<04399>
of the LORD
<03068>
deceitfully
<07423>_,
and cursed
<0779> (8803)
[be] he that keepeth back
<04513> (8802)
his sword
<02719>
from blood
<01818>_.
{deceitfully: or, negligently}
Moab
<04124>
hath been at ease
<07599> (8768)
from his youth
<05271>_,
and he hath settled
<08252> (8802)
on his lees
<08105>_,
and hath not been emptied
<07324> (8717)
from vessel
<03627>
to vessel
<03627>_,
neither hath he gone
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<01473>_:
therefore his taste
<02940>
remained
<05975> (8804)
in him, and his scent
<07381>
is not changed
<04171> (8738)_.
{remained: Heb. stood}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will send
<07971> (8765)
unto him wanderers
<06808> (8802)_,
that shall cause him to wander
<06808> (8765)_,
and shall empty
<07324> (8686)
his vessels
<03627>_,
and break
<05310> (8762)
their bottles
<05035>_.
And Moab
<04124>
shall be ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Chemosh
<03645>_,
as the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>
was ashamed
<0954> (8804)
of Bethel
<01008>
their confidence
<04009>_.
How say
<0559> (8799)
ye, We [are] mighty
<01368>
and strong
<02428>
men
<0582>
for the war
<04421>_?
Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and gone up
<05927> (8804)
[out of] her cities
<05892>_,
and his chosen
<04005>
young men
<0970>
are gone down
<03381> (8804)
to the slaughter
<02874>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
{his...: Heb. the choice of}
The calamity
<0343>
of Moab
<04124>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and his affliction
<07451>
hasteth
<04116> (8765)
fast
<03966>_.
All ye that are about
<05439>
him, bemoan
<05110> (8798)
him; and all ye that know
<03045> (8802)
his name
<08034>_,
say
<0559> (8798)_,
How is the strong
<05797>
staff
<04294>
broken
<07665> (8738)_,
[and] the beautiful
<08597>
rod
<04731>_!
Thou daughter
<01323>
that dost inhabit
<03427> (8802)
Dibon
<01769>_,
come down
<03381> (8798)
from [thy] glory
<03519>_,
and sit
<03427> (8798)
in thirst
<06772>_;
for the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>
shall come
<05927> (8804)
upon thee, [and] he shall destroy
<07843> (8765)
thy strong holds
<04013>_.
O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Aroer
<06177>_,
stand
<05975> (8798)
by the way
<01870>_,
and espy
<06822> (8761)_;
ask
<07592> (8798)
him that fleeth
<05127> (8801)_,
and her that escapeth
<04422> (8737)_,
[and] say
<0559> (8798)_,
What is done
<01961> (8738)_?
{inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Moab
<04124>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_;
for it is broken down
<02865> (8804)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
and cry
<02199> (8798)_;
tell
<05046> (8685)
ye it in Arnon
<0769>_,
that Moab
<04124>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
And judgment
<04941>
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon the plain
<04334>
country
<0776>_;
upon Holon
<02473>_,
and upon Jahazah
<03096>_,
and upon Mephaath
<04158>_,
And upon Dibon
<01769>_,
and upon Nebo
<05015>_,
and upon Bethdiblathaim
<01015>_,
And upon Kiriathaim
<07156>_,
and upon Bethgamul
<01014>_,
and upon Bethmeon
<01010>_,
And upon Kerioth
<07152>_,
and upon Bozrah
<01224>_,
and upon all the cities
<05892>
of the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_,
far
<07350>
or near
<07138>_.
The horn
<07161>
of Moab
<04124>
is cut off
<01438> (8738)_,
and his arm
<02220>
is broken
<07665> (8738)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Make ye him drunken
<07937> (8685)_:
for he magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_:
Moab
<04124>
also shall wallow
<05606> (8804)
in his vomit
<06892>_,
and he also shall be in derision
<07814>_.
For was not Israel
<03478>
a derision
<07814>
unto thee? was he found
<04672> (8738)
among thieves
<01590>_?
for since
<01767>
thou spakest
<01697>
of him, thou skippedst
<05110> (8709)
for joy. {skippedst...: or, movedst thyself}
O ye that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in Moab
<04124>_,
leave
<05800> (8798)
the cities
<05892>_,
and dwell
<07931> (8798)
in the rock
<05553>_,
and be like the dove
<03123>
[that] maketh her nest
<07077> (8762)
in the sides
<05676>
of the hole's
<06354>
mouth
<06310>_.
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
the pride
<01347>
of Moab
<04124>_,
(he is exceeding
<03966>
proud
<01343>)
his loftiness
<01363>_,
and his arrogancy
<01346>_,
and his pride
<01347>_,
and the haughtiness
<07312>
of his heart
<03820>_.
I know
<03045> (8804)
his wrath
<05678>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies
<0907>
shall not so effect
<06213> (8804)
[it]. {his lies...: or, those on whom he stayeth (Heb. his bars) do not right}
Therefore will I howl
<03213> (8686)
for Moab
<04124>_,
and I will cry out
<02199> (8799)
for all Moab
<04124>_;
[mine heart] shall mourn
<01897> (8799)
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_.
O vine
<01612>
of Sibmah
<07643>_,
I will weep
<01058> (8799)
for thee with the weeping
<01065>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
thy plants
<05189>
are gone over
<05674> (8804)
the sea
<03220>_,
they reach
<05060> (8804)
[even] to the sea
<03220>
of Jazer
<03270>_:
the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is fallen
<05307> (8804)
upon thy summer fruits
<07019>
and upon thy vintage
<01210>_.
And joy
<08057>
and gladness
<01524>
is taken
<0622> (8738)
from the plentiful field
<03759>_,
and from the land
<0776>
of Moab
<04124>_;
and I have caused wine
<03196>
to fail
<07673> (8689)
from the winepresses
<03342>_:
none shall tread
<01869> (8799)
with shouting
<01959>_;
[their] shouting
<01959>
[shall be] no shouting
<01959>_.
From the cry
<02201>
of Heshbon
<02809>
[even] unto Elealeh
<0500>_,
[and even] unto Jahaz
<03096>_,
have they uttered
<05414> (8804)
their voice
<06963>_,
from Zoar
<06820>
[even] unto Horonaim
<02773>_,
[as] an heifer
<05697>
of three years old
<07992>_:
for the waters
<04325>
also of Nimrim
<05249>
shall be desolate
<04923>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
Moreover I will cause to cease
<07673> (8689)
in Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
him that offereth
<05927> (8688)
in the high places
<01116>_,
and him that burneth incense
<06999> (8688)
to his gods
<0430>_.
Therefore mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
for Moab
<04124>
like pipes
<02485>_,
and mine heart
<03820>
shall sound
<01993> (8799)
like pipes
<02485>
for the men
<0582>
of Kirheres
<07025>_:
because the riches
<03502>
[that] he hath gotten
<06213> (8804)
are perished
<06> (8804)_.
For every head
<07218>
[shall be] bald
<07144>_,
and every beard
<02206>
clipped
<01639> (8803)_:
upon all the hands
<03027>
[shall be] cuttings
<01417>_,
and upon the loins
<04975>
sackcloth
<08242>_.
{clipped: Heb. diminished}
[There shall be] lamentation
<04553>
generally upon all the housetops
<01406>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and in the streets
<07339>
thereof: for I have broken
<07665> (8804)
Moab
<04124>
like a vessel
<03627>
wherein [is] no pleasure
<02656>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They shall howl
<03213> (8685)_,
[saying], How is it broken down
<02865> (8804)_!
how hath Moab
<04124>
turned
<06437> (8689)
the back
<06203>
with shame
<0954> (8804)_!
so shall Moab
<04124>
be a derision
<07814>
and a dismaying
<04288>
to all them about
<05439>
him. {back: Heb. neck}
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, he shall fly
<01675> (8799)
as an eagle
<05404>_,
and shall spread
<06566> (8804)
his wings
<03671>
over Moab
<04124>_.
Kerioth
<07152>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
and the strong holds
<04679>
are surprised
<08610> (8738)_,
and the mighty men's
<01368>
hearts
<03820>
in Moab
<04124>
at that day
<03117>
shall be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
{Kerioth: or, The cities}
And Moab
<04124>
shall be destroyed
<08045> (8738)
from [being] a people
<05971>_,
because he hath magnified
<01431> (8689)
[himself] against the LORD
<03068>_.
Fear
<06343>_,
and the pit
<06354>_,
and the snare
<06341>_,
[shall be] upon thee, O inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Moab
<04124>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
He that fleeth
<05127> (8801) (8675) <05211>
from
<06440>
the fear
<06343>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
into the pit
<06354>_;
and he that getteth up
<05927> (8802)
out of the pit
<06354>
shall be taken
<03920> (8735)
in the snare
<06341>_:
for I will bring
<0935> (8686)
upon it, [even] upon Moab
<04124>_,
the year
<08141>
of their visitation
<06486>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
They that fled
<05127> (8801)
stood
<05975> (8804)
under the shadow
<06738>
of Heshbon
<02809>
because of the force
<03581>_:
but a fire
<0784>
shall come forth
<03318> (8804)
out of Heshbon
<02809>_,
and a flame
<03852>
from the midst
<0996>
of Sihon
<05511>_,
and shall devour
<0398> (8799)
the corner
<06285>
of Moab
<04124>_,
and the crown of the head
<06936>
of the tumultuous
<07588>
ones
<01121>_.
{tumultuous...: Heb. children of noise}
Woe
<0188>
be unto thee, O Moab
<04124>_!
the people
<05971>
of Chemosh
<03645>
perisheth
<06> (8804)_:
for thy sons
<01121>
are taken
<03947> (8795)
captives
<07628>_,
and thy daughters
<01323>
captives
<07633>_.
{captives, and: Heb. in captivity, etc}
Yet will I bring again
<07725> (8804)
the captivity
<07622>
of Moab
<04124>
in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Thus far
<02008>
[is] the judgment
<04941>
of Moab
<04124>_.
Concerning the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Hath Israel
<03478>
no sons
<01121>_?
hath he no heir
<03423> (8802)_?
why [then] doth their king
<04428>
inherit
<03423> (8804)
Gad
<01410>_,
and his people
<05971>
dwell
<03427> (8804)
in his cities
<05892>_?
{Concerning: or, Against} {their king: or, Melcom}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will cause an alarm
<08643>
of war
<04421>
to be heard
<08085> (8689)
in Rabbah
<07237>
of the Ammonites
<01121> <05983>_;
and it shall be a desolate
<08077>
heap
<08510>_,
and her daughters
<01323>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_:
then shall Israel
<03478>
be heir
<03423> (8804)
unto them that were his heirs
<03423> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O Heshbon
<02809>_,
for Ai
<05857>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
cry
<06817> (8798)_,
ye daughters
<01323>
of Rabbah
<07237>_,
gird
<02296> (8798)
you with sackcloth
<08242>_;
lament
<05594> (8798)_,
and run to and fro
<07751> (8708)
by the hedges
<01448>_;
for their king
<04428>
shall go
<03212> (8799)
into captivity
<01473>_,
[and] his priests
<03548>
and his princes
<08269>
together
<03162>_.
{their king: or, Melcom}
Wherefore gloriest
<01984> (8691)
thou in the valleys
<06010>_,
thy flowing
<02100> (8802)
valley
<06010>_,
O backsliding
<07728>
daughter
<01323>_?
that trusted
<0982> (8802)
in her treasures
<0214>_,
[saying], Who shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto me? {thy...: or, thy valley floweth away}
Behold, I will bring
<0935> (8688)
a fear
<06343>
upon thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_,
from all those that be about
<05439>
thee; and ye shall be driven out
<05080> (8738)
every man
<0376>
right forth
<06440>_;
and none shall gather up
<06908> (8764)
him that wandereth
<05074> (8802)_.
And afterward
<0310>
I will bring again
<07725> (8686)
the captivity
<07622>
of the children
<01121>
of Ammon
<05983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Concerning Edom
<0123>_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
[Is] wisdom
<02451>
no more in Teman
<08487>_?
is counsel
<06098>
perished
<06> (8804)
from the prudent
<0995> (8801)_?
is their wisdom
<02451>
vanished
<05628> (8738)_?
Flee
<05127> (8798)
ye, turn back
<06437> (8717)_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Dedan
<01719>_;
for I will bring
<0935> (8689)
the calamity
<0343>
of Esau
<06215>
upon him, the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
him. {turn...: or, they are turned back}
If grapegatherers
<01219> (8802)
come
<0935> (8804)
to thee, would they not leave
<07604> (8686)
[some] gleaning grapes
<05955>_?
if thieves
<01590>
by night
<03915>_,
they will destroy
<07843> (8689)
till they have enough
<01767>_.
{till...: Heb. their sufficiency}
But I have made Esau
<06215>
bare
<02834> (8804)_,
I have uncovered
<01540> (8765)
his secret places
<04565>_,
and he shall not be able
<03201> (8799)
to hide
<02247> (8736)
himself: his seed
<02233>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_,
and his brethren
<0251>_,
and his neighbours
<07934>_,
and he [is] not.
Leave
<05800> (8798)
thy fatherless children
<03490>_,
I will preserve [them] alive
<02421> (8762)_;
and let thy widows
<0490>
trust
<0982> (8799)
in me.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, they whose judgment
<04941>
[was] not to drink
<08354> (8800)
of the cup
<03563>
have assuredly
<08354> (8800)
drunken
<08354> (8799)_;
and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether
<05352> (8800)
go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_?
thou shalt not go unpunished
<05352> (8735)_,
but thou shalt surely
<08354> (8800)
drink
<08354> (8799)
[of it].
For I have sworn
<07650> (8738)
by myself, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that Bozrah
<01224>
shall become a desolation
<08047>_,
a reproach
<02781>_,
a waste
<02721>_,
and a curse
<07045>_;
and all the cities
<05892>
thereof shall be perpetual
<05769>
wastes
<02723>_.
I have heard
<08085> (8804)
a rumour
<08052>
from the LORD
<03068>_,
and an ambassador
<06735>
is sent
<07971> (8803)
unto the heathen
<01471>_,
[saying], Gather ye together
<06908> (8690)_,
and come
<0935> (8798)
against her, and rise up
<06965> (8798)
to the battle
<04421>_.
For, lo, I will make
<05414> (8804)
thee small
<06996>
among the heathen
<01471>_,
[and] despised
<0959> (8803)
among men
<0120>_.
Thy terribleness
<08606>
hath deceived
<05377> (8689)
thee, [and] the pride
<02087>
of thine heart
<03820>_,
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802)
in the clefts
<02288>
of the rock
<05553>_,
that holdest
<08610> (8802)
the height
<04791>
of the hill
<01389>_:
though thou shouldest make thy nest
<07064>
as high
<01361> (8686)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
I will bring thee down
<03381> (8686)
from thence, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Also Edom
<0123>
shall be a desolation
<08047>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by it shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and shall hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all the plagues
<04347>
thereof.
As in the overthrow
<04114>
of Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
no man
<0376>
shall abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall a son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
against the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will suddenly
<07280> (8686)
make him run away
<07323> (8686)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me in judgment?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Edom
<0123>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Teman
<08487>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make their habitations
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
The earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8804)
at the noise
<06963>
of their fall
<05307> (8800)_,
at the cry
<06818>
the noise
<06963>
thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)
in the Red
<05488>
sea
<03220>_.
{Red sea: Heb. Weedy sea}
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
and fly
<01675> (8799)
as the eagle
<05404>_,
and spread
<06566> (8799)
his wings
<03671>
over Bozrah
<01224>_:
and at that day
<03117>
shall the heart
<03820>
of the mighty men
<01368>
of Edom
<0123>
be as the heart
<03820>
of a woman
<0802>
in her pangs
<06887> (8688)_.
Concerning Damascus
<01834>_.
Hamath
<02574>
is confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
and Arpad
<0774>_:
for they have heard
<08085> (8804)
evil
<07451>
tidings
<08052>_:
they are fainthearted
<04127> (8738)_;
[there is] sorrow
<01674>
on the sea
<03220>_;
it cannot
<03201> (8799)
be quiet
<08252> (8687)_.
{fainthearted: Heb. melted} {on...: or, as on the sea}
Damascus
<01834>
is waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_,
[and] turneth
<06437> (8689)
herself to flee
<05127> (8800)_,
and fear
<07374>
hath seized
<02388> (8689)
on [her]: anguish
<06869>
and sorrows
<02256>
have taken
<0270> (8804)
her, as a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
How is the city
<05892>
of praise
<08416>
not left
<05800> (8795)_,
the city
<07151>
of my joy
<04885>_!
Therefore her young men
<0970>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in her streets
<07339>_,
and all the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
And I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in the wall
<02346>
of Damascus
<01834>_,
and it shall consume
<0398> (8804)
the palaces
<0759>
of Benhadad
<01130>_.
Concerning Kedar
<06938>_,
and concerning the kingdoms
<04467>
of Hazor
<02674>_,
which Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall smite
<05221> (8689)_,
thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Arise
<06965> (8798)
ye, go up
<05927> (8798)
to Kedar
<06938>_,
and spoil
<07703> (8798)
the men
<01121>
of the east
<06924>_.
Their tents
<0168>
and their flocks
<06629>
shall they take away
<03947> (8799)_:
they shall take
<05375> (8799)
to themselves their curtains
<03407>_,
and all their vessels
<03627>_,
and their camels
<01581>_;
and they shall cry
<07121> (8804)
unto them, Fear
<04032>
[is] on every side
<05439>_.
Flee
<05127> (8798)_,
get
<05110> (8798)
you far off
<03966>_,
dwell
<03427> (8800)
deep
<06009> (8689)_,
O ye inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Hazor
<02674>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
for Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath taken counsel
<06098> <03289> (8804)
against you, and hath conceived
<02803> (8804)
a purpose
<04284>
against you. {get...: Heb. flit greatly}
Arise
<06965> (8798)_,
get you up
<05927> (8798)
unto the wealthy
<07961>
nation
<01471>_,
that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)
without care
<0983>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which have neither gates
<01817>
nor bars
<01280>_,
[which] dwell
<07931> (8799)
alone
<0910>_.
{wealthy: or, that is at ease}
And their camels
<01581>
shall be a booty
<0957>_,
and the multitude
<01995>
of their cattle
<04735>
a spoil
<07998>_:
and I will scatter
<02219> (8765)
into all winds
<07307>
them [that are] in the utmost
<07112> (8803)
corners
<06285>_;
and I will bring
<0935> (8686)
their calamity
<0343>
from all sides
<05676>
thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{in...: Heb. cut off into corners, or, that have the corners of their hair polled}
And Hazor
<02674>
shall be a dwelling
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
[and] a desolation
<08077>
for
<05704>
ever
<05769>_:
there shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, nor [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
in it.
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
that came to Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
against Elam
<05867>
in the beginning
<07225>
of the reign
<04438>
of Zedekiah
<06667>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
Behold, I will break
<07665> (8799)
the bow
<07198>
of Elam
<05867>_,
the chief
<07225>
of their might
<01369>_.
And upon Elam
<05867>
will I bring
<0935> (8689)
the four
<0702>
winds
<07307>
from the four
<0702>
quarters
<07098>
of heaven
<08064>_,
and will scatter
<02219> (8765)
them toward all those winds
<07307>_;
and there shall be no nation
<01471>
whither the outcasts
<05080> (8737)
of Elam
<05867> (8675) <05769>
shall not come
<0935> (8799)_.
For I will cause Elam
<05867>
to be dismayed
<02865> (8689)
before
<06440>
their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,
and before
<06440>
them that seek
<01245> (8764)
their life
<05315>_:
and I will bring
<0935> (8689)
evil
<07451>
upon them, [even] my fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
and I will send
<07971> (8765)
the sword
<02719>
after
<0310>
them, till I have consumed
<03615> (8763)
them:
And I will set
<07760> (8804)
my throne
<03678>
in Elam
<05867>_,
and will destroy
<06> (8689)
from thence the king
<04428>
and the princes
<08269>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
But it shall come to pass in the latter
<0319>
days
<03117>_,
[that] I will bring again
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)
the captivity
<07622> (8675) <07622>
of Elam
<05867>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
The word
<01697>
that the LORD
<03068>
spake
<01696> (8765)
against Babylon
<0894>
[and] against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>
by
<03027>
Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>_.
{by...: Heb. by the hand of Jeremiah}
Declare
<05046> (8685)
ye among the nations
<01471>_,
and publish
<08085> (8685)_,
and set up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>_;
publish
<08085> (8685)_,
[and] conceal
<03582> (8762)
not: say
<0559> (8798)_,
Babylon
<0894>
is taken
<03920> (8738)_,
Bel
<01078>
is confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
Merodach
<04781>
is broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_;
her idols
<06091>
are confounded
<03001> (8689)_,
her images
<01544>
are broken in pieces
<02865> (8804)_.
{set up: Heb. lift up}
For out of the north
<06828>
there cometh up
<05927> (8804)
a nation
<01471>
against her, which shall make
<07896> (8799)
her land
<0776>
desolate
<08047>_,
and none shall dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein: they shall remove
<05110> (8804)_,
they shall depart
<01980> (8804)_,
both man
<0120>
and beast
<0929>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
shall come
<0935> (8799)_,
they and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
together
<03162>_,
going
<01980> (8800)
and weeping
<01058> (8800)_:
they shall go
<03212> (8799)_,
and seek
<01245> (8762)
the LORD
<03068>
their God
<0430>_.
They shall ask
<07592> (8799)
the way
<01870>
to Zion
<06726>
with their faces
<06440>
thitherward
<02008>_,
[saying], Come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us join
<03867> (8738)
ourselves to the LORD
<03068>
in a perpetual
<05769>
covenant
<01285>
[that] shall not be forgotten
<07911> (8735)_.
My people
<05971>
hath been lost
<06> (8802)
sheep
<06629>_:
their shepherds
<07462> (8802)
have caused them to go astray
<08582> (8689)_,
they have turned them away
<07725> (8790) (8675) <07726>
[on] the mountains
<02022>_:
they have gone
<01980> (8804)
from mountain
<02022>
to hill
<01389>_,
they have forgotten
<07911> (8804)
their restingplace
<07258>_.
{restingplace: Heb. place to lie down in}
All that found
<04672> (8802)
them have devoured
<0398> (8804)
them: and their adversaries
<06862>
said
<0559> (8804)_,
We offend
<0816> (8799)
not, because they have sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
the habitation
<05116>
of justice
<06664>_,
even the LORD
<03068>_,
the hope
<04723>
of their fathers
<01>_.
Remove
<05110> (8798)
out of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and go forth
<03318> (8798) (8675) <03318> (8799)
out of the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and be as the he goats
<06260>
before
<06440>
the flocks
<06629>_.
For, lo, I will raise
<05782> (8688)
and cause to come up
<05927> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>
an assembly
<06951>
of great
<01419>
nations
<01471>
from the north
<06828>
country
<0776>_:
and they shall set themselves in array
<06186> (8804)
against her; from thence she shall be taken
<03920> (8735)_:
their arrows
<02671>
[shall be] as of a mighty
<01368>
expert man
<07919> (8688) (8676) <07921> (8688)_;
none shall return
<07725> (8799)
in vain
<07387>_.
{expert...: or, destroyer}
And Chaldea
<03778>
shall be a spoil
<07998>_:
all that spoil
<07997> (8802)
her shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Because ye were glad
<08055> (8799)_,
because ye rejoiced
<05937> (8799)_,
O ye destroyers
<08154> (8802)
of mine heritage
<05159>_,
because ye are grown fat
<06335> (8799)
as the heifer
<05697>
at grass
<01877> (8676) <01758> (8801)_,
and bellow
<06670> (8799)
as bulls
<047>_;
{fat: Heb. big, or, corpulent} {bellow...: or, neigh as steeds}
Your mother
<0517>
shall be sore
<03966>
confounded
<0954> (8804)_;
she that bare
<03205> (8802)
you shall be ashamed
<02659> (8804)_:
behold, the hindermost
<0319>
of the nations
<01471>
[shall be] a wilderness
<04057>_,
a dry land
<06723>_,
and a desert
<06160>_.
Because of the wrath
<07110>
of the LORD
<03068>
it shall not be inhabited
<03427> (8799)_,
but it shall be wholly desolate
<08077>_:
every one that goeth
<05674> (8802)
by Babylon
<0894>
shall be astonished
<08074> (8799)_,
and hiss
<08319> (8799)
at all her plagues
<04347>_.
Put yourselves in array
<06186> (8798)
against Babylon
<0894>
round about
<05439>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
shoot
<03034> (8798)
at her, spare
<02550> (8799)
no arrows
<02671>_:
for she hath sinned
<02398> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
Shout
<07321> (8685)
against her round about
<05439>_:
she hath given
<05414> (8804)
her hand
<03027>_:
her foundations
<0803>
are fallen
<05307> (8804)_,
her walls
<02346>
are thrown down
<02040> (8738)_:
for it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
take vengeance
<05358> (8734)
upon her; as she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her.
Cut off
<03772> (8798)
the sower
<02232> (8802)
from Babylon
<0894>_,
and him that handleth
<08610> (8802)
the sickle
<04038>
in the time
<06256>
of harvest
<07105>_:
for fear
<06440>
of the oppressing
<03238> (8802)
sword
<02719>
they shall turn
<06437> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his people
<05971>_,
and they shall flee
<05127> (8799)
every one
<0376>
to his own land
<0776>_.
{sickle; or, scythe}
Israel
<03478>
[is] a scattered
<06340> (8801)
sheep
<07716>_;
the lions
<0738>
have driven [him] away
<05080> (8689)_:
first
<07223>
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
him; and last
<0314>
this Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath broken his bones
<06105> (8765)_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
Behold, I will punish
<06485> (8802)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
and his land
<0776>_,
as I have punished
<06485> (8804)
the king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_.
And I will bring
<07725> (0)
Israel
<03478>
again
<07725> (8790)
to his habitation
<05116>_,
and he shall feed
<07462> (8804)
on Carmel
<03760>
and Bashan
<01316>_,
and his soul
<05315>
shall be satisfied
<07646> (8799)
upon mount
<02022>
Ephraim
<0669>
and Gilead
<01568>_.
In those days
<03117>_,
and in that time
<06256>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
the iniquity
<05771>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be sought for
<01245> (8792)_,
and [there shall be] none; and the sins
<02403>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and they shall not be found
<04672> (8735)_:
for I will pardon
<05545> (8799)
them whom I reserve
<07604> (8686)_.
Go up
<05927> (8798)
against the land
<0776>
of Merathaim
<04850>_,
[even] against it, and against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Pekod
<06489>_:
waste
<02717> (8798)
and utterly destroy
<02763> (8687)
after
<0310>
them, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
according to all that I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee. {of Merathaim: or, of the rebels} {Pekod: or, Visitation}
A sound
<06963>
of battle
<04421>
[is] in the land
<0776>_,
and of great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>_.
How is the hammer
<06360>
of the whole earth
<0776>
cut asunder
<01438> (8738)
and broken
<07665> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become a desolation
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
I have laid a snare
<03369> (8804)
for thee, and thou art also taken
<03920> (8738)_,
O Babylon
<0894>_,
and thou wast not aware
<03045> (8804)_:
thou art found
<04672> (8738)_,
and also caught
<08610> (8738)_,
because thou hast striven
<01624> (8694)
against the LORD
<03068>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath opened
<06605> (8804)
his armoury
<0214>_,
and hath brought forth
<03318> (8686)
the weapons
<03627>
of his indignation
<02195>_:
for this [is] the work
<04399>
of the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_.
Come
<0935> (8798)
against her from the utmost border
<07093>_,
open
<06605> (8798)
her storehouses
<03965>_:
cast her up
<05549> (8798)
as heaps
<06194>_,
and destroy her utterly
<02763> (8685)_:
let nothing of her be left
<07611>_.
{from...: Heb. from the end} {cast...: or, tread her}
Slay
<02717> (8798)
all her bullocks
<06499>_;
let them go down
<03381> (8799)
to the slaughter
<02874>_:
woe
<01945>
unto them! for their day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>_.
The voice
<06963>
of them that flee
<05127> (8801)
and escape out
<06405>
of the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
to declare
<05046> (8687)
in Zion
<06726>
the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
Call together
<08085> (8685)
the archers
<07228>
against Babylon
<0894>_:
all ye that bend
<01869> (8802)
the bow
<07198>_,
camp
<02583> (8798)
against it round about
<05439>_;
let none thereof escape
<06413>_:
recompense
<07999> (8761)
her according to her work
<06467>_;
according to all that she hath done
<06213> (8804)_,
do
<06213> (8798)
unto her: for she hath been proud
<02102> (8804)
against the LORD
<03068>_,
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Therefore shall her young men
<0970>
fall
<05307> (8799)
in the streets
<07339>_,
and all her men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
shall be cut off
<01826> (8735)
in that day
<03117>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, [O thou] most proud
<02087>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
of hosts
<06635>_:
for thy day
<03117>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
the time
<06256>
[that] I will visit
<06485> (8804)
thee. {most...: Heb. pride}
And the most proud
<02087>
shall stumble
<03782> (8804)
and fall
<05307> (8804)_,
and none shall raise him up
<06965> (8688)_:
and I will kindle
<03341> (8689)
a fire
<0784>
in his cities
<05892>_,
and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)
all round about
<05439>
him. {the...: Heb. pride}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The children
<01121>
of Israel
<03478>
and the children
<01121>
of Judah
<03063>
[were] oppressed
<06231> (8803)
together
<03162>_:
and all that took them captives
<07617> (8802)
held them fast
<02388> (8689)_;
they refused
<03985> (8765)
to let them go
<07971> (8763)_.
Their Redeemer
<01350> (8802)
[is] strong
<02389>_;
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_:
he shall throughly
<07378> (8800)
plead
<07378> (8799)
their cause
<07379>_,
that he may give rest
<07280> (8689)
to the land
<0776>_,
and disquiet
<07264> (8689)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
and upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and upon her princes
<08269>_,
and upon her wise
<02450>
[men].
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon the liars
<0907>_;
and they shall dote
<02973> (8738)_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her mighty men
<01368>_;
and they shall be dismayed
<02865> (8804)_.
{liars: or, chief stays: Heb. bars}
A sword
<02719>
[is] upon their horses
<05483>_,
and upon their chariots
<07393>_,
and upon all the mingled people
<06153>
that [are] in the midst
<08432>
of her; and they shall become as women
<0802>_:
a sword
<02719>
[is] upon her treasures
<0214>_;
and they shall be robbed
<0962> (8795)_.
A drought
<02721>
[is] upon her waters
<04325>_;
and they shall be dried up
<03001> (8804)_:
for it [is] the land
<0776>
of graven images
<06456>_,
and they are mad
<01984> (8704)
upon [their] idols
<0367>_.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert
<06728>
with the wild beasts of the islands
<0338>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
[there], and the owls
<01323> <03284>
shall dwell
<03427> (8804)
therein: and it shall be no more inhabited
<03427> (8799)
for ever
<05331>_;
neither shall it be dwelt
<07931> (8799)
in from generation
<01755>
to generation
<01755>_.
As God
<0430>
overthrew
<04114>
Sodom
<05467>
and Gomorrah
<06017>
and the neighbour
<07934>
[cities] thereof, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_;
[so] shall no man
<0376>
abide
<03427> (8799)
there, neither shall any son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
dwell
<01481> (8799)
therein.
Behold, a people
<05971>
shall come
<0935> (8802)
from the north
<06828>_,
and a great
<01419>
nation
<01471>_,
and many
<07227>
kings
<04428>
shall be raised up
<05782> (8735)
from the coasts
<03411>
of the earth
<0776>_.
They shall hold
<02388> (8686)
the bow
<07198>
and the lance
<03591>_:
they [are] cruel
<0394>_,
and will not shew mercy
<07355> (8762)_:
their voice
<06963>
shall roar
<01993> (8799)
like the sea
<03220>_,
and they shall ride
<07392> (8799)
upon horses
<05483>_,
[every one] put in array
<06186> (8803)_,
like a man
<0376>
to the battle
<04421>_,
against thee, O daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>_.
The king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath heard
<08085> (8804)
the report
<08088>
of them, and his hands
<03027>
waxed feeble
<07503> (8804)_:
anguish
<06869>
took hold
<02388> (8689)
of him, [and] pangs
<02427>
as of a woman in travail
<03205> (8802)_.
Behold, he shall come up
<05927> (8799)
like a lion
<0738>
from the swelling
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
unto the habitation
<05116>
of the strong
<0386>_:
but I will make
<07323> (0)
them suddenly
<07280> (8686)
run away
<07323> (8686) (8675) <07323> (8799)
from her: and who [is] a chosen
<0977> (8803)
[man, that] I may appoint
<06485> (8799)
over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time
<03259> (8686)_?
and who [is] that shepherd
<07462> (8802)
that will stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
me? {appoint me...: or, convent me to plead?}
Therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
ye the counsel
<06098>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that he hath taken
<03289> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_;
and his purposes
<04284>_,
that he hath purposed
<02803> (8804)
against the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Surely the least
<06810>
of the flock
<06629>
shall draw them out
<05498> (8799)_:
surely he shall make [their] habitation
<05116>
desolate
<08074> (8686)
with them.
At the noise
<06963>
of the taking
<08610> (8738)
of Babylon
<0894>
the earth
<0776>
is moved
<07493> (8735)_,
and the cry
<02201>
is heard
<08085> (8738)
among the nations
<01471>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will raise up
<05782> (8688)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
and against them that dwell
<03427> (8802)
in the midst
<03820>
of them that rise up
<06965> (8801)
against me, a destroying
<07843> (8688)
wind
<07307>_;
{midst: Heb. heart}
And will send
<07971> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
fanners
<02114> (8801)_,
that shall fan
<02219> (8765)
her, and shall empty
<01238> (8787)
her land
<0776>_:
for in the day
<03117>
of trouble
<07451>
they shall be against her round about
<05439>_.
Against [him that] bendeth
<01869> (0)
let the archer
<01869> (8802)
bend
<01869> (8799)
his bow
<07198>_,
and against [him that] lifteth himself up
<05927> (8691)
in his brigandine
<05630>_:
and spare
<02550> (8799)
ye not her young men
<0970>_;
destroy ye utterly
<02763> (8685)
all her host
<06635>_.
Thus the slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
in the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_,
and [they that are] thrust through
<01856> (8794)
in her streets
<02351>_.
For Israel
<03478>
[hath] not [been] forsaken
<0488>_,
nor Judah
<03063>
of his God
<0430>_,
of the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
though their land
<0776>
was filled
<04390> (8804)
with sin
<0817>
against the Holy One
<06918>
of Israel
<03478>_.
Flee out
<05127> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
and deliver
<04422> (8761)
every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>_:
be not cut off
<01826> (8735)
in her iniquity
<05771>_;
for this [is] the time
<06256>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
vengeance
<05360>_;
he will render
<07999> (8764)
unto her a recompence
<01576>_.
Babylon
<0894>
[hath been] a golden
<02091>
cup
<03563>
in the LORD'S
<03068>
hand
<03027>_,
that made all the earth
<0776>
drunken
<07937> (8764)_:
the nations
<01471>
have drunken
<08354> (8804)
of her wine
<03196>_;
therefore the nations
<01471>
are mad
<01984> (8704)_.
Babylon
<0894>
is suddenly
<06597>
fallen
<05307> (8804)
and destroyed
<07665> (8735)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)
for her; take
<03947> (8798)
balm
<06875>
for her pain
<04341>_,
if so be she may be healed
<07495> (8735)_.
We would have healed
<07495> (8765)
Babylon
<0894>_,
but she is not healed
<07495> (8738)_:
forsake
<05800> (8798)
her, and let us go
<03212> (8799)
every one
<0376>
into his own country
<0776>_:
for her judgment
<04941>
reacheth
<05060> (8804)
unto heaven
<08064>_,
and is lifted up
<05375> (8738)
[even] to the skies
<07834>_.
The LORD
<03068>
hath brought forth
<03318> (8689)
our righteousness
<06666>_:
come
<0935> (8798)_,
and let us declare
<05608> (8762)
in Zion
<06726>
the work
<04639>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
Make bright
<01305> (8685)
the arrows
<02671>_;
gather
<04390> (8798)
the shields
<07982>_:
the LORD
<03068>
hath raised up
<05782> (8689)
the spirit
<07307>
of the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_:
for his device
<04209>
[is] against Babylon
<0894>_,
to destroy
<07843> (8687)
it; because it [is] the vengeance
<05360>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
the vengeance
<05360>
of his temple
<01964>_.
{bright: Heb. pure}
Set up
<05375> (8798)
the standard
<05251>
upon the walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>_,
make the watch
<04929>
strong
<02388> (8685)_,
set up
<06965> (8685)
the watchmen
<08104> (8802)_,
prepare
<03559> (8685)
the ambushes
<0693> (8802)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
hath both devised
<02161> (8804)
and done
<06213> (8804)
that which he spake
<01696> (8765)
against the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Babylon
<0894>_.
{ambushes: Heb. liers in wait}
O thou that dwellest
<07931> (8802) (8675) <07931> (8804)
upon many
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
abundant
<07227>
in treasures
<0214>_,
thine end
<07093>
is come
<0935> (8802)_,
[and] the measure
<0520>
of thy covetousness
<01215>_.
The LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
hath sworn
<07650> (8738)
by himself
<05315>_,
[saying], Surely I will fill
<04390> (8765)
thee with men
<0120>_,
as with caterpillers
<03218>_;
and they shall lift up
<06030> (8804)
a shout
<01959>
against thee. {by himself: Heb. by his soul} {lift up: Heb. utter}
He hath made
<06213> (8802)
the earth
<0776>
by his power
<03581>_,
he hath established
<03559> (8688)
the world
<08398>
by his wisdom
<02451>_,
and hath stretched out
<05186> (8804)
the heaven
<08064>
by his understanding
<08394>_.
When he uttereth
<05414> (8800)
[his] voice
<06963>_,
[there is] a multitude
<01995>
of waters
<04325>
in the heavens
<08064>_;
and he causeth the vapours
<05387>
to ascend
<05927> (8686)
from the ends
<07097>
of the earth
<0776>_:
he maketh
<06213> (8804)
lightnings
<01300>
with rain
<04306>_,
and bringeth forth
<03318> (8686)
the wind
<07307>
out of his treasures
<0214>_.
{multitude: or, noise}
Every man
<0120>
is brutish
<01197> (8738)
by [his] knowledge
<01847>_;
every founder
<06884> (8802)
is confounded
<03001> (8689)
by the graven image
<06459>_:
for his molten image
<05262>
[is] falsehood
<08267>_,
and [there is] no breath
<07307>
in them. {is brutish...: or, is more brutish than to know}
They [are] vanity
<01892>_,
the work
<04639>
of errors
<08595>_:
in the time
<06256>
of their visitation
<06486>
they shall perish
<06> (8799)_.
The portion
<02506>
of Jacob
<03290>
[is] not like them; for he [is] the former
<03335> (8802)
of all things: and [Israel is] the rod
<07626>
of his inheritance
<05159>_:
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
[is] his name
<08034>_.
Thou [art] my battle axe
<04661>
[and] weapons
<03627>
of war
<04421>_:
for with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the nations
<01471>_,
and with thee will I destroy
<07843> (8689)
kingdoms
<04467>_;
{with thee: or, in thee, or, by thee}
And with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the horse
<05483>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the chariot
<07393>
and his rider
<07392> (8802)_;
With thee also will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
man
<0376>
and woman
<0802>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
old
<02205>
and young
<05288>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the young man
<0970>
and the maid
<01330>_;
I will also break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
with thee the shepherd
<07462> (8802)
and his flock
<05739>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
the husbandman
<0406>
and his yoke of oxen
<06776>_;
and with thee will I break in pieces
<05310> (8765)
captains
<06346>
and rulers
<05461>_.
And I will render
<07999> (8765)
unto Babylon
<0894>
and to all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>
all their evil
<07451>
that they have done
<06213> (8804)
in Zion
<06726>
in your sight
<05869>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, O destroying
<04889>
mountain
<02022>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
which destroyest
<07843> (8688)
all the earth
<0776>_:
and I will stretch out
<05186> (8804)
mine hand
<03027>
upon thee, and roll thee down
<01556> (8773)
from the rocks
<05553>_,
and will make
<05414> (8804)
thee a burnt
<08316>
mountain
<02022>_.
And they shall not take
<03947> (8799)
of thee a stone
<068>
for a corner
<06438>_,
nor a stone
<068>
for foundations
<04146>_;
but thou shalt be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
{desolate...: Heb. everlasting desolations}
Set ye up
<05375> (8798)
a standard
<05251>
in the land
<0776>_,
blow
<08628> (8798)
the trumpet
<07782>
among the nations
<01471>_,
prepare
<06942> (8761)
the nations
<01471>
against her, call together
<08085> (8685)
against her the kingdoms
<04467>
of Ararat
<0780>_,
Minni
<04508>_,
and Ashchenaz
<0813>_;
appoint
<06485> (8798)
a captain
<02951>
against her; cause the horses
<05483>
to come up
<05927> (8685)
as the rough
<05569>
caterpillers
<03218>_.
Prepare
<06942> (8761)
against her the nations
<01471>
with the kings
<04428>
of the Medes
<04074>_,
the captains
<06346>
thereof, and all the rulers
<05461>
thereof, and all the land
<0776>
of his dominion
<04475>_.
And the land
<0776>
shall tremble
<07493> (8799)
and sorrow
<02342> (8799)_:
for every purpose
<04284>
of the LORD
<03068>
shall be performed
<06965> (8804)
against Babylon
<0894>_,
to make
<07760> (8800)
the land
<0776>
of Babylon
<0894>
a desolation
<08047>
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
The mighty men
<01368>
of Babylon
<0894>
have forborn
<02308> (8804)
to fight
<03898> (8736)_,
they have remained
<03427> (8804)
in [their] holds
<04679>_:
their might
<01369>
hath failed
<05405> (8804)_;
they became as women
<0802>_:
they have burned
<03341> (8689)
her dwellingplaces
<04908>_;
her bars
<01280>
are broken
<07665> (8738)_.
One post
<07323> (8801)
shall run
<07323> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<07323> (8801)_,
and one messenger
<05046> (8688)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
another
<05046> (8688)_,
to shew
<05046> (8687)
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
that his city
<05892>
is taken
<03920> (8738)
at [one] end
<07097>_,
And that the passages
<04569>
are stopped
<08610> (8738)_,
and the reeds
<098>
they have burned
<08313> (8804)
with fire
<0784>_,
and the men
<0582>
of war
<04421>
are affrighted
<0926> (8738)_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
the God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_;
The daughter
<01323>
of Babylon
<0894>
[is] like a threshingfloor
<01637>_,
[it is] time
<06256>
to thresh
<01869> (8687)
her: yet a little while
<04592>_,
and the time
<06256>
of her harvest
<07105>
shall come
<0935> (8804)_.
{it is...: or, in the time that he thresheth her}
Nebuchadrezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
hath devoured
<0398> (8804)
me, he hath crushed
<02000> (8804)
me, he hath made
<03322> (8689)
me an empty
<07385>
vessel
<03627>_,
he hath swallowed me up
<01104> (8804)
like a dragon
<08577>_,
he hath filled
<04390> (8765)
his belly
<03770>
with my delicates
<05730>_,
he hath cast me out
<01740> (8689)_.
The violence
<02555>
done to me and to my flesh
<07607>
[be] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
shall the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)
of Zion
<06726>
say
<0559> (8799)_;
and my blood
<01818>
upon the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of Chaldea
<03778>_,
shall Jerusalem
<03389>
say
<0559> (8799)_.
{The violence...: Heb. My violence} {flesh: or, remainder} {inhabitant: Heb. inhabitress}
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Behold, I will plead
<07378> (8801)
thy cause
<07379>_,
and take vengeance
<05358> (8765)
for thee
<05360>_;
and I will dry up
<02717> (8689)
her sea
<03220>_,
and make her springs
<04726>
dry
<03001> (8689)_.
And Babylon
<0894>
shall become heaps
<01530>_,
a dwellingplace
<04583>
for dragons
<08577>_,
an astonishment
<08047>_,
and an hissing
<08322>_,
without an inhabitant
<03427> (8802)_.
They shall roar
<07580> (8799)
together
<03162>
like lions
<03715>_:
they shall yell
<05286> (8804)
as lions
<0738>_'
whelps
<01484>_.
{yell: or, shake themselves}
In their heat
<02527>
I will make
<07896> (8799)
their feasts
<04960>_,
and I will make them drunken
<07937> (8689)_,
that they may rejoice
<05937> (8799)_,
and sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
I will bring them down
<03381> (8686)
like lambs
<03733>
to the slaughter
<02873> (8800)_,
like rams
<0352>
with he goats
<06260>_.
How is Sheshach
<08347>
taken
<03920> (8738)_!
and how is the praise
<08416>
of the whole earth
<0776>
surprised
<08610> (8735)_!
how is Babylon
<0894>
become an astonishment
<08047>
among the nations
<01471>_!
The sea
<03220>
is come up
<05927> (8804)
upon Babylon
<0894>_:
she is covered
<03680> (8738)
with the multitude
<01995>
of the waves
<01530>
thereof.
Her cities
<05892>
are a desolation
<08047>_,
a dry
<06723>
land
<0776>_,
and a wilderness
<06160>_,
a land
<0776>
wherein no man
<0376>
dwelleth
<03427> (8799)_,
neither doth [any] son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
pass
<05674> (8799)
thereby
<02004>_.
And I will punish
<06485> (8804)
Bel
<01078>
in Babylon
<0894>_,
and I will bring forth
<03318> (8689)
out of his mouth
<06310>
that which he hath swallowed up
<01105>_:
and the nations
<01471>
shall not flow together
<05102> (8799)
any more unto him: yea, the wall
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)_.
My people
<05971>_,
go ye out
<03318> (8798)
of the midst
<08432>
of her, and deliver
<04422> (8761)
ye every man
<0376>
his soul
<05315>
from the fierce
<02740>
anger
<0639>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
And lest your heart
<03824>
faint
<07401> (8735)_,
and ye fear
<03372> (8799)
for the rumour
<08052>
that shall be heard
<08085> (8737)
in the land
<0776>_;
a rumour
<08052>
shall both come
<0935> (8804)
[one] year
<08141>_,
and after
<0310>
that in [another] year
<08141>
[shall come] a rumour
<08052>_,
and violence
<02555>
in the land
<0776>_,
ruler
<04910> (8802)
against ruler
<04910> (8802)_.
{lest: or, let not}
Therefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon the graven images
<06456>
of Babylon
<0894>_:
and her whole land
<0776>
shall be confounded
<0954> (8799)_,
and all her slain
<02491>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
in the midst
<08432>
of her. {do...: Heb. visit upon}
Then the heaven
<08064>
and the earth
<0776>_,
and all that [is] therein, shall sing
<07442> (8765)
for Babylon
<0894>_:
for the spoilers
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
unto her from the north
<06828>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
As
<01571>
Babylon
<0894>
[hath caused] the slain
<02491>
of Israel
<03478>
to fall
<05307> (8800)_,
so at Babylon
<0894>
shall fall
<05307> (8804)
the slain
<02491>
of all the earth
<0776>_.
{As...: or, Both Babylon is to fall, O ye slain of Israel, and with Babylon, etc} {the earth: or, the country}
Ye that have escaped
<06405>
the sword
<02719>_,
go away
<01980> (8798)_,
stand not still
<05975> (8799)_:
remember
<02142> (8798)
the LORD
<03068>
afar off
<07350>_,
and let Jerusalem
<03389>
come
<05927> (8799)
into your mind
<03824>_.
We are confounded
<0954> (8804)_,
because we have heard
<08085> (8804)
reproach
<02781>_:
shame
<03639>
hath covered
<03680> (8765)
our faces
<06440>_:
for strangers
<02114> (8801)
are come
<0935> (8804)
into the sanctuaries
<04720>
of the LORD'S
<03068>
house
<01004>_.
Wherefore, behold, the days
<03117>
come
<0935> (8802)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_,
that I will do judgment
<06485> (8804)
upon her graven images
<06456>_:
and through all her land
<0776>
the wounded
<02491>
shall groan
<0602> (8799)_.
Though Babylon
<0894>
should mount up
<05927> (8799)
to heaven
<08064>_,
and though she should fortify
<01219> (8762)
the height
<04791>
of her strength
<05797>_,
[yet]
<0227>
from me shall spoilers
<07703> (8802)
come
<0935> (8799)
unto her, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_.
A sound
<06963>
of a cry
<02201>
[cometh] from Babylon
<0894>_,
and great
<01419>
destruction
<07667>
from the land
<0776>
of the Chaldeans
<03778>_:
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath spoiled
<07703> (8802)
Babylon
<0894>_,
and destroyed
<06> (8765)
out of her the great
<01419>
voice
<06963>_;
when her waves
<01530>
do roar
<01993> (8804)
like great
<07227>
waters
<04325>_,
a noise
<07588>
of their voice
<06963>
is uttered
<05414> (8738)_:
Because the spoiler
<07703> (8802)
is come
<0935> (8804)
upon her, [even] upon Babylon
<0894>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>
are taken
<03920> (8738)_,
every one of their bows
<07198>
is broken
<02865> (8765)_:
for the LORD
<03068>
God
<0410>
of recompences
<01578>
shall surely
<07999> (8763)
requite
<07999> (8762)_.
And I will make drunk
<07937> (8689)
her princes
<08269>_,
and her wise
<02450>
[men], her captains
<06346>_,
and her rulers
<05461>_,
and her mighty men
<01368>_:
and they shall sleep
<03462> (8804)
a perpetual
<05769>
sleep
<08142>_,
and not wake
<06974> (8686)_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the King
<04428>_,
whose name
<08034>
[is] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
The broad
<07342>
walls
<02346>
of Babylon
<0894>
shall be utterly
<06209> (8771)
broken
<06209> (8698)_,
and her high
<01364>
gates
<08179>
shall be burned
<03341> (8799)
with fire
<0784>_;
and the people
<05971>
shall labour
<03021> (8799)
in vain
<07385>_,
and the folk
<03816>
in
<01767>
the fire
<0784>_,
and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
{The broad...: or, The walls of broad Babylon} {broken: or, made naked}
The word
<01697>
which Jeremiah
<03414>
the prophet
<05030>
commanded
<06680> (8765)
Seraiah
<08304>
the son
<01121>
of Neriah
<05374>_,
the son
<01121>
of Maaseiah
<04271>_,
when he went
<03212> (8800)
with Zedekiah
<06667>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>
into Babylon
<0894>
in the fourth
<07243>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04427> (8800)_.
And [this] Seraiah
<08304>
[was] a quiet
<04496>
prince
<08269>_.
{with: or, on the behalf of} {quiet...: or, prince of Menucha, or, chief chamberlain}
So Jeremiah
<03414>
wrote
<03789> (8799)
in a
<0259>
book
<05612>
all the evil
<07451>
that should come
<0935> (8799)
upon Babylon
<0894>_,
[even] all these words
<01697>
that are written
<03789> (8803)
against Babylon
<0894>_.
And Jeremiah
<03414>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Seraiah
<08304>_,
When thou comest
<0935> (8800)
to Babylon
<0894>_,
and shalt see
<07200> (8804)_,
and shalt read
<07121> (8804)
all these words
<01697>_;
Then shalt thou say
<0559> (8804)_,
O LORD
<03068>_,
thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)
against this place
<04725>_,
to cut it off
<03772> (8687)_,
that none shall remain
<03427> (8802)
in it, neither man
<0120>
nor beast
<0929>_,
but that it shall be desolate
<08077>
for ever
<05769>_.
{desolate: Heb. desolations}
And it shall be, when thou hast made an end
<03615> (8763)
of reading
<07121> (8800)
this book
<05612>_,
[that] thou shalt bind
<07194> (8799)
a stone
<068>
to it, and cast
<07993> (8689)
it into the midst
<08432>
of Euphrates
<06578>_:
And thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,
Thus shall Babylon
<0894>
sink
<08257> (8799)_,
and shall not rise
<06965> (8799)
from
<06440>
the evil
<07451>
that I will bring
<0935> (8688)
upon her: and they shall be weary
<03286> (8804)_.
Thus far [are] the words
<01697>
of Jeremiah
<03414>_.

Zechariah 1:15

And I am very
<01419>
sore
<07110>
displeased
<07107> (8804)
with the heathen
<01471>
[that are] at ease
<07600>_:
for I was but a little
<04592>
displeased
<07107> (8802)_,
and they helped
<05826> (8804)
forward the affliction
<07451>_.
